- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:05Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Cowboys Storyline. Friday, November fifteenth, Friday,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Yes it is, even though it doesn't feel like a
- 0:35Speaker 1: Friday all the time, especially over here at the other
- 0:38Speaker 1: side of the building where they're going to try to
- 0:39Speaker 1: tell you it's a Thursday, but definitely feels like a Friday.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Here.
- 0:43Speaker 1: We've been talking all week long getting ready for Cowboys
- 0:45Speaker 1: text and still not done because they play Monday nights.
- 0:48Speaker 1: But this will be our last show before then, so
- 0:51Speaker 1: let's hear about it. Eight eight eight eight fi five
- 0:54Speaker 1: two two nine seven is the number to call. I
- 0:58Speaker 1: could go down the injury report, but then I'd have
- 1:01Speaker 1: to take a break because the Cowboys have eighteen players
- 1:04Speaker 1: on the injury report. Some of them are rest type guys,
- 1:09Speaker 1: but we'll see today just who always is on there.
- 1:12Speaker 1: And as we get a little bit closer than if
- 1:15Speaker 1: they're starting to rule out some players, they'll do that
- 1:17Speaker 1: tomorrow if they want to. If there are some players
- 1:20Speaker 1: definitely not going to play, I would imagine darn Bland
- 1:23Speaker 1: continues to be on that list. He doesn't look like
- 1:25Speaker 1: he's ready to play, and Dak Prescott will still be
- 1:28Speaker 1: on that list because they haven't put him on IR
- 1:30Speaker 1: just yet. Other than that, hopefully the Cowboys can get
- 1:33Speaker 1: some other guys back and a couple of injury players
- 1:38Speaker 1: to watch. I would I would look at Jake Ferguson
- 1:41Speaker 1: and he of course he's he's been sick. But Jake Ferguson,
- 1:47Speaker 1: Hunter Lipke, Jordan Lewis, those guys right there kind of
- 1:50Speaker 1: popped up on the reports. See if they'll be ready
- 1:52Speaker 1: to go. All right, let's go to the phone lines.
- 1:55Speaker 1: We'll start off in Connecticut. Pete in Connecticut. What's up?
- 2:00Speaker 5: How are you good?
- 2:01Speaker 1: How are you good?
- 2:03Speaker 6: Just a couple of quick questions. First one is with
- 2:06Speaker 6: the season being at where it is, when are they
- 2:09Speaker 6: going to let Aubrey go for that record breaking field goal?
- 2:12Speaker 6: And my second question was just a hypothetical. If the
- 2:16Speaker 6: two thousand and seven Dallas Cowboys were to play the
- 2:19Speaker 6: twenty fourteen Dallas Cowboys in a playoff game, who do
- 2:22Speaker 6: you think would win?
- 2:23Speaker 1: Who do you think who do you think would win?
- 2:25Speaker 5: Oh?
- 2:26Speaker 6: Twenty fourteen DeMarco murray Man he was a beast. I
- 2:30Speaker 6: think he would just run all over that defense.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Win is the game being played early in the season
- 2:36Speaker 1: or late in the season.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Because playoff game.
- 2:39Speaker 6: They both choked in the playoffs.
- 2:41Speaker 1: M interesting.
- 2:43Speaker 6: I personally would do twenty fourteen and then.
- 2:47Speaker 1: If healthy, I'll take I'll take O seven. They were
- 2:51Speaker 1: pretty all right. They were pretty good with Teo, but
- 2:53Speaker 1: when he got hurt and that changed a lot of
- 2:56Speaker 1: what they were trying to do. But yeah, two thousand
- 2:59Speaker 1: and seven with Terarowen and not just him, but he
- 3:03Speaker 1: was he was obviously one of the thirteen Pro Bowlers
- 3:06Speaker 1: that they had there. You had a better Romo in
- 3:09Speaker 1: fourteen because he was older and he's played more and
- 3:13Speaker 1: he kind of figured some things out their offensive line.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Probably a little bit better than fourteen, but still good.
- 3:19Speaker 1: He's still three Pro Bowlers either way.
- 3:21Speaker 6: It was a big Rowando McClain guy.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Too, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he had definitely I don't know, no,
- 3:29Speaker 1: I'd probably go with those seven. And I think the players,
- 3:32Speaker 1: the players, well not a lot of players on both teams,
- 3:35Speaker 1: but I'm just saying the players really thought that seventeen
- 3:38Speaker 1: was something special, and it was. But can't go wrong
- 3:41Speaker 1: I'll take either one of them over this team right now.
- 3:45Speaker 6: All right, And then do you think Aubrey's going to
- 3:47Speaker 6: go for the record this week?
- 3:48Speaker 5: That was my last question.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't think it's going for a record.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Pete. I think it's just if
- 3:56Speaker 1: if it has to work out where it's before the
- 3:59Speaker 1: half and all that where or at the end of
- 4:01Speaker 1: the game or something where you're like, all right, this
- 4:04Speaker 1: makes sense to kick a sixty six yard field goal
- 4:08Speaker 1: or sixty seven I guess would be the record, you know,
- 4:14Speaker 1: I mean, if the ball's at midfield, just right at
- 4:17Speaker 1: the fifty, that's a sixty eight yard field goal because
- 4:20Speaker 1: they typically now go eighteen yards back, so especially on
- 4:24Speaker 1: long field goals like that, so sixty eight yards. So
- 4:29Speaker 1: I mean, but then if you if you miss it,
- 4:32Speaker 1: you know, the ball sitting there at the what forty
- 4:35Speaker 1: forty two yard line, like you're you're basically in the
- 4:39Speaker 1: sixty yard field goal arrange if you miss right then
- 4:42Speaker 1: and there. So the circumstances have to be right for
- 4:44Speaker 1: that to happen. All right, Let's go to Irene Falls Church, Virginia.
- 4:49Speaker 5: Hey, next, how are you doing? Are you all right?
- 4:52Speaker 7: Apparently I'm, according to camera, a fairy sprinkilling opium. So
- 4:57Speaker 7: I guess you didn't hear last Friday's call where Mike
- 4:59Speaker 7: Lumbow Green that I hit my head after predicting thirty
- 5:03Speaker 7: one to thirteen loss to the Eagles. I told him
- 5:05Speaker 7: I must have hit my head, you know, thinking they
- 5:08Speaker 7: could score a touchdown.
- 5:09Speaker 5: But oh well yeah.
- 5:11Speaker 7: So to address kind of what's going on with the
- 5:13Speaker 7: fan base right now, take it from a psychological perspective.
- 5:17Speaker 7: I think we're approaching the same reality in different ways.
- 5:20Speaker 7: So people want to believe we can turn around make
- 5:22Speaker 7: a run. They're just fighting off the pain of losing.
- 5:27Speaker 7: And but some are the people thinking about getting the
- 5:29Speaker 7: best draft picks, and that includes me. Don't protecting myself.
- 5:33Speaker 7: It's so much easier to watch the season and be like.
- 5:35Speaker 5: Okay, well, at least if we lose.
- 5:37Speaker 7: We can have a top five picks, maybe number one.
- 5:40Speaker 7: It's much easier to do that than watch and hope
- 5:42Speaker 7: and be like, okay, we can't score a touchdown. So
- 5:46Speaker 7: you know, we're not trying to abandon the team. It's
- 5:48Speaker 7: just all we're doing is protecting ourselves from the pain
- 5:52Speaker 7: for this game. I see Cooper Rush has been a
- 5:56Speaker 7: full participant, so I'm assuming that the next train is
- 5:59Speaker 7: feeling better. I do see a closer game. I know
- 6:02Speaker 7: that it looks like Stroud popped up, but they might
- 6:05Speaker 7: be gaining Eco Collins back. I think the defense is
- 6:09Speaker 7: playing all right on our side, like another Micah and
- 6:13Speaker 7: overshow are amazing. It's crazy that like, if we get
- 6:16Speaker 7: any anything from our offense, it's probably not thirty four
- 6:19Speaker 7: to anything. But so I see something closer. I still
- 6:23Speaker 7: don't think we have enough. So I'm going to say
- 6:26Speaker 7: like twenty seven to seventeen Texans, but you know, we'll see.
