  Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline, presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Here's Nick Eatman. Good morning.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette. It's Friday, October 16th.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I'm Nick Eatman. Cowboys taking on the Packers Sunday night.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And we will leave for Green Bay. We're going to
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: leave for Wisconsin on Saturday. I'm not exactly sure. I
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: don't think we go to Green Bay until Sunday evening.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: That's kind of the way that trip is. You never
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: really want to miss the bus on any trip, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Green Bay is certainly not one of them. It's not
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: one where you're like, oh, I missed the bus. I'll
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: just Uber to the stadium or whatever.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: No, no. This is at least like a 45-minute drive
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: or whatever. That Uber costs you a little bit. Yeah.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And they're not just sitting there waiting for you. I'm sorry.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Which I don't want to get into that. Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I'll just say Ubers aren't as prominent in some spots,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and it can get you in trouble sometimes. All right,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: let's move it to the phone lines, 888-855-2297. I mean,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: we know the topics. We'll talk about them. They're Christian Parker,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Mike Pettin. What's going to happen?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Who's in the booth? Who's not? Does it matter? Let's
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: get to it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Irene in Falls Church, Virginia.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Irene.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Good, good. All right.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: Game day, or last day before game day.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Exciting.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know, man.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: How do you think our corners are going to do?
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Because all of a sudden, the Green Bay Packers last
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: week found that they could just do an air raid offense.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: To be honest, no matter what, I was like, oh,
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: we're going to be fine. And then I saw that game,
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: and I was like, uh-oh. It's going to be really bad.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Do you think there's going to be a lot of adjustments?
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I hope so. I mean, yeah, right?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: We hope there's some adjustments because it's going to get
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: tougher than what Tampa Bay threw out there. You know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, at home, you're against Tampa Bay and the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: guy has the second start ever and doesn't have the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: same weapons that Jordan Love has. So, yeah, I mean,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: they better make some adjustments. But I do think the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: biggest one is going to be Joy Porter Jr.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Being out there. I think that will be the best one.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And then, you know, hopefully there's some more adjustments as
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: far as the pass rush goes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that would be good. I did hear one thing
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: from somebody, and I don't have any evidence to back
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: this up, that Patton's blitzes are more straightforward, less stunting,
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: less games. So I'm hopeful that maybe some of our
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: guys who are really good at the pass rush without
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: actually getting sacked, so the win rate, might actually be
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: able to get there faster, right? It doesn't take as
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: long to develop if you have Joey Porter out there
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: giving you an extra half second or so.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the plan. That's always the goal.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: So I guess prediction, Davey and I wanted to say,
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: he's not calling in, 35-24 Cowboys. I think it's going
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: to be more of a shootout than that. I'm going
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: to be similar range. I'll give us the win because,
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: I don't know, we tend to not do either thing
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: twice in a row.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So 38-35 Cowboys.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Cowboys, and that's all.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Have a good one. 38-35 at Lambeau Field on a
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Sunday night.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, that would be, I don't know about epic,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: but it certainly wouldn't be easy on the heart right there.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: But this team is not for that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of Cowboy fans. That could be a
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: meme somewhere that you're like, you all right? Doctor talking
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: to you in distress. What's going on? Something happened at work?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Cowboys, this team. Oh, yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Every game is going to be
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Even the ones that don't play well against Tampa, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: they still kind of figure out a way to come
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: back and, you know, score a touchdown and then kind
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of mess it up with the two-point and then get the,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you know, pick six and then drop it. I mean,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: it's just kind of the way this season goes. Honestly, though,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it's the way the NFL goes as I'm looking at
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks-Broncos from last night.
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Every game goes to overtime. Does it not?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Does it not feel that way? Like all of these
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: games go to overtime. And, you know, and I'm listening
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to the ref talk about, you know, like when they
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: put the mic on them and they're like, all right, guys,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: we're going to play overtime. You know, the captains come out.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Each team's going to get the ball. Every game goes
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: to overtime.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: We got it. Let's go flip it. Let's go. All right. Anyways,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Rod in El Dorado, Kansas. Rod, what's up? It has
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: been a while.
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: It's been a while, Nick. It's good to talk to
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: you this morning.
• 5:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you too.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: You too. Yeah, you're not a first-time caller, but first
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: time in a while.
