19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: even four or five years.

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,240

Speaker 4: Look.

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 5: Every player within the Cowboys organization circled this week when

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 5: the schedules came out and it used to be the

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 5: same way.

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: It was the same way with us back in the day.

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 5: Sometimes you overlook other games thinking, Okay, those are winnable games.

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, you get.

34
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 5: The schedule, you look at it and you look at

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 5: every game and go, that's a winnable game. That's winnable. Ooh,

36
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 5: that one's gonna be tough. That's gonna be a tight one.

37
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: And there's gonna be a ton of notoriety around this

38
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 5: big game and it's a makeup game for the Cowboys.

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: So to get back, did you guys have some Arizona

40
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: games back in the day.

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 5: Absolutely? Absolutely. I can't remember what week it was. In

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 5: ninety two was the Super Bowl championship year. I think

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 5: we went thirteen and three that year and the Rams

44
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: came in town and they were terrible and I can't

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: tell you how bad I mean that game was. It

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 5: was a close game, but the unexpected was they stayed

47
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 5: with you know, they kept on the ball, just kept

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: rolling their way for four straight quarters and they ended

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 5: up winning that game, man, And it was it was

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 5: a tough one.

51
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: It was a tough loss for.

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: My dad got me tickets to that game. It's like, yes, Rams,

53
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: and then a guy named Cleveland.

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: Gary Gary, Cleveland, dude had a day.

55
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: Because but but yeah, that was in every Super Bowl

56
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: year kind of had that had a game like that

57
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: now most time later in the year. But all right,

58
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,920

Speaker 6: say thank you to Nick because you were the voice

66
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 6: of reason last week. I was down on my Cowboys,

67
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 6: you know, and you described how the emotional roller coaster

68
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 6: of being a Cowboys fan, right, That's exactly what you said,

69
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 6: and you know, put everything in perspective for me, you

70
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 6: know what. You know, I have the tattoo on my arm,

71
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 6: you know, and that's why I love my team. And

72
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 6: I just wanted to say thank you for for you know,

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 6: putting me in my place and making me you know. Yeah, yeah, Albert,

00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, all right, Yes, I do mister Woodson, I

75
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 6: had a front roll. See I actually grew up in Tucson,

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 6: so not part from Arizona State, you know, the city before.

77
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: Who was your favorite team to play and did you

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 6: you know game plan in your head just think all right,

79
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 6: you know I'm gonna I'm gonna face this team and

80
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 6: I'm gonna stand out. So thank you very much, Go Cowboys.

81
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: Thank you.

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's great question, Albert I would say this week,

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 5: I would say the forty nine ers because we had

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 5: listening to ninety two, ninety three and that the early nineties.

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 5: They were they were our match. They were the ones

86
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 5: that we evenly matched up with, and they had some

87
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 5: big time players Steve Youngs and Jerry Rice's you know,

88
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 5: just you know, and had a strong defense on the

89
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 5: other side as well.

90
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: Ken Norton ended up be coming over there in ninety three.

91
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: But it was an.

92
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 5: Evenly matched game and it was that that game that

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 5: you knew was gonna go down the fourth quarter. Yeah,

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 5: we were watching them the entire season on how they were,

95
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: how they were looking, even though they were in the

96
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: NFC West and we were doing our thing in the

97
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: NFC East. But you knew it was going to come

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 5: that head to hit battle, and that's the game that

99
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 5: you better be on point.

100
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: You better be on point, you better have the right.

101
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: Mentality going in there, and it's gonna be a slug fest.

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: You know, this is forty nine ers cowboys, like like

103
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: you said, I this is this is a big battle.

104
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: It also reminds me a little bit of Philly Philadelphia

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: early when you got there, Na, it was almost like

106
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: you had to get over that hump mentally. And I

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: kind of wonder if this team thinks that way about

108
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, like you have to get over

109
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: the hump. Absolutely the team that's not you all.

110
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and it's and it's again, it's not just last

111
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 5: year was the you know, the year before as well.

112
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: I mean this is forty nine has been a thorn

113
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: on this team's side.

114
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 5: And you can't tell me a guy like Dak Prescott,

115
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: who's seen this defense multiple times is not thinking, Hey,

116
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: I gotta get over the hump here and they are.

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 4: Look, there's three teams.

118
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 5: I look at this this the NFC, and I think

119
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: there's three teams that I can just firmly look at

120
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 5: right now and say, Okay, this is going to be

121
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 5: a game. Philly's going to be a game. San fran

122
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 5: is going to be a definite game. And then and

123
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 5: the Cowboys are a team that that matches up with

124
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 5: everybody across the league.

125
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 3: As well, those three teams, and they have been really

126
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: for the last couple of years. All right, Speaking of Pennsylvania,

127
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: we're gonna go to the call here, Jack in Pennsylvania,

00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 7: then Darren, if you want to answer the question for

161
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 7: the defense, that would be go for it.

162
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 9: Great.

163
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 7: So offensively, I know we struggled to run the ball

164
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 7: against San Francisco in the playoff game. I know a

165
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 7: lot of that had to do with Hollard, you know,

166
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 7: having that terrible injury. But so I wanted to know, like,

167
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 7: from your point of view, are some ways we can

168
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 7: scheme some things to run the ball more effectively open

169
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 7: things up for Dak on that side of thing right,

170
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 7: and defensively, like they have speed on offense, like San

171
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 7: Francisco has Debo, they have Ayu, they have McCaffrey. So, Darren, like,

172
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 7: what are some things we can do maybe with like

173
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 7: j Ron Curse and specifically scheming him, whether it's maybe

174
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 7: him just following Debo wherever he goes, or following Au

175
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 7: wherever he goes, or just helping guys out. And one

176
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 7: last thing yesterday, Uh, you asked who the most underrated

177
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 7: Cowboy player is?

178
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,559
Speaker 9: Huh?

179
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 7: And my answer to that right now, he's on the team.

180
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 7: Right now. I love Van Rush and I think he

181
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 7: gets a lot of hate that's unwarranted.

182
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: All right.

