1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: This these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: All right, it's time for Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick Eatman,

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: and let's get it rolling here on this Wednesday, October

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: the eleventh, here at the Star. Of course, I say

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: it's Wednesday. You know these weird weeks where they have

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: a Monday night game. You know they're going to try

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: to tell you it's not a Wednesday. I don't even

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: know what today really is. It's kind of the bonus day.

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: Wednesday is kind of the bonus day for them that

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 3: they'll start. Tomorrow will be like a Wednesday, and Thursday

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: and then so on getting into Monday night, which you know,

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: in their mind they try to keep it on schedule.

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: So this is sort of your your extra day. They'll

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: they'll come in and I know they're going to review

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: the tape today. Mike McCarthy was really adamant about in

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: the in the postgame press conference after the game about

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: his views on burning the tape or watching it, and

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: he let it be known that now he watches the tape,

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: he thinks it's it's a bs to to paraphrase that

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: for people that say, we don't watch the tape, we

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: just burn it and we move on. He thinks that

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: there are things they can learn from it, and I

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: agree with that. I mean, I always think everything's a

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: learning experience. And you know, when you go back and

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: look at that game, you know, everyone always says is

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: never as bad as it as it seems, or is

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: never as good as it seems, too, And I agree

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: with that. And you know, I think if they lined

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: up and played again, you know, tomorrow, I still think

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers are are way better than the Cowboys.

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: That I'm not forty two to ten better. You know,

35
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: these games always take on a life of its own.

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: And I say that, you know, with and I said

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: it the other day the Giants. I mean, it won't

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: be that bad when they play again. It could be

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: a lot closer or so that's just the way things go.

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: And I think that you can learn from the tape,

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 3: look at it and go hey this. You know, these

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: plays right here could have changed everything. I mean, you know,

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: I think a penalty on Donovan Wilson over the middle,

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: on McCaffrey on third down, you know, the helmets and

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: helmets a bang bang play. I absolutely hate the rule.

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: I mean, McCaffrey's not going to be in the NBA. Okay,

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: McCaffrey's five, what.

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: Nine to ten?

49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: Who's not hitting him in the head. I mean like that,

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: that's just kind of the way that it goes. That's

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: what you know, people bump heads in every daycare in America.

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: I mean that that's what happens.

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: That's why you were helmets, and so I think that

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: was a really unfortunate call. Now does it change the

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: whole game? I mean maybe, I mean, just from the

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: standpoint of momentum is now swinging, the Cowboys could get

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: a stop off the field, maybe they can go tie

58
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: the game.

59
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: Obviously it didn't happen. I'm just saying that.

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: You know, if you're looking at it and going, wow,

61
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: we're this far behind the best team in the league,

62
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: I think I think you can look at it and say,

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: you know, a couple of plays here and there, and

64
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: a lot of things are different. But that being said,

65
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are going to have to go and prove it,

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: you know, this week against the Chargers and a game

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: that I think is one of the biggest ones of

68
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: the season, probably the biggest game, that this could really

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: be the most telling game of the entire year. All right,

70
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: we'll get into the questions here. We got the calls

71
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: one eight eight, eight, five, five to to ninety seven.

72
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: You can send text messages as well.

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: You know the number. Hopefully you do. It's not my

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: paper's not up here.

75
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: But anyways, we got somebody that has already been sending

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: some text messages.

77
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: So we've got that. Let's go to the calls though.

78
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: Let's start this.

79
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: Thing off in San Antonio with Al Al You're first

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: up here on the storyline.

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: How you doing, Nick, I'm good.

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: Man, how are you?

83
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 6: Heymen?

84
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 5: I love your show, Thank you, thank you hey. But

85
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 5: I've been a fan since nineteen sixty five. All right,

86
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 5: And I tell you, bro, I don't know you know

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: how you see it when you break up with a one.

88
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: That's the way I feel when cowboys move. But I

89
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 5: think they're gonna come back. I know everybody's down on deck,

90
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 5: but I think he's gonna bring us through.

91
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 6: We just got this.

92
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: We just got to keep the faith and keep you know,

93
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: keep pringing.

94
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: That's a tough analogy there, because you know the difference

95
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: is and it's not always the case. Is that, you know,

96
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: if you have a breakup with someone, they don't they

97
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: don't just come back every Sunday, you know.

98
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: I mean sometimes they do.

99
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: I mean sometimes they do and sometimes you know, that's

100
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: a whole other story right there. But I'm just saying

101
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: the best and the worst thing about being a fan

102
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: is that you get to pick up and do it

103
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: all over again. I mean, sometimes you don't want to.

104
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes you're just like, oh man, but but you know,

105
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: that's what I love about. It's just the cycle.

106
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: It's the it's.

107
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: The Monday morning, I'm burning all my Cowboys stuff. Tuesday,

108
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: I can't do this anymore, Dak, I just can't. I

109
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: can't defend you anymore. Wednesday it's like I don't care. Thursday, well,

Speaker 7: Doing doing all right?

133
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 6: Today?

134
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Uh?

