• 0:52
  Speaker 4: about what the Cowboys were able to do last Sunday

  Speaker 4: in Cleveland. We're going to move forward, obviously and talk

  Speaker 4: two ninety seven is the number two call say ten am,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: that's Central time.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: And we're here every day and we're just like, just
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: like the Cowboys were against the Browns, there was an
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: it was an all day thing. We're still talking about that.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about the games moving forward from a Monday
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: night game. Uh, the forty nine ers had against the Jets.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: That was interesting to see. So Christian McCaffrey out. They
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: still just plugging along though, So we'll try to keep
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: it focused though on the Saints ahead. But yet we
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: do like to look at the rest of the NFC,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: the rest of the NFL, especially when you're talking about
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: some of the top teams. So all right, eight A A, eight,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: five five to two nine seven is the number two call,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: and we'll just get this thing rolling right off the jump.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Here Pete is in Connecticut. Your first off was that Pete.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how's going?
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Good? How are you?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Second day in a row. I'm trying to represent Connecticut.
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: Here you go there.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I just want to say, go Cowboys, down with the Eagles.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And I was just wondering what you think will be
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the tougher battle this week against New Orleans Saints. Do
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: you think our offense will be able to put up
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of numbers or do you think our defense
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: will have a lot of sacks interceptions?
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: This game?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you so much, Let's go Cowboys.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Thank you all right, Pete appreciate that quick and easy
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: getting it started. I think that on both sides of
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: the ball. Well, I think that the tougher thing for
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: the for the Cowboys will probably be the defense going
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: up against the Saints offense. I would I would imagine
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: that's going to be a tougher test than what they
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: had before. With last week with Cleveland, they just didn't
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: seem ready to go at all. Deshaun Watson looked very rusty.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: The running game wasn't wasn't there. Now, give cowboys credit.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, you got to give the Cowboys credit for
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: some of that, but I expect the quarterback to be
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: more accurate. He was accurate in the game against Carolina.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Uh So they're gonna face a defense much tougher than
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: they faced last week and against the Panthers, and the
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Cowboys are probably gonna face a tougher offense than they
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: had before. So you know, something's got to give. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: don't think that either either game will be as dominated
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: as it was, but you know, expect expect the Saints
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to you know that they're Here's the difference though, with
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: going up against Derrek Carr and what he had with Watson,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: the Car is gonna be a lot more accurate. Who
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: couldn't be I mean seriously, Uh, he's gonna be more
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: accurate than Watson. But if he gets hit that many times,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: he's not gonna shed that many sacks like Watson did.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I mean he should have been sacked ten eleven times. Uh,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Carr won't won't do that. Like, he'll probably get the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: ball out quicker. I think they they don't go down
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the field as much. They like to keep it short.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Now they do have somemakers that can get down the
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: field if they need to. But I think you're just
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: going to see a different type of offense. But that would
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: be the biggest change there. I think the Saints defense,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: it looks looks pretty good, but again it's it's too
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: early to tell on how things are going to be.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I've always said this, I go back the last ten
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: to fifteen years. I think Week two is always one
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: of the most important games of the season. Every time
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: you ask me when the schedule comes out, which game
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: are you looking at? I always say week two. Week
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: two is so important to me because you're trying to
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: set the tone for what your season is going to be.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: If you get a big win, don't be don't don't
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: go back and backtrack and lose. And that's how you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: get in that eight and eight status by going one
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: and oh one and one two and build on that
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: stack wins together. So important to be able to do
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: that and establish yourself as one of those teams. If
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: you lose week one, you've got to You've got to win.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: You've got to win them. So I always think that
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Week two is so important, and not just for the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Cowboys but for all teams. So the Saints are trying
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: to show themselves Cowboys as well. All right, let's go
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: to Michael in Colton, California, your next Michael.
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: Let's go, hey, Nick, I have a question for you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: How about them Cowboy? Let's go hey Nick. Look, man,
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: I've been a Cowboys fan man as far as I
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: can remember. You know, I'm not gonna say my whole life,
• 5:17
  Speaker 9: because of course, you know when I was a baby.
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: But anyways, get to the point I've man, I've I've
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: watched this team through so much stuff and and I'll
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: tell you what, man, I have never seen this defense
• 5:29
  Speaker 9: looking like Sol Sol sound in their defense. Uh, the
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: focus was amazing. I just also want to highlight. Our
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: our young stars are these young up and coming stars
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: we have over shown was Man that dude was he
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: was bad. And then Marshaw Kneeling Man, he he he
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: had a great game too, And that's just awesome, you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: to to have that right there in place for our future.
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: And I just want to give a shout out to
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: the coaching staff, Mike Zimmer, you know, also mich McCarthy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: I think they did great.
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And also, like you said, I I am looking
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: forward to to this Week two matchup against Derek Carr.
