- 0:14Speaker 4: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:24Speaker 1: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Friday,
- 0:28Speaker 1: November the first. I'm Nick Eatman, and it is one
- 0:33Speaker 1: more day until we go to Atlanta see if the
- 0:36Speaker 1: Cowboys can get this thing turned Around's already November? Wow?
- 0:39Speaker 1: You know what I say that as in like it
- 0:42Speaker 1: hasn't already been you know, like a long two months,
- 0:46Speaker 1: because it has felt like a long time since the
- 0:48Speaker 1: Cowboys played that first game in Cleveland. The narrative has
- 0:53Speaker 1: changed so much, not to the point where the Cowboys
- 0:56Speaker 1: can't turn things around, but certainly, you know, it's it's been.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It's been that roller coaster that I keep talking about.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And here here we are, sitting here Friday, November first
- 1:07Speaker 1: three and four Cowboy team uh looking to get back
- 1:11Speaker 1: to five hundred. As I watched these highlights of the
- 1:14Speaker 1: last night's game Jets and and Texans. Wow, what I mean?
- 1:19Speaker 1: These catches are unbelievable by Garrett Wilson. But I still
- 1:21Speaker 1: I just told Chris before the show, why do people
- 1:24Speaker 1: drop the ball at the one like, I don't. I
- 1:27Speaker 1: don't get that. I I'll never understand that. Like what
- 1:31Speaker 1: do you what are you saying? Like like like, oh,
- 1:35Speaker 1: I got to get the ball out of my hand.
- 1:36Speaker 1: I just don't understand. And it happens in college, it happens,
- 1:39Speaker 1: and it happened in the game last night. Just wow.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Just I'm not saying you have to Perry Sanders the
- 1:44Speaker 1: thing and give it to the ref, but you know,
- 1:46Speaker 1: just get the end zone. I just don't get that.
- 1:49Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's go. Irene in Falls Church,
- 1:53Speaker 1: Virginia is our first caller. Irene. What's up?
- 1:57Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, three days in a round, trying to
- 1:59Speaker 5: make up for a lot of time.
- 2:00Speaker 1: If you scored a touchdown?
- 2:03Speaker 5: What are you doing if I scored a touchdown?
- 2:06Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:07Speaker 5: Back, oh oh I'm not that athletic. No, I'm doing
- 2:11Speaker 5: the classic spike just a bit.
- 2:14Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 2:14Speaker 5: I need more time to think of something cooler.
- 2:16Speaker 1: All right, Well that's why that's what made it good.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I'll put you on the spot, all right. What's going on?
- 2:22Speaker 7: All right?
- 2:23Speaker 5: I just you know, I've never done a score prediction,
- 2:25Speaker 5: so I thought I would, so this whole week I
- 2:27Speaker 5: had in my head twenty seven to twenty four Falcons,
- 2:31Speaker 5: but I've decided to take some hopium. I know they
- 2:35Speaker 5: have some weaknesses on defense, so do we I think
- 2:38Speaker 5: it's going to be a shootout. I do still think
- 2:39Speaker 5: it's coming down.
- 2:40Speaker 2: To the field goal.
- 2:41Speaker 5: So thirty eight thirty five. I'll give it to my Cowboys.
- 2:44Speaker 5: I'm never going to stay it on air if I
- 2:45Speaker 5: don't pick them. So Daku and then Sergeant Through had
- 2:51Speaker 5: a message for you, Dak and CD build off last week.
- 2:54Speaker 5: The delusion is delicious. So he's going thirty four to
- 2:57Speaker 5: thirty one Dallas. That's it, TRAVI A good one, A
- 3:00Speaker 5: good one.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of with you there. I mean, like
- 3:06Speaker 1: I see all the issues the Cowboys have on defense
- 3:09Speaker 1: and all that. But you know, this is an Atlanta
- 3:12Speaker 1: team that it's hard to figure out. You know, they're
- 3:16Speaker 1: they're five and three. That's that's a part of it
- 3:19Speaker 1: for me. Like I'm not I just don't. I don't
- 3:22Speaker 1: see them being a six and three team. I Mean,
- 3:24Speaker 1: they got completely smashed at home by the by the Seahawks,
- 3:28Speaker 1: like thirty four to ten. They've lost some games at
- 3:31Speaker 1: home this year. They lost to the Steelers they lost
- 3:33Speaker 1: to the Chiefs. I mean, so they've it's not all
- 3:36Speaker 1: like you know, teams that are that aren't good. I
- 3:39Speaker 1: mean they and I don't even know what Seattle is.
- 3:41Speaker 1: I mean they seem pretty you know, they're middle of
- 3:43Speaker 1: the pack too. But I'm just saying, you see these
- 3:46Speaker 1: games and you're like, you know, you got to put
- 3:49Speaker 1: it together. You got to figure out a way to
- 3:51Speaker 1: to to win these games. And and I don't think
- 3:55Speaker 1: nobody on the schedule. There's not one team on this
- 3:57Speaker 1: schedule that the Cowboys could not beat. And there's not
- 4:01Speaker 1: a team on there that couldn't beat the Cowboys eating
- 4:03Speaker 1: Carolina Giants included all those teams. They could come in
- 4:07Speaker 1: you know, Thanksgiving if the Giants come in here or whatever.
- 4:10Speaker 1: That's the nature of this thing. So that's why when
- 4:12Speaker 1: I look at that and I think, you know, they'll
- 4:17Speaker 1: ten games left. I see the Cowboys, you know, with
- 4:19Speaker 1: a chance to win. You know, they'll they could win
- 4:22Speaker 1: at least half of them. They got to get better
- 4:24Speaker 1: than that if they're going to make the playoffs. But
- 4:25Speaker 1: I think the games will be like that. So that's
- 4:29Speaker 1: why I'm with you there. You want to pick you know,
- 4:32Speaker 1: your heart says, eh, you know, I think the Cowboys
- 4:36Speaker 1: can win it, and your head says, are you sure
- 4:38Speaker 1: about that? But listen to your heart when he's calling
- 4:42Speaker 1: for you. Listen to your heart, all right. Dylan, Northport, Florida.
- 4:48Speaker 7: A happy Christmas season. When one of your decorations go
- 4:51Speaker 7: up for the.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Year, Well, we gotta take the pumpkin down, you know.
- 4:56Speaker 1: And what this inflatable pumpkin that was, you know, in
- 5:00Speaker 1: front of the house. Got to take that down. So
- 5:02Speaker 1: then and then there'll be more of a festive fall type,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you know, Thanksgiving type thing. But if you're asking about
- 5:09Speaker 1: Christmas decorations, uh, you know, it'll it's usually a weekend,
- 5:15Speaker 1: you know. It's usually like this is what happens. Okay,
- 5:19Speaker 1: I'll get the stuff down after Thanksgiving, like the weekend
- 5:23Speaker 1: we have off, and then the next road game that's
- 5:26Speaker 1: usually when it'll go up. When I'm not there, all
- 5:28Speaker 1: the decorations stuff will go up. So something like that.
- 5:33Speaker 7: We kind of lump Thanksgiving into Christmas all in one season.
- 5:36Speaker 7: And Thanksgiving is important to me. It's all it's on
- 5:39Speaker 7: holiday for me. But it's all kind of the same
- 5:41Speaker 7: season for us when we live in Florida. So you
- 5:43Speaker 7: don't get like the dramatic kind of or the I
- 5:46Speaker 7: guess the slower seasonal change where see the trees browning
- 5:49Speaker 7: and leaves falling all that so we can as lump
- 5:50Speaker 7: it all together. So our ours is going up this weekend.
