  Speaker 5: You want to keep getting these wins together, get them
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: get to two and oh. I've always said it. I've
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: said it this week. It's the most one of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: most important games of the season in my opinion. So
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: we'll see how the Cowboys treat it, how they come
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: out in their home opener at at and T Stadium.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Noon game should be a festive crowd. A lot of
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: Saints fans will be there, a lot of they they
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: like to get rowdy and yell and chant whatever they chant.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: And the Cowboys fans, you know, they gotta they gotta
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: be there too.
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: It's first game of the year.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: This isn't one that you want to sell the tickets
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: off and I'll catch the I'll catch the Ravens one
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: next week. No, this is this will be a big
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: one Cowboys and Saints, all right, eight eight, eight eighty five,
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: five two two nine seven is the number to call.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: We'll talk about, uh, the game, of course, we'll talk
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: about the injury report that came out. Marshawn Kneeland was
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: added with a calf injury. Did not practice yesterday. One
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: of three players that did not practice. Jake Ferguson did
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: not practice. He did talk in the locker room about
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: his knee injury. Says doesn't have any pain and he's
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: gonna do everything he can to be one hundred percent
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: make sure he's ready to go. I kind of got
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: the sense that, you know, they're gonna definitely gonna try.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: I got the sense that, uh, there's a pretty good
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: chance that he he will play in this game, So
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: that that'll we'll find out a lot today. We'll find
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: out today and how how he practices, if he practices,
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: and how he does and you know, if he's limited today,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: then I think that's a good sign. If he misses
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: another day of practice, then you know, they may hold
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: him out for a week. John Stevens is also on
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: there did not practice as well, So well, those two
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: kind of go together. From the tight end position, you
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: have Luke scoon Maker, you have Brevin span Ford, you
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: have Princeton fan on the practice squad, so it might
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: be a situation to move him up. And don't forget
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Hunter Lipke did a lot of work there at tight end.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: He could he could certainly service your third tight end
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: if you needed to. He did that for the really
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: the fourth quarter of the game, third and fourth quarter.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: So all right, let's get to the phone lines. We'll
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: start us off in Bridge City, Texas. It's Chuck d
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: He's first. Off, Chuck, what's up?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, Nate, what's up?
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: You need to be on first?
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: All right, lead us off.
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: I want all right, I want to talk about a
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: few things. The first thing I want to talk about
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: is with McCarthy. You know, I've been a fan like
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: everybody else, and just the fact that each year you
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: can you have I hope to think we could do it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: We have, but if we haven't, but he's such a
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: good coach, I feel like we could do it, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: I feel he's just as good as Tomlin.
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: You know the Ravens coach Hardall or even uh Sean
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: the old Saints coach. To me, he's just as good
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: as those guys, right, Yeah, Now, I know it's probably
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: because Belichick's out there. They're making this this.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Is his last year.
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: You make it or break it, right, that narrative. But
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: for me, I like, you know, going through the Garrett years,
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: it's just nice to have a coach you could actually
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: have hope to think we could do it because he
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: has done it right. Because that's my point. And I
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: was going to talk about actually for the Saints, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: Saints Week. I got to go in two thousand and
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: nine in New Orleans when you know, DeMarcus Ware it
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: wasn't going to play because he was hurt, and he
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: ended up playing, and you know, Strip sacked all that
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: good stuff, and at half time we were beating them undefeated.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: Almost got killed in the restrooms because I had my
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: Cowboys gear on, and uh, you know, of course we
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: got to win the game. And after we went back
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: to Bourbon Street, we went to our hotels and changed
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: our jerseys because we didn't want to get you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: we didn't want to get hurt. It was that bad
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: that we beat them, but it was awesome. It was
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: awesome to watch.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a great game, and they they they
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: actually lost three in a row the Saints did, Thanks
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Chuck for the call. The Saints lost three in a row, uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: starting with that with that loss to the Cowboys, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: then turned it around and won the Super Bowl. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: didn't hurt them that bad. Yeah, just being there was
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: a very memorable game. And the Marcus Ware and Marion
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Barber and Romo there, you know, making plays down the stretch.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: So it was a fun atmosphere, uh for sure. Now
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: it'll not be in the in the Super Dunes games
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: obviously at Att Stadium, but they'll there'll be a lot
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: of fans there. Hopefully nothing happens like in the restroom
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: I at any fights and things like that. But it
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: should be. It should be fun. I mean, I really
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: like their their fan base. They they're they're very loyal.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: They get after it, and they're they're excited about their team.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: And you know, after a game like that to start
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the year, beat Carolina the way they did, I'm sure
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: they are very excited about what they've got going uh
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: in New Orleans. All right, let's go uh and and
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: the question about McCarthy or the comment about McCarthy. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: know those guys you mentioned Tomlin, uh, Sean Payton, that
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: they're kind of you know, they've they've been I mean,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Sean Payton's teams have been around five hundred a lot.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's why I've never understood why the craze
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: for him. He's won a super Bowl, there's no doubt
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: about it, so as McCarthy. But I mean that they
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: they you know, he'll he'll have some five hundred years
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: as well, maybe a little bit below. But I think
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: more than anything of those coaches that you mentioned that
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: they just give them a chance. They they they give
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: you a chance to be competitive every single year. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: when you're competitive and you're good enough to get to
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: the playoffs, anything can happen at that point, and that's
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: what you want. You want your team to be able
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: to be fighting for a spot every year. I mean,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: I think the Rams coach Sean McVay is very similar
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: to that. Last year was kind of supposed to be
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: a throwaway year for them, and and they they snuck
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: into the playoffs and they were competitive, and that's what
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: I think. You know, the Cowboys are hoping for with McCarthy.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: You have a good coach, get you in there, have
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: good enough players that can you know, that can win
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: some some close games. You win enough of those, then
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: obviously you're in All right, Let's go to Pete in Connecticut.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: It's the next caller, Pete Nick.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: How's going, Buddy good?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: How are you good?
