Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: Here's Nick Eatman, Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 3: by Jillette. Monday, December fifteenth. I'm Nick Eatman. You guys

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: are frustrated. Cowboys lose thirty four to twenty six at

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: home to the Vikings. It's one of the one of

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: the worst ones of the season. Once again, Cowboys find

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: a way to make a below average quarterback look really

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: good and an offense that you know, in a team

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: that was struggling and they come into at and T

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: Stadium with the aggressive defense and outplay the Cowboys, out

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 3: coached the Cowboys, and you know, out desire the Cowboys

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: if that's even a thing. But I mean, it was

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: a it was a game of two teams at the

18
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 3: very bottom of the NFC playoff picture and you know

19
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 3: had to have it. It just absolutely had to win

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: the game. And it looked like it just looked like Minnesota,

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: you know, it was more better prepared and went out

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: and outplayed them, out executed and obviously won the game,

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: didn't didn't beat themselves with you know, with miss field

24
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: goals and and and and you know, bad plays on

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: special teams and defense and all that. So you know,

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: as a as I wrote in my article, it was

27
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: it was the worst kind of complimentary football because they

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: all complimented each other, but it was all below average.

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: You know.

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: The offense didn't play like we've expected them to play.

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: The defense does what it does, which is isn't good enough,

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: not giving them a pass. It's just who's shocked by

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: at this point. And then and then special teams. I mean,

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: you're asking Brandon Aubrey to make fifty nine yardfield goals

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: fifty one. That's because he does, because he makes them

36
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: until he doesn't, you know. And so you're asking Cavante

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: Turp and it catch the ball. You know, the ball's

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 3: at the twenty five twenty seven yard line, catch it,

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: you know, so it doesn't roll down to the two

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: and you waste the possession and give them the ball

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: at the fifty so they can go and drive and

42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: tie the game. So there's just a lot of things

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: that that happened, but it was and you know, coaching

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: wasn't wasn't good enough. I mean Schottenheimer said it. I

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: mean he got out coached by Brian Flores on the

46
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: other side, and it was evident to the two of

47
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: twelve on third downs. So Cowboys lose thirty four to

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: twenty six. There's six seven and one. That might be

49
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: cool to the elementary kids and teenagers, but not cool

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: for Cowboys. You know, fandom here that there's you know,

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: hoping that maybe they could find a way to get

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: in here and sneak into the playoffs. It does not

53
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: look like that's going to happen. But we'll see. Sergeant

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: Sue in Fort Worth is first.

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 4: What's up that he's everybody?

56
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 5: How you doing, Nick, hey man? You know, no matter

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 5: how bad things get, I always try to put a

58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 5: little positive spin on it, and I feel like I've

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: kind of created a little character of myself. Everybody knows that.

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 5: But I don't know if I could do that today, Nick,

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 5: If I'm honest, man, I don't know if I do that.

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: I was wondering where we were going with.

63
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: This, Okay, yeah, yeah, no, you know, I try, man,

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 5: I try to be the voice of positivity. I'm in

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 5: all these group chats and I remember the beginning of

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 5: the season. I was saying, you know what, you know,

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: I even talked to freaking Darren Woodson man, and I

68
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 5: was like, hey, there's a transition when you go from

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 5: I discipline from a man, you know, to his own

70
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 5: defense and don't worry about it. Things will start clicking, YadA. Yeah.

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: I can't do it anymore, brother, I just can't. And

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 5: and uh, you know, personnel's not matched it out there

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 5: on defense. You got you know, Malie Hooker trying to cover,

74
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: you know, justin Jefferson in the slot. You have Donovan

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 5: Wilson sorry getting routed up, you know what I mean, Man,

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: the man covers down there. It's just it's just tough, man.

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 5: And it's just really tough.

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: You know.

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 5: You have a you know, a great first to me

80
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: where you go in there, you fresher the quarterback, you

81
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 5: get an interception, you know. And I told the guys,

82
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 5: I was like, it's like it's like Matt ebra Flus

83
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: is on an episode of like Impractical Jokers or something,

84
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 5: and they're telling him like, okay, now stop blitzing, you know,

85
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 5: just to you know, mess with all of us, you know.

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 5: And I don't know man, it's just been really tough. Obviously,

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: you mentioned some of the things offensively. You know, I

88
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: don't know how that can get the ball to Pickens.

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: A lot of people are blaming Pickens for disappearing. I

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 5: don't know how that can get the ball to him

91
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: or anybody.

92
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 6: You know, he didn't have.

93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: A lot of time, you know, So I'm never I

94
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: don't think I've ever done this, genuinely. I'm not the

95
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: type to like to do this, but I'm gonna do it,

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna say, man, it might be time to

97
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: for me to finally give in and say, uh, it's

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 5: time to cut f loose loose man. So appreciate you

99
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 5: so much to take my call. And you know, regardless, Nick,

100
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,960

Speaker 5: anywhere though, Brother, I'm not. And I know that you

108
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: When You're like, it might be time I was like

109
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: to what, like what and then you're okay, change coordinators.

110
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: All right, now, that's that's that's understandable, that's fair. I

111
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: don't know what you were about to say, but now, hey,

Speaker 3: in Northport, Florida.

00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,919

121
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 7: we're not going to be cutting Nick eat many Chris,

122
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 7: thank you, thanks, We got you guys.

123
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: We're hanging on. We're hanging on to the end.

