- 0:09Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 4: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline Friday, September the twentieth,
- 0:26Speaker 4: and it is time to wrap up this week of talk.
- 0:29Speaker 4: So put the Saints game firmly to bed and move
- 0:33Speaker 4: on to the Ravens. Obviously, that's something we've been trying
- 0:37Speaker 4: to do all week long, but it's finally here, finally
- 0:40Speaker 4: get a chance to talk about a game coming up
- 0:43Speaker 4: on Sunday and the Ravens and coming to town. We
- 0:46Speaker 4: we we've been, you know, discussing how important this game
- 0:49Speaker 4: is and what it means.
- 0:51Speaker 5: But the Cowboys need to get get.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Rid of that bad taste in their mouth from last
- 0:54Speaker 4: week and and you know, try to flush it clean
- 0:58Speaker 4: against the Against the Ravens, it's gonna be fun. Obviously,
- 1:02Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson coming to town, Derrick Henry, and then they've
- 1:05Speaker 4: got some other weapons as well, you know that on
- 1:08Speaker 4: that offense, and their defense is pretty nasty as well.
- 1:10Speaker 4: John Harbaugh has been the coach there forever and he
- 1:13Speaker 4: was a former special teams coach of their special teams
- 1:15Speaker 4: is always pretty good, so they're they're built the right way.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Their record doesn't look so right now, but I still
- 1:22Speaker 4: think everybody believes this is going to be a very,
- 1:25Speaker 4: very tough matchup for the Cowboys, and we'll see how
- 1:28Speaker 4: tough of a matchup it is for the Ravens as well.
- 1:31Speaker 4: All right, eight eight eight eight five five two two
- 1:33Speaker 4: ninety seven. We'll take calls, we'll take some text messages
- 1:36Speaker 4: as well, but let's get us started with Michael and Colton, California. Michael,
- 1:41Speaker 4: your first.
- 1:43Speaker 6: Hey, what's going on?
- 1:44Speaker 7: Nick? Good morning? Shut up to the whole Cowboys nation.
- 1:47Speaker 7: Happy Friday, everybody. Hey, Nick, I'm I'm asking for a
- 1:51Speaker 7: friend of a friend right by chance, is there a
- 1:54Speaker 7: certain seventh round defensive tackle they might be able to
- 1:58Speaker 7: help out our stopping? But and also I just wanted
- 2:04Speaker 7: to ask if if this, if this run game continues,
- 2:09Speaker 7: excuse me, this run defense continues the way it does,
- 2:12Speaker 7: do you see a certain like a Mari Cooper situation
- 2:16Speaker 7: where they can they could possibly trade for like a
- 2:20Speaker 7: game changer that can actually help us. And also for
- 2:24Speaker 7: my score prediction, I would like to go fourteen twenty
- 2:28Speaker 7: eight Ravens winning.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Okay, thank you very much. All Right, all right, Mike,
- 2:34Speaker 5: go to start us off there.
- 2:37Speaker 4: Everybody's along excited or shout out to Cowboy Nation and
- 2:40Speaker 4: twenty eight fourteen Ravens.
- 2:42Speaker 5: Like Okay, I mean, and that's great. I mean, that's
- 2:45Speaker 5: your opinion.
- 2:46Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I'm not going to disagree with you,
- 2:49Speaker 4: but I mean, you know, usually your your leadoff hitter
- 2:52Speaker 4: is gonna gonna provide a little bit more excitement there
- 2:55Speaker 4: for the fans. But hey, Michael, uh, that's how you
- 2:57Speaker 4: see it. Running back. You're asking about the running back.
- 3:01Speaker 4: You know, where they go and make a trade for back.
- 3:06Speaker 4: I don't know if it would be in the same
- 3:07Speaker 4: type of a Marii Cooper type of trade where you
- 3:09Speaker 4: you know, you're losing a first round pick, and I
- 3:13Speaker 4: would not see that happening, but yeah, yeah, you you
- 3:17Speaker 4: certainly could. I mean, we'll see how this this game goes.
- 3:20Speaker 4: They're trying different things, but we'll we'll see how how
- 3:23Speaker 4: it goes into these next I would say game or two.
- 3:26Speaker 5: Uh, and maybe maybe they do that route.
- 3:28Speaker 4: But if they're gonna make a trade for somebody, it's
- 3:31Speaker 4: gonna have to be a situation like the thing that
- 3:34Speaker 4: made the Cooper when make sense to them is that
- 3:37Speaker 4: he was younger, and you know that they thought they
- 3:40Speaker 4: were gonna have him for a few years.
- 3:42Speaker 5: Obviously, you know they had him for like four years.
- 3:46Speaker 4: But you know, it'll be it would have to be
- 3:48Speaker 4: somebody if you're gonna if you're gonna have a high
- 3:51Speaker 4: you know, draft pick for somebody, Uh, then then certainly
- 3:54Speaker 4: you would need to you would need to have get
- 3:58Speaker 4: somebody in here that that's gonna be for more than
- 4:00Speaker 4: just one year. It's not just gonna be a rental
- 4:02Speaker 4: uh in there. He's obviously making a reference to Justin
- 4:05Speaker 4: Rodgers defensive tackle. I don't know where if he's still
- 4:08Speaker 4: in the Bengals practice squad or not, but you know
- 4:10Speaker 4: that he had chances to make the team and they
- 4:12Speaker 4: didn't think he was the answer either. So all right,
- 4:15Speaker 4: all right, eight eight, eight, eight five five two two
- 4:18Speaker 4: nine seven is the number to call. You can text
- 4:20Speaker 4: us at eight one seven two nine zero three two
- 4:24Speaker 4: nine eight. The phone lines are both open right now.
- 4:28Speaker 4: So a couple of things. We can just continue to
- 4:32Speaker 4: talk about the game and some injuries and situations that
- 4:36Speaker 4: that you know, to keep an eye on.
- 4:38Speaker 8: Uh.
- 4:38Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Uh, the knee injury for him, he's getting he was
- 4:43Speaker 4: limited in practice here the last couple of days, so
- 4:46Speaker 4: that that's that's getting better. It's getting better. He'll get
- 4:49Speaker 4: he'll get a chance to do some things uh today
- 4:51Speaker 4: at practice. And then the big, the big one for
- 4:55Speaker 4: for him to play, you know, would be what he
- 4:57Speaker 4: can do on Saturday if he can get out there
- 4:59Speaker 4: and and he's been wearing a knee brace, if he
- 5:02Speaker 4: can get that knee brace, you know, I mean, he
- 5:05Speaker 4: can still play with that, but but you know, it'll
- 5:08Speaker 4: see how much that's limiting him. I think they need him.
- 5:11Speaker 4: I mean, I liked what Luke Schoonmaker did on the
- 5:14Speaker 4: field the other day, you know, but there was really
- 5:17Speaker 4: more of a second tight end role. Uh. He he
- 5:20Speaker 4: caught every pass thrown his way, six six targets, six catches.
- 5:23Speaker 4: One of them was a really nice one handed snag
- 5:25Speaker 4: over the middle. And but from a juice standpoint, it's
- 5:29Speaker 4: not the same as as Ferguson. I think we all
- 5:32Speaker 4: can see that. And I think the role that he
- 5:35Speaker 4: gives the Cowboys as the number two uh is is
- 5:39Speaker 4: I mean, that's the type of player, you know, big, strong, blocker,
- 5:44Speaker 4: catch the ball underneath, get a first down, make some
- 5:47Speaker 4: plays while your number one guy is weaving down the
- 5:50Speaker 4: field and and and and making some some nice catches
- 5:53Speaker 4: and doing that that kind of stuff. So that's you
- 5:56Speaker 4: know that, that's kind of what I'm what I'm looking
- 5:58Speaker 4: for as a one two punch there. Uh at tide end?
- 6:03Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's go to uh, let's go to
- 6:05Speaker 4: our next call. We got cowboy Joe in Maryland. Cowboy Joe.
