- 0:04Speaker 1: The following He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot
- 0:06Speaker 1: Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is
- 0:14Speaker 1: these Cowboys storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:22Speaker 2: What is up? It is victory Monday Cowboys storyline is
- 0:25Speaker 2: beginning now. I'm Nick Eatman here on Monday, December the eleventh.
- 0:31Speaker 2: And what a win it was for the Cowboys thirty
- 0:34Speaker 2: three thirteen over the Eagles. I would say, who saw
- 0:40Speaker 2: that coming? But you know what, looking back at some
- 0:42Speaker 2: of the scores from last week, you guys were throwing
- 0:45Speaker 2: you know, some of the callers would throw in some
- 0:47Speaker 2: scores and they'd say, hey, this is what I think.
- 0:49Speaker 2: I think they're gonna win by twenty one or thirty
- 0:52Speaker 2: points or seventeen. And there it is Cowboys thirty three thirteen.
- 0:57Speaker 2: And you know what kind of message does that send?
- 1:01Speaker 2: This is the article that I wrote after the game.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Is I think that whatever message was sent to the league,
- 1:06Speaker 2: I think that it also was sent to their own
- 1:08Speaker 2: locker room. I think the Cowboys kind of got, you know,
- 1:12Speaker 2: a situation where they needed to prove to themselves. I
- 1:15Speaker 2: think that they could go and win games like this.
- 1:17Speaker 2: They hear all the noise, Yeah, it sounds good. It
- 1:20Speaker 2: feels different, all this stuff, but it's got to look different,
- 1:22Speaker 2: it's got to be different. And and it was. It
- 1:25Speaker 2: definitely was Sunday night. Cowboys were just better than the
- 1:28Speaker 2: Eagles and all three phases at the game really, you know,
- 1:32Speaker 2: aside from a fake punt whatever that that that the
- 1:35Speaker 2: Eagles got and that that was a big play for them.
- 1:37Speaker 2: But but Brendan Aubrey I think won the special teams
- 1:41Speaker 2: battle for sure. He outscored the Eagles by himself. Offense
- 1:45Speaker 2: was really good, especially early in the game. Kind of
- 1:48Speaker 2: you know, tailed off a little bit in the second half,
- 1:51Speaker 2: but the defense was good all day long, all night,
- 1:54Speaker 2: knocking the ball loose. Just the physical force that they
- 1:59Speaker 2: had in the game. It was impressive, it really was.
- 2:02Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, I didn't have a great feeling
- 2:04Speaker 2: about the game before right before kickoff, I just I
- 2:07Speaker 2: wasn't feeling great about it. I kind of thought the
- 2:09Speaker 2: Eagles might respond a little bit better. But the Cowboys
- 2:12Speaker 2: are just rolling right now. They really are. And and
- 2:15Speaker 2: credit them credit to Mike McCarthy too. I mean, I
- 2:18Speaker 2: think I think McCarthy just show him the toughness I
- 2:22Speaker 2: have surgery that you know, on what earlier in the week,
- 2:24Speaker 2: come back coach the game. Not only coached the game,
- 2:27Speaker 2: he was he was doing his normal self. He was
- 2:29Speaker 2: running on the sidelines. So I wont challenge flags. I mean,
- 2:32Speaker 2: he really, he really did a great job of getting
- 2:36Speaker 2: them ready to play, and even when he wasn't there
- 2:39Speaker 2: all week long, they were ready to play without a doubt.
- 2:42Speaker 2: And it showed. And what a win it was for
- 2:44Speaker 2: the cowboy. All Right, we want to talk about it.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Eight eight eight eight five five to two ninety seven.
- 2:48Speaker 2: That is the line to call. You can text at
- 2:50Speaker 2: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Let's get to the calls as quick as we can here.
- 2:56Speaker 2: So let's go with Joe in Stamford, Texas.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Joe, what's up, man, Hey, how's it going. Nick's going
- 3:03Speaker 3: to talk to you again.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I was a little worried about you. Man.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Well, you know, honestly, dude, it gets really competitive. Like
- 3:10Speaker 3: I told you before, I actually have to wake up
- 3:13Speaker 3: like in the middle of my night because I worked
- 3:15Speaker 3: in the evenings to get on your show.
- 3:18Speaker 2: We appreciate it.
- 3:19Speaker 3: A couple of times where I just like I couldn't
- 3:21Speaker 3: get in and couldn't get in. I was like, well, damn, man,
- 3:23Speaker 3: do I get up or none? But I always listened, man,
- 3:27Speaker 3: and I'm enjoying your show. I listened to your regulars.
- 3:30Speaker 3: I'm particularly enjoying your guy from Vegas, Rob, I think
- 3:33Speaker 3: it's his name. And there's a guy from Florida who
- 3:37Speaker 3: calls in all the time, young lady from Virginia. Yeah,
- 3:40Speaker 3: and then you got a Cowboys historian from Albuquerque. The
- 3:43Speaker 3: one thing that has stood out to me, Nick, and
- 3:45Speaker 3: this time of just listening and not holling, is I
- 3:48Speaker 3: used to think that I was this Cowboys know it
- 3:52Speaker 3: all historian.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Dude.
- 3:55Speaker 3: There are so many people that know so much more
- 3:58Speaker 3: about the Cowboys than I do. It blows my min
- 4:00Speaker 3: And that's why I love this show so much.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I really do.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I appreciate it and I love it as well. And
- 4:05Speaker 2: some of the questions that I get trivia questions, I
- 4:08Speaker 2: mean they're really impressive, you know, and and they're and
- 4:11Speaker 2: they're tough, and I mean I could say there's there's
- 4:15Speaker 2: probably ten to fifteen people that call the show, and
- 4:18Speaker 2: I think you're one of them that could really just
- 4:20Speaker 2: go back and talk about old old players, old games
- 4:24Speaker 2: and just bring it back like that and it's awesome.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Is it really a lot of fun?
- 4:28Speaker 3: Yeah? I enjoy that cat of it.
- 4:29Speaker 5: Man.
- 4:30Speaker 3: So from yesterday, you know I downed on Tony Pollard
- 4:34Speaker 3: Eardier in the season, I got to say, he is
- 4:37Speaker 3: looking better and better each game. Also, I don't know
- 4:41Speaker 3: where we would be without picking up Gilmore. What a
- 4:44Speaker 3: huge pickup that is going to turn out.
- 4:46Speaker 4: To be for us this season. Man.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we got the best kicker in the league.
- 4:50Speaker 3: I don't know how you feel about it, but at
- 4:52Speaker 3: this point, I don't know. I mean, used to i'd
- 4:55Speaker 3: say the guy from Baltimore, But right now, I don't
- 4:57Speaker 3: know who's better than Brandon Aubrey. I really don't.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I who else is I mean, have
- 5:01Speaker 2: there been other kickers that haven't missed? I mean I
- 5:04Speaker 2: don't know that. I feel like there might be one
- 5:06Speaker 2: or two. But I mean, not only has he made
- 5:09Speaker 2: every kick, I mean he's hit I mean the fifties,
- 5:12Speaker 2: the sixties, I mean it was. It's unbelievable, it really is.
- 5:16Speaker 2: This is an amazing sir that thinks Yard.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Was good from seventies. I don't think I was exaggerating, No.
- 5:23Speaker 2: I mean he nailed it right into the net, and
- 5:25Speaker 2: the net's about eight to ten yards back.
- 5:29Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I think we're we regardless of what
- 5:34Speaker 3: happens the next few games, because it's going to be
- 5:36Speaker 3: tough for us to win out. It's going to be tough.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Regardless of that, we are good enough to go the distance. Now,
- 5:43Speaker 3: will we, well, won't we? I don't know, but I
- 5:46Speaker 3: feel like we're going to get in the playoffs and
- 5:48Speaker 3: we got a chance against everybody. I am confident in
- 5:52Speaker 3: that and I'm super excited about the rest of the season.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Awesome, Thanks for the call, Joe. I think I think
- 5:56Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that share those same feelings
- 6:00Speaker 2: about this team and just where you know how good
- 6:02Speaker 2: they can be. Let's go to a text question here.
- 6:06Speaker 2: This one is Bobby. He's from Dallas. He says, it's
- 6:09Speaker 2: clear to me the Cowboys have to sweep the remaining
- 6:11Speaker 2: games to have a shot at the top seed in
- 6:14Speaker 2: the NFC, but we also need to sweep those games
- 6:16Speaker 2: to win the NFC East. That's where it gets a
- 6:21Speaker 2: little tricky. They we'll see what the Eagles do. I mean, obviously,
- 6:26Speaker 2: the if the Eagles went out and the Cowboys went out,
- 6:31Speaker 2: I think from what I've read the Eagles would win
- 6:34Speaker 2: the division. That's what I and I'm I'm not sure
- 6:38Speaker 2: exactly how that works. I mean, it goes into different
- 6:42Speaker 2: levels of the tiebreak, but I don't know if that's
- 6:46Speaker 2: going to happen. I don't know if both teams are
- 6:47Speaker 2: gonna win out and then if they lose one, it
- 6:50Speaker 2: comes down to like who who do they lose two?
