• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Good morning and welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Eatman here at his Monday, September the ninth, and the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: football season is underway officially for the Cowboys in a
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: big way. Thirty three seventeen win over the Cleveland Brown
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: sixteen point win in a win that wasn't even that close.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Cowboys after the first drive of the game pretty much dominated.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Not pretty much they did, they dominated the entire game
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and they had a comfortable win up there in Cleveland.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: We can discuss if the Cowboys were that good, if
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Cleveland was that or a combination of both, which usually
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: it is usually is some kind of combination of somewhere
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: in the middle. But it was a great win, great
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: to start for the Cowboys, a lot to be excited about.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: A lot of great things happened in the game, and
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: a lot of players that we were kind of wondering about,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: you know, Zeke Elliott, how he comes back, and how
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: these rookies are going to perform there starting? How does
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: over shown look, what is Brandon Aubrey going to do
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: in his second season?
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Here?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: How does Dak do with the new contract? We can
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: talk about contract. That finally got that one out of
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the way, and what that means for this team. Just
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of things. How CD was gonna look when
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: he comes back? And they checked off a lot of
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the boxes I thought in this game, so we can
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: talk about it. Of course, it's what we do here.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Eight eight eight, eight, five five two two nine seven.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Let's go straight to the phone lines here. Brian and
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Colorado is first? Up?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Brian? What's up? Brian? What's up? Man?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: All right, let's move on. Let's move to the next one. Sorry,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Brian in Colorado?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: All right? Is Michael and Bowling Green? Is he up?
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: It's Michael Bowling Green?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: How you doing?
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Oh Man? Fantastic? Today is no complaints win day. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: mean you can probably find little things, but no complaints.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: I'm my storyline t shirts one and oh I'm beating
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: the Ox Snart leave Flowers in the storyline fantasy football
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: almost one hundred points. I mean, the Cowboys did great.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: I loved it. The only thing is I think they
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: just need to go ahead and give Mike McCarthy's extensions
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: to get that out of the way.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Well, well, I don't know about all that. I mean,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I think we're good on extensions right now. I don't
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: think Mike is getting one. I don't think Mike is
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: getting one. But I'm not saying that they're not deserving.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I just I think after what it took to get
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that deal done with the DAK, Stephen Jones even said
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: he didn't have any more money. He was joking, of course,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. I don't see them doing any
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: kind of contrast stuff. But yeah, you're right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: It was a great win all the way around. Nothing
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: to really be complaining about.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Nope, Yeah it was awesome.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah it was.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: And they beat a playoff team, so I mean, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: they were playoffs last year, so I'm very happy.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and not just a playoff team, but a playoff team,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: thanks Michael. Not just a playoff team, but on the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: road in a place where they haven't lost. They were
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: eight and one last year in the nine home games.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Their only loss was to Baltimore, and Baltimore handled him
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: pretty good. I think they won by it was like
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: twenty eight to seven or something like that. They won
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the game convincingly, and as did the Cowboys. The Cowboys
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: did as well, they won the game convincingly. So just
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: just you know, I really was surprised all along that
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Cleveland was favored. I just I don't know, I don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: maybe I don't give them the respect that they deserve.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I've never thought of Deshaun Watson as one of these
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: top tier quarterbacks. Now he was running for his life yesterday,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and and if it wasn't for him and the strength
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that he's gotten his upper body, I mean that he
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: would have been sacked ten times.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I thought.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I thought the Cowboys did a great job of getting
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: after him in that game. But you know, it was
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: it really was an impressive start for the Cowboys all
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the way around. I thought the defense was just, you know, superb.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I mean they their speed was off the charts at
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: something that's very noticeable now the linebackers are it looks
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: completely revamped. I mean with Eric Kendricks's play, Overshown, I
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: mean Overshown can get from one side line to the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: other in like nine steps.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I mean like that's it's it's amazing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And that tackle that he made on Deshaun Watson on
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: fourth it was fourth down and looked like he was
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: gonna get the corner. He just like shot out of
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: a cannon to chase him down and not only that
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: but then deliver the force.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: It.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: It reminded me, and don't like to compare to this guy,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: but it reminded me of the play that Deshaun Watson
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and the Cowboys they were playing Houston in like twenty eighteen,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: and he tried to get the edge on fourth down
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: to the goal line and Jalen Smith actually you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: chased him down, knocked him down out of bounds. It
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: was an impressive play, probably the best play he's ever
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: had with the Cowboys. But not trying to compare the guys,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying a linebacker that knows angles, that could
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: run and chase down a quarterback and not only that
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: but then deliver a big hit.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: That's what that was.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And the linebackers, you know, we can talk about then more,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: but they were really fantastic. All right, let's go to
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Gavin in Lewisville, Texas.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: That right, yes, sir, today I'm calling from Texas. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: came to see my family and watched the game. We
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: had a great time.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: But you're from Oklahoma though, right.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, all right, I want I wanted to say
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: I'm super excited about the defense. As you were just
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: talking about, I was watching the defense and I was
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: sitting there thinking, maybe, uh, maybe Zimmer is an upgrade.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: And I didn't think that initially initially when Quinn left,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: but it's kind of early to say, obviously, And I
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: think similar to you about watching I don't think he's
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: I don't think he's a top tier quarterback, nor do
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: I think he's the same quarterback he was when he
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: was playing. So obviously there's a better tests to come.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: But the thing I'm concerned about, and I kind of
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: want to hear you speak on. I haven't caught the hostel,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: so I'm not sure if you already spoke about this
