Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:02Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:04Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Cowboys. This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 1: What is up? Good morning? It is Cowboys Storyline time.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman.
- 0:25Speaker 4: Friday, December fifteenth, Cowboys getting ready to go to Buffalo.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Haven't said that in eight years. This is only the
- 0:34Speaker 4: third time I've ever been to Buffalo for the Cowboys
- 0:37Speaker 4: Bill's game seven twenty fifteen. And now here we are
- 0:43Speaker 4: eight years later, twenty twenty three, Cowboys going to Buffalo.
- 0:46Speaker 4: And I remember the last time we were there, which
- 0:50Speaker 4: I categorized as probably the worst road trip of all time,
- 0:55Speaker 4: is that it was December. It was late December. It
- 0:58Speaker 4: was raining the whole game, very cold, miserable. The game
- 1:03Speaker 4: was worse than the weather, and it was bad, and
- 1:05Speaker 4: then the road trip, the flight back was worse than
- 1:08Speaker 4: all of that. So yeah, and it sounds like I
- 1:13Speaker 4: don't know about the game, but it definitely sounds like
- 1:15Speaker 4: the weather is going to be about the same. But
- 1:18Speaker 4: now it's turned to rain in the forecast about eighty percent.
- 1:21Speaker 1: I think it's going to be pretty cold.
- 1:24Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna be Buffalo December cold, but
- 1:27Speaker 4: it's gonna be cold, windy, rainy, fun fun times for football.
- 1:32Speaker 4: See if the Cowboys are up for the challenge for that. So,
- 1:37Speaker 4: all right, as I recall the two games that I've
- 1:41Speaker 4: seen in Buffalo, I counted one hundred and twenty minutes
- 1:44Speaker 4: of football that I've seen there, and I think the
- 1:45Speaker 4: Cowboys were pretty bad, and like one hundred and eighteen
- 1:48Speaker 4: of those minutes. They came back in one in two
- 1:51Speaker 4: thousand and seven, which was a memorable game, but it
- 1:54Speaker 4: was pretty awful up until those final few minutes. Romo
- 1:58Speaker 4: was it was his best worst game of his care
- 2:00Speaker 4: So I think that's a good way to categorize that.
- 2:04Speaker 1: All right, let's go.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Let's get let's get after the phone line here eight
- 2:07Speaker 4: eight eight eight FI five two two nine seven. You

- 2:56Speaker 5: you thinks rain, rain, snow, cold, what was gonna do good?
- 3:01Speaker 5: We're gonna hit him with the running game this week.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Got to got you got to run the ball, I
- 3:07Speaker 4: mean have to run the football. And then you have
- 3:09Speaker 4: to have a team built for this, this type of game.
- 3:13Speaker 4: So I think the offensive line is built for it.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I think, you know, I think I think that they
- 3:19Speaker 4: could be all right there. Tony Pollard though, you know,
- 3:23Speaker 4: every time you kind of think, man, he's not this
- 3:27Speaker 4: or that, he seems to kind of change opinions. And
- 3:30Speaker 4: I think he's running the ball pretty well here, So
- 3:34Speaker 4: this could be a game for him, sure.
- 3:36Speaker 5: Yeah. And and Dowell too, I think he's doing a
- 3:39Speaker 5: good job. I have no things with as long as
- 3:44Speaker 5: he's to do his job and Tony do his job,
- 3:47Speaker 5: and Dak take care of the ball.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Right, got to take care of take care of the ball.
- 3:52Speaker 5: You know, I think we're gonna do okay. I'm not
- 3:54Speaker 5: changing my mind. I told you that a month ago.
- 3:57Speaker 5: We're gonna be okay.
- 3:58Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, y'all have a.

- 4:21Speaker 7: I'm great.
- 4:22Speaker 8: I'm glad to talk to you. I'm glad the Cowboys
- 4:26Speaker 8: listened to me last week. I called in and told
- 4:29Speaker 8: you how tired I was with them starting out with
- 4:31Speaker 8: a run on the first.
- 4:34Speaker 9: Series of the game.
- 4:35Speaker 8: So yeah, I thought that pretty nice.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I want to tell.
- 4:40Speaker 8: A story, a quick story, and then a comment about
- 4:45Speaker 8: you and your show. Yeah. At the time, this was
- 4:52Speaker 8: like ninety two, I was living up in Tapita, Kansas,
- 4:57Speaker 8: and this before the internet.
- 5:00Speaker 5: I saw a.
- 5:01Speaker 8: Little blimp in the paper where some Dallas cowboys were
- 5:04Speaker 8: coming up to do a signing, like got a library
- 5:07Speaker 8: of all places, and they passed out these pictures of
- 5:12Speaker 8: the guys that were there signing. There was Drew Pearson
- 5:15Speaker 8: and Preston Pearson, I remember more than any of the others.
- 5:18Speaker 8: There about eight of us, and I got the signatures
- 5:22Speaker 8: and got to shake hands and all that, and then
- 5:25Speaker 8: I left directly from there to go train my retriever.
- 5:30Speaker 8: We were out shooting and it was the storm. Clouds
- 5:37Speaker 8: started moving in and dual tornadoes formed, and we were
- 5:41Speaker 8: running back to the truck. It was poured down, opened
- 5:44Speaker 8: the door and the retriever jumps in, paused first onto
- 5:50Speaker 8: all my autographs, ripped them in half, and they're all muddy,
- 5:54Speaker 8: and I was broken hearted. But anyways, sorry, that's that's
- 6:02Speaker 8: the story.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Okay, that's in the nineties.
- 6:05Speaker 10: You know, I'm an old time fan.
- 6:08Speaker 8: What a word to say about you? Okay, the reason
- 6:13Speaker 8: you're my favorite. I listened to all the podcasts. You
- 6:16Speaker 8: have a good sense of humor. You know, you're not
- 6:19Speaker 8: cutting up all the time like some of the other
- 6:22Speaker 8: ones do. Uh. You have great football intelligence, but you're
- 6:27Speaker 8: not arrogant about it.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 6:31Speaker 8: You know your history, but.
- 6:32Speaker 5: You don't live in it.
- 6:35Speaker 8: And I'm like to the.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Callers, Yeah, well go ahead, No, I I'm listening to
- 6:42Speaker 4: the callers.
- 6:43Speaker 1: No, I mean I appreciate you saying that.
- 6:45Speaker 4: I appreciate I've never actually heard anyone say it like that.
- 6:49Speaker 1: You know your history, you don't live in it.
- 6:52Speaker 4: That's that's you know what, because that's an interesting thing
- 6:55Speaker 4: because a lot of people do, you know. I I
- 6:58Speaker 4: remember we had a guy that works here one time,
- 7:01Speaker 4: and all he could ever talk about was Jimmy Johnson.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Jimmy did this, and Jimmy said this, and Jimmy did this,
- 7:06Speaker 4: and it's like it's been twenty years, like stop talking
- 7:08Speaker 4: about Jimmy Johnson, like like you know, to the point of, well,
- 7:11Speaker 4: that's the way Jimmy would have done it, you know.
- 7:13Speaker 4: And I always thought that that somebody was living in
- 7:15Speaker 4: the past, and so I never thought.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Of it that way far myself.
- 7:18Speaker 4: But then again, I've never seen an NFC championship game,
- 7:21Speaker 4: So what am I really living in? Like a wildcard round,
- 7:24Speaker 4: you know, like I'm ready to start some new uh
- 7:26Speaker 4: new history here. Hey, all right, all right, well thanks
- 7:31Speaker 4: for the call. I wish that story would have turned
- 7:34Speaker 4: out better. I was thinking it was gonna be something
- 7:35Speaker 4: really cool, like somebody, you know what, Preston Pearson like
- 7:38Speaker 4: saved the day, you know, with with a tornado.
- 7:41Speaker 1: But you've lost all your autographs. That's not good.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Sorry about that. All right, Oh, thanks for thanks for
- 7:47Speaker 4: the call, Tyrone. Appreciate that. All right, let's keep it
- 7:50Speaker 4: rolling here on the phone line. Bill and Pittsburgh next.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Bill. Okay, what's up?
