  Speaker 2: What is up in this time for Cowboys storyline? I
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: am Nick Eatman here and on Friday, October the sixth,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: it's that week Cowboys forty nine ers just a couple
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: of days away. We will leave tomorrow to go up
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: to San Francisco or Santa Clara where I think that's
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: where the game is. San Jose where we stay, don't
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I don't really know. That's one of those places where
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like surprised me. You don't ever really
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: know where we're gonna stay. It doesn't really matter. You know
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: where the game is gonna be, and that's all that
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: matters to you, guys, is what happens Sunday night. It's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: gonna be. It's gonna be a fun one.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking back and forth, I'll be honest, knowing
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: that Friday is the day where we have to make picks.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I've been I've been kind of back and forth all
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: week and really leaning towards San Francisco. I think I'm
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: gonna flip. I think I'm gonna. I'm gonna I'm that
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: high school senior that that that changes his commitment. It
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: takes a different hat. I think I'm going with that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, look look at me. I'm going with
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Cowboys today. As I watched highlights here on NFL Network
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of the Bears in Washington, it helped me with my
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: pick today. Honestly, emotions matter. You cannot tell me. You
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: cannot tell me. And I tweeted this so at least
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I have what the young guys say, well, the young
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: kids say, receipts. I I tweeted this out. I was like,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you're not losing two losses in one day. It's not happening.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna lose a legendary Dick Budkus who passed
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: away at the age of eighty. You're not losing the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you know him, that's the Chicago Bear, through and through
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and then going. And you're gonna lose fifteen straight games.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: You're gonna lose to watch thirty night and not gonna happen.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Look at them forty to twenty dominated that game. Uh
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: do those guys know who? Dick Bucket says, Oh, maybe, maybe,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: maybe not, but they definitely played inspired for one reason
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: or another. And I just feel like emotions do matter.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It matters. You have to be controlled about it. You
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: can't be, you know, reckless. But I do think that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: that the Cowboys, you can just kind of see it
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: on their faces, you can see it in practice. This
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: game means something to them. They know what's happened in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Now. Not to say that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: San Francisco is just going through the motions up there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it's a big deal for them as well.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: But but yeah, I think I think it's going to
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: be a heck of a game. Can't wait to watch it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So and I know you guys feel the same way.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna get to the calls right here. Eight
• 2:46

• 2:49
  Speaker 2: is the number to call in. You can text on

  Speaker 4: I'm look, I'm like, oh, this is like, you know, Sarah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: this is like forty nine ers Cowboys game. You know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: big game going coming on. These guys usually end up

  Speaker 4: meeting and in sectionals and everything else.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my boy, he's he's going to be doing reporting

  Speaker 4: and he's going to be doing color today for the game.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome, man, can congrats on that? And you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: know what, I'll say something after the call. I bet
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you have another question as well about that. You have
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: another Cowboy question or prediction or comment?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, what I have, Well, me and my boys
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: will be actually up in Buffalo to catch the Cowboys
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: game this year, first game I've ever seen for anybody. Nice,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: And I do have a question, okay, and I have
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: a prediction. All right, all right, My question is if
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: you could take one player from any Cowboy team and
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: put them in for just this game, who would it be?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, who would it be? For you? Who's your guy?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Deon Sanders. I moved Bland back over to cover the
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: slot because I think if you had Dion in there
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: as your corner and put Plant in there as your
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: slot cover, they'd be really hard press to make good passes.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: That's true. It's hard to beat, Okay, okay, And.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: My prediction is I got the Cowboys winning twenty seven
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: to twenty four.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, well thanks for the call, Peter,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: appreciate that. Good luck to your son today with the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: color commentary, that's awesome, and also writing the stories of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the game, that's that's great. And you know my take
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: on high school football, I love it. I mean I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: absolutely love it. And when you say it's like a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: rivalry game, it's kind of like Cowboys forty nine ers.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I believe that, Like, yeah, for everyone else that's listening, uh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you know, no, it's it's not it's you know, Cowboys
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers is on a different level than than anything.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: But I do believe that when you're in the moment,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you know, then your your it's your high school team,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it's your game. Uh, it is the biggest thing going on.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: That's what makes high school football so great. Most of
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: these kids aren't playing in college and the ones you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and then the ones that do aren't going to play
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. Thanks for the call, Peter, thank you
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: appreciate that. Thank you. But but no, I I just
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: think that it's it's one of those situations where high
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: school football it just it's so it's so pure, it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: so great. I love everything about it. And I know
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: for those kids and all over the world Friday night,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: all over you know, the whole country that it is
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the biggest game going on. That's what makes it so awesome.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'll be at a game myself tonight. Deion Sanders. That's
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that's after losing Trayvon Diggs. I mean, if you could
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: pick any player, the question was, if you could pick
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: any player from any era to play in this game,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: who would it be? Sure? I mean, that's that's the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: one spot where you you did suffer an injury. I
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: think the offensive line is gonna be pretty good. Jason
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Witten wouldn't wouldn't mind having a tight end that I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: know is gonna help Lock. I know he's going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: be a reliable, you know, red zone type guy. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: could take that. You know, Arian barber Man having a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be physical. It's gonna be a physical game.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But but yeah, I mean that you can't go wrong there.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: But Dion, I mean when you once say Dion, I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: mean it's hard. It's hard to beat that one. All right,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Gary in New Mexico is our next caller, Gary, what's up?
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: Nick?