- 6:29Speaker 7: And then one other thing. So I actually met one
- 6:32Speaker 7: of our storyliners who he comes on the spaces. I
- 6:36Speaker 7: guess he can't call in. His name is Debry. We
- 6:38Speaker 7: actually met in person because he looks around here. And
- 6:41Speaker 7: so you know, the community is awesome, so all especially
- 6:44Speaker 7: our new people. Gavin Lester, all you guys.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yeah, calm join us.
- 6:47Speaker 7: We'll we'll be there even when the wheels are off.
- 6:51Speaker 7: So all right, thanks, all right, go.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Ahead, all right, I appreciate the call. Irene is one
- 6:56Speaker 1: of the people with Dylan who does the community the Spaces.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I don't even know what to call it. It's the
- 7:04Speaker 1: storyline community on Twitter. It's got like eight names. But
- 7:08Speaker 1: I actually try to get on it the other night,
- 7:11Speaker 1: and I was they had seems like there was some
- 7:13Speaker 1: kind of technical difficulties or whatever. I was on it
- 7:15Speaker 1: for like five seconds and then it's like, all right,
- 7:17Speaker 1: that's it. So well, maybe it was already over at
- 7:20Speaker 1: that point. But because technology isn't always my best friend,
- 7:25Speaker 1: so maybe I did it wrong, but I thought I
- 7:26Speaker 1: was on there for a second. Either way. That Irene's
- 7:30Speaker 1: talking about some of the people that don't get to
- 7:32Speaker 1: call in shows, they have a pretty long conversations over
- 7:36Speaker 1: there at the Twitter community storyline community over there. All right,
- 7:42Speaker 1: I understand what you were saying about about Yeah, you
- 7:45Speaker 1: just protect yourself, and it's all about expectations. Your expectations
- 7:48Speaker 1: are not the same. Doesn't mean you don't want them
- 7:50Speaker 1: to win or play well. I guess some people may
- 7:55Speaker 1: say I don't want them to win, but that might
- 7:58Speaker 1: just be hey, i'm checking out. I'm not going to
- 8:00Speaker 1: watch the game. I think if you're a diehard Cowboy fan,
- 8:02Speaker 1: you're watching the game, especially against like a division rival
- 8:06Speaker 1: or some kind of rival, or a team that that
- 8:09Speaker 1: you know, is in the same state that thinks their
- 8:11Speaker 1: arrival like something like that. Like, yeah, I think you're
- 8:13Speaker 1: you're certainly gonna gonna say, all right, let's win this game.
- 8:17Speaker 1: We'll deal about the draft picks later. All right, let's
- 8:20Speaker 1: go to Brian in Kansas City.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Good morning, sir, How are you hey doing great? Man?
- 8:27Speaker 4: Doing great? Yeah?
- 8:29Speaker 8: You know this is I've been listening to the shows
- 8:32Speaker 8: this week and such, and I kind of agree with
- 8:36Speaker 8: with what I've been hearing with. You know, hey, I
- 8:38Speaker 8: want to we want to see some of the young
- 8:40Speaker 8: guys play. You know, we're right now, we don't have
- 8:44Speaker 8: the best team on the planet, and since losing Dak,
- 8:47Speaker 8: you know, we especially we we just were not as
- 8:52Speaker 8: talented as we were last year. No, but we can
- 8:56Speaker 8: we can.
- 8:56Speaker 9: See and and I'm like you, I'm going to watch
- 8:59Speaker 9: every game.
- 9:00Speaker 8: I don't care if they're you know, in nineteen eighty nine,
- 9:03Speaker 8: I was watching.
- 9:04Speaker 9: The Red Skins game, you know, yeah, because there was
- 9:08Speaker 9: a chance, you know, there was a chance.
- 9:11Speaker 8: And I'm glad to see that there are that we
- 9:15Speaker 8: are giving some people a chance, you.
- 9:17Speaker 9: Know, even if it's you know, this guy is filling in.
- 9:20Speaker 9: I did think like a lot of people have mentioned
- 9:22Speaker 9: this week that Austin Richards played played pretty well last week.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he played well because you didn't really
- 9:30Speaker 1: hear about him, which is good. That's that's certainly a
- 9:32Speaker 1: good thing because you know, that's not always the case
- 9:35Speaker 1: with the offensive lineman. So yeah, you don't even hear
- 9:37Speaker 1: about the left tackle. He's doing his job.
- 9:40Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's and that was kind of a surprise
- 9:42Speaker 8: because it's taken him. You know, when I was listening
- 9:45Speaker 8: to the draft show for you know, two years ago,
- 9:48Speaker 8: when they were talking about him, I was kind of
- 9:50Speaker 8: surprised that it's taken him so long to.
- 9:53Speaker 9: Get a chance, you know that as a backup player,
- 9:56Speaker 9: swing tackle whatever. You know, they kept going with a dope,
- 10:00Speaker 9: and so it was really nice to see that, hey,
- 10:02Speaker 9: this is finally panned out. This is something where hey,
- 10:05Speaker 9: this guy's got a chance to be something next year,
- 10:09Speaker 9: whatever it is that you know, maybe he'd be a
- 10:11Speaker 9: right tackle, maybe he'll be the swing guy. But you know,
- 10:17Speaker 9: and some of the other people are you know, other
- 10:19Speaker 9: people have mentioned it to maybe see a little old
- 10:22Speaker 9: Ryan Illinois, you know, just just get just get to
- 10:26Speaker 9: see something. And I just love, you know, somebody said it.
- 10:30Speaker 9: I think it was yesterday's show. You spend the whole
- 10:34Speaker 9: off season waiting for these seventeen games, you know, and
- 10:39Speaker 9: these are important and I'm glad to see glad to
- 10:42Speaker 9: see him even when we're not competitive.
- 10:44Speaker 4: I just want to see the boys and watch him play.
- 10:47Speaker 9: And I might get aggravated, you know, like I like
- 10:50Speaker 9: I was telling you in the in the off season
- 10:53Speaker 9: that Schoonmaker got drafted and I broke my remote because
- 10:56Speaker 9: they didn't draft Osirus Torrence and I'm like, I'm okay, I'm.
- 11:00Speaker 4: You know, I'm going to be mad sometimes, but i
- 11:03Speaker 4: still want to see him. Yeah, So I'm just glad.
- 11:07Speaker 8: To hear here, hear that this week, and really glad
- 11:10Speaker 8: to see Austin Richards.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Has done well. Maybe you couldn't come up with somebody.
- 11:14Speaker 9: Else that you'd like to see, you know, somebody.
- 11:18Speaker 8: We've been waiting to see pan out and say, hey,
- 11:20Speaker 8: maybe this guy gets a chance.
- 11:22Speaker 4: And then I thought, I don't think i've.
- 11:24Speaker 9: Done this one before, so you'll probably remember better than
- 11:27Speaker 9: I do.
- 11:27Speaker 8: But as an old time cowboy, maybe you got a
- 11:30Speaker 8: story on Patrick Creighton and I'll hang up my friends,
- 11:34Speaker 8: all right.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Thanks. Well, we talked about the seven team and how
- 11:41Speaker 1: that could have been a great team. So it's hard
- 11:44Speaker 1: to mention that and without talking about Patrick Crayton, of
- 11:47Speaker 1: course a couple of moments there, but I'm sure he
- 11:49Speaker 1: would like to have back one of the more sure,
- 11:53Speaker 1: sure handed players that they've ever had. So it was
- 11:55Speaker 1: ironic there that he had a couple of or at
- 11:58Speaker 1: least one drop and then another play where he didn't
- 12:00Speaker 1: come up with the ball. But Patrick Crayton was an
- 12:02Speaker 1: interesting story all the way around, just with the way
- 12:05Speaker 1: that they drafted him. You know there it was like
- 12:08Speaker 1: somebody in the in the scouting department's pet cat and
- 12:11Speaker 1: was like, hey, I've heard about this guy does everything
- 12:13Speaker 1: at the small school in Oklahoma. He's every punt return,
- 12:16Speaker 1: took return, wide receiver, quarterback. I could do it a
- 12:19Speaker 1: little bit of everything and and and you know, Parcels
- 12:23Speaker 1: liked him, and uh he was he was pretty good.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Uh you know, he never was the fastest guy, but
- 12:28Speaker 1: but he just kind of worked his way into it.
