- 0:15Speaker 2: Storyline, brought you by Gillette, the official razor of the
- 0:19Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman. What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline.
- 0:30Speaker 1: I am Nick. Even it is Tuesday, August nineteenth. Let's
- 0:34Speaker 1: talk a little Cowboys football. It's kind of what we
- 0:36Speaker 1: do on this show. Welcome back. Yes, I've been back
- 0:39Speaker 1: here for a couple of shows now, but still officially
- 0:43Speaker 1: back because Chris Beams back there running the board again,
- 0:47Speaker 1: not no offense than anyone else. Did a nice job.
- 0:49Speaker 1: But you know, starters are the starters for a reason,
- 0:52Speaker 1: and when the show, when they're back in, it makes it.
- 0:56Speaker 1: It makes a difference, you know. And there's no Wallypip
- 0:58Speaker 1: going on here. All right, let's get this thing going.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I know there's a lot to talk about. We've got
- 1:04Speaker 1: practice tonight here at a Ford Center for the next
- 1:08Speaker 1: two nights. If you're in the area, you want to
- 1:10Speaker 1: come watch the Cowboys here at Ford Center at the
- 1:14Speaker 1: Star District, come on and do that. I think practice
- 1:17Speaker 1: is at six pm. The door is open about probably
- 1:22Speaker 1: like four point thirty or five. I should know those details,
- 1:24Speaker 1: but it might be on one of these reads right here.
- 1:29Speaker 1: The mission is freeze. That's the best part of the
- 1:32Speaker 1: whole thing. Come out here and watch the Cowboys though.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Tonight and tomorrow two nights that we'll have here, there'll
- 1:39Speaker 1: be the last two open practices of the season. As
- 1:42Speaker 1: we're getting closer and closer to get this thing kind
- 1:44Speaker 1: of started the twenty twenty five season, everybody's anxious and
- 1:48Speaker 1: we want to know what's going to happen with this team.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit concerned or a lot of a
- 1:53Speaker 1: bit concerned based off of what we've seen or haven't
- 1:56Speaker 1: seen in the preseason so far. All right, let's go
- 2:00Speaker 1: to the callers here. There's somebody that as concerned about Cowboys,
- 2:05Speaker 1: about what's going on. How about Randy? Randy and Texartana?
- 2:08Speaker 1: My guy, what's up?
- 2:09Speaker 4: What's happening? Brother?
- 2:11Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 2:12Speaker 4: I'm all right, I guess uh, excuse my voice, it's
- 2:15Speaker 4: very very shaky. I had treat me yesterday, so I
- 2:17Speaker 4: got the jitters real bad. I'm hard to control it,
- 2:20Speaker 4: but I wanted to.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Yeah, it's yeah, sucks, it's part of it.
- 2:25Speaker 4: But we're going to get to it, so I want
- 2:29Speaker 4: to do if everybody else will follow along. Since the
- 2:32Speaker 4: gambler comes on tonight, Uh, let's make this a gamble ship.
- 2:37Speaker 4: And I've already got one in my head that I'm
- 2:40Speaker 4: not scared to say it the Milton backup. If you
- 2:45Speaker 4: want him to throw an eighty yard pass, he can
- 2:47Speaker 4: do it. If you want him to throw a ten
- 2:48Speaker 4: yard pass, he'll throw an eighty. I think at best
- 2:52Speaker 4: he's practiced squad and I think he's going to remain
- 2:57Speaker 4: our second, our backup quarterback for something. This is again
- 3:00Speaker 4: amble part of Jerry Jones. I'm going to get deep.
- 3:03Speaker 4: But I say he's gambling on that because if he
- 3:07Speaker 4: wanted to get a better backup quarterback for a little money,
- 3:11Speaker 4: he could have just kept rushing.
- 3:12Speaker 6: Did that.
- 3:12Speaker 4: We already knew the guy, So I think he's on
- 3:14Speaker 4: purposely doing this for the gamble. Of course, this is
- 3:17Speaker 4: just for fun. I think that he's gonna do the
- 3:21Speaker 4: gamble if Dak doesn't make it a full season, bringing
- 3:26Speaker 4: him in and taking the season. Because there's a certain
- 3:30Speaker 4: manning down there at the University of Texas that his
- 3:32Speaker 4: pepall said he wanted him to be a cowboy quarterback.
- 3:36Speaker 4: And the only way to get one of those kind
- 3:37Speaker 4: of quarterbacks is you got to dump it. And that's
- 3:40Speaker 4: the gamble I'm referring. All right, Well, for fun, of course,
- 3:45Speaker 4: you know they'll say, you'll have all the callers come
- 3:47Speaker 4: in and say, oh, you're crazy. I mean, Conn the
- 3:50Speaker 4: Gambler for a reason.
- 3:51Speaker 1: How you know, the guy had started the game in football.
- 3:57Speaker 1: So I mean I'm a little hesitant before I say, oh,
- 4:01Speaker 1: you know, because I mean Michael Jordan had relatives too.
- 4:03Speaker 1: That doesn't didn't mean that they're great. So I mean
- 4:06Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I mean, I understand, and there's people
- 4:09Speaker 1: walk around here that Texas hook them all that kind
- 4:12Speaker 1: of stuff, But I mean he hadn't started a game.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see, we'll see how how good he is.
- 4:18Speaker 1: He might be, he might be outstanding, but tanking any
- 4:21Speaker 1: kind of seasons for him, I I doubt.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Well, I'm just saying it back, I mean, back in there.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Of course, let's feel full blown and let's do this thing.
- 4:29Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, hey, Troy Aikman, I've always said
- 4:32Speaker 4: my favorite defensive player of all time was Darren Wood's
- 4:35Speaker 4: in my favorite in offense was Troy, And he was
- 4:38Speaker 4: on the Monday Night game last night actually saying he
- 4:42Speaker 4: feels really good about Dallas this year, and that kind
- 4:44Speaker 4: of threw me for a minute because I was getting
- 4:46Speaker 4: ready for him to start talking trash and he said
- 4:50Speaker 4: he liked what we've got going on, so maybe he yeah,
- 4:53Speaker 4: I mean, he was a professional. So I'm I'm we
- 4:57Speaker 4: know Troy.
- 4:58Speaker 1: We do yeah with Troy. That was it like it is.
- 5:01Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, Randy, Well thanks for calling and
- 5:04Speaker 1: getting us, uh leading us off here. I hope you're
- 5:06Speaker 1: doing well for sure.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Right, yep, I'm gonna get to it.
- 5:09Speaker 6: I shout out to you.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Mama. She knows why she did.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Let's clarify that that she gave you some She got
- 5:17Speaker 1: you food, and she she brought some food over. Now
- 5:20Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's clarify there that that she brought
- 5:23Speaker 1: food over again. And and you're eating the cooking there
- 5:26Speaker 1: that I I don't have, So yeah, I just wanted
- 5:29Speaker 1: to out over there.
- 5:30Speaker 7: All right.
- 5:31Speaker 4: She made a pineapple cake refrigerated cold cake thing. Oh my,
- 5:38Speaker 4: I made myself sick eating that.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Nice all right, brother, get to the next one. Thanks Randy.
- 5:45Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, you know, I'll go back to
- 5:47Speaker 1: the to the backup quarterback stuff, the gamble part, and yeah,
- 5:54Speaker 1: Jerry's definitely a Gambler and that they're They titled the
- 5:57Speaker 1: Netflix series that that came out today officially. I think
- 6:00Speaker 1: I believe it's an eight part series. I've seen five
- 6:04Speaker 1: of the episodes, have not seen all eight, so it's
- 6:07Speaker 1: really well done. It's really well done, especially with for
- 6:11Speaker 1: someone that's been caught up in my own documentary and
- 6:14Speaker 1: the trailer just came out to that on Coach Joe
- 6:17Speaker 1: for Joe Avazano that comes out on Thursday, but it's
- 6:21Speaker 1: not The Netflix series is really really good. They did
- 6:24Speaker 1: a good job and obviously showing that you know, Jerry's
- 6:27Speaker 1: gotten to this point as making these kind of moves. However,
- 6:32Speaker 1: making Joe Milton your backup quarterback for this season, especially
- 6:36Speaker 1: when Dak is coming off an injury and has had
- 6:38Speaker 1: injuries every year, that would be right at the top
- 6:41Speaker 1: of the list of the of the of the Gambles.
