  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

  Speaker 3: Cowboys This's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It is Monday, September the thirtieth, and the Cowboys are
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: coming off a mini bye weekend. I guess you could
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: say I felt like I felt like they didn't play.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It's been like two weeks since they played that game
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Thursday night. But it's not. It's just been a few days.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Cowboys get to win over the Giants to get to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: two and two, and then get to watch the rest
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of the league and different things happen. It's just I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: just think it's just a weird league this year. There's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. It's hard to just predict anything.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It's been it's been a month, it's been four games,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: but I still feel like the jury's out on so
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: many teams, Cowboys being one of them. On what they are,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: what they're going to be, Obviously, it's going to be
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: an uphill battle just looking at the schedule, looking at
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the teams that they're going to face. I say that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: even though I said it's hard to figure out what
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: they are and it is. But I think you know
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that these are going to be tough games. The Cowboys are,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that's just the way they're built. Right now, it's going
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to be a close game, especially when you lose two
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: defensive ends like they've lost in the last a few days.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Now with DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons expected to miss
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: some time. D law it could be two months, maybe
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: six to eight weeks. We'll see what that looks like
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: with him with a foot injury. Michael Parsons high ankle's brain.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I would guess with him, you know, he'll be fighting
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to get back for the Detroit game in two weeks,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: but with the bye week, it makes more sense to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe getting back for the forty nine ers.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Like again, I we don't know, just you know, we
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: don't know yet what's going to happen. I've seen Jason
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Whitten come back from two high ankle sprains on a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving week and play so high ankle sprain
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: isn't the same for everyone, but for a guy that's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, quick twitch like he is and gets off
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the edge and uses that that strength and power, I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: would think it's it's gonna be hard for him to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: just come back and be Mika Parsons like he is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: this week. But again, we'll find out Mike McCarthy talks
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to the media later this afternoon, he'll have more I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: hope he has more insight on that. All right, eight
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven. Let's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: get to the phone lines. Let's go to Bruce in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Houston to start us off.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, good morning.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: How you doing, Bruce.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: I'm doing okay. You know, I've been I'm sixty two
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: years old, and I've been a Cowboys fan since I
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: was big. I guess started watching football with Pops. But
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: so I've seen all the Super Bowls and that that
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: we've won, and the good seasons and the bad. But
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I've noticed as i've gotten older, maybe it's just because
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: of that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I used to get mad.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: It ruined my week in school and college. And you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: even at work, you know, you fight with your coworkers
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: about the Cowboys, especially live in Newton, having to put
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: up with the orlers all those years and what have you.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: But I don't even do that anymore now. This team,
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: you know, until yes, they beat the Giants. I'm happy
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: about that, but you know, it's just like the last
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: few years, and they beat up on the Giants, the
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns maybe, and you know that. I don't mean
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: to say it disrespectfully the sisters of the NFL, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: that's what it is. But with the good teams, they
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: they seem to not play very well during the regular
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: season or in the playoffs. And I think a lot
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: of Cowboy fans are feeling the same way I am
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: right now. I notice I read it a lot of
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: the blogs of the blogging the boys, how you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: frustrated people are and and and so, just like with
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: the running back position, I think they should have spent
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: the second or third round and I you know of
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: last year's draft, but they didn't, you know, and going
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: by committee is not the answer. Hopefully they can spend
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: one next year. But because it's you know, it's going
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: to take a rebuild. But getting a hamstrung with a
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: big contract with dak is it was not the answer
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: in my opinion, But it is what it is. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: you never did tell me does he does he have
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: a no trade clause in this new contract.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't don't know that. I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if it if it matter,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter right now. I mean you're
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: not gonna stay because I mean, no one even you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: don't really think like that because you can't get out
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of this deal for the next two or three years.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: So two years.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know a lot of those deals you can
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: get out in a couple of years. But I hate
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: to say it. And I like Micah, but he almost Dallas.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I know they may have the money, but it might
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: be wise to use him like the Herschel Walker and
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: trade him if you know, if he's healthy, just to
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: bounce act from this. But I'll hang up and listen,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: but you know, until they until they prove it during
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: the regular season. It's it's one other quick thing. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: I didn't really want to mention it, but I think
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: I will my my my dad's eighty eight and the
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: suffering from dementia, which is a terrible disease. But I
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: mean he would be the same way I am because
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: of him. You know, I get mad at the Cowboys,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: but and he watches it with me now, but he
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: just he just he'd rather watch a western almost, you know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I'm terrible to say that, but I almost feel like him,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: you know, like, oh, well they win, they win, they
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: don't they don't anyway, all right, I enjoy your.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Show this, thanks for the call, Thanks for getting this
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: started off. Hey that that that's uh, that's your that's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: your opinion. That's fine. I get the frustration. I get it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But I mean I just feel like there's a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of football left to be played. And so I I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: guess I've been trained differently, and I and and I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: say that because like just working here in the first
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: three years I worked here, or the first four years,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but the three in a row is five and eleven, so,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you know, to survive in this job and do it,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I look at different things to kind of get me
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: excited about this team and covering the Cowboys, are watching
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the team and all that. So, you know, I don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: think this is a team that's going to be competing
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for a super Bowl. I think it's going to be
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a fight to get into the playoffs. That's what this
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that's what I look at. That, that's what this. That's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: what I think this team is gonna be. So my
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: perspective's changed a little bit. So every game is you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Giants, the Commanders, everybody you play Carolina, the goals
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to go win. It's done. There's no you know, style
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: points or any of that kind of stuff. I think
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that's one thing we've learned on this So that's that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: good for me. And now that I know you know
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: what what this season is. But to me, the expectations,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: if your expectations are to get to the playoffs, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: we got to win in the playoffs, we've got to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: end this streak of thirty years of the without a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. I don't think this is the year for that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So if you're gonna if that, if that's the goal,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: if that's the standard that it's going to be, well
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you know it's not gonna be a fun season. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: don't think for you. But I don't. I don't know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: That's again that's every fan is different. Let's go to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Gary in New Mexico.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how's it going good?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Gary? How are you?
