- 0:03Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:05Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Cowboys these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 1: What's up? Happy Friday? Everyone? It is Cowboys storyline. I
- 0:24Speaker 1: am Nick Eatman and it is Friday, October twenty seventh.
- 0:27Speaker 1: The Cowboys will take on the Los Angeles Rams on
- 0:30Speaker 1: Sunday at noon at AT and T Stadium. And it
- 0:34Speaker 1: has been a long week, long two weeks to get
- 0:36Speaker 1: from game to game. These two back to back games
- 0:40Speaker 1: against Los Angeles teams, certainly has taken a long time
- 0:44Speaker 1: to get there. But it's good for the Cowboys, good
- 0:46Speaker 1: break for them. Mostly healthy healthy, I would say I
- 0:50Speaker 1: was gonna say fully healthy. That's what they were on
- 0:53Speaker 1: Wednesday when everybody on the team practice. But of course
- 0:57Speaker 1: yesterday and Thursday's practice, Tyron Smith popped up with a
- 1:01Speaker 1: neck injury. He's limited. We'll see what his status is
- 1:05Speaker 1: moving forward. As as Patrick Walker said, you know, had
- 1:11Speaker 1: it was fun while it lasted. I think he tweeted
- 1:14Speaker 1: out about the team being completely healthy. And you know,
- 1:18Speaker 1: of course with with Tyron, you know his injuries history. Uh,
- 1:22Speaker 1: they're always going to be very cautious with him. So
- 1:26Speaker 1: hopefully for him, it's a situation that that is just
- 1:29Speaker 1: something minor that that kept him out a little bit. Now, Uh,
- 1:32Speaker 1: what I've been told, if you miss a couple of plays,
- 1:37Speaker 1: maybe even one play because of an injury, uh, you're
- 1:40Speaker 1: you're supposed to be you know, limited because you didn't
- 1:44Speaker 1: you you weren't a full participant. So it could be anything,
- 1:47Speaker 1: you know, that that that keeps a guy out and
- 1:49Speaker 1: puts him on the injury report. All right, Uh, Cowboys
- 1:53Speaker 1: and Rams is the big topic. Of course, a lot
- 1:55Speaker 1: of people have been talking all week about the trade
- 1:58Speaker 1: deadline next Tuesday. The Cowboys make a move there. Jerry
- 2:01Speaker 1: Jones talked on the field yesterday during practice, which is, uh,
- 2:06Speaker 1: you know, abnormal. I mean, he doesn't normally do that,
- 2:10Speaker 1: but uh, and sometimes when that does happen, it kind
- 2:12Speaker 1: of causes people to think, is he does he have
- 2:14Speaker 1: something to say? Is he's trying to push a narrative?
- 2:18Speaker 1: And maybe so, But if he continues to say that,
- 2:21Speaker 1: the same things of you know, we're not looking for trades.
- 2:25Speaker 1: If somebody has an offer and that they come to us, fine,
- 2:28Speaker 1: we're not you know, aggressively looking for trades, which is
- 2:31Speaker 1: something he's got to say, you know, whether that's true
- 2:35Speaker 1: or not, He's going to say that you don't want
- 2:37Speaker 1: to cause more problems in your own locker room here
- 2:40Speaker 1: by saying, yeah, we're looking for deals, we want to
- 2:42Speaker 1: make trades. So you know, there's there's something to be said.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Here are the cowboys trying to get better? Yes, always,
- 2:49Speaker 1: and so if something comes up, they'll be looking to
- 2:52Speaker 1: do that, all right, eight eight, eight, eight, five five
- 2:54Speaker 1: two two ninety seven. That is the number to call.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You can text at eight one seven two nine zero
- 2:59Speaker 1: three nine eight. Let's go right to the callers. We'll
- 3:02Speaker 1: see how many we can get today. Alfonso in Miami,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you're first, what's up?
- 3:08Speaker 4: What's up?
- 3:08Speaker 5: Man?
- 3:09Speaker 6: Oh?
- 3:09Speaker 5: How y'all doing?
- 3:10Speaker 3: Man?
- 3:10Speaker 1: We're doing good? How about you? This is Miami, right, I'm.
- 3:13Speaker 5: Doing well man. But all like you were just saying, man,
- 3:16Speaker 5: I basically want to just give him an input basically
- 3:18Speaker 5: on this trade deadline thing that I hear a lot
- 3:20Speaker 5: of people talking about and players that I hear a
- 3:24Speaker 5: lot of people saying that we should we should make
- 3:26Speaker 5: a trade for. I'm not really all the way with
- 3:29Speaker 5: the players that they saying and the things that we
- 3:32Speaker 5: should do. I have a lot of faith in the
- 3:34Speaker 5: players that we do have on this team. I hear
- 3:36Speaker 5: a lot of people saying, go out there and get
- 3:37Speaker 5: Dereck Harry. I'm not really with that because I feel
- 3:40Speaker 5: like that's a slapping the face tour towards on Tony
- 3:43Speaker 5: Pollock as I lead and back. This is first year
- 3:46Speaker 5: as a leading back. I know he haven't given us
- 3:49Speaker 5: one hundred yard game yet, but I have a lot
- 3:51Speaker 5: of faith in them.
- 3:52Speaker 7: Man.
- 3:52Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to sense of some great games going
- 3:55Speaker 5: forward with Tony Poler, including this week versus the Rams.
- 4:00Speaker 1: So I think I think the point is if if
- 4:03Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about specific one player, I'm saying
- 4:06Speaker 1: more help for Poler, that if he had another back
- 4:09Speaker 1: that can take some of the load, he could be
- 4:12Speaker 1: the guy that we've seen in the in the last
- 4:14Speaker 1: couple of years that maybe more, you know, less is
- 4:18Speaker 1: more with toy.
- 4:20Speaker 5: So you're saying you prefer him as a number two,
- 4:22Speaker 5: he played better as a number two, then.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I like calling it a one, A one B, you know,
- 4:27Speaker 1: and you know, and mainly because Poler didn't get a
- 4:30Speaker 1: lot of carries. It doesn't have to be a Pro
- 4:34Speaker 1: Bowl type guy. I just think you know, and maybe
- 4:38Speaker 1: Rico davel is the guy. Whatever it is, go.
- 4:40Speaker 5: Ahead, That's what I was going to get into it, Rico,
- 4:43Speaker 5: Like I just want to say, I know you got
- 4:44Speaker 5: other callers, but I wanted to say this, like I
- 4:46Speaker 5: got faith in Rico. I feel like we got what
- 4:49Speaker 5: it takes to really we haven't even really used Hunter
- 4:51Speaker 5: Lyfky like that. I feel like he's he's a good
- 4:54Speaker 5: player that we can also put him on Adam in
- 4:56Speaker 5: the mix and before you go to the next call,
- 4:59Speaker 5: I want to say about the what I hear a
- 5:00Speaker 5: lot of people saying, go get the butte Adam. I
- 5:02Speaker 5: don't think Cowboys Nation. I don't think it's time to
- 5:05Speaker 5: really give up on Michael Gallup at this time. I
- 5:07Speaker 5: think he's going to get you know, I think he
- 5:09Speaker 5: got a lot more left in the tank. I think
- 5:11Speaker 5: he's going to get better at the season progress.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Man.
