  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Cowboys This these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Let's go at this time for Cowboys storyline. I am
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Nick Eatman here. It's Friday, September twenty ninth, just a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: couple of days away from the Cowboys taking on the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: New England Patriots at AT and T Stadium three twenty five. Kickoff.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Should be a lot of fun. Let's let's see what
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Ezekiel Elliott, mac Jones and those guys
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: have for the Cowboys. More than anything, Let's see what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys can do. Flipping the script. If you can
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: lose to the Cardinals and play a game like they
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: did last Sunday, then I think everything's on the table.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And that's something that they're probably talking about this week.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I know Mike McCarthy said this morning on the radio
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that the you know, if he would kind of describe
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: his team in the way they've practiced, it would be urgency.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So that's probably a good thing to hear for for
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. All right, storylines for this team really it
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: comes down to, you know, to the injury front. I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: think for for Dallas, I get the sense Zach Martin
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is going to play, or at least has a better
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: chance of playing. We saw that just just in the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: locker room. I mean last week he talks on Thursday's.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Last Thursday, he did not talk. He also didn't do
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a conference call on Friday for the PR staff. He
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: did talk yesterday. He is going to do another conference
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: call for them. So that right there just kind of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: tells me. I mean, he's at least thinking about, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: getting there, getting ready to play. He practiced a little
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: bit some yesterday. So did Tyler Beatish. I think those
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: guys have a better chance to play. Tyron Smith I wouldn't.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't put in that category. I don't. I don't
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: see that happening. And then I would think chum Doga
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: will play again at left tackle and start the game
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: at left tackle. That's the way it's of trending for now,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: all right, eight eight eight eight five five two two
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: nine seven. That is the phone line, the text line.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I should have this memorized, but I don't yet. Eight
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: We've had the same phone line for about twenty years.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So that's why I know that one. But the text
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: line still get some great stuff out of the text
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: messages as well. Well, we're gonna start with the phone line.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We'll start with Gary in New Mexico. Gary, your first
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: off here on cowboy storyline? What's up here?
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: And Nick?
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: How you doing? Congratulations on a popular show.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, appreciate that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Got a quick trivia question for you. Then I'll ask
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: you a real question.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I betta be ready.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, of all the prominent Dallas cowboy running backs to
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: leave and go to another team, only one has ever
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: come back to Dallas and beating the Cowboys. Who was it?
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: Mmm?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Prominent? Now? I like how you say that. Not just
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: some some guy. Oh man, that's a good win. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: don't think Herschel did. They didn't do it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: Hershell beat him on the road, but he never came
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: back and beat him.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And tell okay, dor Set didn't do it. DeMarco Murray.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it either.
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: If I had a little bit more to go ahead,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you got.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Me Calvin Hill in nineteen seventy six with the Redskins.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Calvin Hill seventy six. I should have known that I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was you know I was, I was like six months old.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I should have got that one good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: I was a youngster too. I just I read all this.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Here's my concern. Okay, that blank show that they put
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: out there last week in Arizona, I think has made
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: this game against New England a must win game because
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: if you lose this game Sunday, now you're going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: San Francisco and to the Chargers, you're staring two and
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: four in the face. Do you think it's a must
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: game this week?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for the call, Gary. I get a little,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know, uneasy about saying must wins on in September
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: early October as well. I always kind of categorize it
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: as you better win. It's not really a must win,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but you better win. You better win if you want
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to be the team that you think you're going to be.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Could could they mathematically? Of course, you can do anything
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you want to do still early in the year. But
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I know what you're saying here, it is a must
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: win game for for that mentality. I like to just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: say they better win. They have to go out and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: establish themselves as a good football team. And right now,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the juries, the jury's out, I mean We think that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they're going to be good. They've been good the last
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: couple of years. They've added some key pieces. They've got
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: some great players on this team that they did lose,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you know, a key player in Trayvon Diggs. But they
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have to go out and show that they can do this.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter who the quarterback is. I mean,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick knows whose quarterback is. He's figured out ways
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to win, you know, in spite of him. And I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: think that this is going to be a big challenge.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they know that everybody knows. San Francisco is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: on the schedule. We've been talking about it for the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: last month. So San Francisco Chargers as well. You know
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that that's going to be an interesting game too. So
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: this is one of those that you know, you got
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to take care of your your home games. You've got
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to beat teams that aren't, you know, considered the elite teams.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You've got to go and win the game like this.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So that's where I think it's a it's a better
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: win type situation. All right, Curtis and Oklahoma your next Curtis,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: what's up? Hey, Good morning, Good morning, Curtis.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Hey, just a few things that I kind of wanted
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: to talk about. The main thing I'm looking for this
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: weekend is a clean game. As far as penalties, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: don't want to see the defensive off side. You know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the offense for the Patriots isn't really you know, lighting
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: up the scoreboard, so you know, you definitely can't give
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: them continued drives like that. Another thing is, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: if you had told me in training camp that our
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: first round pick Mazzie Smith wouldn't really be effective and
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: our kicker would be automatic, I would be pretty shocked
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: at those two things. And then the last thing is,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: you know, I consider myself a Homer and I'm a
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: huge Tony Romo fan, but I was still really surprised
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: at the nomination for the Hall of Fame. And when
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I look at him and Dak and what Dak has
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: done team success and even individually, you know, I think
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Dak is just as good in that aspect. So considering
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: those two things, I'll just hang up and hear what
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: you got to say about that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll be clarify that part of Romo's he wasn't
