Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
0:08
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
0:11
Speaker 3: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
0:21
Speaker 2: What's up? It's time for Cowboys storylines. It's Thursday, October
0:25
Speaker 2: twenty sixth I'm Nick Eatman here and we're gonna talk
0:29
Speaker 2: Cowboys and Rams. Cowboys are finally getting back from this
0:32
Speaker 2: bye week. You know, I was just talking with Isaiah
0:35
Speaker 2: standback just now on talking Cowboys and how this is
0:39
Speaker 2: such a it's such a long two weeks when you're
0:43
Speaker 2: coming off the by when you when you get to
0:45
Speaker 2: this point here and what are you talking about? You
0:47
Speaker 2: can try to talk about the Rams, but it's not
0:49
Speaker 2: an opponent that you know, has got a whole lot
0:52
Speaker 2: of intrigue. They got some good players. I'm not saying that.
0:54
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it won't be a tough game, but
0:56
Speaker 2: but you know, the matchups not not like it, you know,
0:59
Speaker 2: like it would just sell it on itself, you know.
1:02
Speaker 2: And so when you when your two games, two weeks
1:05
Speaker 2: removed from a game, you know, it takes a long time.
1:08
Speaker 2: That's why it's so important to win that game heading
1:10
Speaker 2: into the buy because if you don't. It seems to
1:13
Speaker 2: linger even more so. At least the Cowboys got that win.
1:15
Speaker 2: They're sitting at four and too. Since that game, there's
1:18
Speaker 2: been a lot of things that kind of happened that
1:21
Speaker 2: I think sort of favor of the Cowboys. It just
1:23
Speaker 2: shows that that, you know, there's there's a lot of
1:26
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of parody teams that we
1:29
Speaker 2: thought were really good. Maybe it may not be as great.
1:31
Speaker 2: I know the Eagles are good. Michael Parsons thinks the
1:35
Speaker 2: Eagles are good. We've talked about that. But no, they
1:38
Speaker 2: are good. I mean, the record says that they are.
1:40
Speaker 2: But guess what. The Cowboys get to face them in
1:41
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. But we're not jumping ahead of
1:44
Speaker 2: the Rams. Just know that where they stand right now,
1:47
Speaker 2: that will be a huge game. If the Cowboys can
1:49
Speaker 2: take care of business there and beat It's gonna be
1:52
Speaker 2: a big game anyways, but it'll if the Cowboys can
1:55
Speaker 2: can get the five and two this week and beat
1:57
Speaker 2: the Rams and extend this winning streak at home, that's
2:01
Speaker 2: I believe at ten games right now, could be eleven.
2:05
Speaker 2: And let me say this, credit to the fans. Credit
2:08
Speaker 2: to the fans for for making it a place where
2:11
Speaker 2: it's tough to play, because let's be honest, it wasn't
2:15
Speaker 2: always that way. It's not an easy place to have
2:19
Speaker 2: a dominant home crowd. Uh we've talked about this before.
2:23
Speaker 2: It it can get loud, of course, but you know
2:26
Speaker 2: at and T Stadium is is a it's a destination
2:29
Speaker 2: place when when other teams look at the schedule that
2:32
Speaker 2: they look at Dallas and go, hey, let's go to Dallas.
2:35
Speaker 2: Let's go to this stadium if we've never been easy
2:37
Speaker 2: to get to. Wherever you are in the in the country,
2:41
Speaker 2: it's gonna be good weather. You don't have to worry
2:43
Speaker 2: about that. Uh So, so you know, it's a place
2:45
Speaker 2: where you are going to see a lot of fans
2:47
Speaker 2: from other teams. And and but but credit the Cowboys
2:50
Speaker 2: and the fans and the players and all that for
2:52
Speaker 2: for winning these games and and and and having this
2:55
Speaker 2: streak at home. Another thing that's gonna happen this week
2:58
Speaker 2: at halftime is a DeMarcus Ware is going to go
3:01
Speaker 2: into the Ring of Honor officially, so that that will
3:06
Speaker 2: be cool to see that. So all right, eight a
3:08
Speaker 2: eight eight five five two two ninety seven. That is
3:11
Speaker 2: the phone number. And we got a couple of callers
3:13
Speaker 2: already on the line, so let's get started. We got
3:16
Speaker 2: Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky. Michael, what's up all right?
3:21
Speaker 4: So trade deadlines coming up?
3:23
Speaker 5: M h.
3:24
Speaker 4: I saw an article on USA Today's Sports last night,
3:30
Speaker 4: and uh, I want to get your take on it.
3:32
Speaker 4: If it's possible, I think it's doable. I think if
3:36
Speaker 4: it happens the Cowboys, I think they'll get past the Eagles.
3:41
Speaker 4: I think it's a big, big deal if they could
3:43
Speaker 4: do it. The two options that they addressed in the article,
3:48
Speaker 4: where you send the number one draft pick next year
3:53
Speaker 4: to the Tennessee Titans for Derick Henry and you're done.
3:57
Speaker 4: Or you send the number five of draft pick and
4:02
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard to the Titans for Derrick Henry and you know,
4:08
Speaker 4: I guess you have freeco as your is your one
4:12
Speaker 4: two punch instead of Pollard and Henry. Do you think
4:16
Speaker 4: either of those as possible? Do you think either it
4:20
Speaker 4: could be likely? I think it.
4:21
Speaker 6: Would make it.
4:22
Speaker 4: The way the Cowboys are wanting to run so much.
4:26
Speaker 4: I mean Derrick Henry, I mean he's like uh, he's
4:30
Speaker 4: like Z plus I mean.
4:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right here, I appreciate the call. Michael. Here,
4:40
Speaker 2: here's the problem that we have. I can sit here
4:42
Speaker 2: and say, hey, guys, it's your show and it is
4:45
Speaker 2: the problem is is that it's not This isn't a
4:48
Speaker 2: topic that I can really address that much of Dallas
4:51
Speaker 2: Cowboys Radio, Dallas Cowboys websites, our properties. We're not gonna
4:55
Speaker 2: sit here and talk about players on other teams. I
4:58
Speaker 2: know it's not as fun for you. You guys, I
5:00
Speaker 2: get it, because this is the time where where you
5:02
Speaker 2: want to have all these scenarios. And USA today can
5:04
Speaker 2: do that kind of stuff, and the radio stations can
5:07
Speaker 2: do that, and we have people that work on these
5:09
Speaker 2: on these shows, in these podcasts, that have other affiliates
5:13
Speaker 2: that they can do that. It's harder for us to
5:15
Speaker 2: do that because what happens is, here's why is that
5:20
Speaker 2: any player that you just mentioned. If we sat here
5:23
Speaker 2: and talked about it and talked about it for a
5:25
Speaker 2: while and then it happened, then other teams are looking
5:28
Speaker 2: around and going, well, this was in the works for
5:30
Speaker 2: a long time. The Cowboys were tampering. They were already
5:33
Speaker 2: talking about it because on their radio shows, on their
5:35
Speaker 2: own website, they were talking about it and so this
5:38
Speaker 2: was this was a done deal way before it happened.
5:40
Speaker 2: So that's why that's why it's just hard for us
5:43
Speaker 2: to go down that road with specific players. Okay, so
5:47
Speaker 2: specific players, I'm not going to go there with you.
