1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: This these Cowboys storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman,

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: and it is the bye week for the Cowboys, and

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: man do they ever need it? Cowboys hitting at three

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: and three right now and certainly needing some extra time

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: to get over some of these wombs that they've suffered here,

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: both physically with a lot of injuries and then also

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: with the beatdown that they had against the Detroit Lions,

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: the one of the worst we've ever seen in Cowboys history,

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: especially at home. Forty seven to nine just last week

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: against the Lions. Fortunately counts as one one loss, doesn't

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: matter if you lose in overtime or losing that one

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: it's three to three. But obviously the it is concerning

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: as as everyone has said, humbling, all all those words

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: that Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy, Stephen Jones have said,

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: the players, just on how you're losing these games, because

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: the Lions probably aren't the best team that they're going

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: to face this year. They might be, they're pretty good,

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: but but there's going to be others that they they face,

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: and so, you know, losing at home the way they have, uh,

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: in the fashion that they have is something that's got

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: to get fixed for sure, because you've got to protect

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: home home field. And they've done a decent job obviously

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: of winning games on the road, but we know that

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: the better teams have played here at home and it

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 3: hasn't been close. So the Cowboy's got to figure out

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: a way to do that. Maybe they can get healthy

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: along the way. All right, eight eight eight eight five

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: five two two ninety seven is the number to call.

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: You guys already on the line today, So we'll start

34
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: us off in Kansas City. We got Brian and Kansas City.

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: What's up?

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: Good morning, Nick, How are you starting?

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 5: How are you doing well?

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: You know, I watched last night when I got home

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: watched I was like, I wonder how bad this one's

40
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: going to be. So I watched yesterday's show and you know,

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: there are some angry people. You know, there were some

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: angry people, but it's frustrating. You know, it's frustrating to

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: watch a game like that. So you kind of get.

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: That, right, yep, yep, I understand.

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so My question is, so, I'm not sure.

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: You know what I always say, you know, everything's won

47
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: and lost in the trenches. I've been, you know, as

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: far back as I can remember. If that's how football played,

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: run the ball, stop the run, every pee week, coach,

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: I'd tell you that, right So, I'm not sure. So

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: with defense, you hope just getting healthy is going to

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: prove us at least some you know, we we haven't

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: been a good run defense for a couple of years now,

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: right so, but it's going to be better than what

55
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: we just saw if you have those three starters, right Yeah,

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: you know, you can't take Kendricks and Parsons and Tank

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: out of the lineup and expect that everything's just going

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: to flow and be great. Right So, But with the

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 4: offensive line, I'm not sure what the heck they can

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: do this year to show improvements. So the only thing

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: I heard, and I heard it on one of the shows, was,

62
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: you know, and this is not one of the shows

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: saying that they heard the Cowboys say they were going

64
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: to do this. This is just something they heard probably

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: you know, just fans rumoring about is you know, what

66
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: if they moved Steel's been struggling, What if they moved.

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: They tried their first round draft pick guiding out at

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: right tackle because that's what he played in college. And

69
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 4: so but just if you had any have you heard anything,

70
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: what are they going to do with the offensive line?

71
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: Are they going to tinker with it? Or when we

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: get to San Francisco is it going to be the

73
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: starting five we had when we started the season. And

74
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: then my player for this week is somebody he was

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: there when you first got there, Billy Davis, wide receiver,

76
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: Billy Davis.

77
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: Right, all right, all right, Brian, let's let's go to

78
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: the old line part. You know, I think that Jerry

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: Jones said this morning on the on the fan about

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: Tyler Goyton being the left tackle for this team that

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: that's obviously not the part on his interview that's getting

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: replayed a lot this morning is if you didn't hear

83
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: it or heard about it, there was it was definitely

84
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: an intense to say the least. Uh, and you know,

85
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: just just frustrations over over, you know, answering questions that

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: he I guess doesn't feel you know, are I don't

87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: know about worthy, but but you know, things that are

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: going to fix the problem. But but either way, he

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: talked about the left tackle. He said Tyler Goyiton should

90
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: be the left tackle. So I don't I don't see

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: them moving a lot. I mean we I was just

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: on the Cowboys break just now on our mix Up

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: show this week, and we talked about that possibility of

94
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: maybe moving him to right tackle, maybe Terrence Steele over

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: the left.

96
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: Either way you're gonna have You're gonna.

97
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: Have issues at left tackle because Terrence Steele's you know,

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not his natural position either. So you know,

99
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 3: figuring out your your five best linemen. They they they

100
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: played TJ. Basset at left guard. That wasn't That didn't

101
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: help a lot, you know. But you know, Zach Martin's

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 3: not playing his best football either. I mean, this is

103
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: probably the worst we've seen from him. And the standards

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: are very high. But uh, if you can't lean on

105
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: Zach Martin like you've always been able to for a decade,

106
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: then it's gonna be problematic. And that's kind of what

107
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: we've seen. So we'll see what they come up with here.

108
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: They've they've got extra time in this bye week to

109
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: maybe make some changes, and maybe that is something that

110
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: that we'll we'll see, all right, let's go to Irene

111
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: in Falls Church, Virginia.

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Good morning Chris. All right, the good

113
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 6: news I had a streamper to buy, so my dream

114
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 6: of parents have still However, bad news is I did

115
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 6: not have it looking like a nightmare, which is kind

116
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 6: of what it looks like so far. But actually it's

117
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 6: funny you just touched on it with Zack Martin during

118
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 6: the game. I on our Storyliner's community on x I wrote,

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 6: should we talk about Jack Martin? Because to me it's

120
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 6: been noticeable. I mean, the man has had what twenty

121
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 6: five percent of his penalties this year, but of course

122
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 6: that's because he's had like eighth total in his career.

123
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: But I am hoping and so and then Rick and

124
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 6: Masthussetts cag me that PFF gave him like a twenty

125
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 6: eight point and it'll not end all be all, But

126
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 6: obviously there's a drop. I am hoping it's a small injury.

127
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 6: But with a back, what are you going to do?

