- 0:20Speaker 1: What is Up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline? Tuesday, December the
- 0:25Speaker 1: tenth Cowboys tough loss against the Cincinnati Bengals twenty seven
- 0:30Speaker 1: to twenty. I called it a gut punch, another one
- 0:33Speaker 1: to this season. I don't know how you can describe
- 0:36Speaker 1: it any other way. From the Cowboys standpoint, had a
- 0:38Speaker 1: chance to win. It never felt like it was one
- 0:41Speaker 1: that to me, it never felt like it was a
- 0:44Speaker 1: game they were going to win. I said this several
- 0:47Speaker 1: times in the press boxes, like it just feels like
- 0:49Speaker 1: they're down by ten, and they were up three at
- 0:52Speaker 1: that point in the fourth quarter, but it just felt
- 0:54Speaker 1: like that's the hill was still there and a lot
- 0:59Speaker 1: of play to talk about in the game, just ones
- 1:03Speaker 1: that obviously the big one with and the punt block
- 1:10Speaker 1: that wasn't And it's just as I wrote last night,
- 1:14Speaker 1: only this season. Can you can you have a game
- 1:18Speaker 1: losing punt block? I mean, you block a punt and lose,
- 1:22Speaker 1: that's that wraps up your whole season. I mean, the
- 1:25Speaker 1: game's tied twenty to twenty two minute warning. They're pushed
- 1:29Speaker 1: back fourth and twenty seven, fourth and twenty seven. Okay,
- 1:33Speaker 1: they're at at and T Stadium, and they've got to
- 1:36Speaker 1: get to the star. That's how that far they've got
- 1:39Speaker 1: and the punt and I'm watching this punt again, and
- 1:41Speaker 1: that's one thing that I think is just such a
- 1:43Speaker 1: crazy it's a I don't know if it's a bad
- 1:46Speaker 1: rule or whatever, but they didn't even get twenty seven yards.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The ball didn't even go there. I get. I know
- 1:51Speaker 1: that's the rule though, the ball goes forward past the
- 1:53Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, but you know, the Cowboys never got
- 1:56Speaker 1: possession of the ball. That's one thing that maybe they
- 1:58Speaker 1: should change that rule. Either way, they get a punt
- 2:02Speaker 1: blocked and it turns out to be a negative play
- 2:05Speaker 1: only this season, all right, eight a A eight five.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I'll let you guys do a lot of the talking
- 2:11Speaker 1: on that play and the entire game. Let's start it
- 2:15Speaker 1: off with Irene in faalse Church Virginia. Irene, what's up?
- 2:20Speaker 4: Hey?
- 2:20Speaker 5: Good more? Oh man? How do I start on this one?
- 2:23Speaker 5: So this was difficult game, devastated for overshown.
- 2:28Speaker 6: Poor guy.
- 2:28Speaker 5: I don't even I don't even know. Just last night
- 2:31Speaker 5: I was telling a friend he's my favorite player on
- 2:33Speaker 5: the team, and then gruesome injury. People are suggesting he
- 2:36Speaker 5: might be out all next season. I'm sure we don't
- 2:38Speaker 5: have an official update on that yet, but it just, man,
- 2:41Speaker 5: I hate it for him and for the team and
- 2:43Speaker 5: for any transition of three four. I'm sure it changes
- 2:47Speaker 5: our draft ideas.
- 2:49Speaker 7: A little bit.
- 2:50Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Next, It's tough, man, It's tough being a fan, So
- 2:55Speaker 5: shout out to all of us, because when something embarrassing
- 2:58Speaker 5: like that or Wario our Odora play happens, I mean,
- 3:02Speaker 5: you just don't stop hearing it. It's replayed and you
- 3:04Speaker 5: just you just feel the way of it, at least
- 3:06Speaker 5: I do.
- 3:06Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 3:07Speaker 5: Maybe I'm crazy, probably, and I was so excited for
- 3:10Speaker 5: siding and now I'm like, cout it. But you know,
- 3:13Speaker 5: we need depths right now, so we'll see what happens.
- 3:16Speaker 7: Uh.
- 3:17Speaker 5: It's not like I was mad at Mike McCarthy for
- 3:19Speaker 5: not giving the ball to Uh lip Key last season
- 3:23Speaker 5: for one fumble, so I probably shouldn't do the same
- 3:26Speaker 5: fielders the same way about Arri that I didn't like
- 3:29Speaker 5: him feeling. I do feel like you take on your
- 3:32Speaker 5: coach's aggression. Although I wasn't listening to Shocking Cowboys, it
- 3:35Speaker 5: sounds like he thought he was trying to fall on
- 3:37Speaker 5: the ball. But still just get away from it anyway.
- 3:40Speaker 8: It is, it is what it is.
- 3:42Speaker 5: One last thing, I'll be a little spicy here if
- 3:45Speaker 5: Kelly fin Glass give the pink slip to that cheerleader.
- 3:49Speaker 5: We don't need cheerleaders cheering for other tears. I know
- 3:53Speaker 5: she won't fire her today, but at the end of
- 3:55Speaker 5: the season, we don't need that. All right, that's it,
- 3:57Speaker 5: thank you.
- 3:58Speaker 1: But I'll let other shows talk about that one. But
- 4:05Speaker 1: we'll stay to the game. You know, Yeah, the the
- 4:10Speaker 1: over play it it sucks because like the ironic of
- 4:18Speaker 1: it all ironic part of this is the fact that
- 4:21Speaker 1: he was signed yesterday, Like it's rare to be signed
- 4:24Speaker 1: the day of the game, but because it's a Monday
- 4:26Speaker 1: night game, he was actually added to the roster that day.
- 4:31Speaker 1: And and you know, and because of the depth you
- 4:35Speaker 1: know that they needed, they needed some help there at corner.
- 4:38Speaker 1: And I thought when I saw him being added in
- 4:41Speaker 1: some of the other moves that they made, I thought, well,
- 4:43Speaker 1: maybe try von Diggs isn't gonna play, but you know
- 4:45Speaker 1: they did it for depth. He's a good, solid player.
- 4:48Speaker 1: He's a good player. He played well. Remember the Giants
- 4:52Speaker 1: game way back in Week four where he picked off
- 4:54Speaker 1: the pass to save the game. And he started there,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and he started the next few. I think he's a
- 5:00Speaker 1: good player, But you know, you just kind of get
- 5:03Speaker 1: caught in the moment and and you know, we see
- 5:05Speaker 1: it from our vantage point. You know, we see the
- 5:08Speaker 1: whole thing develop and so everybody kind of knows the
- 5:11Speaker 1: rules and all that. I you know, I think from
- 5:12Speaker 1: what I've heard, he kind of got turned around, and
- 5:15Speaker 1: when he got turned around, he you know, he's not
- 5:17Speaker 1: sure what he's seeing. But at the same time, you
- 5:21Speaker 1: don't have to. It doesn't matter if the ball rolls
- 5:24Speaker 1: four or five more yards whatever. You're not trying to
- 5:26Speaker 1: say field position here. You're just trying to keep the ball.
- 5:28Speaker 1: And so, yeah, you would love for him to just
- 5:31Speaker 1: get away from it. He should have. He should have
- 5:32Speaker 1: done that. He's a veteran player too, he should have
- 5:34Speaker 1: got away from it. So I'm not one that's going
- 5:36Speaker 1: to sit here and blame the coaches on this. I
- 5:39Speaker 1: if y'all do it, that's fine. But I don't. I
- 5:42Speaker 1: don't think so. This is a veteran player. Everybody in
- 5:45Speaker 1: the press box knows the rule. These players know it
- 5:47Speaker 1: as well. He got caught up in the moment. All right,
- 5:50Speaker 1: let's go to Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael, what's up?
- 5:53Speaker 4: Hey, Well, I'm sure, I'm sure I have a different
- 5:59Speaker 4: first effective on the game that most of your college
- 6:02Speaker 4: are going to have. I enjoyed it. I mean, I mean,
- 6:05Speaker 4: the Bengals Hurst there, They're gonna losing record, but they're
- 6:09Speaker 4: they're high powered, and we went toe to.
- 6:11Speaker 10: Toe with them, and one guy had to make.
- 6:14Speaker 4: Or Warrior had to make leon Let move and.
- 6:17Speaker 10: You know it happens.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Uh. I think we're gonna still win multiple games down,
- 6:24Speaker 4: you know, the last four games of the season.
- 6:26Speaker 10: Uh.