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: But but I'm not too worried about it. At the
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: end of the day. Derek Carr is Derek Carr. He's
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: gonna do Derek Carr type of things, you know what
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: I mean. But I just want to send a huge
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: shout out to the whole Cowboys Nation, the team and
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: everybody else. And I'm gonna go ahead and leave it
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: at tech id bless you all. Have a great day.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: Nick.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you all right. Well, a lot of positivity. That's
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: that's what I was talking about when when we started
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: the show. There's just uh uh, that's what happens when
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: you get a big victory like that, and that's in
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: what's what's not to like? I mean, you should be
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: excited about what you saw on the defense. I mean
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of speed, a lot of speed from the
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: linebacker position. That's something we just haven't seen. But not
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: only speed, but then also I mean because you can
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: get speed at linebacker, you can play Marquises Spell there
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: like they did last year. I mean, but it's the
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: combination of speed and power that's what Overshowing brings. That's
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: what what you know Eric Kendricks brought. You know, middle linebackers,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: you know they don't you don't have to worry about
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: what their forty time is. I mean, the best middle linebackers,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: uh are are the ones that that can see, react
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: and get there. And I'll never forget it was a
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: video tape. I might have mentioned this before, but it
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: always stood out to me. It was a video tape
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I have and I was a kid. It was called
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: like there was an NFL Films video called Crunch Course,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: and it was talking about big hitters and guys that
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: that that were mean and you know, good defensive guys
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: and and I remember somebody saying about the linebacker Dick
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Bukis that if he had to do a forty. It
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: would take him three days, but he could get sidelined
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to sideline faster than anybody on the field. And that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: what a good instinctive linebacker is. Kendricks get up there
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: and fill the hole us overshown chasing down the quarterback
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: on the sideline. That's what linebackers see it go and
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: and run to the ball, hit it, make the play.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So it's not just about speed, but it's about just
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the awareness that makes you faster. So but that's that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: something that that is very exciting to see. And I
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: know that Michael just mentioned that about Derek Carr doing
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Derek Carr things, you know, I mean, most teams are
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: gonna say that about the other quarterback. I guarantee there's
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: people that will say that about Dak Well, Dak will
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: do Dak things or whatever that is. Whatever that is,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: just just know that it's going to be better. They're
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: gonna have a tougher challenge this week, I believe than
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: they did last week. I mean, Deshaun Watson just was
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: not accurate at all, and he threw a lot of
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: passes that the cheerleaders could have caught. I mean, they
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: were just on the sideline that it just they just
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: weren't good plays, weren't good football plays. They looked out
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: of sync, and so you can definitely tell that it
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: was a difference in the way he has played in
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: the past and what he played in that game. Give again,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: give the Cowboys credit for making him look that bad.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: All right, Randy, and Texarkana is next? Randy, what's up?
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: What's happening to my brother? Nick?
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: I'm doing great. So I'm seeing something that's starting to
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: happen again this year already in the first League that
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: we talked about a lot last year, and that's the
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: passing game overwhelming our running game and needing to even
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: it out. And my question to you is, we have
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: a three headed monster offensive coaching system with Mike and Schottenheimer.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: They have both always especially Shodenheimer because his title is
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: passing game coordinator. The two of them lean heavy passing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: And then you've got Blasgow that's the running back coach.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Do you think that his voice is not being heard?
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know it's being heard, but I mean
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: with two guys versus one, do you think that maybe
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: that's where a lot of the overwhelming passing game starts
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: to get in the way, and maybe Blasgow might want
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: to speak up and maybe get some more runs in there,
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: because boy, after watching what the Lions did to the
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: Rams at the end of the game, we could get
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: a little bit of that, just a flavor of that. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean, Like, I know, I know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: different teams do different things, and we don't have the
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: personnel that they have to match that, but boy, wouldn't
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: hurt to try.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's yeah. I mean, I think it's it's early.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Thank you for the call, Randy and and and that's
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: that's good thinking there on on how they're they're doing
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: that with one game down. It's so it's so early
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: to say. I feel like this is the deja vous
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: from last year when the Cowboys had that game against
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: the Giants and even in Week two against the Jets,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: where the question was like, what what's wrong with the team,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: what's wrong with the running game? I mean, they they're
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: kicking too many field goals, and I just think you
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: get to a point where you just you just managed
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: the game, like like you can tell it's almost like
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: a like a boxing match, you know, where the fighter
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: goes out and he's he's dominated the first six seven
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: rounds here, he's won them all, and he's got them staggered,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: and he's got this thing. Just don't do anything stupid
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: and get caught and take a shot, and then they
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: could be over. That's the only way you're gonna lose.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: And so once that gets established, it changes everything. Remember now,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the Browns they played five quarterbacks last year and they
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: were eleven and six. They were a good football team,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: and their offense had no consistency at all. So what
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: was good obviously their defense. And you get to a
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: point where you get a conservative Cowboys switch to conservative offense.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: They're in the second half, Why do anything crazy? This
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: game is over, This game is over. The Browns can't
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: do anything. And so once that happens and you combine
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: those two together, I think that's what it's going to
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: look like. Yeah, you would like them to blow them
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: off the ball and run better and all that kind
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: of stuff, but that's not really the way the Cowboys
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: are built right this second to be that way. Now,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I'll say this though, when it was time to go
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: score with it, you had first and goal of the three.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: That's what I wanted to see could they run the
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: ball in? They did with one play, they ran it in.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: So when it's time to run, can can they do that?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: It's been one game, it was. It's a tough one
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: to tell. So I don't I don't really know about
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: who's doing what, who calls the plays, and I mean,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: I know McCarthy calls the plays, but as far as
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: having the running backs coach speak up and all that,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: you know, Mike McCarthy has been there with Green Bay
