- 1:33Speaker 3: but from you know, we're all excited to hear about
- 1:35Speaker 3: the Rangers and the Astros and all that. But you know,
- 1:38Speaker 3: just mentally, to give up a home run like that
- 1:41Speaker 3: and lose it on Friday night, I hadn't. I had
- 1:44Speaker 3: There's no way they were going to win that game, No,
- 1:46Speaker 3: no way at all. And they did. They came back
- 1:48Speaker 3: and they won nine to two. And so now they
- 1:51Speaker 3: played to night. And you know, there's another little trend
- 1:54Speaker 3: going on too. I've noticed this too, because I you know,

- 2:45Speaker 3: gonna get right to it. Let's get to the calls.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Let's start it off here in New Mexico. We got
- 2:48Speaker 3: Gary in New Mexico.
- 2:50Speaker 5: What's up man, Hey, Nick, how are you doing?
- 2:52Speaker 3: I'm good man. You're on with Nate Newton at.
- 2:55Speaker 6: Nate Newton, one of my favorite players of all time. Man,
- 2:57Speaker 6: it's good to talk to you, Yes, sir, today's the
- 3:01Speaker 6: twenty third, Nick, give me a famous number twenty No,
- 3:03Speaker 6: I'm not a famous.
- 3:04Speaker 7: Give me a good number twenty three from Cowboys History
- 3:07Speaker 7: James Jones.
- 3:08Speaker 3: He was a running back back in the eighties. Who's
- 3:11Speaker 3: your guy?
- 3:13Speaker 6: James Jones running back eighty to eighty five, threw a
- 3:16Speaker 6: touchdown fast to Danny White against the Cleveland Browns when
- 3:18Speaker 6: I was in the grade.
- 3:20Speaker 3: I have a funny story about that. I think it's fun.
- 3:23Speaker 3: I don't know. Let me, I don't know. I have
- 3:25Speaker 3: a story about that. But anyway, we'll talk about later.
- 3:27Speaker 3: So what what's your what's your question? You got one?
- 3:32Speaker 6: Yes, real quick question. I think it's time we see
- 3:36Speaker 6: more of Jayalen Tolbert and less of Michael Gallup.
- 3:39Speaker 7: What are y'all thoughts on that?
- 3:41Speaker 8: All?
- 3:42Speaker 3: Right? More Tobert less Gallup.
- 3:46Speaker 4: So Cowboys five and one, No, four and two, four
- 3:51Speaker 4: and two, Well, I just had I had largely in
- 3:54Speaker 4: mind that they would be five and one at this time,
- 3:56Speaker 4: but it didn't work, Arizona. So you got two more games,
- 4:00Speaker 4: two more games before I make that radical change to Tober.
- 4:05Speaker 3: And when I go with Tober, I'm going.
- 4:07Speaker 4: All the way. Yeah, shout. I don't believe in in
- 4:10Speaker 4: the ramp up. I believe it's if Michael Gallup can't
- 4:14Speaker 4: give you what you desire, now I have to go
- 4:17Speaker 4: with a young guy, but I have to go. Jimmy
- 4:19Speaker 4: taught me that we ain't looking back, that we'll fit
- 4:22Speaker 4: you in as the game go on. Gallup, but this
- 4:25Speaker 4: is tober is my third receiver now, all right?
- 4:27Speaker 3: All right? Yeah, eight games in and I'm kind of
- 4:32Speaker 3: Gallup's one of those guys where you can't give up on.
- 4:35Speaker 3: This always surprises you. You know, as soon as you
- 4:37Speaker 3: think he's done, you know where he's not gonna do anything.
- 4:39Speaker 9: He does.
- 4:40Speaker 3: He makes big plays, you know at times, and you
- 4:43Speaker 3: know it's hard to count on him. But also it's
- 4:45Speaker 3: hard to get to discount discount and that's true. You know,
- 4:48Speaker 3: it's funny that guy said that about James Jones. I
- 4:51Speaker 3: do have kind of a funny story. You think, real quick,
- 4:54Speaker 3: you think we were. I was on a bus going
- 4:56Speaker 3: to I think we're in Atlanta going to the game.
- 4:59Speaker 3: And it was the afternoon game, so there's some games
- 5:00Speaker 3: being played in the day and Danny White is doing
- 5:04Speaker 3: a game, a game for I guess it's a compass radio.
- 5:08Speaker 3: I think that's what he does. So he's on our
- 5:11Speaker 3: bus and somebody threw a touchdown to a quarterback and
- 5:14Speaker 3: so they're talking. Baby Bluffenberg's like Danny jaf ketchwornings like, yeah,
- 5:17Speaker 3: I caught two, caught too. And I'm sitting right next
- 5:19Speaker 3: to him on the bus. I'm like, I got two.
- 5:21Speaker 3: He's like yeah. Ron Springs threw me one and eighty
- 5:23Speaker 3: three and then eighty five against the Browns, Tony dor
- 5:27Speaker 3: Set threw one and I said, are you was it
- 5:31Speaker 3: Tony do Set? I thought it was James Jones. He's like, no,
- 5:32Speaker 3: Tony dor Set threw it to me and I'm like, oh,
- 5:35Speaker 3: you know, I'm nine years old at the time, so
- 5:37Speaker 3: why would I know, and you're the one that caught it.
- 5:39Speaker 3: But he was like, yeah, Tony dor Set, And I
- 5:41Speaker 3: was like, I really thought it was James Jones. And
- 5:43Speaker 3: so anyway, so whatever, you know, We're driving down the
- 5:46Speaker 3: road a little bit and then Tony Danny stops and goes,
- 5:49Speaker 3: you know what, I think it might have been James Jones.
- 5:53Speaker 3: You know, you might be right. He's like, will you
- 5:55Speaker 3: look it up for him? I was like, already looked
- 5:57Speaker 3: it up, Danny, it was James Jones. But no, it's
- 5:59Speaker 3: all good, big deal. You know, he's the one that
- 6:01Speaker 3: caught it. But I you know, I remembered it. He
- 6:03Speaker 3: got hit by Clay Matthews in the end zone for
- 6:05Speaker 3: a touchdown in that game. But it's just funny how
- 6:08Speaker 3: sometimes you know, and Danny remember that, Yeah, Danny took
- 6:11Speaker 3: a few hits every now and again, but yeah, caught
- 6:14Speaker 3: two touchdowns. Would be kind of cool to see a quarterback,
- 6:17Speaker 3: uh catch a touchdown every now and again. But then again,
- 6:21Speaker 3: you know, people don't even want you know, Dak. They
- 6:23Speaker 3: don't want Dak to run that much. I don't know
- 6:25Speaker 3: about him catching passes down the field. But anyways, all right,
- 6:29Speaker 3: that was my story there on that famous twenty choice
- 6:32Speaker 3: is also a pretty good twenty three at like Shart choice.
- 6:35Speaker 3: All right, Chris in Mississippi, you're next, Chris?
- 6:37Speaker 10: What's up hey there?
- 6:39Speaker 7: Nick?
- 6:41Speaker 3: How you doing?
- 6:41Speaker 11: Man?
- 6:42Speaker 10: I used to I used to call hanging the boys
- 6:44Speaker 10: before y'all put the mouth of the southh one there,
- 6:46Speaker 10: and y'all had to stop the callers.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Just to let k Yes, sir, I understand. We deal
- 6:51Speaker 4: with that all the time. We got him in therapy,
- 6:53Speaker 4: I got every wee.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Okay, I love it.
- 6:56Speaker 10: So so two comments here and then a quick question
- 6:59Speaker 10: for night. I gonna get off here and let other
- 7:01Speaker 10: people talk. One comment is please please please keep letting
- 7:07Speaker 10: back seeing who he is. I agree with you on Nate.
- 7:12Speaker 10: The man needs to be who he is. I'm a
- 7:14Speaker 10: Missippi State fan. I've been watching him since he started.
