• 0:32
  Speaker 2: are ringing, we will, we will pick it up and

  Speaker 2: next show or the next press conference. But we will
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: definitely want to hear from you guys. Eight eight eight
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: eight five five two two nine seven. That is the number.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: And I want to I want to be able to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: talk Cowboys, giants. Uh, some injuries, lineups sounds like looking
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: at the text line here, running backs is what people
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: want to want to talk about, and I mean running
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: backs is Uh it's different. I mean I thought, I
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: thought what Mike McCarthy said the other day was was
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: very telling. He said, it's just going to be different.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: It's a different room. He said. The last couple of years,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I've had two number ones. I've had Zeke and Pollard
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: this year. He didn't say didn't have two number ones.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: But he didn't say it, you know, I mean, obviously
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you don't. You don't put Rico Dowdell in that group.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: He hasn't. He hasn't shown that just yet. That again,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Pollard didn't show it either, and and Marion Barber didn't
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: show it, you know, until they did. And so we'll see,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with with these guys. And and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: then Deuce Van he throw him in the mixed Hunter
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: lip key. I'm not sure how the whole running back
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: thing is going to work. I'm not sure if all
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: four of those guys can be active for this game.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So that will be something to to definitely watch. Another
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: thing to watch will be injuries. Always will be something
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to watch. And Mike McCarthy will have his press conference
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: here in an hour. It's ten o'clock Central time. He'll
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: have it at eleven. He'll be able to discuss the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Tyler Smith with the hamstring injury had an MRI. Sounds
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: like they it reveals a strain that that could be anything.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, it could be you know, in anything, any
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: kind of tightness is somewhat of a strain, so obviously
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: not a doctor, but you know, we'll see how how
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: long this goes and if it will even affect him
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for this week. I mean, uh, the only the only
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: bad thing about this ten o'clock time slot here is
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be before McCarthy, before practice, so a lot
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: of times the answers that we want to see will
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: happen later in the day. But that's okay. And again,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: if you guys keep calling, I'll definitely be able to uh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll definitely be able to chat all day long.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: It sounds like we do have a call, but I'm
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: gonna go through the storylines real quick. On injuries, Tyler
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Smith something to watch, Sam Williams turf toe. They're going
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to be trying to get him ready to go. Jordan
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Lewis obviously with a foot injury. I'm not expecting him
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to do much. And then Donovan Wilson calf strain. He
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: hasn't done anything since the start of camp. My gut
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: is that he will not be able to play this week,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: but we'll see. If he does something today, maybe they
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: can kind of ramp him up. But I haven't seen
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: him doing a lot of running. Yet on those courts,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: we're just seeing kind of the slow pacing getting his
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: steps walks, not really the jogging or the running. So
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: until we see that, I don't know how close he
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: will be to getting back out there. All right, we're
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: going to start this off with the phone call.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: We've got Shelby in Virginia. Shelby, what's up. I'm great man,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: how are you?
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I'm doing fantastic. I gotta tell you, I've been a
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: fan since I was in middle school and I'm out
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: of college now I'll.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Do over there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: I wanted to ask, I really like what we did
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: with Jason Peters last year and with Tyler and Tyron
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: in the condition they are. How complicated would it be
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: to try to bring him back?
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Is that a worthwhile new?
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Secondly, you know, going back to New York. Just if
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: you have a favorite Meadowlands moment, a favorite game, a
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: favorite moment that he's covered there?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Nice? Okay, thanks for the call, Shelby. And Virginia. Virginia
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: is sneaky big state for cowboy fans. I mean that's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: probably like fifth overall on when you look at Texas
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and California, New York for Virginia, big fans there in Virginia.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Jason Peters, this is what happened last year. Though they
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: signed him, he was not ready to play. He was
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: not at all, and he took what two three weeks.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: He didn't come back until the week three against the Giants.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He played a little bit there. So he's probably gonna
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: be the same thing. He's a year older. I mean,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: he's he's gonna have to kind of get his body
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ready to go. So if he's just coming into mentor
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like they got offensive line coaches
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: for that. They got a thousand coaches. I mean, I
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: feel like they got people for that. If he's going
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to come in and maybe play, be a backup and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: do all that, I think you would have had to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: have done that a little bit earlier. I don't know
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: if they're going to go down that road. I mean,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I don't hate the idea you need somebody, but I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: just think he needed so much time last year. It
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: seems like it's a little late in the game for
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that favorite Meadowlands memory. And there's been there's been so many,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you know, I some of them are bad. I mean,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: like losses. I mean, I remember my first first few
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: there in that ninety nine season. Two thousand and the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: ninety nine season, the Cowboys lost thirteen to ten to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the Giants and they they had a two seconds to go.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The Giants kick the field goal and they kicked it off,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and I'm down on the field. Okay, it's my first
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: year right out of college. I'm still just like you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: amped up, and Dion was back there and they were
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: pitching the ball around and and and it looked like
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: like they went for like, you know, like this the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: cal Stanford played like eighty yards and a guy named
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Singor Mobley I think, has got the ball at the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: end and he's running in for the end zone and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I'm just freaking out, like, oh my god, he's pulled
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: this off. And what I didn't see because I'm on
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the field is that Dion I think, had thrown it
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: forward like six yards, and and you know, everybody on
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the sideline was like, all right, this is coming back,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: even though they're running it and scoring and it looked
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: like they just won the game. And I'm over there
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like you just see that, and everyone's like it's a penalty.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: It's a penalty, young guy, let's go all right, And
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: so they lost the game. I don't know why that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: one stands out. That's feeling not a great memory, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: there's been. You know, we go every year and it's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the it's it's a very very loud outdoor stadium. It
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: always has been, whether it be Giants Stadium, MetLife, it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: a it's a fun, fun place to be. Got another
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: phone call. Let's see I lost Nick from New York.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Still in the line, Nick, Yeah, what's up? What's up?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Nick?
