- 0:02Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
- 0:05Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 4: What's up everyone, Welcome to the Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick
- 0:22Speaker 4: Eatman here Tuesday, December the third. Uh, Cowboys got a
- 0:26Speaker 4: full week here before we take on the Cincinnati Bengals
- 0:30Speaker 4: next Monday night.
- 0:31Speaker 5: They're gonna need it.
- 0:31Speaker 4: That's been eleven days since they've played in between games
- 0:35Speaker 4: from the Giants to the Bengals. So the Cowboys, of anybody,
- 0:38Speaker 4: needs it more than you can imagine with all these injuries.
- 0:42Speaker 4: It does look kind of positive as the team is
- 0:45Speaker 4: starting to get healthier, healthier each game here, and it's
- 0:50Speaker 4: showing up on the on the scoreboards, showing up in
- 0:52Speaker 4: the standings. I'm starting to get some players back, of course,
- 0:56Speaker 4: you know, four weeks ago, getting Micah Parsons back, that's
- 0:59Speaker 4: that was the first domino. Now you're starting to get
- 1:02Speaker 4: dron Bland. He's played two games, Brandon Cooks played a game.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Looks like you're gonna get Zach Martin, maybe Trayvon Diggs back,
- 1:10Speaker 4: DeMarcus Lawrence still working on that and probably not this game.
- 1:14Speaker 4: I think Stephen Jones said it was a long shot
- 1:16Speaker 4: for him to play this week, but still getting closer
- 1:19Speaker 4: and closer, and maybe they can get him for the
- 1:23Speaker 4: final four games of the season. That would be huge,
- 1:25Speaker 4: especially against the run, which you know, that's that's been
- 1:30Speaker 4: an issue for this for this team all season long,
- 1:33Speaker 4: stopping the run. Of course, this game Cincinnati coming up,
- 1:37Speaker 4: they got a running back and Brown, but but I
- 1:40Speaker 4: think it's it's Burrow and Chase and Higgins that you're
- 1:42Speaker 4: gonna have to worry about more than anything, so that
- 1:45Speaker 4: that's gonna be the test. I think Burrow is the
- 1:46Speaker 4: best quarterback that they've obviously have faced all year long,
- 1:51Speaker 4: you know, and when you look at the wins that
- 1:53Speaker 4: they've had this year, the starting quarterbacks that have been
- 1:56Speaker 4: out there, you know, not not your best guys. Obviously
- 2:00Speaker 4: with with Daniel Jones, who's not even on the Giants anymore,
- 2:04Speaker 4: justin Fields who's not starting for Pittsburgh, Jane Daniels, that
- 2:09Speaker 4: that was he could be rookie of the year, So
- 2:11Speaker 4: that was that was a good win. And then of
- 2:12Speaker 4: course Drew Locke and I'm missing another win in there Cleveland,
- 2:18Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson, who's not who's not starting. He's on IR
- 2:22Speaker 4: So the only guy that's really the starter is jayde
- 2:26Speaker 4: and Daniels, And you can argue he was not even
- 2:28Speaker 4: one hundred, all right, eight eight eight five five two
- 2:31Speaker 4: two nine seven. It's the number to call. Michael and
- 2:34Speaker 4: Bowling Green is first off. So Michael, what's up?
- 2:38Speaker 6: I got a question for you. Nick.
- 2:40Speaker 5: Well, that's the that's the show, that's what we do here.
- 2:43Speaker 6: Do you think Jerry should give Mike McCarthy a four
- 2:49Speaker 6: year or a five year extension because I believe you
- 2:52Speaker 6: should get an extension.
- 2:53Speaker 5: Why well, why would you give him an extension?
- 2:58Speaker 6: Well, I mean, won twelve games three years in a row.
- 3:03Speaker 6: This year, he's not gonna win twelve, but he had
- 3:08Speaker 6: a new defensive coordinator. It took longer for the defense
- 3:11Speaker 6: to really get going with the new thing. It's taken
- 3:16Speaker 6: longer for the running back room to get going. A
- 3:19Speaker 6: hundred yards rushing last week. He's had more injuries than
- 3:25Speaker 6: I can remember having, and he could still possibly win
- 3:31Speaker 6: ten games. Yeah, I believe he should get a long
- 3:37Speaker 6: term extension and so so he can finish what he's
- 3:41Speaker 6: come here to do.
- 3:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't necessarily disagree with you, I
- 3:46Speaker 4: don't you know, I would you do it right now
- 3:50Speaker 4: or you want to see if how the season goes.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Are you just saying this is a wash because it's
- 3:56Speaker 4: the injuries and whatever it is is what it is.
- 3:59Speaker 6: I think I think when they beat the Bengals and
- 4:03Speaker 6: then uh they beat Carolina, I think I think right
- 4:09Speaker 6: around there, they need to gohe and do it. Do
- 4:11Speaker 6: it before the season's over.
- 4:13Speaker 5: Okay, just get all these.
- 4:15Speaker 6: People to just hush about, you know, said Dion. And
- 4:20Speaker 6: I believe Dion's going to the Giants. I believe he's
- 4:23Speaker 6: gonna coach. I believe his son is gonna get drafted
- 4:26Speaker 6: by the Giants. And I think he's going to coach
- 4:28Speaker 6: for the Giants. But uh, I think they need to
- 4:31Speaker 6: go in and do it. And uh, I mean I
- 4:34Speaker 6: think it's I think the next few years are gonna be.
- 4:37Speaker 6: This is the one you always take when you got
- 4:41Speaker 6: you know, a five year thing or something with whatever.
- 4:44Speaker 6: You always take the best and the worst out. Yeah,
- 4:47Speaker 6: then you average in the middle. What do you get
- 4:50Speaker 6: when you take the best and the worst out? Three
- 4:52Speaker 6: twelve win seas?
- 4:54Speaker 4: Yeah, well two seasons, right, because you gotta take that out.
- 4:59Speaker 6: No any any of one year before the three.
- 5:03Speaker 5: Twelve, six and ten.
- 5:04Speaker 4: Yeah, six and ten, So you know you would take
- 5:07Speaker 4: if you're taking out the best and the worst, you
- 5:08Speaker 4: probably take out you know, they'll probably be better than that,
- 5:13Speaker 4: better than six and ten. That was the last year
- 5:16Speaker 4: of a sixteen game schedule, So you'll probably take out
- 5:18Speaker 4: his first two years. And now you've got to twelve
- 5:21Speaker 4: and five's and what this is. And if you're doing that,
- 5:23Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's good. Yeah, there's no doubt about
- 5:26Speaker 4: it that that his record is good enough to keep.
- 5:30Speaker 4: There's a lot of teams out there that would love
- 5:32Speaker 4: to have coaches with this record, but that that isn't
- 5:35Speaker 4: always the situation here. The expectations, you guys know, is
- 5:39Speaker 4: higher than that, and so that would be the move
- 5:42Speaker 4: if they decide to get another coach. Can he take
- 5:45Speaker 4: them to a level that McCarthy hasn't taken him to.