- 6:12Speaker 9: More, mister EMANU is Jeff Cowboy Jeff.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Sorry about that, sir.
- 6:19Speaker 9: I got an idea, and I'm pretty confident you're gonna
- 6:22Speaker 9: like it. All right, let's break out the old flea
- 6:28Speaker 9: flick flicker this game?
- 6:30Speaker 5: You think, so flea flicker?
- 6:33Speaker 9: Yeah, because they are bound and determined to stop the run.
- 6:39Speaker 9: The Ravens are and we are bound and determined to
- 6:42Speaker 9: run it.
- 6:43Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:44Speaker 9: Maybe maybe not.
- 6:46Speaker 4: Well, I here's the thing about the flea flicker. You
- 6:50Speaker 4: want the safety to come down and and and try
- 6:52Speaker 4: to stop the run, like.
- 6:54Speaker 9: Right, And that's that secondary is not that great.
- 6:57Speaker 4: No, I get it, but but it because they're not
- 7:00Speaker 4: that great. I would worry about Brandon Cooks and CD
- 7:03Speaker 4: and I would worry about that. I would think the
- 7:06Speaker 4: Ravens front seven can stop the Cowboys running game right
- 7:09Speaker 4: now without a lot of help, without a lot of
- 7:11Speaker 4: players cheating up doing that kind of stuff. That's that's
- 7:14Speaker 4: you got to be able to run the ball to
- 7:16Speaker 4: really really, you know, make a flee flicker work.
- 7:20Speaker 5: And I'm I don't know right now if.
- 7:21Speaker 4: This is the time because I couldn't see Kyle Hamilton
- 7:25Speaker 4: or for their safety for the Ravens, like really worried about,
- 7:29Speaker 4: Oh my god, they're about to run the ball to
- 7:30Speaker 4: this guy and then flee flicker. I'd stay back until
- 7:34Speaker 4: until it's until you can prove that the Cowboys running
- 7:37Speaker 4: game is gonna get ten fifteen yards. I mean their
- 7:40Speaker 4: biggest run is eight yards, you know, in the last game,
- 7:44Speaker 4: and I think.
- 7:44Speaker 9: The week before I predict we will definitely run the
- 7:48Speaker 9: ball better. All right, Cowboys are going to win this.
- 7:50Speaker 10: Game, all right?
- 7:51Speaker 5: Well then that's that's that's where it starts.
- 7:53Speaker 4: If they can run the ball better, get it going,
- 7:55Speaker 4: get it going that way, that's where you can pop
- 7:57Speaker 4: the flee flicker. But and you know, I'm all for it.
- 8:01Speaker 4: I mean I would run it all the time. But
- 8:02Speaker 4: if you haven't done it ever since you've taken over
- 8:06Speaker 4: as the offense of coordinator and you know the new system.
- 8:10Speaker 4: I don't know if this is the week to bring
- 8:12Speaker 4: it out, but hey, i'd all I'd.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Be for it.
- 8:15Speaker 4: I mean, that's one of one of my favorite players
- 8:17Speaker 4: in all football. We all know that. So all right,
- 8:21Speaker 4: well cowboy Jeff appreciate that. On the call, Chris. If
- 8:25Speaker 4: we have more calls, let me know. I'm not getting
- 8:28Speaker 4: any communication. All right, let's keep it rolling here. We
- 8:32Speaker 4: got Dylan in Northport, Florida.
- 8:35Speaker 11: What's up, Hey, Nick, I just got back from the
- 8:39Speaker 11: future man and I come there in some good news
- 8:41Speaker 11: and some bad news. Bad news is there's no fleet
- 8:44Speaker 11: flickers this game, so sorry about that man. The good
- 8:47Speaker 11: news is Cowboys did win.
- 8:49Speaker 12: So I don't want to spoil anything. No spoilers. But
- 8:53Speaker 12: the coolest play, tell you what it was when Deuce
- 8:55Speaker 12: Bawln caught that screen pass and I don't know how
- 8:58Speaker 12: the exact yardist, but he's like over twenty yards. It
- 9:01Speaker 12: was over twenty yards that screen past at Cooper BB
- 9:03Speaker 12: out front. It was beautiful, So keep your eye off
- 9:06Speaker 12: for that. It was a beautiful play. I don't know
- 9:08Speaker 12: do you want the final score that happened, want me
- 9:10Speaker 12: to spoil that for you?
- 9:11Speaker 5: Guys, where are you gonna go this week? Where are
- 9:13Speaker 5: you going to be this weekend?
- 9:16Speaker 12: This weekend, I'm gonna be rewatching the game at home
- 9:19Speaker 12: in Florida.
- 9:21Speaker 4: Yes, sir, So you're not going to be in Vegas
- 9:24Speaker 4: because if you're not, If you're not gonna be in Vegas,
- 9:26Speaker 4: then no one's believing anything that you just got from
- 9:28Speaker 4: the future. Now, if you're if you're coming back from
- 9:30Speaker 4: the future and you're going to Vegas and you're gonna
- 9:32Speaker 4: make a lot of bets and you're gonna do that,
- 9:34Speaker 4: then hey, I'm with you. But if you're not gonna
- 9:36Speaker 4: take advantage of coming back from the future, then I'm
- 9:39Speaker 4: not with you on that.
- 9:40Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 9:41Speaker 12: I don't know if you ever saw a hot tub
- 9:42Speaker 12: time machine, but that breaks some sort of weird time
- 9:45Speaker 12: boundary you're not supposed to do, so I don't want
- 9:47Speaker 12: to risk that. So I'm gonna stay away from the
- 9:49Speaker 12: bets on this game. Cool, just I don't break the universe.
- 9:52Speaker 12: But I'll give you the final score. Man, Why it
- 9:54Speaker 12: was twenty seven to twenty Cowboys did when it was
- 9:56Speaker 12: a really beautiful.
- 9:57Speaker 5: Game awesome twenty seven to twenty Cowboys.
- 10:02Speaker 13: Yes, sir man, you may thank you.
- 10:04Speaker 4: You may or may not see that score on our
- 10:08Speaker 4: gut feeling article today under my name twenty seven to twenty,
- 10:14Speaker 4: but it may not be in the same order. So
- 10:17Speaker 4: I was giving Michael a hard time with his pick
- 10:19Speaker 4: twenty eight fourteen, just because it was so Unmichael, like,
- 10:23Speaker 4: you know it really, I mean for him to just
- 10:25Speaker 4: start us off of the show and then gets all
- 10:27Speaker 4: excited and then just boom twenty fourteen Ravens. Not that
- 10:32Speaker 4: I'm expecting that to be that much different. I mean,
- 10:36Speaker 4: have a hard time seeing the Cowboys win this game,
- 10:38Speaker 4: I really do. I mean, I'm trying to figure out
- 10:40Speaker 4: ways that they would do that, and you're looking at
- 10:42Speaker 4: mismatches and how it's all going to work together, and
- 10:46Speaker 4: you're like, they're just Cowboys are struggling and running the football,
- 10:50Speaker 4: and this is going to be a team that stops
- 10:51Speaker 4: the run. And then they're having a hard time stopping
- 10:53Speaker 4: the run and this is a team that runs the
- 10:55Speaker 4: ball well. So from a stylistic standpoint, I don't like
- 11:00Speaker 4: the match up here, and I certainly don't like it
- 11:02Speaker 4: based off of what We've seen how the Ravens are
- 11:05Speaker 4: coming into this game. But you know what, we still
- 11:09Speaker 4: got forty five minutes or so, forty minutes on this show.
- 11:11Speaker 4: I'm change my mind.
- 11:12Speaker 13: I like that.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Maybe I can I can get you guys to kind
- 11:15Speaker 4: of change my perspective a little bit on that.
- 11:19Speaker 5: All right, we have this is.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Early, but I feel like the phone lines are open,
- 11:24Speaker 4: and let's just say we got to take two breaks.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Might as well take one now, So y'all keep calling.
- 11:29Speaker 5: Eight eight eight eight.