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: You doing?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I'm great? How are you?
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: I'm good.
• 6:42
  Speaker 10: If I could pick any player in Cowboys history to
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: play in this game.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: It would be Roger Starback.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, not even close.
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: Roger never lost to the forty nine ers. And I've
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: got a trivia question for you. Uh oh, okay, who
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: caught Roger Staback's last touchdown on pass?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Hm last touchdown pass? Like? Is this regular season? Or
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is this playoff? Is this just ever?
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: This is playoffs?
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: This is okay?
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: I guess in nineteen seventy nine is last.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Game against the Who against the who?
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: Who would have been against the divisional playoff game?
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: Boys lost.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost the game. So I know. I know
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Tony Hill caught the pass in the in the Redskins
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: game to win that win to get to I guess,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to get to the playoffs or get to the divisional role.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: But in that Rams game, I'm gonna I'm gonna just guess.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I really don't know. I'm gonna guess Preston Pearson. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: have no idea. That's just a guess.
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: That is a great guess to bring up Preston Pearson.
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: But it was Jay Salty, Jay Salty, Okay, caught Rogers
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: last testdown?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, good, good, that's a good question.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, thanks, very quick comment.
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: I've got a good feeling about this Cowboys game coming.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Up, all right.
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: I think they're downright better than the forty nine. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: I think they're not only going to win this game
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: Sunday night. I think they're going to send a message.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: I think they're going to go out there. I think
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: it'll be tough, but I think Dallas in the end
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: is going to win this game convincingly.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I can I say I could see that. I mean,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I see any scenario, you know. I mean, but I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: if you're right about the first part, you'll be right
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: about the second. I mean, if they are good, if
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: they are really a better football team, then I think
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I think you're right about that. They'll go and do that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: Here's my one more comment on that. And I love
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: Dak Prescott.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: I root for him hard.
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: But Dak he needs to be the reason we win,
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: not just the reason we don't lose.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Does that make sense?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, it's a It makes perfect sense. It makes
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: perfect sense. Now again, you know how I hope you
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: know you know how I feel about this. You know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: playing to win, playing not to lose. It's the same thing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: But what you're saying is is is instead of going
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: out there and not making mistakes, don't turn the ball over,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: don't lose the game, and all that be the guy
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that goes and throws the touchdown passes being the guy
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that runs and makes all the plays. Yeah, I get that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I mean I'm fine with it either way, you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: but but I do think that the Cowboys are at
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: their best when Dak is playing that way. All right,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: thanks for the call, Gary. Well let's go to a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: third caller. Let's go to Raquel in the Bay Area.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: Thank you?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: What's up? Man?
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 9:31
  Speaker 11: How you doing?
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: This is Roquel from the Bay Area?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: I am good?
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: I'm good.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You going to the game?
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: No, I'm not going to the game. I had a
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: bad experience, but I went to the last game, that
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: divisional game.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, what's on your mind.
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: Let's see, I am a fourth generation Cowboys fan and
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: my parents are from San Angelo, Texas.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the roots.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: Come from there and I have If I could pick
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: one player to play in this game, it would be
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: Troy Aikman, all right, because he just he just rose
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: to the occasion against the forty whiners, that's what I
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: call them.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: And my question to you is who's going to make
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: the first turnover? What team is going to get the
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: first turnover? Is it going to be either a fumble
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: or an interception?
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: Thank you?
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: All right, have a good day.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Thanks for cal Thanks for the call. Well, you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: that's a that's not just a fun question where you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: just like, oh, you know, who's going to do the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: first you know, touchdown or whatever. I mean, this right
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: here might set up the entire game. You know, who
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: has the first turnover, who makes the first mistake. That's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: kind of what happens in a game like this. You know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I always feel like when you're talking about it, you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of boxing analogies that come into play
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: when you're when you're talking about you know, big games
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: like this heavyweight you know, matchup like this. Uh, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: it's also you know, who strikes first, who can who
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: gets that first punch in, because that sometimes can change
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the whole the whole thing, the whole fight. And also
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you know, and who makes the first mistake, who lets
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: their guard down? So I think the turnover that that's
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: gonna be big. You know, the forty nine ers don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: turn the ball over much. I think they have one
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: turnover so and the Cowboys aren't turning the ball over
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: a lot either, so that it's gonna go that's gonna
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: be a big deal. I don't know about making the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: prediction there, but I'll just say this, whoever does turn
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the ball over first will lose. That's that's what I
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: will say. I like, I like where these callers are thinking,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you know, great, great shout out to Peter from Syracuse
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: on the first call because he's he's he threw out
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a question about which player would you you know, it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: a fun question, which player would you want to have?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And the next two callers have chimed in as well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and so that that's always fun. And Troy Aikman and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Roger Straudback they want these steady, steady guys to be
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: in there running the show. I like, I like the Dion,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I like I like you know, Jason Witten. I like
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a bruising running back. If you had that, so you
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: can't go wrong here. All right, let's go to the
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: phone lines for Brian in Kansas City. Brian, what's up?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning? How are you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: I'm doing great? Man, I love that question too, So
