Speaker 3: we doing today?
Speaker 1: Doing a little bit better? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Have you you got some sleep last night? Which is good?
Speaker 1: Got some sleep.
Speaker 3: That's first checkbox, right, the remaining.
Speaker 5: Check boxes or for the Cowboys to do so, I
Speaker 5: mean I did my part, I got some rest, right,
Speaker 5: and now we see if the Cowboys can finally turn
Speaker 5: a page over these past several weeks and do something
Speaker 5: in Atlanta. But before they go to Atlanta and do anything,
Speaker 5: they've really got to finish only what happened, uh in
Speaker 5: San Francisco, especially the third quarter. So I'm interested to hear,
Speaker 5: not not even interested. I can't wait to hear what
Speaker 5: fans of talking Cowboys and listeners and viewers call in
Speaker 5: and have to say, say it with your chest today?
Speaker 3: What would you like the fan question to be today?
Speaker 3: I was mulling over a couple of different ones.
Speaker 1: You know what, go ahead, I want to hear yours.
Speaker 6: No, I mean, considering what they're going through right now,
Speaker 6: we're going through the same thing. Absolutely, we're expecting a
Speaker 6: lot more from this team. I would say, at least
Speaker 6: what's the barometer?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 6: What do you want to see for the rest of
Speaker 6: the year. What is your crystal ball telling you for
Speaker 6: the rest of.
Speaker 3: This maybe like how have your expectations change?
Speaker 1: I like that, Yes, go with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was yours going to be.
Speaker 5: I'm it wasn't as good as what about well, I
Speaker 5: mean it was going to because it segues off of
Speaker 5: what we talked about yesterday, and it was another iteration
Speaker 5: of me talking about how confusing it is to not
Speaker 5: see Dak Prescott use his legs. And then we hear
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones talking one O five three the fan this morning,
Speaker 5: and Jerry literally said he would prefer not to see
Speaker 5: Dak take off and run. So I was going to
Speaker 5: ask fans which side of that fence? So you on,
Speaker 5: are you more on the takeoff and run deck and
Speaker 5: get and you know, try to get as many hours
Speaker 5: as you can to help this team win because they
Speaker 5: need every possible positive that can get.
Speaker 3: I'll give them both questions. Yeah, or on the Jerry
Speaker 3: Jones side to say, hey, it's just not worth it.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 3: And that's the thing in continuing with news and notes
Speaker 3: and Jerry being on the fan just a couple moments ago,
Speaker 3: but that was one of the number one takeaways I
Speaker 3: had was he basically said, even through like a Crackley
Speaker 3: phone line and phone call, he said, I don't have
Speaker 3: it in big white letters at the Star in Frisco,
Speaker 3: but I don't necessarily want him running the football.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't like it.
Speaker 5: I mean he said it in a lot of words,
Speaker 5: but lots of them all right, But the bottom line
Speaker 5: of what he was saying was that because of the risk,
Speaker 5: he doesn't feel like it's worth seeing Dak Prescott use
Speaker 5: his legs. And I am on the other side of that,
Speaker 5: because this is a game of risk. And like I
Speaker 5: said here and told Isaiah outside of the irs he'll
Speaker 5: be back after showing out on Good Morning Football, I
Speaker 5: told him there's as much, if not more risk for
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott to sit in the pocket right now because
Speaker 5: of the pressure that he's under and the drest that
Speaker 5: he's under as his offensive line struggles to consistently block
Speaker 5: pass rushers and defensive lines. So if we're talking risk,
Speaker 5: what's the what's what carries the most risk right now?
Speaker 5: Because your on line isn't blocking consistently, so standing being
Speaker 5: a statue in the pocket might get you killed.
Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent. I politefully disagree with mister Jones,
Speaker 6: and I feel like, you know, you have to take
Speaker 6: the chances that you're afforded. Uh, when the offensive line
Speaker 6: is not blocking for You're right, if you stand back there,
Speaker 6: you're gonna get hurt either way. You're gonna take the
Speaker 6: hit either way. You're getting hit a lot more than
Speaker 6: you're used to, at least if you're Dak Prescott this season. Uh,
Speaker 6: and look at what brock Party did. Brock Party was
Speaker 6: able to gain some yards in the ground, and I
Speaker 6: don't think he really necessarily took a lot of hits
Speaker 6: in that. In that scenarreo, he's running out of bounds,
Speaker 6: he's running safely.
Speaker 1: He's sliding.
Speaker 6: He's sliding, you know, and you know, granted, I get it.
Speaker 6: You know you slide more than a few times there
Speaker 6: any game. Those reps are gonna they're gonna haunt you
Speaker 6: basically the more you do it. But pick up the
Speaker 6: yards where you can, man Like, you can't be relying
Speaker 6: on these third and ten throws down the field because
Speaker 6: those are obviously not connecting. You need to give your
Speaker 6: offense a better chance at third down.
Speaker 3: If I had confidence in the wide receiver room and
Speaker 3: the tight end room to build some separation and to
Speaker 3: be consistent in that regard, I think I'd be okay
Speaker 3: with Dak staying in the pocket, because I get it.
Speaker 3: Of course, I think I'd be fine with him stepping
Speaker 3: in there, even with the muddiness and the offensive line.
