1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: Cowboys. 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Tuesday, 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: the twenty sixth, December twenty sixth. Cowboys lost the tough one. 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: You guys know this by now. We'll talk about it. 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: Cowboys and Dolphins on Christmas even Miami down to the 9 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: final seconds and couldn't get it done. I got opinions 10 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: about it. I'm sure you guys do as well. Eight eight, eight, eight, 11 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: five five two two nine seven. You can text us 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight. 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: We saw what the Giants did. Giants were able to 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: uh hang in there with the Eagles, but not enough 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: to win it. The Eagles get to win now they 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: have the one game lead. The Cowboys are gonna need 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: some help if they're gonna win. If they're gonna win 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: the NFC East, obviously, and they're gonna probably need the 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: Giants to to to beat them in New York. If 20 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: if the if the Giants are gonna play like they 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: did yesterday, if they play like that all season long, 22 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: it could happen but that's that's kind of that's probably 23 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: the Cowboys best bet right now. Still looking at the 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: number five seed, looks like that's probably gonna be the case. 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: And not sure where the Tampa Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans 26 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 2: mayby just all still have a shot there. But we'll 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: we'll talk about we'll break down why the Cowboys are 28 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: in this position and and and what happened uh Sunday 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: against the Dolphins. All right, let's get to the phone lines. 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: Start us off, big Al in San Antonio. He's the 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: first caller, big Al, what's up? 32 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 3: A good morning there, holidays. 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: To you, you too, you too, thank you?

I'm still kind of pissed off on Sundays. 36 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: So my opinion is they the play calling just change. 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: After the first the first drive, after Lamb school that 38 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: for that touchdown, everything just changed. 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: Man. 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with Mike he I 41 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: don't know, man, I'm just getting frustrated now and getting 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 3: pissed off. I might have to go down and start 43 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 3: coaching myself. 44 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: All right, Well, come on, you get through security, you know, 45 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: get in you know, you just wonder I mean, everybody 46 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: knows Tyreek Hill's getting the ball, I mean everybody, I mean, 47 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: you know, and he gets nine catches, you know, they 48 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: and they've done a good job to Shriff Schemen see 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: the open. But you're right, for some reason it went 50 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: away you know, for what almost two quarters. Yeah, Yeah, 51 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: it's mind boggling. I didn't get that one at all. 52 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't even still don't. And uh with the 53 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: Saturday what they come out to do. I know they 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: came back strong, you know, against the rush, and they'll 55 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: see what they got nicked for Detroit. Yeah, but anyway, 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: and I get with you later on. 57 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 2: All right, thanks appreciate that big frustration. Pissed off, he said, yeah, 58 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: and you know, I'm I hear you. It's you know, 59 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: the thing about CD is they move him in the 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: slot for this reason, I mean for the reason of 61 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: you really can't take him away when you have a 62 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: guy that can that can go in the slot like that, 63 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: and you know, I mean, Dak Dak will throw the 64 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: football to who he thinks is open, and he trusts 65 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: everybody to make the play, you know, And it's frustrating, 66 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: I think when you're watching it and you think, you 67 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: know it's third and goal or whatever, and you you know, oh, no, 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: Hindershot didn't make the play. Well know, Hendershot didn't make 69 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: them hasn't made one this year, you know, Hunter Lipke 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: the fumble, I mean, which I think is still the 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: biggest play of the game. And it's hard to do 72 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: that on the first drive, but I thought it was. 73 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: I thought that was an absolute killer. And uh and 74 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: not just him, but I mean the actual running back, 75 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 2: like your lead running back. That that all you're looking 76 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: for is a little bit of a of a crease 77 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: to get in and you got a lot of room 78 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: to score and you don't score from the one that 79 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: that was not worse than the fumble because it got 80 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: your first down, but I mean that was bad. That 81 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: was that was bad. And then that that speaks volumes, 82 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: I think for what the team is lacking. And running 83 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: back at the running back position this year just hasn't worked. 84 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: It just hasn't really worked like you wanted it to. 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: He's been okay, Tony Pollard has been okay, but he 86 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: you know, you wanted him to be a little bit 87 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: better and it just hasn't really been the case. And 88 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 2: so and they struggled to run the football. Of course, 89 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: yesterday or Sunday. All right, let's go to Brian in 90 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: Kansas City. Brian is next. Good morning, Nick morning, how 91 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: are you doing. 92 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 4: I'm doing good, sir. Well, you know, I got to 93 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 4: watch the Kansas City game and he didn't look any better. 94 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 4: He's got a double whimmy. He doesn't have an offensive 95 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: line right now, he's got some injuries. He also doesn't 96 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 4: have a number one receiver. And boyd does he look human? 97 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 2: Yeah talking about Patrick Mahomes, of course. 98 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, he does not look like Superman that everybody's 99 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 4: always saying. And you know, I thought Dak had a 100 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: great game for probably two thirds of the game. You know, 101 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 4: there was that lull in the middle, but but you 102 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 4: know that the pass to Cooks over over Ramsey, you know, 103 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: in the corner of the end zone, there was great. 104 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: He bought his butt off, just running and just wawing 105 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: for everything he could get. Our offensive line was bad, 106 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 4: So you know, I'm not an offensive line coach. But 107 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 4: on the broadcast, Olsen kept saying, I dooga was blocking 108 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 4: down the wrong direction and that was just killing us 109 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 4: with Bradley Chubb coming around that corner. But you know, 110 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 4: I I thought when I looked at this five game stretch, 111 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: I thought maybe we go three and two, and I 112 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: still hope for that. But you know, this week, I 113 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 4: think it's gonna be a it's going to be a 114 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 4: tough one. We got the Lions coming in on a 115 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 4: short week, you know, and they're If I had to 116 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 4: pick another team other than San Francisco that I think 117 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 4: is just a tough, physical team in the NFC, they'd 118 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: be it. 119 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, they are. You're right about that. They play 120 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: just like their head coach played the game. 121 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. 