1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: The following He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:09,920

00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: at this time for Cowboys storyline? It's wins the December

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: twenty seventh. I am Nick Eatman here and let's do this.

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys and what's going on

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys in the playoffs and what do they

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 3: need to do? And how confident do you feel? And

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: all this good stuff. Can they get their mojo back

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: at home? Can they beat the Lions team that is

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: certainly not the Lions team that we've seen in recent years.

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough, physical game. Wouldn't expect anything else,

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 3: anything less from Dan Campbell and that group. And they

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: got a lot of they got a lot of good

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: coaches over there that have got that team playing well.

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: But obviously the Cowboys, we've seen it. We know they

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: play differently at home and the results are different obviously

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: at home as well. So all right, December twenty seventh,

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: I'll give a shout out to my best friend Chris

21
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: Fisher his birthday. He's it's the best dude. I know,

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it, no other way to say it.

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: He's the best, He's not. He's my favorite Chris of

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: all time. I muted and I'm to see Kelly. He's

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: not my favorite Chris of all time. He's just one

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: of my favorites from college. Anyways. Speaking of Chris, we

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: got another one online. We're gonna get right to the

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: lions here, Chris and Mississippi will start us off here. Chris,

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: what's up?

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 5: How you doing?

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: Man?

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: I'm great. You're my favorite Chris on the air right now.

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if I will be after this call.

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: Man.

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: When you talk about confidence level, I was at Keen

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 5: earlier this year when I called and you had Woody own,

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 5: and I think I'm more like a two now. I

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 5: just man, it goes from the top all the way

40
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 5: to the bottom.

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 6: Dude, roller coaster.

42
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I just don't understand. What I'm saying. Is like,

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy, why do you wait till this game to

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 5: pull out Hunter LINKN I mean, you've had all these

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 5: other games you could have used this man in And.

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: Is that a good or bet thing?

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I like what I liked the concept, but

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 5: the execution and the fact that they haven't been doing

49
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 5: it all year and it's unfamiliar to the quarterback and

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 5: to the running back. I just don't think it was

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: a good time to do it.

52
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: But if he scores a touchdown, what do you say?

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: Do you say? Wow? They waited all year long and

54
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 3: they put this and pulled this out of his bag.

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: Great job.

56
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 5: Okay, Well how about this, Nick. This is two games

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 5: this year, this one in the Philly game, and if

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: he had done what he had been doing earlier in

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 5: the season and kicking field goals, we would have won

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 5: the game anyway.

61
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: So when when did he not kick a field goal

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: this game?

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 5: He could have kicked a field goal to the that

64
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 5: one that was a fourth down. Place should have just

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: kicked the field goal. We'd have won the game.

66
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: What wouldn't have fumbled it? That was first and goal,

67
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: That was first and goal from the one.

68
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 5: Well, that was first and goal. I thought it was

69
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: fourth and.

70
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 3: Goal, first and goal from the one. Got plenty of

71
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: chances here, plenty of chances to score because Polar didn't

72
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: get in.

73
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had converted a fourth down with Hunter Linky

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 5: earlier when I thought they should have kicked the field goal.

75
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 5: That's what it was. But anyway, I mean, I just like,

76
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: I don't know, I'm just frustrated. I guess, no, And

77
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 5: since I was eleven years old, Yeah, we've been had

78
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 5: this good of a team.

79
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 7: I believe.

80
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 5: And I mean, the other thing is is that Michael Parsons.

81
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't like complaining about the refs. The

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 5: refs are awful. I don't know the sixth board. I

83
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 5: guess you just make them full time employees, but they're awful.

84
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: And he but you don't like complaining about him? I

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: love that.

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: No, I don't.

87
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 5: I don't like. I don't like the fact that Mike

88
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 5: is complaining and trying to be act like he's the

89
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: best defensive player in the league or on our team,

90
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: because honestly, the most consistent player on defense on our

91
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: team is Tank Lawrence and has been for years, and

92
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 5: in my opinion, he plays everything. He plays the run.

93
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 5: He put pass rushes, and I think that's the problem

94
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 5: with our deep with our run defense. Everybody wants to

95
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 5: pass rush. They don't want to stop the run. Micah

96
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 5: included in that this game he did do a little

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 5: better job, but he of pursuing the run and trying

98
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: to stop it. But this is the first game all

99
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 5: year I've seen him do that.

100
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't know.

101
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 8: I want it?

102
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 5: Like, how hard is it for them to tell him,

103
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 5: hey man, act throw your hands up when they're holding,

104
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 5: when they got you in a choke hold, throw your

105
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: hands up and fall on the ground. I mean, that's

106
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 5: a ten yard tennerty right there. I mean, they're not

107
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 5: calling it, so why don't you just try it? I mean,

108
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 5: try something different. It's just frustration on all and Nick,

109
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's gonna get any better. I

110
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: really don't, That's what That's what hurts me.

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: I don't either. I don't know if it's gonna get

112
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: better either.

113
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 5: Let me ask you a question. What would you give

114
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 5: for a What would you give for a run stopping linebacker?

115
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 8: Right now?

116
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I that's a tough question. I'd like to

117
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: have one. I'd like to have one, but I don't

118
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: know what do you give? And how old is he?

119
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: Does he have a contract next year? Is are you

120
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: going to keep him on the team? That's kind of

121
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: you can't trade it. You can't trade anything right now,

122
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: so you know you're not gonna give hi much for

123
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: a run stopping linebacker, because that means he's on the

124
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: street and he's probably not not that good, so not

125
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: a whole lot. But but I know what you're saying,

126
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: it's a big need. It's a big need. What you're

127
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: really asking is what what position do you think that

128
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: they really need to fix? And I think it's a linebacker.

129
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: So you're right, you're right on that.

130
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

131
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: I didn't agree with some of the other stuff, but

132
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: I mean you basically just you just described to football,

133
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: just the NFL, that's what it is. You were you

134
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: were out of ten, now you're out of two. You

135
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: could be at an eight next next Saturday night. If

136
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: the Cowboys beat the Lions, you know, which there's still

137
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: gonna be a frustration of like, well, nice win, but

138
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 3: they you know, can't do it on the road, or

139
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: they have to show they can do it on the

140
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: road and all that. But again, as I said yesterday,

141
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: nobody's worried about your confidence. No one's worried about my confidence.

142
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: Our confidence doesn't matter here, it really doesn't. So because

143
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: they are all these things that we want, and you know,

144
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: you're going off of what you see. But you know,

145
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, they have to figure

146
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: it out themselves. They have to figure out what they

147
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: can do. And I think Jonathan Hankins's injury, I mean

148
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: that right there is is becoming one of the biggest

149
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: He's one of the most valuable players on the team.

150
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: And if you don't believe so, just look it back

151
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: the last two years. Every time he goes out, they struggle,

152
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: and when he comes back in they play back better.

153
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 3: So I mean, get better Hankins.

154
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 9: All right, Michael, And for a fact check for you,

155
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 9: for Looki's both runs were on third and one.

156
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: By the way, just fact check third and one third

157
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: one from the earlier in the game he's talking about.

158
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: He's talking about for he's talking about first down.

159
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, he says when they ran them earlier in the

160
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 9: game on fourth down, the only fourth they were got

161
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 9: the fourth and two and Dack through it to Fergus

162
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 9: And those are the only only time they got the

163
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 9: fourth Downright.

