Speaker 1: but no, no, no, no uh six no no no
Speaker 1: no no uh.
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones just talked about it on the fan. We'll
Speaker 4: talk about some of the football stuff that he's got,
Speaker 4: but you guys all know you guys are wrestling fans.
Speaker 1: Isaiah is a fan of Seattle. I'm a racing fan,
Speaker 1: Yes you are. I'm a big fan of racing. You know.
Speaker 4: I am so pumped that the Indiecar Series has announced
Speaker 4: the Arlington Grand Prix and it's it's in direct, direct
Speaker 4: partnership with the Cowboys, and I am geeking about it.
Speaker 1: It is so cool. And I've called indie races before.
Speaker 4: I've called three indie races back at text Motor Speedway.
Speaker 1: I've been around it.
Speaker 4: So by the way, if you need any money, the
Speaker 4: shoot mcgav gesture that you get fine, shoot those violent gester, oh,
Speaker 4: violent gesture.
Speaker 1: Sorry, but uh yeah.
Speaker 4: You know room, Okay, I'll do that instead of a
Speaker 4: violent gesture. But yeah, really excited about that. They're gonna
Speaker 4: announce that today at ten am. Jerry said he's not
Speaker 4: getting on the helicopter to go straight to Arling.
Speaker 5: That must be nice.
Speaker 4: But the uh, very very cool and I'm excited. That's
Speaker 4: all I wanted to say.
Speaker 5: Did you see the mock ups?
Speaker 1: Man, dude, I can't wait for the full track layout.
Speaker 5: I see him, I'll pull them up.
Speaker 1: They're pretty cool. They're pretty incredible. I spent yesterday.
Speaker 4: I spent yesterday like actually going on Google Maps and
Speaker 4: trying to map out a two point seventy three meters
Speaker 4: or mile circuit like myself, to see what it would
Speaker 4: look like.
Speaker 1: Look at that. It's pretty sweet. It's incredible.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's exciting. Yeah, it's gonna make me be very
Speaker 6: exciting as a fellow gear hit and racing guy.
Speaker 5: That that is phenomenal and not to I don't know
Speaker 5: if we can talk about this. Do you think that
Speaker 5: leads into other opportunities for racer in the area.
Speaker 6: Absolutely you got to do is show the international community
Speaker 6: one time that you can do something like that. There's
Speaker 6: no Las Vegas. It's no different from the soccer world.
Speaker 1: That's tough.
Speaker 6: If your shows was bad, it was, it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Still they were racing on the strip. Now it's gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome.
Speaker 6: There are people who may or may not already treat
Speaker 6: those streets as if they're you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's always there though, it's always we're in here.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about Jerry Jones and some of the other
Speaker 4: things he said. He gave some really good stuff injury reports.
Speaker 4: A couple of different guys down the line for the
Speaker 4: Cowboys to take a look at even a reported workout.
Speaker 1: That was asked about.
Speaker 6: Indeed, he walked the line a bit on all of
Speaker 6: the ines. And we'll start with the workout though, So
Speaker 6: the Cowboys will work out wide receiver Denzel Mimes for
Speaker 6: ye of the Carolina Panthers. He's expected to work out
Speaker 6: today for the Cowboys or be worked out today for
Speaker 6: the Cowboys. Uh sounds based on some conversations I've had
Speaker 6: and hearing Jerry Jones that it's more of a tire
Speaker 6: kicking thing. They just want to check up on some
Speaker 6: available free agents right to see what their status might
Speaker 6: be going forward. If they should, you need to circle back.
Speaker 6: I would say that if the workout goes well, and
Speaker 6: if they choose to bring him in, it's a practice
Speaker 6: squad signing because obviously you're without Brandon Cooks right now.
Speaker 1: I hear that too.
Speaker 6: She's get it together, try and get it together.
Speaker 1: If things wasn't me, it wasn't if things.
Speaker 6: Work out with Denzel Mems today or soon, I anticipated
Speaker 6: as a practice squad signing. You got Brandon Cooks on
Speaker 6: I R and you just need another body there, right,
Speaker 6: So we're coming off of the Jaalen Tobert Legacy game.
Speaker 6: You still need to see and Cavanti Turpin was turned up, right,
Speaker 6: you still need to see Ryan Flinoyd get turned up.
Speaker 6: So if the zel Denzel Melmbs makes Denzel Membs makes
Speaker 6: his way into the building, look at it for a practice.
Speaker 5: Five times fast.
Speaker 6: Not even going to try going to the injury or,
Speaker 6: I should say the injury news, the Cowboys and Marshawn
Speaker 6: Kneelan are expected to be without each other for several weeks.
Speaker 6: Marshawn Knielon did have his knee scoped. Bad news with
Speaker 6: a silver lining. The bad news is is he'll likely
Speaker 6: be out anywhere from four to eight weeks depending on
Speaker 6: who you talk to. He is having his knee scoped
Speaker 6: today Tuesday. It is to trim some meniscus that he
Speaker 6: had a slight tear in. Yeah, so he's gonna be
Speaker 6: a prime candidate for IR. I think the corresponding move
Speaker 6: for him will be karl Lawston because Carlaston is now
Speaker 6: out of elevations, so that just makes sense.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 6: The silver lining though, is it is not a season
Speaker 6: ending injury, which would have been absolutely devastating for a
Speaker 6: Cowboys defensive line that is already without Sam Williams for
Speaker 6: the year and DeMarcus always for several weeks. So depending
Speaker 6: on how quickly Lawrence and Kneeling heel up, they might
Speaker 6: be returning at the same time. Michael Parsons is quote
Speaker 6: unquote iffy for this week against the Detroit Lions. Per
Speaker 6: Jerry Jones on one oh five three of the Fan,
Speaker 6: I think it's a lot less than if he just
Speaker 6: based on some conversations I'm having. Is it zero percent chance? No,
Speaker 6: it's not that low yet. Michael is going to try
Speaker 6: to get back. He's going to do what he can
Speaker 6: this week. If you're looking at calendar days, it'll be
Speaker 6: it's over two weeks right now from when he suffered
Speaker 6: the injury, So there's a chance. So you're slinging there's
Speaker 6: a chance, there is a chance. I just wouldn't, you know,
Speaker 6: if I were a betting man, and I'm not Roger,
Speaker 6: So if I were a betting man, violent gestures.
