Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubs. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a Break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah? And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 1: December seventeenth, twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, Episode number one oh one.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of The Break. We are live
Speaker 1: from the s WBC Mortgage studios at the start, and
Speaker 1: it's a Tuesday, so we've got a lot of different
Speaker 1: conversations we want to get into. But really what I
Speaker 1: want to do today is I want to get an
Speaker 1: opportunity for fans to chime in and tell us what
Speaker 1: they think. Our big overall topic today is going to
Speaker 1: be around how much are you buying what you saw
Speaker 1: on Sunday? And we talked a little bit about it yesterday.
Speaker 1: I wanted to save the conversation because I think there
Speaker 1: are lots of ways that you could look at this,
Speaker 1: but I want to get into that. So if you
Speaker 1: guys have some opinions on that and want to tell
Speaker 1: us what your thoughts are on this team and have
Speaker 1: your opinions changed of this team since you watched that
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, Give us a call. The numbers eight
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven again
Speaker 1: it is eight eight eight eight five five two two
Speaker 1: nine seven. We got our crew here. Danny's joining us,
Speaker 1: as she does every Tuesday. Of course, Dave and Nick
Speaker 1: are telling us. I'm sure they're tweeting some great information
Speaker 1: for tweeting the show for the fans. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. You're welcome. So let's first start what, oh,
Speaker 1: go ahead? Sure? Yeah, alright, let's first start with where
Speaker 1: everything stands. Obviously, Cowboys Eagles tied deadlocked seven and seven,
Speaker 1: top the NFC East. This weekend's game means everything for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. If they get the win, they clinch the
Speaker 1: NFC East. For the Eagles, if they get the win,
Speaker 1: they can't clinch. But the Cowboys would have to win
Speaker 1: their final game against Washington and Philly would have to
Speaker 1: lose their final game at New York for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: to back into the playoffs. Tell me, let's start that
Speaker 1: that discussion. Well, how much do you guys believe in
Speaker 1: what you saw on Sunday. I want to believe, but
Speaker 1: I don't believe that this team has consistency. They've done
Speaker 1: nothing to prove that they have that consistency since Week
Speaker 1: three when they beat three of the worst teams in
Speaker 1: the league. So as much as I want to believe
Speaker 1: that this is going to create momentum, and I've said that,
Speaker 1: I think this team is talented, so it's not surprising
Speaker 1: that they had a game like this, but I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that I believe this is something they can continue.
Speaker 1: Give me a high five. Took the words right out
Speaker 1: of my mouth. Literally, I couldn't. I can't add to it.
Speaker 1: It was perfect, said it perfect. Nick, Well there, but
Speaker 1: they're playing bad teams and so one thing we have
Speaker 1: seen is that typically you know, when they're playing a
Speaker 1: bad team, they've they played their best. The Jets isn'tption
Speaker 1: to the rule there. So, um, it's good that they
Speaker 1: beat a team that is pretty good, I guess in
Speaker 1: the rams. So it's out there. At least you know
Speaker 1: it's out there because that kept saying we believe in
Speaker 1: it because we know we can do it, but we're
Speaker 1: over here, like, well, when I mean, when have you
Speaker 1: done it? So now now that they've done it. I
Speaker 1: mean that that's that's something to kind of build off of.
Speaker 1: But like Danny said, they haven't proven that they can
Speaker 1: do that, you know, a game to game, so we'll see.
Speaker 1: I mean, but they're playing a bad team. The Eagles
Speaker 1: are bad, so they should be they should be able
Speaker 1: to win the game. So what are the most if
Speaker 1: you go ahead, Okay, y'all, y'all were awesome. If you guys,
Speaker 1: if you guys have to go back and think about
Speaker 1: that game from the standpoint, like break it down in
Speaker 1: different components, different parts, different parts of the team, different
Speaker 1: moments in the game. What do you think were the
Speaker 1: things that they did that were most impressive and most
Speaker 1: important for them to continue to do in future games
Speaker 1: if they're gonna get wins. I'll give you some examples.
Speaker 1: Maybe you say it was the offensive line, the running
Speaker 1: backs and their ability to really be able to stop
Speaker 1: wish to run. Maybe you say it was the offensive
Speaker 1: play calling. Maybe you would say the secondary played outstanding.
Speaker 1: What was that thing in this game that you think
Speaker 1: that you would point to and say that was a
Speaker 1: critical part of their game that's been missing that they
Speaker 1: have to continue. They stopped the run, defense, well, I
Speaker 1: mean defense in general, but they stopped a good rushing
Speaker 1: game and a good running back and maybe Todd Gurley's
Speaker 1: not what he once was, that's fair to debate, but
Speaker 1: I mean lesser guys than that. How many times last
Speaker 1: week did Nick say Bo Scarborough gave them fits like
Speaker 1: lesser players and lesser offensive lines have wrecked them in
Speaker 1: the past. And they kicked butt which not like I
Speaker 1: don't take anything new away from what we saw on offense, honestly,
Speaker 1: like we've seen him do that countless times. The other
Speaker 1: thing on stopping the run was they didn't let Golf
Speaker 1: become mobile. He's not the most mobile quarterback, but we've
Speaker 1: seen that all season of quarterbacks who don't run a
Speaker 1: lot can run all over this team, and they didn't
Speaker 1: let him do that. Yeah, I think for me, though,
Speaker 1: as good as that is, I would just say the
Speaker 1: offensive line really just kind of imposing themselves on the rams,
Speaker 1: say we're gonna, we're gonna run the ball, we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna knock you off the ball, We're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do what we do. And that's what Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett and then preach all the time about we do
Speaker 1: what we do and it's like, well, that's good until
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, and then what But it worked and
Speaker 1: it kept working and they didn't even have to throw
Speaker 1: the ball to the receiver as much. So I thought
Speaker 1: that was the best part of it, was that we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a great front and the best football defensive
Speaker 1: player in the NFL and we're gonna knock him off
Speaker 1: the ball. So so let's take that with you. Guys
Speaker 1: mentioned offensive line, you mentioned the defense, particularly stopping the run.
