1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 3: Cowboys.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 4: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: What is up? Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline.

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman. Thursday, January the eleventh, just a few

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: days away from the game we all care about Cowboys

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: and Packers in the Wildcard Round at AT and T Stadium.

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, I really hate calling it the wildcard round.

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. It just does it just

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: it just bothers me. Like when you're like the number

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: two seed and you're the division winner and you're not

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: a wildcard and you haven't been one, and then it's

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: the wildcard around. I wish they would call it something different.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what. Just seems like it's the first

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, but it's just wildcard round. It's like, yeah,

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: but they're on a wild car. But anyways, I don't

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: know that why. That's always kind of bothered me a

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: little bit, but doesn't matter. This is the one that

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: that matters is this game coming up Cowboys and Packers.

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about it. I know the calls,

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: the last few days have been you can tell there's

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: that excitement, that anxiousness, if you will, about the game,

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: but you also about what this could mean, just how

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: how exciting it is. Because the Cowboys have a lot

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: of things in front of them. But it seems like

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: every time there's a call or two about that, there's

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: another one that stops and says, whoa, whoa, whoa hold up?

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Hold up? You know, don't don't look past this one.

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: And no one's really looking past this one. I think

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: everyone's just so excited for it to get here and

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: see what happens, all right. Eight eight eight eight five

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: five two two nine seven is the number two call?

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: You can text us eight one seven. You can text us,

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: uh eight one seven. There it is two nine zero

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: three two nine eight. I got to get that one memorized.

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Let's get to the phone Line's start it off. Tyrones

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: in Georgia. What's up, hey, Nick? How you doing good?

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: How you doing?

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 5: I'm great, I'm super excited. And I keep hearing this

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 5: that everything feels different this year, and I feel myself

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 5: I'm not near as anxious as I am excited. So uh,

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 5: it's it's it's a better feeling going into the playoffs.

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I'm it is a different feeling. You know,

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: it is different. Every year is different in its own way,

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, this one is this one does

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: feel a little bit different. It won't matter if if

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: they don't play well and they lose it, it won't

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: matter what the feeling is. But as it stands right now,

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: it does it does feel a little bit different.

52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 5: All right, I've got a question and then a comment.

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 5: The question is more NFL related overall. It seems like

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 5: I was looking for the playoff schedule the Saturday night

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 5: with the Chiefs and Dolphins, and I couldn't find it

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 5: on regular broadcast TV. And I looked, and it's streaming only.

57
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 5: Am I correct about it?

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 6: Yeah?

59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Peacock, Yeah yeah, I believe. Well, yeah, you got to

60
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: get Peacock the NBC streaming service, I guess.

61
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, okay, And I'm just old school. It just

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: seems seems strange to me that you have to go

63
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 5: that route. But anyway, the comment.

64
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: I have is.

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: The fact that up until this year, it seems like

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: if a big name player went out, everybody just freaked out,

67
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 5: lost confidence. Oh my gosh, what are we gonna do

68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 5: and never a whole let down. But this year feels

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: a lot different. It feels like everybody just pulls together.

70
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: Next man up. You know what you've always heard, but

71
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: it wasn't always so with the Cowboys. What what's your

72
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: what's your thought on that? What's changed?

73
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Well? Thank you, thank you for the call, uh Tyrone.

74
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: I think what's changed. I mean, listen, if you have

75
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: if you have tough injuries, it's gonna be hard to overcome.

76
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: Every team UH has to deal with it. And it

77
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: depends on who you have and who you have behind him.

78
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: I think you know, and I've said this before. I

79
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: remember it being at training camp and someone told me

80
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: one of the scouts said, you know, our best our

81
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: best cornerback is Deron Bland. I mean, Diggs is great,

82
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: Gilmour is really really good too, but the best best

83
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: one we have is Duran Bland. And as as surprising

84
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: as that was, I was like, oh, that's interesting, that's

85
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: one opinion, but that's interesting. And then as it turns out,

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: they needed to lean on that, and so that that's

87
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: probably one thing is that you had a guy like

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: Dern Bland that's that's ready to take over, and there

89
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: wasn't much of a drop off, and then and then

90
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, late in vander esh there was a drop

91
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: off there, but they were able to kind of piece

92
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: it together. So they've you know, and then you know,

93
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: knock on wood, they haven't had a lot of other

94
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: injuries like that on offense, you know, offensive line in

95
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: Arizona that was a problem, but they were able to

96
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: pick it up against Washington and and and and and

97
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: not be the case. So I just think it's a

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a case of having you know, good backups,

99
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: good coaching and and everyone kind of buying into the system.

100
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: And but you know, they've had some key injuries, but

101
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: they've also been rather fortunate too as well. All Right,

102
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: Gary in New Mexico, Next caller.

103
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?

104
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: Gary? How are you?

105
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 7: I'm good? I got some playoff trivia for you to

106
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 7: all right, all right, the Cowboys have had six quarterbacks

107
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 7: in their history that have won a playoff.

108
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: Game on the road on the road. Okay, but are.

109
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 7: Those six of those six quarterbacks, how many have won

110
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 7: more than one playoff game on the road.

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: M all right, So we've got Dak and White, Danny

112
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: White and Berline and Akman and stallback and I'm missing one.

113
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: Maybe Craig Craig Morton. Okay, so then how many how

114
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: many have won more than one?

115
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 7: Only one?

116
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Uh, it's not It wouldn't be Akman, and it wouldn't

117
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: be Burdline, and it would I don't think it's Danny

118
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: White either.

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 7: Is Craig got the No, no, no, no, the only

120
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 7: one quarterback in couple of histories won more than one

121
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 7: road playoff game.

122
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: This is a slam dunk Stato.

123
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's Roger Stovich. And here's the here's the

124
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 7: cool thing about that, because Roger Staubach's poster that I

125
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 7: had hanging on my wall when I was seven years old,

126
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 7: it's still hanging on my office wall today. My daughter

127
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 7: got it reframed and refurnished for me. I mean, that

128
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 7: was my guy. And he's wearing the royal blue jersey

129
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 7: the old world as.

130
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: Oh.

131
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just sweet. Anyway, So Roger Staubach was five

132
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 7: and one on the road in the playoffs.

133
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: Nice, he only.

134
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 7: Lost one game on the road in the playoffs, and

135
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 7: that included two NFC Championship wins.

136
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 5: But anyway, yeah, and that.

137
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 7: Just goes to show you how hard it is to do. Yeah,

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 7: that's hard to win on the road in the playoffs,

139
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 7: and we don't have to worry.