Speaker 7: And.
Speaker 6: I would not anticipate Michel playing against the Lions, especially
Speaker 6: with the bye week coming thereafter, right. I think he's
Speaker 6: a San Francisco kind of guy. Right now, let's see
Speaker 6: who else.
Speaker 4: And that's not necessarily surprising to see because you have
Speaker 4: that bye week as your safety net, you have that
Speaker 4: as your.
Speaker 1: Kind of all encompasses it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if he's ready to go, but he's going to
Speaker 4: play seventy five percent of what he normally could be,
Speaker 4: why not get him back at one hundred and guarantee
Speaker 4: he he's back at one hundred, so he doesn't play
Speaker 4: at seventy five percent the rest of.
Speaker 1: This all right.
Speaker 6: It also it gives you because you can't replace Michael,
Speaker 6: but it does give you some confidence in seeing how
Speaker 6: some of those role players were able to step up
Speaker 6: against the.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6: So maybe they can keep the ship afloat for at
Speaker 6: least one more week. Detroit's going to be a hell
Speaker 6: of a hell of a gut check though. Tyler Goydon
Speaker 6: so some good news there on the health front. He
Speaker 6: was listed as day to day by Mike McCarthy on yesterday.
Speaker 6: Jerry Jones said today that they're gonna basically see how
Speaker 6: the week goes. But Gydon gen has a chance, a
Speaker 6: really good chance actually if playing against the Detroit Lions,
Speaker 6: So we'll see how they play that. Deron Bland, his
Speaker 6: practice window has not been activated quite yet, that twenty
Speaker 6: one day practice window. I personally would put deron Bland
Speaker 6: as at as close to zero percent chance of playing
Speaker 6: against the Lions as you possibly could. I think that
Speaker 6: at best, at best, they activate his window on Wednesday.
Speaker 6: But that's at best in my opinion. If they do
Speaker 6: anything more than that, if he takes the field against
Speaker 6: the Lions, I'll take a bite out of my mech.
Speaker 1: Let's see Mike.
Speaker 5: Lenovo the Lenovo.
Speaker 6: No, I was, I was saying big Mac like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: they are big best, like from Burger from talking.
Speaker 5: About the big Man from Wa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is me, that's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Hamburger from Water Burger's.
Speaker 1: No, seriously, we're really good at this thing.
Speaker 5: We take a bite of my black Rifle coffee and there.
Speaker 6: We go, big mix ruffle Michaeh micah is if we
Speaker 6: talked about that.
Speaker 1: So for the most part, that's where we are.
Speaker 6: With the injuries and the work out, with the films
Speaker 6: and uh yeah, talking Tuesday.
Speaker 5: Talking talking Tuesday, give us a call.
Speaker 6: Seven, uh play some bits.
Speaker 4: Gosh, it's it's daunting the fact that and Mike McCarthy
Speaker 4: was asked about it. Jerry Jones was asked about it.
Speaker 4: It's daunting to see that list because it's just every
Speaker 4: week it's more guys that are being added on to it.
Speaker 4: And I think you go into this matchup and I
Speaker 4: put out the tweet the other day where it was like,
Speaker 4: no Micah, no d Law.
Speaker 1: No Cooks, no whatever. You lost your top two draft picks.
Speaker 4: You lost both your first and second round draft pick
Speaker 4: in the same half, same game, and you had to
Speaker 4: make an adjustment. You somehow won the game. But does
Speaker 4: that lead to longevity and durability moving forward?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Put you in a hamstrung situation from an organization.
Speaker 5: Quite literally. Yeah, it feels that way and it but
Speaker 5: it also feels that you know, no one else really cares.
Speaker 5: You know, the team that's gonna play you doesn't care
Speaker 5: that you have guys that are out. They're not gonna
Speaker 5: pull up. They're not gonna pull anybody this week, especially
Speaker 5: this team. So you're gonna have to galvinize and get
Speaker 5: it together and play really well no matter who it is.
Speaker 5: And I liked what Mike Zimmer said about the depth
Speaker 5: behind those players, the depth behind the defensive ends yesterday
Speaker 5: when he said, you know, these guys are here for
Speaker 5: a reason. Yeah, they're they're backup so that they're on
Speaker 5: this team for a reason and they can play the position.
Speaker 5: So I'm excited for the opportunity for these guys, But
Speaker 5: then again, I'm not necessarily excited about the foreseeable future
Speaker 5: when it comes to you know, of course, having Micah
Speaker 5: out dal Law out, it's it's tough, man, but you
Speaker 5: like what we saw in Pittsburgh. You gotta see him, Galvin,
Speaker 5: iiz and come back. I found it funny, though, Isaiah,
Speaker 5: when we're talking about the meniscus the scope and you
Speaker 5: were like, yeah, I had that. I feel like so
Speaker 5: often Yeah, yeah, it's funny how often that comes up,
Speaker 5: I mean, And how tough it is just to be
Speaker 5: an NFL player at that caliber. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 5: insane to me. And the fact that you've had so
Speaker 5: many of the instances where you've been on this show
Speaker 5: and you're like, yeah, yeah, did that be there?
Speaker 1: Not good?
Speaker 8: No, I understand that. Yeah, I told my ladder on meniscus.
Speaker 8: You guys remember when the indoor facility collapsed. Oh yeah,
Speaker 8: so you know obviously it was a bad, bad incident, right.
Speaker 8: I wasn't there because I was it was Ricky Mini camp.
Speaker 8: So I was actually on driving home at the time
Speaker 8: that actually happened occur. But following that, obviously that whole
Speaker 8: area was shut down, right, they had to clean up
Speaker 8: that whole field. Practice fields, well, we had to move
Speaker 8: to Carrollton High School. I think it was for practice.
