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

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 3: This he's Cowboys storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 4: What is up at this time for Cowboys storyline? It's

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 4: wins the December twenty seventh. I am Nick Eatman here

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 4: and let's do this. Let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 4: and what's going on with the Cowboys in the playoffs

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 4: and what do they need to do? And how confident

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: do you feel? And all this good stuff. Can they

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 4: get their mojo back at home? Can they beat the

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 4: Lions team that is certainly not the Lions team that

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 4: we've seen in recent years. It's gonna be a tough,

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 4: physical game. Wouldn't expect anything else, anything less from Dan

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 4: Campbell and that group. And they got a lot of

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 4: they got a lot of good coaches over there that

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: have got that team playing well. But obviously the Cowboys,

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: we've seen it. We know they play differently at home

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: and the results are different obviously at home as well.

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: So all right, December twenty seventh, I'll give a shout

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: out to my best friend Chris Fisher his birthday. He

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: is it's the best dude. I know, there's no doubt

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 4: about it, no other way to say it. He's the best,

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: He's not. He's my favorite Chris of all time. I

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: muted and I'm muted to see Kelich. He's not my

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: favorite Chris of all time. He's just one of my

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: favorites from college. Anyways, Speaking of Chris, we got another

28
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 4: one online. We're gonna get right to the lines here,

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: Chris and Mississippi will start us off here. Chris, what's up?

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 6: How you doing?

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 7: Mack?

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: I'm great. You're my favorite Chris on the air right now.

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 6: I don't know if I will be after this call. Man,

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 6: When you talk about confidence level, I was at Ken

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 6: earlier this year when I called and you had Woody own,

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 6: and I think I'm more like a two now. I just, man,

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 6: it goes from the top all the way to the bottom.

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: Dude, roller coaster.

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I just don't understand. What I'm saying. Is like,

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy, why do you wait till this game to

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 6: pull out Hunter Lynton? I mean, you've had all these

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 6: other games you could have used this.

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 7: Man in And.

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: Is that a good or bet thing?

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I like what I liked the concept but

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 6: the execution and the fact that they haven't been doing

48
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 6: it all year and it's unfamiliar to the quarterback and

49
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 6: to the running back. I just don't think it was

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 6: a good time to do it.

51
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: But if he scores a touchdown, what do you say?

52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: Do you say? Wow, they waited all year long and

53
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: they put this and pulled this out of his bag.

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: Great job.

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 6: Okay, Well how about this, Nick. This is two games

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 6: this year, this one in the Philly game, and if

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 6: he had done what he had been doing earlier in

58
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 6: the season and kicking field goals, we would have won

59
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 6: the game anyway.

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: So when when did he not kick a field goal

61
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: this game?

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 6: He could have kicked a field goal to that one

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 6: that was a fourth down. Place should have just kicked

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 6: the field goal. We'red have won the game. What wouldn't

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 6: have fumbled?

66
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: That was first and goal. That was first and goal

67
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: from the one.

68
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 6: Well, that was first and goal. I thought it was

69
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 6: fourth and.

70
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: Goal, first and goal from the one. Got plenty of

71
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: chances here, plenty of chances to score because Polar didn't

72
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: get in.

73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, they had converted a fourth down with Hunter Linky

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 6: earlier when I thought they should have kicked the field goal.

75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 6: That's what it was. But anyway, I mean, I just think.

76
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

77
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 6: I'm just frustrating, I guess. And since I was eleven

78
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 6: years old, we've been had this good of a.

79
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 8: Team, I believe.

80
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 6: And I mean the other thing is is that Michael Parsons.

81
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't like complaining about the refs. The

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 6: refs are awful. I don't know the sixth for it.

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 6: I guess you just make them full time employees. But

84
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 6: they're awful.

85
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: And he but you don't like complaining about them. I

86
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: love that.

87
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 7: No, I don't.

88
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: I don't like.

89
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 6: I don't like the fact that Mike is complaining and

90
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 6: trying to be act like he's the best defensive player

91
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 6: in the league or on our team, because honestly, the

92
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 6: most consistent player on defense on our team is Tank

93
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 6: Lawrence and has been for years, and in my opinion,

94
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 6: he plays everything. He plays the run. He played pass rushes,

95
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 6: and I think that's the problem with our deep with

96
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: our run defense. Everybody wants to pass rush. They don't

97
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 6: want to stop the run. Micah included in that this

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: game he did do a little better job, but he

99
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 6: of pursuing the run and trying to stop it. But

100
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 6: this is the first game all year I've seen him

101
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 6: do that. Yeah, and I don't know want it? Like,

102
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 6: how hard is it for them to tell him, Hey, man,

103
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 6: act throw your hands up when they're holding, when they

104
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 6: got you in a chokehold, throw your hands up and

105
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 6: fall on the ground. I mean that's a ten yard

106
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 6: tennerty right there. I mean they're not calling it, so

107
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 6: why don't you just try it?

108
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 9: I mean, try something different.

109
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 6: It's just frustration on all and Nick, I don't know

110
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 6: if it's gonna get any better. I really don't, That's

111
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 6: what That's what hurts me.

112
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: I don't either. I don't know if it's going to

113
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: get better either.

114
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 6: He let me ask you a question. What would you

115
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 6: give for a What would you give for a run

116
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 6: stopping linebacker?

117
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 8: Right now?

118
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 4: I mean, I that's a tough question. I'd like to

119
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: have one. I'd like to have one, but I don't

120
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: know what do you give? And how old is he?

121
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: Does he have a contract next year? Is are you

122
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: going to keep him on the team? That's kind of

123
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: he can't trade it. He can't trade anything right now,

124
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: so you know you're not gonna give much for a

125
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: run stopping linebacker, because that means he's on the street

126
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: and he's probably not not that good, so not a

127
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: whole lot. But but I know what you're saying, it's

128
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 4: a big need. It's a big need. What you're really

129
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: asking is what what position do you think that they

130
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: really need to fix? And I think it's a linebacker.

131
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 4: So you're right, you're right on that.

132
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 6: Uh.

133
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 4: I didn't agree with some of the other stuff. But

134
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 4: I mean you basically just you just described to football,

135
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: just the NFL. That's what it is. You were you

136
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: were out of ten, now you're out of two. You

137
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: could be at at eight next next Saturday night. If

138
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: the Cowboys beat the Lions, you know, which there's still

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 4: gonna be a frustration of like, well, nice win, but

140
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: they you know, can't do it on the road, or

141
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: they have to show they can do it on the

142
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: road and all that. But again, as I said yesterday,

143
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: nobody's worried about your confidence. No one's worried about my confidence.

144
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 4: Our confidence doesn't matter here, it really doesn't. So because

145
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 4: they are all these things that we want, and you know,

146
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: you're going off of what you see. But you know,

147
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: at the end of the day. They have to figure

148
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 4: it out themselves. They have to figure out what they

149
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 4: can do. And I think Jonathan Hankins's injury, I mean

150
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: that right there is is becoming one of the biggest

151
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: He's one of the most valuable players on the team.

152
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: And if you don't believe so, just look it back

153
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: the last two years. Every time he goes out, they struggle,

154
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 4: and when he comes back in they play back better.

155
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 4: So I mean, get better Hankins.

156
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 10: All right, Michael, And for a fact check for you,

157
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 10: for Looky's both runs were on third and one, by

158
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 10: the way, just fact check.

159
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: Third and one third one from the earlier in the

160
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: game he's talking about. He's talking about for he's talking

161
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 4: about first down.

