- 1:29Speaker 1: How are you?
- 1:31Speaker 5: I'm good. We held them to less than thirty this
- 1:33Speaker 5: past week, so we're getting better. Okay, problems, baby steps. Okay,
- 1:39Speaker 5: I got a trivia question for you this week. All right, Okay.
- 1:43Speaker 5: One of my favorite players growing up was Tony dor
- 1:45Speaker 5: Set me too, Yes, okay, So Tony dor Sets last
- 1:51Speaker 5: rushing touchdown as a Dallas Cowboy came at Texas Stadium
- 1:54Speaker 5: against the Philadelphia Eagles. There was something very unique about
- 1:58Speaker 5: that game. Could you tell me what it was?
- 2:00Speaker 6: Us?
- 2:01Speaker 1: It was a strike game. He was he crossed the
- 2:04Speaker 1: picket line.
- 2:05Speaker 5: Yeah, he was kind of forced, if you remember, he
- 2:07Speaker 5: was kind of forced across the picket line by Tech
- 2:10Speaker 5: shrim and Landry put those guys in just to get
- 2:12Speaker 5: him some work.
- 2:13Speaker 1: And he was booed when he got the ball.
- 2:18Speaker 6: He was.
- 2:19Speaker 5: I was a sophomore in high school during that strike
- 2:22Speaker 5: here that that was a fun time to be a
- 2:24Speaker 5: football fan. Do you remember the Ryanstone Cowboys that the
- 2:27Speaker 5: replacement guys were more popular than the real team.
- 2:30Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a weird Again, I was younger. I
- 2:33Speaker 4: didn't cover it, but I know Mickey tells a lot
- 2:35Speaker 4: of good stories about it. How how there was a
- 2:38Speaker 4: player that was played for the Jets. He was like
- 2:41Speaker 4: from Rutgers and they played after Jets and he like
- 2:45Speaker 4: gave his mom, like his mom gave him his laundry,
- 2:48Speaker 4: like he had given it to him before the game,
- 2:50Speaker 4: and then after the game she said, here's your laundry
- 2:52Speaker 4: because he couldn't do it. I mean, it was just
- 2:53Speaker 4: like weird, weird stuff like that. These guys are just
- 2:56Speaker 4: all of a sudden playing in the NFL and then
- 2:57Speaker 4: all of a sudden not so.
- 3:00Speaker 5: The funniest thing about the strike here was the banners
- 3:02Speaker 5: at Texas Stadium. We don't do banners anymore. I wish
- 3:05Speaker 5: we would do that again, but at Texas Stadium that
- 3:08Speaker 5: said white Saweenie, we want Sweeney.
- 3:11Speaker 7: I even will.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Forget those, but anyway, that just shows you how smart
- 3:13Speaker 5: we are as fans to thank Kevin Sweeney could have
- 3:15Speaker 5: been a starting quarterbright. But I got a scenario for
- 3:19Speaker 5: you for the current Cowboys, and just hear me out
- 3:22Speaker 5: and then I'll listen to your thoughts. Probably going to
- 3:26Speaker 5: have a new head coach next year. I hope things
- 3:28Speaker 5: turn around and we have some storybook ending, but that
- 3:31Speaker 5: doesn't look very feasible right now. So I was looking
- 3:35Speaker 5: back at the coaches Jerry's had. He likes to hire
- 3:38Speaker 5: people that he knows. The only two coaches that's ever
- 3:42Speaker 5: won Super Bowls for Jerry were both college head coaches
- 3:45Speaker 5: with no pro coaching experience. They were both overseer type coaches,
- 3:50Speaker 5: not coordinators, kind of big personality guys. Now, I know
- 3:56Speaker 5: that this individual has stated more than once he has
- 3:59Speaker 5: no are to coach in the NFL, but things can
- 4:02Speaker 5: certainly change given the right opportunity. Think about Dion Sanders.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Oh, thank you? All right? Did we just skeet cut
- 4:12Speaker 1: off run high?
- 4:14Speaker 5: He needs a home run higher and needs somebody can
- 4:18Speaker 5: relate to the players. I'm just throwing that out there.
- 4:20Speaker 5: I don't think that'll I don't know if that'll happen,
- 4:22Speaker 5: but I'm just throwing that out there. I would like
- 4:25Speaker 5: your thoughts on Matt and thanks for taking my call.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Yeah, you know again, when it's time to talk about
- 4:34Speaker 4: a new head coach, I think we'll talk about a
- 4:37Speaker 4: new head coach. And I hope you can respect that
- 4:40Speaker 4: there's a head coach over here who's trying to get
- 4:42Speaker 4: this thing turned around and beat the Eagles. So I'm
- 4:45Speaker 4: not going to talk about another coach that's also has
- 4:48Speaker 4: a job and all that kind of stuff. I don't
- 4:51Speaker 4: think it's a good idea to talk about that that stuff.
- 4:53Speaker 4: It's just not We're just not there. I'm sorry. I
- 4:56Speaker 4: got what nine football games to play, and and that's
- 5:00Speaker 4: the thing we talked about this the other day.
- 5:02Speaker 1: You guys look ahead.
- 5:03Speaker 4: That's fine, and that maybe maybe this is one for
- 5:06Speaker 4: the storyline community, the spaces. Y'all can do that. Y'all
- 5:09Speaker 4: have the ability to do that. We do this show
- 5:11Speaker 4: like this. That's to me, it's you couldn't be more
- 5:16Speaker 4: disrespectful to a group of people that are trying, you know,
- 5:19Speaker 4: trying to figure this out. And and I understand that
- 5:22Speaker 4: you don't like the results and the results aren't there
- 5:24Speaker 4: and they're not doing it and it's dead man walking,
- 5:26Speaker 4: is what you guys like to say. But but that's
- 5:29Speaker 4: not the case. That's not the case. They're trying to
- 5:31Speaker 4: get this thing turned around. I'm not going to talk
- 5:32Speaker 4: about another possibility for for a coach, so that that's
- 5:38Speaker 4: just you know, everybody has a job. From that standpoint,
- 5:40Speaker 4: I don't think that's what we can do to move on. Sorry,
- 5:43Speaker 4: we can't talk about that and that norm should we
- 5:45Speaker 4: in my opinion. Jeremy in Salt Lake City, Utah.
- 5:48Speaker 8: Jeremy, Hey, Nick, how's it going, man?
- 5:52Speaker 1: Good? How are you good?
- 5:54Speaker 8: Greetings from the Gray White North. All right, you know,
- 6:00Speaker 8: I just obviously this has been a disappointing season with
- 6:04Speaker 8: Cowboys fans, and you know, especially where we've been kind
- 6:07Speaker 8: of having my hopes for the last three years. You know,
- 6:11Speaker 8: I think our best team in that window was the
- 6:15Speaker 8: twenty twenty one team. I kind of want your opinion
- 6:17Speaker 8: on that. But the other thing is, you know, for me,
- 6:22Speaker 8: the rest of the year is let's beat the Eagles.
- 6:25Speaker 9: Man.
- 6:26Speaker 8: I you know, if we lose out and and win
- 6:31Speaker 8: those two games, you know what I mean. I mean,
- 6:34Speaker 8: I won't be happy. But at the same time, you know,
- 6:38Speaker 8: Sirianni tried to give that game away last week. I
- 6:41Speaker 8: don't know if you watched any of the last quarter
- 6:44Speaker 8: of that game, but it joked the way he managed
- 6:47Speaker 8: the clock, and I think I don't think it would
- 6:50Speaker 8: be You know, Nick, You've always talked about these certain
- 6:56Speaker 8: type of games that these Cowboys teams wins. It always
- 7:01Speaker 8: seems like when we have absolutely zero to cheer for
- 7:06Speaker 8: or or a reason to think we're gonna win, we
- 7:09Speaker 8: win those types of games. I think, and I kind
- 7:12Speaker 8: of feel like this week could be one of those weeks.
