- 0:08Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 4: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:22Speaker 1: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Monday,
- 0:25Speaker 1: November the fourth. I'm Nick Eatman and we're gonna talk
- 0:29Speaker 1: about the Cowboys and the Falcons from Sunday twenty seven
- 0:33Speaker 1: to twenty one. Atlanta gets the win over the Cowboys.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Where did the Cowboys go from here? It's gonna be
- 0:41Speaker 1: an uphill battle, obviously at this point, to get to
- 0:43Speaker 1: where they want to be, obviously at twelve and five,
- 0:47Speaker 1: three straight years, and here they are at three and five,
- 0:49Speaker 1: not where the Cowboys thought they would be, not where
- 0:51Speaker 1: any of us really thought. And this Sunday's game was
- 0:56Speaker 1: kind of, you know, an example of what this season
- 0:59Speaker 1: has been in all season long. Just can't can't get
- 1:02Speaker 1: out of their own way, making too many mistakes, starting
- 1:06Speaker 1: off too slow, not enough time to come back. And then, oh,
- 1:09Speaker 1: by the way, more injuries to key players this one.
- 1:13Speaker 1: This time the offensive side of the ball gets it.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Dak Prescott obviously out with a hamstring injury. At the
- 1:20Speaker 1: end of the game, we'll see what his his status
- 1:22Speaker 1: will be as we move forward. Here ceedee Lamb shoulder injury. Uh,
- 1:27Speaker 1: he fought through it. Jake Ferguson was limping around at
- 1:31Speaker 1: the end of the game too. Just just a really
- 1:33Speaker 1: tough loss for the Cowboys on more ways than one.
- 1:36Speaker 1: They don't they don't win the game, they don't play
- 1:38Speaker 1: well really in all three phases, and then injuries on
- 1:43Speaker 1: top of it as well. So all right, eight eight
- 1:46Speaker 1: a E five five two two nine seven is the
- 1:48Speaker 1: number two call. Give us, give us a call, give
- 1:52Speaker 1: us a text if you want. Eight one to seven
- 1:53Speaker 1: two nine zero three two nine eight. All right, start
- 1:56Speaker 1: us off here, and Josh in New Mexico is starting off. Josh,
- 2:00Speaker 1: what's up?
- 2:01Speaker 5: Good morning? Nick?
- 2:02Speaker 6: How you doing?
- 2:03Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you doing?
- 2:05Speaker 6: I'm all right, you know, trying to get through the
- 2:07Speaker 6: season again, starting off a little rough. But I think
- 2:11Speaker 6: these injuries are really gonna hurt us in the long run.
- 2:14Speaker 6: Nobody can stay healthy and we just keep having injuries
- 2:17Speaker 6: week by week. It's just going to be weaker and
- 2:18Speaker 6: weaker and we're not going to get any improvements. But
- 2:22Speaker 6: a few takeaways I took from last night. First one,
- 2:25Speaker 6: it was that fourth and two fake punt, Like, come on,
- 2:28Speaker 6: you're gonna give freaking the punter chance to get the
- 2:35Speaker 6: fourth and two and not Dak Prescott. That's just a
- 2:37Speaker 6: little crazy to me.
- 2:38Speaker 1: But yeah, well that one is hurting. I mean, I'm
- 2:43Speaker 1: I'm fine with a fake punt, and i I'm think
- 2:46Speaker 1: I'm okay with Anger throwing it. I didn't love him
- 2:50Speaker 1: throwing it to c J. Goodwin. I mean, you have
- 2:53Speaker 1: you have Illinois on the other side, who's an actual
- 2:55Speaker 1: wide receiver. That's two weeks in a row. They've gotten
- 2:58Speaker 1: the ball to c J. Goodwin and then and they
- 3:01Speaker 1: tried to at least and it didn't. It didn't work out,
- 3:04Speaker 1: So I'm not really sure were Yeah, I'm with you though,
- 3:07Speaker 1: fourth and two, if you're gonna go for us to
- 3:09Speaker 1: go for it, you know, because it wasn't wide open.
- 3:12Speaker 1: I mean Atlanta was looking looking for it. I mean
- 3:15Speaker 1: the cornerback was looking earlier than CJ was.
- 3:18Speaker 6: So oh, definitely, I was a little confused by that
- 3:21Speaker 6: play call and what they had in mind right there.
- 3:23Speaker 6: I mean, at least give back another chance two yards
- 3:26Speaker 6: we're running the ball. Great. Ricodoo had a great game.
- 3:29Speaker 6: That was one positive I took away from the game,
- 3:31Speaker 6: but another one of the Olnes atrocious getting Carson. I
- 3:34Speaker 6: was excited to see him back out there, but still
- 3:37Speaker 6: no production, getting burned every play and it's not looking
- 3:42Speaker 6: good on the defense. And then that ninety nine yard
- 3:44Speaker 6: drive so topped it off for me.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Was there a nineine yard drive?
- 3:49Speaker 6: I remember pretty much when we punted it all the
- 3:51Speaker 6: way and then they come back the one. Yeah, a
- 3:56Speaker 6: touchdown that was over those wraps.
- 3:59Speaker 1: All right, all right, well I appreciate it, Josh, thank
- 4:01Speaker 1: you for the call. I know they are frustrations there. Yeah,
- 4:06Speaker 1: I was like, I remember a nine nine yard drive.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I don't believe they scored on that drive. They actually
- 4:11Speaker 1: got one first down and then punted. But still, I mean,
- 4:18Speaker 1: it wasn't good. It wasn't like it was oh you know,
- 4:22Speaker 1: oh it was better than that. I mean, I think
- 4:23Speaker 1: the Falcon's longest drive was a seventy eight yarder. Still, though,
- 4:29Speaker 1: you know that was that was a tough sequence there,
- 4:31Speaker 1: the Cowboys having a shot. I believe they were on
- 4:34Speaker 1: fourth and one and that was the penalty. With Dalvin
- 4:38Speaker 1: Cook being twelve men in the huddle, didn't know what
- 4:41Speaker 1: the play was, didn't realize CD was supposed to be
- 4:44Speaker 1: the running back there or whatever, pushed them back to
- 4:47Speaker 1: fourth and sixth, and they punted, and they punted down
- 4:49Speaker 1: to the one. They lost a few minutes there. They
- 4:53Speaker 1: didn't lose a lot because by the time Atlanta punted back,
- 4:56Speaker 1: Cowboys still a decent field position again. But still, I mean,
- 5:00Speaker 1: wasting time there and an opportunity to go do something.
- 5:03Speaker 1: All right, Pete and Connecticut, what's up?
- 5:06Speaker 5: Hey, Nick?
- 5:06Speaker 2: How are you?
- 5:07Speaker 1: I'm good?
- 5:08Speaker 2: How are you good man? I was just wondering how
- 5:11Speaker 2: you guys all felt about Dak Prescott's comments get caught
- 5:14Speaker 2: on the television after he got the hamstring injury. Alrighty,
- 5:18Speaker 2: thank you very much.
