1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: This these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman, what is up?

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 4: It is time for another Cowboys storyline. I'm your host,

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 4: Nick Eatman. But this is a different storyline. This is

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 4: different than any other one that we've done since we

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 4: started back at training camp in late July, because this

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 4: storyline is actually officially game week. It is game week.

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: There's no more off season. Off season is officially closed.

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 4: It is a Tuesday. It's an off day, just like

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 4: it normally will be here at the Star in Frisco,

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 4: and it is time to focus only on this week's

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 4: game against the Giants. Of course, I say that we'll

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 4: probably bounce around and talk about a lot of other

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: things because that's what we do here on the storyline,

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 4: But the biggest one, obviously is the game Cowboys and Giants.

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: Training camp has been long gone, the preseason is over.

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: Roster cuts, roster moves all these time. I mean, roster

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: moves will always kind of happen tweaking here and there,

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: as Bill parcels you to say, churn the bottom of

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 4: the roster. That will always happen, but the focus obviously

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: will be against the Giants, and what happens here with

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: any kind of injury setbacks before, it's not that big

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: a deal. We'll see as long as they getting ready

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: for the Giants. But if something happens this week, it

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: certainly magnifies things a little bit like it did yesterday

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: in practice Monday at the start, right when the media

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: was leaving where media gets to be out there, like

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: twenty minutes maybe, so I would say about nineteen minute mark,

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith starts walking off the field. Didn't look too

32
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 4: happy about it. Come to find out, looks like he's

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 4: got a hamstring injury that will limit him probably this week.

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: We'll see how it goes. Jerry Jones, Cowboys owner GM

35
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: said on his weekly radio segment on one O five

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: to three the Fan this morning. He'll he'll do that

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: every Tuesday morning, so always some storylines coming out of that,

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: And the biggest one that he said, in my opinion,

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: was just just about the question on Tyler Smith and

40
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: his availability for this week. He's going to have an

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: mri I today, but it sounds like they're pretty optimistic

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: based off of what he was able to do. And

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: how he was feeling as the day went on yesterday.

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: So as it stands right now, it doesn't seem like

45
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are concerned about his status for the first game.

46
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 4: But again, he's going to have the MRI, I, you know,

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: see how things are just officially to see what it

48
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: looks like. But as it stands right now, fingers crossed,

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith should be able to play. That's that's at

50
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: least what the hope is. Then we'll see what the

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: MRI reveals later on. But yeah, hamstring injury or at

52
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: least the setback hamstring tweak, you would say for Tyler

53
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: Smith who plays left guard, and Cowboys can't have any

54
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: issues when it comes to the offensive line because they

55
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: really don't have a lot of depth. And when I'm

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 4: looking at some questions here already on the text line,

57
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 4: and again we'll take questions on the text line. I'll

58
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: obviously take questions on the phone line. Last Friday show

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: was amazing. You guys were all over the place there

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: calling us. I think we counted sixteen phone calls there.

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: We went a little overtime to get those in. And

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: then this is you know, this is the time slot

63
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: here that we're hoping for ten am. We're still kind

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: of trying to see what Mike McCarthy's schedule on his

65
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: press conference is going to look like it might have

66
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: to tweak a little bit, but we're hoping for this

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: ten am timeslot. Phone call one eight eight five five

68
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: to nine seven eight one seven two nine zero three

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: two nine eight is the text line. We do have

70
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: some text questions. And like I was saying, the offensive

71
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: line seems to be where everyone's guess is concern and

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: and and I'm with you there. I mean that's where

73
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: the backup, the backup offensive linemen are. They don't have

74
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: a lot of depth there, and and this is a

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: position where you obviously need some depth. Jerry Jones did

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: say that this morning that every team in the league

77
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: is looking for offensive line depth. That's why you don't

78
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 4: see a lot of great linemen on the waiver wire.