128
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 6: I'm concerned that two weeks isn't going to be enough

129
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 6: for him. And if Dak can't rely on his Hall

130
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 6: of Famer, then he's gonna rush every so so and

131
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 6: he's going to try to play hero ball, and unfortunately

132
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 6: he's not great at doing that for the whole game.

133
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: I mean, who really is. But he's scared out there

134
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 6: for sure. I hope the team rests. I hope they rally,

135
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 6: do the gut check thing, turn it around. But otherwise

136
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 6: I feel like the wheels are about to come off.

137
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: But you know, I'll say this, I still love them,

138
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: I still love our community. None of this will change.

139
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 7: And that's it.

140
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 6: Thanks for taking a call, and I hope you guys

141
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 6: rest and relaxed during the buy as well.

142
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: All right, thank you.

143
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if I heard that that one part

144
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: in there, but Dak is playing scared. I don't know

145
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: about that, but but yeah, I mean the wheels are wobbly.

146
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: This is the time that you know, this is just

147
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: like with any you know. I mean I've ever been

148
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: in a NASCAR pit crew, But if the wheels are

149
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: or wobbly, you know, when the car comes in for

150
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: for a stop, I mean, tighten it up. And that's

151
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: what it is. This is a break right now that

152
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 3: that that you can do some certain things like that.

153
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: I get it.

154
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: Looking at the schedule doesn't get easier. You got the

155
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers and then Falcons on the road, and

156
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: you know, Falcons look pretty good Philly and Houston at

157
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: home at Washington. I mean, it doesn't doesn't get much

158
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: easier until you get to Thanksgiving and you play the

159
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: Giants and who knows, and that even that game was

160
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: close in the Metal ends, it'll probably be close as well.

161
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: So you know, the schedule is is what it is.

162
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: I mean, every game on here is going to be

163
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: a game that the Cowboys better be ready for. But

164
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: if they are, they can win all of them. I

165
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: mean there's not there's not a game on here and

166
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: I'm including San Francisco that that the Cowboys can't go

167
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: up there and get this thing working. But they have

168
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: to get healthy, they have to get their offensive line

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: and check it and that the continuity on the line

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: is so important. And so that's where I think they're

171
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: going to have to figure out sooner than later, what

172
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: what what are we doing here? Who's our guys? And

173
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: and I still think it is Tyler Geydon. I think

174
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: we saw that he was banged up and they didn't

175
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: feel like he was one hundred percent ready to play,

176
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: which is why he didn't play at all in the game.

177
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Brad in Los Angeles. It's

178
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: up Brad.

179
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how were you good?

180
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: How's it going?

181
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 8: It's going good. I'm a first time caller, brother. I

182
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 8: wanted to say, I originally met you in Waco when

183
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 8: I lived back there and I used to go to

184
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 8: Baylor Pro Day every year, and I had a Cowboys

185
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 8: fan page and you did an interview for me. Nobody

186
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 8: else would and I really appreciated.

187
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: It at the time.

188
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: But cool, Well, first time caller man, thank you, there

189
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: we go.

190
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 8: How you absolutely, I'm good. I wanted to talk. I

191
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 8: know everybody wants to talk about the schedule and talk

192
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 8: about how the seasons you know, up at arms and

193
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 8: how a lot of people are embarrassed. But I feel

194
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 8: like we've as Cowboy fans, we've been embarrassed about, you know,

195
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 8: that situation time and time again. I wanted to talk

196
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 8: a little bit about the Jerry Jones one oh five

197
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 8: three the fan interview this morning. Yeah, and see how

198
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 8: you felt about that being you know, somebody of the

199
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 8: media and his response and just putting somebody's job, or

200
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 8: putting the fear of somebody's job, you know, out there

201
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 8: for basically doing their job and just telling somebody that

202
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 8: you know it's not their job, that he'll get somebody

203
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 8: else to ask these questions when you know us as

204
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 8: fans and everybody excuse me in the media around the

205
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 8: world knows what a GM's job is and he's obviously

206
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 8: not getting that job. And I want to know why

207
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 8: the owner, Jerry Jones constantly wants to make excuses instead

208
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 8: of getting somebody instead of doing that what he literally

209
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 8: will do to somebody in the media, but he won't

210
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 8: do to somebody that works for his organization as a GM,

211
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 8: even though he is a GM.

212
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not sure I'm following what Well, tell me

213
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: what you're asking exactly, because I gotta be careful with

214
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: what well, what are you asking exactly?

215
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 8: I just I know you guys got to be careful

216
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 8: to what you say. But it's just I know you

217
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 8: guys can't ask certain questions because of you know his responses.

218
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 8: But I know me he won't put that fear into

219
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 8: me because he doesn't control what I do. My question is,

220
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 8: so I will ask that question. I just want to

221
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 8: know somebody, as a GM of a football team that

222
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 8: won three Super Bowls in less than a decade, but

223
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 8: hasn't been to an NFC championship in the last three decades.

224
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 8: I just feel like it's a different in a different organization,

225
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 8: somebody that was in that position as a GM. You know,

226
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 8: the way they've handled the last thirty years, the way

227
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 8: they constantly handed the roster situation every year, even with contracts,

228
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 8: free agents, whatever it be. If there was another GM

229
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 8: in that situation, how would Jerry handle that? Would he

230
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 8: get rid of that GM?

231
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 5: Would he back that.

232
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 8: GM like he backed hisself.

233
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

234
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 8: I just feel like any other franchise, a different GM

235
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 8: in that situation, they would have got the boot a

236
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 8: long time ago. And I know, you know, And it

237
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 8: seems this morning, heat of all things, finally starting to

238
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 8: feel the pressure.

239
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, thank you, thanks for the call, Brett.

240
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: You know, that's a there's a lot. There's a lot

241
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: to unpacked there. You can dissect what he actually said

242
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: to the guy, you can. I've heard it twice already.

243
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's only been an hour and a half.

244
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: I've heard two different versions of what people think he

245
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: was saying.

246
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 9: There.