- 5:20Speaker 1: All right, I need some context there, So I don't
- 5:24Speaker 1: I don't know. I actually don't know much about I've
- 5:27Speaker 1: seen some I've heard some things about what he said,
- 5:31Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't know exactly what you're
- 5:33Speaker 1: referring to. So sorry we cut you off there because
- 5:37Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't see I didn't see that actually
- 5:40Speaker 1: when I watching the TV copy. I've heard different things
- 5:43Speaker 1: that you know, people like to read lips and so,
- 5:46Speaker 1: but I don't know exactly what you're referred to on
- 5:49Speaker 1: that particular one. Is he frustrated, Sure, I mean, without
- 5:53Speaker 1: a doubt he's he's frustrated. But if there's any kind
- 5:56Speaker 1: of thought about maybe he's not you know, he's not
- 6:01Speaker 1: all in, or he's not gonna you know, he's given
- 6:04Speaker 1: up hope or anything like that, I would, I would.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I wouldn't waste any any breath on that one. I
- 6:10Speaker 1: think I don't think anyone's more committed to what what's
- 6:13Speaker 1: happening on this team. And and that was evident back
- 6:16Speaker 1: in training camp. So I mean, let's let's just kind
- 6:18Speaker 1: of cut that narrative whatever it is right now. He's
- 6:21Speaker 1: he's frustrated because this he feels like this team is
- 6:25Speaker 1: better than what they are, and he sees a lot
- 6:27Speaker 1: of the problems, you know, I mean the the fall
- 6:30Speaker 1: start penalties, that the illegal motion, uh, legal formation, uh,
- 6:36Speaker 1: twelve men in the huddle, I mean, what what else
- 6:38Speaker 1: could there be? What what else is there? And and
- 6:41Speaker 1: and it's all across the board. It's veteran players doing it,
- 6:45Speaker 1: it's rookies, it's everybody, and and you know, and and
- 6:49Speaker 1: who wouldn't be frustrated by it? So and he's not.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And he's not playing well either, I mean, let's be honest.
- 6:55Speaker 1: He he didn't play a great game. I mean he
- 6:58Speaker 1: was nine for nine or in the game, and he
- 7:01Speaker 1: wasn't playing well. You know, he really wasn't playing well
- 7:04Speaker 1: in that nine for nine. It's just little things here
- 7:08Speaker 1: and there. There's a play where Ferguson catches the ball
- 7:11Speaker 1: behind him and then he kind of stumbles and then
- 7:15Speaker 1: he gets and he gets all the way like one.
- 7:17Speaker 1: You know, I thought it was close to being a
- 7:19Speaker 1: first down, and they marked him a yard short. But
- 7:23Speaker 1: no problem because you got third and one and fourth
- 7:25Speaker 1: and one and this team couldn't get it. Rico o'
- 7:27Speaker 1: daddle gets tackled by an arm tackle at the line
- 7:29Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and then Seedee Lamb gets tackled by the
- 7:33Speaker 1: jersey going around on a sweep. But still third and one,
- 7:35Speaker 1: fourth and one in you're in shotgun. What does that
- 7:37Speaker 1: tell you about what the Cowboys feel like what they
- 7:39Speaker 1: can do on offense. I mean, third and one shotgun
- 7:43Speaker 1: pretty much like a delayed draw. And Rico gets stopped.
- 7:47Speaker 1: And then fourth and one you're trying a wide receiver
- 7:49Speaker 1: around on a jet sweep and he can't get there.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I mean, of course, because he's not a running back.
- 7:55Speaker 1: He's not built like one where you're not going to
- 7:57Speaker 1: break arm tackles from defensive linemen. So you know, it's
- 8:02Speaker 1: it's too bad that you can't go third and one,
- 8:03Speaker 1: fourth and one, get under center either, Dak, you know,
- 8:07Speaker 1: get the yard or run the ball, you know, forward
- 8:10Speaker 1: and get a yard like everybody else seems to be
- 8:12Speaker 1: able to do. Dylan in Northport, Florida's next, Dylan, what's.
- 8:16Speaker 7: Up, hey, Nix.
- 8:18Speaker 8: You know, just seems like everything is difficult for this team,
- 8:22Speaker 8: even the easy stuff that should just be you've been
- 8:24Speaker 8: playing for such a long time now together a lot
- 8:26Speaker 8: of these guys have, you know, the twelve men in
- 8:29Speaker 8: the field, the fall starts, the pretatt penalties, motion, all
- 8:33Speaker 8: that that just seems like amateur ball, and it seems
- 8:36Speaker 8: like a professional sports team shouldn't be plagued by those
- 8:39Speaker 8: issues constantly. Yeah, it happens here and there, but it's
- 8:42Speaker 8: like they can't do even the basic stuff right. And
- 8:45Speaker 8: I don't know if you saw or up on the
- 8:46Speaker 8: Jon Robinson catch out of the backfield, it was like
- 8:50Speaker 8: a swing path. On their first third and four over
- 8:52Speaker 8: in the red zone, Cowboys had ten guys in the field,
- 8:55Speaker 8: like a third and four in the red zone and
- 8:57Speaker 8: you can't even get you can't field the proper amount
- 8:59Speaker 8: of guys on the field, and then they get called
- 9:02Speaker 8: out on the broadcast. But it's like, what what are
- 9:04Speaker 8: we doing? That's just a sign of a bad team.
- 9:06Speaker 8: I don't know if it goes to coaching, if it
- 9:08Speaker 8: goes to players not doing what they're supposed to be doing,
- 9:11Speaker 8: you know, and then you got turping steps out on
- 9:13Speaker 8: a punt return touchdown. It would have been a punt
- 9:16Speaker 8: return touchdown. And that's not really necessarily his fault per se,
- 9:20Speaker 8: because you know, he had to turn the speak around
- 9:22Speaker 8: the corner. But it's like they just can't catch a break,
- 9:24Speaker 8: they can't get out of their own way, and it
- 9:26Speaker 8: just seems to be at this point that kind of season.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Yeah, because that's what happens when you're really like not
- 9:32Speaker 1: a good team. You know, like like the good teams
- 9:35Speaker 1: figure out those ways to to you know, get the
- 9:38Speaker 1: turnover and make the play, and that just doesn't happen.
- 9:43Speaker 1: You know, it just doesn't happen for this team. That's frustrating.
- 9:47Speaker 8: Yeah, it's usually compounds, right, the bad stuff compounds. If
- 9:51Speaker 8: it'd stuff compounds. You're putting good film on the field,
- 9:54Speaker 8: then you know, morbid stuff will happen to you. The
- 9:56Speaker 8: better you are, the luckier you get. I guess you
- 9:58Speaker 8: can say the Cowboys the start good.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean thanks. You know, they're they're just not
- 10:04Speaker 1: good at at really like they're not special at anything
- 10:08Speaker 1: right now. And that's that's the thing that that's really frustrating.
- 10:11Speaker 1: You can you can always kind of balance something out.
- 10:14Speaker 1: You know, your defense can pick you up if your
- 10:16Speaker 1: offensive struggling or vice versa or whatever. Maybe the special teams,
- 10:20Speaker 1: but as special teams has to be just like extraordinary
- 10:23Speaker 1: and you know, I think Brandon Aubrey is, but I
- 10:26Speaker 1: don't think the special teams has been extraordinary here lately.
- 10:31Speaker 1: We've we've seen some some issues here and there some penalties.
