  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman. What's up. Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Nick Eatman. It's Monday, September twenty second. The sun hasn't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: come out because it's raining, but probably will at least
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: in some parts of the world. Tough one, for sure.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you, guys that you live
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: through it. You live through it for a while now.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Thirty one fourteen Bears beat the Cowboys. That was a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: wild game, especially because well not wild like last week's wild,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: but just wild because I don't I don't know if
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: anyone saw that one coming. I know nobody on this
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: show saw it coming, because I didn't I write down
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the scores. I didn't write that one down. Bears, you
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: know it was. It was tough going there. Peyton Manning
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: joined the Bears. It seems like yesterday, and and that's
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what it looked like. Because Caleb Williams, they made him
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: out to be a star, just like they made out
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the same with Russell Wilson the week before that this
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this defense is a huge problem right now, we know
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that everyone can see it. I personally think it's it's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the past rush. If you've read my column where I said,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: there's there's one problem here, one major problem, and it's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the pass rush. Now, the secondary obviously is an issue,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: but I really believe that if you fix what's going
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: on up front, it changes a lot. And I think
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that's where it all stems from. But we can talk more.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I want to hear from you guys. I've been able
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to talked about on the radio. I've had my column
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and all that, so I want to hear what you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: guys have to say. A A A A five five
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: two two nine seven. Uh. Let's go to Michael Colton, California.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: What's going on everybody? Good morning? Hey, It's it's crazy, Nick,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: because it seems like man, we we you know how
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: like in order for everything to go right, you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in order for for it seem to be good, everything
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: has to fire off on all cylinders, all all parts
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: of the game, defense, offense, special teams, you know what
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I mean. But it's like, man, we we we can't.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: We can't seem to figure out to down and get
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: everything going. But I just want to I want to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: get your opinion. What would you do if if you
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: were front office, if this was your your job right
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: here to fix, what would you do? What would be
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: some moves you would make, and what positions would you address.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I know you probably can't get into specifics of names
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and all that, but I just want to hear what
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you would do.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Michael. Well, you know, I I feel like when you're
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it's an in the offseason, when it's March April May,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're dying for football, right you can't you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: can't get here soon enough, like when his training camp wins,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the season start all this stuff. So now that it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: here and you're three games into it, you're like, I'm
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: not one to just say, all right, well, let's just
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: give up on things and all that. Now you have
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to be smart about the moves you make. Don't go
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: out there and trade one of your number one picks
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: for a guy that may not be here next year.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: You just traded Michael Parsons to get one of those,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Let's don't turn back around and trade it, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and overpay for somebody. But you know, if there's a situation.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Remember the Mari Cooper situation. He was twenty four years
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: old and it was like, we'll sign him and we'll
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: have him for a little bit. So if you're going
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to make a move on for anybody, make sure it's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a player that's a young player that maybe he's not
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: happy where he wants to be and they don't think
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: they're gonna sign them, so they're gonna get rid of them.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: But if you're gonna get some help, it's got to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: be an impact player that you're going to keep down
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the road so that those guys don't grow on trees.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But I would do my best to find some kind
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of help in the in the defensive line, in the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in the pass rush. I I feel like you're gonna
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: get some help at corner. I know Bland'll be back.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: They didn't put him on IR, so it's you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I would I would think he could miss this game,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but if he was going to miss four games, then
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they should have put him on IR, and so they
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: haven't done that. I'd like to think he has a shot.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We'll see what's going on with CD, but I have
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a feel that the next caller here is going to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: talk about that. Brian and Kansas City. What's up, Brian?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Good morning, sir.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: How are you man?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: That thing was a dumpster fire? Holy wow? I mean
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: that was just that was like watching a train wreck
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: in slow motion. It just that was just un funny.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I read your art last night and I kind of agree.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I think if I was going to make a change now,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I think the thing I want to change is I
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: want Houston and Clowning as my starting defensive ends next week.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: The guys, you know, the other guys have all had
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: a chance and have all proven they can't do it. Yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and I wanted to. You know, I'm not saying go
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: out and get somebody else, because we have clown he
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: hadn't made it to the field yet. Houston seems like
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: the best option. So the thing that's a little bit
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: shocking is that nobody, I mean, Dante Fowler had ten
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and a half sacks playing opposite Dornce Armstrong last year
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: and he's got nothing this year, I mean zero, So
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: that you know, and everybody else, like you said in
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: your article, you know, as a rock, you would have
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: thought somebody would step somebody, somebody would come out and
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: be confident, and we just didn't have that, and then
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: you know the other thing on offense. You know, that
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: was probably more surprise to me that the offense couldn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: get things going, and once CD went out, you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: it just just died out. It was I was really
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: glad to hear after the game that he said he
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: thinks he'll play next week, that he's you know that
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: by the end of the night he felt already better
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: and had a little more strength in his ankle than
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: when it happened. So we can always hope, you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: and a week of scheming, you know, whether we have
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: him or don't with Pickens as number one, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I would say this, and I'll take this answer off air.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I would kind of hope that the Cowboys learned from
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: this the next time we change schemes. I think we
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: need to play in the preseason, not learn these lessons
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: during when the game's count Nick, and you can give
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: your opinion on that, and I'll take that off air.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Good to talk to.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You, brother, all right, thanks you too. I mean a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: lot of people don't want to see the injury to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: CD because he was playing running back, you know, and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that's very similar because that's not what he is you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and it's very similar to I think, you know, seeing
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: injuries in the preseason and all that. I I I'm
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: just not gonna go there about the preseason. I for
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a few reasons. Number One, you're not gonna be tested
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the way you're gonna be tested against the against in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: these games in the regular season. I mean, who's running
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the flee flicker in the preseason, So having them out
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: there maybe communicating. I mean, I'm sure that there are
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: some benefits. I'm not saying there's no benefits, but I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: don't know if those benefits are worth the risk of
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of we seeing injuries all through the league. We're seeing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, you're seeing freak type of injuries here.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: To me, it's just not worth it, not worth it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, you'd be absolute sick if you have that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So you're you're dealing with some of these things now,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but you know, you'd like to think you can fix
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: these things as the season goes on. But if you
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: get an injury in the middle in the preseason, to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a to a guy you're really counting on, I mean
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that that that that could change your season before it
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: even starts. So I just I don't see it. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: don't know if I know other teams do it, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: like I remember Cincinnati does it, right because Burrow was
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: getting hit pretty hard there. Well, Burrow's hurt too right now.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just kind of the luck of the draw.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: But personally I'm not risking it. But I know you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: guys do you guys say that that's fine, but it's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, Like we'll see somebody get hurt in the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: preseason and then it'll be like, well, was it worth it?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And so I I changed my stance, and I used
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to be the other way around, mainly because I just
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: wanted to watch good football. So I was like, man,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I hope SO and SO plays tonight, Hope Romo plays,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Hope Dak plays whatever. But as I once I saw
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Romo get crunched in Seattle there in that preseason game,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that's what led Dak being on the field. I mean,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: right then and there, I was like, man, it's really
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: worth it. So that's just my take on it. Irwin
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in Colorado is.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Next, Hey, Nick, how's it going.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Doing? Okay?