5:51
Speaker 2: But if you want to talk about big, strong, experienced
5:53
Speaker 2: running backs in the league, if there was a guy
5:55
Speaker 2: out there that's done some things, I think that could
5:59
Speaker 2: help the I think they could use a running back
6:02
Speaker 2: like that. I'm not looking to trade Tony Pollard for
6:06
Speaker 2: it though. I'm not looking to trade Pollard for a guy.
6:08
Speaker 2: And not that's not what I'm trying. That's not going
6:11
Speaker 2: all in to me that. That's just saying, all right,
6:13
Speaker 2: that's a that's addressing one problem. Now I got another problem.
6:17
Speaker 2: I mean, you need playmakers. So I think if you're
6:21
Speaker 2: going to add a running back, I think you got
6:23
Speaker 2: to add him to the list with Tony Pollard and
6:26
Speaker 2: whatever that takes. I don't think the Cowboys would part
6:30
Speaker 2: ways with a I don't think the think about this.
6:34
Speaker 2: You're not going to trade a first round pick for
6:36
Speaker 2: a running back when you're don't even want to draft
6:39
Speaker 2: one in the first round. I mean, like like teams
6:41
Speaker 2: don't like to draft running backs in the first round
6:43
Speaker 2: unless they're really really special, And so I don't think
6:47
Speaker 2: you're going to you know, you're you're not going to
6:51
Speaker 2: trade for one who's been in the league and he's
6:54
Speaker 2: on the down side of his career, I would think
6:56
Speaker 2: as a running back. So that's why, that's that's why
6:59
Speaker 2: it's gonna be up to trade for any running back.
7:01
Speaker 2: Teams are gonna want value for their for their player.
7:04
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know it's this is
7:06
Speaker 2: not a herschel Walker situation, that those days are gone.
7:09
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen, all right. Next caller Travis in
7:12
Speaker 2: San Antonio. Travis, what's up?
7:15
Speaker 7: And Nick, how's it going?
7:16
Speaker 2: I'm good?
7:16
Speaker 8: How are you good?
7:19
Speaker 7: Just a couple of things. I know it's been kind
7:21
Speaker 7: of a not a theme, but kind of looks to
7:23
Speaker 7: talked about. And I just wanted to give my theory
7:25
Speaker 7: and see if I'm if you think I'm crazy or not,
7:28
Speaker 7: but on the whole, on the whole, yeah you might.
7:32
Speaker 7: You never know.
7:33
Speaker 2: We're all crazy. We're all crazy all the little way,
7:35
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
7:37
Speaker 7: To an extent, Yeah, yeah, the whole Jerry Stephen thing.
7:42
Speaker 7: You know, I've listened to brought us the last couple
7:44
Speaker 7: of days, the last couple of weeks. And you know,
7:46
Speaker 7: he's the thing that I was like, what brought us
7:48
Speaker 7: is He's very honest about like a I sucked or whatever.
7:51
Speaker 7: You know, he just kind of says, he says it
7:54
Speaker 7: like it is, which is which is great, but the
7:56
Speaker 7: whole you know, he's He's even said this week, I
7:59
Speaker 7: want the old Jerry back, the Olderia back that if
8:01
Speaker 7: you want two first round picks for Joey Gelaight here
8:03
Speaker 7: to take them, let's go. Yeah, yep, because just because
8:12
Speaker 7: and I guess the first point is it's kind of
8:15
Speaker 7: like a coach. You know how we always talk about
8:16
Speaker 7: coaches and we always want coach to to understand where
8:19
Speaker 7: their team at is in a game. It happened to
8:21
Speaker 7: Ron Rivera a couple of weeks ago where he was like,
8:24
Speaker 7: they could have gone for two to beat the Eagles
8:26
Speaker 7: and he didn't, and they were re asked the game,
8:28
Speaker 7: he was asked, why didn't you go for to or
8:30
Speaker 7: I think it was the Giants, and he said, well,
8:33
Speaker 7: you know, my team was exhausted, and they were like, well, yeah,
8:35
Speaker 7: that's so go for two, go for the win, Like
8:37
Speaker 7: if you know your team is exhausted, why would you
8:39
Speaker 7: want to go to overtime. So it's just kind of
8:41
Speaker 7: the same thing. It's like, understand and I'm not saying
8:44
Speaker 7: you can do it every year, because not every year
8:46
Speaker 7: you have an amazing team, but you have to have
8:49
Speaker 7: I think you have to have a little bit of
8:50
Speaker 7: a pulse of the team to know like, this may
8:52
Speaker 7: be our best chance even looking forward to do it now,
8:56
Speaker 7: so let's be aggressive, let's go. And I guess, you know,
9:00
Speaker 7: he used to be that way. And I think somewhat
9:03
Speaker 7: because I heard drops called yesterday, I think somewhat what's
9:05
Speaker 7: happened is like he used to be that way. He
9:07
Speaker 7: got burned on the gallwich or he got burned on
9:08
Speaker 7: the lower looms straight. And then I think Steven's come
9:11
Speaker 7: in and he's kind of been the ying of Jerry's gang,
9:13
Speaker 7: where he's kind of like, you know, Jerry still wants
9:15
Speaker 7: to do it, but he's like, hey, you know, maybe
9:17
Speaker 7: we should we got to think about X, Y and Z.
9:20
Speaker 7: So he's kind of scaled back a little bit. Yeah,
9:23
Speaker 7: And I do think just being competitive, although it's great,
9:27
Speaker 7: it is good for business.
9:29
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Michael hold On Travis. Sorry, sorry, Travis, Travis.
9:34
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. I'm gonna I'm gonna throw
9:35
Speaker 2: it back at you. Yep, what are the three name
9:39
Speaker 2: the three times where you think Jerry has kind of
9:42
Speaker 2: gone all in and made moves like that? Can you
9:45
Speaker 2: give me three examples?
9:47
Speaker 7: I don't think I know you. I know you said
9:49
Speaker 7: that the Mary Cooper thing was that. I don't think
9:51
Speaker 7: that was it because I'll tell you why, Because although
9:55
Speaker 7: the Amari Cooper thing was like, yeah, we give the
9:57
Speaker 7: first round pick, what was the reason we had to
10:00
Speaker 7: do that. We went into the season going we got
10:04
Speaker 7: we got enough, what we like our receivers, that was
10:07
Speaker 7: the reason.
10:08
Speaker 2: Okay, but give me give me some examples of these
10:10
Speaker 2: moves that are like big moves. And you wouldn't call
10:12
Speaker 2: that a big move trading the first round.
10:13
Speaker 7: Pick, No, because you do that a desperation.
10:16
Speaker 2: Okay, So when has that happened? When? When when has
10:20
Speaker 2: Jerry done this?
10:21
Speaker 8: Then?
10:21
Speaker 2: What is the old Jerry doing?
10:22
Speaker 4: What?