- 5:53Speaker 7: My wife makes me do it immediately after thanks Halloween's over.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Oh wow.
- 5:57Speaker 7: So yeah, yeah, trees going up and everything. Man, It's
- 6:00Speaker 7: it's nuts around here. But as far as the game goes, yeah,
- 6:05Speaker 7: I don't think it's going to be very good.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Man.
- 6:07Speaker 7: If Micah was playing, I'd probably picked the Cowboys to win,
- 6:10Speaker 7: and I think win by double digits because it's a
- 6:12Speaker 7: great matchup for him against Kirk Cousins and getting some
- 6:15Speaker 7: sacks on there, but without him. As it sits right now,
- 6:18Speaker 7: if Dallas has no pass rush, they're thirty seconds since
- 6:21Speaker 7: to the run. Atlanta's got the fifth best fun block
- 6:24Speaker 7: right on pff. They've got a pair of good back.
- 6:27Speaker 8: To one of them.
- 6:27Speaker 7: That is dynamic as it gets in the league right
- 6:29Speaker 7: now with the Jean Kyle Pittch is killing it out there.
- 6:32Speaker 7: He's coming to his own and if we keep Dono
- 6:34Speaker 7: in the game, that's going to be a struggle, which
- 6:35Speaker 7: I think they'll probably do, but if they swop out
- 6:37Speaker 7: for Lanye, I think there might be a chance for
- 6:39Speaker 7: improvement there. But my gut feeling is that Atlanta is
- 6:42Speaker 7: going to get the ball moved on the ground, but
- 6:44Speaker 7: they're going to score the points through the air without
- 6:46Speaker 7: a pass rush. Kirk Cousins he's a good quarterback. He's
- 6:49Speaker 7: not a world beater, but if you can't get pressure
- 6:52Speaker 7: on him, I think so hopefully scores three or more touchdowns,
- 6:56Speaker 7: is my guess. It's kind of like that's not my
- 6:58Speaker 7: unfortunate bold prediction, but I got to fell and winning,
- 7:02Speaker 7: all right.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Most quarterbacks are good and if you don't give them
- 7:06Speaker 1: a pass, if you don't rush the passer, and so
- 7:11Speaker 1: you say that, and and that's why it's like, if
- 7:14Speaker 1: that's the case, then I don't see that getting held
- 7:16Speaker 1: to twenty four points. They scored twenty four against the
- 7:20Speaker 1: forty nine ers and had a couple of turnovers and
- 7:22Speaker 1: some things that stalled the drive. Atlanta's got six sacks
- 7:26Speaker 1: this year, six in what eight games? They played eight games?
- 7:32Speaker 1: They're three and five. I mean, sorry, they're five and three.
- 7:35Speaker 1: They played eight games and they've got six sacks, So
- 7:39Speaker 1: you know they they don't rush the passer very well.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean I've been to Atlanta when a
- 7:45Speaker 1: guy named Adrian and Claiborne had like seven himself in
- 7:48Speaker 1: the game because they couldn't get it blocked. So sorry,
- 7:54Speaker 1: like a bug here in the studio, I'll probably brought in.
- 8:02Speaker 1: But so with only eight sacks, six sacks in the season,
- 8:07Speaker 1: you know, I just think the Cowboys will also be
- 8:09Speaker 1: in a situation where they're not gonna have a lot
- 8:11Speaker 1: of pressure. They'll be able to move the ball, and
- 8:13Speaker 1: I think they'll be able to run it too. So
- 8:15Speaker 1: I agree with you on high scoring. I said thirty
- 8:17Speaker 1: to twenty two Dallas, thirty to twenty one Dallas. Maybe
- 8:21Speaker 1: it may it may need to be a little higher
- 8:23Speaker 1: score than that. You know, the Cowboys have scored forty
- 8:27Speaker 1: the last two times they've played Atlanta, so, you know,
- 8:31Speaker 1: or at least over forty in the last two times.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So different team, obviously, different coaching, you know, for for
- 8:38Speaker 1: both sides really, so it's gonna be a different situation there.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But still I like what this matchup is for the
- 8:46Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. So we'll see if they could score some points.
- 8:49Speaker 1: All right, let's who's next year Leicester in Minnesota.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how you doing this morning?
- 8:56Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
- 8:59Speaker 3: I'm the guy at all says we need a good too,
- 9:02Speaker 3: very good.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Off off yeh at the same time, same time.
- 9:08Speaker 3: But I got a trivia question for you today.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Okay.
- 9:12Speaker 3: In the Catch game, the White Clark Catch Game nineteen
- 9:16Speaker 3: eighty one, Cowboys lost by one point twenty seven twenty eight.
- 9:21Speaker 3: How many takeaways did the Cowboys have in that particular game?
- 9:25Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I think was it like five?
- 9:31Speaker 3: No, it was six.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Oh.
- 9:34Speaker 3: I took the ball away six times and Danny White
- 9:38Speaker 3: couldn't bring us home. I couldn't believe it. That was
- 9:41Speaker 3: the most disappointing Cowboy game I ever saw because that
- 9:45Speaker 3: was Danny White's first year being starting quarterback and Rogerster
- 9:49Speaker 3: allback probably would have beat them Boys fifty four to
- 9:53Speaker 3: seventeen with six takeaways.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do know that ever since. Obviously remembered
- 10:01Speaker 1: for you know, giving up the catch. But he had
- 10:04Speaker 1: two turnovers in that game. He had an interception, and
- 10:07Speaker 1: I think he forced a fumble or recovered to fumble,
- 10:09Speaker 1: so he you know, he did not have a bad
- 10:12Speaker 1: game at all. It's one of his most memorable moments
- 10:16Speaker 1: for you know, his career. But yeah, I didn't realize
- 10:19Speaker 1: it was six. I knew that they had a lot
- 10:20Speaker 1: that day. That's a that's a crazy game.
- 10:24Speaker 3: But yeah, well it's just like I said, that was
- 10:29Speaker 3: the most just the one game I've ever seen because
- 10:32Speaker 3: I was used to Rogers all back with two turnovers,
- 10:35Speaker 3: just beating everybody. Well, anyway, the game coming up now,
- 10:40Speaker 3: I think that we should be able to I believe
- 10:43Speaker 3: it's going to be a high scoring game, and I
- 10:46Speaker 3: think that we should win something like twenty seven to
- 10:50Speaker 3: thirty one something like that.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Sorry, I started writing twenty seven down, it's not soccer
- 10:58Speaker 1: thirty one, all right, thirty one twenty seven cool? All right, Well,
- 11:05Speaker 1: well I hope you're right, Lester. Thanks for the call.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Six turnovers he talked about in that game against in
- 11:11Speaker 1: the catch game. Do the Cowboys have six turnovers this
- 11:15Speaker 1: year or takeaways? I mean, like I should know this
- 11:19Speaker 1: and usually have my stats in front of me. They've
- 11:21Speaker 1: had I think only five interceptions this year, maybe just four,
- 11:27Speaker 1: but they haven't had one since since the Giants game.