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: It's been first time in a while. Thanks for playing that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: We give you here we go.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I don't even think we were doing that when you
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: were calling. So, yeah, you definitely get a.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you. Hey, two quick questions. Since it's been
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: a while since I've called in, and honestly– After last
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: week's loss, I have just turned off everything related to
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: Cowboys until today. So a couple of these questions I'm
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: asking you may have already spoke to earlier this week
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: or even this morning. But first question, is Joey Porter
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: available to play? Second question is, I know that Dak's
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: been putting up good numbers recently, But it seems like
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: when he's throwing, if you watch the ball coming out
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: of his hand, I'm seeing a flutter in it. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: it doesn't seem like it's a tight spiral. I don't
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: know if that's a mechanic that they're looking at. I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: wondering if you have any insight on that. And then
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: I'll just offer my quick prediction. I'm trying not to
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: be a Debbie Downer. I do think that they're going
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: to end up going on a roll here, but not
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: this week. I think I'm not looking for them to
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: come out very well in Green Bay. Our track record
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: hasn't been real great. But I'll hang up and listen
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: to your responses here.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Well, Rod, before you go, are you saying every pass
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: from Dak seems off? Seems like it's not a spiral?
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: No.
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: And his accuracy is– I think his accuracy is still decent.
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: But I was watching, even against Tampa– You know, there
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: are a couple of those passes where doggone it, Ferguson
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: should have caught, you know, he should have caught a
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: pass or two there. But when you start looking at
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: some of the passes, it looks like there's a wobble
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: in it. And I saw that even last season in
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: some of the passes he's throwing, the ball is just
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: not coming out. You know, some of these guys, you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: when they rifle the ball in, I'm thinking of Mahomes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: it's just, you know, it's just a perfect spiral. And
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: with Dak, he's getting the ball there, but it's not–
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: it's not a perfect throw. And I don't know if
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: that's something that, you know, I know he's been banged
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: up a little bit here and there this season, but
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: I was just wondering if that's something that the coaches
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: have looked at or whatever.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't see that the same way. All right, Rod,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: thanks for the call. I mean, I have seen You know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: all quarterbacks have, have a throw, you know, here, there,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: where they're, it's.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Not on, on, it's not accurate. It's not there. It's not,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you know, pinpoint accuracy. or a little bit behind him
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: or whatever.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: And sometimes, sometimes the throw is behind the receiver because
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: it's supposed to be, you know, that he's, he's throwing
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: a guy open or whatever.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: So that, that happens.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: But, um, and I think back to the, to what
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady said, you know, in, in the booth and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: one of the, one of the games, I mean, that
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: he probably shouldn't have said, uh, referring to one of
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the passes from Dak. So that certainly didn't seem like
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: it had wobble to it. Um, I, I, That's just
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: not something that I've looked at, that I've seen. I'll
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: keep an eye on it. I mean, accuracy is always
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: a big thing for the quarterbacks.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Um, you know, and, and, and what do you want?
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Do you want a perfectly thrown spiral pass that was
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: as crisp as you could throw it 10 miles over
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the guy's head or one that kind of had a little,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: had a little wobble to it, but he got there
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: and it was a touchdown. So, you know, not every
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: pass is designed the same way, but it's something to
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: look at for sure. All right, let's go to Casey,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Joe and Casey.
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick. How are you doing today, sir?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: Pretty good. Pretty good for a Friday. Hey, I like
• 9:04
  Speaker 11: the way Porter played in his last game because he
• 9:07
  Speaker 11: played up tight. He didn't have that 10-mile stretch where
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: all they had to do was turn around and catch
• 9:12
  Speaker 11: the ball. And I see Ravel, he does the same
• 9:18
  Speaker 11: thing sometimes. He'll get up on the wide receiver and
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: play them tight. So I think those two would be
• 9:24
  Speaker 11: great and then put Bland in the slot or, you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 11: So I think that would work good on defense. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: then I think our run defense is going to be
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: good because we've got Tyler back, and I think that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: going to change the whole offense because now we can
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: keep the defense over on the sideline and slow it
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: down a little bit and control the clock.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: There's two different ways to think about your offense and
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: also slowing people down and also protecting your defense. We
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: talked about this the other day. Just go score.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: A lot of different ways to do it. I'm with you.
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: I got 28-24 this weekend and Dallas should pull it out.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: 28-24.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Have a good weekend. Are you Kansas City, Kansas or
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Kansas City, Missouri?
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: Missouri.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, back-to-back calls from Kansas would
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: have been a thing still. Same area for the most part.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: All right, Casey, Joe. Appreciate the call. Get that written
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: down here.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I always like to put the score down because somebody's
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: going to get it right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: It's happened, actually, last year. It happens. And what do
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: you win?
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Still, it's good to know. All right. Speaking of Good
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to know. Gamesmanship, right? The Eagles are signing Joe.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Milton to their roster off the practice squad. He's on
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys practice squad, or he was. So now he
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: is going to be on Philly's roster. Honestly, I don't
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: know the rules to this. I thought that there was
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: a rule against this. I guess there isn't.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: You can't do it the week of. That's crazy.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: So the Cowboys play the Eagles next week and, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: they're gonna, that's fine though. They're going to see what
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Joe Milton can help, help them there. Not only on
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: their team, but I'm sure to try to, and if there's,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: you know, and maybe, maybe he would provide some stuff to,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: to kind of help them for whatever he knows. Cause
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you know, it's one thing to do over to alignment,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks kind of know what's going on, especially ones that
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: have been here a little bit, the checks and, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: all the calls and things like that. So, That's part
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: If it's in the rules, it's in the rules.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: So the Eagles are going to bring him in, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: he's on their roster. He'll be there three weeks at
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: least because that's part of the rules of taking a
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: guy off the practice squad. So Joe Milton is no
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: longer on the Cowboys practice squad. I'd imagine the Cowboys
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: will be signing a quarterback here soon because you're going
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: to have to have.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Three quarterbacks for sure. All right, Chris in Saratoga Springs,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: New York.
