  Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Cowboys.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Good morning, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: here Monday, January the eighth, twenty twenty four, and the
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys are your NFC East champions, number two seed
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. This is the this is the goal
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: in mind all year long, is to get the NFC
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: East title, of course, and you want to be the
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: number one seed and get the bye, but that didn't happen.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: But best thing you get number best thing after that
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: is to get number two and you know, be at
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: home for two weeks. I definitely gonna be home for
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: two weeks now. And it doesn't mean you're gonna get
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: two games, but you're gonna be home for sure. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Cowboys packers see it here on the screen here Sunday
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: at three thirty at at and T Stadium. Everything just
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: kind of went the way it was supposed to go yesterday.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, I don't know what what
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you guys were rooting for as far as the opponent
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: matchup and all that. I mean had to start with
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys with the win. Eagles loss was fine too,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: even though it really didn't matter after the Cowboys win,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: but I think watching them lose, I mean, everybody gets
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: excited about that. And then then after that, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: it just comes down to a preference and they're all
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: going to be good. I mean, everybody is going to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: give the Cowboys, you know, I would think a tough game.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I think if you play you know, they played green Bay,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: but if you had to play the Rams, you had
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: to play Seattle, even the Saints. I mean, everyone presents
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a different challenge. But when Gilmour was walking off the field,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: when they're holding his arm and you're like, okay, playing
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the Rams without Gilmour and you already lost digs, that
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: didn't seem like a great, you know, great plan. So
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: when the Rams won and you ended up being with
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the Packers, I think that's the better matchup. Obviously, green
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Bay is going to be tough in their own way,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: but I think it just all kind of worked out.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: So all right, thirty eight to ten Cowboys, we'll talk
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: about that, we'll talk about what it means moving forward.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: We'll talk anything you want. Eight eight eight eight five
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: five two two nine seven. You can text a eight
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight. Let's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: get us started off before before we do, hold on,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: before we do, I want to mention one thing real
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: quick before we kind of get going here on if
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you watch the last Friday show and you saw we
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: did the ticket giveaway with Shelby and Virginia since was
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: able to provide two tickets, we had the trivia question.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: It was a pretty tough question. I thought Mark and
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Philadelph if you answered it, he was able to go
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to the game. We were there, we got to see
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: both of them. They sat together, We took a photo
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: with them. Chris Bean was there with me and so
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: we were able to get a nice photo on there
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: on the field, and they had a great game and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: a great seat to me, really awesome seats. They're right
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: by the Cowboys tunnel and it was it was awesome.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: A lot of touchdowns happened right in front of them,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: so good good times for the for them, and it
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: was awesome for Cowboys storyline to be able to kind
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: of help with that. So that was really one of
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: the most enjoyable moments we've had on the show so far,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad it kind of all worked out. So
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: really cool stuff. All right, Michael, and Colton, California is
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: our first caller, Michael, what's up?
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: What's going on? Shut up to the whole Cowboys nation.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Thank you for having me on.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Hey, I just I just want to say, how about
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: them Cowboys?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Nick?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: And also I just think, you know, you know, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: have pauled and you know, and and said I had
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: my doubts whatever. But I'm gonna be the first to say,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: you know, Dak Prescott went out went out there and
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: balled out. And I heard I heard another show last
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: night the people saying, oh, it wasn't a quality opponent.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, they're all professionals there
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: any given Sunday, anybody could beat anybody. So I'm not
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: trying to hear that. I just want to say, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I'm rooting for the Cowboys, and I just think it's
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: it's it's pretty awesome to see the complete turn of events.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: You know, we went from those two losses in Buffalo
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: and Miami and man, I'm not gonna lie. Man, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: was a nace there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I love my Cowboys and I'm rocking with them all day.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: I don't care good or not. I'm still rocking with them,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: you know. But it's just been cool to see the
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: complete turnaround. And I would say, right now, we have
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: the balls in our court. It couldn't have played out
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: any other way, you know what I'm saying, any other
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: better way, excuse me, and the balls in our court,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: and I would like to see the Cowboys capitalize on that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: And Dak Prescott, Man, I'm rooting for you, man, And
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I know my opinion probably don't mean nothing, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: but I'm rooting for him, and and I'm just I'm
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: loving it right now. Man. I'm high on the Cowboys
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: right now. Man, straight up, Let's go Cowboys, And thank you,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: thanks for.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Having thanks man, appreciate it. Good starting way to way
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: to get it rolling. Loving on Dak Prescott right now.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: He's had a it was a heck of a turnaround
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: this year. I mean it really was. I mean he
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: he he led the league in interceptions last season and
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: now he led the league in touchdowns.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: That's that's the that's the stat you want to be
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: first in. He's second in I think quarterback rating and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and with a one oh five nine one, five, three
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: some something like that. That's how he finished, which is
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the second highest in in Cowboys history as well, behind
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: one year that Romo had, but second highest and career
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: high for for for Dak. So I mean, just an
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: unbelievable turnaround. Uh, give a lot of credit to Dak.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: He doesn't listen to you guys. He doesn't listen to us.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: He doesn't listen to the naysayers. He doesn't listen to
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the people, you know, to to some of the positive stuff.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: He really doesn't. He kind of he understands that, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: what's in front of him and has a belief on
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: how to get there. And you know, you got to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: give him and Mike McCarthy and this whole coaching staff,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: you know that they were able to kind of turn
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: things around for him in a major way. It's really
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: been awesome, all right, Anthony and Seattle's our next caller, Hey, Nick,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: how you doing this good?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: I'm doing well? Man? Hey man. Again, just like all
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Cowboys fans, just really happy that we didn't go in
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: there and play with our food. We went in there,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: took care of business, got things done, and now we
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: can get ready for when real football gets ready to hit,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: which is the playoffs. What's interesting about this is I
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: was starting to see a lot of narratives that have
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: come through, and I wanted to get your thoughts on it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: So Mike McCarthy when he first took over in twenty twenty,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: you know, abysmal season, right, not the start that we wanted,
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: you know, and obviously not for a lot of teams.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: You know, COVID was a big issue at that time.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: But over the next three seasons, twelve wins, right, twelve
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: wins each season. Just a few weeks ago, they were
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: talking about the possibility of a Mike McCarthy extension. They
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: also mentioned the same thing with Dak Prescott. And now
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, I'm starting to see a lot
