Speaker 5: two to nine seven. My question for the fans today,
Speaker 5: our question as a panel is what.
Speaker 3: Would be your fix it button?
Speaker 5: If you can click one thing, oh, one button and
Speaker 5: it solves one thing for this Cowboys, what would be
Speaker 5: the most significant click the button?
Speaker 3: And this could go a number of Weell, I know
Speaker 3: where it's going on. I'm okay with it. It's not
Speaker 3: us talking about it. You guys talk about it on
Speaker 3: the field. Say it with your chest.
Speaker 1: No, and you are yeah, go for it, click it,
Speaker 1: fix it, but do what they do.
Speaker 3: I'm okay with it. Let's talk to We're talking to
Speaker 3: Cowboys Nation today.
Speaker 1: That's what we're doing.
Speaker 3: This is true. We're talking Tuesday.
Speaker 5: I forgot yeah, dude to basically say it with your
Speaker 5: chest Friday, but on a Tuesday and in a different name.
Speaker 3: So we're saying away with your fan, right, say it
Speaker 3: with your fans.
Speaker 6: Trying to make it anything, I have no idea.
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones just said it with his chest on one
Speaker 5: O five three the Fan, the flagship station of Dallas
Speaker 5: Cowboys football.
Speaker 3: And it was a This was in Encore Patrick.
Speaker 5: After the fireworks that we saw last Tuesday. I was
Speaker 5: very I think, along with a lot of the nation,
Speaker 5: was very interested to see what uh Sean. I wasn't
Speaker 5: gonna say, Sean and r j r J was out today,
Speaker 5: what Sean Jerry Jones said on the fan this morning?
Speaker 3: What did you take away?
Speaker 7: I mean, apparently their besties again. Okay, that's just the
Speaker 7: media though, That's just how it goes. I mean, you know,
Speaker 7: part of Jerry's had his his spats with plenty of
Speaker 7: individuals in the media. I mean, you can ask our
Speaker 7: good friend Jane Slater. She will tell you. And then
Speaker 7: you know, once once they passes, that storm passes, it's
Speaker 7: it's back to you know, high fives and handshakes. And
Speaker 7: that's what it sounds like it was between him and
Speaker 7: the fan this morning. And and now we turn the
Speaker 7: page back to football, thank god, because that's kind of
Speaker 7: why I'm here. Yeah, if I need drama, I'll go
Speaker 7: back home to Georgia. But that being said, the biggest
Speaker 7: takeaway for me is the updates that we got on
Speaker 7: Michael Parsons and and Doron Bland, which kind of leads
Speaker 7: us writing the news and notes. So today, being Tuesday,
Speaker 7: we're having this conversation. I said on yesterday, we won't
Speaker 7: know any real traction on their updates until Wednesday, when
Speaker 7: we see if they hit the practice field what work
Speaker 7: they do. Did talk to Michael Parsons yesterday in the
Speaker 7: locker room. Michael said that his status for Sunday against
Speaker 7: the forty nine ers is still quote unquote up in
Speaker 7: the air. He's rightfully leaving it to britt Brown Jamar
Speaker 7: to make that decision. But he also said interestingly enough,
Speaker 7: he said that there he was asked is there anything
Speaker 7: physically that he can't do, and he said, no, there's
Speaker 7: nothing physical he can't do. So that's a great sign
Speaker 7: he's making progress coming out of the by a week.
Speaker 7: But Jerry Jones told the fan this morning that he,
Speaker 7: being Michael Parsons and de Ron Blander probably game time decisions.
Speaker 7: They want to see what both of those players look
Speaker 7: like from Wednesday through Saturday. So that's where we are
Speaker 7: on both of those guys. It would be just massive
Speaker 7: if either one of those guys can take the field
Speaker 7: against the forty nine ers, and if both can, then
Speaker 7: that much bigger of a deal.
Speaker 6: It would be huge if if both were available. However,
Speaker 6: if you only however, if.
Speaker 3: You can however, if you could only pick.
Speaker 1: One Patrick Walker, who it's going to be the pass rusher.
Speaker 7: If I could only pick one, it's got to be
Speaker 7: the pass rusher because you know, I build my defense
Speaker 7: from front to back, and the more pressure you can
Speaker 7: get up front, the easier it is to cover guys.
Speaker 5: So you've already seen what this defense looks like without
Speaker 5: the second or without the defensive back in with the
Speaker 5: pass rusher I have.
Speaker 7: But the the defensive end position is in more dire
Speaker 7: straits than the cornerback position.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 1: So when you look at it from that, I.
Speaker 3: Agree with you.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to play that you know you're being
Speaker 1: because we haven't.
Speaker 3: We haven't seen it, but it also they could. They've
Speaker 3: shown they can.
Speaker 5: Win the games without Michael Partisons. They have one a
Speaker 5: game without Mike period. That's part of it. But I
Speaker 5: still would rather have him back when he's a top
Speaker 5: three defender in football right now, which.
Speaker 7: It'd be like if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers and you say, okay, well,
Speaker 7: if t J. Watt was injured and high Smith was not,
Speaker 7: you say, okay, we got high Smith.
Speaker 1: And we got Hayward, we can go and win this game.
Speaker 7: But then look tunneled in the face and say, would
Speaker 7: you still prefer to have TJ?
Speaker 1: That's always going to.
Speaker 3: Be Yeah, would you rather have t J. Watt or
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of their it's a comparable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's I guess Mink and Fitzpatrick is an
Speaker 5: all pro they have in their second area.
Speaker 7: That's in fact so, but it always for me, it
Speaker 7: always goes to number one. Build it from front to back,
Speaker 7: pass rush and QB pressure and stopping the run that
Speaker 7: helps you be able to cover better, shortens windows, makes
Speaker 7: it more, make it easier. But then when again you
Speaker 7: add the aspect of assuming, let's say Kayln Carson is
Speaker 7: ready to come back, Okay, Well, if Kayln Carson is
Speaker 7: ready to come back and you have Ao still still
Speaker 7: out there, then talent wise, as far as depth is concerned,
Speaker 7: you're not as pressed as you are without having Michael
Speaker 7: or Tank or Sam Williams or Marshawn kneeling and you're fielding.
