  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Cowboys Storyline,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: brought you by Gillette, the official razor of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman, what's up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: is September, the fifth. Friday. Doesn't feel like a Friday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Doesn't feel like anything right now, kind of numb. It's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a long, long night, long morning. I'm not going to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: complain too much. Chris beams down. This is like show
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: number three for him. Let's talk this thing through. Cowboys
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: lose a tough one twenty four to twenty to the Eagles.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Should they have won? Could they have won? Definitely? I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: know that answer. Should they of one? I think that's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: something we all can debate. But they're they were there,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and you know that. That's why, as I wrote in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: my column that you know, this one hurts because they
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: had it, They had chances, and and you know, you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you put the ball in the hands of your best
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: players and and you you know, you hope it stays there.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And it didn't too many times, and and CD obviously
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: took you know, he took the blame for it, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it was more than just that. But you know, when
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they went up there, the Cowboys went up there, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: thought they they were prepared, scoring touchdowns on the first
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: two drives of the season, running the ball in from
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the one yard line, getting everybody involved. But like we
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: thought with you know, when you trade away Micah Parsons,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: uh and and Kidney Clark is gonna be fine in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the middle. And I thought, you know, they did okay
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: job there, especially in the second half and stopping the run,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: but they they they missed the pass and they're gonna
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: miss that all year long until somebody steps up. But
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't just be sending corner blitzes all
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the time and expect to get home that. You know
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that that was a problem. And I thought it was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: one of the differences in the game. You know, Jalen
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Hurts really he was. He was tough. I mean, the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Eagles are tough. We know that. But I don't know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: We'll well, we'll let you guys decipher on what you think.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You know, from a positive standpoint, on what you saw
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: from the game there there were certainly some positive things
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to take from it. And I and I think when
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you when you talk about a seventeen game season, Uh,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: are they moving in the right direction? And I mean,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you could say that that they
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they they're not so good. First start obviously not what
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you wanted because they had chances to win and they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: didn't make make the plays at the end. All right,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: let's go to the phone. So let's go Zack in Atlanta.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: He's first, Hey, good morning, Nicking Frisco.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm okay, man, I mean, what else is there
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to say but spitty weather, tough, spit Yeah, I mean,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: not to make light of the jailing card thing, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: that's unexcusable, terrible way to start this season. But yeah,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys were given a gift in him being ejected,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and I feel like they were able to run the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: ball for a good bit but just didn't capitalize on
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: that opportunity. And if we're calling this Cowboys storyline, I
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: think the storyline is the drops from CD. He's the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: best player on your team now now that Mic is gone,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: and you expect him to show up. I know he
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: took accountability, he holds himself to that standard, but there
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: were encouraging things. I did not think it was going
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: to be that close, and you know, you would have
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: liked to have that opening night in their house, their
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: super Bowl banner night, and you just didn't seize every opportunity.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: But like you said, long season, the play calling was fun.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: It wasn't vanilla, which I appreciate. And you know, we'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: see we need some help on the pass rush and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: at the linebacking linebacker area overshown as needed. Some of
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the young guys hopefully can step up. But shout out
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to you, Shout out to Beam, Shout out to all
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: y'all doing the pods today because I know it was
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: a long night, so uh, shout out Caws nation. It's
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: going to be a fun year.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Let's do it all right. Thank you, Zach, appreciate that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And you know, week one is always it's always a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: challenge to kind of figure out what you have and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and and and I always you know, you guys have
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: heard it. I always say week two is so important
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: because you really need to, you know, build off of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a win or definitely get a win if you've lost
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the first game. So I'm you know, I'm anxious to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: see that what happens next week against the Giants. It's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's it's an early must win situation in my opinion,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: just because of it with the division, Boy, you really
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: can't go down oh two. But you know when when
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you when you just Zach, you just said, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the linebackers and the pass rush and and and everything.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You know, these are the things that need to be fixed,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and and you might be right. I just want to see,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you know, what happens when you're not facing Jalen Hurts,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley and and DeVante Smith and and A. J.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Brown and Dallas Goddard in an offensive line. That that's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That that's just that's who they are.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're that they're the world champs. And I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: should have put Jahan dottson in there because he made
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest plays of the game, uh there
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: with the in the second quarter with a lunk pass.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's early obviously for the panic
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: button and all that stuff. But you know, I think
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the defense is going to be fine. But but that's fine,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: not not necessarily good enough. I mean, they're gonna be fine,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: but I want to see them really, you know, take
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it to another level and be and be dominant. All right,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: let's go to Anthony and Miami.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Take the quick. What's up, my guy, I'm doing pretty good.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: How you doing, nig All right, I heard your commentary
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: just then, and I think the Cowboys will be fine.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Number One thing, you take a guy like Kenny Clark.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: He made a big difference in that game. And I'm
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: not saying he's going to replace Michaeh. All you needed
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: was a Kenny Clark with Michaeh. That's what makes the
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: defense special, the defensive line. So now you know what
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: you gotta get on the outside of it. You know
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. If you can ever look up into
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: a player like Michael with a Kenny Clark or another
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: guy like that, you got something. I don't believe in
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: moral victories, only when little kids are concerned, So I'm
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: not demoralized.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Though.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: You made second half adjustments. We never do that. We
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: lacking that on defense. You made second half adjustments. You
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: play damn good in the second half. You had a
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: couple of drop balls, you had a fumble, and that
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: kind of turn the tide of the game. Right there,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: you were in the game. You played against the world champs.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Best damn defense almost best defensive line, second best after
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the Giants, maybe offensive line number one. I'm happy at
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: what you did. That My quarterback, my quarterback. You know
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Takes all this stuff. Man, This man
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: stood in the pocket. This man saved the dog on
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: game with a tackle. And this man dropped some dimes
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that you know, A couple of people dropped one ceed
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: he dropped a couple. Okay, that happens. You did it
