• 0:39
  Speaker 3: certainly not the Lions team that we've seen in recent years.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough, physical game. Wouldn't expect anything else,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: anything less from Dan Campbell and that group. And they
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: got a lot of they got a lot of good
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: coaches over there that have got that team playing well.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: But obviously the Cowboys, we've seen it. We know they

• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I'll give a shout out to my best friend Chris

• 1:18
  Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it, no other way to say it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: He's the best, He's not. He's my favorite Chris of
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: all time. I muted and I'm to see Kelly. He's
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: not my favorite Chris of all time. He's just one
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: of my favorites from college. Anyways. Speaking of Chris, we
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: got another one online. We're gonna get right to the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: lions here, Chris and Mississippi will start us off here. Chris,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I'm great. You're my favorite Chris on the air right now.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I will be after this call.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: When you talk about confidence level, I was at Keen
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: earlier this year when I called and you had Woody own,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: and I think I'm more like a two now. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: just man, it goes from the top all the way
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: to the bottom.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Dude, roller coaster.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, I just don't understand. What I'm saying. Is like,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy, why do you wait till this game to
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: pull out Hunter LINKN I mean, you've had all these
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: other games you could have used this man in And.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Is that a good or bet thing?
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, I like what I liked the concept, but
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: the execution and the fact that they haven't been doing
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: it all year and it's unfamiliar to the quarterback and
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: to the running back. I just don't think it was
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: a good time to do it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: But if he scores a touchdown, what do you say?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Do you say? Wow? They waited all year long and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: they put this and pulled this out of his bag.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Great job.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well how about this, Nick. This is two games
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: this year, this one in the Philly game, and if
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: he had done what he had been doing earlier in
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: the season and kicking field goals, we would have won
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: the game anyway.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: So when when did he not kick a field goal
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: this game?
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: He could have kicked a field goal to the that
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: one that was a fourth down. Place should have just
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: kicked the field goal. We'd have won the game.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: What wouldn't have fumbled it? That was first and goal,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: That was first and goal from the one.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Well, that was first and goal. I thought it was
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: fourth and.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Goal, first and goal from the one. Got plenty of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: chances here, plenty of chances to score because Polar didn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: get in.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they had converted a fourth down with Hunter Linky
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: earlier when I thought they should have kicked the field goal.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: That's what it was. But anyway, I mean, I just like,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I'm just frustrated. I guess, no, And
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: since I was eleven years old, Yeah, we've been had
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: this good of a team.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: I believe.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: And I mean, the other thing is is that Michael Parsons.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't like complaining about the refs. The
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: refs are awful. I don't know the sixth board. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: guess you just make them full time employees, but they're awful.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And he but you don't like complaining about him? I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: love that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: No, I don't.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I don't like. I don't like the fact that Mike
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: is complaining and trying to be act like he's the
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: best defensive player in the league or on our team,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: because honestly, the most consistent player on defense on our
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: team is Tank Lawrence and has been for years, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: in my opinion, he plays everything. He plays the run.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: He put pass rushes, and I think that's the problem
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: with our deep with our run defense. Everybody wants to
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: pass rush. They don't want to stop the run. Micah
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: included in that this game he did do a little
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: better job, but he of pursuing the run and trying
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: to stop it. But this is the first game all
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: year I've seen him do that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: I want it?
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Like, how hard is it for them to tell him,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: hey man, act throw your hands up when they're holding,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: when they got you in a choke hold, throw your
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: hands up and fall on the ground. I mean, that's
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: a ten yard tennerty right there. I mean, they're not
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: calling it, so why don't you just try it? I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: try something different. It's just frustration on all and Nick,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it's gonna get any better. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: really don't, That's what That's what hurts me.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I don't either. I don't know if it's gonna get
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: better either.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you a question. What would you give
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: for a What would you give for a run stopping linebacker?
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: Right now?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I that's a tough question. I'd like to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: have one. I'd like to have one, but I don't
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: know what do you give? And how old is he?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Does he have a contract next year? Is are you
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: going to keep him on the team? That's kind of
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: you can't trade it. You can't trade anything right now,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: so you know you're not gonna give hi much for
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a run stopping linebacker, because that means he's on the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: street and he's probably not not that good, so not
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: a whole lot. But but I know what you're saying,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: it's a big need. It's a big need. What you're
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: really asking is what what position do you think that
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: they really need to fix? And I think it's a linebacker.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: So you're right, you're right on that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't agree with some of the other stuff, but
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I mean you basically just you just described to football,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: just the NFL, that's what it is. You were you
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: were out of ten, now you're out of two. You
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: could be at an eight next next Saturday night. If
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys beat the Lions, you know, which there's still
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: gonna be a frustration of like, well, nice win, but
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: they you know, can't do it on the road, or
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: they have to show they can do it on the
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: road and all that. But again, as I said yesterday,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: nobody's worried about your confidence. No one's worried about my confidence.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Our confidence doesn't matter here, it really doesn't. So because
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: they are all these things that we want, and you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: you're going off of what you see. But you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, they have to figure
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: it out themselves. They have to figure out what they
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: can do. And I think Jonathan Hankins's injury, I mean
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: that right there is is becoming one of the biggest
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: He's one of the most valuable players on the team.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: And if you don't believe so, just look it back
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the last two years. Every time he goes out, they struggle,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: and when he comes back in they play back better.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So I mean, get better Hankins.
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: All right, Michael, And for a fact check for you,
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: for Looki's both runs were on third and one.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: By the way, just fact check third and one third
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: one from the earlier in the game he's talking about.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: He's talking about for he's talking about first down.
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he says when they ran them earlier in the
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: game on fourth down, the only fourth they were got
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: the fourth and two and Dack through it to Fergus
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: And those are the only only time they got the
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: fourth Downright.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: He touched the ball, thanks Chris. He touched the ball
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: three times, well three times on that drive. He touched
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: it three times. He caught the ball once and he
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: had two runs. Uh, he was about to get it
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: into the fourth time he Uh, he didn't get the ball.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's simple as that. He didn't. He didn't
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: get the ball, and I think it sounds like there
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: was miscommunication on the play, on the play, on what
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the actual play was. So yeah, you can you can
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: fault the Cowboys for doing that. First, for putting him
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: in the game. He'd already got in a couple of times.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: But in that play right there on first and goal
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: from the one, it sounded like him and Dak thought
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I thought it was two different plays. And so that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that's bad. I mean, but but you know, those other
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: guys have got a score when they have a chance.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm more I'm more upset with the Pollard play, honestly.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I Mean, I just can't imagine a running back that
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: didn't get in the end zone on that play with
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: that much space, that much room, and and you need
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: that much to go. I mean, you basically have to
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: be picked up and thrown down to the ground to
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: not score there, which what happened. Michael Colton, California, what's
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: going on?