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: of narratives that's coming through that's saying that Mike McCarty
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: is on the hot seat, And I'm kind of confused.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Are you hearing that too? Can you?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I Mean everyone said.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Like yeah, like, but but I don't understand that, like
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: if I mean, we've been through the Jason Garrett administration
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: where we went through numbers of eight and eight seasons, man,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: and when we got a coach that can consistently win
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: twelve wins for the past three years. That's that's not easy. Man.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: If it was easy, every coach would be doing it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So how about how about any coach would do it
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: right in Cowboy's history. Nobody in history of the Cowboys,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: not not Landry, not Jimmy, not Switz or not Parcel.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Nobody has done that. So so yeah, so Nick to that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: So to that point, they asked Jerry about it, right,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: and you know, I know Jerry has to give you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: a and it almost felt like it was a motivating answer, right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: It was like it was like, if if you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: what do you think of Mike Mcca. I can't remember
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: the exact question I'm paraphrasing, but in essense, he just said,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: we just got to see how the playoff games go.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, okay, I get that, but is this
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: not the coach you want coaching your team moving forward?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: He also says it's umber his Mike's numbers speak for themselves,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you know, he did.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: He did say that.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: You know, he doesn't really want to want to answer
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of the questions like that right right now,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: you know, because everyone's going to have a different mindset
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: when it ends, Harvard ends whatever. But I mean, I
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: don't think you can ignore what he's done and so far.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: You know, twelve wins and three and you know, back
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: to back to back seasons is unheard of here and
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: and it and it speaks to the level of consistency
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: that Jerry is looking for. This is the higher Jerry
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: made because he wanted them to be at that level
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and they are. And so there's one thing right now
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: that he hasn't been able to do, and that's be
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: better than San Francisco. You know, that's it. You're not
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: better than San Francisco and that and that that has
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: been the issue. But I don't think you fire a
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: coach because he's not better than one team. I think
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you go and you try to get better than that team.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: And so that's what I think.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate that, Nick, And you know, if everything
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: plays out, we'll find out who's a better team against
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: San Francisco when we meet a NSC championship game.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Right, that's right? All right, all right, thanks Anthony, good stuff.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that that needs to be
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that Anthony was was a caller there. And and
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: and everyone's going to have their different opinions about about
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: McCarthy or or whatever. I just think from a consistency standpoint,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: says what you're asking for. You you want a team
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: to be a consistent winner like that. And you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: let's not I don't care, you know what what Washington's
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: record is. I mean we we kind of thought, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: it was going to be a tough game. And I
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: think I said it here. Was it last week or
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: two weeks ago? I think it was last week when
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I was like, if you see a team start off
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: a game and they start running reverses and pitches and
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and throwbacks and tied end you know, takes the quarterbacks
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: nap and all that stuff, they're gonna get their ass kicked.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: They are, and and they and they did. I mean,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: you're going for on fourth down and all that. You
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: just know when the game when the when you play
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: four quarters of that and it's not going to hold up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: And you know it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: That's why that that you you're installing all that. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: and the Cowboys they had a little bit of a
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: lull there in the second quarter or late first quarter,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: second quarter, they dominated that game absolute domination. Washington basically
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: had two plays. They basically had a block field goal
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that returned and got them in great field position, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: then they had a tipped interception. And the funny thing
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: is is everything the Cowboys gave them they took back.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: They had a tipped interception and turned it into a touchdown.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: They had a block punt turned that into a touchdown,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: and then a lot of other plays along the way.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I thought the Cowboys were really strong yesterday. I thought
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: that was a really good game. I don't care what
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: it is. A division win on the road with a
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: chance to win, hats and t shirts on the line,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and they went in there and they took care of business.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: And I think the Cowboy fans should be excited about
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the way they played in that game, regardless of what
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Washington's record is. All right, let's let me get a
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: couple of tex questions here. This is Steven Virginia. He said, Nick,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: how much are you concerned about Aubrey's game yesterday? Playing
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: with his head going forward?
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: He missed a field goal that hit the upright, that's it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's his only miss of the season. He
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: kicked the ball, hit the upright in Washington. I mean,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: if you go if you were down there, and most
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: people weren't, but some people were in this in the stadium.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Uh that conditions that wind. You kind of figured it
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: was going to be something like that. So for him
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: to miss that kick and that's it, that's the only
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: miss that. Don't don't throw any other play out there. Okay,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: if you're not gonna block anyone, then yeah, you're you're
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: gonna miss a miss a lot of other kicks because
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: they're gonna get blocked. So if you're not gonna block,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: then yeah. But I'm talking about kicking the ball, striking
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it and getting it through the uprights. He hit the
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: upright and he missed it. He comes back and hits
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a fifty yarder. I mean, are you concerned? I mean
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not. I mean, hit the fifty arder. Shit should help,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: It should help. Fantastic season. Arguably, you could make the
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: case this is this is one of the best seasons
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: by any kicker in the history of the NFL, not
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: just rookies, no, in the NFL. When when for a
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: place kicker to do what he did last year or
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: this year, it's that's phenomenal. So now I'm not really
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: concerned at all. Another text question, this is from Mike
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: in Orlando, say, is it fair to say the organization
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: has moved on from Gallup? There was a couple of
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: plays where Dak had him open but went somewhere else
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: with the ball as random Cowboys Kendall Watkins blocking tight end,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: don't don't have a lot of stories on him, just
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Big eighty three.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Michael Gallup. I don't have him moved on. It's not
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: safe to say, I know. I mean, I don't. I
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: don't think they've moved on at all. And in fact,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you just look at his contract, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: don't know why you wouldn't why he wouldn't be on
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the team next year. It's going to cost the exact
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: same thing to keep him then to then to cut him.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: So I don't I don't see that happening, honestly. I mean,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens in the off season. Maybe there's
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: a trade or something. I don't know, but now and
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: then and that that through through to him a couple
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, the interception, the interception that he that he
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: threw that got tipped up in the air.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Was actually thrown to him.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: So but but no, he's not he I mean, he's
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: made some some play again, We're gone. I'm not doing this,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Michael Gallup like carousel again. It happens all the time,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: goes in some lulls, everyone calls in here, what's wrong
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: with them?
