- 0:03Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:04Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:06Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:32Speaker 1: What is up?
- 0:33Speaker 4: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman. Let's talk
- 0:37Speaker 4: Cowboys and Houston Texans State champs. Let's see if the
- 0:43Speaker 4: Cowboys can defeat Houston one more time. Gotta ways to go.
- 0:47Speaker 4: Monday night football is going to be a long week.
- 0:49Speaker 4: That's what you need after a thirty four to six
- 0:52Speaker 4: loss to the Eagles. Is a long week, not necessarily,
- 0:55Speaker 4: but whatever it takes to get some more injured players returning.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Maybe the Cowboys can get deron Bland this week. I'm
- 1:02Speaker 4: just holding out hope there for that because they certainly
- 1:07Speaker 4: need and when when you look at the cornerback situation,
- 1:10Speaker 4: I think Trayvon Diggs is playing fine. He's playing well
- 1:13Speaker 4: at times, but why would you throw his side when
- 1:16Speaker 4: you could just go to the other side. Kalin Carson
- 1:19Speaker 4: obviously struggled. They put Israel Mkwamou in there. It would
- 1:23Speaker 4: be nice to have digs in Bland actually play together
- 1:26Speaker 4: at the same time, like to see what especially with
- 1:29Speaker 4: Micah rushing the passer and overshown playing like he's playing.
- 1:33Speaker 4: It would be nice to get all your weapons there. Obviously,
- 1:36Speaker 4: Houston's come to town with some good weapons on their
- 1:39Speaker 4: side as well. All Right, eight a A eight five
- 1:41Speaker 4: five two two ninety seven is the number to call.
- 1:44Speaker 4: I want to hear from you, guys. We had some
- 1:46Speaker 4: breaking news on Tuesday. Jerry Jones announced on his radio show,
- 1:50Speaker 4: just kind of at the last second there that oh,
- 1:52Speaker 4: by the way, Dak Prescott's gonna have surgery in New
- 1:55Speaker 4: York on Friday, sorry, on Wednesday, and that will be
- 2:00Speaker 4: season ending surgery. He will be out for the season.
- 2:03Speaker 4: So if there was any doubt about that coming back,
- 2:08Speaker 4: he's will not this year. His season is over, and
- 2:13Speaker 4: that's that's a shame for him. It's a shame that that,
- 2:16Speaker 4: you know, the Cowboys are, you know, not gonna not
- 2:19Speaker 4: going to have their sixty million dollars quarterback for most
- 2:22Speaker 4: of the season. But it's Cooper Rush, it's Tray Lance,
- 2:26Speaker 4: combination of both, we'll see. Jerry said. Also he expects
- 2:29Speaker 4: Cooper to play much better. He thinks he gives him
- 2:31Speaker 4: the best chance to win, but didn't roll out seeing
- 2:35Speaker 4: little more packages there from Trey Lance. All Right, let's
- 2:38Speaker 4: get started here on the calls. Josh in North Carolina
- 2:40Speaker 4: is first.
- 2:43Speaker 5: How are we doing, sir?
- 2:44Speaker 1: How you doing? What's going on?
- 2:46Speaker 5: I'm doing good man, Thanks for asking. So, you know,
- 2:50Speaker 5: being a fan for thirty one years, extremely disheartening to
- 2:56Speaker 5: see this team falter like they've had three years in
- 3:00Speaker 5: a row of twelve and five and then they just
- 3:03Speaker 5: immediately just fall off a cliff. I guess my question
- 3:07Speaker 5: to you is can this team get it together in
- 3:11Speaker 5: twenty twenty five with a good draft class and some
- 3:14Speaker 5: free agents or is this going to be a rebuilding
- 3:19Speaker 5: a couple of years for this team in order to
- 3:21Speaker 5: make another run at the playoffs. Appreciate you, sir, thank you.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 3:26Speaker 4: You know, that's a great question, and it comes down
- 3:30Speaker 4: to the development of your second, third, fourth, fifth, well,
- 3:35Speaker 4: first round two. I mean, it's the development of your
- 3:38Speaker 4: draft picks. How quickly do they How quickly do you
- 3:43Speaker 4: get cheap talent and cheap superstars? If you can get
- 3:49Speaker 4: cheap superstars with it, and I say that with on
- 3:51Speaker 4: their first deal, in their first contract, if you can
- 3:54Speaker 4: develop those type of players to coexist with your star
- 3:59Speaker 4: players that you have, that that's your you know, the
- 4:01Speaker 4: high priced players. That's how you can get a good team.
- 4:05Speaker 4: So it's a great question can they turn it around? Yeah,
- 4:08Speaker 4: I mean we've seen turnarounds in one year because frankly,
- 4:14Speaker 4: and I get, I know that everyone's gonna throw the
- 4:18Speaker 4: Bill Parcells quote like you are, which you are, but
- 4:22Speaker 4: that's not always the case. I mean, yes, that's your record,
- 4:27Speaker 4: but and no one wants to say, well are they
- 4:29Speaker 4: better than that? But like go back to twenty fifteen
- 4:32Speaker 4: season when Romo was out and they had four different quarterbacks.
- 4:36Speaker 4: You know, they weren't as bad as that four and
- 4:39Speaker 4: twelve record, and then that was evident the next year.
- 4:43Speaker 4: I mean, they got Zeke, they got Dak, and now
- 4:47Speaker 4: all of a sudden they're twelve and four, and so
- 4:50Speaker 4: you know, I think this team can have a quick
- 4:53Speaker 4: turnaround because when you look at why the record is
- 4:57Speaker 4: what it is, I think, you know, the injuries, we're
- 5:01Speaker 4: just too much for this team to take. But if
- 5:03Speaker 4: you do get you know, Dak healthy back next year
- 5:06Speaker 4: and and Micah Parsons and Drawn Bland and these guys,
- 5:09Speaker 4: you know, I think you I think you have a
- 5:11Speaker 4: chance to be have better talent. With a high draft
- 5:14Speaker 4: pick or whatever that is so, Yeah, we've seen things
- 5:16Speaker 4: turn around relatively quickly. All right, let's go to the
- 5:21Speaker 4: next caller, Zach and Atlanta.
- 5:25Speaker 6: Nick, How are you doing good?
- 5:26Speaker 1: How are you doing man?
- 5:28Speaker 6: I'm doing well. Man. Uh just tuned in from the
- 5:31Speaker 6: jump and saw or heard the news about Dak having
- 5:35Speaker 6: a season ending surgery. I don't think that's a huge surprise.