10:23
Speaker 7: Joey Galloway, Yeah, I mean I guess it's it's more
10:27
Speaker 7: so I'm not saying that was right back then to
10:29
Speaker 7: do it. Then I'm saying it's you want to be
10:32
Speaker 7: I guess it's marring the two together, like those weren't
10:35
Speaker 7: necessarily the great moves. That was probably overpaying and not
10:37
Speaker 7: the right time to do it. That's what I'm saying
10:40
Speaker 7: with the whole coach, like understand like if this is
10:42
Speaker 7: the right time, be willing to do it. And the
10:44
Speaker 7: two things like like right now, someone called yesterday and said,
10:49
Speaker 7: you know, we're we're okay at corner. We're okay at corner,
10:53
Speaker 7: but if we have if Gilmore Bland goes down, we're
10:56
Speaker 7: going to be just like we were last year, where
10:58
Speaker 7: we have guys coming off the street. Yeah, so add
11:01
Speaker 7: one to it, like Jalen Johnson from the Bears. I'd
11:04
Speaker 7: give up a second round pick. And the other thing
11:06
Speaker 7: that I would do is, I know it's a popular
11:09
Speaker 7: one with Derek Henry, I don't think. I know you
11:12
Speaker 7: mentioned yesterday that the compensation might be crazy, but I
11:14
Speaker 7: don't think it's going to because he's a thirty, he's
11:16
Speaker 7: almost thirty, he's a running back and maybe next year
11:20
Speaker 7: is four and a you know, pick a defensive lineman.
11:23
Speaker 7: I'm not saying just pick one like whatever, but Jordan
11:25
Speaker 7: Simonstrong or something like that, because the offensive line to
11:30
Speaker 7: your point is not necessarily the like they're not blocking
11:34
Speaker 7: well right now. I think they will figure it out.
11:37
Speaker 7: But they didn't block all these well for Zeke last year.
11:39
Speaker 7: But what we always say, he would turn one and
11:42
Speaker 7: get three, two or the four. So I think that
11:45
Speaker 7: would really help. And those are the two moves, the
11:47
Speaker 7: two moves that I would make.
11:48
Speaker 2: All right, I appreciate that. Thanks, thanks for the college Travison.
11:52
Speaker 2: And you know, I think I think the Cowboy I
11:54
Speaker 2: know a lot of you speak for a lot of
11:56
Speaker 2: Cowboy fans that kind of want to do something, want
11:59
Speaker 2: them to kind of, you know, fix some needs here.
12:03
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys would like to fix some needs
12:06
Speaker 2: now that could also help down the road. Cornerback makes
12:10
Speaker 2: sense there because you know Diggs will be back. But
12:14
Speaker 2: then also and Bland is here, but then you know
12:16
Speaker 2: how much more does Gilmour have and and if you
12:18
Speaker 2: could have another cornerback in that group that you could
12:21
Speaker 2: have and re sign, that makes sense. Running back, you know,
12:26
Speaker 2: running back is tricky, and it's a tricky position, and
12:30
Speaker 2: so if you get if you get an older running back,
12:33
Speaker 2: it's still probably not going to be your answer for
12:35
Speaker 2: the future. And who's to say that you have to
12:36
Speaker 2: do that. Maybe you you you draft one and and
12:39
Speaker 2: you know in the first, second, third round and next
12:42
Speaker 2: year and move on. So yeah, there's a lot of
12:44
Speaker 2: options that Cowboys could go. Let me say this though,
12:47
Speaker 2: I do put the Marii Cooper in one of those moves.
12:49
Speaker 2: I kind of say three three times that Jerry has done.
12:52
Speaker 2: I mean, let's just call what is trade in the
12:54
Speaker 2: first round pick? When you trade a first round pick,
12:57
Speaker 2: And it happened in two thousand with Joey Galloway, it
12:59
Speaker 2: happened in two thousand and eight with Roy Williams, and
13:03
Speaker 2: then it happened in two thousand and eighteen with Amari Cooper.
13:09
Speaker 2: They made the playoffs in two thousand and nine right
13:12
Speaker 2: after Roy Williams, and they made it that year with
13:14
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper. But go back and look and of course
13:17
Speaker 2: Joey Galloway that he got hurt after they made that
13:20
Speaker 2: deal with Joey Galloway, they didn't make the playoffs for
13:24
Speaker 2: four seasons after the trade with Roy Williams. They made
13:28
Speaker 2: it the next year, but then they didn't make it
13:31
Speaker 2: four out of the five years, and then with Amari
13:34
Speaker 2: Cooper they made it that year and then didn't make
13:36
Speaker 2: it for two straight years, So I mean, you can
13:40
Speaker 2: just make the argument either way to have these moves
13:43
Speaker 2: helped right then, yes and no. Had they helped long term?
13:47
Speaker 2: Maybe not? So a lot of things to kind of
13:50
Speaker 2: factor in and when you're giving up and I don't
13:52
Speaker 2: think the COB is going to give up a first
13:53
Speaker 2: round pick for anybody. I just don't think that that's
13:55
Speaker 2: going to happen this year, all right, Steven Newport, Washington, Steve,
14:01
Speaker 2: what's up, man?
14:02
Speaker 6: I got a question? I got uh. I was really
14:06
Speaker 6: impressed in the preseason with Hunter Lipke, okay, and I
14:12
Speaker 6: think they utilized him a little bit the first game,
14:15
Speaker 6: but haven't seen him since. I think he's good catching
14:20
Speaker 6: the ball out of the backfield. He was seemed to
14:24
Speaker 6: be a good blocker, and they were going to use
14:26
Speaker 6: him as a full back. They kept him under roster
14:29
Speaker 6: seemed to be for some reason. Any idea why they
14:32
Speaker 6: haven't utilized.
14:33
Speaker 2: Well, Steve, Steve, I don't. I don't agree with you.
14:35
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I think Hunter Lipkey has actually added
14:39
Speaker 2: every single game. It seems like his workload has been
14:42
Speaker 2: more and more each game. I'm not sure I'm seeing
14:45
Speaker 2: seeing it the way you're seeing it, because I feel like, uh,
14:49
Speaker 2: they do add a little bit more to his plate
14:52
Speaker 2: every single game. I saw it in this last game
14:54
Speaker 2: with the Chargers. I saw him lineup basically as a
14:57
Speaker 2: tight end. I've seen him at fullback. I've seen him
14:59
Speaker 2: with the running the ball and getting into the end zone.
15:02
Speaker 2: We've seen him as the lead blocker. We've seen him
15:04
Speaker 2: catch out of the backfield. We've seen him on special teams.
15:07
Speaker 2: I think he is actually the trajectory of Hunter Lifkey
15:11
Speaker 2: is way faster than I thought it was going to be.
15:14
Speaker 2: So I disagree with you there. I think they really
15:18
Speaker 2: like him, and I think they're continuing to add stuff
15:20
Speaker 2: to his plate. He's not the lead running back. Maybe
15:22
Speaker 2: he could be, you know, I mean not as the starter,
15:25
Speaker 2: but maybe he had could have that role a little
15:27
Speaker 2: bit more. So I'm not going with you on that one.
15:30
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys are very excited about Hunter Lipkey,
15:32
Speaker 2: and I think that they're giving him opportunities to grow
15:36
Speaker 2: right right before our eyes.
15:39
Speaker 6: Because the people were talking about bringing in other running
15:42
Speaker 6: backs and other other things that I'm talking about.
15:45
Speaker 2: You want to you want to go to the liftkey
15:47
Speaker 2: for what we have all right, well, I mean, and
15:49
Speaker 2: that's that's definitely an option there. So Steve, you have
15:55
Speaker 2: any other question or is that.
15:56
Speaker 6: It was all right?
15:58
Speaker 2: Well thanks, I appreciate the call and and you know,
16:00
Speaker 2: and that's that's that's another thing. I mean, that's what
16:03
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are trying to figure out here. I mean,
16:04
Speaker 2: you know, what do you do?