183
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 7: I really think he makes the defense go and he's

184
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 7: really the quarterback for the defense because there's a very

185
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 7: noticeable difference in that defense when he's not in the lineup.

186
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 10: But I'll hang up, all right, thanks, thanks.

187
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 7: For taking my call than Cowboy.

188
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jack. All right, let's go to your defense question.

189
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: What are some of the things they can do to stop.

190
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 5: Jack just asked a tough question. Look, I would say, look, defensively,

191
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 5: you gotta start with Christian McCaffery. You have to stop

192
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: the run.

193
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's so that's the whole thing.

194
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 5: When you when you look at film and you start

195
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: putting in the game plan. You can't let the forty

196
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 5: nine ers get you in third and third and three,

197
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 5: third and two consistently.

198
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: So what does that do?

199
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 5: You have to stop caffrey not only in running game,

200
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 5: but the quick screen game you've made. Make sure he

201
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 5: doesn't become the deciding factor. Deebo is gonna make get

202
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 5: some plays, are gonna make some plays for.

203
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 4: You as well.

204
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 5: It's late on those, but there's gonna be some guys

205
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 5: that they're gonna have matchup problems with. But McCaffrey cannot

206
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: be the guy that consistently beats you. I'm putting it

207
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 5: on the quarterback. Make the quarterback beat you in this game.

208
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: Do you know who's leading the NFL in yards on

209
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: first down?

210
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: That would be Christian McCaffrey.

211
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, seven point one yard.

212
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I can see that it's.

213
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: Not just thirty three. It sounds like it's second three

214
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: a lot of the time. So yeah, all right, let's

215
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: go to Travis in San Antonio. Travis, you're the next caller.

216
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 11: How you doing, Nick?

217
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: How you doing? You're on with Darren Woodson as well.

218
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 11: Awesome. Well, I just had a couple of things. I

219
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 11: watched Talking Cowboys yesterday and Isaiah was talking about the

220
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 11: last two meetings we've been physically outplayed, and I didn't

221
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 11: really remember that from the last game. So I went

222
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 11: back and watched the whole game. Unfortunately, but I went home,

223
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 11: I wouldn't watch it, and I don't feel like the

224
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 11: first game when they came to Dallas, we definitely got

225
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 11: outplayed physically, but I went and watched, and I don't

226
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 11: feel like that second game in San fran we got

227
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 11: physically outplayed. I mean we had Rock thirty with happy feet,

228
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 11: he was forcing throws, he was he was also you know,

229
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 11: throwing stuff out of bounds, and so I don't really

230
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 11: feel like the second game we got outplayed is physically

231
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 11: at least, so I'm not worried about that. And then

232
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 11: I also I listened to a shot He's presser yesterday

233
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 11: and he was talking about they do a checkdown drill

234
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 11: and practice like every day and Mike with hard to

235
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 11: gives that kind of a code word to make sure

236
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 11: he knows where his checkdowns are. And I went back

237
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 11: and watched the game just just because I was already

238
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 11: watching it went back and with the two picks he

239
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 11: had and the first pick he had, it was like

240
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 11: a fifteen yard come back to Gallup where he didn't

241
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 11: come back on it, but he had Zeke wide open

242
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 11: the flat. They had a six man rush in five

243
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 11: and coverage, nobody was guarding seat and it would have

244
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 11: been with Nora trying to hit him from a seven

245
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 11: yard head start. So and it was third and nine.

246
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 11: So that's kind of like one of those plays where

247
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 11: you look at it and you go, I know he

248
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 11: was trying to make a play on third and nine,

249
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 11: but if you take that checkdown, I'll take Zeke against

250
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 11: or running back against the cornerbacks to get third and nine,

251
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 11: and if not, you're punning it. Just play towards that defense.

252
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 11: So I think this week the key to it. I'm

253
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 11: glad that Dak is kind of pissed off. I don't

254
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 11: mind that, but I do want him to this week

255
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 11: more than any other week, remember where his checkdowns are

256
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 11: and just take what Sam Frank gives you and play

257
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 11: to the defense. And it's great. It's an honor to

258
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 11: be out with Darren, and I just want to see

259
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 11: what you guys think a great weekend.

260
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: These guys are watching. These guys are focused. I mean,

261
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: like you know, I know, if if I was a

262
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 3: fan and I had a chance to talk to a

263
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame safety because I'm just gonna call you that,

264
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: I would ask a question for Darren Woodson. But but

265
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 3: these these guys are focused on.

266
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, what they are man, and that's you know, it's

267
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 5: a great analysis as power as you know, you know,

268
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: given you know, Dak taking what the defense is given

269
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 5: them the dump offs or if they're there, take those

270
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 5: dump off, don't try to stretch it and force the

271
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: ball in because you still have a defense behind. You know,

272
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to play field position in this game

273
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 5: as well. It's just not a game that they're just

274
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: gonna run down you just move the ball down the field.

275
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: They're gonna have some some laughses. You gotta give Sam

276
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 5: France some credit. Bosa is gonna be coming off the edge.

277
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 5: They've got some guys on defense they are gonna make

278
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 5: there that are gonna make plays. But you have to

279
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 5: be able to play all three phases to win this

280
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: football game. And and and defensively again, to me, it

281
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 5: takes you back to the basics. Right, if the balls

282
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 5: out in the flat, mccaffe is out there, you got

283
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 5: to get them on the ground. The corner's got to tackle,

284
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 5: the linebackers got to tackle in space. Like it's just

285
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 5: the most basic things that you could do or what's

286
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 5: gonna help help you win that game. Because these two

287
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 5: teams are, like we said earlier, they're evenly matched teams.

288
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: So it's going to be you know a lot about

289
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 5: field position in this game.

290
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: You got guys that just want to go get the quarterback. Yeah,

291
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: obviously it starts with Micah. So the screen game seems

292
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: like it could be really how do you as a

293
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: defensive player, how do you have that aggressiveness to go

294
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 3: get the ball? But also the.