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: I agree with you a little bit. Yeah, there's a
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: lot of football. Let it be played, man, And right
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: now it looks like Washington may be the team to
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: beat in the division. But we'll see how it works out.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but I do have a trivia question.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: For you since it's Pittsburgh week.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: Okay, So Roger Stallback, my favorite all time cowboy, never
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in his career. He was zero
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: to four lifetime against the Steelers. Okay, there's two other
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: teams that Roger Stallback played at least once in his
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: career that he never beat. He played each one of
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: them one time. Can you name those two AFC teams?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Ah Man, I would I would say the Jets.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: No, he'd beat the Jets.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: This is just established. I wouldn't know, I was, I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just gonna.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: I knew I would get you on this one.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: I finally got you on the one.
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: The Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, Raiders.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Only other two teams Roger couldn't be played them one time.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: He's lost those games.
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: Anyway.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, back to the present time. So now my expectation,
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: I think the expectation should always be Super Bowl with Bust.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, we are the Dallas Cowboys. Now we likely
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: won't reach those expectations, but we need to shoot for
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: the stars right and enjoy one week at a time.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between the standard and the expectation.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I think the standard is to do that. But you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: don't expect that this year, though, right, I mean, you
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: don't expect them to go to the Super Bowl.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Well I'm deranged, Nick, all right, you know what I think?
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: You know what I always think the positive, I mean
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: the positive and that this is a young football team
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: and there's a lot of football left.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and uh, let's just see how it plays that
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: because you just don't know, that's right. I mean, I
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: was very encouraged by the football I saw yesterday, with
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: the exception of Washington looking so good, everybody else I
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: was worried about didn't look any better than us. So
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: we'll see how it goes. But here's my question for it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I'll hang up. I think we need to see a
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: lot more of Hunter Lifke and Rico Daddle and a
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: lot less of the other running backs. And I'll hang
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: up and listen to your respond Thank.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: You, all right? Yeah, I mean everything that Hunter, everything
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: he's doing is he's getting better and better every every
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: single week. He is going to get more and more touches,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: get more looks. He's he's I mean everything they put
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: on his plate, he takes it, and he keeps adding
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to it. I mean, he's like Thanksgiving, you know, you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: just keep piling things on his plate and he's eating
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it all. I love what he's been able to do.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And I think I said this last week here or somewhere,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but you know what the forty nine ers have developed,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and that Kyle seems like it's a role for for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Hunter Lifkey. Maybe a little bit more of a runner
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: though and less tight end, but a little more of
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a runner who can who can you know, do some
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: things there. I mean it's they're gonna need him, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and and and he's what a what a I don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: know about weapon is the right word. But it's just
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a luxury to have a guy that can do so
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: many different things and and it helps you on game day. Well,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you don't have to take a fourth tight end here
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: if this guy's banged up because you got Hunter Loopke,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: or you maybe don't have to go heavy at running
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: back this week because you have HUNTERD. Loopkey. So there's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: some things you can do there. And also he might
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: even be a linebacker down but he can do that
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: role on special teams that linebackers could do. So that's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a really valuable player when you can have a guys
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that can do different things and he's and he's making plays.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I mean he helped. He helped make like three critical
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: plays in that game. First downs that he picked up
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: three times, one is as a pass catcher, two runs
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that helped him. I think they scored on all of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: those drives. Maybe the field goal miss wasn't one, but
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that was huge because they that first down got more
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: time off the club. All right, let's go to Bob
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in Rio Grand Valley.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: How you doing, nicky, Bob?
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: You sound like it sounds a little flat today, Buddy,
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: that's kind of unusual for you.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Flat.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: I sound flat, Yeah, a.
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: Little bit like you're a little discouraged. I think we
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: all are a little bit at this point.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I'm not discouraged on this team at all.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I Mean, my expectations are that they're going to be
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: fighting at until the very end to try to make
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it into the playoffs. That's what I think that they're
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be. I don't think they're gonna this is a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: twelve and five team, But I don't think it's a
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: five and twelve team. I think it's a team that's
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: gonna fight and it's gonna be fun. I'm ready. I mean,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: like I say, this is a roller coaster. I got
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: my hands up. I'm ready to go, like buckle it,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'm ready for it. Here hold my hat, sir,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: because this is gonna be a fun right, It's gonna
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be that kind of right all year.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: I got a couple of little things here that you
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: were mentioning. Hundred lifkey. We're starting to utilize that guy
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: to part of his potential, but I don't think we're
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: utilizing him yet to all of it, or there's a
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: lot more to him that we can still utilize, which
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: will give us a great deal of help. I'm encouraged
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: about the offense and what I see on the offense.