124
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 7: So yes, there, we'll go down with y'all. You know

125
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 7: this is this game was a tail of two defensive coordinators,

126
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 7: and we talked all week about how the Cowboys offense

127
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 7: might have some problems. This is one of the best

128
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 7: defense is one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL.

129
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 7: Their problem was always on offense, and so you know,

130
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 7: you saw a defensive coordinator who did a bunch of

131
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 7: disguising and he wasn't afraid to send the house after Dak,

132
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 7: just down after down for down. And you know that's

133
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 7: against the best quarterback in the league, against the blitz.

134
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 7: So that's a guy who's coaching to I hate to say,

135
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 7: the like to win the game right to He's not

136
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 7: playing scared. Almost feel like when Flu's calls plays, he's

137
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 7: he's scared because you know, the game starts out in

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 7: in you know, we get the defense deflected pass off

139
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 7: of the safety blitz, and then he called six more

140
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 7: blitzes the rest of the game, and it's like, you've

141
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 7: got you've got a young, inexperienced quarterback who is a

142
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 7: mistake prone, has horrible mechanics, and you're just gonna let

143
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 7: him sit there all game, not make him uncomfortable. It

144
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 7: was just like the Brice young thing I know.

145
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: Exactly said that, Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of.

146
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 7: Yep, yeah, I mean it's it's been I'm not I

147
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 7: hate the people. I don't hate anybody, but I hate

148
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 7: when people say it's all Jerry's fault. It's all Shottenheimer's

149
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 7: fault's Whoever's fault. Like he just point out one single

150
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 7: source of all the issues and Flus isn't the source

151
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 7: of every single issue defensively, but he hasn't elevated a

152
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 7: single player to be better than what he is, and

153
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 7: in fact, I think he's made players worse. You're seeing

154
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 7: players have the worst year of their career with like

155
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 7: Bland and and Somebody's safeties and some of these other guys.

156
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 7: You know, you're seeing I don't know what's up with Logan,

157
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 7: Wilson and Murray, but Murray once again is running out

158
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 7: of the lanes to go play, you know, by himself

159
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 7: out on the edge. I mean he's just standing in

160
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 7: space to nothing on the goal line instead of going

161
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 7: and filling the hole with their running back. So it's

162
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 7: just frustrating to watch the kind of the same thing

163
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 7: all season. And I know Flus is a base kind

164
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 7: of guy. Go play cover two, three, four, don't blitz,

165
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 7: But like, at a certain point, you got to recognize

166
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 7: something's not working, dog and you got to make a change.

167
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 7: And I think it's going to be time for the

168
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 7: Cowboys and make a change out of the season unfortunately.

169
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and all right, thanks thanks for the call. You know,

170
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones talks after the game and and he talks,

171
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: you know, to the media, and then he doesn't walk

172
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: off and he keeps talking, and then more people ask questions.

173
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: And so if you sat there the whole time and

174
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: listened to it all, you'd miss the entire locker room.

175
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: So you kind of have to pick your spots. But

176
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: there were some some interesting answers when asked about ebra

177
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: Flus and you know, and the you know, just just

178
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: how much how long he's going to be here, you know,

179
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: and and what his future holds and other coaches, and

180
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: he didn't he didn't give like a you know, solid

181
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: answer of oh, yeah, these guys will be back he

182
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: and nor should he. But he was just like, yeah,

183
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: those are good questions. There's something something to that effect

184
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: of okay, well everything's on the table and it should be. Dylan,

185
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: I think you make really good points as always that

186
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: who who who is has really elevated this year, you know,

187
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: like like with who's played better on defense? Then you

188
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 3: thought like, oh, this guy's better than I thought. I mean, seriously,

189
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: if you really really think about it, you know, you

190
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: can't really say that about rookies, even though as Iraku,

191
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: I think people thought he would be a little better

192
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: than this revel It's still early, you know. But but

193
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: but who I mean is Quinnon Williams playing I mean,

194
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: this is kind of how he plays, right, you know,

195
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: Osa's playing like like he plays maybe a little bit

196
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: better maybe, but you know, Kenny Clark's probably played better

197
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: than this. Dante Fowler certainly has clowney, you know, Clowney's

198
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 3: kind of clowney. You know, he's played this is kind

199
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: of what he's done, but not not to the point

200
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: where anyone's playing better than they've played. Is certainly not

201
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: in the secondary. You know, I know this isn't happening,

202
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: but it does feel like that the three positions linebackers,

203
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: defensive line, and then secondary all kind of do their

204
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: own thing like in meetings, and then when they get

205
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: to the game, let's kind of see how it happens.

206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: It just doesn't seem like those three parts are ever

207
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: on the same page. And you know, and Eberflus was

208
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: supposed to be the linebacker whisperer, you know, and the

209
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: linebackers have been as bad as we've seen around here

210
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: in a long time. Sam and Philly? What's up?

211
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: Hey?

212
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 6: Nick? How you know?

213
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: All right?

214
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 8: Man?

215
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: But I told you I work a night shift. Man,

216
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm staying up here trying to get a

217
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: hold of you here.

218
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

219
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 2: But the can I give you my hypothesis on the

220
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: Trayvon Diggs thing? Because it seems like everybody I listened

221
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: to over there or down there, I should say, I

222
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: don't know if you're not allowed to talk about it,

223
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: or you're not reporting the right thing, or you just

224
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: don't know. Can I just give you what I think

225
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: is going on?

226
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: Sure? I would love.

227
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 9: You know.