- 6:54Speaker 2: You know who who?
- 6:56Speaker 6: You know?
- 6:56Speaker 2: If if somebody loses in the division, I mean, that'll
- 6:58Speaker 2: make it really easy from what I was looking at,
- 7:01Speaker 2: Like if both teams go three and one, I think
- 7:08Speaker 2: if the Cowboys are to lose a game, I think
- 7:10Speaker 2: they would want to lose to Detroit, even though Detroit
- 7:13Speaker 2: is kind of right behind them there. But to win
- 7:15Speaker 2: the division, I think that would be the best route
- 7:18Speaker 2: for the Cowboys if they only lost one. Let's say,
- 7:21Speaker 2: if the Eagles lose to Seattle, because then then now
- 7:24Speaker 2: you're talking about teams that that they haven't the Eagles
- 7:27Speaker 2: haven't beaten, because if you lose to the to the
- 7:30Speaker 2: Bills or the Dolphins, Philly's beaten both of them. So
- 7:33Speaker 2: when when you're talking about head to head and and
- 7:36Speaker 2: then also you know, you know, strength the schedule, and
- 7:39Speaker 2: and the and the teams that that you have faced
- 7:42Speaker 2: each other. You know that that's where I think Detroit.
- 7:45Speaker 2: You know that game is gonna be huge. But all
- 7:47Speaker 2: the Cowboys can do is just win and just see
- 7:49Speaker 2: what happens. As Joe said, I don't know, you know,
- 7:51Speaker 2: if it matters where they play, Sure you want to
- 7:53Speaker 2: play at home, because they're certainly great at it. But
- 7:56Speaker 2: I think they've proven they can go and beat pretty
- 7:58Speaker 2: much anybody. All right, Chris and Vermont's our next caller.
- 8:04Speaker 7: Chris, what is up?
- 8:05Speaker 8: Nick Eaton?
- 8:05Speaker 9: How are you?
- 8:06Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm great. How are you doing?
- 8:10Speaker 6: Happy victory Monday? I'm excellent.
- 8:12Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever written down Vermont on my
- 8:15Speaker 2: little sheet here, so this is well.
- 8:17Speaker 6: I was listening last week and heard you didn't have Vermont,
- 8:20Speaker 6: so I figured I should probably give you a call
- 8:22Speaker 6: first time caller.
- 8:24Speaker 2: There we go, There we go, man.
- 8:26Speaker 6: I've been listening to you since like twenty thirteen. With
- 8:29Speaker 6: a lunch break.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm going to call out some of the
- 8:31Speaker 2: other states. I'm gonna call it. I'm gonna figure it
- 8:33Speaker 2: out and call some out. I know Alaska is one,
- 8:35Speaker 2: and I think South Dakota. That sounds about right. But yeah,
- 8:39Speaker 2: New Hampshire. Got anybody's in New Hampshire, you just say, hey,
- 8:43Speaker 2: call up.
- 8:44Speaker 10: I don't think so.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Okay, I'm off.
- 8:46Speaker 6: Road over there, But what's up?
- 8:47Speaker 9: Man?
- 8:48Speaker 6: Favorite favorite cowboy Jason Witten h random cowboy, Keith Brooking,
- 8:55Speaker 6: Keith favorite wrestler? Mankind?
- 8:58Speaker 2: Okay, I mean just the mankind? Or could it be
- 9:01Speaker 2: Mick Foley or could it.
- 9:02Speaker 6: Be well that was gonna be My trivia is what
- 9:05Speaker 6: were his What were his other names?
- 9:08Speaker 2: I me, man, Yeah, not Cactus?
- 9:15Speaker 4: No?
- 9:15Speaker 5: Not?
- 9:16Speaker 2: Is that one? Okay? Okay? And then is there another one?
- 9:19Speaker 6: And there's one more?
- 9:20Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 9:21Speaker 2: Tell me what is? What is it?
- 9:24Speaker 5: Dude?
- 9:25Speaker 2: Love got me? Where's Rob Phillips when you need them?
- 9:28Speaker 2: Rob Phillips would have had that question all day long?
- 9:31Speaker 2: All right? So what'd you love about the game or
- 9:34Speaker 2: like or dislike or whatever?
- 9:36Speaker 8: Man?
- 9:37Speaker 6: I was at a I was at the work Christmas
- 9:38Speaker 6: party last night, so I just got to watch it.
- 9:41Speaker 6: I watched as much as I could.
- 9:43Speaker 11: I watched the highlights this morning.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Whose seriously, I mean seriously, who schedules Christmas? Okay?
- 9:51Speaker 7: Sorry?
- 9:52Speaker 6: I just wanted to say, if you think so Aubrey Man.
- 9:55Speaker 6: Every once in a while, a team will pick somebody
- 9:57Speaker 6: up and they's got, you know, some confidence that the
- 10:00Speaker 6: they've got some some potential. But and they just turned
- 10:03Speaker 6: out to be a gym and that's what we got.
- 10:05Speaker 6: Really lucky with him, and he's been he's been awesome.
- 10:09Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 10:10Speaker 6: I was born in eighty seven, so I was like,
- 10:13Speaker 6: as Jerry would probably say, nee Hydro, a grasshopper watching
- 10:16Speaker 6: the nineties Super Bowls and unfortunately have been watching him
- 10:20Speaker 6: ever since. Open for another one. I've got a place
- 10:23Speaker 6: in North Carolina and then went to the last two
- 10:27Speaker 6: Panthers games. This last one, fortunately I was able to
- 10:31Speaker 6: bring my toddler to his first Cowboys game, which was awesome.
- 10:35Speaker 6: He had a Romo jersey, but he outgrew it and
- 10:40Speaker 6: I got him a Lamb jersey right around the time
- 10:43Speaker 6: the first Eagles game. And he's gone off every ever
- 10:47Speaker 6: since I got that jersey. So I guess we'll take
- 10:50Speaker 6: credit for that.
- 10:51Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Another one.
- 10:54Speaker 6: I don't care about. I don't care about the record.
- 10:57Speaker 6: I think we I think we can beat anybody. I
- 10:59Speaker 6: don't care where we have to go. I think we can.
- 11:03Speaker 6: There's not a team in the NFL that we can't
- 11:04Speaker 6: beat it at their house scale of one to ten.
- 11:09Speaker 6: What's your confidence that we beat the forty nine ers,
- 11:13Speaker 6: you know, at the at San Francisco.
- 11:15Speaker 2: And I'll yeah, I think thanks for the call. I
- 11:21Speaker 2: appreciate that. The question about the forty nine ers and
- 11:24Speaker 2: a confidence level there, it's probably like a four or five.
- 11:31Speaker 2: But see, here's the thing depends, you know, when do
- 11:35Speaker 2: you play them, Because if you go play the forty
- 11:38Speaker 2: nine ers, you you've already won a game in the
- 11:40Speaker 2: playoffs probably probably, and you know, maybe it's in the
- 11:45Speaker 2: championship game, and maybe you've won two games at this point,
- 11:48Speaker 2: you know, or who knows how it all shakes out.
- 11:51Speaker 2: But my point is is, I think the confidence level
- 11:53Speaker 2: is going to be higher. Even though you don't go
- 11:55Speaker 2: beat the Niners. You go beat somebody, and you're probably
- 11:57Speaker 2: gonna beat someone on the road. So to be able
- 12:00Speaker 2: to go at that point and go play the Niners
- 12:02Speaker 2: with confidence a little bit higher, I think it'll be
- 12:06Speaker 2: it'll you know, I think I think we'll even know
- 12:08Speaker 2: more about this team. So I mean, right now you're
- 12:11Speaker 2: only going off of what you you know, what you've seen,
- 12:14Speaker 2: and the Niners definitely have the Cowboys number and the
- 12:17Speaker 2: Niners are playing really really good football, so that's going
- 12:21Speaker 2: to be a challenge. But I do like the fact
- 12:24Speaker 2: that the Cowboys look different from the last time they
- 12:27Speaker 2: played the Niners. They've changed some things up. They've changed
- 12:31Speaker 2: things up in there in their offense. They do a
- 12:33Speaker 2: lot more motion, a lot more movement. They they they
- 12:37Speaker 2: were pretty much sitting duck for the forty nine ers
- 12:39Speaker 2: and before. Now they're doing things that that you know,
- 12:44Speaker 2: look at look at what Ceedee Lamb's do and look
- 12:45Speaker 2: what Brandon Cooks has done. So I think Dak's playing
- 12:48Speaker 2: a lot better. I think this offense is rolling way
- 12:52Speaker 2: way better than it was the first time. But you know,
- 12:56Speaker 2: we'll see what happened. And I think it was evident
- 12:58Speaker 2: with with the Philly game. I think I think that
- 12:59Speaker 2: they did a really nice job in this game Sunday night,
- 13:03Speaker 2: just showing some improvement. So you know, it's it's not
- 13:07Speaker 2: high because of what we've seen before, but I think
- 13:10Speaker 2: when you have to play them and what will happen
- 13:12Speaker 2: to get there, I think would probably be way better.