Speaker 3: His pocket presence is part of his strengths as a
Speaker 3: as a pro quarterback. He can maneuver through pressure. And
Speaker 3: it's the fact that whenever he maneuvers through pressure and
Speaker 3: then he looks downfield and there's nobody open, that's when
Speaker 3: I have a problem. Get out of there. Don't they
Speaker 3: sit there or try something else? Yeah, so I do.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it is predicated on the
Speaker 3: success of your wide receivers. Now, in the San Francisco game,
Speaker 3: going back and watching the tape, there were only a
Speaker 3: couple of opportunities for Dak to run. There's one glaring
Speaker 3: opportunity where he probably could have picked up eight nine
Speaker 3: yards ten second. That one was significant, But other than that,
Speaker 3: I thought he basically stuck with Ceedee Lamb made sure
Speaker 3: his number one target could get open and build some separation,
Speaker 3: which he did most of the time, and then other
Speaker 3: than that, it was forcing it into tight windows.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we even talk about how good of a game
Speaker 6: CD has. CD he was incredible, But uh, in that
Speaker 6: same regard, the other receivers were not getting open and
Speaker 6: he's just not taking those opportunities, which is, you know,
Speaker 6: it's not something we're used to seeing from Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3: I think another thing that was declined. Obviously, Absolutely, it's
Speaker 3: a special game.
Speaker 6: And they were talking about on the break yesterday his
Speaker 6: traits coming out of Mississippi State, where the fact that
Speaker 6: he was a dual threat quarterback. Absolutely, and he could
Speaker 6: he could run over some people. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: He was a dog. He was a dog.
Speaker 5: Mississippi State. That is, that is the phrase we used,
Speaker 5: Mississippi State deck.
Speaker 1: Where is he going? Have you seen him?
Speaker 3: Have you seen him?
Speaker 1: I mean, bring him back, bring him back, bring him back,
Speaker 1: bring him back.
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to say something else. It
Speaker 3: had too much of like a rhythm to bring him back.
Speaker 3: I'm back, Yeah, I'll bring him back.
Speaker 1: Tis and going to Atlanta this weekend.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: There getting them out, Bring them out Mississippi dhach, where
Speaker 5: are you all right to win?
Speaker 1: When he's running?
Speaker 8: Now you? Where are you? Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry?
Speaker 9: The uh?
Speaker 3: I love the's that's like my childhood the uh. Other
Speaker 3: talking points from Jerry Jones on one of five three
Speaker 3: of the fan I thought Bobby Belt asked a great
Speaker 3: question regarding the I don't want to call it a
Speaker 3: sub committee, but it kind of is underneath Jerry Jones
Speaker 3: in terms of the front office and how those guys
Speaker 3: are responsible for the good and bad decisions that they make.
Speaker 3: How are they held responsible? And I thought he was
Speaker 3: kind of looking at it as Dallas hasn't necessarily hit
Speaker 3: well in each of their last two drafts. They're still
Speaker 3: the jury's out on a lot of those guys still,
Speaker 3: But to this point, I think from across the board
Speaker 3: you would say it's underwhelming from the twenty twenty three
Speaker 3: and twenty four draft classes so far. I thought maybe
Speaker 3: Bobby was alluding to and maybe probing into the front office,
Speaker 3: and instead Jerry Jones said, I put Mike McCarthy here
Speaker 3: for that reason. I put Mike McCarthy here because he
Speaker 3: has a significant role and I want him to have
Speaker 3: a say head coaches in the Cowboys organization. It's a
Speaker 3: common misnumber that they don't have say when it comes
Speaker 3: to roster building. They absolutely have a ton of say
Speaker 3: in this building, and Mike McCarthy's another reason for that.
Speaker 3: And I thought it was just interesting the way he
Speaker 3: answered that question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and especially when you have the skins on the
Speaker 5: wall like Mike McCarthy has during the Bill Parcells era.
Speaker 5: Bill Parcells and and like you said, it is a
Speaker 5: misnomer that let me put it this way, at one
Speaker 5: point in time in the in the chronology of Jerry
Speaker 5: Jones's ownership of this team, there was an iron fist
Speaker 5: that rule this team, and that was you know, connected
Speaker 5: to Jerry Jones's forum. But in recent seasons it's much
Speaker 5: more of a Knight's of the roundtable, which is what
Speaker 5: I call it, where there's much more of a consultation
Speaker 5: with Stephen Jones and Will McLay and just those guys
Speaker 5: around him, Mike McCarthy, the head coach and whoever else
Speaker 5: might be in that echelon that has they have Jerry's ear,
Speaker 5: and that tends to lead to things like roster decisions.
Speaker 5: Proof positive being did the Cowboys care about the safety
Speaker 5: position before dan Quinn got here?
Speaker 1: Absolutely no, they did.
Speaker 5: Not, right, you know, they really really addressed the defensive
Speaker 5: line position before sat back in them dan Quinn because
Speaker 5: that's my just myth. But then when you see some
Speaker 5: of the moves that they made with in training camp
Speaker 5: with Mike Zimmer still wait, for those two more or
Speaker 5: less pan out. But the moves were made they care about.
Speaker 5: So I mean it's no longer an iron fist situation
Speaker 5: as it was in the nineties, you know. And you
Speaker 5: look at the split between Jimmy and Jerry and how
Speaker 5: that went. Now it's much more of a consultation. But
Speaker 5: because Jerry is the figurehead of it all, he's going
Speaker 5: to get all the criticism but none of the praise
Speaker 5: when it comes to the fan base. When they hit
Speaker 5: on the draft pick, and deservedly so, Will McLay will
Speaker 5: get the praise. When they missed on the draft pick,
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones gets the criticize. So I mean that's just
Speaker 5: how the fan base kind of goes.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at to look no further
Speaker 6: than the draft, it's a war room. That's the brain
Speaker 6: trust of the Dallas Cowboys currently. Is that war room
Speaker 6: of executives and Will McClay that are able to build
Speaker 6: this roster. And if you don't think that the coaches
Speaker 6: have any say in the personnel, look at the turnover
Speaker 6: on defense when Mike Zimmer came in to the picture,
Speaker 6: and look at the linebacker room last year compared to
Speaker 6: this year. So obviously it's there. It's just it's different now.
