- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:05Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, This's Cowboys Storyline with
- 0:16Speaker 2: Nick Eatman.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Friday, November
- 0:29Speaker 3: the eighth them Nick Eatman, It's time to talk Cowboys
- 0:32Speaker 3: Eagles one more time this week until see what happens here.
- 0:37Speaker 3: See if the Cowboys can turn this losing streak around,
- 0:40Speaker 3: if they can win a game at home, how about that?
- 0:43Speaker 3: If they can win another game with Cooper Rush? Can
- 0:46Speaker 3: they stop the bleeding with with what we've seen here
- 0:49Speaker 3: the last few weeks, really all season long, and if
- 0:52Speaker 3: the Cowboys can beat the dreaded Philadelphia Eagles.
- 0:58Speaker 1: All right? Eight A eight eight five five nine seven.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Injury wise, I think Micah Parsons is going to play.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I think Ceedee Lamb is going to play that that
- 1:07Speaker 3: both those look good. Zach Martin not sure about that
- 1:11Speaker 3: shoulder injury now has kept him out of practice two
- 1:14Speaker 3: days in a row. Thought it was it was more
- 1:16Speaker 3: of a rest thing on on Wednesday, but still did
- 1:19Speaker 3: not practice yesterday. We'll see if he practices or today.
- 1:23Speaker 3: They don't do a lot today, but see what they
- 1:25Speaker 3: put him on the injury report as TJ. Bass I
- 1:29Speaker 3: would imagine would get the start there at right guard.
- 1:33Speaker 3: We've seen him start a game already this year at
- 1:36Speaker 3: left guard. But and then you know Diggs is still
- 1:40Speaker 3: working with that calf injury. I think he'll he'll be fine.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Eric Kendricks looks like he's going to be able to play.
- 1:46Speaker 3: And the obviously the big one, Dak is not on
- 1:49Speaker 3: the not on IR yet, even though if they're going
- 1:52Speaker 3: to do that, I they're gonna put him on IR.
- 1:54Speaker 1: They got to put him.
- 1:55Speaker 3: On before well, I would think they would want to
- 1:57Speaker 3: put him on before the game to start the four
- 2:01Speaker 3: week window. But you know, if it's as bad as
- 2:03Speaker 3: some of the reports are saying, you know, I don't
- 2:07Speaker 3: think it's out of the question that he would need
- 2:09Speaker 3: surgery and maybe he doesn't play at all the rest
- 2:11Speaker 3: of the season.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Again, there's a lot of the weigh and all the
- 2:15Speaker 3: options and opinions right now, but I would imagine we
- 2:19Speaker 3: would see him on injured reserve here, probably sooner than later.
- 2:22Speaker 3: All Right, threw the phone number out, you see it
- 2:25Speaker 3: on the screen here. We got two callers already on
- 2:28Speaker 3: the line, so let's go right to it. Irene falls Church, Virginia.
- 2:31Speaker 3: What's up, Irene?
- 2:32Speaker 4: Hey, good morning?
- 2:33Speaker 1: How you doing good? How are you doing good?
- 2:36Speaker 5: Good?
- 2:37Speaker 4: All right, I'm breaking a few of my principles on
- 2:39Speaker 4: this call today, so I usually don't call in without
- 2:42Speaker 4: being caught up on the shows, but I'll make that exceptions.
- 2:45Speaker 4: I haven't had a chance to listen. I felt like
- 2:47Speaker 4: last week was a bad turning point. It reminded me
- 2:53Speaker 4: of the Miami game last year, except we have the
- 2:56Speaker 4: extra pain of losing Dak for you know, a few
- 2:59Speaker 4: at least few weeks, spend need a little period of morning.
- 3:03Speaker 4: I will catch up on the shows.
- 3:04Speaker 6: Don't worry.
- 3:05Speaker 4: I did see something on Twitter I think I agree
- 3:07Speaker 4: with That's let's see how these next two games play
- 3:10Speaker 4: out with Cooper Rush and try to see if something
- 3:13Speaker 4: can be turned around. And then if not, you know,
- 3:16Speaker 4: he use the rest of the season to evaluate who
- 3:19Speaker 4: you want to build the team around. Besides you know,
- 3:21Speaker 4: the big three, So you know my I don't feel confident.
- 3:26Speaker 4: I don't think we're gonna win these next two games.
- 3:28Speaker 4: I said I wouldn't call on the air and given
- 3:30Speaker 4: prediction if I didn't think they'd win. But I'm gonna
- 3:33Speaker 4: break that rule too. I see thirty one thirteen Eagles.
- 3:37Speaker 4: My hope is crashed anyway. All right, that's it.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Have a good one, all right, thank you.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's uh, that's kind of where things
- 3:48Speaker 3: are looking at least from the the thirty one part.
- 3:51Speaker 3: You know, the Cowboys are having a hard time keeping
- 3:53Speaker 3: people out of the end zone, and and and just
- 3:55Speaker 3: the way the way Philly's operating right now, and you
- 3:59Speaker 3: and you know, their offense coordinator Kellen Moore is looking
- 4:01Speaker 3: to uh score some points. I think that they're still
- 4:05Speaker 3: figuring out how to how to use these guys these
- 4:08Speaker 3: weapons with Barkley and Hurts and and and A. J.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Brown and DeVante Smith and Goddard. I mean, they they
- 4:14Speaker 3: really have a lot of weapons on offense, and so
- 4:18Speaker 3: they're they're coming together now. They're playing good football. And
- 4:21Speaker 3: uh yeah, Cowboys defense. We'll see what Micah could do.
- 4:26Speaker 3: But then again, Michael Parsons has not had great games
- 4:29Speaker 3: against the Eagles himself, so that that's something that that
- 4:33Speaker 3: he's got to, you know, play play well in this game.
- 4:35Speaker 3: And and Zimmer's got his hands full, but he's got
- 4:39Speaker 3: to figure out ways to to get, you know, to
- 4:41Speaker 3: get Michaeh Parsons loose where where he could be effective
- 4:44Speaker 3: because he hasn't always been effective against Philadelphia, they found
- 4:48Speaker 3: a way to kind of keep him at bay.
- 4:50Speaker 1: All right, let's go to champ in Nebraska.
- 4:53Speaker 6: Hey, man, how's it going good?
- 4:54Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 4:56Speaker 6: I'm wonderful man. Kind of chilly up here in Nebraska
- 4:58Speaker 6: to day, but that's where is up here.
- 5:00Speaker 1: All right.
- 5:02Speaker 6: Hey, So the last couple of weeks before the game,
- 5:06Speaker 6: you know, there's that little numb feeling of things aren't
- 5:10Speaker 6: going well, probably not gonna wind up well. And then
- 5:13Speaker 6: they didn't go well. So you deal with all that.
- 5:15Speaker 6: But you know you said the definition of insanity is
- 5:19Speaker 6: doing the same thing over and over again. Well, where
- 5:22Speaker 6: I am Friday after your last week's beat, and I'm
- 5:26Speaker 6: ready again. I'm like, here we go. I'm thinking this
- 5:29Speaker 6: is a division game. Anything can happen in division games,
- 5:34Speaker 6: especially Cowboys Eagles. So I don't know if it's that
- 5:39Speaker 6: insanity in me, but there's something in me that's telling
- 5:41Speaker 6: me we got a shot when the world's telling us
- 5:44Speaker 6: you don't have a shot. You know, you got to
- 5:47Speaker 6: back up quarterback and all that, but I think Cooper
- 5:50Speaker 6: comes out this week, and Cooper shows what we've seen
- 5:56Speaker 6: that he could start for a lot of other teams,
- 5:59Speaker 6: that dispecial if I never root for injuries anything like that.