- 11:30Speaker 1: We talked about that yesterday. As for like fumbles and
- 11:33Speaker 1: stuff turnovers, six teams about right as far as I
- 11:38Speaker 1: from a takeaway standpoint, So I can't imagine getting six
- 11:41Speaker 1: to one game. I can imagine at this point getting one,
- 11:45Speaker 1: you know, much less two. But that's the thing about
- 11:47Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. I mean, he's had six fumbles this year,
- 11:51Speaker 1: so he can get to him. You know, he'll fumble.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I mean he's fumbled more than any player in the
- 11:55Speaker 1: NFL in the last decade, in ninety one fumbles. There's
- 11:58Speaker 1: a lot of fumbles. So get to them, get to
- 12:00Speaker 1: him if you can. I'd bring everything now. Then now
- 12:03Speaker 1: they've got mismatches on the other side. That's what makes
- 12:05Speaker 1: it tough, is because they have a tight end who's
- 12:08Speaker 1: really a wide receiver and Kyle Pitts. But but you
- 12:10Speaker 1: know who who do you guard him with? We saw
- 12:13Speaker 1: Kittle hurt this team last week, and they don't really
- 12:16Speaker 1: have the other wide receiver weapons on the other side.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Uh that that really scare you. In this case, Pitts
- 12:23Speaker 1: is a more dynamic player than than Kittle as far
- 12:26Speaker 1: as you know, just matchup and from athleticism. And then
- 12:30Speaker 1: you've got Drake London there too, so they you know,
- 12:33Speaker 1: they they do have some some players. And then you know,
- 12:35Speaker 1: not to mention some runners and all that. So they
- 12:38Speaker 1: they've they've got some good pieces around Cousins, probably more
- 12:41Speaker 1: than he's had in a in a while from you know,
- 12:45Speaker 1: I know he had Justin Jefferson a couple years ago.
- 12:47Speaker 1: But I'm saying as far as just receivers tied in
- 12:51Speaker 1: running back, all that, they they've got, they've got, you know,
- 12:54Speaker 1: good setup over there for their offense. All right, Michael
- 12:58Speaker 1: and Bowling Green, Kentucky is next.
- 13:01Speaker 9: Happy November.
- 13:02Speaker 1: How you doing, Michael?
- 13:05Speaker 9: I want to know are the rumors true? On the
- 13:08Speaker 9: on the Wednesday night call I heard over and over
- 13:12Speaker 9: and over again, the Cowboys next coach is going to
- 13:16Speaker 9: be Currently he's a Eagles coordinator and has lots of
- 13:21Speaker 9: ties in history with the Cowboys.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 13:26Speaker 1: I don't even know what you're referring to, honestly, Like,
- 13:30Speaker 1: I haven't heard rumors and not even know what calls
- 13:32Speaker 1: you're talking about Wednesday night.
- 13:33Speaker 9: Our storyline call on Wednesday night.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Oh then y'all were just I know, I don't know
- 13:39Speaker 1: what we're all saying.
- 13:41Speaker 9: The next Cowboys coach is the is the Eagles offensive coordinator?
- 13:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't know I do know anything
- 13:50Speaker 1: about that, So, I mean, I know that I know
- 13:54Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's head coach right now. I know they got
- 13:56Speaker 1: ten games to go.
- 13:58Speaker 9: Sometimes just adamant about into the.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I think I think you, I think you can go
- 14:04Speaker 1: another route there. I mean, if you if they if
- 14:06Speaker 1: you have to look for our head coach, I don't.
- 14:08Speaker 1: I don't think you go that route. I wouldn't at least,
- 14:11Speaker 1: I mean, haven't we seen that? So it's all good?
- 14:14Speaker 1: All right? What do you? What do you have for
- 14:17Speaker 1: this game?
- 14:17Speaker 9: All right? So I got I've been to two Cowboys
- 14:20Speaker 9: Falcons games in Atlanta and there's a lot of Cowboys
- 14:24Speaker 9: fans in there, or they were the two games I
- 14:27Speaker 9: went to. I'm gonna go Dallas twenty eight and I'm
- 14:30Speaker 9: gonna go Atlanta seventeen.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Yeah. Is that good or bad on the Cowboy fans there?
- 14:36Speaker 1: Because there's been a lot of Cowboy fans at at
- 14:38Speaker 1: and C Stadium for the last three games, and that
- 14:40Speaker 1: has got no I hear you. Now, I'm joking because
- 14:44Speaker 1: I actually made this the same point. I think haven't
- 14:46Speaker 1: been there since twenty eighteen. A lot of fans will
- 14:49Speaker 1: be at this game, and I think the energy it'll create.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I think it'll be a really good atmosphere for a
- 14:55Speaker 1: noon game. I think it's going to be a good one,
- 14:58Speaker 1: and I think that will help the Cowboys. So I'm
- 15:00Speaker 1: actually with you there. So twenty eight seventeen that you picked.
- 15:03Speaker 9: Twenty eight seventeen. All right, Dack crows Dag throws four touchdowns.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Right, name them to who, Michael, spot two, two to
- 15:13Speaker 1: c Lamb, all right, ceed he gets too, ceed, he gets.
- 15:17Speaker 9: To Turpan's gonna get one, and he's going to get
- 15:21Speaker 9: one to Cook for running back.
- 15:27Speaker 1: All right, Dalvin Cook, that would be cool. I'm for that,
- 15:32Speaker 1: you know. The last time, thanks for the call, Michael.
- 15:35Speaker 1: The last time that Kirk Cousins defeated the Cowboys, he
- 15:38Speaker 1: was the quarterback for the Vikings and it was a
- 15:42Speaker 1: twenty I think twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen. They
- 15:45Speaker 1: won twenty eight to twenty four, and Dalvin Cook was
- 15:49Speaker 1: amazing in that game. And I think he had a
- 15:51Speaker 1: touchdown reception in that game. So we saw the nine
- 15:54Speaker 1: o'clock one pass right over the middle for ten. It's
- 15:57Speaker 1: not bad. I mean I need to see a little
- 16:00Speaker 1: bit more if he's going to play more but I
- 16:02Speaker 1: feel like Zeke is going to get more carries in
- 16:05Speaker 1: this game. I don't know what they're going to do
- 16:06Speaker 1: honestly on running back. I mean, it could be Rico
- 16:08Speaker 1: if he's feeling good now, I don't know. I think
- 16:12Speaker 1: they're going to run the ball better. I have no
- 16:14Speaker 1: idea who's going to be the one doing it. But
- 16:16Speaker 1: I have a feeling that they will run more in
- 16:18Speaker 1: this game and run, you know, efficiently in this game.
- 16:22Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break here. Let's take a
- 16:25Speaker 1: break here on Cowboys storyline. I think the lines are open.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Eight A eight eight, five, five two two nine seven
- 16:30Speaker 1: is the number to call. Give us a call here
- 16:32Speaker 1: when we get back from the break.

- 18:43Speaker 1: November the first. We've already had a few callers already.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Let's keep it rolling. We've got Robbie and Cocoa Beach, Florida. Robbie,
- 18:49Speaker 1: what's up?
- 18:49Speaker 3: What's up?
- 18:51Speaker 4: Nick?
- 18:51Speaker 2: It was kind of neat to hear you guys in
- 18:52Speaker 2: the background the whole time when you're on break. I've
- 18:55Speaker 2: got a little inner workings through the show?
- 18:57Speaker 8: Is cool?
- 18:57Speaker 1: Oh great? Well that's I hope it didn't say thing.
- 19:00Speaker 12: I don't know nothing about it all, No, nothing at all.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Good enough, Hey man, I think and I know everybody's
- 19:08Speaker 2: gonna call me a home and I don't care. I
- 19:10Speaker 2: think this is the time that we're gonna beat the
- 19:11Speaker 2: bricks off them. I just I see it coming together
- 19:15Speaker 2: with Dak and CD. I think our run game is
- 19:18Speaker 2: going to do something. I don't know what that is,
- 19:19Speaker 2: but enough to get us a couple of play action
- 19:23Speaker 2: passes where they watch us. And I think it's going
- 19:26Speaker 2: to be forty two to Lake seventeen and we're gonna coast.
