- 0:04Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:04Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:06Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:13Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline, presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:19Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman. Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman,
- 0:30Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are two to two and one after
- 0:33Speaker 1: a big win over the New York Jets. We'll talk
- 0:35Speaker 1: about that, We'll keep talking about the upcoming game against
- 0:39Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, and maybe if you want to look
- 0:41Speaker 1: a little bit forward to see just who the Cowboys
- 0:44Speaker 1: have in the upcoming games to see about, maybe it's
- 0:47Speaker 1: time to make a run. I know the Jerry Jones
- 0:49Speaker 1: said on his radio show this week that the thumb
- 0:53Speaker 1: has pointed up. This looks like things are looking good
- 0:56Speaker 1: for this team, especially with all the injuries they had.
- 0:58Speaker 1: For them to have a big win like they did
- 1:00Speaker 1: against the Jets was very impressive. And let's talk about it.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Let's get straight to the phone calls. Got a lot
- 1:07Speaker 1: of people that want to have a lot of things
- 1:10Speaker 1: to say about this one. So let's start. Irene Falls Church, Virginia,
- 1:13Speaker 1: Irene what's up.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Well morning, what a game. Congrats to all the young
- 1:17Speaker 4: guys who stepped up. Dress a shoddy for handling injuries
- 1:21Speaker 4: masterfully love it. I think James Houston made the biggest
- 1:23Speaker 4: impact turning the defense around. He's ninety seventh in pass
- 1:28Speaker 4: for rush snaps and fifth in sacks free.
- 1:30Speaker 5: My guy, that's it.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Have a good day, all right. You know the pass
- 1:36Speaker 1: rush looks a lot better. I mean it did, and
- 1:39Speaker 1: and you know, maybe that's gonna happen when you're facing
- 1:42Speaker 1: a team like like the Just but you know, they
- 1:44Speaker 1: they came into this game, their offensive line was was
- 1:47Speaker 1: pretty good. They held up in some of their other games,
- 1:50Speaker 1: and so you know, Fields wasn't getting sacked a lot,
- 1:53Speaker 1: but he got pressured all day long. You know, James
- 1:56Speaker 1: Houston continues to just play out of his mind and
- 2:01Speaker 1: you know he's he's been probably one of the biggest surprises,
- 2:05Speaker 1: uh for this for this team as a ROKU. I thought,
- 2:08Speaker 1: you know, keeps getting a little bit better. You're starting
- 2:10Speaker 1: to see the light come on a little bit more
- 2:12Speaker 1: with him. Dante Fowler had had a nice game, very active,
- 2:16Speaker 1: so uh, you know, I'm not going to say that
- 2:19Speaker 1: they don't miss the other guy in Green Bay. And
- 2:21Speaker 1: they certainly do. But but so far, the last two
- 2:25Speaker 1: weeks it's looked look better. I'll see if they can
- 2:27Speaker 1: continue to do that against the Panthers. All right, let's
- 2:30Speaker 1: go to Davion. He's in Caseyville, Illinois.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Davion, what's going on, big dog? What's going on?
- 2:36Speaker 6: Is?
- 2:37Speaker 3: I know, we gotta be quick today. So I hope
- 2:39Speaker 3: everybody's doing okay.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Yep, doing good?
- 2:42Speaker 3: All right? Well, well man, Shoty had me a hello.
- 2:45Speaker 3: I'ma be honest. I was the first press covers. I
- 2:48Speaker 3: was like, we might got us something here. We we
- 2:51Speaker 3: might be able to do something. And every week is
- 2:53Speaker 3: growing and growing. Team it up close to first on
- 2:55Speaker 3: this summer and ox and over, so I think we
- 2:59Speaker 3: got As a coach, Nick, I really think we might
- 3:01Speaker 3: have a chance really so special this year next year.
- 3:05Speaker 3: But it looked like it's going well on our way.
- 3:08Speaker 3: So I'm really excited to see where it goes.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's certainly looking pretty good, you know.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And and and I love that you dropped the Jerry
- 3:16Speaker 1: Maguire reference there right off the bat. He had you
- 3:20Speaker 1: guys gonna catch that one. Yeah, of course, of course,
- 3:23Speaker 1: all right.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Anything else now, you gotta be quick. I'll call it
- 3:27Speaker 3: back later.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I appreciate that you guys following the rules. Chris has
- 3:31Speaker 1: got you guys, uh in shape. I love it. Let's
- 3:34Speaker 1: go to Zach in Atlanta.
- 3:35Speaker 7: Zach Nick and Frisco. What's going on? Man?
- 3:39Speaker 8: Right? Man?
- 3:39Speaker 1: I'm doing good?
- 3:41Speaker 7: Good to hear Man, to echo, Daveon and many other callers. Uh,
- 3:46Speaker 7: I think we got something in shoddy still early in
- 3:49Speaker 7: the season, still young into his head coaching career. But
- 3:52Speaker 7: I didn't like the process in the spring. But coming
- 3:55Speaker 7: out of the draft, we we drafted a lot of
- 3:59Speaker 7: high quality character guys. I think that was a shoddy fingerprint,
- 4:03Speaker 7: like the accountability in camp and so the adjustments to
- 4:08Speaker 7: get the line right and just scheme up for a
- 4:12Speaker 7: for a decimated you know, roster. I think he did
- 4:15Speaker 7: a great job. So excited for the next couple of
- 4:18Speaker 7: games and see how they build. But speaking of the
- 4:20Speaker 7: roster and guys missing, how do you think Ceedee Lamb
- 4:25Speaker 7: fits back into the offense? Obviously game breakers number one
- 4:29Speaker 7: wide receiver, but the offense feels like it it's focused
- 4:33Speaker 7: right now, and so do you anticipate any hic ups
- 4:37Speaker 7: with him? Coming back. I know it's a weird question,
- 4:40Speaker 7: but with that, I'll hang up.
- 4:41Speaker 1: All right, No, Zach, I know kind of what you're
- 4:45Speaker 1: thinking there as far as it's looked really good there.
- 4:48Speaker 1: But and then so where does he fit back in?
- 4:50Speaker 1: But I'll tell you at the top, Like right at
- 4:55Speaker 1: the top, that's where he fit. He just slides right
- 4:57Speaker 1: back up there and everyone else figures it out. This
- 4:59Speaker 1: guy is the difference maker for me and for this offense.
- 5:05Speaker 1: And so you know, I think it's a great problem
- 5:09Speaker 1: to have. What it's done is it's shown that some
- 5:13Speaker 1: of these other guys can make plays, and so that
- 5:17Speaker 1: just gives you more weapons to have in your arsenal.
- 5:19Speaker 1: And I think we know what Turpin can do with
- 5:22Speaker 1: his speed. He's going to be a problem, and put
- 5:24Speaker 1: in the right situations. Pickens is a huge problem as well.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I mean, Pickens is beating not just the best guy
- 5:31Speaker 1: that the Jets have, but one of the top three
- 5:33Speaker 1: or four corners in the league just beats him deep,
- 5:35Speaker 1: just gets past him, just you know, just hand fighting
- 5:39Speaker 1: the entire way, makes the play for the touchdown. You know,
- 5:43Speaker 1: he can beat one of the best in the game,
- 5:45Speaker 1: CD can beat one whoever else is in front of them.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Flinoy now coming on. So you know, ceed goes right
- 5:52Speaker 1: to the top and the focus is to get him
- 5:54Speaker 1: the football, then everyone else should be able to make plays.