- 6:02Speaker 6: That is awesome. The Cooper is fully capable. And I
- 6:07Speaker 6: don't know why. Maybe it's had insanity in me, but
- 6:10Speaker 6: I see us somehow.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Winning this game this week.
- 6:14Speaker 6: All right, good, I'm gonna give you a score prediction.
- 6:17Speaker 6: I'm gonna say twenty five two. I like those weird scores,
- 6:22Speaker 6: so twenty five twenty two. All right, no Cowboys, and
- 6:26Speaker 6: have a great weekend, guys. We'll talk to you next week.
- 6:28Speaker 1: All right, thanks? All right, Champ.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you say that the definition of insanity
- 6:36Speaker 3: is doing the same thing over and over again.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Well they're not doing that.
- 6:39Speaker 3: They're gonna start at Cooper Rush this week, and they
- 6:41Speaker 3: haven't done the same thing over and over because their
- 6:43Speaker 3: injuries keep piling up, so they haven't played the same
- 6:46Speaker 3: lineup over and over. But I understand what your point is,
- 6:48Speaker 3: and I know what you're making is that, and that's
- 6:50Speaker 3: what being a fan is all about. You You you
- 6:53Speaker 3: think it's gonna be different, You think you're gonna have
- 6:55Speaker 3: a different feeling. But by the time they get the
- 6:56Speaker 3: game gets here, you've kind of convinced yourself that, you know,
- 7:00Speaker 3: seen Cooper Rush have success and do this and.
- 7:02Speaker 1: That, and why not.
- 7:04Speaker 3: I mean it's I said this on the radio this morning,
- 7:09Speaker 3: why do you think the Cowboys have a shot?
- 7:11Speaker 1: And and I said, I don't.
- 7:13Speaker 3: You know, it's because the Browns beat the Ravens two
- 7:15Speaker 3: weeks ago, you know, division game, like like Champ was
- 7:19Speaker 3: just talking about. You never know the Browns aren't you know,
- 7:22Speaker 3: they lost their quarterback too, They got to back up
- 7:24Speaker 3: in They're not supposed to beat the Ravens, you know,
- 7:26Speaker 3: but but they do. They figure out a way and
- 7:29Speaker 3: and and weird stuff happens. And I think that's what
- 7:32Speaker 3: what's gonna have to happen in a game like this.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Weird stuff has to happen.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Uh, the Cowboys have to have some success early and
- 7:39Speaker 3: put a little pressure on the Eagles.
- 7:41Speaker 7: Uh.
- 7:42Speaker 3: But you know it's you've got to get the turn
- 7:45Speaker 3: You've got to get turnovers.
- 7:46Speaker 1: And that's another thing.
- 7:47Speaker 3: I mean, this team just hasn't created any turnovers. They're
- 7:49Speaker 3: not getting a lot of sacks, they're not getting a
- 7:51Speaker 3: lot of turnovers, and they're not getting short field and
- 7:54Speaker 3: given the offense an opportunity to get a gift. You know,
- 7:57Speaker 3: everything is nothing is easy. Even the touchdown, even an
- 8:01Speaker 3: easy pass to rico'daddle can't be easy. He's got to
- 8:04Speaker 3: drop it, it's got to get tipped, and it's got
- 8:06Speaker 3: to land back at his lap. I mean, that's just
- 8:09Speaker 3: the way this season has been. So they're gonna have
- 8:12Speaker 3: to get some some easy type plays for for things
- 8:15Speaker 3: like this to happen. All right, we do, guess, Chris,
- 8:20Speaker 3: do we have a caller? Lines are open right now,
- 8:22Speaker 3: at least one line is open. We do have a
- 8:24Speaker 3: caller now, Lester and Minnesota.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Lester. You're up, Hey, Nick, good how you doing? Guess
- 8:31Speaker 1: what Lester?
- 8:33Speaker 5: I'm doing?
- 8:33Speaker 8: Good man. I'll know from Minnesota. Is a little bit
- 8:36Speaker 8: chilly up here, but we used to it. The sun
- 8:39Speaker 8: is out today, but it might snow tomorrow. You never know.
- 8:43Speaker 3: But anyway, when did this show become mixed shots? Seriously,
- 8:47Speaker 3: where everyone wants to talk about the weather. We get
- 8:50Speaker 3: it's November, it's cold if if you you know what,
- 8:53Speaker 3: if it's California, it'll it'll be cool and be nice.
- 8:57Speaker 3: If it's Florida, it's probably gonna be hot ever, but
- 9:00Speaker 3: place else I imagine it to be called let's go, how
- 9:03Speaker 3: you doing, Lester?
- 9:04Speaker 1: What's up?
- 9:04Speaker 6: Man?
- 9:05Speaker 9: All right?
- 9:05Speaker 10: Man?
- 9:06Speaker 8: Hey, I heard that the president might not play. It
- 9:10Speaker 8: is a week, but.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Based off the news of the week, let's just you're
- 9:15Speaker 3: talking about Zach Martin. Yeah, okay, let's just let's just
- 9:20Speaker 3: say that, you know, there has been a there's been
- 9:22Speaker 3: some news in our world when comes to the actual president.
- 9:26Speaker 1: So Zach Martin may not Jack.
- 9:29Speaker 8: Martin might not might not play this week. And I
- 9:34Speaker 8: know we usually replaced him with baths, but I have
- 9:36Speaker 8: a question, what's going on with Austin Riches Man? Is
- 9:40Speaker 8: he a guard? Is he his tackle? And whichever one
- 9:44Speaker 8: he is, is he ever gonna like play?
- 9:48Speaker 1: Well?
- 9:49Speaker 3: I mean he's a He's a backup tackle, that's what
- 9:52Speaker 3: he is. And you know he he played the other
- 9:55Speaker 3: day when Tyler Guyton was out for about a series.
- 9:59Speaker 1: He did play.
- 10:00Speaker 3: And so you know he's he's your seventh offensive lineman
- 10:05Speaker 3: maybe right now, sixth or seventh. He's your backup. I
- 10:08Speaker 3: don't think he's a I don't think he's a guard.
- 10:12Speaker 3: I think he could play it in a pinch. But
- 10:14Speaker 3: but you know, they have Bass and Hoffman active every game,
- 10:19Speaker 3: so those would be your guards. He's your backup tackle.
- 10:22Speaker 3: He's a swing tackle right now. So and now we
- 10:26Speaker 3: have seen Tyler Smith kick out and and and TJ.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Bass in.
- 10:29Speaker 3: So when Geyton was out for a series, they did
- 10:32Speaker 3: not do that. They did not move Tyler Smith out
- 10:34Speaker 3: there and put TJ.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Bass in.
- 10:36Speaker 3: So that's that's a step up for awesome Richards. We've
- 10:39Speaker 3: also seen him as a tackle eligible play where he
- 10:43Speaker 3: came in reported you know, on time to the ref
- 10:47Speaker 3: reported and said, you know, and he was your your
- 10:50Speaker 3: sixth lineman of the you know, of the of the play.
- 10:53Speaker 1: So he's he's he's out there. He's just he's your backup.
- 10:56Speaker 1: That's what he is, all right.
- 10:58Speaker 8: Well, on the cowboy note, I think we should play
- 11:03Speaker 8: try to get some plays in for Trey Lance some
- 11:06Speaker 8: sort of way. Again, I don't know how much he's
- 11:09Speaker 8: practiced or not, but I was listening to the mixed
- 11:13Speaker 8: shots I believe in no, no, no, it was the
- 11:15Speaker 8: break I'm sorry. And the older gentleman, I forget his name,
- 11:19Speaker 8: he said that they should Derek because someone said, someone said,
- 11:23Speaker 8: well he hasn't practiced or whatever. He hasn't ran with
- 11:26Speaker 8: the out team or whatever, and he was saying the
- 11:29Speaker 8: older general was saying, well, you know what, they all
- 11:33Speaker 8: should practice all the time, no matter what, even if
- 11:35Speaker 8: it's after practice, they should get together. So I agree
- 11:40Speaker 8: with that. But anyway, what do you think about him
- 11:43Speaker 8: coming in the game this week here?