- 7:17Speaker 10: And second comment is nick hell State. And the third
- 7:24Speaker 10: the question is, is Nate, do you think that our
- 7:26Speaker 10: offense looks like this because they're thinking too much and
- 7:31Speaker 10: they're not playing free because of the change of the skin?
- 7:34Speaker 10: Y'all have a good day. Talk to you later.
- 7:37Speaker 4: What was he asks us, But is they're playing free
- 7:40Speaker 4: or they hesitant?
- 7:41Speaker 3: I don't know? State. Basically this this is this is
- 7:45Speaker 3: like Arkansas offense.
- 7:47Speaker 4: This is my wife got a little mad at me yesterday.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Not forget because every time a quarterback took off running,
- 7:56Speaker 4: I just went to holland.
- 7:59Speaker 3: How does it sound like? Uh, yeah, I mean my Holliday? Yeah,
- 8:05Speaker 3: can we do that? He's okay? Can I cus?
- 8:09Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna cut d a m because
- 8:11Speaker 4: that pretty good.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Who's won that that took off?
- 8:13Speaker 4: La Mark Lamar. I didn't watching Lamar. I watched the Greatest.
- 8:18Speaker 4: I watched mahomesa Mahomes and I watched it last night.
- 8:22Speaker 4: I watched Uh what I'm trying to say here, this
- 8:28Speaker 4: is what.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I'm not.
- 8:30Speaker 4: I'm not big on design runs, but I'm big on options.
- 8:36Speaker 4: This kid came out of Mississippi State with all the
- 8:38Speaker 4: options in place, the run past options. We had him
- 8:42Speaker 4: here his first four years, he had all the options
- 8:44Speaker 4: in place. Now we just dropping back and now he
- 8:48Speaker 4: don't even move around enough. In today's NFL, your quarterback
- 8:53Speaker 4: cannot be stationary. You have to move him around. And
- 8:56Speaker 4: when you have the natural skills to do that, I
- 9:00Speaker 4: want to see it. And so when I saw Mahomes
- 9:02Speaker 4: take off because they couldn't run the ball at first.
- 9:05Speaker 3: When I saw Mahomes, I'm like, I'm like, wow, you.
- 9:07Speaker 9: Know God, you know?
- 9:09Speaker 3: Yeah, Baker Mayfield do it too, Yeah, you you. You
- 9:13Speaker 3: don't have to be a fast sprinter. You just got
- 9:15Speaker 3: to be able to run when.
- 9:16Speaker 4: It's there and when you And and Dak is at
- 9:19Speaker 4: his best when he's moving around and when he's an
- 9:22Speaker 4: active quarterback. And he may not believe it, but go
- 9:25Speaker 4: back and watch your best games. Watch when Dak moves around.
- 9:31Speaker 4: We are in every game when when they when we
- 9:35Speaker 4: can't run the ball, and Dak can move around, even
- 9:38Speaker 4: when he's moving around and throwing some time it is
- 9:40Speaker 4: we are a better team.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I just believe that. Yeah, all right. We had a
- 9:44Speaker 3: text question from a Dylan in Northport, Florida basically the
- 9:47Speaker 3: same thing. Dak needs to be football player first, get
- 9:50Speaker 3: more instinctual, uh, and turn his brain off. That's kind
- 9:55Speaker 3: of what you were saying a little bit there. So
- 9:57Speaker 3: we'll just we'll just keep that answer for that quot
- 10:00Speaker 3: in there and let's keep going to the to the Lions.
- 10:02Speaker 8: Here.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Bob in Nashville, Tennessee, Bob, what's up man?
- 10:07Speaker 12: Hey, good morning, fellas morning and Nate and Squared. I
- 10:10Speaker 12: like it. Hey, you know, maybe you kind of mentioned
- 10:15Speaker 12: it being in a big old offensive alignment. I really
- 10:19Speaker 12: think my biggest concern with our team right now is
- 10:22Speaker 12: our inability I think to run against the good teams.
- 10:26Speaker 12: I think if we're going to go anywhere this year,
- 10:28Speaker 12: if we don't get our running game going, I think
- 10:30Speaker 12: we're really going to struggle. I just don't think, you know,
- 10:33Speaker 12: as much as I love Dak Prescott, I don't think
- 10:35Speaker 12: he's equipped to carry us against good teams without our
- 10:40Speaker 12: running game. I just wanted to get your guys thoughts
- 10:42Speaker 12: on that. Thanks, great show.
- 10:43Speaker 3: All right, thanks Bob. That is a part of the
- 10:46Speaker 3: completion of Dak.
- 10:49Speaker 4: One thing that I noticed, and I'm gonna switch to
- 10:51Speaker 4: our defense when we lose, regardless is it a good
- 10:55Speaker 4: team or bad team. One thing is constant we giving
- 10:58Speaker 4: up over one hundred and fifty yards when we beat teams,
- 11:02Speaker 4: We're always close to one hundred and fifty yards one
- 11:05Speaker 4: hundred and twenty yards, and so our offense have to
- 11:09Speaker 4: always be generating to run somehow, some way.
- 11:12Speaker 9: And then that Dak is.
- 11:15Speaker 4: A play action pass quarterback. And if you think he's
- 11:18Speaker 4: more than that, that's fine. But when we play the
- 11:21Speaker 4: better teams that don't work. It ain't work yet. Even
- 11:26Speaker 4: when he's been able to have shootouts, it has not
- 11:29Speaker 4: worked yet. But when he comes off that play action
- 11:32Speaker 4: pass and he's bootleg and he's swinging out, he's moving
- 11:36Speaker 4: the pocket one side to the other, and he's making
- 11:38Speaker 4: that one read too read. Everybody's not a three lead quarterback,
- 11:43Speaker 4: you know the ar talent you have to have to
- 11:46Speaker 4: be a three lead quarterback because now by that third
- 11:50Speaker 4: red heat is coming and you you know, I'm gonna
- 11:55Speaker 4: tell you, Mahomes got it. That kid from saying it
- 11:59Speaker 4: from the charger, he got it. But his offense line
- 12:02Speaker 4: collapsed a little bit too soon some time. But a
- 12:04Speaker 4: lot of people don't have that on talent. I ain't mentioned,
- 12:06Speaker 4: but two guys, Yeah, the other guy's hurt. Uh, that's
- 12:09Speaker 4: what the Jets.
- 12:10Speaker 9: That on talent is something special man.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah that. People say it all the time about
- 12:16Speaker 3: you know, you can make all the throws. Not everyone can,
- 12:19Speaker 3: you know, even in the NFL, like you said, not
- 12:21Speaker 3: everyone can make every throw from every hash to every
- 12:24Speaker 3: spot on.
- 12:24Speaker 4: The field and throw it on a road too. Is
- 12:27Speaker 4: coming on strong? Yeah, tour is coming on strong.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Man.
- 12:31Speaker 4: I I can't pick a quarterback, but two was my
- 12:34Speaker 4: guy coming out of Baman and my wife like, you
- 12:37Speaker 4: love him? I said, yeah, I said, but he probably
- 12:39Speaker 4: won't turn out because.
- 12:40Speaker 3: I like him.
- 12:42Speaker 9: You know, I've just been ad bad luck with quarterbacks.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh Allen seems like he's got that kind of
- 12:47Speaker 3: arm too. But but you know, everybody's got something with
- 12:50Speaker 3: their offense. I mean it's it's like you said, offensive line. Yeah,
- 12:54Speaker 3: there'll be receivers or it could be anything. It could
- 12:56Speaker 3: be their defense that struggles that you know, they're always
- 12:58Speaker 3: having to get back in the games. So everyone's everyone's
- 13:01Speaker 3: got issues. We found that out here here, and you
- 13:04Speaker 3: know what, we're week six, Week six of the season,
- 13:08Speaker 3: week seven now and uh and and no one's perfect
- 13:11Speaker 3: and you know, so that that's what kind of makes
- 13:13Speaker 3: it exciting. Every time I look at a team, I
- 13:15Speaker 3: see it seems like everyone's four and three or everyone's
- 13:18Speaker 3: three and four, you know, I mean, and that's the
- 13:19Speaker 3: way it's going to end up. There's gonna be a
- 13:21Speaker 3: lot of teams that are eight and nine, nine and eight,
- 13:23Speaker 3: and can you you know, can you get a couple
- 13:25Speaker 3: of games over that where that'll put you in the playoffs?