- 12:30Speaker 1: But the my favorite story I'll just say real quick
- 12:33Speaker 1: about Patrick Crayton was was the game that he was
- 12:37Speaker 1: basically demoted twice in one week, wide receiver and punt returner.
- 12:41Speaker 1: They got a new punt returner, and they also just
- 12:44Speaker 1: demote promoted Miles Austin because of the game he had
- 12:47Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. So in one week he loses his
- 12:50Speaker 1: starting job as a wide receiver and his starting punt
- 12:52Speaker 1: return position and I wasn't happy about it. And long
- 12:57Speaker 1: story short, the very next game, punt return her named
- 13:00Speaker 1: Alan Rosson gets hurt right off the bat. That doesn't
- 13:02Speaker 1: ever play again for the Cowboys, and Patrick Crayton scores
- 13:05Speaker 1: two touchdowns in that game, one is a punt returner,
- 13:08Speaker 1: one as a receiver. So got demoted twice, the double
- 13:11Speaker 1: demotion and still comes back and scores a touch two touchdowns.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Uh in that game. That's one of my favorite Patrick
- 13:17Speaker 1: Creighton stories. A player that I would like to see, well,
- 13:21Speaker 1: I have. I'm the one person that said, hey, let's
- 13:25Speaker 1: chill out on the on the Mingo trade. You know,
- 13:27Speaker 1: let's let's see what happens before we just say, oh,
- 13:30Speaker 1: it's the worst move of all time. Let's just see.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I mean, so that's got to be my guy. I
- 13:36Speaker 1: gotta see if I want to see Mingo do something,
- 13:40Speaker 1: And that's all it really takes. He just needs to
- 13:43Speaker 1: show some kind of potential here in this in these
- 13:46Speaker 1: last half of the season, because then you know, you
- 13:50Speaker 1: want to be able to have like a leg up
- 13:53Speaker 1: than anybody you would have drafted at that time. If
- 13:55Speaker 1: he doesn't play, doesn't do a lot, not a non factor,
- 13:59Speaker 1: then it's basically going to be the same as getting
- 14:02Speaker 1: some new rookie in there that has a clean slate,
- 14:04Speaker 1: because jonath Mingo does not have a clean Slady comes
- 14:08Speaker 1: in here and everyone's already kind of expect calling him
- 14:10Speaker 1: a bus So he's going to have to prove that
- 14:13Speaker 1: where most rookies get the benefit of the doubt for
- 14:15Speaker 1: a little bit, all right, Eight eight eight eight five
- 14:20Speaker 1: five two two nine seven is the number to call.
- 14:23Speaker 1: I think we've got some open lines right now, unless
- 14:26Speaker 1: Chris is telling me something different. Chris, we have anybody
- 14:29Speaker 1: on the line right now?
- 14:30Speaker 10: Yes, I have Leicester in Minnesota.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Leicester in Minnesota.
- 14:35Speaker 4: What's up?
- 14:35Speaker 2: Hey?
- 14:36Speaker 11: How you doing that good?
- 14:38Speaker 4: Hey?
- 14:38Speaker 5: You know what I gave you?
- 14:40Speaker 1: Hey? I got something for yall. I thought about this
- 14:42Speaker 1: the other day. I'll see what you think. You think
- 14:46Speaker 1: the Cowboys would be better if they had an offensive
- 14:49Speaker 1: and a defensive line that was good At the same time,
- 14:54Speaker 1: I just thought of that. I thought, yeah, I'm going
- 14:56Speaker 1: to throw that out to one of the callers. I'll
- 14:58Speaker 1: just picked. I picked you. What do you think offensive
- 15:01Speaker 1: defensive line.
- 15:03Speaker 11: At the same time at the.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Same time love it? What kind of practice you'd have
- 15:08Speaker 1: a really good practice? I mean, and that's we're joking,
- 15:11Speaker 1: but it's serious, if you would have really good practices
- 15:14Speaker 1: if that was the case, because I mean, I've heard
- 15:17Speaker 1: the old nineties team say that they got better just
- 15:20Speaker 1: by going up against the offensive line and vice versa.
- 15:24Speaker 1: So that's where you're that's where where you were going
- 15:27Speaker 1: to really see a difference there if you had if
- 15:29Speaker 1: you had your offense, because where they say iron sharpens iron,
- 15:32Speaker 1: I mean, they would be that that type of thing.
- 15:34Speaker 1: So what's up man?
- 15:35Speaker 11: You got hey? I know, I gave you my lineup
- 15:41Speaker 11: that I would have decided at training camp, but it
- 15:44Speaker 11: was based on what the Cowboys had said they wanted
- 15:47Speaker 11: to do. But my true line my true line up
- 15:50Speaker 11: would have been at training camp. Of course, Austin Rich
- 15:54Speaker 11: is a right tackle, the president at right guard BB
- 16:02Speaker 11: and I would have put the still left guard still
- 16:07Speaker 11: and kicked out Tyron Smith over there. That would have
- 16:10Speaker 11: been my line but I put the rookie in there
- 16:13Speaker 11: because that's what the Cowboys wanted to do. And still,
- 16:17Speaker 11: you know, give them what they wanted. But I would
- 16:19Speaker 11: have done it like that. Really, And I heard someone
- 16:24Speaker 11: mentioned my name earlier. Thank you guys for listening. I
- 16:29Speaker 11: been a Cowboys for instance of nineteen seventy seven, so
- 16:33Speaker 11: I'm here with us.
- 16:34Speaker 5: I'm riding.
- 16:34Speaker 11: I was there and then one in fifteen season, all
- 16:37Speaker 11: the way through, Go Cowboys. I'd just seen them win
- 16:40Speaker 11: four Super Bowl. Go Cowboys, all right? And the score
- 16:44Speaker 11: this week, oh be Cowboys twenty four, Texans twenty one.
- 16:51Speaker 1: All right, all right, thanks Lester. You know all this awesome,
- 16:55Speaker 1: Richard Stok. I'll say this, the people that were high
- 16:59Speaker 1: on him, they did not watch the practice against the
- 17:03Speaker 1: Rams back in training camp, because there was at least
- 17:10Speaker 1: one play where you would not have been high on
- 17:13Speaker 1: awesome Richard. I mean, I'm sorry now. They they the
- 17:17Speaker 1: Rams drafted I don't know his first name, his last
- 17:20Speaker 1: name is Verse in the first round pick. I think
- 17:24Speaker 1: from Florida State, and he did Jared Verse. Thank you,
- 17:28Speaker 1: big Chris. Do you remember this this practice? Do you
- 17:32Speaker 1: remember this play that I'm referring to?
- 17:34Speaker 10: Yes, he tossed him. He was on five yards.
- 17:38Speaker 1: He finished on his back.
- 17:39Speaker 10: It was like five years.
- 17:40Speaker 1: It was a one on one drill and Verse pushed
- 17:42Speaker 1: him forward and fishing backwards backwards, and then he went
- 17:45Speaker 1: down and then pointed at him.
- 17:47Speaker 10: It was pretty bad, like he was pointing and laughing
- 17:51Speaker 10: as he went.
- 17:53Speaker 1: So then like like the good part of the story
- 17:58Speaker 1: was that he he was basically calling out Tyler Geydon.
- 18:03Speaker 1: So he was like, let's go, you know, same draft class.
