1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is these

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: What is up?

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: It is time for Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick Eatman here

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: and it is a Wednesday, getting Cowboys ready to go

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 3: for the Cowboys Patriots game coming up this week. Turning

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: the page officially from the last game. Obviously, we can

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 3: still talk about whatever you want, but I think it's

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: time to make sure that this focus is here for

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: the for the next game. Ezekiel Elliot's coming to town,

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick and the new England Patriots should be a

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: fun game. Cowboys storyline is always, you know, I let

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: you guys kind of talk about whatever you want. So

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: eight eight eight, eight, five five two to nine seven

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: the storylines are, you know, can this team turn the

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 3: turn this around? Can they bounce back from a game

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: like that? History shows, you know, recent history shows that

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 3: they do. The Cowboys are really good coming coming off

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: of a loss. I was looking this up last uh

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: about last season? Five losses? Last year? Uh, the Cowboys

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 3: came back and won every single game the next week,

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: and not only that, but they beat every team that

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: they beat was either a playoff team or had a

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: winning record. So uh, some of the best games of

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: the season came back from from losses. I mean at

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: the Minnesota game, everyone remembers they lost to Green Bay.

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: The week before, they lost to Jacksonville, and they came

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: back and beat Philadelphia. Of course, they lost the Washington

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: end of the year and beat Tampa Bay, so they

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: they they have done a pretty good job, a really

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: good job of bouncing back. Let's see if they can

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: do that this week. So it's gonna be a kind

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: of a different show. We'll we'll take as many calls

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: as we can right now, say, and half of the

36
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: show going to be joined by a guest. So I

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: made a friendly wager over the weekend for my own

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: college football team, Arkansas at LSU and did not get

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: that win. So uh, Danny McCrae will be coming in

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: and sporting a a some memorabilia for me to wear.

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: It's kind of a controversy a little bit because it

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: was supposed to be a jersey and he didn't do that,

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I think that we're going to

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: talk about it here in the second half of the show.

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: He'll come in and I have to wear some god

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 3: awful purple. But that's okay because that's what happened. All Right,

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: We're gonna go to the phone lines. We'll start this

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: thing off. Chris and Mississippi. Chris, what's up?

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: How you doing? Marry me?

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: I'm good, Chris.

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: Earlier this week, kind of sick of under the weather,

52
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: but I'm back better than ever. And I'm just gonna

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 4: say this, man, I wanted to call and be positive

54
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: like I was last week. But the more that I

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 4: think about it, the more that and I just wish

56
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: that cowboy fans would lay the blame where he's supposed

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: to be laid.

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, now, where is that?

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 4: This is professional team, professional coaches. Y'all are getting paid

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: a bunch of money. There is no sense I've seen

61
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: pee wee teams more ready to play a game than that.

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: The coaches cannot blame anybody but theirselves. There's no way

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: you knew all week you didn't have Zach Martin. You

64
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: had a really good choice. You know what was it

65
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: Wednesday when be Oddish went down? You had a really

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: good idea that you may not have be Oddish. And

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: you always need to have somebody ready for the left tackle,

68
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: because we all know Tyron missus at least three to

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: six games every year, so there's no choice in this.

70
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: And I mean that was awful. And everybody wants to

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: blame Dak for that pick and say, oh, well, you

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: know he rushed it. He rushed. Hello, if you're getting

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: hit from behind and you don't trust your left tackle,

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: you're gonna rush stuff regardless of what people say. Yeah,

75
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: he may have played decent all games, but that's also

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: on the coaches too, because you had an all Pro

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 4: or not all Pro, but Pro Bowl tackle last year

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: had left tackle that's playing guard for what I mean,

79
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: this is starting to become ridiculous and I want to

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: be like every other Cowboy fan every now and then,

81
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 4: I'm tired of seeing the same old stuff. And hey, Nick,

82
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: you know this as good as I do. You have

83
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: the leading tackler on your and the SEC last year

84
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 4: at linebacker on your practice squad.

85
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: I mean Tis.

86
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: Week he led the SEC last year as a linebacker

87
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 4: in tackles. And if Marcus Bell and Lanier Thomas and

88
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: stuff like that are not big enough to take on

89
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: linemen and get run over every dame, why don't you

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: try something different, put somebody else there with some beef.

91
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 3: I mean probably, and they probably will. I mean they

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: they have to do is thanks for the call, Chris,

93
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: and obviously and loyal to your Mississippi ties. And and

94
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: I don't I don't fault you for that at all.

95
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: I don't.

96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if the coaches staff is blaming anybody else.

97
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: I think the coaches blame them themselves, you know, I mean,

98
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: the only coach that really talks about it, I mean

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: the coordinators and and uh and of course Mike McCarthy,

100
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: and they took ownership for it, you know. I I

101
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: disagree with some of that a little bit. You know,

102
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 3: some of that stuff happened later in the week Thursday Friday.

103
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: I think I think on Friday there was a there

104
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: was a pretty good sense that that they were going

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: to have all of their linemen. So I don't know

106
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: if you if you can say all week long that

107
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: they they thought this, but still you you got to

108
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: be prepared for especially, like you said, Tyrone Smith, you

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: got to be prepared for that. I don't know if

110
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: they have a good enough plan there knowing that that

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: that could happen. It at any moment. But but I

112
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: was disappointed with the way the whole team just kind

113
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: of failed to rally. You know, it is supposed to

114
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: be next man up, and it's not just the guys

115
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: that got hurt, it's the you know you you you carry.

116
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 3: Everyone has supposed to rise to the occasion, and they didn't.

117
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: I think that they they all figured they could go

118
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: win win that game. I mean they could just whatever

119
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: the circumstance was, they would go and they would win.

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: And it definitely didn't happen. I thought Dak played okay.

121
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean the interception is just easy for for the

122
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: haters to kind of say, well, here we go again.

123
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: I don't you know, they were trying to rush to

124
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 3: get back in the game. You know, they had to

125
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: get a touchdown. There was not a good decision. Everyone

126
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: knows that. He knows it, so but don't I don't

127
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: look back and go, well, they lost the game because

128
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: of Dak. That's ridiculous, all right. Another call Darien from Houston. Darien,

129
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: what's up, yo?

130
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 4: Nick Man?

131
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Good?

132
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: How are you doing?

133
00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 5: Man?

134
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 6: I appreciate you doing that. The good work there back

135
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 6: in my boy, Dak Man. I think this team's gonna

136
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 6: be fine. I think they got caught looking past the

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 6: Cardinals a little bit like we all did. Really, two

138
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 6: quick questions. Lyle Collins was released about like two weeks ago.

