• 4:02
  Speaker 4: don't even know who he is, but he's a safety.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: But there's no way he's going to live up to
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Tony Dorset. They gave him number thirty three. Nick Vigil's
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: got Charlie Waters old number. Who Charlie Waters should be
• 4:13

• 4:15
  Speaker 4: throw that in there. Uh, Darius Harris number forty seven?
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Can he bucking the steps of Dexter Twining Scale?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow, yeah, you got it. You won't have a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: better name than Dexter Clay. I mean Dexter Klean Scale's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in the top five name of all time.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: You think so, I don't know, man, Carl Lawson is
• 4:32

  Speaker 4: famous eighty five in cowboys history?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Not a famous one?
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, now, yeah, let.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Me refras it. Can you give me a number eighty
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: five in cowboys history? I've got one particular guy in mine.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean I always say James Whitalan because he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: had one hundred numbers. So I'll say James Whitalon or
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: some guy named Thornton Chandler.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I remember Thornton said, no, man, you got to go
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: back to Fred Cornwell caught the winning touchdown pass against
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: the Houston Orders in nineteen eighty five. Yeah, man, I say,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I can go back. But the biggest one, man was
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: to score that game seventeen to ten.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: There you go. You're right, you're right.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Light on the dirt, played on the dirt in the astrodome.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: That's old.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Last one. Then I'll ask a serious question. Yeah, let's
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: go now, Taylin Carson number twenty one. There's a lot
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: of pressure on that young man. I mean, that's a
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: lot of pressure asking him to live up. Don't say
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: great to the great Doug Dennison.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, don't say Lynn Scott. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: knew you were going somewhere like that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: That's no man, Dad, the great Doug Dennison, your original
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: number twenty one. Remember Triger to three Super Bowl teams.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, remember when I said, this is the first show
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of the season, like that first practice day, like it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: football season. Then let's go. We're naming names we shouldn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: be talking about. Let's go. Let's go your serious question.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: You got one, Let's get serious. Okay, let's get serious.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I'm excited about the season, all right, but we all
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: know it's going to come down to what they do
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs. That's that's that's just going to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: the bottom line. So my question to here is is
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: all of these playoff failures the last twenty eight years,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: how much of it do you think is just talent
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: and they weren't the better team? And how much of
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: it do you think is mental just the mental pressure.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's thanks Gary. I think it's both. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: believe it it's both, and I think it's gotten more
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: with the pressure as the years have have gone on.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I think those you know, early ones, they weren't good enough,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you know, in certain cases, and then there's been some
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: some fluky things happening. And I know you people don't
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: want to say that, like, well you know that that's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: just an excuse. Well you can, you can say that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: if you want, But but there's just not that many
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: games in NFL history that have ended that way. And
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: when we're talking about just I mean, we're talking about
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: rule changes that have happened because of things that have
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: affected the Cowboys in the playoffs. I mean Tony Romo
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: dropped a snap in Seattle. They changed a rule on that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You can't just have ball boys just take open up
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the bag of a ball that's never been used before,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: never been scupped up, or anything shiny as hell, throw
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it out there and let you can't do that anymore.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: They have people in place that handle the kicking balls nowadays.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: If you catch the football and you move it to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: your other hand and you take three steps and then
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you die for the end zone and the ball pops out,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: maybe it hit the ground, maybe it didn't. That's a catch.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: That's a catch now, and it wasn't ruled that then.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: All I'm saying is is that they've had some weird
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: things happen in playoff games, that getting you know, hit
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: by the ref running in at the end of the game.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, just stuff happens. But the answer, more than
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: anything is that the head just haven't been good enough.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go off of that. They haven't been
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: good enough to be in situations to not have a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: bigger lead or be winning in late in those games.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: To let it come down to that. It's not an excuse,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: but you can't deny that weird crap has happened for
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys in playoff games. So it's a combination of everything.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: But I'll say it, they haven't been good enough. If
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they were good enough, you overcome some of that stuff.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You make those plays in the second, third, fourth quarter
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and you do it. You know, Creighton catches
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the ball, you know, in that game against the Giants.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So they've had some weird, weird moments. They've also just
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: not been good enough. And that's that's what it comes down. Tom.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to George in Delaware. I believe
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: this is first time caller. George. What's up, Nick?
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: How you doing?
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: It's Georgia and Delaware. I live in beach right near
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: right your sleepy Joe nice?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: All right, good to hear from you. First time.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're welcome, first time caller, All right, first time
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: all right.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: We'll get that cranked up here for you, because you
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: know that means here we go. Who's who's the big
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: who was the big teams in Delaware and who they
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: root for there? And for the most part, is it
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Patriots or Giants, Jets, Cowboys?
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: Who is it the three youth throughout there or not?
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: It's the Eagles. I'm squeezed in between the Skins, the
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: Eagles in Baltimore. I've got respect for Baltimore for not
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: for the other two.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, here we go, as I type into Chris, like
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: we got to get it. Here we go for this guy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Here we go. All right, George, what's up? Man? What
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: do you got?