- 5:58Speaker 1: So great problem to have if it is one about Shoddy,
- 6:03Speaker 1: it's two in a row about Shoddy and and how yeah,
- 6:08Speaker 1: maybe they have something here. You know, accountability is a
- 6:11Speaker 1: word that I've heard several times about him as well.
- 6:13Speaker 1: And if you listen to the press conference right after
- 6:15Speaker 1: the game, Dak said something very interesting on the headset.
- 6:19Speaker 1: He said Shody was kind of blaming himself on some
- 6:21Speaker 1: of the throws. He said, here, you know, this is
- 6:23Speaker 1: on me, Dak, let me try, let me try to
- 6:25Speaker 1: get something going for you. Here, I'm not I'm not
- 6:28Speaker 1: calling a good game for you. And whether or not,
- 6:32Speaker 1: Dak fully believes that, because you know, he puts pressure
- 6:36Speaker 1: on himself too to make plays, but he even said that.
- 6:38Speaker 1: You know, it's refreshing to kind of hear a coach say,
- 6:41Speaker 1: you know, put some o the onus on him. Uh,
- 6:44Speaker 1: not all on him, but but you know it's it's
- 6:46Speaker 1: back and forth. But maybe that's not something that he's
- 6:49Speaker 1: used to. So you could tell Dak appreciated that in
- 6:52Speaker 1: the middle of the game. All right, casey Joe, he's
- 6:55Speaker 1: in Kansas City. What's up?
- 6:57Speaker 9: Hey, how you doing?
- 6:57Speaker 2: Nick?
- 6:58Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you good?
- 7:00Speaker 10: I'm better.
- 7:00Speaker 9: I've been heard at work, so I'm just getting back
- 7:02Speaker 9: to the swing. That's what I've been called in lately.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Oh, well, I hope you're feeling better. Oh I am sound?
- 7:08Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 7:09Speaker 1: Hey an th huh. I got to turn you down.
- 7:12Speaker 1: You're you're ready, You're you're lively. Let's go.
- 7:15Speaker 9: I like, sorry, buddy, you're good.
- 7:17Speaker 8: Do you think?
- 7:17Speaker 12: Man?
- 7:18Speaker 9: I'm telling you, I was really impressed with that Thomas,
- 7:21Speaker 9: the number two, the one on his jersey.
- 7:23Speaker 6: One.
- 7:24Speaker 9: You picked that quarterback up and lady him on the ground.
- 7:26Speaker 9: He said, you're not getting in the end zone today, buddy,
- 7:28Speaker 9: not today. I'm not on my watch, I mean. And
- 7:31Speaker 9: he's fast. He seems to get everywhere quick. I don't
- 7:33Speaker 9: know how fast that man runs, but he is on
- 7:36Speaker 9: the ball.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he is. He's a he's a good uh.
- 7:40Speaker 1: He's a good player, and he's active, and he reminds
- 7:43Speaker 1: me a lot of Donovan Wilson. Honestly, early in his career,
- 7:46Speaker 1: Donovan was a guy that you know, a little bit
- 7:48Speaker 1: penalty prone at times just because they're so aggressive. One
- 7:51Speaker 1: you had some of that, especially some of the preseason.
- 7:54Speaker 1: But he only he only knows one way.
- 7:56Speaker 6: Uh.
- 7:57Speaker 1: You know, his brother played in the in the game
- 7:59Speaker 1: the other side with the Jets. Great story there, We
- 8:01Speaker 1: have something up on the website. Patrick Walker wrote a
- 8:03Speaker 1: story on the website this week about that about that,
- 8:07Speaker 1: you know, just just one yeah, and his relationship with
- 8:09Speaker 1: his brother and both of them playing in the league
- 8:12Speaker 1: and the journey that they had. And you know that
- 8:15Speaker 1: that that play you're talking about is very physical and
- 8:18Speaker 1: that was a key play in the game. I'm telling
- 8:20Speaker 1: you that was really key. That the Jets decided not
- 8:23Speaker 1: to keep the ball there at the one yard line.
- 8:27Speaker 1: You know what surprised me about that is the Cowboys
- 8:30Speaker 1: had a penalty of one of the extra points that
- 8:34Speaker 1: the Jets were off sides after one of the extra points,
- 8:37Speaker 1: so they decided to go for two because the ball
- 8:41Speaker 1: went from the two to the one. That's how they
- 8:44Speaker 1: view the one yard line. Now they got a fall
- 8:46Speaker 1: start penalty and that pushed them back to the six
- 8:48Speaker 1: and and then they ended up i guess not even
- 8:52Speaker 1: making the field goal there. But the point was is
- 8:55Speaker 1: that when the balls at the one go, you go
- 8:58Speaker 1: punch it in and score. And so that's surprising that
- 9:01Speaker 1: the Jets didn't take that opportunity and it cost him
- 9:04Speaker 1: some points there. All right, let's keep it rolling. Lester's
- 9:07Speaker 1: in Illinois. Lester, what's up, hey, Nick?
- 9:11Speaker 12: How you doing today? Man?
- 9:12Speaker 1: I'm good?
- 9:13Speaker 11: How are you quick?
- 9:14Speaker 13: Good?
- 9:14Speaker 1: Good?
- 9:15Speaker 12: I'm doing good. I just got a couple couple of comments,
- 9:19Speaker 12: a couple of questions. Uh, the injury and running back Sanders.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Uh.
- 9:25Speaker 12: The reason I'm asking about him because I just wanted
- 9:27Speaker 12: to Blue Gun to play a little bit more. And
- 9:30Speaker 12: what do you think of the defensive lion rotation now
- 9:33Speaker 12: that Houston is really doing well and and we got
- 9:37Speaker 12: some people coming back from injury. So that's all I have.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Go Cowboys, all right? You know, the the question about
- 9:45Speaker 1: Miles Sanders and Jayden Blue that that is going to
- 9:47Speaker 1: be interesting. I think Sanders probably could come back and
- 9:50Speaker 1: play this week. They wanted to see Blue there. Blue
- 9:55Speaker 1: his his status might be affected with Turpin because we
- 9:59Speaker 1: saw kick return it was pretty nice, so we might
- 10:03Speaker 1: that might be that might be factored in with with
- 10:06Speaker 1: what Cavante's status looks like Jerry Jones did say this
- 10:09Speaker 1: week there's a chance fingers crossed there that Turpin could
- 10:13Speaker 1: come back. But you know, I just think he just
- 10:16Speaker 1: needs to keep playing.
- 10:17Speaker 7: Uh.
- 10:18Speaker 1: You know, he's got the speed, the quickness. You know,
- 10:20Speaker 1: once he starts, stops thinking so much, he should be fine.
- 10:23Speaker 1: As for your d line rotation, yeah, Houston's Houston's got
- 10:27Speaker 1: to be right there at the top. He's been outstanding.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Keep getting him rushes and I think the other guys
- 10:33Speaker 1: are probably gonna be just fine. Marshawn neland comes back,
- 10:37Speaker 1: Clowney will continue to emerge, and I think it'll be
- 10:40Speaker 1: one of those where each week it might be somebody
- 10:42Speaker 1: kind of different there in that rotation. Let's take a
- 10:44Speaker 1: break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back after.

- 12:29Speaker 1: All right back here on Cowboys Storyline, Let's go straight
- 12:32Speaker 1: to the phone. Line's got a lot of callers today.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Michael Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael, what you got.
- 12:38Speaker 10: Hey, man, I'm just sitting here in the central time
- 12:41Speaker 10: zone of Bawling Green. Okay, but uh I was a
- 12:45Speaker 10: Silliams and Fornoy had one hundred yard Russian and one
- 12:49Speaker 10: hundred yard receiving.
