- 0:04Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 2: This is Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman.
- 0:26Speaker 4: Hello, and welcome to a Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette.
- 0:29Speaker 4: It's Wednesday, October twenty ninth. I'm Nick Email. Let's talk
- 0:32Speaker 4: some Cowboy football. They got a big game coming up
- 0:35Speaker 4: this week. They're all big games at this point, right,
- 0:37Speaker 4: I mean, every single game, depending on what you want
- 0:39Speaker 4: to do, they're gonna be big games. There's never not
- 0:41Speaker 4: a big game. I guess I should just stop saying
- 0:43Speaker 4: that because they're all important, especially when you're at this
- 0:46Speaker 4: point in the season and you're not winning as many
- 0:49Speaker 4: games as you want to, and it's kind of this
- 0:51Speaker 4: up and down roller coaster that we've learned to live
- 0:55Speaker 4: with here with the Cowboys.
- 0:56Speaker 1: That this one.
- 0:57Speaker 4: But this game, this game's going to tell you everything
- 1:01Speaker 4: of what what this this season is probably going to be.
- 1:04Speaker 4: That's why I do think it's maybe bigger than most
- 1:06Speaker 4: because if you win against the Cardinals, it's not gonna
- 1:11Speaker 4: tell you that you are a playoff team. Lose to
- 1:16Speaker 4: the Cardinals, and then I think it'll it'll tell us
- 1:18Speaker 4: that that they're not for sure, and and then they're
- 1:21Speaker 4: already on the outside looking in. But but you know,
- 1:24Speaker 4: just knowing what what awaits them with the schedule and
- 1:27Speaker 4: all that, I think it. I think this is a
- 1:29Speaker 4: very very big game. It's it must win. If they
- 1:32Speaker 4: don't they don't win it, then then it's probably you know,
- 1:36Speaker 4: you can just tell this is going to be a
- 1:38Speaker 4: long season because these teams ahead of them are way better.
- 1:41Speaker 4: The quarterbacks are way better than the ones you're gonna face.
- 1:43Speaker 4: So you got to take care of business at home.
- 1:45Speaker 4: The good thing is Cowboys have done that. They've been
- 1:47Speaker 4: really good at home. They scored a lot of points
- 1:49Speaker 4: at home. So that's how you have to That's how
- 1:52Speaker 4: you have to balance for a defense that plays like this,
- 1:55Speaker 4: you got to be really really good on offense. And
- 1:57Speaker 4: that's what we've seen, especially at home. All right, Eight
- 2:00Speaker 4: eight five, five two nine seven is the number to call.
- 2:03Speaker 4: And let's start it off with Gary in New Mexico. Gary, Hey, Nick,
- 2:09Speaker 4: how are you doing.
- 2:10Speaker 5: I'm good man? How about yourself?
- 2:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing good? Yeah? Thank you?
- 2:17Speaker 5: All right, man, So back in the day. The Cardinals
- 2:20Speaker 5: used to play in some pretty big games. So can
- 2:23Speaker 5: you tell me the linebacker that once returned to kickoff
- 2:26Speaker 5: ninety seven yards for a touchdown against the old Saint
- 2:28Speaker 5: Louis Cardinals.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Yeah, he, uh, he was.
- 2:32Speaker 4: I don't know where he was from, but he but
- 2:33Speaker 4: he it was. It was like he was from Hollywood,
- 2:36Speaker 4: you know, Hollywood.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, doubt.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Now let me ask you did he Is that the
- 2:41Speaker 4: play that he dunked it over the goal post or
- 2:44Speaker 4: that was a different you know idunk.
- 2:47Speaker 5: The dunk over the gold post. He first did that
- 2:50Speaker 5: when he returned an interception seventy seven yards for a
- 2:53Speaker 5: touchdown against Tampa Bay.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 2:56Speaker 5: And then he got he got famous for doing it.
- 2:58Speaker 5: He did it in the NFC Championship over the Rams.
- 3:00Speaker 5: He dunked on them.
- 3:01Speaker 4: So not a lot of linebackers are dunking on the goalpost.
- 3:06Speaker 4: I'm not saying they can't. But yeah, different, No, he was.
- 3:10Speaker 5: He was a special player, man. And you know, I've
- 3:12Speaker 5: read a lot of the I'm a big historical guy,
- 3:14Speaker 5: so I read a lot of like autobiography. I've read
- 3:17Speaker 5: every autobiography of all those old cowboy players. By far,
- 3:21Speaker 5: Thomas Anderson's autobiography is the most entertaining. I mean, there's
- 3:25Speaker 5: some stuff in there that I mean, he could not
- 3:27Speaker 5: play today, and not because of talent, but because he
- 3:30Speaker 5: would be suspended all the time. But that dude, if
- 3:34Speaker 5: he could, and you know, the good news on him
- 3:36Speaker 5: is later on he straightened out his life and turned
- 3:38Speaker 5: the corner. But if he could have made better choices
- 3:40Speaker 5: as a young man, he would be in the Hall
- 3:42Speaker 5: of Fame. He was that good. But but anyway, onto
- 3:46Speaker 5: this year team, which unfortunately is not that good. I was.
- 3:50Speaker 5: I was not surprised at all by the result in Denver,
- 3:53Speaker 5: because you know, the Cowboys offense is good, but even
- 3:58Speaker 5: even the best offenses, when you on the road and
- 4:00Speaker 5: play elite defenses, they're gonna struggle and you're gonna have
- 4:04Speaker 5: to be able. If you're gonna be a championship contender,
- 4:06Speaker 5: you're gonna have to win some games seventeen to thirteen.
- 4:09Speaker 5: And if you look at the Cowboys Super Bowl years,
- 4:11Speaker 5: you know they got you know, seventeen thirteen wins, sixteen
- 4:14Speaker 5: to ten wins. So the Cowboys just aren't there yet.
- 4:18Speaker 5: And you got me thinking last week when we talked
- 4:20Speaker 5: about this whole trade scenario, trade deadline deal, and you
- 4:24Speaker 5: make some good points. And then I heard somebody on
- 4:28Speaker 5: the radio last week talk about trading both ones and
- 4:31Speaker 5: a two to get two all Pro players from other teams.
- 4:35Speaker 5: I don't know what the realistic deal of that is.
- 4:37Speaker 5: And then he said, then you build around that. My
- 4:40Speaker 5: problem is if you trade away that much high capital,
- 4:43Speaker 5: you don't have anything left to build around that. Yeah,
- 4:46Speaker 5: and this defense, I mean, this is a tough situation,
- 4:49Speaker 5: and the defense I think is so far off. My
- 4:53Speaker 5: thought on this right now is that you just play
- 4:55Speaker 5: out the season. Let these young guys like ez Rock
- 4:58Speaker 5: who go and develop take all of those first. You
- 5:01Speaker 5: take all your draft capital into the next year's draft,
- 5:04Speaker 5: You re sign George Pickens, You've got your offensive line
- 5:07Speaker 5: starting to be rebuilt. Now, you use that draft capital
- 5:11Speaker 5: and you draft defensive players, and you spend big in
- 5:14Speaker 5: free agency, and you try to overhaul the defense, because
- 5:17Speaker 5: I don't think trading away high capital for one or
- 5:20Speaker 5: two players is even I don't even think it's going
- 5:22Speaker 5: to help them in the long run. Now, the flip
- 5:24Speaker 5: side of that is is do you trust them to
- 5:26Speaker 5: draft defensive personnel? And the track record, the last few
- 5:29Speaker 5: years is that they struggle drafting defensive players. So I
- 5:33Speaker 5: don't know what to do. I just wish they would
- 5:35Speaker 5: do something better. But I'll hang up and listen to
- 5:38Speaker 5: your to your thoughts. I appreciate the call.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Thank thank you, Gary.
- 5:41Speaker 4: What's funny is that all of the things that you said,
- 5:45Speaker 4: I mean, it all makes sense. It's all one way
- 5:47Speaker 4: to think of it. Some people don't agree, but you know,
- 5:49Speaker 4: you can tweak some of the things. But then at
- 5:51Speaker 4: the end you're like, I don't know what to do.