- 6:28Speaker 4: I think I believe the coaching staff should be back
- 6:32Speaker 4: in as the whole they are next season and uh,
- 6:36Speaker 4: you know, worked this thing over again with with healthy
- 6:40Speaker 4: players and some new ones. I enjoyed it. I liked it.
- 6:43Speaker 4: I don't blame Parsons for being upset. You know, he
- 6:46Speaker 4: got victory taking that, you know, right at that and
- 6:51Speaker 4: he was just upset and it just shows he's a
- 6:54Speaker 4: strong competitor, and I liked it, so I'm happy with it.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I mean, you don't really want to trade Michael Parsons, like, like,
- 7:04Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm just speaking in general here, Michael,
- 7:06Speaker 1: I don't I don't think you've you've been that guy
- 7:09Speaker 1: that said that, but I mean, Michael Parsons, Hey, I'm
- 7:14Speaker 1: looking at the stats. He had zero tackles in the game.
- 7:19Speaker 1: He has zero sacks, and he played his ass off
- 7:24Speaker 1: like he a lot. He was got doubled, he got
- 7:29Speaker 1: tripled a couple of times. He is fighting through it,
- 7:31Speaker 1: he's running, he's chasing like he played outstanding, and you
- 7:36Speaker 1: look at the stat stats and you're like, you didn't
- 7:39Speaker 1: do anything when you watch the game and you're like
- 7:42Speaker 1: he was trying to wreck the game and he doesn't
- 7:45Speaker 1: really have a stat I'm sure he'll have about eight pressures.
- 7:49Speaker 1: But yeah, anyways, sorry, I'm sure you have another And
- 7:53Speaker 1: you're right about going on.
- 7:56Speaker 4: With piggy Bank and what you said, he's only going
- 7:58Speaker 4: to get better.
- 7:59Speaker 10: Yeah, get rid of me.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's.
- 8:02Speaker 4: All I had just wanted to get put some optimism
- 8:05Speaker 4: out there.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Okay, I appreciate it. Thank you for the for the call.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Michael uh And and and you're right, I mean it
- 8:13Speaker 1: was it was an entertaining game. I mean, of course,
- 8:16Speaker 1: it was a fun game. It was one of those
- 8:18Speaker 1: it's Funday night football, you know, it's they're going toe
- 8:21Speaker 1: to toe. You've got a top three quarterback in the league.
- 8:25Speaker 1: It depends on how you want to slice it. I mean,
- 8:27Speaker 1: he's he's outstanding. You've got a top three receiver whoever
- 8:33Speaker 1: you want to say, is number one, two, three, whatever.
- 8:36Speaker 1: He's up there and Chase he beat some he cost
- 8:41Speaker 1: some people some fantasy football games, and he won them
- 8:44Speaker 1: for some others as well. I can promise you that
- 8:46Speaker 1: I know that actually, But you've got Cooper Rush on
- 8:52Speaker 1: the other side, and the offense isn't the same. I
- 8:55Speaker 1: mean everything has just grinding for every single thing, even
- 8:59Speaker 1: the first touchdown of the games fourth and one, and
- 9:02Speaker 1: what a beautiful throw that Cooper Rush made for the touchdown.
- 9:06Speaker 1: But so it was, it was a it was a
- 9:09Speaker 1: it was a fun game back and forth. They got
- 9:11Speaker 1: the turnover there with with Malie Cooker, and then the
- 9:17Speaker 1: game was lost to me with when they when they
- 9:20Speaker 1: had to two chances in a row for a fumble
- 9:22Speaker 1: and they didn't get it. And I looked right at
- 9:24Speaker 1: Derek Gigleton next to me, and I said that they
- 9:27Speaker 1: just lost. They lost the game because you have to
- 9:31Speaker 1: take advantage of those Christmas season. I say it every year.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I'll say it again. Someone wraps up a present, hands
- 9:38Speaker 1: it to you, you say thank you, and you open it.
- 9:43Speaker 1: You open it. You don't give it back and say, nah,
- 9:45Speaker 1: it's okay, just regift it. You don't do that. And
- 9:47Speaker 1: that's what they did. That's what they did because they
- 9:49Speaker 1: had an opportunity there. I still think the guy fumbled
- 9:52Speaker 1: on Trayvon Diggs's play. I still think he was tucking
- 9:54Speaker 1: it away as a football move, making a move and
- 9:57Speaker 1: he fumbled. But they you couldn't challenge it. They've already
- 9:59Speaker 1: looked at it. But the very next play you get
- 10:02Speaker 1: a sack in a fumble that that usually is the
- 10:04Speaker 1: karma there, you know, you know in basketball, when the
- 10:07Speaker 1: guy's like he didn't really get found, but he goes
- 10:09Speaker 1: to the line and he misses too. You like, see,
- 10:12Speaker 1: that's that's what it's supposed to be. That's what was
- 10:14Speaker 1: supposed to happen there. Fumble and then you get it.
- 10:16Speaker 1: But they didn't get it, and that to me was
- 10:18Speaker 1: the difference in the game. Let's go to Brian in
- 10:19Speaker 1: Kansas City.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, morning.
- 10:23Speaker 1: How you doing.
- 10:24Speaker 2: I'm doing great, man.
- 10:26Speaker 8: That was.
- 10:28Speaker 2: A terrible outcome and I want to echo my thoughts
- 10:32Speaker 2: for overshown. Just awful to see that. But wow, what
- 10:38Speaker 2: an entertaining game. Again. Cooper Rush surprises me as a
- 10:44Speaker 2: as a perennial backup. Somehow, some way. He's a competitive guy. Yeah,
- 10:52Speaker 2: he gets in there. He wins some games, he lose them,
- 10:55Speaker 2: but he somehow he competes no matter what the state,
- 11:00Speaker 2: who he's competing against. And I have to say, and
- 11:04Speaker 2: I don't remember the guy's name. I think he's from Minnesota.
- 11:07Speaker 2: That says about you know, we got to have the
- 11:08Speaker 2: great offense. Yeah, defensive lie, but our offensive.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Line, yeah, it was pretty good.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Shocking three. This is three games where we don't have
- 11:19Speaker 2: the normal guys out there, and they're running the ball
- 11:25Speaker 2: like you know, I don't want to say nineties Cowboys,
- 11:27Speaker 2: but they're running the ball significantly better than they were
- 11:31Speaker 2: the first half of the year.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Rinco Dadle is eighteen terrries one one with averaging seven
- 11:37Speaker 1: yards of pop.
- 11:39Speaker 2: It's just crazy. I mean, maybe we're going to stumble
- 11:42Speaker 2: into who the people are going forward, you know, you know,
- 11:47Speaker 2: maybe that's what's going to happen. Uh, you know the
- 11:50Speaker 2: I guess the thing with the you know, the special
- 11:53Speaker 2: teams play is just, I mean weird that it happened
- 11:56Speaker 2: to us, right Leon let Thanksgiving? Yeah, you know they
- 12:01Speaker 2: mentioned it on the broadcast and you're like, wow, really
- 12:04Speaker 2: this happened to us twice. So but like you said,
- 12:08Speaker 2: that's the game, hey man, anything that you My my
- 12:12Speaker 2: takeaway was I was really impressed with the offensive line.
- 12:16Speaker 2: I wanted to get what was your favorite positive takeaway
- 12:20Speaker 2: from this game? And I'll hang up with the brother
- 12:22Speaker 2: have a good.
- 12:23Speaker 1: One, thank you.
- 12:26Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I mean yes, brock Hoffman playing guard moves the center
- 12:32Speaker 1: with BB out and they move the ball. I mean,
- 12:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna do the stat here for tomorrow's show.
- 12:38Speaker 1: But I mean, like you know, when he when he's
- 12:42Speaker 1: in the game, they have success, they have success running
- 12:45Speaker 1: the ball. And it's a small sample size, but he's
- 12:49Speaker 1: gonna be bigger and bigger here because because he's gonna
- 12:52Speaker 1: play the last four games at some some spot, maybe guard,
- 12:55Speaker 1: maybe center, depends on the health of of BB you know,
- 12:58Speaker 1: Bybe had a concussion. They cleared him, then they came
- 13:02Speaker 1: back and then he said, now he's he's not cleared now.
- 13:05Speaker 1: And you know now this remember is a short week
- 13:08Speaker 1: and this was the same thing happened to Ferguson. Ferguson
- 13:11Speaker 1: had a concussion on Monday night football against Houston. He
- 13:14Speaker 1: didn't play the next game or the next game. So
- 13:18Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see how it is with with with Babie.