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: I hope you guys are having a good day. Love
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: the show, getting excited for the season. But I was,
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: I was listening to all the podcasts, everything on the
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Cowboys app yesterday and I thought there was an interesting
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: question one to see your opinion on it. On Hanging
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: with the Boys with Jesse Holly and Nate Newton, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: they were asking, you know, what you consider a success
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: this season. But I know there was a little bit
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: of a you know, a difference.
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: Jesse was, you know, super Bowl or bust because of
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: everything they have this year and you know, what else
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: can you give? And Nate was more of a NFC championship.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: It's what he wanted to see. So I want to
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: see in your opinion, I know it's a long way
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: to go. You know, a lot of a lot of
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: things can happen. But what in your opinion was is
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: it super Bowl or bust you know this year based
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: on everything they have? Or do you think you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: get into that next step past the second round? Is
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: is what you want to see?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: So?
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: And I'll hang up and answer appreciate good.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And those are two guys that that would have that
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: conversation obviously because they that they always seem to go
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to kind of down that road. I hate the term
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: super Bowl or bust? What does that mean? But what
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: does bust mean? I think of buttons that that are
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: about the break and then they just bust and then
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: then you can't use them anymore. What does bust mean?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: We're gonna blow up the team, We're gonna just trade
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: all the pieces. I mean, I don't, I don't know
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: what that means. Super Bowl or bust? Super Bowls is
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the goal, absolutely the goal, always the goal. And and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and I guess I guess what what they're saying is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: is that it was a failure. I don't I don't
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: look at it that way. I don't look at it
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: as a as a failure. I don't look I mean
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: NFC Championship, Yeah, I think I think they're gonna get
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys. You know, fans will be disappointed if you
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: don't make it there, they will be disappointed. But I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: don't look around and say it wasn't a successful season.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I mean I I start the bar, like, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: let's be a good competitive team that that could win
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: every week. Be a team that can compete and win
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: every week. I think the Cowboys will be that team.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You know, win the games you're supposed to to win.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys are gonna and most of them,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be the favorite, so they should be winning
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of these games. Got to stay healthy, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that's you know, that's something that that that all teams
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: have to. You gotta get lucky, you gotta you gotta
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: avoid weird plays in the playoffs, I mean, because they
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: always happen. Look at the losses of the Cowboy's had
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: there's been weird law. I mean weird play. I mean
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers throwing it down the sidelines like that, or
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: or DEAs catching the ball and then you know, not
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: not calling it a catch or Romo dropping the ball there,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you know, on the snap. I mean, just weird things.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Got to avoid those kind of things. But I don't
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I just don't look at it as as a as
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a bust. That's the goal. The goal is to go
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: win Super Bowl. But I don't I don't know if
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: if that doesn't happen. You know, it's it's what you do.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: You you saddle up and you do it again next year.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what it is. But I mean,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: you know, I think this team is good enough to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: compete for it. And that's what you want. You want
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to just be good enough to be in the dance
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: and then when you get there, we'll see what happens.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I think this team is good enough to do that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: All right, Joe and Stanford on the line. We're gonna
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Joe and Stanford another phone call. What's up, Joe?
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: Okay, bro, how are you doing this morning?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Good man? How are you good?
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: So?
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: I've been watching some Giants Black pre Cowboys game stuff
• 10:10
  Speaker 11: and they're talking about how they would attack one of
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: their giants. Thanks players is on there. They're talking about
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: their offense just needing to run the ball, that's the
• 10:20
  Speaker 11: way they attack our Cowboys defense, which makes sense. With there,
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: we're going to be tested.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: So yeah, my question.