- 7:16Speaker 8: You know, Cooper Rush, you know, has performed well, and
- 7:21Speaker 8: I just you know, it can't be all doom and
- 7:23Speaker 8: gloom because we steal. Like you said, We've still got
- 7:25Speaker 8: nine games left. I'm still gonna be cheering for him
- 7:29Speaker 8: next year. Yeah, you know, it's not like any of
- 7:31Speaker 8: us are gonna switch teams or anything like that. Yeah,
- 7:35Speaker 8: it sucks to be kind of on the bottom, but
- 7:37Speaker 8: it's just a pendulum swing in one way. And you
- 7:40Speaker 8: know other things from Cowboys fans look forward to. You know,
- 7:44Speaker 8: the Niners are gonna have to pay Rock Party next year.
- 7:47Speaker 8: You know, the Eagles have some big contracts coming up due.
- 7:51Speaker 8: You know, it ain't all just us, right, Yeah, So
- 7:55Speaker 8: I don't know, just sit back, dip your tea whatever,
- 7:59Speaker 8: Let's see what we can do it the rest of
- 8:00Speaker 8: the season, and uh, you know, go Cowboys.
- 8:04Speaker 4: All right, thanks Jeremy. I appreciate that. You're right, it's
- 8:08Speaker 4: all it's all you can do. And I agree with you,
- 8:10Speaker 4: you know, like I don't think that it's just the
- 8:15Speaker 4: way the NFL goes this year, like area every year.
- 8:18Speaker 4: I mean, I just don't believe that the Cowboys are
- 8:21Speaker 4: going to like lose every game. I mean, I just
- 8:25Speaker 4: look at how they're playing. These games were tight. Even
- 8:29Speaker 4: when they look like a blowout, they're still tight. They
- 8:31Speaker 4: still teams come back, they do that kind of stuff.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I do think the Cowboys are gonna get some help.
- 8:37Speaker 4: They're going to get some better players coming in here,
- 8:39Speaker 4: some really good ones, you know, like that that that
- 8:41Speaker 4: should help on a lot of cases. And and I
- 8:45Speaker 4: think that, you know, I think they're gonna they'll win
- 8:47Speaker 4: some games. They they'll surprise some I don't know if
- 8:50Speaker 4: if they can get this thing back and get on
- 8:52Speaker 4: the run, I just it doesn't seem it doesn't seem
- 8:57Speaker 4: likely when when you consider, you know, all of the
- 9:01Speaker 4: injuries that they've had and now they're coming back and
- 9:03Speaker 4: then DAC's out and we'll see, I mean, Cooper Rush.
- 9:06Speaker 4: For me though, I think they'll be competitive. I think
- 9:08Speaker 4: they'll they'll sneak and win a few games here and there.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Uh and and from me, that's a good thing. I'm
- 9:14Speaker 4: not one that's like, don't you know, don't mess up
- 9:17Speaker 4: the draft or just just play. That's the way I feel.
- 9:20Speaker 4: At least Michael and Bowling Green Kentucky's next.
- 9:24Speaker 10: Hey, the glass is three quarters full. I didn't get
- 9:28Speaker 10: much I didn't get much sleep last night's raining, but
- 9:31Speaker 10: it's a beautiful day. I am always I believe that
- 9:37Speaker 10: the the three and five is the best Cowboys three
- 9:42Speaker 10: and five in the league. And I'm gonna I'm gonna
- 9:45Speaker 10: go with what brought to said yesterday. He believes this
- 9:49Speaker 10: mingo guy, he just hasn't came into his own because
- 9:52Speaker 10: a bad quarterback play. So now with he's with Dallas
- 9:58Speaker 10: Cooper Rush, and I think it's gonna be good with
- 10:00Speaker 10: him dat when he comes back. I think, uh, Trey
- 10:05Speaker 10: Lance is going to get some playing a little bit
- 10:07Speaker 10: of playing time off the bench. They're gonna beat the
- 10:10Speaker 10: Eagles and we'll see from there. That all right my opinion?
- 10:13Speaker 10: What do you think?
- 10:14Speaker 4: Well, thanks for the call is what I think. For that,
- 10:18Speaker 4: I appreciate the the the you know, optimistic view. Again
- 10:23Speaker 4: and again. You don't have to have optimistic interview. I mean,
- 10:27Speaker 4: you don't have to be I don't think, you know,
- 10:30Speaker 4: I think this this team is gonna struggle, like I mean,
- 10:33Speaker 4: you know, making the playoffs doesn't seem likely at all
- 10:36Speaker 4: at this point.
- 10:37Speaker 1: So I get it.
- 10:37Speaker 4: I mean, you don't have to come up here and
- 10:38Speaker 4: say it's gonna be great this and don't worry about it.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Now. I see it.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Everyone sees it. But but you know, like like let's
- 10:46Speaker 4: let's keep it for what it is. It's it's Philadelphia
- 10:49Speaker 4: this week. Philadelphia tried to lose to the Jaguars last week.
- 10:52Speaker 4: I mean they might have They're gonna have their attention
- 10:54Speaker 4: a lot more on the Cowboys or on this game.
- 10:57Speaker 1: I get it.
- 10:57Speaker 4: They're they're playing better football. They won four in a row.
- 11:01Speaker 4: You know, Cowboys have lost three in row. They're obviously
- 11:03Speaker 4: going to different directions. Hurts is not hurt. Cowboys quarterback
- 11:06Speaker 4: is hurt. We'll see what Cooper Rush does. As for Mingo,
- 11:10Speaker 4: you know, I went and just looked at some of
- 11:12Speaker 4: his college tape and I understand that that's you know,
- 11:15Speaker 4: he's had played in the NFL, and everyone has good
- 11:18Speaker 4: college tape. If you're a second round pick, you have
- 11:19Speaker 4: good college tape. I just was looking to see what
- 11:22Speaker 4: what when he when the Cowboys really liked him?
- 11:26Speaker 1: What did he show?
- 11:26Speaker 3: What?
- 11:26Speaker 8: What?
- 11:27Speaker 1: What kind of player was he?
- 11:28Speaker 11: And?
- 11:29Speaker 4: Uh, what I liked about the highlights that I saw
- 11:33Speaker 4: was just a lot of a lot of different routes
- 11:36Speaker 4: that he was running that he was effective on. He
- 11:39Speaker 4: was going deep, he had he'd beat you know, the
- 11:42Speaker 4: safety and the corner deep deep ball touchdown. He went
- 11:45Speaker 4: up and over you know Randy Moss people.
- 11:48Speaker 1: He did that.
- 11:49Speaker 4: He caught bubble screens. He made some moves there over
- 11:52Speaker 4: the middle. So he looks like a possession type of receiver. Uh,
- 11:57Speaker 4: you know, a big, strong guy like that. And I
- 12:00Speaker 4: I do think you know that that they liked they
- 12:03Speaker 4: liked him coming out of college. I don't hate this
- 12:07Speaker 4: move at all. I don't love it because you know,
- 12:11Speaker 4: we'll see, but I don't hate it, and I understand.
- 12:16Speaker 4: I understand what they're thinking and in a lot of
- 12:20Speaker 4: ways there.
- 12:21Speaker 1: But what we'll see.
- 12:22Speaker 4: My only time will tell is if he can develop,
- 12:25Speaker 4: he's got it to keep developing as a player. If
- 12:27Speaker 4: he does that and develops that, then it will be
- 12:30Speaker 4: a good pick. If you can get a second round
- 12:32Speaker 4: player for a fourth round pick, that's a good pick.