- 5:13Speaker 1: That's just my opinion, and it's mine as well. I've
- 5:16Speaker 1: said it a few times. I think Michael Gallup is
- 5:18Speaker 1: a is a three number three receiver, you know, and
- 5:22Speaker 1: I don't think they need to give up on him.
- 5:25Speaker 5: I'm not ready to I'm ready. I'm not ready to
- 5:27Speaker 5: really push the button on the gallop like that. Yet
- 5:29Speaker 5: I think he still got a left a lot left.
- 5:31Speaker 3: In the tank.
- 5:31Speaker 8: I'm not really ready yet.
- 5:32Speaker 1: All right, all right, i'lfonzou good call, good good way
- 5:35Speaker 1: to start us off here on a Friday. You know
- 5:39Speaker 1: he's saying the running backs are within you know, I
- 5:43Speaker 1: have to I shouldn't know this. I know the Cowboys
- 5:46Speaker 1: are traded a fourth round pick for next year for
- 5:49Speaker 1: Trey Lance. I want to say a fifth for for
- 5:53Speaker 1: Gilmore as well. I think Cooks, Cooks or Gilboat. One
- 5:58Speaker 1: of them was for twenty twenty four. I'm sorry, twenty
- 6:01Speaker 1: twenty five, I believe. So they haven't traded a lot
- 6:04Speaker 1: of their Day three picks, but but they're traded some already.
- 6:06Speaker 1: So you know, they don't want to get too far
- 6:09Speaker 1: into making making trades and getting and getting rid of
- 6:12Speaker 1: picks for next year. But you know, again, if it's
- 6:15Speaker 1: a situation that makes sense, then they'll do that, all right,
- 6:18Speaker 1: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
- 6:21Speaker 9: Uh.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Let's let's try to jump on the on the calls today.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I got I've got another one Aaron and Youngstown, Ohio.
- 6:27Speaker 1: But the lines are open, so let's go airin and
- 6:30Speaker 1: airin you're up.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Though, Hey, Nick, good morning, how's it going today?
- 6:33Speaker 1: Good morning?
- 6:34Speaker 10: How are you not too bad?
- 6:35Speaker 6: And you good?
- 6:37Speaker 10: Great?
- 6:37Speaker 2: Good.
- 6:38Speaker 4: So just kind of wanted to touch a little bit
- 6:41Speaker 4: back on the trades and everything and kind of parting
- 6:44Speaker 4: with picks and the one the one thing you look
- 6:47Speaker 4: at is everyone wants I know, you can't really get
- 6:48Speaker 4: into the names, and obviously the one of the popular
- 6:51Speaker 4: names is the quarter from Denver. Everybody kind of wants
- 6:54Speaker 4: them to go get him. But you're you're going to
- 6:56Speaker 4: be looking at probably two ones minimum to even get
- 6:59Speaker 4: the conversation started with that. And I mean, if you're
- 7:02Speaker 4: not gonna be trading two ones and then not pay
- 7:05Speaker 4: the guy, So you're gonna have to pay that guy
- 7:07Speaker 4: if you part with two first round picks to even
- 7:09Speaker 4: acquire him. And what most fans seem to forget is
- 7:15Speaker 4: this team's drafts very well. And the reason that they
- 7:18Speaker 4: don't make huge splashes for guys that they're gonna have
- 7:21Speaker 4: to pay is because since twenty ten, they've drafted thirteen
- 7:25Speaker 4: guys that have either been a first or second team
- 7:27Speaker 4: All Pro and they've drafted seventeen Pro Bowlers. So I
- 7:29Speaker 4: mean they're they're drafting well, and they're having to pay
- 7:32Speaker 4: premium to keep their guys. So, I mean, I know
- 7:35Speaker 4: you said it before that whenever they go in and
- 7:38Speaker 4: a lot of fans think that they're not paying for
- 7:40Speaker 4: the top free agent, well a lot of times they
- 7:41Speaker 4: are paying for the top guy in the market because
- 7:43Speaker 4: it's their own guy. Yeah, you're if you're gonna, yeah,
- 7:47Speaker 4: if you're gonna, If you're gonna trade and part with
- 7:50Speaker 4: your premium picks for guys on rookie deals, you got
- 7:52Speaker 4: to expect that they're gonna have to pay them. And
- 7:54Speaker 4: if you want to get somebody that you're gonna have
- 7:55Speaker 4: to pay top of the market value for on top
- 7:58Speaker 4: of happens to get parts done, get CD done, get
- 8:02Speaker 4: dak redone again, on top of already paying digs and
- 8:05Speaker 4: steal at the top of the market at their position.
- 8:08Speaker 4: I mean, you can't have the top three guy at
- 8:11Speaker 4: every position on your roster paid wise, That's just not
- 8:13Speaker 4: how it works. You got to have your draft picks.
- 8:15Speaker 4: So I understand, I understand that everybody wants to go
- 8:19Speaker 4: out and get that big fish wants Jerry to swing
- 8:21Speaker 4: for the fences, But I mean, yeah, it could work
- 8:23Speaker 4: for this year. But if you don't re sign him
- 8:26Speaker 4: and give him a new deal, you just parted with
- 8:28Speaker 4: multiple first round picks for one year, and then you
- 8:31Speaker 4: put yourself deeper in the hole than you already would have.
- 8:33Speaker 4: So that's kind of how I've always viewed that. And
- 8:35Speaker 4: then I wanted to go a little Cowboys trivia for you,
- 8:38Speaker 4: because I know you are the stats and player of
- 8:40Speaker 4: Fishionaudo of the Dallas Cowboys. There's been six guys in
- 8:45Speaker 4: the team's history offensively to have scored touchdowns of ninety
- 8:49Speaker 4: plus yards. It's Bob Hayes, Tony dor Said, DeMarco Murray,
- 8:55Speaker 4: Amari Cooper, Alvin Harper, and Alvin Harper. Remember who the
- 9:00Speaker 4: sixty guy is?
- 9:01Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I do. Yeah, ninety yards against the Giants
- 9:07Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. Jason Tucker, yep, exactly, Yeah, yeah, I remember.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I remember that game. And I also remember the week
- 9:17Speaker 1: before he had like two hundred and fifty yards of
- 9:21Speaker 1: all purpose. He was a punt kick returner, and against
- 9:24Speaker 1: the Saints he had like an unbelievable game. And then
- 9:28Speaker 1: he goes to the next weekend goes ninety yards. That's
- 9:32Speaker 1: a good sat. Alvin Harper, I remember Alvin Harper. As
- 9:35Speaker 1: soon as you said it, I was just thinking Jason Tucker,
- 9:37Speaker 1: so I didn't even hear all the other ones they yeah.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. That kind of goes with the question i'd
- 9:43Speaker 4: asked you earlier in the week about guys you thought
- 9:45Speaker 4: were going to be great, and I really thought Jason Tarker, yeah, something,
- 9:48Speaker 4: and then it just never happened. But yeah, yeah, but yeah, yeah,
- 9:52Speaker 4: thanks thanks for taking my past a good one.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Jason Tucker. You know, I still remember guys
- 10:00Speaker 1: in training camp. We're always harass him at camp, like
- 10:04Speaker 1: just just one fan just the entire practice or two
- 10:09Speaker 1: would just yell catch the Paul Tucker just kept yelling
- 10:12Speaker 1: it all over and over, but he caught it that
- 10:14Speaker 1: one ninety yards. Good question though, also about about just
- 10:18Speaker 1: kind of unrealistic, you know, to just trade all the
- 10:23Speaker 1: time because you need your picks.