- 5:40Speaker 6: You know, he's going to be out for the rest
- 5:42Speaker 6: of the year, but it does make me think about
- 5:44Speaker 6: his contract now and how the Dak that we have
- 5:49Speaker 6: been calling for, the one who runs gets in the
- 5:51Speaker 6: field of the game. I mean, I think his game
- 5:55Speaker 6: is going to have to change, and I think he'll
- 5:58Speaker 6: be running a lot less. Just as he's had the
- 6:01Speaker 6: ankle break a few years ago, calf strain, he's got
- 6:05Speaker 6: this hamstring issue now. I just think fundamentally his game
- 6:09Speaker 6: is gonna shift. And so I think, you know, for
- 6:13Speaker 6: this next contract, the next four or five years, it's
- 6:16Speaker 6: going to be imperative to build the trenches and have
- 6:19Speaker 6: a good running game and good weapons and a creative
- 6:23Speaker 6: offense so that Dak can be as good as he
- 6:26Speaker 6: can be from the pocket. I still think he'll be mobile,
- 6:31Speaker 6: but you know, he's Yeah, the days of running you know,
- 6:36Speaker 6: four or five times a game for forty yards. I
- 6:41Speaker 6: think we'll see a less of that going forward. But
- 6:45Speaker 6: that's just me look to Yeah, what do you.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Think about that.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I think you're right.
- 6:50Speaker 4: I think you're one hundred percent right there, and I
- 6:52Speaker 4: think you do need to focus on the offensive line
- 6:55Speaker 4: with the running game running backs. Also, you know, let's
- 6:58Speaker 4: get some wide receivers in here here that that can
- 7:00Speaker 4: actually make plays on their own as well. You're gonna
- 7:05Speaker 4: call these these quick hitches and bubble screens and all that, these.
- 7:09Speaker 6: Guys that, ain't it.
- 7:10Speaker 4: No, not with these guys, Not with these type of receivers.
- 7:13Speaker 4: These receivers aren't aren't big like that. So now Mingo is,
- 7:18Speaker 4: but he's got to develop into that type of player
- 7:21Speaker 4: as well.
- 7:23Speaker 7: Exactly.
- 7:23Speaker 6: Yeah, So, like you said, get him in the backyard
- 7:28Speaker 6: and develop him, get a good chemistry going. So we'll see.
- 7:32Speaker 6: I mean, we've got the rest of the season to
- 7:34Speaker 6: evaluate the young talent. Should have a good draft haul
- 7:38Speaker 6: next year with you know, cop picks of all the
- 7:41Speaker 6: guys who left the Commanders. But my question for this
- 7:47Speaker 6: week Texans and Cowboys. An old favorite of mine, Brady
- 7:51Speaker 6: James played a season for the Texans and was a
- 7:55Speaker 6: captain for US on the defense. So any stories thoughts
- 7:59Speaker 6: on him? I always liked watching him play, Uh, and
- 8:02Speaker 6: he played good ball.
- 8:03Speaker 2: So have a good one.
- 8:04Speaker 6: Thanks for showing up for a team.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and take care, thank you? All right.
- 8:09Speaker 4: I just saw Brady James about a week ago. He
- 8:12Speaker 4: was right over here at Cowboys.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Fit.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Looks about the same as he did when he played, honestly,
- 8:19Speaker 4: which is a credit to him.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Uh.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Not all players look the same when they when when
- 8:23Speaker 4: they were playing one way or another. He does. He looks,
- 8:27Speaker 4: he looks the same he was. I think he was
- 8:30Speaker 4: one of the he was one of the few players
- 8:33Speaker 4: that led the team in tackles like five years in
- 8:35Speaker 4: a row. So but good, you know, good good, solid player.
- 8:42Speaker 4: You know, just was on on those teams that didn't
- 8:44Speaker 4: have a ton of success.
- 8:46Speaker 1: You know, I think I think it.
- 8:48Speaker 4: I think it really bothered him that he was on
- 8:51Speaker 4: the seven team that had thirteen Pro Bowlers and he
- 8:54Speaker 4: wasn't one of them.
- 8:55Speaker 8: You know.
- 8:56Speaker 4: I think he did lead the team in tackles that
- 8:57Speaker 4: year and every but made the Pro Bowl and he didn't.
- 9:01Speaker 4: I don't think that set well with him. But you know,
- 9:03Speaker 4: a good a good, solid player. I don't have much
- 9:06Speaker 4: to say on that one. All right, let's go to
- 9:10Speaker 4: uh Irwin and Denver.
- 9:12Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how you doing? Good morning?
- 9:15Speaker 1: Good morning? How are you?
- 9:17Speaker 2: I'm doing good?
- 9:18Speaker 10: Hey.
- 9:18Speaker 9: I just wanted to run a couple of things by
- 9:20Speaker 9: you get your thoughts on it. One, with the way
- 9:25Speaker 9: Jerry Jones runs the organization, I'm not gonna say nothing
- 9:29Speaker 9: really about that. It's his organization. Uh what is your
- 9:33Speaker 9: thoughts on him attracting high caliber coach someone like Ben
- 9:39Speaker 9: Johnson based on the way everybody talks about how Jerry
- 9:45Speaker 9: Jones has his hands and everything. And and the second
- 9:48Speaker 9: thing I want to ask you were just make a
- 9:50Speaker 9: comment on being from Colorado here there's a lot of
- 9:54Speaker 9: noise about beyond Sanders, you know, potentially.
- 10:00Speaker 11: Going to Dallas.
- 10:02Speaker 9: You know, he's doing a really good job here with
- 10:05Speaker 9: the Buffalo's And just wanted to get your thoughts on
- 10:07Speaker 9: that and what you have to say.
- 10:09Speaker 8: Thanks.
- 10:10Speaker 4: All right, Well, uh, you know we've talked about it.
- 10:15Speaker 4: I say this at least once a show now. I mean,
- 10:18Speaker 4: I'm really not going to get into form of you know,
- 10:21Speaker 4: future coaches down the road.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Uh.
- 10:24Speaker 4: You know, I don't think that's that's the right place
- 10:26Speaker 4: to do that here. And I understand that that's natural
- 10:30Speaker 4: to talk about, especially when you have a situation where
- 10:33Speaker 4: you have a coach with no contract next year and
- 10:35Speaker 4: things aren't looking good. So I get it it's easy
- 10:38Speaker 4: to do that. I wouldn't. I don't know as far
- 10:43Speaker 4: as Dion goes, that's a that's going to be that's
- 10:47Speaker 4: gonna be interesting because he's you know, he's got a
- 10:51Speaker 4: son that that's going to be a first round pick.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I would think. So, I don't you know that there's
- 10:57Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in there. I don't.
- 10:58Speaker 4: I don't see that happening here. To answer the part
- 11:02Speaker 4: about coaches though coming here with how the situation is run,
- 11:09Speaker 4: Bill Parcells was the coach here and so they had
- 11:12Speaker 4: success here. I think that that's all you need to know.
- 11:16Speaker 4: As far as can it work, yeah, it could work. Yeah,
- 11:21Speaker 4: any anything can work. If that worked, Yes, it can work.
- 11:25Speaker 4: And I think there's a there's a misconception on what Jerry,
- 11:30Speaker 4: how Jerry runs the team on. People think he's hands
- 11:35Speaker 4: on with everything. That isn't the case. It's really not.