Speaker 1: Let's say those two components continue to play at that level.
Speaker 1: How far do you think this team can go? Will
Speaker 1: you win the Super Bowl if you if you if
Speaker 1: you stop the run and you run the ball, and
Speaker 1: you win both sides of the ball. Seriously, you don't.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying if the Cowboys and the next
Speaker 1: in every game that they play, if they donate both
Speaker 1: sides of the line of scrimmage, they're gonna win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl unless you have like three or four crazy turnovers.
Speaker 1: Do you think they can do that though against better
Speaker 1: quality opponents, Well, I don't think you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: better quality front than that. On defense, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: knocking a guy off the ball and just creating lanes
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Like if they can do it
Speaker 1: against the Rams, they can probably. I mean the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers might give them some problems there. That's the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers have a lot of talent up front.
Speaker 1: They didn't we saw. I mean, we watched the Saints front.
Speaker 1: Whoop their ass's watched that. That's what I'm saying. There's
Speaker 1: some there's some some teams that they would have to
Speaker 1: play in the playoffs that have comparable, we'd say, at
Speaker 1: least comparable defensive fronts to what the Rams have. I
Speaker 1: know I've been saying it a lot, but I think
Speaker 1: it was probably clear in this game that like, when
Speaker 1: you want to run the football, this is your best five.
Speaker 1: I mean, Sue Philo is a better run blocker in
Speaker 1: my opinion than Connor Williams. And that's what that's what
Speaker 1: they've kind of needed. Now, he'll he doesn't have those
Speaker 1: quick feet like Connor Williams does, and he might get
Speaker 1: beat a little bit, you know, up the field, you know,
Speaker 1: in past protection. But I think I think this is
Speaker 1: their best five, and I think it's better than it
Speaker 1: was against the Saint because I don't believe Zach Martin
Speaker 1: was as healthy as he is right now. I would
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, and I thought Zach played
Speaker 1: great the other day and it certainly seems like he's
Speaker 1: healthier than he has been. If they get that effort
Speaker 1: from both sides of the ball, I mean, this is elementary, Like,
Speaker 1: if they get that effort from both sides of the ball,
Speaker 1: they can beat anybody in the league. But at this point,
Speaker 1: their inconsistency is part of their DNA, like that is
Speaker 1: who they have proven to be to this point, and
Speaker 1: crazier things have happened. But I assume that they cannot
Speaker 1: get that level of effort from both sides of the
Speaker 1: ball four times in a row, which is what it
Speaker 1: would take. So and it's not just game to game
Speaker 1: this year to this franchise, it's been year to year, consistency,
Speaker 1: year to year. When's the last time they won two
Speaker 1: NFC East two years in a row. I believe it's
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. Yeah, sorry, they want it
Speaker 1: last year and they're going to win it on Sunday. Okay, Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: that's point. Okay. I was like, yes, And then that
Speaker 1: whole span of three years before that too, But I
Speaker 1: mean they haven't been a team that that kind of
Speaker 1: you know, carries their own success to the next year.
Speaker 1: So here we are. That's and and that's I mean,
Speaker 1: and again that's are you encouraged or are you frustrated?
Speaker 1: Because where has that been all year? And why to
Speaker 1: Danny's point that she made at the top of the show,
Speaker 1: like why should I have faith that you could put
Speaker 1: that together four times in a row against better teams?
Speaker 1: By the way, like the Rams are the best team
Speaker 1: they've beaten all year. They are not the best team
Speaker 1: they'll see in the playoff. They would see in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I guess I can't just assume they'll be there. But
Speaker 1: that I mean, the Rams are eight and six now, right,
Speaker 1: and you're taught. I mean, do you realize how like
Speaker 1: a twelve or thirteen win team is probably going to
Speaker 1: miss out on a buy in the NFC this year,
Speaker 1: Like Green Bay, New Orleans, at San Francisco and Seattle
Speaker 1: all are going to finish with twelve or thirteen wins,
Speaker 1: And a twelve or eleven or twelve win team is
Speaker 1: gonna gonna go on the road. Yeah, right too, probably
Speaker 1: like the Vikings, A lot of teams are playing each other,
Speaker 1: like the Vikings and the and the Packers played this weekend.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I know, Seattle and San Francisco I
Speaker 1: think seven team. Yeah, so a lot of teams are
Speaker 1: gonna play each other, so somebody has to lose, right right,
Speaker 1: But but yeah, even I mean, Minnesota's gonna finish with
Speaker 1: like a minimum, They've got ten wins. Seattle's already got eleven,
Speaker 1: San Francisco's got I think eleven. The Saints just won
Speaker 1: their twelfth game last night, or a lot. It's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of really impressive records. So what's going to
Speaker 1: happen is so the Cowboys instead of get into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: I believe the last game of the year is the
Speaker 1: Saint is the forty nine Ers and Seahawks. That just
Speaker 1: screams like nighttime week Yeah, so that means the Cowboys
Speaker 1: will play at noon Washington, you know, get that game
Speaker 1: over with. They're gonna sit there, yeah, until the end
Speaker 1: of the night, and probably the loser of that game
Speaker 1: is soho you face right most So that that would
Speaker 1: be you know, first world problem right there. If you
Speaker 1: have to wait like eight hours to find out who
Speaker 1: your team is. If you can get into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: better than better than getting flex to nighttime, losing that
Speaker 1: game and then having to you know, if you're San Francisco,
Speaker 1: like fly back to San Francisco so you can get
Speaker 1: ready for a road trip to play a team with
Speaker 1: a much worse record than you. Probably on a Saturday night,
Speaker 1: maybe yeacause we've had some Saturday nights stuff. You don't
Speaker 1: have any weddings weddings, although I did. I told my
Speaker 1: friends that if the Cowboys play on their anniversary, I
Speaker 1: will wear my tuxedo again. Make it a tradition at
Speaker 1: the at the game. It worked last year. Yeah, that's right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was interesting last night. Is it white No,
Speaker 1: it's as I think there could be some white out?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if they end up there will be a
Speaker 1: little bit and maybe jumping all the way to wild.