Speaker 7: No knock to those guys because they showed up in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7: But there's a good drop in talent from a Michael
Speaker 7: Parsons to a Chauncey Ghost, from Michael Parsons to a
Speaker 7: Tyrus Weed, and even from a Michael Parson to a
Speaker 7: car lost and a veteran guy. So if I had
Speaker 7: to pick one, I want both both, both both b
Speaker 7: O F f UM, both.
Speaker 6: Of But would you choose Micah in that regard to
Speaker 6: I would choose Miael hundred percent. You need to, Like
Speaker 6: I've talked about even yesterday, there is no threat on
Speaker 6: the defensive line. There's nobody that you're necessarily scared of.
Speaker 6: There's nobody that they're scheming against. You can go one
Speaker 6: on one against anybody on our defense and feel.
Speaker 3: Okay about it.
Speaker 6: As far as having drown Bland in the game, that
Speaker 6: would be great. However, they're dealing with some wide receiver
Speaker 6: death issues as well. I mean, obviously Brandon Ayuk is
Speaker 6: out for the season, but Deeba Samuel is not looking.
Speaker 3: Great as far as health wise.
Speaker 6: Great player obviously, So I think you have enough there
Speaker 6: at cornerback to suffice Ye through this next game, but
Speaker 6: you definitely want mic out there.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I put it in high five last week.
Speaker 5: I said top five guys who have been missed the
Speaker 5: most Number one, Mica Partison.
Speaker 1: So you really were playing devils? Oh No?
Speaker 3: I actually yeah, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 1: That's Kyle.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: That's see.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing there's a lot of people. Let me
Speaker 5: pull back the media curtain here for a little bit.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people. I've met them at training camp.
Speaker 5: They're like, dude, like you ask like these questions that
Speaker 5: are like it really seems like you're one way or
Speaker 5: the other, and you're wishy washy.
Speaker 3: No, my my, like, my ground that I stand on
Speaker 3: does not move.
Speaker 5: I just like asking provoking questions to my analysts to
Speaker 5: challenge you and challenge you and challenge Isaiah because it's
Speaker 5: better radio secrets.
Speaker 3: All right, anyways, continue with NEOs and notes.
Speaker 7: Oh no, that's for the most part, that's where we are.
Speaker 7: We're keeping an eye on the injuries. Michael Parsons, Lebron Bland,
Speaker 7: Kaylin Carson, will see if he can go, Eric Kendricks, Tyler.
Speaker 5: And Tyler got Tyler any severity to Tyler's Well, I
Speaker 5: don't know of anyone.
Speaker 7: I don't know that it's a severity issue. As much
Speaker 7: as it is, he was not one hundred percent. And
Speaker 7: they looked at it from playing the from the aspect
Speaker 7: of playing the long game. So by all accounts, whether
Speaker 7: you asked Mike McCarthy, whether you ask Jerry Jones, and
Speaker 7: they were asked whether you ask Stephen Jones, and he
Speaker 7: was asked as well. All three were asked, does do
Speaker 7: they believe the best five on the offensive line include
Speaker 7: Tyler got and left tackle and they all said yes.
Speaker 7: They all said yes in their varying ways. So that
Speaker 7: puts me of the belief that once Tyler Gottons one
Speaker 7: hundred percent healthy, which could be as early as this week,
Speaker 7: he will pop right back out to left tackle, starting
Speaker 7: left tackle. And you know, for for as great as
Speaker 7: Tyler Smith has shown he can be at left tackle,
Speaker 7: he also struggled last week against the Detroit Lions, so
Speaker 7: it's not as if he's he's you know, kevlar in
Speaker 7: that capacity as well. So the Cowboys are going to
Speaker 7: put Tyler guy in back at LT one as soon
Speaker 7: as he's healthy enough to do so, could be as
Speaker 7: early as this week.
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks, that's something.
Speaker 7: That you definitely want to keep an eye on because
Speaker 7: the Cowboys certainly struggled. Shouts out to the mont Clark.
Speaker 7: He stepped up in a big way in the absence
Speaker 7: of Eric Kendricks. But Eric Kendricks is something different For
Speaker 7: Mike Zimmer in this defense, we don't know exactly what
Speaker 7: his status is, but we do know that added time
Speaker 7: to rest that calf and shoulder injury draws circle around
Speaker 7: him for tomorrow's practice and especially Thursday. Thursday's going to
Speaker 7: be the heaviest practice of the week. So if he
Speaker 7: can do anything in one of these first two practices,
Speaker 7: that's a good, good positive sign there.
Speaker 3: You feel good about it. Feel good about it all right.
Speaker 5: Since there's not really a whole lot else to add
Speaker 5: outside of news and notes, you want to take a
Speaker 5: first break, or you want to take a call here,
Speaker 5: let's take a call.
Speaker 1: You want to take a call, let's go Chris Beam.

Speaker 7: Was he going to finish the famous airplane line from
Speaker 7: the Airplane movie?
Speaker 1: If you know, you know, go back and google that.
Speaker 5: It's like the Reys Davis college game day last year
Speaker 5: at the Rose Bowls.
Speaker 3: You see that no, oh man, he.
Speaker 5: Was talking about Jalen Milroe, the quarterback from Alabama.
Speaker 3: He wears a shirt that says lank on it.

Speaker 3: Pat McAfee almost lost his mind on It's a hilarious I.
Speaker 1: Really wanted to hear what Josh he said.
Speaker 3: Movie theater.
Speaker 1: He's in a movie guy, two guy movies such thing
Speaker 1: as helf.
