1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Tuesday,

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth, December twenty sixth. Cowboys lost the tough one.

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: You guys know this by now. We'll talk about it.

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Dolphins on Christmas even Miami down to the

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: final seconds and couldn't get it done. I got opinions

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: about it. I'm sure you guys do as well. Eight eight, eight, eight,

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven. You can text us

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight.

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: We saw what the Giants did. Giants were able to

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: uh hang in there with the Eagles, but not enough

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: to win it. The Eagles get to win now they

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: have the one game lead. The Cowboys are gonna need

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: some help if they're gonna win. If they're gonna win

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: the NFC East, obviously, and they're gonna probably need the

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: Giants to to to beat them in New York. If

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: if the if the Giants are gonna play like they

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: did yesterday, if they play like that all season long,

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: it could happen. But that's that's kind of that's probably

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys best bet right now. Still looking at the

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: number five seed, looks like that's probably gonna be the case.

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: And not sure where the Tampa Bay, Atlanta and New

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Orleans baby all still have a shot there. But we'll

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk about we'll break down why the Cowboys are

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: in this position and and and what happened uh Sunday

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. All right, let's get to the phone line.

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: So start us off, Big Al in San Antonio. He's

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: the first caller, big Al, what's up?

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: A good morning there, holidays.

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: To you, you too, you too, thank you? How are

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: you doing?

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: I'm doing okay. I'm still kind of pissed off on Sundays.

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: So my opinion is they the play calling just change.

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: After the first the first drive after Lamb School there

39
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: for that touchdown, everything just changed.

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: Man.

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on with Mike he I

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: don't know, man, I'm just getting frustrated now and getting

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 4: pissed off. I might have to go down and start

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 4: coaching myself.

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: All right, Well, come on, you get through security, you know,

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: get in you know, you just wonder I mean everybody

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: knows Tyreek Hill's getting the ball. I mean everybody, I mean,

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, and he gets nine catches, you know, they

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: and they've done a good job to shriff scheme and

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: see the open. But you're right, for some reason it

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: went away, you know, for what almost two quarters. Yeah,

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's mind boggling. I didn't get that one

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: at all.

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't even still I don't. And uh with

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: the Saturday what they come out to do. I know,

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: they came back strong, you know, against the rush and

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: they's see what they got nicked for Detroit. Yeah, but

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: anyway happen, hoiday to you and I get with you

59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: later on.

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: All right, thanks, appreciate that big frustration. Pissed off, he said, yeah,

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm, I hear you. It's you know,

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: the thing about CD is they move him in the

63
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: slot for this reason, I mean for the reason of

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: you really can't take him away when you have a

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: guy that can that can go in the slot like that,

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean Dak Dak will throw the

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: football to who he thinks is open, and he trusts

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: everybody to make the play, you know, and it's frustrating

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: I think when you're watching it and you think, you know,

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: it's third and goal or whatever, and you you know, oh, no,

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Hindershot didn't make the play. Well know, Hendershot didn't make

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: the hasn't made one this year, you know, Hunter Lipke

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the fumble, I mean, which I think is still the

74
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: biggest play of the game. And it's hard to do

75
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: that on the first drive, but I thought it was.

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: I thought that was an absolute killer. And uh and

77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: not just him, but I mean the actual running back,

78
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: like your lead running back, that that all you're looking

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: for is a little bit of a of a crease

80
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: to get in and you got a lot of room

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: to score and you don't score from the one that

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: that was well, not worse than the fumble because he

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: got your first down, but I mean that was bad.

84
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: That was that was bad. And then that that speaks volumes,

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: I think for what the team is lacking and running

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: back at the running back position this year just hasn't worked.

87
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: It just hasn't really worked like you wanted it to.

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: He's been okay, Tony Pollard has been okay, but he

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, you wanted him to be a little bit

90
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: better and it just hasn't really been the case, and

91
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: so and they struggled to run the football. Of course,

92
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: yesterday or Sunday. All right, let's go to Brian in

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Brian is next. Good morning, Nick morning, How

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: are you doing.

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 5: I'm doing good, sir. Well, you know, I got to

96
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 5: watch the Kansas City game and he didn't look any better.

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 5: He's got a double whimmy. He doesn't have an offensive

98
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: line right now, he's got some injuries. He also doesn't

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 5: have a number one receiver. And boy does he look human.

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: Yeah talking about Patrick Mahomes, of course.

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, he does not look like Superman that everybody's

102
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 5: always saying. And you know, I thought Dak had a

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 5: great game for probably two thirds of the game. You know,

104
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 5: there was that lull in the middle, but but you

105
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 5: know that the pass to Cooks over over Ramsey, you know,

106
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 5: in the corner of the end zone, there was great.

107
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: He bought his butt off, just running and just wawing

108
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: for everything he could get. Our offensive line was bad,

109
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: so you know, I'm not an offensive line coach. But

110
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 5: on the broadcast, Olsen kept saying Idoga was blocking down

111
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: the wrong direction and that was just killing us with

112
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 5: Bradley Chubb coming around that corner. But you know, I

113
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 5: I thought when I looked at this five game stretch,

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 5: I thought, maybe we go three and two. And I

115
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: still hope for that, But you know, this week, I

116
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 5: think it's gonna be a it's going to be a

117
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: tough one. We got the Lions coming in on a

118
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 5: short week, you know, and they're If I had to

119
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 5: pick another team other than San Francisco that I think

120
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 5: is just a tough, physical team in the NFC, they'd

121
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 5: be it.

122
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, they are. You're right about that. They play

123
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: just like their head coach played the game. Yeah, and uh,

124
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: and not just that. I mean if you look at

125
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: their you look at their coaching staff. I think they've

126
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: got ten guys that played, uh in the NFL. I mean,

127
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about y'all who's on a practice

128
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: squad or whatever like the these are guys that you know,

129
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: And so that's the kind of coaching staff that he

130
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: has has kind of surrounded himself with. But but yeah,

131
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: and I mean, you're you're right. Going back to the game,

132
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what what's going on with

133
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: with with Adoga. I didn't I didn't. I didn't think

134
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: that was ever supposed to be the option at left tackle,

135
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: but but he was. And it has been all year.