135
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 7: Man, I'm ready to turn the page this week on

136
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 7: the Cowboys. Yep, for one main reason. It's now Chargers week.

137
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 7: It's not cry about the forty nine Ers week.

138
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: And I started off the show talking about a play

139
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: that to change the game. No, I get, let's go,

140
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: let's turn to the page.

141
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 8: Actually I didn't.

142
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 7: I didn't hear the first the first quarter of the show.

143
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 7: I have to go back and listen.

144
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: That's fine.

145
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 7: But it didn't mean to take a shot at you.

146
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I mean I agree, it is it

147
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: is turned the page. And what I'm trying to say

148
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: by turning the page is, you know what, it's not

149
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: as bad as you think.

150
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a terrible game.

151
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: It was one loss, you know, but every game you

152
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: could do things a little bit better. You can learn

153
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: from it. As well as what I'm saying, they're going

154
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: to evaluate the tape and learn from it. There's things

155
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 3: you can learn from even though it was a very

156
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: one sided finish.

157
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 7: No, I'm I'm hurting from this Sunday and I'd rather

158
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 7: just forget it. And another reason I'm ready to look

159
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 7: ahead is because I'm plying to La Monday morning for

160
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 7: the game, all right, And I know that as close

161
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 7: as it gets to a home game out there anywhere

162
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 7: on the road. But any pro tips about Sofi Stadium

163
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 7: that you have, if you have a first, you know,

164
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 7: away game story from when you went, maybe as a

165
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 7: fan or as a as a reporter, that would be cool.

166
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 7: And then also, just like looking ahead, the Chargers team's

167
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 7: playing pretty well. The Chargers receivers all have receptions that

168
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 7: have have gone for over forty yards. And we know

169
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 7: Herbert has a big arm. Yeah, you know, our defense,

170
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 7: our defense has to be stout.

171
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 9: Uh.

172
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 7: Injury wise, though they lost Mike Williams for a couple

173
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 7: of weeks, he's on I R. I believe he's a

174
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 7: number two receiver and then Austin Eckler, the running back,

175
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 7: missed two weeks ago with an ankle injury. But I

176
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 7: don't know if he saw this.

177
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 6: He said he was.

178
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 7: Ninety nine percent sure he would play this Monday night

179
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 7: against the Cowboys. I don't know how they come up

180
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 7: with these percentages.

181
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well he was. He was thanks for the call, Darien.

182
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: There's a lot of good stuff there. He he, you know,

183
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: he he was doubtful. He was questionable going into the

184
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: to the week. The last game against the Raiders then

185
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: that he was doubtful and then he just did not play.

186
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: But that was before the bye week, so that they

187
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: that was you know, the Raiders game then had a

188
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: bye week, so he was close to playing the Raiders game.

189
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: I think the same movie said for uh, Joey Bosa,

190
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: is that the bullsa that got this week? Joey Bosa. Yeah,

191
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: then he missed the last game. Of course, Khalil on

192
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: the other side and only got six sacks in the

193
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: game against the Raiders. So now they're gonna get Bosa

194
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: and Khalil Mack and then of course, like you said,

195
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: Austin Nickler, yeah, you know you're right about they throw

196
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: the ball down the field. And here's another part of that.

197
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: To get down the field, you have to hold it

198
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: for a second. You have to hold the ball. You

199
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: have to wait just a little bit and then get

200
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: the guys down the field. That's kind of what the

201
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: Cowboys want you to do as well. They want you

202
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: to be holding it so they can get their pass

203
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: rush home. So you can't have it both ways.

204
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 6: You know.

205
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers like to get the ball out quick,

206
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: and they had some plays down the field too, intermediate throws.

207
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: But to throw it down the field, you do have

208
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: to trust your blocking and hold it, and that's where

209
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: the Cowboys will try to, you know, capitalize as well.

210
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: Former you said you asked about road games, you know

211
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: road game stories for me, I mean, really, my first

212
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: road game ever in the regular season was the ninety

213
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: nine game at Washington. I've talked about that before and

214
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: I've basically we'll just say that's my favorite game just

215
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: because it was the first one on the road for me.

216
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: They were down twenty one in the fourth quarter, came

217
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: back won it, and you know, it was that time

218
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: where I was I was really young and I was

219
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: still it was the end of the nineties, but the

220
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: early part of the nineties.

221
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: You know, I was in high school. I was a fan.

222
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: So to be able to see on the sideline eight

223
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: men to Irvin and Emmett Smith's scoring and you rocket

224
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 3: is smile with a touchdown. I mean, it was pretty

225
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: cool game right there, and so that's that will always

226
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: be my favorite game. You know, I think, you know,

227
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: until something better comes along. But we'll we'll see if

228
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: that happened.

229
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 10: You wanted your pro tip for Sofi state, Oh tips

230
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 10: for so Fi?

231
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:42,000

Speaker 4: your memory is.

234
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 3: I got a memory of so Far. I mean I

235
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: was sitting in a suite by myself and like the

236
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: owner's suite in twenty twenty. It was the first game

237
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: of the season. I got to travel and U and

238
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there. It was the most eerie thing ever.