Speaker 8: Well they had AstroTurf. So when we were out there
Speaker 8: doing OTA's running down on kick off, doing drills and stuff,
Speaker 8: I went to go break down on kick out of
Speaker 8: my feest on my knee.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the heck was that?
Speaker 8: Like one of those things was like you know that
Speaker 8: was it feel good?
Speaker 1: You know at all? Something okay?
Speaker 8: So it feels it felt weak and unstable. And I
Speaker 8: finished the day and then I went back and I
Speaker 8: talked to gym and Britain. I was like, hey, man,
Speaker 8: like this thing is not it's not feeling good, it's
Speaker 8: not feeling stable, right, it just feels like not secure.
Speaker 8: Somethings loosen there. And then when I got home from practice,
Speaker 8: that thing just bo just ballooned up. We went in
Speaker 8: got MRI tore my ladder of moniscus. So that was
Speaker 8: it's an easy surgery. They go in, they clean it up,
Speaker 8: they see exactly how much of a teiar you have,
Speaker 8: see if anything needs to be suitured up or anything.
Speaker 1: But it's really like a it's kind of like a.
Speaker 8: Little like a soft washer, you know, kind of like
Speaker 8: the inside of your shower head. Now it has like
Speaker 8: that little soft wall, it's like that, right, and it
Speaker 8: gets us it gets a little little slit in it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: So now that whole little capsule that's supposed to your
Speaker 8: your need is supposed to move within, gets torn.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: So now it's not as secure. So it's still functional,
Speaker 8: but it's.
Speaker 1: Not very stable.
Speaker 8: So they got going there and tighten it up, cleaning out,
Speaker 8: and then it's really just a swelling management. So it's
Speaker 8: very similar to kind of what we're talking about with
Speaker 8: Brandon Cooks. Not a very intrusive surgery, but it's something
Speaker 8: that just you have to get in there and do
Speaker 8: what they have to do with the little little scope
Speaker 8: and then it's just swelling.
Speaker 5: It's not just no.
Speaker 8: But in terms in terms of recovery though, in terms
Speaker 8: of recovery, be be encouraged by that.
Speaker 1: It's not a hard recovery.
Speaker 8: It's literally get the swelling out, stay, you know, make
Speaker 8: sure that you're keeping that the muscles around it strong
Speaker 8: so that you're not having any what's the word I'm
Speaker 8: looking for. I just biked out infections. No, not infections,
Speaker 8: but just an atrophy. You don't want to be atrophy
Speaker 8: within your quas, your your your hamstrings, your you know,
Speaker 8: all the supporting muscles.
Speaker 1: You know the prime movers in the supporting moving muscles.
Speaker 8: You want to make sure that all those stay strong
Speaker 8: so that when the swelling is gone, you actually have
Speaker 8: some funtionality and you're not having to spend extra weeks
Speaker 8: building your strength back up. So that's it's a it's
Speaker 8: a game between management of that and range of motion
Speaker 8: and strength.
Speaker 6: But he'll be fine when he gets back. Just just
Speaker 6: rubbed some tussing on it. Yeah, just just just pour
Speaker 6: some tussing on that thing, walk fixing everything.
Speaker 5: Like my mom would just put some vixed vapor rub
Speaker 5: on it and just.
Speaker 6: Oh, you don't want those those stories because my grandma
Speaker 6: used to like actually ingest the vapor. So this this
Speaker 6: is South Georgia talk, now, y'a don't want those and
Speaker 6: it's the South, that's that's deep South.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Actually she would not rub the vapor rub on the
Speaker 6: chest like she would hard three fingers and she would
Speaker 6: make you swallow it and she do the same. It's
Speaker 6: not big all day. Take a shot of turpentine.
Speaker 8: My mom to take a big old on my upper
Speaker 8: liping on my chest.
Speaker 1: He's a deep South through a deep yeah. If you know,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, oh gosh.
Speaker 5: Hey, we do not recommend that on.
Speaker 6: Reason that responsors slightly unstable.
Speaker 5: But you know that's why it has two voices in
Speaker 5: his head at all time, only two.

Speaker 13: How are you.
Speaker 1: Feeling here on this victory Tuesday?
Speaker 13: Good? Is he about time? You're on studio on a Tuesday?
Speaker 1: I know, I know. In a minute.
Speaker 8: What can you tell us from New York outside of
Speaker 8: the New York Jets news that just popped across.
Speaker 13: Talking that the Cowboys were pretty oppressive on Sunday and
Speaker 13: you guys said it best Roseilia Man, that was one
Speaker 13: heck of a game. That was like from the injuries
Speaker 13: to the tone overs to this and that it just
Speaker 13: played out well. I was on the seat of my
Speaker 13: heads that that last that last drive. I'm like, come on,
Speaker 13: pu U and down. I'm like, what are we going
Speaker 13: to do? I'm like we need to score. Let's run
Speaker 13: the ball. They were running the ball and then pull
Speaker 13: it down. I'm like, I don't know, and then he
Speaker 13: throwing it with a touchdown. I'm like I was, I
Speaker 13: was like, oh boy, this is like this was a
Speaker 13: great moment.
Speaker 1: It was a great moment. Uh.
Speaker 4: My question for the fans today is what is the
Speaker 4: identity of this football team through five games? If you
Speaker 4: had the peg one thing, Mike on what the identity
Speaker 4: would be?
Speaker 1: What would it be for you?
Speaker 13: Uh? I would say toughness, toughness, like we we toughness
Speaker 13: and grind. We just you know, it's kind of just
Speaker 13: they don't they don't they were toughness and grind. It's
Speaker 13: basically we don't back down, you know, from the injuries
Speaker 13: to that. It's toughness. It's just the team that they
Speaker 13: don't give up. They're resilient.
Speaker 1: Would you say that they're rooted.
Speaker 13: Resilient, toughness, recilion.
Speaker 4: I love it, Mike, appreciate the call as always and
Speaker 4: appreciate you bringing the energy.
Speaker 1: Uh I like it. Toughness I think is tough. It is.