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: I guess yeah. So just a couple of things. Wow,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: I just don't understand what's going on with our defensive backs.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: It's a disaster. I don't know what they're gonna do.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's maybe a safety out there, Simmons, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: think a good cover of safety. I don't know if
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: they're considering something like that. And the other thing I
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: want to mention was, well, a couple of things I
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: thought Schunnenheimer said that they could scheme pressure when they
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: don't have really good pass rush, they can scheme that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, Caleb Williams looked like Tom Brady back there yesterday.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, he just like it was incredible. And then
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: the last thing I wanted to say was, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: the Davonte Williams hit that we have from Denver from
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: here for the first time, Schottenheimer kind of disappointed me
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: in his play calling. I think it was like four
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: minutes step in the game, correct me if I'm wrong.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: But they passed twice then one.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but why you know, you can blame Schottenheimer if
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you want.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: There.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: That could be a Dak move. I mean that that's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that's that hurry up type offense that could be. But yeah,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: buthemer needs to just say run the dang ball, because.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, spread out, spread it out.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: But Dante was pissed after the fumble, you know what
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, and he ran that way. I mean he
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: ran like I don't remember anybody's tackling him, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for less than a couple of yards.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: So that running back, he's really good. I've watched him play.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: I didn't really I don't really fall the Broncos at all,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: but I knew.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: About him when we got him.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: I thought that was a great pickup. And I think
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: Dallas really needs to sign this guy to another contract.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: I think they signed a one year deal, you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: but anyway, Yeah, I don't know, think about going out
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: there and getting the cover safety because jeez, are our
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: safeties look lost?
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's terrible.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It is, Well, thanks for taking that call. That not pretty,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: siu it. I know everybody's frustrated today and that they
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: should and it's and it's it's everything. I mean, when
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you just go down the list, you're like, what's wrong
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: with the secondary? What's wrong with the pass rush? You know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the linebackers even do anything, Let's put them in there,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean pick and drop the pass. Ced
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: was hurt and didn't come back. Why didn't come back? Well,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Davonte Williams, nice game, but he fumbled Ferguson thirteen catches,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: but for what eighty yards? I mean, he's not going anywhere.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: He's not doing anything. That's what they gave him. The
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Bears are like, sure, we'll give you Ferguson, go ahead,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: not going to give you anything deep, but dump it
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: off all day long to Ferguson, Dump it off to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: whoever you want to. The running backs caught the ball too.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: The problem there is make somebody miss. I mean, that's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. And that's why teams are going
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to continue to do that because who on this offense
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and that includes CD Pickens, Who on this offense? Are
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you like, all right, he'll break some tackles, now, Javonte Williams,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he runs hard, he'll break some tackles. He did a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: nice job with that. He probably has a good you
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: know number of you know, yards after contact and stuff
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: like that. But you know, Miles Sanders, Tolbert Turpin, I mean,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they're good in their own way, but just putting the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: ball in their hands and letting them go create that's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: where I think this team struggles and I think the team.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I think defenses are going to continue to play kind
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of umbrella type defenses, put everything in front of him
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and take their chances that they'll make the tackle. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that's so far, that's kind of worked, all right. Isaac
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: from Virginia is next, Isaac?
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: How you doing good?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? First sound call? Yes, sir, that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: sounds supposed to be just like that, Isaac, how you doing?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Man good to hear from you.
