- 0:03Speaker 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 1: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline and we're gonna talk
- 0:25Speaker 1: about Cowboys and Texans. Houston thirty four Dallas ten. Doesn't matter.
- 0:32Speaker 1: If the game felt closer than that, it wasn't. Cowboys
- 0:37Speaker 1: hung in there for a little bit. But just like
- 0:39Speaker 1: we've seen two weeks in a row, you play four quarters,
- 0:42Speaker 1: you keep going and keep leaning on the other team
- 0:44Speaker 1: keeps leaning on you. Next thing you know, it's a blowout.
- 0:48Speaker 1: And that's what happened again as the Cowboys fall to
- 0:51Speaker 1: three and seven on the season. They're zero to five
- 0:55Speaker 1: now at at and T Stadium. Not good, not good.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Last time they lost five straight games at home to
- 1:03Speaker 1: open the season was nineteen eighty nine. Would like to
- 1:06Speaker 1: think we could compare those two teams, but it is
- 1:10Speaker 1: what it is, and it's bad right now obviously for
- 1:12Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Let's talk about it. Eight eight eight eight
- 1:16Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven Cowboys with Cooper Rush,
- 1:22Speaker 1: he plays the whole game. Had some moments there in
- 1:25Speaker 1: the in the third quarter, fourth quarter, I didn't really.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I just seeing some highlights. I didn't realize that pass
- 1:32Speaker 1: was actually going to Miingo on fourth and two, which
- 1:34Speaker 1: I thought was a huge play in the game. I
- 1:37Speaker 1: disagreed with it before the snap, disagreed with it during
- 1:40Speaker 1: the snap, and of course afterwards, you already took points
- 1:44Speaker 1: off the board. You've got to get the points back.
- 1:46Speaker 1: You have to put the points back. I hated the
- 1:49Speaker 1: fourth and two call down there. You just don't have
- 1:51Speaker 1: the pieces that can make those type of plays. In
- 1:54Speaker 1: my opinion, your quarterback is not a athletic, you know,
- 2:00Speaker 1: improvising quarterback. You have no running game, so you know
- 2:03Speaker 1: you're not going to run it down there. They know
- 2:05Speaker 1: you're not going to run it down there. And like
- 2:07Speaker 1: I said, you took points off the board knowing, let's
- 2:10Speaker 1: go try to get a touchdown. But if not, we're
- 2:12Speaker 1: gonna get closer. We're going to make another field goal.
- 2:15Speaker 1: When you got to fourth and two, I just think
- 2:18Speaker 1: there's no way you had to get that field goal there.
- 2:20Speaker 1: You had to go down seven. What did it have mattered?
- 2:23Speaker 4: Not?
- 2:23Speaker 1: Probably not, but but my point and I wrote this
- 2:27Speaker 1: in my article on Dallas Cowboys dot Com that that
- 2:31Speaker 1: you have you know, you have no margin for error,
- 2:34Speaker 1: so you can't make any and the coaches can't make
- 2:37Speaker 1: any of the players can't make any. But you have
- 2:40Speaker 1: to make this game as close as you can for
- 2:42Speaker 1: as long as you can. Just keep it close and
- 2:45Speaker 1: then try to steal one at the end. And I
- 2:48Speaker 1: get trying to score a touchdown makes it closer, but
- 2:51Speaker 1: the odds of scoring right there just didn't seem didn't
- 2:55Speaker 1: didn't seem good. All right, let's go, we got the
- 2:58Speaker 1: phone lines are open right now. Let's go to Zach
- 3:00Speaker 1: in Atlanta though, to start us off, Zach, what's up morning, Nick?
- 3:04Speaker 5: How are you doing good?
- 3:05Speaker 1: How are you?
- 3:07Speaker 6: I'm okay?
- 3:08Speaker 5: You know, the season is just a big pile of
- 3:12Speaker 5: sheet metal, hot steaming sheet metal. I'm glad that I
- 3:18Speaker 5: told Beam, Hey man, glad he didn't get crushed by
- 3:21Speaker 5: that thing. Glad. Sounds like everybody made it out okay
- 3:24Speaker 5: from the debris. But it's kind of wild and a
- 3:28Speaker 5: microcosm of the season.
- 3:30Speaker 6: Man.
- 3:30Speaker 5: You try to do something right, you know, try to
- 3:33Speaker 5: try to boost them around and open up the roof,
- 3:35Speaker 5: and it just doesn't goat the Cowboys way. So I
- 3:41Speaker 5: don't have a lot to say, just sad seeing Zach
- 3:44Speaker 5: Martin get up off the turf and you know he's
- 3:47Speaker 5: given this franchise everything and played at a high level.
- 3:51Speaker 5: You start to think about all the other guys who
- 3:53Speaker 5: have played well for us and having sniffed an NFC
- 3:57Speaker 5: championship game or Super Bowl any of that. So it's
- 4:03Speaker 5: it's a tough day. I'm not surprised by the outcome.
- 4:07Speaker 5: But again, here's the roller coaster. It's a low point
- 4:11Speaker 5: and it's a short, short week, quick turnaround. Let's get
- 4:16Speaker 5: it on Sunday and try to have some little wins.
- 4:19Speaker 5: I like to seeing Illinois get in the mix, like
- 4:22Speaker 5: seeing you know, Micah is is weapon X. I mean,
- 4:28Speaker 5: Devenson had a great game, but he's disruptive and you know,
- 4:33Speaker 5: just trying to celebrate the little things.
- 4:35Speaker 7: But it is what it is.
- 4:37Speaker 5: Man, Appreciate you and Beam doing what you'll do, and
- 4:40Speaker 5: I'll hang up and listen.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Take care, all right, thanks San. Yeah, obviously you catch
- 4:48Speaker 1: the reference to start the game. You know, it could
- 4:52Speaker 1: have been a scary scene. I was watching it. I
- 4:55Speaker 1: actually was watching the whole thing happen. I was sitting
- 4:57Speaker 1: there in my seat and you know, looking up to see,
- 5:01Speaker 1: oh you know, the roof's open, it's only been open
- 5:03Speaker 1: for ten minutes or so, and next thing I know,
- 5:06Speaker 1: I see something kind of falling, but not quickly, just
- 5:10Speaker 1: kind of you know, I'm just kind of floating along.
- 5:14Speaker 1: And I certainly did not think it was a piece
- 5:16Speaker 1: of metal because just the way it was just kind
- 5:20Speaker 1: of taking its time to get down. You knew it
- 5:22Speaker 1: was some kind of debris, but wasn't sure what that was.
- 5:25Speaker 1: And then I kind of watched it go to the
- 5:27Speaker 1: ground and fortunately didn't hit anybody. You know, add that
- 5:32Speaker 1: to the list, and it's a growing list and we're
- 5:35Speaker 1: not done yet. But it's you know, when you think
- 5:38Speaker 1: you've seen it all, it's I guess it's a good
- 5:42Speaker 1: reminder that you haven't. But some of these things, you know,
- 5:46Speaker 1: some of these things that are happening every game, every game,
- 5:50Speaker 1: it's been something it's you know, somewhat out of the ordinary,
- 5:54Speaker 1: and it's just like, you know, you couldn't make it
- 5:56Speaker 1: up if you tried. So as for the game part
- 6:00Speaker 1: that he mentioned, yeah, this is a young player's you know,
- 6:06Speaker 1: this is a time to evaluate some young guys. But
- 6:09Speaker 1: you know they're not doing it necessarily because they just
- 6:13Speaker 1: want to it's some of this is out of a necessity,
- 6:16Speaker 1: you know, Like I think we had some callers to
- 6:18Speaker 1: say they wanted to see a Flinoy, and you know,
- 6:20Speaker 1: they'd seen enough of Jalen Brooks are just enough to say,
- 6:23Speaker 1: all right, we know what he is. And so they
- 6:25Speaker 1: you know, and the Cowboys actually did the same thing.
- 6:27Speaker 1: They decided to go with Flinoy. He played a lot
- 6:30Speaker 1: in the game. He started actually looking at the starting lineup.
