1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: This is these Cowboys Storylines with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: What is up at this time for Cowboys storyline? It's

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: a Thursday here, I'm Nick Eatman, and we are ready

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: to go for the storylines, getting closer and closer Cowboys

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: and Giants at the Meadowlands on Sunday night. We've got

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: a new feature on the website this year, Dallas Cowboys

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: dot Com called the Tenspot. It's just a collection of

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: a lot of top tens. We've already started it this

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: week and today's top ten is a rank them on

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: the best Cowboy Giants opener games in series history. And

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: I think the Giants is the only team you could

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: really do that with because obviously the Cowboys and Giants

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: play so many of these Week one games, so a

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: lot of fun memories there. Check that out and every

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: there's a different top ten. There's X factors for the game,

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some game breakers, there's gonna be big facts,

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: all that kind of cool stuff. All right, let's hit

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: the storylines before we go to the phone lines, because

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 2: I can already hear it ringing over there, which is great.

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Injuries is the big deal. Tyler Smith, he was out

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: at practice. They had they moved practice a little bit earlier.

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: Today he's out there working just with with the strength

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: coaches and the athletic trainers, trying to rehab that hamstring injury.

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy said he believes that if Tyler Smith is

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: able to do something at least by Saturday, that they're

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: going to give him a chance to play. This is

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: probably gonna be a game time decision. Just gut feeling

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 2: for me, just the way he was kind of moving

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: At first, I was thinking maybe not, but because of

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: the nature of the position and where he is and

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: he's not gonna be running forty yard dashes hopefully, I

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: think that I think he has a chance to play.

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: Tyler Smith. The other guys, Donovan Wilson did not practice today.

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: He's not going to practice with the calf strains. Probably

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: not gonna happen for him. And then Sam Williams did

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: some stuff. He's working with the rehab group on a

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: toe injury. Did a little bit more than we thought

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: he was going to do. So it's the arrows trending

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: up maybe for Sam Williams to play. And I still

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: think Tyler Smith has a shot. And Jordan Lewis was

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: a full participant in practice yesterday. I don't know if

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: they'll they'll throw him out there for this game, but

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: at least he is practicing to the point where he's

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: probably gonna play. If not this week, I would say

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: next week, all right, eight eight eight eight five five

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 2: two two ninety seven. If you're able to watch right now,

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: you can see we've added that on the screen, which

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: is great because I forget the number sometimes was right there,

52
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: and the text line as well. Eight one seven two

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: nine zero three two nine to eight. Give us a call,

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: give us a text, whatever you want, but we're gonna

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: start with the phone lines. We're going with Joe and Stanford.

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: What's up man, Hey, good morning, brother, good morning.

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: And so a couple of things. First, I was thinking

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: about how we were gonna deal with Waller the tied end.

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: Uh So, I think you know what we did with

60
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: those big receivers in Tampa and the playoff game with Israel.

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: I think I think there's probably a good chance that's

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 4: what our plan is going to be with Waller. That's

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: just the observation. I think we probably will see this Sunday.

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: And I had another thing I was thinking about, So,

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: why do you think we kept are are we? We

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: went along on running back? In wide receiver, we kept

67
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: Vaughn and the little guy, the return guy, the wide receiver. Yeah,

68
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: so you do you think we're gonna have both those

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: guys active every week? I don't see. I don't see

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: enough touches for both of those guys. And I think

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: that Vonn could do stuff. So I think at some

72
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: point this year we're gonna have to figure out who's

73
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: gonna actually get more touches on offense, because I don't

74
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: think that there's enough room on the active roster for

75
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: us to keep that many running backs and that many receivers,

76
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: especially if we're gonna use the kid from North Dakota

77
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: for special teams.

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate the call. Good good stuff there for sure.

79
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: Let me let's start with the first part on tight end.

80
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: I do think, you know Waller's that's gonna be a

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: matchup to watch because the Giants, you know, they had

82
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram back in the day. Now they've got Waller

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: and and and he's a better I think he's a

84
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 2: better tied end and he's more improven when he's healthy.

85
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: He's been banged up some, but but yeah, whether it's Macwamu,

86
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: whether it's Marquise Bell, you know, and even jay Ron Curse,

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean those guys because you know, without Donovan Wilson,

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: I think Kurs will play a little bit more safety,

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: But the Cowboys have some athletic safeties that will be

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: able to play in this game and go, you know,

91
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: go against the tight end. The thing about mcwamu is

92
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: he said, remember when he was drafted, he said he's

93
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: gonna be the best cornerback in the draft, and they said,

94
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: well that's cool, but we're moving you to safety and

95
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: he's like, okay, well then I'll be the best safety.

96
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: He's got confidence, but he's got coverage skills. You know,

97
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: he was the opposite corner to j. C. Horn at

98
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: South Carolina, So I think I think mkwamu has some

99
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: coverage skills. Going up against the tight ends probably a

100
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: good matchup. So I like that. I like where you're

101
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: thinking there, Vaughn and Turpin. Me personally, I've said this

102
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: a thousand times in the offseason since the forty nine

103
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: ers lost that. I think that they just didn't have

104
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: enough playmakers. So now you know you got playmakers. And

105
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 2: if they're going to use Turping on offense, then yeah,

106
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: I think I think you've got some touches. I saw

107
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: some things at training camp that some packages where it

108
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: looks like they both were out there doing the things

109
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: on offense. So I think they're going to try to

110
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: utilize these guys in space. You know, they're gonna they're

111
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: going to do the whole width of the field. They're

112
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: going to get these little guys out there and give

113
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: them the ball. I think there are they are going

114
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: to find ways to have some some touches. And Turpin

115
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: was a threat. He didn't always break the long, you know,

116
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: punt return, kick return, but what he showed in that

117
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: preseason game scared teams enough to they didn't always kick

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: at him. He was a threat. Let's see if he

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: continues to be that way. And I don't know if

120
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: deuce Vaughn's ready to be that kind of guy yet.