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir, doing all right.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: You know, it's a misery.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: Monday over here, but uh, you know, uh definitely went
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: to the game and was very hopeful, had my you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: hopes high, and definitely thought that we can pull this
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: one out heading into this weekend's you know, big game,
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: prime time, say night football against the Packers. But you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: it's urging the season still and even though it didn't
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: look didn't look very good and there's a lot to
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: be corrected, for sure, but I feel like I feel
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: like this is the kind of game when you did
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: it's a gut check and it's urging the season and
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: let's see how we respond. It's unfortunate that yet we
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: lost it. For sure, we looked like the oh and
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: two team going into the game, the Bears, and it
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: wasn't then it was us that looked like we were
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: the worst team and we played life like that. But
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: I think that I think we can pull this game all,
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm hopeful that rather than the troops there
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: and on prime time, you know, on you know, the
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: weekend's biggest stage, we can, uh, we can come through
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: and make something happen. I mean, I'm sorry, I had
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: a lot to say, but I'm just nervous, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: first time calling to you.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: For a long time.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: All right, all right, but I'm just trying to be positive.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You know, we good. I mean, we need some of that, Isaac.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the call misery Monday. That might just be
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the title of today's show. I mean, why not. I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: like it, uh coming in hot, coming in, uh contributing.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Isaac, and call us back for sure.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're a part of the show.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and having some some positive vialitu I mean that
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that's I'll say this, It's nice to have that. That's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: just kind of probably the type of person that you
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: might be there. There's gonna be calls here in the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: next thirty minutes or so, that probably won't be the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: same way. You know, Monday is is for that. It's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: for being miserable about it, you know, And and that's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: part of the cycle. We're not there to like get there.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: But I think what makes it worse is knowing what
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is next and knowing that emotional game that's gonna happen.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And yeah, okay, I mean we found out two things yesterday.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And when you think of the Packers Cowboys coming up
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, what do we learn on this Sunday? We
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: learned that the Cowboys aren't as good as we thought
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: they were. I mean, sorry not to be Danny Green
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: here or whatever that line was, but we found out
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that they they're not at that level. We also found
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: out Green Bay isn't either. Green Bay is not at
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that level either. So all that being said, it's gonna
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: be an interesting game. Now, are they gonna have different motivation?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Is there? You know? Pass Rusher gonna be at the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: highest level probably, probably, But then again it can work
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: against them because listen, cowboys have their own issues. There's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. We were in the press box,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: We're watching the game. It was crazy, wild, when it
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: comes to field goals and blocks and all this stuff
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: all around the league. But I know that I under this.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That field goal that the Browns made, I don't know
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: if it had an extra five yards. Five yards is
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: also the amount of an offside penalty that Green Bay
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: happened to get by their pass rusher number one who
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: jumped off sides and in that final drive and gave
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: them five extra yards and they ended up kicking a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: field goal. So all that being said, I think green
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Bay game is a It's still winnable. They're all winnable games.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It's also blowoutable, if that's a word. It's not, but
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it could be that that's a very blowoutable game for
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys if they don't, if they continue to let
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: guys run past, I mean, don't get any pass rush.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So I think that's what makes today's game kind of
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, today's show kind of worse. It's just that, Okay,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you had to have that one. You know what's next,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and you look like that, you know what's around the corner,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Michael and bolding Green Kentucky's next.
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: Hey man, you know, the season is very fluid. My
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: birthday's in mid October. We could be a completely different
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: team by then. Yeah, well you know, and you don't
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: even really start worrying until after after Thanksgiving. I saw
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: some stuff in there that they can I think they
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: can fix. Oh, by the way, flee flicker touchdown. I
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: hate it that it was the other way.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: But well it's always going to be the other way
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: because I mean, they're never going to run it here.
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: I know that you've been talking about it. So when
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: I saw it happen, I was like, dang it.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And it was a terrible flee flicker okay, because that
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: ball almost hit a cloud as they threw up in
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the air like that. I was like, what, what's happening?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know. I got comments about
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the flea flicker in the first two touchdowns, but go ahead.
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: I got a quick question. It's not about the game.
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: You're your second year with the Cowboys. We got a
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: hold of the one of the biggest draft bust in
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: NFL history, Ryan Leaf, and uh he uh. He played
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: four games, had a touchdown as interceptions, laffed, and then
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: came back. You got any stories on Yon Leaf?
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: That okay? All right? Now? The only story about about
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Ryan Leaf is the very first start he ever had.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It was against the Falcons in two thousand and I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: believe it was also Michael Vick's very first start on
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the other side for Atlanta. And I remember Joey Galloway
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: going down the field and look and he was open
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and Leaf thlew this pass and was like, oh, this
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: is going to be a touchdown. And the ball went
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: four rows into the stands, like off to the side
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and up in the air. It was terrible. And Ryan
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Leaf was like mad at himself and was just kind
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: of hitting his hand on his hip pad and it
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, you know, I've seen all the videos
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of when he was in San Diego, kind of hot
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: head and all that. I'm like, man, this guy's going crazy,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: like was pissed off. He's just kind of beating himself up.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And then after the game he comes out he was like, well,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you know what happened? He said, Well, my wrist popped out.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: That's why the ball went. My wrist popped out of
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the socket. I was just kind of hitting my wrist
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and get it back into you know. It was like
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the second quarter. I played the rest of the game
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: that way. I didn't play that well, if I remember correctly,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: or nobody did, but that's the only story I remember.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: It was just like, oh, okay, your wrist popped out,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you popped it back in and went and played quarterback
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Different world for sure, all right, Josh
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and Chicago's next?
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: Huge Misery loves Company. Yeah, hopefully the city beautiful is
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: better than the game for you.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But it's good times.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: Man, I just got two things to say. One, I
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: think according to Chad Gpt at least I haven't gone
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: back and a lot watched anything, but it looks like
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: Mazzie Smith didn't even play at all yesterday after being active.
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: I don't know if that's accurate or not. You know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: AI can be a little different, but my problem with
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: that is if he's not going to play at all,
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: at least give Joe play some snaps or in my eyes,
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: like Clowney, maybe isn't game ready one hundred percent, But
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: you know, if he's there and he's can be active
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: for you know, ten snaps that are passing downs, those
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: third down plays, it would have been nice to have
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: a pass rusher in there. I'm not saying he's got
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: to play all game, but you can find some way
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: to work him into some snaps would be nice.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he played. I don't know how many snaps, but
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: he did play. There was nobody on the team who
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: did not play.
