- 2:37Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I just want to say hello
- 2:39Speaker 6: to Nate. It's I wanted to talk to you, sir.
- 2:41Speaker 6: Think if you want to. We talked about the most
- 2:43Speaker 6: underrated cowboys of all time. You're sitting rap beside one
- 2:46Speaker 6: right now.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Don't don't disagree. Don't disagree.
- 2:51Speaker 6: You ain't lying, Nate. We love you. So. Uh. I

- 3:00Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, shooting get up? Yeah?
- 3:05Speaker 3: What do you what do you just post people up?
- 3:07Speaker 6: What?
- 3:07Speaker 5: He now? Man? I really just was running up and down, laughing,
- 3:10Speaker 5: having fun.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Maybe just joking with the fans a lot every now
- 3:12Speaker 2: and then I take a shot something like that. But
- 3:15Speaker 2: I mean it was definitely entertainment of it.
- 3:17Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:17Speaker 6: Yes, I was told you could dunk back in the day.
- 3:21Speaker 5: Is that I could? Yes? Yes, it must have.
- 3:25Speaker 6: Been like a building playing through the air.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Now I don't know what it was like, man, But
- 3:29Speaker 2: the years later he needs he needs a paint for yeah.
- 3:33Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 3:34Speaker 6: So two questions, first, serious one about the team. Of
- 3:40Speaker 6: course you can answer both when I go off the phone,
- 3:44Speaker 6: what do we need to do to improve this line play?
- 3:46Speaker 6: Because right now, man, it ain't cutting it. And the
- 3:50Speaker 6: other question is with Eric Williams, as mean as everybody
- 3:54Speaker 6: said he was.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, Joe, appreciate that. Let's start there.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Eric Williams.
- 4:00Speaker 2: He was our tempo setter. He was the guy that
- 4:03Speaker 2: came and changed the way we played football. We were
- 4:07Speaker 2: just a decent teams as football players. I'm talking about
- 4:10Speaker 2: the offensive line were just good. But when Eric got here,
- 4:14Speaker 2: the physicality went up two notches. We went We went
- 4:18Speaker 2: to just a good run blocking team to dominating physical
- 4:24Speaker 2: past blocking and run blocking. We were brutal. We were brutal,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and Eric william changed that attitude.
- 4:30Speaker 5: One of my.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Favorite things about him, and I only covered him for
- 4:32Speaker 3: a year or two, but like the in the locker
- 4:35Speaker 3: room all week long, he would wear a cap. I
- 4:37Speaker 3: don't know if he did this when you were playing
- 4:39Speaker 3: all the time, but he would wear a cap of
- 4:41Speaker 3: the team they were playing. He'd wear like the Eagles
- 4:44Speaker 3: cap all week long, forty nine Ers cap. It just
- 4:47Speaker 3: got him in that mindset of our I don't know.
- 4:50Speaker 2: It was kind it's backwards, but it was Michael Jordan
- 4:53Speaker 2: just a reason to build dislike. You know, I don't
- 4:56Speaker 2: want to use the word hate, but you know, Eric
- 4:58Speaker 2: was one of the guys, you know, and I tell
- 5:00Speaker 2: a quick story if you don't mind. He I remember
- 5:04Speaker 2: I was the right tackle. Then Jimmy just came in
- 5:07Speaker 2: and gave him my job. It's like Eric is right tackle. Wow, okay,
- 5:11Speaker 2: thanks coach. But anyway, we was watching film on I
- 5:16Speaker 2: think a great the guard. Yeah yeah, yeah, I stabbed
- 5:20Speaker 2: Kevin Gogan in his back and got my job back
- 5:22Speaker 2: at left tackle, left guard. But we was playing a
- 5:25Speaker 2: great defensive on end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He
- 5:28Speaker 2: played with Derreck Thomas back in the day. You probably
- 5:30Speaker 2: can remember his name as I go along. But he
- 5:33Speaker 2: was long arms and everything, and he was like they
- 5:35Speaker 2: helped me with the you know, he was studying film.
- 5:37Speaker 5: So I was telling him about.
- 5:38Speaker 2: The guy this, this and this, and he looked at
- 5:40Speaker 2: me and he's like, man, I ain't saying what you're saying.
- 5:44Speaker 2: He said this dude, he's I can't use the words
- 5:47Speaker 2: he used. You know, he's a I'm gonna beat that, Okay.
- 5:52Speaker 5: I said, all right, all right, did you take this
- 5:55Speaker 5: dude lightly?
- 5:56Speaker 2: He said about halftime, I'm gonna look over at you
- 5:58Speaker 2: say I got him. Man, you heard him over there
- 6:01Speaker 2: just tussling and fighting. I mean during the game, I
- 6:03Speaker 2: mean just going at it. He going to the dude
- 6:06Speaker 2: going to the ref. I wish I can remember his name,
- 6:08Speaker 2: and they just going to the ref.
- 6:10Speaker 5: He can't do this. You can't jam me in the eyes.
- 6:12Speaker 5: He can't snatch my face mask, you can't do this.
- 6:14Speaker 5: By halftime.
- 6:15Speaker 2: When we came out of the third quarter, middle of
- 6:18Speaker 2: the third quarter, Big he looked over at.
- 6:19Speaker 5: Me and say he got him. That was his favorite thing.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Once he felt he had dominated a player and got
- 6:25Speaker 2: the mind totally locked in on him, that.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Was his favorite thing. Got him. That was over. I mean,
- 6:30Speaker 5: I wish I can think of his name. We'll get it.
- 6:32Speaker 3: We'll get it here in the second here probably the Chiefs,
- 6:35Speaker 3: I would imagine they played him then. So that was
- 6:38Speaker 3: probably his first year of really starting started. Yes, okay,
- 6:42Speaker 3: to fix this offensive line. What what are you seeing
- 6:45Speaker 3: from from this grip? They got all their guys back,
- 6:47Speaker 3: but it's still it's not clicking just yet.
- 6:49Speaker 2: What do you what are you seeing that you got
- 6:51Speaker 2: a bunch of guys that are banged up and hurt,
- 6:54Speaker 2: and uh, and I preached year and the year out.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I don't like best five. I like content annuity that
- 7:00Speaker 2: comes before anything. You can take an average offensive line
- 7:04Speaker 2: and make them great if they're all on the same page,
- 7:07Speaker 2: knowing where their help coming from, knowing where their weakness
- 7:10Speaker 2: is at. And this, we got a right tackle that's
- 7:12Speaker 2: coming off of ACL. We got a right guard as uh,
- 7:16Speaker 2: we got a banged up knee. We got a center
- 7:18Speaker 2: that's got a hamstring and an ankle, so that that
- 7:22Speaker 2: is hurting. And just Ages got our left tackle. Ages's
- 7:27Speaker 2: baling our left tackle. So uh, they haven't played together
- 7:30Speaker 2: long enough and and individually they just banged up.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Well, this goes to the we have a text line
- 7:36Speaker 3: question from Doug and Florida. He wants to know your
- 7:38Speaker 3: opinion on what does it seem like there are more
- 7:41Speaker 3: injuries in the NFL now than when you play it.
- 7:43Speaker 2: It just seems that way because uh, it is, and
- 7:49Speaker 2: it seems that way. They we don't prepare our kids,
- 7:52Speaker 2: our young men to play football anymore. Uh you we
- 7:57Speaker 2: would ramp up two a day's active back to back.
- 8:01Speaker 2: The physical part of it, the mental part of it
- 8:04Speaker 2: now is like, first of all.
- 8:07Speaker 5: Okay, he makes too much money.