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: in the first game. You did it against the World champs.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Now let's move forward. You have to beat the Giants.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: You know, the defense is vaunted. The defensive line you
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: pass protect. I think you beat the Giants by ten.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: That's all I gotta say. People, hold your head up,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: hot man. I always did good. Talk to you next week.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Don't disagree with anything that you said there. I mean, well,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: other than I do believe in moral victories. I don't
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: think that's the standard, obviously, but and I think and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Shody said after the game that there are no moral victories.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not arguing with him, but in my my take
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and from what I saw, I felt like it was
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. You
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: know this, Like you said, Anthony said, it's World Champs
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: first game of the season. This is the team that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that that blew you out by thirty points both games
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: last year. Without that, Is that gonna make that much
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: of a difference, is pickings? Is this team is shoddy?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Is all the change is gonna make that much of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a difference? And yeah, I mean it definitely seemed to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: do so. And Jalen Carter is a great player. But
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I mean I still kind of think that that that's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: kind of what it would have been. I mean, it
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: might not they may not have scored on first down
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: from the one yard line, but they're probably gonna score.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So I I think, you know, I look at that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and and and I I talked to a few players
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and they walked out and and you can just see it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You could see it and them nod in their head
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and be like, we're gonna be all right. I talked
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to like two or three of the veteran players. We're
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: all right. So that to me is is I don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: care about that. That that term. We could just throw
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that term out. But I know this morales high, And Anthony,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you said it, you're not demoralized, So morale is high.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Confidence is going to be high going into this Giants game.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And and I think that you know, they, like I said,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I've said it a couple of times, they they did
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: not win the game. We know that. Did they take
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a step forward? I definitely believe so. And I think
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that we all can can tell that that they might
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: have a little something here this year. I mean, you're
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: not You're not going to face an offense with like
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: five different weapons like that. I thought they did. They
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: did a pretty good job, especially in the second half,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you know, holding them to a field goal in the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: second half, you would have that probably would be enough
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to win the game. But the Eagles defense was was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: even better on their own. All right, let's go to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Mike E's in Birmingham, England.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how are you doing good?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: How are you? Mike?
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: I'm good, Thank you. Probably round about as tired as
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: you because I was up in the night in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: night watching it, so probably had a similar amount of
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: sleep to you. And can I just I'll probably speak
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: for most people when I say this, that was so frustrating.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: We were so close and we have them and oh man,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: but that's as negative as I'm going to be because
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: I'm feeling good about what I saw yesterday.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Both things can be true. You can be frustrated and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you can still feel good about the team. But that's why,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that's why you know you're frustrated, because this wasn't about
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: just staying close. This was a chance to win. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, you got to be frustrated by that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: And you know, I heard the tail end of your
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: comments just now about you know, last season and being
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: blown out by thirty points. You know, my expectation of
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: this year, whatever is going to happen at the end
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: of the season, will happen, but my minimum expectation this
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: year is progress. And boy, this is massive progress, you know.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: And if our biggest problem last night was ce D
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Lamb can't catch, well, then I'll take that because c
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: D Lamb, if he stays his whole career with the Cowboys,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: he's going to win US one hundred games. He's not
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: going to have many games like that. So so I'm
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: not worried about c D at all. And you know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: he doesn't need the support of a fifty year old
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Englishman that's never played the game, but he's got it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: CD will be absolutely fine, and I just wanted to
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: say as well, you know, it's inevitable that people were
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: talking about Micah, especially in the first half when we
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: weren't getting through to hurts. You know, would Micah have
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: improved that, probably, But what would have improved it is
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Micah and Kenny Clark in the same team, and that
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: was never an option. And I really liked what I
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: saw in the middle yesterday. I really like the fact
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: sak One is as good as they come a running back,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: and we kept him quiet. So that's all I got.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: I'm feeling good. Bring on the Giants and yeah, let's
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: have a great season.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: All right, Thank you mate, thank you. And you know
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I said, you said, bring on the Giants, and I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: first thought was, well, you know, got to wait a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: little bit. You know, that's that's a good thing. You know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Cowboys had to play early obviously on Thursday night, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: now you get ten days and it seemed too banged up.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe just a CJ. Good one or something like that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And he even came back, you know, so I think
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: they got out of the game pretty clean. So you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: know that that's and then you're right, you have the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Giants game coming up. But I but I think, like
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you know, you're you're saying, I mean, it's okay to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: be to be frustrated by that and ceedee, Lamb's gonna
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: be gonna be fine. But but you know, I I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I thought overall when I look at some of those
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: guys that that that played that that first game, you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: know Kenny Clark, Yeah, that they're gonna be okay stop
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in the run, and it's not always gonna be Barkley.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I said next to Derek Eagleton, like I
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: always do, and we several times maybe five, six, seven
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: times where you know, from our view in the press box,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know it's not bad. It's it's not the best,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: but you know you're you're up there a little bit
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, you see the guys rally the ball,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: they make the tackle and all that, and then he's like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: all right, four yard game, Barkley second six four yards
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: like he it felt like it was one or maybe
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: no gain, but he's so good at just getting extra yards.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: And and on the flip side, Vante Williams did that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a couple of times too, where you know he was
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: getting good yards on first down. But Barkley, man, it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: just so so tough. I mean, sometimes they get him
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: right there as the whole and he still spends and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and you know, jukes here and kind of dips under
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and gets five yards and it's like, you know, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that that that puts their offense in such great shape
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: when that happens. All right, let's go to Erwin. He's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: in Colorado.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Neck.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: How are you doing good?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: I'm doing great.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Hey.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: Just don't want to touch on a couple of things.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: I won't take too long because I know you probably
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: got a lot of callers.