Speaker 5: All right, it's a talking Tuesday. We're talking to Cowboys
Speaker 5: Nation for the remainder of the show, give us a
Speaker 5: call eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
Speaker 5: Chris Beam just let us know in the in the
Speaker 5: break that when we went to him to answer the
Speaker 5: phone line, initially he said, somebody answered and there was
Speaker 5: just no one on the line. They could hear he
Speaker 5: could hear us in the background listening to the show.
Speaker 3: But hey, give us another call. Try it again. We'll
Speaker 3: see what happened. Happens this time around.
Speaker 5: We'll start things off though in north Port, Florida, or
Speaker 5: a good friend.
Speaker 3: Dylan on the line, Dylan, what's going on? You're on
Speaker 3: talking cowboys some guys.
Speaker 12: I got my black rifle coffee here too, beyond black.
Speaker 13: Very nice, Wakey, wakey. I want to talk about practice, practice, Ye, practice,
Speaker 13: talking about practice exactly. So this is troubling, highly concerning
Speaker 13: for me because there's one of two things that we
Speaker 13: can point to as to why practices are going poorly,
Speaker 13: and all the players are saying it all you know,
Speaker 13: the coaches are saying we're not practicing. Well, Mike McCarthey
Speaker 13: is now changing. The practice is up and you're not
Speaker 13: going to be good on Sundays if you're not practicing
Speaker 13: Monday through Friday or Saturday or whatever.
Speaker 10: It might be as cliche as.
Speaker 12: That sounds, but either the practices were set up incorrectly,
Speaker 12: which is troubling because that means the coach doesn't know
Speaker 12: what's going on, which I don't really know if that's
Speaker 12: the case or not, or in my opinion, there might
Speaker 12: be a professionalism professionalism issue where guys just want to play,
Speaker 12: They want to show up on Sunday and just be
Speaker 12: good because a lot of these guys do have a
Speaker 12: lot of talent, their premier players, their positions, and they
Speaker 12: maybe they can think they can just show up on
Speaker 12: Sunday and just play well. And so to me that
Speaker 12: screams young maybe not as professional as they need to be,
Speaker 12: because to me, professionalism is doing what your job entails,
Speaker 12: and your job and tail showing up and practicing throughout
Speaker 12: the week so you can play well on Sunday. So
Speaker 12: I just want to get your guys Tholfs on that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate you, Dylan, great question as always, and
Speaker 5: we talked about it a little bit on our show
Speaker 5: last week when we were doing the mixing match with
Speaker 5: Brian and Barry, because Mike McCarthy talked about it. He said,
Speaker 5: we didn't prepare the right way, which a lot of times,
Speaker 5: if you don't prepare the right way, that's practice. You
Speaker 5: don't practice the right way, you don't watch film or
Speaker 5: whatever it may be. We don't know what's going on
Speaker 5: in there. But that also that falls directly on your head, coach,
Speaker 5: directly on your head coach along with the players. Kind
Speaker 5: of like what Dylan's talking about. But there's a lot
Speaker 5: of different ways you could go about it. Do you
Speaker 5: think practice is a concern.
Speaker 7: For this football team. I do think it's a concern
Speaker 7: for this football team. And I said this last week
Speaker 7: when we're doing the mix the mixing match, and I
Speaker 7: was on Girls Talk, Boys Talk, and I harped heavily
Speaker 7: on one of those episodes with my concern about this
Speaker 7: very thing because this isn't obviously, we only get to
Speaker 7: see the media portion of practice, right, so from the
Speaker 7: remainder of it, it's us taking, you know, phrases from.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and michaemccarthy. I says, thinking practice better.
Speaker 7: And then when I stand next to Jordan Lewis on
Speaker 7: multiple occasions in the locker room after losses, and he
Speaker 7: says words like details, and he's frustrated because players. He
Speaker 7: feels like players are not treating every rep in practice
Speaker 7: as they would every rep in the game. When you
Speaker 7: talk to Michael Parsons in the locker room and he's
Speaker 7: saying things like, you know, he believes guys for the
Speaker 7: most part, all intents and purposes. He's saying, guys feel
Speaker 7: like they can just flip the switch in the game
Speaker 7: as opposed to giving that same energy on the practice field.
Speaker 7: So these are phrases and feelings that are coming from
Speaker 7: inside the locker room and the coaching staff.
Speaker 1: This is not speculation. This is not media driven, Dylan.
Speaker 7: This is not you and other Cowboys fans making this
Speaker 7: stuff up. This is actually a concern within the building.
Speaker 7: So I'm right there with you, Dylan, one hundred percent,
Speaker 7: and I see where you're going with the cal because
Speaker 7: it's it's on the coaches and the coordinators to orchestrate
Speaker 7: right to make sure that practice is being held to
Speaker 7: a certain standard.
Speaker 1: You are one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 7: It is also true that it's on players to be
Speaker 7: professional because you're getting paid to do this. Right before
Speaker 7: you came to the NFL, you were a collegiate player
Speaker 7: and depending on your nil situation, whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1: Let's take it back to the high school.
Speaker 7: Okay, when you were in high school, you were likely
Speaker 7: not getting paid to play football, like, but you probably
Speaker 7: gave it all in practice because you had something to
Speaker 7: prove and you knew that that would translate over to
Speaker 7: the game. Well, move two levels up, and now you're
Speaker 7: in an NFL and you're being compensated at a high
Speaker 7: rate to do that same thing, and now you turn
Speaker 7: down in practice. So yeah, there's a little bit of
Speaker 7: youth here, not a little bit, but a lot of
Speaker 7: youth here that goes into that that maybe they don't
Speaker 7: understand what the standard is as a professional. You don't
Speaker 7: just get the check and say, Okay, now I've made it. No,
Speaker 7: you haven't made it. You've made it to that point,
Speaker 7: but that point is not the finish line. It's the
Speaker 7: starting line. The finish line is Super Bowl championship. The
Speaker 7: finish line is a Hall of Fame career. That's what
Speaker 7: you need to be chasing, and you chase that every
Speaker 7: single rep in practice. Not going halfway in practice. Well,
Speaker 7: I just said, there's no such thing as halfway.