239
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a brand new stadium. Sounded like a

240
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: Wednesday night JV football game where all you hear is

241
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: like the echo from the other sideline. I mean, it

242
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: was unbelievable just just being there, just how weird. It

243
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: was no fans first game of the season. I dropped

244
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: my phone. I look, you get it getting on. I

245
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: just hear the guy that the announcers say thirty seven

246
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: yard pass the CD lamb, you know, and you're like,

247
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: what you know? I mean usually you hear crowd and

248
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: all that. That was just a really weird experience there.

249
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: And it was the first game for Sofi Stadium, So

250
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: that's the one. That's the one I remember from from Sofi.

251
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: I've played there a lot, though, I mean, for let's

252
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: be the fourth time we've played at so Far. It's

253
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: a brand new stadium, still seems brand new. It's very beautiful.

254
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's it's got a lot of AT

255
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: and T stadium feel, but in a California kind of

256
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: a style, which is fitting because it's in La. All Right,

257
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: let's go to Let's get a text question from Doug

258
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: in Florida. He said, what are your top three concerns

259
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: for Monday? His are secondary versus their receivers, offensive line

260
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: versus Bosa and Mac, and scoring touchdown in the red zone.

261
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. I don't know if I've

262
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: gone that far to rank him. I don't know if

263
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: I ever do that, just ranking the concerns, but those

264
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: these sound pretty good. I mean, you know the Herbert

265
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: and this offense is can Can can definitely hurt you

266
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: in different ways down the field. They test you. So

267
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: I think that's that's a really good one. The offensive line.

268
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: I mean to have Bosa and Mac two pass rushers

269
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 3: on the outside. Now, you know they they've had some

270
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: success running the ball as well. That's what they're gonna

271
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: need to do is really run the football and get

272
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: more balanced. They they did a really nice job last

273
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: year against the Charge two years ago, sorry, against the Chargers,

274
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: they ran right out Bosa.

275
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: That was the game.

276
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Terrence Steel was starting for his first time at the

277
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: right tackle, I believe for Loel Collins was suspended, and

278
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: what's Terrence Steele going to do? And he had a

279
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: great game and he really took it too. You saw

280
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: the physicalness for him. So let's see if if they

281
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: could maybe get more balanced run the ball, and then

282
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: of course that they could do that scoring in the

283
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: touchdowns of the red zone would definitely help. All Right,

284
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: back to the phones, Let's go Troy and Virginia Beach. Troy,

285
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: what's up?

286
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 11: Hey, what's up?

287
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 6: Nick?

288
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 4: Good to talk to you man, You too, man, how

289
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: are you doing to be on?

290
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 8: I'm doing great.

291
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 11: I'm doing great.

292
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 5: Hey, I wanted to chime in.

293
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 11: I think Steve said it yesterday just on how you know,

294
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 11: long of a season it really is, you know, to

295
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 11: how the roll cutter I goes up and down. Just

296
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 11: takes one bad ball to change.

297
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 7: The season, you know, get your big dance.

298
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 11: But yeah, I just want to say that to keep

299
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 11: your hope Cowboys fans. And uh also a question, So

300
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 11: Dak hurt his hands Sunday? Do you think that played

301
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 11: into a factor? No one's really talking about that. I

302
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 11: think when I saw it on TV, it was it

303
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 11: looks falling.

304
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean.

305
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: I think so, I mean, I think, I think, I'm

306
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: I'm it doesn't help. I mean, I'm sure it doesn't either.

307
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 3: It's not the reason that they lost or whatever. I

308
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: think that they were having a lot of problems beforehand.

309
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: As he pointed out, he threw a touchdown afterwards, it

310
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: was one of his best throws of the night, so

311
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: you know, he was still throwing the ball around. It

312
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: probably wasn't comfortable for him. It might have been worse,

313
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: especially of swelling. It might have been worse the next day.

314
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: So it's something to monitor. But I don't I haven't

315
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: heard that it's that big of an issue.

316
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 5: Sure, okay, cool.

317
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 11: I just want to throw that in there, and yeah,

318
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 11: keep it the good work, man.

319
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 12: Love the show.

320
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: Appreciate it. Thank you.

321
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: Troy looks like he's at work or something like that,

322
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: and here's some buttons going maybe in his car. Oh,

323
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: it says he's a Chris just let me know ups driver.

324
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: Listen to see it on the show. So he was,

325
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: you know, probably typing in GPS or something like that. Cool,

326
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: all right, love it. I love it, man, that's it's

327
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: so awesome. And I didn't say this the other day,

328
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 3: but man, one of the one of the coolest moments

329
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: we've had here is when the guy from North Carolina

330
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: maybe Josh was his name, from North Carolina the teacher

331
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: called in the middle of class that was that was

332
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: pretty neat, uh there, But yeah, this is It's always

333
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: always good to hear from new people as well. All right,

334
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: let's go to the next phone line. Call Andrew in

335
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: Colorado's Springs. Andrew, what's up?