• 12:23
  Speaker 10: There's some things I see on the defense that are encouraging,
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: particularly Mazi of this last game. Of course, I'm not
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: going to judge him on one game, which the princid
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: and putting. We'll see what happens in the future. But
• 12:38
  Speaker 10: here's my question. Right now, it looks like we're definitely
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: gonna need some help on the past rush. Jerry's got
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: to I understand or that picked up through some of
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: the other programs that he might have about twenty five
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: million to work with. Is there anybody that we can
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: go out there and get that will help us with
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: a past rush until we can get our two boys back.
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: That's my question. Thank you for taking my call. I
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: have a great day, buddy.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You know there there are guys you can
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: go get and uh, you know where we work here,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and we're not going to sit there and talk about
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: players on other teams because that would that would lead
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: us down a road of tampering. Uh. And if you
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: don't think that's real, it is. Trust me, I've been there.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's not fun. So you really you really can't speculate
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: on that kind of stuff because what happens is is
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: then if it does happen, then it was like the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Cowboys were doing this all along. They even told their
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: guys on the on the podcast and and they knew
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: about it. And so we don't even go down that road.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know of names specifically, but I mean, I'm
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: sure what you need to look for if you're trying
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to get help right away is you need to look
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: for players that are probably in the third or fourth
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: year of of of their career and maybe you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: former first or second round picks that are maybe not
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: going to be retained next year and then you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: but but they're probably gonna go hit free agency. So
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: what you have to do is trade for the fact
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that basically trading a team for the comp pick that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: they're going to get in two years, uh and say,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll we'll take him on and then we'll
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: deal with him at the end of the year. We
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: got thirty other unrestricted free agents will add him in.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: That's the that's how you get value, I think for
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: players that have talent but maybe it hasn't worked out
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: so great where they are right now. That's you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And that's the same with a running back. If you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: were to do that, it would be that kind of guy,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: kind of younger team maybe is going to resign him,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: maybe not, you know, and then and then you you
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: trade for that kind of player. That's always the kind
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of guy that you trade for. You know, the guy
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that gets traded is always in that boat, like he's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: got some kind of talent, but he's just not playing
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: for whatever the reason, and and it's probably not going
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to work out for him long term. That's why they
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: trade him. So all right, Dylan in Northport, Florida, how's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it going, good man? How are you?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I'm doing good. Thanks. It's funny a couple of colors ago,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: a gentleman was talking about the standard. You know, we're
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys, so it's Super Bowl or bust.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: That's a standard.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm just like, you know, I think there's a
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: bit of an age and generational difference. It's like, can
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: they get past like there's a visional round because I've
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: never seen that happen, so that would.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Be like crazy cool either do that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, at least you got to experience it
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: before you work for the Cowboys. I know what happens.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: You've worked there. Yeah, you haven't done it, but yeah, true, yeah, yeah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So I don't.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: Know what that's like.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: But I just find that's funny. It's kind of a
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: generational difference there. And I'm not going to make any
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: like definitive declarations about this team until maybe around Thanksgiving
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: time unless it really falls off a cliff. But you're
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: going to see all season long, like they're really good
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: teams that are really good at rushing the ball. They're
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: going to run on us and it's gonna stuck and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: we're going to sit here and hate it. But they
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: only have a few of those on the schedule, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: so I think you'll see a good mix of of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: those games. But as you know, we'll see a good
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: mix of the one, but the Giants team too, where
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: they do a good job womiting the other team on
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the run. And we'll have to see if the past
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: defense can improve because that was pretty bad. There's no
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: pass rush, and so I have to see now it's
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a concern. Obviously, you love Bland coming back and some
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: reinforcements there. I do also think it's time to take
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: a look at Benching Wilson and maybe even hooker two
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: for Juan Ye and Bell once once Bell is healthy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I think especially Donovaniche actively trying to I think lose
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: your games here at this point. It's been a little
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: rough for him. But I do have one question for
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: you then I'll hang up the line drive knuckleball that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Albredy does in the kickoffs. Are we going to see
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: more of that or are they just going to do
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: it one or two times a game because they don't
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: want these return guys to get made it because every
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: time they do it, it's a positive result where they
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: guy's bobbling it or dropping it or whatever it might be.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: So I just want to get your thoughts on that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think more than anything, thank you for
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the call, Dylan. I think more than anything, you'll see
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a difference in the kickoff return here in the next
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you know, definitely in the next two months. Probably in
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the next month, when the weather starts to change, you'll
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: see a lot more turns. The ball won't sail as far.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: There'll be something. You'll see some turnovers too. I think
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you'll see some knuckleball type kicks, whether they're intended to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: be knuckleballs or not. So I think that'll happen. And
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it gets colder, it'll be a little tougher to field,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: so I would imagine you'll see that kick a little
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: bit more when they're playing outdoors, maybe even a game
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: like Sunday. You know it's not gonna be cold, but
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be I think it's going to be
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: in the sixties, maybe fifties or sixties, but you know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: if there's wind or anything like that, I think you'll
