- 0:25Speaker 2: Good morning, and welcome to Cowboys Storyline. Thursday, August twenty eighth, Thursday.
- 0:32Speaker 2: That's right, that's one week away from the Cowboys taking
- 0:36Speaker 2: on the Philadelphia Eagles. We will be in Philly one
- 0:40Speaker 2: week from today. There won't be a show obviously that day,
- 0:43Speaker 2: not as a storyline show or another podcast. So there's
- 0:46Speaker 2: going to be a show obviously at the link later
- 0:50Speaker 2: that night. We'll see how the Cowboys perform in that show,
- 0:54Speaker 2: but certainly going to be a lot of fun. And
- 0:56Speaker 2: I know that we're going to be talking about that
- 0:58Speaker 2: and how the Cowboys match up and how they closed
- 1:00Speaker 2: the gap from what we saw last year and they
- 1:04Speaker 2: take on the defending champions eight eight eight five five
- 1:07Speaker 2: two two nine seven. I know you guys have a
- 1:09Speaker 2: lot to talk about. So last few days, we've got
- 1:13Speaker 2: ten callers right on the dot. Let's see if we
- 1:15Speaker 2: can get better than that. So that means you guys
- 1:17Speaker 2: got to go in and out. But try to get
- 1:19Speaker 2: your point across. We'll have good conversation, but we'll try
- 1:21Speaker 2: to move it along the best we can. Let's go
- 1:24Speaker 2: to Michael Colton, California. Michael, it's been a while. What's up.
- 1:28Speaker 4: What's going on? Nick? And shout out to the whole
- 1:31Speaker 4: Cowboys nation? And how about them Cowboys man. I'm just
- 1:35Speaker 4: very excited to have football back. And sometimes, you know what,
- 1:38Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep it real. This team frustration me. But
- 1:40Speaker 4: but I'm not even gonna bring all that up right now.
- 1:42Speaker 4: I just I love the Cowboys and I'm glad the
- 1:44Speaker 4: season is back, and I just I just wanted to
- 1:47Speaker 4: want to make two bold predictions. I think that Dadamn
- 1:50Speaker 4: Blue is gonna go for a thousand yards this year,
- 1:52Speaker 4: and I think we're gonna pull off ten winsday And
- 1:54Speaker 4: I'm gonna go ahead and leave it at that. God
- 1:56Speaker 4: bless you and the whole Cowboys nation, and shout out
- 1:59Speaker 4: to all the captains and have a great day everybody.
- 2:02Speaker 2: All right, nice couple of bold predictions there. Jayden blew
- 2:07Speaker 2: a thousand yards boy that that would be great, uh
- 2:10Speaker 2: for the for the Cowboys if if that is the case,
- 2:14Speaker 2: because he's gonna have to you know, he's gonna have
- 2:15Speaker 2: to do it early to to kind of show okay,
- 2:19Speaker 2: he's the guy, and then they's gonna have to get
- 2:20Speaker 2: you know, get more carries, get more carries. But he's
- 2:23Speaker 2: got to do everything, you know, to be on the field.
- 2:25Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta be the guy that they trust
- 2:28Speaker 2: for everything, not only blocking, not only you know, running
- 2:33Speaker 2: the right routes and lining up. We're supposed to line
- 2:36Speaker 2: up and hang on to the football and all those
- 2:38Speaker 2: kind of things. So, you know, I think he's a
- 2:41Speaker 2: dynamic player. I I don't know if he's gonna get
- 2:43Speaker 2: enough touches to get that thousand yards, but I think
- 2:46Speaker 2: that he's going to be a player that is gonna
- 2:50Speaker 2: kind of be a game changer. And I see a
- 2:54Speaker 2: lot of the Tony Pollard stuff with him when they
- 2:57Speaker 2: had Zeke and Zeke was still productive and Pollard would
- 3:00Speaker 2: come in and kind of have a different role. And
- 3:02Speaker 2: I think that there's a there is a good role
- 3:04Speaker 2: for that. So all right, good, good way to start
- 3:07Speaker 2: us off. How about Anthony and Miami's next Anthony.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Nick the quick? What's up, my guy?
- 3:13Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 3:14Speaker 5: Man? You know what time it is with me?
- 3:16Speaker 6: Baby?
- 3:16Speaker 5: He's always positively, always inspiration. Gonna get a people a
- 3:19Speaker 5: little positive and inspiration the beginning of the season. Point baby,
- 3:24Speaker 5: I gotta have the entertainment section now, nigga haven't done
- 3:26Speaker 5: anything in a while. So let's go ahead and let
- 3:29Speaker 5: me let me get these five bars in. Do you mind?
- 3:31Speaker 2: Go for it?
- 3:33Speaker 5: All right, ladies and gentlemen, Cowboy fans all around, get lit,
- 3:39Speaker 5: get hyped for the best football show in town, our
- 3:42Speaker 5: Boys versus the Eagles to start the twenty twenty five
- 3:45Speaker 5: NFL season. Anthony's gonna stay down hard cowboy. Don't need
- 3:49Speaker 5: no rhyme, don't need no reason be it picked six
- 3:53Speaker 5: pass run from a return on Arby's foot. As long
- 3:57Speaker 5: as we got the dub, I don't care what it took,
- 4:00Speaker 5: ain't pick and that that offense is scored enough to
- 4:03Speaker 5: be a MoMA leaders of the pet So stop complaining
- 4:06Speaker 5: about what we don't have and who ain't here. Let's
- 4:09Speaker 5: cheer our Cowboys to a happy, healthy, super Bowl year.
- 4:13Speaker 5: That's what I'm about, all right, all right, you know
- 4:16Speaker 5: what I'm saying. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, man, that's pretty good. I like it.
- 4:21Speaker 2: If you had a little music. All right, Anthony, appreciate that.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Uh you know, if that had a little music to it,
- 4:29Speaker 2: a little beat, I think that could have been something
- 4:31Speaker 2: that wasn't terrible, That wasn't terrible at all. That's that's
- 4:34Speaker 2: pretty good stuff. I like that, you know what, especially
- 4:38Speaker 2: somebody that that you know, brings the passion like that
- 4:41Speaker 2: and takes the time and energy to do that. I
- 4:43Speaker 2: bet I bet it wasn't. I bet we didn't have
- 4:46Speaker 2: to rehearse that long. You know, he probably flowed that
- 4:49Speaker 2: out pretty quickly. Good stuff, though, I like, like these
- 4:51Speaker 2: two callers, all right, let's go, let's keep it rolling though.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Lestern Minnesota, Lester, what's up?
- 4:57Speaker 3: Hey?
- 4:57Speaker 7: What's up?
- 4:58Speaker 4: And next?
- 4:59Speaker 7: Hey, I just got a couple of things to say.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Anny, are you going to sing your rap or anything? No, No,
- 5:07Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to follow that, you know.
- 5:11Speaker 7: I know I'm gonna come with a little a little
- 5:13Speaker 7: It may sound comedic, but I believe that this would
- 5:17Speaker 7: would stop it. But first thing I want to say
- 5:20Speaker 7: is I love to practice squad List, especially Eliza clark
- 5:25Speaker 7: on back. Glad he's back on the list. Yeah, now
- 5:28Speaker 7: that the second thing I want to say that is
- 5:30Speaker 7: gonna sound comedic to some people or whatever. But I
- 5:34Speaker 7: know how you could. What does the push push rate
- 5:39Speaker 7: of success have probably over ninety I know how you
- 5:43Speaker 7: can bring that down to fifty percent? Of Lord, here's
- 5:47Speaker 7: what here's my suggestion. I know it's funny, but whatever.