- 13:29Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Brian in Kansas City. Brian,
- 13:32Speaker 3: what's up?
- 13:33Speaker 7: Good morning, gentlemen.
- 13:34Speaker 5: How are you well?
- 13:36Speaker 7: So far? So good man? Hey, I got two things
- 13:39Speaker 7: and I'll motor on here. So one is, I was
- 13:43Speaker 7: listening to brought us in the g Bag Nation and
- 13:48Speaker 7: listening to them talk about trade deadline, and you know
- 13:52Speaker 7: who would they pick? I know, you guys can't talk
- 13:54Speaker 7: about specific specific people, but they were positionally they were
- 13:59Speaker 7: talking about like corner linebacker and receivers. So I wanted
- 14:03Speaker 7: to ask, Nate, is that realistic? If there was a
- 14:07Speaker 7: trade available for an offensive lineman? Is that realistic in
- 14:12Speaker 7: that position to bring somebody in at this stage of
- 14:16Speaker 7: the season and think that they're going to be productive.
- 14:19Speaker 7: And then the other question I had is, you know,
- 14:22Speaker 7: somebody asked last week with Eric Williams as mean as
- 14:24Speaker 7: everybody said he was, and I was going to say, so,
- 14:28Speaker 7: who was the if? If that? If he was that
- 14:30Speaker 7: guy who was the plankster, who was.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Like the.
- 14:34Speaker 5: Kevin Nate Mark to everybody else?
- 14:38Speaker 3: Yes, he said, Kevin Gogan, Nate Newton and Mark to
- 14:44Speaker 3: Mark was an artist, all right. He could draw a picture,
- 14:48Speaker 3: make you look kind of crazy. He'll draw Nick.
- 14:50Speaker 4: He can draw you perfect go to he could draw
- 14:54Speaker 4: your face perfectly. But he gonna put ears onto different ears,
- 14:59Speaker 4: different eyes.
- 15:00Speaker 3: He gonna make you look wopped, you know, warped. Give
- 15:03Speaker 3: me a PG thirteen prank story that you.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I give you one that's PG. But it's gonna be ugly. Now,
- 15:11Speaker 4: I ain't gonna give it out. Kids are kids will be.
- 15:14Speaker 3: You know, they're in school. So you got you got anything?
- 15:17Speaker 3: You got any kind of prank with these guys?
- 15:19Speaker 4: Who what did Gogan do? You got no one? None
- 15:23Speaker 4: of them clean one, None of them clean. Bro Gogan
- 15:27Speaker 4: was just he was quick, with it, you know, with
- 15:30Speaker 4: his mouth. But he could do some things to players.
- 15:35Speaker 3: You know who put was it Larry Allen's car? Who
- 15:38Speaker 3: put Larry who took Larry Allen's car and put it
- 15:41Speaker 3: on on on center blocks or something?
- 15:43Speaker 13: Nah?
- 15:44Speaker 4: Nah? I remember one time two and a prank two
- 15:48Speaker 4: and they did to Bucky and Mike, you know, yeah,
- 15:53Speaker 4: you know they they they were good and stuff like that.
- 15:56Speaker 4: But I tell you the prank they played on them
- 15:58Speaker 4: was I don't know what they did to Mike and Bucket.
- 16:01Speaker 4: But we went out one night party and I think
- 16:03Speaker 4: I told you went out party and became you know
- 16:05Speaker 4: back then you drank, you know, drinking heavy. And we
- 16:08Speaker 4: all come back and Mark two and they went to
- 16:11Speaker 4: open up his door and it had to kind of
- 16:13Speaker 4: couldn't get it open. Then he finally flung it open
- 16:16Speaker 4: and it was a big forward blow up truck going
- 16:20Speaker 4: up and down, I mean a big full size forward
- 16:25Speaker 4: yeah room inflatable in his room with Buckie and Mike,
- 16:30Speaker 4: and I forgot what I got asked him what did.
- 16:32Speaker 9: Toy do to make them spend the whole.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Uh two hours basically just blowing up and close the
- 16:39Speaker 3: door and yeah, yeah, but that also seems like that's
- 16:42Speaker 3: a quick pop and then it's over right.
- 16:45Speaker 4: Them things tough and than you think quick pop. All right,
- 16:50Speaker 4: unplugging it and it's still almost filled.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Up the room. That's pretty cool, all right. Yeah, I'm
- 16:56Speaker 3: sure there's a lot worse ones than that. Thank you
- 16:59Speaker 3: for keeping it clean here, all right, big al in
- 17:01Speaker 3: San Antonio? Owl, what's up?
- 17:04Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick?
- 17:05Speaker 3: And late good morning. How are you.
- 17:08Speaker 8: I'm a big I'm a big thing of yours. Nate Man,
- 17:11Speaker 8: I'm doing fine down here in San Antonio.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Night, great man, Thank you, great a man.
- 17:16Speaker 8: But we just got to keep it going. And Nick,
- 17:18Speaker 8: I told you last week when I called that when
- 17:21Speaker 8: they win, everybody gonna jump back on the band wig.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Well are they? Are they all back?
- 17:27Speaker 8: I think so. I think the Cowboys gonna do something, bro,
- 17:32Speaker 8: I really think so. I got faith in them.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Well, I we'll see. I mean, you know what I mean.
- 17:38Speaker 8: It's you know, I've been around for some years now.
- 17:41Speaker 8: I don't seen all the Cowboys games since nineteen sixty five.
- 17:45Speaker 8: But I love the nineties. I love Nate and them.
- 17:49Speaker 8: But it's time. It's our time.
- 17:52Speaker 3: What do you what do you like the most about?
- 17:54Speaker 3: What makes you excited about this team moving forward.
- 17:58Speaker 8: I see it think McCarthy is playing tricks with us,
- 18:03Speaker 8: and I think we're going to bust out of L
- 18:05Speaker 8: seven with the offense and pretty soon.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you got a question for us?
- 18:12Speaker 8: No, no, really just want to talk.
- 18:14Speaker 3: But it's weak. All right, all right, big al, Thank
- 18:17Speaker 3: you appreciate it. Sometimes they got four or five questions,
- 18:20Speaker 3: sometimes they got none. Thing about it is he's a believer.
- 18:25Speaker 4: He thinks that coach McCarthy is saying bagging that he's
- 18:28Speaker 4: gonna come out of his bag of tricks. That's nice
- 18:30Speaker 4: to know how he feel that way.
- 18:33Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You know, playing the forty nine
- 18:37Speaker 3: ers when it with the world watching and they're unders,
- 18:42Speaker 3: that's when I would have I would have said, let's go,
- 18:44Speaker 3: let's see what we have because your team needs it.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Your team did not need a forty two to ten.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Your team needed to know that they could beat the
- 18:51Speaker 3: forty nine ers because they've knocked him out of the
- 18:53Speaker 3: playoffs twice. And then you go up there and you
- 18:55Speaker 3: play like that, like nobody needs that type of game.
- 18:59Speaker 3: So now if he's if I questioned, and I just
- 19:03Speaker 3: don't believe that, I don't believe that that's happening. What
- 19:05Speaker 3: I believe is that they're still trying to figure themselves
- 19:08Speaker 3: out a little bit on offense, and so that's for
- 19:11Speaker 3: that's why it looks like, oh, this week they did this,
- 19:13Speaker 3: this week they did that. This is not a well
- 19:15Speaker 3: oled oiled machine on offense. They're figuring this this thing out.
