- 0:43Speaker 3: game last night. If that's the way this football season
- 0:48Speaker 3: is gonna go, bring it, I'm here for it. That
- 0:52Speaker 3: was that was awesome if you were a fan of football,
- 0:56Speaker 3: if you were a Chiefs fan, and then that's that's
- 1:00Speaker 3: probably even better. Ravens fan not so much. You know,
- 1:03Speaker 3: game of inches, always has been, always will be. And
- 1:07Speaker 3: that was That was insane, insane game there. All I
- 1:11Speaker 3: can think of is really is Peyton Hindershot on the
- 1:13Speaker 3: sideline pushing people around, protecting this quarterback that he just met,
- 1:17Speaker 3: which is awesome. But great game nonetheless, and we'll see
- 1:21Speaker 3: how that goes as far as a theme for the
- 1:24Speaker 3: rest of the season. All Right, It's September the sixth,
- 1:28Speaker 3: nine six, and it's ten o'clock. But eight is the
- 1:33Speaker 3: number that I'm looking at right now because eight is
- 1:36Speaker 3: the age of Logan Beam, Chris Beam's son. That's right,
- 1:41Speaker 3: eight years old today today. All right, happy birthday. He's
- 1:45Speaker 3: been on this this set before. We actually did a

- 2:13Speaker 4: Heyck? How you doing?
- 2:14Speaker 3: How are you? This is the second time I feel
- 2:17Speaker 3: I actually answered the phone earlier back in the back.
- 2:20Speaker 3: That's rare, but I did. I answered. I had no
- 2:22Speaker 3: idea how to work the whole button or any of
- 2:24Speaker 3: that stuff. I know how to pick it up and
- 2:26Speaker 3: say hello. And I got to talk to Irene. I
- 2:28Speaker 3: read what's up?
- 2:29Speaker 4: But I messed you up? I thought you were Chris
- 2:31Speaker 4: for a second, I have a special guest here. Say hi, Hi, Hi,

- 2:42Speaker 5: Are the Cowboys going to win this weekend?
- 2:45Speaker 4: Yep? All right, there you go, professional score production.
- 2:48Speaker 3: More importantly, more importantly than that, can I ask her
- 2:52Speaker 3: a question? How how are you feeling?
- 2:55Speaker 4: How's a question for you?
- 2:57Speaker 3: How are you feeling?
- 3:00Speaker 4: How you feeling?
- 3:00Speaker 7: Most?
- 3:01Speaker 4: Okay, You're on the right path?
- 3:09Speaker 3: All right? All right, that's good. That's good. Hope. See,
- 3:12Speaker 3: hopefully she feels better. At least at least he's able
- 3:15Speaker 3: to tackle the phone today this morning, so that's good.
- 3:18Speaker 3: I know she's been she's been not feeling so great,
- 3:20Speaker 3: so hopefully she is doing better.
- 3:22Speaker 4: So as a friend of mine, Oh okay, I gotta
- 3:26Speaker 4: be quick, we're out of the appointment. But uh, you know,
- 3:28Speaker 4: hype for the game. Honestly, when I went through I
- 3:31Speaker 4: have the Cowboy ten and seven. This was one that
- 3:33Speaker 4: I it's a toss up for me, but I will
- 3:37Speaker 4: say the injury to the left tackle and then the
- 3:41Speaker 4: other I think it's another offensive line than coming back
- 3:43Speaker 4: from injury. That gives me some confidence that Micah and
- 3:48Speaker 4: Tank and Kneeland are going to have a good Yeah. Okay,
- 3:51Speaker 4: so you know, hopefully it's the Cowboys win and that
- 3:54Speaker 4: toss up becomes a win for me. Anyway, got you quick,
- 3:57Speaker 4: gotta go.
- 3:58Speaker 6: Thanks you so much.
- 3:59Speaker 3: You appreciate that. I know, I know. If I was
- 4:03Speaker 3: taking my mother to the doctor for an appointment, I
- 4:07Speaker 3: just I don't think I would be calling in and
- 4:10Speaker 3: and and to a to a show just to talk
- 4:12Speaker 3: about the game. I love that. I'm just saying people
- 4:16Speaker 3: are better than me. That that is awesome. That's why
- 4:18Speaker 3: I love I love doing this show because it's just
- 4:20Speaker 3: it's he never sees to amaze me. This is great.
- 4:23Speaker 3: All right, all right? What else is great? We got
- 4:27Speaker 3: Joe in Stanford, but I haven't said that in so long.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Joe and Stanford on the line. Is that right? What
- 4:36Speaker 3: is going on?
- 4:39Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm out of work today, So man, I knew
- 4:43Speaker 6: I had to call a storylines.
- 4:44Speaker 3: You did. I did. I got to meet you not
- 4:48Speaker 3: too long ago when you're here for practice and we've
- 4:50Speaker 3: done some some text line questions. But it's good to
- 4:53Speaker 3: have you on the phone.
- 4:54Speaker 6: Absolutely.
- 4:55Speaker 8: Man.
- 4:55Speaker 6: It's great to be here and it was good to
- 4:56Speaker 6: meet you. Man. I've been wondering there for a long time.
- 4:58Speaker 6: So first I wanted to say hello to Irene. I've
- 5:03Speaker 6: hooked up with her on the X account that you
- 5:05Speaker 6: talked about the other day with the guy from was
- 5:08Speaker 6: it Florida?
- 5:10Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, storyliners.
- 5:11Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'm starting to get hooked
- 5:14Speaker 6: up with that. I wish I had known about that
- 5:16Speaker 6: fantasy football league. I got sure what. I tried to
- 5:19Speaker 6: hop on that maybe next year huh yeah.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it'll be a whole league that they can
- 5:25Speaker 3: figure that out, different divisions and stuff like that.
- 5:28Speaker 6: Who knows, right, I'm so a few things. First of all,
- 5:33Speaker 6: I think that our offensive line is going to shock
- 5:36Speaker 6: people this year. I really feel good about the rookies
- 5:42Speaker 6: and if Terrence Steele can get back to maybe ninety
- 5:45Speaker 6: percent of what he was a couple of years ago
- 5:47Speaker 6: before the knee injury, I just think we have something
- 5:51Speaker 6: really good going. I think it could be sort of
- 5:53Speaker 6: similar to the twenty sixteen offensive line. I'm hoping I
- 5:57Speaker 6: really see that. I think maybe is a for just
- 6:00Speaker 6: run blocker, and I think he's only going to get
- 6:01Speaker 6: better every game. So and I think this draft is
- 6:06Speaker 6: going to be one of the best drafts we ever had.
- 6:08Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know that for sure, and it
- 6:09Speaker 6: always has to pan out, but man, it looks cool
- 6:12Speaker 6: to me and I'm excited. I'm not going to have
- 6:14Speaker 6: a prediction on the game. Uh, just that we win.
- 6:17Speaker 6: That's all I'm gonna say.
- 6:19Speaker 3: We win. Okay, love it. Uh, That's that's kind of
- 6:23Speaker 3: the way I think as well. Thanks Joe for Carlin
- 6:26Speaker 3: you too. Sorry. I'm trying to get a whole beam here.
- 6:33Speaker 3: If if they if they can get those guys blocked
- 6:36Speaker 3: up front, that's that is obviously. I mean, if you
- 6:39Speaker 3: could say that about any game really, in any team,
- 6:42Speaker 3: the high school games, tonight, college games tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday games,
- 6:47Speaker 3: Monday night game, you know, get them blocked up front,
- 6:49Speaker 3: and you can do a lot of things if you get.
- 6:51Speaker 3: If you can't, then you're not going to function at all.
- 6:53Speaker 3: So you can always say that about the offensive line.
- 6:55Speaker 3: But I do think that it's kind of what's going
- 6:57Speaker 3: to trigger everything this year is is how they get
- 7:01Speaker 3: that get get get it blocked up front. How it
- 7:05Speaker 3: affects the run game, how it affects DA's comfort level
- 7:08Speaker 3: in the pocket, how they can function and throw throw
- 7:11Speaker 3: the ball, around the yard. I think it starts there.