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: I have two quick questions. First off, who's the overall
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: strongest player on the Cowboys team? And then second off,
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: who is the biggest type man before the game? Just
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: getting everybody ready to rip and tear it up?
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: Man, thanks, have a good day.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Thank you. That's quick, quick and easy.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: The strongest guy on the team, I would, and I
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: would say Tyler Smith, And I don't know what the
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: bench press numbers are. Tyler Smith is pretty strong.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: For sure.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: And if you know, I know Mazie was considered in
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: that group, but I don't know. I would I would
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: say Tyler Smith. That would be my guess if I
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: had to guess there.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: The hype guy, oh man not.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Really down there all the time for that. Chris might
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: actually know this one better than me. If you if
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: you're in there, but uh, I see Tank in there.
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: A lot tanks kind of the leader of the circle.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, yeah, I mean you know it has
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: to be it's got to be somebody like that. I
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: mean you you have to have skins on the wall, Okay,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: you have to. You have to know what you're saying too.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: You have to have you know, be you know, like
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: I forgot what the term is there and wrestling, but
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: you got to be good on the mic there, you
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: know what I mean, and your promos I guess maybe
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: that's what they're called. But you've got to be able
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: to sound good. And then you also have to have
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: skins on the wall. Like you have to be a
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: good player, Okay. You can't just be a guy that's
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: like you're you know, back up, you know, running back
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: or linebacker that's over here trying to hype everybody up.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, you got to.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Know, hey, you're gonna get in the game as well,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: and you're gonna play well and do all that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Kind of stuff.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: So I mean, not that he would do it, but
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Cooper Rush is not not going to be your hype
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: guy for any reason there.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: But and there's a lot of.
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: Good guys out there that aren't really screamers. Like Diggs
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: isn't one to get in there and start screaming. Yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 10: you've kind of soft spoken exactly. I don't think Larry
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: Allen was ever the hype guy there, so a good
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: question though. I think Tank Tank is the one I
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: see a lot of the photos. I saw a photo
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: though from a preseason game. It might have been just
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: because of his preseason and if you're playing, you're going
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: to be the one hyping things up. But Overshown was
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: in there in the group kind of you know, yelling
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: and screaming. It was his first game back from injury,
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: so that that might been what he was doing there.
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: But either way, uh, that that's a that's a good question.
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: A lot of stuff people don't don't know the answer to,
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: too so good stuff. All right, let's go to Irene.
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: She's in Falls Church, Virginia.
• 9:12
  Speaker 11: There there's hey, good morning for morning.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: Good are good?
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: So two or just one thing? Not trying to stir
• 9:19
  Speaker 11: the pot or anything? Okay, sorry to seventy second anyway,
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: not trying to through the pot because dan quinn AT's
• 9:31
  Speaker 11: revision of history if we pretend he you know, didn't
• 9:34
  Speaker 11: do anything and completely change our identity on defense and
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: make us kind of the stepping stone for where we
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: hopefully are going. But I did notice in DeMarcus Lawrence's
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: first game that he mentioned one thing in particular that
• 9:49
  Speaker 11: got me, which was he mentioned that, oh, it's nice
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: to have him on the field seeing what we see.
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: So I was wondering for there's parts and cons to both,
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I think, but for a game like this again talking
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: about the emotion all that I can be different kind
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: of runs, how do you think that impacts this game
• 10:10
  Speaker 11: in particular and going forward? I'll get off the phone.
• 10:13
  Speaker 12: Thanks for answering.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: So I think what you're saying there is that you
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: know obviously Dan Quinn was up in the booth and
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: U and Mike Zimmer down on the field. You know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: there's there's two ways to say. I mean, yes, it's easier.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: We've all done it if you've been down the field. Yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: it's pretty cool when it's right there in front of you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: It's it's that's hard to beat right there. You don't
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: always see everything. You can't see everything. You see a
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: lot more from upstairs now with the way the iPads
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: are now and then and the communication and you see
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: all the pictures. You can still see that stuff very
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: quickly as well, and so you can still kind of
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: see that at times, and you can still communicate with
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: the players more so, I think for Zimmer and his
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: coaching style, it just fits better for what he's trying
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: to do. You know, Dan, Dan's intense, but he really
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: wasn't a that I saw. He really wasn't a screaming,
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: yelling type type coach. He's intense in his own way.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I'm sure there were times, and I'm sure there are
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: times that you have to be a head coach defensive coordinator,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: you have to be able to do that. But I
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: think Zimmer obviously a little bit more intense there, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: I think he gets his point across better by staring
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: him in the face and say do your job.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Do your job.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: This isn't cutting it, and it probably holds a lot
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: more water by doing that. So, you know, and each
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: player kind of handles it differently. But for Tank to
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: say that, then that's good, that that means this is
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: kind of what he needs and and what you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: he's one of the leaders. So the other guys probably
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: could could say the same as well. All right, all
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: the other foot lines are open here. Eight to eight
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: eight five, five, two, two nine seven. We've got a
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: question here on the text line. This is a first
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: time Texter, Joe from New Jersey. So we'll go first
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: time texter there for Joe. He can get to here
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: we go, Chris, can hear it?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: I appreciate all your work.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: How do you feel about giving more opportunities to Douce
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: fun to get him out in space. He's another weapon
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: we can use on offense. I think he's another weapon.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I mean like he's he's shown some ability, uh in
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: preseason games. He hasn't really done that in the regular season.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: It's a different beast, different animal, different player. We're talking
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: about players that are bigger, stronger, faster. That's why they're
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: in the league, and that's why they're on teams, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: that's why they're not in preseason games. So we we
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: haven't found that out just yet, that he can be
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: a difference maker in a regular season game. And so
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: the only way you're gonna find that out is by
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: playing him. So I get your point, and it's not
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: it's not wrong. I think you pick your spots.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: You know they put him in there the other day.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: I would have liked to see him a little bit