- 19:31Speaker 2: I'll probably two turnovers at least. I don't know why
- 19:33Speaker 2: call me a homer if you want, but I just
- 19:35Speaker 2: I see it. This is either our get right game
- 19:37Speaker 2: of the season or or it goes downhill from here.
- 19:40Speaker 8: You know.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if they beat the brakes off of them,
- 19:44Speaker 1: like you said, forty two seventeen, you need to be
- 19:47Speaker 1: calling the show Monday. You might call it anyways. You've
- 19:50Speaker 1: called a few times this week already, so good stuff.
- 19:53Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that would be that would be crazy,
- 19:57Speaker 1: now you know. That's what this league is, though, like
- 20:01Speaker 1: it wouldn't be like a shocking thing, but you just
- 20:05Speaker 1: I think everybody kind of gets the sense like you're
- 20:08Speaker 1: gonna turn it around at some point. I feel like that,
- 20:11Speaker 1: and I agree. Usually it's when you get all your
- 20:15Speaker 1: pieces back and I don't even know if they're going
- 20:17Speaker 1: to get anybody back for this game. That it doesn't
- 20:19Speaker 1: seem like Bland or Parsons will play, So you know,
- 20:24Speaker 1: Cooks isn't ready yet. I mean, he can be eligible
- 20:27Speaker 1: next week. DeMarcus Lawrence, same thing. But yeah, I mean
- 20:31Speaker 1: I feel like it's just it's it's they're on the
- 20:33Speaker 1: verge there. Maybe it's this week.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Yep, all right, man, all right, thanks, we'll talk to Monday.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Okay.
- 20:41Speaker 1: That sounds good. Yeah, and a lot of it could be.
- 20:44Speaker 1: And I mean, you got to be careful with this.
- 20:47Speaker 1: But when you when you start comparing teams based off
- 20:51Speaker 1: of what you remember from them, I mean, you know,
- 20:55Speaker 1: the Falcons, I'm not saying that they can't win games.
- 20:58Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're not good. And they they're
- 21:01Speaker 1: probably you know, a better team than the Cowboys are
- 21:04Speaker 1: right now. That's what That's what the odds makers say.
- 21:08Speaker 1: But you know, I know I'm guilty of this. Just
- 21:11Speaker 1: sometimes it's like you gotta have to show me that
- 21:13Speaker 1: you're not, you know, just the Falcons for me to
- 21:16Speaker 1: pick the game. That's why I felt about the Browns
- 21:18Speaker 1: the Browns game. You know that they were favored in
- 21:21Speaker 1: the game, and I'm just like, I'm not I'm not
- 21:23Speaker 1: buying this right now. And I felt the same way
- 21:25Speaker 1: with the Saints and I got burned. So you know what,
- 21:29Speaker 1: you don't always go that way. I think I was
- 21:32Speaker 1: right about the Saints. I was just wrong about the
- 21:34Speaker 1: matchup with the Cowboys in the Saints that day. Wow,
- 21:37Speaker 1: Kamar is still getting points and you're still getting yards
- 21:40Speaker 1: in that game. All right, let's go to Washington, d C.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Jeremy's our next caller, Jeremy, what's up?
- 21:46Speaker 3: Hey?
- 21:46Speaker 2: Yo?
- 21:47Speaker 4: Nick?
- 21:47Speaker 13: What's man?
- 21:47Speaker 3: How you doing good?
- 21:48Speaker 1: How are you?
- 21:49Speaker 12: I'm going all right?
- 21:52Speaker 6: Uh?
- 21:52Speaker 1: Today? Yes, today. Yesterday I wasn't. But today I think
- 21:56Speaker 1: I am staying out of trouble.
- 21:58Speaker 3: We'll see, man, I gotta make sure.
- 22:01Speaker 1: How about you Friday?
- 22:03Speaker 13: Oh yeah, man, I'm staying out of trouble man. Friday.
- 22:05Speaker 13: You know, you don't see the judge till Monday. If
- 22:07Speaker 13: you's been in trouble today, Wow, you got to be
- 22:11Speaker 13: able to make bell if you get in trouble, man, you.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Know, figure out all right.
- 22:19Speaker 14: Yeah, but.
- 22:21Speaker 13: Uh, this my second call. So I just wanted to
- 22:24Speaker 13: go over some things that that everybody else did, like
- 22:27Speaker 13: my favorite Cowboys and this smith. I like the Cowboys
- 22:31Speaker 13: and the Gators because of it. When I hang up,
- 22:36Speaker 13: I wanted to know if you had a story about
- 22:39Speaker 13: Greg Ellis or Dad when because those two were some
- 22:44Speaker 13: of my uh great cowboys when I was growing up,
- 22:48Speaker 13: them and Roy Webb. And my question is, well, it's
- 22:53Speaker 13: not really a question. This is just more so a
- 22:55Speaker 13: statement because I heard on one of the other shows,
- 22:57Speaker 13: because I'm listening to all YA podcasts, but I heard
- 23:00Speaker 13: on one of the other shows that before the last game,
- 23:03Speaker 13: we was averaging three running plays a quarter. So I'm
- 23:08Speaker 13: just trying to figure out their way with Mike mccoffee
- 23:12Speaker 13: can throw aware, you know what I'm saying. A couple
- 23:14Speaker 13: more because like even in the forty nine Ers game,
- 23:18Speaker 13: they handed the disease on first down, he got six yards,
- 23:22Speaker 13: but then they threw the ball through the ball in
- 23:24Speaker 13: complete and complete where you could have just landed again
- 23:27Speaker 13: for another you know, two yards in the cloud of
- 23:29Speaker 13: dust and then track, you know. But I just want
- 23:34Speaker 13: us to stick to the run. Like Nate said, even
- 23:37Speaker 13: if you run into a brick wall.
- 23:38Speaker 15: At least you trying.
- 23:40Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, I'm with you. On
- 23:43Speaker 1: that unless you're trying to run and you're down seven
- 23:48Speaker 1: to nothing and you try to run, and then now
- 23:51Speaker 1: you have to punt because you're trying, and now it's
- 23:54Speaker 1: fourteen to nothing, and you keep trying. Now it's seventeen
- 23:57Speaker 1: to nothing, and you know, at some point, if it's
- 24:01Speaker 1: not working, you have to you have to bail on it.
- 24:02Speaker 1: And it's not working, Like the running game isn't working.
- 24:05Speaker 1: They don't have an average that shows that it's working. Like, yes,
- 24:09Speaker 1: Zeke went for six yards, but I mean we've seen
- 24:12Speaker 1: it where for the most part, I mean he's averaging
- 24:14Speaker 1: less than I think he's averaging around three. This team
- 24:18Speaker 1: is not averaging, you know, anything respectable running the ball.
- 24:22Speaker 1: So you can keep doing it, but like they're not
- 24:25Speaker 1: Their defense isn't good enough for you to keep doing that,
- 24:29Speaker 1: And that's where the problem has been. They're down. They're
- 24:32Speaker 1: down because their defense is struggling and they kind of
- 24:34Speaker 1: have to throw. You don't have to abandon the game plan,
- 24:37Speaker 1: but at the same time, you can't just keep running
- 24:39Speaker 1: if it's not working. So there's a balance. I'm not
- 24:43Speaker 1: disagreeing with you. I just think that there's a little
- 24:45Speaker 1: bit of a balance.
- 24:47Speaker 13: And can you can you I'm not sure if you have.
- 24:50Speaker 6: This stat on half, but can you see.