- 10:35Speaker 1: You know, obviously the fake punt was was just you know,
- 10:38Speaker 1: you're trying to make a play here that but it
- 10:42Speaker 1: wasn't one that you know that that the Falcons just
- 10:44Speaker 1: weren't ready for. So all in all, like there's just
- 10:48Speaker 1: nothing that the Cowboys are doing right now that that
- 10:51Speaker 1: that can carry them, and and their their defense is
- 10:54Speaker 1: just not good enough. I mean it was okay at times,
- 10:56Speaker 1: you know, just not good enough. At other times in
- 11:00Speaker 1: your offense, you know, I moved the ball a little
- 11:02Speaker 1: bit here and there, but then they stalled, so nothing
- 11:05Speaker 1: was good enough. And and by the by the end
- 11:09Speaker 1: of the game, you know, look what happens, and and
- 11:12Speaker 1: you know, that game looked a little bit. It didn't
- 11:15Speaker 1: seem to be as close as a six point game.
- 11:17Speaker 1: And we've seen that happen a lot here this year.
- 11:20Speaker 1: The Ravens game wasn't as close as it ended. You
- 11:23Speaker 1: can make the case for the forty nine ers as well,
- 11:26Speaker 1: give the Cowboys credit for keep fighting to make it
- 11:29Speaker 1: close because it is a four quarter game. But at
- 11:32Speaker 1: the same time, you kind of feel like when these
- 11:34Speaker 1: teams really want to make a stop or really want
- 11:37Speaker 1: to you know, you know, do what they need to
- 11:39Speaker 1: do to kind of put away. They're doing that. All right,
- 11:42Speaker 1: Let's go to Robin Vegas. Hey, Nick, Hey, how you doing.
- 11:46Speaker 5: Rub I'm good?
- 11:47Speaker 7: How are you? Ah?
- 11:50Speaker 2: You know right?
- 11:50Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean Patrick Mahomes, it's going to be successful. Well,
- 11:57Speaker 9: what Jerry and Michael McCarthy did that is I mean
- 12:02Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy. I say, a coach has to give me either.
- 12:07Speaker 9: He has to be a good coordinator, so he's got
- 12:10Speaker 9: to be an ass kicker and McCarthy's neither. And and
- 12:16Speaker 9: that's why I said I thought he should have been
- 12:17Speaker 9: gone after the Green Bay game.
- 12:20Speaker 1: What what did you see from the game though, the
- 12:23Speaker 1: from the Sunday's game, What did you see from that? Like,
- 12:25Speaker 1: I mean, because because we heard the point, I mean,
- 12:29Speaker 1: we know, but let's it's Monday after the game, Like,
- 12:31Speaker 1: what did you think from this game that?
- 12:34Speaker 9: Well, the biggest thing in this game the dumb pre
- 12:37Speaker 9: stot penalties. Uh, Dalvin cook on on what is it?
- 12:42Speaker 9: Third and one and you're twelve men on the field.
- 12:48Speaker 9: Dighton is just you know, they had I've seen Richard's
- 12:53Speaker 9: in there for a minute. They should have left. And
- 12:55Speaker 9: then dan Is is just not ready to be a
- 12:59Speaker 9: starting left ackle.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Uh.
- 13:01Speaker 9: Steel just just bad. And it's funny, Dak, I thought
- 13:06Speaker 9: did what we talked about? Yeah, he ran, He played
- 13:10Speaker 9: like a young kid. Again. I thought he played good.
- 13:13Speaker 9: He missed some wide open guys.
- 13:17Speaker 5: Uh.
- 13:18Speaker 9: Usually you know when I hear them talk about but
- 13:20Speaker 9: the way they showed it because I think Greg Olsen
- 13:22Speaker 9: is the best in the in the game.
- 13:24Speaker 1: He's really good. He's really he's really good. It's unfortunate
- 13:27Speaker 1: what happened with you know, he got he had to
- 13:29Speaker 1: get replaced because Brady and all that. But he's really good.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I mean I watched him last night too. I thought
- 13:35Speaker 1: I was very impressed with with his He's.
- 13:37Speaker 9: Honest, you know, he and it's it's just that Jack Jack.
- 13:42Speaker 9: There's some guys open, but he's just not comfortable overshown.
- 13:47Speaker 9: I thought had a good game. He seemed like a
- 13:50Speaker 9: guy that was trying. It's like they're experimenting because you know,
- 13:55Speaker 9: there's just too many players. I got ceedee lamb. You know,
- 14:00Speaker 9: I love how these players say they don't listen that
- 14:04Speaker 9: they do because the knock on CD was you know,
- 14:07Speaker 9: a little soft no. The last two weeks in a row,
- 14:11Speaker 9: that kid played his heart out. Yesterday you saw he
- 14:14Speaker 9: was hurt. I should have put that ball in the
- 14:16Speaker 9: end zone. I don't care. But you know, I think
- 14:20Speaker 9: Ferguson has regressed. It's it's just the team is a
- 14:27Speaker 9: wreck and it stems. You know, the coach has something
- 14:31Speaker 9: to do with that is a huge thing to do
- 14:33Speaker 9: with that. I used to term he's dead man walking.
- 14:36Speaker 9: He he's not going to be there and they know
- 14:39Speaker 9: this there's no discipline. He's smashing the iPad. And and
- 14:45Speaker 9: now what are you going to do to trade deadline?
- 14:47Speaker 9: Now Jerry tries to blow spoke you know where, Well,
- 14:52Speaker 9: we're going to go. No, you're not. You'd be dumb
- 14:54Speaker 9: to try to build on this team when a new
- 14:57Speaker 9: head coach is coming, you on to self a draft picks.
- 15:01Speaker 9: That's what they should do, because you know he's not
- 15:04Speaker 9: gonna still just through free agency, So sell, sell some
- 15:08Speaker 9: of your players, see what you get, because you're gonna
- 15:11Speaker 9: need all the draft picks you could get for next year.
- 15:15Speaker 1: But all right, all right, well, I mean, yeah.
- 15:20Speaker 9: The wheels, the wheels are falling off.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Yeah, they're definitely, they're definitely. Yeah. I'm with you on
- 15:27Speaker 1: that part for sure, you know. And and that's that's
- 15:30Speaker 1: the thing, like I I understand, it's it's a big picture.
- 15:33Speaker 1: You know, it's a big picture. It's always big picture
- 15:35Speaker 1: around here. But you know, we got we got five
- 15:41Speaker 1: days to talk about you and the rest of the
- 15:42Speaker 1: stuff here and and and and reflect and all that stuff.
- 15:46Speaker 1: We can try to talk about the game as much
- 15:47Speaker 1: as possible. I'm sure there's a lot of callers that
- 15:50Speaker 1: that that have their their thoughts in it as well. Hey,
- 15:53Speaker 1: look I'm on TV. Sorry, I see the angle of
- 15:56Speaker 1: Jerry talking here from yesterday. Just just an emotional Jerry too.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I mean you could tell and you could tell that
- 16:04Speaker 1: that this is you know, I was actually sitting there
- 16:08Speaker 1: next to him yet and that interview and I and
- 16:12Speaker 1: I thought back to this show and how many times
- 16:15Speaker 1: I've heard Jerry doesn't care about winning all of that stuff,
- 16:20Speaker 1: you know, all I cared about making money and and
- 16:23Speaker 1: I actually thought about that right then and there, and
- 16:25Speaker 1: I'm like, watch this interview, watch this and just see
- 16:29Speaker 1: what you think like that that that football like doesn't
- 16:32Speaker 1: matter and the wins and losses doesn't matter. Sure, Jerry's
- 16:35Speaker 1: a businessman. He that's how that's how he got the job,
- 16:38Speaker 1: that's how that's how he owned the team. That's how
- 16:39Speaker 1: he's got his money and all that stuff and and
- 16:42Speaker 1: and that never left.
