Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: here Monday, January the eighth, twenty twenty four, and the

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys are your NFC East champions, number two seed

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. This is the this is the goal

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 2: in mind all year long, is to get the NFC

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: East title, of course, and uh and you want to

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: be the number one seed and get the bye, but

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: that didn't happen. But best thing you get, number best

13
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: thing after that is to get number two and you know,

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: be at home for two weeks. Definitely going to be

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: home for two weeks now. And it doesn't mean you're

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: gonna get two games, but you're gonna be home for sure.

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: And Cowboys packers. See it here on the screen here

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Sunday at three thirty at at and T Stadium. Everything

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: just kind of went the way it was supposed to

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: go yesterday. I mean, I don't know, I don't know

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: what what you guys were rooting for as far as

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: the opponent matchup and all that. I mean had to

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: start with the Cowboys with the win. Eagles loss was

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: fine too, even though it really didn't matter after the

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: Cowboys win, But I think watching them lose, I mean,

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: everybody gets excited about that. And then then after that,

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: you know, it just comes down to a preference and

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: they're all going to be good. I mean, everybody is

29
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: going to give the Cowboys, you know, I would think

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: a tough game. I think if you play you know,

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: they played Green Bay, but if you had to play

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: the Rams, you had to play Seattle, even the Saints.

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: I mean, everyone presents a different challenge. But when Gilmour

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: was walking off the field, when they're holding his arm

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, playing the Rams without Gilmour and

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: you're already lost digs, that didn't seem like a great,

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: you know, great plan. So when the Rams won and

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: you ended up being with the Packers, I think that's

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: the better matchup. Obviously, Green Bay is gonna be tough

40
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: in their own way, but I think it just all

41
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: kind of worked out. So all right, thirty eight to

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: ten Cowboys, we'll talk about that, we'll talk about what

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: it means moving forward. We'll talk anything you want. Eight

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. You

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: can text a eight one seven two nine zero three

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: two nine eight. Let's get us started off before before

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: we do, hold on, before we do, I want to

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: mention one thing real quick before we kind of get

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: going here. On if you watch the last Friday show

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: and you saw we did the ticket giveaway with Shelby

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: and Virginia since was able to provide two tickets, we

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: had the trivia question. It was a pretty tough question.

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: I thought Mark and Philadelph if you answered it, he

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: was able to go to the game. We were there.

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: We got to see both of them. They sat together,

56
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: We took a photo with them. Chris Bean was there

57
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: with me and so we were able to get a

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: nice photo on there on the field, and they had

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: a great game and a great seat to me, really

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: awesome seats there right by the Cowboys tunnel, and it

61
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: was it was awesome. A lot of touchdowns happened right

62
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: in front of them, so good good times for the

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: for them, and it was awesome for for Cowboys storyline

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: to be able to kind of help with that. So

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: that was really one of the most enjoyable moments we've

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: had on the show. So far and I'm glad it

67
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: kind of all worked out. So really cool stuff, all right,

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Michael and Colton, California is our first caller, Michael, what's up?

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

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

71
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: All right.

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

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: them Cowboys, Nick And also I just think, you know,

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: you know, I have pauled and you know and and

75
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: said them from I had my doubts whatever, but I'm

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 4: gonna be the first to say, you know, Dak Prescott

77
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: went out went out there and balled out. And I

78
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: heard I heard another show last night the people saying, oh,

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: it wasn't a quality opponent. At the end of the day,

80
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: they're all professionals there any given Sunday, anybody could beat anybody.

81
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: So I'm not trying to hear that. I just want

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: to say, you know, I'm rooting for the Cowboys, and

83
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: I just think it's it's it's pretty awesome to see

84
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: the complete turn of events. You know, we went from

85
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: those two losses in Buffalo and Miami and man, I'm

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: not gonna lie. Man, I was a nace there.

87
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 5: You know.

88
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: I love my Cowboys, and I'm rocking with them all day.

89
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: I don't care good or not. I'm still rocking with them,

90
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: you know. But it's just been cool to see the

91
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: complete turnaround. And I would say, right now, we have

92
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: the balls in our court. It couldn't have played out

93
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: any other way, you know what I'm saying, any other

94
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: better way, excuse me, and the balls in our court,

95
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: and I would like to see the Cowboys capitalize on that.

96
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: And Dak Prescott, Man, I'm rooting for you, man, And

97
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 4: I know my opinion probably don't mean nothing, you know,

98
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: but I'm rooting for him and and I'm just I'm

99
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: loving it right now.

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Man.

101
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 4: I'm high on the Cowboys right now.

102
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 6: Man.

103
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: Straight up, Let's go Cowboys, And thank you, thanks for

104
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: having you have a great.

105
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: Thanks man, appreciate it. Good starting way to way to

106
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: get it rolling. Loving on Dak Prescott right now. He's

107
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: had a it was a heck of a turnaround this year.

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: I mean it really was. I mean he he led

109
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: the league in interceptions last season and now he led

110
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: the league in touchdowns.

111
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 6: Uh.

112
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: That's that's the that's the stat you want to be

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: first in. He's second in. I think quarterback rating and

114
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: and with a one oh five nine one five three

115
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: some something like that. That's how he finished, which is

116
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: the second highest in in Cowboy's history as well, behind

117
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: one year that Romo had, but second highest and career

118
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: high for for for Dak. So, I mean, just an

119
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: unbelievable turnaround. Uh, give a lot of credit to Dak.

120
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: He doesn't listen to you guys. He doesn't listen to us.

121
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't listen to the naysayers. He doesn't listen to

122
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: the people, you know, to to some of the positive stuff.

123
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: He really doesn't. He kind of he understands that, you know,

124
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: what's in front of him and has a belief on

125
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: how to get there. And you know, you got to

126
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: give him and Mike McCarthy and this whole coaching staff,

127
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: you know that they were able to kind of turn

128
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: things around for him in a major way. It's really

129
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: been awesome, all right, Anthony and Seattle's our next caller.

130
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how you doing this? Goodd How you doing

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 6: I'm doing well? Man? Hey man. Again, just like all

132
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 6: Cowboys fans, just really happy that we didn't go in

133
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: there and play with our food. We went in there,

134
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 6: took care of business, got things done, and now we

135
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 6: can get ready for when real football gets ready to hit,

136
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 6: which is the playoffs. What's interesting about this is I

137
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 6: was starting to see a lot of narratives that have

138
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 6: come through, and I wanted to get your thoughts on it. So,

139
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy, when he first took over in twenty twenty,

140
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 6: you know, a busmal season, right, not the start that

141
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: we wanted, you know, and obviously not for a lot

142
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 6: of teams. You know, COVID was a big issue at

143
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 6: that time. But over the next three seasons, twelve wins, right,

144
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 6: twelve wins each season. Just a few weeks ago, they

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 6: were talking about the possibility of a Mike McCarthy extension.