- 13:20Speaker 1: But I thought from the takeaway standpoint, I thought that
- 13:23Speaker 1: the way they ran the ball, I thought I thought
- 13:25Speaker 1: Rico ran it really well. He had some nice holes
- 13:29Speaker 1: as well, and so that that was my takeaway for
- 13:33Speaker 1: the game there. All right, let's go to Robin Vegas. Hey, hey, Rob,
- 13:40Speaker 1: what's up?
- 13:40Speaker 11: It was? It was editating. I mean, the difference was
- 13:44Speaker 11: Joe Burrow. We figured out he's just too good. Uh,
- 13:49Speaker 11: I thought, uh, it kind of just touched on him.
- 13:53Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy just he must watch the Progressive backup commercial.
- 14:00Speaker 11: You got to see that commercial because he kept doing
- 14:04Speaker 11: that the Rico Dad, if we go get us inside
- 14:06Speaker 11: the red zone, I'm gonna take you out now and
- 14:08Speaker 11: I'm gonna put the backup in Zeken and I kept
- 14:12Speaker 11: yelling at the TV why this guy's washed? What are
- 14:15Speaker 11: we doing? And the reason why?
- 14:18Speaker 7: You just said we.
- 14:19Speaker 11: Were getting like seven yards a clip and he never
- 14:23Speaker 11: gave Rico the touches.
- 14:25Speaker 12: Enough touches.
- 14:26Speaker 11: This kid is having a career night. He just at
- 14:29Speaker 11: the outpurative line. No matter who they threw in there.
- 14:32Speaker 11: Bath Hoffman is just awesome. They were running the ball
- 14:37Speaker 11: and am sorry and just get away from it at
- 14:41Speaker 11: the long time, you know, especially you got a backup quarterback,
- 14:45Speaker 11: he's just average. This is the best thing they were
- 14:48Speaker 11: doing on the punt block. Why why even that's where
- 14:54Speaker 11: the coaching and that's where I just I had it
- 14:57Speaker 11: with Mike McCarthy. I'm sorry, you get on the headset
- 15:02Speaker 11: and you say we're doing a return only I don't
- 15:05Speaker 11: care if they poled down because what imagine roughing the kicker.
- 15:12Speaker 11: There's no you got the best returner in football. You
- 15:15Speaker 11: got the best kicker in football. Just return the bull normally,
- 15:20Speaker 11: don't go for the block. The kid that yeah, he
- 15:23Speaker 11: should have new a rule, but who knows. And over
- 15:26Speaker 11: shown it's devastated. This team is so naked it with linebackers.
- 15:32Speaker 11: Vander ch Sean Lee. I mean where I unfluctuately. I
- 15:37Speaker 11: just think over shown is going to be that guy
- 15:39Speaker 11: You're gonna say, what if? What if he didn't different?
- 15:43Speaker 11: Because it was a deva devastating injuries. It's not like
- 15:47Speaker 11: I was hoping maybe it was a sprain. From what
- 15:50Speaker 11: I'm hearing, it's it's it's awful. But I don't know.
- 15:55Speaker 11: The game was at The defense played great. You know
- 15:59Speaker 11: they held him. That's one points. You're right, Michael was flying.
- 16:03Speaker 11: If the only you can get a pass rush from
- 16:05Speaker 11: the other side, it would have been awesome because Michael
- 16:09Speaker 11: had him so many times and he just kind of
- 16:11Speaker 11: knock out. But my thing is, I'm sorry that the
- 16:14Speaker 11: coaching when it comes to the red zone and uh
- 16:17Speaker 11: and it comes to just running the ball. You had
- 16:20Speaker 11: the guys, the guy was doing it, and you pull
- 16:23Speaker 11: them out and you put in a guy that has
- 16:26Speaker 11: done nothing all year. I just I just don't get it.
- 16:29Speaker 11: I just don't get it. But now Jerry needs to
- 16:32Speaker 11: keep his put his GM hat on, and now you
- 16:34Speaker 11: have to play people that you need to see. I
- 16:38Speaker 11: don't care if Mike thinks he's still keep his job
- 16:42Speaker 11: by winning a couple of guit now I want to
- 16:44Speaker 11: see what flower noo I can do, because I know
- 16:46Speaker 11: what Tobert can do, and he can't do much. Mingo
- 16:49Speaker 11: gives you nothing. Stop playing some guys that so you
- 16:53Speaker 11: know what you have for next year. Get ahead, start.
- 16:56Speaker 11: He got four.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Games, all right, thanks for the call. I disagree on Mingo.
- 17:00Speaker 1: I mean you said that about Mingo gives you nothing.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Mingo has never got a pass that's thrown in his
- 17:04Speaker 1: area code since he got here, and probably since he
- 17:06Speaker 1: was in Carolina as well. He I don't know what
- 17:10Speaker 1: it is. I mean, it's funny. It's almost a joke.
- 17:12Speaker 12: Now.
- 17:12Speaker 1: I mean, he can't absolutely get the ball anywhere close
- 17:16Speaker 1: to him, but if if that, if he can can
- 17:22Speaker 1: get in the groove in the offense, and maybe part
- 17:25Speaker 1: of it is him, maybe part of it he's not
- 17:26Speaker 1: running the right routes just yet and all that. But
- 17:29Speaker 1: if you just watch him, it's fun to watch. I'm
- 17:32Speaker 1: talking about Mingo. The guy blocks better than the tight
- 17:36Speaker 1: ends that I've seen for this team. He he you
- 17:39Speaker 1: line him up of all the all the players that
- 17:42Speaker 1: can block, and he's not. He's going to finish ahead
- 17:44Speaker 1: of some of your tight ends for sure, definitely over
- 17:47Speaker 1: your your receivers, and so you can yell at me
- 17:49Speaker 1: and want and say, oh, great, fourth round. We got
- 17:52Speaker 1: a fourth round, you know, pick for a blocking receiver.
- 17:56Speaker 1: We got a physical receiver. It's physical receiver. I think
- 18:00Speaker 1: he'll he'll he's he's got some burths, he'll be he'll be. Okay.
- 18:04Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a pretty solid player. I
- 18:06Speaker 1: really do him. He's got the physical traits. He needs
- 18:10Speaker 1: to get coached up right, I think he will. I
- 18:12Speaker 1: think I might have something there, But then again, it's
- 18:15Speaker 1: too early to tell. I'm just going on a tangent
- 18:17Speaker 1: there that you talked about a lot of other things.
- 18:21Speaker 1: I just I'm not putting this one on I'm not
- 18:22Speaker 1: putting the play on the coaches.
- 18:25Speaker 7: I'm not.
- 18:26Speaker 1: That's I'm sorry, We've we've everybody knows that rule. He
- 18:30Speaker 1: knows that rule. You've got to you've got to not
- 18:32Speaker 1: make a play. I mean, you've got to not just
- 18:34Speaker 1: touch the ball. You don't try to make a play
- 18:36Speaker 1: in that in that scenario, I'm not even blaming the
- 18:39Speaker 1: punt block. There's one guy. There's always one guy rushing,
- 18:43Speaker 1: and and he's a special teams player. We're talking about
- 18:45Speaker 1: Nick vigil he did it. He missed it by an inch,
- 18:50Speaker 1: like one inch. Think about think about that's that's the
- 18:54Speaker 1: game of football. You saw it in Kansas City. The
- 18:56Speaker 1: guy joints the ball in, they win the division. That's
- 18:59Speaker 1: the season. Can in the city has they get three kickers?
- 19:02Speaker 1: Guy just you know it's a it's an extra point
- 19:05Speaker 1: and he hits the bar and it goes in. Cowboys
- 19:08Speaker 1: block a punt one more inch, that ball goes backwards.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Maybe it's a safety. That would even be the best thing.