- 8:09Speaker 2: It ain't that he needs to get in shape, it
- 8:11Speaker 2: ain't that he needs to be a better football player.
- 8:14Speaker 2: We just can't play him because he makes too much money.
- 8:17Speaker 3: That ain't risk it. Like you're talking about preseason.
- 8:20Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't risk So how do you get him better? Yeah?
- 8:24Speaker 2: I mean a lot of coaches try to make practice
- 8:27Speaker 2: a number one priority, but you still have veteran rest days.
- 8:33Speaker 7: Now.
- 8:33Speaker 2: It's hunting us now by us having a right guard
- 8:37Speaker 2: that held out for his money, a left guard a
- 8:40Speaker 2: left tackle that just an older gentleman, you know, and
- 8:43Speaker 2: then we had the right tackle who's coming off of
- 8:45Speaker 2: acl the continuity. I preach it, and I will continue
- 8:49Speaker 2: to preach at some point as a coach. You have
- 8:52Speaker 2: to practice your guys. You have to get some type
- 8:55Speaker 2: of physicalness in there. That's why I think you should
- 8:57Speaker 2: give him a quarter each preseason game. Not not in
- 9:00Speaker 2: a whole lot, just a quarter together. I mean, then
- 9:03Speaker 2: I know it in one hundred miles an hour.
- 9:05Speaker 5: But you should do it.
- 9:06Speaker 3: All right, sounds good, All right, good stuff. Let's go
- 9:09Speaker 3: to Stan in Birmingham. That's I think this is the
- 9:12Speaker 3: first time caller.
- 9:12Speaker 8: Stan, Hey, how you doing?
- 9:15Speaker 9: Nick? And Nate?
- 9:16Speaker 5: How are you doing?
- 9:17Speaker 6: I'm doing great.
- 9:18Speaker 8: Nick. I've been listening to you guys ever since back
- 9:20Speaker 8: in the.
- 9:20Speaker 3: DA days you and Okay, yeah.
- 9:23Speaker 8: Bring it, And they'd been watching you all your career
- 9:28Speaker 8: with Cowboys. And I appreciate I appreciate those super Bowls.
- 9:31Speaker 8: The fans is nineteen seventy five.
- 9:33Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 9:34Speaker 8: Hey, So I got two takes that I want to
- 9:36Speaker 8: get you guys, One for you, Nick and one for
- 9:38Speaker 8: you date. All right, So, Nick, I think one of
- 9:40Speaker 8: the things that make me uneasy about the Cowboys now
- 9:43Speaker 8: for the last seventy ten years is that when we
- 9:46Speaker 8: cut a veteran player like we did the markets from
- 9:49Speaker 8: the way we move on from bed, we move on
- 9:51Speaker 8: from the we don't replace them, or we don't replace
- 9:55Speaker 8: we don't use that money for something else. And I
- 9:58Speaker 8: think that that's one of the things that holding us back. Like,
- 10:01Speaker 8: so if we go back and look at all those releases,
- 10:04Speaker 8: is like the next year, we didn't use that money
- 10:06Speaker 8: for anything else. We didn't go get an impact player,
- 10:09Speaker 8: even at that position or somewhere else. I would love
- 10:11Speaker 8: to hear your take on that. And then and they
- 10:13Speaker 8: for you like, okay, if we move on from Zeke, uh,
- 10:18Speaker 8: you know, and I thought I didn't think Zeke was washed.
- 10:20Speaker 8: But if we move on from Zeke, there we have
- 10:23Speaker 8: Tony Taller as a bell cow. Then where's our hammer?
- 10:27Speaker 8: I think we lost both. I think we lost the
- 10:29Speaker 8: hammer and rightening because now that Tony Paula has to
- 10:32Speaker 8: be the bell cow, we don't have his finesse and
- 10:35Speaker 8: his quick strike ability like we did because he's he's
- 10:39Speaker 8: being worn out. I would love to get your thoughts
- 10:41Speaker 8: on that, because when I look at the San Francisco game,
- 10:45Speaker 8: the way he got thrown out of bounds, nobody.
- 10:47Speaker 9: Would have ever done that to Zeke.
- 10:49Speaker 8: I don't think there's a player in the league who
- 10:50Speaker 8: can pick Zeke up and throw him out of bounds
- 10:53Speaker 8: like that. And that's like one of the first few
- 10:55Speaker 8: players of the game. That kind of sets the tone.
- 10:57Speaker 8: So thank you guys taking my call up.
- 10:59Speaker 3: You know what you guys, thank you Stan appreciate that.
- 11:04Speaker 5: Man.
- 11:04Speaker 3: That's that's I haven't really heard it put that way,
- 11:07Speaker 3: but you're almost losing two guys at once by moving
- 11:10Speaker 3: them that way, and that's sort of what we're seeing.
- 11:13Speaker 3: You see that out of Tony Yeah.
- 11:15Speaker 2: The thing that I believe is just here. You have
- 11:17Speaker 2: rico'dondle using. Yeah, this kid can hammer, he can. Yeah,
- 11:23Speaker 2: just give him opportunity to hammer.
- 11:27Speaker 5: Tony.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Just give him time. I mean, let coach figure it out.
- 11:31Speaker 2: It's still early. By the eighth game, all this should
- 11:34Speaker 2: be figured out. But Donald should be seeing a lot
- 11:37Speaker 2: more reps. Tony still gets his twenty two touches by well,
- 11:41Speaker 2: pass and run so he can stay fresh and explosive.
- 11:44Speaker 5: But you all use Rico dondle. I don't know.
- 11:49Speaker 2: I think he should get ten to twelve carries. And
- 11:51Speaker 2: the other guys, you know, all the other guys draft picks,
- 11:55Speaker 2: you know that everybody's been high on, you know, let
- 11:58Speaker 2: them just fall to the wayside. I'm a realist. Yeah,
- 12:02Speaker 2: And this is where a lot of people don't like
- 12:06Speaker 2: what I say. Uh, it's only four or five guys
- 12:10Speaker 2: should be getting the bulk of all the touches. And
- 12:14Speaker 2: after those four or five guys, these those guys should
- 12:17Speaker 2: be surprises. We oh we did a nice play. Oh
- 12:20Speaker 2: that was great. That's what we should be saying, not
- 12:24Speaker 2: an every week occurrence. And we shouldn't see a third
- 12:28Speaker 2: stream back or fourth receiver. Nah, that should be every
- 12:33Speaker 2: four or five games. You know, it's just four or
- 12:36Speaker 2: five guys who should be getting the bulk of the touches.
- 12:38Speaker 5: A right, I like it.
- 12:40Speaker 3: As for the first part that you asked me about
- 12:43Speaker 3: cutting veterans and not really replacing them, I think the
- 12:45Speaker 3: Cowboys would argue that they do. They do replace them
- 12:49Speaker 3: with They definitely replace their money. They're just putting it
- 12:53Speaker 3: in different pockets. You know, they're moving it in this pocket,
- 12:56Speaker 3: this pocket. They're signing guys that they and they also
- 12:59Speaker 3: they also know what's on the horizon now. I mean
- 13:02Speaker 3: they have to sign CD, they have to sign Micah Parsons.
- 13:06Speaker 3: So whether or not, yeah, they didn't necessarily replace that
- 13:10Speaker 3: money right right then. And also some of these guys,
- 13:12Speaker 3: you know, you you were eating the dead money as well.
- 13:15Speaker 3: So every case is a little bit different. But just
- 13:18Speaker 3: because they didn't go sign money for you know, or
- 13:21Speaker 3: use that money of ten million dollars and on June
- 13:23Speaker 3: first for Zeke, they it's going somewhere. I promise you
- 13:27Speaker 3: that they've got guys they got to sign and they did.