- 6:45Speaker 1: He's not ready to do that. He's not ready to
- 6:48Speaker 1: be your backup quarterback. He hasn't shown the consistency to
- 6:52Speaker 1: make just some of the minor throws that are needed,
- 6:55Speaker 1: your basic elementary type throws. He's not there yet. And
- 7:01Speaker 1: he's been in training camp where he was if he
- 7:04Speaker 1: never getting hit at training camp. Come to the preseason
- 7:08Speaker 1: and it's yeah, it's vanilla, but it's vanilla on the
- 7:11Speaker 1: defense too. They're not giving any kind of crazy stuff.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I mean, and he showed there at the goal line
- 7:16Speaker 1: there down at the two yard line and he got
- 7:19Speaker 1: sacked for a safety. I mean that Paul should have
- 7:21Speaker 1: been out. He's just seeing that should have processed that
- 7:23Speaker 1: from the beginning. This is going to be a quick,
- 7:25Speaker 1: hot route. Mingo was wide open to the left side.
- 7:28Speaker 1: He had a couple of receivers open, and he waited
- 7:31Speaker 1: too long and took a sack at a safe and
- 7:33Speaker 1: he got you lucky they didn't lose the football. But
- 7:36Speaker 1: those type of things to me just show that he's
- 7:38Speaker 1: not ready to, you know, be the backup. And that's okay.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I mean, remember the Cowboys did the same thing last year.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Then he just trade a seventh round I mean, they
- 7:46Speaker 1: traded for a fourth round pick to get Trey Lance.
- 7:49Speaker 1: They traded a fourth round to get Trey Lance for
- 7:52Speaker 1: him to come in here learn all year long. And
- 7:54Speaker 1: then last year he was supposed to be the backup,
- 7:56Speaker 1: and he wasn't ready, and so Cooper Rush was the
- 7:58Speaker 1: backup and he was the third string. And there's nothing
- 8:01Speaker 1: wrong with that, so that, you know, but you got
- 8:02Speaker 1: to find a backup. Maybe it's will of Greer, I
- 8:05Speaker 1: don't know, but maybe it's someone else. But I don't
- 8:09Speaker 1: think it could be Joe Milton. I think everyone knows
- 8:11Speaker 1: that one. I would imagine that everybody would see the
- 8:15Speaker 1: same thing there. There's no way you can go into
- 8:16Speaker 1: a season and have him as the backup. He just
- 8:18Speaker 1: doesn't has it shown that he's ready yet. All right,
- 8:21Speaker 1: let's go to Brian in Kansas City. Good morning, sir,
- 8:25Speaker 1: Hey Brian, how are you.
- 8:26Speaker 6: I'm doing good man, it's good to hear from Randy
- 8:29Speaker 6: and Sir led glad to here. Now. I'm a little
- 8:32Speaker 6: upset that mama doesn't drive any any food up to
- 8:35Speaker 6: Kansas City.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Man, Well, you know what if you if if you
- 8:38Speaker 1: asked her, she might you know.
- 8:40Speaker 6: I hear you, I hear you. Uh you know. So
- 8:44Speaker 6: that's a good conversation on the on the backup quarterback
- 8:48Speaker 6: is I absolutely believe Greer is better than Milton right now. Yeah,
- 8:54Speaker 6: I don't think I agree with you. I don't think
- 8:56Speaker 6: there's any question about it right now, and they.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Know that that's a nothing I didn't say like one
- 9:01Speaker 1: of the reasons you're not seeing him. They feel like
- 9:03Speaker 1: they know who he is. The upside for Milton's obviously
- 9:07Speaker 1: a lot higher because just as athleticism and all that,
- 9:09Speaker 1: did they know what they have with willgre Now does
- 9:13Speaker 1: he need reps, sure, but they kind of feel like
- 9:15Speaker 1: he could go in and be what he is.
- 9:19Speaker 6: Yeah, I was kind of hoping in the third game,
- 9:22Speaker 6: you know that maybe maybe he does get a couple
- 9:24Speaker 6: of reps so that, you know, just just shake off
- 9:27Speaker 6: any last bit or rust or anything in case he
- 9:29Speaker 6: is needed, because you just never know. I mean, you know,
- 9:31Speaker 6: anything can happen and equipment failure. What if he just
- 9:34Speaker 6: has to go in for a drive, you know, something
- 9:38Speaker 6: happens and you know, Dak breaks a shoelace and they
- 9:41Speaker 6: can't find one for one drive, you know, and then
- 9:44Speaker 6: somebody's got to go in. And now my question is
- 9:48Speaker 6: is when they do the designations, you know, are they
- 9:51Speaker 6: going to keep two quarterbacks on the forty six because
- 9:55Speaker 6: they're so unsure or and then who do they designate
- 9:59Speaker 6: as the emergency guy? Because I think the backup right now,
- 10:02Speaker 6: it's got to be Will and that would make Milton
- 10:06Speaker 6: the emergency break you know, breaking play, you know, break
- 10:09Speaker 6: less in case of emergency. But anyway, it's just just
- 10:12Speaker 6: a you know, a roster thing that that you know,
- 10:14Speaker 6: we'd wonder about come come week one. You know. For me,
- 10:18Speaker 6: I watched the I did. I did not watch the
- 10:21Speaker 6: first game. I only watched the highlights of the first game, uh,
- 10:25Speaker 6: because they didn't have anybody out, you know, they didn't
- 10:27Speaker 6: really have any starters out there. But this time they did.
- 10:30Speaker 6: And I watched the game, and I have to say that,
- 10:33Speaker 6: you know, watching BB and Booker play together was it
- 10:39Speaker 6: was definitely definitely you could see that there was something
- 10:42Speaker 6: going on there. There was some good chemistry, you know,
- 10:46Speaker 6: they they you know, I watched other people break down
- 10:49Speaker 6: that I have one of that package that gives you
- 10:51Speaker 6: the All twenty two, but I don't know what I'm
- 10:53Speaker 6: looking for. I watch other people who break that down,
- 10:56Speaker 6: and I saw you know, people breaking it down saying
- 10:59Speaker 6: they passed off the stunts and everything. Okay, so I
- 11:02Speaker 6: was really glad about that. What I was really excited
- 11:04Speaker 6: though about Nick, was what I saw from the linebackers. Yep,
- 11:08Speaker 6: I thought the linebackers had a fantastic game compared to
- 11:12Speaker 6: what everybody said after the Rams game, and maybe I
- 11:17Speaker 6: thought maybe i'd throw that one back to you. What
- 11:19Speaker 6: did you see and what did you like? Damon Clark
- 11:22Speaker 6: looks like a new man out there, you know, and
- 11:26Speaker 6: I had heard so many good things in training camp,
- 11:29Speaker 6: but I mean, he really looked like he really takes
- 11:32Speaker 6: to Iberflus's system here. So I'll throw that one out
- 11:36Speaker 6: to you and listen to the ur ans. Raf air Man, all.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Right, thank you appreciate the call. And you're right about
- 11:44Speaker 1: the linebackers. I mean, they they have performed well, and
- 11:48Speaker 1: that was not an uncommon thing to see in a
- 11:52Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus defense. I've mentioned it before. I mean, I
- 11:55Speaker 1: just feel like I've always seen him take linebackers to
- 11:58Speaker 1: another level. He did it when he first started here
- 12:01Speaker 1: with with Anthony Hitchins. That's the one that I remember
- 12:04Speaker 1: the most. But I mean, you know, we had Shack
- 12:06Speaker 1: Leonard in Indianapolis and you know, second round pick that was,
- 12:10Speaker 1: you know, an all pro over there, and and you
- 12:13Speaker 1: know he's He's Bears had some good linebackers last year
- 12:16Speaker 1: Sanborn was one of them. So we did our top
- 12:19Speaker 1: twenty list of players at training camp, you know, and
- 12:22Speaker 1: we did a photo gallery with that are ranked our
- 12:24Speaker 1: top twenty players had everybody kind of vote for it.