336
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 13: Hey, good morning neck, How you doing man?

337
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 4: Good morning?

338
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 7: Are you good?

339
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 13: Good things?

340
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 6: Hey?

341
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 13: So you mentioned it a couple calls before this. I

342
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 13: completely agree. We got to get back to the run.

343
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 13: You know, they mentioned it on the show this morning too,

344
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 13: is talking Cowboys, is that we're the ninth rated team

345
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 13: for running, like and then it obviously begs the question

346
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 13: in nine's like why did we get away from it

347
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 13: against San Francisco? Like, yeah, the game got a little

348
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 13: out of hand, you know, and all that, but you know,

349
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 13: we got to do what our strength is, and that's

350
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 13: run the ball. Because we're all healthy upfront with the

351
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 13: offensive line right now too, so and I think in turn,

352
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 13: what's the best thing that Dak does play action? Right,

353
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 13: and that's CD over the top, that's Cooks over the top, whatever.

354
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: So you got to run.

355
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. You can't do play action if you're

356
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: not running it. So yeah, yeah, you're right.

357
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

358
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 13: And then just a quick thing, I was at the

359
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 13: Cowboys Chargers game in twenty twenty one. Had so by

360
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 13: that game that Micah basically established himself as as a

361
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 13: pass usher, you know, with that long sack against Herbert

362
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 13: and all that. I'm hoping I'm not going to call it,

363
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 13: but I'm hoping that he kind of reverts back to

364
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 13: what we thought he was an offall linebacker, right, you know,

365
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 13: now that we need him in that regard and still

366
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 13: able to rush a passor in instances. But also your

367
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 13: thoughts on Rashawn Evans. He's in coming in this morning

368
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 13: with the team, so I'll hang up.

369
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 6: Takes tense.

370
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't know much about Thanks for the call. I

371
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: don't know much about Rashawn Evans. Again, I'd kind of

372
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: heard that just a few minutes before the show started,

373
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: so I haven't really kind of looked that up. I

374
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: know it's a it's a former first round pick from

375
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: what I hear. You guys probably know more than me

376
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: about that, I really, I mean I heard it and

377
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: just kind of got prepared for the show. You know,

378
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: obviously anybody that can come in and help at the position.

379
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I know that this team loves first round picks,

380
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: former first round picks.

381
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: You know, just kind of hoping.

382
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 3: That maybe you know, whatever whatever that you know they

383
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: did to kind of you know, show out on tape

384
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: and and and you know, get drafted. Those those attributes,

385
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: those skills can can still be you know, dusted off

386
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: a little bit and and used.

387
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: Here they have.

388
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: At one point this year they had thirteen first round

389
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: picks on the roster or practice squad. So that's you know,

390
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: this could add to the list now. He would be

391
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: replacing Leyton Vanderhu was expected.

392
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: To go on injury reserve. He's another first round pick,

393
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: of course.

394
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: Going back to the run, you know it, like we

395
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: said before, it I mean like they got beat, they

396
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: got they got destroyed in the game. It's not just

397
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: about one play, two plays. I wrote an article about

398
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: five plays. There was a lot of plays that they needed.

399
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: To go right.

400
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: But the fumble from Tony Poller, I mean, you know

401
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: that wasn't that was a decent run around the around

402
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: the left edge. I mean he kind of hit the

403
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: hole and I mean I mean you kind of hit

404
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 3: a gear, got to the outside and he got to

405
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: the sideline and was you know, had the ball moved

406
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: in his left hand. He did it all right, and

407
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: then it got knocked out. And not only did it

408
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: get knocked out, I mean that ball that that had

409
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: eyes on it. I mean, like you there's a cliche,

410
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: well the ball just didn't bounce their way. Well it

411
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: just didn't. I mean that's that's unbelievable for that thing

412
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: to stay and bounce like that. I mean, you you

413
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: you do that and you get it punched down on

414
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: that sideline, it's gonna go out twenty five times out

415
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: of twenty six, but didn't. It didn't right then, and

416
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: and that's just kind of indicative of how the game went.

417
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 3: But my point is is that, you know, it was

418
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: a it was a decent run around the side and

419
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: and and that's you know, something that could kind of

420
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 3: open up their defense a little bit. Unfortunately for the Cowboys,

421
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: it not only did it ended up in a fumble,

422
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: but one that just stayed miraculously stayed there. Now the

423
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: forty ninds down score off of that, they did not

424
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: They got the Cowboys that end up getting a fumble

425
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: in the next drive but didn't do anything, had to

426
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 3: punt short field and they did a trick play touchdown

427
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: or you know, and then from then on it was

428
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: it was uphill. All right, let's go to Jeff in

429
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

430
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 5: Jess, how you doing, Nick good man?

431
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 6: How are you great?

432
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: Great?

433
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 6: I'm glad I could meet you.

434
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah the day out there?

435
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, man, really good. So all right, so let's

436
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 6: talk about let's talk about where we really are with

437
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 6: these guys. And I'll try not to go too spiritual.