- 11:40Speaker 4: People want to have a different GM. Trust me, there's
- 11:43Speaker 4: guys in this building that are doing GM type duties.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Now they don't have the title for it, but they
- 11:47Speaker 4: are that the way they always collaborate together. They run
- 11:51Speaker 4: this thing together. So in my opinion, if Will McLay
- 11:58Speaker 4: left to go to be Am, he's he's not going
- 12:02Speaker 4: to have, you know, night and day differences of of
- 12:06Speaker 4: what he's doing here. His his opinion matters. It's always
- 12:09Speaker 4: mattered a lot and and and so that's the same
- 12:12Speaker 4: with any head coach that they that they bring in.
- 12:15Speaker 4: If that is the case, Okay, that's all I really
- 12:17Speaker 4: want to say on that one. Let's go to Zach
- 12:19Speaker 4: in Poland.
- 12:23Speaker 11: Nick, what's going on?
- 12:24Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 12:26Speaker 10: Good?
- 12:27Speaker 12: Man?
- 12:27Speaker 10: Good?
- 12:27Speaker 11: How's even going there?
- 12:28Speaker 1: Good? What's up with you?
- 12:31Speaker 10: Oh?
- 12:31Speaker 11: You know, kind of regretting bringing my firestick on all
- 12:34Speaker 11: these trips watching these Cowboys games? Getting tough lately?
- 12:37Speaker 4: Nah, that's what. I don't even know what the time difference?
- 12:41Speaker 4: Is this the first time call? Or are you calling
- 12:44Speaker 4: from another place?
- 12:46Speaker 13: Oh?
- 12:46Speaker 11: No, No, I call out of Germany a lot.
- 12:48Speaker 1: But I mean I travel for work, got it? Got it? Okay? Yeah? Yeah,
- 12:51Speaker 1: all right? Well cool?
- 12:53Speaker 4: But how do they look on that side of the world,
- 12:57Speaker 4: because they don't look that good here.
- 13:01Speaker 11: Honestly, probably worse because some of these games we stay up,
- 13:03Speaker 11: I stay up really late for so not not so good.
- 13:07Speaker 11: But hey, you know pard it. You know some of
- 13:11Speaker 11: these guys say it all the time. You know you
- 13:12Speaker 11: can't be a fair weather fan. I love you guys.
- 13:14Speaker 11: We had all those five and eleven seasons years ago,
- 13:17Speaker 11: probably on the trajectory for where we're at this year too.
- 13:20Speaker 11: But what I wanted to bring up to you, do
- 13:23Speaker 11: you think now that we're gonna look at it always,
- 13:28Speaker 11: you know, hindsight twenty twenty after the fact, looking at
- 13:31Speaker 11: where we're going this season. I know McCarthy's still in
- 13:34Speaker 11: the building. I'll respect that. I'm not going to bring
- 13:36Speaker 11: up other names things like that, but knowing that this
- 13:39Speaker 11: is likely his last year with the way things are going,
- 13:42Speaker 11: he had an expiring contract, do you think there's regret
- 13:46Speaker 11: of giving Dak that top tier money sixty million year?
- 13:50Speaker 11: And basically you're gonna have a new regime coming in
- 13:54Speaker 11: where we are likely on pace to have a top
- 13:57Speaker 11: ten pick, maybe higher, where we could have done a
- 13:59Speaker 11: full rebuild the right way. And the reason I say
- 14:02Speaker 11: that one piece, and I look at what we just
- 14:05Speaker 11: traded for Mingo to me, really doesn't make sense. And
- 14:08Speaker 11: I'll give the Trey Lance comparisonon you know, last year
- 14:11Speaker 11: we could have learned a lesson from giving up a
- 14:13Speaker 11: fourth round pick, and you know that could turn into
- 14:16Speaker 11: burn Allen for example when we needed a running back.
- 14:18Speaker 11: But we don't have that pick anymore. This team where
- 14:21Speaker 11: we are now, we give up a fourth Mingo maybe
- 14:25Speaker 11: was good coming out, he hasn't proven anything in the
- 14:27Speaker 11: in the league. And you know where we're at right
- 14:30Speaker 11: as we're speaking, this team is doing the wrong direction. Mean,
- 14:33Speaker 11: we're going to have good draft capital. For me, I
- 14:36Speaker 11: would rather have kept that pick and see we could
- 14:39Speaker 11: have got But I just wanted to get your thoughts
- 14:40Speaker 11: on those things. And uh, you know, I'll hang.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Up, but let me ask you this though, real quick.
- 14:45Speaker 4: And I'm not saying you're wrong there, but like who
- 14:49Speaker 4: do you want to draft in the fourth round?
- 14:50Speaker 12: Like?
- 14:50Speaker 1: Who? Who?
- 14:51Speaker 4: Who do you want to take right there at the
- 14:52Speaker 4: top of the fourth round? What what player are you
- 14:54Speaker 4: taking there? Obviously it's early, what are you going to
- 14:57Speaker 4: take them?
- 14:58Speaker 11: It is it early? I haven't I haven't already digging
- 15:00Speaker 11: into the draft too far yet and end up early
- 15:03Speaker 11: and I do. I mean, I'm one of those guys
- 15:05Speaker 11: that actually follow the draft and I'll listen to the
- 15:07Speaker 11: content you guys put out, but I also do my
- 15:09Speaker 11: own independent So right now it's kind of it's it's
- 15:11Speaker 11: really early. What I'm saying is is, you know, like
- 15:14Speaker 11: last year and I was beating the table and I
- 15:16Speaker 11: had called in. We talked about trade Bence and some
- 15:18Speaker 11: other guys. You know, when we didn't address running back
- 15:21Speaker 11: is a good example. We were like, oh, we got Zeke,
- 15:24Speaker 11: We're going to be fine. And I thought that was
- 15:25Speaker 11: a mistake then, and you know, here we are. We
- 15:28Speaker 11: don't have a run game. Rico's done well for what
- 15:30Speaker 11: he's what he's worth, but you know, yeah, it's concerning,
- 15:34Speaker 11: it is my point. Like me though, for what he
- 15:37Speaker 11: you know, I think he was a second rounder when
- 15:39Speaker 11: he went to Carolina. Yeah, you know, he had a
- 15:42Speaker 11: tape coming out, But what has he proven in the
- 15:44Speaker 11: league the two years he's been here. I wouldn't have
- 15:47Speaker 11: given up the fourth. Yeah, well, you know that's my
- 15:51Speaker 11: thing is is are we buying or are we selling team?
- 15:54Speaker 11: Right Like right now this season we're not going in
- 15:56Speaker 11: the right direction. Why are we buying? You know, and
- 15:58Speaker 11: I guess they're not. I mean, what you trade a
- 16:01Speaker 11: capital to for a guy that's.
- 16:03Speaker 4: But that's the thing. They're not buying, they're investing. That's
- 16:06Speaker 4: that's the look. I'm not saying that. I'm not gonna
- 16:08Speaker 4: try to sit here and say it's it's a great
- 16:10Speaker 4: move because we don't know that. But he's done just
- 16:13Speaker 4: as much. And this is a sad part, he's done
- 16:15Speaker 4: just as much as that fourth round wide receiver that
- 16:17Speaker 4: you're trying to get at the top of the fourth round.
- 16:20Speaker 4: He's done that. So that that's what you're trying to get.