164
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: He touched the ball, thanks Chris. He touched the ball

165
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: three times, well three times on that drive. He touched

166
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: it three times. He caught the ball once and he

167
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: had two runs. Uh, he was about to get it

168
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: into the fourth time he Uh, he didn't get the ball.

169
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean, that's simple as that. He didn't. He didn't

170
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: get the ball, and I think it sounds like there

171
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: was miscommunication on the play, on the play, on what

172
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: the actual play was. So yeah, you can you can

173
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: fault the Cowboys for doing that. First, for putting him

174
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: in the game. He'd already got in a couple of times.

175
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: But in that play right there on first and goal

176
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: from the one, it sounded like him and Dak thought

177
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: I thought it was two different plays. And so that's

178
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: that's bad. I mean, but but you know, those other

179
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: guys have got a score when they have a chance.

180
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: I mean I'm more I'm more upset with the Pollard play, honestly.

181
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: I Mean, I just can't imagine a running back that

182
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: didn't get in the end zone on that play with

183
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: that much space, that much room, and and you need

184
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: that much to go. I mean, you basically have to

185
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: be picked up and thrown down to the ground to

186
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: not score there, which what happened. Michael Colton, California, what's

187
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: going on?

188
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 9: Nick Christmas and the whole Cowboys nations? I'm doing good

189
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 9: Mert Christmas to you, the whole Cowboys nation and a

190
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 9: happy New Year to everybody. Anyways, with that being said, hey, man,

191
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 9: that was a disappointing loss. But hey, you know what,

192
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 9: it's been a while since we lost two back to back,

193
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 9: and you can't win them all. You know, one play,

194
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 9: they were a couple of plays from going either way,

195
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 9: you know, one we would have been sitting here talking

196
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 9: about was a great victory, and and list and that.

197
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 9: But anyways, Hey, there was a caller that the other day.

198
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 9: He pulls the question. It was a very good one,

199
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 9: you know, And I said, and I thought about it.

200
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 9: He said, you know, who are we afraid of? You know,

201
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 9: in the playoffs? But once we hit the playoffs, you

202
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 9: know who who afraid of? You know? And I thought

203
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 9: about it. I was like, man, this guy's right, you know.

204
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 9: But then as I thought about it, maybe I overthought it,

205
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 9: you know, but I was like, man, you know what,

206
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 9: you know who I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of the

207
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboys. At the end of the day, I'm afraid

208
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 9: we're gonna shoot ourselves in the foot like we always do,

209
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 9: you know. And you know, Prescott, you know, man, I'm

210
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 9: really pulling for the guy. I don't mean to see

211
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 9: here and knock them all the time. But I'm just

212
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 9: you know, I can't help. But what I see, you know,

213
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 9: like Parcells says, you are what you are, especially at

214
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 9: this point in his career, what is he? I mean,

215
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 9: in my eyes, he's a great stat guy.

216
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 5: You know, he puts up numbers.

217
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 9: But I mean, like I told you before, and and Nick,

218
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 9: you know, please correct me if I'm wrong, But it

219
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 9: seems like in the big games you can see it

220
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 9: in his eyes. It's like it's like the lights drawn.

221
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 9: Nobody's home, you know.

222
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 7: And no, I do not know.

223
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 3: I do not know on that way, I'm gonna say no.

224
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: So you said, you know, I'm gonna say no, I

225
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: do not know that. I do not know that nobody's home.

226
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: To me, the baller, he is balling out. Watch the

227
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 3: game the other day.

228
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 9: That was that That was a great you know, driving

229
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 9: That was a great throw. You know what, Nick, I

230
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 9: need consistency, not flashes of being good. I need consistently

231
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 9: consistency for him to be.

232
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 5: Good that every time.

233
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 9: Okay, And another thing I just want to say real quick.

234
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 9: You know the other day I made that comment about

235
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 9: Mike Tommins, and I just want I'm not at all

236
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 9: calling for McCarthy's job. But I listened to all social

237
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 9: media platforms of Dallas Cowboys, and I'm under the impression

238
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 9: kind of, you know, from hearing everything else, is that

239
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 9: you know, if if we didn't if we didn't get

240
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 9: over this hump, you know, go past you know, we're

241
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 9: first round, second round like we always do that, you

242
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 9: know that Mike McCarthy would be gone. So I'm not

243
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 9: at all calling for the man's job, not at all,

244
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, but all but all I'm

245
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 9: saying is if Tomin was there, I would want him,

246
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 9: you know. But all right, I'll hang up and listen

247
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 9: to have a good one and happy New Year's everybody.

248
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: All right, thank you. It's just when you when you

249
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 3: do the I'm not calling for anyone's job, but yeah,

250
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: but you are. You know, when when you start talking

251
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: about that, I mean yeah, I mean imagine saying that

252
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: to you like your spouse. I'm not saying I want

253
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: anyone else, but if it did, it would be it

254
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: would be this person. Like good luck with that. So

255
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: now now we don't talk about other coaches right now

256
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: or anything like that. And we got a head coach

257
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: he's got his team in the playoffs three years in

258
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: a row and trying to get trying to get them

259
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: where they want to go, and nothing's nothing's happened yet,

260
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: you know. I mean you can hear it in the

261
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: in the callers that it's like, okay, when this goes bad,

262
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: when they shoot themselves in the foot. I get it.

263
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: And you're going off of what you see, but what

264
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: you have seen but still got a lot to go.

265
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: I think this is you know, there's there's five or

266
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: six football teams in the NFL I think that can

267
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: win it all. I think the Cowboys are in that group.

268
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: They're one of the best teams. Uh, That's what I see.

269
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: They They do have some issues though running the football,

270
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: have issues with penalties, they have issues with things that

271
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: that will plague them in games, especially you know when

272
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: you get into the playoffs, but you also are good

273
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 3: enough to be there and have a chance to beat anyone.

274
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: And that's something that not everybody can say. And I

275
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: think there's something, you know, that's something I like to

276
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: focus on for sure. Brian and Pennsylvania is our next caller.

277
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how are you doing today?

278
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 3: I'm good? What's up?

279
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 10: I just I think it's kind of funny. I've I've

280
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 10: called a few times, and I keep talking about how

281
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 10: I don't care really what happens. I only care about

282
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 10: the postseason, you know, because it's really hard to get

283
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 10: not get wishy washy, right, And the Cowboys? Is they

284
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 10: a will to play like an all star team one

285
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 10: week and the Bad Newspairers.

286
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 6: The next week?

287
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: You know, bad be the first of the movie or

288
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: at the end of the movie.

289
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 10: Well, it depends on right.

290
00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 3: Right, right, that's the Bad News Bears. Well, yeah, we'll see.

291
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 10: But one thing I wanted to say is I think

292
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 10: we need to find these last few games. Don't worry

293
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 10: about playoffs and playoff pictures. Just worry about what we

294
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 10: can control inside and like, how can we how can

295
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 10: we improve our run defense? How can we get those

296
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 10: three and outs and get ahead because we play better ahead?

297
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 10: You know, How can we design a running scheme that's

298
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 10: more creative like the passing scheme that we've done this year.

299
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 10: You know, it's almost like the offense is almost there,

300
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 10: but we haven't figured out how to adjust when they

301
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 10: take away what we want to do. But I also

302
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 10: think it's kind of funny when you're talking about the

303
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 10: coaches because you got you got ten wins. Yeah yeah,

304
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 10: in the playoffs with a week two weeks ago, you

305
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 10: can run the playoffs. So it's like, I get it,

306
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 10: we're all frustrated and we want a super Bowl championship.