- 24:52Speaker 13: How many first downs there our offense have in the
- 24:55Speaker 13: first quarter and in the third quarter? Because I do
- 24:59Speaker 13: agree with you, you say that we're getting off to
- 25:01Speaker 13: these slow stocks, but we're not getting any first downs
- 25:05Speaker 13: for our defense to get a break. You know what
- 25:07Speaker 13: I'm saying, Like we getting the ball going three and out? Yeah,
- 25:11Speaker 13: they scored touchdown. I mean you even if you do
- 25:14Speaker 13: like running on first down, get three four, gods, you're
- 25:17Speaker 13: still throwing throwing incopleteleteun again.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:21Speaker 13: So it's just like they I'm trying to figure out,
- 25:24Speaker 13: like they're way where they can just build up and
- 25:27Speaker 13: try to get some first downs. They don't have to
- 25:29Speaker 13: go for the big play, get the first down to
- 25:32Speaker 13: keep the drive going. You know what I'm saying.
- 25:33Speaker 1: All Right, all right, Jeremy, appreciate it. Good stuff. Yeah,
- 25:38Speaker 1: I mean first downs, that's that's where we are. We
- 25:41Speaker 1: got it. We're going for first downs, especially the first
- 25:44Speaker 1: drive of the game. I mean, that's that's how it works.
- 25:47Speaker 1: You need to get four or five of those and
- 25:49Speaker 1: move the ball. They haven't haven't done that. It's been
- 25:52Speaker 1: very well documented, especially on this show. Uh As for stories,
- 25:57Speaker 1: greg ellis that win. I don't. I don't have a
- 26:00Speaker 1: ton of stories there with those guys. I mean, I
- 26:04Speaker 1: sure I do, I just can't can't think of them.
- 26:07Speaker 1: They both have been coaches on this staff as well,
- 26:10Speaker 1: and Greg ellis currently on staff. I mean that that
- 26:14Speaker 1: when I do remember him telling a story his very
- 26:20Speaker 1: first practice, it was a mini well it might have
- 26:25Speaker 1: been like they had a rookie mini camp, but then
- 26:27Speaker 1: I guess a week or two later it was the
- 26:29Speaker 1: actual mini camp with the with the entire team or
- 26:33Speaker 1: you know, an ota if they called it that back then.
- 26:35Speaker 1: But the entire team was there, and Dat was playing
- 26:40Speaker 1: middle linebacker. I don't know who was out. I don't
- 26:43Speaker 1: know if Cokeley was out, or maybe Randall Godfrey or somebody.
- 26:47Speaker 1: If he was the guy. I'm not sure who the
- 26:49Speaker 1: linebacker was then, but he was. He was the middle linebacker.
- 26:53Speaker 1: And they broke the huddle and he he's he froze.
- 26:56Speaker 1: He said, he looked and he said, oh my god,
- 26:59Speaker 1: there's Trey and then there's Emmitt Smith, and there's Michael Irvin,
- 27:04Speaker 1: and there's Hike and there's you know, and everybody starts
- 27:08Speaker 1: moving and he didn't, and they just stopped to play
- 27:11Speaker 1: and he got run over or whatever. I don't know,
- 27:14Speaker 1: but he just absolutely froze in the moment of just
- 27:16Speaker 1: kind of got starstruck, you know. As a young young
- 27:19Speaker 1: player there, he didn't. That didn't happen to him very
- 27:22Speaker 1: much after that. He was a really good player in
- 27:24Speaker 1: his own right undersize, but still played with a lot
- 27:28Speaker 1: of heart, very smart player. It was really good because
- 27:31Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Bill Parcells had wanted nothing to
- 27:34Speaker 1: do with that win. When he got here. He was like, no, no,
- 27:37Speaker 1: that's not a linebacker to me. And Zimmer was like
- 27:40Speaker 1: just you know him, and Cooke Lee like let's see,
- 27:43Speaker 1: just you'll like him. And then in about three weeks,
- 27:47Speaker 1: four weeks, you know, Parcel's like that, those are my guys,
- 27:50Speaker 1: you know. And that's that's why they were because football
- 27:53Speaker 1: players they come in all sizes for sure. All right,
- 27:56Speaker 1: let's go to Rick in Massachusetts. Rick, what's up, man?
- 28:00Speaker 15: How are you doing next?
- 28:00Speaker 1: Good?
- 28:01Speaker 3: You?
- 28:02Speaker 15: All right? I was try Halloween.
- 28:04Speaker 1: It was great, great, yeah, good.
- 28:07Speaker 15: So I think the Kebbys are going to win this
- 28:09Speaker 15: game thirty one to twenty seven with dak with the
- 28:14Speaker 15: quarterback sneak rushing TD speak with the Tidown and Jake
- 28:18Speaker 15: Berkson gets involved with CD.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe Dak could win the game with a
- 28:26Speaker 1: rushing touchdown. I mean, how how ironic would that be
- 28:30Speaker 1: of all to talk about him not running and all that. Yeah,
- 28:33Speaker 1: it would be great if he could. He could do that.
- 28:34Speaker 1: They don't even have to score touchdowns, just just get
- 28:37Speaker 1: just get some first downs, like my man Jeremy said,
- 28:39Speaker 1: last caller, first down, but just extend the drive however
- 28:43Speaker 1: way you need to. And I think I think he
- 28:45Speaker 1: needs to do that running. We all know that that
- 28:47Speaker 1: would be great.
- 28:48Speaker 15: What else you got, Rick, That's about it just always
- 28:53Speaker 15: being positive. You know, we still got the rest of
- 28:56Speaker 15: the division to play, and they still have other people
- 28:59Speaker 15: to the already played, so you know, anything can happen. Yeah,
- 29:03Speaker 15: it's a week to week.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Thing, definitely, you're right about that. And and more importantly,
- 29:08Speaker 1: you got to play the teams in the division. Still
- 29:11Speaker 1: got to play Washington, got to play Philadelphia. You can
- 29:13Speaker 1: you can change a lot of things by by winning
- 29:16Speaker 1: those games. So that yeah, it'll it's it's an uphill battle,
- 29:20Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. Thanks for the call, Rick,
- 29:22Speaker 1: There there's it's definitely gonna be an uphill battle for
- 29:25Speaker 1: this team to get back into it, you know. I mean,
- 29:27Speaker 1: if you if you think they've got to win ten games,
- 29:30Speaker 1: you know, they're they're sitting here at three and four.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I mean, there's that's that's not gonna be easy, you know,
- 29:35Speaker 1: to get to get seven out of ten. But you've
- 29:38Speaker 1: got to you've got to You've got to figure out
- 29:43Speaker 1: a way to be balanced, you know. And and that's
- 29:45Speaker 1: that's what's hurting this team right now, is that they
- 29:48Speaker 1: they are not they're not good at running the ball
- 29:52Speaker 1: at all. They've got to just be comparable in these games,
- 29:55Speaker 1: you know. And that's and that's the thing, like you
- 29:58Speaker 1: don't have to get all the way back, can do
- 30:00Speaker 1: they got a rank eighteenth or seventeenth right now they're
- 30:04Speaker 1: at thirty two. You don't have to worry about that.
- 30:05Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about the rankings. We've got
- 30:07Speaker 1: to worry about is being able to run the ball
- 30:09Speaker 1: in this game right here. Figure out a way to
- 30:11Speaker 1: get seventy five eighty ninety yards, you know, running the
- 30:15Speaker 1: ball at the right times. You can't just have these
- 30:18Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty yard rushing games. You've got to get
- 30:21Speaker 1: up in the you know, at least in the hundreds,
- 30:24Speaker 1: you know, And and it can be it can be
- 30:26Speaker 1: by committee, it doesn't matter. It's just got to be
- 30:28Speaker 1: comparable to the point where where the guys that Dak
- 30:32Speaker 1: and CD and Ferguson and those guys can make plays.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Got to be balanced. And you know, it starts. It
- 30:40Speaker 1: starts this week. You know. I see the falcons of
- 30:42Speaker 1: some really big boys in the middle, but the cowboys
- 30:45Speaker 1: can have to figure out a way to move them
- 30:47Speaker 1: off the ball and get you know, just just run
- 30:50Speaker 1: the ball a little bit to to open up the pass.