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: Nick Christmas and the whole Cowboys nations? I'm doing good
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: Mert Christmas to you, the whole Cowboys nation and a
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: happy New Year to everybody. Anyways, with that being said, hey, man,
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: that was a disappointing loss. But hey, you know what,
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: it's been a while since we lost two back to back,
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: and you can't win them all. You know, one play,
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: they were a couple of plays from going either way,
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: you know, one we would have been sitting here talking
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: about was a great victory, and and list and that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: But anyways, Hey, there was a caller that the other day.
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: He pulls the question. It was a very good one,
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: you know, And I said, and I thought about it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: He said, you know, who are we afraid of? You know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: in the playoffs? But once we hit the playoffs, you
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: know who who afraid of? You know? And I thought
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: about it. I was like, man, this guy's right, you know.
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: But then as I thought about it, maybe I overthought it,
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: you know, but I was like, man, you know what,
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: you know who I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of the
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboys. At the end of the day, I'm afraid
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: we're gonna shoot ourselves in the foot like we always do,
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: you know. And you know, Prescott, you know, man, I'm
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: really pulling for the guy. I don't mean to see
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: here and knock them all the time. But I'm just
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: you know, I can't help. But what I see, you know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: like Parcells says, you are what you are, especially at
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: this point in his career, what is he? I mean,
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: in my eyes, he's a great stat guy.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: You know, he puts up numbers.
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: But I mean, like I told you before, and and Nick,
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: you know, please correct me if I'm wrong, But it
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: seems like in the big games you can see it
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: in his eyes. It's like it's like the lights drawn.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: Nobody's home, you know.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: And no, I do not know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I do not know on that way, I'm gonna say no.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: So you said, you know, I'm gonna say no, I
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: do not know that. I do not know that nobody's home.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: To me, the baller, he is balling out. Watch the
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: game the other day.
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: That was that That was a great you know, driving
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: That was a great throw. You know what, Nick, I
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: need consistency, not flashes of being good. I need consistently
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: consistency for him to be.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Good that every time.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: Okay, And another thing I just want to say real quick.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: You know the other day I made that comment about
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: Mike Tommins, and I just want I'm not at all
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: calling for McCarthy's job. But I listened to all social
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: media platforms of Dallas Cowboys, and I'm under the impression
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: kind of, you know, from hearing everything else, is that
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: you know, if if we didn't if we didn't get
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: over this hump, you know, go past you know, we're
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: first round, second round like we always do that, you
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: know that Mike McCarthy would be gone. So I'm not
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: at all calling for the man's job, not at all,
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, but all but all I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: saying is if Tomin was there, I would want him,
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: you know. But all right, I'll hang up and listen
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: to have a good one and happy New Year's everybody.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you. It's just when you when you
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: do the I'm not calling for anyone's job, but yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: but you are. You know, when when you start talking
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: about that, I mean yeah, I mean imagine saying that
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: to you like your spouse. I'm not saying I want
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: anyone else, but if it did, it would be it
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: would be this person. Like good luck with that. So
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: now now we don't talk about other coaches right now
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. And we got a head coach
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: he's got his team in the playoffs three years in
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a row and trying to get trying to get them
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: where they want to go, and nothing's nothing's happened yet,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: you know. I mean you can hear it in the
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: in the callers that it's like, okay, when this goes bad,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: when they shoot themselves in the foot. I get it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: And you're going off of what you see, but what
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: you have seen but still got a lot to go.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I think this is you know, there's there's five or
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: six football teams in the NFL I think that can
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: win it all. I think the Cowboys are in that group.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: They're one of the best teams. Uh, That's what I see.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: They They do have some issues though running the football,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: have issues with penalties, they have issues with things that
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: that will plague them in games, especially you know when
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: you get into the playoffs, but you also are good
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: enough to be there and have a chance to beat anyone.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: And that's something that not everybody can say. And I
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: think there's something, you know, that's something I like to
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: focus on for sure. Brian and Pennsylvania is our next caller.
• 12:23
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how are you doing today?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I'm good? What's up?
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: I just I think it's kind of funny. I've I've
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: called a few times, and I keep talking about how
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: I don't care really what happens. I only care about
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: the postseason, you know, because it's really hard to get
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: not get wishy washy, right, And the Cowboys? Is they
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: a will to play like an all star team one
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: week and the Bad Newspairers.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: The next week?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: You know, bad be the first of the movie or
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: at the end of the movie.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: Well, it depends on right.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Right, right, that's the Bad News Bears. Well, yeah, we'll see.
• 12:58
  Speaker 10: But one thing I wanted to say is I think
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: we need to find these last few games. Don't worry
• 13:05
  Speaker 10: about playoffs and playoff pictures. Just worry about what we
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: can control inside and like, how can we how can
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: we improve our run defense? How can we get those
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: three and outs and get ahead because we play better ahead?
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: You know, How can we design a running scheme that's
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: more creative like the passing scheme that we've done this year.
• 13:23
  Speaker 10: You know, it's almost like the offense is almost there,
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: but we haven't figured out how to adjust when they
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: take away what we want to do. But I also
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: think it's kind of funny when you're talking about the
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: coaches because you got you got ten wins. Yeah yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: in the playoffs with a week two weeks ago, you
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: can run the playoffs. So it's like, I get it,
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: we're all frustrated and we want a super Bowl championship.
