1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: The Cowboys storyline. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: All right back here on Cowboys storyline. Here, got about 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: twenty five more minutes to go. Halfway through, We've been 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 2: talking a little bit about the Thanksgiving Day game coming 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: up against Washington, also memories of how you became a 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: fan and things like that. We're trying to we're kind 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: of going a little slow here. We're trying to pick 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 2: up the pace, trying to get a little bit more callers. 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: I think we've got one on the line, Dylan in Northport, Florida. 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 2: Chris will be ready for that. Dylan, Hey, Hey, Dylan, 11 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: how you doing? 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 3: Good? Man? Good? I listen. 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 4: I was gonna cry about the Eagles last night. I 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 4: really want to, but I'm not going to Hell, let's 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 4: let it go. I'll follow and just god, they got 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 4: to lose the fumble at some point. I think the Eagles. 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: They definitely they definitely get fumbles. I'm telling you, like, 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't bother me. None of this bothers me because 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: of the game that I saw two weeks ago. I 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: just I feel like, if you got to go up 21 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: to Philadelphia a game, you just go up there and 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: beat them this time. I mean, yeah, you've already you've 23 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: lost games. They're probably not gonna lose you know that 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: many games. They're a good football team. But I don't 25 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: think the Cowboys are that far off. So I just that, Yeah, 26 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: that would have been nice if Kansas City did that, 27 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: But I don't expect the Cowboys to really catch Philly. 28 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: I don't think they can at this point. But I 29 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: don't know if you. Yeah, That's why I look at 30 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: it like, I'm just not not concerned about Phillies. Philly 31 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: is good. But what goes up comes down, you know 32 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: what I mean. If you lose, you lose five or 33 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: six fumble and you keep you keep recovering, you're gonna lose. 34 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: I mean, they'll they'll get theirs. It'll it'll happen. 35 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 4: All averages, right, yeah, I mean, you know, become of 36 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 4: drops last night with chiefs and just luck of the 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 4: balances and some of that stuff. Man, you're absolutely I 38 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 4: think they got some groceries up their butts or something. 39 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. 40 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 4: They might need to get those out. 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: They get the rain and they get I mean, honestly, 42 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: I mean Kansas City moved up and down the field 43 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: on them, you know, and turn pick fumble. I mean 44 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: Kelsey fumbles inside, they throw a pick, you know that 45 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: they drop a touchdown. I mean, they they I mean 46 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: I thought Kansas City out played them, but but they 47 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: they didn't though they didn't make enough plays there. I mean, 48 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: credit Philly. They you can't. You can't luck into nine 49 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: and one. You just can't. I mean, they're they're they're good. 50 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 4: It's one of those seasons for them where they do 51 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 4: have a good team and you know they're getting the 52 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 4: luck at the balance too. But like you said, it 53 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: all comes back, so you know, I'm hoping it comes 54 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 4: back and playoff time and they get knocked out. I'd 55 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: be nice to see, sure, But yeah, man, I guess 56 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: how I became a fan. I grew up in upstate, 57 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 4: New York. And it's not really a firm answer to 58 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 4: this one. I think that I have a theory. My 59 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 4: dad used to bet a lot right on games when 60 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 4: I was a kid, and I watched the Cowboys basically 61 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 4: every week they're on TV. And he's always betting on 62 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 4: the Cowboys, rooting for him because there's money in the line, 63 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 4: and I think, just by osmosis, I think that's how 64 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 4: I became a fan. And you know, early two thousands 65 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: is when I really started paying attention. I was old 66 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 4: enough at that point, and I didn't really know anything. 67 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 4: I had really no hope for the team. Just you know, 68 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 4: there wasn't much going on in those days. And then 69 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: two thousand and six comes along and Thanksgiving. I think 70 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: that was my favorite Thanksgiving game. Roma five touchdowns that game, 71 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: and it was the first season where I was like, wow, 72 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 4: like the Cowboys might do something and then we all know, 73 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: you know how that ended. But that was a that 74 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 4: was a fun year for sure, and a good Thanksgiving 75 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 4: Day game. 76 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: Cool, Yeah, that was a good one. Beat the Bucks 77 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: that day. Ramo was he was he was making sure 78 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: he was getting touchdown passes. I mean, they should have 79 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: been running the ball at Marion Barber, but he decided 80 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: to throw at to Barry and Barber. But yeah, he 81 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: was getting for two. 82 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think