295
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 5: Discipline understanding situations, the understanding situation And this is where

296
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 5: film watching comes in hand, because you know, if you

297
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 5: can really get the tempo and a really good grasp

298
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 5: of when they like to run screens, maybe it's second

299
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 5: and ten, or maybe it's when they're backed up first

300
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: and you know they get they get a penalty and

301
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 5: it's first and fifteen when you can figure that out,

302
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 5: and then knowing to count the quarterback's catence as well, Right,

303
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: there's there's a lot of little nuances that you can

304
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: pick up in watching what they do and what they

305
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: did last year and what they're doing this this season

306
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: to pick up on things. But it's gonna be again.

307
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 5: The game is so evenly mashed. I can remember and

308
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 5: I can take you back. I can remember playing San

309
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 5: Francisco and we used to order in pizza during the

310
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: playoffs and watch film as an entire defense up until

311
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 5: nine o'clock, ten o'clock at night. These are Super Bowl

312
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: championship teams, right, so we kind of knew what we

313
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 5: were getting on on Sunday when the game time came.

314
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: Up, just of the week of the forty week.

315
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 5: Not only I'm not talking about I'm talking about in

316
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 5: the playoffs altogether. In the playoffs during the regular season,

317
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 5: now you know, we we picked things up and we

318
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 5: figure things out as far as work, you know, watching

319
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 5: some extra film. But it's in these big games when

320
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 5: you know that these two teams are going to be

321
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 5: the playoff teams and you got to figure out the

322
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: little nuances about each other. And it's and it's the

323
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 5: film work leading up to that game that really sets.

324
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: The sets the pace.

325
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: Who pays for that pizza.

326
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 5: Uh the defensive player that makes the most money. Seriously

327
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: really oh yeah, absolutely whoever that is.

328
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: Early on.

329
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: It was like, but the Ken Norton's of the world. Man,

330
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 4: there are certain guys that absolutely.

331
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely eating pizza.

332
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, pizza, trust men.

00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.

336
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: Gonna be that's gonna be a good The game State

337
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: I think is playing better. We watch a game.

338
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 5: I'm not how much because I know when I see

339
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 5: Diane he's gonna talk a little trash on the on

340
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 5: the our field, of course, So I gotta, you know,

341
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 5: be ready.

342
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Can't wait to see the picks from that.

343
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: All right, back to the Throne line. A few more

344
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: minutes with Darren here, Curtis and Oklahoma Curtis, what's up?

345
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: You got it through?

346
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 12: Hey, good morning man, good morning. So glad to have

347
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 12: Darren on the show. That's such an honor for us

348
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 12: to get to have access to him and call in

349
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 12: and hear what he's got to say. So I appreciate that.

350
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 12: I'm just I'm so excited for this matchup. You know,

351
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 12: as Dak Prescott will say.

352
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 9: Here we go.

353
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.

354
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 12: And you know I've called in and I've said it

355
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 12: before about this being an opportunity to help you in

356
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 12: the postseason as far as positioning. You know San Francisco

357
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 12: probably won't get a ton of losses, so you know

358
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 12: you could hopefully maybe get somebody to beat them up

359
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 12: or possibly beat them in the postseason, try to get

360
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 12: home field advantage. But with that being said, man, I

361
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 12: think you if Tyron Smith is not one hundred percent,

362
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 12: I think you said him. I think it's more important

363
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 12: to have him in the Philly games and down the

364
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 12: stretch and in the playoffs. So if he's got anything

365
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 12: you know that he needs to sit for, just go

366
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 12: ahead and sit him. Trust in a dooga, just roll

367
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 12: the dice with that. I think you've said before like

368
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 12: something of our team has to be elite, you know,

369
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 12: to get where we want to go, and this week

370
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 12: it's got to be the pass rush. I was watching

371
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 12: some of the Rock Party play a little bit and

372
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 12: he's had four fumbles this year, so I think that's

373
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 12: about one a game, and I've seen a couple of

374
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 12: times where he threw the ball and kind of like

375
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 12: just turns away as he's throwing. And unfortunately one of

376
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 12: them was for you know, a dime touchdown, so it's

377
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 12: not necessarily that, but I don't think he's faced you know,

378
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 12: a pass rush kind of like we got. So that's

379
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 12: all I got, man. I'll let you guys get back

380
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 12: to other callers and stuff like that.

381
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 6: I appreciate it.

382
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 12: You guys have a great day.

383
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, Curtis. I will say this, I think he's

384
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: recovering those fumbles, or at least most of them, because

385
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: I think they only have one turnover and games right now. Yeah,

386
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: to take care of their taking care of the football.

387
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 5: But man, but you know, you kind of know what

388
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 5: you're getting with a Kyle Sanahan team, right.

389
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: They like a lot of the play action. I'll s

390
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 4: they'll screen you here and there.

391
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 5: Uh, they'll take their shots when they get inside, you

392
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: know between the forties.

393
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of little.

394
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 5: Things, the little answers that that you can kind of

395
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 5: pick up on with with Shanahan. But what they don't

396
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 5: do a lot is they don't turn the ball over.

397
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 4: Now, I mean, they.

398
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 5: Know where that party's gonna know where he wants to

399
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 5: go with the football.

400
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: It's amazing what he's done and just a still a

401
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 3: young player. I mean that just perfect for their for

402
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: their system. All right, let's go to another caller here,

403
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 3: Don and san Antonio. Don, you're on with Darren Woodson.

404
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 8: Whatdy buddy? Hey Don, I was so sad when you're

405
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 8: on the first time and I couldn't get through to

406
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 8: say how important you are to me and the Cowboys.

407
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 4: Thank you.

408
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 8: I called the show second day, Don Nick, your show

409
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 8: keeps growing, your.

410
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 9: Smooth thank you.

411
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 8: You've got or got over those jitters you had first started.

412
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was hot. Maybe it was just hot out

413
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 3: there in Austin Ard. I don't know.

414
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 8: No, well, I'm talking about when you were in the

415
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 8: studio first started taking calls.

416
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably, I feel I feel it feels better.

417
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 4: But slowed down.