16:06
Speaker 9: You do?
16:06
Speaker 2: You do? You go on the outside and and bring
16:09
Speaker 2: someone in. And you know, there's that term progress stopper,
16:13
Speaker 2: which I don't think the fans really care about that
16:15
Speaker 2: right now. I think they want to go win win
16:17
Speaker 2: games and try to win Super Bowl, and I get it,
16:20
Speaker 2: but you know, you are trying to develop your own players,
16:22
Speaker 2: and so it just got to make sense. It's the
16:25
Speaker 2: moves have to make sense, and there's more factors than
16:28
Speaker 2: just saying you know, and I keep going back to Madden,
16:30
Speaker 2: but I think people think like that, like I've gotten
16:34
Speaker 2: seventy seven overall player, I need to get an eighty five.
16:38
Speaker 2: It just doesn't work that way because there's way more
16:42
Speaker 2: to it involved there. And so I do think the
16:45
Speaker 2: Cowboys are thinking about stuff, and I think they're I
16:47
Speaker 2: think they're on the phone. I think they're they're they're looking.
16:50
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily buy that part about Jerry's hayen. It's
16:53
Speaker 2: got to come to me. I don't. I don't. That's
16:55
Speaker 2: not why you have twenty scouts and all the coaches
16:58
Speaker 2: and the executives like that. I mean, look, they know
17:00
Speaker 2: what's out there. They know what other teams are possibly
17:04
Speaker 2: trying to do and move players. They know the contract
17:06
Speaker 2: situations of other guys, and so you know, it wouldn't
17:09
Speaker 2: surprise me at off the Cowboys initiate a move and
17:13
Speaker 2: make one. All right, Sebastian and Savannah Georgia, Sebastian, what's up.
17:19
Speaker 8: Good morning, Good morning, and shout out to Mike and Savannah.
17:21
Speaker 10: I heard them call the other day.
17:22
Speaker 8: We had almost the same colin.
17:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what was going on? I mean, Savannah's just dominating.
17:26
Speaker 8: Their keeping an eye on the team. What I wanted
17:30
Speaker 8: to see is like I disagree with something because it's
17:34
Speaker 8: been happening since, like the Jason Garrett administration. I feel
17:36
Speaker 8: like this front office has a lot of face that
17:38
Speaker 8: they put into the first back on this team, and
17:41
Speaker 8: I feel like we have, we might already have on
17:44
Speaker 8: the team the type of backs that we need as
17:45
Speaker 8: far as we Goodato goes and hunt and lyfty, so
17:48
Speaker 8: before the death of trade deadline and like going out
17:50
Speaker 8: and getting a big name or something like that. I
17:52
Speaker 8: would be putting these guys to their paces in these
17:54
Speaker 8: next couple of games to see if they can do
17:55
Speaker 8: it or not. You know, I mean, darn Blanta showed
17:58
Speaker 8: you these rookies can play from a very young age.
18:01
Speaker 8: As far as what we need, I tweeted this morning,
18:04
Speaker 8: I don't know if you saw it. I would love
18:05
Speaker 8: to find like a linebacker like ROLANDA.
18:08
Speaker 10: McLean.
18:08
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's gonna be Rishad Evans, but
18:10
Speaker 8: I think we need another linebacker for death. But the
18:13
Speaker 8: move that I really want is if we go out
18:15
Speaker 8: there and I'm willing to go as high as the
18:17
Speaker 8: second round because a lot of our second rounders don't
18:19
Speaker 8: pan out our first grade, and our second round is
18:21
Speaker 8: gonna always pan.
18:22
Speaker 7: Out a defensive tackle.
18:24
Speaker 8: That's really what we wanted Madie Smith to be already,
18:28
Speaker 8: because I feel like Midas Smith is going to take
18:30
Speaker 8: more time to develop. And I'll hang of a.
18:31
Speaker 2: Listener, all right, e great death, All right? You know
18:33
Speaker 2: what I like where you're thinking, I mean, like what
18:35
Speaker 2: you're thinking about second rounders, because you're right, it's been
18:38
Speaker 2: a position. I mean, it's been a spot in the
18:40
Speaker 2: in the draft where the Cowboys get you know, kind
18:44
Speaker 2: of they get risky, and that's that's where I think
18:47
Speaker 2: Jerry has has uh that's where his hands are kind
18:50
Speaker 2: of have been his fingerprints on the draft. A lot
18:54
Speaker 2: is that second round. Go back. You could go back
18:58
Speaker 2: a decade. There's there's several players they've drafted of saying,
19:03
Speaker 2: you know what, we have a first round grade on him,
19:06
Speaker 2: but injury wise he's in the second round, or off
19:10
Speaker 2: the field issues or whatever it is, we feel like
19:13
Speaker 2: we can steal some value by getting him in the
19:16
Speaker 2: second round. Go all the way back to Bruce Carter
19:20
Speaker 2: in twenty eleven, broke his leg. I believe in his
19:23
Speaker 2: senior year, they drafted him in the second round. I
19:27
Speaker 2: mean it goes on and on. I mean, obviously you
19:30
Speaker 2: know Randy Gregory, Sean Lee, I mean Sewan Lee actually
19:34
Speaker 2: was before Bruce Carter. That was another example that worked,
19:36
Speaker 2: that worked. That might have been one of the reasons
19:39
Speaker 2: why they continued to do it because the Shawn Lee, well,
19:43
Speaker 2: let's say it worked. He was a great player, but
19:45
Speaker 2: he was there in the second round because of injuries,
19:48
Speaker 2: and injuries is the reason why he's probably not. It
19:50
Speaker 2: wasn't a you know, perennial pro bowler. I think he
19:53
Speaker 2: made it twice, but he could have been so great.
19:56
Speaker 2: And that's the thing they Cobbays saw that in college.
19:58
Speaker 2: They just had to weigh weigh that. So second round,
20:01
Speaker 2: you know, they got Traymon Diggs, that Kelvin Joseph, Sam Williams.
20:07
Speaker 2: I mean, they they're they're going for players with you know,
20:10
Speaker 2: a little bit of baggage, baby, but also trying to
20:12
Speaker 2: get some value. So why not jump jump the whole
20:16
Speaker 2: year and and trade a second round pick for a really,
20:18
Speaker 2: really talented player. You can get a lot of value
20:20
Speaker 2: for a second round pick at this part point in
20:23
Speaker 2: the season. So I mean, I wouldn't hate it. I
20:27
Speaker 2: wouldn't hate that that move if that have, especially if
20:29
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are going to keep drafting the way they
20:32
Speaker 2: are with that kind of strategy in the second round,
20:34
Speaker 2: that I'm fine going ahead and risking it on a
20:36
Speaker 2: on a veteran player that's been proven, uh and doing
20:39
Speaker 2: it that way. So I like that. I like that move.
20:43
Speaker 2: Now you said, give the running backs a couple of
20:45
Speaker 2: games I think they'll have one. I mean, they have
20:47
Speaker 2: one more game to do this. I think the deadline
20:49
Speaker 2: is the thirty first next Tuesday. So all right, let's
20:52
Speaker 2: go to Marco in Vancouver, Washington. Marco.
20:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, how you doing good?
20:57
Speaker 11: How are you not too bad?
21:00
Speaker 12: Hey?