- 16:23Speaker 4: You want to get that wide receiver that's got a
- 16:25Speaker 4: big body, great tape. The Cowboys had a second round
- 16:28Speaker 4: great on him. They got him in the fourth round.
- 16:30Speaker 4: That's the player you want. You're getting that guy. You
- 16:33Speaker 4: know it right now, You're already getting that guy. Don't
- 16:37Speaker 4: know what he's done in those two years, but that's
- 16:40Speaker 4: who you're getting right now.
- 16:41Speaker 1: You know this.
- 16:42Speaker 4: So that's the kind of player that you're gonna want. Anyways,
- 16:46Speaker 4: That's why I don't hate the move. Let's just see
- 16:48Speaker 4: what comes what comes out of it, because what if
- 16:50Speaker 4: he is a second to third round talent type guy,
- 16:55Speaker 4: that you got in the.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Fourth round, you would like you would take that. You can't.
- 16:58Speaker 4: You can't make the Trey Lance compare because only one
- 17:01Speaker 4: quarterback plays at a time. Maybe unless they get real creative.
- 17:04Speaker 4: But but I'm saying, Mingo should be able to play
- 17:09Speaker 4: here in these and you know you used to be
- 17:10Speaker 4: able to find out what you've got a little bit
- 17:13Speaker 4: this year.
- 17:13Speaker 1: So I don't hate.
- 17:14Speaker 11: It, but all right, I mean, how much how much
- 17:17Speaker 11: control do we have after that?
- 17:19Speaker 1: What are you what for Migo?
- 17:22Speaker 11: So like Mingo, he's still under contract right, how long?
- 17:24Speaker 11: Because he's what he is, a four year Yeah, we
- 17:26Speaker 11: have him for another two basically.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Two more years. Yeah, yeah, that's that's obviously the difference.
- 17:30Speaker 11: I mean, it's a tough one. It's always easy, you know.
- 17:33Speaker 11: Right now, it's not gonna hurt as bad to have
- 17:35Speaker 11: that conversation. But draft season comes along, you might have
- 17:38Speaker 11: a guy that had a higher pick. You know, it
- 17:40Speaker 11: could be another medical, somebody slides, you know. I mean,
- 17:45Speaker 11: there's value in the fourth. I mean that's always true.
- 17:47Speaker 11: I mean what we got back in the fourth, but yeah,
- 17:49Speaker 11: you know, you never know when it comes draft season.
- 17:51Speaker 11: It's really hard to say that now for me. I'm
- 17:53Speaker 11: just looking at if I would have rather have been
- 17:56Speaker 11: a seller this year, just looking at where we're going
- 17:59Speaker 11: and saying, hey, well it looks like we're likely to
- 18:01Speaker 11: have good capital, good position. But I see, I mean,
- 18:04Speaker 11: it's to your point, and you're right with the wide
- 18:06Speaker 11: receiver standpoint, you have multiple guys on the field, take
- 18:09Speaker 11: a shot when he lose. But I don't know. I
- 18:11Speaker 11: just some of the decisions we make are difficult, Like
- 18:14Speaker 11: I said, with signing the QB, when your head coaches
- 18:19Speaker 11: on the expiring contract and you know, it's just are
- 18:22Speaker 11: we buying and we sell? Are we doing the soft
- 18:24Speaker 11: rebuild or when do we go go all in? And
- 18:27Speaker 11: kind of h.
- 18:29Speaker 4: All right, thanks Zach, thanks for the call. Thanks for
- 18:32Speaker 4: wherever you are, if it's Germany, Poland he calls in,
- 18:35Speaker 4: Appreciate that. And I don't want to take this the
- 18:39Speaker 4: wrong way. I mean, I don't want y'all to say
- 18:42Speaker 4: that I'm spinning this trade. I nothing has happened yet
- 18:46Speaker 4: on this trade, okay, Like nothing has happened. He hasn't played,
- 18:50Speaker 4: so like it's just it seems weird that that the
- 18:54Speaker 4: idea of a high fourth round pick are the idea
- 18:57Speaker 4: of any fourth round pick is is like so exciting
- 19:02Speaker 4: that why would they give up on this player that
- 19:05Speaker 4: you don't have no idea who it is. And if
- 19:10Speaker 4: Mingo does anything, if he does anything in these last
- 19:13Speaker 4: few games, he shows he has a game or two
- 19:17Speaker 4: where he shows some flashes, he is he's that's a
- 19:21Speaker 4: head start for me. That's a head start on the
- 19:24Speaker 4: receiver position. That doesn't mean you don't address it at all,
- 19:27Speaker 4: because you could still draft another guy, because I don't
- 19:30Speaker 4: know if Tolbert is the answer. I mean, he'll be
- 19:34Speaker 4: a free agent at the end of next year. His
- 19:36Speaker 4: contract could just come, could just go out, So I
- 19:39Speaker 4: mean you could draft another wide receiver. But there's traits
- 19:43Speaker 4: that they like that they still like from him, and
- 19:47Speaker 4: just because it's not working out in Carolina right now
- 19:50Speaker 4: doesn't mean that he's a bust. And I think that's
- 19:53Speaker 4: what the Cowboys believe and they wanted to get a
- 19:55Speaker 4: head start on it. If he shows you anything, then
- 19:57Speaker 4: to me, you do have a head start on next
- 19:59Speaker 4: year because you're getting a wide receiver that you think
- 20:02Speaker 4: has second round talent. You're getting it for a fourth
- 20:04Speaker 4: round pick, and he should be he should be a
- 20:08Speaker 4: little bit further along than anybody that you draft there
- 20:11Speaker 4: in the high fourth rounder. Throw Dak if you want
- 20:14Speaker 4: to Pollard, Drence, Armstrong, Schultz. You got great fourth round picks,
- 20:19Speaker 4: no doubt about it. I can give you five more
- 20:22Speaker 4: that are probably not wearing football uniforms right or they're
- 20:26Speaker 4: not wearing football uniforms right now. They're probably working nine
- 20:29Speaker 4: to five like us. All right, let's go. Let's take
- 20:32Speaker 4: a break here on Cowboys storyline. I'll be right back

- 22:43Speaker 16: Joe, Hey, Hey, Nick, how's it going good?
- 22:45Speaker 13: How are you good?
- 22:47Speaker 16: You know, I called the first time I've done this,
- 22:49Speaker 16: and I've called about sixty times, but hey, it was
- 22:52Speaker 16: completely worth it.
- 22:53Speaker 13: So we're here. There we go, There we go, There
- 22:58Speaker 13: we go.
- 22:58Speaker 1: It's official.
- 23:00Speaker 13: Yeah, that's especial.
- 23:00Speaker 16: That's right. I'll be quick. I don't know if you
- 23:03Speaker 16: guys spoke about it yesterday. I apologize and get a
- 23:05Speaker 16: chance to watch the episode, but just some like injury
- 23:10Speaker 16: updates I haven't really heard much about, like Marshawn Neeland Tank. Yeah,
- 23:16Speaker 16: the same question was what's the deal with land? I know,
- 23:19Speaker 16: originally the timeline was supposed to be like way back,
- 23:23Speaker 16: he should have been on the field by now, but
- 23:26Speaker 16: you know, kind of want to know what's going on
- 23:27Speaker 16: with that. Why it's been taking so long? Are they
- 23:29Speaker 16: just being cautious?
