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 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: What is up? Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline.

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman. Thursday, January the eleventh, just a few

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: days away from the game we all care about Cowboys

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: and Packers in the Wildcard Round at AT and T Stadium.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: You know, I really hate calling it the wildcard round.

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,479
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
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: the wildcard round. I wish they would call it something different.

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what. Just seems like it's the first

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, but it's just wildcard round. It's like, yeah,

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: but they're on a wild car But anyways, I don't know.

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: That's why. That's always kind of bothered me a little bit.

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: But doesn't matter. This is the one that that matters

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: is this game coming up Cowboys and Packers. We'll talk

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: a little bit about it. I know the calls the

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: last few days have been you can tell there's that excitement,

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: that anxiousness, if you will, about the game, but and

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: also about what this could mean, just how how exciting

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: it is. Because the Cowboys have a lot of things

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: in front of them, but it seems like every time

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: there's a call or two about that, there's another one

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: that stops and says, whoa, whoa, whoa hold up? Hold up?

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: You know, don't don't look past this one. And no

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: one's really looking past this one. I think everyone's just

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: so excited for it to get here and see what happens,

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: all right. Eight eight eight eight five five two two

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: nine seven is the number two call? You can text

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: us eight one seven. You can text us, uh eight

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: one seven. There it is two nine zero three two

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: nine eight. I got to get that one memorized. Let's

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: get to the phone line. Let'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
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: How you doing?

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 4: I'm great, I'm super excited. And I keep hearing this

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: that everything feels different this year, and I feel myself

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 4: I'm not near as anxious as I am excited. So uh,

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: it's it's it's a better feeling going into the playoffs.

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I'm it is a different feeling.

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 5: You know.

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: It is different. Every year is different in its own way,

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, this one is this one does

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: feel a little bit different. It won't matter if if

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: they don't play well and they lose it, it won't matter

51
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: what the feeling is. But as it stands right now,

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: it does it does feel a little bit different.

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: All right, I've got a question and then a comment.

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 4: The question is more NFL related overall. It seems like

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 4: I was looking for the playoff schedule the Saturday night

56
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: with the Chiefs and Dolphins, and I couldn't find it

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 4: on regular broadcast TV, and I looked in its streaming only.

58
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: Am I correct about it?

59
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 6: Yeah?

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Peacock, Yeah yeah, I believe. Well, yeah, you got to

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: get Peacock and the NBC streaming service.

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, yeah, okay, And I'm just old school.

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: It just seems seems strange to me that you have

64
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: to go that route. But anyway, the time I have

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: is the fact that up until this year, it seems

66
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: like if a big name player went out, everybody just

67
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: freaked out, lost confidence. Oh my gosh, what are we

68
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: going to do and never a whole let down. But

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: this year feels a lot different. It feels like everybody

70
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: just pulls together. Next man up. You know what you've

71
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: always heard, but it wasn't always so with the Cowboys.

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: What what's your what's your thought on that? What's changed?

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: Well? Thank you, thank you for the call, uh Tyrone.

74
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,000
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
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: Every team UH has to deal with it. And it

77
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: depends on who you have and who you have behind him.

78
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,840
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
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,040
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 Dearn Bland. I mean, Diggs is great,

82
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Gilmore is really really good too, but the best best

83
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: one we have is Duran Bland. And as as surprising

84
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: as that was, I was like, oh, that's interesting. That's

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

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

87
00:04:58,160 --> 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: Deron Bland that's that's ready to take over and there

89
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: wasn't much of a drop off, and then and then

90
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, late in Vanderesh, there was a drop off there,

91
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: but they were able to kind of piece it together.

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: So they've you know, and then you know, knock on wood,

93
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: they haven't had a lot of other injuries like that

94
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: on offense, you know, offensive line in Arizona that was

95
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: a problem, but they were able to pick it up

96
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: against Washington and and and and and not be the case.

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: So I just think it's a it's a it's a

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: case of having you know, good backups, good coaching and

99
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: and everyone kind of buying into the system. And but

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, they've had some key injuries, but they've also

101
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: been rather fortunate too as well. All Right, Gary in

102
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: New Mexico, next caller, Hey, Nick, how you doing good? Gary?

103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: How are you?

104
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 7: I'm good? I got some playoff trivia for you to

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 7: all right, all right, the Cowboys have had six quarterbacks

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 7: in their history that have won a playoff.

107
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Game on the road on the road. Okay, but are.

108
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 7: Those six of those six quarterbacks? How many have won

109
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 7: more than one playoff game on the road.

110
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: M all right, So we've got Dak and White, Danny

111
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: White and Berline and Aikman and stallback and I'm missing

112
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: one maybe Cigg Morton. Craig Morton. Okay, so then how

113
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: many how many have won more than one?

114
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 7: Only one?

115
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Uh, it's not It wouldn't be Aikman and it wouldn't

116
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: be Burdline, and it would I don't think it's Danny

117
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: White either, is cig.

118
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 7: Got the no, no, no, no, Only one quarterback in

119
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 7: couple of histories won more than one road playoff game.

120
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 8: This is a slam.

121
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: Dunk Stawa stop.

122
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's Roger Stalbinch. And here's the here's the cool

124
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 7: thing about that, because Roger Staubach's poster that I had

125
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 7: 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 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 7: was my guy. And he's wearing the royal blue jersey

129
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 7: the old worlds. Oh yeah, it's just sweet. Anyway, So

130
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 7: Roger Staubach was five and one on the road in

131
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 7: the playoffs.

132
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: Nice, he only.

133
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 7: Lost one game on the road in the playoffs, and

134
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 7: that included two NFC Championship wins. But anyway, yeah, and

135
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 7: that just goes to show you how hard it is

136
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 7: to do. Yeah, that's hard to win on the road

137
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 7: in the playoffs, and we don't have to worry.

138
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: You're right. I was kind of I was kind of asking,

139
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: like why you asking this question?

140
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 7: Like, no, no, because remember I call last week, let

141
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 7: the cake bake.

142
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 6: Let the cake bake.

143
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 7: Well, the cake smells pretty good right about now?

144
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, it does, and you got to do

145
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 6: now is decorated?

146
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Decorated? All right? I like it.

