- 0:05Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 4: This is He's Cowboys storyline with.
- 0:16Speaker 5: Nick Eatman storyline. I am Nick Eatman. It is Monday,
- 0:26Speaker 5: November the eleventh. Happy Veterans Day to everyone out there.
- 0:32Speaker 5: I know I have some veterans in my family. I'm
- 0:35Speaker 5: sure everyone has some in their family, if not a
- 0:39Speaker 5: veteran themselves. So we appreciate everybody for what they've done,
- 0:42Speaker 5: the service that they've had there. Let's talk about the Cowboys.
- 0:46Speaker 5: Cowboys and Eagles thirty four to six, I believe was
- 0:51Speaker 5: the final. I really don't have my stats in front
- 0:54Speaker 5: of me, but there's not a lot to look at.
- 0:57Speaker 5: Their two field goals for the Boys, a lot of
- 1:00Speaker 5: touchdowns and points for the Eagles. It was a good
- 1:04Speaker 5: effort for a while. On defense. It's good to see
- 1:07Speaker 5: Michael Parsons back on the field. But you know, that's
- 1:12Speaker 5: why you play. Sixty minutes. You keep playing, they keep scoring.
- 1:15Speaker 5: You don't next thing, you know, it's a blowout. We've
- 1:17Speaker 5: seen it the other way. We've seen several games that
- 1:20Speaker 5: looked like a blowout, and the Cowboys were able to
- 1:22Speaker 5: kind of get back in it and and make it
- 1:25Speaker 5: somewhat closer. This one was not. By the end of
- 1:29Speaker 5: the game, the Eagles looked like a team that will
- 1:32Speaker 5: be competing for the playoffs. Cowboys do not look like
- 1:35Speaker 5: that right now at all. They they just don't have
- 1:38Speaker 5: any any players that are that are playmakers. I mean,
- 1:43Speaker 5: that's that's the that's the problem. They have a couple
- 1:45Speaker 5: on defense and and those guys made plays, and then
- 1:50Speaker 5: they have one on offense, and he didn't really make
- 1:54Speaker 5: a lot of plays. And it's just it's just a
- 1:56Speaker 5: it's just a bad situation right now. So I appreciate
- 1:59Speaker 5: you guys are being on the line to talk about it.
- 2:01Speaker 5: Eight eight eight eight five five to two nine seven.
- 2:03Speaker 5: Let's start with Bruce and Houston.
- 2:05Speaker 6: Bruce, what's up, Hey, Nick, that's going Thanks for taking
- 2:09Speaker 6: my call. You know, at this juncture now, I mean
- 2:12Speaker 6: I didn't think they were gonna I think they're still
- 2:14Speaker 6: going to lose the Houston Monday night. And also Washington
- 2:18Speaker 6: is the season's over. I mean, we've got to face fact.
- 2:22Speaker 6: I know nobody wants to, but because right now it
- 2:25Speaker 6: looks like we're going to have a top five pick,
- 2:27Speaker 6: maybe even better, and Mike is our best player. I mean,
- 2:32Speaker 6: it's obvious two sacks when he first comes back. So
- 2:37Speaker 6: if you want to do a quick rebuild, I'd like
- 2:39Speaker 6: to see them play Trey Lance the rest of the
- 2:41Speaker 6: way and if by some chance he lights up or
- 2:46Speaker 6: shows something, they could they could resign him as a
- 2:49Speaker 6: backup quarterback to Dak. But my question to you is
- 2:54Speaker 6: that if they did, if they had a top five
- 2:57Speaker 6: pick and they don't need a quarterback next year, you
- 3:00Speaker 6: could parlay that into a number one for next year's
- 3:03Speaker 6: draft when they could possibly I mean the year after
- 3:06Speaker 6: twenty twenty six, when they could possibly use a quarterback
- 3:10Speaker 6: then and have him sit one year behind Dak and
- 3:12Speaker 6: then they can get out of this contract. Would you
- 3:15Speaker 6: not think that Dallas would be smart to use Micah
- 3:19Speaker 6: in a I know he's a generational talent and all
- 3:22Speaker 6: that other stuff, but to afford him is going to
- 3:25Speaker 6: cost out. You know, it's going to be forty to
- 3:27Speaker 6: fifty a year, and I think that's just too much
- 3:29Speaker 6: money to pay three guys personally. But could you not
- 3:33Speaker 6: use him like we've talked in the past, a herschel
- 3:35Speaker 6: Walker type trade, and you could rebuild this team and
- 3:38Speaker 6: probably one to two drafts if if you could do that,
- 3:42Speaker 6: But I'll hang up and listen. I'm really disappointed in him,
- 3:46Speaker 6: Nick as I know you are too, but you know
- 3:48Speaker 6: it is and they got a clean house. And why
- 3:50Speaker 6: they're keeping michaelcarthy, it's beyond me. But good show, buddy,
- 3:54Speaker 6: talk to you later.
- 3:56Speaker 5: Okay, thanks for the thanks for the call. Sorry that
- 3:59Speaker 5: last far. Why they're keeping McCarthy, I mean, well, I
- 4:04Speaker 5: mean he's the head coach and and and you've seen
- 4:09Speaker 5: what he's what he's done. I think everybody kind of
- 4:12Speaker 5: understands where things are right now and why it's as
- 4:16Speaker 5: bad as it is now. I'm not saying the coaches
- 4:21Speaker 5: don't get you know, uh some of the blame for this,
- 4:24Speaker 5: because they they should. I mean part of as a
- 4:26Speaker 5: coach you have to adapt to the situation. And and
- 4:29Speaker 5: the situation is you know that there's there's a lot
- 4:33Speaker 5: of injuries and the depth is not there, and then
- 4:35Speaker 5: and the backups don't seem to be as ready to play.
- 4:37Speaker 5: But Cooper Rush did not seem ready to play, and
- 4:39Speaker 5: that that's a shocker because uh that's what he's been
- 4:43Speaker 5: Uh now, I don't know about if that's fair to say,
- 4:46Speaker 5: I'm just saying what it looked like. It didn't look
- 4:48Speaker 5: like a game plan that was ready to for him
- 4:50Speaker 5: to succeed. You know, they don't have playmakers that that
- 4:57Speaker 5: that can catch the ball and just go and and
- 5:00Speaker 5: and shed tackles. They don't have that guy, So why
- 5:03Speaker 5: are we running underneath routes? I don't know that. I
- 5:05Speaker 5: don't understand why you were seeing Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks,
- 5:10Speaker 5: even CD Ferguson. They're not breaking tackles. So things have
- 5:15Speaker 5: got to be a little bit more vertical. Get it blocked,
- 5:18Speaker 5: get them down the field, because these these aren't these
- 5:20Speaker 5: underneath guys. And that's part of the West Coast offense.
- 5:24Speaker 5: But you've got to have players that can do that.
- 5:25Speaker 5: And and that's that was kind of disappointing that they
- 5:28Speaker 5: kept running these shallow crosses and and and bubble screens
- 5:33Speaker 5: and things like that where you're asking your your your
- 5:36Speaker 5: receivers who are not big, You're asking them to either
- 5:39Speaker 5: block down the field, which they're not that good at,
- 5:42Speaker 5: or if they've got the ball, break a lot of tackles.
- 5:45Speaker 5: That's just not going to work against that type of defense.
- 5:48Speaker 5: And you know, I feel like you've got to get
- 5:51Speaker 5: it blocked better than that, get them down the field vertical,
- 5:53Speaker 5: and you just see so many drives that were just
- 5:55Speaker 5: two to one punt and you're not giving your your
- 5:59Speaker 5: team a chance and your defensive chance. I mean, they
- 6:01Speaker 5: were playing well, but they kept putting him back on
- 6:04Speaker 5: the field over and over again. All right, Tony in Atlanta.
- 6:08Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, good morning?
- 6:10Speaker 5: How you doing?
- 6:11Speaker 7: Heyn good Man? Got no complaints at all, Man, good
- 6:13Speaker 7: to visit with you.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Not one, not one complaint.
- 6:16Speaker 7: Not one, not one at all. But you know what,
- 6:20Speaker 7: let me let me tell you something, niggas, let me
- 6:22Speaker 7: tell you something.