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: All that?
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: And then next thing you know, he's he makes a catch,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: makes a play, creates, you know, forces a pass interference penalty.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: He's he's like your he's like your fourth receiving option.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: That's what he is.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: When I don't know why we're really talking about it, honestly,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: it's just it's just not the time to really talk
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: about that. And if it comes down to money, that's
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: not the Cowboy's problem right now. They're not worried about.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Get to the off season. They see they'll they'll make
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: some decisions on what they want to do with that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: All right. Our next caller is Joe in Western New York. Okay,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: here we go first time. All Right, what's up, man,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: I'm doing well, cowboy fan up here in Buffalo Land.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what did you think about the game?
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: I like the games. There a couple of things I've
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: got the concerns on and that's on a special teams. Okay,
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: haven't we how many times have we had a fake
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: punt where they got the first down? Is it twice
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: this year?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: And then yeah, so the special team on the punt
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: and then the specially letting that guy get through to
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: block that kick. It's uncalled for. I mean, yeah, my
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: concern is I'm hoping they look at the special teams
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: and get that done. The other thing, do we have
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: a stats on third down conversions on four yards or less?
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there is, Yes, there is a stat on that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, they have stats for everything, honestly, but I'm
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: sorry I don't have that one in front of me.
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: Like, my question is why on some of them they
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: always bunch up and just try and push it through
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: the middle. Why don't we do any RPOs?
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a good answer for you. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I think that I don't like the fact that they
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: they do that a lot. They do kind of bunch up,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and I don't love that because the guys that you're
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: bunching together don't to me, aren't as strong as the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: guys on the other side. I would rather, I would
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: rather create space and try to get away from him,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: because I mean I saw it in a game against
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Detroit last week. They put Tolbert, they slide Tolbert down
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: into the line of scrimmage. He just he just kind
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: of muddies it up a little bit. And he's not
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: big enough to make a difference. It's not like you're
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: bringing in, you know, like a really strong, powerful blocker
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I've never understood the bunch formation when when you aren't
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: when you don't have it's like playing big boy football
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: when you're not the biggest boy. So that that's that,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: You're right, I don't understand that part either, But I'm
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: not really with you special teams though. I mean, they
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: gave up some plays. They've made more plays than they've
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: given up by far, but I mean, I.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: Mean two fake punts and not even have anybody cover
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: the guys.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Well, that, yeah, that's a problem because they want to
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: play Tulbert and if you go back and watch Tilbert,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: it's been the guy. I think I think on both
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: of those, So I that one that they need to
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: fix that unless they're gonna move Tolbert to cornerback, which
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: they're not. So I don't understand why they're making him
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: play corner. He's not a corner, and so on that
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: play when they fake it, he becomes a defensive player
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: and that's not that's not what he is. So they
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: they need to they need to get they need to
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: change that because I think teams are going to keep
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: seeing that.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: I'm ready.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, all right, Joe, thanks for the call,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: first time caller, appreciate that. All Right, got a lot
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: of stuff going here. We've got next color is Joseph
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: in Ambillo.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Joseph, Hey, good, good morning, Nick.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: How are you doing good?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Oh man? Loving that victory and loving that victory out there.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: I feel like that was just a complete team win. Yeah,
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: it's excited the fact that they you knows, as another
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: caller said earlier, didn't play with their food out there
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: and took care of business.
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: It was a big, big wind.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Also, first time callers, all right, had to make sure
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: to call in today. I was just too excited to
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: hold it back. And I'm really excited to see where
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: this team goes. I think we are one of the
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: most complete teams that I think we've seen under Mike
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: McCarthy's under Mike McCarthy's rain here, and I would like
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: to just see where this takes us.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: It's it's exciting.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely exciting for sure. I mean, I don't
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: know what else, what else to say. I mean, like
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: this is one of those things that it's been kind
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: of called it no Man's land for a while where
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: you know, everyone wants to just see what happens in
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, but you can't get there. I mean, we've
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: been doing this all year. What happened in the playoffs,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: what happened in the playoffs? Well, now we get to
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: find out, we get to finally find out, you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: that this thing really matters. But yeah, they had to
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: get there, and the Cowboys had to be focused in
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: every game, including this last one.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Then they were yes.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: So McCarthy had them dialed in. I felt like they
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: were just completely ready for this game. It seemed like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: you know, even with some of the things that happened
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: early on in the first half, it just felt like,
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: you know, it just never felt like you were completely
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: out of the game, even with some of the struggles,
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: you know, with that tip pick for Dak and some
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: of the things that just happened early on that just
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: kind of really kind of was trying to take the
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: wind out of yourselves and make you really stress a little.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: But they overcame a lot of those issues and just
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: really pushed hard to really prove that they're one of
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: those teams that needs to be there. Yeah, deserves to
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: be talked about.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: Loved it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: I just loved every minute of it. Thought it was
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: a great game, and loved how the end the season
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: exactly knowing especially knowing that Washington was gonna come out
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: there and try to punch us right in the chief.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they they tried. You know, they just didn't
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: have they just didn't have enough firepower. And it was
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: you know, it took a little bit to get there.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I mean Washington did the same thing as San Francisco.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: A week before, sure, you know exactly.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: And San Francisco, but by the fourth quarter, you know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: third fourth quarter, you just keep leaning on someone and
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: and and you finally you're gonna you're gonna win. And
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: that's that's what what happened in this one as well.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, sir, all right, Well, pretty.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Excited, Nick Day, thank you, all right, you too, that's
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: first time caller, Chris.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: We got a. Here we go, Joe.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: So all right, let's go get another text question here,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: we've got to we're working the text line today. This