- 16:44Speaker 7: Uh.
- 16:44Speaker 1: And he's he's taking this franchise and taking it, you
- 16:46Speaker 1: know obviously to several different levels. But when it comes
- 16:52Speaker 1: to winning games. I mean that that that's never changed.
- 16:54Speaker 1: And so just listening to him, and I don't know
- 16:56Speaker 1: about it. If he's going to to buy or sell,
- 17:00Speaker 1: if you're gonna buy bye, I mean, like, don't rent.
- 17:04Speaker 1: That's I'm not I'm not for that. You don't need
- 17:07Speaker 1: to be renting a player to try to get you know,
- 17:10Speaker 1: try to help this season and move along and all that. Like,
- 17:13Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you would want to to
- 17:16Speaker 1: use a lot of draft capital to try to help
- 17:18Speaker 1: this team win. And it's probably gonna hurt your draft
- 17:21Speaker 1: capital if if if you make them better. Now, if
- 17:24Speaker 1: it's somebody that that you know, I've said this several times,
- 17:26Speaker 1: if it's somebody that that you think could could be
- 17:28Speaker 1: here long term or or at least, you know, past
- 17:31Speaker 1: this year, and it makes sense. But then I'm you know,
- 17:34Speaker 1: I'm fine with that as well. But uh, you know,
- 17:37Speaker 1: this was a team that yesterday was a tough loss,
- 17:39Speaker 1: and in a lot of ways it was tough. It
- 17:41Speaker 1: was really hard on them. You could tell it's hard
- 17:43Speaker 1: on Mike, and you see the frustration they're more than
- 17:45Speaker 1: ever saw Dax frustration, saw Jerry's I don't know about frustration.
- 17:50Speaker 1: You saw his emotions though. It was an emotional, frustrating game.
- 17:54Speaker 1: And uh, you know, but no one feels sorry for
- 17:57Speaker 1: I mean, Eagles don't feel sorry for him. You know,
- 17:59Speaker 1: here come the e and after that Houston. Those two
- 18:02Speaker 1: franchises right there would love nothing more than to come
- 18:05Speaker 1: and pile on and beat the Cowboys, So you know
- 18:08Speaker 1: they better figure it out real quick here, all right,
- 18:10Speaker 1: let's go to Bob in Rio Grand Valley or Nick
- 18:15Speaker 1: Hi Bob.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Well, yesterday's game was a frustrating affair. For certain, it
- 18:23Speaker 5: was a definitely frustrating for the head coach who was
- 18:28Speaker 5: calling the plays. Basically, he was reduced to calling plays
- 18:32Speaker 5: to try and keep us close so that we had
- 18:35Speaker 5: a chance to win.
- 18:36Speaker 9: In the end.
- 18:38Speaker 5: We're decimated by so many good players on injury or
- 18:45Speaker 5: injured reserve or just out injured. And let's be realistic, folks,
- 18:52Speaker 5: any hopes of the playoffs or anything beyond is well,
- 18:58Speaker 5: that's fine this guy. At this point, we're we're at
- 19:01Speaker 5: the point. We're at the point where we've got to
- 19:03Speaker 5: be thinking about the future and it's time for a
- 19:06Speaker 5: fire sale. It's time to get as many draft picks
- 19:10Speaker 5: tomorrow as we can it to for next year. It's
- 19:15Speaker 5: time to hold our better players, the uh uh, the
- 19:20Speaker 5: ones that are healthy enough to carry this team to
- 19:23Speaker 5: this point. It's time to give them some rest, save
- 19:27Speaker 5: them for next year and try and build for the future.
- 19:33Speaker 5: It with what we've got now, there's no point in
- 19:35Speaker 5: trying to rent players. That's just not gonna work.
- 19:40Speaker 1: So you're saying, set players, like even the healthy ones,
- 19:43Speaker 1: and try to rest up for next year.
- 19:46Speaker 5: I'm saying, keep them out of harm's way. It uh.
- 19:50Speaker 5: We we need to We need to stock the stockpile
- 19:53Speaker 5: as many draft choices as we can it uh. We
- 19:57Speaker 5: need to have enough draft choices to be able to
- 20:00Speaker 5: to trade we uh uh and swap it. We need
- 20:06Speaker 5: to be in a position to go into the next
- 20:08Speaker 5: season's draft drafting very high and draft for the future
- 20:13Speaker 5: it uh. And the future meaning getting some of the
- 20:17Speaker 5: best players in the draft that can come in and
- 20:20Speaker 5: help this team immediately.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Bob, do you think the coaching do you think? Uh?
- 20:26Speaker 1: If on that philosophy, do you think Mike McCarthy would
- 20:30Speaker 1: be here next year?
- 20:32Speaker 5: Yes? I do. I think Jerry Jones realizes that the
- 20:37Speaker 5: problems that this team are having are not related to
- 20:40Speaker 5: Mike McCartney. Uh. They're not Mike's fault. Yes, I question
- 20:45Speaker 5: his play calling at times, but I look at other
- 20:48Speaker 5: teams that are playing on the Sunday afternoon and Sunday
- 20:52Speaker 5: night and Monday night and Thursday night, and I see
- 20:56Speaker 5: the same thing in play calling it. Uh, Mike is
- 21:00Speaker 5: doing the best he can with what he's got. And
- 21:04Speaker 5: if you don't have it to do with what what
- 21:07Speaker 5: can you do. He's not responsible for players being injured
- 21:12Speaker 5: or hurt. That's not his responsibility. Now to the assistant coaches, well,
- 21:19Speaker 5: they're not doing their job, they're not getting look at guiding.
- 21:23Speaker 5: My gosh, what a disappointment that guy's been. You can't
- 21:28Speaker 5: tell me that the problems that he's got are not coachable.
- 21:32Speaker 7: They are.
- 21:33Speaker 5: He's got too much talent. He was too good when
- 21:35Speaker 5: he was at Oklahoma. And if he's not gonna work
- 21:38Speaker 5: out as the left tackle, the by god put him
- 21:40Speaker 5: on the right side. Go from there. But I mean,
- 21:45Speaker 5: he's the most penalized player to own our team. He
- 21:49Speaker 5: makes the stupidest mistakes of anybody on our team. And
- 21:53Speaker 5: that's disappointing to me because I expected so much out
- 21:56Speaker 5: of it. We all did.
- 21:57Speaker 1: He's going to be You don't think he'll be fine.
- 22:00Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I mean, I think he will
- 22:02Speaker 1: be fine. Tyler Smith had more penalties than anybody in
- 22:05Speaker 1: the NFL. His first few I mean the first few
- 22:08Speaker 1: games he figured it out. I think I think Giton
- 22:11Speaker 1: will figure it out. That he's good. There's some things
- 22:13Speaker 1: to figure out for him, though, discipline wise, he's gonna
- 22:15Speaker 1: have to to get there.