- 13:15Speaker 2: All right, I don't see phone lines are open right now.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Eight A eight eight five five two two nine seven
- 13:23Speaker 2: got a text question here. I just wanted to know
- 13:26Speaker 2: if Dmic and Sue would be a good fit to
- 13:29Speaker 2: replace Hankins going forward. We'll see what's up with with
- 13:34Speaker 2: with Hankins.
- 13:35Speaker 9: Uh.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Some reports on it on an ankle, maybe high ankle sprain.
- 13:38Speaker 2: I don't know if you need to go sign someone
- 13:40Speaker 2: to to you know, replace him right now, especially at
- 13:46Speaker 2: that caliber. But I'm sure, you know, looking at a
- 13:49Speaker 2: guy like I guess he's out there. I don't even
- 13:51Speaker 2: know if in Dominican Sue's out there, but you know,
- 13:55Speaker 2: he usually signs with with somebody that with a chance
- 13:58Speaker 2: to to you know, to go for in the playoffs,
- 14:00Speaker 2: and I'm sure the Cowboys would be that team uh
- 14:04Speaker 2: to do that. So again, I don't know about that.
- 14:07Speaker 2: I don't know about them them signing or adding players
- 14:10Speaker 2: to that. It'll kind of determine to see how bad
- 14:12Speaker 2: the injury is. I'll say this about Hankins. I mean,
- 14:15Speaker 2: he walked right past us in the out of the
- 14:18Speaker 2: locker room, and he was he was pretty quick, you know, moving,
- 14:22Speaker 2: so I didn't get the sense of him walking away
- 14:25Speaker 2: that it was like, oh, this is bad, He's going
- 14:27Speaker 2: to be out for a little bit. You know. I mean,
- 14:28Speaker 2: how much running does he really need to do? Anyways,
- 14:31Speaker 2: Obviously you need your ankles, you need your strength, you
- 14:33Speaker 2: need to be able to push off and leverage and
- 14:35Speaker 2: all that stuff. But just from the sense from what
- 14:37Speaker 2: I saw, I didn't didn't seem like a really bad injury.
- 14:40Speaker 2: But again, not a doctor, it didn't. You know. I
- 14:43Speaker 2: slept at home last night, so I don't have anything
- 14:46Speaker 2: going for me there, all right. Brian in Kansas City
- 14:50Speaker 2: is next.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Brian, Good morning, sir.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Are you lined up on sides? Sorry? Not funny?
- 14:57Speaker 4: Oh man, Man, poor homes look like he had a meltdown.
- 15:01Speaker 2: I blame the center. I think the center moved the ball. Honestly,
- 15:06Speaker 2: if you look at if you look at where the
- 15:08Speaker 2: blue line is, we're talking about the Chiefs game that
- 15:10Speaker 2: play that Kadarius Tony, and it was lined up all sides.
- 15:15Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen it wiped out, which would have
- 15:18Speaker 2: been one of the greatest plays Chiefs history or a
- 15:22Speaker 2: regular season history. But man, that was a tough way
- 15:24Speaker 2: to lose.
- 15:26Speaker 4: I was waiting for the Stanford band to come marching
- 15:28Speaker 4: on the field as he sped. I'm like, wow, we
- 15:31Speaker 4: look at his play and then you see that and
- 15:33Speaker 4: you're like, oh, what, that's just something.
- 15:35Speaker 2: But I say that just because I looked at the ball,
- 15:37Speaker 2: where the ball was and where the blue line was,
- 15:40Speaker 2: and it feel like maybe sometimes, and I've heard this,
- 15:43Speaker 2: sometimes the center will move the ball forward or backwards
- 15:46Speaker 2: a little bit, just just you know, just trying to
- 15:49Speaker 2: get the grip or whatever. And sometimes that's that's kind
- 15:52Speaker 2: of what you see. You go off of what the
- 15:54Speaker 2: ball is. So you know, now Tony should have been
- 15:57Speaker 2: going off where the ball was. But whatever, whatever, that's
- 16:01Speaker 2: their problem and they'll figure it out. No one's worried about.
- 16:03Speaker 2: No one's feeling sorry for the Chiefs, No, No, what's up, Brian?
- 16:08Speaker 4: Hey, So you know, I thought it was just unbelievable that,
- 16:11Speaker 4: you know, last week, I was a little concerned that
- 16:13Speaker 4: the Seahawks run up so many points on our defense,
- 16:17Speaker 4: and then this week, holy cow, six points is all
- 16:20Speaker 4: the Eagles offense could muster. Yeah, I mean that was
- 16:24Speaker 4: a defensive light out performance. I mean, geez, that was
- 16:29Speaker 4: just really something.
- 16:30Speaker 2: And needed a fake punt to get down there for
- 16:33Speaker 2: one of the field goals, you know, I mean they
- 16:35Speaker 2: really did not move the ball at all.
- 16:40Speaker 4: Hey. You know, and this is something I'm kind of
- 16:42Speaker 4: picking up on because I hear, you know, get a
- 16:44Speaker 4: different thing from y'all's podcasts, and a little bit on
- 16:47Speaker 4: the broadcast too. So you know, I'm always saying, you know,
- 16:50Speaker 4: if I could have anybody from a previous ere, I'd
- 16:53Speaker 4: put Eric Williams back out at right tackle because he
- 16:56Speaker 4: had just fight everybody, right, So, you know, during the
- 17:00Speaker 4: during the preseason, it looked like Bettish was that guy,
- 17:03Speaker 4: like he was always getting into fights and kind of
- 17:05Speaker 4: had the attitude of the for the offense. Now I
- 17:08Speaker 4: think it's Jake Ferguson. So I just figured I get
- 17:11Speaker 4: your opinion on that and go Cowboys, what a beatdown,
- 17:15Speaker 4: And I'll hang up and listen.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Brother, Thanks, Brian, appreciate that. You know, and I say
- 17:21Speaker 2: this obviously you're in Kansas City and and and I
- 17:24Speaker 2: and I mean this, like just watching him play the
- 17:27Speaker 2: way that Ferguson is playing right now. You know, they
- 17:31Speaker 2: got the same number and all that. But he is
- 17:33Speaker 2: playing like Kelsey. He really is. And I am not
- 17:36Speaker 2: sitting here to say that he is the next Jason
- 17:38Speaker 2: Kelcey or whatever, but or Travis Kelcey, Travis kell Sorry,
- 17:43Speaker 2: he's not the next Jason Kelsey either, but that'd be
- 17:45Speaker 2: cool if he was too. But I feel like the
- 17:49Speaker 2: way that he's just in a dangerous threat in the
- 17:53Speaker 2: open field, and he's so athletic. I mean, teams are
- 17:56Speaker 2: going to start, you know that they're not going to
- 17:58Speaker 2: go low anymore on him. I mean, he's jumping over
- 18:00Speaker 2: everyone and that was a really big play in the game,
- 18:04Speaker 2: just to just to get those extra yards for a
- 18:06Speaker 2: first down. He's he's just making plays in the open field.
- 18:11Speaker 2: He's not content on just going down, you know. I mean,
- 18:15Speaker 2: Jason Whitten was one of the best players in Cowboys history.
- 18:19Speaker 2: You can say what you want about athletic ability whatever.
- 18:22Speaker 2: The guy could get open. He could get open. But he,
- 18:24Speaker 2: you know, he wasn't so much the you know, the
- 18:27Speaker 2: yak guy, you know, the yards after catch. He wasn't
- 18:30Speaker 2: that guy that would, you know, catch the ball and
- 18:32Speaker 2: then go make a play. And that's that's what they're
- 18:36Speaker 2: they're having with Ferguson. Again, I'm not saying Ferguson's better
- 18:39Speaker 2: than Jason Whitten or Travis Kelcey or anything like that.
- 18:42Speaker 2: What I'm saying is is they have a playmaking tight
- 18:46Speaker 2: end now that can catch the ball. He's pretty sure handed.
- 18:49Speaker 2: He's had a drop or two, but I mean he's
- 18:51Speaker 2: pretty short handed. And then he's doing something with the
- 18:54Speaker 2: ball down the field. And to do that and to
- 18:56Speaker 2: be that type of guy with the weapons you have
- 18:59Speaker 2: it receiver and running back, that makes this offense even better.
- 19:03Speaker 2: You know, That's what I'm saying. I think the Cowboys
- 19:07Speaker 2: are a much better football team than they were when
- 19:10Speaker 2: they played the forty nine Ers the first time. Because
- 19:12Speaker 2: of the way their offense is rolling right now and
- 19:14Speaker 2: the way that they're calling the games and all that,
- 19:17Speaker 2: I think they're better. I bet the forty nine ers
- 19:19Speaker 2: are better too. But what I'm saying is, I just
- 19:21Speaker 2: think the Cowboys are a lot better. And we don't
- 19:24Speaker 2: even know if they're gonna play the four niners or whatever.
- 19:26Speaker 2: I'm just saying they're gonna have to play some really
- 19:28Speaker 2: good teams. That it starts the next three weeks. They
- 19:31Speaker 2: play really good football teams the next three weeks, and
- 19:34Speaker 2: then they're gonna go into the playoffs and they're gonna
- 19:36Speaker 2: face good football teams. And I just think they're a
- 19:39Speaker 2: better team than what we've seen when when they you know,
- 19:42Speaker 2: they lost pretty bad. If you like a month ago.