- 12:35Speaker 4: If you don't if he if he doesn't, if he
- 12:37Speaker 4: doesn't pan out at all, then it's then it's not
- 12:40Speaker 4: a good fourth round pick. And just go look at
- 12:42Speaker 4: the list of fourth rounders. There's some good ones, No
- 12:45Speaker 4: doubt you got great value. When you look at Dak,
- 12:48Speaker 4: You look at Dalton Schultz, you look at Tony Pollard. Uh,
- 12:51Speaker 4: you look at Dorin's Armstrong. I mean, yes, you've got
- 12:55Speaker 4: some guys that they even put the franchise tag on
- 12:57Speaker 4: for these fourth round picks. Go look at some other
- 13:00Speaker 4: ones though, you know. So that's that's the thing. I mean,
- 13:03Speaker 4: when you give a fourth round pick, everyone's thinking, oh
- 13:05Speaker 4: my god, you had a chance to pick a guy
- 13:07Speaker 4: like Schulter, Pollard or Dak. There's a there's a Foko,
- 13:12Speaker 4: there there's a Tapper, there's Reggie Robinson, there's you can
- 13:16Speaker 4: go both ways on those fourth round picks. All right,
- 13:18Speaker 4: let's go to uh Cowboys. Yeah, he's in Maryland, Mountain Air, Maryland.
- 13:28Speaker 12: Thanks for taking call. Hey, first question, you got tired.
- 13:31Speaker 12: That's my dream job, move down there, retire down there,
- 13:34Speaker 12: work for the Dallas Cowboys. So I should have asked
- 13:36Speaker 12: Chris that before he put me on hold. But I
- 13:40Speaker 12: just wanted to say how much I appreciated your take
- 13:44Speaker 12: because I'm the exact same way. I'm like one game
- 13:47Speaker 12: at a time. I'm not ready to fire anyone. I'm
- 13:49Speaker 12: not ready to get it, give up on second round,
- 13:52Speaker 12: you know, on second year draft choices. I'm just like,
- 13:57Speaker 12: damn the Torpedoes, full speed ahead, and whether they win
- 14:03Speaker 12: or lose, i M still love him. So that's that's
- 14:05Speaker 12: my thing. And the question I had, like, you told
- 14:09Speaker 12: the story about Tony Romo playing being your quarterback in
- 14:15Speaker 12: flag football, and you told the story about Tony Romo
- 14:19Speaker 12: caddying for him. That must have been awesome. I've caddying
- 14:22Speaker 12: for people before. Now I'd like to hear the story now.
- 14:26Speaker 12: I could be totally wrong about this. I think one
- 14:28Speaker 12: time after a game, Tony Romo hurts so bad that
- 14:31Speaker 12: after the press conference he said, hey, Nick, can you
- 14:34Speaker 12: help me get off this stage here?
- 14:36Speaker 9: And you you gave him.
- 14:37Speaker 12: A little booze to help him walk off the stage.
- 14:40Speaker 12: Is that totally wronger.
- 14:42Speaker 4: No, that's that's accurate. That's accurate. I mean, you could
- 14:45Speaker 4: you can google that. The thing about it is when
- 14:49Speaker 4: I don't love that clip. For some reason, I was
- 14:51Speaker 4: going through a year I just went my hair was long.
- 14:54Speaker 4: I had really long hair, and uh yeah, not really
- 14:58Speaker 4: long hair.
- 14:59Speaker 12: But yeah, was it against Washington and it was on
- 15:02Speaker 12: their field and it was so crappy. He stepped wrong
- 15:04Speaker 12: and messing back up.
- 15:06Speaker 4: It was San Francisco. Was the game that he got hurt.
- 15:08Speaker 4: In San Francisco. That was the game where he got hurt.
- 15:12Speaker 4: He like punctured lung right and comes back, throws the
- 15:16Speaker 4: ball to Jesse Holly. Holly goes to the one. They
- 15:19Speaker 4: kick it and they win in overtime. Back in twenty eleven.
- 15:22Speaker 12: And oh wow, okay, okay.
- 15:24Speaker 4: And so he he got he stepped up on the podium,
- 15:28Speaker 4: but the podium was higher than he thought coming down,
- 15:31Speaker 4: and he just kind of gave me this look. He
- 15:33Speaker 4: didn't say anything. He just gave me a look. And
- 15:35Speaker 4: I was standing right there. I could tell he needed
- 15:36Speaker 4: a little something, and yeah, I just kind of gave
- 15:40Speaker 4: him a little shoulder.
- 15:41Speaker 12: So that's awesome, man, that's fantastic way to go that's
- 15:46Speaker 12: going to bab and beyond.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Really isn't you know? It really is helping someone off
- 15:51Speaker 4: the stage. Whatever, It's all good, all right, cowboy Jeff
- 15:54Speaker 4: appreciate that.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. It's kind of tough to hear,
- 15:58Speaker 1: but not bad. Yeah.
- 16:00Speaker 4: Well, I got a few Romo memories. I guess Romo stories, uh,
- 16:05Speaker 4: I guess that's really that's really all of them though,
- 16:08Speaker 4: when you think about it. We played flag football on
- 16:10Speaker 4: the same team for a few games and we I
- 16:13Speaker 4: had to caddy for him once just started because I
- 16:16Speaker 4: was there and the same thing with.
- 16:18Speaker 1: The you know, just coming off the stage. I was.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I was just there.
- 16:21Speaker 4: That's it, all right. Let's go to Carolina in South Carolina.
- 16:25Speaker 4: It's up Carolina.
- 16:27Speaker 13: What's going on there?
- 16:28Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 16:31Speaker 13: Come on, man, trying to trying to, trying to, you know,
- 16:34Speaker 13: suck it up. Hey, it's time to play the egoos man,
- 16:37Speaker 13: you know, can't win them all right.
- 16:40Speaker 4: What are the what are they saying in Carolina about
- 16:42Speaker 4: old Jonathan Mingo?
- 16:44Speaker 13: Oh? Man, you don't want to know. I ain't heard
- 16:50Speaker 13: a lot of great things. Everybody keeps saying, who is
- 16:53Speaker 13: this guy? That's what they're saying. Yeah, But I got
- 16:58Speaker 13: a couple of questions for you today. Man, if we're
- 17:00Speaker 13: gonna beat the Eagles, right outside of Cooper rus, who
- 17:03Speaker 13: do you think has to have a breakout game if
- 17:06Speaker 13: we're gonna win?
- 17:08Speaker 8: Well?
- 17:08Speaker 4: One, okay, I mean, considering that he hasn't played in
- 17:13Speaker 4: a month and a half. If Michael Parsons plays, can
- 17:16Speaker 4: he count as a breakout player?
- 17:18Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 17:19Speaker 13: Of course, of course, because.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Not only that, it would be a breakout performance if
- 17:23Speaker 4: he played well against the Eagles. He really hasn't had
- 17:26Speaker 4: strong games against the Eagles. They've kind of figured him
- 17:30Speaker 4: out a little bit. We'll see if Kellen Moore's got
- 17:32Speaker 4: something for him, but whether they need some passwords for sure,
- 17:36Speaker 4: and if Michael Parsons plays, definitely it's gotta be him, Okay.
- 17:42Speaker 13: And I would think the same thing. My next question
- 17:45Speaker 13: for you is do you see us leaving this season
- 17:49Speaker 13: over five hundred?
- 17:52Speaker 1: Uh?
- 17:54Speaker 4: I don't see that from being real honest, but uh,
- 17:58Speaker 4: there whether three and five you gotta get to, you'd
- 18:02Speaker 4: be nine. You'd have to go six and three now,
- 18:07Speaker 4: six and six and yeah, six and three.
- 18:10Speaker 1: And the next nine games. Yeah, uh to get to
- 18:14Speaker 1: nine and eight, We've.
- 18:16Speaker 13: Got some rough games coming. It's a little far fenced.
- 18:21Speaker 13: But like you said a few weeks ago, man, just
- 18:25Speaker 13: when you think that, oh man, we're going down. Yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 13: this is gonna be a complete, you know, mess, then
- 18:31Speaker 13: out of nowhere you're like, wait where was this at
- 18:34Speaker 13: a couple of weeks ago, I think that it's I mean,
- 18:37Speaker 13: we don't have the best team in the best office
- 18:39Speaker 13: line of bus before line, but we could have won
- 18:42Speaker 13: a couple of them games, just like the forty nine game.
- 18:44Speaker 13: It's just the mental mistakes and the eras. It's really
- 18:48Speaker 13: close on this.
