  Speaker 2: and this is Cowboys storyline. We're here to talk about it.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I'm Nick Eatman here Monday, October the thirtieth, and the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Cowboys are now five and two. They've won two straight
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: games after beating the after losing to the forty nine Ers.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: The forty nine ers have lost three straight. What's going
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: on in this NFL world? Crazy stuff, Crazy stuff all
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the way around all you know, just look at the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: scores yesterday, Chiefs losing to the Broncos for the first
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: time in like eighteen games or something like that, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of weird games happening around the Washington and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Philly went back and forth. You know, it was a
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: big one for the Eagles. Obviously, we're gonna talk about
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the Eagles game coming up this week, but but the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Cowboys took care of business at home. That's the one
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we'll obviously be focusing on at and T Stadium for
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the eleventh straight win at home. Pretty impressive there for
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys to take care of business at home and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: for the that crowd to be you know, to have
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a home home field advantage really if you will, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and that's what it's become. And it hasn't always been
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the case at at and T Stadium. Let's be honest
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: about that. It hasn't been that way all the time.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: But it feels like that now noon game, noon game
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: against the Rams. Weather's not great, coldest you know day
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that it's been in a while. Maybe people are gonna
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: come in late. Those towels were flying right at kickoff.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It was a lot of people in the stands there
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: for a noon game. So the give credit to the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to the home crowd, big big win for the Cowboys.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Dak Prescott played a great game. Ceedee Lamb just lights out.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ceedee Lamb is showing why he is a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: true number one. And the priest d just keeps going
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: up and up for him. But that's okay because he's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: he's he's earning the big contract that he will get.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Speaking of that, Michael Parsons does his thing on the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: other side, and then Darn Bland, I mean, what can
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you say, Deron Bland, he's got three touchdowns this year.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of great players in the NFL that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: don't have three touchdowns. He is just playing lights out
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and he is, uh, he's he's looking like a Pro
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Bowl cornerback, right, I mean, what else can you say?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: No player in the history of the Cowboys has had
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: three interceptions for touchdowns in a season. Only twenty nine
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: guys in the league have ever done it. Only three
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: people have done it four times. And uh, he's got
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: ten games to do that. So big, big time effort
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: there for darn Blain. All Right, we're gonna talk about
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: all this stuff. Eight eight eight eight five five two
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: two nine, And we got two callers on the line,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: so let's go right to it. Joe and Stanford. You're
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you're back to the lead off position again. You're starting
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: us off.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Joe.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I had to get there today, brother. Hey,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: noon game at home. I bet your family was happy
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to see you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, definitely good. Oh maybe not in the morning
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to leave that early, but yeah, yeah, it's always nice
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to walk out of the stadium in daylight. You know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it doesn't happen very often. And this is it won't
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: happen again after I guess the Daylight Savings is this week.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was a good, good, good game to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: start things off, and the Cowboys did their part.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt. You know, I called a couple of
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: weeks ago and I was you know, I didn't just
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: completely disstact, but I was pretty distressed about him and
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: very unsure, I got to say. After those two sacks,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, what is happening? And
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: then Dak did what I wasn't sure he could do.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: He took his team on his shoulders and he made
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the plays to get this team over the and then
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: kick their butt the rest of the game. It was outstanding.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I could talk about a lot of things, but the
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: biggest thing we saw was Dak Prescott being a guy
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: who can win games for the Dallas Cowboys.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: He certainly could and did in that game for sure.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the call, Joe, all right, unless you
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: had another quote, I think I think that's it. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: like it a good way to start us off, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And that's that's what That's what he did. And you
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: know a lot of times fan bases, media whatever it
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: seems like when when it's a win like this, then
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it's not a big game. You know, if it was
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a loss, then it was like, what's going on? Obviously,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you know, it's almost like that's what people expect to happen.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: But you know, I thought I thought it was a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: big game. I mean, I think they're all gonna be
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: big at this point. You know. It's when you lose
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to the Cardinals like they did, I think it should
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: put on everyone's radar what this team can do. You know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we haven't seen then beat a really good team that's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: not the I mean, I mean, who's a good team.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I don't even know. I mean, the Niners are struggling
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: right now. But but but even you know, on their schedule,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Chargers look pretty good. I guess the Jets, uh,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you know, the Jets, Chargers and the Rams are all
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: gonna be kind of competitive there. They're gonna be there
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: at the end. But you know, we haven't really seen it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: We're gonna see it this week. Cowboys are gonna you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: face the Eagles, and they they their record says that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: they are the best in the league. We'll see if
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they are over over time. But but no, I think
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Dak went out. It was a big game yesterday that
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: if they're gonna be the type of team that they
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: want to be, you got to take care of the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: teams like the Rams. And they did. And it didn't
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: start off well. A couple of sacks early, and you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Zach Martin had some issues with with Aaron Donald, who
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't but you know, they they cleaned it up and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: they they in Dac did his did his thing. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: think I think he's just playing, like we said, he's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: just playing with instincts, playing like a football player. All right,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Rosa in Springfield, Virginia, your next Roz And what's up?
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: What's up? Hey man?
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: How are you good?
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Good? Good man?