136
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: And you know, this isn't like Tyron was like last

137
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: second scratch, not gonna practice, not gonna play Idoga comes

138
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: in like he was he would, did not practice all

139
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: week with a back injury. So it's it just he

140
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: just didn't look prepared. I mean, I mean, I'm sure

141
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: he was kind of, but Bradley Chubb was the best

142
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: player on their on their defense and on their defensive line.

143
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: We knew that going in. So if you're gonna pick

144
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: a player to say, you know, let's not block him,

145
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: well let's, you know, give someone free and we'll block here.

146
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: And we have to let someone go that's not the guy.

147
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: And it was way too many times. I didn't understand it.

148
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. They don't let Michael Parsons get free,

149
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean ever, And so that is just a huge,

150
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: huge breakdown. And not only did he let Chubb go

151
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but for nothing else, like he

152
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: wasn't really blocking. He could just tell he was blocking

153
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: the wrong guy because he wasn't really blocking anyone. And

154
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Tyler didn't need the help. You know, Tyler's got it.

155
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Tyler's got his guy there, so they're gonna I've said

156
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: all along, I think Tyler Smith should be playing at

157
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: left guard. But at this rate, if you might have

158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: to switch this up because I just don't think that's

159
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: the option at left tackle. I never have and so

160
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: it's not just a knee jerk. I've never thought that

161
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look like a left tackle, doesn't not necessarily play

162
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: in like one either, So I think they got to

163
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: make a change there. They got to figure that out.

164
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: If that means put basset guard in Tyler Smith, I

165
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: hate to do that, and they don't want to be

166
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: moving Tyler Smith around during the season, but you know

167
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: that that wrecked the game, you know, I think I

168
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: think their offensive line struggled, and I think right at

169
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: that position, I think it had wrecked the game. How

170
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: many more can you do? So you have to make

171
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: it a switch if you can Tyler. I mean, I

172
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: do believe Tyron Smith has a shot to play this

173
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: week coming back, so that'll be that'll be something to

174
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: watch for sure. All right, let's go with a text

175
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: question though Steve Williams. He's in Charlotte, North Carolina after

176
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: the game, I can't say I was really worried going

177
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: into the Lions game. Am I wrong? You'd be worried

178
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: if you want. I mean, I I think if they

179
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: don't play well, they'll lose. We we do think that.

180
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: We know this team plays a lot better at home,

181
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: but but you know, against like they really beat Philadelphian.

182
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's reeling and they they whipped Philly pretty good. Seattle, uh,

183
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, Seattle gave him everything they wanted, you know,

184
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: and Detroit's playing way better than them. So so yeah,

185
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it'll it'll be it'll be a tough game,

186
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: especially when you look at at matchups. You know, if

187
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: you can't block the edge, the Lions have some guys

188
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: that can really get in your face. Is you can't

189
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: stop the run, you know, the Lions certainly can do

190
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: that as well. So it's gonna be a tough game.

191
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: But there'll be a lot of a lot of stuff

192
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: happening there, emotions and all that stuff. Should be a

193
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: great crowd. I think it'll be a great, you know,

194
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: great opportunity for the Cowboys to bounce back. But it's

195
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, all right, Sebastian. He's in Savannah, Georgia. Sebastian,

196
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: what's up, Good morning, mister man.

197
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 6: I hope everybody had a beautiful holiday. You know, it's

198
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 6: more than just the cowboys. My girls had such a

199
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 6: beautiful time yesterday. So I can't be but in a

200
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 6: good mood. We now know our path. It's clear. We

201
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 6: just got to play our best games and get ready

202
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 6: for the playoffs. There's no winning the division or whatever

203
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 6: the case is. We're in there. We got to handle

204
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 6: business once we get there. Two things that this team

205
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 6: has no choice but to look at at this point

206
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 6: in the draft next year, if the best ability is availability,

207
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 6: you have to look at getting a new tackle. Tyron

208
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 6: is one of the best players in the world when

209
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 6: he he's available, but he's not available. If you're in

210
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 6: business and you're unreliable, I can't do business with you.

211
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: It's that simple. And we got to get on the

212
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 6: other side, actually both sides, because you might need to

213
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: upgrade your center a little bit as well. We need

214
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 6: guys with rocks in their pockets on both sides. Okay,

215
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 6: because Hankins went down and you can see in the

216
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 6: Buffalo game, they literally just pushed us. Even though they're

217
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 6: getting around the edges a lot of times, you got

218
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 6: to be more so concerned about that goal line. And

219
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 6: in the goal line, we can't stop a nosebleed right now.

220
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 6: So if you could just talk about those couple of things.

221
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 6: I hope you guys have a happy New Year's I

222
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 6: didn't get a chance to call before Christmas, So happy Hanukah,

223
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 6: Happy Kwanza, Merry Christmas to everybody. Have a great day.

224
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: Guy, all right, thanks appreciate that sequestion. So they get

225
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a lot of needs. I mean, you know, I mean

226
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: we think about it in a tackle center. H Yeah,

227
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: they need, they need, they need to upgrade that I

228
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: think linebacker seriously, I mean, that's that's a huge problem.

229
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: The Clark's not ready. It doesn't seem like Damoon Clark.

230
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: I just haven't seen him make a lot of plays

231
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: this year. I know he leads the team in tackles,

232
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: but he's just not making a lot of plays and

233
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: he's getting he's getting pushed around a lot more than

234
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I thought he would be, especially looking at him in college. Now,

235
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: I know he had the neck injury and he's been cleared,

236
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: and you know, it's been a year and a half,

237
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: so you'd like to think that's not not an issue.