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: for for years and he you know, he had Brett
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Favre and he had Aaron Rodgers. They he throws the ball.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's his offense. He throws the football around.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: And if you if you have a good connection with
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: your receivers, your tight ends, your backs, with your quarterback,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: you can throw the football and still be somewhat conservative,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: still be ball control if you can can be on
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the same page, and and and so I like the
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: way that the first game is let's see before it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: you know, let's see, let's before we call it a
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: trend of them not running, Let's see what happened. They
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: they knew about halftime, they were winning that football game.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: So that's how they managed the second half. I had
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: no problems with it. Let's see what happens when you
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: really get into games where you really have to run
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: the football. It's imperative to run. Let's see if they
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: can do it or not. All right, I'm gonna go
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: to a text message question. That's another thing we do
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: on this show. We get text messages on the text line.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: This is Zach in Atlanta. I said, you mentioned that,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: but because you cover the team, you haven't been able
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: to watch a Cowboys game on TV with your kids.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: If you could choose one game to watch with your
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: kids from the past twenty five years, which one would
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: it be? Wow, that's making me think here, Zach, I
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: wasn't prepared for that one. Oh man, Well, it wouldn't
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: be one of the ones that would make them cry.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't be that It would be a fun game. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: you know, I think I'm just randomly throwing one out. Pittsburgh.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh in twenty sixteen, What a fun game. That was
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: a lot of big plays in the game. Early on,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Zeke with a long touchdown and then Dez caught a
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: long touchdown pass and then looked like they were gonna win,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: and they scored, but then the Steelers came back, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: then they scored, and then the Cowboys had chances, they
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: had a chance to come back, and Zeke goes and
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I mean it was just like a you know, tennis match,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: really is what it was watching if you're at center
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: court there. That was a fun game, hard fought game,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: and just a lot of playmakers making plays. That's one
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: that you know that, I mean, what would what's not
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: to like about a game like that other than your
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: heart rate going up and stuff like that. But as
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: a kid, it'd be cool to explain the game and
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and do all that, But it's you know, that's that's
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: just something that's a I mean, no one's feeling sorry
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: for me on that. I haven't missed the game since
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: two thousand and I'm pretty proud of that, and and
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: and I love it. But but yeah, there is a
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: sacrifice there. But you know what, they still watch the
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: game though their mom has the game on for them.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: They still get to watch the football game, so that
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: that's a good thing as well. All right, let's go
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: to Eric in North Carolina.
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: What's going on. I'm a.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So I also locked her out about I'm currently in Florida.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: All Right, I'm a great guy. I'm a great guy.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be real quick nick, first of all, but I
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: hope to go well immortalizing everything, no doubt. I am
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: just have a quick question. I'm just I'm gonna talk
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: about the defense real quick. The defense looks faster and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: looks more Third, I like the way he's disguised in
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the coverage, and she's show us some things to do
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: other things, and I and I and I read a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: couple of articles where that kind of struggled with that,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and it's always to me if I would getting back
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to the hill and to snap recognizing what's being played,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: you know, to those disguised coverages are making the right read.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Do you think that's gonna translate it even better quarterback?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And from that, for the fact he has to play
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: against the deepings in the day and the struggles that
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: they pick up poles on offense, do you do think
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: that they back a better quarterback than at all or
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: if you know it's nothing to really look at that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: That's pretty much my question because I really feel like this.
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: Is gonna make back even better.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Plenty off depense every day and I'm gonna get out
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: you guys with cobalist life.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: All right, thank you. Eric said he was from Florida,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: sounded a lot farther away than that. Had a hard
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: time with answering hearing some of that question. I know
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: it is about Dak pre snap processing. Uh, is that
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: one thing that will make him a better quarterback? I
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: mean that that's yes, I mean that's that's what you
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: have to do. I mean you get a little bit older.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I mean there's there's different levels to your progression. You know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: can you can you throw the ball when you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: coming out of college and you can make all the
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: throws great, But if you're not, you had to develop
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: that kind of stuff and I think reading defenses, reading coverages,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: seeing you know, trusting yourself and what kind of throws
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: worked for you. That's always a process.
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: I mean that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I mean even even Romo said it ten ten years
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: into his career, he was still learning how to do
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: certain things and and got to a point where he could,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: you know, where he understood how to how to make
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: certain throws. So that that process of what will never
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: change that that you know, evolving as a quarterback as
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: a player is something they all need to do. And
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I get it. You can easily say, wait, wait time out.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: We're paying this guy sixty million a year. There should
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: be no more evolving, There should be no more you know,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: in anything, there should be nothing else that you should
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: be the perfect player. But that's just not reality. That's
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: not what it is. Remember, these contracts are paying players
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: for what you expect to happen and what you are
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: going to get, not for what you've done. And so
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: that's what the Remember that that's what the Cowboys are
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: paying for. They're paying for a player of what they
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: what they expect to happen here for the next uh,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: for this year and four more, and the money says
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: they expect them to be an elite quarterback. And I
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: think that there are some things Dak still needs to
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: work on, of course, but they at the end of
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: the day, do they feel like he's the guy that
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: can get them where they want to go? And they
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: certainly believe that. All right, let's go to al he's
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: in Merkele, Texas.
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: Hey think, how's it going good?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: What's up out?
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: Hey? I'm just glad they got Dak signed because I
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: was just so nervous that we were going to go
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: through those years of signing baseball players and wan reason
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: has been so I'm just glad, you know, I think
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: back at the moment gives us the best opportunity to
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: get where we need to go, like you just said.