140
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: You're right. I was kind I was kind of asking, like,

141
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: why are you asking this question?

142
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 7: Like, no, no, because remember our car last week. Let

143
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 7: the cake bake. Let the cake bake. Well, the cake

144
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 7: smells pretty good right about now?

145
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, it does, and you got to do

146
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: now is decorated, decorated? All right? I like it.

147
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 7: Put the frosting on. That's why I think the Cowboy

148
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 7: you wrote a good article about why this season feels

149
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 7: a little bit different, and that Washington game felt a

150
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 7: little bit different. They had to overcome some adversity in

151
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 7: the first part of that game, they had to overcome

152
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 7: losing both of their starting guards, and yet they went

153
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 7: out there and did not lay down for they were

154
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 7: playing to win that game, and Dallas just went out

155
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 7: there and they seized it. They took it, and that's

156
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 7: why it feels different. But here's my reason they can

157
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 7: do something special this year. Of all the teams in

158
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 7: the playoffs, Dallas is the only team with the top

159
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 7: five offense, a top five defense, and a top five

160
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 7: special teams union. So they're balanced. Dak Prescott, I think,

161
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 7: is playing as well as any quarterback in the league,

162
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 7: and I think Mike McCarthy has a lot to do

163
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 7: with that. Ceedee Lamb is.

164
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: On a different planet.

165
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 7: And this is the question I have for you, because

166
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 7: I've been concerned about the running game all year.

167
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: But when I.

168
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 7: Looked at it, when I looked at the stats this week,

169
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 7: they're running games not horrible. I mean, their top three

170
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 7: rushers all average four yards of carrier better Pollard squeaked

171
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 7: over a thousand yards. Their running game is adequate. So

172
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 7: my question to you is do you think their running

173
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 7: game is good enough? If Dak and everybody else are

174
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 7: doing their thing, do you think their running game is

175
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 7: good enough to carry them through to a Super Bowl?

176
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call. No, I don't think

177
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: their running game is good enough to carry them to

178
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I don't think though, and I don't

179
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: know if you do either. But since that's how you

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: worded it, that's how I'm going to answer it. Do

181
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: I think the running game is adequate enough? Yes? And

182
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I think the problems are is when it gets to

183
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: this team can throw the ball all over the yard.

184
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: Look at the stats. The stats are ridiculous this year,

185
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: especially the way here in the second half of the season.

186
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: The connection that Dak has with CD Ferguson cooks those guys.

187
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: It's really turned in the corner. You get a game

188
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: where it's tougher to throw. Buffalo was one of them.

189
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Of course, Miami kind of a little bit with the

190
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: rain and wet ball there a little bit, but then

191
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: you have to kind of lean on the running game

192
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more. That's where I think it's a

193
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a problem. But when your running game

194
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: just has to be complementary to a stellar path, then yes,

195
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: I think it's good enough. So when you think about

196
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: the chance of playing a home game here got to win.

197
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: If you do, you get another home game. You gotta win.

198
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: If you do, then you get a home game, or

199
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: you go to San Francisco, and I think from a

200
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: weather standpoint, you should be fine there to do what

201
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: you do best. So I think the running game is

202
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: good enough to compliment a passing game that shouldn't be

203
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: compromised in the playoffs. That's what I think, all right.

204
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: Gabe in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hey, Hey, Nick, what's up? Gabe?

205
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: How you doing.

206
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 8: I'm good.

207
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: How are you?

208
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: First time caller?

209
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 8: First time caller, go, Let's do it. That's great. I'm excited.

210
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Rocky Top.

211
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 8: That's right, Go Rocky Top.

212
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about go Rocky Top. I just like

213
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: the song, actually I do. I like that song. So

214
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: what's up.

215
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 8: It's a good song. Well, first, I just want to

216
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 8: say I appreciate you. I think you really exemplify what

217
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 8: it means to be a fan of the cow Boys

218
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 8: for us, you know, thank you Steady always support, you know,

219
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 8: supporting the team. I'm always excited, and so I appreciate that.

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 8: I think you know, a good a good model for Cowboys,

221
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 8: not reactionary.

222
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: Day I have my days. But but but but that's

223
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: what so y'all. I mean, that's what the fans you know,

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: do I mean, ultimately, we're here. You know, you're not

225
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: going anywhere. It's just that, uh yeah, you know, you

226
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: have your moments where you're kind of up and down

227
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. But right, we're all human, right.

228
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 8: But and then I just want to say, I really

229
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 8: think we're gonna we're just gonna beat the Packers bad.

230
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 8: I think it's they're going to be just deflated. They're

231
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 8: not going to have energy by halftime. We're just going

232
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 8: to run them out of AT and T and uh.

233
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 8: I think Dak is the main reason behind that. He's

234
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 8: laser focused right now. He's playing his best football and

235
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 8: a big reason why, I think is because he's supported

236
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 8: by Mike McCarthy. You can tell just by some of

237
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 8: the calls coach McCarthy is making, you know, like like,

238
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 8: I mean, we obviously disagree with passing it in some

239
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 8: of the situations that he has, especially late late in

240
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 8: the game in Detroit, but like we said, it's because

241
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 8: he has full faith and what Dak's doing and so

242
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 8: and then I just had a question about the offensive line. Obviously,

243
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 8: we saw brock Hoffman TJ. Bass playing really well in Washington,

244
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 8: and I mean it was against the Washington football team,

245
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 8: you know, if you want to call him the football team,

246
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 8: but it's still a professional NFL football team and they

247
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 8: were trying to win the game and they played really well.

248
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 8: So if we get into a scenario where which it's

249
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 8: happened in the past, Tyron Smith isn't able to play

250
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 8: for whatever reason, I'm not trying to jinx anything, right,

251
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 8: or if Tyler Smith isn't playing up to you know,

252
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 8: the standard we want in a left guard. What are

253
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 8: we looking at in terms of what do you think

254
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 8: they might do in terms of brock Off and TJ. Bass.

255
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 8: Let's say Tyron Smith goes down. Are they moving Tywers

256
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 8: Smith out to left this year?

257
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: Are you talking about this year in the playoffs?

258
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 6: Right? Right?

259
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 8: If something were to happen in the next couple.

260
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: Of games, Well, you know, I mean, that's a good question.

261
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: That's a good question if you you know you are.

262
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: You said you're not trying to jinx things, but.

263
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 8: I'm really I'm trying.

264
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 6: I'm trying my best.

