- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:05Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 1: What's up and welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman.
- 0:24Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, September eleventh. It's time to talk Cowboys
- 0:29Speaker 1: and New Orleans Saints. Been a while since. It feels
- 0:32Speaker 1: like it's been a while since the Saints have come
- 0:35Speaker 1: to town.
- 0:35Speaker 4: Another.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Cowboys play in New Orleans every now and again, but
- 0:39Speaker 1: it's not often that the Saints come here, so it'll
- 0:41Speaker 1: be good tests for them. Obviously, coming off a big win,
- 0:45Speaker 1: good test for the Cowboys, big win last week, trying
- 0:48Speaker 1: to get to two and oh. That's always a big thing,
- 0:50Speaker 1: is who can get to two and oh, and then
- 0:53Speaker 1: it's three and oh and the four and oh and
- 0:55Speaker 1: all that got stacked these wins together. All right, We're
- 0:58Speaker 1: gonna stack some calls together today eight eight, eight, eight,
- 1:00Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven. Trying to figure out
- 1:05Speaker 1: other storylines to talk about this week. Jake Ferguson obviously
- 1:10Speaker 1: will be monitoring his situation with the knee injury that
- 1:15Speaker 1: looked like it could be serious at the time of
- 1:17Speaker 1: the injury there in Cleveland, kind of had a hard
- 1:22Speaker 1: time getting off the field into the locker room. Didn't
- 1:24Speaker 1: want any help, but then he needed some help and
- 1:27Speaker 1: uh looked like it, you know, could be a situation
- 1:30Speaker 1: where he was gonna be out some They they have
- 1:31Speaker 1: announced he's going to be in a return to play group.
- 1:34Speaker 1: That's that's the name of their group that they It's
- 1:37Speaker 1: like a you know, rehab group that they work with
- 1:40Speaker 1: the trainers off to the side, Uh, trying to you know,
- 1:44Speaker 1: get back onto the field. Another tight end, John Stevens,
- 1:47Speaker 1: who had a hamstring injury last week, didn't play. He's
- 1:50Speaker 1: in that group as well. So you know, if if
- 1:52Speaker 1: they both can't play, then that's going to be an
- 1:55Speaker 1: issue for the for the Cowboys on with their tight ends.
- 1:58Speaker 1: They have obviously Luke Scootermaker, Brevin s van Ford, so
- 2:03Speaker 1: they kept four. If two of them can't play, then
- 2:06Speaker 1: they'll they'll have to probably move Princeton from the practice
- 2:10Speaker 1: squad things like that that they can do. But we'll see.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Fingers crossed for Jake Ferguson he'll be able to play
- 2:16Speaker 1: this week. All right, let's get to the phone calls.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Start us off here in New Mexico. We got Gary
- 2:21Speaker 1: in New Mexico. He's first off, what's up? Gary?
- 2:24Speaker 5: Hey? Nick, greetings from the high mountains of southern New Mexico.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Nice, how are you?
- 2:29Speaker 5: I'm good man. How things can change in a week?
- 2:31Speaker 6: Right?
- 2:32Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
- 2:33Speaker 5: Last week people were talking about DA's going to go
- 2:35Speaker 5: to the Raiders or the Giants or the Fitchburgh Steelers,
- 2:38Speaker 5: and now everything's okay. But one thing that stood out
- 2:42Speaker 5: to me in that game, and again, that wasn't a
- 2:44Speaker 5: beautiful game, but it was exactly what I expected. Dallas
- 2:48Speaker 5: just a better team than Cleveland, and they weren't. They
- 2:51Speaker 5: weren't perfect, but they did what they had to do
- 2:54Speaker 5: and you had correct me if I'm wrong. But we
- 2:56Speaker 5: had our top four draft picks plus overshown. So basically
- 3:00Speaker 5: we had five rookies that started or played significant snaps
- 3:03Speaker 5: in that game, and they all carried themselves pretty well.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Let's think, oh yeah, very well. Yeah.
- 3:09Speaker 5: So that's that's some good stuff moving forward. And one
- 3:12Speaker 5: thing that really jumped out to me that I haven't
- 3:15Speaker 5: really realized is the stability of our franchise. You know,
- 3:19Speaker 5: since the middle of twenty ten, we've had two head
- 3:22Speaker 5: coaches since two thousand and six, We've had two starting quarterbacks.
- 3:26Speaker 5: That's pretty darn good.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all we got it.
- 3:30Speaker 5: All they got to do is get over the hump.
- 3:32Speaker 5: And I really think you know, Peyton Manning was in
- 3:34Speaker 5: his ninth season before he got to his first Super Bowl.
- 3:37Speaker 5: Drew Brees was in his ninth season before he got
- 3:39Speaker 5: to his first Super Bowl. So, like I told you
- 3:41Speaker 5: last week, Dak's story is not finished being written. So
- 3:45Speaker 5: let's see how this plays out, and let's just enjoy
- 3:47Speaker 5: this week. But before I get off the phone, I've
- 3:49Speaker 5: got a trivia question for you, because I always have
- 3:51Speaker 5: to go old school sometimes. Right, all right, all right,
- 3:55Speaker 5: Cowboys are playing the Saints this week. Can you tell
- 3:57Speaker 5: me the only time the Dallas Cowboys ever won a
- 4:00Speaker 5: game by scoring safety?
- 4:02Speaker 1: Yes, nineteen eighty three. That's my favorite game. It's one
- 4:05Speaker 1: of my favorite game of all Mine too, mine, Anthony Dickerson.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I love this game. It's one of my favorite games
- 4:13Speaker 1: of all time because and I know because it's also
- 4:16Speaker 1: one of the first games that my parents actually recorded
- 4:19Speaker 1: on our VCR at the time. So I had this game.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I can tell you everything about that game. They were
- 4:26Speaker 1: down by seven in the fourth quarter, they block a
- 4:29Speaker 1: field goal two Tall Jones blocks that Ron Fellows scores.
- 4:32Speaker 1: They're about to tie the game twenty to twenty, and
- 4:34Speaker 1: the extra point is blocked. And then in the fourth quarter,
- 4:37Speaker 1: I mean that was in the fourth quarter. Later in
- 4:39Speaker 1: that drive, Danny White throws a pick at the one,
- 4:42Speaker 1: but Ken Stabler is sacked by Anthony Dickerson Indian zone
- 4:46Speaker 1: and they win twenty one to twenty. And I love that.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I think that became like four to oh that year
- 4:54Speaker 1: in eighty three, maybe three, and oh, it was early
- 4:56Speaker 1: in the season, but.
- 4:58Speaker 5: Yeah, I was in though I was in the sixth
- 5:00Speaker 5: grade then, and that's still in my memory. That's still
- 5:04Speaker 5: the most disappointing the Cowboys ever had because of the
- 5:07Speaker 5: way it ended. But yeah, let me let me ask
- 5:08Speaker 5: you one more question. I'll get off thump to me
- 5:11Speaker 5: that the Cowboys that we currently have, this twenty twenty
- 5:14Speaker 5: one through twenty twenty four group, that they, to me
- 5:17Speaker 5: resemble those early Cowboys, those early eighties Cowboys teams a lot,
- 5:22Speaker 5: very talented, they make a lot of big plays, a
- 5:24Speaker 5: lot of superstars, and they just can't get over the
- 5:26Speaker 5: hump in the playoffs. I mean, do you see a
- 5:28Speaker 5: similarity there, and I'll hang up and listen.