122 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: And and not just that, I mean if you look 123 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: at their you look at their coaching staff. I think 124 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: they've got ten guys that played, uh in the NFL. 125 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: I mean, and I'm not talking about ya who's on 126 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 2: a practice squad or whatever, like the these are guys 127 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: that you know, And so that's the kind of coaching 128 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: staff that he has has kind of surrounded himself with. 129 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: But but yeah, and I mean, you're you're right. Going 130 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 2: back to the game, I don't I don't know what's 131 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: going on with with with Adoga. I didn't, I didn't. 132 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: I didn't think that was ever supposed to be the 133 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: option that left tackle, But but he was and it 134 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: has been all year. And you know, this isn't like 135 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: Tyron was like last second scratch, not gonna practice, not 136 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: gonna play idoga comes in like he was he would, 137 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: did not practice all week with a back injury. So 138 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: it was it just he just didn't look prepared. I mean, 139 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure he was kind of. But Bradley 140 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: Chubb was the best player on their on their defense 141 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: and on their defensive line. We knew that going in. 142 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: So if you're gonna pick a player to say, you know, 143 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: let's not block him, well let's you know, give someone 144 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: free and we'll block here, and we have to let 145 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: someone go that's not the guy. And it was way 146 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: too many times. I didn't understand it. I don't understand it. 147 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: They don't let Mike Caparsits get free, I mean ever, 148 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: And so that is just a huge, huge breakdown. And 149 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: not only did he let Chubb go a couple of times, 150 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: but for nothing else, like he wasn't really blocking. He 151 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: could just tell he was blocking the wrong guy because 152 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: he wasn't really blocking anyone. And Tyler didn't need the help. 153 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: You know, Tyler's got it. Tyler's got his guy there. 154 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: So they're gonna. I've said all along, I think Tyler 155 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: Smith should be playing at left guard, but at this rate, 156 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: if you might have to switch this up because I 157 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: just don't think that's the option at left tackle. I 158 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 2: never have and so it's not just a knee jerk. 159 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: I've never thought that doesn't look like a left tackle, 160 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: doesn't not necessarily play in like one either, So I 161 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: think they got to make a change there. They got 162 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: to figure that out. If that means put basset guard 163 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: in Tyler Smith. I hate to do that, and they 164 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: don't want to be moving Tyler Smith around during the season. 165 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: But you know that that wrecked the game, you know, 166 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: I think I think their offensive line struggled, and I 167 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: think right at that position, I think it had wrecked 168 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: the game. How many more can you do? So you 169 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: have to make it a switch if you can Tyler. 170 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I do believe Tyron Smith has a shot 171 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: to play this week, uh coming back, So that'll be 172 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: that'll be something to watch for sure. All right, let's 173 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: go with a text question Thoughe Steve Williams. He's in Charlotte, 174 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 2: North Carolina. After the game, I can't say I was 175 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: really worried going into the Lions game. Am I wrong? 176 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: He'd be worried if you want. I mean, I I 177 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: think if they don't play well, they'll lose. We we 178 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: do think that. We know this team plays a lot 179 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: better at home, but but you know, against like they 180 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: really beat Philadelphian. Philadelphia's reeling and they they whipped Philly 181 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: pretty good. Seattle, uh, you know, Seattle gave him everything 182 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: they wanted, you know, and Detroit's playing way better than them. 183 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: So so yeah, I mean, it'll it'll be it'll be 184 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: a tough game, especially when you look at at matchups. 185 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: You know, if you can't block the edge, the Lions 186 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: have some guys that can really get in your face. 187 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: Is you can't stop the run, you know, the Lions 188 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: certainly can do that as well. So it's gonna be 189 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: a tough game. But there'll be a lot of a 190 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: lot of stuff happening there, emotions and all that stuff. 191 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: It should be a great crowd. I think it'll be 192 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: a great, you know, great opportunity for the Cowboys to 193 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: bounce back. But it's gonna be tough, all right, Sebastian, 194 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: He's in Savannah, Georgia. Sebastian, what's up? 195 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 5: Good? 196 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 6: Morning, mister man. I hope everybody had a beautiful holiday. 197 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 6: You know, it's more than just the Cowboys. My girls 198 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 6: had such a beautiful time yesterday. So I can't be 199 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 6: but in a good mood. We now know our path. 200 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 6: It's clear. We just got to play our best games 201 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 6: and get ready for the playoffs. There's no winning the 202 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 6: division or whatever the case is. We're in there. We 203 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 6: got to handle business once we get there. Two things 204 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 6: that this team has no choice but to look at 205 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 6: at this point in the draft next year, if the 206 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 6: best ability is availability, you have to look at getting 207 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 6: a new tackle. Tyron's one of the best players in 208 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 6: the world when he he's available, but he's not available. 209 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 6: If you're in business and you're unreliable, I can't do 210 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 6: business with you. It's that simple. And we got to 211 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 6: get on the other side, actually both sides, because you 212 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 6: might need to upgrade your center a little bit as well. 213 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 6: We need guys with rocks in their pockets on both sides. Okay, 214 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 6: because Hankins went down and you can see in the 215 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 6: Buffalo game they literally just pushed us even though they're 216 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 6: getting around the edges a lot of times. You got 217 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 6: to be more so concerned about that goal line. And 218 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 6: in the goal line, we can't stop a nosebleed right now. 219 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 6: So if you could just talk about those couple of things, 220 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 6: I hope you guys have a happy New Year's. Didn't 221 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 6: get a chance to call before Christmas, so Happy Honuka, 222 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 6: Happy Kwanza, Merry Christmas to everybody. Have a great day, guys. 223 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: All right, thanks appreciate that sequestion. So they get a 224 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: lot of needs. I mean, you know, I mean we 225 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: think about it. They need a tackle center. Uh yeah, 226 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: they need they need they need to upgrade that. I 227 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 2: think linebacker. Seriously, I mean, that's that's a huge problem. 228 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: Clark's not ready. It doesn't seem like Damoon Clark. I 229 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: just haven't seen him make a lot of plays this year. 230 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: I know he leads the team in tackles, but he's 231 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 2: just not making a lot of plays and he's getting 232 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: he's getting pushed around a lot more than I thought 233 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: he would be, especially looking at him in college. 