21:02
Speaker 11: Yesterday a caller asked the question about which player would
21:07
Speaker 11: you bring back? And you kind of spun it around
21:09
Speaker 11: on him. Yeah, because it's easy to pick Hall of famers.
21:15
Speaker 11: And as soon as you said, like, not a Hall
21:17
Speaker 11: of Famer, the first guy that popped in my head
21:21
Speaker 11: was Travis Frederick And really I thought about it bore
21:26
Speaker 11: and since he left with his illness, because his arrival
21:31
Speaker 11: was really kind of the arrival of the Cowboys offensive line.
21:35
Speaker 11: I mean, that's what got DeMarco Murray paid. You know,
21:39
Speaker 11: people talk about wanting rookie Dak and in Zeke's rookie year,
21:44
Speaker 11: well he was. He was the one that kind of
21:46
Speaker 11: kept that line going and everything. Really since he since
21:51
Speaker 11: he left, that's when the questions I feel started about
21:54
Speaker 11: Dak and even Zeke when he was here, the running game,
21:58
Speaker 11: they all kind of kind of went down. So, yeah,
22:01
Speaker 11: if I could bring back one guy, it'd be Travis Frederick.
22:04
Speaker 11: I mean I kind of was hopeful with Tyler Beyondage
22:06
Speaker 11: because you know, they kind of had similar credentials coming
22:09
Speaker 11: out of college. But Travis, I think was just a
22:14
Speaker 11: little bit bigger. You know, there's a finesse that's involved
22:17
Speaker 11: with with that position too, and but you need that
22:20
Speaker 11: size and I think that's where uh, Beyondage kind of
22:23
Speaker 11: kind of lacks at the moment.
22:25
Speaker 8: Yeah.
22:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and you know, I mean we all we
22:29
Speaker 2: obviously have seen mid round pigs, fourth sixth rounders, We've
22:32
Speaker 2: seen them shine. But you know, you're seeing the difference
22:35
Speaker 2: of them drafting Travis Frederick in the first round and
22:38
Speaker 2: draft drafting in the fourth. You know that that was
22:43
Speaker 2: the difference. I mean, they were different there.
22:46
Speaker 10: Yeah.
22:46
Speaker 11: Well, that that's another thing that's always kind of baffled
22:48
Speaker 11: me the last few years, especially since he's been gone.
22:52
Speaker 11: People always arguing over she would take a tackler guard
22:55
Speaker 11: or you know, can the tackle play guard. I was
22:58
Speaker 11: and I've always kind of argued, we need a center,
23:01
Speaker 11: we need to replace Travis, you know, since he's been gone. Yeah,
23:05
Speaker 11: I just kind of kind of hope maybe they kind
23:07
Speaker 11: of start looking that way more when they have the
23:10
Speaker 11: opportunity to kind of to get those type of players
23:15
Speaker 11: earlier in the draft.
23:17
Speaker 2: All right, all right, appreciate that. I appreciate the call.
23:21
Speaker 2: You know, the center has been kind of interesting the
23:23
Speaker 2: last couple of years. It looked like the Cowboys might
23:26
Speaker 2: focus on that because you know, Beatdish was struggling a
23:29
Speaker 2: little bit and or just hadn't developed like like you
23:32
Speaker 2: thought he would. It took a little time, so I
23:37
Speaker 2: think it was what two years ago, you know, there
23:40
Speaker 2: was some talk that maybe they would draft the center
23:42
Speaker 2: when they drafted Tyler Smith. You know, there were some
23:44
Speaker 2: centers out there. They didn't take any center. They didn't
23:48
Speaker 2: They weren't in love with some of the centers that
23:50
Speaker 2: were out there, and and they they felt like what
23:53
Speaker 2: they had was was better than that. As it turned out,
23:57
Speaker 2: he made the Pro Bowl. Not take that back, he
24:00
Speaker 2: didn't make the Pro He made the Pro Bowl this
24:02
Speaker 2: past year. But either way, I mean, I mean, be honest,
24:07
Speaker 2: his development has been better. So you know, I feel
24:12
Speaker 2: like something's got to give here because you know, he's
24:15
Speaker 2: another guy with a contract that that's coming up, and
24:17
Speaker 2: they got to make some decisions on him. They're going
24:19
Speaker 2: to see what his long term health looks like. But yes,
24:22
Speaker 2: it's one of those positions that could be upgraded. But
24:26
Speaker 2: it's it's working for the most part, and I don't
24:29
Speaker 2: think it's it's you know, I don't think it's too
24:32
Speaker 2: troublesome at this at this moment. But like a lot
24:34
Speaker 2: of positions, you could get better at it, all right,
24:37
Speaker 2: Chris in San Angelo, what's up?
24:40
Speaker 12: Hey?
24:41
Speaker 6: Doing well?
24:41
Speaker 10: Nick? I love your show and thank you for taking
24:43
Speaker 10: my call.
24:44
Speaker 2: So this this game, this game, you're you're okay this weekend?
24:47
Speaker 2: Not pulling for the Rams, right Like you're not gonna
24:50
Speaker 2: pull for the Rams all the way.
24:52
Speaker 10: If you want to know the truth I have. I'm
24:54
Speaker 10: not really sure how they're doing because I don't think
24:56
Speaker 10: it's so good.
24:57
Speaker 8: All right.
24:58
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Angelo's eight Rams, which I've seen. I
25:02
Speaker 2: don't know what the color scheme looks like right now,
25:05
Speaker 2: but I've seen they look a lot like the La
25:06
Speaker 2: Rams times the way.
25:08
Speaker 10: They yes, very a lot of similars. Hey, I just
25:12
Speaker 10: had one question, Nick, with the success of recent success
25:17
Speaker 10: of the Rangers, basically the team across the street, do
25:21
Speaker 10: you think that adds any kind of pressure to ownership,
25:26
Speaker 10: coach anything like that? You know, It's like they hired
25:31
Speaker 10: them a new guy and then boom during the Yeah,
25:34
Speaker 10: they're in the series. You know. Yeah, A silly question.
25:39
Speaker 2: No, it's not, it's not. It's not. I mean, it
25:42
Speaker 2: gets talked about, It gets talked about here. I just
25:45
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think it adds. I mean, let's let's
25:49
Speaker 2: be honest. How much more pressure could the Cowboys be under?
25:52
Speaker 2: I mean, how many how much more pressure? I mean
25:53
Speaker 2: they're there, They're head coach, has won twelve games in
25:57
Speaker 2: a row, two years in a row. And if it
25:59
Speaker 2: doesn't win twelve games this year or go to the
26:01
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game, there will be a lot of talk
26:04
Speaker 2: about maybe a change. What more pressure can you have?
26:08
Speaker 2: I mean the pressure is here. It's nice the Rangers. Yeah,
26:12
Speaker 2: but the Rangers are not the Cowboys, and let's I
26:15
Speaker 2: love watching the Rangers. Whatever the the you know, Friday
26:18
Speaker 2: night game one, I don't know what what what kind
26:21
Speaker 2: of rating that's going to be like on you know,
26:23
Speaker 2: from television ratings, it'll probably equal the Cowboys preseason game,
26:28
Speaker 2: that's what you know. I mean, So, I don't know,
26:32
Speaker 2: maybe there's the sponsors feel differently. Maybe they feel like, oh,
26:36
Speaker 2: you know, maybe you know that they're trying to get
26:38
Speaker 2: deals done and if the Rangers want it all, it
26:40
Speaker 2: might effect but we're we're all everyone's pulling for the Rangers,
26:44
Speaker 2: I think, and I don't think it affects one way
26:46
Speaker 2: or another. I really don't.