- 22:17Speaker 5: Nick, he doesn't need to be starting right now. I'm
- 22:20Speaker 5: not saying not.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Probably not if they had a better option. He I mean,
- 22:25Speaker 1: maybe maybe not. I don't know if I disagree with
- 22:27Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if i'll I'll disagree with that,
- 22:30Speaker 1: But you know, you know I'm gonna go ahead.
- 22:33Speaker 5: I'm going I'm going at the rest of the season
- 22:35Speaker 5: like this. They're my cowboys. I'm gonna watch him, I'm
- 22:38Speaker 5: gonna support him. I'm going to take some enjoyment and
- 22:42Speaker 5: seeing some good plays made and seeing the development of
- 22:47Speaker 5: some of the players that we've got now that are backups.
- 22:50Speaker 5: And uh, I'm not gonna be disappointed when the Eagles
- 22:55Speaker 5: kick out, But like Grant Tuck Richmond, I'm not gonna
- 22:57Speaker 5: be disappointed when probably Texans gon and do the same.
- 23:00Speaker 7: Now.
- 23:00Speaker 5: I think it is what it is. We've got to
- 23:04Speaker 5: live with it, and we've got to find a way
- 23:08Speaker 5: to get through it and survive. And from my standpoint,
- 23:12Speaker 5: a fire sale, collecting draft choices for next year, trying
- 23:17Speaker 5: to save this and by fire sale, we need to
- 23:20Speaker 5: get cap space. We're going to have to let some
- 23:23Speaker 5: players go that we don't want to let go because
- 23:26Speaker 5: we need to save the during money. That this is
- 23:29Speaker 5: business and it's got to be run like a business.
- 23:33Speaker 5: Hey calling in. I'm very emotional and I care about
- 23:39Speaker 5: my team. I appreciate It've got to be made.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Bob uh. Let's let's take a break

- 25:44Speaker 1: the phone lines. Here, we've got Carolina in South Carolina,
- 25:48Speaker 1: South Carolina.
- 25:50Speaker 7: What's going on?
- 25:52Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 25:53Speaker 7: Man? I don't know how feel man. You know, I
- 25:56Speaker 7: said I was going to the games. I watched it
- 26:02Speaker 7: happen in person. Okay, yeah, it was a it was
- 26:05Speaker 7: a really good time. But man, I just I don't know.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Man.
- 26:10Speaker 7: It's the it's the defensive line in office life. We
- 26:13Speaker 7: have my ten. I think that's where we're like, I'm
- 26:17Speaker 7: green with Nate. We can't okay, hold on Son, we
- 26:21Speaker 7: can't do nothing if we can't get our offensive line
- 26:24Speaker 7: and our defense line together. There's a couple of players
- 26:27Speaker 7: where we're literally a sack of on fourth down, on
- 26:31Speaker 7: third down, and that was it was a third game.
- 26:35Speaker 12: Multiple times.
- 26:36Speaker 7: Chenal T's like, Rob said, you know, I want to
- 26:38Speaker 7: disagree a Rob when he said that, you know that
- 26:42Speaker 7: Ferguson is he's what he say digressed. I don't I
- 26:46Speaker 7: don't believe Fergus Agress. It's the fact that Dak has
- 26:49Speaker 7: to run for his life barely get the ball out.
- 26:51Speaker 7: It's hard for.
- 26:52Speaker 13: Him to catch the pass.
- 26:53Speaker 7: He can barely get it out, actlea or get some
- 26:55Speaker 7: posision on it, you know what I mean That all
- 26:58Speaker 7: plays count. I do want to say one thing I always,
- 27:01Speaker 7: you know, say that does a really good job, you know,
- 27:04Speaker 7: saying you know, he strong and it's okay, we got
- 27:08Speaker 7: to get better. How do you feel about him being
- 27:11Speaker 7: you know, video said that we have himself. Hey, I
- 27:16Speaker 7: just want to know your opinion on that.
- 27:18Speaker 1: All right, thanks, And I think that's what the thanks
- 27:22Speaker 1: for the call. I think that's what the one of
- 27:23Speaker 1: the first callers was was alluding to. Again, I didn't
- 27:27Speaker 1: see that, but I mean I don't I don't have
- 27:33Speaker 1: a problem with him saying that kind of stuff in
- 27:35Speaker 1: them in the moment. I mean, if that's what he feels,
- 27:39Speaker 1: if that's if that's how it feels. I mean, you know,
- 27:42Speaker 1: they they haven't been they weren't good. They weren't good
- 27:46Speaker 1: yesterday and and you know he he thought this team
- 27:50Speaker 1: would be a lot better than that. So to be
- 27:52Speaker 1: at three and five, you know, maybe that's that's his
- 27:56Speaker 1: interpretation of of that. If that three and five sucks,
- 27:59Speaker 1: because it does. I mean, there's there's no doubt about it.
- 28:01Speaker 1: It sucks. But but you know, I just think it'd
- 28:07Speaker 1: be real funny if if the media and the fans
- 28:11Speaker 1: jump on that comment and think something different from Dak
- 28:16Speaker 1: when they probably said the same thing. If they feel
- 28:19Speaker 1: that way, if they said that way, then listen, listen
- 28:21Speaker 1: and leave it alone. I mean, he's he's the quarterback
- 28:24Speaker 1: of this team. Uh, you know, he's he's held to
- 28:27Speaker 1: a higher standard. But but like I've said before, nobody's
- 28:30Speaker 1: more committed to the team than that. And if there's
- 28:33Speaker 1: any way he can go play against the Eagles, he'll play.
- 28:36Speaker 1: So I don't, you know, I don't think there's anything.
- 28:39Speaker 1: I think we're making way too much of that. You know,
- 28:43Speaker 1: they in his mind, they probably he probably felt like
- 28:47Speaker 1: they did suck yesterday and and I could promise you
- 28:51Speaker 1: his feelings are that them sitting there three and five
- 28:55Speaker 1: ef it sucks. So you add it all up together,
- 28:58Speaker 1: that is what it is. I mean, I don't we
- 29:00Speaker 1: can ask him about that next time he talks. Let's
- 29:03Speaker 1: go to Travis and San Antonio.
- 29:06Speaker 14: Hey, Nick, what's going on. I'm doing good. I'm going
- 29:09Speaker 14: to co sign our quarterbacks comments and say we beep
- 29:13Speaker 14: and suck. But Nick, but I'm going to say this,
- 29:16Speaker 14: but your show is the best, and I'm going to
- 29:18Speaker 14: hang my hat on that. So it's little things and
- 29:21Speaker 14: and I'm taking the the kind of approach like what
- 29:23Speaker 14: you're what you're getting at with that, Like I don't
- 29:26Speaker 14: I'm not like putting too much. I actually told I've
- 29:28Speaker 14: sold some people that I actually appreciate him saying it
- 29:30Speaker 14: because like it's sort of like, hey, he's with us,
- 29:33Speaker 14: he's not. It's almost like a he's not blowing smoke
- 29:35Speaker 14: with they know where they're at type of thing. So
- 29:37Speaker 14: it's kind of acknowledgement of like, all right, we just
- 29:39Speaker 14: we this is where we're at. We have to try
- 29:41Speaker 14: and dig out of this. But do I think we're
- 29:43Speaker 14: going to Probably not as far as the game goes.