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: or that, but I'm concerned about the running game. It's
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: kind of hard to be concerned about it when you
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: went thirty three to seventeen, obviously, but I can't help
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: but think the running game didn't look great to me
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: when we did run the ball, and when we played
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: these better teams like San Francisco Philadelphia. I think we're
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: really going to have to establish a run game. So
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I just kind of wanted to hear you talk about that,
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: and I also wanted to hear your opinion on if
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: you think the running game could use some more creativity.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: And with that, I hang up and listen to you.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Appreciated, all right, appreciate that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I knew that that was was coming, you know, the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: criticism of the running game, but you know, I'm not really.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: That concerned with it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: You say, when they face better teams, this is supposed
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: to be one of the best ones. This is supposed
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: to be one of the best teams in the league
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: when it comes to stopping the run. And you know
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: that's so that's what they do, and they they they
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: try to sell out for that. They've got some big
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: guys up front. They're hard to move. So you know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys averaged four yards of carry. They had to
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: do things kind of on the you know, on the perimeter.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's the thing. That they got Cede
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Lamb on the move and and he had some endo rounds,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: three of them. I mean, there's running back by committee.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: And I think that when we when we say that,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: we think, okay, zeke en Rico and maybe a little
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: bit of Douce fun and I think you have to
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: factor in that they're going to give the ball to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: these receivers. I mean four times it looks like here,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: three to to CD one to Cooks pretty much on
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the same play. So that that'll keep them honest, that
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that'll keep them going side to side and against you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's defense. I mean, that's what that's what they do.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So I'm you know, I know that that in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: second half they had to kind of they shut it
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: down a little bit, but it was very clear that
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: that Cleveland was not going to do anything. So in
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: a game like that, this one reminded me a little
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: bit of the first game last year against the Giants,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: but also the second game against the Jets. If you remember,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Jets weren't moving the ball. I think they won thirty
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to ten. And in the second half, just field goals,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: field goals. We'll just keep stacking points. You don't have
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: to force this thing. As long as you keep scoring,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: they're not going to score and you can get out
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: of here and get the win. And that's that's the
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: way I looked at it. I'm not super concerned about
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the running game. Let's see what happens when you face
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: more teams. But you know, for what we saw in
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: that game, I thought it was it was a good start.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Reggie in Germany. Reggie Germany,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: Oh are you naked? Spinner minute?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: My friend?
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Good? How are you?
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: I'm good? Thank you very much. Man. So my takeaway
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: from the game was it was a very work like
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: performance from both sides of the ball. Hard to make
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: any determination, but I did like the tendencies. I like
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: the tendency from from the defensive line. They looked a
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: little bit stouter. The the the linebackers with under the
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: the leadership of Eric and so playing together with the
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: over oh my god, I can't say the name, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: you know about the second year, first year brother, but
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: they look good together number thirteen and then number fifty
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: and offense under that just looks very good, you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: not not overly impressive, but they did the job. Yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: I have a question for you. This may be a
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: little bit off point, but it's a question regarding him,
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: Trey Lance. We haven't had the opportunity in the time
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: that Trey Lance has been here to see if he's
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: actually evolved positively. You you guys, see a lot more
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: of them than that we do. And I'm asking you
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: have you seen a positive evolution from him or have
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: you seen basically you know, he's standing still. And then
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: I've got an announcement for you. Nick. You said you
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: want to come over in Germany and we wanted we
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: want to hook up when you came. I am trying
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: to get Dallas. Every day. All the performances for for
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: for the NFL teams are in the south of Germany.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: Nothing comes to the North of Germany. The largest two
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: population centers are in the North of Germany at Amberg
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: and in Berlin. And I am trying to get them
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: to to to to show that there is interest in
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: the North for for fall fall games to come up here.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: And if that's something that's a question that you may
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: have to ask Jerry when you get a chance to
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: ask questions. But I'm putting in laid work to try
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: and do that and show that there's some interest here.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: And they have a huge, beautiful stadium here, it's called
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Folks Box Stadium in Amberg. Gorgeous, gorgeous and they can
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: play really good ball games up here. Is that something
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Jerry would be interested in? Because I work in a
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: fight to know and doing it for a reason. So
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: those are my issues. That's my announcement and much love,
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: keep up with good work.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: But thank you, Reggie. Yeah, I get to ask Jerry
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: a question.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: It probably won't be going to North Germany versus South
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Germany or whatever.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Just you know, I.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Contrary to what people some people think, I don't think
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Jerry does run the NFL and make all the decisions
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: like that. But hey, if we go, we go. I'm
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: not trying to say that Germany is Germany because I've
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: never been, but I mean it would be cool wherever
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: we are if we ever get to go to there,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: that would be awesome. I wonder how many teams in
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the league get a big win in their first game
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: and question the first question, or one of the first
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: questions is about the third quarterback. But I understand that
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Trey Lance that people have a lot of you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: desire to talk about him. I think it would go
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: down a little bit after after that performance. I mean
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: after that what happened with Dak. I mean Dak signed,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Dak signed a record deal is the you know, biggest
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: contract in NFL history. So you know what happened with
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: the third quarterback really is has has become a little
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: bit more irrelevant. Is he going to be a backup?