26:48
Speaker 10: All right, Well, thank you for anyway.
26:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Chris, Well, have a great weekend. I
26:54
Speaker 2: say weekend. It's Thursday. You can say weekend. Yeah, when
26:57
Speaker 2: once football starts, it's it's pretty much starts the weekend.
27:00
Speaker 2: In another there's NFL games, I guess tonight. So that's
27:05
Speaker 2: close enough to go with the weekend. Let's actually go

29:37
Speaker 2: Thank you. Uh. Is it possible we placed too much
29:40
Speaker 2: confidence in Mozzie Smith's development as a starter. How can
29:43
Speaker 2: we scheme Deuce more as a slot receiver. Well, we
29:49
Speaker 2: didn't put the confidence on We didn't put confidence on
29:53
Speaker 2: Mozzi Smith. The Cowboys did by drafting him. I mean,
29:56
Speaker 2: when when you draft a player in the first round,
29:58
Speaker 2: there's a lot of players to take there. So usually
30:02
Speaker 2: what you're doing is is you're drafting a guy that
30:05
Speaker 2: can help you right now in some way and then
30:09
Speaker 2: down the road. He could be a big time starter.
30:11
Speaker 2: But but most of the time, as a first round pick,
30:13
Speaker 2: you expect them to start. That's why you're taking him
30:16
Speaker 2: to be better than what you have so and that
30:20
Speaker 2: hasn't been the case so far with MASSI. So I
30:21
Speaker 2: don't think we have put too much expectations. First round
30:25
Speaker 2: picks typically come in and contribute one way or another.
30:28
Speaker 2: That hasn't happened yet. Not giving up on him, just
30:32
Speaker 2: saying that that you know that it just hasn't gelled
30:35
Speaker 2: just yet Deuce as a slot receiver. But I don't
30:39
Speaker 2: that's a stretch right there. I don't I don't see
30:42
Speaker 2: that as a slot receiver. I think he could be
30:44
Speaker 2: a gadget type player. But but you know, they haven't
30:48
Speaker 2: figured out the role for him just yet.
30:51
Speaker 5: Uh.
30:51
Speaker 2: And when they have given him the ball, you know,
30:53
Speaker 2: he hasn't been highly productive either. It's one thing to
30:55
Speaker 2: go up against guys that aren't going to be in
30:57
Speaker 2: the league, like in the third fourth quarter of a
30:59
Speaker 2: pre season game, but when you're playing actual starters, it's
31:03
Speaker 2: been a little different for him. So not to say
31:05
Speaker 2: he can't develop as well, but right now, that's not
31:07
Speaker 2: the best option there. All right, let's go to Bruce
31:10
Speaker 2: in Houston on the line.
31:11
Speaker 15: Bruce, what's up, Hey, Nick, thanks for taking my call. Sure,
31:17
Speaker 15: Mazzie Smith, I still think it was a great draft. Yeah,
31:21
Speaker 15: it's not a splash position defensive tackles. They got him
31:25
Speaker 15: to replace Hankins when he retires or when they don't
31:29
Speaker 15: resign him. You know what I like to see, you know,
31:33
Speaker 15: playing forty percent of snaps. Absolutely, but I think he's
31:37
Speaker 15: going to grow in that position. I think we're going
31:38
Speaker 15: to be really glad we got him a year or
31:40
Speaker 15: two down the road. Yeah, that being said, you know, we.
31:43
Speaker 12: Were talking about earlier you have about which player or
31:46
Speaker 12: positioned to trade, and I think running back is because
31:50
Speaker 12: we basically already traded. We swapped what we traded Joseph
31:53
Speaker 12: for that number one cornerback. I can't pronounce his name
31:57
Speaker 12: from Miami, But what is the team feel about him?
32:01
Speaker 4: Is he?
32:02
Speaker 12: I mean he's the first round talent. Did we have
32:04
Speaker 12: him rated that high?
32:05
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know that. I don't know where they
32:08
Speaker 2: had him rated. You know, obviously probably pretty high because
32:13
Speaker 2: you know, he hasn't done anything in Miami and they
32:16
Speaker 2: traded for him. Now, you know, Kelvin Joseph was probably
32:20
Speaker 2: gonna get released, so you know what you can get
32:23
Speaker 2: for him? Yeah, I mean, let's let's try. Let's let's
32:26
Speaker 2: try to get you know, Igbanogaty is who you're talking about.
32:29
Speaker 2: Try to get him in here and see if you know,
32:31
Speaker 2: maybe he can he can develop a little bit and
32:35
Speaker 2: you know, maybe working with guys like you know, Trayvon
32:38
Speaker 2: Diggs was was the plan with, and also Stefan Gilmore
32:41
Speaker 2: and you know, and Al Harris. I mean Al Harris
32:44
Speaker 2: played the position, uh you know, for the for the
32:47
Speaker 2: Packers for many many years and now he's the coach.
32:49
Speaker 2: And sometimes players just need a little bit of a
32:52
Speaker 2: of a of a change, a change in scenery, a change,
32:54
Speaker 2: and the voices around them, maybe the perspective of a
32:58
Speaker 2: player that that's played. Not to say that you have
33:00
Speaker 2: to be playing in the NFL to be a coach.
33:02
Speaker 2: There's some great ones that never stepped foot on a field.
33:05
Speaker 2: But but sometimes, you know, you can relate differently to
33:09
Speaker 2: a coach that's actually done it. You can YouTube his
33:11
Speaker 2: highlights and see what he's done, and so when he's
33:14
Speaker 2: telling you things that he thinks you should do, it
33:16
Speaker 2: might register a little different. So that's kind of the plan.
33:20
Speaker 2: They're not, they're not, you know, giving up on him.
33:22
Speaker 2: I mean, he he's been he's behind the eight ball.
33:25
Speaker 2: Same with Mazzy, like you mentioned in the first part
33:27
Speaker 2: of the call. You know, Mazzi got drafted and now
33:30
Speaker 2: he's got to come in and be better. Well, you know,
33:32
Speaker 2: let's let's not forget that they drafted two third round
33:36
Speaker 2: picks back to back years, I believe no A Neville
33:39
Speaker 2: Gallimore and osa Odigi Zua. And they've signed, you know,
33:42
Speaker 2: signed Hankins or traded for Hankins and then resigned him,
33:46
Speaker 2: and and Galimore and and is playing better than than
33:50
Speaker 2: he has in in in the past, and Osa is
33:52
Speaker 2: playing out of his mind. So drafting Mazzie Smith has
33:57
Speaker 2: has kind of lit a fire and some other people
33:59
Speaker 2: as well, which may can get a little tougher for
34:01
Speaker 2: Mazie to get on the field again. I'm not making excuses.
34:03
Speaker 2: He's the first round pick. You you think he'd be
34:05
Speaker 2: playing a little bit more than he is. But there's
34:07
Speaker 2: some circumstances here, uh as well. And and he's having
34:11
Speaker 2: a hard time, you know, beating out the guys that
34:13
Speaker 2: were ahead of them, that are playing pretty well. All right,
34:17
Speaker 2: let's go with Nigel in Arizona.