418
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, game has slowed down, you know, as Parcel says,

419
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 3: knowledge is confidence. Confidence lets you play fast. So I

420
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: was a little too jitterating. I don't know. It might

421
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 3: have been those drinks I've been drinking. What's up?

422
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 4: What do you got?

423
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 8: Well, A couple of things. Number One, I have all

424
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 8: the topics in the world, and the Cowboys. I think

425
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 8: it's going to be a great year. I agreed with

426
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 8: Nate when I heard him yesterday say that this isn't

427
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 8: a test, it's a challenge. I didn't think of it

428
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 8: that way till he said it. But I agree one

429
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 8: hundred percent. The question I have is as a fan

430
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 8: twenty six years ago, I went to the Hall of

431
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 8: Fame with my son, he was twelve at the time,

432
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 8: and going through there. If our Cowboys were the Steelers

433
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 8: or the Bears or the Giants, we would have so

434
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 8: many more people in the Hall. What can we do

435
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 8: as fans to get Woody in there, to get Nate

436
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 8: in there, to get Everson in there, the people that

437
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 8: are being slided.

438
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the problem is there's just not

439
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: things done. I mean there's not something that fans can do.

440
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you know this more than anything.

441
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: You've been really close to the process. I mean, it's

442
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: not a fans thing. It's a Hall of Fame voting committee.

443
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: And I'll say this. I know you can't say this.

444
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 3: I'll say this. I think it needs to change, I

445
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: really do. I think they need to get more people involved.

446
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: The baseball I think has eight hundred voters, and I

447
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 3: think the NFL has like forty or fifty. I think

448
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 3: it needs to change. I think they need to have

449
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: more players involved in the voting process. The players know

450
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: who a Hall of Famers are, and so it just

451
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: seems like it's a bias. You got these guys that

452
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 3: have to stand up in front of these people, and

453
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't love the process, but I

454
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: don't think as anything fans can do.

455
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 4: I'll accuse myself from that.

456
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and that's what I'm saying. I think

457
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 3: I think the way it's going, though, I will say

458
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: this the trend. There are safeties that have been getting in. Yeah,

459
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 3: they're they're getting in, and I think it's in order.

460
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 3: Charles Haley had to deal with this with pass rushers

461
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: put it like four or five years he got in. Yeah,

462
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: and I think I think you're going to get in

463
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: as well.

464
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think so.

465
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 5: I think it's at some point, and you just said it, Nick,

466
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 5: I think they finally recognize that the safety position was

467
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 5: an important position, and over time that you start to

468
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 5: see guys go in. But again, you know, there's not

469
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: much the fans can do, man, And I guess got

470
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 5: to wait it out and figure out.

471
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 4: Hey, if it's my time.

472
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, well and there's other things too. When people say, well,

473
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 3: you know, he's got to get on TV, got to

474
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: be you, got to be visible, got to show that

475
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: you're you know, like TV. You did thirteen years of that.

476
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: You got to be a good guy. There's not a

477
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: better person in the locker room. So no, I don't

478
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: think that's the case. I think it's the safety position.

479
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: And I think people are starting to realize how important

480
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 3: it was, because there's guys in the Hall of Fame

481
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: right now that at safety that I don't think they were.

482
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: They were as good as you.

483
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 4: You know that, I don't.

484
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: You're not going to say that that's what makes him

485
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 3: so good? All right, we got to get him out

486
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: of here. Do you want one more caller?

487
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 4: You got let's get all right.

488
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 3: We got a guy Ronnie in New Jersey. Ronnie, you're

489
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: on with Darren Woodson. You made it through. What's up?

490
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: Ronnie?

491
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 8: Good morning?

492
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 13: Make good morning back. And I want to say I agree,

493
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 13: Darren is a Hall of Famer, whether he's in it

494
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 13: or not. Hopefully this is the year that he gets

495
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 13: in because to me, I seem it seems like there's

496
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 13: bias towards Cowboys players that were great in the nineties

497
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 13: because we had so many great players. Uh, Steelers had

498
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 13: a bunch of great players in their era, and they

499
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 13: all seem to got in have gotten in. I don't

500
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 13: know what's going on with the Cowboys.

501
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 8: So that's great.

502
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 9: Question for Darren.

503
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 13: I don't know how much he's watching the games or

504
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 13: this season or not, but it seems like our defense,

505
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 13: our defense this year looks a lot like the defense

506
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 13: we had back in the nineties. I don't know if

507
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 13: you get grease with it or not, but as in

508
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 13: mentally tough guys, we were bullies in the nineties, we

509
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 13: became bullies in the nineties. It seems to San Francisco

510
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 13: as the bullies these past few years. Who in our offense,

511
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 13: in our offense needs to become that mentally tough and

512
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 13: just guys that are bullies like we had Eric Williams

513
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 13: for for Eric Williams back in the day, and a

514
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 13: couple of guys on the offensive line. Who do you

515
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 13: has to step up and be that type of player

516
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 13: for us on offense because we have them on defense.

517
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you great question, that's really great.

518
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: So you had a lot of guys on the office

519
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 4: side of the ball that were just bullies.

520
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 2: Man.

521
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 5: I know Eric Williams is one that was, you know,

522
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 5: known just nasty all the time. But you know, Nate

523
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 5: was a dog man. He was a road grader and

524
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 5: didn't back down from anyone, would talk trash the entire game.

525
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 5: And then you had step who was perennial pro bowler

526
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 5: and Mark Twena, who you know, fight anybody in Gogan

527
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 5: coming off the bench and were just there were a

528
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 5: lot of guys that just were tough, hard nosed players.

529
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 5: And I think this is kind of the mentality that

530
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 5: I see on this defensive side of the ball, Like

531
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 5: you have some dogs on this defense man you really do.