- 23:30Speaker 2: No?
- 23:31Speaker 16: And he's got and then one.
- 23:33Speaker 10: Oh, sorry, guys, he.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Has soreness that he just they thought he would he
- 23:37Speaker 4: would be better, he was ready to go, than all
- 23:39Speaker 4: of a sudden, right before that first game he was
- 23:41Speaker 4: supposed to play, he got soreness again and they just
- 23:45Speaker 4: hasn't gone away. So he's they're trying to keep working
- 23:48Speaker 4: through that. But no that they're not putting him on
- 23:50Speaker 4: the shelf yet. He's still expected to come back sooner
- 23:53Speaker 4: than later.
- 23:54Speaker 16: That's still the plane, all right, all right, awesome. And
- 23:57Speaker 16: then one statement, I don't think anyone's done this yet,
- 24:01Speaker 16: but if I could have like the ultimate Cowboys talk show,
- 24:05Speaker 16: it would be you, Derek Eagleton, my man, Brian brought us,
- 24:09Speaker 16: and then David Hellman. We've got to try to bring
- 24:12Speaker 16: David Hellman back. He was awesome. That's that's all I
- 24:15Speaker 16: have for today. Thank you for taking my call and
- 24:18Speaker 16: go Cowboys storyline.
- 24:19Speaker 13: Appreciate it.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 24:21Speaker 4: So that was the break like a few years well, sure,
- 24:27Speaker 4: if if we ever had that that combination, I think
- 24:31Speaker 4: we did. I think we did have that that combination
- 24:33Speaker 4: at some point. I know we've we've done it on
- 24:35Speaker 4: the break. I don't know if it was ever the
- 24:37Speaker 4: full time one. But yeah, we've definitely had had that
- 24:42Speaker 4: combination before. So honestly, I mean like brought us and
- 24:47Speaker 4: Dave needed their own show. Thanks seriously, they they they
- 24:51Speaker 4: could have done their own if no one sees this
- 24:55Speaker 4: really except unless you worked up there. But the relationship
- 24:58Speaker 4: between those two guys was as unique as you could
- 25:02Speaker 4: ever find like it. It was the father son type thing,
- 25:06Speaker 4: it really was, because Protest would he would just mf
- 25:11Speaker 4: Dave since the moment he got there, from what he
- 25:13Speaker 4: was wearing, how much dog hair he had on him,
- 25:15Speaker 4: what time he got there, everything, but the minute anyone
- 25:20Speaker 4: else said anything about him, oh, Brian was ready to fight.
- 25:22Speaker 4: He was ready to go, so you can't say anything
- 25:24Speaker 4: about it. So they had a great relationship back and
- 25:28Speaker 4: forth and they were good together on the show. So yeah,
- 25:30Speaker 4: that was cool. To answer your questions about other guys,
- 25:36Speaker 4: Marshawn Nielan and DeMarcus Lawrence. Both of those two, I
- 25:42Speaker 4: have yet to see them during the practice. I've yet
- 25:44Speaker 4: to see them starting to work their way back in,
- 25:48Speaker 4: you know, and it takes some time once you get
- 25:50Speaker 4: out there on the field with the chords and all that,
- 25:52Speaker 4: but I haven't really seen that yet. So I wouldn't
- 25:55Speaker 4: say it's close. It doesn't mean it's not happening. It
- 25:56Speaker 4: could be happening at a different place. But I don't
- 25:59Speaker 4: think that we're we're talking about a week or two
- 26:02Speaker 4: here for either one of those two guys. They could
- 26:06Speaker 4: they could be off of I are by now, but
- 26:09Speaker 4: I don't think that's you know, they didn't have four
- 26:12Speaker 4: week injuries.
- 26:13Speaker 1: So we'll see.
- 26:14Speaker 4: Neilan might be a little closer than Tank, but again
- 26:17Speaker 4: we haven't seen the officially.
- 26:19Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Tamra in Iowa.
- 26:23Speaker 8: Hey there, Hello, I'm so I want to apologize. So
- 26:29Speaker 8: I'm gonna start off by apologizing. I feel like the
- 26:32Speaker 8: last one I called in, I tend to be a
- 26:35Speaker 8: little bit not positive. I don't want to say it's negative.
- 26:42Speaker 1: With this season, you want have to achieve.
- 26:45Speaker 8: So much, and they I say the Cowboys, so we
- 26:48Speaker 8: could break my heart every week and say, stupid Cowboys,
- 26:52Speaker 8: you just broke my heart. Yeah, that's my little saying. Okay,
- 26:56Speaker 8: and then I'm done. I'm not gonna talk about it
- 26:58Speaker 8: no more. I love you, I love Chris, and I
- 27:02Speaker 8: want to put some positivity over here. I love so

- 32:07Speaker 4: to go and win a game. You're gonna fight, Okay.
- 32:09Speaker 4: You can go to any rec center on a Saturday
- 32:12Speaker 4: morning and find middle aged guys playing basketball and acting
- 32:17Speaker 4: like it's the Final Four, okay, because that's what guys do.
- 32:20Speaker 4: So you're going to fight when the lights are on end.
- 32:22Speaker 4: It's Monday night football. They're going to battle against the Texans.
- 32:25Speaker 4: But have they prepared enough on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
- 32:29Speaker 4: Monday to go and when you know, and punch back
- 32:33Speaker 4: when when you're getting your ass kicked, can you do that?
- 32:37Speaker 4: And that's that's when when teams, when they give up,
- 32:40Speaker 4: they don't never give up on Sunday, they give up
- 32:43Speaker 4: earlier in the week. And that's what the That's what
- 32:45Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy's job is right now, he's the coach. That's
- 32:48Speaker 4: what his job in the assistance job is to make
- 32:51Speaker 4: sure this team fights seven days a week, not just
- 32:54Speaker 4: for four quarters.
- 32:56Speaker 1: All right, Gavin in Oklahoma City.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Gig man, you didn't uphold your end of the bargain.
- 33:02Speaker 2: You told me if I picked l SU to lose,
- 33:04Speaker 2: that the cowboyould they win? Man, I thought she was
- 33:07Speaker 2: my genie.
- 33:09Speaker 1: It was. It was. It was a bad weekend, huh.
- 33:12Speaker 2: It was. If I if I see another Alabama quarterback
- 33:16Speaker 2: running rush and touch down, I might throw up.
- 33:18Speaker 4: For real in Oklahoma. I mean, I don't know if
- 33:22Speaker 4: that's your team. No, yeah, I'm sure you could. You
- 33:26Speaker 4: could tune into make shots for all the coverage of
- 33:28Speaker 4: that game Missouri Olahoma.
- 33:30Speaker 1: All right, what's up? Man?
- 33:33Speaker 9: Oh man?