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: go for it. This is this is no knock on
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Terrence Steele. But if I could have anybody for this
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: game against that defense and in San Francis.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I know what you're gonna say, Eric Williams, he is
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: gonna come.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: With the biggest attitude you can imagine.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you need you need you need a guy like this,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: You need a hammer, you need somebody that's this says,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: let's this fight, let's let's let's let's fight. Eric Williams
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: could do it. I love it. That is an outstanding
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: That's an outstanding pick. I mean again, all these picks
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: are going to be great. But I love what you're thinking.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I love I love the mindset of thinking that way.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 13:10
  Speaker 12: Man.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Hey, So my old timer, you know this guy was
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: never a superstar. I just thought he had We've had
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: great names on the Cowboys Prime Time in Hollywood. Henderson,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: I love this guy's name when I was a kid,
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Golden Richards.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Golden Richards. Yep, yep, there's no doubt. Golden Richards.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, go ahead, man, God, do you have a
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Golden Richard story.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I don't have a Golden Richard's story. But I'll say
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: this though, when I because he was he played before I,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you know, really was following the team. But when I did.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: When I was following back in the early eighties, they
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: almost they wanted to have a recreation of Golden Richards.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And there's a guy named named Doug Donnelly, number eighty three.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: He had long blonde hair, he was a wide receiver.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I think that's what Golden Richard's number was, was eighty three.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: So it was almost like he was going to be
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the next gold In Richards. It didn't really turn out
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that way, but I know that there was a there
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: was like this, you know, infatuation with him in the
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: fan base, like he's going to be the next goal
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: In Richards because they looks the same. But didn't always
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: work out.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: So absolutely, yeah, you know, it's just sometimes you see that, right,
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: you see teams try to recreate their previous magic. You know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: at least this was, this is what we had, and
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: we just put these pieces back together. Somehow it's going
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: to work out. But so I'll give you my prediction
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: for the game and let the next person on man. Right,
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: So we're going to speak it into existence. Brother, this
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: is going to be the statement game, and it's Cowboys
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: twenty forty nine Ers fall short with eighteen.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Had a good day eighteen, Thank you, Brian. Twenty to eighteen.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: That's going to be. That'd be a weird game, you know,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: but that's that's how it is now. Nowadays, team's going
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: for two all the time and you have weird scores
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit, or just maybe maybe the forty nine
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: ers have trouble in the red zone and have to
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: kick six field goals. Seen that happen too? All right?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Jamal and DeSoto, Texas first time caller. Jamal, what's up? Man? Hey?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: Nick?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: Man?
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well? Man? Excited about Sunday night?
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, definitely you Uh, what's your what's your? They
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: don't have to give me a prediction if you don't want, boy,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Oh Man, I give you prediction at the end. But
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: that's a few things. First one, if I could pick
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: any player to have for this game, man, give me
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: the playmaker. Red zone issues wouldn't be a problem pairing
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: him up with CD oh Man in any history, he's
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: always had great games against the forty nine ers.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: That's true. That is definitely true about that.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: The second thing I want to say is I feel
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: good about this game because, for one, I feel good
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: that we're going to have our old line in tact.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Last year, a lot of people don't remember that we
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: didn't have Terrence Steel. I think that was a mighty
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: blow to us as far as how we played last year.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: So having an offensive lineback, and I also feel good
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: even with the injury to Diggs, I feel a lot
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: better about my cornerback room this year as well. The
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: final question, kind of you know, deals with the secondary
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: as far as the future, with the contracts for a
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: hooker and and and donno, and then also the great
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: and surprising play of Marquise Bell and excuse me one year, Thomas,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: do you see jay Ryn Kurse being the odd man
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: out next next year? Yeah? For next year, yes, sir,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: all right, you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Know, I think I appreciate the call Jamal. You know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: he's he's on an unrestriction free agent, so his contract
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: is up. That that could be the case. Let's see
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: how the season, you know, kind of plays out. It's
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: it's tough to do that just because you know, unfortunately,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: injuries happened, injuries happened later in the season, I mean,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and the narrative of changes, you know all together. I mean,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: go back and just look at at week five of
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: last year. You know, if the cow in forty nine ers,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: you know it was, it was Jimmy Garoppolo and Cooper
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Rush for the starting quarterbacks. I don't even know if
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey was on the team. Now Here we are
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: week five of this year, and and you know it's
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a completely different story. So but my point is is,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: by the end of the long year, you never know.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, if jay Ron Curse plays, you know, let's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: say he shuts down Kittle, shuts down some other tight ends,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: makes some big plays, you know that that might change
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. So it's hard, it's hard to say.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: But right now, yeah, when you're just looking at it
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and you say, all right, well, he's he's unrestricted. They
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: can't pay everyone. They've already paid, you know, Donovan Wilson,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: They've already paid Malie Cooker. Like you said, they got
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the other two young guys. You would think that he
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: would be the odd man out on that scenario. But
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: it's a long season. Let's see what happens. Because I
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: could tell you this, if he's a guy that that
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: that you have to have on this football team. Jerry
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: has proven over the years he'll make it happen and
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: figure out that you know how to get him keep
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: him on the team. All right, Hector in El Paso, Texas,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: your next and your first time caller, Hector, what's up?
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: Is their first time caller? Been following a few shows
• 18:08
  Speaker 13: over the years.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that one of them, Man, thank you man, thank
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you for calling.