- 6:34Speaker 1: He started his first game, and then they played bingo.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Some he didn't get. He got a couple of targets
- 6:41Speaker 1: sort of. There's a couple of passes that weren't really
- 6:45Speaker 1: close to him and Cooper rushed. That was his kind
- 6:48Speaker 1: of night. I mean, he threw the ball a ton.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I mean I was shocked to see that. He threw
- 6:53Speaker 1: it fifty five times, three hundred and fifty four yards,
- 6:58Speaker 1: but not not that effect of And there's too many
- 7:01Speaker 1: times the pass was either low, high behind him just
- 7:05Speaker 1: wasn't accurate at all. Let's go to John in Delaware.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Next caller, John, how are you doing? Are you?
- 7:15Speaker 8: I've been doing better.
- 7:16Speaker 9: I talked to you last week. It was a Buffers
- 7:18Speaker 9: on call last week. I just figure band aid off.
- 7:22Speaker 9: They just played the young players. We evaluate. I mean,
- 7:27Speaker 9: I just I told my friends and I say, I
- 7:29Speaker 9: was to watch some of the games. I'm a fan.
- 7:31Speaker 9: I watched the I just I'm ready for a complete rebuild.
- 7:38Speaker 9: We have some players. I don't know if we're gonna
- 7:39Speaker 9: be able to keep Michael Parsons, because you know, we
- 7:42Speaker 9: might need him for the picks.
- 7:44Speaker 1: But what do you think I keep Michael Parsons. That's
- 7:48Speaker 1: what I think. I think you keep him on the
- 7:51Speaker 1: team because I think he is a really good, disruptive player.
- 7:55Speaker 1: And if they are making any kind of changes, which
- 7:58Speaker 1: we'll see some of these coaches are on one year deals,
- 8:02Speaker 1: if they're making a new change on defense, I have
- 8:05Speaker 1: a defense that's built around what what he can do.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I think he's I think this team. I think he's
- 8:13Speaker 1: a three four scheme player and and I think he's
- 8:17Speaker 1: dynamic enough where you could build around him. And so
- 8:21Speaker 1: I try to find some pieces that can that can
- 8:24Speaker 1: you know, be a three three four guy a three
- 8:27Speaker 1: four scheme I don't I just I don't love the
- 8:31Speaker 1: idea of trading him because you know, even with the picks,
- 8:36Speaker 1: it takes luck to actually pick the right guys that
- 8:42Speaker 1: that are difference makers, and the Cowboys got lucky that
- 8:45Speaker 1: most of the teams did not really do their homework
- 8:49Speaker 1: on Micah Parsons as a pass rusher, and I'm not
- 8:52Speaker 1: sure the Cowboys did either. I'm not sure the Cowboys
- 8:56Speaker 1: knew he was that. Let's just be let's be honest
- 8:59Speaker 1: about it. They because they wouldn't have traded out of
- 9:02Speaker 1: that pick. They were thinking corners. They wanted to get
- 9:04Speaker 1: those two corners. They weren't trying to trade for, you know,
- 9:07Speaker 1: and try to draft Michael Parsons. It was between Micah
- 9:10Speaker 1: Parsons and the offensive lineman that went to the Chargers
- 9:15Speaker 1: from Northwestern. I forgot his name, actually, but those two
- 9:20Speaker 1: guys were the ones that they were picking. If teams
- 9:23Speaker 1: knew that Michaeh. Parsons could rush the past or the
- 9:26Speaker 1: way he has done, he would have been probably the
- 9:28Speaker 1: second pick in the draft, maybe second. You know, I
- 9:31Speaker 1: still think Trevor Lawrence goes but second or third. So
- 9:36Speaker 1: what my point is is trading him to get picks
- 9:39Speaker 1: you don't know if you're gonna get another dynamic play
- 9:42Speaker 1: you don't. You don't know that, And I know I
- 9:44Speaker 1: see some upside in that you don't have to trade,
- 9:46Speaker 1: you don't have to sign them. But I think I
- 9:49Speaker 1: would look to build around him with the defense, you know,
- 9:54Speaker 1: in the future, That's the way I would go there.
- 9:56Speaker 1: All right, Next caller, Sebastian, Right, Hello, how are.
- 10:04Speaker 10: We doing there, sir?
- 10:05Speaker 7: Good morning.
- 10:07Speaker 10: I'm doing just fine. I'm doing just fine. You know,
- 10:09Speaker 10: I'm sitting there watching Monday and I had I just
- 10:12Speaker 10: had to chuckle, man, I said, dang, now the team
- 10:14Speaker 10: and the stadium are falling apart. But it's just a
- 10:16Speaker 10: blessing that happened on a Monday and not on Friday,
- 10:19Speaker 10: because there were, in fact people sitting there Friday. So,
- 10:22Speaker 10: you know, just as a microcosm for the season as
- 10:24Speaker 10: a whole, small pieces just keep falling off. Nobody expected
- 10:28Speaker 10: coming into the season that Zach Martin would take such
- 10:30Speaker 10: a drastic step back this year. Didn't expect to lose
- 10:33Speaker 10: your quarterback or have these deals play out the way
- 10:35Speaker 10: that they did. But I keep hearing this word blowout
- 10:40Speaker 10: tossed around, and I don't think that's fair to the defense.
- 10:42Speaker 10: I think the defense yesterday did the absolute best that
- 10:45Speaker 10: they could with what they had, right and they kept
- 10:48Speaker 10: you in that game, the offense came out and laid
- 10:51Speaker 10: an egg, you know, so it is kind of unfair
- 10:54Speaker 10: to the defense to see the seventeen points, can you
- 10:56Speaker 10: hear me?
- 10:57Speaker 1: And special teams and yeah and yeah.
- 11:00Speaker 10: Man again, yeah yeah, so surprisingly, very surprisingly. Now some
- 11:06Speaker 10: I wouldn't put it on exactly nine Turpin. Turpin actually
- 11:09Speaker 10: did a decent job. But the penalties and stuff like that.
- 11:12Speaker 10: It's just everything that we've been played with all season
- 11:14Speaker 10: just keeps coming back again and again and again. But
- 11:19Speaker 10: it wasn't like the offensive line didn't hold up yesterday,
- 11:22Speaker 10: even with Zach you know, struggling and still giving up
- 11:25Speaker 10: a sack or two. We didn't have a horrible game
- 11:28Speaker 10: from the offensive line. It was just there was poor
- 11:30Speaker 10: play calling, There was poor quarterback play. And I don't
- 11:34Speaker 10: think that four would have done any better. I don't.
- 11:35Speaker 10: I don't think Dak would have done any better in
- 11:37Speaker 10: the situation that he was given. There's just something wrong
- 11:39Speaker 10: with the offense as a whole. Has been that way
- 11:43Speaker 10: this whole season. But I'm gonna hang up listen to
- 11:45Speaker 10: what you guys have to say. Just wanted to call
- 11:47Speaker 10: and say, hey, man, Rome is burning, but we're all
- 11:49Speaker 10: doing just fine. Today, you guys have a great day,
- 11:52Speaker 10: and all the fans out there that keep calling in,
- 11:54Speaker 10: those are the true Blues, because we're gonna keep calling you,
- 11:56Speaker 10: mister eman. We love the show, we love you giving
- 11:59Speaker 10: us a voice, and then out let you guys have
- 12:00Speaker 10: a great.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Day, all right, appreciate it. I'm not so sure about that, Sebastian.
- 12:04Speaker 1: I mean, the lines are open right now. Usually after
- 12:07Speaker 1: a Monday, it's tough to get in. That's not necessarily
- 12:11Speaker 1: the you know, maybe the case right now. I think
- 12:15Speaker 1: everyone's tired, everyone's frustrated about the game and about where
- 12:18Speaker 1: this team is headed. And I don't blame him, you know,
- 12:21Speaker 1: it is a frustrating game. I disagree with the part
- 12:24Speaker 1: about I don't think Dak would have done better. I mean,
- 12:26Speaker 1: I do think he would have done better than that.