147
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 7: Put the frost thing on. That's why I think the

148
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 7: Cowboy you wrote a good article about why this season

149
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 7: feels a little bit different, and that Washington game felt

150
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 7: a little bit different. They had to overcome some adversity

151
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 7: in the first part of that game, they had to

152
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 7: overcome losing both of their starting guards, and yet they

153
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 7: went out there and did not lay down for they

154
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 7: were playing to win that game, and Dallas just went

155
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 7: out there and they seized it. They took it, and

156
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 7: that's why it feels different. But here's my reason they

157
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 7: can do something special this year. Of all the teams

158
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 7: in the playoffs, Dallas is the only team with a

159
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 7: top five offense, a top five defense, and a top

160
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 7: five 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
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 7: and I think Mike McCarthy has a lot to do

163
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 7: with that. Seedee Lamb is on a different planet. And

164
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 7: this is the question I have for you, because I've

165
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 7: been concerned about the running game all year, but when

166
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 7: I looked at it, when I looked at the stats

167
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 7: this week, they're running games not horrible. I mean, their

168
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 7: top three rushers all average four yards of carrier better

169
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 7: Pollard squeaked over a thousand yards. Their running game is adequate.

170
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 7: So my question to you is do you think their

171
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 7: running game is good enough? If Dak and everybody else

172
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 7: are doing their thing, do you think their running game

173
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 7: is good enough to carry them through to a Super Bowl?

174
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call. No, I don't think

175
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: their running game is good enough to carry them to

176
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I don't think though, and I don't

177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: know if you do either. But since that's how you

178
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: worded it, that's how I'm going to answer it. Do

179
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: I think the running game is adequate enough? Yes? And

180
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: I think the problems are is when it gets to

181
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: this team can throw the ball all over the yard.

182
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Look at the stats. The stats are ridiculous this year,

183
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: especially the way here in the second half of the season.

184
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: The connection that Dak has with CD Ferguson cooks those guys.

185
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: It's really turned in the corner. You get a game

186
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: where it's tougher to throw. Buffalo was one of them.

187
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: Of course, Miami kind of a little bit with the

188
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 1: rain and wet ball there a little bit, but then

189
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: you have to kind of lean on the running game

190
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more. That's where I think it's a

191
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a problem. But when your running game

192
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: just has to be complementary to a stellar path, then yes,

193
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: I think it's good enough. So when you think about

194
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: the chance of playing a home game here got to win.

195
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: If you do, you get another home game. You gotta win.

196
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: If you do, then you get a home game, or

197
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: you go to San Francisco, and I think from a

198
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: weather standpoint, you should be fine there to do what

199
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: you do best. So I think the running game is

200
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: good enough to compliment a passing game that shouldn't be

201
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: compromised in the playoffs. That's what I think, all right.

202
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: Gabe in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hey, Hey, Nick, what's up? Gabe,

203
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: how you doing.

204
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 8: I'm good.

205
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 6: How are you?

206
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: First time caller?

207
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 8: First time caller?

208
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Go, Let's do it.

209
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 8: That's great. I'm excited at Rocky Top. That's right, Go

210
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 8: Rocky Top.

211
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: I don't know about go Rocky Top. I just like

212
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: the song, actually I do. I like that song. So

213
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: what's up.

214
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 8: It's a good song. Well, first, I just want to

215
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 8: say I appreciate you. I think you really eximplify what

216
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 8: it means to be a fan of the Cowboys for us,

217
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 8: you know, thank you Steady always support, you know, supporting

218
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 8: the team. I'm always excited, and so I appreciate that.

219
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 8: I think you know, a good a good model for Cowboys,

220
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 8: not reactionary.

221
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: I have my days. I have my days. But but

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: but that's what so do y'all. I mean, that's what

223
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: the fans you know do. I mean, ultimately, we're here.

224
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: You know, you're not going anywhere. It's just that, uh yeah,

225
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, you have your moments where you're kind of

226
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: up and down a little bit.

227
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 8: But right, we're all human.

228
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 6: Right.

229
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 8: But and then I just want to say, I really

230
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 8: think we're gonna we're just gonna beat the Packers bad.

231
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 8: I think it's they're going to be just deflated. They're

232
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 8: not going to have energy by halftime. We're just going

233
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 8: to run them out of AT and T and uh.

234
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 8: I think Dak is the main reason behind that. He's

235
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 8: laser focused right now. He's playing his best football and

236
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 8: a big reason why, I think is because he's supported

237
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 8: by Mike McCarthy. You can tell just by some of

238
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 8: the calls coach McCarthy is making, you know, like like,

239
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 8: I mean, we obviously disagree with passing it in some

240
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 8: of the situations that he has, especially late late in

241
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 8: the game in Detroit, but like we said, it's because

242
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 8: he has full faith and what Dak's doing and so

243
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 8: and then I just had a question about the offensive line. Obviously,

244
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 8: we saw brock Hoffman TJ. Bass playing really well in Washington,

245
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 8: and I mean it was against the Washington football team,

246
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 8: you know, if you want to call him the football team,

247
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 8: but it's still a professional NFL football team and they

248
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 8: were trying to win the game and they played really well.

249
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 8: So if we get into a scenario where which it's

250
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 8: happened in the past, Tyron Smith isn't able to play

251
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 8: for whatever reason, I'm not trying to jinx anything, right

252
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 8: or if Tyler Smith isn't playing up to, you know,

253
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 8: the standard we want in a left guard. What are

254
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 8: we looking at in terms of what you think they

255
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 8: might do in terms of brock Off and TJ. Bass.

256
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 8: Let's say Tyron Smith goes down. Are they moving Tyler

257
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 8: Smith out to left this year?

258
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: Are you talking about this year in the playoffs?

259
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 9: Right? Right?

260
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 8: If something were to happen in the next couple of games.

261
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I mean, that's a good question. That's

262
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: a good question if you you know you are. You

263
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: said you're not trying to jinx things, but.

264
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 8: I'm really I'm trying.

265
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying my best, all right, Gabe, Thanks for the call.

266
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate that first time Callerr love it. Going into dipping

267
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: into Knoxville, Tennessee. Good, good question, because there are some

268
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: options there. I mean, you've got too many. DOGA who's

269
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: played a left tackle hasn't necessarily played great there. They

270
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: picked up Lyle Collins. He's on the pre the squad.