Mary had two reception touchdowns. Yeah, 83 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 4: and then real quick just uh you know, I watched 84 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 4: the tape yesterday that game on Sunday, and there was 85 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 4: a couple of plays that stuck out to me that 86 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 4: that Bland interception even more impressive watching that tape because 87 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: he he's got a cross with the guy across the 88 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 4: field man cover, which is like one of the hardest 89 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: things that defensive back can do with the receiver. And 90 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: then there's a tight end that that runs shripp the 91 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: team tries to pick him missus, so he's got to 92 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 4: go around that tight end, come back underneath and picked 93 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 4: up ball off. 94 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: So that was nice. 95 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 4: And then the uh that Tony Polar toss Terrence Steel 96 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: knocking those two guys out love to his helmet. That 97 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: was that was really cool. And then you know the 98 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: center there, he's running up the field trying to find 99 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: somebody to blocks. Steel blocks those two guys, and then 100 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: the center's like, oh crap, and I gotta find somebody 101 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 4: else to go block, so he turns up and that 102 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: was the cool play to love. 103 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good one. The thing that I 104 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 2: impressed me the most about the Bland play was the 105 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: pop up, just like to go down, I mean, and 106 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: then I guess you do it all in one motion, 107 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: just to go down and then just to pop back 108 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: up there. I mean, he's got the ball, so he 109 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: can't really use his arms to brace himself. I mean, 110 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: think about that if you just go to your living 111 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 2: room and just kind of fall down and then pop 112 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: up and try to see what happens. 113 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: It's been kind of reactionary play that Big sat against 114 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 4: the Patriots on that interception for a touchdown a couple 115 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 4: of years ago, where he's like, got a hurdle, the 116 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 4: guy catch the ball at the same time, like just 117 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 4: I think having that natural ability and agility and dexteria, 118 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 4: do you guys, is not something you can fix whatthing 119 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: you have or you. 120 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: Don't so well, And it's probably the reason why you're 121 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: in an NFL corner and other people aren't. I mean, 122 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: that's the thing to be an NFL cornerback and to 123 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: cover the best, you know, athletes in the world. I mean, yeah, 124 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 2: you are a different breed for sure. All Right, good stuff, Dylan, 125 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: thank you for the call. Let's go. They've got a 126 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: couple of text questions here, Chris and Fort Lauderdale. He 127 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: says his memory of Thanksgiving is the ninety three snow 128 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: game Miami with leon Let leon Let gaff there by 129 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 2: the end zone. John and Michigan says his best memory 130 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 2: is leon let snow fumble thirty years ago. This week, 131 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: I'm my best memory. I mean I don't I didn't 132 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: love that game, but you know, I will say this, 133 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: and I've said it before. You know, when you lose 134 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: a tough game like that. The Cowboys were a really 135 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: good team in ninety three, trying to win back to back. 136 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: They lost that game in Miami. They didn't lose another 137 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: game that year, you know that, so they were able 138 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: to overcome it. And then you know the best part 139 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 2: about that story, And and I say this because we 140 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: did a documentary on on leon Let about six years ago, 141 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 2: and and I really you know, he talked about that 142 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: game and what he was thinking and all that kind 143 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: of stuff, and you know, just kind of listening to 144 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: his story was amazing and just how it all came 145 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: full circle. But you know, they were losing by a 146 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: touchdown in the Super Bowl that year. At halftime, down 147 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 2: thirteen to six to the Bills, the team they had 148 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: just beaten about thirty five of the year before. What's 149 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: going on? What's up with this team? Is this? Is 150 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: this finally gonna happen for Buffalo? The Cowboys just can't 151 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: do it. Thirty seconds into the third quarter, leon Let 152 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: bust through the line, hit Thurman Thomas, the ball came 153 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: loose and James Washington picked it up. We just waiting 154 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: to the end zone for a touchdown to tie the game. 155 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: Just like that. If you you went to go get 156 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: food and you came down to sit in your seat, 157 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 2: it was already tied because of Leon. Let that right 158 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 2: there is, to me is the most full circle moment 159 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, you had to play that everyone will remember. 160 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 2: But the one that he changed the game to win 161 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: that Super Bowl, That's what's pretty awesome about that. All right, 162 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 2: let's go to the as.