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: I'm surprised they got through, So I'm a little bit unprepared.
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: So I just came up with I want to give
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: you a compliment. You do a great job. I'm a
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: little bit older than you. I'm fifty eight. So I
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: go way back to the seventies, and I remember crying
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: in the seventies when they got beat by the Steelers twice.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: But in the nineties, I went to all the games
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: that were local. I went to Pittsburgh, I went to
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: Philly and went to the Jets, Meadowlands, Skins of course,
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: but the worst thing and cowboy fans. You got to
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: be kind of courageous to go in some of those venues.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: But the worst place I ever was at was was
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: in Pittsburgh. Believe it or not. I saw I saw
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: some crazy fans, like cold talking people from behind old
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: old senior citizens in Pittsburgh. So Pittsburgh was the toughest.
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: When I tell people that story as compared to Philly
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: or the Skims, they're kind of surprised. But I was
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: wondering where the toughest place was has been for you
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: when you travel with the team, Nick, And thank you
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: for your thank you for taking my call.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you, George, And you know we've
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I haven't experienced a lot of that. I will say
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: this though, standing on the field at Veterans Stadium in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: two thousand, the Cowboys were playing I think, I think yeah.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham was the starting quarterback for the Cowboys that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: day against Philly, and we game went to overtime, and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I remember being on the field at the end of
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the game and it's weird stuff was happening there. And
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys lost that game. But I remember just something
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: just kind of hitting me in the back of the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: leg and I looked down and it was a battery.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And I'd always heard of about these they throw batteries.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Now this was a triple a battery that somebody chunked
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and didn't hit I mean, it just barely just kind
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of hit me in the foot or whatever. But I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: was thinking, like I thought that was kind of a myth,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but no, I really was the thing. And then a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: few years later, going to Philly in on the bus,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: just hearing like on the windows, just like six or
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: seven eggs just hitting the bus. That's about it. That's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: as far as that I can remember things like that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, nothing, nothing too crazy, but both in Philly, shocker.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go Champ in Nebraska, Champ. What's up? Yeah?
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Hey there, Hey here I am.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: Let's got the NFL Kickoffee Mick.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: We're going, We're ready to go. Yeah, it's football season.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Hey. So I listened to yesterday's show so much excited.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Everybody's pumped up, so much optimism, positive optimism, And I
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: hate to be the guy to get on here and
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: kind of bring it down a little bit. But personally,
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: I don't see those thirteen wins, twelve fourteen wins that
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: we heard about kind of thing that we're going to
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: be in that ten and seven range. But I think
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: we seek into the playoffs and I think maybe we
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: make a little noise there, battle tested, and we'll make
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: some noise this year. My question for you is every
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: day that's passing by with this that contract, not having
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: your extension? Does that worry you at all? Personally? Kind
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: of worries me a little bit every day thinking that
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: potentially the season starts he's not re signed. I know
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: they have the whole season get it done, but a
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: lot of times they say, you don't want to worry
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: about that during the season, just want to play. You
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: think if it doesn't happen by Sunday, percentages rise, he's
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: starting quarterback next year. I will hang up all right,
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: somebody else fall in and thanks listen answer.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Champ. I'll say this, Uh, do you I think
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I think the percentage goes up, you know, as the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: season goes on slowly. But I'll ask you this. Do
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you think that at some point Dak is going to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: whether he's at you know, the team hotel, in a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: game or leaving a game, or if he's out and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: about somewhere, do you think he'll sign any autographs by anybody?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Do you think he'll just like, oh, yeah, hey, Dak
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: signed my jersey. You think he'll do that? Okay, that's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: not going to change his focus on anything. He'll sign
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: an autograph, He'll do this, He'll take a picture. He'll
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: do that. That doesn't affect his his mental makeup for
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the Browns or the Saints next week or all that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: My point to that is is when the other guys
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: get it done, whether it be Jerry and Steven and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: his agent and all that stuff, when they get that
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: thing done, Dak, this is where, this is where we
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: need to be. Sign here, please, here you go. That's
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that's what he needs to do. So this whole talk
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: about focus and all that, DA's not in the meetings.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: He's not sitting there breaking it down. Guys. I'm sorry
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I missed the quarterback meeting today. I'm sorry. I'm we're
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: trying to negotiate it. That's not happening. That's not going