265
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: All right, Gabe, thanks for the call. Appreciate that the

266
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: first time call her. Love it. Going into dipping into Knoxville, Tennessee. Good,

267
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: good question, because there are some options there. I mean,

268
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: you've got too many. Doga who's played a left tackle

269
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily played great there. They picked up Lyle Collins.

270
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: He's on the prack to squad. We'll see how his

271
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: development is and how ready he is to play. I

272
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: think I think the having Bass and Hoffman play like

273
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: they have, I don't think they want to kick out

274
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith this year. They've been trying to go against that.

275
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: You might have to, you know, you get into a

276
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: game and maybe that is your best option. But I

277
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: think if something were to happen earlier in the week,

278
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: I think they would practice idoga or or Lyell Collins

279
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: there at tackle if he had to go that route.

280
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: But it is it's a good problem to have to

281
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: have the options there, knowing that they can count on

282
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: bass uh and count on on Hoffman as well. So

283
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: we'll see. Hopefully it doesn't get to that. Tyler Tyler,

284
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith sorry, has been playing pretty well. He's been

285
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: playing really good when he's healthy, and he's been relatively healthy,

286
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: so uh, that's a good sign to have him play

287
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: like he's played all right. Vince in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

288
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, what's going on?

289
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: How are you good?

290
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: Good? Good?

291
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: So it was great yesterday when you had a good

292
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: show there about talking about the superstitious. I just wondering

293
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: on you. You go for walks and all this stuff here.

294
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: Do you ever have something to eat during the game

295
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: or a favorite food or no?

296
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: No, I mean you know what.

297
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: You're nervous huh.

298
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: It used to be for some reason at home games.

299
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Why just because it was there in

300
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: the in the fountain machine, I guess. But I would

301
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: drink mountain dew's all the time on game day. Only

302
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: on game day. I don't really drink mountain dew unless

303
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm writing a book. If I'm writing a book and

304
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: I have to stay up till three or four in

305
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: the morning, I'll go mountain dew and crush it. But

306
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: that's really it, though, And I don't really do that.

307
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: I chomp on ice a little bit, and the people

308
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: next to me, and they're in the games and home.

309
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 6: You know.

310
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: It's always been Derek and Todd Archer from ESPN, and

311
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: they're always kind of like a you're good on the

312
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: ice side. I don't realize. I maybe it's a nervous thing.

313
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: That's it. I don't that's really it. I don't really.

314
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 9: I think.

315
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: I think that is too because when I was younger,

316
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: I would I would scream at the TV. But now

317
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: since I'm older, I just calmed and was like, hey,

318
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: you know me, just yell know, here is not going

319
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: to do anything, but the players are gonna play like

320
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna play. My favorite player is Cornell Green. Back

321
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: in the day the Cowboys used to get uh, not

322
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: from draft churses, but they would check out the basketball players, right,

323
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: different different types of way to get the athletes in.

324
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of cool. Do you remember

325
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: the last player, uh that the Cowboys maybe picked up

326
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: that was really not a full uh football player? Recal

327
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: what what? What did he play?

328
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Well? He was he was he played at Baylor. He

329
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: was a basketball player at Baylor, and he was he

330
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: led the nation and rebounding uh and and and he

331
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: played tied in play a whole lot. But he was

332
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: u and that was what four or five years ago.

333
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, he played Summit tied end. I mean that's

334
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: you know, that's that was more of a Gil Brandt

335
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: text Ram Tom Landry type thing back in the eighties. Yeah,

336
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and because you had twenty seven draft picks

337
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: to do that with and and and and so, and

338
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: some of them hit, you know, like Bob Hayes outstanding,

339
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: Cornehill Green, you know, I mean those they they drafted,

340
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: pat Riley, I believe right from the coach they draft,

341
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: they drafted Carl Lewis, the sprinter. You know, sometimes it

342
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: works out sometimes you know, you're just throwing. That's that

343
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: I think is when the NFL realized, Okay, they have

344
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: too many draft picks. I mean, if they're doing that,

345
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: let's don't let's don't waste it. I think it's a

346
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: good number right now. Seven rounds is a good number

347
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: for the draft. And then and then after that, you know,

348
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: the guys don't get drafted, then they can kind of go,

349
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, in free agency where they want to go.

350
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: Wh's a good spot for them. So I think it's

351
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty good now.

352
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: So here we go.

353
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: Here we go.

354
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: First, No, no, no, this I called a few times, but.

355
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 5: Excuse me.

356
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: Then you get the Jimmy.

357
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: There you go.

358
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 8: I love that.

359
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: So this is my prediction. And I'm not superstitious. So

360
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys. No, I know the Cowboys are

361
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: gonna win this week. Yes, I know, So don't freak out, guys,

362
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: just just buckle up. Your pants is here and U

363
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: let's just do this.

364
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 7: Uh.

365
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboy's gonna know. Like I said, I

366
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: know they're gonna win, and they're gonna win big. I

367
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: think I'm pretty sure.

368
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 7: And uh I just I.

369
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: Just think that way. I used to get a little

370
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: superstitious here and there, but uh I threw that out

371
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: the window with the bathwater, but not with the baby.

372
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: But I think, I think, I know they're gonna win

373
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: this weekend. All you Cowboys fans out there, don't, don't

374
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: go a hate on me, but we're gonna do it.

375
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: And come, uh Sunday night, Monday morning, the grass is

376
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: gonna be greener, flowers are gonna be there.

377
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: It might be white. Good, it might be white on

378
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: Monday morning.

379
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: Honestly, Uh we hear doubt in Albuquerque.

380
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: Probably not.

381
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: It's gonna be cold, cold, all right.

382
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: Thanks man for the call. Thank you. I love how

383
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: he corrected himself like four times. I really think. I mean,

384
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I mean, I think I know.

385
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: So he's like gotta he's got to fit, you know,

386
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: correct himself a little bit. He knows the Cowboys are

387
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: going to win. I don't think you're wrong with that assessment.

388
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I really don't. I think that Cowboy fans feel the

389
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: same way. And uh, yeah, the game is not played

390
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: on paper. It's not we know this. We know they

391
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: have to execute. But they've executed all year long. They've

392
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: played really really good at home, and uh, you know

393
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: that's why you play seventeen games. It's not a small

394
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: sample size. It's it's it's a long, long season where

395
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: you really the best teams are there and they're you know,

396
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: slotted accordingly. It's so much better than obviously college football,

397
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, you have to have style points,

398
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: you have to people have to stay well. I think

399
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: they're better than them. It doesn't matter. Power rankings and

400
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: all that crap. We do it, we see it. Power rankings,

401
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: they don't matter. They don't matter. You're just slotted in.