• 18:13
  Speaker 13: Actually, that first caller that called in, you know who
• 18:16
  Speaker 13: I'd like to put in there, just with the physicality
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: that he used to have. Roy Williams. Man, imagine having
• 18:22
  Speaker 13: him see law Michael Parsons in there, Heim covering that
• 18:26
  Speaker 13: back man. That'd be something to see.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, early Roy Williams, Early Roy Williams when he
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't wasn't worried about any kind of penalties and rules
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: that they created for him. Just go out there and play.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Uh now he said it. Roy has said it. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I We did documentary on him, and he said he'd
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: be playing for free if he was in if he
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: was in the league right now, because he said he
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: would be fined all the time, and he's not going
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: to change. He said, I'm not going to change the
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: way I play, So I'd be playing for free. I'd
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: be fine.
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: Oh No, He's a very he was a very physical player,
• 18:57
  Speaker 13: and that's what I was going to say, you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: before before all those rules. You know, he'd be amazing
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: to see in there with with this defense we have
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: going on right now.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Definitely, one of the.
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: Questions I have, I've had for a while. I've had
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: it even last year. You know, the thing that worries
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: me about Dak, and I'm a big Dak fan, but
• 19:17
  Speaker 13: the thing that worries me about him is is he
• 19:20
  Speaker 13: just tries to force a lot of things sometimes where
• 19:24
  Speaker 13: you know, just just take the checkdown a lot of
• 19:25
  Speaker 13: the times. And I think that was one of the
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: biggest mistakes he had last year against the forty nine ers,
• 19:31
  Speaker 13: was that he was trying to force things and it
• 19:35
  Speaker 13: just you know, just go for the easy passes, go
• 19:37
  Speaker 13: for the available player. And if I think if we
• 19:41
  Speaker 13: do that this year, you know, if instead of him
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: trying and I know he's dialed back on it this
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: year because I don't see as much, you know, him
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: trying to force the ball deep that much anymore. Of course,
• 19:52
  Speaker 13: that goes into what McCarthy's trying to do this year.
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: But if he I don't know, I guess maybe the
• 19:59
  Speaker 13: game just happens too fast to where he doesn't see
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: that that quick, you know, dump off that he has available.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let me let me ask you this, though, Hector.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Are you are you Are you one that has the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: problem with the red zone issues.
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: I'm not because I've been seeing all these drops happening
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: and okay, I don't. I'm not too worried about the red.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: And that's fine, that's fine. I I I appre you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: thanks for the thanks for the call, Hector. I appreciate that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And the reason why I asked you that is just
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: because you can't can't always have it both ways. If
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you say dak Is, he's he's forcing it, you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: he's too much, He's doing the checkdowns. He's playing a
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: little you know it's safe. You know, like because I
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: you said that, you know, you think he's forcing it
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: too much. You want him to take more checkdowns. But
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: at the same time, I think he's doing that. And
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: that's why the red zone issues kind of are what
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: they are. That you're not forcing it so much in there,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: so you can't always have it both ways. And I
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: hear that sometimes. I hear fans that say, man, if
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: we can just get you know, dak to play safe,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: but we got to score in the red zone. They
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: kind of go hand in hand a little bit. So,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: but thanks for the call, Thanks for for getting in.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I love I love seeing these first time callers that
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that's great. All right. Josh in North Carolina, Josh, you're next.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: How are we doing, sir?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I'm great.
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: How are you doing?
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: First time caller?
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Love your articles.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm really excited. I'm actually a teacher in
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: North Carolina in my classroom now, so my kids are listening.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: To uh to us talk.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: What's my question?
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: Hey, hey guys, you hello, this this.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Is awesome, awesome, Hey, this is what this is what
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: a Friday should be. Okay, this would be Friday, would
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: be fun Friday. Let's let's call in the show. Let's
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: talk about the Cowboys. Love it, love it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: That's it, that's it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: So uh, I guess my question is two parts. The
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: first part is I saw how well the Rams kind
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: of slowed down the the centransis for forty nine ers offense.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: So what do they do forarticular on that side of
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: the ball to slow down Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffery
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: and kind of hold them back a little bit. I
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: know they still scored thirty points, but they kind of
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: I think they I guess they just match up well
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: with them, they know them really well. I guess my
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: question is how does the Cowboys do that kind of
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: same aspect? And the second part is on the flip side,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: with Alice offense coming in there, which player, in your
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: opinion has to get going to really put us over
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: the edge against the forty niners powerful defense. In my opinion,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: I think it's got to be Brandon Cooks. You've got
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: to get him out on, get him spaced out, get
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: him some mismatches against that secondary. I'll hang up and
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I'll listen to your thoughts. Thank you.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Sir, all right, thank you so much. That's the first.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Yesterday we had a call from South Korea. That was
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the first. Today, I can't I don't know if we've
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: ever had one. We're in front of a whole class.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: That's I didn't have teachers like that, man. I mean,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: of course, you know, the internet really wasn't around when
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I was in school like that. But man, that's that's
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: cool right there. So thank you Josh for the call.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: It's probably mister something. You know, they don't call the kids,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: probably don't call you Josh in there. But thank you
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: for the call, and and good luck to the rest
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: of the day in your class. Good questions. How do
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: they slow down? You know Rock Purty and McCaffrey, and
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's the offense that does that. I think
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: the offense is what slows down the defense. The defense
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: is going to do what they do. You know, they
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: have to tackle, they have to make sure and and
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: and don't let these guys get extra yards. Uh, they
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: got to tackle in space. But I think the offense,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: if the offense can move the ball, control the ball,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: move the sticks, keep score points, put pressure on them,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: but keep them off the field. I think that's the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: number one way that the offense can kind of help
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: slow down the forty nine ers offense by you know,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: being in control of the game. I like what you said.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Which offensive player. I think Brandon Cooks. He needs to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: have a big game. It needs to kind of show
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: that element. I kind of like Jake Ferguson in this one.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I need a tie in that. It's gonna be tough.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough sledding. You're gonna have to extend,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: you know, the drives. I think Ferguson is the type
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: of guy that can do that. He needs to have
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: a really big game. So that's that would be my pick.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: But good, good questions right there? All right, Travis and
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: san Antonio. I know this isn't first time calling for you,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Travis san Antonio, what's up?