438
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 6: But everybody loves a good comeback story, right, and we

439
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 6: know we know that when each one of the players

440
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 6: can play at their highest level of skill, they can

441
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 6: beat anybody. And the most disappointing thing about this game

442
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 6: last week was they seem to be playing at their

443
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 6: lowest level of skill. So now I'm going to make

444
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 6: this appeal to people that believe that prayer does something.

445
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 6: If you can remember what happened with Camblin at the

446
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 6: beginning of the year, dead on the field and people

447
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 6: prayed everywhere because they didn't know what else to do,

448
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 6: and it was a statement that God says, you know,

449
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 6: I'm involved in a lot more things than you'd think

450
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 6: I am. And a stupid prayer would be prayed that

451
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 6: God helped the Cowboys to always win. That'd be stupid.

452
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 6: But a wise prayer would be God help these guys

453
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 6: to perform at their peak level of efficiency, because every

454
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 6: player wants to do that, and as you know, many

455
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 6: of the players have faith that God can do that.

456
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 6: So we need to help them and specifically exercise these

457
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 6: demons that come out of the forty nine ers effect,

458
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 6: and if they can get past that forty nine or

459
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 6: of mentality, that stuck in their mind that they lost.

460
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 6: They can get pass everybody else some kind of way

461
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 6: or be competitive with some help in prayer. Watch what happens.

462
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 6: You just remember what happened on the field with Damar Hamlin.

463
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 6: That's all I want to say.

464
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: Man, all right, all right, all right, Well I appreciate,

465
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: thank you so much for the call. And you know,

466
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: obviously everyone, you know, everyone has has their their own

467
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: perspective there.

468
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: I believe in that. I believe in the power of prayer.

469
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying that everyone does, but but

470
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: you know, especially in their own way and doing the

471
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 3: wise way, like like Jeff said, because you got to remember,

472
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: you know, they there's there's two sides to to to everybody,

473
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 3: two sides to to the field, two sides to to

474
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: the to the ball. You know, both teams are out

475
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: there playing it. And you know, and I think that's

476
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 3: something that I'm gonna kind of go off on different

477
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 3: tangent here. But you know, I think a lot of

478
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: fans that have never played football, especially at the NFL level,

479
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 3: they don't understand the mindset of these these guys that

480
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: go out there and when they see Adamar Hamlin situation.

481
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: One of the scariest things that's ever happened on the field.

482
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 3: When they see that kind of stuff, it's a reminder

483
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: of every single play of how dangerous the sport is

484
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: and how things can change in a second. And so

485
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: when the game is over, even though the fans are upset,

486
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: they're they're throwing their jerseys off and burning them or whatever,

487
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 3: mad about the you know, this team, the players kind

488
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 3: of have a different mindset the game's over. Yeah, they're

489
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: upset by the loss or whatever. But you don't always

490
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: see it the same way, you know. That's why they do,

491
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 3: you know, the jersey swap, and and they laugh and

492
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: joke on the sideline or in the middle of the field,

493
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 3: and it bothers a lot of people. I mean, but

494
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: but I just you have to remember the players have

495
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: a different mindset when it comes to that.

496
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 4: So all right, let's go to the calls.

497
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: Ronnie in New Jersey, Ronnie, Hey, good morning, Mack, good morning.

498
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 6: How are you that's bad?

499
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 8: Nick? Going back to this game, who do you hang

500
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 8: the blame on more the players or the coaching staff,

501
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 8: Because honestly, I think the players they seemed like they

502
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 8: were ready for this game. But when it came to

503
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 8: the coaching, we got our coach. I mean the game

504
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 8: plan this guy had from the forty nine ers, it

505
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 8: was a great game plan. And all we talked about

506
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 8: was about the great coaching we had, and we didn't

507
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 8: see no in game adjustments, and that's what we thought

508
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 8: we were going to get when we had McCarthy calling

509
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 8: the offense now and according and going to McCarthy. Wasn't

510
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 8: it always said that if you're going to be calling

511
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 8: the plays, you got to be installing the plays. But

512
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 8: he has an offensive coordinator installing the plays and then

513
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 8: he's calling the game. Wasn't that the recent Jason Garrett

514
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 8: had issues?

515
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 6: All right?

516
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: You know, everybody does it differently. I mean McCarthy is

517
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: he does have Brian Schottenheimer as the offensive coordinator. There's

518
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: some people that think that's kind of more.

519
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 4: Of a of a title.

520
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, the play caller is the one

521
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: that obviously, you know, Mike's calling the place. But but

522
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: they do work hand in hand from my understanding about

523
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 3: you know, installing the plays and just kind of organizing

524
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: what the game plan is going to be. I know, Mike,

525
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: it's not like he just comes in on Sunday and said,

526
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: all right, what are we what are we working with here?

527
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 3: We're gonna do this? Okay?

528
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 4: Cool?

529
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: I I mean I don't think that's the case. I'd

530
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: like to think he's a lot more hands on than that.