- 13:14Speaker 6: Happy Friday to Cowboys Nation. I'm definitely a first time caller,
- 13:18Speaker 6: longtime listener. Here we go, Yeah, here we go.
- 13:22Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 13:23Speaker 6: I like that. So I'm the optimistic fan, like I
- 13:27Speaker 6: love the Cowboys, die hard. Like I said, I believe
- 13:31Speaker 6: they're gonna pull this one out this week. But I
- 13:33Speaker 6: do something that Mazzie Smith said when he first came
- 13:37Speaker 6: in a couple of years ago that always stuck with me.
- 13:41Speaker 6: I don't know if you remember, but he had made
- 13:42Speaker 6: the comment I don't like football.
- 13:44Speaker 13: I just like to hit people, and.
- 13:48Speaker 6: Just kind of bothered me because if you just watch
- 13:50Speaker 6: his play, he kind of plays like he doesn't like football,
- 13:54Speaker 6: and I don't know that's just you know, with the
- 13:57Speaker 6: defensive line having his struggles. That's just something that always
- 14:00Speaker 6: kind of just bothered me.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Oh it really bothered me. I mean, like, I, yeah,
- 14:05Speaker 4: it's not it wasn't just you. When he first said it,
- 14:08Speaker 4: I think it kind of sounded like a funny statement,
- 14:11Speaker 4: you know, like.
- 14:12Speaker 5: I just like to hit people.
- 14:13Speaker 4: I don't like football, tell right, you know, but I
- 14:16Speaker 4: hated it, honestly, and I still do because I think
- 14:20Speaker 4: there's some underlining parts to that. I'm always person that
- 14:25Speaker 4: thinks that, you know, you can win and lose games
- 14:28Speaker 4: in the middle of the week. And so when you
- 14:30Speaker 4: don't like football or you say that and you like
- 14:34Speaker 4: to hit people, Yeah, the games are fun, you know,
- 14:36Speaker 4: the Sunday that's fun, but practices aren't fun. Studying is
- 14:41Speaker 4: certainly not fun. And and and doing all the prep
- 14:45Speaker 4: work and getting your body right, eating the right foods,
- 14:48Speaker 4: all those kind of things to make sure on Sunday
- 14:51Speaker 4: you are the best. And so that's what when people
- 14:54Speaker 4: love football, you know. And I always think of Sean Lee.
- 14:58Speaker 4: Sean Lee loved football, he did all all of those things.
- 15:01Speaker 4: That's what separates the great players from the good players
- 15:03Speaker 4: and all that. So, yeah, that was kind of bothersome.
- 15:06Speaker 5: And you're right.
- 15:07Speaker 4: It's been a year now and in a few games,
- 15:10Speaker 4: and nothing has that he's done on the field has
- 15:12Speaker 4: changed our opinion of that, you know, right, So yeah.
- 15:17Speaker 6: I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy, But
- 15:19Speaker 6: you always go Cowboys.
- 15:20Speaker 4: You weren't, all right, Derek, appreciate, appreciate the call, first
- 15:23Speaker 4: time caller for us. Good to hear from you on
- 15:27Speaker 4: the show. Let's keep this thing going, uh, Lewis isn't
- 15:30Speaker 4: in Langston, Oklahoma.
- 15:31Speaker 5: Lewis, what's up, Bud?
- 15:33Speaker 15: What's going on?
- 15:34Speaker 10: Man?
- 15:34Speaker 15: If usually don't get in on Friday. So I was
- 15:36Speaker 15: gonna try to give him a score.
- 15:38Speaker 6: I got it.
- 15:39Speaker 15: Dallas twenty eight to seventeen.
- 15:43Speaker 13: I think that. I think that, how does it happen?
- 15:46Speaker 5: Twenty eight seventeen? How's it happen?
- 15:49Speaker 15: I'm gonna go honestly, I want them to run the ball,
- 15:51Speaker 15: but you're looking at the Ravens defense.
- 15:53Speaker 13: This is not gonna be a run the ball game.
- 15:55Speaker 15: So I know dak is gonna have to air it
- 15:57Speaker 15: out and they're going to probably double and trip. We'll
- 16:00Speaker 15: see the So I think this is more of like
- 16:01Speaker 15: a Brandon Cooks game. And if Ferguson plays, if they
- 16:06Speaker 15: give him any minutes, like, if he's effective, I say,
- 16:09Speaker 15: Ferguson gets a couple, couple I get, and I give it,
- 16:14Speaker 15: it's gonna be a Brandon Cooks game. But the defense
- 16:16Speaker 15: is gonna have to stop up, not Derrick Henry. I
- 16:19Speaker 15: think Derrick Henry, like I said last time, I think
- 16:22Speaker 15: they may be trying to figure it out, but I
- 16:24Speaker 15: hope they keep using it wrong. But it's gonna be
- 16:27Speaker 15: the Lamar show, and so you know, you can't really
- 16:29Speaker 15: stop Lamar on the ground, so I think they try
- 16:32Speaker 15: to get him to err it out, and that's where
- 16:33Speaker 15: our defense I think is more more efficient for taking
- 16:38Speaker 15: this game or taking this game. So I think twenty
- 16:41Speaker 15: eight seventeen is what I'm gonna go with.
- 16:42Speaker 4: All right, all right, like it? I can see it
- 16:46Speaker 4: a little bit, And you're right. The secondary for the
- 16:49Speaker 4: Ravens is I think where you're really gonna have to
- 16:51Speaker 4: exploit them. But you can't be one dimensional. You're gonna
- 16:54Speaker 4: have to be able to run it at times. Until
- 16:59Speaker 4: I see it different, I just I still think Zeke
- 17:02Speaker 4: is the best option that they have on the roster.
- 17:05Speaker 4: On the fifty three man roster, I would have liked
- 17:09Speaker 4: to see Dalvin Cook. Maybe they're gonna use them, maybe
- 17:12Speaker 4: they're not. Doesn't sound like they are, but then again,
- 17:16Speaker 4: they don't have to make that call until Saturday. But
- 17:20Speaker 4: you know, I would I'd like to see him out there.
- 17:23Speaker 4: But I think of the backs that you have, I
- 17:26Speaker 4: think this is a type of game that I think
- 17:28Speaker 4: Zeke could could help you in, maybe more so than
- 17:31Speaker 4: the other guys. But but you know, it's a committee,
- 17:35Speaker 4: and I don't love the committee. I mean, I don't
- 17:37Speaker 4: love that approach. It's not my favorite, but it is
- 17:39Speaker 4: what it is because there's nobody that separates themselves. So
- 17:43Speaker 4: that's that's that's what happens. And so maybe somebody will
- 17:47Speaker 4: in this game. But I like what you're saying about
- 17:49Speaker 4: cooked stretch the defense a little bit. I think Turpin
- 17:52Speaker 4: he's just got to catch the ball, like over the middle,
- 17:55Speaker 4: like he needs to make those kind of plays. It's
- 17:57Speaker 4: not just reverses with him. He can have a role.
- 18:00Speaker 4: He's just gonna have to you know, over the middle,
- 18:02Speaker 4: whatever it is. He has to make make these catches.
- 18:05Speaker 4: You need those speed Toburt, same thing. Those guys when
- 18:08Speaker 4: they when they get off trees to make plays, got
- 18:10Speaker 4: to make them because they can't just be CD all
- 18:13Speaker 4: the time. All right, let's go to Rick in Massachusetts.
- 18:17Speaker 16: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
- 18:18Speaker 5: Bud?
- 18:18Speaker 10: How are you all right?
- 18:21Speaker 17: Now?
