- 0:03Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and the
- 0:06Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Cowboys storyline brought
- 0:16Speaker 2: you by Gillette, the official razor of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Here's Nick Eatman, What is up?
- 0:27Speaker 1: Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette. I am Nick
- 0:31Speaker 1: Eatman at his game week Cowboys and Eagles finally squaring
- 0:37Speaker 1: off Thursday night, September fourth in Philly. This is the
- 0:41Speaker 1: first show of the week, is the last show before
- 0:44Speaker 1: that game, so we'll make sure and get all the
- 0:47Speaker 1: calls in, get your predictions in. You guys can sound off.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Some of you haven't called in since the Micah Parsons trade,
- 0:54Speaker 1: so we can still talk about that. But we are
- 0:57Speaker 1: definitely moving forward. I'm gonna talk cow Boys and Eagles,
- 1:01Speaker 1: Gonna try to get as many calls in as we can.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Have kind of a different format for you for this
- 1:07Speaker 1: day and usually you know, well, we'll try to talk
- 1:11Speaker 1: as much as we can about you know, all the
- 1:12Speaker 1: stuff you guys want. But hey, we're gonna keep it
- 1:15Speaker 1: quick in and out for this game and for this show.
- 1:18Speaker 1: All right, let's start it off here, Gary in New
- 1:21Speaker 1: Mexico's first Gary, what's up, hey?
- 1:23Speaker 3: Nick? Keeping it quick? This cowboy defense is gonna surprise people.
- 1:27Speaker 3: They've heard all the talk. They've heard they can't be
- 1:30Speaker 3: as good without Micah. I think they're going to be better.
- 1:33Speaker 3: I think Dallas goes out and shocks the world. Jerry
- 1:36Speaker 3: gets the last laugh. The defense plays much better than expected,
- 1:39Speaker 3: and we come out of this game one to zero.
- 1:41Speaker 1: All right, all right, what's gonna be the biggest thing
- 1:45Speaker 1: as far as that defense goes?
- 1:46Speaker 4: What are you?
- 1:47Speaker 1: What are you thinking as far as stopping filling.
- 1:50Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be better against the run. I
- 1:52Speaker 3: think Kenny Clark's going to make a difference, and I
- 1:54Speaker 3: think the pass rushers are going to surprise. I think
- 1:56Speaker 3: they're hearing all this talk. These guys are proud. These
- 1:59Speaker 3: guys are more cultivated. You can scheme a lot of stuff.
- 2:02Speaker 3: We don't really know what we're gonna see because they've
- 2:04Speaker 3: kind of been hiding stuff. I'm just I'm excited. I'm
- 2:07Speaker 3: excited about the coach, I'm excited about the defense, I'm
- 2:09Speaker 3: excited about I'm excited about everything. The fact that Mike
- 2:12Speaker 3: is gone has made me more excited. All right, So
- 2:15Speaker 3: we'll see all right, all.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Right, Gary, appreciate that good way to get us kicked off.
- 2:20Speaker 1: He's excited. I don't know if I'm the I mean,
- 2:23Speaker 1: I'm excited about football starting. I mean Micah Parsons, though,
- 2:28Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and be that
- 2:30Speaker 1: kind of guy that's like, oh, good, good riddings go
- 2:33Speaker 1: some people. Are some people in the building that had
- 2:35Speaker 1: to deal with him more or are that way? You know,
- 2:39Speaker 1: from my standpoint, I watched him play football. You guys
- 2:42Speaker 1: watched him play football, and that's what he was really
- 2:44Speaker 1: good at and great at that, and it was a
- 2:47Speaker 1: lot of fun. Didn't have to deal with some of
- 2:49Speaker 1: the other stuff, So my perspective is different than people
- 2:52Speaker 1: that did have to deal with them. But I still
- 2:56Speaker 1: wonder if it was to the point where, you know,
- 2:58Speaker 1: you couldn't get it done. There's a lot of factors
- 3:00Speaker 1: here and it's over now. The Cowboys have definitely moved on,
- 3:04Speaker 1: and like Gary said, I think that, you know, he's excited,
- 3:07Speaker 1: there's a lot of people here that are excited as well.
- 3:10Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going on. Irene and Falls Church,
- 3:12Speaker 1: Virginia is next.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Okay, So Micah, I had them at
- 3:17Speaker 5: nine at eight before the Mica trade. Now I went back.
- 3:21Speaker 5: I only could take away one game. I gave us
- 3:24Speaker 5: eight and nine, but it did make me feel shaky
- 3:26Speaker 5: on about three of the games. So we'll see how
- 3:28Speaker 5: it pans out. And I was curious if you think either.
- 3:32Speaker 6: The threat of filing the grievancepot negotiating the agent, or
- 3:36Speaker 6: this back injury fake or not fake was a factor.
- 3:39Speaker 6: And sadly I have thirty one twenty one Eagles, all right, bye.
- 3:42Speaker 1: All right, all right, yeah, I mean I think that
- 3:46Speaker 1: there's a lot everything was a factor here as far
- 3:49Speaker 1: as why it got done. And and yes, Jerry has
- 3:54Speaker 1: had a history of dealing with players directly. You know,
- 3:58Speaker 1: this one was different. Myka Micah was you know, he
- 4:02Speaker 1: not only did he throw a trade request out there,
- 4:05Speaker 1: but it was very lengthy. He's very detailed him and
- 4:08Speaker 1: how in what he said in his social post. And
- 4:13Speaker 1: you know, I think at the end of the day
- 4:16Speaker 1: it looked like, you know, they were taking great steps
- 4:20Speaker 1: to to to neither not play hold out. I mean
- 4:25Speaker 1: it was hold in until you start missing games unless
- 4:28Speaker 1: there's an injury involved. And you know, I saw some
- 4:30Speaker 1: clips of him practicing, you know, didn't seem like there
- 4:34Speaker 1: was a back injury. And in fact, let me just
- 4:38Speaker 1: say this, that's not the first time that a back
- 4:40Speaker 1: injury has been threatened and mentioned to not play football.
- 4:46Speaker 1: That's not the first time that that's happened. I'm talking
- 4:48Speaker 1: about with Micah parsons career. Not the first time he
- 4:52Speaker 1: mentioned it. I believe it was last year or two
- 4:54Speaker 1: years ago of that. I mean, it came out I
- 4:58Speaker 1: guess from sources that a back injury was possible if
- 5:03Speaker 1: he didn't get his way. So when we heard about
- 5:05Speaker 1: the back injury, it's not the first time that that's happened.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Either way. Let's uh, let's let's keep it going. We
- 5:10Speaker 1: got Casey Joe. He's in Kansas City. What's up.
- 5:13Speaker 7: Hey, how are you.
- 5:14Speaker 8: Doing, Nick?
- 5:14Speaker 1: How are you?
- 5:15Speaker 9: I'm doing good.
- 5:16Speaker 7: Hey.
- 5:16Speaker 9: First, I want to say thank you to Michael Parsons
- 5:19Speaker 9: for what he gave us during the time. A little
- 5:21Speaker 9: sad about him going, not happy about it, but hey,
- 5:24Speaker 9: you know, it is what it is. And but I
- 5:27Speaker 9: think our defensive ends I'm very excited about him. I
- 5:30Speaker 9: think they're going to do well. I'm happy with him
- 5:34Speaker 9: and our offense. Of course, you know, we got the
- 5:36Speaker 9: three wide receivers Pickings turping and you know out there,
- 5:41Speaker 9: you know, and.
- 5:41Speaker 7: So I think I think we're going to look good
- 5:43Speaker 7: this year.
- 5:44Speaker 10: Still predicted a lot of wins.