- 12:28Speaker 1: He's a more accurate quarterback than what Cooper Rush showed
- 12:32Speaker 1: in the game. It gives you a little bit more
- 12:34Speaker 1: options to in the pocket. But you know, it's he
- 12:40Speaker 1: hasn't done a lot better. I mean, I do think
- 12:43Speaker 1: he's a better quarterback, but I mean he hasn't done
- 12:45Speaker 1: a lot better than what we've seen there. But you know,
- 12:49Speaker 1: just just just a frustrating time right now, because you know,
- 12:56Speaker 1: you're right. The defense did play well. The defense played
- 12:59Speaker 1: played a good game. They were getting some sacks, they
- 13:02Speaker 1: were getting some turnovers. You know, it's going into the
- 13:06Speaker 1: fourth quarter. It's twenty to ten, twenty to ten, and
- 13:11Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys had missed a chip shot field
- 13:15Speaker 1: goal in the second quarter. They squandered an opportunity to score.
- 13:20Speaker 1: They had another field goal as well, and and that
- 13:22Speaker 1: that got taken off the board, and then they didn't
- 13:24Speaker 1: elect to get one in the third quarter. So then
- 13:26Speaker 1: it's you know, they've got the football down twenty to ten,
- 13:30Speaker 1: and you're thinking, man, it should be twenty to sixteen
- 13:33Speaker 1: at least, or twenty to thirteen. But you know, twenty sixteen,
- 13:38Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, and it's twenty to ten, and you're playing different.
- 13:43Speaker 1: You're having to rush, you're having to force things. You
- 13:45Speaker 1: get a sack. Tyler Guidon's trying to pick it up
- 13:48Speaker 1: and roll with it. Actually he didn't pick it up.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He caught it in mid air and then he fumbles
- 13:54Speaker 1: and it's a touchdown the other way, and the Cowboys lose,
- 13:58Speaker 1: you know, more points and more ground, and it's twenty
- 14:01Speaker 1: seven to ten. And then that's pretty much the end
- 14:03Speaker 1: of it. And that's kind of the same thing that happened.
- 14:05Speaker 1: It gets Philly as where as well. All right, we're
- 14:08Speaker 1: going to break here on Cowboys storyline, our first one.
- 14:10Speaker 1: We'll be right back to answer more calls and questions.

- 16:12Speaker 1: Back here on Cowboys Storyline, where we are dissecting the
- 16:16Speaker 1: Cowboys lost to the Texans thirty four to ten doesn't
- 16:20Speaker 1: seem to be. It seemed to be closer than that,
- 16:23Speaker 1: but it but it wasn't you know, at the end
- 16:26Speaker 1: of the day, into the end of the game, into
- 16:27Speaker 1: the four quarters. It is what it is. And in
- 16:31Speaker 1: the Cowboys, that's just a it's just the situation of
- 16:35Speaker 1: a team. That's just you know, you're you're you're stride,
- 16:38Speaker 1: you're struggling, You're it's an uphill battle. You're fighting, but
- 16:43Speaker 1: you're just not good enough. You're not good enough on offense,
- 16:46Speaker 1: you're not good enough on defense, and you're not good
- 16:48Speaker 1: enough on the special teams, and and that's you lose
- 16:52Speaker 1: all of those battles. Then that's that's kind of what
- 16:55Speaker 1: happened that. Yeah, the defense played well. Houston's defense played
- 16:58Speaker 1: played better. You know, they kept them out of the zone,
- 17:00Speaker 1: they scored touchdown, They played much better the Cowboys, you know,
- 17:04Speaker 1: I mean they were I think they were fortunate with
- 17:07Speaker 1: the penalties actually kind of went their way. There were
- 17:09Speaker 1: some calls Houston was making or the rest were making
- 17:12Speaker 1: there against Houston that they kind of kept the Cowboys
- 17:15Speaker 1: in it for a while. And don't forget it could
- 17:16Speaker 1: have been seven to nothing right off the bat first
- 17:18Speaker 1: play of the game. They called it, you know, an
- 17:20Speaker 1: eligible player downfield, which I thought was questionable at that so, uh,
- 17:24Speaker 1: I thought that the penalties actually were helping the Cowboys
- 17:27Speaker 1: a little bit there. All right, let's go back to
- 17:29Speaker 1: the phone lines. We've got Sal in California. Sal, what's up? Good?
- 17:35Speaker 13: Good good.
- 17:36Speaker 14: I just want to say, like, this is the worst
- 17:39Speaker 14: the Dallas office has looked in a long time, and
- 17:41Speaker 14: just trending now. Like the season keeps going out as
- 17:44Speaker 14: it is, we'll probably have a top you know, and
- 17:48Speaker 14: five pick. Maybe would you think they would be able
- 17:53Speaker 14: to trade Dack contract and start with a younger quarterback, like,
- 17:56Speaker 14: you know, maybe get the standards boys to Dallas.
- 17:58Speaker 4: Not all this?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Thank you, ah Man trading Thanks thanks for the call.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Trading Dak this early into his contract doesn't seem likely
- 18:10Speaker 1: at all. You got to remember all the guaranteed money,
- 18:14Speaker 1: uh that that hits the cap immediately. So I haven't
- 18:19Speaker 1: looked at that, but it would be a lot. It
- 18:23Speaker 1: is not you don't do that. You don't not that
- 18:26Speaker 1: early into a into a deal. There's just too much
- 18:30Speaker 1: money that would that would come forward and hit the
- 18:33Speaker 1: cap immediately, So I don't I don't think that would
- 18:36Speaker 1: be Uh, first of all, I don't. I don't think
- 18:38Speaker 1: the cow will do that. I don't know if the
- 18:41Speaker 1: team's gonna want to do that too. I mean, think
- 18:43Speaker 1: about what you're gonna get for it, and uh, you know,
- 18:47Speaker 1: he's coming off surgery. He was there on the field
- 18:49Speaker 1: with the with the crutches and all that. So you know,
- 18:52Speaker 1: that's just not the answer right right now, that it's not.
- 18:56Speaker 1: I mean, they signed him. He's the guy. He's he's
- 19:00Speaker 1: the guy for for a while. And so yeah, I
- 19:03Speaker 1: don't I don't think that would be a situation because
- 19:04Speaker 1: I just don't see you'd have you'd have a buyer
- 19:07Speaker 1: that that would be worth it to give you enough
- 19:10Speaker 1: of the compensation for what you're gonna have to eat,
- 19:12Speaker 1: you know, financially there. So I think he's he's the
- 19:15Speaker 1: guy that get him healthy, get him back going, get
- 19:18Speaker 1: him some pieces around him, give him a running game,
- 19:21Speaker 1: offensive line better, and all that stuff. John in California
- 19:25Speaker 1: as well, John.
- 19:28Speaker 7: Good morning, Nick, pleasure to talk to you.
- 19:30Speaker 6: Yeah you too.
- 19:30Speaker 7: How are you night, beautiful day, beautiful day?
- 19:34Speaker 1: Where are you at again?
- 19:36Speaker 7: Lamarada by Disneyland A little litle suburbs out there.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Sounds good, sounds like Shane Gerlaw, I like Lamarada. All right, John,
- 19:45Speaker 1: what do you got man?
- 19:46Speaker 14: First time?
- 19:46Speaker 7: Call her first time? Or Nick? Right? That's well if
- 19:53Speaker 7: you get me an update on some of the injury
- 19:55Speaker 7: status like Kneeland. Uhland's gonna you know, play it off
- 19:59Speaker 7: this year? Uh, I think any of the younger.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Guys, I think he's gonna finally play?
- 20:06Speaker 7: Is he gonna finally play?
- 20:08Speaker 1: Is finally going to play? I really do, but I've
- 20:11Speaker 1: said that before, so, but I do think this week
- 20:15Speaker 1: go ahead?
- 20:15Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you know it's it's definitely past time. Well
- 20:19Speaker 7: in my opinion, to play all these young guys. You know,
- 20:21Speaker 7: everyone says, see what you got, you know, we know
- 20:24Speaker 7: what Cooper Rush got, you know kind of what Ferguson is.