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: nominated for the Hall of Fame. He's one of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: they call it semi finalists. I think there's one hundred
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and ninety seven players on that list, or maybe one seventy.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I went through the entire list and looked at all
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: former Cowboy connections and I found fifteen guys that have
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: played for the Cowboys. Keith Brooking, it was was on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that mix. I'm Leroy Glover, Eric Williams, Nate Newton, Stepnovski
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of course, Darren Woodson, Eddie George. I mean, I'm talking
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: about just all players that have ever played for the Cowboys,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and Romo was on there. So when it gets paired
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: down the twenty five here later on in this year, now,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: now let let's let's talk about it. And I don't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: know if Romo will be in that mixed, so he hasn't.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: He's got a long ways to go when it comes
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to that. And he was on that same list last
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: year too. So the finalist, when they get down to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the twenty five, that's when it starts to get serious.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I think Darren Woodson's the one. We're always kind of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: looking at their clean game, true, because you know New
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: England is going to play that that way that there
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they play it a very disciplined style. That's that's one
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: thing that that Belichick always kind of goes for. You know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: he's he's he's said that, he's admitted that, you know, talent, athleticism,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: all that is great, but he's also looking for for,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you know, the smart players that understand their role, understand
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the schemes and the concepts, and you have
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to play that way. When when the style that that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: he uses, I mean, the Cowboys have been talking about
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: it all week. You know, they play a three four defense,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: sometimes they play four to three. In the middle of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the game, they switch back and forth, and you got
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to have players that are disciplined to be able to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: do that. So yeah, that that's going to be a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: big deal. And ask for Mazie and and and Aubrey.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, Aubrey after three games, he's been uh,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he's been stellar. You know, he's been better than you've
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: wanted him to be. And I say that because all
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this red zone talk. He's kicked a lot more field
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: goals than a lot of the Cowboys have wanted to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: see out of him. All right, Joe and Stanford, you're next,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Nick.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: A few quick things, So first, I don't have really
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: any expectations of this game. Yes, last week is so
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: confusing to me, uh that I just want him to win.
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: That's my only expectation. Just please win. I don't care
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: how we do it. I don't care if it's in
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: the last second. I don't care if it's ugly. I
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: don't care if it's pretty. I just want to win.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: Joe.
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: I just don't know what to think about a lot
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: of things that happened last week. I think it's hard
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: to take anything from it. So I'm not going to
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: take anything from it except relatious.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Please win.
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: A couple other things. The last caller was talking about
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: Tony Romo in comparison to Dak. You know, this may
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: not be a popular opinion. This is my opinion personally,
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: I feel like Tony Romo was the best quarterback that
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: ever played for the Cowboys. I well, I just think skill, skill,
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: He was super clutch. If Tony had the teams put
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: with him that a lot of these other players had,
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: he would have killed it. If he had this team,
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: he would be flying up and down the field. That's
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: my opinion.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Well let me, let's let's have some fun with this now,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: because if this isn't these last two years aren't the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: best team the Cowboys have had in a while. It
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: would be seven, and he was flying up and down
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the field with them, and they were really good. I mean,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: we kind of know why they didn't win that game
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: against the Giants.
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: But pass Rush, I think.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You can argue though he had some talent around him.
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: Though oh no, I'm not saying he didn't have talent
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: around him, but he didn't have these kind of defenses.
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: Troy had these kind of defenses he played with. That's
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: one thing people forget about the nineties because everybody likes
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: to talk about the triplets, But Troy had people like
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: Darren Woodson and Deon Sanders playing with him.
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: Number one defenses in the league ye yeah, yeah, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: and Roger Staubach same thing, doomsday defenses. And I'm not
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: dissing those guys. They are amazing players, probably maybe better
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: leaders than Tony was, especially at the beginning of his career.
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: If you want to have one knock on Tony, that
• 10:55
  Speaker 10: might be the knock, and that's where Dak maybe has
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: it over Tony, But an any other metric or comparison,
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: it ain't close. Tony Romo would is with way better
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: quarterback than Dak Prescott.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean I h I said, yeah, as
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in as in like I hear you, I don't know.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know where I fall in on that. And Joe,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call. I love the first part you said,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just win, just just win the game, and it didn't
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: have to doesn't it really matter how because that's what
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: last week kind of does. And in a weird way,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I said this on the plane to Derek Eagleton after
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the game, I said, you know, in a weird way,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: it's almost a little refreshing because it's kind of just
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it just hits the reset button on this whole season
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of like, you know, everything is back on the table now.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's get excited about wins. Let's get
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: style points aren't really gonna matter as much. Let's go
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and and and get you know, do the things that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: we're hoping that we're going to see from this team
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and not have to worry about how they compare against
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: somebody that's not even on the schedule or not on
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the schedule for a while. Like, let's just take everything
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: in front of them and that's kind of where they are.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Let's see if the Cowboys approach it the same way
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: as for Dak and Romo. I said this, you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, like that's one thing about comparing quarterbacks
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in different eras and all, that doesn't really matter at
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the end of the day. You know, what fans are
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: talking about is just that they haven't been back to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in what twenty eight years? Twenty seven years, so,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and Romo's a part of that. So is Dak.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You know, aateman was at the at the end of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: his career, and all the other guys kind of in between.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You know, Romo there. So you know, that's that's what
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: it comes down to. I mean, there are some things
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that I there's some some some areas of Romo's game
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that I think he was really really good. I think
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: he's so underrated as a quarterback. He didn't get the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: job done at the end.