139
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 6: He was going to start the season on TOUB. But

140
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 6: he's a free to sign anywhere pending of physical Would

141
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 6: you bring him back? Is maybe a swing tackle or

142
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 6: a backup guard if he clears? You know, I think

143
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 6: these injuries, injuries are probably gonna be a thing this year.

144
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: I think they need a guy with some experience and

145
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 6: position flex And then secondly, how concerned are you going

146
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 6: into this weekend with the Patriots having Zeke and now

147
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 6: Will Greer kind of getting in to tip off what

148
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 6: kind of things we're doing offensively with hand signals and

149
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 6: maybe audibles and whatnot.

150
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for the Carl good good stuff. The Liel situation,

151
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: you know, I think you always, you know, kick the

152
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: tires on on anybody really that that's played in the

153
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: league before and see if they still have some left.

154
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a reason why he was really obviously

155
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: reason why he hasn't been signed yet. But but that

156
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: but I think, you know, I'm sure the Cowboys have

157
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: done their homework on this and and and you know,

158
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: have have discussed it. I mean, I think you have to.

159
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: You have to discuss all options, you know. I think

160
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: I would look into it, But then again, I don't

161
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: know some of the situations that he's been dealing with,

162
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: and I don't really know all the backstory of kind

163
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: of what happened. I don't think he left with a

164
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: situation that he would never return. I didn't think it

165
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 3: was that bad. I know, a little bit of animosity

166
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: here and there, but usually that that's what happens anytime

167
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: you you part ways, you know, I think, and he

168
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 3: was excited about it, fresh start and all that. I

169
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 3: don't I just don't know where he is physically or

170
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: mentally for that matter. But I would imagine the Cowboys

171
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 3: have at least looked into them, just like they look

172
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: at all free agents that are out there, especially ones

173
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: that have played at a high level before the Patriots

174
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: coming in. I mean, the Willgreer stuff. I never put

175
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: a lot of stock in and all that. You know,

176
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: I think that, yeah, he's he's been here and he's

177
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: he's knows the team, but I don't I don't think

178
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: he's gonna I don't think he would. He could tip

179
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: off a whole lot of stuff like that. I mean,

180
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 3: if so, shame on the Cowboys if they let that happen.

181
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 3: You know, I mean you you mix things up all

182
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: the time. I just don't think that that Will Grier

183
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: being here affects that much. I do think Zeke, though

184
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: he ran the ball well last week, you know, he's

185
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: gonna be running as hard as he possibly can. Uh,

186
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: They're gonna get him some some opportunities. And and you

187
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: know they they run the ball well with Stevens and

188
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: and and him, like they already run the ball well.

189
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: They ran it well against the Jets. So I think

190
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: that you know, this is something to watch. Uh for sure,

191
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: This's gonna be a big key in the game, is

192
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: what happens there in the run. Let's go to some

193
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: text line questions here. This is a raquel from Walnut Creek, California.

194
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: I love and I miss Zeke. What Dallas Cowboy player

195
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: did you love? And was bummed that the Cowboys traded

196
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: Remember Zeke wasn't traded, But but I don't know, would

197
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: a saying, uh, what a former Cowboy player do you love?

198
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: And wish that they wouldn't have traded? Well, I mean

199
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't love the trade for a Marii Cooper.

200
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: I didn't.

201
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: I didn't love that. But that's not really kind of

202
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: what you're asking.

203
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: You know.

204
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: I was a huge deon s Anders fan in my

205
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: first year covering the team. Dion was there, but that

206
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: I hated that they released him. Uh for you know,

207
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: it was I was it was early in my you know,

208
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: writing career and then covering this team, and I didn't

209
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: always understand the salary cap and that kind of stuff.

210
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: I didn't.

211
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: I didn't love the fact, especially that he went to Washington,

212
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: but you know, he was kind of on the on

213
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: the tail end of his career, but he had Dion

214
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: was one that I that was one where he didn't

215
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: really understand that one. But let's okay, let's go to

216
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: the callers. Uh Travis in San Antonio, Travis, what's.

217
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 7: Up, nicky Wednesday?

218
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: To you? How are you doing you too?

219
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: I'm doing good, Thanks Travis.

220
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 7: I just wanted to say I'm gonna go kind of

221
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 7: a not so much this week, just kind of more

222
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 7: big picture thing. I've been doing it this for like

223
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 7: three weeks but haven't said it. And like for for

224
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 7: all the Cowboys, fans out there that watch like national

225
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 7: media and all these personalities. I'm pretty much and this

226
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 7: is me person I just like shut down that. I

227
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 7: just watch your show. I watched the Break, I watched

228
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 7: Talk you know, Batch Lombardi, Jeff Kavanaugh, Brian brought us

229
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 7: one O five. If you're a Cowboys fan, just watch

230
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 7: that stuff. The personality is on national meters. So a

231
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 7: large part of not all of them are so uninformed

232
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 7: with what's going on in the in the building that

233
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 7: I just if you want to if you want to

234
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 7: get actual information, then these are the places you need

235
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 7: to watch.

236
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: And uh, the way I look at that though, Kevin,

237
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: I mean, like like those guys that you're talking about,

238
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: I mean the stephen A is is that what you're saying,

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: Like those type of guys. Yeah, it's those to me

240
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: that you know, and and stephen A specifically, like I

241
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: put him in the same category as like The Rock

242
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: or Triple H. Seriously, I mean just entertainment. It's not

243
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: it's it's scripted. I mean, I I you know, it's

244
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: it's all for for shock value. I don't think he

245
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: believes half the stuff he says, but he's just trying

246
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: to draw people offside, you know, and that other show

247
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: in Fox that they got the wanna bees that are

248
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: trying to do the same thing. You know now, when

249
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: they had David Hellman on there, it was a better show.

250
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 3: And they need and they need that a little bit.

251
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: But but yeah, I agree, I hear what you're saying.

252
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: I mean to me that that stuffs fake. I really

253
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: believe that stuffs fake.

254
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 7: And I only say that just because I guess I

255
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 7: could think, you know, with a we're a polarizing team,

256
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 7: so like, but so many people get so upset when

257
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 7: they hear stuff like that, and that's what I'm saying.

258
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 7: It's just easy to just dismiss it. It's just not

259
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 7: not informed. But I also wanted to say from your

260
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 7: stuff yesterday, if I had to wear a Patriots jersey,

261
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 7: I'll go with Vince Wilfork. Yeah, and I just bought

262
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 7: my first coup I'm not a big jersey guy, but

263
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 7: I did buy a Larry Allen jersey.