- 5:51Speaker 7: Go over to Japan and get two big Suma wrestlers.
- 5:58Speaker 7: Suit them up. I know, gon't waste your you know,
- 6:02Speaker 7: your your your money and your spots on the on
- 6:05Speaker 7: the team or whatever. Suit them up, and that's their
- 6:07Speaker 7: only purpose is to go in on the Toush push
- 6:11Speaker 7: and shop it. Seven hundred pounds sumer wrestler. Two of them.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Stop.
- 6:16Speaker 7: But that's all I got, go cowboys.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Okay, all right, thanks thanks for the call. The fact
- 6:22Speaker 2: that you're laughing at your own statement, though, it is
- 6:24Speaker 2: pretty much all I need to know on that one. Yeah,
- 6:27Speaker 2: that that would sound cool if that's all you had
- 6:30Speaker 2: to do, you know, if it's just you know, this
- 6:33Speaker 2: isn't like college football where you can have ninety players.
- 6:35Speaker 2: So if you can do that and put them out
- 6:37Speaker 2: there and they don't have to do anything else, sure,
- 6:42Speaker 2: But the one thing I've noticed about the Toush push
- 6:46Speaker 2: is once you start figuring out what's going on. Then
- 6:49Speaker 2: they can fake it, and you've seen other plays around it.
- 6:52Speaker 2: You've seen some passes that come from it. So you know,
- 6:57Speaker 2: as soon as you start putting big guys in the
- 6:59Speaker 2: front to say we're gonna stop that, that's where they
- 7:02Speaker 2: can leak out and do some other things. So it's it's,
- 7:05Speaker 2: you know, I hate the play. I think it's it
- 7:07Speaker 2: should be illegal. I've said it many times. It has
- 7:10Speaker 2: nothing to do with the Eagles or whatever. It's just
- 7:13Speaker 2: that I don't agree with it. It's a hypocritical because
- 7:17Speaker 2: you're basically leveraging other people to move you, and you
- 7:21Speaker 2: can't do that in other other spots on the field.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Leveraging is actually a penalty in blocking a field goal.
- 7:27Speaker 2: You can't jump on someone's back to block a field goal,
- 7:29Speaker 2: So why should you be able to push someone in
- 7:31Speaker 2: the back to get to get yardage that you're not
- 7:34Speaker 2: going to get otherwise? That just doesn't make sense, I mean,
- 7:37Speaker 2: one way or another. If that's the case, then let
- 7:40Speaker 2: me stand on someone's shoulders right and you know, and
- 7:43Speaker 2: then block field goals back from you know, sixty five
- 7:46Speaker 2: yard field goal. Just have some couple of people standing
- 7:49Speaker 2: on the shoulders down there, by the by the goal
- 7:51Speaker 2: post and they you know, and then so when the
- 7:53Speaker 2: kicks come and just just block it, just goaltend. I mean,
- 7:57Speaker 2: can't do that either. So that's my point is that's
- 7:59Speaker 2: why I don't really like the tush push. I just
- 8:01Speaker 2: don't think you should be able to do that. And
- 8:03Speaker 2: it's not even that I don't even like it. When
- 8:06Speaker 2: the guy gets six yards down the field and then
- 8:09Speaker 2: the defense stops them and they're all there, and next
- 8:11Speaker 2: thing you know, four linemen come flying in and shove
- 8:14Speaker 2: it four more yards. You know, if the defense did
- 8:17Speaker 2: it and shoved it four yards back, they wouldn't the
- 8:19Speaker 2: ball wouldn't be back there. So I just feel like
- 8:22Speaker 2: they it's hard. It's a hard play to to to,
- 8:26Speaker 2: you know, kind of legalize, but but I just think
- 8:31Speaker 2: it's a hard play to officiate. Really, what I'm trying
- 8:33Speaker 2: to say is the fact that, like four, progress is stopped,
- 8:36Speaker 2: so why should other people allow that progress to start up? Again?
- 8:41Speaker 2: I hate it, but it is what it is. They
- 8:43Speaker 2: haven't changed it, so that's that's it. And then you know,
- 8:45Speaker 2: the Cowboys, the best way to do it is that
- 8:47Speaker 2: don't put them on the one or two yard line.
- 8:49Speaker 2: You know, and that's you got to stop them before
- 8:51Speaker 2: they get to that point. All right, let's go to
- 8:53Speaker 2: Dell in Northport, Florida. Hey, how are you hey?
- 8:58Speaker 8: All right?
- 8:58Speaker 9: So I listened back to the show yesterday. I didn't
- 9:01Speaker 9: call intill later on the show, so I missed the
- 9:03Speaker 9: Rob's cousin in New York talking there. Or maybe it
- 9:05Speaker 9: was Rob with a voice changer, I don't know, but
- 9:07Speaker 9: they're like the same guy, I feel like. And he's
- 9:10Speaker 9: talking about LT and Mike right, and it's like, Mike
- 9:14Speaker 9: is not LT. And I'm not going to sit here
- 9:15Speaker 9: and say he is LT. Right Lawrence Taylor, but we
- 9:18Speaker 9: forget right, Lawrence Taylor is like the Saint of edge
- 9:22Speaker 9: players or dns or whatever. And he played for thirteen years.
- 9:26Speaker 9: His team's made the playoffs six times, so less than
- 9:28Speaker 9: half of his season's played. So does he suck now
- 9:31Speaker 9: because the team missed the playoffs all those years in
- 9:33Speaker 9: the third of those playoff runs, right, So yeah, third
- 9:37Speaker 9: of those playoff runs ended with the Giants getting blown out?
- 9:40Speaker 9: So does that mean Lawrence Taylor sucks or that he's
- 9:42Speaker 9: not the guy that he is? Like, it's easy to
- 9:44Speaker 9: sit here and look at the team losing or getting
- 9:46Speaker 9: blown out and being like, well, your highest paid player
- 9:49Speaker 9: didn't have any sacks in the stat sheet, so you
- 9:52Speaker 9: know it's his fault. He sucks when you can literally
- 9:55Speaker 9: just turn on the film, go look at the AL
- 9:56Speaker 9: twenty two and it's easy to see what he does
- 10:00Speaker 9: even if he's not showing up on the stats sheet.
- 10:01Speaker 9: I mean, I'm watching him in the Green Bay game.
- 10:04Speaker 9: He takes on a tight end on a ship block, right,
- 10:06Speaker 9: takes on the right tackle, goes and takes on the
- 10:09Speaker 9: running back, still gets a quarterback pressure. This is all
- 10:11Speaker 9: less than three seconds. And then Jordan loves backpedaling and
- 10:14Speaker 9: just chucks the ball down the field on a Hail
- 10:16Speaker 9: Mary looking throw and there's not a dB within twenty
- 10:18Speaker 9: yards of the receiver. Now has that on? Micah Parsons like,
- 10:21Speaker 9: it's more than one guy. And I'm not saying Micah
- 10:24Speaker 9: is is the end all be all here all for everything.