247
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: Is he threatening someone's job or is he threatening or

248
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: is he saying I could take this to another show

249
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: whatever whatever it is. I mean, that whole thing is

250
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: a weird, you know, dynamic too, because you know, the

251
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: fan is a is a partner to the Cowboys and

252
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: that's why they're the flagship of the station. So you know,

253
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: they don't they asked the question, and they weren't even

254
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 3: going crazy on asking while the questions they were just saying,

255
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: basically what a lot of fans want to hear is like,

256
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: how can they get better?

257
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: Can they go?

258
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: Can you go make you know, make moves? And he

259
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: basically cut them off and said, you know who, who

260
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: are you going to get? Where are you going to

261
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: get right now at this time of the year. So

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: you know, knowing that's that's the strategy, Like, he knows

263
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: what his strategy is for this season and beyond. He

264
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: knows what they're trying to do. He knows he's already

265
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: thinking of next year's cap. He knows that he's not

266
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: using a lot of next year's draft cap to go

267
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: fix this year's team. So you know, I don't he

268
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: he are He has the ability to kind of know

269
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: what what the strategy is. And so when he can say,

270
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 3: well that's that's silly, that's ridiculous, when sometimes fans are thinking, well,

271
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 3: how do we fix this thing? You know, we're supposed

272
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: to watch this week's game and next week's game and

273
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: the rest of the schedule, and it's a long season,

274
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: so how are we How are we fixing it and

275
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: turning it around? And so they don't necessarily want to

276
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: hear that it's just with this coach, these these coordinators,

277
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: this assistant staff, these players, because what we've seen right

278
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: now is that it's not working. So I understand the

279
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: argument from the fans, I mean I get it, but

280
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 3: also get to understand too that like they're not going

281
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: they're not interested in going and renting a player, uh

282
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: and and and having him come in and and maybe

283
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: learn the offense or defense or whatever for you know,

284
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: take a half a season to do that, just to

285
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: see if they can, you know, help this team. And

286
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: then what do you have to give up to do that?

287
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: So that's where I think the Cowboys are kind of

288
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: like not not thinking, they're not really trying to make

289
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: trades to get better. There there's a kind of the

290
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: waiver wire that they haven't already looked at. I'd be

291
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: I'd be shocked, because you know, they've They've done that.

292
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: So that's that's all I'm gonna say about the the

293
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: stuff with Jerry. I mean, you guys can decipher what

294
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: he was saying and what what he means and if

295
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: he was out of line or or or what or

296
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: or if the media was But I mean, that's that's

297
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: it all comes down to the fact that you know,

298
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: tensions are high when you get games like you had

299
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: on Sunday, uh and and and now what's what's happening here?

300
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: And as you move forward with the rest of the schedule.

301
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Mike in Mississippi. We call

302
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: him Rookie Mike.

303
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: Is that right?

304
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, Hey Nick, how you doing?

305
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: I'm good man, how are you?

306
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: And I think Jerry's just frustrated, like all Lois with

307
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: their bad loves Sonday. I didn't see that coming. I

308
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 5: thought it'd be a hash going game on both ends. Yeah,

309
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 5: and we just didn't really protect back well at all.

310
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: But I'm more of a half glass full type of guy. Yeah,

311
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 5: So I just want to say to all the Cowboys

312
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 5: fans out there, Look, we're three and three going into

313
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: the bye week, well, one game out of first place.

314
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 5: I could see if the Eagles are Washington had a

315
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: three game lead, and then yeah, well we got four

316
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 5: of our starting defensive ends out. We're getting three of

317
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 5: them back. We got our middle linebacker out, We're getting

318
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: him back. We got two of our top corner backs out.

319
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: We're getting them back. Our left tackles out, We're getting

320
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 5: him back. But we got a wide receiver ro Oute,

321
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 5: We're getting him back. So, I mean, the lift goes

322
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: on and on. So I just was like, uh.

323
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 7: I don't know why.

324
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: I don't know why I get nervous on the phone calls.

325
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: Now you're doing great.

326
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: You're doing great, man, I mean like like, and you're right,

327
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: the glasses is half full, and uh And that's a

328
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: good take on it. Now you could take the flip side,

329
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: say what's the right are going to be when they

330
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: do get them all back, because they're not all different,

331
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: but a lot of them are are a lot of

332
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: those are.

333
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: I would say either this week next week.

334
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: You know, most of those guys that you mentioned, I

335
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: guess half of them will probably play against the forty

336
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: nine ers, so that that's a good thing.

337
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: And so yeah, I think Micah and Deron Blaine would

338
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 5: be back next week.

339
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: Guiding Carson Kendricks. Maybe I'm not not sure on Kendricks

340
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: that that that one is one to definitely watch. But

341
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: but I don't know either way on that one. They

342
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: still haven't haven't said because there's two different injuries. But

343
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: to your point, I think I think you're making a

344
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: good point. You know, if you want to be something,

345
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: to have some silver lining, you want to be optimistic

346
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: about something, it's it's that so for sure.

347
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, we took a couple of bad losses

348
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 5: last year, you know, with the Arizona loss forty nine ers.

349
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, I just I just think, look, we got

350
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: a lot more games to play with one game at

351
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 5: the first, let's let's pump the brakes a little bit.

352
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 5: I don't think the season is over. Like I said,

353
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 5: We're getting a lot of guys back. I want to

354
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 5: tell you a really cool football story if I had time.

355
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: All right, that's good, huh, go for it, Go for.

356
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 5: It, make all right. So a few years ago, I

357
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 5: was at the Cowboy Wyys with the Saint Louis Rams

358
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 5: at the time. You know, Dan Bailey gets up there

359
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 5: to kick the ball. I know you remember this, to

360
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 5: break the Cowboy record for most kicks made at the time,

361
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 5: and I was sitting behind the gold post and actually.

362
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 10: Caught the ball and I still got the ball today.

363
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: Nice n Yeah.

364
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 5: So, and I want to ask you a quick question.

365
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: Have you always been a Cowboys fan or you just

366
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 5: become one when you started working that.

367
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: No, I was when I was three years old. Three

368
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: years old.