79
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: Just go grab someone. It doesn't happen that way because

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: people aren't letting them go like that just because you

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: need offensive line depth, and the Cowboys certainly do. I

82
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: got a question here from uh, Actually, let's look at Pete.

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 4: He's from Marino Valley, California. So you think the front

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 4: office will make a trade for an offensive line player soon.

85
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: I don't know about making a trade. I mean I

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: think that they they're they're exploring all options here. Like

87
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: I said, though, who who's trading offensive lineman? Who's Who's said? Well,

88
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: we got a lot of tackles here, We got a

89
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 4: lot of guards and centers. It just doesn't happen very

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: often because everyone knows. The one thing you that that

91
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 4: you can really hurt your team is if you lose

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: depth on the offensive line. Go look at the Super

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: Bowl a couple of years ago, the Chiefs, uh I

94
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 4: guess it was Chiefs and and Bucks. You know, Tom

95
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: Brady was playing there, but it was really the defense

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: for the Bucks that won that game. And the Chiefs

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 4: had like three offensive line starters out and it just

98
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 4: changed their whole, you know, game plan on offense. So

99
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: that's the quickest way you can you can change the

100
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 4: course of your season is to lose players on the

101
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: offensive line and have some depth issues there. So that's

102
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: that's kind of where I think the Cowboys stand there

103
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 4: when it comes to the offensive line, and and and

104
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: they're gonna be looking for depth as it stands. Right now,

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: let's look at the depth you're gonna have. Assuming Tyler

106
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: Smith will will play this week, and that's that's what

107
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: again fingers crossed there that his hamstring injury will not

108
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 4: hurt him. There Tyler, Tyron Smith, left tackle, Tyler Smith,

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: left guard, Tyler Biattish center, say those that those three

110
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: really fast and then right guard Zach Martin, right tackle,

111
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: money bags McGee over there, Terrence Steele, which he did

112
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: his interview yesterday and about seventeen players walked by. You know,

113
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 4: show me the money. He must be the money money man,

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff, and which is great for

115
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: Terrence Steel. He's earned it. And I just I just

116
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: looked out of the of the window just to see

117
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 4: the empty practice field, just looking at an empty practice field.

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: But there's one guy out there jumping rope, Terren Steele.

119
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: I mean, just just right out there out there in

120
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: the heat, ready to go.

121
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 5: Ready.

122
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: But that's that's what the offensive line starters look like.

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: The backups awesome, Richards, Matt Will Let's go the center.

124
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: It could be the new guy that they have, Harlow

125
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: or brock Hoffman. I would lean towards Hoffman. He's been here,

126
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: understands the calls. Maybe a little bit better adoga. If

127
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: he's healthy, you know, I mean that he's he's not

128
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: on the injured you know, injury report will come out tomorrow,

129
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 4: but he has been injured, not to the point where

130
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: they wanted to keep him on IR. But that's your

131
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 4: that's your offensive line depth right now, and so stay

132
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 4: healthy starters. H That's that's kind of where the concern is.

133
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: All right, phone calls time. It's time for a phone

134
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,119
Speaker 4: call Conrod Texas. We've got Richard Richard.

135
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: What's up, hey, Nick, big fan, longtime listener.

136
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: Thank you, love the news show.

137
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: Appreciate that.

138
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: I know the concern is offensive line, but mine is

139
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 5: more the linebacker position after losing over shown. So is

140
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: it something that they address in free agency or do

141
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 5: you think this is Roles that curse and Marquis Bell

142
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 5: fill out. I'll hang up and let you answer. But man,

143
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 5: a big fan, I'm sure the brick misses you, but

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 5: I look forward to hearing your answer.

145
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: What well, thank you for the call. And I don't

146
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: know if they do, actually if they if they miss

147
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: me over there, because Patrick Walker is filled in nicely

148
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: and that he's uh, he's taking it to a different level. Too,

149
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: So I hear some some big conversations that they have

150
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: over there on the break, which most of the time

151
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: and it'll include today as well, but it seems like

152
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: the break will be following me. So I think I'm

153
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: squeezing in right in between talking cowboys and Cowboys break.

