- 0:08Speaker 1: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:21Speaker 1: What is up? And welcome to another edition of Cowboys Storyline.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I am Nick Eatman here. It's Tuesday, August the thirteenth,
- 0:28Speaker 1: and we're back. The phone line is back. It's been
- 0:31Speaker 1: a long time, it felt like since we've been able
- 0:33Speaker 1: to talk to the fans, because it has been You
- 0:36Speaker 1: guys did a nice job the last show. I believe
- 0:38Speaker 1: it was Thursday where we had to kind of scramble
- 0:41Speaker 1: cancel the show, come back. Got a player. Can't even
- 0:44Speaker 1: remember who that was, Mars lea fl too, it was
- 0:47Speaker 1: Marius Leah foul came to join the show. You guys
- 0:50Speaker 1: were able to send some questions in, but it's not
- 0:52Speaker 1: the same. We know it's not the same here with
- 0:55Speaker 1: Cowboys Storyline. Got everybody back at the phone line, back,
- 1:00Speaker 1: Mose back doing his thing, and we're ready ready to roll.
- 1:03Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about the game. I'll let
- 1:05Speaker 1: you guys ask the questions. I've got some opinions, but
- 1:08Speaker 1: you know, it's a preseason game. Not worried about anything
- 1:11Speaker 1: that happened at the end. If they would have won
- 1:14Speaker 1: that game twelve to six, it wouldn't have mean it
- 1:17Speaker 1: would have meant a lot, you know, as far as
- 1:19Speaker 1: the big picture, wouldn't meant anything. Actually, So giving up
- 1:22Speaker 1: a touchdown four seconds to go, Hey, it's good for
- 1:26Speaker 1: the fans. I guess that we're still there and that
- 1:29Speaker 1: we're rooting for the Rams. But for the most part,
- 1:32Speaker 1: I thought there were some good there were some bad,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and there were some things that happened in the preseason.
- 1:36Speaker 1: There's injuries. That's the one thing you want to try
- 1:40Speaker 1: to avoid, and the Cowboys really didn't do that. So
- 1:45Speaker 1: you know, to Maydoga, it looks like he's got a
- 1:47Speaker 1: toe injury. I left the game after one series. It
- 1:50Speaker 1: was supposed to play the first quarter. Obviously, Tyler Geiden
- 1:54Speaker 1: is the guy that the Cowboys are trying to get
- 1:56Speaker 1: ready to be the left tackle. But you want some
- 1:59Speaker 1: depth there, and it looks like that depth and experience
- 2:03Speaker 1: has uh is going to be you know, it's gonna
- 2:07Speaker 1: be suffered a little bit with with Jimmy Doga, he's
- 2:09Speaker 1: gonna be out. I would imagine anywhere from you know,
- 2:12Speaker 1: a month to two. So that's probably injured reserve and
- 2:15Speaker 1: then from there we'll see what happens. But you know,
- 2:18Speaker 1: it was the cupboard was Bear. It's because that's how
- 2:22Speaker 1: they signed him in the first place. I mean, there
- 2:24Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of great options there. So there's still
- 2:27Speaker 1: isn't and they're gonna have to figure out if they
- 2:29Speaker 1: can trade or or or add someone or go with
- 2:32Speaker 1: the younger guys. But obviously that offensive tackle position is uh,
- 2:38Speaker 1: it's gonna be an issue. All right, let's go to
- 2:41Speaker 1: the phone lines. We'll start it off with Brian in
- 2:43Speaker 1: Kansas City, like we've done so many times. Brian, what's up.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Good morning, sir, Good morning. I thought it was a it.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Was you know, nobody, like you said, nobody wants to
- 2:56Speaker 4: panic over a preseason game.
- 2:58Speaker 3: I thought it was good, you know, to.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Kind of get an idea of, you know, where everybody
- 3:02Speaker 4: is in all the.
- 3:04Speaker 3: The areas that we wonder about.
- 3:05Speaker 4: You know, everybody wonders is you know, how's Giton doing,
- 3:09Speaker 4: How's bb.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Doing, How's Mazy doing? You know?
- 3:12Speaker 4: And I thought those were those some of those things
- 3:15Speaker 4: were answered, not all of them, some of those things,
- 3:18Speaker 4: and so specifically for me, I was really interested in
- 3:24Speaker 4: Cooper Bebe and brock Hoffman and kind of how that
- 3:27Speaker 4: was going to play out, not only in playing time,
- 3:30Speaker 4: but you know, how is how's Bibe's progress. And you know,
- 3:35Speaker 4: it looks to me like Hoffman's probably going to be
- 3:38Speaker 4: the starter at least in the beginning of the season,
- 3:41Speaker 4: just to guess.
- 3:41Speaker 3: But that's kind of how it looks. But it looks
- 3:44Speaker 3: on the other end that.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Geyiton probably is going to make especially now after what
- 3:49Speaker 4: you just said. I didn't know his injury was serious
- 3:51Speaker 4: enough to keep him out that long. Sounds like Geiten's
- 3:55Speaker 4: going to be the man. He's going to be the
- 3:57Speaker 4: man that left tackle and holding it down anyway, just
- 4:00Speaker 4: anything in the rookie battles that stood out to you,
- 4:04Speaker 4: just pick.
- 4:04Speaker 3: One and talk about it.
- 4:06Speaker 4: And then I thought, instead of bringing up a specific
- 4:08Speaker 4: old timer today, I thought maybe I'd bring up just
- 4:12Speaker 4: tell your you know, if you have any favorite rookie
- 4:15Speaker 4: story in your history with the Cowboys, something that happened,
- 4:18Speaker 4: you know, with the player that was a rookie that
- 4:20Speaker 4: just stands out to you.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I'll hang up and listen. Man, have a great one.
- 4:24Speaker 1: All right, thanks, Brian. Man. That's pretty broad there, Just
- 4:29Speaker 1: any rookie of all time. I've got a story I'll
- 4:35Speaker 1: tell later, but to talk about your your question, and
- 4:39Speaker 1: and and I agree, I mean, I think it's very
- 4:41Speaker 1: it's very clear that Hoffman is the guy here. And
- 4:46Speaker 1: that was that was expected because your center is as
- 4:51Speaker 1: that can't just be a competition that today it's this guy,
- 4:54Speaker 1: tomorrow it's him. I mean, you really got to to
- 4:56Speaker 1: build that rapport with the offensive line, and and and
- 4:59Speaker 1: I didn't think this was gonna go that that far
- 5:02Speaker 1: into camp at all, and it really hasn't. I mean,
- 5:04Speaker 1: it's been Hoffman from day one. Bb. I think has
- 5:07Speaker 1: some issues with them with the snapping consistently, you know,
- 5:11Speaker 1: and that's normal for a guy that's never done it.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I mean, he's out there. You saw you guys have
- 5:16Speaker 1: seen the videos of him practicing with his mom.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Uh.
- 5:19Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, you know, just just him, you know,
- 5:21Speaker 1: knowing that that what he's got to get done is
- 5:23Speaker 1: those snaps. But I think Hoffman is the leader there. Bb.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I thought I did a nice job. And and he's
- 5:29Speaker 1: gonna play some you know, he's maybe maybe guard is
- 5:32Speaker 1: gonna be his best position. Who knows just yet, but
- 5:35Speaker 1: but they they know that they like him. They know
- 5:37Speaker 1: he's mean, he's nasty, he's very smart, he's tough. He's
- 5:40Speaker 1: gonna be a good alignment whether it's guard center at
- 5:44Speaker 1: some point. So I don't think he has to play
- 5:46Speaker 1: right now. Tyler Goeyton, though obviously does have to play.
- 5:51Speaker 5: Uh.