- 7:14Speaker 3: And you know, and as Irene pointed out too, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 3: the Browns have their problems on the line, so you know,
- 7:21Speaker 3: I just feel like it's going to be one of
- 7:23Speaker 3: those games, uh, that that the O line play is
- 7:26Speaker 3: going to affect anything in everything there all right, having
- 7:31Speaker 3: a little bit of technical issues, I think I'll tell
- 7:34Speaker 3: you we have two lines open right now eight eight
- 7:36Speaker 3: eight eight five five to two ninety seven. Let's you
- 7:39Speaker 3: have to follow. Okay, we're having some issues with our
- 7:42Speaker 3: communication here on this iPad. Chris, who do you got online? Randy?
- 7:46Speaker 3: And who's that?
- 7:49Speaker 6: That is?
- 7:50Speaker 1: Me?
- 7:50Speaker 6: Sir?
- 7:50Speaker 7: Hey, I'll tell you what if you don't get in early,
- 7:53Speaker 7: and you've done it again this morning, but if you
- 7:55Speaker 7: don't get in early, would be called you run out
- 7:57Speaker 7: of questions because everybody's turning it. Your audience is getting wider,
- 8:01Speaker 7: because yesterday I was telling myself, I said, so if
- 8:06Speaker 7: Nick answers, I'm gonna bring up Bee Liman that's not
- 8:09Speaker 7: even on the team, and everything fits out of Well
- 8:11Speaker 7: that was taken from me, and then I was like, well,
- 8:14Speaker 7: I guess I'll talk about it. Probably gonna be one
- 8:17Speaker 7: in the trenches and the low score game. Well, hell,
- 8:19Speaker 7: you took that one from me. So I was like,
- 8:20Speaker 7: you know what, if Chris ply answers, I'll just say, well,
- 8:25Speaker 7: hell that was taken from me too, So I don't
- 8:28Speaker 7: know what else talking about soil the game happens.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Man, we did have an interesting show, didn't we. Yeah, well,
- 8:36Speaker 3: when this calls over, I'm going to bring that up
- 8:38Speaker 3: one more time. Actually, I'm not going to bring it
- 8:42Speaker 3: up yet. I just remembered something. I forgot my prop
- 8:46Speaker 3: but yes, okay, go to your question, Brandy, go your question.
- 8:50Speaker 7: I was just gonna go to predictions, and I'm gonna
- 8:55Speaker 7: say that Dallas is gonna probably score some points, Cleaveland's
- 8:58Speaker 7: gonna probably score some points. I'm gonna win, and for
- 9:01Speaker 7: the season, Dallas is gonna play all their games until
- 9:05Speaker 7: it's over. And about half of you you're gonna be
- 9:07Speaker 7: pissed and half of you you're gonna be happy. And
- 9:09Speaker 7: I guess I'll leave you with this. What's what's more
- 9:14Speaker 7: important than the first invention of the first telephone? What
- 9:18Speaker 7: the invention of the second telephone?
- 9:20Speaker 3: Okay, that boy, good, nice joke there. That reminds me
- 9:28Speaker 3: of Jerry's joke that he would always say, always when
- 9:31Speaker 3: the when the when the people were showing people the stadium, uh,
- 9:35Speaker 3: and they couldn't get over how how big the scoreboard was,
- 9:39Speaker 3: the the you know right there the screen right and
- 9:42Speaker 3: he was like, there's only one other like that in
- 9:45Speaker 3: the world, Like really, yeah, he's like the other side.
- 9:48Speaker 5: Uh.
- 9:49Speaker 3: And that would be his joke, And that reminds me
- 9:52Speaker 3: of that one.

- 11:43Speaker 6: Man?
- 11:44Speaker 7: Game week?
- 11:45Speaker 11: Let's get it.
- 11:46Speaker 12: I had a question for you. Okay, and this is like,
- 11:50Speaker 12: this isn't what you think will happen. This is what
- 11:53Speaker 12: you want to happen.
- 11:54Speaker 13: All right, Okay, So it's the bar for.
- 11:57Speaker 12: These running backs of a thousand yards. If that's the goal,
- 12:00Speaker 12: would you rather see a breakout year from Deuce or
- 12:03Speaker 12: Rico or a bounce back year from either Zeke or
- 12:07Speaker 12: Dalvin could Personally, I hope ze gets the thousand, but
- 12:10Speaker 12: I'm just curious what you're thinking it.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Oh Man, that's a good question. I mean yeah, because
- 12:19Speaker 3: either way, I mean, you're you're getting the production. It's
- 12:22Speaker 3: just that just comes down to preference, you know. That's
- 12:26Speaker 3: just like it's kind of like you're on your fantasy team.
- 12:32Speaker 3: You know, your fantasy football team. It's like, who do
- 12:34Speaker 3: you want to have a forty point game? I mean,
- 12:37Speaker 3: doesn't really matter as long as someone does it, I
- 12:40Speaker 3: would lean towards, though, I would lean towards Zeke or Doubt.
- 12:48Speaker 3: I mean either either way that that that's a good
- 12:52Speaker 3: question because it's it really doesn't matter. So maybe it's
- 12:56Speaker 3: not a good question. I mean, I'm just saying because
- 13:00Speaker 3: either way, if you're getting a thousand yards, I think though,
- 13:04Speaker 3: I would lean towards Zeke and and Cook mainly because
- 13:08Speaker 3: of what else do you bring to the table, And
- 13:11Speaker 3: so a bounce back year from a guy that's been
- 13:14Speaker 3: really good, then you're bringing more things, especially from Zeke's standpoint,
- 13:19Speaker 3: you're getting a guy that can help you in a
- 13:20Speaker 3: lot of ways. He's a very good blocker in pass protection.
- 13:25Speaker 3: He picks up yardage on short you know, on third
- 13:28Speaker 3: and short and third and goal down there. But if
- 13:30Speaker 3: he's having that kind of success, that means he's also
- 13:34Speaker 3: doing other things, breaking off some some other big runs
- 13:37Speaker 3: as well. So all that being said, I mean, I
- 13:40Speaker 3: think it's it doesn't really matter as long as someone
- 13:43Speaker 3: is somebody that teams are afraid of, and that's that's
- 13:46Speaker 3: really the goal ultimately of what you're trying to do.
- 13:49Speaker 3: But I would I would pick you know, Zeke. I
- 13:52Speaker 3: would say Zeke and or Cook one of those guys,
- 13:55Speaker 3: because they've done it, they're they're they're highly productive in
- 13:58Speaker 3: the past, and if they could bring that back, then
- 14:00Speaker 3: that's just another element that teams having to worry about.
- 14:04Speaker 3: All Right, Travis in San Antonio, you are next?
- 14:08Speaker 14: Nick, what's going on?
- 14:09Speaker 3: How are you? I'm good?
- 14:11Speaker 14: Shout out to Logan, Happy birthday to him and to Beamer.
- 14:15Speaker 14: That's cool. And then I also wanted to shout out,
- 14:18Speaker 14: since it's Cleveland Week, shout out to Joe Keem Noah
- 14:21Speaker 14: for his favorite famous quote of I've never heard anybody
- 14:25Speaker 14: say I'm going to Cleveland on vacation in neither of
- 14:27Speaker 14: the Cowboys. They're going there to get a w So
- 14:30Speaker 14: shout out.
- 14:30Speaker 3: To both of them.
- 14:31Speaker 14: And then I had one observation or one thought on
- 14:35Speaker 14: offense and one on defense, and see what you think.
- 14:38Speaker 14: I'm wondering. I know they're going to have a plan
- 14:40Speaker 14: this week, right Like I know everyone is excited about
- 14:42Speaker 14: Tyler Guiden. I know we like where he's going, and
- 14:46Speaker 14: he's already proved me wrong because I can say it.