- 11:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't hate it, but like you said, thanks
- 11:51Speaker 3: for the call, Lester. I like you said, he's got
- 11:53Speaker 3: to be able to practice some of that stuff, and
- 11:55Speaker 3: you're talking about getting a backup quarterback ready that has
- 11:58Speaker 3: not practiced much this year. Now Cooper Rush is starting
- 12:02Speaker 3: to get a lot of the reps. So McCarthy mentioned that,
- 12:05Speaker 3: like there's only so many reps to go around. If
- 12:09Speaker 3: it works where they can implement him, I doubt we'll
- 12:13Speaker 3: see it this week. I think it might be something
- 12:16Speaker 3: that they work on a little here and there and
- 12:19Speaker 3: kind of get to that point.
- 12:22Speaker 1: But but maybe, you.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Know, I mean, it's because you got to remember, he's
- 12:27Speaker 3: got to be somewhat ready as the backup. He's got
- 12:29Speaker 3: to be ready to play. And if he is ready
- 12:31Speaker 3: to play, what would be the type of plays they
- 12:34Speaker 3: would they would throw him out there. And so you know,
- 12:37Speaker 3: if there's if there's a couple that that he runs
- 12:40Speaker 3: that he that he's good at. You know, you don't
- 12:42Speaker 3: have to trick it up with the trick play. You
- 12:44Speaker 3: just put him in the game like third and four.
- 12:48Speaker 3: He's your guy and he does a an r PO
- 12:51Speaker 3: or whatever that that could be more effective obviously than
- 12:54Speaker 3: than Cooper Rush. And maybe a little something they're not
- 12:56Speaker 3: they're not you know, used to seeing. I think I
- 12:59Speaker 3: think we could we could see that. Maybe not this week,
- 13:02Speaker 3: but but why not. I mean, you know, you've got
- 13:06Speaker 3: the Eagles. You've got to pull out all the stops.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Maybe you see a little bit more on on the
- 13:11Speaker 3: next game because it is you. You would get an
- 13:14Speaker 3: extra day because it's a Monday night game, so they're
- 13:16Speaker 3: going to get an extra day of practice. So maybe
- 13:18Speaker 3: that might be something that they would see. But we'll see,
- 13:23Speaker 3: we'll see what what what happens there? All right, let's
- 13:26Speaker 3: go to Zach in Atlanta.
- 13:29Speaker 10: Hey, what's up? Nick?
- 13:30Speaker 1: How are you good? How are you doing?
- 13:32Speaker 10: I'm good man. Ready for the weekend? Ready for Cowboys
- 13:36Speaker 10: Eagles on Sunday. This is a playoff game, this is
- 13:39Speaker 10: a super Bowl. In a season like this, doesn't get
- 13:42Speaker 10: any better than an opportunity to beat the Eagles. I
- 13:46Speaker 10: don't know why I feel like I have so much
- 13:48Speaker 10: more disdain for the Eagles than our other divisional opponents.
- 13:53Speaker 1: But it's because that's it. That's why it's the fans.
- 13:59Speaker 3: Because when you when you find that classy Eagle fan,
- 14:05Speaker 3: you won't, that's the thing.
- 14:06Speaker 1: You just won't. You won't find you won't.
- 14:09Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah man.
- 14:15Speaker 10: So it'll be uh, you know, they're always fun games,
- 14:18Speaker 10: even when we're rolling out of backup QB. I mean,
- 14:22Speaker 10: you know, a couple of years ago we we put
- 14:24Speaker 10: up a fights. I think we lost by maybe just
- 14:27Speaker 10: over a possession, but yeah, man, here for it. It'll
- 14:31Speaker 10: be fun. Continue to get these young guys some reps.
- 14:37Speaker 10: You know, we we are a draft and developed team,
- 14:40Speaker 10: and so we're betting on ourselves and the front office
- 14:43Speaker 10: is betting on it though with some of these young guys.
- 14:45Speaker 10: So hopefully we have some fun with it and see
- 14:49Speaker 10: some good even if we lose, see some some good
- 14:52Speaker 10: punches with the bully. You know, you just want to
- 14:54Speaker 10: get a few in and say, all right, you know
- 14:56Speaker 10: that was something to build on for uh this here
- 15:00Speaker 10: and next and all that. So the only question I
- 15:04Speaker 10: have is you know, a couple of years ago, we
- 15:08Speaker 10: enjoyed the twenty fourteen season DeMarco Murray balling out, and
- 15:13Speaker 10: then he signed with the Eagles, and so I always
- 15:17Speaker 10: like to look at who we're playing and which player
- 15:19Speaker 10: played for both teams, and so I felt like that
- 15:23Speaker 10: was a punch in the guy. I was in college
- 15:25Speaker 10: and I was like, man, this this feels like the
- 15:27Speaker 10: best team of my fandom in the twenty fourteen season,
- 15:31Speaker 10: and then our workhorse goes to a divisional opponent. So
- 15:37Speaker 10: what was that like in the locker room? Any stories
- 15:39Speaker 10: of DeMarco Murray? Does it feel bitter when teams in
- 15:45Speaker 10: the locker room at per se? Does it feel bitter
- 15:48Speaker 10: when players go to other teams? Obviously Sae Kwon went
- 15:50Speaker 10: from the Giants to the Eagles. You know that's a
- 15:52Speaker 10: recent development. But anyways, DeMarco Murray, I'll leave you at that.
- 15:56Speaker 10: I don't think the Cowboys win, but it would be
- 15:58Speaker 10: a fun one.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Have a good one, all right, thanks man.
- 16:01Speaker 3: You know you got to remember DeMarco Murray was the
- 16:04Speaker 3: NFL Offensive Player of the Year in twenty fourteen. I mean,
- 16:07Speaker 3: he had like eighteen hundred rushing yards. He broke all
- 16:10Speaker 3: of the records. It it was the most rushing yards
- 16:13Speaker 3: ever in a season by a Cowboys player, you know,
- 16:16Speaker 3: breaking Immits records and all that. And then and then
- 16:19Speaker 3: he goes to free agency. You know, they did that
- 16:22Speaker 3: whole whole contract. I mean that whole season, and he
- 16:25Speaker 3: was a free agent and they offered him like five
- 16:29Speaker 3: million a year or six or it was. They stuck
- 16:33Speaker 3: to their guns and they said, Nah, it's not really him.
- 16:36Speaker 3: It's our offensive line. It's our offensive line, it's our offense,
- 16:40Speaker 3: it's it's Romo, it's not really DeMarco Murray. We'll pay
- 16:44Speaker 3: him this, but that's it. And the Eagles and other
- 16:47Speaker 3: teams were like, oh, we'll pay him more than that,
- 16:48Speaker 3: and so he left. So it really wasn't a slap
- 16:53Speaker 3: in the face for the Cowboys as it probably was
- 16:57Speaker 3: for DeMarco Murray to have a year that he had.
- 17:01Speaker 3: And it was an odd season and when you think
- 17:03Speaker 3: about it, just because he had eighteen hundred yards, but
- 17:06Speaker 3: he fumbled like once a game. It felt like, at
- 17:09Speaker 3: least for the first half of the season, he was
- 17:10Speaker 3: fumbling every game, at least once having a great game
- 17:13Speaker 3: and then fumbling. He fumbled in the playoff game. If
- 17:16Speaker 3: you remember the des Caught It game, huge play in
- 17:19Speaker 3: the third quarter where he was wide open and had
- 17:22Speaker 3: a runner up the middle, and I think it was
- 17:25Speaker 3: Peppers that knocked the ball out. He had a chance
- 17:28Speaker 3: to have a huge play in there, and that could
- 17:29Speaker 3: have changed the game. So I think there was a
- 17:32Speaker 3: thought that his stats are great, but it was more
- 17:35Speaker 3: of a product of the system, and that they could
- 17:37Speaker 3: pay someone else and.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Look at that situation.