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: see some of that that those type of kicks because
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they're tough to field, you know, and if you don't
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: field it right away, if it goes to the end zone,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: perfect twenty yard line, that that's where you want. If
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you do try to feel it and you don't you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: bobble it, that's even better because by the time he
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: gets it up and you know, and he's to the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: fifteen twenty that I'm sure there's gonna be guys right
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: there ready to tackle them. So you'll see a little
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: bit of change there, you know. As for running, you know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: stopping the run, I think they'll be okay, even with
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: with Tank out. I mean, because Goldston and Marshaw Kneeland
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: are those that they'll be fine replacing him. Replacing Micah,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I mean you can't. I mean, there is not a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Micah uh he's in Cleveland or or you know, with
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the Raiders or what I mean, they're Pittsburgh. I mean,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: there's only a few and like that, and so I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: don't even I'm sure I missed somebody, uh Bosa or whatever.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: But but I'm just saying there's only a handful of
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: pass rushers like that. They're gonna have to figure out
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: other ways to get to get there. This is where
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Zimbra's experience has got to come into play. I mean,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: this has happened before. I'm sure guys like Anthony Barr
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: or somebody got hurt Minnesota, Danielle and Danielle Hunter, you know.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, like those guys have been hurt. You got
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to figure out how do you generate pass rush? Can
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: overshow and do something? Can he be somebody with all
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that length and speed to do some things. I'm not
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: saying line them up at the end. I'm just saying,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: figure out different ways and schemes to get to the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to the quarterback and do it in unique ways. And
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you have a player like Overshown that should be to help.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, you gotta try something. You gotta try
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: something because you're not just gonna go pick up a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: pass rusher off the street that can do the same things. Yes,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Carl Austin can get in there, and they'll probably bring
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: someone else in, but you know you're gonna have to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: figure out you have to be creative in ways to
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. Here. All right, let's go to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a Curtis in a to Oklahoma.
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: What's up, buddy?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Amen?
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: How are you excellent? So here's what I'm thinking, so
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: the NFL is really not like the NBA, because if
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: you're the worst team, you get the best pick. That's
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: not guaranteed. But I'm a thunderfan, and we do a
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: good job drafting, and the Cowboys do a good job
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: drafting too, So I feel like if we got a
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: high pick, which we haven't gotten over the last several years,
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: we do good with it. So here's my idea. I
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: think that if you're Jerry, you call up San Francisco,
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: they might be feeling pretty good, and you say, can
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: we trade you Cavante Turpin and two second round picks
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: for Christian McCaffrey. And then if you can get that done,
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: you just explore your roster. You let giton bb Carson
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: overshowing these guys that it's their first year, their rookie
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: or whatever. You let them develop. You probably lose a
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: bunch of games, but if you're in a position where
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: you could get into the wild card, hey, you bring
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: everybody back, all hands on deck and you make a push.
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: If not, I think you've still set yourself up really
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: good for next year. So just the interesting idea, and
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: I wanted to know your thoughts. I'll hang up and listen.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: All right. You know, I just got done talking about,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you know, hypothetical trades, stuff like that. Stuff we really
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: can't talk about. I think I could talk about this one.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm sorry. I just saw on the news
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to Kem Babeman Tumbo that's the way. Sorry, man, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: didn't think that was going to hit me like that.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that that happened. Sorry, man, I just
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: remember that finger swag. I don't think that's a hypothetical
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: trade at all. The best player in football when he's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: healthy for two second round picks in a punk return
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: slash gadget receiver who weighs one hundred and fifty pounds,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: trading him to your art rival, you know, or one
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: of your rivals. The team that you had the Cowboys
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: haven't been better than the forty nine ers. I don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: see that one happening at all. You said two second
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: round picks. I think you're gonna need to go higher
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: than that, and I just don't see that happening. You know,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it's not that type of player. It's the player that
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: they're not going to bring back. It's not the difference
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: maker on their team. I mean, he's I mean, he
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: could win MVP of the league if they come back
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and play well, because you're just seeing the value. They're
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: not the same team without him and they're losing games.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: So he's an MVP candidate type of player, and it's
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: going to take a lot more than that. So I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: don't know about that one. All right, Thank you Ray,
• 22:04

• 24:12
  Speaker 1: College Station. What's up Marcus?
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: Hey?
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: Nick? How's it going good?
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: How are you doing well? Hey?
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: I just wanted to get your thoughts on I wanted
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: to voice what my frustration has been with with this team.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: But before I say that, first, I do want to
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: say that I think that for every good thing this
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: organization does, it outweighs for the most part, the bad things,
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: outside of, of course, winning the championship. But where my
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: frustration life is. This is an eight and eight league
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: and I'm pretty sure everyone that knows the NFL agrees
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: with that. So with that logic, I just I look
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: at the opportunities this team could have made to trade
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: for players like a von Miller's during that season that
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: the Roums traded for him, and that could have been
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: a difference in a tight game like that. And my
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: point about it being an eight and eight league is
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: that you're gonna have a chance to compete every year,
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: especially when you got a Dak Prescott. And I know
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: they're worried about John and Micah, but he's still under contract.
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: We can franchise tag him. If he doesn't like that,
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: you draft pretty down good. So I would like the
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: return I would get for him and being able to
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: replace him with draft picks. So that's where my frustration is.