- 14:49Speaker 14: I wasn't the biggest fan of the pick, but he's
- 14:51Speaker 14: proved me wrong to this point, which is great, and
- 14:53Speaker 14: I'm rooting for him. And I do think they're gonna
- 14:55Speaker 14: have a plan obviously to deal with Miles Garrett. But
- 14:58Speaker 14: I'm wondering, Nick, if you say, think maybe this week
- 15:03Speaker 14: is gonna be I think more Jake Ferguson centric than
- 15:07Speaker 14: even Cebee Lamb. I know everyone decided about see Lamb,
- 15:09Speaker 14: but just because you know he's been there all week,
- 15:12Speaker 14: and I wonder if Mike Krty is gonna use more
- 15:14Speaker 14: two tight end sets maybe help deal with Miles in
- 15:18Speaker 14: the and help maybe establish your running game but be
- 15:20Speaker 14: able to use the tight end to help chip him
- 15:22Speaker 14: a little bit and make him have to work. So
- 15:24Speaker 14: that was my thought on offense, and then on defense,
- 15:26Speaker 14: A collar touched on it. I want to say yesterday, Nick,
- 15:30Speaker 14: or maybe two days ago, but I was wondering what
- 15:33Speaker 14: you thought, Like, I'm really interested to see how Zimber
- 15:37Speaker 14: deals with in joku, for instance, So I guess I'm
- 15:39Speaker 14: kind of tight end focused right now. I'm kind of
- 15:41Speaker 14: interested to see how the deal with in joku. I
- 15:42Speaker 14: know people have talked about Mamari and Jerry Judy, but
- 15:45Speaker 14: I want to see how they go about dealing with
- 15:47Speaker 14: in djoku, Like is it more demo in three linebacker
- 15:51Speaker 14: sets where they let him kind of just handle him,
- 15:54Speaker 14: or is it maybe they utilize like a Mukwambu who
- 15:58Speaker 14: played a lot in the slot and I know he's
- 15:59Speaker 14: the back, but you know that bigger body. I wonder
- 16:02Speaker 14: if they utilized him maybe in that matchup against Want
- 16:05Speaker 14: to see what you.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Thought, Yeah, Marquise Bell, I mean you know that's that's
- 16:09Speaker 3: another guy in there too. Yeah, I mean that's that's
- 16:13Speaker 3: the thing that they've got. Some of those pieces, like
- 16:17Speaker 3: like we saw last year with with Dan Quinn's defenses
- 16:19Speaker 3: where they were. You know, he liked to put safeties
- 16:22Speaker 3: there in a linebacker spot. But but you know, I
- 16:26Speaker 3: just and Overshown to me, I'm very curious about what
- 16:31Speaker 3: he's gonna do. I mean, I I Kaitlin Carson's a
- 16:33Speaker 3: guy we're all excited to watch and guide and and
- 16:37Speaker 3: and Bbie, but but you know, over shown, he's not
- 16:40Speaker 3: a rookie buddy. You know, basically is just because we
- 16:44Speaker 3: haven't seen him play. And so to answer your question,
- 16:46Speaker 3: I mean, I just think what makes great defensive coordinators
- 16:50Speaker 3: great is the fact that they they don't just do
- 16:53Speaker 3: one thing, and and they're going to mix it up.
- 16:55Speaker 3: You're going to see all kinds of different guys, uh
- 16:58Speaker 3: there at the linebackers. But you've got about six options
- 17:02Speaker 3: there to play those three spots. And and you know,
- 17:06Speaker 3: I think when when you throw in you know, Kendricks
- 17:09Speaker 3: and Overshown and Leah Foul and Clark and then Micah
- 17:13Speaker 3: Parsons at times, and then you know, I'm adding other
- 17:17Speaker 3: other guys in there as well, like the safeties there
- 17:21Speaker 3: mcwamo and Bell if they're active and mcwamu's got to
- 17:24Speaker 3: be active there. But but that's that's really, that's what
- 17:28Speaker 3: I'm looking at. As far as the linebackers is, they
- 17:30Speaker 3: got so many different pieces they can play on different
- 17:33Speaker 3: packages and for different down and distances. All right, all right,
- 17:37Speaker 3: let's uh, let's go to the next caller here. We've
- 17:41Speaker 3: got someone I know pretty well, doctor Sunshine and fort Worth.
- 17:48Speaker 8: Good morning.
- 17:49Speaker 3: How are you doing.
- 17:50Speaker 8: I'm doing great. I was racking my brain last night
- 17:53Speaker 8: trying to answer your question. I said, well, Nick to
- 17:56Speaker 8: know the answer, and I started to call you, but
- 17:57Speaker 8: it was two a m.
- 17:59Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, thank you, thank you for
- 18:02Speaker 3: for saving it.
- 18:04Speaker 8: Okay, I got I got it for you though. Right now,
- 18:07Speaker 8: we don't know the exact starters on Sunday, but the
- 18:11Speaker 8: projected starters. Can you tell me how many of those
- 18:14Speaker 8: players had their first training camp with the Cowboys?
- 18:19Speaker 5: Hmmm?
- 18:21Speaker 3: Out of all twenty two starters.
- 18:23Speaker 8: Yes, eighteen, I was thinking the same number.
- 18:29Speaker 7: I don't know that I don't know, But isn't.
- 18:32Speaker 8: That a high number?
- 18:33Speaker 3: Yeah? Sure, yeah, I mean we should be proud of that.
- 18:36Speaker 3: Basically home yeah, homegrown, homegrown talent that that you have there.
- 18:40Speaker 3: It's easier to probably go the other way.
- 18:44Speaker 8: So I bet, I bet a lot of teams don't
- 18:46Speaker 8: have anything close to that. I know Washington doesn't.
- 18:49Speaker 3: No, No, Washington, Yeah, Washington has a lot that probably
- 18:53Speaker 3: started out knock start. I mean that's probably where their
- 18:55Speaker 3: their training camp was. Yeah, I can, I can think
- 18:59Speaker 3: of of Cook's Cooks is is the Cooks, Kendricks and
- 19:05Speaker 3: probably one of those def tackles maybe you know, like
- 19:08Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips if he starts, or Josephs or something like that.
- 19:12Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean Anger, it's not really one of
- 19:15Speaker 3: your starters, but but he's you know, he's your punter.
- 19:17Speaker 3: But that's that's that's a good point, you know, because
- 19:21Speaker 3: what basically what you're saying is is that the Cowboys
- 19:24Speaker 3: have built this team from the core and so uh all,
- 19:28Speaker 3: unless you have a list, all I have is is.
- 19:30Speaker 11: No, I think I think you're right.
- 19:32Speaker 8: And I was just trying to figure out exactly and
- 19:35Speaker 8: heads off to Will.
- 19:36Speaker 3: Mcle Hooker, Malie Cooker, Kendricks, Cooks and a defensive tackle
- 19:44Speaker 3: like a Jordan Phillips or Linval Joseph you know. But
- 19:47Speaker 3: but they could start Mazi and Osa, which actually they
- 19:50Speaker 3: might do that, so that that that that kind of
- 19:53Speaker 3: takes the d tackle spot I've got. I've got three
- 19:56Speaker 3: guys because your entire offensive line.
- 20:00Speaker 11: Would be there.
- 20:00Speaker 3: So yeah, tied end quarterback running backs now with Zeke back,
- 20:05Speaker 3: assuming they don't start Dalvin Cook, which I doubt they will,
- 20:08Speaker 3: but yeah, Cooks, Kendricks and the leek cooker. So how
- 20:11Speaker 3: about nineteen.
- 20:12Speaker 8: Anyway, anyway, I just thought of that, and I thought
- 20:14Speaker 8: that would be hats off to us. We're doing that building.
- 20:18Speaker 3: All right, all right, talk to you later, man.
- 20:20Speaker 8: You have a great day, you too.
- 20:22Speaker 3: My dad, y'all didn't know that was my dad that called,
- 20:27Speaker 3: and I appreciate the call then and not at two am.