- 6:23Speaker 8: Man.
- 6:23Speaker 7: I've heard you say this on a regularly, pretty regularly.
- 6:26Speaker 7: You you don't want to tell people how to fans, right,
- 6:32Speaker 7: And so that being said, it's funny because that game yesterday,
- 6:36Speaker 7: and really the last couple of weeks actually, it's been
- 6:41Speaker 7: a situation where like I kind of feel bad in
- 6:44Speaker 7: a certain in a sense because I really haven't been
- 6:47Speaker 7: that dialed into the games. I mean I've been, like,
- 6:51Speaker 7: you know, like yesterday I was cooking outside smoking a
- 6:53Speaker 7: turkey and kind of checking in on the game here
- 6:56Speaker 7: and there. And it's just been one of those things
- 6:58Speaker 7: where I kind of feel bad that I'm not as
- 7:00Speaker 7: emotionally tied and focused on these games. I can't really
- 7:05Speaker 7: explain it, but it's just been I don't know. But
- 7:09Speaker 7: at any rate, that's why I don't have any complaint,
- 7:11Speaker 7: but that he said. I thought about this though, Nick,
- 7:14Speaker 7: and I immediately thought about you this morning that game yesterday,
- 7:19Speaker 7: you know, because I did. I mean, I definitely watched
- 7:22Speaker 7: all of it, but I was kind of in and
- 7:23Speaker 7: out at certain points that game yesterday. It reminded me,
- 7:26Speaker 7: and I know you got a pretty good memory of
- 7:28Speaker 7: different games here and there of a game in twenty fifteen, ironically,
- 7:33Speaker 7: of course, because you know, Romo was hurt most of
- 7:35Speaker 7: the year. But it was a game against I think
- 7:38Speaker 7: New England. It's like the defense came out and they
- 7:41Speaker 7: got sacks on Brady, like Greg Harry got two sacks
- 7:45Speaker 7: and somebody else got two sacks and was just wearing
- 7:49Speaker 7: out Brady, but the offense could do absolutely nothing, and
- 7:53Speaker 7: then eventually it just got wore down.
- 7:54Speaker 5: And are you sure that's the same score?
- 7:58Speaker 7: Close, real close. It was something like that something It
- 8:03Speaker 7: was something to six. I know that it was.
- 8:05Speaker 5: They felt like it was thirty four to six or
- 8:07Speaker 5: thirty one six or something like that. Yeah, I'm looking
- 8:09Speaker 5: at it now.
- 8:10Speaker 7: Yeah it was something like six, okay, yeah, and it
- 8:15Speaker 7: just felt I just come back to that game. Yeah,
- 8:18Speaker 7: and it was like defense tried to keep you in
- 8:20Speaker 7: the game, but the offense just had nothing at all,
- 8:25Speaker 7: you know. But I had another I got a quick question.
- 8:28Speaker 7: So in this is kind of big picture. Uh, there's
- 8:31Speaker 7: this narrative. Is a is a huge narrative that's been
- 8:34Speaker 7: with the franchise for two almost three decades that players
- 8:40Speaker 7: can skip over the coach, go straight to Jerry right,
- 8:43Speaker 7: that whole thing, and this kind of reird its head,
- 8:45Speaker 7: you know, it's rerid hiss head a little bit with
- 8:47Speaker 7: Zeke this year because Zeke's you know, hadn't been able
- 8:50Speaker 7: to hadn't been in the role he was supposed to
- 8:52Speaker 7: have been given this year. And so I guess I
- 8:56Speaker 7: wanted to ask you, like, how real do you think?
- 8:59Speaker 7: I mean, you you and I know you're not there
- 9:01Speaker 7: with players and things like that, but you get a
- 9:03Speaker 7: sense of things around there. How real is that narrative?
- 9:06Speaker 7: Because I think of one specific example, going back even further.
- 9:10Speaker 7: You remember the old Roy Williams t O Patrick Creighton
- 9:13Speaker 7: marched down the Jason Garrett's office, and Garrett was the
- 9:16Speaker 7: offensive coordinator at that time. I mean, I feel like
- 9:19Speaker 7: if that, if that, and Creighton has even talked about
- 9:22Speaker 7: that verbally, like he's talking about that, Yeah, and if
- 9:26Speaker 7: that were really, if that perception was reality, I would
- 9:29Speaker 7: have thought they wouldn't have marched down to Jason Garrett's
- 9:31Speaker 7: office and complained about Jason Whitning and Tony Relmo drawing
- 9:35Speaker 7: up players in the dirt. They would have went to Jerry, right,
- 9:37Speaker 7: I mean, so, how real is that perception in your opinion.
- 9:42Speaker 5: That yeah, all right, thanks for the call. I don't
- 9:45Speaker 5: think the players appreciate you. I don't think the I
- 9:49Speaker 5: don't think that's that real. The players going to Jerry,
- 9:54Speaker 5: you know, now Jerry's around. I mean there's conversations there,
- 9:58Speaker 5: but I don't I don't think there's there's a lot
- 10:00Speaker 5: of that of a lot of leap frogging going on
- 10:04Speaker 5: here at all, you know. I just and I don't
- 10:09Speaker 5: even know how true that was that that that that
- 10:11Speaker 5: ever happened back in the the O eight. I know
- 10:13Speaker 5: Creighton has talked about it before, but I don't I
- 10:15Speaker 5: don't really know. I do want to go back Bruce
- 10:19Speaker 5: and Houston's our first caller. I mean I didn't really
- 10:23Speaker 5: answer a lot of that what he was saying. Again,
- 10:26Speaker 5: And you guys know I'm not this is a show.
- 10:28Speaker 5: I've said it many times. It's a show for you
- 10:30Speaker 5: guys to to get on and vent and say what
- 10:33Speaker 5: you want to say and say what you're thinking. So
- 10:35Speaker 5: I can't come back and say, guys, don't talk about
- 10:39Speaker 5: that too early, can't talk about next year. That's what
- 10:41Speaker 5: you're thinking. You already, you know, putting a bowl on
- 10:45Speaker 5: this one. But this team won't continue to do that.
- 10:49Speaker 5: I mean they're gonna I would think they're going to
- 10:51Speaker 5: continue to play and and and you know, try to
- 10:53Speaker 5: try to win some of these games. I I'll say
- 10:57Speaker 5: this about Micah. He needs to be on your football team.
- 11:02Speaker 5: That's that's my opinion. I'm not trading him for two
- 11:05Speaker 5: picks or three picks. What what are you going to
- 11:08Speaker 5: get for him? You get two first round picks? Okay,
- 11:12Speaker 5: you get two first round picks. A team that's that
- 11:15Speaker 5: says we'll give out a first round pick because we
- 11:18Speaker 5: got a good football team. So you're gonna get a
- 11:19Speaker 5: twenty fourth overall pick and then he's gonna help him.
- 11:23Speaker 5: And then the next year you're gonna get their pick again,
- 11:25Speaker 5: and it'll be twenty eight. And then then what you want,
- 11:28Speaker 5: you're gonna pick it Mazzie Smith. Then another Tyler Smith
- 11:32Speaker 5: or another Tyler Guidon or whatever. You canna get a
- 11:35Speaker 5: pass rusher there, No thanks, I'll I'll have him on
- 11:40Speaker 5: my team because the players got better, Overstrown just got better.
- 11:44Speaker 5: Overshrown just got better with Micah out there. I'm not
- 11:48Speaker 5: buying that one. I think I think he helps the
- 11:52Speaker 5: football team. Now there's some things you get he's got
- 11:55Speaker 5: to clean up as well. You know, he can't say
- 11:58Speaker 5: some of those things he said after the game. Of
- 12:00Speaker 5: course I fought the question as well. I don't know
- 12:02Speaker 5: why we're asking Micah parsons that kind of question about
- 12:05Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy doesn't make any sense to me, but whatever,
- 12:10Speaker 5: But I'm keeping him on my team, so that that's me.
- 12:13Speaker 5: That's what I think, and I think the Cowboy and
- 12:14Speaker 5: Jerry said it too. Jerry said the other day that
- 12:17Speaker 5: we not once have we ever thought about doing that.