• 12:57
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: But and you can say the clutch thing is kind
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of weird because as a fourth quarter quarterback he was
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: really good. I think he has a quarterback rating off
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the charts. In the fourth quarter, he would come back,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: he could rally. Of course, when you say clutch, you
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: think about playoffs. You also think about dropping the snap
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: as a holder in Seattle and things like that. They
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: kind of went against him. And you can say what
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: you want, he should have been holding, he did, he was,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and he dropped it. And so you know, if you
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: want to make the argument about Romo you can. If
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you want to say how great he was, he's good.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I just think as it stands right now, Romo and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Dack to their careers are very similar in what they've
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: done and also what they haven't done. All right, Michael
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and Bowling Green, Kentucky. What's up?
• 13:41
  Speaker 12: Hey?
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: Funny you were mentioned about Romo and Dad. The last
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: time I called in on the Cowboys line was about
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: ten years ago on Veteran's Day. I thought to gill
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: Brandt they had a deal if you were a veteran
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: you went to the frongal line, And I asked him
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: about Romo. Could he take Could Romo take him to
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: the super Bowl? But my question today is they just
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: get rid of the linebacker? Harp I believe yes. Do
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: you think they get rid of him because they've got
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: somebody that they're trying to get or do they get
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: rid of him because of that penalty on the turf
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: and play.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: The good question. You know, I'm not sure why just yet.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, why did they they released him the penalty.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: It's not just because of the penalty, it's it's probably
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: because the penalty is the one thing that you know
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: about Devin Harper. I mean, he's not doing really anything else.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not going around and making a lot
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of special teams plays and contributing, and he's he's not
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: at the point where, I mean, this team's thin at linebacker.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not a guy that that's that's chomping
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: at the bit for them to to put on the field,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to say, oh we can you know, we can use
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: him and play him here, you know where they're like, well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: we got to put Marquise Bellet linebacker. We got to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: put you know, Jayron Kurs, we got to put Donovan Wilson,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, not a linebacker at linebacker. We got to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: move other guys. So that was part of it, And
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think he had taken that step to be
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a linebacker on the field full time. The penalty didn't help,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, it didn't hurt that. It didn't
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: hurt as bad as people think, in my opinion, just
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: because it was a huge penalty. It was like sixty
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: five yards of off of a field position. But they
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: did go down the I mean they went down the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: field quickly. They were back right inside the red zone
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in a matter of minutes, So didn't have a huge
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: impact in the game. But course timing was everything, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: maybe if they were already down there, they could have
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: scored quicker and maybe changed that that whole game because
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: they did have some momentum built up. And but it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: was a penalty. I mean that that is a penalty.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: He was holding him as the you know, the the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: kick was in the air, so it might have changed
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: some things there. I think what they're gonna I think
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: what they could do is, I mean, you have a
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: guy like Malik Jefferson on the practice squad, you could
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: start elevating him on game day. They were elevating brock Hoffman.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: They're out of elevations for him. So they could sign Hoffman,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: who had a nice game at center. He played pretty well.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: They could move Hoffman onto the roster and then they
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: could elevate a linebacker on game day Malik Jefferson, Or
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you could sign Jefferson and elevate other centers that you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: have Harlow Price that they just added, so there's things
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that they can do. But I mean I would think
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Malik Jefferson maybe tyr Sweet, but I would think Jefferson's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: probably gonna factor in to this. And I wonder what
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: gil Brandt said about Romo. What was his answer? I
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: should have asked you that did he think he could
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: take him?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: There?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It's just this quarterback talk about like the best of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: all time or even the best right now. Is Dak
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: top ten? Is he top five? Is he top twenty?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, just win. I mean, it doesn't matter. It
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: really doesn't matter at the end of the day. It's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: like your opinion versus your opinion. You know. I look
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: at guys like Kirk Cousins and I just think, you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: know a lot of stats, maybe on your fantasy team,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want him in a clutch situation, you know.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, like like there's just different guys that you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: just think differently of. But at the end of the day,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: it's who's winning, who can take their team where they
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: want to go, you know, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, those
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: guys getting put you know, put up there pretty high,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and you know, but but Allen hasn't won a lot,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you know, either, so it just it really doesn't matter,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you know. But this stuff, this kind of stuff happens
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: when you lose games, and you lose the way the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Cowboys did the other day. All right, Ronnie in New Jersey, Ronnie,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: Good morning?
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: Make how you doing?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Good morning?
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: How are you not too bad? I love your shows?
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: The shows? Yeah, Nick, the big ass comment. I had
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: this in my mind. I wanted to tell you you
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: were talking about on the Cowboys break ron O'Leary. That's uh,
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: you're comparing him to another guy.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That seems that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, it was you and Brian brought us and
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: you guys were talking about it and you're comparing him
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: to another guard and you were like, he has a
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: lot of action, an Chris.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Do we have that clip? I mean that that that
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: drop it somewhere?