- 10:25Speaker 6: You know.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Aaron, that's Aaron in Ohio. I don't know if he's
- 10:28Speaker 1: hanging out with Dylan in Northport, Florida, but the text
- 10:32Speaker 1: line question very similar. People need to understand our salary
- 10:36Speaker 1: cap numbers are about to get hit pretty hard between
- 10:38Speaker 1: Dak's contract paying CD paying Micah and other's trading picks
- 10:43Speaker 1: aka young cheap talent for a vet that you have
- 10:45Speaker 1: to pay big money makes no sense for the team.
- 10:49Speaker 1: That is somebody that understands the situation. And I'm sorry,
- 10:55Speaker 1: it's not fun to do that. And we had a
- 10:58Speaker 1: call just yesterday like the cap isn't real, it's very real.
- 11:02Speaker 1: It's very real, and that this is what happens. And
- 11:05Speaker 1: this is why you have to draft well. You have
- 11:07Speaker 1: to draft well because if you do, if you can
- 11:10Speaker 1: get a talent in the first, second, third round, guys
- 11:14Speaker 1: that can help your team for a while, that is cheap,
- 11:17Speaker 1: cheap talent that you need to splice in for the
- 11:20Speaker 1: other guys that are not. So when you trade cheap talent,
- 11:25Speaker 1: which is a second round pick or a third round pick,
- 11:27Speaker 1: when you trade it for a guy that you have
- 11:30Speaker 1: to pay big money to, that that goes against the
- 11:33Speaker 1: cap that your second round pick, your third round pick
- 11:37Speaker 1: now is making what ten million a year. That doesn't
- 11:39Speaker 1: work like that. It can't work often every now and again.
- 11:43Speaker 1: You know you can, you can figure out how to
- 11:46Speaker 1: do that, but it gets risky if you do it
- 11:49Speaker 1: a lot. So all right, Chris Beam just sent me
- 11:53Speaker 1: a message here in draft picks in twenty twenty four, first, second, third, seven, seven,
- 12:00Speaker 1: That's right, No, four, fifth or sixth. Man, you gotta
- 12:05Speaker 1: get some cop picks. Gotta hope that you get some
- 12:07Speaker 1: compensatory picks to to come in here. And you know,
- 12:11Speaker 1: we talk a lot about the trade deadline about players
- 12:14Speaker 1: coming in, we haven't really talked about scenarios of players
- 12:17Speaker 1: going out. What if the Cowboys are a team that's
- 12:20Speaker 1: looking for picks, you know, I mean, what if the
- 12:23Speaker 1: Cowboys have players on this roster that are that are
- 12:27Speaker 1: hard either having a hard time getting onto the field.
- 12:30Speaker 1: They were draft picks at some point, you know, high
- 12:32Speaker 1: draft picks as well. You know, we're just looking at
- 12:35Speaker 1: it as a one way street, like like people coming in.
- 12:38Speaker 1: But the more likely scenario is that Cowboys might make
- 12:42Speaker 1: a trade and add picks and and get rid of
- 12:46Speaker 1: players for some picks. So let's let's remember it's always
- 12:51Speaker 1: a two way street, all right, Tim and Grapevine, You're next, Nick,
- 12:56Speaker 1: what's up a couple weeks?
- 12:58Speaker 6: Man?
- 12:58Speaker 11: Well?
- 12:59Speaker 10: Hey, you know, I was analyzing the Cowboys offense and
- 13:02Speaker 10: I'm looking at the yard per carry by the running backs.
- 13:05Speaker 10: It's not good. Howard is too good to be averaging
- 13:10Speaker 10: less than four yards for carry. I mean, he's too young,
- 13:13Speaker 10: too explosive. The scheme's a little vanilla. I'm not trying
- 13:16Speaker 10: to dog on McCarthy, but they have to come up
- 13:20Speaker 10: with something to get that going. If not, let's say,
- 13:23Speaker 10: the running game struggles. You know, this week, what I
- 13:27Speaker 10: was wondering is how willing would McCarthy be to running
- 13:35Speaker 10: more empty formation plays? And I actually went back and
- 13:39Speaker 10: I did a deep dive on the Patriots. So when
- 13:41Speaker 10: the Patriots had Tom Brady, they ran out of empty
- 13:46Speaker 10: more than twice the league average, which is incredible, like
- 13:49Speaker 10: thirty five times a game they were out of empty.
- 13:54Speaker 10: Specifically twenty fifteen two thousand nine comes of mine, but
- 13:57Speaker 10: twenty fifteen Brady will is over seventy percent out of
- 14:02Speaker 10: empty formation completion percentage. And they used Deon Lewis so
- 14:07Speaker 10: much out of the backfield, and they did motion them in.
- 14:10Speaker 10: I mean they had Edelman, Amadola, Deon Lewis, Goronkowski. It's
- 14:14Speaker 10: high yeah, yeah, yeah, when you have a Hall of
- 14:17Speaker 10: Fame tight end.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big difference. I mean, like the way
- 14:21Speaker 1: the Patriots would like to play inside out, and they
- 14:24Speaker 1: could do it because they had sometimes they had two
- 14:27Speaker 1: great tight ends, but they always had a Hall of
- 14:29Speaker 1: Fame tight end, and then they had the whether it
- 14:32Speaker 1: was a Wes Welker or an Edelman or you know,
- 14:34Speaker 1: a Mondola, they had those guys that they would play
- 14:36Speaker 1: in to out. So it's hard to compare. I get
- 14:39Speaker 1: what you're saying, and maybe this is the personnel that
- 14:42Speaker 1: fits better here. But I think, you know, for the
- 14:46Speaker 1: RPOs and the and the fact that you know, Dak
- 14:49Speaker 1: needs to be able to have some play action. It's
- 14:52Speaker 1: hard to do that with empty set. I mean, it's
- 14:54Speaker 1: possible to do it a play action with empty set.
- 14:56Speaker 1: So I don't see them going to that extreme. But
- 15:02Speaker 1: but I hear what you're saying is play to the
- 15:03Speaker 1: strength of what you what you've got here, all right, Tim,
- 15:11Speaker 1: You know, I love calls like that because a lot
- 15:15Speaker 1: of times, and I say this before, I don't mean
- 15:17Speaker 1: to repeat myself, but I like the fact that you know,
- 15:19Speaker 1: when people call about to talk about the you know,
- 15:22Speaker 1: the problems they see on this team, what what you know,
- 15:24Speaker 1: this needs to be better, we need to do this,
- 15:27Speaker 1: and and not always having a solution. You know what. Fine, Yeah,
- 15:32Speaker 1: everybody can see that's an issue. What do you want
- 15:34Speaker 1: to do about it? So I like that people call
- 15:37Speaker 1: and have ideas. You know, what if we did this,
- 15:39Speaker 1: what if we try this? I mean that that's you know,
- 15:41Speaker 1: we're we're in a problem solving business, you know, and
- 15:44Speaker 1: so it's it's fun to be able to hear, you know,
- 15:47Speaker 1: different scenarios like that, you know, and maybe there is
- 15:50Speaker 1: something to be said for that of the Cowboys, maybe
- 15:52Speaker 1: leaning on the passing game a little bit more. All right,
- 15:56Speaker 1: let's go h Rob in Vegas?
- 15:59Speaker 3: Rob?