- 12:51Speaker 17: First Cowboy teammates that ever do that in one half.
- 12:55Speaker 17: That's crazy.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Yeah, that is crazy. That is crazy.
- 13:01Speaker 17: And this is my question. You can't you can't go
- 13:04Speaker 17: crazy over one game. But it seems to me other
- 13:08Speaker 17: teams have been successful when their stars have been out
- 13:13Speaker 17: and their backups stepped up and they still want Do
- 13:18Speaker 17: you think if that continues? I mean, could we be
- 13:23Speaker 17: looking at actually a better season than we thought. You said,
- 13:27Speaker 17: you've never seen a tie or an NFC championship game.
- 13:31Speaker 17: Maybe this is the year we get both.
- 13:34Speaker 1: That would be great. All right, Michael, thank you? I
- 13:37Speaker 1: think thanks for the call, And you're right about you know,
- 13:40Speaker 1: you've got to have some consistency. So when you keep,
- 13:44Speaker 1: you know, changing out the pieces, I think what you
- 13:46Speaker 1: do is you look at what what isn't changed, what
- 13:49Speaker 1: hasn't changed, what is still here from that one to
- 13:53Speaker 1: this week. And your quarterbacks playing out of his mind?
- 13:57Speaker 1: He really is, I mean, and he's playing like a
- 14:00Speaker 1: football player. He's not playing just like a quarterback. And
- 14:04Speaker 1: now you know you've heard me say it over and
- 14:06Speaker 1: over when Dak plays like a football player that plays quarterback,
- 14:10Speaker 1: and I mean, when it's time to run, he runs,
- 14:12Speaker 1: he's diving, he's sliding, he's got that clock in his head.
- 14:16Speaker 1: He knows when to take off, when to throw it away,
- 14:19Speaker 1: when to lift for another plays. He's just making those
- 14:22Speaker 1: right calls. He looks like a guy that's in his
- 14:26Speaker 1: tenth year of his of his career mentally, but he's
- 14:31Speaker 1: playing like he was playing when he was a rookie
- 14:33Speaker 1: in his in his first or second and third year.
- 14:35Speaker 1: So I'm not saying he's turner back the clock, but
- 14:38Speaker 1: it's it's kind of looking that way. And that is
- 14:41Speaker 1: when you so when you bring in another receiver here
- 14:44Speaker 1: in another offensive lineman here, and other backs and stuff.
- 14:47Speaker 1: The constant. The one thing that's staying the same is Dak,
- 14:52Speaker 1: and Dak's playing great just about every single week, so
- 14:55Speaker 1: you got to give him credit for that. Let's go
- 14:56Speaker 1: to Shelby. He's in Virginia, Shelby. What's up?
- 15:00Speaker 18: Hey, good morning, Nick?
- 15:01Speaker 1: How you doing good? How are you?
- 15:03Speaker 9: I'm doing great.
- 15:04Speaker 18: I'll try to keep it to rapid fire tuesday pace.
- 15:07Speaker 18: I let's say two years ago when we did the
- 15:10Speaker 18: Washington game, you signed my copy of If These Walls
- 15:13Speaker 18: Could Talk. I don't think I can called back. Since
- 15:16Speaker 18: finished it, absolutely loved it. As somebody who grew up
- 15:19Speaker 18: in I was too young in the two thousands for
- 15:21Speaker 18: really anything that happened in that book to remember, and
- 15:24Speaker 18: I felt like I got to sort of live those seasons,
- 15:27Speaker 18: which is incredibly fun. So I passed it off to
- 15:31Speaker 18: my dad. Truly, just great work. I'm not sure where
- 15:35Speaker 18: he is or if he has started, But I am
- 15:37Speaker 18: looking for my next Nick Emon book, so you name it.
- 15:41Speaker 18: I order it tonight. But what book should I read?
- 15:47Speaker 1: I mean, I got I've got a couple of others,
- 15:49Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I had another book, but it's
- 15:51Speaker 1: called Friday, Saturday, Sunday in Texas. The problem is is
- 15:55Speaker 1: the season that a chronicles is the twenty fifteen Cowboys
- 15:58Speaker 1: season that went four and twelve. So that's not exactly fun.
- 16:02Speaker 1: You know, I didn't pick the best season there, but hey,
- 16:06Speaker 1: it is what it is, and that's it's partially NFL
- 16:10Speaker 1: and a high school team and a college team. But
- 16:12Speaker 1: you got anything else?
- 16:15Speaker 18: Well, no, I was gonna say, if you do have
- 16:16Speaker 18: this specific book, we may be trying to make it
- 16:19Speaker 18: down to Carolina for this game. And so if I
- 16:22Speaker 18: am able to build my collection of signed Nick Even books,
- 16:24Speaker 18: that would.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Just be awesome.
- 16:25Speaker 18: No pressure, Cowboys thirty two Panther seventeen.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Okay, appreciate that thirty two seventeen is our first score
- 16:32Speaker 1: of the week. You know, I don't know what to
- 16:36Speaker 1: think about about this game coming up. I mean I
- 16:38Speaker 1: know that, you know, Carolina, they're interesting, They're they're better
- 16:42Speaker 1: than than what they were. I mean when the Cowboys.
- 16:44Speaker 1: This is the third year in a row that we've
- 16:48Speaker 1: gone there, and so we'll see. I think that they're
- 16:51Speaker 1: probably going to be the most competitive that they've been
- 16:54Speaker 1: and we'll see what the injuries look like. But thanks
- 16:56Speaker 1: for the shout out with the books. If these Walls
- 17:00Speaker 1: to Talk is certainly the one that that it gives,
- 17:02Speaker 1: you know, the most Cowboy fans would like. We did
- 17:04Speaker 1: a sixtieth anniversary book as well. It's more of a
- 17:07Speaker 1: coffee table book. Did that with Jeff Sullivan and then
- 17:10Speaker 1: of course fifties or Friday, Saturday Sunday in Texas. It's
- 17:13Speaker 1: also about other teams, but the Cowboys are part of
- 17:16Speaker 1: that as well. All right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma is next.
- 17:20Speaker 19: Hey, what's going on?
- 17:21Speaker 1: Are you no no people?
- 17:23Speaker 20: And I'm not bad man, I'm gonna keep it quick.
- 17:25Speaker 20: In short, I was calling because I enjoyed the game
- 17:28Speaker 20: the other day. My only criticism is, and I hate
- 17:31Speaker 20: to say it, because it was really played, a really
- 17:32Speaker 20: good hardball game. Only criticism is I feel like we
- 17:36Speaker 20: gave up the run, run defense and added the sact
- 17:41Speaker 20: like we can't marry the two together.
- 17:43Speaker 12: Can we?
- 17:43Speaker 20: Can we stop the run.
- 17:44Speaker 21: And get the sacks at the same time.
- 17:46Speaker 20: I just want them to do I'm not I don't
- 17:48Speaker 20: want to. I'm not saying that I wanted to be perfect.
- 17:50Speaker 20: I know there's gonna be some hiccups stir here and
- 17:52Speaker 20: there but like Breeth Hall was doing a lot of damage.
- 17:56Speaker 19: So I just I just stop.
- 17:57Speaker 20: Them from getting eight yards a pop, maybe five. It
- 18:01Speaker 20: would have been a fantastic game. But since I'm gonna
- 18:04Speaker 20: be on shore, I'm gonna leave it at that and
- 18:06Speaker 20: I'll call back when i can.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, I mean thanks for the call.