- 7:58Speaker 11: Hey, what's up? Man? Just I can't believe I got
- 8:03Speaker 11: through to you here. Let me. I'm watching you on
- 8:05Speaker 11: TV right now.
- 8:06Speaker 1: All right, I'm here.
- 8:08Speaker 11: So anyway, Bittburg, Bill, I've been a Cowboy fan all
- 8:13Speaker 11: my life. I wanna raised here in Pittsburgh. But I
- 8:16Speaker 11: got a couple of stories, if you don't mind.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Yeah, uh you know.
- 8:20Speaker 11: First story, I went to see Tom Landry and ducked
- 8:24Speaker 11: into the Hall of Fame in Kenton, Ohio. And back
- 8:27Speaker 11: in those days, they rushed everybody out of the hall
- 8:31Speaker 11: and to where everybody would be outside. But some way, somehow,
- 8:35Speaker 11: I got locked inside the Hall of Fame and I
- 8:38Speaker 11: got to meet Tom Landry, Roger Staubach, Ben Davis, Frank o'harris,
- 8:44Speaker 11: and a bunch of other guys. So that's my one story.
- 8:48Speaker 11: My other story, when I got the Army, I was
- 8:51Speaker 11: a still big Cowboy fan, and I came up with
- 8:53Speaker 11: this idea coming up with a T shirt that said
- 8:56Speaker 11: a mayor of let me say it said America, mom
- 9:02Speaker 11: apple Pie and the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, and everybody was
- 9:06Speaker 11: telling me, Wow, what a great idea you should you should.
- 9:08Speaker 10: Try to sell that.
- 9:09Speaker 11: So back in the day, Dallas Cowboys had the Dallas
- 9:12Speaker 11: Coupay weekly magazine. So I put an advertisement in the
- 9:16Speaker 11: Pittsburgh Press that I was going to I was looking
- 9:20Speaker 11: for a model to advertise this shirt. I got so
- 9:24Speaker 11: many phone calls from so many women wanted to wanted
- 9:28Speaker 11: to wear this shirt so they could be in the
- 9:30Speaker 11: Dallas couped weekly magazine.
- 9:33Speaker 1: So that was that was kind of crazy nice all right.
- 9:37Speaker 11: Anyway, just thoroughly enjoy the shows. Being from Pittsburgh. I
- 9:43Speaker 11: lived up in Buffalo for many years and still have
- 9:45Speaker 11: a house just two hours south of Buffalo and a
- 9:49Speaker 11: lot of Buffalo contacts. I just want to say, go Boys,
- 9:53Speaker 11: beat the Bills, and I look forward to the game
- 9:56Speaker 11: on Sunday.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Okay, Well, thanks, Bill, appreciate that I believe first time caller.
- 10:02Speaker 4: Not sure, Yeah, thank thank you for the call.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Bill. Appreciate that there you go, you gotta here we go.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Okay, could barely hear it, but but yeah, Chris, Chris
- 10:13Speaker 4: is out today.
- 10:14Speaker 1: So we got Jazz and Josh running it back there.
- 10:17Speaker 4: They're doing a great job still that they probably don't
- 10:19Speaker 4: know all the bells and whistles of what Chris is doing,
- 10:21Speaker 4: but it sound sounds pretty good though.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Here we go from deck and.
- 10:25Speaker 11: I got one more thing you remember, since you're a
- 10:27Speaker 11: wrestling fan. I'm not, but I grew up during Bruno
- 10:31Speaker 11: San Martino.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Bruno san Martino. Yep, he was kind of
- 10:36Speaker 4: he was in the eighties there for sure.
- 10:39Speaker 11: So yeah, so actually in the sixties, I think.
- 10:42Speaker 4: Wait, then I'm thinking of a different guy. Then, sorry,
- 10:45Speaker 4: then I must be thinking of a different person. Yes, sorry,
- 10:48Speaker 4: all right, all right, sounds good. Thanks, thanks for the call.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Bill.
- 10:53Speaker 4: All right, let's let's we got a text question here
- 10:55Speaker 4: from Joe and Florida. He says, how confident are you
- 10:58Speaker 4: with the looming weather?
- 10:59Speaker 8: It is?
- 11:00Speaker 4: Do we trust the running game? Well, the running game
- 11:04Speaker 4: hasn't been as consistent. But is it because they can't
- 11:09Speaker 4: run or is it because they're throwing the ball all
- 11:12Speaker 4: over the yard? I mean, that's that's kind of the
- 11:14Speaker 4: question here, and I you know, yes, what I mean,
- 11:18Speaker 4: you have to do what you do best. And I
- 11:20Speaker 4: think what this team is doing best is they passed
- 11:23Speaker 4: block better than they run block, and they're throwing the ball.
- 11:25Speaker 4: The receivers are are making plays better than they run
- 11:30Speaker 4: the football. So and they haven't had a lot of
- 11:32Speaker 4: games this year where they have to just run the
- 11:35Speaker 4: ball run out the clock. We haven't seen that happen.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Seattle was one where they did. That was the one
- 11:42Speaker 4: game this year where they had to kind of run
- 11:44Speaker 4: it out and win the game, and.
- 11:47Speaker 1: They did a pretty good job.
- 11:48Speaker 4: They ran it, They ran it down there and then
- 11:50Speaker 4: they got to inside the ten and of course we
- 11:52Speaker 4: know they threw it, tried to score and with a
- 11:55Speaker 4: knockout punch and it didn't ultimately hurt them, but it
- 11:59Speaker 4: was it was quite stable. And so they most of
- 12:02Speaker 4: their games have been i mean, every home game this
- 12:04Speaker 4: year other than Seattle has been you know, like a
- 12:07Speaker 4: twenty point win. And so the Chargers game was close,
- 12:12Speaker 4: but they didn't really they weren't in a position to
- 12:14Speaker 4: really run out the clock. So we haven't seen a
- 12:16Speaker 4: lot of times where they really had to lean on
- 12:17Speaker 4: the running game. This might be one of those where
- 12:20Speaker 4: you have to do that or at least short passing
- 12:24Speaker 4: game from from dak and the Boys. All right, let's
- 12:27Speaker 4: go back to the phone line. We've got Justin from Alaska. Definitely,
- 12:35Speaker 4: definitely first time caller, first time from Alaska. I think
- 12:39Speaker 4: I called you guys out the other day. I was like,
- 12:40Speaker 4: we haven't had a call from Alaska.
- 12:42Speaker 12: Here we go, and that's why I'm calling.
- 12:45Speaker 1: And I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
- 12:47Speaker 4: I need to start calling out more states. New Hampshire, you,
- 12:52Speaker 4: South Dakota, you all right, That's all I can think
- 12:55Speaker 4: of right now. So Justin and Alaska, that's a great.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:59Speaker 12: I was driving driving through a blizzard. I'm a truck
- 13:01Speaker 12: driver up here, and you called me out and I'm like, well,
- 13:04Speaker 12: I'll be the first one.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Wow, appreciate that man driving a truck in Alaska.
- 13:09Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 13:09Speaker 12: It's been a fun winner.
- 13:11Speaker 5: But I wanted to just something.
- 13:15Speaker 12: I've been a Cowboys fan for a long time. We
- 13:18Speaker 12: were able to come down in twenty sixteen for that
- 13:21Speaker 12: beat down on the Eagles in overtime with the wit
- 13:24Speaker 12: and catch.
- 13:25Speaker 4: That was my first game, which I have a story
- 13:28Speaker 4: for that. I'll I'll have a story for that with
- 13:30Speaker 4: on that game when you're done.
- 13:32Speaker 12: That was an expensive trip, and I bought it right
- 13:35Speaker 12: before Tony Romo went down with that injury. We're all
- 13:38Speaker 12: excited about going see Romo. And right after that game,
- 13:43Speaker 12: and literally two or three days before that game where
- 13:45Speaker 12: he got injury, we bought our tickets.