271
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: We'll see how his development is and how ready he

272
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: is to play. I think I think the having Bass

273
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: and Hoffman played like they have, I don't think they

274
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: want to kick out Tyler Smith this year, they've been

275
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: trying to go against that. You might have to you know,

276
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: you get into a game and maybe that is your

277
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: best option. But I think if something were to happen

278
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, I think they would practice idoga

279
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: or or Lyell Collins there at tackle if he had

280
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: to go that route. But it is it's a good

281
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: problem to have to have the options there, knowing that

282
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: they can count on Bass uh and count on on

283
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Hoffman as well. So we'll see. Hopefully it doesn't get

284
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: to that. Tyler Tyler, Tyron Smith sorry, has been playing

285
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: pretty well. He's been playing really good when he's healthy

286
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: and and he's been relatively healthy, so uh, that's a

287
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: good sign to have him play like he's played all right.

288
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: Vince in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

289
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: Hey man, what's going on?

290
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: How are you good?

291
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 7: Good?

292
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 9: Good?

293
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: So it was great yesterday when you had a good

294
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: show there about talking about the superstitious. I just wondering

295
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: on you. You go for walks and all this stuff here.

296
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: Do you ever have something to eat during the game

297
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: or a favorite food or no?

298
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: No, I mean you know what.

299
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: You're nervous huh.

300
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: It used to be for some reason at home games.

301
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why, just because it was there in

302
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: the in the fountain machine, I guess. But I would

303
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: drink mountain dew's all the time on game day. Only

304
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: on game day. I don't really drink mountain dew unless

305
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm writing a book. If I'm writing a book and

306
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: I have to stay up till three or four in

307
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: the morning, I'll go mountain dew and crush it. But

308
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: that's really it, though, And I don't really do that.

309
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: I chomp on ice a little bit, and the people

310
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: next to me, and they're in the games and at home.

311
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's always been Derek and Todd Archer from ESPN,

312
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: and they're always kind of like a you're good on

313
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: the ice side. I don't realize. I maybe it's a

314
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: nervous thing. That's it. I don't that's really it. I

315
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: don't really.

316
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: I think I think that is too because when I

317
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: was younger, I would I would scream at the TV. Yeah,

318
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: But now since I'm older, I just calm like, hey,

319
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: you know me, just yell know. He is not going

320
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: to do anything. But the players are gonna play like

321
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna play. My favorite player is Cornell green Back

322
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: in the day the Cowboys used to get uh not

323
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: some draft churses, but they would check out the basketball players, right,

324
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: different different types of way to get the athletes in.

325
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of cool. Do you remember

326
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: the last player, uh that the Cowboys maybe picked up

327
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: that was really not a full uh football player? Recal

328
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: what what what did he play?

329
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Well? He was he was he played at Baylor. He

330
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: was a basketball player at Baylor, and he was he

331
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: led the nation and rebounding uh and and and he

332
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: played tied in play a whole lot, but he was

333
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: uh and that was what four or five years ago.

334
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, he played Summit tied end. I mean that's

335
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's that that was more of a Gil

336
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Brandt text Ram Tom Landry type thing back in the eighties. Yeah.

337
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and because you had twenty seven draft picks

338
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: to do that with and and and and so, and

339
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: some of them hit, you know, like Bob Hayes outstanding

340
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: Cornell Green. You know, I mean those they they drafted

341
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: pat Riley, I believe right from the coach the draft.

342
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: They drafted Carl Lewis the sprinter. You know, sometimes it

343
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: works out sometimes, you know, you're just throwing That's that

344
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: I think is when the NFL realized, Okay, they have

345
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: too many draft picks. I mean, if they're doing that,

346
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: let's don't let's don't waste it. I think it's a

347
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: good number right now. Seven rounds is a good number

348
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: for the draft. And then and then after that, you know,

349
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: the guys don't get drafted, then they can kind of go,

350
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, in free agency where they want to go.

351
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: What's a good spot for them. So I think it's

352
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: it's pretty good.

353
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 6: Now.

354
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 7: So here we go.

355
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 6: Here we go.

356
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: First, No, no, no, this I called a few times, but.

357
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 4: Excuse me.

358
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: Then you get the Jimmy.

359
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 6: There you go. I love that all.

360
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: So this is my prediction. And I'm not superstitious. So

361
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys. No, I know the Cowboys are

362
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: gonna win this week. Yes I know. So uh, don't

363
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: freak out, guys, just just buckle up. Your pants is

364
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: here and let's just do this.

365
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 7: Uh.

366
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys gonna know. Like I said, I

367
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: know they're gonna win, and they're gonna win big. I

368
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: think I'm pretty sure.

369
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 7: And uh, I just I just think that way.

370
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: I used to a little superstitious here and there, but uh,

371
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: I threw that out the window with the bathwater, but

372
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: not with the baby.

373
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: But I think, I think.

374
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: I know they're gonna win this weekend. All you Cowboys

375
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: fans out there, don't, don't go ahete on me. But

376
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 2: we're gonna do it. And come uh Sunday night, Monday morning,

377
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: the grass is gonna be greener, flower is gonna be there.

378
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: It might be white. Good, it might be white on

379
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: Monday morning.

380
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 6: Honestly, Uh doubt in Albuquerque, probably not.

381
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna be cold, cold.

382
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: All right, thanks man for the call. Thank you. I

383
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: love how he corrected himself like four times. I really think.

384
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I know, I mean, I think

385
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: I know. So he's like gotta he's got to fit,

386
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: you know, correct himself a little bit. He knows the

387
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to win. I don't think you're wrong

388
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: with that assessment. I really don't. I think that Cowboy

389
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: fans feel the same way. And uh, yeah, the game

390
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: is not played on paper. It's not we know this.

391
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: We know they have to execute. But they've executed all

392
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: year long. They've played really really good at home, and uh,

393
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: you know that's why you play seventeen games. It's not

394
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: a small sample size. It's a it's it's a long,

395
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: long season where you really the best teams are there

396
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: and they're you know, slotted accordingly. It's so much better

397
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: than obviously college football, where it's like, you know, you

398
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: have to have style points, you have to people have

399
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: to stay well. I think they're better than them. It

400
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Power rankings and all that crap. We do it,

401
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: we see it. Power rankings, they don't matter. They don't matter.

402
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: You're just slotted in. You play who you're supposed to play.

403
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to rich in, New Jersey.

404
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, first time calling?

405
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: All right?

406
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I've been watching the Cowboys since I

407
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: was ten years old. It goes back to nineteen sixty nine.