Speaker 5: It is, and I think people misunderstand just how much
Speaker 5: of a decision making authority from a personnel standpoint Stephen
Speaker 5: Jones has in this equation as well. So people are
Speaker 5: so accustomed to, well, if the Cowboys sign this free
Speaker 5: agent or don't sign this free agent, it's all on Jerry. Well,
Speaker 5: the book does stop at Jerry, but the book may
Speaker 5: not always make it to Jerry in the capacity of
Speaker 5: if if Stephen Jones believes wholeheartedly that we need to
Speaker 5: sign this guy or we don't need to sign this guy,
Speaker 5: and he sells Jerry on that, then then it's sold, right.
Speaker 5: I think it's becoming more and more rare words the
Speaker 5: situation where Stephen Jones may have a stance here and
Speaker 5: Jerry just feels so strongly about this individual like an
Speaker 5: Ezekiel Elliott. For you, Sam Williams is the most Sam
Speaker 5: Williams is another one the most recent or in the
Speaker 5: recent past, like a Randy Gregory, whereas like Jerry feels
Speaker 5: so much about this particular guy. But I think that
Speaker 5: era more or less started to get behind us in
Speaker 5: the with the divorce from Dez Bryant, right, I think
Speaker 5: that if you look.
Speaker 3: Well, even before that, Johnny Manziel to pick that that
Speaker 3: was another.
Speaker 5: Very perfect example of the roundtable just convincing Jerry saying
Speaker 5: that he don't do this, Please don't do this. And
Speaker 5: then with the Dead's situation, it was likely Jerry wanted
Speaker 5: Dead to remain in the Knights, where like, you know,
Speaker 5: we got to move on from that now. Of course,
Speaker 5: that ended up biting him in the rear over the
Speaker 5: next several weeks of that only season, and then they
Speaker 5: had to trade for Mark. But if we're simply talking
Speaker 5: about the decision making process, it's it's not what it
Speaker 5: was in the nineties. There are a handful of advisors
Speaker 5: Steven will Mike, etc.
Speaker 1: The contract team, you know, Adamman.
Speaker 5: And so I mean there's a lot of decisions, a
Speaker 5: lot of decision makers that sit at that table.
Speaker 3: Well, And that's kind of what I think Bobby was
Speaker 3: alluding to in the fact that it's not just Jerry anymore,
Speaker 3: it's not just Jerry as the iron fist, And how
Speaker 3: does the responsibility fall outside of Jerry Jones?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: Who is held responsible when things don't go right? And
Speaker 3: he said that's where he brought up Mike McCarthy specifically,
Speaker 3: but he said, that's that's part of it is you
Speaker 3: are going to be held responsible, especially within these walls,
Speaker 3: even if it's not in front of the media, even
Speaker 3: if it's not in terms of an employment standpoint, you
Speaker 3: will be held responsible if you're the one that's putting
Speaker 3: these ideas on the table and they don't necessarily work
Speaker 3: out before we take our first phone call. Any points
Speaker 3: from Jerry that you'd like to hear.
Speaker 5: That was a great takeaway from Bobby's question. So good
Speaker 5: job there, and yeah, no, as far as the deck thing,
Speaker 5: I really am interested. They see what the fans answers
Speaker 5: to that are going to be as well as Josh,
Speaker 5: who has a great question. As far as you know,
Speaker 5: Crystal Ball, coupleys fans think what are going to happen
Speaker 5: from here on out?
Speaker 6: Yeah, what is your crystal Ball telling you?
Speaker 3: Let's talk about it with one of our good friends.
Speaker 3: We've met him before now Cold Cold T Shirts is
Speaker 3: what I should call him because the T shirts that
Speaker 3: we were on Friday, he's the one that made those
Speaker 3: T shirts. Cold You are on talking cowboys? What's going on?
Speaker 1: Buddy?
Speaker 3: Cold you there?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Out here, buddy, what's going on? Man? Yeah, you know, uh,
Speaker 7: nothing much. I'd ask you all how y'all are doing,
Speaker 7: but I feel like I know how you're doing professionally,
Speaker 7: so I hope you're doing well personally.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's definitely been a struggle. But we're
Speaker 3: going to ask you a couple of questions here. The first,
Speaker 3: this one is how have your expectations changed for this
Speaker 3: Cowboys team now that you've kind of gotten to this
Speaker 3: three and four mark and your eight weeks end of
Speaker 3: the season.
Speaker 11: You know, it's not looking good so far. From me personally,
Speaker 11: I feel we're getting away from a lot of things
Speaker 11: that are taught to you, you know, when you first
Speaker 11: start playing football and you know, moving up into the professionals.
Speaker 11: And that's my big thing is I feel like on
Speaker 11: every layer of the football team, we're getting away from
Speaker 11: our fundamentals. And that's a big problem with me, Like
Speaker 11: it's a glaring issue every week I see, you know,
Speaker 11: tackling tackling. To me, when I was taught football, I
Speaker 11: was taught get low, drive through with your shoulder and
Speaker 11: wrap up, and I'm seeing so many guys just shoulder
Speaker 11: tackle and then oops, you get stiff armed away and
Speaker 11: now you're tackling with your back and the running back
Speaker 11: bounces off and runs up for another five ten yards.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: But yeah, well we can't get that fixed.
Speaker 11: We're not gonna, you know, be any better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, along those same lines, I mean, Jerry talked about
Speaker 3: communication on the offense. That's a fundamental. You've got tackling
Speaker 3: on the defense, both sides struggling with some of the
Speaker 3: bare bones. Now, one last question before we let you go,
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott, would you like him to run or would
Speaker 3: you like him to kind of keep as a pocket
Speaker 3: passer With the importance that he has to this football team.
Speaker 11: At this point in the season, I don't care if
Speaker 11: Dak becomes the leading rusher on the football team, get yards,
Speaker 11: get points.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 6: Cole.