- 18:48Speaker 4: Yeah, here's yeah, go ahead, keep going, keep going.
- 18:53Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 18:53Speaker 13: I just I don't know. I just got that feeling like, well,
- 18:56Speaker 13: maybe if we could just clean up some of these
- 18:57Speaker 13: mental mistakes and eras, maybe we could at least be
- 19:01Speaker 13: a five hundred team at least. I'm not gonna go
- 19:04Speaker 13: out and say, oh man, we're gonna be five and twelve.
- 19:08Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying. It has to be a
- 19:11Speaker 13: higher seal than that, man, I mean it has.
- 19:14Speaker 4: All right, Well, I appreciate it, and good, good question here.
- 19:17Speaker 4: This is what I will say. Looking at the schedule,
- 19:22Speaker 4: and yeah, anything can can happen. If the Cowboys next
- 19:26Speaker 4: three games. Look, just look at it in groups of three, Okay,
- 19:29Speaker 4: because there's nine games left. Let's look at groups of
- 19:31Speaker 4: three here. If the second set of three was next
- 19:37Speaker 4: instead of what they have, I would feel better about
- 19:41Speaker 4: what their record could be. And I know you could say, well,
- 19:44Speaker 4: you got to play them all, but the difference is
- 19:47Speaker 4: they got to play coming up Philly, Houston, Washington. Okay,
- 19:51Speaker 4: those three three tough teams. They all want to beat
- 19:55Speaker 4: the crap out of the Cowboys in their own way.
- 19:57Speaker 4: Philly Houston, of course does Dan Quinn and those twenty
- 20:02Speaker 4: two players for the Washington, They're all gonna want to
- 20:04Speaker 4: just beat the Cowboys as much as possible. Those three
- 20:07Speaker 4: games are gonna be tough, regardless that they don't that noble'shail.
- 20:10Speaker 4: I'm sorry for the Cowboys. Those three games are going
- 20:12Speaker 4: to be tough. After that, you get the Giants and
- 20:14Speaker 4: the Bengals in at Carolina. If those were flipped, I'd
- 20:18Speaker 4: feel much better about it because I think if the Cowboys,
- 20:21Speaker 4: you know, the quicker you can get things turned around.
- 20:24Speaker 4: Then the more you keep playing, you keep stay engaged,
- 20:27Speaker 4: you keep fighting and fighting and doing different things, tweaking
- 20:30Speaker 4: and all that. Guys come back from injury and all that.
- 20:33Speaker 4: If these next three games don't go well, I think
- 20:36Speaker 4: it'll be even harder for the for that middle pack.
- 20:39Speaker 4: If that, hopefully that makes some kind of sense, I'm
- 20:41Speaker 4: gonna have to take a break here on Cowboys story.
- 20:43Speaker 1: I want to be right back to answer some more calls.

- 23:09Speaker 1: It is, okay, But David sergeant, So.
- 23:13Speaker 5: There you go.
- 23:14Speaker 15: No worries, No worries. But yeah, man, I haven't been
- 23:16Speaker 15: able to call for a while. Work's been a little
- 23:17Speaker 15: bit busy. A podcast about that. But there's a lot
- 23:19Speaker 15: of stuff that I could that I can't touch on.
- 23:21Speaker 15: But I don't want to go back in time. What
- 23:23Speaker 15: I do want to talk about is the team that
- 23:25Speaker 15: we got now, the players that we have now. And
- 23:27Speaker 15: you know, I've sat through way worse seasons before. I've
- 23:30Speaker 15: seen way worse teams before. And the passion and the
- 23:33Speaker 15: love that I have to this team never left and
- 23:35Speaker 15: it's not going to leave now. I don't care who's playing,
- 23:37Speaker 15: I don't care who's setting suiting up. I want to
- 23:39Speaker 15: see some good football. I want to see people go
- 23:41Speaker 15: out there and really really try, and I'm excited. I've
- 23:43Speaker 15: heard Travis talk about maybe getting Trey Lance and snaps.
- 23:45Speaker 15: I've heard they don't talk about letting uh Deuce Vonn
- 23:48Speaker 15: get in there. Let's just get loose, you know, And
- 23:50Speaker 15: I'm and I'm all for that. I just want to
- 23:51Speaker 15: see my team go out there. You don't stop loving
- 23:53Speaker 15: just because they're not that good. You don't stop loving
- 23:55Speaker 15: or stop paying just because they let you down. I
- 23:57Speaker 15: can't control what the owner does, can't control with the
- 24:00Speaker 15: which does. None of that stuff. I'm just gonna sit
- 24:01Speaker 15: back and enjoy. I've been deployed before. I've had to
- 24:03Speaker 15: miss a lot of games. I've had to watch a
- 24:05Speaker 15: lot of games be a skype, you know what I mean.
- 24:07Speaker 17: So I'm just.
- 24:08Speaker 15: Appreciative that I get to see it.
- 24:09Speaker 9: So I don't really have a question or anything.
- 24:11Speaker 15: Man, I wanted to share a little bit a little
- 24:12Speaker 15: bit of a perspective. I know a lot of people
- 24:14Speaker 15: kind of feel like a little bit negative about the team.
- 24:16Speaker 15: But hey, man, the the Dallas Cowboys, we love them
- 24:18Speaker 15: so much. We're gonna continue to watch and I'm just
- 24:20Speaker 15: super excited. Brother, That's all I got.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Man, Well, thank you for the call. For sure.
- 24:26Speaker 4: We're not going to have a better call today than that.
- 24:28Speaker 4: In my opinion, doesn't mean don't you know, keep calling
- 24:33Speaker 4: or whatever. Please got the phone line open, please call in.
- 24:36Speaker 4: But I appreciate the perspective. I appreciate first of all,
- 24:40Speaker 4: anybody in the military doing what they do. It's a
- 24:44Speaker 4: it's different, you know, obviously when when you're talking about
- 24:46Speaker 4: like what's important, priorities and all that, and I understand
- 24:49Speaker 4: that the Cowboys and or any whatever it is. You know,
- 24:51Speaker 4: you got to have things to kind of keep your
- 24:55Speaker 4: mind off of things. And I've heard so many times
- 24:57Speaker 4: that this show does that, and I'm very appreciative and
- 25:00Speaker 4: proud that we're able to do that. Yeah, you know,
- 25:04Speaker 4: you can look at seasons differently and kind of you know,
- 25:07Speaker 4: have a different perspective. They're they're a little bit you know,
- 25:11Speaker 4: it's less pressure, you know, just let's go see what happens.
- 25:14Speaker 4: Let's go watch it. You know, the Cowboys are any
- 25:18Speaker 4: team when it's your team. But let's just say this,
- 25:20Speaker 4: this is the show that the Cowboys they're they're your family.
- 25:25Speaker 4: That I've said it a thousand times. I'll say it again.
- 25:27Speaker 4: You don't you don't choose to be a Cowboy fan.
- 25:29Speaker 4: You know it chooses you. You've heard that speech. But
- 25:32Speaker 4: the Cowboys are your family. You get mad at your family,
- 25:35Speaker 4: get mad at your brother, your mom, dad, kids, they're
- 25:40Speaker 4: your family and they ain't going anywhere. You still love them.
- 25:44Speaker 4: Upset with them, Yeah, go to your room whatever. When
- 25:48Speaker 4: you come back, you come back Sunday at three o'clock.
- 25:51Speaker 4: That's when you come back. Come back Sunday at three
- 25:53Speaker 4: o'clock with a better attitude. We're gonna go play the Eagles.
- 25:55Speaker 1: That's what happens. Happens every week. I'm not saying put
- 25:59Speaker 1: your kid in the room till Sunday.
- 26:00Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you know what, you know, when it's
- 26:02Speaker 4: time to when it's time to come back, comes back
- 26:04Speaker 4: and every week that's what happens. Cowboys your family. All right,
- 26:08Speaker 4: let's go to is it Chuck d Our next caller?
- 26:11Speaker 4: I lost the air, Chuck d yep, Nick, Hey.