I wish the game last night would 171 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: have turned out a little bit different. I'm not sure 172 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: exactly how good a receiver is if he's really really 173 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: fast and take the top off the defense but can't 174 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: catch a ball. But we let's have to take that 175 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: and see how the cards fall. Yeah, but I'll tell 176 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: you what if if dron Blanc keeps playing the way 177 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: he's playing, I think we may have to second guess, Uh, 178 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: who is the best defensive player on our team? Yeah, 179 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: I mean he's he is. Actually he's putting in I 180 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: think a really strong case for Defensive Player of the Year. 181 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: He gets a couple of more picks and another pick six. 182 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: That's a new record. I don't think you can ignore 183 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: that on the as a player of the year. There's 184 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: more to a game in sacks. 185 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, are you let's just say it, I mean, 186 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: are you saying he's more valuable than Michael Parsons? I mean, 187 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: is that? What is that where we're getting at here 188 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: or or other players? 189 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's a valuable as Michael Parsons. 190 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: M I like, how see, here's the thing. Who cares? 191 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: I mean because you got both? Like you do have both? 192 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: I mean this is the thing. Like yeah, and they'll 193 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: probably take votes from each other and they won't win, 194 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: you know, defensive player of the Year. I just wrote 195 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 2: a mailbag answer to that. I don't see defensive player 196 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: of the year when I think of darn Blant. I 197 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: just don't nothing against him. I think he's playing awesome. 198 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: I just don't that's not I think he's had four 199 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: interceptions for touchdowns. You know, he's got six interceptions. He's 200 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: playing great guy, and Baltimore has six picks as well, 201 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: you know, But I just don't see him as player 202 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: of the year, the difference maker. He's not shutting down 203 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: the side and everyone else go over here. It's not 204 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: like Dion was back then. I don't I don't see 205 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: them that way. I think the biggest difference maker on 206 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: their defense is Michael Parsons. That's what I think it. 207 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: Might own mieh. Mike is incredible with the pressure that 208 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: he gets. But I think also, if I'm not mistaken, 209 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: dron also leads the league as the lowest QBR when 210 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: being thrown to his receiver that he's covering. Yeah, you 211 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: can't ignore that. 212 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: No, no, you can't ignore that. That's pretty awesome too. 213 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: And then that's a stat I don't know if I've 214 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: seen that stat. So no, no, there's more to it 215 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: than just the pick six is this isn't a guy 216 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: and one go ahead. 217 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry one more thing before you let you answer that. 218 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: When you were asking about our purtiest memories, I honestly 219 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: don't have any outstanding memories of Thanksgiving Day games other 220 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: than the Miami game, and I also remember the Super Bowl. 221 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: You know, Leon was a tremendous player in the Super Bowl. 222 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: Right. 223 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: But I grew up in hash, New Mexico when we 224 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: got our TV out of El Paso, Texas, So I 225 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: grew up with about forty miles north here of Las 226 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: Crusis from living now, and so the one game we 227 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: could get every week was Dallas and I can remember 228 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: sitting there five six years old with my dad watching 229 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. 230 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: That's awesome, and I just I can. 231 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: You know, I remember, you know, unfortunately for Jackie Smith. 232 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: I remember Jackie Smith dropping that ball.