238
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: But for a big, physical guy like that, he has

239
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: a hard time, seems like, getting off the block, especially

240
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: when a guard or somebody really physical gets his hands

241
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: on him. I mean we've seen it now two games

242
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: in a row, just to play that. I'm sure there's

243
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: a meme about it. I mean, just getting thrown all

244
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: around the place. So that that lineback, you know, then

245
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: with Leyton vander esh being out and who knows what

246
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: his future looks like. I mean, linebacker's a spot. Running

247
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: back is going to be a spot, of course. But

248
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: but going to what you said, I mean, yeah, the

249
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: line it's not the same with Hankins, it's not. And

250
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: that's why they went and got him last year. That's

251
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: why they re signed him. But and then, and that's

252
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: why they drafted Mazzie Smith hoping that that would, you know,

253
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: just just be a guy that could kind of plug,

254
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, clog up the middle. But it's not. It's

255
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: not happening without without Hankins, and Mazzie was in there

256
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: that last play, you know, third and two, third and two,

257
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: you got to stop them. You stop them. They kick

258
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: a field goal. You got some time to maybe go

259
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: down and get it and get a shot. But they can't.

260
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: They can't, you know, stop with Jeff Wilson or whatever.

261
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: They can't make the play Mozzi and gets walled off. Osa.

262
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: Oh so that whole side gets Waldolf Damone goes there.

263
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they just schemed it perfectly and

264
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: there was no shot to stop them. So uh and

265
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: that was basically the game. But yeah, they they got

266
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: they got issues all the way around. And you know,

267
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: I I think the Cowboys could have done a better job,

268
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: knowing what you just said about Tyron and and Tyrann's

269
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: availability and knowing that this is going to happen. I

270
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: don't feel like Tuma Adoga had left tackle was I

271
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: don't feel like that was the right contingency plan move,

272
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, all year long, and but you know, they

273
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: drafted Austin Richards, but you know, he's not going to

274
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: be the guy, you know, to be your your backup

275
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: left tackle, but they went for Truma. He had he

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: didn't have a ton of experience there playing left tackle.

277
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: He had been hurt, and that's that's kind of who

278
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: they went with. And you know, it cost them. I

279
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: thought caught him the other night. All right, let's go,

280
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: let's go James pastor James in Midland, Texas.

281
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, has it going today?

282
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: Good man? How are you doing?

283
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 7: Doing well? Doing well?

284
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: I hope you.

285
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 7: Chris, Jazz and Josh and everybody had a merry Christmas.

286
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: Thank you.

287
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 7: And if I was Tuma Doga, I would hide in

288
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 7: the film room whenever they watched that film because I

289
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 7: mean you could just see it over and over again.

290
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 7: You cannot leave a guy Cubb out there on the

291
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 7: outside unblocked. And I mean I really wasn't really upset

292
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 7: about the game because I felt like it was a

293
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 7: better game than it was in Buffalo, and it was

294
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 7: in Miami against a playoff caliber team and they went

295
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 7: down to the end. But you know, if you look

296
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 7: at all the Steel photos that you see when Mike

297
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 7: is getting held, I think maybe he just may need

298
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 7: to just get off the rep's back, you know, start

299
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 7: shaking their hands and being nicer to him, and maybe

300
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 7: they'll give him some of those plays, because it's crazy

301
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 7: that he hadn't had a holding call called against him

302
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 7: since October, right, you know, And I mean you can

303
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 7: just see where they're grabbing him where they have him

304
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 7: around his chin strap and all kind of stuff, and

305
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 7: it just seems like that that he's just, you know,

306
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 7: getting the short end of stick. But I will say

307
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 7: that I felt a lot better after watching what the

308
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 7: Ravens did to the forty nine ers last night. It

309
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 7: made them look like they were vulnerable. It made them

310
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 7: look like they were actually human, a human team, and

311
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 7: that a defense could actually play against that offense, and

312
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 7: an offense could run and work against that defense. And

313
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 7: like everybody's always talking about there's a blueprint against the Cowboys,

314
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 7: I believe that the Ravens showed a blueprint for what

315
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 7: to do against the forty nine ers. So I'll get

316
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 7: off and I hope y'all have a great show and

317
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 7: I'll listen to what you have to say.

318
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for the call, James. I appreciate that blueprints

319
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: are tricky because just because you can do it doesn't

320
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: mean that they can do it. I mean we're seeing

321
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: that with I mean with the Eagles. I mean they

322
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: have a blueprint on how how to get a yard

323
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: on fourth and one, but not everybody can do that,

324
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: and not everyone can play the way the Ravens do,

325
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: especially on defense. They're linebackers. You know, they've got two

326
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: really good linebackers and uh you know, they they they've

327
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: got some great players and they are they're just a

328
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: well old machine right now. They're they're playing, they're the

329
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: they're the best team in football. I mean, they're gonna

330
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure the power rankings will come out here uh today,

331
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: if they're not already out in Baltimore, will be number one,

332
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: I mean emphatically. Of course, they're they're playing the best,

333
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: and they've got you know, they've got the MVP favorite

334
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: right now. And Lamar Jackson, who I you know, I

335
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: think is amazing. I mean I do. I know that

336
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: he gets a lot of flak for being a running

337
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: back or whatever. I'll take him on my team, you know,

338
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean because because he he knows how to make

339
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: plays and and he's he's just a nightmare to try

340
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: to stop. So anyways, yeah, that was good to see

341
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: them do that. But uh yeah, it's it's a it's

342
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: a it's a mess right now. When you know you

343
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: look at Micah and Micah you know he's just he's

344
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: it's frustrated obviously, and you know he can't he can't

345
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: play that one and it's tough because you can't you know,

346
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: you can't get penalties like that. And I I've heard

347
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: people say, what is he supposed to do? Not hit

348
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback? That's I mean, I'm not blaming him, I'm

349
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: saying that's what you're not supposed to do. You can't

350
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: hit the quarterback like that, especially really hard like that.

351
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: It it didn't look like a penalty. I know, the

352
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: rule says you get two steps, and he kind of

353
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: didn't even take that. So I get all that. But

354
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: when you go and complain to the officials one, you know,

355
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: like a play or two before, and you have your

356
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: hands out and all that, and then you go hit

357
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback, they're never gonna call it for you. They're not.