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: He's got to be. He's got to become a backup
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL right now. He hasn't shown that
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: he's going to be a starter. He's got an opportunity.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: In preseason, he had some moments good and bad. He
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: didn't play with the starters, he didn't play against a
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: lot of the starters, and he's been okay, I mean hot,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: hot and cold. I mean I think he's got enough
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: athleticism to show he could probably be a backup quarterback.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Whether that's here, I don't know. We'll see what kind
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: of I would doubt that. I would think that they
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: got to go there. They didn't go cheap on their starter.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: They probably need to go pretty cheap on their backup.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens there with him. All right, let's go.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Let me get a text line question here. This is
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: from Joe in Stanford, Texas. He says, do you think
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys defense is that good? Or does Deshaun Watson
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: help us look better than we are? I think the
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Cowboys defense is that good. I mean Deshaun Watson. Hey,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: he's again, I don't believe he's an elite quarterback, but
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, he's he's been a good quarterback
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: that can, you know, go to the Pro Bowl and
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: and and do that's he's an athletic. I don't think
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: he's you know, his throwing isn't isn't you know, up
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: up to par. But I thought that the defense that
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: really did make him uncomfortable. They got after him in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of ways.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Micah Parsons was just he was He wrecked the game.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: He wrecked the game in the second quarter. He was
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: the best defensive player in the game.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: And and I.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Say that because I was preaching that all week long
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and I and I stand by it, so I'll break
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: my arm patt myself on the back.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I said it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I thought the Cowboys would have a a I thought
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: the Browns would have a much harder time blocking Micah
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Parsons than the Cowboys would have blocking Miles Garrett. And
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: that I think that came to fruition. I mean, yes,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Miles Garrett was was tough, and Tyler Guyden it was
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: an all day thing for him. He did have some issues,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: but Micah was was incredible. He should have had more sacks,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: you know, and I know he knows that he was
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: upset in the locker room.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Not upset, but he was.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: You know, he kept he kept talking about it, like, man,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I should have had three or whatever. But you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: he he did have one. He forced the sack, the
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: first one by I Tank, one of them by Kendricks.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: He tipped the ball that was picked off by Kendricks.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: He was very, very active in the game, and I
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: thought Michaeh was was unbelievable. All right, let's go to
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: More than morning.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: Not bad?
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: I couldn't get in Friday, so I was gonna give
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: him a score prediction. I was gonna say twenty three
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: seventeams to the Cowboys. Never thought I was going to
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: see a thirty three seventeen game. I thought it was
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: gonna be a lot harder fall game. I think the
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: defense may be real. I'm I'm pretty sure they may
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: be real. But I said on the storyliners on on
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: the eggs or Twitter, I love seeing the linebackers fly
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: round and like I've been preaching almost the whole off season,
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: the d line showed up, Mazzie did his thing. The
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: big boys in the middle did that thing. So I
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: loved seeing the linebackers fly round.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I was a.
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: Little concerned because the offense got balled down in the
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: second half, but I kind of was you know, that's
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: one of those things I kind of looked at like, okay, Cleveland.
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: Cleveland kind of got it together, and then the offense
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: looked like they were trying to work through some things.
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: And I love watching the two rookies BB play real hard.
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: I seen him miss a couple of blocks when he
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: was trying to get down the field, but as far
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: as his initial punch, fantastic. Tyler Guiden trying to fight
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: moles Gird all day was the rattling Max. So I
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: enjoyed watching that. You win some, you lose something. I
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: enjoyed watching that, and I think that's all I'm gonna
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: take away from that for now, and I've just called
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: when all.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Right, appreciate it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Uh, it was one of those battles
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: there on with the offensive line. I thought, I thought, Geyton,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: you know, he had his he had his moments, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: there were times where you know, he didn't get a
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: lot of help either and and he he he did okay,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: you know, and the Cowboys were smart about it as well.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I mean that they didn't just you know, run right
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: at Garrett.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: They didn't.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: They didn't just stand there and let and let Dak
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: throw the ball, you know, right there in the pocket.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: There were times where they rolled away from him, you know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: And once Cleveland saw that that was happening, that that
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: one drive, very very impressive touchdown drive to that ended
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: with the touchdown by Zeke. But in that drive you
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: could see that they they were rolling to the right.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Dak's right away from the left tackle and and the
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: where Miles got Garrett was lining up. So by doing that,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: it kind of plays right into their hand. You know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Dak can roll right, he's right handed, he throws. They
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: did that a few times to the point where they
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: actually moved Garrett to the other side. And I thought
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: a very key play in the game was when it
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: was seven to three, first and goal in the seven.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I believe they had did a run or a screened
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: to Zeke that was stuffed for no gain. So there's
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: gonna be second and goal at the seven. That's where
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: it gets tight down there, and Garrett was lined up
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: off sides on he was on facing Steel on the
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: right tackle position. That changed everything. Now it's first. Now
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: it's half the to the goal first and goal to three.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: They handed the ball to Zeke up the middle for
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: a touchdown, which was impressive there. But that play right
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: there was very big because it's seven to three, get
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: a field goals ten to three. But that entire drive
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: was amazing for four different guys caught the ball. Four
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: different guys ran the ball, and some of them were
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: the same. Zeke ran in caught one and so did CD.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: But I mean they spread the ball around. Jalen Brooks
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: had some on that play. Hunter Lipke in the drive,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: so it was a very very good drive. They moved
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: the ball around and went in there and score and
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: that really kind of took that game to another level there.