- 19:15Speaker 1: A safety would be the best scenario. Then you get
- 19:17Speaker 1: the ball and the lead. But maybe you get it
- 19:20Speaker 1: on the one maybe a touchdown, who knows, But no,
- 19:23Speaker 1: it goes the other way. Not only does it go
- 19:25Speaker 1: the other way, but then takes another crazy hop and
- 19:28Speaker 1: and you know that's what right into over. That's just
- 19:33Speaker 1: the way this season is. But the overshown man unbelievable
- 19:39Speaker 1: bad luck for him, and and the timing of it
- 19:43Speaker 1: is really bad because how much is he going to
- 19:46Speaker 1: be available next year, if at all. I'm hoping for
- 19:51Speaker 1: the best though, with him a great person and uh
- 19:56Speaker 1: great player, and it's just it's it's just another really
- 20:00Speaker 1: devastating injury for this team. All right, we're going to
- 20:03Speaker 1: take our first break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be

- 22:04Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to Cowboys Storyline. Talking about the
- 22:08Speaker 1: cowboys twenty seven twenty loss to the Bengals on Monday
- 22:12Speaker 1: Night Football, very entertaining, game. I think, you know, you
- 22:17Speaker 1: should be proud of the team, the cowboy, but but
- 22:20Speaker 1: that's not what you know we're looking for here. I
- 22:23Speaker 1: mean not talking about moral victories here. Uh, this is
- 22:26Speaker 1: a chance to win. I mean he had a chance
- 22:28Speaker 1: to go to win three straight to get to six
- 22:30Speaker 1: and seven. And I called this the fork in the
- 22:32Speaker 1: road game. This is it. This is the fork in
- 22:34Speaker 1: the road. This is what are you gonna do? Are
- 22:35Speaker 1: you gonna go left, You're gonna go right? Are you
- 22:37Speaker 1: going to to to really be a serious contender? And
- 22:40Speaker 1: I don't even know if winning the game would have
- 22:42Speaker 1: made you a serious contender because you beat a four
- 22:44Speaker 1: and eight at the time, you would have beaten a
- 22:46Speaker 1: four and eight Bengals team, But but you would have
- 22:49Speaker 1: been the best quarterback that you defeated all year. And uh,
- 22:53Speaker 1: and it was there, it was there to go win it.
- 22:58Speaker 1: And yeah, you just just fell right through their hands.
- 23:01Speaker 1: So I know you guys are frustrated. I appreciate the calls.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Let's keep it rolling here, Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida
- 23:07Speaker 1: is next.
- 23:08Speaker 7: What's up, Nick? We need some positivity. I got some man, Okay,
- 23:12Speaker 7: I'm not being defensive today. Either man. You can say
- 23:15Speaker 7: anything you want and I'll be happy. You know why,
- 23:17Speaker 7: because we played our hearts out and we played good football.
- 23:22Speaker 7: Our defense looks solid. I'm gonna agree with everything Rob
- 23:25Speaker 7: said except two points. I agree with the block or
- 23:28Speaker 7: trying to. I mean, because like you said, any given fundy,
- 23:32Speaker 7: it's the game of inches, right, it's one of the
- 23:34Speaker 7: trenches and they're that one half inch or one quarter
- 23:36Speaker 7: inch change that whole game.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Here's why I don't hate it, though I'm gonna cut
- 23:39Speaker 1: you off. Here's why I don't hate it. This team.
- 23:42Speaker 1: This is not like Joe Burrow gets the ball at midfield,
- 23:45Speaker 1: game's over. R When they got the ball right, game's over.
- 23:48Speaker 1: If Cooper rus gets the ball at midfield, is it over?
- 23:51Speaker 1: Like they're two minute offense is not good. That's one thing.
- 23:54Speaker 7: See I disagree with you. I think if we get
- 23:57Speaker 7: the ball at midfield with two minutes left, we got
- 23:59Speaker 7: a kicker, they can kick it sixty five.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he need yards. Okay, they probably would
- 24:04Speaker 1: have kicked kicked the field goal there, but but nothing's guaranteed,
- 24:08Speaker 1: even getting a first down. And so I I even
- 24:12Speaker 1: said it in the press box, I said, hey, bones,
- 24:15Speaker 1: you got a block, you got a block? Punt in
- 24:17Speaker 1: you this year? I said it, and then boom and
- 24:19Speaker 1: devil thud. You hear it. I'm like, oh my god,
- 24:21Speaker 1: it happened. And then next thing I know, the Bengals
- 24:23Speaker 1: got the ball. But but I'm saying I didn't hate
- 24:26Speaker 1: it because this team needs that.
- 24:27Speaker 7: They needed are I agree wholeheart? They can't just move
- 24:31Speaker 7: here when it happened And oh.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Yeah, he visual made a visual, made a good play.
- 24:36Speaker 1: He made a good player. He knows how to go
- 24:38Speaker 1: and get that. He's not gonna rough the punter and
- 24:40Speaker 1: all that stuff. He made a smart play, good play.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Even if you get a five yard running into it,
- 24:45Speaker 1: you're not you don't that didn't kill you. It's fourth
- 24:47Speaker 1: and twenty.
- 24:47Speaker 7: Because there's twenty six.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what else you got?
- 24:52Speaker 7: So my buddy's a giant san He always gives me
- 24:54Speaker 7: a hard time. Not always. He's actually a pretty good
- 24:56Speaker 7: football fan.
- 24:57Speaker 1: When when would he ever give you a hard time?
- 24:59Speaker 1: Like when? And when would you have been like, oh,
- 25:01Speaker 1: you're like not as a.
- 25:02Speaker 7: Giants like ten years like ten years ago?
- 25:05Speaker 2: But not.
- 25:07Speaker 7: Reasonable? And he said something about Micah and he's like,
- 25:12Speaker 7: you know, I can't believe that he just walked off
- 25:14Speaker 7: the field and was so upset and didn't even shake
- 25:16Speaker 7: anybody's saying. And I'm like, you know what, I get
- 25:18Speaker 7: that man, that guy the whole defense. We played our
- 25:20Speaker 7: hearts out man, and to lose.
- 25:22Speaker 8: At the end like that, yea, yeah.
- 25:28Speaker 7: You know, we got three quarters of our players are
- 25:29Speaker 7: backups out there, offensive line defense, last ship the round.
- 25:33Speaker 7: Mazi looked solid even on that first drive when we
- 25:36Speaker 7: stopped him. Yeah, well that's got a double team and
- 25:39Speaker 7: held them both. That's what you're supposed to do them.
- 25:41Speaker 7: Then overshow made that first tackle in the game. It
- 25:44Speaker 7: was because of Masley. I thought it was great. Yeah,
- 25:47Speaker 7: you know, well, and I don't think it was Burla
- 25:51Speaker 7: that beat us. I think it was just like you
- 25:53Speaker 7: said that that luck or the gods or that one
- 25:56Speaker 7: inch or half an inch, I mean, because we held
- 25:59Speaker 7: Burrow and Check pretty much the whole game.
- 26:01Speaker 1: I thought, so yeah, I mean, yeah, he kept kept
- 26:03Speaker 1: our offense and and I mean yeah, that was their
- 26:06Speaker 1: game plan, was to get the ball to Chase and
- 26:08Speaker 1: and uh of course, but yeah, they it was on. Yeah,
- 26:12Speaker 1: I mean he had he has good numbers, Burrow, I
- 26:15Speaker 1: mean thirty three forty four, three sixty nine, three touchdowns,
- 26:17Speaker 1: one pick. I mean, yeah, that that's a great game.
- 26:20Speaker 7: But let's take away that last sixty yard or past
- 26:24Speaker 7: to Chase.
- 26:25Speaker 2: True.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Yeah, don't look so good without that block point. I
- 26:27Speaker 1: mean yeah, we're talking about a three hundred yard game,
- 26:29Speaker 1: two touchdowns and a pick.
- 26:31Speaker 7: Yeah, but probably a lot, but a lot. Get the
- 26:33Speaker 7: ball back in the five yard line?
- 26:35Speaker 1: Yeap?
- 26:36Speaker 7: All right, man, all right, we'll talk to you guys tomorrow.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Maybe sounds good. All right, thank you. You know, Micah
- 26:43Speaker 1: can't win. Okay, let's just let's just as simple as that.
- 26:46Speaker 1: He can't win. He's he's frustrated, he wants to win.
- 26:50Speaker 1: He's not giving up like a lot. There's different players
- 26:54Speaker 1: on the team with different attitudes, different mindsets. All that
- 26:57Speaker 1: Micah is was visibly upset. He was heartbroken. He played
- 27:03Speaker 1: so hard in that game and it was there and
- 27:08Speaker 1: you know, for him to walk off that fine, what
- 27:11Speaker 1: do you want him to do? You want him to
- 27:14Speaker 1: go and take his jersey off and trade it with
- 27:17Speaker 1: Hendrickson and take the photo. Here, you have my jersey.