- 5:51Speaker 1: To answer your question about a rookie story for me,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you know the one that I always well, I don't
- 5:59Speaker 1: bring up a lot, but you know, this last week,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of reflecting just with me,
- 6:05Speaker 1: starting with the Cowboys twenty five years ago. I don't
- 6:08Speaker 1: know if you were able to see on Twitter and
- 6:13Speaker 1: Instagram and stuff like that, I was being able to
- 6:16Speaker 1: post a twenty five year twenty five years of working
- 6:20Speaker 1: for the team. Jerry was able to take a picture
- 6:22Speaker 1: with me and stuff. It was a really cool moment.
- 6:25Speaker 1: But I think back that first, my first year working
- 6:27Speaker 1: for the team, nineteen ninety nine, I didn't know anybody
- 6:31Speaker 1: in the locker room. You know, that's the thing, that's
- 6:32Speaker 1: how you survived. You gotta talk to people. You got
- 6:35Speaker 1: to like know what happened. You got to have a
- 6:37Speaker 1: guy or two or seven that you could talk to.
- 6:39Speaker 1: And I didn't have anybody. And the one guy that
- 6:42Speaker 1: I actually became I think, pretty good friends with was
- 6:47Speaker 1: a young player named Dewan Hawthorne, number thirty eight, rookie
- 6:51Speaker 1: from northern Illinois, and like, there's no way this guy's
- 6:54Speaker 1: making the team. You know, there's Dion and there's Kevin Smith,
- 6:57Speaker 1: and there's Dewan Hawthorne. You know, he's like five eight,
- 7:00Speaker 1: five nine maybe, and he made the team and he
- 7:02Speaker 1: played four years and he was he was my guy.
- 7:05Speaker 1: He called me the Knickster and uh scooter they called
- 7:09Speaker 1: him and and I. So that was just the guy
- 7:11Speaker 1: who was kind of like, well he's new. I'm new, Like,
- 7:15Speaker 1: no way this guy from northern Illinois is gonna make
- 7:17Speaker 1: the team. No way, this kid from midwestern state is
- 7:18Speaker 1: gonna be able to run with the cowboys. And so
- 7:21Speaker 1: that was That's just what I always think about, like that.
- 7:23Speaker 1: That was my guy, Dawn Hawthorne. So I haven't I
- 7:26Speaker 1: haven't heard from him in a while, but but yeah,
- 7:28Speaker 1: he was. That's just the guy that comes to mind.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a thousand stories like that. All Right,
- 7:33Speaker 1: let's go to Germany. Zach is in Germany. What's up, Nick?
- 7:38Speaker 6: How's it going?
- 7:38Speaker 3: Man?
- 7:39Speaker 5: Man?
- 7:39Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing. Thanks for calling good now.
- 7:42Speaker 6: I've probably have been trying to trying to get in,
- 7:44Speaker 6: but phone lines down last week and some other personal
- 7:47Speaker 6: things going on. But congratulations on the twenty five years.
- 7:50Speaker 6: A couple more great gray hairs than those that beard.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yeah, I didn't even I didn't even know
- 7:55Speaker 1: what a beard was back back then ninety nine. I
- 7:58Speaker 1: mean I was, Yeah, I didn't know anything about that.
- 8:02Speaker 1: That's fair.
- 8:03Speaker 6: Yeah, in reference to the game, just trying to remind everybody,
- 8:06Speaker 6: you know, it really doesn't matter the wins and losses.
- 8:09Speaker 6: You know, it's really more of the individual player evaluation
- 8:12Speaker 6: for the most part, outside like the line of course,
- 8:15Speaker 6: So let's not get too caught up on the wins
- 8:17Speaker 6: and losses. If I'm not mistaken, I think Detroit when
- 8:21Speaker 6: they had the zer to sixteen season, they actually went
- 8:23Speaker 6: four to zero in the preseason. I don't think many
- 8:25Speaker 6: people realize that.
- 8:26Speaker 3: But good, good perspective.
- 8:28Speaker 6: The main thing I wanted to go over was actually
- 8:30Speaker 6: a couple of things. One, how about we get some
- 8:33Speaker 6: praise to Al Harris these defensive backs ever since he's
- 8:36Speaker 6: arrived as Ballhawks, I don't think we praised him enough.
- 8:40Speaker 6: And then what's their opinion on our linebacker re court.
- 8:43Speaker 6: How do you think they looked overall, not just in
- 8:45Speaker 6: the game, but throughout training camp so far.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well thanks for the call, Z. I appreciate that.
- 8:51Speaker 1: And uh again, I say it every time, it feels like,
- 8:55Speaker 1: you know, guys that are overseas and following this team,
- 8:58Speaker 1: you know that those are the those are those are
- 9:01Speaker 1: true fans. I'm not saying the true fans, because there
- 9:03Speaker 1: you can be a true fan right here in California
- 9:05Speaker 1: or Dallas or whatever. But but you know, it's it
- 9:08Speaker 1: really shows just how tough it is to cover the
- 9:10Speaker 1: team and do it in different you know, time zones
- 9:14Speaker 1: and things like that. So we appreciate you for sure
- 9:17Speaker 1: for the question about Al Harris. I mean, every ever
- 9:20Speaker 1: since he's been here, there's been guys leading the league
- 9:22Speaker 1: and picks and whether it be Digs or or Bland
- 9:26Speaker 1: or or whatever.
- 9:27Speaker 5: You know.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Now now, some of those interceptions the other day, I
- 9:29Speaker 1: think we're credit of that defense and scheme. And it
- 9:32Speaker 1: wasn't just all defensive backs, and you know, there was
- 9:36Speaker 1: many or corners that were safeties, there was linebackers. They
- 9:39Speaker 1: were all kind of making plays. Enough plays that you
- 9:42Speaker 1: probably should have won the game, but that, like you said,
- 9:45Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't matter that much. To answer your question about
- 9:48Speaker 1: the linebackers, yeah, I mean I see more depth there.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I mean, that's just this is what it looks like
- 9:55Speaker 1: right now. But that always happens until you know, knock
- 9:59Speaker 1: on wood. But you know, if you have an injury,
- 10:02Speaker 1: then that's where it gets tested. But right now, you know,
- 10:06Speaker 1: like what Eric Kendricks is doing over shown looks really
- 10:09Speaker 1: good and then it looks like he's going to be
- 10:11Speaker 1: a player. I think Mary Sleeve al is gonna be
- 10:13Speaker 1: a really good player. Dumont Clark, you know, we'll see
- 10:17Speaker 1: what what what he's got in this new scheme, see
- 10:19Speaker 1: what Zimmer's got, you know for him, and I mean
- 10:21Speaker 1: this is year three for him. Light bulb you know,
- 10:24Speaker 1: has been on. It's just gotta it's gotta shine bright.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I like Willie Harvey, I like, I like what he's done.
- 10:29Speaker 1: And then you know, we'll see what an in vigil
- 10:32Speaker 1: I think has it has a shot to to to
- 10:35Speaker 1: stick around and make it so it does. It does
- 10:39Speaker 1: seem like it's a little bit there's more depth there
- 10:43Speaker 1: at the linebacker position, for sure. Uh And I don't
- 10:45Speaker 1: know if I answered the Al Harris part as well.
- 10:48Speaker 7: Al.
- 10:50Speaker 1: You know, Al does a really really good job just
- 10:53Speaker 1: just I think he has a great mix of kind
- 10:57Speaker 1: of treating the players like men, but he's also he
- 11:01Speaker 1: also gets after him real well. And then in today's player,
- 11:03Speaker 1: that's a that's a balance. I think he gets their respect.
- 11:06Speaker 1: He's a really good player, but he just knows how
- 11:09Speaker 1: to relate to them.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Uh.