- 22:06Speaker 3: do another thing that we haven't done yet before. This
- 22:10Speaker 3: is a new thing we're featuring this week and is
- 22:14Speaker 3: sponsored by Yetti. YETI so if you have a yetti,
- 22:19Speaker 3: you gotta check this out here. This thing keeps it cool,
- 22:23Speaker 3: keeps it hot. Anything you want to put in here
- 22:26Speaker 3: in your drink. If you're a coffee drink drinker, which
- 22:29Speaker 3: I am not, definitely have never even tasted coffee, I
- 22:32Speaker 3: don't know what that's like, but you can put a
- 22:34Speaker 3: lot of the things in here in smoothies, keeping it cool,
- 22:37Speaker 3: keeping it hot. But what we're doing this year is
- 22:40Speaker 3: we're going to sponsor the hot take of the week.
- 22:45Speaker 3: YETI sponsors the hot take of the week. Could be
- 22:47Speaker 3: from me, could be from you, could be something that
- 22:51Speaker 3: somebody brings bring in the heat. And the spirit of
- 22:55Speaker 3: this show is to be engaged with others and hear
- 23:01Speaker 3: what you guys are thinking and actually, you know, bring
- 23:04Speaker 3: out points that people keep talking about. So I think
- 23:08Speaker 3: for sure this week's hot take of the Week goes
- 23:11Speaker 3: to my guy in Pasadena, California, Jim in Pasadena. He's
- 23:18Speaker 3: the one that started this whole thing about Justin Rodgers.
- 23:21Speaker 3: And you know what, I think the point is is,
- 23:24Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you agree with with the topic.
- 23:27Speaker 3: I didn't agree. I don't agree that losing him was
- 23:31Speaker 3: a big, big loss. We'll see, we'll find out down
- 23:34Speaker 3: the road if that's the case. But more than anything, Jim,
- 23:37Speaker 3: you brought it. You brought it, You're passionate about it.
- 23:40Speaker 3: And then what it did is that it inspired others
- 23:43Speaker 3: to talk about it. Some didn't, didn't agree, some people did.
- 23:46Speaker 3: But yet two days, three days later, we're still talking
- 23:49Speaker 3: about it. And that's happened for that is going to
- 23:52Speaker 3: be always going to be the hot take of the week.
- 23:54Speaker 3: If somebody can do something. Anthony and Miami did it
- 23:57Speaker 3: last year and this year Michael Holton California said regular
- 24:02Speaker 3: season doesn't matter and that spurred a lot of people
- 24:04Speaker 3: to jump in and call and talk about it. That
- 24:07Speaker 3: is what a real hot take is. And this week's
- 24:10Speaker 3: hot Take of the Week goes to gym in Pasadena.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Hot take sponsored by YETI gets you one of these.
- 24:15Speaker 3: We're not giving these out, sorry, it's not one of
- 24:17Speaker 3: those that we send out. You're just get your name
- 24:20Speaker 3: in the paper. That's what it is. Good job there
- 24:23Speaker 3: for Jim and Pasadena. No hard feelings, obviously, keep you
- 24:27Speaker 3: got a point like that and you're bringing it. I
- 24:29Speaker 3: love it. Call I didn't agree that. We don't have
- 24:32Speaker 3: to agree, but definitely. It was. It was a really
- 24:34Speaker 3: good It was a good take, and it was one
- 24:37Speaker 3: that that we uh certainly wanted to mention here on
- 24:42Speaker 3: the Yetti Hot Take of the Week goes to Jim
- 24:44Speaker 3: in Pasadena. All right, let's go to the caller here,
- 24:46Speaker 3: David in Fort Worth. David, what's up?
- 24:48Speaker 5: How you doing?
- 24:49Speaker 3: Nick good?
- 24:49Speaker 7: How are you pumped up?
- 24:51Speaker 6: Man?
- 24:51Speaker 5: Pumped up?
- 24:52Speaker 4: Hey?
- 24:52Speaker 9: I want to be quick.
- 24:53Speaker 5: I want to carry on a tradition that I did
- 24:54Speaker 5: last season by calling in give them my score prediction
- 24:57Speaker 5: in a crazy prediction. Okay, last season I used to
- 24:59Speaker 5: throw my wife's out there too, but she's not here
- 25:01Speaker 5: tonight or today, so she's missing out my score prediction.
- 25:05Speaker 5: I think it's going to be with the offensive line
- 25:06Speaker 5: struggles and a little bit of Russ, you know. I
- 25:08Speaker 5: think it's gonna be a little.
- 25:09Speaker 13: Bit lowish scoring.
- 25:11Speaker 5: So I want to say Dallas nineteen thirteen my crazy prediction.
- 25:14Speaker 5: I think Carson is going to get picked on.
- 25:17Speaker 11: And I think the optics may even look.
- 25:19Speaker 5: Bad at times when it's not even his fault, if
- 25:20Speaker 5: I'm not mistaken. I know Zimmer likes to run zones,
- 25:23Speaker 5: maybe cover two, cover three, so it may look like
- 25:25Speaker 5: he's and man, the man, really he's not. You know,
- 25:27Speaker 5: someone's getting behind him or something. It may look bad,
- 25:29Speaker 5: the optics may look worse than it is.
- 25:31Speaker 9: But I think he gets picked on.
- 25:32Speaker 5: But I think late in the game he gets a
- 25:34Speaker 5: big time turnover. I don't know whether it's going to be,
- 25:37Speaker 5: you know, if he skips the ball or if he
- 25:39Speaker 5: gets a pick, but I think he's gonna make a
- 25:41Speaker 5: play that's going to bolster his confidence before going into
- 25:43Speaker 5: the rest of these games where he needs to be
- 25:45Speaker 5: filling in. So short and sweet, Nick, I just wanted
- 25:47Speaker 5: to get in.
- 25:47Speaker 9: I'm super pumped up.
- 25:48Speaker 5: I appreciate you so much, and you.
- 25:49Speaker 7: Guys have a great day.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Thank you, all right. I've seen that play out a lot,
- 25:55Speaker 3: you know, with different games over the years, where a
- 25:58Speaker 3: cornerback struggles and struggle and then at the end makes
- 26:02Speaker 3: the play. I feel like Isaac Holt did that in
- 26:04Speaker 3: a game way back against the Giants one year or
- 26:08Speaker 3: yeah it was the Giants where he had been picked
- 26:10Speaker 3: on all day and he gets a pick at the
- 26:12Speaker 3: end of the game. Larry Brown had some moments like that.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Mo Claiborne, I'm talking about the player, not not the
- 26:18Speaker 3: guy at Oxnar, the actual player bro Clayborn had had
- 26:21Speaker 3: an interception in the Rams game, I believe twenty fourteen,
- 26:24Speaker 3: after he'd given up some big plays, so that that
- 26:26Speaker 3: kind of happens, and that's a sign to me of
- 26:29Speaker 3: you know, a guy, they can just stay in there.
- 26:32Speaker 3: That's what you have to do. At cornerback. You have
- 26:34Speaker 3: to have a bad memory, you have to keep playing,
- 26:36Speaker 3: you have to have confidence. You know, there's there's just
- 26:40Speaker 3: a level of swag that you have to have and
- 26:44Speaker 3: carry yourself with. And I think Kayln Carson has that.
- 26:47Speaker 3: We're gonna find out what he could do. And yeah,
- 26:49Speaker 3: they're gonna pick on him, and they should. I mean
- 26:51Speaker 3: they that's certainly what they should do. And they're probably
- 26:55Speaker 3: gonna go after Trayvon Diggs as well. I mean they
- 26:57Speaker 3: they're you know, that's that's what they're they're going to do.
- 27:00Speaker 3: But I think, how good can this pass rush be.
- 27:03Speaker 3: If this pass rush is getting after Deshaun Watson and
- 27:06Speaker 3: getting after those of those offensive tackles and the offensive line,
- 27:10Speaker 3: then I think the cornerbacks, I mean, the ball is
- 27:12Speaker 3: gonna be up there, the ball is gonna be in
- 27:13Speaker 3: the air, it's gonna be the you know there's to
- 27:15Speaker 3: take and Diggs has shown he's a playmaker when the
- 27:18Speaker 3: ball's in the air. And I saw it a few
- 27:20Speaker 3: times at camp that Kayln Carson is as well. So
- 27:22Speaker 3: we'll see. I think it'll be it'll have their moments
- 27:25Speaker 3: to Ron Bland has done that as well. Let's let's
- 27:27Speaker 3: be honest about Dron Bland is not a shutdown corner
- 27:31Speaker 3: by any means. He gives up plays, Trayvon Diggs gives
- 27:33Speaker 3: up plays, but he makes them, makes some plays too.