Thanksgiving Day is the reason why I'm a 270 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 5: Cowboys fan. Nineteen seventy four, Uh, the Luke Longley game 271 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 5: when Rogers. 272 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 6: Stark had knocked out of the game. That was the 273 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 6: first football game that actually took it. 274 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: In out time out. Frank Luke Longley was a good 275 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: in the NBA. 276 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 5: Clint Longley, Clinton Longly, Clinton Longly in my bed. 277 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 2: I think good center. He was, he was a player, 278 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: he was a guy. You know, he won some championship. 279 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: Clint Longley. 280 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, Clinton Longly my bed, and he came in 281 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 6: and threw two touchdown passes in the last like five 282 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 6: minutes of the game. And ever since then, I've been 283 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 6: a Cowboys fans. 284 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 2: Yep. That was that was a memory.

But that 290 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: was that was a big one for sure. 291 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 6: And I think all the Cowboy fans have just relaxed 292 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 6: after the way Philadelphia played last night. I think will 293 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 6: be all right as long as we stayed the ship. 294 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 6: I think will be alright because Kansas City gate in 295 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 6: that game yesterday. 296 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it again, it's they're beatable. That's that's 297 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: the thing. Listen, They're they're beatable. They're beatable. You know, 298 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. They can they can be beat and 299 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: they're good, but they can be beat and you know, 300 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 2: they could have lost that one. But they're living right 301 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: right now. But that doesn't that doesn't hold up though, 302 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: It just it just doesn't. You'll they'll lose a game 303 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: that they you know, they already have lost one to 304 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: the Jets, but they'll they'll lose another game or two 305 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: like that.

But you know, 319 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 7: it is what it is. 320 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: Past that I thought you were going to tell me 321 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: a sad story about your family or something like that. 322 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, no no. You know, I'm 323 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 7: trying to get you know, the Cowboys to get the 324 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 7: easiest path to the super Bowl, and you know, or 325 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 7: you know, well, let me not get ahead of myself 326 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 7: to the playoffs.

And you know, if Philly would 328 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 7: have took a loss last night, that would have you know, 329 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 7: got us a little bit closer to that, and you know, 330 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 7: but uh, it is what it is. But one thing 331 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 7: I wanted to touch on too, is I'm really glad 332 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 7: that Jerry Jones did uh finally give the nod to 333 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 7: get Jimmy into the Ring of Honor. You know, It's 334 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 7: funny because I was sitting there watching, uh kind of 335 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 7: messing around with my phone and uh I clicked on 336 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 7: the site and it said Jimmy Johnson in the Ring. 337 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 7: I'm like, what I was like yes, and so then 338 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 7: I had to turn the channel and see what was 339 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 7: going on with that. But I'm really glad that that happened. 340 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 7: It's crazy because when I did find out, like a 341 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 7: wave of emotion like came over me, I don't know, 342 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 7: out of nowhere, like you know, I was just really 343 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 7: really happy that that that is now going to go 344 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 7: down and and getting back getting back to the game 345 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 7: last night. It's just like kind of like I think 346 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 7: you said yesterday, you know, it's so hard to win 347 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 7: a Super Bowl because you got to have so many 348 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 7: things going right for you, you know, in the course 349 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 7: of the season, and you kind of touched on it yesterday, 350 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 7: you know, as uh, you have you have to have 351 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 7: the talent number one, but you have to have some luck. 352 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 7: You have to avoid major injuries, you have to have 353 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 7: the ball bounce your way, which, like one caller said earlier, 354 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 7: Philly is to me, in my opinion, they're having a 355 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 7: lot of balls. 356 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 8: Bounced their way this year. 357 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 7: I mean, with whether it be a call or you know, 358 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 7: getting fumbled back or whatever. And I remember one year, 359 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 7: several years ago, we didn't actually go that far, but 360 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 7: we did. I was thinking to myself, I was like, man, 361 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 7: we actually have gotten a lot of calls go away 362 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 7: this year, and unfortunately we didn't really go anywhere that year. 363 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 7: I think we lost in you know, the divisional round 364 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 7: yet again. But I was just thinking that. But yeah, 365 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 7: you just you know, it's just so hard to win 366 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 7: a Super and you have to have so many things 367 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 7: go right, and again, I just wish that game would 368 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 7: have turned out different. But like you said, we'll just 369 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 7: have to find another way. And if it means going 370 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 7: to one of those places, either Philly or San Francisco 371 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 7: and winning on the road, we're just going to have 372 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 7: to do that. 373 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: Detroit, honestly, Yeah, or Detroit, that might be the team 374 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: to go to go. 375 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 7: So yeah, thanks for the and uh, happy Thanksgiving to 376 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 7: everybody there in the building and also all Cowboy nation 377 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 7: and be safe and go Cowboys. 378 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate the call, Tony.