- 5:30Speaker 7: Sure.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I mean that usually goes down to the to the quarterback.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's how the quarterback is viewed. It could just be
- 5:36Speaker 1: a team, but that's how Danny White is viewed. That's
- 5:39Speaker 1: how Romo was viewed, and right now, that's how Dak
- 5:42Speaker 1: is viewed, especially nationally. That you know, good team, good
- 5:45Speaker 1: good season, a lot of stats, but not good enough
- 5:49Speaker 1: to get there over the hump. The eighties, you know,
- 5:52Speaker 1: they were you know a lot of great players that
- 5:56Speaker 1: were starting to you know, get older, and and they
- 6:00Speaker 1: just didn't have the same you know, they just didn't
- 6:03Speaker 1: have that. They couldn't win. They just didn't win like
- 6:06Speaker 1: they were winning in the seventies. Couldn't get over the home.
- 6:08Speaker 1: So yeah, I could see some similarities there. Good but
- 6:11Speaker 1: not good enough. That's really how that went down. All right,
- 6:14Speaker 1: Let's go to Anthony and Miami. Anthony Nick the quick
- 6:18Speaker 1: what's up, my guy? How you doing?
- 6:21Speaker 8: I'm doing, you know, pretty good other than his ragin
- 6:23Speaker 8: down here making a quick little run down here and Bills.
- 6:27Speaker 8: Nick had a low scoring game last week. I think
- 6:32Speaker 8: I had twenty two to nineteen kind of predicted of
- 6:34Speaker 8: the becount of messy like that. You have some time management,
- 6:38Speaker 8: clock management type things may be bad decisions. But the
- 6:42Speaker 8: good thing I was happy about was the turnover battle.
- 6:47Speaker 8: I was happy about that and that defense. I don't
- 6:51Speaker 8: blame anybody, you know, for getting ahead of themselves or
- 6:54Speaker 8: just being happy with the defense. You gotta understand then
- 6:58Speaker 8: when you add tackles and and the one thing about
- 7:01Speaker 8: I hate that age thing. I wish people stop calling people, oh,
- 7:05Speaker 8: they can't play it. And we get these old guys.
- 7:08Speaker 8: Do you know what. Jordan Phillips is Number one. He's mean,
- 7:11Speaker 8: and that was something that was lacking. You can get
- 7:14Speaker 8: a Jordan Phillis and the limb Vo Joseph be in there.
- 7:16Speaker 8: I mean lin Vo hadn't seen him that much, but
- 7:18Speaker 8: it makes a difference. You get a linebacker like Kendrick,
- 7:21Speaker 8: it makes a difference. Now you got that guy they
- 7:23Speaker 8: call weapon X Unicorn, I call them the anomaly. Michael
- 7:27Speaker 8: Parsons is an anomaly. It's just different, you know, one
- 7:30Speaker 8: of a kind, one time thing, and he makes a difference,
- 7:33Speaker 8: and that's what's gonna make the difference.
- 7:35Speaker 7: Man.
- 7:36Speaker 8: So he'll beat the Saints about ten. But the tests
- 7:38Speaker 8: everybody knows it's gonna be Baltimore because mobile quarterbacks might
- 7:42Speaker 8: hurt us. But if you are statue back there, you
- 7:45Speaker 8: are in trouble if you are a statue So we'll we'll,
- 7:49Speaker 8: we'll wait and let's see that Baltimore. I got them
- 7:51Speaker 8: by ten against New Orleans ten or better. But the
- 7:53Speaker 8: Baltimore thing I'm waiting on.
- 7:55Speaker 1: That's my thing, all right, right, all right, well but
- 7:58Speaker 1: thank you. We'll stay in the in the moment here.
- 8:02Speaker 1: The thing about it is, yeah, Derek card Is, you know,
- 8:05Speaker 1: he's not he's not that elusive, but he can complete
- 8:08Speaker 1: passes and he's going to be accurate, more accurate than
- 8:11Speaker 1: what you had before. And you know, if you do
- 8:15Speaker 1: want to look ahead, I mean, obviously the Baltimore game
- 8:17Speaker 1: is gonna is one that everyone's excited to watch because
- 8:20Speaker 1: you got to the top two guys in the MVP
- 8:23Speaker 1: voting last year with obviously the winner in Lamar Jackson
- 8:26Speaker 1: and then Dak And yet Lamar is is elusive quarterbacks
- 8:32Speaker 1: or everybody has a problem with them, you know, it's not.
- 8:35Speaker 1: It's not just the Cowboys. I mean, he's he's like
- 8:37Speaker 1: a dynamic running back back there at quarterback. But if
- 8:43Speaker 1: you can force him to throw, and force him to
- 8:46Speaker 1: throw a lot that plays in your hands. I'm not
- 8:49Speaker 1: I'm not one that doesn't call him a quarterback. I don't.
- 8:51Speaker 1: I'm not petty like that. I don't like that that
- 8:54Speaker 1: he's a quarterback. He's dangerous, he's really good. But he
- 8:58Speaker 1: runs better than he throws. And if you can make
- 9:00Speaker 1: him throw, then you know that's that's a good thing.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Same with Derek Carr. He probably he throws better than
- 9:08Speaker 1: he runs. If you can make him run, then that
- 9:10Speaker 1: plays to your hands. Same type of thing. Having a
- 9:14Speaker 1: defensive coordinator like Mike Zimmer that can get people, especially quarterbacks,
- 9:19Speaker 1: get them to do what they're not good at. Good
- 9:22Speaker 1: for you. All right, let's go to Zach in Atlanta.
- 9:25Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Nick.
- 9:26Speaker 1: How are you? Good morning? How are you?
- 9:28Speaker 9: I'm doing all right, it's doing all right. Yesterday there
- 9:31Speaker 9: were a few comments about what it looks like for
- 9:35Speaker 9: dak to elevate his game, what's his next step?
- 9:38Speaker 10: Right?
- 9:39Speaker 9: I was curious what your thoughts are for the next
- 9:43Speaker 9: couple of years that we have him, what it looks
- 9:45Speaker 9: like for him to elevate his game. I think he
- 9:48Speaker 9: has an opportunity to become the pastor that elevates his receivers.
- 9:53Speaker 9: You know, we've seen Cedric Wilson in the past and
- 9:57Speaker 9: Schultz benefit from from maybe playing above their ability. But yeah,
- 10:05Speaker 9: I think you know, he's got the stud and CD
- 10:07Speaker 9: they're going to be paired up the next four or
- 10:09Speaker 9: five years, and so now it's going to be can
- 10:12Speaker 9: Dak elevate the Brooks of the world the floor noise?
- 10:17Speaker 9: You know, we've got our top two tight ends out
- 10:20Speaker 9: the next couple of weeks, you know, can he do
- 10:23Speaker 9: something with Scoon Maker? But yeah, curious what your thoughts
- 10:27Speaker 9: on Dak elevating his game.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a good question, and especially after
- 10:32Speaker 1: the contract that he just received. I mean you want
- 10:35Speaker 1: him to obviously want him to keep getting better and better,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and that's he That's one position where you know, you
- 10:42Speaker 1: can see players that play later in their career, some
- 10:47Speaker 1: positions at thirty years old. I mean, obviously we know
- 10:50Speaker 1: Dak and Zeke came in here together. You know, Dak's
- 10:54Speaker 1: still at the prime of his career and Zeke is
- 10:57Speaker 1: seems like, seems like he's towards the end. I mean,
- 10:59Speaker 1: that's what the way the NFL views it now. He's
- 11:02Speaker 1: he's with you know, the Cowboys again after a one
- 11:05Speaker 1: year stint with the with the Patriots, and that's just
- 11:07Speaker 1: the nature of the positions, but you still want them
- 11:09Speaker 1: to keep getting better. One thing I think he can
- 11:12Speaker 1: he can improve on would be, you know, deep ball accuracy.