121
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: I you know, I think for now, I think you

122
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: can get away with with playing both of them out there.

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's go back to the phone lines again.

124
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: Tim In Grapevine. Tim, what's up?

125
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: Nick? Good morning?

126
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: Good morning?

127
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: All right? Football?

128
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 5: Hey, football season is a pawn us the weather. The

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 5: weather is finally showing signs of cooling off. Really so

130
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 5: glory glory, hell, I think so? I think this next week?

131
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: Next week, Okay, I got it. Next week, I went

132
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: out to practice. I can still feel sweat, and now, okay,

133
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: got it all right? Next week though it's it's coming.

134
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: It's fair.

135
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 6: Okay.

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: So two questions.

137
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 5: Number one, who would win in a hypothetical the two

138
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: thousand and seven Cowboys are this year's team? And why?

139
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: And then my second question for you, and then I'll

140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 5: hang up. My second question is do you think Sunday

141
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: Night against the Giants is the key to victory? Is

142
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 5: it as simple as shutting down Saquon Barkley.

143
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna before you hang up, I'm gonna because I

144
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: always say this, It's not just it's not just my show.

145
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: This is a fan show. What's your Well, who are

146
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: you taking two thousand and seven versus twenty three? I

147
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: already know my answer, So who are you picking?

148
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: I'm taking two thousand and seven Cowboys regular season the playoffs,

149
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: though obviously you know what happened with Patrick Creighton dropping

150
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 5: that ball. The reason why I'm taking two thousand and seven.

151
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 5: I just think Trell Owens against I mean, I like

152
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: our defensive backs this year, but t O was t O.

153
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: I mean he's a Hall of Famer for a reason.

154
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 5: Jason Witton hall of Famer. And then DeMarcus Ware was,

155
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 5: I mean, he was a monster that year, and he

156
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: was such a young pup. This year's team, I mean,

157
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: obviously they're not second to anyone. I think that's this

158
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 5: year's team is the best team I've seen Sinzo seven.

159
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: But I got to take Romo in the seven team.

160
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you there. Thanks for the call.

161
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with two thousand and seven as well.

162
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: I think it's the best football team that I've covered

163
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: since I've been with the team. Now this is my

164
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: twenty fifth year, and I will put this team, you know,

165
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: ahead of any of the others. It had thirteen Pro Bowlers,

166
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: but they were you know, it was it was a

167
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: legit thirteen. I mean every across the line, everywhere you go.

168
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't just the Ware. Greg Ellis was

169
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: the comeback player of the Year that year, coming off

170
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: of injury. He had a lot of sacks, he had

171
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: handling in the backfield. You had Terrence Newman. I mean,

172
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: you had the offensive line, had three guys. He had

173
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: two running backs that were good, Julis Jones and Marian

174
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: Barber who made the Pro Bowl. If TiO doesn't get

175
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: hurt in that Panthers game late in the season, that

176
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: changes everything. So I think that I think that's the

177
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: best football team that I've covered, and that would you know,

178
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: from top to bottom, so good Romo. That was his

179
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: first year of a starter. He had a Roland. I

180
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: really love that that team. We'll see what this one

181
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: does as well. You know, a little bit more question

182
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: marks I think on the roster running back, even though

183
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be fine, just there's a little

184
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: bit more question marks there. Uh key to victory. Yeah,

185
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: I think anytime you shut down the team's best player,

186
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: particularly at running back, it changes everything. Can they can

187
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: they shut shut him down? That's the big question. But

188
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: but yeah, stopping Barkley making him a non factor the

189
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: best that you possibly can and just makes you know,

190
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: make sure you limit the chunk plays. That's I think

191
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: gonna be the biggest thing going on right, there is

192
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: just start to limit him from from going off and

193
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: making big plays. All right, let's go to the text line.

194
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: I got some some text messages coming in here speaking

195
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: of Tony Pollard. I had one from see it was

196
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: from Daniel in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Uh. He's talking about fantasy football.

197
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: He said he went with his gut and drafted Tony

198
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: Pollard instead of b John Robinson.

199
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 7: Uh.

200
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: And and he's just he's just feeling like, you know,

201
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: please reassure this cowboy fan that I did the right

202
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: thing of making the case that TP is gonna have

203
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: it unbelievably amazing season. You know, I didn't do that.

204
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: And in my fantasy I picked I picked Barkley actually

205
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: over over TP, which is fine. I mean, you know,

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: because I have I do things a little differently, you know,

207
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: Like I pick Eagles. I picked Giants if if they

208
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: if they do poorly for me, well I'll lose fantasy.

209
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: But maybe that helps the big picture. But I always

210
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: I'm always hedging the bet there. I do think Tony

211
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: Poller is gonna have a good season, though, I really do.

212
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna catch the ball. My only concern

213
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: is just are they gonna give him the ball and

214
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: third and one at the one. That's you know, that's

215
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: what I want to know. Is they're gonna do that

216
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: or is that gonna take some of these touches around

217
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: the goal line. But as long as he's gonna find

218
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: the end zone and and make some plays, he's gonna

219
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: get catches. I think he's gonna be fine for you.

220
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: And and the Falcons are such a wild card. Who

221
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: knows about rookie running backs. I think I think you

222
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: probably made the right choice there, especially that's this is

223
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: your team, this is who you want to win. Then yeah,

224
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 2: I mean I'm all about it right there. All right,

225
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: let's go back to the text line. Uh, we've got

226
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: this one from the five from a Joe in Montrose, Pennsylvania.

227
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: Got a couple of Pennsylvania you know, he said, how

228
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: do you how do you think Tyron will hold up

229
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: in pass protection against the speed rushers? You know, if

230
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: he can get his hands on him, he's still Tyron Smith.

231
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's the key for him, is still

232
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: being able to you know, he's got to move the feet.