- 5:47Speaker 9: I'm just excited for the season.
- 5:49Speaker 3: I'm ready for Thursday, all right, And.
- 5:50Speaker 7: That's all I got.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Brother, Thanks appreciated that. You know, talking a little bit
- 5:55Speaker 1: with with Dak yesterday earlier this week in the locker.
- 5:59Speaker 1: But you know, Dak was saying just about how teams
- 6:02Speaker 1: are gonna have He's not sure how teams are going
- 6:04Speaker 1: to try to to play this offense, but you could
- 6:08Speaker 1: tell that he was excited about he hasn't had this
- 6:12Speaker 1: many weapons in a long long time. And when he did,
- 6:14Speaker 1: when they did have CD, CD wasn't at that level
- 6:18Speaker 1: that he's at now. But but still CD Amari. I
- 6:22Speaker 1: mean they they they had some some guys there, but
- 6:26Speaker 1: I don't think Dak said he didn't think his game
- 6:29Speaker 1: was is as good as it is now. So you know,
- 6:32Speaker 1: the last few years of the stuff that he's picked
- 6:34Speaker 1: up and and and now he's got the receiving help
- 6:37Speaker 1: and just he just he's excited about it. And he
- 6:40Speaker 1: was just excited about even being in third and long.
- 6:45Speaker 1: They they have the confidence they can pick that up.
- 6:47Speaker 1: They're not worried about it as much. So he's excited
- 6:50Speaker 1: about how shot he's gonna call the plays and call
- 6:52Speaker 1: the runs. So it's it seems to be a positive
- 6:56Speaker 1: atmosphere with offense, and I think that's what's going to
- 6:58Speaker 1: have to win some games. Has go out there and
- 7:00Speaker 1: just keep scoring points. Let's go to Sebastian and Savannah
- 7:04Speaker 1: and Georgia.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Good morning, sir, I'm doing well. I can tell from
- 7:07Speaker 4: the video here that you're doing well. I have a
- 7:09Speaker 4: fifteen second scott and report for the Eagles. While we
- 7:12Speaker 4: lost one player, the Eagles lost many players, including big Play,
- 7:16Speaker 4: Big Play Sleigh and Josh Sweat. So that line that
- 7:19Speaker 4: helped them get to that thirty four to zero lead
- 7:21Speaker 4: over Kansas City is pretty much gone. As you heard
- 7:24Speaker 4: from Dak Prescott, we got a real man and a
- 7:26Speaker 4: real leader in Ken Kenny Clark. I'm very excited to
- 7:28Speaker 4: see what they can do how we win this game.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Keep Jalen Hurch contained, he plays shotgun majority of the time.
- 7:34Speaker 4: Pressure him down the middle with Donovan Wilson, because I
- 7:37Speaker 4: think that that safety blitz is going to be a
- 7:38Speaker 4: big help in this game, but I don't believe we
- 7:41Speaker 4: get it. My honest prediction is thirty one to twenty
- 7:44Speaker 4: four Eagles. I think it's a very close game, but
- 7:46Speaker 4: our secondary needing the help that it needs, we can't
- 7:48Speaker 4: get it done. But guess what, we beat them in
- 7:49Speaker 4: the second and third game, which are more important. You
- 7:52Speaker 4: have a great day, and I'll hang up and listen.
- 7:53Speaker 1: All right, I like that second and third game. Yeah,
- 7:57Speaker 1: definitely caught that, all right. I mean you're right. Offense
- 7:59Speaker 1: is going to have to do their thing and but
- 8:02Speaker 1: the big question is this the defense, especially without Micah,
- 8:05Speaker 1: question is is how they get pass rush. We had
- 8:08Speaker 1: a mailback question earlier this week about you know, who
- 8:11Speaker 1: replaces the sack production twelve and a half sacks? You
- 8:14Speaker 1: can do that two or three here, three here, four here,
- 8:17Speaker 1: But it's the pressures for me, who replaces the pressures?
- 8:22Speaker 1: One guy that you can count on to go out
- 8:24Speaker 1: there and get pressures and get sacks. That's what you
- 8:27Speaker 1: don't have. And I think that that that can be
- 8:30Speaker 1: and now you can develop that, but right now that's
- 8:33Speaker 1: not what they have. And let's see if somebody emerges
- 8:36Speaker 1: as to be that guy. All right, let's take our
- 8:39Speaker 1: first break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back
- 8:42Speaker 1: after this.

- 10:15Speaker 2: The Cowboys storyline.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Back here on Cowboys Storyline where we get a chance
- 10:23Speaker 1: to listen to the fans. See what you guys have
- 10:25Speaker 1: to think, have to think about the Michael Parsons trade,
- 10:28Speaker 1: which you want to talk about the Cowboys Philly game.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Cowboys leave for Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon and game is
- 10:38Speaker 1: Thursday night, and you guys know that has been circled
- 10:41Speaker 1: for a while. September the fourth, the NFL kickoff as well.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Saw stat where the defending champions are twenty one and
- 10:48Speaker 1: four in the last twenty five years. Coming back and
- 10:52Speaker 1: defending the title, of course, the you know, the ring ceremony,
- 10:56Speaker 1: the banners, all that stuff. Twenty one and four. Now
- 10:59Speaker 1: they have lost two out of the last three. And
- 11:01Speaker 1: one of those other losses was by the Cowboys to
- 11:05Speaker 1: the Giants back in twenty twelve, so you know it's
- 11:07Speaker 1: happened before. But you know, tradition suggests that the defending
- 11:13Speaker 1: champs are still pretty good and they come out and
- 11:16Speaker 1: they take care of business. We'll see if that that
- 11:18Speaker 1: is the case on Thursday night. All right, let's go
- 11:21Speaker 1: to the phone lines. Lesser in Lakeville, Minnesota, Leicester, what's up?
- 11:27Speaker 8: Good morning?
- 11:27Speaker 1: Next are you?
- 11:30Speaker 8: I've been better man. I stood upset about the trade
- 11:33Speaker 8: and all, but I'm not gonna do my grievance this
- 11:37Speaker 8: morning because we're gonna be a positive. We've got a
- 11:40Speaker 8: game Thursday. Dak is four and one against Philadelphia when
- 11:45Speaker 8: he starts and finishes the games, so we're gonna look
- 11:48Speaker 8: at that. And as I always say, we need an
- 11:53Speaker 8: offensive and defensive line. We did it addition by subtraction,
- 11:57Speaker 8: but I don't understand that. But anyway, got a run stopper,
- 12:02Speaker 8: so we should be able to stop the run now,
- 12:06Speaker 8: and I predict the Cowboys win twenty one twenty No Cowboys,
- 12:11Speaker 8: all right, it's.
- 12:12Speaker 1: The first prediction of the Cowboys that we've had a
- 12:14Speaker 1: lot of pressure on. Kidding Clark, you know, I mean,
- 12:18Speaker 1: it's a really good player, but I mean I just
- 12:23Speaker 1: feel like the first time Sakuon Barkley goes up the
- 12:26Speaker 1: middle for fifteen yards or something, I mean, the whole
- 12:29Speaker 1: press box, everybody's got a joke, everybody on Twitter will
- 12:32Speaker 1: have that all stop the run. I mean, like he's
- 12:35Speaker 1: not He's not the savior when it comes to stopping
- 12:39Speaker 1: the run. I mean's he's been here a couple of days,
- 12:42Speaker 1: He's I think he's going to help. He's certainly going
- 12:44Speaker 1: to help over time, but you know, he's gonna have
- 12:47Speaker 1: to learn that the whole system, and they're gonna have
- 12:50Speaker 1: linebackers are gonna have to learn, you know, how they're
- 12:53Speaker 1: playing behind him and Osa and those guys working together.