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: more in the second half of all you're doing is
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: running the ball. I'd like to see him do that. So,
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: you know, they they've got some they've got some places
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: for him. He's on the team like he made the
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: team for a reason. They they think he can he
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: can add some value. They're just trying to figure out where.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: But I think that they'll they'll pick their spots. And
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: you know, for right now, he's still active. But if
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: there I think if they decide to put Dalvin Cook
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: up from the practice squad or you know, make him
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: a guy that that's gonna play, I think that would
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: be Deuce's spot. That's what I would I would imagine. So, uh,
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: we'll see, we'll see how it goes.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: All right, let's go.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: To here we go and here we go. Here we go, Joe,
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: all right, Adam in Vermont, Adam, what's up?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm good.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: A huge fan? Huge fan? I didn't know if I
• 13:39
  Speaker 13: could get through, But I'm excited that that I'm in
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: just calling.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 13:44
  Speaker 13: If you know anything about Land and his timetable of returning.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Uh, I think I think for for Deron Bland it's
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: it's a four it's four games for sure. That's that's
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: where he is for the stress fracture in his foot.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: So he's on injured and it's it's four games regardless
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: if he's healed all the.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Way or not. I mean, for sure, he's out these
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: first four games.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: So after the Giants game, then he is eligible to return.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: He can start practicing. Doesn't mean he has to, obviously,
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: and so that's kind of that's kind of where it is.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: He's on injured reserve, and then they'll start bringing him
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: back if they you know, I mean, he could be
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: out all season, I mean knocking with I'm not saying
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: he is, but the way the rules are, he's on
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: injured reserve. He has to be out four games and
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: then after that, you know, he can come back when
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: he comes back. And it was a six to eight
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: week injury. It was that this happened two weeks before
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: the start of the season, so you know, two weeks
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: and then four games. That's that's six that's six weeks
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: right there. So hopefully for him, he has a shot
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: to come back for that Pittsburgh game in week five.
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: Gotcha, Well, hey, I appreciate it, and uh, take care all.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Right, man?
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much. Appreciate the here we go, here
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: we go.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: We had to hear we go from Adam and Vermont
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Pete in Connecticut. We call back, Pete, Are you back?
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: This is I mean, I guess we would call this
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: a repeat call. Yeah, what's up Pete?
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: What's up?
• 15:15
  Speaker 14: Man?
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: So I was just wondering, in all your years of
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: covering the Cowboys, which playoff loss was the hardest one
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: you deal with?
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: This last one, This last game. I mean, not even
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: the question, this last one. This was the worst because
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: they got blown out, and they were supposed to blow
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: them out, Number two seed all lined up for them,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: you know, and you.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Didn't even compete.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You didn't even compete.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: H So that's that's the worst.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: And it's not one of those things where it's the
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: newest one so you think it's the worst. We always
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: do that, like this is the best one ever, the
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: worst one ever. But when you throw them all out
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: there and all these other games they were close, it
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: was a tough des caught it Romo's the ball slipped
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: out of his hands.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Patrick.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: I think the twenty sixteen one was brutal.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Jeffrey fought back in.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: The second half, and they just still Aaron Rodgers once again.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: They're all they're all tough, I mean, because all of
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: those games, all of those losses. Just give me one play,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: one play in that game. And for me, in the
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Seattle game, it's not Rummel dropping the snap. It's the
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: fact that they should have reviewed that play, or or
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I think Witton got a first down. You give Witting
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: a first down. There there's no field goal. Then the
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: clock runs out. Then they kick it or run it
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: in and they win that game. Creighton dropping the ball,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Jeff Heaths on the twenty sixteen Jeff Heath sacks Rogers,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: he doesn't fumble, you know, and he fumbles that ball,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: they kick it, they go win. So there's one play
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: in every game except for this Packers one. There's nothing.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, they just didn't they didn't compete. So that's
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: the one that I would pick.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: All right, all right, thank.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: You, Pete.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: You everybody calls in, They say how hard it is
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: to call in once in the year over here calling
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: in twice. Good job, I'm counting it twice though. Two
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: calls there, Pete, and then Adam and Vermont was called before,
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: what's going on up there in the northeast. We got
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: two connecticuts and a Vermont. Good stuff. All right, We
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: got a text question here. This is Colby in Tyler, Texas.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: I'm just wondering how Dalvin Cook's ramp up is looking.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: How do you how do you feel he'll have a role.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not supposed to see things out there. You know,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: you kind of glance out. You see every once in
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: a while on our on our practice field, you see
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: guys out running around. Uh I did kind of catch
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: him in the open field, just running on you. It
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: was you know, scout team look or whatever. But uh
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I saw twenty and it looked kind of like a
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Pollard the way he was running and cutting.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: It in the open field.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: And I again practice against air, really but saw some
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: juice that I was like, all right, I like that,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Like he'll he'll, he'll get out there. It's looking better better,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: And you know, nothing happened in the game Sunday that
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: you're like, well, we don't need him.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm not.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Saying it was bad, but it was good enough. But
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: it wasn't a you know, they weren't just running the
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: ball over the Browns, and most teams aren't going to
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: do that. So it was fine for week one. Let's
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: see what happened here in the next few weeks. But
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: it wasn't like Zeke er Rico did all of these
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: things reduced that you were like, well, we don't need
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: this four time pro bowler, Like, nah, he's good, he'll
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: get a shot. He'll get a shot. I can't tell
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: you exactly how the ramp up is going, but it
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: looks like, you know, he's getting he should be getting
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: closer and closer. All right, let's go to a call
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: from Bob and Rio grand Valley. Hey, Bob, how good you?