162
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, he says when they ran them earlier in the

163
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 11: game on fourth down, the only fourth they were got

164
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 11: the fourth and two.

165
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 6: And Dack through it to Ferguson, those are the only

166
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 6: only time they got the fourth downright.

167
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: He touched the ball, thanks Chris. He touched the ball

168
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: three times, well three times on that drive. He touched

169
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: it three times. He caught the ball once and he

170
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 4: had two runs. Uh he was about to get it

171
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: into the fourth time. He Uh, he didn't get the ball.

172
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: I mean, that's simple as that.

173
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: He didn't.

174
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: He didn't get the ball, and I think it sounds

175
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: like there was miscommunication on the play, on the play,

176
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: on what the actual play was. So yeah, you can

177
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: you can fault the Cowboys for doing that first, for

178
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: putting him in the game. He'd already got in a

179
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: couple of times. But in that play right there on

180
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: first and goal from the one, it sounded like him

181
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: and Dak thought I thought it was two different plays.

182
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: And so that's that's bad. I mean, but but you know,

183
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: those other guys have got to score when they have

184
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: a chance. I mean, I'm more I'm more upset with

185
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: the Pollard play, honestly. I Mean, I just can't imagine

186
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: a running back that didn't get in the end zone

187
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 4: on that play with that much space, that much room,

188
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: and and you need that much to go. I mean,

189
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: you basically have to be picked up and thrown down

190
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: to the ground to not score there, which what happened.

191
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: Michael Colton, California, what's going on?

192
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 5: Nick?

193
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 11: Christmas and the whole Cowboys nations? I'm doing good Mert

194
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 11: Christmas to you, the whole Cowboys nation, and a happy

195
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 11: New Year to everybody. Anyways, with that being said, hey, man,

196
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 11: that was a disappointing loss. But hey, you know what,

197
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 11: it's been a while since we lost two back to back,

198
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 11: and you can't win them all. You know, one play,

199
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 11: they were a couple of plays from going either way,

200
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 11: you know, one we would have been sitting here talking

201
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 11: about was a great victory and listen to that. But anyways, Hey,

202
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 11: there was a caller that the other day. He pulls

203
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 11: the question. It was a very good one, you know,

204
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 11: and I said, I thought about it. He said, you know,

205
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 11: who are we afraid of? You know, in the playoffs?

206
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 11: But once we hit the playoffs, you know who who

207
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 11: afraid of?

208
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 9: You know?

209
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 11: And I thought about it. I was like, man, this guy's right,

210
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 11: you know. But then as I thought about it, maybe

211
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 11: I overthought it, you know, but I was like, man,

212
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 11: you know what, you know who I'm afraid of. I'm

213
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 11: afraid of the Dallas Cowboys. At the end of the day,

214
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 11: I'm afraid we're gonna shoot ourselves in the foot like

215
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 11: we always do, you know. And you know, Prescott, you know, man,

216
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 11: I'm really pulling for the guy.

217
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 7: I don't mean to.

218
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 11: See here and knock them all the time. But I'm

219
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 11: just you know, I can't help. But what I see,

220
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 11: you know, like Parcels says, you are what you are,

221
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 11: especially at.

222
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 7: This point in his career, what is he?

223
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: What is he?

224
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 7: I mean, in my eyes, he's.

225
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 11: A great stat guy. You know, he puts up numbers.

226
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 11: But I mean, like I told you before, and and Nick,

227
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 11: you know, please correct me if I'm wrong, But it

228
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 11: seems like in the big games you can see it

229
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 11: in his eyes. It's like it's like the lights around

230
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 11: nobody's home, you know.

231
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: And no, I do not know. I do not know

232
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 4: on that way, I'm gonna say no. So you said,

233
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna say no, I do not know that.

234
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: I did not know that nobody's home. To me, the baller,

235
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 4: he is balling out. Watch the game the other day.

236
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 11: That was that that was a great you know, driving,

237
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 11: that was a great throw. You know what, Nick, I

238
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 11: need consistency, not flashes of being good. I need consistently consistency.

239
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 7: For him to be good that every time. Okay, And

240
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 7: another thing I just want to say real quick.

241
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 11: You know, the other day I made that comment about

242
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 11: Mike Tomlins, and I just want I'm not at all

243
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 11: calling for McCarthy's job. But I listened to all social

244
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 11: media platforms of Dallas Cowboys, and I'm under the impression

245
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 11: kind of, you know, from hearing everything else, is that

246
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 11: you know, if we didn't if we didn't get over

247
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 11: this hump, you know, go past, you know, we're first round,

248
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 11: second round like we always do that, you know that

249
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy would be gone. So I'm not at all

250
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 11: calling for the man's job, not at all know what

251
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 11: I'm saying. But but all I'm saying is if Tomin

252
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 11: was there, I would want him, you know.

253
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 7: But all right, I'll hang up and listen to have

254
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 7: a good one and happy.

255
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 6: New Year's everybody.

256
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: All right, thank you. It's just when you when you

257
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 4: do the I'm not calling for anyone's job, but yeah,

258
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: but you are. You know, when when you start talking

259
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: about that, I mean yeah, I mean imagine saying that

260
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 4: to you like your spouse. I'm not saying I want

261
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 4: anyone else, but if it did, it would be it

262
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 4: would be this person. Like good luck with that. So

263
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: now now we don't talk about other coaches right now

264
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 4: or anything like that. And we got a head coach.

265
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: He's got a team in the playoffs three years in

266
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: a row and trying to get trying to get them

267
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: where they want to go, and nothing's nothing's happened yet,

268
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: you know. I mean you can hear it in the

269
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: in the callers that it's like, okay, when this goes bad,

270
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 4: when they shoot themselves in the foot. I get it.

271
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: And you're going off of what you see, but what

272
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: you have seen but still got a lot to go.

273
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: I think this is you know, there's there's five or

274
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 4: six football teams in the NFL I think that can

275
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: win it all. I think the Cowboys are in that group.

276
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: They're one of the best teams. Uh, That's what I see.

277
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 4: They They do have some issues though, running the football,

278
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: have issues with penalties, they have issues with things that

279
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: that will plague them in games, especially you know when

280
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: you get into the playoffs, but you also are good

281
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 4: enough to be there and have a chance to beat anyone.

282
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: And that's something that not everybody can say. And I

283
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: think there's something, you know, that's something I like to

284
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 4: focus on for sure. Brian and Pennsylvania is our next caller.

285
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how are you doing today?

286
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 4: I'm good? What's up?

287
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 10: I just I think it's kind of funny. I've I've

288
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 10: called a few times, and I keep talking about how

289
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 10: I don't care really what happens. I only care about

290
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 10: the postseason, you know, uh, because it's really hard to

291
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 10: get not get wishy washy right and the Cowboys, because

292
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 10: they will play like an all star team one week

293
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 10: and the bad news beaers the next week.

294
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 4: You know, bad news the first of the movie or

295
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 4: at the end of the movie.

296
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 7: It depends on right, right, right, that's the.

297
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 4: Bad news bears. Well, yeah, we'll see.

298
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 10: But one thing I wanted to say is I think

299
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 10: we need to find these last few games. Don't worry

300
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 10: about playoffs and playoff pictures. Just worry about what we

301
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 10: can control inside and like, how can we how can

302
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 10: we improve our run defense? How can we get those

303
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 10: three and outs and get ahead because we play better ahead?

304
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 10: You know, how can we design a running scheme that's

305
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 10: more creative like the passing scheme that we've.

306
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 9: Done this year.