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: I think this team is just they're getting worried about
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: the future a little too much when the future is
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: right now. We're actually rebuilding right now, low key, just
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: for the fans that if they don't.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Realize that, Yeah, I mean, you're you're right, it is.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: It is. Well, you're always kind of rebuilding anyways, because
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: that's the nature of the league. You kind of need
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to you But you're right. I mean, this is this
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: is kind of a rebuild. Next year is going to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: be a lot lot more than this. This is kind
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of the last year I think of this where they're
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna try to you know, they're trying to.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: They're been hanging on here is people don't like to
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: hear it. But that's exactly what Jerry meant when he
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: made that comment, was because he thought that they've been
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: doing that. They've been doing that, and this is the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: year where you know, this is going to be their
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: their best year to really really compete.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I just all right, hell yeah, yeah, yeah. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: just it's sad because you know, Mike is due for
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: a big contract and you didn't do nothing to take
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: advantage of his rookie deal. That that applies for premier
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: defensive players as well, you know, But I mean, it
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: is what it is. It's that part's frustrating. Outside of
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: all that, I think they're doing a great job. You
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: win twelve games every year. Me as a fan, I'm
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: enjoying these last three seasons. Not the end, but I'm
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: enjoined the winning.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Right all right, all right, I appreciate it. Thank you, Marcus.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah. I mean it's I get the frustration, and
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I get it. And I also understand too that you know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: like when people call in they haven't called in a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: long time, or sometimes first time callers, and so they
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: have things to say, and and it's the same point
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that we've heard others say. I mean, I I that's
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: part of the show. I mean, I get that just
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: because I've heard it here ten or eleven times I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: have I mean, that's part of it. I mean, let
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: y'all get get that off your chest. And it is
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: very similar. So that's one thing that you forgive me.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And for that I have to You know, when you
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: hear you hear that, you hear that frustration. You just
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: hear it from College station, Texas and you know Florida
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: or New Mexico or Houston. Uh it, you know, it's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: it sounds it sounds the same, but but you know
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it is, it is a little bit different, and everybody
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: has their own perspective, and I definitely understand the frustration.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: To me, like I said, I've learned. We've all learned
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: in our own way to kind of you know, channel
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: that and and figure out ways to get us excited
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and to go back and watch each game each week.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what we do. That's the cycle that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: we're in. All right, let's go to Albert he's in Tucson, Arizona.
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: Morney, Nick, how are you doing good?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: Not too shabby?
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: Not too shabby?
• 28:23
  Speaker 14: Of course, it's a good week. Cowboys, you know, pulled
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: it out. Wasn't pretty, but.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: Hey, it's the parody of the league.
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: Let's be honest, you know, I'd rather I'd rather us
• 28:39
  Speaker 14: win close ones or or not be as delusional as
• 28:45
  Speaker 14: people say that we are. You know, I'd rather be
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: real and be like, hey, you know what, my team's fighting,
• 28:51
  Speaker 14: My team's you know, my team's going at it. But
• 28:55
  Speaker 14: the question I got is, you know, Stephen Jones said
• 28:58
  Speaker 14: player acquisition is a be sixty five. I'm sorry at
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: twenty four to seven, three sixty five kind of thing
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: right with Mazzie Smith kind of you know, taking that
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: soft comment that people said about him to heart. You
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: can tell his play has gone up a little bit.
• 29:20
  Speaker 14: What is the need for us that you think the
• 29:24
  Speaker 14: weekend that there's a player out there that can make
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: that change, that Charles Hayley type of player that can
• 29:32
  Speaker 14: I mean, obviously we're going to need a defensive end, right,
• 29:37
  Speaker 14: but I think that's why we've drafted well and I
• 29:39
  Speaker 14: think we will be somewhat okay. But what player out
• 29:43
  Speaker 14: there or what position do you think it's a vital
• 29:46
  Speaker 14: for us moving forward? That's all I got. Thank you
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: so much. Let you guys and go Cowboys, all right?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you? What the position that's out there? I mean,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: there's really not a lot out there that there are
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: going to be you know that level. I mean, you're
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, you know, a different time obviously, thirty
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: two years ago when when Charles Haley was was there
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers just decided to you know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: part ways with him. They'd had enough and the Cowboys
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: made a trade and it worked. And you know, you
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and Jerry has done that. You know, he's gotten guys
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that other teams didn't want for for whatever the reason.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: You know, that's happened that several times. But I don't
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: know if that that guy is even there. The position
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: would be you know, a pass rusher or that that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: would be the position that would be one that that
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: would change what you're doing. You know, I guess it
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: could be a running back if you if you you know,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: got got one that was available. But those are the
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: two difference to making positions. I think that this team
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: would you know, would maybe consider bringing in. But I
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: still feel like in Jerry will talk tomorrow on the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: radio station one O five to three the fan, and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll say that you know, he's not looking
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to do that right now. But you know, we still
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: have a couple of weeks before the bye week, and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how this game goes. And he
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: also got to check with the nature of the injury,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: just how long these guys will be out. I mean,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I think with Tank he'll be out for a couple
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: of months maybe, But I think with nieland with Chauncey Golston,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: those kind of defensive ends, they should be Okay, there
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: no disrespect the Tank. I mean, he's a four time
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: pro bowler. I'm talking about having to replace them, but again,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: getting some juice around, you know, off the edge of
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: pass rusher, that's that's gonna be a huge challenge. All Right,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Travis and San Antonio.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Happy Monday to you and Chris.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Hopefully you having a good start to the day.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: How are you doing.