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: I'm doing good.
• 18:47
  Speaker 15: I got a question for you, And then I want
• 18:50
  Speaker 15: to make a comment.
• 18:51
  Speaker 14: If the question is what do you hear about Ferguson's
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: maybe I.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: I think I yesterday he said Ferguson. Ferguson said in
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: the locker room that he feels fine. He hurt a
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: pop on the injury. He never heard a pop before.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I think that's the whole thing was very scary. They
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: were fearing it could be a cl could be bad.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: But the you know, all the tests came back good.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: He has no pain. So right now, they're just gonna
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: he did not practice yesterday. We'll see if he practices today.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I think he has a decent shot to play, but
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: it would not surprise me if they hold him for
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: a week.
• 19:26
  Speaker 14: All right, here's my comment. Okay, thanks, thanks for answering
• 19:30
  Speaker 14: the question. By the way, Yeah, here's the comment. We
• 19:34
  Speaker 14: established this running game early. You're looking at a forty
• 19:38
  Speaker 14: burger because New Orleans does not have that great a defense.
• 19:42
  Speaker 14: They don't disguise there, they're coverage that well, and Dak
• 19:48
  Speaker 14: is just going to pick him apart like a laser surgeon.
• 19:51
  Speaker 14: And that's not my prediction. And thank you for taking
• 19:53
  Speaker 14: a call.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: All right, Well, I appreciate that. I mean, I agree
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: this could be a high scoring game. I mean it
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: could be the Saints. Still you still don't know, you
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: don't know what to expect. You know, Carolina is just
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: not not ready to compete at a high level. I
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: don't It doesn't look like it's one game new coach,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks just struggling.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: I'm glad the Cowboys play him.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: You know that this year. Not not looking forward to
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: going there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: But but uh but I'm glad that they play them,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: and and actually that's a good thing too, because they
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: should be able to win the game. And if that's
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: if that's a road game, uh, you know, you have
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: nine home games, so it's pretty good. I mean, you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: if that's that's one of your road games, that's why
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: the schedule is not as unfavorable as you might as
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: you might think. So all right, let's before we go
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: to breakup, go one more text question here. This is
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: from Darien Foster from Irving, Texas. Darien is my guys,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: my my best friend's nephew, so in reality.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: He's my nephew as well.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: So his question is do you think the Cowboys are
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: going to regret not recent signing Tony Pollard. Well, Tony
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Pollard had a nice game in the first first week
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: of the season, at least scored a touchdown for sure.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: If you're a fantasy player and you have him, you're like, oh,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: he did pretty good stuff. I know they didn't win
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: the game, but but I think for for the money
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: that he that he got, you know, I think it
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: was seven million a year, I think they just thought
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: they could do a committee approach.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Are they going to regret it? We'll see, We'll see.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I'm not just going to dismiss it and say nah
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: nah that they're good, because you know, he does bring
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: some some juice that but I think they felt like
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: the combination of Rico and and and Zeke a little
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: bit more of a complete back. I hate saying that
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: because Pollard is really good. He's dynamic, and he tries
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: like when it comes to blocking, like hell, he's not afraid.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: He's definitely not scared. It's just that that's not his
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: body type to do that. He's not gonna make a
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: living doing that. Uh and and last year he didn't
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: have as many explosive plays, I think because being that
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: he needs to be a number two back. There's nothing
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: wrong with that. I think he's better at that. Less
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: as more is better for Tony Pollard. So I think
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: for the money that he was demanding or you know,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: not demanding, but the money that you know that he
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: was able to get, I think they looked at it
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: like we we could probably use that money in better spaces,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: but we'll we'll see what happens. I think it's a
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: really good question because the jury is still out on
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: his season, and also what the Cowboys have done to
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: replace them. Mary Let's take a break here on Cowboys storyline.

  Speaker 5: over the place there, Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts and the next color.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Nice. Let's do it.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: What do you got well.
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: From Webster, Massachusetts? You look in for the cities.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: I am I like that, Webster, Massachusetts. What's up?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: All right? What do you got well?
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: It's compared to the second game with New Orleans, compared
• 24:50
  Speaker 13: to our second game with Arizona last year? Do you
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: think it's good? It can be? Taking make it better?
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: This year?
• 24:56
  Speaker 13: We do win and said of losing like we thought
• 24:59
  Speaker 13: we should win.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: Say that again. I'm sorry you lost me for a second.
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: I'm just saying compared to last year, Arizona's game was
• 25:07
  Speaker 13: the second game, there was a third game. Yeah, definitely
• 25:10
  Speaker 13: the Giants. We were think I'm going to win and
• 25:12
  Speaker 13: beat Arizona and we lose, right, the same thing kind
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: of like with it New Orleans or do you do
• 25:18
  Speaker 13: you think we get you know, be able to beat
• 25:20
  Speaker 13: that up and say hey, we're just go in and
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: take care of it and win.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I think thanks for the call. A couple
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: of things about that. Well, not that it matters. I mean,
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: your point is made. Arizona was Week three. They just
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: beat the Giants and then the Jets and then you know,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: but still week two, week three, I get your point.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: Knock on wood here. This is what what kind of
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: scares me about that by referencing that because it is Thursday,
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: I don't like mentioning it. But Thursday before that game
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: is where they suffered an injury to their cornerback out
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: for the season, So you know, kind of leery of
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: that of any injuries on these practice. But another thing too,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: like they had three starters out for the game three,
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: and it combined I think it was like eighteen Pro
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Bowls out for that game. Tyron Smith missed the game,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Tyler Biattish at center missed the game, and Zach Martin
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: missed the game. And so they had a hard time
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: scoring points and moving the ball if you could imagine,
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, they they had hard time scoring points. They
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: moved the ball, but they didn't score, and then they
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: couldn't stop anybody in the run. So I'll say this,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: if you're gonna gi up two hundred and twenty two
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: yards rushing to James Connor, then then you're gonna lose
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: games or you're you know, it doesn't matter if Josh
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Jobbs is the quarterback or not. So my point all
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: of that is they're they're not excuses why they lost it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Those were reasons reasons why they lost those games. And
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: that lost that game in Arizona. They were not at
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: full strength and they showed and they they didn't play well.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: And throw that in there as well, so you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: maybe they were looking ahead or whatever. But I don't
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: think you look at he had a team like this.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Saints, what they did, what
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: they put out, I don't think there's gonna be any
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: of that is, if they're healthy, though, I think the
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: cowwould have a really good chance to win the game.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: All right, let's go to Joe and Pennsylvania, just up
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: there in the northeast.
