- 0:57Speaker 4: calling open up the lines.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 0:59Speaker 4: I like to think of it as the other as
- 1:01Speaker 4: that we're getting new callers and building this thing as
- 1:05Speaker 4: we go here in season two of Cowboys Storyline. All right,
- 1:09Speaker 4: longer week with Houston the Monday night game. But it
- 1:13Speaker 4: won't really change as far as the schedule for the podcast.
- 1:17Speaker 4: We don't have a podcast on Monday, so we'll do
- 1:22Speaker 4: Friday will be our last show of the week. We
- 1:24Speaker 4: got a couple more shows to talk about it, talk
- 1:27Speaker 4: about any kind of news that pops up. So let's
- 1:29Speaker 4: get right to it here. Let's go to New Mexico.
- 1:31Speaker 4: Gary in New Mexico's first up?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Gary, what's up?
- 1:35Speaker 5: Hey?
- 1:35Speaker 6: Nick?
- 1:35Speaker 1: How are you good? How are you doing?
- 1:37Speaker 7: Hey?
- 1:38Speaker 6: Your show just proves that the Cowboys are America's team
- 1:41Speaker 6: because I was listening to it this week, and you
- 1:43Speaker 6: get calls from all over the country. Man.
- 1:45Speaker 4: Yeah, and out of the country. We had one from Poland,
- 1:48Speaker 4: and yeah, I mean it's awesome.
- 1:50Speaker 1: It is cool.
- 1:51Speaker 4: I used to kind of keep track of the states
- 1:53Speaker 4: and all that and like to see how many states
- 1:56Speaker 4: I mean that we're getting calls from. But yeah, it's
- 1:58Speaker 4: really cool. New Mexico is pretty strong. I would say
- 2:00Speaker 4: that pretty strong for the storyline.
- 2:03Speaker 6: Now this is Cowboy country out here in southern New Mexico.
- 2:06Speaker 6: And I just want to say, my wife really appreciates
- 2:09Speaker 6: your show because she could not care less about who
- 2:12Speaker 6: the Cowboys' third receiver was in nineteen seventy nine. So
- 2:16Speaker 6: you give me an outlet for that kind of stuff.
- 2:18Speaker 6: She just wanted me to tell you, thanks you for that.
- 2:20Speaker 6: Who was it but now hold on, now we're going
- 2:24Speaker 6: to get there because I got a trivia for you,
- 2:26Speaker 6: all right. All right, So I couldn't really think of
- 2:28Speaker 6: any Cowboy Texan related trivia question because the Texans are
- 2:31Speaker 6: still relatively new, you know. So let's go back to
- 2:35Speaker 6: the old Houston franchise, the Oilers. So, now this is
- 2:38Speaker 6: a tough trivia question, but it's a good one, okay.
- 2:41Speaker 6: So in nineteen eighty four, the Cowboys traded away a
- 2:45Speaker 6: very popular wide receiver, traded him to the Houston Oilers
- 2:49Speaker 6: in exchange for Mike Renfro and a fifth round draft pick.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Who was the wide receiver we traded and who did
- 2:56Speaker 6: we select with that fifth round pick?
- 2:59Speaker 4: So we Cowboys traded a receiver to the Oilers and
- 3:03Speaker 4: they got Mike Renfro.
- 3:06Speaker 6: Yeah, we swapped. We traded this guy to the Oilers
- 3:09Speaker 6: in exchange for Mike Renfro and a fifth round pick. Now,
- 3:12Speaker 6: the interesting side note of this, he wore very thin
- 3:15Speaker 6: with the Oilers. They traded him to Denver before the
- 3:18Speaker 6: eighty four season even started, and then he finished his
- 3:21Speaker 6: career with Denver. But this was a popular wide receiver
- 3:24Speaker 6: back during that time.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Butts Johnson, Yes, what's Johnson? Okay, Brits Johnson, and then
- 3:31Speaker 4: in the fifth round they didn't Hershelwalker.
- 3:36Speaker 6: That's exactly right, is it Hurst?
- 3:37Speaker 8: Hey?
- 3:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
- 3:38Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 3:39Speaker 6: They traded Butch Johnson for a fifth round pick in
- 3:41Speaker 6: the eighty five draft that they used to select her Walker.
- 3:44Speaker 6: I actually actually wrote a paper in a college class back,
- 3:47Speaker 6: I think in nineteen ninety four about why Butcher Johnson's
- 3:50Speaker 6: one of the most important players in Cowboys history because
- 3:53Speaker 6: he caught the big touchdown in Super Bowl twelve and
- 3:56Speaker 6: then they traded him away for who they got all
- 3:59Speaker 6: those picks.
- 4:00Speaker 4: I'm going to put air quotes here. Caught the touchdown,
- 4:05Speaker 4: that ball, that ball is still laying on the turf there.
- 4:09Speaker 6: By the rules of the day, that was a touchdown, brother,
- 4:12Speaker 6: that was a touchdown. Path I guess that was a touchdown.
- 4:15Speaker 8: Pat man.
- 4:16Speaker 6: Now here's a little side thing. Can you remember what
- 4:18Speaker 6: Butcher Johnson's touchdown celebration was? He had a little touchdown
- 4:22Speaker 6: celebration that he did.
- 4:23Speaker 1: What was it, California quake?
- 4:25Speaker 6: That's right, man, And I've got to bet my youngest daughter,
- 4:29Speaker 6: she just turned twenty one. I told her that if
- 4:32Speaker 6: the Cowboys ever get back to the Super Bowl, I
- 4:33Speaker 6: would do the California quake in public, So I don't
- 4:37Speaker 6: have to worry about that this year. But hopefully maybe
- 4:39Speaker 6: next year I can get up in front of the
- 4:41Speaker 6: congregation do the California quake. But just a real point
- 4:44Speaker 6: about this year's team, back to the president. You made
- 4:47Speaker 6: a great point on the radio the other day about
- 4:49Speaker 6: how you thought Cooper Rush got hurt when you recovered
- 4:52Speaker 6: that fumble, and Jerry Jones confirmed that the next day
- 4:55Speaker 6: on the fan. But if that's true, and I think
- 4:58Speaker 6: it was, okay, if you're a quarterback and you got
- 5:00Speaker 6: a strained neck, okay, that's going to affect how you
- 5:03Speaker 6: throw the football the rest of the game. And that's
- 5:05Speaker 6: going to affect how you call that game.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Of course.
- 5:10Speaker 6: Yeah, so we like to jump on the coaches and
- 5:13Speaker 6: throw them all under the bus, but we don't know everything,
- 5:16Speaker 6: and they're not going to get out there and make excuses.
- 5:19Speaker 6: But if he had a strained neck, that definitely affects
- 5:22Speaker 6: how he can play, and that I guarantee you that's true.
- 5:25Speaker 6: That definitely affect how McCarthy called that game. So again,
- 5:29Speaker 6: this season is what it is. They're not a very
- 5:31Speaker 6: good football team, right, now. But you know, let's let's
- 5:34Speaker 6: let's see how it plays out. Let's enjoy watching some
- 5:36Speaker 6: of these players and seeing what they can do. And
- 5:38Speaker 6: it's kind of fun to see some of these new guys.