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: It was a great win yesterday. Loved it, enjoyed it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: I had a feeling we're going to have a blowout.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: I just we just do good with like qbs that
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: aren't as mobile, you usually dominate them. Just got a
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: couple of points and then one question for you. You
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: know a lot of a lot of because the trade
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: deadline's approaching, a lot of fans, you know, they want
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Jerry to be aggressive. I really like Jerry as a GM.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: I'm one of those fans that I thinks he's a
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: good GM. Our team's always competitive. He always has the pieces.
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: We just I don't know, some how can't get.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Over the hump.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Who knows, But he always has a team that's competitive.
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: And like one thing about Garry that fans need to realize,
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: he's not going to get fired. So these other gms
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: like how He and stuff, they have bosses, so they
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: have to be you know, aggressive, make moves. Jerry, he's
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: going to be here. He's thinking long haul because he's
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: going to be here. So that's why, I mean, I
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: know fans, that's why. Just the only minor thing about
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Jerry where he's not always that aggressive, but he's always going.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: To be here.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: He always have a competitive team, so yeah, you know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: And then if I had a trade deadline, wish it'd
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: be two first round picks to get number ninety nine
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: from yesterday, But I know it's not going to happen.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: That's just my wish.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: And then my one.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: Question for you, and I'll listen, is how would you
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: stop the push?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Push?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: All right, say awesome, good good stuff, Thanks for the call. Yeah,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I think Jerry is aggressive. I think I think he's
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: he's probably the most aggressive one over there with Steven
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: will McCarthy. I think Jerry is probably he's pretty aggressive,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and I think he wants to make moves. I think
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: they do look at it long term. And you're right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you when you know you're not getting fired,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I mean the pressure to if things don't work out,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it's just oh, okay, you know, doesn't work out and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: then and people will talk about it until the next
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: big move and then they'll kind of maybe forget it
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: or write it down or whatever. But you're right, it
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: doesn't affect things. Sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's bad, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: but you know, sometimes that's actually a good thing. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: don't know about the you know, trade deadline coming up.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see if the Cowboys decide to do
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: something again, we're I can talk specific players that are
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: on other other teams. I don't think to first for
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: anybody is going to happen. And I don't know if
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that that's actually I don't think this team needs to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: do that. This team needs needs their draft picks now.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna have to be somebody that really really
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: fits what they're doing. Uh, if they're if they're going
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to make a move, because they've already lost their fourth, fifth,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and sixth picks for next year. They'll probably get a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: couple of picks, maybe in the fifth or sixth round,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: compensatory for Schultz and McGovern. But uh, nothing too too
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: great there. Uh And then how would I stop the
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: tush push? Well, I would if I'm the NFL, I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: get rid of it. I mean that's what I would do.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, I if I'm the NFL, I ban the
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: play and what And I think how you do it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: is you say, if you're if you line up in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the backfield, you you won't. You can't push people forward.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's hypocritical for what the league does. Honestly,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: when you think about it, you can't. You can't jump
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: on a player to block a field goal. That's called leveraging, right,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: it's fifteen yard penalty. You can't use another player to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: be taller. What are you just gonna get on someone's
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: shoulders and block a kick? I mean, like you can't
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: do that then, so why should you be able to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: use other people's strength to move you? I mean, it
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. I saw I heard forward progress stop
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: twice in the game. They mentioned it there, but yet
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: for some reason, it doesn't matter when you're you've got
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: six guys pushing. I just think it goes against what
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the league is trying to do. You can't use other
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: players to benefit. What are you going to just I mean,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: can you pick people up in basketball and let them dunk?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, like it doesn't make sense, So I would
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: get rid of the play. I mean it. I I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: a big fan of the pushing. That's just all right,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: whose offensive lineman is stronger than the rest, so they
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: can just you know, push six guys forward. The defense
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: certainly can't do that. But for this year, because because
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: it is going to be in the in play, I
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: don't know what you can do. I really, I mean
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: there's really not much you can do on this. It's
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: just about being being strong. And now you're seeing now
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the Eagles of already like you put too many guys
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: in there. Then they'll run a play out of it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: So I have a feeling that the Competition Committee will
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: probably change it. But as for this year, stay out
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: a third and one, fourth and one because it's don't
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: expect it to get I mean, it's it's tough. And
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: also Jason Kelsey, the center is better than most centers.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: So that's where it starts. I mean it starts there.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And then of course Jalen Hurts is a big, strong
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: running back type of player, so you had that combination.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It's working better for them than it works for a
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: lot of other teams. All right, Runnie in New Jersey
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: is next, Ronnie? What's up?
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: Good morning?
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: Nick?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: How you doing good? How are you doing? Sorry? I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: was reading reading a message here. Yeah, I'm doing good.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: How's it going?
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: It's good? Great? Actually, I Nick. The one thing I
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: loved about this game, Dad played how we always wanted
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: wanted him to play, Like Dak was actually moving around
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: in the pocket. He was scrambling out. Yeah he wasn't
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: running for yards or anything like that. But when I
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: think what how he played just moving around was great.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: His accuracy this, I mean this game he was. He
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: was on point in this game. And I loved it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: We all, I mean, I'm pretty sure all fans we
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: loved it. So I would like to see if they
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: just keep on doing exactly how they did in this game.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: They they they all the movement with the wide receivers.