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to happen. He's when it's done, he'll sign it. They
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: know what they need to do, they'll get it done.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: If you want to worry, worry at Monday, if the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Cowboys lose and the deal's not done, start to worry
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: if you want to. I mean, I don't say I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: not suggesting it. I'm saying if that's when you want
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to worry, worry. I personally believe a deal will get
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: done before the season starts. I'm going to stick to that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: That's what I think, That's what my hunch has been
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: for a while. And I believe the deal gets done
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and if they if it doesn't, then it doesn't. And
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: if they win the game, you know, hey, it didn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: affect anything. But you can make that narrative if you want.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: If they lose the game, and now now you know
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what's the deal and all that stuff. But then again,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: if I know Cowboy fans, are any any any people
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: that cover the NFL, If they don't win the game,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he probably didn't play his best game. And then people
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: are gonna say, well, he doesn't need to be the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: quarterback anyway. So we know that's gonna happen. That's why,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: for that reason alone, I'd get this deal done. Just
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: so every interception, every touchdown, every play that happens isn't
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: tied to a contract. A three hundred and fifty yard
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: game in Cleveland with three touchdowns, no picks and a win,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the price tag just went up. Oh they should have
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: signed them. And if it goes the other way, it's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: going to be the same thing. We know that. For
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that reason alone, I'd get this deal done.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of text questions I want to read.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: This is from Bill from Pennsylvania. What do you think
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys record is going to be? Also? Do you
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: think Dak doesn't didn't have no trade clause? Will the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Cowboys be trying to trade Dak? Now? I don't believe that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're trying to trade him, and he
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: can he can waive that. I mean he can figure
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: out they could. He could get traded if they really
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: wanted to make that happen. I don't think that's the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: biggest thing there. What record? What's the record? I'm with
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the last caller that that kind of I'm in that ten,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: ten and seven, eleven and six range, and if it
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't go well, have a little bit more injuries, it
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: could be then the nine and eight. I still think
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this is a really good team. I think it's going
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to be close. I think these games are gonna be
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a little closer than they were before. I mean, you
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: saw the Cowboys with a stretch where they were kind
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of blowing teams out at home there, especially in the division.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I just think that games will be tougher. But I
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: like having a kicker that you can trust that it's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: gonna make kicks that could make long kicks, that that
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you could hit some pressure kicks. So games are going
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to come down to that, and you know that should
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: help the Cowboys when you when you have special teams,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think special teams is going to affect
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: this team. They've got a Pro Bowl kicker, you've got
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl punter, you've had a kick returner that's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: been in the Pro Bowl. New rules, and a dynamic
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: player and interpret and maybe do so. I think special
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: teams is going to affect a lot and I think
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that that'll help them win some games. I'm gonna if
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you ask me a number, I'll say eleven and six.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I'll say that eleven and six for this year. All right,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: another question, how about first show the season? Nick, do
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you have a regular season prediction? This is Mario in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: South Texas. I'm gonna say eleven and six. Good question there, Mario.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go Robbie and Coco Beach. A letter
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: on the phone line. Robbie, what's up today? Good morning?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: Let's go Cowboys? Man, new year, Let's go, hey.
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: Man, I asked you yesterday and I still still fumbled
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: around with that my only real concern. I mean, obviously
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: the rookies that we got on offensive line and linebacker, cornerback,
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: but I'm still worried about a running back rotation. I mean,
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: I wonder if you're still right if we don't have
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: them on the team yet. Yeah, I was really hoping
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: we to pick somebody up at the end of uh
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: as the cuts, you know, a free agent or something.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: And on drafted free agent, well.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I mean they got they got better than that probably
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and and and Dalvin Cook. I mean you wanted it
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: undrafted better than an undrafted free agent they got cut
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: by a stall, I mean, I mean better. You're talking
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: about a guy that didn't make his own team. I mean,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: at this point, you're going to be looking at, you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: just any just a player that that can you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that that's done it, that has some experience that can
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: maybe be in every down type guy.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: Uh and and I think he has.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: So, so okay, what what would be the option then
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: for you? What three down?