- 20:29Speaker 7: Maybe you know, get Schoonmaker in there, find out if
- 20:33Speaker 7: it's someone you're gonna we're a hold too. Yeah, all right,
- 20:37Speaker 7: well offensively as well all the all the younger guys
- 20:40Speaker 7: that you know, I haven't seen a whole lot of
- 20:42Speaker 7: playing time that you always get those you know, progress
- 20:44Speaker 7: stopping you know, Booker, Uh, you know, we get some
- 20:49Speaker 7: of the set young safeties in there. Did this Bell Okay,
- 20:53Speaker 7: I don't know. I didn't hear what happened last night.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Yeah, he did get hurt and he he did not
- 20:59Speaker 1: return in the game. There were so many injuries. Honestly,
- 21:02Speaker 1: I can't even recall what Bell's injury was. I know
- 21:05Speaker 1: he got hurt and banged up, did not come back.
- 21:08Speaker 1: And and Bell and one Thomas are two guys that
- 21:10Speaker 1: I know that are that you could say, hey, get
- 21:13Speaker 1: some young guys in see what they can do. Ironically,
- 21:16Speaker 1: Hooker and Donovan Wilson I think played their best game
- 21:19Speaker 1: of the season. Both of them last night were around
- 21:22Speaker 1: the ball a lot, making some plays. So but but
- 21:25Speaker 1: I get I get your point. You're you're You're not
- 21:27Speaker 1: wrong there. And but a lot of these young guys
- 21:29Speaker 1: are playing because they're playing, not not because you know
- 21:33Speaker 1: they're they're trying to see for the future. It's like
- 21:35Speaker 1: they have to, you know, that's part of it.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Right.
- 21:40Speaker 7: But is Hooker on his last year on the deal?
- 21:43Speaker 5: No?
- 21:44Speaker 1: He remember he signed an he signed an extension last year.
- 21:51Speaker 1: I want to say three again, guys are getting me
- 21:56Speaker 1: on the Tuesday morning contracts here. They signed him to
- 22:00Speaker 1: an extension. I don't know, if you I don't think
- 22:02Speaker 1: he'd be out just yet. But but I can I
- 22:06Speaker 1: can research that.
- 22:08Speaker 7: How about Niland? Do we know any kind of a
- 22:10Speaker 7: progress getting close?
- 22:11Speaker 1: Getting close with him? Jerry Jerry Jones said after the
- 22:15Speaker 1: game that he expects four to five players coming back, uh,
- 22:19Speaker 1: and a lot of them on defense. That makes me
- 22:23Speaker 1: think Bland, Kneeland and Jordan Lewis probably Tank I don't
- 22:30Speaker 1: think is ready yet. And I do think Brandon Cooks
- 22:33Speaker 1: at receiver is also going to come back this week.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Those are the four guys I think you could come
- 22:37Speaker 1: back from injury this week that have been out for
- 22:39Speaker 1: a little bit. Now, you got to remember, you got
- 22:41Speaker 1: to put them back on the team. So the which
- 22:44Speaker 1: is which is fine. There's a lot of players on
- 22:46Speaker 1: this team right now that could go back to the
- 22:48Speaker 1: practice squad or cut or whatever. I don't think that's
- 22:51Speaker 1: going to be a problem getting Brandon Cooks, Neeland, and
- 22:55Speaker 1: Bland on the roster right now. So Bland, Bland, Sorry,
- 23:00Speaker 1: Bland is on the roster. Actually Bland is on the roster.
- 23:02Speaker 1: But you gotta get Kneel and the Cooks back on.
- 23:05Speaker 7: Yeah, you just got to see how they all play together,
- 23:08Speaker 7: you know, cohesion with these units and some of these
- 23:12Speaker 7: young guys, who are you know, I haven't got a
- 23:15Speaker 7: whole lot of playing time. Who I agree? I think
- 23:17Speaker 7: Donovan Wilson played his best game and Hooker played a
- 23:20Speaker 7: really nice game. But you know, are they the future?
- 23:24Speaker 7: And I don't feel like the season's lost. I think
- 23:27Speaker 7: there's still a lot of things you can get out
- 23:28Speaker 7: of it by seeing what these guys are capable of
- 23:31Speaker 7: playing with, you know, a capable defense.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think people would disagree with you
- 23:38Speaker 1: on the on the part about lost but no. But
- 23:42Speaker 1: but I think it's one of those things of you're
- 23:46Speaker 1: sitting on the side of the road, you know, are
- 23:48Speaker 1: you lost? No, I know where I am. Where you're
- 23:51Speaker 1: going nowhere right right? Not going anywhere? I know where
- 23:55Speaker 1: I am. I'm not lost. And I think what you're
- 23:58Speaker 1: saying is there are some things you can still get
- 24:00Speaker 1: from this, but the ultimate goal of what you know,
- 24:03Speaker 1: where the season was and where you're like, hey, let's
- 24:06Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, let's do this, and that that
- 24:09Speaker 1: doesn't look that doesn't look like that's happening at all.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Uh And but so now it's it's the little victories
- 24:14Speaker 1: that you're that you're trying to see. You're trying to
- 24:16Speaker 1: see Turpin as a wide receiver. You're trying to see fillinoid,
- 24:19Speaker 1: You're trying to see some things like that. Yeah, I
- 24:21Speaker 1: love the fact that Turpin when he caught that ball
- 24:24Speaker 1: from our view in the press box, that you're like,
- 24:26Speaker 1: he's he's not getting caught. You're like like, wow, you
- 24:30Speaker 1: just want you just love to see that kind of stuff.
- 24:32Speaker 1: And and did I see that correctly? You guys probably
- 24:35Speaker 1: saw it too. A fastest player in the last three years,
- 24:39Speaker 1: like clocked miles per hour was like the fastest that
- 24:42Speaker 1: we've any player in the NFL has run in the
- 24:45Speaker 1: last two or three years. Pretty impressive. But you know,
- 24:49Speaker 1: he's one of those guys. You got to get him
- 24:50Speaker 1: out there, you got to get him going. Unfortunately, it
- 24:52Speaker 1: hasn't happened a whole lot.
- 24:55Speaker 7: It's not part of the frustrating thing though with the season, like, yeah,
- 24:59Speaker 7: wanting to see turping to get like those one on
- 25:02Speaker 7: one matchups out of the slot where he has a
- 25:04Speaker 7: little bit of room and if you put the ball
- 25:06Speaker 7: on him quick, what can he do?
- 25:08Speaker 6: Sure?
- 25:08Speaker 1: You know, yeah, that is frustrating. It is frustrating, But
- 25:11Speaker 1: let's let's be honest, he doesn't. He hasn't caught every
- 25:14Speaker 1: pass thrown his way. Absolutely, he's got He's part of
- 25:17Speaker 1: that as well. He's got to catch the ball. But
- 25:20Speaker 1: but that that kind of route, that kind of play,
- 25:21Speaker 1: got to get him open, get him, get him, you know,
- 25:24Speaker 1: moving like that.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Boy.
- 25:25Speaker 1: It was it was good to see all right, John,
- 25:27Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Thank you. It was good. Good to
- 25:30Speaker 1: hear from you. Chris beam in the back like he
- 25:32Speaker 1: always does with researching for us. He's Malie Cooker is.
- 25:36Speaker 1: His contract goes through the twenty twenty sixth season, so
- 25:41Speaker 1: he's got two more years after this. Donovan Wilson's goes
- 25:45Speaker 1: one year after this, uh through twenty twenty five. All right,
- 25:49Speaker 1: let's go to Rob in Vegas.
- 25:52Speaker 6: Heynck.
- 25:53Speaker 1: What's up, Rob good Man? Haven't heard from you in
- 25:58Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 25:58Speaker 6: You all right, I'm good. You know, listen what I
- 26:02Speaker 6: want to talk about. You don't want to talk about it?
- 26:05Speaker 8: And I get it.
- 26:06Speaker 6: It's uh so you can.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Talk about it.
- 26:09Speaker 7: You can talk about that's.
- 26:11Speaker 6: That's not it's not the same. I want, you know,
- 26:15Speaker 6: I want to have a real conversation. And we're getting
- 26:21Speaker 6: we're not getting there.