369
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 3: I couldn't pronounce the names correctly, but I knew a

370
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: lot of the players on the team and a lot

371
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: of the quarterbacks in the league. I love the Dallas

372
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 3: Cowboys more than anything, more than school. I didn't do

373
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: well in school because I didn't care about school. I

374
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 3: cared about the Cowboys winning a game against the Giants

375
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: and I would tape it on my old VCR and

376
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 3: I would watch them back and stuff like that, and

377
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: that's all I really cared about. So yeah, the Dallas Cowboys,

378
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 3: it's a it's a it's a it's a dream for

379
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 3: me to be able to even do this today because

380
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: of where I came from and and and what my

381
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: childhood was like being a Dallas Cowboy fan. So yeah,

382
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: I've been a Cowboy fan. And I feel I could

383
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: feel your pain because I was there. I was seven

384
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: years old. I was crying when every time they would

385
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: lose a game, you know, because that's what I thought

386
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: was the most important thing. So yeah, I can feel

387
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: I can relate to you guys.

388
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Well, well I'll keep calling back up. I'll

389
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 5: try to call in every Tuesday if I can get through.

390
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 5: I tried to call for years to talk to you,

391
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 5: but I couldn't never get in. But I gave up.

392
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 5: But that's another reason why Cowboys fans shouldn't give up.

393
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: Thanks, all right, see you later. All right, that's Mike

394
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: and Mississippi. I think that's the first time caller. Uh,

395
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: we didn't get as here we go, but we.

396
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: Here we go? All right?

397
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: How about Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida?

398
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, how are you doing today?

399
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 4: Bud?

400
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: How are you doing?

401
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 10: I can't complain too much.

402
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 5: First to shout out your boy.

403
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 11: I hope he's doing well.

404
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 5: Do you catch his first pass? Yeah?

405
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: We have to have him played with that like two

406
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: buys head and hadn't played and he felt like a month.

407
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: So he'll play this week. We'll see what happens. They

408
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: don't throw him the ball, you know what I mean?

409
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: They they were doing reverses and stuff like that. He

410
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: just kind of hands the ball off and gets in

411
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: the way. But you know, I'm hoping for him some

412
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 3: two point conversions or something like that.

413
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: He didn't.

414
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: He didn't get the rock, but you know he didn't.

415
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 3: He didn't complain about it yet, so he might though.

416
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: He might. Just for him, am I just start telling

417
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: the quarterback, hey, jump ball, let's go. Seems to work.

418
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 7: Man.

419
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 10: Hey, man, I'm I'm like that last guy. I mean,

420
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 10: I'm a guy, a half full kind of guy. I've

421
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 10: always been an optimus in life. You just got to

422
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 10: root for the next game. And like you say all

423
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 10: the time, and I agree with you, wholeheartedly, take each

424
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 10: game as an individual game and enjoy it. Enjoy the game.

425
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 10: It was hard to enjoy this last one. Yeah, but

426
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 10: a lot of the games we can. Man, I like him. Blighters,

427
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 10: I mean I hate them, but you'll love them at

428
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 10: the same time. If that make sense.

429
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it makes it makes sense. That's why we

430
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: love and hate football altogether.

431
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 10: But yeah, I remember, I remember that Romo game against

432
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 10: the Bills a couple of years ago. Through five picks

433
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 10: and won the game. And again I was like, what's

434
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 10: greatest game ever.

435
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny, that's seventeen years ago, like seven

436
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 3: seven years, seventeen seventeen years, oh my god, right, two

437
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 3: thousand and seven. It was twenty twenty five. You're right,

438
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. But it's like spent seventeen

439
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: years since that happened, and it does feel like because

440
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: we referenced a lot, it does feel like it was wasn't.

441
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: That long ago.

442
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, we've been to Buffalo two other times

443
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: since then and it hasn't been good and either time.

444
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: But you're you're right, Robbie, thanks for the call. You're

445
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: always really positive and thanks for that. But you know,

446
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: like glass half full, let's look at the flip side

447
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: as well too. Yes, they're three and three. The alarming

448
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: thing is that these three losses at home have not

449
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 3: been close, and they been to relatively good teams. I mean,

450
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: the Saints, I don't know what they're going to be.

451
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: They look pretty competitive, you know. They they had they

452
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: lost their quarterback for a game they were fighting with

453
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: with the Bucks there. They they've been pretty good.

454
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: Obviously.

455
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: The Ravens have turned things around there. They're rolling now

456
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 3: and they're they're going to be one of the top

457
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: teams in the league, and you know that that was

458
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: what was that game?

459
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: Was that close? Was it an ass kicking?

460
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: I think it was both. Honestly, it was kind of

461
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: a weird game. The Ravens scored when they needed to score,

462
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: and they move the ball and they needed to to

463
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: win the game. And then of course this last one

464
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: Detroit was one of the most embarrassing games that the

465
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: Cowboys have ever had, so that it's an alarming trend. Yes,

466
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 3: they're three and three, but but you look at the schedule.

467
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: A lot of these teams that they're about to play

468
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: are are going to be teams that they can give

469
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: them some problems. So they're going to have to fix

470
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: some things. I mean, and even if at this rate

471
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: here of eight and eight, eight, nine, nine and eight,

472
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: whatever is probably not going to get them in the playoffs,

473
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: so they're gonna have to turn things around around dramatically

474
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 3: to get this to go here. All right, let's take

513
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: The captain of our all storyline team last year, Rob

514
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: in Vegas. We'll see what Rob's got to say.

515
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, are you know I'm good? How are you good?

516
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 7: You know? I woke up, you know, I throw on

517
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 7: the sports and I see something come across about Jerry's things.

518
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 7: I said, I'll listen to it on the way to

519
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 7: my office. And unfortunately, and I think Age has to

520
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 7: do it. You know, Jerry used to be cool. Jerry

521
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 7: used to be the maverick. You know, he was hipped,

522
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 7: and now he's the old man telling you to get

523
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 7: off his lawn. And those guys, they did the right thing.