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: No?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, no, no, I'm but I'm not not
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in this. I'm saying. The point is is that there
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: isn't one there. There's not one sitting there for running backs.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Are just sitting there waiting for you. I mean, you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they're what they need to do to really fick to
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: find a running back. Block these guys up front, get
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: them blocked up front.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: Get if our line's good, we're gonna be good running back.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Da Rico Daddell could could could be a really good
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: looking running back if if if it's blocked well, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I think Zeke, I don't know if his explosiveness is there,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: but he's gonna do the dirty work for you. He's
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a guy, he's gonna play a lot more. He's gonna
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: be on you know, doing pass pro. I mean, he's
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a guy that you trust as a as a blocker.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna get this thing done. But as if
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: they block it up front, I think they're all gonna
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: have some success.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Alrighty, nick, I appreciate it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: All Right, l boy does well this season at center,
• 19:38

• 21:37
  Speaker 1: there in week two of the season when the Saints
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: come to town. But first things first, not to jump
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: ahead of anything, don't. We don't do that here. We
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: don't jump ahead to the playoffs or anything like that,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: or even week two. We don't have to. It's it's Wednesday,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: it's game week. We can talk about the Cleveland Browns
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and the matchups that the Cowboys are going to face there.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It's it's funny when when you when you think of
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that that team, I think the three players that people
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: probably think of the most or Miles Garrett number one,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and then you know, from a Cowboys standpoint, obviously you're
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: think about Marik Cooper being there and then and Deshaun Watson,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: maybe not in that order. But when you when you
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: you're like you're talking about what worries you? You got
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Cayln Carson there as a rookie never played before in
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's going to be facing uh those receivers,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: including Marii Cooper, one of the best route runners in
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: all of football, and then of course Miles Garrett there
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: at the at the edge rushing position. And you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: let's let's be honest about it. Okay, just just because
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: he's he moves to the other side and faces Terrence Steele,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we're good now, you know Terren
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Steel's I love Terrence Steel, but I mean he's gonna,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have his problems too, with with anybody.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean with anywhere that that Miles Garrett is.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Those guys are going to have problems. And that's something
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Dak is going to have to figure out every snap.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Where is he where's the protection, where's the help coming from,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and making sure that those guys are on the same
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: page of who's helping guiding or Steel or wherever that
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: guy lines up. All right, we got a question here
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: from Mark and New Jersey on the text line. Because
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I love the additions on the defensive line, why would
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the Giants trade as Jordan Phillips for almost nothing? I
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: wonder if there's something they know about him? That we don't.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that. I don't know for
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: sure or why it wasn't working out for him and
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: for them there and and you know these guys, let's
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you have to be honest about it, and you be
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: honest about most free agents that are out there or
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: in this case traded, you know, veterans that are traded.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's a reason why they let him go.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And sometimes it's money. Sometimes it's just scheme fit it
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. There could be a lot of things. But
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: let's not forget the fact that teams have signed Jordan
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Phillips and Linval Joseph here in the last few years,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and they've had them for one year. So got to
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: figure out why are teams not signing him and why
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: are teams continuing to sign him, you know, And and
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: that's that's the situation that you have to figure out
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: with all free agents. You know, you can you can
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: say the same for the guys that that that left.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's a reason the Cowboys didn't resign
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Tyler Baddish and Doran's Armstrong and and and those guys,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and there's a reason why they got They got money.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: So everybody kind of used it differently. Jordan Phillips. You know,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: it's it could be a scheme situation there for the Giants.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: They did sign him, but for whatever the reason, just
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: didn't it didn't work out, and so they I think
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a really good addition for for
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: this team. I what I saw from him in that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: preseason game against the Raiders, H had be encouraged of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: what they could they could have there in the middle
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: of the D line. All right, let's go to Jim
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: in Pasadena, California. Jim, what's up?
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick?
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: How you doing, man?
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: Man, how you good?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I'm fine. I'm talking defensive tackle partner. It doesn't sit
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: well with me that they got rid of Justin Rogers.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: He was picked in the seventh round, outplayed his draft position,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: showed up very well every preseason game, and then they
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: cut him. And it bothers me because if you draft
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: a position that you knew you weren't going to keep,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: he outplayed his draft picks, why waste to pick on
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: that position? And it doesn't sit well with me, and
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to make sense of it.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Go back again, you're saying he outplayed his draft position.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I think I think he played as a fifth or
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: sixth round pick in the preseason. He showed up better
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: than Maddie Smith did last year in the preseason or
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: even during the season, justin Rogers. If you go back
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: and look at end zone copy and I in the
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: sky copy. He did well this preseason. That's why Cincinnati
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: snatched him. So if you draft that position and no
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: matter how well he plays, you're gonna get rid of it,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: that's a wasted pick. Otherwise, this draft is gold. But
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I just don't understand that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you don't. You don't. You don't go
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: into the draft expecting to waste the pick. You you
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: expect him to go in there and play. And and uh,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I just I just think from what you saw and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: what this team saw was obviously different. I mean, I'm
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: not I'm not discrediting what you what you saw if
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: what you what you like is what you like. But
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: don't don't. Let's not forget that he had plenty of
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: opportunities because Mazzie Smith was was out. Some they they
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they ended up adding. Look what they added on the defensive.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I would say this Nick Brian brought us. He said
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: the same thing on the break. He just can't make
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: hids or tails of it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Okay again again, no disrespecting you or him. That they're seeing.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: They're seeing it more. They're seeing it more than what
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you guys are seeing. To the point where they felt
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: like they had to go get Lin Valdosa. They felt
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: like they had had to go trade for Jordan Phillips
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: they wanted. They ended up getting Hoskins there from you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: on the practice squad. He'll probably play some. So whatever
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: you were seeing there, they they decided to.
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: Wouldn't you agree?