- 12:19Speaker 5: So I don't think that's going to happen. Sorry, let's
- 12:21Speaker 5: keep it rolling here. I'm a from Napa, California.
- 12:26Speaker 9: Hey, what's up, Nick? How are you doing?
- 12:28Speaker 5: What's up?
- 12:28Speaker 3: Man?
- 12:30Speaker 1: Man?
- 12:30Speaker 9: I'm just appreciative you taking my call. Feeling pretty somber
- 12:33Speaker 9: this morning.
- 12:34Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty early. What's that pretty early out there?
- 12:40Speaker 5: Thanks for getting up.
- 12:42Speaker 9: I'm a working man, So there you go. Get up.
- 12:45Speaker 9: I gotta get up and go work.
- 12:47Speaker 5: Gotta get up, all right, man? What what do you what?
- 12:49Speaker 5: It's on your mind?
- 12:51Speaker 9: Uh? You know? I just wanted to kind of hear
- 12:53Speaker 9: from Cowboys fans. You know, I stop here from all
- 12:57Speaker 9: of the anti Cowboys fans around me here they finally
- 13:01Speaker 9: stopped beating me up in texting, phone calls and telling
- 13:04Speaker 9: me how bad my team was. I guess after.
- 13:08Speaker 5: Sorry, sorry, how many weeks.
- 13:09Speaker 1: In a row?
- 13:10Speaker 5: I got to ask this, That's the thing, like people
- 13:13Speaker 5: do that. Are we talking about friends? Are we talking
- 13:15Speaker 5: about coworkers?
- 13:17Speaker 9: I mean being a friends, co workers, people that you
- 13:21Speaker 9: know that. I once was like, hey, we used to
- 13:24Speaker 9: work together, Hey lud do different things together, and now
- 13:28Speaker 9: maybe we don't, you know, talk as much. We kind
- 13:30Speaker 9: of catch up here and there. The catching up tends
- 13:33Speaker 9: to happen during football season, when hey, how about those Cowboys?
- 13:37Speaker 5: Man, guys going.
- 13:38Speaker 9: To the Super Bowl still, you know, Hey, how's this,
- 13:41Speaker 9: how's that twelve and five season coming along? You know,
- 13:43Speaker 9: like all kinds of stuff like that.
- 13:45Speaker 5: So yeah, I think you should respond with something like that.
- 13:48Speaker 5: You should respond with like, loose my number. Just send
- 13:50Speaker 5: them a text, just say no, you're good, and make
- 13:53Speaker 5: certain spell it that way. Loose loose my number.
- 13:56Speaker 3: All right.
- 13:58Speaker 9: I'm going to keep that one in my in my
- 14:00Speaker 9: in my bag, waiting to pull that out. But yeah, man,
- 14:04Speaker 9: it's it's it's been tough. You know, I've been listening,
- 14:08Speaker 9: you know, I I well, I listen all the time,
- 14:10Speaker 9: and I know it's like, you know, not trying to
- 14:12Speaker 9: you know, throw things, throw the towel in you know,
- 14:15Speaker 9: the season ain't over, things like that. But I kind
- 14:19Speaker 9: of didn't feeling the season's been over for a few
- 14:22Speaker 9: weeks now. Once I've seen kind of the offensive line.
- 14:24Speaker 9: It wasn't going to produce the way you know, I
- 14:26Speaker 9: kind of hoped, and how my fingers crossed tour, it
- 14:30Speaker 9: doesn't seem like it's it's going to happen no matter
- 14:33Speaker 9: who's behind center, no matter who's behind who's in the backfield.
- 14:37Speaker 9: But I definitely think with the way things are, you
- 14:40Speaker 9: got to let more players play. There's no reason to
- 14:44Speaker 9: why Zeke went, Why Zeke's back this week playing, should
- 14:47Speaker 9: have just stayed with Cook. Still think that this should
- 14:50Speaker 9: get some play. I'm glad to see Hunter Lefty playing
- 14:55Speaker 9: a lot more.
- 14:57Speaker 2: You know.
- 14:59Speaker 9: Yeah, well, man, it's tough. It's tough. I don't want
- 15:03Speaker 9: to start talking about the draft and next season and
- 15:06Speaker 9: all of that stuff. But I got to stay hopeful
- 15:09Speaker 9: for next year. And then I'll just keep on plugging
- 15:13Speaker 9: along and watching this this this season and you know,
- 15:16Speaker 9: hope for a few few more good wins. But I
- 15:20Speaker 9: think going into things thinking ten and seven is a possibility,
- 15:24Speaker 9: you know, a wild card and then let's just see
- 15:27Speaker 9: what happens in the playoffs is pretty far fetched. And man,
- 15:32Speaker 9: I just really hope it's Jerry and all the top
- 15:37Speaker 9: heads that he's in there with day in and day out.
- 15:39Speaker 9: Really just kind of take a hard look in the
- 15:42Speaker 9: mirror about you know, the ways that kind of the
- 15:44Speaker 9: team is constructed, and you know what what the real
- 15:47Speaker 9: long term outlook is. Because still the whole Jonathan Mingo
- 15:51Speaker 9: trade is just still puzzling. Don't understand that at one bit,
- 15:58Speaker 9: you know, it's it's tough, Nick, but I'm gonna keep
- 16:02Speaker 9: listening and let's stick together. Man. You know, I'm looking
- 16:05Speaker 9: for some good insight for me. Man, I feel like
- 16:07Speaker 9: you always stay really balanced in all your responses. You know,
- 16:11Speaker 9: you're high with the team, but you keep a perspective
- 16:14Speaker 9: when they're high, when they're low, you keep the same
- 16:16Speaker 9: perspective and don't get too low. So I'm looking for you, man,
- 16:20Speaker 9: for today and the rest of the season.
- 16:21Speaker 5: So keep it up, all right, Thanks, I appreciate that.
- 16:24Speaker 5: I'm a yeah. I mean, you try to try to
- 16:28Speaker 5: keep keep a balance there, and you know, I understand.
- 16:32Speaker 5: You know, I feel like I understand kind of both
- 16:36Speaker 5: sides of this. You know, I'm obviously with the organization
- 16:39Speaker 5: with the team. I get that that perspective. I understand
- 16:43Speaker 5: some of the sensitive topics there. But also at the
- 16:46Speaker 5: same time, you know, you're a fan. I've been a fan.
- 16:48Speaker 5: I get it, and I'm a fan of my own team,
- 16:51Speaker 5: so I kind of understand. I mean, I see some
- 16:53Speaker 5: of those things and I can kind of put myself
- 16:55Speaker 5: in the same realm there, and so I'm a little
- 16:59Speaker 5: bit different than than some fans because, like I, yes,
- 17:06Speaker 5: big picture is great, but I kind of keep it
- 17:10Speaker 5: moment to moment, you know. And uh, and so I'm
- 17:12Speaker 5: looking for the win this week, trying to figure out
- 17:15Speaker 5: how to win this game, this game, you know, so,
- 17:17Speaker 5: and and whatever it is is what it is. I
- 17:19Speaker 5: will never You'll never hear me say yeah, but if
- 17:22Speaker 5: they just lose, they get the they get the seventh pick,
- 17:25Speaker 5: and if they win, they're gonna get the eleventh pick.
- 17:27Speaker 5: All right, well, then go then go get DeMarcus Ware
- 17:29Speaker 5: with the eleventh pick, you know, or go get Micah
- 17:32Speaker 5: Parsons or whatever. I mean, like it happens. I'm not
- 17:36Speaker 5: one of those draft gurus. Just just go win, Just
- 17:39Speaker 5: play these guys, let them play well, see if you
- 17:41Speaker 5: can build some some some kind of confidence in them,
- 17:44Speaker 5: because that's certainly lacking and some of the confidence in
- 17:47Speaker 5: some of these players. Ronnie in New Jersey Morning Morning.
- 17:53Speaker 5: What's up?
- 17:54Speaker 6: Uh?
- 17:55Speaker 10: Nick?
- 17:55Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about.
- 17:59Speaker 10: That trade, that that Mingo trade.
- 18:02Speaker 7: I thought that was a bad trade.
- 18:04Speaker 10: I know last week I saw I thought that you
- 18:06Speaker 10: you were actually on on the side you agree with
- 18:10Speaker 10: that trade A fourth round pick?
