- 0:04Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
- 0:07Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:14Speaker 3: This is these Cowboys Storylines.
- 0:17Speaker 4: With Nick Eatman.
- 0:23Speaker 5: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman here and
- 0:27Speaker 5: just me again. We had Nate Newton for a couple
- 0:30Speaker 5: of days. We had the shuffling of the podcast lineups.
- 0:35Speaker 5: The last couple of times we were here Wednesday and Monday,
- 0:40Speaker 5: but now we are kind of back to normal. It's
- 0:42Speaker 5: a day off for the players as we as they
- 0:46Speaker 5: they've had a whole by week and now they they're
- 0:48Speaker 5: back Monday and now they have their regular day off.
- 0:51Speaker 5: Now they get back into schedule again as they get
- 0:54Speaker 5: prepared for the La Rams this Sunday at noon. It's
- 0:58Speaker 5: kind of weird to play a noon game. Haven't had
- 1:00Speaker 5: many of them, uh in a while. But we do
- 1:04Speaker 5: have a noon game at at and T Stadium on
- 1:06Speaker 5: Sunday against the Rams, and that'll be interesting to see
- 1:10Speaker 5: if the Cowboys can get to five and two. All right,
- 1:14Speaker 5: you know how it works, Give us a call eight
- 1:16Speaker 5: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
- 1:18Speaker 4: That's the phone.
- 1:19Speaker 6: Nine.
- 1:19Speaker 5: The text line is eight one seven two nine zero
- 1:22Speaker 5: three two nine eight we'll get some text messages as well,
- 1:29Speaker 5: but I want to hear from you guys, want to
- 1:30Speaker 5: hear what you had to say. I think it was
- 1:32Speaker 5: it was a good couple of days to have Nate
- 1:35Speaker 5: in here. He obviously provides a different perspective than than
- 1:39Speaker 5: I can could ever bring.
- 1:41Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:41Speaker 4: And it's funny how it always goes.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Back to that offensive line, which many people say, it
- 1:47Speaker 5: doesn't matter if you've played in the league at offensive
- 1:49Speaker 5: line or not. That's where it kind of starts. It
- 1:51Speaker 5: starts in the trenches, and with Big Nate, it always
- 1:54Speaker 5: it always doesn't and and rightfully so. I mean when
- 1:57Speaker 5: when you think about when that offensive line is pushing
- 2:00Speaker 5: and creating holes and giving Dak or any quarterback time, Uh,
- 2:04Speaker 5: it can set the tone for the entire the entire game,
- 2:08Speaker 5: even the entire season, because it can kind of bring
- 2:10Speaker 5: the attitude that you want for that offensive line. So
- 2:13Speaker 5: that's where you know, the Cowboys needed to work on
- 2:16Speaker 5: that here, and with their bye week, we'll see if
- 2:19Speaker 5: they can can get things together on that offensive line.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Because I know he's not maybe the same as he
- 2:26Speaker 5: was a few years ago, but Aaron Donald still Aaron Donald,
- 2:29Speaker 5: and I still still a guy to to deal with.
- 2:32Speaker 5: So we'll we'll talk about that, We'll talk about some things,
- 2:36Speaker 5: Jerry Jones said on one O five to three the Fan. Uh,
- 2:40Speaker 5: he basically doesn't sound like he's interested in initiating any
- 2:46Speaker 5: trades the trade deadlines here in the next week or so.
- 2:49Speaker 5: But uh, you know, they're always gonna listen if something opens.
- 2:53Speaker 5: I think that they do feel like they like the
- 2:55Speaker 5: roster as is, but you know, if something materializes. I
- 2:59Speaker 5: believe they said the same thing and then they traded
- 3:01Speaker 5: for Marik Cooper, So it always happens. You're not really
- 3:05Speaker 5: you know, gung ho about getting someone, but you're going
- 3:08Speaker 5: to be paying attention if if, if a guy is
- 3:11Speaker 5: available that can help the team right now and maybe
- 3:13Speaker 5: help the team in the future. All right, let's go
- 3:15Speaker 5: to the Lion. So let's let's get right to it here.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Michael in California, Michael, what's up?
- 3:21Speaker 8: Hey, what's going on?
- 3:22Speaker 9: Nick Day?
- 3:23Speaker 8: Good morning everybody, and shout out to the whole Cowboys Nation.
- 3:27Speaker 8: I'm out here in a beautiful coasting California, But I
- 3:32Speaker 8: just want to get right to Nick Day. I just
- 3:34Speaker 8: want to say I listened to that radio interview this
- 3:37Speaker 8: morning with Jerry doeson and I wasn't a little irritating
- 3:40Speaker 8: with it. I seem that it's a classic case of
- 3:43Speaker 8: the rich he's getting richer. And what I mean today
- 3:47Speaker 8: is all the good teams you that bet are contenders
- 3:50Speaker 8: and all that he's even making any power moves and
- 3:53Speaker 8: acquiring more talent, and it seems like it don't stop.
- 3:56Speaker 9: It's like they.
- 3:57Speaker 8: Require one and they just keep on firing more, you know,
- 4:00Speaker 8: ye see, Jerry Jones, it seems like you know how
- 4:04Speaker 8: I remember Brian brought us all these saying, don't fall
- 4:07Speaker 8: in love with their roster always. You know, it's a
- 4:09Speaker 8: business decision, you know, you guys separate facilities in this
- 4:12Speaker 8: in the business, you know. Yeah, I know Jerry Jones
- 4:16Speaker 8: is a smart man. Obviously he brought he brought us
- 4:18Speaker 8: three titles, you know. But I mean, I'm just getting
- 4:24Speaker 8: really frustrated here.
- 4:25Speaker 4: You know, what would you want to do? I mean, like, like,
- 4:28Speaker 4: what would be a move that you would like to make?
- 4:31Speaker 8: Yes, sir, if you would ask me, there's two moves
- 4:34Speaker 8: that I would like to make. Obviously, our running game
- 4:37Speaker 8: is not is.
- 4:38Speaker 10: Not the business letting out.
- 4:39Speaker 8: So what I would like to see is is uh
- 4:41Speaker 8: that that running back Damon Williams. I think I may
- 4:45Speaker 8: have the first thing wrong, but Williams from Denver, I
- 4:48Speaker 8: would like to go pick him up. And also that
- 4:51Speaker 8: that defensive tecle from Washington who had a whole lot
- 4:54Speaker 8: to stay about losing for seven years, come on over
- 4:57Speaker 8: to Dallas maybe, and let's go to the playoffs and
- 4:59Speaker 8: make it happen. I would say those are two big
- 5:02Speaker 8: moves like this.
- 5:03Speaker 10: Let's see.
- 5:03Speaker 8: I would say what it would cost us two third
- 5:05Speaker 8: round picks to go get that lenning back Williams from Denver,
- 5:08Speaker 8: and hey, maybe a first round pick for the defensive
- 5:11Speaker 8: cycle in Washington. If you ask me, that's not bad.
- 5:14Speaker 8: That's not bad at all. That's doable, you.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Know, all right, Okay, all right, well I like it.
- 5:20Speaker 4: You know you you can say that kind of stuff.
- 5:21Speaker 4: That's why.
- 5:22Speaker 5: That's why I say it all the time. It's a
- 5:24Speaker 5: it's a fans show. You guys can say that kind
- 5:26Speaker 5: of stuff. Uh, probably with guys under contract.
- 5:29Speaker 4: I won't.
- 5:29Speaker 5: I'll kind of shy away from that, but I'll say this,
- 5:34Speaker 5: it's gonna take more to get any play anybody from
- 5:38Speaker 5: Washington than it would if let's say, the Bengals were
- 5:40Speaker 5: calling Washington, it's just gonna take more.
- 5:43Speaker 10: Uh.
- 5:43Speaker 5: They're they're not gonna trade within the division anybody. They're
- 5:47Speaker 5: not gonna trade anybody within the division unless you know
- 5:50Speaker 5: less they're getting absolute top dollar and and and maybe
- 5:53Speaker 5: it's gotta be way more than than what anyone else
- 5:56Speaker 5: is getting. And you know, I don't blame them for that, So, uh,
- 6:00Speaker 5: I don't. I don't see those moose happening. I don't
- 6:02Speaker 5: see the Cowboys going and trading a first round pick
- 6:05Speaker 5: for anybody unless it is somebody that they could sign
- 6:10Speaker 5: a long term and maybe somebody they've had their eyes
- 6:13Speaker 5: on and said, hey, we want this guy, and we
- 6:17Speaker 5: will sign them, you know, for a few years down
- 6:20Speaker 5: the road. But you know, I'm not sure that I'm
- 6:24Speaker 5: with you on on a bigger back. I don't know
- 6:27Speaker 5: if that's the problem, though, I really don't. I think
- 6:30Speaker 5: the problem with the running game is probably the offensive line.
