- 0:26Speaker 3: Morning, Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette. Thursday, December

- 0:34Speaker 3: including Mickey Spagnola. Make sure and hit him up on
- 0:38Speaker 3: mix shots if they take calls. I don't know if
- 0:40Speaker 3: they take calls over there, but make sure and wish
- 0:43Speaker 3: him a happy birthday if you want to. But we're
- 0:46Speaker 3: gonna talk Cowboys football, not the weather here today. Cowboys
- 0:50Speaker 3: vikings eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Let's do it.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Let's get after it. Davion and Illinois. You're first.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Under God. What's going on happening?
- 1:04Speaker 5: Man?
- 1:04Speaker 4: I'm good.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I just want I just want you just say what
- 1:08Speaker 1: it do? What it do?
- 1:10Speaker 4: What it do?
- 1:11Speaker 6: What it do?
- 1:11Speaker 4: My boy? What it do? What it do? Man? A
- 1:15Speaker 4: couple of things in the core prediction first phase. First,
- 1:19Speaker 4: this is my plea to our d C. Can you
- 1:23Speaker 4: please now let JJ McCarthy look like a better quarterback
- 1:29Speaker 4: than he has shown up to this point. I just
- 1:32Speaker 4: could you, please, for the love of God, do not
- 1:36Speaker 4: let this dude have a career day on our defense.
- 1:40Speaker 3: I mean, like like Jakobe Brissett, bow Nicks, Bryce Young, Russell.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Wilson, Bruh.
- 1:47Speaker 4: It's it's ridiculous how I.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Mean, they made Smith look like Geno Smith.
- 1:53Speaker 4: That's what they need to do, right, Just this guy's
- 1:57Speaker 4: he's struggling. This is rookie season. Just just do what
- 2:00Speaker 4: you gotta do to make him struggle so we can
- 2:02Speaker 4: get through this when we get to the next week. Secondly,
- 2:08Speaker 4: the Tray Diggs sake shouting in press covers has some
- 2:12Speaker 4: interesting words for saying that we're really gonna bring them
- 2:17Speaker 4: back if it's a good thing for us at him.
- 2:21Speaker 4: The choice of wording is kind of interesting there. I'm
- 2:25Speaker 4: not sure what's going on. I kind of wish we
- 2:29Speaker 4: can kind of have some kind of finality to this
- 2:32Speaker 4: because it's started to look like more like a tank
- 2:34Speaker 4: situation from last year, but something, because I think the
- 2:40Speaker 4: guy can help but apparently they don't really think he
- 2:42Speaker 4: can help en much. So I don't know, but it's crazy, crazy,
- 2:48Speaker 4: how just getting down. I think the score of the game.
- 2:53Speaker 4: I'm gonna stick with my thirty one thirty one I think, well,
- 2:58Speaker 4: actually thirty four seventeen, thirty four seventeen and we got
- 3:01Speaker 4: a space tonight. Been by jump on on Twitter later on.
- 3:06Speaker 4: But yeah, man, what.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Time is what times the spaces start?
- 3:12Speaker 4: They started? Seventh Central eight Easter.
- 3:16Speaker 1: All right, seven.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Go for a couple hours, Yeah, go for a couple
- 3:20Speaker 4: of hours. I just please lose. Don't make it. Don't
- 3:24Speaker 4: make it, don't make don't be don't be there. Please.
- 3:28Speaker 3: All right, sounds good, Thanks Dave y'all. Good, good stuff.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Good way to kick us off. You know I've said
- 3:34Speaker 3: this before. Remember the the NBA Finals when Michael Jordan
- 3:38Speaker 3: just kept hitting threes. I mean, he just he was
- 3:41Speaker 3: surprising himself. He just you know, the famous like shrug.
- 3:46Speaker 3: That's what this dig situation is. That's where I am.
- 3:49Speaker 3: I'm just I don't know every I don't know. I
- 3:53Speaker 3: don't know what shot he was saying when he was like, well,
- 3:55Speaker 3: it's got to be good for us, gotta be good
- 3:57Speaker 3: for him. You know, he's got to do the right things.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I don't I don't know, I don't know what's what's happening.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I wish I wish we knew, but you know, you
- 4:11Speaker 3: want him to play, but you also want him to
- 4:14Speaker 3: play and you know play well. So it's kind of
- 4:20Speaker 3: like that coworker who shows up and they're sick or
- 4:24Speaker 3: they're not you know, tired or whatever it is. It's like, yeah, okay,
- 4:26Speaker 3: you can be here, but if you're not gonna be
- 4:28Speaker 3: worth crap, then just go home. And I'm not saying
- 4:31Speaker 3: that's the thing with Trayvon Diggs, but if he's not
- 4:32Speaker 3: doing the right things to to be on the field
- 4:36Speaker 3: and to be good when he's on the field, then
- 4:39Speaker 3: doesn't really matter, you know what I mean. So if
- 4:41Speaker 3: he's not prepared at all, that again, we're all speculating,
- 4:44Speaker 3: and that's the thing. That's that's what you know, we'll
- 4:47Speaker 3: probably get ourselves in trouble here because that's what they've
- 4:49Speaker 3: left us to do is just kind of speculate on
- 4:52Speaker 3: this whole thing. It's it's weird. It's a weird situation.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Don't know what's going on. And I'm with you, Davion.
- 4:57Speaker 3: I'd like to see I'd like for it to end
- 4:58Speaker 3: one way or another, but it probably will when the
- 5:01Speaker 3: season's over all. Right, let's go Casey Joe in Kansas City. Man,
- 5:05Speaker 3: we think we got problems in Dallas.
- 5:07Speaker 7: Good morning, how are you doing this morning?
- 5:09Speaker 4: The good?
- 5:09Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 5:11Speaker 4: Hey buddy?
- 5:11Speaker 7: Hey, I a few weeks ago, people were talking about
- 5:15Speaker 7: how we should resign Davis, you know, the running back
- 5:18Speaker 7: right away. Well, I'd like him to give MafA and
- 5:22Speaker 7: Blue a little bit more of a chance too. I
- 5:24Speaker 7: don't think i'd want to race out and resign Davis
- 5:27Speaker 7: right away. I'd like to see him maybe go to
- 5:29Speaker 7: camp and see if he could come back, but not
- 5:32Speaker 7: resign him.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if you have to resign him.
- 5:35Speaker 3: I mean, I again, you know, he was he's in
- 5:39Speaker 3: the NFL because the Cowboys put him in the NFL,
- 5:42Speaker 3: and that's it. That's the only reason. I mean, he
- 5:43Speaker 3: wasn't with another team. He did have a nice touchdown run,
- 5:46Speaker 3: and he's doing some good things, and he's a good
- 5:48Speaker 3: special teams player. You know, there may be a spot
- 5:52Speaker 3: for him someway, you know, one way or another. But
- 5:54Speaker 3: I bet you from a priority list standpoint, he's not
- 5:57Speaker 3: really up there. But yeah, I mean he's out aid
- 6:00Speaker 3: those guys and outworked them and and and made himself
- 6:03Speaker 3: more valuable as a player. So that's why he's on
- 6:06Speaker 3: the field right now and those other guys aren't.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Yep, that's true.
- 6:10Speaker 7: I mean, he is doing his part, and I think
- 6:12Speaker 7: Shoty really likes him. Yeah, but hey, do you think
- 6:15Speaker 7: we can put Rob in Vegas and Jerry in a
- 6:17Speaker 7: room and let him work at their their situation out well?
- 6:21Speaker 3: I bet I bet Rob would would like that more
- 6:23Speaker 3: than Jerry, you know, as far as like a questions
- 6:26Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's funny. It's funny.
- 6:30Speaker 8: You know.
- 6:30Speaker 3: It all kind of goes back to Jerry. You know
- 6:33Speaker 3: it is, and that's just the way it is. Doesn't
- 6:34Speaker 3: matter what it is, what happens. It doesn't matter if
- 6:38Speaker 3: if you're talking about Shotty, it doesn't matter if the
- 6:40Speaker 3: sun gets in Pickens' eyes.