234 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: Now. 235 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: I know he had the neck injury and he's been 236 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: cleared and you know it's been a year and a half, 237 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 2: so you'd like to think that's not an issue. But 238 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: for a big, physical guy like that he has a 239 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: hard time, seems like getting off the block, especially when 240 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 2: a guard or somebody really physical gets his hands on him. 241 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: I mean we've seen it now two games in a row, 242 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 2: just to play that. I'm sure there's a meme about it. 243 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: I mean, just getting thrown all around the place. So 244 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: that that lineback, you know, then with Leyton vander esh 245 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: being out and who knows what his future looks like. 246 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: I mean, linebacker is a spot. Running back is going 247 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 2: to be a spot, of course. But going to what 248 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: you said, I mean, yeah, the line it's not the 249 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: same with Hankins, it's not. And that's why they went 250 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: and got him last year. That's why they re signed him. 251 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: But and then, and that's why they drafted Mazzie Smith 252 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: hoping that that would, you know, just just be a 253 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: guy that could kind of plug, you know, clog up 254 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: the middle. But it's not. It's not happening without without Hankins, 255 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: and Mazzi was in there that last play, you know, 256 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: third and two, third and two. You gotta stop them. 257 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: You stop them. They kick a field goal, you got 258 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: some time to maybe go down and get it and 259 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: get a shot. But they can't. They can't. You know, 260 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 2: stop with Jeff Wilson or whatever. They can't make the 261 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: play Mozzi and gets walled off Osa. Oh so that 262 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: whole side gets Waldolf Damon goes there. I mean, they 263 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: just they just schemed it perfectly and there was no 264 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: shot to stop them. So uh and that was basically 265 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 2: the game. But yeah, they they got they got issues 266 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: all the way around. And you know, I I think 267 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: the Cowboys could have done a better job, knowing what 268 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: you just said about Tyron and and Tyrann's availability and 269 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: knowing that this is going to happen. I don't feel 270 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: like Tuma Adoga had left tackle was I don't feel 271 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: like that was the right contingency plan move, you know, 272 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: all year long, and but you know, they drafted Austin Richards, 273 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: but you know he's not going to be the guy, 274 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 2: you know, to be your your backup left tackle, but 275 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: they they went for Truma. He hadn't he didn't have 276 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: a ton of experience. They're playing left tackle. He had 277 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: been hurt, and that's that's kind of who they went with, 278 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: and you know it cost them. I thought caught something 279 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: the other night. All right, let's go, let's go, James Pastor, 280 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: James in Midland, Texas. 281 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, has it going today? 282 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: Good man? How are you doing? 283 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 8: Doing well? 284 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: Doing well? 285 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 7: I hope you. Chris, Jazz and Josh and everybody had 286 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 7: a merry Christmas. 287 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: Thank you. 288 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 7: And if I was Chuma Doga, I would hide in 289 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 7: the film room whenever they watched them fam because I mean, 290 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 7: you could just see it over and over again. You 291 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 7: cannot leave a guy cubb out there on the outside unblocked. 292 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 7: And I mean I really wasn't really upset about the 293 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 7: game because I felt like it was a better game 294 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 7: than it was in Buffalo, and it was in Miami 295 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 7: against a playoff caliber team and they went down to 296 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 7: the end. But you know, if you look at all 297 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 7: the Steel photos that you see when Mike is getting held, 298 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 7: I think maybe he just made need to just get 299 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 7: off the ref's back, you know, start shaking their hands 300 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 7: and being nicer to him, and maybe they'll give him 301 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 7: some of those plays, because. 302 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 9: It's crazy that he hadn't had a holding. 303 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 7: Call called against him since October, right, you know. And 304 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 7: I mean you can just see where they're grabbing him, 305 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 7: where they have him around his chin strap and all 306 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 7: kind of stuff, and it just seems like that that 307 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 7: he's just you know, getting the short end of stick. 308 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 7: But I will say that I felt a lot better 309 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 7: after watching what the Ravens did to the forty nine 310 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 7: ers last night. It made them look like they were vulnerable. 311 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 7: It made them look like they were actually human, a 312 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 7: human team, and that a defense could actually play against 313 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 7: that offense, and an offense could run and work against 314 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 7: that defense. And like everybody's always talking about there's a 315 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 7: blueprint against the Cowboys, I believe that the Ravens showed 316 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 7: a blueprint for what to do against the forty nine ers. 317 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 7: So I'll get off and I hope y'all have a 318 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 7: great show, and I'll listen to what you have to say. 319 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for the call, James. I appreciate that blueprints 320 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: are tricky because just because you can do it doesn't 321 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: mean that they can do it. I mean we're seeing 322 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: that with I mean with the Eagles. I mean they 323 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: have a blueprint on how how to get a yard 324 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: on fourth and one, But not everybody can do that, 325 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: and not everyone can play the way the Ravens do, 326 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: especially on defense. They're linebackers. You know, they've got two 327 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: really good linebackers and uh, you know they they they've 328 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: got some great players and they are they're just a 329 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: well old machine right now. They're they're playing, they're the 330 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: they're the best team in football. I mean, they're gonna 331 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: I'm sure the power rankings will come out here uh today, 332 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: if they're not already out in Baltimore, will be number one, 333 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: I mean emphatically, of course. They're they're playing the best, 334 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: and they've got you know, they've got the MVP favorite 335 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: right now. And Lamar Jackson, who I you know, I 336 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 2: think is amazing. I mean I do. I know that 337 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: he gets a lot of flak for being a running 338 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: back or whatever. I'll take him on my team, you know, 339 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: I mean because because he he knows how to make 340 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: plays and and he's and he's just a nightmare to 341 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 2: try to stop. So anyways, yeah, that was good to 342 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 2: see them do that. But uh yeah, it's it's a 343 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 2: it's a it's a mess right now. When you know, 344 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 2: you look at Micah and Michaeh, you know, he's just 345 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: he's he's frustrated obviously, and you know he can't he 346 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 2: can't play that one. And it's tough because you can't, 347 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: you know, you can't get penalties like that, and I 348 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: I've heard people say, what is he supposed to do? 349 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 2: Not hit the quarterback? That's I mean, I'm not blaming him. 350 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: I'm saying that's what you're not supposed to do. You 351 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 2: can't hit the quarterback like that, especially really hard like that. 352 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: It it didn't look like a penalty. I know the 353 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 2: rule says you get two steps, and he kind of 354 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 2: didn't even take that. So I get all that. But 355 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: when you go and complain to the officials one, you know, 356 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: like a play or two before, and you have your 357 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: hands out and all that, and then you go hit 358 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: the quarterback, they're never gonna call it for you. They're not. 359 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: And so he's gonna have to figure that out. And 360 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: I don't it's been but it is amazing to think 361 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 2: that it's been like what, eight nine games and he 362 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: can't get a hold in fromply, especially the way they 363 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: call holding in some of these games. That's been a shocker. 