524
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 7: They were just asking questions that all of us been asking,

525
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 7: you know, and you knew the answer, and the answer

526
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 7: was I paid DAK, I paid c D. That's figure

527
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 7: it out. We knew he was going to use that

528
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 7: excuse and it's did he overpay for debt? Yes? But

529
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 7: my thing is as fans, we look at it like

530
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 7: but I keep saying it. I know I sound like

531
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 7: broke a record. You had a good team last year.

532
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 7: I know you got killed by Green Bay, but you

533
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 7: had a good We saw the deficiencies and you did

534
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 7: nothing to fix them, and it was like, so, how

535
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 7: did you think you were going to be better this year?

536
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 7: And all the fans that are calling in and saying

537
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 7: take it week.

538
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 8: By week, we do.

539
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 7: We take it week by week. But there is no

540
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 7: fun watching a game where the game's over in the

541
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 7: first quarter, and there's been three of them this year.

542
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 7: I mean, this team has nothing to lean on. The

543
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 7: coaching staff is gone in a couple of months. Everybody

544
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 7: knows it. But your head coach really doesn't bring anything

545
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 7: at the table. To be a head coach, you either

546
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 7: have to be a really good play caller or a disciplinarian,

547
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 7: and he's either.

548
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: Uh, you gotta how, Rob, how do you fix this season?

549
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 7: You don't.

550
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: You don't fix the season.

551
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 7: You can't because you can't your offensive line this year. Uh,

552
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 7: Zach Martin and I put it out there, Bill Parcell said,

553
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 7: if you start thinking about retirement, you're already retired. That's

554
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 7: what you're seeing in Zach Martin. You can't fix that.

555
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 7: You can't fix Tyler.

556
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 5: Guydon this year.

557
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 7: Next year he'll be better, but he ain't gonna take

558
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 7: a lead BB. Those guys will not be all pro.

559
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 7: So you can't fix that. You have no running backs.

560
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 7: You can't get one. You're not you don't really have

561
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 7: a number two wide receiver. You have guys, and we'll

562
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 7: see what happens. But you can't fix what's wrong. You

563
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 7: can't fix the defensive line.

564
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: You have nobody Okay, but everybody, Rob, But I get

565
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 3: I get what you're saying here, But but I get

566
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: what you your opinion is.

567
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: I mean not that's not fact. That's just what your

568
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: opinion is.

569
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 13: But of course.

570
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 7: Nothing fact, right, But I'll tell you there is no

571
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 7: There is one fact. The fact is Jerry Jones does

572
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 7: not use free agency correctly. He has never built a

573
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 7: team ever since Jimmy Johnson left. Jimmy built those ninet teams,

574
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 7: he was the talent evaluator.

575
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: Still opinion Jerry Jones, Well.

576
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 7: No, it's fact. Because Jimmy left, we have never won

577
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 7: a championship. Jerry does not use free agency. Okay, he

578
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 7: pays his draft picks with the assumption they will get better. Well,

579
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 7: that's not true. They don't always get better. Mazi hasn't

580
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 7: gotten better. Guys sometimes just don't get better. That's why

581
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 7: you use free agency on a proven commodity. And he

582
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 7: doesn't do that, and that's why we are where we

583
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 7: are for the last thirty years.

584
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to be better than that. You got

585
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: to be better than that. You can't mean, you can't

586
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: say Mozzie Smith. You can't talk about their draft points

587
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 3: and say Mozzie Smith and that's it.

588
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 7: He's a buck.

589
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: You can't you can't do that.

590
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: You can't say, fourteen years of drafts and go with

591
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: Mozzie Smith and Taco Chart and say that they're not drafting.

592
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not saying they don't draft well. But you

593
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 7: cannot win a championship without using free agency. It's proven

594
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 7: you draft. But when you need certain like a defensive

595
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 7: tackle or a a wide receive whatever, you need to

596
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 7: fill certain spots with free agency. This this ownership refuses

597
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 7: to do it. All the other teams do and they win.

598
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 7: We have not, And he says, we just don't pay

599
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 7: guys in free agency. That's the biggest difference between the

600
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys and every other team.

601
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: Thanks for the call. Let's go to Ali in Florida.

602
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: Thanks Rob for the call. Thank you Ali and Florida's next.

603
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 5: Hi, Nick, how are you saying?

604
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: What's that?

605
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 5: Not much?

606
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 15: I just want to make a few comments and then

607
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 15: hang up and listen. I don't blame mister Jones because

608
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 15: he went out of his way to do everything for

609
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 15: the Cowboys and he's signed DAK and CD. It's their

610
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 15: responsibility to play up to their contract. He only message

611
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 15: Jones is only one person, GM only. How do you

612
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 15: want to dicend? But there's a lot of coaching and

613
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 15: stuff around them, and this last I don't I don't

614
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 15: blame the defense because they have a lot of new

615
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 15: player off the street, patchwork here, patchwork there, and they

616
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 15: blame should go on the offensive sign. I remember Mike

617
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 15: McCarthy says, oh yeah, she will be more worried about.

618
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 7: CD shows up.

619
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 15: He's working hard, he's professional.

620
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 5: So it was dak.

621
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 15: I mean, do they gonna give refund to mister Jones?

622
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 15: I mean, this is this is horrible for the money

623
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 15: they're gonna make. And every time they miss each other,

624
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 15: they look at their TV put the faces like they're

625
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 15: complaining about something went wrong. But to me, it's a

626
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 15: Cowboys season.

627
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: It is what it is.

628
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 15: Uh, we still love it. But honestly, Godeck, you come

629
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 15: from the great family, great mom, great dad. It's nice

630
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 15: to understand a little bit of the fan base all

631
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 15: really hurt, and you'd be such a gentleman with them,

632
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 15: which is really you gotta go out of your way,

633
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 15: even though they're ridiculous sometimes be a little bit sympathetic

634
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 15: to them, because everybody's hurt, including me, including you, including

635
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 15: your own family. You know, we take a pride about

636
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 15: the Cowboys.

637
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 8: I love what you do.