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: That's why I thought I saw him out there. So
• 20:58
  Speaker 11: when I looked at chat GPT like just trying to
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: get a quick answer, I was like, I think that's wrong,
• 21:02
  Speaker 11: because I thought I saw him out there for at
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: least a handful of plays. Yeah. The other thing I
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: got is I just I don't know what's up with
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: the defense is obviously a problem, especially the secondary. It
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: looks like they don't understand the scheme or everyone's pointing
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: at each other when something goes completely on, you know,
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: somebody goes completely untouched. It's like corners and safeties are
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: pointing at each other. They clearly don't understand it. But
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: I also I don't know what's up with our tackles.
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: I thought there was places by both Guidon and Steel
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: that we're just just awful. And you know, if Nate
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: Thomas is ready, I might give him a look this week,
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: because you know, we obviously have a Number one coming
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: to town that that's going to be out for some blood.
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: So I might look at Naate Thomas in there for
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: a little bit.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Wow, that's just me.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it might just be you. I'm sorry.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know about that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That one I think is on all you. Now, somebody
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: else might have a different opinion, but Micah Parsons around
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the corner. No, I'm not going with Nate Thomas there.
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's good to hear that because because I don't know.
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: I just I thought Geon looked the mass yesterday. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: I don't know what the breakdown is or the ranking yet,
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: but I just I thought he looked the mass, and
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: I thought Steel looked. It hasn't looked like himself.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'll have to go back and look. I'll have to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: go back and watch the game. I felt like there
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: were times I just didn't see. I just didn't get
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: that feeling that the offensive line was just terrible. I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: didn't get that feeling yet. But I know there were
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: some breakdowns. I mean there was some sack. I thought
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the third quarter sack when they were driving right before
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the half of me that was huge. That was huge play.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And then and they didn't get the ball back until
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the end of the quarter. And that was mainly because
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the Bears just chewed up ten minutes of the clock.
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: But anyway, and your article is right on point about
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: some of the timeouts there too.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: That let's talk.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: About that, managements. Le's talk about that too, all right, Josh,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for the call. Appreciate that. Let's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: let's go to break here on Cowboys story and I'll
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: come back. I'll talk about that little sequence there at
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: before the half, all right, be right back after.

  Speaker 1: let me go to Travis and san Antonio next, Sarah, Travis, what's.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Up, Hey, Nick?
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: What's going on?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: Pretty good? I just I guess I just wanted to
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: say I looked it up last night because I'm sure
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: it's all I could do. I'm sure a lot of
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: people were just looking up stuff just so I was curious.
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: But I guess this year we've given up ninety two
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: points and ninety two points in three games, and the
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: only one worse than that was Mike Nolan, who we
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: have ninety seven and three games, So one more touchdown
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: we could have said a new record, not the record
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: you want to set. But I know everyone's talking about
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: the Mica thing. I did read your article as well, Nick.
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: It was a great article. The only thing I did.
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: I'm not saying. I'm no disagreement that the past rush
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: hasn't been what we thought it was going to be.
• 25:39
  Speaker 10: But I don't know if even if Micah helps. But
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: I don't even know if he helps to the extent
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: of how bad. You know, when guys are running wide open, like,
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: as long as you take care of him as an
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: opposing team, you know, you double and triple him. Nobody
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: else is winning their one on ones anyways, so I
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: don't know how much, like I think he helps, but
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: to the extent right now, I'm not sure. Look like
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: later in the game, maybe like late fourth quarter finally
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: they maybe got one in and maybe bench donno, but
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: you know, Donald playing in space just can't do it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: And they're not playing to dig strength when he's playing zone.
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: So I don't know how many more games it takes
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: to watch it and make a change, But I'll be
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: really curious yet again this week it's a but the
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: only I'm curious about is to see when he, you know,
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: Eberflus makes some changes, and hopefully that comes this week
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: and they shuffle some things up. But we'll see.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: Other than that, you guys have a great week, A
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: great show, Teculator.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Thanks Travis. I think that again, this isn't like excuses
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: or anything. I'm just this is just facts. I mean,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I think darn Blant will help. I mean there's no
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. I mean if he doesn't help, then
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you paid the wrong guy. And I think you he
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: will help, and so that that that's part of it there,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: You know, it'd be nice to have him back. We
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: saw it in the first game against the Eagles. I thought,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you know, the coverage was better. Now they have their
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: own issues there, but the coverage is better. I wanted
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to talk about one of the previous caller. I guess
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Josh was talking about the into the half. You know
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that I didn't understand that right there. And time management,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and it's always that no man's land when you're ball
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the ball is about midfield and it's minute and a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: half to go. It's one of those things like what
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: are we doing? And both sides are kind of the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: same way, like are we trying to get the ball back?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Or are we trying to make sure you don't score?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: And so it happens in every game really like college, pro,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: maybe even high school. It happens with there's that point
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: where you're starting to figure out what are we doing here?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to call timeouts to help you, But
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: at the same time, if you're going to score, then
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I want to call my timeouts so I can get
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the ball back. I mean, so that was kind of happening.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting that Schottenheimer called the timeout
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: with a minute and a half to go on second
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: after a four yard game, So second and six isn't
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: is it necessarily like, Oh, we're gonna stop them. And
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: then they call a timeout, and then they give up
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a third down play and and but but then I'm sorry,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: on the next play, they don't call a timeout. So
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: now it goes down to forty seconds. Then the Bears
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: get down to thirty after a play down to the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: ten yard line, and I mean Schottenheimer's running on the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: field calling time out thirty seconds to go. Let the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Bears do that. I mean, let the Bears call the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: time out, because they're gonna run down there and do
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: what they're they're gonna do. And if they're not gonna
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: call a time out, then they're probably you probably gotta
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: stop them for one, maybe two plays and they'll kick
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a field goal. But they called their last time out
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: with thirty seconds to go. The Bears scored, but Dallas
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: gets it back and they have no timeout. They're not
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: gonna do anything. I thought that was a really weird
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: set of calls there, and it was huge to go
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: down by ten right for the half was was was big,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And then the play that that happened, I don't understand
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I understand why safeties let guys go because they got
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: somebody behind him or whatever or any corner. But in
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: that play, I don't know. I don't know what Donovan
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Wilson was doing because who's gonna who are you passing
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: him off to? Like you're the guy, you're the last
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: line of defense. I'm watching the play right now. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: just still don't understand, Like I don't understand where you're like, Okay,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you can go by me because I got the flat.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Well that's a touchdown, all right, Lewis and links to Oklahoma.