531
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: But who you know, putting the blame on the coach

532
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: and the players, I mean, it's it's both. It is both,

533
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 3: and that's not a cop out answer. Nobody did well.

534
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 3: I mean, the players got to go out and execute,

535
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: and they did it.

536
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: They did it.

537
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: They couldn't block, they could you know, they couldn't block

538
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: these guys up front. They were getting you know, knocked

539
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: off the ball. I mean, you can't tell me that

540
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: that every single one was just them not being prepared.

541
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 3: They they got they got outplayed as well. And you know,

542
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: Mike Michaeh. Parsons went out and said, you know, he's

543
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 3: he's been pretty vocal about about his you know, where

544
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: he stands on things, and and kind of said he

545
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: gave a lot of credit to Kyle Shanahan for having

546
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: them them prepared. And you know, if you could look

547
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 3: at it and think maybe that was a shot or whatever,

548
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 3: but you know, I look at it and say if

549
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: McCarthy would have said, hey, we got out played. I

550
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 3: don't know if that's a shot at the players. I

551
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: think they got out coached. I think they got out played.

552
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 3: I think they got out hit. I think they got

553
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 3: out out physical. I think, you know, the mindset was

554
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: was better for the forty nine ers. I mean they

555
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: they were they were jacked up for the game too,

556
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: but they played that they used it to help them.

557
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 3: So any any way you slice it, I mean, if

558
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 3: you want to blame anything, you'd be right in this one.

559
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: That's just that's kind of the way it went down.

560
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: All right, all right, let's go to the next caller.

561
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: We got Steve in New Jersey. Steve, what's up?

562
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 5: Hey, Nick?

563
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 14: Weve you're on the break man.

564
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: Thank you, not anymore, not there anymore.

565
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 14: But yeah, I know we did a great job.

566
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 6: Nick.

567
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 14: I'm going to bring some negativity to the show and

568
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 14: reality in my sense, I've been a Cowboy fan forever.

569
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 14: I'm fifty five. When I listening to the shows, Nick,

570
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 14: and I hear Jesse, Brian, you know, Barry, all these

571
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 14: guys saying that Dak has problems, you know, reading coverages.

572
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 14: That's troublesome for me, you know, as when Dak's going

573
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 14: into his it's his eighth year already. If this was

574
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 14: you know, if this was justin Fields, I wouldn't mind.

575
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 14: He's only been in the league two or three years.

576
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 14: Dak's been this is eight years for now, and he's

577
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 14: always doing the same thing. You know, they from brand

578
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 14: new offense around him. Everything is always Dak friendly, and

579
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 14: Dak always seems to just no put him in and

580
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 14: make bad throws. I don't know, Nick, I don't think

581
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 14: it's and we're only fooling ourselves if we think he's

582
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 14: going to get better, and it's going to kill us,

583
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 14: you know, when this guy's making sixty sixty five million

584
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 14: a year because he's not that good, Nick to make

585
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 14: other people better like Jerry thinks he is.

586
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean that's thanks for the call. I mean

587
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm not you're obviously you know your opinion is right.

588
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: I said that yesterday. I said that, I'll say that

589
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: every day. Your opinion is right, you know. I think

590
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 3: I think there's something to be said for the fact.

591
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 3: I mean there's his play can can be worrisome. I

592
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: mean that's the let's just call it what it is.

593
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's and he stands up there and

594
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: says the same thing, I got to be better. Well,

595
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: then then then let's be better. I mean, that's that's

596
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: what it is. I mean, and I get it. I

597
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: get the frustration. I get it because you do look

598
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: at the game and see the throws that the other

599
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 3: guy's making and you think that's not something of the

600
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 3: Cowboys are doing. They don't have that. They don't have

601
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: that guy party made a lot of throws nineteen yards,

602
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: twenty two yards over the middle and over the over

603
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 3: the linebacker. But under the safety. It's not an easy throw.

604
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: It's not an easy, easy, you know, play to make.

605
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: You have to trust a lot of things. Have to

606
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 3: trust your arm, you have to trust that the blockings there,

607
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: you have to trust the receivers making the right route,

608
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: and you've got to be on the same page. And

609
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: so that's where I think the forty nine ers had

610
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: a big advantage on just being on the same page

611
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: with their guys in their offense. Obviously this is not

612
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: a new system for them, but but yeah, I mean,

613
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: Dak has has got to be has got to be

614
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 3: better than this, and if he's not going to be,

615
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: then that's something the Cowboys have to figure out. I mean,

616
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: after eight years, you know it, you say it is

617
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: what it is. It's never going to be better. You

618
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: could go. I've heard plenty of quarterbacks say that that

619
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: that's not the case. They will they will say that

620
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 3: things changed in their career to get them better. I

621
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: mean Romo says it. I mean Romo was nine years

622
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: into the league and said he kind of figured things

623
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: out from a throwing motion and things like that. And

624
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 3: that's why, you know, his injury was really tough on

625
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: him because you know, he kind of felt like he

626
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 3: was he was kind of getting into the into the

627
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: mode where he understood things way way differently.

628
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 4: I know, Breeze Brady, those guys.