- 15:59Speaker 1: Is that? What's that mean?
- 16:01Speaker 6: Hey? Nick?
- 16:02Speaker 1: How are you?
- 16:04Speaker 8: I'm good? So I think after watching last night, the
- 16:08Speaker 8: best move the Cowboys can make is go get Mike Evans.
- 16:12Speaker 8: I mean, he fits their needs. He's a big body receiver.
- 16:17Speaker 8: Last year of his deal. I think he's got a
- 16:21Speaker 8: little less than seven million dollars left. And I think
- 16:26Speaker 8: it's the biggest impact you make for Cowboys. Our defense
- 16:29Speaker 8: is solid enough. Let's say said our issues are on
- 16:33Speaker 8: offense and ceedee, lamb needs somebody on the other side
- 16:38Speaker 8: and galloping cutting it. And I'm you know, like you say,
- 16:44Speaker 8: his money's already accounted for. So you go get Mike Evans.
- 16:49Speaker 8: And I just think it makes the biggest impact, kind
- 16:51Speaker 8: of like when they brought Amari Cooper in and let's
- 16:54Speaker 8: face it, that's a good quarterback, but that needs help.
- 16:58Speaker 8: He's not, you know, a top echelon quarterback who makes
- 17:01Speaker 8: wide receivers better. He needs help. And if you're thinking
- 17:04Speaker 8: about resigning this guy to another three four years at
- 17:09Speaker 8: you know, fifty mil, then bringing bringing as many guys
- 17:13Speaker 8: as you can, and this guy brings in immediate impact.
- 17:16Speaker 8: I watched him last night. The guy could still run.
- 17:19Speaker 8: You know, he just checks all the boxes. I don't
- 17:22Speaker 8: think it's going to cost a lot to get him
- 17:24Speaker 8: because he is on his last year. Yeah, So I
- 17:27Speaker 8: just think I don't think we need Derrick Henry. First
- 17:30Speaker 8: of all, I don't think Derrick Henry is the old
- 17:32Speaker 8: Derrick Henry. And I don't think our issue is Tony Powell.
- 17:35Speaker 8: And I think the problem is when you play the
- 17:38Speaker 8: offense they've been playing, where you throw short passes, the
- 17:41Speaker 8: defense is tight. Now if they maybe pass more and
- 17:47Speaker 8: open it up a little more, I think the holes
- 17:49Speaker 8: will open up more for Tony. But I think the
- 17:53Speaker 8: Mike Evans, I think that just out of everybody out there,
- 17:57Speaker 8: I think that just makes the most of not Davante
- 17:59Speaker 8: at Yeah, we would all love DeVonta Adams that that
- 18:03Speaker 8: price is ridiculous. Uh, you've got ceedee Lamb, we have
- 18:07Speaker 8: to sign him. I think Mike Evans is that guy
- 18:10Speaker 8: right now, even if he wants a new deal mets here.
- 18:13Speaker 6: Of course, he's not.
- 18:14Speaker 8: Going to be looking for thirty million, twenty five million.
- 18:18Speaker 8: He's got to be realistic. And I just think I
- 18:21Speaker 8: think he's from Texas something.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know I went to I know
- 18:24Speaker 1: he went to A and M. I don't know where
- 18:25Speaker 1: he's from. But all right, Rob, thanks thanks for the call.
- 18:29Speaker 1: You know again, and I talked about it yesterday. You know,
- 18:33Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and talk about you know,
- 18:34Speaker 1: other players and and and from other teams and try
- 18:38Speaker 1: to speculate on what that would be. I can talk
- 18:40Speaker 1: about positions though, and and fit and needs and you know, man,
- 18:45Speaker 1: it just seems wide receiver to me. I just have
- 18:49Speaker 1: a hard time put. I just have a hard time
- 18:54Speaker 1: grasping that idea of getting a wide receiver in here
- 18:59Speaker 1: is that it's not enough, like like like CD Brandon Cooks,
- 19:05Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, Jalen Tolbert, Like if it's I just don't
- 19:11Speaker 1: see another receiver coming in here and fixing the problem.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I just think it creates other issues that you have.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I mean, these guys have to get it done. Michael
- 19:20Speaker 1: Gallup is a number three receiver. I mean is Cooks.
- 19:24Speaker 1: The problem is that not a good number two. I
- 19:28Speaker 1: don't know. I just I just feel like adding a
- 19:30Speaker 1: receiver and trading to go get another guy when you
- 19:33Speaker 1: have CD seven targets, seven catches, Okay, make it twelve,
- 19:39Speaker 1: make it twelve targets. Figure, I mean, just keep giving
- 19:42Speaker 1: him the football and and going going that route with it.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I just I don't know, man, I have a hard
- 19:49Speaker 1: time with that when I get and I get that
- 19:52Speaker 1: that we're looking at other teams in the league and
- 19:54Speaker 1: seeing DeVante Smith as the number two with A J.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Brown and and the forty nine ers have you know
- 20:02Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of talent there at receiver,
- 20:06Speaker 1: and the Dolphins as well, you know, I mean you've
- 20:08Speaker 1: got first round picks that are you know, an elite
- 20:12Speaker 1: players more than one. I get that. I just I
- 20:16Speaker 1: think if you're going to make a move, I just
- 20:17Speaker 1: wouldn't it wouldn't be at receiver. I think you could
- 20:20Speaker 1: help the receivers by helping other areas. I just have
- 20:24Speaker 1: a hard time throwing that one in there. All right,
- 20:28Speaker 1: Brian in Kansas City, you're next. Good morning, Neig, Good
- 20:32Speaker 1: morning Brian. How are you?
- 20:33Speaker 9: I do it pretty good? Brother. Hey, So, you know,
- 20:36Speaker 9: I was thinking, you know, a lot of times we
- 20:38Speaker 9: asked you to tell stories. I was wondering, if I
- 20:41Speaker 9: keep it short, if I can tell a quick story
- 20:43Speaker 9: about the cowboys and me, I got to meet the
- 20:47Speaker 9: greatest cowboy one one.
- 20:50Speaker 8: Oh.
- 20:50Speaker 9: I think it was January. We were going to visit
- 20:53Speaker 9: my grandparents for Christmas, and we're on our way home.
- 20:55Speaker 9: We're sitting in the Tampa International Airport. My dad looks
- 20:59Speaker 9: over and he said, as Tom Landry and his wife
- 21:02Speaker 9: were sitting at that table right there, and uh, I'm
- 21:07Speaker 9: ten or eleven years old. And he sent me over
- 21:08Speaker 9: with a newspaper and got Tom Landry's autograph.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Nice, I bet, I bet he was.
- 21:14Speaker 6: I'll never forget.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Yeah. Now that's uh. I don't think I've ever met him.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I don't think I ever as a kid, I never
- 21:21Speaker 1: got to meet him. So, uh, but yeah, that was
- 21:24Speaker 1: that's you know, I means, it's like I mean, it's
- 21:27Speaker 1: like meeting God. I would imagine, you know, when you're a.
- 21:29Speaker 6: Cowboy fan, I mean years old he was.
- 21:32Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say this for me, I was probably
- 21:36Speaker 1: what's five or six years old when the TV show
- 21:40Speaker 1: Dallas came out, you know, or it was out like
- 21:43Speaker 1: in the early eighties or whatever, and like I my
- 21:47Speaker 1: my mom watched that show, and of course I never did,
- 21:50Speaker 1: but I loved the intro just because it showed Texas
- 21:53Speaker 1: Stadium for like a half second. It just showed Texas Stadium.