- 12:28Speaker 1: And of the twenty, I think four linebackers made the list,
- 12:32Speaker 1: so that that's pretty impressive. Now, nobody's super high, but
- 12:35Speaker 1: I mean I think Mary's leafal was seven on the list,
- 12:38Speaker 1: and then you know, Damone made it, Kenneth Murray made it.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Towards the end, Sanborn made it. So that that was
- 12:44Speaker 1: that's encouraging there and and that and you're seeing that
- 12:47Speaker 1: show up now. The better that the defensive tackles play,
- 12:51Speaker 1: the better the linebackers are going to play, and and
- 12:55Speaker 1: maybe vice versa, but it's usually it starts up up
- 12:57Speaker 1: up front there, and I think that if they can
- 13:00Speaker 1: they can play well and let the linebackers get to
- 13:02Speaker 1: the football, that I think the defense has a chance
- 13:04Speaker 1: to be much better this year. Let's go to Derek
- 13:07Speaker 1: in Springfield for the next goal.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Hey, how's it going, Hey Derek?
- 13:12Speaker 1: How are you?
- 13:14Speaker 8: Oh? You know, I'm okay. Actually, it kind of been
- 13:17Speaker 8: a little bit of an emotional morning dropping my three
- 13:20Speaker 8: year old pulled off at a pre preschool and man,
- 13:25Speaker 8: he was loving it until he realized mom and dad
- 13:27Speaker 8: weren't saying yeah, that was That was kind of the
- 13:30Speaker 8: first post time I've had.
- 13:31Speaker 6: To deal with that.
- 13:32Speaker 1: But Darius Rutgers song on that one, if you heard
- 13:37Speaker 1: that one, it won't be like it won't be like
- 13:39Speaker 1: this for long.
- 13:40Speaker 8: Uh.
- 13:41Speaker 1: It goes through the emotions of that. I think that
- 13:43Speaker 1: is an example there. I mean, in a week or
- 13:45Speaker 1: two they won't even know you're there, but which which
- 13:48Speaker 1: then you're going to have the problem, you know what
- 13:50Speaker 1: I mean, Like, then you're gonna be like, wait, wait
- 13:51Speaker 1: a second. I dealt with that at training camp this year.
- 13:54Speaker 1: My five year old was like the iPad was more
- 13:56Speaker 1: important than me, you know, and so it was it
- 14:00Speaker 1: was kind of like, really, you don't miss me. But
- 14:02Speaker 1: then again, that's that's a good thing because you know,
- 14:04Speaker 1: so it hey, parenting, that's all it is. All I
- 14:08Speaker 1: could say there on that one.
- 14:10Speaker 8: Yeah, man for sure, but yeah, to get with my
- 14:13Speaker 8: point on why I was calling and then I'll get
- 14:15Speaker 8: off here. So you know, the last month or so,
- 14:19Speaker 8: I've been like with this whole Micah situation, I've been like, oh,
- 14:24Speaker 8: like the day he was or requested the trade and
- 14:28Speaker 8: have the big long pharograph on his notes sent out
- 14:31Speaker 8: on Twitter. I was like, oh, they'll have a contract
- 14:34Speaker 8: done in ten days, and right, dude, I mean obviously
- 14:38Speaker 8: that's been longer than ten days ago. And I'm starting
- 14:41Speaker 8: to hit the panic button. And you know, I know
- 14:43Speaker 8: people will stay. He's under contract now and we can
- 14:46Speaker 8: franchise him two years in a row. But like, man,
- 14:49Speaker 8: I just don't think Mica is like playing games, and
- 14:53Speaker 8: I don't know, man, I really feel I'm really scared
- 14:56Speaker 8: he's going to hold out, and I just wish it
- 14:58Speaker 8: didn't have to be this way. I know I'm not
- 15:01Speaker 8: writing the check.
- 15:02Speaker 9: I know I'm not the d M, but I mean there's.
- 15:05Speaker 8: A difference in being in shape and football shape, and
- 15:08Speaker 8: just like, even if he does come out and play
- 15:10Speaker 8: against Philly, it's like, dude, I mean I don't feel
- 15:13Speaker 8: like he's going to be in football shape. And it's
- 15:15Speaker 8: just like, I just wish we could have a normal
- 15:18Speaker 8: just off season.
- 15:20Speaker 1: No no, no, the Dallas that star back there now,
- 15:24Speaker 1: this star is normal, but it's not normal.
- 15:28Speaker 8: I guess my question is is are you worried do
- 15:32Speaker 8: you think he still finds does he stay in Dallas,
- 15:35Speaker 8: and I'll leave you with that.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Okay, you know, I get thanks for the call, Derek.
- 15:40Speaker 1: I think that it's fine to worry about the situation
- 15:45Speaker 1: because what you want is you want when the when
- 15:49Speaker 1: the fireworks are done and the smoke, you know, clears,
- 15:53Speaker 1: and they're kicking off in Philadelphia, then you want your
- 15:58Speaker 1: team to be at its very best, because is that
- 16:01Speaker 1: even good enough? That's the question. I mean, is the
- 16:04Speaker 1: Cowboys very best good enough to beat the world champions
- 16:07Speaker 1: right now? I don't know that. I don't. I don't.
- 16:09Speaker 1: You wouldn't think so, you know, based off of last
- 16:12Speaker 1: year and all that, But you don't know what the
- 16:13Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to do this year with the new
- 16:15Speaker 1: staff and new players and all that. But you want
- 16:18Speaker 1: them to be at their best and right now, with
- 16:20Speaker 1: Micah Parsons not practicing and at odds with everything, how's
- 16:25Speaker 1: that going to happen? So I understand the frustration there,
- 16:29Speaker 1: But you got to remember too, like it's all you know,
- 16:32Speaker 1: it's all about leverage. Let's go back to the first
- 16:34Speaker 1: caller here, Randy talking about gambling. You know, when you gamble,
- 16:38Speaker 1: who's who's got the upper hand on this? And Michah
- 16:42Speaker 1: does not have the upper hand on this situation. So
- 16:45Speaker 1: you say he's not playing around, Okay, you think Jerry's
- 16:48Speaker 1: playing like I think Jerry's It seems kind of pissed
- 16:52Speaker 1: off about it. And he holds the cards on this
- 16:55Speaker 1: and he's got better cards than Micah to play because
- 16:59Speaker 1: Mike showed us he's not looking to be fined for
- 17:04Speaker 1: missing training camp practice. So that's why we have a
- 17:08Speaker 1: back injury and he was here and they're not getting fined.
- 17:13Speaker 1: That's I don't even know what the daily fine is,
- 17:17Speaker 1: but it was never going to happen. But I can
- 17:19Speaker 1: tell you he's not gonna miss one point two four
- 17:22Speaker 1: five million for each game week. He's not missing any games.
- 17:26Speaker 1: So we got that part. Okay, he's not gonna miss
- 17:28Speaker 1: any games. Now does it? What if he goes out
- 17:31Speaker 1: and plays and is not Micah Parsons, not the Mica
- 17:36Speaker 1: that we've seen. Two tackles, no sacks, one quarterback pressure,
- 17:41Speaker 1: Cowboys lose. What does that look like for him? Oh? Oh,
- 17:45Speaker 1: this guy wants forty four million dollars and he goes
- 17:47Speaker 1: out and does that. I got a lot of players
- 17:49Speaker 1: that can do that. That's the risk he's got to
- 17:52Speaker 1: take so he can't suck when he's out there. He's
- 17:54Speaker 1: not going to miss time, and when when he's out there,
- 17:57Speaker 1: he's got to be at his best. So that's why
- 18:01Speaker 1: I've always thought this is about the time that we'll
- 18:03Speaker 1: see this. And if you remember last year, I know
- 18:06Speaker 1: that we had a night practice like this like we
- 18:08Speaker 1: have tonight. That's when it went down with CD Lamb
- 18:12Speaker 1: because I know that he was here for one of
- 18:13Speaker 1: those practices and did practice. So this is about the
- 18:16Speaker 1: time that that kind of thing could happen. He's mentioned
- 18:20Speaker 1: it before that he talked to CD that CD said, hey,
- 18:23Speaker 1: you know, I wish I would have gotten in a
- 18:25Speaker 1: little bit sooner. So I didn't. I wasn't as rusty.
- 18:28Speaker 1: He knows all of that. So he can't afford to
- 18:31Speaker 1: miss time, miss a game. Of course, he can't afford
- 18:35Speaker 1: to not play well when he's out there. So that's
- 18:38Speaker 1: why I think you shouldn't worry too much about all
- 18:42Speaker 1: these things. This is about the thirty fifth time this
- 18:45Speaker 1: has happened that I can remember, going all the way
- 18:47Speaker 1: back to the EMMITTT. Smiths and Michael Irvins and situations
- 18:52Speaker 1: like that that happened right before the start of the season.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I just wouldn't worry just yet. And if there is
- 18:58Speaker 1: a player who's a freaking nature that can go out
- 19:01Speaker 1: there and play without practicing a whole lot, I would
- 19:04Speaker 1: put Micah in that category. All right, let's go to
- 19:06Speaker 1: Dylan Northport, Florida. Dylan, how are you doing?