- 13:47Speaker 1: For that game, and we're like, are.
- 13:49Speaker 5: You kidding me?
- 13:50Speaker 12: And we thought the season was shot. But yeah, anyway,
- 13:53Speaker 12: the thing I'm noticing about the season is, Man, we're
- 13:56Speaker 12: playing great, but when we start racking up like the
- 14:00Speaker 12: pass interference penalties. I noticed that when, uh, like the
- 14:04Speaker 12: other day against the Seahawks, when Bland was getting picked on,
- 14:09Speaker 12: I noticed, once he got a couple of those they
- 14:11Speaker 12: got a couple of those pass interference calls, he kind
- 14:13Speaker 12: of backs off a little bit. I rewatched and went
- 14:17Speaker 12: back to a couple of other games where they're getting
- 14:19Speaker 12: that pass interference early in the game. It just seems
- 14:22Speaker 12: like that that really stops him from playing wide open aggressive.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Well, and and that and that is natural because pass
- 14:31Speaker 4: interference is such a costly penalty, you know, And and too,
- 14:37Speaker 4: you have to watch you know how aggressive you are,
- 14:39Speaker 4: You have to you have to play to how the
- 14:41Speaker 4: how the game is being called and adjusts. So you know,
- 14:45Speaker 4: I think it's unfortunate. I hate when they call it
- 14:48Speaker 4: that tight because the defender has no shot. I mean,
- 14:52Speaker 4: it's hard enough to guard these you know, world class
- 14:56Speaker 4: wide receivers anyways, and then when they call it that way,
- 14:59Speaker 4: it makes it really to off. And as long as
- 15:01Speaker 4: they're consistent, though, just call it that way. If you're
- 15:03Speaker 4: going to call it, call it the whole game and
- 15:05Speaker 4: call it for both sides. That's the way I look at.
- 15:07Speaker 12: It, right, And I noticed I noticed Bland because I
- 15:10Speaker 12: rewatched that game because I was like, why did that
- 15:12Speaker 12: Bland have such a rough game? And I noticed it
- 15:14Speaker 12: was it seemed like that that was what pulled him
- 15:17Speaker 12: out of that game. I don't know that that could
- 15:20Speaker 12: have been just me, but he could have just had
- 15:21Speaker 12: a bad game. But I noticed that, Yeah, that before
- 15:25Speaker 12: when they have called it that tight. Yeah, but anyway,
- 15:28Speaker 12: I'll let you go. I just wanted to make sure
- 15:30Speaker 12: I was the first one from Alaska.
- 15:31Speaker 1: So you got it, and that's good. We it. It
- 15:35Speaker 1: sounds like you're next door.
- 15:36Speaker 4: I mean, I mean the way the call is, I
- 15:38Speaker 4: mean it's it's it's a perfect reception there. So all right,
- 15:42Speaker 4: Thanks Justin from Alaska. Our first. We could knock that
- 15:46Speaker 4: state off the list. I'm really gonna have to do
- 15:49Speaker 4: a deep dive now and make sure that I'm not,
- 15:51Speaker 4: you know, leaving leaving somebody out. But I really think
- 15:54Speaker 4: South Dakota and New Hampshire. I'm sure there's a couple
- 15:58Speaker 4: of others, but those those two right now, and maybe Wyoming.
- 16:02Speaker 4: I don't remember Wyoming. We did have one from Montana,
- 16:04Speaker 4: but not Wyoming. So those are the three states I think,
- 16:08Speaker 4: still looking for calls from there. Never had a caller
- 16:12Speaker 4: from Northport, Florida, at least not today, at least until now. Dylan, Dylan, Northport, Florida,
- 16:19Speaker 4: what's up.
- 16:20Speaker 13: Hey, Hey, how's it going.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you doing?
- 16:23Speaker 13: I'm good, dude. Hey, just I want to give you
- 16:25Speaker 13: a quick analysis here on the Bills, and then I
- 16:28Speaker 13: give you my score prediction.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
- 16:31Speaker 13: So Bill's defense is just kind of so. So they
- 16:34Speaker 13: were really good to start, but they got lots of injuries,
- 16:37Speaker 13: and specifically in the secondary back end safeties. They've got
- 16:43Speaker 13: a nickel cornerback who's not playing that well right now,
- 16:46Speaker 13: and he really struggles against fast receivers. So I'm looking
- 16:49Speaker 13: forward to hopefully Mike getting Cooks or Turpin matched up
- 16:53Speaker 13: on him here, and there might be a good potential
- 16:56Speaker 13: for some deep balls, assuming the weather doesn't switch into
- 16:59Speaker 13: anything crazy, be honest there. So we'll see on that.
- 17:03Speaker 13: And then Josh Allen. Let's say about Josh Allen. His
- 17:08Speaker 13: legs care of me obviously, and we struggled in the
- 17:10Speaker 13: past against some running quarterbacks, but it looks like we've
- 17:12Speaker 13: tightened up lately, so hopefully that continues. But man, I'm
- 17:16Speaker 13: just waiting for him to turn that ball over. I'm
- 17:17Speaker 13: hoping Dallas can get a couple of picks this game,
- 17:20Speaker 13: and they have to be aggressive guys.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Nine in a row, nine games in a row, he's
- 17:24Speaker 1: throwing a pick.
- 17:26Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, it's it's bad. But he's the MVP though,
- 17:29Speaker 13: according to Dani Roblowski. But we don't we don't need
- 17:31Speaker 13: to go there.
- 17:31Speaker 1: But recently, like that was early in the year, not
- 17:34Speaker 1: like recently, right.
- 17:35Speaker 13: No, no, did you do you see what you said
- 17:38Speaker 13: this the other day? He said, if if the Bill's
- 17:40Speaker 13: win this game, then Josh Allen vault into the m
- 17:43Speaker 13: v P leader. I don't know about that, but yeah,
- 17:47Speaker 13: so he's getting blown up pretty good on that one.
- 17:50Speaker 13: I don't see that happening, but I think Dallas coming
- 17:53Speaker 13: over with a defensive touchdown. I'm gonna say it's gonna
- 17:55Speaker 13: be Bland, just for the fun of it, because that'll
- 17:57Speaker 13: be awesome to see.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:58Speaker 14: So it's been a couple of week, been a couple
- 18:01Speaker 14: of weeks.
- 18:01Speaker 13: I know he's passed.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Do like, what's he doing?
- 18:03Speaker 13: He needs to get back together. Come on, I need
- 18:06Speaker 13: a new injury here. I got to practice some other
- 18:08Speaker 13: dron bland move here on my carpet or something.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'll see.
- 18:11Speaker 13: Yeah. So I'm gonna say the final score is gonna
- 18:14Speaker 13: be thirty four to twenty four, playing defensive touchdown and
- 18:18Speaker 13: Dak throws the ball up and down the.
- 18:19Speaker 15: Field all day.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Nice, all right, you're not worried about the weather, He's
- 18:23Speaker 4: like all days, throw it up and down.
- 18:25Speaker 13: Nah nah, weather, weather schmither.
- 18:28Speaker 5: Now, we'll see, we'll see.
- 18:29Speaker 13: It keeps changing. So I don't really know what to
- 18:31Speaker 13: expect about the weather, but it keeps changing every two seconds.
- 18:34Speaker 9: I guess we'll see.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Love it all right, weather schmither. All right, appreciate the call. Dylan.
- 18:40Speaker 4: All right, let's go to uh Dennis. He's in Pennsylvania. Dennis.
- 18:47Speaker 9: Yes, sir, are you doing You're on great first time caller.
- 18:51Speaker 1: All right, here we go, wait to lay out for it.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Well.
- 18:58Speaker 9: Thirty two years ago today I walked into Veterans Stadium.
- 19:02Speaker 9: We had been beaten so many times by Buddy Ryan
- 19:07Speaker 9: and those rotten Iggles, and the winner would be going
- 19:12Speaker 9: to playoffs, the loser be going home and Kelvin.