154
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: That's a good good spot to be in those two

155
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: shows right there. Another question that I had on that

156
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: linebacker depth was Chris from wichital Falls. He did a

157
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: text line question about he sees the problem offensive line,

158
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: but he's also concerned about the thin linebacker depth as well,

159
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: just like you, Richard. So going going to that that

160
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: that would be number two. I would think on the

161
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 4: on the list of concerns just from a depth standpoint.

162
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: But you kind of answer your own question just because

163
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: you know the way that I think dan Quinn will

164
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: play it. You know the linebackers you're gonna they're not

165
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: playing three linebackers on the field very often, if ever.

166
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: I mean, so you really don't need three. You don't

167
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 4: need three backups for that really playing two and if

168
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: and some of those times will be like you said, safety,

169
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 4: I think Marquispell is gonna get some spot sometime there.

170
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 4: I think Israel mccuamu will have a role. I loved

171
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 4: what he did in the playoff game against Tampa and

172
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: that was that was kind of a that was the

173
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 4: beauty of dan Quinn. I thought, I thought that that

174
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: game right there, because if you go back the week

175
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: before the Bucks game, that awful game in Washington where

176
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 4: they just weren't inspired at all, played horribly, got blown

177
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: out by a quarterback that's never played and you know,

178
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,239
Speaker 4: it just wasn't a great game. And mcquama was inactive

179
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 4: for that game. And then come okay, well mcwuama was inactive.

180
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: They're trying different things at corner. It's not working out.

181
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: And then but they knew all along what they were

182
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 4: going to do. They made him an active all of

183
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: a sudden. Next week against Tampa Bay, here's Israel mccuamu,

184
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: who's six foot five, he's got this wingspan of like

185
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: a nine foot wingspan. He's playing in the middle of

186
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: the field, and you know, I thought, I thought it

187
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: kind of disrupted what what Brady in the in the

188
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: Bucks we're thinking about on offense, on offense. So I

189
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: just feel like that they've got things like that up

190
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: their sleeve. It might be a week to week thing.

191
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: But they'll figure out how to how to get you know,

192
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: the nickel and diying packages, and they'll get some of

193
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 4: these safeties playing closer to the line of scrimmage, and

194
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: they'll they'll fix that linebacker position in my opinion that way.

195
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: All right, go back to the phone lines. Steve in

196
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: New York.

197
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: What's up, hey, Nick? Great show man, Thank.

198
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: You man, appreciate it.

199
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: Oh, just a quick question. I know everybody was, not everybody,

200
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: but a lot of people are okay with Zeke leaving.

201
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: But I've been asking this since that day. The tough yards,

202
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: the third down and short, fourth and short? Where where

203
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: do you see that coming from? Who's going to go

204
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: and you know, step in or do they alter maybe

205
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: what they do on situations like that? Yeah, because I

206
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: know everybody was kind of down on Zeke, But who

207
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: was better at getting those yards than he was?

208
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: Well?

209
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: What do you think, Steve? I mean, who?

210
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: Who?

211
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: Who would you give to fourth and one against the

212
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 4: Giants midfield, middle of the game. You know the offense

213
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 4: is going fourth and one, it's a long one.

214
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 5: What do you what are you doing?

215
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: I love Pollard, but I don't know if he's that guy,

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean as far as most cuff yards, obviously,

217
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: I think that he's going to be the guy. But

218
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if Zeke had a lot

219
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: of those plays where he made a positive out of

220
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: something that you know was probably going to be a loss,

221
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: and I just I'm just concerned where they're going to

222
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 2: get that from. Yeah, with the guys on the roster.

223
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 6: Well, you're not wrong.