They they come 396 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 2: into this and this's a short week for them, even 397 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: shorter because they gotta travel, and you know it, it'll 398 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 2: be a game Washington, will they they're like again, they're embarrassed, 399 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: you know, they lost to the Giants. They thought their 400 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: season is better than this.

He's in Colleen, Texas. Hey Nick, Hey man, 413 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 2: how are you doing. 414 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 10: I'm doing well. How are you? 415 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: I'm good? 416 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 3: All right? 417 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 10: Two things I've been listening the last couple of weeks. 418 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 10: I'm a teacher for on Thanksgiving break, so I can't 419 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 10: usually call in all right, so I'm glad I got through. 420 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 10: But favorite wrestler attitude era, I'm thirty six, so I 421 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 10: got to go with the Rock and Stone cold. Okay, 422 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 10: favorite Cowboys players again, thirty six, it's got to be 423 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 10: Romo and Witten together, okay. But a concern for me 424 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 10: on that I've seen all this stuff about Kirk Cousins 425 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 10: being an awesome teammate and helping out Dabbs and everything. 426 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 10: But it heard over the years that Ramo and Went 427 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 10: and weren't necessarily the best locker room guys for the 428 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 10: young talent coming up. Can you talk about that at all? 429 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 2: No? I mean it's you know, and and a lot 430 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: of that is perception too. You know, Winton's thing was, 431 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 2: wait before I keep get on this rant, is there 432 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 2: any other call or any other question or comment or anything. 433 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 10: Hey man, I'm hoping for good Turkey in a good 434 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 10: game on Thursday. 435 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 3: That's it. 436 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 10: Love your show, Love all you guys, and have a 437 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 10: blessed thanks Kevin Brother. 438 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: That's it, all right, appreciate that giving him a. 439 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 10: First time color. So I need a second thing to Chris. 440 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, he got he got one. And you know, I 441 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: think Chris missed one earlier. Who was that that called? 442 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: It was it Frank that called? And I was trying 443 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 2: to give it to him, but I think he was 444 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: on the line listen getting them. You know, Chris is 445 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: handling like eighteen different things going on today. So all right, 446 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: good stuff. Always love the first time caller. Appreciate that. 447 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: Oh and Witten as teammates, you know, Witten was it 448 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: was a little different with him. I mean, he he 449 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: just he was. He kind of reminds me a little 450 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 2: bit of Michael Jordan. And I know I'm going there, 451 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 2: but I'm just saying to the to the extent of 452 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 2: he was a really great player, but sometimes he needed 453 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: other things to kind of get him motivated. And even 454 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 2: if he was, he kind of made it up a 455 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, and I'm not saying he's making 456 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 2: up reports here, We've seen plenty of that. What I'm 457 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 2: saying is is that like, you know, like, oh, you 458 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: don't think I could do this, you know, like trying 459 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 2: to find some disrespect. And so they would draft Martellus 460 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 2: Ben at second round. They drafted Anthony Fassano's second round, 461 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 2: and he was kind of like, all right, second round, huh, 462 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: you know, like did I not go to the Pro Bowl? 463 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 2: Did I? I'll pro you know, you want another? And 464 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 2: so he he helped them, but he also was like 465 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: I'm not handing you the nice you could stab me 466 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: with it, you know what I mean, Like, I'm gonna 467 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 2: help you a little bit, but you got to pick 468 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: it up yourself. You know. I'm not trying to get 469 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 2: you to take my job. This is my spot. So 470 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 2: he kind of took things competitive from that standpoint. I'm 471 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: not saying he didn't help these younger guys, but I 472 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: think he helped him more with the way he the 473 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: way he carried himself, the way he got himself prepared, 474 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 2: you know, he's not It wasn't the greatest athlete in 475 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: the world. He's a good athlete, of course, but