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: And then the other thing, I just got some quick
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: little altivations I've made. I think in the first series,
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: I think I saw that getting hit harder than he's
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: been hitting a while. And if you look, it was
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: Zach Martin's guy that came up right in the middle
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: of nailed him in the face last year. And then
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: the second one was it's kind of funny if you'll
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: go back and look at it. When Turpin scored on
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: that hint of return, he points to the guy to
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: get the kicker, and both twenty four and forty two
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: both with on him on the kicker. But the kicker,
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: I guess he was frozen in and thought he was
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: gonna get nailed. He didn't even move, But both twenty
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: four and forty two whif thought him And I don't
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: think it was funny because Turpin saw two four or
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: four to two or four to two and two four,
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: you know, go right in front of him and miss
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: those Uh that block.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what two and four added up to,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: and that's what he got, and that's what he got.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: That's what he got, you know. And I give credit
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: give credit to Turpin on that play because the way
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: he kind of I love the way he kind of
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: set it up just with the fake to go back
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: inside and then score. You know, that's kind of been
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: an issue with him just finishing those plays and getting
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: close to the touchdown. I thought he did a great
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: job of kind of setting that play up. And it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: tough for those guys to know exactly where to block
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: and who, you know, especially in the open field of
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: what Turpin's doing behind him, but he he had those
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: quick moves and got in there. It was it was
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: really good to see him get get a touchdown.
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: Hey, I'm glad you all are back. I'm glad the
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: season started and I'm looking forward to hearing your insight
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: and some of the people that call in and just
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: just very excited. It's a good time of the year.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thank you for calling. I appreciate that. Uh
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: And and he mentioned earlier about Zach Martin, you know
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: that that play, Yeah, it was it was a little
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: surprising that it was Zach that that gave that up
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: a little longer than you you would usually want to
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: block there. I mean, I think Dak was staying in
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: the pocket for a little bit, but with Zach Martin,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: you kind of expect that he could block, you know,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: for for six days in a row if you needed to.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, and Tomlinson kind of got got free
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: and delivered a huge hit on Deck, but he was
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: able to get up. And that was about the only
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: negative thing that really happened for the offense in in
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: that first half. All Right, we're gonna take a break

  Speaker 4: we got the text messages rolling in as well. Let's
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: start us off with Curtis in Oklahoma. Curtis is next, Yeah, sir,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Curtis Man, I just can.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: You hear me?
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 22:27
  Speaker 12: I just am super excited to have Eric Kendricks that
• 22:31
  Speaker 12: due the Beast, and I think I heard that he
• 22:34
  Speaker 12: was like was almost a forty nine er and that
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: just kind of makes me nauseous. So he looks so
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: much better with the.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Star on his helmet, Yeah, for sure. And uh he
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: you know, he would have fit in with that defense,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: the way that they run around and make plays, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: how scary would that have been with Fred Warner and Kendricks,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: you know, they're in the middle, but he he plays
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: with the type of football that that we've seen the
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Cowboys go up against, especially with the forty nine ers,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: So I could see where that would be an issue.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, there would be a scenario that he would
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: want to go to. But you know, reuniting with with
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Mike Zimmer, he's not making a lot of money either.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: I think it's like three million or something per year,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: but a chance to kind of prove himself. And you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I really love every time I've got a chance to
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: talk to him or listen to him, just he just
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: seems like he's just so level headed. Yeah, he understands,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: you know, what he's trying to do, understands the defense
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: really well, and you know, he's kind of the new guy,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: but he's also the old guy that knows the defense,
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: and so he's the leader on one hand, but he
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: doesn't come in and try to overtake the locker room.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: He still kind of understands and that that's always a
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: little different. It's a little unique for a veteran like
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: that that comes in a lot of players that have
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: been here are asking him questions because he knows this defense.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: But in terms of the being the captain or being
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: a leader and leading the locker room, you also kind
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: of understand your role and your place and knowing that
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: there are guys like Micah and Tank and Jordan Lewis
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: that have been here for a long time, then Trayvon
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Diggs and those guys like that. So I love the
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: way he has that balance and so far, so good.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: First game was amazing for Eric Kendricks for sure. All Right,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: let's go to next caller is Maurice. He's in Tacoma, Washington. Maurice,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Nick, how are you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: I'm doing great, but he especially great after the victory. Yeah,
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: So my call is about this the contract with Dak.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: I'm so happy we were able to get that sealed
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: up and done with. And I kind of feel like
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Jerry is such a massive mind. They already had this
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: thing in order bar before the weekend started, and I
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: feel like he threw that in there an hour before
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: the game to use him in like a gageman shit
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: type of way to play with Watson's head. I think
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: it worked to perfection. Wondering what you thought about that.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Do you think that maybe that was a little bit
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: of gamesmanship on the part of Jerry Joes, I hang
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: up a listen, take aim a call, all right.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Maurice. Excellent thought. I don't agree with it
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: at all. I really don't. I don't think that getting
