- 0:44Speaker 3: got to go out of town go take on the Dolphins.
- 0:47Speaker 3: We know how that is on the road. Can they
- 0:49Speaker 3: figure it out? Can they figure out these road issues?
- 0:52Speaker 3: Are they a good team? Are they a bad team
- 0:54Speaker 3: on the road? Are they somewhere in between? We've already
- 0:56Speaker 3: gone through that road earlier this week. We're talking, We're
- 1:01Speaker 3: talking that game, talking football movies, best football movies. We're
- 1:04Speaker 3: kind of that's been our theme of the week. Got
- 1:07Speaker 3: got a lot of good answers so far. Kind of
- 1:09Speaker 3: want to keep taking a poll and we get new
- 1:11Speaker 3: callers come in, see what they think. Different perspectives been
- 1:15Speaker 3: surprised on some of the answers that I've that I've
- 1:18Speaker 3: heard on some of these best football movies. Water Boys
- 1:21Speaker 3: getting a lot more love than I thought it would.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Uh eight eight eight, eight five five two two nine
- 1:26Speaker 3: seven is the number to call. You can text at
- 1:28Speaker 3: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Let's get to the phone lines. Let's get started. Got James,
- 1:35Speaker 3: he's in New Jersey. Good James, how are.
- 1:39Speaker 2: You under ones? Two?
- 1:42Speaker 4: She's one?
- 1:43Speaker 2: But the coaching and one of persons coaching the watch? Uh?
- 1:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we dropped him. Uh didn't hear a
- 2:01Speaker 3: whole lot of that call? Sorry that I know he
- 2:04Speaker 3: was waiting for a while, but did not hear a
- 2:06Speaker 3: lot of said something about the coaching and parsons. Uh,
- 2:11Speaker 3: let's just take a stab at it. Should we move
- 2:13Speaker 3: him around? Should he should he be playing at linebacker?
- 2:16Speaker 3: I don't know, Chris, what did you hear on that?
- 2:18Speaker 3: Did you think? Is that what you you got from
- 2:20Speaker 3: that were there? That was all over the place.
- 2:23Speaker 5: I don't know what happened there.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Yeah, it sound very digital. Yeah, sorry about that, James.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Maybe he can call back, maybe a better line or something.
- 2:31Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Let's take a little shout out because
- 2:36Speaker 3: there has been some people talking about Micah Parsons moving, uh,
- 2:40Speaker 3: you know, moving around. Should he be playing linebacker, should
- 2:42Speaker 3: be playing in should he not be playing linebacker at all? Uh?
- 2:47Speaker 3: My take on on on Parsons on is you know,
- 2:51Speaker 3: he obviously is is great when he's you know, rushing
- 2:54Speaker 3: at different spots. And I think he's such a dynamic
- 2:57Speaker 3: rusher that that you know, people have to be a
- 3:00Speaker 3: county account for him at all times, and so that
- 3:03Speaker 3: is an advantage. I think they do have virtatile players
- 3:06Speaker 3: around that you know, that are that can also play.
- 3:10Speaker 3: But I think that's kind of the issue is that
- 3:11Speaker 3: you got because of him, you're getting guys playing different spots.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Sometimes they don't you know, hold the edge on the outside.
- 3:19Speaker 3: So you know, he he causes them to move some
- 3:22Speaker 3: players around. It's not an easy look. And you know,
- 3:25Speaker 3: for the most part, this defense has been really, really good.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I mean it's been a good defense. But they got
- 3:30Speaker 3: a hand it to him the other night. They couldn't
- 3:33Speaker 3: they couldn't score points on offense, and so therefore they
- 3:36Speaker 3: were behind and they they couldn't they just couldn't stop
- 3:39Speaker 3: the run. And also they didn't tackle. I mean they
- 3:41Speaker 3: were in position. Sometimes they just did not tackle and
- 3:43Speaker 3: two yard game turned into seven, eight eleven and they
- 3:48Speaker 3: kept moving the sticks. And so you know, I think
- 3:50Speaker 3: it's back to the drawing board this week, you know,
- 3:52Speaker 3: with with some of the basics. And you better be
- 3:54Speaker 3: tackling this week against the Dolphins, because they're gonna be
- 3:57Speaker 3: they'll be bringing, they'll be bringing the speed and they'll
- 3:59Speaker 3: they'll be right out you before you even know it.
- 4:01Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Irene in Virginia is our
- 4:04Speaker 3: next caller. Irene.
- 4:07Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Nick, morning.
- 4:09Speaker 3: How are you.
- 4:11Speaker 7: It's been a couple of weeks.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, everything.
- 4:14Speaker 5: For the first time, I could not get through. I tried,
- 4:16Speaker 5: but I couldn't.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Say sorry, that's good.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Now it's good.
- 4:20Speaker 7: I love it.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Yeah, quick shout out though. I was listening on Monday
- 4:24Speaker 5: of last week and I was thinking, oh, I haven't
- 4:26Speaker 5: heard Joe in Stanford in a while. And I was like, oh,
- 4:29Speaker 5: maybe me call.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Him more often.
- 4:30Speaker 5: It's not like women. And then he gave me a
- 4:32Speaker 5: stout out and I'm like, you know what, it's usual, buddy,
- 4:35Speaker 5: you guys.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Yeah, this storyline family is growing. Love it. It's great.
- 4:40Speaker 6: All right.
- 4:40Speaker 5: So a couple of things on penalties, how to earn
- 4:43Speaker 5: them and how not to earn them.
- 4:44Speaker 8: Okay, so I got too flack.
- 4:47Speaker 5: On Twitter because I and even in my crowd that
- 4:49Speaker 5: I was watching with on Sunday for not at all
- 4:53Speaker 5: appreciating Zach Martin's right whatever. I know you got to
- 4:56Speaker 5: stand up for your quarterback, but not that level. Just
- 5:00Speaker 5: go get in this face. I don't want the Andy
- 5:02Speaker 5: Dalton saying where nobody goes, nobody cares. But the best
- 5:06Speaker 5: way to get revenge and then have that actually translate
- 5:09Speaker 5: the rest of the game is you scored over there
- 5:11Speaker 5: and you make him really pay for that penalty because
- 5:14Speaker 5: guess what, back going and hitting him didn't prevent the
- 5:17Speaker 5: other guy from targeting his head later in the games,
- 5:20Speaker 5: right right, right, that won't be get an injection. But
- 5:23Speaker 5: then anyway, then the other one, we got flop master
- 5:28Speaker 5: over there, right with with with the demarct floor and shove.
- 5:34Speaker 5: I think you were talking the other day about they
- 5:37Speaker 5: need to sit on the fumble. Somebody needs to sit
- 5:39Speaker 5: and trend their injured Mike and the podcast. Then instead
- 5:43Speaker 5: of that, learn how to flop man. Gave you a
- 5:47Speaker 5: masterclas the people who get the calls are the ones
- 5:49Speaker 5: that fly in the air. There's too much pride there, like.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Just earn a call or you know, I know, I know,
- 5:56Speaker 3: I mean, like you hate that, you know, because it's
- 5:59Speaker 3: not for the integrity of the game. Is kind of
- 6:01Speaker 3: the sacrifice. But everyone else is doing it. It's kind
- 6:05Speaker 3: of like the picks, you know, a few years ago,
- 6:06Speaker 3: setting picks at receiver, you know, and the you know,
- 6:09Speaker 3: we're running routes and picking other receivers. Everyone else was
- 6:12Speaker 3: doing it other than the Cowboys, And you have to
- 6:14Speaker 3: do this, And I think you're right, you have to
- 6:16Speaker 3: sell calls. You hate it, but but that's that's part
- 6:19Speaker 3: of it.