- 17:42Speaker 3: He went to the Eagles, he had like eight hundred
- 17:44Speaker 3: rushing yards that year, maybe six hundred. He didn't have
- 17:46Speaker 3: a great year. Darren McFadden comes in, he plays, you know,
- 17:52Speaker 3: half the season and gets a thousand yards or eleven
- 17:54Speaker 3: hundred yards. So I think they were right about that call. Now,
- 17:58Speaker 3: he did go to the tight that make the Pro
- 18:00Speaker 3: Bowl a couple years later, and all that stuff. So
- 18:03Speaker 3: good player, good good player, and had some really remarkable
- 18:06Speaker 3: games and season seasons.
- 18:09Speaker 1: For the Cowboys. All right, let's go to break. How

- 20:20Speaker 3: phone lines. Michael Bowling, Green, Kentucky.
- 20:23Speaker 13: That's up, all right? Why are you doing that?
- 20:25Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
- 20:27Speaker 13: How's a family?
- 20:28Speaker 1: Great? Great, wonderful?
- 20:30Speaker 13: Thank you, that's always awesome. I can't remember his name
- 20:34Speaker 13: now Tony the three oh eight Nebraska champ. What's a champ?
- 20:42Speaker 13: I want to give a shout out to chant three
- 20:44Speaker 13: eight Nebraska love to call. I feel the same way
- 20:49Speaker 13: he does. Irene. She must have bumped her head. Sometime
- 20:54Speaker 13: she'll be all right. Early Sunday evening, I would imagine,
- 20:57Speaker 13: And uh, I just want to get a prediction. I'm
- 21:01Speaker 13: gonna say so sound familiar. Twenty five to twenty two, Dallas.
- 21:07Speaker 13: I'm going I'm I'm all in with Champ. That's all
- 21:11Speaker 13: I get.
- 21:12Speaker 1: All right.
- 21:12Speaker 3: When I hear a score like that, I always really
- 21:16Speaker 3: this is how my thanks for the call, Michael. This
- 21:17Speaker 3: is how my brain works when I hear when I
- 21:20Speaker 3: see a score or hear a score, my first thought
- 21:24Speaker 3: is to think of any game that happened in Cowboys
- 21:27Speaker 3: history or whatever with that score. So when this was
- 21:30Speaker 3: twenty five twenty two, I was like, okay, like maybe
- 21:34Speaker 3: I had a couple of my mind. It was like
- 21:35Speaker 3: that's kind of weird, but whatever. We moved on to
- 21:37Speaker 3: the next call, and then I'll hear it again twenty
- 21:40Speaker 3: five to twenty two. What comes to mind is a
- 21:43Speaker 3: nineteen ninety seven game against the Cardinals, like in Week
- 21:47Speaker 3: two of the season when they're supposed to win and
- 21:49Speaker 3: they got beat by the Cardinals, and I want to
- 21:51Speaker 3: say it was something like that, twenty five to twenty two.
- 21:55Speaker 3: You don't get a lot of twenty fives, Chad hintings.
- 21:58Speaker 3: I think scored a touchdown that they did not win.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Twenty five twenty two. That's an interesting score. Seems like
- 22:05Speaker 3: a lot of field goals maybe, which is kind of
- 22:07Speaker 3: what this team does. All right, Carolina in Carolina, what's
- 22:11Speaker 3: up going on?
- 22:12Speaker 6: Nick?
- 22:13Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 22:15Speaker 14: I'm actually consensations today, but you know I got to
- 22:17Speaker 14: represent South Carolina, all right, So I'm.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Just gonna call you Texas in what's up? Texas?
- 22:22Speaker 5: No?
- 22:22Speaker 14: No, no, no, those Texas noex but oh man, I'm
- 22:28Speaker 14: just shying.
- 22:28Speaker 5: Man, It's Friday.
- 22:30Speaker 14: On the way home to go put my jersey on,
- 22:33Speaker 14: my custom cowboy shoes I wear to the landa game,
- 22:37Speaker 14: you know, my bucket hat and go hear these Eagles fans.
- 22:41Speaker 14: Get on my nerves. That's about to happen, man. Yeah,
- 22:45Speaker 14: I made a promise that hey, when we play, I'll be.
- 22:48Speaker 1: There, Carolina, get on their nerves.
- 22:53Speaker 14: Oh I am. I'm gonna make sure I'd be very obnoxious.
- 22:57Speaker 14: I'm pretty good at that when it comes in.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Yeah, so who cared all that talking about the bullies
- 23:04Speaker 3: and all this stuff.
- 23:05Speaker 1: No, no, let's hit Why don't we hit them in
- 23:08Speaker 1: the mouth.
- 23:09Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, I think I think at some point,
- 23:11Speaker 3: and I hope it's Sunday, I think it's I think
- 23:15Speaker 3: every team has enough is enough moment in the season
- 23:19Speaker 3: or whatever, and maybe this is it. Maybe, I mean,
- 23:22Speaker 3: this is kind of the way the NFL works, and
- 23:25Speaker 3: so I'm sorry. Maybe you guys are convincing me. Uh
- 23:28Speaker 3: not Irene, but everyone else. I'm starting to think that,
- 23:32Speaker 3: you know, maybe the Cowboys will bring a little something here.
- 23:35Speaker 3: I just feel like the pressure is kind of off.
- 23:38Speaker 3: They're just gonna go play your quarterbacks out and sometimes
- 23:42Speaker 3: those those teams can be dangerous teams.
- 23:45Speaker 1: We'll see and.
- 23:47Speaker 14: Look, I'm hoping though it. Man, I would like I
- 23:49Speaker 14: would like to be for five. I would like to
- 23:52Speaker 14: be for five. It's already bad enough. I don't need
- 23:55Speaker 14: no more loss to the cob.
- 23:58Speaker 8: Now.
- 23:59Speaker 14: What I'm thinking is, so I'm thinking Michael Parks is
- 24:01Speaker 14: gonna you know, he's not gonna be one hundred percent
- 24:03Speaker 14: back as far as you know, is what do you
- 24:08Speaker 14: call it conditioning?
- 24:09Speaker 5: Conditioning?
- 24:10Speaker 14: But if he can bring that morale and get those
- 24:14Speaker 14: guys in the in the in the front of the
- 24:15Speaker 14: defense to play hard, I think we might have a chance, man,
- 24:20Speaker 14: And I'm gonna go. I think we're gonna be I'll
- 24:24Speaker 14: go twenty eight to I'm gonna go twenty eight, twenty one.
- 24:30Speaker 14: In in fact, thirty thirty one, twenty eight, that's what I'm going,
- 24:34Speaker 14: thirty one, twenty eight calier.
- 24:36Speaker 1: You got anymore? We just keep throwing out the scores
- 24:38Speaker 1: of the game.
- 24:40Speaker 14: Yeah, thirty one, twenty eight.
- 24:43Speaker 1: All right, thirty one Aubrey wizay b our field goal.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Love it all right? Thanks for the call. Carolina in Carolina.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Who's actually in Texas, but don't call him Texas because
- 24:54Speaker 3: he's really in Carolina even though he's not this week.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Got it? Love it all right? Go to Chris in
- 25:01Speaker 1: San Angelo.
- 25:03Speaker 15: Hey, mister Nick, hope you're doing well today?
