Speaker 2: Cowboys.

00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: Good morning, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: here Monday, January the eighth, twenty twenty four, and the

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys are your NFC East champions, number two seed

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. This is the this is the goal

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: in mind all year long, is to get the NFC

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: East title, of course, and you want to be the

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: number one seed and get the bye, but that didn't happen.

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: But best thing you get number best thing after that

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: is to get number two and you know, be at

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: home for two weeks. I definitely gonna be home for

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: two weeks now. And it doesn't mean you're gonna get

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: two games, but you're gonna be home for sure. And

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: Cowboys packers see it here on the screen here Sunday

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: at three thirty at at and T Stadium. Everything just

19
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: kind of went the way it was supposed to go yesterday.

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, I don't know what what

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: you guys were rooting for as far as the opponent

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: matchup and all that. I mean had to start with

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: the Cowboys with the win. Eagles loss was fine too,

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: even though it really didn't matter after the Cowboys win,

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 3: but I think watching them lose, I mean, everybody gets

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: excited about that. And then then after that, you know,

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: it just comes down to a preference and they're all

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: going to be good. I mean, everybody is going to

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: give the Cowboys, you know, I would think a tough game.

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: I think if you play you know, they played green Bay,

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: but if you had to play the Rams, you had

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: to play Seattle, even the Saints. I mean, everyone presents

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: a different challenge. But when Gilmour was walking off the field,

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 3: when they're holding his arm and you're like, okay, playing

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: the Rams without Gilmour and you already lost digs, that

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: didn't seem like a great, you know, great plan. So

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: when the Rams won and you ended up being with

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 3: the Packers, I think that's the better matchup. Obviously, green

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: Bay is going to be tough in their own way,

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: but I think it just all kind of worked out.

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: So all right, thirty eight to ten Cowboys, we'll talk

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: about that, we'll talk about what it means moving forward.

43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: We'll talk anything you want. Eight eight eight eight five

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: five two two nine seven. You can text a eight

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight. Let's

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: get us started off before before we do, hold on,

47
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: before we do, I want to mention one thing real

48
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: quick before we kind of get going here on if

49
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 3: you watch the last Friday show and you saw we

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: did the ticket giveaway with Shelby and Virginia since was

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: able to provide two tickets, we had the trivia question.

52
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: It was a pretty tough question. I thought Mark and

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: Philadelph if you answered it, he was able to go

54
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: to the game. We were there, we got to see

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: both of them. They sat together, We took a photo

56
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: with them. Chris Bean was there with me and so

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: we were able to get a nice photo on there

58
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: on the field, and they had a great game and

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: a great seat to me, really awesome seats. They're right

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: by the Cowboys tunnel and it was it was awesome.

61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 3: A lot of touchdowns happened right in front of them,

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: so good good times for the for them, and it

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: was awesome for Cowboys storyline to be able to kind

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: of help with that. So that was really one of

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: the most enjoyable moments we've had on the show so far,

66
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: and I'm glad it kind of all worked out. So

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: really cool stuff. All right, Michael, and Colton, California is

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: our first caller, Michael, what's up?

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: What's going on? Shut up to the whole Cowboys nation.

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me on.

71
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: All right.

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 4: Hey, I just I just want to say, how about

73
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 4: them Cowboys?

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Nick?

75
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: And also I just think, you know, you know, I

76
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: have pauled and you know, and and said I had

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: my doubts whatever. But I'm gonna be the first to say,

78
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: you know, Dak Prescott went out went out there and

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: balled out. And I heard I heard another show last

80
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: night the people saying, oh, it wasn't a quality opponent.

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, they're all professionals there

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: any given Sunday, anybody could beat anybody. So I'm not

83
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: trying to hear that. I just want to say, you know,

84
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for the Cowboys, and I just think it's

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 4: it's it's pretty awesome to see the complete turn of events.

86
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: You know, we went from those two losses in Buffalo

87
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 4: and Miami and man, I'm not gonna lie. Man, I

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 4: was a nace there.

89
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: You know.

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: I love my Cowboys and I'm rocking with them all day.

91
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: I don't care good or not. I'm still rocking with them,

92
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 4: you know. But it's just been cool to see the

93
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: complete turnaround. And I would say, right now, we have

94
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 4: the balls in our court. It couldn't have played out

95
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: any other way, you know what I'm saying, any other

96
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: better way, excuse me, and the balls in our court,

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: and I would like to see the Cowboys capitalize on that.

98
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: And Dak Prescott, Man, I'm rooting for you, man, And

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 4: I know my opinion probably don't mean nothing, you know,

100
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: but I'm rooting for him, and and I'm just I'm

101
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: loving it right now. Man. I'm high on the Cowboys

102
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: right now. Man, straight up, Let's go Cowboys, And thank you,

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: thanks for.

104
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: Having thanks man, appreciate it. Good starting way to way

105
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: to get it rolling. Loving on Dak Prescott right now.

106
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: He's had a it was a heck of a turnaround

107
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: this year. I mean it really was. I mean he

108
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: he he led the league in interceptions last season and

109
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: now he led the league in touchdowns.

110
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

111
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: That's that's the that's the stat you want to be

112
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: first in. He's second in I think quarterback rating and

113
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: and with a one oh five nine one, five, three

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 3: some something like that. That's how he finished, which is

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: the second highest in in Cowboys history as well, behind

116
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: one year that Romo had, but second highest and career

117
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: high for for for Dak. So I mean, just an

118
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: unbelievable turnaround. Uh, give a lot of credit to Dak.

119
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 3: He doesn't listen to you guys. He doesn't listen to us.

120
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: He doesn't listen to the naysayers. He doesn't listen to

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: the people, you know, to to some of the positive stuff.

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: He really doesn't. He kind of he understands that, you know,

123
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: what's in front of him and has a belief on

124
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: how to get there. And you know, you got to

125
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: give him and Mike McCarthy and this whole coaching staff,

126
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: you know that they were able to kind of turn

127
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: things around for him in a major way. It's really

128
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: been awesome, all right, Anthony and Seattle's our next caller, Hey, Nick,

129
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: how you doing this good?

130
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: How are you doing?

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 5: I'm doing well? Man? Hey man. Again, just like all

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 5: Cowboys fans, just really happy that we didn't go in

133
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 5: there and play with our food. We went in there,

134
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 5: took care of business, got things done, and now we

135
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 5: can get ready for when real football gets ready to hit,

136
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: which is the playoffs. What's interesting about this is I

137
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 5: was starting to see a lot of narratives that have

138
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 5: come through, and I wanted to get your thoughts on it.

139
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 5: So Mike McCarthy when he first took over in twenty twenty,

140
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 5: you know, abysmal season, right, not the start that we wanted,

141
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: you know, and obviously not for a lot of teams.