Speaker 1: It's very tough. Bamboos tough. We had like a whole
Speaker 1: segment invasive, very invasive, and it runs deep. We've already
Speaker 1: outlined all of this. We had the green foam episodes
Speaker 1: I mean to talk about. I mean, listen, you just
Speaker 1: said it. You said they're resilient, right, they're tough. Okay.
Speaker 8: That's a Chinese bamboo for those that are lost. The
Speaker 8: model of the team this year is rooted yep.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 8: And coach referred to that and made the connection between
Speaker 8: the Reddit. Sorry the reference, Thank you very much for
Speaker 8: Chinese bamboo.
Speaker 1: All right. In Chinese bamboo, how many years? It was five?
Speaker 1: Four years dormant, four years.
Speaker 8: Dormant five in the fifth year, can go up to
Speaker 8: ninety feet? Is that what I remember? So the roots
Speaker 8: go down very deep. Okay, So in terms of the
Speaker 8: depth chart, we have gone down on the depth chart.
Speaker 8: Those guys are very rooted.
Speaker 1: Okay. Those guys are tough like the Chinese bamboo. Right,
Speaker 1: everybody ever hit hit bamboo. Gamboo's very tough. Okay.
Speaker 8: All right, go try some white tie if you want to,
Speaker 8: all right, some jiu jitsus if you want to.
Speaker 1: So a lot. I think that's working for a coach
Speaker 1: right now. Okay. The actual acronym is working very well.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 5: I think five years, right, five years, then you see
Speaker 5: the roots start growing, and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it grows up ninety six feet actually, and the
Speaker 4: Cowboys last one a super Bowl win.
Speaker 1: Ninety six Super Bowl confirm. I mean, that's part of it.
Speaker 5: And it was my fifth year, and this correlation is there.
Speaker 4: It is there, and they've played better football. Let's talk
Speaker 4: about the football side of things.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about football.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they I mean, they grinded it out like it
Speaker 4: was black rifle coffee this past week and they made
Speaker 4: they made it happen. And so I agree with Mike
Speaker 4: right now, I want to see it consistently. I want
Speaker 4: to see it against a team where you have to
Speaker 4: be tough, you have to be gritty, you have to
Speaker 4: grind it out. Against the Pitts or the Detroit Lions
Speaker 4: coming up this week.
Speaker 1: That's a huge test for this team.
Speaker 6: Another blue collar team, that's what we're sad.
Speaker 1: Another blue collar team first Pittsburgh and now and a
Speaker 1: step up in talent, absolute freaking big time.
Speaker 6: So I mean, just I like, I like that physicality
Speaker 6: is a conversation for the Cowboys in a positive way
Speaker 6: at this stage of the season, right because first and
Speaker 6: throughout September question was, you know, can they why are
Speaker 6: they being out physical by teams like the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 6: And but now he starts seeing guys like we're not
Speaker 6: starting because Jay Lou was always that dog when it
Speaker 6: came to that. But you're starting to see other guys
Speaker 6: adopt the mentality and the physicality of some of a
Speaker 6: veteran like Jordan Lewis, of a veteran like DeMarcus Lawrence,
Speaker 6: where it's just like, you're not You're not just gonna
Speaker 6: come in here and punch us in the face. As
Speaker 6: a matter of fact, we're in your living room and
Speaker 6: you're still not just gonna punch us in the face,
Speaker 6: brought Kaufman.
Speaker 1: I like what I saw. Keep that up, Okay.
Speaker 6: So yeah, if you keep that physicality and that you
Speaker 6: know that bully mentality and you're not going to be
Speaker 6: the one bully being bullied, you're going to be the
Speaker 6: one bullying guys. And you add execution to that, the
Speaker 6: rest kind of starts to fall into place.
Speaker 4: And the breaking news that Isaiah was referring to that
Speaker 4: happened in New York. By the way, Adam Schefter as
Speaker 4: of just a couple of minutes ago. ESPN sources say
Speaker 4: the Jets have fired head coach Robert Salah.
Speaker 1: It's going to be very interesting.
Speaker 5: And Rogers blowing it up.
Speaker 1: Man, not direct.
Speaker 6: Don't blame the offensive coordinator you brought in. They was
Speaker 6: supposed to fix your offense. Blame the blame head coach
Speaker 6: who helped get you there in the first place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know who. Situation, cold world, no blanks.
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody's surprised that the Jets are sort
Speaker 5: of not doing just going great internally, you know, and
Speaker 5: then you have Aaron Rodgers performance on top of that.
Speaker 5: I just think, yeah, something something had to give there.
Speaker 4: Just the fact that they went straight to the top though,
Speaker 4: is very wild at this point in the season.
Speaker 1: We're five weeks in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the first team.
Speaker 6: It took for them to not have a quarterback who
Speaker 6: can get you a game winning drive when you need
Speaker 6: it most.
Speaker 5: We're going there.
Speaker 6: Sailing throws down the deep right side.
Speaker 4: I just want to look at the entire left side
Speaker 4: of our seeing's reaction and then Patrick's looking years to
Speaker 4: say it, but.
Speaker 1: You said getting did he?
Speaker 14: Okay?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 13: Hello Hello?
Speaker 5: Picked off by former Cowboys legend Stefan Gilmore.
Speaker 6: Not talking about the totality of his war. That is
Speaker 6: not up for debate. He's the first ball Hall of Famer.
Speaker 6: But the question is did he Nope, he didn't hear right?
Speaker 1: All right, all right talk, Let's go to Dano in Florida.
Speaker 4: Dano, the question today is what is the identity of
Speaker 4: this Cowboys team through Week five?
Speaker 15: I think it's the well, the physicality of the offensive
Speaker 15: line in some respect. I mean, you guys might not
Speaker 15: like this, but I think when TJ. Bass went in
Speaker 15: there and they moved Smith out to left tackle between
Speaker 15: BB and that left side, I think it's tough. I
Speaker 15: think they stable smacked you in the fate.
Speaker 13: So I know it was.
Speaker 15: One of the five weeks, but I really liked what
Speaker 15: I saw, and I really hope they keep Smith out there.
