- 0:07Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:08Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:10Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys.
- 0:17Speaker 3: This these Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Storylines with Nick Eatman. What is up everyone?
- 0:29Speaker 4: I am Nick Eatman here and it is another time
- 0:31Speaker 4: for Cowboys storyline Tuesday, and Tuesday is kind of the
- 0:37Speaker 4: shift day where you say, all right, we can sort
- 0:40Speaker 4: of talk a little bit about what we just saw
- 0:42Speaker 4: in the game before, but let's all eyes forward on
- 0:45Speaker 4: the next one. And of course with the Jets coming
- 0:48Speaker 4: up and then playing yesterday, all eyes will be on
- 0:51Speaker 4: this one. Aaron Rodgers not sure. I don't think he's
- 0:56Speaker 4: gonna be playing. There's reports still kind of going out
- 0:59Speaker 4: there that he will miss the game. They're they're fearing
- 1:03Speaker 4: could be in an achilles injury. At this point, that
- 1:05Speaker 4: hasn't been confirmed, but what we do know is that
- 1:08Speaker 4: he did not finish the game. The Jets did come
- 1:11Speaker 4: back and win that game against the Bills. It was
- 1:12Speaker 4: an exciting game for them, but obviously things are different
- 1:16Speaker 4: without Aaron Rodgers if that is the case. Jerry Jones
- 1:20Speaker 4: said this morning on his radio show one O five
- 1:23Speaker 4: to three the Fan here in Dallas. He said that
- 1:25Speaker 4: that you know he was proud of the way that
- 1:27Speaker 4: the Jets came back and played that game, show that
- 1:29Speaker 4: they're a tough team. He said, They're loaded across the board,
- 1:32Speaker 4: so it's going to be a tough game regardless. And
- 1:34Speaker 4: I think we knew that the Jets were pretty competitive
- 1:37Speaker 4: last year, you know, in some games without him, so
- 1:41Speaker 4: I'm expecting that would be the case. We could talk
- 1:43Speaker 4: about that. If y'all have questions about the Jets or
- 1:47Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers or anything about this week's game coming up,
- 1:51Speaker 4: you can call one eight eight eight five five to
- 1:53Speaker 4: two ninety seven, or you can send a text on
- 1:55Speaker 4: the text line eight one seven two nine zero three
- 1:58Speaker 4: two nine eight other storylines we can go quickly. Injuries
- 2:03Speaker 4: are gonna be something we'll be watching. Jerry Jones said
- 2:06Speaker 4: he thinks that all of those guys that missed the game,
- 2:08Speaker 4: that includes Tyler Smith, I Van Wilson, Jordan Lewis, those
- 2:14Speaker 4: guys are on the cusp. He said of coming back.
- 2:16Speaker 4: We'll see how they practice. But I would think for
- 2:19Speaker 4: the most part, if you're doubtful like Jordan, like Donovan
- 2:22Speaker 4: Wilson and Tyler Smith were doubtful for the game last week,
- 2:26Speaker 4: I would think you would be in a position to
- 2:29Speaker 4: be better than that this week, so we'll see how
- 2:31Speaker 4: that goes. All right, we have some calls already here,
- 2:34Speaker 4: ready to go here, so we'll start it off. Let's
- 2:37Speaker 4: go to the phone line. Joe in Stanford, Joe, what
- 2:39Speaker 4: is up morning?
- 2:41Speaker 1: Brother?
- 2:41Speaker 5: Woke up just in time to call you.
- 2:43Speaker 6: Man, How you do it?
- 2:44Speaker 1: Wow? Well the life that is, man, woke up just
- 2:47Speaker 1: in time. It's like ten o'clock.
- 2:49Speaker 7: Well, dude, I work in the evening side. Okay, I'm
- 2:52Speaker 7: a machinist. I work three to eight or three to
- 2:54Speaker 7: eleven every day.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Fair, fair, all right, what do you got, Joe?
- 2:58Speaker 7: Well, a couple of things. That Jedd is no joke.
- 3:01Speaker 7: I don't care who the quarterback is. Well, that's gonna
- 3:04Speaker 7: be interesting to have to deal with those guys, no doubt.
- 3:07Speaker 4: I like what Aisha Morrison, who's on Girls Talk, Voice Talk,
- 3:11Speaker 4: and she said, it's gonna be it's gonna be like
- 3:13Speaker 4: basically a fistfight is there in the trenches this week
- 3:17Speaker 4: with cowboys and jets, And I think she's exactly right
- 3:19Speaker 4: about that.
- 3:21Speaker 7: I had another question. So I personally figured out about
- 3:25Speaker 7: two or three years ago that the best way for
- 3:27Speaker 7: a Cowboys fan to get media and to watch is
- 3:31Speaker 7: to stay local. So I do one oh five three
- 3:33Speaker 7: the Fan on YouTube, and because I don't live in Dallas,
- 3:37Speaker 7: and then of course I really stick to dallascowboys dot Com.
- 3:40Speaker 7: I think that's the best way to consume Cowboys information. Well,
- 3:46Speaker 7: do you watch any national guys, because I have to,
- 3:49Speaker 7: I have to be honest with you. For the most part,
- 3:52Speaker 7: there's some decent ones, but for the most part, I
- 3:54Speaker 7: think they're mostly clueless.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Well yeah, I mean, I you know, when you cut
- 4:00Speaker 4: think about this, like if you covered thirty two teams
- 4:03Speaker 4: or or you know, loosely not not all the same.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Obviously you're you're you'd be an idiot not to cover
- 4:09Speaker 4: the Cowboys more than other teams just because of the
- 4:12Speaker 4: recognition and some other you know, other teams like that.
- 4:14Speaker 4: But but if you're trying to cover all the teams,
- 4:16Speaker 4: there's no way. I mean, And and here's what's happening,
- 4:19Speaker 4: because I know this for happens firsthand. These guys that
- 4:22Speaker 4: cover the league, they have people here that they call
- 4:26Speaker 4: and say, Hey, I gotta go do this hit on
- 4:29Speaker 4: whatever and and tell me again what's going on here.
- 4:32Speaker 4: So they're they're already they're already tapping into the local
- 4:36Speaker 4: media guys anyway, So I'm not saying they're all clueless,
- 4:40Speaker 4: but you know, everybody's got their own thing, and if
- 4:43Speaker 4: you're talking about one guy in particular on ESPN, I
- 4:46Speaker 4: think we all know that that's that's fake. So you know, Joe,
- 4:51Speaker 4: I appreciate the call, and thanks for the support on
- 4:55Speaker 4: for dallascowboys dot com.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I mean, we appreciate it.
- 4:57Speaker 4: You can you can basically start it off at at
- 5:00Speaker 4: nine am Central time and you can go all the
- 5:02Speaker 4: way to really five o'clock with with just shows constantly
- 5:08Speaker 4: one after another. So we're excited about that and you
- 5:10Speaker 4: get different variety of people. Me personally, I mean, I
- 5:14Speaker 4: kind of think the ten to ten forty five spot
- 5:16Speaker 4: would be really good for you. That's that's ours here,
- 5:19Speaker 4: cowboy storyline. But now that they're all they're all great
- 5:22Speaker 4: and we appreciate it. All right, let's go back to
- 5:23Speaker 4: the call here. Brian in Kansas City, Brian, what's up?
- 5:28Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick?
- 5:29Speaker 1: How are you doing great?
- 5:31Speaker 8: Man?
- 5:31Speaker 9: I had a doctor's appointment. Didn't get the call in
- 5:34Speaker 9: on Victory mondays, Man, I'm gonna take a quick victory
- 5:37Speaker 9: laugh and say that was a speak down.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Yeah, it definitely was. I hope you're okay there from
- 5:43Speaker 4: the doctor, but yeah, it's it certainly was.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Uh and without a doubt.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I mean I keep I keep I keep pinching, not
- 5:50Speaker 4: pinching myself, but I keep thinking forty to nothing like that, Like,
- 5:54Speaker 4: why is this not getting talked about more like that?