- 5:47Speaker 4: That would be the big question, and that's the dilemma
- 5:49Speaker 4: that Jerry has in front of him. But you know,
- 5:53Speaker 4: I appreciate that the call I don't think a lot
- 5:55Speaker 4: of people share that opinion. A lot of the callers.
- 5:59Speaker 4: I'd like to here if they do, But you know,
- 6:03Speaker 4: I think he's got some work to do still, and
- 6:06Speaker 4: if he does, if this team continues to get better
- 6:08Speaker 4: with all the injuries that you have, I think you
- 6:10Speaker 4: can make a case for it. But you have to
- 6:14Speaker 4: you know, you have to look at your fan base.
- 6:15Speaker 4: You have to kind of read the room, if you will,
- 6:18Speaker 4: And you know that's not going to be like Michael.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Your opinion is probably in the minority of a lot
- 6:25Speaker 4: of opinions out there of people that want to change
- 6:28Speaker 4: that you can't just jump every time somebody wants to change.
- 6:31Speaker 4: They don't really understand how how all that works and
- 6:36Speaker 4: understand the importance of having the continuity.
- 6:40Speaker 5: Like you have with a coach.
- 6:41Speaker 4: But it's a great perspective though, and I appreciate you
- 6:45Speaker 4: calling in to say that. All right, let's go to
- 6:47Speaker 4: Greg and Sacramento, California.
- 6:49Speaker 7: Greg, Hey, good morning, Nick.
- 6:51Speaker 5: How are you doing good? How are you doing? Good
- 6:53Speaker 5: morning to you.
- 6:55Speaker 7: I'm doing well. I actually got in on my first continday.
- 6:58Speaker 7: I tried calling in yesterday but there was a no go.
- 7:00Speaker 7: But uh, but yeah, I got in today. So so
- 7:04Speaker 7: glad to be able to talk to you for a second.
- 7:05Speaker 5: Great, thank you.
- 7:08Speaker 7: First off, I just want to say what you what
- 7:10Speaker 7: you do. I can't remember his name. The guy that
- 7:12Speaker 7: calls in and does ask you, like the really good
- 7:14Speaker 7: trivia questions. Yeah, I really enjoy that. I really enjoy that.
- 7:18Speaker 7: And it's to be like seeing you just pull those
- 7:21Speaker 7: questions out right, like actually ask them. I have no
- 7:24Speaker 7: idea how you do that. That's pretty amazing. I gotta
- 7:25Speaker 7: give you kudos from that. Every time I hear to
- 7:28Speaker 7: do that, I'm like, wow, yeah.
- 7:30Speaker 5: I'll tell you how.
- 7:31Speaker 4: I'll tell you how you get d's and c's in
- 7:34Speaker 4: your report card when you're like fifth and sixth grade,
- 7:36Speaker 4: seventh grade, didn't care about school. I didn't care at all.
- 7:39Speaker 4: All I care about was the Cowboys. I love the Cowboys.
- 7:42Speaker 4: I care about the Cowboys. I would watch the games
- 7:45Speaker 4: three or four times and be like, it's Thursday, why
- 7:47Speaker 4: are you watching this game? And I'm like, cause I
- 7:50Speaker 4: just want to watch it again, Like well, how about
- 7:51Speaker 4: do your homework? And I'm like, oh, okay, you know
- 7:55Speaker 4: degrees though, right.
- 7:57Speaker 5: D D for diploma all day long.
- 7:59Speaker 4: So yeah, but I appreciate it, and I enjoy that too.
- 8:04Speaker 4: And I appreciate the fact that the questions like they're
- 8:08Speaker 4: they're right, some of them are really really.
- 8:10Speaker 5: Challenging supper right there.
- 8:12Speaker 4: But I'm glad that they're not like super like, you know,
- 8:15Speaker 4: what was the score of this game back in nineteen
- 8:17Speaker 4: seventy eight or something like that.
- 8:19Speaker 7: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if you knew it anyway, Really,
- 8:22Speaker 7: I would not be.
- 8:23Speaker 5: Maybe maybe in the eighties.
- 8:25Speaker 4: I can get some scores in the eighties and nineties,
- 8:27Speaker 4: but not seventies.
- 8:27Speaker 5: I don't know what's up.
- 8:29Speaker 8: What's that great anyway?
- 8:31Speaker 7: So I just wanted to say, here's another game, right
- 8:34Speaker 7: I called him on I don't know, sometime last week,
- 8:36Speaker 7: and I called him and talked about how Rico dwell
- 8:39Speaker 7: when he has those games above, you know, eighty plus
- 8:41Speaker 7: yards rushing. So far, we've won all those games. So
- 8:45Speaker 7: here's another one, you know, his best rushing game. And
- 8:48Speaker 7: we we won pretty pretty I would say, pretty dominantly.
- 8:51Speaker 7: Like maybe at the end, you know, we we kind
- 8:54Speaker 7: of let off the gas a little. But but I mean,
- 8:56Speaker 7: you know, it seems like running the ball through Rico
- 8:59Speaker 7: is kind of giving the team some juice. So I really,
- 9:03Speaker 7: you know, it seems like I hope Micah was actually listening.
- 9:06Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy was listening to a storyline, and I want
- 9:09Speaker 7: to take credit for making sure that he was the
- 9:11Speaker 7: Balta Rica. And then I had another question for you,
- 9:18Speaker 7: and I think you were you were absolutely right when
- 9:20Speaker 7: I asked you this earlier in the season. So I called,
- 9:21Speaker 7: like maybe I don't know if it was gay after
- 9:23Speaker 7: game one or two or something like that, and I
- 9:25Speaker 7: asked you which group, which defensive group did you think
- 9:29Speaker 7: was going to do the best, the D line, the
- 9:33Speaker 7: you know, secondary or the linebackers. And you told me
- 9:36Speaker 7: whatever group Micah is in, and I You're I gotta
- 9:39Speaker 7: say again, you're exactly right again, Like I really feel
- 9:42Speaker 7: like Micah makes not not just his defensive linebacker group,
- 9:46Speaker 7: but like the whole defensive unit. He makes it better
- 9:48Speaker 7: just by being there. And uh so I just wanted
- 9:52Speaker 7: to give you another kudos on that You're exactly right there.
- 9:55Speaker 7: And then and then one other thing was, you know,
- 9:58Speaker 7: I will also I've been saying it's not over till
- 10:00Speaker 7: it's over. I mean, you know, I saw them on
- 10:03Speaker 7: the tickers the other day in the game one of
- 10:05Speaker 7: these games that the Cowboys are now in the hunt,
- 10:07Speaker 7: you know, and they're actually on that listen. I know
- 10:09Speaker 7: it's still slim. I know, chance are still clim like
- 10:12Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not gonna like hold my breath, but
- 10:15Speaker 7: it's not it's over.
- 10:17Speaker 5: I mean, all right, yeah, you know that's.
- 10:21Speaker 7: I got just.
- 10:23Speaker 5: Thank thanks for the thanks for the call, Greg, and
- 10:26Speaker 5: I appreciate it. And you're right.
- 10:27Speaker 4: I mean, you know, if if it's not if it's
- 10:31Speaker 4: not true, then take them off the screen, you know,
- 10:33Speaker 4: take them off the screen for the in the hunt
- 10:35Speaker 4: they are. I mean that that's that's what it is.