307
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 10: You know, it's almost like the offense is almost there,

308
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 10: but we haven't figured out how to adjust when they

309
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 10: take away what we want to do. But I also

310
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 10: think it's kind of funny when you're talking about the

311
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 10: coaches because you got you got ten wins.

312
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah in the playoffs.

313
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 10: What a week, two weeks ago, you can run the playoffs.

314
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 10: So it's like, I get it, we're all frustrated and

315
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 10: we want a super Bowl championship. But let's just let's

316
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 10: not act like they're they're nothing. You know, the problem

317
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 10: with the Cowboys is their consistency range is so wise.

318
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 10: They can either play at this super unbeatable level or

319
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 10: this incredibly beatable level. I think we just need to

320
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 10: narrow those gaps a little bit and raise that to

321
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 10: where our quality, you know, consistently is higher.

322
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

323
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 10: Well, as far as everything else, I think after the

324
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 10: season it is zero and zero. It is a new

325
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 10: it is a new league, you know what I mean

326
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 10: In the playoffs.

327
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: Of course, I mean and and and I think what

328
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: you described the Cowboys team, I bet you most teams

329
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: are the same way. I mean, there's there's a lot

330
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: of teams that that they've you know, there's some they're

331
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: good teams, but they have stretches as well, and the

332
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 4: Cowboys are in one right now. And we we knew

333
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: this was going to be a tough stretch. I mean,

334
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: we knew that Buffalo Miami back to back was going

335
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 4: to be tough. And you know, and then you put

336
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: Detroit around it, with Philly and Seattle. I mean, it's

337
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 4: testing this team, uh for sure. So uh you know,

338
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: I think I think, like I said, I think this

339
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 4: is a good, good football team. But most good football

340
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: teams don't go to the Super Bowl. So they're going

341
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: to have to figure out a way to turn it

342
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: on to be great. And and I and I know

343
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: that's what I'm hearing from you guys, especially today, is

344
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: that you know, you haven't seen you haven't seen what

345
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 4: it's going to take to go win, and which is

346
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: go beat a good road team. You know, we thought

347
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 4: we had seen that. And that's the thing about the NFL.

348
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: I mean, when you start the season with a forty

349
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 4: to nothing win over the Giants, you think, well, man,

350
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 4: they just crushed the playoff team on their own place

351
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 4: in the rain, forty to nothing. You know the Giants

352
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: are a good team. Well they're not. They're not. You

353
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: thought the Chargers beating them after the forty nine Ers

354
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: that was a good win, but they're not. They fired

355
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: their coach. So you know, it's it's been it's been

356
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 4: one of the you know, I didn't think the Bills

357
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: were that good, and then that now they're they're playing better,

358
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: and and and then you know, you lose to them.

359
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: So it's just this ebbs and flows of the season.

360
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it happens, and you know we'll though, I mean,

361
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 4: but it is. It is one of those things where

362
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: you gotta you have to focus on the now because

363
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 4: and the now does still affect the playoff picture. All right,

364
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 4: Gary in New Mexico, Hey, Nick, I.

365
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 8: Hope you're keeping receipts on all of these callers, because

366
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 8: I am not that that means anything, but I mean,

367
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 8: this is what we get. And I used to be

368
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 8: like this and hopefully I'm getting better. But after a

369
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 8: loss or a couple of losses, everybody's ready to fire

370
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 8: the coach. The play calling is horrible. Dak Prescott's no

371
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 8: good that this is ridiculous. Yeah, Dak Prescott's a good quarterback,

372
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 8: and Mike McCarthy's a good I mean, we want to

373
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 8: fire Mike McCarthy, to hire Mike Tomlin. We want to

374
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 8: bring in Bill Belichick, who's got a dumpster fire in

375
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 8: New England. This is really what people want. I mean,

376
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 8: appreciate what you got and realize the season is not over.

377
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 8: If you had a great article. You had a great

378
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 8: article on Dallas Cowboys dot com. If Hunter Lifkey doesn't

379
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 8: fumble that ball, well we probably win the game. I

380
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 8: mean if we don't turn it over there. And that's

381
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 8: not play calling, that's player executionatly. You know the play

382
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 8: you talked about with Tony Pollard, that's a great play call.

383
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 8: He's just got to get in the end zone.

384
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 9: You go back a week before to the Buffalo game.

385
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 8: Early in that Buffalo game, I think it was a

386
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 8: second play of the game, they took a deep shot

387
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 8: for Brandon Cooks. He was wide open. They just didn't

388
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 8: execute the play. Is that on the play caller? That

389
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 8: was a great play call. We just didn't execute it.

390
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 8: And that's just the way the NFL is. And you

391
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 8: work through these kinks and you figure this stuff out

392
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 8: in these games and you get better. I looked up

393
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 8: something yesterday just out of curiosity. I went back and

394
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 8: I looked up the twenty ten Green Bay Packers that

395
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 8: was McCarthy's Super Bowl team, and I found something interesting there.

396
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 8: When I was just looking at their scheduling results. He

397
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 8: lost two consecutive road games in December, and then he

398
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 8: finished the season winning their last two games, and then

399
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 8: they went on that Super Bowl run, which by the way,

400
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 8: they were a wildcard team. They won all those games

401
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 8: on the road, so christer, you can repeat it. So

402
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 8: I'm just I'm not saying they're winning the Super Bowl

403
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 8: or anything. I'm just saying the season's not over, of course,

404
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 8: and let's see what Let's see what happens. I feel

405
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 8: about it. Tell me how you feel about this, and then.

406
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 9: I'll get off the phone.

407
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 8: I feel about the Miami game kind of like how

408
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 8: I felt coming out of the Philadelphia game. Disappointed that

409
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 8: they lost. They probably could have won, maybe they should

410
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 8: have won, but I'm encouraged by the way they played

411
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 8: and their toughness, and that the drive that Dak Prescott

412
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 8: had at the end of the game really gave me encouragement.

413
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 8: I mean, right, they're good, they're good, They're close.

414
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: Just be patient.

415
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, thanks for the call, Gary, And I

416
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: agree with with what you're saying. And and I know

417
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 4: it's tough, it's tough for fans to get there, but

418
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 4: I agree with that. Now. The one difference I would

419
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 4: say about Philly is that the Philly game was the

420
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 4: first one. In Miami was the second one, and and

421
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 4: and the reason why that matters is that after the

422
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: first one, you're like, listen, tough game, had a chance

423
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: to win. Play like that down the stretch here against

424
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: some of these other games, and we'll win that game.

425
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 4: And that's what you're kind of waiting for, you know.

426
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 4: So then okay, you did it again to Miami and

427
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: then so like that, it's fine unless you finally are

428
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: going to get a win. You know, these games, these

429
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: moral victory types of games need to lead to real victories,

430
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 4: and so especially on the road. And so yes, it's

431
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: it's it's encouraging to say you can go into Miami,

432
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 4: go into Philly, play play like that, have a chance

433
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: to win, because you get in the playoffs, you're gonna

434
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 4: have have to, you know, make that play. But you

435
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 4: also need to be able to go back to something

436
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 4: in the regular season and say kind of like that

437
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: game when they win and they did it and and

438
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 4: they're not the Cowboys are not going to have a

439
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: win like that. They're not gonna have a winning record

440
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 4: on the road, and they're not going to have a

441
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: signature win on the road. Going into the playoffs because

442
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: Washington won't provide that for you, and so Carolina didn't

443
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: provide it. Chargers obviously didn't either, and neither did the Giants.