- 6:33Speaker 5: I think Rico Daddell can run the ball well if
- 6:36Speaker 5: you give them the opportunities. I don't think it's necessarily
- 6:40Speaker 5: a running back issue. Not to say that I wouldn't
- 6:44Speaker 5: entertain that if something was open, but and only because
- 6:49Speaker 5: of the fact that you've got Tony Pollard on a
- 6:52Speaker 5: one year franchise deal, and he probably won't, you know.
- 6:55Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not saying he won't be back, but
- 6:58Speaker 4: we'll see, we'll see. It's it's it's off. Is going
- 7:00Speaker 4: to have to be a new contract.
- 7:01Speaker 5: So you've got some situation at running back that that
- 7:04Speaker 5: for the future looks a little cloudy. So if there's
- 7:07Speaker 5: a situation you can get as long as it makes
- 7:10Speaker 5: sense long term. All right, let's go to another call,
- 7:13Speaker 5: Aaron in Youngstown, Ohio.
- 7:15Speaker 4: Aaron, what's going on?
- 7:17Speaker 7: Nick Man?
- 7:18Speaker 11: Listening to every show for ten years and finally was
- 7:21Speaker 11: able to get through. It's great to talk to you.
- 7:24Speaker 11: So yeah, So my question kind of wanted to touch
- 7:27Speaker 11: on the trade deadline coming up, because I mean, obviously
- 7:31Speaker 11: the Eagles make a move and then everybody just loses
- 7:33Speaker 11: their mind, yelling that Jerry saying that he never wants
- 7:36Speaker 11: to do anything, never wants to improve the team. Yet
- 7:38Speaker 11: everyone forgets that they just made two trades in the
- 7:41Speaker 11: offseason that they never do, but since they didn't do
- 7:44Speaker 11: it in the season, it doesn't count as trying to.
- 7:46Speaker 9: Improve your team.
- 7:47Speaker 11: And then everybody also forgets that we did just sign
- 7:51Speaker 11: with Shawn Evans. I mean, he started seventeen games last year,
- 7:54Speaker 11: had one hundred and sixty tackles and two and a
- 7:56Speaker 11: half sacks with the Falcons, And I mean if we
- 7:59Speaker 11: would traded for him, would everybody look at that as
- 8:02Speaker 11: an improvement? But since he was just a claim to
- 8:04Speaker 11: the practice squad, does that just not move the needle?
- 8:07Speaker 11: Even though I mean he's only twenty seven years old,
- 8:09Speaker 11: it's obviously he's going to be able to make some
- 8:11Speaker 11: type of impact. So just never really understood why whenever
- 8:15Speaker 11: the Eagles make a move, everybody always jumps on the
- 8:18Speaker 11: Cowboys acting like they never do anything, whenever they forget
- 8:21Speaker 11: that they've been trading for people the last two years,
- 8:24Speaker 11: that they never do claiming people to the practice squad
- 8:28Speaker 11: of positions of need, But everybody just ignores that aspect.
- 8:31Speaker 11: So I just wanted you to touch on that a
- 8:32Speaker 11: little bit and then had an old timer point for
- 8:35Speaker 11: you of who for this defense right now? Which linebacker
- 8:38Speaker 11: do you think would be a better fit Dexter, coke
- 8:41Speaker 11: Lee or dat Win? And I'll hang up and listen.
- 8:43Speaker 11: Thanks for everything.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Thanks Aaron, I'm gonna put a star by your name.
- 8:48Speaker 4: Great call.
- 8:51Speaker 5: I really appreciate that that perspective, because not every fan
- 8:57Speaker 5: has it. And we just had that actor back calls here.
- 9:01Speaker 5: No offense to the first call, Michael, I get it. Frustrated.
- 9:03Speaker 5: You can be frustrated. I understand that, but it's it's
- 9:07Speaker 5: nice to follow that up with another call, a little
- 9:09Speaker 5: bit of more voice the reason of let's and and
- 9:13Speaker 5: while that first call was going on, I was kind
- 9:15Speaker 5: of thinking that about the trades. I'm glad I didn't
- 9:18Speaker 5: say it because I would have stolen the Aaron's point.
- 9:20Speaker 5: But but yeah, I mean they've made trades in the offseason.
- 9:23Speaker 5: They they did some things. Okay, so they're not doing
- 9:26Speaker 5: it right now, or at least they haven't yet, but
- 9:30Speaker 5: they this team doesn't stand back and and and you
- 9:34Speaker 5: know they don't. They don't do it, not with McCarthy here,
- 9:37Speaker 5: like with with you. Look at what they did last year.
- 9:39Speaker 5: I mean they added a lot of pieces and and
- 9:43Speaker 5: and they continue to do that. I mean this team,
- 9:46Speaker 5: this team has added three former first round picks since
- 9:50Speaker 5: the start of the season. Now, that's that's not exciting
- 9:55Speaker 5: to you. That's that's fine. I mean they're obviously on
- 9:57Speaker 5: the street or available for a reason. But they went
- 10:00Speaker 5: out and they traded for for Trey Lance, for a
- 10:02Speaker 5: guy that they could they could develop and and maybe
- 10:04Speaker 5: down the road.
- 10:05Speaker 4: And and Noah Bogaty, you know.
- 10:09Speaker 5: And said that in a while, so I think that's
- 10:11Speaker 5: I think that's still right, Big Benogaty, who scored your
- 10:15Speaker 5: first touchdown of the season, and he hasn't contributed a
- 10:17Speaker 5: whole lot.
- 10:18Speaker 4: And I get that.
- 10:19Speaker 5: Uh and now Rashaan Evans as well, so you know,
- 10:22Speaker 5: and you go back to last year that they were
- 10:23Speaker 5: doing it as well, when when opportunities kid came up
- 10:27Speaker 5: to to get players you know that that are that
- 10:31Speaker 5: are getting names. And the Eagles got what Kevin Bayern
- 10:35Speaker 5: Is that a name? I mean, like that's a that's
- 10:37Speaker 5: a Pro Bowl safety. It's a guy that you've heard.
- 10:39Speaker 5: And they went and they traded a couple of picks
- 10:41Speaker 5: down the road to to go do that. You know,
- 10:43Speaker 5: the no acclock. The Cowboys don't do that. They they
- 10:45Speaker 5: they've done that as well.
- 10:46Speaker 4: They did it. They've done it this year, done it
- 10:49Speaker 4: last year. They got Anthony Barr, they they got Jason Peters,
- 10:52Speaker 4: they got was it roads from the Savior Roads?
- 10:59Speaker 5: Uh there out of the corner from Minnesota they you know,
- 11:03Speaker 5: so they they get names and and and situations as well.
- 11:07Speaker 5: So it's not like they don't do that for the
- 11:09Speaker 5: linebacker that would help this team. Cokeley or dat Win, Well,
- 11:15Speaker 5: I mean they're both. They're both some some uh pretty
- 11:19Speaker 5: good playmakers. But I like the speed, you know, I
- 11:22Speaker 5: like I like a guy that that can, that can
- 11:24Speaker 5: go and and and you know, go get the football
- 11:26Speaker 5: too as as well, So Dexter Cokeley would be my guy.
- 11:29Speaker 4: I like both of them though. They both were really
- 11:31Speaker 4: good players.
- 11:31Speaker 5: And what I love the most the most about those
- 11:34Speaker 5: two is that when Bill Parcells got here, he looked
- 11:37Speaker 5: at both of them and said, this ain't gonna work.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I'm sorry, it's not what I'm used to.
- 11:41Speaker 5: These two guys are not gonna fit for me, and
- 11:44Speaker 5: Mike Zimmer and the other defensive coaches said, coach, just
- 11:47Speaker 5: hold on a little bit, just wait, just watch them play.
- 11:50Speaker 5: And then by the halfway through the year he loved
- 11:52Speaker 5: both of them, and he was and he was wrong.
- 11:54Speaker 4: He admitted that.
- 11:55Speaker 5: And you know, so it's not always the size of
- 11:57Speaker 5: the of the player or also what you're used to
- 12:00Speaker 5: as well. So I love that, all right, Curtis and
- 12:02Speaker 5: Oklahoma's our next call, Curtis, what's up?
- 12:05Speaker 12: Hey?