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: is from Jay hen in Wichitak, Kansas. What are your
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: thoughts on Dak winning in VP. I think it should
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: be noted and he set out maybe four or five
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: fourth quarters this season, tied for the second best record
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: in the league. He could have easily padded staff. You're
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: right about that. It's that tied for the second best
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: record in the league. It's not really about the stats.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I think it was that second best record and who
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: has the first who has the best record, and I
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: believe it was Baltimore and Lamar Jackson, and so I
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: mean that's that's what I think Dak will probably finish second,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: and the voting that's what I would imagine. But Lamar
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: has you know, I think he's deserved it too. So then,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: and they're really good, and they're good on a lot
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: of ways. I mean they're good on defense too. But
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: he's he's so tough man. He is, he is tough
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: to deal with, and so I don't think that should
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: be I mean, I don't think anyone should be disappointed, really,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: and he's had a great, great season, but I think
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's had He's had just as good of a season,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: if not better, and then his team is better and
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: his team has had a better record. So that's usually
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: what it comes down to. And I'm fine with that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: You know, Offensive Player of the Year. I don't think
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: that would be him.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I think, I.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Mean Tyreek Hill was up there, but I mean CD's
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: numbers too, are off the chart. I mean that's one
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: hundred and I think he's one hundred and thirty three catches,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: sixth most in the history of the league. One hundred
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: and thirty three catches. I mean, remember we were talking
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: about him breaking Michael Irvans's record for one twelve. That
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: was last game he broke it. Now nine finishes with
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: one thirty three. That's that's amazing. I'm the only person
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: that's not probably loving that is Steven Jones and Jerry
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Jones and having to do that contract, you know, because
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: that's why that's why you get the deals done, you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: And that's why that's one reason why you get them done,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: because if you don't now, I mean, you don't think
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: that price DAG hasn't gone up a little bit so
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: all right, let's go to Dave in South Dakota day.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sir, how you doing?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: First time caller?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: All right, South Dakota in the house.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, long time fan of HER's, Nick, I remember I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: did in one year in the draft. You picked like
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the first three draft picks, you know, before it started,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and h pretty good job there.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Twenty eleven, you know. I mean it's been a while,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: but uh, yeah it was that. How long ago was that?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: It was Tyron Smith's for a year, That's how long.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you've been you've been around, You've been following the.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Place you should replace mel kiper junior man.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I don't have the hair. I don't have the hair
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Big shout out to d law. I don't think that guy.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't. The old Pro Bowl snob again, but yeah,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you know a few years ago he was holding out
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: for the money and stuff like that, and us, as
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Cowboys fans, we think, hey, you should just want to play.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: You should play for free. You know, you should play
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: for minimum wage. The guy's worth every penny they pay him.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just shows up every week and does
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the dirty stuff and you know, gets the tackles for
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a loss.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: He gets the last.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Night, you know, bat at his arm and yeah, causes
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: an interception.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Sure didn't.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: He just shout out to tank man, he's a stud.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Good, good, You're right. I'm glad you said that. I mean,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: he really does. And us he's not the main pass
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: rusher anymore obviously, and Micah has that, and he does,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: like you said, the dirty work, but he seems to
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: make those big plays, especially on against the run. You
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: know how many times he's been knifing through there on
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: third and one, fourth and one and and make these
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: plays exactly.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's a stud against the run and they
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: can run away from him and he tracks it down
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: from the back side and just yeah. And then I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: just got to say another event in Frisco, Texas yesterday,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Uh shout out to the South Dakota State University Rabbits.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: They won back to back yes football championships right down here.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: You bet Crosstown from you South Dakota. So that's not
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: so North Dakota has one sum right.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Dakota State.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they they've re read the records on winds and
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: we finally, we finally uh got past them and and
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: we won last year and we won this year South
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Dakota State University. And all right, and big shout out
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to the jack Rabbits.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: There you go, have a great day, all right, thank you?
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: All right? How about Joe in Washington, Washington.
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: State, Washington, Stay, good morning, good morning.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: How are you doing early up here?
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah it is and you know we're getting a first
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: glimpse of snow.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Not all right?
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: So he seemed like a home game last night to
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: that's right, Yeah it did.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of a lot of Cowboy fans
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: there and they were allowed.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: They were allowed that. They definitely showed half for sure.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: Well, my my first Cowboys game, nick was was up
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: in Dallas versus Green Bay.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: I believe it was.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Matt Flynn came down and played Lacey's the rookie year,
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: I believe, right.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: I went.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: I went with some family members from Texas, big Green
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: Bay fans. You know, first half that Ryan caught that
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: toe tip at the back of land zone, you know,
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: throwing the X up make you know, three to three.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: It couldn't get any better than that. Then the second
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: half came, Eddie Lacy came you know that. You know,
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: everything was looking good, Everything is looking good. Let me.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: Let me put it that way. Green Bay is the
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: only one I believe that besides all the other teams
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: travel really good, man, that's one thing we're gonna have
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: to try to keep up with them.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna have They're gonna have a lot of
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: fans there, There's no doubt about it. And and you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: and their fans stand out like literally, I mean, who
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: else is wearing a cheese head? So yeah, I mean
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: they stand out and they're allowed and they're you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: but I mean they're not the only team that that's
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: ever had a lot of fans in here. And and
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean, you just gotta get overcome it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to be better than the Packers.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: I mean that's it. You gotta be better than them
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: on the field. So and I think that they will be.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: But but yeah, I mean it's not like it's just
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: going to be you know, quiet for for when when
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Dallas has the ball.