264
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: Larry Allen, So you clearly like the guys in the

265
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: trenches like you. You respect the big linemen on both

266
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: sides of the ball. That's kind of you. Seems like

267
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: your thing.

268
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all right.

269
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: I have a great week, you too, Thank you, Travis,

270
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: appreciate that. Let's go to Kevin in New Jersey. Let's

271
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: go back to the phone line here, Kevin in New Jersey,

272
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 3: still with us?

273
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, how are you?

274
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: How good?

275
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: How are you doing?

276
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 8: Great?

277
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 9: Love the show? A longtime fan of yours.

278
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: Thank you.

279
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 9: The thoughts I have about this upcoming game are concerned

280
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 9: with Bill Belichick. I really believe rosters across the NFL

281
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 9: are somewhat even. But my opinion is that the schemes

282
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 9: that are put into play for each week play a

283
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 9: huge part in the outcome. So I'm looking ahead and

284
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 9: I see Belichick and I know what he's going to

285
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 9: do is focus on taking Parsons out of the game.

286
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 9: I just wanted to hear your thoughts on concerns with

287
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 9: the upcoming week. I mean, I feel like we have

288
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 9: a great roster. I feel like we've got great defensive coordinator.

289
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 9: But a little concerned Belichicks out sche must this coming week.

290
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 10: You know, fair.

291
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. I mean, you can definitely, you know,

292
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: you can definitely talk about that and and and that

293
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: that would be fair because go back and look at

294
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: at what happened with with Parsons the first time that

295
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: they played. Uh, he was you know, he was early

296
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: in his rookie year, and I think that was probably

297
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: the least production that he had in any game. Uh

298
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: that whole year. He didn't have a sack, he didn't

299
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: have a quarterback hit. And so they they did a

300
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: pretty good job of taking him out of that game. Now,

301
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: the Cowboys did win in overtime, but you know, and

302
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: he said yesterday or earlier this week, I think he

303
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: said on a radio show up there in New England

304
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: that that he's he's a lot like Lawrence Taylor and

305
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: that you have to locate him first and then he

306
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: could do everything well. And so it was a really

307
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: nice quote. I think we put a story on the

308
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: on the website Dallas Cowboys dot com about that, you know,

309
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: just just that quote that Belichick said. So, yeah, he's

310
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: gonna definitely, you know, try to take him out of

311
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: the game. Easier said than done. But but if there's

312
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: somebody that can do that, it would be it would

313
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: be him. But you know, that's why you have all

314
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: this depth, that's why you have the guys like Dorn's

315
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Sam Williams and Fowler and Tank. Of course,

316
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: Tank's playing really well. I you know, he's played He's

317
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: had some really really good moments there early in this season.

318
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: So you know, it's easier said than done. And I

319
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: would imagine dan Quinn's going to have to do some

320
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: some different wrinkles as well with him. But yeah, that's

321
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: gonna be something to watch all week. We got some

322
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: text message questions that I want to get to here.

323
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: Jason from Pennsylvania says, do other teams have dramatic ups

324
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: and downs from game to game? I would imagine, I mean,

325
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: I you know, I don't. You don't follow these other teams,

326
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: but yeah, just look at their records. I mean, there's

327
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: a lot of teams that are in between the eight

328
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: to nine, nine and eight, you know, seven and ten,

329
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: ten and seven. You can't do that without going up down,

330
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: up down. That's that's the nature of the NFL is

331
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: to make everybody equal. And when that happens, yeah, you

332
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: play well one week, you play well at the next.

333
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's just as dramatic, because I

334
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: don't think the Cowboys, you know, I don't think other

335
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: teams are viewed the same way. Nationally. But yeah, I

336
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: mean I do think that and that's just the way

337
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: it is. And I think a lot of fan bases

338
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: are that way. You know where I mean McCarthy was,

339
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: you know, they they were getting all kinds of praise

340
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: two weeks ago, and now that you know he wasn't prepared,

341
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: wasn't prepared for the game. And then you know, same

342
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: with Dak So it happens. That's that's the way it is.

343
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: I would imagine it's the same with with a lot

344
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: of teams. All right, Michael and Bowling Green Kentucky fan

345
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: since nineteen eighty Any chance they would bring Trey Lance

346
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: in for a goal line or need one yard on

347
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: fourth and inches, I don't think we're there for that yet.

348
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: And and you know that would that would kind of

349
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: make they'd have to make some changes on how they

350
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: structure the game day roster. If that was the case,

351
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush would have to be the third quarterback. I

352
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: don't think they're They're I don't think that's going to

353
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: be a thing right now. I think I think the

354
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: idea with Trey Lances to just kind of keep him

355
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 3: developing this year, learning the system, being a good scout

356
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: team quarterback things like that, don't I don't see that

357
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: the packages for him right now. All right's back to

358
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: the phone lines, Joe and Stanford.

359
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 8: Joe, what's up, hey, morning, sir, So A couple of things. First,

360
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 8: you're our first caller of the day, gentlemen from Mississippi

361
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 8: is talking about the line. What I saw was we

362
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 8: moved the ball pretty dang well, honestly, up and down

363
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 8: the field. We ran it decently, actually pretty well. We

364
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 8: just when we got to the red zone, we just

365
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 8: didn't execute again. So I'm not so sure I would

366
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 8: blame it even on having all those backup linemen in there.

367
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 8: As far as looking forward and sort of looking at

368
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 8: it at Micah, I don't get why we are having

369
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 8: the same issues that we had last year. I feel

370
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 8: like that the things that they're doing to Mica to

371
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 8: to neutralize him are the same things that that he

372
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 8: was getting done to him last year. And I feel

373
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 8: like maybe we need to figure out why that's happening,

374
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 8: what what or what are we not doing to to

375
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 8: make sure that doesn't happen in the future.

376
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: Joe, he's getting he's getting double teamed. I mean like

377
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: like that he's getting double team since his rookie year.

378
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: I mean, like what I.

379
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: Explain that a little bit more when you say why

380
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: this is keeps happening. I mean, he's got four sacks

381
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: in three games. I think he's he's making a huge

382
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: difference in the game.

383
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 8: Well, well, there were several there were several plays or

384
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 8: at least two or three that I remember and happened

385
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 8: a lot last year where he's running free and missing

386
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 8: this running quarterback, letting the guy just run right past him.

387
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, it happened.

388
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 8: So that's that's specifically what I'm talking about. Yeah, and

389
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 8: then who Parsons is running free? He needs to be

390
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 8: making a play.