• 19:09

• 20:50
  Speaker 11: Nick?
• 20:50
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Happy victory Monday.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: How are you.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great? How are you?
• 20:56
  Speaker 12: I'm doing well talking to Beam. The coffee tastes better today.
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: The weather's brighter, more beautiful. Uh, it's always good when
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: the Cowboys get a dub Man. That was awesome, Yeah, impressive,
• 21:08
  Speaker 12: a lot of fun turping. You know, finally got his
• 21:12
  Speaker 12: return touchdown in the regular season.
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: Aubrey.
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: You know, dude is just nails. I really wanted to
• 21:18
  Speaker 12: see that seventy one yarder. That would have been fun.
• 21:23
  Speaker 12: We're seeing Zimmer already using Micah all over the field
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: and the young guys coming through. Eric Kendricks fantastic addition.
• 21:33
  Speaker 12: There's a lot of fun and I think the defense
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: is real. I saw a stat or a note that,
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: you know, the Browns oh line was kind of banged up.
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: They're on a few different reserved guys on the line,
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: but uh, those that line was banged up all of
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: last year with some of those those backups playing, and
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: they were eleven and six and went to the playoffs. Yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: so it's not like they were just rolling out you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 12: nobody's these guys had experience and they were playing good
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: football last year. So yeah, man, that's just super exciting
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: to think about that. I want to give a shout
• 22:09
  Speaker 12: out to Mike McCarthy. You know, all the drama this offseason,
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: you know, Dak potentially playing on the last year of
• 22:16
  Speaker 12: his deal. Shout out to Dak for getting an extension.
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: We love you, Dak, but McCarthy on the last year
• 22:23
  Speaker 12: of his deal. Kind of all this turmoil CD and man,
• 22:26
  Speaker 12: the guys looked ready to play. McCarthy was calling you
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: the offense really well to protect Dak and the young line.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought.
• 22:34
  Speaker 12: I thought he did a really good job. So the
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: last note is Jake Ferguson. I tweeted you, man, hope
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: you're well.
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: But if you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: Need my ACL m C l l C l pcl meniscus, patela,
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: whatever it is, dude, please take it. It's all yours.
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: Just go ball and come back.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's super fan right there. All right, thank you, Zach.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Hopefully he's not gonna need that, you know, from from anybody.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I think again, it's it's early. I'm not a doctor.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I just feel like he's going He's going to be fine.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: That's what I've been told. Uh, that's kind of what
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I saw yesterday on the plane. I actually saw him
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: and and just just got a good vibe from from
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: where he he is. You know, he seemed like he
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: wasn't in bad spirits by any any means. So we'll
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: see what the test looks like. You know, and sometimes
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: you wake up swelling. We'll see if they if they
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: do an MRI on that. But it just didn't seem
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: like it was gonna be a tough situation for him,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: So that that's good news. There a lot of other
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: stuff that you talked about. I do agree that you
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: got to give some credit to McCarthy and and Brian
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: schottenham Er, the offensive coordinator, just the way that they
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: they they called the game, uh and Mike calls the place,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: but the way that they got things set up and
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: and it was it really did to keep you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Cleveland on their toes. And you know, Cleveland had five
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: different quarterbacks last year, so their their team is built for,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of an inside out type of team,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: you know, in the trenches, grinded out type of thing.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: And and and that's something that I will say about
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: the way the Cowboys play the game. It was very
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: clear early Cleveland brings it. They bring the wood. They're
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: they're a tough, physical team. You have to be if
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: you're playing in that division against Baltimore and Cincinnati, Pittsburgh
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: and all that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: They're they are built that way. They're they're tough.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Dak felt it on what the second play the game,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: third play the game whatever, right up the middle with
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: a big time hit and so but as the game
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: went on, the Cowboys were more physical. The Cowboys were
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: bringing the wood. I mean Donovan Wilson, you know, hitting
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: people and and and overshown and and I mean Micah
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: the hooker had had a nice hit over the middle.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: They they really were a physical team as well. They
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: matched that and I thought that was impressive. Again, I
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: understand it's one game. I'm not trying to look ahead,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: and you know me, I'm not going to look all
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: the way ahead. But if this team is is a
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: team that can get in the playoffs, that's the type
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: of football you've got to have there. You've got to
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: be a physical team. Now, you've got to be able
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: to run the ball. And what we saw in that
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: game is that that that's something you know that they
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: need to improve on, but especially second half when they
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: know you're running. You got to be able to run
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: out the clock a little bit better than that. But
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I thought from a physicality standpoint, the Cowboys were really
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: really strong.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: All right, morrow in Oregon? Tomorrow?
• 25:27
  Speaker 13: Yes, sir, How are you doing good? How are you
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: not too bad?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Not too bad?
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: I just wanted to call in and give my two cents.