Speaker 3: That's a real football man right there.
Speaker 9: I like it.
Speaker 1: As always, Cole.
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call, Appreciate the love. As always. We'll talk
Speaker 3: to you down the line before we take our first break.
Speaker 3: Let's check in with Nebby in Nebbie, Maryland, or maybe Nebbee.
Speaker 1: On the line.
Speaker 3: Nebby, what do you think about these expectations? Have they
Speaker 3: check going into the Week nine part of the season.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 10: First of all, guys, thanks for taking my call, and
Speaker 10: also thank you so much for the happy birthday wishes.
Speaker 10: I really appreciate it. And Kyle, I just want to
Speaker 10: say that, as much as I hate to admit it,
Speaker 10: I am with you, my man, because I am hitting
Speaker 10: the panic button. And quite honestly, Mike McCarthy won a
Speaker 10: Super Bowl in his fifth year in Green Bay, and
Speaker 10: obviously I was hoping history would repeat itself in that regard,
Speaker 10: but now I believe, and I just want to day
Speaker 10: before I go uh that I'm about to make a
Speaker 10: bold prediction, and that is that uh uh uh uh
Speaker 10: uh yeah, uh.
Speaker 7: Uh uh uh.
Speaker 10: Ben Johnson, uh uh this next upcoming off season will
Speaker 10: be uhh the new head coach beautiful of the Dallas Boys.
Speaker 10: Take care, Thanks for being patient with me, and have
Speaker 10: a great week. Bye.
Speaker 3: Thanks appreciation that. As always, you could tell he was
Speaker 3: nervous to even put out the bold predictions, but he did.
Speaker 3: He said it with his chests. What the show is
Speaker 3: all about. Here's the thing, and maybe is one year older,
Speaker 3: one year bold. He's one year bolder.
Speaker 7: I like it.
Speaker 3: Nebby does a great job of dissecting this football team.
Speaker 3: I really think he does. He knows what's going on.
Speaker 3: He's able to really take into account the whole scheme
Speaker 3: of it all. And it's funny that he's like, I
Speaker 3: hate to be on your side, Kyle, but I'm pressing
Speaker 3: the panic button. When he brought up the twenty ten Packers,
Speaker 3: when he brought up the fifth year of Mike McCarthy
Speaker 3: and Green Bay, I was just curious what their record
Speaker 3: was going into their eighth game. They were three and
Speaker 3: three and then one in Week seven, so they were
Speaker 3: four and three. It's not like they were necessarily lighting
Speaker 3: the world on fire. Remember, they kind of snuck into
Speaker 3: the playoffs. They snuck in at ten and six, and
Speaker 3: then when they got hot in the playoffs, they took
Speaker 3: down Filly, Atlanta, Chicago, and then of course beat the
Speaker 3: Steelers at AT and T Stadium. So it's not like
Speaker 3: the season is over. But what is happening right now,
Speaker 3: and this was my point yesterday, what is happening right
Speaker 3: now cannot continue? Correct, That's the problem, because I guarantee
Speaker 3: you and I'd have to go back further. I wasn't
Speaker 3: necessarily following the Packers in twenty ten in Week seven,
Speaker 3: but I'd have to go back and look, and I'm
Speaker 3: sure there were changes made whenever it was three and three,
Speaker 3: four and three and they were trying to find their
Speaker 3: way back into contention. That's where I'm at with this
Speaker 3: football team. You got to do something different totally.
Speaker 6: But I guess my apprehension here is that you don't
Speaker 6: see anything about this team that says, you know, December
Speaker 6: January football.
Speaker 3: There's nothing that gives me confidence.
Speaker 6: There's no identifying characteristic of that there.
Speaker 3: Even there, you had Aaron Rodgers as a young Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers that was playing lights out. He was an MVP
Speaker 3: caliber at that point in time, even at UH in
Speaker 3: that early point of his career. I we haven't seen
Speaker 3: MVP level Dak Prescott yet. Win was second and MVP
Speaker 3: voting last year.
Speaker 6: But this is not the Only thing you can really
Speaker 6: hang your head on right now is the kicking game.
Speaker 6: And that's not good.
Speaker 1: It's not going to win.
Speaker 3: That alone is good super Bowl and if it does,
Speaker 3: then give my give brands to the keys to the building.
Speaker 5: He's gonna hold out all the rubles. But no, I mean,
Speaker 5: I think the more troubling thing is it's no, the
Speaker 5: season is not over. It's not over. You're three and four.
Speaker 5: You know you can try your best to go on
Speaker 5: a run here. It's not going to be easy. We
Speaker 5: talked about it now great detail yesterday. You are really
Speaker 5: up against it these next several games going up and
Speaker 5: through Thanksgiving. But the more troubling thing is it's, like
Speaker 5: Cole said, and like we've talked about, and like players
Speaker 5: have talked about, and like coaches have talked about, it's
Speaker 5: that air fort, no, the other airport, gentlemen, fundamental fundamentals.
Speaker 5: We're still we're still talking fundamentals going into week nine,
Speaker 5: and and that's troubling. So you're still talking fundamentals, and
Speaker 5: then you look at the gauntlet of teams. You have
Speaker 5: to get your fundamentals in line in order to have
Speaker 5: a chance at defeating Those two things aren't working well together.
Speaker 1: So can it happen? Yeah, absolutely it can happen.
Speaker 5: But being optimistic in this moment about it happening based
Speaker 5: on what we've seen to this point, I just I
Speaker 5: don't know how you can put how you can make
Speaker 5: that happen for yourself, right, It's about just being realistic
Speaker 5: and realistically speaking, the Cowboys need to show why we
Speaker 5: need to reinsert optimism into the picture.