- 19:45Speaker 2: All right, Rob is in Vegas. Rob, Hey, Nick, Hey,
- 19:50Speaker 2: how are you doing.
- 19:51Speaker 8: That's championship football. There we go, Rob, that was nineties football.
- 19:57Speaker 8: That was smash mouths. We didn't we weren't tackling, we
- 20:01Speaker 8: were hitting. Balen Hurt didn't want it anymore. They were
- 20:05Speaker 8: killing Devonte Smith that he just was coughing it up
- 20:08Speaker 8: like crazy. I mean I was on last week. I
- 20:12Speaker 8: said I wanted to see Donovan Wilson get out of
- 20:14Speaker 8: witness protection.
- 20:15Speaker 2: He did, and he did.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Yeah, he made a huge player.
- 20:19Speaker 8: I thought the whole second there, especially his safeties really
- 20:22Speaker 8: showed up.
- 20:22Speaker 2: You're right about that. All the safeties made some kind
- 20:25Speaker 2: of play in the game, a turnover or a deflex
- 20:28Speaker 2: or something. They put curse on AJ Brown a little
- 20:32Speaker 2: bit in the slot. What's kind of scared me for
- 20:34Speaker 2: a second. But I mean.
- 20:36Speaker 8: Totally totally different. Yeah, you had the old man Stefan Gilmour.
- 20:42Speaker 8: I guess if you call him old, he goes back
- 20:45Speaker 8: five years.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Be careful every day, be careful. Yeah, yeah it was.
- 20:49Speaker 8: And then you got a cool hand Luke Brandon Aubrey
- 20:52Speaker 8: that the younger generation is going to have to google that.
- 20:55Speaker 8: But I gotta tell you he's close to being the
- 20:58Speaker 8: MVP of that game. What you asked that kid to
- 21:01Speaker 8: do is Steve misses those kicks, use the field position.
- 21:06Speaker 8: I mean, it was just great. I do anything, no
- 21:09Speaker 8: negativity whatsoever. I just thought they took the boot off
- 21:13Speaker 8: the throat in the second half. They could have put
- 21:15Speaker 8: that game away. I think they played not to lose
- 21:19Speaker 8: instead of a word, especially when they got the turnover
- 21:22Speaker 8: and then the fifteen yard They had great field position.
- 21:24Speaker 8: I think they were close to midfield and they didn't
- 21:26Speaker 8: do nothing with it. But Mike McCarthy, I mean, come on,
- 21:30Speaker 8: a man gets off the operating table. So anything that
- 21:33Speaker 8: was bothering you, a cold at an ankle when you
- 21:36Speaker 8: looked over saw this guy, I think that was definitely
- 21:39Speaker 8: that got them going. It was just it was a
- 21:42Speaker 8: butt kicking. And I know not everybody's seen the nineties Cowboys,
- 21:46Speaker 8: but that's what they kind of look like. We got
- 21:48Speaker 8: attitude on our offense. Jacob Ferguson got attitude like Michael Irvins.
- 21:54Speaker 8: They just they got attitude and the defense played it was.
- 21:57Speaker 3: It was awesome.
- 21:58Speaker 8: It was an awesome night. And what's crazy about your
- 22:00Speaker 8: show is my brain kicks in at four point thirty
- 22:03Speaker 8: in the morning, I start thinking about the game, what
- 22:06Speaker 8: I'm going to say. It wakes me up. It got
- 22:08Speaker 8: my adrenaline going, and and I've been up ever since.
- 22:10Speaker 8: I'm sure I'm gonna crash later. But hey, yeah, it
- 22:13Speaker 8: was worth it.
- 22:13Speaker 2: It was worth Yeah. Awesome. Thanks, I appreciate it, Rob,
- 22:16Speaker 2: Thanks for being supportive and and being, you know, being
- 22:20Speaker 2: ready to call. You know, it makes me wonder. I
- 22:22Speaker 2: bet you there's some people that are like, man, I
- 22:24Speaker 2: got to call in, I got this to say, this
- 22:26Speaker 2: to say, and you don't get in just because of
- 22:30Speaker 2: you know, we got the two phone lines, and we
- 22:33Speaker 2: got a lot of a lot of people calling, which
- 22:35Speaker 2: we appreciate, we definitely do. Uh, but keep calling, keep
- 22:39Speaker 2: calling you you'll you'll get in for sure. Uh yeah,
- 22:42Speaker 2: I agree with that. I think it did have a
- 22:44Speaker 2: feel of the nineties type team. I mean, this team
- 22:46Speaker 2: has has kind of those teams could win in a
- 22:49Speaker 2: lot of ways.
- 22:50Speaker 6: Uh.
- 22:51Speaker 2: And you know, I believe that ninety two team had
- 22:53Speaker 2: a rookie kicker named Lynn Elliott that nobody really thought
- 22:56Speaker 2: was was going to be that good and then he
- 22:58Speaker 2: ended up ended up having good season. I don't think
- 23:01Speaker 2: he didn't have a great career, but I had a
- 23:03Speaker 2: good season. But that team could win in a lot
- 23:06Speaker 2: of ways, and you know, they they ran the ball
- 23:10Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 23:10Speaker 7: You know.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Then obviously Smith ran the ball, you know, better than
- 23:14Speaker 2: most teams. Speaking of him, and got a chance to
- 23:17Speaker 2: talk to him on the pregame show yesterday, and you know,
- 23:20Speaker 2: he actually alluded to the fact of the Eagles, you know,
- 23:24Speaker 2: because when he was young, younger, like in ninety ninety one,
- 23:28Speaker 2: the Eagles were a lot more established and they had
- 23:31Speaker 2: to go and they had to prove to themselves they
- 23:33Speaker 2: could go beat the Eagles. You know, you got to
- 23:35Speaker 2: get over the hump and beat them. And they proved it,
- 23:39Speaker 2: you know, and not only did they did they beat
- 23:41Speaker 2: the Eagles, but they beat the Eagles twice in one
- 23:44Speaker 2: season in ninety two to make it to the Super Bowl,
- 23:47Speaker 2: And so that was really big. You know, it was
- 23:50Speaker 2: a big hurdle, mental hurdle. And maybe this goes, you know,
- 23:53Speaker 2: the same way, but yeah, I thought, I thought, oh,
- 23:56Speaker 2: all around, it was a really physical game for the Cowboys, say,
- 24:00Speaker 2: they kind of showed that they you know, they're not
- 24:02Speaker 2: gonna be pushed around at least not by the Eagles,
- 24:05Speaker 2: so but they're probably going to face them again, you know,
- 24:08Speaker 2: I would I would imagine wouldn't surprise me. And who
- 24:10Speaker 2: knows where that game will be, but I think if
- 24:13Speaker 2: it's in Dallas or if it's in Philly, it's going
- 24:15Speaker 2: to be a good game. So all right, let's go
- 24:18Speaker 2: to the lines in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael is up, Michael,
- 24:23Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
- 24:24Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I just ordered your book if
- 24:27Speaker 9: wal it's all called Amazon waiting for that.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, appreciate that.
- 24:32Speaker 9: I heard you talking about your book. I think Friday
- 24:35Speaker 9: you were talking about, you know, doing a book review thing.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to bring some books in, but I
- 24:41Speaker 2: don't know when the best day to do that. I
- 24:43Speaker 2: want to do it before Christmas. But we don't have
- 24:45Speaker 2: a show tomorrow. That's just kind of a schedule update.
- 24:47Speaker 2: There is no show, no no podcast at all across
- 24:50Speaker 2: the board tomorrow. So maybe winsdayre Thursday. But you know,
- 24:53Speaker 2: we got to get into got to get into Buffalo
- 24:56Speaker 2: Week and all that, So I am going to do
- 24:58Speaker 2: that at some point. I've got a stack of bo books,
- 25:00Speaker 2: some of them mind, some of them. People that I
- 25:03Speaker 2: know that have written books. I'm going to promote some.
- 25:05Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll be doing that at some point here
- 25:07Speaker 2: as soon.
- 25:09Speaker 5: Well.
- 25:10Speaker 9: I called after the Eagles after the Eagles beat the
- 25:13Speaker 9: Cowboys and said, uh and I thought we were gonna
- 25:16Speaker 9: win out and I still believe that, and I believe
- 25:20Speaker 9: if we went out that will win MVP. Yeah, and
- 25:24Speaker 9: uh so the thing is about the middle way of
- 25:26Speaker 9: the fourth quarter last night, I went, I went, yeah,
- 25:29Speaker 9: we got this wrapped up unless something crazy crazy happens,
- 25:32Speaker 9: and I started thinking, you know this, it doesn't really
- 25:36Speaker 9: matter because yeah, we're going to win. And if we
- 25:40Speaker 9: went out and even if the Eagle went out and
- 25:44Speaker 9: we still don't win the East, I think we're still
- 25:47Speaker 9: I think we're still we in good shape because I
- 25:50Speaker 9: think even if the Cowboys don't win the East, they're
- 25:53Speaker 9: going to go to Tampa or Blueever, Atlanta or whatever,
- 25:58Speaker 9: and just I don't think don't have a let down.