- 13:29Speaker 3: I mean, think about it. What happened. They got that
- 13:31Speaker 3: money on June first for her Zeke and in training camp.
- 13:35Speaker 3: They signed Digs, they signed Malie Cooker, they signed they
- 13:40Speaker 3: had to get more money to Zach Martin than they
- 13:42Speaker 3: were expecting. They ended up signing Terrence Steele as well,
- 13:45Speaker 3: so they are using the money. It's just not exactly
- 13:48Speaker 3: apples to apples running back to running back. All right,
- 13:50Speaker 3: let's go to Tim and Grapevine as our next call. Tim,
- 13:53Speaker 3: what's up man?
- 13:57Speaker 5: A you there?
- 13:58Speaker 3: Tim?
- 13:59Speaker 9: Yes, sir?
- 14:00Speaker 5: Sure, how's it going?
- 14:00Speaker 3: You're on with Nick and Nate?
- 14:03Speaker 10: Yep, I see that. Good morning fellas. Hey Nate, real quick,
- 14:06Speaker 10: just want to say, man, my dad and I love
- 14:08Speaker 10: watching you play your solid football back with the great
- 14:11Speaker 10: Wall of Dallas. And so my question is for you, Nate.
- 14:16Speaker 10: We all knew Mike McCarthy wanted to run the ball,
- 14:18Speaker 10: but so far it feels a little lackluster. Is this
- 14:22Speaker 10: a scheme thing or the old line? I mean, what
- 14:24Speaker 10: are you seeing and what can be done to improve
- 14:26Speaker 10: the run game? And I'll hang up, thank you.
- 14:29Speaker 2: The last two games out offensive line, it's amazing that
- 14:33Speaker 2: when we had to back up, so even though we
- 14:35Speaker 2: weren't playing, it's stiffer competition that we played in the
- 14:38Speaker 2: last two weeks. It's just guys got to get more reps.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Guys gotta go at it. Guys got to pay attention
- 14:45Speaker 2: to detail.
- 14:47Speaker 5: A lot of the.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Things with the old line, especially when you're in the
- 14:49Speaker 2: red zone, it's about you got inches inches to move
- 14:53Speaker 2: a person, to to shift the person, and we just
- 14:56Speaker 2: got to pay more attention to detail. And I just
- 15:00Speaker 2: hate everybody's beat up this time of the year. So
- 15:05Speaker 2: you have to play. And if you're not injured and
- 15:07Speaker 2: on the sideline, you're out there, you're playing. You're doing
- 15:10Speaker 2: the best you can. But we as the offensive line,
- 15:13Speaker 2: has to find some type of continuity. We have to
- 15:15Speaker 2: find some type of rhythm. Because if we want this
- 15:18Speaker 2: team to be successful. The only way this team is
- 15:22Speaker 2: going to be successful, if you already have your quarterback,
- 15:24Speaker 2: is that is your quarterback. It's gonna come down to
- 15:27Speaker 2: what your offensive line is gonna do. And that's just
- 15:30Speaker 2: the bottom line. These guys has to play better. The
- 15:33Speaker 2: last two games have not been nice.
- 15:36Speaker 3: Well, you know, earlier on you said about these fans
- 15:39Speaker 3: are knowledgeable, they know what's going on. Well, we had
- 15:42Speaker 3: a text message come in. Didn't put his name in
- 15:44Speaker 3: it from the three one five area code, but he
- 15:47Speaker 3: he has the answer to your earlier story about the Chiefs,
- 15:50Speaker 3: and I'm.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Sure Neil Smith it is, yeah, Neil Smith, It just
- 15:55Speaker 2: Nils Neil Smith.
- 15:58Speaker 5: No, no, it just.
- 15:59Speaker 3: Can't Bill Smith. That's it.
- 16:01Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you, sir, that's nice. I like that.
- 16:04Speaker 3: You just you just like right on, que you just
- 16:06Speaker 3: got it.
- 16:07Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:08Speaker 2: The thing that was their cornerback, the cornerback, I don't
- 16:12Speaker 2: know who he was, but Michael added my live Dale Carter,
- 16:14Speaker 2: yeah live, because the media made that a personal thing
- 16:19Speaker 2: with Mike.
- 16:19Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
- 16:20Speaker 2: The media told everybody that Dale Catt was the best
- 16:23Speaker 2: corner and Mike said, we'll see.
- 16:26Speaker 3: They used to do that too. I remember a game
- 16:29Speaker 3: that same season, all week long was a Nias Williams
- 16:33Speaker 3: is a really good corner and he's you know.
- 16:35Speaker 5: It's like, okay, all right, we'll see see.
- 16:37Speaker 3: Well, you know, to be fair, I mean this is
- 16:40Speaker 3: why Michael Ivan. You know, Michaelervern's not underrated, but there's
- 16:43Speaker 3: a part about his game people always think maybe he's not.
- 16:46Speaker 3: You know, he wasn't the speed guy, but he used
- 16:49Speaker 3: to beat Dion Sanders all the time.
- 16:51Speaker 6: Man.
- 16:52Speaker 5: I don't know if he used to beat the Sands,
- 16:54Speaker 5: but he used to be very competitive.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Okay, I very you were in Colorado this week.
- 16:59Speaker 5: You know, out for both of these guys. If I
- 17:02Speaker 5: choose the side, I'm in trouble. Yeah.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Well we go to break. We're gonna come back for
- 17:05Speaker 3: the second half. Are you coming back for the second half?
- 17:07Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 17:07Speaker 3: Yeah, man, last week they didn't.
- 17:10Speaker 5: No, I'm good, I'm coming back.
- 17:11Speaker 8: Man.
- 17:12Speaker 5: I don't. I don't believe in moral victories, though.
- 17:14Speaker 3: We're gonna do that, all right. Yeah, well I do.
- 17:16Speaker 3: I do believe in them, and they work all right.
- 17:21Speaker 3: To the callers, you know, we did this three years ago.
- 17:24Speaker 3: I just for people that don't understand, that don't realize,
- 17:26Speaker 3: and a lot of them do. We did the first
- 17:29Speaker 3: time we did this show shuffle was in twenty twenty, Yes,
- 17:32Speaker 3: and it was me and Nate joined Kyle on talking
- 17:37Speaker 3: Cowboys and they just lost to the Steelers who were
- 17:40Speaker 3: eleven and zer and the Cowboys were like three and
- 17:44Speaker 3: seven or something like that, and they had Garrett Gilbert
- 17:47Speaker 3: at quarterback and they were thrown into the end zone
- 17:49Speaker 3: and they lost the game. And I said, I believe
- 17:52Speaker 3: that that this you can take something.
- 17:54Speaker 5: Out of this.
- 17:55Speaker 3: I believe in in a moral victory in this case,
- 17:57Speaker 3: and hopefully it'll help that. In all it is is
- 18:00Speaker 3: ignited a three year debate with Nate on this, and
- 18:04Speaker 3: it was it was so intense that on the next day,
- 18:07Speaker 3: I remember Kyle came back with his to make sure.
- 18:11Speaker 3: But it's just a difference. And and we'll and and
- 18:14Speaker 3: Nate once a week will throw some kind of moral victory.
- 18:18Speaker 3: I believe in it, I really do. I don't believe
- 18:20Speaker 3: in you accept them, but I do believe that sometimes
- 18:23Speaker 3: a loss can can help.
- 18:25Speaker 5: You, can propel you into losing. I understand.