- 33:34Speaker 2: Uh? Well, First, I want to say, for for those
- 33:37Speaker 2: of you who were saying dek is terrible and we
- 33:40Speaker 2: want Cooper rush, y'all fans have said that deserve to
- 33:43Speaker 2: see what y'all saw this.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Yeah, that looks better. You know, he definitely looked better.
- 33:49Speaker 4: The other day and he took a hit.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Geez, what are the chances of that? But I'm not saying.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I'm not saying isn't going to take it back. I'm
- 34:00Speaker 2: not saying he's gonna do better. I'm just saying, for
- 34:03Speaker 2: the for the fans who are who are saying, let's
- 34:06Speaker 2: bring Cooper Rush back, sucks this and that this is
- 34:08Speaker 2: the game for y'all, the rest of us Cowboys fan
- 34:10Speaker 2: we didn't deserve it. When that was the first game
- 34:14Speaker 2: I lost my temper all year. I'm a very nonchalant person,
- 34:18Speaker 2: like I just I watched the game. I don't really
- 34:21Speaker 2: get mad. But when Cooper Rush plumbled that ball and
- 34:25Speaker 2: he tried to hop back on top of it and
- 34:27Speaker 2: the Eagles still ended up with it, I threw my cup. Man,
- 34:30Speaker 2: I was I was mad.
- 34:33Speaker 1: That's funny.
- 34:34Speaker 4: You probably told yourself, Hey, I'm not gonna worry about it.
- 34:38Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna get mad.
- 34:39Speaker 4: It's a game, probably not going to win this game.
- 34:42Speaker 4: And then what five plays into the game, maybe you
- 34:45Speaker 4: know that that happens.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And that's the other thing I came to
- 34:51Speaker 2: tell you about was the positive And obviously we can
- 34:54Speaker 2: all see this but I think Overshaw is gonna be
- 34:56Speaker 2: a hell of a player. I thought watching demo was
- 34:59Speaker 2: very fun. I thought the defense was fun in general.
- 35:01Speaker 2: I'm a find a reason that into it a game.
- 35:03Speaker 2: That was my reason.
- 35:04Speaker 4: He's awesome to watch, There's no doubt. Yeah, he's he's
- 35:08Speaker 4: a fun player. And you know, I wish you would
- 35:12Speaker 4: have made that play on Hurts there, you know, with
- 35:15Speaker 4: a sack and right for the half, because that that
- 35:18Speaker 4: that would have led to some But he was he
- 35:22Speaker 4: was great, and uh he and him and Parsons both,
- 35:25Speaker 4: I mean, they they got something going there. And you know,
- 35:29Speaker 4: I'd like to see I would like to see Tank
- 35:31Speaker 4: come back, if he is going to come back this year,
- 35:34Speaker 4: I'd like to see him come back. And you know,
- 35:37Speaker 4: you got those guys and then you got your corners.
- 35:39Speaker 4: If you can get Bland back, I mean, you know,
- 35:42Speaker 4: I know Zimmer gets a lot of you know, grief
- 35:45Speaker 4: for for how this defense is gone, but we all
- 35:48Speaker 4: know that that it's been shorthanded from the jump. I mean,
- 35:51Speaker 4: they have not been at full strength and they probably
- 35:52Speaker 4: will not be at full strength at all this year.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, if you listen to Cowboys saying we supposed
- 36:00Speaker 2: to be trading Michael Parsons, so let's just trade. I'm
- 36:03Speaker 2: just joking.
- 36:04Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm not I'm not there. I'm not there
- 36:07Speaker 4: on the trade Parsons train.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Why would you trade him when you could usually get
- 36:11Speaker 2: ten first round picks and you probably ain't gonna find
- 36:13Speaker 2: another Michael Parsons. But anyway, the only other thing I
- 36:18Speaker 2: had a question for you on was I heard you
- 36:21Speaker 2: yesterday say something about them Michael comment after the game.
- 36:24Speaker 2: You know the comment he made about Yeah, Zach Martin
- 36:27Speaker 2: and Mike McCarthy know what I'm referring to. But anyway,
- 36:30Speaker 2: I actually thought that was the realist statement I've heard
- 36:34Speaker 2: that Cowboys players say, Oh, you're actually liked it. I
- 36:36Speaker 2: do agree with you that the question was a setup,
- 36:39Speaker 2: but I don't think he was taking a direct shot
- 36:41Speaker 2: at Mike McCarthy. It felt like more to me, he
- 36:43Speaker 2: was just saying, like, Hey, these guys have been here
- 36:45Speaker 2: in the building before Mike McCarthy. I feel I do
- 36:49Speaker 2: feel bad for Zach Martin. Man, there's so many players
- 36:52Speaker 2: that came through the Cowboys locker room that deserves super
- 36:55Speaker 2: Bowls and it just hasn't happened in my lifetime. But anyway,
- 36:58Speaker 2: I'll let you go. Thanks for taking my car.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Thanks Kevin.
- 37:00Speaker 4: You know, the sad reality is is and I would
- 37:03Speaker 4: be frustrated if I was Micah Parsons when it comes
- 37:06Speaker 4: to to that in the media, because you know, he
- 37:12Speaker 4: was trying. The reality is he was trying to to
- 37:15Speaker 4: say the right thing.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Uh.
- 37:18Speaker 4: He gets he gets blamed for not being the leader.
- 37:21Speaker 4: He gets blamed for not being a team guy. Here
- 37:24Speaker 4: he is bringing up Zack Martin on on his own
- 37:26Speaker 4: a guy that that he's he knows the writing on
- 37:29Speaker 4: the wall. He knows this is probably the last season
- 37:32Speaker 4: Zach Martin's career, and and that and he's he's acknowledging that,
- 37:37Speaker 4: and he does it in a way and with the
- 37:39Speaker 4: words that he used that that that didn't sound right,
- 37:43Speaker 4: you know. And and now he's talked to Mike McCarthy.
- 37:48Speaker 4: They they've they've cleared the air, according to Mike, and
- 37:52Speaker 4: Jerry Jones said on his radio show that that he's
- 37:55Speaker 4: talked to both sides and he he he knows as
- 37:57Speaker 4: a fact that that's not what what you know that
- 38:01Speaker 4: Michael was not trying to throw his head coach under
- 38:04Speaker 4: the bus in any way like that.
- 38:05Speaker 1: I was standing right there.
- 38:07Speaker 4: I like to think I have a pretty good gauge
- 38:09Speaker 4: on on that kind of stuff too.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Just I mean, we all do.
- 38:12Speaker 4: We're standing right there, you kind of understand what a
- 38:15Speaker 4: guy's saying, and I got the gist of what it was.
- 38:19Speaker 4: And it's unfortunate that that happens, but it's not the
- 38:21Speaker 4: first time. It's happened a lot this year. And that's
- 38:23Speaker 4: what happens when you're losing games. You lose games things
- 38:26Speaker 4: like this happened. All right, let's go to Logan in
- 38:29Speaker 4: San Antonio.
- 38:30Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how are you doing good?
- 38:32Speaker 1: How are you doing? First time call?