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: into Deshaun Watson's head has any factor in that contract.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I think they wanted to get the deal done and
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: they almost got it down Saturday night, it didn't really
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: and then it carried over into Sunday. Dak made it
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: very clear he wanted to get the contract done before
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: the season started, and if it was going to get
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: done at all, let's get it done there. And I
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: really don't think it had anything to do with Deshaun
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Watson and getting in his head and all that that
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: that that wouldn't seem to be even a factor there.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: When you get paid, you get paid. You you understand.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: These quarterbacks understand. I mean Dak said it. I mean
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: he's not going to be the highest paid quarterback for
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: two I mean he'll he'll be. Everyone just keeps jumping
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: each other. That's that's the way that it works. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: so you know these quarterbacks they kind of stick together
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: because they understand that you get paid like that, then
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: the next guy's coming in, the next guy's coming in.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of people in the league. I mean
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: most people don't believe Dak Prescott is the best quarterback
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. I mean most people do not believe that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: So we all know this that that the next contract
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: will be higher than that when it's when it's time.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: I mean Dak hasn't hasn't gone to the NFC championship game.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: It's been well documented. He hasn't gone to the Super Bowl.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Of course, So the players that have that are making less.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, they got their hand up. You know, I
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: don't know if are they in the back like just
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: saying hello, or are they say what you know, wham
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: what about me? Either way that's going to happen Deshaun
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: got his. That probably helped Dak get his. I don't
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: think I had anything to do with let's do it
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: right now and that really mess him up. Uh he
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: had a lot of problems, He had a lot of
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: problems in the game. I don't think he had anything
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: to do with that, So don't I don't always disagree.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: I mean that's I mean, that's your your opinion and
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: if you if you're going to stick by that's fine.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I don't. I think that was a little too deeper
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: than that. I don't think it had anything to do
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: with Deshaun Watson or that they just wanted to get
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: the deal done and the season was was almost started.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: They want to get done, all right. Next caller is
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Rick in Massachusetts.
• 27:25
  Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: What's going on now?
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Just working?
• 27:31
  Speaker 13: Got quest for it?
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: I know when Doron Blank comes back and you have
• 27:36
  Speaker 13: Kaylyn Carson playing well and Jordan Lewis and uh ty
• 27:40
  Speaker 13: who sits on the bench, it's going to be Kayln
• 27:42
  Speaker 13: Carson to take back over Deron blasting or do you
• 27:46
  Speaker 13: think you will sit Jordan Lewis. I think they would
• 27:49
  Speaker 13: be Kaylyn Carson. But what's your feelings? And uh, let's
• 27:54
  Speaker 13: you know, get off and thank you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: All right, what a good problem to have. Thanks a call, Rick,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: good good problem to have. I knew it was gonna
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: happen too, you know at some point when you're like,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: what happens now?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I The good thing is this is not quarterback okay,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: where it's like you play one. This is corner you
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: can play. You can have that. You can have a
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: lot of different packages out there. They're they're they're going
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: to play. I think with the injury that you had
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: with Deron Bland, I mean Jerry Jones was asked that
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday on his radio show. He was asked that
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: question about what happens when you know, when when does
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Bland come back and all that, and he didn't give
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: it a definitive answer because it's just going to depend
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: on his rehab. But he also said, you know, we'll
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: see how Kalen Carson is playing. I don't think what
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: he meant was if Carson's playing well, Bland doesn't get
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: a job back. He says, I think it'll it'll depend
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: on when he comes back. And you know they're not
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: going to rush him back, but he'll come back when
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: he's ready. But you know, it might be a situation
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: where like one more week would be better. Carson's playing, Well,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: let's do that. Maybe the bye week is involved there.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: But I think that with four corners, they all can
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: can play. They can they can have packages where they're
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: out there doing some good things. I would imagine Bland
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: comes back but and starts in opposite of digs. But
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: you know, Carson is gonna You're gonna be able to
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: play him. And I remember Mike Zimmer. I remember exactly
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: where I was at Valley Ranch, on this track right
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: by this hill, where after a mini camp in the
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: summer probably of two thousand and four three maybe where
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Mike Zimmer said, you can never ever ever have too
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: many corners. I remember him saying it, and he was
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator or defensive backs coach or probably defensive coordinator.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: And he's right, he can't, he can't have too many corners.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: And so they don't have too many right now. It's
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: a good it's a good problem to have. All right,
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: let's go to David and fort Worth.
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: Hey, how are you doing, sir, good good brother, good brother.
• 30:03
  Speaker 13: Hey.
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: I just wanted to touch on what Randy caught about
• 30:06
  Speaker 14: earlier about the running game, and I just want to
• 30:08
  Speaker 14: remind everybody. You know, I called before week one and
• 30:11
  Speaker 14: basically just said, like, Hey, it's going to take some
• 30:12
  Speaker 14: time for this offensive line to jail together. You know,
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: they're at unit things. You're just going to get better.
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: So I just want to encourage him and anybody else
• 30:18
  Speaker 14: who might be worried about it that things are going
• 30:20
  Speaker 14: to get better. I'm very very optimistic about that. I
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: did want to mention that I'm excited that a lot
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: of the defensive players after the game mentioned that, you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: they didn't even show the whole playbook. They only I
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: think Dig said like we ran like three different plays
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: and that's it, which is super exciting. And the last
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: thing is a lot of people I feel like are
• 30:35
  Speaker 14: overlooking the Saints just because I'm not really sure why.
• 30:39
  Speaker 14: I do feel like the Dallas Cowboys are a better team.