- 19:19Speaker 3: But I don't think they're sandbagging a little bit, because
- 19:21Speaker 3: I don't know how you would you would do that
- 19:24Speaker 3: and lose to the forty nine ers like that. I
- 19:26Speaker 3: think they tried to win and they got smoked. Smoked.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Smoked is a good word there. All right, let's go
- 19:32Speaker 3: to Midland, Texas for the next call. Pastor James is up.
- 19:35Speaker 3: Pastor James, what's up?
- 19:37Speaker 5: Good morning, Nick, Good morning Nate. How you guys done, Mornie,
- 19:41Speaker 5: hey man, Everything is lovely. It was a great bye week.
- 19:44Speaker 5: I'm energized and fired up and ready to go again.
- 19:48Speaker 5: But my question that I wanted to ask you guys
- 19:51Speaker 5: with our offensive line, do you think that throughout the
- 19:55Speaker 5: bye week and coming up this week, it's giving them
- 19:59Speaker 5: more time to jail together and start working and being
- 20:02Speaker 5: able to dance do that two step together to help
- 20:05Speaker 5: each other out to be able to try to give
- 20:07Speaker 5: up Dak more time in to get our running game going.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope they did spend a little time in
- 20:13Speaker 4: the in the whirlpool or the ice tub or the
- 20:15Speaker 4: crowds chamber.
- 20:17Speaker 14: Uh.
- 20:17Speaker 4: They didn't have many days to practice. They were off
- 20:20Speaker 4: quite a few days. But I hope a lot of
- 20:21Speaker 4: the wires of veterans, uh, stay close to the facilities,
- 20:26Speaker 4: got you know, help themselves healed a little better as
- 20:28Speaker 4: much as they can for off week.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know, go back to Brian in Kansas City,
- 20:34Speaker 3: we kind of got we got off track a little
- 20:36Speaker 3: bit with the prank question, but he asked his first
- 20:40Speaker 3: question was is it realistic to think that you could
- 20:43Speaker 3: add an offensive lineman? That's you know, I think I
- 20:47Speaker 3: think it's about how in shape they are. But if
- 20:50Speaker 3: they're in shape, in football shape they've been practicing, can
- 20:52Speaker 3: they pick up schemes?
- 20:54Speaker 4: No, you just it's not none out there that's worth having.
- 20:59Speaker 4: And you know, what are you talking about? What draft
- 21:02Speaker 4: picks are you talking about? If you're talking about a
- 21:05Speaker 4: fifth or six, it ain't don't do that. Just play
- 21:08Speaker 4: TJ Bass or.
- 21:12Speaker 3: Awesome.
- 21:12Speaker 4: Awesome, Yeah, play them don't don't go out and get
- 21:15Speaker 4: the same guy you already got sitting over there.
- 21:17Speaker 9: Okay, you know what, it was a Trent.
- 21:19Speaker 3: If it was a Trent out there, Yeah.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Trent waving that you got to give up a first
- 21:23Speaker 4: round Okay, go right ahead and get him.
- 21:25Speaker 3: You'd give up a first round pick for a guy? Well,
- 21:28Speaker 3: I mean he hit. This guy's a little bit older.
- 21:30Speaker 3: I mean, we're not talking you know what I'm saying.
- 21:31Speaker 9: Trent was twenty eight, twenty nine years old.
- 21:34Speaker 3: So we're not talking names. You're just saying, would you
- 21:37Speaker 3: you would throw a high pick at somebody of that calender,
- 21:41Speaker 3: that caliber that you also and the big thing about
- 21:44Speaker 3: trade deadline, I'll say this, if you're going to do that,
- 21:46Speaker 3: which they've done, we've seen a little bit before. But
- 21:48Speaker 3: if they're going to do that, it's got to be somebody.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I think that it's going to be here for the
- 21:53Speaker 3: next year. If you want to re sign that, you're
- 21:55Speaker 3: getting the head start on free agency and you're able
- 21:58Speaker 3: to get him and and and you know, sign this guy.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Uh maybe at the end of the season and when.
- 22:05Speaker 4: You when you when you when he walked through the doors,
- 22:08Speaker 4: they got a contract. Yeah, and they throwing a big party,
- 22:11Speaker 4: right and because if anything, one thing I don't like,
- 22:14Speaker 4: if anything is being second guess.
- 22:16Speaker 9: You don't need to waste your pick, right. Uh, the
- 22:19Speaker 9: same way.
- 22:19Speaker 4: I feel about if you're going to get a fourth
- 22:21Speaker 4: or fifth or six round pick the trade, don't even
- 22:23Speaker 4: waste your time because that's a guest job.
- 22:26Speaker 9: If a guy that that you're giving up.
- 22:27Speaker 4: A first and the second or first round pick when
- 22:30Speaker 4: he walks in the door, the contract is, that's the
- 22:33Speaker 4: next thing when we shake Ay, how you doing? How
- 22:35Speaker 4: was your flight? Here's your contract. You don't want nothing
- 22:38Speaker 4: to be second guest. You don't want to go into
- 22:40Speaker 4: the next year. Well, that's that's too debatable. Don't debate.
- 22:44Speaker 3: You should know. All right, let's go Randy in California
- 22:48Speaker 3: is our next call? Randy? What's up?
- 22:51Speaker 14: Uh?
- 22:51Speaker 8: Not much?
- 22:51Speaker 10: I'm doing pretty good.
- 22:52Speaker 15: I thanks you're taking my call?
- 22:54Speaker 3: All right? You're on with Nate Newton. Hey.
- 22:57Speaker 15: I was gonna say, I see you guys. You two
- 22:59Speaker 15: guys got chemistry.
- 23:00Speaker 11: I like it.
- 23:01Speaker 8: But I got a question.
- 23:02Speaker 15: I think, on what side of the ball, offensively or
- 23:06Speaker 15: defensively you think it's closer.
- 23:07Speaker 3: To being elite? I mean, what do you think do
- 23:12Speaker 3: you think it's I think it's a defense. Yeah, I
- 23:14Speaker 3: did too. I mean I did too. I think I
- 23:17Speaker 3: think that's now I'll say this, they can't keep sustaining
- 23:21Speaker 3: injuries like this. Thanks. You have another question, Randy, or
- 23:23Speaker 3: is that it?
- 23:24Speaker 12: Well?
- 23:25Speaker 15: Yeah, I was going with that. I was just going
- 23:26Speaker 15: to say, well, because we both think it's a defense,
- 23:28Speaker 15: you think it's time for this team to start focusing
- 23:31Speaker 15: on building around Micah and having this type of offense
- 23:34Speaker 15: like we did in twenty fourteen, where we just controlled
- 23:36Speaker 15: the line of scrimmage, seven minute times of possession and
- 23:39Speaker 15: well then hopefully ending the ind zone with our end
- 23:42Speaker 15: of the end zone with touchdowns instead of field goals.
- 23:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll let you speak on it and thank you,
- 23:48Speaker 3: thank you for the call. I'll say this about twenty
- 23:50Speaker 3: fourteen or do you have an eighteen hundred yard rusher
- 23:52Speaker 3: and DeMarco Murray? You know, DeMarco Murray ran the ball
- 23:56Speaker 3: really well that year. He was a complete runner and
- 23:59Speaker 3: had a phenomenon season. So you know, I mean, that's
- 24:02Speaker 3: one thing that you're able to do when you have
- 24:05Speaker 3: you know, and the line was better, Tyron was younger, healthy,
- 24:09Speaker 3: Zach came right in was it good to go? Travis
- 24:11Speaker 3: Frederick was pro bowler. You know, they were really good.
- 24:13Speaker 3: I think Ron Leary was playing them. I mean that
- 24:15Speaker 3: line was a little better than it is now. The
- 24:16Speaker 3: running game was better. But what do you think build
- 24:18Speaker 3: around Micaeh?