233
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not hearing anything out of Tyrant. That's

234
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: a good thing. Knocklin Wood. You know, we didn't expect

235
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: Tyler Smith to be the one banged up this week.

236
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: But I still feel like Tyler's going to be out there,

237
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: and I think that that certainly will will help Tyron

238
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: and vice versa, uh there at left tackle. But yeah,

239
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 2: the Giants have some speed rushers for sure, Tipodau is

240
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: one of them, and and you know, he's he's probably

241
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: ready to to make that big leap in his career.

242
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: But I still will feel like when when he's playing

243
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: left tackle, Tyler's Tyron Smith at left tackle, I still

244
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: feel like, uh, he's he can be one of the best.

245
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: Uh he's you know, once he's healthy, he's feeling good

246
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 2: and he's got some strength that that it doesn't go away. Okay,

247
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: it's turned into grown man strength at this point because

248
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: he uh he's a little bit older in his career,

249
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: but he's still is a very very good technique wise,

250
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: strength wise, and I still think he can be a

251
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: really good left tackle certainly when he when he you know,

252
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: he can get his hands on him and get these

253
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: guys in check, all right. Eight eight eight eight five

254
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: five two two ninety seven. That is the phone line

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: you can text us at eight one seven two nine

256
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: zero three two nine eight got one from Noah in Seattle,

257
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: and he says, with Nick Bosa's new deal with the

258
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: forty nine ers done, does Parsons become easier? Bosa? But

259
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: five years, one hundred and seventy million, thirty four million

260
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: a year, Okay, easier? No, it's not. It's not going

261
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: to be easier. I mean it sets the bar, but

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if that makes it easier

263
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 2: or not. You still got to you got to get

264
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: a contract for that. And it's not so much what

265
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers have to think about that. What

266
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers are able to do their quarterbacks

267
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: making six hundred thousand dollars right now, you know, because

268
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: he that's that's where they that's where they stand with

269
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: with Purty and so you can you can do the

270
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: Cowboys quarterbacks not making that and he won't make that

271
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 2: even next year. So they have they have, you know,

272
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: everyone's got their their issues. But yeah, this kind of

273
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: sets the bar, and this is what MICA's agents probably

274
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: going to be looking at and going over that. That's

275
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: just natural to to do that. But I don't think

276
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: it's gonna be easy to get him in. Yes, it's

277
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: going to be. Now we kind of know where where

278
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: we're looking at, where the floor is, and uh that

279
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: that's not always going to be fun. So they you know,

280
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: they still have CD to get done, Dak, we'll probably

281
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: be done as well, So it's never gonna be easy

282
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: to get that kind of contract into your salary cap.

283
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think you do kind of know what's

284
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: going on here. All right, We've got Lewis in Texas

285
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: on the line, going back to the phone lines, Lewis,

286
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: what's up.

287
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 4: Hey, Nick?

288
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 8: First of all, let me take congratulations on show. Have

289
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 8: been watching a long time.

290
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 5: Thank he deserves me.

291
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Thank you so much.

292
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 8: My question is this, and we've talked about it for

293
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 8: a while, the offensive line. One guy we haven't talked about.

294
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 8: You did mention majority En yesterday was TJ Beass. But

295
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 8: my biggest concern with this offensive line is the depth.

296
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 8: Like we talked about on the show, on your show

297
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 8: for a couple of days. Now, do we have an

298
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 8: update on where Tyler Smith's at. It's hard to get

299
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 8: something offline and my guy to fill in that role

300
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 8: if they had to the number one guy would be TJ.

301
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 7: Bass.

302
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 8: I haven't seen anybody play as well as him through

303
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 8: the entire appreciating yep.

304
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: TJ bass Is is the guy that that has has

305
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: been impressive. And he was one of those names when

306
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: you looked at the list of free agents and you said, well,

307
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: you know he he was on draft boards fifth round,

308
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: sixth round, three times, all Pac twelve at Oregon and

309
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: play different positions. So I was very intriguing right off

310
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: the bat that that he was gonna to join this team.

311
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: And anytime the draft is over, you're always thinking, Okay,

312
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: who are who are the two or three names, because

313
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: there's always going to be a few, And Hunter Lipke

314
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: was one and he made the team, and and so

315
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: did TJ. Bass And I feel like there's another one

316
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: there missing it. But but I do think that there

317
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: was there was two or three that that made this team.

318
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: I mentioned it early. Tyler Smith. He's gonna do some

319
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: some practicing today as far as really more individual stuff

320
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: trying to get in there. Not really team they're they're

321
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: they're they're kind of holding him out until maybe Saturday's

322
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: the day. Saturday, we'll see what he can do. And

323
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: there's a walk through before they get on the plane.

324
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna go right up to Sunday, just

325
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: to see how he feels. My gut just watching him

326
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: on the cords moving, you know, a little bit of

327
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: jogging that it's Thursday. Now you have a Sunday night game.

328
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: I think Sunday night and I mean think about seven

329
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: hour eight hour difference there from playing a night from

330
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: a noon game. I think that that that'll help him.

331
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean it's a little bit more time. So I

332
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: think he'll he'll be fine. And you know, I just

333
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: think that he's gonna be able to play. But if

334
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: he doesn't, I think they'll go with Cheumaidoga. But I'm

335
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: with you there that I kind of would like to

336
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: see what TJ. Basket do. Maybe not against the Giants

337
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: week one against Exter Lawrence, but I am intrigued on

338
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: what he can do. All right, Do we have another

Speaker 2: some old old names here. Eugene the hitting machine Lockhart.

388
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: Eugene Lockhart had two hundred and twenty two tackles one

389
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: year as the record in nineteen eighty nine. That team

390

Speaker 2: couldn't tackle, but one guy was doing it and it

391
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,359

Speaker 2: safety in the eighties. And Gerald Sensible. Gerald Sensible. You

396
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,520

397
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: record's been broken, but he had the record at the

398
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: Combine for the highest vertical leap. I was like forty

399
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 2: six inches or something. Some of the ridiculous. I think

400
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,159

415
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: So when you ask a question, I'm not just asking

416
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: right back and get your thoughts.