224
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call. You're You're definitely not wrong there,

225
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: because you know, Zeke, one of the things that always

226
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: concerned me about letting him go is that when did

227
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: he when did he get stopped? Like when when did

228
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: he really get stopped for fourth and one or third

229
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 4: and one, third and two. I mean he got it

230
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 4: most of the time. He would get it and maybe

231
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 4: around the goal line, but he eventually would get in.

232
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 4: He scored twelve times last year. So you know, I'm

233
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 4: with you there. I think the guy that's gonna get

234
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: most of the fourth and ones or third in the

235
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 4: one the one yard, I think it's gonna be Dak.

236
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 4: I really do. And if you haven't, you know, if

237
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: you've done your Fantasy league whatever, I think Dak's gonna

238
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: probably score a lot of touchdowns running the ball. I

239
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: think that's gonna be what they do. I think that

240
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: it's a copycat league. I think until the NFL changes

241
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: the rule, I think people are gonna push quarterbacks in

242
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: the back like the Eagles were doing, and and and

243
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 4: and Jalen Hurts is a big, strong guy. But also,

244
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 4: you know, look look what they're doing, and that works.

245
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: I mean, that's almost unstoppable. I think Dak's gonna get

246
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: some of those carries. I think Pollard will get some.

247
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: You know, we'll see, you know, Rico Dwell just seems

248
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: like he's got a little bit more power, but but

249
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: not not a lot. Also not maybe not fourth and

250
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 4: one third one. But I do think you're gonna see

251
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 4: a little bit more receivers running the ball. Not saying

252
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: that's your short yard, it's fixed. But I do think

253
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 4: they're going to go side to side. I think they'll

254
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: see CD running. I think they'll see Turpin Cooks those guys.

255
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: But when it's time to really run the football and

256
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: get in there, I think Dak will do it. And

257
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna try and see what Pollar can do.

258
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: And who knows. Hunter Lipke might get a few snaps

259
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 4: in there as well. All right, before we take a break,

260
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: we're gonna go one more call. Here'll go back to

261
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: the phone line. Brian, Kansas City. What's up?

262
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 7: Hey, Good morning, Nick. How are you?

263
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: I'm great? Thank you.

264
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: Hey.

265
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 7: I got a couple of backup questions now that we're

266
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 7: getting into game week. So I'm not sure If Tyler

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 7: Smith is out, I'm not sure who goes in for him.

268
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 7: And you know, the other one I'm not sure about

269
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 7: is who's not so I think Jay Lou fills in

270
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 7: if Bland gets hurt. Who's the first up on the

271
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 7: boundary at corners. I'm just not sure who that is.

272
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 7: And I'll hang up and listen. Thanks, brother, Thank you.

273
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 4: Don't make me say it. It's early. It's still like

274
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 4: a Tuesday. It Benogay, Maybe I think that's I think

275
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 4: that's how you say his name. I've been working on it. Noah, Noah, Igby,

276
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: I Isy whatever. He's gonna have a nicknamegy. I think

277
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: that's right. I would see I would. I would probably

278
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: say he'll get in there. But but again, this this

279
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: first week, I don't see Jordan lewis being active. I

280
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: don't think he's ready yet to be active for this game.

281
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: So Deron Bland uh, like you said, will be like

282
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: the third corner, uh Igby. And then you know Eric

283
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 4: Scott might have to play because you you have uh

284
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: nay Shan Wright.

285
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

286
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: He's he's not on the roster as of right now.

287
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: The boot is off, but I I think they moved

288
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: him over to to I R to return. So as

289
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: it stands right now, I think Eric Scott or Igby, uh,

290
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: what would be the guys to come in there. And

291
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: then the first question you said about if Tyler Smith

292
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: doesn't play at guard man don't even go down that road.

293
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: I'm and that that that shuffles some some things around.