391
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: Who were putting that on? I mean, I don't know

392
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: that's Michael, that's on Miah Parsons, that's on Micah Parsons.

393
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: That to me, that's Michael Parsons. Has got to be

394
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 3: better at doing that.

395
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 8: Like like, yeah, I don't disagree with you. I'm just yeah,

396
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 8: we need to help him be better.

397
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what we.

398
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 8: Need to do, but he's good enough to make the plays.

399
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 8: He needs to be making those plays.

400
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. And that's that's you know, and Joe

401
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: I I appreciate it and and that's one thing that

402
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: it's kind of it's kind of frustrated me a little bit,

403
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: is that you know that that Dak is getting all

404
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: this that this heat for throwing a you know, pretty

405
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: much a desperation type fourth quarter interception, when when when

406
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: a guy that's been touted as MVP wants to be

407
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: you know, he even said himself, you know, like, why

408
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 3: why don't defensive guys get put in m v P.

409
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: So so he's putting that on himself as well. And

410
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: I think I think this whole team, they're so fascinated

411
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: with getting sacks all the time, to get sacked, sack

412
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 3: sacks where you know you're missing some plays, you're missing

413
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: a room team runs. So you've got to be disciplined.

414
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll go back and think of a guy

415
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: Dwight Freeney back in the day with the Colts. Man

416
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: love to get sacks, but they can run the ball

417
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: right past them sometimes, and so you've got to be

418
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 3: disciplined to not only stay in your lane, but but

419
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: you've got to make the play first. If it's a sack, great,

420
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: but if not, you've got to have containment. And that

421
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 3: doesn't always happen all right, Bruce and Houston. Bruce, what's up?

422
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, good good show.

423
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 11: Thanks for the call. That kind of leads into what

424
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 11: I was thinking about on the RPO because Micah missed

425
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 11: that first forty plus yard ran that Dobbs took off

426
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 11: on him. To me, I would whoever's on the outside,

427
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 11: whether it's Micah or Lawrence or whoever they've got to,

428
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 11: in my opinion, on a running quarterback like that hit him,

429
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 11: whether he's got the ball or not, he's he's like

430
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 11: a running back, then you're not going to get penalized

431
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 11: if I'm if I'm if I'm correct on tackling him,

432
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 11: not pile driving, you're going to get flag for that,

433
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 11: but can help you do that about four or five times,

434
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 11: and that quarterback gonna tell that offensive Cordner, hey.

435
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: Let's let the running back do that.

436
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 11: But that's howed, Like you said earlier, you've got to

437
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 11: maintain your lanes. I just think we're gonna find out

438
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 11: about our cowboys this Sunday because you're you're not as

439
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 11: good as they say you are. You're not as bad

440
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 11: as they say you are. But until you get punched

441
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 11: in the mouth, then you're gonna find out who they are.

442
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 11: I think they were. We all had them. Hey, it's

443
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 11: gonna be four and o San Francisco, and we forgot

444
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 11: to think about the Cardinals are the Patriots, and the

445
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 11: Patriots can run the ball. You know, Ellie is gonna

446
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 11: be trying to just smash mouth everybody, so I'd like

447
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 11: to see him go eight in the box and make

448
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 11: Jones beat him over the top. But great show.

449
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. And I think you

450
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 3: have to do that. I think you have to be

451
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: like that with with you know, the way the Patriots

452
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: are probably gonna run the ball, you have to be

453
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: closer to the line of scrimmage. I think they're gonna

454
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: have to maybe figure out ways to have a little

455
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: bit more beef back there. And let's be clear too,

456
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 3: this is it's just about Marquis Bell now, Marquis Bell

457
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 3: and Jayron Curse, It's not just about them. Like you've

458
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 3: also the linebackers Dimone, clark Leyton Vanderush. They've got to

459
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: get off some blocks as well, so it's not just

460
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: about them all the time. Real quick, we're gonna take

461
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: another call Steve.

462
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: In New York.

463
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 12: Hey me, great show man. Thanks Steve, just quick. I

464
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 12: had spoken to you before the season's target about where

465
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 12: the Cowboys we're going to get that those short yardage

466
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 12: plays and whatnot red zone two and I'm just you know,

467
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 12: it's just my opinion. You know, we're trying to replace

468
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 12: two guys that were real red zone targets last year.

469
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 12: I mean, Zeke's twelve touchdowns were all red zone last year.

470
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure Dalton Schultz were too. And I know

471
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 12: nobody probably wants to hear it, but do you think

472
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 12: it's going to take time to acclimate Dak Prescott to

473
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 12: find guys to replace their production because those.

474
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 5: Guys were big in the red zone.

475
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 12: And I'm not making an excuse.

476
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: No, I hear you.

477
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 2: I hear you.

478
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, twelve touchdowns doesn't just happen overnight. I mean,

479
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: that's that's significant. So you're right, they haven't figured that

480
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: this this part out yet. They really haven't figured out

481
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: how they want to do it and how that how

482
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 3: you know that they're going to be able to utilize that.

483
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 12: I know that, you know, Ronald Jones was the kind

484
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 12: of quick fixed thing that never obviously didn't pan out.

485
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 12: But what do you think the chances of them, uh

486
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 12: going out and maybe getting I'm not going to say

487
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 12: a four net, but somebody brings somebody in.

488
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: I really don't see that. Thanks for the call, Steve.

489
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 3: I don't really see that. I think that they they're

490
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 3: they're good with the running back situation.

491
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: Now.

492
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: The one thing I could I could see happening a

493
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 3: little bit more is Hunter Lipke getting getting more involved.

494
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 3: I mean, like he's everything that they've given him, he's

495
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: done well. I could see him continuing to to get

496
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 3: a little bit more reps. Maybe maybe some in the

497
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 3: red zone. You know, but but you know, but to

498
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: do that, he probably to be more effective. You're probably

499
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 3: gonna have to be the tailback, not so much the fullback.

500
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: But there's different ways that they can do it. Then

501
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 3: then they have to figure it out. I mean, there's

502
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. You can't just keep kicking field

503
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: goals all the time, especially when you go against better offenses.

504
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: All Right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back,

505

548
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 17: So we made a friendly deal, jersey deal, jersey deal,

549
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 17: and this guy Cad couldn't get a jersey, so he

550
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 17: gets this nasty purple color.

551
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 3: This is LSU versus Arkansas. There's a lot of story

552
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: behind this whole thing. We talked all week. I basically said,

553
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: I thought that Arkansas was going to win the game,

554
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: even though they were what eighteen point underdogs eyes, I

555
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 3: knew the way they would play, we would play well.