146
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 6: They also mentioned the same thing with Dak Prescott. And now,

147
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, I'm starting to see a lot

148
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 6: of narratives that's coming through that's saying that Mike McCarthy

149
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 6: is on the hot seat, And I'm kind of confused.

150
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 6: Are you hearing that too? Can you?

151
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: I mean everyone say that.

152
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 6: Like yeah, like, but but I don't understand that, like

153
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 6: if I mean, we've been through the Jason Garrett administration

154
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 6: where we went through numbers of eight and eight seasons, man,

155
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 6: And when we got a coach that can consistently win

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 6: twelve wins for the past three years, that's that's not easy.

157
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: Man.

158
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 6: If it was easy, every coach would be doing it.

159
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 6: So how about how.

160
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: About any coach would do it? Right in Cowboy's history.

161
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: Nobody in the history of the Cowboys, not not Landry,

162
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: not Jimmy, not Switz or not Parcel, nobody has done that.

163
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 6: So so yeah, so to that so to that point,

164
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 6: they asked Jerry about it, right, and you know, I

165
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 6: know Jerry has to give, you know, a and it

166
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 6: almost felt like it was a motivating answer, right. It

167
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 6: was like it was like, if if you know, what

168
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 6: do you think of Mike Mcca. I can't remember the

169
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 6: exact question I'm paraphrasing, but in that sense, he just said,

170
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 6: we just got to see how the playoff games go.

171
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 6: And I'm like, Okay, I get that, but is this

172
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 6: not the coach you want coaching your team moving forward? Yeah?

173
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 6: I don't know.

174
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: He also says it's his Mike's numbers speak for themselves,

175
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: you know, he did. He did say that, you know,

176
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't really want to want to answer a lot

177
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: of the questions like that right right now, you know,

178
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: because everyone's going to have a different mindset when it ends,

179
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: Harvard ends whatever. But I mean, I don't think you

180
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: can ignore what he's done and so far, you know,

181
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: twelve wins and three and you know, back to back

182
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: to back seasons is unheard of here and it and

183
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: it speaks to the level of consistency that Jerry is

184
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: looking for. This is the higher Jerry made because he

185
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: wanted them to be at that level and they are.

186
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: And so there's one thing right now that he hasn't

187
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: been able to do, and that's be better than San Francisco.

188
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: You know, that's it. You're not better than San Francisco

189
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: and that and that that has been the issue. But

190
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: I don't think you fire a coach because he's not

191
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 2: better than one team. I think you go and you

192
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: try to get better than that team. And so that's

193
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: what I think.

194
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate that, Nick, And you know, if everything

195
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 6: plays out, we'll find out who's a better team against

196
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 6: San Francisco when we meet a NFC championship game.

197
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: Right that's right?

198
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 6: All right?

199
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Anthony, good stuff. Yeah, I mean I

200
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: think that that needs to be I'm glad that Anthony

201
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: was was a caller there, and and everyone's going to

202
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: have their different opinions about about McCarthy or or whatever.

203
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: I just think from a consistency standpoint, says what you're

204
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: asking for. You you want a team to be a

205
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: consistent winner like that, and you know, let's not I

206
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: don't care, you know what what Washington's record is. I

207
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: mean we we kind of thought, you know, it was

208
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: going to be a tough game. And I think I

209
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: said it here. Was it last week or two weeks ago,

210
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: don't I think it was last week when I was like,

211
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: if you see a team start off a game and

212
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: they start running reverses and pitches and throwbacks and tied

213
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: end you know, takes the quarterbacks nap and all that stuff,

214
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: they're gonna get their ass kicked. They are, and and

215
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: they and they did. I mean, you're going four on

216
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: fourth down and all that. You just know when the

217
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: game when the when you play four quarters of that

218
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: and it's not going to hold up. It's not. And

219
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: you know it. That's why that that you you're installing

220
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: all that. And and the Cowboys they had that little

221
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: bit of a lull there in the second quarter or

222
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: late first quarter, second quarter. They dominated that game, absolute domination.

223
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: Washington basically had two plays. They basically had a block

224
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: field goal that returned and got them in a great

225
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: field position, and then they had a tipped interception. And

226
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: the funny thing is is everything the Cowboys gave them

227
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: they took back. They had a tipped interception and turned

228
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: it into a touchdown. They had a blocked punt, turned

229
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: that into a touchdown, and then a lot of other

230
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: plays along the way. I thought the Cowboys were really

231
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: strong yesterday. I thought that was a really good game.

232
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: I don't care what it is. A division win on

233
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: the road with a chance to win, hats and t

234
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 2: shirts on the line, and they went in there and

235
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: they took care of business. And I think the Cowboy

236
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: fans should be excited about the way they played in

237
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: that game, regardless of what Washington's record is. All right,

238
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: lets let me get a couple of tech questions here.

239
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: This is Steven Virginia. He said, Nick, how much are

240
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: you concerned about Aubrey's game yesterday? Playing with his head

241
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: going forward?

242
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 6: Now?

243
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 2: He missed a field goal that hit the upright, that's it,

244
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's his only miss of the season. He

245
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: kicked the ball, hit the upright in Washington. I mean,

246
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: if you go if you were down there, and most

247
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: people weren't, but some people were in this in the stadium.

248
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: Uh that conditions, that wind. You kind of figured it

249
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: was going to be something like that. So for him

250
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: to miss that kick and that's it, that's the only

251
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: miss that. Don't don't throw any other play out there. Okay,

252
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: if you're not gonna block anyone, then yeah, you're you're

253
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: gonna miss a miss a lot of other kicks because

254
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna get blocked. So if you're not gonna block,

255
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: then yeah. But I'm talking about kicking the ball, striking

256
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: it and getting it through the uprights. He hit the

257
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: upright and he missed it. He comes back and hits

258
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: a fifty yarder. I mean, are you concerned? I mean

259
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm not. I mean, hit the fifty arder. Shit should help,

260
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: It should help. Fantastic season. Arguably, you could make the

261
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: case this is this is one of the best seasons

262
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: by any kicker in the history of the NFL, not

263
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: just rookies, No, in the NFL. When when for a

264
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: place kicker to do what he did last year or

265
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: this year, it's that's phenomenal. So now I'm not really

266
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: concerned at all. Another text question that this is from

267
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: Mike in Orlando, say, is it fair to say the

268
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: organization has moved on from Gallup? There was a couple

269
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: of plays where Dak had him open but went somewhere

270
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: else with the ball as random Cowboys Kendall Watkins blocking

271
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: tight end, don't don't have a lot of stories on him,

272
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: just Big eighty three. I believe Michael Gallup. I don't know.