- 12:05Speaker 6: Thanks again for having me. I'm excellent, Thank you, How
- 12:09Speaker 6: are you good? Two things I wanted to talk about
- 12:13Speaker 6: is we talk a lot about the Regis zone struggles,
- 12:15Speaker 6: so I wanted to highlight a little red zone success
- 12:19Speaker 6: and that was the past to Brandon Cook's Dak Prescott
- 12:23Speaker 6: does like a fifteen step drop. It throws like a
- 12:25Speaker 6: fade away jumper, and you don't really see that kind
- 12:29Speaker 6: of drop like that very often, so I wanted to
- 12:31Speaker 6: know if you thought that was by design. And then
- 12:34Speaker 6: the other thing that I wanted to say is there's
- 12:36Speaker 6: been some talk about our offensive line struggling a little bit,
- 12:40Speaker 6: and you know, aside from health, I also think if
- 12:43Speaker 6: you look around the evolution of the league the last
- 12:45Speaker 6: I don't know, five to eight years something like that,
- 12:48Speaker 6: I just think there's so many defensive like athletes out there.
- 12:54Speaker 6: You know, Michael Parsons, Bosa, heck, I mean, Khalil Mack
- 12:57Speaker 6: had six sacks, you know, the week before we played
- 13:00Speaker 6: the Chargers, and then you got you know, hybrid guys
- 13:03Speaker 6: like Michael Parsons and things like that. So I just
- 13:06Speaker 6: wanted to point that out when you think about the
- 13:08Speaker 6: line and give them a little more time to deal
- 13:10Speaker 6: with all that.
- 13:11Speaker 5: All right, thanks for the thanks for the call. Yeah,
- 13:16Speaker 5: you're right, there are some there, dynamic defensive players. I
- 13:18Speaker 5: think you could argue that there's always been those type
- 13:21Speaker 5: of guys. I mean, there's you know, there's always generational
- 13:25Speaker 5: players at defense. So I don't know, I don't know
- 13:29Speaker 5: if I'll go with you on on that. I mean, yes,
- 13:32Speaker 5: there there's great players that you have to scheme and
- 13:34Speaker 5: they have to block. I think though, when you when
- 13:38Speaker 5: you put a lot of assets on the offensive line
- 13:40Speaker 5: the way the Cowboys have, and that a lot of
- 13:42Speaker 5: money is on this offensive line, and to not be
- 13:44Speaker 5: able to run the football, I mean, yeah, it's it's
- 13:47Speaker 5: one thing to stop Moosa and mac and or for
- 13:50Speaker 5: someone to stop Micah Parsons. But but you know, you
- 13:52Speaker 5: have to be able to run the football as well.
- 13:54Speaker 5: Move these guys out of the way, get it schemed,
- 13:56Speaker 5: get it blocked. And we haven't seen that with consistency
- 13:59Speaker 5: and the fact that that's kind of the type of
- 14:01Speaker 5: team that this that they built around, so they want
- 14:05Speaker 5: to have that kind of identity. It hasn't happened yet,
- 14:09Speaker 5: and I think That's where kind of the concern is
- 14:12Speaker 5: going back to your red zone question on Dak with
- 14:14Speaker 5: that fifteen step drop fadeaway jumper. If that was the case,
- 14:20Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, Tony Pollard's down there, you know,
- 14:23Speaker 5: setting a pick if you will, really nice block to
- 14:27Speaker 5: not only you know, give him some time, but you
- 14:29Speaker 5: got to remember how that play developed. Cooks was on
- 14:32Speaker 5: the right side, maybe in the slot, but he had
- 14:35Speaker 5: to kind of work his way through all the trash,
- 14:39Speaker 5: get all the way across the field, and that's what
- 14:42Speaker 5: Dak was backing up, back it up and giving him
- 14:44Speaker 5: time to clear out and make that throw. I thought
- 14:46Speaker 5: it was a great throw. I thought it was a
- 14:48Speaker 5: great block by Pollard, and I thought it was a
- 14:50Speaker 5: great job by Cooks. Kind of if you go back
- 14:54Speaker 5: and watch it. Hell, he kind of jumps in the
- 14:57Speaker 5: air and it's sort of a basketball all type of
- 15:00Speaker 5: play as well, because he jumps in the air with
- 15:02Speaker 5: a defender on his back, knowing that he's gonna he's
- 15:06Speaker 5: gonna kind of, you know, basically pin him back here
- 15:09Speaker 5: and then go make the catch. The not allowing the
- 15:12Speaker 5: corner to go get the ball. If he is he's
- 15:15Speaker 5: gonna have to run right through him or go over
- 15:17Speaker 5: his back, which will probably be a penalty. So it
- 15:19Speaker 5: was a really crafty type type catch by Cooks, a
- 15:23Speaker 5: really nice throw and patience by everybody, and a good block.
- 15:27Speaker 5: So you're right, it's a good good time to talk
- 15:29Speaker 5: about that red zone touchdown there. All right, let me
- 15:33Speaker 5: let me get a text question here. This is Dan
- 15:37Speaker 5: from Philly. He says, as the trade deadline approach, I'd
- 15:40Speaker 5: like to see the Cowboys addressed the following position some
- 15:43Speaker 5: running back quality started to take the load, cornerback, boundary corner.
- 15:48Speaker 5: I can compete for the cornerback three spot, his insurance
- 15:51Speaker 5: for Bland and Gilmore and a middle linebacker Layton type.
- 15:55Speaker 5: Your thoughts, I don't know if you're getting all that
- 15:58Speaker 5: in the trade deadline or or any of it.
- 16:01Speaker 4: Really.
- 16:03Speaker 5: I don't believe that they think that they're going to
- 16:05Speaker 5: get a running back to take the load. But I
- 16:10Speaker 5: understand why you're saying that, because I do think Tony
- 16:12Speaker 5: Pollard was is better in the other role than he
- 16:15Speaker 5: is in this one. So I certainly believe that you
- 16:19Speaker 5: know that. I think that that's what they tried to
- 16:20Speaker 5: get Banagay to do, was to be that that that
- 16:23Speaker 5: corner uh for for insurance. Uh and then and then
- 16:27Speaker 5: Diggs got hurt, so uh, but we haven't seen it.
- 16:30Speaker 5: Jordan Lewis has been back, and so far we hadn't
- 16:32Speaker 5: had had to see them play a whole lot. And
- 16:35Speaker 5: they're hoping that Naseean Wright can can factor into that
- 16:38Speaker 5: mix as well. Then the middle linebacker. I mean, they're
- 16:42Speaker 5: gonna get Rashawn Evans. That's probably as close as as
- 16:46Speaker 5: you're going to get there for that. All right, Landing
- 16:48Speaker 5: in New Mexico is our next caller, Landon what's up?
- 16:50Speaker 9: Man?
- 16:51Speaker 11: Hey, how's it going good?
- 16:53Speaker 4: How are you?
- 16:54Speaker 13: I'm doing all right. I've been listening to you since
- 16:56Speaker 13: two thousand and six. You're my favorite out of everybody there. Awesome,
- 17:00Speaker 13: love your stuff man. Else But anyways, I mean about
- 17:07Speaker 13: the trade stuff, I mean, I don't.
- 17:11Speaker 7: I don't really see like.
- 17:12Speaker 13: One glaring weakness on the team other than the offensive line.
- 17:17Speaker 13: And I mean we're not going to be able to
- 17:20Speaker 13: trade for, you know, anything, anything of worse really on
- 17:24Speaker 13: the offensive line, probably anything better than our backups. So
- 17:28Speaker 13: I mean, I don't. I don't know why people think that,
- 17:31Speaker 13: you know, they want to make a splash play the Eagle.
- 17:33Speaker 13: What the Eagles did is completely different in our situation.
- 17:36Speaker 13: They don't really have any weaknesses other than the safety,
- 17:39Speaker 13: and then they trade it for an All Pro. I
- 17:41Speaker 13: mean that, I mean between what the callers said earlier
- 17:46Speaker 13: about about you know, why people are upset about what
- 17:51Speaker 13: the Eagles are doing. I mean, that's an All Pro
- 17:53Speaker 13: player compared to you know, Brandon Cooks and and well,
- 17:59Speaker 13: I mean Gilmore All Pro. But I mean it's been
- 18:01Speaker 13: a while since he's been an All Pro.
- 18:03Speaker 4: And I don't know this. I don't know that. Maybe
- 18:05Speaker 4: you do, is is is Kevin Baird? Is he is
- 18:08Speaker 4: he still at an All Pro level?
- 18:10Speaker 13: And I don't know that either. Really. I mean I
- 18:12Speaker 13: don't know a whole lot about merit other than what's
- 18:14Speaker 13: been talked about today on the shows.
- 18:15Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean I don't know. I don't.