556
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: I kne they could play well, and I thought they were.

557
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 3: They were going to win the game. And you look

558
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: at the game. They lost thirty four to thirty one.

559
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: At the buzzer LSU one. Good for them, good for Danny.

560
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 3: But it was a jersey bet. It was supposed to

561
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: wear a jersey.

562
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: You know.

563
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 3: I mean like, you know, got my jersey. I've got

564
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 3: my jersey to wear it, so you want to wear this.

565
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we didn't.

566
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 17: We didn't beat like a really good team, so it

567
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 17: was more like a T shirt win versus a jersey win.

568
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: It was like Alabama somebody.

569
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: Anyways, nobody cares everyone everyone you know, you listen to

570
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 3: your show. Okay, cool, all right, good for them, Go Tigers.

571
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna we might end early here now, So I

572
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: absolutely hate this color. I should just wear Barney Royalty. Anyways,

573
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: all right, so I lost, Arkansas lost the game, Danny,

574
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: they won, l s U got to win. Good for y'all. Anyways, Cowboys, Cowboys, Cardinals. Yeah,

575
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: you're you're on the show players lounge. What what's the

576
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 3: what's the sentiment? Like, I mean, what's going on here

577
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: with with in your mind with with the with the

578
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: Cowboys and how they lost that game, and you know

579
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: it's the sky falling all that stuff.

580
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: I don't think the sky is falling.

581
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 17: I think you know, I was very high on Big

582
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 17: Mic this year, Mike McCarthy calling plays and him saying that, hey,

583
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 17: I'm going to make sure I play to my defense.

584
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 17: I think the first two games you saw was getting

585
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 17: out into the red zone and instead of worrying about

586
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 17: what everybody else said about how our red zone, how

587
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 17: we were performing in the red zone, we kicked the

588
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 17: field goals.

589
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: We got out of there.

590
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 17: And I'm watching the game and I'm like, Okay, Big

591
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 17: Mic is gonna kick this field goal no matter what's

592
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 17: happening to us on defense, and he's gonna trust that

593
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 17: we're gonna be able to make a play and he

594
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 17: goes for it on fourth Yeah, And at that moment,

595
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 17: I was like, this ain't the same as the first

596
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 17: two games.

597
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: Why do you think you think it was a lack

598
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: of trust or do you think it just the feel

599
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: in the game.

600
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: I think it was.

601
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 17: I think it's you go into the first two games

602
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 17: and you don't perform very well in the red zone.

603
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 17: Well when you compare it to how many touchdowns versus

604
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 17: how many field goals you're scoring, but for me, it's

605
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 17: you're ending the drive with a kick, you're getting points,

606
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 17: and you're letting your defense go out there and do

607
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 17: what they do. Previous two games, we kicked a lot

608
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 17: of field goals. We weren't scoring touchdowns in the red zone,

609
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 17: and what were people saying once you got out of

610
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 17: those games, man, we turn those in the touchdowns, like

611
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 17: that's going to be that much better for us as

612
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 17: we go through the season, and we didn't do it.

613
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 17: So I think when we got into the red zone

614
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 17: this game, it's like, you know what, I got to

615
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 17: score a touchdown in the red zone. We went for

616
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 17: it on fourth down, and it changed the whole dynamic

617
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 17: of how we had been playing that first two weeks.

618
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just the fact that you didn't score,

619
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: but you let them get what thirty five yards out

620
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: of it. I mean, there's one thing. If you can

621
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: just go three now and they punt, you're probably gonna

622
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: be back down there again. But they got a big,

623
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: big play out of it, and you're right, it kind

624
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 3: of changed the whole momentum. It was kind of like,

625
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: all right, the Cardinals were like, we can take their best.

626
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 2: Way, Well, how many times we throw the ball?

627
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: Right?

628
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: It changed the way we played the entire game.

629
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 17: And I know, like they were driving the ball on

630
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 17: us on defense, but that's first half.

631
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: Second half we came out and we played.

632
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 17: We played better, But I think we had an opportunity

633
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 17: to say, all right, listen, we got a whole second half.

634
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 17: We're gonna get these three points and we're gonna stick

635
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 17: to the plan that we've been doing for the first

636
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 17: two games. And I think it changed for some reason

637
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 17: when we went on fourth down, and I think it

638
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 17: was just different. It was just different. So I don't

639
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 17: think the sky's falling. I think we'll get back to

640
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 17: what we were doing because we saw that it didn't work,

641
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 17: and I think we'll be okay. It won't be as

642
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 17: easy as I thought it was gonna be there.

643
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's the same with a lot

644
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: of fans right now. All right, this first time you've

645
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: been on this show. We take a lot of callers

646
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: on here. We've got a couple that are on the

647
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: line right now, so we're gonna We're gonna go back

648
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: to the phone line here. Sebastian is in Savanna to Georgia. Sebastian,

649
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:01,920

Speaker 18: I'm doing great. How you guys doing today?

651
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: I'm good.

652
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: Danny McCray, mister McCray.

653
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 18: I see you out here doing your thing on Sivira.

654
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: Man.

655
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 5: I love it.

656
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 8: I love it. Hey.

657
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 18: First off, I didn't know you were going to be

658
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 18: in a show, so I'm keeeking that a little bit, sho.

659
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 18: I love the Player's Lounge as well. I watch all

660
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 18: the shows first we call the players Lounge. I have

661
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 18: not seen one other show that tears the players up

662
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 18: as much as you guys right every single day. My

663
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 18: question is that, what exactly do you think is the

664
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 18: issue that's going on with Dak because right now he's

665
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 18: sitting that in my mind. If we're being honest, the

666
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 18: number two quarterback in the nfcast, he's not running and

667
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 18: tucking the ball and running and he could check the

668
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 18: ball and run. It seems like he's a little indecisive.

669
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 18: Is it just the offensive line or is there something more,

670
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 18: maybe like some remnants of thinking from like, hey, back

671
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 18: when I got injured for running and stuff like that

672
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 18: that's stopping him from being the Dak that we know

673
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 18: he can be. I'll hang up and listen.

674
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: You know what.

675
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 17: I actually think that Dak has been running more at

676
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 17: the beginning of this season than he has the previous

677
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 17: two seas. I think he's getting more comfortable running the ball.

678
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 17: Do I wish he does it, will do it more

679
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 17: in the red zone?

680
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: Yes, I do. I wish he would.