- 27:21Speaker 1: You're a pass pressurer pro bowler. I'm a pass rusher,
- 27:23Speaker 1: pro bowler. See you later, stay safe. See at the
- 27:26Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, maybe bye have fun that that happens. There's
- 27:31Speaker 1: sixty other guys doing that, thirty from each team that
- 27:34Speaker 1: are doing that. You know Micah does that, he'd be
- 27:36Speaker 1: he'd be crucified. So he walked off the field pissed off.
- 27:40Speaker 6: Mad.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Okay, so you're telling me he could have played in
- 27:44Speaker 1: the eighties, in the seventies in the city. I mean,
- 27:48Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just not I'm not here to crucify
- 27:53Speaker 1: Michah Parsons for that that kind of stuff. The guy
- 27:55Speaker 1: played an amazing game. And I'll say it one more time.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I'll say it one hundred times. I resigned him tomorrow.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Figure it out the defense that'll make him even better.
- 28:06Speaker 1: And I think he's he's an unbelievable player. He needs
- 28:10Speaker 1: some help, he needs some guys around him. But but
- 28:12Speaker 1: you watch him play and you watch how tough he played.
- 28:15Speaker 1: He fights, He fights through these double teams and you're like, okay,
- 28:18Speaker 1: you see it, guard and tackle, you're not getting through. Okay.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Micah Parsons would have been the greatest red rover red
- 28:25Speaker 1: rover player of all time because he could just bust
- 28:27Speaker 1: through these grown man's hands. And get and push back
- 28:31Speaker 1: to that. He's chasing Burrow every single play. You don't
- 28:35Speaker 1: look at the stats. Uh, you can't look at the
- 28:37Speaker 1: stats sheet. With Michael Parsons, he played an unbelievable game.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Oh let's go Zach in Atlanta.
- 28:42Speaker 15: Hey, what's up?
- 28:43Speaker 8: Nick?
- 28:43Speaker 15: How are you good?
- 28:44Speaker 1: How are you?
- 28:45Speaker 8: Man?
- 28:46Speaker 15: I'm a little nauseous. We talked about the roller coaster
- 28:48Speaker 15: of a season that just felt like one of those
- 28:50Speaker 15: spinning rides at a circus, fitting that it was a
- 28:54Speaker 15: Simpsons cast. It just felt cartoonish and you know, tough,
- 28:58Speaker 15: tough way to lose. And I'm a Texas Longhorn fan too,
- 29:04Speaker 15: born and raised in Austin twenty five years, been in
- 29:06Speaker 15: Atlanta for five years now. I'm married a Georgia family,
- 29:09Speaker 15: you know what I'm saying. So I'm just like, I
- 29:11Speaker 15: can't get away from the l this weekend. But hey,
- 29:17Speaker 15: Texas Longhorns, we got all green grass in front of us,
- 29:20Speaker 15: will get there. But for the Cowboys, man, Yeah, just
- 29:23Speaker 15: a tough way to lose. You know, all all my
- 29:27Speaker 15: love to over shown. You know, he's quickly becoming my
- 29:31Speaker 15: favorite player, if you know, just hope he returns to form.
- 29:34Speaker 15: If anything, I think it was his other knee that
- 29:37Speaker 15: blew out. You know, the initial a clchair was the
- 29:40Speaker 15: other knee. He was looking healthy and so you know,
- 29:44Speaker 15: with this being the other knee, maybe you know, that'll
- 29:47Speaker 15: help just ensure that the other knee is fine and
- 29:51Speaker 15: then you know he can bounce back here. But yeah,
- 29:53Speaker 15: tough loss man with overshown. If anything, the injuries are
- 30:01Speaker 15: forcing the next man up, next, next next man up,
- 30:06Speaker 15: uh and everywhere on the field. And I'm hoping that
- 30:09Speaker 15: the coaching staff pushes that as well and gives some
- 30:12Speaker 15: down roster guys opportunity.
- 30:15Speaker 1: But got no other choice, I mean, like exactly, yeah,
- 30:18Speaker 1: may go in there and play played well.
- 30:21Speaker 15: Yeah, you know what he got. He got a sack
- 30:22Speaker 15: at the end too.
- 30:23Speaker 8: Huh.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Yeah, he got credit with the with one one and
- 30:26Speaker 1: a half sacks in the game, so.
- 30:27Speaker 10: He yeah, Well, so it is what it is.
- 30:30Speaker 15: Man, and you were talking about I think it was
- 30:33Speaker 15: you and Brian talking about uh or no its Robbie
- 30:36Speaker 15: last call about the special teams play at the end.
- 30:39Speaker 15: I mean, yeah, even if we get the ball at
- 30:42Speaker 15: the fifty, we're probably not getting a first down. Aubrey
- 30:46Speaker 15: maybe makes the field goal, but that's burning forty five
- 30:49Speaker 15: seconds off the clock. Joe Burrow gets the ball back
- 30:51Speaker 15: with a minute fifteen, and obviously they scored a touchdown
- 30:55Speaker 15: when they had the ball at midfield.
- 30:57Speaker 1: So it was they needed they needed that break, They
- 31:02Speaker 1: needed it turnover by you know when when Diggs I
- 31:05Speaker 1: thought it stripped the ball. They needed that. They needed
- 31:08Speaker 1: the next play, you know, or the punt block to
- 31:10Speaker 1: go their way.
- 31:11Speaker 15: They needed that, and they had a few and they
- 31:16Speaker 15: found a way to mess it up. I feel the
- 31:18Speaker 15: same way about Texas. They had that game too and
- 31:20Speaker 15: didn't take advantage of the opportunities. So all that the same.
- 31:23Speaker 15: I appreciate you and beam Cowboy storyline nation.
- 31:27Speaker 8: Let's keep rolling, all right, yep.
- 31:32Speaker 1: I share a lot of workspace with Texas Longhorned fans,
- 31:36Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, they're in the playoffs. So
- 31:39Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs, and they're at home in the playoffs,
- 31:42Speaker 1: and so uh they should be fine. This was a
- 31:46Speaker 1: playoff like game for the Cowboys. I mean it was
- 31:49Speaker 1: one of those you know, any you still had an
- 31:53Speaker 1: opportunity to do something. It was still a very slim chance,
- 31:57Speaker 1: but but that was it. That was the chance. I
- 32:00Speaker 1: feel like I keep saying it over and over because
- 32:01Speaker 1: that's that's what it was. It felt like a playoff game,
- 32:03Speaker 1: and it felt like a playoff loss. And when you
- 32:06Speaker 1: when you're in the locker room after the game, just
- 32:08Speaker 1: the emotions of it, you know, it was a it
- 32:12Speaker 1: was a weird setup. And and and I don't know
- 32:14Speaker 1: if a lot of people knew this or have heard this,
- 32:17Speaker 1: but I mean, it was kind of a it was
- 32:21Speaker 1: an odd scene there with Overwarrier in the locker room
- 32:25Speaker 1: and the veteran defensive backs CJ. Goodwin, Jordan Lewis basically
- 32:32Speaker 1: just just did not allow the media to talk to him,
- 32:34Speaker 1: and he got asked several times, and he kept saying.
- 32:38Speaker 1: CJ was like, no, this has not happened. This is
- 32:40Speaker 1: bigger than football. My man's going through it mentally right now.
- 32:44Speaker 1: And you could tell, you know, he was just so
- 32:46Speaker 1: distraught about the play. And I had a conversation with
- 32:51Speaker 1: with CJ and and you know, talking to him from
- 32:56Speaker 1: from my perspective and said, hey, I understand, you know,
- 32:59Speaker 1: I just hope you understand. In the media is you know,
- 33:01Speaker 1: doing what they consider to be their job. And he said, yeah,
- 33:04Speaker 1: and I'm doing my job, and my job is to
- 33:06Speaker 1: make sure my guy's sitting here. He's not he's not
- 33:08Speaker 1: right to talk to the media, so he's not going
- 33:10Speaker 1: to and so and he didn't. He didn't, So I
- 33:14Speaker 1: respect that.
- 33:16Speaker 7: You know.
- 33:16Speaker 1: It's just it was just one of those situations where
- 33:18Speaker 1: you know, the media trying to, you know, just get
- 33:22Speaker 1: his thoughts on the play and what what are you thinking?
- 33:24Speaker 15: Uh?
- 33:24Speaker 1: But the Cowboys that the defensive backs definitely rallied around.
- 33:30Speaker 10: In that in that moment.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Let's go to Josh in Chicago.
- 33:34Speaker 16: Hey, Nick, how you doing?
- 33:35Speaker 1: Good man? How are you?
- 33:37Speaker 8: Oh?