- 5:57Speaker 4: That's that's ridiculous.
- 5:59Speaker 9: Forty to well, and you know what I was thinking,
- 6:02Speaker 9: you know, to try to bring reality back into my mind.
- 6:05Speaker 9: I was thinking about that. I think it was a
- 6:08Speaker 9: Minnesota game two years ago. We went in there and
- 6:10Speaker 9: they were seven and one or something, and it was
- 6:13Speaker 9: supposed to be the battle of the heavyweights, and and
- 6:16Speaker 9: we put a we put a pretty good beating on them.
- 6:19Speaker 1: That was last year.
- 6:21Speaker 8: That was that was last year. Yeah, Oh that's right.
- 6:24Speaker 9: Cooper was the year before that, right, Yeah, I was
- 6:26Speaker 9: trying to think it was the opposite of the Cooper rushing.
- 6:29Speaker 1: No, it was that was last year where that happened.
- 6:32Speaker 9: But it wasn't easy going the rest of the year.
- 6:34Speaker 9: You know, we had one great, unbelievable game.
- 6:38Speaker 4: Well and can I I mean, if we're just being candid,
- 6:41Speaker 4: I mean it's because the Vikings weren't very good. I
- 6:43Speaker 4: mean they they weren't. Their record was good, but they
- 6:46Speaker 4: weren't good. And they showed when they played teams that
- 6:48Speaker 4: were pretty good, they didn't hairly handle it. So they
- 6:51Speaker 4: were the Vikings really, I think they were kind of
- 6:53Speaker 4: a fraud and and and their their record was not
- 6:57Speaker 4: not indicative of their team. We'll see if the Giants
- 6:59Speaker 4: are that way. I mean, we'll we'll see. I mean
- 7:01Speaker 4: it's still early.
- 7:02Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 7:03Speaker 9: Hey, So my question for you is, so if if
- 7:07Speaker 9: you got to guess some of those guys are going
- 7:09Speaker 9: to come back to to the squad this week, the
- 7:13Speaker 9: young guys played so well, who do we lose on
- 7:16Speaker 9: the on the game day roster if Donno and Jay
- 7:20Speaker 9: Lou and Smith come back up and I'm gonna hang
- 7:23Speaker 9: up and with a great one.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Huh, thank you appreciate that.
- 7:26Speaker 4: And that's a you know, that's kind of a curveball
- 7:29Speaker 4: for me right now, because that's a that's not easy.
- 7:32Speaker 4: That's an easy question. I would I would say Igbinogheny,
- 7:37Speaker 4: who scored your first touchdown of the season, will probably
- 7:40Speaker 4: be inactive though he was playing special teams there. And
- 7:43Speaker 4: I would think he's inactive if with Jordan Lewis coming
- 7:47Speaker 4: back there at the cornerback spot, I don't know about
- 7:52Speaker 4: one Ye Thomas, I don't how you gonna put him down.
- 7:56Speaker 4: I mean, and and Marquise Bell So I I don't
- 8:00Speaker 4: know yet. I don't know how that that would that
- 8:02Speaker 4: would happen. I mean, those guys were doing some linebacker
- 8:05Speaker 4: things for you. I'd hate to say. I mean, could
- 8:09Speaker 4: it be Devin Harper. You're already kind of thin at
- 8:11Speaker 4: linebacker as it is. He's doing mostly special team stuff.
- 8:14Speaker 4: But you know, you would need some backups there. And
- 8:20Speaker 4: then on the other side, I mean probably TJ. Bass
- 8:23Speaker 4: if Tyler Smith comes back, TJ Bass would probably be
- 8:26Speaker 4: inactive there. But you know, good good questions, because good
- 8:29Speaker 4: problem to have when when one Ye Thomas and Marquise
- 8:31Speaker 4: Bells are making plays like that, Dom and Wilson comes back,
- 8:35Speaker 4: you know, we'll see it might be one of them.
- 8:36Speaker 4: But the I mean, anybody that's jumping over the line
- 8:39Speaker 4: and getting blockfield goal, I mean I'm for that. So
- 8:42Speaker 4: but yeah, I mean we're going back to the previous
- 8:45Speaker 4: caller about the Jets. I mean, uh, yeah, I think
- 8:47Speaker 4: it's gonna be tough it'll be a tough game. Their
- 8:50Speaker 4: defenses is nasty. Good for them though, for coming back
- 8:53Speaker 4: and winning that game, uh in overtime. It was a
- 8:55Speaker 4: fun game and good for met Live Stadium really for
- 8:58Speaker 4: getting you know, some a good game, getting some points
- 9:02Speaker 4: on the board. I mean they scored twenty two, so
- 9:04Speaker 4: that's you know for the weekend total, that would be
- 9:09Speaker 4: twenty two, twenty two for the weekend there for both
- 9:12Speaker 4: those games of adding that together there, Sorry, not really
- 9:15Speaker 4: not sorry. No, you get beat forty to nothing, you
- 9:18Speaker 4: should get you should get that against you, I mean,
- 9:20Speaker 4: be better.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I mean that was that was a beatdown. You know
- 9:24Speaker 1: what's funny?
- 9:24Speaker 4: You know what reminds me of that that game though
- 9:26Speaker 4: everyone's talking about these other games the Cowboys have won.
- 9:29Speaker 4: In nineteen eighty five, the Cowboys played the Bears. The
- 9:32Speaker 4: Cowboys were a pretty good team. They went to the
- 9:33Speaker 4: playoffs that year, won the division. They lost to the Bears,
- 9:37Speaker 4: the eighty five Bears that everyone talks about. They lost
- 9:39Speaker 4: to the Bears forty four to nothing at home, forty
- 9:42Speaker 4: four to nothing. They could not stay keep a quarterback healthy.
- 9:45Speaker 4: It was an absolute annihilation. And the Cowboys were pretty
- 9:49Speaker 4: good that year. But that just goes to show when
- 9:51Speaker 4: another team's on another level, it can get nasty like that.
- 9:54Speaker 4: All right, let's go back to the phone line. I
- 9:55Speaker 4: don't believe we've had this caller before. Joe and Maine.
- 9:58Speaker 11: Joe, Hey, oh dude, just sit here and enjoying a win.
- 10:04Speaker 4: No doubt, no doubt. Who's the main team in Maine?
- 10:09Speaker 4: I didn't really mean to pun it like that, but
- 10:11Speaker 4: who's the Who's the main main team?
- 10:13Speaker 1: Is it the Patriots?
- 10:13Speaker 5: Is that?
- 10:14Speaker 12: Who?
- 10:14Speaker 13: With?
- 10:14Speaker 1: Most people before?
- 10:16Speaker 11: All these guys out here are Patriot fans, except I
- 10:19Speaker 11: got a core Cowboys fans. They see every once in
- 10:21Speaker 11: a while, you get the random guy that they'll see
- 10:23Speaker 11: the hat and say, like you had, but we kind
- 10:25Speaker 11: of keep it on the down low.
- 10:27Speaker 1: All right, Well not this week? You can? You can.
- 10:29Speaker 4: You can just walk around all day long if you want.
- 10:31Speaker 4: That's awesome.
- 10:32Speaker 1: What do you got, Joe?
- 10:33Speaker 6: Hey?
- 10:34Speaker 11: My question for you, Nick is that I've been a
- 10:37Speaker 11: Cowboys fan since nineteen seventy nine, and the last couple
- 10:40Speaker 11: of years I've noticed the Cowboys seem to play to
- 10:43Speaker 11: their opponents, so teams are supposed to be be We
- 10:48Speaker 11: lose to a barely squeaked by what can you tell
- 10:51Speaker 11: me to make me feel better about this stretch going
- 10:53Speaker 11: into the Jets, Arizona and the Patriots.