- 18:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate it.
- 18:13Speaker 5: I don't hate it. No, I don't love it. Ronnie
- 18:15Speaker 5: I don't love the trade, but I don't hate it,
- 18:17Speaker 5: and that's what a fourth round pick is. I've loved
- 18:20Speaker 5: some fourth round picks. I've hated some fourth round picks.
- 18:22Speaker 5: Fourth round so it's too early. I don't know how
- 18:26Speaker 5: what have you not liked about the trade?
- 18:29Speaker 10: To me, you got to see in the direction the
- 18:31Speaker 10: team is going right now, that fourth round pick is
- 18:34Speaker 10: going to be a high fourth round pick. And you
- 18:36Speaker 10: gave a four front pick for a player that that
- 18:39Speaker 10: was the second round pick, that was a backup that
- 18:41Speaker 10: couldn't get on the field. Like if you would have
- 18:44Speaker 10: told me you would have gave up a six, maybe
- 18:47Speaker 10: a six or fifth for a guy that's actually playing.
- 18:50Speaker 10: The guy could even get on the field. Their their
- 18:54Speaker 10: star receiver got traded for like a sixth round pick
- 18:56Speaker 10: or fifth round pick, whatever it was, and you give
- 18:58Speaker 10: a fourth there number one I forget his name. I
- 19:03Speaker 10: don't know the Panthers that well, but the number one
- 19:05Speaker 10: guy got traded for like a fifth or six, and
- 19:10Speaker 10: we traded for Mingo for for fourth. I mean you
- 19:13Speaker 10: got to look at the year like, yeah, we're having
- 19:15Speaker 10: like this awesome season, and you know that fourfront pick
- 19:19Speaker 10: is gonna be like a late pick. Yeah, give up
- 19:21Speaker 10: a four front pick, give it a shot, but you're
- 19:23Speaker 10: giving it a shot. Or a guy that couldn't even
- 19:25Speaker 10: make it on the field on the team.
- 19:27Speaker 9: That's that's horrible.
- 19:28Speaker 10: They're they're actually worse than us.
- 19:31Speaker 9: Hard to think of.
- 19:32Speaker 10: But on the positive, Nick, I just wanted to say,
- 19:35Speaker 10: I like Awesome Richards. He looked really good out there
- 19:39Speaker 10: last night. Terren Steele. Yeah, is there a way to
- 19:45Speaker 10: get awesome to the right side? And Terren Steele, I
- 19:48Speaker 10: know he has a big contract, but heat is not
- 19:51Speaker 10: planning out. This guy has been looking back. Last year
- 19:54Speaker 10: we gave it. Oh you know, he had a torn
- 19:55Speaker 10: an cl he came back, you know whatever. But what's
- 19:59Speaker 10: the excuse this year because he's looking really bad. Yeah,
- 20:02Speaker 10: and I like play more young guys. So are young
- 20:04Speaker 10: guys are looking good. I think the more they play,
- 20:07Speaker 10: the better they're going to get. And you got to
- 20:09Speaker 10: see what you have for the future, right, so start
- 20:12Speaker 10: playing the younger guys. That's that's appreciate.
- 20:17Speaker 5: Thank you a lot of stuff.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Here.
- 20:22Speaker 5: Here's here's my thing about about the trade. Let's uh,
- 20:27Speaker 5: you know, let's see how how how this thing develops.
- 20:30Speaker 5: Like Mingo has to develop as a player, and so
- 20:34Speaker 5: they they obviously loved what they saw out of him
- 20:37Speaker 5: in the draft, and uh, you know, he's not that
- 20:40Speaker 5: far removed from that where where you can't you know,
- 20:44Speaker 5: you can't get him where you want to be. Now
- 20:47Speaker 5: he's got to be. I don't he doesn't have to
- 20:49Speaker 5: to live there, but he better be in that Dak
- 20:52Speaker 5: yard the next season, next offseason when Dak's there, he
- 20:56Speaker 5: better be one of those guys. He's got to be,
- 20:59Speaker 5: and hope he will. He's he's got some things that
- 21:02Speaker 5: he's got to develop in his game. Boy, yesterday when
- 21:06Speaker 5: you just see some of the routes they were running
- 21:09Speaker 5: and you're like, you know, this is this is where
- 21:11Speaker 5: you have a big, bulky wide receiver that's got to
- 21:14Speaker 5: be able to make some some plays and do that.
- 21:17Speaker 5: I'm not one that looks at Carolina and say, well,
- 21:19Speaker 5: you couldn't get on the field there. I mean, you're
- 21:23Speaker 5: taking it like they're so bad and you can't play
- 21:26Speaker 5: for them. This isn't basketball, this is football. Like as
- 21:29Speaker 5: a receiver, if you can't play there, they've got some
- 21:32Speaker 5: issues there as well, Like like there's a reason why
- 21:35Speaker 5: nobody's really shining there and I'm not even sure who
- 21:38Speaker 5: you're talking about that got traded. Maybe you were talking
- 21:41Speaker 5: about DJ Moore last year, but I again, I don't
- 21:44Speaker 5: know exactly. And you got to remember about the trades,
- 21:47Speaker 5: it's not about the player, it's about its contract. When
- 21:50Speaker 5: you're trading contracts, and so you have to pay a
- 21:53Speaker 5: little bit more for that. Cowboys getting a cheap player
- 21:56Speaker 5: that they think is good or do they think can can?
- 22:00Speaker 5: They've got the traits to do that, so that that's
- 22:02Speaker 5: what what they're excited for. And you know, and if
- 22:04Speaker 5: he can be that that guy, I mean you you're
- 22:07Speaker 5: talking about a high fourth round pick, and and the
- 22:10Speaker 5: Cowboys are very optimistic that that that they're going to
- 22:13Speaker 5: get a second round wide receiver for a high fourth pick.
- 22:15Speaker 5: You would do that all day long. Is he going
- 22:18Speaker 5: to be that? That's that's up to him. It's up
- 22:21Speaker 5: to the team. It's up to this offensive and whoever,
- 22:24Speaker 5: whoever's the coordinator next year, if they if they make
- 22:26Speaker 5: a change, whoever that is is going to you know,
- 22:28Speaker 5: develop him into that. And then awesome. Richards played okay,
- 22:35Speaker 5: played well from what I saw. I mean, I didn't
- 22:37Speaker 5: see a lot of issues there. Maybe if they want
- 22:40Speaker 5: to make a change. Maybe it's guiding to the right
- 22:42Speaker 5: side when he comes back a position he played in college,
- 22:46Speaker 5: and then you know you'd have a very expensive swing
- 22:49Speaker 5: tackle and Terrence Steele. But you know that's kind of
- 22:52Speaker 5: where where it is right now. Let's go to Brian
- 22:53Speaker 5: in Indiana. Oh, sorry, Brian's not with us anymore. Lester
- 22:57Speaker 5: in Minnesota.
- 23:00Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, I'm glad to see that.
- 23:03Speaker 8: Uh.
- 23:04Speaker 11: Austin Richards finally got some time on the field. I
- 23:07Speaker 11: thought he should have been on the field a lot sooner.
- 23:09Speaker 11: But one question about that. Did he start out and
- 23:12Speaker 11: see if he started or not, or did they just
- 23:14Speaker 11: put him in a little bit later?
- 23:15Speaker 9: He started?
- 23:16Speaker 5: He started for Guyton Goton did not play, was inactive
- 23:20Speaker 5: with an injury, so he started and they you know,
- 23:22Speaker 5: that's that's good for him because what it shows is
- 23:25Speaker 5: it shows his development was higher than then than wanting
- 23:30Speaker 5: to move Tyler Smith back to tackle and put t J.
- 23:33Speaker 5: Bass in there. That was never I talked to Tyler Smith.
- 23:37Speaker 5: He said that was never an option for this This game.
- 23:40Speaker 5: So awesome. Richards is you know, gotten to the point
- 23:43Speaker 5: where they like him there at left tackle and he
- 23:46Speaker 5: and I thought he played well. I I didn't study
- 23:49Speaker 5: those plays, but you know, we know when alignment's not
- 23:52Speaker 5: playing well, and sounds like he did play a pretty
- 23:55Speaker 5: good game.