402
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: You play who you're supposed to play. All right, let's

403
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: go to rich in New Jersey.

404
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, first time calling?

405
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: All right?

406
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I've been watching the Cowboys since I

407
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 10: was ten years old. It goes back to nineteen sixty nine.

408
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 10: And the one thing about watching all those teams all

409
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 10: those years is the coach. And you know, when Landry

410
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 10: stepped on the field, I felt confident. When Parcel stepped

411
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 10: on the field, that's tell confident. When Jimmy stepped on

412
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 10: the field, that's tell confident. Yeah, I don't know how

413
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 10: confident I feel. I like the coach. He's proved himself

414
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 10: twelve and five three years in a row. But that's

415
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 10: where I guess they get a little nervous, but I

416
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 10: will say this, this team has been very consistent all

417
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 10: year long, and they learned to get through some adversity.

418
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 10: You know, the Niners lors three in a row, Eagles

419
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 10: lost more, Cowboys didn't do that.

420
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: This year.

421
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 10: They find a way and they keep plugging away.

422
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 9: This will be the year.

423
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, I think so, I mean,

424
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: I I that's that's Those are the examples when you say,

425
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: why does it feel different? You're right, it's those things

426
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, they hit a rough patch there in

427
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Miami Buffalo, you know, but it was you know, it

428
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: was one of those things where I mean we expected that,

429
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: we expected it was going to be tough. They had

430
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: a chance to win one of those games for sure.

431
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: So uh but yeah, so.

432
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 6: You're gonna lose.

433
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 10: You're gonna lose a game, you know here there, nobody's

434
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 10: gonna be perfect. So well, let's see if they seemed

435
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 10: to climb back.

436
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: Let's see if they've lost their last one. I mean,

437
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: that's what everyone's hoping for. So right, all right, rich

438
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: first time caller, can we get it area? Thank you,

439
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: have a nice day. All right, Let's go to a

440
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: text line question. This is Mike from Denver, Colorado. He goes,

441
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I realize you have not been part of a conference

442
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: championship or a Super Bowl. When it happens, will you cry?

443
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: How do you think you will react? Overall, lastly, the

444
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Packers are good. Do you think they might be a

445
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: little overrated? Well, let me start with that part. There

446
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: is no overrated, Like that's kind of what I just said.

447
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: There's no underrated, there's no overrated. That is what's the

448
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: best part about pro football is there's no ratings, there's

449
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: no it's you. They're nine to eight, they're the seventh seed.

450
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: That's the way the formula goes. That's where they are.

451
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter about anyone's opinion about them, because they're in

452
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they get and they've earned the right

453
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: to do that. So no, I don't think they're overrated underrated.

454
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone in the league is. I mean,

455
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: that's not the way it is now. Individual players, MVP,

456
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, stuff like that. Yeah, you can throw that

457
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: out there if you want, but not from a team standpoint.

458
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: You are what you are, and I mean that's that's

459
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: why it is. They won three straight games to get here.

460
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: They you know the way they you know, they barely

461
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: beat the Panthers barely. You know, they struggled with the

462
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: Bears a little bit, but that's your division game. You

463
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: kind of expect that last game of the season like that.

464
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: And and then they beat Minnesota, went went on the

465
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: road and beat Minnesota. So I think that they're playing

466
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: good football. They've also beaten Kansas City on the road,

467
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: so I think. I don't think they're gonna come in

468
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 1: here and be, you know, in awe of anything. Uh So,

469
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough matchup. They're gonna be They're

470
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna bring everything they have. Is it good enough to

471
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys? We'll see. But no, I don't. I

472
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: don't think they're underrated, overrated, any of that stuff. If

473
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: they if the Cowboys get there, well I cry. I

474
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Sorry, I don't know. I don't know. Well,

475
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: I know one thing that I'll do is and usually

476
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: he's right next to me anyways, but at the end

477
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: of the game, who knows how it all shakes out.

478
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: But I'll find Derek. I'll find Derek and we'll we'll

479
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: we'll we'll talk about it or something. I don't know

480
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: it you know he's been here with me for you know,

481
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: this is our twenty fifth season of we'll be in

482
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: the playoff games and all that stuff. And and I

483
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: know there's been some people that are like, I just

484
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: hope they get to go, you know, go to the ship.

485
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: And we haven't seen it. We haven't been able to

486
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: do it. So I don't know what the reaction will be,

487
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: but I know it'll be a cool moment and it'll

488
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: be one that I'll I'll make sure and find Derek

489
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: and we'll have a moment whatever that, whatever that is,

490
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, let's go to Justin in California.

491
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 11: Hey, Nate, good talking.

492
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 6: To you again.

493
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Are all right?

494
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 11: So you know this whole dan Quinn thing, you know

495
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 11: that just up, you know, like Tee Carroll's Carol Lets

496
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 11: the Seahawks, and you know, now they're saying, oh, dan Quinn,

497
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 11: this is a perfect matter for rum. And then you

498
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 11: have Cowboys fans saying, hey, we better do everything we

499
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 11: can to to make him head coach. You know some

500
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 11: of the fans on Facebook and Reddit, and I'm just

501
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 11: not understanding why we're so quick to kick McCarthy out

502
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 11: and put Quinn in when we have seen Quinn as

503
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 11: a head coach, and so, yeah, he made it to

504
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 11: a Super Bowl. He blew it and that was with

505
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 11: Kyle Shanahan and they didn't win the game. Yeah, And

506
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 11: for consecutive seasons after that as a head coach, Kyle

507
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 11: Shanahan leaves, dan Quynn was still head coach, and he

508
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 11: progressively got worse. Maybe he's just not a good head coach,

509
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 11: and maybe he's just a very brilliant defensive coordinator, and

510
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 11: maybe we should just keep him, do everything we can

511
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 11: to keep him around. I don't understand the whole fascination

512
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 11: with trying to make him a head coach when we

513
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 11: have a perfectly good head coach right now.

514
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 5: He's proven it.

515
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 11: Whether whether he doesn't win in the playoffs or not,

516
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 11: it's not always completely his fault. Like he can't just

517
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 11: place the blame on this man. And I think if

518
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 11: he makes it to at least an NFC championship, there's

519
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 11: no way in hell that he's gonna get fired. It

520
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 11: would be the stupidest decision ever.

521
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 7: So that was my main point.

522
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 11: And then you know, just the prediction that I have,

523
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 11: I feel I don't feel it's going to be a

524
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 11: blowout by the Cowboys. I think it's going to be

525
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 11: a tight game. And I think as long as we

526
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 11: could keep Aaron Jones and I think AJ Dillon under wraps,

527
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 11: because we all know that's still a problem for us.