- 19:15Speaker 4: Martin, Elvin Martin one of my favorite players, Kelvin Martin
- 19:20Speaker 4: and who who gave Who did the block at the
- 19:23Speaker 4: end of that play?
- 19:24Speaker 1: Remember that?
- 19:26Speaker 4: Remember it was Isaac Holts. Isaac Holts just crushed the
- 19:31Speaker 4: punter on that play. Yeah, But when Kelvin Martin did
- 19:36Speaker 4: that punt return for a touchdown, I remember sitting in
- 19:38Speaker 4: the living room with my dad night. That's what nineteen
- 19:42Speaker 4: ninety one I mean. I hadn't seen him make the
- 19:44Speaker 4: playoffs really until its six years and when they won
- 19:48Speaker 4: that game to beat the Eagles to go to make
- 19:50Speaker 4: it the playoffs, that was one of my favorite games
- 19:52Speaker 4: because it's like we did it and you were there.
- 19:56Speaker 9: Yeah, I was yester. A week we went down, three friends,
- 20:00Speaker 9: two friends of me went down. We ended up buying
- 20:03Speaker 9: tickets off of a scalper in the parking lot for
- 20:05Speaker 9: two hundred and five dollars and a six pack of
- 20:07Speaker 9: root beer. True story. Nice the guy would not give
- 20:11Speaker 9: him up for two hundred and five. That's all we had.
- 20:13Speaker 15: We have enough money to get back home.
- 20:15Speaker 9: We lived about three hours away and he said, what
- 20:17Speaker 9: else you got? And we had a pack of root beer.
- 20:20Speaker 9: But I really excited about this season. I'm thankful that
- 20:24Speaker 9: we were starting to see some consistent play. We're not
- 20:27Speaker 9: playing down to the competition. And my favorite cowboy all
- 20:31Speaker 9: time has to be my first jersey ever own was
- 20:34Speaker 9: Randy White, the manster Cool. And I've been through a
- 20:38Speaker 9: lot of good times, a lot of heartbreak. Of course.
- 20:40Speaker 9: The three NFC championship losses in the early eighties really
- 20:44Speaker 9: as a young kid was really defeating. But I think
- 20:48Speaker 9: we have got a good chance this year. Thanks for
- 20:49Speaker 9: all you do.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Love me, Joe, thank you, Dennis. Appreciate that.
- 20:53Speaker 4: Yeah, that that that ninety one game was so so
- 20:59Speaker 4: so important because you know, not only was it the
- 21:01Speaker 4: reason why okay, they finally clinched a playoff spot, but
- 21:05Speaker 4: when you think about it's a perfect example of what
- 21:10Speaker 4: how long an NFL season is because back in like
- 21:14Speaker 4: week three or four of that season, they lost at
- 21:17Speaker 4: home to the Eagles twenty four to nothing, and eight
- 21:21Speaker 4: men was sacked eleven times to the Eagles one game.
- 21:24Speaker 4: Eleven sacks. I mean, Nate Newton will tell the story.
- 21:28Speaker 4: I mean, it was it was awful. It was an
- 21:30Speaker 4: awful day, and it was like, this is what Eagles
- 21:33Speaker 4: are here. The Cowboys are just are here. And as
- 21:36Speaker 4: the season went on, they got better, they got better
- 21:38Speaker 4: as a team, they started winning games, they got hot,
- 21:41Speaker 4: they made it to the to the playoffs, and the Eagles,
- 21:44Speaker 4: you know, suffered some injuries or whatever, but then they
- 21:47Speaker 4: go into Philly and win that game just kind of
- 21:50Speaker 4: goes to show just that you got to keep going.
- 21:52Speaker 4: You can't sit here and think week three or four,
- 21:54Speaker 4: how things are. I mean, look at this team. Look
- 21:57Speaker 4: at them. Look at them now. Look look where they
- 21:59Speaker 4: you know, were they were after the forty nine Ers loss,
- 22:02Speaker 4: and forty nine Ers are the best team in football,
- 22:04Speaker 4: you know, and they were that day that night, forty
- 22:06Speaker 4: two to ten. And then to think the Cowboys now
- 22:09Speaker 4: have won seven of eight, I believe seven seven of
- 22:13Speaker 4: eight and the only loss at Philly knocking on the
- 22:15Speaker 4: doorstep should have won that game. Had knocking on the
- 22:18Speaker 4: on the door the whole fourth quarter, could have won
- 22:21Speaker 4: that game and should have won that game. And then
- 22:23Speaker 4: and then we find out a few weeks later that
- 22:25Speaker 4: they are way better than them, so, or at least
- 22:27Speaker 4: they were that night. All right, let's go. We've got
- 22:32Speaker 4: coach John in Lufkin, Texas.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Coach John. Yes, sir man, it's been a while.
- 22:41Speaker 16: It has been a while.
- 22:42Speaker 1: It's been a while.
- 22:43Speaker 4: You used to call way back in the day, and
- 22:45Speaker 4: maybe you call some of the other shows, but but
- 22:48Speaker 4: I haven't heard I haven't heard from you in a
- 22:50Speaker 4: long time.
- 22:51Speaker 1: How you doing it?
- 22:53Speaker 16: I'm doing well.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this is the first time call on the storyline,
- 22:59Speaker 4: one first time caller, Coach John.
- 23:02Speaker 16: Yeah, I've been a Cowboy fans at nineteen sixty.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:07Speaker 16: My favorite player has always been meil renfro Okay, my
- 23:12Speaker 16: favorite nistler is Fritz vonon Eric or why who Mac Daniels.
- 23:20Speaker 1: And Fritz van Eric That's great.
- 23:24Speaker 16: Yeah, you can tell him.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, I mean I remember Fritz when
- 23:29Speaker 4: he was you know, he was managing his sons. But uh,
- 23:32Speaker 4: I gotta go watch that movie. I know that movie
- 23:34Speaker 4: came out or it is coming out soon, Iron Claw.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I gotta watch that one.
- 23:38Speaker 8: It's about him.
- 23:40Speaker 4: Yeah, it's new, it's about the von Erics and it
- 23:43Speaker 4: you know, it's uh, of course, I'm sure it's sad.
- 23:46Speaker 1: You know. I mean, there's a lot of tragedy. Yeah,
- 23:50Speaker 1: I'm on there.
- 23:50Speaker 4: But so what do you think, man? What do you
- 23:52Speaker 4: think about this scene? What do you like about him?
- 23:55Speaker 16: I tell you, I like the fact that they switched
- 23:58Speaker 16: the of offensive lines came up against Eagles this time
- 24:02Speaker 16: they ran more that zone stretch ye and they ran
- 24:08Speaker 16: more y'all call it pin and pool. We always call
- 24:10Speaker 16: it fast hold. But I've always believed if you have
- 24:16Speaker 16: really big defensive tackles, you block them at angles or
- 24:20Speaker 16: you get them on the move sideways.
- 24:23Speaker 9: That's what they did.
- 24:24Speaker 16: That's how that's how San Francisco was able to run
- 24:27Speaker 16: ball against them.
- 24:29Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, so you kind of use their size to
- 24:32Speaker 4: their to a disadvantage almost for them.
- 24:34Speaker 16: Yeah right, yeah, big, big defensive tackles don't move well sideways. Yeah, true,
- 24:43Speaker 16: And blocking them at an angle is always smart. That's
- 24:47Speaker 16: what That's what option football does. You block at angles
- 24:52Speaker 16: and you don't need that greater offensive.
- 24:54Speaker 8: Lineman to do that.
- 24:56Speaker 4: Plus plus you know any it doesn't matter how big
- 24:59Speaker 4: you are. If you if you get them right on
- 25:01Speaker 4: the hip, they move. You can move anybody. You can
- 25:04Speaker 4: move anybody if I hit it with their hips. And
- 25:07Speaker 4: if you don't believe me, just go find somebody and
- 25:09Speaker 4: push them on the hip and you can see they
- 25:12Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, but you can move them.