• 30:41
  Speaker 14: But any NFL team that hangs forty seven, I think
• 30:45
  Speaker 14: it was on another team. I mean, that's that's something
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: that's something that you don't just you know, Scoff that
• 30:50
  Speaker 14: you know, it's pretty impressive. So I'm excited about this week.
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: Nick, I'll be quick. I appreciate you man enough.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you for the call. I mean, of course,
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: and the Saints they look they look good. I mean
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: it's not just forty seven. It's the ten and forty
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: seven on one end and giving up ten on the other.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: And you know, Carolina is is Carolina. I mean, they're
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: they're they're definitely struggling. You know, they struggled last year. Uh,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: and they don't look to be in after one game.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: They don't look to be uh you know, that much
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: that much better. So it's again, it's it's early. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: you know the funny you say that about the Cowboys
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: only ran three players. So that's what Dig said. I mean,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: that can't make you feel good if you're Deshaun Watson,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: just that you know, they were pretty bland out there
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: in their coverage and still looked like, you know, he
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: was trying to, you know, solve the quadratic formula or
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: something like that. He couldn't figure it out, uh at all.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: So but hey, you said that about the Saints, remember
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: this part too. They don't they don't play here a lot.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know they're in the NFC, but they
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: they don't. They don't come here a lot it seems
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: like the way the rotation has been, you will hear
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: their fans. Their fans will be here. It's not it's
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: not a far trip. There's a lot of Saints fans
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: are very loyal, uh, And there's a lot of Saints
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: fans that are still in Dallas, you know, after a
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Hurricane Katrina, and there's a lot of fans in this
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: area that are big Saints fans. They will be at
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: the game. They will be loud, they will be you know,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: they'll stand out. You'll you'll see the gold and the black.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: They'll they'll be there. And so it'll it'll be a
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: game that you know, it'll be a good crowd, it'll
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: be intense, and you know, I'm sure that they're very
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: excited about their team right now. So I wouldn't overlook
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: them at all. I think the Cowboys should win the game.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: But but you know, we've seen it before where they
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: don't come out and play well, and they don't you know,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: they turn the ball over. Anything can happen, for sure.
• 32:40

• 34:17
  Speaker 4: got a time for some more questions. We're gonna go
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: with Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael, what's up?
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: Hey? I just got a quick question.
• 34:28
  Speaker 15: I know how fascy NFL is, so I already haven't
• 34:31
  Speaker 15: looked towards the Saints game. What are the big things
• 34:36
  Speaker 15: that we're gonna have to contend with from these Saints?
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean you have to, uh, I mean, their
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: defense has always been very aggressive with Dennis Allen's he's
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: an aggressive coach and that he likes to blitz a lot.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: So I mean, we it'll be I'm not gonna say
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: it similar to to the Browns, but it'll be a
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: very very aggressive defense. It's it's kind of it always
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: reminds me a little bit of going up against Mike's defenses,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: So you'll you'll have to do that. And then you know,
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: they just do unique things, you know, I mean, whether
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: it's you know, Taysom Hill or you know whatever. I mean,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: he didn't have a huge game there, but but they
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: they're kind of unorthodox and the way they do things
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: on offense, and you know, it's still early in the season. Remember,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: both teams had comfortable wins, and so early on in
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: the game, I mean, it was very clear that the
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Saints were going to win, and it was very clear
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: that the Cowboys were going to win. So at that point,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: you're done showing stuff. You're done showing your unique plays
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: and things like that. So my point is is you
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: still don't know exactly everything you're gonna see from the Saints,
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: and they don't know everything that the Cowboys have from
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: their offense stuff as well. So I would still call
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: it early in the year. Yes, there's one game under
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: the belt for both teams, but probably more of a
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: half because in the second half I think it turned
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: very vanilla for both teams, and so that's it's that's
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: why I would say McArthur uses the term unscouted looks.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: We're still at that at that area unscouted looks right now,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: So still a little bit early to tell. But now
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I would imagine it's gonna be a fun game, fun crowd,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: like I mentioned before, and we'll see how how the
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Cowboys handle it and how the same handled it will
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: be their biggest challenge of the season by far all right,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: phone lines are open eighty eight eight five five two
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: two nine seven. I'm gonna get a text message. Question
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: We've got from Allen. He's in Clearwater, Florida. He wants
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: to talk about Mazzie Smith says on the stat sheet
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: he didn't even make an appearance with zero tackles. Can
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: you tell me what you saw from Mozzie on Sunday?
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Is there a reason to be optimistic or the same
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: thing with him at last year getting washed out? No,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: remember the position that you play. You know, Aaron Donald
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: kind of messed it up for everybody for the defensive
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: tackles because Aaron Donald would make a lot of sacks
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: and stats and show up. He was absolutely dominant. That's
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: why he was three times Defensive Player of the Year
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: and first ballot Hall of Famer for sure. But usually
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: at the defensive tackle position, you don't have a ton
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: of stats. That's not really your goal, especially when you
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: have the rushers on the outside. Your your job is
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: to is to fill the gaps, fill the lanes and
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: don't get knocked off the ball and don't get blown
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: blown away for you know, a huge gap for a
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: big run. That's why they added these these big guys
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: in the middle. It's a combination. Jordan Phillips involved Joseph Osa.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Now Osa I thought was very good in the game.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: He was by far the best defensive tackle and one
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: of the best players on defense. But you know that's
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: his job getting up the field. Guys like Mazzi though,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: hold your ground. You're not going to get a lot
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: of stats. That's just not the way it's going to be.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: But if they start running the football and they running
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: it right at them, then that's that's something that you
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: needed to look at. The Browns were not running the ball.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Those defensive tackles held their owns and allowed Kendrick to
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: go up and make plays. They all did it. They
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: all did a good job. So that's that's the goal.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, you can't look at a first round pick
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: and just say, why aren't you getting four or five sacks?