- 26:14Speaker 18: Chuck, Hey, Uh, speaking of being upset, if I wanted
- 26:20Speaker 18: to beat somebody's gonna be the Eagles. So I've heard
- 26:22Speaker 18: people say here Yan, he's got the most punishable face.
- 26:27Speaker 6: Pass at that statement.
- 26:28Speaker 2: I can't stand that, dude.
- 26:30Speaker 6: Yeah, but uh, I just hope we win. I know
- 26:34Speaker 6: it's been rough, but hey, we can beat him at
- 26:36Speaker 6: three o'clock. That'd make for really good Sunday.
- 26:39Speaker 18: Give us a little hope.
- 26:41Speaker 6: And Uh, another thing I was gonna bring up, when
- 26:45Speaker 6: do you think maybe you can get Woody back on?
- 26:47Speaker 6: Because I sure would like to call in and ask
- 26:50Speaker 6: him a question, but yet today.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Let's do that. It's a good idea.
- 26:54Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him a I'm gonna give him a
- 26:56Speaker 4: call and see see see what he thinks about coming
- 27:00Speaker 4: on the show. I like to get his perspective on that.
- 27:02Speaker 4: You know, he's played, Thanks for the call, Chuck. He's played.
- 27:05Speaker 4: He played so many years that you know, he he
- 27:07Speaker 4: played through uh great seasons. He had some like this too,
- 27:11Speaker 4: where you know, we're just trying to fight your way
- 27:14Speaker 4: back up and a lot of injuries and searching for
- 27:18Speaker 4: answers and and that kind of stuff. And and I
- 27:20Speaker 4: think what I'd love to ask him, is how you
- 27:22Speaker 4: know how the team stays positive every week trying to
- 27:27Speaker 4: figure out ways that you know, what, what are they
- 27:29Speaker 4: playing for? So now, he was never one that that
- 27:35Speaker 4: that you had to worry about. But you know, as
- 27:37Speaker 4: as a leader, though, you got to get you got
- 27:39Speaker 4: to get the whole team thinking in the same way.
- 27:41Speaker 4: All right, Rick in Massachusetts, it's next. How's it going?
- 27:46Speaker 17: That's going?
- 27:47Speaker 7: All right?
- 27:47Speaker 1: All right?
- 27:49Speaker 17: You know I'll go to the good spirits. I'm want
- 27:53Speaker 17: to start doing a few other people have talked about,
- 27:56Speaker 17: take it one week at a time, enjoy the game.
- 27:58Speaker 17: If we win, we want. I don't be dope, but
- 28:01Speaker 17: prefer to beat the Eagles. But also, let's see what
- 28:06Speaker 17: Jonathan Ingle could do. Give him a new site, new type,
- 28:09Speaker 17: see what he can do. Yeah, man, look forward to.
- 28:12Speaker 17: Like what other people are saying is like maybe Trey
- 28:15Speaker 17: Lance can get him in some option plays and and
- 28:18Speaker 17: do you to know them and Floridaway and see what
- 28:20Speaker 17: they can do. But let's go out and get some
- 28:24Speaker 17: wins and see what we can do by the end
- 28:26Speaker 17: of the season and go from there.
- 28:28Speaker 4: All right, that's all, thanks very That's all you can do.
- 28:31Speaker 4: And and Uh, thanks for the call. You know, going
- 28:36Speaker 4: back to what you said about you know, Trey Lance. Uh,
- 28:40Speaker 4: I get the sense that that might happen. Obviously, you're
- 28:44Speaker 4: not gonna hear coaches say, oh yeah, let's let's give
- 28:47Speaker 4: away the game plan or whatever. I mean, he's he's saying.
- 28:50Speaker 4: What what McCarthy said is that, you know, Cooper rushes
- 28:52Speaker 4: our guy, and that is the case. I mean, he
- 28:54Speaker 4: will be the guy. And and and they have a
- 28:57Speaker 4: lot of respect for what he can do. We've seen
- 28:59Speaker 4: him how some success. But you know, you do have
- 29:02Speaker 4: a unique situation, uh, with with Lance and and you know, I'd.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Like to maybe trick it up a little bit. What
- 29:11Speaker 1: better time to do that.
- 29:13Speaker 4: He's got to know the plays and he's gotta he's
- 29:15Speaker 4: gotta you know, they got to practice him. He's got
- 29:16Speaker 4: to get the opportunity to do that. And that's that's
- 29:19Speaker 4: where it gets. It gets a little dicey, because you
- 29:22Speaker 4: want Cooper Rush has not gotten a lot of reps here.
- 29:26Speaker 4: You want him to get as many snaps as possible here.
- 29:29Speaker 4: He is, he's he's you know, rusty. Uh, he's got
- 29:32Speaker 4: he needs all these reps. And at the same time,
- 29:35Speaker 4: are you taking him off the field and just in
- 29:37Speaker 4: practice for you know, for Trey Lance to get some
- 29:41Speaker 4: snaps here and there.
- 29:42Speaker 1: So but but on for it.
- 29:44Speaker 4: I mean, I think they can figure out a way
- 29:45Speaker 4: to do that where that they both should play. And
- 29:49Speaker 4: so we'll see, we'll see what goes there. As as
- 29:52Speaker 4: for what you said about Mingo again, I I just
- 29:57Speaker 4: and I've had some arguments with people, not arguments, but
- 30:00Speaker 4: I mean we you know, we've talked about with people
- 30:03Speaker 4: here in the building that didn't love the pick, didn't
- 30:05Speaker 4: love the fourth round, you know, giving up the fourth
- 30:08Speaker 4: round pick for it. You know, That's what's weird is
- 30:13Speaker 4: would you have been fine with a fifth because I
- 30:17Speaker 4: because really a fourth, I don't know a fourth and
- 30:20Speaker 4: a seventh seems about the same as a fifth. Just
- 30:25Speaker 4: I mean, I get it. You know, seventh round pick,
- 30:27Speaker 4: there's not a lot there. I mean, you might get
- 30:30Speaker 4: a player or two that that can help you, but.
- 30:34Speaker 1: It's it.
- 30:35Speaker 4: I think we're looking at just from that standpoint and
- 30:38Speaker 4: not ever with any kind of hope that the second
- 30:42Speaker 4: round pick receiver can be that. Like, I think that's
- 30:47Speaker 4: that's what what I what I hate, And I kind
- 30:49Speaker 4: of feel sorry for this guy.
- 30:50Speaker 1: I really do, Jonathan Mingo.
- 30:52Speaker 4: I feel sorry for the for the fact that, you know,
- 30:55Speaker 4: a lot of times we'll players just need a fresh start.
- 30:58Speaker 4: Is he gonna get one? I mean, is he really
- 31:00Speaker 4: going to get a fresh start here? I mean, he
- 31:02Speaker 4: seems like he's coming in here with the target on
- 31:04Speaker 4: his back already, like he's already a bust or what
- 31:07Speaker 4: didn't work out because he didn't it didn't work in Carolina?
- 31:10Speaker 4: Who's working in Carolina? Who's who's doing well there? I mean, seriously,
- 31:16Speaker 4: in a situation like that. So I hope he gets
- 31:20Speaker 4: a fresh start. I hope he gets a chance to
- 31:22Speaker 4: come here see what it is, because it's real easy.
- 31:24Speaker 4: Every time he does anything that doesn't do well, then
- 31:27Speaker 4: this is all going to be a Jerry move. And
- 31:29Speaker 4: that's that's that's what's kind of sad about it. It's
- 31:31Speaker 4: the reality, but it's it's sad about it. I hope
- 31:34Speaker 4: he gets a real fresh start, gets a chance to
- 31:36Speaker 4: do some things this year. I hope he's in the
- 31:38Speaker 4: dackyard next year. I hope when Dak's out there throwing
- 31:42Speaker 4: in his yard, I hope he's front and center, because
- 31:45Speaker 4: if that happens, you you you definitely see players elevate.