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: Look at you breaking some breaking news.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't break the news. I didn't break the news.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: There's only two guys in the world, or three, that
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: break news. Okay, three people in the whole world of
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the NFL break news. And one of them did it,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: and then everybody else just kind of trickles through.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: Now, correct me if I'm wrong with that. When they
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: sign him off the practice squad, doesn't the team that
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: has the player have the option to– immediately add them
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: to the active roster if they wanted to keep them
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: or no, it might.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: They, they, they definitely can, but you don't have to sign.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're, you don't have to, I mean, you
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: have to sign the contract, so you don't have to,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: you can't.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Be like, Oh, I was going to go to Philly.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: And now the Cowboys, no, he has the choice, um,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: at this point.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Um, so, but I don't think the Cowboys are, are
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: doing that. Jalen Hurst is out this week. I don't
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: even know their backup, uh, McKee, I think.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Where's Andy Dalton these days?
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: He got released by the Eagles.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I have a hard time just keeping up with this team,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: this one right here. So the other players and backups
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: and all.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: That, I don't really know.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: But I know Joe Milton's there now. And do I
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: think it's because the Cowboys are playing them next week?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Probably. I think that's part of it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I also think that he's a guy that we thought
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: would be on this team this year.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, we thought he would be. He played pretty
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: well in the preseason.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: But there's people in the building that would be scared
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: to death to play him in a regular season game.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Preseason game, go out there, you're not doing a whole lot,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: run around, have fun. backyard football, fine. But to actually
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: prepare from week to week and actually do the things
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and process everything, they didn't think he was ready for that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Right. We'll see.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, good luck to him, though. I like him,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and he's a good guy. Talent-wise, I mean, just from
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: arm talent, he's ridiculous. So he was fun to watch
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: there for sure.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: As far as the game, I really think we're going
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: to go in there in Lambeau and we're going to
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: win a game. We've got to change the narrative. Again,
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: we normally lose these games in past years. We need
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: to go in there and change it and win this
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: game in Green Bay. I really think we're going to
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: do it. I would love to see Joey Porter on
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: Watson and shut him right down. He's had a really,
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: really good season so far, and I think it would
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: be great to have Joey Porter shut that guy down.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: That would be fantastic. One question to you. As you
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: talked yesterday about getting a little bit of juice out
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: of the tight end, any word about Michael Trigg possibly
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: getting ready to get maybe on the active roster at
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: some point to get some passing juice in that tight
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: end position?
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Don't know if he's necessarily ready for it, but they
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: do need something like that. And his issues, he's still
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: learning how to be an NFL player, but... You know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: when I talked about this yesterday, about the tight end
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: that kind of needs to be at 10, 15, 20
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: yards because of the way that they're playing these receivers, it's.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: The middle of the field.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: And, man, nobody would get there better in the tight
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: end room than him, than Trigg. But all the other
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: little things, and I remember talking to Lunda Wells about him.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: He had a great practice one day at Oxnard. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I was talking with Coach Wells, and we were just
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: sort of talking about him, and he was just like,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: that dude's got a long ways to go. And I
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, I thought he was going to say
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: something different because he had such a great practice, made
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: some really good plays. And so he does those things, but–
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and this was training camp, you know, but he hasn't
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: practiced a lot. But still, as a rookie, undrafted rookie,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: you know, it's the other things about playing the position,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: you know, and recognizing things and awareness and all that. So–
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: If he's there for that and ready to go, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: think he could be somebody that could help, sure.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: I'll let somebody else in. You guys have a good
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: trip down to Lambeau Field, and let's go Cowboys.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: All right, Chris. Appreciate it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I hope you're right about changing the narrative and hope
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: that this team goes up there and takes care of business.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: You know what's crazy about thinking of Cowboys and Packers?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, one of the most historic games ever was
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: before I was born, and And, you know, the ice
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: bowl and all this history and, you know, the frozen
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: tundra of Lambeau Field and all that. And to think
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: it's like, yep, the Cowboys have won two times there.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And I've seen them both. You know, like I've seen
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: them all. And that's not one that I would like
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to say, oh, I've seen all of that. You know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I know they went and they used to play games
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, which that is crazy to me to think
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: in the NFL, an NFL game. you know, I've been
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: on the sidelines. We're on the sidelines before every game
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: to think that an NFL game has both teams on
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the same sideline. That is so weird to me. Uh,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: but they used to play, um, Green Bay would play
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: some games in Milwaukee and because of their baseball stadium
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: alignment and all that, um, and shout out to Milwaukee
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: for going to the, to the world series. Ooh, Chris,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: when does the world series start? We're going to, we're
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: going up there. Um, I don't think it starts this week.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: It's not Saturday. Well, they were supposed to play. The Dodgers. Yeah,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: if necessary. Yeah, if necessary. I don't even know. On
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the same night as the Packer game. That would have been, oh, yeah,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that would have been crazy. They probably would have showed that, like,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: in the stadium. Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Or maybe not in the stadium, but they would have