- 24:20Speaker 4: They already are trying to build around Micah. And part
- 24:23Speaker 4: of the building around Micah is you got to play.
- 24:24Speaker 13: With the lead.
- 24:26Speaker 3: You have to play with the lead. You always want
- 24:29Speaker 3: to be.
- 24:29Speaker 4: Seven three to seven points, so you got to if
- 24:32Speaker 4: they're gonna let these guys be the best thing to be.
- 24:35Speaker 9: This is a pass rush team.
- 24:39Speaker 4: If you watch the game last night, if you watch
- 24:42Speaker 4: the forty nine ers, you watched Philadelphia, they like, okay,
- 24:46Speaker 4: you want to toss it around the first quarter, good,
- 24:48Speaker 4: but you are not running the ball.
- 24:50Speaker 3: You are not. So they can play both ends of
- 24:53Speaker 3: the spectrum. The Eagles can.
- 24:55Speaker 4: In the forty nine ers, we are a team that's
- 24:57Speaker 4: built like the Coats, the Peyton Manning Coats. We need
- 25:00Speaker 4: a lead, we need a leader. We need to maintain
- 25:03Speaker 4: that lead so our defense can be elite.
- 25:06Speaker 3: All right, I'll say this though injuries on defense, I mean,
- 25:11Speaker 3: you know, right now, this defense is still I think
- 25:13Speaker 3: the best thing that they do. But losing Trayvon Jiggs
- 25:16Speaker 3: was big.
- 25:17Speaker 9: Like, man, it's hurting our safeties. It's hurting.
- 25:19Speaker 4: I say, you know, everybody beating around the bush. Our
- 25:23Speaker 4: safetys are becoming average because that one kid is out right.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's go to the next call. Alex
- 25:30Speaker 3: in Arkansas, Alex, what's up?
- 25:33Speaker 10: Hey?
- 25:33Speaker 16: Good morning, May, Good morning.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Ny, good morning.
- 25:36Speaker 13: Are you I'm doing great.
- 25:38Speaker 5: I'm doing great.
- 25:39Speaker 14: Hey.
- 25:39Speaker 16: I just want to take a second to spread some
- 25:41Speaker 16: love to Nate, because Nate, I got to tell you
- 25:44Speaker 16: the lion was so great that back then that I
- 25:47Speaker 16: think sometimes someone always seems to get overlooked. And I
- 25:51Speaker 16: think he was a great, a really great player. But
- 25:55Speaker 16: like I said, I've seen the games. I watched the
- 25:57Speaker 16: games and every quitting work, the bigness. But night when
- 26:01Speaker 16: I still look at go back and look at some
- 26:02Speaker 16: of those games.
- 26:03Speaker 11: I saw you in.
- 26:04Speaker 16: I see you in the middle, and you was a
- 26:06Speaker 16: tough You was a tough player, and you didn't take
- 26:09Speaker 16: any mess. And I would have went to battle with
- 26:12Speaker 16: you any day and every day. Like I said, the
- 26:15Speaker 16: line was so great. I think he just got overlooked
- 26:17Speaker 16: a little bit. But I used to love when madd
- 26:20Speaker 16: and call the games because he would always seem to
- 26:24Speaker 16: emphasize your position and tell exactly what Nate was doing
- 26:28Speaker 16: and how great the block was was you know whatever
- 26:31Speaker 16: it was. But Nate, I just wanted jell you man.
- 26:33Speaker 16: I think he was a great offensive lineman. And I
- 26:36Speaker 16: just I just love all the players from back then,
- 26:38Speaker 16: and I would have went with I would have went
- 26:41Speaker 16: with you with battle any day. That's all, y'all have
- 26:44Speaker 16: a blessed y'all have a blessing.
- 26:45Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you all for all of that. Searle Aclas.
- 26:48Speaker 4: But I'm telling you I remember the call and said,
- 26:50Speaker 4: what ways does that mean?
- 26:52Speaker 3: Yes?
- 26:53Speaker 4: He was remember back, Yes, Eric, Eric changed the way
- 26:57Speaker 4: we played. I said that Friday he played. He changed
- 27:01Speaker 4: the way well, I said it wins. He changed the
- 27:03Speaker 4: way we played. He made a he helped us become
- 27:05Speaker 4: more physical, more tougher, meaner.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Yeah. Eric William was that guy.
- 27:11Speaker 8: Man.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Yeah. You know what I love about that that line
- 27:14Speaker 3: is that you know, when you see you always compare
- 27:17Speaker 3: that line to to the ones you know from a
- 27:19Speaker 3: few years ago. And these were draft picks, you know,
- 27:21Speaker 3: first round picks of the tyrant Travis Zach. So yeah,
- 27:25Speaker 3: this is supposed to be that that good and and
- 27:27Speaker 3: and they were. What I love about your line is
- 27:30Speaker 3: that you and T and A were agents.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:33Speaker 4: But in the ages we played defense in college. Yeah,
- 27:37Speaker 4: it was a defensive tackle. I was a defensive tackle
- 27:40Speaker 4: and yeah, and then.
- 27:40Speaker 3: And then in the in the pros, you know, you
- 27:42Speaker 3: kind of had to find your way a little bit,
- 27:44Speaker 3: played some tackle, played there and then and then in
- 27:46Speaker 3: the nineties it kind of all clicked. But people kind
- 27:48Speaker 3: of forget that, like to and A wasn't wasn't like
- 27:50Speaker 3: a star player while you know, but that that line
- 27:54Speaker 3: just meshed. And like you said, you added you know, Nooski.
- 27:57Speaker 4: Fourth ront Eric, Yeah, I think third or fourth round,
- 28:00Speaker 4: third round. Yeah, was a fourth round pick, yep, yeah, man.
- 28:05Speaker 3: And then Larry was.
- 28:06Speaker 4: The sixth round pick, right who Kevin God got six
- 28:10Speaker 4: up fifth.
- 28:10Speaker 3: But you got Larry in the second round. And yeah,
- 28:16Speaker 3: that that right there. I think Weabler, man, I think
- 28:18Speaker 3: that's probably Webler the best. I think it's the best
- 28:22Speaker 3: draft pick in the history of the Cowboys. Who, Yeah,
- 28:26Speaker 3: it's hard to make state second round, get them late
- 28:31Speaker 3: second and then for him to be I think the
- 28:33Speaker 3: greatest guard, you know, man, him and John Hannah next
- 28:37Speaker 3: to him, and no, him and John Hannah come on, man, yeah,
- 28:41Speaker 3: he ain't nothing touching John Hannah and this kid him and.
- 28:45Speaker 9: Jacket Slater at the right tackle.
- 28:49Speaker 4: Uh, John Hannah at the right guard, Uh, the great
- 28:53Speaker 4: uh center Webster mister.
- 28:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:58Speaker 4: And then the left guard who had left card Larry Allen,
- 29:01Speaker 4: and then Anthony Munyos is my left tacker.
- 29:03Speaker 3: That was the greatest.
- 29:05Speaker 4: You put that offensive line, and they can play in
- 29:07Speaker 4: any era. In the fifties all the way to now.
- 29:10Speaker 3: I kind of thought you were gonna go with Willie Road.
- 29:13Speaker 4: No, sir, I'm talking about the ultimate dist These guys.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Well, kid played it for ness game.