- 25:05Speaker 5: Sure?
- 25:05Speaker 1: Doing great? How are you good?
- 25:07Speaker 15: I'm great? Thank you of the weather here is no
- 25:10Speaker 15: I'm just kidding.
- 25:11Speaker 5: I'm kidding.
- 25:13Speaker 15: I cut myself off.
- 25:14Speaker 6: I'm kidding.
- 25:15Speaker 15: Hey, Uh, just a couple of things I was I
- 25:19Speaker 15: was kind of thinking about this earlier. Do you think
- 25:21Speaker 15: that there is a besides like Aubrey who is an
- 25:26Speaker 15: obvious pro bowler this year for the Cowboy I'm trying
- 25:32Speaker 15: to I was thinking maybe c d maybe uh Smith,
- 25:36Speaker 15: But I was I was kind of actually having problems
- 25:39Speaker 15: trying to think of who is who is actually a
- 25:42Speaker 15: standout player on this team.
- 25:45Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's hard. It's hard to say
- 25:50Speaker 1: that right now.
- 25:50Speaker 3: You know, receivers are always tough to figure out because
- 25:53Speaker 3: they they've got a lot of staffs. I would think,
- 25:55Speaker 3: see these stats are going to be up there, uh
- 25:58Speaker 3: for him? But yeah, I mean, I don't this this
- 26:04Speaker 3: would be the year Zach Martin. Maybe maybe not.
- 26:08Speaker 15: The perennial isn't isn't a thing to be up to
- 26:11Speaker 15: snow now And you know.
- 26:13Speaker 1: And this is why.
- 26:16Speaker 3: This is probably it for Zach Martin. Like I really
- 26:19Speaker 3: believe he's going to retire after the season. It's the
- 26:21Speaker 3: way the contract was kind of set up for him
- 26:24Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, or at least last year
- 26:26Speaker 3: when when he had to hold out. This is this
- 26:29Speaker 3: is going to be because when you had when you
- 26:31Speaker 3: are playing at the highest of high levels for your
- 26:35Speaker 3: entire career, you know, when when when do you stop?
- 26:38Speaker 3: Will you stop when you can't do that anymore? When
- 26:41Speaker 3: you can't play at that level? And you know right
- 26:45Speaker 3: now he still has more Pro Bowls in his career
- 26:48Speaker 3: than he has holding penalties. That is a phenomenal stat
- 26:52Speaker 3: that I hope it stays the same.
- 26:55Speaker 1: I hope, I hope, I hope he can.
- 26:56Speaker 3: He can finish it off. What a great stat line
- 26:58Speaker 3: that would be for him. But but yeah, and.
- 27:01Speaker 15: I've seen and I've seen a lot of his holding
- 27:04Speaker 15: calls air quotes that looked a little bit more like
- 27:07Speaker 15: a pancake block than a holding call back in the day.
- 27:10Speaker 15: But that's you know, that's seen through my eyes.
- 27:13Speaker 5: So there you go, And I guess.
- 27:16Speaker 15: For a pick, Okay, I'm kind of tired of getting
- 27:19Speaker 15: burned by this, so I'm going to pick the Eagles
- 27:22Speaker 15: to win twenty seven to twenty four, and maybe they'll
- 27:28Speaker 15: show me. You know what I mean.
- 27:30Speaker 1: You're saying you haven't picked well when you picked the
- 27:32Speaker 1: Cowboys to win.
- 27:35Speaker 15: Well exactly, So I mean, don't don't keep I mean,
- 27:39Speaker 15: if you have a shredder up there, that's what you
- 27:41Speaker 15: need to do with the picks that I've that I've
- 27:43Speaker 15: made so far. So just gonna just gonna change it
- 27:46Speaker 15: up a little bit and there you go.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Twenty seven, twenty four asterisk got it?
- 27:52Speaker 15: Yes, yes, sir, Yes, that's it.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Chris, appreciate buddy.
- 27:57Speaker 9: Have a good day, all right?
- 27:58Speaker 1: All right, Ruben in Wyoming where it's cold. What's up?

- 28:14Speaker 1: and everything. Thank you, Chris. How you doing good?
- 28:19Speaker 5: Good?
- 28:20Speaker 1: I don't know, if.
- 28:22Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 28:23Speaker 1: We have a lot of callers from Wyoming this year.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Good stuff. So what's going on?
- 28:28Speaker 3: That's where the cowboys are, right, I mean the real cowboys,
- 28:30Speaker 3: the Wyoming Cowboys.
- 28:31Speaker 5: I would think I would think there's.
- 28:33Speaker 1: A lot of cowboy fans in Wyoming.
- 28:35Speaker 5: Oh there is, there is, There is a lot of it.
- 28:39Speaker 1: All right, what do you got.
- 28:42Speaker 9: Oh?
- 28:43Speaker 5: I was just calling? Uh I feel I feel the
- 28:45Speaker 5: cowboys got it with Cooper Rush. I've been a fan
- 28:48Speaker 5: of his since he first got in the league.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, turn your turn your computer down or whatever,
- 28:56Speaker 3: because I hear myself, I don't.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Need to know this stuff again.
- 28:59Speaker 5: Yeah, don't worries. There you go.
- 29:01Speaker 1: All right, So you got faith in Cooper Rush?
- 29:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I do. And uh, hey, Michael Park.
- 29:12Speaker 1: You cut out Michael Parsons.
- 29:16Speaker 5: Yeah, Michael Parsons is uh, he's coming back, and I
- 29:21Speaker 5: think he's gonna have him a three fat game. Are
- 29:27Speaker 5: you there?
- 29:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm waiting on you.
- 29:30Speaker 5: Yep, yep. I think Michael Parson's gonna have him a
- 29:34Speaker 5: three sack game and Cooper Rush is gonna take it
- 29:37Speaker 5: down the field. It might not, it might not be.
- 29:43Speaker 5: Oh man, this phone's cut now.
- 29:45Speaker 1: All right, all right, Ruben, I appreciate the call. Thank you.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Uh, we got some we've got issues on your first
- 29:50Speaker 3: time caller wasn't the best, but let's try it again,
- 29:53Speaker 3: try it again next week. Good hearing from you. Good
- 29:58Speaker 3: hearing from the state of Wyoming. Sure, maybe we've got
- 30:01Speaker 3: to get the phone lines a little bit better. Maybe
- 30:03Speaker 3: it's us, maybe not. All right, Let's go to Randy
- 30:07Speaker 3: in California.
- 30:09Speaker 16: Hey, what's going on, Nick?
- 30:11Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 30:12Speaker 8: I'm doing great.
- 30:13Speaker 9: Friday.
- 30:14Speaker 16: Just got off work, so I'm gonna go my weekend
- 30:16Speaker 16: his cowboys.
- 30:18Speaker 1: It's like eight thirty in the morning. He's got off work.
- 30:20Speaker 1: You're you're working nights.
- 30:22Speaker 16: Yeah, I do graveyards, so I just got off for
- 30:23Speaker 16: twelve hours ship.
- 30:25Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
- 30:26Speaker 16: Respect, respect, gotta do what you gotta do, though, brother.
- 30:30Speaker 1: No doubt.
- 30:31Speaker 16: Hey, I was gonna say, uh man, I got out
- 30:35Speaker 16: one more time because I kept trying to call it.
- 30:37Speaker 16: I was like, this is my last time, and I'll
- 30:39Speaker 16: just give up a minute. As soon as I hit
- 30:41Speaker 16: that last time, I started ringing, Oh, thank you.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Don't quit on that team, Randy.
- 30:45Speaker 5: You know what.
- 30:46Speaker 3: I've seen the clips of that over the internet. I
- 30:49Speaker 3: don't know about people quitting on their team. I'm glad
- 30:52Speaker 3: you didn't quit on us and you called us back.