- 6:20Speaker 5: So exactly. So, I don't know how to feel about
- 6:24Speaker 5: this game, because this was a game I was worried about.
- 6:26Speaker 5: I was not worried about Buffalo at all. That's clearly
- 6:30Speaker 5: it didn't happen. It's hard to argue against the they
- 6:34Speaker 5: haven't lost twice. But I just I don't know. There's
- 6:38Speaker 5: a lot of weapons there. I'm hoping Broadus is right
- 6:41Speaker 5: about their offensive line and we can take advantage and
- 6:45Speaker 5: and at least maybe it's more like the Seahawks game,
- 6:47Speaker 5: but it's hard to see. They have great runners.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Yeah, more than one.
- 6:52Speaker 5: It's not just James Cook.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Yeah, they bring they bring waves, you know, And that's
- 6:57Speaker 3: that's the thing that's tough. I mean. And and now
- 7:00Speaker 3: obviously Tyreek Hill is the difference maker there because I
- 7:03Speaker 3: mean without him, they're not as good. That they showed
- 7:05Speaker 3: that not against the Jets, and against the Jets they
- 7:08Speaker 3: were kind of all over the place that they were
- 7:10Speaker 3: real good there. But I think that they are a
- 7:12Speaker 3: different team without him. But he's gonna be there, He's
- 7:13Speaker 3: gonna be ready to go. And they just have so
- 7:15Speaker 3: much depth and so much speed that before you know it,
- 7:18Speaker 3: somebody's getting getting behind you. So they challenge you. That's
- 7:22Speaker 3: why they leave the league in points. And the Cowboys
- 7:24Speaker 3: are half a point behind them, but they do leave
- 7:27Speaker 3: the league in points.
- 7:29Speaker 6: Yep.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Well that's that's all I got. Hey, maybe this week, Irek,
- 7:35Speaker 5: we can get the drawn Land six pick, because I
- 7:37Speaker 5: definitely thought it was coming last week.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. For sure, I think there's people thanks
- 7:43Speaker 3: for the call. Iren. There's people in Miami that that
- 7:45Speaker 3: that you know, that question not question, I mean, it
- 7:49Speaker 3: is what it is. But when it comes to like
- 7:51Speaker 3: scoring points, it's always just been who scores the most points,
- 7:55Speaker 3: you know, and and the Dolphins have like thirty one
- 7:57Speaker 3: points and the Cowboys are like thirty point five or
- 8:00Speaker 3: something like that. But but you know, they they they obviously,
- 8:04Speaker 3: you know, have scored more touchdowns on offense, because the
- 8:08Speaker 3: Cowboys have seven touchdowns on defense or special teams. I
- 8:14Speaker 3: think seven non offensive touchdowns. I Bland obviously with five,
- 8:17Speaker 3: and I Bnoghany has the first one, and Evander esh
- 8:21Speaker 3: I think scored. There may be another one in there,
- 8:24Speaker 3: but yeah, they've they've had seven. Not that it matters
- 8:27Speaker 3: at the end of the day, just score points, you know,
- 8:29Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter. All right, Let's go to our
- 8:31Speaker 3: next caller, Brian in Kansas City. Good morning, Nick morning.
- 8:37Speaker 3: How are you.
- 8:38Speaker 9: I'm doing good, sir, Mary Christmas you too.
- 8:42Speaker 6: You know.
- 8:42Speaker 9: So they made a little bit of a big deal
- 8:44Speaker 9: when we played the Eagles about how the Eagles, this
- 8:47Speaker 9: was on the TV broadcast, how the Eagles would throw
- 8:50Speaker 9: their hands up in the air and do a pirouette
- 8:52Speaker 9: when they were trying to get a holding call.
- 8:54Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I've watched a lot of football that, you know,
- 8:59Speaker 10: not just the cow Boys, just a lot of football
- 9:01Speaker 10: in general. And I see a lot of players do that.
- 9:04Speaker 10: I think it must be a taught thing by some coaches.
- 9:07Speaker 10: And I'm thinking because Mike, and I know you said
- 9:10Speaker 10: Mike maybe runs his mouth a little bit too much
- 9:12Speaker 10: at the rest, but maybe we need to teach that
- 9:16Speaker 10: because I see him get held so so frequently where
- 9:19Speaker 10: I could see his jersey being pulled away from his body.
- 9:23Speaker 10: And I don't know, I just I don't know if
- 9:26Speaker 10: it's just not taught in Dallas, you know, to what
- 9:29Speaker 10: I see mostly is is defensive lineman throwing their hands
- 9:33Speaker 10: up in the air draw attention to themselves when they
- 9:36Speaker 10: want to get that holding call. And then I had
- 9:38Speaker 10: an old time cowboy for you if you had a
- 9:40Speaker 10: story on Kevin Gogan brother and have a great one.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. Last night I did a show on
- 9:48Speaker 3: It was Cowboys Cross Talk up in the at the
- 9:50Speaker 3: Cowboys Club. Nate Newton was there, Larry Brown. We were
- 9:53Speaker 3: talking about there was a depth on the team and
- 9:55Speaker 3: just how you know, at both of their positions. I mean,
- 9:58Speaker 3: they just had so much depth all the time. An
- 10:01Speaker 3: offensive line was one of them. Because you know, Kevin
- 10:04Speaker 3: Gogan ended up being a Pro Bowl player at other
- 10:08Speaker 3: teams with the forty nine Ers and the Raiders, And
- 10:10Speaker 3: I know this that he was in the Pro Bowl
- 10:12Speaker 3: because he's the only guy that I've ever seen really
- 10:14Speaker 3: they got in a fight in the Pro Bowl, like
- 10:16Speaker 3: a big time fight. That's how that's this kind of
- 10:20Speaker 3: guy he was. But I remember, it's funny because we're
- 10:23Speaker 3: talking about Zach Martin and Irene made that the point
- 10:26Speaker 3: about protecting your quarterback back in the eighty nine Bounty
- 10:30Speaker 3: Bowl game with the Eagles, that they maybe had bounties
- 10:33Speaker 3: on players and eight men and all that they tackled
- 10:36Speaker 3: Akman very very late back in the end zone and
- 10:39Speaker 3: threw him to the ground after the play. I mean,
- 10:41Speaker 3: it was one of those fall starts that they blew
- 10:43Speaker 3: the whistle dead and they still went and tackled Akman,
- 10:45Speaker 3: threw him down, and Gogan wasn't having it. He was
- 10:49Speaker 3: in one of the guards. He was ready to go,
- 10:50Speaker 3: and he you know, he had I mean, he had
- 10:53Speaker 3: his hands up, you know, he was ready to fight.
- 10:55Speaker 3: And he was just that kind of player. But now
- 10:59Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't cover him. So I've heard stories
- 11:02Speaker 3: from people that were here to tell stories. I mean,
- 11:05Speaker 3: it sounded like he was a riot like in the
- 11:08Speaker 3: locker room and just some of the things he would do,
- 11:10Speaker 3: especially from you know, pranksters and things like that. I
- 11:14Speaker 3: don't I don't know a whole lot about it, but
- 11:15Speaker 3: I know that he was a guy that really wasn't
- 11:18Speaker 3: a starter, but he he ended up going to another team.