- 26:01Speaker 9: And then if they had to play the Eagles again,
- 26:04Speaker 9: I think it'll be the same show, but on the road.
- 26:08Speaker 9: And I just I think Dallas is gonna be ready
- 26:11Speaker 9: for San Francisco next time. Yeah, you were talking about
- 26:14Speaker 9: how different they're playing I think they'll be ready for
- 26:18Speaker 9: the forty nine. I mean, they might not beat them,
- 26:20Speaker 9: but I don't think it won't be.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Like, yeah, no, I agree. I think that they're they're
- 26:26Speaker 2: just playing at such a high level. But you know,
- 26:28Speaker 2: we're gonna still, you know, like this gauntlet's not even
- 26:31Speaker 2: close to being over. I mean, like you know, it's
- 26:34Speaker 2: Buffalo's just beat the Chiefs. Miami's playing really well right
- 26:38Speaker 2: now too, and you know they're gonna they're gonna have
- 26:41Speaker 2: a lot of weapons, a lot of speed. They're gonna be,
- 26:43Speaker 2: you know, challenging the Cowboys in a lot of ways.
- 26:45Speaker 2: And then Detroit's gonna come in here, you know, and
- 26:48Speaker 2: they'll be ready to fight. I mean, that's the thing
- 26:50Speaker 2: about Nan Campbell's teams. They'll be ready to fight. I
- 26:52Speaker 2: don't know how good that. I don't know how good
- 26:54Speaker 2: Detroit is. I really don't. I don't not sure on that,
- 26:59Speaker 2: but that's okay. I mean that they've won games and
- 27:00Speaker 2: they're gonna put themselves in position to go prove it.
- 27:03Speaker 2: So you know, there, they're gonna be a tough out
- 27:05Speaker 2: for sure. So we got a lot, we got a
- 27:07Speaker 2: lot to see about this team here. Even in the
- 27:09Speaker 2: next three weeks before Philly again or the Niners, or
- 27:13Speaker 2: you know, anything in the playoffs. You still got some games.
- 27:15Speaker 2: And that that's what makes it fun.
- 27:18Speaker 9: When when we hear about hank because we can't lose him.
- 27:22Speaker 2: No, you certainly can't. Yeah, I'm not sure if I
- 27:26Speaker 2: actually you know, I say that. Stephen Jones, uh does
- 27:30Speaker 2: a he does a call today on the radio. U
- 27:33Speaker 2: he might have an update on Hankins. We'll be we'll
- 27:35Speaker 2: be listening for that. So I would imagine something here
- 27:37Speaker 2: in this afternoon.
- 27:39Speaker 9: I think that's in good shape. All right, go all
- 27:42Speaker 9: the way to the NFC Championship game. I don't know
- 27:44Speaker 9: about after that, but let's do it to get there.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Hey, why stop, Let's just keep let's keep it rolling.
- 27:50Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the call. Let's take a break
- 27:53Speaker 2: here on Cowboy storyline. Uh, we got more callers and

- 30:07Speaker 2: All right back here on Cowboys storyline, let's go to
- 30:09Speaker 2: the phone lines with Jeff. He's in North Carolina.
- 30:14Speaker 3: What's going on?
- 30:15Speaker 10: Nick?
- 30:15Speaker 2: What's up? Jeff?
- 30:17Speaker 5: You're doing all right?
- 30:18Speaker 2: I'm doing good? How about you? Are you doing good?
- 30:21Speaker 2: Was that game all right?
- 30:22Speaker 16: I am doing great?
- 30:24Speaker 5: Man.
- 30:24Speaker 16: I'm off this week and coming off a great victory.
- 30:27Speaker 16: I thought I got to call my buddy Nick talk
- 30:30Speaker 16: about the Cowboys.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Yep, yep. What was your favorite part of the game.
- 30:35Speaker 16: I just you know, Nick, it was It's not whatn't
- 30:39Speaker 16: even as close as.
- 30:40Speaker 5: The score was.
- 30:40Speaker 2: It wasn't. I didn't I wrote that. I wrote the
- 30:43Speaker 2: same thing in my article every twenty point win and
- 30:46Speaker 2: it wasn't even that close.
- 30:48Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean you could from the first drive and
- 30:50Speaker 16: went down the field and scored. I thought, man, we're
- 30:53Speaker 16: in good shape. Thought Gilmour played great. I mean he played.
- 30:57Speaker 16: He got in aj Brown's head last and thought he
- 31:01Speaker 16: played great, and he does. They're gonna have a tough
- 31:04Speaker 16: game this week, I mean, because they struggle against teams
- 31:06Speaker 16: with good receivers, and if they can, if Gino's back
- 31:10Speaker 16: playing quarterback and they give him time, I mean Eagles
- 31:14Speaker 16: might have a tough time this week too. But I
- 31:17Speaker 16: thought it was a great win. I thought, uh, Mike
- 31:19Speaker 16: done a great job again calling plays, thought back, just
- 31:22Speaker 16: done his thing and it's just great. And guy got
- 31:26Speaker 16: a random Cowboy for you, which he's not real random.
- 31:28Speaker 16: But I remember I think it was nineteen eighty four
- 31:32Speaker 16: opening night. I believe that was a night that h
- 31:36Speaker 16: Gary Hogeboom made his first start for the Cowboys, and
- 31:41Speaker 16: I think at the time he had thirty three completions
- 31:44Speaker 16: that first game, which at that time I think was
- 31:46Speaker 16: the Cowboys record, and I'll let you check on that.
- 31:50Speaker 16: And so everybody thought he was going to be the
- 31:54Speaker 16: big thing and didn't. It didn't last real long.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't last. And now it's didn't last. You know,
- 31:59Speaker 2: I think he was on uh Survivor, each of them,
- 32:05Speaker 2: so like Gary Hogeboom, right, yeah, I think he ended
- 32:08Speaker 2: up being online survivor. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. I mean,
- 32:12Speaker 2: you know, I don't think. I don't think he did
- 32:14Speaker 2: as well as like my man Danny McCrae. But I
- 32:16Speaker 2: mean I think, yeah, yeah, they played the Rams in
- 32:20Speaker 2: eighty four to start the season in one, but uh,
- 32:24Speaker 2: he didn't last long as a starter. I mean, I
- 32:27Speaker 2: know that was the year that Dan, Danny White and
- 32:29Speaker 2: Hoga Boom was a controversy, but I think White ended
- 32:33Speaker 2: up getting it back. Yeah, they both they both threw
- 32:38Speaker 2: like two hundred and I mean they threw a bunch
- 32:41Speaker 2: of pat Hoka Boom actually played a little bit more.
- 32:43Speaker 2: But but yeah, Gary Hogeboom, Yeah, I didn't didn't.
- 32:47Speaker 16: Went on to play for the Cardinals.
- 32:48Speaker 2: Cardinals, he sure did. Yeah.
- 32:51Speaker 16: So anyway, great showed Nick.
- 32:54Speaker 3: I appreciate tak my call.
- 32:56Speaker 16: Yeah, and maybe since I'm offus, like I might call
- 32:59Speaker 16: you another time this week.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Sounds great, Yeah, like thank you for you two. Yeah,
- 33:07Speaker 2: won't be tomorrow. Like I said, our schedule is going
- 33:10Speaker 2: to change for tomorrow. We do not have shows. Our
- 33:14Speaker 2: whole team is going to be We'll be going with
- 33:18Speaker 2: volunteering at the Salvation Army tomorrow afternoon. So we're just
- 33:23Speaker 2: we're kind of wiping out all the slight of shows
- 33:26Speaker 2: on a Tuesday. So that's okay. We'll get back, get
- 33:29Speaker 2: get back after it on Wednesday for sure.
- 33:32Speaker 4: You know.
- 33:32Speaker 2: One of the things I got. The phone lines are
- 33:34Speaker 2: open still I think at this point eight eight eight
- 33:36Speaker 2: eight five five two two nine seven if you want
- 33:38Speaker 2: to give us a call and uh tell us what
- 33:41Speaker 2: you think about the game this week, you mentioned Gilmour.
- 33:46Speaker 2: You know, I thought I thought you could make a
- 33:48Speaker 2: case for about five players yesterday at least. This is
- 33:52Speaker 2: just this is not even guys like in the trenches
- 33:54Speaker 2: or whatever. I'm just talking about five guys that you
- 33:56Speaker 2: can kind of watch and see that played their best
- 33:58Speaker 2: game of the season. And what a great time to
- 34:01Speaker 2: do that, you know, I mean Gilmour for sure. I
- 34:03Speaker 2: mean Gilmore, that was the best game he's played probably
- 34:06Speaker 2: in a while. Probably probably didn't play many games like
- 34:08Speaker 2: that with the Colts or they. I don't think he
- 34:10Speaker 2: would have traded him for a fifth round pick. I mean,
- 34:12Speaker 2: he was really, really good. I thought Gilmore had his
- 34:14Speaker 2: best game of the season. I thought Dondan Wilson had
- 34:18Speaker 2: his best game of the season. He hadn't played I
- 34:21Speaker 2: wouldn't say he had played poorly, but he just hadn't
- 34:23Speaker 2: played to the level that you kind of expected.