681
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 17: I think what we're the issue that we're having with

682
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 17: Dak now is one we came out the first two

683
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 17: games and we were throwing a lot of short passes,

684
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 17: a lot of get them out quick. The Dallas Coast offense, Hey,

685
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 17: three yards, get the ball in their hands. And I

686
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 17: think now you're going to see a lot of teams

687
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 17: sitting on those routes same way that they sit on

688
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 17: those routes when you get into the red zone and

689
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 17: it's taking those spaces away from him. So he has

690
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 17: to be able to open up the defense by completing

691
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 17: some of those deep routes. And when I say completing them,

692
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 17: I don't mean back show to fade, go out of

693
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 17: bounds and then we come back to running next play.

694
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 17: I mean Tyreek Hill type, Hey, run underneath the ball,

695
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 17: get you a sixty yard pass, and then make the

696
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 17: defense respect the fact that you can make that throw

697
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 17: and they'll have to play a little deeper and that'll

698
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 17: spread them out a little bit.

699
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: But we haven't been completing those type of passes.

700
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: And honestly, and you know, as a safety, I mean

701
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 3: like you don't always even have to complete it to

702
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: send a message. I mean, if you throw a deep

703
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: ball to a guy and even if it's incomplete, least

704
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: at least they know that.

705
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 17: All Right, If I'm playing deep middle safety and I

706
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 17: gotta get on the gas and go one hundred percent

707
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 17: because I feel like I'm behind or this dude might

708
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 17: catch this sixty yard pass the next play, I'm gonna

709
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 17: make sure that I'm probably five yards deeper, right if

710
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 17: it's third, whatever it is, I'm gonna make sure that

711
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 17: I'm a little deeper, and that is going to spread

712
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 17: out the entire defense because now the corners are gonna

713
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 17: feel the same way, and that makes the linebackers have

714
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 17: to get a little bit deeper in their drops because

715
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 17: there's a little bit more space than if they don't.

716
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 17: That opens it up for you. And I think we

717
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 17: we're taking those shots, but if we don't complete them,

718
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 17: or that thread of like, hey, CD, Lamb's about to

719
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 17: catch the sixty yard bomb on us. We got Brandon

720
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 17: Cooks back there, Michael Gallup. We don't start completing those passes,

721
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 17: you're gonna see a lot of people sitting on sitting

722
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 17: on these routes.

723
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: All right, all right, let's go to David and fort Worth.

724
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: David's our next caller, David, what's up?

725
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 8: Hey?

726
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 19: How you doing guys?

727
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: Good?

728
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: David?

729
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 19: Yes, sir, yes, Sair, Hey real quick, mission crazy, Danny.

730
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 19: I didn't know you're going to be on man.

731
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 6: I want to let you know, I didn't.

732
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 19: Watch an episode of Survivor my entire life when I

733
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 19: heard you were going to be on it.

734
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: Man.

735
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 19: My wife and I were on it every single every

736
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 19: was it Wednesday? I think it was watched every single

737
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 19: one and Bro that chick should not have won.

738
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 5: Many voted out, should.

739
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 19: Have never came back. That was I was upset, but

740
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 19: your go Cowboys. At the end, I was like Conic Bro,

741
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 19: it was iconic, But I wanted to ask a real

742
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 19: quick question about Zeke man Zeke's returning. I have the

743
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 19: same little feeling that ever Dead was going to have

744
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 19: an opportunity to come back and play when he was

745
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 19: with the Ravens, and unfortunately he couldn't. And I never

746
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 19: want any player to come back and beat the Cowboys

747
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 19: because I'm a Cowboys fan through and through, but I

748
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 19: want him to have a little bit of success because

749
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 19: like I like, so I know, I know, and I

750
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 19: wanted to get your perspective as a player, like I

751
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 19: wanted Zeke to come to come back. I wanted Dez

752
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 19: to come back and play well because I still believed

753
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 19: in them. Does that make me a bad fan? I'll

754
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 19: hang up and listen.

755
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 8: Man.

756
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 17: Honestly, it doesn't make you a bad fan, because, as

757
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 17: you're rooting for a team you deal, you do feel

758
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 17: a personal connection to certain players, So you wanting him

759
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 17: to do well doesn't make you any less of a

760
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 17: fan for the Cowboys because the truth is he might

761
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 17: all right, but we don't want him to win.

762
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: We don't want him to win.

763
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 17: I don't there's nothing against you for wanting Zeke to

764
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 17: do well, because honestly, as a former player, I want

765
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 17: everybody to do well. But at the end of the day,

766
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 17: I want my team to win, So don't feel bad

767
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 17: about it. Zeke got eighteen carriages last week for eighty yards,

768
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 17: so he's gonna get some rips. So we're gonna get

769
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 17: tested again like we did this week in the run

770
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 17: and we'll see what he can do.

771
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I certainly not a bad fan. I mean,

772
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: David's one of the callers that calls almost every day

773
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 3: and so certainly certainly not. And I think it makes

774
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: you a human, I mean more than anything. I mean,

775
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: that's the good thing about this situation with Zeke is

776
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: that you know, his career is a lot of ups

777
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 3: and downs and for the most part, but he like

778
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 3: he can leave. He left the Cowboys on good terms,

779
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 3: and I think, I think, you know, their Cowboys are

780
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 3: going to do something for him. You'll see, you know,

781
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: in the stadium, they'll they'll they'll have something for him

782
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: and I'm sure you know, he said all the right things.

783
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: So this is going to be a good homecoming. Now,

784
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, he's definitely gonna want

785
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 3: Yeah he was gonna want to win this game. But

786
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: uh but yeah, it's you know, everything is so far

787
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 3: is on good time.

788
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 17: Well, listen, they need to do something for him because

789
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 17: this is the last play that he had here. We

790
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 17: want to see we want to see something different from

791
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 17: Zeke's return to AT and T Stadium because he gave

792
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 17: us the kettle, the red Kettle, Jones, all the positive stuff.

793
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: It just for me to remember that that's how you

794
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: went out. But the last play of Dallas.

795
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: You don't think they're going to be like former Cowboys center.

796
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 17: I'll tell you they're not showing that play on the

797
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 17: video boards. Appreciation for watching the Survivor. Tell the wife,

798
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 17: I said, hello, great experience. Yeah, actually the season starts tonight,

799
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 17: So why season forty five tonight?

800
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: Okay, but that's not the only thing you're on.

801
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: I mean in the Challenge.

802
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the latest with the Challenge?

803
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 17: The Challenge comes on on Thursdays. Now is USA Season

804
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 17: two is going on and it's a very good season.

805
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 17: They brought some of the old MTV vts in to

806
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 17: shake things up a little bit, and it's actually been

807
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 17: a very exciting Like Banana Bananas is there, Wes was there.