- 19:11Speaker 9: Hey man, I'm doing good on the mic and stuff.
- 19:13Speaker 9: You know, I'm not worried about the deal gameything.
- 19:15Speaker 6: It's done.
- 19:15Speaker 9: That's it's crazy. If it doesn't, maybe one of the
- 19:17Speaker 9: wildest things we've ever seen here. But what I am
- 19:19Speaker 9: worried about is him going out and being the Micah
- 19:23Speaker 9: Parsons who wants to go a million percent every snap,
- 19:26Speaker 9: and you know, he gets like a muscle injury or
- 19:28Speaker 9: a hammy or something, and now he's got to sit
- 19:31Speaker 9: out starver a weeks. And that's my concern. So I
- 19:33Speaker 9: had predicted this was the week that it would get done.
- 19:36Speaker 9: And that's more of me being hopeful in anything else,
- 19:38Speaker 9: because I think having a week of practice under his
- 19:40Speaker 9: belt would really pay dividends as far as his potential
- 19:44Speaker 9: health and being able to play at a high level
- 19:46Speaker 9: against the Eagles. That's not a game you want to
- 19:47Speaker 9: go into and have somebody like Micah have to like,
- 19:51Speaker 9: you know, going slowly and warm up, you gotta start past.
- 19:54Speaker 1: So yeah, for sure.
- 19:56Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 19:57Speaker 9: I also want to talk about the linebackers.
- 19:58Speaker 10: So you guys talked about a couple of calls.
- 19:59Speaker 9: Ago, you know, the moan Clark's best place, and he
- 20:04Speaker 9: had a lot of bad too, So let's not get
- 20:06Speaker 9: too hyped about Clark, but props to him for playing
- 20:08Speaker 9: well after a good training camp. But he still kind
- 20:11Speaker 9: of plays a lot of Patty k kind of sits
- 20:12Speaker 9: back even when there's gaps to fill. But his best
- 20:15Speaker 9: plays seemed to come when Toya was handling those double
- 20:18Speaker 9: teams and had these guys not hit the second level
- 20:22Speaker 9: when he did have those free lanes to run through.
- 20:24Speaker 9: And if there is a strength to this defense, I
- 20:26Speaker 9: think it is going to be the edges and the linebackers.
- 20:28Speaker 9: The unfortunate thing about the linebackers, and I think teams
- 20:31Speaker 9: will see this. Cowboys are hurting at cornerback real bad.
- 20:34Speaker 9: So I think teams are gonna line up in a
- 20:36Speaker 9: lot of packages that force the Cowboys into nicol and
- 20:38Speaker 9: dime and keep those linebackers off the field.
- 20:41Speaker 6: Right.
- 20:41Speaker 9: So again going back to the edges and you Mike
- 20:43Speaker 9: on the field. In that scenario, the Cowboys can go
- 20:45Speaker 9: heavy right with linebackers and some of their safety linebacker
- 20:49Speaker 9: hybrids depend you have mismatches with these receivers. So I'm
- 20:52Speaker 9: excited about the linebackers, but you know they're gonna have
- 20:54Speaker 9: to have some good play from the secondary to see
- 20:56Speaker 9: all these guys in the field too and get these
- 20:58Speaker 9: teams out of these these y packages with these four
- 21:01Speaker 9: five receiver sets.
- 21:02Speaker 1: So you're right. I mean, that's one of those things too,
- 21:05Speaker 1: where you know and and that's a good call. Thanks
- 21:08Speaker 1: Dylan for the call. I appreciate that. You know, that's
- 21:13Speaker 1: interesting because you're right when you look at the the
- 21:16Speaker 1: weaknesses maybe that you see on the defense, you would
- 21:19Speaker 1: just definitely the lack of depth at at cornerback and nickelback.
- 21:23Speaker 1: So spreading them out and exploiting those mismatches is definitely
- 21:28Speaker 1: going to be a thing. You can also say they
- 21:31Speaker 1: can run the football right up the middle and see
- 21:34Speaker 1: what kind of defensive tackle position you have, So you know,
- 21:38Speaker 1: you're you're right about that. I don't know how much
- 21:40Speaker 1: the linebackers are going to are going to be out there.
- 21:42Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to be a cat and mouse game
- 21:44Speaker 1: almost every week because what kind of defenses are you
- 21:48Speaker 1: going to play it? Because I do think that the
- 21:50Speaker 1: linebackers play rather well in coverage. I'm not saying they
- 21:54Speaker 1: could cover receivers, but I I you know, backs out
- 21:57Speaker 1: of the backfield, tight ends carrying them down the field.
- 21:59Speaker 1: They did a pretty nice job with that. So you know,
- 22:03Speaker 1: do you do you play bass packages and and take
- 22:07Speaker 1: your take your chances there, try to stop the run
- 22:09Speaker 1: and then you know, try not to get killed in
- 22:11Speaker 1: the passing game. Are you gonna play a lot of
- 22:13Speaker 1: nickel and then see what happened to them? Then what
- 22:15Speaker 1: kind of pass rushures are you gonna have? Because we've
- 22:17Speaker 1: seen a lot of defensive ends that are moving inside
- 22:20Speaker 1: to play. I saw Sam Williams line up inside with
- 22:23Speaker 1: as a Rock who on the outside. We'll definitely see
- 22:26Speaker 1: Marshawn Neelan, who's a defensive end, playing some on the inside.
- 22:29Speaker 1: So they're gonna get their pass rushures in there. So
- 22:31Speaker 1: you know, from that standpoint on third and six, third
- 22:34Speaker 1: and seven, I like that, but they better get home
- 22:37Speaker 1: because because of the lack of experience you have in
- 22:40Speaker 1: the secondary, So that that's a big question mark there
- 22:43Speaker 1: is how they played. I thought you'd make a really
- 22:45Speaker 1: good point. They're doing all right. Let's go to our
- 22:47Speaker 1: first break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back
- 22:50Speaker 1: after this.

- 24:15Speaker 1: Storyline team for second, third or honorable mention, I believe
- 24:19Speaker 1: is what landed them. That reminds me Brian and Kansas City.
- 24:24Speaker 1: I know you still haven't gotten yours yet because if
- 24:25Speaker 1: we had a we had a typo in the in
- 24:27Speaker 1: the address. But we will get it to you, uh soon.
- 24:32Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Chuck d in Bridge City.
- 24:34Speaker 1: He's been holding I think he also has one of
- 24:37Speaker 1: these mugs as well. Chuck, what's up?
- 24:40Speaker 12: What's up? Nick?
- 24:41Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 24:42Speaker 12: I love it?
- 24:43Speaker 1: Yeah? All right, man? How are you the blue?
- 24:48Speaker 12: I'm good? Uh.
- 24:50Speaker 6: I wanted to bring this up.
- 24:52Speaker 12: I'm worried that we're not going to get our two
- 24:55Speaker 12: tackles and have our enough chemistry with our starting line
- 25:01Speaker 12: if we even get them before the Eagles. How important
- 25:05Speaker 12: profit the line? Yeah? Or to you know, still in
- 25:09Speaker 12: guiding to have some sort of chemistry gone because we
- 25:12Speaker 12: can't run the ball in preseason. I know it's preseason,
- 25:14Speaker 12: but I sure would like to see them all together
- 25:17Speaker 12: and go to some sort of yeah the poor. That
- 25:19Speaker 12: way we can get to the front of him, gain gone,
- 25:21Speaker 12: because if Deck's on his back, it don't matter who
- 25:23Speaker 12: he's throwing the ball to do nothing.
- 25:27Speaker 1: No, I get it. I think Steele is gonna be fine.
- 25:30Speaker 1: I mean, he'll be ready to go. I actually was. Uh.
- 25:33Speaker 1: I just saw Guydon on the field working out right now,
- 25:36Speaker 1: and he talked a little bit yesterday in the locker room,
- 25:38Speaker 1: and you know, it looks encouraging for him to be
- 25:42Speaker 1: He's going to be right there. It's gonna be close.