364 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: All right, Robin Vegas, what's up? 365 00:18:59,720 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 5: Hey? 366 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: What's that man? How are you? 367 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 5: I'm good? How are you? 368 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 2: I'm good? Sorry? Kicking drink of water? What's up with you? 369 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 5: Listen? When this team goes on the road against good teams, 370 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 5: it's like groundhog Day. We've seen this the last few years. 371 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 5: Tyler Smith doesn't play. I mean, I'm Tyrant Smith doesn't play, 372 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 5: we lose. Uh, we're going to average twenty points. That's 373 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 5: our average pretty much on the road, and that's pretty 374 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 5: much what we do against good teams. Dak doesn't play. 375 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 7: He plays good. 376 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 5: He doesn't play great like he does at home. He 377 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 5: just plays good. We're going to have dumb penalties at 378 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 5: bad times that are going to cost us big plays. Again, 379 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 5: we've we had that, we have. Uh is it coaching? Well, 380 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 5: we got to put a lot of it on coaching, 381 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 5: because what are you that's the common denominator. Mike McCarthy, 382 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 5: for whatever reason, cannot get this key to play on 383 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 5: the road like they do at home. Not even close, 384 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 5: not even half. I've never seen anything like it. And 385 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 5: what are you gonna do? You hear the rumors that, well, 386 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 5: maybe Belichick is going to come in, Well, I don't 387 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 5: want Belichick to come in because that means this team 388 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 5: didn't succeed. But you know one thing, if Belichick came in, 389 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 5: they're the lowest pedalized team in the NFL. So we 390 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 5: would definitely he would definitely fix that, and I think 391 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 5: he would fix that. We wouldn't be soft in the 392 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 5: trenches because we are. That offensive line again killed us 393 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 5: during the game, and defensively we played better against the run, 394 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 5: but when we had to stop the run at the 395 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 5: end of the game, when they knew it was coming, 396 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 5: they couldn't do it. And the moon clock is awful. 397 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 5: I know he's there because we really don't have anybody else. 398 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 5: The face mask penalty killed this at the end. But 399 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 5: he just gets blown off the ball that now he's 400 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 5: all over YouTube where you see him getting blocked like 401 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 5: twenty five yards down the field. So I don't know. Unfortunately, 402 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 5: like I said, I see Groundhog Day, you just pencil 403 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 5: little men. They're gonna score twenty points on the road. 404 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 5: I think they'll beat the Lions. They match up good 405 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 5: with them and Jared Goff. They have his number. I 406 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 5: know lines are better this year, but I just I 407 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 5: just unfortunately, I just see the scenario. We'll probably go 408 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 5: to Tampa Bay. Hey, I'm not totally confident they could 409 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 5: be Tampa Bay in Campa Bay anymore, going on the 410 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 5: road on grass. I mean, it's all these crazy things 411 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 5: and now the team is imploding. Michaeh. Parsons listened. Micah, 412 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 5: this is today's NFL. You gotta shut your mouth. This 413 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 5: isn't the nineties the eighties where you could actually play 414 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 5: real defense. You know what this league is about. So 415 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 5: be quiet. 416 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 7: You're not going to get the. 417 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 5: Calls, especially if you criticize the rest. And I just 418 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 5: don't know. I unfortunately, I just have no confidence when 419 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 5: this team leaves at and T Stadium. 420 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: All Right, all right, thanks for the call. There's a 421 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:31,239 Speaker 2: lot to unpack there. And honestly, like they don't they 422 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: don't need us to be confident, you know, they really don't. 423 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 2: They don't need you to be confident. They don't need 424 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: to be us to because they really don't. They they 425 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: need to be confident. They need to figure out how 426 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: to how to go win. And you know, I've just 427 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 2: I've seen it. I've seen it happen where you just 428 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 2: don't you know, what we think is not is not 429 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: exactly what happens. So yeah, I mean you can go 430 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: and look a look like that. I mean, the caller 431 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: just talked about Kansas City. You know that they're not fans, 432 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: they're not confident and because of based of what you 433 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: see and you can only go off of what you see. 434 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 2: But you know, like I said, they don't. We don't 435 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: have to have confidence in them and and they they 436 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: have to figure out how to do it. And you're 437 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: right about Micah. You know, that's the tricky part there 438 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 2: is that I know, me, I I ask you know. 439 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: I applaud the players for standing in front of the 440 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: mics after the game and talking because they don't all 441 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 2: do it. They don't. And the guys that are supposed 442 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: to be the leaders and the captains, they do it 443 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: when they feel like it wins you know, good games. 444 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: They don't do it all the time. They're not consistent. 445 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: So if you're going to be a superstar, you're gonna 446 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: you're gonna be the face of the franchise. You got 447 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: to do that. And uh so I applaud him for 448 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 2: doing it, but he's not helping himself by being honest. 449 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 2: And you want that's another thing. You want people to 450 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: be honest. You want them to say something, you know, 451 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: don't just give the company line, you know, actually say 452 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 2: what you're thinking. That's what the media always wants. But 453 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 2: it's not helping him. It's not there's no way that 454 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: that that's that's helping him. So that's that's a that's 455 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: something he's going to have to figure out. It's the 456 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: same way with that position. How do you be super 457 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 2: aggressive to get around the edge as fast as you 458 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: can and be flying at the quarterback, but then when 459 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: he throws it, you can't hit him. I mean, it's 460 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 2: it's it's tough. You know, breaks, And that's the thing. 461 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 2: NFL doesn't care about breaks. They this isn't you know 462 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: that midas Okay, they don't. They don't give a crap 463 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: about you stopping what's supposed to do. He was right there. 464 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: Don't hit him. They don't care how fast you're going, 465 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 2: you can't hit him. So common sense never really comes 466 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: into play when you're talking about a quarterback. His legs, 467 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 2: his knees, not his his head anything like I dives 468 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: down like that at the last second and you you're 469 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 2: about to hit him in the chest and he dives 470 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: down and you hit him. They don't care. They don't. 471 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: And so that's that's that's why it's really really tough 472 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: on these defensive players because they're moving so fast and 473 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: then you know, all all all you're seeing is what 474 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 2: the end result is. It's not fair, and that's what 475 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: happens though. All Right, Mike in New York is our 476 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: next caller. 