808
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 17: CT is not there, but he is making his return.

809
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 17: He is making his return.

810
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 3: So how many things have you been on? You've been

811
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: on a Survivor.

812
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 17: I did Survivor and I did two seasons of the Challenge.

813
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 17: I did the Challenge USA one and the Challenge World Championship.

814
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 3: Is that come out yet on TV?

815
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 17: Yes, it's over. I got second, you got second. I

816
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 17: got second place because my partner couldn't ride a bike.

817
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 17: But yeah, you know, well that was that was a

818
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 17: big reason she couldn't ride back.

819
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: I don't on them. You know, I'm not. I'm not

820
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: a finger pointer.

821
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 3: Couldn't you basically just said she didn't have the same

822
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 3: skill most like, you.

823
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: Know, you ride a bike? All right?

824
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 3: Miguel in Piersall Texas, Miguel, what's up?

825
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: I was going good?

826
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 3: How you doing?

827
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: Hey?

828
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 20: Good morning man?

829
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 5: I got a question, bro.

830
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 20: So we picked up Brandon Cooks. He's had several thousand

831
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 20: yard rushing seasons throughout his career. I feel like it's

832
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 20: with him we're underutilizing them with too many under routes

833
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 20: and not giving them the opportunity to get the separation

834
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 20: and take off the top of the defense like we

835
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 20: were supposed to take off, you know, Like this past

836
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 20: couple of games, Yeah, he's had a couple of catches.

837
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 6: You know, he's picking.

838
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 20: Up good first downs and moving the ball like we

839
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 20: need to. But I just feel like whenever you get

840
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 20: a player like that that you know, that can take

841
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 20: off the top off the defense, and you're just not

842
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 20: putting them on top of the defense, you know, like

843
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 20: I just don't understand, Like you got CD Lamb, which

844
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 20: has been amazing, basically catching everything that's been getting thrown

845
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 20: his way, you know, Michael Gallup, which is the sideline

846
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 20: boss that you need a freaking first down, you throw

847
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 20: it to the sideline, he's gonna toe tap it in

848
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 20: and Brandon Cooks.

849
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 3: You know.

850
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 20: He's just I feel like if the way that things

851
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 20: are going that it's just gonna be one of those

852
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 20: seasons if he don't meet he's not gonna meet that

853
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 20: thousand yard mark.

854
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for the call, Miguel. I'll get your thoughts

855
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: on this, Danny. I just think it's early. He's played

856
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: two games. One game was in the rain. They're not

857
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: gonna throw the ball deep around and they didn't have to.

858
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 3: The game was over before basically started. And then last week,

859
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: you know, coming off the knee injury. Yeah, I don't

860
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: think he moved the ball down the field with him

861
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: as much. But I think we're still pretty early in

862
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: this whole process with Brandon Cooks.

863
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the same.

864
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 17: It would be unfortunate if, like this is the team

865
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 17: that he comes to and he's not able to crack

866
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 17: that thousand yard I think it will be telling you

867
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 17: in my opinion, But it is early. He missed the game.

868
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 17: This is a new team, a new system, new quarterback.

869
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 17: I think he still needs some more games to get

870
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 17: on the same pace with Dak and I think that's

871
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 17: honestly back with a lot of his receivers. As far

872
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 17: as throwing the deep ball, I don't want to see

873
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 17: Brandon Cooks just get out here and just run straight

874
00:39:58,719 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 17: deep shots.

875
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: I think he is. He is a factor in.

876
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 17: The middle of the field as well, and we saw

877
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 17: it on that third down catch that that he knows

878
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 17: how to run the routes and get in those zones.

879
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 17: So I still want to see him do that, But

880
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 17: I think our offense as a whole needs to find

881
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 17: a way to make those connections on the deep balls,

882
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 17: and I think it'll come with Tom.

883
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 3: You know, are you talking about the one where him

884
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 3: interping basically ran the same route? Like as weird as

885
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: that looks, I'm sitting here thinking that works right that time?

886
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: It worked that time, your speedy guy turping in front.

887
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: And I was going to ask you about Turping too.

888
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 3: Do you feel like they don't use him as much here?

889
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 3: I mean he's a guy that they could take the

890
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: top off.

891
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, listen, I think, honestly, I think they're using them

892
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 17: more than I expected them to use them. I didn't

893
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 17: expect them to have this much to get this much time.

894
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 17: Because you have Brandon Cooks, Michael Gallup and Ceedee Lamb.

895
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 17: You're looking at Ferguson and Hindershot. You already got a

896
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 17: lot of people who you're trying to get the ball to.

897
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 17: And I think he played running back in week one.

898
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 17: He's been getting jet sweeps. He's been catching balls out

899
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 17: of the backfield, I mean, uh, at the receiver position.

900
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 17: So I think he's actually getting a lot more attention

901
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 17: than he had been getting previously, So not surprised.

902
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 2: But we got enough weapons.

903
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 17: We need to we need to maximize the weapons that

904
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 17: we have with cooks Michael Gallup and Ceed Lamb because

905
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 17: I think, you know we're we're at the upper echelon

906
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 17: of the league with talent at the wide receiver position.

907
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 3: All right, we can get two more calls in before

908
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 3: I think we can wrap this thing up. Irwin and

909
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: Denver Iwin.

910
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: What's up?

911
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 5: Hey, Good morning guys.

912
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 2: How you doing.

913
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 10: Hey, this is a question for Danny.

914
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 17: Well.

915
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 10: First off, thought I really enjoyed watching him on Survivor

916
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 10: watch it every year. I thought it was awesome watching.

917
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

918
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 10: The question that I have for Danny McCrae is what

919
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 10: does it think about our linebacker? I mean, obviously we're

920
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 10: missing honestly, what do you think about what's going on

921
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 10: with our linebacker?

922
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 7: Thanks?

923
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: Guy?

924
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 17: Uh, listen. I think our linebacking corp had a rough game.

925
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 17: I think Arizona came out with a scheme that that

926
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 17: really confused our linebackers a little bit. They pulled a

927
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 17: lot of linemen from one side to the other, a

928
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 17: little bit of misdirection, and I think when you're a

929
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 17: step late at the linebacker position against a team that's

930
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 17: pulling guys and then blocking you with receivers and their

931
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 17: officive linemen are athletic. I think that that really plays

932
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 17: against you, right. So you would see Damon Clark in

933
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 17: the situation to where he was a step behind and

934
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 17: all of a sudden, the officeive lineman was right on

935
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 17: the shoulder and he was getting sealed off. That happened

936
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 17: a few times, and I just think that was a

937
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 17: bad game.