Speaker 3: Here's here's go for it.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, if you looked at the defense
Speaker 6: in the first half of last game, I feel like
Speaker 6: there were signs of life there. There were signs of
Speaker 6: life of a run defense. There were signs of the
Speaker 6: life runs. Yeah, exactly. But the longer you went into
Speaker 6: the game, obviously, the third quarter was just abysmal on
Speaker 6: all fronts. It's just like there are signs of life
Speaker 6: there at times, but it never holds.
Speaker 1: There's a post.
Speaker 5: But when you go into a game and when we
Speaker 5: when you exit a game and you end up looking
Speaker 5: at it and you say, well, always give up. How
Speaker 5: many yards rushing? Oh well, Christian McCaffrey had a day.
Speaker 5: Oh no, he didn't play. Okay, well, Jordan Mason was
Speaker 5: playing well coming in, so it makes sense that he
Speaker 5: Oh no, it wasn't Jordan Mason, it was.
Speaker 1: It was the rookie.
Speaker 5: It was scored an NFL touchdown out of Louisville who
Speaker 5: had himself a date. So more rushing count, yes, but
Speaker 5: you would not expect that the running back three would
Speaker 5: be able to come in and perform more or less
Speaker 5: like running back one would have performed.
Speaker 3: If running back three here, which I guess would either
Speaker 3: be Deuce Vaughan or Cook. However, yeah, however you want
Speaker 3: to throw it out there, they would have had a
Speaker 3: day like Isaac Garrindo. This fan base might explode like
Speaker 3: with happiness like I I like it.
Speaker 5: It's just a completely different They were hoping that Delvin
Speaker 5: Cook would have that day against the San Francisco forty
Speaker 5: nine ers, but I mean his his in game numbers
Speaker 5: didn't look any differently than Rico Dawdles did the previous week.
Speaker 6: No, are you going to say our our Rico game
Speaker 6: where we danced about it was ninety yards rushing. I
Speaker 6: think had ninety five. Yeah, it's like, yeah, we did
Speaker 6: get excited for a game similar to that, right, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Talk about being realistic. I think realistically over the next
Speaker 3: four games Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, and Washington, Dallas needs two
Speaker 3: wins out of that to keep their hopes alive. In
Speaker 3: my opinion, you got to go two and two, which
Speaker 3: puts you one game below five hundred going into the
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving matchup against the New York Giants. Assumingly so, they
Speaker 3: looked bad last night again against Pittsburgh, but assumingly. So
Speaker 3: you win that game against them on Thanksgiving, you're back
Speaker 3: at six and six, and then it's a race to
Speaker 3: the finish with Cincinnati, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, and Washington.
Speaker 3: We're looking way down the line. But in order to
Speaker 3: even give yourself a shot at Thanksgiving, you got to
Speaker 3: win two games that you probably shouldn't win against Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston.
Speaker 5: You know what, Washington, although obviously I would like them
Speaker 5: to win every single one of these games, sign me
Speaker 5: up for what you just said, I mean worst if
Speaker 5: that's the worst case scenario. See, I'm totally fine.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it as that's the best case scenario.
Speaker 3: Well from a realistic standpoint, I'm looking at it as best.
Speaker 1: Care worst cases.
Speaker 5: The season is over at Thanksgiving, correct, So yeah, that's
Speaker 5: so let's compromise. I'll take your compromise there and two wins.
Speaker 5: If you could just get us two wins, and then
Speaker 5: you go and you beat up on the Giants to
Speaker 5: get back at five hundred. Because you made an excellent point.
Speaker 5: Right now, we're not seeing December and January football, but
Speaker 5: it's because we're still in October and hopefully if we
Speaker 5: can get if the Cowboys can get to five hundred
Speaker 5: when it really starts to matter back end of November
Speaker 5: going into December, because we have seen that this team
Speaker 5: in Dark Prescott, Dak Prescott really plays well in November.
Speaker 1: He just really does.
Speaker 5: And in recent history the Cowboys in Dark Prescott, they've
Speaker 5: played well in December as well. They kind of turned
Speaker 5: that narrative. I remember the Tony Romo years where the
Speaker 5: Cowboys struggled so often to get on any type of
Speaker 5: run in December. And then right on the back end
Speaker 5: of Romos before he got injured, he kind of turned
Speaker 5: that narrative and Dak came in and he kind of
Speaker 5: was playing December ball hot December ball. So just don't
Speaker 5: don't go into December at like three and seven. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: because then you're in more trouble than you signed up for.
Speaker 5: But if you can go in December at five hundred,
Speaker 5: so you're saying there's a chief.
Speaker 6: You're saying it's Derek Simber. Let's go.
Speaker 3: Hey, November starts on Friday. Let's get it right now.
Speaker 3: Let's try and figure it out here in these next
Speaker 3: four games, all right, give us a call eight at

Speaker 1: In the back.
Speaker 3: So, uh, we talked about this initially. I wanted to

Speaker 6: at Dallascowboys dot com slash b r CC Rise and Grind.
Speaker 3: Nice. There you go. Okay, thank you very much. I'm
Speaker 3: glad you had that up. I built the page that works. Yeah,
Speaker 3: my internet is not working currently. We'll try and get
Speaker 3: that back up. But while we do, let's go to
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City. Gavin, you're on Talking Cowboys. What's going on? Gavin?
Speaker 8: Hey, fellas, how's going pretty good?
Speaker 3: How have your expectations changed for this football team now
Speaker 3: going into week nine?