417
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 15: Okay, Well my question is I just wanted to get

418
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 15: your overall thoughts on the NFC East, Like, do you

419
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 15: think it's going to be better? Do you think the

420
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 15: teams are all going to be stronger in general? Or

421
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 15: I know some of the teams made some moves and

422
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 15: you know, the Giants made the playoffs last year and

423
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 15: obviously the Eagles and US. So I just wanted to

424
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 15: get your take on that. And also I have an

425
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 15: old player for you, Richie Anderson. I believe he led

426
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 15: the team in receptions when.

427
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: You're yeah, two thousand and four, left handed Richie Anderson

428
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 2: threw a touchdown against Washington on a Sunday or Monday

429
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: night game. I remember left handed past to Terry Glenn.

430
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: I remember Parcels loved him. He was a bill parcels

431
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: guy for sure, So.

432
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 15: I do remember that those are the Parcels years right

433
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 15: before or right around the Romo time, right before Romo

434
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 15: came in, right.

435
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: Right, all right. Thanks for the call, Victor. To answer

436
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: the question about the NFC East, I mean, I think

437
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: it's I mean, I think it's going to be competitive.

438
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: And he kind of goes up and down, you know.

439
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: I mean, a couple of years ago it was the

440
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 2: worst division and football seemed like and then last year

441
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: was it was I think it was the best, and

442
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: so I think it's going to be pretty good again.

443
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it always has its peaks and valleys. We'll

444
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: see if that the street continues. I think we're up

445
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: till a twenty years in a row, we have not

446
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: had a consecutive NFC East winner. I know Philly's trying

447
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: to change that, but I think Philly's gonna be really good.

448
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys are gonna be good. I think

449
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: the Giants are still right there third, but they're they're

450
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 2: probably the best third place team in the NFC East,

451
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: and we'll find out. I mean that they have something

452
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: to say about it. Washington, their defense is still is

453
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: still gonna be good. And when you have a good

454
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: defense that travels. We saw that with Philly last year.

455
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: Their first loss was at home against Washington. So they're

456
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 2: always gonna be tough because they have a really strong defense.

457
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: So that those guys right there, I think are gonna

458
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: are gonna be really good. All right, another phone call,

459
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: I think Geo on the line. Is that? Who we got?

460
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 16: Geo?

461
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 4: Jersey?

462
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: Nick?

463
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 17: Oh?

464
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: What's up man?

465
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 6: I'm good brother. Listen, I got two quick questions for you.

466
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 6: You've been around the Boys forever. It's the fastest Cowboys

467
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 6: offense you've seen. I mean, we've got wide receivers like

468
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 6: burn Us, like Cook's lamb, and then the half back

469
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 6: position were Pollard and vond you had turfing in there.

470
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 6: And then our tight ends now they're faster than what

471
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: we've usually had right shut and we're witting before And

472
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 6: then my second question is is that this division is

473
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 6: stacked with good to elite defensive lines. Does losing an

474
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 6: elite past blocking back like Zeke, Well, that hurt it

475
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 6: this year, and how do you counter that this year?

476
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 6: I'll let you go.

477
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: Thank you, all right, man, thank you? And I love

478
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: two questions that to me tie into each other. Love

479
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: that and I don't know if you meant to do that.

480
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: I'll go with the second one first, because yeah, I mean,

481
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 2: running the ball right up the middle is gonna be

482
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: gonna be tough. I think it's one of the reasons

483
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: why Tyler Smith is playing left guard. I mean, they

484
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: need that push right up the middle. It's one of

485
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 2: the reasons that they said, you know what, we do

486
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: need to pay Zach Martin. We'ren't expecting to, but we

487
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 2: have to. We got it. We got to show up

488
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 2: that middle. You got to be able to run the ball.

489
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: Terrence Steels also a really good run blocker as well.

490
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're gonna run the football against it. They're

491
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: gonna try, at least against these teams. But if it

492
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: doesn't work out, goes back to your first point. Speed.

493
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: Speed can alleviate a lot of these issues. And sometimes

494
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 2: when you can't run the ball right up the middle,

495
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to take it to the outside. And

496
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: what do you need for that? You obviously have to

497
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: have speed. I think. I think it's a great point.

498
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 2: It is the fastest offense I've seen in a long time.

499
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: I mean, because your quarterback is able to move more

500
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: than the other quarterbacks that have been here. The receivers though,

501
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: just from top to bottom, you've got some home run

502
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: threats running back to even your third running back Douce

503
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: font and Rico Daddles. Your second running back Tony Pollard

504
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: obviously can take it to the house. So yeah, tight

505
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: ends as well. I think that they're athletic. They've got

506
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: some guys that can stretch the field. So yeah, this

507
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: is probably the most athletic offense that I've seen in

508
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: a long time, and I think that you're gonna have

509
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: to to do that. You're gonna need to utilize these

510
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: guys all over the field. All right, Terry from Shawnee, Oklahoma,

511
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: We're going to go back to the phone line. Terry

512
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: from Shawnee, Oklahoma.

513
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 7: Terry, Yeah, the reason I'm calling. I saw where the

514
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 7: Cowboys signed two players and to the hear myself, yeah,

515
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 7: Hallow is one of them and another guy which is

516
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 7: a defensive tackle. But I hadn't heard anything about them

517
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 7: and what positions do they really play.

518
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate the call there from Shawnee, Oklahoma. I

519
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: believe that's Oklahoma Baptist University is there. It's where my

520
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: mom went to school, so that I know a little

521
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: bit about Shawnee, Oklahoma. Harlowe. I believe so you're talking

522
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: about there on offense, a guard or center actually is

523
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: a center that they picked up on. He's on the

524
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: practice squad. I think eventual he might be a guy

525
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: that they can elevate to the game if they need

526
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 2: it this week, it would probably be brought Hoffman instead,

527
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: and I'd have to I'd have to go look at

528
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: the roster again. On another guy that they brought in

529
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: defensive tackle. I'm now one hundred percent sure on that

530
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't ring a bell. It's a practice squad player.