- 5:41Speaker 6: One other thing, all this talk about tanking, I'm totally
- 5:45Speaker 6: against tanking. I want to see the best players play
- 5:49Speaker 6: their best and give everything they got because number one,
- 5:51Speaker 6: these guys are entertainers and people pay money to see him,
- 5:54Speaker 6: and they're paid a lot of money to perform. So
- 5:56Speaker 6: we need to see the best out there. We need
- 5:58Speaker 6: to see him putting out their best and just see
- 5:59Speaker 6: how plays out. We were about next year when next
- 6:02Speaker 6: year gets here, right.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Thank you for taking me all all right, Gary, I
- 6:05Speaker 4: appreciate that, and I agree with that. Not everyone does,
- 6:09Speaker 4: but that's okay. I do next year. I always look
- 6:12Speaker 4: at it like that, next year's next year. You get
- 6:14Speaker 4: the draft pick that you get. Don't necessarily play for
- 6:17Speaker 4: the draft pick. But yeah, and I think the reason
- 6:22Speaker 4: why is because I've been that kid that went to
- 6:26Speaker 4: games when I was ten years old, nine years old,
- 6:30Speaker 4: eight years old, thirteen years old, and I went in
- 6:33Speaker 4: the nineteen eighty nine season, went three games in nineteen
- 6:35Speaker 4: eighty nine and I went there and I was hoping
- 6:38Speaker 4: that they would win. They would win these games, and
- 6:41Speaker 4: so you know, you never you never know whose Christmas
- 6:45Speaker 4: present it is to go to a game and all that,
- 6:47Speaker 4: and I think for that reason, you know, you should
- 6:49Speaker 4: always try to try to win, and they try to
- 6:52Speaker 4: win the game. It's just that are they doing all
- 6:54Speaker 4: the things that they have to do, the organization, players, everything,
- 6:57Speaker 4: doing what they have to do to kind of put
- 6:59Speaker 4: themselves in position to go win it?
- 7:01Speaker 1: All right? Next caller is Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky.
- 7:05Speaker 1: All right, Nick, what's up?
- 7:07Speaker 10: Season's not over? Still eight games left? I agree they
- 7:10Speaker 10: need we need I mean that they could win six seven,
- 7:15Speaker 10: eight games. Who knows something? I heard that Rico is
- 7:23Speaker 10: the number two running back in the NFL and getting
- 7:27Speaker 10: beyond the sticks percentage sixty percent? Give the number one.
- 7:32Speaker 10: Do you think maybe they should give up this running
- 7:34Speaker 10: back back committee and just go Rico and blimkey fullback,
- 7:39Speaker 10: you know, old school Kimmt and Moose style and.
- 7:42Speaker 4: Just just yeah, what's the stat again?
- 7:48Speaker 1: What is that he's second?
- 7:50Speaker 6: And what.
- 7:52Speaker 10: Second? Getting beyond the sticks percentage? He's sixty percent. That
- 7:58Speaker 10: is second in the nf failed gives is number one.
- 8:02Speaker 11: Mm.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Okay, that's I heard that this morning. And maybe and
- 8:07Speaker 4: you know there's those all kinds of stats like that.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Now next Gen Stats has has a lot of things,
- 8:11Speaker 4: and I I don't think I've ever seen that one
- 8:14Speaker 4: or heard it or you know, that's that's cool. I mean,
- 8:18Speaker 4: he's he's he's like thirty second in rushing in like
- 8:22Speaker 4: the league or something, you know, or whatever that is,
- 8:24Speaker 4: so like you could make stats anything any way you
- 8:27Speaker 4: want him, I get. I guess your point though, is
- 8:29Speaker 4: more opportunities could lead to to more things. Yeah, I mean,
- 8:34Speaker 4: I do think the running back by Committee has has failed.
- 8:37Speaker 4: I mean that that hasn't That hasn't worked because none
- 8:40Speaker 4: of the guys in the committee. You know, it's not
- 8:43Speaker 4: just the committee, it's it's the players though in it
- 8:46Speaker 4: because I because I do think it works with Montgomery Gibbs,
- 8:50Speaker 4: I mean that that running back by Committee seems to
- 8:52Speaker 4: be working really well over there, So it's it's the players.
- 8:56Speaker 4: But I do think that your best running back by
- 8:59Speaker 4: far right now is Codaules as a pass catcher.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And a runner.
- 9:02Speaker 4: And uh and you know, and I think that that
- 9:05Speaker 4: they should and they will keep giving him more carries
- 9:08Speaker 4: they should.
- 9:09Speaker 10: I mean, he's not gonna be on a roster next year.
- 9:12Speaker 10: I mean, it just just go straight up those two.
- 9:16Speaker 10: My other question, real quick, linebacker room, do they need
- 9:20Speaker 10: to address this in the draft? I mean Clark's Clarks
- 9:25Speaker 10: had like been in like one hundred and sixty snaps.
- 9:29Speaker 10: Uh so, I mean, yeah, like I said, eight games left,
- 9:33Speaker 10: he could turn it around. But if he doesn't, do
- 9:36Speaker 10: we need to or do we need to look next year? Okay,
- 9:39Speaker 10: we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to do something
- 9:41Speaker 10: else on linebacker, no doubt.
- 9:43Speaker 4: I mean, it's not just Demon Clark who's not playing.
- 9:45Speaker 4: It's I mean Eric Kendricks is not. I think it's
- 9:48Speaker 4: just a one year deal for him. I wouldn't I wouldn't,
- 9:52Speaker 4: you know, I'd be surprised if he's back next year.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Again, it's early.
- 9:55Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's tough to tell on what what's
- 9:58Speaker 4: gonna happen with with the coaching half and all that.
- 10:00Speaker 4: But you know, just look at the guys that are
- 10:03Speaker 4: under contract and not under contract next year. The linebacker
- 10:06Speaker 4: room does seem like you're gonna have to make some
- 10:08Speaker 4: changes there now, you know.
- 10:09Speaker 1: I'd like to see.
- 10:11Speaker 4: I think as the season continues to go here and
- 10:13Speaker 4: and if the Cowboys are not in the playoff picture,
- 10:16Speaker 4: Marrius Leafal needs to play a lot more. I'd like
- 10:19Speaker 4: to see him kind of grow up on the run
- 10:21Speaker 4: here as with some of these young guys. But yeah, linebacker,
- 10:25Speaker 4: I mean you've got over shown it and Leah foul,
- 10:28Speaker 4: but you're gonna have to get some other guys in
- 10:30Speaker 4: here for for you know, for depth purposes.
- 10:34Speaker 10: Thanks for taking apartment.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Thanks Michael, good stuff.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Uh those are the kind of questions I really like
- 10:41Speaker 4: because it shows that he's doing some research. He's looking
- 10:44Speaker 4: at stats. Listen to stop thinking bringing it to the show. Uh,
- 10:48Speaker 4: that's a stat I really haven't heard before. Again, you
- 10:51Speaker 4: can a lot of the the beat writers like to
- 10:55Speaker 4: make jokes on the fact that you can make any
- 10:58Speaker 4: stat you know, into anything. So when you said Rico
- 11:00Speaker 4: Daddle rings second in the NFL, and I'm just like,
- 11:03Speaker 4: where are we going with this? Because I mean, he's
- 11:05Speaker 4: not second in a lot of things. But that's that's interesting,
- 11:10Speaker 4: you know, and that that's where the analytics come into play.
- 11:12Speaker 4: That that you know, maybe with different different plan different situations,
- 11:15Speaker 4: different things around him, that that guys can be different.
- 11:18Speaker 4: I think that that's a good stat to show that
- 11:20Speaker 4: that he does need to play a little bit more.
- 11:22Speaker 4: He's got to do his job too. He's got to
- 11:23Speaker 4: hang onto the football. I know he fumbled once there
- 11:26Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh. He's got to hang onto the ball. He's
- 11:28Speaker 4: got to make sure his blocking assignments are good. But
- 11:30Speaker 4: if he can, he can do that, I think he's
- 11:32Speaker 4: a he's a back that's starting to, you know, really
- 11:34Speaker 4: get into his rhythm. You'd like to see that happen
- 11:37Speaker 4: a little earlier in the season, but I think the cowboy,
- 11:39Speaker 4: you know, the coaching staff and and and the personnel.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That's part of that is that they you know, they they.
- 11:45Speaker 4: They've tried what five different options here on how to
- 11:48Speaker 4: make this work. All right, Robbie and Koco Beach, Florida.
- 11:52Speaker 1: What's up? What's up?
- 11:55Speaker 12: I got a question from what we talked about yesterday.
- 11:58Speaker 12: If you remember, I said it was nice to see
- 12:00Speaker 12: that ud still had that fight and everybody was still fighting. Yeah,
- 12:04Speaker 12: and you said it's important that they don't give up
- 12:07Speaker 12: that fight during the week. Yeah, you think McCarthy's lost
- 12:10Speaker 12: the team and we're and we've given up the fight
- 12:11Speaker 12: during the now don't see the practices, and it doesn't
- 12:14Speaker 12: sound like it.