- 18:18Speaker 13: I mean that's just what I mean, That's that's what
- 18:21Speaker 13: the other shows are saying. So, but I mean other
- 18:23Speaker 13: than that, I mean, I don't know that either. But
- 18:24Speaker 13: I'm saying they had one weakness pretty much. I mean,
- 18:27Speaker 13: all their offensive line is great, their offense, they don't
- 18:29Speaker 13: have any weaknesses on their offense and the defense that
- 18:32Speaker 13: you know, their cornerbacks are good and that's pretty much
- 18:35Speaker 13: their only weakness.
- 18:37Speaker 9: I mean, the.
- 18:37Speaker 13: Cowboys have have some areas like maybe people point to
- 18:41Speaker 13: the linebacker. If people point to to cornerback now that
- 18:44Speaker 13: the gigs is down, or they.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Point to.
- 18:47Speaker 13: You know, the old line or running back. I mean,
- 18:50Speaker 13: I don't I think Tallard and Rico can be fine
- 18:54Speaker 13: if the line can block for them. I mean I
- 18:57Speaker 13: agree with that, yeah, I mean I don't know what
- 19:00Speaker 13: else we can trade. I mean if people want to
- 19:02Speaker 13: talk about trades for death in some certain places, then
- 19:05Speaker 13: I mean that's yeah, that's fine. But I mean as
- 19:07Speaker 13: far as like trading a bunch of draft caple way
- 19:11Speaker 13: away for one player that you think is going to
- 19:13Speaker 13: come in and get us to the super Bowl, I
- 19:15Speaker 13: just don't see that right now on this team.
- 19:17Speaker 4: I agree. I agree with that. Thanks for the thanks
- 19:20Speaker 4: for the call, Landon, And you're right. And it's not
- 19:22Speaker 4: easy to accept that because your team is foreign too.
- 19:25Speaker 4: There's teams that have better records and Eagles being one
- 19:28Speaker 4: of them, and so you you want to look back
- 19:31Speaker 4: and go, okay, well, well what are we doing?
- 19:33Speaker 5: Why can't we do that? And knowing that that if
- 19:37Speaker 5: you look at that specific move. Maybe the Titans called
- 19:40Speaker 5: the Cowboys and asked him that, and you wouldn't do
- 19:42Speaker 5: you wouldn't do that move. You you've already done that.
- 19:45Speaker 5: You've already signed a veteran safety and two of them
- 19:50Speaker 5: actually in the last uh eight months. I mean, you've
- 19:53Speaker 5: signed Donovan Wilson, who's younger, and you've also signed Malie Hooker,
- 19:59Speaker 5: which I also he was younger. I mean, Chris just
- 20:01Speaker 5: just told me right now, Kevin Baird's thirty years old.
- 20:05Speaker 5: That's not ancient by by. You know, you can still
- 20:08Speaker 5: go make plays. But but but they've done that and
- 20:12Speaker 5: you and so if the if the Titans had called
- 20:14Speaker 5: the Cowboys and said what do you think about this,
- 20:15Speaker 5: you wouldn't have done it. I mean, so that's that's
- 20:18Speaker 5: the issue. Now maybe they maybe maybe they said that
- 20:21Speaker 5: you got anybody else, got any other positions, But but
- 20:24Speaker 5: they they don't want to just give up draft capital
- 20:27Speaker 5: just to do it.
- 20:27Speaker 4: They've already done it, you know.
- 20:29Speaker 5: They they've they've lost a fourth round pick to go
- 20:31Speaker 5: get a quarterback in development, so he's not helping you
- 20:35Speaker 5: this year. But but they they look at this further
- 20:38Speaker 5: than than than just.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Down the road. A little bit all right?
- 20:41Speaker 8: Uh?
- 20:42Speaker 4: Steve in Newport, Washington, Steve.
- 20:46Speaker 9: Hello, Hello, how are you doing?
- 20:47Speaker 4: Hi Steve, how are you good?
- 20:49Speaker 9: Good?
- 20:50Speaker 14: Long time list, first time caller.
- 20:52Speaker 4: Awesome, Thank you appreciate the call.
- 20:54Speaker 14: Love your show.
- 20:55Speaker 4: Appreciate.
- 20:56Speaker 14: I got a uh two questions totally unrelated to each other.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Cool.
- 21:01Speaker 14: First one is our draft class this year? Do you
- 21:06Speaker 14: see any contributions this year going forward from him? What
- 21:10Speaker 14: happened to Donzie Smith? And can any of the other
- 21:14Speaker 14: draft picks if we could see any contribution from him?
- 21:17Speaker 6: Uh?
- 21:18Speaker 4: Yeah, that's.
- 21:21Speaker 5: That just reminded me. I think that was a mailbag
- 21:23Speaker 5: question today that I haven't answered on that. On that specifically,
- 21:29Speaker 5: I don't know if you had another I had another call.
- 21:31Speaker 5: You're still there, Steve?
- 21:32Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 21:32Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 21:33Speaker 4: What was your second question?
- 21:34Speaker 14: The second question is why no number zero on our team?
- 21:40Speaker 9: Uh?
- 21:41Speaker 4: There will be, There will be. That's funny.
- 21:43Speaker 5: You asked that, I think there is going to be
- 21:46Speaker 5: a number zero and jay Ron Curse wanted it.
- 21:49Speaker 4: He didn't get it.
- 21:51Speaker 5: You might see another player get it next year, So
- 21:56Speaker 5: you will you'll see a number zero. But it's not
- 22:00Speaker 5: it's not right now, not this year, but I think
- 22:02Speaker 5: you will see it next year, and it probably will
- 22:05Speaker 5: be a really, really really good player. So that's that's
- 22:09Speaker 5: my guess. A really really good players might move to
- 22:13Speaker 5: the number zero if he can afford it. All right,
- 22:17Speaker 5: for your first question, though, I'm looking at the draft
- 22:19Speaker 5: class again and just wanted to remind myself about it. Yeah,
- 22:24Speaker 5: this is this is not good for six for six
- 22:28Speaker 5: games into the season. I mean, there's there's nobody that
- 22:33Speaker 5: is that is producing.
- 22:36Speaker 4: At all at all.
- 22:38Speaker 5: I mean, like that's you want to you want to
- 22:40Speaker 5: have a little silver lining here, like well, awesome Richards
- 22:44Speaker 5: and no, I mean like like he now he's he's
- 22:48Speaker 5: a fifth round pick, and he's he's you know, insurance
- 22:51Speaker 5: on the offensive line, sometimes active, sometimes not. Uh, if
- 22:55Speaker 5: you just go down the list, though, Mazzie Smith has
- 22:56Speaker 5: been active, but he's not really doing a whole lot.
- 22:59Speaker 5: And and and the unfortunate thing for me is that
- 23:02Speaker 5: there are times in the game. There was a fourth
- 23:04Speaker 5: down with the Chargers just the other day, balls on
- 23:06Speaker 5: the two yard line, fourth down, they could stop this
- 23:09Speaker 5: game and probably win it, and they and he's not
- 23:12Speaker 5: in the game. And I would think that's the moment
- 23:14Speaker 5: that you would be there, even if you're still learning
- 23:16Speaker 5: I would I would think you could play on the
- 23:18Speaker 5: on the on the goal line, defense and and and
- 23:21Speaker 5: have your strength show up and be a factor. So
- 23:24Speaker 5: that's a little concerning. Schoonmaker has had some injuries, your
- 23:27Speaker 5: second round pick. He's playing some he he'll get out
- 23:31Speaker 5: there now with hindershot banged up. I mean, Schoonmaker is
- 23:35Speaker 5: continuing to play and get better. His hands haven't been
- 23:39Speaker 5: as good as I thought, you know, they would be overshown.
- 23:44Speaker 5: That's just a bad luck. You know, he was going
- 23:46Speaker 5: to be a playmaker. I think on this defense, uh
- 23:49Speaker 5: Fojoko has not done anything. He's really inactive every game.
- 23:52Speaker 5: Austin Richards, like I said, Eric Scott's inactive, Deuce Fawns
- 23:55Speaker 5: now not really a factor at all. Jalen Brooks has
- 23:59Speaker 5: been active a little bit, but not not really doing
- 24:02Speaker 5: a whole lot. So yeah, that's it's just done unfortunate.
- 24:05Speaker 5: And you look back to the year before where a
- 24:07Speaker 5: lot of these guys were playing and playing early. Tyler
- 24:10Speaker 5: Smith was phenomenal, you know, Sam Williams played a lot,
- 24:13Speaker 5: Jake ferguson uh and then of course they're on Bland,
- 24:16Speaker 5: which is one of your best picks in a long time.