- 12:56Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't think you're gonna see, you know,
- 12:59Speaker 1: Barkley's stat line of eight carries for twenty four yards.
- 13:02Speaker 1: You know, I mean, it's not going to be like that.
- 13:05Speaker 1: But you know, overall, they're going to have to do
- 13:07Speaker 1: their part and get provides and push up the middle,
- 13:10Speaker 1: and those pass rushers are going to have to do
- 13:11Speaker 1: their thing on the outside too. So yes, I think
- 13:16Speaker 1: he will definitely come in and help. He'll be better
- 13:19Speaker 1: than what we've seen from a tandem of defensive tackles.
- 13:23Speaker 1: But I just I don't think it's all all's going
- 13:26Speaker 1: to be fixed stop of the run just because getting
- 13:28Speaker 1: him in here. All right, Brian and Kansas City's next.
- 13:32Speaker 10: Good morning, sir, How are you. I'm doing good? Thank you? Hey.
- 13:36Speaker 10: I wanted to say my prayers are with Leroy Jordan's family.
- 13:40Speaker 10: You know you've had a career. When your college coach
- 13:43Speaker 10: was Bear Bryan did your professional coach was Tom Landry?
- 13:48Speaker 1: Yep?
- 13:49Speaker 10: I mean wow, really so yeah. The I also wanted
- 13:55Speaker 10: to say the Coach Joe documentary that you guys did, yeah,
- 14:01Speaker 10: I thought was extorted. At six decades to watching football documentaries,
- 14:05Speaker 10: that was as good as anything I've ever seen. Nick, congratulations,
- 14:08Speaker 10: really well done, brother.
- 14:10Speaker 1: I appreciate that I worked pretty close with a guy
- 14:13Speaker 1: to Thomas Blakey, he was outstanding. And Tony Avazano, Joe's son.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I consider him a friend. We went to college together,
- 14:21Speaker 1: which said it was shown in the documentary and it
- 14:25Speaker 1: was it was an honor to be able to tell
- 14:26Speaker 1: that story to him. So I appreciate you you watching
- 14:29Speaker 1: that and saying that, Thank you absolutely so.
- 14:33Speaker 10: For the game. Yeah, I'm going to go with you know,
- 14:36Speaker 10: statistics are there for a reason, and boy that we
- 14:41Speaker 10: are just not quite caught up to them, and they're
- 14:44Speaker 10: the defending champs until somebody knocks them off the mound.
- 14:46Speaker 10: I'm going to say thirty one to twenty Eagles, but
- 14:50Speaker 10: I think by October our team will gel and we
- 14:53Speaker 10: will be a different team the next time we face them.
- 14:56Speaker 14: Thanks Nick, all right, thank you?
- 14:58Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I haven't even thought about a score yet,
- 15:01Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't predict the cowboys of victory here,
- 15:04Speaker 1: And I mean, and I don't feel bad about that.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I mean, why why would we say that? Why what
- 15:11Speaker 1: have we seen to say that they've closed? The gap
- 15:14Speaker 1: was seventy five to thirteen and the two losses last
- 15:17Speaker 1: year combined. Dak didn't play in those games. But is
- 15:20Speaker 1: he that much different? Is he gonna be? Is he
- 15:23Speaker 1: gonna make up that much of a difference? Is Pickens
- 15:25Speaker 1: and this whole offense We don't know because we haven't
- 15:28Speaker 1: seen it, and that was by design. That's something that
- 15:31Speaker 1: Shady definitely wanted to do. They didn't want to show
- 15:33Speaker 1: anything at all with their star players or any kind
- 15:37Speaker 1: of wrinkles in the offense. So we haven't seen what
- 15:40Speaker 1: we're going to see. So that's fine, that's the way
- 15:43Speaker 1: we want it. But as it stands right now, what
- 15:45Speaker 1: we have to go off of is the Eagles won
- 15:48Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year. They were the best team
- 15:50Speaker 1: in football by the end of the year when it
- 15:51Speaker 1: counts the most, and they won it, and they're gonna
- 15:54Speaker 1: they're gonna get the rings to prove it. They've lost
- 15:57Speaker 1: some players, a lot of their key players though that
- 15:59Speaker 1: made them so good or still back and the Cowboys
- 16:02Speaker 1: have some new new faces as well, but they lost
- 16:04Speaker 1: their best player too. So nothing that we've seen really suggests, yeah,
- 16:08Speaker 1: they're going to go at now. Weird stuff happens. Well,
- 16:12Speaker 1: my man Brian brought Us always says football's a crazy lady.
- 16:15Speaker 1: She sure is, and maybe she's gonna be crazy on
- 16:18Speaker 1: Thursday night. But as it stands right now, what we
- 16:21Speaker 1: have to go off of them is that Cowboys have
- 16:23Speaker 1: to make up a lot of ground on Philadelphia, all right,
- 16:25Speaker 1: Robin Vegas. Okay, Nick, how are you doing?
- 16:31Speaker 15: I'm doing good? How are you?
- 16:32Speaker 2: Ah good?
- 16:32Speaker 16: Good?
- 16:34Speaker 17: Uh?
- 16:34Speaker 15: On the MiCT thing. Yes, As for entertainment purposes, I'm
- 16:39Speaker 15: gonna miss him. Like you said, he was fun to watch,
- 16:42Speaker 15: exciting as a Cowboys friend. You know, we weren't. We
- 16:47Speaker 15: weren't winning with him in the sense of getting, you know,
- 16:50Speaker 15: past the first round of playoffs. And I felt that
- 16:53Speaker 15: if they paid him, they still wouldn't be able to
- 16:56Speaker 15: win because he wouldn't build around him. Obviously. Now I
- 17:00Speaker 15: look at it like, maybe he'll take that money like
- 17:03Speaker 15: you just signed Bland, and he'll sign some more players, right,
- 17:06Speaker 15: maybe make some moves with these picks, and overall we
- 17:10Speaker 15: will be a better team. It's all on Jerry and Stephen.
- 17:13Speaker 15: Now I agree with you. I don't think we're gonna
- 17:15Speaker 15: be Philadelphia. I think it's a double digit loss. It's
- 17:20Speaker 15: hard to win there. But like you said, they're gonna
- 17:22Speaker 15: hang the ban at the place is gonna go crazy.
- 17:24Speaker 15: And I don't know what this cowboy teen is yet.
- 17:27Speaker 15: So I know Dak has a lot of success. I
- 17:30Speaker 15: think the outfits baby could do something. I'm just a
- 17:32Speaker 15: little leary on the defense, but I think Kenny Clark
- 17:35Speaker 15: is definitely gonna help. You know, if we're honest with Michael,
- 17:40Speaker 15: were always weak in the middle. Our strength is the
- 17:44Speaker 15: pass rusher. So go Donovan as a.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Rocut all right, all right, Rob, appreciate that. Thanks for
- 17:53Speaker 1: the call. You know, if you haven't, if you haven't
- 17:56Speaker 1: watched the show a lot, and we get some new
- 17:59Speaker 1: follow allowers, viewers, listeners. Robin Vegas is the he's the
- 18:05Speaker 1: captain of the all storyline team, which we've had for
- 18:08Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and and he one of
- 18:10Speaker 1: the captains. I apologize he's one one of the captains,
- 18:13Speaker 1: but he's the guy that I think a lot of
- 18:14Speaker 1: people want to hear from on any kind of move.