- 6:42Speaker 1: It's always about Jerry.
- 6:43Speaker 3: And that's say, when you own the team, you're the
- 6:45Speaker 3: general manager, you're the president, you're everything.
- 6:47Speaker 1: That's what happens. That's what happens. It's come from the dinner.
- 6:51Speaker 7: I'm really happy with Jerry this year because he's went
- 6:53Speaker 7: out of his way to bring in Pickens, and he
- 6:56Speaker 7: went and got Quinn Williams and you know, and he
- 6:58Speaker 7: went and got Logan he he's trying to improve the team.
- 7:01Speaker 7: I mean, some owners will be like, hey man, that's
- 7:04Speaker 7: the team, that's the way it is, and I'm not
- 7:07Speaker 7: going to replace him during the year, you know, but
- 7:09Speaker 7: Jerry's trying real hard.
- 7:12Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, hey, I don't.
- 7:13Speaker 7: Have much, but hey, my score for this week is
- 7:16Speaker 7: twenty seven Dallas twenty seven to twenty four. I think
- 7:21Speaker 7: that's I think that's what it's gonna be.
- 7:23Speaker 3: All right, sounds good. Twenty seven to twenty four Cowboys
- 7:26Speaker 3: over the Vikings. You know, going back to what Daveon
- 7:31Speaker 3: had said about about JJ McCarthy, and we've just seen
- 7:36Speaker 3: it too many times.
- 7:37Speaker 1: We've seen it so many.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Times this year where you know, the Cowboys have have
- 7:42Speaker 3: you know, faced a quarterback that just isn't what you
- 7:45Speaker 3: would isn't one of those guys that you you'd be
- 7:48Speaker 3: scared of, and they go out and they have their
- 7:50Speaker 3: best games.
- 7:50Speaker 1: It's funny.
- 7:51Speaker 3: It's like the guys that you are afraid of that
- 7:53Speaker 3: are going to play well. Mahomes Mahomes played played well.
- 7:58Speaker 3: I mean in Hurt played pretty well too. But Jared Goff,
- 8:03Speaker 3: those guys, they you know, they they they heard him
- 8:07Speaker 3: at times. The Cowboys still figured out a way to
- 8:08Speaker 3: win two of those games. And really, Jared Goff wasn't
- 8:12Speaker 3: the guy that was killing you as much as the
- 8:14Speaker 3: running back was. But yeah, but these other quarterbacks have certainly,
- 8:20Speaker 3: certainly had had their their best games. I think at
- 8:22Speaker 3: one point five of the nine quarterbacks had played their
- 8:26Speaker 3: best games against the Cowboys. I'm not sure where it
- 8:28Speaker 3: kind of stands right now. All right, eight eight eight
- 8:31Speaker 3: eight five five two two nine seven. I think the
- 8:34Speaker 3: lines are open right now, unless Chris, do we have
- 8:38Speaker 3: a call?
- 8:39Speaker 1: We do? Yes? All right, Anthony and Miami. All right, Anthony,
- 8:43Speaker 1: what's up man?
- 8:44Speaker 9: What's what's going on? Nick the Quick?
- 8:46Speaker 4: What's up?
- 8:47Speaker 8: My guy?
- 8:47Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you doing?
- 8:50Speaker 9: I'm pretty good man, I'm pretty good man. This has
- 8:53Speaker 9: been a crazy week. You know. I'm in Miami, and
- 8:55Speaker 9: I do shot somewhat of a science security world high
- 9:00Speaker 9: profile will say, Okay, he's an entertainer's an athlete. It's
- 9:08Speaker 9: a it's a knowledgeable lover of the Cowboys. Now my
- 9:12Speaker 9: call is basically kind of what he said, two things
- 9:14Speaker 9: on what he said, and then my score. So I
- 9:17Speaker 9: don't want to go on and want to bore you,
- 9:19Speaker 9: but he this has so knowledge. We said about the
- 9:22Speaker 9: defensive backfield. He said, man, we could have won two games.
- 9:27Speaker 9: This is his lineup. He said, these are our guys.
- 9:30Speaker 9: He said, he wants laying in the slot.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Time out, time out, because you're your phone cut out
- 9:35Speaker 3: probably at the at the at the most important part
- 9:37Speaker 3: of your call.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Who are you talking about here?
- 9:40Speaker 9: I'm a high profile celebrity and I don't want to
- 9:43Speaker 9: say the name that loves the cowboys. You can hear
- 9:46Speaker 9: me now, I'm moving around straight enough in the house.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Okay. Is he over seven feet tall.
- 9:53Speaker 9: Pretty much? Quarters? Yeah, something like that. And my boss
- 10:01Speaker 9: knows him real well, so you know, it's one of
- 10:02Speaker 9: them things, you know. We two brothers. We're talking and
- 10:05Speaker 9: he just said he gave a lineup on the defensive backfield.
- 10:09Speaker 8: Man.
- 10:09Speaker 9: He said he wanted Rebel, the little kid with the knee,
- 10:12Speaker 9: And I say Rebel, and I don't know if he
- 10:15Speaker 9: was ready, but he said he wanted him and Digs
- 10:18Speaker 9: at the corners playing in the slot. Carson and he
- 10:22Speaker 9: said that guy we picked up, he's like a good
- 10:24Speaker 9: slot and ready. I said, ready, store it right kind of.
- 10:27Speaker 9: I agree with him on that. And I'm gonna tell
- 10:29Speaker 9: you where this is going. This is what I'm saying
- 10:32Speaker 9: when it comes to football in this it could have
- 10:35Speaker 9: if that would have worked in a perfect world right,
- 10:37Speaker 9: could have saved us and partly could have got us
- 10:39Speaker 9: two games with that solidarity back there. But what you
- 10:42Speaker 9: have to do moving forward is just get what you
- 10:45Speaker 9: have right now. You got to get your best stuff
- 10:47Speaker 9: on the defensive field. I like Kenneth Murray. I think
- 10:50Speaker 9: he's a downhill thumper. So I think he's in the
- 10:53Speaker 9: wrong defense and a lot of people don't like him.
- 10:55Speaker 9: He's in the wrong defense. He's a great line he's
- 10:57Speaker 9: a good linebacker, but he's just in wrong And so
- 10:59Speaker 9: get the best you can and then going forward next,
- 11:02Speaker 9: sure you build on your defense. Your defense has to
- 11:04Speaker 9: be a focus. Now you've seen where you lack on defense.
- 11:08Speaker 9: Qewis help you. She will help you, and Clark has
- 11:12Speaker 9: helped you. Now what you need with great defensive tackles
- 11:15Speaker 9: any football in my nose, a great pass rusher, a
- 11:18Speaker 9: good pass rusher, and a good solid linebacker. So work
- 11:22Speaker 9: on that and you'll be all right. So by him
- 11:25Speaker 9: saying that, it kind of made me figure you're right.
- 11:28Speaker 9: So we got a hope and pray that we can
- 11:30Speaker 9: win these last four and flip. Okay, all right, Anthony,
- 11:38Speaker 9: win the damn.
- 11:38Speaker 3: Warm thanks for the thanks for the calls or your
- 11:41Speaker 3: phone was cutting in and out. But I think we
- 11:43Speaker 3: got the gist of it. You said you talked to
- 11:45Speaker 3: a high profile celebrity cowboy.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Fan in Miami. I don't know.
- 11:52Speaker 3: I was going with Shaq. That was my prediction on
- 11:56Speaker 3: that one. I can't see Shaq breaking down the defensive.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Back to the line. Maybe.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Anyways, what you're saying, Anthony is right, fix the defense,
- 12:05Speaker 3: of course. I mean, that's that's what a lot of
- 12:06Speaker 3: people are saying, and it's something to build off of.