- 18:27Speaker 3: I don't. I don't believe that. I don't believe that.
- 18:31Speaker 3: I'll give you the example, all right, before we go
- 18:33Speaker 3: to this call, I give you example. You remember when
- 18:35Speaker 3: they played the Buccaneers two years ago, when week one
- 18:37Speaker 3: of the season, the Buccaneers were the champions, that they
- 18:40Speaker 3: got their ring and they played Tom Brady and the
- 18:43Speaker 3: Cowboy was supposed to lose by two touchdowns, and they
- 18:45Speaker 3: lost by a last second field goal in the And
- 18:47Speaker 3: I remember DeMarcus Lawrence walking off that field, nod in
- 18:50Speaker 3: his head and said, we're gonna be all right. And
- 18:52Speaker 3: they won five in a row after that. I think
- 18:55Speaker 3: that game helped them, say, you know, what we got
- 18:58Speaker 3: to clean these things up and we can you it
- 19:00Speaker 3: to propel us to the next to win it. I
- 19:02Speaker 3: don't think to lose them. I don't think you accept it.
- 19:05Speaker 3: I just think you can take some good from it,
- 19:07Speaker 3: all right, All right? Cool? So you agree.
- 19:09Speaker 5: Finally, I'm just saying, where did they go into playoffs?
- 19:13Speaker 3: I don't know they went.
- 19:14Speaker 5: What did that?
- 19:15Speaker 3: What do you think that that loss?
- 19:17Speaker 2: Because if you can't hold on to that moral victory
- 19:20Speaker 2: all the way to the playoffs to propel you into
- 19:22Speaker 2: the the second or third round to win a game,
- 19:25Speaker 2: then it's no good.
- 19:27Speaker 3: So what are you supposed to do after you lose?
- 19:29Speaker 3: Just say the season's over?
- 19:30Speaker 2: Like, no, we lose, you go in and you look
- 19:32Speaker 2: and see what you've done wrong, Like these guys did
- 19:36Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers beat our team brutally, right,
- 19:40Speaker 2: but they didn't like, Okay, what good? They went and
- 19:42Speaker 2: found out what they did wrong. They know their professional athletes.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Let me go in and do it and be a
- 19:48Speaker 2: better player this week, you know, just let the enter
- 19:51Speaker 2: you churn. Don't worry about whether we can pick up
- 19:54Speaker 2: a peanut here and a peanut there.
- 19:55Speaker 3: I think I think we're saying the same thing. All right,
- 19:57Speaker 3: let's go Runnie in New Jersey. Ronnie, what's up?
- 20:00Speaker 6: Hey?
- 20:00Speaker 12: Good morning, Nick, Nate?
- 20:02Speaker 13: Going good herd you, Nate, I know you had a
- 20:06Speaker 13: good Thanks, Nate.
- 20:07Speaker 11: I know you had a few questions already answered about
- 20:10Speaker 11: the old line. But my question is do you see
- 20:13Speaker 11: us like being too light? I mean, Beyondish is always
- 20:18Speaker 11: getting pushed into the to the quarterback, and now I
- 20:22Speaker 11: see Tyler like Tyler's getting pushed a lot into the quarterback.
- 20:26Speaker 11: Is it technique or are they just too light?
- 20:28Speaker 10: What do you think?
- 20:29Speaker 11: Thanks for taking my call.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Thanks technique technique in greatness? Because Beyondish Now that's what
- 20:34Speaker 2: I worried about two years ago. He finished the year strong.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Last year, something is not right. I don't know what
- 20:41Speaker 2: it is. Our staff is good about hiding injuries. We'll
- 20:45Speaker 2: find out four games from now what the real issue is.
- 20:49Speaker 5: Uh, Beyondish has been above average.
- 20:52Speaker 2: When he first started here, I called him an average
- 20:55Speaker 2: center waiting to be replaced. Now when his contract is up,
- 21:00Speaker 2: you better think about signing this kid, not letting him
- 21:03Speaker 2: hit the street. Because centers o linemen are the hottest thing.
- 21:08Speaker 2: It's quarterbacks you can find, receivers, you can find running backs,
- 21:12Speaker 2: you can find even defensive backs, corners. Who's the next
- 21:15Speaker 2: hottest thing. If you don't have you two or three
- 21:18Speaker 2: above average offensive lines, you're not going to be successful.
- 21:22Speaker 2: So a guy like be Artist, who you might not
- 21:25Speaker 2: think great of, this guy's valuable and we'll find out
- 21:29Speaker 2: after this season how valuab he really is.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Yeah, well they don't really have a backup center for sure.
- 21:33Speaker 3: So yes, all right, good stuff. Let's go to Charles
- 21:37Speaker 3: and Austin or next caller, Charles, what's up man?
- 21:40Speaker 6: Hey? Nick? Heylee?
- 21:42Speaker 9: How's it going?
- 21:42Speaker 5: All right?
- 21:43Speaker 12: Love the show, A big fan of yours as always, Nate,
- 21:47Speaker 12: I got a two parter here, basically on the offensive side,
- 21:52Speaker 12: do you think that they're kind of putting things in
- 21:56Speaker 12: a box as far as oversimplifying and not giving people
- 22:01Speaker 12: the ability to rise up to the occasion. And on defense,
- 22:07Speaker 12: do you think that everybody's really doing their due diligence
- 22:11Speaker 12: with their homework as far as watching tape because a
- 22:15Speaker 12: lot of the times it seems like the downfall for
- 22:19Speaker 12: our defense is people getting confused and stuff. And I know,
- 22:23Speaker 12: in like the San Francisco game, to me, it didn't
- 22:27Speaker 12: seem like they really pulled any surprises as far as
- 22:31Speaker 12: what I was kind of expecting them to do. So
- 22:33Speaker 12: that's it. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.
- 22:35Speaker 11: Thanks guys.
- 22:36Speaker 3: The first question was what Nick oversimplifying things on offense
- 22:41Speaker 3: a little bit. I have a different opinion than I
- 22:46Speaker 3: guess everybody when it comes to this right here, Dak
- 22:52Speaker 3: is what eight nine years in. Dak has played enough football,
- 22:58Speaker 3: he has been with enough offensive coordinat and he's seen
- 23:01Speaker 3: enough defenses to I think Dak should be able to
- 23:05Speaker 3: uh figure out what he needs to do along with
- 23:10Speaker 3: the coach, not the other way around. I understand the
- 23:13Speaker 3: coach put the game playing in, but Dak should be
- 23:16Speaker 3: able to look through that game plan and figure out
- 23:18Speaker 3: what best suits him and what he can do and
- 23:21Speaker 3: what he can't do. When Dak is at his finest,
- 23:25Speaker 3: and I know people will tell me all the other situations,
- 23:28Speaker 3: but when Dak is at his finest, I will never change.
- 23:31Speaker 2: This is when he's in a football player first. What
- 23:35Speaker 2: I mean by that is when he's instinctive, Yes, we're
- 23:40Speaker 2: on the safe, when he when he can roll out,
- 23:44Speaker 2: when he can boot leg, when he can move the pocket,
- 23:47Speaker 2: when he when you put put put.
- 23:50Speaker 5: Every run past option back in the offense.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Now, let him decide not not we say, hey, we're
- 23:59Speaker 2: gonna run him. No, that ain't Dak. Let him be instinctive.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Now he's been having problems with reading the field, or
- 24:08Speaker 2: cut the field down, But don't stop him from throwing
- 24:11Speaker 2: the ball because now I don't want him pumping. I
- 24:14Speaker 2: want him either releasing it. If it's interception, guess what,
- 24:17Speaker 2: it's an interception. But when he's confident in being a
- 24:21Speaker 2: football player, he's a hard guy to beat.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Now is cutting the field down over simplifying things?