- 18:21Speaker 16: It's from what I've been here, is that Ray you know,
- 18:24Speaker 16: Ravens the passing defenses last in the NFL. The secondary
- 18:30Speaker 16: is not that great, and they also don't cover Titans
- 18:33Speaker 16: very well the last few games. So I can see
- 18:36Speaker 16: this being Brandon Cooks, CD Lamb Dak and the Titans
- 18:41Speaker 16: Perguson or even play that they would be able to
- 18:47Speaker 16: you know, without the wrong gam having a little bit,
- 18:49Speaker 16: but they may not be all to run, but they'll
- 18:51Speaker 16: be able to pass and everything, and that's how they
- 18:54Speaker 16: get to win twenty four to twenty all.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Right, all right, now starting to sound like a cop show.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Good job, Rick, appreciate that. I think I think we're
- 19:04Speaker 4: all kind of seeing that, you know, Cooks that not
- 19:06Speaker 4: have a big game, you know last week, and Tolbert
- 19:11Speaker 4: was the one that that that had a few catches there.
- 19:15Speaker 4: But I still it's got to be it's got to
- 19:17Speaker 4: be multiple guys and that tight end. I think when
- 19:19Speaker 4: you have a tight end that that can be dynamic
- 19:22Speaker 4: for you, that that can change everything. It changes with
- 19:25Speaker 4: your running game, changes your passing game.
- 19:27Speaker 5: And also.
- 19:29Speaker 4: What makes the position so good is the fact that
- 19:33Speaker 4: you can be you can run out of your base
- 19:35Speaker 4: and still be dynamic. You don't have to have three
- 19:38Speaker 4: wides all the time just to have a playmaker and
- 19:41Speaker 4: you can still run the ball just because you have
- 19:44Speaker 4: a playmaker at tight end. T if you have a
- 19:47Speaker 4: really great tight end, especially if you have two that,
- 19:51Speaker 4: and I'm talking about your complete tight end. So the
- 19:54Speaker 4: real tight ends, the ones that can put on.
- 19:56Speaker 5: The line and block.
- 19:57Speaker 4: They're not going to be road graders, but they get
- 20:00Speaker 4: the way they can. They can, you know, force to
- 20:02Speaker 4: the outside and shield, do all the things you need
- 20:05Speaker 4: to do. Plus they can get down the field, make
- 20:07Speaker 4: plays and all that. Like a true complete tight end,
- 20:11Speaker 4: it changes everything with which you can do. You can
- 20:14Speaker 4: be the most versatile offense in the world with the
- 20:17Speaker 4: tight end. That that's what makes them so so valuable.
- 20:20Speaker 4: So sorry getting a call from someone who should know
- 20:25Speaker 4: I'm on a show. That's all right though, Uh no,
- 20:29Speaker 4: I just I think from a from a tight end perspective.
- 20:32Speaker 4: They need Ferguson, they need him bad, and you're seeing
- 20:35Speaker 4: it on the other side. And Baltimore's tight ends are
- 20:37Speaker 4: so good just because of that same thing. They get
- 20:40Speaker 4: catches from Lamar.
- 20:42Speaker 5: What are you gonna do?
- 20:42Speaker 4: You're gonna put a spy on Lamar. We've talked about
- 20:44Speaker 4: spies overshown says he's gonna do some of it. Maybe
- 20:47Speaker 4: Micah Parsons I doubt that, but you know, you can
- 20:51Speaker 4: spy Lamar all you want to. But those are the
- 20:54Speaker 4: guys also supposed to be covering your tight end, and
- 20:57Speaker 4: then you got Andrews, and you got Likely, and you
- 20:59Speaker 4: got those guys over the middle making plays. So that's
- 21:02Speaker 4: you have to pick your poison there, and sometimes the
- 21:04Speaker 4: tight ends are going to benefit a lot from that end.
- 21:07Speaker 5: All right, let's go to Ali in Florida.
- 21:11Speaker 17: Good morning, Mester and Egg.
- 21:12Speaker 10: How are you good? How pretty good?
- 21:15Speaker 17: Sir? I got I gotta clean something up. Yesterday I
- 21:21Speaker 17: said it's okay if the Cowboys lose.
- 21:24Speaker 10: But not big.
- 21:25Speaker 17: But I look at the Cowboys. I know Captain Rob
- 21:30Speaker 17: he didn't like the idea. No, no, Cowboys found love
- 21:33Speaker 17: to lose, let me get that clear. But I look
- 21:37Speaker 17: at the Cowboys last year. We lost to Arizona Cardinals,
- 21:43Speaker 17: then we lost to Green Bay, then we lost to
- 21:47Speaker 17: saying the way we lost it the way I'll watch
- 21:50Speaker 17: Cowboys for a long time, been to the NFC Championship,
- 21:54Speaker 17: heartache and twenty nine years of drought for Super Bowl,
- 22:00Speaker 17: it's easier to lose like Egle lost to Atlanta, then
- 22:07Speaker 17: you have a hope for the following week. But the
- 22:10Speaker 17: way we lost to Saints, it's just like you're questioning it. Okay,
- 22:17Speaker 17: it's a second game of the season. It's hard. It
- 22:21Speaker 17: is so hard. It's just it demoralized you. And then
- 22:25Speaker 17: he says, okay, forget about shop this season up. That
- 22:28Speaker 17: was gont try to get it clear. But having said that,
- 22:33Speaker 17: I think Cowboys in general. I was in Amazon and
- 22:41Speaker 17: went to the Sam Paulo. It was a lot of
- 22:44Speaker 17: Green Bay Eagle fan there. I went to the shop.
- 22:47Speaker 17: I had the storyline shirt on, and the girl behind
- 22:52Speaker 17: the desk he goes, oh, you Cowboys fantasy. Yeah, And
- 22:55Speaker 17: I was telling them there was two guys there from
- 22:57Speaker 17: Green Bay, you know, from the Eagles. And now they said, yeah,
- 23:01Speaker 17: your Cowboys got a spank forty four points and it
- 23:07Speaker 17: was just running them out. But I said to conversation
- 23:12Speaker 17: came up. I says, look, the last time I checked
- 23:16Speaker 17: the Eagle, your fans supposed to be a little civilized.
- 23:21Speaker 17: You don't throw battery at people. I remember Jimmy Johnson
- 23:25Speaker 17: when he was coaching. They put the deep battery in
- 23:28Speaker 17: the snowball, just the way they hit your leg. I said,
- 23:32Speaker 17: you come to our stadium. We don't get violent. We
- 23:35Speaker 17: respect you. You watch your game and good of a competition.
- 23:40Speaker 17: I said, Now, because you guys have a couple of people,
- 23:44Speaker 17: then suddenly you want to cash the Cowboys, all right?
- 23:48Speaker 4: You know, all right, Olie, we're not breaking news that
- 23:51Speaker 4: the Eagles fans are lacking some class likes. That's cool.
- 23:55Speaker 4: Like when I'll play them this week? What do you
- 23:57Speaker 4: think about this game though?
- 23:59Speaker 5: Coming up?
- 23:59Speaker 10: Though?
- 24:00Speaker 17: I think I think the Cowboy is gonna win thirty
- 24:03Speaker 17: one to twenty.
- 24:04Speaker 13: I'll tell you why.
- 24:06Speaker 17: I honestly got in my heart of heart. Defense is
- 24:10Speaker 17: gonna get a few turnovers. And if the you know,
- 24:15Speaker 17: Derrick Henry is not as fast as Alvin Kamara. When
- 24:19Speaker 17: he goes Lamar goes under the center, you know what
- 24:22Speaker 17: plays coming. But the one I'm worry about is Lamar Jackson.
- 24:26Speaker 17: When he goes to the shotgun, then you know, then
- 24:29Speaker 17: we have a problem. As long as a linebacker doesn't
- 24:32Speaker 17: get pushed back, I think we will have a great chance.
- 24:35Speaker 17: I know, Cowboy's gonna score offensively, and we're gonna get
- 24:39Speaker 17: a couple of picks, and the defense is gonna score
- 24:41Speaker 17: as well.
- 24:41Speaker 5: All right, defense gonna score that. That's big. All right, Olie,
- 24:45Speaker 5: thanks for the call.