228
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: You can't ever they always say you can never predict

229
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 2: a back injury or head injury. So I think now

230
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: since you know they cut his buddy Micah, so they

231
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,479
Speaker 2: you know they weren't he he's already kind of disgruntled

232
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: as you well, that's what you're gonna call it. I

233
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: think he faked the concussion because he put he didn't

234
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: want to put. He knows that this is his last

235
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: year on the team. Everybody knows that, so he doesn't

236
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 2: want to put bad tape out of himself and cost

237
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: himself money because he wasn't agreeing with the defensive philosophy.

238
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: You know, he was getting burnt, you know, game after game,

239
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: and he just decided to I'm going to sit it

240
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: out because I don't like coordinator, I don't like the defense.

241
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't agree with it. I'm a man corner and

242
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to cost myself money. Now they made

243
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: the trades, and well this really doesn't make sense because

244
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: the defense doesn't look that great, but it was rejuvenated

245
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: for a few games there. Now he wants back in

246
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: and we all know that once you cross Jerry, you

247
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: can't and you can't undo that, you know what I mean.

248
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: So I think he's sitting them out on purpose. Now

249
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be able to get back on the

250
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: field and prove yourself for your next contract.

251
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: Hey, there's there sounds like worse philosophies than that, you know.

252
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm.

253
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: Not opposed to make it just makes it makes.

254
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: Sense, No, it's not. It's yeah at this point, and

255
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: that's what.

256
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: Everything that's going on, not giving you any answers, you

257
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And that's what's going on. I

258
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: think they're saying, all right, you want to if you

259
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: want to do that. You want to, you know, quit

260
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: on us, and we're gonna quit on you.

261
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: Hey, Sam, I'm not going to argue with you because

262
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: I I you know what, why not? They haven't told

263
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: us why. So that's what happens when you don't give

264
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: the reason to that. And I'm not saying that we

265
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: deserve that. Thanks, thanks for the call, and thanks for

266
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: the really you know, it's that's well thought out and

267
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: it could be it could you know, you hate for

268
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: that to be, you know, the case, and and there

269
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: could be elements of that that it is true, maybe

270
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: not fully one hundred percent, but there could be parts

271
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: of that. But without a doubt, there's more going on

272
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: here than than we know. And I say it all

273
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 3: the time. I'm like, I'm done talking about it. I'm

274
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: not gonna talk about it. Well, and you know, I'd

275
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: rather not because we don't we don't have the answers

276
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: what I you know. But but there are some things

277
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: happening that that normally don't. And that's what's weird, even

278
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: even more strange about this thing is well, why is

279
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 3: he practicing so much? Then? Why did he practice all week?

280
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: Because if if he's practicing, then someone else isn't and

281
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: the guy that did play in the game did not

282
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: get as many reps. And guess what it showed. So

283
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: what are we doing here? You're gonna play, then play.

284
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: You should practice the guys that are gonna play in

285
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: the game. So was there a setback? Then just say

286
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: there was a setback. He was supposed to play, he practiced,

287
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 3: then there was a setback? Or or or what? And

288
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: why is he talking to the media so much? Like

289
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: why are they making him available? Like it's funny is

290
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: that at times when guys are on injury reserve and

291
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: you try to talk to him and they're like, no,

292
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: wait till they come back. And then now with Diggs,

293
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 3: I mean he's always talking in front of his locker

294
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: for seven minutes. I mean, I don't know. I don't

295
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: get it. It's a head. All I know is that

296
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: there's something else here, something much deeper, and they're not

297
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: saying what it is. So it's leaving Sam and Philly

298
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: and everyone else open to to speculate what it is.

299
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: And maybe that is the case, because at this point

300
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: it's all on the table. But I don't know. I

301
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: know this though, you know what, I'm not gonna say

302
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: Josh Chicago. Josh, isn't it hey man? How are you doing?

303
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 10: Oh?

304
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 11: I'm bummed, you know, a rough one.

305
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

306
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 11: I got not to pile on at the Traylon Diggs thing,

307
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 11: but just kind of what Dylan and UH and Sue

308
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 11: were saying. You know, I just don't get how Murray's

309
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 11: out there in the wrong game and we're being told

310
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 11: Treyvon Diggies doesn't practice. Well, it's like, is Murray practicing?

311
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 11: I just don't get it, you know what I mean? Like,

312
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 11: I agree with you, I really do. For the most part,

313
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 11: trust the coaches, trust their judgment. But it's like I

314
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 11: watched the Detroit game over and Gibbs's biggest plays are

315
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 11: because he's one on one match up against Murray and

316
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 11: Murray's going the wrong way and then he's getting blocked

317
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 11: out of stuff, and it's like, I just don't understand

318
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 11: how Treyvon Diggs can't be on the field and all pro.

319
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 11: And then you have a linebacker who is constantly game

320
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 11: after game in the wrong spot and your defensive coordinator

321
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 11: specialty is linebackers. Yeah, yeah, I mean I called him

322
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 11: the off season. I said, I'm excited about iber Flus

323
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,359
Speaker 11: because maybe he'll get better play out of our linebackers.

324
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 11: And I was wrong.

325
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: Oh we all are that, I mean, yeah, yeah, I

326
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: mean he wanted Murray and Sanborn. He wanted these veteran

327
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: linebackers in here and then over shown. We'll be back

328
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: at some point and we'll see, we'll see what happens

329
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: if he can, you know, take Leaf out to the

330
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: next level. I mean, lea foul second year guy, he

331
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: was supposed to take that leap this year and and

332
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: so yeah, I mean, ID is in the same boat there.