- 25:44Speaker 1: I think the big question they're going to have is
- 25:46Speaker 1: do you put Tyler Guyton out there without a lot
- 25:49Speaker 1: of practice or really any practice, or do you go
- 25:52Speaker 1: with the you know, with the rookie there you know,
- 25:56Speaker 1: is he is he going to be able to be
- 25:59Speaker 1: the guy left tackle? You know, he's never even played.
- 26:03Speaker 12: Yeah. And the other thing I saw was Shady said
- 26:07Speaker 12: you might see some pri surprise cuts. I don't know
- 26:10Speaker 12: if some muy's talking about this or not yet, but
- 26:13Speaker 12: did you see that being somebody like Mausie. I know
- 26:15Speaker 12: he's a first rounder, but that'd be a definitely a
- 26:17Speaker 12: surprise cut.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, I mean anytime you you lose a
- 26:22Speaker 1: first round pick. I mean, and he doesn't make it
- 26:27Speaker 1: past what this would be two years. I mean, if
- 26:29Speaker 1: he doesn't make the team, that would be that'd be
- 26:31Speaker 1: a surprise. I just don't see I don't see that
- 26:35Speaker 1: happening though. I just don't see him not being on
- 26:37Speaker 1: the team. I mean, I think he may not be
- 26:40Speaker 1: the starter, but I like how many guys are are
- 26:45Speaker 1: better than him, Like, like, I just don't see it.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I mean, who, who's gonna Who's gonna make the team
- 26:50Speaker 1: over him unless they get a surplus of defensive tackles
- 26:54Speaker 1: that are on the street and cut and available. But
- 26:56Speaker 1: I just I'm not seeing it.
- 26:59Speaker 12: Yeah either. I was just trying to be I guess
- 27:01Speaker 12: messy and start something there because I've read it online.
- 27:04Speaker 12: But yeah, yeah, I don't see it happening either.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, all right, man, thanks for the call, Chuck,
- 27:11Speaker 1: appreciate it. All right, let's keep this train moving here.
- 27:16Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the line th Fresno, California. We
- 27:20Speaker 1: got Brandon, What up?
- 27:22Speaker 12: Nick?
- 27:22Speaker 7: What's going on?
- 27:23Speaker 6: Man?
- 27:23Speaker 1: But how are you doing?
- 27:25Speaker 12: Oh?
- 27:25Speaker 7: You know, just working, hanging in there, ready to get
- 27:27Speaker 7: this season started.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Yep.
- 27:30Speaker 7: Yeah, I started the Netflix show, so it's pretty good already,
- 27:34Speaker 7: just like ten minutes into, I'm already injured.
- 27:36Speaker 1: So yeah, good.
- 27:39Speaker 7: But I was watching a couple of interviews and stuff.
- 27:41Speaker 7: But I seen Clarence talking to him, and I know
- 27:43Speaker 7: everybody's always talking about Mike and everything, but the way
- 27:46Speaker 7: Emmy explained to his contract and people are trying to
- 27:49Speaker 7: compare the two is just like totally different. So I mean,
- 27:52Speaker 7: to me, and Micah needs to play. Uh, You've got
- 27:55Speaker 7: to play, so I mean, and then we'll figure it
- 27:57Speaker 7: out from there. But everybody concerned about Mike. I'm worried
- 28:01Speaker 7: about the running back Nick. I know we have a
- 28:04Speaker 7: blue I know he's kind of hurt, but I want
- 28:06Speaker 7: to see who's going to be the one too, munch
- 28:08Speaker 7: or what are we going to do from there? I,
- 28:11Speaker 7: like I said, I'm really concerned about that. We're gonna
- 28:14Speaker 7: see tickets, we're gonna see CD you know they're gonna
- 28:16Speaker 7: go off and everything, but I just want to see
- 28:19Speaker 7: that running game. I want to see what that's like.
- 28:22Speaker 7: I mean, I know we haven't gonna really real look
- 28:24Speaker 7: at it, but I just wanted to know your thoughts
- 28:26Speaker 7: on that. And I always ask you a number, but
- 28:29Speaker 7: this time I wanted to know where where were you
- 28:33Speaker 7: when an't broke the record and if you had a
- 28:35Speaker 7: story about that.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome, all right, thanks for the call. We'll talk
- 28:40Speaker 1: running game here. Thanks Brandon. We never broke the record.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I was in the press box at Texas Stadium watching,
- 28:48Speaker 1: you know, just kind of keeping track on it as well.
- 28:50Speaker 1: And I think the interesting part about the play was
- 28:55Speaker 1: he was ten yards from the record and he got
- 29:00Speaker 1: right at ten. It wasn't like he got thirty five
- 29:03Speaker 1: and he it was. That's why if you listen to
- 29:06Speaker 1: the call from Brad Sham, he's like right at the mark,
- 29:09Speaker 1: because you know, are they giving him ten as the
- 29:12Speaker 1: stat crew going to give him ten ors this nine?
- 29:13Speaker 1: Is it second and one or is it first and ten?
- 29:15Speaker 1: You know, so it was right there, and so I
- 29:19Speaker 1: think I think they gave him maybe eleven. So he
- 29:22Speaker 1: got it. But the very next play, after all of that,
- 29:26Speaker 1: after all of the you know, everyone's got him, they
- 29:28Speaker 1: stopped the game and all this stuff, he's hugging Moose
- 29:31Speaker 1: and Irving and everyone on the sideline. I'm pretty sure
- 29:34Speaker 1: the very next play he got stopped for no gain
- 29:36Speaker 1: and he almost lost the record right then and there.
- 29:39Speaker 1: It ended up getting more yards after that. But that's
- 29:41Speaker 1: what I remember about the game, and I've always said
- 29:45Speaker 1: it's one of the most I mean this game is
- 29:50Speaker 1: this is the show Cowboys storyline. There were more storylines
- 29:53Speaker 1: in that game that I can remember in just about
- 29:58Speaker 1: any other I mean it it was overshadowed completely by
- 30:02Speaker 1: the fact that you had Immit's breaking the record. But
- 30:06Speaker 1: if it would also be considered the you know, oh
- 30:09Speaker 1: that was the game that you know, you can you
- 30:11Speaker 1: could have three other things. Of course, Darren Woodson set
- 30:14Speaker 1: the record for most tackles in Cowboys history, broke the
- 30:17Speaker 1: record that day. A lot of people forget about that.
- 30:22Speaker 1: He almost I mean he knocked Woodson knock Darryl Jackson
- 30:25Speaker 1: into I mean basically into a seizure. He hit him
- 30:29Speaker 1: so hard he got a seventy five thousand dollars fine.
- 30:33Speaker 1: That was also the first game Chad Hutchinson started and
- 30:35Speaker 1: took over for for Quincy Carter. That made the change
- 30:40Speaker 1: for that game as well, so that you know, of course,
- 30:42Speaker 1: changing quarterback to the middle of the season is a
- 30:43Speaker 1: big deal, but most of it gets overshadowed by the
- 30:46Speaker 1: Imitte stuff. So that's where I was, and that's what
- 30:48Speaker 1: I remember about that game. Cowboys lose to the Seahawks
- 30:51Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen something like that. Close. All right, let's go
- 30:55Speaker 1: to next Rob Robin, Vegas.
- 30:58Speaker 4: What's up, hey, Mack?
- 30:59Speaker 1: How's thowing?
- 31:02Speaker 13: I'm good the Mazie talk. Let's say so, Mazi is
- 31:06Speaker 13: that piece of crap car you drive to work every day?
- 31:10Speaker 1: Where are we going here?
- 31:11Speaker 13: You know you want to get a new one, but
- 31:14Speaker 13: it's better than walking. And you know, let's face it,
- 31:18Speaker 13: you've got nobody else, So I mean, why get rid
- 31:21Speaker 13: of him?
- 31:21Speaker 1: Right? That's where I am on that. I mean, I
- 31:23Speaker 1: don't I don't have to start him and play him,
- 31:25Speaker 1: but you know he needs he doesn't have any.
- 31:29Speaker 14: That's the key.