- 29:21Speaker 4: If you wanted to get down and dirty, they could
- 29:23Speaker 4: play that game too. If you want to run the
- 29:25Speaker 4: ball fifty times when nobody stopping this offensive line, if
- 29:29Speaker 4: you want to pass the ball sixty times rushing against
- 29:33Speaker 4: these guys, pass rushing against these guys, that's it. You
- 29:36Speaker 4: can take lt. You can take all the greats and
- 29:39Speaker 4: lineup up over there. This officsive line. He ain't finna

- 32:14Speaker 3: Cowboys storyline with Nate Newton and myself, Nick Eatman. Here,
- 32:18Speaker 3: we got more phone calls to take. We're just trying
- 32:21Speaker 3: to get through the bye week. This is a tough
- 32:23Speaker 3: week to kind of get through this. This's gonna be
- 32:25Speaker 3: a challenge, I think with shows. Now, you know I
- 32:29Speaker 3: like to talk. You got guys on your show that
- 32:31Speaker 3: love to talk, so it should be fine. But it
- 32:33Speaker 3: is kind of tough when you don't have a game
- 32:35Speaker 3: for what two full weeks like that, and you got
- 32:37Speaker 3: to get ready for this this rams one. But we'll
- 32:39Speaker 3: certainly figure it out. We know you guys love to talk,
- 32:41Speaker 3: so let's get to the phone lines. Anthony and Seattle. Anthony,
- 32:44Speaker 3: what's up? Man?
- 32:45Speaker 14: Hey, what's going on?
- 32:46Speaker 11: Nick?
- 32:47Speaker 13: Man?
- 32:47Speaker 14: Always appreciate your show and appreciate it. And Nate just
- 32:50Speaker 14: the opportunity man to be able to talk to you. Man,
- 32:52Speaker 14: that's just it's nothing more than a blessing.
- 32:54Speaker 8: Man.
- 32:54Speaker 14: Just the work you did on the field and your
- 32:58Speaker 14: story off the field is true inspirational. So you know,
- 33:02Speaker 14: with that being said, I mean, I can't not call
- 33:06Speaker 14: and ask a question about the offensive lineman if I
- 33:09Speaker 14: have one of the greatest offensive linemens, you know, Hall
- 33:12Speaker 14: of Fame offensive linemen on the line. So Nate, not
- 33:17Speaker 14: a lot I mean, or has a lot changed and
- 33:21Speaker 14: how offensive linemen play when you were playing versus what
- 33:26Speaker 14: it is now, Like the basic principles shouldn't have changed
- 33:30Speaker 14: as much, but I guess a lot has changed. I'm
- 33:33Speaker 14: not sure. I want to get your opinion on that.
- 33:36Speaker 14: And the other thing is is that with how as
- 33:40Speaker 14: great of an offensive lineman that you were and the
- 33:43Speaker 14: team that you played with, what do you think is
- 33:46Speaker 14: the missing ingredient or missing key that would make us
- 33:51Speaker 14: that great offensive line currently? And if we are missing
- 33:55Speaker 14: get six games into the season, do you think we
- 33:59Speaker 14: can and get it and turn it around and actually
- 34:03Speaker 14: make a true end of the season run and hopefully
- 34:07Speaker 14: a playoff in Super Bowl run. So that's just my question.
- 34:11Speaker 14: I know it's I put a lot out there, but
- 34:14Speaker 14: I just want to see if you can speak to that.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, Anthony, take care of those kids. I'm
- 34:20Speaker 3: gonna tell you something.
- 34:22Speaker 4: Physical Southist line is not physical enough, and that's the
- 34:29Speaker 4: bottom line.
- 34:30Speaker 3: We gotta get tougher, to get tougher, get tougher.
- 34:36Speaker 4: It's just a mindset and maybe it's health. My right
- 34:40Speaker 4: guard ain't as physical as he needs to be. A
- 34:44Speaker 4: right tackle is still recovering. So it's kind of I'll
- 34:47Speaker 4: tell you guys, it's hard for me to judge a
- 34:49Speaker 4: kid like it was for me for Michael Gallup last year.
- 34:52Speaker 4: Where you coming off of Achilles. Are you coming off
- 34:54Speaker 4: of a bad knee tear. It's just hard for me
- 34:58Speaker 4: to sit up and say, hey, man, yeah, we just
- 35:01Speaker 4: paid you a tub of money.
- 35:02Speaker 3: You need to be doing. No, it don't work that way.
- 35:06Speaker 4: These injuries. These are still humans we're talking about now.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Tyron Smith, hats off to you, tip my hat to you.
- 35:12Speaker 4: But you can see him agent. You can see him, agent.
- 35:16Speaker 4: Our left guard is okay, he just need better players
- 35:20Speaker 4: around him.
- 35:21Speaker 3: Right. Your center gots to get healthy.
- 35:24Speaker 4: Our center is above average center, but he has to
- 35:29Speaker 4: be healthy. Injuries take away from his ability to play well.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Yeah, you know the thing you see what the Eagles
- 35:37Speaker 3: do on you know, fourth and one or two. They
- 35:39Speaker 3: obviously they do the shove, push, push, whatever you want
- 35:44Speaker 3: to call it. But the thing about it is it
- 35:46Speaker 3: starts with Kelsey in the center. It starts with him,
- 35:49Speaker 3: It starts with that guard, you know, and they do
- 35:51Speaker 3: it differently than the Cowboys. So the Cowboys, if they're
- 35:54Speaker 3: going to do that play, to me, you got to
- 35:58Speaker 3: have You don't have Rico Daddle pushing. You have a
- 36:00Speaker 3: tied end back there or a bigger guy. And also
- 36:03Speaker 3: their garden tackle will slide in and also push as well.
- 36:07Speaker 3: So they need stronger guys to push, but also starts
- 36:11Speaker 3: there at center.
- 36:13Speaker 9: You know, with my friend, that is their thing.
- 36:17Speaker 4: They're good at it. We are not in the rest
- 36:20Speaker 4: of the league is not. I don't want them to
- 36:22Speaker 4: take it away because one team. They think one team
- 36:25Speaker 4: has advantage because they got a quarterback squad was six
- 36:28Speaker 4: hundred pounds.
- 36:29Speaker 3: I would take it away. I think I think the
- 36:31Speaker 3: league will take that playoff.
- 36:32Speaker 9: Yeah, so whether they take it away or not, yeah,
- 36:36Speaker 9: you know.
- 36:36Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Tony in Atlanta's our next caller, Tony,
- 36:39Speaker 3: what's up in Hey? Hey?
- 36:41Speaker 13: Great morning, gentlemen.
- 36:42Speaker 3: How y'all doing good?
- 36:43Speaker 13: How are you excellent? Excellent? So just wanted to take
- 36:46Speaker 13: the opportunity since we got the great Nate Newton on
- 36:50Speaker 13: of course, Nick, you know I've been listening to you
- 36:54Speaker 13: for gosh, I don't know how long you've been there.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Twenty years, my twenty fifth year original got twenty years
- 37:00Speaker 3: since we've been on the RA on the online radio.
- 37:03Speaker 13: So yeah, yeah, so so so this is no disrespect
- 37:07Speaker 13: to Brad Sham, but really, Nick, to me, you're kind
- 37:09Speaker 13: of like the voice of the Cowboys for me to
- 37:12Speaker 13: a certain degree. Man, So just appreciate your work. And
- 37:17Speaker 13: Nathaniel Newton. So, guys, so I was like in high
- 37:22Speaker 13: school playing left guard, just like Nate when you guys
- 37:25Speaker 13: are winning the Super Bowls. And because I played the
- 37:28Speaker 13: position and kind of you know, resembled you and kind
- 37:31Speaker 13: of built like you, I was called Nate and I'm
- 37:33Speaker 13: still called Nate to this day. By some of my
- 37:35Speaker 13: best friends because of that, man, so so honor is
- 37:40Speaker 13: definitely an honor to.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Be on with you.
- 37:41Speaker 13: Nate, Uh. You speak, you speak often about the respect
- 37:47Speaker 13: level that you had for Jerome Brown and those Eagles
- 37:50Speaker 13: defenses over the years, and I wanted to ask you,
- 37:53Speaker 13: besides him and those Eagles guys, was there another defensive
- 38:00Speaker 13: lineman that you really like, like really gave me challenges
- 38:05Speaker 13: and but have some good batts with. And there's one
- 38:08Speaker 13: that comes to mind that I kind of want you
- 38:09Speaker 13: to speak on briefly, and that's Jump Together from the
- 38:13Speaker 13: Redskins back in the day.