531
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: I believe who you're referring to. Don't remember another guy

532
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: that they brought in. But I don't think that that

533
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 2: he's gonna be somebody that will be active this week.

534
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: Harlow probably won't. I would think Hoffman is the one

535
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: if they if they need all right, we're gonna we're

536
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: gonna keep going to the phone lines here Maurice to

537
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: come and wash that. What's up?

538
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, how you doing it?

539
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm great, man, you I'm doing great man.

540
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful day. Hey. My question is, I'm still

541
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: a little bit concerned about this Tyler Smith situation. I'm

542
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 3: wondering how much does that affect the scheme and the

543
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: game plan if he's not able to go? What you

544
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: think about that?

545
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 7: Yeah?

546
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: I think, uh, I think with if he doesn't play,

547
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: I think you you lose a little bit of an

548
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: interior strength, and I think that you're gonna go more

549
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: sideline to sideline. You're gonna have some some stretch plays

550
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: or running wide. You know. I We'll see what what

551
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: E Dooga's got. I mean, I've said all along I

552
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: thought he's a guard. I mean, they played him in tackle.

553
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: I would have he's got guard body like he you know,

554
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 2: he's got That's where he played well, uh, right before

555
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: he got hurt. I believe it was with Atlanta last year.

556
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: So I kind of thought he was gonna be the

557
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 2: guy to compete at left guard this year. If Tyler

558
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: Smith was playing left tackle. They resigned you know, or

559
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 2: not resigned, but they restructured uh Tyron Smith and removed

560
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 2: Tyler inside. But I think he doga can handle it.

561
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: I don't think you changed that much. He's got some

562
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: size and strength to him. But but I you know,

563
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: the screen game may not be the same. That's one

564
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: thing about this team. I don't want to give away things,

565
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: but I think they may run the screen a little

566
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: bit more then then we've seen in the past, which

567
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: hasn't been a great screen screen pass team since Dorset

568
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: was doing it back in the day. Really, but I

569
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: think that they have the players on the team now,

570
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: going back to the last call with the speed, I

571
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: think that this could be something that we see a

572
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: little bit more screen passes. And if that's the case,

573
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 2: you do need those athletic guys to get out there

574
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: in space and pull all right, the phones or phone

575
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: lines are going in, Bob from Grand Valley, Bob, what's up?

576
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 18: Hey, Nick?

577
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: How you doing, Buddy?

578
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: Great Man? How are you? Bob?

579
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 18: I'll tell you what I'm really looking forward to. Sunday

580
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 18: night out. Yeah, you know, the giants hurtin. You're not

581
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 18: going to have an advantage despite having an extra man

582
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 18: in the bike bill Sunday night, because that extra man

583
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 18: in their back bill is going to be one number

584
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 18: of eleven eleven one. Mister Michael Parker, He's going to

585
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 18: live back there, h hey. And what that's going to

586
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 18: do is not only him making sacks and pressure in

587
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 18: the quarterback. That pressure that he's going to put on

588
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 18: a quarterback is going to mister Jones to make newmore

589
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 18: a mistake. And uh, I think our secondary is going

590
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 18: to feast off of that and they're going to really

591
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 18: come up with some turnovers. That's what I got for you, Betty.

592
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: I have a great day.

593
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Thank you so much for the call. Bob.

594
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: I did get a text line question about that Dan

595
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: from Philly.

596
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 19: Uh.

597
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: He said, not worried as much about Barkley, more worried

598
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: about Daniel Jones scrambling on broken plays to extend the drive. So, yeah,

599
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones can can make some plays. And that's one thing.

600
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy said that that Trey Lance was actually used

601
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: on the scout team and and kind of able to

602
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: to simulate a little bit of what what Daniel Jones

603
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: can do. He's probably a little better athlete, but but

604
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: but you know, I think Jones is good at those

605
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: type of plays, broken plays where where you know it's

606
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: wide open there in the middle and he can go

607
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: and slide, get your first down and all that stuff.

608
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons, I think that's going to be the key

609
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: is is how they how they go, you know, away

610
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: from him at times. That's why it's so important for

611
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 2: him to be able to rush really from three spots.

612
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: He needs to rush from left side, right side, and

613
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: sometimes up the middle because that is going to be

614
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: the first read. I remember, uh, there's a game way

615
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: back in the day with Patriots played the Ravens. I

616
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: think it was in the playoffs, and it's been it's

617
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: been you know, well documented that that on on Brady's

618
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: wristband it said find twenty every play talking about Ed Reid.

619
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: I probably need to find Ray Lewis too, but find

620
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: twenty every play and read Ed Reid would go all

621
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: over the place. I don't think anyone's going to just

622
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: write that on their on their armband, but find eleven

623
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: on every play. Has got to be something that Daniel

624
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: Jones and every other quarterback has to has to to

625
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: realize because he's going to be that much of a

626
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: difference maker all over the place. All right, A little

627
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: bit on overtime here we'll see if we got any

628
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: more calls. We got some some throwback players though from

629
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 2: Stephen Vermont, he said, what about Kevin Olgletree, especially for

630
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: playing the Giants this week? You know, that's one of

631
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: my favorite stories, honest. I actually in the book that

632
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: I wrote, If These Walls Could Talk, it was one

633
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: of the stories in there on Kevin Ogletree in the

634
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: twenty twelve game. It was a Wednesday night game, the

635
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: only time we've ever played on a Wednesday night, and

636
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: to open the year, they had just won the Super Bowl.