- 12:15Speaker 1: I don't think he's lost the team. I don't. I don't.
- 12:17Speaker 4: I don't think he's lost the team. But I you know,
- 12:19Speaker 4: I do think that that they you know, they're continuing
- 12:23Speaker 4: to fight. But I don't think that they're they're one
- 12:27Speaker 4: way or another. I don't think that they're they're preparing
- 12:30Speaker 4: like they need to. And that could be the coaches, players,
- 12:33Speaker 4: that's combination of everything. I don't think it's necessarily lost
- 12:36Speaker 4: the team that I look at that as I don't
- 12:38Speaker 4: care what you say, it doesn't matter, you're not going
- 12:40Speaker 4: to be here whatever. I don't think it's that kind
- 12:42Speaker 4: of disrespect. But I think it's more that they're whatever,
- 12:45Speaker 4: that they're doing. Their prep work isn't It hasn't been great,
- 12:49Speaker 4: I mean, but they they think it is. They're going
- 12:52Speaker 4: to continue to take the football when they keep winning
- 12:55Speaker 4: these tosses and they keep taking the football, and for
- 13:00Speaker 4: what I mean, it is not work.
- 13:02Speaker 1: It's not work.
- 13:03Speaker 4: They have not scored a touchdown I harp on to
- 13:05Speaker 4: this point, but they have not scored a touchdown to
- 13:08Speaker 4: open the first quarter or the third quarter all year. Long,
- 13:11Speaker 4: they don't take the ball and go score and they
- 13:13Speaker 4: barely even get a field goal.
- 13:14Speaker 12: So it's not last year we were so good at
- 13:17Speaker 12: scoring in the last two minutes, the opening drive and
- 13:20Speaker 12: then the opening drive in the third quarter. That's where
- 13:22Speaker 12: we were crushing people.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Yeah, now the last two the last two minutes to
- 13:27Speaker 4: me is that's that goes with the familiarity of your quarterback,
- 13:30Speaker 4: you know, if you're your quarterback in the system, because
- 13:32Speaker 4: he's really calling the place for the most part there
- 13:34Speaker 4: in the two minute drill and so uh and and
- 13:37Speaker 4: so I put some of that on deck too, like
- 13:39Speaker 4: they didn't have that command here in the at the
- 13:42Speaker 4: end of the half like we've seen before.
- 13:47Speaker 12: Yeah, hey, well listen man, I'll call again.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Before the end of the week.
- 13:50Speaker 12: My prediction. And I uh, I just want to shout
- 13:53Speaker 12: out to you and Beam and especially Beams, not that
- 13:55Speaker 12: you don't do your job very well, but Chris doesn't
- 13:58Speaker 12: get enough love for all this stuff he does.
- 14:00Speaker 7: I know he's back there.
- 14:01Speaker 12: With all the shows and always working and he's got
- 14:03Speaker 12: four phone calls going on and doing one ear and us.
- 14:06Speaker 7: And the other.
- 14:06Speaker 12: So appreciates Chris Nick.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Yeah, well, if you if you saw the contract that
- 14:11Speaker 4: they have for him. I mean it's like a multi
- 14:13Speaker 4: year deal, incentives and stuff like that.
- 14:15Speaker 1: He's rolling in the money. He's good. Chris is good.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I'm kidding's that's an l L.
- 14:20Speaker 4: I just got a straight up lol. He potted himself
- 14:23Speaker 4: up to laugh out loud.
- 14:25Speaker 1: I love it. I'm kidding.
- 14:26Speaker 4: You're right, though, Robbie, You're You're one hundred percent right.
- 14:29Speaker 4: He's doing he does all these shows and uh, the
- 14:33Speaker 4: team back there with with Josh and and and Jasmine.
- 14:37Speaker 4: They do a great job with with all the podcasts.
- 14:39Speaker 4: But Chris, yeah, outstanding work, and especially on this show
- 14:42Speaker 4: because he the phone. I mean, as he's potting himself off,
- 14:44Speaker 4: you could hear the phone ringing, you know, as soon
- 14:47Speaker 4: as soon as someone hangs up, it's ringing. So I
- 14:49Speaker 4: appreciate that Chris is doing a great job. Travis and
- 14:53Speaker 4: san Antonio, what's up, man, what's going on?
- 14:56Speaker 1: How are you?
- 14:58Speaker 11: I was on hold. But I'm gonna I'm just to
- 15:00Speaker 11: just say I think Chris deserves a race. I'm just
- 15:02Speaker 11: gonna put it out there in the end of the ether.
- 15:05Speaker 1: There go, there you go.
- 15:07Speaker 4: I'm not going to talk to one of his four
- 15:09Speaker 4: bosses and see what they think about that.
- 15:12Speaker 1: That's another laugh.
- 15:13Speaker 11: Yeah, hey tell them they can call me all right.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I just wanted to.
- 15:19Speaker 11: I didn't have much, honestly, Nick More, you know, I'm
- 15:23Speaker 11: an outside the box guy, but I do want to
- 15:25Speaker 11: and I have one thing for you to consider. And
- 15:26Speaker 11: I know it's it's bigger picture and we're not totally
- 15:30Speaker 11: it's like go in that direction.
- 15:32Speaker 1: You can say whatever.
- 15:33Speaker 11: Well, okay, So the one thing I did want to
- 15:36Speaker 11: respond to, I think it was Friday. I think Albert
- 15:40Speaker 11: was the name, and it's with it's with all due respect,
- 15:42Speaker 11: but I did want to respond at least and kind
- 15:44Speaker 11: of say, like, I know he was talking about you know,
- 15:47Speaker 11: we always know, you always mentioned it. There's you don't
- 15:49Speaker 11: want to tell people how to fan it. I'm not
- 15:50Speaker 11: going to tell anybody like if you think we still
- 15:53Speaker 11: have hope, like more power to you is what I
- 15:55Speaker 11: always say.
- 15:56Speaker 10: Cool.
- 15:57Speaker 11: I think the season has been over personally, but that
- 15:59Speaker 11: does doesn't mean that you're not a fan, like you know,
- 16:01Speaker 11: I think he was saying like either support us or
- 16:04Speaker 11: or leave it. You know, I watch I haven't missed
- 16:07Speaker 11: the game this year. I think anybody that's calling it
- 16:09Speaker 11: a storyline is I think you would agree as a
- 16:12Speaker 11: hardcore or a diehard fan. Yeah, So I just wanted
- 16:15Speaker 11: to say that because I don't I don't think you
- 16:17Speaker 11: have to pick the team to win seventeen games every
- 16:19Speaker 11: year to be a diehard fan. I don't think that's
- 16:22Speaker 11: the that's the the marker for it. Teach it, like
- 16:25Speaker 11: I said, like you always say, teach his own. Like,
- 16:27Speaker 11: I'm not going to tell anybody, Hey, you have to.
- 16:29Speaker 11: Everybody has a different point in the season where they go, Okay,
- 16:32Speaker 11: it's you know, they come to that realization, right, So
- 16:34Speaker 11: you let everybody come to that on their own. But
- 16:36Speaker 11: my big picture idea for you, because that's what I do.
- 16:40Speaker 11: I'm thinking about this season. You know how we've had
- 16:42Speaker 11: issues at safety. My thought is it's very rare, but
- 16:48Speaker 11: occasionally you have a cornerback, right that can slide back
- 16:52Speaker 11: and play safety. It happened with Charles Woodson, who's I know,
- 16:55Speaker 11: he's a Hall of Famer and whatnot, but there are
- 16:57Speaker 11: a few other guys that did that. I'm curious and
- 17:00Speaker 11: I don't know if they've ever thought of this, but
- 17:02Speaker 11: I'm curious. I'm kind of intrigued by the idea if
- 17:04Speaker 11: they do change up the safety room going into next year.
- 17:08Speaker 11: If you were to find another cornerback, for instance, if
- 17:10Speaker 11: you were able to move Land back inside and Carson
- 17:12Speaker 11: did bounce back next year, I'm kind of curious if
- 17:14Speaker 11: you would agree that. I think Jordan Lewis, with him
- 17:18Speaker 11: being one of the better tacklers on the team still
- 17:20Speaker 11: being able to run and cover, I'm kind of curious
- 17:23Speaker 11: if they could use him in a safety role next year,
- 17:26Speaker 11: just because you know, typically when the cornerbacks do slow
- 17:28Speaker 11: down a little bit, they can still play back there.