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: Is, how do you how do you think we're gonna
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: hold up? You think we're going to be better against
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: the run?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think that's a that's a that's
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a good way to start if you're the Giants. I appreciate,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: appreciate the call Joe as always when he's becoming one
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: of the one of the favorites there to call from
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: a you know frequency standpoint. Love that running the ball
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: for the for the you know, most teams are going
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to say that's how they want to establish things. Run
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the ball. They got Saquon Barkley. Uh, they're going to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: use them and they and that's the good way to
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: do it because you're also if you're running the ball,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you're not letting Micah Parsons do his thing. I mean
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: they they will, they will probably prefer that that he's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: playing run defense more than attacking Daniel Jones. So I mean,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. I'm not surprised by that. I
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: don't think anybody is. That's that's how you you would
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: want to attack the Cowboys and that's why. Look at
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: what the Cowboys did. I mean they they drafted Mazzie
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Smith in the in the first round, and they re
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: signed Hankins, and you know that they've got Osa and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Neville Gallimore, who's contract was restructured yesterday. It's really called
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a pay cut. I mean, that's that's what it was.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: They they cut his salary, reduced it to keep him
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: on the roster. So that's what what what that is.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: But he's your fourth defensive tackle there, so I think
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: they've tried to solidify that, and then you know, we'll
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: see what what Leyton and Daimone Clark can do at
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the linebacker position as well. And the safety's coming in.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: But I think for sure that the Gihant's gonna have
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: to run the football. That's That's what most teams are
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: going to try to do is neutralize their best player
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: on w IS Michael Parsons, and by doing that, you
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: run away from him or run the ball up the
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: middle and stay out of third and longs. All right,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: we're gonna take another call before we go to break. Here,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Tim in Grapevine, what is up? Tim?
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: Nick? How you doing? My man?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I'm good?
• 12:14
  Speaker 12: How are you Hey, big fan of yours great show.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: I hope you guys stream on YouTube as well live stream.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I've been hearing that we're gonna we're gonna look into
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: that awesome.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: Well my question is, and then I'll hang up and listen.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: My question is, you know they say that you want
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: your big guys to come off the bus first, right, Yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: well Dexter Lawrence is literally a bus. So if Tyler
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: Smith can't go, does that change the game plan? So
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: I'll hang up. Thank you.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that, man, I got it. We got another
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: text line question on that from the two seven zero
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: number about that, will he start in your opinion, I'm
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: trying to double up anytime I see the same question
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Tyler Smith. If he doesn't go yesterday, I just I
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: just totally like skipped out on the guy, and I
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: forgot about TJ.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Bass.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I think TJ Pass would probably be the starter. That's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: not exactly how anyone would probably envision him. A rookie,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: free agent, undrafted rookie playing your first game is just
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: going out and going up against Dexter Lawrence, who you
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: just called a bush bus as in, you know, no,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: t not a bust a bus, a literal bus. Sorry
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: jeroonn Betis, but I mean there's other busses out there too.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Dexter Lawrence great player, and if Tyler doesn't go, yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: it changes everything from from the from the strength and
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: how you want to run the football. I don't know
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: if it's the same as well. You remember two years
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: ago Week one against the Bucks. I believe Zach Martin
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: was out with COVID. I think that's what happened, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: they went up to Tampa. Played well, but the game
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: plan was all east west. It was nothing up the middle.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Even with Zeke. They barely ran the ball up the middle.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: They went sidelined to sideline, stayed out of the way
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: of Vitavea and those guys in the center. I don't
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: know if it would be that type of extreme, but
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I do think that they would try to, you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: figure out ways to neutralize that and use their speed.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: They're gonna do that anyways. This team's gonna go east
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to west a lot more than we've seen in the past.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: You're gonna see the turpins and deuced vawns and guys
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: like that running reverses and hitches and bubble screens and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: things like that. So I think that's the way you
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: would do it if if you feel like you're gonna
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: be at a disadvantage. Nothing not taking anything away from TJ. Bass.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe he's a gamer. Maybe, and I'm not
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: saying he will play, but I mean just you have
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to figure it out and they'll give him a chance
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to see if he can move people off the ball.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But you know, if not, there's other ways to get
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: around it if you have to. All Right, we're gonna

  Speaker 2: Second half of Cowboys storyline underway here, Nick Eatman, and
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the phone calls are been coming in. We got a
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: guy already on the line from Mississippi, Chris from Mississippi.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: What's up man? You on the road?
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm on the road. I'm a truck driver.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Oh nice.
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: I appreciate. I appreciate the new show. I was the
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: one that called the other day about Dad and how
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: everybody was, you know, trying to make him be into
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: somebody he's not, and I would I would like to
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: say this. I wanted to follow that up and just
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: kind of spaced out on it with this the other
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: day that you know, I wish people would quit in
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: the same thing to Massie Smith, like just let the
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: man be what he is and stop trying to make
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: him into somebody else. I mean, we got him so
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: we could help stop the run. And how you you
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: can answer this? For the past five years, how much
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: have we wanted that guy? How much have we begged
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: for that? And now we want to turn him into
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: somebody else. Let the man do what he's gonna do.
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: And I think he's going to be great at stopping
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: the run. Let me ask I think that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Sorry not to cut you off, but like, what are
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you hearing that people are trying to make Mozzie Smith into?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm missing that. I mean I know that they
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: want him to be Aaron Donald right now, but what
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: do you what's the biggest concern that people are saying
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: in your mind?