• 27:14
  Speaker 16: Yep, another northeast.
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: Kai.
• 27:18
  Speaker 16: Oh, not too much, got too quick. Things I'd like
• 27:21
  Speaker 16: to go over cool first one is Juce Fawn being
• 27:25
  Speaker 16: on the punt return team. It seems like opposing coaches
• 27:30
  Speaker 16: would maybe try to run a fake and try to
• 27:33
  Speaker 16: isolate him to make a tackle. I know he did,
• 27:37
  Speaker 16: you know, put a nice block on the punt return,
• 27:41
  Speaker 16: but it seems like if I was a special teams coach,
• 27:43
  Speaker 16: I try to isolate him and try to run somebody
• 27:46
  Speaker 16: at him and see if he can make a tackle.
• 27:48
  Speaker 16: And then the second thing is if they do have
• 27:51
  Speaker 16: trouble with their running game, I would like to see
• 27:54
  Speaker 16: Lance be the second quarterback and maybe get him some
• 27:58
  Speaker 16: running plays or something, and you would think they'd be
• 28:01
  Speaker 16: able to have enough plays where if Dak got hurt,
• 28:05
  Speaker 16: he could fill in for the rest of that game
• 28:07
  Speaker 16: and then Stack's out for a while, then move Cooper
• 28:11
  Speaker 16: rush up to the number one.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: You know, not a bad not a bad thought at all.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: You know, I kind of think that that could happen
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: at some point this year. Thank you for the call,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Joe good good a couple of good observations and good
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: thinking there. So I I think right now that you're
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: kind of playing with fire. I think if you did that,
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: you know, I mean, just to say, like we're good,
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Dak's good. We're going to make him the backup.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: But maybe maybe not.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: It's got to get to the point where they're like
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: that Trey Lance can go in and and and help
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: us win a game, you know, if we get if
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: he gets injured, he can go and play and finish
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: this off if needed. And again, by the rules the
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: way it's set up, first and second quarterback have to
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: be injured and out for the game. Third quarterback can
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: come in, he's dressed, he can come in, but only
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: under that reason. So you can't just pick which one
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: you want. But you know, Trey Lance is going to
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: have to provide some value. It's got to be worth it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, is it going to be worth it to
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: put him in there? So, but you know, we'll see
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: how that goes as as the year goes on. And again,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: let's see if they're struggling in the red zone. We
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: really don't know yet what what what's happening there if
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: they if they're having issues in the red zone or
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: issues running it. As for deuce, we've seen it before
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: where teams will you know, pick on players. I mean,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: they had Jalen Tolbert out there as as the corner
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: on on the punt return team, and I believe they
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: two teams ran a fake at him last year. So
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: if if you put a player like that, teams know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: you know, everybody's got three special teams, coaches, they're looking
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: at that kind of stuff that they're looking at who's
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: out there. And you know, from what I remember, he
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: was sitting right in the middle of the defense, so
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: it's kind of protected there. But also there's two sides
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: to as Parcels would say, there's two sides to that pancake.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Don't be surprised if maybe they sneak news out and
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: then there's some kind of reverse with turpin or fake
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: reverse or something like that. So you know, there's there's
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: there's different way. I mean, bones can play the game too.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Now let's don't forget that, all right, Let's go to
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Irwin in Denver.
• 30:19
  Speaker 17: Hey, Dick, what's going on?
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: Are you?
• 30:22
  Speaker 17: I'm doing good.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: I heard from you in a while. How you been.
• 30:25
  Speaker 17: I know, you know, I try to call you when
• 30:27
  Speaker 17: you were down at the Oxnard and it was really
• 30:29
  Speaker 17: tough to get in. Yeah, and there's been a lot
• 30:32
  Speaker 17: of people calling. So that's just a tribute to you
• 30:34
  Speaker 17: and the show.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you appreciate that.
• 30:36
  Speaker 17: Yeah, So just a couple of quick things, Nick and
• 30:38
  Speaker 17: I let's let you go. So we get some of
• 30:40
  Speaker 17: callers on. I don't know if you remember, but me
• 30:43
  Speaker 17: and you talked a little bit about when we had
• 30:45
  Speaker 17: drafted Tyler Geydon and we knew who we were playing.