333
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: But I and you just can't defend what's going on

334
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 3: with Murray. I mean it's just no, not at all

335
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: here and you're going there.

336
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 11: I mean, I mean I'd rather see I'd rather see

337
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 11: Lea fou get the reps doing the wrong thing but

338
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 11: getting the game experience and starting. Yeah, yeah, Schamar James, somebody,

339
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 11: I mean even Clark before he was gone. But to

340
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 11: see a veteran who's had the chances and the opportunities

341
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 11: continue to make the mistakes, it just questions my whole thing.

342
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 11: And I don't like calling for somebody's job, you know

343
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 11: it is it's you know, it's the GM's choice on that.

344
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 11: But what I will say is, you know that fourth

345
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 11: and three, you've been blitzing all like the blitzers have

346
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 11: been working game and it's fourth and three and you

347
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 11: send a three man rush and they get a twenty

348
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 11: yard pass, Like that was a game to me, that

349
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 11: that moment in the third quarter, that was the game

350
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 11: that was, Hey, we're not going to be able to

351
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 11: do anything here.

352
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was one of the five plays that I

353
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: did pick out because you know, it's fourth down and

354
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: I think you're up at that point, and you know,

355
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: if you can get the ball, you get to stop there,

356
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: get the ball and then you know, if anything, get

357
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: another field goal.

358
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 9: You know.

359
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: But but yeah, that was that was a huge And

360
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 3: you're right, he just felt so comfortable and it's like,

361
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 3: you know, there's times where he wasn't comfortable and it showed,

362
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: and then times when he's standing back there. I mean,

363
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 3: it's just I know, you can't blitz every play, but

364
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: he could blitz more than what six times seven times,

365
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: especially when when you saw some really good plays out

366
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: of it, when when it was happening early on.

367
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 11: You know, I got just two more things for you

368
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 11: real quick. One CDs are number one. Man, just he's

369
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 11: just Yeah, he wears AD eight for a reason. Man,

370
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 11: the legacy. He's the guy. That's how I feel about him.

371
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 11: I hope we resigned Pickens, but I don't want to

372
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 11: break the bank on him. That's just how I feel

373
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 11: about him. And then the other thing is, man, we

374
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 11: haven't heard from our guy Jeremy and DC for a while.

375
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 11: So you know, are you staying out of trouble?

376
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 8: You hurt anybody?

377
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're doing well.

378
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: Man, I appreciate it. Yeah, I think he called not

379
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: too long ago. So yeah, I'm staying out of trouble,

380
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: I think. So just don't ask me about Treyvon Diggs

381
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: anymore because that's probably going to get me in trouble

382
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: because well maybe not, because I don't know. I mean,

383
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: we really don't. We don't know anything. It's just weird.

417
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: here all right talking Cowboys and Vikings. Thirty four to

418
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 3: twenty six lost. Cowboys dropped six to seven and one,

419
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 3: three games to go, and they're not officially out of anything,

420
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: but certainly doesn't look good. I'm gonna take a Christmas

421
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 3: miracle here, especially with the Eagles. To win the division,

422
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to lose all three and Cowboys have

423
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: to win all three. So don't see any of those

424
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 3: scenarios happening with based off the schedule and how things

425
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 3: are playing and the level of consistency that it takes

426
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 3: for the Cowboys for them to win three straight games.

427
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: Don't see that happening. Definitely don't see the Eagles losing three,

428
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: especially after what they did against the Raiders. Yeah it

429
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: was the Raiders, but they've got Washington twice in the bills,

430
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: so we'll see. Can't worry about all that. Just gotta

431
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: go play it out, all right. Next is Rob in Vegas.

432
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 15: Hey, Nick, hi, Rob.

433
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 16: You know, we could jump on Flue all we want,

434
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 16: but I can't put all the blame on him or

435
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 16: the defense for this game. They did what they do.

436
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 16: They gave up. You know, you got kids. When my

437
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 16: kids were in school, my daughter was great in school,

438
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 16: she loved it. My son was like, I'm just going

439
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 16: because I have to. So when the report card came

440
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 16: and he did what he normally does and gets sees,

441
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 16: I'm like, all right, well, my daughter would get straight a's,

442
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 16: so if she came home with something other than that,

443
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 16: I'd be like, what the hell happened?

444
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: Right?

445
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 16: That's how I look, Yeah, that's that's how I look

446
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 16: at Dallas. The offense. You knew going in your defense

447
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 16: is bad, and you know what they did exactly what

448
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 16: they did. They held them to. They give up about

449
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 16: thirty and late in the fourth quarter. That's where they

450
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 16: were the offense is the one that struggled. Third down

451
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 16: was horrendous, red zone was bad.

452
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: That's a great analogy, by the way, it really is

453
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 3: because and I've kind of used one similar to that.

454
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 3: It's very it's very good because it's like, are you

455
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 3: blaming your daughter? You're not, I mean, because you're just

456
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: you're just holding on to a higher standard.

457
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 16: Right, You're exactly you're disappointed.

458
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like Robert's missing field goals. I mean, like I remember,

459
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 3: I remember Billy kind of setting the Cowboys record for

460
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: a fifty six stard field goal. Like I remember when

461
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 3: he did it, and it was the Cowboys record. And

462
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 3: now when Aubrey missus a fifty nine You're like, what's

463
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: what's wrong?