- 26:22Speaker 1: We're there but well, I mean, we're getting there so
- 26:25Speaker 1: we can talk about it, is what I'm saying.
- 26:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean yesterday it was like Philadelphia, you know,
- 26:33Speaker 6: the defense hung in. I thought Micah looked like Micah.
- 26:37Speaker 6: His ankle looks back.
- 26:39Speaker 8: He looked good.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Uh, overshown looked good. Unfortunately, he's a terrible tackler.
- 26:45Speaker 12: Uh.
- 26:46Speaker 6: He just comes in too fast and he always goes
- 26:49Speaker 6: for the ankles.
- 26:50Speaker 14: Uh.
- 26:51Speaker 6: He missed a couple of sacks again, but those are
- 26:55Speaker 6: the bright spots. I mean. The guy I'm disappointed on
- 26:58Speaker 6: defense is Gigs. I thought he would be a better
- 27:01Speaker 6: tackler onder Zimmer, and he's regressed and he's just not
- 27:05Speaker 6: the same player. And I know the rumor has it
- 27:07Speaker 6: that he may be up for trade, and I could
- 27:10Speaker 6: see that, especially with Bland needing a contract, But then again,
- 27:15Speaker 6: who knows what he's going to be. It was a
- 27:18Speaker 6: shame to see Zach Martin.
- 27:20Speaker 7: It's like.
- 27:22Speaker 8: It's like he.
- 27:24Speaker 6: It came in overnight. And like I said, when you
- 27:26Speaker 6: start talking about retirement, you're kind of retired.
- 27:30Speaker 5: So to coaching.
- 27:33Speaker 6: What is with the fake punt now from your own
- 27:37Speaker 6: like twenty five throwing? I mean, who's I know, bones
- 27:43Speaker 6: is calling it. But how is Mike McCarthy allowing that
- 27:47Speaker 6: that the game just started. He didn't need to do
- 27:50Speaker 6: anything like that. You want to do it over the
- 27:53Speaker 6: fifty I could see it. I agree with you with
- 27:57Speaker 6: the play calling on that wanted to you don't roll
- 28:01Speaker 6: Cooper rush out. You just took half the field away.
- 28:06Speaker 6: We were talking on the storyline.
- 28:07Speaker 15: I think it was.
- 28:11Speaker 6: Sergeant Sue. I'm not positive, but he says, you know,
- 28:14Speaker 6: it's a shame we got we traded for two foot
- 28:17Speaker 6: round picks and either guy has done nothing. He's just
- 28:20Speaker 6: that you know, Mingo and and Trey Lance, and Trey
- 28:24Speaker 6: Lance should be playing. I don't trying to win, yes,
- 28:29Speaker 6: but Trey Lance at least gives you a different dimension.
- 28:33Speaker 6: I would like to see him play because they're both
- 28:36Speaker 6: free agents at the end of the year, so you know,
- 28:40Speaker 6: I would do it like they do in college, open
- 28:43Speaker 6: it waters, openate, gains, whatever. But it was just listen,
- 28:49Speaker 6: you said, you know, they kept showing Jerry and you
- 28:50Speaker 6: could just see his face and I think he's going
- 28:54Speaker 6: to do something. Fire somebody, just because I don't think
- 28:59Speaker 6: he could, like I said that, sell this product for
- 29:02Speaker 6: all these next week, especially Thanksgiving coming. You talk about
- 29:06Speaker 6: a bond burner Tommy Davido versus Cooper Rush. But my
- 29:12Speaker 6: thing is, I think he's going to do something. He's
- 29:14Speaker 6: going to either fire McCarthy or he's going to take
- 29:16Speaker 6: the play, but just something sort of fans, you know,
- 29:19Speaker 6: because there are fans out there that still think, you know,
- 29:22Speaker 6: we we got a chance, yeah you know, and and
- 29:26Speaker 6: we don't. Now it's time to develop flow Noy. He
- 29:29Speaker 6: kind of reminds me of Des Bryant the way he's built.
- 29:33Speaker 6: I don't know why they don't get him in the game.
- 29:35Speaker 5: He seems like a guy that.
- 29:36Speaker 1: He started started I started the game.
- 29:39Speaker 6: No, no, no, I know he started yesterday. But play
- 29:43Speaker 6: this kid. This kid, this kid looks like he has
- 29:45Speaker 6: something he's had to building. He's physical, Give it a shut.
- 29:49Speaker 6: I know what I'm going to get with Tobert. You
- 29:50Speaker 6: know he's not I don't think he's a second you know,
- 29:55Speaker 6: a second wide receiver. See he plays hard, and then
- 29:58Speaker 6: you could see at the end when Cooper Rush missed
- 30:01Speaker 6: him a few times, you could just see see you like,
- 30:03Speaker 6: okay enough. I think this is what you'll see going forward.
- 30:07Speaker 6: The team will play hard for especially defense of at
- 30:11Speaker 6: least a half and if the outfense doesn't give him
- 30:14Speaker 6: anything to hang the hat on. I think this is
- 30:17Speaker 6: what you'll see this kid, the bottom one. But yeah, okay, hey,
- 30:21Speaker 6: we got a few We've got a few more weeks
- 30:23Speaker 6: of this and then, like you said, we'll start having
- 30:26Speaker 6: really fun conversations.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Rob, thanks for calling. Good hearing from you.
- 30:32Speaker 1: As always, he's our he's our captain of the storyline.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Uh and uh if he's not the captain and our
- 30:40Speaker 1: next guy probably is is well. Dylan, Northport, Florida, Dylan,
- 30:44Speaker 1: what's up?
- 30:45Speaker 12: Hey?
- 30:45Speaker 6: How's it going good?
- 30:46Speaker 1: How are you? Man?
- 30:48Speaker 4: Good?
- 30:48Speaker 7: Always happy?
- 30:49Speaker 16: Following up Rob?
- 30:50Speaker 2: Actually, I agree with everything Rob said today, so good stuff.
- 30:54Speaker 5: We've been chatting a.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Lot on Twitter.
- 30:56Speaker 1: I agreed with everything he said, except for overshowing being
- 30:59Speaker 1: a terrible Oh yeah, yeah, a good tackler. I do
- 31:03Speaker 1: think that young players, and then again, first season of
- 31:07Speaker 1: him playing football, young players have to realize that, you know,
- 31:11Speaker 1: he's like four seasons removed from high school, so they
- 31:14Speaker 1: have to realize that just hitting a player doesn't knock
- 31:17Speaker 1: them down, doesn't you know, Like you have to wrap
- 31:20Speaker 1: up in this league and your strength isn't as strong
- 31:22Speaker 1: as you think and all that. He's pretty good as
- 31:25Speaker 1: a tackler. He still has things to learn, but I
- 31:27Speaker 1: agreed with most of the other things. Rob said. We'll see,
- 31:29Speaker 1: we'll see what you've got.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Yeah, we were messaging on Twitter last night. I'm in
- 31:33Speaker 2: a group with him and some other people, and he
- 31:35Speaker 2: mentioned that too. And you know, over shown is I
- 31:38Speaker 2: think a great tackler. I just think when he goes
- 31:40Speaker 2: and somebody's standing still, it's so easy to the sidestep
- 31:44Speaker 2: right and he comes in one thousand miles an hour.
- 31:46Speaker 2: He just needs to slow down and just secure the sack.
- 31:49Speaker 2: And that was a potential game changing sack if he
- 31:51Speaker 2: made that last night late in the game. Uh, not
- 31:54Speaker 2: that we would have done anything anyways, who knows, But yeah,
- 31:57Speaker 2: he just needs to slow down. As far as Malie
- 31:59Speaker 2: Hooker and moving on from guys that are under contract,
- 32:03Speaker 2: you know, Malie Cooker, there's out next year. It's like
- 32:05Speaker 2: a four million dollars dead cap hit if they do
- 32:07Speaker 2: move on from him. But I'll say this about moving
- 32:09Speaker 2: on from guys, you got a lot of holes to fill,
- 32:12Speaker 2: and I'd be careful moving on from guys that have
- 32:14Speaker 2: contracts already because that just means you got to draft
- 32:17Speaker 2: somebody or sign somebody else. And you know, I think
- 32:19Speaker 2: Hooker and Wilson and those guys. I don't know Wilson
- 32:22Speaker 2: will be here or not, but I think those guys
- 32:25Speaker 2: can be better. We've seen be better. But you got
- 32:27Speaker 2: to get the pass rush going, and you got to
- 32:29Speaker 2: get the run game. They're stopping their own game, you know,
- 32:31Speaker 2: going on defense, and you'll see them hopefully play better.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Same thing with Dak. I don't see him going anywhere.