- 29:47Speaker 14: I mean, Rob and I disagree because I know he
- 29:50Speaker 14: mentioned Jake regressing a little bit, but I've made the
- 29:55Speaker 14: comment to a bunch of people that it's hard for
- 29:57Speaker 14: him to have a progression type of season when he
- 30:00Speaker 14: when he's your swing tackle, Nick, and he's uh, he's
- 30:02Speaker 14: having to help out both tackles every other play. Yeah,
- 30:04Speaker 14: So I mean that doesn't really give him as many
- 30:07Speaker 14: receiving options as the Kelsey's and those type of guys.
- 30:11Speaker 14: So I mean, we gotta be fair, like I mean,
- 30:13Speaker 14: if he's having to help out Guidon, then he has
- 30:15Speaker 14: to go help out Terrence and vice versa. So I
- 30:19Speaker 14: thought the defense again this week, I thought the defense
- 30:22Speaker 14: give them credit, like you know, under severely under man.
- 30:24Speaker 14: I thought they did what we thought they were going
- 30:26Speaker 14: to do, which is a fight and been played above.
- 30:30Speaker 14: I think what we what we expect. We always know,
- 30:33Speaker 14: like they're so limited, right like at some point the
- 30:36Speaker 14: damn is going to break on that side and that's
- 30:38Speaker 14: not a shot against them, it's just that's just the attrition, right,
- 30:40Speaker 14: But they came out, they came out playing well.
- 30:44Speaker 1: It just sucks.
- 30:44Speaker 14: It is what it is. I do, Hope, I don't
- 30:47Speaker 14: see what you think about this, because it's if the
- 30:52Speaker 14: hamstring in the hand, the hand is sort of an
- 30:55Speaker 14: under the under the radar type of thing. But I
- 30:57Speaker 14: know they've mentioned on the broadcast with Beck, but if
- 31:00Speaker 14: his hamstring it as bad as he made it sound,
- 31:02Speaker 14: where you know, he's never felt that before and it
- 31:04Speaker 14: doesn't bode well for him trying to give it a go.
- 31:08Speaker 14: And I know I'm gonna be the first person to
- 31:10Speaker 14: bring it up. People might roll their eyes, but like
- 31:12Speaker 14: we sort of know what Cooper rushes. And I'm my guess, Nick,
- 31:16Speaker 14: is that they're gonna roll Cooper rush out there because
- 31:19Speaker 14: Jerry said what he said about like we still got
- 31:21Speaker 14: a chance. But honestly, I'm kind of here for the chaos, Nick,
- 31:26Speaker 14: Like at least we could have some fun, Like if
- 31:28Speaker 14: it's we get some zone read from Lance and and
- 31:31Speaker 14: Douce spawn, I mean, just why not, Like at this point,
- 31:34Speaker 14: it's not it's not so much a shot. It's just
- 31:37Speaker 14: like we kind of know what Cooper rushes, right, so
- 31:40Speaker 14: like let's see something different. Give the guy a chance
- 31:42Speaker 14: he needs to play anyways, If Dak is out for
- 31:45Speaker 14: a signific amount of time, I mean, our chances aren't
- 31:47Speaker 14: great anyways, right, So I just wanted to be thought
- 31:49Speaker 14: on that. Yeah, but like I said, your show, no
- 31:51Speaker 14: matter what, no matter what what happens with the games,
- 31:53Speaker 14: this show is great, and I'll hang my hat on that.
- 31:55Speaker 14: So thank you everybody.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Thank you for saying that. Travis. And let me say
- 31:59Speaker 1: this as a disclaimer about this show and how much
- 32:03Speaker 1: people will like it or whatever. I there's there's what
- 32:08Speaker 1: eight nine games left now there, We're gonna keep going here.
- 32:12Speaker 1: I mean, all of these shows, will this show, all
- 32:15Speaker 1: of them? Will the fire sell stuff that some of
- 32:20Speaker 1: the other callers sell this all that that might happen.
- 32:23Speaker 1: If it happens, it happens, whatever it is. But you know,
- 32:28Speaker 1: they gotta go beat the Eagles. That's what they gotta do.
- 32:30Speaker 1: They gotta go beat the Eagles. Roll your eyes if
- 32:33Speaker 1: you want to. That's what they've got to do. Okay,
- 32:37Speaker 1: those awesome Jacksonville Jaguars were knocking on the door to
- 32:40Speaker 1: beat them in Philly. Don't don't tell me that it
- 32:43Speaker 1: can't happen. Okay, it can. Houston. They they've lost a
- 32:48Speaker 1: couple of games too, like the teams that they shouldn't.
- 32:51Speaker 1: This is the NFL. Go beat Philly. So that if
- 32:55Speaker 1: Dak's not there, Okay, well, Cooper Rush you're the quarterback.
- 32:58Speaker 1: But I'm with you, Travis. I would definitely start Cooper
- 33:02Speaker 1: Rush if he if he has to play. If Dak
- 33:04Speaker 1: doesn't play, I start Cooper Rush. But my my backup
- 33:07Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna play like you're not taking Dak off
- 33:10Speaker 1: the field on third and goal from the five or whatever.
- 33:14Speaker 1: I'll think Cooper Rush off the field and put Trey
- 33:16Speaker 1: Lance in to do something different, do some things like that.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Sure I would do that. I mean I would trick
- 33:22Speaker 1: it up in that way. Your for your two quarterbacks
- 33:25Speaker 1: could play in that in that scenario. So I would
- 33:27Speaker 1: definitely be fine in a situation like that. I hope
- 33:31Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, but if it does, it doesn't. You know,
- 33:34Speaker 1: we've seen the Cowboys rally around Cooper Rush before. The
- 33:36Speaker 1: problem is is that the defense right now isn't good
- 33:40Speaker 1: enough to be the one to rally anybody. So that
- 33:43Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be a problem there. But yeah, if
- 33:47Speaker 1: it has to happen that way, then it has to happen.
- 33:49Speaker 1: But but my point is that my focus on this
- 33:52Speaker 1: show will always be I mean, they gotta gotta go
- 33:55Speaker 1: eyes forward. I mean, as a fan, you can do
- 33:59Speaker 1: that because you're fan, and you've been here and and
- 34:02Speaker 1: and your Cowboy fandom is you've committed. You're committed to it.
- 34:06Speaker 1: So it's not going anywhere. You'll, hey, let's let's get
- 34:10Speaker 1: better for next year. But these coaches, these players, they
- 34:14Speaker 1: don't have that luxury, and and neither none of us
- 34:17Speaker 1: really do. So we're gonna keep focusing on that. And
- 34:21Speaker 1: and that's kind of one of those like it or
- 34:22Speaker 1: not type things. It's gonna be about Eagles. It's gonna
- 34:25Speaker 1: be about the next game. That's the way it's gonna be.