358
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: And so he's gonna have to figure that out and

359
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't. It's been but it is amazing to think

360
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: that it's been like what, eight nine games and he

361
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: can't get a hold in fromply, especially the way they

362
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: call holding in some of these games. That's been a shocker.

363
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: All right, Rob in Vegas? What's up?

364
00:18:59,720 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 8: Hey?

365
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: What's that man? How are you?

366
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 8: I'm good? How are you?

367
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm good? Sorry? Kicking drink of water? What's up with you.

368
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 8: Listen, when this team goes on the road against good teams,

369
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 8: it's like groundhog Day. We've seen this the last few years.

370
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 8: Tyler Smith doesn't play. I mean, I'm Tyrant Smith doesn't play.

371
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 8: We lose. Uh, we're going to average twenty points. That's

372
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 8: our average pretty much on the road, and that's pretty

373
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 8: much what we do against good teams. Dak doesn't play.

374
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 8: He plays good. He doesn't play great like he does

375
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 8: at home. He just plays good. We're going to have

376
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 8: dumb penalties at bad times that are going to cost

377
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 8: us big plays. Again, we've we had that. We have

378
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 8: Uh is it coaching? Well, we got to put a

379
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 8: lot of it on coaching, because what are you that's

380
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 8: the common denominator. Mike McCarthy, for whatever reason, cannot get

381
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 8: this key team to play on the road like they

382
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 8: do at home. Not even close, not even half. I've

383
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 8: never seen anything like it. And what are you going

384
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 8: to do? You hear the rumors that, well maybe Belichick

385
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 8: is going to come in, Well, I don't want Belichick

386
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 8: to come in because that means this team didn't succeed.

387
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 8: But you know one thing, if Belichick came in, they're

388
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 8: the lowest pedalized team in the NFL, So we would

389
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 8: definitely he would definitely fix that, and I think he

390
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 8: would fix that. We wouldn't be soft in the trenches

391
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 8: because we are. That offensive line again killed us during

392
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 8: the game, and defensively we played better against the run,

393
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 8: but when we had to stop the run at the

394
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 8: end of the game, when they knew it was coming,

395
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 8: they couldn't do it. And the moon clock is awful.

396
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 8: I know he's there because we really don't have anybody else.

397
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 8: The face mask penalty killed this at the end, but

398
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 8: he just gets blown off the ball that now he's

399
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 8: all over YouTube where you see him getting blocked like

400
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 8: twenty five yards down the field. So I don't know.

401
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 8: I don't unfortunately, like I said, I see Groundhog Day.

402
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 8: You just pencil little men. They're gonna score twenty points

403
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 8: on the road. I think they'll beat the Lions that

404
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 8: they match up good with them and Jared Goff, they

405
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 8: have his number. I know lines are better this year,

406
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 8: but I just I just unfortunately, I just see the scenario.

407
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 8: We'll probably go to Tampa Bay. Hey, I'm not totally

408
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 8: confident they could be Tampa Bay in Campa Bay anymore

409
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 8: going on the road on grass. I mean, it's all

410
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 8: these crazy things and now the team is imploding.

411
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: Michaeh.

412
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 8: Parsons listened, Micah, this is today's NFL. You gotta shut

413
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 8: your mouth. This isn't the nineties the eighties where you

414
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 8: could actually play real defense. You know what this league

415
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 8: is about. So be quiet. You're not going to get

416
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 8: the calls, especially if you criticize the rest. And I

417
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 8: just don't know. I unfortunately, I just have no confidence

418
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 8: when this team leaves at and T Stadium.

419
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: All right, all right, thanks for the call. There's a

420
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: lot to unpack there. And honestly, like they don't they

421
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: don't need us to be confident, you know, they really don't.

422
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: They don't need you to be confident. They don't need

423
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: to be us to because they really don't. They they

424
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: need to be confident. They need to figure out how

425
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: to how to go win. And you know, I've just

426
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: I've seen it. I've seen it happen where you just

427
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: don't you know, what we think is not is not

428
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: exactly what happens. So yeah, I mean you you can

429
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: go and look look like that. I mean, the caller

430
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: just talked about Kansas city. You know that they're not fans,

431
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: they're not confident and because of based of what you see,

432
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: and you can only go off of what you see.

433
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: But you know, like I said, they don't. We don't

434
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: have to have confidence in them and and they they

435
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: have to figure out how to do it. And you're

436
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: right about Micah. You know that's the tricky part there

437
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: is that I know me, I I ask you know.

438
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: I applaud the players for standing in front of the

439
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: mics after the game and talking, because they don't all

440
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: do it. They don't. And the guys that are supposed

441
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: to be the leaders and the captains, they do it

442
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: when they feel like it wins you know, good games.

443
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: They don't do it all the time. They're not consistent.

444
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: So if you're going to be a superstar, you're gonna

445
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the face of the franchise. You got

446
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: to do that. And uh so I applaud him for

447
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: doing it. But he's not helping himself by being honest.

448
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: And you want that's another thing. You want people to

449
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: be honest. You want them to say something, you know,

450
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: don't just give the company line, you know, actually say

451
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: what you're thinking. That's what the media always wants, but

452
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: it's not helping him. It's not. There's no way that

453
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: that that's that's helping him. So that's that's a that's

454
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: something he's gonna have to figure out. It's the same

455
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: way with that position. How do you be super aggressive

456
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: to get around the edge as fast as you can

457
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: and be flying at the quarterback, but then when he

458
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: throws it, you can't hit him. I mean, it's it's

459
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: it's tough, you know, breaks, And that's the thing. NFL

460
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: doesn't care about breaks. They this isn't you know midas Okay,

461
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't give a crap about you stopping

462
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: what's supposed to do. He was right there. Don't hit him.

463
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: They don't care how fast you're going, you can't hit him.

464
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: So common sense never really comes into play when you're

465
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: talking about a quarterback, his legs, his knees, his knees,

466
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: his head, anything. When the guy dives down like that

467
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: at the last second and you you're about to hit

468
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: him in the chest and he dives down and you

469
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: hit him, they don't care. They don't. And so that's

470
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: that's that's why it's really really tough on these defensive

471
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: players because they're moving so fast, and then you know

472
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: all all all you're seeing is what the end result is.