- 31:30Speaker 13: Find somebody that is better, so he plays less. I mean,
- 31:35Speaker 13: that's the only thing I could hope for. You know,
- 31:38Speaker 13: I don't watch a lot of preseason football, but I
- 31:41Speaker 13: got you know, my my wife's away on business. I'm
- 31:44Speaker 13: home by my society. Throw the games on, and I
- 31:47Speaker 13: am as a Cowboys fan, I'm a I think this
- 31:50Speaker 13: team may have jumped to shark the Cowboys. And the
- 31:55Speaker 13: reason why I say that is when I look around
- 31:57Speaker 13: the league. You know, a few years ago, we may
- 31:59Speaker 13: be had to get passed two teams, three teams. Now
- 32:04Speaker 13: I look and it's like you got Philly Washington. The
- 32:07Speaker 13: Rams look good, Detroit Packers, and I watched the Bears
- 32:12Speaker 13: that I know they Buffalo, it was like thirty. But
- 32:16Speaker 13: the team looks different. Ben Johnson, you know, Ben Johnson
- 32:21Speaker 13: is you know, let's say a lot of us wanted
- 32:23Speaker 13: Ben Johnson. He looked like he's got Caleb Williams playing
- 32:27Speaker 13: really good. I just think Jerry didn't do enough. It's
- 32:31Speaker 13: funny to keep up with the Joneses. Yeah, you know,
- 32:34Speaker 13: I just I just don't think he did enough. He
- 32:37Speaker 13: bringing him Pickens is nice and you know, but he's
- 32:42Speaker 13: the icing on the cake. But we have no cake.
- 32:45Speaker 13: The defensive line looks as bad as it did last year,
- 32:51Speaker 13: maybe worse. The outside looks good. The middles weak offensive line.
- 32:57Speaker 13: Who knows running game? You know, who knows? Miles Sanders
- 33:02Speaker 13: definitely doesn't look like the guy to me, he's.
- 33:05Speaker 14: Got to go.
- 33:05Speaker 13: He runs too too soft. He looks like a guy
- 33:09Speaker 13: that doesn't want it anymore. Give me to give me
- 33:12Speaker 13: the young, hungry guys. But as a fan, I'm you know,
- 33:15Speaker 13: I hope for the best, but I just think this
- 33:18Speaker 13: this team just jumped the shark. It looks in my eyes,
- 33:22Speaker 13: I hope, I hope they proved me wrong.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean the Miles Sanders thing about you know,
- 33:28Speaker 1: he looks like a guy that doesn't want it or whatever.
- 33:31Speaker 1: I mean, you know, give you said take the young
- 33:35Speaker 1: hungry guy who Jayden Blue because he doesn't look I
- 33:39Speaker 1: mean like we're gonoff of looks and all that. Jayden
- 33:43Speaker 1: Blue wouldn't wouldn't be the guy for you either. I'm
- 33:47Speaker 1: just all I'm trying to say is is that I
- 33:49Speaker 1: don't know what you could have seen or not seen.
- 33:53Speaker 1: To say, just this is not just used as anybody.
- 33:57Speaker 1: How do we form an opinion about this? It's I
- 34:01Speaker 1: watch you agree Washington Cincinnati game. They got starters in
- 34:04Speaker 1: the game. The Cowboys don't do that.
- 34:06Speaker 13: So and that's and to me, I listen, I watched
- 34:09Speaker 13: Chicago and it's very similar to Dallas. You got a
- 34:12Speaker 13: whole new coaching staff, and what does this guy do
- 34:16Speaker 13: He plays his starters? H nothing like it may not
- 34:20Speaker 13: be real in the in the regular season, but when
- 34:23Speaker 13: you win, I think it was thirty eight nothing, you
- 34:25Speaker 13: feel good about yourself. There's nobody on this Cowboys team
- 34:29Speaker 13: that feels good, right, you can't. After those two performances,
- 34:33Speaker 13: the coaching staff's got to be looking at themselves like,
- 34:35Speaker 13: oh my god. And we don't know. And I don't
- 34:37Speaker 13: know why you don't try to build up some kind
- 34:40Speaker 13: of good feelings. I know, these injuries. If these guys
- 34:44Speaker 13: are getting hurt just walking on the practice field, so
- 34:48Speaker 13: give me something in the game. And now it's too late.
- 34:50Speaker 13: They're not going to do it Friday because there's there's
- 34:53Speaker 13: too short of a time if somebody does twisted ankle.
- 34:56Speaker 13: I just I just like I said, this coach was
- 34:59Speaker 13: supposed to change the culture, I see the same culture.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Well, okay, thanks for the call. I don't. I don't
- 35:08Speaker 1: know if you can see culture, you know. I mean,
- 35:12Speaker 1: that's that's the thing, especially from the outside. And and
- 35:15Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna sit here and say you're wrong,
- 35:19Speaker 1: you're wrong or whatever that's great, because it it doesn't
- 35:22Speaker 1: look great, but it to me, it's I'm still neutral.
- 35:26Speaker 1: I mean, nothing has started yet. I don't I've seen it.
- 35:31Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to be the old guy here
- 35:34Speaker 1: even though I am. But I've seen every scenario you
- 35:38Speaker 1: can possibly think of when it comes to the preseason.
- 35:42Speaker 1: I've seen undefeated preseasons, they didn't do anything. I've seen
- 35:46Speaker 1: winless preseasons turned out. Okay, I've seen I've seen things
- 35:50Speaker 1: where you just can't figure anything out from what you've
- 35:54Speaker 1: seen so far. And that's exactly what they want. Remember that, now,
- 35:58Speaker 1: Remember this part is they you don't know what a
- 36:03Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer offense really is going to be. You see,
- 36:06Speaker 1: you can go look at some Seattle stuff, you can
- 36:08Speaker 1: look at some Jets things, you can look at some
- 36:10Speaker 1: of the other places he's been, but you really can't
- 36:13Speaker 1: see it. And you can't look at maybe what Clayton
- 36:15Speaker 1: Adams is trying to do here, and you're a little
- 36:18Speaker 1: bit what they've done with Dak, but you don't have it,
- 36:20Speaker 1: You really don't. And that's exactly what they want. They
- 36:23Speaker 1: don't want you to see anything remotely, you know, anything
- 36:29Speaker 1: that you can look at and go I have an idea,
- 36:32Speaker 1: Philly has an idea what they're gonna do. I mean,
- 36:34Speaker 1: we're talking about the World Champs over here, and they
- 36:38Speaker 1: would rather keep it all hidden and then throw it
- 36:43Speaker 1: out there Thursday night. And does that mean that they're
- 36:45Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be enough. Who knows, who knows, but
- 36:49Speaker 1: that's the plan. So knowing that, I'm not getting too
- 36:53Speaker 1: worked up about what looks good, what doesn't look good.
- 36:57Speaker 1: It's more of an individual standpoint, and an individual you
- 37:00Speaker 1: can say, well, crap, who's the backup quarterback? Because it
- 37:03Speaker 1: can't be this guy, you know, it just can't be.
- 37:06Speaker 1: So that's that's the reason for concern, you know, and
- 37:10Speaker 1: you looking at some of the offensive line, you know
- 37:12Speaker 1: they're not moving the ball. They didn't score touchdown last week.
- 37:15Speaker 1: I thought I thought the backup offensive lineman would be
- 37:17Speaker 1: better than this. I thought they would get to the game.
- 37:20Speaker 1: All those guys have started at some point. I'm surprised
- 37:23Speaker 1: with Austin Richards hasn't taken the next step. I really am.
- 37:26Speaker 1: I thought that Hoffman and bass would would create a
- 37:29Speaker 1: little bit more running, you know, room in there, and
- 37:31Speaker 1: for these backs, we haven't seen it. I thought Phil
- 37:34Speaker 1: Moffa would run the ball more. There might be a
- 37:35Speaker 1: reason for that, him him not getting a lot of opportunities.
- 37:38Speaker 1: But again, I'm I don't want to sit here and
- 37:43Speaker 1: say everything's great, but I can't go with the notion
- 37:46Speaker 1: of you know, I don't feel good about this team
- 37:49Speaker 1: based off of what I've seen. I just feel like
- 37:51Speaker 1: we haven't seen anything yet, and the Cowboys don't want
- 37:53Speaker 1: anyone to see anything yet. All Right, Casey Joe's in
- 37:56Speaker 1: Kansas City, he's next. What's up?
- 37:58Speaker 10: Good morning this morning, How are you doing good? I
- 38:02Speaker 10: want to focus in on the positive, not any negative today.