532
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 5: Like Curse, I'm watching him on the sideline. He's going

533
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 5: he's going hard on people. And then you have you know,

534
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 5: Doron Bland who's just a player just and of course

535
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 5: Micah and you know d Lawman. They have some guys

536
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 5: that have attitudes that I that I really like. Offensively,

537
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 5: I don't want my quarterback to be that guy. No,

538
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 5: you don't need to be that guy, right. I want

539
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 5: him to play within himself, but play with confidence, you know,

540
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 5: dish the ball out, be a leader.

541
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 4: That's what I want in Dak.

542
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: But then on that offensive front, of course, you know

543
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: you got guys that you know, I'd love to see

544
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 5: a lot more tiring, to have a little attitude, pushing

545
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 5: guys around a little bit more. But you know, I

546
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 5: I like what I see as a as a whole, holistically,

547
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: as a team. This is a different year, this is

548
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 5: a different team. I think their mindset is there. I

549
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 5: think they're extremely confident in who they are and I'm

550
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 5: getting looked man. I think this is gonna be a

551
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: great matchup. I don't think that San Francis is gonna

552
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 5: go out there and bullyball them. Now, that's not happening, not.

553
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: With this team.

554
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: This team's gonna do. If there's gonna be any bullying,

555
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 5: this team's gonna be the bully.

556
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 3: There was the other day a guy hit somebody out

557
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: of bounds. It was one of those NFL games to

558
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 3: hit him out of bounds. Yes, I do it too.

559
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 3: Do that do that to Dak and uh watch Tyler

560
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: Smith and Terrence Steele, nice guys in the locker room.

561
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: They will fight out there. I guarantee those two guys

562
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 3: and Zach Martin the same. I mean I'm not saying

563
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 3: hold up, hold up, Bey honest fought more people than

564
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 3: anybody's training camp. Be honest, was mad at training camp.

565
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: So they got guys that are ready to swing. They

566
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: have to. All right, we're gonna take a break, man.

567
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: We went a little bit longer than we needed to.

568
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 3: Be right back though. Sorry for the guys that didn't

569
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 3: get in to talk to Darren, but still stay on

608
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: had Darren Woodson on the line, or actually in studio

609
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: now on the line. He was here in studio for

610
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: twenty five minutes or so. Got a chance to talk

611
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: to a few callers. Feel bad for the ones that

612
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 3: are trying to get in couldn't talk to Darren. He

613
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: literally had to run. When I say he had to run,

614
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: he was running off to his He's a lot of

615
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: business things going on. He actually said that today is

616
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 3: game day for him for some of the things he's

617
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: got going on with his business. He said, this is

618
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 3: like a game day for me. He named off two

619
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: or three things that he had going on, which makes

620
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: me wonder. That's how great he is. Makes me wonder

621
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: why you would say, yeah, sure, I got I got

Speaker 17: Okay, please do because but I said, we're we're really friends,

645
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 17: close friends with one of his family members. Okay, we're

646
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 17: we're in close contact with her all the time.

647
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: So all right, I yeah, you got a question for

648
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: the game.

649
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 4: You got what's question.

650
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 17: Yeah, I was just wondering so said that I missed him.

651
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 17: But anyways, how important do you think it is for

652
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 17: us to get that push in the middle, our defensive

653
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 17: tackles and stuff, to just put that pressure on uh

654
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 17: uh this weekend?

655
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah, that's huge. That's always big. Yeah, thanks

656
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: Irwin for the call. I think that that defensive line,

657
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: that that that that front when Hankins is doing his thing,

658
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: Osa Gallimore, Mazy, when they are controlling that middle. And

659
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: you can say this about a lot of football teams

660
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: on all levels, but when you when you are controlling

661
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: that line of scrimmage right there and forcing them to

662
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: do other things, because if you don't force them to

663
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: do anything different, they're gonna run the ball right down

664
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: the middle, right down your throat, and you can't do

665
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: anything about it, and nothing more to more than that.

666
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: So that's where it starts. It always starts in the trenches.

667
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: It's a cliche, because that's true. That's where it begins.

668
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: So I think it's very very important to kind of

669
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: make sure that that you can get after Purty. He's

670
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: going to try to dump it off, trying to dump

671
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: it off to McCaffrey try to make plays. Uh you know,

672
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: you know with debo going side to side. That's what

673
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: makes it so tough. It's that that they they actually

674
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: use the width of the field more than than a

675
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: lot of teams do, so they really stretch you in

676
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: that way. All right, let's go back to the phone lines.

677
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: Kurt in Arkansas, Kurt, what's up?

678
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 9: Hey, what's up? Is Darren still there?

679
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 8: He is not.

680
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 9: He had to run off all that stuts. I think

681
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 9: it's he hasn't gotten in the Hall of Fame yet.

682
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, we talked about that. He tried to. He

683
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: was biting his tongue on that one. He knows the process.

684
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: But but I can say it. I could say it

685
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: sucks because you know, the Cowboys are they've been around

686
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: sixty five years. He's the all time leading tackler. I mean,

687
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,239
Speaker 3: somebody's making attack. Nobody's made more than him.

688
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 9: That's right.

689
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: Well.

690
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 9: Also, I hope I hope the Cowboys uh go in

691
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 9: there playing mad Sunday.

692
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

693
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've been a fan since nineteen seventy when they

694
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 9: appeared in their first Super Bowl.

695
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know about playing that. I don't know

696
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: if that's good or not. Sometimes you you you don't,

697
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: you know, you don't focus on what you need to do.

698
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 3: You got to you gotta be have controlled chaos. That's

699
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: that's what's got to be.

700
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 9: Well, I don't mean, I don't mean losing focus, man,

701
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 9: I think being mean, bullying, mad.

702
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think I think

703
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: last couple of years have have bothered him, and especially

704
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: especially the way that last game went down, What what

705
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: San Francisco did before the game and all that crap

706
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: with the kicker. They haven't forgotten that, and those guys

707
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: are still there, They're still in the team. So you know,

708
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: the problem is is the two guys are the of

709
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 3: their best two players, you know, two of their best players,

710
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: and Williams, Trent Williams and d Samuel those are the

711
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: ones that were down there messing with Maha and the

712
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: kicking snap and all that kind of stuff. There will

713
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: be something in pregame that will go down. I can

714
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: promise you that there will be some John, there will

715
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: be some fighting.