- 30:53Speaker 1: I know, it's most people want to say. Now, you know,
- 30:55Speaker 1: they should pass to open up the run. But still
- 30:58Speaker 1: you still got to it's got to be both. Still
- 31:00Speaker 1: got to be able to run the football. I don't
- 31:01Speaker 1: care who does it. Somebody's got to do it, all right,
- 31:03Speaker 1: Chris and San Angelo.
- 31:05Speaker 14: Hey, mister Nick, hope to stay finds you well, sir?
- 31:08Speaker 1: All right, thanks man, how are you.
- 31:10Speaker 3: I'm doing wonderful?
- 31:11Speaker 14: Thank you.
- 31:12Speaker 10: Hey.
- 31:12Speaker 14: I just had a quick question and then I guess
- 31:15Speaker 14: I was gonna make a prediction.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Okay, questions kind.
- 31:19Speaker 14: Of do you think they're gonna give the receiver flowinoid
- 31:25Speaker 14: the Hunter Lipty treatment from last year where he got
- 31:30Speaker 14: it one chance, dropped it and then it's a kind
- 31:33Speaker 14: of see you never Yeah.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Now, I don't think so, I don't think that's it.
- 31:39Speaker 1: I just don't think they feel like he's better right now. Then,
- 31:43Speaker 1: Jalen Brooks, you know, okay, I don't think I don't
- 31:48Speaker 1: think that's the case. That was a you know, the guy,
- 31:51Speaker 1: there's a blowout loss, and it was on the sideline
- 31:54Speaker 1: late in the game and all that. It wasn't as
- 31:56Speaker 1: critical as fourth and you know our first and goal
- 31:59Speaker 1: at the one there with with Hunter Lipke. But I know,
- 32:02Speaker 1: I still think that they'll give him opportunities. He's just
- 32:05Speaker 1: he's just not the best option that they have right now.
- 32:08Speaker 13: Huh.
- 32:08Speaker 14: Fair enough? And then will prediction, I guess I'll say
- 32:12Speaker 14: Irene started to sue Michael, I'll get pass it over
- 32:16Speaker 14: here and I'll take some and I'll take the Cowboys
- 32:20Speaker 14: thirty one to twenty eight.
- 32:21Speaker 1: All right, a lot of Cowboy picks today, Thanks, Chris.
- 32:26Speaker 1: I'm I'm I think you know, we all want to believe,
- 32:30Speaker 1: we all want to believe that this team can can
- 32:32Speaker 1: turn things around. It's a turnaround type league. I mean,
- 32:37Speaker 1: if if as long as you keep playing, keep fighting,
- 32:39Speaker 1: you have you have enough playmakers. You don't have to have,
- 32:42Speaker 1: you know, at every position, but you have to have enough.
- 32:46Speaker 1: You know, you have to have a good special teams.
- 32:48Speaker 1: That's the thing. You know, if the Cowboys didn't didn't
- 32:50Speaker 1: struggle on special teams in that game, you know, they
- 32:55Speaker 1: might have won it. They they I know it was
- 32:58Speaker 1: a little, you know, a little play here and there,
- 33:00Speaker 1: but there were a lot of them and a lot
- 33:03Speaker 1: of great field positions set up for the forty nine

- 34:47Speaker 1: whatever you want, Yetie's got it covered for you. I
- 34:51Speaker 1: know we've done. Who's hot? Who's cold? I don't know
- 34:55Speaker 1: if this week's the best of that, I would be
- 34:57Speaker 1: getting a lot of a lot of who's cold. I'll
- 34:59Speaker 1: give you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you who's hot.
- 35:03Speaker 1: This linebacker that they have and Overshown is a player.
- 35:07Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's a baller. I think we've all
- 35:10Speaker 1: sort of seen that here and there. But I love
- 35:13Speaker 1: everything that he brings to the table. You remember, he's
- 35:17Speaker 1: coming off of an injury last year, so is he's
- 35:20Speaker 1: still kind of getting finding his groove. But in that
- 35:23Speaker 1: first game of the season against Cleveland, I mean we
- 35:26Speaker 1: saw the speed and that game was his first game
- 35:28Speaker 1: he's ever played. But he's just an explosive player. I
- 35:31Speaker 1: can't wait to watch him even more. So he's definitely
- 35:35Speaker 1: the hot for me, and then the cold. It's really
- 35:39Speaker 1: been anybody that's had the ball in their stomach running
- 35:41Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, this is whoever it is. It's
- 35:44Speaker 1: the running game in general. It hasn't worked, whether it
- 35:48Speaker 1: be the play calling of that, because we're getting to
- 35:52Speaker 1: the point now where a guy has a six yard
- 35:53Speaker 1: run and we're like, he looked pretty good, you know,
- 35:55Speaker 1: or eighty yards eighty seven yards rushing by Dawell was
- 35:59Speaker 1: like a great game. The standards have gotten solow at
- 36:02Speaker 1: running the ball. That thing's got to change. It's got
- 36:05Speaker 1: to change where. You know, remember remember one hundred yard games.
- 36:08Speaker 1: We're like a really good game. Let's let's get that.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Let's let's try to get that back. All right, let's
- 36:13Speaker 1: go Rob in Vegas is next. Rob. What's up?
- 36:16Speaker 8: Hey?
- 36:17Speaker 6: Nick?
- 36:18Speaker 1: How are you?
- 36:19Speaker 6: I'm doing good?
- 36:20Speaker 1: Cowboys by how many?
- 36:22Speaker 14: Oh?
- 36:22Speaker 1: I know, Cowboys by how many? Rob? I know? You
- 36:25Speaker 1: want to pick the Cowboys to win?
- 36:27Speaker 6: I always pick I always pick them. I look at
- 36:29Speaker 6: it like this, The better be a three in front
- 36:31Speaker 6: of the number. This game is all on the offense.
- 36:35Speaker 6: The defense is hamstrung. You know, too many players out.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I agree with Dylan.
- 36:39Speaker 6: If Michael was playing, I would like our chances, but
- 36:45Speaker 6: I don't see it. You know, we don't get a
- 36:46Speaker 6: pass rush.
- 36:48Speaker 14: Place is going to be rocking.
- 36:49Speaker 6: You know everybody now sees a wounded animal and the
- 36:52Speaker 6: Cowboys and it's like, you know, they all want to
- 36:55Speaker 6: you know, a piece to me. I need that to
- 37:00Speaker 6: be better than Kirk Cousins in this game. I mean
- 37:03Speaker 6: you said it. They don't have a dynamic pass rush
- 37:06Speaker 6: in Atlanta. YEA, your best players and the health of
- 37:11Speaker 6: the team is on offense. You need to score in
- 37:15Speaker 6: the thirties.
- 37:16Speaker 12: I think I'll.
- 37:18Speaker 6: Take I'll take the Cowboys like a thirty four thirty
- 37:24Speaker 6: type win. I just think it has to be like that,
- 37:28Speaker 6: pull out all the stuffs. I think they're going to
- 37:30Speaker 6: block a punt. I think they're going to make a
- 37:33Speaker 6: play on special teams. They need to do something that
- 37:36Speaker 6: generates something. We're not getting the turnovers like we used to.