- 10:57Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think a part of that thanks
- 11:00Speaker 4: for the called Joe. I think a lot of that
- 11:01Speaker 4: has to do with with that is what the NFL
- 11:05Speaker 4: is designed to be. I mean, that's what they want
- 11:08Speaker 4: it to be. They give everyone the same amount of money,
- 11:10Speaker 4: the same amount of resources. They want the parody to
- 11:14Speaker 4: be like that, so, you know, and and people hate
- 11:17Speaker 4: the cliche of well they get paid to and all
- 11:21Speaker 4: that kind of stuff, and they do, but not the same.
- 11:24Speaker 4: I mean, not everybody gets paid the same. So there's
- 11:27Speaker 4: something to that there. There is something to that, I mean,
- 11:30Speaker 4: and nobody wants to hear excuses, but I mean sometimes
- 11:35Speaker 4: I think what has happened in the past is the
- 11:37Speaker 4: Cowboys teams weren't good enough to withstand getting someone's best shot.
- 11:44Speaker 4: Look at it when when teams like Notre Dame or
- 11:47Speaker 4: University of Texas, when they're not at a high, high level,
- 11:52Speaker 4: they still get the target.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Though.
- 11:53Speaker 4: People still come into their place and look around and
- 11:56Speaker 4: go oh wow at and T Stadium or wow Notre
- 11:59Speaker 4: Dames where Rudy I mean and the team isn't good
- 12:02Speaker 4: enough to handle that kind of expectation. So I think
- 12:05Speaker 4: that happens sometimes with the Cowboys. I think this team
- 12:08Speaker 4: is good enough to to, you know, withstand that.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I think it showed the other night.
- 12:13Speaker 4: But but yeah, there's there's been times where you kind
- 12:16Speaker 4: of get everyone's best shot and you're not good enough
- 12:18Speaker 4: to handle it. We'll see if the Cowboys are at
- 12:21Speaker 4: that level. I don't know if that answered your question.
- 12:24Speaker 4: That it's a tough one to answer, but but I
- 12:26Speaker 4: do think that there's something to that. Let's see if
- 12:28Speaker 4: the Cowboys are are good enough to to kind of
- 12:31Speaker 4: just go in take care of business because they're they're
- 12:33Speaker 4: going to be the favorite on most of these games.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Here.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Moving forward, all right, Uh, let me get middle to
- 12:39Speaker 4: the text line here. I got one from I don't
- 12:43Speaker 4: see it. I don't see one here from the name,
- 12:47Speaker 4: but it was it was about Trey Lance, and it says,
- 12:50Speaker 4: did all the Cowboys get in the game? Uh, Sunday night,
- 12:53Speaker 4: thank you very much, have a good day. Yeah, every
- 12:56Speaker 4: every player that was active played, Trey Lance was in.
- 12:59Speaker 4: You did not play. Of course, there's rules to that.
- 13:02Speaker 4: He has to be the third quarterback, has to be
- 13:04Speaker 4: the other two guys have to be either injured or
- 13:07Speaker 4: getting medical attention in the tent. So that's the new
- 13:10Speaker 4: rule there. But he wasn't really considered active, so everybody
- 13:14Speaker 4: for both teams, Cowboys and Giants did play in the game.
- 13:17Speaker 4: All right, we're going from Maine to North Dakota. On
- 13:20Speaker 4: the phone line, Mitch in North Dakota, what's up hitting
- 13:23Speaker 4: all the states I've never been to.
- 13:26Speaker 14: Hey, Nick, it's great to be here, and you're just
- 13:28Speaker 14: doing a great job. I want to say that, thank
- 13:30Speaker 14: you foremost, thank.
- 13:31Speaker 1: You so much. I appreciate it. I'm having fun with
- 13:33Speaker 1: this show. This is this is fun.
- 13:35Speaker 14: Yeah, it's really great. And I like that people can
- 13:37Speaker 14: kind of take a little slight extra time and tell
- 13:40Speaker 14: their story or ask the question without having to feel
- 13:42Speaker 14: rushed against me.
- 13:43Speaker 4: I know, I know, yeah, I know, like Nate Newton
- 13:46Speaker 4: that he puts the time clock on it, I get it.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I mean, And that's fun.
- 13:49Speaker 4: And we talk about all the time, like we want
- 13:51Speaker 4: to get more calls more, you know, I think fifteen
- 13:53Speaker 4: to sixteen is about the most we can really do.
- 13:55Speaker 4: If not, we're just going to be rapid fire and
- 13:58Speaker 4: flying through and all that and that doesn't give you
- 13:59Speaker 4: guys chance to kind of talk, And of course.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I like to. I like to hear myself talk too,
- 14:03Speaker 1: So all right, Mitch, what do you got?
- 14:06Speaker 6: All right?
- 14:07Speaker 14: So real quick, I just wanted to I was curious
- 14:09Speaker 14: about Damone Clark and maybe I missed something on his status.
- 14:13Speaker 14: Is he still a kind of a long term, big
- 14:15Speaker 14: picture guy on this team? And then a couple of
- 14:18Speaker 14: blasts from the past for you. Yeah, Roy Williams the
- 14:21Speaker 14: Safeties number thirty one, one of my all time favorites,
- 14:25Speaker 14: kind of change the rules of the NFL with the
- 14:27Speaker 14: horse caller and uh, you know, things like that. But man,
- 14:31Speaker 14: a few could bring the woods like Roy There.
- 14:33Speaker 4: No doubt, one of my all time favorites, No no
- 14:36Speaker 4: doubt about it. Me too as well. I got a
- 14:39Speaker 4: story if we have time. I mean, of course we
- 14:42Speaker 4: have time, but I have a story there on Roy Williams.
- 14:45Speaker 1: But you haven't any question? Are you good? Or is
- 14:47Speaker 1: Damon Clark? Your question?
- 14:49Speaker 7: Demon Clark was my main question?
- 14:51Speaker 14: Yeah, and then the Roy williem story would be cool.
- 14:53Speaker 1: All right, all right?
- 14:55Speaker 4: Uh Damone Clark, Yeah, he's part of the plans. I mean,
- 14:58Speaker 4: he's a young linebacker. They they had a second round
- 15:01Speaker 4: great on before he injured his neck and wasn't sure
- 15:04Speaker 4: if he was going to be able to play last year.
- 15:05Speaker 4: They they really liked what they saw and in in
- 15:08Speaker 4: the in the medical reports and said, you know what,
- 15:11Speaker 4: we think we've got something here. And he was able
- 15:13Speaker 4: to play last year. I think they got him a
- 15:15Speaker 4: head start. Now he's playing fast and loose and uh,
- 15:17Speaker 4: there'll be some games where where you know, people have
- 15:20Speaker 4: different styles and I think you'll see him really flying
- 15:24Speaker 4: around the ball and getting in there. I think DeMont
- 15:26Speaker 4: Clark's ceiling is very high. They're really excited about him.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Roy Williams, you talk about full circle. Uh, he's one
- 15:35Speaker 4: of my favorite players. But for any and he was
- 15:39Speaker 4: I I love I remember when they when they drafted him,
- 15:41Speaker 4: and it was it was exciting. But he was one
- 15:43Speaker 4: of those guys that, like some players, they didn't always
- 15:47Speaker 4: understand what we do here at Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
- 15:50Speaker 4: They see us on the on the on the bus,
- 15:52Speaker 4: to see us on the plane and it's what, you know,
- 15:55Speaker 4: we're in the Star and all that kind of stuff
- 15:57Speaker 4: there it is, but but you know, and then and
- 16:00Speaker 4: then when things go a little bit sour with the
- 16:02Speaker 4: team or them personally. Then they take offense to us
- 16:06Speaker 4: being critical or just saying what we need to say.
- 16:10Speaker 4: So he was one that didn't didn't like that too much.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Hope.
- 16:15Speaker 4: I tell this story now because I consider really friend
- 16:18Speaker 4: and we were able to kind of patch it up.