• 25:35
  Speaker 13: I'll make this quick. I tried to call in Friday also,
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: and I just sent my message into the text line
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: just to have a little receipts here and there. But
• 25:44
  Speaker 13: basically my idea was put it out there as far
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: as what I believe what the storylines would it be
• 25:50
  Speaker 13: for this year. Well, the reason I ended up reaching
• 25:52
  Speaker 13: in today is because somebody touched on one of the
• 25:55
  Speaker 13: topics I believe wasn't going to be a storyline, which
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: was the Lance and Deck Uh story line. I guess
• 26:02
  Speaker 13: I felt like it was put to bed obviously during
• 26:04
  Speaker 13: the pre season. Uh, we can you know, worry about
• 26:07
  Speaker 13: him later.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 26:08
  Speaker 13: The other one that I felt wouldn't be a storyline,
• 26:11
  Speaker 13: which and I feel these were at the beginning of
• 26:13
  Speaker 13: last year was Brandon Cooks. I believe it took till
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: week six for Cooks and Dak to kind of get
• 26:19
  Speaker 13: things going. And the question was how this receiver not
• 26:23
  Speaker 13: you know, how are they not connected and this is
• 26:25
  Speaker 13: not well? Obviously with the holdout and him getting reps,
• 26:28
  Speaker 13: they're on the same page. So I felt like that
• 26:30
  Speaker 13: was the storyline. And the other one that was a
• 26:32
  Speaker 13: huge one was the linebacker death.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: Now it's on the flip side. Where we got the linebackers,
• 26:38
  Speaker 13: we got some youth, we got some uh some some
• 26:42
  Speaker 13: dogs out there. Basically loved watching overshow and fly around
• 26:46
  Speaker 13: and uh, the defense looked good. And I'll just kind
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: of play off of what you uh mentioned here at
• 26:51
  Speaker 13: the very end, I feel like it's it's the linebacker
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: and the youth and the you know, aggressiveness. Uh, these
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: guys don't know what they don't know. That's good and bad,
• 27:00
  Speaker 13: you know. I mean in the beginning, they they they're
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: just going, they're going hard. And then obviously when you
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: get against some experienced team, they're gonna see what you
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: do and try to put you in some difficult spots
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: to see, you know, if you can stay focused and
• 27:15
  Speaker 13: take care of business. So the not knowing what they know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: and that could be good and bad, you know, but
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: in the in the beginning of this first game, it
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: was definitely a good one.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Yep, I totally agree. I mean, with anything it's early,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: there's good and bad, mostly good, though not really any bad.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I mean there were some things, yeah, but it was
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: definitely a very good positive performance. Not to say the
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: odds makers know everything, but they somehow had had Cleveland
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: favored to.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Win this game, and you know, I was surprised that
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I was too.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: But but you know, the Cowboys went dominated the game,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: probably could have won by three touchdowns. You Cleveland got
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: a chief when there at the end, but there was
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: a sixteen point win. It was an absolute blowout. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: uh and I said this to Chris last night too.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: If you don't like the score and you think sixteen
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: wasn't enough, just remember the Packers beat the Cowboys in
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: the playoffs by sixteen points forty eight to thirty two,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: and it felt way worse than that. And it was
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: way worse than that, So sixteen points doesn't always tell
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: the story, yep.
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: Correct, correct. I just wanted to give a quick little
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: shout out of my son Jack to the show he
• 28:21
  Speaker 13: just got a little promotion. He's in the Marines. He
• 28:24
  Speaker 13: got lance corporal, so I just wanted to give him
• 28:26
  Speaker 13: a little shout out.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 28:28
  Speaker 13: And then for you also, congratulations, I believe it was
• 28:30
  Speaker 13: it twenty five years and appreciate everything you guys do.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Thank you, appreciate that. Yep, yep, yeah, different.
• 28:37
  Speaker 13: And I'll all hang up and for the rest of
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: the show. But I just wanted to give him my
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: two steps there.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: All right, appreciate that, thank you, and congrats there to
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: your son, which is a lot more impressive than me
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: being here in twenty five years. What he's doing, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I've said this before, it means a lot to what
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: we do and be able to protect us.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: A lot of respect there, all right.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Before I get to Irene, I will say this though,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: uh you know the power of Twitter, power of X.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Jake Ferguson tweeted out not too long ago. God is great.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: So that's a good news. But I think there there
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: obviously was some fear that that, you know, he could
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: have been a much more serious injury. Turns out it
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: looks like he's got an m c L sprain, so
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: he he he could probably miss some time here. I
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: mean that usually that m c. L. Sprain is is
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: in a four to six week window, maybe two to four,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: so we'll see. Uh, but he's you know, I think
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: I think overall it's positive news, but I wouldn't expect
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: him to be able to play in this game. But
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: we'll see. We'll see how how it goes. It's still
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: early in the week, but I think they survived a
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: big scare, but they still might be some time where
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: he will be out. All right, let's go to Irene
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: in Virginia.
• 29:52
  Speaker 14: Hey there, kay, Chris, let's go here.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: We go one and oh.
• 29:57
  Speaker 14: I didn't want to be a downer on Friday in
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: my ten and seven.
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: This was a lost.
• 30:01
  Speaker 14: I just couldn't stay it on air in week one.
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: So I guess we're going to eleven and six now.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: Anyway, when we open up the season of storyline, I
• 30:12
  Speaker 14: was like, I'm interested in the injuries papped off the
• 30:15
  Speaker 14: trayon dig the Marbion overshawnd it looked like they held
• 30:18
  Speaker 14: up any the training staff. On Friday show, I mentioned,
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: you know, Mike Tank and even Meelan thriving with the
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: offensive line injuries. Mike had nine pressures in a sack
• 30:29
  Speaker 14: can'k had two Kneeland had six pressures. That's crazy.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: That's it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: Go Cowboys populator.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: All right, thank you? I mean yeah, it was Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't have you know, I usually don't go through
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: the season like that and with the win loss, win, loss,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: But I always had a win for this one.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: I really did.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: And maybe it's just because I don't ever put a
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: lot of respect on Cleveland.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: I just don't, or Deshaun Watson for that matter.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Uh So, and nothing, nothing happened Sunday's going to change
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: my mind on that. But I just thought the Cowboys
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: are on a different level, I mean than Cleveland.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: They were.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, without a doubt, their defense was way better
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: than Cleveland's offense. And I thought the Cowboys offense was
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: better than Cleveland's defense. I mean it was not appreciably better,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: but obviously, you know, moved the ball when they needed
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: to and got in position to score. And the special
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: teams by far was on a different level there too.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: So all right, good stuff. Let's take our second break
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: here on Cowboys storyline and we will be right back.