- 37:42Speaker 6: I think this is a special team. Maybe terping turns
- 37:45Speaker 6: out we need a big play. We haven't had a
- 37:47Speaker 6: big play in a long time.
- 37:51Speaker 1: I'm with you, you know what, Rob, I've thought the
- 37:53Speaker 1: same thing driving into to work this morning. I thought
- 37:56Speaker 1: about that, and I thought, as bad as they were
- 37:58Speaker 1: on special teams, they're going to make a play on
- 38:01Speaker 1: special teams, like a punt return for a touchdown. I like,
- 38:05Speaker 1: yours a block and a punt, maybe a fake punt something.
- 38:09Speaker 6: Yeah, something. I mean, they just and I would love
- 38:14Speaker 6: for them to get a lead. It's like we just
- 38:16Speaker 6: talked about rushing like six yards. We're like, oh, look,
- 38:19Speaker 6: you know it's this team is like they're always playing
- 38:22Speaker 6: from behind. I would like for them to get a leader,
- 38:25Speaker 6: and it's just it's on the offense. Ferguson CD Dack.
- 38:31Speaker 6: Let's go this. This team is not the forty nine
- 38:34Speaker 6: ers defense. I think you guys could do something.
- 38:36Speaker 15: And you have to do something.
- 38:37Speaker 6: You have to split the next four games to have
- 38:41Speaker 6: a chance, and ideally you have to beat the NFC team.
- 38:46Speaker 6: So if you beat Atlanta and either Washington or Philly
- 38:50Speaker 6: and maybe lose, let's say, to the Texas, but then again,
- 38:53Speaker 6: a f last night. I don't even know what the
- 38:54Speaker 6: Texans are.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Yeah, but you got that way.
- 38:58Speaker 6: Oh no, you gotta split and maybe a blowout with
- 39:03Speaker 6: and I don't even know, blow with a win, give
- 39:05Speaker 6: me a win against it because Atlanta's good, yeah, and
- 39:08Speaker 6: there and they're home, and they're young, and everybody wants
- 39:12Speaker 6: to beat the Cowboys, you know, it makes them seem
- 39:15Speaker 6: better than they are, you sort of and with the Saints.
- 39:19Speaker 6: But yes, I think, uh and Dak Dak hears us,
- 39:23Speaker 6: Dak reads. I know he says, you know, yes he does.
- 39:26Speaker 6: I think I we're going to see the younger deck,
- 39:29Speaker 6: the fun deck, the Dack that was was having fun.
- 39:33Speaker 12: He needs to get back to having fun.
- 39:34Speaker 6: All right, you know it's it's a kid's game and
- 39:37Speaker 6: that thirty four thirty four to thirty Dallas.
- 39:40Speaker 1: All right, Rob, appreciate it. Good good call. Let's go fun, Dack.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Let's get get it, get back and playing. You know,
- 39:48Speaker 1: Dak yard football really is way way it was. And
- 39:52Speaker 1: we've talked about that, you know, because he has the
- 39:55Speaker 1: field at his house and the players would come over
- 39:58Speaker 1: in the offseason and stuff. But you but still talking
- 40:01Speaker 1: about those type of plays where you just you just
- 40:05Speaker 1: took off. You know, that wasn't the play. You're supposed
- 40:07Speaker 1: to throw it over here at a billy. He's in
- 40:09Speaker 1: the corner, you know, over here by the by the fence.
- 40:11Speaker 1: But I just decided to run, you know, and the
- 40:13Speaker 1: sun's coming down anyways. I can't even see. It's dark.
- 40:16Speaker 1: I was supposed to go home in ten minutes ago.
- 40:18Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take off and score. You have to
- 40:20Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff. You need to do that
- 40:23Speaker 1: second down. Then there's the play over here. Okay, but
- 40:26Speaker 1: the the field is wide open and we need these
- 40:29Speaker 1: seven yards here, seven maybe eight And if I go,
- 40:33Speaker 1: if I dive head first, I can get ten. You
- 40:36Speaker 1: need to you need to play that way. I'm all
- 40:38Speaker 1: for that. I think I think that that call. I
- 40:40Speaker 1: liked everything that you said there. They have to score
- 40:43Speaker 1: in the thirties. I believe that special teams, you know what,
- 40:47Speaker 1: you owe one on this on this team. You didn't
- 40:50Speaker 1: play well in the last game, and they're better than that.
- 40:53Speaker 1: John John Fossil's group has been better than that. The
- 40:55Speaker 1: special teams has been pretty good this year, and it's
- 40:59Speaker 1: been pretty good since he took over. I mean, they
- 41:01Speaker 1: got good units, they got guys going to the Pro Bowl,
- 41:04Speaker 1: you know, kicker, punter, kick return, all that stuff. They
- 41:08Speaker 1: did not have a great game this last time, and
- 41:11Speaker 1: they got to turn things around. And because you know,
- 41:14Speaker 1: when your defense is struggling, your offense has to be good.
- 41:17Speaker 1: And you've got you got to land two out of
- 41:18Speaker 1: the three, especially on the road, you got to go
- 41:20Speaker 1: win two out of three phases. All right, let's go
- 41:22Speaker 1: to Doc in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
- 41:25Speaker 7: Doc.
- 41:25Speaker 1: What's up?
- 41:26Speaker 12: Hey, Good morning, Nick morning? How you doing good?
- 41:28Speaker 15: Good?
- 41:29Speaker 6: Hey?
- 41:30Speaker 12: Two things I want to get into one. I first,
- 41:32Speaker 12: I have to apologize to Cowboys Nation because I've taken
- 41:35Speaker 12: my son to three games this year. We won all
- 41:39Speaker 12: three but this past Sunday, my brother's a nuclear physicist
- 41:42Speaker 12: out in California or San Francisco area, so I took
- 41:46Speaker 12: him and it broke the karma. So I got three
- 41:50Speaker 12: more games to go this year at least, and I'm
- 41:53Speaker 12: taking my son to all three. So yeah, that chalk
- 41:57Speaker 12: up six victories.
- 41:58Speaker 1: So are you going? Are you going to this?
- 42:00Speaker 3: No?
- 42:01Speaker 12: I can't make it to Atlanta. He has a test
- 42:03Speaker 12: on Monday, so.
- 42:07Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
- 42:08Speaker 12: But well, yeah, right, cyber security something I have known
- 42:13Speaker 12: nothing about it.
- 42:14Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sounds sounds important for sure.
- 42:17Speaker 12: But anyway, I'm optimistic. I wanted to call and tell
- 42:22Speaker 12: a Cowboys nation that we should be optimistic going into
- 42:26Speaker 12: the season. I had him at three and four. At
- 42:28Speaker 12: this point, I flipped flopped the New Orleans and Pittsburgh game,
- 42:32Speaker 12: but I thought, you know, we're going to take a
- 42:35Speaker 12: little while to get going with Zimmer and uh, just
- 42:38Speaker 12: a brutal schedule, by the way, the first place schedule,
- 42:41Speaker 12: we got San Francisco, Detroit, and Houston. Yeah, and Philadelphia
- 42:47Speaker 12: get the second place and I think Washington has the
- 42:49Speaker 12: fourth place schedule, so that they got cupcakes. So but
- 42:52Speaker 12: we're going to come around. Yeah, and I have a
- 42:55Speaker 12: good track record of predicting this. When when Jason Garrett
- 42:59Speaker 12: was was the coach, I picking the high low of
- 43:03Speaker 12: the wins losses. I was eight and two and I'm
- 43:06Speaker 12: four and er under McCarthy. Now this year I figured
- 43:10Speaker 12: nine or ten wins. I'm leaning towards ten and the
- 43:14Speaker 12: line was ten and a half. So but I still think.