408
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 5: And the one thing about watching all those teams all

409
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: those years is the coach. And you know, when Landry

410
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 5: stepped on the field, I felt confident. When Parcel stepped

411
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 5: on the field, to tell confident, when Jimmy stepped on

412
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 5: the field, it's all confident. Yeah, I don't know how

413
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 5: confident I feel. I like the coach. He's proved himself

414
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 5: twelve and five three years in a row. But that's

415
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 5: where I guess they get a little nervous. But I

416
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 5: will say this, this team has been very consistent all

417
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 5: year long, and they learned to get through some adversity.

418
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: You know, the Niners loss three in a row, Eagles

419
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 5: lost more. Cowboys didn't do that.

420
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: This year.

421
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 5: They find a way and they keep plugging away.

422
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 6: This will be the year.

423
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, I think so, I mean,

424
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: I I that's that's Those are the examples when you say,

425
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: why does it feel different? You're right, it's those things

426
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, they hit a rough patch there in

427
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Miami Buffalo, you know, but it was, you know, it

428
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: was one of those things where I mean we expected that,

429
00:21:40,320 --> 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
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: So uh but yeah, so you're gonna lose.

432
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 5: You're gonna lose a game, you know, here or there.

433
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 5: Nobody's going to be perfect. So well, let's see if

434
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 5: they seemed to climb back.

435
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: Let's see if they've lost their last one. I mean,

436
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: that's what everyone's hoping for. So right, all right, rich

437
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: first time caller, can we get it? Erica? Thank you,

438
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: have a nice day. All right, Let's go to a

439
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: text line question. This is Mike from Denver, Colorado. He goes,

440
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I realize you have not been part of a conference

441
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: championship or a Super Bowl. When it happens, will you cry?

442
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: How do you think you will react? Overall, lastly, the

443
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: Packers are good. Do you think they might be a

444
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: little overrated? Well, let me start with that part. There

445
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: is no overrated, Like that's kind of what I just said.

446
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: There's no underrated, there's no overrated. That is what's the

447
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: best part about pro football is there's no ratings, there's

448
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: no it's you. They're nine and eight, they're the seventh seed.

449
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: That's the way the formula goes. That's where they are.

450
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter about anyone's opinion about them, because they're in

451
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they get and they've earned the right

452
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: to do that. So no, I don't think they're all

453
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: overrated underrated. I don't think anyone in the league is.

454
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not the way it is now. Individual players, MVP,

455
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, stuff like that. Yeah, you can throw that

456
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: out there if you want, but not from a team standpoint.

457
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: You are what you are, and I mean that's that's

458
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: why it is. They won three straight games to get here,

459
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: they you know, the way they you know, they barely

460
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: beat the Panthers barely. You know, they struggled with the

461
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: Bears a little bit, but that's your division game. You

462
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: kind of expect that last game of the season like that.

463
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: And then they beat Minnesota, went went on the road

464
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: and beat Minnesota, So I think that they're playing good football.

465
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: They've also beaten Kansas City on the road, so I think.

466
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna come in here and be,

467
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, in awe of anything. Uh So, it's gonna

468
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: be a tough matchup. They're gonna be They're gonna bring

469
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: everything they have. Is it good enough to beat the Cowboys?

470
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: We'll see. But no, I don't. I don't think they're underrated,

471
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: over ated, any of that stuff. If they if the

472
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: Cowboys get there, will I cry? I don't know. Sorry,

473
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Well, I know one

474
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: thing that I'll do is and usually he's right next

475
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: to me anyways, But at the end of the game,

476
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: who knows how it all shakes out. But I'll find Derek.

477
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: I'll find Derek and we'll we'll we'll we'll talk about

478
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: it or something. I don't know it. You know, he's

479
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: been here with me for you know, this is our

480
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty fifth season of we'll be in the playoff games

481
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And and I know there's been

482
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: some people that are like, I just hope they get

483
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: to go, you know, go to the ship. And we

484
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. We haven't been able to do it.

485
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the reaction will be, but

486
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: I know it'll be a cool moment, and it'll be

487
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: one that I'll I'll make sure and find Derek and

488
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: we'll have a moment whatever that, whatever that is, I

489
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: don't know. All right, let's go to Justin in California.

490
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, talking to you again.

491
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 11: All right, So.

492
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 10: You know this whole Dan Quinn thing, you know that

493
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 10: just up you know, like Pete Carroll's Carol Lets the Seahawks,

494
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 10: and you know, now they're saying, oh, dan Quinn, this

495
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 10: is a perfect match for room. And and then you

496
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 10: have Cowboys fans saying, hey, we better do everything we

497
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 10: can to.

498
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 4: To make him head coach.

499
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 10: You know some of the fans on Facebook and Reddit,

500
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 10: and I'm just not understanding why we're so quick to

501
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 10: kick McCarthy out and put Quinn in when we have

502
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 10: seen Quinn as a head coach, and so, yeah, he

503
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 10: made it to a Super Bowl, he blew it and

504
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 10: that was with Kyle Shanahan and they didn't win the game. Yeah,

505
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 10: And for consecutive seasons after that as a head coach,

506
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 10: Kyle Shanahan leaves, Dan Quinn was still head coach, and

507
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 10: he progressively got worse. Maybe he's just not a good

508
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 10: head coach, and maybe he's just a very brilliant defensive coordinator,

509
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 10: and maybe we should just keep him, do everything we

510
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 10: can to keep him around. I don't understand the whole

511
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 10: fascination with trying to make him a head coach when

512
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 10: we have a perfectly good head coach right now.

513
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: He's proven it.

514
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 10: Whether whether he doesn't win in the playoffs or not,

515
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 10: it's not always completely his fault. Like he can't just

516
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 10: place the blame on this man. And I think if

517
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 10: he makes it to at least an NFC championship, there

518
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 10: is no way in hell that he's gonna get fired.

519
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 10: It would be the stupidest decision ever.

520
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 4: So that was my main point.

521
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 10: And then you know, just the prediction that I have,

522
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 10: I feel, I don't feel it's going to be a

523
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 10: blowout by the Cowboys. I think it's going to be

524
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 10: a tight game. And I think as long as we

525
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 10: could keep Aaron Jones and I think AJ Dillon under wraps,

526
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 10: because we all know that's still a problem for us.

527
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 10: If we keep that under wraps, I think we pull

528
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 10: away with this win. And I think it's gonna come

529
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 10: down to Michael Parsons or de Law making a big

530
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 10: play at the end, just like they kind of did

531
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 10: at the Chargers game.