• 29:33
  Speaker 14: You kind of sound like me watching the whole game yesterday.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. I mean the first touchdown, okay,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: he went for the jam, Digs went for the jam,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and he slips touchdown, and then there's a yeah, and
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: then there's a flea flicker again. You know, I think
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: it's a great play. It happens all the time. I mean,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. After that, you're thinking, okay,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: But the next two touchdowns were DJ Moore, we sitting there,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: call head off, the cell phone order the pizza, got
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the pizza looking.
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: I don't know who was supposed to be his man,
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: because I have no clue.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: Who was supposed to be there, because.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: What's his name?
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: The safety hooker is running. I don't know where he
• 30:17
  Speaker 14: was running to her. It was nobody there where he
• 30:19
  Speaker 14: was running. So I was confused on the signmon alignment.
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: So and I was just talking to a guy at
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: my job about it. I said, I I feel like
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: when you watch them, they have no clue what's going on.
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: You got linebackers running into space and I know it's
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: supposed to be zone, but they're running into spaces where
• 30:36
  Speaker 14: there's nothing there. You have safety looking in the backfield
• 30:40
  Speaker 14: while people are running by them. I'm not calling for
• 30:42
  Speaker 14: Evil Flus's job or anything like that. I just need
• 30:45
  Speaker 14: them to try to figure out what's going on, Like
• 30:48
  Speaker 14: how can you fix an issue when it looks like
• 30:50
  Speaker 14: everybody is confused and it's like you're getting no pass
• 30:53
  Speaker 14: rush whatsoever. I mean, I know they said Jadevin Crown
• 30:58
  Speaker 14: it probably wasn't ready to play. Put him on the field.
• 31:01
  Speaker 14: I mean, maybe he might get one pet pressure. I
• 31:03
  Speaker 14: felt like it felt like the d nds were running
• 31:05
  Speaker 14: right into the tackles and just stopping. And I know
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: those tackles aren't that good, but it feels like they
• 31:10
  Speaker 14: were just running into the tackles and just stopping. And
• 31:13
  Speaker 14: then I'm not even gonna talk about the offense too
• 31:16
  Speaker 14: much because I know a lot of the predicase off
• 31:17
  Speaker 14: of CD. But hey, figure it out, figure something out.
• 31:22
  Speaker 14: I mean, if George Pickens is gonna be your number
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: one option, fine, I mean.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: But to throw him the ball.
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: I love Tobart, quit the tober thing. I just throw
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: with this. If CD's not the game, throw at the Pickings.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: And if Pickings ain't in the.
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: Game, throw at the Ferguson.
• 31:36
  Speaker 14: But the little five yard dumb offs like they didn't
• 31:38
  Speaker 14: run Ferguson down to the like they didn't run a
• 31:41
  Speaker 14: seam at all. He was five yards or or two
• 31:44
  Speaker 14: geords or three yards away from the line of scrimmage.
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: And I had no clue what the hell was going
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: on with that. And so I'm hey, I'm probably about
• 31:51
  Speaker 14: as loss as everybody A right.
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: I'll talk to you later.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: All I appreciate it. I mean, be careful when you
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: say just throw the pickings. To throw it to Pickings,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, he's got to get a new helmet,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: because I think he broke one. Because he dropped one.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: He dropped the pass it. You know, here we are
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: again playing volleyball. I mean, you know it was a
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: nice set because that's that's that's what happened. You know. Now,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Pickings had an unbelievable touchdown catch. I mean that was
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. But they all do, right, I mean that's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: what I said earlier. Everybody had a yeah, but everybody
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: on offense. Great game for Ferguson, was it? I mean
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: thirteen catches, but I mean it was almost like thirteen carries. Seriously,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: if you had thirteen carries for eighty six yards, I
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: mean that that's a really good day. But it was
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: almost like what it was. I'm watching this flea flicker now,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: that the worst looking flea flicker except for the touchdown part. Again,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I'm running it once again. I again, I don't I
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: don't have I don't have the hate for Tolbert like
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: everyone else does. For some reason, I saw it on
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Twitter that he's the reason that Javonte fumbled because he
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: didn't block his guy. He did block the guy, blocked
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: him out of bounds, and then the guy went and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: made the play. I mean, Javonte's got to hang on
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to the ball. I mean, he obviously is not thinking
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: someone's coming from that side, but it happened, and but
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I thought Tolbert did a you know, nice job there,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: but you know, two point catch whatever. He Tolbert's fine
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to me for for what he for what he is,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: but you know, this team's got a lot a lot
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: of problems when we know this. Troy and Amarillo's next.