- 21:56Speaker 1: I thought that was the coolest thing.
- 21:58Speaker 6: Now.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Then, you know, after that, I didn't care. I don't
- 22:01Speaker 1: care who shot j R. I don't care about that,
- 22:02Speaker 1: but I just wanted to watch that because of that,
- 22:05Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's just weird how how
- 22:07Speaker 1: the Cowboys can just be so big and so when
- 22:09Speaker 1: you see a guy like Tom Landry you remember it forever.
- 22:12Speaker 1: So uh is that it is?
- 22:15Speaker 4: That?
- 22:15Speaker 1: It from Brian? He just called for that. Nope, not
- 22:18Speaker 1: here anymore?
- 22:18Speaker 2: All right?
- 22:19Speaker 1: Uh? Well, Brian, appreciate the call. And you're always you're
- 22:24Speaker 1: always one of the top callers, always got good stuff.
- 22:26Speaker 1: So appreciate that. Let's go to Let's go to France.
- 22:31Speaker 1: How about that?
- 22:32Speaker 12: For once?
- 22:35Speaker 1: My go for it, man, what's up?
- 22:39Speaker 7: Good?
- 22:40Speaker 12: Uh? I just wanted to shay on much of everybody
- 22:44Speaker 12: say big girls made a big mood, a big move
- 22:50Speaker 12: by trading for the safety. I feel those trades this
- 22:53Speaker 12: time of your is more name choosing stuff than anything.
- 23:01Speaker 12: That's why I don't understand the critics, the criticism of
- 23:05Speaker 12: some fans like we don't make moves blah blah blah
- 23:09Speaker 12: blah blah blah. We don't have to make a move
- 23:12Speaker 12: at the trade deadline for the sake of making a
- 23:15Speaker 12: big splash. I mean, uh, I feel we need a
- 23:21Speaker 12: big back yea, but take a look at the roster.
- 23:24Speaker 12: To me, Tip is more a FeNiS back than a bruiser.
- 23:28Speaker 12: Don't get me wrong. He can do it, but it's
- 23:32Speaker 12: taking its toill late in games. Behind t P we
- 23:37Speaker 12: have Rico Barbo who is running behind his paths to
- 23:42Speaker 12: see more of him. And U for the fans who
- 23:46Speaker 12: didn't watch summer uh and the issue football, we have
- 23:51Speaker 12: a bigger back than the tube other and tolip Key
- 23:56Speaker 12: is line backer's five. He's six to one, two hundred thirty.
- 24:01Speaker 12: He came around, he runs up with this deceptive speed.
- 24:08Speaker 12: Is his oup tackle. He can catch up out of
- 24:12Speaker 12: the bakefield. I feel he's a perfect fit to be
- 24:17Speaker 12: the primary back in short, charbage and con lighting situations,
- 24:22Speaker 12: but because of his versatility and his own power can
- 24:28Speaker 12: make him successful in those situations even if the blocks
- 24:32Speaker 12: are not perfect. Thanks for thanks for taking my call.
- 24:39Speaker 12: Last thing, Cattle Cowboys will be five and two by
- 24:42Speaker 12: Sunday mid that sun all right, and as a mate said,
- 24:48Speaker 12: but just by one point, have a great deal. Thanks
- 24:53Speaker 12: for taking my call. Have a great weekend. They can
- 24:56Speaker 12: take good.
- 24:57Speaker 6: Cowboys, all right, thank you.
- 24:58Speaker 1: That's the lead and free ants. Good call. I'm sorry
- 25:03Speaker 1: I couldn't get over the just blah blah blah blah
- 25:05Speaker 1: blah blah. That's awesome. Uh yeah, I mean Hunter Lipkey.
- 25:13Speaker 1: I'm not ready to just like give him the ball
- 25:16Speaker 1: and just say, you know, go be Mike Alstot. I mean,
- 25:18Speaker 1: I don't bet if if he does turn into that,
- 25:22Speaker 1: then I hope I hope somebody in the media. I
- 25:25Speaker 1: hope somebody does does the highlight, can do the Chris
- 25:27Speaker 1: Berman just every time that Lipkey gets the ball, just.
- 25:32Speaker 7: Like that.
- 25:33Speaker 1: That's what I want. I want him to be that
- 25:34Speaker 1: type of back. He's not really there, just yet. But
- 25:39Speaker 1: you know, give give Hunter Lipke an off season, you know,
- 25:43Speaker 1: off season program here with the Cowboys. Come back the
- 25:46Speaker 1: second year, let's see what he looks like. The thing
- 25:50Speaker 1: with him, though, the team needs to figure out what
- 25:53Speaker 1: are they going to do with him? You want him
- 25:54Speaker 1: to be a fullback, You want him to be a runner.
- 25:57Speaker 1: You know, are are you going to beef him up?
- 26:00Speaker 1: You can make him an h back? You know, does
- 26:02Speaker 1: he need to run routes? So I mean, what does
- 26:04Speaker 1: he need to do? That's one thing I think teams
- 26:06Speaker 1: need to figure out what their players is, what role
- 26:09Speaker 1: do you want for them? Position flex is great, but
- 26:13Speaker 1: it also can hurt a player if you're trying to
- 26:17Speaker 1: change his position to the point where he doesn't know
- 26:20Speaker 1: exactly how to make his body. You know, Kyle Wilbur,
- 26:24Speaker 1: that's a perfect example. And Tyrone Crawford too. These guys
- 26:28Speaker 1: played you know, different positions. You know, was Wilbur or linebacker?
- 26:32Speaker 1: Was he an end? And the problem is in the
- 26:34Speaker 1: offseason he's like, I'm gonna bulk up and gain thirty
- 26:38Speaker 1: pounds and then cool, and then then we had two
- 26:40Speaker 1: injuries at linebacker. Now now you're at linebacker, Well, why
- 26:43Speaker 1: is the guy slow. Well he's slow because he's trying
- 26:44Speaker 1: to play defensive end. Same with Crawford. Crawford played defensive
- 26:48Speaker 1: tackle and then they moved him to end, and now
- 26:50Speaker 1: he's like, well he doesn't get any sacks. Well, no,
- 26:52Speaker 1: because he's a defensive tackle. So then he loses all
- 26:54Speaker 1: this weight and he plays defensive end. And guess what,
- 26:56Speaker 1: we need you to play tackle. Now you're getting pushed
- 26:59Speaker 1: off the ball. So I mean, it's it's rare to
- 27:02Speaker 1: just be able to just go here and here, back
- 27:04Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth at the same you know
- 27:06Speaker 1: body way all that. I say that about lip Key,
- 27:08Speaker 1: I think he's going to be good as they move
- 27:10Speaker 1: on here, moving forward. All right, let's go, let's go
- 27:15Speaker 1: one more call before we go to break. Here, Ali
- 27:17Speaker 1: and Azuma Bahamas. Ali, you traveling?
- 27:21Speaker 13: How are you?
- 27:22Speaker 1: I'm good?
- 27:22Speaker 5: How are you?
- 27:23Speaker 7: Pretty good?
- 27:23Speaker 6: Buddy?
- 27:24Speaker 13: I appreciate you and Chris what you're doing thirty years
- 27:27Speaker 13: waiting for championship. You are our peace and quiet and joy.