- 23:57Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I think I know we got expensive right
- 24:02Speaker 11: tackle over there, But again, I think we should put
- 24:04Speaker 11: Austin Richard over there, like I said about three weeks ago.
- 24:08Speaker 11: But that's either here nor there. My Cowboys. Wow, I mean,
- 24:13Speaker 11: I don't there's so many holes there. I don't even
- 24:16Speaker 11: know where to start. But I will say that I
- 24:19Speaker 11: love the way the defense played for the first half,
- 24:22Speaker 11: and I think in the second and half they just
- 24:24Speaker 11: kind of got worn down a little bit. But that
- 24:29Speaker 11: looks like a good ray of light for us. And
- 24:32Speaker 11: as I always say, until we get a good, very
- 24:35Speaker 11: good offensive and defensive line together at the same time,
- 24:40Speaker 11: this is what we're gonna have. We're gonna have a
- 24:43Speaker 11: you know, this twelve and five season or this or whatever.
- 24:47Speaker 11: We're not gonna really go too much further than that.
- 24:50Speaker 11: And hey, I'm still a Cowboy, Frian, go Cowboys, all.

- 27:01Speaker 5: the phone lines. Rob in Vegas, Hey Nick, Rob, how
- 27:06Speaker 5: you doing good? And you what's up?
- 27:10Speaker 6: Oh?
- 27:11Speaker 2: Well, what's up?
- 27:12Speaker 10: I mean?
- 27:13Speaker 5: I mean what we're getting ready for Thanksgiving? What you're
- 27:16Speaker 5: getting yours, you're getting your getting your tree up.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Unfortunately, unfortunately it's it's just dysfunctional. I mean, this is
- 27:25Speaker 2: one of the most unlikable teams and dysfunctional teams. I
- 27:30Speaker 2: can remember you see guys laughing on the sideline. What
- 27:34Speaker 2: are getting blown out? You got the owner yelling about Curtains.
- 27:39Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, and Ronnie was right about the trade.
- 27:44Speaker 2: The trade was bad because of what he said. Somebody's
- 27:46Speaker 2: gonna get a really high fourth. The Cowboys do this.
- 27:50Speaker 2: They did this with trade Lance. It's like they think
- 27:52Speaker 2: they know better than the other teams, and most of
- 27:54Speaker 2: the time they do not. It's it was just a nightmare.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Cooper Rush looked like never seen a football. So I
- 28:02Speaker 2: agree with one of the callers. You played Trey Lance
- 28:04Speaker 2: the rest of the year and see what happens trading Micah, Listen,
- 28:10Speaker 2: you put anybody up, it's you, but you just don't.
- 28:14Speaker 2: You don't trade them to a good team because you're right,
- 28:17Speaker 2: you don't want a twenty seven, twenty eight pick. But
- 28:19Speaker 2: if Carolina says I'll give you two number one, well
- 28:22Speaker 2: you got to listen to it.
- 28:24Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's it's.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Just and and I know you don't want to talk
- 28:28Speaker 2: about it, but the only thing to talk about is
- 28:29Speaker 2: the future. This this season is dead, so you have
- 28:33Speaker 2: to move forward. It's not game by game that that's
- 28:36Speaker 2: out the window.
- 28:37Speaker 10: I like the other call, but that's.
- 28:38Speaker 5: Not the it's not rob because we're here, like we're
- 28:42Speaker 5: still here, is we're.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Gonna listen, We're gonna watch the game. I didn't, you know,
- 28:45Speaker 2: it's the first time I watched the game live in
- 28:47Speaker 2: probably twenty five years. I went, I went off roading,
- 28:50Speaker 2: and I recorded it and watched it. I thought they
- 28:53Speaker 2: would lose thirty.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Four to thirteen.
- 28:56Speaker 2: I was, you know, unfortunately, I thought the Eagles actually
- 28:59Speaker 2: felt there for them. It was embarrassing. They're they're no
- 29:02Speaker 2: better than Carolina. I mean, Kendricks should not be on
- 29:06Speaker 2: the field anymore. That that guy does not want to
- 29:08Speaker 2: hit anybody. He's just collecting a paycheck. And you should
- 29:12Speaker 2: fire Mike McCarthy because you should shake it up. Send
- 29:16Speaker 2: a message, Jerry, do something. Mike McCarty is dead man walking.
- 29:21Speaker 2: I've been saying, if he's gonna be gone, what are
- 29:23Speaker 2: you waiting for? What do you got to lose by
- 29:25Speaker 2: sixty I mean, if you keep, if you honestly, like
- 29:29Speaker 2: Jerry says, oh they got eight nine games left, and
- 29:32Speaker 2: you truly believe and you know that you have that,
- 29:37Speaker 2: you got to fire this guy and make Mike Zimmer
- 29:40Speaker 2: or whoever the instant coach and maybe somehow that that
- 29:44Speaker 2: shakes this team up. I don't I don't think it will.
- 29:47Speaker 2: But you just can't stay passed a watch, Watch what's
- 29:51Speaker 2: gonna happen Monday night? And watch what's gonna happen on Thanksgiving?
- 29:55Speaker 2: And what do you want? What do you want the
- 29:57Speaker 2: fans to do? We're always going to become fans, but
- 30:00Speaker 2: we're not dumb, we're not blind. This is an embarrassing
- 30:04Speaker 2: product that you put on the field, and this was
- 30:07Speaker 2: on you. You decided to not build on that thing.
- 30:10Speaker 2: You decided not to fire Mike McCarthy when you had
- 30:13Speaker 2: no intention, You had no confidence in this guy. You
- 30:17Speaker 2: showed it by not paying him. So you put this
- 30:19Speaker 2: drek on that.
- 30:20Speaker 5: You're talking about Jerry because you're talking to me Rob,
- 30:22Speaker 5: So you you want to mention Jerry, mention Jerry because
- 30:25Speaker 5: you keep saying you you're talking about Jerry, I'm.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Talking about Jerry doing all right? All right, this is
- 30:33Speaker 2: all Jerry's doing the GM. He's the water boy, he's everything,
- 30:38Speaker 2: and he built this team. He knew it wasn't going
- 30:41Speaker 2: to be better. But I've said it before he was
- 30:43Speaker 2: not gonna build around a coach. He was gonna fire.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Well then you should have did it earlier. So now
- 30:49Speaker 2: why don't you fire him?
- 30:50Speaker 11: Now?
- 30:51Speaker 7: What?
- 30:51Speaker 2: What?
- 30:52Speaker 5: What's the point was all rights?
- 30:55Speaker 2: Feel bad for Cowboy fans and uh listen, Cowboy fans.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Three soelves a favor, stay home and watch it.
- 31:03Speaker 5: No, no, no, all right, Rob, thanks thanks for the call.
- 31:06Speaker 5: Not not gonna again. We say it all the time.
- 31:09Speaker 5: Don't don't tell fans had a fan. I'm not gonna
- 31:11Speaker 5: tell you had a fan. Don't tell other fans how
- 31:13Speaker 5: to fan. Let's don't let's don't don't play that game,
- 31:16Speaker 5: and and and I know where you're going with that.
- 31:18Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think that's that's a I don't
- 31:20Speaker 5: think that's appropriate to actually say that. We we don't
- 31:22Speaker 5: do that. We don't put words in anyone's mouth on
- 31:25Speaker 5: what they should do and all that kind of stuff.
- 31:27Speaker 5: I don't. I don't agree with that. Like they they
- 31:30Speaker 5: can they can watch the games how they want to
- 31:31Speaker 5: watch it. You can record it like you did. You
- 31:34Speaker 5: can watch it. But you know, again, like the reason
- 31:37Speaker 5: why I say game by game is because that's what
- 31:41Speaker 5: we have to do. That's that's that's what we've got.
- 31:43Speaker 5: So we've got to kind of and understand the expectations
- 31:47Speaker 5: are different. I mean, yes, they they are. Now you're
- 31:50Speaker 5: you're I mean, the next time the Cowboys play at
- 31:52Speaker 5: the stadium, I mean, how about score a touchdown? That's
- 31:55Speaker 5: the expectation. Now they haven't scored one. You realize that
- 31:58Speaker 5: they've been outscored eighty one to fifty team the last
- 32:00Speaker 5: two games at home the Detroit in Philly. I mean
- 32:04Speaker 5: that's awful. I mean, you're not even scoring a touchdown.