- 11:10Speaker 1: And it works, I mean they you know, it also
- 11:16Speaker 1: helps too because he's got cornerbacks and safeties that are
- 11:19Speaker 1: you know that are that have good hands. You know,
- 11:22Speaker 1: that's always been the running joke. Well, and that's why
- 11:24Speaker 1: you play defense. But these guys, man, they hit the
- 11:26Speaker 1: drugs machine as much as any of the receivers do.
- 11:29Speaker 1: And and it shows. I mean that they have good
- 11:31Speaker 1: ballhawks out there. And I think you're going to see
- 11:34Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions this year, just the way that
- 11:36Speaker 1: the blitzing, you know, the way that that Zimmer dials
- 11:41Speaker 1: up those blitzes. And I think because of that, the
- 11:44Speaker 1: ball is going to get out really quick. And and
- 11:46Speaker 1: they you couple that with the fact that they can
- 11:48Speaker 1: catch the ball. I think you're gonna see a lot
- 11:50Speaker 1: of picks. We saw it in that in that game.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Uh Sunday, all right, Randy and Texarkana. What's that?
- 11:55Speaker 8: Randy?
- 11:56Speaker 3: What?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Just chilling man, just chilling halfway listen to you, halfway
- 12:03Speaker 1: listening to the mowers, you know, just trying to make
- 12:05Speaker 1: it work. But I'm just so happy I'm being able
- 12:07Speaker 1: to listen to anybody now with Chris aka got it done?
- 12:13Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I'm talking to you about that. Why why
- 12:15Speaker 9: don't y'all just move There's got to be a different
- 12:18Speaker 9: location for show.
- 12:22Speaker 1: That sounds really good. It sounds like a decent idea.
- 12:25Speaker 1: But here's the thing. This desk right here, this desk, like, yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 1: it really is. I think something got dropped over here.
- 12:36Speaker 1: But no, I mean it's it's not easy to just
- 12:38Speaker 1: move all the things, all the cords. If you saw
- 12:40Speaker 1: this setup, it's really not that easy to move right now.
- 12:45Speaker 1: But it's it's it's more of the of the shot
- 12:49Speaker 1: of how it looks, you know, with this fence here
- 12:51Speaker 1: and then in the field. That's really what the what
- 12:54Speaker 1: the plan is, what it's all about. You really can't
- 12:58Speaker 1: go anywhere without you know, the mowers would find us.
- 13:02Speaker 1: He would find us, you know what I mean.
- 13:04Speaker 9: I think it's a setup.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:06Speaker 9: So if if if Mikey in England was correct, I
- 13:11Speaker 9: think today is Travis's birthday. Is a happy birthday Travis.
- 13:14Speaker 9: If I'm right, If I'm wrong, hey whatever, And then
- 13:17Speaker 9: uh also, if Travis and Rob call you today, bring
- 13:21Speaker 9: up their opinion on Dak versus Trey Land and if
- 13:29Speaker 9: you I don't know, if you talk at what story liners?
- 13:33Speaker 1: No, I didn't see that. What's what's okay?
- 13:35Speaker 9: Okay, that's how I will say. Just them too. They
- 13:38Speaker 9: went at it, man. They we could be talking about
- 13:41Speaker 9: the Tiggers and they would find a way to bring
- 13:44Speaker 9: it back to trade. And they were going at it.
- 13:48Speaker 9: It was It was good times. But anyway, I'm about
- 13:51Speaker 9: to come into some traffic, so I'm just gonna ask
- 13:53Speaker 9: you a quick question, a quick and jump off and
- 13:55Speaker 9: let you answer up the error. And by the way,
- 13:57Speaker 9: this ten o'clark getting on here at ten o'clock, tough man,
- 14:00Speaker 9: that's right in a meeting my route is that what
- 14:03Speaker 9: you're gonna say is seeing once you go back.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this will be our time slide. That's why
- 14:07Speaker 1: we really wanted to do that. Eight. Hold on though,
- 14:11Speaker 1: hold on there, Randy, question for you, because I've been
- 14:14Speaker 1: to Texas can a few times. That's like you said, traffic.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Is that what you said?
- 14:21Speaker 10: Oh?
- 14:21Speaker 9: Well, today I'm on what you call a road run.
- 14:24Speaker 9: I'm going up to the top of Arkansas to day.
- 14:27Speaker 9: I run up there and I meet somebody coming out
- 14:29Speaker 9: of the north and we meet up.
- 14:33Speaker 1: All right, Well, I I was in a bus for
- 14:35Speaker 1: like an hour and a half going to LA and back.
- 14:38Speaker 1: And I don't know that that's that's smelled like traffic
- 14:40Speaker 1: a little bit though, texta can I don't know, but
- 14:42Speaker 1: you know what to each And then all right, I
- 14:44Speaker 1: don't know about this Tree Lance versus Dak Prescott. I
- 14:47Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, do they play different? Is it
- 14:49Speaker 1: like a basketball thing or who's taller? No, because this
- 14:52Speaker 1: isn't about I'm playing football, right.
- 14:55Speaker 9: It was more of Alan's gonna be our future, the
- 14:59Speaker 9: money we give him if that chooses not to stay.
- 15:02Speaker 9: Just that whole subject. And yeah, they were going back
- 15:05Speaker 9: and forth about it. It's pretty good talking. I'll let them. Okay,
- 15:08Speaker 9: I do it because I'm not going to do it
- 15:10Speaker 9: any justice. But I got my thing was was all right,
- 15:14Speaker 9: so you got Cleveland Brown and you know, year to
- 15:16Speaker 9: year everything's different. But we're going to assume that they're
- 15:19Speaker 9: gonna have one of the top defense at beginning this
- 15:21Speaker 9: year because they're just that stack. Ye wouldn't it, wouldn't
- 15:25Speaker 9: it be a good idea to go ahead and get
- 15:27Speaker 9: Dag a little game time before we go into that,
- 15:29Speaker 9: because I would hate for him to go into a
- 15:31Speaker 9: Cleveland told you know what I mean. And I get
- 15:35Speaker 9: that they're practicing, but it's not the same as going
- 15:38Speaker 9: straight into a game.
- 15:39Speaker 10: So but I'll let you enter that.
- 15:41Speaker 9: I'll jump off here because I am coming in a
- 15:43Speaker 9: little rock. But hey, I'm glad to get with y'all.
- 15:45Speaker 9: I've been trying, the phones have been out, trapped out,
- 15:48Speaker 9: all that good stuff, but I'm glad to get back in.
- 15:51Speaker 9: Just know I'm listening all the time, and I'll never
- 15:53Speaker 9: forget about you.
- 15:54Speaker 7: Hi.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Thanks Randy, always, always thank you, Thank you. Always good
- 15:59Speaker 1: to talk to Randy. If I don't know, I mean,
- 16:03Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more to that than just the Trey
- 16:05Speaker 1: Lance versus Dak Prescott or the feature or whatever. But
- 16:09Speaker 1: I advise people it's really not that hard, and I
- 16:11Speaker 1: think they're they're do it. Anyways, Watch the game, you know,
- 16:14Speaker 1: watch the preseason game, because if you watch the preseason game,
- 16:18Speaker 1: I mean you're I don't know. I mean, like it's
- 16:21Speaker 1: obviously not gonna be He's not gonna be the starter
- 16:23Speaker 1: or the backup. I mean, Cooper Rush is way way
- 16:26Speaker 1: ahead of him, to the point where I don't even
- 16:28Speaker 1: think Cooper Rush needs to play anymore in the preseason.