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: definitely shown it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: If there was a hit, you would know. Like, in
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the middle of a break, people would be screaming. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: that's cool. Well, good for them.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe their baseball team can have some. Success
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: more than football this weekend.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's go to J.R. in Avondale, Arizona.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Morning, Nick. How are you doing? Good.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Hanging in there, man. Hanging in there.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: That's all we can do.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. So I heard that with blood clots
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: in his leg. How long is, you know, how long
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: is he out with that? Because what's the chances of
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: him not being available for the Cowboys game? And if
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: If McKee struggles, well, there's a chance that Joe Milton
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: is playing against the Cowboys. So I think that's an
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: advantage for the Cowboys, since the Cowboys know what he
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: does good and what he doesn't do good.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: And vice versa. I mean, he knows things as well.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it kind of goes both ways. He's
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: going to help them more if he's not playing. And
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I say that because... if he's going to help as
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: far as the calls or, Hey, watch for this. And
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: when they do this call, they always do this, you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: because remember he's scout team quarterback going up against Cowboys defense.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: So he kind of knows some tales and things like that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: If he's, if he has to play and then that
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: ain't happening, he's not, he's going to have, he's going
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to have enough issues to deal with for him.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: So, but yeah, I don't, I don't know. I mean, that's,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: what's one of those. If it happens, it happens. If
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: he plays, he plays, you know, it sounds like Rocky four.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: If he plays, he plays.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: That's a good one. But so, so I watched, of course,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: I took me a few more days to get off
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: the ledge after that last loss and normal, but I
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: watched the game, but I watched that game and the
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: detection game kind of back and forth and, This looks
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: like a different team. I'm not making any excuses for
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys, but I think the schedule has a big
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: part of that. They look tired, lethargic, guys not in position,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: missing tackles. So I think you're going to see a
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: different team. We're going to see a different team. I agree.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: This weekend, of course, the Dallas Cowboys tend to play
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: to their competition, and I think all the talk about
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: their being such a big favorite and it's a new quarterback,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I think that's a bad thing for them to hear.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I think they'll be ready. this weekend, and I think
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: you're going to see a different team, especially if Jory Porter.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: And I asked you another question. Of the injuries, have
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: you got any word on anyone that is... Is Demo
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: going to be back? Is Durant going to be back?
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Any of those folks? Any word on them?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I'll address those injuries. But, yeah, thanks for the call, JR.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. I definitely agree with you, and I
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: think Chris... saratoga says the same thing um this is
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: what it feels like it just feels like it's going
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: to be um i think they're gonna play well i
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: do um this the scary part is if they they
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: do that they go out and play well and and
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: they don't and they don't win you know and they
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: don't it's not good enough but they do play well
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: and and and they they you know have a good
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: start to this and uh defense plays well but it's
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: still not good enough to win then That's going to
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: be discouraging because I don't know if Green Bay is
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: at that level where you're like, oh, they were so awesome.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: The Cowboys, they gave a shot, but they just couldn't win.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think Green Bay is at that point.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I really don't.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: I think the Bears are kind of an up-and-down mess
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: right now with their quarterback situation too and trying to
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: figure stuff out. It was just one of those. I
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: don't think the Bears are that bad. And I just
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: think they went up there and it was just a stinker.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: And maybe that happens. And maybe the Cowboys game will
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: be that way with Tampa.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: But I do think the Cowboys are going to play well.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: You look at what they did last year at Green Bay.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Some of those defensive players aren't even there. They put
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: up 40, didn't have CD. I think that it's going
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: to be... a challenge for the Packers' defense. I really do.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, their defense, and they take chances. They try
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: to get interceptions, you know, and they get some. But
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: that defense, but that can be scary, you know, when
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: you're going for that kind of stuff and being aggressive
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: to go get the picks, you're also going to give
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: up some big plays as well. Because then again, you've
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: got the Cowboys who don't get picks, and they also
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: give up big plays. So it's like, where's the tradeoff there? Anyway,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: so let's go to break here on Cowboys Storyline. We'll
• 23:00

• 25:27
  Speaker 3: All right welcome back to cowboy storyline presented by gillette
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: let's get back to the phone lines here let's go
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: to sergeant sue in fort worth sergeant sue what's up.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: At ease everybody how you doing nick how are you
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: doing Pretty good, brother. Hey, I got a quick question,
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: your opinion, and I also want to get the YouTube
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: chat to chime in, and I'll read it whenever I
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: get off here because they're very active right now. So, Nick,
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: Cowboys win if, Cowboys lose if. I'll go ahead and
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: answer that if that's cool. I think the Cowboys win
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: if Patton and CP can somehow– figure out together with
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: both of their brains pushed together, figure out how to
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: pressure Jordan Love consistently. I do know that he may
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: be decent against the pressure, but I just feel like
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: rattling a quarterback regardless is going to work in your favor,
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: and I think that Dak Prescott last week was a
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: good example of that. I think the Cowboys lose if
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: Green Bay controls the time of possession and keeps Dallas'
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: offense on the sideline.