273
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: Have him moved on? It's not safe to say. I know.

274
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: I mean I don't. I don't think they've moved on

275
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: at all. And in fact, I mean, if you just

276
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: look at his contract, I don't know why you wouldn't

277
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: why he wouldn't be on the team next year. It's

278
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: going to cost the exact same thing to keep him

279
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: then to then to cut him. So I don't I

280
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: don't see that happening, honestly. I mean, we'll see what

281
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: happens in the off season. Maybe there's a trade or something.

282
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, But now and then and that that

283
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: through through to him a couple I mean the interception,

284
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: the interception that he that he threw that got tipped

285
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: up in the air, was actually thrown to him. So

286
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: but but no, he's not. I mean, he's made some

287
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: some play. Again we've gone I'm not doing this, Michael

288
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: Gallup like carousel again. It happens all the time, goes

289
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: in some lulls, everyone calls in here, what's wrong with them?

290
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: All that? And then next thing you know, he's he

291
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: makes a catch, makes a play, creates, you know, forces

292
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: a pass interference penalty. He's he's like your he's like

293
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: your fourth receiving option. That's what he is. When I

294
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: don't know why we're really talking about it, honestly, it's

295
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: just it's just not the time to really talk about that.

296
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: And if it comes down to money, that's not the

297
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: Cowboy's problem right now. They're not worried about. Get to

298
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: the off season. They see they'll they'll make some decisions

299
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: on what they want to do with that. All right,

300
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: Our next caller is Joe in Western New York. Okay,

301
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: here we go first time. All Right, what's up, man,

302
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: how are you doing?

303
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: I'm doing well, cowboy fan up here in Buffalo Land.

304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what did you think about the game?

305
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: Well, I like the games. There's a couple of things

306
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: I've got concerns on, and that's on a special teams. Okay,

307
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: haven't we how many times have we had a fake

308
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: punt where they got the first down?

309
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: Is it twice this year?

310
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

311
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: And then yeah, so the special team on the punt

312
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: and then the special letting that guy get through to

313
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: block that kick. It's uncalled for. I mean, yeah, my

314
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: concern is I'm hoping they look at the special teams

315
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: and get that done. The other thing, do we have

316
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: a stats on third down conversions on four yards or less?

317
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure there is, Yes, there is a stat on that.

318
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: I mean, they have stats for everything, honestly, but I'm

319
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: sorry I don't have that one in front of me.

320
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 6: Like, my question is why.

321
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: On some of them they always bunch up and just

322
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: try and push it through the middle. Why don't we

323
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: do any RPOs?

324
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have a good answer for you. I

325
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: I think I don't like the fact that they they

326
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: do that a lot. They do kind of bunch up,

327
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: and I don't love that because the guys that you're

328
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: bunching together don't to me, aren't as strong as the

329
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: guys on the other side. I would rather, I would

330
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: rather create space and try to get away from him,

331
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: because I mean I saw it in a game against

332
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: Detroit last week. They put Tolbert, they slide Tolbert down

333
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: into the line of scrimmage. He just he just kind

334
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: of muddies it up a little bit. And he's not

335
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: big enough to like make a difference. It's not like

336
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: you're bringing in, you know, like a really strong, powerful

337
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: blocker in there. So I don't know. I've never understood

338
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: the bunch formation when when you aren't when you don't

339
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: have it's like playing big boy football when you're not

340
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: the biggest boy. So that that's that, You're right, I

341
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: don't understand that part either. But I'm not really with

342
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: the special teams though. I mean, they gave up some plays.

343
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: They've made more plays than they've given up by far,

344
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: but I mean.

345
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: To I mean, two fake punts and not even have

346
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: anybody cover the guys.

347
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: Well, that, yeah, that's a problem because they want to

348
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: play Tolbert, and if you go back and watch Tilbert,

349
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: it's been the guy. I think, I think on both

350
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: of those, so that one that they need to fix

351
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: that unless they're gonna move Tolbert to cornerback, which they're not,

352
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: so I don't understand why they're making him play corner.

353
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: He's not a corner and so on that play when

354
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: they fake it, he becomes a defensive player and that's

355
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: not that's not what he is. So they they need

356
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: to they need to get they need to change that

357
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: because I think teams are going to keep seeing that.

358
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm ready.

359
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, all right, Joe, thanks for the call,

Speaker 7: Joseph, Hey, good, good morning, Nick.

Speaker 7: Loving that victory and loving that victory out there. I

368
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 7: feel like that was just a complete team win. Yeah,

369
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 7: it's excited the fact that they, you know, as another

370
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 7: caller said earlier, didn't play with their food out there

371
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 7: and took care of business. It was a big, big

372
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 7: land also first time callers, all right, had to make

373
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 7: sure to call in today. I was just too excited

374
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 7: to hold it back. And I'm really excited to see

375
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 7: where this team goes. I think we are one of

376
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 7: the most complete teams that I think we've seen under

377
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy's under Mike McCarthy's rain here, and I would

378
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 7: like to just see where this takes us.

379
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 4: Now.

380
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 7: It's it's exciting.

381
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely exciting for sure. I mean, I don't

382
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: know what else what else to say. I mean, like

383
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: this is one of those things that it's been kind

384
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: of called it no man's land for a while where

385
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, everyone wants to just see what happens in

386
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: the playoffs, but you can't get there. I mean, we've

387
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: been doing this all year, what happened in the playoffs?

388
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: What happens in the playoffs? Well, now we get to

389
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: find out, we get to finally find out, you know,

390
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: that this thing really matters. But yeah, they had to

391
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: get there, and the Cowboys had to be focused in

392
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: every game, including this last one.

393
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 7: Then they were, Yes, McCarthy had them dialed in. I

394
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 7: felt like they were just completely ready for this game.

395
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 7: It seemed like, you know, even with some of the

396
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 7: things that happened early on in the first half, it

397
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 7: just felt like, you know, it just never felt like

398
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 7: you were completely out of the game, even with some

399
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 7: of the struggles, you know, with that tip pick for

400
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 7: Dak and some of the things that just happened early

401
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 7: on that just kind of really kind of was trying

402
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 7: to take the wind out of yourselves and make you

403
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 7: really stress a little. But they overcame a lot of

404
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 7: those issues and just really pushed hard to really prove

405
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 7: that they're one of those teams that needs to be there.

406
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, deserves to be talked about. Loved it.

407
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 7: I just loved every minute of it. Thought it was

408
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 7: a great game, and loved how the end the season

409
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 7: exactly knowing especially knowing that Washington was gonna come out

410
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 7: there and try to punch us right in the chief.

411
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they they they tried. You know, they just

412
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: didn't have they just didn't have enough firepower. And it

413
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: was you know, it took a little bit to get there.