294
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 4: I think I think you would see brock Kaufman, he

295
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: would he would get in there at guard if Chu

296
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: Maidoga is not ready. So that's that's a good thing

297
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: to monitor. Let's look at the roster moves for this week,

298
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: and also we'll be able to see in practice on

299
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: what they can do, because sometimes roster moves will tell

300
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 4: you how a player is doing physically when they start

301
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: moving guys around or signing guys up from practice squad

302
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: and things like that. So let's see. Well, we'll monitor

303
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: that this week. A lot of it will determine from

304
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 4: the MRI today that Tyler Smith has all right, We're

305
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: gonna take our only break here on Cowboys storyline. Will

306
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: be right back for more calls and tweets.

307
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: Fall is here and that means football is back, bringing

308
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,360

Speaker 4: To Cowboys storylines, Welcome back to Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick

343
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: Keapman here. We got the second half of the show

344
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: and one of the questions we had. Actually, I'm pulling

345
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: this up from a couple of days ago. Pete from

346
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 4: California just had another question. He sent me a random one.

347
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 4: Here's a random player of the day to remember. And

348
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: I love this because I love just bringing back former guys.

349
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: He said, what about Scott Laidlaw Man. Now that that's

350
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 4: a blast from the past. That's like one of the

351
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: first years. That's like early eighties, late seventies, like a backup,

352
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 4: fullback type guy. He had long hair. I think he

353
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 4: played a lot of special teams. I have blocked a

354
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 4: couple of punts there. Scott Laidlaw cool name, but you know,

355
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: Dorset was the guy running the ball, so he didn't

356
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 4: get a lot of a lot of totes there. But

357
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 4: I love it. I love bringing back Usually I'll have

358
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 4: a story for you, especially if it's somebody I covered that.

359
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes these guys trigger different things. Oh that

360
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: was the guy that did this and this. But Scott

361
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: Laidlaw a little bit before my time. But I do

362
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 4: know number thirty five running back. All right, let's go

363
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 4: to the phone line. Allen from Montana. Allen, what's up, hey, Dick.

364
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 6: It's awesome. Good to hear than the show.

365
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 4: Who's your random player? You got a random player?

366
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: Oh?

367
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: Favor favorite player?

368
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 6: I always like when when I was a linebacker that win. Okay, yeah,

369
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 6: all right for sure. What's your question? My question is

370
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 6: always looking for comparisons and stuff where a football fans

371
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 6: were horrible they're doing this, but with the new offense,

372
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 6: are can we look at maybe something close to what

373
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 6: forty nine ers a couple of years ago over running

374
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 6: with their running backs and he's been throwing in some

375
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 6: Deebo Samuel.

376
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I mean who would be that guy?

377
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 6: Uh CD?

378
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 4: Who who do you want to run the ball and

379
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: do that with? Who do you think is the debo

380
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: like guy?

381
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 6: Yeah? And I don't know if we Probably the closest

382
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 6: comparison would be Tony Pollard.

383
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: But.

384
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 6: As far as on the wide receiver, I don't know

385
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 6: if we have a young guy that would yeah, close.

386
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: To That's that's a tough one. I mean, I appreciate

387
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: the call, and then I'll get our wheels in motion

388
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 4: there thinking about that. You know, Like I said earlier,

389
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: it is a copycat league, and you're always looking for that.

390
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: But you got to find a Deebo Samuel. I mean, like,

391
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: you got to find that guy like that. There's there's

392
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 4: not many receiver type guys that can run the ball

393
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 4: that way, and I think that's what it's got to be.

394
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 4: I think it's receivers that can run, maybe not so

395
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: much the running back that can play receiver and line

396
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 4: up and go down the field and catch the deep

397
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: ball and all that. I think if the Cowboys are

398
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: going to do that, and they sort of have a

399
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 4: little bit with uh with CD, they've run the ball

400
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: with him a little bit, but not a lot, and

401
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: that's not He's pretty tall, and I remember they they

402
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: are pitched against Washington and that press box is terrible.