34:20
Speaker 8: Nigel, Yes, sir, how you doing very well in yourself?
34:25
Speaker 2: I'm good. What's up? Man?
34:28
Speaker 8: Not as much is this?
34:29
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, we're you're on, You're on the air.
34:32
Speaker 3: Let's go nice all right, coach, I'm on it.
34:35
Speaker 1: I'm on it.
34:36
Speaker 3: A couple of a couple of things that you know,
34:40
Speaker 3: it seems that we get some kind of continenty in
34:42
Speaker 3: training training camp is what it is. You know, no hitting,
34:47
Speaker 3: et cetera. But you know, give me I love Michael
34:50
Speaker 3: Gallop great, but you know, obviously we all know there's
34:55
Speaker 3: some issues going on there, So withn't a time like
34:57
Speaker 3: other teams to pull some of these guys off off
35:00
Speaker 3: the show, like the two Jalens and just see what
35:03
Speaker 3: they give us as well as I think Turfin should
35:07
Speaker 3: be in there at least one down every four stretch
35:10
Speaker 3: that field, if you're going on a pass, were on
35:12
Speaker 3: pass play, et cetera. It just seems like, you know,
35:17
Speaker 3: we need a spark somewhere. Same thing with Deuce. I
35:20
Speaker 3: know the last game he played, he couldn't cover, he
35:23
Speaker 3: couldn't block, But you know they've pinned their ears back
35:26
Speaker 3: because we were down and you know, kind of left
35:28
Speaker 3: them in a in a no win scenario. But I
35:31
Speaker 3: think him in the backfield with Tony splitting him out,
35:34
Speaker 3: maybe out on screens or get just give him a
35:38
Speaker 3: moment to get open and he and you know that
35:40
Speaker 3: he can do the rest.
35:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, I appreciate you.
35:43
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Ny, Nigel, I appreciate that. Thanks for
35:47
Speaker 2: the call. And you know there's been some talk this
35:49
Speaker 2: week about that, you know here on the show. I
35:52
Speaker 2: can't say that that they're talking about reducing gallops workload.
35:57
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. I don't know if that'll happen.
36:00
Speaker 2: But the good thing is is that receiver you probably
36:03
Speaker 2: can do that better than any other position where you
36:06
Speaker 2: can just you know, there's a lot of different packages.
36:09
Speaker 2: There's there's different sets where you know, if you want
36:12
Speaker 2: to put Turpin and Tolbert on the field a little
36:16
Speaker 2: bit more, you can do that. And and and you know,
36:19
Speaker 2: does gallops reps go down? Yeah, And it seems like
36:23
Speaker 2: it's possible to happen. So you know, I think I
36:26
Speaker 2: think that if that's what they feel, then we can
36:30
Speaker 2: see that happening. I mean, was it just a few
36:32
Speaker 2: years ago. I mean, I remember Noah Brown was the
36:34
Speaker 2: fifth receiver. He was getting some reps. Cedric Wilson was
36:37
Speaker 2: getting reps in there, and you know, and so they
36:41
Speaker 2: they they have ways of getting the more. You know,
36:43
Speaker 2: if they want to see these wide receivers do something,
36:46
Speaker 2: you can do it. And you can do it at
36:47
Speaker 2: the expense of gallops reps. So if they're thinking along
36:51
Speaker 2: your lines, that definitely could happen. I've said it before.
36:56
Speaker 2: I I just I'm not worried about see if you
37:00
Speaker 2: can just forget about right now because it doesn't matter
37:02
Speaker 2: right now. Forget about Michael Gallup's contract, Just forget what
37:06
Speaker 2: it is and then just have him for the role
37:09
Speaker 2: that he has, third receiver, mixing in with Tolbert, that's fine.
37:15
Speaker 2: And if he gets less reps, that's okay. But I
37:19
Speaker 2: think he's got value. I think he can make plays
37:22
Speaker 2: for you. I think that you know, Dak threw him
37:25
Speaker 2: the ball ten times, he caught three. That's not going
37:28
Speaker 2: to work in the future, but he did something to
37:32
Speaker 2: get open for ten times, or you know, I don't
37:34
Speaker 2: know if he was open all the time. But I
37:35
Speaker 2: think that you know, Dak has trust in him. They'll
37:38
Speaker 2: just just not discount him just yet. Okay, this is
37:43
Speaker 2: the way Gallup has been. He'll come up and surprise
37:46
Speaker 2: you when you need him the most. He will make
37:49
Speaker 2: a play for you. And so I firmly believe that
37:52
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't give up on him. All right. Eric
37:54
Speaker 2: in North Carolina is our next caller. Eric, what's up?
37:58
Speaker 5: What's up? What's good brother?
38:00
Speaker 2: How you doing?
38:01
Speaker 5: Man? Good good show today? And why I say my comment,
38:04
Speaker 5: I definitely want to agree with you about Michael Gallup.
38:07
Speaker 5: Just give him time. He had a catastrophic injury, still
38:09
Speaker 5: find his way back, honestly, but he will make a play.
38:13
Speaker 5: He is someone that has extreme rapport with that. So
38:16
Speaker 5: let's keep these guys and have the familiarity with the
38:19
Speaker 5: system and the quarterback as long as possible. So I
38:21
Speaker 5: agree with that whole heartedly. I just want to come
38:24
Speaker 5: in on like all the trade talking everything. You know,
38:28
Speaker 5: I would rather the Cowpitalies not make a deal of
38:30
Speaker 5: the deadline if it's if they got to make a
38:32
Speaker 5: deal that shows us to be desperate, or we have
38:35
Speaker 5: to go our way to make the deal by giving
38:37
Speaker 5: up a first round or giving up a second round
38:39
Speaker 5: for the guy that's not even worth it type deal.
38:41
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. So I, you know, if
38:43
Speaker 5: it makes sense, do it. My lead thing would be
38:47
Speaker 5: probably like my lead trade idea or great scenario would
38:51
Speaker 5: probably be the guy for tendency to running back.
38:54
Speaker 2: You know, let me let me ask you this. Let
38:57
Speaker 2: me ask you this. So when you say that it's
39:00
Speaker 2: got it makes sense, would you rather it make sense
39:04
Speaker 2: right now for week eight of the season and moving
39:07
Speaker 2: on or do you think making sense means could help
39:12
Speaker 2: right now but will also help two to three years
39:15
Speaker 2: down there? What is your definition of making sense?
39:18
Speaker 5: It helps immediately, but it also protects us in the
39:22
Speaker 5: future as well far as losing guys. So yes, it's
39:25
Speaker 5: a short term fix, but also a learned term, long
39:28
Speaker 5: term fix as well. Certain guys. I think it will work,
39:31
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. That's why I lean to
39:33
Speaker 5: the guy Heary Man. You know when when Dak and
39:37
Speaker 5: Tony Poler had a bruising change of pace short yardage back,
39:42
Speaker 5: it helped Tony Pollard and it helped that in my opinion,
39:45
Speaker 5: you know, when we had Ze, it made a better
39:48
Speaker 5: it showed to be a better version of power. And
39:49
Speaker 5: I don't know, I'm not sure if if him carrying
39:52
Speaker 5: a road is too much for him right now. I'm
39:54
Speaker 5: not sure if it is or not on the street.