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: It was years ago.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It was years ago. And I said, yeah, and I've
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: heard a lot of people with him that that seems
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that seems right.
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: And also because with him, I heard the show that
• 18:40
  Speaker 12: day and I started laughing when you mentioned it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's just go with that then.
• 18:44
  Speaker 12: But my question, we're moving, we're doing the youth movement, right,
• 18:49
  Speaker 12: and it seems like Tyrone Smith this might be his
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: last year the way he's looking. I mean, he looks
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: great when he's on the field, but with his injuries
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: and everything. And I know we have this drafted his
• 19:00
  Speaker 12: last year and we moved them out to left tackle.
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: But what about if we're gonna have a youth movement,
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: let's make the whole left side young for the future.
• 19:09
  Speaker 12: What about if we are half of the year or
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: you know, half a quarter here and there. Put Richard's
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: awesome Richards. Yeah, move him and let him get some
• 19:21
  Speaker 12: reps left tackle with Tyron Smith. That way, you gave
• 19:24
  Speaker 12: him a break, and we still we're still moving, Uh
• 19:27
  Speaker 12: with the youth movement. What do you think?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I think for sure he's
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: got an ass there. It is there. It is probably
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: ten years old.
• 19:38
  Speaker 12: It was Ronald Leary man. You were talking about it
• 19:40
  Speaker 12: because his pants were like always out halfway.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Well see that's that's another part of it too, Like
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: we saw more of it than we really wanted to see. Yeah,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it was always you know, it was always the crack
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of dawn going on with him. But yeah, uh, good
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: player though, good good player. All right, man, thanks for
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the call youth movement. You know, I don't care. I
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: don't care if it's Jason Peters at forty three years old,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I really don't care. I mean, I think it's during
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the season. I think you've got to you've got short up.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, who can block? Who can figure it out?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: If it's awesome, right, If he's ready to go, that's
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: even better obviously. I mean, it was so valuable to have,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you know, Tyler Smith play like he did last year,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and now here he is in his second year. You know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you want Mozzi Smith to kind of pick it up.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And if Jonathan Hankins is not on the roster next
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: year because he did sign a one year deal, I mean,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you would love for Mozzi to be that guy to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: kind of take over. So far, it's early in the season.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: We haven't really seen that. You know, you love that
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: demon and Clark was able to do what he did
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: last year and get him ready for this year. But
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: if the guy's not capable, if you don't just put
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: him out there just because you want him to learn
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: on the run, you don't do that to your quarterbacks
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: blind side. So it's got to be a guy worthy
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: of doing it if he's ready. You know, if if
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: awesome is awesome, go for it. But if he's not,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: then I don't think you just throw throw it out there.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you're going to move Tyler
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Smith to tackle, I think Idoga's fine at guard. I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: think TJ. Bass could be fine at guard. So you
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: got options there and they'll they'll figure it out. Unfortunately,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: that's just the way it goes that offensive line. You're
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: not going to just have the same guys. This team
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: certainly hasn't had the continuity like that at all. So
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go to another caller here before our
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: first break. This is from Joel in Olpaso or Joe.
• 21:38
  Speaker 14: Oh, yes, I'm here, Hey.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Man, how are you.
• 21:41
  Speaker 14: I'm great, I'm great. A two things I wanted to say.
• 21:45
  Speaker 14: One thing with I think that Romo and Dak, everybody's
• 21:49
  Speaker 14: always comparing them to different fans. I think Romo always
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: got all the blame for anything that happened, and it
• 21:55
  Speaker 14: seems like Dak gets all the excuses as if, like
• 21:59
  Speaker 14: they'll say, his receivers are messed up, his his offensive line,
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: he just gets a lot of excuses. And I think
• 22:05
  Speaker 14: that and Romo took a lot of blame.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: You talk about that.
• 22:10
  Speaker 14: And also another thing you've heard of, the Madden curse. Right,
• 22:16
  Speaker 14: So I've come up with the Jerry jinks, and I
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: think everybody that Jerry seems to pay uh, they either
• 22:26
  Speaker 14: get hurt or they start their play goes really down.
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: It goes all the.
• 22:32
  Speaker 14: Way back to Martin, goes back to whom Marco Rivera.
• 22:36
  Speaker 14: Do you remember that?