403
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 4: You can't see anything in there. But it was coming

404
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 4: like right at as it was actually a good the

405
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 4: one good view we had, and he just got smashed

406
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: on the sideline and I was like, all right, enough

407
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 4: of that. Let him run routes like you know, it's

408
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 4: not a back. He'll do it occasionally and that's good,

409
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 4: but I think for the most part, you need a

410
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: guy a little bit shorter, stockier, you know, maybe Brandon Cooks,

411
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: but he's really he's kind of he's kind of you know,

412
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 4: fin and you know for his body frame. So I think,

413
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 4: if you can do it, great, But again, there's not

414
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 4: a lot of Deebo Samuels out there. And his first

415
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 4: comment about that win, yeah, that went a What a

416
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 4: fun player he was to cover and kind of a

417
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 4: funny story about him. I hadn't seen him in about

418
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: fifteen years. I had not seen that win. By fifteen years.

419
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 4: We did an interview with him, just like back in July,

420
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 4: and he came up here. We did an interview, we

421
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 4: put some stuff with him. We're gonna work on a

422
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 4: project with him maybe later on down the road. And

423
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 4: then two days later, I amout a Ranger game, a

424
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: foul ball comes right next to us. I almost got it,

425
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 4: didn't get it. They gave it to this kid next

426
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 4: door that went that wind like sitting right right next

427
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 4: to me. So it's kind of funny. You see a

428
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: guy twice and in a couple of days, hadn't seen

429
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 4: him in fifteen years. But he's looking great, uh and

430
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: doing really really well for himself, just business adventures and

431
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 4: stuff like that. All right, let's go back to the

432
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 4: text line here skip from Virginia. You're right, skip because

433
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 4: I skipped the player on a player that would probably

434
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 4: fill in here, even though it was so weird because

435
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 4: one of my favorite players on this team rookie free

436
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 4: agents is TJ. Bass, and I just kind of skipped

437
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 4: over him. I apologize for that. TJ. Bass would factor

438
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 4: into this backup line. Maybe start, maybe start at left guard.

439
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 4: I say that because it's like a little bit. I mean,

440
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 4: anytime you're going in the Meadowlands week one, you got

441
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 4: you know, a rookie guard. But hey, it happened last

442
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 4: you know, last year week one. I mean you had

443
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith. Now he was a first round pick, but

444
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 4: but he was playing left tackle. It hadn't done it

445
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: a lot, and he played well. So yeah, I mean

446
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 4: it's gonna have to be somebody like that. You know,

447
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: you do have two rookies backing up and Austin Richards

448
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: and then uh t J. Bass, and so you know

449
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 4: it's it'll you hope that not go that that route.

450
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 4: And then again, like I've said it three times already,

451
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: we we'll see on what the status is for for

452
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: the left guard or Tyler Smith, and he'll have a

453
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: hamstring injury that he has this week. This today, he'll

454
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: have the MRI today. We'll see what his status is there,

455
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 4: all right, looking for some more questions here. This is

456
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: a five oh five area code. Didn't put a name there,

457
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: but still talking about Dexter Lawrence from the Giants. Other

458
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 4: than neutralizing him. What's the biggest thing to worry about

459
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 4: with the Giants defense? That is the biggest thing to

460
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: worry about it. So you want to you know, you

461
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 4: start there, and you start and that's always you know,

462
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 4: in the middle, there in the trenches. That's kind of

463
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 4: where where it all originates. And and especially when you're

464
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 4: looking at potentially you know, changes at left guard if

465
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: if if if Tyler Smith can't play. So it doesn't

466
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 4: it doesn't branch out too much more than that. I

467
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 4: mean they they they've got some some some cornerbacks there

468
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: you know that that have played and and they're you know,

469
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 4: they they they've got talent. The Giants, they're a scrappy team.