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: You know me, Nick.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: The YouTube chat knows me. I'm a little delusional.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: It don't matter.
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: I'm always going to pick the Cowboys to win, at
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: least on air. Cowboys win 31-27, brother.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: 31-27.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I like it. I'll play along. How do the Cowboys
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: win and lose? I mean, I think I think turnovers
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: are going to be the biggest part of this game
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: because I think for the Cowboys offense, if they don't
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: turn the ball over, I don't think they're really going
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: to get stopped that much.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I think that stops them.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: And it's possible to play games without getting turnovers because
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: the opposing team does it every single week. So be
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: smart with the football and don't bat the ball up
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: in the air As long as they continue to score,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: get points, touchdowns preferably, they're pretty good in the red
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: zone this year. I mean, we haven't seen a lot
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: of stalled drives, not many. So they're doing well there.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I just think as long as they don't hurt themselves,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: that would be the best. And then getting one would
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: be like an early Christmas present, really, just getting a turnover,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: especially an interception. So I think turnovers. I think if
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys will win this game, I think that they
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: win the turnover battle, and I think that they'll win.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: And they could actually win by double digits, actually, in
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: that type of situation. So that's what I think happens.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: They lose if they just can't figure out how to
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: cover anyone still. If that hasn't been fixed and there's
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: just guys running all through the secondary and things like that,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: and they have too much time, then.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: they'll probably not win the.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Game because, I mean, you can tell that Green Bay's
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: got some weapons there on the outside, and Christian Watson's
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: always been a guy that's hurt the Cowboys. And so, yeah,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: if they can't get that figured out, then they have
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: no shot there. All right, Josh in Chicago is next.
• 28:27
  Speaker 15: Hey, man, I totally agree with you. I said it
• 28:29
  Speaker 15: yesterday about the turnovers, but I absolutely agree. Listening to
• 28:32
  Speaker 15: Quinnian Williams yesterday or two days ago, I can't remember
• 28:35
  Speaker 15: which day he spoke to the media, but I gotta say,
• 28:38
  Speaker 15: I think this is going to be his game. I
• 28:39
  Speaker 15: think he's mad. I think he's prepared. I think he's
• 28:41
  Speaker 15: ready to get out there and get after it. So
• 28:43
  Speaker 15: I'm thinking it's going to be a big game from Q.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 28:46
  Speaker 15: I think we're going to get an interception this week.
• 28:48
  Speaker 15: I think probably speed, just the way Amir speeds up
• 28:50
  Speaker 15: playing his coverage skills. I think he's probably gonna be
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: the cause of that. I'm going Cowboys 31 Packers 27.
• 28:56
  Speaker 15: Cause I hate that team from green Bay.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: All right. Sounds good.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Um, yep.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: 31, 27.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I think that's a couple of those calls. Um, Yeah,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I can't live in Chicago. And whether you're a Bears
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: fan or not, you're not going to like the Packers.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: You know, that's one thing, you know, you can kind
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: of agree on there. I think that, you know, I
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: don't know. At this point, I'm just like, I'm we've
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: talked about it, you know, for 10 days now. And
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just I just want to see something kind of different.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I hope that they've used that time to just throw
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: something out that's not what the Packers have seen. That's
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing is that you have so many coaches,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: so many quality controls, so many analytic coaches now or
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: analytic people.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They're not coaches.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: They study all of these things. If you get caught
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: into trends and things like that, You can just get
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: rolled over. So that's what these little mini breaks are
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: supposed to be, is not only evaluate what you're about
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: to face, but evaluate yourself. So hopefully Cowboys will come
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: out and show some of that. All right, let's go
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: to Sebastian in Savannah, Georgia.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mr. Eamon.
• 30:20
  Speaker 16: How are you doing?