- 38:14Speaker 3: I couldn't block him, couldn't.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Block him, couldn't block him, especially in past situations because
- 38:21Speaker 4: he had the same called the fork lift.
- 38:23Speaker 3: You can go back and pull the film up. Man.
- 38:24Speaker 4: I used to be like just a big old, greasy
- 38:27Speaker 4: yellow rolly. I'm serious, man, Troy had his some trying
- 38:31Speaker 4: days in the middle when y'all man, he just kind
- 38:34Speaker 4: of somehow the way he was so awkward. He would
- 38:36Speaker 4: get right up around my waist, man and lift me up.
- 38:40Speaker 4: I was like, and I used to just I just
- 38:43Speaker 4: knew it was gonna be an ugly game. Yeah, I
- 38:45Speaker 4: just knew it was gonna be an ugly game, man, blessed.
- 38:47Speaker 4: I was like, Man, let's run the ball, do not
- 38:49Speaker 4: pass against.
- 38:51Speaker 3: Yeah, Tony, thanks, you got another question.
- 38:56Speaker 13: Or well, I was just going to quickly quickly follow
- 38:59Speaker 13: up on that.
- 38:59Speaker 3: Nick.
- 39:00Speaker 13: I got to give you credit, man, because you're right
- 39:02Speaker 13: jumping gave you some issues in the passing game, because
- 39:06Speaker 13: I've watched some of those old games several times. But man,
- 39:09Speaker 13: you came, but you battled with him, man, Yeah, battle, because.
- 39:13Speaker 3: We never knew give up man. We never never knew
- 39:16Speaker 3: up you battle.
- 39:16Speaker 13: I mean because I never heard it, because I didn't
- 39:18Speaker 13: hear his name again. It was one time he got you,
- 39:21Speaker 13: but then the rest of that game, I didn't hear
- 39:23Speaker 13: his name again. So you did the thing, man, But
- 39:25Speaker 13: I appreciate it. Guys, all enjoy the rest of the morning.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, Tony and Nate. I know you
- 39:31Speaker 3: realize that you know for the most part, and you're
- 39:34Speaker 3: you're you're pretty humble here uh your post career, but
- 39:38Speaker 3: you know what an honor it is for people like
- 39:41Speaker 3: Tony who's called Nate. You know what I mean to
- 39:43Speaker 3: be able to call and talk to you and ask
- 39:45Speaker 3: you questions because even thinks of that for years, going, man,
- 39:47Speaker 3: I wonder what he thinks about Jumpy Gathers. And there
- 39:50Speaker 3: it is. I wrote another name down when he said
- 39:52Speaker 3: there was another battle. I'm another guy other than Drove.
- 39:56Speaker 3: I was like Brian Young from the forty nine ers.
- 40:00Speaker 3: You guys had some battles. They're stubble Field, those guys.
- 40:03Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you something, man, that it was a
- 40:08Speaker 4: joy man. The people called me about four or five
- 40:10Speaker 4: years ago asking me about Brian Young in the Hall
- 40:12Speaker 4: of Fame and I and accident, just you know, being funny.
- 40:16Speaker 9: He ain't in yet.
- 40:18Speaker 4: He ain't uh now, stubble Field was even though he
- 40:20Speaker 4: got me in a couple of sacks. I think, uh
- 40:23Speaker 4: uh I could battle him easy. But athletes, John Randall,
- 40:28Speaker 4: Brian Young, there was athletes.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Those are the time, not the Gilbert Browns, And oh man,
- 40:34Speaker 3: I was. I was suck man.
- 40:36Speaker 9: He didn't like a honey bun, he didn't like a
- 40:39Speaker 9: honeybub bro.
- 40:41Speaker 4: He was probably fighting for that one, but he won't
- 40:43Speaker 4: lose because he lost the game. Yeah, oh man, I
- 40:47Speaker 4: love big Gilbert, funny guy. You know, you know, tickle
- 40:51Speaker 4: him like the Pillsbury Dome boy. He'll giggle all over
- 40:53Speaker 4: and move him all over the field.
- 40:55Speaker 3: All right, all right, let's go to Bruce and Philly
- 40:57Speaker 3: for our next call. Bruce, what's up?
- 41:00Speaker 11: What's up? Fellas? What's up? Nick? What's going on with Nate?
- 41:03Speaker 3: Hey Man?
- 41:04Speaker 11: This is a great for man. I'm so glad. I
- 41:06Speaker 11: got a couple of questions. I want to jump to
- 41:08Speaker 11: it because I've been wanting to ask you these for years,
- 41:10Speaker 11: because I love how you do these these hypothetical from Tom.
- 41:14Speaker 11: So look at that Cowboys tis. Before I get to
- 41:17Speaker 11: the future of the President, I gotta go back a
- 41:19Speaker 11: little bit. Which two plays? Two of the most impactful
- 41:23Speaker 11: plays for me the Cowboys last thirty years have been
- 41:27Speaker 11: the Tony Romo. Now, people not going to remember this,
- 41:30Speaker 11: but the Divisional round game against the Giants, when Patrick
- 41:34Speaker 11: Creighton dropped this past he would have scored on they
- 41:38Speaker 11: would have won that game, and I think it changed
- 41:40Speaker 11: the whole game. And I think that's why they lost
- 41:42Speaker 11: that game. That play, Nick, Do you remember that one?
- 41:46Speaker 3: I remember the play. I also remember Creighton's speed. He's
- 41:50Speaker 3: not scoring a touchdown there, but it's big play, no
- 41:52Speaker 3: doubt about it, and he would have got a big
- 41:55Speaker 3: third down. It was huge, Yeah.
- 41:59Speaker 11: And it changed the whole game. And the other one
- 42:02Speaker 11: was and I'm sure everybody remembers this is DeMarco Murray
- 42:04Speaker 11: fumble in the Divisional round against the Packers. The Cowboys
- 42:08Speaker 11: had momentum and he had nothing but open so he
- 42:12Speaker 11: would have scored on that play. And I think both
- 42:15Speaker 11: of those teams I think had a chance to obviously
- 42:17Speaker 11: win the Super Bowl, along with the Obviously people think
- 42:20Speaker 11: about the Romo fumble the snap against the Seahawks, but
- 42:24Speaker 11: a lot of people don't remember is the Cowboys had
- 42:27Speaker 11: three top mounts and the Seahawks had the ball in
- 42:30Speaker 11: the one yard line and were able to move the
- 42:32Speaker 11: ball out and they could have got the ball back.
- 42:34Speaker 11: They did get the ball back, in fact, but I
- 42:36Speaker 11: think they stopped them there. They still could win that game.
- 42:40Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. I mean, these are three plays that
- 42:43Speaker 3: are that you know, I've kind of haunted the team
- 42:46Speaker 3: and kind of why they haven't won, and that happens,
- 42:49Speaker 3: and that happens when when you haven't won. I mean
- 42:51Speaker 3: there's games back when Nate was playing in the nineties,
- 42:54Speaker 3: they were key moments in the game that when the
- 42:56Speaker 3: Cowboys won the games and no one ever talks about
- 42:59Speaker 3: that because it worked out and they won games. So,
- 43:01Speaker 3: I mean it happened. Now, now your teams were way
- 43:04Speaker 3: better and that's why they won the Super Bowl. But yeah,
- 43:07Speaker 3: this this happened. We're lucky, well, and we were lucky.
- 43:11Speaker 3: It's just like you have to be.