Speaker 8: My expectations are the same for the team. I feel
Speaker 8: like I feel like the team has the star power
Speaker 8: to do what they need to do. And I think
Speaker 8: when you look at this team, the inconsistency lies in
Speaker 8: the coaching. I truly believe that. I think that the
Speaker 8: play calling has been bad on both sides. You have
Speaker 8: Centahn makeing adjustments at halftime, and you got the defense
Speaker 8: coming out and based the whole game.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 8: I understand what lack of personnel and stuff like that,
Speaker 8: but it's offense too. It's starting five and we're handing
Speaker 8: Hunter Lifty the ball.
Speaker 9: You know what I mean.
Speaker 8: This isn't just one game. Even the game, I feel
Speaker 8: like the play calling hasn't been great, And yeah, this
Speaker 8: team has just been rooted in disappointment so far.
Speaker 3: I like how there was still some optimism there though,
Speaker 3: because you said your expectations haven't changed and the players
Speaker 3: still are available for you to have success with. Do
Speaker 3: you feel like they can turn it around at with
Speaker 3: what they have currently working in their favor.
Speaker 8: I believe the offense will change it around. Where I
Speaker 8: have a little pessimism is the defense. One we get
Speaker 8: these reinforcements coming in, the Zimmer's gonna have to find
Speaker 8: a different way to utilize Mike. Teams are going to
Speaker 8: continue to do the same thing they did when they
Speaker 8: were both here.
Speaker 6: It's just let me ask you something. What gives you
Speaker 6: the confidence that the offense is going to turn it around.
Speaker 8: So far this season, I just think McCarthy has a
Speaker 8: history of eventually getting things right. I'm not saying he will,
Speaker 8: and I'm personally a believer. If this continues to go,
Speaker 8: we might have to have the tough conversation about changing
Speaker 8: over the play calling DUSS. But at this point, I
Speaker 8: think it's too early to do that because really, who
Speaker 8: is on the councher on the Cowboys coaching staff that's
Speaker 8: going to be able to do a better job than
Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy. It's really nobody. But uh yeah that I'll
Speaker 8: let you guys go y'all Dog Cowboys podcast. For me,
Speaker 8: I look at y'all every day and tell Isaiah to
Speaker 8: stop being all successful and stuff I need to bring out.
Speaker 1: Trust me.
Speaker 3: We'll try and get him right back here. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: he'll right back in the seat before we know it.
Speaker 3: That Thanks Gavin, Appreciate the love, appreciate the support and
Speaker 3: the call. As always, let's go to Gerald and port Allen, Louisiana.
Speaker 3: Down in the port Allen side of things. Gerald, you're
Speaker 3: on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, doing good morning?
Speaker 3: How you doing good morning? How are you.
Speaker 7: Man doing good?
Speaker 9: I love the show they're glad to be on and uh,
Speaker 9: I just I feel like I can push the I'm
Speaker 9: pushing the panic button because we've just I don't know.
Speaker 9: The defenses is there's a whole lot different than it was,
Speaker 9: you know, previous years. And I know we were say
Speaker 9: we reverted back to like the the Mike Nolan era
Speaker 9: and stuff like that, but it just seemed like they
Speaker 9: don't know how to play, how to tackle, or how
Speaker 9: to do the fundamental things of you know, just playing
Speaker 9: defense anymore. The offense, I'm not sure what's going on
Speaker 9: because it's the same pieces, the same offensive scheme. Dak
Speaker 9: has to do better on his throws and when when
Speaker 9: he gets pressed, and sometimes he presses too early in
Speaker 9: the situation in my opinion. But we have to you know,
Speaker 9: establish the run better. You know, if we get the line,
Speaker 9: if we get the offensive line together, get the defensive
Speaker 9: line together, that's that's usually the start. I always hear
Speaker 9: uh Late Newton talking about it. I feel the same way.
Speaker 9: But as far as like stopping the run, I'm starting
Speaker 9: to believe that it's like a cultural organizational issue because
Speaker 9: the culture is not showing us that we can stop
Speaker 9: the run. We haven't been able to stop the running years,
Speaker 9: and then I don't know if we're getting the right
Speaker 9: correct pieces in place to be able to stop the run.
Speaker 9: And it just seemed like they're not tackling it. You know,
Speaker 9: I don't know, I don't understand what we got going on.
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call, appreciate the the inside as always, Gerald,
Speaker 3: and we'll talk about that here for a moment. Patrick.
Speaker 3: I think, whenever it comes to he talked about the
Speaker 3: Mike Nolan era, we're going back. It's funny I skipped yea,
Speaker 3: I skipped right over the Mike Nolan era, and I
Speaker 3: went back to Rod Marinelli era, where there was bad tackling.
Speaker 3: You can't stop the run, you didn't control the line,
Speaker 3: turn image, turnovers were just non existent. Yeah, there were,
Speaker 3: there were a lot of things, and Mike Nolan's defense
Speaker 3: was just downright terrible. And I don't think they have
Speaker 3: the talent on that defense yet. There was a young
Speaker 3: it was a rookie, Trayvon Diggs. It was a rookie.
Speaker 3: They were young, they were beat up. It just wasn't good.
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty, I think, if I'm looking at what
Speaker 3: I've seen from the Cowboys, defense through the first seven games.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it and saying, this is Rod Marinelli
Speaker 3: two point zero.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's fair. And I think a lot of people
Speaker 6: gave credit to dan Quinn obviously for the job that
Speaker 6: he did in changing the trajectory of the defense and
Speaker 6: getting turnovers and playing really playmaker like defense. But to
Speaker 6: my opinion now it certainly like Youso obviously can't give
Speaker 6: him credit for the run defense because that was also
Speaker 6: an issue when dan Quinn was here. It wasn't that great.
Speaker 6: Like you could always you could always point to the
Speaker 6: Cowboys and be like, well, just run the ball, just
Speaker 6: run the ball, and you won't like, they won't be
Speaker 6: able to stop you. There's nothing they can do about it.