- 16:30Speaker 1: I mean, we're good, We're good. There, you go in,
- 16:33Speaker 1: make a deep throw, it's fine. Yeah, if you have
- 16:36Speaker 1: to play, I think he'll be ready. I want to
- 16:39Speaker 1: see more from Trey Lance. I want to see Morgan
- 16:42Speaker 1: with any cling anything close to the starters, whatever they
- 16:45Speaker 1: throw out there in Vegas, whether it be some starters
- 16:49Speaker 1: or maybe the Raiders play some guys. I just want
- 16:52Speaker 1: him to see that. So, you know, he needs to
- 16:55Speaker 1: needs to show that needs to play a little bit more,
- 16:58Speaker 1: a lot more actually, So I don't know, But there
- 17:02Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be anything. I wouldn't I wouldn't even
- 17:05Speaker 1: remotely talk about him being a future of the Cowboys
- 17:10Speaker 1: or anything like that. I mean, what we saw the
- 17:12Speaker 1: other day was not was not that great. His accuracy
- 17:16Speaker 1: has been an issue since he's been here. At practice.
- 17:19Speaker 1: It wasn't much better in the game. He had some drops,
- 17:22Speaker 1: but he also had some catches that were on passes
- 17:25Speaker 1: that did not look very accurate, and they had kind
- 17:28Speaker 1: of helped him out. So I thought, I thought he
- 17:32Speaker 1: was gonna play much better. I really thought Trey Lanser
- 17:34Speaker 1: was going to play better. And he didn't. He didn't,
- 17:36Speaker 1: But you know what, he'll get more chances. We'll see
- 17:38Speaker 1: what he does. I mean, there was a lot of rust.
- 17:40Speaker 1: There's been a lot of rust. As for the part
- 17:42Speaker 1: about Dak, it's not happening number one. I mean, he
- 17:47Speaker 1: hasn't played a preseason snapped since twenty nineteen. And I
- 17:51Speaker 1: always go back to I always go back to the
- 17:54Speaker 1: game twenty twenty one. I guess yeah, because he got
- 17:59Speaker 1: it hurt in twenty two, remember the bad ankle injury,
- 18:02Speaker 1: of course the Giants game, and then he was out
- 18:05Speaker 1: the whole season. Comes back twenty twenty one and doesn't
- 18:09Speaker 1: do anything, and it doesn't play any of the preseason,
- 18:13Speaker 1: and then the first game back is against the Bucks
- 18:16Speaker 1: and you know they they definitely could have won that game.
- 18:21Speaker 1: They lost two seconds to go. Tom Brady let him down,
- 18:23Speaker 1: won the game. But I mean, I think he threw
- 18:25Speaker 1: for over four hundred yards and he was really really
- 18:27Speaker 1: good in that game, and he hadn't played not only
- 18:31Speaker 1: all of the preseason, but all since like what October
- 18:34Speaker 1: of the year before. So that's what I always look
- 18:37Speaker 1: at as far as Dak will get himself ready to go.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I need to do a little bit more research on
- 18:42Speaker 1: the last few openers. They're not ringing the bell as
- 18:45Speaker 1: far as how he's playing. But you know now that
- 18:49Speaker 1: game against Tampa the next year, but he did get
- 18:52Speaker 1: hurt again where he hurt his thumb, and that was
- 18:54Speaker 1: about as bad as you thought that. You know, it
- 18:57Speaker 1: could get there. But I think for the most part,
- 19:00Speaker 1: he's not starting out super slow where you would say
- 19:04Speaker 1: why are they not? You know, they should play him more,
- 19:06Speaker 1: because I just don't think you're gonna play him anybody
- 19:09Speaker 1: enough to say he's good, he's ready. I think at
- 19:13Speaker 1: this point in his career, I think he can step
- 19:15Speaker 1: right in. And it's the risk reward. It's just not
- 19:18Speaker 1: worth it. It's just not worth it when you have
- 19:19Speaker 1: a chance to get injured or whatever the game. That
- 19:22Speaker 1: just doesn't matter. All right, let's go, let's take a
- 19:25Speaker 1: Let's go to Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
- 19:27Speaker 5: Lewis, what's going on.
- 19:30Speaker 11: I'm trying to keep it short.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Thanks BN.
- 19:33Speaker 11: I was sitting there watching the game, and I love
- 19:36Speaker 11: I will. I won't say I loved because I wanted
- 19:38Speaker 11: to see more, but I enjoyed watching MOBI and I
- 19:41Speaker 11: was wonder watching him be real, stout and square. Was
- 19:45Speaker 11: this a testament of him losing weight? Was this Dame
- 19:48Speaker 11: Quinn trying to make him lose weight last year to
- 19:50Speaker 11: try to make him a pass rusher? Because I felt
- 19:52Speaker 11: like he did a lot more. And I know this
- 19:55Speaker 11: is the first preseason game and he wasn't against all
- 19:58Speaker 11: the starters, but he like he was doing.
- 20:01Speaker 5: His job a lot better at just being.
- 20:03Speaker 11: Square and being where he needed to be in this
- 20:06Speaker 11: one game. Did we ever saw him play last year
- 20:09Speaker 11: where he looked like he was just a fish out
- 20:11Speaker 11: of water? And like I said, I'll be sure because
- 20:14Speaker 11: I know you're abably about to take a break and
- 20:16Speaker 11: I'll take it off there.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Lewis, great call, hits, the topic
- 20:22Speaker 1: knows the game. Appreciate that. I know you guys have
- 20:24Speaker 1: a lot of things to say, and so that that
- 20:26Speaker 1: means a lot when guys are able to do that,
- 20:28Speaker 1: because we could sit and talk all day long. So
- 20:31Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I think for Mossie, it starts with
- 20:35Speaker 1: just getting off the ball quickly. That that was something
- 20:37Speaker 1: that didn't seem like to be his best thing last year.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Get off the ball and hit that snap, and so
- 20:45Speaker 1: that's that's one where I just feel like, uh, he
- 20:48Speaker 1: needs to do. You know, he needs to be a
- 20:51Speaker 1: little bit better there, because you can get off the
- 20:55Speaker 1: ball quickly, then all of a sudden, you know, you
- 20:57Speaker 1: you you can get back to you know, the line
- 20:59Speaker 1: of scrimmaging and the double teams because he's gonna get hit.
- 21:02Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna definitely get those double teams and
- 21:05Speaker 1: you can't get knocked back four five yards. There was
- 21:08Speaker 1: a couple of times I think he got walled off
- 21:10Speaker 1: a little bit, but for the most part, it does
- 21:13Speaker 1: look better. And they need him to play, There's no
- 21:16Speaker 1: doubt about it. They got to get him to play,
- 21:18Speaker 1: and he you know, it's one game, but I want
- 21:22Speaker 1: to see a little bit more of it. I think
- 21:23Speaker 1: his size and his weight is where it needs to
- 21:25Speaker 1: be right now. I'm not even gonna speculate on what
- 21:27Speaker 1: happened last year, whether it was Quinn, whether it was
- 21:30Speaker 1: him what it was, I don't know. He wasn't ready
- 21:32Speaker 1: to play and in the middle and get those double
- 21:36Speaker 1: teams like he is doing this year. All right, we
- 21:38Speaker 1: are going to take a quick break. We do have
- 21:40Speaker 1: one phone line open right now, so we'll take a break.
- 21:42Speaker 1: We'll be right back here on the storyline.

- 23:26Speaker 7: Nick? How you doing good?
- 23:27Speaker 1: How are you good?
- 23:29Speaker 13: And good?
- 23:31Speaker 3: Still?
- 23:32Speaker 7: Optimistic?
- 23:32Speaker 3: Guy?
- 23:34Speaker 7: Was you were talking about Al Harrison the job he's
- 23:36Speaker 7: done earlier, and I'd like the mirror that comment. I'll
- 23:42Speaker 7: say this, when it comes down to the final roster,
- 23:46Speaker 7: there's a lot of teams that are in need of
- 23:49Speaker 7: defensive backs, particularly safeties and cornerbacks. They're going to be
- 23:53Speaker 7: watching the wave wire for the Cowboys because we got
- 23:57Speaker 7: more talent than we're going to be able to keep.