473
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: It's not fair and that's what happens though. All Right,

474
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: Mike in New York is our next caller.

475
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 9: What's up?

476
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: Nick? Love the show Man? Cowboys fans for a long

477
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 3: long time, listen all the time. I think, I think

478
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 3: my biggest concerns with the Cowboys is I think I

479
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: like Gallup as a receiver, but I feel like since

480
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 3: he's come back from that injury, he just he hasn't

481
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: been the same. He just like I get it himself,

482
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 3: but he's just he hasn't been the same. And then

483
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: another thing is I feel like Mike McCarthy, me and

484
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: my cousin are dingy howd Cowboy fans and we text

485
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: all the time, and he lives down in Pennsylvanian stuff,

486
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: And I honestly think I think Mike McCarthy has to

487
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: take he has to get Dallas to the like NFC

488
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 3: championship game to.

489
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: Save his job.

490
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 3: I think he's on the hot seat.

491
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, well, yeah, that's the second caller

492
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: in a row about that, and I'll just leave it

493
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: at that. I don't know I don't. I don't make

494
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: that decision. There's only one person that does. And so

495
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: you know, it'll we'll we'll see how how how this

496
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: thing ends up, you know, this this year. I mean,

497
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: because like I said, I might I use the analogy

498
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: all the time, but it's it's the perfect one because

499
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: it is the roller coaster. This is what this team is,

500
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: what the franchise is. It's smooth here, this is nice,

501
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: bumpy does twist, turns, stops. I think the rides over

502
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: now it goes backwards. I mean, it's it's the thing

503
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: that makes this so exciting is also the thing that

504
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 1: makes you want to throw up sometimes because it's just

505
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: it never you can't get it, you can't get ahead

506
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: of it. You can't figure this out. So whatever McCarthy, whatever,

507
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 1: Jerry decides when he wants to, you know, decide. If

508
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's credit he's credited him a lot,

509
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: He's given a lot of praise on what he's done

510
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: this year. And you know, I think he does look

511
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: at it like, you know, being consistent consistent matters. Now

512
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: what consistently out of the playoffs in the division round

513
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: or do you look at it like consistently given this

514
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: team a chance to go and you know, and compete

515
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: me three straight years in the playoffs. Well that might

516
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: be your expectations, and that's expectations, but the reality of

517
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: it is it's hard to do. And uh and so

518
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, you can't just be switching coaches all the time.

519
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: And we'll see, we'll see what happens. I mean again,

520
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter till the end, and then that's

521
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: when we'll get a good determination of where we are

522
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: and what goes on. One of the last callers, I

523
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: think it was Rob I guess that said it is

524
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: what it is. You're not going to make the playoffs.

525
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, not sorry, you're not going to win the division.

526
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: But I mean, this is what I think will happen.

527
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: I think that the Cowboys will beat Detroit. I think

528
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: they'll they'll figure out a way to stop this and

529
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: and win at home, and it'll be a tough game,

530
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: but I think that they'll win. And then I think

531
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: Philly will beat the Cardinals at home. So what will

532
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: happen is is they'll they'll they'll put them at the

533
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: same time. I think on Sunday, the last game of

534
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: the season, Dallas will go to Washington. The Giants will

535
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: get Philly at home, and they'll play exactly the same time.

536
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: And I mean if the if the Giants played like

537
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: that at home and trying to win, I mean they

538
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: could they could win that game. And if they win

539
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: that game and you beat the Washington, then you win

540
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: the you win the East. So then you move from

541
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: the five to the probably the two will probably we'll

542
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: see what, Yeah, I mean I would think so if

543
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: you beat if you beat Detroit, you have to beat

544
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: Detroit to get there, and so Detroit is a game ahead,

545
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: but you'd have to tie her or so probably the too.

546
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: So so it's not it's not likely, I don't think.

547
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, leaning on the Giants to

548
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: do anything isn't really likely. But that's that's kind of weird,

549
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: it is, But you know, not get too far ahead.

550
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: You got to be gott to be Detroit. All right.

551
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: Allen is in Long Island, New York. Allan, what's up, hey.

552
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 9: Nick Mary, Christmas to you and your family and everyone there.

553
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: You too, do a great job. Appreciate that.

554
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 9: I just have three points. If anyone told you that.

555
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: If you would have used if you would take them

556
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: three points the other night that Cowboys win, So I

557
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: know I know what's happening.

558
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 9: Just one thing I've noticed. You remind me of the

559
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 9: wet the White House Press secretary, because man, when the

560
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 9: Cowboys lose, I know probably so many people call you

561
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 9: keep taking questions and what a great job you do.

562
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

563
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 9: But not the current. You know, you know you know

564
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 9: what I mean. You get the Bible saying. But the

565
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 9: three points I want to make. Number one, how did

566
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 9: Tony Pollard not score that touchdown?

567
00:29:59,120 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

568
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 9: That's n one. That's number two, Michael Parsons, Please, I

569
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 9: beg you, Micah, just play football, stay off the social media.

570
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 9: Number three, how about Amari Cooper?

571
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: Huh?

572
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 9: Back to back thousand yard seasons with who the hell

573
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 9: is the quarterback?

574
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: Right?

575
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 9: You know? That's all I wanted to say. If you

576
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 9: want to chime in on those three points. So that's

577
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 9: a great job, Nick Merk, Christmas to you and Chris.

578
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: All right, all right, good stuff. I'll start with Pollard

579
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: and I've said it earlier, but I just I don't know.

580
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how you don't score. You have to

581
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: score there and the play if you can't score there,

582
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: then why are they calling it? You know what that

583
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: is the play, I mean, it is an option for

584
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: him to get You got to make You don't even

585
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: have to make a guy miss okay, because you're right there.

586
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: You just have to carry him into the end zone.