- 25:14Speaker 1: You can move them off their hips. All right.
- 25:17Speaker 16: I also look towards they're attacking the safeties.
- 25:20Speaker 8: I own zones.
- 25:21Speaker 16: Now, Okay, I think I think they're gonna have trouble
- 25:28Speaker 16: with Buffalo because they have trouble with these quarterbacks. But
- 25:33Speaker 16: I think they're wearing about fifteen or sixteen.
- 25:36Speaker 4: Okay, that doesn't seem like a lot of trouble. But yeah,
- 25:39Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys will take that all day long.
- 25:41Speaker 4: All right, Well, Coach, is good to hear from you. Yeah,
- 25:46Speaker 4: appreciate the call. Glad you joined us here on the storyline.
- 25:50Speaker 4: We're gonna take it all right. Thanks for the call.

- 28:26Speaker 6: What's up? I am from Gratton, Vermont. I heard you
- 28:29Speaker 6: say the other day no one has called from Vermont,
- 28:31Speaker 6: so I figured I'll give you a show.
- 28:32Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we got a call like to start
- 28:35Speaker 4: off the show a couple of days or like maybe
- 28:37Speaker 4: a week ago.
- 28:38Speaker 6: Well, I guess I'm daylight and a dollar shot.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Well, you know what, you're still first time caller for
- 28:43Speaker 4: our show.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Give you what gives you the deck? Here we go, man.
- 28:48Speaker 5: Second question is, go ahead.
- 28:50Speaker 6: How much do you think the play Colin will be
- 28:52Speaker 6: affected due to kicking conditions?
- 28:55Speaker 4: Yeah, you're talking about playing, you know, a call and
- 28:59Speaker 4: play to affect your kicking game. Yeah, I mean, like,
- 29:03Speaker 4: I think you have to see how that goes in
- 29:04Speaker 4: the pregame, See see what the win looks like, which
- 29:07Speaker 4: direction the kick and.
- 29:08Speaker 1: All that stuff.
- 29:09Speaker 6: It's not going to be favorable.
- 29:11Speaker 1: No, it won't be No. Then again, Aubrey's never missed
- 29:14Speaker 1: the kick, you know, at all. So we'll see.
- 29:17Speaker 4: Well, I mean, that's why our pregame is so important,
- 29:20Speaker 4: just to kind of gauge that. Let's see what you know,
- 29:23Speaker 4: they'll figure that out.
- 29:24Speaker 6: As far as the temperatures and the weather goes, hell,
- 29:27Speaker 6: that's summertime weather here.
- 29:28Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not bad. I mean,
- 29:32Speaker 4: I mean we we kind of break Buffalo in the forties.
- 29:36Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like you know, the rain, and it's
- 29:38Speaker 4: going to be it's going to be fun to be there,
- 29:40Speaker 4: you know, to be you know, to be in it.
- 29:42Speaker 6: I don't know about how fun it's going to be
- 29:43Speaker 6: to be in New York. But yeah, all right, man,
- 29:48Speaker 6: I just want to love you show.
- 29:49Speaker 4: All right, Thanks, appreciate it. Get somebody from New Hampshire
- 29:54Speaker 4: to call. We need that's what we need in Hampshire.
- 29:56Speaker 4: But it's still awesome. Heurley from Vermont. Appreciate the call.
- 30:00Speaker 4: It's our eighth color. Now we're gonna move to hold on,
- 30:04Speaker 4: hold on. We got a text line question. I want
- 30:06Speaker 4: to make sure I get in here from This is Derek.
- 30:08Speaker 4: He's from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Should we blitz Donovan Wilson more
- 30:14Speaker 4: for the Josh Allen matchup?
- 30:16Speaker 1: I like it.
- 30:17Speaker 4: I'm fine with that curse maybe as well. Gotta do
- 30:20Speaker 4: something a little bit different that. That's the challenge. I
- 30:23Speaker 4: think it's always the challenge when you get to this
- 30:26Speaker 4: late in the season. It's you know, you want to
- 30:29Speaker 4: be a well oiled machine. You want to be able
- 30:31Speaker 4: to be doing things. You know, this is this is
- 30:34Speaker 4: what we do. We do it well and it can't
- 30:37Speaker 4: stop us, you know. But then you also want to
- 30:39Speaker 4: mix up week to week. You got to try different things.
- 30:43Speaker 4: And I think dan Quinn is great. I think I
- 30:45Speaker 4: think the best defense of the best defensive coaches. Sorry
- 30:50Speaker 4: I got thrown off here on NFL Network, I see
- 30:52Speaker 4: Quincy Carter rowing around, you know, so I see Quincy.
- 30:55Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on?
- 30:56Speaker 4: But I think the best defensive coaches are the ones
- 31:00Speaker 4: that that can figure out a way to teach it
- 31:03Speaker 4: to their team in a unique way and to make
- 31:07Speaker 4: it kind of simple for them, but not simple for
- 31:10Speaker 4: the offensive coordinators and the quarterbacks and things to figure out.
- 31:13Speaker 4: That's that's like the key and so something like a
- 31:16Speaker 4: Donovan Wilson, you know, blitz off the edge every now
- 31:18Speaker 4: and again or right up the middle or whatever. He's
- 31:20Speaker 4: a playmaking type player. He hasn't made a ton of
- 31:23Speaker 4: plays this year. He did the other night though he played.
- 31:26Speaker 4: I thought he played his best game the other night,
- 31:28Speaker 4: and it was and it was a good good time
- 31:30Speaker 4: for that. So yeah, Donovan Wilson, he you know, got
- 31:33Speaker 4: the big contract last year. Uh and and it got
- 31:37Speaker 4: hurt in training camp and that really set him back
- 31:40Speaker 4: and opened the door for some other safeties.
- 31:42Speaker 1: But I think he's played well.
- 31:44Speaker 4: I played well the other night, and and you know,
- 31:45Speaker 4: I could see him doing something like that to kind
- 31:49Speaker 4: of mix things up, something that look that maybe Buffalo
- 31:52Speaker 4: hasn't seen. All right, let's go to Chris on the
- 31:55Speaker 4: phone line, Chris in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
- 31:58Speaker 1: It's up, Chris, Nick Nick, what's this is?
- 32:02Speaker 10: This is a real Nick eat Man.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Huh yeah it is. It is.

- 32:06Speaker 1: Next, all right, we go in the f Yeah, you.
- 32:12Speaker 10: Have answered some of my text messages, but I finally like,
- 32:15Speaker 10: you went to the bathroom or whatever y'all did to
- 32:16Speaker 10: pick your break, and I'm like I'm gonna call now
- 32:18Speaker 10: and then I got in. Anyway, Nick, I'm so excited.
- 32:21Speaker 8: Listen, listen.
- 32:22Speaker 10: I've been a Cowboy fan since I guess I was
- 32:25Speaker 10: born in nineteen sixty three in Waco, uh. And my
- 32:28Speaker 10: dad used to sit up in front of the TV
- 32:29Speaker 10: every Sunday after a church and watch the Cowboys play.
- 32:32Speaker 10: And you better hope they win because dinner was gonna
- 32:34Speaker 10: be a long dinner because it had to be real quiet.
- 32:36Speaker 5: And they lost.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Yep.
- 32:38Speaker 10: Yeah, my mother, my mom, My mom is now ill.
- 32:41Speaker 10: I heard you talking about your dad the other day,
- 32:43Speaker 10: and she's in a nursing home. She's in there for
- 32:46Speaker 10: about six six years now. But she was a huge
- 32:48Speaker 10: Cowboy fan. Yeah, and she doesn't enjoy football anymore obviously,
- 32:52Speaker 10: but one of her favorite players, and one that I met,
- 32:55Speaker 10: the all time favorite that I actually met, was Roger Staubach.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Right.