Speaker 6: So as much as we're giving Mike Zimmer hell for
Speaker 6: the way that the defense has played so far this year,
Speaker 6: you have to look back at that those teams too,
Speaker 6: and run the run defense was on an issue. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you just don't have the the takeaways anymore, which is
Speaker 6: a problem.
Speaker 5: Well, and he makes an excellent point and shouts out
Speaker 5: to him for making this point, and he got my
Speaker 5: wheels turning because the fact that this has been and
Speaker 5: I'm speaking of the run defense, the fact that this
Speaker 5: has been one of the achilles heels of this Cowboys
Speaker 5: defense for several seasons now, over the span of several
Speaker 5: defensive coordinators. Well, then you say to yourself, Okay, that
Speaker 5: means that while the each respective coordinator is accountable for
Speaker 5: their own defense and accountable for not getting those guys
Speaker 5: able to stop the run. Now it starts to become
Speaker 5: the personnel question, right, so you start to wonder, well,
Speaker 5: what was the personnel under Marinelli, what was the personnel
Speaker 5: under Mike Nolan, which the personnel under Dan Quinn, and
Speaker 5: now under Mike Zimmer And now we're having these personnel questions,
Speaker 5: which means we're going back to free agency and the draft.
Speaker 5: So now we're on that side of the conversation, that
Speaker 5: side of the roundtable where it's just like, okay, well,
Speaker 5: Mazzie Smith, he was a first round pick, was used
Speaker 5: on Mozzie Smith with the hopes that he would be that. Okay,
Speaker 5: he still developed into that, and he's still having his
Speaker 5: ebbs and flows and more downs and ups right now.
Speaker 5: But you know, he just needs to be consistent. There's
Speaker 5: that word again, consistency versus inconsistency. Right, you throw some
Speaker 5: money at Linval Joseph to get him here, But what
Speaker 5: is that enough?
Speaker 1: Was that enough?
Speaker 5: Go back a few years and there were free agents
Speaker 5: that came up, and you could talk about the Endominancus
Speaker 5: of the world and things like that, and I'm not
Speaker 5: saying they should have should not have gotten those guys,
Speaker 5: but what if we can play the what if game
Speaker 5: here where it's just like if personnel decisions were slightly
Speaker 5: different in free agency and attacking the nose tackle on
Speaker 5: the defensive line position outside of OsO Diggi Zuel, which
Speaker 5: I still love to death and just keep Osa in
Speaker 5: the building and just just do it. But now that
Speaker 5: it becomes the personnel question. So if you're saying things
Speaker 5: like the run defense at a higher level seems to
Speaker 5: be an organizational concern, I don't disagree there. And then
Speaker 5: the question becomes, well, what is that mean? It means
Speaker 5: maybe the person knel and how those groupings are put
Speaker 5: together on the roster sheet year after year, maybe that
Speaker 5: approach needs to change. Maybe be a player earlier in
Speaker 5: free agency at defensive tackle, and that's how that can
Speaker 5: kind of trickle down in a positive way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, great points all the way around, and I
Speaker 3: think it's interesting. Even off of those those two calls,
Speaker 3: you had Gavin in Oklahoma City saying that he has
Speaker 3: faith that the offense will turn it around, that the
Speaker 3: defense is not going to play well. And then you
Speaker 3: had Gerald who's saying he has faith that the defense
Speaker 3: can figure something out with a play calling switch and
Speaker 3: the offense is what's the problem. And he's talking about
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott on that. It's all these different perspectives of
Speaker 3: how this thing is intertwined. When we come back, we've
Speaker 3: got two more calls we're gonna get to. We got
Speaker 3: Sean and Hot Springs, Arkansas and RDJ from New Jersey
Speaker 3: coming up on the other side of the break hold tight.
Speaker 3: We've got more talking Tuesday coming up. Right after this,
Speaker 3: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 3: Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repell but
Speaker 3: he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying

Speaker 3: miles per hour.
Speaker 4: But the good news is Todd has at and T
Speaker 4: five g. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 4: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

Speaker 7: just want to say, thank y'all.
Speaker 1: I love it. Driver, give us a give us a y'all.
Speaker 3: Y'all you know what I mean.

Speaker 5: So absolutely, Sean, you are the man. Act me break
Speaker 5: official the Dallas Cowboys, watch out.
Speaker 14: Coming for you.
Speaker 5: I want to give you some more roses, though that
Speaker 5: depends on how you answer this question. Please tell me
Speaker 5: you're begging gears and you're not in the auto man.
Speaker 7: They took they took it from from I'm automatic man.
Speaker 7: Though it's not the same he said, it's not my fate.
Speaker 1: I will allow that they took it from him the shop.
Speaker 7: Well, Sean, they're playing, they're playing with bloodline.
Speaker 1: Sean.
Speaker 3: We appreciate you as always, but uh, how have your
Speaker 3: expectations changed for this football team now that we're going
Speaker 3: into week nine?
Speaker 7: Really they haven't changed a whole lot because with the
Speaker 7: little bid that was done in the off season and uh,
Speaker 7: the throw of schedule that we've had coming into it.
Speaker 7: I can we're we're I kind of acted us to be.
Speaker 7: So I'll tell you what. I had a big cup
Speaker 7: of hopium this morning, and I know they're gonna get it.
Speaker 7: Uh they don't get it. They gonna get it. They're
Speaker 7: gonna figure it out. And I know where the solutions are.
Speaker 1: Where are the solutions in the science. There's always a
Speaker 1: hater in the bunch. What what do you say?
Speaker 8: Science?
Speaker 3: I went a little bit of the hopium too. I
Speaker 3: need I need it this morning. I haven't had my
Speaker 3: coffee yet. That would be great to just have a
Speaker 3: nice cup of hopium. What's in the science?
Speaker 12: What?
Speaker 3: What are we getting it done?