- 5:54Speaker 4: I just think they should do it better. And that
- 5:57Speaker 4: kind of sums up everything about what this team. And
- 6:01Speaker 4: it's tough. I mean, what are the answers. I mean,
- 6:03Speaker 4: we got questions, we just don't have any answers. And
- 6:07Speaker 4: and there's a lot of different ways to go. And
- 6:10Speaker 4: I think by listening to some of that that you
- 6:13Speaker 4: said that I kind of fall somewhere in between some
- 6:18Speaker 4: of that. I do think that they should trade they
- 6:23Speaker 4: you know, try to try to try to do something.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Try to try to make a trade and do do something,
- 6:27Speaker 4: because you know, for for those that say they don't
- 6:31Speaker 4: want them to do anything, they're gonna want them to
- 6:34Speaker 4: do something. In free agency obviously every year they do,
- 6:37Speaker 4: and so this is kind of their way of doing
- 6:40Speaker 4: something in free agency. You're just kind of getting ahead
- 6:42Speaker 4: of the game. The problem though, when you're trading away
- 6:46Speaker 4: like you know, like like for instance, the Packers, you know,
- 6:51Speaker 4: you can sit there and say, well, yeah, we got
- 6:53Speaker 4: Michael Parsons, so he's worth two first round picks. True,
- 6:57Speaker 4: but he's he's a lot more expensive than to first
- 6:59Speaker 4: round picks. And so that's that's the thing when you
- 7:02Speaker 4: and you're not expecting to pay a lot for those
- 7:05Speaker 4: guys until maybe they get to their next contract. So
- 7:07Speaker 4: that's kind of the difference between if you trade somebody
- 7:10Speaker 4: trade a first round pick for a player and get
- 7:12Speaker 4: this contract. That's you're not getting a high, high, high
- 7:15Speaker 4: contract by even drafting them in the first round. So
- 7:19Speaker 4: from a team with the salary cap, I mean that
- 7:20Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons why the Cowboys aren't just
- 7:23Speaker 4: trading first round picks for for talent. They don't have
- 7:26Speaker 4: a ton of room on the on the salary cap
- 7:28Speaker 4: to do that. And that's that's what you need. What
- 7:30Speaker 4: you need to be a really good team is cheap superstars.
- 7:34Speaker 4: That's what you need when you get a quarterback that
- 7:36Speaker 4: hasn't hit that contract yet and he's playing great like
- 7:39Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts did or even Dak did early on. That's
- 7:42Speaker 4: a cheap superstar, cheap quarterback, and then you can build
- 7:45Speaker 4: them with other other players. And so that's what you need.
- 7:48Speaker 4: You need as many cheap superstars as you can. And
- 7:50Speaker 4: it's hard to do that if you're trading away your picks.
- 7:52Speaker 4: All right, I'm a in Napa, California.
- 7:55Speaker 3: I'm a hey, what's up, Nate? Good morning?
- 7:58Speaker 1: What's up?
- 8:00Speaker 3: Man? I'm always just excited to get on on, you know,
- 8:04Speaker 3: on the line with yours. It's it's a hard man
- 8:06Speaker 3: to get hold of. So give you a little bit
- 8:08Speaker 3: of flowers. You're doing a great job, man, and listen.
- 8:11Speaker 3: You know, if I can't listen live, I was to
- 8:13Speaker 3: listen to the playback and always try to call in,
- 8:15Speaker 3: but I'd limit my calls to maybe about a hundred
- 8:17Speaker 3: because I am at work, so I figure out about
- 8:20Speaker 3: a hundred. It's like, all right, it's good now it's.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Early over there. You get to work early. It's eight
- 8:24Speaker 1: o'clock in California.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Oh I know, man, you know what is early? Bird
- 8:28Speaker 3: gets the worm? Man, you get it going, get it
- 8:31Speaker 3: going early, usually get out early. So that's my philosophy. Man,
- 8:36Speaker 3: I don't want to go back, so I'm going to
- 8:38Speaker 3: just go forward. Being a bunch of talk about trading players.
- 8:43Speaker 3: I mean, man, again to the flowers I want to
- 8:45Speaker 3: give you. It's just like you deal with all of
- 8:46Speaker 3: us fans and storyliners, like we're so emotional. Rob in Vegas,
- 8:53Speaker 3: like one one week he's all in after a win, like, yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 3: we got to make these trades on defense. Next week
- 9:00Speaker 3: he's like, horrible, there's nothing we can do to fix it.
- 9:03Speaker 3: So again, just appreciate you, know, you and Chris is
- 9:07Speaker 3: putting up with us all well, going forward.
- 9:11Speaker 4: That but I'll say it after the call. But but
- 9:14Speaker 4: I thank you for saying that. Thank you for saying that.
- 9:16Speaker 4: It's not always easy, but it's fun. And but I'll
- 9:20Speaker 4: talk about that a little bit after after your other
- 9:22Speaker 4: point of question.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Yeah, my point is just really quick. I'm with you
- 9:28Speaker 3: as far as like, Man, you know, at first, I
- 9:31Speaker 3: was like, let's not do anything. We should hold on
- 9:34Speaker 3: our owner and our GM has already said we're building
- 9:37Speaker 3: for the future. I know he said, you know, we're
- 9:39Speaker 3: always open for business, but he made it he made
- 9:42Speaker 3: it clear. You know, trading Micah is your best player
- 9:45Speaker 3: possibly or one a best player, you know, a way
- 9:50Speaker 3: to another team. And you look at it every week.
- 9:53Speaker 3: It's like, man, somebody needs to affect the quarterback, get
- 9:56Speaker 3: after him, push him, do something. And we're talking about
- 10:00Speaker 3: that guy and we traded them. So to me, it's
- 10:02Speaker 3: like been back and forth about do we pick up
- 10:04Speaker 3: a player? Man, I don't I don't know if we
- 10:08Speaker 3: find that player, you know, versus our draft picks and
- 10:12Speaker 3: what's worth it and what's not, and how we're so
- 10:17Speaker 3: banged up in the secondary. I'd like to see a
- 10:20Speaker 3: trade for like a Minka Fitzpatrick or something like that,
- 10:23Speaker 3: if we are going to do something. But I'm okay with,
- 10:26Speaker 3: you know, riding out with the offense and seeing what happens.
- 10:30Speaker 3: If we are going to ride it out with offense
- 10:31Speaker 3: and not make any changes with defense, let's get it
- 10:34Speaker 3: over quick, man. Let's get our offensive chance to get
- 10:37Speaker 3: out there as much as possible, and let's blitz, blitz, blitz,
- 10:42Speaker 3: just bring it, you know what I mean. Like, if
- 10:44Speaker 3: they're going to beat us, let them beat us, and
- 10:46Speaker 3: then let our offense get out there and give them
- 10:48Speaker 3: a chance because there's no reason. It's so painful to
- 10:53Speaker 3: watch twenty yard runs and these big pass plays where
- 10:57Speaker 3: the quarterback stands back there and it's just non affected.
- 11:02Speaker 3: It's like he's playing seven on seven with no pass rush.
- 11:05Speaker 3: So all right, all right, yeah, Nick, I appreciate everything.
- 11:10Speaker 3: You and Chris are doing a great job. I got
- 11:11Speaker 3: to send you some wine. Man, You're great. Love you guys, thank.
- 11:14Speaker 1: You, thank you so much. All right.
- 11:17Speaker 4: I love how you said from NAPA, he's got to
- 11:19Speaker 4: send us some wine. I don't drink wine, but I
- 11:22Speaker 4: know people that do, so I do. Thank you, Chris.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, you are kind of boogie like that,
- 11:30Speaker 1: all right, you know.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Blitzing early, blitzing late, scoring early, I mean yeah, these
- 11:38Speaker 4: are all all things that you you know that that
- 11:41Speaker 4: you want to you want to see this this team do.
- 11:43Speaker 4: I think getting getting a lead, obviously, you know, changes
- 11:47Speaker 4: the course of the game. That's why it's so important
- 11:49Speaker 4: that you know, you can say, well, I wouldn't have
- 11:50Speaker 4: mattered if they got that touchdown early on. I disagree.