414
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: I mean Washington did the same thing as San Francisco

415
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: a week before.

416
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 6: Sure, you know exact and San.

417
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: Francisco, but by the fourth quarters, you know, third fourth quarter,

418
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 2: you just keep leaning on someone and and and you

419
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 2: finally you're gonna you're gonna win. And that's that's what

420
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: happened in this one as well.

421
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, sir, all right, Well, pretty excited.

422
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 6: Nick Day, Thank you, all right?

423
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 2: You too. That's first time caller Chris. We got a

424
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 2: Here we go, Joe, So all right, let's go get

425
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: another text question here, we're gonna we're working the text

426
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: line today. This is from Jay hen in Wichita, Kansas.

427
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Dak winning MVP. I think

428
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 2: it should be noted and he set out maybe four

429
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: or five fourth quarters this season, tied for the second

430
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: best record in the league. He could have easily padded staff.

431
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: You're right about that. It's that tied for the second

432
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: best record in the league. It's not really about the stats.

433
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: I think it was that second best record and who

434
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: has the first who has the best record, and I

435
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: believe it was Baltimore and Lamar Jackson, and so I

436
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: mean that's that's what I think. Dak will probably finish second,

437
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 2: and the voting that's what I would imagine. But Lamar

438
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: has you know, I think he's deserved it too. So then,

439
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: and they're really good, and they're good on a lot

440
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 2: of ways. I mean, they're good on defense too. But

441
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: he's he's so tough man. He is, he is tough

442
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: to deal with, and so I don't think that should

443
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: be I mean, I don't think anyone should be disappointed, really,

444
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: and he's had a great, great season, but I think

445
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's had He's had just as good of a season,

446
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: if not better, and then his team is better and

447
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: his team has had a better record. So that's usually

448
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 2: what it comes down to, and I'm fine with that.

449
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: You know, Offensive Player of the Year, I don't think

450
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: that would be him. I think, I mean, Tyreek Hill

451
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: was up there, but I mean CD's numbers too, are

452
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: off the chart. I mean that's one hundred and I

453
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 2: think he's got one hundred and thirty three catches, sixth

454
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: most in the history of the league. One hundred and

455
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: thirty three catches. I mean, remember we were talking about

456
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: him breaking Michael Irvan's record for one twelve. That was

457
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: last game he broke it. Nine finishes with one thirty three.

458
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: That's that's amazing. I'm the only person that's not probably

459
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: loving that is Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones and having

460
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 2: to do that contract, you know, because that's why that's

461
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 2: why you get the deals done, you know, And that's

462
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: why that's one reason why you get them done, because

463
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: if you don't, now, I mean, you don't think that

464
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,360

471
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 8: The first three draft picks, you know, before it started,

472
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 8: and uh, pretty good job there.

473
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: Twenty eleven, you know. I mean it's been a while,

474
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: but uh, yeah it was that. How long ago was that?

475
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: It was Tyron Smith's for a year? That's how long.

476
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, you've been you've been around, You've been following.

477

00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: Big shout out to d law. I don't think that guy.

481
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't the old Pro Bowl snub again, but yeah,

482
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: uh you know a few.

483
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 8: Years ago he was holding out for the money and

484
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 8: stuff like that. Us as Cowboys fans, we think, hey,

485
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 8: you should just want to play. You should play for free.

486
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 8: You know, you should play for minimum wage.

487
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: The guy's worth every penny they pay him. I mean,

488
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: he just shows up every week and does the dirty stuff,

489
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: and you know, gets the tackles for a loss.

490
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 6: He gets the last.

491
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 8: Night, you know, bad at his arm and yeah, causes

492
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 8: an interception and.

493
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: I sure didn't.

494
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: He just shout out to Tank man, he's a stud.

495
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 2: Good, good, You're right. I'm glad you said that. I mean,

496
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: he really does. And us he's not the main pass

497
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: rusher anymore, obviously, and Micah has that, and he does,

498
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: like you said, the dirty work, but he seems to

499
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: make those big plays, especially on against the run. You

500
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 2: know how many times he's been knifing through there on

501
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: third and one, fourth and one and and make these

502
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: plays exactly. Yeah, he's he's.

503
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: A stud against the run and they can run away

504
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: from him and he tracks it down from the back

505
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: side and just yeah. And then I just got to

506
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: say another event in Frisco, Texas yesterday, shout out to

507

00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 5: glimpse of snow.

524
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: Not all right?

525
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 5: So he seemed like a home game last night too,

526
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 5: That's right.

527
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah it did. There was a lot of a lot

528
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: of Cowboy fans there and they were allowed. They were

529
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: allowed that. They definitely showed half for sure.

530
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 5: Well, my my first Cowboys game, nick was was up

531
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 5: in Dallas versus Green Bay. I believe it was Matt

532
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 5: Flynn came down and played that Lacey's the rookie year,

533
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 5: I believe, right.

534
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a nice big comeback. I went.

535
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 5: I went with some family members from Texas, big Green

536
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 5: Bay fans. You know, first half that Ryan caught that

537
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 5: toe tip at the back of the ane zone, you know,

538
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 5: throwing the X up make you know, three to three.

539
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 5: It couldn't get any better than that. Then the second

540
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: half came Eddie Lacy came. You know that, you know,

541
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: everything was looking good, Everything is looking good. Let me

542
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 5: let me put it that way. Green Bay is the

543
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 5: only one I believe that besides all the other teams

544
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 5: travel really good.

545
00:26:59,720 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 10: Man.

546
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 5: That's one thing we're gonna have to try to keep

547
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 5: up with them.

548
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna have They're gonna have a lot of

549
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: fans there, There's no doubt about it. And and you know,

550
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: and their fans stand out like literally, I mean, i mean,

551
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: who else is wearing a cheesehead? So yeah, I mean

552
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: they stand out and they're allowed and they're you know,

553
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: but I mean they're not the only team that that's

554
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: ever had a lot of fans in here. And and

555
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, you just gotta get overcome it.

556
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to be better than the Packers.

557
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: I mean that's it. You gotta be better than them

558
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: on the field. So and I think that they will be.

559
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: But but yeah, I mean it's not like it's just

560
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: going to be you know, quiet for for when when

561
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: Dallas has the ball.

562
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 5: Yeah. Another thing was I mean second seed. You think

563
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 5: we were second seeds better than the fifth seed. But

564
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 5: the way everything laid out, you think we're we're in

565
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 5: the spot we want to be.

566
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I definitely think that in the spot that that

567
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: they want to be. This is this is as good

568
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: as it could be right now. Thanks Thanks for the call, Joe.