• 33:33
  Speaker 15: Hey, Nick, thanks for taking my call. I just kind
• 33:35
  Speaker 15: of just think when you said that now about Tolbert,
• 33:38
  Speaker 15: you know and stuff, and he really basically is what
• 33:40
  Speaker 15: he is. You're absolutely right. I just I mean, everybody
• 33:43
  Speaker 15: always hates on him and stuff like that, but I
• 33:44
  Speaker 15: mean he's just an he's like your third or fourth guy,
• 33:47
  Speaker 15: you know, He's like, that's what he is basically. I mean, so,
• 33:49
  Speaker 15: I mean, you know, he really shouldn't expect a ton
• 33:52
  Speaker 15: from the guy, you know. But I was kind of
• 33:55
  Speaker 15: more talking about the defense, you know, and I was
• 33:57
  Speaker 15: looking at, you know, just some of the sets you watch,
• 34:00
  Speaker 15: you know, we play a lot of this cover too,
• 34:02
  Speaker 15: I guess. And I'm not you know, I'm not gonna
• 34:04
  Speaker 15: act like I know everything, but I'm just saying it
• 34:06
  Speaker 15: seems like they they can't adapt to situations and stuff
• 34:12
  Speaker 15: like that. You know, when they can't come out of
• 34:13
  Speaker 15: their breaks fast enough. To me, it looks like I
• 34:15
  Speaker 15: don't know, and they don't carry guys. You know. It's
• 34:18
  Speaker 15: like when they if they're going to pass somebody off,
• 34:20
  Speaker 15: there better be somebody there, like they passed. I remember
• 34:23
  Speaker 15: twenty he passed a guy off yesterday and there was
• 34:26
  Speaker 15: nobody behind him. I mean, this is with Scott Freed
• 34:28
  Speaker 15: on the sideline, you know, and I'm like, I mean,
• 34:30
  Speaker 15: that can't happen. Those are just major, major blunders that
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: you know, you can't make up, especially when you're trailing
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: and you're trying to find you're trying to find your way.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 34:40
  Speaker 15: To me, Nick, I mean you maybe you may have
• 34:42
  Speaker 15: something to say about it, but it just has a
• 34:43
  Speaker 15: whole this whole defense has kind of like that might
• 34:46
  Speaker 15: noe vibe to me, but that's but that's just me.
• 34:49
  Speaker 15: I don't know. Maybe they can clean things up and stuff,
• 34:51
  Speaker 15: but anyways, but I'll let you respond to that. I
• 34:53
  Speaker 15: appreciate it, Nick, Thanks.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Man, Thanks Troy. I appreciate that call. And you know,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: that's about the third reference to the twenty twenty season
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: that I've seen and heard so far. So that's not
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: good by the way. You know, that's that's that's pretty boud.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: He got fired at midseason or later in the year.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: But it does have those those kind of vibes. And
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you know when you look at the schedule and you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: look at the teams you're gonna face, and you know,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I mean Jalen Hurts, Russell Wilson, Caleb Williams, you know,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jordan Love's coming up next, Justin Fields I
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: believe is healthy or going to be the quarterback there,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young. I mean, they had a big win at
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: home against the Falcons, shut them out, So those next
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: three games look look challenging for sure. Yeah. I again,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I've said it a lot. I don't think I've said
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: it this year yet, but this seems like the first
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: time to really bring it up. But with the busts
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that you're talking about past some guys off, it looks
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: like you're playing the zone. You're playing man, And I mean,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: that's that goes down to losing the game on Wednesday,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: losing it on Thursday, losing it in the team meeting room,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: not watching enough film, not understanding what you're watching out there,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: not understanding what's going on in practice. That's what it
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: looks like because you get out there in the games
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and you give up these kind of plays in the game.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: They don't look prepared. And I mean, look, look at
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: what's happening in the first half of games. Okay, I
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: mean first half of the game. Against the Eagles, they
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: scored every possession and I believe they got twenty one points.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I think they had three long possessions and they scored
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: twenty one. Last week with the with the Giants, I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: think they may have had ten points, maybe thirteen. And
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: then this week, you know, Chicago gets twenty four. So
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: right out of the bat, you know, these teams are
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: coming out and they're they're hitting the Cowboys in the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: mouth and they're really not responding. So that's that's kind
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: of been the issue. Chris and Saratoga Springs is next.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, Hey, a little embarrassed after that game, to
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: be honest, that's that's very discouraging.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Defense looks terrible.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, I remember when Jerry taught when he traded Mica,
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: I was talking about how we got to manufacture pressure.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: I don't see any of that four man rush every
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: single time, really not blitzing any corners. Not making any
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: adjustments on defense. It's just embarrassing. I think the offense
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: will be fine. A couple drops, you know, crucial turnover
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: by Javante, heard us step change the momentum really right
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: off the bat of the game. The only positive that
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: I could see out of that game that I pulled
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: out of it was Spams forward. That cat is unbelievable.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: The blocking that that kid does. He should be the
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: second tight end for sure on our team. He's on
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: like when I watched him, He's just unbelievable. And I
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: mean that's really the only positive I really got out
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: of that game. Very discouraged on that defense. Eber plus
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: has to do a better job before the game, like
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: during the week game planning, and even during the game
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: with adjustments because it's obviously if we're not getting pressure
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: on with four guys, we have to do something different
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: because we don't have the cornerbacks right now with all
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: these injuries to be able to cover like we did
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: in previous years. So we need to manufacture pressure and
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: that means rushing five six guys on that line of scrimmage,
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: not four. But that's I mean, that's really all I got.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Just very discouraged. I went up and watched it with
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: my dad, who my eleven year old son drove up north,
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: and we were all three of us were just just