444
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 4: So if they do go into the playoffs at four

445
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 4: and five on the road, they're not going to have

446
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 4: that signature win to to lean on. But you know,

447
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 4: it is, it is what it is. I mean, take

448
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 4: care of business and get a little lucky your way

449
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 4: and maybe you don't have to go on the road,

450
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: you know. So all right, Travis and San Antonio's next caller, Nick.

451
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 12: What's going on?

452
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: Hey, Travis?

453
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, So I just I haven't heard the I know

454
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 12: you were talking about this yesterday about the win percentages

455
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 12: and whatnot. What you were talking about.

456
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,239
Speaker 4: I actually did it yesterday. It's not that it's not

457
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: that good. I mean it's not. It's not a it's

458
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: not a good stat Honestly, I thought it was, but

459
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: it isn't.

460
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 12: And I and I'm sure it's not. But I guess so,

461
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 12: like I said before, I still think like you said,

462
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 12: it's we use a we use a poker analogy all

463
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 12: the time, like it's chipping a chair. Right, if you're in,

464
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 12: if you're in you got a shot, if you got

465
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 12: a chip left, like play that chip and you just

466
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 12: see what happens. I'm still not I mean, are we perfect.

467
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 12: There's a team perfect? No, But you never know to

468
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 12: sit here and say that we know what's gonna happen. Like,

469
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 12: you know, someone could the Rams to upset the Eagles

470
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 12: and you may go to the you know, you may

471
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 12: go to Detroit instead of going to San Fran.

472
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 9: We have no idea.

473
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 12: You may beat San France for all we know. You know,

474
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 12: I don't think San Fran last year was expecting their

475
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 12: quarterback to get hurt, you know, in that Eagles game.

476
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 12: I don't think so. You know, we were There's a

477
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 12: lot of anxious people out there, and I just think,

478
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 12: you know, we just need to just once we're in,

479
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 12: we just need to see what happens. But I wanted

480
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 12: to hit a couple of things real quick and just

481
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 12: let you pick one to talk on. I watched the

482
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 12: like a lot of people, I'm sure watch the San

483
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 12: Francisco Baltimore game. I know you spoke about it yesterday.

484
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 12: I don't think any area I looked at on both

485
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 12: teams that that was that that was like they're clearly

486
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 12: better than us in this area except linebacker. Linebacker is

487
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 12: the one area to me that stands out when you

488
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 12: watch both those teams play, that stands with the most

489
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 12: to me. And I don't think Simon Clark. I don't know,

490
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 12: like you said yesterday, I don't know if it's the

491
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 12: neck injury. I don't know if he's still not over that,

492
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 12: but he doesn't seem to be as physical as he

493
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 12: was in college, and he is by far our biggest linebacker.

494
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 12: I think dan Quinn's I think dan Quinn's undersized. We're

495
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 12: smarter than you, and we can make it work. Has

496
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 12: a shelf life. I know Bell, I know Bells Bell,

497
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 12: and he he got forced into service. I think he's

498
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 12: gonna be like a good JK replacement. But I think

499
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 12: they definitely need a good true They need an actual

500
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 12: true thumper in the draft, or maybe too the compliment Overshown,

501
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 12: because I think Overshown is gonna be kind of our

502
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 12: Fred Warner, not saying he can't hit, but I think

503
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 12: he's gonna be more of the coverage guy. They need

504
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 12: to find that compliment and not the undersized. Well, this

505
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 12: is gonna be our you know, our do it all guy. No,

506
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 12: we need a you need amer someone's gonna set the

507
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 12: tone in the second level and help with that run

508
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 12: defense and Pollard. Last thing, and I'll let you go,

509
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 12: is that play that everyone's been talking about in at

510
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 12: the goal line. I think that kind of defines his season.

511
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 12: And what I mean by that is if when we

512
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 12: look at it, if he if he knew he had

513
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 12: that burst Nick, I think, yeah, he doesn't cut that

514
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 12: up like I think if he, if he looks at Elliott,

515
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 12: he goes, I can beat this dude to the corner

516
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 12: like no problem. He doesn't cut it up, And the

517
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 12: problem is he cuts it up. But I don't think

518
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 12: is he a tough guy. Absolutely, I'm not saying he's

519
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 12: not tough, but he doesn't have las. He lacks the

520
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 12: ass that z Ca had. And I don't think if

521
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 12: Zeke cuts that up, I don't think anybody is saying, like,

522
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 12: Zeke is stopped by Elliott there. So I just want

523
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 12: to see what you thought by that. And it also

524
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 12: kind of shows like his vision hasn't been there because

525
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 12: that's that was not the play. So I just want

526
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 12: to see what you thought about that. Have a great

527
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 12: week and I'll talk next week.

528
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 4: I mean it's one of those things where if you

529
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 4: put your foot in the ground like you're cutting it

530
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: up and then and then you bounce to the to

531
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 4: the corner. You're right. You should you should be able

532
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 4: to win it. You should be able to win that

533
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 4: and at least get an angle to kind of dive in.

534
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 7: Uh.

535
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: I looked at that play a couple of times, just

536
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: you know, and it's easier to do when it's slow motion.

537
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 4: And you should have done this, should have done that.

538
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, your your vision and instincts and and is

539
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: what you want, you know, from a running back, and

540
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 4: you know you need that. You need you need power,

541
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 4: you need first, you need to be able to cut back,

542
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 4: you need to have the vision, acceleration, all those things

543
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 4: that you need just about on every single play. And

544
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 4: and he didn't have it on that one cost him

545
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: that that cost him the game. But you know, he

546
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 4: got a first down, and so you're thinking first and

547
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: goal from the one, Well, and what's the worst that

548
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 4: can happen. Well, he handed the ball to lip Key

549
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 4: and and he doesn't he doesn't get the football. He

550
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 4: just doesn't get it. And so uh and he didn't

551
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: get it again. The rest of the game, and you

552
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 4: wonder what what kind of least he's going to have

553
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: on that. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I mean

554
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 4: didn't he didn't get it again and they were down

555
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 4: for first and go from the one, and then they

556
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 4: decide to, you know, run that play where they'd say,

557
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 4: who's the best pass rusher? This guy, Okay, let's unblock him,

558
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 4: and he got a ten yard sack, but it actually

559
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 4: helped him because they were able to get, you know,

560
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: throw it in there linebacker. I agree, we got to

561
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: get we got to see that. We're gonna have to

562
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: see some some improvement at linebacker next year. And you know,

563
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: it's hard, it's it's hard to go into all that

564
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: what they're gonna do, what kind of scheme, because you know,

565
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 4: the end of the year is gonna come and people

566
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 4: are gonna look at other head coaches and is dan

567
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: Quinn gonna be on that list? And is he gonna

568
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 4: is he gonna take another job? I don't know, I

569
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 4: don't know what what you know, who the coordinator is.

570
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's that you have to factor

571
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 4: that in. And because it's too early to factor that in,

572
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 4: it's too early. The factor in what are they gonna

573
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: do and all that kind of stuff, all right, Anthony

574
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 4: and Columbia, South Carolina Anthony, Yeah, Anthony, how you doing,

575
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 4: I'm doing?

576
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: How you doing today? And good?

577
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 4: What's up?

578
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 3: Hey man? A man, I'm I'm just gonna make it quick. Man.

579
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be, you know, a cowboy. You know,

580
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: I'm been a cowboy for probably forty years. I'm a

581
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: fifty nine year old man. And for what I can

582
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: see with the Dallas Cowboys, man, they just don't have

583
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: the personnel man to go deep in the playoffs this year.