307
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 10: But let's just let's not act like they're they're nothing.

308
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: You know.

309
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 10: The problem with the Cowboys is their consistency range is

310
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 10: so wise. They can either play at this super unbeatable

311
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 10: level or this incredibly beatable level. I think we just

312
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 10: need to narrow those gaps a little bit and raise

313
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 10: that to where our quality, you know, consistently is higher.

314
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, as far as.

315
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 10: Everything else, I think after the season it is zero

316
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 10: and zero. It is a new it is a new league,

317
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 10: you know what I mean.

318
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: In the playoffs, of course, I mean and and and

319
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: I think what you described the Cowboys team, I bet

320
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: you most teams are the same way. I mean, there's

321
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: there's a lot of teams that that they've you know,

322
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: there's some they're good teams, but they have stretches as well,

323
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: and the Cowboys are in one right now. And we

324
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: we knew this was going to be a tough stretch.

325
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: I mean, we knew that Buffalo Miami back to back

326
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: was going to be tough, and you know, and then

327
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: you put Detroit around it with Philly and Seattle. I

328
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: mean it's testing this team, uh for sure. So uh

329
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: you know, I think I think, like I said, I

330
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: think this is a good, good football team. But most

331
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: good football teams don't go to the Super Bowl. So

332
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: they're going to have to figure out a way to

333
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: turn it on to be great. And and I and

334
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: I know that's what I'm hearing from you guys, especially today,

335
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: is that you know, you haven't seen you haven't seen

336
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: what it's going to take to go win, and which

337
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: is go beat a good road team. You know, we

338
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: thought we had seen that. And that's the thing about

339
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: the NFL. I mean, when you start the season with

340
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: a forty to nothing win over the Giants, you think, well, man,

341
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: they just crushed the playoff team on their own place

342
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: in the rain, forty to nothing. You know the Giants

343
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: are a good team. Well they're not. They're not. You

344
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: thought the Chargers beating them after the forty nine Ers

345
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: that was a good win, but they're not. They fired

346
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: their coach, so you know, it's it's been It's been

347
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: one of the you know, I didn't think the Bills

348
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: were that good, and then that now they're they're playing better,

349
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: and and and then you know, you lose to them.

350
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: So it's just this ebbs and flows of the season.

351
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it happens, and you know, we'll see though,

352
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: I mean, but it is. It is one of those

353
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: things where you gotta you have to focus on the

354
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: now because and the now does still affect the playoff picture,

355
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: all right, Gary in New Mexico, Hey, Nick, I.

356
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 8: Hope you're keeping receipts on all of these callers, because

357
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 8: I am not that that means anything, but I mean,

358
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 8: this is what we get. And I used to be

359
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 8: like this and hopefully I'm getting better. But after a

360
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 8: loss or a couple of losses, everybody's ready to fire

361
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 8: the coach. The play calling is horrible. Dak Prescott's no

362
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 8: good that this is ridiculous. Yeah, Dak Prescott's a good quarterback,

363
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 8: and Mike McCarthy's a good I mean, we want to

364
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 8: fire Mike McCarthy, to hire Mike Tomlin. We want to

365
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 8: bring in Bill Belichick, who's got a dumpster fire in

366
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 8: New England. This is really what people want. I mean,

367
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 8: appreciate what you got and realize the season is not over.

368
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 8: If you had a great article. You had a great

369
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 8: article on Dallas Cowboys dot com. If Hunter Lifkey doesn't

370
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 8: fumble that ball, well we probably win the game. I mean,

371
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 8: if we don't turn it over there. And that's not

372
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 8: play calling, that's player execution. You know, the play you

373
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 8: talked about was Tony Pollard. That's a great play call.

374
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 8: He's just got to get in the end zone.

375
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: You go back a week before to the Buffalo game.

376
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 8: Early in that Buffalo game, I think it was a

377
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 8: second play of the game, they took a deep shot

378
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 8: for Brandon Cooks. He was wide open. They just didn't

379
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 8: execute the play. Is that on the play caller? That

380
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 8: was a great play call. We just didn't execute it.

381
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 8: And that's just the way the NFL is.

382
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 4: And you work through.

383
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 8: These kinks and you figure this stuff out in these

384
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 8: games and you get better. I looked up something yesterday

385
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 8: just out of curiosity. I went back and I looked

386
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 8: up the twenty ten Green Bay Packers that was McCarthy's

387
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 8: Super Bowl team, and I found something interesting there. When

388
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 8: I was just looking at their scheduling results, he lost

389
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 8: two consecutive road games in December, and then he finished

390
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 8: the season winning their last two games, and then they

391
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 8: went on that Super Bowl run, which by the way,

392
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 8: they were a wildcard team. They won all those games

393
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 8: on the road. So yeah, Chris, you can repeat it.

394
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 8: So I'm just I'm not saying they're winning the Super

395
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 8: Bowl or anything. I'm just saying the season's not over,

396
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 8: of course, and let's see what Let's see what happens.

397
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 8: I feel about it. Tell me how you feel about this, and.

398
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 6: Then I'll get off the phone.

399
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 8: I feel about the Miami game kind of like how

400
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 8: I felt coming out of the Philadelphia game. Disappointed that

401
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 8: they lost. They probably could have won, maybe they should

402
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 8: have won, But I'm encouraged by the way they played

403
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 8: and their toughness, and that the drive that Dak Prescott

404
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 8: had at the end of the game really gave me encouragement.

405
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 8: I mean, right, they're good, They're good, They're close. Just

406
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 8: be patient.

407
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, thanks for the call, Gary, And I

408
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: agree with with what you're saying. And and I know

409
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 3: it's tough, it's tough for fans to get there, but

410
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: I agree with that. Now. The one difference I would

411
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: say about Philly is that the Philly game was the

412
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 3: first one. In Miami was the second one, and and

413
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: and the reason why that matters is that after the

414
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 3: first one, you're like, listen, tough game, had a chance

415
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: to win, play like that down the stretch here against

416
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: some of these other games, and will win that game,

417
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 3: And that's what you're kind of waiting for, you know.

418
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 3: So then okay, you did it again to Miami, and

419
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: then so like that, it's fine unless you finally are

420
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: going to get a win. You know, these games, these

421
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: moral victory types of games need to lead to real victories,

422
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: and so especially on the road. And so yes, it's

423
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: it's it's encouraging to say you can go into Miami,

424
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 3: go into Philly, play play like that, have a chance

425
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: to win, because you get in the playoffs, you're gonna

426
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: have have to, you know, make that play. But you

427
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 3: also need to be able to go back to something

428
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 3: in the regular season and say kind of like that

429
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: game when they win and they did it and and

430
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: they're not the Cowboys are not going to have a

431
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 3: win like that. They're not gonna have a winning record

432
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: on the road, and they're not going to have a

433
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 3: signature win on the road going into the playoffs, because

434
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: wash Rington won't provide that for you, and so Carolina

435
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: didn't provide it. Chargers obviously didn't either, and neither did

436
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: the Giants. So if they do go into the playoffs

437
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: at four and five on the road, they're not going

438
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: to have that signature win to to lean on. But

439
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: you know, it is, it is what it is. I mean,

440
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: take care of business and get a little lucky your

441
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: way and you maybe you don't have to go on

442
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: the road, you know. So all right, Travis and San

443
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: Antonio's next caller, Nick, what's going on? Hey, Travis?