- 11:21Speaker 3: They just couldn't pay everyone and went to other team,
- 11:23Speaker 3: and he was a really good player. That's just kind
- 11:25Speaker 3: of how how it goes, all right. The first part
- 11:28Speaker 3: you said about holding calls teaching that, God, I hate
- 11:32Speaker 3: to be I'd hate it for that to be the
- 11:34Speaker 3: case to be teaching it. I don't know if if
- 11:37Speaker 3: it's taught, you know, from offensive line or defensive line,
- 11:41Speaker 3: Like all right, you get to this point, you know,
- 11:42Speaker 3: put your hands up and start yelling. I don't, I
- 11:45Speaker 3: don't know. You know, obviously like NBA is taking out
- 11:48Speaker 3: the flop or trying to and that that will happen.
- 11:52Speaker 3: I do think that what's happening too, is like it
- 11:55Speaker 3: happened in the Eagles game. I think some but Fletcher
- 12:00Speaker 3: Cox or somebody was doing that and Tyler Smith had
- 12:04Speaker 3: kind of turned him and he put his hands up
- 12:06Speaker 3: and they threw a flag and they touched down to
- 12:07Speaker 3: CD and then they picked it up. I I really
- 12:11Speaker 3: think that upstairs a night or New York I think
- 12:14Speaker 3: is involved in that. I really do you know that
- 12:17Speaker 3: really wasn't a hold and uh, because it can't just
- 12:21Speaker 3: be other set of eyes coming in. I think that's
- 12:23Speaker 3: that's happening for sure. So I don't know if it's
- 12:26Speaker 3: getting taught, but you know, hopefully they they'll they'll kind
- 12:29Speaker 3: of clean that, clean that part up, but it definitely happens.
- 12:33Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Dennis in Pennsylvania.
- 12:38Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, just calling you.
- 12:40Speaker 11: I got to call last week talk about the h
- 12:42Speaker 11: the Eagles Cowboys game where we saw our man Kelvin
- 12:46Speaker 11: mart returned the punt yep five yards.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:49Speaker 9: Two quick things.
- 12:50Speaker 11: Number one, I'm not suggesting this this year because I
- 12:54Speaker 11: know cornerback depth is at a premium, but could you
- 12:57Speaker 11: ever see Deron Bland returning punts with his elusiveness.
- 13:04Speaker 3: He's got to catch it, and I mean they's got
- 13:06Speaker 3: to catch the punt and catching and catching an interception
- 13:08Speaker 3: and catching a punt obviously two different things. That's got
- 13:11Speaker 3: to be the key. You've got to be able to
- 13:13Speaker 3: catch that punt. I you know, possibly, uh, but but
- 13:19Speaker 3: the game has changed so much within the return game
- 13:22Speaker 3: that it's mainly just fair catch. You know, the teams
- 13:26Speaker 3: don't want long returns. They they they're basically just putting
- 13:30Speaker 3: it up there, high hanging time, Go up there, go
- 13:33Speaker 3: down you know field that you know, go down there
- 13:35Speaker 3: and cover it and fair catch and all that. You know,
- 13:38Speaker 3: get to midfield. It's fourth down, punt it get it
- 13:41Speaker 3: inside the ten. So you got to catch the football.
- 13:43Speaker 3: And and I'm not saying that he can't. He can
- 13:45Speaker 3: do that or he can't, but and I want to
- 13:48Speaker 3: say he has done some of that. I like, they
- 13:52Speaker 3: always have other returners and I want to say he
- 13:55Speaker 3: was a part of that. Like as far as kick
- 13:57Speaker 3: return goes, I don't know about punt so he's got
- 13:59Speaker 3: the experience. He's made some plays. I mean, he's made
- 14:05Speaker 3: some some in interception returns and where he's had to
- 14:08Speaker 3: break tackles and all that. I don't. I still think
- 14:11Speaker 3: he's you know, he's mainly he's got the great jump
- 14:14Speaker 3: on the ball, got to pick run it in. I don't.
- 14:17Speaker 3: I don't know if he's how elusive he is for
- 14:20Speaker 3: a punt returner, but really it comes out. You got
- 14:22Speaker 3: to catch the ball. You gotta catch the ball. All right,
- 14:24Speaker 3: We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna take a
- 14:26Speaker 3: quick break here on storyline. We're gonna come right back
- 14:28Speaker 3: with your calls and your text be right back on storyline.
- 14:32Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
- 14:34Speaker 12: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought
- 14:37Speaker 12: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be
- 14:40Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.
- 14:43Speaker 12: But the good news is Todd has AT and T
- 14:45Speaker 12: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
- 14:48Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

- 16:46Speaker 3: getting it. Going here on the phone lines again, going
- 16:48Speaker 3: back to Pennsylvania where we got another call here from
- 16:51Speaker 3: This is Doc in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Doc, Yes, hey, what's
- 16:59Speaker 3: up A.
- 17:01Speaker 4: Great I have a bunch of points to point out,
- 17:06Speaker 4: but most of them are every Actually all of them
- 17:10Speaker 4: are positive. So uh, you know, I was a big
- 17:15Speaker 4: fan of changing to uh the coach, and then you
- 17:22Speaker 4: know everybody this even before this year, you weren't one
- 17:26Speaker 4: of them. But most of the media was like, oh, well,
- 17:28Speaker 4: we got to get rid of McCarthy, you know, blah
- 17:34Speaker 4: blah blah, and and I was like, what are you
- 17:37Speaker 4: talking about? To twelve and five years after the COVID
- 17:42Speaker 4: and and you were on board with him. He was
- 17:46Speaker 4: a great coach and even you know, now we moved
- 17:51Speaker 4: on from the offensive coordinator to San Diego and it's
- 17:56Speaker 4: so good. You know, he's done a great job. After
- 18:00Speaker 4: the Buffalo game, I was thinking, oh, everyone is going
- 18:04Speaker 4: to be there for the you know, Doomsday. No, no, no,
- 18:11Speaker 4: you know Doomsday was listening to ten years of smiling
- 18:17Speaker 4: dope e opie, everything is good. How you doing, guys,
- 18:22Speaker 4: And you know he would have run out in front
- 18:25Speaker 4: of the team and you know, come to the press conference,
- 18:30Speaker 4: how we doing, bull guys? And and how what do
- 18:35Speaker 4: you mean? How we doing guys?
- 18:37Speaker 3: I mean, that's the issue, right, That's the issue you
- 18:39Speaker 3: have is Garrett. You keep you said that, like three
- 18:41Speaker 3: times Garrett would say, how are we doing, guys? That
- 18:44Speaker 3: was the problem you had. How we doing?
- 18:47Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 18:48Speaker 4: I did not like Garrett. I can't even watch them
- 18:51Speaker 4: on the Sunday night pregame because because you know, I'm
- 19:00Speaker 4: I've been here for nineteen sixty five through to and
- 19:04Speaker 4: including today, and I'm here for the good, the bad,
- 19:08Speaker 4: and the ugly. And Garrett was not. He was like
- 19:13Speaker 4: he was a sick of fit of the Joneses and
- 19:17Speaker 4: so we suffered for that. But mc McCarthy is not
- 19:25Speaker 4: and I love McCarthy.
- 19:28Speaker 6: And.
- 19:29Speaker 4: You know, he did some mistakes, but okay, everybody has
- 19:36Speaker 4: that and.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Okay, all right, thanks for the call, Thanks for the call.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Appreciate that. It looks like trying to figure out what
- 19:46Speaker 3: you want to say that I think I think that
- 19:48Speaker 3: the gist of that was McCarthy. You like McCarthy better
- 19:51Speaker 3: than Garrett. A lot more consistency there, h. Garrett was consistent,
- 19:56Speaker 3: just not at a high level. And that's the thing
- 19:59Speaker 3: it was. It was it was always pretty you know,
- 20:02Speaker 3: just I would say average above average at times.