584
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: They're hurting at lineback, Earth, they're hurting in the back,

585
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: you know, and some running back. We just to me,

586
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: we just don't have the personnaeil man. They're going to

587
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: have to They're going to have to draft some guys

588
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: man to fill in those spots. Matter right now, I

589
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: just don't see it beat nobody in the playoffs. Man.

590
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: I think they're wanted done. And with that, man, you know,

591
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 3: that's that's all I got to say. I'll just hang

592
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: up and listen, all right.

593
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 4: I don't agree, but I mean, they they need more,

594
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: you know, playmakers. There's no doubt about it. I don't

595
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 4: think there'll be one and done. I think they're going

596
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 4: to be the best team when they when they face uh,

597
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: you know, when they when they play whoever they play.

598
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: If they're the five seed or the two seed, I

599
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: think they're going to be the best team on the field.

600
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 4: If they're the two seed, uh, you know, they they

601
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 4: should win the game, you know, five if you go

602
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 4: to Tampa, you go to the Saints or Falcons or

603
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: who knows well what happens with them. But yeah, I

604
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: mean I still think that they have a chance to

605
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 4: win that game. And then they should win. Honestly, they

606
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: should win their first game because they're they're going to

607
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: be a better team in my opinion, and then from there,

608
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: you know, if you can get to the divisional round,

609
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 4: and then who knows if you're at the one seed

610
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 4: or the two or who knows. You know, it's just

611
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: a weird league. It's a strange.

612
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 9: You know.

613
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: You get the Rams that are playing good football right now,

614
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 4: and the Rams are probably going to be a six

615
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: or seven. You know, what do they do you know?

616
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 4: Or do they go beat somebody? So who knows? I

617
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 4: don't I think that they you're right, running back linebacker. Yeah,

618
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 4: those are those are positions that you you definitely need,

619
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 4: you know, in the playoffs because it comes down to

620
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 4: running the ball and stop in the run. Those are

621
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 4: two things that you really need to do when you

622
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 4: go up against a team like the forty nine ers,

623
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 4: your linebackers have got to play well, same with your

624
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: running backs. And so yeah, there's some there's some holes there.

625
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 4: But can they go beat a team when, you know,

626
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 4: win a game. That's the thing that that always kind

627
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 4: of confuses me here. And we got negative calls today

628
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: and that's great, but I mean, the kid misses the

629
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 4: field goal. Okay, somehow Christmas miracle twenty nine yarder hits

630
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 4: the post and he misses. Are they a better team

631
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 4: now than they were because they there would be eleven

632
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 4: and four? I mean, do they have the same issues?

633
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: Those offense never touched the football again after they scored

634
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 4: a touchdown. My point is is that it's it's just

635
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: it's close there. I don't think we would have negative

636
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: calls today had they missed a field goal. It had

637
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: nothing to do with them. So that's that's all I'm saying,

638
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: is is that they're there, They're right here. You sure, sure?

639
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: We'd love for them to be better, but they're good

640
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: enough to compete, and when you compete in the playoffs,

641
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 4: you have a chance. That's all i'm gonna say. If

642
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: you guys want to go and start talking draft, that's fine.

643
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 4: We got shows for that. We'll get to the draft show.

644
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 4: We got people on here that are already studying for

645
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 4: whatever reason they they are studying that. And if y'all

646
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: want to talk draft, you can talk draft. I'd rather

647
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: talk about the Lions and talk about the games they

648
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 4: got coming up here. That's me because I still think

649
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 4: this stuff matters. April May June. Everyone's thirsting for football,

650
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 4: you know, USFL XFL. That doesn't cut it unless you're

651
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: gonna get a kicker that you're gonna make in turn

652
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 4: all Pro. Yeah, then I'm interested, But that doesn't cut it.

653
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 4: We wait so long to get here, and now we

654
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: get here and we're gonna talk about the draft, not me,

655
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 4: not on this show. So all right, Rob in Vegas

656
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 4: can't wait? Rob, what do you got?

657
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 9: You know?

658
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 13: I love the show because I love the fans, I.

659
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 6: Love the callers.

660
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: Yep.

661
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 13: But what I'm hearing, I'm a little confused. Of course,

662
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 13: we're happy the Cowboys are going to the playoffs. We're

663
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 13: obviously big fans. We call in so we listen to

664
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 13: the show. But you gotta be realistic. It's not that

665
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 13: when I call in it, it's not that I'm saying

666
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 13: they can't win. Of course they can win. Once you

667
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 13: get in the tournament, you don't know what's going to happen, right,

668
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 13: But I penciled you know, if you told me this

669
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 13: team is going to have a top five quarterback, wide receiver,

670
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 13: a defense at one point in time, play these god

671
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 13: awful teams like the Giants in Carolina, and still we

672
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 13: cannot beat anybody on the road. We still lead the

673
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 13: league in penalties. We still can't stop the run and

674
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 13: we can't run. So you looked to the future and

675
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 13: you say to yourself, Okay, what is it going to

676
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 13: take to win in the playoffs, And it's those things. Unfortunately,

677
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 13: you don't usually play forty thirty five type games in

678
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 13: the playoffs. They're tight, and we see when this team

679
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 13: is playing in the playoffs, they get tight and they

680
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 13: get tighter on the road. So I say to myself, ah,

681
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 13: this is gonna suck.

682
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 9: Yeah.

683
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 13: Could we beat maybe Campa Bay? Yeah, probably or maybe

684
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 13: the Saints, but you got to go to Philly. You

685
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 13: can't be confident for it. I know we beat Philly,

686
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 13: we match up God, but it's a different animal in

687
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 13: Philly playoffs. You know, we get penalties at the worst time.

688
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 13: We're not stopping the run anytime this year if the

689
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 13: other team wants to really run it. We just don't

690
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 13: have the physicality. We have nobody big that plays lid night,

691
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 13: so we can't. The only hope is you get a lead,

692
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 13: like we've played Detroit. We have to get a lead

693
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 13: and force Jared Goff to try to beat us that.

694
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 9: I like our.

695
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 13: Chances, but we cannot fix that. We cannot fix the penalties.

696
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 13: We haven't fixed it in years, so you can't expect

697
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 13: that that's going to be fixed. We can't fix Tyron Smith.

698
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 13: You know, he holds his hostage every year. As great

699
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 13: as he is when he's on the field, you just

700
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 13: don't know. So you can't fix those issues. So as fans, yes,

701
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 13: you're you're gonna get I had to you just had

702
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 13: to call that and said be patient.

703
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 9: Be patient.

704
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 13: Thirty years with playoffs is great, but the playoffs is

705
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 13: only great if you keep taking another step. The beauty

706
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 13: of the nineties was you saw them, it's got a

707
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 13: little better, got a little better, and then boom we

708
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 13: we Okay, twelve or five. Yes, I like it, twelve

709
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 13: or five, I like it. Who knows this year maybe

710
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 13: twelve five.

711
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 7: I like it.

712
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 13: But not if you keep getting knocked out in the

713
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 13: second round of playoffs, it's meaningless.

714
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, well so that's all.

715
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 13: That's all the that's all I'm saying, and that's what

716
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 13: both fans are fare.

717
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 9: That's fine.

718
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 13: We have we got confidence, we're fans.

719
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 4: Doesn't sound like that. I don't hear a lot of confidence.

720
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 4: I don't have confidence in what though, confidence in what

721
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: you say. We have confidence because I just heard the

722
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 4: last thirty seconds you said, where's the confidence?

723
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 13: Here's the confidence?

724
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 9: What I just said.