- 17:31Speaker 11: And I think with his tackling ability, he hits above
- 17:33Speaker 11: his weight and he still runs really well. I'm just
- 17:36Speaker 11: kind of curious and intrigued by I wonder if somebody
- 17:40Speaker 11: might look at that and go, you know what, I
- 17:41Speaker 11: wonder if he could play you know, safety back there.
- 17:44Speaker 11: So I just want to see you thought about that.
- 17:45Speaker 11: Other than that, again, love the show, you guys rock.
- 17:49Speaker 11: So yeah, I'll have a good week.
- 17:50Speaker 4: Thank you well, Travis. Jordan Lewis has played a little
- 17:53Speaker 4: safety this year. There was a game. It was at home.
- 17:58Speaker 4: I can't remember exactly, but they they I'll take it back.
- 18:02Speaker 4: It was right before I think it was Atlanta. The
- 18:06Speaker 4: in the Atlanta game, they they they moved him a
- 18:08Speaker 4: little bit. He was playing some safety out there, So
- 18:13Speaker 4: it's not it's not a foreign thing, I mean for him.
- 18:16Speaker 4: So yeah, he could do it. Now you look at
- 18:18Speaker 4: him and you say, from a size standpoint, tackling, Yeah,
- 18:21Speaker 4: he's a tackler for his size, but usually it's against
- 18:27Speaker 4: slot receivers and other receivers. But at safety, you know,
- 18:31Speaker 4: your your job. Sometimes they get to that next level
- 18:35Speaker 4: and you've got to bring down the running backs and
- 18:37Speaker 4: and and take on the lead blockers and things like that.
- 18:40Speaker 1: You're right.
- 18:41Speaker 4: Safeties are cover guys that that are maybe a step slower,
- 18:45Speaker 4: but they're also supposed to be really good with awareness,
- 18:48Speaker 4: and he's good with it. He's good there, so that
- 18:50Speaker 4: it's not just corner Uh that's a little bit, you know,
- 18:54Speaker 4: a little a little slower in his in his uh,
- 18:57Speaker 4: in his you know, running ability. Now it's it's it's
- 19:00Speaker 4: a guy that understands what the coverages, understands where to be,
- 19:04Speaker 4: how to line people up. He could do all of that,
- 19:07Speaker 4: and I think I think you would now his thing.
- 19:09Speaker 4: I think he's on another one year deal too. I
- 19:11Speaker 4: think he's been on like four or five in a row.
- 19:13Speaker 4: So next year's plans for him. You know, it's hard.
- 19:16Speaker 4: It's hard to say, but not a bad thought because,
- 19:21Speaker 4: like I said, they've actually done it. Let's go to

- 21:30Speaker 2: How are you doing today?
- 21:31Speaker 8: Right?
- 21:32Speaker 1: What do you got for us?
- 21:34Speaker 2: Hey? Sunshining? Things as beautiful as my daughter's birthday.
- 21:36Speaker 8: So happy birthday to little Halo. She turns to today
- 21:40Speaker 8: full effect.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Oh well, let me just tell you. It goes all
- 21:43Speaker 4: the way to like four or five. I don't know
- 21:45Speaker 4: who's decided to stop it at too. It's like it's
- 21:49Speaker 4: it's it's about two to three four. But anyways, she
- 21:51Speaker 4: sounds like a princess. So I bet you you're great.
- 21:54Speaker 4: That's awesome, man, that's awesome.
- 21:56Speaker 2: I love it, love it that my first daughter was
- 21:58Speaker 2: such a piece.
- 21:59Speaker 8: She was so sweet.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I was like, what happened? This is stay back? But yeah,
- 22:03Speaker 2: and how I'm just calling and say, you know, of
- 22:06Speaker 2: course I down to wish my veterans, my fellow brothers
- 22:08Speaker 2: in arms, you know, happy Veterans Day. I couldn't get
- 22:10Speaker 2: through that day. Shout out to brothers and sisters in arms.
- 22:13Speaker 2: And then secondly, you know, at this point in the season,
- 22:16Speaker 2: we kind of know what this team is. And the
- 22:18Speaker 2: crazy part is we don't know what the team is,
- 22:20Speaker 2: but you know, fan, how you fan at this point
- 22:24Speaker 2: if you want to get off the train like that,
- 22:25Speaker 2: say get off the train.
- 22:26Speaker 15: It makes sense.
- 22:27Speaker 2: It's okay to be frustrated and irritated and all that stuff.
- 22:30Speaker 2: But if you're in a cheerfum cheer for him. And
- 22:32Speaker 2: I still cheer for the guys every time they take
- 22:34Speaker 2: the field, no matter what the record looks like. And
- 22:37Speaker 2: I was hearing a little thing in the Power Rank
- 22:38Speaker 2: is where they're talking about the teams that made it
- 22:40Speaker 2: through for three and six last year to make it.
- 22:42Speaker 2: I don't know if you used to that type of team,
- 22:44Speaker 2: but the question that I had for you is this
- 22:46Speaker 2: with say we slip one more game, you know, if,
- 22:49Speaker 2: but God forbid, we slip.
- 22:51Speaker 11: Another game in a row?
- 22:52Speaker 2: Right, do you go to Trey Lance to see what
- 22:56Speaker 2: we have? I believe you's on this last year of
- 22:58Speaker 2: his contract, right, we really need to see what he is.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Is he a bargainship for a trade? Do we sign
- 23:04Speaker 2: him as a backup? You know, we know what Cooper
- 23:06Speaker 2: Rush is already. I really want to know what we
- 23:09Speaker 2: have in him, what they've been working with him so
- 23:11Speaker 2: much this whole time for and outside of that, you know,
- 23:17Speaker 2: Mike got dealt a very hard hand. What I would
- 23:19Speaker 2: blame ms McCarthy for is some of his game management
- 23:23Speaker 2: and some of the ill preparedness seemingly that his team
- 23:25Speaker 2: went through this year. But this is a tough hand
- 23:28Speaker 2: to get dealt, and some of this falls on the
- 23:29Speaker 2: front office. So I'm wondering if they do extend him
- 23:32Speaker 2: for the last year of the contract since your quarterback
- 23:34Speaker 2: goes down, or if there are no more excuses, because
- 23:36Speaker 2: I think a lot of what fans feel goes back
- 23:39Speaker 2: to the Jason Garrett administration, goes back to the way
- 23:41Speaker 2: Phillips administration, it goes back to when I became a
- 23:44Speaker 2: Cowboys fan in like the earlier two thousand because I've
- 23:46Speaker 2: only been a fan of two thousand and eight, so
- 23:47Speaker 2: this is all I've really known. I've never seen us
- 23:50Speaker 2: go to the playoffs or the NF Championship Game or
- 23:52Speaker 2: anything like that. We've been this team that's been a
- 23:55Speaker 2: very good team, very talked about team, and then a
- 23:58Speaker 2: frustrating playoff team. So I don't know how we go
- 24:00Speaker 2: forward and build off of this year. But we got
- 24:03Speaker 2: a lot of unanswered questions going into nine more games
- 24:06Speaker 2: that we need to answer those questions. And you guys
- 24:07Speaker 2: have a great day. As always again, Happy birthday to
- 24:10Speaker 2: my beautiful daughter, and thank you so much taking my car.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Thank you all right, Sebastian appreciate that.
- 24:17Speaker 4: Yeah, you know it's you could make the argument, I
- 24:21Speaker 4: mean that, yeah, this season isn't going like like they thought.
- 24:24Speaker 4: But I mean, if if if the Cowboys and Jerry Jones,
- 24:32Speaker 4: Stephen Jones, I mean, if they if they're going to
- 24:35Speaker 4: go off of that and call this season kind of
- 24:39Speaker 4: a wash, then then they should have given him a contract.