- 16:20Speaker 1: But we were going into Atlanta.
- 16:23Speaker 4: We're playing it was the Falcons in two thousand and six,
- 16:26Speaker 4: late in the season, and you know, his at that point,
- 16:29Speaker 4: his career is kind of you know, he's been a
- 16:31Speaker 4: little rocky there. I think people realize that that, you know,
- 16:33Speaker 4: him at coverage and safety was at his spot. Also
- 16:36Speaker 4: the horse collar things. We're kind of getting to him.
- 16:40Speaker 4: I think mentally, I think that he was kind of,
- 16:43Speaker 4: you know, overbearing a little bit. It's a lot of
- 16:45Speaker 4: pressure on him. But we were at going to the
- 16:48Speaker 4: game and I was told by our operations guy, well,
- 16:50Speaker 4: this bus is full. Just get on this bus. Okay, cool.
- 16:52Speaker 4: I get on the bus. It's pretty empty. So I'm
- 16:54Speaker 4: sitting there. We're about ten minutes. Thankfully, it's only about
- 16:57Speaker 4: a ten minute drive there downtown in Atlanta. He comes
- 16:59Speaker 4: and sits down and I could just feel him staring
- 17:02Speaker 4: at me, and I kind of like look over and
- 17:03Speaker 4: I'm like. He looks at me, he's like, are you
- 17:05Speaker 4: supposed to be on this bus? And I was like, yeah,
- 17:07Speaker 4: is that okay? Probably shouldn't have said is that okay?
- 17:09Speaker 4: And he just looked at me. He's like, no, that
- 17:11Speaker 4: is not okay.
- 17:12Speaker 1: And he was he was pissed. He put his headphones on,
- 17:15Speaker 1: you know, he was just shaking his head.
- 17:16Speaker 4: And I was sitting here thinking like, why don't you
- 17:19Speaker 4: worry about Michael Vick, you know, why don't you worry
- 17:21Speaker 4: about that or Algie Crumpel or somebody like that.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I mean, you know, don't worry about who's on the bus.
- 17:25Speaker 4: But anyways, we ended up having a long, nice, long
- 17:29Speaker 4: talk at training camp probably the next year, on the
- 17:32Speaker 4: field in Oxnar for a long time. I kind of
- 17:34Speaker 4: told him where we stood. He told where you know,
- 17:36Speaker 4: his point was, and we began. It was cool to
- 17:39Speaker 4: the point where we were able to just a few
- 17:42Speaker 4: years ago to a documentary on him. We called it
- 17:44Speaker 4: The Late Hip, and I was one of the he
- 17:47Speaker 4: was one of the best people we've worked with on
- 17:49Speaker 4: these Deep Blue documentaries. He just said, hey, you do
- 17:52Speaker 4: it your way, You got whatever story you want to tell.
- 17:55Speaker 4: He opened up his home he opened up all of
- 17:57Speaker 4: his you know, all of his memorabilia that he had,
- 18:00Speaker 4: and so it was really cool. And I like Roy
- 18:03Speaker 4: a lot, understood a little bit where he was coming from.
- 18:06Speaker 4: And man, if he was playing in a different era,
- 18:09Speaker 4: he'd be in Hall of Fame. I mean, there's no
- 18:11Speaker 4: doubt about it. If he had played in the nineties,
- 18:12Speaker 4: that's why we called it the late hit. If he
- 18:14Speaker 4: was playing in the nineties or the eighties, he'd be
- 18:16Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame. And I firmly believe that.
- 18:18Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the caller, Tim in New York.
- 18:23Speaker 8: Tim.
- 18:23Speaker 1: What's up, Hey, Nick?
- 18:25Speaker 13: How are you on your show?
- 18:27Speaker 1: Thank you? I appreciate it, having a lot of fun.
- 18:31Speaker 11: Good.
- 18:31Speaker 13: Yeah, I've been following you for years, followed you on
- 18:33Speaker 13: the break and one thing that I had noticed I
- 18:36Speaker 13: called in on the break once about you know, getting
- 18:41Speaker 13: that trash can full of dirt in the middle because
- 18:44Speaker 13: of the concern this was under the Marinelli regime on defense.
- 18:49Speaker 13: And you know, as much as we all love Dan Quinn,
- 18:53Speaker 13: the thing that I was so concerned in watching even
- 18:56Speaker 13: that first drive against the Giants the other night before
- 18:59Speaker 13: the block fiell go. I mean, we still struggle with
- 19:03Speaker 13: the run defense, even you know, with having Hankins. We've
- 19:07Speaker 13: drafted Mazie, so they're doing the things that that you
- 19:10Speaker 13: and I actually wanted them to do. Uh, but it's
- 19:13Speaker 13: just still we're still struggling in that area. And I
- 19:16Speaker 13: don't want to be Debbie Downer, but you know, it's
- 19:18Speaker 13: the concern of the way if I were attacking this defense,
- 19:23Speaker 13: I mean, I'm going to run the ball as much
- 19:25Speaker 13: as possible and try to slow the game down because
- 19:29Speaker 13: I don't want to face that Cowboys pass rush obviously
- 19:32Speaker 13: or their secondary Yeah. I mean, how concerned are you
- 19:38Speaker 13: with what I'm saying here?
- 19:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's something to watch.
- 19:42Speaker 4: I don't I'm not concerned yet because the Week one
- 19:46Speaker 4: of the season is always a little bit of a
- 19:49Speaker 4: crap shoot. You know, you're trying to see you don't
- 19:51Speaker 4: really know exactly what teams are going to do and
- 19:54Speaker 4: what kind of schemes are gonna employ, you know, Like
- 19:58Speaker 4: I think the Giants came out did something different with
- 20:01Speaker 4: with the way that they block on their offensive line,
- 20:04Speaker 4: and it kind of took the Cowboys a little bit
- 20:06Speaker 4: by by storm. They adjusted patched it up and that
- 20:11Speaker 4: was the end of that now the game got out
- 20:13Speaker 4: of hand too. They didn't really run the balls. But
- 20:15Speaker 4: and that's gonna be the key is you got to
- 20:17Speaker 4: start fast. You can't get behind on the Cowboys and
- 20:19Speaker 4: then try to throw your way back into the game.
- 20:21Speaker 4: I think that that's going to be a recipe for
- 20:24Speaker 4: disaster for for most teams. So, I mean, it's it's
- 20:28Speaker 4: one it's one drive. Really, it's not just one game.
- 20:32Speaker 4: It was like one drive and to start the season.
- 20:35Speaker 4: I'm not saying don't worry about it. I'm saying, let's
- 20:38Speaker 4: just let's monitor it and let's see. I kind of
- 20:42Speaker 4: think that they're gonna be okay at defensive line. And
- 20:46Speaker 4: I think that they've they've you know, when Hankins is
- 20:48Speaker 4: in there, Hankins, Hankins did well. Hankins did well last year.
- 20:53Speaker 4: When he got hurt, they struggled something, he came back.
- 20:55Speaker 4: It's better. And I think Mazi's going to get better.
- 20:57Speaker 4: I think Damon Clark is a lot better there as well.
- 21:00Speaker 1: So not worried just yet. I'm not. I'm not worried
- 21:03Speaker 1: at all.
- 21:04Speaker 4: I'm saying I think if you are worried, let's let's
- 21:07Speaker 4: give it a little bit of time. And before we
- 21:09Speaker 4: we you know, before we really hit the panic button
- 21:12Speaker 4: on their run defense. All right, man, it's time to
- 21:15Speaker 4: take a break. But I'm gonna do a text line
- 21:17Speaker 4: question really quick here. This is from Dan and Philly.
- 21:20Speaker 4: He said, if Dak played like Josh Allen did last
- 21:23Speaker 4: night with all those picks, how.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Bad would he be?