- 10:27Speaker 9: But you look at the stats and all the advanced
- 10:29Speaker 9: analytics and everything. You see the EPA, which is I know,
- 10:31Speaker 9: you know, but it's expected points at it. It's an
- 10:33Speaker 9: advanced analytics stat They're the number one ranked team in
- 10:37Speaker 9: the NFL. Since he's been in the league in that
- 10:39Speaker 9: particular stat, which is it just measures success per play,
- 10:42Speaker 9: and without him on the field, they're dead last. So
- 10:44Speaker 9: like every stat, every piece of film you can look at,
- 10:47Speaker 9: everything indicates that this team is light years better with
- 10:50Speaker 9: Micah on the field and without. And I can understand
- 10:53Speaker 9: if people want to trade him and get the draft
- 10:54Speaker 9: capital and rebuild and all. That's all logical. It makes sense.
- 10:57Speaker 9: But I won't understand for the life of me, the
- 10:59Speaker 9: passion some these fans have in trading him because they
- 11:02Speaker 9: think he's not good enough. That's where it kind of
- 11:05Speaker 9: rupts me the wrong way.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's he's phenomenal. You're right about that.
- 11:09Speaker 2: The stats show that when he was here last year,
- 11:11Speaker 2: the last what five or six games, when he came
- 11:13Speaker 2: back from the injury, I think they led the team,
- 11:15Speaker 2: led the league in sacks, not just him, but the
- 11:18Speaker 2: other guys.
- 11:18Speaker 9: All of a sudden, they couldn't even get a pressure
- 11:20Speaker 9: on the quarterback right without him there, And all of.
- 11:21Speaker 2: A sudden, Carl Lawson has five, you know, five sacks.
- 11:25Speaker 2: You know he's not in the league, right, I don't believe.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And so that's you know, that's kind of the point
- 11:31Speaker 2: so you're right. I agree with you one hundred percent.
- 11:33Speaker 2: It's just now, are they going to put up with
- 11:36Speaker 2: with everything? Are they willing to to, you know, take
- 11:40Speaker 2: it to the next level, Because that's that's the key
- 11:43Speaker 2: I think with with Micah is trying to figure out
- 11:46Speaker 2: and I think what the Cowboys are trying to figure
- 11:47Speaker 2: out is based off of, you know, based off of
- 11:50Speaker 2: his body tie, based off of how he takes care
- 11:52Speaker 2: of himself and all these kind of things. As he
- 11:55Speaker 2: gets to the next wave here from what twenty five
- 11:59Speaker 2: to thirty, is he gonna still be the same? Is
- 12:02Speaker 2: he gonna be the same player? I mean, it's hard
- 12:04Speaker 2: for me to say that he's not, but history shows
- 12:08Speaker 2: that typically you're not so.
- 12:11Speaker 9: Right, and you're gonna pay the guy based on what
- 12:14Speaker 9: he's done and what you expect him to do. But
- 12:16Speaker 9: I mean, this is his first big contract and I
- 12:18Speaker 9: think he's got at least another four years worth of
- 12:21Speaker 9: big money in him. At the end of night, he's
- 12:23Speaker 9: rusts to tail off, figure out, then trade him whatever
- 12:25Speaker 9: whatever you're gonna do at that point, but to not
- 12:27Speaker 9: pay him now. Again, if you're a rebuilding you want
- 12:29Speaker 9: to pick that's fine. But as Cowboys fans. I just
- 12:32Speaker 9: think we've got to do better and giving him credit
- 12:33Speaker 9: where credits due, because a lot of us are disassociating
- 12:36Speaker 9: ourselves with him and how great he's actually been for
- 12:39Speaker 9: the sake of well, maybe they just don't like the guy,
- 12:41Speaker 9: his character, whatever it might be, when in reality he's
- 12:44Speaker 9: been like the elite of the elite in the NFL.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's a great point, Dylan, and I
- 12:49Speaker 2: appreciate you calling and throwing that in there. You're right
- 12:51Speaker 2: and voice or reason there. And you know, I is
- 12:56Speaker 2: he gonna get traded? I don't know. I mean I
- 13:00Speaker 2: at this point, I couldn't tell you. My heart says
- 13:05Speaker 2: I hope he isn't because and yeah, I see the
- 13:09Speaker 2: draft picks and all that stuff, but I don't think
- 13:12Speaker 2: they're going to be great.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Now.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Do you package those up? Sure you can do that.
- 13:18Speaker 2: And if you feel like you needed to get a
- 13:20Speaker 2: quarterback in the next few years, then having multiple first
- 13:24Speaker 2: round picks, regardless of where they are, that can probably
- 13:27Speaker 2: help you get get to where you want to go.
- 13:29Speaker 2: But I'm with Dylan on you know, when he's on
- 13:33Speaker 2: the field, he's he's an absolute badass, and I think
- 13:39Speaker 2: he makes your team so much better. We've seen that.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I mean, when he's played most of the season, you know,
- 13:47Speaker 2: they win twelve games. Now, last year he missed her
- 13:49Speaker 2: i think five games and they were seven and ten.
- 13:52Speaker 2: It's not just because of that. I don't know if
- 13:54Speaker 2: they would have been you know, a lot lot better
- 13:56Speaker 2: if he was out there, but he missed some key games.
- 14:00Speaker 2: You know, I guarantee Detroit's not beating them forty seven
- 14:04Speaker 2: to nine. They're not beating them like that. If Michael
- 14:07Speaker 2: Parsons is out there, no, they were a better team.
- 14:10Speaker 2: They're probably gonna win the game. But I just think
- 14:12Speaker 2: he makes everything so much better. And sometimes you got to,
- 14:17Speaker 2: you know, figure out is it worth it? And you know,
- 14:22Speaker 2: if you've watched the documentary, the Netflix documentary, you know
- 14:27Speaker 2: the Gambler and America's Team and all that. I mean, well,
- 14:32Speaker 2: there are a lot of guys that Jerry was like,
- 14:34Speaker 2: well he's worth it, Michael Irvin being one of them,
- 14:36Speaker 2: all the stuff we have to do, all of these things,
- 14:39Speaker 2: is he worth it? And so that's why we just
- 14:42Speaker 2: haven't seen that if they'd make this trade, if they
- 14:45Speaker 2: decide that Mike is not not you know, going to
- 14:48Speaker 2: be on the team. It would be really the first
- 14:51Speaker 2: time since like herschel Walker, that they've said, all right,
- 14:55Speaker 2: let's go the other way, because it's usually Jerry on
- 14:57Speaker 2: the other end of a player like this and saying,
- 15:00Speaker 2: all right, he's got problems, so he's got issues. All right,
- 15:03Speaker 2: well I'll deal with that as long as he's going
- 15:06Speaker 2: to do this. And we've seen that happen Charles Haley,
- 15:09Speaker 2: Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones, a lot of other players. Some
- 15:13Speaker 2: worked out, some some it didn't. But we just haven't
- 15:17Speaker 2: really seen it much from from this and uh this point.
- 15:21Speaker 2: So if it happens, it'll be be one of the
- 15:23Speaker 2: biggest biggest moves ever. So all right, let's go to Uh.