- 34:25Speaker 4: You know.
- 34:26Speaker 2: He signed a big contract and I thought he was
- 34:28Speaker 2: really setting the tone with some big, big hits, did
- 34:31Speaker 2: a nice job in the game. I thought that was
- 34:33Speaker 2: his best game of the season. Probably Michael Gallup's best game,
- 34:37Speaker 2: maybe not stat wise, but scored a touchdown, had a
- 34:40Speaker 2: great catch on the sideline, drew a pass interference penalty
- 34:43Speaker 2: that led to a field goal, you know, And we
- 34:46Speaker 2: talked about Gallup a lot. You know, I know the
- 34:48Speaker 2: fans are kind of hard on him. I just haven't
- 34:50Speaker 2: been because I think he's just he's his attitude is right,
- 34:54Speaker 2: he handles it the right way. He's not a featured receiver,
- 34:58Speaker 2: but he's gonna go out there, he's gonna keep running round.
- 35:00Speaker 2: He stays engaged. He's going to make a play when
- 35:02Speaker 2: you need him to. And I you know, I think
- 35:05Speaker 2: that he's a good third receiver to have. Again, don't
- 35:07Speaker 2: worry about the money right now. The money he is spent.
- 35:10Speaker 2: The money is what it is. Just worry about that
- 35:13Speaker 2: in the offseason. I think having Gallop on the team
- 35:16Speaker 2: is a good thing. And you know, he did a
- 35:19Speaker 2: nice job. And uh in that game, I thought, I
- 35:21Speaker 2: thought Aubrey probably played his best game, even though he's
- 35:23Speaker 2: had a remarkable season so far. Still a sixty fifty nine,
- 35:29Speaker 2: another fifty forty five to clinch out the game. I mean,
- 35:33Speaker 2: it was it was awesome. No missed extra points. I mean,
- 35:36Speaker 2: he was basically making field goals on the on the
- 35:39Speaker 2: on the kickoffs. I mean he was. He was definitely
- 35:42Speaker 2: lucked in so great stuff. You could go on and
- 35:45Speaker 2: on about other other guys. I think there's some other
- 35:47Speaker 2: players maybe that you could say played their best game.
- 35:50Speaker 2: But those guys for sure, gil Moore and and Donovan Wilson,
- 35:55Speaker 2: Aubrey Gallop, maybe Ferguson too. I mean Ferguson, he's had
- 36:00Speaker 2: better stats. It's not all about stats. It's just kind
- 36:02Speaker 2: of the plays that you made and how you made them.
- 36:05Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the line here. Mark is
- 36:07Speaker 2: in Florida.
- 36:09Speaker 5: Hey Mark, Hey, Hey Nikki, how you doing, Buddy?
- 36:12Speaker 2: I'm good, all.
- 36:14Speaker 5: Right, I gotta take I gotta take two cowboys, Billy
- 36:16Speaker 5: Joe Dupre and Larry Cole. All right, my, you know,
- 36:21Speaker 5: underrated solid football players.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Yeah, lock them.
- 36:24Speaker 5: Billy Joe had amazing hands last night's game. Uh, the
- 36:30Speaker 5: first drive we got third and one, I think we
- 36:33Speaker 5: were around forty forty five and there's no back in
- 36:37Speaker 5: the backfield. He's in the shotgun and we do the
- 36:40Speaker 5: sweet Pitt Turfy. That's great. This running game. For most
- 36:43Speaker 5: of the year, we couldn't run between the tackles, and
- 36:46Speaker 5: to me, you got to move the defensive line, and
- 36:50Speaker 5: we got to say what it is. Our best run
- 36:52Speaker 5: game was to the outside of the tackles. Last night. Finally,
- 36:57Speaker 5: finally the kid ran in between the tackle and we
- 37:00Speaker 5: move people off the line. And I'm going to attribute
- 37:02Speaker 5: that to my fingers crossed helped the offensive line finally
- 37:08Speaker 5: playing together. People, I don't think realize how important it
- 37:12Speaker 5: is that the guy to the right of you, the
- 37:14Speaker 5: guy to the left of you, you think, is one
- 37:17Speaker 5: you think and if you change out one player, don't forget.
- 37:20Speaker 5: Early in the year, we played one game without three starters. Okay,
- 37:24Speaker 5: so you know, and.
- 37:25Speaker 2: Nobody forgets that game. Nobody, I mean seriously, nobody forgets
- 37:29Speaker 2: losing to the Cardinals, right.
- 37:32Speaker 5: Right, right right. But I think I think that game
- 37:34Speaker 5: was a typical offensive line problem game. You know, they
- 37:38Speaker 5: were all over Prescott, we couldn't run the ball, and
- 37:42Speaker 5: so so happy to see them run in between the tackles.
- 37:47Speaker 5: I just don't like when you're third and short and
- 37:50Speaker 5: you're in a shotgun with no back next to you
- 37:54Speaker 5: to me just telegraphing that we're running, that we're going
- 37:58Speaker 5: to pass the ball and if it ain't a pair,
- 38:00Speaker 5: that it's that jet. Sweet, you know, I want them
- 38:03Speaker 5: to think about, Hey, they could come up the middle,
- 38:06Speaker 5: you know, with a running back, and he didn't do
- 38:09Speaker 5: it on the first drive, and I just go, here
- 38:10Speaker 5: we go again. But then theater run in the game,
- 38:13Speaker 5: They ran in between the tackles, and I'm very very happy.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:17Speaker 5: Lastly, yep, lastly, we've got to be realists. The schedule
- 38:21Speaker 5: doesn't favor us. The Eagles have a big edge on
- 38:24Speaker 5: the division. So in my mind, you know, Giants, Cardinals, Giants.
- 38:29Speaker 5: I know it's the NFL if he think could happen,
- 38:31Speaker 5: but I ain't putting my money on those streets on
- 38:33Speaker 5: those two teams to beat the Eagles. So you know what,
- 38:37Speaker 5: we take the Forts the fifth seed, and we go
- 38:40Speaker 5: to the South. We'll be We'll be fine because you've
- 38:43Speaker 5: got to win on the road in this sleep, and
- 38:45Speaker 5: you went on the road by running the ball and
- 38:48Speaker 5: finally you're running game. All right.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Sounds good? All right, thanks for the call, Mark, You
- 38:53Speaker 2: know about that about the Eagles schedule. I mean, I'm
- 38:58Speaker 2: gonna just say this, the Giants are going to give
- 39:01Speaker 2: the Eagles a game one of these two games. Mark
- 39:05Speaker 2: it down. I you know, I don't know if they
- 39:08Speaker 2: can win the game, but they will, they will give
- 39:11Speaker 2: them a game. They will. I mean, they will be
- 39:14Speaker 2: way more competitive against the Eagles than they have been
- 39:16Speaker 2: against the Cowboys this year. And uh, you know these
- 39:21Speaker 2: they got two games up there. We'll see what the
- 39:23Speaker 2: weather looks like. But I could definitely see a situation
- 39:27Speaker 2: where the Giants are giving them. So I don't know
- 39:29Speaker 2: if they beat them, but I wouldn't just write that
- 39:33Speaker 2: off just yet. We'll see about the Cardinals, you know,
- 39:36Speaker 2: I think they're on a buy this week. They are
- 39:38Speaker 2: on a buy. Who knows, you know, who knows? And
- 39:41Speaker 2: who knows what the Cowboys do? You know what I mean?
- 39:43Speaker 2: In Seattle? They got Eagles, gotta play Seattle. A lot,
- 39:46Speaker 2: a lot of stuff can happen, you know, and weird
- 39:49Speaker 2: things happen all the time. I'm watching highlights as we
- 39:51Speaker 2: speak of the Bears just whipping the Lions. You know,
- 39:56Speaker 2: you never know, you just you don't know what's going
- 39:58Speaker 2: to happen. All right. Travis is in San Antonio. Travis
- 40:02Speaker 2: is our next caller.
- 40:04Speaker 11: Happy hit him in the mouth victory Monday, Nick.
- 40:07Speaker 2: Hit him in the mouth Monday.
- 40:09Speaker 3: I like it.
- 40:11Speaker 5: Great.
- 40:11Speaker 2: That's a great term. That's exactly what happened. That's exactly
- 40:14Speaker 2: what happened. They they beat him down.
- 40:18Speaker 11: I don't know if I can get a here we
- 40:20Speaker 11: go from CRISP, but I think I have the new
- 40:22Speaker 11: record for phone calls. It was like one seventies, so
- 40:24Speaker 11: the line the calls of definitely that client.
- 40:27Speaker 7: Was there, you know, sleep.
- 40:29Speaker 11: I just wanted to say, I think I think someone
- 40:32Speaker 11: mentioned earlier about Jake Ferguson.
- 40:33Speaker 7: I think I was kind.