587
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: And you can't get thrown around like like a helicopter,

588
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: like at the one inch line. I mean, dive, put

589
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: it across the line. Whatever you have to do, have

590
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: to score. I thought Cooks could have scored too. Honestly,

591
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: I thought Cooks could have maybe done a little bit

592
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: more on that end to round too with Ramsey there,

593
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: thought there was a cutback to be had. But I'm

594
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: not I'm not taking it away from Hunter Lipkey for

595
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: fumbling the ball, Okay, I'm like, that's that's elementary type play.

596
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean with dak to to to lip Key, that's ridiculous.

597
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's crazy that that. You you know,

598
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,239
Speaker 1: one guy had the ball and couldn't get in and

599
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: the next guy got in without the ball. If you

600
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: could just combine those guys together, obviously they score. And

601
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: when when that game Parsons, We've said it, you know,

602
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gotta he's got to play through this.

603
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: He's just got to figure out a way to play

604
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: through it. I mean, I don't know anything else other

605
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: than to say, I mean, they put the I mean,

606
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: he's tweeting out the shots. And you know the thing

607
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: is that you always hear, well, they could call holding

608
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: on every play, but they don't. They don't. And you

609
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: would think a guy with that many pressures and commands

610
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: that much attention that he would get a call, but

611
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: he's not. And so I don't like to say, well,

612
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: the officials are plotting against I mean that that stuff

613
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: seems it seems pretty far fetched. It just seems that way.

614
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: But what else can you say. I mean, I don't

615
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: know what else you can say on this. This is

616
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushers in the league. He's

617
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: the most vocal person that seems like and critical at

618
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: the officials, and he doesn't get any calls, And so

619
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what else you can

620
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: really say about it. So I'm just gonna leave it

621
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: at that. And then the third one, Mark Cooper. Good

622
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: for him, I mean good, good for Mark Cooper. He's

623
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: always been a really good player, always been a good player.

624
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: But it don't sit here and think that you're going

625
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: to get what you get out of Mari and you're

626
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 1: gonna get out of CD. I mean, they they they

627
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: they pretty much played the same position. And for they,

628
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys felt like for CD to thrive and really

629
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: for Dak to thrive for being honest, that that he

630
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: needed to go and the money they could use elsewhere,

631
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: and they thought they had a playmaker and CD, and

632
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: they said, you know what, we we we've got this guy.

633
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: He can be this guy here and we go use

634
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: our money elsewhere. And they weren't wrong with that. They

635
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: weren't because look what CD has done. He doesn't blow

636
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: up to be one of the you know, have two

637
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: great seasons like this probably with the Maari Cooper and

638
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, just have CD

639
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: and Amari and you know, get rid of Gallup and

640
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: then loke look what you have, and yeah, that would

641
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: be great, but I you know, they they wanted to

642
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: use that money elsewhere. And I mean, but good for

643
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: Mari because he's absolutely balling. He's playing great, and he's

644
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: playing it with inconsistencies at the quarterback position. All right.

645
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: Jeremy in New York State was staying in New York here, Jeremy,

646
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: what's up.

647
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: Hey, first time Carl, Thanks love for taking my call.

648
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 4: Nick.

649
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: I just I just so disappointed after that loss. It

650
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: just seems that we can't just win the big wines

651
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: when we really needed to count the most, Like the

652
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: Eagles won, they had a chance for the division. To

653
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 2: be honest with you, I don't think they're going to

654
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: beat Detroit and I just don't see how they're going

655
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 2: to get out be able to beat a team like

656
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: San Francisco at all. It just seems to me the

657
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: defense can dominate the lesser teams, and when it comes

658
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: to the teams that have like good off funds of

659
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: linemen and good defenses, they can't do anything. And they're

660
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: just not built for coming from behind. And I just

661
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: never understood why they didn't build a team to be

662
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: able to keep up, come from behind, to make wins.

663
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: When they need to stop, they can't get it. When

664
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: they need a score, they can't get it. It's just

665
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 2: very frustrating.

666
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: Well they did, I mean, it's hard to say they're

667
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: not built to come from behind when they did. You know,

668
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: they did, down sixteen to seven going into the fourth quarter,

669
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: I believe, and they can't.

670
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: How many games have they done that too?

671
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know four. I

672
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: don't have the answer. I'm just saying they are They're

673
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: definitely built more to come from behind than they are

674
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: to hold a lead. I mean they can't run. They

675
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: can't run. I mean, so I think what you're saying

676
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: is like, mentally they don't do it. They did. I mean,

677
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: in my opinion, if they had won the game, they

678
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: would have stolen it from the Dolphins. I don't think

679
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: they were better than Miami. And then if they go

680
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: and they get that touchdown and take the lead and

681
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: then somehow something fluky happens, miss the field goal, they

682
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: fumble whatever, I think the Cowboys steal that win. I

683
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: don't think it makes them a better road team or whatever.

684
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they just kind of are what they are.

685
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 2: And do you see them coming out of the first round.

686
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because I I think that I don't necessarily think,

687
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do the math on this, I don't

688
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: think there is this night and day difference in how

689
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: they play at home in the road. I don't think

690
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: that's the difference on how they play. I think the

691
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: difference is is who they play on the road and

692
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: at home. And if you just and I'm gonna, I'm

693
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: gonna do this. I mean you guys could do it too,

694
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean for tomorrow show. But I'm just gonna it's

695
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: something that you wanted to look at. Just they a

696
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: this is the winning percentage of the teams they're playing.

697
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: And this is not an excuse, it's just to look forward.

698
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: I think when they are playing teams that they can beat,

699
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: I think that they they will win. But I don't

700
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: think they're better than than than the Dolphins. They weren't

701
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: in that game. Definitely not better then you know, then

702
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: Philly that that day, or of course the forty nine ers.

703
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: I just don't think that they're better Buffalo Buffalo. They weren't.

704
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: Definitely weren't better either. Buffalo knew how to play a

705
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: game like that, they knew how to adjust. The Cowboys

706
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: just didn't.

707
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: And that you think they can get out of the

708
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: second round?