- 11:53Speaker 4: I think it does change the flow of the game.
- 11:55Speaker 4: And so I like having the ball to start the
- 11:57Speaker 4: third quarter. All but you know, at this point if
- 12:03Speaker 4: they feel like getting the ball. You know, if they
- 12:05Speaker 4: win the toss Monday night, they're going to take the ball,
- 12:08Speaker 4: probably go and go score and try to put the
- 12:10Speaker 4: put the pressure on Arizona. And I don't know if
- 12:12Speaker 4: I disagree with that. I just know, I know I
- 12:14Speaker 4: like having the ball to start the third quarter. But
- 12:16Speaker 4: I'm kind of good with with whatever at this point.
- 12:19Speaker 4: All right, Brian and Kansas City's next.
- 12:21Speaker 6: Good morning, sir, Hey Brian, how are you doing, good man?
- 12:26Speaker 7: You know, I was thinking about you know, everybody's talking
- 12:28Speaker 7: about trades, and you know it makes sense. You know,
- 12:31Speaker 7: there's only a week left.
- 12:32Speaker 6: Before the deadline, so I was thinking, you know, all
- 12:36Speaker 6: the big bold moves they've made over the years. Obviously,
- 12:40Speaker 6: Haley and Dion Sanders are the biggest, right and they
- 12:43Speaker 6: paid off big time, but you know there have been others.
- 12:47Speaker 6: Joey Galloway, Gry Williams. Amari was a big one. You know,
- 12:53Speaker 6: they just didn't pay the same dividends. But you know,
- 12:56Speaker 6: they've made a lot of those big, gigantic, you know,
- 12:59Speaker 6: swing for the fence moves.
- 13:01Speaker 7: Yeah, sometimes they pay off and sometimes they don't, and
- 13:04Speaker 7: you just got to live with the results.
- 13:06Speaker 6: If they don't pay off.
- 13:08Speaker 7: But you know, those are the things that helped us
- 13:11Speaker 7: in the nineties get over the hump. You know, those
- 13:13Speaker 7: are the two moves that did it. Hey, I was
- 13:16Speaker 7: thinking for a double agent this week. I was thinking
- 13:20Speaker 7: the guy that revived his career, big, big Leonard Davis.
- 13:24Speaker 7: You know, May moved from you know, it's kind of
- 13:26Speaker 7: considered a bust on their team, and then you know,
- 13:29Speaker 7: came over and played guard for us and you know
- 13:32Speaker 7: had I don't know how many Pro Bowls in a row,
- 13:35Speaker 7: but I mean he hit like two or three Pro
- 13:37Speaker 7: Bowls in a row playing guard for us. That figured
- 13:41Speaker 7: you probably had a story on him other than you know,
- 13:43Speaker 7: you know, that's a guy that blocks a lot of light. Yeah,
- 13:47Speaker 7: I'll listen to what you got to say, off air man, Take.
- 13:49Speaker 4: Care, appreciate that. Thanks for the call, Brian. Leonard Davis.
- 13:55Speaker 4: You know, Leonard Davis is one of those guys. And
- 13:57Speaker 4: I don't know how many there are. I have a
- 13:58Speaker 4: couple examples, but I mean he's one of those guys
- 14:00Speaker 4: where he's so big and strong and and you know
- 14:04Speaker 4: he played tackle in college and so you get to
- 14:07Speaker 4: the league, You're like, gotta have this guy right, and
- 14:09Speaker 4: we're gonna draft him second overall or third or fourth whatever,
- 14:13Speaker 4: you know, these these type of guys. And then he's
- 14:15Speaker 4: gonna have to play tackle because I mean, that's how
- 14:16Speaker 4: you justify it, and it doesn't really work out. And
- 14:20Speaker 4: then and then they turns out he's he's really a guard,
- 14:23Speaker 4: and I know you don't want to draft the guard
- 14:25Speaker 4: second overall at Arizona, but he's not a tackle, you know.
- 14:29Speaker 4: And and it happened to the NBA all the time.
- 14:30Speaker 4: They draft these guys seven to eight overall, and they're
- 14:32Speaker 4: really better coming off the bench. So you have to
- 14:34Speaker 4: wait till that next wave, that next contract to really
- 14:37Speaker 4: get the kind of player that they really are. Maybe
- 14:39Speaker 4: they're not a superstar, but or maybe they're not, you know,
- 14:42Speaker 4: the at the premier position in Leonard Davis. Robert Gallery
- 14:45Speaker 4: is another guy from the Raiders. I think once they
- 14:47Speaker 4: got moved him to guard, like this is where you're
- 14:49Speaker 4: supposed to be. And then as it got later on
- 14:52Speaker 4: Quentin Nelson from the Colts, they just drafted him that
- 14:54Speaker 4: that high and he's that good. And Zach Martin wasn't
- 14:57Speaker 4: that high, but he was still drafted high like that.
- 14:59Speaker 4: Booker as well, so it's fine to draft these guards.
- 15:01Speaker 4: I think Leonard Davis's example of that. The story that
- 15:04Speaker 4: I would say is the time that now I might
- 15:06Speaker 4: have told this earlier, when oh, now, and now I
- 15:10Speaker 4: forgot his name from uh, who's the guy we just
- 15:13Speaker 4: saw from the from the Ukraine, big old defensive tackle.
- 15:17Speaker 1: His name escapes me.
- 15:18Speaker 4: I can't believe that, but uh, we just saw him
- 15:21Speaker 4: the other day and he he body slammed. He body
- 15:25Speaker 4: slammed Leonard Davis into Jason Witten's ankle. They were kind
- 15:29Speaker 4: of just messing around one day at training camp and
- 15:33Speaker 4: he just say, oh, you can't pick body slam me,
- 15:35Speaker 4: and he did. He body slammed him right into right
- 15:37Speaker 4: into Jason Witten's ankle. That wasn't such a good idea.
- 15:42Speaker 4: But who who's my guy here? Being igor Olshansky, That's
- 15:47Speaker 4: what it was, igor Olshansky. I guess Chris isn't working today,
- 15:50Speaker 4: all right? Zach in Atlanta?
- 15:53Speaker 8: Hey, what's up nicking Frisco?
- 15:54Speaker 1: What's up?
- 15:57Speaker 7: Man?
- 15:57Speaker 8: What do we what do we want to talk about today?
- 16:00Speaker 1: A punt return? I don't know.
- 16:04Speaker 9: Yeah, we we could use some of those.
- 16:10Speaker 1: In general, you know what I mean? Like, how about
- 16:11Speaker 1: just get off the field and actually have a punt return.
- 16:15Speaker 8: Nice. Yeah, yeah, man, I obviously you set up the
- 16:21Speaker 8: top of the show. The Cardinals game is gonna kind
- 16:24Speaker 8: of be a big turning point for us.
- 16:27Speaker 9: I have to win if we consider any sort of trades.
- 16:30Speaker 9: But I'm still holding my breath. I'm on records saying
- 16:34Speaker 9: I like Shoddy, but with a rookie head coach. I mean,
- 16:37Speaker 9: if there's any sort of wild card run to be made,
- 16:41Speaker 9: how's he going to navigate that? Obviously flues even if
- 16:45Speaker 9: we get a couple of pieces in there, do we Yeah,
- 16:50Speaker 9: there's so many question marks. We're all navigating this roller
- 16:53Speaker 9: coaster together. And that's what I like about storyline. I
- 16:56Speaker 9: feel validated in a lot of my frustrations. But uh man,
- 17:01Speaker 9: uh double agent for the week, piggybacking off of Brian
- 17:05Speaker 9: Kansas City. Can you take us back to the Emmett
- 17:08Speaker 9: Smith game when he returned to Dallas and when they
- 17:12Speaker 9: played Yeah, and that's all I got, man, take care.
- 17:16Speaker 4: All right, man, I have a story, but but I
- 17:20Speaker 4: but I can't tell it.
- 17:21Speaker 1: That's what sucks.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I have a story about that game, and that's that's
- 17:25Speaker 4: kind of a tease. I'm sorry, but that, uh, that's
- 17:29Speaker 4: definitely not one for for the air.