- 12:09Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like you got to fix like,
- 12:11Speaker 3: you know, six or seven positions you need. You need
- 12:14Speaker 3: another linebacker in here that that's that's pretty good, another
- 12:17Speaker 3: pass rusher. You need some cornerback help too. So you
- 12:22Speaker 3: know that that should be the focus, and there's no
- 12:24Speaker 3: doubt about it. But I do think offensive tackle is
- 12:26Speaker 3: still going to be a spot where you need to
- 12:28Speaker 3: look at, even if it's in the first round. I
- 12:30Speaker 3: think offensive tackle is not solidified at the moment. All right,
- 12:34Speaker 3: Ronnie in New Jersey is next, right.
- 12:37Speaker 8: How are you doing, Nick Good?
- 12:38Speaker 10: How are you running not too bad?
- 12:40Speaker 8: He nick? Yeah, No, I don't think we're that far off.
- 12:44Speaker 8: I'll be honest you. I think the defensive coordinator is
- 12:47Speaker 8: the problem. Dan Quinn came in. When he came in
- 12:51Speaker 8: and took over. Uh that that disaster of a defense
- 12:56Speaker 8: that we had under McCarthy's boys, his coach, his friend whatever.
- 13:01Speaker 8: And you didn't let Shoty take out his defensive coordinator.
- 13:04Speaker 8: So what do you expect every guy and not get it.
- 13:07Speaker 8: He was a brand new coach, but every guy shot
- 13:09Speaker 8: he brought in has made a difference with the offensive line,
- 13:14Speaker 8: with the running game, with everything he has touched so
- 13:17Speaker 8: far he has made, not gold, but he has way
- 13:22Speaker 8: better than when McCarthy had done. I'll give him that.
- 13:25Speaker 8: And the defense I think now that we have finally
- 13:29Speaker 8: have defensive tackles. Yeah, a pass rusher would be nice,
- 13:33Speaker 8: you know for next year, and then just whatever, you
- 13:36Speaker 8: get the best best available. I will get a linebacker.
- 13:39Speaker 8: But aside from that, I think this this defense is
- 13:41Speaker 8: not that far off. You just need the right defensive coordinator.
- 13:45Speaker 8: That's all. That's how I see it. What do you think?
- 13:47Speaker 8: I want to get your opinion? What do you think
- 13:48Speaker 8: about the defensive coordinator.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Well, you're only as good as your last game, is
- 13:53Speaker 3: what sounds like running thanks for the for the call,
- 13:56Speaker 3: and I doing knowledge that you had the right score.
- 13:59Speaker 3: I think it was the Chiefs game. He hadn't called
- 14:01Speaker 3: since then, but I think he had the right score.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Thirty one twenty eight on the Chiefs doesn't happen a
- 14:06Speaker 3: lot A lot of people throw the score out there,
- 14:08Speaker 3: but just to hit it right on the nose, good
- 14:09Speaker 3: job on that one, you know, I say.
- 14:13Speaker 1: That is you know, three wins in a row.
- 14:16Speaker 3: We're not talking about flues because you know, other than
- 14:19Speaker 3: the fact that, hey, things are turning around, give him
- 14:21Speaker 3: some players. Maybe he's got a good defense. That was
- 14:23Speaker 3: the narrative. And then they go give up forty four
- 14:25Speaker 3: points to the lines. It's like, well, new defensive coordinator,
- 14:29Speaker 3: and I get it. That's that's the way that it goes.
- 14:33Speaker 3: I think you have to look at the whole thing,
- 14:35Speaker 3: and the whole the whole season so far has.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Not been good.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Now, the Micah situation is always going to linger there,
- 14:44Speaker 3: and it's going to linger when dan Quinn. I mean,
- 14:46Speaker 3: we want to say how great dan Quinn isn't And
- 14:49Speaker 3: believe me, I think he's a great coach, but he
- 14:53Speaker 3: only coached here with Micah, and I think we're seeing
- 14:57Speaker 3: that Micah makes your defense better or worse if he's
- 15:01Speaker 3: there or if he's not. Go back to last year
- 15:03Speaker 3: as well. Last year with Zimmer, they weren't you know,
- 15:08Speaker 3: they weren't good at all without Micah. Mike comes in
- 15:11Speaker 3: the last few weeks of the season. The last half
- 15:14Speaker 3: of the season, the Cowboys led the NFL and sacks
- 15:17Speaker 3: and he was a huge part of that. Another guy
- 15:19Speaker 3: started to get more sacks too. We're seeing it in
- 15:21Speaker 3: Green Bay as well. So he great players make you
- 15:25Speaker 3: a great coach as well. And I'm not saying that
- 15:27Speaker 3: dan Quinn isn't. But what we saw was was with
- 15:31Speaker 3: you know, obviously with with Micah here and now what
- 15:33Speaker 3: we're seeing with Fluis is he's not here. They don't
- 15:35Speaker 3: have a pass rush. They did add some other players
- 15:39Speaker 3: later in the season to a trade, and it's gotten better,
- 15:42Speaker 3: but but not to the point where you know it's
- 15:45Speaker 3: been it's been really good.
- 15:46Speaker 1: I mean this this was in.
- 15:47Speaker 3: The training camp when you're looking at it and you're like,
- 15:49Speaker 3: all right, you know, Overshrown's going to come back at
- 15:52Speaker 3: some point. I think people thought it was going to
- 15:53Speaker 3: be a little earlier than he did. And Mike is
- 15:55Speaker 3: going to sign at some point before the season, and
- 15:59Speaker 3: Trayvon Diggs is going to to come back and he's
- 16:00Speaker 3: going to play, and Bland's going to get back to
- 16:02Speaker 3: the level that you expect, and all of these things,
- 16:05Speaker 3: and you just signed Osa and and Fluce wanted them,
- 16:08Speaker 3: and he's going to take off and have a career
- 16:10Speaker 3: year and all these great things, and it hasn't hasn't
- 16:13Speaker 3: materialized for a lot of little reasons.
- 16:15Speaker 1: So I I'm not.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Saying to replace him, but as I said yesterday, I
- 16:22Speaker 3: think Schottenheimer's got to be. Shottenheimer's got to feel comfortable
- 16:26Speaker 3: with that guy. And if he is, great, but you know,
- 16:29Speaker 3: it's been documented that he was hired before, you know,
- 16:33Speaker 3: with what Schottenheimer before Schottenheimer and or at least put
- 16:39Speaker 3: in place, and so you know, maybe maybe maybe that
- 16:43Speaker 3: was his number one pick, who knows, but that has
- 16:46Speaker 3: got to be.
- 16:47Speaker 1: They've got to.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Be better there, and there there's no doubt about it.
- 16:50Speaker 3: So you know, make sure and with free agency and
- 16:53Speaker 3: draft and all that that that the pieces are in
- 16:56Speaker 3: place to make them better. And and I think that
- 16:58Speaker 3: they can be, but it's it's slowing down the offense
- 17:04Speaker 3: for sure. I mean slowing down the team because you're
- 17:06Speaker 3: just forcing the offense to be absolutely perfect. And you
- 17:09Speaker 3: know that they've had a couple of games this year
- 17:10Speaker 3: of twenty seven thirty points and didn't win, and and
- 17:14Speaker 3: and you should be winning games like that. Let's go
- 17:16Speaker 3: Jr and Avindale, Arizona.
- 17:19Speaker 8: How you doing, Hey Jr?
- 17:20Speaker 1: What's up?
- 17:21Speaker 8: Oh?