- 18:07Speaker 1: I'm sure they know each other. Whatever, And it didn't go.
- 18:10Speaker 1: It didn't go the same way for Jared Verse the
- 18:12Speaker 1: next time around, because actually they like two or three
- 18:15Speaker 1: times in a row easily, not easily, but but I
- 18:20Speaker 1: mean Geydon won won the battle. He put he put
- 18:22Speaker 1: him straight in the in the ground at one point
- 18:25Speaker 1: and then just wheeled him off on another one where
- 18:27Speaker 1: he was way out of the play. Uh, pushed him
- 18:29Speaker 1: over to like Santa Barbara for a little bit and
- 18:32Speaker 1: then and and then you know, they then they kind
- 18:34Speaker 1: of were doing some jawing and all that. That was
- 18:36Speaker 1: a good moment for me for for guiding. It was like,
- 18:38Speaker 1: all right, this guy's got got something as well. Not
- 18:40Speaker 1: a great moment for Austin Richards. If I do recall though,
- 18:44Speaker 1: they came back again and and practiced later and then
- 18:47Speaker 1: and then two year training camp that we had that
- 18:51Speaker 1: we were there, Uh, and I think he fared better
- 18:53Speaker 1: and he's he's done better and better here and and
- 18:56Speaker 1: you know, in the times we've seen him in the games,
- 18:58Speaker 1: he's he's done his job. But all I'm saying is
- 19:01Speaker 1: is when people say, why, what did he getting a chance?
- 19:04Speaker 1: He had some moments in his rookie year and of
- 19:06Speaker 1: course even in his second year where he was still
- 19:09Speaker 1: learning here, still learning on the run. But with these
- 19:11Speaker 1: offensive linemen, Tyler Smith is so amazing, Like I don't
- 19:16Speaker 1: think you guys understand how tough it is for a player,
- 19:21Speaker 1: especially a young player, to be moving from guard to
- 19:24Speaker 1: tackle and to be able to mentally do that and
- 19:27Speaker 1: have the type of body type that can handle both.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I mean, think about what your tackle looks like and
- 19:34Speaker 1: what your guard looks like, and to be able to
- 19:37Speaker 1: do both of that is pretty awesome. I mean, it's
- 19:41Speaker 1: an amazing feat to be able to be strong enough
- 19:44Speaker 1: to be playing tackle or guard with the tackle's body
- 19:49Speaker 1: and vice versa. So that's the one of the things
- 19:52Speaker 1: that I think that they had to figure out with
- 19:53Speaker 1: Austin Richards and say, what is he Let's make him
- 19:56Speaker 1: this only let him learn this position. And I think
- 20:00Speaker 1: they've done that with the tackle spot. All right. Next
- 20:04Speaker 1: is Champ in Nebraska.
- 20:06Speaker 5: Champ, what's up, hey, Nick? How's a Friday?
- 20:09Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing?
- 20:11Speaker 5: I just out driving around doing a little bit of work,
- 20:14Speaker 5: but I'm listening in cool. So I was calling because
- 20:19Speaker 5: I know we don't tell people how to fan on
- 20:22Speaker 5: this show, but man, I'm a little disappointed in our
- 20:25Speaker 5: fans right now. Like calling man is really easy, and
- 20:29Speaker 5: that's not a knock on you, because this show is great. Man.
- 20:33Speaker 5: I watched on Twitter if I can, and a few
- 20:38Speaker 5: weeks ago when I couldn't get in, I log on
- 20:41Speaker 5: in and tells you how many people are watching live
- 20:43Speaker 5: and there were eleven thousand people. I was like, man,
- 20:46Speaker 5: that's amazing. You know, this was probably three weeks ago.
- 20:51Speaker 1: I'm gonna Champ Jamp Champ time out. I'm going to
- 20:54Speaker 1: cut you off. Don't call out with fans on this one.
- 20:57Speaker 1: I'm gona I'm gonna tell you we've made a change.
- 21:01Speaker 1: We've made a change in how we're we're promoting these
- 21:03Speaker 1: the shows right now. And if you're gonna tell us
- 21:07Speaker 1: that that last week or three weeks ago was eleven
- 21:10Speaker 1: thousand and this week there was four hundred or two hundred.
- 21:13Speaker 5: Or whatever it is, that's where okay, all right, the.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Fans haven't changed, well, I mean, yeah, yeah, the fans
- 21:22Speaker 1: of the last three or three weeks. Obviously the emotions
- 21:25Speaker 1: have gone down or whatever, but we we we made
- 21:28Speaker 1: a change that I hope changes back, and a lot
- 21:33Speaker 1: of us do. I'm gonna just kind of leave it
- 21:34Speaker 1: at that, but let's let's don't put that one on
- 21:37Speaker 1: the fan. That that is something that that the people
- 21:40Speaker 1: above me have decided that there's best interest of our
- 21:43Speaker 1: shows right now to do that and and and have
- 21:45Speaker 1: changed the way we're promoting them. So I'll just leave
- 21:48Speaker 1: it at that is understandable.
- 21:49Speaker 5: Okay, that makes a huge difference, because I'm sitting here thinking, no,
- 21:53Speaker 5: did this many people jump off the bandwagon already? Like really, like, yeah,
- 21:58Speaker 5: I get it. The season is of things aren't well,
- 22:01Speaker 5: we don't look good, but man like really, so no,
- 22:05Speaker 5: that makes me feel a lot better. The people didn't
- 22:08Speaker 5: do that. Okay, Well, that was one of my points
- 22:11Speaker 5: that I was going to try to make and I
- 22:12Speaker 5: was going to say, hey, you know, we're still Cowboys fans.
- 22:17Speaker 5: I don't care if we're three and six or four
- 22:19Speaker 5: and thirteen. It hurts, It sucks that man, we're still
- 22:23Speaker 5: going to watch. Okay, So this week my question is here.
- 22:30Speaker 5: The last month and a half and McCarthy's press conferences,
- 22:35Speaker 5: he keeps talking about Rico and how well Rico's played,
- 22:38Speaker 5: and we got to get in the ball, and I
- 22:40Speaker 5: get at it. In some days games we've gotten blown
- 22:43Speaker 5: out and we have to abandon the run. Last week,
- 22:47Speaker 5: Rico had fifty two yards right before half, then he
- 22:50Speaker 5: lost two yards on a carry. We were still in
- 22:53Speaker 5: that game, and I think he wound up with fifty
- 22:56Speaker 5: six yards for the game. I get it. It got away
- 22:58Speaker 5: from us in the second half, but coming out in
- 23:01Speaker 5: the third quarter, they quit heeding him. Yeah, this week
- 23:05Speaker 5: in his press conference again he said we want to
- 23:07Speaker 5: get in touches and I'm kind of getting tired of that,
- 23:10Speaker 5: and I'm saying, don't just tell us that, show it
- 23:13Speaker 5: to us. I consistently show it to us, and it's
- 23:16Speaker 5: something we've talked about all season long. When's that going
- 23:20Speaker 5: to change? For me, Mike kinted dooming themselves by not
- 23:27Speaker 5: helping himself. Do you know what I'm saying.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to see what happened in
- 23:33Speaker 1: the in that first drive in the second half, like
- 23:39Speaker 1: I think it was, I guess it wasn't. They got
- 23:42Speaker 1: the ball the eleven yard line, and I.
- 23:45Speaker 5: Know we held them. I can't remember. I know we
- 23:48Speaker 5: held them because I made the comment to my dad.
- 23:49Speaker 5: I was like, holy crap, that's two weeks in a
- 23:52Speaker 5: row we've held somebody coming out of the half to
- 23:55Speaker 5: a punt. Yeah, but then I don't remember what we did,
- 24:00Speaker 5: but I know that we weren't running the ball well.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Three straight drives in the third quarter three yard, three plays,
- 24:06Speaker 1: three yards, three plays, five yards, three plays minus four
- 24:10Speaker 1: yards in a fumble. Oh and then an interception I believe,
- 24:15Speaker 1: well that was in the fourth quarter after another fumble.