444
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, So, I just I haven't heard the I know

445
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 11: you were talking about this yesterday about the win percentages

446
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 11: and whatnot. What you were talking about.

447
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: I actually did it yesterday. It's not that it's not

448
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: that good. I mean it's not it's not a it's

449
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: not a good stat Honestly, I thought it was, but

450
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: it isn't there.

451
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 11: And I and I'm sure it's not, but I guess so,

452
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 11: like I said before, I still think like you said,

453
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 11: it's we use a we use a poker analogy all

454
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 11: the time, like it's chipping a chair. Right, If you're in.

455
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 11: If you're in, you got a shot, if you got

456
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 11: a chip left, like play that chip and you just

457
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 11: see what happens. I'm still not I mean, are we perfect.

458
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 11: There's a team perfect. No, But you never know to

459
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 11: sit here and say that we know what's gonna happen. Like,

460
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 11: you know, someone could the Rams to upset the Eagles

461
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 11: and you may go to the you know, you may

462
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 11: go to Detroit instead of going to San Fran.

463
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 7: We have no idea.

464
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 11: You may beat San France for all we know. You know,

465
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 11: I don't think San Fran last year was expecting their

466
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 11: quarterback to get hurt, you know, in that Eagles game.

467
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 11: I do think so, you know, we were There's a

468
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 11: lot of anxious people out there, and I just think,

469
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 11: you know, we just need to just once we're in,

470
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 11: we just need to see what happens. But I wanted

471
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 11: to hit a couple of things real quick and just

472
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 11: let you pick one to talk on. I watched the

473
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 11: like a lot of people, I'm sure watch the San

474
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 11: Francisco Baltimore game. I know you spoke about it yesterday.

475
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 11: I don't think any area I looked at on both

476
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 11: teams that that was that that was like, they're clearly

477
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 11: better than us in this area except linebacker. Linebacker is

478
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 11: the one area to me that stands out when you

479
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 11: watch both those teams play, that stands with the most

480
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 11: to me. And I don't think Simon Clark. I don't know,

481
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 11: like you said yesterday, I don't know if it's the

482
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 11: neck injury. I don't know if he's still not over that,

483
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 11: but he doesn't seem to be as physical as he

484
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 11: was in college, and he is by far our biggest linebacker.

485
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 11: I think dan Quinn's I think dan Quinn's undersized. We're

486
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 11: smarter than you, and we can make it work. Has

487
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 11: a shelf life.

488
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 7: I know Belle.

489
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 11: I know Bell is Bell, and he he got forced

490
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 11: into service. I think he's gonna be like a good

491
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 11: JK replacement. But I think they definitely need a good

492
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 11: true They need an actual true thumper in the draft

493
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 11: or maybe two. The can compliment Overshown because I think

494
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 11: Overshown is gonna be kind of our Fred Warner. Not

495
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 11: saying he can't hit, but I think he's gonna be

496
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 11: more of the coverage guy. They need to find that

497
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 11: compliment and not the undersized. Well, this is our gonna

498
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 11: be our you know, our do it all guy. No,

499
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 11: we need a you need at someone's gonna set the

500
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 11: tone in the second level and help with that run defense. Sure,

501
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 11: and Pollard. Last thing and I'll let you go. Is

502
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 11: that play that everyone's been talking about in at the

503
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 11: goal line. I think that kind of defines his season.

504
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 11: And what I mean by that is if when we

505
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 11: look at it, if he if he knew he had

506
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 11: that burst nick, I think, yeah, he doesn't cut that

507
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 11: up like I think if he, if he looks at Elliott,

508
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 11: he goes, I can beat this dude to the corner

509
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 11: like no problem. He doesn't cut it up. And the

510
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 11: problem is he cuts it up. But I don't think

511
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 11: is he a tough guy. Absolutely, I'm not saying he's

512
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 11: not tough, but he doesn't have he the He lacks

513
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 11: the ass that the cad And I don't think if

514
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 11: Zeke cuts that up, I don't think anybody is saying,

515
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 11: like zekeet stopped by Elliott there. So I just want

516
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 11: to see what you thought by that. And it also

517
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 11: kind of shows like his vision hasn't been there because

518
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 11: that's that was not the play. So I just want

519
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 11: to see what you thought about that have a great

520
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 11: week and talking next week.

521
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it's one of those things where if you

522
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: put your foot in the ground like you're cutting it

523
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: up and then and then you bounce to the to

524
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: the corner, you're right. You should you should be able

525
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: to win it. You should be able to win that

526
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: and at least get an angle to kind of dive in.

527
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 7: Uh.

528
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: I looked at that play a couple of times, just

529
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 3: you know, and it's easier to do when it's slow motion.

530
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: And you should have done this, should have done that.

531
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, your your vision and instincts and and is

532
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 3: what you want, you know, from a running back, and

533
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 3: you know you need that, you need you need power,

534
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 3: you need first, you need to be able to cut back,

535
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 3: you need to have the vision, acceleration, all those things

536
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: that you need just about on every single play. And

537
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: he didn't have it on that one cost him that

538
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: that cost him the game. But but you know, he

539
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 3: got a first down, and so you're thinking first and

540
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: go from the one, and what's the worst that can happen? Well,

541
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: he handed the ball to lip Key and and he

542
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 3: doesn't he doesn't get the football. He just doesn't get it.

543
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: And so uh and he didn't get it again the

544
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: rest of the game, and you wonder what what kind

545
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: of least he's going to have on that. I'm not sure.

546
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I mean didn't he didn't get it

547
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 3: again and they were down for first and goal from

548
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: the one, and then they decide to, you know, run

549
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 3: that play where they'd say, who's the best pass rusher?

550
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: This guy, Okay, let's unblock him, and he got a

551
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: ten yard sack, but it actually helped him because they

552
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 3: were able to get you know, throw it in there linebacker.

553
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 3: I agree, we got to get we got to see that.

554
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to see some some improvement at linebacker

555
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: next year. And you know, it's hard, it's it's hard

556
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: to go into all that what they're gonna do, what

557
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 3: kind of scheme, because you know, the end of the

558
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: year is gonna come and people are gonna look at

559
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: other head coaches and is dan Quinn gonna be on

560
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 3: that list? And is he gonna is he gonna take

561
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 3: another time? I don't know, I don't know what what

562
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: you know, who the coordinator is. I mean, I think

563
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: that's that you have to factor that in. And because

564
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: it's too early to factor that in. It's too early

565
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: to factor in. What are they gonna do and all

566
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. All right, Anthony and Columbia, South Carolina. Perfect, Anthony, Yeah, Anthony,

567
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 3: how you doing, I'm doing?

568
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 7: How you doing today? Good?

569
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: What's up?

570
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 7: Hey? Man? A man, I'm I'm gonna just gonna make

571
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 7: it quick. Man. I'm not trying to be, you know,

572
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 7: a cowboy. You know, I'm being a cowboy for probably

573
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 7: forty years. I'm a fifty nine year old man. And

574
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 7: from what I can see with the Dallas Cowboys, man,

575
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 7: they just don't have the personnel man to go deep

576
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 7: into playoffs this year. They're hurting at lineback. Earth, They're

577
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 7: hurting in the back. You know, you have some running back.