- 34:27Speaker 1: I'm you know, if they want to start up a
- 34:29Speaker 1: draft show, they could do that at some point, and
- 34:32Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be some talks about doing that,
- 34:34Speaker 1: but that's not what That's not what this show is
- 34:37Speaker 1: going to be about. So all right, let's go to
- 34:39Speaker 1: Sebastian and Savannah Georgia.
- 34:42Speaker 12: Good morning, even how you doing good?
- 34:44Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 34:45Speaker 12: Hey, I'm doing just fine.
- 34:47Speaker 5: Listen.
- 34:47Speaker 12: I don't suit up and I don't play, so when
- 34:49Speaker 12: this stuff happens, I can go on with my life
- 34:52Speaker 12: feeling okay. It's got to be tough for the players.
- 34:54Speaker 12: Senior leader get injured, seeing CD out there hobbling around.
- 34:58Speaker 12: So in your opinion, it's not time to hit the
- 35:00Speaker 12: panty button unless we can't get it done this upcoming week.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Right, No, you can? Okay, what does that mean? Though?
- 35:08Speaker 1: With the pain?
- 35:09Speaker 12: I say yeah when I say hit the panting button.
- 35:11Speaker 12: Is the season through? Are we talking about putting like
- 35:14Speaker 12: they were saying earlier, playing Tredy Lance on the field
- 35:16Speaker 12: and stuff like that. Are we still in this?
- 35:19Speaker 7: You know?
- 35:19Speaker 12: Because when we're not in it, then you hit the
- 35:21Speaker 12: panty button, it's over with and then you start talking
- 35:23Speaker 12: about the firestone stuff like that.
- 35:25Speaker 1: But the problems feel like they're in it. Jerry McCarthy.
- 35:29Speaker 1: They they are still in it.
- 35:31Speaker 5: They're in it.
- 35:31Speaker 1: So the guys making the decisions and playing the game
- 35:34Speaker 1: are in it. So fans can do whatever they want.
- 35:37Speaker 1: I've seen it already already this morning. They're done. Put
- 35:40Speaker 1: a fork in them. That's cool. They can say that,
- 35:42Speaker 1: they can move on to the NBA or whatever else
- 35:44Speaker 1: they want to talk about because they can do that.
- 35:46Speaker 1: But for the Cowboys, for the players making the decisions,
- 35:49Speaker 1: and I mean the guys making decisions, the guys playing,
- 35:51Speaker 1: they are in it.
- 35:53Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 12: So do you agree with the putting CD Lamb on
- 35:59Speaker 12: the field at the end of the game when when
- 36:01Speaker 12: we were down two scorers. I feel like, had it
- 36:03Speaker 12: been one score out of been okay with it, but
- 36:05Speaker 12: he was he seemed really really hurt. And don't you
- 36:07Speaker 12: have to protect your player and your investment a little
- 36:09Speaker 12: bit more than that. From McCarthy's standpoint, I.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Think that the trainers, the trainers make that call. I
- 36:16Speaker 1: mean like like they again, a shoulder injury. We've seen
- 36:21Speaker 1: it with Emmitt Smith, Okay, I mean most of the
- 36:24Speaker 1: trainers there were there kind of like all right, m it,
- 36:27Speaker 1: you know, because it was the shoulder's brain people have that,
- 36:29Speaker 1: people deal with that. There's been a lot made about
- 36:32Speaker 1: that game and that type of injury. Now, as a
- 36:35Speaker 1: wide receiver going up to catch a ball, that's a
- 36:38Speaker 1: little bit different. You're you're playing through the pain. I
- 36:41Speaker 1: think that injury is one where it's probably not you're
- 36:44Speaker 1: not going to hurt yourself as much. If that was
- 36:47Speaker 1: the case, they wouldn't have put him out there. We
- 36:49Speaker 1: just saw it. We just saw it ten minutes earlier
- 36:51Speaker 1: with that, you know. Yeah, So I think it's different,
- 36:54Speaker 1: different types of injuries, and the I mean credit him
- 36:59Speaker 1: for are going out there for sure. For sure, there's
- 37:03Speaker 1: a few guys that I think people think, oh, well,
- 37:06Speaker 1: he just got paid, he's good, you know. Digs CD,
- 37:10Speaker 1: I mean digs had a calf injury that it was
- 37:13Speaker 1: a game time decision lined up and played, you know,
- 37:17Speaker 1: all right, And I just.
- 37:18Speaker 12: Have one last thing, right uh, with this whole coaching
- 37:21Speaker 12: staff thing. Honestly, we can't just keep moving on from coaches.
- 37:26Speaker 12: You have to have some sort of continuity. But what
- 37:28Speaker 12: I feel needs to happen is internally, from the front
- 37:32Speaker 12: office on down, they need to sit down and have
- 37:34Speaker 12: a real discussion about changing some of their thought processes,
- 37:37Speaker 12: from how we approach free agency to how we approach
- 37:40Speaker 12: the draft, because two drafts in a row right now,
- 37:43Speaker 12: they're not delivering well enough to get us over that hump,
- 37:45Speaker 12: and I feel like we're starting to get left behind
- 37:48Speaker 12: by a lot of the NFC. Everyone is caught up
- 37:51Speaker 12: to us and some people are even starting to.
- 37:52Speaker 5: Surpass us at this point.
- 37:53Speaker 12: So there needs to be some fundamental changes in the
- 37:56Speaker 12: off season going forward. But we can't just keep firing coaches,
- 37:58Speaker 12: because you got to think we fire McCarthy, more than
- 38:01Speaker 12: likely Chris has to go with him. Who's the secondary coach.
- 38:03Speaker 12: He's a phenomenal secondary coach. The domino effect that's going
- 38:07Speaker 12: to happen from getting rid of McCarthy is different from
- 38:10Speaker 12: what happens when you get rid of a guy or
- 38:12Speaker 12: you let someone move on like the one who went
- 38:14Speaker 12: over to Washington, which for dan Quinn, like when you
- 38:16Speaker 12: let the dan.
- 38:17Speaker 5: Quinn move on.
- 38:18Speaker 12: It's completely different than firing your head coach. The domino
- 38:20Speaker 12: effect could be very, very poor, and you're just going
- 38:23Speaker 12: to bring a new guy into this exact same mess
- 38:26Speaker 12: that we're dealing with right now. They're gonna have to
- 38:27Speaker 12: fix this slightly differently from moving on from a McCarthy.
- 38:30Speaker 12: I don't think that that's the answer, but you guys
- 38:32Speaker 12: have a great day. Listen for Cowboys Nation. Man, we're
- 38:36Speaker 12: all still breathing, we're all still doing well. Keep rooting
- 38:38Speaker 12: for the team and hopefully we can eke out some
- 38:40Speaker 12: wins that maybe we shouldn't have and we'll see how
- 38:42Speaker 12: this ends.

- 40:28Speaker 1: What how you doing?
- 40:30Speaker 13: I'm all right. Oh, yesterday it was my forty first birthday.
- 40:37Speaker 1: And happy birthday to you, big present from the Cowboys.