532
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 9: And now hang up and listen.

533
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'll address the first part he said.

534
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, dan Quinn is got some you know, opportunities.

535
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a lot of people, a lot

536
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: of teams I think that are interested in him. And

537
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: and then Seattle, obviously, that one seems to make sense,

538
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: especially with Pete Carroll still being there, you know, like

539
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: he was under Pete Carroll there, you know, when they

540
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl and went back to the next

541
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: year and and then I think, you know, Pete Carroll

542
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: still be an advisor and all that. So, uh, that's

543
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: a that seems like a good situation for for dan Quinn,

544
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he obviously has had some opportunities

545
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: and it hasn't. I'm not gonna say it worked out.

546
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: It just the o the Cowboys kept him one way

547
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: or another, paid him a lot more, and it just

548
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: wasn't what he wanted to do at that time pursue

549
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: those those opportunities. Seattle could be different, and so we'll see,

550
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: we'll see how it all shakes out. And also when

551
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: that happens, if it's during the season still and the

552
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys are still going, you know, it's there's different ways

553
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: to handle it. He's made it pretty clear though that

554
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: he did some of this prep work, interview stuff, all

555
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: of these things. He does that in the off season

556
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: as far as getting him his interview process in place

557
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: and all that, so it's not something he's having to

558
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: do right now. He's already kind of done that. So

559
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: when he doesn't go and when he does interview, and

560
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: if it's even during the season, it shouldn't take a

561
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: lot of his time and focus in preparation away. If

562
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: there's one guy that I think could handle this, it

563
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 1: would be Dan Quinn, very professional like, and so you know,

564
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: it's not so much him, it's maybe some of the

565
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: people that he might take with him. And and how

566
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: how all that's handled. So, but you know, it is,

567
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: it is what it is now. Asper McCarthy, I mean,

568
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: that's that seems ridiculous to me. I mean, guys won

569
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: twelve games three years in a row. No, no coach

570
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: has ever done that in Cowboy's history. And that's kind

571
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: of what I say. If you want to if you

572
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: want to make a change, if somebody wants to make

573
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: a change, it better start there. Better start with someone

574
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: that's that's done that, you know, give me somebody that

575
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: has that kind of success, you know, and he's won

576
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and all that. So I think that's

577
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous. He's I don't know if you really

578
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: want to start over there when you're building something really

579
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: really strong here, all right, Josh in Utah, Yeah, sure,

580
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: hey Josh.

581
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 6: For collar right, Josh.

582
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 12: Quick question. So when they're like on the Lions game,

583
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 12: right and it's big offense got the ball, our defense

584
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 12: is struggling. At what point do you just kind of

585
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 12: say let them score because they still have two minutes

586
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 12: left and they pretty much drove the whole clock out.

587
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 12: Why not just let him score, get our offense to

588
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 12: the ball back and then let us drive. Does that

589
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 12: make sense. Yeah, I mean, let us finish with the

590
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 12: ball in our hands.

591
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I yeah, I understand what you're what

592
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: you're saying there, But you know that at that point,

593
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: they've scored thirteen points and you've already had a goal

594
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: line stand on them. So why do they have to

595
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: score a touchdown and you don't have to have they

596
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: don't have to score a touchdown. I mean, you can

597
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: stop them in four downs and and and win the game.

598
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, you know they have to score a touchdown.

599
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know about letting them score when you're

600
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 1: up by seven. They've only scored one touchdown today. I mean,

601
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: I think the focus is get Micah Parson after their

602
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: ass and try to try to stop them. You know,

603
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: it didn't it didn't happen, but you know, force it

604
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: on them, you know what. Think about it. Think about

605
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: letting them score and then they go for two on you,

606
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: because it clearly was going to go for two, and

607
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: then then it got the lead, and then you go

608
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: down and you don't get the infield goal range and

609
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: you lose because you let them score and you lost

610
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, like, I don't know about that.

611
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: There are times where you do let them score, you know,

612
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: like maybe when the game is tied and then and

613
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: then you're like, all right, you know they're gonna kick

614
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: field goals, score touch so might as well just do that.

615
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: But not, I don't think when you're up by seven.

616
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: I think I think a defensive mentality is we're going

617
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: to stop them.

618
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 13: You know, right.

619
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 12: But there's been a few games this year there's just

620
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 12: three or four minutes left and we weren't stopping them.

621
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 10: No.

622
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 12: I was just curious, do they ever actually just let

623
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 12: them score?

624
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: There's times for it, you know, but teams are smart too,

625
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: like like in Miami, they you know, they weren't going

626
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: to let them score. I mean like like I mean

627
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: Miami wasn't going to score touchdown. You know, you could

628
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: have you could have let them the game was tied, No, No,

629
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys were up by one and they were just trying

630
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: to get into a field goal. You could have theoretically

631
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: let them score. But I don't think they were going

632
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: to do that. They weren't going to score touchdowns. So

633
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: sometimes teams, teams know that and they're like, all right,

634
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna just you know, we don't have you can't

635
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: just pick me up and throw me into the end

636
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: zone for a touchdown. I mean, like so it kind

637
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: of goes both ways.

638
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 12: All right, answer my question.

639
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,960

645
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: Right, what's going on? What are you doing?

646
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 4: All?

647
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 13: Help man on this travel.

648
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: On the gravel around?

649
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 6: Yeh's what I'm doing.

650
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 13: Man. You know, I've been I've been talking with some

651
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 13: friends and all that good stuff, and it's amazing how

652
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 13: people just it's my past, the Cowboys on ex assist

653
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 13: this year and seasons past. You know, yeah, you take

654
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 13: this because of they come up short in the playoffs

655
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 13: in the last twenty years.

656
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I mean this team gets judged by the

657
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: successes and failures of other teams. It's an easy it's

658
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: an easy number to put that on there. You know,

659
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: nobody does that with the Lions. I'm looking at like

660
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: the TV of that screen has the Lions. I mean,

661
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: who's never won this brow? But I mean, no one

662
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: does it with all these other teams both with the Cowboys,

663
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: and it's funny because that's the standard they have. They

664
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: obviously have that standard for the coupe. So it's just

665
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: an easy it's an easy target to you know, target

666
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: on Jerry Jones to say, oh, they haven't won in

667
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: twenty eight years, you know, haven't won the super Bowl

668
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty because that's the expectations that everybody has for the Cowboy.