- 33:37Speaker 16: You know, I've got I've got a lot of thoughts,
- 33:39Speaker 16: but you know, I'm gonna try to make it concise
- 33:41Speaker 16: and you know, coherent and sensible. First off, shout outs
- 33:45Speaker 16: to Robbie and Cocoa Beach. I think we're both six
- 33:47Speaker 16: for six lately, so you know, got a shout out
- 33:49Speaker 16: to my guy Robbie out there. Okay, I like hearing
- 33:54Speaker 16: that about I didn't hear that beforehand, but it's it's
- 33:57Speaker 16: cool to hear that because, like, let's be honest here,
- 33:59Speaker 16: this season, there's been a lot more that's gone wrong.
- 34:02Speaker 16: The Saints game, the Falcons game, you know, Baltimore game,
- 34:05Speaker 16: forty nine ers. There's a lot more to this season
- 34:07Speaker 16: than just Ore's play, So I'm glad to hear that
- 34:12Speaker 16: the team's still rallying around him. You know, like he
- 34:14Speaker 16: made a boneheaded mistake, but like that's not the whole season.
- 34:17Speaker 16: So like, let's not you know, boil it.
- 34:19Speaker 15: Down to just him.
- 34:21Speaker 16: But the fans who are saying stuff about trading Mike
- 34:24Speaker 16: is still I mean, watch that game and if there's questions,
- 34:27Speaker 16: just you know, watch the tape, because there's no reason
- 34:30Speaker 16: to get rid of somebody who's a stud like that.
- 34:31Speaker 16: Even if you can get multiple first round picks. This
- 34:34Speaker 16: is a generational talent. You you don't let that walk
- 34:36Speaker 16: out the door. As for the block poind, I know
- 34:39Speaker 16: there's been a lot back and forth, and I can
- 34:41Speaker 16: kind of see both sides of it, but honestly, at
- 34:44Speaker 16: the end of the day, you got to win the game,
- 34:45Speaker 16: and going out there and blocking the punk would help
- 34:46Speaker 16: with that. My problem with the coaching comes comes on
- 34:50Speaker 16: the previous drive. It's three point thirty left, you got
- 34:52Speaker 16: the two minute warning, you got three timeouts, you run
- 34:55Speaker 16: the ball for twelve and then you throw three times
- 34:57Speaker 16: in a row. I mean, that's that's just where I
- 35:00Speaker 16: I have a problem with the coaching, not with the
- 35:02Speaker 16: block punk call. You gotta do what you gotta do
- 35:04Speaker 16: to win the game at that point, but the previous drive,
- 35:07Speaker 16: you know, run the ball, just run the ball. So yeah,
- 35:11Speaker 16: no that's my thoughts. Man, all right, I'll take it
- 35:13Speaker 16: off the air, so other.
- 35:14Speaker 10: People call it.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate it, thank you, Josh, you know you're you're right.
- 35:18Speaker 1: I mean, the Cowboys had the six thirty one to go,
- 35:21Speaker 1: uh and it's it's twenty to twenty and they that
- 35:26Speaker 1: was right after that double fumble and looks like they
- 35:29Speaker 1: had the ball and then they didn't and then they
- 35:31Speaker 1: got the sack and they didn't get it, and they
- 35:33Speaker 1: get the ball up to twenty and then first down
- 35:35Speaker 1: is a fourteen yard run up the middle with the
- 35:37Speaker 1: Rico you know. So now now you got first and
- 35:39Speaker 1: tenth of thirty four, six minutes to go and uh yeah,
- 35:42Speaker 1: short pass to Ferguson. That's when Cincinnati brought a ton
- 35:46Speaker 1: of pressure on that play and Ferguson, I mean, Rush
- 35:50Speaker 1: never had a shot there. Then second down deep deep
- 35:53Speaker 1: left to Cooks and then third down incomplete short left
- 35:58Speaker 1: to Turpin and they punt but you know, I mean,
- 36:04Speaker 1: the Bengals get a couple of first downs and then
- 36:08Speaker 1: that's where those two holding penalties really really like hurt.
- 36:13Speaker 1: You know, they had a couple of penalties on that
- 36:16Speaker 1: drive that pushed it back to fourth and twenty seven.
- 36:18Speaker 1: And then there's a sack too. But you know, I
- 36:22Speaker 1: thought that those might be the difference in the game.
- 36:23Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I mean, you were a guy
- 36:26Speaker 1: runs the ball fourteen yards on first down, I mean
- 36:28Speaker 1: I would think some point in the next three three
- 36:30Speaker 1: plays he could get another carry. Uh, he's averaging seven
- 36:34Speaker 1: yards to carry. So that's that's the one where you know,
- 36:39Speaker 1: McCarthy has said this before, and he said it with
- 36:43Speaker 1: Kellen Moore as the offensive coordinator. You know, there was
- 36:45Speaker 1: that Jacksonville game a couple of years ago that might
- 36:48Speaker 1: have been you know, the reason why they moved on
- 36:50Speaker 1: from Kellen Moore that that they were winning by seventeen.
- 36:54Speaker 1: They kept throwing it, they kept getting cute, they didn't
- 36:56Speaker 1: run the ball as much. And he takes over as
- 36:58Speaker 1: the play caller and he still see some of that.
- 37:00Speaker 1: You still see some of that like why are we
- 37:02Speaker 1: you know it's this year there's been the Giants game
- 37:05Speaker 1: is another one where they're up fourteen and they're throwing
- 37:08Speaker 1: three times in a row. You know, I understand when
- 37:11Speaker 1: you're not running it, like okay, why why don't we
- 37:13Speaker 1: run the ball because you can't run it? But that's
- 37:15Speaker 1: not the excuse right now, this team is running the
- 37:17Speaker 1: football well. And in a game like that, you know,
- 37:21Speaker 1: you run the ball and you get first downs. Guess
- 37:23Speaker 1: who doesn't have the ball? Joe Burrow. So I agree
- 37:27Speaker 1: with your point there. Let's go to Sergeant Sue in
- 37:29Speaker 1: Fort Worth.
- 37:30Speaker 6: Hey, how are you doing?
- 37:31Speaker 14: Nick?
- 37:31Speaker 7: Good?
- 37:31Speaker 10: How are you great?
- 37:33Speaker 16: Eddy's everybody?
- 37:35Speaker 6: Yeah, man, this was a tough, tough loss. And I agree.
- 37:38Speaker 6: I don't always agree, and we're in the same chat,
- 37:40Speaker 6: so he knows this. I don't always agree with with
- 37:42Speaker 6: what Rob says, but I liked his call today. I mean,
- 37:46Speaker 6: Burrow is just a good good players, is a good offense.
- 37:48Speaker 6: So they've been putting up you know, thirty forty points
- 37:50Speaker 6: you know, some weeks.
- 37:51Speaker 7: And what I mean.
- 37:51Speaker 6: So but with that being said, I did like what
- 37:54Speaker 6: I saw from the defense and some unfortunately that a
- 37:56Speaker 6: big blow with Demo going out, you know, really unfortunately,
- 38:00Speaker 6: I know everybody's already talked about it where it's just
- 38:02Speaker 6: so devastating because the kid plays his hard out and
- 38:05Speaker 6: you know, he's just such a such a spart to
- 38:07Speaker 6: this defense. So it's really tough that that he's gone.
- 38:10Speaker 6: And I didn't want to touch on the Micah's storming
- 38:12Speaker 6: off thing because a lot of people haven't mentioned that,
- 38:15Speaker 6: and and I agree with your sentiment. I mean, when
- 38:18Speaker 6: he's doing podcasts and it seems like he doesn't care,
- 38:21Speaker 6: people have an issue when he's storming off because he's
- 38:23Speaker 6: so passionate and he plays so hard, people have an
- 38:25Speaker 6: issue and people need to just stop having freaking issues
- 38:28Speaker 6: with him. Honestly, he's the best. Sorry, he's the best
- 38:32Speaker 6: freaking player.
- 38:32Speaker 10: On our defense.
- 38:34Speaker 6: You know, he's hard and soul. He's a lion.
- 38:36Speaker 15: He's the leader of the pack.
- 38:37Speaker 6: Y'all gotta stop complaining about him. He's everything to this defense. Legitimately,
- 38:40Speaker 6: he's everything that he's everything. I would even go so
- 38:45Speaker 6: far to say that Demo is who Demo is because
- 38:47Speaker 6: Micah is who Micah is, you know what I mean.