725
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 13: If they if they put it together like last year

726
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 13: they went to Tampa Bay played probably the best game

727
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 13: they played all year. They just put it together. Unfortunately

728
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 13: the following week.

729
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 9: They did not.

730
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 13: So yes, this team has the capability to put it

731
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 13: together like what they played Philly. The problem is we

732
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 13: already their track record on the road is bad, and

733
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 13: I don't see it getting any better, and they won't

734
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 13: like you said, they won't know because feeding Washington, you know,

735
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 13: so we won't know, So that's in their minds. Dak Prescott,

736
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 13: he's not the same quarterback in the playoffs. He's not

737
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 13: the same quarterback on the road. So as much as

738
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 13: I like him, it's just the fact so that he

739
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 13: digs that. And the defense is not physical. You're going

740
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 13: to play probably physical teams. The games usually get more

741
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 13: physical in the playoffs. They haven't responded good to that, so.

742
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 5: There's these doubts.

743
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 13: But yeah, I'm happy they're in the playoffs because what

744
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 13: else would.

745
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 9: I be doing.

746
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, watching golf. So that's the thing.

747
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 9: We're excited.

748
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 13: But you just got a little realistic.

749
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 4: Okay, And I'm and I'm thanks for the call, and

750
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: I'm you know, for me, what this is, this is

751
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 4: my this is me being realistic. The Cowboys are clearly

752
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 4: the second second best team in the in the NFC.

753
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 4: I mean they they are not the best team in

754
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 4: the NFC. I think you can make a case about

755
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: Philly because they've beat each other and right now they're

756
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 4: about the same. Dallas and Philly is about the same.

757
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 4: Dallas and Detroit will find out. I mean, I kind

758
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: of think the Cowboys maybe are a little better, but

759
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 4: they don't have a better record, and we'll see. We're

760
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 4: gonna get to find out on Saturday Night. So I

761
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 4: think the forty nine ers still the best team in

762
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 4: the NFC, and then I think Detroit, Philly and the

763
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 4: Eagles are all right there. And then after that you

764
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 4: got teams that you know they have to just kind

765
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 4: of figure out ways to get hot at the right moment.

766
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 4: You're seeing the Rams do it. That's that's my point

767
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 4: is that I think that the Cowboys are are right

768
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 4: there too, and they're but they're not where the forty

769
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 4: nine ers are, and they haven't beaten the forty nine

770
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 4: ers of the last three times. So that's what's gonna

771
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 4: be interesting is if they have to go play San Francisco,

772
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 4: where's the mindset? How do they figure out and rally

773
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 4: together to do that? Realistically, it doesn't I don't see

774
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 4: a huge playoff run. I don't see them going to

775
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. I don't see it because I've never

776
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 4: seen it, not since I've been here, So I'm realistic.

777
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: I don't get ahead of myself. But that's the thing.

778
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: Go back and watch all of these shows. If you

779
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 4: have time, and if you're that bored, because I don't

780
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 4: ever do that. I don't jump ahead. You guys are

781
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 4: jumping ahead. I don't do that. I think this team

782
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 4: that's a ten, ten and four, ten five, they're ten

783
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 4: and five, they're ten and five. They got a really

784
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 4: good opportunity to get to eleven to five and maybe

785
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 4: twelve and five, and then we'll see, we'll see what

786
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 4: happened in the playoffs. But all this jumping ahead, you

787
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 4: look stupid. You look stupid when you do that kind

788
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: of stuff. I mean, that's that's just the way it is,

789
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: because you can't get ahead of this league. You can

790
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: only go by what you see. And that's fine until

791
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 4: they prove you wrong, good or bad. No one thought

792
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: they were gonna lose Arizona, and they did. They got

793
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 4: their ask it, you know. I mean, that's that's that's

794
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 4: the thing. You get surprised by stuff, enjoy the moment.

795
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: That's me. I'm I'll do it my way, you'll do

796
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: it your way. Yes, I agree. Some of you guys

797
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 4: are having some confidence. Some of you guys do not,

798
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 4: But like I keep saying, our confidence doesn't matter. They've

799
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 4: got to figure out a way to be confident. They

800
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: got to figure it out, all right. They feel like

801
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 4: a broken record here, Anthony, Miami, Florida. What's up?

802
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 9: Make the quick? What's up?

803
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 4: But what's up?

804
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 9: Man?

805
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: How are you?

806
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 9: I'm good man?

807
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: AI?

808
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 9: Oh my god, that last segment. Nick, I'm with you, bro.

809
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 9: When we met you, he heard my enthusiasm. But when

810
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 9: I called you said, I was alike new hot in

811
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 9: the beginning because I said exactly what you're saying. I said, well,

812
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 9: my expectations all my love them regardless, and I expect

813
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 9: to get to this point and I'm good with that.

814
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 9: So all that looking forward and all that surprised me.

815
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 9: I'm still gonna support you, but surprised. So you know

816
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 9: that's me on that. When we had said those movies

817
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 9: and all that, you did watch Radio right?

818
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah, okay.

819
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 4: That's one of my top three. I said, I said,

00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 4: Radio Rudy and remember the Titans all with the R

823
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 9: honorable mention. I love that movie. Remember the loan when

824
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 9: Coach Jones said when it was in barber shopping and

825
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 9: we had to give up football radio and he went,

826
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 9: I love football. I love it when you're looking for

827
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,080

Speaker 9: That all?

00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 7: Remember?

834
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 8: The guy?

00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 9: Just yeah, exactly that being said, I love football, and

836
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 9: I love what's gonna happen Saturday night when the Cowboys

837
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 9: get a win because they got to get a win

838
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 9: for my coach. I'm a Jimmy Johnson. Of course you

839
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 9: were the fanatic and the cow those are my teams.

840
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 9: So Jimmy going into the ring. All I can expect

841
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 9: for the Cowboys to do. All I wish for them

842
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 9: to do is continue this home dominance and win this game.

843
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 9: I don't care what else happened during the season, wherever

844
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 9: the because we'll see. We'll open up our box and

845
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 9: our present later. But I need you to win this

846
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 9: for this coach who set a standard. You got to

847
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 9: give it to them. He set a standard, just the

848
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 9: way Coach Landry said a standing in those guys an

849
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 9: America's team back in the day, for those ninety players

850
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 9: and stuff. He set a standard for these guys, Nate

851
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 9: and all these guys, Troy and them, and the Trippers

852
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 9: and all of them to enjoy what they're enjoying now,

853
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 9: you know, because not everybody's bringing it every week, being

854
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 9: enjoying the privilege of what comes with wearing that star

855
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 9: and a helmet. So let's go ahead and beat Detroit.

856
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 9: I expect them to win that game and do what

857
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 9: they gotta do. And I got one more thing, and

858
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 9: it's been the topic of the day. Yesterday, I finally

859
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 9: listened to all for the six shows. I listened to

860
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 9: every show I was off. I listened to all the

861
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 9: way to the girls, talk boy very talk boys. I laughed.

862
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 9: I got mad at a couple of callers from calling

863
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 9: people out and telling them what they how they should

864
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 9: think and shut up and all that, and you know,

865
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 9: and I learned something brought us as a gym, but

866
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 9: Native is a gym. Y'all just don't know what y'all

867
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 9: got with those two guys. What you might do, but

868
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 9: those two guys are gyms. What I what I see

869
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 9: with the colding on Michael Michael, go ahead and voice

870
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 9: your opinion. I'm not gonna I don't follow them all

871
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 9: the social media stuff. I don't know everything he said.