Speaker 1: Crooks.
Speaker 7: You don't go halfway in practice and you can go
Speaker 7: all the way. Talent will mask some of that depending
Speaker 7: on your levels. But as you start to get older,
Speaker 7: when talent starts to fade and your fundamentals start to
Speaker 7: really show what kind of player are you? So show
Speaker 7: up on the practice field, show up every single rep,
Speaker 7: and then that will process itself in the game.
Speaker 1: So I'm right there with you doing.
Speaker 6: Just to add to that is the changing of the
Speaker 6: guard in terms of defensive coordinator. Do you we think
Speaker 6: that's a big part of it because we're not just
Speaker 6: pointing at the defense as far as like practice and
Speaker 6: putting your best self out there when it comes to
Speaker 6: you know, just practicing, right, I'm thinking, is it the
Speaker 6: changing of the guard and the coaching tree this year
Speaker 6: that has sort of emphasized this issue?
Speaker 5: Maybe I think it falls on the offensive side too, though,
Speaker 5: because it's got to be a lot of times, yeah,
Speaker 5: a lot of times with the offense, it's timing, it's
Speaker 5: it's miss miscommunication, it's missed assignments, and all of these
Speaker 5: things are stuff that you go over and practice. It
Speaker 5: may not be completely fixed. There's no way you're going
Speaker 5: to be one hundred percent accurate in a football game.
Speaker 5: Over the course of four quarters. It's just not going
Speaker 5: to happen. There's going to be mis user's going to
Speaker 5: be mistakes. But these are all things that you go
Speaker 5: over and over and over and over and over again
Speaker 5: in practice, even though you are given a limited amount.
Speaker 3: Of time to practice in the middle of a week.
Speaker 5: I think it kind of goes back to what Patrick's
Speaker 5: talking about, and maybe it's in the in between the
Speaker 5: two of them, because the.
Speaker 3: Coaches aren't going to coach like it's high school. That's
Speaker 3: not the case. Mike McCarthy's not going to go row
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons in lines.
Speaker 5: Not that Mike's of course, he's injured and he's not
Speaker 5: even out there, but you.
Speaker 3: Get what I mean.
Speaker 5: He's not gonna take his old pro guys and he's
Speaker 5: gonna throw him on the on the field and say.
Speaker 3: Get me twenty like go run lines back.
Speaker 5: And these are pro athletes, so at some point they
Speaker 5: have to be held to a certain standard.
Speaker 3: This coaching staff also they're pro coaches.
Speaker 5: They're guys that have the top of the top, the
Speaker 5: upper echelon of coaching in this sport. To the fact
Speaker 5: that if you don't know a scheme, if you don't
Speaker 5: know film, you don't know what your opponent's going to
Speaker 5: try and do, and you don't anticipate it to the
Speaker 5: right way. That's why coaches get fired so often, because
Speaker 5: it's the top of the top and the cream rises
Speaker 5: to the top, and a lot of times coaching staffs
Speaker 5: don't have that cream. They just sink back to the bottom.
Speaker 5: Robert Solid, for instance, he's a great coordinator, wasn't a
Speaker 5: great head coach. We'll see what happens for the rest
Speaker 5: of his career. I'm sure he's gonna land somewhere and
Speaker 5: have a ton of successes as a defensive coordinator. Again, however,
Speaker 5: in New York at that time, he didn't do a
Speaker 5: great job of setting his football team up for success.
Speaker 5: So I think it is I think it's somewhere in
Speaker 5: the middle of practice. Is your all encompassing problem. It's
Speaker 5: going to be between your coaching staff and your players.
Speaker 7: And especially when you hear Mike Zimmer say things like
Speaker 7: fundamentals and we're entering week eight and your defensive.
Speaker 1: Coordinators to training camp.
Speaker 7: Fundamentals that fundamentals don't get learned in games, they get
Speaker 7: learned and refined in practice.
Speaker 1: And these are professionals.
Speaker 5: So that means you're behind too, is we're two months
Speaker 5: into this thing.
Speaker 1: This thing to the regular.
Speaker 7: Coordinator is talking about you need to get back to fundamentals.
Speaker 6: And I think it speaks to the coaching staff too,
Speaker 6: where it's like they evaluated it over the bye weekend
Speaker 6: They're like, Okay, now here's where we can make changes.
Speaker 6: They finally had a chance to reflect on.
Speaker 3: It and see, that's that's going to be big about
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 7: Right, that's the good news. The good news about this.
Speaker 7: Oh I should say the silver lining here is this
Speaker 7: is fixable. We're talking about what we are talking about
Speaker 7: practice mill This part is fixable. We can talk about
Speaker 7: will is the roster strong enough? Good argument? We could
Speaker 7: debate that. We could talk about are you know, are
Speaker 7: the right coaches in the right places.
Speaker 1: That's a debate. We can talk about that another time
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 7: But when you talk about effort and practice, that's fixable immediately.
Speaker 1: Just give it the time. Just give it.
Speaker 3: I like the across the hall conversations.
Speaker 5: If there's been one thing through the bye week that
Speaker 5: has given me hope, it's the fact that Mike McCarthy
Speaker 5: and these players seem excited Rico Dwell. We talked to
Speaker 5: him yesterday in the locker room and the way that
Speaker 5: he talked about the across the hall meetings, and he
Speaker 5: outlined he said, running backs with linebackers, wide.
Speaker 3: Receivers are with the corners.
Speaker 5: You've got tight ends with the with the linebackers and
Speaker 5: the safeties. I mean, there's a lot of different things
Speaker 5: that these these guys are learning from each other this week.
Speaker 5: And then Mike talked about it in his press conference yesterday.
Speaker 5: I said that it didn't feel like a bye week
Speaker 5: around here. That makes me feel like there's something moving
Speaker 5: in the right direction, even whenever it hasn't looked great
Speaker 5: to this point in the season.