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: I had mentioned to you that he was, you know,
• 30:52
  Speaker 17: there was it was really gonna be tough for him
• 30:54
  Speaker 17: being a rookie going against Miles Garrett, and you agreed
• 30:58
  Speaker 17: with that, but you all came back and said, well,
• 31:01
  Speaker 17: don't discount Parsons and what he could do. As it
• 31:04
  Speaker 17: turned out, you know, Tyler Gayton really handled himself. He
• 31:09
  Speaker 17: was impressive, you know. And then of course Parsons did
• 31:12
  Speaker 17: his thing. And then I'm going to take a different
• 31:15
  Speaker 17: spin on some things. I actually kind of want to
• 31:18
  Speaker 17: see the Cowboys every game play tough games, you know,
• 31:23
  Speaker 17: and of course come out on top with these wins. Yeah,
• 31:27
  Speaker 17: it just the battle hardened them. When it hopefully they
• 31:30
  Speaker 17: get to the playoffs, you know, they'll they won't have
• 31:32
  Speaker 17: any of these kind of weak blowouts and you know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 17: get over confident anything. I want them to have tough
• 31:38
  Speaker 17: games throughout the year, you know, and come out victorious.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: There's something to be said for that. I thank you
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: for the caller. Two really good points. You know, the
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: when you look at even back to the Super Bowl teams,
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: the years that they won, there was always a game
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: or two that they they kind of snuck, you know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: snuck out to win or something, you know, very be
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: the team that maybe wasn't even that good. They had
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: to rally and and and win the game and and
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: and you know a lot of people would pinpoint that
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: and say that that helped them carry on. There's again
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: two sides to it. You get some blowout wins against
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: the like they did last year against the Giants against Washington.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: You need games like that rest your players a little bit.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Also give opportunities for younger guys to play, because you're
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: gonna need them. So games like that allow them a
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: chance to play. So there there's two sides to that,
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: you know, and and you want to mix. You want
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: to balance. You want because confidence can go in both ways.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: You could you could blow teams out and you're like, man,
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: you know it feel really good. And you know we
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: needed a game like that. We needed to show that
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: we can, you know, put the put our foot on
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: their throat and blow them out. So but then there's
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: gonna be those times where you also know, hey, remember
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: that game where we had to drive in the fourth
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: quarter and Aubrey made the kick and we won. The
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: defense stopped them, So they both can be beneficial. I
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: think you want a good balance of both though, you
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: get if you get to the playoffs, you want to
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: know you you're able to win some tough games like that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: The other point about Guyton going up against Garrett and
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: and you know Parsons having some you know, giving them
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: problems as well. Parsons Mike I said it yesterday in
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: the locker room, a really interesting interview, had a lot
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: of good things to say, but he was talking about
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: his conversation with Geyton, and he said he got the
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: two best out of the way, and Geyton was like
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: two best He's like, yeah, because you got me in
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: training camp and then you got you got Garrett with
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: the two best rushers you know, and.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Not that you know t J. Watt doesn't have some
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: you know issues.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: But t J.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Watt, though, is more rushing from the left side, so
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: I think you'll see him more against Terrence Teele. He
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: doesn't flip as much as as Garrett does. Bosa Nick
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Bosa from the forty nine ers. Obviously he'll he'll move
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: around too, So it's not like he's not gonna be
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: face the challenge week. But that was Parson's opinion that
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: you know, he faced me in training camp. Meet Miles
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Garrett and you know you're doing good so far, and
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: it's it's not going to be that much tougher than that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: It probably will be at times, but still that that's
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: a good start for I get the point that he's
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: trying to make all right, all right, let's go to
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, are we Are we serious with this?
• 34:23

  Speaker 5: All Right we've got. We've got a text question here
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: from Joe in Stanford, Texas. Used to call all the time.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Now he's changed his work schedules, he doesn't get to
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: call as much, but he did call not too long ago,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: but he texts a lot. Here's his question today. With
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: the way Kitlen Carson is playing, do you think the
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: training staff will be more conservative with Bland's return than
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: they might be otherwise? Well, I'll just say this. The
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: training staff is going to do what they do all
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: the time to get the player back to be healthy
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: and ready to go at his timetable, like there is
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: no And I say this because sometimes those guys are
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: watching and listening to everything. And I mean this though,
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: because I know how serious they are. They guys come
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: back when they're ready, when they're ready to play physically. Now,
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: sometimes you do have to kind of get over a
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: mental hurdle there, and it's not the same, but for
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: the most and these guys are ready to go, ready
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: to play. So I don't think there's going to be
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: any We don't need to bring Bland back because we're
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: good here, you know. I think he'll be ready when
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: he's ready. I get the nature of the question. But
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: I think from depends on who you ask. Like I
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: could see the coaches, I can see Jerry, I could
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: see them saying let's one more week. But from a
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: training staff and a player, like when he's ready, he'll
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: be back, regardless of where he is and who you
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: know who's playing it. And again, you know, Caitlyn Carson
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: played one game against the quarterback that could not complete
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: a pass. He really couldn't, and he did give up
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: a touchdown there. So let's just see how it goes.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: Let's see what happens this week and then that maybe
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: you know, the Saints might find something they pick on him.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: So we'll see how it goes. But I think that
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: it's a good problem to have when Bland comes back,
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: that you're gonna have four cornerbacks that you can throw
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: out there and you can trust. All right, let's go
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: to Steve. He's in Silver Spring, Maryland.
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, first time, Nick, All right, thanks, let me.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: In Cowboys, Steve, Yeah, first time call and love your show.
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: Is there a player out there, maybe a right defensive
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: end or a wide receiver that could put this team
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: over the top. Looking at the rework of Steelds contract
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: or they clearing up space to make such a move.
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: That's my question.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Think right, all right, what you're referring to is they
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: made a move that was very that was scheduled with
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Terrence Steel. Here's why they did that. They they it
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: was on the it was on the docket to do
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: this regardless. I mean, this is this is a thing
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: when they did the contract in his second year. I
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: guess they did the contract last year. So the second
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: year you trigger this, you create four or five million
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: dollars on the cap. I think the reason why they
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: did it is to just help themselves in case they
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: didn't do the DAC deal. They did it on Saturday
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: before the deal was done on Sunday, protected themselves. Because
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: people don't realize this, but teams need You need about
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: three to four million dollars just for your elevations each week.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: You know a guy like visually.