- 24:47Speaker 4: He's uh doesn't like the Eagles fans and he's worried
- 24:50Speaker 4: about Lamar Jackson. Sometimes it is it is that simple.
- 24:55Speaker 4: But the defense, if the defense gets a score, that's
- 25:00Speaker 4: that's huge. I'd love to see a stat on that.
- 25:02Speaker 4: I should find that. Wh what what's the record when defense?
- 25:05Speaker 4: It went like a like a defensive team scores. And
- 25:09Speaker 4: also from the Cowboys, it just feels like it's gonna
- 25:12Speaker 4: be your day. You know, if you get a you
- 25:13Speaker 4: get a defensive touchdown or especially a special teams touchdown.
- 25:18Speaker 4: H it's been like a gnat in here. I blame
- 25:21Speaker 4: the talking Cowboys group. They probably had like food in here.
- 25:25Speaker 4: All right, let's keep this thing going. Jeff in Arkansas, Yes.
- 25:30Speaker 10: Nick, this is Jeff from Arkansas. This is not the
- 25:33Speaker 10: other Jeffs that you've already talked to. Yeah, so uh,
- 25:39Speaker 10: I was calling, Oh yeah. And by the way, Eagles
- 25:42Speaker 10: fans through what soballs at Senate Baus or something. We
- 25:47Speaker 10: know Eagles. It will go be Eagles fans. So I'm
- 25:49Speaker 10: not worried about them. Hey, I did have a question
- 25:53Speaker 10: for you. Did you or did any of the media
- 25:57Speaker 10: people know anything or did you all know about the
- 26:00Speaker 10: Catholic Bowl this past weekend?
- 26:03Speaker 5: About the what Bowl?
- 26:05Speaker 10: The Catholic Bowl.
- 26:08Speaker 5: I don't think so.
- 26:09Speaker 10: So. So Jerry Jones had invited like six Catholic teams
- 26:14Speaker 10: Little Rock from Little Rock. Yes, yes, sir, okay, sir. Yeah.
- 26:19Speaker 10: So I got to give a shout out to the
- 26:21Speaker 10: Catholic Rockets winning forty one to seven in the Catholic Bowl.
- 26:25Speaker 10: That was pretty cool. My son's on the team. He
- 26:28Speaker 10: was literally five feet away from Jerry Jones. That was
- 26:32Speaker 10: pretty cool. He came out for about a quarter or so.
- 26:35Speaker 10: That was cool. But you know, my son, Mason's on
- 26:40Speaker 10: the team, so that was pretty cool. We were at
- 26:43Speaker 10: the Star and the Tostitos Plaza and all that fun stuff,
- 26:48Speaker 10: and that was the first time I got to go
- 26:50Speaker 10: in there and uh see the Octal practice field and
- 26:53Speaker 10: all that, and I was looking for all the media
- 26:56Speaker 10: and I guess I didn't. I guess I didn't. Like
- 27:00Speaker 10: I think in my head, I'm like, I wonder if
- 27:02Speaker 10: they even know about what's going on. And I know
- 27:03Speaker 10: you'll got so many other obligations and stuff.
- 27:06Speaker 4: So yeah, I was just was I wasn't familiar with
- 27:09Speaker 4: that one, But glad your son's team won.
- 27:12Speaker 5: What do you think about the game this week?
- 27:16Speaker 10: I think about Cowboys thirty one eight. Mister Aubrey winning
- 27:21Speaker 10: the winning game.
- 27:24Speaker 5: Field goal is what I'm thinking, all right, Love it
- 27:27Speaker 5: gonna be a.
- 27:27Speaker 10: Bit, it is. I a couple of other things. I
- 27:32Speaker 10: wanted to ask you. This would not be have to
- 27:35Speaker 10: be a trade. But and I know I'm gonna get
- 27:41Speaker 10: a sigh from you on this. But what about Randy Gregory?
- 27:46Speaker 10: I mean, we could sign him to the least amount
- 27:48Speaker 10: of money, you know, or is that even an option
- 27:51Speaker 10: or is that already gone? Do you think.
- 27:54Speaker 4: I think that's I mean, I would think that's already gone.
- 27:58Speaker 4: I mean, he he's had many of opportunities to to
- 28:03Speaker 4: put football number one, and I just I don't know.
- 28:07Speaker 4: I don't know if he if he has I like Randy, uh,
- 28:11Speaker 4: He's He's one of the smartest players I've ever talked to.
- 28:14Speaker 4: I mean, he's fun to talk to. He never did
- 28:18Speaker 4: he never could get it, get football to be the
- 28:22Speaker 4: top priority for him. And so I don't I really
- 28:25Speaker 4: don't know what he's doing now. I know he's not
- 28:26Speaker 4: playing right now, but you know that I don't see
- 28:31Speaker 4: him coming in here being a being a big difference maker.
- 28:36Speaker 4: You know, he had a moment there, you know, and
- 28:39Speaker 4: they wanted to sign him, and you know that that
- 28:43Speaker 4: was kind of a tough situation when the Cowboys, you know,
- 28:46Speaker 4: we're trying to bring him here and it looked like
- 28:49Speaker 4: they had agreed on a deal, and then the last
- 28:51Speaker 4: minute he goes to Denver and uh, you know that
- 28:53Speaker 4: didn't that didn't necessarily work out for him there either.
- 28:56Speaker 4: So but I just don't see, I don't think he's
- 28:58Speaker 4: out of place right now. Where where he's gonna He's
- 29:01Speaker 4: gonna be somebody that could that could help a football team,
- 29:04Speaker 4: and you know, especially this one. So all right, let's
- 29:07Speaker 4: go to let's go to our last break here on
- 29:10Speaker 4: Cowboys storyline.

- 30:47Speaker 4: thing going. We've got Chris waiting on the line in
- 30:51Speaker 4: San Angelo.
- 30:52Speaker 19: Chris, what's up, mister Nick? How are you doing, sir good?
- 30:56Speaker 5: How are you doing?
- 30:57Speaker 13: You know, pretty good?
- 30:58Speaker 19: Last time I checked that just had a few things
- 31:02Speaker 19: for you. I'm thinking it's about time to go with
- 31:07Speaker 19: to I don't know where they are with him, but
- 31:09Speaker 19: let Dalvin Cook have some carries because I'm thinking you
- 31:13Speaker 19: picked the guy up while wait, while, wait till week
- 31:18Speaker 19: four whenever, you might could use him right now, and
- 31:22Speaker 19: that's the you know, like you need him. So let's
- 31:25Speaker 19: let's roll with that, right and then, uh, another thing,
- 31:29Speaker 19: the team kind of needs a shot in the arm,
- 31:33Speaker 19: so I'm thinking we need we need that guy that'll
- 31:36Speaker 19: do like a kind of like a Jake Ferguson breakout
- 31:40Speaker 19: type stuff last year, you know, pumping the chest given
- 31:44Speaker 19: the first down markers, How is what's the attitude of
- 31:49Speaker 19: floor NOI And I know I've got that name wrong.
- 31:54Speaker 19: I'd like to see somebody, little fresh blood coming there
- 31:58Speaker 19: and you know, maybe actually break a tackle and yeah
- 32:03Speaker 19: and make a play and.
- 32:05Speaker 10: Just see what the.
- 32:07Speaker 19: Status is on him. He could be that guy. Maybe
- 32:09Speaker 19: it's Stevens or you know, just somebody that's gonna come
- 32:14Speaker 19: in here and kind of give him a shot and
- 32:17Speaker 19: give him a shot in the arm, little attitude.
- 32:19Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for the call, Chris, I you know cowboys. Sorry,
- 32:26Speaker 4: twenty one. All right, thank you, thank you for the thing.
- 32:30Speaker 4: You know, you're you're right, like you need something. There's
- 32:37Speaker 4: nobody that's it seems like every time everybody on the
- 32:41Speaker 4: Saints team was like had had juice, had playmaking ability
- 32:47Speaker 4: down the field, you know, hard to keep up with.