- 18:17Speaker 1: So the last show we did, he after the trade,
- 18:20Speaker 1: I don't believe he was able to call in. So
- 18:22Speaker 1: thanks for doing that calling in. Yeah, And you know
- 18:27Speaker 1: we mentioned it about what what the Eagles have and
- 18:29Speaker 1: what what the Cowboys have and the Thursday night the
- 18:33Speaker 1: smoke and the banners and the and all that, all
- 18:36Speaker 1: the fireworks. But Dak said something interesting earlier this week
- 18:39Speaker 1: when he said we have to go throw the first punch,
- 18:42Speaker 1: and and he says, you start with the jab.
- 18:44Speaker 7: You know.
- 18:45Speaker 1: He always you got to start jab jab and and
- 18:47Speaker 1: and keep swinging. He knows that it's got to be
- 18:49Speaker 1: more than just one punch. But I think that's very
- 18:52Speaker 1: important though. I mean it's it's a nice cliche thing
- 18:55Speaker 1: to say, but it's very important for him to go
- 18:58Speaker 1: out there and have that mindset and say we're gonna go,
- 19:01Speaker 1: We're gonna attack them. Let's attack them early and jump
- 19:04Speaker 1: on them. That'll help the confidence. That will also maybe
- 19:07Speaker 1: quiet the crowd a little bit and also show the
- 19:09Speaker 1: Eagles that, hey, last year's last year. This is this year.
- 19:12Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida. Robbie,
- 19:14Speaker 1: what's up?
- 19:15Speaker 10: What's up?
- 19:16Speaker 4: Nick?
- 19:16Speaker 16: How you doing today?
- 19:17Speaker 1: Good Man?
- 19:17Speaker 14: How are you?
- 19:18Speaker 1: What you got for me?
- 19:19Speaker 15: I'm great?
- 19:20Speaker 10: Hey, sold to keep it quick, so I'll definitely.
- 19:22Speaker 7: Run through it.
- 19:23Speaker 10: A shout out to Gillette for being our new sponsor.
- 19:26Speaker 15: Thank Gillette.
- 19:27Speaker 16: A shout out to Yetti for our beautiful cups from
- 19:29Speaker 16: last year.
- 19:29Speaker 7: I never so thank you for that.
- 19:31Speaker 15: And I'll ask you one question though, listen off the air.
- 19:34Speaker 15: What three things we have to do to beat the Eagles?
- 19:36Speaker 1: All right? Three things to beat the Eagles? First, thing
- 19:39Speaker 1: I think that they have to do is get off
- 19:42Speaker 1: to a good start. I said it a second ago,
- 19:44Speaker 1: and I definitely believe that they can't be playing from behind.
- 19:47Speaker 1: They can't be thinking all last year is last year.
- 19:49Speaker 1: You know, the same old Cowboys, new coach, same old stuff.
- 19:52Speaker 1: They need everybody. I think it's important to establish something
- 19:55Speaker 1: very early in the game. Then doesn't mean you have
- 19:58Speaker 1: to be up fourteen nothing, just means you have to
- 20:00Speaker 1: show them that you're here to play an early touchdown
- 20:03Speaker 1: and early defensive stop, sack, that kind of stuff. Second
- 20:06Speaker 1: thing I think that they have to do. I mean
- 20:09Speaker 1: this is basic, you know, cliche football, but you have
- 20:12Speaker 1: to establish a running game. You have to figure out
- 20:14Speaker 1: a way that you can be balanced here and show
- 20:16Speaker 1: That's the one thing we don't really know is how
- 20:18Speaker 1: they're going to run the football. That's a key thing
- 20:20Speaker 1: is showing that they could run it and then on
- 20:23Speaker 1: you know. The third thing they've got to do is
- 20:25Speaker 1: definitely stop it. I mean stop that run. Stop Barkley
- 20:28Speaker 1: and Hurt. Figure out a way to put them in
- 20:31Speaker 1: passing situations and then you know, we'll see who gets
- 20:34Speaker 1: off the edge. So getting off the field, I'll just
- 20:36Speaker 1: say getting off the field on third down. However you
- 20:38Speaker 1: do it, whether it means stopping a short run or
- 20:41Speaker 1: that means blitzing off the edge or getting there with four,
- 20:43Speaker 1: whatever it takes, there's gonna be third down situations you've
- 20:46Speaker 1: got to get off the field. And so if you
- 20:49Speaker 1: can put your offense up, you know, out there, keep
- 20:52Speaker 1: Philly at bay. I think that that's going to be
- 20:54Speaker 1: a huge, huge mark for the Cowboys. All right, let's
- 20:57Speaker 1: take another break here on Cowboys storyline, and we'll be
- 20:59Speaker 1: right back after this.

- 22:05Speaker 2: To Cowboys Storyline.
- 22:11Speaker 1: All right back here on Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette.
- 22:15Speaker 1: And if the show kind of looks like a little
- 22:17Speaker 1: different format, it's because it is just so y'all know,
- 22:20Speaker 1: this is why we've already take taken a couple of
- 22:22Speaker 1: breaks already. We we do it on Tuesdays. We have
- 22:26Speaker 1: a TV show that that is taped and it's played
- 22:29Speaker 1: on Fan Duel used to be Bally's and Fox Southwest
- 22:33Speaker 1: and all that. So, uh, you can you can see
- 22:36Speaker 1: that in the I guess a five state area in
- 22:39Speaker 1: different locations, but they play that on Wednesday, so we
- 22:43Speaker 1: tape it. We have to kind of do a few things.
- 22:44Speaker 1: That's why we have to get a few breaks in there,
- 22:47Speaker 1: and it'll be the first part of the show. So
- 22:49Speaker 1: if you call early in the show, you'll you'll you'll
- 22:51Speaker 1: make the TV show. This part it's just for you
- 22:55Speaker 1: guys on on the on the web and on the
- 22:58Speaker 1: on the app, and kind of like we always do.
- 23:00Speaker 1: But still I want to hear. I want to hear
- 23:02Speaker 1: from you guys. The show doesn't change. We got another
- 23:05Speaker 1: i'll say, twenty minutes or so with no break, So
- 23:08Speaker 1: let's get it rolling. Do we still have Chuck d
- 23:10Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 23:11Speaker 7: That's right?
- 23:12Speaker 1: How you doing, Bud Good?
- 23:14Speaker 17: Hey, I want to talk about the running game. Don't
- 23:17Speaker 17: really know much about Javonte. We didn't see much of him.
- 23:20Speaker 1: No, we didn't.
- 23:21Speaker 17: We can just look at past the film. It seems
- 23:24Speaker 17: like he's more of a bruiser. But I just want
- 23:27Speaker 17: to see how guard see against him. I know they
- 23:30Speaker 17: got some studs over there. We can get that rolling.
- 23:34Speaker 17: That can lead to so many other things, and I'm
- 23:36Speaker 17: just excited to see that.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited to see Javonte Williams. I think that
- 23:42Speaker 1: he's got more speed than I than I thought he
- 23:46Speaker 1: had for his size and in the in his running style,
- 23:49Speaker 1: and he is kind of a bruiser. But as it
- 23:53Speaker 1: stands right now, I think he's he does all of
- 23:56Speaker 1: the things, you know, probably it added all up. He's
- 24:00Speaker 1: better all the way around than anybody else that they
- 24:02Speaker 1: have at the moment. And we'll see if Jaydon Blue
- 24:05Speaker 1: can can take that that leap or how Miles Sanders plays.
- 24:09Speaker 1: But I think he's your best option on third and one,
- 24:12Speaker 1: Chavonte Williams. I think he's your best option on third
- 24:15Speaker 1: and nine as far as picking up blitz and then
- 24:18Speaker 1: also sneak out of the backfield catching the ball. He's
- 24:20Speaker 1: had fifty catches in a season with the Broncos, so
- 24:23Speaker 1: you know he's he's a threat out there as well.
