Speaker 1: The following.
0:16
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
0:18
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
0:22
Speaker 1: Cowboys.
0:25
Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
0:31
Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
0:38
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gellette. It's Thursday,
0:42
Speaker 1: October sixteenth. I had to make sure that was the
0:46
Speaker 1: right date. It is Thursday for sure, October sixteenth. Moving
0:49
Speaker 1: right along here in October, I'm Nick Eatman, and let's
0:53
Speaker 1: talk some Cowboys commanders football. Big matchup here, Cowboys taking
0:57
Speaker 1: on Washington. Dallas versus Washington always a thing, no different
1:01
Speaker 1: this year. They got a lot of former Cowboys. Former
1:04
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator obviously is the head coach, and the records
1:08
Speaker 1: are very similar. This is one of those games where
1:10
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big impact in the standing,
1:15
Speaker 1: especially in the NFC East and who wins these division games.
1:18
Speaker 1: And I don't think it can get bigger than this.
1:21
Speaker 1: One of the Cowboys and Washington both had they both
1:24
Speaker 1: lost the same way field goal. At the at the
1:26
Speaker 1: end of the game, both of them probably thought that
1:30
Speaker 1: it was a game they should they should have won.
1:32
Speaker 1: They led in the fourth quarter and didn't win. So
1:35
Speaker 1: anytime that happens, you want to come back the next
1:37
Speaker 1: week and get a big win. So somebody's probably going
1:40
Speaker 1: to lose two in a row. I say that, somebody's
1:42
Speaker 1: probably going to you never know, but ties now that now,
1:45
Speaker 1: ties are really a thing. But somebody's probably going to
1:48
Speaker 1: lose two in a row, and that's going to be
1:50
Speaker 1: huge jolt to their season. Let's see if the Cowboys
1:52
Speaker 1: can avoid doing that, all right, eight eight eight eight
1:56
Speaker 1: five five to two ninety seven, it's the number to call.
1:58
Speaker 1: We'll talk about in the guy's coming back somewhat healthier
2:03
Speaker 1: than we've seen this Cowboy team, so we can discuss
2:06
Speaker 1: all of that. Brian in Kansas City is first, what's that? Brian?
2:11
Speaker 3: Good morning sir, Good morning man. There was so much
2:16
Speaker 3: good injury news yesterday. You know, we've had such such
2:20
Speaker 3: a bad run of luck in this in it for
2:22
Speaker 3: like a month now, right, It's right, it's it's a
2:25
Speaker 3: month since Beebee got hurt, I think, right, So and
2:29
Speaker 3: and just I you know, I'm excited about getting Booker
2:34
Speaker 3: back just because I felt like last week we got
2:37
Speaker 3: bullied in the trenches, you know, on both sides. But
2:42
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just excited have him back and hope
2:44
Speaker 3: to see that that running game it gets back on track.
2:47
Speaker 3: And last week was just an aberration, so I think
2:52
Speaker 3: for I'm trying to think of what Zach calls it
2:55
Speaker 3: for my double agent. Just anybody, There's so many people
3:01
Speaker 3: over there, Dorence Noah, uh, dan Quinn. Just pick somebody
3:07
Speaker 3: and tell us the story about you know something something
3:09
Speaker 3: you got on one of those guys.
3:11
Speaker 4: Man, And who.
3:12
Speaker 3: Are you excited of all the people that it sounds
3:14
Speaker 3: like coming back? Who are you excited to see man Andrew?
3:18
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, all right, thanks thanks for the call. You
3:21
Speaker 1: know everybody that that you mentioned, I mean everybody. I
3:26
Speaker 1: mean you talked about Booker. Yeah, for sure. The strength
3:30
Speaker 1: that he's got inside is impressive, and I think that
3:34
Speaker 1: that could have helped in the game. CD obviously is
3:37
Speaker 1: CD and and and I'm anxious to see how the
3:40
Speaker 1: offense is gonna gonna go with him and that Pickings
3:43
Speaker 1: really coming into his own, you know, to see those
3:46
Speaker 1: those two weapons there. But I you know, I think
3:51
Speaker 1: they leave yards on the table and the kick return
3:53
Speaker 1: game and pump return. I really believe that. I think
3:55
Speaker 1: that you know, turping back. There is just a just
3:58
Speaker 1: a threat that everybody's worried about. If you're if you're
4:02
Speaker 1: kicking and punting towards him, and and it kind of
4:05
Speaker 1: messes things up when you're trying to angle stuff. It's
4:08
Speaker 1: one thing to just kick it off or punt it deep,
4:10
Speaker 1: but if you're trying to angle, you're trying to do
4:12
Speaker 1: it just the right way. You don't want to put
4:14
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands at all, or if you do,
4:16
Speaker 1: you don't want to put it him and you know,
4:18
Speaker 1: with wide open space to to to run, and then
4:21
Speaker 1: that's where you can make a mistake. And that's where
4:23
Speaker 1: field position is so important. So if he gets the
4:25
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, he can be dangerous and we've
4:27
Speaker 1: seen it, and if he in the in Washington has
4:30
Speaker 1: seen it, and if and if not, and if you
4:33
Speaker 1: try to kick away from him, then that's where you
4:35
Speaker 1: you know, you you wind up maybe in a bad
4:37
Speaker 1: situation too. So he's just such a dangerous threat. He
4:40
Speaker 1: would probably be my guy to say, you know, just
4:43
Speaker 1: just what he can do and change field position stories
4:46
Speaker 1: for Durrance Armstrong and Noah Brown. I don't I don't
4:52
Speaker 1: have a ton I know. Noah Brown, you know he
4:56
Speaker 1: had a big win against when they it was like
5:00
Speaker 1: week two of twenty twenty one. I know, Dak had
5:03
Speaker 1: just been injured and Cooper rushed as the starter and
5:06
Speaker 1: they played Cincinnati, I believe, and Noah Brown basically won
5:10
Speaker 1: that game. I mean he will well, Michael won the
5:13
Speaker 1: game on defense, but Noah Brown had some really big
5:16
Speaker 1: plays in the game on offense. That's was what I
5:18
Speaker 1: kind of remember. It's not the biggest play of his career,
5:21
Speaker 1: obviously the Hail Mary, but last year. But you know,
5:26
Speaker 1: there's not a time I don't have a ton of
5:27
Speaker 1: stories on those guys. I know Durrance was a good
5:30
Speaker 1: you know, he's a really good player, and I kind
5:33
Speaker 1: of thought James Houston has a chance to kind of
5:35
Speaker 1: be that guy a little bit because he plays some
5:37
Speaker 1: special teams. He's pretty good on the edge. But the
5:40
Speaker 1: thing about it, Durrance is pretty good run stopper, complete
5:44
Speaker 1: defensive end. They can get to the quarterback. Now, he
5:47
Speaker 1: might be banged up this week. I'm not sure if
5:49
Speaker 1: he's gonna play or not. All Right, Gary in New
5:51
Speaker 1: Mexico's next Gary, what's up?
5:54
Speaker 5: Hey?
5:54
Speaker 6: Nick?
5:54
Speaker 7: I found the trivia questions on the website last week.
5:57
Speaker 7: Those were really good. I enjoyed that little spot.
5:59
Speaker 1: We got some other ones, and I'll ask all all
6:04
Speaker 1: listeners like, find it, go to the gallery, go up
6:08
Speaker 1: and down the gallery, look at all the answers. So
6:11
Speaker 1: trying to drive the numbers on that one before we
6:13
Speaker 1: have to get rid of it. So I like it.