- 15:28Speaker 2: I'm a in Napa, California. I'm a what's up?
- 15:32Speaker 10: Hey?
- 15:32Speaker 11: What's going on? Nick? How are you today?
- 15:34Speaker 2: How are you?
- 15:35Speaker 11: I'm great, I'm great. Thanks for rapking, just really quick
- 15:39Speaker 11: on micas since it's you know, it's being thrown out there.
- 15:42Speaker 11: I mean it's the head headlines, man, I why would
- 15:47Speaker 11: you get rid of approving commodity, you know, for draft
- 15:51Speaker 11: draft picks. I get that, like you know, but you
- 15:54Speaker 11: don't know what those picks turn into. I mean, they
- 15:57Speaker 11: could turn into other steads, they could turn into the flops,
- 16:00Speaker 11: you know. Uh, but Mike and Mike has proven and
- 16:05Speaker 11: you know with the pieces that they've kind of added,
- 16:08Speaker 11: I mean, or as far as more defensive ends and
- 16:11Speaker 11: stuff like that. Again, just think, you know, when he's
- 16:14Speaker 11: on the field, you got to see what he is
- 16:17Speaker 11: with with the players that we have now and again,
- 16:20Speaker 11: he's a proven commodity. Like you said before, you prove.
- 16:23Speaker 11: It's not that we win these games when he's for
- 16:25Speaker 11: sure there, but you know, we like our chances better.
- 16:29Speaker 11: I think, you know, just kind of you're saying, I think,
- 16:31Speaker 11: are you know, maybe you add another win or two there,
- 16:34Speaker 11: maybe we make it in the playoffs or not. But
- 16:37Speaker 11: at the end, once you put the pieces around him,
- 16:40Speaker 11: he's the next factor that's going to change the game.
- 16:42Speaker 11: But yeah, I just you know, it's it's it's a
- 16:46Speaker 11: par for the course with Jerry.
- 16:48Speaker 6: And the team. You know.
- 16:50Speaker 11: He's getting you know, things are just going to be happening.
- 16:53Speaker 11: It's never going to be settled. But you know, I
- 16:56Speaker 11: just hope he sticks around.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Man.
- 16:57Speaker 11: I want to see him out there. I want to
- 16:58Speaker 11: see him in the Cowboys uniform plan. But more so
- 17:02Speaker 11: I was calling in to ask about you know, now
- 17:05Speaker 11: that the rosters kind of settled, is there anybody that
- 17:09Speaker 11: you felt like was a big surprise to you? And
- 17:12Speaker 11: do you think that with like Geiton.
- 17:14Speaker 6: Being hurt and like missing so much a preseason, do
- 17:18Speaker 6: you think he's just like a plug and play guy
- 17:21Speaker 6: or do you think that they give Jones a chance
- 17:25Speaker 6: at that? And then same with Sanders, like it's kind
- 17:28Speaker 6: of surprised he made the team. Do you see him
- 17:31Speaker 6: getting any carries at it at all?
- 17:33Speaker 11: I'd rather than just go with them with Williams and
- 17:38Speaker 11: then Blue is the third guy, the third down guy,
- 17:42Speaker 11: as long as he can block and just mixing some turp.
- 17:45Speaker 11: And I just don't see a place for Sanders. I
- 17:48Speaker 11: don't want them wasting any carries on him, like, give
- 17:52Speaker 11: give Blue a chance, you know Williams, Like, I just
- 17:56Speaker 11: don't see any reason why Sanders should be out there,
- 17:59Speaker 11: unless you know, Williams gets hurt or something like that.
- 18:02Speaker 2: And who do you want to play at left tackle
- 18:04Speaker 2: instead of guiding or or maybe they might play What
- 18:08Speaker 2: are you talking about, Nate Thomas?
- 18:11Speaker 11: Yes, yes, yes, sorry I think I said I don't.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Know, right, Yeah, Robert, Yeah, Nate Thomas. I mean, good
- 18:21Speaker 2: luck with either one. Thanks for the call. I mean
- 18:23Speaker 2: good stuff, good things to think about. As far as
- 18:27Speaker 2: left tackle goes. That's a great question. Is guiding to
- 18:31Speaker 2: the point where you're like, oh, plug and play. You know,
- 18:34Speaker 2: you haven't practiced in a month since you got hurt,
- 18:37Speaker 2: come on back. But that's the key is when he
- 18:42Speaker 2: comes back to practice. And so it was a good
- 18:44Speaker 2: sign the other day that he was doing some things. Uh,
- 18:47Speaker 2: tomorrow is a big practice day for them, and kind
- 18:49Speaker 2: of this kind of starts the week of practice. So
- 18:51Speaker 2: I think if he can get out there and and
- 18:53Speaker 2: he you know, he did some some good things, So
- 18:56Speaker 2: I think he's already kind of in that in that
- 18:58Speaker 2: uh kind of in that transition back. I think he'll
- 19:03Speaker 2: have a couple of practices under his belt. And if
- 19:05Speaker 2: that's the case, then I think, yeah, they'll they'll they'll
- 19:07Speaker 2: put him out there. You know, Nate Thomas has got
- 19:10Speaker 2: a lot of work. But I still I think their
- 19:14Speaker 2: goal was to try to get Tyler Guidon in there
- 19:18Speaker 2: to to practice some so he could be ready to
- 19:21Speaker 2: play that that first game and then ask for Miles Sanders.
- 19:24Speaker 2: That's a little bit of a surprise too. You know,
- 19:26Speaker 2: Miles was a surprise, but as far as keeping all
- 19:32Speaker 2: the backs there, you know, I didn't think that they would.
- 19:36Speaker 2: I didn't think they would keep Williams and Sanders and Blue,
- 19:41Speaker 2: but or I really thought they might bring somebody else in,
- 19:44Speaker 2: but it just didn't materialize. So you never know something
- 19:47Speaker 2: might might happen. You know, we haven't seen a ton
- 19:50Speaker 2: of Miles Sanders yet. We don't really know how that
- 19:52Speaker 2: all that's gonna work. I kind of thought he was
- 19:55Speaker 2: the favorite for me going into the season, that he
- 19:58Speaker 2: would be the guy that would start. I'm not looking
- 20:01Speaker 2: at what he did in Carolina. I don't think anybody's
- 20:03Speaker 2: gone to Carolina and had success in the last few years,
- 20:06Speaker 2: so I don't I don't even think about that. I
- 20:08Speaker 2: thought he was a pretty productive player for the Eagles,
- 20:10Speaker 2: and I thought, you know, based off a good situation,
- 20:12Speaker 2: he could be that guy here. And maybe he can be.
- 20:15Speaker 2: So we'll see what kind of role that is. I
- 20:17Speaker 2: I think we're putting a lot of a lot of
- 20:20Speaker 2: eggs in the basket of Jayden Blue. I really do.