638
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 15: This is what you're sign up for. That's that's that's

639
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 15: our role to calm the water.

640
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: You know, love your brother, Thank you.

641
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, you know. And I get the frustration

642
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: of of all the fans. I mean I get it,

643
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: and especially when because I watched games too, you feel

644
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: like you haven't figured out, you know. And and and

645
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 3: there's there's fans that that that call in and say, well,

646
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: why aren't they doing this or this or this and that.

647
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: I mean that's what the previous caller, Rob was like, Well,

648
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 3: you got to win and you got to do this

649
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: in free agency, and I mean they they aren't. They

650
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: aren't built that way. They build through the draft. They

651
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: re signed their players and and you know, you do

652
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: you do get some free agency, not the ones in March,

653
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: not not the ones. I mean you can't sit here

654
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 3: and say that they overpaid for DAK and overpaid for

655
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: CD and then say they should have done free agency.

656
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: Because if you do free agency, what do you think

657
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: that is?

658
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: When?

659
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: When does that ever? When does that ever get you

660
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: get bargain shopping there? And by overpaying, I mean all

661
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: of those guys are getting overpaid in uh, in free agency.

662
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 3: That's what free agency is. It's it's it's a kind

663
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 3: of desperate moves and and maybe the Cowboys, after you know,

664
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: thirty years of not winning, you know, going to an

665
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: NFC championship game, maybe they should change their approach some

666
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: that way. But it's it's not an overnight change because

667
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: you're the way that the cap works. They don't they

668
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: don't have the money. They did not have the money

669
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: to go and do these moves that that people wanted

670
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: them to do. There are some that that they I

671
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: think they made a mistake on you can I mean,

672
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: they probably shouldn't have made that trade with Trey Lance.

673
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: That's that's not doing anything for them. It's sitting on

674
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: their cap right now. And and they lost a fourth

675
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: round pick out of it. That was one where you know,

676
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: they probably they thought that they could develop and and

677
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: he's probably going to be a free agent at the

678
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: end of the season, and you know that that's going

679
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: to be a move that that wasn't the best. And

680
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: that's one of the things that Jerry said on the

681
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: radio Tuesday that that you know, like if he goes

682
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: back and goes all the mistakes that he made, well,

683
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: they that would take five years to to to talk

684
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: about every single mistake. So you make mistakes, you make

685
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: good ones, you make bad ones. But I get there's frustration.

686
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 3: But but you know, it's it's all it's all opinion.

687
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: There's you know, there's there's no you know, there's no

688
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: right or wrong way to do this, and so getting

689
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: all worked up about it, it's not going to do anything.

690
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to Alan in Clearwater, Florida.

691
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Nick.

692
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: Morning.

693
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 7: So about Rob's cole and what.

694
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 9: You were just talking about. First, I agree with you,

695
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 9: and I disagree with Rob that this is not a

696
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 9: free agency issue. If you look around the last ten years,

697
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 9: the teams that go very heavy in free agency are

698
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 9: really not the ones that are winning Super Bowls. It

699
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 9: is the teams that are adding one or two key players.

700
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 9: And perhaps the Cowboys have not spent on one or

701
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 9: two key players. But I think their system is perfectly

702
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 9: suitable because bottom line from me, my individual perspective, is

703
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 9: the talent on the team has been good enough to

704
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 9: do this. I don't think there's any doubt. You don't

705
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 9: go twelve and four in the NFL three years consecutive,

706
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 9: and you don't without the talent. We have the talent.

707
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 9: We even have the talent. Now, my opinion is it

708
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 9: is a failure of coaching. It's and here's my position

709
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 9: to me, leadership and coaching is about three basic things.

710
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 9: It is about putting your players in the right position,

711
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 9: using the talent that you have, wisely creating the right

712
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 9: game plan, and discipline. And discipline is about also motivating players.

713
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 9: I think it's a nif that in this era, these

714
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 9: young men don't need leadership at the very top, and

715
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 9: so if the players are not executing the scheme. So

716
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 9: here is my evidence for my position why it's all

717
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 9: about coaching. Again, we had a team that went into

718
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 9: Pittsburgh with the same per snel. A week later, we're

719
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 9: missing all our starters, right, and look how we played

720
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 9: that game. When certain teams are matched against our coaching staff,

721
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 9: we do fine. But when we don't, the schemes are

722
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 9: breaking down, the players are not.

723
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 5: Making the plays.

724
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 9: In my opinion, this is where great coaching comes into play.

725
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 9: This is what the Belichicks did, This is what the

726
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 9: Andy Reids do. I was watching this Chiefs play when

727
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 9: they were down halftime two weeks ago, and they were

728
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 9: interviewing read and he says, yeah, there's a couple of

729
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 9: things we're going to clean up. We'll get it right

730
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 9: in the second half. Right, the great coaches make the

731
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 9: in game adjustments and they change their game plan because

732
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 9: the other team's coaching against you, this team when we're

733
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 9: getting beat and I think that's what it counts for.

734
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 9: The discouragement about the last terrible home losses is when

735
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 9: we're getting beat so soundly. And if you go back

736
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 9: to last year, we all said when the defense started

737
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 9: to collapse, and we said, why did Dan Quinn change

738
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 9: the whole scheme for that game to match the Packers?

739
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 9: But then when you see it's not working, how come

740
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 9: we're still getting the same results in the second half.

741
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 9: And so, in my position, the three things the Cowboys

742
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 9: are failing at the discipline issues. If the team, if

743
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 9: the team is not playing hard enough during the game, Well, yeah,

744
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 9: of course that's the players, but that's where coaches. That's

745
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 9: what we're paying coaches to do. You pointed out it's

746
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 9: very troubling to hear during the week that they're not practicing. Well, again,

747
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 9: that is on the coaches to address with the players.

748
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 9: It comes from the top. And if you don't mean

749
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 9: make in game adjustments and you don't call the right

750
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 9: plays defensively and offensively. You have the talent. It's about coaches,

751
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 9: I think. I think it's about the coaches failing in

752
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 9: these big games against their getting out coached.