- 24:02Speaker 1: The safeties okay.
- 24:06Speaker 7: Overall, I thought that the defense played very well. Uh
- 24:11Speaker 7: considering the number of shuffles that you had the guys
- 24:16Speaker 7: in and out, there were a couple of glitches, but overall,
- 24:20Speaker 7: the defense played very solid.
- 24:23Speaker 3: And the fact that.
- 24:25Speaker 7: Our new defensive coordinator, who's definitely not new to being
- 24:31Speaker 7: a defensive coordinator, who was calling the defense about him,
- 24:35Speaker 7: referring to his call sheet, and that was very impressing.
- 24:39Speaker 7: And what was impressive about that was the fact that
- 24:43Speaker 7: how far these guys have come since the spring training began.
- 24:50Speaker 7: I'm optimistic. I was I was some observations about Trade Lance.
- 24:57Speaker 7: I'm I'm in agreement with Nate Newton. The boy needs
- 25:01Speaker 7: another year seasoning. He just hasn't played enough football. He's athletic,
- 25:07Speaker 7: he's great with his feet, he's he has a tendency
- 25:11Speaker 7: to throw the ball high. He doesn't lay it in
- 25:15Speaker 7: there on the dime very well, but I think that
- 25:19Speaker 7: can come with the experience. I think that we definitely
- 25:24Speaker 7: know who our backup quarterback is, and that's Cooper Rush,
- 25:28Speaker 7: and deservedly so. But I think we ought to keep
- 25:31Speaker 7: Trey Lance around for another year and try to develop him.
- 25:33Speaker 1: What do you think, Yeah, I think he will be
- 25:36Speaker 1: around for another year to develop. So yeah, I think
- 25:38Speaker 1: I think I think you're right about that. You're right
- 25:40Speaker 1: about all all those things about needing more and things,
- 25:43Speaker 1: and you know he needs more. Passes are too high,
- 25:47Speaker 1: he's athletic. Everything you're saying is is accurate, which is
- 25:53Speaker 1: I don't know if that word should be used with him,
- 25:54Speaker 1: but I think that the problem was is that third
- 26:01Speaker 1: round I mean, third overall pick. I mean everything that
- 26:04Speaker 1: this that his development is reminds me of Tony Romo
- 26:09Speaker 1: right four years now and he needs another one needs
- 26:13Speaker 1: another year, fifth year, not the third overall pick. The
- 26:16Speaker 1: third overall pick should play then right now, ready to go.
- 26:19Speaker 1: That's what's so head scratching about this. And I know
- 26:22Speaker 1: his college career was a little unique because played at
- 26:26Speaker 1: North Dakota State, didn't play a lot. They were winning games.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Then the COVID hit. They didn't even play a whole season,
- 26:32Speaker 1: so they kind of had to project there, and you
- 26:36Speaker 1: know it, it wasn't there. I mean, I mean they
- 26:39Speaker 1: just looked at the size and the measurables and all that,
- 26:41Speaker 1: but he didn't have enough on tape. And I think
- 26:44Speaker 1: you know that he got it was fortunate to get
- 26:46Speaker 1: picked where he did. But you know, uters don't need
- 26:50Speaker 1: that much development for the most part if you're drafted
- 26:53Speaker 1: to high But hey, it doesn't matter now he's he's
- 26:57Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, fourth a trade for a fourth rounder,
- 27:01Speaker 1: and he's gonna be your third quarterback and he's gonna
- 27:03Speaker 1: get to play in the preseason here and we'll see
- 27:05Speaker 1: what happens as he continues to develop. All right, let's
- 27:09Speaker 1: go to Dylan. He's in Northport, Florida.
- 27:12Speaker 8: Hey, mix Stuart perhaps in the twenty five years.
- 27:14Speaker 1: And thank you appreciated, Dylan.
- 27:17Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I've been looskening to you for a long time.
- 27:19Speaker 14: I said it before, but a lot of what I say,
- 27:22Speaker 14: I think comes from from my internet kin Derek and
- 27:25Speaker 14: you guys that have been around for a while. So
- 27:26Speaker 14: appreciate everything you've done and everything you.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Do did oh because I appreciate you getting the storyline
- 27:32Speaker 1: and the storylinebackers and the storyliners and what y'all call it.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Sounds like y'all y'all having some fun over there.
- 27:37Speaker 8: Sorry that I told I wrote that dad joke down
- 27:40Speaker 8: with Marris. He didn't really seem to enjoy it the
- 27:42Speaker 8: way you did. But yeah, yeah, I didn't want to talk.
- 27:47Speaker 14: About Trey, but real quick first overshown glad to see
- 27:52Speaker 14: him bawling out, just kind of like he did last
- 27:55Speaker 14: preseason in his limited time and not even you know,
- 27:58Speaker 14: there's the one play where you made a tackle. Look
- 28:00Speaker 14: and I sat on that screen. He did something that
- 28:02Speaker 14: the linebackers didn't really do last year, as he was
- 28:04Speaker 14: aggressive and he destroyed the lead back on that screen.
- 28:07Speaker 8: And that's important.
- 28:10Speaker 1: It doesn't get the doesn't get to tackle your rights
- 28:12Speaker 1: down there. I think it was first down down there
- 28:14Speaker 1: by the ten, but snuffed it out, got there, forced
- 28:17Speaker 1: him inside. The rest of the guys made the play,
- 28:19Speaker 1: and you know, and he sacrificed his body and and
- 28:22Speaker 1: you know, to do that, that's what you have to do.
- 28:24Speaker 1: You have to just go and you know, force to
- 28:26Speaker 1: the inside. I thought he was really good. It was
- 28:28Speaker 1: really really good at instinctive play. So you're right. I
- 28:33Speaker 1: like what I saw in the short time we saw
- 28:35Speaker 1: overs and I liked it.
- 28:37Speaker 14: Yeah, and I almost want to hold him not the
- 28:39Speaker 14: rest of the preseason at this point. I know he
- 28:40Speaker 14: needs the experience because he hasn't played, but man, I'm scared.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. That's I'm with you. I mean I
- 28:46Speaker 1: used to be the other way around. I used to
- 28:47Speaker 1: be like, let's play it. You know, you got to
- 28:48Speaker 1: play football. But now I'm like, you know, there's seventeen
- 28:52Speaker 1: games that matter, he's three that don't. Just just get
- 28:55Speaker 1: him there, get him ready to go. And you know,
- 28:58Speaker 1: I just I'd play only only only enough to get
- 29:02Speaker 1: through the game. That's what I would do.
- 29:05Speaker 8: Yeah, no doubt.
- 29:07Speaker 14: Andrey, Yeah, we talked this last night. It was like
- 29:10Speaker 14: a three and a half hour call we were on,
- 29:11Speaker 14: and an hour of that was dedicated to this tray
- 29:13Speaker 14: hypothetical conversation. And you know, me and Rob were kind
- 29:17Speaker 14: of with the mindset that if if that doesn't come
- 29:20Speaker 14: back next year, we all think he's going to come back.
- 29:22Speaker 14: But if by some crazy reason he doesn't come back
- 29:24Speaker 14: next year, who's who's going to play?
- 29:27Speaker 8: Right? Who's a quarterback?
- 29:28Speaker 14: And me and Rob were like, well, you probably go
- 29:30Speaker 14: out and sign a free agent, maybe draft a guy, whatever,
- 29:33Speaker 14: because Trey's is not ready from.
- 29:34Speaker 5: What we know of.