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: Okay, So I mean is there anybody that you can
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: remember getting a payday that hasn't gotten hurt or really.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Significant Well, I mean yeah, I mean I think it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: easier to go the other way. I mean, like, like,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: who are the who are the guys? Well, get you
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: gotta you gotta remember this too. Getting hurt is one thing.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Not playing as well is different because that because all
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, your expectations are completely different. Now, I mean,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I mean we've seen it with guys that are playing well,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: playing well, it's time for their contract. Now they get
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: a contract. Oh look at them. They're in the top
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: five of their position or top ten or whatever. Now
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you get evaluated differently. Terrence Newman got evaluated differently. You know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: he was still getting four or five interceptions a game.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: But that wasn't good enough. Once you get your contract.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Once you get that contract, you know, now now you
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: should be getting eight nine that picks a game, and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: so the expectations obviously go up. We've seen it with
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: dak as well, you know now because you start putting
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a number onto their their performance. As for the injuries,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, Trayvon Diggs, I mean that's something for sure,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: that that that that happened. I don't know if it's
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a if it's a jinx, I mean, it's it happened.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: It was it was an injury. I mean, good for him.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Good for him for taking the money, you know, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: not drawing it out a little bit. And that's that's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: what you do. That's what that's what negotiations are, what
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: they are. You want to get HM knocked out of
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the way. So because injuries do happen, so he you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: he protected him himself, and you know, I mean it's
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a little different situation with CD. I mean, he's got
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit more more time before he is, you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: a free agent, so I don't know if he's going
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to be rushing to the table, but you know, I'm
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: sure things like that happen. I just don't know if
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: if you've got a long list of the Jerry Jinks,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just not I'm not familiar with that one as much.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, it happens. It was unfortunate, But you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the good thing is is Trayvon. You know, he's going
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to be a part of this team for a while
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and he's working with the best in the business when
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: it comes to the rehab guys that they've got, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I would imagine by the off season of next year,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: some OTAs, maybe mini camps, and then he should be
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: he probably will be full go, you know, ready for
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: for training camp, or at least that's the goal. Its corners.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: It's a little different when you got knee injury and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: your cutting and running and all that. But I would
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: imagine he'll be in good shape for next year. All right,

• 27:16
  Speaker 1: got a few more minutes before we will call it
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: a week and make some predictions. We got some pod
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: picks that we will we'll talk about our Our theme
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: this week is the who's going to score the first
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: running UH touchdown of the game? First rushing touchdown either team,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: either team might see some Stevenson some answers, Zeke maybe
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Pollard Rico Dadald scored the only touchdown I believe last
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: week for the Cowboys was on a rushing touchdown, but
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he did score, and you know, maybe he's a guy.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do something in the red zone.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Theyre gonna have to kind of fit. You know, they
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: can't just keep running the ball, running the ball. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: that's one thing too, that that I've been kind of
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: thinking about, when when when it comes to like this interception,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: this this awful interception the deck through. I get it, it
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: was terrible. I mean, who's he throwing it? You know
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: to there was three guys there. But I'm not killing
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: him for it because number one. I mean, they had
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to score two touchdowns and they're trying to get back
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: in the game. Here it's third down, but like, what
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: else are you gonna do? You're not gonna run. I mean,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: they've they've proven they cannot run the football down there,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: and that was the goal run the ball not working,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: not working. This line cannot push anybody from the ten
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: yard line in that was like their end zone. They stopped.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: No more pushed there at the ten yard line. So
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna You're not gonna run it in. You're
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: not getting a call. You might get the call, but
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: they'll pick it up, so you're not getting any any
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: help officiating wides there in the end zone there, guys
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: all that, so you have you have to take it
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: upon yourself. That's why I'm not giving I'm putting so
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: much on deck for this because, I mean, nothing else
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: was working. We've played what fifty five of the sixty minutes.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: You're not running it, you're not throwing it in there.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: You gotta do something, you know, to make it happen.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That's not what you want. But yet, what what other
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: options are there? I mean, I get it, throw it
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: away and live for fourth down. Figure something else out.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Not not a great call. Not giving him excuses. I'm
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: just saying no one else was doing anything, so he
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you know, that's what happens when you start putting pressure
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: on the quarterback. You to go and make the play.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to avoid him to do. But
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: but sometimes that happens. Again, no excuse, you can't make
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that throw there, but you know somebody else needs to
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: step up, and then it hadn't happened that entire game
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: either side of the ball honestly. All right, let's go
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to the phone line. Marquis from Virginia. Marquis, what's up?
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: Call?
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: Last week I mentioned that nobody was talking about linebackers
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: of it even a good thing, going bad things, and
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: we saw just asson that it was a bad thing. Yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: clearly the weakness of the defense. And what fotherished me
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: is that two years ago Dan Clan proved to be
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: like a mad genius by using the linebacker. We drafted
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: Michael Rossins to also pass rush. Our best linebacker is
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: also our best being. We have a problem there because
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: we don't use him on rundowns as a linebacker, and
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: we should. I think he would be more dynamic on
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: obvious rundowns first down, second and short and then let
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: him go down and rush the passer as opposed to
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: he's almost out of the game in running down unless
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: he could change something down from behind. And our linebackers,
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, we used to get and I'm a Notre
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Dame fan too, and rightfully so, we used to get
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: Jalen a lot of crafts. And we have to realize
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: that Lvee has never been the same since his rookie
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: year it's the reason why he keeps coming back on
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: one and two year deals, and we need to improve
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: with that position. So I think we should move Michael
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: to linebacker on rundown and then let him go rush
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: the passer. And that was still that would make you
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: even more confusing. We're leaving him, letting them move along
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: the d line, but that's not hoping when you need
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: a linebacker to straight and get over the top and
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: run sideline the sideline. It was painful watching LV chase
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: that guy down the field and I'm just like, I'm
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: yelling at the TV like died, like what are you
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: trying to stir on your feet for? Like just try
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: to trip him up with something. But yeah, the linebacker
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: play is like really been bothering me. And it wasn't
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: just Arizona. That's why I mentioned it before the Arizona game.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: I think it's a weakness and I think we should
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: use our best linebacker at linebacker on run downs, which
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: is Michael Carson's.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the for the call. I mean,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you're you're probably onto something here. The only thing that
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: kind of strikes me about what you're saying is is
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the quote rundowns, like what is running downs? First and ten?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, like what third and one? I mean, what
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: what are running downs? Because you know there's obviously, you know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks can and audible out of things. And so the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: first thing that they're doing when they break the huddle
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: and they get to the line of scrimmage is finding
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. Obviously, is he over here? Is he over here?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Is he back here at linebacker? And if he's back
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: here at linebacker and I'm supposed to run the football,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I may not run it anymore. This might be this
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: might be where I want to decide, okay, I can
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: go back and throw it. So you know, it's not
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: just like simple as that where you're just like, all right,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: put him back there at linebacker. But I don't think
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you're wrong in the sense of he should be lining
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: up in different spots on the field. And I think
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: that they might get back to that a little bit.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Uh And and you know, because he's he's starting to
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: see it better, you know, recognizing things, and I think
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: you need to get him maybe at times closer to
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the middle of the field where you're not just going
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: away from him and attacking him because he's got so
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: much closing speed. He can close better than anybody on
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: this Team's got so much much speed that you almost
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: want him playing sometimes in the middle of the field.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: So there's just different ways to use him. And I
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: think that's what dan Quinn's got to figure out. He's
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: got to figure out how to use him a little
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: bit better. I'm not disagreeing with the call. I don't
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: know if you'll you'll do it as much. I just
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: know that sometimes that might play right into the hands
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of the offense to get him back a little bit
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: and let them throw the football. There's just not one
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: thing that you do. It won't just be one thing.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: There will be times he's here, times he's here, but
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: throw them all all over the field because I think
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: he's capable of doing it all.