- 24:18Speaker 1: So uh but but yeah, you're right, and I really
- 24:23Speaker 1: I can't recall that that first drive at the third quarter,
- 24:25Speaker 1: So maybe there was a run in there that didn't
- 24:28Speaker 1: didn't work out, and but it was three plays in
- 24:30Speaker 1: three yards. It's three and out, so that they're not
- 24:32Speaker 1: doing anything right there and it's always the chicken and
- 24:37Speaker 1: egg story for you know, when when the comes to
- 24:39Speaker 1: the ground game, are they not running because of this
- 24:41Speaker 1: or anyways? All right, Champ, appreciate it.
- 24:44Speaker 5: Well, hey, real quick, I know that this season has
- 24:46Speaker 5: been horribly hard for all of us as fans. You
- 24:50Speaker 5: guys worked there, you, Chris, the rest of guys on
- 24:52Speaker 5: the podcast and the girls. Thank you for what y'all do.
- 24:55Speaker 5: Like seriously, I know it's got to be hard and
- 24:57Speaker 5: we appreciate it.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 24:59Speaker 5: So that being said, go Cowboys. Let's get that win

- 27:26Speaker 1: but still five bouts. I think on the card it
- 27:30Speaker 1: should be a good fun atmosphere out there at at
- 27:33Speaker 1: and T Stadium. Maybe they can bring the fight there
- 27:36Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys can can also two days later,
- 27:39Speaker 1: when they turn that back into a football stadium, the
- 27:41Speaker 1: Cowboys can have some fight as well. Let's go to
- 27:44Speaker 1: Steve in New York.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, Steve, heading down to the game tomorrow.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Nice looking.
- 27:53Speaker 14: I'm looking forward to it.
- 27:54Speaker 5: You know.
- 27:55Speaker 2: It's funny. So many people have asked me, are you
- 27:57Speaker 2: still going to the game.
- 27:58Speaker 5: Listen.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Yes, I don't care what the situation is. You could
- 28:02Speaker 2: tell me they're gonna lose. I'm still going that's you know,
- 28:05Speaker 2: that's who I am. I'm a fan. I don't care.
- 28:09Speaker 4: You know.
- 28:09Speaker 2: You know it's funny. I probably want too much on
- 28:14Speaker 2: this social media stuff. But remember at the beginning of
- 28:18Speaker 2: the year, it was like we were struggling, and I
- 28:21Speaker 2: was like, I don't worry, it's only four games. It's
- 28:23Speaker 2: only five games, you know whatever. Now I hear like
- 28:26Speaker 2: people saying, oh my god, it's eight games.
- 28:28Speaker 5: Left of this.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Oh right, right, right right, yeah.
- 28:32Speaker 2: So you know, like like I've been saying all along,
- 28:34Speaker 2: be a fan. Yeah, just question for you the offensive line, which, obviously,
- 28:41Speaker 2: in my opinion anyway, this is where it all started,
- 28:43Speaker 2: the reason why everything else dominoed. Do you see the
- 28:47Speaker 2: two kids that they drafted staying at the positions they're
- 28:52Speaker 2: currently at, you know, I'm talking about G and BB
- 28:55Speaker 2: moving forward or possibly changing.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I think BB's gonna be a sinner. I do
- 29:04Speaker 1: think that. I maybe I could see maybe a scenario
- 29:10Speaker 1: where where, you know, if this is the end for
- 29:13Speaker 1: Zach Martin, you know, maybe he's a better guard. But
- 29:16Speaker 1: I just think I think because of you know, because
- 29:20Speaker 1: I asked this question, why did why was bebe? All
- 29:23Speaker 1: we've seen is him just putting people into the ground
- 29:25Speaker 1: and blocking and nastyness, So like, why was he a
- 29:27Speaker 1: third rounder? And the answer that I got was thirty
- 29:30Speaker 1: one inch arms, Like that's not that's not long arms.
- 29:33Speaker 1: He does not have long arms, and so therefore it's
- 29:36Speaker 1: better for him to probably play more inside at center
- 29:40Speaker 1: than than to be, you know, a guard and to have,
- 29:42Speaker 1: you know, to have the big, big guys in front
- 29:44Speaker 1: of you and all that. So I think he still
- 29:46Speaker 1: projects as a center. He's been good so far. I
- 29:49Speaker 1: think he'll get better and better. Yes, I see that
- 29:52Speaker 1: for him guiding. I think you are you saying maybe
- 29:55Speaker 1: right tackle?
- 29:57Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And again I'm also based singing on Zach
- 30:00Speaker 2: Martin not being there next year. And also if there
- 30:03Speaker 2: is a tackle yeah in the draft when the Cowboys select.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Could be I mean, yes, definitely could be, and and
- 30:11Speaker 1: I think I think he should be and the Cowboys
- 30:14Speaker 1: should be open to to moving him to that. So
- 30:19Speaker 1: either either way, you know, he's he's gonna you know,
- 30:21Speaker 1: remember Tyron Smith did that. He went played right tackle
- 30:25Speaker 1: and then he moved to left tackle and he's going
- 30:27Speaker 1: to be in Hall of Famers. So absolutely so, Yeah,
- 30:31Speaker 1: that that certainly could happen. And I think that's a
- 30:33Speaker 1: very good question. I mean, Steve, thanks for Do you
- 30:36Speaker 1: have any other questions or.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Trivia? Yeah, I'm gonna say I'm a fan and I've
- 30:45Speaker 2: been to Yeah, I've been to great games. I've been
- 30:48Speaker 2: to some of the worst games, including the Detroit game
- 30:50Speaker 2: this year. I came down for it so.
- 30:54Speaker 5: Late eighties.
- 30:54Speaker 2: I was at the Meadowlands. It was just an awful day.
- 30:58Speaker 2: But eighty eight is about fact. I'll give you the year.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Michael Lervin caught a touchdown pass that day from who
- 31:05Speaker 2: got this guy through three touchdowns in.
- 31:07Speaker 1: That game, Kevin Sweeney.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Yep, you got it.
- 31:13Speaker 1: And I'll just tell you I just I just messaged
- 31:16Speaker 1: the score to uh to Chris Bean just just before
- 31:20Speaker 1: I even answered that, I think, well, I think do
- 31:23Speaker 1: you have the score of the game. I think it's
- 31:25Speaker 1: it's like.
- 31:26Speaker 10: All right, that's what he sent me twenty nine, twenty.
- 31:29Speaker 1: One, nineteen eighty eight. And I don't think I watched
- 31:32Speaker 1: that game. I think I think I, you know, I
- 31:35Speaker 1: was a young kid. I don't think we got the game.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Actually that day was late in the season. Yeah, so
- 31:39Speaker 1: you went to that game?
- 31:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was miserable, but the actually, I mean
- 31:43Speaker 2: because that was like the flavor of the week back now,
- 31:46Speaker 2: Kevin Sweeny, Kevin Sweeney and we played him and he
- 31:48Speaker 2: did well and then they finally started him and I
- 31:50Speaker 2: think it was a Sunday night game. You got to
- 31:52Speaker 2: check it. I think it was against Minnesota. I think
- 31:54Speaker 2: they lost by forty points. Is one of the worst
- 31:55Speaker 2: games at Texas State you'll you'll ever see.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I think it was that same year yeap Land, right, Yeah, tough, tough, Yeah,
- 32:03Speaker 1: tough season there, eighty eight, which which thanks for the
- 32:06Speaker 1: call always, Steven. I really I really like the offensive
- 32:10Speaker 1: line question too, because it's just it's just one of
- 32:12Speaker 1: those things of like it, there's got to be more
- 32:15Speaker 1: than just who's gonna be the coach next year, who's
- 32:18Speaker 1: gonna be the coordinator and all those things that are
- 32:20Speaker 1: just too early to talk about. But but that's a
- 32:22Speaker 1: good that's thinking, like, all right, baby's having a good year,
- 32:25Speaker 1: you know, guiding not so much. I expected a little
- 32:28Speaker 1: bit more there, but he's he's he's had to grow up.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I mean, he's a young player, I mean a young
- 32:34Speaker 1: young player, and he's continuing to trying to get better
- 32:38Speaker 1: and he's trying to figure out how to be an
- 32:40Speaker 1: NFL player, and he's he's got some growing up to do.