637
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: Kevin Ogletree's brother, I believe was in the hospital and

638
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: in New Jersey because that's where he was from that

639
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: day that Wednesday afternoon. He went and visited him in

640
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: the hospital, and then he comes back and has the

641
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 2: greatest game of his career, without a doubt. I think

642
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: he had two touchdowns, I had a huge third down

643
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: conversion to win the game. And that was the Kevin

644
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: Ogletree game, if there is one, And he won that game.

645
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: And that's why it's so exciting about a game like

646
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: this here on, you know, to start the season, because

647
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: you know, we wrote an article yesterday the X factors.

648
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: It's Micah, It's dak It's Daniel Jones, It's Barkley. It's

649
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: gonna be someone else. It's gonna be someone else is

650
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: gonna make a huge play. Deimone Clark's gonna have an

651
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: interception or force fumble or something something big.

652
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 16: You know.

653
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: That's that's what makes this thing so exciting. You don't

654
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: really know who who's gonna do it, Who's gonna make

655
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: that play. It's gonna be somebody and and you know,

656
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: and hopefully for the Cowboys it's it's it's someone you know,

657
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: like who's this year? Is Kevin Ogletree? You know, maybe

658
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: it's Jalen Tolbert or wouldn't that be a great story?

659
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: All right? Phone line again, This is Marquis from Alexandria, Virginia.

660
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 14: Hey, Marti Marquing.

661
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, Mark Marquis, Yeah, messes me up a

662
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: little bit, all right, Markey.

663
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 14: I think we all know D line O line and

664
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 14: very big. But I think a real key factor will

665
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 14: be our how we utilize the middle of the field

666
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 14: with our slide receivers are running backs off the backfield

667
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 14: to slow down their pass rush. But I think for us,

668
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 14: our biggest k on defense is gonna be on nickel

669
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 14: corner Blaine or Jordan Lewis, because big I'm trying to

670
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 14: get the ball out their hands quickly. They're gonna know,

671
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 14: trying to go to Diggs, trying to go to Gilmore,

672
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 14: how must gonna be a waste of time? That pass

673
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 14: rus't gonna be. So I'm sure the game plan is

674
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 14: going to be to get the ball out of Jones's

675
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 14: hands quickly. So our nickel corners are gonna have to

676
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 14: really be good, and vander Ash and Clark are gonna

677
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 14: really have to cover those flats. But I really am

678
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 14: looking forward.

679
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 10: To the game.

680
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 14: I like your new show.

681
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate that.

682
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 20: That's all I got.

683
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, man, Markus. And I can tell you this, Uh,

684
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: he played football. Marquis played football, and he probably played

685
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: in the slot because his keys for the Cowboys offense

686
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: is the slot receivers and also on defense it's the

687
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: slot corner. And and that's and he's he's right because

688
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: because that's that's where the game happens, that's where it's

689
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 2: so fast, that's where you know you can do everything

690
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 2: you want to protect the outside, protect the corners. They

691
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: have a sideline to help these inside slot cornerbacks though

692
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: they have no help, and and you're going up against

693
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: and you know, I think gone are the days where

694
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: you're just going up against the Oza Keem or something

695
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: like that in the slot that's a short little guy,

696
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 2: possession guy or Wayne Corbette. No, no, no, these these studs,

697
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: these ce d Lambs and AJ Brown's and all the

698
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: all the top receivers, they line up all over the place,

699
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: and so you know, it really puts a lot of

700
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: pressure on your slot corner. And Deron Bland I think

701
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: they found somebody special there. And Jordan Lewis is really

702
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: good at it as well, but I think Dern Bland

703
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: is a guy that they're going to have in here

704
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: for a long time to be playing in the slot.

705
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 2: And the same goes the other ways with the Cowboys

706
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 2: because Brandon Cooks can line up inside. We've seen Gallup

707
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: do it at times in CD as well, so that

708
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a big match up there. I know

709
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: the Giants were really excited about their guy Dorry Jackson

710
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 2: this year. They think he's going to have it take

711
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 2: it to another level. Well, we're gonna find out, because

712
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 2: you know, you go up against Cede lamb to start

713
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 2: the year. All right, the phone line again, Joe in Florida.

714
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 16: Hey, how's it going?

715
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 19: Man?

716
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: What's up?

717
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 6: Joe?

718
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 18: God?

719
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 3: Too much?

720
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 17: Man?

721
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 16: Long time.

722
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: I love you guys.

723
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 17: I love you on the break man, So I really

724
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 17: love love your your new new show here. But I appreciate.

725
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 17: I have a quick question. I'm always curious about why NFL,

726
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 17: pretty much every other sports league makes makes this knowledgeable

727
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 17: to the public on what a player gets paid. I'm

728
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 17: always curious about that because your job, my job, everybody

729
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 17: else's job. We don't do that, And I was just

730
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 17: wondering why that is.

731
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think the the reason why it

732
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: is is because of your you have a salary cap

733
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: that that that everybody can can pull from. Everybody knows

734
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: what the salary cap is, and everyone has the same amount.

735
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: So really it's not so much I don't I don't

736
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 2: know if it's so much about the players. It's also

737
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: about the management of the team and the GM and

738
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: how they structure things and and and why and and

739
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: and probably all stems from the fact of back in

740
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: the day, the early parts of the salary cap, like

741
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: why would this team cut this player? Why would the

742
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, get rid of Joe Montana or the

743
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: Cowboys ever cut Troy Aikman. I mean, that's what I

744
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: would guess. And then it's like, well, well we didn't.

745
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 2: We love Troy Aigman. He's gonna be in our Ring

746
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 2: of honor. But it's because of this. It's because of

747
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: Look look at the salary. Look and I think I

748
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: think that's kind of where it all, where it all

749
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: stems from. I mean, it's also the structure of the team. Uh,

750
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 2: you're right, it's it's different. But then again, everything's different

751
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: between what we're making and what they're making, and and

752
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: and you know, and you know, I think I think

753
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: when when you have ticket prices the way they do

754
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 2: for the fans, I mean, I think the fans feel

755
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: obligated to kind of know that I there's probably more

756
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: stories behind it. It's the first time I've actually been

757
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: asked that question, so you kind of got me on

758
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: that one. But but I you know, that's what I

759
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: would think. It would more to justify some of the

760
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: moves that they made from the front office positions. All right,

761
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: another caller, Irwin in Denver, Irwin.