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 30:22
  Speaker 16: I'm doing all right, buddy. I'm happy that I can
• 30:26
  Speaker 16: get in again today. I saved some of the topic
• 30:28
  Speaker 16: that I wanted to talk about today for yesterday just
• 30:30
  Speaker 16: to make sure I could get in this week and
• 30:31
  Speaker 16: get my score out there. But I had something on
• 30:36
  Speaker 16: my mind about the coaches that we have and the
• 30:38
  Speaker 16: culture that we have going on right now and how
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: things are shifting to youth. If Schottenheimer was Bill Belichick
• 30:45
  Speaker 16: and he bought on a new defensive coordinator, this would
• 30:47
  Speaker 16: be a completely different thing because he'd be running the defense.
• 30:50
  Speaker 16: When you have an offensive-minded head coach... and you have
• 30:53
  Speaker 16: a new defensive talent coming in, you're going to see
• 30:55
  Speaker 16: all of these woes. But more important than the game
• 30:58
  Speaker 16: of football is the man and the men who are
• 31:01
  Speaker 16: behind this team and who have been on this team
• 31:03
  Speaker 16: for years. Jason Garrett will always have a fondness in
• 31:06
  Speaker 16: my heart for how he handled the Josh Brent situation
• 31:08
  Speaker 16: and that one time that he gave Henry Shroka a
• 31:10
  Speaker 16: game ball. How you act in crisis shows me a
• 31:13
  Speaker 16: lot about your character and who you are as a person.
• 31:15
  Speaker 16: And under the Marshawn Nealon situation, I'll always have a
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: fondness for him uh, Brian Schottenheimer, but this game is
• 31:21
  Speaker 16: about winning and losing. When your coach is about winning
• 31:24
  Speaker 16: and losing. And I remember a comment that came up
• 31:26
  Speaker 16: the other day and I waited a couple of days
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: to speak on it because it's funny, but charge it
• 31:31
  Speaker 16: to Rob's head, not his heart. He's a very passionate,
• 31:33
  Speaker 16: very frustrated fan with this organization, right? It doesn't matter
• 31:37
  Speaker 16: what someone wears because you'll get annoyed by anything. We all,
• 31:42
  Speaker 16: what it came down to is we all bought the
• 31:43
  Speaker 16: snake oil in the off season. All Oxnard struck again
• 31:46
  Speaker 16: and we all bought it. We, we, It doesn't matter
• 31:49
  Speaker 16: what anyone does or what they look like or what
• 31:50
  Speaker 16: they wear, right? You're going to get frustrated by anything
• 31:53
  Speaker 16: when someone loses or when they're part of the ball sucks.
• 31:55
  Speaker 16: When Schottenheimer and Jake Ferguson, the ball goes off his hands.
• 31:59
  Speaker 16: Ferguson's a great guy. But as a player, you're like,
• 32:01
  Speaker 16: I need more from you. As a coach, I need
• 32:03
  Speaker 16: more from you. That's where the passion and the curiosity
• 32:06
  Speaker 16: comes from for all of the fans. I'm 39 years old.
• 32:10
  Speaker 16: I'll be 40 on Sunday. I've only ever seen this
• 32:12
  Speaker 16: team since 2007. I've never known anything other than them
• 32:16
  Speaker 16: being around this area right here. I don't think it's
• 32:19
  Speaker 16: so much as Jerry won't hire good coaches. I just
• 32:22
  Speaker 16: think it's never all come together at the same time.
• 32:25
  Speaker 16: We had great offenses, no defense. We had good defense,
• 32:27
  Speaker 16: offenses lacking. We were in a transitional period between Dak
• 32:30
  Speaker 16: and Tony Romo. Once things finally come together all at once,
• 32:35
  Speaker 16: we'll see a different team. Being from Detroit, I've seen
• 32:38
  Speaker 16: the Lions for like 30– 30 years, and it never, ever,
• 32:42
  Speaker 16: ever got good until Dan Campbell got there. I hope
• 32:45
  Speaker 16: we can turn it around. I hope this season can
• 32:46
  Speaker 16: start going well. But as long as we stay right
• 32:48
  Speaker 16: here in the mix, I don't want to be one
• 32:50
  Speaker 16: of those teams that's just like waiting for other teams
• 32:52
  Speaker 16: to play bad. I want to be a good team
• 32:54
  Speaker 16: that can.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: Compete with everybody.