142
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: You know, COVID was a big issue at that time.

143
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 5: But over the next three seasons, twelve wins, right, twelve

144
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 5: wins each season. Just a few weeks ago, they were

145
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 5: talking about the possibility of a Mike McCarthy extension. They

146
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 5: also mentioned the same thing with Dak Prescott. And now

147
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, I'm starting to see a lot

148
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 5: of narratives that's coming through that's saying that Mike McCarty

149
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 5: is on the hot seat, And I'm kind of confused.

150
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 5: Are you hearing that too? Can you?

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: I Mean everyone said.

152
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: Like yeah, like, but but I don't understand that, like

153
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: if I mean, we've been through the Jason Garrett administration

154
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: where we went through numbers of eight and eight seasons, man,

155
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 5: and when we got a coach that can consistently win

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 5: twelve wins for the past three years. That's that's not easy. Man.

157
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 5: If it was easy, every coach would be doing it.

158
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: So how about how about any coach would do it

159
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: right in Cowboy's history. Nobody in history of the Cowboys,

160
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: not not Landry, not Jimmy, not Switz or not Parcel.

161
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: Nobody has done that. So so yeah, so Nick to that.

162
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 5: So to that point, they asked Jerry about it, right,

163
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 5: and you know, I know Jerry has to give you know,

164
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 5: a and it almost felt like it was a motivating answer, right.

165
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 5: It was like it was like, if if you know,

166
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 5: what do you think of Mike Mcca. I can't remember

167
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 5: the exact question I'm paraphrasing, but in essense, he just said,

168
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 5: we just got to see how the playoff games go.

169
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 5: And I'm like, okay, I get that, but is this

170
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: not the coach you want coaching your team moving forward?

171
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

172
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 5: I don't know.

173
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: He also says it's umber his Mike's numbers speak for themselves,

174
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: you know, he did.

175
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: He did say that.

176
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: You know, he doesn't really want to want to answer

177
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: a lot of the questions like that right right now,

178
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: you know, because everyone's going to have a different mindset

179
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: when it ends, Harvard ends whatever. But I mean, I

180
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: don't think you can ignore what he's done and so far.

181
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: You know, twelve wins and three and you know, back

182
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: to back to back seasons is unheard of here and

183
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: and it and it speaks to the level of consistency

184
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: that Jerry is looking for. This is the higher Jerry

185
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: made because he wanted them to be at that level

186
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: and they are. And so there's one thing right now

187
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 3: that he hasn't been able to do, and that's be

188
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: better than San Francisco. You know, that's it. You're not

189
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: better than San Francisco and that and that that has

190
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: been the issue. But I don't think you fire a

191
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 3: coach because he's not better than one team. I think

192
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: you go and you try to get better than that team.

193
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 3: And so that's what I think.

194
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate that, Nick, And you know, if everything

195
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 5: plays out, we'll find out who's a better team against

196
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 5: San Francisco when we meet a NSC championship game.

197
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: Right, that's right? All right, all right, thanks Anthony, good stuff.

198
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that that needs to be

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: I'm glad that Anthony was was a caller there. And and

200
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: and everyone's going to have their different opinions about about

201
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: McCarthy or or whatever. I just think from a consistency standpoint,

202
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: says what you're asking for. You you want a team

203
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: to be a consistent winner like that. And you know,

204
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: let's not I don't care, you know what what Washington's

205
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: record is. I mean we we kind of thought, you know,

206
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: it was going to be a tough game. And I

207
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: think I said it here. Was it last week or

208
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: two weeks ago? I think it was last week when

209
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 3: I was like, if you see a team start off

210
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: a game and they start running reverses and pitches and

211
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: and throwbacks and tied end you know, takes the quarterbacks

212
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: nap and all that stuff, they're gonna get their ass kicked.

213
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: They are, and and they and they did. I mean,

214
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: you're going for on fourth down and all that. You

215
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: just know when the game when the when you play

216
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: four quarters of that and it's not going to hold up.

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: It's not.

218
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 6: And you know it.

219
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: That's why that that you you're installing all that. And

220
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: and the Cowboys they had a little bit of a

221
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: lull there in the second quarter or late first quarter,

222
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: second quarter, they dominated that game absolute domination. Washington basically

223
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 3: had two plays. They basically had a block field goal

224
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: that returned and got them in great field position, and

225
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: then they had a tipped interception. And the funny thing

226
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: is is everything the Cowboys gave them they took back.

227
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 3: They had a tipped interception and turned it into a touchdown.

228
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: They had a block punt turned that into a touchdown,

229
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: and then a lot of other plays along the way.

230
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: I thought the Cowboys were really strong yesterday. I thought

231
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: that was a really good game. I don't care what

232
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: it is. A division win on the road with a

233
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: chance to win, hats and t shirts on the line,

234
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: and they went in there and they took care of business.

235
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: And I think the Cowboy fans should be excited about

236
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: the way they played in that game, regardless of what

237
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: Washington's record is. All right, let's let me get a

238
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: couple of tex questions here. This is Steven Virginia. He said, Nick,

239
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: how much are you concerned about Aubrey's game yesterday? Playing

240
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: with his head going forward?

241
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 5: Now?

242
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 3: He missed a field goal that hit the upright, that's it.

243
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: I mean, that's his only miss of the season. He

244
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: kicked the ball, hit the upright in Washington. I mean,

245
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: if you go if you were down there, and most

246
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: people weren't, but some people were in this in the stadium.

247
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: Uh that conditions that wind. You kind of figured it

248
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: was going to be something like that. So for him

249
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: to miss that kick and that's it, that's the only

250
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: miss that. Don't don't throw any other play out there. Okay,

251
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: if you're not gonna block anyone, then yeah, you're you're

252
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: gonna miss a miss a lot of other kicks because

253
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna get blocked. So if you're not gonna block,

254
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: then yeah. But I'm talking about kicking the ball, striking

255
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: it and getting it through the uprights. He hit the

256
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: upright and he missed it. He comes back and hits

257
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 3: a fifty yarder. I mean, are you concerned? I mean

258
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: I'm not. I mean, hit the fifty arder. Shit should help,

259
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: It should help. Fantastic season. Arguably, you could make the

260
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: case this is this is one of the best seasons

261
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: by any kicker in the history of the NFL, not

262
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: just rookies, no, in the NFL. When when for a

263
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 3: place kicker to do what he did last year or

264
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: this year, it's that's phenomenal. So now I'm not really

265
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: concerned at all. Another text question, this is from Mike

266
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: in Orlando, say, is it fair to say the organization

267
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 3: has moved on from Gallup? There was a couple of

268
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: plays where Dak had him open but went somewhere else

269
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: with the ball as random Cowboys Kendall Watkins blocking tight end,

270
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: don't don't have a lot of stories on him, just

271
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: Big eighty three.