- 32:59Speaker 10: She used to say, rough, Roger Dodger, Roger Dodger, you know,
- 33:02Speaker 10: you know. And then I was always intrigued with the
- 33:03Speaker 10: man with the fedora on the sideline, like, Mom, who
- 33:05Speaker 10: is that man with a hat?
- 33:06Speaker 16: You know?
- 33:08Speaker 10: So anyway, I'm just glad to be talking to you.
- 33:11Speaker 10: It's a great show. As everyone always comments, I listened
- 33:15Speaker 10: to it every day, but I can't reach you. But anyway,
- 33:17Speaker 10: So I just wanted to get to the point. And
- 33:19Speaker 10: I've talked about this before, I've texted, but we're on
- 33:23Speaker 10: this is a historical run.
- 33:24Speaker 16: You know.
- 33:25Speaker 10: I have lived through the hard times and I have
- 33:27Speaker 10: lived through the great times, and I've seen all the
- 33:29Speaker 10: Super Bowls all my life, and you know, nothing like
- 33:33Speaker 10: the nineties, obviously, but we won a championship. And I
- 33:36Speaker 10: just remember Mike McCarthy in his conference press conference, that man,
- 33:41Speaker 10: he kind of comes from a place of family, but
- 33:43Speaker 10: he also has humility and he has great experience, and
- 33:46Speaker 10: I think it's starting to show itself. Fans just need
- 33:49Speaker 10: to hold on tight because look, we got ten wins,
- 33:52Speaker 10: we still have four games. This this is this is
- 33:55Speaker 10: a this is a historic run in the process. So
- 33:57Speaker 10: I'm just I'm a hopeful like we are every year.
- 34:00Speaker 10: But I just wanted to give my flower to go
- 34:02Speaker 10: to Mike McCarthy because last week proved the point that
- 34:05Speaker 10: no matter what, no matter you know, whether his illness
- 34:08Speaker 10: or whatever, the man was on the field, and I
- 34:10Speaker 10: think this team is following him.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. So it's a.
- 34:14Speaker 10: Great it's a great run. We're we're we're we're we're
- 34:16Speaker 10: experiencing a historical run in the process. And that's that's
- 34:19Speaker 10: what I.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Had to say.
- 34:20Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think I think you're right. I think
- 34:23Speaker 4: I think Mike McCarthy is is shown to be a
- 34:25Speaker 4: really good leader. And sometimes the best leaders are the
- 34:29Speaker 4: ones that make sure they have a lot of followers.
- 34:31Speaker 4: And I'm not talking about on Twitter. I'm talking about
- 34:34Speaker 4: people that actually follow them. And uh, I think you're right.
- 34:37Speaker 4: I think this team kind of does. They follow his lead.
- 34:39Speaker 4: And you know, he's a tough, tough guy from Pittsburgh,
- 34:43Speaker 4: you know, and and he's showing it. He's showing it
- 34:45Speaker 4: here for this team and he's got to He's built
- 34:47Speaker 4: a tough football team as well.
- 34:50Speaker 10: So that press conference right after the San Francisco lost,
- 34:54Speaker 10: I saw a man that was down, like he looked
- 34:56Speaker 10: down at himself. He's like, what am I going to do?
- 34:59Speaker 10: And it's it seems like ever since that was the
- 35:01Speaker 10: pivotal point where we have started to see what we're
- 35:05Speaker 10: seeing right.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Now on the field. And and thanks for the call, Chris,
- 35:08Speaker 4: appreciate that. I'll kind of add to that as well.
- 35:12Speaker 1: What did they do.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Well, what they did was is they went back to
- 35:16Speaker 4: the drawing board. They said, all right, let's let's change
- 35:19Speaker 4: some things up. We got a game and then and
- 35:21Speaker 4: then we got the buy. We got the Charger game,
- 35:23Speaker 4: then we got to buy, and we're gonna what are
- 35:25Speaker 4: we gonna do? How are we going to you know,
- 35:27Speaker 4: make them some changes? Uh, you can't do a lot.
- 35:30Speaker 4: I mean, as far as personnel goes, this is your team.
- 35:33Speaker 4: So what did they do? They they switched things up.
- 35:36Speaker 4: They listened, ceedee, Lamb wants the football.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Cool.
- 35:40Speaker 4: Michael Ivans wanted the football too, so did Dez. You
- 35:42Speaker 4: know a good way to kind of shut them up.
- 35:44Speaker 4: Throw them the ball. Throw the ball. Get them the football.
- 35:47Speaker 4: They're wearing eighty eight for a reason. Get them the football.
- 35:50Speaker 4: And this is how we're going to get them in
- 35:52Speaker 4: the football. Let's put them in motion. Let's put Cooks
- 35:55Speaker 4: in motion, let's get let's let's move these guys around
- 35:58Speaker 4: a little bit. Because we're right into the scheme here.
- 36:01Speaker 4: They played right into the forty nine ers hands. So
- 36:04Speaker 4: now they're going to switch things up. Now we're going
- 36:06Speaker 4: to go on and put these guys on the move. Now,
- 36:08Speaker 4: you don't know exactly where these guys are going to be.
- 36:11Speaker 4: They made adjustments. That's what coaches do sometimes. You know,
- 36:14Speaker 4: he was maybe he was defeated, but he wasn't down
- 36:16Speaker 4: to the point where he's not going to make a change.
- 36:19Speaker 4: And I thought, you know, he did. You know, I
- 36:20Speaker 4: thought that this whole offense has done a really good
- 36:22Speaker 4: job of kind of seeing, all right, this is how
- 36:24Speaker 4: teams are playing us, this is how we're going to react,
- 36:27Speaker 4: and it's always at cat and mouse game. I wanted
- 36:32Speaker 4: to do another shout out as well. I got a
- 36:36Speaker 4: message off of ex Twitter the other day from Roger Miller.
- 36:41Speaker 4: He's talking about his mother who passed away. I think
- 36:45Speaker 4: her name is Gene. She goes by Nan, eighty five
- 36:48Speaker 4: years old. She passed away just this week.
- 36:51Speaker 1: EMMITTT.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Smith was absolutely her favorite player. They went to the
- 36:55Speaker 4: Hall of Fame ceremony when he was inducted to the
- 36:57Speaker 4: Hall of Fame and she won a football, the Hall
- 37:00Speaker 4: of Fame football, and she just passed away. I guess
- 37:04Speaker 4: it was just right after the Eagles game because her son,
- 37:07Speaker 4: Roger Miller, said that he whispered in her ear that
- 37:10Speaker 4: we won, we won it all, we won the game,
- 37:13Speaker 4: and that was probably one of his last visits with her.
- 37:17Speaker 4: You know, it's it's amazing. Sometimes we just think it's
- 37:20Speaker 4: it's football, guys, it's football, but it's not. Though, this
- 37:23Speaker 4: is a way of life. It's a way of life.
- 37:25Speaker 4: If this is if you're fully invested into your team,
- 37:28Speaker 4: whatever it is, if it's the Cowboys, if it's your
- 37:30Speaker 4: college team, if it's both, whatever it is, it's your passion,
- 37:34Speaker 4: it's your life. It becomes your family's passion, and it
- 37:37Speaker 4: bonds people together. So why Thanksgiving games are so memorable
- 37:42Speaker 4: because you know, you're usually with your family and that
- 37:45Speaker 4: story that the guy just said just just just now.
- 37:49Speaker 4: I mean, Chris, I think was it that just said,
- 37:52Speaker 4: you know, sitting there with his dad in the living room,
- 37:55Speaker 4: and that's what it was. And you know, I mean,
- 37:58Speaker 4: that's that's that's what, that's what being a fan is
- 38:01Speaker 4: all about. So sorry for your loss there, Roger, but
- 38:06Speaker 4: but you know, yeah, I think you're you're.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Carrying on that cowboy tradition for sure. So awesome.