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: That's what we've been calling for, Like, that's why I
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: think so many fans we've been disappointed in some of
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: the games before because we know we have the time,
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: have the skill. Now with the coach and just doing
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: what they need to do. I think this team is
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: gonna do a lot better now. The touch, push h Nick.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: I think the one way you could stop this, pull
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: Hankins right over Chelsea, blow him up, pull Hankins. Put
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: those big defensive tackles that we have Gallimore in our
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: first round pick, blind those three guys up right in
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: the middle and and gold Man for men. See how
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: how that play is gonna work out for them. I
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: think we could if we give it some pushback that
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: they're gonna stop that play against that's for sure, but
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: a great win. I hope we bring it for Philadelphia.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: I think this is gonna be the biggest matchup of
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: the year so far after the forty nine Ers game.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: But this is gonna be the real matchup. Thanks, thank you.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: You know I did see the forty nine Ers a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. I think they're playing the Vikings.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I saw Fred Warner just fly over the top for
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: uh for that play and actually stop Cousin on the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: on the push. Then again. I mean, Jayleen Jalen Hurts
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: does it better than others. I mean, it's just it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: it's just different. Now if I'm the Cowboys on offense,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna run it, I mean, I don't understand.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: This is what I don't understand. You're not fooling anybody
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: on what you're trying to do. So why not put
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: guys in the backfield that that have more strength. I mean,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you don't have to just put the running back and
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the tight end or two running backs back there. I mean,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: just put the biggest strongest guy you have. Just put
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Mozzi Smith in the game for that reason. I mean, what,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: who are you fooling? I mean, this is what we're doing.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Stop it. I mean, that's that's kind of the way
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I would look at it. But it's a it's a
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: unique play in it and it's and it's definitely changing.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And see we're seeing teams copy it and now and
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: now run plays off of it as well. Go back
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: to what you said about Dak. You said Dak didn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: run for a lot of yards. Well, I'll tell you
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: what he did. It was fourth four carries for nineteen yards.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: You just look at the stats and you think, Okay,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that's not a big deal. But there was two plays
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: in the game. One of it was third and two
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: and he got to Another time was third and eleven
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: he got twelve. So fourteen yards right there out of
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: his nineteen were on third and third down plays. One
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: was third and long. He's scrambled and got it. Another
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: time he went around the left side also got it,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and the Cowboys were able to get a touchdown and
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a field goal on those two drives. So that's ten
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: points right there on fourteen yards. That is a big deal.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Ten points is a big deal in any on any game.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: And so I think that his runs are calculated and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: when it's time to make a move, he's done that
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and it has helped his team win games and helped
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: him score and that's a big deal. So I wouldn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: discount the yard. It's the timing of it. And yesterday
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: he did a really really good job with that. All right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: let's go to Brian in Kansas City. Brian is next.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: What's up? Brian?
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Nick, Good morning.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: How's it going there? And I'm sure Kansas City is
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: not feeling so great about your team right now? That's yeah, weird, weirdly.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Original games, man, the original games.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I agree. I agree. Washington is not anywhere close to
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia talent wise, but they know how to play the Eagles.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: They just do and that and that's a you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: they haven't won this year, but but same with Denver
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: and Kansas City.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: You're right, yeah, absolutely. Hey, you know, one of the
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: things I noticed yesterday is and I know you were
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: a big fan of this game, so you tell me
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: if you agree, this reminded me of the game opening
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: day two years ago against the Bucks. It looked like
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: that kind of offense, you know that not a lot
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: of running, spread the ball around, you know, remember they
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: if you remember they were without Zach Martin that day.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Are you talking about at at Tampa?
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Was that three years ago? Maybe?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Well you said that. My first thought was the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: game I guess to start twenty twenty two, and they
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: scored three points, so at home, that's what I was thinking.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I was like, wait, we had a forty point difference here.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the game, yes, that they lost at Tampa. Yeah,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that was the start of twenty twenty one, So you're
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: right two years ago and yeah, twenty nine that they
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: lost like thirty one twenty nine. So yeah, very very
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: similar offense because most things were on the outside, very
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: little running.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: You're right, yeah, and then you know the other thing
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: I wondered, I don't know if you're an All twenty
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: two guy or not, but if you have an opinion,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: you know, for just watching the broadcast, I didn't see
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Awesome Richards having besides having the greatest name for football
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: next to Golden Richards, of course, but.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: I didn't see.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Anything just watching the broadcast, any big, huge busts where
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: he looked like he was the weakness in the in
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: the in the line. But if you had an opinion,
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: then I'll hang up and listen to what you have
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: to say.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Boll appreciate it, man, good, thanks for the call. Didn't
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: did not see the All twenty two? Yeah, in fact,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I don't. I thought it comes out a little later
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: in the week, maybe not on Monday, but I haven't
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: seen that, not even really didn't go back and watched
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Awesome Richards. I think I think he's a guy that
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: needs needs reps and and they're okay giving it to him. So, uh,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Tyron Smith, from my understanding, could have played in the game.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I wanted to play in the game, but they decided
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to hold him out. That makes me think he should
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: be ready for the next week. And then if that's
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the case with the Chimney dooga with an ankle sprain,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: not a high ankle sprain, just low ankle sprain, which
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: means you know, a week or two. If that, I
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: mean Cavante Turpin had us sprained ankle and came back
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the next week. So who knows, who knows what Every
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: injury is different, but you know it didn't look like
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Chimmydoga is gonna be back in a week. He got
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: carted off, I think afterwards. So if he's out for
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit and Tyron Smith is back, I could
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: see Awesome Richards being your your swing tackle if not,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: If Tyron is not back, then they might need to
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: make some decisions and figure out what what's their best
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: option is. Is Awesome Richard's a better left tackle than TJ.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Bass Is at guard, which means Tyler Smith might move back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think they want to move Tyler Smith right now,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: so I would I would imagine Austin Richards would start
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: at left tackle if that's the case, But I think
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: they're hoping that Tyron Smith should be able to come back.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go do Mark and Florida. Mark is next, Mark,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: what's up?