- 24:26Speaker 1: And I just think he's your all around best back
- 24:28Speaker 1: as it stands right now. So we'll see, we'll see
- 24:31Speaker 1: what what he has Thursday night.
- 24:34Speaker 17: All right, thank you Nick.
- 24:35Speaker 1: All Right, Chuck, appreciate that. You know, the running running
- 24:39Speaker 1: game is just it's just a mystery, and it's one
- 24:43Speaker 1: where I don't know what Miles Sanders is going to
- 24:46Speaker 1: be able to do. And Jayden Blue as well. I mean,
- 24:48Speaker 1: I like the quickness that we saw just in a
- 24:50Speaker 1: few carries, but I definitely think he's he's a guy
- 24:54Speaker 1: that's going to get better and better. Want to see
- 24:57Speaker 1: him out there. I want to see him on this
- 24:59Speaker 1: stage on Thursday night, you know, with the world watching.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Want to see what happens when he runs right up
- 25:05Speaker 1: the middle there and there's you know, was a Zach
- 25:08Speaker 1: Bond a linebacker. Of course, he got the big boys,
- 25:11Speaker 1: Dalen Carter and Jordan Davis. I mean they they they
- 25:16Speaker 1: still have those guys in the center. But that's what
- 25:20Speaker 1: Jayden Blues got to do. I mean, he has he
- 25:22Speaker 1: can run to the outside. He's not gonna make a
- 25:24Speaker 1: living there in between the tackles, but he's but he
- 25:27Speaker 1: has to do it. I mean, as a running back,
- 25:28Speaker 1: you want to be a starting running back, You've got
- 25:30Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball and you know,
- 25:33Speaker 1: in between the tackles and and show what you can
- 25:35Speaker 1: do as as a you know, with the entire running game,
- 25:38Speaker 1: I mean, Miles Sanders, you know, Hunter Lipkey's gonna get
- 25:42Speaker 1: some some carries. I would imagine he's gonna play on
- 25:44Speaker 1: the field some you know, I thought, as we as
- 25:47Speaker 1: we wait to I don't think we have any more
- 25:49Speaker 1: phone calls right now, eight eight eight eight five five
- 25:52Speaker 1: to two nine seven lines are open. We still have about
- 25:54Speaker 1: twenty minutes of show. So definitely, if you get a
- 25:57Speaker 1: chance to call in, do so. But but I'll say
- 26:02Speaker 1: I'll say this about, you know, the the injuries. I'll
- 26:06Speaker 1: say this about the injuries. Yesterday, looking at the injury report,
- 26:10Speaker 1: it was it was good news for the Cowboys. I mean,
- 26:13Speaker 1: Tyler Guyton at left tackle has been practicing. He looks good.
- 26:18Speaker 1: He was in full participation. Trayvon Diggs was in full
- 26:21Speaker 1: participation and that that was a surprise to me that
- 26:23Speaker 1: he was able to do that. I think he's gonna play.
- 26:26Speaker 1: I don't think he's He may not start, but I
- 26:28Speaker 1: think he's gonna play enough. They don't have a lot
- 26:30Speaker 1: of options at corner. I think he's gonna be out there.
- 26:33Speaker 1: He may not play a ton that may he may
- 26:35Speaker 1: be on some kind of a pitch count, but I
- 26:37Speaker 1: do think he's going to be out there good to go.
- 26:39Speaker 1: That that was a good sign. Brevin span Ford tied
- 26:42Speaker 1: end also on the injury report, but but at full participation.
- 26:45Speaker 1: He hasn't done anything since early in camp, first padded practice.
- 26:48Speaker 1: He had a high ankle sprain. So for him to
- 26:50Speaker 1: come back that helps things. The only guy that did
- 26:52Speaker 1: not practice was perry On Winfrey, defensive tackle. He's missing,
- 26:58Speaker 1: he'll miss some time, and it may be it's tough
- 27:00Speaker 1: for him to get back and playing this game, especially
- 27:02Speaker 1: just a couple of days before kickoff. All right, let's
- 27:05Speaker 1: go to Rick. He's in Massachusetts. Rick, what's up, bud?
- 27:09Speaker 17: Hey doing?
- 27:09Speaker 8: Nick?
- 27:10Speaker 17: I was the weekend?
- 27:11Speaker 1: It's good? Pretty good? Ready, it didn't It didn't feel
- 27:14Speaker 1: like a weekend. It felt like a Wednesday and the
- 27:16Speaker 1: Thursday and all that. You know, that's what these weird
- 27:18Speaker 1: games do. They kind of mess up your schedule. You
- 27:20Speaker 1: never know what day it is. It doesn't feel Labor
- 27:22Speaker 1: Day and all that. It just it feels like a
- 27:24Speaker 1: Friday around here because we're leaving tomorrow.
- 27:26Speaker 7: You know that.
- 27:27Speaker 1: That's what it feels like, which is good though. Let's go,
- 27:29Speaker 1: let's do this thing.
- 27:30Speaker 9: Yeah, I would just say it.
- 27:33Speaker 15: In my heart, I think Cowboys.
- 27:35Speaker 10: Wins, but my brain says are gonna lose.
- 27:38Speaker 17: So I'm to take gagles like thirty one, twenty four
- 27:42Speaker 17: something like that.
- 27:43Speaker 15: So have a good day and talk to you later.
- 27:46Speaker 1: All right, thank you. Smell a theme here with you
- 27:50Speaker 1: with the fans that I think the Cowboys are going
- 27:54Speaker 1: to lose. We've seen it from Irene, Sebastian, Brian and Rick.
- 28:01Speaker 1: And the scores are Eagles thirty one, twenty one thirty
- 28:06Speaker 1: one twenty four thirty one to twenty thirty one twenty
- 28:09Speaker 1: four thirty one. Huh maybe and and and that that
- 28:15Speaker 1: seems about right. I think for this team to be
- 28:19Speaker 1: you know, if the Cowboys just be able to surprise anyone,
- 28:22Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get there. I mean that that's
- 28:24Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get to thirty or or you know,
- 28:26Speaker 1: in this case more than thirty one. But but there,
- 28:29Speaker 1: that's what's gonna take for this team. I think to
- 28:32Speaker 1: kind of open some eyes and surprise people and be like, oh, yeah,
- 28:35Speaker 1: they're better than I thought. It's this offense. The offense
- 28:38Speaker 1: has to be, you know, better than we're we're giving
- 28:41Speaker 1: it credit for. That offensive line is going to have
- 28:44Speaker 1: to hold up, has to hold up. And I think
- 28:47Speaker 1: the one thing that's going to be very interesting here,
- 28:50Speaker 1: and I'll say this as we still wait for some
- 28:52Speaker 1: more callers, but this is the cat and mouse game
- 28:55Speaker 1: that that that that the Cowboys are going to have
- 28:58Speaker 1: to play h to their advantage. Is so the Eagles
- 29:02Speaker 1: vic Vangeo. That defense is always he's always been really
- 29:05Speaker 1: good at attacking. We've seen it when he was with Denvers,
- 29:08Speaker 1: with Miami, with Philadelphia. I mean, he's always a really,
- 29:11Speaker 1: really good defensive mind. He's given this team some some fits.
- 29:14Speaker 1: But the cat and mouse part of that I'm talking
- 29:16Speaker 1: about is, Okay, so are you going to blitz? Okay,
- 29:21Speaker 1: do that blitz. They got to get the ball out quick.