- 18:09Speaker 1: And and you know, wins still have have some some
- 18:12Speaker 1: things that the Cowboys can work on, and that's that's
- 18:15Speaker 1: what makes it exciting. And you're you're not wrong. I mean,
- 18:19Speaker 1: they they ran the ball pretty well. Breese Hall did
- 18:23Speaker 1: have There's a couple that I remember, they just went
- 18:25Speaker 1: right up the middle. And now he didn't always give
- 18:28Speaker 1: the ball back to the ref uh, And I thought
- 18:30Speaker 1: that that fumble was you know, turning point in the
- 18:33Speaker 1: entire game. But but you're right, A gashed him a
- 18:35Speaker 1: few times there. And so that's one of those things
- 18:38Speaker 1: where you do get heavy pressure, sometimes you do give
- 18:42Speaker 1: up the running plays and and we've seen that happened
- 18:45Speaker 1: when when Mike was here as well. You know, I
- 18:47Speaker 1: mean the focus is up the field, up the field
- 18:50Speaker 1: for sacks and you've got to be careful with that.
- 18:52Speaker 1: But you know, they it was kind of been but
- 18:56Speaker 1: don't break especially down inside the five. I think Solomon
- 18:59Speaker 1: Thomas had a huge play there on that third down tackle.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Maybe it was a second down tackle from the three
- 19:06Speaker 1: yard line of really push him back and that kind
- 19:08Speaker 1: of changed the momentum. So they they tightened up when
- 19:12Speaker 1: they needed to, when it was you know, when they
- 19:13Speaker 1: were there to run the ball and stop the run.
- 19:16Speaker 1: But yeah, there's certain certainly could be a little bit better.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Let's go to Troy and Philly for our next call.
- 19:24Speaker 11: Hey Nicholas, Hey, how are you?
- 19:27Speaker 19: I'm good man. First of all, let me just tell
- 19:28Speaker 19: you now, you are totally living my dream man, A
- 19:30Speaker 19: child is staying of the team and you get to
- 19:33Speaker 19: work in the building like you are my hero.
- 19:35Speaker 1: For that, well, thank you, I appreciate it. I tried
- 19:37Speaker 1: not to lose sight of that. It is awesome. It
- 19:39Speaker 1: is awesome. Thanks a lot.
- 19:42Speaker 19: A quick question back. I heard the yesterday. I thought
- 19:45Speaker 19: it was kind of interesting. I heard Dak and Shoddy
- 19:50Speaker 19: compared to Breeze and Peyton. I think they think they
- 19:54Speaker 19: maybe a few years away from that. I just thought
- 19:56Speaker 19: it was an interesting, uh comparison. I just wonder what
- 19:59Speaker 19: you think of that.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Thanks man, Okay, thank you. I guess, I guess that's
- 20:03Speaker 1: an age thing of where where they are in their
- 20:07Speaker 1: in their age. Uh yeah, Sean, Sean Payton and and Breeze.
- 20:12Speaker 1: I haven't really heard that, but you know that a
- 20:16Speaker 1: young coach getting his opportunity and he can lean on
- 20:20Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback that's been around and he kind of
- 20:23Speaker 1: needs a little bit of a jolt as well. Again,
- 20:25Speaker 1: I don't know the comparison. That's that's how I'm comparing it.
- 20:30Speaker 1: That maybe Sean Payton, the best thing for Sean Payton
- 20:33Speaker 1: was Drew Brees, and the best thing for Drew Brees
- 20:36Speaker 1: was was Sean Payton. And then maybe that's kind of
- 20:38Speaker 1: what what what's happening here with the Cowboys as well,
- 20:42Speaker 1: because you know Schottenheimer, he does know Dak and he's
- 20:44Speaker 1: kind of getting to to, you know, have the benefit
- 20:47Speaker 1: of a veteran quarterback there, and the veteran quarterback gets,
- 20:50Speaker 1: you know, a new voice in his head that can
- 20:52Speaker 1: kind of change things up from a different perspective. Either way,
- 20:56Speaker 1: if they can have the success that those guys had,
- 20:58Speaker 1: then it's gonna be a great season or next couple
- 21:01Speaker 1: seasons here with the Cowboys. Let's go to break here
- 21:03Speaker 1: on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back after this.

- 22:29Speaker 1: the TV show, so that's why we're going really really quick.
- 22:32Speaker 1: We can slow down just a little bit. But I
- 22:35Speaker 1: still love the pace. I love the fact we get
- 22:37Speaker 1: a lot of callers in here like it a lot.
- 22:39Speaker 1: So let's go keep it going. Kansas City, Brian, and
- 22:41Speaker 1: Kansas City's next.
- 22:44Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick, How are you so great? How are
- 22:46Speaker 8: you excellent?
- 22:47Speaker 3: Man?
- 22:48Speaker 8: Hey, I want to eat some crow and toot my
- 22:50Speaker 8: own horn on the same call here. Okay, soys listening
- 22:54Speaker 8: to Broadest is one of the eighteen shows brought us
- 22:57Speaker 8: is on and he says, you know, hey, we're when
- 23:00Speaker 8: we're wrong, we can't admit you're wrong, you know. And
- 23:03Speaker 8: during the offseason I was pretty down on the Javonte
- 23:10Speaker 8: Williams signings. I thought the Cowboys just went and did
- 23:14Speaker 8: the same old thing again, got somebody that's over the
- 23:16Speaker 8: you know, the career is behind him, and you know,
- 23:20Speaker 8: and just didn't have any faith that that was going
- 23:23Speaker 8: to work out well, that guy's top five in almost
- 23:26Speaker 8: every category now, so I got to say, you know
- 23:30Speaker 8: what boy did, Will did. Will McClay get that one
- 23:33Speaker 8: and his group get that right, and Brian Eaton did not.
- 23:38Speaker 8: I got that one wrong. So I will say this though,
- 23:42Speaker 8: before the Eagles game, when I made my prediction for
- 23:45Speaker 8: the Eagles game, I said, hey, we're going to lose.
- 23:48Speaker 8: We just changed offensive and defensive schemes and we didn't
- 23:52Speaker 8: play in the preseason. We for the first month of
- 23:55Speaker 8: the season. We're going to be learning on the job
- 23:59Speaker 8: while the game count. And I said in October, things
- 24:03Speaker 8: are gonna look different. And I kind of do believe
- 24:08Speaker 8: that that's what's been happening. Everybody's kind of figuring their
- 24:12Speaker 8: rules out and getting it. So let's you come in
- 24:15Speaker 8: on that. Good to talk to you, next speculator.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Okay, I mean it's it's one of those things where
- 24:21Speaker 1: everyone loves to be right all the time, and everyone
- 24:24Speaker 1: loves to like it seems like like when when something
- 24:28Speaker 1: happens where a guy makes, a player doesn't make, a
- 24:30Speaker 1: player has a penalty, we do it a lot where
- 24:33Speaker 1: like that's just who he is, Like we just make
- 24:35Speaker 1: the big grand picture of everything and be like they're
- 24:39Speaker 1: not very good or he's not very good, or he's
- 24:41Speaker 1: an all pro or everything, and we're doing it right
- 24:44Speaker 1: now with you know, with Javonte Williams on, you know,
- 24:48Speaker 1: in a good way, and he's he's running the ball well. Again,
- 24:52Speaker 1: It's what I've said. I think it's a combination of
- 24:55Speaker 1: the coaches going all right, this is a player that
- 24:58Speaker 1: I'm looking for. Maybe he didn't work out over here
- 25:02Speaker 1: the same way, but I'm going to use him this way.