- 27:36Speaker 3: So you know it's what's that sign say, you don't
- 27:40Speaker 3: enter at your own risk? That's what that is. When
- 27:42Speaker 3: you're when you're throwing at those corners. Yeah, you might
- 27:44Speaker 3: be able to to get to get free of this time,
- 27:48Speaker 3: but you know every once in a while that the
- 27:50Speaker 3: dogs chasing you and and uh so you gotta be
- 27:52Speaker 3: careful for that too. All right, Rob in Vegas is next.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go, the captain. The captain speaks,
- 28:01Speaker 3: what do you got listen?
- 28:02Speaker 13: I may be the captain, but Dylan is the most
- 28:05Speaker 13: valuable player. I mean, what that guy does for the
- 28:08Speaker 13: show and for all of us is amazing. Giving up
- 28:11Speaker 13: your no no, no, no no. You could still be
- 28:17Speaker 13: the captain, you know, but you still may not be
- 28:19Speaker 13: the most valuable player.
- 28:20Speaker 3: So yeah, now that's good. Well, and a captain, a
- 28:23Speaker 3: true captain is somebody that recognizes that. Honestly, I mean
- 28:26Speaker 3: that's that's that is really true. Not to get you know,
- 28:29Speaker 3: kind of like weepy about it here, but I mean
- 28:31Speaker 3: that's that's really that's really what that is. That's what
- 28:34Speaker 3: a true captain is is you can see, you know,
- 28:36Speaker 3: who's doing well. And I love that. This is great,
- 28:39Speaker 3: But but Rob, what do you got? We all want
- 28:41Speaker 3: to hear what you think? What do you got for
- 28:43Speaker 3: this week?
- 28:45Speaker 4: Well?
- 28:45Speaker 13: I think uh, I think the first of all, I
- 28:49Speaker 13: the kickoff with the left of watching that game yesterday,
- 28:52Speaker 13: I think I was just blasted into the end zone
- 28:54Speaker 13: every time. Uh take my chances. I think the key
- 28:58Speaker 13: to this game, obviously the obvious is guiding, but I
- 29:02Speaker 13: think he'll hold his own. I think having Zeke back
- 29:06Speaker 13: helps because he's such a good blocker. He can help
- 29:10Speaker 13: out and then they could kind of do like Kansas
- 29:13Speaker 13: City Day last night, where all of a sudden the
- 29:14Speaker 13: running back would just peel out. They hit him with
- 29:17Speaker 13: a little pass. He picks up the audit I think
- 29:19Speaker 13: Turpin is going to make a big play this game.
- 29:22Speaker 13: I think they've been trying to work him in. I
- 29:25Speaker 13: mean Phebe and everybody. But I think I see Turpin
- 29:28Speaker 13: and I think, listen, they have to they have to
- 29:30Speaker 13: Showacer win.
- 29:31Speaker 3: On the road.
- 29:31Speaker 13: Let you know, last year they won't good on the road.
- 29:34Speaker 13: I think they were four and five and on grass
- 29:37Speaker 13: against good teams, they haven't been very good. So I
- 29:40Speaker 13: think they could they could correct that. I see a
- 29:42Speaker 13: twenty four to twenty win for Dallas. I think I
- 29:46Speaker 13: look at the quarterbacks even last night, Lamar Jackson is
- 29:48Speaker 13: very good, but Mahomes is better. And I'd look at
- 29:50Speaker 13: it like, uh, Deshaun Watson's good, but that's better. And
- 29:54Speaker 13: I just give the edge to the Cowboys in the quarterback,
- 29:56Speaker 13: the most important position. I see twenty four to twenty,
- 30:01Speaker 13: and I see Turpin making a big play. Whatever it is,
- 30:06Speaker 13: I think it'd be your passing game. Yeah, but listen,
- 30:09Speaker 13: I'm excited. It was a great game last night, I
- 30:11Speaker 13: mean opening night. You know what. That's why when people
- 30:15Speaker 13: say they want to get rid of Dak Presker. That's
- 30:17Speaker 13: the difference between preseason football and real football is the
- 30:21Speaker 13: quarterbacks it's all about the quarterbacks.
- 30:23Speaker 6: The quarterback play.
- 30:24Speaker 13: Last night was was great. There was just different. Lamar
- 30:28Speaker 13: does it on the ground. He missed those that wide
- 30:32Speaker 13: open throw to tide the game. But it's it's all
- 30:36Speaker 13: about the quarterback. So I said yesterday, the deal is
- 30:42Speaker 13: going to get done today with Dak. My prediction is
- 30:45Speaker 13: four years, fifty seven and a half million, one hundred
- 30:48Speaker 13: and eighty million guaranteed, and they're going to announce it today.
- 30:52Speaker 13: That's my prediction.
- 30:54Speaker 4: Fair.
- 30:55Speaker 3: I don't disagree with you. I don't. It'll yeah, it'll
- 30:59Speaker 3: it won't be in the afternoon because that I'll be
- 31:01Speaker 3: free then, but it'll be whenever I'm not free, or
- 31:04Speaker 3: it'll be something when we're driving to go to the
- 31:06Speaker 3: stadium or to go to the airport tomorrow. It'll be
- 31:08Speaker 3: something like that. But I agree with you. I think
- 31:10Speaker 3: it'll happen today.
- 31:11Speaker 13: I think they want to announce it while they're still
- 31:13Speaker 13: in in in Texas.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Wait, that's the kickoff for the Eagles and the Packers,
- 31:18Speaker 3: like whenever they're about to kick off, I could see
- 31:22Speaker 3: I could see that happen five minutes before kickoff and
- 31:25Speaker 3: in Brazil and all of a sudden Dak will dominate
- 31:29Speaker 3: the headlines here. Yeah.
- 31:31Speaker 13: Hey, and that's a great game. That's a great game
- 31:33Speaker 13: tonight because as a Cowboys fan, it's a win win.
- 31:35Speaker 13: One of these teams is going to lose tonight and
- 31:37Speaker 13: it helps us, so hopefully.
- 31:39Speaker 3: It's yeah always all right, all right, thanks for a lot,
- 31:43Speaker 3: a lot of good stuff there. Let's uh, he talked
- 31:48Speaker 3: about it, talked about the quarterback play and and yeah,
- 31:51Speaker 3: the game last night was was amazing. That's that's the
- 31:54Speaker 3: you know, the frustration I would think you might have
- 31:57Speaker 3: as a as a Ravens fan or whatever, and Cowboys
- 32:00Speaker 3: fans have it as well, you know. But like Lamar,
- 32:03Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's so fun to watch, and and
- 32:05Speaker 3: he he is an outstanding player, uh you know, better
- 32:11Speaker 3: runner obviously than he is a passer. And he had
- 32:12Speaker 3: he had the guy open there for at the end
- 32:14Speaker 3: of the game, but then he makes a throw too
- 32:16Speaker 3: at the end of the game and they just gets
- 32:18Speaker 3: taken away by millimeters there. I mean, that's that's uh,
- 32:22Speaker 3: that's sickening way to lose a game. But uh, those
- 32:25Speaker 3: two quarterbacks are are outstanding and and they're there are
- 32:28Speaker 3: two that that keep defensive coordinators awake at night, and
- 32:32Speaker 3: you know, that's the type of player you want to
- 32:34Speaker 3: be if you're a quarterback. And I think Dak can
- 32:36Speaker 3: get could be. He's he's he's pretty close to that level,
- 32:40Speaker 3: you know, and maybe not the same as Mahomes, but
- 32:42Speaker 3: I think in his own way, he's close to what
- 32:45Speaker 3: Lamar does.