• 24:31
  Speaker 14: It is not a first time, But Happy Friday to you, Nick.
• 24:33
  Speaker 14: And I was prepared for those questions, I asked the
• 24:38
  Speaker 14: other day. So if what he's back next week, I
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: will have a I gotta think of a good question
• 24:42
  Speaker 14: for him.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'll do that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 14: But I have my score prediction. I've got this twenty
• 24:49
  Speaker 14: three to twenty and it's a Brandon Aubrey game winning
• 24:53
  Speaker 14: field goal from forty to forty five yards. I do
• 24:56
  Speaker 14: you think Turpin will make a big return? Maybe not
• 24:59
  Speaker 14: a touchdown, but I think he'll put us in positions
• 25:01
  Speaker 14: for for a score. So I got that, and then
• 25:05
  Speaker 14: I wanted to see what you thought. I mean, I
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: know every Cowboys fan and I'm sure you guys in
• 25:12
  Speaker 14: the building. When I saw the news yesterday that that
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: Tyrone was practicing, I just was like, all right, just
• 25:18
  Speaker 14: shut everybody down. Let's let's get to the game. Let's
• 25:20
  Speaker 14: have all five of them, because I think that's a
• 25:23
  Speaker 14: that's a huge, huge thing. They can't be overlooked. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 14: I just hope you win. Yeah, have a great weekend.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Thanks Travis, appreciate that. And you know that that creates
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of depth on your offensive line when you
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: know they haven't had that, They haven't had that the
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: offensive line to these they haven't had these these starting five,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: uh since training camp. You know, from left to right,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Tyron Smith, Tyler Smith, Tyler Battish, Zach Martin, Terrence Steele.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: That that would be your your starting five if it
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: all holds up until on a Sunday night, which means
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: to Manydoga is a game day backup at tackle could
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: also play guard, so that's that's good too, to have
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the depth. There have some guys that are veterans that
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: can play, so you know, really having having more than
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: five linemen uh for available for this game, that that's
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: that's big. So all right, let's take a break here
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: on Cowboy storyline. Coming right back. We got another caller
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: on the line. We got another phone line open. We'll
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: get some text questions if if they roll in as well.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Be right back on the storyline.
• 26:25
  Speaker 15: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
• 26:27
  Speaker 15: Cheatah Savannah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 16: Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable,
• 26:31
  Speaker 16: and now Todd is trying to be faster than this
• 26:33
  Speaker 16: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: But the good news is Todd has AT and T
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: five G.
• 26:38
  Speaker 15: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the
• 26:41
  Speaker 15: best thing to do is stop running and toss her
• 26:43
  Speaker 15: the backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,
• 26:48
  Speaker 15: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatable plan and device
• 26:51
  Speaker 15: five G may not be available in your area. See

  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phone lines here on Cowboys storyline.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Could get right back to it. A few more minutes
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: to go here on Friday. We'll make some picks here.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: You guys are already throwing a lot of picks in.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I don't see any forty nine er picks. I see
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Cowboy picks, but I see some close games, which I
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: think that's what it's been the last couple of years.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine it not being but who knows, who
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: knows how these this weird NFL season plays out? All right,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: g and New Jersey your next, gee? What's up? Well?
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: Nick, I ain't got a classroom behind me and I'm
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: only in Jersey, so I'm gonna, you know, dim it
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: down the expectations here. That's all right, Good listen, man.
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: I think this is a great, great matchup for the
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: Cowboys either way. Why because if you win, you know
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: that the team is good enough to be at the
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: top of the NFC, and if you lose, it gives
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: this front office the opportunity to see what it is
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: that the team is lacking right now, right after Week five,
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: so that it can give them a push to perhaps
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: go out and make that move that we're dreaming of,
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: right to make this team better down the stretch, because
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: we'll know how far off we are. But I have
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: a question for you, Nick. I've had the opportunity to
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: go to some games that had all the hype in
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: the regular season. I was at the two thousand Tobacco
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: and Philadelphia win to take off right, And I was
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: also at the ten year anniversary of September eleventh, a
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: met Life, and those games had a lot of hype
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: and juice. But my question for you is, man, what
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: game was it for Nick Eaton right? What like what
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: regular season games had the hype for you? Man Fordiction
• 30:20
  Speaker 11: twenty seven, twenty four Let's go Cowboys.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you? Nick all Right? Man put me on the
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: spot there as far as just just the hype of
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: the game. You know, the one that I can think
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: of that that was hyped really really big, didn't work
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: out well for the team, but was in two thousand
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and seven against the Patriots. I mean, that's the one
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: that I remember because they were undefeated. I think the
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Cowboys were undefeated. I know they were undefeated when all
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the way the Super Bowl and defeated, but the Cowboys
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: were undefeated too. They just had come back from that
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: great win in Buffalo, and there was a lot of
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: hype on that one. And that's one that I remember of.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: You know, if you when you play sixty minutes, like
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: you keep playing the entire game and you see just
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: how good, you know, like the Patriots were, because the
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Cowboys were in it. It was close. I think they
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: had a defensive touchdown that to make it, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: a really close game in the third quarter. But they didn't.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: They didn't keep it and keep scoring. The Patriots did,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: and before you know, it was a blowout, you know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: or at least that's what it looked, you know, on
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the scoreboard. So that's one that I can remember. There's
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: been others, you know, there there's been other games where
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: you know, they were they were like that, you know,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: just a lot of just anticipation. But that's the one
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: that comes kind of that. It was kind of like
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: this where it's early season and you kind of feel like,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe this will be something you know, for
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a preview or something for for down the road. But yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: that was a that was that was definitely a game
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: to remember, you know. Seven's that that that special year
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: where I think that they were really good. You know,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys were really really good football team. Probably the
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: best team that I've ever covered since I've been here
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: in the last twenty five seasons. I think that one
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: was was really good, you know, but they they had
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: an injury. I think Terrell Owens' injury later in the
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: season in Carolina. I think that changed the entire season.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: He was not the same player. He tried to come back,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: give him credit for that, tried to come back. He
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't the same against the Giants in that game. And
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and the Giants were what you know, they were playing
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: at a very very high level obviously and won the
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. All right, let's go to the line in
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: San Antonio. We got Manny and San Antonio. Manny, what's up?