477 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 8: What's up? 478 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: Nick? Love the show Man? Cowboys fans for a long 479 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: long time, listen all the time. I think, I think 480 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: my biggest concerns with the Cowboys is I think I 481 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: like Gallup as a receiver, but I feel like since 482 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: he's come back from that injury, he just he hasn't 483 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: been the same. He just like I get it himself, 484 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: but he's just he hasn't been the same. And then 485 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: another thing is I feel like Mike McCarthy, me and 486 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: my cousin are dying how Cowboys fans and we text 487 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: all the time, and he lives down in Pennsylvanian stuff, 488 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: And I honestly think I think Mike McCarthy has to 489 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: take he has to get Dallas to the like NFC 490 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: championship game to save his job. I think he's on 491 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: the hot seat. 492 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 4: I don't know. 493 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, that's the second caller in a row 494 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: about that, and I'll just leave it at that. I 495 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: don't know, I don't I don't make that decision. There's 496 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 2: only one person that does. And so you know it'll 497 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 2: we'll we'll see how how how this thing ends up, 498 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: you know, this this year. I mean, because like I said, 499 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: I might I use the analogy all the time, but 500 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 2: it's it's the perfect one because it is the roller coaster. 501 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 2: This is what this team is, what the franchise is. 502 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: It's smooth here, this is nice, bumpy does twist, turns, stops. 503 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: Think the rides over now it goes backwards. I mean, 504 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: it's the thing that makes this so exciting is also 505 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: the thing that makes you want to throw up sometimes 506 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: because it's just it never you can't get it, you 507 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: can't get ahead of it. You can't figure this out. 508 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: So whatever McCarthy, whatever, Jerry decides when he wants to, 509 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: you know, decide. If you know, he's he's credit He's 510 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: credited him a lot, He's given a lot of praise 511 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 2: on what he's done this year. And you know, I 512 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: think he does look at it like, you know, being 513 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: consistent consistent matters. Now what consistently out of the playoffs 514 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: in the division round or do you look at it 515 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: like consistently given this team a chance to go and 516 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 2: you know and compete me three straight years in the playoffs, 517 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 2: Well that might be your expectations, and that's expectations, but 518 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: the reality of it is it's hard to do. And 519 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: uh and so you know, you can't just be switching 520 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: coaches all the time. And we'll see, we'll see what happens. 521 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 2: I mean again, it doesn't really matter till the end, 522 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: and then that's when we'll get a good determination of 523 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 2: where we are and what goes on. One of the 524 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 2: last callers, I think it was Rob I guess that 525 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: said it is what it is. You're not going to 526 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 2: make the playoffs. I mean, not sorry, you're not going 527 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: to win the division. But I mean, this is what 528 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 2: I think will happen. I think that the Cowboys will 529 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 2: beat Detroit. I think they'll they'll figure out a way 530 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: to stop this and win at home, and it'll be 531 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 2: a tough game, but I think that they'll win. And 532 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 2: I think Philly will beat the Cardinals at home. So 533 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: what will happen is is they'll they'll they'll put them 534 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: at the same time. I think on Sunday, the last 535 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 2: game of the season, Dallas will go to Washington, the 536 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 2: Giants will get Philly at home, and they'll play exactly 537 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: the same time. And I mean, if the if the 538 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: Giants played like that at home and trying to win. 539 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: I mean they could they could win that game. And 540 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: if they win that game and you beat the Washington, 541 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: then you win the you win the East, so then 542 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 2: you move from the five to the probably the two 543 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 2: will probably we'll see what Yeah, I mean, I would 544 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: think so if you beat if you beat Detroit, you 545 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: have to beat Detroit to get there, and so Detroit 546 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 2: is a game ahead, but you'd have to Tiere so 547 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 2: probably the too. So so it's it's not it's not likely, 548 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: I don't think, but I mean, you know, leaning on 549 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 2: the Giants to do anything isn't really likely. But that's 550 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: that's kind of where it is. But you know, not 551 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: to get too far ahead. You gotta be gotta be Detroit, 552 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: all right. Allen is in Long Island, New York. 553 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 8: Allan, what's up, hey, nick Mary? Christmas to you and 554 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 8: your family and everyone there. 555 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 2: You too a great job. Appreciate that. 556 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 8: I just have three points told you that. 557 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: If you would have used if you would take them 558 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 2: three points the other night that the Cowboys win, So 559 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 2: I know I know what's happening. 560 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 8: Just one thing I've noticed. You remind me of the 561 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 8: wet the White House Press secretary, because man, when the 562 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 8: Cowboys lose, I know, probably so many people call you 563 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 8: keep taking questions and what a great job you do. 564 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 2: I appreciate that. 565 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 8: But not the current you know, you know, you know 566 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 8: what I mean, you get the Bible saying. But the 567 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 8: three points I want to make. Number one, how did 568 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 8: Tony Pollard not score that touchdown? I don't know that's number. 569 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: That's the number. 570 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 8: Two, Michael Parsons, Please, I beg you, Micah, just play football, 571 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 8: stay off the social media. Number three, how about Amari Cooper? 572 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 10: Huh? 573 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 8: Back to back thousand yard seasons with who the hell 574 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 8: is the quarterback? 575 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 2: Right? 576 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 8: You know? That's all I wanted to say. If you 577 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 8: want time in on those three points. So that's a 578 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 8: great job, Nick Merk, Christmas to you and Chris. 579 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 2: All right, all right, good stuff. I'll start with Pollard 580 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: and I've said it earlier, but I just I don't know. 581 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: I don't know how you don't score You have to 582 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 2: score there and the play. If you can't score there, 583 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 2: then why are they calling it? You know what? That 584 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: is the play? I mean, it is an option for 585 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: him to get You got to make you don't even 586 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: have to make a guy miss okay, because you're right there. 587 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: You just have to carry him into the end zone 588 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: and you can't get thrown around like like a helicopter, 589 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 2: like at the one inch line. I mean, dive, put 590 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: it across the line. Whatever you have to do, have 591 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 2: to score. I thought Cooks could have scored too, Honestly, 592 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 2: I thought Cooks could have maybe done a little bit 593 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: more on that end to round too. With Ramsey there 594 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: thought there was a cutback to be had. But I'm not. 595 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 2: I'm not taking it away from Hunter Lipkey for fumbling 596 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: the ball, Okay, I'm like, that's that's elementary type play. 597 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: I mean, with dak to to to lip Key, that's ridiculous. 