- 10:39Speaker 4: They got a lot of hunting to do. Uh still,
- 10:41Speaker 4: but you know, just the next three games are against
- 10:46Speaker 4: you know, opponents that don't have a winning record, and
- 10:50Speaker 4: so you know, the Bengals are four and eight, and.
- 10:55Speaker 5: I get it.
- 10:55Speaker 4: They they're they're they're a team that looks better than
- 10:58Speaker 4: four and eight. But you know, it's funny, it's that
- 11:01Speaker 4: like if we were to say that here, you know,
- 11:04Speaker 4: if you just say that, like, you know, the Cowboys
- 11:06Speaker 4: are probably a little bit better than that, you know,
- 11:08Speaker 4: than five and a seven when you look at all
- 11:10Speaker 4: the injuries, you'll be so quick to the Bill park Bill.
- 11:13Speaker 5: Parcells says, you are what you are. You know, that's
- 11:15Speaker 5: what Bill Parcell says. You are what you are.
- 11:17Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, five and seven then, but somehow the
- 11:20Speaker 4: Bengals at four and eight, I mean, this this team's
- 11:23Speaker 4: this team may go to the super Bowl at four
- 11:25Speaker 4: and eight, I mean they aren't what they are apparently,
- 11:29Speaker 4: and I like, I just said, that's the best quarterback
- 11:32Speaker 4: you're going to face all season long, the best passing game.
- 11:36Speaker 5: But some's not working.
- 11:38Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what it is, but whether
- 11:40Speaker 4: they got a lot of common opponents with the Cowboys.
- 11:43Speaker 4: They're not beating the Steelers. They're not beating the Ravens either,
- 11:47Speaker 4: you know, and maybe you say, well the eye test
- 11:50Speaker 4: is different. Fine, but they're not winning any games. So
- 11:54Speaker 4: I'm not saying that it's going to be easy. But
- 11:56Speaker 4: at four and eight, like, let's calm down on how
- 11:59Speaker 4: great they are, they find ways to lose. I know that,
- 12:01Speaker 4: and we'll see if that happens on Monday night. You know,
- 12:05Speaker 4: Cowboys didn't take Carolina after that. The Bucks are six
- 12:09Speaker 4: and six, uh, and they just played those who played
- 12:12Speaker 4: an overtime game against each other. So you know, I mean,
- 12:15Speaker 4: like those three games, this team hasn't showed consistency to
- 12:19Speaker 4: go out and win. What which would be what five
- 12:21Speaker 4: in a row. They that's not what this team has been.
- 12:24Speaker 4: They're gonna have to show a level consistency that they
- 12:26Speaker 4: haven't shown all year. But you know, at least the
- 12:29Speaker 4: schedule kind of matches up for them to do that.
- 12:31Speaker 4: All right, Rob, what's up? Robin Vegas?
- 12:36Speaker 7: Hey?
- 12:36Speaker 9: Nick?
- 12:36Speaker 5: How good man? How are you?
- 12:38Speaker 9: I'm good? How was your Thanksgiving?
- 12:40Speaker 5: It was great?
- 12:40Speaker 9: And you it was very good? I mean food was great,
- 12:45Speaker 9: the company was great. And I told you the Cowboys
- 12:49Speaker 9: were gonna that. The game wasn't as close as the score.
- 12:53Speaker 9: For some reason, we like to we like to bring
- 12:55Speaker 9: the other team, let the other team have hope.
- 12:58Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, the defense, the defense allows that to
- 13:03Speaker 4: happen there, and we've seen it now two games in
- 13:05Speaker 4: a row. But still both games should have been twenty
- 13:09Speaker 4: seven to twenty. Well, actually the Giant game probably shouldn't
- 13:12Speaker 4: have been twenty seven to twenty, but Washington, that's what
- 13:14Speaker 4: that should have been. If you just tackle McLaurin, he's
- 13:17Speaker 4: not running around all the place should have been twenty
- 13:19Speaker 4: seven to twenty also, But yeah, nuts, yeah, what's that mean?
- 13:25Speaker 9: I like Michael from Bowling Green, but there's no way
- 13:28Speaker 9: you bring Mike McCarthy back unless he gets ten wins.
- 13:33Speaker 9: Like you said, yeah, run out, gotta win out, get
- 13:37Speaker 9: to the playoffs, win a playoff game, because twelve and
- 13:42Speaker 9: five sounds great. Only if you go to the NFC
- 13:46Speaker 9: Championship game, well you get pass the first rounds. Other
- 13:49Speaker 9: than that, No, he's had five years. You know, it's
- 13:54Speaker 9: funny we forget about the first year. But he's had
- 13:58Speaker 9: five years to get the job done. You don't get
- 14:01Speaker 9: it done in five years, it's time to move on.
- 14:04Speaker 4: Well, hold on, hold on, Rob, hold on. So if
- 14:08Speaker 4: you don't get the job done in five years, it's
- 14:11Speaker 4: time to move on.
- 14:12Speaker 5: So what is the job for you? And what do
- 14:15Speaker 5: you think the job is for Jerry? The job?
- 14:18Speaker 9: You know, you have to get this team the way
- 14:23Speaker 9: it's constructed, the way there. You have a top ten
- 14:27Speaker 9: quarterback to receive it. You should have get into a
- 14:29Speaker 9: minimum second round at a playoffs every year unless there's
- 14:32Speaker 9: major injuries like this year. But this team is built
- 14:39Speaker 9: to win now and getting knocked out in the first
- 14:44Speaker 9: round consistently is not getting the job done. Five years
- 14:49Speaker 9: is long enough. And now whoever's going to take this
- 14:52Speaker 9: team over as another five years? Dak is on the contract,
- 14:57Speaker 9: CDs on the contract, Mike will be on the contract.
- 15:00Speaker 9: His team has a lot of great pieces. It just
- 15:04Speaker 9: needs a little tweaking. That's why I would like to
- 15:07Speaker 9: see them keep Rock Hoffman in and let Zach Martin
- 15:11Speaker 9: sit the bench. As great as Zach Martin was, he's
- 15:15Speaker 9: not anymore. Just like Tyron Smith when he left. You
- 15:19Speaker 9: saw what happened in the Jets. He looks awful. Now
- 15:21Speaker 9: he's out. You have to look for the future. You
- 15:24Speaker 9: have a head start on next year by playing him
- 15:29Speaker 9: this year the rest of the games, and so far
- 15:32Speaker 9: he's outplayed Zach Martin. So roll with it because if
- 15:36Speaker 9: he shows that he's he's good enough, that's one position
- 15:39Speaker 9: now you don't have to fill with either free agency
- 15:42Speaker 9: or the draft. So to me, I'm sorry. Mike McCarthy
- 15:48Speaker 9: had his shot, and you know Mike pro Bowling Green
- 15:52Speaker 9: said something about what a running it. Well, that's he's
- 15:54Speaker 9: the play caller. He's he's not only the head coach,
- 15:57Speaker 9: he's the play caller. He wanted the job, he wanted
- 16:00Speaker 9: to take over to play calling, so now he owns everything.