- 17:30Speaker 1: But man, that that that game, that was it, that
- 17:33Speaker 1: was just weird.
- 17:34Speaker 8: You know.
- 17:34Speaker 4: I mean there's no there's no color that stands out
- 17:37Speaker 4: more for you know, you know, for the Cowboys than
- 17:41Speaker 4: than red. You know, I mean you ever seen a
- 17:44Speaker 4: red Cowboys ster? I mean, it really really doesn't happen
- 17:47Speaker 4: unless unless we get one of those college teams that
- 17:50Speaker 4: wants to have those three guys on the side signaling plays,
- 17:53Speaker 4: you know, in some weird colors, which it's kind of
- 17:56Speaker 4: stupid to me, but whatever. But but Emmitt Smith's wearing
- 17:59Speaker 4: red just it wasn't it wasn't right, didn't feel good,
- 18:02Speaker 4: and he uh, you know, I don't have a whole
- 18:05Speaker 4: lot of stories where he didn't play long. I mean,
- 18:06Speaker 4: he's gotten knocked out of the game quickly, and uh,
- 18:11Speaker 4: I'm not saying he begged out of the game, but
- 18:13Speaker 4: I think he was okay with that. I don't think
- 18:14Speaker 4: he was comfortable with that whole situation and maybe that
- 18:17Speaker 4: that whole season. Uh, but you know, he had a
- 18:20Speaker 4: record to pad and he did, he certainly did, and
- 18:23Speaker 4: he got he got it so far out there that
- 18:25Speaker 4: I don't. Nobody's ever gonna gonna get it, gonna touch that,
- 18:29Speaker 4: and that was important to him. It always was, you know,
- 18:31Speaker 4: and so that that's fine. I really don't have a
- 18:33Speaker 4: lot of story. I don't remember much about that game,
- 18:36Speaker 4: except for maybe maybe is that the game they had
- 18:40Speaker 4: two safeties. I think the Cowboys had two safeties in
- 18:44Speaker 4: that game, like uh, le Roy Glover and I don't know,
- 18:50Speaker 4: Kenyon Coleman or somebody had a couple of had a
- 18:53Speaker 4: couple of safeties. I mean, maybe the last time they
- 18:55Speaker 4: had two safeties in the same game. I could be
- 18:56Speaker 4: thinking of a different game. But it was a one
- 18:59Speaker 4: sided game.
- 18:59Speaker 8: There was.
- 19:00Speaker 4: The story was Emmit and he didn't play much in
- 19:02Speaker 4: The Cowboys were able to win the game. Maybe even
- 19:06Speaker 4: a fleet flicker, now that I'm starting to think about that,
- 19:08Speaker 4: maybe a long touchdown to Terry Glenn that might have been.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Maybe not anyways, all right, let's keep going Steven and
- 19:14Speaker 1: New York.
- 19:16Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, what's up?
- 19:17Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 19:18Speaker 10: You're exactly right about that game too.
- 19:20Speaker 8: Safety was the.
- 19:22Speaker 10: Leroy Clover and Kenyon Coleman will played for us for
- 19:25Speaker 10: a little while.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, the score of that game was the score
- 19:31Speaker 1: you remember the score.
- 19:32Speaker 10: Oh god, you know what twenties it was. It was
- 19:37Speaker 10: one sided. I know that. I just remember Emma getting
- 19:40Speaker 10: hammered by it.
- 19:40Speaker 11: Yea, Roy Williams.
- 19:42Speaker 10: I actually felt bad. I really did.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:44Speaker 10: And once a player leaves the Cowboys, I you know,
- 19:47Speaker 10: that's it. But I that's one of the games. I
- 19:49Speaker 10: was like, oh, man, I hope he doesn't come back.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Yeah, and he didn't.
- 19:52Speaker 10: And he didn't. So November fourth can't come and go
- 19:57Speaker 10: quick enough for me because I'm just this stuff on
- 20:01Speaker 10: Twitter I do. And all the trades the Twitter gms,
- 20:04Speaker 10: I get it. The latest one is trading one of
- 20:07Speaker 10: our wide receivers. I don't know if you've seen that
- 20:09Speaker 10: one going around. Here's the thing, and I'm I know
- 20:13Speaker 10: you don't agree with me, but I'm one who wants
- 20:15Speaker 10: to kind of stand pat. I don't want to do anything.
- 20:19Speaker 10: I just I think we are where we are right
- 20:21Speaker 10: now because of questionable drafting. Drafting. We want to get
- 20:27Speaker 10: players that I think we could have gotten in the draft,
- 20:30Speaker 10: but we've had some misses. And everybody, you know what
- 20:33Speaker 10: I mean. And that's the thing. Everybody gives us credit
- 20:35Speaker 10: when we make the good picks, and we've taken for
- 20:38Speaker 10: granted the offensive line because we have how many did
- 20:41Speaker 10: we hit one after the other on the offensive line?
- 20:44Speaker 11: Right now?
- 20:45Speaker 10: It got a little bit you know where you know,
- 20:47Speaker 10: you got to remember it. Well, we need defensive help. Okay,
- 20:50Speaker 10: it was Tristan Hill. There were guys who you look
- 20:53Speaker 10: back and you're like, wow, you know, there was some missus.
- 20:56Speaker 10: So that's why I want to stand pat But at
- 20:59Speaker 10: the same time, you know, you want to say, well,
- 21:02Speaker 10: keep the draft picks. Well, look at the recent drafts
- 21:04Speaker 10: that we've had. So that's why I think it gets
- 21:06Speaker 10: a little, uh, kind of a contradiction. Do you follow
- 21:09Speaker 10: what I mean?
- 21:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and I'm kind of looking at you know,
- 21:12Speaker 4: anything past the third round is kind of a crap
- 21:15Speaker 4: shoot to me. So I mean to say, oh, you
- 21:18Speaker 4: whifted on that fourth round or fifth round pick. I mean,
- 21:21Speaker 4: but but you're I mean, I'm looking at the defensive
- 21:23Speaker 4: players drafted in the first three rounds last few years. Ezraku.
- 21:26Speaker 4: We'll see Revel, We'll see and then Kneeland and Leah
- 21:30Speaker 4: Fou okay, Mazzie Smith overshown okay, and Sam Williams and
- 21:38Speaker 4: then Kelvin Joseph Osa Chauncey Golston, Na Sean Wright. Yeah, sorry,
- 21:45Speaker 4: sorry I did skip over one. One player drafted Michael
- 21:48Speaker 4: Harrison's good pick.
- 21:50Speaker 1: That's a good pick. How's he doing?
- 21:53Speaker 10: Yeah? But also the guy yeah, just you know, because
- 21:56Speaker 10: I remember things, the guy who not too many well,
- 22:00Speaker 10: I'm saying not going to do a lot of people
- 22:01Speaker 10: were not thrilled about that pick because there were two
- 22:03Speaker 10: cornerbacks if you remember who the cow Yeah. People forget
- 22:07Speaker 10: that though, but you know the Cowboys.
- 22:10Speaker 4: Lost both of them in the last three weeks.
- 22:14Speaker 10: Yeah, I was just thinking about that real quick on
- 22:16Speaker 10: the trivia. I lived in New York. Obviously, I go
- 22:19Speaker 10: down to Dallas a lot of twenty fourteen. I go
- 22:22Speaker 10: down there. Excellent year for the Cowboys, but Romo was
- 22:26Speaker 10: out that game against the Cardinals. They lost. But early
- 22:30Speaker 10: in the game, I think it was Carson Palmers, the quarterback.
- 22:36Speaker 10: I pretty sure.
- 22:36Speaker 4: I'm on the.
- 22:38Speaker 10: Other side of the field. He throws a pick six
- 22:40Speaker 10: and the place is going nuts and everyone's chair. The
- 22:43Speaker 10: guy next to me says, who was that? I was like,
- 22:47Speaker 10: I have no idea, And it wasn't a branding Carr.