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati saw the same thing. That's why he picked him.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: They plucked him off the free agency.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Is he is he on their is he on their rosters?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: On their practice squad? Okay, he's on the practice so
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: he's on the practice That means the he could have
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: been on the Cowboys practice squad as well, and he
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: either chose that or or or I don't know if
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys even put him on the practice squad, to
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, So.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: They didn't have a chance to. They didn't have a
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: chance to. He got plucked before you could listen.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Listen that that's Chris, Chris, Yeah.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: It is all I'm saying, is he out played at
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: seventh round pick to who I mean, let me, let's
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: put like this, who is the deepen at tackle they
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: picked last year, the guy that then went with Washington Redskins.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ridgeway two years ago, Bridgeway.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: He outplayed Ridgeway and they kept Ridgeway and until they
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: didn't put him on the practice squad and Washington plucked him. Well,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: all I'm saying is if the kid played well and
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: we kept me Chauncey Golson, what's he done. I know
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: they've played different positions. Chauncey's an end now, but holy cow,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: that was a third round pick few years ago.
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: Justin look good.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: If you just look at all twenty two, he looked
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: pretty dark good.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: They didn't agree, they they they didn't agree. I mean
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and and and and I don't know if you're an
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Auburn fan, I mean I don't I don't know what
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the what the the love there or for Justin Rodgers,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: but it and and that's another thing too. If you
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: if you kind of know the rules, then you know
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: that that'll help you with the conversations. But if you
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: don't know them all, if you don't know every part
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: of how the thing works. Then it's hard to have
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: an argument with with you on that because because that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: isn't true. What you're saying is they didn't have a chance.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: What do you mean they didn't have a chance. They
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: could have kept him on the team. They could have
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: kept him on the team. They didn't do that. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: then teams don't just pluck you off the They can't
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: take you from the practice squad and put you on
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the practice squad. It doesn't work that way. If you're
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: on the practice squad and they take you, they can
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: have to put you on the roster and you have
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: to stay there for three weeks. So it's not like
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it's a situation where you could just if the Cowboys
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: wanted Justin Rodgers on the team, he could have been there.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: He could have been on the team. That's not the case.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: That's he didn't outplay you thought so, And maybe you're
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: letting other people's eyes, you know, affect you. I don't
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: know the guys that have them in the meetings every
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: single day and watch every single snap of practice in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: four different angles, they don't view it that way. They said,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I need to get veteran help. We need to be
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: better here. Obviously when it comes down to playing. They
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: didn't want to put him in the game. No disrespect
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to him. They didn't see it the same thing that
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you see. So that that's fine, and the rules are
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that these other teams didn't just go and snatch him up.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: That's not the case. There were two players claimed off
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: waivers and they weren't him. They were two defensive backs.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: One of them was Eric Scott. He's already been cut,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: so they he wasn't claimed off waivers. He was put
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: on on the practice squad for the Bengals. All right,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: let's go to Maurice and Tacoma, Washington.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Nick, two days in a row. I'm
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: on a roll, buddy.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: There you go, keep it going.
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Hey, So a little bit more at that contract talk.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: First off, I think we should really sign him right away.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: I've seen him getting US twelve wins and at least
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: to the NFC Championship Game, and unfortunately, I think that
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: puts him closer to the seventy million dollar mark. But
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: I want to play a little bit of Tevil's advocates.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Let's say, for some reason, forbid, he goes down MISSUS
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: four or five games or just doesn't have a great season.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: Do you think Jerry decides to maybe just go ahead
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: and let him go, or do you think that maybe
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: that brings the price tag a little bit down on Dak.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: I'll hang up and listen to you, Bresident.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's one that you know, you don't want
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: to have to you know, you don't want to talk
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: about like scenarios like that that that that do change things.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's why again, that's why I think it's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: very important that that reason alone is why I think
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: it's important to to get get a deal done. If
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you're the Cowboys, you know Dak. I think Dak knows
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that the money's going to be there, that they'll get
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a deal done. If it's not there here, it'll be somewhere.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he feels very confident in that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and just the way quarterbacks get paid in this league,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and he understands that. Now, yes, there's some factors involved
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: during the season. That's why you want to get these
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: deals done because factors on both sides. The price tag
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: can go up or down depending on what happens and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the wins and the losses or injury and all that stuff.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to get into different scenarios. Well,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: it would go to this or that. I think we
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: all know that that if you let this thing go
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: into the season, you run the risk. You run the
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: risk of saying, well, you know, the tag could go
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: up if he plays really, really well, but that's a
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: good thing for you, in your in your team, your organization.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: It could go down if he doesn't play well. That's
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: not good for the team. It may be good for
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: long term. It's very cloudy. It's it's a cloudy situation,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and I we're to get ahead of it like that
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: means you got to get ahead of how the season
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: goes and who's winning and why are they losing or
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: why are they winning. Let's don't let's don't get into that.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: We we just know that if it's you run the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: risk if you don't sign him early on, and both
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: sides are running the risk, that's part of it.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Rob in Vegas. Rob, what's up?
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Nick? Hi?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Rob?