- 38:34Speaker 7: Yes, sir, I used I used to call in back
- 38:39Speaker 7: in the day to like the Cowboys break and all
- 38:41Speaker 7: that stuff. But I haven't called into this show.
- 38:43Speaker 13: Yet.
- 38:44Speaker 12: Well we'll figured out figured I would nice glad to
- 38:46Speaker 12: have you.
- 38:48Speaker 7: So I had a quick question, speaking of Zach Martin
- 38:50Speaker 7: and the offensive line. What do you think would it
- 38:54Speaker 7: take for the coaches to decide maybe to move to
- 39:00Speaker 7: Tyler Smith to left tackle, put in TJ. Bass at
- 39:03Speaker 7: left guard, and put Tyler Guiton at right tackle. I
- 39:06Speaker 7: feel like that would kind of show up the offensive
- 39:08Speaker 7: line issues.
- 39:09Speaker 13: A little bit.
- 39:10Speaker 1: I say that again, tell me what you want.
- 39:12Speaker 13: You want who at left tackle Tyler Smith?
- 39:15Speaker 1: And who at guard uh TJ.
- 39:18Speaker 7: Bass? And then guiding at right tackle.
- 39:23Speaker 1: And then center and guard the right guard the same,
- 39:26Speaker 1: the same.
- 39:27Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't hate that, except for who do
- 39:34Speaker 4: you think has a little bit more upside right now?
- 39:37Speaker 4: Awesome Richards or TJ.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Bass.
- 39:41Speaker 7: Honestly, I would be okay with Austin Richards too. He
- 39:44Speaker 7: played actually really well this last Sunday. I was surprised
- 39:47Speaker 7: about that one. I've always liked Austin Richards, but I didn't.
- 39:50Speaker 7: I didn't think he was going to play that well
- 39:51Speaker 7: at left tackle.
- 39:53Speaker 4: And I think and and another element to that is
- 39:56Speaker 4: the moving Tyler Smith.
- 39:57Speaker 1: They they really don't want to do that. I think
- 39:59Speaker 1: they feel.
- 40:00Speaker 4: Like he has And I know this is this is
- 40:04Speaker 4: some company here that I'm I'm putting in with. But
- 40:06Speaker 4: he has some Larry Allen slash Zach Martin type ability
- 40:11Speaker 4: at guard that I agree that he if he stays
- 40:14Speaker 4: at guard, just like those other two. They they've moved
- 40:17Speaker 4: a little bit to tackle. They could play it, but
- 40:19Speaker 4: they're gonna be all pro or in Hall of Fame guards.
- 40:23Speaker 4: And I think they feel like Tyler Smith can do that,
- 40:25Speaker 4: so they're not They don't really want to move him,
- 40:28Speaker 4: so it would make more sense to keep him there
- 40:30Speaker 4: and Austin Richards play left tackle as opposed to putting
- 40:34Speaker 4: in TJ. Bass, which I'm not I like TJ. But
- 40:36Speaker 4: I think I think that so you're probably onto something.
- 40:39Speaker 4: I'm I'm okay with the Tyler guyton to write right guard,
- 40:43Speaker 4: right tackle. But you know that's that's a lot of
- 40:47Speaker 4: money that they've paid for Steel, right, I.
- 40:49Speaker 7: Mean, and that that that was one of the major things.
- 40:52Speaker 7: That's why I said, you know, what do you think
- 40:53Speaker 7: would what it takes? Because I just feel like it
- 40:55Speaker 7: would keep the pocket cleaner. I'm not trying to take
- 40:58Speaker 7: shots to Terrence Steel or anything. I just say that
- 41:02Speaker 7: someone else needs to be at right tackle right now
- 41:04Speaker 7: because it hasn't been very clean.
- 41:07Speaker 4: Yeah, it's too bad that. I mean, they need to
- 41:09Speaker 4: run the football better.
- 41:11Speaker 1: And he needs to be on a team that that that.
- 41:13Speaker 4: Has some success running. He's not bad as a run blocker.
- 41:17Speaker 4: He's got those trades. He's mean, he's nasty. Heck, I
- 41:20Speaker 4: think he wanted to pick up the ball and be
- 41:22Speaker 4: the running back himself. That that was a bad play.
- 41:27Speaker 4: By by an offensive lineman. That's one of the worst
- 41:29Speaker 4: plays you can have as an offensive lineman to give
- 41:31Speaker 4: up a sack that forces a fumble and then you
- 41:34Speaker 4: try to pick it up and you take it away
- 41:36Speaker 4: from the fullback who actually should have the ball, and
- 41:38Speaker 4: then you try to scoop it and do what with
- 41:40Speaker 4: it and also fumble.
- 41:42Speaker 1: And then they get it.
- 41:43Speaker 13: Yeah, you really.
- 41:45Speaker 1: Can't have a worse play as an offensive lineman.
- 41:47Speaker 7: I couldn't agree with you anymore. I was sitting in
- 41:49Speaker 7: my living room living room watching that, and I was
- 41:51Speaker 7: just sitting here thinking like, how is this going to
- 41:53Speaker 7: get any worse? And but you know, speaking of running
- 41:58Speaker 7: the ball, honestly, I feel like if they gave Rico
- 42:01Speaker 7: doll to the ball at least five to ten more
- 42:04Speaker 7: times a game, I don't think he'd be doing very bad.
- 42:06Speaker 7: He's been running the football pretty nice. They just got
- 42:08Speaker 7: to stick with the run. But the problem is, I guess,
- 42:10Speaker 7: is they get behind so much.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Yeah that they can't.
- 42:13Speaker 7: But he's really not playing bad.
- 42:15Speaker 1: No, he's not.
- 42:16Speaker 4: He's not playing bad at all. Hey, Logan, we appreciate
- 42:19Speaker 4: the call. We're gonna have to take a break here.
- 42:21Speaker 1: Thanks.

- 43:58Speaker 4: Let's go to the phone Line's Dylan in Northport, Florida.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Dylan, what's up, hey, Nick?
- 44:03Speaker 13: How's going good?
- 44:04Speaker 1: How are you good?
- 44:05Speaker 12: Calling from New York today?
- 44:07Speaker 9: Further away?
- 44:08Speaker 1: All right, Florida, Dylan from the report.
- 44:10Speaker 12: They'll spare you that.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what's up?
- 44:15Speaker 12: Time we Yeah, I think it's time we close the
- 44:17Speaker 12: curtains on the trade Micah discussion. He's one of the
- 44:20Speaker 12: few bright spots on this team, and we didn't have
- 44:23Speaker 12: a pass rush for what six seven weeks. He comes
- 44:25Speaker 12: back and they get five sacks. It's not just his
- 44:28Speaker 12: stat line, it's the stuff he does that. You know,
- 44:30Speaker 12: the entrained nine might not be able.
- 44:32Speaker 2: To see or perceive.
- 44:34Speaker 12: And I think the trading him away for two first
- 44:37Speaker 12: round picks wherever it might be, I think that's silly talk.