• 32:56
  Speaker 16: But with that said, you guys have a great day,
• 32:58
  Speaker 16: Cowboys Nation. Enjoy your games on Sunday.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Come hang with Melissa.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: All right, Sebastian. Well, happy birthday on Sunday. Maybe the
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Cowboys will put up a 40-burger there like they did
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: last year, even though you don't want to give up 40,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: but certainly want to see if they can put it together.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: And I get their frustration. I understand. You know, I mean,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I've been.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: There, and I know exactly what the fan base is feeling.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, we feel it here, too.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, we feel it as far as, you know,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, there's– The tough part about it is that, like,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: as a fan, you can kind of turn it on,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: turn it off.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I don't worry about it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: One of the callers that said this week, I tuned
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: out everything this week, you know. I didn't even mess
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: with my Dallas Cowboys until maybe Thursday or Friday. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: that's what being a fan is. That's the privilege that
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: you have. You know, you can decide how much you
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: want to be invested. You know, and we don't have
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: that here, you know. Monday, we're doing a show. Tuesday,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: we're doing a show. Wednesday, you know, and that's what
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: we do. That's what we get to do also. I mean,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying we have to. It's what we get
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: to do, and it's awesome. But that's why I am
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: always the one of, like, I don't big picture this
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: thing as much as other people do because we're going
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: to turn around and play next week. We've got to
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: get another game, Philly. And then after that, it's, you know,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Arizona and then Indy or whatever, you know, how the
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: schedule plays out.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: And that's what it is.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: And so when a guy gives up a play or
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: the defense does this or Deron Bland gives up this,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I don't look at it and go, well, he's terrible.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Get rid of him.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: Cut.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Can't do that. Got to turn this thing around. So
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I have to stay in the moment because we are
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: in the moment.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: And so I don't I don't I don't try to
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: get as big picture because I understand, too, is that
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: you get ahead of this thing. And then and then
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: next thing you know, you know, how stupid do you look?
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, really, because you can't you can't really get
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: it get ahead of anything around here. All right.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Let's go to break here on Cowboy Storyline. We'll go
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: to break. We'll come back after this.

  Speaker 4: All right.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Lewis and Langston, or via Oklahoma City, used to always
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: be from Langston, so.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Let's go for it. Lewis, what's up?
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Not much, man.
• 36:47
  Speaker 17: Chris said the same thing. He said it rolls off
• 36:50
  Speaker 17: the tongue a lot easier.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: I messed it up.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: You know, Josh is not from Chicago. I mean, he's
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: not in Chicago. He's from Chicago.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: So, you know what? You're still from Langston. How about that?
• 37:04
  Speaker 17: That'll work. I don't have no qualms with that.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: How you doing, man?
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Not bad, man.
• 37:11
  Speaker 17: I've been riding the roller coaster, been trying to get in,
• 37:14
  Speaker 17: but I've been riding the roller coaster since Washington. So
• 37:17
  Speaker 17: I'm just all over the place. Well, what I was
• 37:19
  Speaker 17: calling about was I'm OK. I'm not I'm not real
• 37:25
  Speaker 17: big on. I mean, I'm not sure about this thing.
• 37:28
  Speaker 17: I'm not. It is what it is. They're making moves
• 37:31
  Speaker 17: to try to help. I'm OK with that part. What
• 37:33
  Speaker 17: I'm trying to understand is, is the Mario Overtone going
• 37:36
  Speaker 17: to play and is he going to play the wheel
• 37:37
  Speaker 17: or is he going to play the mic? Because I
• 37:39
  Speaker 17: feel like watching the games, what's the other linebacker named?
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: Winters.
• 37:44
  Speaker 17: As I'm watching him, I really feel like he's a
• 37:46
  Speaker 17: tick slow on pretty much every play. And that's no
• 37:51
  Speaker 17: indictment on him. I understand everybody's trying to figure it out. But, like,
• 37:54
  Speaker 17: he just doesn't seem like he's seeing what everybody else
• 37:57
  Speaker 17: is seeing. Everybody's going right. He's going left. And so
• 38:01
  Speaker 17: it just kind of throws me off.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: I would love to.
• 38:03
  Speaker 17: See– demo and borrow them together. I'm waiting to see
• 38:09
  Speaker 17: how that works. Other than that, I got other questions,
• 38:13
  Speaker 17: but I never stay long, so I'll get in when
• 38:15
  Speaker 17: I fit in.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Thanks, Louis. I didn't even mention that earlier.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I was going to answer that off the air when
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: somebody asked about injuries. I think Overshawn has a good
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: chance to play. He's been practicing this week, returned to practice,
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: and is starting to kind of ramp that up. Where
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: he plays, they're not going to tell us that. That
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: should be one of those things. If there is going
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: to be a wrinkle, that's something that they can do
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: to show something different for what Green Bay is going
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: to look at. I think Kobe Durant is... I mean,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens in practice, but he hasn't really
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: done much.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: If anything, he's still rehabbing.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think Kobe Durant is going to play, but
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: I do think Overshawn is going to play. It could
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: be more limited, but, um, you know, I, I'm with you.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I want to see him and Barham together. I, I,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: that's a, that's a lot of length. That's a lot
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: of strength. That's, you know, that's, um, you know, you
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: got some guys flying around the ball. So yeah, I'd
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: like to see both those guys out there.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to IMA in Napa.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: Hey, what's up, Nick?