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Another text question, this is about the game, he says,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I this is from a seven oh six numbers. I
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: compare this game against the Cardinals like Rocky three. Okay,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: when Mickey died before he fought Klupper Lang got his
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: ass beat. That's what Dallas with digs and injury leading
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: up to the game. But Bland will be a Pro
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Bowl corner by the end of the Year. Okay, Okay,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: so la Ron Bland is going to is he gonna
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: find like who's going to be the apollo Creed to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: kind of help him and they run on the beach
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and train together and all that kind of stuff, like
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: who's going to do that and kind of get him
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to that level. I mean, if you haven't seen the movie,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: then that the last minute has really just been a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: waste of your time. But but yeah, basically the point
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: is is that you you're going through so much shock
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: right right off the off the jump. You're not You're
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: mentally not focused and ready for a really really good opponent,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: a better opponent than you think. And you were you
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: weren't as prepared as you needed to be for that
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: huge wake up call having to deal with a lot
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: of things emotionally. Now you got to get refocused. It's
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: basically what he's saying, Get refocused, get this thing turned around,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and and go and and and you know, and beat
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Clover Laying and then make like three or four more
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: movies after that. All right, Will and Panama City Beach, Florida. Will.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: What's up, hey, Nick?
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: How you doing?
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you hey?
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: I'm good.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: First time caller, longtime listener. I got two things I
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: want to say to you. Okay, First thing, man, I'm
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: a big fan of The Break and I really miss
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: you on that show, man, I really do. It's a
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: good show. Patrick does a great thing over there, but hey,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: we really miss you over there.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it. They're they're killing it over there.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: They're doing a lot of cool stuff. So basically, what
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: would you wanted to do is just have another show,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Just add add another thing, don't really lose anything there,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: just add a little bit more. Basically, squeeze my show
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: right in between Cowboys breaking and talking for fun filled morning.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: So that's what I think that I think that we've
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: been able to accomplish. But thanks for saying that.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, man, y'all doing a great job. Love both shows.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Next thing I want to say is I'm going to
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: say I want to make a pig for the game.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Cowboys bounce back, they fix those Redsidons struggles, and they
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: bounce back twenty eight to seventeen. Cowboys win.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, that's pretty close to the score
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that I have. Uh, thanks, thanks for the call. Will
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: appreciate that.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: There's really good talking to you, Nick.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much talking to you there in Panama
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: City Beach, Florida. All right, let's go to uh Fort
• 36:12

  Speaker 14: You're doing good?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: You're going to the game. You're wearing your Zeke jersey. Right,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you're the caller that said I'm a bad fan because
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I want to wear I want to root for Zeke.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 36:31
  Speaker 17: Uh, yes, I'll be I'll be going to the closet
• 36:32
  Speaker 17: and doing to feed me of course.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, see, here's the thing that was Wednesday. I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: was listening to the show Agatting the other day with
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Day about Danny McCrae, and you said that, and that
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: was Wednesday, and I'm like, okay, come Friday, it might
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: be a different to now. I mean, we're just like,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: all right, thanks Zeke, thanks for being here. But let's
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: let's let's hope you fumbles.
• 36:52
  Speaker 14: Oh no, here, Well, here's the thing.
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: Here's the thing.
• 36:54
  Speaker 17: I want him to like, I want him to come
• 36:56
  Speaker 17: back and like have some good runs and stuff like that.
• 36:59
  Speaker 17: I did I feel like I didn't really get to
• 37:01
  Speaker 17: maybe explain enough, but I want our defense to rock him,
• 37:04
  Speaker 17: you know what I mean, Like I really want I mean,
• 37:06
  Speaker 17: he's a he's a he's a sledgehammer still, like I
• 37:08
  Speaker 17: still believe he has that, but I want to I
• 37:10
  Speaker 17: want to see some collisions.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 37:12
  Speaker 17: I mean, of course everything's safe and everybody, you know,
• 37:14
  Speaker 17: get home safely, but I want to see like a battle.