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 32:42
  Speaker 19: What's up?
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: Man?
• 32:43
  Speaker 20: First time caller?
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 32:44
  Speaker 20: Thanks for having me?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you?
• 32:46
  Speaker 20: Yeah, So, if I could have one player back that
• 32:50
  Speaker 20: I think that could help us out with be primetime
• 32:52
  Speaker 20: because I know with Trayvon going down, another shutdown corner
• 32:55
  Speaker 20: would really help us. But you know what, man, people
• 32:57
  Speaker 20: sleeping on Bland see no pushover, you know, chump. Look
• 33:01
  Speaker 20: at his numbers.
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: I think he's doing all right now.
• 33:03
  Speaker 20: As far as San Francisco, As much as I hate
• 33:06
  Speaker 20: to say this, man, they are a good team. I
• 33:08
  Speaker 20: ain't gonna repeat that again.
• 33:10
  Speaker 16: But guess what we are too.
• 33:12
  Speaker 20: You know that that offensive line is tough, but guess
• 33:15
  Speaker 20: what so is our defensive line.
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 33:17
  Speaker 20: So my question would be, other than establishing the run game,
• 33:21
  Speaker 20: what other key components do we need to have to
• 33:25
  Speaker 20: come out successful? Because I mean, look, people talk about
• 33:27
  Speaker 20: brock perty Yeah he's doing great, but guess what, Rock
• 33:30
  Speaker 20: and Decker, neck and neck. I think it's going to
• 33:32
  Speaker 20: be a close game. I still think Cowboys win twenty
• 33:35
  Speaker 20: four to twenty three. What say you, brother, thanks for
• 33:36
  Speaker 20: having me?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: All right? Thank you? Yeah. I mean it is going
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: to be stop to run and also run the ball.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I mean that's always going to be the key to
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: every game like this that you know, and special teams
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: will factor in. Special teams is going to be important
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: in this one. I think that that's what happens when
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: you have two good teams that are good on offense,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: good on defense. I think the forty nine Ers are
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: the only team, I looked this up, the only team
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: in the NFL that are in the top five of
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: both offense and defense. I think they're two in offense
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and five in defense. And the Cowboys are, like, I
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: have to look at it there like three and ten
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: or something like that. But you know, both both really good.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: But but to me, that's a sign of a really
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: good team was when you're top five in both. So
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: to hang with them special teams and look at last year.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: You know, last year Cowboys could not you know, make
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: extra points. They were they were struggling. The confidence just
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: wasn't there to make kicks. The forty nine ers were
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: kicking field goals left and right. But the Cowboys did
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: have a big fumble recovery that should have led to
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: more points that down there, you know, in the third quarter. So, uh,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: special teams. I think we'll have a huge factor uh
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: in this game. So we will see how how it
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: plays out. All right, Mike and Bowling Green, Kentucky. Mike,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: you're next.
• 34:51
  Speaker 19: Hi, I just want to tell you I love the show.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 34:56
  Speaker 19: I was wondering. I mean, I'm pretty sure the Cowboys
• 34:59
  Speaker 19: are gonna win Sunday. I was one of those. Did
• 35:01
  Speaker 19: you see Dez Bryant on the uh the survival show things.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Special Forces? I believe it's what's called now, I did not.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I did not see that. Let me guess he's he's
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: he's emotional. He's uh yeah, he gets into it with someone.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean yeah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 19: The first day he was throwing up, he was, you
• 35:30
  Speaker 19: know there him and all this stuff. The second day
• 35:33
  Speaker 19: he got he just threw a fit, uh something to
• 35:38
  Speaker 19: get this harnessed thing off of me, and he quit.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: He quit the show.