- 24:18Speaker 4: So it's early. It's early. I've seen it go the
- 24:22Speaker 4: other way too.
- 24:22Speaker 5: I've seen draft classes that you think, oh, this will
- 24:24Speaker 5: be the best of all time, this will be a
- 24:25Speaker 5: nineteen sixty four type of draft, and it doesn't turn
- 24:28Speaker 5: out that way. So you got to give it time
- 24:30Speaker 5: a little bit. But but six games into the season
- 24:33Speaker 5: to have none of your draft picks really do anything
- 24:36Speaker 5: is a concern. And and and they're going to say
- 24:39Speaker 5: that it's not, but you know that they're disappointed that
- 24:42Speaker 5: nobody's been able to really do a whole lot. All right,
- 24:44Speaker 5: let's uh, let's go to a break real quick. The
- 24:47Speaker 5: phone lines are open eight eight eight eight five five

- 27:00Speaker 1: Cowboys storylines?
- 27:04Speaker 10: All?
- 27:04Speaker 7: Right?
- 27:04Speaker 5: Back for Cowboys storyline here. Got about twenty more minutes
- 27:08Speaker 5: or so. We got some calls on the line, got
- 27:11Speaker 5: some text questions as well. We're gonna hit the phone
- 27:14Speaker 5: line here Eric in southern California.
- 27:17Speaker 4: I've been holding a little bit.
- 27:18Speaker 9: Eric.
- 27:19Speaker 4: What's up man?
- 27:20Speaker 9: Hey?
- 27:20Speaker 2: Nick?
- 27:20Speaker 12: How you doing that?
- 27:21Speaker 4: I'm good?
- 27:21Speaker 9: How are you great?
- 27:23Speaker 2: Great?
- 27:23Speaker 12: So I had a question for for you regarding like
- 27:26Speaker 12: our offensive line. I know a lot of people will
- 27:29Speaker 12: say like, that's, uh, you know a spot that the
- 27:32Speaker 12: Cowboys need help with, and I get it, like the
- 27:35Speaker 12: run game and all that, But when I look at
- 27:37Speaker 12: our offensive line, like everyone that's in our line.
- 27:41Speaker 9: Would be a starter or would be coveted.
- 27:44Speaker 12: By other teams and which they had, So what needs
- 27:47Speaker 12: to click for them to be producing the way that
- 27:50Speaker 12: you know they used to or.
- 27:52Speaker 4: You know, yeah, that's a good point. You have another question.
- 27:55Speaker 9: No, that was good.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Okay, good question, Eric.
- 27:58Speaker 5: You know and and H and Nate was on yesterday
- 28:02Speaker 5: and uh and last week and uh, he would he
- 28:05Speaker 5: would speak to this what you know, it's really about
- 28:08Speaker 5: the continuity, because you're right about that when you look
- 28:10Speaker 5: at the offensive line, you don't look at a spot
- 28:14Speaker 5: and say, uh, we'll get better there. I'm going to
- 28:17Speaker 5: trade for something better than Steele.
- 28:21Speaker 4: No, you just signed him.
- 28:22Speaker 5: He's your right tackle. You're not going to get anyone
- 28:24Speaker 5: better than Zach Martin. You're not going to get anyone
- 28:27Speaker 5: better than than be Ottish and Tyler Smith and then
- 28:31Speaker 5: Tyron Smith. And I'm not saying you couldn't go acquire
- 28:35Speaker 5: someone that's better than them, but just look at what
- 28:38Speaker 5: what you're paying them, the dynamic of everything. You're not
- 28:41Speaker 5: going to do that, You're not this is your line
- 28:44Speaker 5: these guys and and if you go and get another player,
- 28:48Speaker 5: it's probably not going to be better than what you
- 28:50Speaker 5: already have in in an awesome Richards and and uh
- 28:54Speaker 5: Idoga and TJ Bass and and and those guys are
- 28:59Speaker 5: like that, you know. So I just think they've got
- 29:02Speaker 5: to play together. They've gotta they've got to be a
- 29:04Speaker 5: little bit more cohesive and and you know, use this
- 29:07Speaker 5: time off, get healthy and keep playing as a unit.
- 29:11Speaker 5: It'll it'll click. I mean, this is a first year
- 29:13Speaker 5: offensive line coach with the team. Not he's been around
- 29:17Speaker 5: for several years, Mike Celari, but this is a you know,
- 29:19Speaker 5: first year with this team. They're still working on things.
- 29:22Speaker 5: There's still they've been in and out of the lineup
- 29:23Speaker 5: a training camp. Not giving excuses, I'm just saying it's
- 29:26Speaker 5: got to get better with these guys. That's what it
- 29:28Speaker 5: has to be. You're not gonna go get outside talent.
- 29:31Speaker 5: They've got to work together and figure out how to
- 29:33Speaker 5: make this thing click. Because if they can, I think
- 29:36Speaker 5: the running game will be better. And if if that's
- 29:38Speaker 5: the case, then that opens up everything else. Uh So,
- 29:41Speaker 5: I I think they'll they'll be fine. But you're right
- 29:44Speaker 5: with offensive line that this is kind of what it is.
- 29:47Speaker 5: You could probably go get a little you know, quality
- 29:51Speaker 5: depth if that's what you want. Maybe a better tackle
- 29:55Speaker 5: if you think, you know, Tyron could could have another
- 29:58Speaker 5: injury or something like that. I could see doing that.
- 30:00Speaker 5: But for the most part, from your starting five, I mean,
- 30:03Speaker 5: this is kind of this is what it's supposed to be.
- 30:06Speaker 5: All right, let's go to the text line here. This
- 30:09Speaker 5: is from our RDJ. He says, good point on caller
- 30:13Speaker 5: number two, which was Aaron in Youngstown, Ohio. He was
- 30:18Speaker 5: talking about everybody, you know, just don't forget that they
- 30:22Speaker 5: have made a lot of moves before. But the text
- 30:25Speaker 5: question says, good point, caller number two, please stop speaking
- 30:29Speaker 5: for everyone when you speak on the phone. I respect
- 30:32Speaker 5: your thoughts, but you really don't know what everybody's thinking
- 30:35Speaker 5: about the Dallas Cowboys.
- 30:37Speaker 4: True, and neither do you. I mean, let's be fair.
- 30:42Speaker 4: I mean you don't either. So that's that's kind of
- 30:45Speaker 4: what you do.
- 30:45Speaker 5: You get on the phone and you make a point
- 30:47Speaker 5: and you point out things which I think are true.
- 30:51Speaker 5: I mean, I think it is. It is something to
- 30:53Speaker 5: point out that, you know, just because you didn't make
- 30:55Speaker 5: the move yesterday doesn't mean you haven't made moves. And
- 30:58Speaker 5: that's kind of what this fan base is has become.
- 31:00Speaker 5: What have you done for me this morning? That's really
- 31:03Speaker 5: what it comes down to. I mean, And so you know,
- 31:06Speaker 5: just I think I think it was a good call
- 31:08Speaker 5: to point out that they have made some moves. This
- 31:11Speaker 5: is their type of move. It didn't fit for them
- 31:13Speaker 5: right now, but they do make moves like this, so
- 31:16Speaker 5: don't don't be so shortsighted. And so but but I
- 31:21Speaker 5: don't agree with that, you know, I don't think anyone's
- 31:23Speaker 5: speaking for everyone.
- 31:24Speaker 4: You don't.
- 31:24Speaker 5: You don't you You're just throwing out some points. And
- 31:27Speaker 5: and that's that's kind of what we do. And and
- 31:30Speaker 5: and his point wasn't wrong, and neither is you is yours.
- 31:34Speaker 5: It's just that we're all, you know, We're all trying
- 31:36Speaker 5: to do this together. And that's what this show is about.
- 31:39Speaker 5: It is to to throw out your stuff. So I
- 31:41Speaker 5: don't think anyone speaking for everyone, and I don't think
- 31:44Speaker 5: he was, and and you know, no one really knows
- 31:48Speaker 5: what everybody's thinking. I mean, except for the fact that
- 31:50Speaker 5: everybody wants to go and wants to win the Super Bowl.
- 31:52Speaker 5: I mean, that's what that's what they want, and you know,
- 31:55Speaker 5: and that's that's what you Cowboy fans. Doesn't matter where
- 31:59Speaker 5: you live. If you live in Virginia, you live in California,
- 32:03Speaker 5: New Jersey, I mean, you want the Cowboys to win.
- 32:06Speaker 5: If you live right here in Dallas, Texas and Arlington,
- 32:08Speaker 5: you even you want to win even more, you know,
- 32:11Speaker 5: I mean, especially when you see success that's happening right
- 32:13Speaker 5: around them. I think everybody's excited here about the Texas
- 32:17Speaker 5: Rangers that are now going to the World Series for
- 32:20Speaker 5: the first time in twelve years.