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: How are you doing? I'm good.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: I'm great, man.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Thanks for asking.
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: First, before I get started in the Cowboys, I just
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: want to give you and Chris some flowers and just say, man,
• 39:35
  Speaker 10: thank you guys again for having the show, putting up
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: with all of us storyliners. I know it was an
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: emotional week.
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: I didn't get to call.
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: I had a lot of things going on, but I listened,
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: and I listened to the playbacks, and Man, I hope
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: you're recovered okay and you're all good now. But, yeah,
• 39:57
  Speaker 10: it was a pretty emotional week. So, again, thank you.
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: Thank you for putting up with us and dealing with
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: our ups and downs and how crazy we can be
• 40:06
  Speaker 10: when we're good and then how crazy we can be
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: when we're bad.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate you saying that.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: But, you know, like I said, we deal with it too. And,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a lot easier. It's fun to talk
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: to you guys after a win.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Um, but I respect the ones that call it, you know, when,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: and it's not going well and they still call and,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: you know, and they have, they express their frustration, but,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: you know, still do it in a way where, you know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: we can carry on and do the show and all
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: that stuff.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: So I get it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: I get both sides of it. And that's what being
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: a fan is all about. You know, it's, it's, it, you,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: you respect both sides of it. And, um, and I'm
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: the same way, you know, my, my mood around the
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: house is different when my, when my team wins.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Um, in, in whatever sport that is.
• 40:53
  Speaker 10: Um, all right.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Appreciate the call. I may, and all the calls, Chris,
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I know we have a press conference coming up soon.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: We're going to call it, um, call it now. We
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: don't have any other calls.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I can try to find one for you. I hear
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: one ringing.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Let's do that one real quick. Just put them on
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: whoever it is. We'll put them on live.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, maybe not. It's Chris is talking on the phone there.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: All right. Um, My prediction.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: I got your one.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys are going to win. I'll just
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: say that. I think it'll be high scoring. Like last year,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I think that they figured out a way to win.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I just think they're going to play better, and I
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: think it's going to lead to a win. I think
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: we're going to get it.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: How about two turnovers? Not just one. How about two?
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: All right, Chris, let's go to another caller. Nico in Colorado.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Nico, what's up?
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: Hey, what's up, Cowboy Nation? How you doing, Nick?
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I'm good. How are you?
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: Cool. You know, I'm all right. You know, had to recover.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't call in last week because what's that old saying?
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: If you don't have something nice to say, then don't
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: bother saying it at all because you would have probably
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: kicked me off air and off the show if I
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: had to say what I had to say.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Anyways.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: Can I start with this real fast? I'll be quick. Hey,
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: prayers up. Prayers up to Jalen Hurts. Whether you're an
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: enemy or not, you never want something like that. Please
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: get well soon, bud, and continue to throw interceptions after
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: you get well. So there's a little shot and a
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: prayer for you. Also, I want to say to Ms.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: Price's family, I'm sorry for your loss, and also to Mark.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: We love you guys.
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: We miss you guys.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to say that for the fans. As
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: far as this game, did I hear that correct, Nick?
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: We have not won in Lambeau since Troy Aikman was
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: our quarterback. Is that correct?
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: No, that isn't correct. He actually never won there.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: That's what I thought. I was like, I think Brian
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: Broadus is off on his stat because Brian Broadus is
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: the one that said that. And I was like, that's
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: not right. Um, so with that being said, uh, thank
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: you for answering that. With that being said, I'm like
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Sergeant Sue. You guys know this. I'm a delusional fan,
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: but I will call it like I see it. Um, yeah,
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: we suck. I'm just going to say it. We suck,
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: but we are going to beat the damn Packers. That's
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: all I got. How about them Cowboys?
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess to end it on that, um, If
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: they beat the Packers, they won't suck. You're not going
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: to suck and beat the Packers in Lambeau Field. I mean,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: it's not happening. Cowboys have won twice there.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he was.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: He might have been talking about playing in Milwaukee. And
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Troy Aikman was the quarterback in Milwaukee when they won.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Cowboys have only won two games in Lambeau.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Dax rookie. I'm sorry.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Romo in 2008. And then Dak's rookie year in 2016.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: So that hasn't happened. Two and ten all time in
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Lambeau Field. So let's make it three. I think it's
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: going to be a weekend of threes. I think the Cowboys,
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: I said this on the air, I think the Cowboys
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: win by three. I think George Pickens has a big game.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys get to three and three with
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: the win. And then, of course, that will put the
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Packers down. at 3-3 as well. So I think it's
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: going to be a weekend of threes.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: All right, got to roll.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: We'll see you on Monday. We'll talk about it. We'll
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: be tired, but we'll be talking about it. Hopefully we'll
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: be talking about a win. For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: See you Monday on Cowboy Storyline.