578
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 7: We just to me, we just don't have the personnail man.

579
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 7: They're going to have to They're going to have to

580
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 7: draft some guys man to fill in those spots.

581
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 8: Man.

582
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 7: Right now, I just don't see it being nobody in

583
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 7: the playoffs. Man, I think they're wanted done. And with that, man,

584
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 7: you know, that's that's all I got to say. I'll

585
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 7: just hang up and listen.

586
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: All right. I don't agree, but I mean they they

587
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: need more, you know, playmakers. There's no doubt about it.

588
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 3: I don't think there'll be one and done. I think

589
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 3: they're going to be the best team when they when

590
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: they face uh, you know, when they when they play

591
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: whoever they play. If they're the five seed or the

592
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: two seed, I think they're going to be the best

593
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 3: team on the field. If they're the two seed, uh,

594
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 3: you know, they they should win the game, you know,

595
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 3: five if you go to Tampa, you go to the

596
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 3: Saints or Falcons or who knows well what happens with them.

597
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I still think that they have

598
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 3: a chance to win that game. And then they should win. Honestly,

599
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: they should win their first game because they're they're going

600
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 3: to be a better team in my opinion, and then

601
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: from there, you know, if you can get to the

602
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: divisional round and then who knows, I mean, if you're

603
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 3: at the one seed or the two or who knows.

604
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's just just a weird league. It's a strange.

605
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 3: You know, you get the Rams that are playing good

606
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 3: football right now, and the Rams are probably going to

607
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: be a six or seven. You know, what do they

608
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 3: do you know? Or do they go beat somebody? So

609
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: who knows? I I don't I think that they You're right,

610
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 3: running back, linebacker, Yeah, those are those are positions that

611
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 3: you you definitely need, you know, in the playoffs because

612
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: it comes down to running the ball and stop in

613
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: the run. Those are two things that you really need

614
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 3: to do when you go up against a team like

615
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, your linebackers have got to play well.

616
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: Same with your running backs. And so yeah, there's some

617
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: there's some holes there. But can they go beat a

618
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 3: team when, you know, win a game. That's the thing

619
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 3: that that always kind of confuses me here. And we

620
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: got negative calls today and that's great now, But I mean,

621
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: the kid misses the field goal, Okay, somehow Christmas miracle

622
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: twenty nine yarder hits the post and he misses. Are

623
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: they a better team now than they were because there

624
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 3: there would be eleven and four? I mean, do they

625
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: have the same issues Those offense never touched the football

626
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: again after they scored a touchdown. My point is is

627
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: that it's it's just it's close there. I don't think

628
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: we would have negative calls today had they missed a

629
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: field goal. It had nothing to do with them. So

630
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: that's that's all I'm saying. Is is that they're there.

631
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: They're right here. You sure, sure, we'd love for them

632
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: to be better, but they're good enough to compete, and

633
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: when you compete in the playoffs, you have a chance.

634
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say. If you guys want to

635
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: go and start talk raft, that's fine. We got shows

636
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: for that. We'll get to the draft show. We got

637
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: people on here that are already studying for whatever reason

638
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: they they are studying that. And if y'all want to

639
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: talk draft, you can talk draft. I'd rather talk about

640
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 3: the Lions and talk about the games they got coming

641
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: up here. That's me because I still think this stuff matters.

642
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: April May June. Everyone's thirsting for football, you know, USFL XFL.

643
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: That doesn't cut it unless you're gonna get a kicker

644
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 3: that you're gonna make in turn all pro. Yeah, then

645
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: I'm interested, But that doesn't cut it. We wait so

646
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: long to get here, and now we get here and

647
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about the draft, not not me, not

648
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 3: on this show. So all right, Rob in Vegas, can't wait? Rob,

649
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: what do you got?

650
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: You know?

651
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 8: I love the show because I love the fans, I

652
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 8: love the callers.

653
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 7: Yep.

654
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 8: But what I'm hearing, I'm a little confused. Of course,

655
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 8: we're happy the Cowboys are going to the playoffs.

656
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 12: We're obviously big fans.

657
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 8: We call in so we listen to the show.

658
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 12: But you gotta be realistic.

659
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 8: It's not that when I call in it it's not

660
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 8: that I'm saying they can't win. Of course, they do win.

661
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 8: Once you get in the tournament, you don't know what's

662
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 8: going to happen. But I penciled.

663
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 12: You know, if you told me this team is going

664
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 12: to have a top five quarterback, wide receiver, a defense

665
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 12: at one point in time, play these god awful teams

666
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 12: like the Giants in Carolina, and still we cannot beat

667
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 12: anybody on the road. We still lead the league of penalties.

668
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 12: We still can't stop the run, and we can't run.

669
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 12: So you looked to the future and you say to yourself, Okay.

670
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 8: What is it going to take to win in the playoffs?

671
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 12: And it's those things. Unfortunately, you don't usually play forty

672
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 12: thirty five type games in the playoffs. They're tight, and

673
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 12: we see when this team is playing in the playoffs,

674
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 12: they get tight and they get tighter on the road.

675
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 12: So I say to myself, ah, this is going to suck.

676
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

677
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 12: Could we beat maybe Campa Bay, yeah, probably, or maybe

678
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 12: the Saints, but you got to go to Philly. You

679
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 12: can't be confident for that.

680
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 8: I know we beat Philly, we match up gold, but

681
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 8: it's a different animal in Philly playoffs. You know, we

682
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 8: get penalties at the worst time. We're not stopping the

683
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 8: run anytime this year if the other team wants to

684
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 8: really run it. We just don't have the physicality. We

685
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 8: have nobody big that plays live night, so we can't.

686
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 8: The only hope is you get a lead, like we've

687
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 8: played Detroit. We have to get a lead and force

688
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 8: Jared Goff to try to beat us that. I like

689
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 8: our chances, but we cannot fix that.

690
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 12: We cannot fix the penalties. We haven't fixed it in years,

691
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 12: so you can't expect that that's going to be fixed.

692
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 12: We can't fix Tyron Smith. You know, he holds this

693
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 12: hostage every year. As great as he is when he's

694
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 12: on the field, you just don't know. So you can't

695
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 12: fix those issues. So as fans, yes, you're you're gonna

696
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 12: get I had to you just had to call it

697
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 12: that said, be patient, be patient. Thirty years with playoffs

698
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 12: is great but the playoffs is only great if you

699
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 12: keep taking another step. The beauty of the nineties was

700
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 12: you saw them, it's got a little better, got a

701
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 12: little better, and then boom we we Okay, twelve or five. Yes,

702
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 12: I like it, twelve or five, I like it. Who

703
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 12: knows this year maybe twelve five.

704
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 4: I like it.

705
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 12: But not if you keep getting knocked out in the

706
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 12: second round of playoffs, it's meaningless.

707
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well so that's all.

708
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 12: That's all the that's all I'm saying, and that's what

709
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 12: most fans say.

710
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: That's fine.

711
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 12: We have we got confidence, we're fans.

712
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: Doesn't sound like that. I don't hear a lot of confidence.

713
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: I don't have confidence in what though, confidence in what

714
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: you say? We have confidence? Because I just heard the

715
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: last thirty seconds you said, where's the confidence?

716
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 12: Here's the confidence?

717
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 8: What I just said.