- 43:12Speaker 4: We talked about it last night, you know, I'm I'm
- 43:15Speaker 4: you know how Philip Philly was lucky. They got no fenilies,
- 43:18Speaker 4: they were lucky. How do you go through a game
- 43:20Speaker 4: with no penalties? Sometimes the better teams seem like they
- 43:23Speaker 4: get favored, I'm serious, and you get lucky.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was That was interesting though, that
- 43:29Speaker 3: the NFL is gonna have I mean because because the
- 43:32Speaker 3: thing about that game we're talking about Philly and Miami,
- 43:34Speaker 3: and Philly had zero penalties. I believe Miami had ten, Okay,
- 43:38Speaker 3: but Philly is one of the most aggressive teams in
- 43:42Speaker 3: the league, and so for them to not be called
- 43:45Speaker 3: for penalties like that at home, that that seems that's
- 43:48Speaker 3: odd to me. That's very odd. All right, let's uh,
- 43:53Speaker 3: let's you know real quick. Going back, Anthony and Seattle
- 43:56Speaker 3: asked the question old school versus new school? Is there
- 43:59Speaker 3: anything really friend about the offensive line back then.
- 44:02Speaker 4: And now I'm telling you we our feet collectively were better.
- 44:09Speaker 3: Now.
- 44:09Speaker 4: They may have some individuals with great feats, like the
- 44:11Speaker 4: kid from the Chargers with great feed, Trent Williams with
- 44:15Speaker 4: great feed and physical and but we worked on that.
- 44:21Speaker 4: I mean, we were religiously worked on that. Our coaches
- 44:24Speaker 4: made sure our feet were in sync. Hudson Hawk was
- 44:27Speaker 4: the master and the drop step. He had all of
- 44:30Speaker 4: us drop step and in sync. All our blocks is
- 44:34Speaker 4: based off of this drop step, and our running back
- 44:37Speaker 4: steps were all based off of these steps.
- 44:40Speaker 9: And we and we worked religiously.
- 44:43Speaker 4: And I do not have a problem with where the
- 44:46Speaker 4: NFL runs their system now. The Players Association has got
- 44:49Speaker 4: it where players don't be as physical in practice.
- 44:54Speaker 3: But what you're.
- 44:55Speaker 4: Doing is you're snotting the growth of offensive linemen. Offensive
- 44:59Speaker 4: line and out of all the position groups need to
- 45:02Speaker 4: be more in sync, you know. And I understand people
- 45:06Speaker 4: have always tried to play the best five linemen. But
- 45:08Speaker 4: I told people, if you give me a three above
- 45:11Speaker 4: average three or four three above average offense lima and
- 45:15Speaker 4: two stud linemen, no matter where the position or where.
- 45:18Speaker 9: They play at, I can win you some games.
- 45:21Speaker 4: Because I would have a system that puts everybody in sync,
- 45:24Speaker 4: you know. And so that's why you know when you
- 45:28Speaker 4: see the bad offensive line play. And that's why only
- 45:31Speaker 4: five or six teams have complete offensive line because you
- 45:35Speaker 4: can't take a just a old any guy and put
- 45:37Speaker 4: him in here and try to get him in sync.
- 45:39Speaker 3: You have to have above average guy.
- 45:41Speaker 4: Every one of them guys you named, Kevin Gogan, Nate Newton,
- 45:44Speaker 4: Mark Stepnosky, Mark two, and they we were either free
- 45:49Speaker 4: agents or we were eighth round picks or fourth round picks,
- 45:52Speaker 4: but we were above average offensive linma and we could
- 45:56Speaker 4: all get in sync and we stayed healthy.
- 46:00Speaker 3: Key here one last one is a text question from
- 46:03Speaker 3: Jeremy and Woodbridge, Virginia. He says, great, Cheryld, thanks for
- 46:06Speaker 3: creating an outlet for the fans. He's not sold on
- 46:09Speaker 3: Tyler Beatda. She wants to ask Nate, what would your
- 46:12Speaker 3: scotting report be on him and any options for the
- 46:17Speaker 3: trade deadline. I don't know about it. Ain't nobody out there,
- 46:20Speaker 3: but what's your scotting report on on Tyler Beyondas.
- 46:23Speaker 4: He's a C plus B minus player and as long
- 46:28Speaker 4: as he's healthy, everything would be oddish is predicated on
- 46:32Speaker 4: health I ain't talking about the little nix and bruises.
- 46:34Speaker 4: You know, you get on your arms and maybe a
- 46:36Speaker 4: little sore back or something. Ain't I'm talking about injured. Yeah, well,
- 46:40Speaker 4: you get that ankle really wrench, you get that hamstring
- 46:44Speaker 4: really pulled. He everything is based off him being healthy.
- 46:48Speaker 3: Did y'all have C plus B minus players in the nineties? Uh? Yeah,
- 46:53Speaker 3: dependent depending the names. But I mean, let me say
- 46:55Speaker 3: this right here.
- 46:56Speaker 4: Uh, the great Tim Callishall wrote an article that too
- 46:59Speaker 4: in the mark to a Kevin Gogan and Nate Noton. Uh,
- 47:04Speaker 4: not only will you not be in a Super Bowl,
- 47:06Speaker 4: you won't even win a playoff game. Coaching makes all
- 47:10Speaker 4: the difference in the world, but time heals it all,
- 47:14Speaker 4: puts it off, puts the glue.
- 47:16Speaker 3: Time.
- 47:16Speaker 4: If coach Mike Clauri had enough time in practice or
- 47:21Speaker 4: before practice or after practice, he could put this offensive
- 47:24Speaker 4: line together better.
- 47:25Speaker 3: During the offseason. He needed more time.
- 47:28Speaker 4: The biggest thing that crushed him is when our right
- 47:30Speaker 4: guard held out. I mean, get your money, and I'm
- 47:33Speaker 4: glad he did. I think he's worth ever repent of it.
- 47:35Speaker 4: But when he held out, he blew the whole scene.
- 47:38Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you're going to credit coaching. I mean,
- 47:40Speaker 3: let's also remember this, like maybe the reporter was was
- 47:45Speaker 3: way off, which was I mean, know what I mean?
- 47:47Speaker 3: And that happens all the time, is that it's so Kelly,
- 47:50Speaker 3: he's Rick.
- 47:51Speaker 4: But no, but the type of coaching we was getting
- 47:54Speaker 4: at the time before these guys came in, he was
- 47:57Speaker 4: correct because we couldn't get in sync.
- 47:59Speaker 9: We never knew we were doing.
- 48:01Speaker 3: But when coach coach, why not say that? Then why
- 48:04Speaker 3: not say that this coach is that he didn't he
- 48:06Speaker 3: didn't know.
- 48:08Speaker 4: See Nick, you got to give Nick now, but you
- 48:14Speaker 4: got to get no Listen, you got to give yourself
- 48:16Speaker 4: credit because you were willing to look at both sides
- 48:19Speaker 4: of the picture.
- 48:20Speaker 3: Right. But when you're back.
- 48:22Speaker 4: In the day, when a reporter saying something, it wasn't
- 48:25Speaker 4: It wasn't another outlet dispute it.
- 48:27Speaker 3: It was it was the word I get it. The
- 48:29Speaker 3: thing that bothers me. Sometimes with media it happens a lot.
- 48:32Speaker 3: Is Okay, this team picks I picked USC to win
- 48:36Speaker 3: the national championship or whatever, and they lose two games,
- 48:40Speaker 3: and then like, well, what's wrong with them? Whether they're
- 48:43Speaker 3: not very good, they didn't live up to expectations. Well,
- 48:45Speaker 3: maybe you just suck as a reporter, Maybe you suck
- 48:48Speaker 3: at evaluating. I'm just saying that happens all the time,
- 48:50Speaker 3: the word media throws stuff out there, their predictions, and
- 48:54Speaker 3: then they're wrong, and then they point the fingers of
- 48:56Speaker 3: why they were wrong. Maybe you just didn't evaluate it correct.
- 48:59Speaker 3: That's the way I look at it. So anyways, all right,