- 29:35Speaker 14: And this was before the game on Sunday, and I
- 29:37Speaker 14: think the game is reinforced that even further, where you know,
- 29:41Speaker 14: he looks like an athletic quarterback. You can see some
- 29:43Speaker 14: positive stuff there, but every throw is high or behind
- 29:46Speaker 14: the receiver. He's leaving guys hanging out to dry. He
- 29:50Speaker 14: doesn't have a ton of experience, but that's not really
- 29:52Speaker 14: the Cowboys problem. Kind of did themselves a disservice by
- 29:54Speaker 14: trading for this guy who's got one year left on
- 29:56Speaker 14: his deal. They don't really have the time to develop him,
- 29:59Speaker 14: and you know, carrying a third quarterback, I don't like
- 30:02Speaker 14: to do that. I'm guessing they probably will, but I
- 30:06Speaker 14: guess I had a question for you, is he do
- 30:08Speaker 14: you think he's at risk of if he doesn't play
- 30:10Speaker 14: better in the next two preseason games, is he at
- 30:13Speaker 14: risk of not even making the team potentially this year?
- 30:16Speaker 1: Yeah? Think Thanks for the call, Dylan, and I said, yeah,
- 30:20Speaker 1: I really answered My answer that question is no, I
- 30:25Speaker 1: do not think he's in danger of not making the team.
- 30:29Speaker 1: I think with the third quarterback and the rules now,
- 30:32Speaker 1: and and also the fact that you traded for him
- 30:35Speaker 1: with the fourth round picking and you said with one
- 30:37Speaker 1: year left on his deal, I mean to be fair,
- 30:39Speaker 1: I mean he was two years left on his deal.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I mean it was last year and this year. I
- 30:43Speaker 1: mean he was he was here all last year to develop,
- 30:46Speaker 1: you know, and so he look at it now and
- 30:49Speaker 1: you're like, didn't seem like a lot of development. But
- 30:53Speaker 1: it's hard to get ready to play football without playing football,
- 30:57Speaker 1: you know. So I don't I don't think he's in
- 30:59Speaker 1: danger of of making the team.
- 31:01Speaker 5: I don't.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I don't think that. I think he'll be here. It's
- 31:03Speaker 1: the four third quarterback, and and you know, I think
- 31:08Speaker 1: the Cowys are hopeful he doesn't he doesn't play, but
- 31:11Speaker 1: he's gonna have to get two more games. We'll see
- 31:14Speaker 1: how he plays against the Raiders and whoever is the
- 31:18Speaker 1: third game against UH Chargers. I think that'll be fun.
- 31:22Speaker 1: But you know, just he'll he'll play. I think he'll
- 31:25Speaker 1: play better. And and like you said, every every you know,
- 31:28Speaker 1: the passes are high. You know, here's the glass half
- 31:35Speaker 1: full part of it. If if he goes out and
- 31:39Speaker 1: completes a pass to Cropper, and I mean he's wide open,
- 31:43Speaker 1: you know, or not wide open, but that's a pass.
- 31:45Speaker 1: You know, they fourth and one, they throw the ball
- 31:46Speaker 1: to him. I don't agree with the call, but they did.
- 31:49Speaker 1: They threw it to him. He can get that pass
- 31:52Speaker 1: and he's gotta He's got a couple of plays where
- 31:55Speaker 1: tight ends wide open over the middle. One was Fan,
- 31:58Speaker 1: other one I think was Holler. He had fourteen Cam
- 32:01Speaker 1: Johnson down the right sideline, missed that one. Those four
- 32:05Speaker 1: four passes, they missed them all and and i'd like
- 32:09Speaker 1: to think that, you know, with his next game out
- 32:12Speaker 1: he hits two of those. That's probably two touchdowns at
- 32:17Speaker 1: some point there, and we're thinking completely different about him.
- 32:21Speaker 1: So that's how far we are. It's not it's just
- 32:25Speaker 1: a couple of passes here and there. Just work on that,
- 32:28Speaker 1: work on your timing, work on your rhythm, Complete that
- 32:31Speaker 1: pass here, complete this pass here, and we're talking about
- 32:34Speaker 1: a different experience. So that would be the the the
- 32:39Speaker 1: glass half full approach there. Of Hey, it wasn't great
- 32:43Speaker 1: at all. He didn't make he didn't make a lot
- 32:46Speaker 1: of mistakes. He used to make a lot of plays either,
- 32:48Speaker 1: and I think he was he was kind of close
- 32:50Speaker 1: to doing that. So anyways, that's that's my take on him.
- 32:53Speaker 1: All right, thanks for a call there. Let's go to Gavin,
- 32:55Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, first time caller.
- 32:58Speaker 10: Yes, I appreciate, appreciate what you do.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Man.
- 33:02Speaker 13: I've been listening since the first game last year, and
- 33:06Speaker 13: I really appreciate hearing what the other fans have to say,
- 33:10Speaker 13: even though sometimes Cowboys fans get on my nerves even
- 33:13Speaker 13: as a Cowboys fan, but it happens.
- 33:15Speaker 3: I do appreciate what you do.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Thank you, Vin.
- 33:19Speaker 10: I just wanted to say that.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Here we Go it's yeah, the same. I'm sorry, I can't.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I can't do it. The Trey Lance spa. That might
- 33:29Speaker 1: be what they were talking about about Trey Lance versus Dak.
- 33:32Speaker 1: They both have really really good strong Here we goes,
- 33:36Speaker 1: That's what it was. That's that has to be.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Maybe as part of the system. I like it.
- 33:40Speaker 10: I know some people have talked about maybe they shouldn't
- 33:43Speaker 10: do the cadence because it gives away when they're going
- 33:45Speaker 10: to do this man or something like that, but I
- 33:48Speaker 10: personally like it.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think I think it's fine. I don't
- 33:51Speaker 1: think it was hurting them last year. We'll see how
- 33:53Speaker 1: it does this year, right.
- 33:56Speaker 10: I just had a couple of things to say about
- 33:59Speaker 10: the preseason game. I really like and was encouraged by
- 34:05Speaker 10: what I saw with h with Mazie and Tyler Guiden
- 34:09Speaker 10: in the trenches. But I think people in the community
- 34:12Speaker 10: are getting very excited about about guiding, and I think
- 34:15Speaker 10: they need to slow down just a little bit because
- 34:18Speaker 10: I do like what I see with his footwork and
- 34:20Speaker 10: his position is.
- 34:21Speaker 5: But I really don't like what.
- 34:23Speaker 10: I see from an anchor standpoint. I used to be
- 34:25Speaker 10: an offensive lineman. I'm not, you know, a coach by
- 34:29Speaker 10: any means or nothing like that. But I feel like
- 34:31Speaker 10: he gets in front of himself a little bit, and
- 34:34Speaker 10: that a past rusher like Myles Garrett that he might
- 34:38Speaker 10: see during the year, I feel like they would be
- 34:41Speaker 10: too strong for him if he doesn't get a better anchor.
- 34:44Speaker 3: That's just what I saw.
- 34:46Speaker 1: But and that's fair. And that's part of of trying
- 34:49Speaker 1: to to play, you know, and and and play on
- 34:52Speaker 1: the run and and and and learn, you know, learn
- 34:56Speaker 1: how to play a left tackle here in the NFL.
- 34:58Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's right because and you know
- 35:01Speaker 1: this at playing the position you know, did you play
- 35:05Speaker 1: in high school? I would imagine, yeah, I didn't make
- 35:08Speaker 1: it past That's fine though. That's the point. Let me
- 35:11Speaker 1: ask you this, when you were a senior, what was
- 35:14Speaker 1: hard earth, you know, like Wednesday and Thursday playing against
- 35:17Speaker 1: the JV or Friday night in the games. I mean,
- 35:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna imagine it was Friday night, right of course.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Right.