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Another thing was I mean second seed. You think
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: we were second seeds better than the fifteed But the
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: way everything laid out, you think we're we're in the
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: spot we want to be.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, I definitely think that in the spot that that
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: they want to be. This is this is as good
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: as it could be right now. Thanks, thanks for the call, Joe.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: That might have been first caller there for Joe. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: don't know first time, but you know I I after
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: losing to the forty nine er the way they did
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: there we go, here we go, that was for you, Joe.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: If you know, they lost to the Niners are obviously
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: earlier in the season, and this is gonna be you
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: we knew right there it was gonna be hard to
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: pass them. So yeah, I mean you would like, I
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: like to have a first round by and just automatically
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: go into the divisional round.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that that's where you would like to be.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: But uh if if if it's not that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Then it's this, you know, and you're playing a nine
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: and eight football team that that's playing better, you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I think, I mean, they they're playing better to get
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: into the playoffs. But you know, they lost to the
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Giants like three weeks ago. They beat the Panthers by
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: a field goal, so they're not world beaters, but they
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: are in the playoffs and they are, you know, and
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: they fill they beat the Chiefs on the road, I mean,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: they beat the Vikings. So they probably will have some
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: confidence I'm sure going into this game. But I mean again,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I think when you look at their body of work
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: that they haven't been as good. And that's why you're
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: a seventh seed and so and that's why they're an underdog.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Pretty big underdog actually. So all right, let's get get
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: moving here, Rob in Vegas, here we go, nickg okay, Rob,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: let's go.
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: They accomplished the mission we go. They went in there,
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: took care of business. Number two seed. You got to
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: come through at and t you know, I read your article.
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: What's different about this team? I mean, best quarterback in
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: the NFC, I mean, best wide receiver in the NFC,
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: maybe in the league right now, best defensive player, best kicker,
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: and as home field advantage in the league. I mean,
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: what else is there? They are, they are primed, they're healthy, Knockwood.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, let's go, this is it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Let's go.
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: We kept saying twelve and five is great, twelve and
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: five is great, twelve and five is great. But you
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: got to keep building. You got to keep taking the
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: next step and no more excuses. You get a I
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: dig a favorable matchup. I'm glad that the Rams pulled
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: it out. Not that I didn't think we could beat them,
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: but let them go. Let them in Detroit go beat
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: each other up. And I think I think it's a
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: favorable matchup. We usually do very good against teams like
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: Green Bay on the cusps, you know, kind of like
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: Tampa Bay last year in the playoffs. And I just
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: think we're just ready to rock and roll. Fans should
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: be should be happy, Fans should be going crazy at
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: at and tea. Yeah, the Packer fans will travel, but
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: only if the Cowboys fans get up their tickets, which
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: hopefully they don't. But I just think, listen, it was great.
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: It was a great It was shaky to begin not shaky,
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: but I'm sure a lot of fans, like people say,
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: were like here we go. Yeah, yeah, the tip, the ball,
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: the block they were. I mean, you had to play
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: defense for four downs, which is hard because they were
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: going forward on any play right then then all of
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: a sudden, it was I said, you score right before half,
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: you score right after half. In game over, I thought
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: they kept I know, I think I think I criticized McCarthy.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: I thought he kept the starters at a little too long.
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: I was yet like, what are we doing? This game
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: is out of reach, but it worked out and I'm
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: excited that. I mean, I can't wait.
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: Rob.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: If you're excited, we're excited. That's awesome.
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: So I got to give a shout out. That's right,
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: And I got to give a shout out. I criticized
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: them the modecawk.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: He showed up.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: He did, he played, he played better. He sure did yesterday.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: You're right about that.
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he showed up. Like I said, he was in
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: witness protection. Like Donovan Wilson. Donovan Wilson made another great
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: play fall enough. Yeah, if they're listening to the show
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: and they're hearing it, keep listening. And the young guys
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: on the offensive line I played great.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna mention them. Yeah, you're right, thanks
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: for the call. Rob as always, Uh Rob excited. I mean, Rob, hey,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: this thing, this thing's been a roller coaster all year
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: long as well, and and he calls it like it is,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: but uh, you you have to be excited about where
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: this team is and how how they finished and how
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: they took care of business in that game. And that's
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: kind of what I wrote in my article about this
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: is why, Yeah, people keep out does it feel different?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Does this one feel different? And it does, and yesterday
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: was an example of that. There's been times where injuries
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: have really hurt this team, especially on one position, and
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: we get both guards out. Zach Martin's out right before
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: the kickoff. It's like he's out of the game because
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: he's sick. Tyler Smith out and these guys were practicing
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: this week, so you thought, you know that they were
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: gonna play, so you have to put TJ. Bass and
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: brock Hoffman in there. And they didn't change anything.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: They ran the ball right there.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: And in fact, I mean Pollard there was several times
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Pollard seven eight, nine yards. So and I'm happy for
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Tony Pollar to get in a thousand yards.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: If people think, well that doesn't matter, well do it,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: then do it two years in a row. Because he's
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: only sixcore six running backs. I've ever done it in
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Cowboys history and and he's one of them. So that's
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: that was that was impressive. And you know, he did
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: it all year long. I mean he's not the biggest guy, uh,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: but but he was healthy, ran the ball as hard
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: as he can.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have a lot of respect for Tony Pollard.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I really do. I don't. I don't think he is
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: a you know, lead premiere back.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: He probably needs to be a number two, a real
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: shifty number two back, and and that was his role, that's.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: What you know.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: But I think that that he did, he didn an
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: admirable job this season and obviously not not done. But yeah,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: I'm glad Rob said that about the guards and that
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: the both guards really did a good job there and
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: be honest show, I mean, all three of them right
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: there in the center. I thought, moved people around.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: It was really good.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go with got a question here text
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: question from Dan and Philly. So what are your thoughts
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: on the guards Hoffman and Bath? Yes, I agree they
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: played well.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I just mentioned that Aubrey not a concerned at all.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I agree with that.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: How about Troy Hambrick as my random cowboy, it's Dan
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: and Philly boy. Troy Hambrick, that was he was, he
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: was something. It's funny you say that after Washington. I remember,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: I remember it came in Washington. I guess it would
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: be twenty years ago, two thousand and three. He had
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: about one hundred and seventy five yards in that game,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: and he ran the ball really well. They dominated Washington
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: that day and that I just remember him. I just
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: remember him in the postgame presco.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: He was funny. He was funny. I'll just leave it
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: at that.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Eric Bickerstaff also scored a touchdown in that game.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Just a little little throwback there. They beat the beat
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Washington twenty seven to nothing. I think we woke up
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: and it was snowing all over the field and snowing there.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Terrence Newman had three picks. It's been twenty years. Can't
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: believe that. But yeah, good, good one for Troy Hambrick.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: But I agree on the Aubrey is not a A's
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: not concerned. He comes back, hits the kicks. He's been fine,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: big body of work there, so I think he'll be
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: fine moving into the playoffs. All right, Travis in San
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Antonio's next, Let's go, Nick, Let's go.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Travis just wanted to.