39:56
Speaker 5: So bringing in a guy like Henry will leaves a
39:59
Speaker 5: lot of pressure for him. We go back to that
40:01
Speaker 5: that that that lighten and thunder type system which helps Toller.
40:05
Speaker 5: In my opinion, you got a downhill, bruising runner like
40:08
Speaker 5: like this guy, it would definitely help that. You have
40:11
Speaker 5: to squeeze more guys in the box. That's gonna create
40:13
Speaker 5: opportunities on the outside with our receivers. I think that
40:17
Speaker 5: would be the most legitimate move to me, outside of
40:19
Speaker 5: the linebacker depth, you know, So that's just my take
40:22
Speaker 5: on that. But don't trade for this guy. If they
40:24
Speaker 5: want to first or they want some outlandish trade terms,
40:28
Speaker 5: don't do it. We'll just sit sit pack because our
40:30
Speaker 5: future is more important than the present in my opinion.
40:33
Speaker 5: But if you can soothe both, make the move. That's
40:36
Speaker 5: my that's my take. Thank you for taking my call.
40:38
Speaker 5: Agad and cowboys polite brothers, all.
40:41
Speaker 2: Right, Thank you, Eric. And the one thing you kind
40:43
Speaker 2: of just said there at the very end, the future
40:45
Speaker 2: is more important than the president. That's interesting. I don't
40:49
Speaker 2: think fans feel that way. I don't think a lot
40:51
Speaker 2: of them do. I mean I think they they they
40:55
Speaker 2: would sit there in April and when the draft rolls
40:58
Speaker 2: around and they're like, why don't we have more pain, like,
41:00
Speaker 2: oh yeah, because we traded for this and okay, like
41:02
Speaker 2: you might get frustrated then, but as for right now,
41:05
Speaker 2: you know, I think they want to go and make
41:07
Speaker 2: a move and so and you even said it yourself,
41:09
Speaker 2: you kind of change, You're like, I want to make
41:11
Speaker 2: a move for the future if it makes sense. But
41:14
Speaker 2: you're talking about trading for a running back who's you know,
41:17
Speaker 2: he's up there in age and you know for a
41:20
Speaker 2: running back, and uh, he's probably not somebody you'll be
41:23
Speaker 2: you know, building around for for a lot of years.
41:26
Speaker 2: So anyways, you know, again, I don't I don't know
41:30
Speaker 2: what the Cowboys are going to do. I don't know
41:32
Speaker 2: if they feel the same way. I know that they've
41:34
Speaker 2: said we like our players, we like our guys. They're
41:37
Speaker 2: always going to say that. They also said running drafting
41:40
Speaker 2: running backs is really not a smart decision in the
41:42
Speaker 2: first round. They said that on the Tuesday before the
41:45
Speaker 2: NFL Draft in twenty sixteen when they took Zeke with
41:48
Speaker 2: the fourth pick. So there's there's a lot of thing
41:50
Speaker 2: when you talk to the media about what you might do.
41:53
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys are business guys. I mean they know.
41:56
Speaker 2: I mean, so you can't just read into a lot
41:58
Speaker 2: of things. Do I think they're going to do so something.
42:00
Speaker 2: I would be surprised if they did not, and I
42:03
Speaker 2: usually am the other way, be surprised if they did.
42:05
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if they don't. I think they're going
42:07
Speaker 2: to do something to add to this team. All right,
42:11
Speaker 2: let's go to Josh. He's in Upstate, New York.
42:14
Speaker 16: Josh, Nick, how you doing good? How are you good man?
42:19
Speaker 16: Listened to you since the early two thousands.
42:20
Speaker 17: I can't.
42:21
Speaker 16: I ply going to talk to you this rules. I
42:22
Speaker 16: got your book. Thank you for all your work you're writing,
42:24
Speaker 16: your analysis over the years.
42:26
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, Josh, appreciate that. What do you got?
42:29
Speaker 16: Yeah, man, I got two questions for you, one kind
42:32
Speaker 16: of a hypothetical. If you could take Romo eight years
42:35
Speaker 16: into his career or Prescott eight years into his career,
42:39
Speaker 16: which one are you taking? And why?
42:40
Speaker 2: Okay, what would you take?
42:46
Speaker 16: It's a pretty easy question for me. It'd be Romo.
42:48
Speaker 16: I always thought that he elevated to play with his
42:50
Speaker 16: receivers around him, whereas I feel like Prescott needs his
42:53
Speaker 16: receivers play and elevate him.
42:55
Speaker 2: Eight years an eight years into their career or eight
42:59
Speaker 2: years into starting quarterback. Because it's a different question question.
43:03
Speaker 16: Yeah, it is a good question. Yeah, yeah, because.
43:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight years into Romo's career is two thousand and
43:10
Speaker 2: what eleven? And uh but he'd only been the shorter
43:14
Speaker 2: for like three or four years. You know, Dak had
43:16
Speaker 2: been taking a lot of hits now for eight years.
43:18
Speaker 2: So it's a tough one. I don't know from.
43:24
Speaker 17: When it started playing Fro when he started playing for
43:26
Speaker 17: the Cowboys. Yeah, yeah, I mean Romo. I mean I
43:31
Speaker 17: think Romo, you know, was was figuring things out a
43:34
Speaker 17: little bit more there. It took him longer to develop.
43:39
Speaker 17: I mean he's an undrafted guy from eastern Illinois, and
43:41
Speaker 17: Parcels you know, saw something in him and and and
43:46
Speaker 17: said you know, and and and they.
43:47
Speaker 2: Liked him right away. I remember Darren Woodson telling the
43:49
Speaker 2: story about how his rookie year, Romo was on the
43:52
Speaker 2: scout team and they he told him, he pulled him
43:55
Speaker 2: aside and said, you're the best quarterback we have on
43:57
Speaker 2: this team. Uh, you give us the most problem of
44:00
Speaker 2: any quarterback that we face in practice. And of course
44:03
Speaker 2: that Quincy and Clint Sterner and Chad Hutchinson. I mean
44:07
Speaker 2: they wasn't talking to myke, you know, pro bowlers either,
44:10
Speaker 2: but but he said that they could see it right away.
44:12
Speaker 2: And so, but it took him a little bit and
44:14
Speaker 2: you could tell later on in his career he really
44:17
Speaker 2: started figuring out angles and things like that. But the
44:20
Speaker 2: injuries kind of caught up to him. So, but this
44:23
Speaker 2: is not a Runo versus Dac debate. I I I
44:26
Speaker 2: love both those guys. I think both of them are
44:28
Speaker 2: good in their own way, and I think their their
44:31
Speaker 2: careers right now as it stands a been pretty similar
44:33
Speaker 2: to what to what they they've done and what they're
44:35
Speaker 2: they're you know, they have tried to do what they
44:37
Speaker 2: haven't been able to accomplish, you know, to get over
44:41
Speaker 2: the top. I mean, I think that where they are
44:44
Speaker 2: ranking NFL quarterback wise has always been about the same
44:48
Speaker 2: they've been in that next wave of of elite guys,
44:52
Speaker 2: and mainly the reason for that is because of lack
44:54
Speaker 2: of postseason success. You know, when you when you don't
44:57
Speaker 2: do that, then that's what you've got to get put
44:59
Speaker 2: in another, you know category, unless they're just Dan Marino,
45:02
Speaker 2: you know, but you know, if you're not you're not
45:05