- 11:18Speaker 1: We see them throw the ball around a lot. He
- 11:21Speaker 1: had a very nice throw to uh CD down the
- 11:25Speaker 1: sideline early in the game, second drive of the game
- 11:27Speaker 1: that that led to their touchdown. But I'm talking like
- 11:31Speaker 1: really deep down the field. That's one that that I think,
- 11:35Speaker 1: you know, he can he can do better at with
- 11:37Speaker 1: his his receivers. Uh, that's just gonna be time, chemistry,
- 11:42Speaker 1: things like that. But that's one thing that I think
- 11:45Speaker 1: he can improve on. And then just all the other
- 11:47Speaker 1: little mechanics, fine tuning things here and there, getting his
- 11:50Speaker 1: body right, figuring out what type of quarterback he's going
- 11:54Speaker 1: to be as he gets later on in his career.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Run when you you need to run things like that.
- 12:00Speaker 1: He's done that, He's done that. He just got to
- 12:01Speaker 1: continue that. But deep ball throws would be one that
- 12:04Speaker 1: I would I would say that I could see him
- 12:07Speaker 1: getting a little bit better at all. Right, jeff In Taylorsville,
- 12:10Speaker 1: North Carolina, Jeff.
- 12:12Speaker 11: What's going on next?
- 12:13Speaker 1: Amen? Get to hear from all?
- 12:15Speaker 11: Right? I know, man, it's been a while. I told
- 12:18Speaker 11: Chris I called the first week of camps the last
- 12:20Speaker 11: time I was able to call. I'm on vacation this week,
- 12:24Speaker 11: so I've been trying to call every day, but this
- 12:26Speaker 11: is the first day I'll be able to get through.
- 12:28Speaker 12: Man.
- 12:28Speaker 11: But oh man, I'm just so excited. I know you said.
- 12:32Speaker 11: I a little bit down last time I called because
- 12:34Speaker 11: I was worried about these contracts. Now we're moving right along.
- 12:39Speaker 11: I sitting in church on Sunday, Nick and I have
- 12:42Speaker 11: my phone on Vibrate, and all of a sudden it
- 12:45Speaker 11: started buzzing, and I looked at it and seeing where
- 12:47Speaker 11: they agreed with that, I almost got up and said, Amen,
- 12:50Speaker 11: go Cowboys. I figured the pastor might not like that.
- 12:54Speaker 11: He might have liked the amen. Yeah, But anyway, man,
- 12:58Speaker 11: I thought it was a good win on Sunday against
- 13:01Speaker 11: a really good defensive team. I thought they they've done
- 13:04Speaker 11: They've done pretty good, and but I'm excited. I finally
- 13:08Speaker 11: saw the details this morning on overthcap dot Com of
- 13:12Speaker 11: Dak's contract, and he's got four voided years on the
- 13:17Speaker 11: end of it. It's hard for me to understand all
- 13:19Speaker 11: that stuff. But I know next year's cap hit is
- 13:22Speaker 11: I mean this this year has been reduced because of it,
- 13:26Speaker 11: but next month, next year's is like eighty nine million dollars.
- 13:30Speaker 11: But I'm sure they'll restructure that. And so they've got
- 13:32Speaker 11: all the void years and they'll they'll work it all out.
- 13:35Speaker 11: But I'm glad they got them signed. I was, you know,
- 13:39Speaker 11: I like Dak and I was just I'm just just
- 13:41Speaker 11: glad all that stuff's over with. But I ain't gonna
- 13:44Speaker 11: keep your brother. I know there's a lot of people
- 13:45Speaker 11: calling and and right, I just want to let you
- 13:48Speaker 11: know I'm I am pumped back up now.
- 13:50Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, that's awesome, man. I'm glad you're in
- 13:53Speaker 1: a better mood. Contracts and wins can help with that.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Jeff. I appreciate that. I can
- 13:59Speaker 1: just see him in church just doing that, just getting
- 14:03Speaker 1: all excited there, especially in North Carolina, you know where
- 14:07Speaker 1: I know there are Cowboy fans. They they call all
- 14:09Speaker 1: the time, but it's probably not the team of choice
- 14:12Speaker 1: that everybody root. TRE don't know who is the team.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the Panthers, but I mean after that,
- 14:19Speaker 1: maybe they're jumping off ship. Anyways, if they even have
- 14:22Speaker 1: a lot of fans. Not my favorite team in the world.
- 14:26Speaker 1: All right, Greg in Sacramento is NeXT's going?
- 14:31Speaker 4: Man?
- 14:31Speaker 1: Hey?
- 14:32Speaker 12: Greg?
- 14:33Speaker 4: Hey man, I'm telling you are getting harder and harder
- 14:36Speaker 4: to get in. I've been trying to call to support
- 14:39Speaker 4: the before the beginning of the team, but any last
- 14:44Speaker 4: time I tried to call, Benji was with USA and
- 14:46Speaker 4: he was kind of disappointed that we didn't get through.
- 14:48Speaker 4: So I just want to give a shout out to
- 14:50Speaker 4: Benji and Ava and let him know that I already
- 14:53Speaker 4: took him in school, but let him know that I
- 14:56Speaker 4: got through today. So they'll probably be listening. I haven't
- 14:59Speaker 4: listened to it when we want to come up from school.
- 15:00Speaker 1: That's great, that's great.
- 15:02Speaker 4: Awes uh So, I just had a quick question for you.
- 15:06Speaker 4: I have a question about the defense. First of all,
- 15:08Speaker 4: I mean, I just want to say I'm really excited
- 15:10Speaker 4: about our about our defense this year.
- 15:11Speaker 13: I think we.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Looked really great on all levels. I mean they were
- 15:16Speaker 4: especially like the way we were hitting on Sunday, I
- 15:20Speaker 4: mean it was it was reminding me of like of
- 15:23Speaker 4: like the the Gerald sense abat days, like just bringing
- 15:26Speaker 4: bringing the lumber down on people. So, but what I
- 15:29Speaker 4: wanted to ask you was what group, what defensive group
- 15:32Speaker 4: do you think it's going to do the best or have,
- 15:35Speaker 4: like I guess the most successful season this year, the linebackers,
- 15:39Speaker 4: the D line or the secondary.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I'll ask you, where are you putting Micah? What group
- 15:47Speaker 1: is he in? Defensive ends?
- 15:51Speaker 4: Well, you told me that. I think last time I called,
- 15:53Speaker 4: you told me that he's listed as as a defensive end.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I'm going to say that group, whatever the group Mike
- 16:01Speaker 1: is in, is the one that's gonna have the best.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Linebackers are improved. The cornerbacks look look good too, with
- 16:08Speaker 1: Digs back and and and hopefully playing back soon. But
- 16:12Speaker 1: I mean, Michaeh. Parsons is the best player on the
- 16:14Speaker 1: football team and by far, Yes, c D. Michaeh Parsons
- 16:19Speaker 1: to me is the best player you've got and so
- 16:22Speaker 1: and he when he plays like that, he is a
- 16:26Speaker 1: game wrecker. And he played I mean, Kendricks, all those
- 16:30Speaker 1: guys played well. But if you told me, if you
- 16:33Speaker 1: asked me who played the best, I would say Michael Parsons.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Every almost every single time.
- 16:38Speaker 13: Really Yeah, I agree, But.