- 24:42Speaker 4: You know, there's no slary cap for that, so you
- 24:44Speaker 4: you could give them a contract if they wanted to.
- 24:47Speaker 4: They didn't want to, and so I wanted to see
- 24:50Speaker 4: how this one plays out. Well, look how it's playing out.
- 24:52Speaker 4: I mean, seems like the writing's on the wall there.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, you know why.
- 24:57Speaker 4: Because it's like the benefit of the dat is going
- 25:01Speaker 4: twelve and five three years in a row. That that's
- 25:02Speaker 4: the benefit of the doubt. So you know, that should
- 25:06Speaker 4: have been enough to to to extend there.
- 25:08Speaker 1: So I don't.
- 25:09Speaker 4: I don't see. I don't see an extension here. I mean,
- 25:12Speaker 4: Jerry can do what he wants, but I don't see
- 25:14Speaker 4: that because I mean, they would have done that before that.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Nothing you've seen this year, and again it's it's a
- 25:20Speaker 4: it's everything. It's it's it's injuries, it's it's the players
- 25:24Speaker 4: not executing. It's the coaching staff as well. I mean,
- 25:28Speaker 4: you know if you can, it's the play calling. It's
- 25:31Speaker 4: a lot of these things, really is. So it's it's
- 25:34Speaker 4: not just one thing, but when you're the head coach,
- 25:36Speaker 4: it all kind of falls under you. All right, let's
- 25:39Speaker 4: go to Anthony and Miami.
- 25:42Speaker 8: Nick the quick, what's up, my god?
- 25:44Speaker 1: How are you doing.
- 25:46Speaker 8: I'm doing pretty good, riding around, taking care of some
- 25:49Speaker 8: of some things and stuff like that. How you, Nate.
- 25:54Speaker 1: I'm great, I'm wonderful.
- 25:57Speaker 8: That's a good thing. That's out freaking standing. Listen, I'm gonna,
- 26:04Speaker 8: as I call I talk about the games. That's why
- 26:08Speaker 8: I call them thy. I give you analysis on the
- 26:10Speaker 8: upcoming game and be as positive as I can every
- 26:13Speaker 8: week and tell you how we can win the game,
- 26:16Speaker 8: not how we can lose the game or gonna lose
- 26:19Speaker 8: the game. So I'm gonna put that on the back burner.
- 26:22Speaker 8: I'm gonna just say this much. People may think I'm
- 26:27Speaker 8: the happiest guy in the world when it comes to
- 26:28Speaker 8: the Cowboys. I love the Cowboys. I'm pretty much biased
- 26:32Speaker 8: when it comes to the Cowboys. But I'm not unrealistic.
- 26:34Speaker 8: I play football in college. I know a lot of
- 26:36Speaker 8: people that play ball. We have a lot of problems
- 26:39Speaker 8: and issues, yes we do. But the talks that I
- 26:43Speaker 8: hear sometimes from the fans, and that's who I'm aiming
- 26:45Speaker 8: this at. And I'm not I'm not telling anybody how
- 26:48Speaker 8: to be a fan, definitely not, but being a fan
- 26:52Speaker 8: with some of the fans and getting lumped into that
- 26:54Speaker 8: all the time when it's always negativity from outside people.
- 26:57Speaker 8: TV show people this and that. That's not fair us man.
- 27:00Speaker 8: I've been to a lot of games too from Miami,
- 27:03Speaker 8: a whole lot. We'll get into that one day, and
- 27:06Speaker 8: you know there's things we got to work on. You
- 27:08Speaker 8: just said it. And the thing this year after three
- 27:12Speaker 8: twenty five, this year injury set you back, playing a
- 27:16Speaker 8: lot of rookies. This and that coaching staff, a lot
- 27:19Speaker 8: of problems there players. So we don't give up the sandel.
- 27:23Speaker 8: Let's let's still support these Cowboys, good and bad. We
- 27:26Speaker 8: got the weather, the storm, the sun can always shine.
- 27:28Speaker 8: So that's what I'm doing. That's all I'm saying that's
- 27:31Speaker 8: what I'm doing, good or bad, happy you or sad.
- 27:34Speaker 8: I am a cowboy for life, so I take the
- 27:36Speaker 8: good with the bad. Make my analysis as I go,
- 27:38Speaker 8: but I'm not jumping off nothing now, the Houston Texas,
- 27:41Speaker 8: I gave you two twenty six twenty scores in the room.
- 27:46Speaker 8: If Cooper rush, now, if the Lion can they kind
- 27:49Speaker 8: of held up last week. But if we can get
- 27:51Speaker 8: that pass and came on and I don't know where
- 27:52Speaker 8: they were throwing the ball at last week, but and
- 27:54Speaker 8: that running Rico them can run like that again, and
- 27:56Speaker 8: that defense shows up like that again, I'm gonna take
- 27:59Speaker 8: that same score for the third time. Trackstrikeout twenty six
- 28:02Speaker 8: twenty Cowboys over Houston. Real fans, any fans just to
- 28:07Speaker 8: be a fan of your team, don't ever say you're
- 28:09Speaker 8: gonna jump off this.
- 28:10Speaker 1: And that you're just fans.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Man.
- 28:11Speaker 8: Let Jermy fix this. So I'll talk to you all
- 28:14Speaker 8: right next week.
- 28:15Speaker 4: All right, Anthey, appreciate you, bro, appreciate you, thank you
- 28:17Speaker 4: for the call. Sticking with righting with that twenty six
- 28:20Speaker 4: to twenty. You know the thing about Houston, uh, you
- 28:23Speaker 4: know the Cowboys have to keep this thing close throughout
- 28:27Speaker 4: you know, obviously throughout the game. You know, they're not
- 28:30Speaker 4: gonna be making a furious comeback here. But Houston's played
- 28:34Speaker 4: ten games this year. Eight of them have been one
- 28:38Speaker 4: score games, and five of those games have been three
- 28:40Speaker 4: points or less. So they they are playing close games.
- 28:43Speaker 4: They're not winning all of them either. I mean, they
- 28:45Speaker 4: they've had some last second losses here, they've had some
- 28:48Speaker 4: last second win so they they are playing some a
- 28:50Speaker 4: lot of these close games. They're used to it, and
- 28:53Speaker 4: and that's where, you know, obviously the Cowboys are gonna
- 28:56Speaker 4: have to keep it close throughout the game, and so
- 29:00Speaker 4: that defensive effort was keeping that game close for Philadelphia.
- 29:04Speaker 4: I mean that second down run that the Cowboys, I'm sorry,
- 29:09Speaker 4: the second down pass, the one that we've seen with
- 29:12Speaker 4: the sun and two guys running in the exact same
- 29:15Speaker 4: spot for the sunlight. And the worst part about that
- 29:18Speaker 4: play for me was the actual call to throw it
- 29:21Speaker 4: because running the ball there, you know, as long as
- 29:25Speaker 4: you hang on to the football, but running the ball
- 29:27Speaker 4: there forces Philly to call another time out, and then
- 29:30Speaker 4: or they don't, and then the clock you know, runs
- 29:33Speaker 4: forty seconds down even further, you know, So Philadelphia called
- 29:37Speaker 4: their last time out with thirty seconds to go, So
- 29:39Speaker 4: if you could have you could have trimmed that down.
- 29:42Speaker 4: You're probably talking about if you run the ball there,
- 29:45Speaker 4: if even if you don't score, you're probably talking about
- 29:48Speaker 4: a ten to six halftime deficit. Again, I know what
- 29:52Speaker 4: happened in the second half, but it's all about keeping
- 29:55Speaker 4: keeping it close, giving yourself a chance to win it.
- 29:58Speaker 4: You have a good kicker, you can do that. And
- 30:00Speaker 4: that's what the Cowboys have to do. And I think
- 30:02Speaker 4: Houston's the type of team they can do that against.
- 30:04Speaker 4: But they better play with some pride and and and
- 30:07Speaker 4: they better learn how to play, you know, with a
- 30:10Speaker 4: with a fan. You know, Houston will have some fans.