- 32:37Speaker 2: I mean, you just signed the guy. He can't eat
- 32:39Speaker 2: all that money. Who's going to trade for him? He
- 32:41Speaker 2: has no trade clause anyway, so that's not going to happen.
- 32:43Speaker 2: And listen, and it's just it's been kind of delightful, man,
- 32:48Speaker 2: I'll just see this will hang up. It's been kind
- 32:50Speaker 2: of delightful just sitting here and just laughing. You know,
- 32:53Speaker 2: it's almost been a comedy show, and it's been fun
- 32:56Speaker 2: and kind of the wrong ways. But you know, we
- 32:58Speaker 2: have a lot of group laughs in our little chat
- 33:00Speaker 2: and it's it's just kind of weird that it's like, Okay,
- 33:03Speaker 2: I'm enjoying Sunday is almost more because I can just
- 33:06Speaker 2: sit back and have a beer and just not worry
- 33:08Speaker 2: yeah about anything, you know, So I get it.
- 33:11Speaker 1: It's uh, it's it's not it's not a fun place
- 33:15Speaker 1: to be, but it's it's a lot more relaxing, stress free,
- 33:19Speaker 1: I guess, because you're it just comes down to your
- 33:22Speaker 1: expectations aren't there. You know, they're not there. So now
- 33:25Speaker 1: you're rooting for other things. You're rooting. I mean, you're
- 33:28Speaker 1: always rooting for a win, but you're you know, you
- 33:30Speaker 1: see some silver linings and plays and players and things
- 33:34Speaker 1: like that, and and you know, it's it's it's not
- 33:37Speaker 1: what you want to do as a fan. But you know,
- 33:41Speaker 1: as Jerry said last night, you know, he just said,
- 33:46Speaker 1: you do this long enough, you're gonna have You're gonna
- 33:49Speaker 1: have some times like this and and and I think
- 33:52Speaker 1: I think if you heard it, it would make more
- 33:54Speaker 1: sense than as opposed to He's not he's not saying like, hey,
- 33:58Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. He's just you know,
- 34:00Speaker 1: he's he's really disappointed. I mean you could see it
- 34:03Speaker 1: on his face. He's very disappointed about everything that that's
- 34:06Speaker 1: happened in this season. But you know he's, uh, you know,
- 34:10Speaker 1: as he said, I'm a big boy. I can handle it,
- 34:12Speaker 1: but but uh, it's it's not sitting well with him,
- 34:15Speaker 1: of course.
- 34:15Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 34:16Speaker 2: And the people that kind of come after Jerry, uh
- 34:19Speaker 2: and not wanting to win. I think that's a load
- 34:21Speaker 2: of crap. I think he wants to win more than
- 34:23Speaker 2: anything in the world. And I defend Jerry probably more
- 34:25Speaker 2: than I should at times. But you can see he's
- 34:27Speaker 2: gutted about this season, man, And maybe he doesn't manage
- 34:30Speaker 2: the team the best way according to everybody's point of view,
- 34:33Speaker 2: but man, he's not enjoying this anymore any lesson we are.
- 34:36Speaker 2: It sucks for all of us.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Dylan, thanks, thanks for calling in. Let's
- 34:41Speaker 1: go to Ali in Florida. Ali. You there, Yeah, good morning,

- 35:03Speaker 1: You know what, ele I'm gonna say to that, like like,
- 35:09Speaker 1: we're fine. I'm gonna speak for Chris on this. We're fine.
- 35:12Speaker 1: We've done this for a long time. We've had seasons
- 35:16Speaker 1: worse than this, and yeah, and expectations higher than this
- 35:20Speaker 1: year's and lower than this. It happens. But you know what,
- 35:25Speaker 1: I'll speak for myself on this. I enjoy talking to
- 35:28Speaker 1: you guys because I understand what it's like to be
- 35:31Speaker 1: a fan. I appreciate the ones that call in and
- 35:34Speaker 1: are ready to talk about next year, even though we're
- 35:37Speaker 1: not there yet. I get it because you're like, it's like,
- 35:42Speaker 1: let me fix it, let's fix it. How do I
- 35:45Speaker 1: fix it? That's what happens. If something happens at the house,
- 35:47Speaker 1: You're like, what do we gotta do? Do I need
- 35:49Speaker 1: to call it? Can I fix it? Do I need
- 35:50Speaker 1: to call it? Chris to come over and help me
- 35:52Speaker 1: fix it? All this kind of stuff, But you want
- 35:53Speaker 1: to fix it, and I get it, and I understand that.
- 35:55Speaker 1: So anyways, thank you for saying that. But I think
- 35:58Speaker 1: we're fine. You know, we'll be all right, we'll turn
- 36:01Speaker 1: this around. But it is fun to still talk to
- 36:03Speaker 1: you guys.
- 36:04Speaker 13: Okay, So yeah, I've got a top five lists not
- 36:10Speaker 13: to do on the storyline. I'm making it very quick.
- 36:14Speaker 13: Number one, be nice after the last to Nick and Chris.
- 36:20Speaker 13: Number two, don't tell the fan how to be a fan.
- 36:25Speaker 13: Number three, don't ask Nick about other players or coaches
- 36:32Speaker 13: how to trade during the season. Number four, don't take
- 36:36Speaker 13: too long. And number five make sure your lawnmower is off.
- 36:45Speaker 13: No lawnmower noise behind So Nick get upset.
- 36:51Speaker 1: You know, you know what's funny about that, you're talking
- 36:53Speaker 1: about a training camp. The lawnmower noise sounds worse for
- 36:57Speaker 1: me than it does on for you guys. Uh, just
- 37:01Speaker 1: the way it is in our headset. It sounds like
- 37:03Speaker 1: he's right behind me, like he like I'm getting grass
- 37:06Speaker 1: on me, Like he's like he's, you know, weed eating
- 37:09Speaker 1: right next to me. But uh, yeah, but you know
- 37:12Speaker 1: what about that? The Cowboys were oh and oh, a
- 37:15Speaker 1: lot of hope, a lot of excitement, a lot less injuries,
- 37:19Speaker 1: a lot of guys walking around, and and then not
- 37:22Speaker 1: as many crutches. So I'll take that. I'll take the
- 37:26Speaker 1: line more and and the and the training camp excitement again.
- 37:30Speaker 9: I have one one question for you.
- 37:33Speaker 13: If you have a choice to use your Thanksgiving with
- 37:39Speaker 13: one of the storyliners, who would that be?
- 37:43Speaker 3: I know who?
- 37:44Speaker 13: I would say. I think we should invite Rob and
- 37:49Speaker 13: some of the storyline whoever likes to go. We all
- 37:52Speaker 13: go to Roundy's house.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Randy. Yeah, that would be fun.
- 37:57Speaker 13: Bet would be so much fun.
- 37:59Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Randy, because I don't have to
- 38:04Speaker 1: go too far. I can go see my mom and
- 38:06Speaker 1: then go then go see Randy. And you know, but
- 38:09Speaker 1: I haven't had Thanksgiving with my family on Thanksgiving since
- 38:14Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. So but but Thanksgiving is what it is.
- 38:19Speaker 1: We'll have it two days later. The turkey will taste
- 38:21Speaker 1: the same and it'll it'll be awesome. So I love Thanksgiving.
- 38:25Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite is my favorite holiday. I
- 38:28Speaker 1: love the fact that we get.

- 40:22Speaker 1: to the phone line, Robbie in Coco Beach, Florida. Robbie,
- 40:26Speaker 1: what's up?