- 16:05Speaker 9: So I just feel there's no way that Jerry Jones
- 16:09Speaker 9: could sell Mike McCarthy to the fan base. Uh, if
- 16:14Speaker 9: we win six gates, I think the Cincinnati game is
- 16:18Speaker 9: going to be very hard. I think Joe Burrow maybe
- 16:21Speaker 9: the second of their best quarterback in the league, and
- 16:24Speaker 9: we you could tell by the line. I think the
- 16:27Speaker 9: line six points, which is really nine because the home
- 16:30Speaker 9: field advantages usually works two points.
- 16:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a hard time thinking it would be
- 16:35Speaker 4: nine if they were playing up there.
- 16:37Speaker 9: So I just think I think the Cowboys are gonna
- 16:41Speaker 9: have a tough game because we don't beat good quarterbacks
- 16:45Speaker 9: and the Cooper rushed Joe Burrow. Think is that's why
- 16:48Speaker 9: the point spread is the way it is. You know,
- 16:51Speaker 9: it's it's it's like the Grand Canyon between those two.
- 16:55Speaker 4: But no, if they if they you know what else
- 16:57Speaker 4: is the Grand Canyon? Their offense and their defense. I
- 17:00Speaker 4: mean true, I mean that's what's going on. What's called
- 17:05Speaker 4: I get it, the offense. I mean, but but they're
- 17:08Speaker 4: they're they're giving up a lot of points too.
- 17:10Speaker 9: So I think I saw a stat the last three
- 17:13Speaker 9: games they scored ninety nine points in lost school free
- 17:18Speaker 9: So but that's the key. I think they'll score. Can
- 17:22Speaker 9: we score? Could we take advantage of that bad.
- 17:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I hope they do.
- 17:30Speaker 9: And like I said, I would love to cheep Mike
- 17:32Speaker 9: McCarthy because that means he's, like I said, he made
- 17:36Speaker 9: it to the playoffs, maybe won a game, and I
- 17:38Speaker 9: mean it was a miracle. But no, I don't see.
- 17:41Speaker 4: I mean to me, if he if if this team
- 17:44Speaker 4: wins out and goes ten and seven gets to the playoffs,
- 17:46Speaker 4: I mean no, no, he give him extension. I don't
- 17:50Speaker 4: care what happens to the playoffs. To me, you get
- 17:51Speaker 4: an extension because because think about it, and I know
- 17:55Speaker 4: it doesn't count. It sounds like Steph Wade Phillips used
- 17:57Speaker 4: to say, but if you get to and seven, that
- 18:01Speaker 4: means the last three or four games of the season
- 18:03Speaker 4: are playoff games and you're winning them because they're you know,
- 18:06Speaker 4: it's the do or die situation. So you know you
- 18:09Speaker 4: would get some credit. In my book, you'd get credit
- 18:12Speaker 4: for that.
- 18:12Speaker 9: But I get I give it out. I give it
- 18:14Speaker 9: if he, like I said, if he could make that
- 18:16Speaker 9: kind of run again quarterback, that.
- 18:20Speaker 5: Would be huge.
- 18:20Speaker 4: But yes, I think we all know that's probably not
- 18:23Speaker 4: gonna happen again. This team has a hard time getting
- 18:26Speaker 4: consistent for four quarters. I can't imagine a whole month.
- 18:29Speaker 5: But and you said it.
- 18:31Speaker 9: You said it beat as soon as you got on
- 18:33Speaker 9: the We have to be honest those Cowboys fans. The
- 18:36Speaker 9: teams we beat at some of the worst.
- 18:39Speaker 5: Quarterbacks in the league.
- 18:41Speaker 9: So until you show me you could beat a tough guy.
- 18:44Speaker 5: And this guy is easily there's no doubt.
- 18:47Speaker 9: He's either it's Mahomes and him and Alan or Mahomes
- 18:51Speaker 9: Alan and him.
- 18:52Speaker 5: Can't disagree, don't disagree that.
- 18:54Speaker 9: Let's see, let's see what happens. I mean, they got
- 18:58Speaker 9: they got a shot there rolling. Unfortunately, they got a
- 19:01Speaker 9: couple of bad injuries last week to the young guys
- 19:04Speaker 9: in the defensive fast, so I don't know how that's
- 19:07Speaker 9: going to shake out. But like you said, there's always
- 19:11Speaker 9: a chance.
- 19:12Speaker 4: All right, Rob, appreciate the call. Let's call a break

- 21:23Speaker 4: in Atlanta.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Ad. What's up? Man?
- 21:26Speaker 6: Hey, how y'all doing today?
- 21:28Speaker 5: Good?
- 21:28Speaker 12: How are you kN kaplain kN Kablain. I just want
- 21:31Speaker 12: to add to it. I agree that if he does
- 21:33Speaker 12: go ten.
- 21:34Speaker 6: And seven, we have to give him the extension.
- 21:36Speaker 12: I mean, we went through worse with the ten years
- 21:39Speaker 12: with Garrett, so I think we have to. But there's
- 21:42Speaker 12: a chance we might have to. He gets this extension
- 21:45Speaker 12: without the ten and seven. That's kind of what I
- 21:48Speaker 12: wanted to call about. But I feel like you guys
- 21:50Speaker 12: have brought it to the point where we really need
- 21:52Speaker 12: to just focus on the Bengals to if you win
- 21:55Speaker 12: this game, I think it really will propel us in
- 21:58Speaker 12: a different direction. But a lot of people believe we're
- 22:01Speaker 12: going to lose this game. So that's really what I
- 22:04Speaker 12: wanted to share. Y'all have a blessed, beautiful prey, and
- 22:07Speaker 12: let's see how we do with this pivotal game of
- 22:09Speaker 12: the season.
- 22:10Speaker 5: All right, well, thank you so much, AD. I appreciate that,
- 22:12Speaker 5: appreciate the call.
- 22:14Speaker 4: I always feel a little bad when they hold longer
- 22:16Speaker 4: than the actually actual call, So thank you for doing that.
- 22:21Speaker 4: And I do we talk about all the time, getting in,
- 22:23Speaker 4: getting out, let others get in. But I appreciate AD,
- 22:26Speaker 4: appreciate the call, and you know you're right, so right,
- 22:30Speaker 4: we're getting ahead of ourselves because that's what people do.
- 22:33Speaker 4: You know, they were always talking about you know, next year,
- 22:38Speaker 4: the playoffs or the draft or whatever, so.
- 22:42Speaker 5: It's this game.
- 22:43Speaker 4: You know, this game will tell us a lot about
- 22:45Speaker 4: what's going to happen with this season. I think if
- 22:48Speaker 4: the Cowboys figure out a way to beat the Bengals,
- 22:50Speaker 4: which is going to be a challenge, of course. But
- 22:54Speaker 4: if they beat the Bengals, then then I think you
- 22:56Speaker 4: can say, all right, well what's happening here? Because it's
- 23:00Speaker 4: Carolina next on the road, then it's the Bucks. These
- 23:04Speaker 4: are games that that you would think that they could win,
- 23:06Speaker 4: especially if you go beat the Bengals. You know, they
- 23:09Speaker 4: continue to get guys back healthy, as long as you
- 23:13Speaker 4: don't lose guys as well. I mentioned earlier in the show,
- 23:17Speaker 4: some players coming back. I think Jake Ferguson's actually in
- 23:20Speaker 4: that list too. Even those schoonmakers playing really well too.