- 24:28Speaker 5: No?
- 24:29Speaker 2: No, no, You give him one or two options, and
- 24:32Speaker 2: then if you don't like it, throw the ball away.
- 24:35Speaker 2: A tucket can get two yards. Dak has always been
- 24:39Speaker 2: his best. Go back and look at the film. He's
- 24:42Speaker 2: always been his best when he's been a football player,
- 24:45Speaker 2: an extinctual guy that can do his job and just flow.
- 24:49Speaker 2: That's when he's always been his best. We will be
- 24:52Speaker 2: in every game, y'all. If two things that has to
- 24:57Speaker 2: happen for the Dallas Cowboys that hasn't had happened in
- 25:00Speaker 2: the last I don't know how long.
- 25:02Speaker 5: When we are a team, when we.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Start stopping to run it, don't matter who we play,
- 25:09Speaker 2: when we start stopping to run, we're gonna be a
- 25:13Speaker 2: good to great defense. And when Dak can just play football,
- 25:19Speaker 2: we'll be a good to great offense. Let's see how
- 25:22Speaker 2: that works. Stop with the West coast, Texas coast to
- 25:26Speaker 2: kell them Moore.
- 25:26Speaker 5: Just that.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Get back to when Dak in his first four years,
- 25:33Speaker 2: Amari was that receiver. For a while, then we had
- 25:37Speaker 2: I don't know who we had, and then what's the
- 25:39Speaker 2: guy eighty eight? The other eighty eight? Dad's was that guy?
- 25:43Speaker 2: So he catered to these guys. Now, let's find out
- 25:47Speaker 2: how we can get ceedee lamb going along with Dak,
- 25:51Speaker 2: along with Tony Parler.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Let's see how that works.
- 25:54Speaker 3: All right, All right, stuff Brian in Kansas City, Brian,
- 25:59Speaker 3: you're up.
- 25:59Speaker 5: What's up?
- 26:01Speaker 14: Good morning? Nick, morning, Nate.
- 26:02Speaker 5: How you doing?
- 26:03Speaker 3: Good morning?
- 26:04Speaker 14: I'm doing good. So I got three questions and then
- 26:06Speaker 14: I'll hang up and listen.
- 26:07Speaker 5: Man.
- 26:08Speaker 14: So, one of the things that happened this offseason is
- 26:10Speaker 14: obviously we've changed our offense, and I think maybe that
- 26:14Speaker 14: gets lost in the mix. I haven't heard a lot
- 26:16Speaker 14: of people talking about how long does it take, especially
- 26:20Speaker 14: nowadays that we don't play our starters in the preseason.
- 26:25Speaker 14: How long does it take before everything gels? And then Nate,
- 26:28Speaker 14: I was going to ask the same question about the
- 26:30Speaker 14: O line now that we've had our O line together
- 26:33Speaker 14: for two weeks, Like when's that magic number? Like they
- 26:36Speaker 14: play together three or four weeks and now they're passing
- 26:39Speaker 14: off stunts without thinking about it. And then my last
- 26:42Speaker 14: thing was is maybe if you got one, maybe you
- 26:44Speaker 14: tell us a good John Madden story, Nate, and I'll
- 26:47Speaker 14: hang up and listen.
- 26:48Speaker 8: Have a good one.
- 26:50Speaker 3: The first question, my brother, how long I mean there's
- 26:53Speaker 3: a new offense. How long does it take for a
- 26:55Speaker 3: new offense?
- 26:55Speaker 5: About eight weeks?
- 26:56Speaker 2: You should know eight games the end of the season, Yes, sir,
- 27:00Speaker 2: because you let's walk through it on.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Is that a good idea for a head coach that
- 27:05Speaker 3: needs to win? He's got to win. I'm just telling you,
- 27:08Speaker 3: is it a good idea to make this move? Then
- 27:10Speaker 3: eight weeks?
- 27:11Speaker 2: Let me let me tell you why. Let me tell
- 27:13Speaker 2: you why. Have you did your office line practice together?
- 27:18Speaker 2: Doing training count? Have they practiced? We just this gentleman
- 27:22Speaker 2: just said, it's been two games. So now you got
- 27:25Speaker 2: to integrate your run protections, your pass protections and play together. Okay,
- 27:32Speaker 2: for some reason, Dak hasn't connected with with with Cooks
- 27:38Speaker 2: or and he and it has been sporadic with CD Lamb.
- 27:41Speaker 5: The tight end has been lost here the last few weeks.
- 27:45Speaker 2: They're not together because they didn't practice enough or this
- 27:52Speaker 2: is why when you're when your coordinator changed, you had
- 27:56Speaker 2: to get a quarter during the preseason.
- 27:59Speaker 5: But everybody said, hey, we scattered.
- 28:00Speaker 2: The injuries, but the lack of continuity, the lack of
- 28:05Speaker 2: seeing it against even though it had been basic defenses
- 28:08Speaker 2: in training camp and then training and in the preseason,
- 28:12Speaker 2: you still get this the opportunity to see. Now, give
- 28:16Speaker 2: them two more games. Let's see where it's at.
- 28:19Speaker 3: All right, real quick? The offensive line continuity, what would
- 28:23Speaker 3: you say? How many games would you say?
- 28:26Speaker 5: This should be it?
- 28:27Speaker 2: I mean, after this break here, these guys should be
- 28:31Speaker 2: rolling all right.
- 28:32Speaker 3: John Madden's story I loved you.
- 28:36Speaker 5: Yeah, the greatest story for me, and this is for me.
- 28:40Speaker 2: The greatest story was I was in New York Giants
- 28:43Speaker 2: Stadium and I was coming in early on the early bus.
- 28:47Speaker 5: And this when I first was starting.
- 28:49Speaker 2: I don't know what year it was, but I was
- 28:51Speaker 2: walking up and I saw these people hanging around you know,
- 28:54Speaker 2: following this guy, and I'm like, whoa that coach Madden,
- 28:59Speaker 2: And so I followed him, you know, because I was
- 29:02Speaker 2: at the game early, you know, so they like, you know,
- 29:05Speaker 2: so I'm following them. And then I kind of lost him,
- 29:08Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, cause because I had to
- 29:10Speaker 2: turn off to go to the to the locker room.
- 29:13Speaker 2: But somehow we bumped up again and I'm looking at
- 29:17Speaker 2: him and.
- 29:17Speaker 5: He said, hello, Nate Newton. I was shocked to death. Yeah,
- 29:22Speaker 5: he said, hey, man, the coaches say pretty good things
- 29:24Speaker 5: about you, and I watch you. You pretty good.
- 29:26Speaker 2: You okay, just keep playing, You'll be all right. And
- 29:29Speaker 2: from that day on he talked about me. When I
- 29:32Speaker 2: got you know, he's had the big walking talking phones
- 29:34Speaker 2: back there, so walking talking phone was going.
- 29:36Speaker 5: Off like hey man, coach bad love you man.
- 29:39Speaker 2: He talked about you, and man from that point or
- 29:41Speaker 2: I used to hunt him down. Yeah, even though I
- 29:43Speaker 2: want to big this big kitchen Nate Newton guy at
- 29:47Speaker 2: the time.
- 29:47Speaker 5: I used to be like, coach, man, what's happening to man?
- 29:49Speaker 2: Just speaking to him in a relationship just built built,
- 29:52Speaker 2: and then we got good, it really got.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he was putting on the All Madden.