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: But let's just let's not act like they're they're nothing.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: The problem with the Cowboys is their consistency range is
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: so wise. They can either play at this super unbeatable
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: level or this incredibly beatable level. I think we just
• 14:03
  Speaker 10: need to narrow those gaps a little bit and raise
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: that to where our quality, you know, consistently is higher.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, as far as.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: Everything else, I think after the season it is zero
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: and zero. It is a new it is a new league,
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: you know what I mean.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: In the playoffs, of course, I mean and and and
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I think what you described the Cowboys team, I bet
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you most teams are the same way. I mean, there's
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of teams that that they've you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: there's some they're good teams, but they have stretches as well,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: and the Cowboys are in one right now. And we
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: we knew this was going to be a tough stretch.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, we knew that Buffalo Miami back to back
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: was going to be tough, and you know, and then
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you put Detroit around it with Philly and Seattle. I
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: mean it's testing this team, uh for sure. So uh
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you know, I think I think, like I said, I
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: think this is a good, good football team. But most
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: good football teams don't go to the Super Bowl. So
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: they're going to have to figure out a way to
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: turn it on to be great. And and I and
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I know that's what I'm hearing from you guys, especially today,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: is that you know, you haven't seen you haven't seen
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: what it's going to take to go win, and which
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: is go beat a good road team. You know, we
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: thought we had seen that. And that's the thing about
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the NFL. I mean, when you start the season with
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: a forty to nothing win over the Giants, you think, well, man,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: they just crushed the playoff team on their own place
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: in the rain, forty to nothing. You know the Giants
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: are a good team. Well they're not. They're not. You
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: thought the Chargers beating them after the forty nine Ers
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: that was a good win, but they're not. They fired
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: their coach, so you know, it's it's been It's been
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: one of the you know, I didn't think the Bills
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: were that good, and then that now they're they're playing better,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and and and then you know, you lose to them.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: So it's just this ebbs and flows of the season.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, it happens, and you know, we'll see though,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, but it is. It is one of those
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: things where you gotta you have to focus on the
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: now because and the now does still affect the playoff picture,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: all right, Gary in New Mexico, Hey, Nick, I.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Hope you're keeping receipts on all of these callers, because
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: I am not that that means anything, but I mean,
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: this is what we get. And I used to be
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: like this and hopefully I'm getting better. But after a
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: loss or a couple of losses, everybody's ready to fire
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: the coach. The play calling is horrible. Dak Prescott's no
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: good that this is ridiculous. Yeah, Dak Prescott's a good quarterback,
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: and Mike McCarthy's a good I mean, we want to
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: fire Mike McCarthy, to hire Mike Tomlin. We want to
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: bring in Bill Belichick, who's got a dumpster fire in
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: New England. This is really what people want. I mean,
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: appreciate what you got and realize the season is not over.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: If you had a great article. You had a great
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: article on Dallas Cowboys dot com. If Hunter Lifkey doesn't
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: fumble that ball, well we probably win the game. I mean,
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: if we don't turn it over there. And that's not
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: play calling, that's player execution. You know, the play you
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: talked about was Tony Pollard. That's a great play call.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: He's just got to get in the end zone.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: You go back a week before to the Buffalo game.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: Early in that Buffalo game, I think it was a
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: second play of the game, they took a deep shot
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: for Brandon Cooks. He was wide open. They just didn't
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: execute the play. Is that on the play caller? That
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: was a great play call. We just didn't execute it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: And that's just the way the NFL is.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: And you work through.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: These kinks and you figure this stuff out in these
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: games and you get better. I looked up something yesterday
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: just out of curiosity. I went back and I looked
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: up the twenty ten Green Bay Packers that was McCarthy's
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: Super Bowl team, and I found something interesting there. When
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: I was just looking at their scheduling results, he lost
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: two consecutive road games in December, and then he finished
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: the season winning their last two games, and then they
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: went on that Super Bowl run, which by the way,
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: they were a wildcard team. They won all those games
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: on the road. So yeah, Chris, you can repeat it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: So I'm just I'm not saying they're winning the Super
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: Bowl or anything. I'm just saying the season's not over,
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: of course, and let's see what Let's see what happens.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: I feel about it. Tell me how you feel about this, and.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Then I'll get off the phone.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: I feel about the Miami game kind of like how
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: I felt coming out of the Philadelphia game. Disappointed that
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: they lost. They probably could have won, maybe they should
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: have won, But I'm encouraged by the way they played
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: and their toughness, and that the drive that Dak Prescott
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: had at the end of the game really gave me encouragement.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: I mean, right, they're good, They're good, They're close. Just
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: be patient.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, thanks for the call, Gary, And I
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: agree with with what you're saying. And and I know
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: it's tough, it's tough for fans to get there, but
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I agree with that. Now. The one difference I would
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: say about Philly is that the Philly game was the
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: first one. In Miami was the second one, and and
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: and the reason why that matters is that after the
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: first one, you're like, listen, tough game, had a chance
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: to win, play like that down the stretch here against
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: some of these other games, and will win that game,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: And that's what you're kind of waiting for, you know.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: So then okay, you did it again to Miami, and
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: then so like that, it's fine unless you finally are
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: going to get a win. You know, these games, these
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: moral victory types of games need to lead to real victories,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: and so especially on the road. And so yes, it's
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: it's it's encouraging to say you can go into Miami,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: go into Philly, play play like that, have a chance
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to win, because you get in the playoffs, you're gonna
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: have have to, you know, make that play. But you
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: also need to be able to go back to something
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: in the regular season and say kind of like that
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: game when they win and they did it and and
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: they're not the Cowboys are not going to have a
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: win like that. They're not gonna have a winning record
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: on the road, and they're not going to have a
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: signature win on the road going into the playoffs, because
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: wash Rington won't provide that for you, and so Carolina
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: didn't provide it. Chargers obviously didn't either, and neither did
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: the Giants. So if they do go into the playoffs
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: at four and five on the road, they're not going
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: to have that signature win to to lean on. But
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you know, it is, it is what it is. I mean,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: take care of business and get a little lucky your
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: way and you maybe you don't have to go on
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: the road, you know. So all right, Travis and San
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Antonio's next caller, Nick, what's going on? Hey, Travis?
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah, So, I just I haven't heard the I know
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: you were talking about this yesterday about the win percentages
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: and whatnot. What you were talking about.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I actually did it yesterday. It's not that it's not
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: that good. I mean it's not it's not a it's
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: not a good stat Honestly, I thought it was, but
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: it isn't there.