- 23:23Speaker 4: I mean that that's something that's been really positive here
- 23:26Speaker 4: is you're getting your draft class from last year is
- 23:30Speaker 4: all of a sudden starting to look pretty pretty decent,
- 23:35Speaker 4: if not good, I mean well, because Overshown looks really good.
- 23:39Speaker 4: Overshown in third round looks like a great draft pick.
- 23:43Speaker 4: And you had to you know, you lost him for
- 23:45Speaker 4: his rookie season, so this is still his first year
- 23:48Speaker 4: and from what we're seeing, and he just looks so dynamic.
- 23:51Speaker 4: What an awesome player. Uh, he looks like he's going
- 23:54Speaker 4: to be because he's already really really great and then
- 23:59Speaker 4: I think Schoonmakers coming on strong. I think the injury
- 24:02Speaker 4: to Ferguson opened the door for him to kind of
- 24:04Speaker 4: be a starter. And he's he's doing a nice job.
- 24:07Speaker 4: He's catching the ball again. He's he's never going to
- 24:09Speaker 4: be that guy. I don't think that's gonna get ten
- 24:11Speaker 4: catches for one hundred and twenty yards or you know,
- 24:13Speaker 4: like a Kelsey or Kittle type game. I don't think
- 24:15Speaker 4: that's him, but I think it's you Knows as a
- 24:18Speaker 4: solid number two. With with Ferguson, I think they can
- 24:21Speaker 4: be a really good combination. And then and then of
- 24:23Speaker 4: course Massei Smith, I think is playing really well too.
- 24:26Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Austin. He's in Fort Myers, Florida. Austin, Hey, Nick,
- 24:35Speaker 4: are you good man? Who else is from.
- 24:38Speaker 5: Fort Myers, Florida?
- 24:41Speaker 4: Like all the time, like the most famous cowboy from
- 24:44Speaker 4: Fort Myers, Florida?
- 24:46Speaker 5: Is there one? Oh man?
- 24:48Speaker 6: You are?
- 24:49Speaker 1: You are killing you right now because I have not
- 24:51Speaker 1: lived here for very long, not familiar with the Fort
- 24:53Speaker 1: Myers Lord.
- 24:54Speaker 4: That's okay, that's okay. There there's a there's a guy
- 24:57Speaker 4: that he coaches Colorado and he played it. He played
- 25:00Speaker 4: with a corner for the Cowboys names Deon Sanders. He
- 25:03Speaker 4: was kind of from forty Florida, but that's okay if
- 25:05Speaker 4: you're not, if you're not from there your whole life,
- 25:07Speaker 4: you wouldn't maybe not know that.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I am actually learning for the first time that he's
- 25:12Speaker 1: from Fort Myers right this second. I knew.
- 25:14Speaker 9: I knew he was from South Florida, but for some reason, when.
- 25:17Speaker 1: People say South Florida, I always assume the other side
- 25:19Speaker 1: of the state.
- 25:19Speaker 5: So all good, all good.
- 25:21Speaker 4: I thought you might know that that's good Deon Sanders,
- 25:24Speaker 4: Fort Myers, Florida. Uh, anyways, what's up man?
- 25:28Speaker 5: How are you?
- 25:29Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 25:29Speaker 1: I know you were talking about folks getting in getting out,
- 25:32Speaker 1: but I and I don't want to go on along soliloquy,
- 25:34Speaker 1: but I do want to start by saying I appreciate
- 25:37Speaker 1: you guys, appreciate you, appreciate Chris and of course Derek
- 25:39Speaker 1: for kind of you know, setting all this up. Sure,
- 25:43Speaker 1: I've been listening to you guys since the days of
- 25:46Speaker 1: the Lunch Break You, Derek, Dia Wall, then Josh Ellis
- 25:51Speaker 1: you know, way back when I was speaking out of
- 25:52Speaker 1: college flash to give you guys a call and then
- 25:56Speaker 1: downloading the files on my computer so I could listen.
- 25:58Speaker 5: To them nice way back when. So appreciate Is this
- 26:03Speaker 5: your first call here on this show?
- 26:06Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, yeah, this was my first call on this show.
- 26:09Speaker 13: Chris.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Yeah, you know this.
- 26:12Speaker 6: It's it.
- 26:13Speaker 1: What you guys do is pretty incredible and I appreciate it.
- 26:15Speaker 1: And I know it's probably grueling, especially in the season,
- 26:19Speaker 1: but it really gives us. Especially at the time I
- 26:21Speaker 1: started listening to you guys, I was going through a
- 26:24Speaker 1: challenging time my mom was diagnosed with cancer and really
- 26:27Speaker 1: gave me an outlet to be able to, you know,
- 26:29Speaker 1: focus on some other stuff, something that felt's a little
- 26:32Speaker 1: less important, a little more fun. So I appreciate what
- 26:34Speaker 1: you guys do.
- 26:34Speaker 5: Wow, appreciate you as well.
- 26:38Speaker 1: But but having said that, I do want to get
- 26:42Speaker 1: your thoughts because I know a theme of this show
- 26:44Speaker 1: for this season has been telling fans how to fan,
- 26:47Speaker 1: and I do want to say last year, I had
- 26:51Speaker 1: a moment during Thanksgiving and it reminded me this Thanksgiving.
- 26:54Speaker 1: That's why I called in. Last year. You know, Thanksgiving
- 26:57Speaker 1: game was incredible, backless and I think four touchdowns and
- 27:00Speaker 1: Bland set the pick six record, and I was having
- 27:04Speaker 1: an absolute blast watching that game. There's nothing more fun
- 27:07Speaker 1: than sitting on Thanksgiving watching the Cowboys win and win
- 27:09Speaker 1: like that, with so many fun things going on on
- 27:11Speaker 1: the team. And I was looking around in my family,
- 27:14Speaker 1: and everybody in my family was pretty muted, and I
- 27:18Speaker 1: was like, what's going on? Are you guys not enjoying this?
- 27:20Speaker 1: And they said, well, let's see what they do in
- 27:21Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're just going to break their hearts again
- 27:24Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And in that moment, I was like, man,
- 27:27Speaker 1: this is fun.
- 27:29Speaker 10: Just enjoy it.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Just enjoy the week to week. Who cares, we'll get
- 27:31Speaker 1: there when we get there, have fun, enjoy it, and
- 27:34Speaker 1: I'll be honest. This season, I feel pretty vindicated with
- 27:36Speaker 1: that mentality, because week to weeks it has been, you know,
- 27:41Speaker 1: for parts of the season, not very fun. And you know,
- 27:44Speaker 1: there's no point in looking ahead when you can't enjoy
- 27:47Speaker 1: it week to week. And so I, you know, last
- 27:50Speaker 1: week and then of course are over Thanksgiving. Just having
- 27:53Speaker 1: fun week to week, kind of taking each week as
- 27:55Speaker 1: it comes and just enjoying the moment, to me is
- 27:57Speaker 1: a you know, life's too short, it's too much to
- 28:01Speaker 1: be disappointed by an entire eighteen week process or really
- 28:04Speaker 1: year round process, listening these days and then you know,
- 28:07Speaker 1: off season everything else, and then getting to one game
- 28:09Speaker 1: in the playoffs and being like.