- 29:56Speaker 3: T Yes, that was a big deal, right, that was.
- 29:59Speaker 2: Bigger than any All Pro, any Pro Bowl. I'm telling you,
- 30:04Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor don't bow to nobody. But when we did
- 30:07Speaker 2: this special, they called Lawrence Lauren like hey, And he
- 30:10Speaker 2: told his secretary whenever coach Madden, people call, go go
- 30:14Speaker 2: watch that.
- 30:15Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it, find it. It's called All Madden.
- 30:17Speaker 3: And there's a documentary on him. And from my understanding,
- 30:20Speaker 3: when he watched it and reviewed it, he actually got
- 30:23Speaker 3: a chance to review that. It was done and it
- 30:25Speaker 3: was going to be aired, and he passed away like
- 30:28Speaker 3: the next day or but he got a chance to
- 30:30Speaker 3: see it. I actually have a Madden story along that
- 30:32Speaker 3: it'll be quick.
- 30:34Speaker 5: It'll be quick.
- 30:34Speaker 3: When I first started nineteen ninety nine, a few pounds ago,
- 30:39Speaker 3: and I was in Valley Ranch on a Saturday, and
- 30:43Speaker 3: I saw the Madden Cruiser. Was there was a Monday
- 30:45Speaker 3: night game. Was there doing those interviews and stuff. And
- 30:48Speaker 3: I'm in the hallway and I'm and I'm you know,
- 30:50Speaker 3: and I'm going to the restaurant. I don't know what
- 30:51Speaker 3: I was doing on Monday Sunday, I mean a Saturday afternoon,
- 30:55Speaker 3: but I turned the corner, and you know about old
- 30:57Speaker 3: Valley ranch man, you could if you were moving too fast,
- 30:59Speaker 3: you couldn't see who was around the corner. And I
- 31:01Speaker 3: turned the corner and he turned the corner, and I
- 31:03Speaker 3: mean I had to stop on a dime. And I
- 31:05Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm sorry, and he walked back. He
- 31:07Speaker 3: didn't say anything. He just kept going and I had
- 31:10Speaker 3: to get out of his way. And he just kept
- 31:12Speaker 3: walking and never turned around, and he just went, humhm.
- 31:15Speaker 4: You would have lost that battle, yeah, I would have.
- 31:19Speaker 4: I got out of his way. But yeah, that's why
- 31:21Speaker 4: he didn't stop. And he didn't talk to me like you.
- 31:23Speaker 4: But now he definitely loved you. All right, let's go
- 31:25Speaker 4: to break. We got two callers on the line. We're
- 31:27Speaker 4: gonna try to move quickly here. We'll be right back here.
- 31:29Speaker 15: On Cowboy storyline, Todd thought it would be secure to
- 31:33Speaker 15: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat
- 31:35Speaker 15: repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is
- 31:39Speaker 15: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
- 31:41Speaker 15: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
- 31:43Speaker 15: has at and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
- 31:46Speaker 15: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
- 31:48Speaker 15: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
- 31:50Speaker 15: beef stew at and T five G Fast, reliable, secure,
- 31:54Speaker 15: It's not complicated.

- 33:32Speaker 3: Back to Cowboys storylines, all right back here in Cowboys storyline.
- 33:38Speaker 3: I know I made a joke earlier about the second
- 33:40Speaker 3: half talking about Nate and uh Colorado. Deon Sanders all
- 33:45Speaker 3: that you were there this weekend. But but and I
- 33:47Speaker 3: know that they lost a tough game. But real quick,
- 33:50Speaker 3: the relationship that you have with Dion, where where did
- 33:54Speaker 3: that kind of hang? Where did the start? I mean,
- 33:56Speaker 3: I know he was a player here, but but where
- 33:58Speaker 3: where did it become? Where you you driving to Jackson State,
- 34:01Speaker 3: drive to Colorado like you're you're he's your guy?
- 34:04Speaker 5: Yeah? It started? Uh? I heard about him in college? Yeah?
- 34:10Speaker 2: Do they just seton told me, hey man, we got
- 34:12Speaker 2: this dude at Florida State. I was at FAM and
- 34:14Speaker 2: you know, Florida and him, and he was telling me about,
- 34:16Speaker 2: hey man, we got this great freshman. And then I
- 34:19Speaker 2: watched him, you know, run track and play a little baseball.
- 34:22Speaker 2: I just from a distance. Then we got to the
- 34:24Speaker 2: pros and him and Mike were pretty close, and uh,
- 34:28Speaker 2: you know we played against him and.
- 34:30Speaker 5: Hey, hey, Prime and I keep on bout my business.
- 34:33Speaker 2: And then he got a visit here, and uh, Jerry
- 34:37Speaker 2: was recruiting me and and Mike was, hey, you know,
- 34:41Speaker 2: he said who liked to have fund is when Nate
- 34:43Speaker 2: liked to have fun. Boy, he cracked jokes and boy,
- 34:45Speaker 2: you're gonna love him. So he wanted to meet me,
- 34:49Speaker 2: and I didn't get it.
- 34:50Speaker 5: I didn't I didn't see him. And then we went
- 34:52Speaker 5: to the Pro Bowl and that's when we got close.
- 34:56Speaker 2: You know, I turned Rob Woodson against me, but man,
- 34:59Speaker 2: prime got close.
- 35:00Speaker 5: What's from that point on, we've been we've been close.
- 35:03Speaker 3: What's the one thing that's probably misunderstood the most about Dean.
- 35:08Speaker 5: His desire to win, to be the best you know?
- 35:12Speaker 2: And uh and and believe it or not, all the
- 35:16Speaker 2: the arrogance that people said is I call the confidence
- 35:19Speaker 2: or the cocking, it's whatever words. He's not that person
- 35:22Speaker 2: when when you get to know him, he's not that guy. Yeah,
- 35:24Speaker 2: he's not that guy. So I mean, but the flash
- 35:27Speaker 2: and I got a store. But it's another time because
- 35:29Speaker 2: it's a long story.
- 35:30Speaker 5: All right, Well.
- 35:30Speaker 3: Definitely, Well maybe on Monday about Monday, okay, yeah, when
- 35:33Speaker 3: we review the game from the week of the day before,
- 35:36Speaker 3: which isn't one, we'll use that, we'll use their time.
- 35:38Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the callers there, Sebastian and
- 35:40Speaker 3: Savannah Georgia. Sebastian, what's up.
- 35:43Speaker 11: Oh, I'm with the.
- 35:44Speaker 13: Cowboys storyline and new time. I see you when you speak?
- 35:48Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, listen, guys, Nick.
- 35:51Speaker 13: I didn't know. I was watching the music because you're popular.
- 35:54Speaker 13: You your phone lines are locked up like kell offense
- 35:58Speaker 13: was Monday.
- 36:02Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go.
- 36:03Speaker 13: It took everything but a reverse music City, Music City
- 36:07Speaker 13: miracle to get the extra seven points to get them
- 36:09Speaker 13: above ten. Nate, you said we needed to win by three.
- 36:12Speaker 13: We won by three. I don't care how we do that.
- 36:15Speaker 13: I don't care how ugly it is. I don't care
- 36:17Speaker 13: how many calls we get. As long as we get
- 36:19Speaker 13: itally in that W column. That's all I want to see.
- 36:21Speaker 13: Every week. I'll take fifteen more just like it.
- 36:23Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, yeah.
- 36:27Speaker 13: One thing, yeah, the one question. Actually no, we kept
- 36:30Speaker 13: pick team. I just want to on a shout out
- 36:32Speaker 13: Dak because people kept saying, do we need Kellen Moore?