- 35:23Speaker 1: So that's the thing. You know, there's some times at Oklahoma,
- 35:27Speaker 1: I'm sure where he can get away with with just
- 35:30Speaker 1: from an athletic standpoint, just because he's got the feet,
- 35:32Speaker 1: just got he's got the link. And so when he's
- 35:34Speaker 1: going up against somebody from you know, who knows, from
- 35:38Speaker 1: Oklahoma State or whatever, Tulsa, that, yeah, it's not the
- 35:42Speaker 1: same as going out here and going up against Michael
- 35:44Speaker 1: Parsons or Tank and then of course Miles Garrett. So
- 35:48Speaker 1: that's exactly.
- 35:49Speaker 10: But I think the reps are very important for him.
- 35:52Speaker 10: I don't think he's gotten a whole lot of reps
- 35:54Speaker 10: because of his illness he had. I was actually very
- 35:57Speaker 10: concerned about the amount of reps he was getting. But
- 36:01Speaker 10: I think Tom will get better. I'm not someone who
- 36:03Speaker 10: enjoys Dog and Cowboys players. I really don't believe in that,
- 36:06Speaker 10: and I really disliked one fan do that. I just
- 36:08Speaker 10: think people need to slow down their expectations a little bit,
- 36:12Speaker 10: because if you're expecting a Tyron Smith to come in
- 36:14Speaker 10: and start week one, that's not what you're gonna get.
- 36:17Speaker 1: You know what, I'm saying, well, and and let's be fair,
- 36:19Speaker 1: Tyron Smith was not was not that great early on.
- 36:22Speaker 1: I mean he was, he was a good solid player,
- 36:24Speaker 1: but DeMarcus Ware had had plenty of times here at
- 36:27Speaker 1: practice where he you know, he got the best of him.
- 36:29Speaker 1: So but you're right though, Yeah, I think he's gonna
- 36:32Speaker 1: be fine. And and and I know this, Micah Parsons
- 36:35Speaker 1: hasn't hasn't gone past them every time. You know, Michaeh
- 36:38Speaker 1: Parsons has some problems with with his length, and I
- 36:41Speaker 1: think that's agree they drafted him. So he's gonna be
- 36:44Speaker 1: I think I.
- 36:45Speaker 10: Think he's really good with speed rushes, and I think
- 36:48Speaker 10: that's a strength of his. But I'm concerned with him
- 36:50Speaker 10: going against power. But we'll see how that goes later
- 36:54Speaker 10: in the season. Now, as far as Mazi goes, my
- 36:57Speaker 10: all and concerned with him is, I don't. I'm starting
- 37:00Speaker 10: to think that maybe he might not ever reach that
- 37:03Speaker 10: first round pick expectation. I feel like he's in a
- 37:08Speaker 10: position to replace the person who left in Hankins, but
- 37:12Speaker 10: I'm not sure if he'll ever be that combo run stopper,
- 37:16Speaker 10: pass rusher threat the Cowboys thought he might be when
- 37:18Speaker 10: they drafted him, but Tom will.
- 37:20Speaker 7: Tell that as well.
- 37:21Speaker 10: Like I said, I don't believe in dogging the players
- 37:23Speaker 10: in any way. I just think as long as he
- 37:25Speaker 10: do his job, that's really what we need as far
- 37:29Speaker 10: as just clogging up the middle there. But I'm not
- 37:31Speaker 10: sure that he'll ever reach that expectation. And the only
- 37:34Speaker 10: other thing I had a comment about with Trey Lance.
- 37:37Speaker 10: I'm sure you've already covered this in the show, but
- 37:40Speaker 10: I feel like he needs a little bit of grace
- 37:43Speaker 10: from the fans given the fact that he doesn't have
- 37:46Speaker 10: that much experience. But I also don't understand why the
- 37:50Speaker 10: Cowboys would use a fourth rounder on him, knowing his experience,
- 37:55Speaker 10: if you're not willing to develop him over Tom. So
- 37:59Speaker 10: I want, I really want to whether they're gonna sign
- 38:01Speaker 10: him or not in the off season, because I feel
- 38:03Speaker 10: like even after this preseason, he's obviously gonna have a
- 38:07Speaker 10: long way to go, whether he performs well or not.
- 38:10Speaker 10: So I'm totally unsure as to what the Cowboys playing
- 38:13Speaker 10: is on that.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Well, he's got two games to show it. I mean
- 38:18Speaker 1: that's what it is. I mean, yeah, he doesn't have
- 38:20Speaker 1: a lot of time, but I mean he's got two games,
- 38:22Speaker 1: and so I think we're gonna learn, we're gonna know
- 38:24Speaker 1: a lot more about where they want to go to
- 38:27Speaker 1: develop them. But let's just say this too, what about
- 38:29Speaker 1: Junior Fujoko his fourth round pick too, not a quarterback,
- 38:34Speaker 1: but I mean another fourth round pick that hasn't really
- 38:36Speaker 1: shown anything yet. That's that kind of that's where the draft.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Galvin, appreciate that first time, Calor.
- 38:42Speaker 1: You gotta remember fourth round is where it's right in
- 38:45Speaker 1: the middle of the draft. That's where things kind of change.
- 38:48Speaker 1: It's like, are are you going with development? Are you
- 38:50Speaker 1: going with it's this guy gonna be a start? Nothing's
- 38:53Speaker 1: a given really when you're talking about in the fourth round.
- 38:56Speaker 1: And that's why that's a pick that you're okay of
- 38:58Speaker 1: trading just to see what happens if if it doesn't work,
- 39:00Speaker 1: it doesn't work, it doesn't look like it's working with
- 39:02Speaker 1: Fojoco right now. So's that's the thing that we're you know,
- 39:06Speaker 1: where we are with train Lance. I think he's you know,
- 39:10Speaker 1: he's I don't know how he's gonna do, but I
- 39:12Speaker 1: know in the next two weeks we're gonna we're gonna
- 39:14Speaker 1: know a lot more about where he is in his development.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Here all right, I think we're gonna take a break
- 39:20Speaker 1: here on a Cowboys storyline. Be right back here for
- 39:23Speaker 1: we'll finish off the show.

- 40:45Speaker 1: Let's go out to Maurice in Tacoma, Washington. What's up man, Hey, Nick?
- 40:50Speaker 15: How you doing?
- 40:50Speaker 1: B I'm good man? How you doing?
- 40:53Speaker 15: Not too bad?
- 40:53Speaker 1: Man?
- 40:54Speaker 2: Uh?
- 40:54Speaker 15: My question is a little bit of a concern, and
- 40:56Speaker 15: I was wondering what you think is what would you
- 40:58Speaker 15: great McCarthy? I was a little concerned. I loved the
- 41:01Speaker 15: running game. It looked really good when we were running
- 41:04Speaker 15: the ball. McCarthy does it really well between the thirty five,
- 41:07Speaker 15: But it seems like once we get inside the thirty
- 41:09Speaker 15: five yard Laurie, he tends to shy away from the
- 41:11Speaker 15: running game. I really would have liked to see him
- 41:14Speaker 15: run the ball on that fourth round rather than take
- 41:16Speaker 15: that fade route. Just wondering what you think about the
- 41:19Speaker 15: play calling for the first preseason game.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Yeah you have another question?
- 41:24Speaker 15: No, that's it, thanks, but I'll hang up the list.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Appreciate that. I always love those calls. All right, Maurice,
- 41:32Speaker 1: it's a mailback question that we're posting right now, and
- 41:34Speaker 1: I tweeted about it too, so I can't be hypocritical
- 41:37Speaker 1: about it. I didn't like the call. I didn't like
- 41:39Speaker 1: it at all. Like I understand, whoever want to see
- 41:44Speaker 1: Trey Lance Kenny throw the ball into the end zone.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Kenny Kenny make a play, But he's your third quarterback.