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: I was hoping to get out before because not that
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: I want to, because I just wanted to. Like this
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: is why we said three weeks ago. Even I even said,
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: like in the second half of the game, like the
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: seed could change just by all the results. So you know,
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: when we were saying like it changes fast in the NFL,
• 36:12
  Speaker 10: Like like three weeks ago, everyone was like, Oh, it's
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: gonna be road road, road, and now it's I mean,
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: it's it's right there for you. So you never, like
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: I think talking about it. I think that hopefully everyone's
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: learned a lesson, like talking about three weeks ago. Let's
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: let's just see tell me who's available. Who were like
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: you say all the time, tell me who's available, who
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: are we playing? And then let's figure it out. But
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: like even that second half of the of the games
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: last yesterday, like things could change, so you just don't know.
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: It's all you know, playoffs matchups. Yeah, so I think
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: it's favorable. You gotta, like you said before, but you
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: can't watch that game and not give brock Hoffman, who
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: I was anticipating playing, and then uh TJ. Bass you know,
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: their love because they they did a great job not
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: saying we don't want Tyler Swift and Zach Martin back.
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: But I mean, I think that gives you a little
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: bit of It gives you a little more calm, right
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: with with them being backups that they can get the
• 37:10
  Speaker 10: job done. I think I don't know about you, but
• 37:14
  Speaker 10: I think that corner route that Cooks runs, I said
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: like three weeks ago on Twitter, is like his best
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: route by far, and nobody has defended it well yet. Yeah,
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: so keep doing that down there. I was happy that
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: they that lif Key you know, got a good lead
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: block down to the goal line there. Pollard filed them
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: right in. So that was good to see. And I
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: don't know, it just it sets up really well for
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: them right now. And I just want to see what
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: you think other than that it's what's rock and roll?
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's rock and roll, all right, Travis, appreciate that.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: You know you're right about that, Cooks. It's been three
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: games in a row where it's just right there in
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: the corner. I mean, I think it's a credit. It's
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: not just cooked. I mean, that is a perfect pass
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: that Dak is just like dropping right there in the bucket.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: And so that right there is is that's the connection.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: That's the part that I think is really really good
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: here is Dak has now three guys that he has
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: a really really strong connection with, none bigger than CD.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, he kidd me thirteen targets yesterday, thirteen receptions.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: I mean it's like they're just like the balls just
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: connected to both of them. I mean, it's it's it's
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: unreal with what they're doing right now with both of them.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: But then you throw Cooks in there as well. You know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: they have a goal line connection as well. That's one
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: of the things that are really doing a nice job
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: around the goal line throwing the ball in there.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Cooks.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: You know, there's eight touchdowns this year. And then Ferguson's
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: another guy. I mean, Ferguson seventy one catches about seven
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards. You know, that's there's not a
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: lot of tight ends in Cowboy's history that have done
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: that seventy and seven hundred, you know, it being the
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: second or third option. But Ferguson made a play yesterday
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: right in front of the Cowboys sideline where it was
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: just short of the sticks. He caught it and then
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: just kind of slithered his way behind one guy or
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: you know, and then then we was spending and turning
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: and it was probably going to be a six or
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: seven yard play and he ended up getting like thirteen yards.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: And that right there is just that is what a
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: dynamic tight end can give you. If you got that,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: you got a playmaking tight end that can make plays
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: over the middle and then get it from seven eight
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: yards to ten to fifteen and move the sticks. That right,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: there is a difference makers. That's what Jake Ferguson has
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: been this year. He's really taking this team to another level.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: One thing I was gonna mention though, is you know,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: just when you talk about the storylines, you know, obviously
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: this is the show.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Is the storyline. If if you were.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Like this was like a Bowl games or they this
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: in March Madness where they actually picked the matchups, I mean,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: if this is what it was, We're like, all right,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: here are the playoff teams. Let's just figure out the matchups.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: You couldn't have done it any better than this, And
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: that's not the way it works. It's just the way
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: the seeding is. But when you look at the stories
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: of this playoff picture, you, like I said, you you
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: couldn't write a better script, Like all right, let's uh,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: all right, let's do this. Let's put San Francisco at one. Oh,
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: let's put Dallas at two. Let's put them where they
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: can maybe have a collision course Dallas San Francisco in
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: the championship game. That's great, All right, So who are
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: gonna play with Dallas. Let's go with the Green Bay. Yeah,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: McCarthy used to coach there. They a lot of history,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: a love of Dallas Green Bay where we got Lions,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Lions and Rams.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Stafford used to play for Detroit. Now he plays for
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: the Rams. They traded for golf golfs, which perfect. Let's
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: put them together. He goles and he goes and Bucks.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I don't really have anything there, but you go to
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: the AFC. Cleveland used to you know, I know DeShawn
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Watson's not playing, but I mean Houston's going. I mean
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's going to Houston. I mean Sean will be there.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: That's that's the story in itself. I'll just leave it
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: at that. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins going to Kansas City.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Tyreek's you know, he's not shy about his his words
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: in the media and some of the things he said.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: So that all that's gonna be interesting. Kansas City goes
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: back and plays them. You know, they have other matchups
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: there and of course in in the AFC as well.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: But I mean, just from from a story perspective, a
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: lot of good ones, a lot of good stuff and
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: and you know, it's just it's as cool to be
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: a part of it, you know what I mean, just