- 22:50Speaker 10: It wasn't you know. Anyway, The guy who picked it
- 22:52Speaker 10: off for a touchdown. Was only career interception he had.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Tyler Pattman, Wow you're doing is that Tyler Patman?
- 23:01Speaker 10: Tyler I remember?
- 23:04Speaker 1: Wow.
- 23:05Speaker 4: You know what else I remember about Tyler Patman is
- 23:09Speaker 4: as Bryant thought that he could he could, uh, he
- 23:12Speaker 4: could throw some punches at practice one day and and
- 23:16Speaker 4: they got into it. And I don't know what Tyler
- 23:18Speaker 4: Patman is doing now, but he could be. He could
- 23:21Speaker 4: be in the ring somewhere.
- 23:22Speaker 1: I mean he's got some hands.
- 23:23Speaker 12: That was.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Pretty sure, Tyler Patman. Yeah, it.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Dez got into it and yeah, Des kept his helmet
- 23:33Speaker 4: on there, so yeah, Patman, but he did. Yeah, he
- 23:37Speaker 4: had that pick six. I guess that was early in
- 23:39Speaker 4: the game. Yeah, I forgot it.
- 23:40Speaker 10: Yeah, and then another game was done after it was seven.
- 23:44Speaker 10: Not in the place going out. Cent was absolutely done.
- 23:45Speaker 10: Brandon Weedy was pretty sure Brandon Weed was our quarterback man.
- 23:51Speaker 4: All right, thank you, Steve, appreciate that. All right, we
- 23:53Speaker 4: uh getting a little chatty today. It is probably my fault.
- 23:56Speaker 4: Were only at five calls. Got to take a break,
- 23:59Speaker 4: see if we can kind of pick up the pace

- 26:09Speaker 4: Dylan and Wichita falls. Dylan, what's up?
- 26:12Speaker 9: Hey?
- 26:12Speaker 10: Nick?
- 26:12Speaker 16: What's going on?
- 26:13Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 26:15Speaker 16: Pretty good man? All things considered from Sunday, but trying
- 26:18Speaker 16: to trying to stay positive somewhat, you know, yeah.
- 26:23Speaker 1: For sure you can. Yeah, that's all you can be. Yep,
- 26:27Speaker 1: I haven't been to Wichita Falls in a while. I
- 26:28Speaker 1: need to get back there.
- 26:30Speaker 10: Maybe how long has it been a.
- 26:32Speaker 4: Couple of years? Maybe maybe if our my alumni would
- 26:37Speaker 4: actually have a good product on the field or the court, I.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Might get a game.
- 26:42Speaker 4: I know how I have heard those guys. Yeah, anyways,
- 26:46Speaker 4: what do you got Dylan?
- 26:48Speaker 16: Uh? I haven't been able to listen to live, so
- 26:50Speaker 16: if I'm repeating something, I apologize, but I just wanted
- 26:52Speaker 16: to respond. I think it was Dylan from Florida asked
- 26:56Speaker 16: what are the bones to our defense? Are there any
- 26:58Speaker 16: bones to our defense? And I just want to say, yeah,
- 27:01Speaker 16: there are, Like we have a three headed monster in
- 27:04Speaker 16: our defensive tackle room. I mean Doron Bland is still
- 27:07Speaker 16: on the team, and I mean we haven't seen him
- 27:09Speaker 16: play all year since last year, but overshown two. You know,
- 27:12Speaker 16: these are legit pieces on our defense. You know, it
- 27:14Speaker 16: just hasn't killed together.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:16Speaker 16: And the only other thing I'd add is, you know
- 27:19Speaker 16: it's easy for us to call for eber Flus's head
- 27:21Speaker 16: after what we've seen, and I know some fundamental things
- 27:24Speaker 16: have been missing, But I think that's just too convenient
- 27:27Speaker 16: of an answer, because I mean, I think the front
- 27:30Speaker 16: office when they let go of Jordan Lewis. I think
- 27:32Speaker 16: it hurt us a lot more than they thought it would,
- 27:36Speaker 16: and we just need to build around some of these
- 27:38Speaker 16: pieces we already have. And I just don't know if
- 27:40Speaker 16: going out and getting a new coordinator is going to
- 27:42Speaker 16: be the solution, going out and hunting down a new
- 27:44Speaker 16: coordinator installing another defense for another year. I just think
- 27:49Speaker 16: we should build around what we already have instead of
- 27:51Speaker 16: scrapping it and throwing it away. I don't know, I
- 27:54Speaker 16: just kind of want to hear Europe.
- 27:55Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I mean, that's fair too. I mean, thanks
- 27:57Speaker 4: for the call, Dylan. And you know, thinking about this
- 28:01Speaker 4: just the other day. If if you know, let's say
- 28:04Speaker 4: that eber Flus is let go at some point, maybe
- 28:06Speaker 4: it's this year, maybe next year, whatever, you know. I mean,
- 28:10Speaker 4: the the narrative in a few years is going to
- 28:13Speaker 4: be they got him in here, here he comes in.
- 28:16Speaker 4: He's like, I got some players now, you know, I
- 28:19Speaker 4: got I got Michael Parsons, I got Trayvon Diggs. We
- 28:22Speaker 4: just resigned Osa, you know, we we we got some
- 28:25Speaker 4: we got some guys, you know, and the overshown will
- 28:27Speaker 4: be back, Doroan Bland.
- 28:28Speaker 1: We're gonna sign him.
- 28:30Speaker 4: I got some dudes, got veteran safeties, and it started obviously,
- 28:35Speaker 4: then they traded Mike away, and then you know, and
- 28:37Speaker 4: then Digs never really played much, and the safeties all
- 28:40Speaker 4: got hurt and I got fired, you know, And it's
- 28:43Speaker 4: more truth than that. But because I'm kind of I
- 28:47Speaker 4: don't want to be hypocritical here, but I'm just saying
- 28:49Speaker 4: that that's one side of it, Like especially the Michael thing.
- 28:52Speaker 4: You know, I come here, I'm installing a defense. Michael
- 28:55Speaker 4: doesn't ever show up, never practices, never here. We're trying
- 28:58Speaker 4: to figure is he gonna be here?
- 28:59Speaker 1: Is he not?
- 29:00Speaker 4: They gotta figure this out. Then they trade them. And
- 29:02Speaker 4: now now they got a bunch of pass rushers that
- 29:04Speaker 4: that are just okay, are just average at best. So
- 29:09Speaker 4: that's not really a fair narrative toward him. On the
- 29:13Speaker 4: flip side, we've seen defenses that they didn't have a
- 29:16Speaker 4: lot of players, a lot of injuries and all that,
- 29:19Speaker 4: and not as not as bad as this.
- 29:21Speaker 1: They still figure out a way to kind of like,
- 29:23Speaker 1: all right, well.
- 29:23Speaker 4: Let's piece this thing together, and we at least we
- 29:26Speaker 4: had an offense we could lean on and.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Bend, but don't break. But they break.
- 29:31Speaker 4: That's what that's the problem this This defense breaks, I
- 29:33Speaker 4: mean Ben's and it breaks. That's what's bad about this defense.
- 29:37Speaker 4: It's a bed and break defense. And I don't think
- 29:40Speaker 4: I've ever said that before. All right, Rick in Massachusetts.
- 29:45Speaker 17: Hey, Deck, you do them good?
- 29:47Speaker 1: How are you?
- 29:48Speaker 17: I'm good, I'm good. I was thinking about this all
- 29:52Speaker 17: day yesterday, rading stuff especially from Patrick.
- 29:55Speaker 9: No.