- 32:44Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a you know, like
- 32:45Speaker 1: he's immature or anything like that. He's just got to
- 32:48Speaker 1: grow up as as a as they all do. Again,
- 32:52Speaker 1: that is not a knock. This isn't like I'm not
- 32:53Speaker 1: saying grow up, son. I'm saying, you've got to learn
- 32:56Speaker 1: how to be an NFL player. And it's three hundred
- 32:59Speaker 1: and sixty five days and you've got to learn how
- 33:01Speaker 1: to take care of your body, how to how to
- 33:04Speaker 1: play hurt, how to how to know the difference between
- 33:07Speaker 1: I'm sore and I'm hurt and I'm injured. And I
- 33:11Speaker 1: am talking about all young players and he is one
- 33:14Speaker 1: of them, and so he's just having to figure that out.
- 33:16Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, while he figures that out,
- 33:20Speaker 1: here is Nick Bosa, and here is Miles Garrett, and
- 33:24Speaker 1: here is I'm sure I'm missing some some really good
- 33:28Speaker 1: ones that we've you know, I know Thibodeaux was was
- 33:31Speaker 1: a challenge for him. I'm missing somebody that was really
- 33:35Speaker 1: good that you know, TJ Watt. Yeah, that guy tried
- 33:38Speaker 1: to wreck the game Aiden Hudgesson before he got hurt.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Uh there as well. So that and everybody's got some
- 33:44Speaker 1: really good pass rushers unless you're on a team that
- 33:46Speaker 1: has four injuries in a row at the same position. Cowboys, though,
- 33:50Speaker 1: have Michael Parsons back. They're definitely gonna need him this week.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Let's go to Randy in California. Randy, what's up?
- 33:57Speaker 15: Hey man, you guys are taking my call? Yeah, I
- 34:00Speaker 15: gotta just kind of I got a quick question or
- 34:03Speaker 15: to get your opinion on something, like, I know this
- 34:05Speaker 15: season is not going so great, but you know, I
- 34:07Speaker 15: like watching it just to like, you know, watch the
- 34:09Speaker 15: moments of like you know, Overshell making plays and everything
- 34:12Speaker 15: like that, and just watching these young players develop and like,
- 34:14Speaker 15: oh we got something there. Yeah, and you're like, you know,
- 34:16Speaker 15: other winning seasons, like you know, when Diggs led the
- 34:19Speaker 15: league in interceptions and you go on tune in like
- 34:22Speaker 15: he's he gonna get another one, right, or like dron Bland,
- 34:24Speaker 15: he's getting another pick six. So for this so I'm asking,
- 34:28Speaker 15: does it make me a bad fan that since this
- 34:31Speaker 15: team you know is dealing with all these injuries, it's
- 34:33Speaker 15: not going well. I just kind of don't want them
- 34:35Speaker 15: to lose out and try to get that number one
- 34:38Speaker 15: overall pick and just being selfish. Look at like past
- 34:41Speaker 15: trades for the overall pick, first overall pick was like
- 34:44Speaker 15: two first and two seconds to the good player or
- 34:46Speaker 15: something like that. So I just want to get.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Your opinion on Okay, I'm gonna ask you though, before
- 34:50Speaker 1: you before you hang up, I'm gonna say so again.
- 34:53Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be the judge of jury on who's
- 34:56Speaker 1: a bad fan and all that, but I'm gonna flip
- 34:59Speaker 1: it back to you. You want the number one overall pick?
- 35:03Speaker 1: Of course who doesn't? But do you want to go
- 35:07Speaker 1: through what it takes to get there? And and okay,
- 35:12Speaker 1: you're from California. What's the team you hate? Who you
- 35:15Speaker 1: hate the most?
- 35:15Speaker 4: What?
- 35:16Speaker 1: Okay, they already played them? Got anybody else? Eagles, Commanders Texas? Okay,
- 35:25Speaker 1: they're going to play the Eagles in Philly late in
- 35:28Speaker 1: the season. And Philly's Philly's going for the number one
- 35:32Speaker 1: seed with Detroit, they're battling for the number one seed
- 35:35Speaker 1: and they're struggling. And then Cowboys are down twenty one
- 35:38Speaker 1: to twenty and Aubrey's got a forty seven yard field
- 35:41Speaker 1: goal there with a swirling win to win the game,
- 35:44Speaker 1: and that would knock out Philly from getting a chance
- 35:47Speaker 1: to to get number one or from a buy or whatever,
- 35:50Speaker 1: and the Cowboys would be going from the third pick
- 35:52Speaker 1: to like the fifth pick. What do you want? I mean,
- 35:55Speaker 1: here's the kick they you know, Eagles have called time
- 35:58Speaker 1: out and they're they're trying to ice them. What do
- 36:00Speaker 1: you want to happen?
- 36:03Speaker 15: I mean, if it's that scenario, then yeah, I we'll
- 36:05Speaker 15: Aubrey make that kick and screw up Eagles fans.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and and maybe that that scenario, maybe
- 36:12Speaker 1: maybe that's not the case. Maybe maybe Philadelphia is already
- 36:15Speaker 1: not even playing that. They're guys, and you know, and
- 36:17Speaker 1: maybe you're playing against Kenny Pickett. I don't know. We've
- 36:20Speaker 1: seen that scenario too, where it doesn't mess up anything.
- 36:23Speaker 1: It's just Cowboys win the game or not. I mean,
- 36:26Speaker 1: when you say, am I a bad fan? It's not
- 36:28Speaker 1: a bad fan to want that, you know, the best
- 36:31Speaker 1: possible scenario out of a bad situation. But are you
- 36:34Speaker 1: really willing to be like miss it got hope? This
- 36:38Speaker 1: kid misses this kick because I don't want this third
- 36:40Speaker 1: pick or fifth pick. I want the third pick.
- 36:43Speaker 15: I mean no, I mean for me, if it's like
- 36:45Speaker 15: because I like Aubrey, like some of these players, like
- 36:48Speaker 15: you know, I like them a lot and I respect
- 36:49Speaker 15: them a lot, and it's like, oh, if they have
- 36:51Speaker 15: a chance to do something great or make a great play.
- 36:53Speaker 5: Do it.
- 36:54Speaker 15: I'm not I'm not gonna I go want the master
- 36:56Speaker 15: to go out there and perform, do their best. I
- 36:58Speaker 15: just I think tank, but I mean lose out.
- 37:01Speaker 11: But I like, I want them.
- 37:02Speaker 15: To compete and try hard and stuff. But just I'm
- 37:05Speaker 15: not going to get super upset if they like.
- 37:08Speaker 1: No, and and and I'll say this, the fact that
- 37:10Speaker 1: you call the show here in the middle of the
- 37:13Speaker 1: season that's not going well, Like you said, you're no
- 37:16Speaker 1: one's a bad fan. No one's a bad fan when
- 37:19Speaker 1: they do that. So so no, I hear exactly what
- 37:24Speaker 1: you're saying. I'm just saying, you know, it's easier said
- 37:26Speaker 1: than done when you're when you're committed like these fans
- 37:29Speaker 1: are like you guys are, It's easier said than done
- 37:32Speaker 1: to say, like I don't really want them to win.