464
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 15: Okay?

465
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 16: Totally? And I mean and Chris Collins word says a

466
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 16: good lesson, and I agree with him. He goes shot.

467
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 16: He plays for these long fielders sometimes too much, and

468
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 16: he does. I mean, we're spoiled. When he missed the

469
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 16: fifty nine yard We're like, what the hell? Yeah, you know,

470
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 16: but that's how I looked at it. Now I look

471
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 16: at Fluse and I say, well, I can't let him.

472
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 16: We're shot. He shot, he's his boss. But is he

473
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 16: is he his boss because he didn't make the higher

474
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 16: So that's the problem I have with when you have

475
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 16: Jerry involved, and I know we go back and forth,

476
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 16: but we want to maximize Dak. Everybody's talking about doing

477
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 16: that because let's say you got two more years or whatever. Well,

478
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 16: you brought in an apprentice as a head coach, which

479
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 16: probably wasn't the best move when you could have got

480
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 16: proven guys like a Vrabel or look at what Sean

481
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 16: Payton is doing in Denver. You had opportunities to get

482
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 16: guys like that. With the Pickens thing, I'm sorry, I can't.

483
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 16: Pickens is a luxury this team can't affords. He's like,

484
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 16: you know, you just want to buy a sports car

485
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 16: because you want to have some fun. You can't. You

486
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 16: can't do it. You have to take the money you're

487
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 16: going to allocate to him, which is let's just say

488
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 16: thirty million. You need to put that into the defense

489
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 16: and get a tackle. I don't care which one you

490
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 16: want to get. You want to move guy in the

491
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 16: right tackle or keep them out left tip. You got

492
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 16: to get a tackle, but you got to get playmakers

493
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 16: on defense, especially I could rush the quarterback as much

494
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 16: as I like pickings, I just can't afford him.

495
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 4: I don't.

496
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 16: It doesn't move the needle. And the perfect example is

497
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 16: this year you have two wide receivers that aret top

498
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 16: of the league. You finally got a running back and

499
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 16: you got six wins, and you got a quarterback playing

500
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 16: top top five, And what does it give you? Six wins?

501
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 16: And how many wins do they have last year without

502
00:24:53,119 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 16: that seven? So the way the team is constructed is bad.

503
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 16: And I don't know if Jerry wants to fix it,

504
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 16: because he does like the flash, and unfortunately you're gonna

505
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 16: have to get rid of some of the flash and go,

506
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 16: you know, build the trenches, do the ugly stuff. But

507
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 16: until they do that, they're not win him.

508
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 3: All right, Rob, good call?

509
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 10: Uh?

510
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 3: You know the picking situation is is uh is up?

511
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: It's up for grabs at this point. I mean, it

512
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: really is. I mean because I think, you know, two

513
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: or three weeks ago it was no brainer. But now, yeah,

514
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's some definitely some some questions there

515
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 3: on on you know, to allocate that those funds and

516
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 3: and can you afford to do that? And and you know,

517
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: bringing them back? What is it? What does it bring

518
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: you what does it get you?

519
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 4: So?

520
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think if your offensive line is

521
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: patched up, I mean I'd rather, I'd rather. I think

522
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: I'd rather have a left tackle that I can count on,

523
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: you know, or you know, young offensive line. And the

524
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: offensive line is going to continue to get better. And

525
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: I think the interior of it is good.

526
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 6: Uh.

527
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 3: I think Booker and BB and those guys are gonna

528
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: be gonna be good. I mean with Tyler Smith too.

529
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 3: I mean I think the three of them there. But

530
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: but still got to figure out the tackle situation. Uh.

531
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: I like, I like that what you said about it's

532
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: just a luxury that they probably can't afford. But you know,

533
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: he's gotta he's got to do his part too. I mean,

534
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: it's not just you know, it's it's it's not I mean,

535
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 3: I know, you can't just run down the field, and

536
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 3: you know at times you've got to You've got to,

537
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: you know, come back to the ball and and and

538
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: I still think the Cowboys should have tried more to

539
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 3: get him. Get him the ball like deep and even

540
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: if it if it's covered or it looks like it's covered,

541
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: take a shot, take a shot to go up there.

542
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 3: And and and and make a play because you know

543
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. He's probably gonna catch it thirty

544
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: forty percent of the time. The other thirty percent of

545
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: the time is going to be a past interference. So

546
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: I don't think it's I think it's better than fifty

547
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 3: to fifty. I think getting the ball to where you

548
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 3: throw it is probably a seventy thirty and for me,

549
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 3: and it's a big chunk play. I'd like to see

550
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 3: that happen a little bit more. All right, Albert in Tucson,

551
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 3: Arizona's next Albert Nick? My man, how you doing?

552
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 6: The real answer?

553
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Really? Really? How you doing?

554
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 6: Man? I got my Cowboys blues on no no logos,

555
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 6: but I got them, and I'm feeling exactly that way.

556
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 6: But I don't know if I'm so much p o

557
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if I can say it on air,

558
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 6: but sure pissed off at our defense. When you know

559
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 6: we win out say the football gods give us the opportunity.

560
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 6: The Eagles lose two games, we win the division. But

561
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 6: now it's like what to play for? Should Milton be

562
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 6: the starting QB the next three games? Should we just

563
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 6: tank it and see what we get with our two picks.