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: very very bummed out after the game.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and you should be. I mean, that was
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: a it was a pretty pretty awesome win in week two.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: And it's the nature of the enough well, I mean,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it's what happens you come back and have a crazy loss.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Chris, you know, I agree with
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: you one. I mean, that's what I've been preaching here.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: That's where I think this whole thing starts. It's the pressure.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: And you saw it in the Philadelphia game in Week one.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: They weren't getting there. Come out of the third quarter,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Digs on a corner blitz, Bland on a corner blitz.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've gotta you've got to give these looks.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: You've got to give these quarterbacks looks they haven't seen
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: some one way or another. So rush from you know,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: come up with nine different variations of a blitz in
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: in the week and use them all. Samborn here, Samborne
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: over the middle, Kenneth Murray this time, this time, Safety here,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: fake the blitz coming. You got it. You've got to
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: change things. Show seven and drop drop three. Sometimes you
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: bring all I mean, it's got to be different. Okay,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: you can't have a tell and that. I mean, I'm
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: not saying we're playing poker here, but but but you can't.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: You can't have There's too much analytics out there for
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: them to say like, all right, this is what the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Cowboys do here, this is what they like to do here.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: It's you gotta mix it up all the time. And
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and that we're not seeing enough for that. I mean
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: that that's what against the Packers, Jordan Love's got to
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: see twelve different looks he hasn't seen before. And that's
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: that's not easy to do. It's it's easy to say that,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: but it's not easy to do because you got to
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: practice it. You gotta you gotta get these guys to
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: understand what you're doing. But when it comes to blitz,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: they have to throw a lot more out there. Let's
• 40:37

• 42:17
  Speaker 1: good to hear from you, Eric.
• 42:19
  Speaker 18: Hey, thanks for taking my pall. Like, yeah, first time caller,
• 42:22
  Speaker 18: I've been a long time week there we go back
• 42:26
  Speaker 18: back when you know, I think you were on the
• 42:28
  Speaker 18: break with David Hellman, miss him, But yeah, I've I've
• 42:31
  Speaker 18: had a couple of my questions answered on the mailbag.
• 42:34
  Speaker 18: But first time caller, Hey. Two things I wanted to
• 42:36
  Speaker 18: just maybe mention is do you personally think this is
• 42:40
  Speaker 18: the issue with our defense right now is because of
• 42:44
  Speaker 18: a lack of them being able to know what they're
• 42:47
  Speaker 18: supposed to do or versus, you know, we have the
• 42:49
  Speaker 18: wrong players in the wrong scheme type of deal where
• 42:52
  Speaker 18: we're not you know, you've got to in the box
• 42:54
  Speaker 18: safety trying to cover with Donovan Wilson. So it is
• 42:58
  Speaker 18: it a we have the wrong person or we just
• 43:00
  Speaker 18: don't have the right We spent too much time in
• 43:03
  Speaker 18: playing playing Team Plong and not enough time in the playbook.
• 43:06
  Speaker 18: The second thing I'd like to maybe see is moving
• 43:09
  Speaker 18: forward from this with our defense being suspected they are,
• 43:12
  Speaker 18: you know, do you see a way forward of us
• 43:14
  Speaker 18: just maybe limiting how much the offit the other opposing
• 43:18
  Speaker 18: offices have by running the ball, you know, using Javonte Williams,
• 43:22
  Speaker 18: he's been really a surprise for me, really great this year,
• 43:26
  Speaker 18: and maybe just running the ball more and keeping the ball,
• 43:28
  Speaker 18: you know, like keeping our defense off the field and
• 43:31
  Speaker 18: maybe maybe just address those two things or whatever you feel, right.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Thanks, all right, Eric, thanks for the call. I'm glad,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: glad you were able to make it in man. I
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: mean you might be right there with that second point.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I just that sucks when when it sucks during the season,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: when when that's that's what it is like when you're like,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: all right, we got to run the ball, we got
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: to keep them off the field. But that's that's the reality.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying it's not. It's just it
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: sucks with your offense the way it is, and you
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: want this high powered offense, which you know some weeks
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: is having big weeks and you know it's kind of
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: back and forth a little bit. I don't know if
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: it's just a run run and you know, keep the ball,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: and but that's what the Bears did. You know that
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: that's kind of you know, but the Bears mixed it up.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I mean they had a couple of big shot, big
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: plays and then when it was time to them to
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: crank off a nineteen play drive. I wish I was exaggerating.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Nineteen play drive when you when they need to keep
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: the ball. I mean they had four third downs and
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: one fourth down conversion for the touchdown. I mean that's
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: as backbreaking as you can possibly get. And then you
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: asked about why. I mean, I've said it several times.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I yes, I know all about the coverage
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: and the miscommunication and all that, but I said this
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: on the on the air on the radio this morning
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: on one O five three the fan, and I I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: believe this. Darren Woodson and Dion Sanders aren't going to
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: have the greatest communication if they're back there for nine seconds,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: is that they're not going to get it covered. It
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter who, So they got to eliminate. I think
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the last caller was it Chris and Saratoga Springs or
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Troy from Mmerminan one do y'all like it's got to
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: be the rush. It's got to be You've got to
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: figure that out. I don't think you're gonna figure this
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: out on the back end, but you got to make sure.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, I don't think you're gonna figure it out
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: just overnight. I think that they can do some things
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: in terms of the secondary, but I think they've got
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: to figure out a way to get these guys home.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Robin Vegas is last, and he's next, and
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: he's in a great.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: Moody Nick Hey, Rob.