Speaker 15: I know they're saying they won't, but I think it
Speaker 15: was last year or the year before. You guys all
Speaker 15: had conversations about best five, best five. I think DJ
Speaker 15: Bass factors into that best five, and so I think
Speaker 15: it's I think it's that, and I also think it's
Speaker 15: the linebacker play. I think that's the identity of this
Speaker 15: team right now.
Speaker 1: Great job, Dan O, Dan i'mino call keep him on
Speaker 1: the line there, yeah, Dan Or are you still there?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What part of Florida you in? Man?
Speaker 15: Oh, I'm on the east coast. But as it shows
Speaker 15: the cone, it's coming, it's gonna hit camp and come
Speaker 15: right at It's going to come across the state. So safe,
Speaker 15: man be saved, coming right at us.
Speaker 1: Man, Man, have you decided to stay there? Man? Hunter down? Man?
Speaker 1: Prayers up to you and yours.
Speaker 15: Thank you man. You guys do well.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I appreciate you, Dan Oh, and to anybody that is
Speaker 4: listening in Florida. I know we have a plenty, uh
Speaker 4: plenty of Florida listeners, stay very very safe.
Speaker 1: Our next caller is actually from Florida as well.
Speaker 4: But uh, I think when you look at this offensive line,
Speaker 4: and that's not the first time I've I've heard this
Speaker 4: question too, because the three to zho one texted it
Speaker 4: in said.
Speaker 1: With Tyler Smith TJ.
Speaker 4: Bass holding down the left side on Sunday night, pretty well,
Speaker 4: still struggling on the right side. Would you consider the
Speaker 4: idea of moving Guidon to right tackle, which is what
Speaker 4: he played in college, and keeping Smith out at left tackle.
Speaker 4: We've talked about this a little bit before, and I
Speaker 4: think that's kind of what Dano is maybe referencing when
Speaker 4: he said we don't like.
Speaker 1: It, they won't do that.
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's a possibility, But would you
Speaker 4: entertain the option based off of what you saw on soda?
Speaker 1: Why is that no? Because Terrence Steel is not playing terrible.
Speaker 8: He's not having his best season obviously, But you think
Speaker 8: about the gauntlet of defensive ends that we were ne were
Speaker 8: going against this year, and you can say, okay.
Speaker 1: Well this is who's on the schedule.
Speaker 8: You absolutely correct, right, you got said your game of
Speaker 8: But the reality is you gave him a pocket full
Speaker 8: of money.
Speaker 1: So you gave him a pocket full of money.
Speaker 8: You have expectation of him to be able to develop
Speaker 8: into the player that you that you paid him to be,
Speaker 8: just like you expect Tyler Guiden to become the player
Speaker 8: that you drafted him to be. So you let guys
Speaker 8: be in a position that you will put them in,
Speaker 8: and you allow for them to become that right, you
Speaker 8: don't pull the rug from underneath them.
Speaker 1: I think I'm more.
Speaker 8: Concerned about Guiding right now than I am about Terrence Steell,
Speaker 8: because Terrence still is like he's he's not getting dogged,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, Like, it's it's not consistent,
Speaker 8: right He's not being as powerful and as as greedy
Speaker 8: as you want right now, but he's not dropping the
Speaker 8: ball right now. Tyler Guiden is having issues over on
Speaker 8: the left side in terms of giving up the inside,
Speaker 8: and that is something that only he can fix.
Speaker 1: Obviously there's coaches and.
Speaker 8: You know, and mentors and all that stuff that can
Speaker 8: help him out, but ultimately he has to make the
Speaker 8: decision of doing the right thing on the field. And
Speaker 8: I was going back and watching the game much like
Speaker 8: most of us do, and even in that first couple series,
Speaker 8: I mean, he got beat to the inside at least
Speaker 8: two or three times, and it's just like, it's just
Speaker 8: a problem.
Speaker 1: It's it's a real problem. And you think about it
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, oh, it's not that bad.
Speaker 8: He's young, Okay, you say that, until he until you
Speaker 8: remember that he's protecting the backside of your most valuable player.
Speaker 1: So that has to get corrected.
Speaker 8: And I understand that he's young, and I understand he
Speaker 8: still has a long way to go and he's gonna
Speaker 8: get better, absolutely, but those kind of mistakes, those short
Speaker 8: edges right, those straight lines from that left end position
Speaker 8: straight to the quarterback. He has to make those guys
Speaker 8: run the hoop like I don't know what, I don't
Speaker 8: know if he needs to tie a string to Tyler
Speaker 8: Smith so that they can be hip to hip and
Speaker 8: figure out a way. They have to figure it out. Yeah,
Speaker 8: he's getting out way too wide. I mean, it's not
Speaker 8: even it's not even like impressive moves that are beating
Speaker 8: him to the inside.
Speaker 1: He's just over setting.
Speaker 6: Repairrable, definitely repair by him, right, but the only way
Speaker 6: to repair it is reps. Yep, And so it's kind
Speaker 6: of risks. Risks.
Speaker 1: Risk comes with the reps.
Speaker 5: We're talking about yesterday. Confidence too. Yeah, if you take
Speaker 5: him out of that position and you have him sid,
Speaker 5: it's like, what does that due to the man's confidence
Speaker 5: he's drafted in the first round.
Speaker 6: I'm just going to say that you talked about money
Speaker 6: being given to steal and to the point you were
Speaker 6: about to make, and I've tossed it right back to
Speaker 6: your first round pick. Yeah, yeah, you're not. You're not
Speaker 6: yanking your first round putting.
Speaker 4: It but out there, like I said, put you would
Speaker 4: give up on two guys by making that one exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: We're not doing that. So all I'm saying is the
Speaker 1: caveat and agree.
Speaker 5: The caveat is where you've drafted them and the value
Speaker 5: that you've placed into those.
Speaker 8: Yeah, COSI has to. I mean, I'm putting a pressure
Speaker 8: on Coaslario. Now I love Coasaari, we talk all the
Speaker 8: time whenever I see him. I'm putting the pressure on
Speaker 8: him to get this corrected. I'm putting the pressure on
Speaker 8: him to bring the dog out of his starting right tackle.