- 25:04Speaker 1: And I have a vision for him. And that's kind
- 25:06Speaker 1: of what we're seeing. And it's not just him, they're
- 25:09Speaker 1: they're running the ball better and so they have a
- 25:12Speaker 1: vision for that offensive line and how to do things.
- 25:15Speaker 1: All right. Let's go to Jr. In Avondale, Arizona.
- 25:21Speaker 6: Going and Nick, how's everything there in Dallas?
- 25:23Speaker 1: Great?
- 25:23Speaker 6: How are you oh hanging in there and doing all right?
- 25:26Speaker 6: So I'll make it quick. So Nate Thomas. They kind
- 25:31Speaker 6: of shut Nate Thomas down last year, guy that's injured
- 25:35Speaker 6: a lot. They shut him down and gave him a
- 25:37Speaker 6: whole year basically, in my opinion, just to get better.
- 25:41Speaker 6: With all the people coming back and with so much talent,
- 25:45Speaker 6: we know guys are going to have to go. So
- 25:47Speaker 6: do we bring back all these guys? I know, I
- 25:50Speaker 6: know that Mingo and Carson are on their twenty one
- 25:54Speaker 6: day window. I think that they're gonna leave Mingo out
- 25:56Speaker 6: there for the whole twenty one days. See what happens
- 25:59Speaker 6: with Turpin and Lamb. But a guy like Revel, is
- 26:05Speaker 6: he a guy that maybe he doesn't play this year
- 26:07Speaker 6: because he's had a lot of he's had injuries, and
- 26:10Speaker 6: do we let him just completely heal? I'd bite my
- 26:13Speaker 6: tongue and hate to say this, but if the season
- 26:16Speaker 6: starts getting away, do they do the same with Demo
- 26:19Speaker 6: and just shut him down? And he's such a talent,
- 26:22Speaker 6: you just give him time to get better and not
- 26:24Speaker 6: putting back in the situation that's not going to make
- 26:26Speaker 6: a difference. So it's all I got. Have a great day,
- 26:29Speaker 6: go cowboyst.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Well thanks for the call. They are and you know,
- 26:35Speaker 1: every every injury is different, every situation is different, so
- 26:39Speaker 1: it's hard to kind of compare what worked here and
- 26:41Speaker 1: what didn't work. I think you just have to evaluate
- 26:45Speaker 1: overshown as you know, just in a separate case. Uh,
- 26:50Speaker 1: is he ready to play football? I mean when he
- 26:52Speaker 1: comes back, can he can he make a difference, Can
- 26:56Speaker 1: he can he help this team? Is he going to
- 26:59Speaker 1: come right right in? And you know when can he
- 27:01Speaker 1: play and contribute? And you know he feels like he
- 27:05Speaker 1: can play this year, And if the Cowboys feel the
- 27:08Speaker 1: same way, then you know that's then they'll they'll do that.
- 27:11Speaker 1: You know, you can't just compare the situation with Nate Thomas.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Remember Nate Thomas is a small school guy at Louisiana University,
- 27:19Speaker 1: and he didn't play a lot of preseason games, so
- 27:23Speaker 1: he just didn't have a lot of experience and that's
- 27:25Speaker 1: what he needed. And so and he even if he
- 27:28Speaker 1: wasn't hurt, he really wasn't able to kind of contribute
- 27:31Speaker 1: and help. But Overshown's a different case because if he
- 27:34Speaker 1: is healthy, he can be a significant helper to this defense.
- 27:41Speaker 1: You can argue that he might be your best linebacker
- 27:44Speaker 1: if he just comes right back right now. So he's
- 27:47Speaker 1: the most accomplished of them in my opinion. So anyways,
- 27:50Speaker 1: good question. But remember these injuries are all different, and
- 27:54Speaker 1: I think everybody's situation is not the same. Let's go
- 27:57Speaker 1: to Mark, He's in Davis, California.
- 28:01Speaker 21: Hey, what's uping that gold On?
- 28:03Speaker 1: Are you.
- 28:04Speaker 21: Oh great, man, I just uh uh glad to get in, man.
- 28:08Speaker 21: It's been I got in last year one time.
- 28:10Speaker 9: I think I called.
- 28:10Speaker 21: I got in right before my fight, after my daughter
- 28:12Speaker 21: had passed away. You know you probably don't remember her. No,
- 28:15Speaker 21: right before the Niner game. I called in last year
- 28:18Speaker 21: and uh in September. But yeah, I'm hanging in the
- 28:21Speaker 21: man's taking a date by day, but trying trying to
- 28:23Speaker 21: move get on with with the daily life.
- 28:25Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if it ever gets better,
- 28:28Speaker 1: and I wouldn't speak from experience.
- 28:31Speaker 10: Yeah, no, it doesn't.
- 28:32Speaker 5: It doesn't get any easier.
- 28:33Speaker 21: You know, some people say it gets easier, but it doesn't.
- 28:35Speaker 12: It doesn't.
- 28:36Speaker 21: It's a it's a daily just to get out of
- 28:38Speaker 21: dead man. It's it's tough just to roll out.
- 28:40Speaker 1: And I can't imagine. I can't imagine.
- 28:43Speaker 21: Yeah, but I got my I got my twelve year
- 28:45Speaker 21: old granddaughter. She left behind, so we've got to live
- 28:47Speaker 21: for her, right But anyhow, anyway, under on the Cowboys.
- 28:51Speaker 21: But no, man, I just want to give a shout
- 28:52Speaker 21: out to the to our old line man and both
- 28:55Speaker 21: my O line and D line last game they played awesome,
- 28:59Speaker 21: man for you know, the four different starters and four
- 29:03Speaker 21: new starters in there, and then the D line finally
- 29:06Speaker 21: got some pressure you know what I mean, right, long
- 29:08Speaker 21: awaited pressure on the QB.
- 29:10Speaker 9: So hopefully you.
- 29:11Speaker 21: Keep this up, you know, hopefully have to sign up
- 29:14Speaker 21: things to come with the D line, you know, get
- 29:16Speaker 21: some more pressure to release, get some help out. It'll
- 29:20Speaker 21: help our back end out either too. I mean safeties
- 29:23Speaker 21: and corners and stuff and whatnot. But that's it.
- 29:25Speaker 5: Man.
- 29:25Speaker 21: Just wanted to give a shout out to Okay, well,
- 29:27Speaker 21: thank you to the O line and D line for
- 29:29Speaker 21: a great game, and then go Cowboys and hopefully we
- 29:32Speaker 21: keep it up in Carolina.
- 29:33Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Mark, appreciate the call, and you
- 29:37Speaker 1: keep doing the good work there. And I know that
- 29:39Speaker 1: that's not an easy situation. And I say that a
- 29:43Speaker 1: lot of people probably are going through things not necessarily
- 29:46Speaker 1: like that, but everyone's got things that they go through,
- 29:49Speaker 1: and you know, in a weird way, sometimes sports or
- 29:55Speaker 1: anything that can get your mind off things that you
- 29:57Speaker 1: can be excited about, can can certainly help. And you know,
- 30:01Speaker 1: if the Cowboys, if that's if that's the trick that
- 30:03Speaker 1: does it for some, then you know what, let's let's
- 30:07Speaker 1: root for them. Even more. You know what I mean
- 30:09Speaker 1: to win games, because sometimes they do more than than
- 30:12Speaker 1: we even realize. That old line D line. Yeah, you know,
- 30:16Speaker 1: games are won there. That's what That's where they won.