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: But I thought, I really think that all Cowboy fans
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: should really be encouraged for what they saw last night.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: And it wasn't the outcome that we would all like
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: to see.
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: But just a couple of things.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: One thing for sure, I would have loved to see
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: Blue the running back in there instead of Sanders. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: know they're thinking experience and everything, but I just think
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: Blue gives that extra, you know, speed element, and there's
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: no I don't believe he would have been caught from
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: behind like that on that breakaway run. And then the
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: other thing is I really think that the Cowboys need
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: I don't know what's going on with our tight ends.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: But Ferguson should have caught that ball. I know he
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: got popped pretty good, but he actually had his hands
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: on that ball. He really should have scored and caught
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: that that touchdown. You know, I just think our offense
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: is missing that element with a really impact tight end.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Just wanted to get your thoughts on.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: That, all right, Thanks for the for the call. You know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys gave him a pretty nice contract, so he's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the guy at tight end. You know that that's not
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: one I mean, if we're talking about the same play,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the one where they they got flagged for the Eagles
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: got flagged for targeting or hitting a defensives receiver, same thing, really,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: but you know that that was one where I don't
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: really fault him for that. I mean I didn't look
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: at that. I mean mainly I was more like the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: okay alive, I mean, like that was a huge hit.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: But I will say that the tight ends are are
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: that they don't have that dynamic pass catcher. They've got
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: some guys that are that are big and then they're
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: gonna you know, span Forward and spoon Maker both are
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: pretty good in the run game blocking and all that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: But down the seam. I mean that was the play
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that was there several times and Dak went went for
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it and just he just missed a couple of times.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: The ball just needed to be higher. But another point
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you made about Jaden Blue, I mean the knock on
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Jayden Blue in college was that he fumbled. You know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: super fast, pretty good running inside the tackles and willing blocker,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: but he'd have an occasional fumble. Well for him not
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to play. Miles Sanders plays in the game and here
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: he is, gets a forty nine yard run and gets
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: walked by a linebacker and then fund a couple of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: plays later, then you're like, yeah, I can see where
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: everyone would be like, all right, well tell me again
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: why we're not playing Jayden Blue because Miles Sanders is
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: not the veteran back, because you have that in Javonte Williams.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: You need a speed element. And I even said it
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: at one point in the game, this is where I'd
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: like to see Jayden Blue. I've seen you know, I've
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: seen Javontay Williams. I just think that he would he
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: gives you more of that thunder and lightning if you will,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I think Sanders is kind of in between
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: both of them. But I think you've got completely different
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: backs and back to what you had what four or
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: five years ago with Zeke and Tony Pollard, and that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: was a pretty pretty good one two punch because of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: how different they were as runners. And I would imagine
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see Jayden Blue sooner than later. I would.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I would think they probably do it next week. All right,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: let's go, Uh, let's go Christy's in Saratoga Springs, New York. Good.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? Chris?
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: A little tired from last night, has a long game
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: with that delay.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Sure, but you know I want to I'll say this.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: So we're supposed to get in at three fifty five am.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That's when we were supposed to land. How long was
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the delay?
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Hour?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Forty five minutes? Yeah, I mean yeah, we got in.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I mean we landed the four o four. So I
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what happened. I don't know
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: if we we got we were speeding in the air,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it wasn't it wasn't that much
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: of a difference. But anyways, what you got man.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: Definitely encouraged. I want to give a shout out to
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: the coaching staff to be honest, I.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Mean they were that's a first.
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: They were prepped, they were ready to play. You know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: normally I always make an excuse of the coaching and
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: you know they didn't have him ready to play. You know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: shot he had him, He had him ready. The defense
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: made adjustments after the second half, which we never do,
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: so I want to give up definitely a shout out
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: to Shotty. I think he did a great job getting
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: these guys ready. Like all NFL games, it comes down
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: to a couple of plays every game and we make
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: a couple of these plays. See he makes a couple
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: of these catches, you know, the games. It's a different
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: outcome of the game, but definitely encouraged with the coaching
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: aspect of it. I think the defensive line played outstanding
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: in the second half. I also think, you know, coming
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: down the pipe, if we get when we get overshone back,
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: he's going to make a huge different that second game
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: versus Philly because I don't see Hurts doing what he
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: did hurting us that bad with Overshon in the game
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: because he's just yeah, he's a free So I really
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: think getting him back that second game will will definitely
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: help us. Last thing I guess I wanted to point
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: out is Mazzi being inactive. That's a huge telltale for
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: me and him not being active this game. What are
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: your thoughts on him moving forward?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks Chris. You know, in the pregame show,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I asked Stephen Jones that question about Mozzie being inactive,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and Steve and said that we're gonna we're gonna need
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: him throughout the year, you know. I mean, it didn't
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: didn't didn't sound like it was one of those or like,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you know, the fifty third guy on the roster or whatever.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Just thought from this, you know, matchup right now and
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: for this particular game that you know. But I mean,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: let's not let's not mistake the fact that I mean,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Jay Toya is playing, you know, over him, I mean,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: seventh round pick UCLA, he's he's playing in the game.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: He was active. Speaking of that position, I thought Solomon
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Thomas was was very active. I mean as far as
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: just being in there and playing and playing behind the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I mean, he did a nice job.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But if I'm gonna get you know, the you don't
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: give game balls or anything like that. But the the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: guys that that really were impressive to me. I gotta
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: give it up to Trayvon Diggs. I mean, he's he
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: hasn't practiced much at all, and it's been so much
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: has been talked about and the rehab coming back from
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a knee injury and was he gonna be ready? And
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: he wasn't here And he took five hundred thousand dollars
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: hit to you know, of a basically to forego his
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: bonus so he could work out somewhere else. And there
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: was obviously a lot of tension, and of course, you
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: know his best friend on the team seems to be
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Michael Parsons and so you know, all of this kind
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: of hanging on it. Now it's like, focus on Trayvon.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Are're gonna be able to play this game? And you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: know it's a great matchup. And we didn't hear anything
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: about him, and that's a good thing for a corner.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: And I even asked him after the game. I certainly
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: won't repeat what he said, but he basically said, yeah,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the Eagles didn't didn't throw at him much. And I mean,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that's what a great sign that is, because you know,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: cornerback about three weeks ago, You're like, man, who was
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: going to play corner you know, like with this this
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: position doesn't look good at all. But Diggs comes back
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: in and plays the way he did. Diggs elam Bland.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty good trio of corners, maybe even top
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: ten in the in the league as far as you know.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Certainly they're getting paid that way. But but I mean,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I think from one to three at cornerback's that's not bad.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Because if we're really being honest about it, the pass
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: rusher wasn't that great at all in the first half,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and yet they still were holding up and they still
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you know, covered pretty well. So I got to give
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a shout out to Trayvon Diggs. And in the secondary,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I thought I did a pretty good job all right.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Before we go to break, let's go to Rob in Vegas.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: See what Rob has to say.