- 27:32Speaker 13: We can edit it all. That's least a little bit.
- 27:35Speaker 13: A couple of things.
- 27:36Speaker 11: I love the book and thank you.
- 27:38Speaker 13: I think my observation, I'm not a coach, but being
- 27:45Speaker 13: a big fan of Chaboys for since seventy six. I
- 27:49Speaker 13: think we have too many changes this year. We had
- 27:52Speaker 13: a new offensive coordinator, Mike McCarthy is getting his feet wet.
- 27:56Speaker 13: We got the offensive line coach, and I think he
- 27:59Speaker 13: sicks time the team yelling. But I do agree with you.
- 28:03Speaker 13: We don't need the receiver. I think because you had
- 28:07Speaker 13: a caller last week. Because we lose Z and then
- 28:12Speaker 13: the parlor is not doesn't have this body, so I
- 28:17Speaker 13: think if it gets pick up somebody cheap. I couldn't
- 28:20Speaker 13: believe we don't have a fourth and fifth and sixth.
- 28:22Speaker 13: That's terrible. And I know Jerry's not gonna.
- 28:25Speaker 6: Lie on the fourth.
- 28:27Speaker 13: They don't have any ticks.
- 28:28Speaker 1: They'll get some compensatory picks for Yeah.
- 28:32Speaker 13: So I've got a trivia for you. I know you
- 28:35Speaker 13: are god of information. I don't mean to disrespect, but
- 28:40Speaker 13: not be smart, but I thought if you could answer this.
- 28:44Speaker 13: Taboys drafted bow ball offensive player, and how Davis loved it,
- 28:54Speaker 13: and they traded in ten minutes later and they picked
- 28:58Speaker 13: up another offensive player. I believe on the third round
- 29:02Speaker 13: you know who that is.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Cowboys drafted a player and traded him to the Raiders.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Ten minutes later, Right, is it Steve wiz Nooski, Yes, awesome,
- 29:18Speaker 1: perfect eighty nine. Yeah, and I believe they got Stepnowsky
- 29:22Speaker 1: right exactly. Yeah. That's why I was getting ds in
- 29:27Speaker 1: in high school and CZ because I didn't care about school.
- 29:30Speaker 1: I've been like I was thirteen years old. I cared
- 29:32Speaker 1: about the draft, cared about the Cowboys. That's what I
- 29:34Speaker 1: cared about. I didn't care about school. But yeah, thank you,
- 29:38Speaker 1: thank you for Yeah, Steve was Noosky drafted but never
- 29:42Speaker 1: never played for the Cowboys, but was certainly it was
- 29:46Speaker 1: a great player. But Cowboys ended up with with U Stepnowsky,
- 29:49Speaker 1: so that worked out too, all right.
- 29:52Speaker 13: I heard he didn't even know he was celebrated. His
- 29:55Speaker 13: mother had to call him on the way to doll
- 29:57Speaker 13: and tell him he's just been traded.
- 29:59Speaker 1: And he could awesome. Alright, Ali, thank you appreciate it.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Ali and Bahaman from France
- 30:07Speaker 1: to the Bahamas. How about that to break? That's what
- 30:09Speaker 1: we're gonna go. We're gonna go take a break here

- 32:17Speaker 1: To Cowboys story.
- 32:18Speaker 12: On Its.
- 32:22Speaker 1: All right back here in the second half of Cowboys storyline,
- 32:24Speaker 1: I say second half. It's kind of like midway through
- 32:27Speaker 1: the third quarter, kind of went it went long there,
- 32:29Speaker 1: But it's okay. We got a few more minutes ago,
- 32:31Speaker 1: got some callers on the line. We'll get some text
- 32:33Speaker 1: messages as well. We'll make a pick Cowboys and Rams
- 32:38Speaker 1: coming up here on Sunday. All right, let's go back
- 32:41Speaker 1: to the line. Ronnie in New Jersey, Ronnie, you're up. Hey,
- 32:45Speaker 1: good morning, Nick, good morning, how are you?
- 32:47Speaker 11: That's too bad?
- 32:48Speaker 6: Thank you?
- 32:49Speaker 1: All right?
- 32:50Speaker 11: Oh yeah, let's go Friday.
- 32:52Speaker 7: Cirk up.
- 32:55Speaker 11: Nick, So, with a trade deadline coming up, right? Uh huh,
- 32:59Speaker 11: where do you see the biggest weakness on the team?
- 33:03Speaker 11: Just like, uh, like, what were you trade for?
- 33:08Speaker 1: Don't don't don't ask me that, because then I then
- 33:12Speaker 1: what happens Then I say that, and then I'm strolling
- 33:15Speaker 1: around the locker room a couple of days like, oh
- 33:18Speaker 1: really this is the biggest weakness.
- 33:20Speaker 7: Huh?
- 33:21Speaker 1: Now I would say. I mean, the thing is is
- 33:30Speaker 1: you can get guys for like right now, but also
- 33:33Speaker 1: like if I'm making a trade, I'm trying to get
- 33:35Speaker 1: somebody like down the road. So when I look at
- 33:38Speaker 1: I still look at running back because Tony Pollard's on
- 33:41Speaker 1: the last year of his deal, so you don't have
- 33:43Speaker 1: really any free any running backs under contract. And then
- 33:47Speaker 1: and then at corner like because Gilmore, you know, he's
- 33:51Speaker 1: he's older as well, and you could you could, You're
- 33:54Speaker 1: gonna need to address that position. I could see corner
- 33:57Speaker 1: and running back as the two positions where I would, okay,
- 34:00Speaker 1: making a move because I think it's gonna help me now,
- 34:02Speaker 1: it's gonna help me next year as well. What about you?
- 34:05Speaker 11: Okay, so what will you be willing to give up
- 34:07Speaker 11: for a cornerback, A star cornerback, let's say star cornerback. Yes,
- 34:14Speaker 11: all the shut down corner. That's two Diggs for this
- 34:16Speaker 11: year and for net year, for a few years ago,
- 34:19Speaker 11: because he's got the contract for.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Like, to I give him one, I'd give it one
- 34:22Speaker 1: for that for I'm not I'm not naming names. If
- 34:27Speaker 1: you're naming names, go ahead. I can't name names if
- 34:29Speaker 1: it's a star cornerback that that demands a lot of money,
- 34:33Speaker 1: that can shut down. I'll take a I'll take a
- 34:36Speaker 1: I'll give a one.
- 34:38Speaker 11: I actually called one of the shows the other day,
- 34:40Speaker 11: I think it was Hanging with the Boys, and I
- 34:42Speaker 11: mentioned the cornerback from the Broncos. Now I would give
- 34:47Speaker 11: up a one for him this year and a tool
- 34:51Speaker 11: next year, or whatever it is, whatever it takes, because
- 34:54Speaker 11: I believe if you have another guy like him. We
- 34:58Speaker 11: lost Trayvon Diggs and that's where the defense kind to,
- 35:00Speaker 11: you know, change.
- 35:01Speaker 6: The little bit.
- 35:02Speaker 11: But this guy, this guy can hit. This guy can
- 35:05Speaker 11: do everything, and it's a hitter because rock I see
- 35:08Speaker 11: him play.
- 35:08Speaker 6: This guy could tackle.