- 20:22Speaker 2: It's a fifth round pick. A lot of teams passed
- 20:26Speaker 2: on him, including the Cowboys a few times, so he's
- 20:29Speaker 2: got some things, some growing you know, pains that he's
- 20:33Speaker 2: gonna he's gonna experience. You know, he's he's a dynamic
- 20:37Speaker 2: runner as far as you know athletic ability. But I
- 20:41Speaker 2: still think there are some things about him and I
- 20:44Speaker 2: just have a hard time thinking he's going to come
- 20:46Speaker 2: right in and be great. Now, is he Kyrin Williams
- 20:49Speaker 2: from the Rams fifth round pick? That would be that
- 20:52Speaker 2: would be awesome. But remember this, though, I did a
- 20:55Speaker 2: study just a couple of years ago about or just
- 20:58Speaker 2: last year, just about you know, the last six years
- 21:01Speaker 2: of all the running backs that make the Pro Bowl,
- 21:05Speaker 2: it's about eighty five percent of them or first or
- 21:07Speaker 2: second round picks. Now there's a couple of there's some
- 21:10Speaker 2: third rouders like Kamara's made it a couple of times,
- 21:14Speaker 2: you know, And I think most Sturt from Miami was
- 21:17Speaker 2: a fifth round pick, and Karen Williams is a fifth
- 21:19Speaker 2: round pick. So and then there's been an undrafted player.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Maybe most was the undrafted player, but there's only a few.
- 21:26Speaker 2: And so the point is is that, you know, it's
- 21:30Speaker 2: it's it's rare that a guy could come right in
- 21:32Speaker 2: like like Blues. So let's just be careful by saying
- 21:35Speaker 2: why is he taking his snaps and all that. I
- 21:38Speaker 2: think there there's a lot more to it. Let's go
- 21:39Speaker 2: to Zach in Atlanta here before we take a break.
- 21:42Speaker 12: Oh oh, let's go.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Okay, oh, let's go.
- 21:49Speaker 13: In the words of Jason Garrett, it's what Monday right now?
- 21:53Speaker 2: First of all, those weren't the words of Jason Garrett,
- 21:56Speaker 2: so I love how you did that. And then say,
- 21:58Speaker 2: in the words of Jason Garrett because those two things
- 22:01Speaker 2: didn't mix. Sorry, in the words of Jason Garrett.
- 22:04Speaker 13: What on game week when it was an off schedule game.
- 22:08Speaker 13: It's like he said, well, it's it's Monday right now? Yeah, yeah,
- 22:14Speaker 13: happy Thursday. Yeah?
- 22:16Speaker 2: What is this?
- 22:18Speaker 13: Yeah? And I'm also clapping at the same time right now?
- 22:21Speaker 13: Hey quick, I mean, yeah, super stoked. Let's go, man,
- 22:24Speaker 13: it's game week. What what do you make of the
- 22:28Speaker 13: roster moves? We we let go two of our corners
- 22:33Speaker 13: and then we brought in two guys off of waivers
- 22:36Speaker 13: or something like that. I mean, what do you make
- 22:38Speaker 13: of what we're doing week one? At corner? I assume
- 22:42Speaker 13: kyer Elam and then Jern Bland of course, but what
- 22:48Speaker 13: else are we doing? Because we let go Booth and
- 22:52Speaker 13: Zion Childress, if I'm not mistaken.
- 22:55Speaker 2: So well, they added to boys that they felt were better.
- 22:58Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's that's what it was. I mean
- 23:00Speaker 2: that they feel like they feel like this guy was
- 23:07Speaker 2: ready to play. That's his name, Ready, Ready Stewart and
- 23:10Speaker 2: then uh, I think it's Chequeasy I don't know, good
- 23:13Speaker 2: luck with them, Chequeasy Bridges. Those two guys now, Ready
- 23:17Speaker 2: Stewart has been with the Bears and and I guess
- 23:20Speaker 2: ebra Flus knows him. But Stewart and Bridges, those are
- 23:24Speaker 2: the guys that they added to the roster and basically
- 23:27Speaker 2: replaced Childress in Booth. So that's they went with more
- 23:31Speaker 2: experience there. Then it wasn't going to take much to say,
- 23:35Speaker 2: all right, anybody out there that we feel better about
- 23:38Speaker 2: than these two guys, and so they found a couple.
- 23:43Speaker 13: I got to do it. It's going to be a shootout,
- 23:45Speaker 13: I think it is. This was our offense. That's the
- 23:47Speaker 13: only way we're going to be able to keep up.
- 23:48Speaker 13: So I'm excited. Corners got to be ready, Yeah, definitely.
- 23:53Speaker 13: All right, man, Well, I'll talk to y'all later.
- 23:55Speaker 2: All right, Thanks, Zach, appreciate it. Let's go to let's
- 23:57Speaker 2: go to our first break here on Cowboys storyline, and
- 23:59Speaker 2: we will be right back after this.

- 26:08Speaker 3: Listen here?
- 26:08Speaker 10: Nick I'm not gonna hold you along because I know
- 26:10Speaker 10: you're good. I'm doing Fineokay, you guys are busier than
- 26:14Speaker 10: I've ever seen. It's amazing. It's fantastic. Shout out to
- 26:18Speaker 10: all the guys who won the award, the Emmy, the
- 26:20Speaker 10: Double Emmy, which was amazing.
- 26:21Speaker 5: By the way.
- 26:21Speaker 10: I can't wait for you to be up again next year.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 26:24Speaker 10: And here is my questions. I want to pick your
- 26:26Speaker 10: brain about two uff USFL players. Number one, happy Perryan
- 26:30Speaker 10: Winfrey made the team. This team has showed you that
- 26:33Speaker 10: Jerry Jones and Will McClay no stone is left unturned.
- 26:36Speaker 10: So the USFL is actually becoming a pathway kind of
- 26:39Speaker 10: like the minor leagues to baseball to get to the NFL.
- 26:42Speaker 10: So for the guys who don't make it in this
- 26:43Speaker 10: training camp, keep your head hell high, go play for
- 26:46Speaker 10: that USFL and see if you can make it next year.
- 26:48Speaker 10: Which brings me to Cavante Turpin. Clearly, Cavante has grown
- 26:52Speaker 10: some reverence with the coaching staff and the fans, and
- 26:56Speaker 10: it seems like he's a big part of what's going
- 26:57Speaker 10: to be going on this year. But I have a question,
- 27:00Speaker 10: do you think he's going to be facing a suspension
- 27:03Speaker 10: from the arrest down in Allen, Texas earlier this year,
- 27:06Speaker 10: because you know, the commissioner loves the sneaks on us
- 27:08Speaker 10: right at the beginning of the season. That's all I
- 27:10Speaker 10: want to know. You have a great day, love the
- 27:12Speaker 10: popularity of the show. Talking next time, all.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Right, appreciate it, Thanks Sebastian. As for Turpin, I don't
- 27:18Speaker 2: think that's going to happen, you know, with again, every
- 27:23Speaker 2: every you know, the NFL can do what they want,
- 27:25Speaker 2: Goodell can do can do what he wants. But just
- 27:30Speaker 2: based off precedents, I don't I don't know. I don't
- 27:33Speaker 2: think Sam Sam Williams didn't didn't face that. Every every
- 27:37Speaker 2: situation is different. But I just don't feel like that
- 27:41Speaker 2: that Turpin is gonna I mean I've asked that question
- 27:43Speaker 2: a few I guess it has been a couple of months.