- 36:34Speaker 13: Do we need Kellen Moore? Mike McCarthy got it done.
- 36:36Speaker 13: It wasn't pretty, but I want to see more of
- 36:39Speaker 13: Dak running the ball like that. I want to see
- 36:41Speaker 13: more of us getting to the wide receivers.
- 36:43Speaker 6: Like we did.
- 36:44Speaker 13: That was a good game. I don't care how ugly
- 36:45Speaker 13: it was. It was a good game. You guys have
- 36:47Speaker 13: a great day, and I ain't gonna listen.
- 36:49Speaker 3: All right, Thank you well, Chris Bean. You got after
- 36:52Speaker 3: these guys. You told them like speak quick, quick, quick
- 36:55Speaker 3: now thanks to the Bastian good stuff.
- 36:57Speaker 5: Dak running the.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Ball and loans is instincts, not not no design.
- 37:02Speaker 5: You know.
- 37:03Speaker 2: If it's a read that makes him run, that's one thing.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Not no, hey man, you got to run. No if
- 37:09Speaker 2: Dak won two reads, not there. If you can get
- 37:14Speaker 2: some yardists, get some yardists, not throw the ball away.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Let his instincts take over, you know, don't say, hey man,
- 37:19Speaker 2: we're gonna run right here right, you know, let it
- 37:22Speaker 2: be a read like it was in the game.
- 37:24Speaker 3: Big play in the game in my opinion. You know,
- 37:26Speaker 3: I do an article five plays. Don't forget these five plays.
- 37:28Speaker 3: And it was third It was third and five on
- 37:31Speaker 3: their first scoring drive, and Dak was it was you know,
- 37:35Speaker 3: in the pocket. He dove for four yards close to
- 37:38Speaker 3: the first down, got fourth and one that kept him
- 37:41Speaker 3: on the field, and said all right, we're gonna play
- 37:43Speaker 3: this next one. And then they score a touchdown on
- 37:45Speaker 3: that read option. So there was two plays in arerow
- 37:47Speaker 3: of him reading that. Yes, and that that's all I've
- 37:50Speaker 3: ever asked. I think we'll go far and we will
- 37:54Speaker 3: be in every game. We'll be in every game.
- 37:58Speaker 2: We'll be competitive if Dak just be that extinctive guy.
- 38:01Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Curtis in Oklahoma for our
- 38:04Speaker 3: next caller.
- 38:04Speaker 10: Curtis, what's up, budd, Hey, good morning man.
- 38:07Speaker 19: It's tough to get in after a win like that.
- 38:10Speaker 3: Well, I think it's because it's nate.
- 38:12Speaker 19: To so hey, nay, big hemmie. How you doing.
- 38:15Speaker 5: I'm doing all right, How you doing?
- 38:17Speaker 19: Excellent? Actually, one of my notes here, of my three
- 38:21Speaker 19: is exactly the opposite of what you said. I have
- 38:24Speaker 19: here that I think Dak needs to run the ball
- 38:27Speaker 19: before halftime at least two times, not read options and
- 38:31Speaker 19: outside of the red zone. I like what he's doing
- 38:35Speaker 19: this year with reading. He's done it a little bit better,
- 38:39Speaker 19: but it's such a touch and go, you know, he's hesitated.
- 38:44Speaker 19: I like that he's looking for the downfield pass when
- 38:46Speaker 19: he's running too. But I think if you just take
- 38:49Speaker 19: that decision out and make the defense honest and it's
- 38:52Speaker 19: just a difference of opinion, no shade or anything there.
- 38:56Speaker 19: The other things that I wanted to say was I
- 38:58Speaker 19: just think this was a great win for our Dallas
- 39:01Speaker 19: Cowboys with the adversity that they faced. I've seen a
- 39:04Speaker 19: lot of these kinds of wins last year, and I
- 39:06Speaker 19: think it's good for this year's team.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Curtis. I mean, you know, Nate, I'll
- 39:12Speaker 3: throw it to you. I mean, you get a close
- 39:16Speaker 3: win like this, especially when you know all week long
- 39:18Speaker 3: it was oh, what's wrong with this team and all that,
- 39:21Speaker 3: and you can tell that the locker room is strong.
- 39:24Speaker 3: You could tell that Dak and CD were back on
- 39:26Speaker 3: the same page. They didn't have any rifts or anything.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Can you build from games like this.
- 39:30Speaker 5: You can. You can.
- 39:34Speaker 2: What I would like to just see is keep your
- 39:37Speaker 2: locker room to yourself. In today's society, that's hard because
- 39:41Speaker 2: of the social media the ex Twitter or whatever you
- 39:44Speaker 2: call it, the Facebook, Instagram, and guys make money.
- 39:48Speaker 5: I mean, people pay guys to talk and they do.
- 39:54Speaker 2: But one thing about it, and I'll say this over
- 39:58Speaker 2: and over, this never became an issue with CD Lamb
- 40:02Speaker 2: at the end of every game when we checked targets.
- 40:06Speaker 2: I'm not a target guy, more of a reception guy,
- 40:09Speaker 2: because that's what counts. But when we check targets, it
- 40:13Speaker 2: always should be Cede Lamb have five more than the
- 40:16Speaker 2: closest guy, always, always, always.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna ask you, I was gonna ask you
- 40:23Speaker 3: this earlier, and you said three to four, four or
- 40:25Speaker 3: five guys need to need to be the guys that
- 40:27Speaker 3: they get the ball and then the surprise guys on
- 40:30Speaker 3: the outside. Right now, where do you put Michael Gallup
- 40:34Speaker 3: in that role? Is he a guy that needs.
- 40:36Speaker 2: He gets to the eighth game, You get to the
- 40:40Speaker 2: eighth game. And I fought for this kid. I believe
- 40:44Speaker 2: in this kid, but maybe maybe the offense is not
- 40:47Speaker 2: designed for him. Maybe he don't have that uh, that
- 40:51Speaker 2: little bit of separation to give him a chance. Before
- 40:55Speaker 2: the injury, he had just that enough separation to catch
- 40:59Speaker 2: that ball. He don't have that now. So you give
- 41:02Speaker 2: him a few more games, and then Tobert has to play. Yeah,
- 41:07Speaker 2: if this kid does not do it, then Tobert has
- 41:10Speaker 2: to play. Dak touches the ball all the time, ceedee
- 41:16Speaker 2: lamb a parlor, next, I don't care, you know, then Cooks,
- 41:21Speaker 2: then the tight end and then Jalen Tobert. If Gallop
- 41:26Speaker 2: can't get it together, mix in rico'donell, mix in Davante
- 41:34Speaker 2: is urping? Is that Cavante? And then the rest of
- 41:39Speaker 2: them you get in.
- 41:40Speaker 5: Where you fit in. Yeah, I love it all right?
- 41:43Speaker 3: Yeah, Don and san Antonio, you're getting in right now.
- 41:47Speaker 3: We're fitting you in as the ninth caller. What's up, Nick.
- 41:53Speaker 7: Nate? I can't I believe it. First he gets talked
- 41:56Speaker 7: to Wodi. I get to talk to you nice. You've
- 42:00Speaker 7: been a herero of mine for years. I'm a lifelong
- 42:03Speaker 7: Cowboy fans starting sixty seven, Nick Nose from my first call.
- 42:08Speaker 7: But what I see in the game is why can't
- 42:11Speaker 7: we make lip Key moose? I mean, we need both
- 42:15Speaker 7: running backs in there, and he can be that lead
- 42:17Speaker 7: blogger because that man is stout. Watch him shake tackles
- 42:20Speaker 7: when he does get the chance to run the ball.