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: Nick? Howai and my friend good fdyesterday. You know it's
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: all rainbows and lollipops. But I got to tell you,
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: I'm still very concerned about this team. Okay, to me,
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: we're seven games in and I don't see a running game.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: I don't see that fourth quarter, that four minute offense
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: that they call for right to put games away. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: just haven't seen it. And I'm concerned that. I just
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: don't think you could throw your way through this whole season.
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: So just sports on our running game.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know they haven't had to do that yet.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: They will. I mean games, games are gonna be that way.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: At least, gonna get tighter, it's gonna get colder, it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: gonna be tougher to throw. There are gonna be games
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: like that. They haven't had that game yet. Because the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: game that was close against the Chargers, I mean they
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: were down, I mean they were the giver tied. They
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: drove down, ran the offense, got a touchdown. Gotta stop.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I drove down, kicked the field goal but
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: yet they weren't really in that mode. They haven't been
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: in that mode where it's like, all right, we got
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: to run the ball, get off the field and try
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to put this game away. They haven't had a game
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: like that. But I mean, if they're struggling running the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: ball when when you think it's fifty to fifty, you
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: know they're gonna struggle running the ball when it's you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: ninety ten on the percentage one, when everyone knows you're
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: gonna run, That's that's the issue. And so you're you're
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: not wrong there. They're having a really our time managing
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: that to the point where they're kind of getting away
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: from it, you know, and they're taking what's there. I
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: don't see teams just loading up to stop the run.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, so that's that's kind of the the problem
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: right now. So it's an issue, you know, And and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I I kind of think the Cowboys need to address this.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying go out and get the running back
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: everyone's asking for, but I think that when you're looking
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: at at Tony Pollard and his career and and and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: if he's been he hasn't been injury prone, but you
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: know he's taking a lot of hits right now, So
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: you know, I I think I would try to to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: to look to to maybe bolster that that room a
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: little bit more with with a veteran guy, Rico Daddle
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: has done a good job for what what they've they've
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: asked him to do. But I still think this position
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: is maybe lacking a little bit. But I think the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: offensive line and is not providing the holes for the
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: running game. That's that's the real thing. I don't think
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: it's really Tony Pollard as much or Rico. I think
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it starts with the line, and you know, if you
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: can bolster that, go ahead, But I don't. I don't know.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I think you might need to see a little bit
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: more help. There is one way or another in the
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: running game. All right, Kevin in Ashland, Virginia, you're next.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how's it going.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you?
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a first time I'm going good. Thank you,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: great first time caller, a longtime listener. I love the
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: show Man.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Appreciate that.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I think you were just talking about it. It was
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: a great game yesterday. But the only thing I think, uh,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: I just didn't see no run game going on and
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: I think at this point, I don't know if if
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: it's gonna if it's something to worry about in the future,
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: because you know, I mean with a great run game,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I feel like this team can do so much more.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to do get your opinion and what
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: do you think of it?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: What would you hold on Kevin? What would you What
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: do you think is the biggest issue?