- 21:25Speaker 4: Villified bad? That Dallas and Buffalo are different, I mean
- 21:30Speaker 4: that they're just they're different in the way that people
- 21:32Speaker 4: you know. I mean, I'm thankfully the NFL network is
- 21:35Speaker 4: showing here right now for turnovers twenty nine to forty one,
- 21:38Speaker 4: thirty six in a touchdown, you know, but it's it's
- 21:43Speaker 4: not the same. I mean, it's never been the same.
- 21:45Speaker 4: I mean, look at Romo. Romo would would never get
- 21:48Speaker 4: I mean, there were number one picks in the draft,
- 21:51Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford and and and Matt Ryan, which was a
- 21:54Speaker 4: third overall pick.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Those guys were you.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Know, those guys never got compared the same as to
- 22:00Speaker 4: It just doesn't. It doesn't happen that way. And you
- 22:02Speaker 4: know what the reason why that we do what we
- 22:05Speaker 4: do here and why we have eight shows and a
- 22:08Speaker 4: day and all that the coverage is there. That's the
- 22:10Speaker 4: way it is, and so you can't have it both ways.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Dak gets treated different than then quarterback, that's fine, but
- 22:17Speaker 4: if you're able to win, then you know he'll he'll
- 22:20Speaker 4: get treated differently as well. Let's go one more caller
- 22:23Speaker 4: before I take a break.
- 22:24Speaker 8: Here.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Kevin's on the line in Rochester, New York. Kevin, what's up?
- 22:28Speaker 12: And Nick? You have no idea? How excited I am
- 22:31Speaker 12: to talk to you?
- 22:33Speaker 1: What's up?
- 22:33Speaker 4: Man?
- 22:35Speaker 12: Hey, I'm just so jacked on your show, great show
- 22:38Speaker 12: that it's got six points real quick?
- 22:40Speaker 1: Six?
- 22:42Speaker 12: Why do we keep short changing ourselves? We keep calling
- 22:45Speaker 12: ourselves America's team. I think we conquered America back in
- 22:48Speaker 12: the seventies. We should be recognized, according to Forbes that
- 22:52Speaker 12: we should be the world's team and not Cowboys Nation.
- 22:55Speaker 12: Afty does this Cowboys universe because that's how large we are.
- 22:58Speaker 12: We have people calling from all over the country, all
- 23:01Speaker 12: over the world called it into the Cowboys. So I
- 23:03Speaker 12: think we should be recognized as the world team. And
- 23:07Speaker 12: on talking Cowboys, they asked the question about Minnesota versus
- 23:11Speaker 12: last year's Minnesota game versus this game against the Giants,
- 23:14Speaker 12: which one was more dominating. I gotta go with the
- 23:17Speaker 12: Minnesota game just because Cooper Rush was in the game
- 23:21Speaker 12: and not Dak Prescott. Third point. Would you please tell
- 23:24Speaker 12: my friend James were the Giants fan. I'm pretty sure
- 23:28Speaker 12: he's probably listening right now what you are known for
- 23:30Speaker 12: on the internet, and.
- 23:31Speaker 8: Is that a record? Nick Force?
- 23:35Speaker 12: The Giants game was the most pathetic game that they
- 23:38Speaker 12: have said the Cowboys and the Giants have ever come
- 23:42Speaker 12: together and played. For me, the most pathetic game to
- 23:47Speaker 12: me for the Cowboys is during the strike season, the
- 23:52Speaker 12: eighty three or eighty two season, when they played Washington.
- 23:56Speaker 12: We had some starters playing, they had none. To me,
- 24:00Speaker 12: that was the most pathetic game the Cowboys could have
- 24:02Speaker 12: ever played. I would love to hear your most athetic game.
- 24:06Speaker 12: Number five. Cowboys came to Rochester back in ninety five
- 24:10Speaker 12: ninety six, and I remember when Larry Brown we played
- 24:14Speaker 12: the forty nine Ers back then, and Larry Brown gave
- 24:17Speaker 12: up a touchdown to Jerry Rice right at the half,
- 24:20Speaker 12: and that sent me. That sent me on a downward spiral.
- 24:24Speaker 12: They came here to Rochester for a charity basketball game
- 24:28Speaker 12: and at the end of the game they're going around
- 24:30Speaker 12: doing autographs. Who comes to me for Larry Brown? And
- 24:35Speaker 12: I let him sign the autograph, and then I let
- 24:38Speaker 12: him have it, told him howypathetic he was for letting
- 24:41Speaker 12: Larry Rice you score that touchdown. If you talk to
- 24:44Speaker 12: Larry Brown, I'm pretty sure he'll remember that I'm the
- 24:47Speaker 12: guy he was talking to. And six and last of all,
- 24:51Speaker 12: who was on your Mount Rushmore? Four players? Who was
- 24:54Speaker 12: on your Mount Rushmore? I'll hang up all right, you
- 24:57Speaker 12: talk to.
- 25:00Speaker 4: I appreciate that probably should have gone to break before
- 25:04Speaker 4: the guy with the six points You should from Rochester,
- 25:09Speaker 4: New York. You should have played for the Giants. I mean,
- 25:11Speaker 4: if you had six points in your bag, the Giants
- 25:14Speaker 4: could have used you the other night. Wow, a lot
- 25:16Speaker 4: of stuff there. Your years are off a little bit
- 25:19Speaker 4: on some of this. From Minnesota. You talked about Minnesota
- 25:22Speaker 4: game that was Dak actually played that game last year.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Cooper played two years ago. The strike year you're referring
- 25:29Speaker 4: to was actually in nineteen eighty seven when the scab
- 25:31Speaker 4: guys played and the Cowboys lost to the Redskins. There
- 25:35Speaker 4: they had a few veterans playing in the game lost
- 25:38Speaker 4: to the Redskins. They made a movie out of that
- 25:40Speaker 4: called The Replacements. If you've seen that with Keanu Reeves.
- 25:44Speaker 4: I don't know about the most pathetic that whole season.
- 25:46Speaker 4: I mean, I don't understand Larry Brown. I doubt remembers that.
- 25:49Speaker 4: I don't think he's worried about that. And I kind
- 25:52Speaker 4: of disagree with you there because last I checked, Jerry
- 25:55Speaker 4: Rice beat a lot of people. He beat a lot
- 25:58Speaker 4: of corners for touchdowns in his career, So that was
- 26:02Speaker 4: a tough one. I know you're talking about NFC Championship game.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Gave up the play, but kind of redeemed himself the
- 26:07Speaker 4: next year when I'd win in Super Bowl MVP. Four
- 26:10Speaker 4: players on Mount rushmore. Let me think about that one,
- 26:13Speaker 4: and let's go to break. I'll come back. I'll think
- 26:15Speaker 4: about Mount Rush, but we're gonna go to break here
- 26:17Speaker 4: on Cowboys storyline, be right back.

- 28:23Speaker 1: The Cowboys storylines.
- 28:29Speaker 4: Welcome back Cowboys storyline. We're still talking about Kevin, the
- 28:34Speaker 4: last caller here. He had had all the point, had
- 28:37Speaker 4: some good stuff there, had some good stuff. And I
- 28:39Speaker 4: say this before we just talked about like we're not
- 28:42Speaker 4: putting a limit on callers or anything. That was just
- 28:44Speaker 4: a little long there. I might cut into how many
- 28:48Speaker 4: we have, but he had some good stuff. His last
- 28:50Speaker 4: question was Mount Rushmore. Who's on the Mount Rushmore? I
- 28:54Speaker 4: might put that on ex Twitter and see if what
- 28:57Speaker 4: the fans will throw in there. I think the Cowboys
- 29:00Speaker 4: Mount Rushmore for players. I mean, it's it's easy to
- 29:04Speaker 4: get three. I mean, I think Bob Lilly Rogers trapback
- 29:06Speaker 4: game at Smith for sure, it's your fourth one that
- 29:09Speaker 4: I think that probably tells you how old you are.