669
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 13: So yes, well, I know, Dank never better tulp about

670
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 13: dan Quinn might be going over here over there, you know,

671
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 13: and uh, I don't want Matt McCarthy to go nowhere.

672
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 13: Regardless of this season. I think the man that has

673
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 13: got only something. I see them making the super Bowl

674
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 13: the next year too, if not this year. Right, And

675
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 13: for my prediction on tomorrow, I mean at tomorrow, a Sunday,

676
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,040

Speaker 13: years old, and yeah, I said a certain word whenever

690
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 13: it was messing up, and he went around repeating it.

691
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: Oh of course, yeah, they don't you You could say

692
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,239

00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: you say something else, Oh yeah, they know. They have

694
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: that radar. They just know. I don't know what it is.

695
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: Those kids know when a bad word comes in.

696
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,680

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

709
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: of getting into the storyline, but I definitely appreciate it.

710
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: All right, Louise is on text message Louise. He's from

711
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: someone Park, New Mexico loved the show. This text is

712
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: from the Superstitious Deal. I'm very superstitiou when it comes

713
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: to Cowboys games every week. I do believe Jimmy Johnson

714
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: curse has been lifted after all these years. It'll be

715
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: proven when the Niners losing Cowboys hosting the championship game.

716
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: I normally wouldn't put this out there, but I strongly

717
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: believe the curse has been lifted. All right, Luis, Uh maybe,

718
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's one of those things where

719
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: let's let it, let's let it play out. Uh, if

720
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: all that happens, and I mean, because you have, let's

721
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: be honest, now, since that's happened, there's been some favorable

722
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: things that have that have helped the Cowboys. We know that,

723
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: we see it. And yeah, if somebody like the Rams

724
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: knocks off the Lions and you you play the Bucks

725
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: of the Eagles and then the Rams beat the Niners

726
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: and you host the Rams and beat them, you got

727
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: to beat them, and you go to the super Bowl,

728
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: then yeah, maybe the curse has been lifted. Or you

729
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: just go to San Francisco and you win I mean maybe,

730
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: but again, not trying to get ahead of ourselves. But

731
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: I'm not believing in the curse has been lifted until

732
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: I see a bunch of things that are different than

733
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: I haven't seen before.

734
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 6: So I have.

735
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: I've seen home playoff games. I've seen them have high

736
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: seeds like this. I haven't seen the championship game though,

737
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: and I haven't you know, definitely haven't seen Super Bowl

738
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys perspective. I've seen one at at and

739
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: C Stadium with the Packers, but I haven't seen, obviously

740
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: anything better than the Division A round. All right, Anthony

741
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: and Miami.

742
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 9: What's up? Nick the quick?

743
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:54,959
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

744
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 11: Man?

745
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 9: You know I'm doing well. I called the show to

746
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 9: other day, right, I'm just in a different tone right now.

747
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 9: I called joy the other day that you left.

748
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 6: Man, I called hanging right.

749
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 9: Because I have called them in a couple of weeks,

750
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 9: but you. I was two calls after you left, so

751
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 9: I asked shading them where you was, and they said

752
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 9: you went on and the left and they will tell

753
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 9: you about my call. It was about happy. The thing

754
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 9: was happy. I said, I'm happy about everything, and everybody happy.

755
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 9: Happy to have to happy. That's just how I found it.

756
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 9: The reason I'm happy is because let's do another movie thing.

757
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 9: You know how we did the radio I did. I

758
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 9: shared the radio scene with you. I'm gonna share one

759
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 9: form one of my favorite movie, Roadhouse and Patty Wave.

760
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 9: He says, he said, I want you to be nice

761
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 9: until it's time not to be nice.

762
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 4: And when is that?

763
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 9: And he said, I'll tell you so. I'm telling the

764
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 9: Cowboys it's time to not be nice. No handshakes, no

765
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 9: jersey swaps, It's time not to be nice. You see

766
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 9: what I'm saying, not to be nice. And this is

767
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 9: what the Cowboys are gonna do, because you know, in

768
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 9: the Prince of Positivity, I dubbed myself that we're gonna

769
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 9: win at least by thirteen, be a little rough early.

770
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 9: We're gonna pull away thirteen this week. And I'm saying

771
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 9: this is my this is my take. We're gonna beat

772
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 9: the breaks off whoever's next, and then we're gonna take

773
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 9: that theory of nice to his time not to be nice.

774
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 9: If there are any bullies that are left in the

775
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 9: NFC Championship Game, then we're gonna smack them in the mouth.

776
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: Be the bully. I mean how about that.

777
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 9: It won't be the bully. That's what I'm saying. We're

778
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 9: gonna smack them in the mouth, all right, So let

779
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 9: me give you let me give you something on football

780
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 9: players real quick. Okay, Roger, I heard somebody say, Roger

781
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 9: I never talked about my favorite players. My favorite player

782
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 9: ever is in miss Smith. The reason I started and

783
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 9: the first Cowboys I liked was Tony Gossett my first jersey,

784
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 9: and Rogers started back Captain America. Two Cowboys that I

785
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 9: have so much like for it's the ones that came

786
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 9: right around the Jimmy regime that stayed with the Tom

787
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 9: Lands regime, and that was Jim Jeff Cooche and Bill Bates.

788
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 9: And the reason why two longtime veterans. I guess they

789
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 9: were fan favorite. Yeah, fifteen year veterans, I believe or

790
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 9: something like that, and those were maybe those were two

791
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 9: of the ones. Michael Irvin said, these are the good

792
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 9: guys who can keep them.

793
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 11: They were hard.

794
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 9: So I'm just happy that with that, you know, they

795
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 9: was able to get their rings and stay unlike some

796
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 9: of the others, you know, Randy, them move about out gracefully,

797
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 9: and so I can't do it anymore. And the ones

798
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 9: who got cut or whatever. But those two I just

799
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 9: you know, I like guys like that who just stayed

800
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 9: with it and won those Super Bowls, you know, So

801
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 9: that's what's happening, all right, that's what we're gonna do.

802
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 6: All right.

803
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: Awesome, thanks Anthony. You know, I throw two more guys

804
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: in there on that list because Jimmy had kind of said,

805
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, there were some guys they weren't that good

806
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: of players, you know, back in the mid you know,

807
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: mid eighties, late eighties, but they suddenly got really good

808
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: when you put a lot of other pieces around them.