- 41:50Speaker 1: If he plays really well, he's going to be your
- 41:53Speaker 1: third quarterback. Brock Hoffman is your starting center. Tyler geiton
- 41:57Speaker 1: Now is going to be your starting left tackle, Bass
- 42:02Speaker 1: Awesome Richards. I'm trying to think who else who else
- 42:04Speaker 1: was in there, but you know, I want to see
- 42:06Speaker 1: those two of those guys are going to start. Do
- 42:08Speaker 1: we know if they can actually push people off the
- 42:11Speaker 1: ball and get the ball into the end zone? I mean,
- 42:13Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure I would have liked to
- 42:15Speaker 1: seeing that. That's what I think is better development there.
- 42:18Speaker 1: If he goes and catches that pad, if Cropper catches
- 42:20Speaker 1: it in the corner, do we know any more about Awesome?
- 42:23Speaker 1: I mean about Brock Kaufman and Tyler Guyden, not really.
- 42:27Speaker 1: I want to be able to see that, and if
- 42:29Speaker 1: you do run the ball, push them back. Rico gets
- 42:32Speaker 1: some yards or Malik Davis or whatever and they score
- 42:35Speaker 1: a touchdown. You know what, that still helps Trey Lance.
- 42:38Speaker 1: He comes off the field, he got his team into
- 42:40Speaker 1: the end zone. He had a nice run to get there.
- 42:43Speaker 1: But I think from a confidence standpoint, that would also
- 42:46Speaker 1: be a good thing. But the jury is out on
- 42:49Speaker 1: a lot of things, but one of them is can
- 42:51Speaker 1: they run the ball inside the ten yard line when
- 42:53Speaker 1: everyone knows you you need to run it and where
- 42:56Speaker 1: it's you know, the deck is stacked. Can you push
- 42:59Speaker 1: them back? That's that's what I want to see brock
- 43:00Speaker 1: Hoffman do. That's what I want to see if Tyler
- 43:03Speaker 1: Goydon can do against the run. I want to see
- 43:04Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So you can't develop everything and
- 43:08Speaker 1: that you know, and that past was there. It's not
- 43:10Speaker 1: like it wasn't a good call. I mean, Cropper got open,
- 43:14Speaker 1: he should have hit him. But I still think that
- 43:18Speaker 1: I would have liked to have learned a little bit
- 43:20Speaker 1: more about the run game. And I thought that was
- 43:21Speaker 1: good experience, a good a good chance to do that,
- 43:24Speaker 1: but it didn't didn't work out all right? Rob in Vegas,
- 43:27Speaker 1: what's up? You're gonna close it out. Rob, what's up?
- 43:30Speaker 5: Hey?
- 43:30Speaker 14: Nick?
- 43:31Speaker 1: What's up?
- 43:31Speaker 14: Man?
- 43:32Speaker 5: Congratulations on your quarter century of working with the Cowboys.
- 43:36Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you so so much older, so much longer.
- 43:39Speaker 5: When you say quarter.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely does. It definitely does. It's it's it's
- 43:43Speaker 1: crazy to think that I've I've I've worked for the
- 43:46Speaker 1: Cowboys twenty five years and I've not worked for the
- 43:49Speaker 1: Cowboys twenty three years.
- 43:50Speaker 5: Got another twenty five to go.
- 43:52Speaker 3: You know what.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said that to me, He said, let's do
- 43:55Speaker 1: another twenty five.
- 43:56Speaker 5: It was okay, let's do it.
- 43:58Speaker 1: You know what, he probably will, He probably will. I
- 44:01Speaker 1: hope I can be there with him.
- 44:04Speaker 5: Right, you know what, Rob, two and a half hours,
- 44:14Speaker 5: they'll they'll go forever. But it was so much fun
- 44:16Speaker 5: listening to guys and talking to people.
- 44:20Speaker 9: Uh.
- 44:20Speaker 5: Yes, the trade lance thing got heated only because I
- 44:25Speaker 5: never liked the trade. I I didn't think giving up
- 44:28Speaker 5: a fourth round pick for a guy technically you never
- 44:31Speaker 5: want to see play is a good move considering, you know,
- 44:36Speaker 5: Dak is in his prime and Cooper Rush is a
- 44:39Speaker 5: proven winner when he comes in, so he's a really
- 44:42Speaker 5: good backup. But you never want to see either one
- 44:43Speaker 5: of those you know guys. And I think what Travis
- 44:47Speaker 5: was saying is, well, we're going to give him two games.
- 44:51Speaker 5: And I said, well, what is two games going to do.
- 44:53Speaker 5: It's it's pre season, and I agree with you. I
- 44:55Speaker 5: thought he was going to play better because guy's been
- 44:57Speaker 5: in the league and you figured, you know, this is preseason.
- 45:01Speaker 5: I thought I thought he'd be.
- 45:02Speaker 10: More impressive and he wasn't.
- 45:04Speaker 5: And I said, well, if you give it him two games,
- 45:06Speaker 5: then what's the decision. He said, well, if Dak leaves,
- 45:12Speaker 5: they can make Lance the starter. So I said, you're
- 45:14Speaker 5: going to pay a guy after two years to beat
- 45:16Speaker 5: the starting quarter up? What's that going to cost? Thirty
- 45:18Speaker 5: million dollars?
- 45:19Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 45:20Speaker 5: I said, are you willing to write a check to
- 45:21Speaker 5: Trey Lance for thirty million dollars? I said no way.
- 45:25Speaker 5: I said, I'd rather pay Dak sixty than Trey Lance thirty.
- 45:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 45:30Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's that's really what And Dylan said it
- 45:37Speaker 5: he has no time to develop. That they should have
- 45:39Speaker 5: did this, you know, like Jordan Love, Jordan Love sad
- 45:42Speaker 5: Tony Romo sat and then they developed and then he
- 45:45Speaker 5: gave him a shot. The Cowboys don't have no time
- 45:48Speaker 5: to develop him. I thought the game, I thought the
- 45:51Speaker 5: game was you know, it was preseason. I mean you
- 45:54Speaker 5: saw what they were doing. They were totally auditioning Trey Lance.
- 45:58Speaker 5: Probably for the teams too. Face it, they're hoping that
- 46:01Speaker 5: he plays good. You know, somebody gets hurt and maybe
- 46:05Speaker 5: they can get their fourth round pick or better back,
- 46:08Speaker 5: you know, if anything, because he's going to be an
- 46:10Speaker 5: active right during the year. So but I thought, you know,
- 46:17Speaker 5: I thought the defense looked good. I thought, like everybody said,
- 46:20Speaker 5: Mazzi you notice them said, that's an improvement right there.
- 46:24Speaker 5: I thought getting the picks, you know, still showed these
- 46:28Speaker 5: guys just they just got great hands. All of them
- 46:30Speaker 5: got great hands. I thought Marky Spell played really good.
- 46:33Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he looked back in his natural position. And
- 46:37Speaker 5: I think Tyler Goyiton looks great. What's he doesn't. I
- 46:41Speaker 5: can't believe he's as big as he is because he
- 46:43Speaker 5: doesn't look it when you see him. He looks like
- 46:46Speaker 5: a thin, thin man, but he's like three hundred and
- 46:49Speaker 5: thirty pounds. Yeah, and he's athletics. So yeah, still be
- 46:53Speaker 5: growing pains. But the one thing I like about him
- 46:55Speaker 5: is when a joga gets a beat, he can't recover.
- 46:59Speaker 5: You saw Dighton when he got beat a little bit.
- 47:01Speaker 5: He was athletic enough to recover. And they could have
- 47:05Speaker 5: a really good, great left side of that line for
- 47:09Speaker 5: so many years to come. That that's exciting. And uh,
- 47:13Speaker 5: listen pre season. We've got another one Saturday night in Vegas,
- 47:17Speaker 5: and I we'll see what happens.