Speaker 8: I'm putting the pressure on him to get his left
Speaker 8: tackle coached up. However, whatever method and modalities you want
Speaker 8: to use to ensure that he stays hip to hip
Speaker 8: with the guy that's on his right side, because as
Speaker 8: he knows, and as we see it on film, that's
Speaker 8: something you just cannot afford because every time he allows
Speaker 8: that to happen. Right, And it's just by nature of
Speaker 8: the position, any position on offensive front, but especially at
Speaker 8: that left end position where most most of the time
Speaker 8: you're going to face the best defensive end right, it's
Speaker 8: going to be on that left side because it's the quarterbacks,
Speaker 8: most of the quarterbacks backside. If you give that quarter
Speaker 8: give that defensive end a short edge and allow for
Speaker 8: me to get him inside and go hit back in
Speaker 8: the back.
Speaker 1: What do you do now when Cooper Rushi becomes your guy?
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying Like that, that's the reality
Speaker 8: of the situation. And so I mean, I understand that
Speaker 8: there's development that has to happen there, but they have
Speaker 8: to find that solution sooner.
Speaker 1: Than I'll also say this when it comes to TJ. Bass.
Speaker 6: And I said this in the off season, early in
Speaker 6: the off season, after Tyrone after Tyrone Smith departed for
Speaker 6: the Jets, and we're talking about the Jets.
Speaker 1: Good luck with that turn.
Speaker 6: But when you talk about TJ Bass, the end of
Speaker 6: the Zach Martin era is upon us. Is that in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know. It could very well be. I
Speaker 1: don't see it extending into twenty twenty six. Don't break
Speaker 1: any news here.
Speaker 6: It's my opinion unfair, but you're not far off. And
Speaker 6: this is because the conversation. No one had broke the conversation,
Speaker 6: and it was just sitting on my brain in March,
Speaker 6: and I was like, why is no one talking about
Speaker 6: this right? Because he's still Zach Martin. We talk about
Speaker 6: Zach Martin h dropping down a few levels, it's still
Speaker 6: levels above the best next person. Okay, but that being said,
Speaker 6: you're starting to see cracks in the armor of Zach Martin,
Speaker 6: and then you start to talk to Zach Martin and
Speaker 6: you can see the dusk in his eyes. Right, as
Speaker 6: far as the career is concerned, TJ. Bass is your
Speaker 6: Zach Martin replacement. So when Zach Martin calls it a
Speaker 6: career and starts to get ready for his gold jacket,
Speaker 6: my prediction is that TJ. Bass is your starting right guard.
Speaker 6: So to the TJ. Bass fans such as myself, such
Speaker 6: as everyone on this on this panel, you will see TJ.
Speaker 6: Bass not sooner than later, but sooner than you might think.
Speaker 5: Would you give TJ Bass the not over brock Hoffman
Speaker 5: in that sense, Yes, I know, different positions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because I could trust him more Bass. Is
Speaker 1: it they're both especially with first team?
Speaker 16: Is that the discipline for Hoffman? No, No, it's not
Speaker 16: that the game play. He's been better on tape. I
Speaker 16: think the ceiling is higher. Take guard for TJ and not.
Speaker 6: Just right because left guards better get Yeah, but they
Speaker 6: both have a lunch pail mentality, yes, and I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it for both Hoffman and Bass.
Speaker 6: I just think I feel that Bass's ceiling is a
Speaker 6: bit higher than Hoffman's, maybe even more than just a bit.
Speaker 4: And I still like Hoffman as your backup guard in
Speaker 4: that sense too. If Bass is your guy and he
Speaker 4: is that, moving forward, you have a capable guard. And
Speaker 4: Brian Schottenheimer yesterday and the Coordinator's press conference talked about
Speaker 4: how he appreciated how much those two guys stepped up
Speaker 4: in a big way. They're gonna be the guys that
Speaker 4: will step up for you moving for I like both
Speaker 4: of them. I feel I like both of their approach.
Speaker 8: I like both of their mentalities to their work, you know,
Speaker 8: the workman mentality, I think Hoffman's.
Speaker 1: I have two dolls. I have two rot riders at
Speaker 1: the crib. I actually have three dolls. My wife has
Speaker 1: a little one as well. But I have two rot waders, right,
Speaker 1: Cashes and Clay. Right, Cash is.
Speaker 8: Cashs is the big doll. Right, He's the big one,
Speaker 8: big husky. Well, he's the one that you see and
Speaker 8: you cross the street. Right, he does most of the barking, okay,
Speaker 8: But but Clay, Clay is the one that I actually
Speaker 8: bite you, right, Clays the one that kind of sits
Speaker 8: back in chills and if you bring it, if you
Speaker 8: bring the smoke to him, he's gonna.
Speaker 1: Take you out. But both cool.
Speaker 8: That's how I look at Hoffman and Bass. I think
Speaker 8: Hoffman does most of the barking, gets the penalties. There's
Speaker 8: a lot of pushing around. The Bass is the one
Speaker 8: that'll punching your dog on chest and put you on
Speaker 8: the ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, the same thing with my cats at home.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Dylan in Northport, Florida.
Speaker 5: Didn't give you one of these.
Speaker 1: The Halloween caricature.
Speaker 4: Of Yeah Dylan again, just like we just told Dan.
Speaker 4: I hope you're staying safe out there. Glad you're able
Speaker 4: to give us a call here on this talking Tuesday.
Speaker 4: What's on your mind?
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 17: We're right in the teeth of this one. So we're
Speaker 17: Southwest Florida. But uh, you know, we're out of the
Speaker 17: flood dons and evacuations and all that and got the
Speaker 17: shutters up.
Speaker 15: Should be it should be all right, good.
Speaker 17: We've been through maybe worse.
Speaker 18: I don't really know.