528
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 11: If we keep that under wraps, I think we pull

529
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 11: away with this win. And I think it's gonna come

530
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 11: down to Michael Parsons or de Law making a big

531
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 11: play at the end, just like they kind of did

532
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 11: at the Chargers game.

533
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 6: And nowt hanging up the listener.

534
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'll address the first part he said.

535
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, dan Quinn has got some you know, opportunities.

536
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a lot of people, a lot

537
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: of teams I think that are interested in him. And

538
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: and then Seattle obviously, that one seems to make sense,

539
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: especially with Pete Carroll still being there, you know, like

540
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: he was under Pete Carroll there, you know, when they

541
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl and went back to the next year,

542
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: and and then I think, you know, Pete Carroll still

543
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: be an advisor and all that. So, uh, that's a

544
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: that seems like a good situation for for dan Quinn,

545
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he obviously has had some opportunities

546
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: and it hasn't. I'm not gonna say it worked out.

547
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: It just you know, the Cowboys kept him one way

548
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: or another, paid him a lot more, and it just

549
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: wasn't what he wanted to do at that time pursue

550
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: those those opportunities. Seattle could be different, and so we'll see,

551
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: we'll see how it all shakes out. And also when

552
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: that happens, if it's during the season still and the

553
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys are still going, you know, it's there's different ways

554
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: to handle it. He's made it pretty clear though that

555
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: he did some of this prep work, interview stuff, all

556
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: of these things. He does that in the off season,

557
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: as far as getting him his interview process in place

558
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: and all that. So it's not something he's having to

559
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: do right now. He's already kind of done that. So

560
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: when he does and go and when he does interview,

561
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: and if it's even during the season, it shouldn't take

562
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: a lot of his time and focus in preparation away.

563
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: If there's one guy that I think could handle this,

564
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: it would be Dan Quinn, very professional like, and so

565
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's not so much Hamm, it's maybe some

566
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: of the people that he might take with him and

567
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: and how how all that's handled. So, but you know,

568
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: it is, it is what it is now. As for McCarthy,

569
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that seems ridiculous to me. I mean,

570
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: guys won twelve games three years in a row. No,

571
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: no coach has ever done that in Cowboy's history. And

572
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I say. If you want to

573
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: if you want to make a change, if somebody wants

574
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: to make a change, it better start there. Better start

575
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: with someone that's that's done that know, give me somebody

576
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: that has that kind of success, you know, and he's

577
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl and all that. So I think

578
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of ridiculous. He's I don't know if you

579
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: really want to start over there when you're building something

580
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: really really strong here, all right, Josh in Utah.

581
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, sure, hey, Josh, first time collar, right, Josh. Quick question.

582
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 12: So when they're psych on the Lions game, right, and

583
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 12: it's big offense got the ball, our defense is struggle,

584
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 12: and at what point do you just kind of say

585
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 12: let them score because they still have two minutes left

586
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 12: and they pretty much drove the whole clock out. Why

587
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 12: not just let him score, get our offense the ball

588
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 12: back and then let us drive. Does that make sense? Yeah,

589
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 12: I mean let us finish with the ball in our hands.

590
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, I understand what you're what you're

591
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: saying there, But you know that at that point, they've

592
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: scored thirteen points and you've already had a goal line

593
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: stand on them. So why do they have to score

594
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown and you don't have to have they don't

595
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: have to score a touchdown. I mean, you can stop

596
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: them in four downs and and and win the game.

597
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: You know, you know they have to score a touchdown.

598
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know about letting them score when you're

599
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 1: up by seven. They've only scored one touchdown today. I mean,

600
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: I think the focus is get Micah Parson after their

601
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: ass and try to try to stop them. You know

602
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: it didn't it didn't happen, but you know, force it

603
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: on them, you know what. Think about it. Think about

604
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: letting them score and then they go for two on you,

605
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: because it clearly was going to go for two. And

606
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: then then they got the lead, and then you go

607
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: down and you don't get the infield goal range and

608
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: you lose because you let them score and you lost

609
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, like, I don't know about that.

610
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: There are times where you do let them score, you know,

611
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: like maybe when the game is tied and then and

612
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: then you're like, all right, we know they're gonna kick

613
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: a field goal, score touch so might as well just

614
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: do that. But not, I don't think when you're up

615
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: about seven. I think I think a defensive mentality is

616
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: we're going to stop them, you.

617
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Know, right.

618
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,239
Speaker 12: But there's been a few games this year there's just

619
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 12: three or four minutes left and we weren't stopping them.

620
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 11: No.

621
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 12: I was just curious, did they ever actually just let

622
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 12: them score?

623
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: There's times for it, you know, but teams are smart too,

624
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: like like in Miami, they you know, they weren't going

625
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: to let them score. I mean like like I mean,

626
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: Miami wasn't going to score a touchdown. You know, you

627
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: could have you could have let them the game was tied, No, No,

628
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys were up by one and they were just trying

629
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: to get into a field goal. You could have theoretically

630
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: let them score, but I don't think they were going

631
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: to do that. They weren't going to score touchdown. So

632
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: sometimes teams, teams know that and they're like, all right,

633
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna just you know, we don't have you can't

634
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: just pick me up and throw me into the end

635
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: zone for a touchdown. I mean, like so it kind

636
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: of goes both ways.

637
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 12: Sweet, all right, question, thank you, right, Josh, thank you

Speaker 1: Right, what's going on? What are you doing?

644
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: All help man on this travel just.

645
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: On the gravel around?

646
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 10: Yeah?

647
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 4: What I do?

648
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: Man? You know, I've been I've been talking with some

649
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 3: friends and all that good stuff, and it's it's amazing

650
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: how people just it's my past the Cowboys on ex

651
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: assist this year and seasons past, you know, yeah, you

652
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: take this because of they come up short in the

653
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 3: playoffs in the last twenty years.

654
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I mean this team gets judged by the

655
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: successes and failures of other teams. It's an easy it's

656
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: an easy number to put that on there. You know,

657
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: nobody does that with the Lions. I'm looking at like

658
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: TV of that screen has the Lions. I mean, who's

659
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: never won this brow? But I mean, no one does

660
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: it with all these other teams, both with the Cowboys.

661
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: And it's funny because that's the standard they have. They

662
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: obviously have that standard for the coupage. So it's just

663
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: an easy it's an easy target to you know, target

664
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: on Jerry Jones to say, oh, they haven't won in

665
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight years, you know, haven't won the Super Bowl

666
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty because that's the expectations that everybody has for the cowtay.