- 38:12Speaker 4: All right, let's go text question here from Arthur. He's
- 38:15Speaker 4: from Spring Texas. He said, and I'm glad the league
- 38:18Speaker 4: is looking at removing the hip drag tackle. And I
- 38:21Speaker 4: said something about hips earlier. I wasn't really referring to that,
- 38:24Speaker 4: but yes, the hip drag tackle that cost Tony Pollard
- 38:28Speaker 4: the season and maybe cost the Cowboys the season last year.
- 38:32Speaker 4: That that's the type of play it's going to be
- 38:35Speaker 4: hard to I think it's gould be hard to enforce
- 38:37Speaker 4: the way I mean because sometimes football happened so fast.
- 38:41Speaker 4: You know, we we always see they slow it down
- 38:43Speaker 4: on replay, and it can look one way, but we've
- 38:45Speaker 4: got to remember how quick things guys can bring, you know,
- 38:49Speaker 4: bring guys down. I'll say this, the Cowboys would have
- 38:54Speaker 4: won a game last year had jay Ron Curse done that.
- 38:57Speaker 4: If jay Ron Curse had tackled the tight end from Jacksonville,
- 39:03Speaker 4: Evan Ingram, if he would have tackled him out of
- 39:06Speaker 4: bounds like that or before he would went out of
- 39:10Speaker 4: bounds and just brought him down to the ground forcefully
- 39:14Speaker 4: that he stays in bounds. They have they have to,
- 39:17Speaker 4: you know, burn their last time out and then they're
- 39:19Speaker 4: not gonna be able to go get kick a field goal.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Probably that would have won the game. So you know,
- 39:25Speaker 4: he didn't do that, and you sometimes but my point
- 39:29Speaker 4: is is some of these defensive guys that they think,
- 39:31Speaker 4: at all costs, just get the guy down. She get
- 39:32Speaker 4: the guy on the ground, make sure he doesn't score.
- 39:35Speaker 4: And sometimes guys are getting hurt from that, uh, that
- 39:37Speaker 4: type of tackle. All right, let's let's kind of pick
- 39:40Speaker 4: things up a little bit. Chris in San Angelo, Texas.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Hello, how you doing.
- 39:47Speaker 15: Hey, I'm doing well. Nick, you're doing all right? Yeah,
- 39:49Speaker 15: I'm good, good, good, Thanks for having me on. Look,
- 39:53Speaker 15: I just had two things I was wondering. I don't
- 39:57Speaker 15: know if it's been brought up this week, because I haven't.
- 40:00Speaker 15: This is my first time to be able to get
- 40:02Speaker 15: on or watch Al Harris. I've noticed he's been getting
- 40:06Speaker 15: some some notoriety from around the league. I've heard his
- 40:10Speaker 15: name twice on the NFL network during this week.
- 40:14Speaker 12: Okay, what is your level of.
- 40:16Speaker 15: Concern with him, maybe you know, going off to greener
- 40:21Speaker 15: pastors or something to be as in like a coordinator coordinator.
- 40:30Speaker 4: I mean, if it's like, you know, if Dan Quinn left,
- 40:34Speaker 4: you know, he could be like the DC for him.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Maybe.
- 40:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think I think that would be
- 40:39Speaker 4: a concern. I mean it is a concern because you know,
- 40:43Speaker 4: we haven't seen the cornerbacks make this many plays in
- 40:46Speaker 4: a long time. I mean, let's go back and look
- 40:48Speaker 4: at twenty twenty one to now. I mean, I mean,
- 40:53Speaker 4: cornerback has eleven interceptions, and then last year a rookie
- 40:59Speaker 4: fifth round pick gets five to lead the team, and
- 41:02Speaker 4: then the next year that that same guy in the
- 41:05Speaker 4: second year has eight with with five touchdowns. I mean,
- 41:09Speaker 4: we haven't seen corners make this many plays. And I
- 41:12Speaker 4: think assistant coaches don't get enough credit. And I think
- 41:16Speaker 4: a guy that's played in the league and played with
- 41:18Speaker 4: the swag that Al Harris played, I think he deserves
- 41:20Speaker 4: a lot of attention.
- 41:22Speaker 15: Yes, sir, well, I want him to get the attention.
- 41:25Speaker 15: I just don't want him to lead.
- 41:26Speaker 9: Sure.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Sure.
- 41:27Speaker 16: The only The only other thing I had.
- 41:29Speaker 15: Is a very random question. I know everybody's been talking
- 41:33Speaker 15: about the weather this week. So since I know that
- 41:38Speaker 15: you spent a lot of time in Oklahoma and then
- 41:42Speaker 15: you went to Wichita Falls for a higher education, what's
- 41:47Speaker 15: the closest you've ever tornad?
- 41:49Speaker 4: You're gonna ask about tornado, aren't you, Yes, yes, which
- 41:52Speaker 4: the Falls is known for one in ninety.
- 41:57Speaker 5: Yeah, I was.
- 41:57Speaker 15: Wondering what the closest you've ever yeah, yeah, it was.
- 42:02Speaker 4: It felt like in Oklahoma, it felt like it happened
- 42:07Speaker 4: a lot like like you know, always a scare about it.
- 42:10Speaker 4: And so I'll admit when I was younger, man, I
- 42:13Speaker 4: did not I did not.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Like weather at all.
- 42:16Speaker 4: I was always afraid of of tornado, always afraid of that,
- 42:19Speaker 4: you know, I just because living there you seem to
- 42:23Speaker 4: hear stories and stuff like that. Uh well, I'll say this,
- 42:28Speaker 4: I don't know if it was I don't know if
- 42:30Speaker 4: it's a tornado, what what it was actually officially called.
- 42:37Speaker 4: But I mean I was in I was in the Cowboys.
- 42:40Speaker 1: You know, a bubble if you will, that that collapsed.
- 42:44Speaker 4: Here and uh uh two thousand and nine, you may
- 42:49Speaker 4: second two thousand and nine. I was there for that,
- 42:51Speaker 4: and uh that was I don't know. I think it
- 42:55Speaker 4: was called it was a microburst or something.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, that's what.
- 42:58Speaker 4: It was officially called. But all I know is I
- 43:01Speaker 4: was in a building and then the building was on
- 43:03Speaker 4: the ground. I mean that's so that was. That was
- 43:05Speaker 4: the scariest moment that I've been in.
- 43:07Speaker 1: And so I don't know.
- 43:08Speaker 4: There wasn't really called a tornado, but it did tornado
- 43:11Speaker 4: damage and uh well, still does you know still it's
- 43:15Speaker 4: still you know there's people.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Still hurt from that.
- 43:18Speaker 15: Well, yeah, microburse caused a really historic crash at the
- 43:23Speaker 15: FW not too long about eighty five, I think. But anyway, I.
- 43:28Speaker 1: Had Yeah, thank you.
- 43:32Speaker 4: Uh tell mixed shots that we're talking weather over here.
- 43:36Speaker 1: I know they that they're they're kind of.
- 43:38Speaker 4: The weather podcast of the group, but we're talking little
- 43:42Speaker 4: weather here. All right, let's go to Sebastian and Savannah Georgia.
- 43:47Speaker 4: So I'm good, How are you very well?
- 43:52Speaker 10: I got to tell you, if I was suspicious.
- 43:54Speaker 18: I'd probably be wearing my Cowboys put a lot more often.
- 43:57Speaker 10: I got in on the first ring kind of major trade.
- 44:00Speaker 18: Professional day Trader and Bigel Gunner had a major trade
- 44:03Speaker 18: going through. So if I was suspicious, I definitely keep
- 44:05Speaker 18: this Cowboys he on.
- 44:07Speaker 16: But I am not.
- 44:08Speaker 18: You know, the recipes successful. This team was a bunch
- 44:11Speaker 18: of guys having babies and our coach getting at a
- 44:13Speaker 18: bed taking out.
- 44:15Speaker 7: It's amazing.
- 44:16Speaker 18: This has been a very fun season for Yeah.
- 44:19Speaker 4: There's a lot of things happening here this Yeah, you're right.
- 44:22Speaker 4: There's like a different storyline every week, which is awesome
- 44:25Speaker 4: because it should be a podcast called storyline that would
- 44:28Speaker 4: be storylines in the storyline.