- 29:23Speaker 1: They're gonna get the ball out quick. Guys like CD Pickings,
- 29:26Speaker 1: They're gonna have to make plays, catch the ball and
- 29:28Speaker 1: and make plays and and you know, basically break tackles
- 29:32Speaker 1: because you're gonna have to get the ball out quick.
- 29:34Speaker 1: So that being said, the Eagles secondary gonna gonna cheat in,
- 29:38Speaker 1: gonna play close to the line of scrimmage, is gonna
- 29:40Speaker 1: contest those those quick throws and make the tackles. Okay, great,
- 29:44Speaker 1: Now what happens when the Cowboys say, all right, we
- 29:47Speaker 1: are max max protecting, we are not letting you get home,
- 29:51Speaker 1: and the Eagles are playing right there at the line
- 29:54Speaker 1: of scrimmage, That is where I think that they're gonna
- 29:57Speaker 1: have to take advantage and go deep. We just haven't
- 30:01Speaker 1: seen it a lot in recent years. I think you're
- 30:03Speaker 1: gonna see it more this season. I think you're gonna
- 30:06Speaker 1: see it more Thursday Night. If I could say one
- 30:09Speaker 1: thing that Dak has done better than you know, any
- 30:13Speaker 1: other thing that I've seen in recent years, the one
- 30:16Speaker 1: improvement that I think I've seen the most this training
- 30:18Speaker 1: camp and is his deep ball.
- 30:22Speaker 8: Uh.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Not only is he connecting more, but it's in stride.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I think I've seen that at least ten to fifteen times,
- 30:30Speaker 1: and it's usually it's both of them. It's it's Pickings
- 30:34Speaker 1: and and CD. And I'm I'm, I mean, that doesn't
- 30:38Speaker 1: mean that the Cowboys secondary has been that great and
- 30:40Speaker 1: they've been beating guys that that aren't aren't the best.
- 30:43Speaker 1: But you know, there's still there's still gonna be CD
- 30:47Speaker 1: and Dak are still gonna be better at receivers than
- 30:50Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna have at corner. So they're still
- 30:52Speaker 1: gonna be able to beat those guys. And that's gonna
- 30:54Speaker 1: be a key element is can they throw it deep
- 30:58Speaker 1: when the Eagles are playing close to the line scrimmage
- 31:00Speaker 1: and making sure that you know, because Pickens is a
- 31:02Speaker 1: guy that on third and six, third and seven, he
- 31:05Speaker 1: can catch a one or two yard pass. If he
- 31:07Speaker 1: gets an angle, I mean that long stride of his
- 31:10Speaker 1: is gonna be ten yards right off the bat. So
- 31:12Speaker 1: he's a guy that you have to kind of get
- 31:14Speaker 1: in his face, and by doing that, good luck because
- 31:16Speaker 1: if you miss on the jam and he gets to
- 31:19Speaker 1: the outside, He's got a step or two on you.
- 31:21Speaker 1: He's a big play, big catch, radious guy. And I
- 31:25Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the the kind of the back
- 31:27Speaker 1: and forth, a little bit of the are they eagles
- 31:29Speaker 1: gonna jam? Are they going to have guys over the top?
- 31:32Speaker 1: And then with all of that, what does the middle
- 31:34Speaker 1: look like? Is Ferguson is turping Tobert? Are those guys
- 31:38Speaker 1: going to be able to work it there in between?
- 31:40Speaker 1: All Right, we've got a couple more callers here, case
- 31:42Speaker 1: in Los Angeles? What's up?
- 31:45Speaker 14: An happy kickoff week? Trying to get stoked, need to
- 31:50Speaker 14: move past the Micah feel, you know, just to feel
- 31:54Speaker 14: better about it and kind of totally leave it behind.
- 31:57Speaker 14: I feel like we could have gotten a little bit more, maybe,
- 32:00Speaker 14: but everybody's been talking about the culture of this team,
- 32:04Speaker 14: and not to blame all that on my cup, but
- 32:06Speaker 14: if that was the cause of not having the culture
- 32:08Speaker 14: that everybody wanted. This is a cohesive move and I
- 32:12Speaker 14: think collectively with the new start, with Shoddy and doing
- 32:16Speaker 14: what they want to do, hopefully they can move forward
- 32:19Speaker 14: and have everybody on the same page. That being said,
- 32:23Speaker 14: it's going to take a while to make up for
- 32:26Speaker 14: the loss of him, but stopping to run has obviously
- 32:30Speaker 14: been a huge issue with this squad, and if this
- 32:33Speaker 14: moves us towards that, I really know what's going on
- 32:36Speaker 14: on offense, I think it's going to take some people
- 32:39Speaker 14: by surprise. And just to add on what you were
- 32:41Speaker 14: talking about, Pickings, if this dude gets in the right
- 32:44Speaker 14: mind frame, he can be one of the top receivers
- 32:48Speaker 14: in the NFL. So I'm actually super stoked to see
- 32:51Speaker 14: what these guys do on Thursday, and now having a
- 32:55Speaker 14: bigger chip on the shoulder, How great would it be
- 32:57Speaker 14: to see these guys take the Eagles down in front
- 32:59Speaker 14: of every buddy?
- 33:01Speaker 1: Yep, all right, I appreciate it. Casey, You're right, you know,
- 33:06Speaker 1: talking about Pickens, you know he he looks and I
- 33:12Speaker 1: don't know because I didn't, I didn't we obviously didn't
- 33:14Speaker 1: know him when he was at Pittsburgh, and just kind
- 33:16Speaker 1: of the stuff that you hear about and and and read,
- 33:19Speaker 1: and you know it's it's everybody's different, you know, when
- 33:22Speaker 1: when when they get to a new team, and that's
- 33:24Speaker 1: the same. Like I know, there are people in Green
- 33:27Speaker 1: Bay that are covering you know, Micah Parsons and fans
- 33:31Speaker 1: that are watching him, and they paint the picture of
- 33:33Speaker 1: this guy, this this diva that you know, cowboy, even
- 33:35Speaker 1: the Cowboys of all teams, Jerry couldn't keep him. I mean,
- 33:39Speaker 1: this guy must be he must be crazy. So then
- 33:41Speaker 1: they watch him and they's you know, it's like, oh,
- 33:44Speaker 1: he seems like a good guy. Well yeah, I mean,
- 33:46Speaker 1: of course the same with Pickens, same thing. You know,
- 33:48Speaker 1: it's like, wow, I wonder what happened in Pittsburgh this guy,
- 33:51Speaker 1: you know, he does seem more mature. He seems like
- 33:54Speaker 1: he's in a better place. And sometimes that happened. You
- 33:57Speaker 1: just that's what you need. So Pickings specifically, I think
- 34:03Speaker 1: that he is just happy to play to play football
- 34:07Speaker 1: here with the Cowboys and in this offense, this pass
- 34:10Speaker 1: happy offense. He's just happy about it. Pittsburgh just wasn't
- 34:14Speaker 1: the style as far as the ground and pound and
- 34:16Speaker 1: also the defense mentality. This is a little bit more
- 34:19Speaker 1: wide open, and I think that, you know, he's just
- 34:22Speaker 1: excited to be here. Now. The question I always have is,
- 34:25Speaker 1: and this isn't just with Pickens, It's not even with CD.