6:15
Speaker 1: I like doing it. It's fun to do. So hopefully
6:17
Speaker 1: you guys can can play along there.
6:21
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And I'm excited to see what today's questions are.
6:24
Speaker 7: But I got a trivia question for you. Okay, all right,
6:28
Speaker 7: This backup cowboy running back had his best career day
6:32
Speaker 7: rushed for one hundred and twenty two yards against Washington
6:35
Speaker 7: on Thanksgiving Day, nineteen seventy eight. Who was it?
6:40
Speaker 1: Nineteen seventy eight backup running back? The guy that comes
6:49
Speaker 1: to mind is is is it Doug Dennison? I don't know.
6:54
Speaker 6: No.
6:55
Speaker 1: Scott Laidlaw.
6:56
Speaker 7: Scott Laidlaw, the nice had the best day of it.
7:00
Speaker 7: Got Laidlaw is one of those unforgotten heroes, part of
7:02
Speaker 7: the Dirty Dozen. Ye, he was a really key player. Yeah,
7:06
Speaker 7: he filled in for new House in seventy eight when
7:09
Speaker 7: Robert Newhouse got injured and kind of was a big
7:11
Speaker 7: time player going down the playoffs.
7:13
Speaker 1: Where was Dorset? Was he not running of that day?
7:16
Speaker 4: Oh?
7:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was running it, but they were keen on
7:18
Speaker 7: him and Laidlaw had the big game because they weren't ken.
7:22
Speaker 7: He had over one hundred yards before halftime in that game.
7:25
Speaker 7: Oh wow, Scott so Yeah, that was the best game
7:27
Speaker 7: of his career. Man, one of those unsung guys that
7:29
Speaker 7: you need on the championship team. All Right, I got
7:32
Speaker 7: a comment, and then I'd be happy to hear your
7:36
Speaker 7: thoughts after I hang up about this Cowboys defense because
7:38
Speaker 7: it's frustrating. Our offense is so good, our kicker is
7:42
Speaker 7: the best in the NFL, but our defense is historically bad.
7:46
Speaker 7: And I've read your articles about it, and I agree
7:49
Speaker 7: with about ninety nine percent of what you say in
7:51
Speaker 7: those articles. You're spot on. But when your defense is
7:54
Speaker 7: this bad, it is a combination of personnel and coaching,
7:58
Speaker 7: and to me, you have to lay the on the
8:00
Speaker 7: front office. Yeah, and I think the front office and
8:04
Speaker 7: they do a lot of good things, but I think
8:06
Speaker 7: that they grossly misevaluated the talent on this defense, especially
8:11
Speaker 7: a defensive end. Mozzie Smith is a bust. Dam Williams
8:16
Speaker 7: looks like he's a bust as a Rocky may turn
8:19
Speaker 7: into something. I have high hopes for him. The linebackers
8:21
Speaker 7: are horrible. Kenneth Murray looks great getting off the bus,
8:25
Speaker 7: but he doesn't look any good in between the lines.
8:27
Speaker 7: And Trayvon Diggs and Deron Bland were paying them twenty
8:30
Speaker 7: million bucks, but without a strong, consistent pass rush, they're
8:35
Speaker 7: just guys that they're just not the same players. And
8:38
Speaker 7: I think we've seen very clearly now that they were
8:41
Speaker 7: living off the fruits of that pass rush and they were
8:44
Speaker 7: making their hay off of that. When you don't have
8:45
Speaker 7: a pass rush, they're just not the same. And I
8:49
Speaker 7: just if they could just get to the middle of
8:51
Speaker 7: the pack, this could be a contending team. But I
8:55
Speaker 7: don't know that they're even I don't know that there's
8:59
Speaker 7: anything we can do to help this defense right now.
9:01
Speaker 7: So what are your thoughts on that?
9:02
Speaker 6: All?
9:02
Speaker 1: Right?
9:03
Speaker 5: Well?
9:03
Speaker 1: Thank you, Gary. I mean, I don't disagree with with
9:06
Speaker 1: a lot of that. It's just it starts with pass rush,
9:10
Speaker 1: and I think that the pass rush, the lack of it,
9:13
Speaker 1: is is why while you're seeing you know, players that
9:16
Speaker 1: that we've seen play better that aren't aren't doing as good,
9:19
Speaker 1: dron Bland being one of them, Diggs is another. I mean,
9:24
Speaker 1: these linebackers, you know, remember now this this whole defense
9:29
Speaker 1: was constructed to to to play and the scheme and
9:32
Speaker 1: all that to play with with the best pass rusher
9:35
Speaker 1: in the league, you know, and uh, it didn't work
9:37
Speaker 1: out and and he didn't he didn't want to play here,
9:40
Speaker 1: and so they they had to make a move there.
9:43
Speaker 1: We all know that what happened, but you know that
9:45
Speaker 1: that was a big part of it. So so what
9:48
Speaker 1: the roster looks like, the players here, the scheme and
9:51
Speaker 1: all that stuff was was was supposed to be built
9:54
Speaker 1: for a certain certain way, and that that's not the case.
9:57
Speaker 1: And we're not throwing about excuses because guys get hurt
10:00
Speaker 1: all the time, you know what I mean, Like you
10:01
Speaker 1: have to pivot on on what you're doing all the time.
10:04
Speaker 1: So that that's that's that's just how it started here.
10:09
Speaker 1: But you're right, Kenneth Murray hasn't looked like the player
10:12
Speaker 1: that that we thought he was going to be sand
10:15
Speaker 1: Born either. Now, now they got tackles, but that doesn't
10:17
Speaker 1: mean that they're you know, they're still making the tackle.
10:22
Speaker 1: But it's six seven yards down the field maybe when
10:25
Speaker 1: when you want it to be a little closer to
10:26
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you want them to see it
10:28
Speaker 1: and and get there quicker. Same with corners and all that.
10:31
Speaker 1: So everything you said is right. Uh, do they need
10:34
Speaker 1: to get better? They need to get somewhat respectable so
10:39
Speaker 1: you can be a contender. How they get there is
10:42
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. You'll see how creative the Cowboys
10:44
Speaker 1: can get. Do they change things up here in the scheme?
10:47
Speaker 1: Do they just there's their personnel moves they could make.
10:50
Speaker 1: Do they do they make a big move and change
10:53
Speaker 1: the coordinator. I don't know if they'll do that just yet,
10:56
Speaker 1: but at some point, you know, you're going to try
10:58
Speaker 1: all of your your reasons. And it also could be
11:01
Speaker 1: going to get a player. I mean, yeah, you get
11:03
Speaker 1: a player through them through free agency or you know,
11:07
Speaker 1: definitely with the trade. All right, let's go to Jay
11:09
Speaker 1: in Colleen, Texas.
11:11
Speaker 8: Jay, he was going on, good morning, are hold.
11:16
Speaker 1: On now, first time caller. We got to do do
11:18
Speaker 1: our thing.
11:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, here we go.
11:21
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, man, How are you?
11:23
Speaker 8: I'm good man. I just want to I just want
11:26
Speaker 8: to south listening to Nate Newton yesterday on One on
11:28
Speaker 8: five through his fan and he was basically pointing out
11:32
Speaker 8: and I remember in the offseason ibra Flus was saying
11:37
Speaker 8: that he didn't want to show his hand, so they
11:41
Speaker 8: were being really vanilla, you know, in training camp and
11:44
Speaker 8: all of the scrimmages that they were doing, and of
11:47
Speaker 8: course in the preseason, which makes sense because if you
11:50
Speaker 8: pay attention to the preseason games, they didn't look as
11:52
Speaker 8: bad as they do now. So what what he's what
11:55
Speaker 8: he was alluding to is that ibra Flus they weren't
12:00
Speaker 8: aren't showing any of his schemes. So now he's implementing
12:03
Speaker 8: it like right now while the live bullets are flying.