667
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: So yes, well, I know, Dank, the better tup about

668
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: dan Quinn might be going over here over there, you know,

669
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: And I don't want Mat McCarty to go nowhere. Regardless

670
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: of this season. I think the man that has got

671
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: only something, I see them making a super Bowl the

672
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 3: next year too, if not this year. Right, and for

673
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: for my prediction on tomorrow, I mean not tomorrow, a Sunday,

674
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: I'll see it thirty five. Okay, they say we're going

Speaker 3: So, oh yeah, I get into it. Man, my boy,

684
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: I remember one time when he was my oldest boys

685
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 3: four years old, and yeah, I said a certain word

686
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: when of those messing up, and he went around repeating it.

687
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: Oh of course, yeah they don't you You could say

688
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: mayonnaise and and they would never repeat that. But if

689
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: you say something else, Oh yeah, they know. They have

690
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: that radar. They just know. I don't know what it is.

691
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: Those kids know when a bad word comes in.

692
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're lucky little spoons. They just stuck a

693
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,439

698
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good. It's not a good sign. Maybe

699
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: we're losing callers. I don't know.

700
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 3: All right, no, hit the button, man, there you go.

701
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 3: Thanks Josh, thank you, but I appreciate it.

702
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't know if this is prayer worthy

703
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: of getting into the storyline, but I definitely appreciate it

704
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: all right. Uh, Louise is on text message of Louise.

705
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: He's from Someland Park, New Mexico. Loved the show. This

706
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: text is from the Superstitious Deal. I'm very superstitious when

707
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: it comes to Cowboys games every week. I do believe

708
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson curse has been lifted after all these years.

709
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: It'll be proven when the Niners losing Cowboys hosting the

710
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: championship game. I normally wouldn't put this out there, but

711
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: I strongly believe the curse has been lifted. All right, Luise?

712
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: Uh maybe, I mean I think it's one of those

713
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: things where let's let it, let's let it play out. Uh,

714
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: if all that happens, and I mean, because you have,

715
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: let's be honest. Now, since that's happened, there's been some

716
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: favorable things that have that have helped the Cowboys. We

717
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: know that, we see it. And yeah, if somebody like

718
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: the Rams knocks off the Lions and you you play

719
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks or the Eagles, and then the Rams beat

720
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: the Niners and you host the Rams and beat them,

721
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: you got to beat them, and you go to the

722
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, then yeah, maybe the curse has been lifted.

723
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: Or you just go to San Francisco and you win.

724
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, but again, not trying to get ahead

725
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: of ourselves. But I'm not believing in the curse has

726
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: been lifted until I see a bunch of things that

727
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: are different than I haven't seen before. So I have.

728
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: I've seen home playoff games. I've seen them have high

729
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: seeds like this. I haven't seen the championship game though,

730
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: and I haven't you know, definitely haven't seen Super Bowl

731
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys perspective. I've seen one at at and

732
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: C Stadium with the Packers, but I haven't seen, obviously

733
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: anything better than the Division A round. All right, Anthony

734
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: and Miami.

735
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 6: What's up? Make the quick?

736
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:54,959
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

737
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 3: Man?

738
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 6: You know I'm doing well. I called the show to

739
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 6: the day, right, I'm just in a different tone right now.

740
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 6: I called Shoe the other day that you left. Man,

741
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 6: I called hanging right because I hadn't called him in

742
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks. But you. I was two calls

743
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 6: after you left, so I asked shading them where you was,

744
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 6: and they said, you went on the left, and they

745
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 6: will tell you about my call. It was about happy.

746
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 6: The thing was happy. I said, I'm happy about everything,

747
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 6: and everybody happy, happy, happy happy. That's just how I

748
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 6: found it. The reason I'm happy is because let's do

749
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 6: another movie thing. You know how we did the radio

750
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 6: I did. I shared the radio scene with you. I'm

751
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 6: gonna share one from one of my favorite movie, Roadhouse,

752
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 6: and Patrick Wavey says, he said, I want you to

753
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 6: be nice until it's time not to be nice.

754
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 9: And when is that?

755
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 6: And he said, I'll tell you so. I'm telling the

756
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 6: Cowboys it's time to not be nice. No handshakes, no

757
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 6: jersey swaps, it's time not to be nice. You see

758
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, not to be nice. And this is

759
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 6: what the Cowboys are gonna do because you know, in

760
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 6: the Prince of Positivity, I dubbed myself that we're gonna

761
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 6: win at least by thirteen, be a little rough early.

762
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 6: We're gonna pull away thirteen this week. And I'm saying,

763
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 6: this is my this is my take. We're gonna beat

764
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 6: the breaks off whoever's next, and then we're gonna take

765
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 6: that theory of nice to his time not to be nice.

766
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 6: If there are any bullies that are left in the

767
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 6: NFC Championship Game, then we're gonna smack them in the.

768
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: Mouth, be the bully. How about that?

769
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 6: We won't be the bully. That's what I'm saying. We're

770
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 6: gonna smack them in the mouth. Right, So, let me

771
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 6: give you Let me give you something on football players

772
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 6: real quick. Okay, Roger, I heard somebody say, Roger I

773
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 6: never talked about my favorite players. My favorite player ever

774
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 6: is INMSS Smith. The reason I started and the first

775
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 6: Cowboys I liked was Tony Dorsett my first jersey and

776
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 6: Rogers started back Captain America. Two Cowboys that I have

777
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 6: so much like for it's the ones that came right

778
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 6: around the Jimmy regime that stayed with the Tom Lands regime.

779
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 6: And that was Jim Jeff Cooche and Bill Bates. And

780
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 6: the reason why two longtime veterans, I guess they were

781
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 6: fan favorite. Yeah, fifteen year veterans, I believe or something

782
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 6: like that. And those were maybe those were two of

783
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 6: the ones. Michael Irvin said, these are the good guys

784
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 6: who can keep them. They were card So I'm just

785
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 6: happy that with that, you know, they was able to

786
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 6: get their rings and stay unlike some of the others,

787
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 6: you know, Randy them, who about U gracefully and so

788
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 6: I can't do it anymore. And the ones who got

789
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 6: cut or whatever. But those two I just, you know,

790
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 6: I like guys like that who just stayed with it

791
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 6: and won those Super Bowls, you know. So that's what's happening,

792
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 6: all right, that's what we want to do. All right.