- 40:27Speaker 4: I am wonderful. How about yourself?
- 40:29Speaker 1: Not wonderful, but I'm okay. I'm doing okay about a wonderful.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I don't know about wonderful. It's tires every day.
- 40:37Speaker 4: You got four kids, a great wife, the good jobs
- 40:41Speaker 4: that you love.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Also, I'm wonderful. You're right, You're right, You're right, Robbie,
- 40:47Speaker 1: I'm wonderful, doing wonderful. The team is not wonderful. The
- 40:51Speaker 1: team that we'll watching cover a little fur away from wonderful.
- 40:55Speaker 1: But all right there, Robbie always put it in perspective.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Appreciate that.
- 41:01Speaker 4: Man, what are we gonna do? I love my team.
- 41:04Speaker 4: They'll get me wrong. We always talk about not knowing
- 41:07Speaker 4: somebody had a fan. I love my team and I
- 41:08Speaker 4: live and die.
- 41:09Speaker 14: Man.
- 41:10Speaker 4: There have been many nights I've been there, cried myself
- 41:13Speaker 4: to sleep after watching the game, and some nights I
- 41:15Speaker 4: can't sleep after close. And then we came back as one.
- 41:18Speaker 1: You know, so you know it's funny, what did that man?
- 41:23Speaker 1: This team beat Pittsburgh.
- 41:26Speaker 4: I know in Pittsburgh's playing lights out, seating everybody.
- 41:30Speaker 1: That's just I mean, and I know that the Cowboys
- 41:33Speaker 1: aren't the same. Weird, it's just a weird league. You
- 41:38Speaker 1: expect it to kind of turn back around, but it
- 41:41Speaker 1: hasn't yet. Maybe it will against Washington. I mean they
- 41:44Speaker 1: practiced against this team for like four years. Uh, you know,
- 41:48Speaker 1: with Dan Quinn and the defensive guys over there. So yeah,
- 41:51Speaker 1: it's a short week, but you know they should know
- 41:53Speaker 1: what to expect. Uh, we'll see, all right.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Speaking of events, dude touched on it today about Michael
- 42:03Speaker 4: Parsons and at three four I think about a month
- 42:06Speaker 4: and a half ago or a month ago, I called
- 42:08Speaker 4: him said, is there any way we could get to
- 42:10Speaker 4: a three four next year? I remember when Parcelves came
- 42:12Speaker 4: in and had just to a three four. I was
- 42:14Speaker 4: so set against it. And then seeing guys like Marcus
- 42:18Speaker 4: ware who had that band around the head, speed around
- 42:23Speaker 4: the edge, Like, I'm not comparing Mike where yet, but
- 42:28Speaker 4: there are some similarities, and I would like to see
- 42:31Speaker 4: Michael Parsons, who's one of the best, if not the best,
- 42:35Speaker 4: the best player in the NFL, get every opportunity to Yeah, okay,
- 42:42Speaker 4: build around him, put him as a d ND or
- 42:45Speaker 4: three four outside. Yeah, so what do we need? We
- 42:51Speaker 4: need a big grease in the middle, maybe Masi and
- 42:56Speaker 4: Colsta on the outside.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, and I think Golstan's good there for
- 43:02Speaker 1: the defensive end position, even though he should be a
- 43:06Speaker 1: free agent. Actually this is his fourth year, so he'll
- 43:09Speaker 1: be an unrestricted free agent. But I think that type
- 43:12Speaker 1: of guy defensive tackle slashed in. But yeah, linebacker wise,
- 43:19Speaker 1: I mean, I don't we got.
- 43:20Speaker 4: The Maybe he can played middle linebackers, little middle linebackers
- 43:25Speaker 4: a lot different.
- 43:27Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 43:27Speaker 1: He hasn't playing at all right now, so I don't
- 43:30Speaker 1: see him in the future. But I mean it's a
- 43:35Speaker 1: it's an overhaul. I mean, you have to it's not easy.
- 43:38Speaker 1: It's not an easy transition to do that. You got
- 43:42Speaker 1: to use free agency in the draft, and you know
- 43:45Speaker 1: you need help on offense too. So I don't know
- 43:49Speaker 1: if they can do that in one year.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Say it again, which was supposed to be our strength?
- 43:55Speaker 4: Is your offense.
- 43:56Speaker 1: Supposed to be? Yeah, but your offensive line wasn't wasn't good.
- 44:00Speaker 1: I mean, your offensive line, the rookies that you played
- 44:04Speaker 1: did not take the step that you wanted you're hoping.
- 44:07Speaker 4: I can't agree with that. Nick Cooper Beby has looked
- 44:10Speaker 4: strong man. I mean him and Tyler Smith probably our
- 44:14Speaker 4: best lineman.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that's my point. You're you're You've made my point.
- 44:20Speaker 1: They are the best linemen. They're not supposed to be.
- 44:22Speaker 1: It was supposed to be Zach Martin, supposed to be
- 44:25Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, and you're hoping that Tyler Guyton made more
- 44:29Speaker 1: of a leap. And I think Cooper bebe has had
- 44:31Speaker 1: a really good season for a rookie. I don't think
- 44:34Speaker 1: he's a huge difference maker. But he's playing well. Okay,
- 44:37Speaker 1: he's playing well. Let's not give give him that. The
- 44:39Speaker 1: problem is is that he was supposed to be your
- 44:42Speaker 1: fifth best lineman and he's and he's not so and
- 44:47Speaker 1: this just wasn't the year you thought Zach Martin would
- 44:49Speaker 1: just it would just drop off like that. And you
- 44:52Speaker 1: could see when he walked off the field yesterday and
- 44:55Speaker 1: you could see how frustrated he was. It was almost
- 44:58Speaker 1: like he knew and that Yeah, and I hope that's
- 45:01Speaker 1: not the case, I hope that's not the last time
- 45:03Speaker 1: we've seen him. We see him walk off the field,
- 45:06Speaker 1: that would be that'll be here.
- 45:08Speaker 4: But all right, I'll say send out my love to
- 45:12Speaker 4: you guys, and thank you for being for everything you do.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Man, thank you, I appreciate it. Robbie always good. Let's
- 45:20Speaker 1: go to UH in New Jersey.
- 45:25Speaker 8: Nick, what's how do you do?
- 45:28Speaker 4: Good?
- 45:28Speaker 5: You?
- 45:28Speaker 1: What's up?
- 45:29Speaker 7: Oh?
- 45:30Speaker 8: No much. I was listening to UH to the guys talking.
- 45:34Speaker 8: I heard rob and I heard from Florida. Uh yeah, Dylan, Yeah,
- 45:41Speaker 8: I heard Dylan. There was something Dylan said that that
- 45:44Speaker 8: kind of hear me when he was saying that, you know,
- 45:46Speaker 8: at least now we're watching the games with all that
- 45:50Speaker 8: without the expectations, because because I still get frustrated, like
- 45:55Speaker 8: I'm still you know, what I'm saying is like I
- 45:59Speaker 8: want to see them pay well, but I'm also rooting
- 46:02Speaker 8: for that draft pick. At the point where where the
- 46:05Speaker 8: team is at, Man, we're bad, so I think we
- 46:09Speaker 8: need I want the highest pick possible so so you
- 46:12Speaker 8: can trade back and get extra picks. That's where I'm at,
- 46:17Speaker 8: and this team needs a good amount of players to
- 46:22Speaker 8: rebuild it for the next two seasons. So I'm kind
- 46:26Speaker 8: of I'm kind of at that point where, yeah, like
- 46:29Speaker 8: you know, expectations are that we're not going to do
- 46:32Speaker 8: that well, but it kind of still like, you know,
- 46:38Speaker 8: I still want to see them play well. I want
- 46:40Speaker 8: to see the young.
- 46:41Speaker 9: Guys play well.