- 34:28Speaker 1: We've seen CD have some tantrums on the sideline. They
- 34:32Speaker 1: We've seen guys that wore eighty eight that had tantrums
- 34:35Speaker 1: on the sideline. It's gone on forever. And the reasoning
- 34:40Speaker 1: is is they think that they need the football to
- 34:42Speaker 1: win and they're not getting it. And a lot of
- 34:45Speaker 1: times a good way to shut that up is to
- 34:47Speaker 1: give them the football because they're not wrong, so to
- 34:51Speaker 1: have you know, CD wants the ball, Pickens wants the ball.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Let's see what happens if the Cowboys don't win a
- 34:57Speaker 1: game and they don't really get the passing game going
- 34:59Speaker 1: like they thought, and you know, let's see how how
- 35:02Speaker 1: great things are there. It's a great connection right now
- 35:06Speaker 1: between CD and Pickings and Deck. You know, if it
- 35:11Speaker 1: doesn't go like they wanted to, then you know that
- 35:14Speaker 1: that's where some of those those issues come up. But
- 35:17Speaker 1: I think that they're going to get the ball. I
- 35:18Speaker 1: think that that's the game plan is to get those guys.
- 35:21Speaker 1: That's how the Cowboys are going to have to win
- 35:23Speaker 1: this game, in any game, is to get their playmakers
- 35:26Speaker 1: the football. All right, let's go to we have first
- 35:28Speaker 1: time caller Gerald port Allen, Louisiana. Is that right?
- 35:32Speaker 16: Yes?
- 35:33Speaker 1: What is up?
- 35:33Speaker 16: Mann to sign again and something?
- 35:38Speaker 10: All right?
- 35:40Speaker 1: There we go first time. Yeah, I can see how
- 35:45Speaker 1: you kind of laid it out there.
- 35:46Speaker 14: I love it all right.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I don't know where port Allen, Louisiana is, but you
- 35:50Speaker 1: know what, we don't have time to figure out the map,
- 35:52Speaker 1: so it's Louisiana. It's somewhere in that boot. Gerald, what's up.
- 35:57Speaker 4: Real quick?
- 35:58Speaker 3: Uh?
- 35:59Speaker 16: I'm glad the situation where Michael got got taken care of,
- 36:03Speaker 16: so we you know, leave that alone. My question is
- 36:06Speaker 16: what do you feel like we need to have more
- 36:09Speaker 16: the linebackers you have more focused on going into this
- 36:12Speaker 16: first game. I mean, obviously it's a ring game, but
- 36:14Speaker 16: do you think they will be more beneficial to help
- 36:17Speaker 16: more in the ring game or we need to, you know,
- 36:19Speaker 16: have somebody focus on like the tight end and you
- 36:22Speaker 16: know that intermediate past game as well. That's my question.
- 36:26Speaker 16: Glad to get the chance talk to you and I'll
- 36:28Speaker 16: listen it offline.
- 36:29Speaker 1: All right, thanks Carl, Uh you know what makes the
- 36:33Speaker 1: Eagles the champs. I mean there they were the best
- 36:37Speaker 1: is There isn't one thing. I mean, that's what makes
- 36:42Speaker 1: them good. That's that's what I mean. Hurts is A
- 36:44Speaker 1: is A is a runner. He can throw it, he
- 36:47Speaker 1: can throw it deep. I mean A J. Brown is
- 36:50Speaker 1: a possession guy that can get you the ball in
- 36:52Speaker 1: third and five, third and sixty, also can go fifty
- 36:55Speaker 1: to sixty. Same with DeVante Smith. Dallas Goddard's pretty good blocker,
- 36:59Speaker 1: He's pretty good down the seam as well. Barkley is
- 37:02Speaker 1: a good runner. He's a good pass catcher too. It's everything,
- 37:04Speaker 1: It's it's everything, and that's why that's why they they
- 37:07Speaker 1: won it last year. That's why they've been one of
- 37:09Speaker 1: the best teams for the last few years. And that's
- 37:12Speaker 1: not to be you know, it's not to say, wow,
- 37:15Speaker 1: there's no way you can win. But that's what makes
- 37:18Speaker 1: them great. And so linebackers, good luck. The focus is
- 37:22Speaker 1: all of it. You know, when you were taking that
- 37:24Speaker 1: test and you're like you're sitting there and going, all right,
- 37:27Speaker 1: is it A that looks like a pretty good answer.
- 37:30Speaker 1: I think A B. It could be B C. It's
- 37:35Speaker 1: definitely C. D all of the above, d that's the answer.
- 37:40Speaker 1: That's the answer. With the Eagles, it's all of the
- 37:43Speaker 1: above on that when it comes to their offense. So
- 37:46Speaker 1: I'm not trying to dodge the question. I'm just saying,
- 37:48Speaker 1: you know that Jack Sanborn and Kenneth Murray can't just
- 37:50Speaker 1: sit there and go Barkley all day. No matter what Barkley,
- 37:54Speaker 1: we're gonna stop him because that's where the pass goes
- 37:57Speaker 1: over his head, That's where Goddard goes down the seam.
- 37:59Speaker 1: So it's gonna have to be a game of them
- 38:03Speaker 1: dictating things as well. It's not just it's not just
- 38:06Speaker 1: gonna be well, we gotta They're gonna have to be
- 38:09Speaker 1: all right, we're blitzing. We're blitzing here all out or
- 38:11Speaker 1: this thing. You know, we're fake blitzing. We're coming back
- 38:13Speaker 1: this time. We're gonna roastwo rushers off the edge here,
- 38:15Speaker 1: We're gonna go corner blitz. They're gonna have to do
- 38:18Speaker 1: things that the Eagles haven't seen. That's the one advantage.
- 38:22Speaker 1: It's not a great advantage, but the one thing they've
- 38:24Speaker 1: got is that I think people know what the Eagles
- 38:27Speaker 1: are going to do for the most part, and as
- 38:30Speaker 1: far as what eber flews and this scheme's gonna do,
- 38:32Speaker 1: and definitely on the offensive side, it's the one thing
- 38:36Speaker 1: that they don't really have, so the Cowboys are gonna
- 38:38Speaker 1: have to take advantage of that. That's why scoring early,
- 38:41Speaker 1: getting early stops is big, because after a few possessions,
- 38:44Speaker 1: teams start figuring it out. When they figure it out,
- 38:47Speaker 1: it's nice if you're already up ten points or seven
- 38:49Speaker 1: points or whatever. All right, Aaron in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Aaron,
- 38:53Speaker 1: what's up?
- 38:54Speaker 7: Not much?
- 38:55Speaker 1: How you doing something good?
- 38:56Speaker 16: Good?
- 38:56Speaker 1: How are you?
- 38:57Speaker 15: Oh?
- 38:58Speaker 7: Doing great?
- 38:58Speaker 4: Man?
- 38:58Speaker 7: Doing great? Beautiful day here, sunshining, wonderful day. Hey, just
- 39:02Speaker 7: a couple of quick things. One, I'm all okay with
- 39:06Speaker 7: the whole Micah Parson's trade. You know, I think he's good.
- 39:09Speaker 7: I think he's a very good player. I don't think
- 39:11Speaker 7: he's great, though, because I think all the great players,
- 39:14Speaker 7: you know, they have all the intangibles, and there's just
- 39:16Speaker 7: definitely some things, you know, with how how it all
- 39:18Speaker 7: played out, and just some of the rummas we're hearing.
- 39:20Speaker 7: But but you know what, I'm perfectly fine with that
- 39:23Speaker 7: because I think you know, from what I've seen, you
- 39:26Speaker 7: know here right now, and recently he's some of the
- 39:29Speaker 7: best actual football decisions I think our front office has made.
- 39:33Speaker 7: And I know we gave up a good player. But
- 39:36Speaker 7: one thing I kind of agree with what everybody's saying is,
- 39:38Speaker 7: you know, we lost our best player. We did Zach
- 39:41Speaker 7: Martin retired because I think he was probably the best
- 39:43Speaker 7: player on our team the last you know, last big run.