- 20:07Speaker 6: He was.
- 20:10Speaker 3: The thing about Garrett I thought, I thought, you know,
- 20:11Speaker 3: Garrett was a good coach, but this franchise needs greatness.
- 20:18Speaker 3: And that's what that's what. That's the level and the
- 20:21Speaker 3: standard that that you know they always are, you know
- 20:25Speaker 3: way too is the greatness here. And you know, I
- 20:31Speaker 3: I thought, I thought he was, you know, good, I'm
- 20:33Speaker 3: not gonna sit here and and you know, bashed Jason Garrett.
- 20:37Speaker 3: I thought he did a good, solid job. But he
- 20:40Speaker 3: was here for a long time, I mean, and the
- 20:43Speaker 3: message was consistent. It was a consistent message how are
- 20:47Speaker 3: we doing. That's what he did. That's I mean, he's
- 20:49Speaker 3: just he's a it's a good person, I mean, and
- 20:53Speaker 3: that's that's what he is. He treated people with respect
- 20:55Speaker 3: and so that's that's that was his thing. And I
- 20:58Speaker 3: don't think I had anything to do with the football
- 21:00Speaker 3: team or whatever, but you know, I think over time
- 21:04Speaker 3: the message just wore down. And he did a nice
- 21:07Speaker 3: job of getting these guys to play hard, play well,
- 21:10Speaker 3: even when you know they were over challenged or whatever.
- 21:13Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it wasn't it
- 21:15Speaker 3: wasn't good enough. And and McCarthy's come in and uh,
- 21:19Speaker 3: you know, he's taken kind of what they had here,
- 21:21Speaker 3: which was a good, you know, nucleus, not great, and
- 21:27Speaker 3: uh and he's he's made it, you know, made it better,
- 21:29Speaker 3: taking it to another level and and showed some consistency
- 21:32Speaker 3: that we just haven't seen, uh really in a long
- 21:35Speaker 3: time as far as going and making the playoffs. I'm
- 21:37Speaker 3: not gonna bas Garrett. If you think McCarthy's better, I do.
- 21:40Speaker 3: And that's you know, most people probably do as well.
- 21:43Speaker 3: So but that that's that's the thing though, that's not
- 21:46Speaker 3: what we're we're judging this by I'm sorry, but we're
- 21:49Speaker 3: not judging him. I mean, Jason Garrett maybe was you
- 21:52Speaker 3: know he did? Was he better than Wade? You know,
- 21:57Speaker 3: about the same they went to the same level. Was
- 21:59Speaker 3: Wade better than you know, Parcels and all that. That's
- 22:02Speaker 3: not the same. I mean it's Jimmy Johnson. Because Jimmy
- 22:04Speaker 3: Johnson took them to the Super Bowl, so did Barry
- 22:06Speaker 3: Switzer there in ninety five. That's the level that you're
- 22:09Speaker 3: trying to get these coaches to. All right, Jake in
- 22:11Speaker 3: Illinois our next caller.
- 22:15Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick.
- 22:16Speaker 3: How are you doing to Hey, Jake, how are you doing?
- 22:18Speaker 4: Great?
- 22:19Speaker 2: So?
- 22:20Speaker 8: I am sixty two years old and I have been
- 22:22Speaker 8: My parents are Dutch immigrants.
- 22:25Speaker 7: And my dad and.
- 22:25Speaker 8: I learned football while he was stationed at Resair Force
- 22:31Speaker 8: Space up at Lubwick, which is where I was born. Yeah,
- 22:34Speaker 8: so I've got a long history, right, So I wanted
- 22:37Speaker 8: to throw a few of these. Oh, by the way,
- 22:39Speaker 8: I am a first time caller.
- 22:42Speaker 3: Go there we go? I thought so, but I didn't.
- 22:45Speaker 3: You know, I've been embarrassed and I'd be like, are
- 22:47Speaker 3: your first time caller? Like, no, it's my eighth time.
- 22:49Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, sorry, so I'm not not asking anything.
- 22:55Speaker 8: No problem, definitely, first time. All right, So let's let's
- 22:57Speaker 8: go through your list. Lesser known U cowboys maybe not
- 23:02Speaker 8: so nesser lesser, but Chad Hennings as a retired Air
- 23:06Speaker 8: Force person. Do you know what airplane he flew?
- 23:11Speaker 3: I don't.
- 23:13Speaker 4: He put the A ten and he.
- 23:14Speaker 8: Was too big to put in it.
- 23:15Speaker 4: So they had to.
- 23:16Speaker 8: Yeah, they had to adjust it.
- 23:17Speaker 4: You're right, the work hard.
- 23:19Speaker 3: That's Chris being right there. That was not me, unless
- 23:23Speaker 3: unless it was in Maverick, you know, top Gun Maverick.
- 23:25Speaker 3: I don't know about airplanes and all that stuff.
- 23:28Speaker 9: I'm sorry, no, no problem, all right for you.
- 23:31Speaker 6: A question for you?
- 23:32Speaker 8: What unique product did won't Harrison advertised?
- 23:39Speaker 6: Was it?
- 23:43Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 23:46Speaker 8: I put a paste between my cheek and gum.
- 23:49Speaker 3: I remember Randy White also doing that, Like that's what
- 23:51Speaker 3: I remember Randy White like in the eighties. But yeah, yeah,
- 23:54Speaker 3: you don't see those anymore.
- 23:56Speaker 8: No, and you just man, you just mentioned my favorite player,
- 24:00Speaker 8: Randy White. Okay, favorite movie Longest Yard, the Original Longest Yard.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Okay. Good.
- 24:08Speaker 8: My wrestler, this is actually one you you won't know,
- 24:11Speaker 8: but this is actually my step son. He went to
- 24:14Speaker 8: wrestling school in Louisville, Kentucky, and he wrestled under the
- 24:18Speaker 8: name of thunder League. Thunder Lee thundered Lee. Yeah, it
- 24:22Speaker 8: looks like he looks like Ackleman hair. Everything he looks
- 24:26Speaker 8: just liking.
- 24:27Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna say thunder lips. That would
- 24:29Speaker 3: have been cool.
- 24:31Speaker 8: No, No, I don't think it's life would like that.
- 24:33Speaker 9: Okay.
- 24:34Speaker 8: With respect to the Miami game, I believe it can
- 24:37Speaker 8: go either one of two ways. I think it can
- 24:39Speaker 8: be either a close win by the Cowboys or a
- 24:42Speaker 8: total blowout by Miami. And I'm leaning towards this being
- 24:46Speaker 8: a cloth win as a repeat of the Seahawks game.
- 24:50Speaker 8: I trust our coaching staff, like you were talking about
- 24:54Speaker 8: Jason Garrett a minute ago. I trust this coaching staff
- 24:58Speaker 8: to make the changes necessary because they don't lose to
- 25:01Speaker 8: in a row. And I think our defense is going
- 25:04Speaker 8: to come out and really be fired up because of
- 25:07Speaker 8: how bad they looked last week. So this is, uh,
- 25:12Speaker 8: this is why I'm leaning towards them. They could get
- 25:14Speaker 8: the win. It would really be nice if wasn't playing,
- 25:18Speaker 8: but I don't.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not a Christmas present you're going to get. Sorry,
- 25:22Speaker 3: but he's playing. They sat him against the Jets knowing
- 25:28Speaker 3: we can win this game and let's get him for Dallas.
- 25:31Speaker 6: That's right.