- 46:42Speaker 8: They need to develop, and I don't think this coach
- 46:45Speaker 8: estaff is giving them that option. Where when when does
- 46:48Speaker 8: the special teams coach get to call the timeouts? They
- 46:51Speaker 8: even mentioned that in the broadcast, like why is this
- 46:54Speaker 8: guy corner the timeouts? If that's a head coach ging wrong? Yeah,
- 47:00Speaker 8: thanks for listening, appreciate it.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Yeah, he gives a lot of leeway there. For John Fossil,
- 47:11Speaker 1: he's been around a long time. He's actually been an
- 47:13Speaker 1: interim head coach once in his in his career with
- 47:16Speaker 1: the Rams, I believe. So yeah, he uh he's had
- 47:22Speaker 1: some you know, he has opportunities to to to you know,
- 47:24Speaker 1: make some of those calls, especially calls for the fakes.
- 47:27Speaker 1: I mean, he's the one kind of throwing it out there. Uh,
- 47:30Speaker 1: Mike has to sign off on it. But I think
- 47:34Speaker 1: we're done with the with the Brian Anger throwing the ball.
- 47:36Speaker 1: I mean I would I would be and if we're
- 47:38Speaker 1: gonna throw them, if we're gonna throw the ball in
- 47:41Speaker 1: fake punts, throw it to an offensive player. Uh, don't
- 47:45Speaker 1: throw it to C. J. Goodwin or one one name,
- 47:48Speaker 1: Thomas one name made the catch. But I mean throw
- 47:51Speaker 1: it to players that are like that have the ball
- 47:53Speaker 1: in their hands and they've had it in their career
- 47:56Speaker 1: and and they can maybe break a tackle, or they
- 47:58Speaker 1: can maybe can catch the ball in space and do
- 48:01Speaker 1: something with it, if you're going to do that. But
- 48:05Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought that was a that was
- 48:07Speaker 1: a desperate play. It's always a situation. When you start
- 48:11Speaker 1: doing that, you've you've lost. I mean, for the most part.
- 48:14Speaker 1: All right, last caller here is going to be Travis
- 48:16Speaker 1: and san Antonio. Travis, what's up, Nick, Chris? How's it going.
- 48:20Speaker 16: I hope you guys are doing good.
- 48:22Speaker 1: I'm good. I think Chris is good.
- 48:24Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 48:25Speaker 16: I haven't seen me, but I told myself hopefully looking forward,
- 48:28Speaker 16: he gets to look forward to you guys some you know,
- 48:30Speaker 16: Thanksgiving and whatnot coming up and some more time. I
- 48:32Speaker 16: know he's been busy for that too, but hopefully he
- 48:34Speaker 16: gets a little bit of break here and there. Cut
- 48:36Speaker 16: my guy some slack.
- 48:37Speaker 1: Nick, he's great. I mean, I love Chris. I haven't
- 48:40Speaker 1: talked to him today, but I think he's doing he's
- 48:42Speaker 1: doing good back there. But yeah, this is two of
- 48:45Speaker 1: two of seven or so for him on the shows.
- 48:48Speaker 16: So yeah, so I know it's at the end of
- 48:51Speaker 16: the show. I just wanted to touch on something because
- 48:53Speaker 16: I've been I've been championing it for like four or
- 48:56Speaker 16: five weeks now in our in our in our chats
- 48:58Speaker 16: with storyline, and I think I heard the call with
- 49:03Speaker 16: Robbie about the three four, and I think it's actually
- 49:06Speaker 16: this is actually an easier you know, because to your point, Nick,
- 49:09Speaker 16: it can be difficult in other years when you have
- 49:12Speaker 16: guys that already locked in the contracts and stuff. But
- 49:14Speaker 16: I think it's actually an easier transition this time because
- 49:18Speaker 16: without Osa being signed, if you go to a three four,
- 49:20Speaker 16: he's not really a fit and you can let him walk, right,
- 49:22Speaker 16: you can get a compact for him. He didn't get
- 49:24Speaker 16: signed by somebody else, and you know, all the best
- 49:26Speaker 16: to him. The law is probably his last year. He
- 49:29Speaker 16: doesn't fit in a three to four. Yes, you're gonna
- 49:31Speaker 16: have to end the free agency. To your point, you're
- 49:33Speaker 16: gonna have to go find some five texts, But honestly,
- 49:35Speaker 16: it kind of fits the Cowboys strategy Nick because those
- 49:37Speaker 16: five texts and free agency. Adam Gotsis for just a
- 49:41Speaker 16: name to throw out there, played in it with DeMarcus
- 49:43Speaker 16: Ware in Denver is a free agent now like there
- 49:45Speaker 16: are guys in free agency at five texts that aren't
- 49:48Speaker 16: going to command big money you can plug in. And
- 49:50Speaker 16: then also in the draft, it kind of fits their
- 49:52Speaker 16: draft strategy too if you think about it, because they
- 49:54Speaker 16: can take some five texts later in the draft because
- 49:56Speaker 16: those aren't going to be high pick guys. And then
- 49:59Speaker 16: I guess that I think the best thing for if
- 50:01Speaker 16: you're going to spend that kind of capital, which I'm
- 50:03Speaker 16: not on trade Micah. I'm not on that either. I
- 50:05Speaker 16: think you need to keep him and maximize him. But
- 50:08Speaker 16: if you're going to maximize him, you need to get
- 50:10Speaker 16: him away from the offensive tackles and taking that pounding
- 50:13Speaker 16: all day. If you can get him in a stand
- 50:15Speaker 16: up in a three four, I think you maximize what
- 50:17Speaker 16: he can do.
- 50:17Speaker 6: And then.
- 50:19Speaker 16: I think it's the end for Clark just because his
- 50:22Speaker 16: neck injury. He's never been the Saint since LSU. I
- 50:24Speaker 16: think you can draft a guy to plug in there
- 50:26Speaker 16: or find another guy to play next to Maris next year,
- 50:28Speaker 16: because I think he's going to be your green dot.
- 50:30Speaker 16: And then the lap bit of this and I'll let
- 50:33Speaker 16: you go, is I really want to see Overshoe and
- 50:36Speaker 16: opposite Parsons in that three to four because I think
- 50:39Speaker 16: he can. I think his ability to flatten, flatten the
- 50:41Speaker 16: edge and close is the only person I've seen that
- 50:44Speaker 16: rivals Parsons, and I think those two on the edges
- 50:47Speaker 16: like that hunting quarterbacks would be a pre dynamic on defense.
- 50:50Speaker 16: So I just want to see what you thought on that.
- 50:52Speaker 16: I hope you guys have a great holiday week and
- 50:55Speaker 16: enjoy it and all the best of you guys.
- 50:58Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thanks of the call, uh Travis. And it's funny.
- 51:02Speaker 1: I I don't know if you can see my paper,
- 51:05Speaker 1: I probably won't, won't have you zoom in, but I have.
- 51:08Speaker 1: I don't know why I wrote this. I have Parsons,
- 51:10Speaker 1: then I put three like spaces, and then I have
- 51:14Speaker 1: overshown and Sam Williams over to the right over here
- 51:18Speaker 1: as pass rushures. So I have three spaces though for
- 51:20Speaker 1: your like you said, your five techniques, your defensive ends
- 51:23Speaker 1: and then your nose tackle I don't know who those
- 51:25Speaker 1: guys are gonna be, but I have Parsons over here
- 51:28Speaker 1: over shown in Sam Williams over here, and and yeah,
- 51:34Speaker 1: you got space, you got you know, room to grow there. Uh,
- 51:37Speaker 1: and you got to have a coach that can do it. Again.
- 51:40Speaker 1: We're down the road a little bit there, but but uh,
- 51:42Speaker 1: those are some of the things I think I agree
- 51:44Speaker 1: with you. You're gonna keep Micah. You got to make
- 51:46Speaker 1: sure you can put them in the best spot. All right, guys,
- 51:48Speaker 1: going a little over time here today. Appreciate the callers.
- 51:51Speaker 1: You guys did a great job coming through here.
- 51:53Speaker 14: Uh.
- 51:53Speaker 1: We will be back tomorrow to talk about it again
- 51:56Speaker 1: on Cowboys Storyline. For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Even. We'll
- 51:58Speaker 1: see you next time on Cowboy Storyline.