- 17:22Speaker 5: Hanging in there? Hey? This game. I'm talking about this
- 17:24Speaker 5: game a little bit. And then I got a question
- 17:26Speaker 5: for you, a little story and a question. But really
- 17:29Speaker 5: cares me about this game? Of course, I said the
- 17:31Speaker 5: other day Aaron Jones, he just wears us out and
- 17:34Speaker 5: I hope they have a plan for him. But kind
- 17:36Speaker 5: of when they played the Cardinals, I was on the
- 17:39Speaker 5: call and I said that that Marvin Harrison Junior has
- 17:43Speaker 5: not played well for the Cardinals and they would focus
- 17:46Speaker 5: on him, and they did, and we didn't really do
- 17:49Speaker 5: anything about it. That but the Cowboys and Justin Jefferson
- 17:53Speaker 5: hasn't had a lot of targets, so they're gonna they're
- 17:56Speaker 5: going to feature Justin Jefferson. I just hope they don't
- 17:59Speaker 5: put drawn Bland out there all by himself ten yards
- 18:02Speaker 5: off at Lina Scriviage. It's gonna kill us. They armon
- 18:06Speaker 5: Saint Brown. I'm on Ron Saint Brown. He was hurt
- 18:09Speaker 5: when the first play the game. They go target him
- 18:12Speaker 5: and get him the ball. So I hope they have
- 18:13Speaker 5: a better plan for Justin Jefferson because he's gonna get
- 18:18Speaker 5: a lot of targets in this game.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Yeah, who's there? Who's the other guy? Addison? Is his name? Addison?
- 18:23Speaker 5: They got They got Addison and their tight end they
- 18:27Speaker 5: feature him a lot. But yeah, Justin Jefferson is going
- 18:30Speaker 5: to be the guy.
- 18:31Speaker 1: No, there's no doubt.
- 18:32Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is is maybe maybe this week,
- 18:35Speaker 3: you've had ten days prepare, Maybe maybe Bland follows Addison everywhere.
- 18:41Speaker 5: That's what I'd like to see it happen.
- 18:42Speaker 3: And then and then double team Jeffersons is what I'm saying,
- 18:45Speaker 3: or at least shade the safety out. Yeah, I mean,
- 18:48Speaker 3: I haven't really seen that that style before.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I know that used to be back in the day.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Dion would do it.
- 18:54Speaker 3: He'd shut down Harper and then they would try to
- 18:56Speaker 3: double team Michael. Didn't always work well. But I mean
- 18:59Speaker 3: it's a it's a strategy. It's probably a better strategy
- 19:02Speaker 3: than Bland. Sorry, Bland all over? Jefferson, All right, Jay,
- 19:08Speaker 3: are you still there? You have anything else?
- 19:10Speaker 5: Yeah? No, you know my concern is. You know, I'm
- 19:14Speaker 5: not a brain surgeon. I don't work on rocket ships.
- 19:17Speaker 5: But everybody knows that Marvin Harrison was going to get
- 19:20Speaker 5: thrown to him and they didn't do anything about it.
- 19:23Speaker 5: They just let it happen. And that's what my concern
- 19:26Speaker 5: is on for this week. And the last thing I got, well,
- 19:29Speaker 5: let me give you my score real quick. I think
- 19:31Speaker 5: it's going to be thirty one twenty Cowboys, okay, and
- 19:37Speaker 5: I just got one one question, see what you think
- 19:39Speaker 5: about it, and I'll try to hurry. I was watching
- 19:42Speaker 5: the Carolina film the other day and my daughter walks
- 19:44Speaker 5: in from shopping with her mom, sitting there with their starbucks,
- 19:47Speaker 5: and she points, She goes, what's that guy doing? I
- 19:49Speaker 5: which guy? Shows that guy? She doesn't no football at all,
- 19:52Speaker 5: she said, when he was go over and chase that guy,
- 19:55Speaker 5: he went and caught a ball, and of course it
- 19:57Speaker 5: was Channce Murray not doing anything in doubt, will catch
- 20:01Speaker 5: in a pass and running for thirty yards. But my
- 20:04Speaker 5: question is, at the end of the day, why isn't
- 20:08Speaker 5: I just want to see where Schottenheimer is on this
- 20:12Speaker 5: Kenneth Murray saying, and at some point you're you, You
- 20:16Speaker 5: sit in that seat and it's your responsibility. Why isn't
- 20:20Speaker 5: I don't think Kenneth Murray should be out there, and
- 20:22Speaker 5: you know, my opinion doesn't matter, but I'd like to
- 20:25Speaker 5: Schottenheimer get involved in that, even Jerry get involved in that,
- 20:27Speaker 5: because you traded for a guy, so play him. That's
- 20:31Speaker 5: all I got. Nick, Thanks a lot, have a great day.
- 20:33Speaker 5: I'll tought you soon, all right.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 20:36Speaker 3: I think the elephant in the room here about why
- 20:39Speaker 3: is Murray playing? Why is Murray playing? And nobody wants
- 20:42Speaker 3: to hear this, but what if?
- 20:44Speaker 1: What if?
- 20:45Speaker 3: The answer is is when the guys that are over there,
- 20:48Speaker 3: and I'm pointing to the coaching side and the scouts
- 20:51Speaker 3: really not the coaches, not the scouts, the coaches, the
- 20:54Speaker 3: defensive coaches, your head coach, all that, at the end
- 20:58Speaker 3: of the day, when they value wait situation is Kenneth
- 21:02Speaker 3: Murray is the best option that we have at this
- 21:06Speaker 3: position to do these things.
- 21:09Speaker 1: And he's not good enough.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Okay, But he's the best one that we have, better
- 21:14Speaker 3: than these other guys. I think that is the answer,
- 21:18Speaker 3: And that is not good because you guys don't want
- 21:20Speaker 3: to hear that because it's not good enough. That I
- 21:24Speaker 3: think is the reality of this thing. Is the guy
- 21:27Speaker 3: that you don't want to see because he's not making
- 21:31Speaker 3: enough plays is the best that you have. I've seen
- 21:36Speaker 3: it here before at this position. I'm not gonna name names,
- 21:39Speaker 3: but I've seen it at this linebacker position, where the
- 21:44Speaker 3: guy that you want to be better than he is
- 21:46Speaker 3: is the best one on the team. So you better
- 21:50Speaker 3: fix that at some point. It may not be a
- 21:51Speaker 3: fix right now, but you know, it's what Indianapolis is
- 21:55Speaker 3: dealing with.
- 21:56Speaker 1: A quarterback.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Their best option is a forty four year old who
- 22:00Speaker 3: out of retirement. I mean, that's what does that say
- 22:04Speaker 3: about the NFL and then the quarterbacks? You know, and
- 22:06Speaker 3: maybe that's who they think is the best option. But again,
- 22:09Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know that. I'm just I would like
- 22:12Speaker 3: to think from what we've seen, they're not afraid to
- 22:15Speaker 3: make changes. They're not afraid to shot. He's not afraid
- 22:18Speaker 3: to bench players. So if Kenneth Murray is still out
- 22:22Speaker 3: there doing and playing. I think that that's who they
- 22:24Speaker 3: feel like is their best option. So let's go to

- 24:56Speaker 1: What's up? What are right here to?
- 24:57Speaker 5: Right here?
- 24:57Speaker 1: A kid in the background.
- 24:59Speaker 14: Yeah, we've got the flu running through the house since
- 25:01Speaker 14: last Thursday, so I'm coming through it. But now my
- 25:04Speaker 14: wife has it, so I'm home.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Still the gift that keeps on giving, huh.
- 25:08Speaker 14: Been one of those those weeks, man, you know how
- 25:11Speaker 14: it is.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Well, we've been talking about eber flus, so now we
- 25:14Speaker 3: can talk about a different kind of flu season.
- 25:17Speaker 8: Oh yeah, there you go.
- 25:18Speaker 1: What's up?
- 25:19Speaker 9: Man?
- 25:19Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 25:19Speaker 14: Hopefully thanks man. Hopefully I know the players get it.
- 25:22Speaker 14: That's a big thing too, right, Hopefully they all stay
- 25:24Speaker 14: healthy because there's still a chance of this thing. That's
- 25:26Speaker 14: the only reason I called, And I've been listening all
- 25:28Speaker 14: week trying to figure out a way to get up
- 25:30Speaker 14: and make a call. But you know, hopefully we the
- 25:32Speaker 14: players can stick with this because we we're stilling it right.
- 25:35Speaker 14: Philly's broken and we still have a shot at this thing.
- 25:37Speaker 14: So that's my biggest thing. Hopefully the defense bounces back.