716
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 9: That's hope goes down in deep tries to deed decamptate.

717
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: All right, all right, well thanks for the call, Kurt,

718
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 3: appreciate that. Yeah, Tolbert as your head hunter. Who would

719
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 3: have thought that one? Who would have thought he's the

720
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 3: guy that he wants to go down. But he had

721
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: a great play in the game. And you know, everybody

722
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: has a role. Everybody has a role in this game.

723
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: And it's it's gonna be plays like that that that

724
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: will determine the difference. Sometimes it's the guys you don't

725
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: even think about. You don't expect Jalen Tolbert as as

726
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 3: your gunner to go down and make plays like that.

727
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: Last year it was same same position. It was Kelvin

728
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: Joseph went down there and forced to fumble, they got

729
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: the ball. Imagine this Cowboys had some red zone issues,

730
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: couldn't score, had to kick a field goal that could

731
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: changed the whole game. There all right, Billy in Destin,

732
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: Florida is our next caller? Billy? What's up?

733
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 9: Yeah?

734
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 8: Him a first time caller.

735
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 9: I saw that.

736
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: I appreciate that.

737
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 9: I saw Randy Gregory got cut today by Denver.

738
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: I saw that just now.

739
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got a two you know, two part questions,

740
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 9: can you still play?

741
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 8: And would Jerry be interested in maybe resigning him?

742
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: Well, here's the question of that. Why did he get cut?

743
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: That's always the question. Same with Loo Collins when that

744
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: all happened to why did he get cut? They just

745
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: was just what last year they brought him in, gave

746
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: him a lot of money. Obviously different coaching staff now

747
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: I understand that Sean Payton now different different staff, maybe

748
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: trying to go a different direction. But what's what's the reason?

749
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: You know?

750
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean, is it? Is it football related?

751
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 5: Is it?

752
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 16: Is?

753
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 9: It?

754
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: Is it?

755
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: You know, he's been in the league now, it's almost

756
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 3: what nine years, ten years, hadn't played it hadn't played

757
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: nine ten years where the football? We know that, but

758
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't know all the circumstances behind it. And I

759
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 3: don't want to speculate, but you know, he could rush

760
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 3: their passer or he's a freak of a player. It's

761
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 3: just are there other issues going on? I don't know this,

762
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 3: I don't It seems suspicious that you would just cut

763
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 3: him like that, unless he's an injury prone whatever. I

764
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: don't know all the details. It's not a position of need.

765
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: I mean, Dante Fowler and and and Sam Williams are

766
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: trying to get on the field, you know, and make plays.

767
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: So I don't I don't know. You always will take

768
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 3: great football players, but that one is one where that

769
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like that would make sense because again I

770
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: don't know why he was he was cut. All right,

771
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: let's go to another question here. This is a text

772
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: question from Denver, Colorado. He said his favorite old school

773
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 3: player Troy Hambrick. Wow, that's that's bringing it back right there.

774
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 3: And also this question what offense positions are the cowb

775
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 3: is favored better than the forty nine ers, you know,

776
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 3: that's that's a that's a tough one. I mean, receiver,

777
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 3: I think I think they have better receivers. But you

778
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 3: wouldn't say that about the taiden end. You wouldn't say

779
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 3: that about the running back, offensive line. I don't think

780
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 3: you would say that. I think it's close, but it

781
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: just also depends on some injuries, and the Niners are

782
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: going through some injuries. And quarterback. Let's don't even go

783
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: there because because you know, Purty is playing at a

784
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: level that's perfect for what the forty nine ers are doing.

785
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: I don't think if you rank all the quarterbacks, I

786
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 3: don't know if you put Purdy over Dak and all that,

787
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 3: but that doesn't matter. That's why those rankings are ridiculous

788
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 3: to me because what Purdy is doing for the forty

789
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 3: nine ers is as good as what anybody's doing for

790
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 3: the other teams other than you know, maybe my homes

791
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 3: in Kansas City. But he's just absolutely perfect for what

792
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 3: they're trying to do. But yeah, I mean old school

793
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 3: player Troy hambrig I mean, got some funny stories for

794
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: about Troy. I don't know if I can share him

795
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 3: on the air, but uh, he was just he was

796
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 3: just a different guy. He was interesting in him and

797
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 3: his brother Darren Hambrick. But yeah, big old, big old's

798
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: strong u running back and replace them and you know,

799
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: and in two thousand and three and almost had a

800
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 3: thousand yards. I mean, he was he was productive, you know,

801
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: because he was a big guy that that could move. Uh.

802
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: In one game against Washington, he had like one hundred

803
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 3: and seventy five yards uh in that game against the

804
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 3: against the Redskins at the time. All right, let's go

805
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 3: to the caller Emilio in California.

806
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 10: Hey, Chris, I'd like to have two questions, one for

807
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 10: the defense and one for the offense. Defensively, do you

808
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 10: believed our Kurt will be able to get dee Bo

809
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 10: hit deepel pretty pretty well to where he's not.

810
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 7: Gonna want to go up the middle.

811
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 3: Uh huh?

812
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 10: And offensively, do you believed that gallop of fun coming

813
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 10: in on his own? And the last two games, I've

814
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 10: seen him say very stay better?

815
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 9: Yeah?

816
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 3: Is this for me? Or did you want Chris to

817
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: answer this? You call me Chris? So, I'm joking. Chris

818
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 3: is Chris our producer that answers? He could answer it.

819
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: Though he could answer, he can he can tell you

820
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: if Gallup's getting ready. He's down there on the field.

821
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 3: He almost got ran over by Mike Giseki the other day.

822
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: Good job kind of getting out of the way. Uh there, No,

823
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: he's got he's got a great view and he's been

824
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 3: doing this as long as me. So Uh yeah, Debo

825
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: and Gallup, thanks for the call me. Lee, I'm just

826
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 3: giving you a hard time. Uh deebo Is He's just

827
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 3: a freak. I mean, he's just now he's dealing with

828
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 3: some injuries now. I think knee and ribs. Uh that

829
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: he got hurt in week three. I played some last week.