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, Hey Rob, listen. I better than expected. I thought. Defensively,
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: the defensive line looks different. They weren't getting pushed around.
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: Kneeland played really good, Solomon Thomas, Kenny Clark. I think
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: the outside, I think Fowler missed a few plays, and
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: I think Donovan as Araka, who's not ready yet even
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: in preseason. This is he's playing against men now and
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: I think he you know, just he's a little light.
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: I thought when they put Houston in, yeah, I thought,
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: and Sam william Sam, I thought played it. Yeah, Sam
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: Williams played excellent. Yeah, let's stop with the Damon Clark.
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: Get him off the field. He should only be on
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: special He's not a willing tackler. One thing about Maris
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: lea foul is he may be a smaller linebacker, but
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: he's going to come up and hit you. Uh, that's
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: the guy that should be on the field. I agree.
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: When you hold Saquan to sixty and you hold aj
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: Brown the one catch you you got to win that game. Unfortunately, offensively,
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: I thought Dak foot the ball great. I think he
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: threw the ball so good. I don't know if it
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: caught Ceb. I mean he was dropping the ball when
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: you see it on TV, and it's how the ball
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: would just come right over the I mean, these are
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: tough catches. And I know we talk about preseason, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: to me, a box set doesn't get into the ring.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: He spas first. These guys are now playing full speed.
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: They've seen colors flash across their eyes. They they're in
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: especially a couple of CD plays where it's in the
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: middle of the field there's people around, And did they
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: lose because of that? I think so? Now coaching, I
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: wanted I got it. Listen, I thought Schottenheimer called the
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: good game until three minutes and then I think he panicked.
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: With three minutes left and two three timeouts, they stay panicked.
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: They should have ran the ball some. They were running
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: the ball good. I think Williams to me, he looked
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: really good since I had never seen him, you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: I thought he looked really good, and I think he
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: panicked a little bit. I think they could have ran
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: the ball more.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny that you're you're talking three minutes
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ago in the game, right, Yes, Yeah, I actually really
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: hated the calls three minutes to go in the first half.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't like the way they passed past past to me,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: could because the Eels went right down and got a touchdown.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: And I to me, I'm looking at that like, hey,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you've you've got to make sure that you you get
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to the two minute warning. Run run, run, And they
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: didn't do that. So yeah, both of those, but you
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: know that, I mean, I'm not we don't give any excuses.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: But but you know, like you said, and and it's
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: not always it's not excuses, it's just it's just the reason,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: uh that that certain things are the way they are.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But I mean his first game, calling the plays and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: all the emotions in there. Yeah, there's going to be
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: some issues. But I thought overall, I thought, you know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I got to give credit to the way Shoddy had you.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: Look to me, the difference in the game is Jalen
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: Hurts versus Dak. And the difference is Jalen Hurts will
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: use everything in his toolbox. His legs is what won
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: the game. Yes, Dak doesn't run. We hear it. He's
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: gonna say I'm gonna run more. They may practice like
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: he's going to run more, but he does not, And
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: so that's that makes it easier. On the defense. That
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: was the whole difference of the game. We would get
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: close to Jail and he break out and he's a stout. Guys,
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: you're not going to bang into him and he's gonna
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: fall down. And I and I just think that's what
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: makes him so good. He's not a great thrower of
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: the ball, but all around, he's just gonna do whatever
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: it takes to get the job done. And as the
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: Cowboy said, I hate that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I know, Rob. I remember when you guys came out
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to training camp and uh and I remember sitting now,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: we were kind of all, you know, at night at
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: one of those one of those establishments out there knox NARDA.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: You said, you know where I'm going with this, right,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: You said that if they didn't if they played, you know, well,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: even if they don't win, you're you're going to be encouraged.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: And I mean what you were saying then, and all
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the people around you were surprised to hear you say that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: But what you described was pretty much how it played
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: out last night. Don't do you agree?
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: Yes, I thought they were going to lose by at
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: least ten. I thought they were the better team all around,
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: and I think that's probably why they're pissed. I thought
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: they were the better team. Not Jalen Hurts was the
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: only one that was really hurting us, even Saquon I
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: thought they controlled him. I thought Dak I thought they
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: were a better team. Now, obviously it's on the week one,
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: and we always, you know, let's see what happened to
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: week two. But I'm encouraged. Listen, I'm a fan. I
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: got sixteen more weeks of this. I gotta be encouraged.