- 27:46Speaker 2: I mean I asked that question. I just I didn't
- 27:48Speaker 2: get the sense that that wasn't going to happen. And
- 27:51Speaker 2: that's usually something that they throw out there in training
- 27:54Speaker 2: camp or a little bit before that. So yeah, you
- 27:57Speaker 2: can go to camp and then you'll you'll you know,
- 27:59Speaker 2: you'll still have that hanging over your head, but usually
- 28:03Speaker 2: not not at this point in the season. I don't
- 28:05Speaker 2: think that that would would be the case. And you're right,
- 28:09Speaker 2: the I think it's the UFL now right, it's not
- 28:12Speaker 2: the USFL anymore, but the same same thing. You're right.
- 28:17Speaker 2: I mean, there there's been some some good players the
- 28:20Speaker 2: last few years and that that have come out of there.
- 28:22Speaker 2: And and the thing about it is is that you know,
- 28:25Speaker 2: they they you gotta be you gotta be careful with
- 28:28Speaker 2: them because they've been playing football all summer. But that's
- 28:30Speaker 2: part of the thing that helps them when they get here.
- 28:33Speaker 2: They have been playing football, so they're they're they're in
- 28:36Speaker 2: football shape for sure. And you know, a guy like
- 28:39Speaker 2: Perry and Winfrey took advantage, and obviously Turpin did as well,
- 28:42Speaker 2: and Brandon Aubrey too. So you know, some of the
- 28:45Speaker 2: cowboys best players, especially on special teams, have have come
- 28:49Speaker 2: from from the other leagues. All right, let's go to
- 28:52Speaker 2: Ali in Florida. It's been a little bit Ali.
- 28:54Speaker 17: Good morning.
- 28:56Speaker 8: How are you pretty good, buddy?
- 28:57Speaker 17: How about you good? Just got home a couple of
- 29:02Speaker 17: days and tried to catch up, but I'll make it
- 29:05Speaker 17: very quick. Thank you for my ad And I've been
- 29:09Speaker 17: traveling with it, and if you and family or Chris
- 29:14Speaker 17: some family want to come to Tampa or throw a
- 29:17Speaker 17: red carpet for you. And then also I think I
- 29:22Speaker 17: was told that maybe you're writing a book. I can
- 29:25Speaker 17: help you with the cover if you need it. And
- 29:28Speaker 17: as far as the game is concerned, I know, on
- 29:31Speaker 17: the paper ego looks great, but I have a gut
- 29:35Speaker 17: feeling Cowboys is gonna win the game. And the last
- 29:39Speaker 17: question I have for you is this, do you think
- 29:44Speaker 17: Michael Parson getting a second opinion on his back is
- 29:49Speaker 17: disguised for a team that might want to trade him
- 29:54Speaker 17: taking a physical And I hang over and listen.
- 29:58Speaker 2: All right, at this point I said this, It was
- 30:03Speaker 2: the title of our show. At this point, everything is
- 30:05Speaker 2: on the table. That so, I don't know that that
- 30:10Speaker 2: sounds like a good theory. I don't know that. I
- 30:12Speaker 2: don't know anything what's going on with that. I know,
- 30:15Speaker 2: you know. I think the thought about the second opinion
- 30:19Speaker 2: was maybe, you know, see if there is something wrong there,
- 30:23Speaker 2: maybe that's the reason that you don't play the game.
- 30:25Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think at this point, like
- 30:28Speaker 2: I said, all those theories could be true. All right,
- 30:32Speaker 2: let's go to Robbie Coco Beach, Florida.
- 30:35Speaker 12: Hey, Nick, it's hard to compete with Ali Man, he's
- 30:39Speaker 12: such a cool dude. Yeah, it's funny. So everybody kind
- 30:44Speaker 12: of asked my questions today, but I've got two that
- 30:46Speaker 12: I'll run up on the fly because I only heard
- 30:48Speaker 12: part of what you said on one that was calling in.
- 30:51Speaker 12: So who all there won Emmys? And two of you
- 30:54Speaker 12: got any stories about Bill Bates? And I really liked your,
- 30:57Speaker 12: uh your presentation of guiding versus I want to say
- 31:02Speaker 12: Robert Jones to Yeah, I liked.
- 31:06Speaker 3: What you said about that. It was gonna be my question.
- 31:08Speaker 11: So okay, if you don't mind talking.
- 31:09Speaker 12: About Bill Bates and all of you any good stories and.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Their Okay, thanks, thanks for the call. I mean, I
- 31:18Speaker 2: don't know if we have time for list all the Emmys.
- 31:20Speaker 2: I mean, they had twelve different categories and all kinds
- 31:25Speaker 2: of things, so we had we had twelve different categories.
- 31:27Speaker 2: It's probably about twenty people. You know, most of the
- 31:31Speaker 2: most of the people that you know, I mean a
- 31:33Speaker 2: lot of them are behind the scenes. I'm not going
- 31:34Speaker 2: to go through all of them, but a couple of
- 31:36Speaker 2: our documentaries made it this last year, and then it's
- 31:41Speaker 2: just just I'm not going to go through everyone because
- 31:44Speaker 2: then I did not forget some and I'm not gonna
- 31:46Speaker 2: do all that. But it was it was a good
- 31:50Speaker 2: a good haul of trophies once again, and just kind
- 31:54Speaker 2: of goes to show, you know, the work that a
- 31:56Speaker 2: lot of our guys do behind the scenes and then
- 31:58Speaker 2: some of it in front of the camera as well.
- 32:01Speaker 2: And then Bill Bates, Uh, you know, I'm I mean,
- 32:07Speaker 2: you know, when I was a kid, I mean, my like,
- 32:10Speaker 2: my dad loved Bill Bates. You know, he was he
- 32:12Speaker 2: was a fan favorite from the very beginning, you know,
- 32:14Speaker 2: and so you know, I had a shirt that I
- 32:17Speaker 2: wore I think when I was seven years old that
- 32:20Speaker 2: to a game and it was made. But it was like,
- 32:22Speaker 2: here comes the next Bill Bates. You know. I mean
- 32:24Speaker 2: that that's how much you know, I was a little
- 32:27Speaker 2: kid in Oklahoma, and that's how much that that that
- 32:30Speaker 2: he had an impact on people just because I think
- 32:32Speaker 2: that they loved his his grit and just his story
- 32:35Speaker 2: and overcoming adversity and overcoming the odds of a guy
- 32:39Speaker 2: that you know, wasn't very fast, he wasn't very big,
- 32:42Speaker 2: but he was tough as nails and and there was
- 32:44Speaker 2: a role for him, and then they made a role
- 32:46Speaker 2: for special teams on that. So yeah, I mean, Bill
- 32:49Speaker 2: just it's it's amazing. His story is is awesome, and
- 32:53Speaker 2: you know, just for us, just hope that you know,
- 32:55Speaker 2: he is doing well health wise. I know, you know,
- 32:58Speaker 2: it's been a little bit of a challenge for him,
- 33:00Speaker 2: but you know, just always been a fan favorite for sure.

- 34:27Speaker 2: more minutes here on the show. Let's go to Rick.
- 34:29Speaker 2: He's in Massachusetts. Rick, what is up?
- 34:32Speaker 5: Hey?
- 34:33Speaker 20: Nick Cale? You do him?
- 34:34Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you?