272
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 2: I believe.

273
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: Michael Gallup. I don't have him moved on. It's not

274
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 3: safe to say, I know. I mean, I don't. I

275
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 3: don't think they've moved on at all. And in fact,

276
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 3: I mean, if you just look at his contract, I

277
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: don't know why you wouldn't why he wouldn't be on

278
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: the team next year. It's going to cost the exact

279
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: same thing to keep him then to then to cut him.

280
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: So I don't I don't see that happening, honestly. I mean,

281
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens in the off season. Maybe there's

282
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: a trade or something. I don't know, but now and

283
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: then and that that through through to him a couple

284
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 3: I mean, the interception, the interception that he that he

285
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: threw that got tipped up in the air.

286
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: Was actually thrown to him.

287
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: So but but no, he's not he I mean, he's

288
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: made some some play again, We're gone. I'm not doing this,

289
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: Michael Gallup like carousel again. It happens all the time,

290
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: goes in some lulls, everyone calls in here, what's wrong

291
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: with them?

292
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: All that?

293
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: And then next thing you know, he's he makes a catch,

294
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: makes a play, creates, you know, forces a pass interference penalty.

295
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: He's he's like your he's like your fourth receiving option.

296
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: That's what he is.

297
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: When I don't know why we're really talking about it, honestly,

298
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: it's just it's just not the time to really talk

299
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: about that. And if it comes down to money, that's

300
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: not the Cowboy's problem right now. They're not worried about.

301
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: Get to the off season. They see they'll they'll make

302
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: some decisions on what they want to do with that.

303
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: All right. Our next caller is Joe in Western New York. Okay,

304
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: here we go first time. All Right, what's up, man,

305
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: how are you doing?

306
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 7: I'm doing well, cowboy fan up here in Buffalo Land.

307
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what did you think about the game?

308
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 5: Well?

309
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 7: I like the games. There a couple of things I've

310
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 7: got the concerns on and that's on a special teams. Okay,

311
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 7: haven't we how many times have we had a fake

312
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 7: punt where they got the first down? Is it twice

313
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 7: this year?

314
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

315
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 7: And then yeah, so the special team on the punt

316
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 7: and then the specially letting that guy get through to

317
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 7: block that kick. It's uncalled for. I mean, yeah, my

318
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 7: concern is I'm hoping they look at the special teams

319
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 7: and get that done. The other thing, do we have

320
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 7: a stats on third down conversions on four yards or less?

321
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure there is, Yes, there is a stat on that.

322
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they have stats for everything, honestly, but I'm

323
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: sorry I don't have that one in front of me.

324
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 7: Like, my question is why on some of them they

325
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 7: always bunch up and just try and push it through

326
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 7: the middle. Why don't we do any RPOs?

327
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a good answer for you. I

328
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: I think that I don't like the fact that they

329
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: they do that a lot. They do kind of bunch up,

330
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: and I don't love that because the guys that you're

331
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: bunching together don't to me, aren't as strong as the

332
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: guys on the other side. I would rather, I would

333
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: rather create space and try to get away from him,

334
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: because I mean I saw it in a game against

335
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: Detroit last week. They put Tolbert, they slide Tolbert down

336
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: into the line of scrimmage. He just he just kind

337
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: of muddies it up a little bit. And he's not

338
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: big enough to make a difference. It's not like you're

339
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: bringing in, you know, like a really strong, powerful blocker

340
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: in there.

341
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

342
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: I've never understood the bunch formation when when you aren't

343
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: when you don't have it's like playing big boy football

344
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: when you're not the biggest boy. So that that's that,

345
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: You're right, I don't understand that part either, But I'm

346
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: not really with you special teams though. I mean, they

347
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 3: gave up some plays. They've made more plays than they've

348
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 3: given up by far, but I mean, I.

349
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 7: Mean two fake punts and not even have anybody cover

350
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 7: the guys.

351
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: Well, that, yeah, that's a problem because they want to

352
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 3: play Tulbert and if you go back and watch Tilbert,

353
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: it's been the guy. I think I think on both

354
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: of those, So I that one that they need to

355
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: fix that unless they're gonna move Tolbert to cornerback, which

356
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: they're not. So I don't understand why they're making him

357
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: play corner. He's not a corner, and so on that

358
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 3: play when they fake it, he becomes a defensive player

359
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: and that's not that's not what he is. So they

360
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: they need to they need to get they need to

361
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: change that because I think teams are going to keep

362
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: seeing that.

363
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 7: I'm ready.

364
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, all right, Joe, thanks for the call,

Speaker 6: Joseph, Hey, good, good morning, Nick.

372
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 6: I feel like that was just a complete team win. Yeah,

373
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 6: it's excited the fact that they you knows, as another

374
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 6: caller said earlier, didn't play with their food out there

375
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 6: and took care of business.

376
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 8: It was a big, big wind.

377
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 6: Also, first time callers, all right, had to make sure

378
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 6: to call in today. I was just too excited to

379
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 6: hold it back. And I'm really excited to see where

380
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: this team goes. I think we are one of the

381
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 6: most complete teams that I think we've seen under Mike

382
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 6: McCarthy's under Mike McCarthy's rain here, and I would like

383
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 6: to just see where this takes us.

384
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 2: Now.

385
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 6: It's it's exciting.

386
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely exciting for sure. I mean, I don't

387
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: know what else, what else to say. I mean, like

388
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: this is one of those things that it's been kind

389
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: of called it no Man's land for a while where

390
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 3: you know, everyone wants to just see what happens in

391
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 3: the playoffs, but you can't get there. I mean, we've

392
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: been doing this all year. What happened in the playoffs,

393
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: what happened in the playoffs? Well, now we get to

394
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 3: find out, we get to finally find out, you know,

395
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: that this thing really matters. But yeah, they had to

396
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: get there, and the Cowboys had to be focused in

397
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 3: every game, including this last one.

398
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: Then they were yes.

399
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 6: So McCarthy had them dialed in. I felt like they

400
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 6: were just completely ready for this game. It seemed like,

401
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 6: you know, even with some of the things that happened

402
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 6: early on in the first half, it just felt like,

403
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 6: you know, it just never felt like you were completely

404
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 6: out of the game, even with some of the struggles,

405
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 6: you know, with that tip pick for Dak and some

406
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 6: of the things that just happened early on that just

407
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 6: kind of really kind of was trying to take the

408
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 6: wind out of yourselves and make you really stress a little.

409
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 6: But they overcame a lot of those issues and just

410
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 6: really pushed hard to really prove that they're one of

411
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 6: those teams that needs to be there. Yeah, deserves to

412
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 6: be talked about.