598 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's crazy that that. You you know, 599 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,239 Speaker 2: one guy had the ball and couldn't get in and 600 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 2: the next guy got in without the ball. If you 601 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 2: could just combine those guys together, obviously they score. And 602 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 2: when when that game Parsons, we've said it, you know, 603 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: I mean, he's gotta he's got to play through this. 604 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: He's just got to figure out a way to play 605 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 2: through it. I mean, I don't know anything else other 606 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 2: than to say, I mean they put the I mean, 607 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: he's tweeting out the shots. And you know, the thing 608 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 2: is that you always hear, well, they could call holding 609 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 2: on every play, but they don't. They don't. And you 610 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: would think a guy with that many pressures and commands 611 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 2: that much attention that he would get a call, but 612 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: he's not. And so I don't like to say, well, 613 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: the officials are plotting against I mean that that stuff 614 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: seems it seems pretty far fetched. It just seems that way. 615 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: But what else can you say. I mean, I don't 616 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 2: know what else you can say on this. This is 617 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: one of the best pass rushers in the league. He's 618 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: the most vocal person that seems like and critical at 619 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: the officials, and he doesn't get any calls. And so 620 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what else you can 621 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 2: really say about it. So I'm just gonna leave it 622 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: at that. And then the third my Mark Cooper. Good 623 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: for him, I mean good, good for Mark Cooper. He's 624 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 2: always been a really good player, always been a good player. 625 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: But it don't sit here and think that you're going 626 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 2: to get what you get out of Mari and you're 627 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: gonna get out of CD. I mean, they they they 628 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 2: they pretty much played the same position. And for they 629 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 2: the Cowboys felt like for CD to thrive, and really 630 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: for Dak to thrive for being honest that he needed 631 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 2: to go and and the money they could use elsewhere. 632 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: And they thought they had a playmaker and CD, and 633 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 2: they said, you know what, we we we've got this guy. 634 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 2: He can be this guy here and we go use 635 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 2: our money elsewhere. And they weren't wrong with that. They 636 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 2: weren't because look what CD has done. He doesn't blow 637 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 2: up to be one of the you know, have two 638 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 2: great seasons like this, probably with the Marii Cooper and 639 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 2: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, just have CD 640 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 2: and Amari and you know, get rid of Gallup and 641 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 2: then look what you have. And yeah, that would be great, 642 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 2: but I you know, they they wanted to use that 643 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 2: money elsewhere. And I mean, but good for Mari because 644 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: he's absolutely balling. He's playing great, and he's playing it 645 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 2: with inconsistencies at the quarterback position. All right, Jeremy in 646 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: New York State was staying in New York here, Jeremy, 647 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 2: what's up. 648 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 10: Hey, first time, Carl, Thanks love for taking my call. 649 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 3: Nick. 650 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 10: I just I'm just so disappointed after that loss. It 651 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 10: just seems that we can't just win the big ones 652 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 10: when we really needed to count the most, like the 653 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 10: Eagles won, they had a chance for the division. To 654 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 10: be honest with you, I don't think they're going to 655 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 10: beat Detroit and I just don't see how they're going 656 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 10: to get out be able to beat a team like 657 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 10: San Francisco at all. It just seems to me the 658 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 10: defense can dominate the lesser teams, and when it comes 659 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 10: to the teams that have like good offensive linemen the 660 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 10: good defense, they can't do anything. And they're just not 661 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 10: built for coming from behind. And I just never understood 662 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 10: why they didn't build a team to be able to 663 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 10: keep up come from behind to make wins. But when 664 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 10: they need to stop, they can't get it. When they 665 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 10: need a score, they can't get it. It's just very frustrating. 666 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 2: Well they did, I mean, it's hard to say they're 667 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 2: not built to come from behind when they did. You know, 668 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 2: they did down sixteen to seven going into the fourth quarter, 669 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 2: I believe, and they can't. 670 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 10: How many games have they done that too? 671 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I don't know four. I 672 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 2: don't have the answer. I'm just saying they are They're 673 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 2: definitely built more to come from behind than they are 674 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 2: to hold a lead. I mean they can't run. They 675 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 2: can't run. I mean, so I think what you're saying 676 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 2: is like, mentally, they don't do it. They did. I mean, 677 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 2: in my opinion, if they had won the game, they 678 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 2: would have stolen it from the Dolphins. I don't think 679 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 2: they were better than Miami and the If they go 680 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 2: and they get that touchdown and take the lead and 681 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 2: then somehow something fluky happens, miss the field goal, they 682 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 2: fumble whatever, I think the Cowboys steal that win. I 683 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: don't think it makes them a better road team or whatever. 684 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 2: I mean, they just kind of are what they are. 685 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 10: And do you see them coming out of the first round. 686 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because I I think that I don't necessarily 687 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 2: think and I'm gonna do the math on this, I 688 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: don't think there is this night and day difference in 689 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 2: how they play at home in the road. I don't 690 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 2: think that's the difference on how they play. I think 691 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 2: the difference is is who they play on the road 692 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: and at home. And if you just and I'm gonna 693 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this, I mean, you guys could do 694 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 2: it too. I mean for tomorrow show. But I'm just 695 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: gonna it's something that you wanted to look at. 696 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 3: Just they have. 697 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 2: This is the winning percentage of the teams they're playing. 698 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 2: And this is not an excuse, it's just to look forward. 699 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 2: I think when they are playing teams that they can beat, 700 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 2: I think that they they will win. But I don't 701 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,959 Speaker 2: think they're better than than than the Dolphins. They weren't 702 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 2: in that game. Definitely not better then you know, then 703 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 2: Philly that that day, or of course the forty nine ers. 704 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 2: They just don't think that they're better Buffalo Buffalo, they weren't. 705 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 2: Definitely weren't better either. Buffalo knew how to play a 706 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 2: game like that. They knew how to adjust. The Cowboys 707 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: just didn't. 708 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 10: And that you think they can get out of the 709 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 10: second round, Well yeah. 710 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: I mean, okay, who were playing? Where? What happened in 711 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 2: the first game? Did Dak play great? 