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: But I am, I'm truly am. I'm not just being sad, No,
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: I'm they were better then I thought. I think the
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: pass rush. I think Sam Williams needs to be your guy,
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: and I think Donovan you need to put him in.
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: But he can't be on the end as much. He's
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: just a little too light in the pants, you know
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: what I mean.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well he'll he'll, you know, he'll, he'll get there.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I think over over time, and yeah, I see the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: same thing. It might be the number two forty one
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: just seems like, I mean, it just seems like now
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: it's Terrence Newman, just right off the edge. All right, Ron,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call. I know everybody wants to hear
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: from you, and I figured that you would. You would
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: kind of have those sentiments there about about you know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: obviously chances to win, should have won and not played
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: him at times. But and so that's why it kind
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: of stings. But still when you big picture wise, it's good.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Let's take a break here. We got captain on the line,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: so we're going to get to him in just a second.

  Speaker 1: It looked different, felt different. The result wasn't. They still
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: lost the game, but it still had those vibes of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the last time the Cowboys played that Thursday game against
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the defending champions, and they did that in Tampa Bay.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: And another you know, similar aspect to that was when
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Dak was coming back from from an injury
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in that game and missed, you know, most of the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: season and that was his first game back and he
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: played great and they lost the game at the end,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: but they went on and they had that look in
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: their eye. You could just tell when they're walking off
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the field, they were like, all right, we got we
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: let that one step away, but we're gonna be all right.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I felt the same thing last night. Now, are they
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: gonna go win five in a row like that team did?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, sure would be nice. Looking at the schedule,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it and it's it's possible. I mean
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: it really is. I mean you play like that, you
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: know they'll let let's get to the schedule. I got
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I got Dylan in Northport, Florida. That's holding Dylan? What's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that man?
• 32:15
  Speaker 14: And yeah, I was holding better than Vincidia was onto
• 32:18
  Speaker 14: those passes last night. You know that one. It hurts
• 32:22
  Speaker 14: because that's the kind of game expectations out the window.
• 32:25
  Speaker 14: You know, they definitely played better than I think a
• 32:27
  Speaker 14: lot of us expected. But that's the kind of game
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: that you steal and at the end of the year
• 32:30
  Speaker 14: you look back and you're like, thank God, because you
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: know we're fighting for the NFC East. We're fighting for
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: second seed instead of you know, six or seventh seed,
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: and it's like those are the kind of games where
• 32:39
  Speaker 14: it's like, man, I seed, He's called a couple of passes,
• 32:42
  Speaker 14: we'd be in much better position at the end of
• 32:43
  Speaker 14: the year. You know, Shody, I know some people had
• 32:47
  Speaker 14: issues and I haven't been listening, so maybe some people
• 32:49
  Speaker 14: have given us some credit. But Shaddy does so much
• 32:52
  Speaker 14: credit to him and the play calling as far as
• 32:55
  Speaker 14: just i'll call him Big Cojone's plays right, like just
• 32:58
  Speaker 14: having the guts on thirty and one or only in
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: the game to go deep to Pickens. That sets the
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: tone and you obviously do the p I in that play.
• 33:05
  Speaker 14: That sets the tone for not just this game, but
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: hopefully the whole season where Okay, you want to single
• 33:09
  Speaker 14: up either CD or or or Pickens. I don't care
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: what the down and distances, We're gonna shuck it up
• 33:14
  Speaker 14: because it's a good chance to get p I, good
• 33:16
  Speaker 14: chance to make a catch. And hopefully we see more
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: of that throughout the season. They ran the ball well.
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: And if you told me too defensively that they held
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: Barkley to fifty yards or so, Diggs gave up Diggs
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: and Blands gave up of eleven yards combined. Smith and
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: Brown had what I think it was, it was less
• 33:37
  Speaker 14: than twenty yards combined. And you know, we lose the game.