12:06
Speaker 8: That's why it looks so bad and players look lost.
12:10
Speaker 8: And another thing is I put a lot of this
12:13
Speaker 8: blame on Jerry just for the simple fact that a
12:17
Speaker 8: lot of these players fit dan Quinn's skiing. Dan Quinn
12:20
Speaker 8: is a man defensive coordinator. So if you go and
12:24
Speaker 8: hire a zone you know, which that's pretty much all
12:28
Speaker 8: you propose plays you going ira a zone defensive coordinator.
12:32
Speaker 8: I mean, the writing was all on the wall, this
12:35
Speaker 8: was gonna happen. So I just want your opinion on that,
12:37
Speaker 8: and and I just want to say thank you. I
12:41
Speaker 8: listen to it every day, all.
12:42
Speaker 1: Right, Jay, I appreciate that. I'm glad that you were
12:44
Speaker 1: able to call in and call us back for sure,
12:47
Speaker 1: and good to have you a part of this storyline family.
12:52
Speaker 1: You know, you said something about vanilla scheme, and the
12:55
Speaker 1: defense looked pretty good on in the preseason. You know,
12:59
Speaker 1: it's not forget that it was probably very vanilla on
13:03
Speaker 1: the other side too. Whatever offense you're you're facing, that's
13:06
Speaker 1: kind of the nature of of the preseason. So you know,
13:10
Speaker 1: you just want these guys. You're kind of evaluating them,
13:13
Speaker 1: you know, individually and then maybe as a as a
13:16
Speaker 1: position group, but but for the most part, you know,
13:18
Speaker 1: you're you're just going out there to see what these
13:20
Speaker 1: guys do when the lights come on. Yeah, the defense
13:23
Speaker 1: looked looked okay at at times, I think they gave up.
13:28
Speaker 1: They gave up a few every now and again. But
13:30
Speaker 1: but we didn't even think about that kind of stuff
13:32
Speaker 1: because it was you know that these aren't these aren't
13:35
Speaker 1: the players that you're gonna be. They're gonna be playing
13:37
Speaker 1: a lot of it. And and even so, you know,
13:39
Speaker 1: you knew that it was very vanilla on both sides.
13:43
Speaker 1: But yeah, it is. It is a scheme that seems
13:48
Speaker 1: like it fits more of the of the Manda Man
13:52
Speaker 1: type of players, the guys that need to just go
13:55
Speaker 1: go play football, you know, and not the communication and
13:59
Speaker 1: and thinking and and and trying to read and react.
14:04
Speaker 1: You need the guys that just go and attack and
14:07
Speaker 1: and get there quick. And sometimes you're gonna miss, sometimes
14:09
Speaker 1: you're gonna give up big plays, but but you're gonna
14:12
Speaker 1: attack and you're gonna get the football out and then
14:14
Speaker 1: that's you know, they just need to get They need
14:16
Speaker 1: to get more sacks, they need to get more pressure. Obviously,
14:18
Speaker 1: you need to get more turnovers. And that's and I
14:20
Speaker 1: think if you can do those kind of things gives
14:23
Speaker 1: you a better chance to win it, obviously. Casey Joe,
14:26
Speaker 1: he's in Kansas City. What's up?
14:28
Speaker 10: Good morning, Nick. How are you doing today, sir?
14:30
Speaker 1: How are you?
14:31
Speaker 10: I'm good? Hey, has your mom ever called me into
14:34
Speaker 10: the show?
14:34
Speaker 1: She has?
14:35
Speaker 10: Yeah, she is, Okay, Well, I'm just wondering, you know.
14:38
Speaker 1: She calls. She listens every day. She uh, she usually
14:43
Speaker 1: listens to the next day, so she'll listen today for
14:45
Speaker 1: yesterday's show. But yeah, she she she calls she's called before,
14:51
Speaker 1: but she's she's she's more of the listener.
14:54
Speaker 10: Okay. I was just wondering that, Hey, with CD and
14:58
Speaker 10: Chirping coming back, that should take the pressure off our
15:02
Speaker 10: running game this week. And I think our offense will
15:04
Speaker 10: look a lot better this week.
15:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think so too. I mean Turping,
15:10
Speaker 1: you know, as I said before, I think the field
15:12
Speaker 1: position is going to be huge and and and you know,
15:14
Speaker 1: he always gives you that threat of a big of
15:16
Speaker 1: a big return. You just didn't have that with Cropper
15:19
Speaker 1: and and even Jayden Blue and Blue might be back
15:23
Speaker 1: there too. I mean I still think you'll you'll see
15:26
Speaker 1: him back there. But uh, the idea is trying to
15:29
Speaker 1: get the ball in Turpentin.
15:31
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I wouldn't mind seeing a four wide, you know,
15:35
Speaker 10: with Illinois and and Turpin and and all those wide receivers.
15:40
Speaker 10: That'd be kind of fun because they all got a
15:42
Speaker 10: lot of speed.
15:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean they do have speed,
15:46
Speaker 1: and so when you when you open it up there,
15:47
Speaker 1: I mean they can't they can't cover everybody. And I
15:51
Speaker 1: think Ferguson's got to get in in that mix too,
15:53
Speaker 1: because Ferguson's you're you know, you're underneath security blanket type
15:57
Speaker 1: type guy. But but yeah, you got the speed on
15:59
Speaker 1: the outside. It is going to be interesting to see.
16:02
Speaker 1: And I know this. Washington's defense has struggled against big
16:06
Speaker 1: plays this year, and the crossing pattern is from what
16:10
Speaker 1: I what I've I've heard that that they they the
16:13
Speaker 1: corners struggled the most at so I think it was
16:16
Speaker 1: a Washington reporter that was talking about that this morning
16:19
Speaker 1: on the radio, saying that they're scared to death of
16:22
Speaker 1: what Pickens and CD over the middle. But you know,
16:25
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Dan Quinn will have something for him.
16:28
Speaker 10: Okay. Well, hey, in case I don't get in tomorrow,
16:32
Speaker 10: my score will be twenty three to seventeen.
16:35
Speaker 1: Okay, hey, cowboys, twenty three seventeen cowboys. All right, have
16:40
Speaker 1: a good day, thanks Joe. All right, let's go somebody
16:44
Speaker 1: in that area that's that's probably listening to a lot
16:47
Speaker 1: of cowboys commanders talk Blair in Newport News, Virginia.
16:52
Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, before I get to my com cop comment
16:56
Speaker 6: on the Pickens, I just have one thing to say
16:58
Speaker 6: about your show, if you don't mind, sure, Yeah, So, uh,
17:04
Speaker 6: historically I'm I'm a very emotional fan, So when the
17:08
Speaker 6: Cowboys would lose in the past, I would go into
17:11
Speaker 6: immediate media blackout. Like I wouldn't watch more football, I
17:15
Speaker 6: wouldn't listen to podcasts. I literally probably wouldn't start dialing
17:19
Speaker 6: back into Wednesday or Thursday. One thing that's been good
17:23
Speaker 6: about your show, and I really can't explain it because
17:27
Speaker 6: as devastated as I was on Sunday, I'm still listening Monday, Tuesday,
17:32
Speaker 6: Wednesday and now Thursday and engage in a way I
17:36
Speaker 6: hadn't done before. And I just really appreciate it because
17:39
Speaker 6: I always hated that that just icky feeling when you've
17:43
Speaker 6: lost and you didn't want to deal deal with your
17:45
Speaker 6: team any more.