830
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: He's day to day. Didn't have a great game, but

831
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 3: I mean I'm sure once that game kind of got

832
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 3: out of hand. You know, they're you know, the forty

833
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: nine ers probably unlike the Cowboys. They pulled some of

834
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: their guys. I'm joking, they pulled Zach Martin last week

835
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 3: of People are giving you know, the Cowboys some crap

836
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 3: for not pulling Micah Parsons there. That's probably easier said

837
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: than done to get him off the field. He's trying

838
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: to get sacks. But uh but yeah, they they Deeble

839
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: didn't do a whole lot. He will, he'll, he'll be ready,

840
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure for this game. Michael Gallup last couple of

841
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 3: games has been productive. And then that's how we kind

842
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: of thought would happen. You know, Let's see how teams

843
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: go and try to cover CD. They're not gonna let

844
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 3: CD just kill him, and and so because of that,

845
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 3: that's why you get three receivers that can play, because

846
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: you can't cover everyone. And if Ferguson continues to make

847
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 3: the catches over the middle and get first downs, that's

848
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 3: gonna open up guys like Cooks and Gallop even more

849
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 3: because those guys in the middle of the field. I mean,

850
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 3: that's what that's what fergus is doing. He's doing what

851
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz was doing the last couple of years. But

852
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: he actually a little bit better because he's down the

853
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: field a little bit more now. Schultz was, you know,

854
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 3: sure handed, and I thought he made some tough grabs

855
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: that he'd like to see Schoonmaker make. And the Hindershot

856
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: and and and Ferguson, they've all had some drops a

857
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: little bit, but really starting to see the light bulbs

858
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 3: coming on, I think for for Ferguson for sure. All right,

859
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 3: text question question from from Atlanta. This is Zach from Atlanta.

860
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: Can you talk about development of second year players the

861
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: Moone Clark, Sam Williams, Well, the Moon Clark is playing more.

862
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: You know, he's definitely he's starting, uh at linebacker. Uh,

863
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: he's learning from Layton. You know, he hasn't made those

864
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: wild plays that you thought that he would make. But

865
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 3: but I think that he's he's he's fine. I mean,

866
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: he's he's ahead of schedule from where you know he

867
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 3: was last year with that injury. So I think Damon

868
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 3: is on track to be a really good player. I

869
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: think the game will slow down more for him and

870
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: when it does, he'll speed up. Sam Williams probably the

871
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 3: same type of thing.

872
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 9: Uh.

873
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: His issue is he's just he's got a lot of

874
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: guys ahead of him. You know, he's just got guys,

875
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 3: you know, ahead of him because he could rush the passer,

876
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: and they have him in there rushing the passer. But

877
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 3: you know, to get on the field and play more

878
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 3: at that position, you have to be a three down player.

879
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 3: You have to you know, you have to under stand run, defense,

880
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 3: fits and all that stuff containment. So he's just got guys.

881
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: I mean, he's battling with Dante Faller, the third overall

882
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 3: pick in the draft in twenty fifteen, that he's trying

883
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 3: to get on the field too, and Dorrin's armstrong, Will

884
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 3: needs snaps and tank and of course Micah. So that's

885
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: kind of the issue with Sam. But I mean, I

886
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: think that they like him a lot. All right. Another caller,

887
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 3: Earl from Richmond, Virginia. Earl, what's up? Earl? Are you

888
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 3: with us? Dude? Jonathan? All right? How about Jonathan and Virginia? Jonathan?

889
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 3: What's up?

890
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 10: What's going on?

891
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: Nick?

892
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 3: How you doing good? How are you?

893
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 18: I'm doing well.

894
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 10: I have a couple questions asked.

895
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 8: Well.

896
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 18: The first thing is we matched up with the Niners

897
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 18: recently in the last couple of years.

898
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 17: Do you have any.

899
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 18: Nuggets or anything that comes to mind in the last

900
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 18: couple of times that we face them that you're going

901
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 18: to bring to light. Just interested in that. And then

902
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 18: the second point I had is for the Tony Tony

903
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 18: caller running back, it seems to me he's not as

904
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 18: as efficient as he was last year. I mean he

905
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 18: would get like ten carries and have like over one

906
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 18: hundred yards. Do you feel as though they're using him

907
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 18: in the same way? And is that kind of the

908
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 18: thought process that we should have had for like deep

909
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 18: when he was here to where the bell cow not

910
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 18: everyone could be Derrick Henry, but the bell cow running

911
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 18: back kind of has to get some of those carries

912
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 18: where you're not going to get much. Just to keep

913
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 18: him honest, like, is there anything you would want to.

914
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 10: Say to his effectiveness?

915
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, thank you. Let's let's start with with that

916
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: one with Pollard. Yeah, this is this is part of

917
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: the deal. Okay, this is this is it. When you

918
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 3: want to make him the lead back, that means he

919
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 3: takes the hits and he also he's on the field more.

920
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 3: He's also taking more hits. Don't just look at his

921
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: carries and say that's how many touches he has. He's

922
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: also getting hit by blitzing linebackers and safeties and taking

923
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 3: you know, more more of that that the pass protection

924
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 3: collisions as well. So you know he's not a big guy.

925
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 3: And and we we've we know this. Everyone can see this,

926
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: this situation with with and so you know it's it's

927
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 3: you know, your average is going to go down when

928
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 3: it's the third and one and you get two yards.

929
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 3: Great job, you did exactly what we want you to do.

930
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 3: You move the sticks. Your average got hurt as well.

931
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 3: That's what happened. Everyone was looking at Zeke's average all

932
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 3: the time, going well, it's not the same as Poller. Well,

933
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 3: of course not, because he's having to do the dirty work.

934
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: And that's what Pollard's having to do. He's having to

935
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 3: do the dirty work. And what does it knocks your

936
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 3: numbers down a little bit. He's got a lot more carries.