• 33:40
  Speaker 14: You basically lost because Jalen Hurst converted a bunch of
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: third downs in the first half. That's that's one of
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: the big stories of the game, and that was it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: And you know, you can't just put a spy on
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: him because now you're giving up a player to cover
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: the other guys. So I get somewhat the understanding that
• 33:54
  Speaker 14: of what we were doing on defensive to the defense
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: the defensive side schematically sorry, but at a certain point
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: I would have personally put uh Leafou in the game
• 34:04
  Speaker 14: to have him spy maybe, because that's that's what you're
• 34:07
  Speaker 14: getting beat. So you got to at some point address that,
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: and they did there in the second half, but I
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: would have put him over Murray or Sanborn in the
• 34:13
  Speaker 14: first half. I think when you know, Hurts kept runner
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: for these first downs. But listen, I'm more optimistic for
• 34:17
  Speaker 14: the season moving forward. I need to go back and
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: look at the schedule to see who they're playing, to
• 34:22
  Speaker 14: see what these next five weeks look like. But if
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: this offense plays like that, man, I'm excited.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: It's very excited.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks Dylan, And guess what I have the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: schedule right here. I was gonna I was gonna talk
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: about it. You know, It's funny how one game can
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: kind of change your approach a little bit, and and
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: every game is going to be different. There's going to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: be some in there that that really surprised you. That
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: one was a surprise too. But when you look at
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: you know, can this team get off to a good start? Yeah, yeah,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that was a that was a loss there against Philly.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: You got the Giants at home. That's you got to win.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: You have to win that game and and the probably
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: should win. Well, we don't know what the Giants are
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: gonna do yet. I know they're gonna have a pretty
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: good pass rush, but I you know that that's a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: game at home. You gotta win at Chicago. You know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Chicago and the Cowboys are probably you know, gonna be
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: those teams that are fighting for for wild card spots.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: You know, it's still early, but I'm just saying that's
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: kind of what's being projected. And then you know, I
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know this, but September twenty eighth,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the Packers come to town. You know, I don't know
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: if you've heard that or at all, and they have,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: you know, a new player over there, and assuming he
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: can get over that that nagging back injury, but I
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: have a feeling he's gonna be fine. And but that's
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a game, you know, you gotta win that one, and
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. But I mean that that's one
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that that still think they have a shot after seeing
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: what you what you saw there. If you break down
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the schedule, Giants at home, at the Bears, Packers at home,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: and then at the Jets, at the Panthers, so you know,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: and then Washington and home and at Broncos and Arizona
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and at the Raiders all the way up until you
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: play the Eagles again. So you know, seeing what we
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: saw there, the standard is now is now high. It's like,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: if you want to say moral victory, that's fine, but
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: you don't get two. You get the one, and now
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: it's like, all right, should have won you lost, but
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that doesn't happen again. Now it's like, we know what
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you can do. It's like when you when you finally
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: when you finally had a great report card after a while,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm speaking from experience, and you finally
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: say all right, I'm focused in and you have a
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: good six weeks, nine weeks whatever. Well, you know, that's
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: kind of the standard now and now that they know
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: you can do it, so that's what you get help to,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: and that's where I think this team's gonna get held
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to as well. All right, let's go to Josh in Princeton, Texas. Josh, Hey, Nick,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: I'm doing pretty good. This is my second time coln Okay,
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: you just want to share my thoughts on the game,
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: and yeah, go for it. So I'm encouraged by the
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: offensive line play and just the offense in general. It
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: seems to me that the offense looks a little more modern.
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: I don't know if if the way they're lining up,
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: the motions, stuff like that. So I'm excited about that.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: Sure we can blame the Miles standards fumble or the
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: CEE the drops, but I think the game came down
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: to not being able to contain the scrambles from hurts yep.
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: And you know, I think it just boils down to that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: I mean, they figured something out after the weather's delay,
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: you know, by sending the pressure, but I think it
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: just came down to not being able to stop him.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: One thing I am worried about is I don't think
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: the linebackers played particularly well. I need to see more
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: from Kenneth Murray and Jack Sambourne, Like I felt like
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: they were out of the play too much in the
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: late I saw the one stiff for him, said Murray, Guy,
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: you just got obliterated, you know, by sake one. But
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: I think we need to get better at lineberk. I
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: think they need they need overshrown more than ever. So
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: hopefully he can get back. But uh yeah, I just
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: wanted to share my thoughts.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Josh, I appreciate it. Let's give an
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: update on Overshewn. I mean, obviously he won't be able
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: to do anything for the first four games. Uh he's
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: on you know, injured reserved reserved to return, so he
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: will not be able to come back until at least
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the October fifth at the Jets game. That's the earliest
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: he can come back, and I'm not I'm not sure
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: if if that's gonna gonna happen for him, uh that early.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see how it goes, you know.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm just I'm reluctant to see good and bad,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I think. But but in this case, I'm reluctant to
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: say the linebacker you know, didn't play as well. That's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: that's a really challenging matchup, you know, with the way
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: the way the Eagles play, I mean, you have to
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that's built like a running back.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: They basically have two Saquon Barkleys, but one of them throws.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: That's basically what you have to do against them. And
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: then you know, you get all the receivers locked up
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and out of that. And then Dallas Goddard goes seven
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: catches on seven targets. I mean, whenever they wanted to,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: they could get get the ball to him. He didn't
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: go crazy. It was forty four yards, but some of
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: them were you know, first down catches, and they move
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the sticks and so I think let's just wait on
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: the linebackers. But I mean before we say, oh, you know,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: it's one game and all, and the same goes with
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: the other side. Cowboys offensive line didn't give up a sack. Well,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles lost their best player right before
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: the game, and we'll see, we'll see what happened, you know,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: because next week. I know this, when you get to
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: third and you know, if you if you don't run
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the ball early and you get in a third and
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: long situation against the Giants. I mean, across the board,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can name all of them,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: but the guy they just drafted, Carter Thibodeau. I mean,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: they got Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns. I mean, they got
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: guys right, So that's gonna be a challenge too. And
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get ahead to the Giants. All
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is, you know, let's just like I'm saying,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: let's let's hold off before we panic too much about linebackers.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Some of the good things that we saw too that
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: we're encouraged about. Let's let's wait and see. It's just
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: one game, both sides of the ball, all right. Let's
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: go to break real quick here, get one more break
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: in and we'll be right back after this.

• 42:30
  Speaker 1: to the phone lines again. Michael Bolden, Green, Kentucky.
• 42:35
  Speaker 16: Can you yet the cornerback room, indeed in bad shape,
• 42:43
  Speaker 16: was exaggerated. The run games not gonna do good against
• 42:48
  Speaker 16: Eagles exaggerated, the run defense exaggerated. Dak looked like mid
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: season four from two or three years ago. That dude
• 43:01
  Speaker 16: is ripped down. My gosh, he didn't need to play
• 43:05
  Speaker 16: any preseason. If we went toe to Toads defending world champs,
• 43:10
  Speaker 16: we had the ball on the last drive where we
• 43:14
  Speaker 16: could have won the game. It just didn't go our way.
• 43:19
  Speaker 16: But this whole these sports writers saying all Dallas the
• 43:23
  Speaker 16: only gonna win seven, six, seven, eight games over exaggerated.