- 31:49Speaker 4: You see Jaylen Tolbert this year has done it. I've
- 31:52Speaker 4: seen Noah Brown, and I've seen Cedric Wilson, those guys
- 31:55Speaker 4: that get a lot of reps. So I really hope
- 31:57Speaker 4: that that happens. I think by next year you have
- 32:00Speaker 4: chance to get a pretty good player. And if that
- 32:01Speaker 4: does happen, then you get a guy that's a second
- 32:04Speaker 4: round maybe second third round pick for a fourth round pick,
- 32:07Speaker 4: then you did win. So that's the way I'm looking
- 32:10Speaker 4: at it. And you know, I mean it's not a
- 32:13Speaker 4: bad it's not a bad trade yet. I mean we
- 32:15Speaker 4: can't tell if it's a bad trade yet because guy
- 32:17Speaker 4: hasn't done anything yet, good or bad. All right, Randy
- 32:21Speaker 4: and san Antonio san Antonio.
- 32:23Speaker 7: Randy, Hey, Nick, how are you to day?
- 32:26Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing?
- 32:28Speaker 7: I'm doing quite well. It sounds like you were talking
- 32:31Speaker 7: about what I wanted to kind of talk about.
- 32:32Speaker 9: All right, go ahead.
- 32:34Speaker 7: The receiver. I actually really like a six to two
- 32:38Speaker 7: and twenty pound guy with the athleticism when they went
- 32:42Speaker 7: overall as combine stuff. Yeah, I don't think the fourth
- 32:45Speaker 7: round is giving up the farm. The Cowboys had a
- 32:48Speaker 7: second round great on him. It sounds like so, like
- 32:51Speaker 7: you said, if this turns out to be a guy
- 32:53Speaker 7: that's a second round talent, maybe you've got your number
- 32:56Speaker 7: two receiver and you're not paying him ceedee lamb money
- 32:59Speaker 7: if your number two, So maybe you have a chance
- 33:02Speaker 7: to even pay him, you know, two, three, four more
- 33:05Speaker 7: years for your number two receiver, but not break the
- 33:08Speaker 7: bank and give you some flexibility to get some other
- 33:11Speaker 7: pieces in. I really like the move. You know that
- 33:14Speaker 7: sounds like explosion. You know, long broad jump, good high
- 33:18Speaker 7: jump relatively, you know, four four six forty really fast.
- 33:22Speaker 7: And then I could I say something about your military guys,
- 33:25Speaker 7: retired military guy myself, really really really cool to hear
- 33:30Speaker 7: him his perspective. But I listened to the ninety two
- 33:34Speaker 7: San Francisco playoff game on a ship on something called teletype,
- 33:39Speaker 7: which is basically like a digital radio broadcast of the
- 33:44Speaker 7: TV broadcast. So technology has changed. Now we have a
- 33:47Speaker 7: lot more games on the Armed Forces network. But but yeah,
- 33:50Speaker 7: I was a good friend of mine, We were book
- 33:52Speaker 7: cowboys fans, got some junk food and went and listened
- 33:57Speaker 7: to the game on that teletype thing. So it's kind
- 33:59Speaker 7: of how much technology has changed.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
- 34:03Speaker 4: I would still I still think it would have been
- 34:05Speaker 4: cool to hear whatever you're seeing it, you're hearing it
- 34:08Speaker 4: Alvin Harper breaking away on that seventy seventy yard PiZZ which.
- 34:12Speaker 7: Man, we were jumping up in a high five and
- 34:14Speaker 7: on that that place so much and uh we had
- 34:17Speaker 7: we had went into a lounge where I worked to
- 34:21Speaker 7: start to watch it or listen to it with everybody else,
- 34:23Speaker 7: and it was just completely full. So we went to
- 34:26Speaker 7: another space where it was this us, you know, so uh,
- 34:30Speaker 7: you know, a little more room anyway, cool stuff, great show, Nick,
- 34:34Speaker 7: Thank you. I wanted to give us some perspectives on
- 34:36Speaker 7: the the Mingo trade. I kind of like it. Wish
- 34:40Speaker 7: that had done a little bit more.
- 34:41Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I hear you, I hear you. Thanks.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Thanks for the call and Randy great great perspective as well.
- 34:49Speaker 4: I've said this before, you know, and I talk about
- 34:51Speaker 4: stuff all the time, sometimes on the radio. Sometimes here
- 34:54Speaker 4: I can't remember with the points I'm making, I think,
- 34:57Speaker 4: you know this this trade reminds me of it. It's
- 35:02Speaker 4: like a good gift to your kids on October the eighteenth, Like, wow,
- 35:09Speaker 4: you gave me this, Like this is pretty cool things.
- 35:11Speaker 1: I like it.
- 35:12Speaker 13: A lot.
- 35:12Speaker 4: Oh man, I wanted this. If you make it Santa's
- 35:16Speaker 4: gift on Christmas Day?
- 35:18Speaker 1: Oh really?
- 35:19Speaker 4: Like, oh, I thought it would be more than that.
- 35:22Speaker 4: So I think it's a good trade. I just think
- 35:25Speaker 4: from where what Jerry was saying, I think the expectations
- 35:28Speaker 4: of everything and all this all in crap and all
- 35:31Speaker 4: that stuff, it's like, who are we getting and it's
- 35:33Speaker 4: like oh ingo for and.
- 35:35Speaker 1: It's easily criticized and all that.
- 35:37Speaker 4: I think ultimately it's it's it could be a good trade.
- 35:42Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 35:42Speaker 4: I mean, just like with any draft pick, with any pick,
- 35:44Speaker 4: but anything, it's it's a we'll see. And he's still
- 35:46Speaker 4: at that stage where well, we'll see how how he developed.
- 35:50Speaker 4: So I don't hate the move at all. I think
- 35:52Speaker 4: it could be a good one. I just think the
- 35:55Speaker 4: timing of it is very easy to criticize size again.
- 36:01Speaker 4: Uh and I said that what Monday, I said, whatever
- 36:04Speaker 4: they do, if they make a move, he'll be criticized.
- 36:06Speaker 4: If he doesn't, it'll be criticized for staying pat because
- 36:09Speaker 4: they don't care, blah blah. Or you know, if you sell,
- 36:12Speaker 4: it'll be criticized for giving up and quitting and all that.
- 36:15Speaker 4: You really can't. You can't win on a situation like that.
- 36:19Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Griff and send San Angelo good.
- 36:26Speaker 9: Morning, sir.
- 36:26Speaker 1: How are you doing.
- 36:28Speaker 9: I'm doing peachy, both on this side of the dirt
- 36:30Speaker 9: and upright.
- 36:32Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks for the call. I know this
- 36:34Speaker 1: is first time I heard. I haven't heard Griff or
- 36:37Speaker 1: Peachey before, so I love it. So thanks.
- 36:40Speaker 9: Here we go, Hi, I'm gonna switch gears a little bit.
- 36:46Speaker 9: I'm kind of looking forward, all right. Has anybody said
- 36:49Speaker 9: anything about the Eagles offense looking similar to what Kellen
- 36:53Speaker 9: ran would he was with us.
- 36:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think there's some concepts that but
- 37:00Speaker 4: you got to remember he I don't think it is different.
- 37:03Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think it is the same because
- 37:06Speaker 4: he's not using Jalen Hurts like like they're using Dak.
- 37:10Speaker 4: There's certainly not a Barkley, So I think the pieces
- 37:13Speaker 4: are a little are a little different.
- 37:16Speaker 9: I just didn't know if we were kind of expecting
- 37:19Speaker 9: what he ran when he was in San Diego for
- 37:23Speaker 9: a minute, or if he was running things that he
- 37:26Speaker 9: was running here, yeah, or if it was just still
- 37:29Speaker 9: what Sarayannie kind of wanted to do.
- 37:31Speaker 4: I think and this is the credit to Kellen. I mean,
- 37:34Speaker 4: and most of these young coordinators, I mean most coaches,
- 37:38Speaker 4: they take the pieces that they have and they kind
- 37:41Speaker 4: of take their concepts and mold it around there too.