- 30:12Speaker 4: I mean, what else are they gonna cheer about? I
- 30:14Speaker 4: mean the six and four season, this is a this
- 30:16Speaker 4: is you know, a banner year for them. So here
- 30:19Speaker 4: they are and and and they've never won at at
- 30:22Speaker 4: and T Stadium, so and they certainly know that. So
- 30:25Speaker 4: it'll it'll be a lot of fans here. They'll be
- 30:27Speaker 4: trying to come in there. And Cowboys they've they've never
- 30:31Speaker 4: the last time they've went zero to five to start
- 30:34Speaker 4: at home was nineteen eighty nine when they lost them all.
- 30:36Speaker 4: So let's don't let's don't compare that one. All right,
- 30:39Speaker 4: let's go to Brian and Ville Platt's Louisiana.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Said, right, am I saying that?
- 30:45Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right?
- 30:46Speaker 1: Where's that at?
- 30:48Speaker 15: Uh? In between a say, in between Lafayette, Louisiana and
- 30:55Speaker 15: Alexandria Lewis.
- 30:57Speaker 1: The way you pause sounds like this villa nowhere. That's
- 30:59Speaker 1: what it is.
- 31:01Speaker 4: Now, that's awesome. Well, fun fact I was actually born
- 31:05Speaker 4: in Louisiana. Most people don't know that I was born in.
- 31:06Speaker 15: Streetport, Okay, Yeah, about three hours from here.
- 31:11Speaker 1: The first time calling, right, Brian, second time.
- 31:14Speaker 15: My second time getting in. I've called a couple of
- 31:16Speaker 15: times I couldn't get in, but this is the second
- 31:17Speaker 15: time I got in.
- 31:18Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna give it to you.
- 31:20Speaker 4: I don't remember saying Bill Platt, So I like it.
- 31:22Speaker 1: What's up, man, Hey.
- 31:25Speaker 15: I just got a question about the Like, I know,
- 31:28Speaker 15: everybody's talking about McCarthy and possibly Dallas moving on from him,
- 31:34Speaker 15: and so I just feel like, you know, maybe one
- 31:37Speaker 15: of the things that I think that's kind of missing
- 31:39Speaker 15: it that that that spot is having somebody who has
- 31:42Speaker 15: really lot a really good way of influencing players to
- 31:46Speaker 15: play for each other, because you know, you see that
- 31:49Speaker 15: in Detroit, you see that maybe for Casey, you see
- 31:53Speaker 15: it for Mike Tomlin and uh even Nico Rodger.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Was talking about.
- 32:00Speaker 15: The Texas earlier. I just think that, you know, maybe
- 32:04Speaker 15: since Bill and Jimmy, you really didn't have a coach
- 32:06Speaker 15: that the players just really wanted to play for. Because
- 32:09Speaker 15: I mean, I think even though McCartney had three good seasons,
- 32:12Speaker 15: I think players like Quinn and more than they like him.
- 32:17Speaker 15: So you know, to me, I just think that, you know,
- 32:20Speaker 15: who would you think would be that type of coach
- 32:24Speaker 15: that would come in that would have a little bit
- 32:25Speaker 15: of influence whereas the guys would just want to want
- 32:28Speaker 15: to die for go to war with.
- 32:33Speaker 4: Again, Brian, we don't, I don't. I'm not going to
- 32:36Speaker 4: talk about specific names. I can tell you that, you know,
- 32:39Speaker 4: just because and I know that that you know you
- 32:42Speaker 4: don't call all the time, and I've said this people
- 32:44Speaker 4: that have heard that. I just it's a respect thing
- 32:47Speaker 4: for me. Every everybody, everybody gets replaced in their job,
- 32:53Speaker 4: and when that happens, when when that job is open,
- 32:56Speaker 4: then I'll be all about talking about who I think
- 32:58Speaker 4: would be good candidates and all that.
- 33:00Speaker 1: It's just a it's just a respect thing. In this building.
- 33:03Speaker 4: You don't understand exactly the layout of where we sit,
- 33:06Speaker 4: where where my office is. Coach McCarthy walks by it
- 33:09Speaker 4: every day for his press garments and then walks back.
- 33:11Speaker 4: I I don't I don't feel comfortable talking about who
- 33:14Speaker 4: I think should replace him. I think he needs to
- 33:17Speaker 4: focus on and he is focus on beating Houston this week.
- 33:20Speaker 4: That's all he can do is try to go win
- 33:22Speaker 4: this game. Uh we we see the writing on the wall.
- 33:25Speaker 4: I just said it in the last call. I mean
- 33:27Speaker 4: I just said it that. You know, they they could
- 33:30Speaker 4: have they could have given him a contract if they
- 33:32Speaker 4: wanted to. So the writing is on the wall and
- 33:34Speaker 4: where you know what the future looks like at this point.
- 33:38Speaker 4: The type of coach that I think Jerry has always
- 33:42Speaker 4: looked at is having someone with with with something you've
- 33:45Speaker 4: had to have some success, so first year coaches. You know,
- 33:49Speaker 4: he did that with Chan Gaily and he had a
- 33:53Speaker 4: quick cook on that, and he did it with with
- 33:56Speaker 4: Dave Campo, even though he's been around as as an
- 33:59Speaker 4: assistant and been around this place. But I think it's
- 34:02Speaker 4: it would be somebody that's had some success, whether you
- 34:05Speaker 4: be a lot in college, some in the pro but
- 34:08Speaker 4: but mainly some in the NFL, you know. And yeah,
- 34:12Speaker 4: but you it's those guys aren't hard to They're hard
- 34:15Speaker 4: to find. They have a lot of success that are
- 34:17Speaker 4: available that also, you know, demand and command the respect.
- 34:23Speaker 1: So not easy to see.
- 34:24Speaker 4: If the Cowboys go down that road, man, that'll be
- 34:27Speaker 4: a fun show to talk about. I hope you guys
- 34:29Speaker 4: understand the sensitivity that it is there, you know, And
- 34:33Speaker 4: it's not just this coach. Some of my best friends
- 34:36Speaker 4: in the world are coaches. They are living and dying
- 34:39Speaker 4: with this every single day, and it's it's tough. It's
- 34:42Speaker 4: a challenge to sit here on this chair and be like,
- 34:46Speaker 4: ah this, you know, get rid of this guy. That's
- 34:48Speaker 4: not for me. Y'all can do it, That's fine. I
- 34:51Speaker 4: I'd rather not.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Okay, appreciate it.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry about that. I appreciate the call, Brian, and guys,
- 35:00Speaker 4: this is where it gets. This is where it's tough
- 35:02Speaker 4: to toe the line.
- 35:03Speaker 1: It really is.
- 35:04Speaker 4: I hope you guys understand that that that I've said
- 35:08Speaker 4: it millions of times on this show will not millions.
- 35:10Speaker 4: But I say a lot that is, this is y'all's show,
- 35:14Speaker 4: so y'all can talk about certain things, and y'all you
- 35:18Speaker 4: can throw different things out. I'd like to see this
- 35:20Speaker 4: and that, and I could cool noted and and I'm
- 35:24Speaker 4: fine doing that. I'm fine letting y'all open up the
- 35:27Speaker 4: floor for y'all to do that. As far as some
- 35:30Speaker 4: of the topics for me to talk about, it's a
- 35:32Speaker 4: little premature for me, but but not not necessarily for y'all.
- 35:36Speaker 4: I hope you understand their respect there all right, Eric
- 35:39Speaker 4: in Client Texas.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Hey, Nick, how you doing?
- 35:43Speaker 9: Good man?
- 35:44Speaker 6: How are you?
- 35:44Speaker 1: I'm good?
- 35:46Speaker 8: Right.
- 35:46Speaker 9: I got two things for you, okay. The first, we're
- 35:49Speaker 9: playing a little hindsight twenty twenty. I know we were
- 35:53Speaker 9: kind of force them to have them to find back
- 35:55Speaker 9: because it was the right thing to do at the time,
- 35:57Speaker 9: but now seeing how it played out and knowing that
- 36:00Speaker 9: we'll probably have a new set of coaches in next year,
- 36:04Speaker 9: do you think if you could play it back, that
- 36:07Speaker 9: Jerry would have still signed him to that contract or
- 36:10Speaker 9: would he have taken the risk of having an unproven
- 36:13Speaker 9: quarterback even with a top ten pick and go through
- 36:18Speaker 9: those Quinchy Carter years again, maybe because there's no guarantees.