- 32:50Speaker 4: You're going to face a team here with a quarterback
- 32:52Speaker 4: that can run like this, but you know last week
- 32:56Speaker 4: it was I mean, no no running back provided that
- 32:59Speaker 4: you're tie in was schoon Maker and Brevin span Ford,
- 33:03Speaker 4: I mean, big, big lumbering guys, but not you know that,
- 33:06Speaker 4: not on anybody's relay team. Brandon Cooks didn't play fast,
- 33:11Speaker 4: you know it didn't didn't do anything. Neither did Turpin
- 33:14Speaker 4: Colbert's not really a burner burner guy, and you know
- 33:17Speaker 4: CD really isn't either, but he did break free for
- 33:20Speaker 4: a for a touchdown. So I mean, you know your
- 33:23Speaker 4: playmakers need You're right, you need somebody like that. Maybe
- 33:27Speaker 4: fllinoy can do that over a Jalen Brooks. Maybe John
- 33:30Speaker 4: Stevens ken can provide that if he if he can
- 33:32Speaker 4: come back from injury and play this week. So uh yeah,
- 33:36Speaker 4: you're missing that. You're you're without a doubt, you are
- 33:39Speaker 4: missing some athletic ability there in the open field. Somebody
- 33:43Speaker 4: needs to be able to bring them all. Right, let's
- 33:44Speaker 4: go to David and fort Worth. Good Man, how are you?
- 33:49Speaker 13: Man?
- 33:49Speaker 20: Glad I could finally get through man, but trying all week.
- 33:51Speaker 10: But I'll be quick.
- 33:54Speaker 20: There's a couple of things that I wanted to talk
- 33:55Speaker 20: about storyline wise, and I'm not sure if it's been
- 33:57Speaker 20: mentioned because i just been calling the whole show, so
- 33:59Speaker 20: if it's been mentioned, but I'm really looking forward to,
- 34:02Speaker 20: like the MVP storyline. Right, So you have Lamar Jackson
- 34:06Speaker 20: and Lamar Jackson coming in and Dak, who a lot
- 34:09Speaker 20: of people feel like we're snubbed last season.
- 34:11Speaker 21: So I want to see kind.
- 34:12Speaker 20: Of if Dak has a little which of course he's
- 34:14Speaker 20: gonna give quarterback answers, but I want to see if
- 34:16Speaker 20: he has like a little bit more like fire in
- 34:19Speaker 20: him to kind of prove like, hey man, you got
- 34:20Speaker 20: my trophy, you know what I mean. So that's like
- 34:22Speaker 20: a head not necessarily had to head, but the matchup
- 34:24Speaker 20: that I want to watch. And then I mentioned this
- 34:26Speaker 20: last night in the spaces, but the Ravens got Tucker,
- 34:30Speaker 20: who's possibly the goat kicker Yeah, we got we got
- 34:33Speaker 20: Aubrey a little baby goat, and I'm interested to see
- 34:35Speaker 20: that because Tucker's missed a couple of kicks.
- 34:37Speaker 13: Aubrey's been pretty.
- 34:38Speaker 20: Fired, so this might be a passing of the torch
- 34:40Speaker 20: and I want to get my score prediction in crazy prediction.
- 34:43Speaker 20: There's a lot of things that don't really know about
- 34:45Speaker 20: this game, but one thing that I know for sure
- 34:47Speaker 20: is it's going to be thirty one to twenty eight.
- 34:49Speaker 4: Hold up, David, Hold up, David. I like that, you know,
- 34:53Speaker 4: David the justin Tucker. He's missed two field goals this year,
- 34:58Speaker 4: both over fifty yards. Brandon Aubrey had missed one in
- 35:02Speaker 4: thirteen straight. But with each week we go with our
- 35:06Speaker 4: hot take of the week. I love what you just said.
- 35:08Speaker 4: You made it a battle between the two kickers, passing
- 35:13Speaker 4: of the torch, like this is it? Like now Brandon
- 35:16Speaker 4: Aubrey is now going to be the best kicker in
- 35:19Speaker 4: the league.
- 35:19Speaker 5: Is that what we're saying?
- 35:20Speaker 20: Hey, that's what I feel in my guts. He's Hey,
- 35:23Speaker 20: he's the best kicker since Jeff Heast. You know what
- 35:25Speaker 20: I mean. I'm just kidding.
- 35:26Speaker 13: That's a joke, But yeah, man, that's I.
- 35:27Speaker 5: Don't know right there.
- 35:28Speaker 13: I like it, I really do like it.
- 35:30Speaker 20: I mean, he's not afraid to boom it.
- 35:31Speaker 13: He's very accurate.
- 35:32Speaker 20: He's even a kiel all the time, like he seems
- 35:35Speaker 20: pretty good.
- 35:35Speaker 13: But yeah, so real quick.
- 35:37Speaker 20: So my score is thirty one twenty eight.
- 35:40Speaker 5: All right.
- 35:41Speaker 20: And my crazy prediction, I think that this Dylan might
- 35:45Speaker 20: like this. I think that duth Van is going to
- 35:47Speaker 20: have over eighty five yards.
- 35:50Speaker 5: Oh my god, that's the hot sake of the week.
- 35:52Speaker 21: Total of total yards from scrimmage.
- 35:56Speaker 13: All right, is gonna get loose. I appreciate you man,
- 35:59Speaker 13: all right.
- 36:00Speaker 4: Our yetty hot take of the week. It goes to
- 36:02Speaker 4: David and fort Worth, especially for calling so much.
- 36:05Speaker 5: And I know all you.
- 36:05Speaker 4: Guys do call a lot to get in and we
- 36:08Speaker 4: appreciate that. A couple of things. I loved all of
- 36:11Speaker 4: those things that you said. You know, first and second
- 36:14Speaker 4: in MVP voting last year, Dak and Lamar Jackson. It's
- 36:17Speaker 4: only the fifth time ever that the two guys have
- 36:20Speaker 4: faced each other with five hundred or below records, So
- 36:25Speaker 4: you know they're owing two cowboys one and one. Usually
- 36:27Speaker 4: you know your MVP is on a good team. The
- 36:29Speaker 4: team's come in this is one and two and they're
- 36:32Speaker 4: they're battling to stay you know, just stay in the
- 36:35Speaker 4: in the thicker things at the standing. So that plus
- 36:39Speaker 4: justin Tucker, you know, he's been money and he still is.
- 36:42Speaker 4: You know, he's still the all time leading kicker as
- 36:45Speaker 4: far as accuracy in the NFL. And he comes Brandon Aubrey.
- 36:48Speaker 4: Aubrey's been thirteen straight kicks fifty yards or more. Those
- 36:52Speaker 4: the only two misses for Tucker. And then then you're
- 36:56Speaker 4: saying Duce is going loose for eighty yards or more
- 36:58Speaker 4: all purpose yards. Love it all right? So our Yetti
- 37:00Speaker 4: hot take of the week this is YETI. It keeps
- 37:03Speaker 4: things hot, keeps things cool. But our hot take of
- 37:05Speaker 4: the week goes to David and fort Worth. Thank you
- 37:07Speaker 4: so much for that. We'll see if those things play
- 37:10Speaker 4: out in this game, if Aubrey has a big game,
- 37:13Speaker 4: and of course this Vaughn has a big game, all right.
- 37:15Speaker 5: Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky's next. Michael.
- 37:18Speaker 22: All right, So earlier in the week you said you
- 37:20Speaker 22: didn't know anything about Bowling Green. All right, every quarvet
- 37:25Speaker 22: you've ever seen in your life was made in Bowling Green.
- 37:29Speaker 22: And Mike White used to be the backup quarterback from Cowboys.
- 37:34Speaker 22: From Bowling Green, he went to WKU. Decided to give
- 37:37Speaker 22: you a couple.
- 37:38Speaker 8: Of little things. Nice, Okay, lvar is twenty and one
- 37:44Speaker 8: against the NFC. Daniel Jones is the only NFC quarterback
- 37:48Speaker 8: to beating. Do you think with Baltimore's shaky offensive line,
- 37:55Speaker 8: we're gonna make them twenty and two?