809
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: And I you know, Nate Newton is probably one where

810
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he wasn't good. I mean, I love Nate,

811
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: but I'm saying Nate, you know, Nate was able to

812
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: become pro bowler, you know, one of the best players,

813
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: one of the best guards in the NFL, you know,

814
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: and he was here in that early regime. Mark Tuena

815
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: is another one like that, where you know, tuine was

816
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes starting, sometimes not, and then you know

817
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: he was. They were both part of that great line

818
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and so you know, you have to have

819
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: some really good coaching, really good players around them, Bates

820
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: and and like you said, Jeff co those are other

821
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: two more you know, a couple other hold overs, maybe

822
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: you know the Robert Williams types. And I'm trying to think,

823
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's just maybe Ken Norton junior. He was

824
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: drafted in eighty eight there with with Michael Irvin and

825
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: you know, Landry's last draft. But but yeah, it helps

826
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: to have great players around him for sure. All right,

827
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: let's go to Scott in New Jersey.

828
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how are you say?

829
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: Good Scott? What's going on?

830
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 6: A few things? I just want to say, first time caller,

Speaker 6: Rob Phillips articles. But anyways, they.

843
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,080

856

00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 6: Armadillo's Yes, sindbad everything. Loved that movie. Yeah, random, random

858
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 6: football player and I don't know whatever happened to his

859
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 6: career and he fizzled out. And just reminds me because

860
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 6: he was eighty eight was Antonio Bryant?

861
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 1: Boy? He was he was something?

862
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 6: So yeah he was something? Right, Yes, So two quick

863
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 6: questions and then I'll hop off and listen to you.

864
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 6: So do you think the size of the linebackers with

865
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 6: Dallas just you know, they're a little light in size.

866
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 6: I know lve Is is is out. I don't I

867
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 6: haven't seen the et a if he's coming back by

868
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 6: any chance, But do you think the side of the

869
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 6: linebackers may play a fact they're both in wildcard against Packers,

870
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 6: or you know, let's say they move on and if

871
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 6: maybe Rams could huge pull up an upset or anything.

872
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 6: Do you think the sides of the linebackers are going

873
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 6: to be an impact or or hinderance to down us?

874
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 6: And I know we've I've heard other callers today talk

875
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 6: about just the passing game, but we're not given enough props.

876
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,479
Speaker 6: Like I know, the running games a little slow this year,

877
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 6: but and and sporadic. But the passing game has been

878
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 6: pretty darn consistent all year long. But there has been

879
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 6: a couple uh, what would you say, gaps or games

880
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 6: where they look like that the passing games stalled and

881
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 6: then the offense kind of Yeah, I don't want to

882
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 6: do sputtered. So what's your what's your thoughts? I'll hang

883
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 6: up and listen.

884
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: All right, all right, thank you for the call. Yeah,

885
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said earlier, I think I think

886
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: this is definitely a passing team. You know, you gotta

887
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: it's a passing team. That's where this that's where the

888
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 1: playmakers are, that's where the Cowboys really move the ball.

889
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: But you gotta be able to run it to You

890
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: gotta be able to have complimentary games. And I think

891
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 1: the games where the passing game has been a little

892
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: compromised and they have to lean on running games a

893
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: little bit more, that's where they've struggled. They've struggled a

894
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: little bit more. There, you said, Antonio Bryant. Of course,

895
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: everyone kind of remembers the The Antonio Bryant Parcels story

896
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: that everyone knows or has heard of is when he

897
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: threw the jersey in his face in the middle of practice.

898
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he was here that much long after that.

899
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: They traded him to Cleveland. He got upset and frustrated

900
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: in practice and took off his jersey and threw it

901
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: in Parcels face. The story that I remember was, uh,

902
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: when he he walked in. There was a story that

903
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: like he walked in one day and he had this

904
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: like lime green shirt on, and Parcels used to stand

905
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: up or sit at the door and watch their players

906
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: come in, and he'd have a little something for all

907
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: of them, you know, just one little quip here and there.

908
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: And apparently one day Antonio was walking in, you know,

909
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: probably just doing his own thing. You know, he was

910
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: a little he was a little different guy, you know,

911
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: And he said, uh, Antonio, you know, he wouldn't never

912
00:44:58,880 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: call him aby.

913
00:44:59,560 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 10: You know.

914
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: It's like, and Antonio, I love that shirt, just bright

915
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: neon green highlighter looking shirt. He's like, I love this shirt.

916
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: Can I get one? And he's like, no, Coach, you

917
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: can't get a shirt like this. No, no, no, Antonio,

918
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: I want this. No no, you can't get this shirt.

919
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: Hey that you can't wear this?

920
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 6: No?

921
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? I love this Shirt's great? Now, Coach?

922
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: And went on for a little bit and finally he's like, oh,

923
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: why can't I get the shirts? Because they don't make

924
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: six x Coach, they don't make a six XL. You

925
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: can't wear this. And everyone laughed except for Bill and

926
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: you knows. And I don't know. I don't know how

927
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: long where that was with the whole throwing the jersey

928
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: in his face, but clearly they had a little different

929
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: relationship there. Anyways, just thought i'd throw that story out there,

930
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: all right, we have any more callers? We do one more?

931
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: Alan in Long Island.

932
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, good morning, how are you morning?

933
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: You ready? Alan? You ready to go? I'm ready to go.

934
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 9: I'm ready to go.

935
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 11: I'm actually sitting in my car and I was gonna leave,

936
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 11: and I was like, you know.

937
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: Nick, real quick, Okay, appreciate it, called Nick and called

938
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 1: the show real quick.

939
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 9: Yeah.

940
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 11: So I just I was talking to Chris about it.

941
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 11: When we drafted Michael Parsons, we drafted him as a linebacker,

942
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 11: right right. I believe he still had twelve sacks as

943
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 11: a rookie year. I think at least twelve sacks a

944
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 11: rookie year. But just if you can correct me, like

945
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 11: what percentage did he play his rookie year as a linebacker?

946
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: He was, well, he had like thirteen he had thirteen

947
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: sackses first year, thirteen and a half second year, and

948
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: then this year, I think he got to fourteen. So

949
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: he's he's getting a little bit better every time, but

950
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: he didn't like he played. I would say it was

951
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: about sixty pass rush. I mean it was. It was.

952
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: It was back and forth a lot. You know, it

953
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: wasn't all the time because because it was a situation

954
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: going into the offseason of you know what, sorry, what

955
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: should they do? What should they do there? It wasn't

956
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: just you know, sixty sixty forty. It wasn't just full

957
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: time pass rusher.