718
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 12: If they if they put it together like last year,

719
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 12: they went to Tampa Bay played probably the best game

720
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 12: they played all year.

721
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 8: They just put it together.

722
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 12: Unfortunately the following.

723
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 5: Week they did not.

724
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 12: So yes, this team has the capability to put it

725
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 12: together like what they played Philly. The problem is we

726
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 12: already did. Their track record on the road is bad,

727
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 12: and I don't see it getting any better, and they won't,

728
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 12: like you said, they won't know because beating Washington, you know,

729
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 12: so we won't know, So that's in their minds. Dak Prescott,

730
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 12: he's not the same quarterback.

731
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 8: In the playoffs.

732
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 12: He's not the same quarterback on the road. So as

733
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 12: much as I like him, it's just a fact. So

734
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 12: that he digs that. And the defense is not physical.

735
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 8: You're going to play probably physical teams. The games usually

736
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 8: get more physical in the playoffs. They haven't responded good

737
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 8: to that, so there's these doubts. But yeah, I'm happy

738
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 8: they're in the playoffs because what else would I be doing.

739
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, watching golf.

740
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 12: So that's the thing. We're excited.

741
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 8: But you just got a little realistic.

742
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 3: Okay, And I'm and I'm thanks for the call, and

743
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 3: I'm you know, for me, what this is, this is

744
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: my this is me being realistic. The Cowboys are clearly

745
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 3: the second second best team in the in the NFC.

746
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: I mean they they are not the best team in

747
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: the NFC. I think you can make a case about

748
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: Philly because they've beat each other and right now they're

749
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: about the same Dallas and Philly is about the same Dallason.

750
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: Detroit will find out. I mean, I kind of think

751
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 3: the Cowboys maybe are a little better, but they don't

752
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: have a better record, and we'll see. We're gonna get

753
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 3: to find out on Saturday night. So I think the

754
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 3: forty nine ers still are the best team in the NFC,

755
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 3: and then I think Detroit, Philly and the Eagles are

756
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: all right there. And then after that you got teams

757
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 3: that you know, they have to just kind of figure

758
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 3: out ways to get hot at the right moment. You're

759
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 3: seeing the Rams do it. That's that's my point is

760
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: that I think that the Cowboys are are right there too,

761
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: and they're but they're not where the forty nine ers

762
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 3: are and they haven't beaten the forty nine ers of

763
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 3: the last three times. So that's what's gonna be interesting

764
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: is if they have to go play San Francisco, where's

765
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 3: the mindset? How do they figure out and rally together

766
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: to do that? Realistically, it doesn't I don't see a

767
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 3: huge playoff run. I don't see them going to the

768
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 3: super Bowl. I don't see it because I've never seen it,

769
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 3: not since I've been here. So I'm realistic. I don't

770
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 3: get ahead of myself But that's the thing. Go back

771
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 3: and watch all of these shows if you have time,

772
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: and if you're that bored, because I don't ever do that.

773
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: I don't jump ahead. You guys are jumping ahead. I

774
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: don't do that. I think this team that's a ten,

775
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 3: ten and four, ten five, they're ten and five, they're

776
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: ten and five. They got a really good opportunity to

777
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 3: get to eleven to five and maybe twelve and five,

778
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 3: and then we'll see, we'll see what happens in the playoffs.

779
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 3: But all this jumping ahead, you look stupid. You look

780
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: stupid when you do that kind of stuff. I mean,

781
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: that's that's just the way it is, because you can't

782
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: get ahead of this league. You can only go by

783
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: what you see. And that's fine until they prove you wrong,

784
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 3: good or bad. No one thought they were gonna lose Arizona,

785
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: and they did. They got their ask it, you know.

786
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's that's the thing. You get surprised

787
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: by stuff, enjoy the moment. That's me. I'm I'll do

788
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: it my way, you'll do it your way. Yes, I agree,

789
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 3: some of you guys are having some confidence. Some of

790
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: you guys do not. But like I keep saying, our

791
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 3: confidence doesn't matter. They've got to figure out a way

792
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: to be confident. They got to figure it out, all right.

793
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: They feel like a broken record here Anthony, Miami, Florida.

794
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: What's up?

795
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 6: Make the quick? What's up?

796
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: But what's up?

797
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 6: Man?

798
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: How are you?

799
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 6: I'm good man?

800
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 2: AI?

801
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 6: Oh my god, that last segment, Nick, I'm with you, bro.

802
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 6: When we met, he heard my enthusiasm. But when I called,

803
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 6: you said I was a likening hot in the beginning,

804
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 6: because that's exactly what you're saying. I said, Well, my

805

Speaker 6: expectations all my love them regardless, and I expect to

806
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: get to this point and I'm good with that. So

807
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 6: all that looking forward and all that surprised me. I'm

808
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 6: still gonna support you.

809
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 7: But surprised.

810
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 6: So you know, wats me on that? When we had

811
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 6: said those movies and all that, you did watch Radio right?

812
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, okay, that's one of my top three.

813
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 3: I said, I said, Radio Rudy and remember the Titans

Speaker 2: Remembered alone.

818
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 6: When Coach Jones said, when it was in Barber shopping

819
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 6: and we had to give up football radio, and he went.

820
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 8: I love football.

821
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,960

Speaker 7: Remember?

830
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 2: The guy just yeah, exactly that being said, I love football,

831
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: and I love what's gonna happen Saturday night when the

832
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: Cowboys get a win, because they got to get a

833
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: win for my coach.

834
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 6: I'm a Jimmy Johnson. Of course you were the fanatic,

835
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 6: and the count of those are my teams. So Jimmy

836
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 6: going into the ring. All I can expect for the

837
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 6: Cowboys to do. All I wish for them to do

838
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 6: is continue this home dominance and win this game. I

839
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 6: don't care what else happened during the season, whatever, because

840
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 6: we'll see. We'll open up our box and our present later,

841
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 6: but I need you to win this for this coach

842
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 6: who set a standard. You got to give it to them.

843
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 6: He set a standard just the way Coach Landry said

844
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 6: a standing in those guys at America's team back in

845
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 6: the day for those ninety players and stuff. He set

846
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 6: a standard for these guys, Nate and all these guys,

847
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 6: Troy and them and and the Trippers and all of

848
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 6: them to enjoy what they're enjoying now, you know, because

849
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 6: not everybody's bringing it every week being joining the privilege

850
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 6: of what comes with wearing that star and that helmet.

851
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 6: So let's go ahead and beat Detroit. I expect them

852
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 6: to win that game and do what they gotta do.

853
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 6: And I got one more thing, and it's been the

854
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 6: topic of the day. Yesterday, I finally listened to all

855
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 6: one of the six shows. I listened to every show

856
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 6: was off. I listened to all the way to the

857
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 6: Girls Talk Boys, Girls Talk Boys.

858
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: I laughed.

859
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 6: I got mad at a couple of callers from calling

860
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 6: people out and telling them what they how they should

861
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 6: thing and shut up and all that, and you know,

862
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 6: and I learned something brought us as a gym, But

863
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 6: they is a gym.

864
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 7: Y'all.

865
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 6: Just don't know what y'all got with those two guys,

866
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 6: or you might do, but those two guys are gyms.

867
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 6: What I what I see with the colding on Michael, Michael,

868
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 6: go ahead and voice your opinion. I'm not gonna I

869
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 6: don't follow them all the social media stuff, so I

870
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 6: don't know everything he said. The voice it I mean, I'll.