Speaker 1: We aren't, but it is interesting. Last night we had
Speaker 1: our annual Christmas party, and there were a number of
Speaker 1: times throughout the night when I was either involved in
Speaker 1: conversations or I heard conversations where people are saying everything
Speaker 1: from well, why not the Cowboys right all the way
Speaker 1: to man, why is it? Why is this game even
Speaker 1: being like what's the point, you know, And it's I
Speaker 1: think it really is what fans are out there saying,
Speaker 1: like they're saying, yeah, it's kind of what you said
Speaker 1: about are you frustrated or are you encouraged? You know,
Speaker 1: you can take it two ways, and that game gives
Speaker 1: you every reason to go both ways. And people are
Speaker 1: all over the map on this. Well, but not at
Speaker 1: Christmas parties where there's some flowing you know, alcohol going on,
Speaker 1: and that's where you're going to be encouraged, like well
Speaker 1: why not? Well yeah, of course, but there were also
Speaker 1: there were also plenty that were like, what's the point.
Speaker 1: I think that's how most people feel. It's the point,
Speaker 1: you know, they need to see this team beat the
Speaker 1: Egals before they have that confidence in that face they're
Speaker 1: gonna have. I don't think they're gonna have it even
Speaker 1: after that. They would have to see that first win
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I think at least some of the
Speaker 1: people I've been talking to maybe that is not going
Speaker 1: to sell them on the fact that this team is
Speaker 1: ready to take the next step. All that's gonna say
Speaker 1: is Okay, like Nick said, they can be a bad team,
Speaker 1: they can back to the play well not even really
Speaker 1: back in. But they can get into the playoffs, and
Speaker 1: then what's gonna happen when they face one of these
Speaker 1: teams you just finished saying it's gonna have ten, eleven,
Speaker 1: twelve wins. What are you gonna do? Then? All I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and you're right there, I mean, especially inside the organization
Speaker 1: where you live this every day and the fans that
Speaker 1: have been doing this for ten, fifteen, twenty twenty five years. Yes,
Speaker 1: but if they go up to Philly and spank the Eagles,
Speaker 1: they are going to be the talk of the league
Speaker 1: in terms of like, nobody wants to play these guys.
Speaker 1: Bank the Eagles does change, the first take is gonna
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, oh, is anybody hotter than the Cowboys?
Speaker 1: And it won't matter that the Eagles aren't that good
Speaker 1: because it's the Dallas Cowboys, and there will be the
Speaker 1: bandwagon will be crowded if they go up there and play. Well,
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying until you figure out who they're
Speaker 1: playing the first round the playoffs, and then I think
Speaker 1: everybody kind of comes back down a bit. But you're right,
Speaker 1: I do think you I mean, you get two games
Speaker 1: in a row with the Cowboys spank their opponent, and
Speaker 1: one of them is to win the division. You're right,
Speaker 1: I do think that changes some people's opinions. So let's
Speaker 1: say that happens. What are you doing in week seventeen?
Speaker 1: You gotta go balls to the wall. And I'm the guy.
Speaker 1: I'm the guy that says restie, You're very much that guy.
Speaker 1: You gotta go balls to the wall going. First of all,
Speaker 1: you haven't no offense, guys, I know you're playing through
Speaker 1: injuries and stuff like you haven't earned the right to
Speaker 1: get that rest. Like this is a better team than
Speaker 1: their record suggests like, and you need to stay in
Speaker 1: the routine of like I don't. I haven't seen anything
Speaker 1: to suggest that you can afford to take a week
Speaker 1: off and still play well. But I think there's a medium,
Speaker 1: Like there is a you can take the week off,
Speaker 1: there's also you can play all the way. I think
Speaker 1: there is a happy medium that we've seen Jason Garrett employee,
Speaker 1: which is you prepare all week like you're gonna play,
Speaker 1: You play the first half, and then you sit all
Speaker 1: your guys down, or some of your guys down. So
Speaker 1: that's what I would probably like. Somebody in Philly is
Speaker 1: going to clip this off, and they're already thinking, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just speculating. We are just a speculating though. I
Speaker 1: think which one of you guys, somebody has already said
Speaker 1: they're going to spank the Eagles. I believe. I believe
Speaker 1: in my bones that they're going to win this game,
Speaker 1: because that's what they do. They beat the East. Dak
Speaker 1: is eighteen and four against the NFC East. The Eagles
Speaker 1: are trotting out practice squad player as a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I just they should win this game, and they might not.
Speaker 1: They're not consistent, to Danny's point, but they should win.
Speaker 1: The one thing they do is beat the NFC East.
Speaker 1: That is the one thing that they're consistent. They are
Speaker 1: undefeated against the East this year. They kicked the East's
Speaker 1: butt last year. Jason Garrett has a great record in
Speaker 1: the division. He's seven and two at the link. They
Speaker 1: should win this game, and I don't think I've felt
Speaker 1: more confident that they will win all year. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our first break when we come back.