Speaker 7: All right, One thing about McCarthy, and I'll say this
Speaker 7: before we go to the news day. McCarthy coming out
Speaker 7: of bie weeks in the regular season.
Speaker 3: Twelve and five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, been pretty good. Uh.
Speaker 5: Ab from Redondo Beach, California, which I looked up on
Speaker 5: a map. It's just like southwest of Los Angeles, like
Speaker 5: right on the coast right Ab. Yes, sir, How how
Speaker 5: far if you were to just walk out your front
Speaker 5: door right now, how long would it.
Speaker 3: Take for you to hit sand?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 15: Well forty five minutes. Oh really walking? Yeah about driving
Speaker 15: about Okay, so.
Speaker 3: You're a little bit further out. I thought you were
Speaker 3: going to be like.
Speaker 1: Right on mus on the water, as Josh would be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh would be like like Penthouse, right Josh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, you drive off the balcony and you hit someone.
Speaker 3: I love it. That's the idea.
Speaker 16: AB.
Speaker 3: What's on your mind, my friend? You're on talking Cowboys.
Speaker 15: Well, fixes would be to swap out the coordinators.
Speaker 3: Okay, and how how would you make that adjustment?
Speaker 17: Now?
Speaker 15: Well, I mean, unfortunately you can't do much. But I
Speaker 15: would do al Harris and I would do Schottenheimer. You know,
Speaker 15: I know people talk, I mean McCartney, I mean McCarthy,
Speaker 15: you know, even in Green Bay. You know, you know
Speaker 15: the reason why he left green you know he got
Speaker 15: fired from Green Bay was because his offense got stagnant
Speaker 15: and stale. And it's the same thing now. And you know,
Speaker 15: we talked.
Speaker 14: About last year how they had.
Speaker 15: The number one scoring offense. But you know, doron Bland,
Speaker 15: if you think about it, he accounted for two points
Speaker 15: a game. If you you know his six touchdowns, if
Speaker 15: he averaged over the seventeen games he averaged he counted
Speaker 15: for two points a game. You know, I just think
Speaker 15: that McCarthy. You know, he's a good coach overall, but
Speaker 15: I don't think his play calling is up to par anymore.
Speaker 15: And you know, I love Zimmer, but the same thing.
Speaker 15: I think they're both I hate to say over to hill,
Speaker 15: but somewhat like over the hill. And I mean with
Speaker 15: the modern they're not up with the modern NFL or
Speaker 15: the modern play calling. You know, he can't. I mean
Speaker 15: even Zimmer can't fix the whole problem with the San
Speaker 15: Francisco type motions and stuff like that. And McCarthy, I
Speaker 15: don't understand why he doesn't adapt some of that stuff,
Speaker 15: since he sees how effective that it is against his defense,
Speaker 15: why he doesn't, you know, adapt that into the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: Hoppins Now, great point, great point, ab. We appreciate the
Speaker 5: call as always. And by the way, while you're out there,
Speaker 5: you're not too far from Oxnard, California, so come say
Speaker 5: hi whenever.
Speaker 3: You're out there.
Speaker 5: He brings up a great point in terms of the
Speaker 5: play calling, and he said switch out the coordinators.
Speaker 3: I think he meant switch the play calling.
Speaker 5: And give those duties to Al Harris, give those duties
Speaker 5: to Schottenheimer because he said that you can't really do
Speaker 5: much right now in twenty twenty four, but that is
Speaker 5: one thing you can do.
Speaker 3: You can't really fire your defensive coordinator. You can't.
Speaker 5: But I don't think that's anything that we're calling for
Speaker 5: here yet.
Speaker 3: I would have pause, and the only reason being.
Speaker 5: Is that those two guys at least have experience on
Speaker 5: their side, and they've been around and they've adjusted through
Speaker 5: the course of a sixteen game, seventeen game now season.
Speaker 5: I would trust the fact that a turnaround would come
Speaker 5: more efficiently with Mike McCarthy and Mike Zimmer as your
Speaker 5: play callers because of the experience that they have, as
Speaker 5: opposed to Brian Schottenheimer and Al Harris, who are still
Speaker 5: in the building, who still have input on what is
Speaker 5: already happening in the building and haven't had that play
Speaker 5: calling experience on their backbone. I would love to see
Speaker 5: those guys get an opportunity. Don't get me wrong, because
Speaker 5: I think they're both great, but just in this current environment,
Speaker 5: in this current situation with the Cowboys, I don't think
Speaker 5: I would do anything.
Speaker 6: No, and Mike Zimmer's on a one year deal as
Speaker 6: is my McCarthy at this point, and I think the
Speaker 6: trust is there with Mike Zimmer he came into, you know,
Speaker 6: a tough hand. He was dealta to a tough hand
Speaker 6: when he came to the Cowboys because this is not
Speaker 6: the defensive personnel that he likes to run. Granted they
Speaker 6: try to help implement that, but you've dealt with a.
Speaker 3: Lot of injuries too.
Speaker 6: I don't think a lot of the blame can necessarily
Speaker 6: go on Mike Zibber because of the hand he's been
Speaker 6: dealt so far and the injuries, and not to make excuses,
Speaker 6: but to me, obviously it lies in the offense.
Speaker 5: And it's not an excuse, it's a reason exactly right,
Speaker 5: it's part of I mean, yeah, it's the facts are
Speaker 5: the facts.
Speaker 6: The science of the science when you don't have the
Speaker 6: pass ushers.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know, no he said it, it happened.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 6: The science is the science, and the fact that you're
Speaker 6: missing four of your top five yes, science, I know,
Speaker 6: darn it.
Speaker 7: For me looking at it from an offensive standpoint, first,
Speaker 7: when it comes to Mike McCarthy, I've seen and you
Speaker 7: know he he makes a great point. This is an
Speaker 7: offense that has led the League, it's been number one, right.