871
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: Say this much.

872
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're holding you, they're holding me. But your effort

873
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 6: could be better on some things. But they're holding they're

874
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 6: they're they're egregiously. But in my opinion, in fifty four

875
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 6: years of living and I guess forty eight of them

876
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 6: watching football, I've never seen the calls and the referees

877
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 6: beat us bad. I don't know what's to that I'm

878
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 6: talking about in all games across the board. So maybe

879
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 6: they need to look into.

880
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 3: That little bit is getting held a lot.

881
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 6: I think it's getting held a lot. Yeah, I think

882
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 6: it could put do some of it. But I think

883
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 6: you know that you want him.

884
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 3: To keep talking. I mean, these are human they hear.

885
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 6: I want to avoid it, but you know, not do it.

886
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, be constantly doing it.

887
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 3: But he is. That's the problem. He's constantly doing it.

888
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: And you know what, he's one of the best pass

889
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 3: rushers in the league. If he's not the best and

890
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: he's not getting a call in ten games, there's no

891
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 3: way that that happens. There's no way that the best

892
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 3: route runner in all of all of the NFL is

893
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 3: not getting held and not getting a PI called one

894
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 3: time in ten games. That that's just not the way

895
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: they call it. That's the thing. The way they call this.

896
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no way go back to the Buffalo

897
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 3: game and and and thanks for a call, Anthony, I

898
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 3: appreciate you. You Yeah, good good stuff as always good positive,

899
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 3: you know, and and that's you know, you're you did

900
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 3: start the pot way way back. And when you said, hey,

901
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: I don't need a super Bowl and all that kind

902
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 3: of stuff, which which you're living in the moment. I

903
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 3: get that and that and that's that's where I think

904
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: that's a healthy attitude to have. But what I was

905
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 3: saying about Buffalo is that you'll go back to that game.

906
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: That was a critical moment in the first drive where

907
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: they got a first down there inside the thirty and

908
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: they called a penalty very late on Tyler Smith for

909
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: a hold, and you watch that and you're like, I guess,

910
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 3: But then when you see the way that Mike, there's

911
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 3: no way that that's not happening. So that's the thing

912
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 3: they call it differently on the outside, I think they

913
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 3: give the out I think they give offensive tackles way

914
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: more freedom to hold than they do kind of on

915
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: the inside guys, which I don't know if that should

916
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 3: be the case, but that definitely seems that way. All right,

917
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: Esteban and Austin, Texas is our next caller. What's up?

918
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 5: Not much?

919
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 13: I just I don't get a lot of chance to

920
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 13: call in.

921
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 11: But again, I just love the show, appreciate it.

922
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 13: I know one thing I really like about your show.

923
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 13: It seems like you're just as upset as US fans

924
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 13: after a loss. It seems to kind of I.

925
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: Don't know, I just don't know about it upset. I

926
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 3: don't know if it's upset, it's you know, but it's

927
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: it's a it's I don't even know. Yeah, I mean disappointed.

928
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 3: I mean you have chances, but like I, like I've

929
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: said before, had they won that game, they would have

930
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: stolen it from the Dolphins. I thought the Dolphins were better.

931
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 3: So the fact that they kicked the field going one

932
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 3: and two seconds ago, yeah, that sucks. It probably didn't

933
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 3: make your your Christmas dinner and taste very good. But

934
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 3: you know, after the after the they scored up for

935
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: the half, I thought they were gonna lose by twenty

936
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 3: one points. I one hundred percent thought they were about

937
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: to get blown out after they gave up that touchdown,

938
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: and so I was a little surprised that they hung

939
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 3: in there the way they did.

940
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 13: Honestly, no, I agree, and I think that going forward,

941
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 13: I see McCarthy adjusting the Bills loss was just terrible.

942
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 13: I don't think there was anything good that came out

943
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 13: of that, but him taking the team going into Miami

944
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 13: and making adjustments, getting the game, like you said, taking

945
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 13: it away from the Dolphins. I think there's a lot

946
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 13: of positive I kind of have some hope going into

947
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 13: the playoffs in the next few weeks. But I think

948
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 13: I think things will turn around for them in the

949
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 13: next couple of weeks.

950
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,479
Speaker 3: Right, all right, Well, appreciate it, thanks for the thanks

951
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 3: for the call. We've got a few more minutes here.

952
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: We've got a couple of transactions that just happened, just

953
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 3: kind of came through the wire. The Cowboys, needing linebacker help,

954
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: released veteran Rashawn Evans, so I don't know, and they've

955
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: activated Matt Willasco to the fifty three man roster, so

956
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 3: he's ready to come back and we'll see, we'll see

957
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 3: what if he can stay healthy. And I don't know

958
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 3: what that means anything for Tyron Smith or what probably

959
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: just for more backup help, maybe as a swing to

960
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 3: of course, you know he's a young player's never played.

961
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 3: But Sean Evans uh that you know that experiment, that's

962
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: that's kind of the point about would you take a linebacker.

963
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 3: Getting these linebackers on the street, I mean, there's a

964
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 3: reason why they're there, so uh and and they're probably

965
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 3: going to go back there. So anyways, all right, Reggie

966
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: Germany is our next caller. Reggie in Germany. What's up?

967
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 4: Hey, what's up? What's up? Merry Christmas? You too, Nick? Listen.

968
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you that I agree with you one

969
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 4: hundred bro. You know, I don't know what's what's going

970
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 4: on with the with the conversation today, but you know,

971
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 4: coming off and saying like the Cowboys is gonna be

972
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 4: one and done, and you know, then then you don't

973
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 4: need to you don't need the follow the team after

974
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 4: the first round, you know.

975
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but here's the thing, like I I understand,

976
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 3: like I say this a thousand times, Like my opinion is,

977
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: that's just my opinion, just like it's it's y'all's opinion.

978
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 3: Whoever says they're gonna be one and done. They're being

979
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 3: optimistic and realistic about what they believe and and also

980
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: it's a defense mechanism too, because you're like, they're not

981
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: gonna let me down again, you know, like I I,

982
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: and I understand a lot of people that think that way.

983
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get my hopes up because I've seen

984
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 3: this movie too many times, so I get it. I

985
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 3: understand why people say a certain thing. And that's kind

986
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 3: of my point is I can think a certain way.

987
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 3: I thought they were gonna lose by twenty one. They didn't.

988
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 3: My opinion didn't didn't matter at that point, you know,

989
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: it's it's so it's all about them. That's kind of

990
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 3: what we're saying. We can we're sitting here just talking

991
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 3: about stuff. Karthy's got to figure out a way to

992
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 3: get that team focus.

993
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 4: Sorry, though, Reggie, that's right, go ahead, exactly right with

994
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 4: you on that mature on that nick. You know, look,

995
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 4: we don't. You don't always agree with what I have

996
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 4: to say, you know, and I'm with you on that too.