- 44:30Speaker 18: But the cool thing is what you're really saying is
- 44:32Speaker 18: just the maturation of the people on this team. You're
- 44:35Speaker 18: seeing a lot of guys step up in big ways.
- 44:37Speaker 18: You're seeing that hit year eight. If you remember when
- 44:39Speaker 18: Romo hit around the same time, he really started cooking
- 44:42Speaker 18: on the technical side of football. You know, he had
- 44:44Speaker 18: worked on his release and everything like that, and everything
- 44:46Speaker 18: was growing.
- 44:47Speaker 10: So I'm gonna give a quick progress report on the
- 44:49Speaker 10: Buffalo Bills and what they're gonna say have going on.
- 44:52Speaker 18: They've been very consistent. But you know, the whole Cowboys
- 44:54Speaker 18: parody comes into play. When you play the Cowboys, We're
- 44:57Speaker 18: going to get everybody's best game. So the question is
- 45:00Speaker 18: can their best game defeat us? And I believe the
- 45:03Speaker 18: answer is yes. But I don't think that this is
- 45:05Speaker 18: a team that's gonna take them lightly coming in just
- 45:07Speaker 18: because they've been sliding a couple of games. And I
- 45:09Speaker 18: do think that we get out the win. I think
- 45:10Speaker 18: that this is probably gonna be a little closer than
- 45:13Speaker 18: the Philly game was. I did call that Philly was
- 45:15Speaker 18: going to have a struggle to hit eighteen points. I
- 45:17Speaker 18: think this one ends about twenty four, twenty eight, twenty
- 45:22Speaker 18: four to twenty eight Cowboys.
- 45:23Speaker 1: All right, all right, you gotta.
- 45:25Speaker 18: Have a great day.
- 45:25Speaker 4: I appreciate that. All right, good stuff, it's stuff from Sebastian.
- 45:31Speaker 4: Good luck with the day trading. As you said, all right,
- 45:35Speaker 4: I think that'll we have one more caller. We're gonna
- 45:37Speaker 4: sneak one more caller and we're gonna finish this up. Chris,
- 45:40Speaker 4: he's in Charlotte, North Carolina.
- 45:43Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up?
- 45:45Speaker 10: What's up?
- 45:46Speaker 6: Nick?
- 45:46Speaker 16: Man?
- 45:47Speaker 7: Hey, this is my second time call, and surprise I
- 45:49Speaker 7: got on. I called the first time after the San
- 45:52Speaker 7: Francisco game, and you know, told everybody to keep their
- 45:55Speaker 7: head up man because Big Mike had a lot of
- 45:57Speaker 7: stuff for the store and Man had to come to
- 45:59Speaker 7: it for wish. I just want, I just want to
- 46:01Speaker 7: make a bold statement.
- 46:02Speaker 15: Man.
- 46:02Speaker 7: I'm I've been watching us for a long time. I
- 46:05Speaker 7: just like what we look like from top to bottom.
- 46:07Speaker 7: I like our depth. I like to play calls, and
- 46:10Speaker 7: I like the attitude. I like the physicalness. I'm gonna
- 46:12Speaker 7: make a bold statement Cowboys. Bryan injuries. Cowboys are definitely
- 46:18Speaker 7: going to the Super Bowl this year, and we'll be
- 46:20Speaker 7: in multiple Super Bowls for the next two three years.
- 46:24Speaker 7: Dan Quinn isn't going anywhere we go. We got to
- 46:27Speaker 7: stay locked down for a few.
- 46:28Speaker 4: Years, Nick, Right, right, We're don't win the Super Bowl,
- 46:33Speaker 4: but dan Quinn's not going anywhere.
- 46:35Speaker 5: What's that now?
- 46:36Speaker 4: So you think the Cowboys will win the super Bowl,
- 46:38Speaker 4: but dan Quinn won't go anywhere?
- 46:40Speaker 7: Exactly?
- 46:41Speaker 9: You heard it.
- 46:41Speaker 5: You heard it.
- 46:42Speaker 7: You heard what I said, Nick, You heard what I said?
- 46:44Speaker 5: Why?
- 46:45Speaker 7: Like, we can get into this all day, but why
- 46:47Speaker 7: if they win the Super Bowl? Dan Quinn's in the
- 46:50Speaker 7: absolutely best position he can ask Jerry open up the floodgates.
- 46:55Speaker 7: Let him build his own defense.
- 46:57Speaker 5: He has.
- 46:57Speaker 7: Michael Parsons, I mean, where else.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Would you want to go to a place where you're
- 47:01Speaker 1: the head coach?
- 47:02Speaker 7: What did you have a job for six months?
- 47:05Speaker 1: Nah? I mean you know you go to the right spot,
- 47:07Speaker 1: You go to.
- 47:08Speaker 7: A right right spot. Yeah, but I don't. I just
- 47:10Speaker 7: don't see it.
- 47:11Speaker 5: We'll see see.
- 47:13Speaker 4: I mean, I hear what you're saying, and I think
- 47:15Speaker 4: part of you saying that basically out of your own
- 47:17Speaker 4: you know wish.
- 47:18Speaker 1: But I mean you got to remember, I mean.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Everybody's got pride, everybody you know, you you want to
- 47:23Speaker 4: be at the top. You want to you want to
- 47:26Speaker 4: run your show, you know, and and he's done it.
- 47:30Speaker 1: He's done it. He was close, you know, I mean
- 47:32Speaker 1: he's close.
- 47:33Speaker 4: Dan Quinn is the head coach for a team that
- 47:35Speaker 4: lost twenty eight to three a twenty eight to three
- 47:37Speaker 4: lead in the Super Bowl, and and he's he's obviously
- 47:41Speaker 4: an outstanding defensive coordinator. But I guarantee there's a part
- 47:44Speaker 4: of him that's like, you know what, I can do this,
- 47:47Speaker 4: you know I can. I mean Bill Belichick coached the
- 47:49Speaker 4: what he coached the Browns, I mean, you know they
- 47:51Speaker 4: were okay. Pete Carroll coached the Jets, I think, or
- 47:55Speaker 4: the Patriots, you know, and then he went to college
- 47:58Speaker 4: and came back. I mean, you know it happened where
- 48:00Speaker 4: you coach and your first time around and then you're
- 48:03Speaker 4: by your second time around, you're doing it totally differently.
- 48:07Speaker 4: I guarantee you he wouldn't be worth his salt if
- 48:09Speaker 4: he didn't, if there wasn't a part of him that
- 48:11Speaker 4: wants to be a head coach again. So if they
- 48:13Speaker 4: win a Super Bowl, then I could certainly see that happening.
- 48:16Speaker 4: I mean, it'll probably happen after this year.
- 48:19Speaker 1: Anyways, I think.
- 48:21Speaker 7: We'll see. I just think they're just trying to poach,
- 48:23Speaker 7: you know, they're trying to, like to call it said
- 48:25Speaker 7: about what Harris, the the two b of coach like
- 48:29Speaker 7: they try to coach. Of course they want to poast
- 48:31Speaker 7: dan Quinn because I don't know. I just I just
- 48:34Speaker 7: think he's in the best position and I kind of
- 48:36Speaker 7: get the vibe from him just watching interviews and watching
- 48:39Speaker 7: how he talks that he he doesn't have as strong
- 48:41Speaker 7: an interest to be head coach, Like when they asked
- 48:43Speaker 7: him about you know, you're gonna feel him for Big
- 48:45Speaker 7: Mic if he's out. He's like, nah, well let's see,
- 48:48Speaker 7: let's see if he's back first and get into back.
- 48:50Speaker 7: So that just kind of vibes out yet. But man,
- 48:52Speaker 7: you may be right, but you know, I'm hopeful that
- 48:55Speaker 7: they can lot this thing down for you know, three years. Man.
- 48:58Speaker 1: All right, well, all right, thanks, thank you for the call.