- 32:21Speaker 4: It's pretty awesome. I was really really excited about it.
- 32:25Speaker 4: But I also know that I haven't looked yet, but
- 32:28Speaker 4: I will.
- 32:28Speaker 5: Guarantee you I've got somebody on Twitter saying, well, lest
- 32:32Speaker 5: somebody from Arlington can win a championship.
- 32:34Speaker 4: I get it.
- 32:35Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's what's going to happen. Good for
- 32:37Speaker 5: the Rangers, good for that. That'll be exciting news, but
- 32:40Speaker 5: it only makes everybody a little bit more hungrier for
- 32:43Speaker 5: this cowboy team to go win.
- 32:44Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the phones. All Rob in
- 32:47Speaker 4: New Jersey? Rob, what's up?
- 32:50Speaker 9: Hey?
- 32:51Speaker 10: How you doing?
- 32:51Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you?
- 32:53Speaker 10: I'm all right? A long long time listening, A long
- 32:56Speaker 10: time fan a few years, especially back in the days
- 32:59Speaker 10: when it's just you and Nick, You and I, Derek.
- 33:03Speaker 4: Me and Derek. That's right, Yeah, that's way back.
- 33:08Speaker 10: Well, my question is this, I want you answer my
- 33:12Speaker 10: question as far as the whole line everybody. You got
- 33:14Speaker 10: it pinned down from the previous caller. You you answered it,
- 33:18Speaker 10: and I'm Matthew for that. My second question is this,
- 33:21Speaker 10: what is your evaluation of Gilmore after six games? What
- 33:26Speaker 10: do you really think about him? I mean, I have
- 33:28Speaker 10: my thoughts, but I'm just curious as to where you
- 33:31Speaker 10: think he is. I mean, we got him here, we're
- 33:34Speaker 10: hoping that things work out for the next eleven games,
- 33:37Speaker 10: but what is your thoughts on Did you just say Gilmore?
- 33:40Speaker 4: Is that what you said?
- 33:42Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 33:42Speaker 4: Cornerback, So final Gilmore. Okay, just make sure I heard
- 33:44Speaker 4: that right before you. We'll let you go. Thank you
- 33:47Speaker 4: for the call. Rob. I think that Gilmore is a
- 33:50Speaker 4: really good number two cornerback. That's what I think.
- 33:53Speaker 5: That's exactly what they traded for him to be. He's
- 33:56Speaker 5: a guy that's made plays, not afraid of the moment.
- 34:00Speaker 5: He's you know, he's he's on the back nine of
- 34:03Speaker 5: his career.
- 34:04Speaker 11: I think.
- 34:06Speaker 5: I don't think he's on the eighteenth hole, but I
- 34:08Speaker 5: do think he's, you know, he's he's had a great
- 34:10Speaker 5: career and he's still a really good player, serviceable player.
- 34:13Speaker 5: The Cowboys went and that was their move, that was
- 34:16Speaker 5: their Kevin Bayer type move. They just did it earlier
- 34:19Speaker 5: on fifth round pick, I believe, traded for the Colts
- 34:21Speaker 5: and got him to pair him up with Trayvon Diggs. Now,
- 34:25Speaker 5: Trayvon Diggs is out for the season and he's gotta
- 34:29Speaker 5: be the guy, and and and Deron Bland as well,
- 34:32Speaker 5: but both of them, and you know, if he was
- 34:36Speaker 5: still at that high level, you're not getting him for
- 34:39Speaker 5: a fifth round pick. And I don't think the Colts
- 34:41Speaker 5: are letting him go, so you you know, it's unfortunate.
- 34:45Speaker 5: It's just he is probably playing exactly like you would
- 34:49Speaker 5: want him to play for this, for the role that
- 34:52Speaker 5: they had him playing. But now as the number one guy,
- 34:57Speaker 5: you know, I mean, he's gonna he's gonna miss some.
- 35:00Speaker 5: I mean, you know, Keenan Allen is really good and
- 35:03Speaker 5: so is uh that beast in Philly. They're a J
- 35:07Speaker 5: Brown and then and then you've got, you know, a
- 35:09Speaker 5: Heisman Trophy winner, first round pick on the other side.
- 35:13Speaker 5: That's the problem with with what what they're about to face,
- 35:18Speaker 5: and and you have to match playmakers. And when they
- 35:20Speaker 5: had when they faced the team that had a lot
- 35:22Speaker 5: of them, like the forty nine ers.
- 35:24Speaker 4: It was ugly. It was I mean, they just have
- 35:27Speaker 4: no answer for it.
- 35:28Speaker 5: So we'll see what happens when when you know you
- 35:32Speaker 5: face a team that that has a lot more you know,
- 35:34Speaker 5: the Chargers had some, but not not a ton, especially
- 35:37Speaker 5: on the perimeter. So Gilmore, I think he's playing well.
- 35:41Speaker 5: They needed him to play even better and that's probably
- 35:44Speaker 5: not what he's capable of doing. He's capable of playing
- 35:46Speaker 5: what he did. But but you know what, give him credit.
- 35:47Speaker 5: He goes and makes an interception though to close out
- 35:50Speaker 5: the game, So it's not it's not bad at all.
- 35:53Speaker 5: It's it's it's good. It's just that, you know, he
- 35:57Speaker 5: was supposed to be the number two corner and he's
- 35:59Speaker 5: and he's not all right, Michael in Bullying Green Kentucky,
- 36:02Speaker 5: You're next, I'm good.
- 36:04Speaker 4: How are you pretty good?
- 36:06Speaker 2: A Player's Lounge and Hanging the Boys? Is that two
- 36:10Speaker 2: shows I used to want not want to miss, but
- 36:13Speaker 2: now this is the one I don't want to miss.
- 36:16Speaker 2: I look forward to storyline.
- 36:17Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
- 36:18Speaker 5: And I and I'll tell you this, I look forward
- 36:20Speaker 5: to doing it. I mean, I really do not to
- 36:22Speaker 5: be cheesy, corny or whatever, but I enjoy it. I
- 36:25Speaker 5: enjoy talking to you guys. I enjoy it, you know,
- 36:27Speaker 5: getting your perspective. Uh, and it really helps me. It
- 36:30Speaker 5: helps me kind of understand what what what the what
- 36:33Speaker 5: the fan base is thinking. And they don't speak for everyone,
- 36:36Speaker 5: but when you when you listen to a lot of
- 36:38Speaker 5: calls like this, you kind of get a good idea
- 36:41Speaker 5: of what the fans are thinking.
- 36:42Speaker 4: So and it helps me. It helps put out articles
- 36:45Speaker 4: on our website too.
- 36:46Speaker 2: So I think it helps the fans too to get
- 36:49Speaker 2: better perspective. I've got two questions.
- 36:52Speaker 7: Go for it.
- 36:53Speaker 2: The first one is if Dat Prescott had eight interceptions
- 36:59Speaker 2: right now and at least one fumble wall, what would
- 37:04Speaker 2: they be doing to him? I mean, everybody, you know,
- 37:07Speaker 2: the fans.
- 37:09Speaker 4: Whose stat line? Whose that line? Did you just read?
- 37:12Speaker 2: That's Hurts?
- 37:13Speaker 4: Okay, okay, got it? He's got eight interceptions?
- 37:17Speaker 2: Yeah, eight interceptions. He got three in one game, putting
- 37:21Speaker 2: to seven and then against the h one.
- 37:26Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 37:27Speaker 5: Yeah, well if you know, eight interceptions, that's that's higher that.
- 37:35Speaker 5: You know, what would they be doing?
- 37:38Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 37:38Speaker 5: They would, they would, you know, certainly they would be
- 37:41Speaker 5: pointing that out. I mean I would know that. I
- 37:45Speaker 5: don't really I didn't know that about Hurts, but I
- 37:47Speaker 5: would definitely know that, you know what I mean if
- 37:48Speaker 5: it was Dak and the people in Philly and whoever
- 37:51Speaker 5: would definitely know that Dak has eight interceptions, because that's
- 37:54Speaker 5: it would be publicized. But I mean, how many rushing touchdowns?
- 37:58Speaker 9: You know?
- 37:59Speaker 4: How many first downs does he get there?
- 38:01Speaker 7: You know?
- 38:02Speaker 5: I mean he he makes some plays too, and his
- 38:04Speaker 5: team's five and one, and they're really good.
- 38:06Speaker 4: I mean, they're good.