- 25:32Speaker 8: Well either way, I'm a Cowboys fans wife through the good,
- 25:37Speaker 8: bad and the ugly, and I appreciate.
- 25:38Speaker 3: You taking all right, cool, thank you. That's what happens
- 25:41Speaker 3: when we get some of these first time callers. You know,
- 25:43Speaker 3: they we have all these questions, We've thrown out these themes,
- 25:47Speaker 3: and so you're like, you got to you gotta get
- 25:49Speaker 3: them all in. You gotta get them all in. So
- 25:52Speaker 3: I love it. That's great. Uh, Greg in Sacramento, California
- 25:56Speaker 3: is our next caller.
- 25:58Speaker 6: Greg, Hey, Nicky, nick going, it's good.
- 26:01Speaker 3: How are you?
- 26:02Speaker 7: I'm doing well? A couple of things. Favorite favorite foot
- 26:06Speaker 7: call movie is Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. Yeah, that's a great one,
- 26:10Speaker 7: although Any Given Sunday is kind of a close second.
- 26:13Speaker 7: I really like Any Given Sunday, and I feel like
- 26:15Speaker 7: I feel like Jak can relate with that. I feel
- 26:18Speaker 7: like he was he basically was Willie Beeman when he
- 26:20Speaker 7: took over for Tony Romo. But uh, anyway, my favorite wrestler,
- 26:25Speaker 7: favorite wrestler is Jake the Snake.
- 26:29Speaker 3: My favorite That's my favorite wrestler. Too, Jake the Snake
- 26:32Speaker 3: even though that's how that's why I call my son,
- 26:35Speaker 3: who's actually working with Chris Bean right now in the back.
- 26:37Speaker 3: I don't know if he's doing any work.
- 26:39Speaker 7: Awesome.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Yeah, Jacob's back there. I don't know if he's pushing
- 26:41Speaker 3: any buttons or doing anything, but we call him Jake
- 26:43Speaker 3: the Snake too.
- 26:44Speaker 7: So what's up, Jake Snake?
- 26:46Speaker 3: What's man? Maybe he needs to make an appearance here later.
- 26:52Speaker 7: Yeah, do that, that'd be great.
- 26:54Speaker 3: All right, all right, we'll see. He's a little teacher.
- 26:58Speaker 7: I got a couple of questions. So the first My
- 27:01Speaker 7: first question is I wish I would have gotten and
- 27:03Speaker 7: asked this before I heard brod Us.
- 27:04Speaker 6: Talking about it, but he was talking about it on
- 27:06Speaker 6: the break yesterday.
- 27:07Speaker 7: I think. But my question is about the mind receivers
- 27:10Speaker 7: and like their speed, like I know, we're kind of
- 27:12Speaker 7: afraid of their speed or I don't want to say afraid,
- 27:14Speaker 7: but we're aware of their speed. I don't really don't
- 27:18Speaker 7: think we should be afraid of it, because I think
- 27:20Speaker 7: there are ways of counting it. But but his point was,
- 27:23Speaker 7: you know, hitting receivers off the line or like you know, yeah,
- 27:26Speaker 7: do you think the cowboys will do that. I think
- 27:28Speaker 7: Dan Klint can like get somebody off the line to
- 27:31Speaker 7: at least like especially with Tyreek Hill, to at least
- 27:33Speaker 7: bump them, you know with Hill and waddle like at
- 27:35Speaker 7: least kind of throw them off the route a little bit.
- 27:38Speaker 3: That that sounds good, That sounds like a great plan.
- 27:41Speaker 3: The problem is they put them in motion. They also
- 27:43Speaker 3: put some of these guys off the line a little bit.
- 27:46Speaker 3: And if you try to get Tyreek Hill and you
- 27:50Speaker 3: try to jam them and you miss a friend, so.
- 27:58Speaker 7: Better is it better to Is it better to take
- 28:00Speaker 7: that risk or is it better to play off of
- 28:02Speaker 7: him and have him like hit you with the jukub
- 28:04Speaker 7: or something or just burn you, you know, on the
- 28:06Speaker 7: outside or somebody.
- 28:08Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think? I mean? I mean,
- 28:09Speaker 3: would you rather to or throw the ball in front
- 28:12Speaker 3: of you twelve times and see if he makes a
- 28:14Speaker 3: mistake or you can get the ball out or whatever,
- 28:16Speaker 3: or just take your chances on one deep ball with
- 28:19Speaker 3: him four yards behind you for a touchdown.
- 28:22Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't like.
- 28:23Speaker 3: I don't either. I don't either, So I don't love
- 28:25Speaker 3: any of this. But I'm just saying I think they
- 28:28Speaker 3: can They can score quickly on you. I I would
- 28:33Speaker 3: make them do the work. I think two is a good,
- 28:35Speaker 3: really really good player. He'll make some mistakes though he's
- 28:39Speaker 3: not I mean, he's still young. He's a young player.
- 28:41Speaker 3: So I have to keep it all in front of me,
- 28:44Speaker 3: keep it in front of me, and make the tackle.
- 28:46Speaker 3: They are fast. This is not herschel walker where they're
- 28:50Speaker 3: going to run you over. Make the tackle. Tackle the
- 28:53Speaker 3: guy if you find him first, find him located, and
- 28:56Speaker 3: put your hands on him and tackle him to the ground.
- 28:58Speaker 3: I mean that that's I mean.
- 29:01Speaker 7: And we do have fat, you know, pretty fast linebackers.
- 29:03Speaker 7: All these safeties that are coming down as linebackers, So
- 29:06Speaker 7: I agree with you there, they kind of make those tackles,
- 29:09Speaker 7: and I guess that's where we have to rely on
- 29:10Speaker 7: our on our pass for us also right to kind
- 29:13Speaker 7: of kind of affect to a little bit more and
- 29:15Speaker 7: then give our dbs a little bit more time to
- 29:17Speaker 7: kind of make those tackles and get a position. Okay, well,
- 29:22Speaker 7: my and then my second question is kind of a
- 29:23Speaker 7: funny question. You guys were I think you have mentioned
- 29:26Speaker 7: it on your I don't know if it was on
- 29:28Speaker 7: storyline that I heard it, but it was somewhere where
- 29:30Speaker 7: they were saying like that, we should, you know, get
- 29:33Speaker 7: get some sumo wrestlers to be on our line or
- 29:37Speaker 7: online or something like that. And I know it's kind
- 29:39Speaker 7: of silly, but there is kind of a little a
- 29:42Speaker 7: little thing in that. Like my question is why don't
- 29:45Speaker 7: players like train or practice other sports or other disciplines, right, Like,
- 29:49Speaker 7: I think there was something in the off season about
- 29:51Speaker 7: Mica doing like boxing training to help his hands and
- 29:55Speaker 7: stuff like that. So with our o line men, I mean,
- 29:57Speaker 7: why couldn't they train or you know, possible get some
- 30:01Speaker 7: of these guys that work with leverage, like sumo wrestlers,
- 30:03Speaker 7: or maybe like take some judo classes or something like
- 30:06Speaker 7: that to learn how to you know, center center gravity
- 30:09Speaker 7: and then what to do with that and stuff. I mean,
- 30:11Speaker 7: you know, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to
- 30:14Speaker 7: the end and help train these guys. Is that is
- 30:17Speaker 7: that something that just they don't do or that.