- 28:10Speaker 5: Well the whole thing didn't matter right right now?
- 28:14Speaker 1: I either way, Yeah, I just wanted to say that.
- 28:19Speaker 14: And then you know, I know we're.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Talking now playoffs, push and everything else if possible. But
- 28:24Speaker 1: to me, you know, last year the Cowboys went on
- 28:27Speaker 1: their run. I might be the only person outside of
- 28:29Speaker 1: Isaiah Standback that you know that's also a University of
- 28:32Speaker 1: Washington Huskies fan as well as a Cowboys fan, and
- 28:36Speaker 1: they were making their run last year to the championship game.
- 28:39Speaker 1: And let me tell you, this week has been wildly different.
- 28:41Speaker 1: I mean this year, excuse me, it's been wildly different.
- 28:44Speaker 1: And you know, you look back and it's like, well,
- 28:46Speaker 1: both seasons didn't really end exactly how I wanted them
- 28:49Speaker 1: to end, but the week's week was so much fun
- 28:52Speaker 1: that life is too short for me to just be
- 28:55Speaker 1: looking forward to the playoffs, looking forward to the draft,
- 28:57Speaker 1: looking forward to next year and year after that, and
- 28:59Speaker 1: all that week to week, you know, beating up on
- 29:02Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving There's nothing better than that. So anyway, that's
- 29:06Speaker 1: all I say, I know, it's not a question, but
- 29:08Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
- 29:09Speaker 4: All right, Austin, Well, we appreciate you. Thank you for
- 29:12Speaker 4: the call and and and the perspective. There a Washington
- 29:17Speaker 4: Husky fan and Fort Myers, Florida. I mean, I don't
- 29:19Speaker 4: think you can. You can get further away from your team,
- 29:22Speaker 4: but uh that's what's what's great about today's world. You
- 29:25Speaker 4: can watch every game and keep up with them on
- 29:28Speaker 4: the internet, just like you guys do here with with
- 29:30Speaker 4: this show as well. All right, let's thanks for the call, Austin.
- 29:34Speaker 4: I think he was first time caller. Uh, so we
- 29:36Speaker 4: appreciate that.
- 29:38Speaker 3: There we go.
- 29:40Speaker 5: All right, let's go to Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma. Lewis,
- 29:44Speaker 5: what's going on? I mean I've been able to talk
- 29:46Speaker 5: and listen man, been a while. Yeah, I've been been
- 29:50Speaker 5: a little bit glad to have you back. What's going
- 29:52Speaker 5: on now?
- 29:54Speaker 8: Bud Man trying to beat his cold weather? That's what
- 29:56Speaker 8: I'm trying to do.
- 29:58Speaker 5: All right, Well, it's an Oklahom. It can't it can't
- 30:01Speaker 5: be that bad.
- 30:03Speaker 14: Yes, it is is?
- 30:05Speaker 5: Okay, Well I saw, yeah, I saw the Buffalo game.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Is it Buffalo? Is it Buffalo? In San Francisco?
- 30:10Speaker 7: Is that what it is?
- 30:12Speaker 8: You know what you win? You win because it ain't Buffalo.
- 30:15Speaker 5: I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
- 30:17Speaker 4: I know Oklahoma actually borders Missouri, and I did see
- 30:20Speaker 4: the Missouri game this week, uh, and it was definitely
- 30:25Speaker 4: a lot of snow there. So it's probably not better
- 30:27Speaker 4: than think we're not talking weather, Lewis. What's what's going on?
- 30:30Speaker 7: Man?
- 30:31Speaker 8: Not much, man, I've been meaning to get in here,
- 30:33Speaker 8: but like I said, what's the new job. I've been
- 30:35Speaker 8: trying to call, but just been busy but kind of
- 30:39Speaker 8: been riding the roller coaster with the team of HIGs
- 30:42Speaker 8: and Malow's. And I was trying to get in before
- 30:45Speaker 8: Thanksgiving to give thanks to all you guys because y'all
- 30:47Speaker 8: keep a day going, keep a week going, listening to
- 30:50Speaker 8: you guys and analyzing football and stuff like that.
- 30:53Speaker 12: So I appreciate y'all.
- 30:55Speaker 8: And really I just wanted to come and give up.
- 30:57Speaker 8: Like every since I've been calling, Sister Summer, I've been
- 31:00Speaker 8: calling trying.
- 31:01Speaker 9: To get see what the big boys up front gonna do.
- 31:03Speaker 8: And I wanted to give a, you know, a big
- 31:06Speaker 8: shout out to Mazie and Limball and them. They've been
- 31:09Speaker 8: playing a lot better, Yeah, which is definitely freed up
- 31:12Speaker 8: the linebackers. And and I know a lot of it
- 31:14Speaker 8: has to do with Michael Parson's being on the field
- 31:16Speaker 8: because you have to you have to account for him
- 31:19Speaker 8: all the time. But I've been seeing Mazzie and Limbald
- 31:22Speaker 8: do a lot of push him making a lot of moves,
- 31:24Speaker 8: which helps him out a lot more. And and and
- 31:27Speaker 8: and this is not to take away from anybody else,
- 31:30Speaker 8: but just watching him grow. And I'm not saying he's
- 31:33Speaker 8: gonna be the greatest world beater in the world, but
- 31:35Speaker 8: from where he started to where he's at now, I
- 31:37Speaker 8: wanted to give him a little bit of praise. And
- 31:39Speaker 8: so that's all I really wanted to go with that today.
- 31:41Speaker 5: Okay, well, I appreciate it, Thank you Lewis for the call.
- 31:45Speaker 5: You're you're right.
- 31:46Speaker 4: I mean, Lozzie Smith is playing better and and I
- 31:49Speaker 4: understand he had a long ways to go to to,
- 31:52Speaker 4: you know, because the bar was pretty low there early on.
- 31:55Speaker 4: But he's he's playing with some attitude. Uh, he's playing
- 31:59Speaker 4: with some confident and I think that that that helps everybody.
- 32:02Speaker 4: And I mentioned him when Schoonmaker together, they're always going
- 32:05Speaker 4: to be linked together. The first two picks of that
- 32:07Speaker 4: draft both from Michigan, so they're going to be linked together.
- 32:10Speaker 4: And they both didn't have great rookie seasons. So what
- 32:13Speaker 4: we're seeing out of this second year for both of them,
- 32:15Speaker 4: and I think confidence is the key. The door was
- 32:17Speaker 4: open with with them, whether it be an injury or
- 32:20Speaker 4: just just an opportunity to start, and they're taking advantage
- 32:24Speaker 4: of it. And you know, unlike unlike most skill positions,
- 32:29Speaker 4: Mazzi's just never going to have a lot of stats.
- 32:32Speaker 5: You got to you got to know the game.

- 34:32Speaker 14: love to catch up, man.