- 32:09Speaker 5: And so that's the expectations are completely different now, and
- 32:13Speaker 5: I understand that, but I'm sorry for that. But we're
- 32:18Speaker 5: we're not gonna be talking about fans doing what whatever
- 32:22Speaker 5: they do. That's We'll let everyone make make the decisions
- 32:26Speaker 5: for themselves. And in my opinion, there all right, let's
- 32:28Speaker 5: go to uh coach Tyrone in DC.
- 32:32Speaker 8: What's up, Nick? How you doing that?
- 32:34Speaker 5: What's up?
- 32:37Speaker 14: Hey?
- 32:38Speaker 8: I'm words words Kid described how disappointed, upset, embarrassed. Last
- 32:48Speaker 8: night was embarrassment, man, Yep, it was an embarrassment, like
- 32:54Speaker 8: as a coach. As a coach, I understand, I understand
- 33:03Speaker 8: we have a bad season. I get that part. But
- 33:07Speaker 8: this is a product that cannot be. Yeah, it can't be.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, all right, what are we saying here?
- 33:21Speaker 8: Yeah, it can't be. It can't be.
- 33:28Speaker 9: All right, Oh, I understand.
- 33:32Speaker 5: What what's the worst?
- 33:33Speaker 12: What?
- 33:34Speaker 9: What?
- 33:34Speaker 5: What's the worst thing that that that that you're seeing
- 33:36Speaker 5: right now? Defense? Offense? Let's try to move this along.
- 33:39Speaker 5: What what? What do you think?
- 33:41Speaker 8: I think Mike mccausey's lost, he's lost the locker room.
- 33:47Speaker 8: Like I think he's lost the locker room. That's number one.
- 33:50Speaker 8: Number two, the worst thing that I'm seeing at this
- 33:55Speaker 8: moment is there's a lack of effort, Like you're not
- 34:01Speaker 8: even you're not even trying to win. You're not trying
- 34:06Speaker 8: to do anything. And then, and coaching has a lot
- 34:10Speaker 8: to do with it. You have to put your players
- 34:12Speaker 8: in the best possible positions. If you know, Donovan Wilson
- 34:17Speaker 8: can't cover anybody, why are you putting them in coverage?
- 34:21Speaker 8: That's crazy?
- 34:24Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy to me.
- 34:26Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I you're right, I mean there's some
- 34:32Speaker 5: this team is not better, they were not better than
- 34:35Speaker 5: the Eagles. That the talent isn't there. And you know,
- 34:39Speaker 5: I've got one play that I'd like to point out that.
- 34:42Speaker 5: I think it's just kind of the epitome of the
- 34:44Speaker 5: entire game. But I'll let you. Do you have any
- 34:46Speaker 5: more points that you want to.
- 34:46Speaker 8: Make, Yes, Nick, I understand what you're saying. They were
- 34:51Speaker 8: not They're not a better team than the Eagles. However,
- 34:56Speaker 8: they had opportunities to be better last night.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't put it all on the coaches, though,
- 35:01Speaker 5: I mean I put some of it, but not all.
- 35:03Speaker 8: I mean I don't put all of it. I don't
- 35:05Speaker 8: put all of it on the coaches. Another thing is
- 35:09Speaker 8: we got a guy that has been a staple in
- 35:13Speaker 8: our organization for a long time in Ezekiel Elliott, who's
- 35:17Speaker 8: also missed three according to reports, according to reports, Allegedly,
- 35:24Speaker 8: according to reports, he's missed three team meetings. Why is
- 35:29Speaker 8: he still on the team, then, why does he get
- 35:32Speaker 8: an opportunity this week when he didn't get to get
- 35:36Speaker 8: an opportunity last week? And then when he gets his
- 35:40Speaker 8: opportunity he fumbles.
- 35:43Speaker 5: I can't give you a good answer for that one.
- 35:45Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you. I don't understand how that works.
- 35:49Speaker 5: And I think I think you're right.
- 35:52Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy made that he made the decisions in order
- 35:55Speaker 8: to ditch him last week, but he's playing this week.
- 36:00Speaker 8: That has to come from somewhere.
- 36:03Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you.
- 36:06Speaker 8: It's problem. You're they're losing Nick, They are losing people.
- 36:14Speaker 8: You are losing people because I'm ready to jump ship.
- 36:18Speaker 5: Now.
- 36:18Speaker 8: I'm only ready to jump ship because guess what, until
- 36:22Speaker 8: something else changes. Because this is my point and I'm
- 36:26Speaker 8: gonna leave it here. I've been to ox Start twice
- 36:32Speaker 8: in the past two years. I've been to I went
- 36:36Speaker 8: to Dallas last year for Thanksgiving. I'm a school teacher.
- 36:42Speaker 8: I spend a lot of money to patronize this product,
- 36:49Speaker 8: and this product is not giving back anything that's deserving
- 36:57Speaker 8: of my money.
- 37:00Speaker 5: Okay, all right, coach, appreciate the call.
- 37:05Speaker 8: Keep doing what you're doing.
- 37:07Speaker 5: Thank you. You know you can make the argument, you know.
- 37:12Speaker 5: I mean, you could argue that all day long. Has
- 37:14Speaker 5: it has it ever? Has it ever given back enough?
- 37:17Speaker 5: I mean, I'm and I'm with you on that. I mean,
- 37:20Speaker 5: I I know because again, like I said before, I'm
- 37:23Speaker 5: a fan of a team as well. I've paid money.
- 37:25Speaker 5: I fly to places, I go to games, I buy tickets.
- 37:28Speaker 5: I do all that and and you know, do you
- 37:31Speaker 5: do you get that kind of same feeling back probably,
- 37:35Speaker 5: you know, because it's worth it. It's obviously worth it
- 37:38Speaker 5: for for fans to do it. Right now. It's a
- 37:40Speaker 5: frustrating time, and I completely get that the product on
- 37:44Speaker 5: the field is not is not good enough. Here's an
- 37:47Speaker 5: example of what I was saying in the game. And
- 37:50Speaker 5: and again, the coaches are at fault two right before
- 37:56Speaker 5: the half. It's seven to six. You've got to stop
- 37:59Speaker 5: them field goal ten to six. You're still in it.
- 38:03Speaker 5: I mean, you're in it either way, but you've got
- 38:05Speaker 5: to stop him here. And it's I think it's third down,
- 38:09Speaker 5: and Mike Zimmer calls a blitz from overshown, who's in
- 38:14Speaker 5: the second level at linebacker. You've got to be a
- 38:17Speaker 5: fast player in an extinct you know, you got to
- 38:21Speaker 5: get your instincts just right in your awareness to make
- 38:24Speaker 5: that blitz. And it was perfectly called. He called it perfectly.
- 38:27Speaker 5: It cleared, he made it. It was a absolutely great
- 38:31Speaker 5: play call by Mike Zimmer to get over shown there
- 38:35Speaker 5: from that spot to get to hurts and he missed them.
- 38:39Speaker 5: He missed them. I mean, that's just player versus player,
- 38:42Speaker 5: and he was your best player on the field, him
- 38:45Speaker 5: or Michael one A one B. He was amazing yesterday.
- 38:48Speaker 5: I'm not talking bad about Overshown at all. I'm just
- 38:51Speaker 5: saying they got a he was having a great game
- 38:53Speaker 5: and did have a great game, and there he is
- 38:56Speaker 5: to make the play. He comes flying in like a
- 38:58Speaker 5: silver bullet, miss stick and hurt. He made the play.
- 39:03Speaker 5: He was better than Overshown on that play. Touchdown. That
- 39:07Speaker 5: changed a lot. That's that was an example of you know,
- 39:10Speaker 5: I thought the coaches had had a nice game plan
- 39:13Speaker 5: on defense, for sure, had a nice game plan at times,
- 39:16Speaker 5: just when it came down to it to making plays.