- 30:21Speaker 3: I honestly I don't. I don't think so. I mean,
- 30:25Speaker 3: I don't think it's a possibility. I'll say this. He
- 30:29Speaker 3: was not a sumo wrestler, okay, but like Isaac aler Comb, right,
- 30:34Speaker 3: he was from Mexico. He was a football player in Mexico,
- 30:38Speaker 3: and they they got him a part of the international program,
- 30:41Speaker 3: try to get him and teach him for three years
- 30:44Speaker 3: to try to teach him, you know, and he's already
- 30:46Speaker 3: a football player, to teach him to play the NFL style,
- 30:51Speaker 3: and it's hard to do that. He's part of I mean,
- 30:54Speaker 3: they wouldn't have done it if he didn't have an
- 30:57Speaker 3: exemption on the roster. So you know, it's just it's
- 31:01Speaker 3: just he's been in three years now, two years at
- 31:04Speaker 3: offensive line. They tried defense this past year. At the
- 31:07Speaker 3: end of the day, like he just he's not there.
- 31:10Speaker 3: I mean, just think about how many just think about
- 31:12Speaker 3: the USFL and the Canadian Football League and the XFL.
- 31:17Speaker 3: These are not these are non NFL. These These are
- 31:19Speaker 3: players that have been playing their whole life trying to
- 31:21Speaker 3: get in. So there's just so many players that are
- 31:25Speaker 3: just better than you just because you're a sumo wrestler
- 31:28Speaker 3: or whatever you got size. I mean, it's happened. I mean,
- 31:32Speaker 3: I remember a year, a couple of years ago, the
- 31:33Speaker 3: forty nine ers had a guy like a rugby type player,
- 31:36Speaker 3: but it just.
- 31:39Speaker 7: Brandon, a soccer player, I guess.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's that. Yeah, that's that's probably.
- 31:46Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I would think soccer player, soccer
- 31:48Speaker 3: style kicker. You know, I guarantee everybody, not everybody, but
- 31:53Speaker 3: I guarantee most of the people, like in the MLS
- 31:55Speaker 3: could kick a field goal. I mean, that's that's.
- 31:57Speaker 7: What I Funny. I talk to my brothers about that
- 32:01Speaker 7: all the time, and I've always wondered why NFL player,
- 32:03Speaker 7: you know, NFL personnel doesn't. It doesn't soccer.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not. Yeah, but that's not what it
- 32:11Speaker 3: is though. Soccer, and they can kick the ball, it's
- 32:14Speaker 3: right here, it's between the ears. It's the mental part
- 32:17Speaker 3: of it that you've got to be good. I mean,
- 32:19Speaker 3: there's probably five hundred kickers out there that can kick
- 32:23Speaker 3: field goals and kick it deep. But can they kick
- 32:26Speaker 3: the extra point when the crowd's going or can they
- 32:28Speaker 3: kick this thirty seven yard field goal in the wind
- 32:31Speaker 3: and all that and do what they need to do.
- 32:33Speaker 3: That's that's the difference to me. It's the mental part
- 32:36Speaker 3: of it. We've seen. We saw it last year. Maher
- 32:38Speaker 3: was amazing in the regular season and then he just
- 32:42Speaker 3: the mental part just kind of creeped in in the playoffs.
- 32:45Speaker 3: And he couldn't get out of it. He couldn't get
- 32:47Speaker 3: out of it, and it's you know, and it happened
- 32:48Speaker 3: again for him this year. So I think that's the
- 32:51Speaker 3: difference between some of these you know things. But anyways,
- 32:55Speaker 3: good call, good stuff. All right, let's go, let's keep
- 32:58Speaker 3: it rolling here. We got Bryce and Burlson Texas.
- 33:02Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how are you man?
- 33:03Speaker 3: Good? How are you doing?
- 33:05Speaker 6: Good man?
- 33:06Speaker 17: Thank you for taking my call.
- 33:08Speaker 6: A fan of the show.
- 33:11Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, So I have a couple questions regarding the
- 33:15Speaker 17: run defense issue that we have. With Marquispell being the
- 33:21Speaker 17: size he is, is there not any free agents out
- 33:25Speaker 17: there that we can sign for these last few.
- 33:30Speaker 16: Weeks of the season to see how they pan out
- 33:33Speaker 16: to have a maybe a bigger linebacker in there. And
- 33:36Speaker 16: then my second question would be when Diggs comes back
- 33:40Speaker 16: next year, do you think he would be smart to
- 33:43Speaker 16: keep Gilmore on the other side and Diggs of course,
- 33:47Speaker 16: and then put Bland at the slot corner.
- 33:53Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know they're gonna have to re
- 33:55Speaker 3: sign Gilmore, so possibly. I mean, you know, I think
- 34:00Speaker 3: I think you want to get as many corners as
- 34:02Speaker 3: you can, so you know that's gonna be tricky because
- 34:09Speaker 3: Bland is showing that he needs to be on the
- 34:12Speaker 3: field more. He's a good slot corner, but but he
- 34:18Speaker 3: It's a good problem to have, and and I've learned
- 34:20Speaker 3: a long time ago, don't get ahead of yourselves there
- 34:23Speaker 3: because you think, oh my god, what are we gonna
- 34:25Speaker 3: do with this position? We got four guys that are good,
- 34:27Speaker 3: and the next thing you know, you're getting a guy
- 34:28Speaker 3: off the street to play the position because this guy
- 34:31Speaker 3: got hurt, this guy got a suspension, this guy did that.
- 34:34Speaker 3: You never know, You never know, so you just kind
- 34:36Speaker 3: of deal with it. And you never can have enough
- 34:38Speaker 3: good corners. So I wouldn't I wouldn't really get too
- 34:43Speaker 3: far ahead. They're gonna to forget what they want to
- 34:46Speaker 3: do at corner. Do they want to draft someone? Do
- 34:48Speaker 3: they want to sign a veteran? I know he's a
- 34:51Speaker 3: free agent, gilmore Is. I think this is the last
- 34:53Speaker 3: year of Jordan Lewis as well his contract. So, you know,
- 34:57Speaker 3: good problem to have. What's your what was the first
- 34:59Speaker 3: part again, Oh, the linebackers. The linebackers. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
- 35:04Speaker 3: there's there's guys on the street that are in free
- 35:07Speaker 3: free agency with the you know, with the LB next
- 35:10Speaker 3: to their name. They've played it, they're they're available for
- 35:14Speaker 3: a reason. We know this, just like what Shaun Evans was,
- 35:17Speaker 3: just like Shaq Leonard was. And they've looked at these
- 35:21Speaker 3: but I mean it's got to make sense for what
- 35:24Speaker 3: they have and you got to know the system and
- 35:26Speaker 3: you can remember how much tweaking they do during the
- 35:28Speaker 3: week getting this game plan ready, and this is you know,
- 35:31Speaker 3: I mean, we're they're still making some mistakes here late
- 35:34Speaker 3: in the season like that. Where do you think a
- 35:36Speaker 3: new player is going to come in? Uh, there's just
- 35:39Speaker 3: not a lot of depth there. That hasn't been all
- 35:41Speaker 3: off season. There hasn't been a lot of guys that
- 35:43Speaker 3: to kind of go from. So, uh, you hate to
- 35:46Speaker 3: say this is what it is. I think your your
- 35:49Speaker 3: best thing is to probably look at a younger linebacker
- 35:52Speaker 3: that is on a practice squad that maybe they liked
- 35:56Speaker 3: coming and out out of college, and they say, you
- 35:58Speaker 3: know what I mean, maybe he can help some special
- 36:00Speaker 3: teams and maybe he's someone we can develop. So there
- 36:03Speaker 3: may be some of that going on, But I don't
- 36:06Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know if there's there's just a
- 36:08Speaker 3: there's not just a guy just sitting there that you're like,
- 36:11Speaker 3: you know, here's a here's a three time pro bowler,
- 36:13Speaker 3: and that was Shaq Leonard And uh, I don't know
- 36:16Speaker 3: what he's doing for the Eagles. If he's helped him,
- 36:18Speaker 3: I haven't. I haven't seen or heard him really do anything.