709
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, okay, who were playing? Where what

710
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: happened in the first game? Did Dak play great? Did

711
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: he not? Did they get turnovers? His hankins back?

712
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 4: You know?

713
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying, this is why it's hard

714
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: to play this game about who are they playing? Who

715
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: is in the second round? You know, I mean you

716
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: could be the five seed, go to Tampa, beat Tampa, Namascus.

717
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: Do you think they could get out of the second round.

718
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 2: I guess you're right. Depends on who's playing. I think

719
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: they can beat Tampa. I think they can Pete whoever

720
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 2: is coming out of the South. I don't know who

721
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: is going to be in the second round. If they

722
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 2: had to play Philadelphia again, you'll take that Philly. I

723
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: don't know what they would do.

724
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: You would take that when you over any anything else.

725
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you would take at Philly over

726
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: four on the road, or even Detroit on the road.

727
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 10: You know, Detroit.

728
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 2: I think they can beat Detroit. Detroit. I think they

729
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: can make golf. I think if they can get the pressure,

730
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: they can get to golf. It's just they got to

731
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: get the line back to going together. And next year

732
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: they really got to repass that line. Tyro Smith needs

733
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: to go. He's a Hall of Famer, but he's always injured.

734
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: He does does you no good on the bench. Zach

735
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: Martin is getting up there and a they need to

736
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 2: really put together that line, and they also need a

737
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 2: bruiser as a running back.

738
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well it's hey, Chris Beam just pointed out here,

739
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: can Philly win the first game? I mean, you know,

740
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: the NFC kind of is getting hit in the mouth

741
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 1: a little bit here and and it's it's wide open,

742
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's wide open.

743
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: But I don't think anyone's beating San Francisco though.

744
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 9: Well, I mean they got on both sides of the ball.

745
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: Watch football last night. I mean, I mean, I understand

746
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: that not everyone's Baltimore, but I mean that I've all

747
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: also seen a team like Denver come in and beat

748
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and it kind of shake things up a

749
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: little bit, and then they're really not the same. We'll see.

750
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: Everyone's been waiting for Rock Party to have a four

751
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: interception type game and lose like that, and it happened.

752
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: They'll bounce back. But thanks for the call, Jeremy, good stuff.

753
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: I can hear the frustration there. What's the team going

754
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: to do? And I go back to last year because

755
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: last year they couldn't have entered the playoffs in any

756
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: worse shape than losing that they did in Washington. Wasn't

757
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: just a loss to Sam Howe in Washington. It was

758
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: just the way they played. It was just terrible. It

759
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: was like this, this is bad. Hopefully they'll turn it

760
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: on from the playoffs. And they did. They did everyone

761
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: but Maher turned it on in Tampa and it was

762
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: an amazing game. And then they went to San Francisco

763
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: and you felt different about it. And they played, they

764
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: were playing, and they had a shot there, and then

765
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: of course Pollard gets hurt, and I think that changed everything.

766
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: They still had their chances, they just didn't win. They weren't.

767
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: They weren't good enough to win that game. So I

768
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: think you just got they have to figure out a

769
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: way to get some momentum for them their confidence, not yours,

770
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: not mine, not anyone else's. And I can't harp on

771
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: that enough. So I get it. I mean, and I

772
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: go back to and I know y'all don't care, but

773
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you would have thought we're here

774
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: in Dallas, of how the Texas Rangers enter the playoffs,

775
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: You're like, oh God, they're not going to hardly win anything.

776
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: They're not very good and they're definitely not good on

777
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: the road. And they never lost a game at all,

778
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: and they will swin and swept the whole road and

779
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: won the World Series. Doesn't matter what we think, matters

780
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: what they think in that locker room or clubhouse or whatever.

781
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: Figure out a way to turn it on. And that's

782
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: what Mike McCarthy's job is, to figure out how to

783
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: do it. They don't have to be a great road

784
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: team in the regular season, but when whoever they're facing

785
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: right there, are they good enough to win? Where? I

786
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: think yes, when you look at this game, it's not

787
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: a moral victory or anything like that. They had a

788
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: chance to win, they didn't win. But are they good

789
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: enough to go on the road whoever they have to play,

790
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: face whatever challenge they have to face and win And

791
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: I think they can. I think they can do it

792
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: based off of what we've seen, how good we think

793
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: that they are. Can they can they win? Can they

794
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: be in the final five to ten minutes of the game.

795
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: Then it's up to them to go make the play

796
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe they will, maybe they won't. All right,

797
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: Jose in Minnesota is our next caller?

798
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 10: Yes, Hello, are you there?

799
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm here? How are you kay?

800
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 10: Oh? I'm doing just fine, man. I hope you had

801
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 10: a good Christmas.

802
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: I did first time caller.

803
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I've been the Dallas

804
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 10: Cowboys fan since I lived in mcallin Teche and I

805
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 10: live in the cold tundra.

806
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: We don't have many calls from Minnesota. I had to

807
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: go back and look on this state to make sure

808
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: we have some Minnesota. I think we had one, but

809
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: this is this like our second one for sure, so

810
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: it's not a state that's represented a lot.

811
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 10: Yeah, we have a lot of fans here. I mean

812
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 10: a lot of Spanish people who lived out in South

813
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 10: Texas move up up here. But yeah, but yeah, I

814
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 10: just you know, and you might have already pointed this

815
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 10: out while I was on hold, but you know, uh

816
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 10: what happened with the left tackle. There was a couple

817
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 10: of plays where the guy just flew by there another

818
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 10: point as well as you know, and again you probably

819
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 10: touched it. But you know, if we make it to

820
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 10: the playoffs, how are we going to get there if

821
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 10: we don't play you know, lights out? Because the way

822
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 10: that we played against Philly was like that absolutely amazing,

823
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 10: And you know, we do we do get a little emotional,

824
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 10: especially on you know Twitter. You know, I see everyone

825
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 10: you and everybody else on the you know, the writing

826
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 10: staff that people just go crazy and you know, we're

827
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 10: is tired of losing, you know, and a lot of

828
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 10: people say, you know, I'm tired of hearing your complaints. Like, yo, man,

829
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 10: I'm tired of losing. You know, life finally won a

830
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 10: super Bowl, you know, with the nineteen ninety five seasons.