413
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 7: Loved it.

414
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 6: I just loved every minute of it. Thought it was

415
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 6: a great game, and loved how the end the season

416
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 6: exactly knowing especially knowing that Washington was gonna come out

417
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 6: there and try to punch us right in the chief.

418
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they they tried. You know, they just didn't

419
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 3: have they just didn't have enough firepower. And it was

420
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: you know, it took a little bit to get there.

421
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: I mean Washington did the same thing as San Francisco.

422
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: A week before, sure, you know exactly.

423
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 3: And San Francisco, but by the fourth quarter, you know,

424
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: third fourth quarter, you just keep leaning on someone and

425
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 3: and and you finally you're gonna you're gonna win. And

426
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 3: that's that's what what happened in this one as well.

427
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, sir, all right, Well, pretty.

428
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 3: Excited, Nick Day, thank you, all right, you too, that's

429
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 3: first time caller, Chris.

430
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: We got a. Here we go, Joe.

431
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: So all right, let's go get another text question here,

432
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: we've got to we're working the text line today. This

433
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: is from Jay hen in Wichitak, Kansas. What are your

434
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: thoughts on Dak winning in VP. I think it should

435
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: be noted and he set out maybe four or five

436
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: fourth quarters this season, tied for the second best record

437
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: in the league. He could have easily padded staff. You're

438
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: right about that. It's that tied for the second best

439
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: record in the league. It's not really about the stats.

440
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: I think it was that second best record and who

441
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: has the first who has the best record, and I

442
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 3: believe it was Baltimore and Lamar Jackson, and so I

443
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: mean that's that's what I think Dak will probably finish second,

444
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 3: and the voting that's what I would imagine. But Lamar

445
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: has you know, I think he's deserved it too. So then,

446
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: and they're really good, and they're good on a lot

447
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 3: of ways. I mean they're good on defense too. But

448
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: he's he's so tough man. He is, he is tough

449
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: to deal with, and so I don't think that should

450
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 3: be I mean, I don't think anyone should be disappointed, really,

451
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: and he's had a great, great season, but I think

452
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's had He's had just as good of a season,

453
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: if not better, and then his team is better and

454
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: his team has had a better record. So that's usually

455
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 3: what it comes down to. And I'm fine with that.

456
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: You know, Offensive Player of the Year. I don't think

457
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 3: that would be him.

458
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: I think, I.

459
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: Mean Tyreek Hill was up there, but I mean CD's

460
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 3: numbers too, are off the chart. I mean that's one

461
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: hundred and I think he's one hundred and thirty three catches,

462
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: sixth most in the history of the league. One hundred

463
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: and thirty three catches. I mean, remember we were talking

464
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: about him breaking Michael Irvans's record for one twelve. That

465
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: was last game he broke it. Now nine finishes with

466
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: one thirty three. That's that's amazing. I'm the only person

467
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: that's not probably loving that is Steven Jones and Jerry

468
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: Jones and having to do that contract, you know, because

469
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: that's why that's why you get the deals done, you know,

470
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: And that's why that's one reason why you get them done,

471
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 3: because if you don't now, I mean, you don't think

472
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: that price DAG hasn't gone up a little bit so

473
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: all right, let's go to Dave in South Dakota day.

483
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: It was Tyron Smith's for a year, That's how long.

490
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: you know a few years ago he was holding out

491
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: for the money and stuff like that, and us, as

492
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans, we think, hey, you should just want to play.

493
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: You should play for free. You know, you should play

494
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: for minimum wage. The guy's worth every penny they pay him.

495
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he just shows up every week and does

496
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: the dirty stuff and you know, gets the tackles for

497
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: a loss.

498
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: He gets the last.

499
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Night, you know, bat at his arm and yeah, causes

500
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: an interception.

501
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: Sure didn't.

502
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: He just shout out to tank man, he's a stud.

503
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: Good, good, You're right. I'm glad you said that. I mean,

504
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: he really does. And us he's not the main pass

505
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: rusher anymore obviously, and Micah has that, and he does,

506
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: like you said, the dirty work, but he seems to

507
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: make those big plays, especially on against the run. You

508
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: know how many times he's been knifing through there on

509
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: third and one, fourth and one and and make these

510
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: plays exactly.

511
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's a stud against the run and they

512
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: can run away from him and he tracks it down

513
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: from the back side and just yeah. And then I

514
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: just got to say another event in Frisco, Texas yesterday,

515
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,640

Speaker 2: Not all right?

532
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 8: So he seemed like a home game last night to

533
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 8: that's right, Yeah it did.

534
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: There was a lot of a lot of Cowboy fans

535
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: there and they were allowed.

536
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: They were allowed that. They definitely showed half for sure.

537
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 8: Well, my my first Cowboys game, nick was was up

538
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 8: in Dallas versus Green Bay.

539
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 9: I believe it was.

540
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 8: Matt Flynn came down and played Lacey's the rookie year,

541
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 8: I believe, right.

542
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was.

543
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 5: I went.

544
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 8: I went with some family members from Texas, big Green

545
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 8: Bay fans. You know, first half that Ryan caught that

546
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 8: toe tip at the back of land zone, you know,

547
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 8: throwing the X up make you know, three to three.

548
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 8: It couldn't get any better than that. Then the second

549
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 8: half came, Eddie Lacy came you know that. You know,

550
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 8: everything was looking good, Everything is looking good. Let me.

551
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 8: Let me put it that way. Green Bay is the

552
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 8: only one I believe that besides all the other teams

553
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 8: travel really good, man, that's one thing we're gonna have

554
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 8: to try to keep up with them.

555
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna have They're gonna have a lot of

556
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: fans there, There's no doubt about it. And and you know,

557
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 3: and their fans stand out like literally, I mean, who

558
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: else is wearing a cheese head? So yeah, I mean

559
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: they stand out and they're allowed and they're you know,

560
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: but I mean they're not the only team that that's

561
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 3: ever had a lot of fans in here. And and

562
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, you just gotta get overcome it.

563
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to be better than the Packers.

564
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: I mean that's it. You gotta be better than them

565
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: on the field. So and I think that they will be.

566
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: But but yeah, I mean it's not like it's just

567
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: going to be you know, quiet for for when when

568
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: Dallas has the ball.

569
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 8: Yeah. Another thing was I mean second seed. You think

570
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 8: we were second seeds better than the fifteed But the

571
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 8: way everything laid out, you think we're we're in the

572
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 8: spot we want to be.

573
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I definitely think that in the spot that that

574
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: they want to be. This is this is as good

575
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: as it could be right now. Thanks, thanks for the call, Joe.

576
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: That might have been first caller there for Joe. I

577
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: don't know first time, but you know I I after

578
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 3: losing to the forty nine er the way they did

579
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: there we go, here we go, that was for you, Joe.