- 40:43Speaker 13: Yeah, I heard a caller stay here at eighty the
- 40:47Speaker 13: other day and that is day and life kind of
- 40:50Speaker 13: revolves around the Cowboys watching all the shows, and that's
- 40:55Speaker 13: kind of how my day was. I kind of was
- 40:56Speaker 13: seeing what they were going to do. I told my kids,
- 40:58Speaker 13: I said, let's see where they're at at halftime. You know,
- 41:01Speaker 13: that'll kind of see where we go. Let's go watch
- 41:03Speaker 13: him at a place where I could watch it on
- 41:05Speaker 13: TV and need some wings or something. Well, then the
- 41:08Speaker 13: fourteen they kind of had me thinking it was gonna.
- 41:11Speaker 7: Be all right?
- 41:13Speaker 13: What do they do? They get the ball that first
- 41:15Speaker 13: drive and is that I don't know if that's when
- 41:18Speaker 13: they had the fake punt or the fourth and one.
- 41:20Speaker 13: We couldn't get either way. We turned it over and
- 41:24Speaker 13: they go and score, and that's kind of how I
- 41:27Speaker 13: feel the season's gone, it's Mercy's loss. Something's gonna go bad.
- 41:32Speaker 13: It's going to go bad. For the prime example that
- 41:35Speaker 13: fourth and one, we need a yard and the player
- 41:37Speaker 13: who went got in the offseason for that is not
- 41:40Speaker 13: active because of his mission meetings or whatever it was.
- 41:44Speaker 13: He didn't travel with the team. It just seems like
- 41:48Speaker 13: this year's like that something's bad is gonna happen. It
- 41:52Speaker 13: is happened. And the one good when we had against
- 41:56Speaker 13: the Steelers, I didn't even get to watch it because
- 41:58Speaker 13: it was on at twelve o'clock at night. And yuh
- 42:01Speaker 13: that's just hos going the ship.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Yeah all right, well yeah, it's it's there's years like that.
- 42:07Speaker 1: There's years that sometimes you catch lightning in the bottle.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Sometimes every single thing goes against them, and uh, it's
- 42:14Speaker 1: happening right now. I mean with with these with these injuries,
- 42:17Speaker 1: I mean when you just think about just the guys
- 42:20Speaker 1: that that are banged up, uh you know, I mean
- 42:25Speaker 1: that missed the game, Parsons, d law Cooks, Bland, Neeland. Yeah,
- 42:33Speaker 1: I'm probably missing some there and then and then to
- 42:36Speaker 1: have Doak and CD both banged up. Uh, it's it's
- 42:41Speaker 1: it's just stuff. It's when it rains at pours. It
- 42:43Speaker 1: really is like, let's go one more caller here, Robbie
- 42:45Speaker 1: Cocoa Beach, Florida. Robbie, what's up?
- 42:48Speaker 2: Oh Nick, We didn't do forty two seventeen man, like
- 42:51Speaker 2: we were supposed to do.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Brother, Is that what you picked?
- 42:54Speaker 2: That's what I picked. I tell you what, though, Man,
- 42:57Speaker 2: I still don't hope. Man. I'm i'm I love Rob
- 42:59Speaker 2: and I love from Vegas and Dylan from Northport. They're
- 43:03Speaker 2: all great. I disagree with the fire cell.
- 43:05Speaker 7: Man.
- 43:06Speaker 2: You fight till the end, and the guy showed us that.
- 43:08Speaker 2: I mean, look at Ceedee Lamb. You went out there
- 43:10Speaker 2: and was playing. You could tell it's hurt. Yeah, and
- 43:13Speaker 2: then you said it. It reminded me of them. Then that
- 43:15Speaker 2: nineties Yeah two against the Giants. It's great man to
- 43:20Speaker 2: see that fight in him.
- 43:21Speaker 5: So I still have hope. Man.
- 43:22Speaker 2: The season's not over. The games are too close.
- 43:25Speaker 7: Any given someday anybody can lead and win.
- 43:29Speaker 2: But I want to say, at the beginning of that
- 43:32Speaker 2: game that first series we stopped him, I was like,
- 43:34Speaker 2: oh wow, look pretty solid. The second series we drove
- 43:38Speaker 2: down the field, we marched and I went, oh, man,
- 43:41Speaker 2: we're going to gore a touchdown and we're gonna get
- 43:42Speaker 2: forty two seventeen, Like I.
- 43:44Speaker 1: Just read it.
- 43:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it did for a second and then yeah, and
- 43:47Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, yeah, kicking field goals again.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's the running game, you know. It's just
- 43:54Speaker 1: like the lack of you run. Yeah, you try, you're moving,
- 43:58Speaker 1: you're moving, you're moving. Then you run the ball and
- 43:59Speaker 1: you get one and you get two or whatever, and
- 44:02Speaker 1: that's that's kind of that's what happens.
- 44:06Speaker 2: You and I have both said it from the beginning
- 44:08Speaker 2: of the season are running games. Think, yeah, we need something.
- 44:13Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the line or the running
- 44:15Speaker 2: backs all the combination of both, but yeah, we could
- 44:19Speaker 2: some help there.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Yeah, well, please.
- 44:22Speaker 2: No fire or sell Jerry.
- 44:23Speaker 1: All right, we'll see what happens tomorrow.
- 44:25Speaker 5: Too many guys. Yeah, we'll see.
- 44:27Speaker 1: We'll see if they they do that, but uh, I
- 44:29Speaker 1: don't know. Jerry sounded like they're they're gonna do something
- 44:33Speaker 1: to add some pieces, So we'll see. We'll we'll see
- 44:35Speaker 1: what happens. Uh whatever. Whatever. If he does nothing, he'll
- 44:41Speaker 1: be criticized. If he's if he adds players, he'll be criticized.
- 44:46Speaker 1: If he doesn't, he'll be criticized. I mean, it's the
- 44:48Speaker 1: way the way it goes, all right, Beam and I
- 44:51Speaker 1: figured it out. I think I think that. I think
- 44:54Speaker 1: they they found the sun is what he said. We
- 44:56Speaker 1: found the sun. That's what I took. I saw the
- 44:58Speaker 1: clip there, so you know there's there was a little
- 45:02Speaker 1: kid messing we found the sun. I think that's what happened.
- 45:04Speaker 1: I don't know something like that. Either way, I don't
- 45:08Speaker 1: care what he said, Like like, it's a frustrating time,
- 45:11Speaker 1: and uh, he probably said nothing different than what a
- 45:15Speaker 1: lot of people, uh fans, media players have said or
- 45:19Speaker 1: are saying about this team. But if there is somebody
- 45:22Speaker 1: that's gonna gonna help get it figured out, it's that
- 45:25Speaker 1: it's that guy right there in the clip, Dak Prescott,
- 45:27Speaker 1: and so he's gonna do whatever he can to get
- 45:29Speaker 1: on the field. All right, Guys, appreciate the clud not
- 45:31Speaker 1: it's a tough day. And I know we don't always
- 45:33Speaker 1: see the same we don't always agree on everything on
- 45:36Speaker 1: what to do and all that. And got to remember
- 45:37Speaker 1: everyone's got different roles, different agendas of what they can do.
- 45:41Speaker 1: You know what I mean, you want people want to
- 45:42Speaker 1: give up, jump Off, Jump Off. We'll be here tomorrow.
- 45:45Speaker 1: I promise you that will be here tomorrow on Cowboys
- 45:47Speaker 1: storyline for sure. So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Keapman.
- 45:49Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow on storylines. He guys.
- 45:51Speaker 4: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 45:54Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