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: just that hey, we're we're still in this.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: We're still gonna have to cover.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: But uh, you know, the Cowboys obviously have their own story,
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: even though McCarthy kind of dismissed it, you know. And
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: and there's not a whole lot of players anymore from
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: from the Packers that are with the Cowboys. I mean,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry that he coached at the Packers that are
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: still there. Uh and obviously the big one that Aaron
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Rodgers not there. But uh still, I'm sure there'll be
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of talk about that. And uh,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: you know, and not just McCarthy, but Dallas Green Bay
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I mean, what a storied tradition there is.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: But still, I just wanted to point that out. How
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: these matchups, I mean, you you really couldn't write a
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: better script. And did I not say that Stafford going
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: back and Chris Worth. I think I said Stafford going
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: back to Detroit golf playing you know, his former team.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: I mean that right there, Rams, Rams and Lions. I mean,
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: that's that's unbelievable. How they're going to match up in
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. That's gonna be a good win. You know,
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: if Dallas wins the game, uh Sunday afternoon three thirty. Uh,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: they win that game, then you know, the winner, the
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: winner of Detroit. I guess of if Detroit wins, well,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: I guess you have to you have the Rams. If
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: the Rams win then then then I guess the Cowboys
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: would play the four or five winner on Monday night.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: So still gotta take care of business. Got to one
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: one game at a time, all right. Next caller is
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Irwin in Denver.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: On good morning. How you doing own great, really good,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: really good win yesterday. Yeah, just a couple of things
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: for you. I'm kind of glad that we relatively came
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: out injury three with the exception of Gilmour. I hope
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: he's doing okay. And the last thing I just want
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to say and get your thoughts on it is I
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: just hope that McCarthy doesn't go into this playoff game
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: with any kind of pressure on it because he's going
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: up against his old team and how that thing just
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: kind of ended, you know, And I just wanted to
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: get your thoughts on that, and I'll let you go,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Thanks sirone appreciate that. U. He definitely held on the
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: phone on the line there longer than the call, and
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Sorry for making you wait, but yeah,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: I do appreciate those those quick calls, quick points, Gilmore.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is a football player for you.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm fine, I'm good to go. My shoulder
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: popped out. We just popped it back in. I'm fine,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I mean cool. I mean that's you know, that's I
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: would imagine it's probably a little bit more than that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: I mean because when he said that, you're like, okay, great,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: But then like I saw him, I guess walking to
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the bus. I mean he's still had a sling. I mean,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that it's not gonna be okay, but
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: it's just that he was wearing a sling just to
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: protect a little bit. I think he's going to be
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: okay to play. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: practice like on Wednesday, but you know, we'll see what
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: what kind of range and and motion that that he
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: can have with that. He says he's fine, Butcarthy, you know,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: also said that like not really worried about it, but
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: something something to monitor for sure, but that was one
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: of the reasons why I've been playing playing the Packers.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know they have receivers. I mean, they
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: have guys that can make some plays. But it wasn't
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: it Christian Watson just a couple of years ago that
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: had three touchdowns in one game, and it was blind
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Bland that was giving up some of those. I think
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: as a rookie it was two years ago. Sorry, that
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: feels like forever ago when they played that game, uh
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: green Bay. But and then as for the McCarthy, that game,
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: that that game in Green Bay last season, that was one.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of pressure on him to
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: go up there and win that game. Coming back, I
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: don't know if it's the same you know, when you're
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: when you're at home. Uh, he's gonna downplay it a lot.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: You know, the media will, we'll we'll throw it out there.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: But you know, I just think the way this team
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: is playing at home, they they know what they've got
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: to do. It doesn't matter who it is. They've got
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: to take care of business so that that crowded at
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: and T Stadium will be ready to go. There's gonna
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: be a white out. That that is what the Cowboys
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: have announced that that they're doing. You know, so if
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: you're going to the game, encouraged to wear white, but
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: you know it'll be it'll be a show. I mean,
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it. I'm excited for it. I mean,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: I know we're we're kind of asterial here on Monday,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: still talking a little bit about Washington, but all eyes
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: forward at this point too, for the for the Packers
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: game on Sunday at three thirty. All right, let's keep
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: going a couple more calls here before we can finish this.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: We've got Josh in Chicago.
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, good morning.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: How you doing, Josh? How you doing good?
• 46:13
  Speaker 11: Glad to have another win in another twelve and five season.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those don't get old twelve and five. You know,
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: let me point something out real quick, Josh, before you
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: get going. I've been here long enough where I saw
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: three five and elevens from Dave Campbell, five and eleven,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: three years in a row. They kind of run together
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: when you have the same I saw three eight and
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: eights in a row with Jason Garrett. So these three
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: twelve and fives, I mean, let's let's let's not forget that.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Let's not forget that. This is the kind of consistency
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: that you want, not the five and eleven or eight
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: and eight. This this twelve and five, because this will
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: give you a chance to compete. You keep you keep
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: rolling out twelve and five, You're gonna be fine. Sorry,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 46:51
  Speaker 11: No, I one hundred percent agree with you and your article.
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: I think said it best today is there's something about
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: this year though, still feels a little bit different last year.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: You know, in the year before.
• 47:01
  Speaker 11: So yeah, I try to call in for a couple
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: of weeks and keep not getting able to get through.
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: So I'll just say my favorite football movie has got
• 47:10
  Speaker 11: to be Remember the Titan When the Replacements is on.