- 25:39Speaker 14: I know the defensive line is going to bounce back.
- 25:41Speaker 14: Minnesota's got some weapons. But we've got a chance here,
- 25:44Speaker 14: So let's go out and get it.
- 25:45Speaker 4: All right, Happy week, Nick, All.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Right, thanks for the call. Still got a chance, that's right.
- 25:53Speaker 3: That's you know that old Jim Carrey line and uh,
- 25:58Speaker 3: dumb and dummer. Yeah, it's like you're saying, there's a chance.
- 26:02Speaker 3: Phi Philly is leaving the door open for you.
- 26:04Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 26:05Speaker 3: I mean, Philly, Philly's doing what your parents would yell
- 26:08Speaker 3: at you for in the summer, you know, close that door.
- 26:11Speaker 3: I don't want to have air condition of the whole neighborhood.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Well that's the Philly's doing. They's got the door open,
- 26:15Speaker 3: like anybody want to come in, Come on in. We
- 26:18Speaker 3: don't feel like shutting it. Give everybody some air. And
- 26:22Speaker 3: that's uh, that's what's happening. And so until until that,
- 26:25Speaker 3: I mean, I keep saying it, until you see that
- 26:28Speaker 3: asterisk that says eliminated. Got to keep fighting. So all right,
- 26:34Speaker 3: let's go to Katie Henderson, Nevada. Katie, what's up, Pink?
- 26:38Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? How are you doing great.
- 26:41Speaker 15: I'm gonna apologize if I'm a little repetitive. I'm out
- 26:43Speaker 15: walking my dog. So while I was calling, I wasn't
- 26:45Speaker 15: able to hear every caller, but I had to respectfully
- 26:49Speaker 15: disagree with you a little bit about the flue stuff.
- 26:51Speaker 15: I totally understand what you're saying, where good players make
- 26:55Speaker 15: good coaches, and we see not you know this Belichick
- 26:57Speaker 15: and Brady, but I just think about Aaron Glenn and
- 27:00Speaker 15: you know, all the issues they have last year with
- 27:03Speaker 15: their defense and all the injuries and him missing some
- 27:06Speaker 15: of his best players, and he still was able to adapt.
- 27:08Speaker 15: And I'm just concerned that Bluth, you know, hasn't consistently
- 27:12Speaker 15: been able to, you know, have the adaptations, get creative
- 27:16Speaker 15: when things break down. So I'm still a little concerned
- 27:18Speaker 15: that he's just not the right fit. Thank you so
- 27:21Speaker 15: much for taking that call.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Thank you, and he thanks Katie. He may not be,
- 27:24Speaker 1: I mean, he might not be.
- 27:26Speaker 3: And I'm really talking more about dan Quinn than I'm
- 27:29Speaker 3: talking about anybody else as far as as what we've
- 27:33Speaker 3: seen when a guy is here and when he's not here,
- 27:36Speaker 3: and we all know that players may make you better.
- 27:38Speaker 3: I mean there's no secret to that that they started
- 27:42Speaker 3: playing better against the Raiders, the Eagles, and the and
- 27:47Speaker 3: the Chiefs after they they got Quinn Williams and after
- 27:51Speaker 3: they got Logan Wilson, the Lions figured out a way
- 27:55Speaker 3: to kind of expose.
- 27:56Speaker 1: That a little bit. So we'll see if that was
- 27:57Speaker 1: just a small sample size or not.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Don't think anyone would argue that players make these guys better.
- 28:03Speaker 3: But but I'm not coaches can make the player better too,
- 28:07Speaker 3: which is I think to your point. And it's and
- 28:09Speaker 3: it's true. So there's a give and take here. You know,
- 28:13Speaker 3: when we talk about the phrase, you know, coaches are
- 28:17Speaker 3: supposed to adapt to their players, and the players are
- 28:19Speaker 3: supposed to adapt to.
- 28:20Speaker 1: The coaching too.
- 28:22Speaker 3: So it's got to be a give and take and
- 28:24Speaker 3: and and it hasn't been.
- 28:26Speaker 1: It hasn't been. I think when you overall at the
- 28:28Speaker 1: end of the year.
- 28:29Speaker 3: When you look at the defense, when when one side
- 28:33Speaker 3: of the room and Jerry's sitting there going all right,
- 28:35Speaker 3: what what's what do we need to do to fix this?
- 28:37Speaker 3: And say there's ten twelve people, coaches, executives, whatever, and
- 28:43Speaker 3: they say this half says we got to get better players,
- 28:46Speaker 3: and this half says, yeah, the voice in the room
- 28:49Speaker 3: isn't isn't right. It's Jerry's job to say, well, both
- 28:52Speaker 3: things might be true, both things could be true. Coaching's
- 28:56Speaker 3: got to get better, players got to get better. This
- 28:58Speaker 3: isn't a black and white situation. I think it's a
- 29:00Speaker 3: lot of great in this one. All right, let's go
- 29:03Speaker 3: to Amarillo, Texas.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Troy.
- 29:05Speaker 7: What's up, hey, man?
- 29:07Speaker 4: How's it going? Man?
- 29:08Speaker 3: Good?
- 29:08Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 29:10Speaker 6: Doing pretty good? I was nick, I was talking about
- 29:14Speaker 6: a friend of mine to day and I was talking
- 29:15Speaker 6: with him and he were saying, I said, did you
- 29:17Speaker 6: listen to the conversation that Jerry had? I think he
- 29:19Speaker 6: was on one oh five to three of the fan
- 29:20Speaker 6: It's been maybe a game or two ago. But I
- 29:23Speaker 6: don't I don't think this coordinator or any of these
- 29:26Speaker 6: coordinators are going to go anywhere, really, to be honest
- 29:29Speaker 6: with you, because he said in retrospect, I think he
- 29:32Speaker 6: said that I goes That's the one thing that I
- 29:34Speaker 6: really would like to take back is the continuity that
- 29:36Speaker 6: we've had. Our lack of continuity, man, you know, at
- 29:40Speaker 6: the coordinator positions, having different coordinators all the time. So
- 29:43Speaker 6: I think that they're probably going to hold onto these
- 29:45Speaker 6: guys you know and stuff. But I think it's nick
- 29:49Speaker 6: I really. I mean I've been watching this team, and
- 29:51Speaker 6: I know a lot of people get mad and everything.
- 29:52Speaker 6: I think, you know the way they play at times,
- 29:55Speaker 6: but I think they're a little closer than than what
- 29:58Speaker 6: people think they I mean, they just need a few things.
- 30:01Speaker 6: And I just remember this defensive coordinator. He's one of
- 30:04Speaker 6: those guys that went from worse to first in like
- 30:07Speaker 6: a year or two. I mean, if you look at
- 30:09Speaker 6: his uh, you know where he was at before. So
- 30:11Speaker 6: I'm just kind of giving the benefit of the doubt
- 30:13Speaker 6: then and then plus what Jerry said, I don't think
- 30:15Speaker 6: the guy's going anywhere.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point, Troy.
- 30:18Speaker 3: I appreciate the call good stuff, good insight, and paying
- 30:22Speaker 3: attention to what Jerry said. He exactly did say that.
- 30:25Speaker 3: It was about a week ago. That that and a
- 30:30Speaker 3: lot of it too. I mean, it's kind of what
- 30:31Speaker 3: I'm talking about with like players and coaching, like they
- 30:34Speaker 3: kind of have to help each other. I don't I
- 30:38Speaker 3: don't even know what's going on with Mozzie Smith. I mean,
- 30:40Speaker 3: I'm not sure if Mozzie's playing well or playing at all.