- 36:21Speaker 3: So uh, but we appreciate it. Thank you for the call.
- 36:25Speaker 3: I think this is first time caller for for Bryce.
- 36:28Speaker 11: Yeah all right, yeah that's.
- 36:31Speaker 6: Movie.
- 36:31Speaker 16: Yeah, remember the Titans and probably Rudy. Definitely feel like
- 36:38Speaker 16: we need.
- 36:38Speaker 17: That dan Quinn coach hos to tell the defense they
- 36:43Speaker 17: don't need.
- 36:43Speaker 16: To gain another yard or he'll take them all out.
- 36:46Speaker 3: You blitz all night. Yeah, that's what we need to do.
- 36:50Speaker 3: All right, love it, Thank you, Bryce, good stuff. All right,
- 36:53Speaker 3: Let's go to Rod. He's in El Dorado, Kansas. Don't
- 36:57Speaker 3: have a lot of callers from Kansas, but here's one.
- 37:02Speaker 17: How's it going, nixt good maning doing doing well?
- 37:06Speaker 11: Merry Christmas?
- 37:08Speaker 18: Hey, Uh, try to get in yesterday. Obviously very busy.
- 37:13Speaker 16: With heaving Darren on their bus.
- 37:18Speaker 18: I my question actually is to going to you though
- 37:24Speaker 18: you had mentioned on I believe it was Tuesday that
- 37:28Speaker 18: you didn't if we did end up with the five
- 37:30Speaker 18: seed that you didn't want to see us having to
- 37:35Speaker 18: go to New Orleans and actually the team that I
- 37:40Speaker 18: don't want to have to play if we do end
- 37:41Speaker 18: up in that fifth seed, if I mean, I think
- 37:43Speaker 18: will win that game. But the one that I'm that
- 37:46Speaker 18: I'm fearful of is Tampa Bay. I feel Baker Mayfield
- 37:50Speaker 18: is playing lights.
- 37:51Speaker 7: Out right now.
- 37:53Speaker 2: And they're.
- 37:55Speaker 18: I don't know, he just he feels I just feel
- 37:58Speaker 18: like he settled.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Into Hey Roight, hey Rod. I gotta I gotta be
- 38:03Speaker 3: honest with you. Seriously, if this football team, and this
- 38:07Speaker 3: is this is all due respect though, if this football
- 38:10Speaker 3: team is scared of playing Baker Mayfield, then then they're
- 38:14Speaker 3: not going to be a good football team. This isn't
- 38:16Speaker 3: the team we think they are. And I I hear
- 38:19Speaker 3: what you're saying. He's playing well and all that, or
- 38:21Speaker 3: they're they're winning some games, but at some point, you
- 38:24Speaker 3: gotta you gotta pay the piper. You gotta beat the
- 38:26Speaker 3: forty nine ers, you gotta beat Christian McCaffrey, brock Perty,
- 38:29Speaker 3: you gotta beat both, you gotta beat those guys. If
- 38:31Speaker 3: you can't beat Baker Mayfield, then you're not a good team.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Like you know, like like I agree, and you know what,
- 38:38Speaker 3: let me let me be fair. If you can't go
- 38:40Speaker 3: beat Derek Carr and Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara and
- 38:43Speaker 3: the Saints, same goes, because that's what I said. So
- 38:47Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not saying that at you. I'm saying
- 38:49Speaker 3: that to my point as well. If you can't go
- 38:52Speaker 3: beat those teams, if those you know, then you're really
- 38:54Speaker 3: not and so either of those teams. So yeah, you
- 38:57Speaker 3: have a preference Atlanta versus them. But uh, and I
- 39:01Speaker 3: didn't mean to to to call you out on that.
- 39:04Speaker 3: I was just thinking, you know, I don't have a
- 39:06Speaker 3: ton of respect for Baker Mayfield as a quarterback. Like
- 39:08Speaker 3: I feel like if you're if you're getting scared of
- 39:10Speaker 3: playing them, then you're you're not going to go very far.
- 39:13Speaker 3: And then the same goes for the Saints. You know,
- 39:15Speaker 3: the same goes for anybody that wins that division. But yeah,
- 39:19Speaker 3: but I think it's a process. They got to switch.
- 39:21Speaker 3: The NFL has got to change this rule quickly next
- 39:24Speaker 3: next year. You you do not deserve to be have
- 39:27Speaker 3: a home game. If you sneak in at seven or
- 39:29Speaker 3: eight and nine, you do not You need a home game.
- 39:32Speaker 3: You get to be in the playoffs. You don't get
- 39:34Speaker 3: a home game, you know. I treat it like the
- 39:36Speaker 3: NCAA tournament. You win your your your conference basketball tournament
- 39:39Speaker 3: at the end of the year. Cool, you got in.
- 39:42Speaker 3: You just knock somebody out. You're an eleven seed, good luck.
- 39:45Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean that you get to be a
- 39:46Speaker 3: high seed. You get in. That's what I think winning
- 39:49Speaker 3: the division should let you do, is get in, and
- 39:51Speaker 3: then you should rank it best record top to bottom.
- 39:54Speaker 3: That's what I think. But I don't know if they'll
- 39:56Speaker 3: ever they love or change that.
- 39:59Speaker 18: So, yeah, it doesn't seem like that's any Hey, no, no,
- 40:04Speaker 18: fifth taken. I just and you're right, it's more about preference,
- 40:08Speaker 18: I guess.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Yeah, And I see that. You know, you get in
- 40:12Speaker 3: the Tampa it could be raining. We don't want that,
- 40:15Speaker 3: you know what I mean, you don't you don't want
- 40:16Speaker 3: that for sure. But yeah, it could be one of
- 40:19Speaker 3: those one of those kind of nights. So but I
- 40:23Speaker 3: you know, hopefully true for the Giants. Maybe the Giants
- 40:27Speaker 3: will well, we'll sneak up beat the Eagles.
- 40:31Speaker 18: Yeah, I feel like they're gonna take take one of
- 40:34Speaker 18: the Cowboys. Yeah, random Cowboys from the late seventies early eighties,
- 40:40Speaker 18: actually a couple of them. How about j Saldy tight
- 40:42Speaker 18: end and Doug Cosby Cosby.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Yeah, two tight ends there. J Saldy, Uh, yeah, they
- 40:49Speaker 3: what I remember. I've met him a couple of times
- 40:52Speaker 3: because I remember his son, John Saldy played. He tried
- 40:55Speaker 3: to make the team. It was, it was, it was
- 40:57Speaker 3: on the roster. I didn't make the team, but he
- 40:59Speaker 3: was like a free agent from Texas Tech, and so
- 41:02Speaker 3: he was at practice a couple of times. I think
- 41:04Speaker 3: at wichitall falls and yeah, and then Doug Cosby, I
- 41:07Speaker 3: think an underrated player made some Pro Bowls, so it's
- 41:11Speaker 3: not that underrated. But when we think about tight ends,
- 41:14Speaker 3: and you know, in the history of the team, you know,
- 41:17Speaker 3: it's all obviously witting, and then Novacheck and Billy Joe
- 41:20Speaker 3: dupri gets some stuff. But Doug Cosby kind of gets
- 41:23Speaker 3: left out a little bit, as do a lot of
- 41:25Speaker 3: those guys from the eighties. I mean, that just wasn't
- 41:27Speaker 3: a winning era. I think Everson Walls gets overlooked too,
- 41:31Speaker 3: because they were just really good players in an era
- 41:34Speaker 3: that they didn't win Super Bowl. So yeah, all right,
- 41:39Speaker 3: good stuff, all right, Let's go to a text question. Here.