• 35:42
  Speaker 19: He quit the second day.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Well, you know, I thought it
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: was gonna be something better than that, because if I
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: remember correctly, his very first practice with the team, uh,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: he can. He comes out, all eyes on him, Ricky
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Mini Camp and Dez is out there and it's like
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: you know, early May, and it's pretty hot out there
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: at Valley Ranch, and Dez is looking great. He has
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: great catches, he's doing. He looks the part he threw
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: up all over the field like he you know, he
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: just wasn't prepared for that. So that didn't surprise me
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: as much as when you told me that. But but
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: but yeah, and then throwing a fit, getting upset and
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. That's that's Dez. You know, he's loud.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: But but I didn't know that about the show. I
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: didn't I've seen the commercials. I assumed he was on
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: it for a little bit. All right, Well, all right, well,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: you know that's that's a that's a tough I mean,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: that's a tough show. I mean, obviously it's a Special Forces.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're asking those guys to do a
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: lot and a lot of people to get out of
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: their comfort zone. But you know, I couldn't do it,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna sit here and talk about it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: But Robert hanging in Robert Ory. Yeah, well, you know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, guy's got by eight rings. I mean he's
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: he's been. He's not always the the guy. He wasn't
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: always he was never the guy. He was never the
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: guy to like, oh watch him. But when he was open,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: he hit the shot, big shot, Rob for sure. So
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: all right, Mike, appreciate the call. Uh, let's go to
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Bob in Rio Grand Valley. Bob, what's up still on
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: pins and needles? I think that was you yesterday that
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: said that pins and needles.
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I tell you what, man, we got blessed yesterday.
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: We got an enter rain and we had that any
• 37:24
  Speaker 12: rain in six months. But I got a quick one
• 37:27
  Speaker 12: for you, all right, blast in the past, that the
• 37:32
  Speaker 12: you know boy, if we could have this guy or
• 37:34
  Speaker 12: someone like him today, Mary and Barbara, Yeah, that's your
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: short game at the third and two, third and three,
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: third and one or goal line situations, it dig and
• 37:45
  Speaker 12: dig and dig my predictions. I got the Cowboys twenty seven,
• 37:49
  Speaker 12: I got the forty nine Ers eighteen, and I think
• 37:51
  Speaker 12: we win going away.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: All right? All right, yeah, great with you too, YouTube, Bob.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: You know, Mary and Barbara and I mentioned him earlier
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: too for this question. And it's the same as what
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: the caller said about Eric Williams. It's it's a toughness thing,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: you know, and that a mindset of you're not pushing
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: us around today, You're just not. It's not gonna happen
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: all that crap y'all did in pregame last time and
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: trying to jump in there, and and if anyone doesn't
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: remember this, because I think I've referenced it a couple
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: of times. You know. Obviously, the week before in Tampa Bay,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Brett Maherd missed five extra extra points and so there
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: was a huge, huge debate on what was going to happen.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: There a lot of discussion there. So in the pregame,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: they were they were on the field like they always do.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: It's usually just just holder, snapper, kicker. That's really at
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: that point. That was the only three for both teams.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: They're on this side, this side. Then they kind of
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: switch sides just so they can kick. That was really
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: the only people that are that are typically out there. Uh,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: then returners come in for the punter and all that stuff.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: But at that point, and so the Cowboys are kicking
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: on one end zone and all of a sudden, couple
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: of guys not in uniform yet, but you know, they
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: had headphones on and they had their pads on it.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: It's Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel and it might have
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: been another guy. And they are just in the middle
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: of the snap that the snapper to the holder, Trent
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Williams leaning down, getting right in anger's face, telling him something,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: just kind of in the middle of the whole thing
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: and not not letting them warm up, talking trash, laughing, joking, whatever,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: just trying to get in in Maher's head and whatever.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Jake McQuaid, the former snapper for this team. I believe
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: he's in Detroit. I could be wrong there, but he's not.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: He's not with the team anymore. But he was he
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: was injured. He was not the snapper last year, but
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: he was on the trip and he was there. He
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: was on the sideline. He ran over and he got
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: in the middle of it and he was like, listen,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I know, Robbie Gold Robbie. He goes, Robbie, I'll stand
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: right in the front of your stuff and we'll make
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: sure that you know if we're gonna do. This is
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. And if they ended up, Robbie
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Gold had to come in and push the guys off
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the side and and you know, but at that point,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: you know that was the gamesmanship or whatever was going on.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: It was bush league to me, but whatever. But but
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I guess you could say it worked. All I'm saying
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: is is that I don't think that kind of stuff
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: is gonna happen in this game. And if it does,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's gonna be really be fun. So
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: pay attention if you can to anything that's happening before
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: the game. All Right, Albert in Tucson, Albert, what's up?
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
• 40:29
  Speaker 16: I'm gonna stick on the same note with the kicker.
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: I just wanted to say, you know, I have a
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: lot of confidence in our kicker. You know, yeah, regardless
• 40:42
  Speaker 16: of where he's uh you know, his background, what he's
• 40:47
  Speaker 16: proven to mean, what I mean. It also shows you know,
• 40:50
  Speaker 16: the front office, you know, they got rid of his competition.
• 40:53
  Speaker 16: They said, hey, you know in training camp, you're going
• 40:55
  Speaker 16: to be the guy. And you know, his first kicking
• 40:59
  Speaker 16: to start, well, but I have a lot of confidence
• 41:01
  Speaker 16: in that, and I'm going to do a pick. I'm sorry.
• 41:06
  Speaker 16: My prediction for the game, I got us winning thirty
• 41:10
  Speaker 16: five to ten. I believe that. To the last two meetings, yeah,
• 41:15
  Speaker 16: they were you know, decided by uh maybe a touchdown
• 41:20
  Speaker 16: or less, and we were in those games. But we're
• 41:24
  Speaker 16: our confidence is high. I'm really confident in our kicker,
• 41:29
  Speaker 16: and we're going to do great things this year. So
• 41:32

  Speaker 16: see you on TV.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, Albert, if thanks for the call.