- 38:08Speaker 5: He's a good player, and so you know, I didn't
- 38:11Speaker 5: think it was that many, honestly, but you know, it
- 38:15Speaker 5: that that's that's what happens.
- 38:16Speaker 4: That's what happened. Do you have another question?
- 38:18Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 38:18Speaker 2: The other is the forty nine ers of lost two straight,
- 38:22Speaker 2: the Eagles loss, you know, last week, and they both
- 38:26Speaker 2: have really difficult schedules in the next two months. I
- 38:31Speaker 2: believe the Cowboys can catch and pass Bosom.
- 38:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:35Speaker 2: What do you think?
- 38:35Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 38:36Speaker 5: I think thanks for the call, Michael. And what I
- 38:39Speaker 5: think is that this bye week in the last you know,
- 38:42Speaker 5: two weeks, really has let everybody kind of know that,
- 38:47Speaker 5: you know, nobody's running away with anything, nobody just.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Two weeks, you know, two weeks.
- 38:55Speaker 5: I mean, think about what you thought about Buffalo all right, Nah,
- 39:00Speaker 5: they've lost it a little bit here Detroit, Oh, Detroit
- 39:03Speaker 5: there now Lamar Jackson owned them, you know, forty nine ers,
- 39:09Speaker 5: same thing, Cowboys week, you know, a couple of weeks before,
- 39:13Speaker 5: you know, I mean, what you thought about the Cowboys.
- 39:15Speaker 5: I mean, everybody's got some really bad losses in there,
- 39:18Speaker 5: or surprising losses, and so it's still early.
- 39:22Speaker 4: It's still early.
- 39:22Speaker 10: Four.
- 39:23Speaker 5: I mean a lot of teams are four and two,
- 39:24Speaker 5: five and two, four and three, three and four. I
- 39:27Speaker 5: mean they're all right there. And that's exciting. I mean,
- 39:31Speaker 5: that's there for the taking. So yeah, the Cowboys can
- 39:33Speaker 5: catch people. They but they you know, but Arizona is
- 39:38Speaker 5: Arizona one and five. We know what the one is,
- 39:42Speaker 5: So that right there should let everyone know that. You know,
- 39:46Speaker 5: the Cowboys they haven't beaten anybody really great at all.
- 39:51Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Chargers are decent, you know,
- 39:54Speaker 5: I mean, they're they're gonna be okay, they're in the
- 39:56Speaker 5: middle of the pack. New England what I don't know
- 39:58Speaker 5: what New England is. I mean, I thought they were
- 39:59Speaker 5: prett bad, but of course they won the division game
- 40:02Speaker 5: against Buffalo and the Giants came, you know one, I mean,
- 40:05Speaker 5: but they're not. They don't seem to be very good either.
- 40:07Speaker 5: So the Cowboys really haven't beaten anybody. That's that's good good.
- 40:11Speaker 5: The Jets are decent, you know, could beat the Eagles,
- 40:15Speaker 5: so it's all there. I think the Cowboys have the
- 40:18Speaker 5: ability to beat the best team in the league, whoever
- 40:22Speaker 5: that is. They also seem to be able to lose
- 40:25Speaker 5: to the worst team in the league, whoever that is.
- 40:28Speaker 5: All right, let's go to uh Sebastian and Savannah, Georgia
- 40:31Speaker 5: is our next call. Sebastian.
- 40:33Speaker 9: Yes, theah, good morning, good morning.
- 40:35Speaker 4: If you're doing well, I'm doing good.
- 40:37Speaker 9: Thank you.
- 40:38Speaker 17: You actually said right into my point perfectly.
- 40:40Speaker 9: I have two things.
- 40:41Speaker 17: First things, Micha McCarthy's second thing is front off a
- 40:43Speaker 17: big picture. The Eagles are moving. I'm noticing like they've
- 40:47Speaker 17: been there before. Obviously they've been to the Super Bowl recently,
- 40:49Speaker 17: They're being very aggressive. I would love to see our
- 40:51Speaker 17: front obviously more aggressive towards the trade DeLine or just anything,
- 40:55Speaker 17: just any way to acquire players to add to are
- 40:58Speaker 17: already good defense and offense. And then that leads me
- 41:01Speaker 17: to the Mike McCarthy thing. I'm a very big fan
- 41:03Speaker 17: of Mike McCarthy's. I am, however, very surprised that a
- 41:06Speaker 17: coach with his level of experience has struggled somewhat with
- 41:10Speaker 17: play calling. I would not not just the aspect of
- 41:12Speaker 17: how the players actually execute, but I find that sometimes
- 41:16Speaker 17: his play calling is a little off. And with someone
- 41:18Speaker 17: with so much experience, especially sitting and watching Kellen for
- 41:20Speaker 17: the last three years prior to taking over, I would
- 41:23Speaker 17: expect him to be a little better at the play
- 41:25Speaker 17: calling and the use and utilization of the players that
- 41:27Speaker 17: he has on his team. But it's early in the season.
- 41:30Speaker 17: Like you said, I hang up unletting you have a
- 41:31Speaker 17: great day, all.
- 41:32Speaker 5: Right, thank you, you have a good days as well
- 41:34Speaker 5: as you know. Yeah, he's he's you know, I'm sure
- 41:41Speaker 5: like anything. I mean, you're kind of rusty at doing it.
- 41:43Speaker 5: But and not only that, I mean even if you calling,
- 41:47Speaker 5: even if you've called plays, you know, for years, and
- 41:50Speaker 5: you don't take any break in doing that, you still
- 41:54Speaker 5: got to kind of figure out how to how to
- 41:56Speaker 5: apply it to the team that you have here. You know,
- 41:59Speaker 5: these guys of this offense, this you know what what
- 42:03Speaker 5: what you know this personnel can do. So I still
- 42:06Speaker 5: think that they're adjusting, and he's set it a couple
- 42:09Speaker 5: of times. And this will go back to your first question.
- 42:14Speaker 5: I think about the trade deadline and acquiring players. If
- 42:19Speaker 5: there is a move that the Cowboys make, and I
- 42:23Speaker 5: don't know this that they will, but I could see
- 42:26Speaker 5: it being a running back because I've heard McCarthy say
- 42:29Speaker 5: this on two occasions. Last year they had two number
- 42:33Speaker 5: one running backs. Uh they he considered Pollard at one
- 42:37Speaker 5: and then also Zeke, And they don't have that right now.
- 42:40Speaker 5: They don't have two number one So if you're going
- 42:45Speaker 5: to do anything, I could see maybe, you know, because
- 42:48Speaker 5: that that would be a trade you could make. You
- 42:50Speaker 5: could you could get someone's running back, you know, especially
- 42:54Speaker 5: depending on their you know, contract and and what they've
- 42:58Speaker 5: got left. You could probably get a running back from
- 43:00Speaker 5: someone somebody that has experienced, somebody that's bigger. And you
- 43:04Speaker 5: also don't need to really, you know, you don't really
- 43:08Speaker 5: need a lot of time and learning the system. For
- 43:12Speaker 5: the most part, you know, you can run the ball.
- 43:14Speaker 4: You can get in there.
- 43:14Speaker 5: That's why you see rookies kind of have success early.
- 43:17Speaker 5: They have to understand the blitz pick up and that
- 43:19Speaker 5: scheme and all that, but for the most part, they
- 43:21Speaker 5: could step in. So if there is any move, I
- 43:24Speaker 5: could see that being the case. We've talked about the
- 43:26Speaker 5: first part. You know, I think the Cowboys are more
- 43:29Speaker 5: aggressive then they get. They've been given credit for. They've
- 43:33Speaker 5: made some moves. They didn't make any yesterday or today
- 43:35Speaker 5: so far. But I don't think that they're they're sitting
- 43:38Speaker 5: on their hands by any means. They know that they've
- 43:41Speaker 5: got to do, you know, they've got to do some things.
- 43:45Speaker 5: All right, let's go to I have a text question
- 43:48Speaker 5: here from Wilson in Virginia Beach. What's the deal with
- 43:52Speaker 5: Eric Scott? Is he going to be a next season player?
- 43:54Speaker 5: So much talk of him prior to the season. Yeah,
- 43:58Speaker 5: I mean he played a lot in training camp, got
- 44:00Speaker 5: a lot of snaps there. They didn't give a ton
- 44:02Speaker 5: to Digs. You know, Diggs was out for a little
- 44:04Speaker 5: bit a training camp, and then you know, Gilmore didn't
- 44:09Speaker 5: practice all the time, and you know, I think nay
- 44:13Speaker 5: Sean got injured and so, you know, and Kelvin Joseph
- 44:18Speaker 5: was in practice a whole lot. I mean, Eric Scott
- 44:20Speaker 5: got a lot of reps. He got a lot of reps,
- 44:21Speaker 5: and Jordan Lewis was out the whole time, and he
- 44:23Speaker 5: did a really nice job. But right now he's not
- 44:26Speaker 5: in that mix of he's not better than the guys
- 44:29Speaker 5: that they have. So yeah, he's probably a next next
- 44:33Speaker 5: season type of player. He might have to play some
- 44:35Speaker 5: this year, but yeah, I think so. All right, Bob
- 44:39Speaker 5: and Rio grand Valley is our tenth caller.