831
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 10: So yeah, that's really all I got.

832
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: All right, all right, appreciate that. And that's just a

833
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: different mindset, you know what. I mean that to me,

834
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: that's not considered losing. But you know, not making the

835
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: Super BOWLD to me is not losing. But everyone feels differently,

836
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, the whole if you're not first, your last.

837
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: So I don't, I don't you're talking to the wrong

838
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: person on that. I've been doing this for twenty five

839
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: seasons and I haven't seen a Super Bowl or an

840
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: NFC championship game. So I maybe I'm not the right

841
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: person for that kind of sympathy because if I had

842
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: that mentality, I couldn't do this job. You know, I

843
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: couldn't have done it for twenty five years. So I'm

844
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: not saying my perspective, right, I'm just saying that's my perspective.

845
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: I've I started here, saw an eight and eight season

846
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: and then three five and eleven seasons and building here.

847
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: We are trying to build this, this, this website and

848
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: build you know, the fans, and and and getting them

849
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: to to come back, you know daily, and what are

850
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: we providing them so they can do that? You know,

851
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: it's not easy to do. And so my point is

852
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: is I look at things differently. I don't look at

853
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: it just in the playoffs and how they do in

854
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I take these games, I look I find

855
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: some things to to to make them interesting, knowing that,

856
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, let's see how this all happens when we

857
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, and you know, if they don't,

858
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: they don't win, they don't go to the super Bowl.

859
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't consider losing. I just consider it.

860
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 4: You know.

861
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm obviously disappointing and just keeps adding and growing to

862
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: the the drought, if you will. But you know, I

863
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: look for the silver lines. Maybe that's just that's just

864
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: what I have to do to kind of do this

865
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: thing every day. But I'm not telling you how to

866
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: how to be a fan. I mean, what works for

867
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: you'all was what works? Jose you said, you, yeah, We

868
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: did talk about Tuma obviously on left tackle, and he

869
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: just I mean he needed help. I mean I thought

870
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: they were two guys short on Chubb to block. I

871
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: thought he would need two guys to block, and they

872
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: at times thought zero and that that cost them. George

873
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: and Miami last caller of the day.

874
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 11: George Kello, Nick first time caller.

875
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Thank you? All right.

876
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 11: My opinion is, and I've been watching this for quite

877
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 11: a long time. I know it's easier said than done,

878
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 11: but this team needs to build in the trenches, whether

879
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 11: it's offensive line, defensive line, and you win championships in

880
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 11: the trenches. I remember Jimmy Johnson I was saying that

881
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 11: that's my biggest beef with this team. It seems like

882
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 11: when the game is on, especially the defensive, we just

883
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 11: cannot seem to release stuff these people. And that's my

884
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 11: biggest beef for the last few years.

885
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean, that's you're right, inside

886
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: out is how it works. And you know they're not

887
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: They're not strong enough to make these plays when they

888
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: need to go score and punch it in from the one.

889
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: Not only are they not running it in, but then

890
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: later in the game. They're not even trying to run in.

891
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean kind of get the sense that when they

892
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: had a ten yard sacke it's like, well, this will

893
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: help them score, and they did. They can't just they

894
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: can't just push their way in and they're getting pushed back.

895
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: It's not a good combination.

896
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 11: I hardly agree with that. That's where it needs to

897
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 11: start in my opinion. That's that's where championships are won.

898
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 11: And it's frustrating. I agree, tyrun's got to go and

899
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 11: you better get a better anchor, some really big hobs

900
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 11: in the middle of that flying.

901
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's a good start. Thanks for the call,

902
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: but let's also Kevin another point.

903
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 9: No, sorry, Kevin, one more point, No, no, no, that's it,

904
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 9: thank you.

905
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: Sir, thank you. You know real quick though, when you

906
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: look at this team, you know it starts. It starts within,

907
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: as you know, the trenches and all that. If you

908
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: look at that, they don't they're not not doing that.

909
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they they drafted Mazzi Smith in their mind,

910
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: drafting a defensive tackle twenty sixth overall, like this is

911
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: gonna show up there defensive line immediately. Hasn't been the case.

912
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: They drafted Tyler Smith the year before that to shore

913
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: up guard position immediately and then eventually left tackle. You know,

914
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: they drafted Micah Parsons. They didn't really think that he

915
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: was a pass rusher just yet. You know, that was

916
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: kind of from a linebacker standpoint, Ceedee Land the year

917
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: before or that, and then Tristan Hill defensive tackle in

918
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: the second round. It didn't work out either. So it's

919
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: not like they're not using resources to that. They got

920
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: to be better at it. And this team's drafted well,

921
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: but obviously they got to be better at that. I mean,

922
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: so I think that they know the issue, you know,

923
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: continuing to draft on the offensive line, and this year

924
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: they made a rare splash a defensive tackle and so

925
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: far hasn't hasn't worked. It hasn't worked. He hasn't been

926
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: the difference maker that they obviously thought he would be.

927
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: But you're not wrong, and you're and there's a lot

928
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: of callers that thought that. The offensive line, defensive line

929
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: right there in the center. That's been the problem. They're

930
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: getting pushed around on defense and they're not doing enough

931
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: pushing on offense, and that's just a bad combination, especially

932
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: when you're about to face some teams in the playoffs.

933
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: So the teams that are there are the teams that

934
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: are probably pretty good at doing that. Detroit is one

935
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: of them. Were obviously talked about them a little bit

936
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: more in the week. All right, thanks for everyone for

937
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: for calling today. Appreciate you guys coming back and sharing

938
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: your your thoughts and your frustrations. I get it. Tough loss,

939
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: but you know what, Cowboys still have some football ahead

940
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: of them. We'll see what they do with the opportunity.

941
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: All right. For Chris By, I'm Nick Eatman. We will

942
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow on Cowboys Storyline. See you.