564
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 6: It's just right now, it hurts really the most, I

565
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 6: think out of all the losses that we have, because

566
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 6: there was so much writing on this game and you

567
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 6: lose to a less than mediocre team, you know, and

568
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 6: it's I think it's time that we really really show

569
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 6: you guys how pissed off we are. But anyway, it

570
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 6: was a good season. Thank you for everything. And I

571
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 6: think the producer extrad and there in the back and

572
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 6: Ride or die Go Cowboys, right.

573
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: Well, uh yeah, I mean I get it. I'm not gonna,

574
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: like we say it all the time. I'm not gonna

575
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: tell anybody how to fan and what to do if

576
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: this is it for for y'all, you know, as far

577
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: as you know, investing the time and all that, I

578
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: get it. I mean, I don't under I don't agree necessarily.

579
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: You know, that's just kind of what I am. You know,

580
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: I like football. I like watching games, and whether you're

581
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 3: in it or out, you know, I'm gonna watch the team.

582
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: But this is our job too, so this is what

583
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: we do. But you know, I mean, as far as

584
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: you know, Monday goes and Monday after a loss like that, sure,

585
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you there's a lot of people saying that.

586
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that are like, all right, well,

587
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: then so much for the season. We'll see, we'll see

588
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: what happens next year, you know. And that's probably the

589
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: case until about Thursday or Friday, and then you're let's

590
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: see what happens. I'm I'm gonna watch it, just see,

591
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: you know. And that's what that's what this team does,

592
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: that's what the sports does. Really, so I get it.

593
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna hold anybody for what they say today.

594
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: And I mean, there's nothing wrong with what Albert said.

595
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: I mean it's like, hey, right or die. But he's

596
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: pissed off, he's frustrated. He should be. It's you know,

597
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 3: but saying that, like you lost to a mediocre team, well,

598
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are. That's what the Cowboys are. You know that.

599
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: At halftime, I knew this game was going to be

600
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: really close. This is gonna come down to it. I

601
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 3: don't really know who's better, you know, it's even and

602
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. Who makes plays in the second half,

603
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 3: and the Cowboys didn't make enough for them or really

604
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: any at all. All right, let's go to Josh and Princeton, Texas.

605
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how you doing. I'm doing good. So so

606
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 9: yesterday I was pretty upset. It was my birthday and

607
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 9: I was just up there upstairs soaking. But then something

608
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 9: dawned on me and I just thought about it, and

609
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 9: I was just like, I mean, this is who the

610
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 9: Cowboys have been all season, and if you think about it,

611
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 9: like if they just so happened to make it to

612
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 9: the playoffs, I mean, do we actually expect them to

613
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 9: make noise or do anything? So, I mean the record,

614
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 9: I feel like they're here right where they belong. As

615
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 9: far as the record and how everything has played out,

616
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 9: I mean, you lost every phase of the game. You

617
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 9: got out coached by Flores and Kevin O'Connell and then

618
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 9: special teams. I'm not going to harp on Brandon Aubrey,

619
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 9: he was due to miss so but then the one

620
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 9: return you got from Turfman got negated by Timody, so

621
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 9: you really didn't win any phase of the game. So

622
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 9: I'm not upset. I mean I got over it, and

623
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 9: I mean I'm just gonna be here for the ride

624
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 9: and she can build momentum for next season.

625
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what you you know, I agree with that.

626
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: You know, I.

627
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: Think this team does need to continue to try to

628
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: get better and grow and all those things. And you know,

629
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: I'm not playing the backup quarterback. No, I mean unless

630
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: unless you have to or need to. But no, I

631
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: mean I'm playing. I'm playing Dak all the way through it.

632
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 3: And that's what he said. I mean, that's what he

633
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: said last night. Let's see if the Cowboys think the

634
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 3: same way. But you know, though, all right, Josh, you

635
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: got anything else or we'll keep it moving. You good?

636
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I'm good.

637
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: All right, good to hear from you, And thanks for calling.

638
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: You know, they they're not I mean, the best way

639
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: for them to win the division, I mean, to get

640
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: in the playoffs is to win the division. They gotta

641
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: win three the last three games, and then Philly has

642
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 3: to lose them all. So and and the Cowboys play

643
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: Sunday at noon, and Philly plays Saturday against Washington. So

644
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 3: you know, the division could be out of your hands

645
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: before you even play again. I don't think technically they

646
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: will be eliminated from the playoffs, but you know, it's

647
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: it's it's probably a miracle at this point. So and

648
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: like I said, winning the division is the best way,

649
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: So that actually could be off the table, and then

650
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: after that it would just be all these crazy wild

651
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: card scenarios that you know probably could also be eliminated

652
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: by the time you know that game is over Sunday,

653
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: so you know the playoffs, I mean, not the cue

654
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: of the Jim Mora, you know, press conference, but it's

655
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 3: that's kind of what it looks like and feels like

656
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: at this point, because you know you're not beating the

657
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: average teams. You know, you're you're you beat the Eagles,

658
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: you know you're down twenty one, nothing came back and

659
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: won that game. Kansas City's not good. I mean they're

660
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: they're not a good team, and so you beat them,

661
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: but they're they're showing what they are. They're not They're

662
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 3: not good this year, and so that's kind of it's

663
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: all these teams, you know, Cowboys, Vikings, close games and

664
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 3: you know they could maybe win if they lined up

665
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: and did it again. But I think you're seeing, you know,

666
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: right now, this is the type of your time of

667
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: the year. The cream rises to the top, and you