- 30:42Speaker 3: With the Jets. I really don't know, but Mozzie's one
- 30:45Speaker 3: of those examples. And the reason why I bring him
- 30:47Speaker 3: up is is, you know he's he was here, this
- 30:50Speaker 3: is his third year. He had three different coordinators. You know,
- 30:53Speaker 3: is say they do move on from Flus looking at
- 30:56Speaker 3: it Overshown Overshown. This could be Overshown's fourth year here
- 30:59Speaker 3: and over and would have four coordinators. Continuity is needed.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Uh did it bother Micah? No, not really because Mike
- 31:07Speaker 3: and Mike's got another coordinator in Green Bay and and
- 31:10Speaker 3: and you know, I've never coached the defense before, but
- 31:14Speaker 3: if I was the defensive coordinator and I had Micah Parsons,
- 31:17Speaker 3: I would be like, hey, rush from over here.
- 31:21Speaker 5: You know.
- 31:22Speaker 3: I would be like what Bill Kawer said to Greg
- 31:24Speaker 3: Lloyd in that old NFL film's clip where you've seen
- 31:27Speaker 3: a thousand times where he goes up to Greg Lloyd
- 31:30Speaker 3: in the middle of the game and he says, rush
- 31:32Speaker 3: the quarterback. That's what I would do. That would be
- 31:35Speaker 3: my job if I was the coordinator. So my point
- 31:38Speaker 3: is is that if you have really good, badass players
- 31:40Speaker 3: like Micah Parsons, not that hard throw out there, if
- 31:43Speaker 3: you have to really do coaching. Some of these guys
- 31:45Speaker 3: actually need a little bit more than that. Then having
- 31:49Speaker 3: three different coordinators in three years or what a lot
- 31:53Speaker 3: of people are asking for four and four years, it
- 31:56Speaker 3: is tough to have some continuity there. So I thought
- 32:00Speaker 3: that that's a really good point. And I think if
- 32:03Speaker 3: the defense can show some improvement here, these last four
- 32:07Speaker 3: games are probably important for for others, you know, and
- 32:11Speaker 3: important for the staff. Go out there and shut some
- 32:14Speaker 3: people down, because if it looks a lot like the
- 32:17Speaker 3: Lions game for the next month, then you might see
- 32:21Speaker 3: some some big changes. I don't think Jerry wants to
- 32:23Speaker 3: make a change. But if you play like if you
- 32:26Speaker 3: keep playing like you've played, and and you have some
- 32:29Speaker 3: games where you're you're letting these these quarterbacks that aren't
- 32:32Speaker 3: so great just just light you up and up and
- 32:34Speaker 3: down the field, then could be a problem.
- 32:37Speaker 1: I'm telling you this.
- 32:38Speaker 3: I mean the Chargers, I mean Herbert if he's if
- 32:41Speaker 3: he's spending it and and and you know, the Cowboys
- 32:44Speaker 3: have no answers there. That could be a long long
- 32:47Speaker 3: day as well. So they they definitely have some weapons,
- 32:51Speaker 3: and they got a lot of different guys, and he
- 32:53Speaker 3: can throw the ball around, so they're gonna have to
- 32:55Speaker 3: figure this out now. Obviously Minnesota's first. I'm not trying
- 32:58Speaker 3: to skip ahead, but I'm saying is that Cowboys defense
- 33:01Speaker 3: needs some really good games here down the stretch, all right.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Michael in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
- 33:07Speaker 16: Hey, I got a question if David's is our best
- 33:10Speaker 16: option next year for the draft. We don't have a
- 33:14Speaker 16: second or third. We're not going to draft running back
- 33:18Speaker 16: with a first round pick, So what are we gonna
- 33:22Speaker 16: do about that situation?
- 33:23Speaker 8: Oh?
- 33:23Speaker 16: By the way, Dallas twenty eighth, Minnesota ten.
- 33:29Speaker 3: I don't see it. I don't see it that much
- 33:31Speaker 3: of a blowout. I think this is gonna be one
- 33:33Speaker 3: of those games that comes down to the to the end.
- 33:35Speaker 3: I just I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't
- 33:38Speaker 3: see that.
- 33:39Speaker 16: You know, Like yesterday I said, you know, we got
- 33:41Speaker 16: to get the running game going. I think we will,
- 33:44Speaker 16: and we got to shut down Jefferson. I think we will.
- 33:48Speaker 16: So that's why I'm going twenty eight tens. But I mean, yeah,
- 33:51Speaker 16: if this is the best we got, I mean, what
- 33:54Speaker 16: are we gonna do? Trade it is? You know, trade
- 33:57Speaker 16: for another running back? You're an offseason toy.
- 34:01Speaker 3: I think this would be the year that you draft
- 34:03Speaker 3: somebody I mean I I and not in the fifth
- 34:06Speaker 3: round and not someone who was a backup in his
- 34:09Speaker 3: on his previous team. I'm talking about a guy that
- 34:11Speaker 3: that could run run the football. Second round, third round.
- 34:16Speaker 3: That's that's I think it's time to do that. And
- 34:19Speaker 3: I know you need to help on defense. I mean,
- 34:20Speaker 3: I get it, I mean you I. I really think
- 34:23Speaker 3: the Cowboys are going to have to move some picks
- 34:25Speaker 3: backwards more than anything because they need some better quality picks.
- 34:29Speaker 3: They have a lot of picks. They're gonna probably need
- 34:31Speaker 3: better quality picks. And I you know, no second third
- 34:34Speaker 3: round pick right now, so I would imagine that one
- 34:37Speaker 3: of those first rounders gets moved back.
- 34:39Speaker 16: If not both, well, I'll be looking forward to watching that.
- 34:42Speaker 16: Then I'll be thinking about your comments when I say it,
- 34:46Speaker 16: I hope, I hope you're right.
- 34:48Speaker 1: M Well, I appreciate it.
- 34:50Speaker 3: You know, everyone talks about the Notre Dame running back,
- 34:55Speaker 3: which you know, I'll be looking forward to see him
- 34:58Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Oh, I mean or in the Oh no,
- 35:01Speaker 3: I guess not. I guess I'm not ever again, But yeah,
- 35:05Speaker 3: I have.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Thoughts on on the college football playoff.
- 35:08Speaker 3: But not really for this show. Ole Miss running back.
- 35:12Speaker 3: I don't know where he stands as far as draft
- 35:14Speaker 3: prediction and all that. I haven't really looked at that
- 35:17Speaker 3: Ole Miss running back. I think his name is Lacey.
- 35:20Speaker 3: He looks good to me. He looks like a good
- 35:23Speaker 3: NFL prospect type.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Again. He could have a sixth round grade or no grade.
- 35:27Speaker 1: I really don't know.
- 35:29Speaker 3: But when I watch him, and I watch SEC football
- 35:31Speaker 3: a lot, I see him and I think he's he's
- 35:33Speaker 3: pretty good. He looks like a good NFL type back.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Let's go to break here on Cowboys storyline. I'll be

- 37:05Speaker 3: San Angel has been waiting, Chris, what's up man?
- 37:08Speaker 19: Hey, mister Nick, how you doing, buddy? I'm good, I'm
- 37:11Speaker 19: doing well. Thank you.
- 37:12Speaker 9: Hey.
- 37:13Speaker 19: I just have a couple of things. I'm gonna as
- 37:15Speaker 19: far as this game goes, I'm gonna go ahead and
- 37:17Speaker 19: pick the Cowboys to win this twenty eight to twenty four,
- 37:22Speaker 19: just because I think that JJ already had his breakout game,
- 37:26Speaker 19: so maybe it won't happen against US. Okay, So that's
- 37:30Speaker 19: that's my reasoning there. Now I have a question for you.
- 37:34Speaker 19: It's like an all timer question, and you've probably been
- 37:38Speaker 19: asked this before, but anyway, just humor me, I guess
- 37:42Speaker 19: the Mount Rushmore of Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks? Who were your four?
- 37:49Speaker 19: Because I think that there's two no brainers, But I
- 37:52Speaker 19: think depending on how long you've been watching the Cowboys,
- 37:55Speaker 19: it can get really dicey.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Yeah, after that, who's yours? I mean, let's just say, Okay,
- 38:01Speaker 3: Troy and Roger?
- 38:02Speaker 1: Who else?
- 38:03Speaker 19: Okay, it's really tough. That's almost why I asked you.