- 39:19Speaker 5: That's one that they didn't. That was a costly play
- 39:21Speaker 5: on offense. I can't give you that. On offense. I
- 39:24Speaker 5: didn't agree with a lot of the calls that we
- 39:27Speaker 5: saw there and and and the scheme and the plan.
- 39:30Speaker 5: And I can't tell you a coach. I don't know
- 39:32Speaker 5: what's going on with Zeke. I don't understand that. I
- 39:34Speaker 5: don't understand giving him the ball down there at the
- 39:38Speaker 5: goal line like that. What a bad time for a fumble.
- 39:41Speaker 5: That's not his game. He's never been that way. I
- 39:44Speaker 5: couldn't believe the stat that he had never fumbled once
- 39:47Speaker 5: in the red zone, not just at the goal line
- 39:49Speaker 5: inside the twenty. He's never fumbled and lost a fumble
- 39:53Speaker 5: in his career inside the twenty. What a time to
- 39:56Speaker 5: make history. But but yeah, it's unfortunate. I'll second one.

- 41:43Speaker 5: season for their own standards, and I don't think they've
- 41:48Speaker 5: ever won at AT and T Stadium, so they are
- 41:50Speaker 5: not for a regular season game, so they're certainly going
- 41:53Speaker 5: to be liking their chops to get in here and
- 41:55Speaker 5: try to try to get this win. See if the
- 41:57Speaker 5: Cowboys can turn things around. Jeremy in DC is next. Jeremy,
- 42:04Speaker 5: what's up, Jeremy?
- 42:05Speaker 15: How you doing?
- 42:06Speaker 1: Ma?
- 42:06Speaker 5: I'm good you.
- 42:08Speaker 15: That's good man, I'm doing. You don't have to hurt
- 42:10Speaker 15: nobody today, did No.
- 42:12Speaker 5: I don't hurt anybody. I mean, you know, I mean again,
- 42:15Speaker 5: I say it all the time. Everybody. You know, they
- 42:18Speaker 5: fan in their own way. We don't. We don't do that.
- 42:21Speaker 5: Uh you know, we don't. So and I get it.
- 42:23Speaker 5: I mean, I totally understand the frustration. This is a
- 42:25Speaker 5: this is hard to watch. It's tough.
- 42:28Speaker 15: I mean, oh man, it's not gonna be good every year,
- 42:31Speaker 15: you know what I'm saying.
- 42:33Speaker 3: No, it's not mad, Yeah no, And it's not and
- 42:40Speaker 3: and and the league is designed for it not to
- 42:43Speaker 3: be this way.
- 42:43Speaker 5: It's designed this way. And they just could not have
- 42:47Speaker 5: any injuries, not the way that their depth was depleted.
- 42:50Speaker 5: They could not have injuries, and they did, and they
- 42:53Speaker 5: had some tough ones. And I'm not just blaming it
- 42:55Speaker 5: on that, because when you have injuries, you have to
- 42:57Speaker 5: be prepared. Your team has to be prepared, and they weren't.
- 43:00Speaker 5: You can't have running back.
- 43:03Speaker 15: He was down to like the fourth and fifth defense end,
- 43:05Speaker 15: the fourth and fifth cornerback.
- 43:08Speaker 5: Like, yeah, it's it's it's comical at this point. But
- 43:12Speaker 5: I mean, but again, I am not just saying it's injuries.
- 43:16Speaker 5: I'm saying that they they just didn't seem to be
- 43:19Speaker 5: prepared enough for these types of injuries, and it just
- 43:23Speaker 5: it's snowballed on them. It's not even cold.
- 43:27Speaker 15: Just to lighten up the mood a little bit, because
- 43:29Speaker 15: there was something else that I missed that everybody else did.
- 43:32Speaker 15: So like my favorite wrestlers, I got to I got
- 43:35Speaker 15: stone cold, and I believe you or somebody did a
- 43:39Speaker 15: podcast with my other one, which is Sting.
- 43:42Speaker 5: Oh yeah we did, Yeah, yeah, we we we did.
- 43:45Speaker 5: We had something. I love Sting too. Yeah.
- 43:47Speaker 1: He he came here.
- 43:48Speaker 5: I was about seven years ago. Maybe uh it was
- 43:52Speaker 5: a while ago, but yeah, he was here, and and
- 43:55Speaker 5: uh it was it was a it was the coolest thing.
- 43:57Speaker 5: I remember. Brian brought us, was working with us, and
- 43:59Speaker 5: he was sitting there. Brian had his feed up, he
- 44:01Speaker 5: had this little clicker, was watching tape and you walked
- 44:04Speaker 5: over in their sting with the whole makeup, the scorpion
- 44:09Speaker 5: face with the bat watching tape and Brian's breaking it down.
- 44:14Speaker 5: See the linebacker here is gonna move over here, and
- 44:16Speaker 5: I'm sting's just sitting there. I mean, it's why I
- 44:19Speaker 5: didn't take a video of that. I'm not sure, but
- 44:21Speaker 5: it was.
- 44:24Speaker 15: And so I got a questions, like, I know Mike
- 44:27Speaker 15: mcconfy's life running there yet, suite, but I'm like, can
- 44:31Speaker 15: he at least try to do a fake just week
- 44:34Speaker 15: once or twice, you know what I'm saying, Like a
- 44:36Speaker 15: play action pass or a crack tolls or something like
- 44:40Speaker 15: that off that yes week, Because every time he's giving
- 44:43Speaker 15: it to the wide receiver and they sniffing that out every.
- 44:46Speaker 5: Time, it's got to be a fake. Know, I'm with you.
- 44:48Speaker 5: I'm with you on that one. I mean, fake reversus
- 44:51Speaker 5: work too sometimes. I mean, yeah, it happens, and Colin's
- 44:56Speaker 5: happens in pro If you watch football, I know everyone
- 44:58Speaker 5: does this, but you see these plays and you're like,
- 45:01Speaker 5: I don't Cowboys ever run anything like that? You know,
- 45:05Speaker 5: And I know it happens a lot, but yeah, I
- 45:07Speaker 5: mean they they they are. It looks very vanilla at times,
- 45:12Speaker 5: and it's just not they're not changing things up that
- 45:14Speaker 5: the offense is definitely struggled, and that's why I think
- 45:18Speaker 5: there's got to be some kind of change here especially
- 45:20Speaker 5: And I'll say this is what Robin Vegas said. If
- 45:23Speaker 5: you're going to keep saying there's a lot of season
- 45:24Speaker 5: left and they are, then let's do something. Change something.
- 45:28Speaker 5: This isn't working, So fix fix something, changing something.
- 45:31Speaker 15: Like the offensive coordinator can actually call the play?
- 45:37Speaker 5: Why not? Why not? Why not do that? Why not
- 45:40Speaker 5: change it up, have someone else call a play, just
- 45:44Speaker 5: do something different. It's it's got to be because if
- 45:48Speaker 5: if you're not going to do something different, then then
- 45:50Speaker 5: you've got to make change. I mean, you know you've
- 45:53Speaker 5: kicked five field goals in the last two home games. Yeah,
- 45:58Speaker 5: it's bad. I mean that they played four home games,
- 46:00Speaker 5: they've lost them all, and three of them have been well,
- 46:03Speaker 5: they've all been blowout. Only Baltimore they kind of came
- 46:06Speaker 5: back to make it look close. That was a blowout too.
- 46:09Speaker 5: They've really been blown out in just about every home game.
- 46:12Speaker 5: All right, All right, Jeremy, And last.
- 46:15Speaker 15: Question, the last question real quick, and then I listened
- 46:17Speaker 15: to this one offline. So do you know how like
- 46:22Speaker 15: the trade will go? Like at the end of the season,
- 46:24Speaker 15: because I know, like Ulsa, Ulsa, he's on his last
- 46:27Speaker 15: he's on his last year. Is their way where like
- 46:30Speaker 15: if somebody wanted one of my first bibs on him,
- 46:34Speaker 15: is there a way where where you can like trade him,
- 46:36Speaker 15: like in the off season or something like that before
- 46:39Speaker 15: he hit free agency and that.
- 46:41Speaker 5: Was all thanks the other had, Okay, thanks for the call. Technically,
- 46:49Speaker 5: I think you could do that, but it's very, very
- 46:54Speaker 5: very rare. I don't think you would ever. Teams would
- 46:57Speaker 5: want to do that. They would, I know what you're saying.