Speaker 17: I guess we'll see. But yes, about what the you know,
Speaker 17: kind of the I guess what the team is, Yeah, identity,
Speaker 17: thank you. I guess it's physical resilience. We had kind
Speaker 17: of an FU draft is what I called it the
Speaker 17: past year, where it's just a bunch of guys that
Speaker 17: are like Jake Ferguson, f you guys, Neeland BBI, and
Speaker 17: I just wanted to say too. The last Tuesday, I
Speaker 17: called and we talked about how to pass the game.
Speaker 17: It's not going to succeed consistently downfield until you start
Speaker 17: running the ball and teams respect your rushing attack. Well,
Speaker 17: you guys have the advertisement for AT and T right
Speaker 17: with Todd running with the backpack with the b sup
Speaker 17: and cheetah. So that was Rico Dawdle last week against
Speaker 17: the Steelers.
Speaker 15: All right, he looked like Todd.
Speaker 19: And it's funny how all of a sudden downfield Dak
Speaker 19: had four throws past ten yards last week. He had
Speaker 19: nine this week, so in crafty condition. So it's funny
Speaker 19: how that opens up once teams had to respect their run,
Speaker 19: start stacking the box, and all of a sudden, the
Speaker 19: entire offense starts to click. So hopefully we found RB
Speaker 19: one and they come into that moving forward.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Dylan appreciate the call as always. Josh
Speaker 1: finally got to see it a.
Speaker 5: Little bit, finally got to see some throws to the
Speaker 5: running back.
Speaker 17: Man.
Speaker 5: It's interesting how things open up when you throw a football.
Speaker 5: You put it in the air and the running backs
Speaker 5: like right there.
Speaker 1: But but you know, but not only that, he ran
Speaker 1: that route on a corner. Yeah, yeah, yep, ran the
Speaker 1: route on a corner.
Speaker 8: Lineback made the corner fall out of safety, adjusted to
Speaker 8: the ball, and then secured a kid trajectory.
Speaker 1: There wasn't just I watched it about ten times over.
Speaker 6: Yesterday's nasty word nasty rolled on to the back to
Speaker 6: provide fight the ground for the ball and making it
Speaker 6: a possible, you know, review situation, overturned situation.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he cooked up. Kudos kudos to We'll save
Speaker 1: that for a Monday, Yeah, Monday. All right, we'll take
Speaker 1: our second break here.
Speaker 4: This segment was brought to you by Invisa Line, the

Speaker 4: or two more phone calls in conversation, keep it coming,
Speaker 4: bring it on eight eight eight five five.
Speaker 1: To nine seven more talking cowboys.
Speaker 10: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 10: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat
Speaker 10: repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is
Speaker 10: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
Speaker 10: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
Speaker 10: has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 10: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 10: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
Speaker 10: beef stew At and T five G.

Speaker 4: if we have a phone call, I may need you
Speaker 4: to tell us who it is.
Speaker 5: You're always played in, all your stuff is.
Speaker 11: Done, always wants Yeah, Yeah, we got Bob, he's in
Speaker 11: the Rio Grand Valley.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bob, You're on Talking Cowboys. What's going on? Our friend?
Speaker 18: Hey, guys, it's good to talk to you this morning.
Speaker 18: At is It is good to have the feeling that
Speaker 18: we've got right now that things are starting to come
Speaker 18: together for the Cowboys to fight the injuries that we had,
Speaker 18: and we've had, We've had some devastating injuries. But I'll
Speaker 18: tell you what. Give credit to Will McLay and his
Speaker 18: staff for the drafting that they've done, for the acquisitions
Speaker 18: that they've done are free agents and whatever uh in
Speaker 18: building the nucleus of a real strong team that could
Speaker 18: come together in times of real challenge. And that's exactly
Speaker 18: what has happened and has happened to us. I watched
Speaker 18: the whole game the other night that included the damn
Speaker 18: brain delays. I said, he was asleep. I'm gonna watch
Speaker 18: this ball game.
Speaker 1: Let's go. I love it.
Speaker 18: I predicted that at the beginning of the season where
Speaker 18: we were that after those first two losses, I said that,
Speaker 18: don't panic. If we get to the mid into the
Speaker 18: first six games and we're three and three, we're gonna
Speaker 18: be okay. And I feel like we are at uh.
Speaker 18: Dak had a terrible game, Let's face it, that he did.
Speaker 18: But when but when push came to shove, by golly,
Speaker 18: he he pushed and he shoved, and he stuck in
Speaker 18: there and gutted it out and made the made the throw,
Speaker 18: recovered the fumble first. Okay, it's quick as a cat.
Speaker 18: And then he comes right back up at uh and
Speaker 18: and makes the throw and wins the game. It could
Speaker 18: be more proud of the guys. I want to tell you, guys,
Speaker 18: I enjoy your show so much. I respect all four
Speaker 18: of you guys in your opinions and what you say,
Speaker 18: and look forward to hearing you every day. Thank you
Speaker 18: for being a part of my life, and thank you
Speaker 18: for taking my costs.
Speaker 1: Appreciates related to he's got.
Speaker 4: He's had so many greats over the years too, and
Speaker 4: he always brings it up.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with everything he said.
Speaker 4: I think Will McLay doesn't get enough credit for the
Speaker 4: way that they scout some of the depth and they
Speaker 4: get the depth going up underneath some of these stars.
Speaker 4: Because the stars are mostly homegrown. We've talked about that before.
Speaker 4: They don't add talent in the free agency market. You
Speaker 4: know who that's on directly, Will McLay is the fact
Speaker 4: that he's been able to homegrow the stars in Steve.
Speaker 4: But it's not just about it correct in the whole
Speaker 4: scouting department, but the way that they've supplemented that talent
Speaker 4: despite some of either the salary caps structure, despite some
Speaker 4: of the different hindrances you've had from an injury standpoint, they.
Speaker 1: Still find a way to win games in a big way.
Speaker 1: And they're three and two. They're three and two because
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 13: I really like it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you see guys like Linval Joseph making plays
Speaker 6: against the Pittsburgh stew is, blowing guys out of their socks, right,
Speaker 6: remember that that's so Will mcclay's.