938
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn.

939
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 17: He is proven that he's gonna go back to the

940
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 17: lab and he's gonna get these guys right. And that's

941
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 17: probably all they're going to be practicing on this week,

942
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 17: because you know Bill Belichick is gonna come in here

943
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 17: and say, hey, what.

944
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: Did Arizona do to beat these guys? Oh, they pulled Lineman.

945
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 17: You're gonna see lineman getting pulled from the sideline like

946
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 17: all game my bad. But you're gonna see him getting

947
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 17: pulled from the from the sideline until the cowboy shoulder,

948
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 17: they can stop it.

949
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 3: I think what Damon Clark needs is this shirt, I

950
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 3: mean shirt back all right. Last caller of the show,

951
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 3: Al and Merkele Texas, Al, what's up.

952
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 5: Hey, that ky you man. I just want to say,

953
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 5: once again, I love this show.

00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 2: Thank you.

955
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 5: It's the highlight of my morning. I'm calling a lot

956
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 5: and sometimes negative, but I want to get something positive

957
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 5: with all the negative craft going on. Yeah, if you

958
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 5: always ask about our favorite Cowboy moments, I would to

959
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 5: date myself right here. My favorite Cowboy moment I was

960
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 5: nine years old and we beat the Denver Crush or

961
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 5: the Orange Crush in the Super Bowl. And I'm just

962
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 5: wondering if you and Danny can tell me your favorite

963
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 5: memories of being Cowboy fans and I'll shut up and

964
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 5: get off the air. Thank you so much for taking

965
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 5: my call. Nick.

966
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 2: I appreciate you awesome.

967
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 3: Thank you, Al. I appreciate that favorite moments And as

968
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: as a fan, I mean it's kind of weird for you, right,

969
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: I mean because you were a player. So how about

970
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 3: how about we go there? I mean, favorite moment as

971
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: as a player.

972
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 17: Man, you know, that's that's tough because for me, it's

973
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 17: like more of a personal moment of the fact that

974
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 17: like the undrafted free agent came in from LSU got

975
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 17: to try out for five thousand dollars and I thought

976
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 17: that was a lot and I want to spend. And

977
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 17: then all of a sudden, Jody's like, hey, listen, I'm

978
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 17: gonna do whatever I can to make sure you make

979
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 17: this team. You just have to perform, and then I

980
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 17: make the team. So for me, cowboy moment is, Hey,

981
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 17: I'm here as an undrafted free agent, make the team

982
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 17: as a special teams guy, and then I get the

983
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 17: starting job and I run out through that tunnel for

984
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 17: the first time. And that was probably the most exciting

985
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 17: thing that I've been a part of because running out

986
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 17: as a special team's guy with the entire team versus

987
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 17: getting announced on the big board, which your family taking

988
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 17: pictures of it is totally different. So for me personal

989
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 17: but that's my biggest Cowboys that's perfect.

990
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: I mean, can I tell a story on you. I mean,

991
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: you're already already embarrassing me, so I mean, no, no,

992
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 3: it's not that bad, because I mean I wouldn't expect

993
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 3: anything different. But like I remember interviewing you, you made

994
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: the team. You're wearing number forty. You're an undrafted player

995
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 3: from an SEC school playing special teams at number forty,

996
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: and I was like, you know then, I mean, it's

997
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: a pretty big deal. You get wear number forty. You know,

998
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: a special teams guy. You hear the Cowboys and he

999
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know what you're talking about. I

1000
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 3: was like number forty, you know, like Bill Bates.

1001
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1002
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, okay, all right, well you know,

1003
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 3: of course not.

1004
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 17: But I learned. You learned, but I learned. I learned,

1005
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 17: and now I know. Bill Bates is great, very harsh.

1006
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 17: She was to feel didn't quite do it, but it

1007
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 17: was an honor to wear the forty and then have

1008
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 17: people say, hey, man, you're a special teams player. That

1009
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 17: reminds me of a Bill bas type guy.

1010
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: I think only three players in Cowboys history have led

1011
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 3: the team in tackles on special teams back to back years,

1012
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 3: Bill Bates, you and CJ. CJ. Goodwin has done that.

1013
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 3: It's pretty pretty good company there for me. You know,

1014
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 3: for me, the best moments was probably just just like

1015
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 3: you know, when as a fan just watching them, you know,

1016
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 3: go to the Super Bowl, you know, and and stuff

1017
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 3: like that, you know, getting getting back to those days.

1018
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 3: You know, I was in high school, but I mean

1019
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: I just remember when they nineteen ninety one. They didn't

1020
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl that year, but when they beat

1021
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 3: the Eagles to actually, you know, they beat the Eagles

1022
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: up in Philadelphia pump return touchdown by Kelvin Martin. But

1023
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 3: that was like they're back, you know because as a fan,

1024
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: when you when you go through the one to fifteen,

1025
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 3: the three and thirteen seasons and all that, and you

1026
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 3: finally get back to that as a fan, like, that's

1027
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 3: what it's about. And so I just I just remember

1028
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 3: kind of feeling those moments, and I know that's what

1029
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 3: these fans are waiting for as well. That's why you

1030
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 3: go through it. That's why you go through this, so

1031
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 3: you can have moments like that.

1032
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 17: So is that why I herds so bad to watch

1033
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 17: this play late that against the Cardinals because you know,

1034
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 17: most fans who are watching were saying, oh man, yeah,

1035
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 17: I'm scared to say it, but this looks like yeah.

1036
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 17: And then all of a sudden, you play the Cardinals,

1037
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 17: You're like, oh wait, hold on wait, I remember these

1038
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 17: last twenty was it twenty six, twenty seven?

1039
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 2: Suit Like I remember it, and I remember this is

1040
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 2: the same like this.

1041
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 3: Well, because because you try so hard to think this

1042
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 3: is going to be different, this is going to be different,

1043
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 3: but it's like, well, this is the same old stuff.

1044
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 3: But think about it. If this is the same stuff

1045
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 3: as it's been, this is a twelve and five football

1046
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: team that's getting to the getting to the playoffs and

1047
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 3: have it has a chance to win.

1048
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: I mean that's oh yeah, okay, if it's the same

1049
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 2: old stuff.

1050
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 3: Well that's what I'm saying. Like like, I think everyone

1051
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 3: was just looking ahead, looking and thinking, oh, well, you

1052
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 3: know how they can do against the Niners, how they

1053
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 3: can do against the Eagles. And you know you got reality.

1054
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,760