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Hey? Listen, Now, you can't blame justin Rogers agent for
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: doing his job. Listen, I never heard of somebody really,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: you know, fighting for a guy that I don't remember
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: what he did.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe Yeah, I don't know. Again, I don't, I don't.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: He didn't stand out to me. I don't know the situation.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: We don't think requsit that again, that that's fine. A
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: lot of talk about players that aren't on the football
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: team today. Let's let's focus on the ones that are.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: You know, look at this team. This team did everything
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: we've been asking. They got bigger, they got stronger in
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: the trenches, they got bigger. That linebacker digs is back.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: I think the key to the team, honestly is Tyler Geyton.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: We've seen what happens when we have a left tackle
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: that Dak doesn't trust. It speeds up his process. Things
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: don't go good. Bb is going to fight and Bibe
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: is able to get a little more help from two
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: great guards where there's going to be times where Guidon's
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: on an island. If Guidon could play good for very good,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: I don't see why this team can't be better than
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: last year. I think Ferguson should be better. You know
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: when you look. I know it's all on paper, but
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: people forget this is the second year now under the offense.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I think the light bulb went off in Dak's head
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: last year, and I just think now for whatever reason,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: it's like Keanu reason the matrix, he just sees it
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: now differently. I just think this team, if they stay
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: healthy knock Wood, I see this team being you know,
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: twelve and five again, just they're going to just do
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: it maybe a little different. I think running the ball,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I don't need a great running back. I just need
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: them to be efficient. Get me third and two. It'd
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: be nice to first and goal from the five and
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: just run it in. And I think we've always said,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: you know, the odditch, you know, good player. Know it's
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: funny when they leave the Cowboys all of a sudden,
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: now they look at him like he's Travis Frederick. Anybody
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: who leaves the Cowboys is always elevated. That's why you
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: hear these people on the ESPN all the Cowboys ain't
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: going to be good. They lost too many players. You
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: didn't think those players were good when they were on
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: the team, and now all of a sudden, So I
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: just think with all the shown back, I just think
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: they have a lot of parts. And listen, there's guys
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: that want to you know, the coaches want to prove
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Jerry wrong. I think you're right I think that gets
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: done in the next couple of days. I don't know
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: what this deal is, signing him the two years that's
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: that's that doesn't sound right. Why would you do that?
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: And that will be a flap of the face that deck.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: You know he's not going to do that. I think
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: it gets done in a couple of days. Fifty eight
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: million dollars or so. But yeah, I think everybody should
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: be excited. I think I think this team has a
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: good energy. They got a lot of young and they
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: still got some veterans. I just think they're all fighting
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: for each other. And now that you know they're fighting
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: for the coaches, the fighting, but that I just think
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: this team's got a good energy about it. I'm excited
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: to see what's going to happen.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good stuff there. Rob. I think you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: know I've said this before. That's why you were the
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: captain on the all storyline squad. A lot of people
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: look up to you. A lot of people look at
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you as the voice of reason on kind of you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I if from the fans perspective on on things on on,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're frustrated, then they they kind of
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: sense that. And but we all do. We all see that,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: but we love the optimism from the fans, especially this
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: time of year. And why wouldn't it be You're you're
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: talking about the players in free agency that are lost
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and all that. Just remember that somebody told me this
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: not too long ago about free agent deals, and I
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: think it's this is the way the Cowboys kind of
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: think is. You know, I've said this before on here,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: but the philosophy that they go by is average players
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: get good money in free agency, and good players get
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: great money in free agency. And great players never see
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: free agency. They don't get the free agency. Not not
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: here the Cowboys. So that's the point. If they felt
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: like they were losing a great player, they wouldn't lose them.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: They felt like maybe they were losing a good player
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: that's gonna get great money. They don't want to pay
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: a good player great money. So that's kind of when
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: you look at what happened in free agency. Yeah, they
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: lost a lot of in their mind, good players and
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: some of them average players that got a lot more
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: money than they were willing to pay. So all right,
• 37:29

  Speaker 1: com slash Fan of the Year, Go Cowboys. All right,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the next call? Actually, I have a text line question here.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: This is from Joe and Stanford. He says, I see
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Deuce Vaughan being used best as a first and second
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: down threat. He is a running back and should be
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: used that way. We will be surprised. Will we be
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: surprised on his workload early in the season. I can't
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: tell you if he's going to be active yet, but
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I think he will be. I think that they're gonna
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: use him as a as a kick returner. The way
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the rules are now, if you've really got to understand
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the rules, that this is one of the biggest rule
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: changes to the game that we have seen in a
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: long long time. Like we're talking about not tweaks here
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: and there with this, this is actually I mean the
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: alignment you've seen it, it's different, and we haven't even
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: seen the new wrinkles yet. And so there there's a
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: big difference just on how the ball is kicked. It
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: can go from the twenty, it can go to the thirty,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: it can go to the forty. If you don't get
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: it in that landing zone and get it out of
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: bounds or short of the landing zone, it's gonna be
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: at the forty. If you boom it out of the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: end zone, it'll be at the thirty. And if you can,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: if you can line drive it and roll it into
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the end zone from the landing zone into the end
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: zone and they down it there, that's the twenty yard line,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and that is ideal. Now you can have two returners
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: back there, or you can only have one. If you
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: only have one, as fast as Turpin is, you could
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: still probably angle it where it's bouncing around, and the
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: smart thing for him to do is probably just let
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: it go in the end zone. That's the twenty yard
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: line to prevent that. Two returners back there, and those
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: two guys I think will be Deuce and Turpin. Now
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: you have a decision to make. Do you want to
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: just kick it out of the end zone? Do you
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: want to kick it to one of them? See what happens.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I just think he's going to play to answer the
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: question as well. I think he needs to play where
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: he needs to play. It's not first down, it's not
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: second it's third downs, it's everything. If it's third and
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: nine and you think you've got a good play for him,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: do it. He needs to run the ball up the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: middle as well. He can't just be a trick guy.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: He's got to be a guy that does everything, or
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: nobody will we'll take any of that. Seriously. If he's
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: on the field and it's third and three, they want
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: to give him the ball up the middle. He can
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: do it. Now, He's not going to make a living
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: doing it, but every once in a while you got
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: to make him. Honest. I think he's in every down
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: back when he's out there. I'm not saying he's three downs.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: He just when he's out there. He needs to be
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: able to do what's asked of a running back, and
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I think to your point, I think he can do that.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Sean and Bakersfield, California. Sean, what's up man?