• 37:16
  Speaker 17: To me, this is gonna be like a storyline, you know,
• 37:19
  Speaker 17: in itself beyond the game, like just the redemption type
• 37:22
  Speaker 17: of thing, the prove it type of game.
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: I really want to see.
• 37:24
  Speaker 12: I'm really pumped up for this game big time. Man.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I mean, and you should be. This is
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be. This is gonna be a good one.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: You know. Zeke, I mean Zeke's always running hard always,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: do you know that's the way he plays. He's played
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: that way. He's been consistent. But if there's even Dak
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: said of yesterday, if if there's a any more inside,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: if there's this other gear, it's it's gonna come out Sunday, Yes.
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: Sir, Yes, sir.
• 37:47
  Speaker 17: I think I think I have a little bit of
• 37:49
  Speaker 17: like a little bit of love for Zeke as well,
• 37:51
  Speaker 17: because he does Bryant and the Marcus where are the
• 37:55
  Speaker 17: only cowboys that I've actually met in person, like outside
• 37:58
  Speaker 17: of like the arena, like you know, out like in
• 38:00
  Speaker 17: a restaurant or whatever. So I mean, I just I
• 38:02
  Speaker 17: just like the guy, you know. But yeah, but I
• 38:04
  Speaker 17: just wanted to give a score prediction, you know, crazy
• 38:07
  Speaker 17: prediction then my wife's crazy prediction like I do normally
• 38:09
  Speaker 17: on Friday. If that's okay, okay, yeah, yes, yes, sir.
• 38:13
  Speaker 17: I want to do twenty seven to twenty three.
• 38:15
  Speaker 13: I think Dallas takes it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 17: I think that CD actually gets the best of guns dollars.
• 38:19
  Speaker 17: I think they're going to put him in the slot,
• 38:21
  Speaker 17: kind of give him on some rub routes and stuff
• 38:23
  Speaker 17: like that, get him open.
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: He's gonna have a quiet one hundred yards and a touchdown.
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: I think.
• 38:26
  Speaker 17: I don't think he's gonna make a bunch of splash plays.
• 38:28
  Speaker 17: I think he's gonna, you know, kind of just beat
• 38:30
  Speaker 17: up the yards on him. My wife believes that Gilmour
• 38:34
  Speaker 17: and Bland both geld have picked this week. So I'm excited.
• 38:37
  Speaker 17: And like I told Chris before I got through, my
• 38:40
  Speaker 17: wife is actually forty weeks pregnant now, man, So I
• 38:42
  Speaker 17: think it might be my last. Yeah, this might be
• 38:44
  Speaker 17: my last call for a while. So man, I appreciate everything.
• 38:47
  Speaker 17: I appreciate you guys. Always take my call and go cowboys.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Man.

• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and and and talking about Gilmour and blaying getting picks
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and and things like that, and uh, that's great. You've

  Speaker 1: but uh, we're gonna be here, so uh, you know,
• 39:26

• 39:28
  Speaker 1: you you know, we'll we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll take a
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: call to if you know here a little baby in
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the background. That's fine too, all right, that's a you know,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of close scoring. You know, I think a
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people are kind of thinking that's gonna be
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: a close scoring game, And I like, I like what
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you said about about Zeke. I mean, uh, there's there's nothing,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with with that. You know, these players,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: you don't want him to have a lot of success.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, I for me personally, when I when
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I think about him, and you know, it's it's weird
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: how fast you know, time it can fly a little bit.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I remember him just being a very young,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: immature player. I mean he was was He was the
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: youngest player in the NFL when he got here, and
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: he was immature. But he grew up, he really did.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: We watched him grow up. We watched him grow up
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: the hard way. At times, he dealt with a lot
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: of stuff, and I thought sometimes unfairly, I thought the
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: way that you know that the league handled some of
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: this stuff when he first got into the league, and
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: things that had happened at Ohio State, and the way
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: they just kind of drug on and all that. But
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I gained a lot of respect for Zeke in the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: way that he knew how to be a superstar. And
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: that is not the easiest thing in the world, because
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: it's nice when you get one hundred and seventy five
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: yards or two hundred yards or two touchdowns and you
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: win the game, and yeah, they want to talk to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you after the game. Yeah, of course, come right, you know,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: come to my locker. I'm here. But when you get
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: thirty five yards or you get fifty two yards and
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: you have a fumble and you didn't win the game,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: still same thing. I'm here, I'm ill face the music.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: That's what superstars do. And I've seen I've seen guys
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: that that are Hall of famers that weren't consistent like that,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: they didn't always talk when when they should have. I've
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: seen the guys that step up there every single Sunday.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: And Zeke was that guy. He did it every Sunday,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday. And and he he he grew up. He
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: grew up and and and I'm proud of him, you know.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: And I sound like the old guy, but I mean,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: but to him, I am, but but I you know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I I am proud of the way his career and
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: what he's done and how he's able to leave and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: come back. And you got loyal cowboy fans that are like,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I hope he does well. That right, there is a
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: sign a sign of a guy that that's really you know,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: really turned things around and did it the right way.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: All right, we got to speed this up for two
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: more calls. Uh, Steve in New York? What's up? Steve?