17:46
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I mean, and thank you for saying that.
17:50
Speaker 1: And I think maybe one of the reasons why is
17:53
Speaker 1: that you don't want to get on the media. You
17:55
Speaker 1: don't want to see Stephen A. Smith with a cowboy hat,
17:58
Speaker 1: laughing and all that stuff and fake rants that he
18:01
Speaker 1: does because he absolutely loves the Cowboys. So but but
18:05
Speaker 1: you don't want to see all of these talking heads,
18:08
Speaker 1: you know, saying saying certain things about your team and
18:11
Speaker 1: all that. What this show is is it's almost like
18:13
Speaker 1: a support group because you know, the people that are
18:16
Speaker 1: calling this show and and and all of us here
18:19
Speaker 1: are feeling it, you know, in their own way. Now,
18:22
Speaker 1: some are a little bit more aggressive in what they
18:23
Speaker 1: say than others, and that's fine. I mean that that's
18:25
Speaker 1: always going to be the case. But I think it's
18:28
Speaker 1: because you know, hey, I'm gonna go to this show
18:30
Speaker 1: and everyone always says like is it just me? Or well,
18:35
Speaker 1: this is the type of show to find out it's
18:37
Speaker 1: not just you because this guy in Illinois called or
18:40
Speaker 1: this guy in California said the same thing or something different.
18:43
Speaker 1: So that's why I love about the show. And I
18:45
Speaker 1: think that's why, you know, some of you guys really
18:47
Speaker 1: like it too.
18:49
Speaker 9: Yeah.
18:49
Speaker 6: I was actually encouraged. I forget the caller's name, but
18:52
Speaker 6: the guy who calls in from Cocoa Beach, Yeah, Robbie, Yeah, yeah,
18:55
Speaker 6: rob watch the game this past Sunday with his son,
18:59
Speaker 6: and despite lost, enjoyed it. I mean, like, that's life
19:03
Speaker 6: must be pretty good in Cocoa Beach that you know.
19:06
Speaker 1: You sounds it sounds pretty good. You know, Like when
19:09
Speaker 1: he calls, I just get the sense that he's just
19:12
Speaker 1: you know, we had a coach here named Joe D. Kamlis.
19:15
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite coaches every special teams guy.
19:18
Speaker 1: Love that guy. And he's from Jacksonville. You know, they
19:22
Speaker 1: have a permanent home there in Jacksonville. And he called
19:25
Speaker 1: it beach TV. You just go outside and that's just
19:29
Speaker 1: that's your entertainment. It's just it's your TV. It's just
19:31
Speaker 1: beach TV. That's kind of what I think Cocoa Beach is,
19:34
Speaker 1: you know. And so and Robbie, Yeah, he's he's feeling
19:37
Speaker 1: the vibes. Now, that's not for everybody, you know what
19:39
Speaker 1: I mean. Not everybody's like, oh, it was a good game.
19:41
Speaker 1: Not everyone has that opinion. So but it's fine. Well,
19:47
Speaker 1: all right, Blair, what you got for us?
19:49
Speaker 7: Yeah?
19:49
Speaker 6: Okay, two things, and I'll be I'll try to be
19:51
Speaker 6: quick now that I've strung this out a little bit.
19:54
Speaker 6: Number One, I would it's in terms of being encouraged
19:59
Speaker 6: in the midst of the season. You know, we're going
20:01
Speaker 6: up to play Washington and we're we had this horrible record.
20:05
Speaker 6: We're trying to find hope. You know, wasn't it the
20:08
Speaker 6: New York Giants when they went to the Super Bowl
20:10
Speaker 6: that year they started like oh and seven, Uh, and
20:14
Speaker 6: then went on a nine game run to beat us
20:17
Speaker 6: in a player I think maybe off slightly, but it
20:19
Speaker 6: was something close to that.
20:22
Speaker 1: I they did make a run, and seven seems a
20:26
Speaker 1: little extreme. I don't know, but you're talking about the seven.
20:30
Speaker 1: The seven team. Uh, they they had to win late
20:35
Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs. I know that, and they
20:37
Speaker 1: they got they just got hot, and they they they
20:39
Speaker 1: definitely leaned on the defense. That was just they got
20:42
Speaker 1: like six pass rushers and yeah, go ahead.
20:46
Speaker 6: So my question is, like, in that situation, I believe
20:50
Speaker 6: we looked at that and and their offense wasn't spectacular,
20:53
Speaker 6: but their defense really really came strong. And so I'm
20:57
Speaker 6: what I was wondering is that I'm how love our
21:00
Speaker 6: offense and I do want to talk about pickens, but
21:03
Speaker 6: our offense is so good and I'm very excited about that,
21:07
Speaker 6: But man, what do you really want more? Do you
21:09
Speaker 6: want that defense that can stop anybody and just have
21:13
Speaker 6: an offense that can keep you in games? Because I like, I, man,
21:18
Speaker 6: our defense is in such disarray. I know it can
21:21
Speaker 6: be I believe it can be fixed.
21:23
Speaker 5: But man, I just don't know.
21:25
Speaker 6: You know, As I think forward, I'm like hoping we
21:28
Speaker 6: can do something to get to that level where we're
21:30
Speaker 6: able to compete and sort of celebrate this good office
21:35
Speaker 6: with some support.
21:36
Speaker 1: Right, all right, thank you so much, Blair. I mean,
21:39
Speaker 1: you make a good point there, and in that your
21:41
Speaker 1: comparison to the seven Giants team, you know, the offense.
21:46
Speaker 1: I'm share that offense with Eli Manning and I guess
21:49
Speaker 1: it was Tiki Barber and a Moni Tumor. I mean,
21:53
Speaker 1: they weren't terrible, and that's that's kind of what you
21:56
Speaker 1: guys are asking this defense to be. Is just not terrible,
22:01
Speaker 1: and it is right now, it's just not good at all.
22:04
Speaker 1: I mean, they're thirty second in the league in past defense,
22:08
Speaker 1: and it's they're not really close to thirty first right now,
22:12
Speaker 1: not even close. So that's what they've got to get
22:16
Speaker 1: to that level where you know, yeah, you have one strength,
22:20
Speaker 1: but the other side can do some things now and again,
22:24
Speaker 1: and that's just not what we're what we're seeing here.
22:26
Speaker 1: This defense needs a big game. They need a get
22:29
Speaker 1: right game, and I don't know where it's gonna come from,
22:33
Speaker 1: but you know, because this could be one of those
22:35
Speaker 1: shootout type of games. Let's go to break real quick

24:43
Speaker 1: you will, I'm sure Gillette would appreciate that. All right,
24:47
Speaker 1: back to the phone line here, Cowboys storyline. It's Thursday
24:51
Speaker 1: and doesn't really matter what day it is, because JR.
24:55
Speaker 1: And Avondale, Arizona is gonna call what's up?
24:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kind of running out things to talk about,
25:01
Speaker 4: to be honest with you, But I love being part
25:03
Speaker 4: of this show. Just listening to all the stories and
25:08
Speaker 4: everyone's perspective. It's what makes it so great. And I
25:11
Speaker 4: appreciate Gary bringing up Scott Laidlaw. I worn number thirty
25:14
Speaker 4: five in high school and college because I was a
25:16
Speaker 4: Scott Laidlaw fan as a fullback kids a fullback. That's
25:19
Speaker 4: a great story, brought back great memory for me. I
25:22
Speaker 4: don't know why I was a Scott Laidlaw fan, but
25:26
Speaker 4: I really don't. But the defense has to play better
25:31
Speaker 4: because they really can't play any worse, and I think
25:34
Speaker 4: they will. I just think watching the film, they just
25:37
Speaker 4: things just didn't work. I think it was a bad game.
25:40
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be better. Washington has problems
25:42
Speaker 4: on their defense as well, and I think our offense
25:45
Speaker 4: is going to really be dynamic this week. I think
25:48
Speaker 4: we win this game, but I think we would have
25:52
Speaker 4: scored probably forty plus points. They're going to score a
25:54
Speaker 4: lot too. I think we pull out on the end
25:56
Speaker 4: like forty eight to thirty seven, something like that. And
26:00
Speaker 4: I had one thing for you, and this is a
26:02
Speaker 4: way out there. Scot Sambourne got hurt. I've been real
26:07
Speaker 4: critical of him like everybody else, but he got hurt
26:09
Speaker 4: with about nine minutes ago in the Jets game. Ever
26:11
Speaker 4: since that point we have not stopped to run and
26:14
Speaker 4: have not been able to cover the tight ends in
26:17
Speaker 4: the middle of the field. So maybe he was better
26:21
Speaker 4: than we saw it. Maybe he was a diaper. Anyway,
26:23
Speaker 4: that's all I got. Have a great day and hopefully
26:26
Speaker 4: we'll talk to you soon. Go travel all.
26:28
Speaker 1: Right, easy now on the on the diaper, you can't
26:32
Speaker 1: just be throwing around everybody, And no, no, no, Jack Sambourne,
26:37
Speaker 1: I'm not calling that Romo Micah, and that's that's it.
26:42
Speaker 1: And I definitely have have passed on diaper two point
26:46
Speaker 1: zero to Micah because right now there's a lot of
26:50
Speaker 1: players that aren't playing as well as we thought they
26:53
Speaker 1: were because I guess because he's gone and we and
26:57
Speaker 1: the pass rush is gone. So but but now I'm
27:00
Speaker 1: not not there on Samborne yet. On on that Now,
27:05
Speaker 1: Shamar James is getting a lot of tackles. I mean,
27:07
Speaker 1: it's a tackle machine. That's not always a good thing.
27:11
Speaker 1: You know, you want them to be a little closer
27:13
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. Then then they've been Samborne
27:18
Speaker 1: could come back. It sounds like he will be back
27:20
Speaker 1: this week. Uh, maybe James plays a little bit more
27:24
Speaker 1: for Murray. I know that they play different positions, but
27:28
Speaker 1: you know that might be a situation to to to
27:30
Speaker 1: change some things around. Uh there, But yeah, I mean
27:33
Speaker 1: Samborne solid, but same with Murray. You know that they're
27:38
Speaker 1: getting tackles, but you want them quicker and get up
27:40
Speaker 1: to that line of scrimmage a lot quicker. All right,
27:42
Speaker 1: let's go to a Sebastian and Savannah. Georgia. Sebastian, good morning.
27:47
Speaker 14: How you doing good?
27:48
Speaker 8: How are you seventy three outside?
27:51
Speaker 14: I'm doing just fine, good I've been. I was gonna
27:55
Speaker 14: call and talk about the Commanders, but I haven't actually
27:57
Speaker 14: watched their games yet, but I will say they're more
28:00
Speaker 14: or the team that we saw against the Chargers and
28:01
Speaker 14: that team that we just saw against Chicago because their
28:03
Speaker 14: quarterback's back. But I want to hit on a couple
28:05
Speaker 14: of things for our teams. I don't think you fired
28:08
Speaker 14: the defensive coordinator. I've been thinking about that a lot.
28:12
Speaker 14: A new carpenter saint old tools. You're gonna have the
28:14
Speaker 14: same results and you're gonna want to fire the new
28:16
Speaker 14: defensive coordinator, even if you just hire from within. What
28:20
Speaker 14: Eva Flus needs to do at this point, do the
28:23
Speaker 14: best you can with your tools and just get a
28:25
Speaker 14: pulse on defense. Get us to twenty five. I know
28:28
Speaker 14: we've been saying in the middle of the pack, that's
28:31
Speaker 14: that is a fish. Give me a pulse. I'll take
28:34
Speaker 14: twenty five. Twenty five ranked defense will win those two
28:38
Speaker 14: games that we lost by three points. Okay, Then a
28:42
Speaker 14: lot of questions about this week about George Pickens and
28:44
Speaker 14: what happens when DD comes back, And I want to
28:47
Speaker 14: say this, when you get CD back, you get Batman back.
28:51
Speaker 14: George Pickens is not Batman.
28:52
Speaker 15: He doesn't have all the tools in his belt.
28:54
Speaker 14: But you know what George Pickens is. He's big, he's fast,
28:56
Speaker 14: he's strong, he's night wing and I love which every
28:59
Speaker 14: time George Pickers touch the ball, I'm sinking GP.
29:01
Speaker 9: Are you with me?
29:02
Speaker 14: Because I love what he does? Right, And if we
29:05
Speaker 14: can get Lolorinoid to just be twenty eleven Laron Robinson,
29:10
Speaker 14: that would be super dope.
29:11
Speaker 4: Now hang up and listens.
29:12
Speaker 1: All right, Wow, bringing some thunder today? I like it.
29:17
Speaker 1: I thought maybe there could be something. You know, with
29:19
Speaker 1: George Pickens, he's got six touchdowns. I mean g GPT,
29:23
Speaker 1: you know, I mean some some kind of chat GPT
29:26
Speaker 1: right now. But I like what you got there. I mean,
29:30
Speaker 1: Pickens has been outstanding, man. He really has been so
29:34
Speaker 1: much better than he's ever been. I mean not just
29:37
Speaker 1: better than you thought. I mean he's never played this well,
29:41
Speaker 1: even in Pittsburgh. So I'm I think we're all kind
29:46
Speaker 1: of excited to see what it's going to be. And
29:48
Speaker 1: there's just this isn't a video game. I mean, there's
29:51
Speaker 1: just somebody's stats. They could go and beat Washington, the
29:55
Speaker 1: defense could play really well and they win that game.
29:59
Speaker 1: They beat Washing, and inevitably somebody's stats are going to
30:04
Speaker 1: be well, you know, CD only had three catches for
30:06
Speaker 1: twenty two yards, or Ferguson only had one catch this game.
30:11
Speaker 1: You know, he's been averaging six or whatever it is.
30:14
Speaker 1: But there's just not enough balls to go around. So
30:17
Speaker 1: that that's that's probably going to happen. But the biggest
30:20
Speaker 1: thing is to play complimentary football. Take what's there, you know,
30:23
Speaker 1: drive down the field and and and score score points,
30:26
Speaker 1: score touchdowns for sure. And I think with you know,
30:30
Speaker 1: with that many weapons, and with Dak throwing the ball
30:33
Speaker 1: the way he's throwing it, I think they have a
30:34
Speaker 1: chance to be really dangerous. All right, let's go to
30:38
Speaker 1: Jeremy in d C. Jeremy, So, I got a question
30:42
Speaker 1: for you. I got a question for you. You haven't
30:46
Speaker 1: heard anybody, have you?
30:47
Speaker 4: Oh?
30:48
Speaker 16: No, I haven't heard enough of nobody because out here.