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: And I and I'm sure it's not, but I guess so,
• 20:51
  Speaker 11: like I said before, I still think like you said,
• 20:54
  Speaker 11: it's we use a we use a poker analogy all
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: the time, like it's chipping a chair. Right, If you're in.
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: If you're in, you got a shot, if you got
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: a chip left, like play that chip and you just
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: see what happens. I'm still not I mean, are we perfect.
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: There's a team perfect. No, But you never know to
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: sit here and say that we know what's gonna happen. Like,
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: you know, someone could the Rams to upset the Eagles
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: and you may go to the you know, you may
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: go to Detroit instead of going to San Fran.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: We have no idea.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: You may beat San France for all we know. You know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: I don't think San Fran last year was expecting their
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: quarterback to get hurt, you know, in that Eagles game.
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: I do think so, you know, we were There's a
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: lot of anxious people out there, and I just think,
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: you know, we just need to just once we're in,
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: we just need to see what happens. But I wanted
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: to hit a couple of things real quick and just
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: let you pick one to talk on. I watched the
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: like a lot of people, I'm sure watch the San
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: Francisco Baltimore game. I know you spoke about it yesterday.
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: I don't think any area I looked at on both
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: teams that that was that that was like, they're clearly
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: better than us in this area except linebacker. Linebacker is
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: the one area to me that stands out when you
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: watch both those teams play, that stands with the most
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: to me. And I don't think Simon Clark. I don't know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: like you said yesterday, I don't know if it's the
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: neck injury. I don't know if he's still not over that,
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: but he doesn't seem to be as physical as he
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: was in college, and he is by far our biggest linebacker.
• 22:23
  Speaker 11: I think dan Quinn's I think dan Quinn's undersized. We're
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: smarter than you, and we can make it work. Has
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: a shelf life.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: I know Belle.
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: I know Bell is Bell, and he he got forced
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: into service. I think he's gonna be like a good
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: JK replacement. But I think they definitely need a good
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: true They need an actual true thumper in the draft
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: or maybe two. The can compliment Overshown because I think
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: Overshown is gonna be kind of our Fred Warner. Not
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: saying he can't hit, but I think he's gonna be
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: more of the coverage guy. They need to find that
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: compliment and not the undersized. Well, this is our gonna
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: be our you know, our do it all guy. No,
• 22:58
  Speaker 11: we need a you need at someone's gonna set the
• 23:01
  Speaker 11: tone in the second level and help with that run defense. Sure,
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: and Pollard. Last thing and I'll let you go. Is
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: that play that everyone's been talking about in at the
• 23:10
  Speaker 11: goal line. I think that kind of defines his season.
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: And what I mean by that is if when we
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: look at it, if he if he knew he had
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: that burst nick, I think, yeah, he doesn't cut that
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: up like I think if he, if he looks at Elliott,
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: he goes, I can beat this dude to the corner
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: like no problem. He doesn't cut it up. And the
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: problem is he cuts it up. But I don't think
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: is he a tough guy. Absolutely, I'm not saying he's
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: not tough, but he doesn't have he the He lacks
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: the ass that the cad And I don't think if
• 23:40
  Speaker 11: Zeke cuts that up, I don't think anybody is saying,
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: like zekeet stopped by Elliott there. So I just want
• 23:44
  Speaker 11: to see what you thought by that. And it also
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: kind of shows like his vision hasn't been there because
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: that's that was not the play. So I just want
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: to see what you thought about that have a great
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: week and talking next week.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's one of those things where if you
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: put your foot in the ground like you're cutting it
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: up and then and then you bounce to the to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: the corner, you're right. You should you should be able
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: to win it. You should be able to win that
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: and at least get an angle to kind of dive in.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I looked at that play a couple of times, just
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: you know, and it's easier to do when it's slow motion.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: And you should have done this, should have done that.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: But yeah, your your vision and instincts and and is
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: what you want, you know, from a running back, and
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: you know you need that, you need you need power,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you need first, you need to be able to cut back,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: you need to have the vision, acceleration, all those things
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: that you need just about on every single play. And
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: he didn't have it on that one cost him that
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: that cost him the game. But but you know, he
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: got a first down, and so you're thinking first and
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: go from the one, and what's the worst that can happen? Well,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: he handed the ball to lip Key and and he
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: doesn't he doesn't get the football. He just doesn't get it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: And so uh and he didn't get it again the
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: rest of the game, and you wonder what what kind
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: of least he's going to have on that. I'm not sure.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I mean didn't he didn't get it
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: again and they were down for first and goal from
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: the one, and then they decide to, you know, run
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: that play where they'd say, who's the best pass rusher?
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: This guy, Okay, let's unblock him, and he got a
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: ten yard sack, but it actually helped him because they
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: were able to get you know, throw it in there linebacker.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I agree, we got to get we got to see that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: We're gonna have to see some some improvement at linebacker
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: next year. And you know, it's hard, it's it's hard
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: to go into all that what they're gonna do, what
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: kind of scheme, because you know, the end of the
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: year is gonna come and people are gonna look at
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: other head coaches and is dan Quinn gonna be on
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: that list? And is he gonna is he gonna take
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: another time? I don't know, I don't know what what
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: you know, who the coordinator is. I mean, I think
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: that's that you have to factor that in. And because
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: it's too early to factor that in. It's too early
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: to factor in. What are they gonna do and all
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. All right, Anthony and Columbia, South Carolina. Perfect, Anthony, Yeah, Anthony,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: how you doing, I'm doing?
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: How you doing today? Good?