- 38:49Speaker 6: I mean, he's they're feeding off of each other, you know,
- 38:51Speaker 6: So I mean I'm glad that. I mean, I'm a
- 38:53Speaker 6: passionate guy. Myself and I always talk about it the
- 38:55Speaker 6: guys in the chat though. You know, Dez Bryan's probably
- 38:58Speaker 6: one of one of my favorite Alex Cowboys of all time,
- 39:01Speaker 6: and it's because he had that passion. Yeah, he had
- 39:02Speaker 6: a little bit antichering there, but he had that.
- 39:04Speaker 11: Passion and I liked that.
- 39:05Speaker 6: I saw that from from my I liked it a lot.
- 39:07Speaker 6: And I want to bring up one thing, And if
- 39:09Speaker 6: you don't want to talk about it, Nick, one hundred
- 39:11Speaker 6: percent understand, and I respect that. I won't even say
- 39:14Speaker 6: names because I feel like it takes the person, the
- 39:15Speaker 6: personal aspect out of it. But if head coach doesn't
- 39:18Speaker 6: know if he's back yet, and GM's not willing to
- 39:21Speaker 6: tell him, how does the head coach how does he
- 39:25Speaker 6: approach these next few weeks.
- 39:26Speaker 7: Because if head coach knows he's back.
- 39:28Speaker 6: She could evaluate these young players, he could evaluate these
- 39:30Speaker 6: inexperienced players, these bubble players, he could take those steps.
- 39:33Speaker 6: Head coach can do that. But if head coach doesn't
- 39:35Speaker 6: even know if he's back, and he doesn't and Jerry Jones,
- 39:38Speaker 6: I mean, it's my bad. And GM said this morning
- 39:40Speaker 6: on the show that he doesn't want to really say
- 39:42Speaker 6: what he's evaluating. Still, how does head coach know how
- 39:45Speaker 6: to approach that?
- 39:45Speaker 9: You know?
- 39:46Speaker 6: And that's all I have.
- 39:46Speaker 8: I appreciate you, Nick, thanks.
- 39:48Speaker 1: For call fair points. At fair points for sure, I
- 39:51Speaker 1: mean because yeah, I mean when you make decisions, even
- 39:56Speaker 1: in your own personal life, you make decisions for the future,
- 39:59Speaker 1: you you're you expect to be a part of it.
- 40:02Speaker 1: And so yeah, that's it's it's definitely, uh, that's a
- 40:09Speaker 1: dynamic that that's that's gonna be interesting to see here
- 40:12Speaker 1: in the next few few weeks ago. Who's making the
- 40:14Speaker 1: decisions and who who are we making them for? That's why,
- 40:19Speaker 1: that's why if if if Mike McCarthy, you know, if
- 40:22Speaker 1: he doesn't have if he doesn't know what he's doing,
- 40:24Speaker 1: doesn't have a contract extension or whatever, then he's he's
- 40:27Speaker 1: got to go win the game, right, He's got to
- 40:28Speaker 1: go win the game. And and that's until he's told, no,
- 40:32Speaker 1: you play trade Lancer, you do this. But they're gonna
- 40:34Speaker 1: go and they're gonna play Cooper Russia. And I think
- 40:36Speaker 1: Jerry you know, made it, made that statement tuesday on
- 40:39Speaker 1: the radio as well, that they're gonna go win the game.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Let's go to one more break here on Cowboys storyline.

- 42:06Speaker 1: Welcome back to Cowboys Storyline. We got a chance to
- 42:09Speaker 1: talk to a couple more people here on the show
- 42:11Speaker 1: before we wrap this thing up. Let's go back to Atlanta.
- 42:14Speaker 1: We got a d in Atlanta. Ad.
- 42:16Speaker 7: Hey, how y'all doing today?
- 42:18Speaker 1: Good man? What's up?
- 42:19Speaker 9: I can't complain. All I asked last night was for
- 42:23Speaker 9: us to not embarrass ourself. And when the play happened
- 42:27Speaker 9: at the end of the game, I can't lie. I
- 42:28Speaker 9: was like, I was upset because I felt like that
- 42:31Speaker 9: was the most embarrassing moment. But then as you review
- 42:34Speaker 9: the play, kind of listening to what you know, everybody's
- 42:36Speaker 9: staying as far as looking at the play. Okay, we
- 42:39Speaker 9: got to move past the play. But I think that
- 42:43Speaker 9: puts more insight to what you guys are just talking about.
- 42:46Speaker 9: With the coach not really knowing if he's here or
- 42:49Speaker 9: not here, and he can't do certain things, and I mean,
- 42:53Speaker 9: controlling every aspect of the game just doesn't seem like
- 42:57Speaker 9: his forte as you want to say with Mike McCarthy.
- 43:01Speaker 9: So more than anything, I think last night just kind
- 43:05Speaker 9: of did it for me. As far as us bringing
- 43:07Speaker 9: him back. I know it's gonna be tough to give
- 43:10Speaker 9: a DAK a new offense and maybe the defense and
- 43:13Speaker 9: new defense a coordinator. That's all gonna be tough to
- 43:16Speaker 9: starting over.
- 43:17Speaker 8: But I need.
- 43:19Speaker 9: McCarthy to kind of control things better than he did
- 43:21Speaker 9: last night, for the play calling to the end of
- 43:25Speaker 9: the game scenario, making sure we're one hundred percent.
- 43:27Speaker 7: Ready to go.
- 43:28Speaker 9: And I think perfect example is the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 43:32Speaker 9: They play games very close to the eras of them
- 43:36Speaker 9: and the other team, but their situational decision making seems
- 43:40Speaker 9: to be more in line with how to win in
- 43:43Speaker 9: the NFL than what Mike McCarthy is. So that's why
- 43:47Speaker 9: I'm done with him. It's time for us to move on.
- 43:51Speaker 9: Y'all have a blessed one, all right.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Mahomes is one of the MVP A couple of times,
- 44:00Speaker 1: you know, I think he's I think he makes quarter
- 44:03Speaker 1: he makes coaches look pretty good, and Andy Reads a
- 44:07Speaker 1: great coach in Kansas City. There's no doubt about it.
- 44:10Speaker 1: And and and you know, but when you have a
- 44:11Speaker 1: great quarterback that that that makes great plays like that,
- 44:15Speaker 1: I think that that certainly helps. But they you know,
- 44:19Speaker 1: but if you're gonna make that case about Andy Reid,
- 44:22Speaker 1: then then remember what you're saying because Andy Reid has
- 44:25Speaker 1: been in Kansas City for a long time. I mean,
- 44:28Speaker 1: he's been there at least ten ten years now at least,
- 44:30Speaker 1: and he was with Philadelphia for a long time too,
- 44:33Speaker 1: So continuity matters, and you can do that. You can
- 44:36Speaker 1: you kind of can understand. You understand what what you're
- 44:39Speaker 1: trying to do, what you can coach, the players understand you.
- 44:43Speaker 1: So when you're switching out coaches a lot, and I'm
- 44:45Speaker 1: not saying that they've done it a lot, but I'm
- 44:47Speaker 1: just saying when you when you change the continuity of things,
- 44:50Speaker 1: then you know that that that opens up the thing,
- 44:54Speaker 1: that opens up the door to have, you know, more
- 44:57Speaker 1: issues there. I'm not saying that they should shouldn't, you know,
- 45:01Speaker 1: make a change at the end of the season or
- 45:02Speaker 1: whatever they want to do, but just just remember, you know,
- 45:05Speaker 1: your your people compare things to what Kansas City does
- 45:10Speaker 1: and they they've had the same system for a long
- 45:13Speaker 1: time and so it's different there, but continuity matters, and
- 45:17Speaker 1: switching it up isn't always the best thing. But I
- 45:21Speaker 1: could promise you there would be thirty one other really
- 45:24Speaker 1: good coaches. I think if they had Mahomes at quarterback.
- 45:26Speaker 1: I believe that. I don't think anyone thinks that there's
- 45:29Speaker 1: another quarterback in the league that's better than Mahomes. So
- 45:32Speaker 1: it's always a fight for second on who's the best.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Maybe it was Burrow who they just played. All right,
- 45:37Speaker 1: Champ in Nebraska, Champ, Nebraska, Grand Island, Nebraska's where champion
- 45:41Speaker 1: is Champ?
- 45:42Speaker 8: What's up? Yes, sir, Hey, how's the game is winning?
- 45:46Speaker 1: Well?
- 45:47Speaker 8: You know, yeah, yeah, I get it. I get it.