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: What's going on?
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: Nick?
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: How you been wonderful man? I just want to say
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: congratulations on the twenty five years.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 41:47
  Speaker 12: It's been a while since I called. But I just,
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: you know, hearing all this defensive line talk and everything,
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: you know, I just I wanted to make a point,
• 41:56
  Speaker 12: you know, about the line in general, on both sides
• 41:58
  Speaker 12: of the ball. I'm excited to see these rookies on
• 42:02
  Speaker 12: the offensive line push the defensive line, you know, I
• 42:06
  Speaker 12: want to see I'm excited to see how our running
• 42:08
  Speaker 12: game is, you know, finishing the ball in the one
• 42:13
  Speaker 12: yard line or you know, getting in the end zone.
• 42:15
  Speaker 12: I really think that the Cowboys improved offensively on the
• 42:20
  Speaker 12: line and defensively. You know, we finally got our tree
• 42:23
  Speaker 12: trunks in the middle of the defensive line, and I'm
• 42:27
  Speaker 12: excited to see our linebackers fly across the field. I
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: think we're gonna be a better defense than last year.
• 42:35
  Speaker 12: And I'm gonna say now, Nick, I really think Dak
• 42:38
  Speaker 12: Prescott is gonna be MVP this year. I just uh
• 42:41
  Speaker 12: the offense. Last year was the first first time with
• 42:44
  Speaker 12: Mike McCarthy, and he had a phenomenal season, and I
• 42:48
  Speaker 12: just think he's only going to get better. I think
• 42:50
  Speaker 12: people are sleeping on these these rookie receivers. I'm just
• 42:56
  Speaker 12: I'm more excited about this year. That's all I wanted
• 42:58
  Speaker 12: to say.
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: Nick Boys.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Sean. I'll say this, if you
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: think if anyone in the organization also thinks that Dak
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Prescott is gonna, you know, win the m v P
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: this year, you better get that contract done because I'm
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: telling you this, if he's the MVP of the league,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: you don't have a deal man. That's forget the sixties.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: You might be he might be setting all kinds of records,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: uh with with new deals and all that. But uh no,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I it's great to be excited about stuff.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: There's a lot, there's a lot to be excited about.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think, as Rob said, just a couple
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: of calls ago, you know, anything negative that happens, it's
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: it's easy to kind of pinpoint and say, well this
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: this happened. They lost this guy, and this guy got hurt,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: and now Deron Bland's hurt and all this stuff. I think,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: really when you just look at it, look at the
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: depth chart. Just go to the website and look at
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: the depth chart. Look at the team, Look what's on
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the look look at the backup players, look at you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: obviously your starters, and just go down the list and say,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: you know this, we've got talent here. I mean, there's
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: talent here. There's a reason why they've won twelve games
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: three years in a row. There's a reason for that,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: and a lot of those reasons are still here. So
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: there's there's some good things to be excited about. I
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: think the defense is going to be better. I think
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: that they Zimmer when he's when he's been a defensive coordinator,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: he's been good. He's been really good everywhere he's been.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: He's got guys in here that know his system. So
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot to be excited about there.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Derek in Seattle, Washington.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: Derek, Hey, in morning. They're good to listen to you.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: One of the reasons I'm super excited I haven't heard
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: much talk about it is the wide receiver room finally
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: has some juice. I mean, the last couple of years
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: it's been CD, and I mean Gallup could basically run
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: two routes, the long bomb down the sideline in the fade.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: But Tolbert Brooks and you throw in Turpin, you think,
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: I think the receiver room is getting overlooked. CD is
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: gonna be awesome. But we got three, four, five deep
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: now that the ball can be spread around and these
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: guys can make plays. Yeah, So I think the receiver
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: room is going to be really good this year.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you can credit as long as
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: CD comes back and there's no injury. I mean he
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: is back, but as long as he plays well, there's
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: no issues with any rust or anything like that, then
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: you can credit that and go. Man. The work that
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks got at training camp as the number one
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and the work that Brooks and Tolbert in Turpin and
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Flinoy got really helped them. So same as was last
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: year with Zach Martin and the guards that got more reps.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I think the case can be made. The receiver room
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: looks better. I don't know if there's like track Star speedsters,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: but there is guys that can get by the defense
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and that's really all you're looking for.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they can run a variety of patterns. And
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: I'm so tired of Gallop. He knew what he was
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: going to run. So all those guys can run. You know,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: they're interchangeable.