958
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 11: Right, and then and then obviously his sophomore year and

959
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 11: his junior year he became more of a pass rusher.

960
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 6: Correct, Like he wasn't as much of a lineback.

961
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Cowboys, right, Yeah, yeah, Mike out yeah,

962
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: Mike no, no, I mean, I'm sorry, junior year, when

963
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: they're done, when they're done with college, I don't I

964
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: don't say that anymore. You're talking about second, third year, Okay, correct? Uh, yeah,

965
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: he's I mean I think he's rushed the passer more

966
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: every time. Every year he's he's he's had more rushers.

967
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 11: So my question is, because obviously we're gonna have to

968
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 11: pay Micah. I'm sure if his agent and him are

969
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 11: going to say, well, you may have drafted him as

970
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 11: a linebacker, but we want him to get paid as

971
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 11: a defensive end because they get paid more money than linebackers. Yes,

972
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 11: my question is, since it seems like with Marquise Bell

973
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 11: at undersized linebacker slash safety hybrid and the moon Clark,

974
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 11: did we make a mistake and making him a full

975
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 11: time I guess pass rusher instead of having him as that,

976
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 11: having him as that linebacker pass rusher hybrid because his

977
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 11: rookie year twelve and a half sacks or whatever, thirteen

978
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 11: sacks and then look at him now as a full

979
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 11: time pass rusher, and it's only really been a sack

980
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 11: and a half difference.

981
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: I disagree with you. I really disagree with you.

982
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 11: I'm just asking. I'm just asking you, like I'm just thinking.

983
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 11: I was just thinking of a question. I was like,

984
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 11: you know what, let me ask Nick this with you're

985
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 11: saying that we shouldn't have done it. I'm just wondering,

986
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 11: did we make the mistake?

987
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: Okay, well, appreciate the appreciate the call. Here, we got

988
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: one more call we got to get to. Thanks for

989
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: the call. But I'm gonna answer this question. I disagree because,

990
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 1: and I've always said this, I don't like that saying

991
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades. I hate that.

992
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: I always say, and I've said this for years, and

993
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: pass rush because close can matter. Yeah, you didn't get

994
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: the sack, but the guy was you were screaming off

995
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: the edge of the quarterback, peeing his pants. He just

996
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: throws it real quick, you know, on third and twelve

997
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: into the ground and they have to punt. You did something,

998
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 1: the sacks might be different. I guarantee. The attention is different,

999
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: The pressures are way up. He leads the league in pressures.

1000
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: He gets after the quarterback, he gets after it. He

1001
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: makes a difference and everyone knows that he's making a difference.

1002
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: Just just answer this question wherever you think about making mistake.

1003
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: The Packers are driving down, they're down by four, they

1004
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: need a touchdown, They're on the twenty two yard line

1005
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: and it's fourth and nine. Where do you want Micah?

1006
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 1: Do you want him a linebacker and make sure that

1007
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: he can cover the tight end or do you want

1008
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: him on that edge going right after Jordan Love. You

1009
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,479
Speaker 1: answer that question and then you can you probably answer

1010
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: your own question of where you want him and have

1011
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: they made a mistake because I really think he needs

1012
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: to get rushed. He needs to be rushing the quarterback

1013
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: real quick. Eric in North Carolina, last call.

1014
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how you doing. I'm doing well. I hope

1015
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 3: you are. How about them?

1016
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 6: Cowboy go?

1017
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: First caller, first time?

1018
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 3: Act third time? But I never got the but I

1019
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 3: never got back.

1020
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: You never got it. We'll give it to you never go.

1021
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: You got it.

1022
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: Eric, I appreciate you and Chris, so I'm really excited

1023
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 3: about the ring of Honor and Jimmy getting in and

1024
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 3: it was really fun to see Darren Woodson and Charles

1025
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 3: Haley kind of nodding when when Jimmy was saying that

1026
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 3: he was kind of a jerk at times.

1027
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a lot of fun.

1028
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 3: But let's just say that that we do great in

1029
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 3: the playoffs. And Jerry is in a great mood and

1030
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 3: he comes to you and he says, Nick, I'm gonna

1031
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 3: put in three players into the into the Ring of Honor,

1032
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 3: one from the seventies, one from the eighties, and one

1033
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 3: for and one from the nineties. Who would you put.

1034
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: In seventies, eighties and nineties. I'll go with I'll go

1035
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: with Harvey Martin in the seventies. I'd go with Everson

1036
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: Walls in the eighties and in the nineties. If I

1037
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: got just a guy from the nineties, man Nate Newton,

1038
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: one Nate Newton, that would be it. That would be

1039
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: my three right there, real quick? Who would you put in?

1040
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: I love when.

1041
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 3: I was thinking Harvey Martin and I was thinking everything

1042
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 3: Walls too, But just to go with with uh, someone different,

1043
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: I would say it. Two Tall Jones because he was

1044
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 3: always terrific. Yeah, And then from the eighties, I would

1045
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 3: say Tony Hill, uh and from the nineties, I would

1046
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 3: say j novichick j Novchick.

1047
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all good choices for sure. Yeah, But

1048
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: I like, you know, I mean, you can make a

1049
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: case for Dion too, honestly, because I mean we're putting

1050
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: guys in. Charles Haley didn't play. I mean he played

1051
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: five years, I think, and Jimmy coached here five years.

1052
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: And I mean Dion's, you know, arguably the greatest cornerback

1053
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: to ever played. So I mean you could make a

1054
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: case for Dion. But for me, Everson Walls. You know,

1055
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: just what with what happened with with with Ron Springs

1056
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: and just that's the epitome of what a team that

1057
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: is the Ring of honor. Plus he was a great player,

1058
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: absolutely great player. The teams weren't great in the eighties.

1059
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 6: He was. Now.

1060
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: Is it a coincidence that I named two guys on

1061
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: our shows? Maybe maybe it is, but I tell me

1062
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I mean, Eversin Walls, Nate Newton, both of

1063
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: them have the accolades to be there, and they should

1064
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: be in. Harvey Martin from the seventies, if you went sixties,

1065
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: I'd say Cornell Green as well. All Right, great show, guys,

1066
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Chris Bean, thank you so much for working

1067
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: in the back like you always do. We'll see you

1068
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: tomorrow on Cowboys storyline.

1069