- 16:42Speaker 1: All right, Greg appreciate it that that's a good question,
- 16:45Speaker 1: and it's a it's good because it's close. I mean,
- 16:49Speaker 1: if if Bland comes back, starts making plays, Carson is
- 16:52Speaker 1: doing his thing. Of course, Diggs, you know, got his guy,
- 16:57Speaker 1: Kendrickson overshown and and and and Leah and Damon Clark
- 17:01Speaker 1: and the linebackers are so certainly improved. Got defensive tackles
- 17:05Speaker 1: in the middle, stop in the run when it tank,
- 17:07Speaker 1: getting two sacks, Michael, that is that is a tough
- 17:11Speaker 1: question because if they're all if it's all close like that,
- 17:15Speaker 1: it could be a really really good defense. All right,
- 17:18Speaker 1: let's go to Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
- 17:21Speaker 13: What's going on?
- 17:22Speaker 1: How you doing, Louis?
- 17:24Speaker 13: No No. I told Chris I hit a deer this morning,
- 17:26Speaker 13: mess up in front of him, French them hands like.
- 17:30Speaker 1: How's the deer?
- 17:32Speaker 13: Uh yeah, huh okay, wow.
- 17:37Speaker 1: But but but we're calling about that, like I get it.
- 17:40Speaker 13: Yeah, Oh, I'm fud of that.
- 17:43Speaker 7: You know.
- 17:43Speaker 13: I didn't moved on from the Browns. I'm moving on
- 17:46Speaker 13: to the Saints. And I watched a little bit of
- 17:47Speaker 13: the game that I could.
- 17:48Speaker 1: It was shocking moved from the deer too.
- 17:52Speaker 13: So you gotta have a short term memory. You gotta
- 17:57Speaker 13: have a short term memory.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Okay, I mean at least you can remember anything. How
- 18:02Speaker 1: about that?
- 18:03Speaker 12: All right?
- 18:03Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead.
- 18:06Speaker 13: No, So I just was thinking, you know, I watched
- 18:10Speaker 13: the game and it was, like I said, it was
- 18:12Speaker 13: a hard watch Carolina. I hate them poo poo on
- 18:15Speaker 13: the team because they're all making money.
- 18:17Speaker 12: They're all good.
- 18:18Speaker 13: At what they do, but they just are a bad teams.
- 18:22Speaker 13: But when it comes to the Saints, I enjoyed watching
- 18:26Speaker 13: car But what really scares me is Camorrow because he's
- 18:30Speaker 13: just He's just all over the place. He pitches the ball,
- 18:33Speaker 13: he runs the ball. And although I think our run
- 18:36Speaker 13: defense is real and I think they're going to be better,
- 18:39Speaker 13: would you would you think to put a spot or
- 18:42Speaker 13: I guess you know, you keep keep somebody that just
- 18:45Speaker 13: follows Tomorrow around. Like after watching Overstall run down through,
- 18:49Speaker 13: try and watch it. I would just keep overstrolls just
- 18:52Speaker 13: kind of wherever Camara goes, you go with him. If not,
- 18:55Speaker 13: you know, maybe like day Lou on them or something
- 18:57Speaker 13: like that. I think he played him a few times.
- 18:59Speaker 13: That will be that would be a good way of
- 19:02Speaker 13: trying to mitigate him running all over the field. Yeah,
- 19:06Speaker 13: and as always, I'll take it off Aaron. I'll just
- 19:10Speaker 13: listen to what you got to pay it.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Is this the game that you're coming down for?
- 19:16Speaker 13: No, no, no, I think me and my friends we
- 19:19Speaker 13: couldn't get it together. So I'm probably honestly gonna be
- 19:21Speaker 13: able to make it down on the Detroit game.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Got it, all right? That'll be a good one too.
- 19:25Speaker 1: All right, Lewis, thank you, all right, and drive safe
- 19:28Speaker 1: over there. All right? Uh, I think this is where
- 19:35Speaker 1: I want to see what you know, Mike Zimmer comes
- 19:39Speaker 1: up with. Because there wasn't a lot that you had
- 19:42Speaker 1: to show to beat the Browns. It was pretty evident
- 19:45Speaker 1: there once they got after that first drive, they got
- 19:48Speaker 1: things kind of in order and they could basically just
- 19:51Speaker 1: just run basic defense and and uh and win that game.
- 19:55Speaker 1: But against the Saints, they got a dynamic guy like
- 19:58Speaker 1: kamaraw Yeah, I'd like to see if they have a
- 20:02Speaker 1: spy for him, if somebody like Mukuamu or Marquise Bell
- 20:08Speaker 1: or somebody that that you know that you're not putting
- 20:11Speaker 1: maybe in your base defense, but you can play it
- 20:13Speaker 1: at times like that. You say overshown. I've got him
- 20:17Speaker 1: doing a lot of other things, but uh, you know,
- 20:19Speaker 1: I could see where they have different package here and
- 20:22Speaker 1: that's that's where you know, Zimmer, He's going to have
- 20:26Speaker 1: to really figure out be creative on how they want
- 20:29Speaker 1: to play this game with a guy like Kamar, and
- 20:33Speaker 1: they've got some guys on the outside, so and maybe not,
- 20:36Speaker 1: maybe you just play straight up basic defense. If you
- 20:38Speaker 1: can do that, you play with your base and go
- 20:41Speaker 1: out there and win regardless of the personnel. That that's
- 20:44Speaker 1: easier on the players and it just goes to show
- 20:47Speaker 1: how good they are. We'll see if they can actually
- 20:49Speaker 1: do that. All right, let's take our first break here

- 22:34Speaker 15: Man?
- 22:35Speaker 1: Hello?
- 22:36Speaker 10: Hey?
- 22:36Speaker 6: How are you doing?
- 22:37Speaker 15: Nick?
- 22:39Speaker 1: That's wrong? What do you got?
- 22:41Speaker 8: Oh?
- 22:41Speaker 6: Okay, okay, Just call to say Hi, I wanted to
- 22:46Speaker 6: talk a little bit about Obi Charles's we're talking about them.
- 22:49Speaker 6: I mean, what a gym. I just think we just
- 22:52Speaker 6: got a gym. I mean we saw something that I
- 22:55Speaker 6: think not only the coaches but everybody that was watching
- 22:58Speaker 6: that game just for go to the city himself. Wow,
- 23:01Speaker 6: look look at the speed of this guy. I mean,
- 23:03Speaker 6: just to see him blow past Michael Parson, who had
- 23:06Speaker 6: an awesome game himself, just it just set to yourself. Boy,
- 23:12Speaker 6: I mean, here we go again with finding these uh
- 23:16Speaker 6: particular players in the draft. And even though he was
- 23:20Speaker 6: hurt last year, I mean, just the fact that he's
- 23:24Speaker 6: going to be uh playing this year, h bar and
- 23:28Speaker 6: anything happened, hopefully nothing will happen to him. But what
- 23:31Speaker 6: what a what a great player he is?
- 23:33Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's it's been one. It's one game for sure,
- 23:36Speaker 1: but let's see how how that goes. But yeah, I
- 23:39Speaker 1: mean he's got such a stride about him. He could run.
- 23:43Speaker 1: You know, it takes ten steps, he could get sidelined
- 23:46Speaker 1: the sideline and and and and not only does he
- 23:49Speaker 1: do that, but he brings brings a you know, the
- 23:52Speaker 1: hitstick with him. But what he what he does, so yeah,
- 23:54Speaker 1: fun to watch right now. Uh, you know, we haven't
- 23:56Speaker 1: seen a lot out of him. I mean we've he's
- 23:58Speaker 1: he played like one game last year before he got
- 24:01Speaker 1: hurt preseason, played I guess two games this year, but
- 24:05Speaker 1: but limited. So we're still having seen him really play.
- 24:08Speaker 1: So that was the first game we've seen four quarters
- 24:11Speaker 1: of obviously, and you know, he's fun to watch it.