• 47:13
  Speaker 11: I just got to sit down and watch The Replacements.
• 47:15
  Speaker 11: It's such a good movie too.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: And try that again. I've seen it once.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 47:21
  Speaker 11: As for this team, you know, I think really nobody
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: can get in their way in the NFC, except for
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: the Dallas Cowboys themselves. I really do think the way
• 47:27
  Speaker 11: that I'm playing, even the forty nine ers, something's been
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: different since the bye week. Dak and ceed have been different.
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: If they stay out of their way with the penalties,
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: I really think that, no, they'll have a chance in
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: every single playoff game to play and then I'll got
• 47:40
  Speaker 11: a question for you. I'll take it off the airs.
• 47:42
  Speaker 11: I think some of this early run game something that
• 47:45
  Speaker 11: might help is having some designed runs for Dak, especially
• 47:48
  Speaker 11: have some of the early downs to just get them
• 47:50
  Speaker 11: to respect his legs and respect that element of his
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: game as well, and maybe put that out there for
• 47:55
  Speaker 11: the defense. Open some stuff up for Tony a little
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: bit more and Rico a little bit more.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, uh, all right, thanks for thanks for
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: the colleg Josh, good good stuff. Yeah.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: I like to design runs for Dak. I think that's
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: something that we don't see a whole lot. And I
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: think right now there's just a confidence level that Dak's
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: gonna step back and throw the ball and they're gonna
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: catch it, and they're gonna make the play and if
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be CD great, I mean, ferguson all of them.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: And that mentality has helped this team win a lot
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: of games. That mentality almost got him in trouble in
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: Detroit and Seattle game because they were we got this
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: third down, should be running it to to you know,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: take off forty seconds forty five seconds or so but nah,
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: let's just put the game away right now, because we
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: got this. Sometimes you don't. But but I mean, it's
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: that mentality more often than not that I think has
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: helped team. So you know, it's it's led the basketball
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: player thinks he's gonna make every shot, you know, he
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: but you know sometimes you know, sometimes you break a few,
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: you know, and sometimes you miss some. But it's the
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: mentality that I think has really helped this team. And uh,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: and know that they're having a lot more success than
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: than the failures, which is evident by the record and
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: evident by the records. I mean, you need to go
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: down the line on all these kind of milestones. And
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: it's been a fun year for that kind of stuff.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: All Right, I think about one word.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Call her. Let's go David in Fort Worth, David, what's up?
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Nick?
• 49:35
  Speaker 12: Hey? Miss miss you?
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 49:36
  Speaker 12: Missing the little one, pretty busy. He's good, man, He's drowing,
• 49:40
  Speaker 12: he's chunky.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 49:41
  Speaker 12: I don't know how he's getting so I'm little man,
• 49:42
  Speaker 12: I'm like five to six. He's like already like top percentile.
• 49:46
  Speaker 12: But anyways, man, I know, I know the show's almost over.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 49:49
  Speaker 12: I appreciate you guys, s feeze me in. I just
• 49:50
  Speaker 12: wanted to share a little bit of excitement. Brother, Like
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: I like to be a level headed van. I don't
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: always think the year is our year, but man, I
• 49:58
  Speaker 12: feel it this year, the way Dakla, the way McCarthy's
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: got this team ready to go, fe feels very very good.
• 50:04
  Speaker 12: I did want to touch on something that you were
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: kind of touching on as far as storylines. I think
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: that it's interesting. I called after I called before the
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: Jets game, and I said, I don't care about playing Rogers.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
• 50:13
  Speaker 12: I don't care about beating the best. It doesn't matter
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: to me. And I still hold that sentiment right now.
• 50:18
  Speaker 12: But I do think it's kind of interesting that if
• 50:20
  Speaker 12: things fall in line, the Cowboys have the opportunity to
• 50:23
  Speaker 12: exercise a lot of demons. They can exercise the Packers
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: who have knocked them out of the playoffs a couple
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: of times. They can exercise the Rams who ran all
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: over us with twenty eighteen. Then they can go and
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: they can knock out the juggernaut San Francisco forty nine
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: ers who have been a thorn in their back. I
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: really really hope that they do.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: It, brother, I miss you.
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: I miss calling in.
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna try to call them more.
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: I appreciate you so much.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Thanks, David, appreciate that good good call. And yeah, I
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: mean I didn't think about the Rams perspective, you know,
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: but either way, either way, like if you win that
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: game and if you play, maybe play one of those teams.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you should play the Rams. Don't think
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: you can? Can you play the Rams?
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can play the Rams because I
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: mean you play them in the championship game, because I
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: mean the seventh seed is the Packers, and so if
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: the Rams win, they would play San Francisco, so they
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: I mean the Rams would be the sixth seed and
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: that's the lowest seed. So I don't think you can
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: play the Rams in the divisional where I could be
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: wrong with that, but yeah, right, okay, and so and
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: so if the if the Rams win and and the
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Cowboys Colways beat the forty nine Rams win, then then
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: you'd play the four or five. You'd play the Bucks
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: or the Eagles at home. So hey, bring it, I mean, whoever,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: I mean at this point, bring it. The way this
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: team is playing, the way and the way we know
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: they can play Yeah, they've lost some games. Buffalo that
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: was that was a stinker. And ever, you know, think
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: about this, every team the Cowboys have had that have
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl, they've had a game like that.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Even in the super Bowl years, they've had a game
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: late in the year where you're likenh this team that's over,
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: you know, and they can't believe they lost this game,
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: you know, to the Dolphins on Thanksgiving, or they can't
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: believe they lost this game to them, you know, whoever,
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: to Washington, you know. But then they come back and
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: you figure out a way to go and win. So
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: all right, we're running out of time here. Cowboys breaks
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: me gonna be coming up here in a few minutes.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: We'll hear what they have to say breaking down the game.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: It's been a good one though, a lot of good
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: calls today. Appreciate you guys, Appreciate Chris Beam as always,
• 52:29