- 29:56Speaker 17: See, there's a think angling as the safety clues. I know,
- 30:01Speaker 17: we have five safeties that are hurt whenever we only
- 30:04Speaker 17: got really one safety with Bell. They're going to try
- 30:08Speaker 17: to use some of the corners to practice all week
- 30:11Speaker 17: at safety. The other thing, too, is looking at the
- 30:14Speaker 17: other thirty two teams, their practice squads, see if they
- 30:17Speaker 17: have any safeties we could pull or whatever something like that,
- 30:22Speaker 17: or trade for a safety. Those are the immediate three
- 30:27Speaker 17: things they could do.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Yeah, and and kind of hope to get some of
- 30:32Speaker 4: these guys back, you know. I mean, Donovan Wilson should
- 30:35Speaker 4: be getting back soon, same with Juan Yer. Thomas Malik
- 30:40Speaker 4: Hooker is available to start his window back. I mean
- 30:43Speaker 4: he could return, but I don't think he's that. I
- 30:45Speaker 4: don't think he's there yet. So they're gonna get some
- 30:49Speaker 4: guys back. You're right about you know, they could still
- 30:52Speaker 4: bring another safety in the reason why I'm thanks for
- 30:56Speaker 4: the call, Rick, Let's keep it going back. The reason
- 30:58Speaker 4: why I think trading for safety could make sense is
- 31:03Speaker 4: that it's not just a problem for right now. I'd
- 31:06Speaker 4: have to look at the contracts, but I don't. I mean,
- 31:09Speaker 4: Donald Wilson signed three years ago, Hooker signed two seasons ago,
- 31:15Speaker 4: three three years ago, really three seasons ago. So both
- 31:19Speaker 4: those guys, I don't know if they're gonna be back
- 31:22Speaker 4: next year.
- 31:23Speaker 1: So I think it's an issue. Safety is an issue.
- 31:25Speaker 4: So if you're gonna you know, if you're trading for
- 31:27Speaker 4: somebody that can come in and help immediately and he's
- 31:29Speaker 4: gonna be here a couple of years, I'm fine. I'm
- 31:31Speaker 4: fine with that because you're gonna need some help at safety.
- 31:34Speaker 4: And that's not a position typically that you love drafting
- 31:37Speaker 4: in the first round. Now some maybe Green Bays pick
- 31:40Speaker 4: or wherever you're picking it, there's a there's a safety
- 31:43Speaker 4: that's worth it. Sure, I wouldn't be you know, it
- 31:46Speaker 4: wouldn't be against it. But I'm saying that, say, you
- 31:48Speaker 4: got to look at next year too, and safety might
- 31:50Speaker 4: be a positioned that you're gonna have a big need.
- 31:52Speaker 4: All right, Alex in South Bay.
- 31:55Speaker 18: Hey, what's up there? What's going on?
- 31:56Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 31:58Speaker 18: I'm good man, everything is good. I just want to
- 32:00Speaker 18: touch on something that was brought up yesterday because its
- 32:03Speaker 18: actually something I was thinking about. I was trying to
- 32:04Speaker 18: get in and discuss it. Someone had mentioned about no
- 32:07Speaker 18: punning and I kind of agree with that to an
- 32:10Speaker 18: extent because I want to focus on special teams. When
- 32:14Speaker 18: Bones was here, every time Anger tried it out to
- 32:17Speaker 18: the field, I stayed glued to my TV because there
- 32:19Speaker 18: was a fifty to fifty chance that Bones might come
- 32:21Speaker 18: up with the play to get those five yards or
- 32:24Speaker 18: whatever it was, fourth and whatever. Now when Anger trots
- 32:27Speaker 18: out there, I can go get a soda, I can
- 32:30Speaker 18: go to the restroom. I know it's going to be
- 32:32Speaker 18: a punt. What do you think about that? That's something
- 32:34Speaker 18: that it needs to be. I don't know about implementing
- 32:37Speaker 18: because I don't even know what the special team's coordinator is.
- 32:39Speaker 18: But is that something that you kind of looked at like, yeah,
- 32:42Speaker 18: that could be an issue or not an issue, but
- 32:44Speaker 18: it's something that should be looked at.
- 32:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's going I don't
- 32:50Speaker 4: think the special teams has been as as dynamic at all.
- 32:55Speaker 1: You don't even know his name.
- 32:56Speaker 18: Right, so I don't even know his name.
- 32:59Speaker 4: Yeah, Nick Sorenson his name, and he's got you know
- 33:04Speaker 4: he's got he's got pretty much the same type of
- 33:06Speaker 4: weapons already.
- 33:08Speaker 8: You know.
- 33:08Speaker 4: Now now Turpin hasn't been there, that's been a big
- 33:11Speaker 4: big miss. When when Turpin's not out there, you know,
- 33:13Speaker 4: I think even you know, they haven't got off the field.
- 33:17Speaker 4: That's the problem. They don't get off the field for
- 33:18Speaker 4: the pump return because I think it's a difference, so
- 33:20Speaker 4: you can get off the field to have him standing
- 33:22Speaker 4: back there. I think he's a legit weapon, but that hasn't.
- 33:26Speaker 3: Really happened as much, right right, I gotcha.
- 33:29Speaker 18: And then last thing, I think, I wonder if Chris
- 33:30Speaker 18: can hit me with the here we go, because once
- 33:32Speaker 18: that started, I was never able to get one. If
- 33:34Speaker 18: I can hear one of those, and I'll get off
- 33:35Speaker 18: the line and have a good day.
- 33:39Speaker 4: You ask, you receive, all right, let's keep it going,
- 33:42Speaker 4: doctor Sunshine.
- 33:43Speaker 1: And for worth is next?
- 33:46Speaker 19: Good morning, Nick? Are you doing I'm doing well? Nick?
- 33:50Speaker 19: You know, just talked to you last night, but I
- 33:52Speaker 19: wanted to call you today and with a thought provoking question.
- 33:56Speaker 19: We know we can commission rates about this seasons, but
- 33:58Speaker 19: as we as we can't and then after a while
- 34:01Speaker 19: it would be nice to think about something in the past.
- 34:03Speaker 19: So I'm want to fill a question that's you, okay,
- 34:08Speaker 19: a fantasy team of all Cowboy players from the beginning
- 34:13Speaker 19: of the of the of the franchise. I mean, I mean,
- 34:17Speaker 19: I go back to our I'm one of the few
- 34:19Speaker 19: people that remember Angel La Baron watching him on TV.
- 34:23Speaker 19: But if you could put together a fantasy team, and
- 34:27Speaker 19: I don't mean like fantasy that we play on the internet,
- 34:30Speaker 19: but where you had one player throughout the history at
- 34:35Speaker 19: each position, and you could only have one quarterback, one
- 34:38Speaker 19: right guard and pick the twelve players, and it might
- 34:42Speaker 19: be fun for your storylinebackers to participate too, to put
- 34:47Speaker 19: together their all time offensive defensive team at each position.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Just going just all time or going back in.
- 34:56Speaker 11: This all the time?
- 34:57Speaker 19: Yeah, just your number, want you're tied end, and your
- 35:02Speaker 19: your guards and you tackle your quarterback everybody who would
- 35:05Speaker 19: you pick?
- 35:07Speaker 4: Well, uh, yeah, that's a good one. That's something we'll
- 35:10Speaker 4: we'll we'll talk about what what would what would be yours?
- 35:13Speaker 4: I mean not all eleven, but what what would be
- 35:16Speaker 4: yours quarterback?
- 35:17Speaker 19: Well, well, my quarterback would be Roger y uhm, it's
- 35:21Speaker 19: my running back. And uh my wide receivers are Erwin
- 35:26Speaker 19: and uh Death Bryant and Drew Pearson.
- 35:31Speaker 8: Okay, and my.
- 35:32Speaker 19: Tight end is is Wining and and my I'll just
- 35:36Speaker 19: go ahead and give you my my tackles are flows
- 35:39Speaker 19: Al Adams and Rachel right. Uh, Stepanovsky's my center. Larry
- 35:43Speaker 19: Allen and and Nate are my guards.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Love it? Not gonna lose that many games with that offense,
- 35:50Speaker 1: for sure.
- 35:51Speaker 19: Well, and wouldn't that be great if you could do
- 35:54Speaker 19: that and really have that game and it was somehow
- 35:58Speaker 19: simulated and flavorate packers they're all the time bar stars.
- 36:03Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Now I don't know who they're you know,
- 36:06Speaker 4: obviously they get to do that too, and yeah yeah, yeah,
- 36:10Speaker 4: Michael there.