- 34:33Speaker 5: And that's awesome.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Celebrate some good times.
- 34:35Speaker 10: We'll do it.
- 34:36Speaker 2: I'm on Twitter, man, I'm I'm active in the storyline
- 34:40Speaker 2: space Zacha a d Zach zach a d okay quick review.
- 34:47Speaker 14: I said, I think Michael was going to have a
- 34:50Speaker 14: breakout game, not breakout game, but you know, Mike is
- 34:52Speaker 14: going to be Michael on Thanksgiving right right right?
- 34:54Speaker 7: He was?
- 34:55Speaker 14: But over shown that's my guy, over shown us a devil.
- 35:00Speaker 5: He's crazy.
- 35:03Speaker 14: Yeah, probably one of the top three players of the year.
- 35:05Speaker 14: After the turping kickoff return. That was just awesome, man.
- 35:13Speaker 9: And then exactly yeah, yeah, no doubt.
- 35:19Speaker 14: Okay, So a few weeks ago, you were playing the
- 35:22Speaker 14: game if you could guarantee a win against anyone. I
- 35:26Speaker 14: kind of misunderstood that. I thought you were saying, like, hey,
- 35:29Speaker 14: just look at the schedule. Look at our talent. Who
- 35:32Speaker 14: are we gonna beat?
- 35:33Speaker 5: Yeah? No, if you can down anyone, yeah, I mean, hey.
- 35:39Speaker 14: It's Philly ten out of ten times.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Always at the Bengals.
- 35:42Speaker 14: Though I said the Bengals because I was misinterpreting the game.
- 35:46Speaker 14: But you know what, Nick, if if we beat the
- 35:49Speaker 14: Bengals this week, I'm I'm drinking from the same kool
- 35:52Speaker 14: aid that Anthony and Michael and h Randy all those guys.
- 35:58Speaker 4: And yeah, careful with Randy and uh Anthony. Man, I
- 36:03Speaker 4: don't know what they're drinking all the time.
- 36:05Speaker 14: But hey, but for me, if we beat the Tangles,
- 36:08Speaker 14: so maybe I mean, I'm trying to have fun, you
- 36:11Speaker 14: know what I'm saying, Like, I want to see the
- 36:13Speaker 14: team win. Are we going to be a threat in
- 36:15Speaker 14: the playoffs? No, But you know we we wait off
- 36:19Speaker 14: all year.
- 36:20Speaker 9: For the games.
- 36:21Speaker 14: Let's win the games. That's that's the old I'll say.
- 36:24Speaker 4: This, I'll say this, and again we're getting we were
- 36:27Speaker 4: like pull vaulting ahead of you know. But if if
- 36:31Speaker 4: this team somehow figures out a way to beat the
- 36:34Speaker 4: Bengles and beats you know, Carolina, Tampa Bay somehow beats
- 36:37Speaker 4: the Eagles and then Washington. You're gonna see those guys
- 36:40Speaker 4: on those on those pregame shows. They're gonna be like
- 36:42Speaker 4: nobody wants to face the Cowboys right now, you know,
- 36:45Speaker 4: so they would be a scary team going into it.
- 36:49Speaker 5: But you know that, let's beat the Bengals. We'll see what.
- 36:54Speaker 2: We'll get there when we get there.
- 36:56Speaker 14: And then my parting saw it. We're playing the Bengals
- 36:59Speaker 14: of course on night. Can you share about Terence Newman
- 37:04Speaker 14: and or Cheeto A woozier Cheeto just seemed like a guy.
- 37:09Speaker 14: He was always in the right place, but he never
- 37:12Speaker 14: made the play. Seemed like people were making highlight catches
- 37:15Speaker 14: on him all the time. And then Terrence Newman, of course,
- 37:18Speaker 14: he was just fantastic for us and bounced around and
- 37:22Speaker 14: played for the Bengals as well. So have a good
- 37:25Speaker 14: one man, take care.
- 37:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm the way to mention Roy Williams. He played
- 37:30Speaker 4: for the Bengals as well. Cheetoh Woozier Man. I I
- 37:33Speaker 4: don't have a ton of stories on him, you know.
- 37:37Speaker 5: I'm uh.
- 37:38Speaker 4: I remember, like five years into it or four years
- 37:41Speaker 4: into it, he finally told us one day at this
- 37:43Speaker 4: in the locker room that that's not my name, but
- 37:45Speaker 4: that's not how you say. It was like cheeto, a
- 37:47Speaker 4: woozy a and it's like it's just a woose, like
- 37:50Speaker 4: oh okay, it was like it's seriously.
- 37:52Speaker 5: Like his fourth year.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Yeah, he was solid, solid player, you know, not not
- 37:58Speaker 4: didn't live up to the to the draft stats. Wasn't
- 38:00Speaker 4: as good as Jordan Lewis, who was picked in the
- 38:01Speaker 4: next round after him. Now, Terrence Newman, you know, really
- 38:07Speaker 4: really great athlete. And and I'll never forget when he
- 38:11Speaker 4: told me one time that he because a lot of
- 38:14Speaker 4: talk on Terrence was that he was an older player.
- 38:16Speaker 4: They drafted him at twenty five years old, I mean
- 38:18Speaker 4: twenty five rookie. Twenty five year old rookie. And I
- 38:21Speaker 4: remember him saying after his second year, okay, so I
- 38:24Speaker 4: was twenty five. Well, in ten years, i'll be thirty five,
- 38:26Speaker 4: and I'll be a better athlete than all of y'all.
- 38:29Speaker 5: True. And he was.
- 38:31Speaker 4: And he played fifteen years and we played nine for
- 38:33Speaker 4: the Cowboys, three for Minnesota, three for the Bengals.
- 38:36Speaker 3: Uh.
- 38:37Speaker 5: And what a great career.
- 38:39Speaker 4: And I know that that he's, you know, not just
- 38:42Speaker 4: a great player, he's a great friend to our guy,
- 38:44Speaker 4: Chris Bean I mean he was in his wedding. I
- 38:46Speaker 4: mean that they were really really good friends. And so
- 38:49Speaker 4: Terrence was that kind of guy, just just down to earth,
- 38:52Speaker 4: didn't care who you are, if you played, if you
- 38:55Speaker 4: didn't play, what you did. Just he was a you know,
- 38:57Speaker 4: people person, and so he's a really really good dude.
- 39:01Speaker 4: Hadn't seen him a whole lot here lately. I think
- 39:03Speaker 4: he lives way out maybe California, but I wish he
- 39:07Speaker 4: came around more.
- 39:08Speaker 7: He was.
- 39:08Speaker 5: He was a fun guy. All right, let's go to
- 39:11Speaker 5: Josh in Chicago.
- 39:13Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, how you doing?
- 39:14Speaker 5: What's up? Man?
- 39:15Speaker 12: Not too much?
- 39:16Speaker 7: Man?
- 39:16Speaker 13: Two days in a row. Three They call it a
- 39:18Speaker 13: streak at baseball, right, so maybe we'll get that this
- 39:20Speaker 13: weekend too.
- 39:20Speaker 5: Yeah, you get you're hot, hot streak going.