872
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 9: The voice it. I mean, I'll say this much. Yeah,

873
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 9: they're holding you. They're holding you. But your effort could

874
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 9: be better on some things. But they're holding they're they're

875
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 9: they're egregiously. But in my opinion is fifty four years

876
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 9: of living and I guess forty eight of them watching football,

877
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 9: I've never seen the calls and the referees beat as bad.

878
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 9: I don't know what's to that I'm talking about in

879
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 9: all games across the board, So maybe they need to

880
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 9: look into that A little bit.

881
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 4: Is getting held a lot.

882
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 9: I think it's getting held a lot. Yes, I think

883
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 9: it could put through some of it. But I think

884
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 9: you know that.

885
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 4: You want him to keep talking. I mean, these refs

886
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 4: are human. They hear.

887
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 9: I want to avoid it, but you know, not do it.

888
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 9: You know, yeah, he constantly doing it.

889
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 4: Not but he is. That's the problem. He's constantly doing it.

890
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 4: And you know what, he's one of the best pass

891
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 4: rushers in the league. If he's not the best and

892
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 4: he's not getting a call in ten games, there's no

893
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 4: way that that happens. There's no way that the best

894
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 4: route runner in all of all of the NFL is

895
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 4: not getting held and not getting a PI called one

896
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 4: time in ten games. That that's just not the way

897
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 4: they call it. That's the thing. The way they call this,

898
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 4: I mean, there's no way go back to the Buffalo

899
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 4: game and and and thanks for a call, Anthony, I

900
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 4: appreciate you. You got yeah, good good stuff as always

901
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: good positive, you know, and and that's you know, you're

902
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 4: you did start the pot waight way back. And when

903
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 4: you said, hey, I don't need a super Bowl and

904
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff, which which you're living in

905
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 4: the moment. I get that. And then and that's that's

906
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: where I think it's a healthy attitude to have. But

907
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 4: what I was saying about Buffalo is that you go

908
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: back to that game. That was a critical moment in

909
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 4: the first drive where they got a first down there

910
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 4: inside the thirty and they called a penalty very late

911
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 4: on Tyler Smith for a hold, and you watch that

912
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 4: and you're like, I guess, But then when you see

913
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 4: the way that Mike, there's no way that that's not happening.

914
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 4: So that's the thing they call it differently. On the outside,

915
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 4: I think they get the outs. I think they give

916
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 4: offensive tackles way more freedom to hold than they do

917
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 4: kind of on the inside guys, which I don't know

918
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 4: if that should be the case, but that definitely seems

919
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 4: that way. All right, Esteban and Austin, Texas is our

920
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 4: next caller. What's up?

921
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: Not much?

922
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: I just I don't get a lot of chance to

923
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: call in. But again, I just love the show, appreciate it.

924
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: I know one thing I really like about your show.

925
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 2: It seems like you're just as upset as US fans

926
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 2: after a loss. It seems to kind of I don't know,

927
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 2: just don't know.

928
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 4: About it upset. I don't know if it's upset, it's

929
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: you know, but it's it's a it's I don't even know. Yeah,

930
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 4: I mean disappointed. I mean you have chances, but like I,

931
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 4: like I've said before, had they won that game, they

932
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 4: would have stolen it from the Dolphins. I thought the

933
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 4: Dolphins were better. So the fact that they kicked the

934
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 4: field going one and two seconds ago, yeah, that sucks.

935
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 4: It probably didn't make your your Christmas dinner and taste

936
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 4: very good. But you know, after the after the they

937
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 4: scored right for the half, I thought they were gonna

938
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 4: lose by twenty one points. I one hundred percent thought

939
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 4: they were about to get blown out after they gave

940
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 4: up that touchdown, and so I was a little surprised

941
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 4: that they hung in there the way they did.

942
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: Honestly, No, I agree, and I think that going forward,

943
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 2: I see McCarthy adjusting the Bills loss was just terrible.

944
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't think there was anything good that came out

945
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: of that, but him taking the team going into Miami

946
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: and making adjustments, getting the game, like you said, taking

947
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: it away from the Dolphins. I think there's a lot

948
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: of positive I kind of have some hope going into

949
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 2: the playoffs in the next.

950
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 3: Few weeks, but.

951
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: I think I think things will turn around for them

952
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks.

953
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 4: Right, all right, Well, appreciate it, thanks for the thanks

954
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 4: for the call. We've got a few more minutes here.

955
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 4: We've got a couple of transactions that just happened, just

956
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 4: kind of came through the wire. The Cowboys, needing linebacker help,

957
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 4: released veteran Rashawn Evans, so I don't know. And they've

958
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 4: activated Matt Willasco to the fifty three man roster, so

959
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 4: he's ready to come back and we'll see, we'll see

960
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 4: what if he can stay healthy. And I don't know

961
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 4: what that means anything for Tyron Smith or what probably

962
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: just for more backup help, maybe as a swing to

963
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 4: of course, you know he's a young player, has never played.

964
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 4: But Sean Evans, uh that you know that experiment, that's

965
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 4: that's kind of the point about would you take a linebacker?

966
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 4: Getting these linebackers on the street, I mean, there's a

967
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 4: reason why they're there, so uh and and they're probably

968
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 4: going to go back there. So anyways, all right, Reggie

969
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 4: in Germany is our next called Reggie in Germany? What's up?

970
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up? What's up? Mary? Christmas?

971
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: You too?

972
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 5: Boy? Nick Listen, I gotta tell you that I agree

973
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 5: with you one hundred per bro. You know, I don't

974
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 5: know what's what's going on with the with the conversation today,

975
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 5: but you know, coming off and saying like the Cowboys

976
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 5: are gonna be one and done, and you know then

977
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 5: then you don't need to do you need to follow

978
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 5: the team after the first round?

979
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 7: You know?

980
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but but here's the thing, like I

981
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 4: I understand, like I say this a thousand times, like

982
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 4: my opinion is that's just my opinion, just like it's

983
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 4: it's y'all's opinion. Whoever says they're gonna be one and done,

984
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 4: they're being optimistic and realistic about what they believe, and

985
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 4: and and also it's a defense mechanism too, because you're like,

986
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 4: they're not gonna let me down again, you know, like

987
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 4: I I, and I understand a lot of people that

988
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 4: think that way. I'm not gonna get my hopes up

989
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 4: because I've seen this movie too many times, so I

990
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 4: get it. I understand why people say a certain thing.

991
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 4: And that's kind of my point is I can think

992
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 4: a certain way. I thought they were gonna lose by

993
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 4: twenty one. They didn't. My opinion didn't didn't matter at

994
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 4: that point, you know, it's it's so it's all about them.

995
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 4: That's kind of what we're saying. We can we're sitting

996
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 4: here just talking about stuff. Carthy's got to figure out

997
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 4: a way to get that team focus. Sorry though, Reggie,

998
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 4: that's right, go ahead, exactly right.

999
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,479
Speaker 5: Mature on that, Mature on that, Nick. You know, look,

1000
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 5: we don't. You don't always agree with what I have

1001
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 5: to say, you know, and I'm with you on that too,

1002
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 5: you know, I don't. I don't call you here you

1003
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 5: agree with me I call you to ask your opinion.

1004
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 5: You know that, I say, yeah, tell me what your

1005
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 5: opinion is on that, and whatever it is, I'm gonna

1006
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 5: go with it, even if I'm not happy with it.