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, think about what the guys make on the
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: practice squad and then what do they make for a
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: game day check. So the difference every single week that
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: adds up and it's about three four million dollars. So
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: you need that kind of money. You need that plus
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: if you hit knock on wood. But if you have
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: an injury, you need to go get a player, you
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: need to get a veteran, whatever, you need. Those things
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: cause money too, so you gotta have some wiggle room
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: on your salary cap. They did that thinking, who knows
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: what happened with Dak, let's make this move. And then
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: now once they made the move with Dak and they
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: signed him to an extension that actually does lower his
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: salary cap this year considerably, so they're good. But all
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: of that money is rolling into next year, so they're
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: not getting space so they can go sign a player
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: that will put them over the top. I don't really
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: know if that guy is out there, but what they're
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: doing is creating some space so they can roll some
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: of that money for next year.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: Next year they're definitely gonna need.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: They're gonna be hurting on the salary cap, and they're
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: trying to do everything they can to prevent that. Right now,
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: all right, Next caller is RDJ in New Jersey.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: RDJ.
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: We lose them. I think we lost them.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: R DJ.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: Are you there?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: What's that name?
• 41:14
  Speaker 13: Hey?
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: How you doing there?
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: Nick Good? I figured if Pete can call in twice,
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: I can try to call into twice two because I
• 41:22
  Speaker 12: called yesterday there you go, all right? So anyway, I
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: had a text you yesterday as well about Brian Schottenheimer.
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: There was an interview that was done with him by
• 41:34
  Speaker 12: the media and they was asked about Ezekiel Elliott and
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: having him back in the role that he's playing, and
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: then he made a question of shapment about all the
• 41:47
  Speaker 12: running backs are doing the same thing that Ezekiel does,
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: including getting short yardage or even picking up blocks, and
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: in my opinion, not all of them are capable of
• 41:56
  Speaker 12: doing what he does. Well, I just wanted to know
• 41:58
  Speaker 12: what your opinion was on it.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean Zeke is different that way. I mean,
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: that's that's what makes him who he is. I mean.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Jerry Jones was interviewed on the Fan one O five
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: to three on his regular Tuesday time and he talked
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: about it three times in the interview about Zeke and
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: his blocking and what he was able to provide there
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: and how different different that he is there, so he's
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: not like everyone. And also you know they understand too
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: that you you just bought him, you know, was it
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: two hundred and forty million dollar house and your payments
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: are sixty million per year on that house, so you
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: better get a fence around it that can protect that house.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: And if not, and that's your offensive line, and maybe
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: you need one of those dogs that's going to just
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: make sure that anybody that comes to the door that
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: they're gonna have to deal with something. And that's that's Zeke,
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: That's what that is. And so that is that's a
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: situation where you know, the Cowboys are protecting themselves and
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: that's the priority that they're they're looking at. You know,
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: you guys are looking at running backs because everybody self included,
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: plays fantasy football. This is your starting running back, he
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: needs this many carries. But well, they're not looking at
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: it that way. This is a passing team, we know that,
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: but there are times you have to run the ball.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: Zeke can do that. He can get short yarded situations.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: He can also protect his quarterback when when he's out
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: there throwing the ball, throwing it to CD tight ends
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: and all that stuff. So the value that they're looking
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: at there is a different Zeke than what we saw before.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Rookie Zeke, all that stuff different, the yardage, it's not
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: not the same, but still very effective and very valuable
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: in his own way and That's one of the things
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: that I think is certainly underrated for him, but like
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: I said, provides a lot of value for sure.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: All right, let's go to Bruce in Houston.
• 43:39
  Speaker 15: Bruce, Hey, Nick ky, No buddy, long time no here?
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I know, man, how are you just been busy?
• 43:47
  Speaker 15: You know, I wasn't a big fan of the dak signing.
• 43:50
  Speaker 15: You know, I'll feel about that. I think they should
• 43:53
  Speaker 15: have waited, but hey, they did. It ain't our money,
• 43:56
  Speaker 15: but it would have been. It would have been nice
• 43:58
  Speaker 15: for them to say, you know, listen, get me to
• 44:00
  Speaker 15: the championship or super Bowl and then we'll cut you
• 44:03
  Speaker 15: that sixty million dollar check. But you know, Jerry did
• 44:06
  Speaker 15: what Jerry does. My question is, I haven't heard I
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: heard Mickey speak a little bit about the details of it.
• 44:13
  Speaker 15: Are there any no trade claws in it? Or can
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: they get out of it in a couple of years
• 44:19
  Speaker 15: If he what's the bed so to speak? So if
• 44:22
  Speaker 15: you can speak a little bit about that and the
• 44:24
  Speaker 15: way I think they're going to do now signing back
• 44:27
  Speaker 15: to this huge contract, it should afford them. I know
• 44:30
  Speaker 15: they wanted to get Jonathan Brooks. I believe it was
• 44:33
  Speaker 15: last year in the draft at a University of Texas
• 44:37
  Speaker 15: running back. So maybe they can spend a first or
• 44:39
  Speaker 15: second or maybe trade out of the first and top
• 44:43
  Speaker 15: three pick get a good solid running back because you
• 44:45
  Speaker 15: do need young, young legs and that that position. So
• 44:50
  Speaker 15: I can see them doing that next year. But if
• 44:52
  Speaker 15: you can talk about maybe contract with Prescott and see
• 44:56
  Speaker 15: how that's going, Good day, everyone.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: All right, thank you? All right, Bruce. You know, it's
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: it's easy to say that, like like, well, just just
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: make him earn it, you know that that kind of stuff,
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: But I think what what people forget? And and naturally,
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: so when you're not here every day, you know, and
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: seeing you know, every meeting, every interview, every bus ride,
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: every plane ride, every huddle, it's it's a sensitive situation
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: when you when you're you're like, am I your guy?