- 32:46Speaker 6: Uh.
- 32:46Speaker 3: And he was close to him last year obviously, and
- 32:48Speaker 3: the MVP voting, which is kind of where you want
- 32:50Speaker 3: to be there too, all right. Zach in Atlanta, Hey,
- 32:54Speaker 3: good morning, Nick? How are you good man? How are you?
- 32:57Speaker 9: I am doing well? Feels like Christmas week in Excited
- 33:01Speaker 9: for Sunday. I've kind of been in my hiding hole
- 33:05Speaker 9: this uh, this offseason, but I'm back fired up, coming
- 33:08Speaker 9: back like h like I never left. But I've got
- 33:12Speaker 9: three quick notes. One, I do think Dak signs today,
- 33:19Speaker 9: and I think they're gonna troll the Eagles and announce
- 33:21Speaker 9: it that kickoff tonight, steal a little bit of a
- 33:24Speaker 9: spotlight and be hilarious. I mean, anytime to put down
- 33:29Speaker 9: the Eagles is a good thing. So that's my my
- 33:32Speaker 9: prediction there. And uh, second point, we know that the
- 33:38Speaker 9: Cowboys were.
- 33:39Speaker 6: Great at drafting.
- 33:39Speaker 9: We're signing our own guys. This is the homegrown philosophy
- 33:43Speaker 9: that McLay and the Joneses love, and that's a good thing.
- 33:47Speaker 9: We got CD, we got uh Dak hopefully today or
- 33:51Speaker 9: this before the season kickoff, we'll have Micah. We've got
- 33:54Speaker 9: a bunch of other guys under contracts. So I think
- 33:57Speaker 9: this season is going to be a year of the youth.
- 34:00Speaker 9: There's gonna be some growing pains, cutting of the teeth.
- 34:04Speaker 9: I think we're gonna feel kind of like, man, maybe
- 34:08Speaker 9: the twenty eighteen team, not necessarily with the youth, but man,
- 34:11Speaker 9: every game was a one possession game and it was
- 34:14Speaker 9: a it was a rough start, but we we scrapped
- 34:18Speaker 9: our way into the playoffs, and I think that's gonna
- 34:22Speaker 9: be it. Man, We've got a new line. They're young,
- 34:24Speaker 9: they're scrappy, they're tough. I think that'll be the catalyst
- 34:28Speaker 9: for a playoff run, hopefully later in the year. But yeah,
- 34:33Speaker 9: maybe like a ten and seven record going into the playoffs.
- 34:37Speaker 9: I don't know if that wins the division, but we'll
- 34:40Speaker 9: be We'll be battle tested and ready, and we need
- 34:43Speaker 9: those guys to step up. We need it, you know,
- 34:45Speaker 9: because if if we're giving out the pie to our
- 34:48Speaker 9: our stud and blue chip players. You know, we gotta
- 34:51Speaker 9: we gotta get some major contributions from the guys who
- 34:54Speaker 9: are one or two year players. And then Sunday, I'm
- 34:59Speaker 9: thinking twenty three to twenty one Brandon Aubrey field goal.
- 35:03Speaker 9: I think it's going to be a fun game. And
- 35:07Speaker 9: then any any words or thoughts on Kevin Ogletree and
- 35:11Speaker 9: the spirit of Kickoff Weekend, the Kevin Ogletree game from
- 35:16Speaker 9: a few men man twelve years ago now, But with that,
- 35:20Speaker 9: I will leave you go Cowboys, Let's enjoy the season.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Family, all right, he is Zach. All Right, that's a
- 35:25Speaker 3: lot there. Yeah. They were referring to the Ogletree game
- 35:30Speaker 3: twenty twelve where he had I call it the Ogletree game.
- 35:34Speaker 3: I mean didn't have really another one where he caught
- 35:36Speaker 3: a touchdown maybe two touchdowns in that game against the
- 35:40Speaker 3: Giants on a Wednesday Wednesday night. Against the Giants in
- 35:44Speaker 3: twenty twelve, they were the defending champs. There was a
- 35:49Speaker 3: I think Democratic convention or I don't remember exactly what
- 35:54Speaker 3: it was, but it was there was something that that
- 35:56Speaker 3: they didn't want to have the game on Thursday night.
- 35:58Speaker 3: They moved itto Wednesday you know, obviously it's like I
- 36:00Speaker 3: don't remember that part, you know that the whole world did.
- 36:04Speaker 3: But I do remember Kevin Ogletree having you know, two
- 36:06Speaker 3: catches there, two touchdowns, and he earlier in the game,
- 36:09Speaker 3: earlier in the day, he went to visit his brother
- 36:12Speaker 3: in New York who had been shot, and he visited
- 36:14Speaker 3: him in the hospital that day, and he you know,
- 36:16Speaker 3: told him, you know, inspired him have a great game,
- 36:19Speaker 3: and he did. He had a huge game, and then
- 36:21Speaker 3: he caught like a clinching touch to or catch on
- 36:24Speaker 3: you know, on a slant to basically ice the game.
- 36:28Speaker 3: So that's what I remember about Kevin Ogletree on that
- 36:31Speaker 3: Wednesday night game. I don't remember exactly why the game
- 36:33Speaker 3: was played on Wednesday and now Thursday, so that you know,
- 36:36Speaker 3: you can you can fault me from my priorities, or
- 36:38Speaker 3: if you're listening to this, you probably agree. Democratic National Convention,
- 36:41Speaker 3: Democratic National Convince Obama was talking on Thursday, so they
- 36:45Speaker 3: moved it to Wednesday. Got it. Good job, thank you, Chris.
- 36:49Speaker 3: But yeah, Ogletree, Cowboys win the game twenty four seventeen,
- 36:56Speaker 3: something like that. I don't know, it was something. It
- 36:58Speaker 3: was probably all a little bit there but I do
- 37:01Speaker 3: remember that game. Who all right, Bob and Rio grand
- 37:05Speaker 3: Valley warrant, Nick, how are you doing?
- 37:09Speaker 6: Doing great?
- 37:11Speaker 11: I did something unusual last night. Uh, unless it's unless
- 37:15Speaker 11: it's the Cowboy game. I don't watch every play in
- 37:18Speaker 11: the game, but I did in that game last night,
- 37:21Speaker 11: and a couple of observations that I made, and correct
- 37:24Speaker 11: me if I'm wrong it. Uh. I was looking at
- 37:26Speaker 11: the play of uh, the big guy, Henry, the running
- 37:31Speaker 11: back at the kind of on the back end of
- 37:33Speaker 11: his career, and uh, you saw he made a couple
- 37:36Speaker 11: of really key plays, but then a little a lot
- 37:39Speaker 11: of the two and three yards and get stuff down.
- 37:42Speaker 11: I think that's what we can expect to have a
- 37:44Speaker 11: big guy that we got that's currently in the running
- 37:48Speaker 11: back room. And the other thing that I watched with
- 37:52Speaker 11: real interest was the center for uh the Ravenimore. Yeah, yeah,
- 37:59Speaker 11: that guy. Uh. He was heralded is the next Uh.
- 38:03Speaker 11: It's like sliced bread coming out of college that he
- 38:08Speaker 11: was supposed to be the best center in the in
- 38:11Speaker 11: the nation.
- 38:11Speaker 6: And uh uh.
- 38:13Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, the Cowboys heading very high
- 38:16Speaker 11: on their draft lists, and the Baltimore traded up and
- 38:19Speaker 11: got in front of us and got the guy and
- 38:21Speaker 11: we wound up with dv Well. I saw him get
- 38:24Speaker 11: deep last night several times that uh uh he was
- 38:29Speaker 11: guilty of a holding call. Uh that uh hurt them
- 38:35Speaker 11: and so uh my point is that we've got some
- 38:41Speaker 11: young guys that playing for us starting at uh ed Cleveland,
- 38:48Speaker 11: and uh, let's don't be too hard on them, but
- 38:50Speaker 11: uh uh uh they uh they're they're going to make
- 38:55Speaker 11: their share of mistakes as they learn that. I'm looking
- 38:57Speaker 11: forward to the game. I think it's going to be
- 38:59Speaker 11: a great game. I do think that the Cowboys are
- 39:01Speaker 11: going to come out on top it. To appreciate you
- 39:04Speaker 11: taking my.