• 41:43
  Speaker 2: thirty five to ten, you better call on Monday. Okay,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: you you have to call. Make sure you get in
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: one way or another, because if you get that one
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: right then you yeah, we'll have you on for a
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: little bit. You'll be able to kind of you it'll
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: be your day. You can just walk in and gloat
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: thirty five to ten or anything close to that. I mean,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that's that would be uh, that would be something.
• 42:09
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna sit here and say, you know,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: the NFL's you know strange, lady, The NFL is weird.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: NFL's got you never know what's gonna happen, and then say,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: well that that's not gonna happen. You never know. You
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: just never know. But man, I don't see that happening.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: That at forty nine ers aren't that type of team
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: really to get to get blown out. And I just
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: just doesn't have that kind of feel. But who knows.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: You just never know. All Right, let's go. We got
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: two more callers, so we're gonna do it quickly. Here
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Sewan and Tennessee. Sean, what's up?
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: Man? Hey, I'm the previous callers with the person you'd bring.
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: I'm bringing Charles Hayley man, cause government had gone on
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: that deping true like Michael Parson, you adn't do anything
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: and char and Michael Parton begin. Yeah, but my question
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: to you is with the defense the way it is,
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: if you're saying, if you're damn Quinn, are you all
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: out on stopping Christian McCaffrey, Because for me, if I
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: and Deebo beat you, okay, I'm fine with that, but
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: you can't get Christian McCaffrey beat you in the game.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, you're your.
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: Game plan and the game plan has to be stopping
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: Christian McCaffrey.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: I agree. I agree with you because what that does
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: is is I mean that's it's the easiest thing in
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: the world, is the hand the ball off or throw
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: a screen. I mean that you're not asking brought Perdy
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: to do a whole lot there. I mean, he doesn't
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: have to do anything. And then and then those are
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: the guys that are that are you know, if they
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: are if they're beating you, then that means they're beating
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: you on first down, second down, not even third and long.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: But but if if you can get that stop, now
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: you're you're forcing not only Purdy to drop back and
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: try to find his guys. Now, obviously Deebo does you know,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: differentferent things with the way he the way they use him,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: But you're basically you're asking the passing game to get,
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: you know, to get involved, and that plays into the
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Cowboys hand. So one hundred percent, I agree that it
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: has to start with with McCaffrey. Don't forget that they
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: stopped him last year. I mean had about thirty eight
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: yards rushing. He didn't have a lot of touches, didn't
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: have a lot of yards. I did score a touchdown
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: late in the game, but but he wasn't a major factor.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: But you know, that was. It was other things that
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: was the Cowboys leading to the Cowboys not having the success.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: All right, last caller, we're gonna go Joe and Stanford. Joe,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: you're typically the first guy, but now you're gonna be
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: the last guy.
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: Joe, what's up, Hey man, gut a cotta.
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: It's been a long week. I haven't been able to
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: catch up with you, so real quick. I think the
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: game is going to go along of old traditions of
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: San Francisco games past, in the tradition of Alvin Harper,
• 44:49
  Speaker 9: Jesse Holly receivers that you never really got their due
• 44:52
  Speaker 9: until they did it. I'm going to go with the
• 44:55
  Speaker 9: Jalen Tolbert making a huge play somewhere towards the end
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: of this game. We're gonna win twenty to say.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, love it, love it. Yeah, you're right.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: You never know who's gonna be that that guy to
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: make the play. And he's he's starting to look like
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: he could be that that that type of receiver. You know,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: just this going to come in. He's gonna play, you know,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: on spot duty. But but you know, every once in
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: a while, the starting receiver is gonna need to need
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: a break and and and the best thing is is
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: that Dak it's all about the confidence from the quarterback.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think Dak's worried about throwing it to him.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I think he trusts him and uh and that's that's
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: like that's level one right there. I mean, really level two.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: You got to have confidence in yourself and then you
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: got to have confidence in the quarterback. Uh or the
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: quarterback has had confidence in you. So it looks like
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: both those things are happening. So I could see Jalen
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Tolbert being the difference maker because that's that's what that's
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: what happens forty nine ers forty nine ers storyline. If
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: there is a guy that's that's doing that for their website,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: he's he's not talking about Jalen Tolbert. He's saying got
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: stop CD go stop the run. Stop Pollard. You know
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: they're front. And then that's when a guy like Cooks
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: are like told Berder Gallup makes a big play. All right,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: great scores, I've got I'm along the same lines as
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: you guys other than Albert who had thirty five to ten.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: But I've got twenty four, twenty four, twenty cowboys, I
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: do think the Cowboys are good enough. I think the
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Cowboys are right there. If not a better football team,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: We're gonna find out. And I just think that they've
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: been closed. They got hit in the mouth two years ago.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Last year, strange game just didn't fall their way. I
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: thought they were just as they were right there, good
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: enough to win that win. Those circumstances kind of go
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: a different way, and they typically do in the NFL.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of why I'm banking on thinking the
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Cowboys will go up there and win this game. And
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: if they do, my Monday show is going to be
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun. Can't wait to be back on
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: with you guys. For Chris Beam all the colors, I'm
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Nick Eatman. We will see you on Monday on Cowboys Storyline.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