762
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 21: What's up, Hey, Nick, what's going on not much. Man,

763
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 21: How are you You're doing great? Hey, I gotta I

764
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 21: got a question for you. I just want your thoughts

765
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 21: on this. Always think about these preseason games and the

766
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 21: fact that McCarthy doesn't play the starters. Just kind of

767
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 21: wondering what you were thinking about this Sunday night when

768
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 21: they come out there and play. Are they how rusty

769
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 21: are they're going to be? In particular Dak Prescott, because

770
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 21: it seems to me like the other teams for the

771
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 21: most part place their starters were a little bit and

772
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 21: then we don't they get into that first game and

773
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 21: they just looked sluggish, rusty and.

774
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 6: Out of sync. What do you think?

775
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: You know, you have a good point because of last year.

776
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you have that you can point to. I mean,

777
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: they scored three points against Tampa, you know, and we

778
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: saw at the end of the year just how the

779
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: Cowboys were related to Tampa, way better of a football team,

780
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: and they did not look good. Dak did not look

781
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: good at all in that game, you know, And you know,

782
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: you go back to twenty twenty one, Dak didn't do anything,

783
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: had been out, he didn't even practice because he had

784
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: like a armpit injury or whatever. That was an arm injury,

785
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: and they go out and he throws for about four

786
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 2: hundred yards and then you know, they lose thirty one

787
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 2: to twenty nine. But I thought the offense played well

788
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, there wasn't preseason because of COVID. In twenty nineteen,

789
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 2: they scored thirty five points against the Giants in Week

790
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: one and you know, look good doing that. And we

791
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 2: year before that eight points at Carolina. And I go

792
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: back to five years because since Romo got hurt in

793
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 2: that Seattle game, I don't think they've really used the

794
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: starters a whole lot. I mean maybe here and there.

795
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 2: Another counter to that, too, is think about in the

796
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: postseason when when a team takes a week off at

797
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: the end of the end of the year because they've

798
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: already locked something up and then they have a bye,

799
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: and then then they go into the playoffs and we're all,

800
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 2: what are we all were talking about? We're like, well,

801
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: what happens? I mean, the Russ factor. It's been two weeks,

802
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 2: they haven't done anything. Well, even if you played the

803
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: last preseason game, you still have two weeks. I mean,

804
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 2: it's still two weeks off. So the risk reward just

805
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: isn't there for me. You could play, you could play

806
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: your starters for three straight games, You're still going to

807
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: have two weeks off, really two and a half weeks

808
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: off because those are usually Thursday games at the last

809
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: one Thursday or Friday, and then and then you know,

810
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: you still got to deal with that. So for me, it,

811
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying, and you got to hope

812
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: that the Cowboys can kind of fight through that in

813
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: the first quarter or so. But I think most teams

814
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 2: are going to have that rust factor except for Kansas City.

815
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: They just don't have any of that issues, which is

816
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 2: just good for them. All right. Another caller here, Dave

817
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: in a Popka, Florida. Dave, what's up, Hey?

818
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 16: What's going on?

819
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 17: Brother?

820
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: How are you?

821
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 16: I'm doing well? Hey, Nick, I got a special teams

822
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 16: question for you. And I've asked people this question before.

823
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 16: Why don't they put Deuce Vaughn on the punt team

824
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 16: in the backfield with the punter. He is so short

825
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 16: they couldn't see him, and I thought think that they

826
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 16: lost an opportunity during the preseason to use him as

827
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 16: a fake. You just have him run left or right,

828
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 16: run up the middle, do a fake pass or something

829
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 16: like that. I think that be great if the Cowboys

830
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 16: special teams coach could incorporate something like that.

831
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: What do you think, Well, I think that if if

832
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 2: there's a fake to be had on special teams, uh,

833
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: you know, John Fossil is gonna do it, or he's

834
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: thinking he's you know, laying awake at night coming up

835
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: with another one. I mean that's what he does. I mean,

836
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 2: he's gonna have some fake punts.

837
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 11: Now.

838
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 2: I don't know about throwing it out in the preseason

839
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: unless you're just not gonna do it again, unless you

840
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: want to throw out fakes for the reason of just

841
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 2: to try to to to scare teams in their coverage.

842
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: Because that's what Fossil's done. He's he's thrown so many

843
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 2: fakes that teams that go up against them know, Okay,

844
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: his reputation is fake punts. So we have to stop

845
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,479
Speaker 2: for that. And he hardly ever does it. Of course,

846
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: he did it and Thanksgiving against Washington, and I don't know.

847
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: If we've run another fake punts, it's then But no,

848
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 2: I think you know, who knows what duce Van's role

849
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 2: is going to be. I mean, they're they're gonna have

850
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: some some things for him. They'll have some wrinkles. As

851
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: great as that sounds, to put him back there and

852
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 2: see what he could do. Let's see what happens when

853
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: a when a linebacker shoots right up there, right over

854
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 2: the deep snapper and he's going one on one with

855
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 2: him at full speed. You know, Kenny Canny block him?

856
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: Do you want him to block him? And make sure

857
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 2: you don't have a block punt. So there's always, as

858
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: Bill Parcells would always say, there's two sides to the

859
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: pancake there, and yeah, you can put them out there,

860
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: but you also have to make sure that you block them.

861
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: I got every time I see text messages, but I

862
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: also see calls. When I see calls, I'm sorry, I

863
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 2: lean towards the calls because that's what makes the show

864
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: fun in my opinion. Chris in San Angelo, what's up, Chris?