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: Hey? Man? A man, I'm I'm gonna just gonna make
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: it quick. Man. I'm not trying to be, you know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: a cowboy. You know, I'm being a cowboy for probably
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: forty years. I'm a fifty nine year old man. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: from what I can see with the Dallas Cowboys, man,
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: they just don't have the personnel man to go deep
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: into playoffs this year. They're hurting at lineback. Earth, They're
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: hurting in the back. You know, you have some running back.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: We just to me, we just don't have the personnail man.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: They're going to have to They're going to have to
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: draft some guys man to fill in those spots.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Right now, I just don't see it being nobody in
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: the playoffs. Man, I think they're wanted done. And with that, man,
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: you know, that's that's all I got to say. I'll
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: just hang up and listen.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: All right. I don't agree, but I mean they they
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: need more, you know, playmakers. There's no doubt about it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think there'll be one and done. I think
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: they're going to be the best team when they when
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: they face uh, you know, when they when they play
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: whoever they play. If they're the five seed or the
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: two seed, I think they're going to be the best
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: team on the field. If they're the two seed, uh,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: you know, they they should win the game, you know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: five if you go to Tampa, you go to the
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Saints or Falcons or who knows well what happens with them.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I still think that they have
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: a chance to win that game. And then they should win. Honestly,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: they should win their first game because they're they're going
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: to be a better team in my opinion, and then
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: from there, you know, if you can get to the
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: divisional round and then who knows, I mean, if you're
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: at the one seed or the two or who knows.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just just a weird league. It's a strange.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: You know, you get the Rams that are playing good
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: football right now, and the Rams are probably going to
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: be a six or seven. You know, what do they
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: do you know? Or do they go beat somebody? So
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: who knows? I I don't I think that they You're right,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: running back, linebacker, Yeah, those are those are positions that
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: you you definitely need, you know, in the playoffs because
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: it comes down to running the ball and stop in
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the run. Those are two things that you really need
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: to do when you go up against a team like
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, your linebackers have got to play well.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Same with your running backs. And so yeah, there's some
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: there's some holes there. But can they go beat a
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: team when, you know, win a game. That's the thing
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: that that always kind of confuses me here. And we
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: got negative calls today and that's great now, But I mean,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: the kid misses the field goal, Okay, somehow Christmas miracle
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: twenty nine yarder hits the post and he misses. Are
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: they a better team now than they were because there
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: there would be eleven and four? I mean, do they
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: have the same issues Those offense never touched the football
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: again after they scored a touchdown. My point is is
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: that it's it's just it's close there. I don't think
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: we would have negative calls today had they missed a
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: field goal. It had nothing to do with them. So
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: that's that's all I'm saying. Is is that they're there.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: They're right here. You sure, sure, we'd love for them
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: to be better, but they're good enough to compete, and
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: when you compete in the playoffs, you have a chance.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say. If you guys want to
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: go and start talk raft, that's fine. We got shows
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: for that. We'll get to the draft show. We got
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: people on here that are already studying for whatever reason
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: they they are studying that. And if y'all want to
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: talk draft, you can talk draft. I'd rather talk about
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: the Lions and talk about the games they got coming
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: up here. That's me because I still think this stuff matters.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: April May June. Everyone's thirsting for football, you know, USFL XFL.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: That doesn't cut it unless you're gonna get a kicker
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: that you're gonna make in turn all pro. Yeah, then
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I'm interested, But that doesn't cut it. We wait so
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: long to get here, and now we get here and
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about the draft, not not me, not
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: on this show. So all right, Rob in Vegas, can't wait? Rob,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: what do you got?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: I love the show because I love the fans, I
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: love the callers.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: But what I'm hearing, I'm a little confused. Of course,
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: we're happy the Cowboys are going to the playoffs.
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: We're obviously big fans.
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: We call in so we listen to the show.
• 30:00
  Speaker 12: But you gotta be realistic.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: It's not that when I call in it it's not
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: that I'm saying they can't win. Of course, they do win.
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: Once you get in the tournament, you don't know what's
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: going to happen. But I penciled.
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: You know, if you told me this team is going
• 30:15
  Speaker 12: to have a top five quarterback, wide receiver, a defense
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: at one point in time, play these god awful teams
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: like the Giants in Carolina, and still we cannot beat
• 30:30
  Speaker 12: anybody on the road. We still lead the league of penalties.
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: We still can't stop the run, and we can't run.
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: So you looked to the future and you say to yourself, Okay.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: What is it going to take to win in the playoffs?
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: And it's those things. Unfortunately, you don't usually play forty
• 30:49
  Speaker 12: thirty five type games in the playoffs. They're tight, and
• 30:53
  Speaker 12: we see when this team is playing in the playoffs,
• 30:57
  Speaker 12: they get tight and they get tighter on the road.
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: So I say to myself, ah, this is going to suck.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:03
  Speaker 12: Could we beat maybe Campa Bay, yeah, probably, or maybe
• 31:07
  Speaker 12: the Saints, but you got to go to Philly. You
• 31:10
  Speaker 12: can't be confident for that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: I know we beat Philly, we match up gold, but
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: it's a different animal in Philly playoffs. You know, we
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: get penalties at the worst time. We're not stopping the
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: run anytime this year if the other team wants to
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: really run it. We just don't have the physicality. We
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: have nobody big that plays live night, so we can't.
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: The only hope is you get a lead, like we've
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: played Detroit. We have to get a lead and force
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: Jared Goff to try to beat us that. I like
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: our chances, but we cannot fix that.
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: We cannot fix the penalties. We haven't fixed it in years,
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: so you can't expect that that's going to be fixed.
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: We can't fix Tyron Smith. You know, he holds this
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: hostage every year. As great as he is when he's
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: on the field, you just don't know. So you can't
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: fix those issues. So as fans, yes, you're you're gonna
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: get I had to you just had to call it
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: that said, be patient, be patient. Thirty years with playoffs
• 32:11
  Speaker 12: is great but the playoffs is only great if you
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: keep taking another step. The beauty of the nineties was
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: you saw them, it's got a little better, got a
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: little better, and then boom we we Okay, twelve or five. Yes,
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: I like it, twelve or five, I like it. Who
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: knows this year maybe twelve five.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: But not if you keep getting knocked out in the
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: second round of playoffs, it's meaningless.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well so that's all.
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: That's all the that's all I'm saying, and that's what
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: most fans say.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 32:36
  Speaker 12: We have we got confidence, we're fans.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Doesn't sound like that. I don't hear a lot of confidence.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I don't have confidence in what though, confidence in what
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: you say? We have confidence? Because I just heard the
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: last thirty seconds you said, where's the confidence?
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: Here's the confidence?
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: What I just said.
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: If they if they put it together like last year,
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: they went to Tampa Bay played probably the best game
• 32:57
  Speaker 12: they played all year.
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: They just put it together.
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: Unfortunately the following.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: Week they did not.