- 42:23Speaker 7: Have him in there to lead the Rico or Pollard,
- 42:27Speaker 7: and I can see the running game resurrect. The line's weak,
- 42:32Speaker 7: getting somebody to lead that line. As mile comment.
- 42:36Speaker 3: All right, thank you for the call. And let me
- 42:38Speaker 3: say this real quick about Darryl Johnston. Though you're talking
- 42:41Speaker 3: about the moves when he got the ball in his
- 42:44Speaker 3: first year, when he would they'd hand him the ball
- 42:46Speaker 3: in eighty nine and in ninety, you know what the
- 42:49Speaker 3: crowd would say, who's that or that's Johnston. I mean,
- 42:52Speaker 3: there wasn't Moose until he had to develop into that.
- 42:57Speaker 3: And guess what, guess who actually did it in the
- 43:00Speaker 3: championship game. John Madden actually put him on the map
- 43:03Speaker 3: a lot in that game as well. He had to develop.
- 43:06Speaker 3: All I'm saying is is Moose wasn't I mean, he
- 43:09Speaker 3: was Darryl Johnston until like his third season. So you
- 43:13Speaker 3: got a development of that, and I think Lipkey can
- 43:15Speaker 3: get there. It just you gotta take some time.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Let me tell y'all, this is what everybody's forgetting. Moose
- 43:23Speaker 2: was a true full back. Eighty ninety percent of what
- 43:28Speaker 2: he did. He was a lead blocker, not a lead runner.
- 43:33Speaker 2: He was a lead blocker. Can this kid develop into
- 43:38Speaker 2: a lead blocker then everything else sprouts out around that.
- 43:44Speaker 5: It don't go the other way, It don't go the
- 43:46Speaker 5: other way.
- 43:47Speaker 2: Can this guy become a great lead blocker, then we
- 43:50Speaker 2: can put him at the at the H bag, Then
- 43:52Speaker 2: we can give him some other responsibilities. But we'll never
- 43:58Speaker 2: know until it happens, you know, we can assume, but
- 44:02Speaker 2: Moose was. That's why he had to have a couple
- 44:04Speaker 2: of neck surgeris because he was blocking middle of nine backers.
- 44:08Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and also too, like the offensive line is
- 44:12Speaker 3: struggling right now, a little bit struggling to meet the
- 44:15Speaker 3: expectations that we had for it. And so I don't
- 44:18Speaker 3: know if if, if you know, Lipkey come in and
- 44:20Speaker 3: help that. But you know, Daryl Johnson didn't have that problem.
- 44:24Speaker 3: I mean an offensive line was was you got? I mean, yeah,
- 44:26Speaker 3: but he will pick up he will pick up a straggler. Yeah,
- 44:29Speaker 3: and Pollard did a great job at that this week.
- 44:31Speaker 2: He did a great job of picking up a couple
- 44:34Speaker 2: of stragglers.
- 44:35Speaker 3: But I've said this about about lip Key. They keep
- 44:39Speaker 3: adding stuff to his plate, and this week, for the
- 44:42Speaker 3: first time that I can remember. It could be wrong,
- 44:45Speaker 3: but they actually were putting him like flanked out, like
- 44:48Speaker 3: a tight end.
- 44:48Speaker 11: He was.
- 44:49Speaker 3: He's starting to show h back role as well. So yes,
- 44:53Speaker 3: it's like the more you can do. He's really doing
- 44:55Speaker 3: a really good job. So you know, I I he's
- 44:59Speaker 3: just getting better. And and that's just another guy, like
- 45:01Speaker 3: you said, another surprise guy you can throw in there.
- 45:04Speaker 3: All right, we got a few more minutes to go.
- 45:06Speaker 3: I don't see we have one more call. It looks like,
- 45:09Speaker 3: look Bob, and let's go to Bob. Bob and Rio
- 45:11Speaker 3: grand Valley just just joined us.
- 45:14Speaker 5: Bob.
- 45:14Speaker 3: What's up?
- 45:16Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, good talking to you.
- 45:18Speaker 9: Appreciate you taking my call.
- 45:20Speaker 3: You're on with Nate.
- 45:22Speaker 9: Hey, this is my week. My Cowboys win and I
- 45:25Speaker 9: get to talk to my hero Nate Newton.
- 45:29Speaker 6: How you doing?
- 45:29Speaker 9: Man?
- 45:29Speaker 5: All right? How you doing, sir?
- 45:31Speaker 9: I'll tell you what. I have the utmost respect for
- 45:35Speaker 9: you when you talk football. I listened ye and the
- 45:41Speaker 9: last caller had a suggestion. And I've been pushing this
- 45:44Speaker 9: all year long. I think we need to get lips
- 45:48Speaker 9: Key involved in the offense. I think the short yardage
- 45:52Speaker 9: he's a solution to the short yardage problem. He can
- 45:56Speaker 9: catch the ball out of the back deal, he can block,
- 46:00Speaker 9: and he's a fearce competitive What.
- 46:02Speaker 14: Do you think?
- 46:03Speaker 5: I just want I just want to see it, you know.
- 46:05Speaker 2: I just weekend and week out, coach got to give
- 46:09Speaker 2: him packages like Nicks just alluded to. They just give
- 46:12Speaker 2: him a package, uh, throwing one of two balls. See
- 46:17Speaker 2: how it works out, Because as the season go on,
- 46:19Speaker 2: it's gonna get tougher and tougher and tougher, not only
- 46:22Speaker 2: for him but for our starting players. I mean, our
- 46:26Speaker 2: receivers are gonna face better guys, we just went four
- 46:30Speaker 2: and two, and uh, we played maybe two good teams.
- 46:34Speaker 2: We've been play a slew of good to great teams. Yes, sir,
- 46:39Speaker 2: we're we're a couple more minutes. I don't think we're
- 46:42Speaker 2: gonna take any more calls. So I got ten. That's
- 46:44Speaker 2: that's awesome. Where do you see this team right now?
- 46:48Speaker 2: Like they're there four and two? Do you think that
- 46:51Speaker 2: they are a top team? And I don't know how
- 46:54Speaker 2: what you would consider elite?
- 46:56Speaker 3: But are they are?
- 46:57Speaker 5: They?
- 46:57Speaker 3: Are they a team that can compete here in the NFC.
- 47:00Speaker 2: It You know a lot of times when we do
- 47:04Speaker 2: my show that I'm a part of, I just get
- 47:07Speaker 2: quiet because it's Jessee stuff. No, no, because I don't
- 47:11Speaker 2: want to repeat. It's only so many ways I can
- 47:14Speaker 2: say the same thing. And it's gonna come down to
- 47:19Speaker 2: three things. There's been three things for four or five,
- 47:23Speaker 2: maybe ten years. It's been three things. Your offensive line
- 47:31Speaker 2: and its continuity, not the best five, because the best
- 47:35Speaker 2: five then played the first two games. We had a
- 47:37Speaker 2: rag tag bunch and they did okay against decent defenses.
- 47:42Speaker 2: It's gonna come down to how well Dak plays, and
- 47:46Speaker 2: it's gonna come down to what can our defense consistently
- 47:51Speaker 2: stop the run, keep people around one hundred and five,
- 47:54Speaker 2: maybe one hundred and ten at the most, and the
- 47:57Speaker 2: average being around about three three point two.
- 48:00Speaker 3: The offensive line consistent, which which that number one will help,
- 48:04Speaker 3: will help that number two. And then after in the
- 48:07Speaker 3: defensive line stopping the run and run, and then that