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: If you're looking at sacks for a guy like Mazzie Smith,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: you're not looking at it correctly. In my opinion. You
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: need to make sure that the running game, the run
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: defense is sound, and he's a big, big part of that,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: and one game it definitely was sound. So that I
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: would say, look at them and they did a nice job.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: All right. Another text question here. This is Jonathan. He's
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: from Portinanchez, Texas. Say he's feeling much better about the
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: run defense after seeing our linebackers against Cleveland. Overshown's closing
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: speed on Watson was incredible to see. How are you
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: feeling about the run defense after one game? Thanks? Loved
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: the show. Thank you for the text message. I believe that,
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: you know, when I look at the way he runs,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: the look at the way that Overshown, you know, chase
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: down Watson. I mean, that's just what you got. It
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: wasn't just that play. There were several plays there on
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: the sideline where you just saw that the speed you
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: saw him seeing it, you know, processing being alert and
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: then going and attacking the ball and getting there and
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: cutting off angles. I mean, that's that's a huge play
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: when you think about a guy going on the sideline there,
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: he's trying to get around the corner. Here comes over
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: shown it's it's second and ten. He thinks he's gonna
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: get there and he knocks him out of bounds four
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: yard short, third and four, as opposed to just not
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: making that angle and maybe it's the first down. Maybe
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: it's third and one completely different play. Angles matter. You know,
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: getting to the ball obviously matters, and I just love
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: the way and not only when you get there, but
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: you know, bring the wood. And that's what Overshown certainly does.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Just love his attitude, love the way he plays, and
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: you know, quite a skept I mean, Marius Leafal is
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: the same type of player. Not as tall and rangey maybe,
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: but still the same type of guy that wants to
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: go up there and just hit. And that's that's exciting
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: to see too. So you can't we can't stress enough
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: just how different the linebackers on this defense. And that's
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: that's something right off the bat when when Zimmer was hired,
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: that was something that we all talked about, was let's
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: see how different the linebackers are. After one game. It's
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: been it's been amazing. All right. Lester in Minnesota is next, Lester?
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 40:18
  Speaker 13: Hey?
• 40:18
  Speaker 16: How you doing out there?
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Nick?
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: How are you? First time caller?
• 40:23
  Speaker 16: Yeah? First time call alone?
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: Here we go, Here we go, Lester, what's on your mind?
• 40:30
  Speaker 16: They called me cowboys since seventy seven. That's when I
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: started being a Cowboys sorin I was a little bitty
• 40:35
  Speaker 16: boy and grew up in Chicago. All Right, all right,
• 40:39
  Speaker 16: I just got one thing to say everybody who's saying
• 40:44
  Speaker 16: everything about well we should do this, we should do that.
• 40:48
  Speaker 16: I'm just gonna quote my favorite, my favorite quote from
• 40:55
  Speaker 16: a from Jim Plunkett. I believe he said this in
• 40:57
  Speaker 16: nineteen eighty three or so. Long time go anyway. Uh,
• 41:02
  Speaker 16: the reporter after the game was asking him a question, Hey, Jim,
• 41:07
  Speaker 16: can you can you tell us you guys have five
• 41:11
  Speaker 16: turnover on paraphrase? You guys have five turnovers almost six.
• 41:15
  Speaker 16: You almost lost the fumble, you had one fumble you lost,
• 41:18
  Speaker 16: you threw four interceptions. Can you explain that? And then
• 41:25
  Speaker 16: Jim Plunker said, did we win the game? He said yeah,
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: he said, that's all that matters. All right, So that's
• 41:31
  Speaker 16: all I'm gonna say. See, the Cowboy fans don't worry
• 41:33
  Speaker 16: about all that. So long as we win, we're good.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm out, all right, all right, Well, I mean
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: that's that's good. I understand. I understand that you're you're
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: right as long as you win the game. But but
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: you also, you know, you have to know that you've
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: got to be, you know, good with the ball, and
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: you've you've got you've got to still clean up some
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: things because you know it's going to be better. You know,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: you're going to face quarterbacks that that complete passes and
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: so that's and you're gonna face one this week. So
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: you've got to be you got to be sound in that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: You've got to be, you know, better than than than
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: what you were there. You you've got to run the
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: football better than you have because there's gonna be games
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: where field goals aren't aren't gonna win. That was one
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: where field goals are going to win. Last night. You
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: look at you know, look at the game that the
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: forty nine ers had on Monday night against against the Jets.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Look at the way they they played. I mean, it
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: got it was apparent that they were better than the Jets,
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: and so there was times where they could have maybe
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: gone forward. But just keep getting points, just keep kicking
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: field goals and winning the game and you know, helping
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: me win my fantasy game and all that's good, but
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: you know, but just get points. And that's that's where
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: there are games like that. But it's not always going
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: to be that way. Let's go to Robbie and Ko Kobets, Florida, Robbie,
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: what's up, good man? What's up with you?