Speaker 1: We want to hear from you guys. Call us eight

Speaker 1: Back to the break, Welcome Back. It's the second segment
Speaker 1: of the Great Blackness WBC Mortgage Studios at the start,
Speaker 1: which I were talking today about the Cowboys and whether
Speaker 1: you believing in what you saw as they beat the
Speaker 1: Rams forty four twenty one on Sunday. We want to
Speaker 1: hear from you guys. You can call us the numbers
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. Again
Speaker 1: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call from Casey and Denver. Casey,
Speaker 1: what up, Hi, guys. I really love the show, So
Speaker 1: I'll just make my point real quick. So I did
Speaker 1: kind of think the Cowboys were going to blow out
Speaker 1: the Rams and many lose for the Eagles, like close
Speaker 1: game and then get deep in the Redskins just because
Speaker 1: I was playing. Their seasons has been going. So I'd
Speaker 1: love to see the Cowboys actually go when a close
Speaker 1: game versus silly because they haven't done that whole season.
Speaker 1: So yeah, flying up and hear what you guys have
Speaker 1: to say about That's all right, thanks. That's a good
Speaker 1: point because you know, that's something that I've said a
Speaker 1: couple of times is this team does not have a
Speaker 1: second half comeback when they haven't been down in the
Speaker 1: second half and won any of those games. So it's
Speaker 1: good to have a good start and jump out early,
Speaker 1: but you want to you want to have a confidence
Speaker 1: that you can go and do that and make the
Speaker 1: clutch plays and we haven't seen that so far, so
Speaker 1: that would yeah, if if you could draw it up
Speaker 1: anyway you want, I mean, yeah, it would be nice
Speaker 1: to blow out the Eagles, but I think a close
Speaker 1: win I got check type of win is it would
Speaker 1: be very important to have kudos to him for thinking
Speaker 1: they were gonna beat the Rams. He's not. There aren't
Speaker 1: a lot of people that thought that the number one
Speaker 1: homer didn't. I mean, Michael Irvine even, yeah, Michael Irvin
Speaker 1: picked against them. Yeah, that's what I was like. Wow,
Speaker 1: But if you hear what he said, I mean, what
Speaker 1: he's saying really is that's what the Cowboys typically do
Speaker 1: is with a game where you count them out, is
Speaker 1: when they show up and then when they get you
Speaker 1: all excited like Okay, we're gonna about to do something,
Speaker 1: then they kind of dash your hopes and dreams. Right.
Speaker 1: That's what he's kind of getting to is he's expecting
Speaker 1: them to necessarily, he was expecting them to win last week,
Speaker 1: and then once everybody's hype like they are now, then
Speaker 1: it's filling right. I bet he's not going to pick
Speaker 1: come to lose to the Eagles thought, not the way
Speaker 1: they beat them. I mean not the way they beat
Speaker 1: the Rams. It field have been a close game. Maybe.
Speaker 1: I just think most people now are starting to think
Speaker 1: they can at least beat a team like the Eagles
Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs, especially and you hit the
Speaker 1: nail on the head, especially because they don't have their
Speaker 1: full compliment of players, Like their wide receiver position isn't
Speaker 1: mass unit right now, so without their full compliment, you
Speaker 1: would think that should be a little bit easier for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But it is the NFL. Anything can happen
Speaker 1: on any given sun to a strange lady. We'll take
Speaker 1: a call from Thomas in Kansas City. Thomas, what up?
Speaker 1: How I enjoyed the show? Actually it's Thomas in Mississippi, Mississippi.
Speaker 1: What's up? That's all right? They had two points. I
Speaker 1: enjoyed the show. First point, I'm not believing until they
Speaker 1: beat Silly they must be Filly convincingly. My second point,
Speaker 1: I Nick been saying this for these two years about
Speaker 1: the office and Land. I think he's right, and I
Speaker 1: watched this game to feel it ill strong and yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Nick missed. Is also about a change. If
Speaker 1: one league is weak, whole chang is league. So I
Speaker 1: think we're full filling the line. This change strong. So
Speaker 1: when they steel it, I'm convinced, go cowboy, thank you
Speaker 1: all right? Thanks? Okay, like quick points and especially when
Speaker 1: you agree with me, I like it. Um, you know
Speaker 1: it's not that. And the people have said, well you
Speaker 1: hate Connor Williams, Well you can't like one player and
Speaker 1: then the other one. It's like you hate no. I
Speaker 1: just I kind of think Connor Williams is probably more
Speaker 1: of a tackle. I think, um, not sure where you
Speaker 1: would play though, you just locked up your two tackles
Speaker 1: or your two tackles are locked up for a while,
Speaker 1: so he needs to, you know, I guess play it
Speaker 1: at a guard spot. But I just think to a
Speaker 1: filo is better. And I think for what they really
Speaker 1: need to play with Zeke and to not have a fullback.
Speaker 1: Remember they don't have a lead fullback, so you gotta
Speaker 1: have as strong affront as you possibly can to knock
Speaker 1: people off the ball. Nik looked pretty good at fullback
Speaker 1: the other day. That's true. I mean prefer to have
Speaker 1: him with the ball. They gonna happen often. But I
Speaker 1: would say something interesting on one off. I threw the
Speaker 1: fan this morning. Jerry Jones was asked about what he
Speaker 1: sees the identity of this team, because that was said
Speaker 1: a lot after the game of getting the identity back?