• 32:59
  Speaker 3: this thing. Roland Cowboys thirty three seventeen win over the
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns. And it was a game that wasn't even
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: as close as that we've talked about that they did
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: what they wanted to, especially on defense. I think this
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: is has potential to be a really, really good defense,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: and it starts usually doesn't start there, but I thought
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the difference and the improvement starts with the linebackers.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Thought.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: I thought Eric Hendricks was was awesome. I mean, he
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: was all over the field. He made two sacks and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: an interception, first time in his career that he's done that.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: To two sacks and a pick in the same game.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: You know, Overshown just just hats off to him and
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Trayvon Diggs as well. And also, you know, we'd talk
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: a lot about Kaylan Carson, but you know, he held
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: his own. I mean I thought, I thought he did
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: a nice job. Yeah, they scored a touchdown on him
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: late and you know or in the third quarter on
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: fifth down or sixth down, whatever, that was what a
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: mess that play was That the officials just completely botched that.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know, I don't know who
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: they said first down to or why Cleveland thought it
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: was first down or I don't see that part. Maybe
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: somebody did give the first down market, but they didn't
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: give it to the chain game because each side said
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: fourth and in inches, and that's all you have to
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: go off of was fourth in inches. That's what you see.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: It's big orange stick and it has a four on
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: it and they throw it in complete pass, so you
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: get off the field. You know, they got to stop
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: for them to come back like that, and then they
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: couldn't review the previous spot because they'd already run a play.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: What a mess.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I know McCarthy was upset about that, but it didn't
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: really lead to much of anything. They did score there,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: but they didn't, you know, get back in the game
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. All right, Kurt in Arkansas's next?
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, are you good?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: How are you doing.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Well? I'm great, Victoria victory minday, and uh, I want
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: to tell Chris thank you for remembering me.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Means a lot, Yeah, of course.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: And how about them cowboys?
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: All right? Was your question? You got a question?
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Oh well, no, not really how impressive do you think
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Kendricks was and Linn val Joseph in their first game?
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, thank you, Kurt Lyn val Joseph.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: He played some you know, in the middle, didn't didn't
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: have a ton of snaps. I don't have the actual
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: play snap chart in front of me, but you know
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I I looked at him a few times. There were
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: a couple of plays where he was in there with
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips where they they did exactly what you're supposed
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: to do. There was one particular run where Kendricks came
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: flying in and made it made a tackle on about
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: about a one yard game. But it was because those
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: defensive exactly what you're supposed to do. They they hold
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: up that you know their their side. They don't get
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: double team, they don't get pushed back, and they allow
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: the linebackers to be free and just go right in
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: and make the play. And that's that's something we just
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: didn't see a lot of last year, which you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: a the defensive tackles holding up like that, be the
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: linebackers are able to able to fill the gap like that.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Really really impressive there, and and you know, I thought,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: like we talked about with Kindrid.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: He was he was really awesome. All right, let's go
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: to Rob in Vegas. Hey, Nick, what's up?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: We go?
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Here, we go.
• 36:41
  Speaker 15: Great when congratulations to Dak a little more money than
• 36:46
  Speaker 15: I even thought. Sure I got to be fifty seven
• 36:49
  Speaker 15: and a half fifty eight.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: But hey, sixty sixty.
• 36:53
  Speaker 15: He's listen, he's a he's a he's a great guy
• 36:57
  Speaker 15: off the field also, which is very important when you're
• 36:59
  Speaker 15: investing a kind of money.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, just fantastic leader too, you know. And and
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: he didn't miss a didn't miss a practice or you know,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: he missed a couple of practices, but he was there
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: every single day. Uh, you know, even through it all,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: he you know, he kind of stood to his guns, like, hey,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: this is what I'm gonna you know, this is my number.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Obviously sixty was the number, and you know he stuck
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: to that. And you know, I don't know if you
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: would say who won the negotiation and all this, but
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I just know this, you know that that was obviously
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: the point that he wanted.
• 37:30
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it's a great move. I thought the
• 37:34
  Speaker 15: game obviously it was great. It kind of answered some
• 37:38
  Speaker 15: of the questions I had. You know, we talked about
• 37:41
  Speaker 15: the running back. Yes, that's how it's going to be,
• 37:43
  Speaker 15: running back by committee until one guy stands out. I
• 37:47
  Speaker 15: wanted to see if they could run the bull in
• 37:49
  Speaker 15: from the five, and sure enough, Yeah, last it in.
• 37:53
  Speaker 15: I thought that was was excellent. You're going up against
• 37:56
  Speaker 15: maybe the best defensive end in football, right and he didn't.
• 37:59
  Speaker 15: He didn't allow Garrett to wreck the game like Micah
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: wrecked the game in Cleveland, and there was no penalties.