- 29:11Speaker 4: And also just kind of what you think about football
- 29:14Speaker 4: and and and do you like linemen? Do you like
- 29:17Speaker 4: you know the skill players.
- 29:18Speaker 13: I mean.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Aikman would be in there. Irvin, I mean Larry Allen
- 29:25Speaker 1: I think.
- 29:25Speaker 4: Is one of the better football players that's ever played
- 29:28Speaker 4: the game, and he was in therer Andy White, I mean,
- 29:30Speaker 4: take your pick on that fourth one. He asked my
- 29:33Speaker 4: mount rushmore like for me, like just the players that
- 29:36Speaker 4: I've watched and covered and for whatever the reason, different
- 29:40Speaker 4: you know, different lists because I view it differently. I'm
- 29:43Speaker 4: not saying these are the best players, these are my
- 29:45Speaker 4: favorite players. I would say Darren Woodson for sure, Jason Witten,
- 29:51Speaker 4: Tony dors Set, I mean Tony was set. That was
- 29:53Speaker 4: my guy growing up. I mean as a kid that
- 29:55Speaker 4: Tony was Set was the best. And then I don't
- 29:58Speaker 4: know that fourth one's tough.
- 29:59Speaker 1: I guess.
- 30:01Speaker 4: When Dion Sanders played for the Cowboys that he he
- 30:05Speaker 4: was my favorite player. I mean Deon Sanders was definitely
- 30:08Speaker 4: my favorite player without a doubt for the Cowboys. He
- 30:10Speaker 4: was That's the thing about Dion. He's you can like
- 30:14Speaker 4: him and hate him at the same time. That's that's
- 30:17Speaker 4: what he is.
- 30:17Speaker 1: That's what he's always done.
- 30:18Speaker 4: He was awesome with the forty nine ers when he
- 30:20Speaker 4: was kicking everyone's ass, including the Cowboys. But fun to watch. Uh,
- 30:24Speaker 4: that's just who he is. All right, let's go to
- 30:25Speaker 4: the phone lines again. Chris and Indy. What's up, Chris?
- 30:28Speaker 5: What's up? Nick?
- 30:30Speaker 6: I still can't believe I thought I was dreaming. I
- 30:33Speaker 6: was actually shocked. I went back watched All twenty two
- 30:36Speaker 6: and how good Chumo Doga played at guard. Much better
- 30:39Speaker 6: fit at guard than his attackle. I mean he actually
- 30:42Speaker 6: played really good.
- 30:43Speaker 8: Yeah, really good.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:45Speaker 6: Hopefully Tyler's back this week because Quinn and Williams for
- 30:48Speaker 6: the Jets. Oh that man is a monster. Monster.
- 30:52Speaker 4: That's gonna be a good one. I hope he's back too,
- 30:54Speaker 4: because I want to see that. I want to see
- 30:55Speaker 4: the strength on strength matchup.
- 30:58Speaker 6: Yeah, me too. And they did report that Rogers MRI
- 31:01Speaker 6: came back and tore in AHDL.
- 31:03Speaker 8: He's out for the years.
- 31:04Speaker 4: Acl or Yeah, okay, I thought it was going to
- 31:07Speaker 4: be an Achilles Achilles. Yeah, I think I think Achilles.
- 31:10Speaker 6: Yeah, Achilles I'm sorry Achilles Achilles.
- 31:12Speaker 1: On different injury for sure.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you what, man, that Achilles is undefeated
- 31:19Speaker 4: and uh A trainer told me not too long ago,
- 31:22Speaker 4: these soft tissue injuries. But Achilles mainly men thirty eight
- 31:26Speaker 4: to forty three. Thirty eight to forty three, Watch out
- 31:29Speaker 4: if you're out there thinking you can still play basketball
- 31:32Speaker 4: or do whatever, you can, be careful. Thirty eight to
- 31:34Speaker 4: forty three is the wheelhouse for an Achilles. And what
- 31:37Speaker 4: is Aaron Rodgers thirty nine?
- 31:39Speaker 6: Yeah, thirty thirty nine years old. That it's bad for
- 31:44Speaker 6: the Jets, you know, because they had a real they
- 31:46Speaker 6: got real team, they have real offensive plate maker Garrett Wilson.
- 31:49Speaker 6: That dude's so talented, so talented that that's was sick.
- 31:53Speaker 1: That was touched on. I was unelievable. You got a
- 31:56Speaker 1: question or you go ahead.
- 31:58Speaker 6: I want to give a shout out to Beam in
- 31:59Speaker 6: the back man. All these shows he does all day
- 32:02Speaker 6: long is unbelievable and amazing. I listened from the first
- 32:06Speaker 6: show to the very last show and knowing he's in
- 32:08Speaker 6: the back back there, just shout out to Beamer in
- 32:10Speaker 6: the back.
- 32:11Speaker 4: All right, that's awesome. You guys named Chris stick together,
- 32:14Speaker 4: I guess. But now you're one hundred percent right. He's
- 32:18Speaker 4: the MVP of all of our shows. He does, he
- 32:20Speaker 4: does a great job. Absolutely cares and I say that
- 32:24Speaker 4: he's listening, cares about the quality of the show. And
- 32:28Speaker 4: when you have that and you have people that actually
- 32:30Speaker 4: support and care, that's you can't beat that at all.
- 32:34Speaker 4: All right, Jeff in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Jeff, what is up?
- 32:39Speaker 8: Yeh, sir? I just want to say yesterday was kind
- 32:43Speaker 8: of a sad day for America. But let me just
- 32:45Speaker 8: say this. That was my birthday yesterday, okay, And I
- 32:50Speaker 8: just want to bring a little perspective here. I became
- 32:53Speaker 8: a Cowboys fan when I was seventeen years old. Yesterday
- 32:57Speaker 8: I turned seventy one. Wow, okay. It gives you an
- 33:00Speaker 8: idea of the scope of seeing what the Cowboys have
- 33:03Speaker 8: been doing over my lifetime. And I want to bring
- 33:07Speaker 8: this thought that when the when the Boys played that
- 33:12Speaker 8: game yesterday put the forty Burger on New York and
- 33:15Speaker 8: people are saying, Wow, is New York that bad? Is
- 33:17Speaker 8: New York that bad? I think we need to just
- 33:20Speaker 8: stop and say, you know what, New York really did
- 33:24Speaker 8: have a very good team. But that should tell you
- 33:27Speaker 8: that the way we're playing, we're in another level of play.
- 33:33Speaker 8: So these aren't bad teams. New York's not a bad team.
- 33:36Speaker 8: We're just that much better.
- 33:39Speaker 4: Yeah, it's we'll see, But I think you're right about that.
- 33:44Speaker 4: I don't think the Giants are that bad of a team.
- 33:47Speaker 4: I think that the Cowboys and also, you know we
- 33:52Speaker 4: talked about in boxing references to styles make fights. I
- 33:55Speaker 4: said this all last year. I said it in you
- 33:57Speaker 4: know leading up to this game. The Giants not better
- 34:00Speaker 4: than the Cowboys at all those two games. If you
- 34:04Speaker 4: look at it, they looked close, they were not.
- 34:06Speaker 1: They were not.
- 34:07Speaker 4: I remember the first game up there, I was like,
- 34:09Speaker 4: this should be a blowout. Cowboys are losing, Like what
- 34:12Speaker 4: is going on? They finally turned it on and won
- 34:14Speaker 4: the game. The Thanksgiving Day game, they were way better.
- 34:16Speaker 4: I think the Giants scored late to make it look
- 34:18Speaker 4: like it was closer than it was, but it was not.
- 34:21Speaker 4: They are not on the same level right now. The
- 34:23Speaker 4: scary part is is that the Giants drafted two first
- 34:27Speaker 4: round tackles in the top ten in the last few years,
- 34:30Speaker 4: Andrew Thomas, Evan Neil, and they didn't look like top
- 34:35Speaker 4: ten players. So there's a lot of teams out there
- 34:37Speaker 4: that don't have that kind of I guess talent at
- 34:40Speaker 4: offensive tackle. So it's gonna be it's gonna be a
- 34:44Speaker 4: challenge for them. All right, let's go to the calls.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Fernando in Miami, Fernando Bud.