- 38:05Speaker 10: So I've seen the linebackers. Impressed me that Sanborn James.
- 38:09Speaker 10: They look really good. I was impressed at Childers number
- 38:13Speaker 10: forty six and Harris number forty seven. They both looked
- 38:16Speaker 10: pretty good. And I seen as a Rocky. They were
- 38:21Speaker 10: double teaming him.
- 38:21Speaker 4: The whole game.
- 38:23Speaker 10: He didn't have a chance, not really. And then that
- 38:26Speaker 10: Winfrey that was playing the one tech, I liked him.
- 38:30Speaker 10: I mean he was late in the fourth, but he
- 38:32Speaker 10: looked good. Isn't that where he played in the one deck.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Yep, that's I mean, they don't have a lot of
- 38:37Speaker 1: options there, and so yeah, he's played. I don't think
- 38:41Speaker 1: it's even a expectation thing anymore, you know what I
- 38:44Speaker 1: mean when you see Perry and Winfrey and Mozzi Smith
- 38:47Speaker 1: and you're like, well, he's the first round pick and
- 38:48Speaker 1: he's the guy you never heard of, and then sometimes
- 38:51Speaker 1: you evaluate it based off of expectations. I don't even
- 38:55Speaker 1: think it's that anymore. I really don't. I think Winfrey
- 38:58Speaker 1: has played better than Massie. Not if you just didn't,
- 39:01Speaker 1: if you just didn't know who was who.
- 39:04Speaker 10: Right, No, like I said, and then and then MafA,
- 39:08Speaker 10: I liked what I see all out of him too.
- 39:10Speaker 10: On the offense, even though he didn't get many carries.
- 39:12Speaker 10: But when he did get it, he looked good. I
- 39:14Speaker 10: was like, wow, I was it opened my eyes. I'm like, wow,
- 39:18Speaker 10: I could see him with blue. Yeah, of course we
- 39:20Speaker 10: haven't seen blue. That's kind of you know, but he's
- 39:23Speaker 10: hurt so we won't see him.
- 39:24Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, well you got anything.
- 39:28Speaker 10: Else, No, sir, enjoy the rest of your day.
- 39:31Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it. Joe, thanks a lot. I'm you know,
- 39:36Speaker 1: as I've said before, two screens. I see myself over here,
- 39:39Speaker 1: I see the NFL network, I see Washington and Cincinnati playing,
- 39:44Speaker 1: and it's two fifty four to go in the first quarter,
- 39:48Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow just got horse collared pretty much and
- 39:53Speaker 1: thrown straight to the ground into like face first. No, thanks,
- 39:59Speaker 1: I mean just it's just not it's not necessary for me. Like, like,
- 40:03Speaker 1: I get the point, let's have a little bit of
- 40:06Speaker 1: rhythm and all this kind of stuff, But you're still
- 40:09Speaker 1: gonna go three weeks before you play a game. So
- 40:12Speaker 1: so it the rust you're knocking off, any kind of rust,
- 40:17Speaker 1: it's still going to be back for them. You're gonna
- 40:19Speaker 1: have rust on there. But what you're not gonna have
- 40:22Speaker 1: is an injury that happened in the game. I get it,
- 40:24Speaker 1: it can happen at any time in practice. We've seen it.
- 40:26Speaker 1: But I mean, you have to limit yourself for that,
- 40:29Speaker 1: and it's just not worth it to me. Absolutely not
- 40:33Speaker 1: with this football team. Not not with a backup quarterback
- 40:36Speaker 1: that that you don't trust. You don't know who your
- 40:38Speaker 1: backup is going to be, you don't know, you don't
- 40:40Speaker 1: have any depth, you know. That's the one thing that
- 40:43Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with it. I bet Jerry is too
- 40:45Speaker 1: about Micah Parson is not doing anything good. Don't get
- 40:48Speaker 1: hurt out there, get ready when it's time to get ready,
- 40:51Speaker 1: and fine, if you don't want to be out here,
- 40:53Speaker 1: fine we'll figure it out. And if this is your
- 40:56Speaker 1: your holdout or hold in or whatever it is. But
- 40:58Speaker 1: the best thing is is he's not really having an
- 41:01Speaker 1: opportunity to get hurt. So and that was the same
- 41:03Speaker 1: with CD last year. I remember thinking that, like, well,
- 41:06Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's working out and stuff, but
- 41:08Speaker 1: he's not gonna get hurt, so that's always a good thing.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Let's go to Zach and Germany. I know he still
- 41:13Speaker 1: would need a break, but let's go to Zach and
- 41:14Speaker 1: Germany before we do that. Zach, what's up?
- 41:17Speaker 14: Nick? Carry doo man?
- 41:18Speaker 1: Good?
- 41:18Speaker 14: How are you good? Good points that you're just making.
- 41:23Speaker 14: I see both sides as well. When it comes to that.
- 41:25Speaker 14: You don't want to you don't want your guys to
- 41:26Speaker 14: play scared. But I also see the other sense of urgency.
- 41:29Speaker 14: We have two division opponents opening up our schedule. If
- 41:33Speaker 14: we start out flat, it could be a problem. But
- 41:36Speaker 14: at the same time, you can't lose your quarterback, so
- 41:38Speaker 14: get I get both sides. The question I have for
- 41:40Speaker 14: you the running back room scares me. I know Javonte
- 41:44Speaker 14: is likely to be the one, but if Nick was
- 41:47Speaker 14: GM today, would you take a third and maybe Tolbert
- 41:50Speaker 14: and try to go get a guy from maybe New
- 41:54Speaker 14: York or a guy from Jacksonville area. I won't say
- 41:59Speaker 14: these names, but these guys that are on that last
- 42:01Speaker 14: year of a contract. They had a high end talent,
- 42:03Speaker 14: it didn't work out where they're at. Is that something
- 42:05Speaker 14: you would ever consider?
- 42:07Speaker 1: Are you?
- 42:07Speaker 14: And the reason I bring that up?
- 42:09Speaker 6: Good?
- 42:10Speaker 1: Are you saying like go down the hall type of thing?
- 42:14Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 42:15Speaker 14: I would probably go down the hall, you know, and uh,
- 42:17Speaker 14: you know, see see what's going on down there.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Good luck with the other one. I don't even know.
- 42:21Speaker 1: I think I know you're talking about that. Yeah, yeah, maybe,
- 42:26Speaker 1: I mean, but I feel like they kind of those
- 42:31Speaker 1: guys are more dynamic, there's no doubt about it, than
- 42:33Speaker 1: what you have with Davonte Williams. I think if you
- 42:37Speaker 1: were to do that, I think that's more of a hey,
- 42:39Speaker 1: we're going to replace Miles Sanders here, and the rookies
- 42:43Speaker 1: aren't ready because Jayon Blue hasn't done anything yet, so
- 42:46Speaker 1: he may not be ready. Maybe your third back and
- 42:49Speaker 1: and that's all you know, so you maybe you need
- 42:51Speaker 1: a second one. Yeah, I would be I would be
- 42:55Speaker 1: fine with something like that. I think that's look at it.
- 42:58Speaker 14: It reminds me of a couple of years ago. Remember
- 43:00Speaker 14: we had the wide receiver by committee and then we
- 43:02Speaker 14: had to go get you know, Cooper very similar, obviously
- 43:05Speaker 14: different position. Now running backs in today's systems, of course,
- 43:09Speaker 14: you know you now have two or three. But those
- 43:12Speaker 14: guys that think the talent is still there, they're young,
- 43:15Speaker 14: you know, They, like I said, just didn't pan out.
- 43:16Speaker 14: And we're used to throwing away fourths at this point anyway.
- 43:19Speaker 14: So if you have a third or fourth, you know,
- 43:21Speaker 14: take the gamble, get a guy that has some talent,
- 43:24Speaker 14: because I mean, the biggest fear I have is what
- 43:27Speaker 14: happens if Gavante isn't good, right, if his knees aren't
- 43:30Speaker 14: what they were or those things. Now we're you know,
- 43:32Speaker 14: now we're really scrambling and hoping either a MafA or
- 43:36Speaker 14: you know, Jayden Blue comes back, and you know, just
- 43:38Speaker 14: just just the thought.
- 43:40Speaker 6: So I want to get your.