- 39:05Speaker 3: Car off, have a great weekend, all right, thank you,
- 39:08Speaker 3: appreciate the call. I'll say this, I kind of remember
- 39:13Speaker 3: that a little differently. I I because I remember asking
- 39:16Speaker 3: specifically asking the question in the press conference that year
- 39:19Speaker 3: in the draft about Lindenbaum in the center, and they
- 39:24Speaker 3: they didn't view him as highly as others others teams did.
- 39:28Speaker 3: He was he was supposed to go. He went, you know,
- 39:30Speaker 3: in the first round or whatever. The Cowboys I don't
- 39:32Speaker 3: even think had a first round great on him, and
- 39:35Speaker 3: it was kind of shocking. They liked who they had
- 39:37Speaker 3: there at center. They they didn't you know, they they
- 39:41Speaker 3: didn't really want to make changes. They thought Beattish was
- 39:44Speaker 3: was just as good. And I think he ended up
- 39:47Speaker 3: going to the Pro Bowl that season. So and and then,
- 39:50Speaker 3: to be fair, if Lennenbaum was having struggles last night
- 39:55Speaker 3: or getting called for holding, if he was going up
- 39:57Speaker 3: against Chris Jones, that's to be expected. I mean that
- 40:01Speaker 3: guy wrecks the game like he wrecks the games as important.
- 40:07Speaker 3: He's not their third best player. I could promise you
- 40:09Speaker 3: that everyone talks about Mahomes Kelsey, but but that guy
- 40:13Speaker 3: is is as important on the defense to what the
- 40:16Speaker 3: Chiefs are doing as as you can maybe argue as
- 40:20Speaker 3: Mahomes is to the offense. I mean, that's how good
- 40:22Speaker 3: he is, and so blocking him is a is a problem,
- 40:26Speaker 3: especially when he's gonna walk down the line. And as
- 40:28Speaker 3: Chris Collins were said, cherry pick on which guy you know,
- 40:31Speaker 3: I mean, basically he was like playing duck duck goose
- 40:34Speaker 3: there at the offensive line was like, uh you, I'm
- 40:36Speaker 3: going after you, okay, And and that makes everybody else
- 40:39Speaker 3: have to move and switch. But I mean a big
- 40:41Speaker 3: guy like that, that's that's gonna walk the line and
- 40:43Speaker 3: and and go and block like that's gonna be a problem.
- 40:46Speaker 3: And uh, you know, and and he was. He was
- 40:49Speaker 3: a problem. But credit the Ravens for kind of handling
- 40:51Speaker 3: it there towards the end. But boy, they certainly, certainly
- 40:55Speaker 3: he's a beast in the middle. But to your point, Uh, yeah,
- 40:59Speaker 3: the baby's gonna he's going to have some issues early on.
- 41:02Speaker 3: But you know, if they can make him, if he's
- 41:04Speaker 3: the starter and he's a good, solid player that they
- 41:07Speaker 3: got in the third round, and they were, you know,
- 41:10Speaker 3: were able. Everyone's going to be watching. And I've already
- 41:12Speaker 3: forgotten his name, the guy from Barton, Graham Barton. Everyone's
- 41:16Speaker 3: going to be seeing how he does. Remember the Cowboys
- 41:19Speaker 3: got a tackle and a center. They got two starters
- 41:22Speaker 3: for forgetting one center. I think I think it'll end
- 41:25Speaker 3: up being a better deal, all right. Mike in Birmingham, England, Mike,
- 41:28Speaker 3: what's up?
- 41:30Speaker 15: Hello, Nick? Actually not in Birmingham.
- 41:32Speaker 11: I don't know where I am.
- 41:33Speaker 15: I'm on my way up to Newcastle because it's the
- 41:36Speaker 15: world's biggest half marathon on Sunday, the Great North Run.
- 41:40Speaker 15: So I'm on my way up there.
- 41:41Speaker 3: Are you running it? Are you running where I am.
- 41:44Speaker 15: I am running in it. Yes, I'm probably not going
- 41:46Speaker 15: to win this time, but there's sixty thousand people, so
- 41:49Speaker 15: I'm hoping to be somewhere in the time half of
- 41:52Speaker 15: that time out.
- 41:53Speaker 3: You have won this marathon before?
- 41:57Speaker 15: No, No, have you ever worn no time? No, I haven't.
- 42:03Speaker 10: No.
- 42:04Speaker 15: I'm just a regular half marathon runner that will sit
- 42:08Speaker 15: in the pack and okay, you know, utile with the
- 42:11Speaker 15: atmosphere and do the best I can.
- 42:12Speaker 3: All right, Okay, well I was still going to like
- 42:15Speaker 3: applaud you for that. I thought that's what you were saying.
- 42:18Speaker 3: But but to me, like you've already won in my eyes,
- 42:21Speaker 3: when they like clip it on right there at the
- 42:24Speaker 3: on the on the shirt and they give you the
- 42:26Speaker 3: actual tag whatever that that's called. That that's more than
- 42:29Speaker 3: I've ever done. So hey, I applaud you for that.
- 42:32Speaker 3: Good luck in the race. Stay hydrated? Is that is
- 42:35Speaker 3: that something to say? I don't know, running advice?
- 42:38Speaker 15: Yeah?
- 42:38Speaker 3: Seriously, Yeah, good Lucke.
- 42:40Speaker 15: Definitely. I'm not expecting Newcastle to be very warm, so
- 42:45Speaker 15: hopefully that will be in our favor, and then it's
- 42:47Speaker 15: a two hundred mile drive home, hopefully in time for
- 42:50Speaker 15: the game. In the evening, So big day Sunday. Okay, Nick,
- 42:57Speaker 15: I'm so exciting, and I think we've answered Mike in Colton,
- 43:00Speaker 15: California's question because you can see how excited everyone is.
- 43:03Speaker 15: The regular season does matter, and you know it's everyone's
- 43:08Speaker 15: oh no, anything can happen. You know your rookies might
- 43:11Speaker 15: be great, they might be terrible. Everyone might get injured
- 43:14Speaker 15: or they might stay healthy. Even the Panthers fans should
- 43:16Speaker 15: be excited today because anything can happen. So let's bring it.
- 43:21Speaker 15: And I think we're better than we were last season,
- 43:24Speaker 15: but balanced with a slightly tougher schedule. I'm going for
- 43:28Speaker 15: another twelve and five. I think I'm quite quite confident.
- 43:34Speaker 15: Just a couple of questions for.
- 43:35Speaker 1: You, Nick.
- 43:36Speaker 15: It's gone a little bit quiet on Mauzzi. So is
- 43:40Speaker 15: that a good thing? Is that because we're quite sort
- 43:42Speaker 15: of settled there, we're quite hopeful about what he's going
- 43:45Speaker 15: to do. Where do you think we are with Mazzi
- 43:48Speaker 15: at the moment and Dalvin Cook? Do you think that
- 43:53Speaker 15: he gets elevated this weekend or are we going to
- 43:55Speaker 15: maybe wait a week or two and give him a
- 43:58Speaker 15: bit more time to settle in with the squad. So
- 44:02Speaker 15: I'll leave those questions with you, and thanks for taking
- 44:04Speaker 15: the call, Thanks for the show as a ways.
- 44:06Speaker 3: All right, well, thank you and good luck to you
- 44:08Speaker 3: on the race this week. You know the answer to
- 44:12Speaker 3: the part about Mazie and I gotta be quick here.
- 44:14Speaker 3: I'll start with that part. I do think that you
- 44:19Speaker 3: know it's quiet on that because I mean, nothing's really happened.