- 38:06Speaker 19: But I'm going to go with Danny and Dak and
- 38:12Speaker 19: I not don't really have a reason except Danny was
- 38:17Speaker 19: the catch away from probably becoming a super Bowl winning
- 38:21Speaker 19: quarterback in my opinion, and Dak mainly on the realm
- 38:27Speaker 19: of you know, he's got you know, he's holding some
- 38:29Speaker 19: records right now. But there, you know, there's like my
- 38:33Speaker 19: dad would say, he would tell you he would fight
- 38:36Speaker 19: you about Don Meredith. Yes, I mean that was his guy.
- 38:41Speaker 19: He used to say, Well, obviously, if you knew anything
- 38:44Speaker 19: about Don Merrithy, you know how you know he's how
- 38:48Speaker 19: likable he is. Yeah, my dad, My dad would have
- 38:51Speaker 19: argued that guy was tough as nails too, and he
- 38:54Speaker 19: was a drake QB in his time. But anyway, I
- 38:58Speaker 19: just wanted to see what you thought.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Now, that's a great question.
- 39:03Speaker 3: I'll say this, and and Chris, before you hang up,
- 39:07Speaker 3: let me ask you this. The ball, the ball's on
- 39:11Speaker 3: the twenty eight yard line. Your on twenty eight yard line.
- 39:13Speaker 3: You have two minutes and twelve seconds to go. You
- 39:16Speaker 3: gotta score a touchdown. You got seventy two yards, you
- 39:19Speaker 3: got some time, got some weapons, seventy two yards to
- 39:23Speaker 3: go score in a couple of minutes.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Who do you want?
- 39:28Speaker 19: That's a well, that's almost no. It's gotta be Rogers, Okay,
- 39:32Speaker 19: Roger and Troy.
- 39:32Speaker 1: We already put them on the list. Now the other
- 39:34Speaker 1: guy is who do you want?
- 39:36Speaker 3: Because I'm gonna tell you right now, give me Tony,
- 39:41Speaker 3: give me Romo. That's in that scenario with the game
- 39:45Speaker 3: on the line, I'll take Tony. And so for that reason,
- 39:50Speaker 3: when I look at that, because O, there's you know
- 39:51Speaker 3: you can do different eras, different different times, different awards
- 39:55Speaker 3: and records and all that. But I when the game's
- 39:58Speaker 3: on the line the fourth quarter, I'll take I'll take
- 40:00Speaker 3: Romo to drive him down the field.
- 40:02Speaker 19: Okay, yeah, you're right, Yeah, already Roger saying, but who
- 40:06Speaker 19: so clearly, who are you for?
- 40:08Speaker 1: I'll go with I'll go with Roger, Troy, Romo and.
- 40:12Speaker 9: Dak Okay, really all right? Great question, good man.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Great question. I have I feeling people are going to
- 40:19Speaker 3: throw in theirs as well. Good stuff, Chris, Let's keep
- 40:22Speaker 3: it going. Let's go Dylan, Northport, Florida, Dylan something.
- 40:26Speaker 10: Man, Hey, how you doing. I'm good, you, I'm good. Listen,
- 40:31Speaker 10: Christ from San Angelo and I got beef now because
- 40:33Speaker 10: how is he going to disrespect my boy Tony like that?
- 40:36Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's a great question.
- 40:38Speaker 3: I kind of wish it was earlier in the show
- 40:40Speaker 3: because I have a feeling and it's one of those
- 40:42Speaker 3: you can just kind of throw in there quickly, you
- 40:45Speaker 3: know what I mean, like like who would be here for?
- 40:50Speaker 10: Well, you know, I wasn't around during during the older years,
- 40:53Speaker 10: but obviously, I mean, I guess you got to put
- 40:55Speaker 10: stollback and Akman in there. I didn't get to see
- 40:57Speaker 10: them play. But if Tony is the quarterback I grew
- 40:59Speaker 10: up with, you like, that was my first time, you know,
- 41:02Speaker 10: I was I was in I don't know, third fourth
- 41:04Speaker 10: grade something like that when Tony got to start, so
- 41:08Speaker 10: uh not even that, No, I was even a little
- 41:11Speaker 10: old than that. Anyways, he was the first quarterback we
- 41:13Speaker 10: had where I was watching the game and I'm like, wow,
- 41:15Speaker 10: that you can have a team that's actually like good.
- 41:17Speaker 10: This is crazy, and the quarterback has a lot to
- 41:19Speaker 10: do with it. But that's the guy I grew up with.
- 41:21Speaker 10: And I think he got a raw deal of injuries.
- 41:23Speaker 10: I know, he was the glue team together, you know
- 41:25Speaker 10: all those years, eight and eight years without him would
- 41:28Speaker 10: have been a worse team, you know than that. But
- 41:30Speaker 10: I think he was.
- 41:33Speaker 3: He was the diaper. I mean that, You're right what
- 41:35Speaker 3: I always called him, the diaper. He take the diaper off,
- 41:37Speaker 3: doesn't look so good. He covers up a lot of crap.
- 41:40Speaker 10: So yeah, there's so many instances where he just got
- 41:43Speaker 10: kind of screwed. The Creighton stopped running his route. I mean,
- 41:45Speaker 10: he threw the game when he touchdown pass against the
- 41:47Speaker 10: Giants and O seven and Creighton stopped his route at
- 41:49Speaker 10: the corner.
- 41:50Speaker 8: So that was the game.
- 41:51Speaker 10: The game was over at that point.
- 41:52Speaker 3: So he's right, it's the It's not the Creighton drop
- 41:56Speaker 3: that hurt this team.
- 41:57Speaker 1: It was the Craton back shoulder of the zone and
- 42:01Speaker 1: stopped running, stopped stopped running.
- 42:06Speaker 10: It's sickening.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Yeah, now you have got it.
- 42:09Speaker 3: Yeah he would have because ironically enough, Creighton had absolutely
- 42:13Speaker 3: great hands.
- 42:14Speaker 1: Yeah he did. That's what sucks about it.
- 42:16Speaker 10: Yeah, and just think about I think about it all
- 42:19Speaker 10: the time. How like the NFL history, it would have
- 42:21Speaker 10: been changed. Eli Manning might not be a Hall of
- 42:23Speaker 10: Famer because we all know he's getting in because of
- 42:24Speaker 10: the Super Bowl wins, but he might not be a
- 42:26Speaker 10: Hall of Famer without Creighton stopping his route like it's crazy,
- 42:29Speaker 10: well and catching it and all.
- 42:32Speaker 1: That good stuff. All right, So I guess you're putting
- 42:35Speaker 1: Rabu in, but go ahead ahead, was my.
- 42:39Speaker 10: Dude, Romos, my guy, So he's in. I only just
- 42:42Speaker 10: tuned in I hurds and talked about eber flu. So
- 42:44Speaker 10: I just want to call in and just real quick,
- 42:45Speaker 10: you know, I don't want to ever like root for
- 42:48Speaker 10: a guy to lose his job or anything, because that's
- 42:49Speaker 10: just kind of a crappy thing to do. But to
- 42:52Speaker 10: be fair, you know, we're in operation max stack mode.
- 42:56Speaker 10: We talked about it all the time to twenty twenty eight,
- 42:58Speaker 10: you got you got a small window, so I guess
- 43:00Speaker 10: you got a way out. Is it better for the
- 43:01Speaker 10: continuity's sake to try to get this thing righted next year?
- 43:04Speaker 10: Or is it quicker to bring in a guy who
- 43:07Speaker 10: who might be available to write the year. I want
- 43:09Speaker 10: a DC or coordinator who elevates the bad players, like,
- 43:13Speaker 10: of course you're bringing twenty Williams. Of course you're bringing
- 43:15Speaker 10: better players. You're going to be better, like I would
- 43:16Speaker 10: be better as a coordinator with better players, Like I
- 43:19Speaker 10: want the guy who's going to elevate the worst players
- 43:21Speaker 10: to be average players, and the average players be you know,
- 43:23Speaker 10: good players and all that. So that's that's my only
- 43:25Speaker 10: kind of beef with him, is I'm not sure he's
- 43:27Speaker 10: done that this year?