470
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 4: I think what they do is they they rally to

471
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 4: the football well, and that's that's kind of what they're

472
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 4: their coach preaches. I mean, they are a tough football team,

473
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 4: but they they have to prove to me that that

474
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 4: they've gotten better from from last year, because the Cowboys

475
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: wore a better football team than the Giants easily they

476
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: But I give New York credit for staying in those

477
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 4: games because I remember in the first game up in

478
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 4: the Meadowlands, the Giants actually had the lead on a

479
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 4: touchdown run by by Saquan and you're thinking, like, how

480
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: is this happening? Like Dallas is a better football team.

481
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: They're just they're just shooting themselves in the foot and

482
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 4: they're dropping passes, their penalties. And then once they kind

483
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: of got it going, you know, they took over and

484
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: won that game. And then Thanksgiving they were way better.

485
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 4: They had a big lead, and then they let the

486
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 4: Giants kind of score late, made it look a little

487
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: closer than it was, but it really wasn't. I think

488
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 4: in those two games, Dallas was clearly better than the Giants.

489
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: Let's see if things have changed this year. We're gonna

490
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 4: about to find out here in six days. But going

491
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 4: back to that game, I think whenever the CD LAMB

492
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: documentary or Football Life or whatever, you know, Deep Blue,

493
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 4: whatever we ended up doing with Ceedee Lamb, I think

494
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: it's gonna come back to that Giants game in Week three.

495
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: I think that is the game that propelled him for

496
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 4: being that guy. He was, you know, number one receiver.

497
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 4: This is his first year doing it. First two games,

498
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 4: you know, with Dad getting hurt and Cooper rush, he

499
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 4: hasn't really elevated himself yet to that spot. And then

500
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 4: he goes to you know, Sunday Night football, drops a

501
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 4: pass over the middle, was wide open. It could have

502
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: been a touchdown, Like, what's wrong with this guy? And

503
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 4: then it just you can tell he just got he

504
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 4: was pissed, you know, and he started making catches and

505
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 4: he was trying to run over people and you know

506
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: he doesn't have the body to do that, but he's trying.

507
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 4: He makes a great touchdown, one handed catch, and he

508
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 4: became that guy in the game that that game had

509
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 4: started poorly, it had ended well, and it just ignited

510
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 4: him to the rest of the season. You know, he

511
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 4: was a second team All Pro last year and it

512
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 4: was I think it all came down to that game

513
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: right there. So all right, looking for some more more

514
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 4: questions here, Uh, We've got one from Jay hen which

515
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 4: taw Kansas. He says, how dangerous do you think a

516
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: NASCAR pass rush package would be how often do you say,

517
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 4: do you see DQ deploying such a package with all

518
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 4: the pass rushers that they've got, So they do have

519
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: some rushers and and and a lot of that. I

520
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: think the reason why people think that maybe Mike should

521
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 4: move to linebacker some is just because it's why don't

522
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: why don't we just get our rushers on the field,

523
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: the Sam Williams and the Dante Fowlers and Durrance and

524
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 4: and and tanks and then and then we can have

525
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: Micah linebacker and all that stuff. But which I hear you,

526
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 4: but I do think that that Mica needs to be

527
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: rushing the passer, probably from the edge. That's what he's

528
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: that's what he's great at. So as long as he's

529
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: doing that for the most part, I'm okay switching it

530
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 4: around now and again before he needs to be getting

531
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 4: after the quarterback, flip sides, sometimes over the center, whatever

532
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 4: whatever he needs. But I I I definitely think that

533
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 4: he needs to to be a guy that that rushes

534
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 4: all over the field. And then you know, if you

535
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 4: play some linebacker, great. I think Demone Clark's gonna have

536
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 4: a really good season. I think he might be one

537
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 4: of those those wild cards to really put this this

538
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: defense over the top this year. I think I think

539
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 4: Gilmore the addition of him that will help with Bland

540
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 4: and of course Digs, but I think Gilmour d'mon Clark,

541
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: and you know, I still think Mazzie Smith is going

542
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: to help this defense a lot because strength to strength

543
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: and he'll he'll figure it out. He's gonna get good coaching.