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: I mean, everybody's saying he's a first round pick and
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: he doesn't have any pass ressibility and this that, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: they've been saying that all through training camp. Yeah, I'm
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: sitting over here trying to pull my hair out, going
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: we need somebody to stop the run. That's where we've
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: lost for the last four years in a row, is
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: we have nobody to stop the run and we keep
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: getting run over. I mean it, Let the man be
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: what he's going to be, and then in a couple
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: of years he may be that dominant pass rusher from
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: the middle. But right now we need him to st
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: stop and the run for us, and I think the
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: guy's gonna do it. I honestly think this is a
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: super Bowl caliber team. And I mean I'm a I
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: am definitely a huge Cowboy fan, have been all my life,
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: and I'm a huge Missive State fan, So having that
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: when the Super Bowl would.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Be like.
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: Amazing to me. And I mean, I would also like
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: you to ask you to do me a favor because
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: Brian brought us and all of them they don't take calls,
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: so you can't get a hold of them.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: That's why we're doing this.
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: We have tell them that they need to start looking
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: at it. Since we need lineman, they need to start
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: looking at Missippi State and some of these teams that
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: are down in the SEC. Because this year we've got
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: five linemen that have played almost every position on the line.
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: They've all either the guard, they've either played garden tackle,
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: garden center, all that kind of stuff. And that's what
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: we're needing is versatility. And it seems like that's I
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: think that's the biggest thing that most of US State
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: fans love to see Dak there. But we were hoping
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: that it was going to translate into our guys getting
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: more attention than it hasn't done that. Yeah, all right, hey,
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: it is what it is. You have a great day
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: to appreciate the show.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Man, all right, thank you appreciate It doesn't always work
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: that way. You draft the quarterback. I don't remember them.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think Cowboys drafted a lot of use CLA
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: players after they got eight men or whatever. I mean,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: they did get a lot of Miami guys. I know that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I don't like to hear that Mississippi State's got five
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: linemen moving around. I know, as an Arkansas razorback, we
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: gotta beat Mississippi State. So don't love that, all right,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Mazzie Smith. You know, the Internet kind of messes that
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: up a little bit sometimes because you see a clip
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: and then it gets shared and shared and all he
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: gets turned around and then someone says, all, well, you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: and then everyone loves to just make every opinion of Okay,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: well he sucks. I mean, training camp, you cannot you
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: cannot evaluate a defensive tackle. At training camp. Every running
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: back goes eighty yards every time they get hit and
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: held up, and then they still run and all that,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: so you don't know if it's a if. You know
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: if it's if it's if you're clog in the middle
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: or you're not. I mean, he's got strength. Jonathan Hankins
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: said it on this show or back at camp. He's
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the he's the strongest player he's ever played with, especially
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: as a rookie. He's got something. Okay, they're gonna they're
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: gonna coach him up. He's gonna be good. He's on
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: not going to get weak. He's going to continue to
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: be strong. He's going to figure out the other stuff
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and you're going to combine it all together, and he's
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: going to be a good pick. Just forget Taco. Taco
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: was not a good pick. Okay, you got to give
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: him that. He was not a good pick. Every other
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: draft pick in the last twelve years has been really good.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Let's give the Cowboys some credit there. And I think
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: that he will be right in line with that. All right,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Frank from Irving, We're going back to the phone lines.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Frank from Irving, are you there?
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: Yes? How are you doing Nick?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I'm good?
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: How are you I'm doing well?
• 21:35
  Speaker 15: I love the show?
• 21:37
  Speaker 16: Thank you?
• 21:38
  Speaker 14: Now let me ask you. Everybody says that all NFL
• 21:44
  Speaker 14: teams need more offensive lineman. If that's the case, why
• 21:50
  Speaker 14: have the Cowboys let two left guards walk in the
• 21:55
  Speaker 14: last two years in free agency?
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: Yep?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think it comes down to it
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: comes down to money. I mean, that's what it always
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: comes down to. It comes down to can you draft
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: a left guard, A get a TJ. Bass off the street?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Can you do that and make up for the fact
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: that you know you you're gonna have to pay these
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: guys a lot of money. I mean, everybody gets excited
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: when oh we got Trayvon Diggs done. Oh man, they
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: signed Zach Martin Oka kept him happy? Okay?