• 33:03
  Speaker 12: So yes, this team has the capability to put it
• 33:07
  Speaker 12: together like what they played Philly. The problem is we
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: already did. Their track record on the road is bad,
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: and I don't see it getting any better, and they won't,
• 33:18
  Speaker 12: like you said, they won't know because beating Washington, you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: so we won't know, So that's in their minds. Dak Prescott,
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: he's not the same quarterback.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: In the playoffs.
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: He's not the same quarterback on the road. So as
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: much as I like him, it's just a fact. So
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: that he digs that. And the defense is not physical.
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: You're going to play probably physical teams. The games usually
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: get more physical in the playoffs. They haven't responded good
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: to that, so there's these doubts. But yeah, I'm happy
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: they're in the playoffs because what else would I be doing.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, watching golf.
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: So that's the thing. We're excited.
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: But you just got a little realistic.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, And I'm and I'm thanks for the call, and
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: I'm you know, for me, what this is, this is
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: my this is me being realistic. The Cowboys are clearly
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: the second second best team in the in the NFC.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: I mean they they are not the best team in
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: the NFC. I think you can make a case about
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Philly because they've beat each other and right now they're
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: about the same Dallas and Philly is about the same Dallason.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Detroit will find out. I mean, I kind of think
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys maybe are a little better, but they don't
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: have a better record, and we'll see. We're gonna get
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: to find out on Saturday night. So I think the
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: forty nine ers still are the best team in the NFC,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: and then I think Detroit, Philly and the Eagles are
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: all right there. And then after that you got teams
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: that you know, they have to just kind of figure
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: out ways to get hot at the right moment. You're
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: seeing the Rams do it. That's that's my point is
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: that I think that the Cowboys are are right there too,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: and they're but they're not where the forty nine ers
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: are and they haven't beaten the forty nine ers of
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: the last three times. So that's what's gonna be interesting
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: is if they have to go play San Francisco, where's
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: the mindset? How do they figure out and rally together
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: to do that? Realistically, it doesn't I don't see a
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: huge playoff run. I don't see them going to the
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: super Bowl. I don't see it because I've never seen it,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: not since I've been here. So I'm realistic. I don't
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: get ahead of myself But that's the thing. Go back
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: and watch all of these shows if you have time,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: and if you're that bored, because I don't ever do that.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I don't jump ahead. You guys are jumping ahead. I
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: don't do that. I think this team that's a ten,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: ten and four, ten five, they're ten and five, they're
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: ten and five. They got a really good opportunity to
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: get to eleven to five and maybe twelve and five,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: and then we'll see, we'll see what happens in the playoffs.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: But all this jumping ahead, you look stupid. You look
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: stupid when you do that kind of stuff. I mean,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: that's that's just the way it is, because you can't
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: get ahead of this league. You can only go by
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: what you see. And that's fine until they prove you wrong,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: good or bad. No one thought they were gonna lose Arizona,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: and they did. They got their ask it, you know.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's that's the thing. You get surprised
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: by stuff, enjoy the moment. That's me. I'm I'll do
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: it my way, you'll do it your way. Yes, I agree,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: some of you guys are having some confidence. Some of
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: you guys do not. But like I keep saying, our
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: confidence doesn't matter. They've got to figure out a way
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: to be confident. They got to figure it out, all right.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: They feel like a broken record here Anthony, Miami, Florida.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: Make the quick? What's up?
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: But what's up?
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: I'm good man?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: AI?
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, that last segment, Nick, I'm with you, bro.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: When we met, he heard my enthusiasm. But when I called,
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: you said I was a likening hot in the beginning,
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: because that's exactly what you're saying. I said, Well, my
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: expectations all my love them regardless, and I expect to
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: get to this point and I'm good with that. So
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: all that looking forward and all that surprised me. I'm
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: still gonna support you.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: But surprised.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: So you know, wats me on that? When we had
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: said those movies and all that, you did watch Radio right?
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, okay, that's one of my top three.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: I said, I said, Radio Rudy and remember the Titans
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: all with the R Radio love it?
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly exactly. So that's my that would be my
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: honorable mention. I love that movie.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Remembered alone.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: When Coach Jones said, when it was in Barber shopping
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: and we had to give up football radio, and he went.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: I love football.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: I love it when you're looking for a win on
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: Friday and you're.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Found one on Saturday. Yep, look, yep. That's a great line.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: That's a great scene. That's a great scene, isn't it?
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: There?
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: You go?
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Is this what you want? Frank? Is this what you want?
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: All?
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: Remember?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: The guy just yeah, exactly that being said, I love football,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: and I love what's gonna happen Saturday night when the
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Cowboys get a win, because they got to get a
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: win for my coach.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: I'm a Jimmy Johnson. Of course you were the fanatic,
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: and the count of those are my teams. So Jimmy
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: going into the ring. All I can expect for the
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: Cowboys to do. All I wish for them to do
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: is continue this home dominance and win this game. I
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: don't care what else happened during the season, whatever, because
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: we'll see. We'll open up our box and our present later,
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: but I need you to win this for this coach
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: who set a standard. You got to give it to them.
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: He set a standard just the way Coach Landry said
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: a standing in those guys at America's team back in
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: the day for those ninety players and stuff. He set
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: a standard for these guys, Nate and all these guys,
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: Troy and them and and the Trippers and all of
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: them to enjoy what they're enjoying now, you know, because
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: not everybody's bringing it every week being joining the privilege
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: of what comes with wearing that star and that helmet.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: So let's go ahead and beat Detroit. I expect them
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: to win that game and do what they gotta do.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: And I got one more thing, and it's been the
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: topic of the day. Yesterday, I finally listened to all
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: one of the six shows. I listened to every show
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: was off. I listened to all the way to the
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: Girls Talk Boys, Girls Talk Boys.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I laughed.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: I got mad at a couple of callers from calling
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: people out and telling them what they how they should
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: thing and shut up and all that, and you know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: and I learned something brought us as a gym, But
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: they is a gym.
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: Y'all.