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: I'm doing good.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: Uh just I also want to say hopefully everyone can
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: work in the fingerwave today. Rest in Peace City, Kimbey.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: That was a I mean I knew I kind of knew,
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: you know, I knew of his diagnosis, but it always,
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: like you said, it always kind of hits you like all.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Of a sudden.
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: I didn't know.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know anything about that, honestly. Uh oh, yeah,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: what he was up to or I just hadn't heard that,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: but it.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: Was fairly recent.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: It was maybe maybe about a year ago that they
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: announced that he was dealing with it. Yeah, so that's
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: that's that's always that always sucks.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What a fun player he was, though, you know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and he really oh yeah, just good.
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: For the lead.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: A big he has no fun intended. He has a
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: big hand and part of the reason why the NBA
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: has girling so big, like overseas.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Right sure, sure, yeah, without a doubt. So all right,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: so what what do you got, man? I know what
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: you go for it. I know exactly what you're going
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: to say, go for it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: Come on, maybe, come on.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: So two of the things that I got, no, not
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: well and actually not I wasn't gonna say modi Smith,
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: but I will take the I was. I was extremely
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: proud to see that, and hopefully, like like I said,
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to sit here and say like, oh,
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: he's a pro bowler now, But I do hope that
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: we never know. We never know when stuff clicks for guys.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: And maybe maybe the last and one thing I can
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: think of, Nick is maybe the last two weeks, you know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: maybe it Scanina and zimmer Head conversations with you never know,
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: this is all speculation, right, but maybe they were like,
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: look like it's it's not good. We get you know,
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: get your button gear. And he played I don't know
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: if you saw, but one of the tackles, I was
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: a little worried they were gonna throw a flag. Is
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: when he was getting his hands up people. He was
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: being pretty violent.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's he played. He played violin. He was
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: not only tackling running backs but kind of you know,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: snatching him to the ground a little bit. I mean
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: like he played that like he like he hadn't like
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: like people were calling him a bust.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like like that's I said, like maybe like me know,
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: a challenge of or somebody. It was almost like he
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: was like he was real pissed off. So hopefully the
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: you know those buttons, they can keep those buttons pushed.
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: First round pick, your first round pick, and they trade
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: for Jordan Lewis, I mean sorry, Jordan Phillips and they
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and they draft are they pick up that? To live
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: at all? Joseph? I mean that that can't make you
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: feel good, you know, So what I it is, he's
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: got to he's got to do it more and more.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: But he played that game kind of like you you
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: would expect him to play.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: And I'll throw this in there too, because I heard
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: everyone saying, like, oh, the Giants line the center that
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: he was going against, isn't it it's John Michael Schmidt.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: It isn't a guy, and it was a highly rated guy.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: It wasn't a guy that like it was just some dude, right,
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: But that kind of leads me to my point. The
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: two biggest frustrating things. I know you mentioned this last
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: week maybe, but I'm gonna say it again, is like, man,
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: I don't necessarily care that they didn't sign him this offseason, Nick,
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: but man, I wish I don't know, it's revision is
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: history and we're playing in the past. But like, I
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: really think Henry could have helped last year before the
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: before the playoffs. I mean, he looked, he looks he
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: looks like he still has a lot of juice left.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: And I don't know, I can't remember the news name.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: But people are getting hurt, like tackling him, like hit
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: his squad, and I mean, obviously never want to see concussion,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: but he tried tackling him, hit his squad and got
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: a concussion. Taylor rap that's who it was, so like,
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's still at at peak Derrick Henry, So
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: that's unfortunate to see. And then my biggest mystery, Nick,
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: and I'll leave you with this is I want to
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: see what you think my biggest mystery with this team.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: I've mentioned it before, but like, is Salari in the scheme?
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Because Nick Allegretti, Tyler Biattish and Sam Cosmy is the
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: three interiors and they have Andrew Wiley and Brandon Coleman.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: I say those names because that's the Washington line. Nothing
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: you'd take, nothing special, a guy at the center that
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: we thought was and then two guards we don't really know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: maybe Samkzy. Some people know they went to Texas. But
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: they have the like fifth in the NFL and rushing
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: and I know part of that is they have the
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: quarterback Daniels that's probably helping them a little bit, which
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: maybe goes to we need to see a little bit
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: more of DA doing not similar type of stuff, but maybe
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: a couple more runs, which I wouldn't support.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: What's the point that you're making here though, though with the.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: Cowboys, it's that interior is nowhere close to our interior. Okay,
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: and I just don't understand how they're fifth in the
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: league and rushing and we've been struggling for we weren't
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: The scheme wasn't good last year, right, we were talking
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: about the scheme last year, and the schemerally has improved
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: this year. And I can't get myself to believe that
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: an interior three of BB who we think has played
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: pretty well. I know Zach's maybe regressed a little bit,
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: but it's so Zach Martin, right, that's what everyone would say.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: And Tyler Smith, you're telling me we're not going to
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: take those three over those three. It's just and I
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: can't understand. So it's either it's either they are not
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: executing at an extremely low level or the scheme is
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: just not fit for the players. I just want to
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: see what you think, because that's I saw that today
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: and that's eye opening. Fits in the NFL and worre
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: third to last. Yeah, something doesn't that here. So I
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: just want to see what you have A great week.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: Shout out to me.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Four games, Thank you, four games. You know that they've played,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: uh and and they've got to give them credit. There there, there,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: three and one Washington and they're you know, they're they're
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: playing with leads. They have a better running back than
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys have. Obviously they have two better running backs
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I think than the Cowboys have. Uh and then three
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: when you talk about their their quarter is running too.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: So I think you factor those things in. I don't
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: know if it's I know it's not. Just be honest,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: just road grading. That's not what he is. That's not
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the player that he is, and that's not the case.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: They're doing other things to it. But that's Washington. The
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Cowboys need to run the football better. And regardless of
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: all that, your point is valid. BB was in here
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: to do that. The two guards are supposed supposedly, you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: in that all pro level at least they were last year,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: so they've got to be running the ball. They're not.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't be last in the league. So that's that's
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the big problem there. Let's go to take a break

  Speaker 1: He's in New Jersey.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Nick, what's going on?