30:51
Speaker 1: Well you know, in d C. I mean, I sure
30:53
Speaker 1: people have a lot of things to.
30:54
Speaker 16: Say, not right now, not to stay lowed. They don't
30:58
Speaker 16: have none to say. They don't really have nothing to say. Man,
31:03
Speaker 16: But uh GT. Three, he's still showing out doing this thing,
31:07
Speaker 16: giving up, giving back all this shit he need out there.
31:10
Speaker 16: You know what I'm talking about, y yo, And man,
31:14
Speaker 16: I just feel like we should throw something at this defense.
31:19
Speaker 4: Man.
31:19
Speaker 16: I know Shoddy is looking for like a culture change
31:22
Speaker 16: and everything like that, but I feel like, man, we
31:25
Speaker 16: should treat this defensive line like how we do the
31:28
Speaker 16: offensive line. I think we should go out there, go
31:30
Speaker 16: get Christian Wakings and then just put the best four
31:34
Speaker 16: on the front floor, you know what I'm saying, and
31:36
Speaker 16: just let them let them boys work, man, Because I
31:40
Speaker 16: feel like they've been saying this since Dan Quinn, Nick, Oh,
31:43
Speaker 16: we don't understand the system, and let's dumb it down.
31:48
Speaker 16: And they've been saying us since dan Quinn. Even when
31:51
Speaker 16: dan Quinn was here, they was giving up one hundred
31:53
Speaker 16: and fifty yards rushing. I'm saying the same thing. Defensive
31:57
Speaker 16: players want to play.
31:58
Speaker 10: He roll balls.
32:00
Speaker 16: So now it's just time to just change the players.
32:02
Speaker 16: I believe Nick, because I don't nobody want to do
32:05
Speaker 16: their job. You're paying them to do a job, Jerry,
32:07
Speaker 16: and they not doing it. So something gotta happen. Man,
32:11
Speaker 16: you know what I'm saying.
32:13
Speaker 1: That sounds good. It doesn't happen usually like that in October.
32:16
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you've you've kind of got you've
32:19
Speaker 1: got your players.
32:20
Speaker 9: Uh.
32:21
Speaker 16: And then my question to you, Nick, because I know
32:23
Speaker 16: everybody's saying making the trade, making the trade, making the trade.
32:27
Speaker 16: So I feel like we shouldn't trade.
32:29
Speaker 3: Them first picks.
32:30
Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying. I feel like if we
32:32
Speaker 16: trade one of the later picks, we can always use
32:35
Speaker 16: one of the Green Bay picks to trade back or
32:38
Speaker 16: something like that to get more picks. You know what
32:41
Speaker 16: I'm saying, that you use the trade for a guy
32:43
Speaker 16: to use the help this year so I just want
32:46
Speaker 16: to know how you feel about trading one of the
32:48
Speaker 16: later picks instead of like the first pick.
32:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks, thanks for the call, Jeremy. You know,
32:56
Speaker 1: usually so if you're going to trade somebody, you gotta
32:59
Speaker 1: remember why. Why is somebody being traded? You know why,
33:03
Speaker 1: what's what's the reason that they're being traded? And also
33:06
Speaker 1: with somebody you want and they're being traded, whether it
33:09
Speaker 1: be they don't think they can resign them, it just
33:12
Speaker 1: hasn't worked, or they're making too much money, whatever it is.
33:16
Speaker 1: But getting rid of players costs money because typically whatever
33:22
Speaker 1: their their signing bonuses and all that stuff kind of
33:25
Speaker 1: hits your cap immediately. So most of the time the
33:29
Speaker 1: guys that get traded are at the end of their
33:31
Speaker 1: of their deal, of their last year of their deal.
33:33
Speaker 1: So what are you are you renting the player and
33:36
Speaker 1: then they hit free agency? Are you going to sign
33:39
Speaker 1: them immediately? Why didn't they sign them? So there's a
33:42
Speaker 1: lot of questions for that, And I think as you
33:44
Speaker 1: get if you have a guy that that you know
33:48
Speaker 1: you're going to resign and he's a really good player,
33:51
Speaker 1: that's probably going to cost you a first round pick.
33:53
Speaker 1: If it's a guy that maybe he resigns next year,
33:57
Speaker 1: he's definitely a free agent. Then you know you're looking
33:59
Speaker 1: at second round, third round, depending on how good he
34:02
Speaker 1: is and how much he makes and all that. So
34:04
Speaker 1: there's so much variables involved there. It's really hard to
34:08
Speaker 1: say that. What Jeremy I think you're saying is is
34:11
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be mind. I mean, he wouldn't mind trading
34:14
Speaker 1: a second or third or fourth round pick or whatever
34:17
Speaker 1: later on than not losing a first rounder. But obviously
34:22
Speaker 1: you lose the kind of talent that you're hoping for,
34:26
Speaker 1: and you're probably getting a guy that's at the end
34:28
Speaker 1: of his contract and then you're gonna have to make
34:29
Speaker 1: a decision on him. Anyways, all right, let's call Mike
34:33
Speaker 1: in Birmingham, England. Mike, you doing good? How are you?
34:38
Speaker 10: Yeah?
34:38
Speaker 5: Really well, thank you. It's getting so hard to get in.
34:42
Speaker 5: I want to put in an early plea to Derek
34:45
Speaker 5: Eagleton when we eventually get to the off season, hopefully
34:50
Speaker 5: in February, can we please have more than one show
34:53
Speaker 5: a week because we need our therapy and it's that
34:55
Speaker 5: there's too many of us now trying to get in,
34:59
Speaker 5: so you know, it makes sense Derek. So I'm going
35:03
Speaker 5: to the Jags against the Rams on Sunday in London.
35:07
Speaker 5: It's exciting, not quite as exciting as going to see
35:10
Speaker 5: the Cowboys, but looking forward to Hold on, hold on.
35:13
Speaker 1: Mike, I have a question for you. What what are
35:16
Speaker 1: you What are you going to wear to the game?
35:19
Speaker 5: I am going to wear my CD eighty eight jersey
35:23
Speaker 5: and my Cowboys cap.
35:25
Speaker 1: Yeah. That was the That was the coolest thing about
35:28
Speaker 1: going to a game in London back in twenty fourteen
35:31
Speaker 1: is walking from the hotel. It was a nice little
35:34
Speaker 1: walk from the hotel to the stadium. We tried to
35:37
Speaker 1: find a jersey from every team and we did. I
35:41
Speaker 1: mean we did, I mean twice somemost you're like, oh man,
35:44
Speaker 1: there's not a Tampa may Bucks. You're like ooh, all
35:47
Speaker 1: start like, I mean, you don't know who it's going
35:49
Speaker 1: to be, but it's an older player or whatever. But
35:52
Speaker 1: now that's cool. I'm glad that you're you're going to
35:54
Speaker 1: represent You won't be the only Cowboy wearing no.
35:57
Speaker 4: No, I won't.
35:57
Speaker 5: I I was there last year and and I found
36:01
Speaker 5: all thirty two Cardinals was the one I was really
36:03
Speaker 5: struggling for. But eventually yeah, and yeah, it's always a
36:08
Speaker 5: nice atmosphere there, So say, it'd be fun, be fun
36:11
Speaker 5: to see Travis Hunter in.
36:13
Speaker 6: The flesh as well, see what he's all about.