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Or what about CD? What about back? Well, something's got
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: to give when you pay all these guys the money.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: And what gives is paying Connor Williams eight million a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: year to go play center for the Dolphins or go
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: play or Connor McGovern whatever he made. I'm not really
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: sure what it was, but to go to the bills.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: It's just you cannot pay everyone. You can't. And I
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: think they look at it and said, all right, for
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: what we're getting here, and Connor Williams was it was okay,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I mean he was he was okay. He I thought
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: he was. Honestly, I thought he was playing out of position.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I thought that if they would have tried center with
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: him a lot earlier, that that could have been his spot.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: He never looked like a guard to me, one way
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: or another. Guards to me looked like guards. I mean, big, strong,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: physical tackles either. You know, if they're not going to
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: be big and strong, then they're gonna be like quick
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: on their feed and they got the you know, the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: quick feet, they can get around the edges and all that.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: But to me, he was either going to be a
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: tackle or a ciner, and I thought I thought he
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: was sort of playing out a position in my opinion.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: But the point is is that you cannot pay everyone,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: and they feel like the from a value standpoint, that
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: they can replace that cheaper than going and just and repaying.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: If it's Zach Martin, fine repay him and keep him
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: in the in the fold, because he's one of the
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: best that's ever played the position. But if it's not that,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: you got to figure out different ways to do it.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of how they handle the guard position.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: All right. The calls are flying in. We we appreciated
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Vince from Albuquerque. Vince on the line, Vince me, what's
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: up man, Thank you appreciate it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 15: Question is Tree Lamb? You think they'll have a package
• 24:16
  Speaker 15: for him later on.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: In the season, later on in the season. What let
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: me ask you? Let me ask you. Have you have
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you seen him play? I mean, have you have you
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: watched him a little bit? I can't say I've seen
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of them. And if so, what what would
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: be your package to to uh, to use him here?
• 24:35
  Speaker 15: I think it would be like a third down and
• 24:38
  Speaker 15: short and then you'll like maybe fake to run and
• 24:42
  Speaker 15: then use his big canon on the go downfield.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Where is dak on this play?
• 24:48
  Speaker 15: Uh, he's actually on the sidelines. Yeah, this is this
• 24:52
  Speaker 15: That's one of those little wrinkles that I'll let's see
• 24:55
  Speaker 15: what the defense is going to do and uh, I
• 24:58
  Speaker 15: don't know what's going on.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm laughing here. You're laughing because you know
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: that that sounds a lot easier than it. I mean,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: going back to what you remember, remember back to the
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: wildcart wildcat days of it was about what fifteen years
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: ago or so, when it was really a big deal. Well,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the difference between with all of that, the reason why
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: they were doing wildcats because your quarterback wasn't very good.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: That's that's really what it came down to. Your quarterback
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: wasn't good. I just wonder about a wildcat type thing
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: with Dak when I think Dak's a better thrower, and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I also think and he knows the offense better, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I think he's a good runner. So that was the
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: whole thing, is well, getting another guy that could like
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: run the ball in there, and but I think Dak
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: can kind of do both of those. So it sounds
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: easier than people are are kind of forgetting, you know,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: remembering here because you know, taking Dak off the field
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: is just not something we're used to. But if there's
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: if there's a package involved, I mean, I could see
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: two quarterbacks out there now that that's that's where you
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: should really get some wrinkle in there. Get him a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: guy out. Their receiver could throw a double pass. You know,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: it's not Cedric Wilson, it's a Trey Lance throwing the ball,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: So I could see something like that. But just putting
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Dak on the sideline for that play that that seems
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: like that's gonna be a little bit more problematic, especially
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: like on a Tuesday and Wednesday or Sunday after the
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: game interviewing. That's just I don't know. He didn't se
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: him that excited when they got him here. Take him
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: up the field and see what happens.
• 26:29
  Speaker 15: So yeah, or maybe like some type of a backward
• 26:32
  Speaker 15: past type is to him, you know, he signs up
• 26:35
  Speaker 15: in the backfield there there we go do like that
• 26:37
  Speaker 15: and if it's the reason right away, run it exactly.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I could see I could see something like that. I
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: could see them throwing some things out there. I think
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: that makes a little bit more sense than Hey, it's
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: third and goal down on the five yard line. We're
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: gonna take him, you know, take our you know, because
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: because you know what happens with that. I appreciate the call, Evince, Uh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: what what happens with that is it shows like this
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: and show it's like okay, because then now now we
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: put Dak's salary back on there, one hundred and forty million,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, you got this guy on the bench,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like anything and everything to
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: to stir it up, and that a play like that,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: as as gadgety as it might be, will stir the
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: pot and it'll it'll it's not gonna be fun for that,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: even though it might work or whatever, it leads to
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: to other things. But field both on the field at
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the same time, taking out a jayaln Tolvert just to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: use him and maybe to throw it. I'm all for that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Love it all right, Rob? Sorry? Rob from New Jersey.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Rob from New Jersey. What's up?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 27:36
  Speaker 16: Nick nig fan and the show and all your work.

  Speaker 2: Love it?
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, give it?
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go question first.
• 27:46
  Speaker 16: So my question is what does the DAK extension have
• 27:48
  Speaker 16: to look like in your opinion to consider his success
• 27:52
  Speaker 16: in terms of averting a cap crisis trying to lock
• 27:54
  Speaker 16: up all the use.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, you know, like like right now he's gonna count
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: fifty nine million on the cap next year. That can't happen.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: That that absolutely cannot happen. So, you know, I think
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens this year. I think he's gonna
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: have a good year, and I think it's gonna it
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: makes sense to do it. I would imagine them doing
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: it this year. Your your question is what what makes sense?