580
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 3: If you know, they lost to the Niners are obviously

581
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 3: earlier in the season, and this is gonna be you

582
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 3: we knew right there it was gonna be hard to

583
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 3: pass them. So yeah, I mean you would like, I

584
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: like to have a first round by and just automatically

585
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 3: go into the divisional round.

586
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: And yeah, that that's where you would like to be.

587
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: But uh if if if it's not that.

588
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: Then it's this, you know, and you're playing a nine

589
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: and eight football team that that's playing better, you know,

590
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: I think, I mean, they they're playing better to get

591
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: into the playoffs. But you know, they lost to the

592
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: Giants like three weeks ago. They beat the Panthers by

593
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: a field goal, so they're not world beaters, but they

594
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: are in the playoffs and they are, you know, and

595
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 3: they fill they beat the Chiefs on the road, I mean,

596
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: they beat the Vikings. So they probably will have some

597
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: confidence I'm sure going into this game. But I mean again,

598
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: I think when you look at their body of work

599
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: that they haven't been as good. And that's why you're

600
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: a seventh seed and so and that's why they're an underdog.

601
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: Pretty big underdog actually. So all right, let's get get

602
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: moving here, Rob in Vegas, here we go, nickg okay, Rob,

603
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: let's go.

604
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 9: They accomplished the mission we go. They went in there,

605
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 9: took care of business. Number two seed. You got to

606
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 9: come through at and t you know, I read your article.

607
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 9: What's different about this team? I mean, best quarterback in

608
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 9: the NFC, I mean, best wide receiver in the NFC,

609
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 9: maybe in the league right now, best defensive player, best kicker,

610
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 9: and as home field advantage in the league. I mean,

611
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 9: what else is there? They are, they are primed, they're healthy, Knockwood.

612
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 9: I mean, let's go, this is it.

613
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 8: Let's go.

614
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 9: We kept saying twelve and five is great, twelve and

615
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 9: five is great, twelve and five is great. But you

616
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 9: got to keep building. You got to keep taking the

617
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 9: next step and no more excuses. You get a I

618
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 9: dig a favorable matchup. I'm glad that the Rams pulled

619
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 9: it out. Not that I didn't think we could beat them,

620
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 9: but let them go. Let them in Detroit go beat

621
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 9: each other up. And I think I think it's a

622
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 9: favorable matchup. We usually do very good against teams like

623
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 9: Green Bay on the cusps, you know, kind of like

624
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 9: Tampa Bay last year in the playoffs. And I just

625
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 9: think we're just ready to rock and roll. Fans should

626
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 9: be should be happy, Fans should be going crazy at

627
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 9: at and tea. Yeah, the Packer fans will travel, but

628
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 9: only if the Cowboys fans get up their tickets, which

629
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 9: hopefully they don't. But I just think, listen, it was great.

630
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 9: It was a great It was shaky to begin not shaky,

631
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 9: but I'm sure a lot of fans, like people say,

632
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 9: were like here we go. Yeah, yeah, the tip, the ball,

633
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 9: the block they were. I mean, you had to play

634
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 9: defense for four downs, which is hard because they were

635
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 9: going forward on any play right then then all of

636
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 9: a sudden, it was I said, you score right before half,

637
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 9: you score right after half. In game over, I thought

638
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 9: they kept I know, I think I think I criticized McCarthy.

639
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 9: I thought he kept the starters at a little too long.

640
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 9: I was yet like, what are we doing? This game

641
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 9: is out of reach, but it worked out and I'm

642
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 9: excited that. I mean, I can't wait.

643
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 8: Rob.

644
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: If you're excited, we're excited. That's awesome.

645
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 9: So I got to give a shout out. That's right,

646
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 9: And I got to give a shout out. I criticized

647
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 9: them the modecawk.

648
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 5: He showed up.

649
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 2: He did, he played, he played better. He sure did yesterday.

650
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: You're right about that.

651
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, he showed up. Like I said, he was in

652
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 9: witness protection. Like Donovan Wilson. Donovan Wilson made another great

653
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 9: play fall enough. Yeah, if they're listening to the show

654
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 9: and they're hearing it, keep listening. And the young guys

655
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 9: on the offensive line I played great.

656
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna mention them. Yeah, you're right, thanks

657
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: for the call. Rob as always, Uh Rob excited. I mean, Rob, hey,

658
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: this thing, this thing's been a roller coaster all year

659
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: long as well, and and he calls it like it is,

660
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: but uh, you you have to be excited about where

661
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 3: this team is and how how they finished and how

662
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: they took care of business in that game. And that's

663
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: kind of what I wrote in my article about this

664
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: is why, Yeah, people keep out does it feel different?

665
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: Does this one feel different? And it does, and yesterday

666
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: was an example of that. There's been times where injuries

667
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: have really hurt this team, especially on one position, and

668
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: we get both guards out. Zach Martin's out right before

669
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 3: the kickoff. It's like he's out of the game because

670
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: he's sick. Tyler Smith out and these guys were practicing

671
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: this week, so you thought, you know that they were

672
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: gonna play, so you have to put TJ. Bass and

673
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: brock Hoffman in there. And they didn't change anything.

674
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: They ran the ball right there.

675
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 3: And in fact, I mean Pollard there was several times

676
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: Pollard seven eight, nine yards. So and I'm happy for

677
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: Tony Pollar to get in a thousand yards.

678
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

679
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: If people think, well that doesn't matter, well do it,

680
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: then do it two years in a row. Because he's

681
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: only sixcore six running backs. I've ever done it in

682
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: Cowboys history and and he's one of them. So that's

683
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 3: that was that was impressive. And you know, he did

684
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: it all year long. I mean he's not the biggest guy, uh,

685
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: but but he was healthy, ran the ball as hard

686
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: as he can.

687
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I have a lot of respect for Tony Pollard.

688
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: I really do. I don't. I don't think he is

689
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: a you know, lead premiere back.

690
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: He probably needs to be a number two, a real

691
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: shifty number two back, and and that was his role, that's.

692
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: What you know.

693
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: But I think that that he did, he didn an

694
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 3: admirable job this season and obviously not not done. But yeah,

695
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 3: I'm glad Rob said that about the guards and that

696
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: the both guards really did a good job there and

697
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: be honest show, I mean, all three of them right

698
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: there in the center. I thought, moved people around.

699
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: It was.

700
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: It was really good.

701
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 3: All right, let's go with got a question here text

702
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 3: question from Dan and Philly. So what are your thoughts

703
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: on the guards Hoffman and Bath? Yes, I agree they

704
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: played well.

705
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: I just mentioned that Aubrey not a concerned at all.

706
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: I agree with that.