- 37:43Speaker 4: So obviously he's not running the same stuff that he
- 37:46Speaker 4: ran with Herbert in the Chargers as he's doing here.
- 37:49Speaker 4: I Mean, Eckler's a different back than than Barkley and
- 37:52Speaker 4: all all that kind of stuff. So different concepts, I mean,
- 37:55Speaker 4: you know, are different, different you know, ways of doing
- 37:57Speaker 4: certain things. I'm sure the concepts are are the same,
- 38:00Speaker 4: but but you know, you can't just look at it,
- 38:03Speaker 4: you know, the same way, because i what the Chargers
- 38:05Speaker 4: had and what you know last year and what they
- 38:07Speaker 4: had with with Philadelphia is totally different. I think you
- 38:10Speaker 4: just got to look, You've got a good sample size.
- 38:11Speaker 4: You've seen it now for for eight games of what
- 38:14Speaker 4: they're doing and and and that's what makes Philly so
- 38:17Speaker 4: hard because it's like, Okay, I mean, like, what's there,
- 38:21Speaker 4: what's the play that they run the most that you
- 38:23Speaker 4: see the most from Philly?
- 38:27Speaker 9: So much different?
- 38:28Speaker 4: Well, but I'm just saying they run a play that
- 38:31Speaker 4: everyone in the world knows.
- 38:32Speaker 9: Is gonna They're gonna right.
- 38:35Speaker 4: And but that's that's the thing, like the Philly's not
- 38:38Speaker 4: trying to do They're not trying to trick you.
- 38:40Speaker 1: They're like, we're running the ball.
- 38:41Speaker 4: Can you stop it? I don't think you can. And
- 38:43Speaker 4: so that's that's what makes it kind of tough. They've
- 38:45Speaker 4: got good enough players, good enough scheme that it's like,
- 38:49Speaker 4: this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna throw the balls,
- 38:51Speaker 4: you know, to Dvante Smith and A J.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Brown.
- 38:54Speaker 4: I'm not sure I think A J. Brown is gonna
- 38:56Speaker 4: be playing. I think he's he's he got hurt, but
- 38:59Speaker 4: I think he's gonna play. They just got really good
- 39:01Speaker 4: players and and so I don't know if you can
- 39:03Speaker 4: really say, uh, we know what Kellen Moore likes to do.
- 39:07Speaker 4: I think everyone knows what the Eagles are trying to do.
- 39:09Speaker 4: They just they're just hard to stop.
- 39:11Speaker 9: They're just really really good at it, really.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Good at it.
- 39:13Speaker 4: You're right about that, and they're and they're starting to
- 39:15Speaker 4: get better and better. They're really starting to find their
- 39:17Speaker 4: their rhythm, right we have.
- 39:19Speaker 9: When you have somebody like hurdling people backwards, it's kind
- 39:23Speaker 9: of hard to prepare for that.
- 39:25Speaker 4: That might that might be the greatest play I've ever seen.
- 39:28Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, when I first saw it, I thought
- 39:30Speaker 4: it was one of those plays that was kind of
- 39:32Speaker 4: somebody's tricking, you know, and and and messing around with
- 39:36Speaker 4: with you know, with the graphics and stuff like that.
- 39:37Speaker 1: Like there's no way he really did that in a game.
- 39:41Speaker 9: That that kind of goes back to, like winning and
- 39:44Speaker 9: running without the helmet and yeah, the first time somebody.
- 39:48Speaker 9: It's just it's a unique play that nobody can plan on.
- 39:51Speaker 9: I think it's just an instinct thing.
- 39:53Speaker 4: Unbelievable, it really is. And what what a freak of
- 39:56Speaker 4: a player he is.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Man, let you go, dude.
- 39:59Speaker 9: All right, thanks, goody, and hopefully we'll have a win
- 40:02Speaker 9: this weekend.

- 41:59Speaker 4: Yeah, got some playoff game going on this week. He
- 42:01Speaker 4: was actually in the studio yesterday on the on the show.
- 42:05Speaker 4: I didn't get him on the air. There was a
- 42:07Speaker 4: couple of times I was kind of telling him to
- 42:09Speaker 4: move over, so he was. He was on his head,
- 42:12Speaker 4: might have gotten into the camera a little bit.
- 42:14Speaker 1: But yeah, he's doing good.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Thanks for asking outstanding, Yeah, of course, man, goods through
- 42:19Speaker 2: the future. Right, yeah.
- 42:21Speaker 7: Sorry.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Remember in eighty eight, my second or third year in
- 42:25Speaker 2: the Navy, maybe my fourth, it was third, and I
- 42:29Speaker 2: watched this when we went three and thirteen last year,
- 42:32Speaker 2: Tom Landry the man in the store, right, great guy.
- 42:35Speaker 2: I cheered for my team the whole year. Yeah, Jimmy
- 42:38Speaker 2: Johnson came in. We went one in fifteen.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Yeah, and we beat.
- 42:43Speaker 2: The Redskins in early early November. It was four thanks kidding,
- 42:47Speaker 2: but we beat the Redskins and I was in the
- 42:50Speaker 2: golf first golf for them, and I got to watch
- 42:54Speaker 2: that on the John don't know whatever. It was called
- 42:56Speaker 2: the us SO thing, and it was the only game
- 43:00Speaker 2: I watched the whole season.
- 43:01Speaker 7: Is only game we won.
- 43:02Speaker 2: And I'm a cheer for us every game, and I
- 43:05Speaker 2: think that we still play like like we're gonna win.
- 43:09Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's why you play the game.
- 43:10Speaker 13: You known.
- 43:10Speaker 2: When ever we play a lose, I hate these people
- 43:12Speaker 2: to call in and say we need to get ready
- 43:15Speaker 2: for next year and get better draft picks and sell,
- 43:17Speaker 2: sell sell, Let's fight, fight, fight and keep going.
- 43:20Speaker 13: You know.
- 43:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Well, I hope we beat the Eagles, and I don't
- 43:24Speaker 2: know if we can. But God, Michael comes back and
- 43:27Speaker 2: dron Bland comes back, which is so doubtful, I think, right.
- 43:31Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, I think he has a chance to play
- 43:36Speaker 4: this week.
- 43:36Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see.
- 43:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Mike has got a better chance to play,
- 43:42Speaker 4: But but I do, I think we'll see that.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Today's a big day.
- 43:45Speaker 4: Today's a big day to see what they're doing practice wise,
- 43:48Speaker 4: see if they're if they're kind of working themselves back
- 43:50Speaker 4: into practice.
- 43:51Speaker 1: I think they. I think he's got a he's got
- 43:53Speaker 1: a shot for sure.
- 43:55Speaker 2: And i'd like to a retired Navy guy, I'd like
- 43:57Speaker 2: to do a shout out to all the service members,
- 43:59Speaker 2: especially the sergeants too, and everybody else who calls them.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Thank you guys for your service and keeping our country
- 44:04Speaker 2: for you. I don't care who you voted for, but
- 44:07Speaker 2: we all have the right to choose who we want
- 44:08Speaker 2: because we have put our lives on the line to
- 44:11Speaker 2: give us our freedom.
- 44:12Speaker 4: Thanks Nick, all right, sounds good. Thank you for the
- 44:15Speaker 4: for the call. Appreciate that. And uh, you know, and
- 44:19Speaker 4: this is what I love about the show is people
- 44:21Speaker 4: have different perspectives because they have you know, different.
- 44:26Speaker 1: You know history.
- 44:28Speaker 4: I mean they have they have a different path that
- 44:30Speaker 4: they've gone through. They see things, you know, different experiences.
- 44:35Speaker 4: So you know, sometimes I would think, you know, you've
- 44:40Speaker 4: you've been deployed, you've gone over and you fought, you know,
- 44:42Speaker 4: for the country, and you you've been you know in
- 44:44Speaker 4: different places, You've listened to games, playoff games on you know,
- 44:48Speaker 4: radios and things like that. You might have a different
- 44:51Speaker 4: perspective that when it comes to well, let's just go
- 44:54Speaker 4: for next year or whatever like that. Again, nobody's right,
- 44:57Speaker 4: nobody's wrong. That's everyone does does their thing.