- 37:34Speaker 1: I don't care. No, you want the you want the
- 37:37Speaker 1: good pick that comes with it because you deserve it,
- 37:40Speaker 1: because we're going through this crap. But in the heat
- 37:42Speaker 1: of the moment, win the game. And if someone really
- 37:46Speaker 1: said I really hope he misses this kick, that's where
- 37:50Speaker 1: I have some questions. But whatever, all right, thanks Randy,
- 37:53Speaker 1: appreciate that. All right, Andy from California. I hope he
- 37:58Speaker 1: was listening yesterday when Randy from Texarcana called and basically said,
- 38:03Speaker 1: you know, he just kind of welcomed all the Randy's
- 38:05Speaker 1: to call in. And you know, if Randy Macho man
- 38:08Speaker 1: Savage was alive, maybe he would call. Yes, I don't remember.
- 38:13Speaker 1: All right, Anthony Richmond, Virginia. What's up, Nick?
- 38:17Speaker 5: What's up?
- 38:18Speaker 14: Buddy Man? I finally got through first time caller. I
- 38:21Speaker 14: can't believe it.
- 38:24Speaker 1: There we go.
- 38:26Speaker 14: Yeah, I've been listening to you guys. You know, I
- 38:28Speaker 14: remember talking Cowboys when it was you Brian brought us
- 38:31Speaker 14: and Mickey. I think that was like the only show.
- 38:34Speaker 9: At the time or something.
- 38:35Speaker 14: But yeah, anyways, what I wanted to say was, you know,
- 38:40Speaker 14: with all the players and you know, them getting angry
- 38:42Speaker 14: and stuff about fans in the stadium and working out
- 38:46Speaker 14: and saying it as a circus and all that, why
- 38:50Speaker 14: couldn't we do something like a mirror tent, you know
- 38:53Speaker 14: what I mean to where the players like when they
- 38:55Speaker 14: look at the glass, it's it's just it's mirror to
- 38:59Speaker 14: where they only see them so else, but the fans
- 39:01Speaker 14: can look in still.
- 39:02Speaker 1: That that's cheap. That's what it is. That's what it is. Yeah,
- 39:06Speaker 1: it is that they can't see the other side. I
- 39:09Speaker 1: think I think what one of those guys was saying
- 39:14Speaker 1: was that maybe somebody knocked on the glass or whatever,
- 39:16Speaker 1: and if that happened, it might have. If that happened,
- 39:19Speaker 1: I'm sure that that person was removed immediately from from
- 39:22Speaker 1: the tour because that that that doesn't happen a lot.
- 39:24Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's it's all. It's all good.
- 39:29Speaker 4: You know.
- 39:29Speaker 14: Another thing I wanted to ask you about, Uh, what
- 39:32Speaker 14: do you think about Illinoy? I mean, I know that
- 39:38Speaker 14: we talk about this all the time and everything, but
- 39:41Speaker 14: every time that I watch a game, whether it's preseason
- 39:44Speaker 14: or whether he's you know, in for one or two
- 39:47Speaker 14: plays or something in a series, Uh, he's there and
- 39:51Speaker 14: like his hands are are pretty shirt up. I mean,
- 39:54Speaker 14: I don't know if I'm watching a different game than
- 39:56Speaker 14: anybody else. But yeah, I kind of I kind of
- 40:00Speaker 14: really liked Illinois, Like I think that he could be,
- 40:04Speaker 14: you know, way way better than you know, if given
- 40:07Speaker 14: more chances, more opportunity. You know, I just don't. Yeah,
- 40:12Speaker 14: I like the mingo thing, but you know, I just
- 40:15Speaker 14: I think that Illinois needs a needs a break here.
- 40:18Speaker 5: Man.
- 40:19Speaker 1: Well, I mean he's a he's a young player from
- 40:21Speaker 1: a small school that you know, has to try to
- 40:23Speaker 1: figure out, you know how the speed of the game
- 40:27Speaker 1: and all that. And he he kind of got better
- 40:29Speaker 1: in all of the preseason games and and because it
- 40:33Speaker 1: started out, you know, he had a couple of drops,
- 40:35Speaker 1: I believe in the first game. Then he got a
- 40:37Speaker 1: little better, scored a touchdown, then scored another one, and
- 40:40Speaker 1: then the season started and he hasn't been active until
- 40:43Speaker 1: the last few games. Uh he did catch a pass
- 40:46Speaker 1: then fumbled. I forgot what game that would Detroit maybe,
- 40:50Speaker 1: So I mean, he he's gonna get better and better.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Remember this, Miles Austin, small school player, wasn't drafted. I
- 40:57Speaker 1: don't know if he caught a pass for the first
- 40:59Speaker 1: two or three years he was here, and then I
- 41:02Speaker 1: think he was just and then blew up and to
- 41:06Speaker 1: a pro bowler player. So Flinoy can be I mean,
- 41:11Speaker 1: we've seen that that happen. I'm not saying he's gonna
- 41:13Speaker 1: be Miles Austin, but I'm saying, you know, he's he's
- 41:15Speaker 1: getting the opportunity and this year, this the rest of
- 41:18Speaker 1: the season, he will get that opportunity to continue to
- 41:21Speaker 1: do that. So, uh, Flinoy has to play and this
- 41:24Speaker 1: is the type of player that needs to play at
- 41:26Speaker 1: the end of the season.
- 41:26Speaker 4: Here.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Now for who, I'm not sure you know, like like
- 41:30Speaker 1: who snaps? Are is he taking? Is he taking Jalen Brooks?
- 41:34Speaker 1: Is he taking Jalen Tolbart? Is he gonna take CDs? Snaps?
- 41:37Speaker 1: If CD, you know, doesn't play as much. I hope
- 41:40Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. But I'm just saying, you know, who's
- 41:43Speaker 1: who snaps? Or is he gonna is he gonna take?
- 41:45Speaker 4: Here?
- 41:45Speaker 14: But that's fine, honest with you, Yeah, to be honest
- 41:49Speaker 14: with you, I mean I think I think for me personally,
- 41:53Speaker 14: like I've seen Jalen Brooks enough now to kind of
- 41:57Speaker 14: get an idea of what he is, Like I want
- 41:59Speaker 14: to Illinois.
- 42:00Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 42:01Speaker 14: Yeah, but hang up, man, it's nice to finally get
- 42:05Speaker 14: through to you guys. I think the last time I
- 42:07Speaker 14: got through was like ten years ago.

- 43:41Speaker 1: to the phone lines. Here, We've got first time caller
- 43:44Speaker 1: from Delaware, John Delaware.
- 43:48Speaker 18: Yes, sir, how you doing, good man?
- 43:49Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 43:52Speaker 18: Cowboys? Say it never got off before?
- 43:54Speaker 5: First time? Did it?
- 43:55Speaker 4: Is?
- 43:57Speaker 5: I got it over.
- 43:58Speaker 18: I'm not really expecting us to the season. I kind
- 44:02Speaker 18: of look look at these games now and this is
- 44:05Speaker 18: exactly what Jerry Jones did on the field this year.
- 44:08Speaker 18: So hopefully he can learn as well to put a
- 44:11Speaker 18: better team together next year.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all that's all you can hope for, you know,
- 44:15Speaker 1: and and and hope that you get, you know, as
- 44:18Speaker 1: a little bit more fortunate with with the injuries. But
- 44:21Speaker 1: it's not just injuries. I mean, I'm not gonna sit
- 44:23Speaker 1: here and say that. I mean, this team wasn't set
- 44:25Speaker 1: up to have a lot of depth, and so they
- 44:28Speaker 1: could not afford him. They couldn't afford him, and it
- 44:31Speaker 1: didn't happen, you know, so exactly exactly.
- 44:34Speaker 18: I feel the same way. I mean, I'm a huge
- 44:36Speaker 18: Cowboy fan, and I see we had injuries, but we
- 44:39Speaker 18: really didn't have the personnel. Took a back injury.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Yeah that's it. And then that's that's what it comes
- 44:46Speaker 1: down to. I mean, you know, you lose entire uh
- 44:49Speaker 1: you know, Tyron Smith and say we're gonna go with
- 44:51Speaker 1: our first round pick, and and he hasn't been. He
- 44:55Speaker 1: hasn't been like Tyler Smith was. Just you can't just
- 44:59Speaker 1: lock him in and say all right, you know, no problems.