• 43:30
  Speaker 16: I give us a twelve. That's that's what I took
• 43:33
  Speaker 16: from that game. I would have loved to win, but
• 43:36
  Speaker 16: I enjoyed the truth. I mean, twenty one to twenty
• 43:39
  Speaker 16: in the first half and then three to nothing in
• 43:41
  Speaker 16: a second.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: I mean I liked it all right.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, yeah, it's a first game of the year,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: and now I think, to be fair, I mean, what
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: if the Eagle suck. I mean, we don't know that.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I mean I doubt it, but I'm just saying, what
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: if it comes out that they're not as good? I mean,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: we we just don't know that. It's one game. I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: don't think they they do. I think I think they're
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be a good team. But from what it
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: looks like, I think the Cowboys have chances to be
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: to be really good too. But they're gonna have they
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: need some of these guys to take that next step.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: I said Diggs, and you mentioned Diggs. I think we
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: we also need to talk about Tyler Geiton. I thought
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Geyiton played a really good game yesterday. Yeah, he played well,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: especially for a guy who didn't practice much and looked
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: like maybe he was gonna be out for the season
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: and to come back and play that first game was
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: a shocker that he was even ready and he played well,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: and I saw I saw like that dog, you know,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: mentality for him. I didn't always see that as rookie
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: year saw that more so, I think the offensive line
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: is gonna be gonna be pretty good. I I I
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: hear the enthusiasm, and I agree with you. I'm just saying,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: it's one game we gotta be you know, I gotta
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: be careful on both sides of the ball. If we're saying, oh,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: you know, the cowboy was gonna win more game, well,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: they also have to make sure make the plays. I mean,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: they were there and that was that's a step up.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they got blown out twice last year. They
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: didn't get blown out. They went toe to toe like
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: you said, but they still got to make the plays
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game. And when your best
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: player is the one that that didn't make the play,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I mean that that's not a great sign. But I
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: have a feeling he's going to be better than that,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I definitely do. So that's that's at least
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: somewhat encouraging. Let's go to the Sergeant Suiese in Fort Worth.
• 45:35
  Speaker 17: What's going on with surready's everybody good, really good?
• 45:39
  Speaker 10: Hey?
• 45:40
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean I share the same sentiments. There's a
• 45:42
  Speaker 17: lot of people regarding the game last night. One thing
• 45:45
  Speaker 17: that I do want to point out, something that you've
• 45:47
  Speaker 17: already pointed out, is the three minute offense.
• 45:50
  Speaker 11: Man.
• 45:50
  Speaker 17: You know, we were in the group chat last night
• 45:51
  Speaker 17: and I was just like, why did we decided to
• 45:53
  Speaker 17: abandon the run here? I thought we were doing pretty
• 45:55
  Speaker 17: phenomenally running the ball. I mean, it could be tailored
• 45:59
  Speaker 17: by expectations, because I don't know whether a lot of
• 46:01
  Speaker 17: us expected us to run the ball really well, but
• 46:03
  Speaker 17: we were and it got me excited. You I mean,
• 46:06
  Speaker 17: one thing that I did like is the defensive adjustment.
• 46:10
  Speaker 16: You know what I mean.
• 46:11
  Speaker 17: I don't think Eberflush is really a blitz type of guy,
• 46:13
  Speaker 17: but he realized that, you know, we weren't getting home.
• 46:16
  Speaker 17: He realized that, you know, we needed to make an adjustment,
• 46:18
  Speaker 17: and he did and it was a very great adjustment
• 46:21
  Speaker 17: in game adjustment. And that's something that coaching staffs of
• 46:24
  Speaker 17: the past, you know, maybe you don't really necessarily see that.
• 46:27
  Speaker 17: I know that, you know, Shody coming in, you know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 17: it's a really awesome thing to kind of see him
• 46:33
  Speaker 17: and his game plan and his vision kind of come
• 46:35
  Speaker 17: to fruition and things start to work really well. And
• 46:38
  Speaker 17: I want to say just one thing, you know, for
• 46:40
  Speaker 17: anybody listening that, like, if you need any more reason
• 46:44
  Speaker 17: to kind of be excited about Shoddy and kind of
• 46:47
  Speaker 17: have faith in him, I want to point out that
• 46:49
  Speaker 17: I think it was last week he was having one
• 46:51
  Speaker 17: of his press conferences and he was saying that how
• 46:53
  Speaker 17: he had taught, he had talked to the team and
• 46:56
  Speaker 17: he had to let him know like he kind of
• 46:58
  Speaker 17: fired them up and you know, we're going to the
• 46:59
  Speaker 17: EG was defending champs and this is that, and you know,
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: like you know, did all this extra theatrics, and then
• 47:05
  Speaker 17: that he said that he went home and he laid
• 47:07
  Speaker 17: down in bed and he thought to himself, like what
• 47:09
  Speaker 17: am I doing? I mean, like, this is just another game.
• 47:12
  Speaker 17: And the reason why that excites me is because you
• 47:15
  Speaker 17: know coaching staffs. You know, coaches not only are they
• 47:17
  Speaker 17: always evaluating their teammates. I mean, I'm sorry, there are players,
• 47:20
  Speaker 17: but I think that was the indication that he's always
• 47:22
  Speaker 17: constantly evaluating himself. And if that is any indication of
• 47:25
  Speaker 17: what's to come from him and his self evaluation, and
• 47:28
  Speaker 17: his willingness to be like, you know what, maybe I
• 47:30
  Speaker 17: was wrong in handling this situation that way. Maybe I
• 47:32
  Speaker 17: was wrong in handling that this situation this way. Then
• 47:35
  Speaker 17: maybe he's gonna look back at the film and he's
• 47:37
  Speaker 17: going to be able to not have pride and reevaluate
• 47:39
  Speaker 17: and understand like, hey, I have a lot of room
• 47:40
  Speaker 17: to grow. And I think that's something that shot he
• 47:42
  Speaker 17: had talked about a lot. But I think that he
• 47:44
  Speaker 17: has a really great opportunity right now to show us that.