Speaker 7: And I also love the fact that he brought up
Speaker 7: the Deron Blank contribution to the scoreboard. That tells me
Speaker 7: that this guy knows ball. He also knows science. Good
Speaker 7: stuff there. But what I'm seeing are ebbs and flows
Speaker 7: in McCarthy's offense. And when it's flowing, man, it is flowing.
Speaker 7: I mean the damn breaks and they are racking up points.
Speaker 7: But when you're going through an EBB, and typically you
Speaker 7: start to dissect why's this happening? Then you could say
Speaker 7: things like Dak and See they are not on the
Speaker 7: same page. The blocking up front has just not been there.
Speaker 7: And again not excuses but reasons, right, And then you
Speaker 7: start to wonder, well, if Dak and Seed were on
Speaker 7: the same page for four quarters, and if the blocking
Speaker 7: up front was sufficient for the run game to take effect,
Speaker 7: would we be in a flow versus an EBB?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 7: So I say that to say I've seen Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 7: offense and pre snap motion as well.
Speaker 1: We talk a lot about pre snap motion.
Speaker 7: He went from when he first came into the Cowboys
Speaker 7: outfit McCarthy did there was not a lot of pre
Speaker 7: snap motion, and he was railed against for that, and
Speaker 7: then he revamped his analytics team and then you started
Speaker 7: to see more pre snap motion. And last year he
Speaker 7: did a ton of pre snap motion. But you've kind
Speaker 7: of seen it turn down this year up to this
Speaker 7: bye week. What if that gets turned back up.
Speaker 1: I say that to.
Speaker 7: Say, he's shown me he can cook up when everything
Speaker 7: is firing. So I'm going to say, let me see
Speaker 7: if he can cook up coming out of the bye week,
Speaker 7: because we talked about how good his teams do coming
Speaker 7: out of a bye week. Defensively speaking, it's a different
Speaker 7: situation because in the off season I was one of
Speaker 7: the biggest advocates of Al Harris taking on the defensive
Speaker 7: coordinator position. I could not be higher on Al Harris
Speaker 7: than I have been since he's coming to Dallas. But
Speaker 7: if you're talking about a mid season change in duties,
Speaker 7: I think for a first time coordinator, which which is
Speaker 7: what Al Harris would be, you need an off season.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 7: You need an off season of prep. You need an
Speaker 7: off season of getting the personnel that you want to
Speaker 7: run this type of system you want. You can't do
Speaker 7: that in week eight for a first time defensive coordinator.
Speaker 7: What I would like to see and kind of qualify
Speaker 7: this by saying, we don't know how much input El
Speaker 7: Harris has with Mike Zimmer versus not at all, So
Speaker 7: we don't know. There's a possibility that Mike Zimmer is
Speaker 7: sitting right next to El Harris when he's building the
Speaker 7: game plan for any respective week. Quite possible. If that's
Speaker 7: the case, wonderful, Maybe turn it up a notch. I
Speaker 7: don't know, So we don't know whose hands are dirtier there.
Speaker 7: But of course, because Zimmer is the coordinator, just like
Speaker 7: McCarthy is the head coach, title, the title with the
Speaker 7: title comes to blame, just like with the title comes
Speaker 7: to praise. Less of the latter, more of the former
Speaker 7: in Dallas.
Speaker 6: But nonetheless, I think, especially if you're the head coach
Speaker 6: who was also the play caller, I think that the
Speaker 6: spotlight is on that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we don't know how much input, and we
Speaker 7: know that he has input, but we don't know how
Speaker 7: much input Schottenheimer has with McCarthy. We know that they
Speaker 7: sit down with Dak every single week and they come
Speaker 7: up with a game play.
Speaker 1: Is that what's that scale? Right?
Speaker 7: That scale twenty percent deck and thirty percent shoddy and
Speaker 7: fifty percent, Mike, or is that more forty percent?
Speaker 1: Might?
Speaker 7: We don't know what the percentages are there. So because
Speaker 7: we don't know, we don't know if handing over duties
Speaker 7: completely the Schottenheimer is much different than what they're doing
Speaker 7: right now anyway.
Speaker 1: So it's week eight, they're coming out of the by.
Speaker 7: If this team doesn't cook up like we have seen
Speaker 7: them cook up on the McCarthy era after the bye,
Speaker 7: then we revisit this conversation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, there's a lot to digest there. Let's
Speaker 3: take a deep breath.
Speaker 1: Call is a killing it?
Speaker 5: So, yeah, there are two great callers, two great callers already.
Speaker 3: When we come back, though, we've got two more great
Speaker 3: callers on the line after the break, more talking cowboys
Speaker 3: than a talking Tuesday.

Speaker 5: More Talking Tuesday, continuing on eight eight, eight eight five five.
Speaker 3: Two two nine seven.
Speaker 5: Let's go out to Phoenix, Arizona where Allen is on
Speaker 5: the line, and Arizonia.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 10: Oh knowing, guys doing great, doing great, excellent.
Speaker 3: What's your what's your fix it all button?
Speaker 5: For the Dallas Cowboys. One move that could fix the
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four season.
Speaker 10: You know, honestly, it all starts with DAK and CD.
Speaker 10: I feel like because the big going, you know, the
Speaker 10: defense has to start respecting TD a lot more. I
Speaker 10: mean not that they don't already, but you know, they
Speaker 10: start cooking. Then the running game opens up and you
Speaker 10: know all the other you know, receiver two, receiver three
Speaker 10: start opening up, and yeah, I just feel like if
Speaker 10: they start cooking, everything starts cooking. You know, defense, I
Speaker 10: believe in like Zimmer honestly, and you know, these injuries
Speaker 10: they don't help at all. But you know, just the the.
Speaker 18: Card you're dealt with.
Speaker 3: You know, it is the cards you're dealt with.
Speaker 5: Alan appreciate the call as always, and that brings up.
Speaker 3: Two good points. One, there still needs to be the
Speaker 3: belief in Mike Zimmer. We were talking about it on
Speaker 3: this show previously. Is Zimmer. He's still Zimmer. He didn't change.