Speaker 1: What's the DNA of this team? And his answer was
Speaker 1: the O line, And I was thinking, I think I
Speaker 1: would agree with that when you think of the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I mean, you obviously have Yeek and whatnot, but as
Speaker 1: a core, as multiple players, the OH line is what
Speaker 1: you would think of when you play the Cowboys. Follow
Speaker 1: the money, I mean, like where do they spend most
Speaker 1: of their money? If you look across this team, definitely,
Speaker 1: offensive line is the position where they've spent most of
Speaker 1: their draft capital and most of their money. So there's
Speaker 1: no doubt it should be their their identity, right. And
Speaker 1: the thing about it is is that travels that travels
Speaker 1: into into Seattle, it travels into San Francisco, it travels
Speaker 1: into domes. I mean when you're playing really well and
Speaker 1: it can knock people around. Now, they didn't play well
Speaker 1: against the Saints. I mean Saints beat him, but it's
Speaker 1: not because of the crowd and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But like, if you are physically better and can do
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do, you can play anywhere because
Speaker 1: you know that that's not something that's that you need
Speaker 1: to be all and scenk and all that. I mean,
Speaker 1: just knocked the guy back and run the ball. This
Speaker 1: is an offseason segment. But if they can get something
Speaker 1: out of Connor McGovern, you can move Connor Williams to tackle. Still,
Speaker 1: I mean probably would what tackle position? Swing? It wouldn't
Speaker 1: like people would probably be upset to have a top
Speaker 1: fifty pick playing swing tackle. But if Connor McGovern is
Speaker 1: up to the job at left guard, then that probably
Speaker 1: you know, best five, that would be your best six.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen any I mean Connor McGovern obviously he's
Speaker 1: not gonna play this year, so that's a big if.
Speaker 1: Like I said, something for the offseason, but like that
Speaker 1: could happen. I mean, in fact the matter as you say,
Speaker 1: you don't want a top fifty pick being your swing tackle,
Speaker 1: But on a team like this where Tyren Smith, who
Speaker 1: is aging, has had back issues throughout, I think you
Speaker 1: your swing tackle positions very very important. It just hinges
Speaker 1: on how good is Connor McGovern actually, and unfortunately we
Speaker 1: don't no right now. And uh, you know when you
Speaker 1: saw at the end of the game they were taking
Speaker 1: some people out the one guy, well one starter offensive
Speaker 1: lineman that was out of the game was Lyell. You know, no,
Speaker 1: that kind of comes down to who's injured the most
Speaker 1: and maybe needs a little bit more of a rest.
Speaker 1: But you know, I just think the point is is
Speaker 1: that Tyran and Lyell have been beat up this year.
Speaker 1: So you have a quality swing tackle that can play
Speaker 1: both sides. That, I mean, that's really beneficial for this team,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Let's take a call from Jerry in Philadelphia. Jerry,
Speaker 1: what up? Hey? Guys, how are you hey? I love
Speaker 1: your show? Um, I love the Cowboys like you seventy five?
Speaker 1: I really I'm excited this year. Are you going to
Speaker 1: what's that? Are going to the game? No? I don't
Speaker 1: go to the days was games up there or it's
Speaker 1: a zoo down there. Okay, that's fine. Yeah it's a
Speaker 1: it's a shame. But the atmosphere down there for anybody,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't wear anything I saw I show.
Speaker 1: You can get fights where Texas saying match. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a crazy. But I'm really excited, guys.
Speaker 1: And you know what, the way they click place week,
Speaker 1: I'm very confident, you know, and I heard you guys
Speaker 1: talking about the consistent over the years, the organization. But
Speaker 1: you know what, the way this team has built the
Speaker 1: last few years, ever since short of Stevens seem to
Speaker 1: take over Will McClay with the trade and this team
Speaker 1: is a lot different organizations. HEAs a lot different from
Speaker 1: the late nineties and you're only two thousands where we
Speaker 1: weren't consistent with signing high free agents. And I think
Speaker 1: this team is built the right way. And I don't
Speaker 1: care when they click. It's like the NHL BO if
Speaker 1: you're hot going to the playoffs and I'm excited, guys,
Speaker 1: I really think we could do some damage. And uh,
Speaker 1: I love your show, guys. I was listening every day
Speaker 1: all your shows. Um, I appreciate it. You guys do
Speaker 1: a great job. You know, I do think I agree
Speaker 1: with the part about you know, you guys said earlier
Speaker 1: you're frustrated or you encourage. You know, every team has
Speaker 1: that where has that been? All year? And sometimes it's
Speaker 1: not a good thing, you know, like San Francisco fans
Speaker 1: are like, where has that been? Like? You know, not
Speaker 1: that they were missing it, but you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that they could lose to the Falcons at home
Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. And he gets to the
Speaker 1: playoffs and you have a game that you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: Cowboys have had that, you know, Packers and kick everybody's
Speaker 1: but all through twenty sixteen, and then you're down three
Speaker 1: scores in the second quarter of your first playoff game. Sure,
Speaker 1: and I mean it's not phrased that way, but it's like,
Speaker 1: where's that been? We hadn't seen that all year, So
Speaker 1: I would rather be the other way. We're like, well,
Speaker 1: at least I'm seeing it right now as opposed to
Speaker 1: you know, kind of on the downside of it. But
Speaker 1: as Danny said, and you said, everyone has said, this
Speaker 1: isn't momentum. This is one win. You've stopped momentum. Now
Speaker 1: you have to build it by winning another one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this team is not hot because they've had one win.
Speaker 1: And I said this last week that even if they
Speaker 1: went out, I'm not sure how much that momentum truly
Speaker 1: helps you in a playoff push because you look at
Speaker 1: the team, their last teams that they're playing, I mean,
Speaker 1: besides the Rims, but I don't know how much that
Speaker 1: would help. I think what will create them getting momentum
Speaker 1: or becoming hot is they just have to blow the
Speaker 1: Eagles out of the water, and then they have to
Speaker 1: do this in the next week on the Redskins. I
Speaker 1: think what does help them is if they actually are
Speaker 1: rounding into form. That's really the more important thing is
Speaker 1: and that's why I started the show talking about the
Speaker 1: different components of that game that you thought they played
Speaker 1: really well, that maybe they hadn't been doing before. And
Speaker 1: I think that's the part. If they got those things
Speaker 1: shored up, then it does build momentum because it builds
Speaker 1: confidence in those areas if you're off. We all agree
Speaker 1: the offensive line is talented, the offensive line plays up
Speaker 1: to its talent level, they can compete with anybody, right,
Speaker 1: but these haven't done it consistently. So if they start
Speaker 1: to feel like, hey, we've finally hit our groove, we're
Speaker 1: finally feeling like we're a little healthier, we find there
Speaker 1: getting the confidence where we know what plays we run well,
Speaker 1: we're confident in running those plays, whatever those things are.