668
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: know the Cowboys wouldn't go beat Seattle or the Rams

669
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 3: or you know, we saw what they did to Detroit

670
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: and all that. You know, those teams are are better

671
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: and so they face the you know, the the Bears,

672
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: and early week three, the Bears are probably way better

673
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: than they are now, and that wasn't close then. So

674
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 3: I just think, you know, getting to the playoffs would

675
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 3: probably just you know, it wouldn't wouldn't be great. But

676
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 3: but you want to you know, that's the goal, that's

677
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 3: the goal to see. But I think we all know

678
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say. I think we all know that,

679
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 3: you know, the Cowboys just aren't good enough. They're not

680
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 3: good enough this year. So you can try to get

681
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 3: on the run and get there, but I don't think

682
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 3: they're good enough. Let's go to Brian in Kansas City. Brian,

683
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: what's up.

684
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 10: Man, Good morning, sir.

685
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 3: How are you man? It's been a little bit.

686
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, the way, I got some life challenges and it

687
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 10: hasn't been hasn't been in the cards for me to

688
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 10: be able to work this in. But I just got

689
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 10: off the treadmill, looked and saw what time it was

690
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 10: with the TV on, and say, hey, got a chance,

691
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 10: got a chance.

692
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: So I'm good to hear from you, man. I mean,

693
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 3: you're you're one of the staples of this show, and

694
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 3: I obviously got to take care of what's going on there.

695
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 3: But but anytime you can get in, man, we'd love

696
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: to hear from you. Glad that you've called.

697
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 10: Thanks Nick, I really appreciate that and appreciate Chris. So,

698
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 10: you know, in watching this game last night, and you know,

699
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 10: I was thinking of you know, unit cohesion and the

700
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 10: spree de corps are really hard things. They're kind of intangibles, right,

701
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 10: It's it's difficult to figure out what makes that happen.

702
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 10: You know, what what made the Cowboys gel in the

703
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 10: in the seventies and in the nineties, and what was

704
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 10: the magic sauce? Right at this point, I think, you know,

705
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 10: we we were in that stage of the game of

706
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 10: the season where we've got to figure out what we

707
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 10: have as we're moving forward. So I agree with not tanking,

708
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 10: which I don't want to go out there and just

709
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 10: put all the backup in and and just say, hey,

710
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 10: we don't want Dak to get hurt, so we're not

711
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 10: going to play him. But what I do want to

712
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 10: see is what do we have. There's a few key

713
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 10: positions and everybody's talked about them all morning, you know, linebacker,

714
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 10: defensive back, offensive tackle. We need to know what we have, right,

715
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 10: We've got to figure it out for going forward. So

716
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 10: I'd like to see one or two key changes and

717
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 10: just pick them whatever it is. Hey, you know what,

718
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 10: we don't know if Logan Wilson is better than Murray.

719
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 10: Just put him out there and let's find out in

720
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 10: the next three games. We don't know if Nate Thomas

721
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 10: or Dynegy or whomever might be better than what we

722
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 10: have now. But pick one of them and just put

723
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 10: them out there and let's see what we have, not

724
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 10: guess going into the draft and into the offseason. That's

725
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 10: just my thought. Of course, it's possible, but you know,

726
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 10: I think we all look at it. I don't. I

727
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 10: didn't look to see what the odds dipped to after

728
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 10: the after the game, but I'm sure that it's a

729
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 10: very slight possibility. Now, Yeah, let's figure out what we

730
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 10: have and let's build the team and see what we

731
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 10: have going forward. Man, Hey, it's really good to talk

732
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 10: to you today.

733
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian, and callback when when when you can.

734
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: That's the case for everybody, you know, and we totally

735
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: understand that that. You know, it's not easy, it's not

736
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: easily doing the show that you know, being a part

737
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 3: of the show, you know, because it's not like you

738
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 3: just pick up the phone call and get in. It's

739
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 3: you know, you got a call back and call back

740
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 3: and if you really want, you know, and it's hard

741
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: to listen while you're doing that. And I get it.

742
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 3: And and this show is made up of you guys,

743
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: and and Brian is one of them, and so it

744
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: takes people that are committed to it. And I'm totally

745
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: appreciative of that. And we don't have to share the

746
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: same thoughts and opinions all the time, you know, but

747
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: I think everyone shares the same path you know about

748
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: about this team and the organization and the frustration and

749
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: when they don't win and the excitement when they do

750
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: and and all that. And that's kind of kind of

751
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: what what bonds everyone together, even though they have different

752
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 3: outlooks on it. So anyways, what Brian said is is

753
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 3: I really agree with you know. I mean, there's a

754
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: there's a there's an in between here. You know, you

755
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 3: don't have to tank the season. You still play the

756
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: best guys for the most part. But if if it

757
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 3: is close and you do have a guy that's younger

758
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 3: and and you haven't hasn't played a lot. I mean,

759
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,160

Speaker 7: You remember me?

814
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 16: Last week was the first That was the first time.

815
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so now I'm a second

816
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 4: time caller.

817
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 2: It's all because I.

818
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 4: Always watch read your articles and always on the website

819
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 4: and listen to your shows. But I was always on

820
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 4: first shift, so I was never able to call in.

821
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: So that's why all of a sudden, I'm calling in

822
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 4: all the time.