- 24:14Speaker 1: And I'll say this about the entire defense. It's the
- 24:19Speaker 1: defense is is fun to watch. The defense is what
- 24:23Speaker 1: you you don't you know, if you're gonna go up
- 24:25Speaker 1: and get something to eat or drink or whatever, come
- 24:28Speaker 1: back Like maybe in the past you would do it
- 24:30Speaker 1: when the defense was on there and hope for a
- 24:32Speaker 1: stop and all that. But now like you're you're watching
- 24:35Speaker 1: the defense all the time because that's just since Micah
- 24:39Speaker 1: got here. That's the way it's it's felt like on
- 24:41Speaker 1: defense and the way it is now, you don't know
- 24:43Speaker 1: who's gonna who's gonna do, who's gonna get a pick,
- 24:45Speaker 1: who's gonna make a play. I mean, you know, the
- 24:48Speaker 1: when Diggs was getting interceptions at every game, how fun
- 24:52Speaker 1: was that? How fun was it? When Deron Bland was
- 24:54Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns? It seemed like every other game. And then
- 24:58Speaker 1: and then Micah doing doing his thing. So now you
- 25:01Speaker 1: add another player in there, Kendricks, he seems fun to watch.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Same with Overshown. It's just the defense that is aggressive, attacking,
- 25:10Speaker 1: and they're playmakers. I mean like when they're out there,
- 25:13Speaker 1: there was a time in that game, and there's a
- 25:16Speaker 1: lot of games like that, when you're playing a team
- 25:18Speaker 1: not very good and it's the third quarter, fourth quarter,
- 25:21Speaker 1: you just feel like they have a great chance to
- 25:24Speaker 1: score a touchdown. That's the way I felt last year.
- 25:27Speaker 1: I still feel that way. How cool is it when
- 25:30Speaker 1: you're watching your game and you feel like, well, you know,
- 25:33Speaker 1: let's see if who scores here on defense? I mean,
- 25:35Speaker 1: that's just rare, but that's the feeling that you get.
- 25:37Speaker 1: And then if you stop them and they punt, you
- 25:40Speaker 1: feel like, could Turpid score? I always feel like that,
- 25:44Speaker 1: and then he finally did. So that's what's cool about
- 25:46Speaker 1: this team right now is that you, if you're optimistic,
- 25:49Speaker 1: you feel like on all three phases they all have
- 25:51Speaker 1: a chance to score. And you do that enough time,
- 25:55Speaker 1: you're gonna win a lot of games. All right, let's
- 25:58Speaker 1: go to David in Fort Worth.
- 25:59Speaker 16: He's our next Hey, Hey, how you doing.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Nick's not much brother?
- 26:04Speaker 16: Hey, the dude who ran over the deer kind of
- 26:05Speaker 16: took my topic, kind of took my topic. But I
- 26:08Speaker 16: was gonna I was gonna ask you, yeah, yeah, he
- 26:12Speaker 16: sure it did.
- 26:12Speaker 7: Man.
- 26:12Speaker 16: No, lie, but you know, short short term memory. But
- 26:15Speaker 16: like you said, but no, I was gonna actually talk
- 26:18Speaker 16: about Jordan Luis as well, how I personally would like
- 26:20Speaker 16: for him to be on the field spying comandal the
- 26:22Speaker 16: same way that he did a couple of years back.
- 26:24Speaker 6: The one thing that.
- 26:25Speaker 16: Kind of held me back from from saying I for
- 26:28Speaker 16: sure wanted that was we are coming off of a
- 26:30Speaker 16: you know season, well many seasons where our run defense
- 26:33Speaker 16: hasn't been very good, So I'm kind of wanting some
- 26:35Speaker 16: big bodies out there. But man, then I kind of
- 26:37Speaker 16: like snapped into reality and I was like, man, Jay
- 26:40Speaker 16: lou may be a small body, but he's a big heart.
- 26:42Speaker 16: Like I want that guy in there. He's gonna take
- 26:44Speaker 16: on blockers. He's not gonna run around blockers like linebackers
- 26:46Speaker 16: that we've had in the past. He's gonna take him on,
- 26:48Speaker 16: you know. And he's got some attitude. I like how
- 26:50Speaker 16: he gets up in people's face and stuff like that,
- 26:51Speaker 16: and I think that's something that that this defense has
- 26:53Speaker 16: been missing for a very very long time. And then
- 26:56Speaker 16: I did want to touch on one thing I saw
- 26:57Speaker 16: on the sounds from the sidelines. Guys, if you want't
- 27:00Speaker 16: sing sound from the sidelines on Dallas Capalsar comment's amazing,
- 27:02Speaker 16: you guys got to check it out. But I saw
- 27:04Speaker 16: I think it was Joseph. I think that was talking
- 27:07Speaker 16: to Micaeh basically saying like, hey, you know, offense is
- 27:09Speaker 16: going to get in, then we're gonna go out there,
- 27:11Speaker 16: We're going to get to stop, just like we talked
- 27:12Speaker 16: about all week. He's saying something like that, and I
- 27:14Speaker 16: could see Micah just listening to him, and it makes
- 27:17Speaker 16: me have a greater appreciation for him as a player
- 27:20Speaker 16: because me, like a lot of other people may have
- 27:22Speaker 16: thought like, oh, it's just some old guy that's coming in,
- 27:24Speaker 16: you know whatever. But I mean you really can't measure
- 27:27Speaker 16: like the veteran leadership and knowledge that somebody like that
- 27:30Speaker 16: brings to the locker room. So I'm really excited, man,
- 27:32Speaker 16: And yeah, that's hit man short sweet.
- 27:34Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys so much.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, David, appreciate that, you know, that's
- 27:39Speaker 1: cool if that's what I think Jordan and Phillips and
- 27:43Speaker 1: Linval Joseph bring to the table. And so when that happens,
- 27:48Speaker 1: I mean, especially guys like Micah and Tank and anyone
- 27:53Speaker 1: else that's listening, if they buy into that, then you
- 27:57Speaker 1: know you've got a good leader. And you don't have
- 27:59Speaker 1: to be the best player on the team to be
- 28:01Speaker 1: a leader. So I thought Jason Peters did a nice
- 28:04Speaker 1: job of that as an offensive lineman tackle guard a
- 28:08Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Those those guys really looked up
- 28:11Speaker 1: to him. Terrence Steele I remember him saying, you know
- 28:14Speaker 1: that you can learn so much from a guy like that.
- 28:18Speaker 1: And and I don't know what Tyron Smith was as
- 28:20Speaker 1: far as a leader. I mean, he never talked in
- 28:22Speaker 1: the locker, he never talked to us, but I mean,
- 28:25Speaker 1: I mean, I know he talked, but I don't know
- 28:26Speaker 1: what kind of leader he was. But you know, you
- 28:31Speaker 1: leader by lead by example if you can, if you
- 28:33Speaker 1: can look like this and be like this and throw
- 28:36Speaker 1: guys around that do that. Sometimes it's harder for the
- 28:39Speaker 1: great players to be a leaders because it's like, well,
- 28:42Speaker 1: you can't just do what I do. You got to
- 28:43Speaker 1: show me why but I think Linn Val Joseph I mean,
- 28:47Speaker 1: and Phillips both from what they've said in the media.