712 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 3: Did he not? 713 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 2: Did they get turnovers? His hankins back? 714 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 3: You know? 715 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just saying this is why it's hard 716 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 2: to play this game. About who are they playing? Who 717 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 2: is in the second round? You know, I mean, you 718 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 2: could be the five seed, go to Tampa, beat Tampa, Namaskus. 719 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 2: Do you think they could get out of the second round. 720 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 10: I guess you're right. It depends on who's playing. I 721 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 10: think they can beat Tampa. I think they can Pete 722 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 10: whoever is coming out of the South. I don't know 723 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 10: who is going to be in the second round. If 724 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 10: they had to play Philadelphia again, you'll take that at Philly. 725 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 10: I don't know what they would do. 726 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 2: You would take that when't you over any anything else? 727 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you would take at Philly over 728 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: four on the road, or even Detroit. 729 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 11: On the road. 730 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 3: You know, Detroit. 731 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 10: I think they can beat Detroit. Detroit. I think they 732 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 10: can make golf. I think if they can get the pressure, 733 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 10: they can get to golf. It's just they got to 734 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 10: get the line back to going together. And next year 735 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 10: they really got to repass that line. Tyro Smith needs 736 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 10: to go. He's a Hall of Famer, but he's always injured. 737 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 10: He does does you no good on the bench. Zach 738 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 10: Martin is getting up there in age. They need to 739 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 10: really put together that line. And they also need a 740 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 10: bruiser as a running back. 741 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well it's hey, Chris Beam just pointed out here, 742 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 2: can Philly win the first game? I mean, you know, 743 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 2: the NFC kind of is getting hit in the mouth 744 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 2: a little bit here and and it's it's wide open. 745 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 2: That's the thing. It's wide open. 746 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 10: But I don't think anyone's beating San Francisco though, well, 747 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 10: I mean, they got on both sides of the ball. 748 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 2: Watch football last night. I mean, I mean, I understand 749 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 2: that not everyone's Baltimore, but I mean that I've all 750 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 2: seen a team like Denver come in and beat the 751 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 2: Cowboys and the kind of shake things up a little bit, 752 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 2: and then they're really not the same. We'll see. Everyone's 753 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 2: been waiting for Rock Party to have a four interception 754 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 2: type game and lose like that, and it happened. They'll 755 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 2: bounce back. But thanks for the call, Jeremy. Good stuff. 756 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 2: I can hear the frustration there. What's the team gonna do? 757 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 2: And I go back to last year because last year 758 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 2: they couldn't have entered the playoffs in any worse shape 759 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 2: than losing that they did in Washington. Wasn't just a 760 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 2: loss to Sam Howe in Washington. It was just the 761 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 2: way they played. It was just terrible. It was like this, 762 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 2: this is bad. Hopefully they'll turn it on from the playoffs. 763 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 2: And they did. They did everyone but Maher turned it 764 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 2: on in Tampa and it was an amazing game. And 765 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 2: then they went to San Francisco and you felt different 766 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 2: about it. And they played, they were playing, and they 767 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 2: had a shot there, and then of course Pollard gets hurt, 768 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,919 Speaker 2: and I think that changed everything. They still had their chances, 769 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 2: they just didn't win. They weren't. They weren't good enough 770 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 2: to win that game. So I think you just got 771 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 2: they have to figure out a way to get some 772 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 2: momentum for them their confidence, not yours, not mine, not 773 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: anyone else's. And I can't harp on that enough. So 774 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 2: I get it. I mean, and I go back to 775 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 2: and I know y'all don't care, but I'm just saying, 776 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 2: if you would have thought we're here in Dallas, of 777 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 2: how the Texas Rangers entered the playoffs, you're like, oh God, 778 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 2: they're not going to hardly win anything. They're not very good, 779 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 2: and they're definitely not good on the road, and they 780 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 2: never lost a game at all, and they will swin 781 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 2: and swept the whole road and won the World Series. 782 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what we think, matters what they think in 783 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 2: that locker room or clubhouse or whatever, figure out a 784 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 2: way to turn it on. And that's what Mike McCarthy's 785 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 2: job is, to figure out how to do it. They 786 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 2: don't have to be a great road team in the 787 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 2: regular season, but when whoever they're facing right there, are 788 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 2: they good enough to win? And that's where I think yes, 789 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: when you look at this game, it's not a moral 790 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 2: victory or anything like that. They had a chance to win, 791 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 2: they didn't win. But are they good enough to go 792 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,720 Speaker 2: on the road whoever they have to play, face whatever 793 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 2: challenge they have to face and win And I think 794 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 2: they can. I think they can do it based off 795 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 2: of what we've seen, how good we think that they are. 796 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 2: Can they can they win? Can they be in the 797 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 2: final five to ten minutes of the game. Then it's 798 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 2: up to them to go make the play and maybe 799 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 2: maybe they will, maybe they won't. All right, Jose in 800 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 2: Minnesota is our next caller? 801 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 9: Yes, Hello, are you there? 802 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: I'm here?

I had to 811 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 2: go back and look on this state to make sure 812 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 2: we have some Minnesota. I think we had one, but 813 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 2: this is this like our second one for sure, So 814 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 2: it's not a state that's represented a lot. 815 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, we have a lot of fans here. 816 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 4: I mean a lot of. 817 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 9: Spanish people who lived out in South Texas move up 818 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 9: up here. But yeah, but yeah, I just you know, 819 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 9: and you might have already pointed this out while I 820 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 9: was on hold, but you know, uh, what happened with 821 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 9: the left tackle. There was a couple of plays where 822 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 9: the guy just flew by there another point as well 823 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 9: as you know, and again you probably touched it. I 824 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 9: but you know, if we make it to the playoffs, 825 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 9: how are we going to get there if we don't 826 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 9: play you know, lights out? Because the way that we 827 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 9: played against Philly was like that's absolutely amazing. 828 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 3: And you know, we do we do get a. 829 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 9: Little emotional, especially on you know Twitter, you know, I 830 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 9: see everyone you and everybody else on the you know, 831 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 9: the writing staff that people just go crazy and you know, 832 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 9: we're is tired of losing, you know, and a lot 833 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 9: of people say you know, I'm tired of hearing your complaints. Like, yo, man, 834 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 9: I'm tired of losing. You know, last time we won 835 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 9: a super Bowl, you know, with nineteen ninety five seasons. 