• 45:30
  Speaker 19: Unfortunately, it was another turn the channel game. There's been
• 45:34
  Speaker 19: a lot of them lately. Let's face it.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: To what turning it to what?
• 45:41
  Speaker 19: Well, I just technically, I just I shut it off
• 45:44
  Speaker 19: like it did something else. All right, But.
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: Ever since the.
• 45:50
  Speaker 19: Pack of loss in the playoffs, this team's been a
• 45:54
  Speaker 19: no man's land. They and they pumped the next season, didn't.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: Really do much.
• 46:00
  Speaker 19: And then you know, we're talking about Matt Ebersflus, but
• 46:05
  Speaker 19: you traded in his Ferrari for broken down Hyundais as
• 46:09
  Speaker 19: pass rushers, and let's say said this, maybe four guys
• 46:13
  Speaker 19: on defense that would start on any other team. So
• 46:18
  Speaker 19: I really don't know. They can't fix it because it's
• 46:22
  Speaker 19: not a scheme thing as much as we don't have
• 46:24
  Speaker 19: any players, you need players. I don't care who the coaches.
• 46:29
  Speaker 19: You need players. You look at the defense and who
• 46:33
  Speaker 19: stands out. Sam Williams has as many rush moves as me.
• 46:37
  Speaker 19: He just runs right into the guys. You know, the
• 46:40
  Speaker 19: rookie Donovan I got played better Kenny Clark. Let's say
• 46:45
  Speaker 19: he's there to stop the run. And let's not even
• 46:49
  Speaker 19: talk about Diggs. Once he got made one tackle, he
• 46:52
  Speaker 19: just finished. So it's like, what are you going to
• 46:55
  Speaker 19: ask this guy to do? You took away the most
• 46:58
  Speaker 19: disruptive de sense of player in the movie. And we've
• 47:01
  Speaker 19: seen this in the past. Last year when when Michael
• 47:05
  Speaker 19: wasn't on the field, this defense was horrible. So you know,
• 47:09
  Speaker 19: as fans, we always we always hope for the best.
• 47:12
  Speaker 19: Are what we trade him. We're gonna take those pics
• 47:14
  Speaker 19: and we're going to be better, maybe maybe years from now,
• 47:18
  Speaker 19: but you know what, you're not gonna have a quarterback.
• 47:22
  Speaker 19: You know, I thought Gok played. I think Dak's playing
• 47:27
  Speaker 19: very good this year. Unfortunately, it's a result oriented business
• 47:31
  Speaker 19: and we're not getting the results. We're not getting the points. Yeah,
• 47:36
  Speaker 19: you know, I thought they would have scored more you know,
• 47:39
  Speaker 19: we got a running back. Now I think that I
• 47:41
  Speaker 19: think I agree with the coursid. He's only twenty five
• 47:44
  Speaker 19: years old. The kid looks really good. You got two wives,
• 47:48
  Speaker 19: you had everything going into the season. We knew what
• 47:50
  Speaker 19: the problem was was all on the defense. You got
• 47:53
  Speaker 19: an offensive line. The left tackle we still think as iffy,
• 47:57
  Speaker 19: but everybody else looks looks good. Even Steel, I think
• 48:00
  Speaker 19: it's playing Okay. He didn't have the best game, but
• 48:02
  Speaker 19: he's still solid. We all knew the issue was on
• 48:06
  Speaker 19: the defense. They really didn't do anything to address it
• 48:11
  Speaker 19: that would make a difference. They just brought in bodies
• 48:13
  Speaker 19: and then, like I says, you get rid of the
• 48:15
  Speaker 19: best guy. This is going to happen, and I just
• 48:19
  Speaker 19: don't see it's pulling out of this. We're probably a
• 48:23
  Speaker 19: six win team if we're if we're lucky, you know.
• 48:26
  Speaker 19: And I don't know if Dak should call him sick
• 48:29
  Speaker 19: next week, but he's gonna get hammered, you know. Listen.
• 48:35
  Speaker 19: I don't think the Packers are the best team in
• 48:37
  Speaker 19: the league. But the one thing they could do is
• 48:40
  Speaker 19: they could get after their quarterback and they get it
• 48:43
  Speaker 19: from the edges, and I just Jak is I'm gonna
• 48:47
  Speaker 19: I hope that is okay after next week's game.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: All right, Rob, Yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks for the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: call on Dak might do a lot of things. He's
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: not calling sick, you know that, and that's that's why
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: he's the quarterback and he's you know, some people are
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: going to be afraid he won't be that maybe, you know,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: and we'll see, we'll see what happens. But you know,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: they lost to the Browns. You know, at home, they
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: scored ten points against the Browns. So I again, we've
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: seen teams with the Bears look terrible in Week two
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and then now look at him. So I mean, I'm
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: not trying to say they're not any good or they'll
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: they'll play bad against the Cowboys. I'm just saying, if
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you do what you're supposed to do, this can be
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: a winnable game. But it could. It could it can
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: get as ugly as what we saw Sunday as well.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll do it. Good, good show, guys. I
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: appreciate the calls. I know it's been it's tough. So
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: you know, these are the ones that you kind of
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: dread a little bit, you know, because you just don't
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get, but you guys are respectful.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: You show your frustration, but you do it in a
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: classy way, and I definitely appreciate that. Let's do it
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: again tomorrow. Let's talk about what went wrong again last
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: week and how how it can get fixed and how
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: it can get cleaned up, and what they've got in
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: front of them. All right for Chris Beam, I'm Nick
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: eating see tomorrow on the Cowboy storyline.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