793
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: Awesome, Thanks Anthony. You know, I throw two more guys

794
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: in there on that list because Jimmy had kind of said,

795
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, there were some guys they weren't that good

796
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: of players, you know, back in the mid you know,

797
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: mid eighties, late eighties, but they suddenly got really good

798
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: when you put a lot of other pieces around them.

799
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: And I you know, Nate Newton is probably one where

800
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he wasn't good. I mean, I loved Nate,

801
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: but I'm saying Nate, you know, Nate was able to

802
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: become pro bowler, you know, one of the best players,

803
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: one of the best guards in the NFL, you know,

804
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: and he was here in that early regime. Mark Tuinea

805
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: is another one like that, where you know tuine was

806
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes starting, sometimes not, and then you know

807
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: he was They were both part of that great line

808
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and so you know, you have to have

809
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: some really good coaching, really good players around them. Bates

810
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: and and like you said, Jeff co those are other

811
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: two more you know a couple other hold overs, maybe

812
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: you know the Robert Williams types. And I'm trying to think,

813
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's just maybe Ken Norton junior. He was

814
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: drafted in eighty eight there with with Michael Irvin and

815
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: you know, Landry's last draft. But but yeah, it helps

816
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: to have great players around him for sure. All right,

817
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: let's go to Scott in New Jersey.

818
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, how are you say?

819
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: Good Scott? What's going on?

820
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 9: A few things? I just want to say, first time caller,

844
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,000

845
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,359

846
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: Not really, not not on the air, but we sort

847
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: of did. Yeah, un Necessary Roughness Armadillos.

848
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 9: Yes, sindbad everything. Loved that movie. Yeah, random, random football

849
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 9: player and I don't know whatever happened to his career

850
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 9: and he fizzled out. And just reminds me because he

851
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 9: was eighty eight.

852
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: Was Antonio Bryant? Boy? He was it was something?

853
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 9: So yeah he was something? Right, Yes, So two quick

854
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 9: questions and then I'll hop off and listen to you.

855
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 9: So do you think the side of the linebackers with

856
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 9: Dallas just you know, they're a little light in size.

857
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 9: I know lve Is is is out. I don't I

858
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 9: haven't seen an Eta if he's coming back by any chance.

859
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 9: But do you think the side of the linebackers may

860
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 9: play a fact they're both in wildcard against Packers or

861
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 9: you know, let's say they move on and if maybe

862
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 9: Rams could a huge pull up, an upset or anything.

863
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 9: Do you think the sides of the linebackers are going

864
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 9: to be an impact or or hinderance to down us.

865
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 9: And I know we've I've heard other callers today talk

866
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 9: about just the passing game, but we're not giving enough props.

867
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 9: Like I know, the running games a little slow this year,

868
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 9: but and and sporadic. But the passing game has been

869
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 9: pretty darn consistent all year long. But there has been

870
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 9: a couple uh what would you say, gaps or games

871
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 9: where they looks like that the passing games stalled and

872
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 9: then the offense kind of Yeah, I don't want to

873
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 9: do sputtered. So what's your what's your thoughts? I'll hang

874
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 9: up and listen.

875
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: All right, all right, thank you for the call. Yeah,

876
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said earlier, I think I think

877
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: this is definitely a passing team. You know, you gotta

878
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: it's a passing team. That's where this that's where the

879
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: playmakers are, That's where the Cowboys really move the ball,

880
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: but you gotta be able to run it to You

881
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: gotta be able to have complimentary games. And I think

882
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 1: the games where the passing game has been a little

883
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: compromised and they have to lean on running game a

884
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: little bit more, that's where they've struggled. They've struggled a

885
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: little bit more. There, you said, Antonio Bryant. Of course,

886
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: everyone kind of remembers the The Antonio Bryant Parcels story

887
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: that everyone knows or has heard of is when he

888
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: threw the jersey in his face in the middle of practice.

889
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he was here that much long after that,

890
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: they traded him to Cleveland. He got upset and frustrated

891
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: and practice and took off his jersey and threw it

892
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: in Parcels face. The story that I remember was, uh,

893
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: when he he walked in. There was a story that

894
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: like he walked in one day and he had this

895
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: like lime green shirt on, and Parcels used to stand

896
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: up or sit at the door and watch their players

897
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: come in, and he'd have a little something for all

898
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: of them, you know, just one little quip here and there.

899
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: And apparently one day Antonio was walking in, you know,

900
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: probably just doing his own thing. You know, he was

901
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: a little he was a little different guy, you know.

902
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: And he said, uh, Antonio, you know, he wouldn't ever

903
00:44:58,880 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: call him aby.

904
00:44:59,560 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 6: You know.

905
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: It's like, and Antonio, I love that shirt, just bright

906
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: meon green, highlighter looking shirt. He's like, I love this shirt.

907
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: Can I get one? And he's like, no, Coach, you

908
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: can't get a shirt like this. No, no, no, Antonio,

909
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,959
Speaker 1: I want this. No no, you can't get this shirt. Hey,

910
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: you can't wear this?

911
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 6: No?

912
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? I love this shirt? It's great now, coach.

913
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: And went on for a little bit, and finally he's like, oh,

914
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: why can't I get the shirts? Because they don't make

915
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: six x Coach, they don't make a six XL you

916
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: can't wear this. And everyone laughed except for Bill and

917
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: you knows. And I don't know. I don't know how

918
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: long where that was with the whole throwing the jersey

919
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: in his Facebook. Clearly they had a little different relationship there. Anyways,

920
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: just thought i'd throw that story out there, all right,

921
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: we have any more callers? We do one more? Alan

922
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: in Long Island.

923
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, good morning, how are you morning?

924
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: You ready? Alan? You ready to go?

925
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 6: I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go.

926
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 13: I'm actually sitting in my car and I was gonna leave,

927
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 13: and I was like, you know, let me talk.

928
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: Nick real quick. Okay, appreciate it. Called Nick and called

929
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 1: the show real quick.

930
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 13: Yeah. So I just I was talking to Chris about it.

931
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 13: When we drafted Michael Parsons, we drafted him as a linebacker, right,

932
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 13: I believe he still had twelve sackses rookie year. I

933
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 13: think at least twelve sacks a rookie year. But just

934
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 13: if you can correct me, like what percentage did he

935
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 13: play his rookie year as a linebacker?

936
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: It was, well, he had like thirteen he had thirteen

937
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: sackses first year, thirteen and a half second year, and

938
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: then this year, I think he got to fourteen. So

939
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: he's he's getting a little bit better every time, but

940
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: he didn't like he played. I would say it was

941
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: about sixty pass rush. I mean it was, it was.