- 39:23Speaker 13: That's right. Hey, So I got two points I just
- 39:25Speaker 13: want to make really quick first one lesser. I think
- 39:28Speaker 13: yesterday was talking about Emmett, and I know everyone always
- 39:31Speaker 13: talks about the yards, right, total yards, But I think
- 39:34Speaker 13: what people forget too is he had he has like
- 39:36Speaker 13: twenty three NFL records, and some of those are just
- 39:39Speaker 13: like longevity of like most consecutive seasons with like one
- 39:43Speaker 13: thousand yards. But he also had that season with twenty
- 39:45Speaker 13: five touchdowns, which is just insane, especially nowadays with the
- 39:49Speaker 13: running back. So I think that that's something that ems
- 39:52Speaker 13: you get more love on in my opinion.
- 39:55Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I mean one hundred percent agree that
- 39:58Speaker 4: just he didn't get hurt. He didn't, he didn't get
- 40:00Speaker 4: hurt very very often. If he did, it wasn't that serious.
- 40:03Speaker 4: So he was able to play through it and you know,
- 40:05Speaker 4: give that team a level of consistency for for a
- 40:08Speaker 4: whole decade.
- 40:08Speaker 7: It was.
- 40:08Speaker 5: It was amazing.
- 40:10Speaker 13: Yeah, definitely tough. And then this weekend, you know, I
- 40:13Speaker 13: think Cincinnati is probably gonna be like the toughest test
- 40:15Speaker 13: they've had in a while, especially with that offense. And
- 40:18Speaker 13: I just I really hope we can get trade on
- 40:20Speaker 13: Diggs back. Finally see all three of these cornerbacks together
- 40:23Speaker 13: on the field and see what they can do against
- 40:25Speaker 13: a really high powered offense with some you know, good
- 40:27Speaker 13: receivers and a good quarterback.
- 40:29Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for the calls at oh, Josh, I'm my bad.
- 40:33Speaker 4: Thanks to the call, Josh, and I really appreciate the
- 40:37Speaker 4: insight there. You know, Yes, this is going to be
- 40:40Speaker 4: a really good time, you know, challenge for this defense,
- 40:44Speaker 4: and that's why it's good to have. You know, they're
- 40:46Speaker 4: they're they're playing well right now, and they they should
- 40:49Speaker 4: be rested. And I think what you're seeing out of
- 40:53Speaker 4: out of zimmer And and the blitzes and and and
- 40:57Speaker 4: the disguise, you know, this team's really kind of buying
- 40:59Speaker 4: into says some things.
- 41:00Speaker 5: And you're really seeing Mike and move around a lot.
- 41:03Speaker 4: And I think that that's been a key, uh to
- 41:05Speaker 4: those guys, kind of just figuring out where he's going
- 41:08Speaker 4: to be and and where to line up. And the
- 41:10Speaker 4: other guys are are hitting home as well. Chauncey Golston,
- 41:13Speaker 4: I think is playing really well.
- 41:15Speaker 13: For his role.
- 41:15Speaker 4: Let's go one more caller here, Robbie and Kocobe's Florida. Robbie,
- 41:18Speaker 4: what's up?
- 41:19Speaker 7: What's up? Nick?
- 41:20Speaker 16: I know I gotta be quick, so I'll try to
- 41:21Speaker 16: be fast. I'm not drinking the kool aid yet, but man,
- 41:25Speaker 16: I sure like.
- 41:25Speaker 5: You, but you but you're poor in a glass though, right?
- 41:29Speaker 5: You got the glass out?
- 41:31Speaker 16: No, I didn't say that yet either, my friends, but
- 41:34Speaker 16: but i'd like to how about that. I'm thinking about it.
- 41:36Speaker 4: I mean, we all drink the kool aid here like
- 41:39Speaker 4: that's that's the thing, like you know, it's all it's
- 41:42Speaker 4: always stocked here, you know, with with the That's that's
- 41:46Speaker 4: what the show is.
- 41:47Speaker 5: That's that's why you guys.
- 41:48Speaker 6: I'm going with it.
- 41:48Speaker 16: Then Yeah for me, a Glass, I want to agree
- 41:53Speaker 16: with the caller and disagree with Rob. I think McCarthy
- 41:56Speaker 16: should get another chance. I don't know what the fan
- 41:58Speaker 16: base thinks, and I think it shouldn't be our decision.
- 42:01Speaker 1: It should be the coaches and GM Jerry.
- 42:04Speaker 5: Oh, it will be. It won't be our decision. You're right,
- 42:08Speaker 5: But but I.
- 42:09Speaker 16: Hope he doesn't take our consideration to an effect going oh,
- 42:12Speaker 16: well they don't like him, or are they this well?
- 42:14Speaker 16: I hope he makes a business decisions, which I assume
- 42:17Speaker 16: he does.
- 42:17Speaker 4: Robbie would have fired him two years ago if that
- 42:19Speaker 4: was the case. If you if you're if you're listening
- 42:21Speaker 4: to every radio show host or every fan that gets
- 42:24Speaker 4: mad about the playoff loss, he would have fired him
- 42:25Speaker 4: a long time ago. So you know, he he's done that.
- 42:29Speaker 4: He's listened to the some of the loud fan base
- 42:32Speaker 4: in the past and and he's regretted it. He's regretted
- 42:35Speaker 4: firing Chan Gaily, he regretted firing Wade Phillips, So you know,
- 42:40Speaker 4: he's gonna it's gonna have to really, really be a
- 42:43Speaker 4: tough situation for him to move on. And and this
- 42:46Speaker 4: is the last year of his contract. Didn't have to
- 42:47Speaker 4: fire him at all, that's true.
- 42:50Speaker 16: I just I hope he retains him. I think McCarthy's
- 42:53Speaker 16: got the uh, the right, the right mentality. I think
- 42:56Speaker 16: continuity breeds winning football.
- 42:59Speaker 4: I agree with that, and also developing players, and we're
- 43:02Speaker 4: seeing we're seeing these guys develop, and you know, and
- 43:06Speaker 4: he's again, he's won a Super Bowl.
- 43:08Speaker 5: I mean, he's he's done that.
- 43:09Speaker 4: And if you think for a second that Aaron Rodgers
- 43:12Speaker 4: was the reason he won a super Bowl, then tell
- 43:14Speaker 4: me why nobody else has has figured out this Jedi
- 43:18Speaker 4: knight over there in Aaron Rodgers and how to win
- 43:20Speaker 4: a Super Bowl. I mean, no one else has done.
- 43:22Speaker 4: So I hate that narrative that it wasn't him, it
- 43:25Speaker 4: was Aaron Rodgers.
- 43:26Speaker 5: Well who else?
- 43:27Speaker 4: You know who else is? I mean, he's not winning
- 43:30Speaker 4: anywhere else. So anyways, all right, Robby, thank you for
- 43:34Speaker 4: the call. Good stuff, guys, appreciate it. Uh, it's been
- 43:36Speaker 4: another fun show. We'll be back tomorrow to do it again.
- 43:39Speaker 4: So for Chrispy, I'm Nick Eatman. See tomorrow Cowboys storyline.
- 43:43Speaker 3: This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and
- 43:46Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