707
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 3: How about Troy Hambrick as my random cowboy, it's Dan

708
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 3: and Philly boy. Troy Hambrick, that was he was, he

709
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 3: was something. It's funny you say that after Washington. I remember,

710
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: I remember it came in Washington. I guess it would

711
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: be twenty years ago, two thousand and three. He had

712
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: about one hundred and seventy five yards in that game,

713
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: and he ran the ball really well. They dominated Washington

714
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 3: that day and that I just remember him. I just

715
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: remember him in the postgame presco.

716
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: He was funny. He was funny. I'll just leave it

717
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: at that.

718
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, Eric Bickerstaff also scored a touchdown in that game.

719
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 3: Just a little little throwback there. They beat the beat

720
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 3: Washington twenty seven to nothing. I think we woke up

721
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 3: and it was snowing all over the field and snowing there.

722
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 3: Terrence Newman had three picks. It's been twenty years. Can't

723
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 3: believe that. But yeah, good, good one for Troy Hambrick.

724
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 3: But I agree on the Aubrey is not a A's

725
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: not concerned. He comes back, hits the kicks. He's been fine,

726
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 3: big body of work there, so I think he'll be

727
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 3: fine moving into the playoffs. All right, Travis in San

728
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 3: Antonio's next, Let's go, Nick, Let's go.

729
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 2: Travis just wanted to.

730
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 10: I was hoping to get out before because not that

731
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 10: I want to, because I just wanted to. Like this

732
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 10: is why we said three weeks ago. Even I even said,

733
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 10: like in the second half of the game, like the

734
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 10: seed could change just by all the results. So you know,

735
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 10: when we were saying like it changes fast in the NFL,

736
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 10: Like like three weeks ago, everyone was like, Oh, it's

737
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 10: gonna be road road, road, and now it's I mean,

738
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 10: it's it's right there for you. So you never, like

739
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 10: I think talking about it. I think that hopefully everyone's

740
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 10: learned a lesson, like talking about three weeks ago. Let's

741
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 10: let's just see tell me who's available. Who were like

742
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 10: you say all the time, tell me who's available, who

743
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 10: are we playing? And then let's figure it out. But

744
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 10: like even that second half of the of the games

745
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 10: last yesterday, like things could change, so you just don't know.

746
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 10: It's all you know, playoffs matchups. Yeah, so I think

747
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 10: it's favorable. You gotta, like you said before, but you

748
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 10: can't watch that game and not give brock Hoffman, who

749
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 10: I was anticipating playing, and then uh TJ. Bass you know,

750
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 10: their love because they they did a great job not

751
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 10: saying we don't want Tyler Swift and Zach Martin back.

752
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 10: But I mean, I think that gives you a little

753
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 10: bit of It gives you a little more calm, right

754
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 10: with with them being backups that they can get the

755
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 10: job done. I think I don't know about you, but

756
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 10: I think that corner route that Cooks runs, I said

757
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 10: like three weeks ago on Twitter, is like his best

758
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 10: route by far, and nobody has defended it well yet. Yeah,

759
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 10: so keep doing that down there. I was happy that

760
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 10: they that lif Key you know, got a good lead

761
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 10: block down to the goal line there. Pollard filed them

762
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 10: right in. So that was good to see. And I

763
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 10: don't know, it just it sets up really well for

764
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 10: them right now. And I just want to see what

765
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 10: you think other than that it's what's rock and roll?

766
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's rock and roll, all right, Travis, appreciate that.

767
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: You know you're right about that, Cooks. It's been three

768
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: games in a row where it's just right there in

769
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 3: the corner. I mean, I think it's a credit. It's

770
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: not just cooked. I mean, that is a perfect pass

771
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: that Dak is just like dropping right there in the bucket.

772
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: And so that right there is is that's the connection.

773
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: That's the part that I think is really really good

774
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 3: here is Dak has now three guys that he has

775
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 3: a really really strong connection with, none bigger than CD.

776
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: I mean, he kidd me thirteen targets yesterday, thirteen receptions.

777
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: I mean it's like they're just like the balls just

778
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: connected to both of them. I mean, it's it's it's

779
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 3: unreal with what they're doing right now with both of them.

780
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: But then you throw Cooks in there as well. You know,

781
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 3: they have a goal line connection as well. That's one

782
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: of the things that are really doing a nice job

783
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 3: around the goal line throwing the ball in there.

784
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: Cooks.

785
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: You know, there's eight touchdowns this year. And then Ferguson's

786
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: another guy. I mean, Ferguson seventy one catches about seven

787
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards. You know, that's there's not a

788
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 3: lot of tight ends in Cowboy's history that have done

789
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 3: that seventy and seven hundred, you know, it being the

790
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 3: second or third option. But Ferguson made a play yesterday

791
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: right in front of the Cowboys sideline where it was

792
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: just short of the sticks. He caught it and then

793
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 3: just kind of slithered his way behind one guy or

794
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 3: you know, and then then we was spending and turning

795
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: and it was probably going to be a six or

796
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: seven yard play and he ended up getting like thirteen yards.

797
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: And that right there is just that is what a

798
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: dynamic tight end can give you. If you got that,

799
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 3: you got a playmaking tight end that can make plays

800
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: over the middle and then get it from seven eight

801
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: yards to ten to fifteen and move the sticks. That right,

802
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 3: there is a difference makers. That's what Jake Ferguson has

803
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,479
Speaker 3: been this year. He's really taking this team to another level.

804
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 5: You know.

805
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 3: One thing I was gonna mention though, is you know,

806
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 3: just when you talk about the storylines, you know, obviously

807
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: this is the show.

808
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: Is the storyline. If if you were.

809
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 3: Like this was like a Bowl games or they this

810
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 3: in March Madness where they actually picked the matchups, I mean,

811
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 3: if this is what it was, We're like, all right,

812
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 3: here are the playoff teams. Let's just figure out the matchups.

813
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 3: You couldn't have done it any better than this, And

814
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 3: that's not the way it works. It's just the way

815
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 3: the seeding is. But when you look at the stories

816
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 3: of this playoff picture, you, like I said, you you

817
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 3: couldn't write a better script, Like all right, let's uh,

818
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 3: all right, let's do this. Let's put San Francisco at one. Oh,

819
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 3: let's put Dallas at two. Let's put them where they

820
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 3: can maybe have a collision course Dallas San Francisco in

821
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 3: the championship game. That's great, All right, So who are

822
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: gonna play with Dallas. Let's go with the Green Bay. Yeah,

823
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 3: McCarthy used to coach there. They a lot of history,

824
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 3: a love of Dallas Green Bay where we got Lions,

825
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 3: Lions and Rams.