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's offensive wine? Do you think it's
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Tony Pollard and is not getting it done? I mean,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: what what is the Because it's easier just to say, wow,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: this is the problem, but like specifically, what do you think.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I see? I can't just by looking at it. I
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: want to say, maybe maybe it's off as the line,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: but honestly, I just feel like comfortable having a bigger
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: back in the backfield to just share the ball with
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Tony Pollard. Maybe that will loosen up more. But that's
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: what I think. I know if people have different opinions,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: but yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: It's it's kind of a mystery. That's that's kind of
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the issue right now. Thank you for the call, Kevin,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: and you've put Virginia in the lead here when the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: states of our callers here we have two now from Virginia.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: So I always think that's interesting to see where our
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: calls come from. Last show we had last week, we
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: had one in Bahamas, France, and so we're all over
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: the globe here. But for the states, Virginia, Virginia's always
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: been always, always one of the top five or six
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: states when it comes to Cowboy fans. Just a lot there.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, I know a lot of them are
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: anti Washington fans and that's kind of you know, in
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the fan bases over there, probably split a lot, but
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: it's always been a ton of cowboy fans in Virginia.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: As for the call, you're you're right. I mean, it's
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: it's an offensive line is part of it. I mean,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: but you know, they they they struggled a little bit
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: in the past past block at first, and then they
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: kind of slowed things down. I mean, that got hit
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: a lot though yesterday I mean he did, he got
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: hit a lot, and that's a little bit concerning. And
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you know, you could say, well, they're playing against Aaron Donald,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: but it seems like every week it's gonna be something.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia has a wave of pass rushers and their defensive
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: front is nasty. They give up plays. I mean, they
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: give up yards, there's no doubt about it. But they're
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: gonna be bringing it. That's gonna be another big, big
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: challenge for this team. So they're gonna have to to
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: figure it out. But but the running game, I mean,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: there's no other ways to slice it. I mean every
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: caller is saying the same thing. You're not wrong. Yeah,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: good win, really really strong win for the team. But
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: but you know that the running game is got to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you gotta be balanced. You can't just sit there and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: say we're gonna throw the ball all over the yard
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: like that. You got to figure out a way to
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: be balanced. And you know they're trying different things like
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: like they know it's a problem. I mean, look at it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I mean last week Brandon Cooks had a couple of
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: runs around the edge. He had won in this game
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: for three yards, Ceedee Lamb had won for twelve yards.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I mean we're seeing a little bit of reverses here
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: and into rounds or whatever. I mean that they're trying
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: different things here to help move the football without just
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: throwing it and dropping back every single time. All right,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: let's go to another column before we go to break
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Bob in Rio Grand Valley. Bob is up?
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Burn?
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: And Nick?
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: How are you doing? Buddy good Man?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Great? It's kind of basking in a little globe, but
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to get go overboard with it. One
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: of the things I know this yesterday in the game
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: was and I think a real compliment needs to go
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: out to the Bones, Fossil and the special teams that
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: they played extraordinary yesterday. And in this thought about our
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: future and this year, of course, we all want to
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: get to the super Bowl, and I agree that a
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Bell Cow running back would probably be the thing that
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: would put us over the top for this year. But
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: trading away draft choices when we're looking at the future,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: particular of our offensive line where we're really gonna need
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: some help and come in years, it seems to me
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: like the best investment would be to try to find
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: a way to get somebody to help out with the
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: running game right now and maybe not go get one
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: of the one of these really top guys that's going
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: to cost us a high draft Choyce, what do you think, Well,
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: let me ask.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: You this, what would would you would you feel better
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: about it if they got a Leonard.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Fournette depends on depends on what it would cost us.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I mean that he's on the street here.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: Here's what I'm looking at. Okay, uh Tyrone uh uh,
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: I love the only uh And he's obviously at the
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: end of his career going to be pretty dark. Run
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: quick if he's not already, and he that that has
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: going to got to be addressed. And so uh if
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: we if we get a running back of the uh,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: this guy's caliber, and we can get him at the
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: right price, go for it, because it might be the
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: thing that would put us over the top this year.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, thanks for the call. I mean it's
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it's there's not a ton of options to go get
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: a running back. But I mean I think if the
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Cowboys wanted to go get a running back, they could
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: do that. They could go and trade for somebody and
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: it's not going to probably be not gonna be a lot.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you might lose your third round pick, you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: if that's that's a lot. But I'm just saying, but
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I think I would be okay with with doing something
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: like that because but I would want to get a
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: running back that that that I think I could have
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: for next year, because right now you really don't have
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: an option for that. So I would I would look
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: at a running back that you like, that that you
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: know you could be this year, learn the offense, plug
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: in here and there, and then also help you next
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: year or down the road. If that situation happened, I
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: would be I would be willing to look at that,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: you know, because you do need to look down the road.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I'll say this, I'm gonna disagree with you on the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Tyron Smith being a liability. I think I think his
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: inconsistency that hurts, Like his inconsistency in the lineup, it
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: definitely hurts. He's not a liability when he's out there, though,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I mean he I mean, yeah, he may, he may
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: give up a sack or two. I mean they're all
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: giving up some plays here and there. But when he plays,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: he's playing well. So I don't know if he's a liability.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I just think it's it's frustrating because he's not there
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: and available for you as much. All right, let's take
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: a quick break here on Cowboys storyline. Will be right back.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: We got more calls and more texts.
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: Cheatah Savannah Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought
• 28:51

  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline here. We got
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: a few more minutes here to talk about this Cowboys
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: win over the Rams forty three to twenty. I think
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: most people are excited about the game, and you know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: getting a win twenty three point win at home is big.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: They dominated the game really and all three phases where
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: it were complete. That's what's good about it. Special teams.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't mention that before on the last caller, but yeah,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: the special teams was big for this team. John Fossil
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: who coached for the Rams for eight years Saint Louis, La.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: He's been that organization for eight years and he I mean,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: yesterday was amazing when you think about what they did.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: They were Brandon Aubrey eighteen straight field goals, He's tied
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: at NFL record to start a career. That's amazing. One
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: of them was a fifty eight yarder. Sam Williams blocks
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: a punt for a safety. Cavante Turpin returns that for
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: sixty three yards on close to set up a touchdown.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Has another punt return that was called back for penalty,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: and I don't I think it was a good call.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: And I don't think he goes for a touchdown if
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: it's not a penalty. So but still, just the playmaking
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: ability for him to go and do that is big.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Sam Williams is a gunner. What never seen that. I've
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: never seen a linebacker do that here, unless unless I've
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: been missing somebody. But it reminds me of old Hollywood
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Henderson running down there. I mean that that was pretty impressive.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw in the fourth quarter
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: he did it twice. One of them made the tackle,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: just beats his guy off the line and runs down there.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: So impressive. But but but John Fossil and the special
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: teams has been outstanding and and you got to give
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: them credit. All right, let's go to Rob in Vegas. Rob.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Rob?