753
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 12: What do you think?

754
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Allen? Uh, yeah, I'll put it.

755
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: I'll put it on the coaching. I mean there's yes,

756
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 3: there's there's if they're not practicing, well, they're not ready

757
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 3: to play, they're not coming out. I said that stat

758
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 3: on the last show I just did. I said the

759
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 3: stat they're getting out scored sixty one to fifteen on

760
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: the first drives of the first half, and the second

761
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 3: half opening drives are getting out scored sixty one to fifteen.

762
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 3: So they're not doing anything. Cowboys aren't scoring any touchdowns.

763
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: They haven't scored a touchdown to start the game or

764
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 3: the second half. That's that they're not adjusting to whatever's

765
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: happening and doing anything with the break that they had.

766
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: So it makes you kind of worry about the bye week.

767
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 3: Are you going to use the bye week because you

768
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 3: don't start a game with you don't start the third

769
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: quarter well, And then on the flip side. Your defense

770
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: is giving up scores. They've allowed the teams to score

771
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: every single time to start third quarter. I'm sorry to

772
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: start the game and most of the time to start

773
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: the third quarter. So that's not good at all. And

774
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 3: that's and that put that on the coaches. I put

775
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 3: that on somewhat the players. It's not just the coaches,

776
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: but it's the coaches dropped to get them prepared to

777
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 3: play the game. And if dak is for three times

778
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: now this year said they're not practicing well enough, that's

779
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 3: on the coaches that they've got to figure that out

780
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,600

807
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 3: The next callers here back here on Cowboys storyline. We've

808
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: got Gavin. He's in Oklahoma City. Gavin, what's up?

809
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: Good? How are you?

810
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 17: I'm all right? I like what you was saying yesterday

811
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 17: when you were talking about it, you can to give

812
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 17: the defense a pass, but what's the excuse for the offense?

813
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 17: Because to me, if the offense goes out like everybody

814
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 17: thinks they're going to do, it does well against the

815
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 17: questionable Detroit defense, then when you don't play complimentary balls,

816
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 17: Michael McCarthy likes to say, things just roll downhill. And

817
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 17: what the injuries we had on defense, we can't just

818
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 17: leave them there on the field all the time. It

819
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 17: just it just made the game unbearable. Obviously, I have

820
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 17: one question for you. I think as a team that

821
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 17: starts as a coaching issue, everybody might not agree with that.

822
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 17: But my question to you is, what do you think

823
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 17: about possibly Mike McCarthy giving up the play calling duties.

824
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 17: I just don't see the creativity. I don't think they're

825
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 17: getting CD in the slot enough. I don't think I

826
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 17: don't think guys on both sides of the bar are

827
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 17: being put in positions to execute, because it's starts with

828
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 17: the positioning of the players, and that's all I got.

829
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 3: I think it's got to be something like that. I mean,

830
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: it needs to be some kind of change. And I'm

831
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: not saying that they've got better play callers there. I

832
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: mean because I I I wouldn't know that. I wouldn't

833
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 3: know if Schottenheimer or Scott Tolzene or you know who's

834
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks coach. I'm not I'm not saying that hey

835
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 3: do that. They'll they'll be better than what you have.

836
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 3: But you you've got to fix You've got to, you know,

837
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: figure that out. Like like I said, I mean that

838
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 3: they're not they're not scoring to start the I mean,

839
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 3: everybody does that other than the Cowboys, you know, I

840
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 3: mean teams even Cleveland.

841
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: They didn't.

842
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 3: They didn't look very good, you know, the whole game,

843
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 3: but that first drive they had some things. Some thing's

844
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: going the same with the Giants. The Giants moved the

845
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: ball pretty well. You know, you see, you see your

846
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: best stuff. And why don't you seeing that with the Cowboys?

847
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 3: Why don't the Cowboys doing that in their first drive?

848
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: And so and they continue to take the ball. That's

849
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 3: the thing. I mean, if you're not gonna or a touchdown,

850
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 3: then then why why take the ball and punt and

851
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 3: put them in position here or or just go get

852
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 3: a field goal? I mean, if anything, I think I

853
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: think they they've got to be that. They've got to

854
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 3: start just uh deferring. I mean, if they're winning these tosses,

855
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's and they've won a lot of them.

856
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 3: That's the thing. I mean, you'll probably start losing some

857
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 3: of these coin tosses. But they need to they need

858
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 3: to start the ball in the third quarter, I mean

859
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 3: to me. But you know, whatever it is, they they

860
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 3: they're they're that's not their biggest issue. It's not that

861
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 3: this week runs way deeper than that. But play calling, Yeah,

862
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean I think if if there's if there's some

863
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 3: tweaks to be made, those are some of the things

864
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 3: that's usually where it starts. It starts with play calling duties,

865
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 3: you know, moving a guy from the box to the

866
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 3: field or something like that. And then it's usually a

867
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 3: coordinator change and then head coaching change. I mean that's

868
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: kind of the way it works when and if you're

869
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 3: making in you know, in season moves like that.

870
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 2: So this is the time to do it. I know

871
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 2: tensions are high. I get it.

872
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: I mean I hear it from you guys. I know

873
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 3: I have the same thing. You hear it over and over,

874
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 3: you know, and and I and I get it. I mean,

875
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 3: that's that's that's part of the show. That's what that's

876
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: what I signed up for. So you guys that have

877
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 3: called and said thanks for doing that. Cool but and

878
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate you saying that, But that's that's what I've

879
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 3: signed up for. I've signed up for for Robin Vegas

880
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 3: to bring it and and and all you guys. And

881
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 3: that's that's and and you guys do that's what makes

882
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 3: this show what it is. And we don't always agree,

883
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 3: we don't have to agree, and that's that's certainly fine.