942
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: It was back and forth a lot. You know, it

943
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: wasn't all the time because because it was a situation

944
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: going into the offseason of you know what, sorry, what

945
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: should they do? What should they do there? It wasn't

946
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: just you know, sixty sixty forty it wasn't just full

947
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: time pass rusher.

948
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 13: Right, and and then obviously his sophomore year and his

949
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 13: junior year he became more of a pass rusher. Correct,

950
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 13: Like he wasn't as much of a lineback.

951
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Cowboys.

952
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 13: Right, Yeah, yeah, Mike, I'm talking about Yeah, Mike, No, No.

953
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, or year when they're doing when

954
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: they're done with college, I don't, I don't say that anymore.

955
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: You're talking about second, third year? Okay, correct, Uh, yeah,

956
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: he's I mean I think he's rushed the passer more

957
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: every time. Every year he's he's he's had more rushers.

958
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 9: Ok.

959
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 13: So my question is because obviously we're gonna have to

960
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 13: pay Micah. I'm sure if his agent and him are

961
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 13: going to say, well, you may have draft him as

962
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 13: a linebacker, but we want him to get paid as

963
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 13: a defensive end because they get paid more money than linebackers. Yes,

964
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 13: my question is, since it seems like with Marquis Bell

965
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 13: at undersized linebacker slash safety hybrid and Dei mont Clark,

966
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 13: did we make a mistake and making him a full

967
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 13: time I guess pass rusher instead of having him as that,

968
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 13: having him at that linebacker pass rusher hybrid because his

969
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 13: rookie year twelve and a half sacks or whatever, thirteen sacks,

970
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 13: and then look at him now as a full time

971
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 13: pass rusher and it's only really been a sack and

972
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 13: a half difference.

973
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: I disagree with you. I really disagree with you.

974
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 13: I'm just asking you. I'm just asking him, like I'm

975
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 13: just thinking. I was just thinking of a question. I

976
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 13: was like, you know, let me ask Nick this with

977
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 13: you're saying that we shouldn't have done it. I'm just wondering,

978
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 13: did we make the mistake?

979
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, appreciate the appreciate the call.

980
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 6: Here.

981
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: We got one more call we got to get to.

982
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, But I'm gonna answer this question.

983
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: I disagree because, and I've always said this, I don't

984
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: like that saying close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades.

985
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: I hate that. I always say, and I've said this

986
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: for years, and pass rush because close can matter. Yeah,

987
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: you you didn't get the sack, but the guy was.

988
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: You were screaming off the edge of the quarterback, peeing

989
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: his pants. He just throws it real quick.

990
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 5: You know.

991
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: I'm third and twelve into the ground and they have

992
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: to punt. You did something. The sacks might be different.

993
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: I guarantee the attention is different. The pressures are way up.

994
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: He leads the league in pressures. He gets after the quarterback,

995
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: he gets after. He makes a difference, and everyone knows

996
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: that he's making a difference. Just just answer this question.

997
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: Wherever you think about making mistake. The Packers are driving down,

998
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: they're down by four, they need a touchdown. They're on

999
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: the twenty two yard line and it's fourth and nine.

1000
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: Where do you want Micah? You want him at linebacker

1001
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: and make sure that he can cover the tight end,

1002
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: or do you want him on that edge going right

1003
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: after Jordan Love? You answer that question, and then you

1004
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: can you probably answer your own question of where you

1005
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: want him and have they made a mistake because I

1006
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: really think he needs to get rushed. He needs to

1007
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: be rushing the quarterback real quick. Eric in North Carolina,

1008
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: last call.

1009
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, how you doing? I'm doing well. I hope

1010
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 4: you are. How about them? Cowboy go?

1011
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: First caller? First time, h third time?

1012
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 4: But I never got the but I never got the back.

1013
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: You never got it, and give it to you ever

1014
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: go you got it?

1015
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 7: Eric?

1016
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 4: I appreciate you and Chris. So I'm really excited about

1017
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 4: the Ring of Honor and Jimmy getting in. And it

1018
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 4: was really fun to see Darren Woodson and Charles Haley

1019
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 4: kind of nodding when when Jimmy was saying that he

1020
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 4: was kind of a jerk at times. Yeah, that was

1021
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 4: a lot of fun. But let's just say that that

1022
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 4: we do great in the playoffs. And Jerry is in

1023
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 4: a great mood and he comes to you and he says, Nick,

1024
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put in three players into the Ring of Honor,

1025
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 4: one from the seventies, one from the eighties, and one

1026
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 4: form and one from the nineties.

1027
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 3: Who would you put.

1028
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: In seventies, eighties, and nineties. I'll go with I'll go

1029
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: with Harvey Martin. In the seventies. I'd go with Everson

1030
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: Walls in the eighties and in the nineties. If I

1031
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: got just a guy from the nineties, man Nate Newton,

1032
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: Nate Newton, that would be it. That would be my

1033
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: three right there, real quick? Who would you put in?

1034
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 1: I love when.

1035
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 4: I was thinking Harvey Martin, and I was thinking Everson

1036
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 4: Walls too, But just to go with with, uh, someone different,

1037
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 4: I would say it too tall Jones because he was

1038
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 4: always terrific.

1039
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1040
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 4: And then from the eighties I would say Tony Hill.

1041
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

1042
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 4: And from the nineties I would say j novichickj Novchick.

1043
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all good choices for sure. Yeah, But

1044
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: I like, you know, I mean, you can make a

1045
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: case for Dion too, honestly, because I mean we're putting

1046
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: guys in. Charles Haley didn't play. I mean he played

1047
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: five years I think, and Jimmy coached here five years.

1048
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: And I mean Dion's, you know, arguably the greatest cornerback

1049
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: to ever played. So I mean you could make a

1050
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: case for Dion. But for me, Everson Walls. You know,

1051
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: just what with what happened with with with Ron Springs

1052
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: and just that's the epitome of what a team that

1053
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: is the Ring of honor. Plus he was a great player,

1054
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: absolutely great player. The teams weren't great in the eighties,

1055
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: he was.

1056
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 11: Now.

1057
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: Is it a coincidence that I named two guys on

1058
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: our shows? Maybe maybe it is, but I tell me

1059
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I mean, Eversin Walls, Nate Newton, both of

1060
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: them have the accolades to be there, and they should

1061
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: be in Harvey Martin from the seventies. If you went sixties,

1062
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: i'd say Cornell Green as well. All Right, great show, guys,

1063
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,479
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Chris Bean, thank you so much for working

1064
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: in the back like you always do. We'll see you

1065
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: tomorrow on Cowboys Storyline.

1066