- 45:02Speaker 1: But uh yeah, and you know, same with Cinat.
- 45:05Speaker 18: We really don't have the veterans on the team for
- 45:08Speaker 18: the new players to learn right well.
- 45:10Speaker 1: And it was a bad year for Zach Martin to
- 45:12Speaker 1: kind of take a drop. I mean, that's one of
- 45:15Speaker 1: those things you don't believe it's going to happen until
- 45:17Speaker 1: it happens.
- 45:18Speaker 5: All the time.
- 45:19Speaker 1: You always say, yeah, so, uh all right, you got
- 45:23Speaker 1: anything else.
- 45:24Speaker 18: I'm probably going to try to call back next week,
- 45:27Speaker 18: and I appreciate you'll call.
- 45:28Speaker 1: All right, Well, definitely thanks for calling in John from Delaware.
- 45:31Speaker 1: Don't get a lot of calls from Delaware, but uh,
- 45:34Speaker 1: uh that's one I haven't That's the state I haven't
- 45:37Speaker 1: been to. And it's not that far from Philly. I mean,
- 45:40Speaker 1: should should have gone at some point, but I just
- 45:43Speaker 1: never have. All right, let's go. H one more or
- 45:47Speaker 1: at least one more. Eric in North Carolina, Eric, what's up.
- 45:52Speaker 4: Here? Yes, sir?
- 45:55Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 45:56Speaker 4: Man?
- 45:57Speaker 17: Hey, I'm doing great.
- 45:58Speaker 4: I hope you are.
- 45:59Speaker 1: I'm great.
- 46:00Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 46:01Speaker 17: I just wanted to call and say that, Uh, I
- 46:04Speaker 17: watched all the Cowboys games and uh and I always will.
- 46:10Speaker 17: But I tell you that I think the our discipline
- 46:14Speaker 17: on the team is really poor and the technique that
- 46:19Speaker 17: players use on the team, uh is very poor.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Examples of the.
- 46:27Speaker 17: Like the receivers route running. Uh, it just seems like
- 46:32Speaker 17: we don't have any receivers that run crisp.
- 46:34Speaker 5: Routes too much.
- 46:37Speaker 17: They cut off routes a lot. And uh. It's like
- 46:42Speaker 17: Lamb is very talented and uh, but he seems like
- 46:47Speaker 17: he's just most effective at slants using like his speed,
- 46:53Speaker 17: but but also like the defensive tackles, they just uh,
- 46:58Speaker 17: they can't hold their position and uh they just get ridden,
- 47:02Speaker 17: you know, wide, And it just seems like they're not
- 47:06Speaker 17: using proper leverage and things like that. And it seems
- 47:11Speaker 17: like our current coaches aren't communicating well uh with our
- 47:17Speaker 17: players and uh and just our players aren't aren't playing
- 47:21Speaker 17: with much passion, and I'm just hoping for better days.
- 47:28Speaker 17: The current team seems like it seems like our teams
- 47:30Speaker 17: from the early two thousands, like in the Campo uh
- 47:35Speaker 17: uh era.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't go there, but but it but
- 47:40Speaker 1: it could. But you know what, you may not be wrong,
- 47:43Speaker 1: and if you are, I mean, if you're right about that,
- 47:45Speaker 1: that's that's certainly not a good thing. But yeah, you
- 47:50Speaker 1: you can't. You can't sit here and say, well, you know,
- 47:53Speaker 1: this team looks looks prepared, it looks organized. I mean
- 47:56Speaker 1: there's times where they don't. You talked about the route running, Uh,
- 48:01Speaker 1: I've seen it at least five times this year where
- 48:03Speaker 1: it just feels like the two guys are going in
- 48:06Speaker 1: the exact same spot on the field and I don't
- 48:09Speaker 1: know if they're supposed to cross each other, and the
- 48:11Speaker 1: bault is there. You know when it's too early, but
- 48:15Speaker 1: there's been too many times, including the one where the
- 48:18Speaker 1: sun was involved just last week. Where is that the
- 48:21Speaker 1: CD is that the Ferguson is that to who I
- 48:23Speaker 1: mean like and and that that goes with route running,
- 48:26Speaker 1: that goes with also the offense and just and and
- 48:29Speaker 1: the and the route tree that's there.
- 48:32Speaker 17: So it just yeah, offensive line could could certainly help
- 48:37Speaker 17: the situation. Yes, you know, are that effects the quarterback.
- 48:41Speaker 17: That's why you know Prescott's you know, you know, you know,
- 48:45Speaker 17: injured and and you know the receivers can't run deep
- 48:48Speaker 17: routes because there's not enough time, right and I'm just
- 48:53Speaker 17: hoping for a better days, you know, for our team because.
- 48:56Speaker 4: It just hurts.
- 48:58Speaker 17: I'm sure it hurt every every Cowboys, you know, uh
- 49:02Speaker 17: feelings like when Romo said the our Cowboys looked like
- 49:06Speaker 17: the Keystone Cops, you know, after like five turnovers and
- 49:11Speaker 17: you know, just a sloppy you know play and everything.
- 49:14Speaker 17: But I know we'll be better. I know, I know
- 49:17Speaker 17: we'll be better. We're a young team right now largely,
- 49:20Speaker 17: and you know we just got to play play better
- 49:23Speaker 17: together definitely.
- 49:25Speaker 1: Well all right, well, I appreciate the call. Thank you,
- 49:29Speaker 1: for and that that's some good stuff that's honest and
- 49:33Speaker 1: and and fair and uh and that's that's all you
- 49:36Speaker 1: can really be about this team. I mean, that's that's
- 49:39Speaker 1: what it is. It's uh, it doesn't look as good
- 49:42Speaker 1: uh as as we've seen in the past. And you
- 49:44Speaker 1: know that's that's what happens when you when you have
- 49:46Speaker 1: the star, when you when you have this team in
- 49:48Speaker 1: this franchise. I mean, the standard is high. I say
- 49:51Speaker 1: it all the time. My favorite song of all time
- 49:54Speaker 1: because it was it was my days in college, also
- 49:56Speaker 1: because I've met the person uh Montell Jordan. But my
- 50:00Speaker 1: favorite song is this is how we do it and
- 50:01Speaker 1: and and and because I understand now when what it
- 50:05Speaker 1: means is that there's a standard, this is how we
- 50:07Speaker 1: do it and here at the Cowboys, and if it's
- 50:09Speaker 1: not done that way, then you hold yourself to a
- 50:11Speaker 1: high standard. And and when you know, when you expect
- 50:14Speaker 1: that kind of greatness and it's not happening, then you're
- 50:17Speaker 1: gonna get criticized for it. And then I think everybody
- 50:19Speaker 1: understands that. And and so the fans that have come
- 50:22Speaker 1: on this showed this day and this week that that
- 50:25Speaker 1: have come on to do that and and and to
- 50:28Speaker 1: kind of say, hey, this isn't this isn't right. I
- 50:30Speaker 1: appreciate them doing it in a classy way, but it
- 50:34Speaker 1: still doesn't make it. You know, it doesn't mean that
- 50:36Speaker 1: doesn't hurt, because it does. It's it sucks when you're
- 50:39Speaker 1: invested like a lot of these Cowboy fans are, and
- 50:41Speaker 1: and and you know it has the season has gone
- 50:44Speaker 1: on like it has. But you know, wins can cure everything,
- 50:49Speaker 1: especially against you know, a team uh that's that's not
- 50:52Speaker 1: too far down the road, and that they're going to
- 50:54Speaker 1: come in here and want to win this game more
- 50:56Speaker 1: than any other game this season. The Cowboys need to
- 50:59Speaker 1: have something for We'll see if they do on Monday night.
- 51:01Speaker 1: We'll talk about it for sure on Tuesday. All right,