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I mean lowering lowering that that number for sure, and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: keeping him happy and in the range of you know,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I think he was the second quarter the second highest
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: paid quarterback when he did the deal, and then like
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: what two hours later, he was like fifth, And I
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: don't even know what he is now. I mean he's
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the pack. I mean, that's just
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the way it goes. Everyone just kind of, you know,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: leapfrogs each other. So, you know, making him happy, keeping
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: him in the top I don't know, five to seven
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: quarterback range, you know, as long as he's long, as
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: he's getting some enough guaranteed money. I just maybe I'm
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: not understanding exact part of your question.
• 28:54
  Speaker 16: No, No, that makes sense.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I mean they're gonna but I think they need to
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: see I don't know if they need to see him
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: perform this year. They just got to get on the
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: same page and right now. You know, I don't think
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: either one of them in a huge hurry. You know,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: deadlines make deals. They always say that. But but when
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: when the timing is right, it'll it'll be fine. And
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I just think it makes more sense to keep him
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: on the roster. They'll they'll make it work. And I
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: think you know they Jerry said it yesterday he's gonna
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: be here for a long time, and that means them
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: getting in a room, get down there and and and
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: figure it out.
• 29:22
  Speaker 16: No, of course, Yeah, and that's exactly where my question
• 29:24
  Speaker 16: comes from. After hearing him say that yesterday, I feel
• 29:27
  Speaker 16: like a extensions kind of and there.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Who's your who's your Cowboys?
• 29:33
  Speaker 16: My old time cowboy name is actually it's a distant
• 29:35
  Speaker 16: relative of my name is. George Andre was the defensive
• 29:37
  Speaker 16: line for the Super Bowl six team wait before my time,
• 29:40
  Speaker 16: but it's actually the reason my cowboy my family became
• 29:43
  Speaker 16: Cowboys fans back in the early sixties. Yeah, thanks for
• 29:46
  Speaker 16: taking my call.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate that really related to George Andre. He
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: he was a really, really good player. I mean, there's
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: no doubt about it. He was a really good player
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and probably very underrated. You know, I'm looking at the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: media guide. Fifth all time in sacks. George Andre he played,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: He played from nineteen sixty two to seventy two, had
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: ninety seven sacks. Couldn't come back and get three more,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: just get to one hundred. Actually, by then, they weren't
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: even keeping stats for sacks, not until nineteen eighty two,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: so he didn't even know. Probably how many he had,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: but fifth all time. I mean, we talk about this defense.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I mean DeMarcus Ware, Harvey Martin, Randy White, Too Tall, Jones,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: George Andre It's pretty it's pretty good. One of the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: reasons they had the doomsday defense. We had a text
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: question from Ryan and Michigan to the he responding to
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the caller, please know Trey Lance on the field this year?
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you? So okay. I mean, we'll see what happens.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it from our standpoint, like in the media,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: like that happens. That's just gonna be that's just gonna
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: be crazy. But we'll see. I mean, if it can
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: make it work. I mean, I think they can be
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: creative with it. But you know, if you're going to
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: get that creative, let's do something with Deuce. All right,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: ninth call, We've got got ninth calls. That's awesome. Maurice
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: in Tacoma, Washington. Maurice, what's up.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: There? Yes, I'm there.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: Hi.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Are you doing that?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I'm good? How about you?
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Not too bad? Man? I seen you at the game
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: of the Seattle I tried to highlight atitude man, but
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: he was a little bit a little bit busy on.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: The mic Oh, yeah, I were doing the sideline there.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I probably had that the headphones on. Uh yeah, yeah,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: that means you had a good seat, I can I
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: can tell you that you were down there pretty low.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Yep. Yeah. So my question is is about Anthony Brown.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: I really thought he was starting to come along a
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: little bit with that injury and kind of set him back,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: and I was hoping that the Cowboys would just kind
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: of let him take his time to get back and
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: then use him with that depth at cornerback, somebody that's
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: familiar with the defense. But we lost him, but he's
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: just on the practice squad. You think that maybe we
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: might just let him held up with another team to
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: come back, can get him later.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean I think I wouldn't see that.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they're they're probably moving on from him.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: I mean I think because uh, you know, when you
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: think about what they have at corner I mean, they've
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: they've got two that they love that they love their
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: as the starters. And then Deron Blanz right there. I mean,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: he's he had as good a camp as any of
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: those guys. So you got three corners that you really like,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and then you have also, you traded for ig Banagaty.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I think, well, I'm working on that one. But but
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: you know that's your that's your fourth corner. I mean,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: he replaces Kelvin Joseph there as your fourth guy. You
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: got Sean Wright, You've got Eric Scott. I just don't
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: see where bringing him back.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I don't. Now.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Injuries could change all that, but as for right now,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I don't see that one happening. Appreciate it all right, Well,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: thanks for the call. Appreciate that. All right, So we
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: are we're a little bit over time here. I think
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the phones have died down for a second. Gotta I'll
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: go back to a question here. This is This is