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: Or am I not your guy? You want me to
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: be my guy?
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: Right now?
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: I've been doing this eight years of might have I
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: not proven it yet? What do you what do you
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: want me to prove? You want me to go to
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: the super Bowl? Well, why don't you fix this and
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: this and this? And so there's the easy ways to
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: fingerpoint and all this kind of stuff. And as this
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: was the season didn't even start yet, and every question,
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: every answer by Dak, you could kind of sense it
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: was starting to get You know, it's it's it's personal,
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: it's sensitive. So do you want that? And I'm not
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: saying I'm not saying you have to just you know, well,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: the guy wants a deal, so you might as well
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: give him a deal. No, But I think they look
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: at it differently. They wanted him to be the quarterback
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: of the team. They wanted that to happen. They didn't
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: want this to go every single week, with every play,
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: every win, every loss, to get to throw contract talk
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: with it. And so that was the decision. And Dak
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: and his agent were smart, this is our number, this
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: is the number. We don't have to take it right now.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: We'll go play next year and we'll play somewhere else
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: and we'll get sixty five million probably next year. But
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: if you want to knock this out and do it
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: right now, this is what they did. As for no trade,
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: I believe there is. I believe that it's the same
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: it's the same setup it is before. But again, those
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: no trade clauses can be waived real easily if it
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: were if it's a better situation for him.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: It's a four year deal and they're lowering.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: It's for your extension, so it's four years on top
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: of this season. I mean, you can always get out
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: of deals, but it's not going to be cheap because
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: most of it's guaranteed. So not really that this is
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: Dock's the guy for the next you know, really four
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: to five years and that's fine.
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: All right? Horace in Atlanta, what's up?
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 47:13
  Speaker 16: Nick?
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: How you doing good?
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Man? How are you doing good?
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: I haven't talked to you in a long time. I
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: used to call in when you were on the break.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Congratulations on your show.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: Appreciate it. I think this first time calling for this
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: show for sure, absolutely what it is. Here we go there,
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: we go.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that. Appreciate that. Yeah, I've been wondering. I wanted
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: to ask you, you know one time. I remember we
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: talked about how we always wanted the Cowboys to haven't
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: I did it? You know, and that I think that's
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: important that you know, those those Cowboys teams of the
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: past always had an identity of being physical at the
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: office of line, and I think they're trying to create
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: that now. I mean, it definitely looked physical against Cleveland,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: and I was really happy about that. But the thing
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: in the second half I wasn't that was disappointing was
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: that they didn't really try and run ball as much
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: as I thought they should. If you got you know, Dato,
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: and I'm so glad they got ze back. Just if
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: there's nothing more for those short yardage, you know, goal
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: line situations, red zone situations. I think he's ideal for that,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: but I still would have liked their seeing them, you know,
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: run the ball a whole lot more, especially in the
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: second half. Just I don't care if you're going three
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: and out, but at least you're trying to do that,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: and you know, just really say, look, this is what
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: we need to work on and just find out those areas.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: But I was just wondering if you think they need
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: to be more creative in that area or is it
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: just why did they kind of get away from that?
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: And do you think, what do you think our identity
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: is right now?
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: Well the identity you know, I think you wanted to
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: thanks for the call of horrors.
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: Good to hear from me.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: I think I think your identity is I've always kind
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: of struggled with that, because you know, I think you
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: have a record that is attached to your to your name,
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: I mean to your team.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: So that's what it is. I mean, you are what
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: you are.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: And and and that's and that's you don't necessarily have
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: to are you a running team or you a passing team.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: You just want to be a winning team, and you
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: want to be able to be a balanced team. To me,
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: that's what the identity should be. Your identity should be.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: We can win in any way you want to win,
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: any time you want to do, whatever you want to do.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: We can go and and and win this way, this this,
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: we can win this way. And so that's that's what
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: I think that that you know, I think the identity
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: should be. I think they're a passing team better than
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: they are running.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: We know that. And look at what they're they're doing.
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: And running back by committee while they pay their quarterback
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: and they pay their receiver. And I mean, we we
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: get that. So that's what they are right now. They're
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: they're a team that can pass the ball around, uh
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: that they can do a control passing game, and they
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: run when they need to.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: When you get in the red zone, it is tough.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: It's tough to score. It's tough to score that way,
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: so they need to be a little bit more balanced.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that answers the question, because I
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: don't know if if that's an e easy question to answer,
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: I'll say it again.
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: I think the identity you want to have is you
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: want to be able to win high scoring games, if
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: you have to, low scoring games, if you need to
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: whatever it is. Be able to adapt because games you're
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: always having to pivot in the middle of the game.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: Be good enough to win a running game, be good
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: enough to win a shootout. That's what I think this
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: team needs to do. We saw that last year. They
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: scored all kinds of points Blue teams out but when
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: they needed to run the football in the playoff game
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: and stop the run, they couldn't do it. It was
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: one of those tough, grinded out games, and the Packers
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: just were way too better than the Cowboys were for that.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: They weren't built for it, and they should have been.
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: So that's what I think they needed. Their identity needs
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: to be winning every single way possible. All right, guys,
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: outstanding week man, I'm sorry, outstanding day. It has been
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: a great week. We got one more day to talk
• 50:46

• 50:49
  Speaker 5: time callers, a lot of callers from the Northeast. You guys, Hey,
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: they're going to have to win in the Northeast this
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: year to win the division. They got to be strong
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: up there. We were strong up there today, no doubt
• 50:59