569
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: That might have been first caller there for Joe. I

570
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: don't know first time, but you know I I after

571
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: losing to the forty nine ers the way they did

572
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: here we go, here we go, that was for you, Joe.

573
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: If you know they lost to the Niners, are obviously

574
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: earlier in the season, and this is gonna be you

575
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: we knew right there it was gonna be hard to

576
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: pass them. So yeah, I mean you would like, I

577
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: like to have a first round by and just automatically

578
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: go into the divisional round. And yeah, that that's where

579
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: you would like to be. But uh if if if

580
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: it's not that, then it's this, you know, and you're

581
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: playing in nine and eight football team that that's playing better,

582
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: you know, I think, I mean they're playing better to

583
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs. But you know, they lost to

584
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: the Giants like three weeks ago. They beat the Panthers

585
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: by a field goal, so they're not world beaters, but

586
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: they are in the playoffs and they are you know,

587
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: and they they'll they beat the Chiefs on the road.

588
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: I mean, they beat the Vikings, so they probably will

589
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: have some confidence I'm sure going into this game. But

590
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: I mean again, I think when you look at their

591
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: body of work that they haven't been as good and

592
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 2: that's why you're a seven seed and so and that's

593
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: why they're an underdog. Pretty big underdog actually. So all right,

594
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: let's get get moving here, Rob in Vegas, here we go, Nick, Okay, Rob,

595
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: let's go.

596
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 10: They accomplished the mission we go. They went in there,

597
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 10: took care of business. Number two seed, you got to

598
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 10: come through at and t you know, I read your article.

599
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 10: What's different about this team? I mean, best quarterback in

600
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 10: the NFC, I mean, best wide receiver in the NFC,

601
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 10: maybe in the league right now, best defensive player, best kicker,

602
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 10: and home field advantage in the league. I mean what

603
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 10: else is there? They are, They are primed, they're healthy,

604
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 10: knock Wood. I mean, let's go.

605
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: This is it.

606
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 10: Let's go. We kept saying twelve and five is great,

607
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 10: twelve and five is great. Twelve and five is great,

608
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 10: But you got to keep building. You got to keep

609
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 10: taking the next step and no more excuses. You get

610
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 10: a I dig a favorable matchup. I'm glad that the

611
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 10: Rams pulled it out. Not that I didn't think we

612
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 10: could beat them, but let them go. Let them in

613
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 10: Detroit go beat each other up. And I think I

614
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 10: think it's a favorable matchup. We usually do very good

615
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 10: against teams like Green Bay on the cusp, you know,

616
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 10: kind of like Tampa Bay last year in the playoffs.

617
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 10: And I just think we're just ready to rock and roll.

618
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 10: Fans should be should be happy, fans should be going

619
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 10: crazy at at and tea. Yeah, the Packer fans will travel,

620
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 10: but only if the Cowboy fans get up their tickets,

621
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 10: which hopefully they don't. But I just think, listen, it

622
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 10: was great. It was a great. It was shaky to

623
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 10: begin not shaky, but I'm sure a lot of fans,

624
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 10: like people say, were like here we go. Yeah, yeah,

625
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 10: the tip the ball, the butt block kick they were.

626
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 10: I mean, you had to play defense for four downs,

627
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 10: which is hard because they were going forward on any

628
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 10: play right then then all of a sudden, it was

629
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 10: I said, you score right before half, you score right

630
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 10: after half, and game over. I thought they kept I know,

631
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 10: I think I think I criticized McCarthy. I thought he

632
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 10: kept the starters in a little too long. I was yet, like,

633
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 10: what are we doing? This game is out of reach?

634
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 10: But it worked out and I'm excited that. I mean,

635
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 10: can't wait. Rob.

636
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 2: If you're excited, we're excited. That's awesome.

637
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: So I got to give a shout out.

638
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 10: That's right, and I got to give a shout out.

639
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 10: I criticized them the modecawk. He showed up.

640
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 2: He did, he played, he played better. He sure did yesterday.

641
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: You're right about that.

642
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, he showed up. Like I said, he was in

643
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 10: witness protection. Like Donovan Wilson. Donovan Wilson made another great

644
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 10: play all in that.

645
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 9: Hey.

646
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, if they're listening to the show and they're hearing it,

647
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 10: keep listening. And the young guys on the offensive line

648
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 10: I don't played great.

649
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna mention them. Yeah, you're right, thanks

650
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: for the call, Rob, as always, Uh Rob excited. I mean, Rob, hey,

651
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: this thing, this thing's been a roller coaster all year

652
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: long as well, and and he calls it like it is.

653
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: But you you have to be excited about where this

654
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: team is and how they finished and how they took

655
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: care of business in that game. And that's kind of

656
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: what I wrote in my article about this is why, yeah,

657
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: people keep out. Does it feel different? Does this one

658
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: feel different? And it does and yesterday was an example

659
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: of that. There's been times where injuries have really hurt

660
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: this team, especially on one position, and we get both

661
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: guards out. Zach Martin's out right before the kickoff. It's

662
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: like he's out of the game because he's sick. Tyler

663
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: Smith out and these guys were practicing this week, so

664
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: you thought, you know that they were going to play,

665
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: so you have to put TJ. Bass and brock Hoffman

666
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: in there. And they didn't change anything. They ran the

667
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: ball right there. And in fact, I mean Pollard there

668
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: was several times Pollard seven eight nine yards. So and

669
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: I'm happy for Tony Pollard to get in a thousand yards. Uh.

670
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: If people think, well that doesn't matter, well do it,

671
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: then do it two years in a row. Because he's

672
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: only six score six running backs. I have ever done

673
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: it in Cowboys history and and he's one of them.

674
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: So that's that was that was impressive. And you know,

675
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: he did it all year long. I mean he's not

676
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: the biggest guy, uh, but but he was healthy, ran

677
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: the ball as hard as he can. I mean, I

678
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: have a lot of respect for Tony Pollard, I really do.

679
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: I I don't. I don't think he is a you know,

680
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: lead premiere back. He probably needs to be a number two,

681
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: a real shifty number two back. And that was his role,

682
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: that's what you know. But I think that that he did,

683
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: he did an an admirable job this season and obviously

684
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: not not done. But yeah, I'm glad Rob said that

685
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: about the guards and that the both guards really did

686
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: a good job there. And be honest, you, I mean

687
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: all three of them right there in the center. I thought,

688
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 2: moved people around. It was it was really good. All right,

689
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: let's go with god question here text question from Dan

690
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: and Philly. So what are your thoughts on the guards

691
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: Hoffman and Bath? Yes, I agree they played well. I

692
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: just mentioned that Aubrey not a concern at all. I

693
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 2: agree with that. How about Troy Hambrick as my random cowboy,

694
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: it's Dan and Philly boy. Troy Hambrick, that was he was,

695
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: he was something. It's funny you say that after Washington.