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: from bow in Laredo, Texas. For the Cowboys to win,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: which group is gonna have to have a bigger game
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: against the Giants on Sunday. The receivers, the running backs
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: or the defense for the Cowboys to win. I mean
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: to me, this thing starts with defense. So if you're
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: just gonna say defense is one of the three, I'll
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: take that is have. If defense has the best game
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: out of all of them, then I'll take my chances
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: that Dak and that offense is gonna score some points
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna get you know, make some things happen,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna win the game. If it's defense, if
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: it's just you know, running backs or receivers. Those receivers
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: are good. I mean, the Cowboys have good receivers. So
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: if the running backs can can outperform them, then I
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: know that it's gonna be a good day. It's gonna
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: be a good day for the Cowboys if the running
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: backs have a better day than the receivers. Because and
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: that's part of the case with that with every team
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and every league on every level, if you if you
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: run the football, you don't really have to throw, then
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have a you're gonna have a good day.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: And I think that that will probably happen with this team.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I'm so you know, anxious to see that. There's so
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: many things I want to see. I mean, I just
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: want to see football. You know, we all want to
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: see football that matters and it counts. It's it's so fun. Uh,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: preseason game, it's just it's just not the same. It's
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: just you just got to get through it. Hopefully you
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: don't have injuries, and of course the Cowboys did. Uh
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: in Seattle. Uh, they had they had some injuries. But
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: you know, you just want to see things. And I've
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: got a list of like a twenty things that I
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: that I just want to see, but running back is
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: one of them. Want to I want to see how
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: how Pollar can can can run the ball there between
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: the tackles and do it all all game long. I
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: want to see Rico Daddle. I want to see Deuce.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Everybody wants to see Deuce, want to see what he
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: can do. All right, let's go back. We got another
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: phone call that that just came in from Anaheim, California. Eric,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: What is up? Man?
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Eric?
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: Nick?
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I'm great, How are you good?
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: Good?
• 35:02
  Speaker 17: Miss you on the break man, But I'm glad you
• 35:04
  Speaker 17: got your own show now.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I think they're doing great over there, and
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: we're just we just wanted to have another show. We
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: can kind of throw in a show for for the fans,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: for you guys to be able to kind of vent
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: and and uh and voice your excitement or whatever happens.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for a Monday show after a game.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun what you got today?
• 35:23
  Speaker 17: So I was just I was calling because I wanted
• 35:25
  Speaker 17: to ask Uh, do you note the intentions uh from
• 35:29
  Speaker 17: Dallas Cowboys for Hunter Lipkey?
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: You know, now, I don't. I don't.
• 35:36
  Speaker 17: I'm not.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you and tell you I
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: know exactly what they're trying to do. I think what
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: they what they want is they they they like the
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: upside of of a guy that's got you know, he's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: got those kind of traits as far as uh, they
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: want to develop him as a blocker, you know, if
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: he can be a full back type. But also they
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: want to put the ball in his hands as well.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: They like the h bac Sean McEwan has done it
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: in the past. But but I think Hunter Lipkey gives
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: you a little more playmaking ability, somebody that you could
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: sneak out of the the backfield and you know, and
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: but as long as he's got to do the dirty
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: work too, if he can do that, because I think
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: in North Dakota State he was running the football, That's
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: what he was doing. And he's got some skill to
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: do that. Develop into a guy that that can that
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: can you know, stick his nose in there, maybe be
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: a lead blocker at time, put him in motion.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: The I can't I can't even forget forget the guy's
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: name in San Francisco. It's a that's it. Thanks Chris
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: for saying that he if you could be that type
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: of guy, which you can do a little bit of
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: everything and maybe a little bit of tight end some
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: full back, just just be a mismatch type guy and
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: then also help on special teams, I think that would
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: be uh something that they would really love to to
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: get out of him. Right now, they got to figure
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: out who they can take to the game. Can they
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: take all four of these guys to the game? Deuce
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: creates a little bit of a challenge because he don't
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: think he's going to be playing a ton of spec teams,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: and if the third running back is active, he's always
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: going to be playing special teams. I think Deuce really
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: helped Rico Daddle be here because Rico can play special teams,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: and I think it made more sense to keep Rico
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: on the team with Deuce, not a veteran, a you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Zeke type or a Fournett or whatever who's not going
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: to play special teams, because now you've got three running
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: backs and that aren't doing it. I think that having
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Deuce here probably helped Rico being here and then Hunter Lipke.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: We'll see where he falls into all that too. More calls.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: We got Servando from Corpus Christy. I say that right, Servando, Sirrondo,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: all right, I said it. I said it two different ways,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: so uh, either way, we'll go. Well from from Corpus Christy.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: What's going on? Man?
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: All right?