Speaker 3: He just hasn't had a ton of success right now.
Speaker 5: Whether that's because of the injuries, because of the personnel,
Speaker 5: because of the system, whatever it may be. There just
Speaker 5: hasn't been a ton of success. But flipping to the offense,
Speaker 5: it does start with DAK and CD. Always that's where
Speaker 5: the paychecks begin. Yes, that's where the the sour cap begins,
Speaker 5: That's where the conversation begins, and that's where the presership
Speaker 5: is where a lot of it happens. That's that's why
Speaker 5: they sit next to each other. In the locker room
Speaker 5: right there in the center, because those are the two
Speaker 5: guys that you have to set the tone with, and
Speaker 5: neither one of those guys.
Speaker 3: Maybe Dak Dak has played good football.
Speaker 5: I would say I would be willing to say Dak
Speaker 5: has played good football outside of the turnovers.
Speaker 3: The turnovers are concerning. But but you can't stay outside
Speaker 3: of the turnovers exactly. That's that's all encompassing, correct. So yeah,
Speaker 3: both both guys got to be better.
Speaker 7: Correct And we talked about it yesterday with biology right
Speaker 7: and what was my answer to the question who would
Speaker 7: I Who do I need to see more from c?
Speaker 1: D Lamb?
Speaker 7: Yep, it's because for me, ce Ed Lamb is him,
Speaker 7: and when you're a top two receiver in the league,
Speaker 7: it's the onus is going to be on you to
Speaker 7: make sure that you know you figure out. And this
Speaker 7: goes to the coordinator as well, This goes to McCarthy
Speaker 7: as well. And I asked Brian Schttenheimer about it specifically,
Speaker 7: like what's plan coming out of the by a week
Speaker 7: as far as getting CD to defeat some of those
Speaker 7: coverages that the coverage looks that he's seen earlier in
Speaker 7: the season now than he ever did in his career,
Speaker 7: cloud coverages and safety shading toward him and things like that,
Speaker 7: and there just has to be a better plan going
Speaker 7: forward so that Ceedee Lamb isn't being deleted in the
Speaker 7: second half of games or the first half of games
Speaker 7: to then reappear in the second half of games. We
Speaker 7: need four full quarters of Ceedee Lamb being shoved down
Speaker 7: the throats of an opposing defense. And once that starts happening,
Speaker 7: you will start to see don't you do it? You
Speaker 7: will start to see Dak Prescott's proficiency improved because you
Speaker 7: will also see wide receiver two and wide receiver three
Speaker 7: and Jake Ferguson take a step forward. And as that
Speaker 7: passing game goes forward, then you start to see, guess what,
Speaker 7: assuming the blocking is there, the running game starts to
Speaker 7: take off because teams can't stack the box.
Speaker 1: They got to play back and they got to playoff.
Speaker 7: So for me, it will all go as Seedee Lamb
Speaker 7: goes because we've seen this movie before on this offense,
Speaker 7: they couldn't get.
Speaker 1: The run game going last year. Who do they get going?
Speaker 1: CD lamb and the wrist was the rest I think
Speaker 1: we need.
Speaker 6: You know, remember those old walkman's where it's like they
Speaker 6: just started coming out with like sport versions where you
Speaker 6: could like run with them and stuff.
Speaker 1: You see a walkman.
Speaker 6: We need one of those because we need we need
Speaker 6: to have our CDs.
Speaker 3: Stop skipping.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, No more bumps in the ruck.
Speaker 1: Skip skip protection.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, skip production for then you have it in
Speaker 7: your pocket, you can't even take a step.
Speaker 6: Exactly, the skipping songs and everything.
Speaker 3: Remember my iPod doing that?
Speaker 1: Yes, take it easy.
Speaker 3: I never had a walkman.
Speaker 5: No, I don't even know if you if you put
Speaker 5: it on a table, I don't know if I can
Speaker 5: tell you what it is.
Speaker 6: I had to use my like for real, I'm not
Speaker 6: even lying. Yes, I had to use it was yellow.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 5: I had like cassette tapes in the car with my dad.
Speaker 5: He had a FOD tourists back in the.
Speaker 3: Day, beat silver Bullet, No CDs. The CDs were there.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, earliest I can remember was the that tapes. Okay,
Speaker 3: that we're in there. But I never had like a walkman.
Speaker 7: Oh man, Okay, I have to show you one. I
Speaker 7: have to go digg in an addic is a walkman?
Speaker 5: With a CD in it there. I thought I may
Speaker 5: have had like a portable CD player.
Speaker 3: Is that a walkman?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean okay, that's what I haven't called.
Speaker 7: If you had that also had a rewind button, oh,
Speaker 7: baller status. Everybody knows that if because most of them
Speaker 7: only had the fast forward button, so you had to
Speaker 7: fast forward, you had to flip the table over fast
Speaker 7: forward as a rewind and flip it back over press play.
Speaker 7: Now I'm not there yet, and you have to keep
Speaker 7: doing that. But if you had one that had a
Speaker 7: rewind button as well, then you will. Probably Josh Rodriguez.
Speaker 3: He had one implanted in his backmobile car that was
Speaker 3: driving exactly that. All right, let's go to Bob in
Speaker 3: Rio Grand Valley. You are a final caller today, Bob?
Speaker 3: What's going on there?
Speaker 15: But I never had like a walkman home.
Speaker 3: Oh we heard, uh heard heard ourself.
Speaker 5: Appreciate you listening, but remember to turn down your radio, Bob,
Speaker 5: Bob there.
Speaker 14: Yes, sir, how are y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 18: I'm good?
Speaker 14: Did anybody watch the game last night?
Speaker 3: Watch quite a bit of it? Actually, what do you have?
Speaker 18: Did you notice what I noticed?
Speaker 3: What's that that was? It is that number.
Speaker 18: Baltimore. Baltimore got away from the running game in the
Speaker 18: first half, and look what happened.