544
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 4: He's gonna you know, and I'm not saying he's he's struggling,

545
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: but he hasn't had that huge impact that you expect

546
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: so far. He hasn't had the opportunity just yet. These

547
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: preseason games he's played some he's not playing with with

548
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: you know, put Micah next to him and see if

549
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: he if his rush is a little better. Let's see

550
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: if he does a better job inside. I mean these

551
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: defensive tackles. He need the outside guys just like the

552
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 4: outside guys need the defensive tackles as well. All right,

553
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 4: let's look at George from Orange City, Florida. So I

554
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 4: know it's early and not on the radar, how do

555
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: you see how do you see the Digs versus Diggs

556
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 4: match up if they meet what what do you what

557
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 4: are you saying here? What we wear his digs, gonna

558
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 4: play digs? I'm kidding, we do play what is that

559
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: late December? They're gonna they're gonna face each other. Then

560
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: they're gonna face each other a couple of times, maybe

561
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: in the Pro Bowl again, maybe in another game, you know,

562
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 4: if if the Cowboys and Bills were to ever do that.

563
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 4: But they do play mid December up there in Buffalo,

564
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: and it will be cold, and it'll be I'll say

565
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun, but probably won't be.

566
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: It's not.

567
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 4: It's not a great trip. But it should be a

568
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: good game though. I mean, that would be a good

569
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: test because both teams will probably be fighting for for

570
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 4: some kind of you know, playoff implications. You know, there's

571
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: two guys that know each other well, they work out

572
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: with each other in the offseason. So I think that

573
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 4: that it'll that'll be a fun matchup. I'm not sure

574
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: if it's a you know, now, the Trayvon will probably

575
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: want to follow him all over the field. I don't

576
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 4: think you do that all the time. I think it

577
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: probably hurts your defense if you do that all the time,

578
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: because you don't want to let people know what you're doing,

579
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: what coverages you're running, and things like that, so you know,

580
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: you we've seen him do that. We've seeing him go

581
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: after Washington's Terry McLaurin, and he'll follow him, but not

582
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: maybe for the entire game. But I think it'd be

583
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: a great matchup because they know each other well and

584
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 4: you know, you don't have to do a lot of

585
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 4: studying for for for that game. You have to study

586
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 4: with the with the offense, with the Bills offense is doing.

587
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: But but I think that you know, from a from

588
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 4: a quickness standpoint, now Diggs likes the stuff on, likes

589
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: to line up in the slots some as well, so

590
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 4: that that might change what the Cowboys are doing. You know,

591
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 4: they have better slot corners I think than Trayvon, but

592
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: you know that they'll go after It'll be fun. Of course,

593
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: throwing the ball in mid December and Buffalo won't always

594
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: be the easiest thing in the world. So that's gonna

595
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: be one where you definitely got to get your running

596
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: game going. But that's not the game in New York

597
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 4: that we're really talking about. That that's down the road.

598
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 4: They do go to New York a little earlier than

599
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: that like in five days and Saturday will be heading

600
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: up there to uh take on the giants in the meadowlands,

601
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 4: and that's certainly gonna be a fun one. It's not

602
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 4: the first time the cowvers and Giants have squared off

603
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 4: in week one, but it's the next time and that's

604
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 4: the one we're all excited about.

605
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: All right.

606
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: I think that'll do it for today's show. Quick, quick,

607
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: and easy. That's why it's gonna be Stay tuned to

608
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 4: our schedule to see if our time slot changes. I

609
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: think it's still gonna gonna stay at ten o'clock for

610
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: this week, and then we'll see what it looks like.

611
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: Maybe ten fifteen, ten thirty. We'll see what McCarthy does

612
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: with his press conference. But it's gonna be in this

613
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,880