- 30:55Speaker 5: Yeah I did.
- 30:56Speaker 6: I kept going, I can't going.
- 30:57Speaker 5: That's all you can do.
- 30:58Speaker 16: And I was gonna say, I want to give you.
- 31:01Speaker 17: My prediction of the game.
- 31:02Speaker 16: I figured I think bill it outfield will win twenty
- 31:04Speaker 16: eight fifteen. Aubrey will make all the points, five field goals,
- 31:09Speaker 16: and I know it's harsh. And then I want to say,
- 31:12Speaker 16: my favorite wrestler because I never got to do this before,
- 31:14Speaker 16: is so Coach Boston. And then my all time favorite cowboy.
- 31:19Speaker 16: It's gonna be tough.
- 31:20Speaker 18: I'm gonna have to go.
- 31:21Speaker 16: I might have to go with Jason way In. And
- 31:22Speaker 16: that's the bottom line.
- 31:25Speaker 3: Because Randy said, so I love it, except for your
- 31:29Speaker 3: twenty eight to fifteen.
- 31:31Speaker 1: That would be a tough man.
- 31:34Speaker 3: That that sounds horrible because twenty eight to fifteen, say
- 31:39Speaker 3: say that that that happens, and I do not have
- 31:42Speaker 3: a score of twenty eight to fifteen in Cowboys history.
- 31:44Speaker 1: I can't. I can't even recall any fifteen.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Other than but twenty eight to fifteen means that the
- 31:52Speaker 3: Cowboys are moving the ball like you're getting in the
- 31:56Speaker 3: you know, five times to kick a field goal. Now
- 31:58Speaker 3: I understand you you only have to get past half
- 32:01Speaker 3: you know, midfield, just to get in fieldal range for Aubrey.
- 32:05Speaker 3: But still, I mean you're in position to kick five
- 32:07Speaker 3: field goals. That would be a frustrating game. That would
- 32:10Speaker 3: be a game where the Cowboys would have chances to
- 32:12Speaker 3: win and you just not. I mean the imagine two
- 32:15Speaker 3: of those are touchdowns. You know, you're you're you're within
- 32:19Speaker 3: a within a one score game. So you know, I
- 32:22Speaker 3: hope that doesn't happen. I hope the Cowboys can figure
- 32:24Speaker 3: out a way to get into the red zone and
- 32:26Speaker 3: score and and you know, get some touchdowns. I mean,
- 32:30Speaker 3: these these guys that it can't just be CD and
- 32:34Speaker 3: I know that's why they traded for Mingo. And I
- 32:36Speaker 3: don't think he'll be ready to go this week. I
- 32:38Speaker 3: mean maybe he plays, I don't know, but but he's
- 32:40Speaker 3: not be ready to contribute. But these guys have to
- 32:43Speaker 3: have to be playmakers too. You know, Tolbert Turpin, you
- 32:48Speaker 3: know the tight end, Ferguson. This this is I think
- 32:51Speaker 3: a big game for Ferguson. I mean, Ferguson really has
- 32:54Speaker 3: to has to be a guy. And I liked what
- 32:57Speaker 3: I saw in that game last week against against the Falcon.
- 33:00Speaker 3: I mean, I like the run after catch part. He's
- 33:05Speaker 3: gotta he's gotta be good at that. That's what those
- 33:07Speaker 3: great tight ends can do, is just be playmakers. And
- 33:10Speaker 3: obviously we've seen Kittle do it. We need to see
- 33:13Speaker 3: him do it as well. All right, let's go to
- 33:16Speaker 3: Albert in Tucson, Arizona.
- 33:19Speaker 7: Good morning, Nick, How you doing, my man?
- 33:24Speaker 5: You know, another beautiful day.
- 33:27Speaker 7: Our boys are going to play Sunday. I hope you
- 33:30Speaker 7: can give me my time, and I hope I don't
- 33:34Speaker 7: get cut off.
- 33:34Speaker 1: All right, let's go.
- 33:36Speaker 7: I don't really have stuff. I just you know what,
- 33:39Speaker 7: I'm tired. I'm really, really sick and tired of all
- 33:43Speaker 7: these Dallas Cowboy fairweather fans. I'm tired of them complaining
- 33:49Speaker 7: that it's Jerry Jones. I'm tired of him saying that
- 33:53Speaker 7: Jimmy Johnson won this and it was Jimmy Johnson steam.
- 33:58Speaker 7: I'm tired of us not doing anything because everything from
- 34:04Speaker 7: the pebbles on the AstroTurf to you know, you name it,
- 34:12Speaker 7: lock it.
- 34:13Speaker 6: It's ugly.
- 34:14Speaker 7: It's been ugly. It hasn't been our year. But you
- 34:18Speaker 7: know what, support your team already, their goal of the
- 34:24Speaker 7: that narrative that Jimmy Johnson was the greatest. If he
- 34:27Speaker 7: was the greatest, he would have won super Bowls in
- 34:30Speaker 7: Miami with a great quarterback, Dan Marino. Okay, if Jerry
- 34:37Speaker 7: Jones was as horrible as people make them out to be,
- 34:39Speaker 7: we wouldn't have this beautiful stadium we have. We wouldn't
- 34:43Speaker 7: have the amenities that we have as fans. If everything
- 34:49Speaker 7: was so bad. Yeah, it's been thirty years. I don't
- 34:53Speaker 7: like it either. It hurts me because I have this
- 34:56Speaker 7: team tattooed on my arm and bothers me. But I'm
- 35:02Speaker 7: just tired of all these friends that just, you know,
- 35:05Speaker 7: either support us and stick with us. Diehards or just
- 35:09Speaker 7: gotta go.
- 35:11Speaker 3: All right, all right, I appreciate I appreciate the call, Albert,
- 35:16Speaker 3: you know, and and again I don't tell anybody how
- 35:19Speaker 3: to be a fan. And and I think if I
- 35:23Speaker 3: if I were to counter that, I would say that
- 35:26Speaker 3: support is done in different ways. You know, you can
- 35:29Speaker 3: you can have we see that in our life. You
- 35:33Speaker 3: can support someone by saying good luck, by donating money,
- 35:37Speaker 3: giving him a hug, whatever that it needs to be done.
- 35:40Speaker 3: And I think that you can you can say that
- 35:42Speaker 3: support that these people that are negative, that are negative
- 35:46Speaker 3: on Jerry, negative on Dak, negative on the team is
- 35:50Speaker 3: you know, they still support, They're still there, but they're
- 35:54Speaker 3: considered realists whatever it is. So again, everybody's got their
- 35:58Speaker 3: own opinion on things.
- 36:02Speaker 1: You know.
- 36:02Speaker 3: It's it's funny when you say the people that call
- 36:05Speaker 3: into the show and say this and that, you know,
- 36:08Speaker 3: let's not forget these people are calling into a show
- 36:11Speaker 3: here on from Cowboys storyline, and they're calling in and
- 36:14Speaker 3: there and they're you know, and and this is a
- 36:16Speaker 3: show for them to vent so and this is a
- 36:18Speaker 3: show for you, Albert, to say what you want to
- 36:21Speaker 3: say too. So nobody's right nobody's wrong. Thanks for saying that,
- 36:26Speaker 3: and I and I wish there were more fans that
- 36:29Speaker 3: had that opinion, but I understand why they don't.
- 36:33Speaker 1: So thanks.
- 36:34Speaker 3: You know, like I said, nobody's right, nobody's wrong. Let's
- 36:36Speaker 3: go to break here on Cowboy Storyline'll be right back.

- 38:12Speaker 3: the storyline, let's go to the phone line. Rick in
- 38:16Speaker 3: Saint Charles, Missouri.
- 38:19Speaker 9: How's it going today?