826
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

827
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 3: Stafford used to play for Detroit. Now he plays for

828
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 3: the Rams. They traded for golf golfs, which perfect. Let's

829
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 3: put them together. He goles and he goes and Bucks.

830
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't really have anything there, but you go to

831
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: the AFC. Cleveland used to you know, I know DeShawn

832
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 3: Watson's not playing, but I mean Houston's going. I mean

833
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: Cleveland's going to Houston. I mean Sean will be there.

834
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 3: That's that's the story in itself. I'll just leave it

835
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 3: at that. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins going to Kansas City.

836
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 3: Tyreek's you know, he's not shy about his his words

837
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,479
Speaker 3: in the media and some of the things he said.

838
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 3: So that all that's gonna be interesting. Kansas City goes

839
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 3: back and plays them. You know, they have other matchups

840
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 3: there and of course in in the AFC as well.

841
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 3: But I mean, just from from a story perspective, a

842
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 3: lot of good ones, a lot of good stuff and

843
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 3: and you know, it's just it's as cool to be

844
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 3: a part of it, you know what I mean, just

845
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 3: just that hey, we're we're still in this.

846
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: We're still gonna have to cover.

847
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, the Cowboys obviously have their own story,

848
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 3: even though McCarthy kind of dismissed it, you know. And

849
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 3: and there's not a whole lot of players anymore from

850
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: from the Packers that are with the Cowboys. I mean,

851
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that he coached at the Packers that are

852
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 3: still there. Uh and obviously the big one that Aaron

853
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 3: Rodgers not there. But uh still, I'm sure there'll be

854
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of talk about that. And uh,

855
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 3: you know, and not just McCarthy, but Dallas Green Bay

856
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I mean, what a storied tradition there is.

857
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 3: But still, I just wanted to point that out. How

858
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 3: these matchups, I mean, you you really couldn't write a

859
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 3: better script. And did I not say that Stafford going

860
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: back and Chris Worth. I think I said Stafford going

861
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 3: back to Detroit golf playing you know, his former team.

862
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: I mean that right there, Rams, Rams and Lions. I mean,

863
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: that's that's unbelievable. How they're going to match up in

864
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs. That's gonna be a good win. You know,

865
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: if Dallas wins the game, uh Sunday afternoon three thirty. Uh,

866
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 3: they win that game, then you know, the winner, the

867
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 3: winner of Detroit. I guess of if Detroit wins, well,

868
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 3: I guess you have to you have the Rams. If

869
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 3: the Rams win then then then I guess the Cowboys

870
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 3: would play the four or five winner on Monday night.

871
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 3: So still gotta take care of business. Got to one

872
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: one game at a time, all right. Next caller is

873
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 3: Irwin in Denver.

874
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: On good morning. How you doing own great, really good,

875
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: really good win yesterday. Yeah, just a couple of things

876
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: for you. I'm kind of glad that we relatively came

877
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: out injury three with the exception of Gilmour. I hope

878
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: he's doing okay. And the last thing I just want

879
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: to say and get your thoughts on it is I

880
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: just hope that McCarthy doesn't go into this playoff game

881
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: with any kind of pressure on it because he's going

882
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: up against his old team and how that thing just

883
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of ended, you know, And I just wanted to

884
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on that, and I'll let you go,

885
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: all right.

886
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: Thanks sirone appreciate that. U. He definitely held on the

887
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 3: phone on the line there longer than the call, and

888
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Sorry for making you wait, but yeah,

889
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: I do appreciate those those quick calls, quick points, Gilmore.

890
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is a football player for you.

891
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 3: You know, I'm fine, I'm good to go. My shoulder

892
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 3: popped out. We just popped it back in. I'm fine,

893
00:43:55,400 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 3: I mean cool. I mean that's you know, that's I

894
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 3: would imagine it's probably a little bit more than that.

895
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 3: I mean because when he said that, you're like, okay, great,

896
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: But then like I saw him, I guess walking to

897
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: the bus. I mean he's still had a sling. I mean,

898
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that it's not gonna be okay, but

899
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: it's just that he was wearing a sling just to

900
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 3: protect a little bit. I think he's going to be

901
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 3: okay to play. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't

902
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 3: practice like on Wednesday, but you know, we'll see what

903
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: what kind of range and and motion that that he

904
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: can have with that. He says he's fine, Butcarthy, you know,

905
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 3: also said that like not really worried about it, but

906
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: something something to monitor for sure, but that was one

907
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: of the reasons why I've been playing playing the Packers.

908
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I know they have receivers. I mean, they

909
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: have guys that can make some plays. But it wasn't

910
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 3: it Christian Watson just a couple of years ago that

911
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 3: had three touchdowns in one game, and it was blind

912
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 3: Bland that was giving up some of those. I think

913
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 3: as a rookie it was two years ago. Sorry, that

914
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 3: feels like forever ago when they played that game, uh

915
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 3: green Bay. But and then as for the McCarthy, that game,

916
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: that that game in Green Bay last season, that was one.

917
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of pressure on him to

918
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: go up there and win that game. Coming back, I

919
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 3: don't know if it's the same you know, when you're

920
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: when you're at home. Uh, he's gonna downplay it a lot.

921
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 3: You know, the media will, we'll we'll throw it out there.

922
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 3: But you know, I just think the way this team

923
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 3: is playing at home, they they know what they've got

924
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 3: to do. It doesn't matter who it is. They've got

925
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 3: to take care of business so that that crowded at

926
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 3: and T Stadium will be ready to go. There's gonna

927
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 3: be a white out. That that is what the Cowboys

928
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 3: have announced that that they're doing. You know, so if

929
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 3: you're going to the game, encouraged to wear white, but

930
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 3: you know it'll be it'll be a show. I mean,

931
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it. I'm excited for it. I mean,

932
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: I know we're we're kind of asterial here on Monday,

933
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 3: still talking a little bit about Washington, but all eyes

934
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 3: forward at this point too, for the for the Packers

935
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 3: game on Sunday at three thirty. All right, let's keep

936
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 3: going a couple more calls here before we can finish this.

937
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 3: We've got Josh in Chicago.

938
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, good morning.

939
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 2: How you doing, Josh? How you doing good?

940
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 11: Glad to have another win in another twelve and five season.

941
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, those don't get old twelve and five. You know,

942
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: let me point something out real quick, Josh, before you

943
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 3: get going. I've been here long enough where I saw

944
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: three five and elevens from Dave Campbell, five and eleven,

945
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 3: three years in a row. They kind of run together

946
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 3: when you have the same I saw three eight and

947
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 3: eights in a row with Jason Garrett. So these three

948
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: twelve and fives, I mean, let's let's let's not forget that.