- 36:11Speaker 19: So it's just the ultimate fantasy game. And I just
- 36:14Speaker 19: sound like you tell that out to you today, And
- 36:17Speaker 19: I hope, I hope the storylinebackers appreciate what you do,
- 36:20Speaker 19: because uh even amaze me con tribute you know, players
- 36:27Speaker 19: that I never even remember.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's why I got back grades in school.
- 36:32Speaker 6: Right.
- 36:33Speaker 19: Oh no, you didn't get that grade.
- 36:38Speaker 1: That all right?

- 38:02Speaker 4: All right back here on Cowboys storyline. We still got
- 38:05Speaker 4: another ten minutes or so trying to pick up the pace,
- 38:09Speaker 4: get some some callers there.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Just got a call.
- 38:12Speaker 4: There from that was my dad if you if you
- 38:14Speaker 4: didn't notice that, that's his name is tam Baby goes
- 38:17Speaker 4: by Doctor Sunshine as well. And uh, I don't have
- 38:21Speaker 4: we don't have time to go through all the all
- 38:23Speaker 4: the like all time team. But to me, I mean no,
- 38:26Speaker 4: no real surprises. It's got to come down to how
- 38:28Speaker 4: old you are too, and and and any players that
- 38:30Speaker 4: you've seen. There's probably not a lot of younger Cowboy
- 38:33Speaker 4: fans that are going to sit there and be like
- 38:35Speaker 4: mel Renfro. For sure, mel Renfro, which me either because
- 38:38Speaker 4: I never saw him play, but I'm sure it was
- 38:40Speaker 4: pretty dang good. He's in the Hall of Fame. And
- 38:43Speaker 4: uh he played safety, corner, did a little bit of everything,
- 38:46Speaker 4: so he was good, but now you know, for me,
- 38:49Speaker 4: I'm Aikman would be the quarterback, and Aikman and and
- 38:52Speaker 4: Emmett and Drew Pearson and Michael Irvin and Witting and
- 38:58Speaker 4: then your offensive line, you know, I like flows l
- 39:02Speaker 4: for sure, Stepnowsky, Nate gotta go with Nate, Larry Allen
- 39:09Speaker 4: and another tackle probably Eric Williams. So that's probably pretty
- 39:17Speaker 4: much just that nineties offensive line for sure. All right,
- 39:19Speaker 4: let's go to Javan in Huntsville, Texas.
- 39:22Speaker 11: Yes, sir, how are you doing it good?
- 39:24Speaker 1: How are you?
- 39:25Speaker 11: I'm all right? Two things? Just how much do you
- 39:29Speaker 11: feel like the defense is struggling based on a lack
- 39:32Speaker 11: of buying from the defensive players, because it seems like
- 39:36Speaker 11: sometimes they're they're out of position. How much do we
- 39:39Speaker 11: feel like it might be a little bit of a
- 39:41Speaker 11: hero ball where people are trying to make plays instead
- 39:43Speaker 11: of actually playing as a whole unit.
- 39:46Speaker 4: I think there's there's something to be said for that.
- 39:49Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's kind of the world that
- 39:52Speaker 4: we're in, you know. I mean, especially when you when
- 39:54Speaker 4: you think about it, you get called up from the
- 39:56Speaker 4: practice squad, here's your chance you're elevating. You don't get
- 39:58Speaker 4: elevated three times, get elevated to come in here and play,
- 40:01Speaker 4: and you're gonna you know, you're not trying to go
- 40:03Speaker 4: make a play. Yeah, And I think I don't think
- 40:05Speaker 4: it's a it's out of spite. I think people are
- 40:07Speaker 4: trying to make plays. But sometimes you go try to
- 40:09Speaker 4: make a play and you end up you end up
- 40:11Speaker 4: getting the wrong gap and it's a thirty yard touchdown.
- 40:14Speaker 4: So yeah, I think that that happens a lot in
- 40:17Speaker 4: the NFL. It happens with this team too. For sure,
- 40:24Speaker 4: you got anything else you could.
- 40:25Speaker 11: Oh the other question was, at this point, with where
- 40:28Speaker 11: we're at, how much better do you think we would
- 40:31Speaker 11: just be if we just start sending the kitchen think
- 40:33Speaker 11: at the quarterback, just get up there, mug the line.
- 40:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean at this point, you know, that's why
- 40:41Speaker 4: I would have liked to have Trayvon Diggs back Digs
- 40:43Speaker 4: and Bland as you as your corners and then just
- 40:46Speaker 4: go just go stack the line and just get after him.
- 40:49Speaker 4: You know, that's what they should have done to me
- 40:51Speaker 4: with Carolina, that that that's unthinkable that they didn't just
- 40:57Speaker 4: just blitz Bryce Young all day long and he should
- 41:01Speaker 4: have won that game. I think but you know, just
- 41:04Speaker 4: stack the line and stack where you go down and
- 41:06Speaker 4: just say, all right, you just go go make plays.
- 41:07Speaker 4: And I don't think you would have done it on
- 41:09Speaker 4: a consistent basis for sure, But yeah, that's probably where
- 41:14Speaker 4: they're at, you know, and we'll see what kind of
- 41:16Speaker 4: changes they make. But I do think they're going to
- 41:18Speaker 4: have to, you know, get after these these quarterbacks because
- 41:21Speaker 4: if you just give them time, they're all going to
- 41:23Speaker 4: get open. Receivers get open, the quarterback's gonna find it.
- 41:26Speaker 4: So you have to help. I think by doing that
- 41:28Speaker 4: it helps your pass rusher and your secondary kind of
- 41:30Speaker 4: at the same time. And I have a problem with
- 41:32Speaker 4: my offensive line that I said, because I don't know
- 41:36Speaker 4: I'm not ready for that yet, because Zach Martin's got
- 41:38Speaker 4: to be on there, and I think Tyron Smith's got
- 41:40Speaker 4: to be on there. So I need to rethink that
- 41:42Speaker 4: a little bit. I might be playing guys out of position.
- 41:45Speaker 4: Larry Allen might have to play tackle for me. Sorry,
- 41:47Speaker 4: Flow love you. I'm good on that, maybe Tyran Tyron Smith,
- 41:52Speaker 4: but but good backup though, for sure.
- 41:55Speaker 1: All Right.
- 41:56Speaker 4: Dylan in Northport, Florida, Dylan, what's up? How you doing?
- 42:01Speaker 11: You right?
- 42:03Speaker 1: Didn't you already call in the show. I'm kidding, but.
- 42:05Speaker 21: You know I wasn't gonna call, And then I had
- 42:07Speaker 21: the other the other Dyllan call and was talking about
- 42:10Speaker 21: my bones comment. So I had to just how to
- 42:12Speaker 21: clarify these bones the bone situation.
- 42:16Speaker 1: Okay, you know we.
- 42:22Speaker 21: Have bones, Okay, but we got like a collar bone.
- 42:25Speaker 21: We got some like Falange's right, we're missing femurs, we're
- 42:28Speaker 21: missing like a ribcage.
- 42:29Speaker 7: Right.
- 42:29Speaker 21: If over shown can come back, he can be a
- 42:31Speaker 21: major part of the defense, right, And I think Land
- 42:33Speaker 21: is important. Right, Maybe he's your collar phone. Colophones are important,
- 42:37Speaker 21: I guess, so, like we don't have like a do
- 42:39Speaker 21: like also got paid and he took a discount, so
- 42:42Speaker 21: Matt credit to him, I guess. But you know, he
- 42:44Speaker 21: got paid to kind of be a dude. And he
- 42:46Speaker 21: looks like he was a beneficiary of the mice apart
- 42:48Speaker 21: Micah Parson's effect like everybody else was. He doesn't look
- 42:51Speaker 21: like a guy who's going to take on double teams,
- 42:52Speaker 21: which he is right now, he's getting double team into oblivion.
- 42:55Speaker 21: So I don't know where Kenny Clark is helping out
- 42:57Speaker 21: with that. I see him on the ground a lot
- 42:59Speaker 21: in fortune, But like, I just don't look at this
- 43:01Speaker 21: roster even unhealthy, with a lot of a lot of
- 43:04Speaker 21: guys that you can like count as cornerstone players outside
- 43:07Speaker 21: of maybe Bland and an over Jean. If overshone can
- 43:11Speaker 21: be just the same guy, even even eighty percent of
- 43:13Speaker 21: what he was, he'll still be a stud I think.