836 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 9: So yeah, that's really all I got. 837 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 2: All right, all right, appreciate that. And that's just a 838 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 2: different mindset, you know what. I mean that to me, 839 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: that's not considered losing. But you know, not making the 840 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 2: super Bowl, to me is not losing. But everyone feels differently, 841 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 2: you know, the whole. If you're not first, your last. 842 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 2: So I don't, I don't you're talking to the wrong 843 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 2: person on that. I've been doing this for twenty five 844 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 2: seasons and I haven't seen a Super Bowl or an 845 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 2: NFC Championship game. So I maybe I'm not the right 846 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 2: person for that kind of sympathy because if I had 847 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 2: that mentality, I couldn't do this job. You know, I 848 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 2: couldn't have done it for twenty five years. So I'm 849 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 2: not saying my perspective, right, I'm just saying that's my perspective. 850 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 2: I've I started here s an eight and eight season 851 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 2: and then three five and eleven seasons and building here. 852 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 2: We are trying to build this, this this website and 853 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 2: build you know, the fans, and and and getting them 854 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 2: to to come back you know daily. You know, what 855 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 2: are we providing them so they can do that? You know, 856 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 2: it's not easy to do. And so my point is 857 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 2: is I look at things differently. I don't look at 858 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 2: it just in the playoffs and how they do in 859 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 2: the playoff. I take these games, I look I find 860 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 2: some things to to to make them interesting, knowing that, 861 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 2: you know, let's see how this all happens when we 862 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, and you know, if they don't, 863 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 2: they don't win, they don't go to the super Bowl. 864 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 2: I don't consider losing. I just consider it. 865 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 10: You know. 866 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 2: I'm obviously disappointing and just keeps adding and growing to 867 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 2: the the drought, if you will. But you know, I 868 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 2: look for the silver lines. Maybe that's just that's just 869 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 2: what I have to do to kind of do this 870 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 2: thing every day. But I'm not telling you how to 871 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 2: how to be a fan. I mean what works for 872 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 2: you all was what works jose you said you Yeah, 873 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 2: we did talk about Tuma obviously on left tackle, and 874 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 2: he just I mean he needed help. I mean I 875 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 2: thought they were two guys short on Chubb to block. 876 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 2: I thought he would need two guys to block, and 877 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 2: they at times thought zero and that that cost them. 878 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 2: George and Miami last caller of the day. 879 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 11: George Kello, Nick first time caller. 880 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 2: How are you doing? 881 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 3: Thank you? 882 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 2: All right? 883 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 11: My opinion is, and I've been watching this for quite 884 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 11: a long time and now it's easier said than done, 885 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 11: but this team needs to build in the trenches, whether 886 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 11: it's offensive line, defensive line, and you win championships in 887 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 11: the trenches. I remember Jimmy Johnson I was saying that 888 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 11: that's my biggest beef with this team. It seems like 889 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 11: when the game is on, especially the defensive, we just 890 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 11: cannot seem to release stuff these people, And that's my 891 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,840 Speaker 11: biggest beef for the last few years. 892 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean, that's you're right, inside 893 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 2: out is how it works. And you know they're not 894 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 2: they're not strong enough to make these plays when they 895 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 2: need to go score and punch it in from the one. 896 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 2: Not only are they not running it in, but then 897 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 2: later in the game they're not even trying to run in. 898 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 2: I mean kind of get the sense that when they 899 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 2: had a ten yard sacket's like, well, this will help 900 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,479 Speaker 2: them score, and they did. They can't just they can't 901 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 2: just push their way in and they're getting pushed back. 902 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 2: It's not a good combination. 903 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 11: I hardly agree with that. That's where it needs to 904 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 11: start in my opinion. That's that's where championships are won. 905 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 11: And it's frustrating. I agree, Tyrun's got to go and 906 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 11: you better get a better anchor, some really big hobs 907 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 11: in the middle of that flye. 908 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's a good start. Thanks for the call, 909 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 2: but let's also Kevin another point. No, sorry, Kevin, one 910 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 2: more point no, no, no, that's it, thank you, sir, 911 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 2: thank you. You know real quick though, when you look 912 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 2: at this team, you know, it starts. It starts within, 913 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 2: as you know, the trenches and all that. If you 914 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 2: look at that, they don't. They're not not doing that. 915 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 2: I mean they they drafted Mazzi Smith in their mind, 916 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 2: drafting a defensive tackle twenty sixth overall, like this is 917 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 2: gonna show up there defensive line immediately. Hasn't been the case. 918 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 2: They drafted Tyler Smith the year before that to shore 919 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 2: up guard position immediately and then eventually left tackle. You know, 920 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 2: they drafted Micah Parsons. They didn't really think that he 921 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 2: was a pass prusher just yet. You know, that was 922 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 2: kind of from a linebacker standpoint. Ceedee Land the year 923 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 2: before or that, and then Tristan Hill defensive tackle in 924 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 2: the second round it didn't work out either. So it's 925 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 2: not like they're not using resources to that. They got 926 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 2: to be better at it. And this team's drafted well, 927 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 2: but obviously they got to be better at that. I mean, 928 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 2: so I think that they know the issue, you know, 929 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 2: continuing to draft on the offensive line, and this year 930 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 2: they made a rare splash a defensive tackle and it 931 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 2: is so far hasn't hasn't worked. It hasn't worked. He 932 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 2: hasn't been the difference maker that they obviously thought he 933 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 2: would be. But you're not wrong, and you're and there's 934 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 2: a lot of callers. I thought that the offensive line, 935 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 2: defensive line right there in the center, that's been the problem. 936 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 2: They're getting pushed around on defense and they're not doing 937 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 2: enough pushing on offense. And that's just a bad combination, 938 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 2: especially when you're about to face some teams in the playoffs, 939 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 2: so that the teams that are there are the teams 940 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 2: that are probably pretty good at doing that. Detroit is 941 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 2: one of them. We're obviously talking about them a little 942 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 2: bit more in the week. All right, Thanks for everyone 943 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 2: for for calling today. Appreciate you guys coming back and 944 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 2: sharing your your thoughts and your frustrations. I get it. 945 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 2: Tough loss, but you know what, Cowboys still have some 946 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 2: football ahead of them. We'll see what they do with 947 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,800 Speaker 2: the opportunity. All right. For Chris By, I'm Nick Eatman. 948 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 2: We will see you tomorrow on Cowboys Storyline. See you. 949 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 950 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