Speaker 1: Less Stephen Jones acquisition.
Speaker 6: So it's going to take those kinds of players, like
Speaker 6: Bob said, to help Josh said, they help galvanize and
Speaker 6: down the road, everything we're seeing in real time, as
Speaker 6: far as these death guys getting these reps due to
Speaker 6: injury and whatnot, all of that's gonna come into play
Speaker 6: because they'll be ready for the postseason, assuming the Cowboys
Speaker 6: make it, like we believe that they will. And then
Speaker 6: you have that that more centric everyone's bought in because
Speaker 6: you've been in the trenches together through you you've survived
Speaker 6: losing Michael Parsons and de Marcuts Lawrence and Sam Williams.
Speaker 5: In and you know, so, yeah, wins off the real thing.
Speaker 6: Man, everything you're going through right now, if you handle
Speaker 6: it right, it'll come back and pay off.
Speaker 1: In a big way. And on the back end, every
Speaker 1: win is crucial. At this point, Let's go to our
Speaker 1: final collar of the day, Tony and Iowa. You're on
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys. What's on your mind?
Speaker 14: Oh, you know, just well, after staying up late watching
Speaker 14: the Steelers game and the way we were able to
Speaker 14: run the ball, like we went back to the old
Speaker 14: school mentality of just going and attack kind of remind
Speaker 14: me of the day that we had Kyle Kojar, Leonard
Speaker 14: Davis and the late great Marion Barble where they would
Speaker 14: just bully you. I think that's how we need to
Speaker 14: just keep attacking, is just stay away from the zone runs.
Speaker 14: And I think if we go that route, I think
Speaker 14: that's when you can get deuced. Bawn in there and
Speaker 14: I think he can take advantage of those holes that
Speaker 14: they're able to make.
Speaker 4: So if that's the case, Tony, do you feel like
Speaker 4: that could be the identity of this team or do
Speaker 4: you feel like.
Speaker 1: It's going to be completely different than that.
Speaker 14: I think it can be the identity. Like you just
Speaker 14: you have Rico Daldo, He's more of just he just goes.
Speaker 14: He doesn't really he does need to wait for a
Speaker 14: little bit of a holes, but he'll just hit you.
Speaker 14: It doesn't really matter if it's there or not. He's
Speaker 14: just going to head butt you in. Just go straight ahead.
Speaker 14: I think on that goal line where he dove, I
Speaker 14: think if you just had just a touch more patience
Speaker 14: and he could have followed Hunter into the end zone.
Speaker 14: But I think that can be Our identity is just bullyball.
Speaker 14: That's what kind of what Mike McCarthy wants, and that's
Speaker 14: going to help Dak just open up the field and
Speaker 14: get those deep balls and just start bullying them.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: Tony appreciate the call as always. Brian shot ennever talked
Speaker 4: about that. Yesterday he said, slow to go, slow to go,
Speaker 4: Rico doubtle, you want to go slow to the line
Speaker 4: of scrimmage, let it kind of all develop in front
Speaker 4: of you, see your lanes, and then go so not
Speaker 4: not saying walk up there.
Speaker 5: Like old boy from Pittsburgh. Oh my gosh, the patience
Speaker 5: that he had at the line. Ye geez man, But
Speaker 5: you that was an unreal though.
Speaker 4: Do you think this team with the toughness up front
Speaker 4: on that offensive line, whether or not guidance back quickly
Speaker 4: or not.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you will be. But do you feel
Speaker 1: like they can get to that.
Speaker 8: I feel like they have the guys too, I mean,
Speaker 8: but that has to be as a that's not one guy.
Speaker 8: That's a mentality said. That's one line. You know you
Speaker 8: brought up Kyle Kosher and if that's back when I
Speaker 8: was playing, right, I had an opportunity to play with
Speaker 8: two beastly offensive I mean an all the offensive lines.
Speaker 8: I was spoiled in that reguard, but two teams that
Speaker 8: ran the ball diligently, right Cowboys. When we had Marion
Speaker 8: back there, we had a nice little you know, combo
Speaker 8: with him and two shark Troyce, Felix Jones, you know,
Speaker 8: you know all the Joneses at that time, Julia Jones.
Speaker 8: And then when I went to New York, right, we
Speaker 8: had Brandon Jacobs and we had you know, Brashaw.
Speaker 1: You know, we had that.
Speaker 8: We had that combination and being able to just go
Speaker 8: downhill like what that does for your offense, It's it's ungodly.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 8: Even when I was in New England, our backfield was stupid, right,
Speaker 8: we had Maroney, we had Fred Taylor, you know, we
Speaker 8: had you know fulk. We had a heck of a
Speaker 8: combination in terms of just power guys and speed guys,
Speaker 8: you shifty guys.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to run the ball down hill.
Speaker 8: And to your point, we've talked about it on the
Speaker 8: show for years now that once you have that right
Speaker 8: with the quarterback that you have, it just opens everything up.
Speaker 8: And you saw that this past week. Did Dak throw
Speaker 8: the ball more than you wanted him to? Absolutely? You
Speaker 8: don't want him throwing the ball forty plus times, right,
Speaker 8: It just creates opportunities for for errors. But at the
Speaker 8: same time, when you can run a ball, you know,
Speaker 8: six plus times, you know, hopefully thirty times a game,
Speaker 8: effectively three and a half yards, I'll take that. Give
Speaker 8: me three and a half yards three plays in a row.
Speaker 8: Last time I checked, that's the first down. So I mean,
Speaker 8: I'm okay with that.
Speaker 16: Yeah, And Rigo's average was like four point four correct,
Speaker 16: everybody else brought his average down?
Speaker 1: Yeah better?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, that does it for us. Two minutes.
Speaker 5: I know we had three minutes, yeah minutes or three.
Speaker 1: Minutes over technically, but that does it for us. Here
Speaker 1: on Talking Tuesday.
Speaker 4: We'll be back tomorrow previewing the Cowboys defensive matchup against
Speaker 4: this oh Man against this Detroit Lions.