- 34:36Speaker 7: Okay?
- 34:37Speaker 20: But I say I had a couple of things. I
- 34:39Speaker 20: agree with what Rob said earl Rob Dylan said earlier
- 34:44Speaker 20: and everything I agree with all of that.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:45Speaker 20: Also that guy from Georgia, from New York, when he called,
- 34:50Speaker 20: we were talking about, Oh, we got a tough schedule.
- 34:52Speaker 20: We got to face all these people here while the
- 34:55Speaker 20: Eagles and the Commanders and the Giants have to face
- 34:58Speaker 20: the same teams and Eagles have to place the first
- 35:01Speaker 20: place teams. Well, we only have to place the third
- 35:03Speaker 20: place teams on those three extra games. So's you got
- 35:07Speaker 20: to look at both sides. They got a tough schedule,
- 35:09Speaker 20: We got a tough schedule, so to go either way.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that what makes it tough too.
- 35:16Speaker 2: It's just that, you know, the divisions that you match
- 35:22Speaker 2: up with are the divisions that had three teams and
- 35:26Speaker 2: make it to the playoffs, you know, So, I mean
- 35:29Speaker 2: you have to take on the AFC West, I believe
- 35:33Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Chargers, and the Broncos maybe made made
- 35:38Speaker 2: the playoffs. And then on the NFC North, the Lions,
- 35:41Speaker 2: the Vikings, the Packers, they all made it. And the
- 35:44Speaker 2: Bears are a team that's supposed to be better too.
- 35:46Speaker 2: So I mean that's one of those things. You're right
- 35:48Speaker 2: third place, first place, but still these teams were playoff teams,
- 35:52Speaker 2: and so I think that's what makes the schedule. It
- 35:54Speaker 2: doesn't seem to forget the Eagles. It's not a traditional
- 35:57Speaker 2: third place schedule because the Cowboys are facing third place
- 36:00Speaker 2: teams that made the playoffs.
- 36:04Speaker 20: Yeah, the other question I had was he heard on
- 36:08Speaker 20: Isaiah Land or zeon Trail? Just going back and practice.
- 36:12Speaker 2: One Isaiah Land. That's what I've I've heard. I've heard that.
- 36:17Speaker 2: I know Patrick Walker was working on that story last night.
- 36:21Speaker 2: I believe that is the plan, uh, that he would
- 36:23Speaker 2: he would be back here. You know, that seems so
- 36:28Speaker 2: long ago. It's only been a couple of years. I
- 36:29Speaker 2: know that he was a fan favorite for sure, but
- 36:32Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't know that, you know, kind of
- 36:35Speaker 2: where he had been. I think I know he went
- 36:36Speaker 2: to the Colt. I'm not really sure, but yeah, he
- 36:38Speaker 2: was a guy that that you know, made a little
- 36:41Speaker 2: waves of training camp. They just couldn't find a spot
- 36:43Speaker 2: for him. They thought it could get him on the
- 36:44Speaker 2: practice squad. It didn't work out. But anyways, Yeah, he
- 36:48Speaker 2: does seem like that that is the going to happen.
- 36:51Speaker 2: But this is one of those times where they're just
- 36:53Speaker 2: trying to figure out who all's here and they claim
- 36:56Speaker 2: some guys and they cut Childress and both and maybe
- 37:00Speaker 2: they're gonna put both of them on the practice card.
- 37:02Speaker 2: So there's a there's a few moving parts here, all right.
- 37:05Speaker 2: It's going to Cowboy Nico. He's in Colorado, Springs.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Hey, what's about Nick? How are you doing? Man? I
- 37:12Speaker 3: hear that it's a great show so far. I truly
- 37:14Speaker 3: enjoy it. You know it's hard to get in, but
- 37:17Speaker 3: I appreciate you taking my call and Chris doing all
- 37:19Speaker 3: the work back there real quick. I just wanted to
- 37:22Speaker 3: touch on something Nick. I Man, I'm nervous. I think,
- 37:27Speaker 3: honestly we're gonna go seven and ten this season. I
- 37:32Speaker 3: just don't believe in Schottenheimer. I told you that when
- 37:35Speaker 3: he got hired. I just don't believe in him. I
- 37:37Speaker 3: know we haven't seen anything, but I don't believe in
- 37:40Speaker 3: him until you do something I don't. I don't have
- 37:43Speaker 3: a choice not to believe in you. And the last
- 37:46Speaker 3: thing I got is that documentary is fantastic. I highly
- 37:50Speaker 3: recommend all Cowboy fans watching it. It brought me back,
- 37:54Speaker 3: you know, a couple of years, and I enjoyed that.
- 37:55Speaker 3: But I want that Jerry Jones back. I don't know
- 38:02Speaker 3: where he's been, I don't know what's happened, but I
- 38:05Speaker 3: want that Jerry Jones back, that fire that I will
- 38:10Speaker 3: buy a super Bowl if I have to, I will
- 38:14Speaker 3: throw the NFL system and go with PEPSI and Miller Lite.
- 38:19Speaker 3: I want that, Jerry Jones, not as an owner, I
- 38:22Speaker 3: want it as a GM Jerry, get us a super
- 38:25Speaker 3: Bowl because this year this ain't it. Nick, That's all
- 38:28Speaker 3: I got.
- 38:29Speaker 2: I'm out, all right, appreciate it. Uh, you know, I
- 38:35Speaker 2: don't know. That's just a matter of opinion when it
- 38:38Speaker 2: comes to, you know, just saying I don't trust this guy.
- 38:41Speaker 2: I don't believe in him. I don't know anything about him,
- 38:44Speaker 2: but I don't. I just don't believe in him. You
- 38:46Speaker 2: know that. Yeah, you don't have to. I mean, that's
- 38:49Speaker 2: totally fine as long as that's kind of consistent that
- 38:51Speaker 2: that's kind of the way it is. You don't believe
- 38:53Speaker 2: in the coach for the Bears, you know, you don't
- 38:56Speaker 2: believe in any of those first year coaches or anything
- 38:57Speaker 2: like that until they do something, which is fine, you know,
- 39:01Speaker 2: and that is totally within your right. I mean there's
- 39:05Speaker 2: probably people that didn't believe in Andy Reid, you know,
- 39:08Speaker 2: and then he's he's one of the best of all time.
- 39:10Speaker 2: I mean that Bill Belichick, you know, didn't didn't really
- 39:14Speaker 2: work out his first his first place, Pete Carroll, those guys,
- 39:17Speaker 2: I mean, Jimmy Johnson went one in fifteen. I mean,
- 39:20Speaker 2: there's a lot of guys, you know, you don't believe
- 39:22Speaker 2: in them, these people early on. So and I'm not
- 39:24Speaker 2: saying he's gonna be one of those. I'm just saying
- 39:26Speaker 2: I like what I've heard and seen from him so far.