- 38:20Speaker 1: Good man? This first time call?
- 38:22Speaker 9: Yes, it is Funday show.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Can we go right?
- 38:27Speaker 6: Uh?
- 38:27Speaker 9: The uh just a little bit of I'm trying to
- 38:31Speaker 9: lighten things up a little bit. My two favorite Cowboys
- 38:34Speaker 9: going way back roll back to clock Larry Cole and
- 38:38Speaker 9: Walt Harrison and Walk Garrison was kind of a sad
- 38:43Speaker 9: memory watching TV on the floor and they were playing
- 38:47Speaker 9: Washington on Monday Night football, losing fourteen to seven and
- 38:51Speaker 9: Ken Houston stops them at the at the two yard
- 38:54Speaker 9: line and the Cowboys lose the game. But you know,
- 38:57Speaker 9: that's one of those things, just one, but it's burning
- 39:00Speaker 9: my head and it won't go away. Favorite wrestler Greg
- 39:03Speaker 9: the Hammer Valentine Classic match with with Greg with Roddy
- 39:12Speaker 9: Piper where they had dog the dog collar match where
- 39:16Speaker 9: they each were dog collars that were chained together. Look
- 39:20Speaker 9: that up if you want to see it. That was
- 39:21Speaker 9: mateig to watch under current circumstances. I'm kind of a
- 39:27Speaker 9: lot of you your attitude on things. To me, it's
- 39:31Speaker 9: the week to week league, it's the you know, each
- 39:34Speaker 9: week is an adventure, and then you add it all
- 39:37Speaker 9: up to the end, see where things are. Hopefully your
- 39:39Speaker 9: team's in a positive spot and whatever. Looks like we're
- 39:42Speaker 9: kind of in a soft reboot or rebuild mode, if
- 39:44Speaker 9: you will. I don't really let that bother me too much,
- 39:48Speaker 9: but just the observation of where things are, it looks
- 39:51Speaker 9: like the talent they're putting on the field right now
- 39:54Speaker 9: is just not good enough. And maybe that's because of
- 39:57Speaker 9: probably a lot of it is. The injury, definitely is.
- 39:59Speaker 9: The injury is a factor. But you know, it's raining
- 40:03Speaker 9: and pouring and that standpoint. So let's see what they
- 40:07Speaker 9: put on the field. Let's do what they've got, and
- 40:10Speaker 9: we'll see if they added up at the end of
- 40:12Speaker 9: the day. On you know, like this week with the Eagles,
- 40:15Speaker 9: I think there is still a shot. They've kind of
- 40:17Speaker 9: been somewhat competitive in some of these games, but just
- 40:21Speaker 9: bad things that continued to happen. So some that'll go
- 40:24Speaker 9: away at some point. But let's just let the seizer
- 40:28Speaker 9: ride and see where it goes.
- 40:30Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, appreciate it.
- 40:33Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, and I mean, yeah, yeah, the
- 40:36Speaker 3: talent on the field hasn't been hasn't been great, and
- 40:40Speaker 3: it's a lot of it is the injury. I mean,
- 40:43Speaker 3: this is this is one of those cases. And you know,
- 40:46Speaker 3: this is like losing your suitcase on a road trip.
- 40:51Speaker 3: I mean, like if you lost your suitcase at home, well,
- 40:54Speaker 3: you've got more clothes and you can just figure it out.
- 40:57Speaker 3: You might, you might, you know, you might have some
- 40:59Speaker 3: favorites that you like, but you still have something that
- 41:00Speaker 3: you like. But you lose your suitcase on a trip,
- 41:04Speaker 3: you don't have any clothes because those are the clothes
- 41:06Speaker 3: you brought. And so that's kind of what's happened here
- 41:09Speaker 3: this team is like they've had good depth, good backups,
- 41:13Speaker 3: they lost them on free agency, expecting to have their
- 41:17Speaker 3: starters here and a lot of them are out, so
- 41:20Speaker 3: you know, it's it's kind of like, now, what if
- 41:23Speaker 3: you're on a trip and you don't have your suitcase,
- 41:25Speaker 3: you don't have any backups, and so now you got
- 41:27Speaker 3: to go buy some and we all know what that's like.
- 41:29Speaker 3: And that's kind of what this season has been. It's
- 41:32Speaker 3: just a really bad year to have a lot of
- 41:34Speaker 3: injuries because their depth was tested from the start and
- 41:38Speaker 3: they just couldn't afford it, and it was a bad
- 41:41Speaker 3: year to have a lot. I mean, just think about
- 41:44Speaker 3: who's been out. I mean, if you're on a training
- 41:47Speaker 3: camp and you're like, all right, we're gonna we're gonna
- 41:49Speaker 3: be out with Micah for half the season. Tank's going
- 41:52Speaker 3: to be out for half the season. They're on plan
- 41:54Speaker 3: still hasn't played at all until you know, who knows when, Uh,
- 41:59Speaker 3: Trayvon Diggs is is coming back from injury and he's
- 42:01Speaker 3: still kind of banged up. Eric Hendricks missed the game.
- 42:04Speaker 3: Marshawn Neeland is gonna miss most of the season, uh,
- 42:09Speaker 3: just a just a tough, you know, tough defense there
- 42:12Speaker 3: to have to kind of put together with all that
- 42:14Speaker 3: stuff happening. Lines are open here, we got a few
- 42:17Speaker 3: more minutes here eight eight, eight, eight, five five two
- 42:19Speaker 3: to nine seven. You can text at eight one seven
- 42:22Speaker 3: two nine zero three two nine to eight the Cowboys
- 42:28Speaker 3: and and you know, just just looking at from a
- 42:31Speaker 3: standpoint of injuries, Like I just said on offense that
- 42:38Speaker 3: how do they get this done with Cooper Rush? I mean,
- 42:40Speaker 3: how how how can they have some success? And for me,
- 42:44Speaker 3: I think that it's going to have to be early
- 42:47Speaker 3: in the game. They have to figure out a way
- 42:50Speaker 3: to get a lead, because if you can get a
- 42:53Speaker 3: lead against the Eagles, then I think that that opens
- 42:58Speaker 3: on on the Cowboys offense standpoint. They're gonna be able
- 43:01Speaker 3: to play downhill a little bit. They're not gonna be
- 43:03Speaker 3: as afraid to just let it fly.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Let it fly.
- 43:06Speaker 3: They can stick with the running game, because we all
- 43:08Speaker 3: know if you stick with the run, you could have
- 43:11Speaker 3: some success. It's just that it's hard to do that
- 43:13Speaker 3: when you're down ten nothing, fourteen nothing, seventeen to three,
- 43:16Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. So we'll see if they
- 43:20Speaker 3: can play with the lead, and if they can get
- 43:21Speaker 3: one and then play with it, I think that that'll
- 43:24Speaker 3: will certainly help the Cowboys get a little momentum confidence.
- 43:27Speaker 3: And then on the flip side on defense, you know,
- 43:30Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts is a is a good it's a great player,
- 43:33Speaker 3: but he's a he's a good thrower.
- 43:36Speaker 1: He's a much better runner.
- 43:37Speaker 3: We know that if you can force him to throw
- 43:39Speaker 3: the football, I think obviously the Cowboys that would benefit
- 43:43Speaker 3: from that. So all right, let's see Chris and we
- 43:46Speaker 3: have a caller. We still get lines open, we have
- 43:49Speaker 3: do have a caller. All right, let's go to Sergeant
- 43:51Speaker 3: Sue and for it worth.
- 43:53Speaker 10: Hey, at ease, everybody, how you doing it?
- 43:54Speaker 1: What's up?
- 43:55Speaker 5: Man? Hey?