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: You I'm good brother, I'm good man. Happy Monday, Yeah, man?
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: You know, I just I got a couple of comments
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: and then just one question for you to see where
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: your head is with this. I learned a lot this weekend, Nick,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: I learned so much this weekend, so much that I
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: even like wrote notes, but you know, I know I'll
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: have time for that. So basically, you know what I
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: looked at, you know, the Baltimore Games taught me a lot.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Stiles make matchups and the two teams that beat us,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: looking at what they did to us and where we
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: are right now as two and two. There's a lot
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: of two and two teams right now that are essentially
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: in the same boat as us, and a lot of
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: teams are trying to figure things out. So Stiles make matchups.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm really really taken back by the Derek
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: and Henry opportunity that we had, and that's a sour taste,
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: and I'm glad for his success. It's just so hard
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: to watch because all I think of is Dallas having
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: him behind our line, helping us out right now and
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: making back an even better quarterback. But I woant to know, like,
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: you know, how do you feel about what happened this weekend?
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: And has it changed your view on the trajectory of
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: where our team could go this year? That's all I
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: wanted to know.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Now, all right, thank you. I watched you know, a
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: couple of games or you know, whatever they offers. I
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: don't have the NFL network or I mean the Sunday ticket.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I don't have that. I don't need it usually, but
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I so I only saw a few games. I saw
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: that Philadelphia I was getting beat pretty good. That's always fun.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's so so okay, So Philadelphia,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, like you're right, styles, styles make fights, and
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: so you know they it's and also you know, conditions
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: make make fights as well. Either way, Philadelphia is built.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I mean all all I kept hearing in the broadcast
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: was it like that game was played in the desert.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it sounded I mean, yet the
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: sideline reporter wearing a tank top. I mean, it's like
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: it was like felt like it was one hundred and thirty,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: like just by what they were saying. Those two big
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: guys in the middle for the Eagles, man, they weren't
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: obviously holding up, and Tampa did a great job of
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: That's my point that I you know, Kansas City is
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: four and oh. They look very beatable, but they're four
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: and oh, and that's good for them, and that's what
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: they do. They win games. That's I think what this
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: league is. You're you're right. The Ravens are two and two.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: They seem to have it all figured out at two
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and two. The Cowboys are two and two, and you
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: know what is this team? And they lost to the
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Ravens and it wasn't I guess it was close. It
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: didn't seem that close. But I'm just looking at the schedule,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and you know, Pittsburgh with their first loss, I just
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: think every game is going to be a challenge. And
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh losing probably hurts the Cowboys because at
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: four and oh, there'd be a lot lot more people
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: talking about them and their quarterback and what they are
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: and are they back and all this kind of stuff
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: and how great Tomlin is and he is great. I'm
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: not saying he's not, but you know, and then losing
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: on the road to Joe Flacco, It's like, all right,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and this is kind of where we thought Pittsburgh was.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: That game is. It's going to be intense that night
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: game there with the tiles, waven and all that. I mean,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: just all the his history Cowboys and Steelers, and that'll
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: come back and that will be a tough, tough matchup
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, especially with their defense struggling the way
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: it is. I think what I learned is that I
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: didn't learn anything, and that's that's That's what it'll be
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: for the next month. Probably. That's what's fun to me.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's fun. I mean, it'll who knows, who
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: knows what we have, you know, but I think that
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to look back at some point this season
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: and have There'll be certain games and you're like, wow,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: the Ravens lost at home to the Raiders like stuff
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: like that, and maybe it's the Saints. The Saints went
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: and did that to the Cowboys. I hope that's the thing.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: You know, that the Saints maybe aren't as good and
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: maybe the Cowboys are playing a lot better and just
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: have Sometimes you have these clunkers in week two week
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: three of the season that it's hard to explain. Go
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: back and look at some of the bad Cowboy teams.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Cowboys bad team in two thousand and two lost to
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: a Houston expansion team in week one. It came back
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: in week two, beat the Titans at home and played great.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: But sometimes week two is a little tricky. We're seeing
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: it so far this year. All right, let's go to
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Pastor Tolls in Montgomery, Alabama.