- 43:40Speaker 14: Thoughts on that. And then if you have any input
- 43:42Speaker 14: on the linebackers. I thought they looked good. I was
- 43:46Speaker 14: impressed with some of the play across the board. Just
- 43:48Speaker 14: want to get your feedback. And the last thing before
- 43:50Speaker 14: I hang up, are you really surprised that Sean Lee
- 43:53Speaker 14: never went into coaching. I was thinking about this the
- 43:55Speaker 14: other day and I was like I always thought when
- 43:57Speaker 14: he retired he was just going to come back and coach.
- 44:00Speaker 14: I'm just really surprised. If you have any influence on
- 44:02Speaker 14: Sean Lee, just share with the group.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. Well, I know this. He's living out
- 44:08Speaker 1: in California and he's and he's doing great out there,
- 44:11Speaker 1: and he's enjoying not playing football and not doing a
- 44:15Speaker 1: whole lot of anything. So if you look at the
- 44:18Speaker 1: hours that coaches put in, that doesn't really surprise you.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Could he be a coach, of course he could be
- 44:24Speaker 1: a coach. He'd be a great coach. Does he want
- 44:26Speaker 1: to put the hours in that it takes to be
- 44:28Speaker 1: a coach? Nah, not necessarily. And that's that's where I think.
- 44:32Speaker 1: I haven't really talked him about that. I know he
- 44:34Speaker 1: dabbled into scouting and stuff like that, but I think
- 44:37Speaker 1: that he enjoys being in California and being doing what
- 44:40Speaker 1: he's doing, and those those hours are are pretty healthy,
- 44:44Speaker 1: uh healthy hours, and and I just don't know if
- 44:47Speaker 1: that's that's around. I'm not saying that he will never
- 44:49Speaker 1: get back into it, but uh, I think for where
- 44:51Speaker 1: he stands right now, that doesn't seem like an option.
- 44:54Speaker 1: As for the linebackers that are playing, yeah, they they
- 44:57Speaker 1: they've done well. We've talked about that, and then the
- 44:59Speaker 1: running backs. You know, I think Davante's getting this opportunity.
- 45:03Speaker 1: I'm not ready to kind of pull the plug on
- 45:06Speaker 1: Miles Sanders just yet. I know he played a little bit,
- 45:08Speaker 1: but you know, I want to see that offensive line,
- 45:11Speaker 1: all of them together, and then not only that, it's
- 45:14Speaker 1: not just the offensive line, but because some of them
- 45:16Speaker 1: were playing, it's CD and Pickens and Ferguson. That's gonna
- 45:20Speaker 1: help your running game. They has to. There's no way
- 45:23Speaker 1: that you're gonna be okay just lining up, you know,
- 45:26Speaker 1: one on one out there and not worrying about anything else.
- 45:28Speaker 1: That running game has got to be much better. And
- 45:31Speaker 1: I think it will be because of the threat that
- 45:34Speaker 1: you're gonna have. It might be a pass to run situation,
- 45:37Speaker 1: but whatever it takes, I think that's gonna happen. You
- 45:39Speaker 1: get all the pieces out here, I think the running
- 45:41Speaker 1: game is gonna look different. It's like one quick, short
- 45:44Speaker 1: mini break here on Cowboy Story one and be right back.

- 47:13Speaker 6: Hey?
- 47:13Speaker 5: What's up?
- 47:13Speaker 12: Nick?
- 47:13Speaker 5: And Frisco? How are you?
- 47:14Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 47:16Speaker 5: I'm doing well.
- 47:17Speaker 11: Man.
- 47:17Speaker 5: Haven't listened to the show. So this may have been
- 47:20Speaker 5: talked about, but Deep Blue the Wall two point zero
- 47:24Speaker 5: came out. Fantastic documentary. Shout out to everyone. I saw
- 47:28Speaker 5: your name on the credits too. It was so good. Yeah,
- 47:32Speaker 5: I think I think it's got everything. Yeah, so good.
- 47:35Speaker 5: I think it's got everybody nostalgic because I've seen on Twitter,
- 47:38Speaker 5: you know, they're talking about did fourteen have the best chance? Sixteen?
- 47:41Speaker 5: We're talking about oh seven again even I mean I'll
- 47:45Speaker 5: throw in like maybe twenty twenty two or twenty three.
- 47:48Speaker 5: Those were great teams as well. I'm curious what your
- 47:52Speaker 5: thoughts are on which of those teams likely had the
- 47:55Speaker 5: best chance, not just team, but the best chance with
- 47:58Speaker 5: kind of how the season played out. I personally think
- 48:02Speaker 5: it was twenty fourteen because you had the crosshairs of
- 48:05Speaker 5: the line and Romo at his mental prime of the game.
- 48:10Speaker 5: You know, seven he was slinging it, but he was young.
- 48:14Speaker 5: I mean, Cabo, you know, maybe that doesn't happen, Yeah,
- 48:18Speaker 5: it didn't happen in twenty fourteen, right, Yeah, I think
- 48:21Speaker 5: he was just locked in in a different way. In
- 48:23Speaker 5: twenty fourteen. The defense was not as stout, but I
- 48:28Speaker 5: just think there was that was probably the best chance.
- 48:30Speaker 5: They were eight and zero on the road that year too,
- 48:33Speaker 5: went to Seattle, played it close in Green Bay, if
- 48:37Speaker 5: not for the few you know, miscues of the fumble
- 48:39Speaker 5: in the desk plays.
- 48:40Speaker 6: So that's my thought.
- 48:42Speaker 5: I think each each year has a case to build,
- 48:45Speaker 5: but I think twenty fourteen was was the one that
- 48:48Speaker 5: kind of hurts my heart a little bit.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, fourteen and sixteen they're they're they're pretty
- 48:54Speaker 1: much pretty much the same eye got to we gotta
- 48:56Speaker 1: roll it. So I don't know if you have another
- 48:58Speaker 1: call a question.
- 48:59Speaker 5: Both that's the man A good one.
- 49:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, well, if O seven is included, I
- 49:05Speaker 1: mean O seven was their best chances. It was their
- 49:07Speaker 1: best team, and they were just so talented, and you know,
- 49:10Speaker 1: there's a lot of little things there. I mean, one
- 49:13Speaker 1: play maybe changes that whole game. Go to fourteen, one
- 49:17Speaker 1: play probably changes that game too. But I think their
- 49:21Speaker 1: best chance to make it to the Super Bowl was
- 49:23Speaker 1: probably sixteen because they had home field advantage and even
- 49:28Speaker 1: though they had the rookies, the way that they were playing.
- 49:31Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, if they had beaten,
- 49:34Speaker 1: if the does catch game, if they go and they
- 49:37Speaker 1: still figure out a way to stop Aaron Rodgers win
- 49:39Speaker 1: the game, they got to go to Seattle again. They've
- 49:41Speaker 1: already won once. Do you like the chances of going
- 49:44Speaker 1: to beat them again? That would have been tough. If
- 49:46Speaker 1: in sixteen, if they win that game somehow and beat
- 49:49Speaker 1: the Packers, then they got the Falcons at home. I
- 49:52Speaker 1: think they can win that and go to the super Bowl.
- 49:54Speaker 1: So I think sixteen over fourteen does it matter? No,
- 49:58Speaker 1: that doesn't. But it's just something fun to talk about it,
- 50:00Speaker 1: I guess. But you know, you'd like to be able
- 50:03Speaker 1: to talk more about, you know, more recent things. I
- 50:05Speaker 1: get it. It's still always fun to talk about. And
- 50:07Speaker 1: you're right about Deep Blue. They absolutely crushed it. They
- 50:11Speaker 1: did a great job. I'm talking about that team of Amber,
- 50:16Speaker 1: Alex Josh. They they were awesome. Yeah, I was on
- 50:18Speaker 1: the credits but down there a little bit. Those three
- 50:21Speaker 1: were phenomenal and and they really told a great story
- 50:25Speaker 1: that everybody you know, everybody loves them, so it was.
- 50:29Speaker 1: It was one of the best. My favorite Deep Blues
- 50:32Speaker 1: that we've that we've done, and just the fact that
- 50:34Speaker 1: those three linemen h cooperated like they did to sit
- 50:37Speaker 1: down and come in and do it was was amazing.
- 50:39Speaker 1: So anyways, we're not done with Deep Blue. We got
- 50:41Speaker 1: one more Thursday. Coach Joe Avazano, I think you're gonna
- 50:44Speaker 1: enjoy that one as well.
- 50:46Speaker 7: All right.