629
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: You know, they they've found things in their career to

630
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: kind of help them and extend things. So I don't

631
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 3: believe that it's a situation where you're eight years in

632
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: and you're just not going to get better. I don't

633
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: believe that. But but they also you want to see

634
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: it though. You want to see these guys getting better.

635
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: So the Cowboys are in a tough situation. I mean,

636
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: they're going to be here. I think next next season,

637
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: next offseason. Have to figure out this is the guy

638
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: that they love. He's a you know, leader, and and

639
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: are they can they get enough guys around him to

640
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: help him? And as it stands right now, it's it's

641
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: it's just you know, it didn't work the other night.

642
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 3: It's a three and two football team. But you know,

643
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit here and say, let's let's make

644
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: decisions sort of the off season, because the narrative's gonna

645
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 3: change in about five days. It'll change next or you

646
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: know whatever, next Tuesday, we'll probably be talking about something different.

647
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: So that's why I just to just to sit here

648
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: and say, well, that was you know, this is what

649
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: the season is. I just don't I just don't think

650
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: that's accurate, because it's not. It's going to change. All right,

651
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a break. Let's take a break here,

652
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: cowboy storyline. We'll be right back with more calls and

653

655
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 10: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

656
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 10: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

657
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per

658
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,200

Speaker 10: T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and

660
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 10: he learned the best thing to do is stop running

661
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 10: and toss her.

691
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,720

692
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,320

Speaker 9: Back to Cowboys storylines.

702
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to the storyline. We've got more

703
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: questions here. Questions from the text line got a couple

704
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 3: of calls on the line too, we'll get to Let's

705
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: start with the text Paul from Vancouver. He says, with

706
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 3: the injury to CJ. Goodwin dot nashawn Wright being active

707
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 3: and could that lead to more Durron Bland in the slot,

708
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 3: I think the wrong Bland and Jordan Lewis will both.

709
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if that injury good one

710
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: doesn't really play corner. I mean it doesn't doesn't affect that.

711
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: Now if you're saying the Shawn Wright being active, he's

712
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: going to be off of the injury reserve, I believe

713
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: he could do that now. He it's been this is

714
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: what week six, So yeah, I mean he's he's eligible

715
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: to do that. That would be you know, he'd probably

716
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: be a special teams guy. He'll play, he could play

717
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: some on defense. They're going to have igbanogaeny Uh is

718
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: also going to get you know a lot of reps

719
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: at corner. So I think the Shawn Wright maybe could

720
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: could have a spot on the roster and and help

721
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: with special teams and then Gorociers be another guy. I mean,

722
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 3: that would give a more cornerback death depth because they

723
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: don't play good one at corner, so it'd have more

724
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: game day depth at the position, which is which is

725
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: good too, but it's gonna be tough replace CJ. Goodwin,

726
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: you know, and on special teams for the things that

727
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: he does, so that you know that won't be easy there.

728
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: All right.

729
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: Another text question, This is just from no name but

730
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 3: the six nine area code. So do you think the

731
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: pass routes need to be deeper? I think the three

732
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: yard routes are killing this offense. I wish they would

733
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 3: work the middle of the field eight to fifteen yard range.

734
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of what the last caller was

735
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: sort of talking about, or I did. I mentioned it

736
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: just about his frustrations with Dak. Those are the type

737
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: of throws. You know, you need to be reading the

738
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 3: defense much better when you're making those kind of throws.

739
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: But I think that's that's what is hurting this team

740
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: right now, is the fact that they don't have the receivers.

741
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: They don't have the Dolphins receivers where these guys are

742
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: just running track, you know, like like they don't have

743
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. They got speed, but I don't

744
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: know if they have this elusive playmakers that can take

745
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: two to three yard screens or the bub and all

746
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: that and then make go make guys, you know, miss

747
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: in the open field. They don't really have that type

748
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: of player. So the ball definitely needs to go down

749
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 3: the field a little bit more. And they're just not balanced.

750
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: They're not balanced. When you don't run the football, it's

751
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: gonna be tough to throw it as well. So they

752
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: have to figure out some balance here.

753
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 6: Uh.

754
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think Daddle, Rico Daddel needs

755
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 3: that needs to have a little bit more, uh, in

756
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: the in the running game. I just think they have

757
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 3: to lessen the load for Pollard. Let's try it differently

758
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: because Pollard has never been this guy, and I think

759
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 3: that he needs a little He just needs to to have,

760
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: you know, running spurts a little bit more than what

761
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: we're seeing. So you know, at this point, you just

762
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: got to try different things. You know, when you ask

763
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: someone to do something they haven't done before and then

764
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 3: it's not working out that great, I think it's not

765
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 3: too too early to say, let's let's alter the plan

766
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 3: just a little bit. I think Rico Daddle could get

767
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 3: a few more carries and then you know, every time

768
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 3: he's run the ball, he seems to run it with efficiency?

769
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 6: All right?

770
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 3: On the phone lines, John and Akron. John, you're up,

771
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: Good morning, Nick.