- 44:40Speaker 12: This team doesn't sign big name free agent players, so
- 44:42Speaker 12: when they draft a star, they got to keep that
- 44:45Speaker 12: star because they're not going to replace that star with
- 44:47Speaker 12: anybody unless you get lucky again in the draft. So
- 44:49Speaker 12: I think we can, like I said, shut the shut
- 44:51Speaker 12: the curtains on that, and at least shut the curtains
- 44:53Speaker 12: on something around you.
- 44:54Speaker 1: All right, Dylan, you're not yeah cute, it's not cute.
- 44:58Speaker 1: I get it. What you're doing, it's not.
- 45:01Speaker 12: I'm glad you caught it.
- 45:02Speaker 4: I caught it three times, all right, I got it,
- 45:04Speaker 4: all right, I got it.
- 45:05Speaker 2: All right.
- 45:06Speaker 1: It's too dark.
- 45:07Speaker 4: We need to open things up and shine some light
- 45:10Speaker 4: in this on this show a little bit, okay.
- 45:13Speaker 12: All right, all right, we'll shine some light in there.
- 45:16Speaker 12: The other thing, the only way I'm replacing Mike McCarthy
- 45:19Speaker 12: is if it's with Mike Zimmer. I don't want to
- 45:21Speaker 12: taint a young up and coming coach like Al Harris
- 45:24Speaker 12: with this team this season. I don't want to give
- 45:27Speaker 12: somebody their first head coaching experience to be just this bad,
- 45:32Speaker 12: bad team that has, you know, no hope. So if
- 45:34Speaker 12: you want to replace it, McCarthy was thember, that's fine.
- 45:37Speaker 12: But other than that, I'm keeping McCarthy around and we'll
- 45:39Speaker 12: just ride this thing out and see where it goes.
- 45:41Speaker 12: But that's all I got, man, Thanks appreciate it.
- 45:43Speaker 13: You know.
- 45:44Speaker 4: I think Jerry has said it several times. He doesn't
- 45:46Speaker 4: want to. He didn't he didn't like having to fire
- 45:50Speaker 4: Wade Phillips, and he really hasn't had to fire. That's
- 45:52Speaker 4: the last coach he's fired. He didn't fire Jason Garrett
- 45:55Speaker 4: his contract went out. I think there's something to this
- 45:59Speaker 4: where he understands that Mike, he knows Mike minke carthy
- 46:03Speaker 4: is a good coach, and he knows that that, you know,
- 46:05Speaker 4: twelve wins, twelve wins, twelve wins, and then this year
- 46:07Speaker 4: it's not going to be that and and there's there's
- 46:10Speaker 4: a lot of reasons why, and injuries is just one
- 46:14Speaker 4: of them, but it's a big one. And so he
- 46:17Speaker 4: knows that he's you know, he's he's a good he's
- 46:20Speaker 4: a good coach. And I don't think he wants to
- 46:23Speaker 4: have to fire him, and and like you said, write
- 46:27Speaker 4: it out, but I think that they're going to have
- 46:29Speaker 4: to continue to play hard. They're gonna have to he
- 46:32Speaker 4: has to continue to to you know, show the fight
- 46:35Speaker 4: for this team, and and and and be prepared and
- 46:38Speaker 4: and they you know, that's one thing that they haven't been.
- 46:40Speaker 4: They haven't been very prepared. So you know, at the
- 46:43Speaker 4: coaching gets gets some blame for some of this, not
- 46:45Speaker 4: just injuries. The guys that are out here having to
- 46:48Speaker 4: play haven't looked prepared all the time. All Right, we've
- 46:52Speaker 4: only got a few more minutes to go on this show.
- 46:55Speaker 4: The lines are open, but uh, we really we really
- 46:58Speaker 4: got to wrap it up. If somebody call like super quick,
- 47:01Speaker 4: we would get that done. But probably going to be
- 47:05Speaker 4: the end of it. Oh, we got one. We got
- 47:07Speaker 4: a winner. He's the champ, champ from Nebraska.
- 47:11Speaker 10: Heynck. What's going on?
- 47:13Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 47:15Speaker 12: Not bad?
- 47:15Speaker 10: Hey, I'll be quick. I know you gotta you're about
- 47:17Speaker 10: to finish up here. Got a couple of things. I
- 47:21Speaker 10: gotta apologize for thinking confusing mix shots last week. I
- 47:24Speaker 10: did not mean to do that.
- 47:25Speaker 13: And I know I.
- 47:26Speaker 10: Started something that I know you don't like so. And
- 47:28Speaker 10: the other thing is, man, was I wrong? I was wrong.
- 47:32Speaker 10: I had that hopium and it flew out the window.
- 47:37Speaker 10: It lasted almost a half before it flew out the window,
- 47:41Speaker 10: but it flew out the window. So I got I
- 47:44Speaker 10: had a question with the talking top with guys. I
- 47:46Speaker 10: just asked them. I said, what's your take on the
- 47:49Speaker 10: possibility that with all the injuries we had this year,
- 47:53Speaker 10: Mike McCarthy isn't replaced. I know you're not looking at that.
- 47:56Speaker 10: I know that you know, but the one year contract,
- 47:59Speaker 10: everything that's been going on, that's been the storyline all
- 48:02Speaker 10: year long. Do you think that that plays into it
- 48:06Speaker 10: with the decision Jerry Jones mates and he winds up
- 48:09Speaker 10: keeping McCartney. But I've been saying, I'll hang up, hey,
- 48:11Speaker 10: you guys have a great day. We'll dodulated brother.
- 48:13Speaker 1: All right.
- 48:16Speaker 4: I think he said injuries. Does the injury situation affect
- 48:21Speaker 4: the decision that he makes? I don't think so. I
- 48:26Speaker 4: think it's unfortunate, But I I don't think so, because
- 48:32Speaker 4: if that's what you're asking, if you're asking, is he
- 48:34Speaker 4: gonna give him a new new contract next year because
- 48:39Speaker 4: of the injuries? No, I I again, I think the
- 48:41Speaker 4: injuries have have definitely hurt this team this year, but
- 48:45Speaker 4: there's other signs that that that haven't gone well that
- 48:49Speaker 4: I think he does have. There is something of his
- 48:52Speaker 4: control there. And so you know, and we've said, we've
- 48:58Speaker 4: we've talked about it before. You know, if if that's
- 49:00Speaker 4: if you really wanted to give him another contract, he
- 49:02Speaker 4: would have given it to him last year.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I mean, if you really wanted to do that.
- 49:06Speaker 4: So I think this was kind of a let's see
- 49:07Speaker 4: how it goes year, and it is obviously not going well,
- 49:11Speaker 4: so but we'll see. You know, everybody has time to
- 49:15Speaker 4: to change the change the narrative. A little bit of
- 49:17Speaker 4: time is certainly running out for this team, and time
- 49:20Speaker 4: is running out for this show as well. It's been
- 49:22Speaker 4: a great one. Appreciate all you guys calling in for
- 49:25Speaker 4: Chris Beam. I'm Nick Eatan. We will see you tomorrow
- 49:27Speaker 4: on Cowboys Storyline.