884
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: But but you know, that's it's it's a good, healthy show,

885
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 3: I think. And this is in an unhealthy time for

886
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 3: this team right now. This is this is bad. I mean,

887
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 3: there's teams in the league and again I'm not saying

888
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 3: this like be grateful, Okay. What I'm saying is there

889
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: are a lot of teams in the league that are

890
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 3: three and three and happy to be three and three,

891
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: happy to be two and four right in the middle

892
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 3: of things. And the sky is falling on the Cowboys

893
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 3: at three and three because of how they're playing. And

894
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: I'm saying rightfully, so I'm not I'm not telling you

895
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 3: guys be grateful for what you have. You can be

896
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 3: worried because this is this is worrisome, you know. I mean,

897
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 3: this isn't up and down this roller coaster ride like

898
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: I always talk about. Is this is a jerky one.

899
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 3: I mean, this is one where you don't feel good

900
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: at all, and even even the fun times, you don't

901
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: feel good. Even the winds have been have been, there's

902
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 3: been no fingernails left, you know, for the Pittsburgh and

903
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 3: Giants game.

904
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: And so I get it.

905
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 3: Let's go to another caller here, probably our last one,

906
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 3: Leon and Sarasota, Florida.

907
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 11: Hey, how you doing?

908
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: What's up? Man?

909
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 11: I just have only two things. I don't feel like

910
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 11: it's a coaching issue. The coaches can only do so much.

911
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 11: They can only teach them so much. They can only

912
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 11: go through drills so much, and go through walk throughs

913
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 11: and play so much. I feel like it's up to

914
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 11: the players to execute what the what the coaches are

915
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 11: giving them to do. Also, I just wanted to know

916
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 11: what what what's what's the hold up with and what

917
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 11: is the deal with holding Dalvin Cook back? When we

918
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 11: see that nothing's really happening with the run game with

919
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 11: everybody else so why not give him a chance?

920
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, thank you. You know, I wish I

921
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 3: knew the Dalvin Cook situation. I don't know it, and

922
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 3: I don't understand why. I think if he doesn't play

923
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: this week against the forty nine ers, then I would

924
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 3: let him go.

925
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: I mean I would, I would not keep him. I mean,

926
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

927
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 3: You're not developing him, so why why why waste the

928
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: practice squad spot for somebody? I mean, you're not going

929
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 3: to continue to develop him just to stash him for

930
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 3: if you in case you need him, because you need

931
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 3: him now. I mean, I don't know what they think

932
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 3: they don't need they need him now. The running game

933
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: is the worst in the league, and it's putting them

934
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 3: behind the chains. They can't keep up because they can't

935
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 3: be balanced. And then once they start to throw the ball,

936
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 3: then everyone knows they're throwing it and everyone knows who

937
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 3: they're throwing it too. So like that's that's the problem.

938
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 3: You've got to be able to offset that. It's first

939
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: down from the from the twelve yard line, you've got

940
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 3: to be able to get a four or five yards,

941
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 3: not minus one, like like what happened with Zeke and

942
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 3: so dat old Zeke, it's it's it was okay against Pittsburgh,

943
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 3: you know, I mean everyone said, oh, well they found it.

944
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 3: Eighty seven yards rushing, eighty seven yards rushing, and we're

945
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: like Rico. Rico's the guy, you know, I mean it's

946
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 3: Emmitt had eighty seven in the first half. Sometimes I

947
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 3: know he's on Emmitt Smith, but I'm just saying, like, like,

948
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 3: let's let's not because it's been so bad, we kind

949
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 3: of think, well, now it's better. Eighty seven yards rushing

950
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 3: for a game is not. Is not better. It's not

951
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 3: it's not the standard. So they've got to figure this out.

952
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 3: And if Dalvin Cook he says he's ready, he's been there,

953
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 3: he's he's done it in the league before. He should

954
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 3: be fresh man. If he's not playing against the forty

955
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: nine ers, I I don't understand. I will never understand

956
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 3: that then unless he if he can, because if you

957
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: can't get himself ready to go, then that's my point.

958
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 3: What what what is he still doing here?

959
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 5: Like?

960
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: What are they?

961
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 3: You know, he's a veteran, he's played in this league

962
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 3: long enough, he's been in Pro Bowls. He should be

963
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 3: ready to go. And I think he will be and

964
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 3: they need him. So you add those things together, and

965
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 3: it doesn't really make sense at all why he's not

966
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 3: He's not playing, So this is the time to do it.

967
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 3: Though I remember them saying short week is not the week,

968
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 3: you know, the Giants week where short week, don't put

969
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook out there. Well, this is the longest week

970
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: you'll have of the season. This is two full weeks. Uh,

971
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 3: he should be ready to go. And and and lord

972
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 3: knows the Cowboys need some kind of jolt. Uh maybe

973
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 3: you know, combination of having him out there, having some

974
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 3: of the defenders back. You know, you're talking about two

975
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: guys that were sitting there on the Defensive Player of

976
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: the Year award for the NFL Honors. Two guys they

977
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 3: didn't win it. Miles Garrett won it, but the other

978
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 3: two Deron Bland, Micah Parsons. They were both there. They're

979
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 3: both finalists. That both should be coming back. That that

980
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 3: that should help this defense. And in more ways than one,

981
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: Eric Kendricks, if he can come back, you can get

982
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 3: guy on every level of your defense back. That certainly

983
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 3: will help. And obviously the Cowboys need all of that.

984
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 3: So all right, we got one more show this week.

985
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 3: We'll do a show on Wednesday, might have a special guest.

986
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 3: Still working on that, just to kind of see what

987
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: will happen here. I know there's a mix ups on

988
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 3: all the other shows. I've been on the break today,

989
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 3: I'll be on the Break also on on Wednesday, so

990
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 3: we'll be able to kind of have some fun a

991
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 3: little bit and mix some different lineups up, but the

992
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 3: storyline for the most part on Wednesday will stay the same.

993
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: All Right, Guys, appreciate the calls. Hanging there.

994
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 3: Like I said yesterday, hanging there. It's gonna get better here.

995
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 3: At some point. Give this team up. You know they'll

996
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 3: they'll get a break they need one, and maybe they

997
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 3: can come back and try to figure out the answers

998
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 3: to turn this thing around.

999
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 2: All right.

1000
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,880