- 35:10Speaker 11: So if you have him, I think that will also
- 35:12Speaker 11: fits the run defense because now you can have more
- 35:15Speaker 11: eyes on the run defense. Now you can bring down
- 35:17Speaker 11: that safety. Now you could play how our defensive coach
- 35:22Speaker 11: wants to play. Dan Quinn, I will trade for him,
- 35:25Speaker 11: and if if you can't get him, I will go
- 35:28Speaker 11: I know, we just drafted u Massy Smith right the
- 35:32Speaker 11: nose tackle man. I will go out and try to
- 35:34Speaker 11: trade for the best one out there and give a
- 35:36Speaker 11: second round pick for a call Tampa Bay and be like, hey,
- 35:39Speaker 11: beat a beya, what do you think?
- 35:41Speaker 1: All right?
- 35:42Speaker 11: I have him with Hankins in the middle, and that
- 35:44Speaker 11: will shut down the run and help out your past coverage.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Sounds good now, And like I said, you, you can
- 35:52Speaker 1: say that I'm not gonna mentioned names, but but I'll
- 35:55Speaker 1: say this though, thanks for the call running. The only
- 36:00Speaker 1: position that I would probably trade a first round pick
- 36:02Speaker 1: for would I think would be cornerback. Corner back. Let's
- 36:06Speaker 1: make sure and say that correctly. Cornerback would be the
- 36:10Speaker 1: one that I would probably look to do that. Here,
- 36:13Speaker 1: got tours walking in here. A lot of good looking
- 36:16Speaker 1: kids over here walking through here. All right, let's go
- 36:20Speaker 1: to the line.
- 36:21Speaker 4: Here.
- 36:21Speaker 1: We've got Joe and Stanford.
- 36:23Speaker 13: Joe, Okay, Nick's been been a little bit there.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Worry me a little bitter. Make sure you're okay, man,
- 36:30Speaker 1: usual the first caller there, I think it's been first
- 36:32Speaker 1: call of the week. Had to check on you.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I have a few things going on, all right, man,
- 36:38Speaker 3: life happens?
- 36:41Speaker 1: What's up?
- 36:41Speaker 4: Man?
- 36:42Speaker 3: Well, I've been listening to you all week, of course.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Still you know a lot of people are talking about
- 36:48Speaker 3: the trade deadliners who we want to pick up and
- 36:49Speaker 3: all that. Good stuff, frankly, and I'm just going to
- 36:53Speaker 3: have to disagree with you slightly too and a bunch
- 36:55Speaker 3: of people. I don't care what running back we pick up.
- 36:58Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. The offensive line starts playing like it should,
- 37:02Speaker 3: which I think it's going to, it doesn't matter. I
- 37:05Speaker 3: think we have plenty of running back talent. I think
- 37:08Speaker 3: maybe Dadle does need more touches to bounce that out
- 37:12Speaker 3: with Pollard. But until our lines starts playing better, I
- 37:16Speaker 3: don't care if we get Dereck Henry. I don't care
- 37:19Speaker 3: who we get. It doesn't matter. You have to block
- 37:21Speaker 3: people in order to have a good running game. I
- 37:24Speaker 3: think that we're gonna have a better blocking schemes. I
- 37:29Speaker 3: think there's such a combination of things, the fact that
- 37:31Speaker 3: we got a new offensive line coach, that the system
- 37:34Speaker 3: is slightly different, that we've had players injured. There's so
- 37:37Speaker 3: many things that have kept us from geling and coming together.
- 37:41Speaker 3: And I do think the caliber of the guys and
- 37:44Speaker 3: the fact that I know they're gonna work to get
- 37:47Speaker 3: better and to figure it out, it's gonna help us
- 37:50Speaker 3: through this time of not being able to block. I
- 37:54Speaker 3: think it's gonna get better. I think cornerback you were
- 38:00Speaker 3: gonna pick somebody up. Frankly to me, I don't think
- 38:04Speaker 3: I like Gilmore. I think he's a smart dude. I
- 38:08Speaker 3: think against specific types of receivers he's still upper echelon,
- 38:12Speaker 3: but against speed, I don't. I don't like you. I
- 38:16Speaker 3: think he's I've watched him run three yards behind too
- 38:20Speaker 3: many receivers this year. Anyway, That's all I got for
- 38:23Speaker 3: you today.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Brother, Well, all right, thanks for the call, Joe. And
- 38:26Speaker 1: you know, I kind of I disagree a little bit
- 38:28Speaker 1: with you back on there on the running back, because
- 38:31Speaker 1: I understand about the offensive line. I mean, it does
- 38:33Speaker 1: start there, but there's times where a power back, a
- 38:37Speaker 1: little bit back with a little bit more size to him,
- 38:40Speaker 1: can push the pile go forward, you know, make it
- 38:46Speaker 1: instead of it being you know, it was second and
- 38:49Speaker 1: five and you got one yard. Now it's third and four.
- 38:52Speaker 1: But if you had a little bit more strength to you,
- 38:55Speaker 1: now it's third and two. That changes the play a
- 38:57Speaker 1: little bit.
- 38:57Speaker 15: I do.
- 38:57Speaker 1: I do think strength and a power back and help
- 39:01Speaker 1: even when the line is what it is. We saw
- 39:04Speaker 1: it with Zeke, you know, I mean, Zeke was able
- 39:07Speaker 1: to to just will himself to get yards. And I'm
- 39:09Speaker 1: not trying to say find another Zeke, but but but
- 39:13Speaker 1: you do need to have a little bit more power there.
- 39:15Speaker 1: That that's where I think the team can can use
- 39:16Speaker 1: a little bit more there. So all right, uh and
- 39:21Speaker 1: and as for corner, I mean, yeah, I mean Gilmore,
- 39:26Speaker 1: he's the number one corner on this team right now.
- 39:28Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's what he's playing. That role, that's
- 39:30Speaker 1: not the role that they brought him in for. That's
- 39:33Speaker 1: if he still had that ability to be the defensive
- 39:36Speaker 1: player of the Year that he was with the Patriots,
- 39:38Speaker 1: you're not getting them for a fifth round pick the Colts.
- 39:40Speaker 1: The Colts need players too, you know that. They wouldn't
- 39:42Speaker 1: just do that. They they traded him away. He was
- 39:45Speaker 1: going to compliment. He was gonna be on the other
- 39:46Speaker 1: side of digs and it was gonna work out. And
- 39:49Speaker 1: and now the roles are different a little bit. So yeah,
- 39:51Speaker 1: what you're seeing out of Gilmore is not what the
- 39:53Speaker 1: Cowboys had in mind there.
- 39:55Speaker 8: All right.
- 39:56Speaker 1: From Stanford, we go right up the road up there
- 40:00Speaker 1: into Merkele, Texas. Al Merkele, Texas.
- 40:02Speaker 7: What's up, Hey, Nick, how are you doing.
- 40:05Speaker 4: I'm good?
- 40:05Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 40:07Speaker 7: Hey, I'm doing great?
- 40:08Speaker 15: Man?
- 40:08Speaker 7: It's so we finally got some rain here in this
- 40:11Speaker 7: area and I'm on the clock talking to you, So,
- 40:14Speaker 7: I mean, it couldn't be much better.
- 40:16Speaker 1: All right, hope your boss doesn't listen. Oh they're cool,
- 40:19Speaker 1: sick cool, Tell them the call. Then tell them the
- 40:22Speaker 1: call storyline.
- 40:23Speaker 3: Now we'll do that.
- 40:24Speaker 4: What do you got?