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: I don't remember any penalties.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Phoebe.
• 38:11
  Speaker 15: I didn't hear his name the whole game. It's hard
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: to focus on a guy during the game, so I
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: don't know if he did, you know, Gray, But listen,
• 38:19
  Speaker 15: I didn't hear his name. So that tells me whether
• 38:21
  Speaker 15: they say you don't hear a guy's name on Alpha
• 38:23
  Speaker 15: the line, he's doing good and Turpin, you finally did it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 15: You know, he was so close. I said, I just
• 38:32
  Speaker 15: had a feeling when I called it the other day,
• 38:33
  Speaker 15: I said, I have a feeling he's going to do something,
• 38:36
  Speaker 15: and he just he was cruising. I mean, he looked
• 38:40
  Speaker 15: the defense. It's funny how I always say the team
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: takes on the personality of the coach. The defense they
• 38:49
  Speaker 15: all want to tackle. They all want to hit. Giggs
• 38:52
  Speaker 15: was hitting. They were all hitting over shown you know.
• 38:57
  Speaker 15: You know, I tore my a cl and it took
• 39:00
  Speaker 15: a while just to be able to play a little
• 39:02
  Speaker 15: bit of rack a ball. This guy, you would have
• 39:05
  Speaker 15: never thought he had an injury. I mean, he he's
• 39:08
  Speaker 15: like a heat seeking missile or what I love about him,
• 39:10
  Speaker 15: and he don't hesitate. If he sees it, he goes.
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: I just thought the defense was awesome. We got a
• 39:17
  Speaker 15: little taste that I'm moving Micah. I think that's what
• 39:21
  Speaker 15: he needs to keep some fresh. The only downfall of
• 39:24
  Speaker 15: the game for me was Mike macaud you have to
• 39:28
  Speaker 15: call a timeout when Aubrey's kicking the sixty six yard
• 39:31
  Speaker 15: field goal, called the time out. I don't care if
• 39:34
  Speaker 15: that you thought they made a mistake. My man blasted
• 39:37
  Speaker 15: it through and he got no credit.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 39:40
  Speaker 15: But other than that, great game, and now we look
• 39:43
  Speaker 15: forward to the next week.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I'm excited, right, you know, thanks for the Carl rob
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Twice now in the last month, we've seen Brandon Aubrey
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: hit a sixty six yard field goal off grass and
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: it hasn't counted in the record book. He did it
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: you know, in a preseason game that did count in
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: the game, but obviously not in the record book. And
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: then he did it, I guess for fun here in
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: this one. I'm glad they didn't do the seventy one.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I was not one that was cheering for that. I
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: was like, don't do this, don't do this. All I
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: could see when I was watching them it looked like
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: they were gonna try. All I was staring at was
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Brack Kaufman and Tyler Goydon, and I'm just thinking Alabama
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Auburn the kick six. I'm like, these guys are aren't
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: the players you want to be chasing around. If he
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: doesn't get it there, maybe he could get it there.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: But even if you just if you just strike it
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: not perfect for seventy one. It could go fifty five.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: And then now you're chasing some guy for the Browns
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: with personnel that you don't want to be chasing anyone.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: So it just didn't seem worth it. It didn't seem
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: worth it to try it to go up twenty three
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: to three. When you're up twenty to three, I'm glad
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: that they did what they did there. All right, let's
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: go to Jeremy and Salt Lake City.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, what's going on?
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: Hi? I'm great. How are you good? Good? So? Yeah, overall,
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: just feeling really good on a victory Monday, especially when
• 41:20
  Speaker 11: I was with you. I never had them losing to
• 41:22
  Speaker 11: the Browns. I know a lot of people did.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: Shaun Watsons still kind of questionable to me. And the
• 41:31
  Speaker 11: main thing was I was really excited to see the
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: young talent that we've drafted coming through a lot of speculation,
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: a lot of people complaining. I'll say that throughout the
• 41:46
  Speaker 11: off season drove me nuts about how we didn't do anything. Well,
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: this is why. So we can let our young people
• 41:54
  Speaker 11: do what they're supposed to do, do what they're drafted
• 41:56
  Speaker 11: to do. And I think this game was a great
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: example of that. Looking I kind of had a question
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: for you and you were just kind of talking about
• 42:04
  Speaker 11: that seventy one yeard of the sixty six yarder that we.
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: That he hit.