- 43:28Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I'm with you.
- 43:29Speaker 3: And I think you can always make that argument too
- 43:32Speaker 3: about about you know, older coaches. I mean, the game's
- 43:35Speaker 3: changing all the time and you want to I mean,
- 43:39Speaker 3: you got to roll with it. You can't just say,
- 43:40Speaker 3: well this worked ten years ago. This worked fifteen years ago.
- 43:44Speaker 3: I mean that's not what's working on offense now, so
- 43:46Speaker 3: you have to kind of adapt with it as well.
- 43:50Speaker 10: Yeah, and if I have seen any more Campus two
- 43:51Speaker 10: with Kenneth Murray run down the field and going to
- 43:53Speaker 10: pull my hair out, and I'm baald as hell Man
- 43:55Speaker 10: trying got your hair.
- 43:56Speaker 3: But yeah, all right, all right, so I gotta keep it,
- 43:59Speaker 3: all right, Dylan, all right, we got to repeat. Caller here,
- 44:02Speaker 3: Ronnie in New Jersey's calling back.
- 44:05Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Nick, listen, Oh.
- 44:08Speaker 3: You gotta have a score. If you're the last one
- 44:09Speaker 3: to have a pick, you gotta have a score.
- 44:11Speaker 1: What's up?
- 44:12Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what Actually. I was like, oh man, I
- 44:14Speaker 8: forgot to call him. I give him my score. But yeah,
- 44:18Speaker 8: I was, as I heard you saying about Kansas City. Yeah,
- 44:22Speaker 8: I was like when I hit it, I was like,
- 44:23Speaker 8: oh wow, I got it right. Yeah, And I was
- 44:27Speaker 8: trying to make it to the next game, but to
- 44:30Speaker 8: give you the score. But I knew it wasn't going
- 44:32Speaker 8: to be good, So I was like, you know, I'm
- 44:33Speaker 8: not calling here for that one, all right, but I
- 44:36Speaker 8: think it's gonna be there's going to be a low score,
- 44:40Speaker 8: I mean low scoring for what we usually scored, but
- 44:43Speaker 8: I think it's going to be thirty one twenty four Cowboys. Okay,
- 44:49Speaker 8: all right, and thanks for taking my call again.
- 44:52Speaker 1: All right, sounds good?
- 44:53Speaker 3: All right, we have one more caller. Yeah, let's do
- 44:56Speaker 3: it one more Sergeant Sue, let's do this thing.
- 45:00Speaker 5: He's everybody.
- 45:00Speaker 20: How you doing, Nick, I'll be quick. Hey, I was
- 45:02Speaker 20: gonna ask, And I guess people can enter on the
- 45:04Speaker 20: next show what players that they feel has been playing
- 45:07Speaker 20: okay but needs to take that next step to really
- 45:10Speaker 20: help us make a push. One player that I feel
- 45:12Speaker 20: like is playing okay but can take the next step
- 45:14Speaker 20: is Revel. He's been playing not bad. He had a
- 45:16Speaker 20: bit of a hiccup game, but I'm hoping that he
- 45:18Speaker 20: can grow from that. He could watch the film, he
- 45:20Speaker 20: can gain a.
- 45:20Speaker 9: Little bit more confidence.
- 45:21Speaker 20: And I think something that will be really smart is,
- 45:23Speaker 20: like you mentioned earlier, putting him across from Jefferson and
- 45:27Speaker 20: having safety help, giving him that like tough challenge not
- 45:31Speaker 20: so great quarterback to kind of give him some confidence.
- 45:33Speaker 20: I do think that that will help him grow going forward.
- 45:36Speaker 20: And I think that a final score will be thirty
- 45:37Speaker 20: one twenty four Dallas. I'll hang up thank you so
- 45:40Speaker 20: much for.
- 45:40Speaker 4: Scooking me and brother.
- 45:41Speaker 3: All right, man, good stuff. That's two in a row
- 45:44Speaker 3: from thirty one to twenty four scores. Can you imagine, like,
- 45:47Speaker 3: let's say that that does happen. Let's say Revel's the
- 45:50Speaker 3: guy and he goes up against Jefferson, and then he's
- 45:54Speaker 3: gonna have some help at times, but sometimes he may not.
- 45:57Speaker 20: You know.
- 45:57Speaker 3: It's just like I like your offensive tackled, you know,
- 45:59Speaker 3: going up again. It's a great rusher. Every now and
- 46:01Speaker 3: again the guy will chip, but sometimes he's not. So
- 46:04Speaker 3: you're gonna have to be out there on an island
- 46:06Speaker 3: at times. Imagine if that happens, where Revel goes up
- 46:11Speaker 3: against Jefferson and the Cowboys win the game and he
- 46:14Speaker 3: has a couple of nice plays, Jefferson doesn't really go
- 46:17Speaker 3: off and maybe, who knows, maybe Revel gets a pick
- 46:20Speaker 3: or something. We would talk about that game all off season,
- 46:23Speaker 3: you know, all off season going into next year. The
- 46:27Speaker 3: talk on Revel would be injured. Halfway through the year,
- 46:32Speaker 3: he comes in, he plays a little bit, They threw
- 46:34Speaker 3: him out there.
- 46:34Speaker 1: He had some good moments.
- 46:36Speaker 3: Remember that game against the Vikings when he played really
- 46:38Speaker 3: well against Jefferson.
- 46:39Speaker 5: You know.
- 46:40Speaker 3: I mean, it'll be those type of things that we
- 46:42Speaker 3: talked about. This is an opportunity for Revel to do
- 46:44Speaker 3: that kind of stuff and to have that and that's
- 46:46Speaker 3: what to me, that's what I look at for the
- 46:48Speaker 3: final month of the season. Yes, I want the Cowboys
- 46:51Speaker 3: to keep winning or to win and maybe you know,
- 46:55Speaker 3: ride this thing up all the way and get a
- 46:57Speaker 3: chance to get in the playoffs and then you never
- 46:59Speaker 3: know what happens. That doesn't happen, then you know, what
- 47:02Speaker 3: else are you looking for? But we're still doing the show.
- 47:04Speaker 3: We're gonna do it every day, so we'll be talking
- 47:07Speaker 3: about things like that. And so who's playing Okay that
- 47:11Speaker 3: can take that next level?
- 47:13Speaker 1: Revel?
- 47:14Speaker 3: Who who else? How about Overshown? Overshown's come back from injuries,
- 47:19Speaker 3: done pretty good, made some plays here and there. Let's
- 47:23Speaker 3: take that next level though, I mean it's it's the same.
- 47:26Speaker 3: They both were injured. Now they came on, you know,
- 47:29Speaker 3: four games ago or so. Now we'll see if Overshown
- 47:33Speaker 3: can take that next leap as well, because they really
- 47:36Speaker 3: need it and they obviously need him to do that.
- 47:38Speaker 3: And I'd like to see Shamar James kind of get
- 47:40Speaker 3: back into you know, making some plays that as well.
- 47:44Speaker 3: Now he's not playing as much because Overshown's taking snaps.
- 47:48Speaker 3: It's just like Logan Wilson is. They're taking snaps from
- 47:50Speaker 3: some of these guys. But I'd like to see Shamar
- 47:53Speaker 3: James kind of, you know, as a rookie year, maybe
- 47:56Speaker 3: do a couple of things sort of the end to
- 47:57Speaker 3: kind of get his arrow moving forward as he moves
- 48:00Speaker 3: into his second season. All Right, good show, guys, another
- 48:03Speaker 3: thirteen callers. We'll do it again tomorrow and do more
- 48:07Speaker 3: score predictions and kind of wrap up the week as
- 48:09Speaker 3: we head into the Sunday night game against the Vikings.
- 48:12Speaker 3: All Right, guys, for Chris Beam, Nick Heatman, we'll see
- 48:14Speaker 3: you tomorrow.