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a good year, man, A
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: good one, all right, you too, Thank you, big year
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: for Tolbert, Big year for Jalen Tolbert. Third year, he
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: needs to be that guy. That's what Michael Gallup was
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: third round pick from Colorado State and he's a third
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: round pick from South Alabama. This is your time, this
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: is your year. You need to do it and be
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: ready to go. And I think that that Tolbert has
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: done a lot of work in the offseason. He got
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of reps with with Dak and you can
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: just kind of tell that that they they're on a
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: different level too. Same with Brandon Cooks. Brandon Cooks might
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: might be looking to have a really big year. And
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: again there's there's not a lot of there's only one
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: football and throw around, so you know, but in Ferguson
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: you expect more from him too, so not everybody. You know,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: he's going to have a huge, huge numbers, but can
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: you make the play when it's time. In that game
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: against the Giants last year, what Cooks have like one
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: seventy That's what the Giants were giving them and that's
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: what they took. And you got to have guys that
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: can do that. There'll be games where Ferguson is the
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: one that's gonna keep getting the football and when that happens.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: You got to be able to exploit them. Last caller here,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: let's go Sebastian in Savannah.
• 47:10
  Speaker 13: Well, excellent timing. Good morning. How you doing, Sarah?
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Good Bud, how are you doing?
• 47:14
  Speaker 13: Doing real good? I'm gonna be quick because I know
• 47:16
  Speaker 13: you got to get out of here. I'm looking at
• 47:18
  Speaker 13: the schedule. I love the optimism of all the fans
• 47:20
  Speaker 13: given it the twelve and five for the fourth season.
• 47:23
  Speaker 13: I personally can't go there. I'm going about ten and seven, right.
• 47:29
  Speaker 13: I like that that with our schedule, the strength of
• 47:31
  Speaker 13: schedule this year, and I don't care what the record
• 47:34
  Speaker 13: is as long as we make it to the playoffs
• 47:35
  Speaker 13: at the end of the day. Really looking forward to
• 47:38
  Speaker 13: this first game here, I feel like there's gonna be
• 47:40
  Speaker 13: a lot of gelling that needs still needs to go
• 47:42
  Speaker 13: on because we haven't seen too too much in training
• 47:44
  Speaker 13: camp and there are a lot of moving pieces right now.
• 47:47
  Speaker 13: As far as the running game, We're gonna go up
• 47:49
  Speaker 13: against some teams with some decent secondaries too, So this
• 47:51
  Speaker 13: running game is going to have to eventually come to Ruth,
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: you know, so I'm giving us ten and seven. I
• 47:56
  Speaker 13: want to wish everybody happy weekend. And happy belated laborers.
• 47:59
  Speaker 13: Say if I caught in before and said that you
• 48:01
  Speaker 13: guys have a great day in.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: The month, all right, thank you appreciate it. Sebastian, Uh, yeah,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I mean the gelling part that that's that's that's something
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: all teams have to figure out. Because you're right, you
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: don't play as much in the preseason. Some teams played more.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I felt like there were teams that had their starters
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: out there more than than the Cowboys just saw that
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: more and and that's that's fine. That's kind of where
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: they are in their development. They needed to be out
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: there that the Cowboys have a different philosophy. We'll see
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: where where it matches in Week one with with with
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: the Browns, you know, they're they're a different team at home.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: I mean last year they were eleven and seven overall.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: They were eight and one at home and three and
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: five on the road. So eight and one at home,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: and one of those wins was against the forty nine
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: ers when they they looked really, really good at that
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: time of year, and they they beat them at home.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: And you know, their only loss I believe was to
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the to the Ravens, who handled them pretty well. But
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: they're obviously really good at home.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Week one is Cowboys in Town. It's gonna be, it's
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, amazing. So the challenge is there,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: especially when you have two rookie offensive lineman, one of
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: them being your center. Uh that this, you know, getting
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the calls down and hearing you know, doing all the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: silent counts. That's gonna be huge for for the Cowboys.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: All Right, those are things we can talk about tomorrow
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: as well. Appreciate Chris Beam running the board in the back.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman. We will see you tomorrow on Cowboys Storyline.