Speaker 7: They're gonna get it done. We're gonna start getting healthy
Speaker 7: on the defensive side. And you know, after week one,
Speaker 7: after the game, a couple of players said that they
Speaker 7: haven't even bit into the schemes that they have built
Speaker 7: up for this defense. So once they start getting healthy
Speaker 7: and we get the Ron Bland back Micah DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 7: to seal up the run and the pass rush, I
Speaker 7: think that's gonna that's gonna get us good. And I
Speaker 7: tell you what, I got us going three out of
Speaker 7: four out of the next Oh.
Speaker 3: I would be all for that nine. That would be fantastic.
Speaker 7: You want to tell you, once we come, once we
Speaker 7: come out of it, once we come into Thanksgiving, they
Speaker 7: gonna say cowboy haters acknowledge me.
Speaker 1: Oh TCT I like it.
Speaker 10: I do.
Speaker 14: I like it.
Speaker 3: I this is what I want out of this season.
Speaker 3: Yesterday when I was pressing the panic button and then
Speaker 3: by the way, I'm still doing it today, I don't
Speaker 3: want that to happen. I want this to be a
Speaker 3: football team that I can I can cover and be
Speaker 3: proud about and talk about and have some hope. So
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Sean.
Speaker 2: The optimism is significant. I can feel it radiating in
Speaker 2: the studio here. Even more so it would radiate even
Speaker 2: louder if you could give us one more tug of
Speaker 2: that that horn real quick, give.
Speaker 1: Them the air horn.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, let's go.
Speaker 1: I feel like Kyle.
Speaker 7: Before it's all said and done, you're going to trade
Speaker 7: in that panic button for one of those old states.
Speaker 3: But I love it, man, I love it. Sean, You're
Speaker 3: a real hero. Appreciate you as always. Stay save out
Speaker 3: on the roads.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you.
Speaker 3: Get down the line. There he goes it all.
Speaker 6: I feel like I feel like Batista, dude, like walking
Speaker 6: out got you know what I mean? Like I'm ready
Speaker 6: for it.
Speaker 5: I feel like Batista, but in a different way. I'm
Speaker 5: looking at the Cowboys and chounce that he won three wins,
Speaker 5: So I'm looking at.
Speaker 6: The like, give me what I want.
Speaker 3: I love it. That was awesome. Yeah, no, dude, yeah,

Speaker 16: want to say I love the show, always loved the
Speaker 16: show appreciation. I mean, the combination is just great. And
Speaker 16: I hope your your your three uh triplets are doing
Speaker 16: well because I I thought that was just great that

Speaker 16: I just want to let you know Pat I was
Speaker 16: I'm on board with you. I am definitely on board
Speaker 16: with you about the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: But here's my problem.
Speaker 16: Can someone asked the question someone why Dak isn't running?
Speaker 12: We need to know.
Speaker 16: I mean, it's so important. I mean it's just like
Speaker 16: there are just times when you're seeing yourself, why.
Speaker 5: Aren't you running?
Speaker 16: And and and some somebody one of the journals journalists
Speaker 16: needs to ask that question because it's so important, Because
Speaker 16: it's getting to a point right now that although I
Speaker 16: have faith in the Cowboys. There are things that are
Speaker 16: just happening that are not about details anymore. It's not
Speaker 16: about cleaning up. It's like, what's going on with this offense?
Speaker 16: What's going on with this defense? Why aren't we why
Speaker 16: are we making plays that are so making plays that
Speaker 16: are so predictable to the other team, and why are
Speaker 16: we letting other teams run all over our defense? Something's
Speaker 16: wrong here and we need to answer questions. But the
Speaker 16: biggest question is why isn't Dak running when he should run?
Speaker 1: Tell you what I would do. I'll ask him on
Speaker 1: Thursday on camera.
Speaker 16: Thank you.
Speaker 9: I'll be one.
Speaker 1: If no one beats me to the question, I will
Speaker 1: get that question.
Speaker 3: I'm going to beat him to the question. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: pop up on Thursday. I'm going to ask you either
Speaker 3: way the eye as I ask it. I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: like Dash, So, why aren't you running this year at all?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 5: No, As long as the Q gets asked it, just
Speaker 5: know it will be asked on Thursday when they make
Speaker 5: him available to the media.
Speaker 3: We got you, love it, We love it. RDJ appreciate
Speaker 3: the call as always be safe out there in New
Speaker 3: Jersey and we'll talk to you again down the line.
Speaker 3: He brings up a great point, though, and Jerry was
Speaker 3: asked about it this morning. Jerry said, I don't necessarily
Speaker 3: want him running. He wants him to be smart about it.
Speaker 3: Is what he said. He wants them to be smart.
Speaker 3: And if that's the case, I think whenever Jerry's cutting
Speaker 3: the checks that ultimately accumulate to sixty million dollars a year,
Speaker 3: I think smart would be stay in the pocket.
Speaker 6: If it's eeronomical runs with Yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Know, it's also smart. What's that winning winning games?
Speaker 3: I agree, trust me, I'm not that one job checks.
Speaker 1: So it is the run.
Speaker 6: That's what Mike McCarthy said yesterday. Our job is to
Speaker 6: win games.
Speaker 3: If it's not about winning, we don't have time for it.
Speaker 3: He said that couple of times. They didn't have a
Speaker 3: lot of time last week. Apparently, Oh sorry, Hey, that's
Speaker 3: that's fine. They're three and four. Let's talk. Let's let's
Speaker 3: go back to Sean. Let's go back to Sean and
Speaker 3: Hot Springs, Arkansas. The optimism, it's a good thing because
Speaker 3: we're turning the page. Now, we're turning the page. We've
Speaker 3: got a tough schedule ahead. The Atlanta Falcons are on