- 45:49Speaker 8: That's kind of a silly question.
- 45:51Speaker 5: All right, hey, real quick.
- 45:53Speaker 8: I called in a talking Cowboys and I made the
- 45:55Speaker 8: reference about Ao's plays, and I compared it to leon
- 45:58Speaker 8: Let's play, and I said, Mike, to me, the difference
- 46:01Speaker 8: was when Leon Lett did that. I fully believe Leon thought,
- 46:05Speaker 8: I have to get this ball to win this game,
- 46:07Speaker 8: for us to win I took last night. To me,
- 46:11Speaker 8: it seemed like a selfish play. I felt like he
- 46:13Speaker 8: wanted to be a hero. I'm gonna grab this ball
- 46:16Speaker 8: and I'm gonna run it by, which goes back to
- 46:18Speaker 8: kind of what Juan Ye did a few weeks ago.
- 46:21Speaker 7: That one worked out. I wasn't happy with it.
- 46:24Speaker 10: I was like, just go down, keep the ball, run
- 46:26Speaker 10: the clock out.
- 46:27Speaker 12: Games over.
- 46:28Speaker 8: He scores a touchdown, he's happy. He kind of gets
- 46:31Speaker 8: a little bit of crap about.
- 46:32Speaker 10: It, and he says, next time, I'll go down.
- 46:34Speaker 8: Whatnot. I feel like those plays are selfish plays from
- 46:40Speaker 8: this team, and I don't get why.
- 46:43Speaker 10: And I could be wrong. I did need to go
- 46:45Speaker 10: back and look at that player again. Kyle disagreed with me.
- 46:47Speaker 8: Kyle said he was just trying to recover the ball
- 46:49Speaker 8: in that moment.
- 46:50Speaker 10: To me, it looked like he was.
- 46:51Speaker 8: Trying to take it on the run and go back
- 46:53Speaker 8: with it. What was your perspective of that, and also
- 46:57Speaker 8: the whole mic of thing. I was never on the
- 46:59Speaker 8: train Micah bandwagon at all. I bet I was a
- 47:04Speaker 8: little annoyed with some of the self with the podcast
- 47:06Speaker 8: and all that. Last night on the day when Micah
- 47:10Speaker 8: had zero's across the board other than pressures and hits,
- 47:14Speaker 8: he showed me exactly who he was and we better
- 47:19Speaker 8: never get rid of that guy. That is Michael Urban
- 47:23Speaker 8: almost type part right there, and this team is like
- 47:26Speaker 8: that for a long long time.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Thank thank you, great day.
- 47:30Speaker 8: We'll talk to you later.
- 47:31Speaker 1: I don't disagree there. I mean the thing about you say,
- 47:36Speaker 1: Michael Ivan, and the sergeant Sue has said it earlier
- 47:39Speaker 1: about Dez. The thing about guys like that that play
- 47:43Speaker 1: with that kind of passion, they practice with that kind
- 47:45Speaker 1: of passion. And when you practice and every day you
- 47:48Speaker 1: got the twentieth straight day of training camp, and it's
- 47:50Speaker 1: kind of the lull and all that, and then dead
- 47:53Speaker 1: starts chirping or Micah starts chirping, and then the offense
- 47:55Speaker 1: comes back, and then the guest thing. You know, they say, here,
- 47:58Speaker 1: you have a great practice. That's what those kind of
- 48:00Speaker 1: players do. And so yeah, I mean, and that's just
- 48:03Speaker 1: for practice and that that obviously gets you better. But
- 48:06Speaker 1: we saw what he did in the game, and I
- 48:08Speaker 1: agree with you there. I don't think over Warre was
- 48:12Speaker 1: trying to make a play. I don't think he was
- 48:13Speaker 1: trying to be a hero. I think he just turned
- 48:16Speaker 1: around and saw the ball and thought he needs to
- 48:18Speaker 1: get it. Not sure what's happening he needed to get it.
- 48:20Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 48:21Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm not giving him a pass. He
- 48:24Speaker 1: made a mistake, There's no doubt about it. He knows
- 48:26Speaker 1: that different. Leon Lett and I've done a documentary with
- 48:30Speaker 1: leon Let about that that moment, and he basically said,
- 48:33Speaker 1: he blacked out. He blacked out. He didn't even know
- 48:36Speaker 1: what was going on. He just saw the ball and
- 48:38Speaker 1: he said he had to go get it. I'm not
- 48:40Speaker 1: sure he understood all of the rules. Really their young
- 48:43Speaker 1: player at the time. Difference is Coways never lost the
- 48:46Speaker 1: game after that that that game that season, so I
- 48:48Speaker 1: don't think that's going to be the case the same
- 48:50Speaker 1: type of situation. Let's go one more call today to
- 48:55Speaker 1: wrap it up. Who he got man? We got Randy
- 48:58Speaker 1: and san Antonio. Randy, what's up?
- 49:00Speaker 12: Heynck. I know I've being told me I got to
- 49:03Speaker 12: be quick, and we've already kind of touched on it
- 49:06Speaker 12: a lot, but I do want to talk about the
- 49:08Speaker 12: call for the block. I think the biggest thing is
- 49:13Speaker 12: all the analytics and everything that we have to be
- 49:16Speaker 12: still from high school on when you're in that area
- 49:19Speaker 12: of the field, ninety five percent of the time the
- 49:22Speaker 12: coaches put the block on, that's the right call. So
- 49:25Speaker 12: so that's kind of my big thing. Did want to
- 49:27Speaker 12: shout out best wishes to overshow and hope he gets better.
- 49:31Speaker 12: You know, I don't know, you know, don't want to speculate,
- 49:34Speaker 12: but if it's something long term more, you know, the
- 49:39Speaker 12: right recovery. You know, my daughter is going through an
- 49:42Speaker 12: acl thing right now, so I know it's a long
- 49:44Speaker 12: process anyway, So the right recovery, right full recovery for
- 49:50Speaker 12: far as speedy that you know, hopefully it's something milder
- 49:54Speaker 12: than what we're hearing that I know it's that. But
- 49:56Speaker 12: my big thing is the block pump. That's the right call.
- 50:00Speaker 12: Think like you said, Ao just saw the ball, you know.
- 50:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 50:04Speaker 12: And then your quick take on evaluating the special teams
- 50:07Speaker 12: here because it seems like it's been the very best
- 50:09Speaker 12: unit on the field but marred with some costly mistakes. Yeah,
- 50:12Speaker 12: and that's really all I got.
- 50:14Speaker 1: Thanks Randy. Yeah, I gotta be quick too on this.
- 50:17Speaker 1: I think that you know, I don't think it was
- 50:21Speaker 1: a punt block. You know, they weren't going for a
- 50:23Speaker 1: punt block. I think I think there's always a rusher
- 50:26Speaker 1: that rushes up the field right there through that a gap,
- 50:28Speaker 1: and that's what And you got your Special Teams veteran
- 50:31Speaker 1: individils on the team because he's a Special teams player.
- 50:34Speaker 1: He's done that. They you know, he has the freedom
- 50:37Speaker 1: to do if he sees that, really he can go
- 50:39Speaker 1: and he can stay out of the way, don't get
- 50:40Speaker 1: the roughing call. And if the block is there, it's there.
- 50:43Speaker 1: And we all know this. I mean, we're sitting here
- 50:46Speaker 1: talking that that it was a bad if that ball
- 50:48Speaker 1: goes sideways, that ball goes backwards, it's a great play.
- 50:51Speaker 1: Bones is getting, you know, a lot of credit for it.
- 50:54Speaker 1: As for the Special Teams, it has been that kind
- 50:57Speaker 1: of season. Can Cavante Turpin drop the kickoff? It went
- 51:01Speaker 1: back to the one he picked it up and then
- 51:04Speaker 1: turned it into a touchdown. One Ye Thomas gets a
- 51:07Speaker 1: kick return and scores a touchdown. He shouldn't have He
- 51:11Speaker 1: should have gone down. Only this team, as I said
- 51:14Speaker 1: to start the show, only this team can get a
- 51:15Speaker 1: kickoff return for a touchdown and he should have gone down.
- 51:19Speaker 1: And they also get a punt block at the end
- 51:21Speaker 1: of the game and it turns out to be a
- 51:22Speaker 1: losing play. Only this team. Only in twenty twenty four,
- 51:27Speaker 1: great show. We will be back tomorrow to do it.
- 51:29Speaker 1: All over again for Chris Beam. I'm Nicki Vincy tomorrow