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: Pastor Tolls, Hey, how you doing? Man?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: How are you? Is this the first time call?
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: Well? After that I call you before. It's been a while.
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: It's just so hard sometimes to get in and be working.
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: Back went forward, So it's been a while since I
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: called back again. But anyway, you got it, You got
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: it man, all right, all right. I always think, you know,
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: I've been a cowboy for a minimum of the I'm
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: seeing from rug and stuff. The house had all the
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: Super Bowls. But anyway, everybody just gets so upset. The
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: Cowboys are doing fine. We'll be okay. We got a
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: great quarterback. As I always said, this guy will give
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: you everything he got. Reminds me of a ton of Rumo.
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: Even when Romo had bag back problems and everything, he
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: just give you everything he got. Now if everything is
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: not good enough, just just the way it is. But
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: I think on the offense, what we got to do
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: is just get it just a little bit more creative.
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: I just I just feel like Juice Bull hun and
• 44:31
  Speaker 8: the rest of them, they can do okay, but you
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: got to just run him in the right spots. All
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: the receivers can catch, but they got to understand that
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: some of the receivers has the IT factors. See, he
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: got to get factor. The rest of them just can catch.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: But I really do think young Man that we're not
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: playing Florida, right, I guess that's his name. I think
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: he got that it factor, and I think you need
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: to put him out there. That's just my opinion. But
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: every time I saw him in preseason, I'm saying, like, well,
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: wait a minute, I like that guy. And I think
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: he changed his number to number eighty, And I like
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: when we got an eighty eight or one side and
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: eighty on the other side. It just remind me of
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: the day. So I think we're gonna be I think
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: we're gonna be fine, and make sure that full it back.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: What's the day that we got lypty lymph kidd. Make
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: sure he get his hands on the ball a little
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: bit more in the offense, and I think we're gonna
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: be fine. Now far as the defense, I don't know
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: if it's any players we got out there cause we
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: got something that got hurt and stuff like that, but
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: I think we'll be fine. And everybody be be talking
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: about pushing us over the edge. We want to go
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: over the edge. But each time you get to the playoff,
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: if I'm not mistaken, you're only like three two to
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: three games our way from the super Bowl. So we've
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: been right there. Jill Jones Ben been doing a pretty
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: good job and getting us right there. So we just
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: need to take it over the top. And then you
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: got a quarterback. You got a quarterback that believe and
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: he got faith and he look that man's gonna give
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: you everything you got. Now we'll say this and I'm
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: gonna let you go. What Jared jo need need to
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: do with Dak Prescott, especially in this contract, if they
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: can go back and put this in his contract when
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: he's done finish playing here to make sure he don't
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: go nowhere stay right there on the sideline because we
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: should have kept a room on the side. I because
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: his brain nose. Football boy, if you could just make.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Sure that when back finished playing that he's.
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: A coach or quarterback coach or something, I think we'll
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: be double I think that'll be.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Double BOI all right, well, thank you for the call.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: He said a lot there. I don't know if you know,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: don't well listening to here nice Uh, I think that Romo,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: you know, you didn't want to be on the sidelines
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: even when he was hurt. He was wasn't really I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: mean that was kind of a knock on him. Great quarterback,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: great commentator. I don't know how quarterback coach he would be. Uh,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: you know, that was kind of a different time for him.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of people that think, oh,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Romo was helping Dak in his rookie year. That really
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: didn't happen a whole lot. But and Dak's different, his
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: leadership is different. Maybe maybe that will be the case.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: You said it several times. That gives you, you know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: all that he has. I mean, well, I think Jerry
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: paid him about all that he had too, So like
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: that that doesn't really work anymore. Like the whole like, well,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: he's going to give you everything he's got. It's got
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: to be it's got to be at a top level.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be an elite level because
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: that's what you're paying for. That's what you expect. You're
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: not paying him because he's the NFL Man of the
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Year and he's been a really good guy, and he's
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: great in the community and he's been pretty good and
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: all that. You're paying that kind of contract because you
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: think he will be one of the elite quarterbacks still
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: in the next five years. And that's that's where he's
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: got to be. And so that means he's got to
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: take over when when you don't have a running game,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: and he takes over when your receivers are you know,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: average or whatever. I know CD's not average. I'm just
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: saying the whole group, you've got to raise the game
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: of other players. That's what a sixty million dollar quarterback
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: has got to be. Is that when when they're down
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: by four Sunday night against the Steelers, twenty four to twenty,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: back on their own nine yard line with no timeouts
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: and three minutes to go, he's got to go ninety
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: one yards or whatever, ninety yards down the field and score,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown. Figure it out. That's what she's got,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: that's what you have to do. You have to be
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: that type of guy. And uh I think that can
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: be that that kind of guy, and then the Cowboys
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: believe it too. So he needs to give it everything
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: he's got, and he needs to do it for the
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: next five years. And it's got to be good enough.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: All right, good good stuff, guys, ten calls. We've got
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: some first time callers, We've got got some of the
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: old g's that call good stuff. For sure. We'll be
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: back tomorrow to talk about more and talk about the
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Steelers and talk about where this team is on Cowboy storyline.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: So for Chris Beam'm Nickieman will see it Cowboy storyline.
• 49:01