- 40:34Speaker 11: Of waiting for someone on the offensive line. I'm not
- 40:37Speaker 11: saying that you don't have tough guys up there, but
- 40:39Speaker 11: he seems to be this year. He seems to really
- 40:42Speaker 11: have taken a step kind of being the like the emotional,
- 40:45Speaker 11: uh you know, like leader as far as on the
- 40:47Speaker 11: field goes even more even more so than CD. And
- 40:50Speaker 11: I think Dak mentioned it after a postgame where he
- 40:53Speaker 11: said he's on he kind of rides the line of
- 40:55Speaker 11: h you know, saying and crazy and I got to
- 40:57Speaker 11: kind of reel him in somewhat. But I think it's
- 40:58Speaker 11: good to have someone on that on that, you know,
- 41:00Speaker 11: on that line they can kind of it gives the
- 41:03Speaker 11: team that energy, So I think that's a plus. And
- 41:07Speaker 11: I know Brian brought us earlier this week was talking
- 41:09Speaker 11: about I looked up some stats to get for Daleen
- 41:12Speaker 11: hurts against pressure.
- 41:13Speaker 7: And when he was pressured, he didn't deal.
- 41:15Speaker 11: With like the boots very well as far as throwing goes.
- 41:17Speaker 11: So I was saying coming into the week, I wanted
- 41:19Speaker 11: them to not sit back, but I know, you know,
- 41:21Speaker 11: the whole Sam fran thing was rushed for and kind
- 41:24Speaker 11: of don't come after him. I was actually happy to
- 41:26Speaker 11: see that dan Quinn on a couple of those third downs,
- 41:28Speaker 11: especially the one where Gilmour made that play, you know,
- 41:31Speaker 11: tackling him in the open field, Devonte Ceith. I was
- 41:34Speaker 11: happy they came after him because he doesn't look like
- 41:37Speaker 11: he wants to get I'm not saying quarterbacks want to
- 41:39Speaker 11: get hit, but you know what I'm saying, like, yeah,
- 41:41Speaker 11: it doesn't. He looks he looks like he doesn't want
- 41:44Speaker 11: to take any kind of contact right now when he's
- 41:47Speaker 11: back pedaling and throwing that ball like short like that.
- 41:50Speaker 11: So I think that was smart to do. I just
- 41:53Speaker 11: want to see what your thoughts were.
- 41:54Speaker 2: Yeah, well thanks for the call, Travis. As always, I
- 41:57Speaker 2: appreciate that. And you know, the the blitz was was there.
- 42:01Speaker 2: I mean all night they timed it. They did a
- 42:04Speaker 2: nice job of timing it too, And Eagles are hard
- 42:06Speaker 2: team to kind of play. I it looks like a
- 42:12Speaker 2: false start every play, it really does. And and the
- 42:14Speaker 2: thing that bothers me about the inconsistency and the rules,
- 42:18Speaker 2: it's just that, like you know how, you know how
- 42:21Speaker 2: I feel about like the tush push and stuff like that.
- 42:23Speaker 2: I just don't understand why there's inconsistencies with the way
- 42:28Speaker 2: the game is called for one play or one position
- 42:32Speaker 2: than any anyone else. For instance, like I've said, you
- 42:36Speaker 2: cannot leverage yourself on someone else to block a field goal,
- 42:40Speaker 2: So but you can push someone in the back if
- 42:42Speaker 2: they're not close to a first down or they haven't
- 42:44Speaker 2: got a first down, you can push them into the
- 42:46Speaker 2: end zone. That just seems inconsistent to me. Also, a
- 42:51Speaker 2: wide receiver has to be set, he could be in motion.
- 42:54Speaker 2: He has to be set and then snapped the ball.
- 42:58Speaker 2: But a guard can can get up and make a
- 43:02Speaker 2: move and get down and snap the ball. I mean
- 43:04Speaker 2: that play was causing the Cowboys to jump. I mean,
- 43:07Speaker 2: that looks like that's a false start to me. The
- 43:12Speaker 2: biggest one for me is that, like if you're blocking
- 43:15Speaker 2: someone or you're rushing, if you get your hand up
- 43:18Speaker 2: in the face penalty, and we saw it, Michael Parson's
- 43:21Speaker 2: got a penalty his hand Lane Johnson's face. However, if
- 43:26Speaker 2: you have a football in your hand and you're on
- 43:27Speaker 2: the sideline and a guy's coming to tackle you, you
- 43:30Speaker 2: can just club him right in the face and that's okay.
- 43:33Speaker 2: It doesn't hurt because you have a football. I guess
- 43:35Speaker 2: you can just smash him right in the face and
- 43:37Speaker 2: that's a face mask, and that's okay because you have
- 43:40Speaker 2: a football. Inconsistency's like that. Like, those are the things
- 43:43Speaker 2: that just kind of bothered me. So I don't know,
- 43:45Speaker 2: I'm just kind of venting on that one. Sorry, but yeah,
- 43:49Speaker 2: ask for Jake Ferguson and we had a text message
- 43:52Speaker 2: question from Kent and Las Crucis about that. He says,
- 43:55Speaker 2: how long before Ferguson starts being mentioned as one of
- 43:58Speaker 2: the best tides end in football? Now? Now, I think
- 44:03Speaker 2: let's let's do that now because he is making not
- 44:06Speaker 2: only is he is he making catches, making plays, big,
- 44:10Speaker 2: big plays in the game. I mean he is a
- 44:12Speaker 2: guy on third and five, third and sixteen. We saw
- 44:15Speaker 2: it a couple weeks ago. He is making game changing
- 44:19Speaker 2: plays that moving the sticks, keeping first downs alive, and
- 44:23Speaker 2: he's playing with the swag. I don't think he's playing
- 44:25Speaker 2: with you know, I don't think he's a big trash talker.
- 44:28Speaker 2: I really don't see that. But he ain't gonna let
- 44:31Speaker 2: you talk to him, you know. I mean, he's gonna
- 44:33Speaker 2: bring it back. But but I think he's just doing
- 44:36Speaker 2: it the right way. He's having fun. I mean, those
- 44:38Speaker 2: tight ends are always having fun. But but I think
- 44:41Speaker 2: he's becoming a really dynamic tight end and it's and
- 44:46Speaker 2: it's only going can you do that? And that's the
- 44:48Speaker 2: thing you talk about those nineties Cowboys and what did
- 44:51Speaker 2: that team have. You know, this team does not have
- 44:53Speaker 2: an MT Smith. Okay, we know that they don't have
- 44:55Speaker 2: an M Smith, But then again, the league isn't really
- 44:58Speaker 2: designed the same way for that kind of stuff. But
- 45:01Speaker 2: they have playmaking wide receivers. Uh have a tight end
- 45:06Speaker 2: now that that that you can trust and you can
- 45:09Speaker 2: make catches and you know, it's almost like a you know,
- 45:12Speaker 2: oversized receiver really, and that's kind of what Ferguson has become.
- 45:15Speaker 2: All Right, we got Bob Is in Rio Grand Valley.
- 45:19Speaker 10: Bob the paraphrase the late great Jackie Gleason's house, Sweeted.
- 45:30Speaker 10: I tell you what, brother.
- 45:31Speaker 5: The birds the thing to be singing a little bit
- 45:34Speaker 5: louder this morning.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Not not not the ones in Philly, not those birds.
- 45:39Speaker 2: Actually funny you say that, you know what those birds
- 45:43Speaker 2: have been singing. I don't know if you guys caught that,
- 45:45Speaker 2: but you know, the Eagles have just put out a
- 45:46Speaker 2: brand new CD. They they they've made you know that
- 45:50Speaker 2: they they published their own their own record.
- 45:53Speaker 4: Uh.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Jason Jason Kelsey has a song on it. Uh, some
- 45:57Speaker 2: of the other players have, you know, so that they
- 45:59Speaker 2: they've been really so I wouldn't be too worried about them.
- 46:02Speaker 2: You know, maybe they're not too happy about the game.
- 46:04Speaker 2: At least they've got an album, you know, the music
- 46:07Speaker 2: that they were able to put out, So good for
- 46:09Speaker 2: them for doing that. So, yeah, the birds are singing
- 46:11Speaker 2: up there.
- 46:12Speaker 10: Maybe the maintenance crew can play that album while they're
- 46:16Speaker 10: vacuuming all the eagle feathers out.
- 46:18Speaker 5: Of AT and T Stadium about that?
- 46:20Speaker 10: Yeah, who are you gonna mention in the game like
- 46:23Speaker 10: we just witnessed last night. I mean, you want to
- 46:26Speaker 10: talk about Gilmour, You want to talk about Ferguson. You
- 46:30Speaker 10: want to talk about Dak, You want to talk about
- 46:33Speaker 10: Augrey Man. The list goes on and on and on.
- 46:37Speaker 5: If appreciate you taking my call.
- 46:39Speaker 4: What a great victory Tuesday?
- 46:42Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's Monday, still I believe. But but you
- 46:46Speaker 2: can you can still? You know you can? Is it?
- 46:49Speaker 2: And this is Monday?
- 46:50Speaker 3: Right?
- 46:50Speaker 2: Okay, don't confuse me here, Bob? Yeah, good, good stuff
- 46:54Speaker 2: for sure. All right, Let's go to Brian in Pennsylvania.