696
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: I remember, I remember it came in Washington. I guess

697
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: it would be twenty years ago, two thousand and three.

698
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: He had about one hundred and seventy five yards in

699
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: that game, and he ran the ball really well. They

700
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 2: dominated Washington that day and that I just remember him.

701
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 2: I just him in the postgame Presco. He was funny.

702
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 2: He was funny. I'll just leave it at that. But yeah,

703
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: Eric Bickerstaff also scored a touchdown in that game. Just

704
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: did a little little throwback there. They beat the beat

705
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 2: Washington twenty seven to nothing. I think we woke up

706
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: and it was snowing all over the field and snowing there.

707
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: Terrence Newman had three picks. It's been twenty years. I

708
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 2: can't believe that. But yeah, good, good one for Troy Hambrick.

709
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: But I agree on the Aubrey is not a that's

710
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: not concerned. He comes back, hits the kick. He's he's

711
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 2: been fine, big body of work there, so I think

712
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: he'll be fine moving into the playoffs. All right, Travis

713
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: in San Antonio's next, Let's go, Nick, Let's go.

714
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 9: Travis just wanted to. I was hoping to get out

715
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 9: before because not that I want to, because I just

716
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 9: wanted to. Like this is why we said three weeks

717
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 9: ago even I even said, like in the second half

718
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 9: of the game, like the seeding could change just by

719
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 9: all the results. So you know, when we were saying

720
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 9: like it changes fast in the NFL, like like three

721
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 9: weeks ago, everyone was like, Oh, it's gonna be road

722
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 9: road road, and now it's I mean, it's it's right

723
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 9: there for you. So you never, like I think talking

724
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 9: about it. I think hopefully everyone's learned a lesson, like

725
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 9: talking about three weeks ago. Let's let's just see tell

726
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 9: me who's available. Who were like you say all the time,

727
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 9: tell me who's available. Who are we playing? And then

728
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 9: let's figure it out. But like even that second half

729
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 9: of the of the games last yesterday, like things could change,

730
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 9: so you just don't know. It's all you know, playoffs matchups. Yeah,

731
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 9: so I think it's favorable. You gotta, like you said before,

732
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 9: but you can't watch that game and not give brock Hoffman,

733
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 9: who I was anticipating playing, and then uh TJ. Bass

734
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 9: you know, their love because they they did a great

735
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 9: job not saying we don't want Tyler Swift and Zach

736
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 9: Martin back. But I mean, I think that gives you

737
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 9: a little bit of it gives you a little more calm,

738
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 9: right with with them being backups that they can get

739
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 9: the job done. I think I don't know about you,

740
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 9: but I think that corner route that Cooks runs, I

741
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 9: said like three weeks ago on Twitter is like his

742
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 9: best route by far, and nobody has defended it well yet. Yeah,

743
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 9: so keep doing that down there. I was happy that

744
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 9: they that lip Key you know, got a good lead

745
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 9: block down the goal line there. Pollard filed them right in.

746
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 9: So that was good to see. And I don't know,

747
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 9: it just it sets up really well for them right now.

748
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 9: And I just want to see what you think other

749
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 9: than that it's what's rock and roll?

750
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rock and roll, all right, Travis, appreciate that.

751
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: You know you're right about that, Cooks. It's been three

752
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: games in a row where it's just right there in

753
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: the corner. I mean, I think it's a credit. It's

754
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: not just cooked. I mean, that is a perfect pass

755
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: that Dak is just like dropping right there in the bucket.

756
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 2: And so that right there is is that's the connection.

757
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: That's the part that I think is really really good

758
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 2: here is Dak has now three guys that he has

759
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 2: a really really strong connection with, none bigger than CD.

760
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he kidd me thirteen targets yesterday, thirteen receptions.

761
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like they're just like the balls just

762
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: connected to both of them. I mean, it's it's it's

763
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: unreal with what they're doing right now with both of them.

764
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: But then you throw Cooks in there as well. You know,

765
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: they have a goal line connection as well. That's one

766
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: of the things that are really doing a nice job

767
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: around the goal line throwing the ball in there. Cooks.

768
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: You know, there's eight touchdowns this year. And then Ferguson's

769
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: another guy. I mean, Ferguson seventy one catches about seven

770
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards. You know, that's there's not a

771
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 2: lot of tight ends in Cowboy's history that have done

772
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: that seventy and seven hundred, you know, and being the

773
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: second or third option. But Ferguson made a play yesterday

774
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: right in front of the Cowboys sideline where it was

775
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: just short of the sticks. He caught it and then

776
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: just kind of slithered his way behind one guy or

777
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: you know, and then then was spending and turning and

778
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: it was probably going to be a six or seven

779
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: yard play and he ended up getting like thirteen yards.

780
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: And that right there is just that is what a

781
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: dynamic tight end can give you. If you got that,

782
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 2: you got a playmaking tight end that can make plays

783
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: over the middle and then get it from seven eight

784
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: yards to ten to fifteen and move the sticks. That

785
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 2: right there is a difference maker. That's what Jake Ferguson

786
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: has been this year. He's really taking this team to

787
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 2: another level.

788
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 8: You know.

789
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: One thing I was going to mention though, is you know,

790
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 2: just when you talk about the storylines, you know, obviously

791
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: this is the show. Is the storyline. If if you

792
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 2: were like this was like a Bowl games or they

793
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: do this in March Madness where they actually picked the matchups,

794
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if this is what it was, we're like,

795
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 2: all right, here are the playoff teams. Let's just figure

796
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 2: out the matchups. You couldn't have done it any better

797
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: than this, And that's not the way it works. It's

798
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: just the way the seeding is. But when you look

799
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: at the stories of this playoff picture, you, like I said,

800
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: you you couldn't write a better script, Like all right,

801
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: let's uh, all right, let's do this. Let's put San

802
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: Francisco at one. Oh, let's put Dallas at two. Let's

803
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: put them where they can maybe have a collision course

804
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: Dallas San Francisco in the championship game. That's great, all right,

805
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 2: So who are gonna play with Dallas. Let's go with

806
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: the Green Bay. Yeah, McCarthy used to coach there. They

807
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 2: a lot of history love Dallas. Green Bay. Well, we

808
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: got Lions, Lions and Rams. Wow. Stafford used to play

809
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: for Detroit. Now he played for the Rams. They traded

810
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: for golf golfs, which perfect. Let's put them together. He

811
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: goles and he goes and Bucks. I don't really have

812
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: anything there, but you go to the AFC. Cleveland used

813
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: to you know, I know DeShawn Watson's not playing, but

814
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: I mean Houston's going. I mean Cleveland's going to Houston.