- 43:16Speaker 21: So hopefully he can come back. But whether they trade
- 43:19Speaker 21: for a guy or draft, do they need a cornerstone player.
- 43:22Speaker 21: They got rid of DeMarcus Lawrence, they got rid of
- 43:24Speaker 21: Jay Lou obviously make a Parsons. Those were all cornerstone.
- 43:26Speaker 21: Maybe not jay Lou, but Parsons and uh and d
- 43:29Speaker 21: Law were definitely cornerstone type pieces. And jaylu was a
- 43:32Speaker 21: really big locker room guy. So they lost all that
- 43:34Speaker 21: and they just they haven't replaced them, I don't think, unfortunately.
- 43:37Speaker 3: Just yet.
- 43:37Speaker 21: So that's what I'm looking for. As far as bones
- 43:39Speaker 21: bones go.
- 43:40Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I hear them, and and that's an overshown
- 43:44Speaker 4: would be one of those type of guys. I mean,
- 43:46Speaker 4: if you're if you're saying, if you're if you're counting,
- 43:50Speaker 4: you know, DeMarcus Lawrence and and Jordan Lewis in that
- 43:53Speaker 4: group you're not talking about just Pro Bowl guys. You're
- 43:56Speaker 4: talking about cornerstones that are that are leaders that that
- 44:00Speaker 4: you know, set sets the tone for your for your defense,
- 44:03Speaker 4: not only how they play, but how they carry themselves.
- 44:05Speaker 4: So Overshown would be great at that. And I think
- 44:08Speaker 4: Deron Bland he's not a vocal leader, but I mean
- 44:11Speaker 4: he goes out and kind of does his does his thing,
- 44:14Speaker 4: and he you know, he's made some plays. He's he's
- 44:16Speaker 4: made some nice tackles this year too, on top of
- 44:19Speaker 4: like interception for a pick six and all that. So
- 44:22Speaker 4: so you you've got guys like that. I think Osa
- 44:24Speaker 4: would be there, but you know, dogs would be also
- 44:28Speaker 4: some guys that you need to You need some of that.
- 44:31Speaker 4: And and I think that's what Jordan Lewis was and
- 44:34Speaker 4: they they certainly miss miss him there, you know, in
- 44:38Speaker 4: that spot.
- 44:38Speaker 1: But you know, you you've got to You've got to
- 44:41Speaker 1: find them.
- 44:41Speaker 4: You know, these are third rounders, a third round pick,
- 44:43Speaker 4: and he developed them, d Law, second round pick.
- 44:46Speaker 1: He developed them.
- 44:47Speaker 4: That's what what this team needs and and and they
- 44:51Speaker 4: have with Deron Bland.
- 44:52Speaker 1: But you got to get more of those.
- 44:53Speaker 4: You need you need more of those, all right, Uh,
- 44:54Speaker 4: Lester in Minnesota will be our last call.
- 44:56Speaker 1: Lester, what's up? Man?
- 45:00Speaker 22: Hey, I'll be pretty quick because I got a lot
- 45:02Speaker 22: to say, so I'll try tomorrow, but I just I'll
- 45:05Speaker 22: use just say a couple of things right now. Hey,
- 45:07Speaker 22: I think that we need to as far as the
- 45:11Speaker 22: defensive line is all this rotation of the ends, I
- 45:14Speaker 22: think we just need to stick to a defensive line
- 45:19Speaker 22: of four, you know, four people then didn't rotate the
- 45:22Speaker 22: other people in UH as needed. And one other question
- 45:27Speaker 22: is is BB gonna play this week or what? Do
- 45:30Speaker 22: you hear them go? Cowboys?
- 45:32Speaker 1: All right?
- 45:33Speaker 4: Appreciate it, you know, d line rotation is is always tricky.
- 45:37Speaker 4: You know, you you want, I mean, you'd love to
- 45:39Speaker 4: have eight guys and you just go four and four
- 45:41Speaker 4: and just rotate them. And you know, when the Cowboys
- 45:43Speaker 4: won the Super Bowl, excuse me, when they won Super Bowl,
- 45:46Speaker 4: you know back in the nineties, those guys, I mean
- 45:49Speaker 4: they had backup. Leon Lett was back up, you know,
- 45:51Speaker 4: and and and Jimmy Jones and those guys that that
- 45:54Speaker 4: would just be coming in waves, you know after you
- 45:57Speaker 4: to see us. And of course Haley told where you know,
- 46:01Speaker 4: you had a lot of guys and that's what you want.
- 46:05Speaker 4: But if you don't have you know, if if there's
- 46:09Speaker 4: a huge drop off between one and two and you know, five, six, seven, eight,
- 46:15Speaker 4: then then obviously you're gonna have some some issues there
- 46:18Speaker 4: and and and we've seen it. We've seen it when
- 46:20Speaker 4: you have guys like Micah and d Ware, you're like,
- 46:22Speaker 4: all right, when they're not in there, You're like, wait,
- 46:24Speaker 4: what what's going on here?
- 46:25Speaker 1: Why?
- 46:25Speaker 4: You know, why is the offense going all the way
- 46:27Speaker 4: down the field? I mean when they need a break,
- 46:30Speaker 4: they certainly need a break. And so figuring out how
- 46:32Speaker 4: to do that rotation the right way is always is
- 46:36Speaker 4: always key because at this point, you know, unfortunately I
- 46:42Speaker 4: don't know, there's a big difference between one and eight.
- 46:44Speaker 1: You know, that's and that's not a good thing.
- 46:47Speaker 4: You know, it sounds like it could be if if one,
- 46:50Speaker 4: two and three were really good and then you know,
- 46:52Speaker 4: but that's not the case. And so when they're just
- 46:55Speaker 4: rotating to rotated and nothing really changes there, So all right,
- 47:01Speaker 4: and then bebe uh. I get the sense he's going
- 47:04Speaker 4: to be back. I mean, I know he he said
- 47:06Speaker 4: he told me last week, Hey, I'm gonna try to
- 47:09Speaker 4: play this game against Denver. Well, they that was maybe
- 47:12Speaker 4: never in the cards that they shut that down, but
- 47:15Speaker 4: with his his hopes of playing, and he did some
- 47:19Speaker 4: snaps with with the first team and he was kind
- 47:21Speaker 4: of they were rotating, so you would think, you know,
- 47:24Speaker 4: if you might have a shot at this game, they
- 47:26Speaker 4: hold you back.
- 47:27Speaker 1: You got a whole other week in an extra day,
- 47:30Speaker 1: and he's needed. They need him, they need they need him.
- 47:34Speaker 4: In the center there to to kind of help with communication,
- 47:38Speaker 4: help with with some of these big defensive line fronts.
- 47:41Speaker 4: So yeah, I think if he's ready to go, if
- 47:45Speaker 4: he's ready then then and I think he will. I
- 47:47Speaker 4: don't think this is a situation where you say, man,
- 47:50Speaker 4: one more game, you got to buy we Yeah, it
- 47:52Speaker 4: could be back. If we get one more game with
- 47:54Speaker 4: the bye, we then they're all coming back.
- 47:56Speaker 1: Now, you know.
- 47:57Speaker 4: I think this is this is a huge game. If
- 47:59Speaker 4: he's ready go play. Jerry Jones did say this week
- 48:02Speaker 4: that he thinks this will be the healthiest that the
- 48:04Speaker 4: team has been this year. So that being said, I'm
- 48:08Speaker 4: imagining that Beebie is gonna be one of those guys
- 48:11Speaker 4: that does come back. All right, good show, guys. We
- 48:14Speaker 4: had a little slow start, but we picked it up,
- 48:16Speaker 4: did a did a nice job with twelve calls, and
- 48:17Speaker 4: we'll see if we can do better than that tomorrow.
- 48:21Speaker 4: For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We'll see you tomorrow
- 48:23Speaker 4: on Cowboys storyline.