• 41:56
  Speaker 11: Just put my question real quick. I love Zeke, big fan,
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: but not wearing a twenty one. I'm coming actually coming
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: down for the game here from New York.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: So awesome.
• 42:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, you're you're pretty much mind. I mean
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: you you remember two thousand and three em Its first
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: game back, you had the all time bleeding rusher. I mean,
• 42:14
  Speaker 11: you know, the way was cheering for him then, and listen,
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: I hope he does good every other game except step
• 42:19
  Speaker 11: someday wishing. The best quick question for you is, though,
• 42:22
  Speaker 11: I'm not a big stat guy, but did I see
• 42:25
  Speaker 11: that with the only team in the league that does
• 42:27
  Speaker 11: not have a touchdown by a wide receiver? And if
• 42:30
  Speaker 11: that's true, what do you attribute that to the quarterback
• 42:34
  Speaker 11: or our system so far? Or could just be the games,
• 42:38
  Speaker 11: you know, the flow of the games that we've had
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: so far.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I don't know if that status. I mean,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I know they haven't had one with the wide receiver
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: that would make sense. I mean, that's kind of rare
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: here three games in, so it doesn't surprise me if
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are the only team that haven't have done that,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: it's still it's still three games. So again, this is
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: kind of tough to figure out, Okay, your finger on
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: certain things. I think I think four games is a
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: good is a good number for that. I mean it's
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: a month into the season, You've had home games, road games,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: you know, good teams, bad teams, and all all that
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff mixed in. So I think after four
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: games you could really start to decide what's a trend
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: what isn't. And you know, I would be surprised if
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: they go to this game and don't have one. But
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: as for the reason why, you know, it's it's it's
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of it has been the play calling, the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: conservative play calling, really in the red zone. I mean,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes they're not even going for touchdowns, they're not even
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: throwing it, and when they do, it's been you know,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: low percentage passes, you know, on on to the outside.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: So they really haven't been you know, they haven't taken
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of shots down the field as well. So
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's really more of of the the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: conservative play calling when they've gotten down, uh to the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: red zone? All right, last caller Rob in Vegas, Hey,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: what's up Rob?
• 44:00
  Speaker 13: I think defensively, I think we'll dominate RPO quarterbacks give
• 44:06
  Speaker 13: us an issue, and Matt Jones is definitely not that
• 44:11
  Speaker 13: I could care less about Zeke. I'm a cowboy fan,
• 44:14
  Speaker 13: not a players fan. Once you leave, you're the enemy.
• 44:17
  Speaker 12: And I want to.
• 44:18
  Speaker 13: See Dak get back to being a playmaker and less
• 44:22
  Speaker 13: of a game manager. I think he needs to play
• 44:25
  Speaker 13: like he did at Tampa. He keeps telling us I
• 44:27
  Speaker 13: should use my legs more, and he should. I think
• 44:30
  Speaker 13: that's more of his game. And I think the final
• 44:33
  Speaker 13: score is thirty to sixteen. If this defense gives up
• 44:36
  Speaker 13: twenty points or more to the Patriots, then we're in
• 44:40
  Speaker 13: big trouble, okay, because this defense is way too good.
• 44:45
  Speaker 13: That offense is in dynamics, and there should be no
• 44:49
  Speaker 13: reason they give up more than a touchdown or so
• 44:52
  Speaker 13: against the Patriots couple field goals, But I see thirty
• 44:55
  Speaker 13: to sixteen. This has to be a statement game because
• 44:59
  Speaker 13: next week you're going against the bullet So far with
• 45:02
  Speaker 13: the forty nine ers, you cannot lose this game. And
• 45:05
  Speaker 13: then Jeppe and then maybe lose next week because then
• 45:07
  Speaker 13: your season is in big trouble.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree. Thanks thanks for the call. Uh,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: it's early in the season, but but it's not too
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: early to start looking down the road. And you know,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: because what happens is is that you get to a
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: point when you lose, you know, and you don't you
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: don't get the seed that you won, or you miss
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the playoffs or whatever. You'll start going back down, you know,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: to week three, Week two, week six, and go man
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: could have won that one, should have won that one.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: So it's not too early to start thinking these games matter.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: You only play seventeen of them, they all tend to matter.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: And this is one where you're at home. You're facing
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: a quarterback that is is he's not that good. He's
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: really not. He's and he's certainly not mobiles. He's not
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the type of guy that's been running all over the
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: place and all that. You've got to be able to
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: control him. Make him throw the football. Just shore up
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the running game, the run defense, make him go throw
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: the football, and I think good things will happen more
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. I've got My score is twenty three
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: to twenty. It's kind of along the line as some
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: of these others. Of course, Robin vegas Is say if
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: they score twenty, it's not good for the defense. But
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I got them right there at twenty twenty three twenty.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: All right, pod pick is who's gonna score the first touchdown?
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I think it will be Zeke. I think they'll score.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: They'll get down there and Belichick's gonna give it to
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: him and I think he'll get in. That doesn't mean
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: it'll change. It'll be, you know, setting the tones for
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: the game. But I do think Zeke HiT's my pick
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: for the first rushing touchdown of the game for either team.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: All right, it's been a good week here on Cowboys
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: storyline for Chris Beam. I'm Nick Eatman. We will see
• 46:44