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: What's up? I'm good man? How are you?
• 32:55
  Speaker 14: I'm good?
• 32:55
  Speaker 13: Now?
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: Good Win. Uh, it's nice that Mike Mike McCarthy listens
• 33:01
  Speaker 14: to your show.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I doubt he does.
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: I doubt he does, because you know, this is kind
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: of what we talked about, you know, dumbing down the
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: offense for a quarterback, a top ten quarterback, I thought
• 33:14
  Speaker 14: was not a good move. You dumb it down for
• 33:16
  Speaker 14: the offense, you dumb it down for the defense. And
• 33:18
  Speaker 14: it's nice that in the you know, in the by
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: we asked him bring back some of the stuff that
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: Dak did good with when Kellen more was calling plays,
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: and I think they did that. Yeah, And I totally
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: agree with the running. I don't need Dak to be
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: a running quarterback, but I thought those were some of
• 33:37
  Speaker 14: the biggest plays. Is when he was running for first
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: downs and that's all you need. If you need five,
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: you need ten, and you could go get it, go
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: get it, extends the drive and good things happen.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: I thought that was one of the best games he's
• 33:51
  Speaker 14: played in his career. The way he he threw, he's
• 33:54
  Speaker 14: throwing the ball really good. You I always sometimes he
• 33:59
  Speaker 14: aims the ball. I thought he was doing that in
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: the beginning of his season, and now he's actually throwing it.
• 34:05
  Speaker 14: You could see how it comes off his hand.
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 34:08
  Speaker 14: I don't think we trade for a running back. You're
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: not going to get anybody better than what you got
• 34:13
  Speaker 14: now with Tony Pollard. But I do think right now
• 34:17
  Speaker 14: because probably because of the injury, he's not as explosive
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: ric o'dowdell actually looks more explosive. I think if they
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: give him some more carries, you know that that would help.
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: UH and UH trade deadline linebacker, wide receiver. If you
• 34:34
  Speaker 14: could get the defensive tackle from Washington, which you probably can't,
• 34:38
  Speaker 14: that would be great. And defensive back. I think if
• 34:42
  Speaker 14: if you could get another defensive back, the guy the
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: talker from Chicago, I'm not familiar with him, but I
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: keep hearing about him. I think I think they're good
• 34:50
  Speaker 14: as long as because offensive line, nobody's giving up offensive linemen.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be tough to get. Everybody needs lineman help.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I appreciate the call. Rob good stuff. You know,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Dak is throwing the ball better. And also you know
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: he did have that interception in the red zone that
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: was a that was not a good play call. It
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: made me do, it made me rank. I ranked the
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: eleven players on offense that are skilled players that you
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: would get the ball to. I just you know, I
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: just went down. There was like a CD you know, Pollard,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Cokes all that, and I had out of the eleven,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I had number nine, ten and eleven that on one
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: play on the interception. Those three guys, those are your
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: three not worst playmakers, but you know they're they're the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: least guys that are going to make these plays. Lipkey,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: McEwan and scoon Maker all in this little Texas triangle
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: across the middle of the field, and it's like, what
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: are they doing? And it got tipped and bad in
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the good throw knocked in their interception and was just like,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you know, you're just moving down the ball here with
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: with you know, with with Cooks and and CD and
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Collard and then you get down there and then you
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: try something, you know with Lipke going across the field
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: and all that, but you know, hey, that happens. That happens.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: You kind of get in the bag a little bit,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: like all right, we got this thing rolling and a
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: little bit of a reality check there. It's like, all right,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: let's get back to what we're doing here. We don't
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: have to get cute. I thought that was interesting. But yeah,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I think Dak Dak played played great. And you know,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: we've talked about the trade deadline. I can't wait for
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: a trade deadline to to to be you know, here
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: and gone. I think they should make a move. But
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's been so much talk about I don't
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: know what we're gonna talk about. I guess maybe a
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: divisional matchup with the Eagles. That would be interesting if
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: that happens. But yeah, that's that's kind of where where
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: we where we stand right now? We got a few
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: more minutes of the show. The phone lines are open
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And the Cowboys, I just you know, where where does
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: this team stand right now? Where do they stand? Five
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: and two? You know, you've got You've got a team
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: that's you know, I think that they're one of the
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: top teams. I really do. But it doesn't matter though
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: really right now. I mean, like you play who you play?