• 42:10
  Speaker 11: What exactly I mean, I know it was a delay
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: of game is what they called, But there was some
• 42:14
  Speaker 11: sort of weird confusion on the sideline and coming across
• 42:18
  Speaker 11: on the you know, watching on TV, it didn't really
• 42:20
  Speaker 11: come across what exactly happened. It was like they shortened
• 42:25
  Speaker 11: our play clock, yeah, and didn't give us, which was
• 42:29
  Speaker 11: garbage because that takes away you know, he would have
• 42:32
  Speaker 11: tied the NFL record with that, so that kind of
• 42:35
  Speaker 11: took me off. But overall, I'll be short, loved the game,
• 42:39
  Speaker 11: love the show, love every Cowboy nation. Let's get some
• 42:42
  Speaker 11: positivity going now. You know, we had the most negative
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: off season, but it's time to be positive. Time to
• 42:49
  Speaker 11: be excited and take easy. Brother.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Well let's also be you know, be fair about it too,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: like thanks for the call. But you know, what the
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: fans were were upset about was just seeing other teams
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: looking like they were getting better by by making moves
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: and doing that. But you're right, I mean that they
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: they focused all along on the guys that that they
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: have on this roster. They they've drafted well, and they
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: wanted to try to develop that. You know, one of
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: the big players that they wanted to develop was Sam Williams.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: This was supposed to be a big year for him,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: and of course he had the ACL injury and so
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: he's he's out for the season.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: But but it was a lot of players like that.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: It was the Tolberts. It was the Rico Donnells.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: It was guys that you know that they said, let's
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: let's go with these guys instead of trying to overpay,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: which that's what they feel like. They feel like that
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: is overpaying for the most part to get guys in
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: free agency, especially in the first couple of weeks. Now
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: some of these guys are sitting out there and they've
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: still able to add Alynvald Joseph or trade for Jordan
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Phillips or whatever. But the one guy they did they
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: did sign was Eric Kendricks, and so far, so good.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: He definitely looked really good. Now, as for that play
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: that you're talking about, I was actually talking to Aubrey
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: after the game as well, and I asked him to
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: explain what the confusion was, and he said, most of
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: When you go out there to.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Decide that you're going to do a field goal, that
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: they will you see the refs do this. They will
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: reset the clock, a play clock to twenty five, whatever
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: it is, just to get the special teams out there
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: to get both sides. That's it's a discretion up to
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: the officials. But nine times out of ten is what
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Bryan brannan said, nine times out of ten they do that.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: He blamed himself for not noticing that. I don't know
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: if it's his job to notice that. I don't know
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: if I want him looking at the play clock. He's
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: got to go with the whole operation. There's other people.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, I.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Don't know if the Cowboys lead the league, but they've
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: got more coaches than anyone, and there should be a
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: playclock a playclock coach all the time. Maybe there is,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: maybe there's five of them, but either way, yeah, McCarthy
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: probably could have called time out through all that. It's
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: it's unfortunate that that that didn't, you know, happen, but
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: you know, Cowboys still got the win as an impressive
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: win as well. All right, Pete in Connecticut.
• 45:19
  Speaker 16: Pete, Hey, Nick, how's it going good?
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: How are you doing good?
• 45:23
  Speaker 16: Happy for the win. I just want to say I
• 45:26
  Speaker 16: really liked the way our linebackers looked and it was
• 45:28
  Speaker 16: nice to see Overshown played the way he did. And uh,
• 45:32
  Speaker 16: I think they look really aggressive and I think we're
• 45:34
  Speaker 16: gonna have a solid season. And my son just wanted
• 45:37
  Speaker 16: me to call in and say thank you for bringing
• 45:40
  Speaker 16: Zeke back because he's a big Zeke fan, and he
• 45:42
  Speaker 16: went nuts seeing him get that touchdown. Yeah, and we
• 45:46
  Speaker 16: just had a baby girl born yesterday, so if you
• 45:49
  Speaker 16: could wish Meadow a happy birthday, that'd be great. Thank
• 45:51
  Speaker 16: you very much, Nick.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. Congrats to that, and congrats to your new edition. Yes,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: and and the Cowboys with an old edition and Ezekiel
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Elliott coming back, and I mean, it's too bad about
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: the penalty there on Tolbert. The first play of the game,
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: first play of the games, Zeke comes back and hurdles
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: the guy. Just how cool that would have been if
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: that that would have been his first play, because we
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: all remember his last play, his last play. I mean,
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: that's more like it, right, his last play if you
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: remember forty nine ers playoff lost crazy wild play to
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: try to put him at center and he got bulldozed
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: over and that was the last play that he had
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: with the Cowboys, And so I was really glad that
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: now he's back and that won't be his last play
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: ever for the Cowboys. But he comes back and does
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: a hurdle. He looked really good, you know, it was
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: he didn't get a lot of opportunities, but the pass
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: protection though that's why he's got some value. He did
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: a really good job of blocking. Did have one hold,
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: i believe, but for the most part, did a nice
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: job in there, and that's kind of what you expect.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Does the dirty work. Got the touchdown as well. Really
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: cool to see him in there. All right, We're going
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: to stake one more call in here. Robbie is in
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Coco Beach, Florida. Robbie, what's up?
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Nick?
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: First off, shout out to your boy. How do you
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: do on Saturday?
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: He did good? Thank you for asking. His first game.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, center number fifteen got all the snaps in there
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: and didn't get a catch, but they won the game
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: and he had a lot of fun. So those are
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: really really good good things.
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: And our speaking of centers, our center looked all right, Okay.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: It's all right. He didn't make it. He didn't get his.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: First game of the year.
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: Can't get too high, can't get too low.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it was a good game.
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: I'm happy. I mean, we showed some signs of improvement.
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: Happy with our defense, Happy with our linebackers and Mazzi
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: and all those guys in the middle where we needed
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: to be stronger. Tyler got beat up a little bit,
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: but that's to be expected against Miles Garrett, right right, right.
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: But other than that, man, it was a great game.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, it really was. I mean it was a
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: great game. I mean other than that, and I mean
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: because there really wasn't. I mean, the running game was
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: was okay, Tyler got was okay.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: That's your negatives. Are the two guys that were okay?
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Everything else was was awesome And you expected that you
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: you expected that to happen with Geyton like you said, so,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: I mean it was.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: It was a very very great first game. Yeah, very impressive. Yes, yes, sir.
• 48:21