- 30:18Speaker 1: That's where they're lost. It's right there in the trenches.
- 30:20Speaker 1: And so you see it every every day of the week,
- 30:24Speaker 1: whatever week they play football, whether it's Thursday night, JV
- 30:28Speaker 1: football or or you know, eighth grade football, college pro.
- 30:32Speaker 1: If you're winning up front, you're probably going to win
- 30:35Speaker 1: the game. And that's just the way it is. So
- 30:38Speaker 1: the Cowboys were able to do that, and I think
- 30:40Speaker 1: that was the difference. All Right, Bruce in Houston is next? Bruce?
- 30:43Speaker 1: What's up?
- 30:45Speaker 23: Hey? Nick? Thanks for the call. Prayers out to the
- 30:49Speaker 23: previous caller. That's I'm not supposed to happen. You're not
- 30:51Speaker 23: supposed to live your children. It's not that that's terrible.
- 30:55Speaker 23: Prayers are ye for sure. You know, Dak said something
- 31:00Speaker 23: the other day, Dak's playing really good. I know Michael Strahan,
- 31:04Speaker 23: you know, tempered to said well, let's just wait for
- 31:06Speaker 23: the playoffs. And I unfortunately have to agree with him
- 31:10Speaker 23: because you know, Dak has done this before and played
- 31:14Speaker 23: really great during the pre regular season and then you know,
- 31:17Speaker 23: not so well in the playoffs. So until he does that,
- 31:20Speaker 23: and he even set himself, he goes, he looks at
- 31:22Speaker 23: Roger and Troy, you know, because I always thought I
- 31:26Speaker 23: was I'm sure, I don't know if you've got to
- 31:27Speaker 23: watch Danny White play or not, Nick, but.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Danny White I was in my backyard. I mean, yes,
- 31:37Speaker 1: Danny White was the quarterback that I knew.
- 31:39Speaker 7: H yeah, I mean I'm a little older you.
- 31:42Speaker 23: Roger was my guy. But the point I'm making is
- 31:45Speaker 23: Danny White and beat a lot of records that Roger
- 31:48Speaker 23: had up there, but he didn't go to the Super Bowl. Now,
- 31:51Speaker 23: and I always thought, you know, Romo was kind of
- 31:53Speaker 23: like a Danny White, you know, because when you hear
- 31:57Speaker 23: Dallas talk about the Super Bowls, it's Roger and Troy,
- 31:59Speaker 23: you know, respectively, Because but Danny White went to the
- 32:02Speaker 23: championship game. Hadn't been for Joe Montana, they probably won
- 32:05Speaker 23: one himself. And if you just won one, you'd say
- 32:08Speaker 23: Danny White in the same breath as Roger and Troy.
- 32:12Speaker 23: And Dak said that the other day, and so I'm
- 32:14Speaker 23: glad he said that because he knows what he's got
- 32:18Speaker 23: to do. Uh, and technic Lee's not even in Danny's
- 32:21Speaker 23: league yet because he had made it to the championship game.
- 32:24Speaker 23: You know, at least Danny did that. I'm not I'm
- 32:27Speaker 23: not mistaken. You may be able to correct me. I
- 32:29Speaker 23: think at least twice he went there.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Three years, okay, three years in a row in the
- 32:33Speaker 1: championship games.
- 32:34Speaker 23: That's pretty durned good. Pretty good. And if they'd have
- 32:37Speaker 23: won that stupid forty nine Ers game, you know they'd
- 32:39Speaker 23: I believe it was Cincinnati that forty nine Ers mopped
- 32:42Speaker 23: the floor with, but we would have too that. In fact,
- 32:45Speaker 23: they all said that was the super Bowl. Whoever won
- 32:46Speaker 23: that game was going to run the super Bowl. But
- 32:48Speaker 23: I hope Dak does it, because God, he's playing really good.
- 32:51Speaker 23: I just want him to put it together. And I
- 32:53Speaker 23: love the offensive coaches that they've picked, the offensive line coaches,
- 32:57Speaker 23: because man, when you can play four, I know they're
- 33:01Speaker 23: called backups, but they did pretty durn good. I know
- 33:03Speaker 23: it gets a Jets and they should beat Carolina next week.
- 33:07Speaker 23: So murderers Row is coming up, and it does seem
- 33:11Speaker 23: like they're finally either getting eber Flus's defense or getting
- 33:14Speaker 23: better healthier. So I'll hang up and listen. But that's
- 33:19Speaker 23: what I appreciate about Dak.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Good Joe, thanks for the call. You know, Dak Dok
- 33:25Speaker 1: handles that question very well. You know, the in any time,
- 33:30Speaker 1: it's like, Dak, you passed Rumo for most three hundred
- 33:33Speaker 1: yard games and a three with three tds or whatever
- 33:36Speaker 1: it is. You know, whatever the PR's staff sends out there,
- 33:40Speaker 1: somebody will ask Dak about it, and you know, and
- 33:42Speaker 1: he's he's he answers the question, you know, graciously. He says, yeah,
- 33:48Speaker 1: I mean, I I the records are great, they're awesome.
- 33:53Speaker 1: But at the same time, he also understands that that
- 33:56Speaker 1: it's Roger and Troy, you know, winning Super That's what
- 34:00Speaker 1: they've done. That's doesn't matter what it is. Just like
- 34:04Speaker 1: Jason Garrett had more wins in the regular season than
- 34:07Speaker 1: Jimmy I guess, or you know, no one cares about
- 34:11Speaker 1: that kind of stuff because when you talk about the
- 34:13Speaker 1: great coaches, these are the ones we talked about, the
- 34:15Speaker 1: ones that won the Super Bowl, or at least the
- 34:17Speaker 1: two that won the Super Bowl. Nobody seems to put
- 34:19Speaker 1: Barry in there, but I would because he won the
- 34:21Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But but yeah, quarterback, you know, you say,
- 34:26Speaker 1: if Danny White would have won one, he would have
- 34:28Speaker 1: been up there with those guys. Well, Barry Switzer won
- 34:30Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and he's not up there with those guys.
- 34:32Speaker 1: But I know what your point is. You would have
- 34:34Speaker 1: been viewed differently. Romo would have been viewed differently obviously
- 34:38Speaker 1: if you win, and Dak's gonna be viewed differently if
- 34:40Speaker 1: he wins. That's just the way that it goes. And
- 34:42Speaker 1: so I you know, I put I loved watching Danny
- 34:47Speaker 1: White when I was a kid. That was the quarterback
- 34:49Speaker 1: from my era. I put Romo ahead of him, though,
- 34:53Speaker 1: I mean, I don't look at the NFC championship games
- 34:55Speaker 1: like that. I put Romo ahead of him as a
- 34:57Speaker 1: talented quarterback and a better player. Just always look at
- 35:00Speaker 1: that about where you are when you took over the franchise.
- 35:04Speaker 1: What did you do to the franchise? Did you take
- 35:06Speaker 1: it up a level or did it go down with
- 35:09Speaker 1: you and Danny White? Yeah, they went to championship games,
- 35:12Speaker 1: but as a franchise in the eighties, they went down
- 35:14Speaker 1: when he was the quarterback. So I'm no disrespect to him,
- 35:19Speaker 1: but a talent wise, I think Romo was a better
- 35:21Speaker 1: quarterback and I think Dak and Romo are pretty much
- 35:23Speaker 1: the same. So that's kind of where my list would be,
- 35:26Speaker 1: all right, Casey and Los Angeles is next.