- 39:30Speaker 2: But yeah, we all know this was gonna happen. He
- 39:33Speaker 2: could win the offseason because they don't keep score. But
- 39:39Speaker 2: if they don't, if he doesn't do push the right
- 39:42Speaker 2: buttons here this week against Philly or next few games
- 39:45Speaker 2: or whatever, then yeah he'll have He'll have the you know,
- 39:48Speaker 2: fans hot and upset and stuff like that. I mean,
- 39:52Speaker 2: everybody loved Jason Garrett. Everyone loved Garrett as a player
- 39:55Speaker 2: and then first year interim coach, he did pretty good job,
- 39:58Speaker 2: turned some things around. He had the right attitude, all
- 40:00Speaker 2: that stuff. But then he went eight and eight three
- 40:02Speaker 2: years in a row, and then everybody's kind of changed
- 40:04Speaker 2: their tune and they call them names, and he's got
- 40:07Speaker 2: you know, memes and stuff like that. So you have
- 40:10Speaker 2: to win. That's what it is. It doesn't matter. You
- 40:12Speaker 2: have to win. We all know that. All right, Let's
- 40:14Speaker 2: go to Brian and Fresno.
- 40:17Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, thanks for taking my call.
- 40:19Speaker 2: Man, oh problem, how are you doing?
- 40:21Speaker 8: I'm doing well, watching a long time, my first time
- 40:25Speaker 8: coming on the show, and that's kit you okay? Really
- 40:31Speaker 8: just that remained positive going into the season. Longtime Cowboy
- 40:35Speaker 8: fan forty three years here, I'm not giving up on
- 40:37Speaker 8: the team, but I will say I'm half to my
- 40:40Speaker 8: doubts about this Cowboys team. Yeah, you know the main
- 40:45Speaker 8: I think, you know, we haven't done enough to address
- 40:49Speaker 8: the run games. Still a lot of questions there on
- 40:52Speaker 8: the back end. Safety spot in particular, got from my
- 40:56Speaker 8: play going into this year's play, I just don't trust
- 40:58Speaker 8: those safeties. Quarterback you know, be a toss up. I
- 41:01Speaker 8: think we have the work. Really, my question to you,
- 41:05Speaker 8: Nick is what's your confidence level? And Dak going into
- 41:08Speaker 8: the season, just from the last interview I watched him,
- 41:12Speaker 8: he looks scared to me, he doesn't sound very confident,
- 41:16Speaker 8: and I know he's probably worried about the running game,
- 41:20Speaker 8: so most Cowboy fans are. I'm hoping that that area
- 41:23Speaker 8: will improve this year from last year. Maybe we have
- 41:26Speaker 8: somebody there blue or somebody that can show up and
- 41:30Speaker 8: make this thing work. But my question to you is
- 41:33Speaker 8: is what confidence do you think you have in Dak
- 41:36Speaker 8: this year moving forward, you do you see him returning
- 41:39Speaker 8: to for him and playing well, I know a lot
- 41:42Speaker 8: of things right on that, especially with this offensive line.
- 41:45Speaker 8: But what's your gut telling you this year with Dak?
- 41:48Speaker 2: All right? Well, I think I don't know what interview
- 41:53Speaker 2: you saw or you know, I guess it was the
- 41:55Speaker 2: last one he did, and I don't know which part
- 41:57Speaker 2: of it got you to say that, or you know,
- 41:59Speaker 2: he might be a lot of things. I don't think
- 42:01Speaker 2: he's scared. I don't think scared is going to be
- 42:03Speaker 2: one of them. I don't believe that. I just that's
- 42:08Speaker 2: something that I've always thought when you when you've dealt
- 42:10Speaker 2: with things in your personal life much bigger than than football,
- 42:17Speaker 2: that that isn't the actual mindset that that you have.
- 42:22Speaker 2: So maybe he's not as confident about some areas or whatever.
- 42:28Speaker 2: I don't know if scared the right word, but you know,
- 42:30Speaker 2: maybe just unsure, if that's what you're what you're saying.
- 42:33Speaker 2: I think he's going to be confident. I think he
- 42:36Speaker 2: thinks that they they've got some weapons here that they
- 42:39Speaker 2: haven't had before. So I think I think he's actually
- 42:41Speaker 2: probably got more confidence about this offense than we've seen
- 42:45Speaker 2: and I think, you know, as long as he can
- 42:47Speaker 2: find a way to play football, you know, play football,
- 42:50Speaker 2: Run when you have to run, slide when you have
- 42:52Speaker 2: to slide, get rid of the ball. But you know
- 42:55Speaker 2: you can't. You can't do this, you know, read options
- 43:00Speaker 2: and not ever keep the ball. You have to you
- 43:03Speaker 2: have to do that or that. That stuff's not going
- 43:04Speaker 2: to work. So I think if you can get into
- 43:06Speaker 2: the flow, don't think about injury, don't worry about that,
- 43:08Speaker 2: just go play football. I think that's when he's at
- 43:10Speaker 2: his best, and I think this team can can have
- 43:12Speaker 2: some success. All right, let's go to our last caller today,
- 43:14Speaker 2: Irene in Falls Church, Virginia. Irene, what's up, hey.
- 43:18Speaker 21: There, I'll make it quick. So I just wanted to
- 43:20Speaker 21: say I liked the way they constructed the roster this year.
- 43:23Speaker 21: I know people were freaking out about wide receiver six.
- 43:27Speaker 21: But if you have three guys who you think can
- 43:29Speaker 21: make it there, get rid of them and see who
- 43:31Speaker 21: comes back, it's all good. I like them going short
- 43:34Speaker 21: on tight end. You know, whatever that shoulder injury is
- 43:38Speaker 21: with our running back, maybe it's like somebody else's back.
- 43:41Speaker 21: I don't know, but I love how they did it,
- 43:43Speaker 21: and I love, love, love that they rewarded Houston and
- 43:46Speaker 21: win Free to get on the team.
- 43:48Speaker 13: They deserved it.
- 43:49Speaker 21: They worked their way on.
- 43:51Speaker 18: You know.
- 43:51Speaker 21: That's about it for me. I just like the way
- 43:53Speaker 21: they did it. We didn't get pressed about wide receiver
- 43:56Speaker 21: six and whatever, tight end seven.
- 44:00Speaker 2: Yeah the show, thanks, Irene, appreciate it. Yeah, I thought, yeah,
- 44:06Speaker 2: they they did rewards some players, but they also you know,
- 44:09Speaker 2: think that they can help them and I think winfreaking
- 44:12Speaker 2: can help them. I think Houston can help him out.
- 44:14Speaker 2: I think he's a guy that could be active because
- 44:15Speaker 2: of what he can do on special teams. So all right,
- 44:18Speaker 2: great show, guys, at thirteen calls. That's the best we've
- 44:21Speaker 2: had in a while, really really good stuff. You guys
- 44:23Speaker 2: were awesome in and out. I got to hear from
- 44:26Speaker 2: some people we haven't heard from in a while, so
- 44:28Speaker 2: that's always a good thing. So I know it's tough
- 44:30Speaker 2: to get in you guys. I really appreciate the dedication.
- 44:33Speaker 2: And this is a shout out to all the ones
- 44:34Speaker 2: that called, called and called and didn't get in. Hopefully
- 44:37Speaker 2: you can get in later on. Remember we go every
- 44:39Speaker 2: single day. Next week's going to be a different schedule
- 44:43Speaker 2: obviously with the game, but for the most part, we're
- 44:45Speaker 2: going to go every single day at ten o'clock. Will
- 44:47Speaker 2: do it again tomorrow. So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Keatman.