937
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's leading the NFL still he

938
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 3: was last week. I don't know if he's leading the

939
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 3: NFL anymore. But he's right up there in touches and

940
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 3: and you know, with an entire NFL, that's not something

941
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 3: he's used to so you can say that he's not

942
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 3: as effective. He's very effective. It's just that he's doing

943
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: it more and you're seeing his numbers kind of go

944
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 3: down a little bit. But I think, you know, that's

945
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 3: that's the nature of it. As for Nuggets on the

946
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 3: forty nine ers and all that, I mean, I just

947
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: think that they've been they've been better. You know, the

948
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 3: last couple of years. They came in, they walked into

949
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: AT and T Stadium with the Boone box two years ago.

950
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 3: They hit the Cowboys right in the mouth. They were

951
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 3: not intimidated at all. Didn't care about the Cowboys record.

952
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 3: They didn't care that they just snuck into the playoffs

953
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: the week before. They didn't care. They walked into AT

954
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: and T Stadium. They took it right to the Cowboys.

955
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 3: And it took Dallas a long time to kind of

956
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: wake up and finally figure out that this was a

957
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: playoff game. And and they you know, they got they

958
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: got beat, they got pushed around that second game. They

959
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 3: didn't the second game, to me, was the fact that

960
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 3: one team had a kicker that they trusted, the other

961
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 3: team had a kicker that nobody trusted, and that even himself.

962
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 3: That was the problem. Robbie Gold was hitting fit forty

963
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 3: to fifty yarders. Maher couldn't hit an extra point. Now,

964
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 3: he did hit a couple later in the game, very

965
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 3: short field goals, but that was really more of a

966
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: product of the Cowboys not scoring in the red zone.

967
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 3: I just thought it came down they didn't have enough playmakers.

968
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 3: But that but that pregame stuff, you know, that was

969
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: that was a problem. And they forty nine ers tried to,

970
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 3: you know, get into Maher's head and all that, and

971
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 3: I thought that was bush league that they did. And

972
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: you know, they did it on a time when a

973
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 3: lot of the Cowboy players were not on the field.

974
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 3: It's usually just kickers and return specialists. Trent Williams went

975
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: out there, Deebo went out there to try to send

976
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 3: a message. I'd like to see. I want to see

977
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 3: if they do that again. I want to see if

978
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: something like that happens. I know they pissed off a

979
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: lot of the Cowboy players, but it was kind of

980
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: too late at that at that point. But I trust me,

981
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: there will be some issues on the field there before

982
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 3: the game. It's gonna be some fireworks, probably long before

983
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 3: the kickoff. If we can get one more caller. We can't.

984
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: Earl in Richmond, Virginia. Earl, what's up?

985
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 19: Hey, Nick?

986
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 9: How you're doing?

987
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 15: Man?

988
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 19: I love your show and I love your insight on

989
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 19: Cowboys and the game.

990
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 3: Thank you appreciate that.

991
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 9: Yeah.

992
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 19: My question is that everybody is saying, how great thefore Niners.

993
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 19: They are good team, They're not a great team and

994
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 19: they're not unbeatable. So if the Cowboys do what they

995
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 19: do best, they will win, and it's time for them

996
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 19: to win.

997
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 4: Yep.

998
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 3: Well what do you think the Cowboys do best?

999
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 4: Is defense?

1000
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1001
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's what it looks like. They

1002
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 3: got to be focused though, they got to be focused.

1003
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 19: They've got to be focused.

1004
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 4: I do.

1005
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 6: I do agree with you.

1006
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 19: They are well defensive. Turn into a defensive team. Good offense,

1007
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 19: very good offense, very good offense. The their zone issue

1008
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 19: will be we will be strained up because San Francisco

1009
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 19: is not unbeatable.

1010
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well we're going to find out. I mean,

1011
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 3: that's that's the thing. I don't think anyone in this

1012
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 3: league and the way it's set up, is ever going

1013
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 3: to be unbeatable. I mean I think that that's that's

1014
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 3: the nature of the league. But I do think that

1015
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 3: that they are. I mean, they look great right now.

1016
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if you want to call anyone good, great, whatever.

1017
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: I think that the you know, the Cowboys have been

1018
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 3: great at times this year. The forty nine ers have

1019
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 3: been have been great. And you know, when it comes

1020
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 3: to this matchup, we talked about and focused. I mean,

1021
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 3: if you're not focused for this game, then you will

1022
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: never be focused. I mean, you're just not going to be.

1023
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 3: So they'll they'll be ready to go. It'll be it'll

1024
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna be physical, it's gonna be emotional, and and

1025
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 3: just who who can kind of withstand that? I mean,

1026
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: I think the crowd will be ridiculous. I mean, the

1027
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 3: Cowboy fans will be that. This is a regular season game,

1028
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 3: this has been on the schedule for a long time.

1029
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 3: The Cowboy fans will be out there. Uh that only

1030
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 3: intensifies matchups like this. So you'll, you'll it'll be emotional

1031
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: in the stands, It'll be emotional on the field before

1032
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 3: the game, during the game, all that. Who can handle that,

1033
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 3: Who withstands the pressure? Who can can can you know,

1034
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: focus in on all of these out outside talk all this.

1035
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: You know, this is a playoff type matchup and who

1036
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 3: can actually go in there and get the job done.

1037
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 3: And we'll find out. This is the greatest challenge the

1038
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 3: Cowboys have faced, you know, all year. We'll see if

1039
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: they're ready for it. But guess what, this is the

1040
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 3: best challenge that the forty nine ers have faced as well.

1041
00:46:58,320 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 3: I mean, and they know that. I mean, this is

1042
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 3: there's nothing you know, there's no there's no hiding that

1043
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are are a really good, good football team.

1044
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers right now look a little bit better,

1045
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 3: but that could change come Monday. I can't wait to

1046
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 3: talk about it. We'll talk about it in the next

1047
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 3: couple of days as well. For Darren Woodson, thank you

1048

Speaker 3: so much for coming by early on. He said he

1049

Speaker 3: can do it on a lot of Wednesdays, so baby