- 43:18Speaker 12: I don't think Washington's as good as they've shown. I
- 43:21Speaker 12: don't think Philadelphia is that great, and I unfortunately have
- 43:26Speaker 12: to watch them every week. But that's a that's for
- 43:30Speaker 12: next week. I'll call you with Eagles stories. But I
- 43:33Speaker 12: still think this is a good team. I mean, I
- 43:37Speaker 12: don't like the running back by committee. It's like the
- 43:39Speaker 12: wide receiver by committee that was a disaster. This is
- 43:42Speaker 12: a disaster. I was one of the guys that said
- 43:46Speaker 12: either Keith Pollard or get I had been from the
- 43:50Speaker 12: Penn State country. I was for Chican Barkley, but Derrick
- 43:55Speaker 12: Henry would have been good. We just didn't do anything.
- 43:58Speaker 12: And the off season that's all other problem. That's a
- 44:03Speaker 12: front offers problem. It's not Mike McCarthy. So I want
- 44:06Speaker 12: to give a vote of confidence to Mike McCarthy and
- 44:08Speaker 12: see what you think. Are you optimistic that we can
- 44:11Speaker 12: turn this around?
- 44:12Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 44:12Speaker 12: I think.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I am. Thanks thanks for the call, Doc, A lot
- 44:17Speaker 1: of good points and good luck to travel into those
- 44:19Speaker 1: other games that you're going to this year. I got
- 44:22Speaker 1: a good UH brings good karma to the stadium, so
- 44:25Speaker 1: it needs to needs to do that. When it looks
- 44:28Speaker 1: like Washington, probably Washington, Carolina, Philly, those are the those
- 44:32Speaker 1: are the three road games after this one. I only
- 44:34Speaker 1: got four road games left. UH starts with Atlanta. Am
- 44:37Speaker 1: I optimistic they can turn it around? Yeah? I am,
- 44:40Speaker 1: I because I don't. I don't think this is a
- 44:42Speaker 1: bad football team. I don't think it's bad. I think
- 44:46Speaker 1: they I think right now it's hard to be average
- 44:49Speaker 1: with with some of the injuries that they have. I
- 44:51Speaker 1: think they can get back to good. Is it going
- 44:53Speaker 1: to be enough. Are they gonna have enough time to
- 44:56Speaker 1: get into the playoffs? I don't know. I think it's
- 44:59Speaker 1: gonna be a crazy the playoff, wild car wildcards scenarios.
- 45:04Speaker 1: There's just a lot of teams that seem like they're
- 45:07Speaker 1: they are in the mix, and so you you know,
- 45:11Speaker 1: and it may be the best way to do it
- 45:13Speaker 1: is to win the win the division. But that's that's
- 45:16Speaker 1: gonna be hard to I mean, you know, Washington's getting
- 45:18Speaker 1: hail Mary's for for touchdowns, you know, and playing like
- 45:22Speaker 1: they did and playing you know, pretty bad against the Bears,
- 45:25Speaker 1: but figuring out a way to win. That's that's what
- 45:29Speaker 1: playoff teams do. You know, you figure out ways to
- 45:32Speaker 1: win games even if it doesn't look pretty. And and
- 45:35Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you know, haven't done that enough either. Uh,
- 45:38Speaker 1: let's go to Randy and san Antonio.
- 45:41Speaker 8: Randy, Hey, Nick, how are you today?
- 45:44Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing good?
- 45:46Speaker 8: I'm doing well, enjoying getting to watch the show a
- 45:49Speaker 8: couple of days, back to backs fun. Yeah, anyway, just
- 45:52Speaker 8: so you know, Mick loved the show and also shout
- 45:56Speaker 8: out as a captain man. He brings it every time,
- 45:58Speaker 8: doesn't he.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it is brom in Vegas.
- 46:02Speaker 8: Yeah, so a couple of things, and I think we'll
- 46:04Speaker 8: probably see it, but I want to see all three
- 46:06Speaker 8: of the running backs. Like you said when we talked yesterday,
- 46:09Speaker 8: I want to see a little millwhere of Dalvin Cook
- 46:11Speaker 8: this week, but like to see all three of those
- 46:13Speaker 8: running backs, plus the full back act of and kind
- 46:16Speaker 8: of see if you've got the guys on this team,
- 46:19Speaker 8: because otherwise we're getting to a time where you got
- 46:22Speaker 8: to see if we're looking for a four three four
- 46:24Speaker 8: to four guy off a practice squad somewhere or something. Right,
- 46:28Speaker 8: if you don't have a guy here, you need somebody
- 46:30Speaker 8: to bring a little bit more juice and then you
- 46:32Speaker 8: figure out which two guys that you have here are
- 46:35Speaker 8: part of that. But I'd like to see that. And
- 46:38Speaker 8: then I wanted to give a quick shout out. So
- 46:40Speaker 8: I have had a question about one of your books,
- 46:42Speaker 8: so I've read both. If these walls could talk in Friday,
- 46:46Speaker 8: Saturday Sunday in Texas, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Texas.
- 46:50Speaker 8: If if any of those teams wins like they're expected
- 46:55Speaker 8: to do, you think that does better. Also, somebody lives
- 46:58Speaker 8: in Texas, I would shout out to them to go
- 47:00Speaker 8: get that on the Christmas list. Could still a great read.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 47:03Speaker 8: And I'm gonna say I think it's gonna be a
- 47:06Speaker 8: little bit different. I think we're going to see someone
- 47:08Speaker 8: like a twenty two to twenty one game. Gonna be
- 47:12Speaker 8: a lot of Brand and Aufrey, but I do think
- 47:13Speaker 8: the Cowboys pull it off.
- 47:14Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Thank you for the call Randy,
- 47:18Speaker 1: appreciate that, thanks for reading the books. Yeah, that was
- 47:22Speaker 1: a had I did have. In case people don't know,
- 47:26Speaker 1: I followed a high school, college and pro team obviously
- 47:29Speaker 1: the Cowboys high school college pro team in Texas all
- 47:33Speaker 1: season long. Basically just just wrote about, you know, how
- 47:36Speaker 1: different things were, also how similar they can be at
- 47:39Speaker 1: the same time, just on three different levels. And it
- 47:42Speaker 1: did not go well. From the season standpoint Cowboys. It
- 47:45Speaker 1: was twenty fifteen. Cowboys went four and twelve, and the
- 47:50Speaker 1: high school team was playing. Oh they did not make
- 47:52Speaker 1: the playoffs, Baylor was the team, and all the scandal
- 47:56Speaker 1: Loves the year, all the scandal and all that broke
- 47:58Speaker 1: later that season, So it did not go well. When
- 48:02Speaker 1: the book finally did come out. When the book finally
- 48:05Speaker 1: came out in twenty sixteen, the Cowboys were like four
- 48:08Speaker 1: and one with Dak and Zeke and things were rolling,
- 48:11Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people like I don't even
- 48:12Speaker 1: want to think about last year, and I'm like, oh,
- 48:14Speaker 1: that's cool, I have a book about it. So I mean,
- 48:16Speaker 1: I think the concept was fun, was you know, cool,
- 48:21Speaker 1: but just the timing of it wasn't didn't work out well.
- 48:24Speaker 1: But oh well, it happens, and thanks for reading that.
- 48:29Speaker 1: Thanks for everybody for this show for this week. A
- 48:32Speaker 1: lot of good calls today. I mean, I'm starting to
- 48:36Speaker 1: feel like the Cowboys should be, like, you know, favored
- 48:39Speaker 1: to win this game based off off the CALT. I
- 48:41Speaker 1: just think the excitement is there. I think everyone kind