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Not that I got one question. I rewatched the game.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: I've got two questions. Firstly, you think I'm running back
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: still out on the street or on different teams someplace
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: now leading rusher for the year. You don't think so?
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: No, I don't. I don't believe so now. I mean,
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know who.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: Like I said yesterday, I mean, I'm happy of the
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: offensive line. Man, if they keep playing like that, gelling better.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: I see this rushing for a lot of guards, and
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: I guess I don't really care who's back there.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, they could make a trade with somebody,
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: a starting running back that's maybe in the last year
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: of the contract or something like that. I could see
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: maybe that happening. But you know, when you already won
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: game in I let let's just see. I mean, right now,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm okay with with with what it was in
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: the running game. Let's let's see. I mean, after one game,
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: in a game like that, they got out of hand
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: and you know, the Browns are playing with pride in
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: the second half and trying to, you know, show up
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: the run, and they're not they're not going deep. They're
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: playing very very conservative. They're gonna run the Browns know
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: what I'm I can't really tell much from that game.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, the first half the running game looked okay
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: to me, and that's really when it was a game.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: So I've only really seen a half. Let's let's see
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: in one more game against the Saints that that aren't
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: you know that they're not the number one defense in
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: in the NFL from the year before. Let's just see
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: that and then and then after a game or two.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: I think that that's that's why the trade deadline is
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: what it is. You still kind of want to fill
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: out your own team and see what you've got.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: Very fair, We've got one more, Yeah, go for it,
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: all right, so Romo said. In his football life, he
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: said he felt in the last couple of years of
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: his career that he was just starting to understand the game, right,
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: you think you think that's there.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: I think I think, yeah. Well, I don't know if
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: he's if he would say the same thing, but I
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: but I think that was my point earlier, that it's
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: you're never too far into your career to keep learning
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: and to keep figuring things out and so yeah, I
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: think I think Dak is still learning some things. He's
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: still learning on how to do make certain throws, how
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: to I think what Romo was talking about was torquing
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: his body in a certain way and throwing a deep ball,
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: or you know, our fate or stuff like that. So
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: I get what what Tony was saying, and I think
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: there's elements of that that Dak certainly would agree with.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: All Right, my friend, that's it.
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: Have a great day and we'll talk to you tomorrow.
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: All right, all right, buddy.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Thanks Robbie, appreciate that. Let's go one more caller here,
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Ronnie in New Jersey. Ronnie, what's up? Ronnie? Are you there?
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: Hey, Mick, how are you doing?
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Good man?
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: How are you not too bad?
• 45:39
  Speaker 16: Not too bad?
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: I wanted to ask you a couple of questions. This
• 45:43
  Speaker 10: was a fun game, uh, in our point of view, Nick,
• 45:48
  Speaker 10: with all these linebackers that we have, I mean, do
• 45:52
  Speaker 10: you think maybe we could throw now? They'll starting throwing
• 45:56
  Speaker 10: like some three four, start mixing it up, because well
• 45:59
  Speaker 10: we have more and and and seems like we have
• 46:03
  Speaker 10: great skilled players. I mean, the linebackers are fast, hard hitting.
• 46:09
  Speaker 10: I see the defence converting more towards like a three
• 46:13
  Speaker 10: four or mixt of both, because of the linebackers that
• 46:16
  Speaker 10: we have, and and this old line, like the guys
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: were saying, I think this old line is only going
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: to get better with time. That's only going to make
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: the running game better with time, and and and Dak.
• 46:28
  Speaker 10: I mean, wow, this was a fun game. But now,
• 46:32
  Speaker 10: like I forgot the other guy that he was mentioned,
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: I want to see when they play the Niners, when
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: they play these the Saints, when I when they play
• 46:42
  Speaker 10: complete teams. That's what That's what I would like to
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: see what happens.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: Then, yeah, I agree, I mean, thank you Ronnie for
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: the call. You know, I I before, let's before they
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: start switching to a three four and all that kind
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: of exotic stuff. Let's see let's get them to master
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: what they're doing right now, I'll say this, let's let's
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: let's tap the breaks a little on how great the
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: defense looked in that one game, Because you know, I
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: think superstars carry teams. I believe that. I think when
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: you have an elite player, it makes other guys around
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: them better. Deshaun Watson is not an elite quarterback. Amari
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: Cooper is a is a really great route runner, and
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: he's a really good receiver. I don't know if he's elite.
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, I don't think he's one of
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: the top ones. I think he can be good, and
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: we've seen it. We've seen him be very good with
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys, but I don't think he is one of
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: the game's best. They don't have a great running back
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: right now or tied in or even the offensive line,
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: so they don't have anything that's like it's like that
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: person is a difference maker, perennial pro bowler and all that.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: There's gonna be games obviously coming up here soon this week,
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: you know, I we'll see I don't know if the Saints.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: You would say that about the Saints either, but definitely
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: in the next game with Lamar Jackson their quarterback in
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: the MVP. So all I'm saying is is that let's
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: see it before they're really tested, before we start changing schemes,
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: and they can do this, and that they haven't been
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: tested as much as they're going to be. And but
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: that's why we don't jump ahead here. We let the
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: season ride out, and after one game it looked really
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: good for the Cowboys. Let's see what happens the next week,
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: but we will talk about that and a lot more tomorrow.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Remember every day, Monday through Friday, ten am Central, we're
• 48:36

• 48:39