- 28:51Speaker 1: I really like that because it seems like that's that's
- 28:53Speaker 1: what they think their role is. Come in here, stop
- 28:56Speaker 1: the run, of course, but also help these other guys
- 28:59Speaker 1: and and and let and if Mozzie can learn from
- 29:01Speaker 1: them even better. You mentioned something about Kamara too. The
- 29:04Speaker 1: thing that's tough about a spy on a running back
- 29:09Speaker 1: like that is it's he's going to be in all
- 29:12Speaker 1: different places. So it's not just like he's going to
- 29:15Speaker 1: run out of the backfield and line up wide. When
- 29:18Speaker 1: he does that, Yeah, I like my chances with Jordan
- 29:20Speaker 1: Lewis and and you know, a pro cornerback like that,
- 29:24Speaker 1: but there's also times where he runs the ball right
- 29:26Speaker 1: up the middle, you know, So Lewis is going to
- 29:29Speaker 1: have to get in there and do it. So if
- 29:30Speaker 1: it's just one guy for a player like that, he's
- 29:34Speaker 1: going to have to have the same body type, and
- 29:37Speaker 1: cowboys really just don't have that guy. That's what makes
- 29:40Speaker 1: Kamara so good. So you can't just put one guy
- 29:43Speaker 1: and say, all right, go get him, because he's going
- 29:46Speaker 1: to do different things. There will be times when the
- 29:48Speaker 1: mismatch is favorable, there's times when it won't be. So
- 29:51Speaker 1: that's why I think the Cowboys have to be creative
- 29:53Speaker 1: and having picking their spots and not letting the Saints
- 29:56Speaker 1: know exactly who's doing what, but make Noms stay. When
- 30:00Speaker 1: he's out there number forty one, they're going to figure
- 30:02Speaker 1: somebody will have a job. Maybe two guys will have
- 30:06Speaker 1: their their their job will be to go and stop
- 30:08Speaker 1: him for sure. All right, let's go to Rob in Vegas. Rob. Hey, Nick, Hey, Rob,
- 30:12Speaker 1: what's up?
- 30:15Speaker 8: Listen?
- 30:15Speaker 17: Everybody's talking about being optimistic, and they absolutely should be.
- 30:19Speaker 17: I mean, this team has everything you're looking for. They
- 30:23Speaker 17: have a I say, Dak is now at a top
- 30:26Speaker 17: five quarterback and all their best players are in their
- 30:30Speaker 17: prime CD Micah Diggs Dak, I mean, you got the
- 30:39Speaker 17: best kicker in football. I believe the only question mark
- 30:43Speaker 17: is that running back. And I don't know, as I
- 30:48Speaker 17: thought last week is kind of what we expected one
- 30:51Speaker 17: hundred I don't know what they finished with. They finished
- 30:53Speaker 17: with over one hundred yards.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I.
- 30:56Speaker 17: Mean you would last year we would have took that day.
- 31:00Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think it's.
- 31:03Speaker 17: A Listen, they look good. Zimmer has these guys played hard.
- 31:07Speaker 17: Mike McCarthy, Uh, listen, he's a he's a very good coach.
- 31:12Speaker 17: I mean, I know we want playoff wins and Super Bowls,
- 31:15Speaker 17: but at the end of the day, the man went
- 31:17Speaker 17: twelve and five three years in a rows have never
- 31:19Speaker 17: been done, and everybody should be excited about this team.
- 31:22Speaker 12: I'm excited about this team.
- 31:24Speaker 17: What do you think about Are they talking about it?
- 31:28Speaker 17: You're hearing that they're going to bring Dalvin Cook up.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't. I haven't heard his name at all, really,
- 31:35Speaker 1: and I'm that doesn't mean that they're not doing it.
- 31:37Speaker 1: I just I we haven't heard that yet. He's you know,
- 31:41Speaker 1: he didn't do anything all off season, so he's gonna
- 31:43Speaker 1: it's gonna take him a little bit of time to
- 31:45Speaker 1: get there. But I would imagine that that that's the plan.
- 31:49Speaker 1: The plan is to do that and that and as
- 31:51Speaker 1: good as they looked, you know, like you said, running
- 31:55Speaker 1: game wasn't stellar, it's it's there for the taking. I mean,
- 32:00Speaker 1: and if if he's ready to go, I could see
- 32:01Speaker 1: if they got to get a role for him as well.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I don't know who.
- 32:08Speaker 17: Yeah, to me, it's between it's between Dalvin and Deuce,
- 32:11Speaker 17: and I wish they would give Deuce the ball more.
- 32:15Speaker 17: The one thing I like, we go Dad, but he
- 32:18Speaker 17: doesn't see the hole as good as as Deuce Vaughn does.
- 32:22Speaker 17: And I just think I think you got to give
- 32:24Speaker 17: him more than two carries or whatever you had if
- 32:27Speaker 17: you're gonna, if you're gonna make them active, I like
- 32:30Speaker 17: to see them give him at least ten touches and
- 32:32Speaker 17: let's see what this kid could do. Because to me,
- 32:35Speaker 17: Zeke and Zeke he's gonna be dead.
- 32:37Speaker 6: You know, they like.
- 32:39Speaker 17: We go daddle, so I don't see them moving off
- 32:41Speaker 17: of him unless yeah, you know, it's interest. So to me,
- 32:44Speaker 17: it's the battle between Dalvin Cook and Deuce. But it's like,
- 32:48Speaker 17: well that's not fair to do. Let's see what you know,
- 32:51Speaker 17: give him the ball, do something, and I think he could.
- 32:54Speaker 17: I could do it. Obviously, he can't pass block. We
- 32:57Speaker 17: know that, so just give them the ball. But other than that,
- 33:01Speaker 17: I think this week I don't know much about the
- 33:03Speaker 17: things I know. I know Car he's a good player,
- 33:05Speaker 17: but he's I think home game crowd is going to
- 33:10Speaker 17: be wild. I think Dallas should dominate this game.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, but again it's early and and and
- 33:18Speaker 1: you and I don't know what all the Saints showed
- 33:20Speaker 1: last week. Uh, and I don't know what the Cowboys
- 33:23Speaker 1: showed either, So I still think you're in that uncharted
- 33:26Speaker 1: territory of unscotted looks, as McCarthy likes to say. So
- 33:29Speaker 1: you're still in that, so you know, And then there's
- 33:31Speaker 1: always thanks for the call, Rob, we got to keep
- 33:33Speaker 1: it moving, Thank you so much. Uh, there's always when
- 33:36Speaker 1: you look at the schedule, I don't I don't go
- 33:38Speaker 1: too crazy about oh my god, it's a tough schedule.
- 33:40Speaker 1: I mean, there's three teams on there that are going
- 33:43Speaker 1: to be way better than you think they are, and
- 33:45Speaker 1: there's three teams that aren't going to be as good
- 33:47Speaker 1: as you think. So which ones is? You know, Like
- 33:51Speaker 1: when you looked at it last year and you saw
- 33:53Speaker 1: Detroit at the end of the season, you're like, Okay,
- 33:55Speaker 1: you know a night game should be pretty good. You
- 33:57Speaker 1: know you should be able to win that, but you
- 34:01Speaker 1: never know. You know the same with the Jets last year.
- 34:04Speaker 1: You don't know if Aaron Rodgers is gonna be playing
- 34:05Speaker 1: that game or not. So when you look at this schedule,
- 34:08Speaker 1: it looks like it's tough, but the Saints could be
- 34:10Speaker 1: one of those teams. That's like, man, they were way
- 34:13Speaker 1: better than than we thought they would be. That proved
- 34:15Speaker 1: to be a really good game or a tough game,
- 34:17Speaker 1: so and Cleveland could be the other way. You know,
- 34:20Speaker 1: everyone thought it was going to be a tougher game
- 34:22Speaker 1: than that, you know everyone. All I keep hearing is
- 34:25Speaker 1: that was a tough, grinded out game. Wasn't it pretty?
- 34:28Speaker 1: You all that? When has anything been pretty in Cleveland?
- 34:32Speaker 1: Like ever? Like seriously, like you expect to go to
- 34:34Speaker 1: Cleveland and have a game like that. It's not gonna
- 34:36Speaker 1: be pretty, but the win was and that that's always good.