Speaker 1: If they get to that point, then if they win
Speaker 1: these it really does build that momentum. But if not,
Speaker 1: then all you're doing is just building a house of cards,
Speaker 1: because once you get the playoffs, you get to these
Speaker 1: good teams. It's gonna all be exposed. I think back
Speaker 1: to the beginning of the season when they were three
Speaker 1: and oh against these bad, bad teams, and that didn't
Speaker 1: do anything for them for the rest season. So why
Speaker 1: would I think that that would be different. Now, I
Speaker 1: was actually going to bring that up. And if I
Speaker 1: was looking for a reason to believe it's different, it's
Speaker 1: that Hopefully this experience has taught them some humility, right,
Speaker 1: because I mean Dak said it himself. They were smelling
Speaker 1: themselves at the start of the year, and I think
Speaker 1: the work every week, right, this is a team they
Speaker 1: know that they're talented. Like I could keep saying they're talented.
Speaker 1: They know they're talented too, And I get this sense
Speaker 1: definitely when they were three and o and trying to
Speaker 1: figure that where they're like, oh, yeah, we got this,
Speaker 1: and even you know, you lose three games in a
Speaker 1: row and you're like, oh, what the hell's going on?
Speaker 1: But then you win two in a row and you're
Speaker 1: back to like, Okay, we're good. We're good. Hopefully they
Speaker 1: don't feel like they're good. Hopefully this experience has taught them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it is about the work, and this has
Speaker 1: been we said it last week. This is like the
Speaker 1: worst that they they've been at winning on Wednesday, Thursday
Speaker 1: and Friday. Like tip. You know, we always give Garrett
Speaker 1: so much credit for having them prepared no matter what,
Speaker 1: has it really been the case this year and hopefully
Speaker 1: they get back to that and hopefully that was all
Speaker 1: a learning experience that will help them stay focused. For
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, all right, we'll take our
Speaker 1: final break. We'll come back. We'll get some more calls.
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven

Speaker 1: my goal today. Good for you coming off the party
Speaker 1: last night. I wanted to you didn't want to put
Speaker 1: any effort into your rundown. No, we wanted to listen
Speaker 1: to the fans to know that's cool. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Oh are you doing Tallahassee? Yeah, where we're going. That's
Speaker 1: where we're going to Tallahassee. Walter, what you got? I'm
Speaker 1: glad I got through Joe. Guys got through to you guys. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: down and tell her say this is where Bob he's
Speaker 1: with the school, and where Nate Newt with the school.
Speaker 1: And that's our connection. And they just walked fast to
Speaker 1: the window here. N Yeah. But anyway, what I want
Speaker 1: to see was I get you know, I enjoy the
Speaker 1: show and I hear all the you know, the positivity
Speaker 1: and the negativity about if we get to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: then who we played. My opinion, it doesn't matter who
Speaker 1: you play when you get there. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you go to see I don't care if you go
Speaker 1: to New Orleans a weaver. The mindset's got to be
Speaker 1: play ball. Don't matter where you go. So get to
Speaker 1: get to the dances. Be a positive fit and being danced.
Speaker 1: Don't matter where you are, Kay, be positive. And I
Speaker 1: think for the team, that's absolutely the way that they
Speaker 1: have to think about it. I'll think we have to
Speaker 1: think a little bit more about Okay, who they're playing,
Speaker 1: But go ahead, well they I mean, I love his sentiment.
Speaker 1: They don't have to go anywhere, Like, get to play
Speaker 1: it right here at home first, I mean the first
Speaker 1: he's like, He's like, well, yeah, when we win that
Speaker 1: first play I was like, way, I don't care if
Speaker 1: it's New Orleans or Seattle or grab Yeah, no, Miami's
Speaker 1: after that, after I win the championship game. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I hear you. Yeah, who would be the sixth seed
Speaker 1: right now? Probably Minnesota. Who's the fifth seed San Francisco?
Speaker 1: Right now, it's San Francisco. Yeah, because the Cowboys would
Speaker 1: play probably San Francis, right, most likely they're going to
Speaker 1: play San Francisco or or Seattle, right. Yes, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: I think that's almost a guarantee because one they play
Speaker 1: each other, so one of them is gonna win. There
Speaker 1: chance the Packers, maybe, yes, the pack If the Packers
Speaker 1: lose to the Vikings, then the NFC North is up
Speaker 1: for grabs in week seven. Tenness, we love to see
Speaker 1: the Cowboys match up with the Packers again with to
Speaker 1: come here. Now, you look at all those playoff teams,
Speaker 1: you want to see Aaron Aaron Rodgers. By the way,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is not playing like Aaron Rodgers does. Look
Speaker 1: look what he's done. I can't. I would rather I'd
Speaker 1: like to see him come back. Your opinion, I will
Speaker 1: see him come back here. I'll tell anybody your opinion. Respect.
Speaker 1: At some point I want them to exercise his demon
Speaker 1: like he's beating them to. Would you rather want to
Speaker 1: see them exercise the demons? I would rather see Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1: Give me seriously, The Vikings beat the Cowboys this year
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins played great, and I'd still rather play
Speaker 1: him than Aaron Rodgers really didn't play great. He played.
Speaker 1: I mean he's screened passed the hell out. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he had he threw a couple, he threw a great
Speaker 1: pass to Rudolph for a touchdown. Like he played a
Speaker 1: good game. I'm not saying he'd redefined the position. I
Speaker 1: want to see Aaron Rodgers come back. I want them
Speaker 1: to take actually Aaron Rodgers at ATMs as long as
Speaker 1: we were just taking the wheels off the show. I
Speaker 1: was playing with the I was playing with the ESPN
Speaker 1: Playoff machine this morning, and I was not thinking in
Speaker 1: first round, but like, if they make the playoffs, if
Speaker 1: they win the first game, they could wind up having
Speaker 1: to go to lambeau Field. I want to do that.