- 37:59Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 37:59Speaker 5: That's one.
- 38:00Speaker 4: Record is interesting, you know because it's like wow, I
- 38:04Speaker 4: mean that that's a huge sample size, twenty and one.
- 38:06Speaker 4: There's got to be a reason for that. Teams that
- 38:09Speaker 4: don't face them all the time, they don't know how
- 38:12Speaker 4: to actually play against them, and and he's he's hurting
- 38:16Speaker 4: them for sure. But then you see the one and
- 38:19Speaker 4: you're like, oh, well, so it can happen, you know,
- 38:23Speaker 4: like if the if the Giants can do it with
- 38:26Speaker 4: Daniel Jones and all that.
- 38:27Speaker 5: Then then it definitely can happen.
- 38:30Speaker 4: So a great stat that's that's a that's a great stat,
- 38:33Speaker 4: But it also doesn't seem like it's one that it
- 38:36Speaker 4: can't be beatable. So yeah, I mean they can be
- 38:38Speaker 4: twenty and two for sure. I don't remember that game.
- 38:41Speaker 5: I can't.
- 38:42Speaker 4: It doesn't ring a bell on the Giants beating them.
- 38:46Speaker 4: Obviously wasn't too long ago. But but yeah, I don't recall.
- 38:49Speaker 4: It was probably twenty twenty, right, because that was the
- 38:52Speaker 4: year that the Cowboys played the Ravens.
- 38:54Speaker 5: So I would.
- 38:55Speaker 4: Imagine that's when the raven That's when the Ravens played them.
- 38:58Speaker 4: Weird year, you know, COVID, so that that's that actually
- 39:03Speaker 4: does look a little bit better if that, if that
- 39:05Speaker 4: was the year.
- 39:07Speaker 22: I also want to get up court prediction. Okay, I'm
- 39:10Speaker 22: gonna go twenty Dallas twenty one, Baltimore twenty.
- 39:15Speaker 4: Twenty one, twenty all right, sounds good, Thank you, Michael
- 39:18Speaker 4: and Bowling Green. Where the corvettes are? All right, y'all,
- 39:22Speaker 4: realize of your picks. I've been writing down this. This
- 39:25Speaker 4: is just the Ravens picks over here. Twenty points for
- 39:29Speaker 4: the Ravens twenty eight, twenty one, twenty eight, twenty twenty,
- 39:34Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, twenty eight interesting, uh, good stuff. All right,
- 39:41Speaker 4: let's keep this thing going. Jim and Phoenix, Arizona, Jim.
- 39:45Speaker 13: Hey, good morning, How are you doing good?
- 39:47Speaker 5: How are you doing?
- 39:49Speaker 21: I'm doing great? First time poller finally got through right
- 39:53Speaker 21: here you go, Hey, first off, congratulations on your twenty
- 39:58Speaker 21: five arigon. I've lit to you and read you for
- 40:01Speaker 21: a long time, and I just really appreciating your perspective
- 40:04Speaker 21: and your take on everything. Dallas Coupolis, So thank you
- 40:07Speaker 21: very much.
- 40:08Speaker 5: Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. Thank you.
- 40:10Speaker 21: Yeah, no problem. Hey, So this build the era of
- 40:13Speaker 21: like twenty eighteen, except what management did with the receiver
- 40:18Speaker 21: room they got rid of Daz went retired right around
- 40:22Speaker 21: the draft and really didn't bring any help in. I
- 40:25Speaker 21: think Alan Heurns was here, and he will and Beasley
- 40:29Speaker 21: and maybe like Bryce Butler went into the season. I
- 40:33Speaker 21: was hard to imagine we went in the season thinking
- 40:35Speaker 21: that that was good enough crew, And I think now
- 40:37Speaker 21: we're sitting kind of like that running back. I love Zeke,
- 40:40Speaker 21: you know, a whole bunch of his jerseys hanging in
- 40:42Speaker 21: my closet. I doubts got you something about the running
- 40:46Speaker 21: back game, and I don't know what that is other
- 40:49Speaker 21: than giving Dalvin.
- 40:52Speaker 10: Cook a shot.
- 40:54Speaker 4: Okay, all right, thank you Thanks for the calling you
- 40:58Speaker 4: going with Dalvin Cook. Thanks Jim and PINGX first time
- 41:00Speaker 4: caller Phoenix or Australia or somewhere that sounded really far
- 41:05Speaker 4: away a lot farther away than Phoenix. Uh, not the
- 41:08Speaker 4: first person to say that. I mean, Dalvin Cook should
- 41:11Speaker 4: get a shot. I I'm with you. Nothing's happened in
- 41:14Speaker 4: these first two games that makes me think, well, you know,
- 41:17Speaker 4: can't play the four time pro bowler who's been here,
- 41:19Speaker 4: and he's been as been a great.
- 41:20Speaker 5: Player in the league. And I get it.
- 41:22Speaker 4: He's he's the same as Zeke. Mean, it's the same
- 41:25Speaker 4: type of thing. Maybe you know Zeke has has lost
- 41:27Speaker 4: this step. I'm sure Dalvin Cook has as well. I
- 41:29Speaker 4: mean he's not He's not out there for for a reason.
- 41:32Speaker 4: You know, he's not out there because he's he's so great.
- 41:34Speaker 4: He's just waiting on the Cowboys to call. I mean,
- 41:37Speaker 4: teams kind of feel the same way about him, and
- 41:41Speaker 4: and you know, but but you don't have a lot
- 41:42Speaker 4: of options, and so I I need a back in
- 41:46Speaker 4: a game like this.
- 41:47Speaker 5: I just feel like it's going to be.
- 41:49Speaker 4: A very intense game and and and you need somebody
- 41:52Speaker 4: that's gonna be able to that's been there, that's been
- 41:54Speaker 4: through the wars and and and can pick up blitzes
- 41:57Speaker 4: and and get those tough yards and you know, when
- 41:59Speaker 4: when you get hit hard in this game, come back
- 42:01Speaker 4: and be able to bring it back. And you know,
- 42:04Speaker 4: Zeke has done that in his career, Dalvin Cook has
- 42:06Speaker 4: done that in their career. So h, I feel like
- 42:08Speaker 4: it's the it's the type of game that you're gonna
- 42:10Speaker 4: need that to that kind of stuff.
- 42:12Speaker 5: All right, let's keep it going. Zach in Atlanta, Hey.
- 42:15Speaker 7: What's up?
- 42:16Speaker 2: Nick?
- 42:17Speaker 5: Not much, man, how are you?
- 42:19Speaker 22: I'm good?
- 42:20Speaker 10: Hey.
- 42:21Speaker 23: I made a reference earlier in the week to plumbing.
- 42:24Speaker 23: I'll leave it at that. And guess what, man, I
- 42:26Speaker 23: think we have three plumbers on the way to fix
- 42:29Speaker 23: what's going on. I think we got Dalvin Cook. I
- 42:32Speaker 23: think he's gonna, you know, just like we saw is
- 42:35Speaker 23: he kind of hurdle of guys first week. He's got
- 42:37Speaker 23: a little more in the tank.
- 42:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 42:38Speaker 23: I think Dalvin Cook is going to provide just some
- 42:41Speaker 23: some more juice. I think he's he's going to help
- 42:44Speaker 23: as much as he can on on offense.
- 42:46Speaker 22: I think Jake.
- 42:47Speaker 23: Ferguson he is another plumber ready to ready to get
- 42:50Speaker 23: in the mix. And then I think Overshown, Man, it's
- 42:54Speaker 23: going to be a big game and we need to
- 42:56Speaker 23: use him and turn him loose, you know. And so
- 43:00Speaker 23: my prediction. I do think the Cowboys win. I'll say
- 43:04Speaker 23: twenty seven to twenty three. And man, yeah, I'll leave.