1007
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 5: You know, I don't have to agree with it. That's

1008
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 5: just sure. You know it's your opinion. Because like what

1009
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 5: I was talking about doing the game face thing, you know,

1010
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 5: I'm still I'm just still agree on that. I still

1011
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 5: you know, I played ball all my life, and you know,

1012
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 5: I know when I played a team that was like

1013
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 5: cross times rival and they've been kicking I ask for

1014
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 5: the last three full seasons, five seasons, ten seasons. You know,

1015
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 5: we should we're convinced that we're committed to not letting

1016
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 5: that go on a year further. And we take the

1017
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 5: field and I have read it. We got a game

1018
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 5: base on we are, you know, prepare to play you ball.

1019
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 4: Let me ask Let me ask you this though you're

1020
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 4: talking about getting on the field and you had a

1021
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 4: game face. Who saw it? Your teammates, who else? Who else?

1022
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 4: The opponent?

1023
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 5: It doesn't I'm not doing it for a fance but that.

1024
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 4: But my point is this goes back to my point.

1025
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 4: Game face if that even matters you see it in

1026
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 4: your eyes, You see it in the guys in the huddle,

1027
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 4: You see the guys across from you. Do they have it?

1028
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 4: Do they not? The guys in the stands don't see it.

1029
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 4: The guys on on TV don't see it, and no offense.

1030
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 4: But the guys in a different country don't see it either.

1031
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 5: So that's my point.

1032
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 4: The team, right, But so who are who are you

1033
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 4: and me to talk about someone's game face? When Fox

1034
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 4: doesn't show a guy's face more than four or five

1035
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 4: times a game, how do we know what game face is?

1036
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 4: The opponents might That's That's all I'm saying. That's why

1037
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 4: I think it's weird for us to talk about game

1038
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 4: face and leadership and and heart and things that you

1039
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 4: can't prove, especially from miles away. That's all I'm saying.

1040
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, but but stick with it.

1041
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 4: That's your thing. That's your thing. And someone else called

1042
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 4: about that in his eyes too. I mean, I just

1043
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 4: I don't see that. I really don't. I don't. I

1044
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 4: don't see game face. Eli Manning? Is my excuse there?

1045
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 4: Eli Manning? What was his game face? This guy's going

1046
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 4: to Canton and then he'll he'll he'll have a weird

1047
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 4: game face when he goes there.

1048
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, well life with a weird face.

1049
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 4: You know, I got one. But then again, you know,

1050
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 4: I'm not really trying to trying to, you know, make plays.

1051
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 4: All right, Reggie, you got anything else? We gotta get rolling.

1052
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:07,800

00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: what the attitude has been like for your callers.

1062
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 4: But go back, go back and listen. It's been It's

1063
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 4: been fun. I mean, but let me say this before

1064
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 4: you get to your point. I just want to say

1065
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 4: that I don't have the answers either. This is not

1066
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 4: what the show is not to be like, throw at

1067
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 4: your opinion and I'm gonna tell you right or wrong.

1068
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 4: You're not gonna be right, right or wrong in your thoughts.

1069
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 4: That's just the way it is. I think what I

1070
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 4: think a big part is is I think a lot

1071
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 4: of fans go that they always say, am I the

1072
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 4: only one that thinks this? Or does anyone else think this?

1073
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 4: And that's what this show is is here to provide

1074
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 4: other perspectives. Oh you're in Florida, this guy's in Germany.

1075
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 4: Y'all think the same or not the same. That's what

1076
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 4: the show is. And I'm just here to kind of

1077
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 4: facilitate it and say, you give my thoughts, but you

1078
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 4: were all in the same boat. I'm not the voice

1079
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 4: of reason here. I'm just throwing stuff out what I think.

1080
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 4: So all right, sorry, Dylan, go ahead.

1081
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 3: You're good.

1082
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 5: You're good.

1083
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 1: I just want to shed totally some positivity. It doesn't

1084
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: sound like it's been a lot of positives.

1085
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 4: Not really.

1086
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: There's not really where the same team as we word. No,

1087
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: we could go two weeks ago when we were killing

1088
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: it with the same team. I mean, nothing has changed.

1089
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: The loss against the Dolphins hasn't changed anything. We needed

1090
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: the Eagles to lose before. We need the Eagles to

1091
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: lose now we know what this team is. We need

1092
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: a left tackle. Okay, with a left tackle in that

1093
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: game we win against the Dolphins. I'm pretty sure that

1094
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: pretty confident. And you look at some positives from that

1095
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: game that came through in the clutch, right, he delivered

1096
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: when it mattered most. You can say what you want

1097
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: about him, you know, playing missing some stuff during the game, whatever,

1098
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: but he came through in the clutch defense, held one

1099
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league to five field goals.

1100
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a win. So I'm not going to

1101
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: complain about that. They couldn't get it done when it

1102
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: mattered most, So you know, that sucks, But there's some

1103
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: positives you can take away from that game. There's no

1104
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 1: need to ditch the whole season, want to fire coach,

1105
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: want to replace Stack, all the silliness that you know

1106
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm hearing kind of on Twitter and sometimes you know,

1107
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: on the show and stuff. So everybody's calm down the season.

1108
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: We're about to get into the real season here in

1109
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, we'll know we go this week

1110
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: right now, this week, we'll know. We'll know who the

1111
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys really are when they play the lines, because that's

1112
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: who they're going to be playing in the playoffs again, and

1113
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: guarantee it.

1114
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 4: Right now. I agree. I agree one hundred percent. I

1115
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 4: thought that that you're right, we're about to get get

1116
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 4: this thing started.

1117
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 3: We really are.

1118
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the season's almost over regular season wise, but

1119
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 4: you play these games to get yourself in position. Sure,

1120
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 4: you'd like to have a better position than where they are.

1121
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 4: You know, you got to get lucky, and I don't

1122
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 4: think the Cowboys have been extremely lucky. You know, this,

1123
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 4: this team was supposed to rely on defense, and they've

1124
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 4: had two really key injuries on defense this year that

1125
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 4: that has you know, it has hurt them. One of

1126
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 4: them a linebacker, of course, one of them at cornerback

1127
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 4: as well. But everybody's dealing with it. You gotta fight

1128
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 4: through it. You gotta fight through you gotta have the

1129
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 4: right you know, backups, you know, at these at these

1130
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 4: positions of need, and so that's what the Cowboys are

1131
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 4: still doing it, still making roster moves, still trying to

1132
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 4: figure this out. But yeah, we're still We're just getting

1133
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 4: started here. Honestly, we're just getting started. It's about to

1134
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 4: get really fun. It's gonna be a playoff type atmosphere.

1135
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 4: I think Saturday Night against the Lions, and this is

1136
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 4: a team that they have to go beat. They I

1137
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 4: think they can prove something to themselves. They gotta they

1138
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 4: gotta get off the mat. They're down two straight losses,

1139
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 4: but it's still there. I really believe they're gonna be

1140
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 4: sitting in Washington in a couple of weeks with one

1141
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 4: eye watching this game, one eye watching this game. You

1142
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 4: gotta take care of business here. But I I firmly

1143
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 4: believe that the Cowboys will beat the Lions. They'll be

1144
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 4: playing in Washington trying to win that game, and we're

1145
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 4: wearing Giant blue as well, hoping that that the Giants

1146
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 4: can maybe pull off a stunner. If that happens, that

1147
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 4: changes a lot of things about your playoff picture. But

1148
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 4: you can only control that. You gotta beat the Lions first,

1149
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 4: and we'll talk about that and a lot more tomorrow

1150
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 4: when we come back. So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman.

1151
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 4: We'll see tomorrow on Cowboys storyline.

1152
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:08,520