- 41:42Speaker 3: We got Dan and Philly his favorite movie, Longest Yard,
- 41:46Speaker 3: the Original, and North Dallas forty wrestlers Bruno San Martino
- 41:50Speaker 3: and Baron Michaels Sekluna. I don't know him, Classy Freddy
- 41:54Speaker 3: Blassie as a manager. I do remember him. He thinks
- 41:57Speaker 3: the Cowboys destroyed the Dolphins forty one thirteen. See, I don't.
- 42:03Speaker 3: I don't see you destroying the Dolphins. I do see them.
- 42:06Speaker 3: I do see them scoring some points and the Dolphins
- 42:10Speaker 3: still scoring. Cowboys are trying to get control and maybe
- 42:15Speaker 3: blow out the Dolphins, but they just keep throwing, you know,
- 42:18Speaker 3: getting touchdowns. And I see it being like that where
- 42:21Speaker 3: the Cowboys gonna have to hang on and the defense
- 42:24Speaker 3: is gonna have to keep making stops. But I just
- 42:26Speaker 3: see it kind of be in a high scoring game
- 42:28Speaker 3: like that. All right, got any call any other callers
- 42:32Speaker 3: on the line. I don't think we do. Right now,
- 42:36Speaker 3: Let's see hold on. We got yeah, Ben in Jersey,
- 42:39Speaker 3: Ben in New Jersey. What's up, nicky?
- 42:43Speaker 6: Nick? How are you doing you good?
- 42:45Speaker 3: It's first time calling?
- 42:46Speaker 6: Well, yes it is.
- 42:49Speaker 3: I said I wasn't gonna ask again. I just felt yeah, cool,
- 42:52Speaker 3: first time. Congrats.
- 42:53Speaker 6: What do you got Listen, I gotta tell you, I
- 42:57Speaker 6: am a little nervous of Dan.
- 43:00Speaker 3: Quinn Okay doing what leaving or just him as a coach.
- 43:06Speaker 6: Him making adjustments game time.
- 43:10Speaker 19: Uh.
- 43:10Speaker 6: He makes some good micro adjustments when it came to Gilly,
- 43:15Speaker 6: but in the back of my mind the defensive collapse
- 43:19Speaker 6: when they were in the Super Bowl haunts me. All right, yeah,
- 43:25Speaker 6: he doesn't make the major adjustments. For instance, I'll give
- 43:30Speaker 6: you one that I would love for him to try out.
- 43:33Speaker 6: Put Michael Michaeh back at will linebacker that I'm wrong,
- 43:38Speaker 6: three put him there. Let's say about for the snacks
- 43:44Speaker 6: and allow and allow him free reign. You put Sam
- 43:49Speaker 6: at strongside linebacker. You he can run because you got
- 43:54Speaker 6: him down as a point man on kick off punt
- 44:01Speaker 6: and so, and then leave the young young boy thirty
- 44:07Speaker 6: three in the middle that will that will stiffen up
- 44:12Speaker 6: your run defense. And then on passing downs put him
- 44:17Speaker 6: back on uh on the line to rush. And then
- 44:22Speaker 6: and then how about this three times a game you
- 44:28Speaker 6: have him rush from the strong safety position because you're
- 44:34Speaker 6: not going to lose anything because he has more speed
- 44:37Speaker 6: than most of your safeties right now?
- 44:41Speaker 3: Do you want you want him came back and coverage
- 44:43Speaker 3: it safety?
- 44:45Speaker 6: No, I want him blitzing from a safety position. Okay,
- 44:51Speaker 6: And now you've got to count on him.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's different there's different plays to to do.
- 44:56Speaker 3: You know, let's not let's not this isn't let's not
- 44:59Speaker 3: forget that that the teams can make a change on
- 45:01Speaker 3: the fly too, and so they can kind of counter
- 45:04Speaker 3: that too. You know, you see Parsons way out there.
- 45:08Speaker 3: I'm not discrediting that. I mean, I think they do
- 45:12Speaker 3: move him around a little bit. My only point is
- 45:14Speaker 3: is that what you think is a passing down is
- 45:16Speaker 3: not always a passing down. And it might be third
- 45:19Speaker 3: and nine, but if MIKEL. Parsons is way back there,
- 45:21Speaker 3: then I'm gonna I might run it on third and nine.
- 45:23Speaker 3: I mean, heck, they couldn't tackle Cook the other day,
- 45:25Speaker 3: doesn't matter what it was. So I it's it's a
- 45:28Speaker 3: cat and mouse game. It always will be. And you know,
- 45:31Speaker 3: and that's but but I'm I'm with you on moving
- 45:35Speaker 3: things around and all that. I appreciate the call. I've
- 45:38Speaker 3: got to.
- 45:39Speaker 6: Get Listen, is Parson faster than curse curse?
- 45:44Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, yes he is.
- 45:47Speaker 9: He look back there.
- 45:49Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know. I don't know if his hips
- 45:51Speaker 3: to turn and play and play the ball and the
- 45:53Speaker 3: coverage are the same. But I think, yeah, when he
- 45:55Speaker 3: when he when he gets it growing, he's faster.
- 45:58Speaker 6: Think about his person. And second year they had him
- 46:01Speaker 6: playing deep beat defensive bear and I wouldn't advise that. Yeah,
- 46:06Speaker 6: but but on a couple of players they had him
- 46:08Speaker 6: as a defensive back.
- 46:11Speaker 3: All right, all right, thanks, thanks for the call. Let's
- 46:13Speaker 3: go to Steve in New York. Steve Stevie there.
- 46:19Speaker 6: I'm here.
- 46:20Speaker 3: What's that?
- 46:20Speaker 6: Man?
- 46:22Speaker 19: Hey, what's going on here? I'm sorry? Just real quick,
- 46:25Speaker 19: North Dallas forty movie Old Schools. You could say they
- 46:29Speaker 19: had a lot of NFL players in that movie too.
- 46:34Speaker 7: Real quick though.
- 46:35Speaker 19: I'm not a big tie breaker person. I know there's
- 46:37Speaker 19: so many scenarios and whatnot. I'm more about just went
- 46:41Speaker 19: out and see what happens. So, if I read correctly,
- 46:45Speaker 19: if the Giants beat Philly one of these two games, okay,
- 46:50Speaker 19: we could lose a game, win the other two win,
- 46:52Speaker 19: win the division.
- 46:53Speaker 3: Yeah, he can't lose the Washington cannot lose the watch Washington. Yea, yeah,
- 46:57Speaker 3: absolutely can't lose the Washington But yeah, that that happens,
- 46:59Speaker 3: that really changes everything. If they lose, that's going to
- 47:02Speaker 3: change everything for sure. So but yeah, right now, I
- 47:06Speaker 3: think Philly has the advantage, but it changes dramatically if
- 47:10Speaker 3: they lose one game, so for sure. Thanks for the call.
- 47:14Speaker 3: All right, I got a I got a little special
- 47:18Speaker 3: guest in here today. What's up? What's up? Big guy?

- 47:33Speaker 3: football a little bit on the beach or something like that,
- 47:36Speaker 3: or they throw the ball around? Okay, that counts as
- 47:38Speaker 3: a football movie. Sonic Sonic the Hedgehog too. I've been