823
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 15: You're like my second best friend. Now, all right, but anyway, yeah,

824
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 15: but anyway, I agree with so much that everybody was

825
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 15: saying throughout your show this morning, and and I read

826
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 15: your article as always, and I was glad that you

827
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 15: put in there about the field goals because I hit

828
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 15: hard on that last week with the Lions game, where

829
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 15: we you know, like I said, I'm old school, I'm

830
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 15: always for take the points.

831
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 4: But my whole point is like, we're not converted on

832
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 4: third downs, right. It's like once we get past past

833
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 4: the fifty yard line, all of a sudden, we get

834
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 4: a little conservative and we're not taking the shots. You know.

835
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: It's like we had two of.

836
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 4: The great receivers in the NFL, a great tight end,

837
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 4: and it's like, why are we not at least taking

838
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 4: shots at times? I mean we do once in a while,

839
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 4: but not enough in my opinion. But it's like again,

840
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 4: in the Lions game, we attempted five field goals. Last

841
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 4: night's game, we attempted six field goals. That's eleven field goals,

842
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: and we only had four touchdowns. I mean, not just

843
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 4: ain't going to cut it, man, We got it. We

844
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 4: got to score more touchdowns. So I was glad that

845
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 4: you pointed that out also in your articles.

846
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 17: Yeah.

847
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm fine most of the time with kicking

848
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 3: field goals. If that's the smart play. But right, but

849
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 3: you know, I think what they feel like is is

850
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 3: field goal range is probably not necessarily the right call.

851
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 3: You know, you shouldn't be taking sacks right forty yard

852
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 3: line and now you've now you've made it a fifty

853
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 3: nine yard or so a little too comfortable there. And

854
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: you know, as someone pointed out, Aubrey was bound the

855
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 3: miss and he did.

856
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, absolutely, And you know, and as far as

857
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 4: this coaching stuff goes, I mean yeah, I mean, Ebra

858
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: f Flus was good when he was with the Colts

859
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 4: and stuff. I mean, I do I know, I do know. Man,

860
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 4: we are a mess on defense, absolutely, and I don't

861
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 4: know if he's all to blame. I mean, I haven't

862
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 4: heard anybody really say anything about Shottenheimer. He's on known

863
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 4: as well. I mean, he's been in a coaching offensive

864
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 4: assistant or offensive coordinator for like thirty years in the NFL,

865
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 4: and he was never a head coach before. Is there

866
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 4: a reason why, you know, I mean, that's a long

867
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 4: time to be in the NFL and never having a

868
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 4: whole head coaching job before. I believe he was considered

869
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 4: like two other times in the past but didn't get

870
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 4: the positions and that makes me wonder too, I mean,

871
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 4: is there something there? And you know he didn't have

872
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 4: the opportunity before and uh, you know, just the thought

873
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 4: I was throwing out there, what do you think of that?

874
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 3: Well, I'll talk about being you know, like the opportunities

875
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: that he's gotten.

876
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's far as Shottenheimer more so shot Aheim because

877
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 4: I know, like Eberflus was was successful as a defensive

878
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 4: coordinator before. But Shottenheimer, like I said, he's been he's

879
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: been a coach for a long time in the NFL

880
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 4: and never never was got a head coach job and

881
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 4: only was considered twice in thirty years. And he said,

882
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 4: there's so what's your thoughts on that? Do you think

883
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 4: maybe he isn't he's part of the problem that.

884
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, no, no, sorry, I I understand your point.

885
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not agreeing with with that party. But

886
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 3: all right, think, thanks Stan, thanks for the call. I

887
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 3: think I think Schottenheimer is going to be okay, you know,

888
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 3: as as and I know that that's not necessarily the

889
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 3: goal and it'd be better than that, you know, as

890
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 3: a first year coach. And you know again, uh, wise

891
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 3: man told me a long time ago. Sometimes things are

892
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 3: not it's not an excuse, it's a reason. Okay, So

893
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to make excuses for this team. But

894
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,479
Speaker 3: when you put your best player and move him over

895
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 3: here off the team and what you've got in return,

896
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 3: for the most part is is not we haven't even

897
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 3: seen yet, then it is hard to evaluate. I mean,

898
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 3: it's hard to evaluate what what they what he is,

899
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 3: you know, because this team needed Mike Caparsons. There's no

900
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: doubt that they needed hearts with the offense the way

901
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: it is, they needed a guy that they could come

902
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 3: in there and and make plays on defense and get

903
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 3: off the field and give some pressure and maybe some turnovers.

904
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 3: And they didn't have it, and so they they you know,

905
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 3: so it's really tough to evaluate everything that's happened this

906
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 3: year because of that. But I think Schottenheimer, you know,

907
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: what you also want is as a leader of men,

908
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 3: and I think he does that. But but they've they've

909
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: got to figure out, you know, this coaching staff and

910
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball, like you said, stand

911
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 3: it is a mess, and and they're just not on

912
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: the same page. And and the players that are out there,

913
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: you know, just nobody's had a great year on defense,

914
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 3: so I don't know they they got a lot of

915
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 3: problems to to to fix there. And then that goes

916
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: back to the offense. Can you afford to to pay

917
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 3: George Pickens the kind of money to be your second

918
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 3: receiver knowing that your defense is you know, needs so

919
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 3: much help and your offensive line still needs some help too.

920
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 3: All right, last caller will be Sebastian. We're we try

921
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: to get it in real quick.

927
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 8: are called in. This is the best year for storyline

928
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,880

933
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 8: happens with the season, it is whatever. Clearly I'm not

949
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 3: that football is not important. This is what we do,

950