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: Just don't know what y'all got with those two guys,
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: or you might do, but those two guys are gyms.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: What I what I see with the colding on Michael, Michael,
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: go ahead and voice your opinion. I'm not gonna I
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: don't follow them all the social media stuff, so I
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: don't know everything he said. The voice it I mean, I'll.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Say this much.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're holding you, they're holding me. But your effort
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: could be better on some things. But they're holding they're
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: they're they're egregiously. But in my opinion, in fifty four
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: years of living and I guess forty eight of them
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: watching football, I've never seen the calls and the referees
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: beat us bad. I don't know what's to that I'm
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: talking about in all games across the board. So maybe
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: they need to look into.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: That little bit is getting held a lot.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: I think it's getting held a lot. Yeah, I think
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: it could put do some of it. But I think
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: you know that you want him.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: To keep talking. I mean, these are human they hear.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: I want to avoid it, but you know, not do it.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: You know, yeah, be constantly doing it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: But he is. That's the problem. He's constantly doing it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: And you know what, he's one of the best pass
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: rushers in the league. If he's not the best and
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: he's not getting a call in ten games, there's no
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: way that that happens. There's no way that the best
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: route runner in all of all of the NFL is
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: not getting held and not getting a PI called one
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: time in ten games. That that's just not the way
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: they call it. That's the thing. The way they call this.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's no way go back to the Buffalo
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: game and and and thanks for a call, Anthony, I
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: appreciate you. You Yeah, good good stuff as always good positive,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: you know, and and that's you know, you're you did
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: start the pot way way back. And when you said, hey,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: I don't need a super Bowl and all that kind
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: of stuff, which which you're living in the moment. I
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: get that and that and that's that's where I think
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: that's a healthy attitude to have. But what I was
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: saying about Buffalo is that you'll go back to that game.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: That was a critical moment in the first drive where
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: they got a first down there inside the thirty and
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: they called a penalty very late on Tyler Smith for
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: a hold, and you watch that and you're like, I guess,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: But then when you see the way that Mike, there's
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: no way that that's not happening. So that's the thing
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: they call it differently on the outside, I think they
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: give the out I think they give offensive tackles way
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: more freedom to hold than they do kind of on
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: the inside guys, which I don't know if that should
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: be the case, but that definitely seems that way. All right,
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Esteban and Austin, Texas is our next caller. What's up?
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: Not much?
• 41:48
  Speaker 13: I just I don't get a lot of chance to
• 41:51
  Speaker 13: call in.
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: But again, I just love the show, appreciate it.
• 41:56
  Speaker 13: I know one thing I really like about your show.
• 41:59
  Speaker 13: It seems like you're just as upset as US fans
• 42:04
  Speaker 13: after a loss. It seems to kind of I.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Don't know, I just don't know about it upset. I
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: don't know if it's upset, it's you know, but it's
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: it's a it's I don't even know. Yeah, I mean disappointed.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: I mean you have chances, but like I, like I've
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: said before, had they won that game, they would have
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: stolen it from the Dolphins. I thought the Dolphins were better.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: So the fact that they kicked the field going one
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: and two seconds ago, yeah, that sucks. It probably didn't
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: make your your Christmas dinner and taste very good. But
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: you know, after the after the they scored up for
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: the half, I thought they were gonna lose by twenty
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: one points. I one hundred percent thought they were about
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: to get blown out after they gave up that touchdown,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: and so I was a little surprised that they hung
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: in there the way they did.
• 42:44
  Speaker 13: Honestly, no, I agree, and I think that going forward,
• 42:50
  Speaker 13: I see McCarthy adjusting the Bills loss was just terrible.
• 42:56
  Speaker 13: I don't think there was anything good that came out
• 42:59
  Speaker 13: of that, but him taking the team going into Miami
• 43:02
  Speaker 13: and making adjustments, getting the game, like you said, taking
• 43:06
  Speaker 13: it away from the Dolphins. I think there's a lot
• 43:09
  Speaker 13: of positive I kind of have some hope going into
• 43:13
  Speaker 13: the playoffs in the next few weeks. But I think
• 43:18
  Speaker 13: I think things will turn around for them in the
• 43:20
  Speaker 13: next couple of weeks.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Right, all right, Well, appreciate it, thanks for the thanks
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: for the call. We've got a few more minutes here.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: We've got a couple of transactions that just happened, just
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: kind of came through the wire. The Cowboys, needing linebacker help,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: released veteran Rashawn Evans, so I don't know, and they've
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: activated Matt Willasco to the fifty three man roster, so
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: he's ready to come back and we'll see, we'll see
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: what if he can stay healthy. And I don't know
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: what that means anything for Tyron Smith or what probably
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: just for more backup help, maybe as a swing to
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: of course, you know he's a young player's never played.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: But Sean Evans uh that you know that experiment, that's
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: that's kind of the point about would you take a linebacker.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Getting these linebackers on the street, I mean, there's a
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: reason why they're there, so uh and and they're probably
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: going to go back there. So anyways, all right, Reggie
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Germany is our next caller. Reggie in Germany. What's up?
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's up? What's up? Merry Christmas? You too, Nick? Listen.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: I gotta tell you that I agree with you one
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: hundred bro. You know, I don't know what's what's going
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: on with the with the conversation today, but you know,
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: coming off and saying like the Cowboys is gonna be
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: one and done, and you know, then then you don't
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: need to you don't need the follow the team after
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: the first round, you know.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but here's the thing, like I I understand,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: like I say this a thousand times, Like my opinion is,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: that's just my opinion, just like it's it's y'all's opinion.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Whoever says they're gonna be one and done. They're being
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: optimistic and realistic about what they believe and and also
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: it's a defense mechanism too, because you're like, they're not
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: gonna let me down again, you know, like I I,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: and I understand a lot of people that think that way.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get my hopes up because I've seen
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: this movie too many times, so I get it. I
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: understand why people say a certain thing. And that's kind
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: of my point is I can think a certain way.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: I thought they were gonna lose by twenty one. They didn't.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: My opinion didn't didn't matter at that point, you know,
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: it's it's so it's all about them. That's kind of
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: what we're saying. We can we're sitting here just talking
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: about stuff. Karthy's got to figure out a way to
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: get that team focus.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Sorry, though, Reggie, that's right, go ahead, exactly right with
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: you on that mature on that nick. You know, look,
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: we don't. You don't always agree with what I have
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: to say, you know, and I'm with you on that too.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't I don't call you here you
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: agree with me. I call you to ask your opinion
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: that you know that tell me what your opinion is
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: on that, and whatever it is, I'm gonna go with it,
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: even if I'm not happy with it. You know, i't
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: have to agree with it. That's just sure. You know
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: it's your opinion. Because like what I was talking about
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: doing the game face thing, you know, I'm still I'm
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: just still a three. I still be there. You know,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: I played ball all my life, and you know, I
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: know when I played a team that was like cross
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: times rival and they've been kicking I ask for the
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: last three full seasons, five seasons, ten seasons. You know
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: we should. We're convinced that we're committed to not letting
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: that go on a year further. And we take the
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: field and I have a bed, we got a game base.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: We are you know, fair to play you ball.