• 47:47
  Speaker 17: And and I'm a full believer of it. Man. So
• 47:50
  Speaker 17: you know, I told, I told you I thought it
• 47:52
  Speaker 17: was gonna be thirty twenty seven. I knew that, you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 17: I said, Dak his daddy, you know what I mean?
• 47:56
  Speaker 10: For the NFC East.
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: Unfortunately it didn't.
• 47:58
  Speaker 17: It didn't come out that way. But I wasn't too
• 48:00
  Speaker 17: too surprised by a whole lot of it.
• 48:02
  Speaker 18: Man.
• 48:02
  Speaker 17: I'm still really optimistic about the team. I always tell
• 48:05
  Speaker 17: the group chat man, my delusion is delicious. I'm gonna
• 48:07
  Speaker 17: keep on eating it, man. So no cowboys, I appreciate
• 48:09
  Speaker 17: you taking my car by all appreciate that.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Let's go to one more caller here, Greg and Sacramento.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: He's next.
• 48:18
  Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, I'm going.
• 48:22
  Speaker 18: You know, I'm I'm I'm very frustrated, yet somehow optimistic.
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: Still.
• 48:29
  Speaker 18: I do like what I what I saw that in
• 48:32
  Speaker 18: some of the things in that game yesterday, that that
• 48:34
  Speaker 18: initial drive, that first drive where they just ran Johnson
• 48:39
  Speaker 18: Williams ran down the field and you know, they went
• 48:42
  Speaker 18: down and scored. That was an awesome drive. I feel
• 48:45
  Speaker 18: like we have not seen that in sometimes from the Cowboys.
• 48:50
  Speaker 18: It did get a little frustrating though, that they didn't
• 48:53
  Speaker 18: continue to run in certain instances.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 48:56
  Speaker 18: I would say, like both at the end of the
• 48:58
  Speaker 18: half and that end of the game, We're I mean,
• 49:02
  Speaker 18: we're running so well. I don't know why they didn't
• 49:04
  Speaker 18: just at least run a little bit more with with
• 49:07
  Speaker 18: Javonte Maybe the fumble from Miles Sanders kind of scared
• 49:10
  Speaker 18: him a little bit or something. I'm not sure, but
• 49:13
  Speaker 18: I did like what I saw. I like what I
• 49:15
  Speaker 18: saw from the defense, So, like I said, I am
• 49:18
  Speaker 18: so optimistic. I do have one question for you, though,
• 49:21
  Speaker 18: If you know Jalen Hurts was kind of killing us
• 49:24
  Speaker 18: over the legs, do you know why the coaching staff
• 49:26
  Speaker 18: wouldn't pun't maybe put like a spy on him or something.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Understand My understanding about the spy is that, I mean,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: you you can't. It's hard to do that with Philadelphia
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: because Jalen Hurts isn't trying to run. He's trying to
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: make plays down the field throwing the ball. But if
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: he has to, he will. He's not trying to actually
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: say I'm going to go out there and find, you know,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: find a running lane and go. He's trying to stand
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: in the pocket. So if you put a spy on him,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: he's that's fine. He leah foul whoever it is. He
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: could just stay there. But that means he's not guarding
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the running back out of the backfield. He's not guarding
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the tight end. I mean, they teams have done that,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and you can try to do that, but but you
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: also are taking away a player off the middle of
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: the field for that. And so that's why they're good.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's why they have a running
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: back that went for two thousand yards. They've got a
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: wide receiver that looks like a linebacker and a J.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Brown DeVante Smith Heisman Trophy, you know type player, and
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: he's number two receiver, and you know they they've they've
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: just got weapons and got it. It's a really good
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: complimentary player too, So you know, I'm not saying that
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: maybe they shouldn't have mixed it up, and they did
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: mix it up a little bit, but that's what you
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: give up when you go for the spot. You give
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: that up. Now, I'll say one point I wanted to
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: make really from sergeants who was saying calling about the preparation.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: What I you know, last year to the Cowboys, I
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: think they scored one or two touchdowns all year long.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: In the first drive of the game and also coming
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: out of the of halftime, they just didn't look prepared
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: at times. This team comes out scores the first two
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: times of the game, scored their first four possessions, and
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: then in the third quarter, I mean they didn't score,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: but Miles Sanders goes fifty yards and they're down there
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, they ended up fumbling the ball. They're
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: probably gonna get a field goal, maybe even a touchdown,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: and probably could have scored right right right there. I
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: don't put that on the preparation or you know, the adjustments.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: So coming out of the out of the half and
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: out of the game, they they you know, move the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: ball and had chances to score. And that is encouraging
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: for me. So all right, great, great calls for you guys.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I know it was a tough night, frustration, but also
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: you know in encouraging as well. It's gonna be a
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: long season. I mean not to say that in a
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: bad way. I mean, football season is a long season.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: It's fun. We get to do this sixteen more times
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: at least, so it's we've got a long ways to go.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: But as I said several times, you know, tough, tough
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: way to lose a game, even tougher when you know
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: that you had a chance to win. But having that
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: chance to win against that football team, uh, in that circumstance,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: to me, that shows growth for where where what we've
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: seen last year to this year, and I think everybody's
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: deep down is pretty excited about what this team could
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: be this year. All right, great stuff for Chris Beam.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eeman will we will see you Monday on
• 52:27