815
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 2: I mean Sean will be there. That's that's the story

816
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: in itself. I'll just leave it at that. Tyreek Hill,

817
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins going to Kansas City. Tyreek's you know, he's

818
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 2: not shy about his his words in the media and

819
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: some of the things he said, So that all that's

820
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: gonna be interesting. Kansas City goes back and plays them.

821
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: You know, they have other matchups there and of course

822
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: in in the AFC as well. But I mean just

823
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 2: from from a story perspective, a lot of good ones,

824
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: a lot of good stuff, and you know, it's just

825
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: it's as cool to be a part of it, you

826
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 2: know what I mean, just just that hey, we're we're

827
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 2: still in this. We're still gonna have to cover. But uh,

828
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 2: you know, the Cowboys obviously have their own story, even

829
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: though McCarthy kind of dismissed it, you know. And and

830
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: there's not a whole lot of players anymore from from

831
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: the Packers that are with the Cowboys. I mean, I'm

832
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 2: sorry that he coached at the Packers that are still there.

833
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 2: Uh and obviously the big one that Aaron Rodgers not there.

834
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: But uh still, I'm sure there'll be a lot of

835
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: a lot of talk about that. And uh, you know,

836
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: and not just McCarthy, but Dallas Green Bay in the playoffs.

837
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: I mean, what a storied tradition there is. But still,

838
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: I just wanted to point that out. How these matchups.

839
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you you really couldn't write a better script.

840
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: And did I not say that Stafford going back and

841
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: Chris wrote, I think I said Stafford going back to

842
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: Detroit golf playing you know, his former team. I mean

843
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: that right there at Rams Rams and Lions I mean,

844
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: that's that's unbelievable. How they're going to match up in

845
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs. That's gonna be a good win. You know,

846
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: if Dallas wins the game, uh Sunday afternoon, three thirty. Uh,

847
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 2: they win that game, then you know, the winner, the

848
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 2: winner of Detroit. I guess of if Detroit wins, well,

849
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: I guess you have to you have the Rams. If

850
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: the Rams win then then then I guess the Cowboys

851
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: would play the four or five winner on Monday night.

852
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: So still gotta take care of business. Got to one

853
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 2: one game at a time, all right. Next caller is

854
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: Irwin in Denver.

855
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 8: Good morning, how you doing own great, really good one,

856
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 8: really good win yesterday. Yeah, just a couple of things

857
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 8: for you. I'm kind of glad that we relatively came

858
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 8: out injury three with the exception of Gilmore.

859
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: I hope he's doing okay.

860
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 8: And the last thing I just want to say and

861
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 8: get your thoughts on it is, I just hope that

862
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 8: McCarthy doesn't go into this playoff game with any kind

863
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 8: of pressure on it because he's going up against his

864
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 8: old team and how that thing just kind of ended,

865
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 8: you know, And I just wanted to get your thoughts.

866
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 6: On that, and I'll let you go.

867
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 2: All thanks, veryone. Appreciate that. Uh he definitely held on

868
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: the phone on the line there longer than the call,

869
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: and I appreciate that. Sorry for h making you wait,

870
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: but yeah, I do appreciate those those quick calls, quick points, Gilmore.

871
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is a football player for you.

872
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: You know, I'm fine, I'm good to go. My shoulder

873
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: popped out. We just popped it back in. I'm fine.

874
00:43:55,400 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 2: I mean cool. I mean that's you know, that's I

875
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: would imagine it's probably a little bit more than that.

876
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: I mean because when he said that, you're like, okay, great.

877
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: But then like I saw him, I guess walking to

878
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 2: the bus. I mean he's still he had a sling.

879
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: I mean, that doesn't mean that it's not gonna be okay,

880
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: but it's just that he was wearing a sling just

881
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: to protect a little bit. I think he's going to

882
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: be okay to play. I wouldn't be surprised if he

883
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: doesn't practice like on Wednesday, but you know, we'll see

884
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: what kind of range and and motion that that he

885
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 2: can have with that. He says he's fine, Butcarthy, you

886
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: know also said that, like, not really worried about it,

887
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: but something something to monitor for sure. But that was

888
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why I've been playing playing the Packers.

889
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: I mean, I know they have receivers. I mean, they

890
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: have guys that can make some plays. But it wasn't

891
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: it Christian Watson just a couple of years ago that

892
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 2: had three touchdowns in one game and it was blind

893
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: Bland that was giving up some of those. I think

894
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 2: as a rookie that it was two years ago. Sorry,

895
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 2: that feels like forever ago when they played that game,

896
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 2: uh green Bay. But and then as for the McCarthy,

897
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 2: that game that that game in Green Bay last season,

898
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 2: that was one. I think there's a lot of pressure

899
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: on him to go up there and win that game.

900
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: Coming back, I don't know if it's the same you

901
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: know when you're when you're at home. Uh, he's gonna

902
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: downplay it a lot. You know, the media will, we'll

903
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 2: we'll throw it out there. But you know, I just

904
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: think the way this team is playing at home, they

905
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: they know what they've got to do. It doesn't matter

906
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 2: who it is. They've got to take care of business.

907
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: So that that crowded at and T Stadium will be

908
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: ready to go. There's gonna be a white out that

909
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 2: that is what the Cowboys have announced that that they're doing.

910
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 2: You know, so if you're going to the game, encouraged

911
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 2: to wear white, but you know it'll be Ah, it'll

912
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: be a show. I mean, there's no doubt about it.

913
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it. I mean, I know we're we're

914
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 2: kind of austraial here on Monday, still talking a little

915
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: bit about Washington, but all eyes forward at this point too,

916
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 2: for the for the Packers game on Sunday at three thirty.

917
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep going a couple more calls here

918
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 2: before we can finish this. We've got Josh in Chicago.

919
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, good morning.

920
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 2: How you doing, Josh? How you doing good?

921
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 11: Glad to have another win and another twelve and five season.

922
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, those don't get old twelve and five, you know.

923
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 2: And let me point something out real quick, Josh, before

924
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: you get going. I've been here long enough where I

925
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: saw three five and elevens from Dave Campbell, five and eleven,

926
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 2: three years in a row. They kind of run together

927
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 2: when you have the same I saw three eight and

928
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 2: eights in a row with Jason Garrett. So these three,

929
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 2: twelve and fives. I mean, let's let's let's not forget that.

930
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 2: Let's not forget that. This is the kind of consistency

931
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 2: that you want, not the five and eleven or eight

932
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 2: and eight, This this twelve and five, because this will

933
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: give you a chance to compete. You keep you keep

934
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 2: rolling out twelve and five, You're gonna be fine. Sorry,

935
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 2: go ahead, No, I one hundred.