Speaker 1: That's possible, Okay, I don't want to go there in decent,
Speaker 1: I mean in January. I don't want to go to
Speaker 1: Green Bay and you were the last time they were
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys player, because you don't want to go
Speaker 1: up in the cold. No. I just don't like going
Speaker 1: to Green Bay and freak in January. I mean, but
Speaker 1: like I said, it's called if you got this thing
Speaker 1: rolling where you're gonna run the football, and you could
Speaker 1: run over people. You could run. That's you are built
Speaker 1: for that. You are built to go and play in
Speaker 1: a game like that. And I will say they didn't
Speaker 1: against the Bears. I mean, I get it. They didn't.
Speaker 1: They didn't play like that. But I'm just saying, if
Speaker 1: they can, if they can get that swag back where
Speaker 1: they say, all right, let's run. It really was an
Speaker 1: inside outside deal. I mean I talked to Jason Witten
Speaker 1: about it just yesterday. He was like, that's kind of
Speaker 1: what we did. It was they just went back to
Speaker 1: basics and they were like, all right, we get Pollard,
Speaker 1: get him on the edge and let him go out there.
Speaker 1: We're gonna put Deek inside. It was inside outside. But
Speaker 1: they can do that same thing at and T Stadium,
Speaker 1: like without Derek having to hang out and Wisconsin and January.
Speaker 1: I just remember when we went up there last time.
Speaker 1: We got off the plane and I'm looking around and
Speaker 1: it just looks like Rocky for It looks like we're
Speaker 1: in Russia and we're having to face this this like
Speaker 1: I just I don't want to. I love it. I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's Dave, that's funny, Like that
Speaker 1: was a funny one do you guys, weren't They didn't
Speaker 1: see Rocky for oh? I Y, yeah, yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen that one. I don't think i've seen four. You.
Speaker 1: I don't really watch a lot of movies and one. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I've seen the first two. If you can afford to
Speaker 1: get there and make it happen, like anybody that loves
Speaker 1: football should watch a game at Lambeau in the cold.
Speaker 1: I've done it cool, I know, but I'd be down
Speaker 1: to do it again. I've done it, don't need to
Speaker 1: do it again, done it a few times. Honestly. It's interesting,
Speaker 1: like if they make the playoffs again, all potential, but
Speaker 1: like it'll be a heck of a storyline either way,
Speaker 1: because I mean, it's Aaron Rodgers, it's the Niners, who
Speaker 1: they have extensive playoff history with, obviously, and it's Seahawks,
Speaker 1: who they kind of have a rivalry with at this point.
Speaker 1: So either way, don't I know that's like your favorite movie.
Speaker 1: I know it's good. It's if I'm the original movie.
Speaker 1: The Original is the best, and then if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: watch another Rocky movie, then I would watch four Crazy.
Speaker 1: Creed's better too. I've never even seen the first one,
Speaker 1: it's good. Never even seen the first one. It's I
Speaker 1: love three and I love four. I regret the opinion.
Speaker 1: I regret saying it's not that good because I forget,
Speaker 1: like Nick loves Rocky about the whole sequel. And I
Speaker 1: always loved Rocky two more than Rocky one because he won.
Speaker 1: Yeah to ruin it? You like you, oh oh, by
Speaker 1: the way you want to get into And I could
Speaker 1: just tell you a story, okay about ruining it. Ruining
Speaker 1: the movie Rocky two came out. I don't know, nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy nine, maybe I'm three years old. Movies out. He
Speaker 1: wins the next group of people, you know, the next
Speaker 1: showing at nine o'clock is there. I walked past the
Speaker 1: entire group and tell everyone. And I couldn't say my
Speaker 1: rs or my els until I was like five. I said,
Speaker 1: wakee one and that bat guy Yost and I told
Speaker 1: everyone as we watched by. Yeah, well really I had
Speaker 1: to tell them what happened. We just wanted them to
Speaker 1: know Rocky won them. I didn't know the guy's name,
Speaker 1: but no one's gonna happen. Movie was just a random
Speaker 1: black guy, black guy lost. That's yes, that's what it was. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I did not expect to be discussing Rocky two. Well,
Speaker 1: point is, point is, The point is here, and I
Speaker 1: wanted Cowboy you're taking knot, You're just easy the Rocky
Speaker 1: three story that that actually implies to this, okay. Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett twenty fifteen. Jason Garrett took the team to go
Speaker 1: see Rocky three at training camp. Okay, he thought that
Speaker 1: was real easy. Hey, guys, just tell the theater down
Speaker 1: the street. We put it Rocky three on. Well, Rocky three,
Speaker 1: he's not in the same format. We don't even have that.
Speaker 1: So they had to figure it out. They got it
Speaker 1: to work. They played. They watched Rocky three at one
Speaker 1: night at training camp, and he told the team, he said, listen,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play the Eagles in week two and in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter there gonna play the Rocky music and
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna get excited and think, hey, this is our song,
Speaker 1: this is our song. We're Rocky. And that thing happened
Speaker 1: Week two of that year. Romo got hurt. YEP, Brandon
Speaker 1: Weedon was in there. They played the song and they
Speaker 1: sat around and they're like, just like Garrett said, this
Speaker 1: is our you know, and they won the game. Whatever,
Speaker 1: but they the players remember that. I don't remember that part.
Speaker 1: I remember Brandon Weedon hit Terrence on a slant that
Speaker 1: put the game. But a couple of the players were
Speaker 1: talking about because they talked about in the locker room
Speaker 1: how Jason It had already told us way back in August.