997
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 4: You know, I don't I don't call you here you

998
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 4: agree with me. I call you to ask your opinion

999
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 4: that you know that tell me what your opinion is

1000
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 4: on that, and whatever it is, I'm gonna go with it,

1001
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 4: even if I'm not happy with it. You know, i't

1002
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 4: have to agree with it. That's just sure. You know

1003
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 4: it's your opinion. Because like what I was talking about

1004
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 4: doing the game face thing, you know, I'm still I'm

1005
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 4: just still a three. I still be there. You know,

1006
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 4: I played ball all my life, and you know, I

1007
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 4: know when I played a team that was like cross

1008
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 4: times rival and they've been kicking I ask for the

1009
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 4: last three full seasons, five seasons, ten seasons. You know

1010
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 4: we should. We're convinced that we're committed to not letting

1011
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 4: that go on a year further. And we take the

1012
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 4: field and I have a bed, we got a game base.

1013
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 4: We are you know, fair to play you ball.

1014
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 7: Let me ask you.

1015
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. Though you're talking about getting

1016
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 3: on the field and you had a game face. Who

1017
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 3: saw it? Your teammates? Yes, who else? Who else? The opponent?

1018
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't I'm not doing it for fans but.

1019
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 3: That But my point is this goes back to my point.

1020
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 3: Game face, if that even matters. You see it in

1021
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 3: your eyes, You see it in the guys in the huddle,

1022
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 3: You see the guys across from you. Do they have it?

1023
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 3: Do they not? The guys in the stands don't see it.

1024
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: The guys on on TV don't see it, and no offense.

1025
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 3: But the guys in a different country don't see it either.

1026
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 4: So that's my point, right.

1027
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 3: But so who are who are you and me to

1028
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 3: talk about someone's game face? When Fox doesn't show a

1029
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 3: guy's face more than four or five times a game,

1030
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 3: how do we know what game face is? The opponents

1031
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 3: might That's that's all I'm saying. That's why I think

1032
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 3: it's weird for us to talk about game face and

1033
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 3: leadership and and heart and things that you can't prove,

1034
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: especially from miles away. That's all I'm saying.

1035
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, but stick with it.

1036
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 3: That's your thing. That's your thing. And someone else called

1037
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: about dak in his eyes too. I mean, I just

1038
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 3: I don't see that. I really don't. I don't. I

1039
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 3: don't see game face. Eli Manning? Is my excuse there?

1040
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 3: Eli Manning? What was his game face? This guy's going

1041
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 3: to Canton and he'll he'll he'll have a weird game

1042
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 3: face when he goes there.

1043
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well has life in the weird face?

1044
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 3: You know, I got one. But then again, you know,

1045
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: I'm not really trying to trying to, you know, make plays.

1046
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: All right, Reggie, you got anything else? We gotta get rolling.

1047
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 3: We got one more.

1048
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 4: Call that I just want to thank you. Agree with

00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: what the attitude has been like to the callers.

1055
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 3: But go back, go back and listen. It's been It's

00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 3: been fun. I mean, but let me say this before

1057
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 3: you get to your point. I just want to say

1058
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: that I don't have the answers either. This is not

1059
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 3: what the show is not to be like. Throw at

Speaker 3: your opinion and I'm gonna tell you right or wrong.

1061
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be right right or wrong in your thoughts.

1062
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 3: That's just the way it is. I think what I

1063
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 3: think a big part is is I think a lot

1064
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: of fans go that they always say, am I the

1065
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 3: only one that thinks this? Or does anyone else think this?

1066
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 3: And That's what this show is. Is here to provide

1067
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,800

00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: Y'all think the same or not the same. That's what

1069
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 3: the show is. And I'm just here to kind of

1070
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 3: facilitate it and say, you give my thoughts, but you

1071
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: were all on the same boat. I'm not the voice

1072
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 3: of reason here. I'm just throwing stuff out what I think.

1073
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 3: So all right, sorry, Dylan, go ahead.

1074
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 7: You're good.

1075
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 5: You're good.

1076
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 1: I just want to shed, hopefully some positivity. It doesn't

1077
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: sound like it's been a lot of positive. Not really,

1078
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 1: there's not really where the same team as a word,

1079
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: a week ago, two weeks ago, when we were killing

1080
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: it with the same team, I mean, nothing has changed.

1081
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: The loss against the Dolphins hasn't changed anything. We needed

1082
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles to lose before. We need the Eagles to lose.

1083
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: Now we know what this team is. We need a

1084
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: left tackle. Okay, with a left tackle in that game

1085
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: we win against the Dolphins. I'm pretty sure. That pretty confident.

1086
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: And you look at some positives from that game that

1087
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: came through in the clutch, right, he delivered when it

1088
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: mattered most. You can say what you want about him,

1089
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, playing missing some stuff during the game, whatever,

1090
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: but he came through in the clutch defense, held one

1091
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league to five field goals.

1092
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a win. So I'm not going to

1093
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: complain about that. They couldn't get it done when it

1094
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: mattered most, So you know, that sucks, but there's some

1095
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: positive you can take away from that game. There's no

1096
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 1: need to ditch the whole season, want to fire coach,

1097
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: want to replace Stack, all this silliness that you know

1098
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm hearing kind of on Twitter and sometimes you know,

1099
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: on the show and stuff. So everybody's calm down the season.

1100
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: We're about to get into the real season here in

1101
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. We'll never go this week right now,

1102
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: this week we'll know, we'll know who the Cowboys really

1103
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: are when they play the lines, because thats who they're

1104
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: going to be playing in the playoffs again, and guarantee.

1105
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 3: It right now. I agree. I agree one hundred percent.

1106
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 3: I thought that that you're right, we're about to get

1107
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 3: get this thing started. We really are. I mean, the

1108
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 3: season's almost over regular season wise, but you play these

1109
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 3: games to get yourself in position. Sure, you'd like to

1110
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 3: have a better position than where they are. You know,

1111
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 3: you got to get lucky, and I don't think the

1112
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 3: Cowboys have been extremely lucky. You know, this this team

1113
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 3: was supposed to rely on defense, and they've had two

1114
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 3: really key injuries on defense this year that that has

1115
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 3: you know, it has hurt them, one of them at linebacker,

1116
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 3: of course, one of them at cornerback as well. But

1117
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 3: everybody's dealing with it. You gotta fight through it. You

1118
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 3: gotta fight through you gotta have the right you know, backups,

1119
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 3: you know, at these at these positions of need. And

1120
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 3: so that's what the Cowboys are still doing, still making

1121
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: roster moves, still trying to figure this out. But yeah,

1122
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 3: we're still we're just getting started here. Honestly, we're just

1123
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 3: getting started. It's about to get really fun. Uh, it's

1124
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 3: gonna be a playoff type atmosphere. I think Saturday Night

1125
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: against the Lions, and this is a team that they

1126
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,919
Speaker 3: have to go beat. They I think they can prove

1127
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 3: something to themselves. They gotta they gotta get off the mat.

1128
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 3: They're down two straight losses, but it's still there. I

1129
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 3: really believe they're gonna be sitting in Washington in a

1130
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 3: couple of weeks with one eye watching this game, one

1131
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 3: eye watching this game. You gotta take care of business here.

1132
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 3: But I I firmly believe that the Cowboys will beat

1133
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 3: the Lions. They'll be playing in Washington trying to win

1134
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 3: that game, and we're wearing Giant blue as well, hoping

1135
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 3: that that the Giants can maybe pull off a stunner.

1136
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: If that happens, that changes a lot of things about

1137
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 3: your playoff picture. But you can only control that. You

1138
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 3: gotta beat the Lions first, and we'll talk about that

1139
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 3: and a lot more tomorrow when we come back. So

1140
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 3: for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We'll see you tomorrow

1141
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,240