I'm 476 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: just saying he wasn't this dynamic, runaway from people, you know, 477 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: type of player. But he was really, really good, and 478 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: I think people looked at him that he was a 479 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 2: leader from that perspective. Romo, you know, Romo, I thought, 480 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 2: I think some of it, some of these stories you 481 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 2: don't always hear some of these stories. Romo Romo was 482 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: was a good leader in his own way as well. 483 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: But I think from Dak's standpoint, everyone remembers with Dak here. 484 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 2: You know, Dak credits Kellen Moore and Mark Sanchez for 485 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 2: kind of helping him a little bit more than Romo did. 486 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: But you got to remember too, Romo got hurt. Romo 487 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: was you know, when you get hurt and you come in, 488 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 2: you're rehabbing, you're on a different schedule. So when when Tony, 489 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: when Dak's doing all this, you know, in the rookie 490 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: year and all that, a lot of it, Romo wasn't. 491 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: Wasn't there for I'm not giving Romo a pass. There's 492 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 2: there's some some to that. I don't know if he 493 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 2: was you know, he didn't love it. He didn't hang 494 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 2: out with some of the young guys. He didn't hang 495 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: out in the locker room like like Dak does. But 496 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: then again, there's only one Dak, So you know, it's 497 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: probably not fair to compare Romo to Dak from a 498 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: leadership standpoint, because it sounds like when a lot of 499 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 2: these players come in from other places and they've been 500 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: with other quarterbacks, Dak doesn't. I mean, they they don't 501 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 2: compare to Dak either. So I'm probably not gonna be 502 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 2: I'm not the right person for this because I love 503 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 2: Romo and Witting. Both those guys are great, and I'm 504 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: not gonna sit here and say they were bad teammates. 505 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: But you know, they also were respectful for their own 506 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 2: career that they were. They were trying to, you know, 507 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 2: stay in the business as long as possible, So there's 508 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: kind of a fine line there. There is another two 509 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 2: other callers. Sorry I've been long winded here, got to 510 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 2: get going here. Shelton in camp had a first time caller, Shelton, what's. 511 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 8: Up, Hick? 512 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: How are you good? Good? What do you got my question? 513 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 8: Okay, So I've been a season ticket holder since two 514 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 8: thousand and seven, and I go there quite a few 515 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 8: times a year. But anyway, what I can't understand watch 516 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 8: is that there is no doubt that they got powdered 517 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 8: and they got Dowdy and stuff like that. And McCarthy 518 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 8: is a huge fan of having a fullback. Why don't 519 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 8: they use Lenky a lot more? So? You know, I 520 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 8: think they're relying too much on Dak's arm, which is great. 521 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 8: We all love to see that light it up. But 522 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 8: a lot of times when you played, like last year 523 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 8: in San Francisco and that they couldn't run the ball 524 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 8: effectually enough to open up the backs game, and they 525 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 8: got that big full back there and like to use 526 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 8: his e call the time. Why aren't they using him more? 527 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 8: Even when they've been ahead by forty points? Why don't 528 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 8: they put him in there to get some reps in 529 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 8: there and give Dowdy and powered, which are both good 530 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 8: chains of backs. But they got a big full back 531 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 8: in there. I'm surprised I don't use them. 532 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank you so much for the call, Shelton. 