• 37:50
  Speaker 12: I'm going to stir up the pot here. I hope
• 37:52
  Speaker 12: this doesn't happen, but do you think Jerry Jones kipped
• 37:59
  Speaker 12: dan Quinn around in case Mike is on the hot
• 38:03
  Speaker 12: seat and said, Hey, if something happens and we don't
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: get to where we need to be, you're our next
• 38:10
  Speaker 12: head coach.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Uh, thank you for stirring that up. That's all we
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: have time for today on Cowboy storyline. Now, I'm can
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: m no, No, that's not why he kept him. He
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: kept him because he's a great defensive coach and this
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: is a great defense That's why he kept him because
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: he wanted him to be the defensive coordinator. And you
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: don't have a salary cap on the coaching staff, so
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: you can pay him what you want to pay him.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if dan Quinn had had a
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: job out there that he desperately wanted to take. I
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: think he wants to coach my Michael Parsons and and
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: and this this defense he didn't know. I don't think
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: he kept him here. So if that can happen, he
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: kept him here because so so that doesn't happen. So
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: this defense is so good that they're gonna win games
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: regardless of any injuries or anything that happens. I think
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: the offense is going to be pretty good too now.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: But no, I know, you keep your coordinators because you
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: think that they are going to help you win. And No,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: they've got guys on this staff that if they had to,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: if it got bad enough, somebody could come in and
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: and and coach. You know, is on an interim basis.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: I mean at that point you're looking for draft picks anyways.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: If that's the case, No, I think I think that
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: they wanted to keep this defense intact and they want,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: you know, Dan Quinn to be here. I'm not going
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: to even go down the road and think like that,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: because that's that's where you get yourself in trouble when
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: when that when that happens, just because it's what happened
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: with Jason Garrett Wade Phillips. When you think you have
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: the coach at waiting all that look at the college game.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Same thing. Every time you hear about this guy is
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: going to be the next head coach. It never seems
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: to work out that way. Something just doesn't line up
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: right unless that person is related to the coach. And
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: then you know, they they always seem to make it work.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: But I think dan Quinn was kept here because they
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: could pay them. You know, they paid them whatever they
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: paid them to make it work. And also because they
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: want to keep this defense rolling here. All right, let's
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: go back to the text line. Ryan from Michigan, he
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: said the Cowboys had twenty two interceptions in twenty twenty one.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Do you think the defense can get twenty five this year?
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: How many do you think Diggs and Gallimore will have combined? Okay,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: that was twenty twenty one. What they have last year?
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they had I was just thinking about that.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: I can't find this in the media guy that quick,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: But actually I can. How many do you think they'll
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: have this year? Well, probably not that many. I mean
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine them having a ton they had Actually
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: they had twenty six in twenty twenty one, and last
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: year they had sixteen. I'm not sure what the what
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: the numbers you're looking at here, but twenty six, twenty
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: one and eleven of those were digs. Last year they
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: dropped down to sixteen, and a lot of that was
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: because of Diggs, was because they weren't throwing the ball
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: to them that whole lot. How many will they have
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: this year? I would see over twenty. I'll, you know,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: split the biddle there. Sixteen last year. I think they
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: can get more than that. I think Gilmour will will
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: help with that. I think Land is a ball hawk
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: as well. They're gonna have to throw the digs a
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: little bit more than they did, and I think that's
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: gonna I think he'll get his number will get higher,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and I think that over all the team will as well.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: So it all comes back to what we said earlier.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Mazzis top of the run and all that, and then
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: that will lead to passing situations and they'll be able
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: to get more picks. I would see them getting over twenty,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: maybe not twenty six like they had two years ago,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: but I think over twenty sounds about right, and I
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: would look at digs to be in the range of
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: seven or eight. It's got great hands, great hands, got
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: receiver hands that will help them on those on those
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: big passes like that. All right, I am. I think
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: we're gonna call it a day here, except for no,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: we did have one more question and this will be
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: the end of it. We have from the three one
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: seven line, He says, first play the game, a flee
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: flicker to Brandon Cooks for a touchdown. He goes, I
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: know I would love it, and I would love it
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, if a flea flicker for a touchdown,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine what like like during the game. And
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: this is gonna sound like boastful, I'm not. I'm just saying.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've got I got a lot of followers,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: people like to talk during the game. Twitter for me
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: during the game, it just flies up. It just all
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: these responses and responses just flies up. If if they
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: have a flea flicker for a touchdown in a game,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine what what what it's gonna look like
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: on ex Twitter. I'm gonna call it that now. I
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: don't know why we haven't been calling it that. It's
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: called x Twitter. I mean it used to be Twitter
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: now it's ex Twitter, but this seems easy. It's call
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: it x twitter on ex Twitter. It is going to
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: be flying up there, flee flicker. You know, I would
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: do it. Won a game. I would do a flee
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: flicker won a game. But definitely, you know, if if,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: if they got new wrinkles with Schott, Neimer and McCarthy
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: calling the place, I don't want to see a flea flicker,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: and I definitely want to see it for a touchdown.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see what ex Twitter looks like though,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: because you guys are gonna be going crazy. It doesn't
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: matter what it is. Any flea flicker for a touchdown.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: It could be ball State versus Toledo. If there's a
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: flea flicker, somebody's tweeting me, He's like, did you see it?
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: So it happens. I love it. It's great play. I think
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: it would work, and I think just the thread of
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: it would certainly be great. Great show. Appreciate going overtime,
• 43:29