- 34:53Speaker 5: Look, I was listening to the show and I heard
- 34:55Speaker 5: you say one of your favorite players was Dorset and
- 34:58Speaker 5: same here, So I was wouldn't it be beautiful before
- 35:02Speaker 5: we leave this earth to see a running back where
- 35:05Speaker 5: number thirty three again on the Cowboys.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Agree with that, I but I view it a little differently.
- 35:16Speaker 4: And I and I think that the equipment manager for
- 35:20Speaker 4: the Cowboys, Mike McCord, who who worked with Buck Buchanan,
- 35:24Speaker 4: who son Bucky Buchanan's on the staff now, so they
- 35:27Speaker 4: really take care of the history.
- 35:29Speaker 1: They really do.
- 35:29Speaker 4: And and I think for them they look at it
- 35:32Speaker 4: as more disrespectful, like we'll put thirty three, you know,
- 35:37Speaker 4: run out of numbers here, but we're not gonna put
- 35:39Speaker 4: them in a running back or you know, you might
- 35:42Speaker 4: see eight at some point, not in a quarterback. I
- 35:44Speaker 4: don't know about that, maybe not eight, twelve, seventy four.
- 35:47Speaker 4: But I'm just saying I but I as a tribute,
- 35:51Speaker 4: I think it would be really cool to see that.
- 35:55Speaker 4: I just I loved watching Tony dors said. I felt
- 35:58Speaker 4: like a trader though when I was ten years old,
- 36:00Speaker 4: because they signed Herschel and I liked Herschel too.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Herschel was like new and cool and big, strong guy.
- 36:06Speaker 1: But I, oh, yeah, well I loved both of them.
- 36:08Speaker 4: Throny doors set just when you look back, now see
- 36:10Speaker 4: I didn't realize at the time that how undersize he
- 36:14Speaker 4: was to play running back.
- 36:16Speaker 1: I just thought he was cool and fast and all that.
- 36:18Speaker 4: But I mean, to play that long and to play
- 36:20Speaker 4: at that size, it's pretty remarkable.
- 36:23Speaker 5: And one quick question, do you think them signing Gilmore
- 36:28Speaker 5: can have the same impact that when the Raiders got
- 36:32Speaker 5: Mike Haynes and they had Lester Hayes on the other side.
- 36:36Speaker 5: I remember in eighty three, I was like, Wow, this
- 36:38Speaker 5: is going to take that Raider team over the top.
- 36:41Speaker 5: And they beat the Eagles with Joe Worski.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Yeah beat the Yeah. Yeah.
- 36:51Speaker 4: I'm a little I'm kind of quirky when it comes
- 36:53Speaker 4: to years. I don't like correct the people. I think
- 36:55Speaker 4: that was a little that was a little later. I
- 36:58Speaker 4: think they beat the Eagles in eighty That might be
- 37:00Speaker 4: what you're talking about. I think you're talking about that.
- 37:02Speaker 4: That and I I don't remember when they signed these
- 37:04Speaker 4: guys and all that. I know that the Raiders won
- 37:06Speaker 4: in eighty three against the Redskins. I don't remember when
- 37:09Speaker 4: Hayes and Haynes got.
- 37:10Speaker 1: There and all that I was. I was probably in diapers. Yeah, yeah,
- 37:17Speaker 1: and yeah.
- 37:19Speaker 4: The guy the guy that people are referencing too, thanks
- 37:22Speaker 4: for the call, Fernando. The guy that people are referencing
- 37:25Speaker 4: a little bit sooner than that, but still always ago
- 37:28Speaker 4: was Charles Haley.
- 37:29Speaker 1: I mean, can you be that?
- 37:30Speaker 4: Or Dion I mean in ninety five, I mean Charles
- 37:33Speaker 4: Haley in ninety two. Those guys took him to another level.
- 37:37Speaker 4: The thing about Gilmore is he takes your superstar corner
- 37:42Speaker 4: to another level. Trayvon Diggs is at another level and
- 37:46Speaker 4: needs a little bit of help over there, like they
- 37:49Speaker 4: all do, and and and who knows. I mean gil
- 37:51Speaker 4: I'm not saying Gilmore. He was a defensive Player of
- 37:54Speaker 4: the Year himself, but I think that just having both
- 37:57Speaker 4: of them there on top of a pass rush that
- 38:00Speaker 4: is just absolute nasty. This defense is I mean, the
- 38:03Speaker 4: sky's limit, it really is.
- 38:05Speaker 1: All right?
- 38:06Speaker 4: Back to the line here, Vince in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
- 38:08Speaker 4: A lot of calls from New Mexico. It's it's uh
- 38:11Speaker 4: seems like a ton of cowboy fans there. So you
- 38:13Speaker 4: can either pick cowboys or Cardinals. You can go one
- 38:15Speaker 4: way or another. I think looks like they go Dallas.
- 38:18Speaker 4: All right, Vince, what's up?
- 38:19Speaker 8: Man?
- 38:20Speaker 6: Oh?
- 38:20Speaker 16: Not too much grace show once again.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Thanks man, I appreciate it.
- 38:23Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 38:24Speaker 16: I was just wondering on the New York Jets and
- 38:27Speaker 16: the Giants. Excuse me, how much familiality do you think
- 38:30Speaker 16: they have on both teams?
- 38:31Speaker 8: Because the defensive.
- 38:33Speaker 16: Line is pretty much the same as the Giants, but
- 38:37Speaker 16: their defensive backs are better. Their offense, Uh, pretty much
- 38:41Speaker 16: the same.
- 38:42Speaker 9: Don't you think.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Are you talking about the Jets offense and the Giants offense?
- 38:48Speaker 16: Yes, yeah, because they've got some good running backs. Yeah,
- 38:52Speaker 16: the wide receiver probably is a lot better. Their tight ends.
- 38:55Speaker 16: There's about the same, right, Uh, so I think they're
- 38:58Speaker 16: kind of familiar with that for the sames like that
- 39:01Speaker 16: and the defense. Of course, they just have better defensive backs,
- 39:05Speaker 16: but the front line is capable about the same as
- 39:09Speaker 16: the Giant.
- 39:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I get your point. I mean from
- 39:13Speaker 4: from a skills point standpoint there. Yeah, and also on
- 39:16Speaker 4: defense too, I mean where they're really good is right
- 39:18Speaker 4: there in the middle. I think the Jets have a
- 39:21Speaker 4: lot better cornerback though they're in Sauce gardner. But overall, yeah,
- 39:27Speaker 4: you can make some comparisons.
- 39:30Speaker 1: I can tell you this.
- 39:31Speaker 4: The Cowboys at training camp had about forty one assistant coaches. Okay,
- 39:37Speaker 4: I think I would imagine a lot of them probably
- 39:41Speaker 4: were glued into hard knocks when the Jets were on.
- 39:43Speaker 4: I mean you have to be, because it's not just
- 39:45Speaker 4: about certain things that a guy's micd up and he's
- 39:47Speaker 4: talking all that. They're looking at other little things up
- 39:50Speaker 4: there too. Now, now, most teams are really cognizant on
- 39:53Speaker 4: making sure they don't show, you know, things really wide
- 39:56Speaker 4: and all that kind of stuff. But I guarantee you
- 39:58Speaker 4: they were looking at that. So the Cowboys are probably
- 40:00Speaker 4: they're unfamiliar with the Jets, but I bet you they were.
- 40:02Speaker 1: They were.