936
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 11: Percent agree with you in your article. I think said

937
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 11: it best today is there's something about this year though,

938
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 11: still feels a little bit different last year, you know,

939
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 11: in the year before. So yeah, I try to call

940
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 11: it for a couple of weeks and keep not getting

941
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 11: able to get through. So I'll just say my favorite

942
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 11: football movie has got to be Remember the Titan When

943
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 11: the Replacements is on. I just got to sit down

944
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 11: and watch The Replacements. It's such a good movie too.

945
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: And try that again. I've seen it once.

946
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

947
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 11: As for this team, you know, I think really nobody

948
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 11: can get in their way in the NFC except for

949
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 11: the Dallas Cowboys themselves. I really do think the way

950
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 11: they've been playing, even the forty nine ers, something's been

951
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 11: different since the bye week. Dak and ceed have been

952
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 11: different if they stay out of their way with the penalties.

953
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 11: I really think that, No, they'll have a chance in

954
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 11: every single playoff game to play. And then I'll got

955
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 11: a question for you. I'll take it off the airs.

956
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 11: I think some of this early run game, something that

957
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 11: might help is having some designed runs for Dak, especially

958
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 11: some of the early downs, to just get them to

959
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 11: respect his legs and respect that element of his game

960
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 11: as well, and maybe put that out there for the defense.

961
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 11: Open some stuff up for Tony a little bit more

962
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 11: and Rica a little bit more.

963
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, uh, all right, thanks for thanks

964
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: for the colleg Josh, good good stuff.

965
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

966
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 8: I like that.

967
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 2: I like to design runs for Dak. I think that's

968
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: something that we don't see a whole lot. And I

969
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: think right now there's just a confidence level that Dak's

970
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 2: gonna step back and throw the ball and they're gonna

971
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 2: catch it and they're gonna make the play and if

972
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna be CD great. I mean, ferguson all of them,

973
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: and that mentality has helped this team win a lot

974
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 2: of games. That mentality almost got him in trouble in

975
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 2: Detroit and Seattle game because they were we got this

976
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 2: third down, should be running it to to you know,

977
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 2: take off forty seconds forty five seconds or so. But nah,

978
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: let's just put the game away right now because we

979
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 2: got this. Sometimes you don't. But but I mean, it's

980
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 2: that mentality more often than not that I think has

981
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 2: helped team. So you know, it's it's led the basketball

982
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: player thinks he's gonna make every shot, you know, he

983
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 2: but you know sometimes you know, sometimes you break a few,

984
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: you know, and sometimes you miss some. But it's the

985
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: mentality that I think has really helped this team. And uh,

986
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 2: and that they're having a lot more success than their failures,

987
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: which is evident by the record and evident by the records.

988
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you need to go down the line on

989
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 2: all these kind of milestones. I mean, it's been a

990
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: fun year for that kind of stuff. All I think

991
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: about one word caller. Let's go David and fort Worth. David,

992
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 2: what's up?

993

Speaker 7: How you doing?

Speaker 12: Miss missy man, miss a little one, pretty busy thoab.

00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 12: He's good man, he's growing, he's chunky.

998
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 6: Man.

999
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 12: I don't know how he's getting.

1000
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 6: So I'm a little man, I'm like five to six.

1001
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 12: He's like already like top percentile but anyways, man, I know,

1002
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 12: I know the show's almost over. Man, I appreciate you guys.

1003
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 6: Sqeeze me in.

1004
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 12: I just wanted to share a little bit of excitement.

1005
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 12: Brother Like I like to be a level headed van.

1006
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 12: I don't always think the year is our year, but man,

1007
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 12: I feel it this year, the way Dakla, the way

1008
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 12: McCarthy's got this team ready to go, feels very very good.

1009
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 12: I did want to touch on something that you were

1010
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 12: kind of touching on as far as storylines. I think

1011
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 12: that it's interesting. I called after I called before the

1012
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 12: Jets game, and I said, I don't care about playing Rogers.

1013
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter.

1014
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 12: I don't care about beating the best. It doesn't matter

1015
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 12: to me. And I still hold that sentiment right now.

1016
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 12: But I do think it's kind of interesting that if

1017
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 12: things fall in line, the Cowboys have the opportunity to

1018
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 12: exercise a lot of demons. They can exercise the Packers

1019
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 12: who have knocked them out of the playoffs a couple times.

1020
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 12: They can exercise the Rams who ran all over us

1021
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 12: with twenty eighteen. Then they can go and they can

1022
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 12: knock out the Juggernaut, the San Francisco forty nine ers

1023
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 12: who have been a thorn in their back. I really

1024
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 12: really hope that they do it.

1025
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 10: Brother, I miss you, I missed calling in.

1026
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 12: I'm gonna try to call them more. I appreciate you

1027
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 12: so much.

1028
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: Thanks you, David. Appreciate that good good call. And yeah,

1029
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't think about the Rams perspective, you know,

1030
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: but either way, either way, like if you win that

1031
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 2: game and if you play, maybe play one of those teams.

1032
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you huld play the Rams. Don't think

1033
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: you can? Can you play the Rams? I don't think

1034
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 2: you can play the Rams because I mean you play

1035
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: them in the championship game, because I mean the seventh

1036
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 2: seed is the Packers, and so if the Rams win,

1037
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: they would play San Francisco, so they I mean the

1038
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 2: Rams would be the sixth seed and that's the lowest seed.

1039
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: So I don't think you can play the Rams in

1040
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 2: the divisional I could be wrong with that, but yeah, right, okay,

1041
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: and so and so if the if the Rams win

1042
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 2: and and the Cowboys Colways beat the forty nine Rams win,

1043
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: then then you'd play the four or five. You'd play

1044
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: the Bucks or the Eagles at home, So hey, bring it,

1045
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 2: I mean whoever, I mean at this point. Bring it

1046
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 2: the way this team is playing, the way and the

1047
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: way we know they can play. Yeah, they've lost some games.

1048
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: Buffalo that was that was a stinker. And ever, you know,

1049
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 2: think about this, every team the Cowboys have had that

1050
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 2: have won a Super Bowl, they've had a game like that.

1051
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 2: Even in the super Bowl years, they've had a game

1052
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 2: late in the year where you're like, wow, this team

1053
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 2: that's over, you know, and they can't believe they lost

1054
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: this game, you know, to the Dolphins on Thanksgiving, or

1055
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: they can't believe they lost this game to them, you know,

1056
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: whoever to Washington, you know. But then they come back

1057
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 2: and you figure out a way to go and win.

1058
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 2: So all right, we're running out of time here. Cowboys

1059
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,760
Speaker 2: breaks me gonna be coming up here in a few minutes.

1060
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 2: We'll hear what they have to say breaking down the game.

1061
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 2: It's been a good one, a lot of good calls today.

1062