533 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: We're gonna have to get moving on. I'm going to 534 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 2: answer that, thank you for the call. I think they 535 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 2: are using him got to remember it. He did not 536 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: play a lot of fullback in college. He's big, he's 537 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: got the fullback size and body, but that's not really 538 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: what he's done. I mean, he's not here because he 539 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: was playing fullback. He was getting the ball. He was 540 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 2: a running back at North Dakota State. He wasn't a 541 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 2: running back at Ohio State. He was a running back 542 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: at North Dakota State. Let's be honest about that. And 543 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 2: he's still trying to transition into this. I think he's 544 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: doing some fullback things. He's doing some running back, he's 545 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 2: playing special teams. Again, let's not push this along here. 546 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: He's an undrafted free agent from North Dakota State. It's 547 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: not like teams don't value I mean, don't don't look 548 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 2: at this college. I mean I saw Carson Wentz got 549 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 2: drafted very very high from North Dakota State. Watson, the 550 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 2: receiver from Green Bay drafted high. This guy was undrafted. Okay, 551 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: so he's there's some flaws to his game that he's 552 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 2: still trying to get through. Let's don't push this along. 553 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 2: I think if they thought he was coming in and 554 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: it could be a dynamic from the start, he would 555 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: be I think he'll get there. I got to be 556 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: quick here. Let's go to Mark and Maryland as our 557 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 2: last caller. Mark, what's up? Man? 558 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 3: Hey? Nick? How you doing? 559 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you good? 560 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: Great show? I watched all the shows and I really 561 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: love what you guys are doing. Last favorite wrestlers hay 562 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 3: Stack Calhoun along, that's way. 563 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 2: Back Haystacks Calhoun okay. 564 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 3: And favorite cowboy I got two Tony Dorset and the 565 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 3: Manster Randy White. 566 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 8: Ye. 567 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 3: So last week you had a call. If we mentioned 568 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 3: some dark uniforms, and Michael Parson mentioned the same thing 569 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 3: last year he would like to see some dark uniform 570 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 3: for the cowboy. 571 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: Then they might do it. Then if Mike ha says 572 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: that they might, I mean Mike, he seems like he's 573 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: got that gun pulled over there, so maybe you'll see it. 574 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 3: So I created some and I would love to shame 575 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: him as possible. Anyway, I think that the Cowboys in 576 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 3: the red zone, if they would give Lips a chance 577 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 3: in the rezone, I think that would make the offense 578 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 3: dynamic because then you'll have the key on him as 579 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 3: well as Tony Pollott or whoever else is the able 580 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 3: running back in the backfield. And that's all I want 581 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 3: to say. Keep doing a good job on the show. 582 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: All I appreciate that two straight callers about Hunter lip 583 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 2: Key to two straight mispronunciations of his name. Uh, we 584 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 2: got we gotta learn his name first before he could 585 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: be like a dynamic goal line back. I again, I 586 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: said it before. I mean I think that they they 587 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: are still working on things with him. Uh he might. 588 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: He might be that guy. He might be a guy 589 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 2: that can you know, get into the end zone and 590 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: do that there. I you know, why not tried it earlier? 591 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 2: I mean shorty yards third and one fourth and one 592 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 2: at midfield, give the give him the ball, give him 593 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: a kind of a different wrinkle. They're probably working on 594 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: something there. Thinking he's a fullback. There might be a quick, 595 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: a quick you know run there with him up the middle. 596 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 2: I bet you that that that will happen. I don't 597 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 2: know if he'll be the featured back, but he could, 598 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 2: you know. I mean sometimes these things develop over time 599 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 2: like that. So you know, you guys aren't wrong for 600 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: thinking that it might be something that they're working on. 601 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: But again, don't forget he's an undrafted rookie and he's 602 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: still you know he's got things to figure out. He's 603 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 2: not just gonna come in here and just be Mike Alstott. 604 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just not gonna happen like that. But 605 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: it'd be that cooler if he was, because every time 606 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: he got the ball, we'd be like, all right, awesome. 607 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 2: A good way to finish the show. Thank you to 608 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 2: Chris Beam. Appreciate him. We'll see you guys tomorrow on 609 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: Cowboys Storyline. 610 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 611 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