- 35:31Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, speaking of Barry real quick now that your
- 35:33Speaker 11: daughters the sooner, I do expect your allegiance this weekend.
- 35:38Speaker 11: But calling to talk about something else. Obviously, the NFL
- 35:42Speaker 11: loves parody, and we're seeing it out there right now.
- 35:45Speaker 11: I think it's a good thing. There's no great teams,
- 35:48Speaker 11: but there's a bunch of pretty good teams. That the
- 35:51Speaker 11: Cowboys continue to get healthy and pick up the defense,
- 35:54Speaker 11: they're going to be right in the mix. So early on,
- 35:57Speaker 11: we've seen how they've handled adversity. Now see how they
- 36:00Speaker 11: handle prosperity going on the road again. That they should win,
- 36:04Speaker 11: but it's the NFL, so anything can happen. But I'm
- 36:07Speaker 11: completely stoked to see what happened this weekend.
- 36:10Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call. Case he's referring to
- 36:14Speaker 1: the first part. The OU Texas game in Dallas. Will
- 36:18Speaker 1: be in Carolina for that, and so yeah, I've been
- 36:23Speaker 1: on both sides of that. As far as teams that
- 36:25Speaker 1: I've rooted for, there's been times I've rooted for Oklahoma
- 36:28Speaker 1: when I was a younger kid living in Oklahoma, and
- 36:30Speaker 1: then over the last few years, you know, there's so
- 36:33Speaker 1: many people here that are Texas Longhorns. I've found myself
- 36:37Speaker 1: rooting for Texas. My money actually goes now to the
- 36:41Speaker 1: other side, and did and for this specific game. Of course,
- 36:45Speaker 1: I got a ticket when it was gonna be like
- 36:49Speaker 1: a top ten matchup with two great quarterbacks. And now
- 36:52Speaker 1: Texas has fallen off a little bit. Oklahoma doesn't have
- 36:54Speaker 1: their quarterback, so the prices have come down once. You
- 36:58Speaker 1: love when that happens. When you you jump, you try
- 37:01Speaker 1: to get ahead of the game and spend money and
- 37:03Speaker 1: for it. The next thing, you know, it's basically giving
- 37:06Speaker 1: them away, all right. As for your point, though, ok see,
- 37:10Speaker 1: you're right, this is a game that they should win.
- 37:15Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to play to the level
- 37:17Speaker 1: of the competition, but this is going to be a
- 37:18Speaker 1: feisty game. You know they'll it'll be you know, it'll
- 37:22Speaker 1: be like last night team. When you look at Jacksonville,
- 37:25Speaker 1: Kansas City, you see the crowd, there's all Kansas City
- 37:28Speaker 1: fans in there, but the Jacksonville fans. When that happens,
- 37:30Speaker 1: then they go to another level. The Cowboy fans did
- 37:33Speaker 1: that when the Packers came to town. Trust me, the
- 37:37Speaker 1: Cowboy fans are going to dominate this stadium just like
- 37:39Speaker 1: they did last week. But the Panther fans that are
- 37:42Speaker 1: there that they got something to be cheering about, they'll
- 37:44Speaker 1: be excited. It'll be a great atmosphere. I think the
- 37:47Speaker 1: Panthers are playing better on defense, but I still think
- 37:51Speaker 1: it's a game. The Cowboys should go up there and
- 37:52Speaker 1: take care of business and win. I mean, you got
- 37:54Speaker 1: to get after Bryce Young and then make him uncomfortable.
- 37:58Speaker 1: All right, Ed, and New York is next.
- 38:01Speaker 5: Good morning, neck, Happy victory Tuesday.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Let's keep it rolling, all right?
- 38:06Speaker 11: How are you great?
- 38:08Speaker 5: Uh? We had four of us drive down to the
- 38:10Speaker 5: game on Sunday.
- 38:12Speaker 9: I loved it.
- 38:14Speaker 5: Comfortable win. I mean, for once my star shakh Ulcer
- 38:18Speaker 5: wasn't on fire on a Sunday and it felt a
- 38:21Speaker 5: little strange.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it did. It did kind of feel weird. It
- 38:25Speaker 1: looked like maybe the Jets were going to try to
- 38:27Speaker 1: come back into it. But again another thing I disagree
- 38:31Speaker 1: with Aaron Glenn. I would not have kicked it on
- 38:33Speaker 1: sidekick there, but they did, and that pretty much ended
- 38:36Speaker 1: any chance of them winning that game.
- 38:39Speaker 5: But yeah, whatever, fire fun environment a hot day. I
- 38:43Speaker 5: felt bad for I saw you and Derek and the
- 38:45Speaker 5: sidelines and suits, and I felt bad for you. But
- 38:48Speaker 5: I want to just give a couple of props out
- 38:50Speaker 5: on one Germonte Williams. I was not a big fan
- 38:53Speaker 5: when they signed him. I thought they didn't do enough
- 38:55Speaker 5: in the running back room. And boy was I wrong,
- 38:58Speaker 5: especially when he took that jersey number. Really was not
- 39:00Speaker 5: on his side, but he has converted me. Uh he
- 39:03Speaker 5: is a tough, tough son of a gun. And uh,
- 39:07Speaker 5: second props to the coach Shady. I just felt like
- 39:12Speaker 5: you've heard these calls. You've had a bunch of them
- 39:14Speaker 5: on didn't feel like Jerry, and they didn't thoroughly search enough.
- 39:20Speaker 5: But apparently something was said and they knew, they knew
- 39:25Speaker 5: what we didn't know. And little by little he's been
- 39:28Speaker 5: turning me. You know. It started with developing the staff.
- 39:31Speaker 5: He TechEd some guys that were teachers and coaches and
- 39:33Speaker 5: I thought, huh interesting and little by little game management
- 39:38Speaker 5: right from the Philly game on heavy, little, little by
- 39:40Speaker 5: Little's he's bringing bringing me around and and I'm a believer,
- 39:45Speaker 5: So props Flowers to Davante and Shadi. Uh, thanks and
- 39:50Speaker 5: talk to you later.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Okay, thank you so much. You're right, Davante, we talked
- 39:53Speaker 1: about it several times.
- 39:55Speaker 23: Uh.
- 39:55Speaker 1: You know, he's he just runs hardy. He's a great
- 39:58Speaker 1: compliment to what to what they're trying to do, and
- 40:02Speaker 1: the play action works so well. You're also seeing it
- 40:05Speaker 1: open up for Ferguson and you know he's not he
- 40:08Speaker 1: doesn't put up a ton of yards, but he's making
- 40:10Speaker 1: kind of a ton of catches. And you know that
- 40:12Speaker 1: five six yards. You can laugh at it if you
- 40:14Speaker 1: want to, you know, but it's it's definitely, you know,
- 40:17Speaker 1: half of first down, if not more than that. So
- 40:20Speaker 1: it's it's moving the change and it's just playing pitch
- 40:23Speaker 1: and catch out there and and it's and it's working.
- 40:25Speaker 1: But the running game is really what sets it all off.
- 40:28Speaker 1: All right, Eric and Colleen Texas is next.
- 40:33Speaker 10: Hey, Yeah, how are you doing?
- 40:37Speaker 23: Oh?
- 40:37Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how are you doing? Man?
- 40:40Speaker 1: Good?
- 40:40Speaker 6: Are you good?