- 34:39Speaker 1: All right, take our last break here on Cowboys storyline.

- 37:14Speaker 1: Oh my god, Irene, what's going on over there?
- 37:17Speaker 8: Good morning?
- 37:18Speaker 1: Oh what nothing? No, it's laugh for a second. It's
- 37:21Speaker 1: all good. What's up?
- 37:23Speaker 8: Sorry?
- 37:23Speaker 19: Good morning, Good morning? How can I follows an epic
- 37:26Speaker 19: read man? Anyway? Hey, one bit of housekeeping. I realize
- 37:31Speaker 19: I've never been announced with my city. So my city
- 37:33Speaker 19: for you is False Church, Virginia. Like waterfalls and the
- 37:37Speaker 19: place you go to prey Falls.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Church Allow, I'm saying that every time falls Church, Virginia.
- 37:43Speaker 7: There you go, So all.
- 37:44Speaker 19: Right, you two items. I started watching the game filment
- 37:48Speaker 19: for the upcoming game last week's game with the Saints. Uh,
- 37:53Speaker 19: they haven't gotten through it yet, but what I noticed
- 37:55Speaker 19: immediately motion motion and motion theas it's so much so
- 37:59Speaker 19: I looked it up. Eighty eight percent of past plays
- 38:02Speaker 19: the fancise motion. That's going to be huge, especially for young.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Linebackers.
- 38:08Speaker 19: So we'll see how they do with that. And then
- 38:11Speaker 19: a little nugget for bones Fossil. I'm sure he saw
- 38:14Speaker 19: this because I picked it up really quickly. Number forty nine.
- 38:16Speaker 19: I think it's their long snapper. He cannot he can't
- 38:20Speaker 19: stay up. They might have an opportunity for a block
- 38:22Speaker 19: field goal, so I just kept seeing him get knocked down.
- 38:25Speaker 19: But anyway, why doesn't.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Matter for the is that supposed to get knocked down?
- 38:30Speaker 1: Is he I thought, the long snapper, is this a
- 38:34Speaker 1: pun or a field goal? Or which one.
- 38:37Speaker 5: Field field goal?
- 38:38Speaker 1: I thought, I thought, they can't go over him anyway,
- 38:43Speaker 1: I have to.
- 38:43Speaker 19: Watch him gets right next to it. Seemed really weird.
- 38:46Speaker 19: He just kept being on the ground, but they didn't
- 38:48Speaker 19: like block anything. They weren't jumping over top of him
- 38:50Speaker 19: or anything. It was just like they pushed him out
- 38:52Speaker 19: of the way. It was very strange.
- 38:53Speaker 3: All right, all right, I'll pop a.
- 38:57Speaker 19: Clip off up later anyway.
- 38:59Speaker 3: That's it from got a little scout going on out
- 39:04Speaker 3: there and Falls Church, Virginia, Irene's got the motion by
- 39:08Speaker 3: the Saints, and uh, watch out for the long snapper.
- 39:11Speaker 1: I mean, I know they've changed that rule where you
- 39:12Speaker 1: can't just like run over the snapper, but still if
- 39:17Speaker 1: he's on the ground, he's on the ground. Something to
- 39:20Speaker 1: something to look at this week, I'm sure if it's
- 39:23Speaker 1: something on on film, I bet John Fossil has has
- 39:27Speaker 1: certainly found it and he's figuring out ways to get
- 39:30Speaker 1: past it. All right, let's go to Nigel in Arizona.
- 39:34Speaker 1: It's our next caller. Nigel.
- 39:37Speaker 10: Hey, mister, are you happy Wednesday?
- 39:40Speaker 1: Are you doing good?
- 39:41Speaker 10: To talk to you again?
- 39:42Speaker 4: I'm doing great.
- 39:43Speaker 10: Thank you for asking a you know, you look like
- 39:45Speaker 10: a happy man with your kids. I just wanted to say,
- 39:47Speaker 10: I love seeing that you put your little pulse up.
- 39:50Speaker 17: Thank you.
- 39:51Speaker 10: But I got a question. Uh, I don't know if
- 39:54Speaker 10: you're gonna like it or not, but mister Flornoy, Yeah,
- 40:00Speaker 10: this kid to me, you know, you see a guy
- 40:02Speaker 10: like Carlson or rookie DV.
- 40:05Speaker 6: You just see something in him, right he's he's just.
- 40:07Speaker 10: Got a whole different love attitude. And I see that
- 40:11Speaker 10: with Fawn, Like he gets the ball, he doesn't want
- 40:14Speaker 10: to go down debot kind of kind of reflection on
- 40:18Speaker 10: Deebo Samuel type of player. So I was curious what
- 40:22Speaker 10: you think if he's going to get any opportunities this
- 40:24Speaker 10: week to get on the active instead of the double
- 40:28Speaker 10: Jalen Brothers.
- 40:30Speaker 8: I just see.
- 40:31Speaker 10: Something from this kid that I would love to see
- 40:33Speaker 10: him get in the game.
- 40:34Speaker 12: Yeah, well he thinks I appreciate it.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Thank you, Nichel. You know he's uh, he's the bottom
- 40:42Speaker 1: of the totem pole right now, just because Jalen Brooks
- 40:46Speaker 1: is ahead of him, like you said, And and yeah,
- 40:49Speaker 1: I've seen some some good things that of Illinoy. You
- 40:52Speaker 1: you saw him get just get better and better and better. Uh,
- 40:57Speaker 1: even in the preseason in three preseason games. First game
- 41:01Speaker 1: dropped a couple passes, did not I mean it looked
- 41:04Speaker 1: like it was nerves. We're getting the best of him
- 41:08Speaker 1: in that game. Second game looked a better, scored a touchdown.
- 41:11Speaker 1: Third game looked a lot better, also scored a touchdown.
- 41:14Speaker 1: So that's what you want to see every time you
- 41:17Speaker 1: get an opportunity. And then we only see about twenty
- 41:21Speaker 1: minutes of practice, and ten minutes of that is stretching.
- 41:24Speaker 1: So we're out there really to take attendance and see
- 41:27Speaker 1: who's here and who's not here. But it's not like
- 41:29Speaker 1: you're really watching practice so much, so some of those
- 41:32Speaker 1: things are things we won't really be able to see
- 41:34Speaker 1: of how they are doing and how they're getting better
- 41:37Speaker 1: and better. He's going to have to be better than
- 41:40Speaker 1: Jalen Brooks on special teams for them to say let's
- 41:44Speaker 1: play him this week over Brooks, and Brook's been a
- 41:46Speaker 1: nice catch over the middle. So he's done nothing to
- 41:49Speaker 1: come off the field. But these things tend to work
- 41:54Speaker 1: themselves out and then they'll be there'll be an ankle
- 41:56Speaker 1: injury here or there or something where they'll need some help,
- 42:00Speaker 1: and I think that they have a trust in Flinoy.
- 42:02Speaker 1: So I don't know if it'll happen this week or soon,
- 42:04Speaker 1: but they liked him enough to keep him that it
- 42:07Speaker 1: was going to be close for receivers for him to
- 42:09Speaker 1: make it. But he did too much where you're like,
- 42:11Speaker 1: there's no way we're going to draft him, develop him.
- 42:14Speaker 1: He's going to get better and better. Then you cut
- 42:15Speaker 1: him and try to get him on the practice squad.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Not happening. He's going, He's here, and I think it'll
- 42:19Speaker 1: be a matter of time before he gets out there
- 42:21Speaker 1: on the field. All right, all right, Mike in Birmingham, England,
- 42:27Speaker 1: is next. Mike.
- 42:30Speaker 7: Good afternoon, Nick. Nice to speak to you again.