- 43:12Speaker 13: It at that thing.
- 43:12Speaker 4: All right, it sounds good, all right, Zach, He's got
- 43:15Speaker 4: the uh. He's got some plumbers here that are gonna
- 43:19Speaker 4: gonna carry the Cowboys to the lead. That's that's great.
- 43:22Speaker 4: Let's keep their pants up, you know what I mean.
- 43:24Speaker 4: Just keep make sure there's no cracks in the in
- 43:26Speaker 4: the uh and they are in the stupid all right,
- 43:30Speaker 4: the Cowboys, Cowboys toy seven twenty three. I like to
- 43:33Speaker 4: pick you know, it's they have they Like we talked
- 43:37Speaker 4: about Ferguson, whoever it is, these these secondary players, not
- 43:41Speaker 4: the CDs whatever, but dak CD. They got to bring
- 43:44Speaker 4: it who else who? You know, just like they say
- 43:47Speaker 4: in the movie Old School, Who's who's coming with me?
- 43:49Speaker 4: You know that that kind of thing, And and that
- 43:54Speaker 4: is it might have been Jerry maguire line, Who's coming
- 43:56Speaker 4: with me?
- 43:56Speaker 10: Though?
- 43:57Speaker 4: That's what they need, you know, who is going to
- 43:59Speaker 4: to say we're gonna be here, We're gonna beat these ravens.
- 44:04Speaker 4: Cook's gonna have to step it up. Ferguson steps it up.
- 44:07Speaker 4: But maybe it's just fun. Maybe it's Zeke, whoever it is,
- 44:10Speaker 4: but but you know, those guys have to be able
- 44:14Speaker 4: to make those plays. All right, let's go Derek in Springfield.
- 44:17Speaker 10: And sorty back to back days. What's going on, man?
- 44:20Speaker 5: What's up man? Good stuff?
- 44:22Speaker 10: Oh?
- 44:23Speaker 13: Not much?
- 44:24Speaker 24: Hey, So I wanted to make a comment off of
- 44:29Speaker 24: my comment yesterday. And then also, I've got one other
- 44:32Speaker 24: little thing. I haven't listened to any of this show today.
- 44:35Speaker 24: So if I hit on something that's already and talked
- 44:37Speaker 24: about up on me, my bad. So I and I
- 44:42Speaker 24: knew right when I like hung up with you, I
- 44:44Speaker 24: should have said this.
- 44:45Speaker 13: And threw it in.
- 44:46Speaker 24: But because I knew what you were going to say,
- 44:49Speaker 24: and people don't want to get rid of that interior
- 44:51Speaker 24: d line help, I get it. But dude, I'm like,
- 44:54Speaker 24: at this point, I'm like, if you got to give
- 44:56Speaker 24: up extra or lose the trade first for say, I'm
- 45:00Speaker 24: down for it. I mean, I think we need to
- 45:02Speaker 24: help that. I don't want them to wait around. So
- 45:05Speaker 24: you know, I'm not in the front office, so I
- 45:07Speaker 24: don't make those decisions, which I wish I could, but
- 45:10Speaker 24: that's my you know, little two cents extra on that,
- 45:14Speaker 24: And then I want to see this offense. I'm tired
- 45:19Speaker 24: of the early down running. Like I would love to
- 45:22Speaker 24: just start off the game with a just play action,
- 45:25Speaker 24: get back, bootleg whatever, get him on the outside, outside
- 45:28Speaker 24: of the pocket, a short completion or a deep shot.
- 45:32Speaker 24: I want to see more early first down throws on
- 45:35Speaker 24: first and second down. You know, I just I'm tired
- 45:39Speaker 24: of a handoff going for one or two yards on
- 45:42Speaker 24: first down. And you know, I get it, we got
- 45:44Speaker 24: to establish the run. But that's just kind of kind
- 45:47Speaker 24: of my thinking. Yeah, just wanted to throw that in there.
- 45:50Speaker 5: Well, thanks, thanks for the call. Good point.
- 45:53Speaker 4: And you can't be behind the chains. And if you're
- 45:55Speaker 4: not running the ball, it's one thing. You got to
- 45:57Speaker 4: keep running, keep running if you're get something. But if
- 46:00Speaker 4: you're not getting anything, it's one, it's two, it's minus one,
- 46:04Speaker 4: it's three. Then then you're always in second eight second
- 46:07Speaker 4: and ten second and eleven and and that's that's what's
- 46:11Speaker 4: setting you back every time. And so you've got to
- 46:14Speaker 4: be able to keep them on the on the heels. However,
- 46:17Speaker 4: they can get four to five yards, if not more,
- 46:20Speaker 4: and so I it's I agree with you. You know, it
- 46:23Speaker 4: can't just be run, run, pass I mean, that's not
- 46:25Speaker 4: the way that that it works. And I'm not saying
- 46:27Speaker 4: that's what the Cowboys do, but if you're not running
- 46:30Speaker 4: the football, then you have to figure out other ways
- 46:34Speaker 4: to get it working, where you may have to pass
- 46:36Speaker 4: to set up the run. It's you know, it's it's
- 46:39Speaker 4: kind of the way the new new football.
- 46:41Speaker 5: Is right now.
- 46:41Speaker 4: So I think I think that's that's a good point.
- 46:44Speaker 4: That's something to look at for sure. Let's go with
- 46:46Speaker 4: our last caller here of the day. It'll be Nico
- 46:49Speaker 4: and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
- 46:53Speaker 13: Hey, what's up, Nick? How you guys doing today?
- 46:56Speaker 5: We're good.
- 46:58Speaker 10: Man.
- 46:58Speaker 13: I've been thinking on it. I did not call in
- 47:01Speaker 13: after the game, after the beatdown because I'm one of
- 47:04Speaker 13: those Cowboy fans that everybody hates. I am that delusional fan.
- 47:08Speaker 13: I am that guy that has the tattoo and decks
- 47:11Speaker 13: out with wearing Barry Church's game Warren pants. And you
- 47:15Speaker 13: know I'm that guy. Okay, So I take it too
- 47:19Speaker 13: seriously because my life ain't that great. I want the
- 47:23Speaker 13: Cowboys to be great so I can have something to
- 47:25Speaker 13: cheer about, you know. So I'm sitting back thinking about it.
- 47:31Speaker 5: You have Bury Church game worn pants, Like, what, Yes.
- 47:34Speaker 13: I have three pair of his game worn pants. Why
- 47:40Speaker 13: because I want to wear uniform during.
- 47:42Speaker 5: The game and you've stolen Barry churches pants.
- 47:45Speaker 13: No, I bought him off. I bought them off of
- 47:47Speaker 13: a web certified website.
- 47:48Speaker 4: That uh pants. Okay, now it's good, it's good. All right,
- 47:53Speaker 4: that's interesting. I thought you just randomly said that, which
- 47:56Speaker 4: would have been funny too, But this is also pretty
- 47:58Speaker 4: random that Barry Church's pants are out there.
- 48:01Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's not.
- 48:02Speaker 13: Just Barry Church the website. The guy goes and buys
- 48:05Speaker 13: old warehouses of old stock and they are authentic their
- 48:11Speaker 13: game warn gear.
- 48:12Speaker 5: Okay, cool, all right, sounds good.
- 48:15Speaker 13: All right, anyways, keep going. I was thinking about it.
- 48:18Speaker 13: I didn't want to overreact, but I wanted to react.
- 48:20Speaker 13: I wanted to hear what Mike Zimmer is going to do.
- 48:23Speaker 13: And we got that answer, and thank god, we got
- 48:26Speaker 13: the answer. And I don't know if anybody's actually caught on,
- 48:28Speaker 13: but I did. JP. Your wrist ain't really hurt. That's
- 48:31Speaker 13: your big daddy, your coach telling you sit your butt
- 48:34Speaker 13: on the sideline because you can't do anything. Hey, next guy, Mozi,
- 48:38Speaker 13: your a waste. Move on, Go sit down. Let's get