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: Let me ask you.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. Though you're talking about getting
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: on the field and you had a game face. Who
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: saw it? Your teammates? Yes, who else? Who else? The opponent?
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: It doesn't I'm not doing it for fans but.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: That But my point is this goes back to my point.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: Game face, if that even matters. You see it in
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: your eyes, You see it in the guys in the huddle,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: You see the guys across from you. Do they have it?
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Do they not? The guys in the stands don't see it.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: The guys on on TV don't see it, and no offense.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: But the guys in a different country don't see it either.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: So that's my point, right.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: But so who are who are you and me to
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: talk about someone's game face? When Fox doesn't show a
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: guy's face more than four or five times a game,
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: how do we know what game face is? The opponents
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: might That's that's all I'm saying. That's why I think
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: it's weird for us to talk about game face and
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: leadership and and heart and things that you can't prove,
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: especially from miles away. That's all I'm saying.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, but stick with it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: That's your thing. That's your thing. And someone else called
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: about dak in his eyes too. I mean, I just
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: I don't see that. I really don't. I don't. I
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: don't see game face. Eli Manning? Is my excuse there?
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Eli Manning? What was his game face? This guy's going
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: to Canton and he'll he'll he'll have a weird game
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: face when he goes there.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well has life in the weird face?
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: You know, I got one. But then again, you know,
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not really trying to trying to, you know, make plays.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: All right, Reggie, you got anything else? We gotta get rolling.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: We got one more.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: Call that I just want to thank you. Agree with
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: you on that.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the call. All right, yelling Northport floor is
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: our last one? Good? How are you?
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: I'm good good.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Haven't been able to listen today, so I don't know
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: what the attitude has been like to the callers.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: But go back, go back and listen. It's been It's
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: been fun. I mean, but let me say this before
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: you get to your point. I just want to say
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: that I don't have the answers either. This is not
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: what the show is not to be like. Throw at
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: your opinion and I'm gonna tell you right or wrong.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna be right right or wrong in your thoughts.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: That's just the way it is. I think what I
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: think a big part is is I think a lot
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: of fans go that they always say, am I the
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: only one that thinks this? Or does anyone else think this?
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: And That's what this show is. Is here to provide
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: other perspectives. Oh you're in Florida, this guy's in Germany.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Y'all think the same or not the same. That's what
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: the show is. And I'm just here to kind of
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: facilitate it and say, you give my thoughts, but you
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: were all on the same boat. I'm not the voice
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: of reason here. I'm just throwing stuff out what I think.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: So all right, sorry, Dylan, go ahead.
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: You're good.
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: You're good.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I just want to shed, hopefully some positivity. It doesn't
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: sound like it's been a lot of positive. Not really,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: there's not really where the same team as a word,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: a week ago, two weeks ago, when we were killing
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: it with the same team, I mean, nothing has changed.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: The loss against the Dolphins hasn't changed anything. We needed
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: the Eagles to lose before. We need the Eagles to lose.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Now we know what this team is. We need a
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: left tackle. Okay, with a left tackle in that game
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: we win against the Dolphins. I'm pretty sure. That pretty confident.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: And you look at some positives from that game that
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: came through in the clutch, right, he delivered when it
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: mattered most. You can say what you want about him,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: you know, playing missing some stuff during the game, whatever,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: but he came through in the clutch defense, held one
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league to five field goals.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a win. So I'm not going to
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: complain about that. They couldn't get it done when it
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: mattered most, So you know, that sucks, but there's some
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: positive you can take away from that game. There's no
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: need to ditch the whole season, want to fire coach,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: want to replace Stack, all this silliness that you know
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing kind of on Twitter and sometimes you know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: on the show and stuff. So everybody's calm down the season.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: We're about to get into the real season here in
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. We'll never go this week right now,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: this week we'll know, we'll know who the Cowboys really
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: are when they play the lines, because thats who they're
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: going to be playing in the playoffs again, and guarantee.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: It right now. I agree. I agree one hundred percent.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: I thought that that you're right, we're about to get
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: get this thing started. We really are. I mean, the
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: season's almost over regular season wise, but you play these
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: games to get yourself in position. Sure, you'd like to
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: have a better position than where they are. You know,
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: you got to get lucky, and I don't think the
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Cowboys have been extremely lucky. You know, this this team
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: was supposed to rely on defense, and they've had two
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: really key injuries on defense this year that that has
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: you know, it has hurt them, one of them at linebacker,
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: of course, one of them at cornerback as well. But
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: everybody's dealing with it. You gotta fight through it. You
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: gotta fight through you gotta have the right you know, backups,
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: you know, at these at these positions of need. And
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: so that's what the Cowboys are still doing, still making
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: roster moves, still trying to figure this out. But yeah,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: we're still we're just getting started here. Honestly, we're just
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: getting started. It's about to get really fun. Uh, it's
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: gonna be a playoff type atmosphere. I think Saturday Night
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: against the Lions, and this is a team that they
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: have to go beat. They I think they can prove
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: something to themselves. They gotta they gotta get off the mat.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: They're down two straight losses, but it's still there. I
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: really believe they're gonna be sitting in Washington in a
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks with one eye watching this game, one
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: eye watching this game. You gotta take care of business here.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: But I I firmly believe that the Cowboys will beat
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: the Lions. They'll be playing in Washington trying to win
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: that game, and we're wearing Giant blue as well, hoping
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: that that the Giants can maybe pull off a stunner.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: If that happens, that changes a lot of things about
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: your playoff picture. But you can only control that. You
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: gotta beat the Lions first, and we'll talk about that
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: and a lot more tomorrow when we come back. So
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We'll see you tomorrow
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: on Cowboys storyline.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Seeing This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