- 40:42Speaker 24: I was listening yesterday and hearing you guys talk about
- 40:45Speaker 24: Shotty and Dack being this on the same page, and
- 40:48Speaker 24: how sometimes you know, an assistant or whatever, you have
- 40:51Speaker 24: to keep your mouth shut when you think you see
- 40:53Speaker 24: things that the head coach may not necessarily agree with, right,
- 40:57Speaker 24: And I'm just kind of wondering how you think the
- 40:59Speaker 24: MC feel this you're watching that just cook with ideas
- 41:02Speaker 24: that he'd probably heard the last year or two that
- 41:04Speaker 24: he thought were not good.
- 41:06Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean, and it's not the first time, right,
- 41:10Speaker 1: because I mean didn't Green Bay have some some success
- 41:14Speaker 1: as well, you know, after after him and in different
- 41:17Speaker 1: situation with the coaching staff. But as far as the
- 41:20Speaker 1: same guys and and and have, you know, you'd ever
- 41:22Speaker 1: want to hear that you never want to leave and
- 41:24Speaker 1: then all of a sudden things get to get better.
- 41:26Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I think Schottenheimer, though he talked
- 41:29Speaker 1: about it like it's been a respectful situation with him
- 41:32Speaker 1: and Mike and and I think shot he did it
- 41:35Speaker 1: the right way. I don't think there was some sabotage
- 41:38Speaker 1: going on or anything like that. I mean, as an assistant,
- 41:41Speaker 1: you always have opinions. I mean it's not just in football.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Think about in your job. You mean, your boss says
- 41:47Speaker 1: one thing and you you think there's a different way
- 41:49Speaker 1: because you see it differently because you're maybe you're in
- 41:51Speaker 1: it a little bit more than they are. But they
- 41:53Speaker 1: have a different agenda too because of what you know,
- 41:56Speaker 1: what's going on maybe above them or whatever. So that's life.
- 41:59Speaker 1: That that's that's the it is, and how you handle it,
- 42:02Speaker 1: how you you go about your business and say what
- 42:04Speaker 1: if we try this? Have you thought about this? And
- 42:07Speaker 1: then then when it is your time, and that's what
- 42:09Speaker 1: you do when you become a manager or a director
- 42:11Speaker 1: or boss, whatever, head coach, you say, these are some
- 42:14Speaker 1: of the things. If I'm ever in this position, this
- 42:17Speaker 1: is how I'm going to do it differently. And so
- 42:19Speaker 1: I give him credit for that, and I think it's
- 42:21Speaker 1: working out because the thing about Shoddy is he's just
- 42:23Speaker 1: a great person. He's just a people person. He understands people,
- 42:27Speaker 1: he understands relationships, and I think it's going real well
- 42:30Speaker 1: between him and Dak. All right, let's go to G
- 42:33Speaker 1: in Atlanta.
- 42:34Speaker 25: G what's up Nick?
- 42:37Speaker 26: Happy Tuesday, my brother?
- 42:38Speaker 1: How are you?
- 42:39Speaker 26: I am doing well?
- 42:40Speaker 23: Man?
- 42:40Speaker 26: I appreciate you taking my call. Sure, all right, man,
- 42:43Speaker 26: I got a couple. I got two questions for you, which, uh,
- 42:50Speaker 26: which group do you think are playing the best running backs?
- 42:54Speaker 26: Wide receivers, tight ends are O line? And then my
- 43:00Speaker 26: second question is I've been saying all the year off
- 43:03Speaker 26: season man that I feel like we're moving different, The
- 43:06Speaker 26: organization is moving different. Is Stephen Jones kind of taking
- 43:13Speaker 26: over more of the.
- 43:15Speaker 25: The head roll now or.
- 43:17Speaker 19: This all Jerry Jones.
- 43:18Speaker 26: I think we've done.
- 43:19Speaker 25: Things differently this year, like signing people, signing people early,
- 43:24Speaker 25: getting rid of Michael Parkson, which never happens. So I
- 43:29Speaker 25: just want to get your thoughts on that, man.
- 43:32Speaker 1: From the line, Well, thanks for the call. And you
- 43:35Speaker 1: know those two scenarios you said, is it is it
- 43:38Speaker 1: just all Jerry Jones or Stephen Jones now the main guy?
- 43:42Speaker 1: And I think it's I think it's neither of those
- 43:45Speaker 1: two scenarios. You know, I don't think it's it's all
- 43:48Speaker 1: of anyone. But I also think Jerry's still you know,
- 43:51Speaker 1: he's still in control of this. Stephen every year seems
- 43:55Speaker 1: to have a little bit more voice, That's what it
- 43:57Speaker 1: seems like. But you know, and looking down the road
- 44:01Speaker 1: and what makes you know the best move not just
- 44:05Speaker 1: this year but but next year. So and he's always
- 44:08Speaker 1: kind of done that. If you go back to the
- 44:11Speaker 1: signing deon Sanders, you know, they got into a little
- 44:13Speaker 1: shoving match in the hallway because he didn't think that
- 44:16Speaker 1: was a smart move for how much money they were
- 44:18Speaker 1: paying for. And you know, Jerry had a different vision,
- 44:21Speaker 1: and I think it turned out to be a good,
- 44:23Speaker 1: you know, a good move there. But all right, let's
- 44:26Speaker 1: and then another another part that you made. Which of
- 44:29Speaker 1: these position groups are playing the best running back, receivers,
- 44:33Speaker 1: O line or tight ends. I that's that's a good
- 44:38Speaker 1: one because they've all other than tight ends, everyone's really
- 44:41Speaker 1: experienced injuries, and running backs a little bit injury. I
- 44:45Speaker 1: would say your receivers, probably because Pickens has been outstanding.
- 44:51Speaker 1: Flinoy Camp comes in, he's been really good. Uh in
- 44:54Speaker 1: the game that that that he got to play CD.
- 44:57Speaker 1: You know, he did have that first game where he
- 44:59Speaker 1: dropped some some passes, still had one hundred yards. That
- 45:01Speaker 1: had one hundred the next game. So I think the receivers,
- 45:03Speaker 1: but you can't really go wrong with any of those.
- 45:06Speaker 1: All right, let's go one more break here on Cowboys storyline.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Be right back after this.
- 45:11Speaker 22: All right, Cowboys fans, this one's for you. Jill Let's

- 46:18Speaker 1: Cowboys Welcome Back to Cowboys storyline. A lot of calls today,
- 46:25Speaker 1: got some text questions. One that I want to throw
- 46:27Speaker 1: at real quick Mike from Boston. He says, I guess
- 46:29Speaker 1: it's safe to say Ryan f Illinoy could never go
- 46:31Speaker 1: back on the practice squard. He'll get scooped up. Yeah,
- 46:33Speaker 1: probably not. Those days are over. That's a good thing.
- 46:35Speaker 1: He was on the practice squad for one week, they
- 46:37Speaker 1: elevated him and he's been on the roster ever since.
- 46:40Speaker 1: I bet he's gonna stay that way. Remember Mingo's coming
- 46:44Speaker 1: back as well. You still have Jalen Tolbert Turpin, not
- 46:47Speaker 1: to mention CD and of course Pickings. So the receivers
- 46:51Speaker 1: group looks really good right now. But Flinoy definitely gave
- 46:55Speaker 1: you some some Miles Austen vibes a little bit. Jerry
- 46:58Speaker 1: Jones actually said that on his Ready show that he
- 47:00Speaker 1: thought that as well. Great problem to have and a
- 47:03Speaker 1: lot of the weapons there for Dak in that group,
- 47:06Speaker 1: guys at standy show a lot of fun. We'll do