- 36:23Speaker 1: You're saying in hindsight, like if he knew Dak.
- 36:26Speaker 9: Was going to get hurt or yeah, yeah, and you know,
- 36:30Speaker 9: and that we were going to have a much higher
- 36:31Speaker 9: draft pick. I'm assuming he was expecting us to draft
- 36:34Speaker 9: in the late twenties instead of the early, you know,
- 36:37Speaker 9: tens this time. So if he knew that we were
- 36:40Speaker 9: going to have a top ten pick and that Dak
- 36:42Speaker 9: was going to be out for half the season, do
- 36:45Speaker 9: you think that he still would have said, this is
- 36:46Speaker 9: our guy going forward, and let's build around him with
- 36:49Speaker 9: a new coaching staff. Or do you think he would
- 36:51Speaker 9: have said, hey, let's take a risk, let him go
- 36:54Speaker 9: to free agency, and we'll just hope that we don't
- 36:56Speaker 9: end up in quarterback curgatory all over again.
- 36:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, probably that.
- 37:02Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's not I'm not, you know, saying
- 37:06Speaker 4: anything that people don't already know.
- 37:08Speaker 1: I mean that.
- 37:11Speaker 4: If a guy's going to surgery, his price tag is
- 37:13Speaker 4: not going to be the highest in the in the
- 37:15Speaker 4: in the history of the NFL. I mean, like, you're
- 37:18Speaker 4: not gonna do that. You're not gonna You're not gonna
- 37:20Speaker 4: sign a guy like that DA that had a lot
- 37:24Speaker 4: of leverage. He wouldn't have had it if he's if
- 37:27Speaker 4: he was like I said, going, you know, with half
- 37:29Speaker 4: a hamstring, like that's that's not that's not the case.
- 37:32Speaker 4: It worked out well for Dak the timing of it,
- 37:34Speaker 4: and Dak was like, hey, I'm not in a hurry.
- 37:36Speaker 4: I'll go to free agency, but here's my number. It's sixty.
- 37:40Speaker 4: If you want to do it now and get it
- 37:41Speaker 4: out of the way, people can stop talking about it. Well,
- 37:44Speaker 4: stop talking about that part of it. They still talk
- 37:46Speaker 4: about it, But you want to talk about that, then
- 37:49Speaker 4: then let's do it. And that's what Jerry chose to do.
- 37:51Speaker 4: But if you're asking me, do I think if someone
- 37:54Speaker 4: would have tapped him on the shoulder and said, you know,
- 37:56Speaker 4: he's gonna have a torn hamstring in halfway through the
- 37:58Speaker 4: year and he's gonna miss Yeah, you're not going to
- 38:01Speaker 4: do that.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Nobody would.
- 38:02Speaker 4: But you're not going to go buy a house if
- 38:04Speaker 4: someone says, hey, you know that the foundation's bad and
- 38:08Speaker 4: it's going to fall sideways here in about six months,
- 38:11Speaker 4: you're not going to buy it.
- 38:12Speaker 1: So it's the same. It's probably the.
- 38:13Speaker 9: Same all right, and then the next one. People have
- 38:17Speaker 9: talked about your books and I read If These Walls
- 38:19Speaker 9: Could Talk years ago when it first came out, and
- 38:21Speaker 9: there was a story in there that I would love
- 38:23Speaker 9: for you to tell on the air if you don't mind, Okay,
- 38:26Speaker 9: and forgive me if I get it wrong, because again
- 38:28Speaker 9: it was years ago. But you mentioned Troy Akman always
- 38:31Speaker 9: kind of being quiet while people were placing bets and
- 38:34Speaker 9: just always talking trash in the locker room. And you
- 38:37Speaker 9: mentioned one day that he someone was challenging him with
- 38:39Speaker 9: something and he just stood up and threw a ball
- 38:42Speaker 9: across the locker room and put it right in their face. Yeah,
- 38:45Speaker 9: So if you could tell me about that on air,
- 38:47Speaker 9: that would be great.
- 38:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 38:49Speaker 9: And one final thing, I don't know what they were
- 38:51Speaker 9: talking about before. It sounds like maybe coaches, if it
- 38:53Speaker 9: was just please no don and that's it.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Have a great day, all right, thank you?
- 38:58Speaker 4: Yeah, son, Charles Haley was and Charles Haley still around here,
- 39:05Speaker 4: so it's like it was.
- 39:07Speaker 1: My first year was in ninety nine, and Charles Haley
- 39:11Speaker 1: was there.
- 39:12Speaker 4: He wasn't playing with the Cowboys that that year, but
- 39:15Speaker 4: he was there. I can't remember. It might have been
- 39:18Speaker 4: two thousand, nine nine or two thousand, but he he was,
- 39:22Speaker 4: he was in the building. I think it was like
- 39:23Speaker 4: late in the season and he was there and he
- 39:25Speaker 4: you know, Charles still owns the place. He still runs
- 39:27Speaker 4: around this place like he's a player. But uh, he
- 39:31Speaker 4: he was saying something about how Troy's lost it. He's
- 39:34Speaker 4: not like like you know, because because Charles was saying,
- 39:37Speaker 4: he's not You're not Joe Montana. Joe Montana could do this,
- 39:40Speaker 4: or Steve Young could do this. Joe Joe was able to.
- 39:43Speaker 4: He he could, he could throw the ball right between
- 39:45Speaker 4: these two, you know, these two guys right here. And
- 39:48Speaker 4: so he basically I have to go back and look
- 39:50Speaker 4: at exactly with the story. But he he threw. He
- 39:54Speaker 4: kept kind of riding Troy like you can't do that.
- 39:56Speaker 4: You can't throw it. I mean he had like like
- 39:58Speaker 4: two two like people like this far apart, just like
- 40:03Speaker 4: you know, twelve inches apart. And he said, you can't
- 40:05Speaker 4: throw a ball like that. Joe Joe could, but you couldn't.
- 40:08Speaker 4: And finally Troy was like it was one of the
- 40:11Speaker 4: you know, hold my beer moments. He was like, all right, Charles,
- 40:13Speaker 4: shut down, give me the damn ball and he throws
- 40:16Speaker 4: it and whips it right between these two guys, bangs
- 40:19Speaker 4: into the lockers.
- 40:20Speaker 1: You can hear it like whipping.
- 40:22Speaker 4: Through a perfect throw, and and everybody was like, oh
- 40:26Speaker 4: my god.
- 40:27Speaker 1: And Troy like walks out. You know.
- 40:28Speaker 4: It was just like, yeah, that's what that's what I'm
- 40:30Speaker 4: talking about. So it was, it was it was a
- 40:32Speaker 4: funny moment, and Troy was kind of like had enough.
- 40:35Speaker 4: And Charles can can do that, you know, to people,
- 40:38Speaker 4: and he did his whole career and still still doing it. Yeah,
- 40:41Speaker 4: except not to Tyler Smith. All right, Rick from Massachusetts.
- 40:46Speaker 16: Hey, Nicko, you know good.
- 40:47Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 40:49Speaker 16: I'm all right. I got a couple of things. One,
- 40:52Speaker 16: there's a storyliners the Twitter space tonight at nine o'clock
- 40:57Speaker 16: for any storyliners who's listening, or Chris er Neck or whatever.
- 41:04Speaker 16: Also the second thing, too, is that back at the
- 41:07Speaker 16: beginning of the season or preseason one, you have talked
- 41:10Speaker 16: about people who are complaining, whether it was on here
- 41:13Speaker 16: or other things, saying that I don't care what you
- 41:16Speaker 16: do the doing the regular season. I want to see
- 41:18Speaker 16: you them prove it in the playoffs. And your story
- 41:21Speaker 16: your thing was, well, they got to get to the
- 41:23Speaker 16: regular season. First, well, we're not going to get to
- 41:26Speaker 16: the playoffs, so we didn't have a regular season. So
- 41:29Speaker 16: at the Mutester point that you got to have a
- 41:32Speaker 16: regular season to get to the playoffs.