36:15
Speaker 5: So I caught the end of your comments to the
36:17
Speaker 5: last caller, and this is probably the number one thing
36:20
Speaker 5: that you've been talking about the most, that you've been
36:22
Speaker 5: asked about the most is about you know, should we trade,
36:26
Speaker 5: should we use our picks, and so forth, And so
36:30
Speaker 5: I'm going to give you the right answer so that
36:34
Speaker 5: nobody needs to talk about it anymore. For me, this
36:38
Speaker 5: is like the kids going on a school trip to
36:41
Speaker 5: the museum and his mom gives him five dollars to
36:44
Speaker 5: spend in the gift shop, and as soon as he
36:47
Speaker 5: goes into that gift shop, his mission is to spend
36:50
Speaker 5: that five dollars, doesn't matter what it is. And in
36:52
Speaker 5: the end, all he's going to get at gift shop
36:54
Speaker 5: prices is a pencil and a ruler. Right later on
36:59
Speaker 5: that day, his mum's taking him to Walmart, and if
37:02
Speaker 5: he held onto that five dollars, he could get a
37:04
Speaker 5: whole stationary set for it, but he's got to spend it.
37:07
Speaker 5: And it kind of feels a bit like that especially
37:10
Speaker 5: with how we are on defense. We want to reach,
37:12
Speaker 5: we want to get something, and to me, unless that
37:15
Speaker 5: gift shop is having a sale, unless the guy from
37:17
Speaker 5: Ohio is available at a sensible price and we can
37:22
Speaker 5: tie him up for three years whatever, obviously, then yeah,
37:24
Speaker 5: you're going to look at it. You're going to do it.
37:26
Speaker 5: But let's not reach. We've already got a load of
37:28
Speaker 5: guys on defense that are okay. We don't need another
37:33
Speaker 5: okay guy. We need a superstar. And if that guy
37:35
Speaker 5: isn't there, then it's a note from me. Hold on
37:38
Speaker 5: to it, and let's keep what we've got and go
37:41
Speaker 5: into the draft. Big scoring game this weekend, forty two
37:45
Speaker 5: to thirty seven Cowboys, let's go.
37:47
Speaker 1: All right, thanks mate. So basically the gift shop analogy
37:53
Speaker 1: is the prices are going to be higher, I think,
37:57
Speaker 1: is what he's saying right now. Prices are hire him.
38:01
Speaker 1: To try to get somebody, you'd have to give up
38:05
Speaker 1: a lot more. I don't know. I don't know if
38:08
Speaker 1: that's the case. I don't know if it's a lot more.
38:10
Speaker 1: I just got it. Just gotta make sense. I mean,
38:14
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's got to make sense. I don't
38:16
Speaker 1: I don't know. If the prices are going to be
38:19
Speaker 1: worse now, but I like the analogy for sure. All right,
38:23

40:23
Speaker 1: Nick Hey?
40:24
Speaker 19: Shout out first to Blair for saying I lived a
40:27
Speaker 19: good life. That's not always true, man. I mean, my
40:30
Speaker 19: boy and I we have a lot of fun, but
40:32
Speaker 19: it's a little depressing to him. It's a lot depressing
40:34
Speaker 19: when we lose. But you still got to look at
40:36
Speaker 19: I got to look at life in the right way
40:38
Speaker 19: that every game is fun to watch, and every time
40:40
Speaker 19: I get to spend time with my boys. Great, so
40:43
Speaker 19: maybe it's just a picture frame on the outside of
40:45
Speaker 19: the wall.
40:46
Speaker 8: It was good.
40:47
Speaker 4: The lot sucks, all right.
40:49
Speaker 19: I got a couple of questions for you. Oh and
40:52
Speaker 19: I got to give a shout out to Sebastian. Sebastian,
40:54
Speaker 19: you bring it every time you call, man. I love
40:56
Speaker 19: hearing your your conversations and your opinions. And for a
41:00
Speaker 19: kind of quiet guy, you put your foot down.
41:02
Speaker 3: I love it.
41:03
Speaker 6: Man.
41:03
Speaker 1: How about that? He seems kind of fired up every
41:05
Speaker 1: time I call it, but.
41:07
Speaker 8: He's always kind of seft spoken.
41:08
Speaker 19: He's like, well, this guy he sucks, and I hate
41:11
Speaker 19: this guy, just like the way he talks, like great, yeah, okay,
41:17
Speaker 19: So I don't do player comparisons very often, but you
41:21
Speaker 19: said something about Pickings yesterday about him being a long strider,
41:25
Speaker 19: and I was like, man, he's been reminding me of somebody.
41:28
Speaker 19: He reminds me of the player, and not all the
41:32
Speaker 19: things that Teo did, but just that long stride Teo had.
41:35
Speaker 19: And I really clicked when he said I was like,
41:38
Speaker 19: oh my god, yeah, that long stride reminds me.
41:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, is there yards after catch or are
41:46
Speaker 1: very similar? And also, you know in a different way.
41:49
Speaker 1: I mean, Teo is so strong, just kind of bounced you. Yeah,
41:54
Speaker 1: but either way, I mean breaking tackles or eluding them.
41:57
Speaker 1: Either way, you're not getting tackled and you're in you're
41:59
Speaker 1: making plays, so for sure.
42:02
Speaker 4: So that's it, man, I love it.
42:03
Speaker 19: I'm happy. I'm gonna root for Cowboys. I think we
42:05
Speaker 19: win a big one this week. I think I'm not
42:08
Speaker 19: gonna call it a get right game. I'm gonna say
42:10
Speaker 19: it's twenty one thirty one US and we're gonna it's
42:14
Speaker 19: not even gonna be that close though throughout the game
42:16
Speaker 19: in my opinion.
42:17
Speaker 1: Man.
42:17
Speaker 19: So let's hope I'll try to call tomorrow and beat
42:20
Speaker 19: that guy that's trying to beat my record of two
42:22
Speaker 19: weeks straight, and we'll talk to you guys later.
42:24
Speaker 1: All right. It sounds good, Yeah, I mean, this is
42:27
Speaker 1: this is one. You know, it's been a couple of
42:28
Speaker 1: weeks since the Cowboys were at at and T Stadium,
42:31
Speaker 1: and this will be the first three twenty five game
42:34
Speaker 1: of the of the season there at noon and then
42:36
Speaker 1: a night game with the Packers, and so afternoon game,
42:40
Speaker 1: no excuse not to not to be in there, be
42:42
Speaker 1: in your seat, b rowdy, h it'll be Washington fans there,
42:46
Speaker 1: but they're they're never They're not one of those teams
42:50
Speaker 1: that usually bring a lot of players a lot of
42:52
Speaker 1: fans from other teams. But you know, we'll see, we'll
42:57
Speaker 1: see how it goes this year. So it's definitely not
42:59
Speaker 1: like the other way around in Washington where he's a
43:02
Speaker 1: lot of cowboy fans that We've had a couple already
43:05
Speaker 1: call this show of one from DC, one from Newport News.
43:08
Speaker 1: All right, we got one from Minnesota here, Lester, morning, Nick.
43:13
Speaker 1: How are you?
43:15
Speaker 15: I'm doing well?
43:16
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good?
43:17
Speaker 15: Let's go, hey, man, this is like a support group, man,
43:21
Speaker 15: because I was real upset that we lost that last
43:26
Speaker 15: game there, but I'm encouraged that the Bears took care
43:32
Speaker 15: of some things for us. So that half a that
43:35
Speaker 15: that half a win that I'm always talking about as
43:38
Speaker 15: far as you know, the tie. So if we win
43:41
Speaker 15: this this week here against Washington, will still be in
43:45
Speaker 15: second place with that half a win.
43:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be a half a win
43:50
Speaker 1: or a half a loss, depending on how the year
43:53
Speaker 1: you know, it develops. I mean, and not even if
43:55
Speaker 1: they don't make the playoffs, it'll you'll figure out your
43:58
Speaker 1: draft order based off of that that win or the
44:03
Speaker 1: tie one way or another. So you know, we'll we'll
44:06
Speaker 1: find out if it's if it's going to be, if
44:08
Speaker 1: it's gonna help them or not.
44:10
Speaker 15: Yeah, And and question for you, who who is our
44:16
Speaker 15: leader on defense at this point right now? Not not
44:20
Speaker 15: the leader of the team. We know that's back. I'm
44:21
Speaker 15: saying who's the leader on defense? Man? Because I feel
44:25
Speaker 15: like you need a leader on defense. And also I
44:29
Speaker 15: feel like on any team that that's more than five players,
44:34
Speaker 15: I mean, I think you need they say in hockey,
44:36
Speaker 15: you need some goons, man, you need some some.
44:39
Speaker 7: People that are in there that just they're just maybe
44:42
Speaker 7: they're there.
44:43
Speaker 15: Talent is not great, great great, but they just they
44:46
Speaker 15: just want to win. They just don't care to do anything,
44:49
Speaker 15: you know, and they'll protect the other players. And then
44:52
Speaker 15: I also I just want to say about picking. You know,
44:56
Speaker 15: like I said, he had a ninety eight catch range, man,
44:59
Speaker 15: so he keep doing this thing. My score for this
45:03
Speaker 15: game with thirty eight thirty six Cowboys.
45:05
Speaker 1: All right, Cowboys sounds good? All right, thank you Lester
45:09
Speaker 1: for the call. I don't know about goons, you know,
45:12
Speaker 1: just guys that fight. They got some guys like that,
45:16
Speaker 1: but you kind of want them to make a little
45:17
Speaker 1: bit more plays and not get as many penalties. I
45:19
Speaker 1: feel like they have a couple of players like that,
45:22
Speaker 1: they don't make enough plays to make up for some
45:26
Speaker 1: of those penalties sometimes. All right, last callar, We're going
45:29
Speaker 1: to Randy Texa. Can I Randy? What's up?
45:33
Speaker 9: What's happening? Dang, I'm the last collar boy. I'm glad
45:36
Speaker 9: I got in. I'll make it fast in shout out
45:40
Speaker 9: to all the storyliners for all the love.
45:42
Speaker 10: I've been hearing it all, bro.
45:43
Speaker 9: I've been getting it all, and I'm loving everybody Ali
45:46
Speaker 9: and Sebash and everything, all that good stuff. Real quick
45:50
Speaker 9: questions do you have? I know you got your laptop there.
45:53
Speaker 9: Are you able to look at stats and things like that?
45:56
Speaker 10: Or you got to do digging for that?
45:58
Speaker 1: Well, depends what kind of stat What's that?
46:01
Speaker 9: The Mingo Flinoi scenario for me, I was wondering if
46:05
Speaker 9: if you was to put Tom played, you know, games
46:08
Speaker 9: played for each Linoi to me, even if Mingo comes back,
46:13
Speaker 9: I'm still leaning toward linoy On playing receiver over him. Yeah,
46:19
Speaker 9: I mean I know I've heard him saying, oh, we're
46:22
Speaker 9: gonna get Mingo baggregate. I've heard that a handful of times,
46:25
Speaker 9: and it's like, I'm not really jumping up down for that,
46:28
Speaker 9: like Linoi. Seems like give us cat a chance, you know.
46:31
Speaker 1: Yeah.
46:32
Speaker 9: That And then also one more thing. In the past,
46:36
Speaker 9: you always heard Jerry saying that one of his biggest
46:39
Speaker 9: regrets was not getting Romo to a Super Bowl and
46:43
Speaker 9: he wished he would have done more and done this,
46:45
Speaker 9: that and the other. Well he's kind of in that
46:47
Speaker 9: exact same scenario right now with Dak So I know,
46:50
Speaker 9: I know you're saying, you know, with trades and things
46:53
Speaker 9: like that, to make it smart to do this, but
46:56
Speaker 9: you know, I hate to say it this way, but
46:57
Speaker 9: he's at the end of his you know, time on Earth,
47:00
Speaker 9: and you would think that.
47:04
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, if if you would think he would fall
47:08
Speaker 10: out right now, Like, just go ahead, just start throwing
47:11
Speaker 10: stuff at the wall and let's just try.
47:13
Speaker 4: You know.
47:13
Speaker 9: If it doesn't work, then hey, well we're in the
47:16
Speaker 9: same boat if it doesn't work, you know, so why
47:18
Speaker 9: not just go for it, Just start doing stuff.
47:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, now I hear you there, and and but
47:25
Speaker 1: then again, it's a it's definitely a family business. And
47:28
Speaker 1: you know this isn't the the end of things for
47:31
Speaker 1: as far as like, you know, the team and the
47:34
Speaker 1: franchise and and making sure it goes in the right direction.
47:39
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm You're right, Dak and Romo's numbers
47:42
Speaker 1: are incredibly you know, it's it's eerie how how similar
47:47
Speaker 1: they are right now and in their playoff success or
47:51
Speaker 1: lack thereof, or in just their overall stats. So you
47:55
Speaker 1: know they're they're both you know that they both just
47:58
Speaker 1: are at that level on the outside of what obviously
48:01
Speaker 1: Troy and Roger were able to do. And I hear
48:04
Speaker 1: what you're saying on Flinois. I think he's got more speed,
48:07
Speaker 1: you know, I think that he just got a little
48:08
Speaker 1: bit more game breaker to him.
48:11
Speaker 9: So and I and I wonder, you know, I know
48:14
Speaker 9: my own eyes tell me what I see is good.
48:16
Speaker 9: But I think a lot of the des people keep saying, oh,
48:20
Speaker 9: he minds me dead?
48:22
Speaker 10: Is that full of us?
48:23
Speaker 9: Or does he really remind us of dead? Like you've
48:26
Speaker 9: got a real thing not to me?
48:29
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't. I haven't seen him just go
48:32
Speaker 1: up and jump over someone and catch it all in
48:34
Speaker 1: one hand. No, I'm no, I'm not. I'm not going
48:36
Speaker 1: to call anybody Dez like like that, especially a guy
48:40
Speaker 1: that's you know, it has been his second year and
48:42
Speaker 1: he's still you know, but he had a nice game
48:44
Speaker 1: against the Jets. He needs to see a little bit
48:45
Speaker 1: more consistency. Mingo is having a pretty good training camp now, Uh,
48:50
Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, I mean, if Mingo could ever get
48:52
Speaker 1: a pass thrown in his in his direction, in his area,
48:55
Speaker 1: he could have been a much better player. I mean,
48:57
Speaker 1: nobody gets more terrible throws him than Mingo.
49:01
Speaker 10: So you all right about that, you're one of them.
49:03
Speaker 9: I mean he's like every time he's get a ball
49:05
Speaker 9: to the feet, you know, every time.
49:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet he was watching that game pissed going.
49:10
Speaker 1: I mean, like, Bryce Young, are you serious you actually
49:13
Speaker 1: throwing it to the guy? So yeah, all right, Well, Randy,
49:17
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're able to call glad you're doing
49:19
Speaker 1: doing well and call us as much as you can.
49:22
Speaker 9: I will, brother, every time I get chance, I will.
49:24
Speaker 9: You'll have a going all right you too?
49:27
Speaker 1: All right? Always good to end the show with Randy