- 44:41Speaker 4: Bob, what's up?
- 44:43Speaker 7: How you doing? Nick?
- 44:45Speaker 4: How you doing?
- 44:46Speaker 7: I'm doing great, man, I tell you what. At Congratulations
- 44:49Speaker 7: to the Rangers. They beat my astros, But I still
- 44:52Speaker 7: got a Texas team and going to the World Series
- 44:54Speaker 7: and the Rangers fans certainly deserve it.
- 44:57Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Here a lot classier than I
- 45:00Speaker 4: probably would have been on the other side of it.
- 45:01Speaker 4: I would have been like, no, I don't have a
- 45:03Speaker 4: Texas team. That's my team.
- 45:04Speaker 9: Now.
- 45:05Speaker 5: It's a it's a it's a heated rivalry for sure,
- 45:09Speaker 5: and it was very intense and it was a very
- 45:12Speaker 5: exciting series. To think that all you know, the road
- 45:15Speaker 5: team won every game, that's that's amazing.
- 45:18Speaker 7: To get to the point of my call that I uh,
- 45:23Speaker 7: let's say you had a four star restaurant that you
- 45:26Speaker 7: had gone to for a number of years and you
- 45:28Speaker 7: could detend on getting the same quality of food and
- 45:31Speaker 7: the same dishes that you enjoyed, and all of a sudden,
- 45:33Speaker 7: the owner decides to shake up his kitchen staff and
- 45:37Speaker 7: his cooks are you're going to have the same thing.
- 45:40Speaker 7: That's exactly what has happened to us this year with
- 45:42Speaker 7: our coaching staff, and that's one reason why we've got
- 45:45Speaker 7: this element of confusion that we've got and the lack
- 45:49Speaker 7: of cohesion in this That's my point. I think that
- 45:54Speaker 7: Jerry sometimes outsmarts himself, and I think that the decision
- 45:58Speaker 7: to just really shake up the coaching staff that this
- 46:01Speaker 7: year was one one of his major mistakes. Now that's
- 46:05Speaker 7: all I got today.
- 46:06Speaker 4: Buddy, haven't right you too.
- 46:10Speaker 5: I'm a fan of analogies. Now, I like analogies. I
- 46:15Speaker 5: don't know if I love this one.
- 46:18Speaker 4: Because I don't think it was just all the cooks.
- 46:20Speaker 4: I mean in the kitchen. I don't you know he
- 46:24Speaker 4: added the cooks. It's not what you're saying.
- 46:29Speaker 5: But dan Quinn is still here. I mean, like your
- 46:31Speaker 5: defense is still pretty much intact. You know, he had
- 46:37Speaker 5: to make a decision. They had to make that decision
- 46:40Speaker 5: with Kellen Moore and and and you know, I think
- 46:43Speaker 5: I think Mike McCarthy feels like he's he doesn't have
- 46:47Speaker 5: a lot of time here and so he's going to
- 46:50Speaker 5: do it his way. And he tried with the Kellen
- 46:53Speaker 5: Moore situation. There were some they just didn't agree in
- 46:56Speaker 5: all situations, and so they had to make a change.
- 47:00Speaker 5: And so by making a change, that's what they did.
- 47:03Speaker 5: They added, you know, they they they got rid of him,
- 47:06Speaker 5: and he's calling the play. I mean, I think you
- 47:09Speaker 5: see changes a lot in your coaching staff, But I
- 47:13Speaker 5: don't think it was a huge overhaul. I really don't.
- 47:15Speaker 5: I don't think this is this is that big of
- 47:17Speaker 5: a drastic change. So let me see if I can
- 47:20Speaker 5: get one more caller in before we go. Michael and
- 47:22Speaker 5: Savannah Georgia or Michael, what's up?
- 47:25Speaker 9: I'm calling for the last game that when they planned
- 47:30Speaker 9: to show up.
- 47:34Speaker 4: On ye turn it down.
- 47:37Speaker 9: Yeah, there we go. Yes, they're played calling and the
- 47:42Speaker 9: time that it lapsed in there when they're playing the
- 47:46Speaker 9: Chargers or being in their spirits our head coach, I'm
- 47:52Speaker 9: considering about the mistakes have been taken place at that
- 47:55Speaker 9: area of the game. And I also my second person
- 47:59Speaker 9: is do you think that the Cowboys should go out
- 48:02Speaker 9: and try to get a spirit wide receiver? Open up
- 48:08Speaker 9: the game the official game of Gallop and the other receivers.
- 48:14Speaker 4: Okay, all right, thanks for the call. Let me answer
- 48:17Speaker 4: that part first. I don't think so.
- 48:19Speaker 5: I don't think they will get an experienced receiver. They
- 48:21Speaker 5: they've already done that. This is this is kind of
- 48:24Speaker 5: you know, this is the bed that they've made at receiver.
- 48:27Speaker 5: They they they've got everything that you would want. When
- 48:31Speaker 5: you think about just creating a receiver class, you're like,
- 48:34Speaker 5: all right, I need a star. I need a first
- 48:37Speaker 5: round pick, star type receiver that can line up anywhere.
- 48:40Speaker 4: Okay, cool, you have that. I need a veteran guy.
- 48:42Speaker 5: I need a veteran, crafty, uh, speed guy that that's
- 48:46Speaker 5: been around, that's had success. I got that guy. He's
- 48:49Speaker 5: Brandon Cooks. I need another guy. I need another guy
- 48:52Speaker 5: that can that can you know he can run good routes. Uh,
- 48:55Speaker 5: you know he can go a little deep.
- 48:56Speaker 2: He can.
- 48:56Speaker 4: He's been around. He's you know, Michael Gallup. You want
- 48:59Speaker 4: him to be better, but that's what you have. You
- 49:02Speaker 4: have him.
- 49:02Speaker 5: He's had some success. He's had close to a thousand
- 49:05Speaker 5: yard season. He's I mean, he's a number three receiver
- 49:08Speaker 5: and he's pretty good there. I want a young guy
- 49:11Speaker 5: that could play special teams, that's learning, developing. I got
- 49:14Speaker 5: that guy in Jaalen Tolbert. And I need another guy.
- 49:16Speaker 5: How about a little shifty, smaller guy that can do
- 49:19Speaker 5: reverses and all kinds of weird gadget type things.
- 49:22Speaker 4: Got that guy.
- 49:23Speaker 5: Interpret You have the guys here at receiver. They just
- 49:26Speaker 5: got to get blocked. They got to get on the
- 49:28Speaker 5: same page. But you're not gonna go add anyone else.
- 49:31Speaker 5: As for the mistakes. Yeah, I mean it's concerning. I
- 49:33Speaker 5: mean it's pre snap penalties. McCarthy has said it a lot.
- 49:36Speaker 5: They got to fix the pre snap penalties. Some of
- 49:39Speaker 5: that is on the coaching. It's not just players just
- 49:42Speaker 5: jumping off sides or lining up wrong. They do that,
- 49:44Speaker 5: but sometimes the coaches aren't giving the players, you know,
- 49:48Speaker 5: they're twelve minute on the field. That happened a couple
- 49:50Speaker 5: of times. You start calling too many timeouts in the
- 49:52Speaker 5: third quarter, you're gonna lose games because you can't stop
- 49:55Speaker 5: the clock late in the game. So yeah, it's a problem.
- 49:58Speaker 5: It's a problem with the coaches, it's a problem with
- 50:00Speaker 5: the players. They have to figure that out. All right,
- 50:03Speaker 5: great show, guys, it was good at being back kind
- 50:05Speaker 5: of in the in the in the same format again.
- 50:08Speaker 5: Got eleven calls. That's really good.
- 50:10Speaker 4: Awesome.
- 50:10Speaker 5: On the Tuesday tomorrow we'll get kind of focused a
- 50:13Speaker 5: little bit more on the rams coming in, so it
- 50:15Speaker 5: should be a lot of fun. All right for Chris Beam,
- 50:17Speaker 5: I am Nick Eatman. We will see you tomorrow. On
- 50:19Speaker 5: Cowboys Storyline.