- 42:33Speaker 1: You too.
- 42:35Speaker 7: Yeah, I've actually picked up a bit of COVID unfortunately
- 42:39Speaker 7: since I spoke to your last so tested positive this morning,
- 42:42Speaker 7: so I've had it working from home day today. But
- 42:44Speaker 7: I'm feeling that okay. So so it's all good and
- 42:48Speaker 7: what a great way to be a cowboy. We've got
- 42:52Speaker 7: our QB out, we've got WR one signed up, we've
- 42:56Speaker 7: got Micah pledging his picture, and we've got a big
- 42:59Speaker 7: impact win and it feels good. I'm just thinking, if
- 43:05Speaker 7: you're the Saints and you're the coach team on the
- 43:10Speaker 7: Saint what are you looking at from that as a
- 43:14Speaker 7: possible weakness Because our defense was great, our offense was good,
- 43:20Speaker 7: and that was without really CD getting into full flow,
- 43:23Speaker 7: without really getting going. But the one thing I did wonder.
- 43:31Speaker 1: One that I thought he did.
- 43:33Speaker 7: Thought he did great on his first game back. I
- 43:35Speaker 7: wonder if he benefited a little bit actually from the
- 43:38Speaker 7: fact that it was Carson on the other side and
- 43:41Speaker 7: they targeted Carson a lot and he had all his business.
- 43:46Speaker 1: And I wonder.
- 43:46Speaker 7: If the Saints might look at that and say, all right, then,
- 43:50Speaker 7: well Carson is a weak spot. So are we going
- 43:53Speaker 7: to try out digs and little bit see if he
- 43:55Speaker 7: really is fit and ready to go. I don't know,
- 43:58Speaker 7: be a risky strategy, but I really can't think what
- 44:00Speaker 7: else the saying are going to go up. So I'll
- 44:04Speaker 7: leave you with that sort and just as happy next week.
- 44:08Speaker 1: All right, Well, hope you feel better, Mike, and thank
- 44:13Speaker 1: you for calling in. You know, I I think Diggs
- 44:18Speaker 1: had had a nice game and and I feel like
- 44:20Speaker 1: they threw his side. I wouldn't say through had him,
- 44:25Speaker 1: but they they You know, they they've tested him a
- 44:28Speaker 1: little bit. He he had his guy covered. I mean
- 44:29Speaker 1: most of the time, didn't really give up a lot.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Not at the end of the game, it did feel
- 44:33Speaker 1: like they were throwing a lot of the short passes
- 44:36Speaker 1: and they were kind of going his way. That's one
- 44:37Speaker 1: thing that teams are going to do. They're not afraid
- 44:40Speaker 1: of Diggs when it comes to running at him or
- 44:43Speaker 1: at least throwing the ball in his area short and
- 44:46Speaker 1: letting making him go make the tackle. That's that's one
- 44:49Speaker 1: thing that you know he hasn't done. You know, he's
- 44:52Speaker 1: not night train lane. I mean he doesn't he doesn't
- 44:55Speaker 1: do that, but I mean he gets gets the guy down.
- 44:57Speaker 1: But that that that is one one area that you
- 45:00Speaker 1: can say, all right, let's let's try to run his
- 45:02Speaker 1: side and see if you make him go make the play.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Because the more he's got to tackle probably the less
- 45:07Speaker 1: he's gonna want to. You know, the harder it is
- 45:10Speaker 1: to cover for a sixty minute game too. That that's
- 45:12Speaker 1: the they tried it with Dion two. I mean it's
- 45:15Speaker 1: like it's not like it's a strategy that always works,
- 45:17Speaker 1: but you know, that's the best you can do. Like
- 45:20Speaker 1: I said, before where do you try to exploit them?
- 45:23Speaker 1: You know, you just use you use your playmakers and
- 45:27Speaker 1: and and I think that Kamara will will be all
- 45:29Speaker 1: over the place. And I think that it was so
- 45:32Speaker 1: hard to even judge that game for the defense because
- 45:35Speaker 1: the quarterback on the other side was really that bad.
- 45:38Speaker 1: He wasn't good at all, and he's got his own
- 45:41Speaker 1: problems to deal with now, more than just football, of course.
- 45:44Speaker 1: All right, let's go to uh Jonathan in Fullerton, California. Jonathan,
- 45:50Speaker 1: good morning, are you.
- 45:54Speaker 12: Good? Good grade?
- 45:55Speaker 20: Wanted to call in and personally thank you. I don't
- 45:59Speaker 20: know if you're remember I called last week talking about
- 46:02Speaker 20: my ten year curse finally broken. Because I want to
- 46:08Speaker 20: credit you. I wore my Romo jersey and yeah, they're right,
- 46:13Speaker 20: end of the streak at nine.
- 46:16Speaker 1: Love it.
- 46:17Speaker 20: I was so happy it's been ten years going to
- 46:20Speaker 20: games in person, and then go to the Chess green game,
- 46:23Speaker 20: going to Washington thinking he'll break, going to Chicago thinking
- 46:27Speaker 20: it'll break, and finally did. And oh man, I teared
- 46:31Speaker 20: up after the game because I couldn't believe it. I
- 46:33Speaker 20: was so happy, and yeah, I just wanted to call
- 46:38Speaker 20: on say thank you. Amazing experience Cleveland was so fun, And.
- 46:45Speaker 8: I guess Sagan ever.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Said that I'm scared Cleveland. Cleveland can't be fun. That's good.
- 46:54Speaker 1: Here we go, we go, you gotta here we go?
- 46:56Speaker 1: Oh nice. Well, let's start a news next time you
- 47:00Speaker 1: go to a game. Let's start a new streak.
- 47:03Speaker 20: All right, I'm down, And I guess just I throwing
- 47:06Speaker 20: a question in this Hunter Loopkey seemed like he picked
- 47:11Speaker 20: up a lot of work, a lot of non full
- 47:13Speaker 20: back work.
- 47:14Speaker 8: How do you think how'd you like his usage? Do
- 47:17Speaker 8: you think going forward with.
- 47:21Speaker 20: With I'm totally mind farting or now the tight end
- 47:25Speaker 20: out for a few weeks, do you think he's gonna
- 47:27Speaker 20: pick up some more of that kind of pass?
- 47:29Speaker 8: All right?
- 47:29Speaker 6: I think where did you just go back to full
- 47:31Speaker 6: back work?
- 47:32Speaker 1: What do you let me know what you think a
- 47:33Speaker 1: little bit of both? Thank you Jonathan and Ferguson. And
- 47:36Speaker 1: I don't know if Ferguson's going to be out a
- 47:38Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I mean, I don't even know if
- 47:39Speaker 1: he's going to be out this game. They're trying to
- 47:41Speaker 1: ramp him back and get him ready. If he does
- 47:43Speaker 1: miss the game, I don't expect you missing too Usually
- 47:46Speaker 1: if you're close to playing in one game, and you
- 47:48Speaker 1: don't play, you should be back for the next game.
- 47:51Speaker 1: So if he misses a game, it'll probably just be one.
- 47:54Speaker 1: We'll see what lipke. That's like an h back, a
- 47:57Speaker 1: little bit of full back, a little you know. Can
- 47:58Speaker 1: he run it? Can he catch it the backfield? Can
- 48:00Speaker 1: he block? Can he go in motion?
- 48:02Speaker 6: Uh?
- 48:03Speaker 1: He's he's looking like a very valuable player, especially a
- 48:06Speaker 1: guy that does special teams as well. Quickly, we're gonna
- 48:08Speaker 1: go to one more caller, Lester in Minnesota. Lester.
- 48:13Speaker 12: Hey, how you doing?
- 48:15Speaker 1: Are you?