- 39:47Speaker 7: But but other than that, you know, I'm excited for
- 39:50Speaker 7: the season, man, I'm ready for Thursday night. I really
- 39:54Speaker 7: like the vibe that I've seen from the entire time
- 39:57Speaker 7: since we named coach Schottenheimer as our head coach, just
- 40:01Speaker 7: his whole approach to everything, the coaching staff, you put
- 40:03Speaker 7: together all of that, and I think that's going to
- 40:05Speaker 7: wind up paying dividends for us. You know, it might
- 40:08Speaker 7: not early in the season. I think somebody earlier said
- 40:10Speaker 7: there might have men you you know, some maybe October
- 40:13Speaker 7: this thing will start to gel and then I think
- 40:16Speaker 7: we're going to see that show up in the win
- 40:17Speaker 7: column as we get through the year. And about the
- 40:20Speaker 7: game on Thursday, man, it's a division game. As we know,
- 40:24Speaker 7: anything can happen between NFC East arrivals, and I can
- 40:29Speaker 7: very easily see us going up there and spoiling their
- 40:32Speaker 7: little party Thursday night. So I don't have a score,
- 40:35Speaker 7: but I think we're going to win it on a
- 40:36Speaker 7: late Brandon Aubry field goal and the quote Nate Newton,
- 40:39Speaker 7: we only got to win by one, that.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Would be great. All right, thanks for the call, Aaron.
- 40:44Speaker 1: I can promise you this. If that happens and the
- 40:47Speaker 1: Cowboys win this game, we're going to come in here Friday. Now.
- 40:51Speaker 1: I'm just so you know. I just saw the itinerary.
- 40:55Speaker 1: It says we're supposed to land at four am. And
- 40:57Speaker 1: I don't live that close to the airport. And that's
- 41:00Speaker 1: just landing. That's just wheels down at about four am.
- 41:03Speaker 1: That's not getting taxing, getting down, getting your bag, getting home.
- 41:09Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's sleep at five, and it's
- 41:12Speaker 1: it's waking up at seven. Take the kids. It's gonna
- 41:15Speaker 1: make yeah exactly, yeah no, but listen, listen here the
- 41:21Speaker 1: When that happens, though, like the Cowboys win this game,
- 41:25Speaker 1: it won't matter. It really won't matter. One hour sleep,
- 41:28Speaker 1: two hours sleep, no sleep, won't matter. The energy level
- 41:32Speaker 1: for that show is gonna be off the chart if
- 41:35Speaker 1: it happens. Now, the Cowboys have to do their part.
- 41:37Speaker 1: But I can promise you this though, it will be
- 41:40Speaker 1: one of the one of the best shows of all
- 41:41Speaker 1: time if the Cowboys can do that. Not to say
- 41:44Speaker 1: if they don't win, it's not gonna be a great show.
- 41:46Speaker 1: We're still gonna have fun, We're still gonna talk about
- 41:47Speaker 1: it and break it down. But I'm just saying, man,
- 41:50Speaker 1: it won't matter how much sleep that that you have
- 41:52Speaker 1: or don't have, because I know this, I have to
- 41:53Speaker 1: do one show. Chris Bean has to do seven shows,
- 41:57Speaker 1: so he's gonna he'll be ready to roll. All right,
- 42:00Speaker 1: Let's go to Sergeant Sues and four Worth. What's up?
- 42:03Speaker 3: Addis everybody?
- 42:04Speaker 20: How you doing?
- 42:05Speaker 17: Nick?
- 42:05Speaker 1: Good? Bud?
- 42:06Speaker 20: All right, man, so check it out. I was listening
- 42:09Speaker 20: to uh Dak's you know interview, you know, the press
- 42:11Speaker 20: was asking him questions and stuff, and somebody asked a
- 42:14Speaker 20: question about like how do you what do you say
- 42:16Speaker 20: to the guys that haven't experience, you know, like the
- 42:19Speaker 20: hanging of the banner and all this and all that,
- 42:21Speaker 20: and Dak kind of like smirked a little bit, almost
- 42:23Speaker 20: as if he was like, what kind of question is that?
- 42:25Speaker 20: Because he said, you know, I don't know if you've
- 42:27Speaker 20: been to our games. But you know, we got the smoke,
- 42:29Speaker 20: and we got the loudness and the fire. We have
- 42:31Speaker 20: a lot of distractions too. So you know what, man,
- 42:34Speaker 20: that kind of pumped me up because Dak prescoffs like
- 42:36Speaker 20: Eagles who Super Bowl?
- 42:38Speaker 16: What?
- 42:38Speaker 7: It don't matter.
- 42:39Speaker 20: I'm picking the Dallas Cowboys. Brother, this is every day
- 42:41Speaker 20: for us. And that made me feel like bro, I
- 42:44Speaker 20: forgot that Dak is daddy.
- 42:45Speaker 4: I forgot that Dak.
- 42:46Speaker 20: Is the Eagles daddy, And it don't matter. There's no
- 42:48Speaker 20: more vanilla. Pickens is back. I mean, Pickens is here.
- 42:52Speaker 20: I think Pickens gets involved early and often. Fergie Ferg
- 42:55Speaker 20: gets the first touchdown and the Eagle and the Eagles
- 42:58Speaker 20: they fall the Eagles. The Eagles fall to the Dallas
- 43:00Speaker 20: Cowboys thirty to twenty seven. Look, I know, you know,
- 43:03Speaker 20: twenty seven points is a lot. They're gonna run the
- 43:05Speaker 20: ball up and down. They're gonna they have great wide receivers.
- 43:07Speaker 20: They got all kinds of stuff going on. But you
- 43:09Speaker 20: know what, man, I just think when Dak Prescott is back,
- 43:12Speaker 20: you know what I mean, Call Dak what you want,
- 43:14Speaker 20: but he's the leader of this football team. He's not
- 43:16Speaker 20: afraid of the Eagles. Never been afraid of the Eagles,
- 43:18Speaker 20: you know what I mean. And hey, when he's healthy,
- 43:21Speaker 20: it's hard to take him down. So hey, I got
- 43:22Speaker 20: Dallas winning thirty twenty seven. I'll how that challuys Friday.
- 43:25Speaker 8: Thank you, Nick?
- 43:26Speaker 1: All right, see it man, good stuff. You're right, Dak.
- 43:29Speaker 1: He's confident. There's no doubt about it. I sensed that
- 43:32Speaker 1: yesterday and just talking a little bit off the record,
- 43:35Speaker 1: but he was just kind of, you know, just just
- 43:37Speaker 1: chatting a little bit. You can kind of you you
- 43:39Speaker 1: can feel the energy. You could also see like the
- 43:42Speaker 1: confidence there. So all right, let's go to a last caller.
- 43:45Speaker 1: This will be a Josh in Chicago, real quick, Josh.
- 43:48Speaker 1: What's up?
- 43:49Speaker 4: Hey, Nick?
- 43:49Speaker 21: Last time I talked to you was right before training
- 43:51Speaker 21: camp started. Right when he started training camp. I said,
- 43:53Speaker 21: the biggest thing I was concerned about was whether you would.
- 43:55Speaker 7: Get a hat.
- 43:56Speaker 21: Yeah, I tell you, I got a lot of concerns
- 43:58Speaker 21: about this football team right now. But I'm gonna quick
- 44:00Speaker 21: Thursday night. I'm not concerned. This team's ready. They're hungry,
- 44:03Speaker 21: they're gonna go out, They're gonna be chilly. I don't
- 44:05Speaker 21: care about the score. They're gonna win, all right, all
- 44:07Speaker 21: I got for you?
- 44:07Speaker 1: All right, that's all we need. I love it. I
- 44:10Speaker 1: got a text from Joe and Stamford and he just