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, what what have we learned in the last
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: two to three weeks the whole NFL season is that
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: things things will change. Exactly what you think is going
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: on is not the way you know it's going to
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: be in three weeks or a month. Do I still
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: think the forty nine ers are in the league team? Yeah,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: you know, And it's kind of scary what's going on
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco if you if you're being honest about it,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: because of San Francisco really that good? What do they
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: have going on? Do they have injuries? Because if they're
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: really not that good, then it makes that loss even worse.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Just like the Arizona game. You know, you thought maybe
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: maybe Arizona's not bad. Well no, that's that's not the case.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: They seem to be pretty bad, but they beat you.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers haven't won a game since that
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: forty two to ten. So I get it. Matchups are different.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, one team can play this team tough and
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: then not. I mean, Cowboys beat the Jets by twenty
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the Jets go beat Philly. Does that mean the Cowboys
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: gonna bet Philly? You know, if they do, it won't
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: be because of that. It'll just be because they play better,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: you know, And they've been a good matchup when you
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: look at Philly and Dallas matching up. You know, last
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: year both teams won on at home against the backup quarterbacks.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: So the Eagles, it was a tough game. Cooper Rush
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: did his thing, but he had three interceptions in the game,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and the Eagles were better and they won the game,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: and they ran the ball when they really needed to
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: and won that game. Cowboys came back and played against
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew who had three hundred and fifty yards. I mean,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: so he had a great game. I mean, as Jalen
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Hurt's gonna play that much better than that. I mean,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but the Cowboys won that game and
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: it was a really good one. So now this should
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: be a good matchup. First time we really get to
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: see in I guess a couple of years Hurts and
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Dak playing against each other. So it should be a
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: real good one. All right, let's go to the calls here,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Nick in Austin, Nick is next. What's up?
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: Nick? Hey, buddy, I got back in long time, no
• 39:11
  Speaker 13: talk to I got three days one offensive, defensive, special teams.
• 39:18
  Speaker 13: On offense, people will keep talking about running back, and
• 39:22
  Speaker 13: I think you're right. If they want to do anything,
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: I think Leonard Fournett would be the cheapest best way
• 39:27
  Speaker 13: to go if they don't. If they don't want to
• 39:30
  Speaker 13: do anything, then I would love to see hundred lifty
• 39:32
  Speaker 13: because he's a big back like they're talking about, and
• 39:36
  Speaker 13: the guy catches everything.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:40
  Speaker 13: And then with defense, I think I don't know, I
• 39:44
  Speaker 13: know you've seen it, but like our rush as far
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: as pressure has been good, but we haven't been getting
• 39:49
  Speaker 13: sacks and that kind of concerns me a little bit
• 39:54
  Speaker 13: for the simple fact with this quarterback, he's very mobile
• 39:58
  Speaker 13: and if you don't can ain't that middle you get
• 40:01
  Speaker 13: to give him any space he's gone.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: And then uh with the special team, this is my
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: question with uh uh oh guy, my brain parted our.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: Returner, Uh Turpin Turpin?
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: Do you think he's gonna make the Pro Bowl?
• 40:21
  Speaker 13: And I'll hang up and listen.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Probably not because he made it last year, So I
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't imagine. That's not one of
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: those things where you know you have to you get
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: it every year. I mean, you know he has to
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: make he has to make some some big plays and
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: he's had some, but they've been called back. So uh,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: you know he had the one yesterday. I'm trying to
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: see where did that. I guess they put that as
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: a kickoff return, so that that's that's good for him.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: I mean I was always curious on where where that
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: that actual stat would would go for a return on
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: a safety. But no, I mean he might make it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I mean he's gonna have to make some He probably
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: haves to score a touchdown. And and do it in
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: a in a big game. I don't. I can't tell you.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of other returners doing things though,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: so you know, it's it's kind of gone away. I
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: mean it's almost like fullback if I mean, there's not
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: many people out there that are that are, you know,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: making a difference there. So you know, who knows he
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: did it last year? Maybe he does, maybe he does
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: come back. But yeah, I think I think they you know,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be a big test this week for this defense.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I mean they they're putting pressure on there Micah Parsons.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: You know, like you can see the rams a couple
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: of times, a couple of times more than that where
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: the guard and tackle we're going. You know, we're really
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: just straight double team. This wasn't like a tight end
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: chipping and helping or running back his guard and tackle
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: going up against Michaeh Parsons. So you know, that should
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: open up some things for some other guys. It's good
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: to see Dorn's armstrong getting there and get a sack.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: He's been kind of quiet lately. So but one of
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: the other callers said, you know, cowboys do well against
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks that aren't as mobile, and you know this is
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: this is what we'll see uh this week. You know,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is certainly mobile and is able to move around.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: And I think this is a really big game though,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: for for Michaeh Parsons, because you know, the Eagles have
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: done a really good job against him. They've been able
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: to slow him down, neutralize him, and and the read
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: option is one of the reasons that that kind of
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: does that. One thing that I'm seeing a lot more
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: is Parsons rushing from the middle, and that could change
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: things a little bit with the read option, might give
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: the ball up a little bit more to the running
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: backs if Parsons is right there in the middle, or
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: he might keep it, you know, he might he might
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: try to go to the outside, depending on where Parsons is,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: but he needs to keep doing what he's doing and
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: going all over the place. All right, Let's go to
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: the next caller, Pete in Connecticut. Pete, are you there, yes, sir?