- 44:21Speaker 3: I mean, he hasn't played a whole lot. He missed
- 44:24Speaker 3: the Raiders game. I had an allergic reaction and didn't
- 44:29Speaker 3: get to fly with the team there. So I mean
- 44:31Speaker 3: we haven't really seen him do much of anything. And
- 44:35Speaker 3: so that's that's why it's quiet. I mean you could
- 44:37Speaker 3: probably name, you know, other players, Jordan Lewis or I mean,
- 44:41Speaker 3: Zach Martin. I mean just it's quiet on a lot
- 44:44Speaker 3: of it. A lot of guys haven't seen him, haven't
- 44:46Speaker 3: done anything. But I will say this, I think the
- 44:49Speaker 3: Cowboys have given him some help. He's going to be
- 44:52Speaker 3: part of a rotation. He's not only getting help as
- 44:55Speaker 3: far as physical bodies, but guys that have done it before,
- 44:58Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips and Lynval Joseph, and they both have said
- 45:02Speaker 3: that they're excited to work with them, and you know
- 45:05Speaker 3: Osa said it as well. He thinks that, you know,
- 45:08Speaker 3: those guys will be good for the room for young players.
- 45:10Speaker 3: Mazzi is certainly that. So I think it's only it's
- 45:15Speaker 3: only that the arrow should be pointed up for him.
- 45:17Speaker 3: They're giving him help, they're letting him go out there
- 45:19Speaker 3: and play, and he should be able to learn from
- 45:21Speaker 3: some people as well. All right, Curtis, and Oklahoma is
- 45:24Speaker 3: our last caller today, Curtis, what's up?
- 45:26Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome, man. Yeah, it's story time on storylines,
- 45:33Speaker 2: all right. So I actually grew up in Kansas City
- 45:37Speaker 2: and about two miles from Marrowhead Stadium, and you know,
- 45:42Speaker 2: we just were awful back then. It was like the
- 45:44Speaker 2: mid to late nineties. It was like Steve Bono was
- 45:48Speaker 2: the quarterback. And I actually, when I was playing Pop Warner,
- 45:52Speaker 2: I sold candy bars in the stadium parking lot at
- 45:55Speaker 2: all the tailgate parties and we sold the most. So
- 45:59Speaker 2: our team got to play another team in the Kansas
- 46:02Speaker 2: City Chiefs practice stadium, and yeah, I was playing nose
- 46:07Speaker 2: tackle and I went against the girls center and so
- 46:10Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I'm not gonna like be mean
- 46:13Speaker 2: to her. Put me on my backside first play. So wow, yeah,
- 46:18Speaker 2: that was quite the experience. But all that to say,
- 46:21Speaker 2: man like, I just remember living in Kansas City and
- 46:25Speaker 2: seeing the Cowboys on TV and Deon Sanders high step
- 46:29Speaker 2: in across the TV and was like, I love that team.
- 46:33Speaker 2: I want to be that team. That's my team. And
- 46:35Speaker 2: so I've been a Cowboys fan ever since. And you know,
- 46:39Speaker 2: Oklahoma's losing a little bit of their Cowboy fans to
- 46:43Speaker 2: becoming Chiefs fans. It seems like, you know, the Chiefs
- 46:47Speaker 2: are killing it. I don't know if you've seen the
- 46:49Speaker 2: ending last night with the toe on the line, but
- 46:52Speaker 2: that definitely would not have went in favor of the Cowboys.
- 46:56Speaker 2: When they were reviewing it. The people right away were like, oh,
- 47:00Speaker 2: oh yes, that's definitely being overturned. And I was like,
- 47:03Speaker 2: how would you even know that so conclusively? You know,
- 47:06Speaker 2: if it was the Cowboys, they would have came up
- 47:08Speaker 2: with some rule that he had chicken Express two nights
- 47:11Speaker 2: in a row. So now when you're big toes just
- 47:13Speaker 2: on the line, it's actually considered a touchdown and we
- 47:16Speaker 2: would have lost the game or something crazy like that.
- 47:18Speaker 2: So I just wanted to get all that in there.
- 47:22Speaker 2: The only last thing that I'll say two things is
- 47:25Speaker 2: I want mostly black uniforms and the Cowboys win this weekend.
- 47:31Speaker 3: Okay, I have no idea. Am I supposed to know
- 47:36Speaker 3: what that means? I don't know what that means? All right, well,
- 47:39Speaker 3: good stuff, you know, I don't know. Yeah, when the
- 47:44Speaker 3: toe was on the line, it was on the line.
- 47:46Speaker 3: I mean, like I was, I was hoping for you know,
- 47:48Speaker 3: really for fantasy football purposes. I was kind of hoping
- 47:51Speaker 3: to have more football there and it wasn't going to
- 47:54Speaker 3: go to overtime. I was hoping it was going to
- 47:55Speaker 3: go to overtime, but I guess it wasn't going to
- 47:57Speaker 3: because they were going to go for two. But yeah,
- 48:00Speaker 3: you know, I think people think that all the time.
- 48:03Speaker 3: The Cowboys, you know, always get bad calls or whatever.
- 48:06Speaker 3: I mean, if that was if the Cowboys were the
- 48:08Speaker 3: Chiefs and that happened, I think they, you know, the
- 48:10Speaker 3: NFL is going to say the toes on the line.
- 48:12Speaker 3: So yeah, I think the Cowboys have had some weird
- 48:15Speaker 3: calls over the last few years. But I don't I
- 48:19Speaker 3: don't believe in conspiracy theories and stuff like that. I
- 48:22Speaker 3: don't ever think that way. I mean, and I've said
- 48:26Speaker 3: it before. The NFL puts, you know, the Cowboys on
- 48:30Speaker 3: Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football as much as anybody.
- 48:33Speaker 3: They know what the following is. If if the Cowboy,
- 48:37Speaker 3: if the NFL was secretly trying to keep the Cowboys
- 48:41Speaker 3: out of the Super Bowl an NFC Championship game for
- 48:44Speaker 3: three decades, I mean, that would make zero sense at all.
- 48:48Speaker 3: Like so that's why I don't ever believe in that
- 48:50Speaker 3: kind of stuff. If there was a conspiracy theory, the
- 48:53Speaker 3: Cowboys would be in the Super Bowl and in the
- 48:55Speaker 3: NFC Championship game a lot more than once every twenty
- 48:58Speaker 3: eight years, thirty years or whatever. That still't believe in that.
- 49:01Speaker 3: I just think they haven't been good enough when they've
- 49:03Speaker 3: really needed to go win the game. That's what we're
- 49:06Speaker 3: gonna find out Sunday though. Are they going to be
- 49:07Speaker 3: good enough to win this game against Cleveland? For my prediction,
- 49:11Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys will win a low scoring game.
- 49:14Speaker 3: I think they win twenty to thirteen. I think Aubrey
- 49:18Speaker 3: kicks some field goals. I think it'll be a low
- 49:20Speaker 3: scoring game for most of the first half. In the
- 49:22Speaker 3: second half, somebody's going to break through and make a play.
- 49:24Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys will do that. I think Brandon
- 49:27Speaker 3: Cooks is going to have a big game. He's had
- 49:29Speaker 3: a really really great preseason training camp. Training camp, not preseason,
- 49:33Speaker 3: didn't play in the preseason, but he's had a great
- 49:35Speaker 3: training camp. I think that he is going to really benefit.
- 49:39Speaker 3: He'll benefit from being the number one guy for most
- 49:42Speaker 3: of camp and with CD and him together, I think
- 49:45Speaker 3: that Dak has developed a very good connection with him.
- 49:49Speaker 3: All takes his one big strike down the field. I
- 49:51Speaker 3: think Cook's delivers a really big play. The Cowboys will
- 49:54Speaker 3: win this game twenty to thirteen. That's my prediction for
- 49:57Speaker 3: you guys. Great week, great show, a lot of a
- 50:00Speaker 3: lot of really good calls and good debate, good discussion
- 50:04Speaker 3: as always, and we'll be back on Monday to talk
- 50:07Speaker 3: about the Cowboys and the Browns. So for Chris Beam,
- 50:10Speaker 3: I'm Nick Eatman. We will see you Monday on Cowboys Storyline.
- 50:12Speaker 3: See you.