- 46:58Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be our last caller. Brian oh Man,
- 47:01Speaker 2: what's going on?

- 47:25Speaker 7: I mean, who am I to say anything to you?
- 47:28Speaker 7: You got to walk up to him at Smith or
- 47:30Speaker 7: like see him at Smith and be like, hey man,
- 47:32Speaker 7: how's it going you want to be on the camera.
- 47:34Speaker 2: Well it didn't happen exactly like that. Chris Bean was
- 47:37Speaker 2: actually the one that kind of stalked him and then uh,
- 47:40Speaker 2: and you know, he was kind of the setup man.
- 47:43Speaker 2: And then and then uh, Roxanne Medina, who's done some
- 47:47Speaker 2: great work with us for a lot of you know,
- 47:49Speaker 2: a lot of years. I won't say how many, but
- 47:51Speaker 2: she knows. She knows EMM Smith and he knows her.
- 47:53Speaker 2: And he was like, oh, yeah, for sure. He Rocks
- 47:55Speaker 2: is the closer. You know, everyone did the no one
- 47:57Speaker 2: says no to Rocks answer. Roxannels the one dude said yeah,
- 48:01Speaker 2: come do this interview and he's like okay, and then
- 48:02Speaker 2: he comes over and does it. He said he only
- 48:04Speaker 2: has two minutes, but he had about three or four.
- 48:06Speaker 2: And he cussed, by.
- 48:07Speaker 7: The way, Yeah, well, must be a tough gig. You
- 48:10Speaker 7: talked to him about short running backs and he lets
- 48:12Speaker 7: you know what, he's oh.
- 48:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He he didn't like that. I mean,
- 48:16Speaker 2: he was fine, but yeah, you know, it's the Internet
- 48:18Speaker 2: and he can cuss. That's fine. All good. Yeah, I
- 48:21Speaker 2: mean he heard that.
- 48:22Speaker 7: Man, he can do a lot of things.
- 48:23Speaker 2: He can And I said that, and I said that too.
- 48:26Speaker 2: I was like, I do think everyone says the word
- 48:29Speaker 2: goat all the time too often, not with him, a Smith,
- 48:32Speaker 2: you can call him the goat because he's got he's
- 48:35Speaker 2: got the rushing record to prove it.
- 48:37Speaker 7: Yeah, I remember that day. It was crazy. Yeah. Anyways,
- 48:41Speaker 7: random cowboy, Ron Fellows.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Ron Fellow goggles. We're the goggles. Yeah, we're
- 48:48Speaker 2: the goggles. Scored a couple of touchdowns.
- 48:51Speaker 7: You know.
- 48:51Speaker 2: See my year is nineteen eighty three, that's the year.
- 48:55Speaker 2: What do you what do you know about Ron Fellows?
- 48:57Speaker 7: You know?
- 48:57Speaker 2: But uh yeah, I mean that was my guy though,
- 49:00Speaker 2: that whole year in nineteen eighty three. So yeah, number
- 49:03Speaker 2: twenty seven he had I think he scored two touchdowns
- 49:07Speaker 2: back to back weeks. Now, drawn Bland's done that, but
- 49:09Speaker 2: he did. He scored a touchdown a couple two weeks
- 49:11Speaker 2: in a row on defense and special teams. That's what
- 49:14Speaker 2: I remember about Ron Fellows.
- 49:15Speaker 7: Yeah, he was one of those guys, like a Leyton
- 49:17Speaker 7: Vanderish type, just came to work, did what he needed
- 49:21Speaker 7: to do. You know, when he was there, he was there,
- 49:23Speaker 7: and he didn't really have to worry about him when
- 49:25Speaker 7: he was on the field.
- 49:25Speaker 2: Yeah it's fair.
- 49:27Speaker 7: So but anyways, hey, we had a great game. And
- 49:31Speaker 7: when I was watching that game, I was not only
- 49:34Speaker 7: did we have a complete team win, you know, which
- 49:37Speaker 7: we desperately needed, like not just a team win where
- 49:40Speaker 7: you know, all three played good. I would say all
- 49:42Speaker 7: three phases played great. Yeah, and I don't think we've
- 49:46Speaker 7: had that. It reminds me a couple of years ago
- 49:48Speaker 7: actually of the Eagles whenever Jake Elliott started getting hot
- 49:53Speaker 7: as a kicker, and then all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
- 49:55Speaker 7: here we go. Yeah, and then every possession you played
- 49:58Speaker 7: against their offense, knew they were going to get at
- 50:01Speaker 7: least three. That was the standard, you know, because anything
- 50:04Speaker 7: after the fifty and then that really put a lot
- 50:06Speaker 7: of pressure on your team.
- 50:08Speaker 2: I think my question go ahead, no, go ahead, Oh.
- 50:11Speaker 7: My question is for these next four games, looking at
- 50:15Speaker 7: it going down the stretch, regardless of the wins are losses,
- 50:18Speaker 7: because everyone's going to count the wins and the losses
- 50:20Speaker 7: and this and that. And like I've said all year,
- 50:23Speaker 7: I don't care until the postseason starts, because I've been
- 50:27Speaker 7: down this road for the past twenty years, and we
- 50:29Speaker 7: look real great in November and December and in January,
- 50:33Speaker 7: I'm watching, you know, two other teams play. But my
- 50:37Speaker 7: question is, what would you want to see from the
- 50:40Speaker 7: Cowboys coming off of this win and going into the
- 50:44Speaker 7: next four weeks, what do you need to see and
- 50:46Speaker 7: what do we need to see for us to actually say, Okay,
- 50:50Speaker 7: we're ready like this, this is the time, no better
- 50:55Speaker 7: time than this. Push all your chips into the middle
- 50:58Speaker 7: of the table and let's go. Yeah, Like, what what
- 51:00Speaker 7: is that one or two things? Did you think that
- 51:03Speaker 7: if we cleaned up or we other than like penalties
- 51:05Speaker 7: and stuff? You know, I think that's a young team thing.
- 51:08Speaker 7: But as far as I see, like if we keep
- 51:11Speaker 7: going on this road and the way Dak understands the
- 51:14Speaker 7: offense and the way Micah and the defense understand each other,
- 51:19Speaker 7: I just think we need to take this point and
- 51:22Speaker 7: this needs to be our standard now and we have
- 51:23Speaker 7: to play better than this every week, and if we
- 51:26Speaker 7: do that, we'll definitely have a greater shot than I've
- 51:30Speaker 7: seen since it was the Rock.
- 51:32Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I agree, all right, Brian, appreciate the call.
- 51:36Speaker 2: We got to run here. I'm gonna answer that that
- 51:39Speaker 2: part though. What do I need to see? I mean,
- 51:42Speaker 2: like you said it, I mean like this is this
- 51:44Speaker 2: is a good football team. This is a really good
- 51:46Speaker 2: football team, and they're gonna be competitive in the playoffs.
- 51:48Speaker 2: We know that doesn't really matter at this point. I mean,
- 51:51Speaker 2: they're they're gonna I'm sure they'll they'll get in the
- 51:53Speaker 2: playoffs and we'll get one of the seeds and we'll
- 51:55Speaker 2: see where they stand. So I don't know, can they
- 51:59Speaker 2: show you any thing to make you feel better? Yeah,
- 52:01Speaker 2: I mean they can. They can show things that they
- 52:03Speaker 2: can stop. Like this week, Josh Allen's probably gonna run
- 52:06Speaker 2: for a lot of yards, you know. I mean they can.
- 52:08Speaker 2: They can make sure and kind of shore that up
- 52:10Speaker 2: a little bit. They can run the ball a little
- 52:12Speaker 2: bit better. It's gonna be a colder game. I don't
- 52:14Speaker 2: think weather it's gonna be bad, but I think it's
- 52:15Speaker 2: gonna be a cold game that they you know, Rico,
- 52:19Speaker 2: I thought he ran the ball well. Pollard ran the
- 52:21Speaker 2: ball well. They can do that. They could They could
- 52:24Speaker 2: show us those things when they play Miami. You know,
- 52:26Speaker 2: they're obviously gonna be tested with speeds. We'll see what what,
- 52:30Speaker 2: you know, the cornerback situations look like there. I mean,
- 52:33Speaker 2: just just be a little bit more consistent than what
- 52:35Speaker 2: we've seen. But I mean it's hard to do that.
- 52:37Speaker 2: They've won five in a row. There's always things you
- 52:40Speaker 2: can improve them. That's what every coach in the world
- 52:42Speaker 2: will tell you. And so there are those things, and
- 52:45Speaker 2: they're gonna be tested by three teams that are also
- 52:47Speaker 2: fighting for playoff spot as well here in the next
- 52:49Speaker 2: three games. So it should be a lot of fun.
- 52:51Speaker 2: All right, no show tomorrow. We'll be back on Wednesday.
- 52:54Speaker 2: I appreciate all the calls today for Chris Beam. I'm
- 52:57Speaker 2: Nick Eatman. We will see on Wednesday on Cowboy Storyline.
- 53:00Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 53:03Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