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: How are you today?
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Good? How are you doing?
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: Dude?
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: How about them cowboys?
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: How about them?
• 43:03
  Speaker 15: How about I just wanted to say, I'm really happy
• 43:07
  Speaker 15: Sam Williams Guston playing times. I think he's going to
• 43:10
  Speaker 15: be a different maker the more you let him on
• 43:12
  Speaker 15: the field. And then one other quick thing I just
• 43:15
  Speaker 15: want to say, is there anybody in the trade deadline
• 43:17
  Speaker 15: we can.
• 43:18
  Speaker 14: Get for left tackle?
• 43:19
  Speaker 15: Thank you so much for taking Mike.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Thank you. It's not going to be anybody that you.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, unless they decide that they want to trade
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: for somebody that is, you know, going to be here
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: for a while, and unless you're probably giving up something
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: pretty good. I just can't who wants to get rid
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: of tackles? I mean, it just doesn't happen, all right,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Pete, you know so, But I
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: honestly think that the offensive lineman and trade deadline just
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: I don't see it happening. I really, I really don't.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Unless it's a guy out there that, you know, maybe
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: his last year of his deal, and and and they
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: don't think they teams don't think they can get you know,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to resign them, and the season
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: is not going well. I mean, it could happen, but
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: you're probably gonna have to give something up for it,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: just like you would anybody. You might have to give
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: more up for the offensive lineman than almost any other
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: position other than quarterback. But but so yeah, I definitely
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: think that that's that's something that they're gonna be looking
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: all over the place here to see just just what
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: they can do to fill fill the gaps here. As
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: for Sam Williams, yeah, I mean, he wants to get
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: more playing time on defense, but he's been out there.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: He got to do some things. But you know, his thing,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: he's got to cut down on his penalties, and he
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: gets a lot of penalties for the amount of time
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: he's out there, so he's got to He's got to
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: make sure and help his own cause when he's out
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: there and doing things. But you know, to block a
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: punt on special teams, I mean think about you know,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: this team, they've got the two games in a row
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: against the Rams, they've blocked a punt. Both of them
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: were defensive ends. And I mean Sam Williams last game
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: and then last year was Dorren's Armstrong blocking a punt.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Just the athletic ability of these defensive ends to do that,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: and then for Sam Williams to play gunner. Like I said,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: that's just that's insane, all right. Ricardo and Minnesota your
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: next probably our last caller today.
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: Ricardo Ricardo from mont Lake, Minnesota.
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: All right, question for you, Nick, what is the biggest
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: player matchup or matchups.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: That we need to win to to be Philly this Sunday?
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: All right, already there we're going into matchups Cowboys and Eagles.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call. Uh, I can't tell you that
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I've that I'm you know, diving in just yet to
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: to the matchups of the game. We kind of look
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: backwards on Monday for the for this one. But you know,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Philly doesn't sneak up on anybody. I mean you kind
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: of know them and you see them twice a year,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: and and they're all over you know TV on you know,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: they play primetime games, and so we've watched them.
• 45:58
  Speaker 15: You know.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's the fact that they've
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: got two really good wide receivers, I mean, really good
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: first round pick guys in Devonte Smith and then of
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: course AJ Brown, who's just he's just a beast. He's
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: bigger than some tight ends. I mean, he's just he's
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: really gonna be a tough matchup for anybody. But it's
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: but what makes them so good is that you know
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: who's got Davonte Smith? I mean, so it's you can't
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: just try to double teams and so that right there,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: that's the first thing that pops out to me. Like
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: I said earlier, Michael Parsons, is that they have to
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: figure out ways for Michael Parsons to be uh, you know,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: a big factor in the game. But you know the
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Eagles are you know, Eagles got to stop ceedee lamb.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I mean the Eagle Eagles have some issues too that
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have to to to stop this offense. So
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be really it's gonna be a fun matchup,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: I think. But to me when I when I look
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: at him, I think the Cowboys and the secondary And
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: this is the game when when Trayvon Diggs got hurt,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: I looked at games like the forty nine Ers and Philly,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: of you might be able to get by some of
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: these other teams. When you go up against teams that
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: have loaded themselves up with weapons like these two have,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: especially Philly, this is where it's gonna be tough. I mean,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: as great as the Ron Bland is playing and Stefan
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Gilmour is doing a really nice job as well, but
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: this is where I think losing Trayvon Diggs is probably
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: gonna hurt him the most, so, but we'll see, we'll
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: see how they step up. It's gonna be a big
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: one for you know, Jordan Lewis is gonna have to
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: get in there and do his thing. So those those
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: corners and safeties will be tested for sure. All right,
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: But we'll talk about that all week long. This has
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: been a fun one here. Cowboys defeat the Rams forty
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: three to twenty. They are at five and two, so
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about that moving forward, where they kind of
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: stand in the rest of the league, and we'll talk
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: about more big picture of things tomorrow and of course
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: getting ready for the Eagles on Sunday. For Chris be
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: I'm Nick Eatman. We will see you tomorrow on Cowboys
• 47:58