- 47:00Speaker 5: And it's like, let's say the Packers like really wanted him,
- 47:04Speaker 5: they didn't want to fight through free agency. I think
- 47:06Speaker 5: their contract actually expires at the end of the season.
- 47:11Speaker 5: The Cowboys have the right to re sign him. I
- 47:14Speaker 5: do not believe they could trade. It's never happening. And
- 47:18Speaker 5: you really wouldn't see an agent do that or team
- 47:21Speaker 5: do that, because that's that's not acting in good faith
- 47:25Speaker 5: to be like, well, we're just trading him here. That's
- 47:27Speaker 5: what free agency is all about. So I'm pretty sure
- 47:29Speaker 5: those contracts expire, and if it's not a rule, it's
- 47:33Speaker 5: probably one of those unwritten rules you just don't see
- 47:35Speaker 5: that that happening. The trade deadline's over, So a guy
- 47:39Speaker 5: like Osa is going to just hit free agency unless
- 47:42Speaker 5: the Cowboys chose to resign him. But I would think
- 47:45Speaker 5: he would probably go to free agency and then they'll
- 47:49Speaker 5: go from there. All right, let's go to our DJ
- 47:50Speaker 5: in New Jersey. Last one. Hey, how are you doing?
- 47:56Speaker 10: Okay?
- 47:57Speaker 12: Good?
- 47:57Speaker 1: It's been a long time any way. Hey, I watched
- 48:02Speaker 1: the game last yesterday like most people did, and yeah,
- 48:06Speaker 1: I was frustrated. But I mean, here's my thing. I
- 48:11Speaker 1: how long how long do we continue to sit there
- 48:15Speaker 1: as fans? Because I'm gonna tell you something. I don't
- 48:17Speaker 1: agree with everything that Rob says in Vegas? But how
- 48:21Speaker 1: long do we sit there and continue to watch? Because
- 48:23Speaker 1: I know Jerry has to be watching, I know Steven
- 48:26Speaker 1: has been watching it. Mike make these generic plays that
- 48:30Speaker 1: just don't work, plays that the other teams are just
- 48:33Speaker 1: predicting are going to happen. How long do we continue
- 48:37Speaker 1: to keep watching this? It's not just the fact of
- 48:40Speaker 1: being a good fan, but if it's you suffer and
- 48:44Speaker 1: and and just like what Ronnie was saying, I think
- 48:46Speaker 1: it was Ronnie. I mean, I sometimes have to get
- 48:50Speaker 1: text messages from fans, and I know you're supposed to
- 48:53Speaker 1: gost to them and you know, just ignore them, but
- 48:56Speaker 1: it hurts, it really hurts them just to watch something
- 49:00Speaker 1: that you know doesn't make any sense. We had, we
- 49:03Speaker 1: had a good chance of winning that game in the
- 49:06Speaker 1: first first quarter. We had the energy, we had we
- 49:10Speaker 1: we had the mindset, and it's just like everything just
- 49:13Speaker 1: fell apart and there was just no adjustment. And what
- 49:16Speaker 1: we did to that poor kid, Carson, I mean, why
- 49:18Speaker 1: would you put somebody he looked, he looked like a
- 49:21Speaker 1: teenager out there trying to play football.
- 49:25Speaker 2: I just did.
- 49:25Speaker 10: I don't.
- 49:26Speaker 1: I just don't understand what was going on there. They
- 49:28Speaker 1: were eventually going to he was essentially going to get
- 49:32Speaker 1: beat at some point, and he did when it came
- 49:35Speaker 1: to that game, and it was gonna hurt us. I mean,
- 49:39Speaker 1: it makes it makes the digs play looks look like nothing.
- 49:43Speaker 1: It makes everything that Lewis does on the field look
- 49:45Speaker 1: like nothing. It even makes what Micah was trying to
- 49:48Speaker 1: do on the field look like nothing, because we just
- 49:52Speaker 1: can't seem to get it going. And yet we talk
- 49:55Speaker 1: about Okay, yeah, there's been a lot of changes, but
- 49:57Speaker 1: really has there been a lot of changes where Mike,
- 50:01Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is not the coach other than Zimmer. I mean,
- 50:05Speaker 1: Zimmer did his job in my opinion yesterday. But at
- 50:10Speaker 1: the same time, Mike, what is going on with him?
- 50:14Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, Yeah, what, What's what is happening? Why is
- 50:19Speaker 1: he Why is he doing this to CD? Why is
- 50:21Speaker 1: he putting them out there as a target. Anybody anybody
- 50:25Speaker 1: could watch and see that he was going to get
- 50:27Speaker 1: the ball. They just mauled him right right, Well, I
- 50:33Speaker 1: mean this is not who CD is.
- 50:36Speaker 5: Well, who would you who would you say? I mean,
- 50:38Speaker 5: you've got one playmaker on the team. Who's the next playmaker?
- 50:43Speaker 2: Well?
- 50:43Speaker 1: And see I get that, But see that that again
- 50:46Speaker 1: is Mike McCarthy's responsibility. You've got to work with what
- 50:48Speaker 1: you got.
- 50:49Speaker 5: I get that, And you're right, you were right about that.
- 50:52Speaker 5: And he's gotta, he's gotta. They've got to figure out
- 50:54Speaker 5: ways to get him going where. But that's what's happening
- 50:57Speaker 5: right now, is is that there's nobody else that that
- 51:00Speaker 5: that's stepping up. And that's I'm not just saying that's
- 51:03Speaker 5: not on the coaching I'm just saying that's where that's
- 51:05Speaker 5: the reality Jalen told this was the season for that,
- 51:10Speaker 5: this was the season to say we're not going big
- 51:12Speaker 5: in free agency again because we've got young players that
- 51:15Speaker 5: are going to take that leap. Jalen Tolbert is one
- 51:18Speaker 5: of them. Has he done that? I don't think so.
- 51:20Speaker 5: Jalen Brooks, Jake Ferguson, this was supposed to be the
- 51:23Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson goes to that elite level. I think he good.
- 51:27Speaker 1: He's good. But see, this is not an all in season.
- 51:31Speaker 1: See we were told that well from last year when
- 51:34Speaker 1: they lost against Green Bay. This is not an all
- 51:37Speaker 1: This is not have been an all in season. We
- 51:39Speaker 1: have not made contingencies for the things that have happened,
- 51:42Speaker 1: whether they be people that have gotten hurt or whatever.
- 51:45Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you.
- 51:47Speaker 5: Sorry, how about one we gotta go, guys, Let's go
- 51:51Speaker 5: on one more point. What do you got?
- 51:55Speaker 1: Mingo was lateral move? But is Overshan hurt? Is he okay?
- 51:59Speaker 5: I think shown's fine. We'll see. He did come back
- 52:03Speaker 5: and play in the game. He talked for almost forty
- 52:06Speaker 5: five minutes in the locker room. He seemed to be fine.
- 52:09Speaker 5: He talked about playing Houston next week. So I think
- 52:11Speaker 5: he's fine. I don't I'm not a doctor, of course,
- 52:14Speaker 5: but I I think he would be okay there. And
- 52:18Speaker 5: you know, the the Mingo trade, I mean it, that's
- 52:22Speaker 5: that's a two year thing. That's two years before you
- 52:25Speaker 5: really figure out what you know. We'll find out next
- 52:27Speaker 5: year of course too. But but you know, we'll see
- 52:31Speaker 5: if he can do some things. At the end of
- 52:32Speaker 5: this season. He should be able to play a lot.
- 52:34Speaker 5: There's no reason why he wouldn't be out there to play.
- 52:37Speaker 5: Get some good reps there and then and then you know,
- 52:39Speaker 5: see what happens next year. I I don't hate again.
- 52:43Speaker 5: I don't hate that move. I don't love it. We'll see.
- 52:45Speaker 5: It's it's too early to tell on on next year's
- 52:49Speaker 5: fourth round pick and and what this guy can can
- 52:52Speaker 5: do this year. All right, guys, we're going a little
- 52:53Speaker 5: overtime today. Thanks for the calls. A lot of good stuff.