- 43:56Speaker 17: I apologize in advance. I missed all the show. I
- 43:58Speaker 17: literally just tuned in got out of getting my haircut,
- 44:02Speaker 17: so I'm just calling in. So I just wanted to
- 44:04Speaker 17: call It's quit a little bit of positivity. You know.
- 44:07Speaker 17: I'm excited about this weekend. You know, obviously I caught
- 44:10Speaker 17: a little bit of what you were saying. It's kind
- 44:11Speaker 17: of like being on a trip. It's funny because I'm
- 44:13Speaker 17: actually leaving the country tonight. I'm going on a trip,
- 44:15Speaker 17: and I like the analogy. You know, it's just kind
- 44:18Speaker 17: of this is a situation that we're in. We have
- 44:20Speaker 17: what we have, and we have to go out there
- 44:21Speaker 17: and you know, see what we can do to either
- 44:23Speaker 17: turn the season around or see what we can do
- 44:25Speaker 17: as far as evaluating these young players. So I'm really
- 44:27Speaker 17: excited about it. I already told the storyliners that I'm
- 44:29Speaker 17: staying on a resort over there, but I'm for sure,
- 44:33Speaker 17: one hundred percent going to go and find the game
- 44:36Speaker 17: somewhere at the resort bar or something like that. There's
- 44:39Speaker 17: no way I can stay away from it. It doesn't
- 44:40Speaker 17: matter if I'm in Paradise, it doesn't matter if I'm
- 44:42Speaker 17: on the beach. I'm gonna be peeking my head in there,
- 44:44Speaker 17: and I'm gonna be watching because I love this team
- 44:45Speaker 17: so much. I'm definitely just like Irene. I don't know
- 44:48Speaker 17: if she called in today or picked against it. She
- 44:51Speaker 17: picked again, Oh okay, well, hey, I guess I gonna
- 44:54Speaker 17: be maybe a lone wolf. I'm never going to pick
- 44:56Speaker 17: against the Cowboys live. Maybe in my heart, some deep
- 45:00Speaker 17: down in my closet, I might pick against them, but
- 45:02Speaker 17: not live. So I'm gonna say that there's some sort
- 45:04Speaker 17: of hope. I'm gonna say, Dallas Cowboys are gonna pull
- 45:06Speaker 17: it out somehow, some way, thirty one thirty and that's
- 45:09Speaker 17: all I got.
- 45:09Speaker 6: Baby.
- 45:10Speaker 17: You guys have a great.
- 45:10Speaker 3: Weekend somehow, some way, Snoop dogg line. All right, Rick
- 45:18Speaker 3: in Massachusetts is next?
- 45:22Speaker 5: Rick?
- 45:24Speaker 18: Hey, Nick, you do them good?
- 45:26Speaker 1: What's up?
- 45:26Speaker 10: Man?
- 45:28Speaker 18: Just just callings barely was heard. There was an opening,
- 45:34Speaker 18: you got it. I it through, but no, I'm just
- 45:38Speaker 18: checking in. It's like I'm positive. I've always been positive
- 45:41Speaker 18: about the Cowboys, even though I doesn't look good this year.
- 45:45Speaker 18: But we're playing the Eagles, so you know, a division game,
- 45:49Speaker 18: no matter who it is. Well, I think we could
- 45:52Speaker 18: go out and win this game. So I'm thinking of
- 45:53Speaker 18: a close game like maybe twenty five twenty three Cowboys five.
- 45:59Speaker 18: But we'll go from there and hopefully they'll win this
- 46:02Speaker 18: weekend and we'll just take it one week at a time.
- 46:05Speaker 18: And yeah, and you know that's about it. So I
- 46:10Speaker 18: have a good weekend and hopefully we have will you know,
- 46:14Speaker 18: victory Monday?
- 46:15Speaker 3: All right, thanks for the for the call. I don't
- 46:19Speaker 3: know why we're getting all these twenty five picks. It's
- 46:22Speaker 3: not a score we see a lot, but you know what,
- 46:25Speaker 3: to beat the Eagles, to win turn this thing around,
- 46:27Speaker 3: You're gonna have to do some weird stuff. It's gonna
- 46:29Speaker 3: have to beat the ball's gonna have to bounce your way.
- 46:31Speaker 3: Maybe a safety, maybe a two point conversion, maybe I
- 46:34Speaker 3: don't know, maybe all all kinds of weird stuff. But
- 46:38Speaker 3: needs to happen, you know, they have to. And I
- 46:42Speaker 3: believe that the Cowboys have to have success early on
- 46:45Speaker 3: because if not, then I mean three game losing streaks.
- 46:49Speaker 3: It's like, well, nothing's changed, a new quarterback, new new optimism,
- 46:53Speaker 3: back at home for a first time in a while.
- 46:56Speaker 3: Nothing's changed. And so they have to show early on
- 47:00Speaker 3: that things have changed things. You know, get a sack
- 47:03Speaker 3: early in the game. I mean, when I get a turnover,
- 47:05Speaker 3: Michael Parsons, go make a play early in the game.
- 47:07Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to call out Michael Parsons. I'm
- 47:09Speaker 3: just saying that. I mean, they need him, They've missed him.
- 47:13Speaker 3: He's He's said it, he says it all the time,
- 47:15Speaker 3: he says it on his podcast. He's one of the
- 47:17Speaker 3: best players in the league. He's gonna get paid a lot.
- 47:19Speaker 3: We all know that need that you've been missed this.
- 47:23Speaker 3: I've said it before. It's embarrassing that he by far
- 47:28Speaker 3: leads the team in quarterback pressures. I mean, right now
- 47:32Speaker 3: twenty one. The next closest is fifteen by osa Odu Gizua. Who,
- 47:37Speaker 3: if I'm being honest, I can't remember him even getting
- 47:40Speaker 3: pressure on the quarterback. It's happened fifteen times. I'm not
- 47:44Speaker 3: trying to call him out. I just haven't seen him
- 47:45Speaker 3: make a lot of plays like that. So that when
- 47:50Speaker 3: you're out for four games, five games, and you and
- 47:52Speaker 3: you haven't and you still lead the team and pressures
- 47:56Speaker 3: and Tank still leads the team in sacks, that's not good.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Fix both of those this week. Well, you're not gonna
- 48:03Speaker 3: fix the pressures that you would imagine. You know, he's
- 48:05Speaker 3: gonna add to his lead for sure, but it'd be
- 48:08Speaker 3: nice to get some sacks and for for Parsons and
- 48:11Speaker 3: maybe maybe it'll help the other guy maybe on the
- 48:13Speaker 3: other side lost and can he play even better? But anyways,
- 48:17Speaker 3: good good calls this week. You guys are are faithful
- 48:20Speaker 3: to the team, and even the ones that pick the Eagles,
- 48:23Speaker 3: you know, you're you're being real, You're being true about it.
- 48:27Speaker 3: It's gonna be a challenge. We know that for the
- 48:29Speaker 3: Cowboys to win this game. But we we see things
- 48:32Speaker 3: that happen in this week and in this league every week,
- 48:35Speaker 3: and it's happened, you know it'll happen this week to somebody.
- 48:39Speaker 3: There'll be a big surprise. Why not the Cowboys. They're
- 48:42Speaker 3: gonna have to play a lot better in a lot
- 48:44Speaker 3: of areas. They have to clean up the penalties. They're
- 48:46Speaker 3: gonna have to play well in a lot of areas
- 48:47Speaker 3: to win this game. But it can be done. Let's
- 48:50Speaker 3: see if Cooper Rush can lead them there. All right,
- 48:52Speaker 3: it's been a good week. We appreciate all the all
- 48:55Speaker 3: the calls and support for Chris Beam. I'm Nick Eaman.
- 48:57Speaker 3: We will see you on Monday on Cowboys Storyline.
- 49:01Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 49:04Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