- 45:00Speaker 1: And I know this.
- 45:01Speaker 4: The people that are saying, oh, well, let's just think
- 45:03Speaker 4: about next year, maybe in the big picture that's what
- 45:07Speaker 4: they are thinking about. But I can promise you they're
- 45:10Speaker 4: going to be glued to the TV at three twenty
- 45:12Speaker 4: five against the Eagles.
- 45:13Speaker 1: That's just the way it is.
- 45:14Speaker 4: And so so yeah, you might even say let's look
- 45:17Speaker 4: this way, but everyone's still looking right now. I doubt
- 45:20Speaker 4: that people are tuning out and say, wow, I'm done,
- 45:22Speaker 4: I'm done with this year. That's not the people that
- 45:25Speaker 4: call this show, you know, because that's these are the diehards.
- 45:27Speaker 4: This is where, this is what it is. This is
- 45:29Speaker 4: what die hard means. You die hard when you when
- 45:32Speaker 4: you're dying and you're not playing with you. This is
- 45:34Speaker 4: it's tough. This matters this much. And so nobody's going anywhere.
- 45:39Speaker 4: They're going to be watching the game every game.
- 45:40Speaker 1: All right, last caller here we got is Ad in Atlanta. Ad.
- 45:45Speaker 19: Hey, what's going on?
- 45:46Speaker 9: Nick?
- 45:46Speaker 4: How you bet, I'm good man. This is the first
- 45:48Speaker 4: time you've called, you've called the storyline.
- 45:51Speaker 19: Yeah, I definitely talk to you guys a few years back,
- 45:54Speaker 19: but definitely want to get to you quickly. Do you
- 45:57Speaker 19: think Mingo plays this weekend? That's where number one question
- 46:01Speaker 19: number two, do you think Mike McCarthy really has a
- 46:06Speaker 19: handle on the locker room? It does seem like from
- 46:09Speaker 19: a distance that he might have lost, you know, the
- 46:12Speaker 19: command that he would have needed due to just being
- 46:16Speaker 19: on a one year contract. I really feel like that
- 46:19Speaker 19: might have been the nail in the coffin for us
- 46:22Speaker 19: as far as like the coaching getting the players to
- 46:25Speaker 19: do better. And then my last question would be just
- 46:29Speaker 19: do you really think at any point in time we'll
- 46:31Speaker 19: get a better feel for who's making the decisions with Jerry,
- 46:35Speaker 19: because you know, he can hide behind the the conglomerate
- 46:41Speaker 19: idea that everybody's cheating him ideas for him to make
- 46:45Speaker 19: a decision. We know Stevens involved, we know Will mcclay's involved.
- 46:49Speaker 19: I just wish we could kind of get a real
- 46:51Speaker 19: good feel on who's making these decisions, who's really the person,
- 46:55Speaker 19: because it doesn't seem like all the decisions Lenk.
- 46:58Speaker 8: Up together, got have a blessed beautiful time.
- 47:01Speaker 4: Thank you for having me, thank you, well, I don't know,
- 47:06Speaker 4: here we go, here we go, thanks for the call
- 47:07Speaker 4: a d first time, and and got in quick, you know,
- 47:10Speaker 4: in and out right.
- 47:11Speaker 1: There three three questions.
- 47:14Speaker 4: That last one though, you know, we're going to run
- 47:16Speaker 4: out of time before we even get start thinking about
- 47:18Speaker 4: that one. And who's making the decisions based off of
- 47:22Speaker 4: you know, if they if they look like well they're
- 47:24Speaker 4: they're kind of different. Well they are, you know, the
- 47:28Speaker 4: situations are different, they're always changing. I you know, yes,
- 47:32Speaker 4: there's an owner and a GM and and that's Jerry Jones.
- 47:35Speaker 4: But I think we've learned by now we should that
- 47:39Speaker 4: there's a He has said this a thousand times and
- 47:41Speaker 4: it's true. I mean, like they they make these decisions
- 47:44Speaker 4: as a group. They they they talk about it and
- 47:47Speaker 4: and he's always said, if there's a tie in the room,
- 47:51Speaker 4: well I'll break it. But but I think that sometimes
- 47:55Speaker 4: it's not a tie. Sometimes most people think this way,
- 47:58Speaker 4: and Jerry's been overruled at times. Steve even is making
- 48:01Speaker 4: a lot of these these moves too. Are these decisions
- 48:04Speaker 4: Will McLay and what Mike McCarthy everybody does, you know,
- 48:07Speaker 4: because the coaches, you know, they they they factor this
- 48:09Speaker 4: in and they say, hey, this guy, this is what
- 48:11Speaker 4: we like, this is how we can use him. That's
- 48:14Speaker 4: why it's good to have continuity with your coach and
- 48:18Speaker 4: your and your and your scouts, because they kind of
- 48:21Speaker 4: know what type of player they want, what type of
- 48:23Speaker 4: players they're gonna need. Mingo playing this week, we'll see again.
- 48:29Speaker 4: It's going to have to come down to what he
- 48:30Speaker 4: can do and how much he understands the terminology and
- 48:35Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. Should be ready, he should be
- 48:37Speaker 4: ready to play, should be in football shape and all
- 48:38Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. And I would think from a
- 48:42Speaker 4: receiver standpoint, I would think, you know, you could, you
- 48:45Speaker 4: could probably figure out a way to get him involved.
- 48:48Speaker 4: You know, he's got he's got another routes for sure.
- 48:53Speaker 4: And then I guess I remember the second question was
- 48:55Speaker 4: I have McCarthy written down. I can't remember exactly oh
- 49:00Speaker 4: about about that? There's something to be said for that,
- 49:02Speaker 4: Like they lose the locker room.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Is it hard?
- 49:04Speaker 4: Is hard when you don't have a contract, you don't
- 49:06Speaker 4: have any future. I'll say this, Jason Garrett, I thought
- 49:10Speaker 4: at the end of the rope there for him. I
- 49:12Speaker 4: thought it was a time where maybe, you know, the
- 49:15Speaker 4: message had just kind of worn off a little bit.
- 49:17Speaker 4: It'd been there for nine years, same message, same thing
- 49:21Speaker 4: was he was, you couldn't get more consistent than Jason
- 49:24Speaker 4: Garrett and and I thought maybe towards the end the
- 49:28Speaker 4: message did kind of falter a little bit, and perhaps
- 49:34Speaker 4: that is the perception of you know, well you're not
- 49:37Speaker 4: you know, they haven't committed to you long term, so
- 49:40Speaker 4: it's hard. It's hard to again, I don't know. I
- 49:43Speaker 4: don't think the players think of it that way, and
- 49:45Speaker 4: may be a subconscious thing, but you know, I think
- 49:50Speaker 4: everyone's got, you know, has the focus to go win
- 49:53Speaker 4: this game this week. That's what it is. That's what
- 49:55Speaker 4: the focus is. I don't think it's more than that.
- 49:57Speaker 4: I think I think the plan is it's got to
- 49:59Speaker 4: be go out and win a game this week. Guys,
- 50:02Speaker 4: great calls today, great great calls, great perspectives. I understand
- 50:05Speaker 4: how tough this is to be a Cowboy fan right now,
- 50:08Speaker 4: but I like the way you guys are bringing it.
- 50:10Speaker 4: It's not easy, but this is what the situation of
- 50:12Speaker 4: the ran. Making the most of it. You guys are
- 50:14Speaker 4: doing a great job doing it, and I really love
- 50:17Speaker 4: talking to you guys about it, and we'll see, you know,
- 50:19Speaker 4: we'll see how things go this week, and we got
- 50:22Speaker 4: a couple more shows beforehand to talk about it, including
- 50:25Speaker 4: tomorrow's We'll be back Tomorrow for Chris Beam.