- 41:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean exactly exactly, and that and that's what
- 41:39Speaker 4: I don't know if fans have been kind of spoiled,
- 41:41Speaker 4: but just kind of just like, all right, well, you know,
- 41:44Speaker 4: we'll get back here. You know, three years ago call
- 41:46Speaker 4: me when the playoffs happened. But that's the thing. They
- 41:48Speaker 4: needed you, They needed you. Then they needed the players

- 41:56Speaker 4: got to you gotta do everything you can to get there.

- 45:00Speaker 7: So I get what you're saying. Man, People don't people
- 45:02Speaker 7: that weren't around don't realize how dominant he was for that,
- 45:07Speaker 7: you know, three or four years in the late eighties.
- 45:09Speaker 7: But yeah, back to our beloved Cowboys. You know, there's
- 45:15Speaker 7: been a lot of talk about at a fan and
- 45:18Speaker 7: we should do this, and we shouldn't do that and everything,
- 45:21Speaker 7: and you know a lot of it comes from you know,
- 45:24Speaker 7: first of all. And I'm not trying to start anything here,
- 45:29Speaker 7: but you know, I mean, I know you made Rob
- 45:31Speaker 7: the captain, but what makes him the captain just because
- 45:34Speaker 7: he can call in more? He's better a dialer than
- 45:37Speaker 7: everyone else. I don't think anybody's banging down his door
- 45:40Speaker 7: to get to you know, to ask him personnel questions
- 45:44Speaker 7: across the NFL or anything like that. So, you know
- 45:46Speaker 7: what I mean, If you want a boycott or whatever
- 45:50Speaker 7: he was talking about the other night or the other day,
- 45:53Speaker 7: then then that's on you. But I don't know if
- 45:58Speaker 7: we're going to have a captain, I want somebody who's
- 46:00Speaker 7: ride or die, you know what I mean. So and
- 46:04Speaker 7: that's it, man, I'm watching every game. I don't care,
- 46:07Speaker 7: you know what I mean. Obviously I care if they
- 46:09Speaker 7: win or lose. Obviously we all have opinions about, you know,
- 46:14Speaker 7: what should and shouldn't be done. But at the same time,
- 46:16Speaker 7: remember that these all these people are pros. They get
- 46:19Speaker 7: paid to do this, and they've been being paid their
- 46:21Speaker 7: whole life to do this, you know. And you know,
- 46:27Speaker 7: there's been a lot of hate on the coaching staff.
- 46:29Speaker 7: I think I think Mike Zimmer has done one of
- 46:31Speaker 7: the best coaching jobs, probably if his career this year
- 46:36Speaker 7: with all all of the problems that you know, coming
- 46:39Speaker 7: into a new team. First of all, you have to
- 46:41Speaker 7: establish a new system, right, and then you've got to
- 46:44Speaker 7: get everybody to kind of buy in, and you get
- 46:46Speaker 7: all these injuries, the last two weeks, he's held two
- 46:50Speaker 7: of the best running backs in the league, you know,
- 46:54Speaker 7: two mediocre days, right, And that was the big problem
- 46:58Speaker 7: with the first of the year, was getting the run
- 47:00Speaker 7: game solved. So I kind of like what Zimmer's been doing.
- 47:02Speaker 7: It's just our offense, man, is just as just not
- 47:07Speaker 7: doing any favors. And this is a you know, if
- 47:09Speaker 7: you remember back in twenty fifteen, you know, similar type
- 47:14Speaker 7: year with Romo going down, and you know, the whole
- 47:19Speaker 7: reason we've we even drafted Zeke was really to help
- 47:23Speaker 7: the defense out. And I think people forget that, you know, yeah,
- 47:26Speaker 7: that you got to get these guys off the field. Man,
- 47:30Speaker 7: if they'd have had time, you know, if we had
- 47:32Speaker 7: just put together a few drives to where we could
- 47:35Speaker 7: got them off the field and get them some rest,
- 47:38Speaker 7: I think we'd have had a chance, obviously to played.
- 47:41Speaker 7: We'd have played in the second half. I played in
- 47:43Speaker 7: the first half. We could have beat those guys. So
- 47:46Speaker 7: that's all I'm saying.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Thanks man, all right, appreciate the call up. Yeah, there's
- 47:50Speaker 1: there's a lot to touch there.
- 47:53Speaker 7: Now.
- 47:54Speaker 4: The reason why Rob was the captain of the of
- 47:57Speaker 4: the Show is because he he did call the most
- 48:00Speaker 4: for one of the most but also the fans respect
- 48:02Speaker 4: him as well. They they want to hear his opinion. Fans,
- 48:06Speaker 4: nobody on this show the other callers refer to more
- 48:10Speaker 4: than him. So, uh, you know, and and and he challenges,
- 48:13Speaker 4: He challenges me, challenges the capitals. He says the things
- 48:16Speaker 4: that a lot of you guys want want to say
- 48:18Speaker 4: as well. He's confrontational. Uh, it's fine. Him and I
- 48:21Speaker 4: don't always see eye to eye, but that that's okay.
- 48:23Speaker 4: Sometimes we do. Sometimes we see eye to eye, and
- 48:26Speaker 4: and I and I don't. I don't always agree with
- 48:28Speaker 4: it on the air. But uh, but anyways, no, that
- 48:31Speaker 4: he's he's the captain of it because he's he's he's
- 48:35Speaker 4: the voice that a lot of the fans are respect
- 48:39Speaker 4: and and and just glad that someone says it. So,
- 48:42Speaker 4: you know, does he go over the line. Yeah, yeah
- 48:44Speaker 4: the other day, Yeah, probably probably. So he can't really
- 48:46Speaker 4: talk about other people's going to games and and that
- 48:49Speaker 4: kind of stuff. And that's fine, but but I mean
- 48:51Speaker 4: he'll call back. And but yeah, you're the captain because
- 48:55Speaker 4: because of of the respect that the other other callers
- 48:57Speaker 4: have for him. Real quick Lester in Minnesota, Lester what's.
- 49:01Speaker 5: Up, Hey, Nick, I just got a quick question for you.
- 49:04Speaker 8: Uh.
- 49:05Speaker 14: C J.
- 49:05Speaker 5: Goodwin, cornerback, special teams.
- 49:08Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, why is this that?
- 49:10Speaker 5: I mean, I know he's been there at least five
- 49:12Speaker 5: to seven years. Why isn't he ready to just come
- 49:15Speaker 5: in and play corner when one of our corners get her.
- 49:18Speaker 5: He's been there a long time, he's getting ready.
- 49:20Speaker 1: He's really a white that's not his game. He's not.
- 49:22Speaker 4: He wouldn't be in the NFL for that. He would
- 49:25Speaker 4: not be in the NFL as a corner. He was
- 49:27Speaker 4: a wide receiver actually at uh in college and it's
- 49:30Speaker 4: like Indiana University at Pennsylvania or something or maybe that's
- 49:35Speaker 4: not that's not right. But he's in a small college
- 49:40Speaker 4: in I think it's Division two and he was a receiver.
- 49:43Speaker 4: He's he's an athlete, but he's he's not a he's
- 49:46Speaker 4: not a cornerback. They put him on the roster there,
- 49:48Speaker 4: that's not that's not his game. They they they're moving
- 49:50Speaker 4: safeties over to play corner before they play him.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Uh there.
- 49:53Speaker 4: Uh, he's probably closer to a wide receiver than he
- 49:56Speaker 4: would be a corner. That's just the spot they put
- 49:58Speaker 4: him at. But he's not he's a he's a spy
- 50:00Speaker 4: teams guys, special team's ace. That's what he is, and
- 50:03Speaker 4: he's really good at it. He's really good at that.
- 50:05Speaker 4: But it's not this isn't a development thing to try
- 50:07Speaker 4: to make him a corner. He's on the roster to
- 50:09Speaker 4: play special teams. All right, guys, appreciate the call. Appreciate
- 50:13Speaker 4: all the calls today. Good stuff. We'll be back tomorrow
- 50:15Speaker 4: to talk more on Cowboys storyline. So for Chris Beam,