- 40:03Speaker 4: They had that HBO Max subscription working there, and we're
- 40:06Speaker 4: in looking at that. Things have changed obviously now with
- 40:10Speaker 4: with the injury to Aaron Rodgers and and Zach Wilson
- 40:13Speaker 4: takes over. He's got some athletic ability too. He reminds
- 40:16Speaker 4: me a little bit of Daniel Jones too, and just
- 40:18Speaker 4: that he is very athletic, can can move around a
- 40:22Speaker 4: little bit. He'll turn the ball over some as well.
- 40:24Speaker 4: Breece Hall. I mean he's definitely back without that. He
- 40:28Speaker 4: looks he looked really good last night. So it's gonna
- 40:31Speaker 4: be a fun matchup. I mean it's you know, depends
- 40:34Speaker 4: on how you look at it. I mean, yeah, I
- 40:37Speaker 4: wanted them to play Aaron Rodgers. I mean that they
- 40:39Speaker 4: gain excitement, but this is still going to be a
- 40:41Speaker 4: huge game. I say it all the time. You've heard
- 40:44Speaker 4: me say it a billion times. Every year the schedule
- 40:46Speaker 4: comes out, I look at week two. Week two to
- 40:48Speaker 4: me is the most important one of the season. And
- 40:51Speaker 4: I still believe that. And I thought this year more
- 40:53Speaker 4: than ever. And the reason why I say that, if
- 40:55Speaker 4: you lose the first game, you better win the second game.
- 40:58Speaker 1: You can't go h and two. If you win the
- 40:59Speaker 1: first you got to stack it. You got it.
- 41:01Speaker 4: You can't show this is gonna be an eight and
- 41:03Speaker 4: eight type of thing. You've got to get up there.
- 41:05Speaker 4: I know they play seventeen now, but you have to
- 41:09Speaker 4: build on that. Especially with the Cardinals in coming, you
- 41:12Speaker 4: have a chance to really do something big. So this
- 41:14Speaker 4: game is really really important. All right, David and fort Worth,
- 41:18Speaker 4: you're on the line, David, what's up?
- 41:20Speaker 5: What's up?
- 41:21Speaker 8: Nick?
- 41:21Speaker 5: How you doing? Man?
- 41:22Speaker 1: Good?
- 41:23Speaker 5: Yes, sir, yes, sir.
- 41:24Speaker 17: Hey, I just wanted to ask you a question. I
- 41:26Speaker 17: listened to the Players Lounge as well as other podcasts,
- 41:28Speaker 17: and I was just wondering. I heard Newie scrugg I
- 41:31Speaker 17: believe it's Newie who mentioned that like he feels like
- 41:35Speaker 17: douce Van and Cavante Turpin are kind of like both
- 41:38Speaker 17: holding the same Russia spot, like essentially the same gadget
- 41:41Speaker 17: type of player. And I was just wondering, with Donovan
- 41:44Speaker 17: Wilson coming back and with Jay Lou coming back, like
- 41:47Speaker 17: what your take is on that if possibly one of
- 41:50Speaker 17: them can be kind of sidelined for a lash of spot.
- 41:53Speaker 17: And then I did want to throw Roy Williams thing
- 41:55Speaker 17: out there if I have time.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Yeah, go for it.
- 41:57Speaker 17: Man, You're going to correct me all the year because
- 42:00Speaker 17: you're the goat. Sorry, but I think it was like
- 42:02Speaker 17: six or oh five, and it was Dallas versus Eagles.
- 42:06Speaker 17: I think it was like a Monday night game, maybe
- 42:07Speaker 17: a Sunday night game, and mcnabblis was dealing with like
- 42:11Speaker 17: a sports hernia and Roy Williams got that pick six
- 42:13Speaker 17: at the end of the game, and I was a kid,
- 42:15Speaker 17: I was like in high school still, and I was
- 42:16Speaker 17: like fired up.
- 42:17Speaker 5: I was like, man, this is so sick.
- 42:19Speaker 17: I wore thirty one because of him. Didn't play anywhere
- 42:21Speaker 17: near as good as.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Him, But well, thank you for that. For that, I
- 42:27Speaker 1: of course I got a story for that.
- 42:29Speaker 4: It's called storyline, So I mean I I can definitely
- 42:33Speaker 4: have a story about That's one of my favorite stories
- 42:35Speaker 4: ever that that game right there, really quick though, what
- 42:37Speaker 4: you what you said? Uh, they have four running backs
- 42:40Speaker 4: active and Lipke's one of them obviously do is fun.
- 42:43Speaker 4: So you're right when you're thinking about inactives, it doesn't
- 42:46Speaker 4: always go a position for position four might be a
- 42:49Speaker 4: little heavy. Yeah, I mean, if if Turpan's going to
- 42:54Speaker 4: be used that way as a runner, then maybe they are.
- 42:57Speaker 4: It's kind of playing the same position right now. So well,
- 43:00Speaker 4: we'll see, we'll see what happens. We'll let them kind
- 43:02Speaker 4: of deal with that real quick on make sure I
- 43:04Speaker 4: don't have another caller.
- 43:05Speaker 1: I think that'll be it.
- 43:06Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell the story, then we'll wrap out the
- 43:09Speaker 4: Roy Williams game you're talking about. You were right two
- 43:10Speaker 4: thousand and five. I think they were down like twenty
- 43:14Speaker 4: to seven. They're down, and then late in the game,
- 43:17Speaker 4: and that game Parsales was the coach. And what happened
- 43:22Speaker 4: was is his brother. Parsales's brother passed away the weekend
- 43:27Speaker 4: before a few days before, and the funeral was that Monday.
- 43:33Speaker 4: It was a Monday night game. Like you said, it
- 43:35Speaker 4: was a Monday because we were you know, they lived
- 43:38Speaker 4: in New Jersey and it was Philly, so it was
- 43:39Speaker 4: really close. He was able to go and attend some
- 43:42Speaker 4: services that Monday. That's where they did his brother, who
- 43:45Speaker 4: played running back. I believe it army. And later in
- 43:50Speaker 4: the game, then then they're down and they get Cowboys
- 43:53Speaker 4: win and Roy Williams gets the pick, runs it in
- 43:56Speaker 4: for the touchdown, gives Parcels the game ball and he said,
- 44:00Speaker 4: you know, wow, this is awesome. Thank you, you know
- 44:02Speaker 4: so much, and he's walking out and he was reminded.
- 44:05Speaker 4: He said, you know, Roy Williams gave you the game ball.
- 44:08Speaker 4: Your brother Ward number thirty one, and Parcels, with tears
- 44:13Speaker 4: in his eyes, just looked at the guys and said,
- 44:16Speaker 4: hell of the day.
- 44:17Speaker 1: Hell of a day. So with that, let's leave. I
- 44:19Speaker 1: love that story.
- 44:20Speaker 4: I love that story and again and I and I
- 44:22Speaker 4: love Roy Williams. I think Roy Williams, I tell that story,
- 44:26Speaker 4: but to tell it that that I have a lot
- 44:28Speaker 4: of respect for him and and and the player he
- 44:30Speaker 4: was and all that.
- 44:31Speaker 1: But that was a cool game.
- 44:33Speaker 4: That was That was one of those those one of
- 44:34Speaker 4: those comeback wins against the Eagles on the road where
- 44:37Speaker 4: they basically just stole the game. So all right, so
- 44:40Speaker 4: for that storyline was in full effect. You guys got
- 44:44Speaker 4: eleven calls.
- 44:44Speaker 6: That was great.
- 44:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna say twelve because one guy like took up
- 44:47Speaker 1: a couple of calls there. But I love it. He
- 44:49Speaker 1: had some good stuff.
- 44:50Speaker 4: Always, all right, make sure to stay with us here
- 44:52Speaker 4: because coming up here in a few minutes, we've got
- 44:55Speaker 4: the Cowboys break and we got about five more shows
- 44:58Speaker 4: after that, So you can stay with us all all
- 45:00Speaker 4: day long. For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We'll see
- 45:02Speaker 4: you tomorrow. Cowboy storyline.
- 45:04Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot com and
- 45:07Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