865
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 6: I'm doing well?

866
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 18: Nick?

867
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you a Rams fan over there? I'm

868
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 2: not not not l a Rams a.

869
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 16: Absolutely all right.

870
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a rival to my school Midwestern state

871
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: national champions last year. That's right, that's right. So we'll

872
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: see what my Midwestern State Mustangs can do there against

873
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: the Rams, all right.

874
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: What you we will.

875
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 19: My question is, you know, the Cowboys after some cuts,

876
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 19: a few of their players went to other NFC teams

877
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 19: and then they ended up getting one back from the Giants.

878
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 19: Are you any kind of believer in that could those

879
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 19: players could help with the game planning or do you

880
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 19: think that's just something that's fun to talk about it.

881
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 2: I think it's fun to talk about. I really do.

882
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: I don't. I think if it was a quarterback, you know,

883
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: I do I think that when Tom Brady played the

884
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: Patriots a year later, Do I think that he could

885
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 2: have helped their defensive coordinator, you know, with some stuff

886
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: or offensive coordinator. Yes, I do, but but I don't

887
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 2: think that certain guys that go, you know, like Dennis

888
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 2: Houston at wide receiver just trying to learn that the

889
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 2: playbook over there the Giants. I don't know who you're

890
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: referring to, but I know that was one. He's not

891
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 2: going to help what they're trying to do over there,

892
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: Like like, he's not going to go into their defensive

893
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: coordinator and be able to talk to about he needs

894
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: to figure out just how that he can get on

895
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: the field. So you know, I no, I think it's

896
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 2: a little bit overblown. I think there are some quarterbacks

897
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 2: that could do it, and maybe some longtime veterans that

898
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: understand what they're doing. Yeah, they probably can help. But

899
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: maybe for somebody that you're cutting now, it's because they

900
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: couldn't pick up their own offense, but much less figure out, uh,

901
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 2: you know, how to how to spread it to the

902
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: next team. All right, I do have another call Sam

903
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: and Philly. Sam, what do you got?

904
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 3: How you doing?

905
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 14: Nick?

906
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan.

907
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 20: Of yours, man, I been listening for a long time.

908
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 20: I got your book right here too.

909
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Thank you, man.

910
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 20: I just want to talk about the team in general, okay,

911
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 20: I mean, because we've been so used to like mediocrity

912
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 20: for so long. And then listen. I'm a big fan

913
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 20: of Jerry. I love Jerry, and Jerry's biggest fan. But

914
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 20: don't you see how like they brought in new coaches,

915
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 20: they brought in Dan Gunn, they brought Mike McCarthy, and

916
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 20: there's like some more stip stability going on where they're

917
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 20: actually winning and they're actually getting to the second round consistently.

918
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's that's the question. Yeah, I mean,

919
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: it's not been like.

920
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 20: I don't think, like, I don't think that the players

921
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 20: were necessarily the problem of like, you know, they obviously

922
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 20: have better players nowadays. Yeah, but they had some good

923
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 20: teams with Romo and then like, I just think the

924
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 20: coaching was terrible and keep Jason Garrett around for that

925
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 20: long was like a big mistake.

926
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: Well, Jason Garrett was like, I mean Jason, you know,

927
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: was it Jason Myers from or is his name from

928
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth? I mean, like or Freddy Kruger. I mean,

929
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 2: like you think it's over, Like this is it? I mean,

930
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: you're the hot Seaton, you know. Then he goes twelve

931
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: and four, then he goes thirteen and three, and then

932
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: it's eight and eight, and every time you were like,

933
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: I mean really go back and look at those years.

934
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you could make the case when he went

935
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: eight and eight three years in a row, one of

936
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 2: those he could have he could have moved on. But

937
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: Jerry's not trying to do that. Jerry's not trying to

938
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 2: He wants to build some continuity, so he's not trying

939
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: to just just fire people after a year or two.

940
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 2: So you know, he's gonna he's gonna let him in

941
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: every time. Jason Garrett kind of helped himself there with

942
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 2: with having a great season when he was when the

943
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: hot seat was was at its hottest. So that's I

944
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 2: think that I think that you're you're right. The coaching

945
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 2: could have been could have been better at times, but

946
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: you know, they Jason Garrett, I think that he.

947
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 20: Got extremely lucky getting dan Quinn. And I think he's

948
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 20: even luckier that he's sticking that he's sticking around.

949
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I mean, look at the look.

950
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 20: At what the guy does, dude. The guy took Seattle

951
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 20: and that that.

952
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 18: That team was all defense.

953
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 20: Dude, Like he was the reason why they won that

954
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 20: Super Bowl, why they got to the super Bowl. Then

955
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 20: he goes to Atlanta, they go to the super Bowl.

956
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 20: We're lucky to have that, dude. And like if he

957
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 20: would have just picked better coaches along the way, Romo

958
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 20: could have. You know, I'm a big Romo fan. Yeah,

959
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 20: huge Romo fan.

960
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean also that they had.

961
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 20: Those good teams and you know what I mean, they

962
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 20: couldn't really do anything because they had Rod Marinelli and

963
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 20: Jason Gettt.

964
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: I hear you. And also that they're lucky that dan

965
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 2: Quinn wants to stay and he's not looking to be

966
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 2: a head coach right this second, so that they've been fortunate.

967
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: Most of the time you get a head coach that

968
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 2: when the when the when they're calling to become a

969
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 2: head coach, you take it. So, you know, and Jason

970
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: Garrett had a couple of chances too, and he and

971
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 2: he didn't. He passed and he stayed, And you know,

972
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: I think Jason Garrett was a good coach. But but

973
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 2: good coaches don't necessarily went. Great coaches I have got

974
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: to take you over the top. And I think that's

975
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: kind of where it stands. So all right, appreciate the call,

976
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 2: Appreciate all the calls. This is great. We had a

977
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: lot of calls went over time today. Cowboys breaks coming