Speaker 1: Are they gonna watch that this week? I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe play the song in the locker room, which I
Speaker 1: mentioned that at I mentioned that at the top of
Speaker 1: the show. It's pretty remarkable how good they've been in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: because I think of that as a tough place to play.
Speaker 1: The Eagles are good more often than not, and they
Speaker 1: draw so much inspiration from Rocky. Sure, yep, they really do. No,
Speaker 1: seriously they do. He is like a god there. Like
Speaker 1: they do videos before the game of Rocky. It's really crazy,
Speaker 1: like this is a fi sditional character. But I just
Speaker 1: remember maybe maybe not. I just remember Chip Kelly one
Speaker 1: year was like, this is Philly and we fight, that's
Speaker 1: what we do, and like they all lost their mind.
Speaker 1: I was like, aren't you a little bit sort of
Speaker 1: not cool with that being your reputation? Like like I
Speaker 1: know Garrett uses fight too, but he means it in
Speaker 1: a different way in Philadelphia, Like that's what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a call from Josh in Honolulu. Josh,
Speaker 1: what up? Nice? Hey, everybody, Aloha, enjoy the enjoy the
Speaker 1: show for y'all. Keeping from jumping off the stiff from
Speaker 1: week to week, UM got me off a little tangent
Speaker 1: talking about Rocky and anything like that about I snappy?
Speaker 1: Do not want to see Aaron Rodgers and that bad
Speaker 1: man coming to coming to the second and I don't
Speaker 1: believe no, but no, seriously, I'm encouraged by Sunday and
Speaker 1: half been all weeks, uh, from week to weeks out
Speaker 1: of players. But what I'm not um, what I want
Speaker 1: to see to consider to become it's from the coaches.
Speaker 1: I think one of the previous callists into that. You know,
Speaker 1: when the going gets going or the toughest going, hey,
Speaker 1: can they go back go to the going board at
Speaker 1: half time make adjustments or any game adjuftnance to overcome
Speaker 1: adentsted at halftime. And that's all I have to say
Speaker 1: in Enjoy the Top. All right. It's an interesting it's
Speaker 1: a good point. And I think Doug Peterson's a great coach.
Speaker 1: Um he you know, he's he's at the forefront of
Speaker 1: the analytics stuff. You know, he's he's he knows how
Speaker 1: to call fakes at a time when his team needs it.
Speaker 1: Um Garrett. Garrett's been good against him though. But but
Speaker 1: my point is is the I mean, the Eagles need
Speaker 1: this just as badly as the Cowboys. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: can talk about their injuries all you want. They've found
Speaker 1: ways to win their last two games. And that that
Speaker 1: is I hadn't really thought about until the caller brought
Speaker 1: it up. But like that is troubling because I mean,
Speaker 1: I think Doug Peterson's a better coach than Jason Garrett,
Speaker 1: and he's got a lot on the line in this
Speaker 1: game as well, you know, And you could probably he
Speaker 1: said the exact same thing Um on Friday, and you
Speaker 1: could have said, I think and he's got more on
Speaker 1: the line. Sure, because they did. And that's out of it.
Speaker 1: I thought. Babe Laffenberg made a really good point. Listen,
Speaker 1: criticize Garrett all you want. It's fair. It's more than
Speaker 1: well paid for it. But Babe went on Twitter, I
Speaker 1: guess last night or Sunday night and was like, like,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a word of praise for Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: for winning this game. And I know if the roles
Speaker 1: were reversed, Sean McVay would be the toast of the league.
Speaker 1: And I think that's very true. And it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's confirmation bias. Is you know, if the Cowboys do well,
Speaker 1: it's never because of Jason, and if they do poorly,
Speaker 1: it's always his fault. So he does deserve yeah, which
Speaker 1: is why you make five million dollars a year to
Speaker 1: do it. And Jason has the saying for it comes
Speaker 1: with the dinner. It comes with the dinner. Does this this?
Speaker 1: You know, that's part of being the head coach to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. He he knows that he gets it. But um,
Speaker 1: I think the caller's right. You know, they need to
Speaker 1: go and and you know see, I think that they
Speaker 1: would be in better shape if they had a battle
Speaker 1: tested win against the Eagles, one of those games that
Speaker 1: the Eagles have been winning back and forth where wins
Speaker 1: has to drive him down. I think if if that happens,
Speaker 1: I think that would be the best thing for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: As if DA's got the ball drives down the field
Speaker 1: with that broken finger of his I'm kidding, um, they're
Speaker 1: calling it Fingergate. I mean haroline fractures what they called it.
Speaker 1: I think it's a cut, is it. That's just that's
Speaker 1: what I would cut. And that's not Yes, it's it's
Speaker 1: like a difference in like pain and all that. But
Speaker 1: if you're throwing a football, I would imagine that even
Speaker 1: a cut, I mean, anything that seems kind of weird
Speaker 1: is still going to affect the throw. Doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be a fracture. I don't think it is a fracture,
Speaker 1: but I think it's I mean, he looked a little
Speaker 1: off on Sunday. He had some I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: people criticize his accuracy anyway, but he looked a little
Speaker 1: inaccurate at times, especially in the early going. Went and
Speaker 1: said I got you. Yeah, yeah, I mean he said,
Speaker 1: he said that was a bad ball on his part.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't just made a hell of a play? Garrett said,
Speaker 1: it was a great pass. Oh well that's not what
Speaker 1: they guy who threw it side. So all right, guys,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You john us. We'll be back tomorrow
Speaker 1: our normal time. We'll get into this Philadelphia offense. Dave
Speaker 1: will give us a breakdown. Nick will breakdown all the
Speaker 1: storylines that we should hit this week till then for
Speaker 1: Nick Even, Dave Hellman, Danny Surrect. I am Derek Eagelton.