- 40:25Speaker 13: What do you got?
- 40:25Speaker 4: Al?
- 40:26Speaker 6: I've got three points for you.
- 40:27Speaker 7: First of all, yeah, you might have been a thirteen
- 40:30Speaker 7: year old getting season DEDs, but look at look where
- 40:32Speaker 7: you're at now. You're doing what you're you're.
- 40:34Speaker 4: Faking and you made it.
- 40:36Speaker 1: As my mom said in nineteen eighty five, she said, son,
- 40:40Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys is not a job. You can't just
- 40:42Speaker 1: love the Dallas Cowboys. That is not a job. You
- 40:44Speaker 1: have to get a real job, right.
- 40:46Speaker 7: Right, And then I Mom, I think I think your
- 40:50Speaker 7: mom needs to call you more.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Also, but I think they're undefeated, the Cowboys undefeated when
- 40:54Speaker 1: she does so.
- 40:55Speaker 7: Right, I think the caller before me, uh said this,
- 40:59Speaker 7: But I'd be afraid of bringing in a big running
- 41:02Speaker 7: back and not fixing the offensive line and basically turning
- 41:06Speaker 7: in into a modern day Earl Campbell's you know, I mean,
- 41:10Speaker 7: it would have worked for a while, But I think
- 41:11Speaker 7: you would need somebody young, because say you brought someone
- 41:15Speaker 7: in like Henry, he's.
- 41:16Speaker 6: On the you know, not on the back, I mean
- 41:18Speaker 6: on the he's on his way down.
- 41:20Speaker 7: And I think too much of a battering RAM would
- 41:23Speaker 7: cause to.
- 41:23Speaker 1: Any injuries, you know, you know, want Earl Campbell. I'm sorry,
- 41:28Speaker 1: but I.
- 41:29Speaker 7: Want young Earl Campbell.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'm just saying. I'm not calling anybody Earld Campbell.
- 41:34Speaker 1: But if Earl Campbell back, that was that at the.
- 41:37Speaker 7: End of his career, Yeah, get out of University of Texas,
- 41:40Speaker 7: Eld Campbell. Oh yeah, I think that every day that Earl.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Campbell, that that that played against the Rams. I don't
- 41:46Speaker 1: know that one highlight where yeah, that's actually a.
- 41:49Speaker 7: Penalty, you know, all right, he case, somebody's just in.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we got one more calling to do,
- 41:55Speaker 1: so hurry up. But he got two more points, just
- 41:59Speaker 1: one more one more point.
- 42:01Speaker 7: Cowboys win. And I think we're just suffering growing pains
- 42:05Speaker 7: because like that caller from France.
- 42:07Speaker 6: That we've changed so much at one time. So I
- 42:09Speaker 6: think growing.
- 42:10Speaker 7: Pains will hopefully alleviate in about two or three more weeks.
- 42:14Speaker 1: All right, I mean and that's sometimes and that's what
- 42:17Speaker 1: the bye we can help with the growing pains. Usually
- 42:20Speaker 1: a bye we should be able to kind of get
- 42:22Speaker 1: through some of that self scout, figure out what you
- 42:24Speaker 1: had wrong, and and you know, use that time to
- 42:27Speaker 1: your advantage. So all right, good call, Al, appreciate that.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Good to hear from you. Let's go to Eric in Pennsylvania.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Probablynna be our last call the day.
- 42:35Speaker 7: Eric.
- 42:35Speaker 1: What's up?
- 42:36Speaker 6: Man?
- 42:36Speaker 7: Hey?
- 42:37Speaker 6: Hey Nick? How you doing our first time calling master
- 42:39Speaker 6: up the show?
- 42:40Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that. Glad to have you on here.
- 42:43Speaker 6: Yeah. My thing is everybody's talking about this Derek Hyry trade. Yes,
- 42:48Speaker 6: are wise dollar cowboys. Don't look into Lennon Fournette. He's available.
- 42:53Speaker 1: I like to talk about him. We talked about Leonard Fournette.
- 42:56Speaker 6: Yeah, figure him in. I think he'd be a perfect
- 42:58Speaker 6: fit for his team. I mean, he's a free trade,
- 43:01Speaker 6: no taple for him. So I don't know why Dallas
- 43:03Speaker 6: will be looking at your bringing a guy like that in.
- 43:06Speaker 1: Well, here's here's my question about anybody that's not playing.
- 43:09Speaker 1: What have you done the last two weeks?
- 43:11Speaker 6: Because well, look at this last year around his time,
- 43:15Speaker 6: the forty nine is traded for McCaffrey. The Philadelphia Eagles
- 43:19Speaker 6: brought in Dominicus Sue and another defensive end. They were
- 43:22Speaker 6: sitting on the bench. They weren't doing nothing. I'm sure
- 43:25Speaker 6: Lendon Fournette is ready right now, halfway through the season.
- 43:28Speaker 6: He has fresh legs. I think he'd be a perfect
- 43:30Speaker 6: split for his team to take us where we got
- 43:32Speaker 6: to go.
- 43:33Speaker 1: I'm fine with that if he's been working out and
- 43:36Speaker 1: doing getting ready for the phone to ring and doing
- 43:38Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Not not a situation where
- 43:41Speaker 1: you bring a guy in and now he needs the
- 43:43Speaker 1: ramp up two to three weeks all that, nah, I
- 43:46Speaker 1: mean that that. I don't McCaffrey. I thought was playing.
- 43:50Speaker 1: I thought when you traded it for it. Now, just
- 43:52Speaker 1: getting a guy off the couch is just not the
- 43:54Speaker 1: easiest thing in the world. So if they're ready to play,
- 43:57Speaker 1: I'd be fine with it. I might like that situation
- 44:00Speaker 1: more than trading for another guy. I just think you
- 44:02Speaker 1: need some power. You just need a little bit more
- 44:04Speaker 1: power at running back. I'm with you there. I think
- 44:06Speaker 1: that might be a better, better solution and cheaper and
- 44:09Speaker 1: not having to give up picks. Thanks all right, thank you, Eric,
- 44:13Speaker 1: appreciate that all right that I think is going to
- 44:16Speaker 1: do it for us for today. No more calls on
- 44:19Speaker 1: the line. Time to get out of here. We got
- 44:22Speaker 1: Cowboys break coming up here. We got shows all day long,
- 44:25Speaker 1: Cowboys and Rams. I'll make a pick. I think the
- 44:27Speaker 1: Cowboys will win it. Thirty one sixteen. I think that
- 44:30Speaker 1: they are going to have a really big day rushing
- 44:34Speaker 1: the passer. I think Matthew Stafford's going to have some issues.
- 44:37Speaker 1: I think Michah Parson is going to go off. He
- 44:39Speaker 1: might have one of his best days. I really feel
- 44:41Speaker 1: like he's gonna he's gonna have a big game against
- 44:44Speaker 1: the Rams.
- 44:44Speaker 15: Uh.
- 44:45Speaker 1: Thirty one sixteen is my pick. There's going to be
- 44:47Speaker 1: tough to cover those receivers, but I think they can
- 44:49Speaker 1: get the job done, especially if they can get after
- 44:52Speaker 1: the quarterback. All right, So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman.
- 44:55Speaker 1: We will see you on Monday on Cowboys Storyline to
- 44:58Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys in the Ram. See you then.
- 45:01Speaker 15: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 45:04Speaker 15: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