949
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 3: Let's not forget that. This is the kind of consistency

950
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 3: that you want, not the five and eleven or eight

951
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: and eight. This this twelve and five, because this will

952
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 3: give you a chance to compete. You keep you keep

953
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 3: rolling out twelve and five, You're gonna be fine. Sorry,

954
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 3: go ahead.

955
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 11: No, I one hundred percent agree with you and your article.

956
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 11: I think said it best today is there's something about

957
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 11: this year though, still feels a little bit different last year.

958
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 5: You know, in the year before.

959
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 11: So yeah, I try to call in for a couple

960
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 11: of weeks and keep not getting able to get through.

961
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 11: So I'll just say my favorite football movie has got

962
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 11: to be Remember the Titan When the Replacements is on.

963
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 11: I just got to sit down and watch The Replacements.

964
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 11: It's such a good movie too.

965
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: And try that again. I've seen it once.

966
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

967
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 11: As for this team, you know, I think really nobody

968
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 11: can get in their way in the NFC, except for

969
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 11: the Dallas Cowboys themselves. I really do think the way

970
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 11: that I'm playing, even the forty nine ers, something's been

971
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 11: different since the bye week. Dak and ceed have been different.

972
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 11: If they stay out of their way with the penalties,

973
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 11: I really think that, no, they'll have a chance in

974
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 11: every single playoff game to play and then I'll got

975
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 11: a question for you. I'll take it off the airs.

976
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 11: I think some of this early run game something that

977
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 11: might help is having some designed runs for Dak, especially

978
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 11: have some of the early downs to just get them

979
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 11: to respect his legs and respect that element of his

980
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 11: game as well, and maybe put that out there for

981
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 11: the defense. Open some stuff up for Tony a little

982
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 11: bit more and Rico a little bit more.

983
00:47:58,800 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

984
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, uh, all right, thanks for thanks for

985
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,959
Speaker 2: the colleg Josh, good good stuff. Yeah.

986
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: I like that.

987
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 3: I like to design runs for Dak. I think that's

988
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 3: something that we don't see a whole lot. And I

989
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: think right now there's just a confidence level that Dak's

990
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 3: gonna step back and throw the ball and they're gonna

991
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 3: catch it, and they're gonna make the play and if

992
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 3: it's gonna be CD great, I mean, ferguson all of them.

993
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 3: And that mentality has helped this team win a lot

994
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 3: of games. That mentality almost got him in trouble in

995
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 3: Detroit and Seattle game because they were we got this

996
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 3: third down, should be running it to to you know,

997
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 3: take off forty seconds forty five seconds or so but nah,

998
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: let's just put the game away right now, because we

999
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 3: got this. Sometimes you don't. But but I mean, it's

1000
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 3: that mentality more often than not that I think has

1001
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: helped team. So you know, it's it's led the basketball

1002
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 3: player thinks he's gonna make every shot, you know, he

1003
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: but you know sometimes you know, sometimes you break a few,

1004
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 3: you know, and sometimes you miss some. But it's the

1005
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 3: mentality that I think has really helped this team. And uh,

1006
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 3: and know that they're having a lot more success than

1007
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 3: than the failures, which is evident by the record and

1008
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 3: evident by the records. I mean, you need to go

1009
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 3: down the line on all these kind of milestones. And

1010
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 3: it's been a fun year for that kind of stuff.

1011
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 3: All Right, I think about one word.

1012
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 2: Call her. Let's go David in Fort Worth, David, what's up?

1013

00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 2: Nick?

00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 12: Hey? Miss miss you?

1016
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: Man?

00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 12: Missing the little one, pretty busy. He's good, man, He's drowing,

1018
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 12: he's chunky.

1019
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 5: Man.

1020
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 12: I don't know how he's getting so I'm little man,

1021
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 12: I'm like five to six. He's like already like top percentile.

1022
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 12: But anyways, man, I know, I know the show's almost over.

1023
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 4: Man.

1024
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 12: I appreciate you guys, s feeze me in. I just

1025
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 12: wanted to share a little bit of excitement. Brother, Like

1026
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 12: I like to be a level headed van. I don't

1027
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 12: always think the year is our year, but man, I

1028
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 12: feel it this year, the way Dakla, the way McCarthy's

1029
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 12: got this team ready to go, fe feels very very good.

1030
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 12: I did want to touch on something that you were

1031
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 12: kind of touching on as far as storylines. I think

1032
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 12: that it's interesting. I called after I called before the

1033
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 12: Jets game, and I said, I don't care about playing Rogers.

1034
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

1035
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 12: I don't care about beating the best. It doesn't matter

1036
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 12: to me. And I still hold that sentiment right now.

1037
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 12: But I do think it's kind of interesting that if

1038
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 12: things fall in line, the Cowboys have the opportunity to

1039
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 12: exercise a lot of demons. They can exercise the Packers

1040
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 12: who have knocked them out of the playoffs a couple

1041
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 12: of times. They can exercise the Rams who ran all

1042
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 12: over us with twenty eighteen. Then they can go and

1043
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 12: they can knock out the juggernaut San Francisco forty nine

1044
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 12: ers who have been a thorn in their back. I

1045
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 12: really really hope that they do.

1046
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 5: It, brother, I miss you.

1047
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 9: I miss calling in.

1048
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 11: I'm gonna try to call them more.

1049
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 12: I appreciate you so much.

1050
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 3: Thanks, David, appreciate that good good call. And yeah, I

1051
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 3: mean I didn't think about the Rams perspective, you know,

1052
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 3: but either way, either way, like if you win that

1053
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 3: game and if you play, maybe play one of those teams.

1054
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you should play the Rams. Don't think

1055
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 2: you can? Can you play the Rams?

1056
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 3: I don't think you can play the Rams because I

1057
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 3: mean you play them in the championship game, because I

1058
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 3: mean the seventh seed is the Packers, and so if

1059
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 3: the Rams win, they would play San Francisco, so they

1060
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: I mean the Rams would be the sixth seed and

1061
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 3: that's the lowest seed. So I don't think you can

1062
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 3: play the Rams in the divisional where I could be

1063
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 3: wrong with that, but yeah, right, okay, and so and

1064
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: so if the if the Rams win and and the

1065
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 3: Cowboys Colways beat the forty nine Rams win, then then

1066
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 3: you'd play the four or five. You'd play the Bucks

1067
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 3: or the Eagles at home. So hey, bring it, I mean, whoever,

1068
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 3: I mean at this point, bring it. The way this

1069
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 3: team is playing, the way and the way we know

1070
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 3: they can play Yeah, they've lost some games. Buffalo that

1071
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 3: was that was a stinker. And ever, you know, think

1072
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 3: about this, every team the Cowboys have had that have

1073
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl, they've had a game like that.

1074
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 3: Even in the super Bowl years, they've had a game

1075
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: late in the year where you're likenh this team that's over,