Speaker 14: They were down on big time.
Speaker 18: All of a sudden, King Henry starts getting the ball
Speaker 18: second half and boom, they just exploded. He exploded.
Speaker 14: Now that I'll tell you something about the importance of
Speaker 14: the running game.
Speaker 18: Which I'm sure it does. But also what it told
Speaker 18: me was I have every right to be sick in
Speaker 18: my stomach because we could have had King Henry except
Speaker 18: Jerry didn't take the damn.
Speaker 3: Phone call in returnment and try.
Speaker 18: To get him. My god, we've got a general manager,
Speaker 18: this dumb.
Speaker 14: And with that, I'll get off and.
Speaker 18: Listen to anybody else.
Speaker 14: And oh, by the way, I agree with that caller
Speaker 14: uh before the last one when he said that Mike
Speaker 14: McCartney's Carthy's uh calling play calling is.
Speaker 18: Very very predictable. I'll guarantee you.
Speaker 14: On first now you know that might as well have.
Speaker 18: A committee meeting. You're right there at the line of
Speaker 18: scrimmage on the right side, because on the west side,
Speaker 18: because that's where.
Speaker 14: They're going to run the ball, and you can count
Speaker 14: on it just about every damn time.
Speaker 18: Y'all have a great.
Speaker 3: Day A tank, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I love Bob is.
Speaker 5: One of my favorite fans in general because he all
Speaker 5: encompasses exactly what we think a lot.
Speaker 3: Of the times, but we just aren't going to say.
Speaker 3: And I think where I said, I.
Speaker 6: Don't know, man, I don't know if I can do
Speaker 6: another Derek Henry call, like, I get it.
Speaker 3: Frustrating it but it is.
Speaker 6: It is totally But what are we going to do
Speaker 6: about it?
Speaker 3: Nothing? You can't What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Could?
Speaker 3: Nor could you? At the same time you couldn't do anything?
Speaker 3: Then exactly that's the point of it. I love you, Bob.
Speaker 3: But the thing about many gonna do.
Speaker 5: The thing about Bob that makes me laugh is he's
Speaker 5: a lot of times he's very even keel. Even after
Speaker 5: a loss he's called us in, he's kind of had
Speaker 5: a steady hand.
Speaker 3: He's like, man, it just didn't go our way today.
Speaker 3: I thought there were a couple of things that we
Speaker 3: could have done. Well It's like, yeah, you're right, Bob,
Speaker 3: like it just didn't go our away.
Speaker 5: And then this time he's like, not Derek again, I
Speaker 5: can't believe this stomach.
Speaker 15: I get it.
Speaker 3: What were gonna do? What are you gonna do you
Speaker 3: know what I'm.
Speaker 5: Saying, fifteen carries one hundred and sixty nine yards, no touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Last cool man, you know he went on.
Speaker 7: So okay, So here's what I am with it, right,
Speaker 7: I am not one that's going to I'm not gonna
Speaker 7: be labor the point, right I'm not.
Speaker 1: So I'm right there with you, Josh. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be labor the point that.
Speaker 7: Being said as one of the vain advocates who wanted
Speaker 7: Derek Henry A. Dallis, I'm also not going to begrudge
Speaker 7: fans that week in week out seeing Derek can redominate
Speaker 7: and they get to quote Bob's line to his stomach right, Like,
Speaker 7: I'm not going to begrudge them that. I'm not going
Speaker 7: to be the guy that keeps bringing it up every week.
Speaker 7: Right now, quietly to myself, I was watching that game
Speaker 7: last night. I didn't put a tweet out about it,
Speaker 7: but I was watching that game and I was like,
Speaker 7: so being that I felt that way, I know fans are.
Speaker 1: Feeling that way as well. So okay, cool Bob, it
Speaker 1: made six.
Speaker 7: But Josh's point, I'm also not going to be the
Speaker 7: guy that keeps bringing up but if you come to
Speaker 7: me and you're like, oh, no, see, we could have,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be like, yeah, you could have.
Speaker 6: I just I handle it differently. I stare at my
Speaker 6: TV like I'm Gomer Pyle from Full Metal Jacket, and
Speaker 6: I'm just Kubrick staring into the camera, staring through my eyebrows.
Speaker 1: It's just one of those things.
Speaker 7: Man, when you know you when you could have, and
Speaker 7: I think was bothering fans, you are special. I think
Speaker 7: what's bothering fans is the lack of attempt, right. So
Speaker 7: I think fans would find it much easier to digest
Speaker 7: if the all was made and money just couldn't be
Speaker 7: agreed on. And Derek was like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 7: going to Baltimore. I Derek Henry believe it's a better
Speaker 7: situation and they're paying me more money.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, you lose out that way.
Speaker 7: But if you notice fans are constantly harping on there
Speaker 7: was no call made.
Speaker 1: So again I'm not gonna belabor the point.
Speaker 7: But if a fan is still pissed off about it,
Speaker 7: I'm not going to judge him for that either.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 5: The credit to Derick Henry, to a lot of people
Speaker 5: thought he was done, and he is absolutely.
Speaker 7: Lot of people think a lot of things and they
Speaker 7: make a lot of comments and then things like this happened.
Speaker 7: So you should probably watch. But there's some people and
Speaker 7: stop just talking.
Speaker 6: There are some people that literally just schedule the tweet
Speaker 6: every Monday. Did you see what Dereck Henry did with
Speaker 6: those stats? You know what I mean? You get to
Speaker 6: do that every week and be like, all right, man,
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 18: So.
Speaker 1: Grudget, Hey, if you're mad about it, let's just move on.
Speaker 3: He's there, he's happy.
Speaker 1: Cook.
Speaker 3: Why are we upset? I know exactly. They went and
Speaker 3: got Dalvin.
Speaker 7: Cook, former all press.
Speaker 1: In practices. No he's not because he's not touched the
Speaker 1: game field yet.