772

Speaker 5: How are you morning?

773
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: How are you doing?

774
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 12: I'm doing great. I'll have My question is do the

775
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 12: coaches watch other teams? Coaches, we have a probably getting

776
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 12: the guys open. The guy like the guys from the rams.

777
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 12: The guy knew rookie, he hadn't cut five yards of

778
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 12: the passes cup come back, just came back off. Ir

779
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 12: he caught, doesn't pass over hundred yards? Do they ever

780
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 12: watch see how these guys get open? Do they ever

781
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 12: like kind of copy of these guys or anything? We

782
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 12: see these the same thing over and over. Everybody else

783
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 12: can get open, all kind of innovative plays. None of

784
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 12: our guys that we do the same thing. How these

785
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 12: guys get open? Yeah, can watch them?

786
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 3: I'm sure, yes, I mean yeah, everybody watches the league.

787
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: They have scouts. There are scouts that watch every team.

788
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 3: They have scouts that are appointed to every team. So yeah,

789
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: I mean they're definitely watching other teams and giving them reports. Now,

790
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 3: how how much they're they're using it? You know that

791
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: that can that goes. I don't have the answer for that,

792
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: but it is a copycat league. I mean, we saw

793
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 3: it the other day. I mean the I mean Cowboys

794
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 3: are you know, they do take It seems to take

795
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: longer than other teams to start copying stuff. I mean,

796
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: I know there was a point where everybody in the

797
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 3: league is running rub routes and and and things like that, picks,

798
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 3: and the Cowboys finally, you know, finally decided to do

799
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 3: that a little bit. They haven't done it that much lately,

800
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean, you know, it also comes down

801
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 3: to the players too. I mean, you you they drafted

802
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 3: that offense like like the Rams.

803
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 4: You know, they they acquire route runners.

804
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 3: That's that has to happen in there in their system,

805
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 3: you know, and that's what Cooper Cup does so well.

806
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 3: I think the player you're talking about is a Kua.

807
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's been he's been outstanding as a rookie.

808
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: But it does you know, they they don't have really

809
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: good crisp route runners that help with that. But I mean, yes,

810
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: they've gotta they've got to figure this out. And that's

811
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 3: what the that's what the next two three weeks are

812
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 3: this game, and then of course you get to buy.

813
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: They have to figure out ways to get these guys open.

814
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: That's just that's playing and simple, and I don't care

815
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: if it's stealing other teams plays or whatever. They have

816
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: to figure this out. Brian Schottenheimer and Mike McCarthy together,

817
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: they've been coaching in this league for you know, almost

818
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: fifty years combined. They've been in a lot of different systems.

819
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: Bright Schotenheimer's been on like twelve teams. It seems like

820
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: he's been in a lot of offenses. He's got to

821
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: be able to help figure this out. And McCarthy as well.

822
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 3: So that's that's got to happen. All right, Rob in

823
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: Vegas is next.

824
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 4: Rob? What's up?

825
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 8: Nick?

826
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 4: How you doing?

827
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 16: You know, the league talks about parity, but party doesn't

828
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 16: really exist in the NFL because at the end of

829
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 16: the day, if you don't have a top ten quarterback,

830
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 16: you can't win a Super Bowl. You look at the

831
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 16: last twenty years, who was winning Mahomes obviously Braid and

832
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 16: unfortunately Dak is in top ten anymore. I think I

833
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 16: got him like at thirteenth. I mean, he's been passed.

834
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 16: He's not the best quarterback in our division, Hurts is

835
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 16: so we lost that advantage, and I think they thought, well,

836
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 16: this defense is going to be so good that our

837
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 16: offense doesn't have to be as good. That's almost impossible

838
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 16: in today's NFL with the way the rules is set up.

839
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 16: If you're not scored, if your offense without getting turnovers,

840
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 16: let's not count turnovers, let's not count part returns. If

841
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 16: your offense cannot score at least twenty three points by itself,

842
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 16: it's hard to win in this league because the teams

843
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 16: with good quarterbacks are going to put up twenty eight

844
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 16: to thirty. And I think Monday is going to be

845
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 16: a tough game because I think Herbert is just way

846
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 16: better than Dak Prescott. I think the quarterback gap used

847
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 16: to be tight with us. We used to always have

848
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 16: Dak was the best quarterback before hers He was the

849
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 16: best quarterback in the NFC East. So we can lean

850
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 16: on that. We can't lean on it anymore. So we're

851
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 16: not getting any help from him, and he's regressed. I

852
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 16: hate that we put it all on him, but let's

853
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 16: be honest. The most position, it's the most important position

854
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 16: on the team. And they decided to make him a

855
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 16: drop back quarterback. They took away what he was best at,

856
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 16: and that was using his legs combined with the arm,

857
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 16: and I don't know why they did that. I don't

858
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 16: know if it's because once they wrote that big check,

859
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 16: they said, well, we don't want this guy to get hurt.

860
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 16: But they need to go back to that. You need

861
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 16: to call plays that doesn't give him the option because

862
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 16: we see it he was doing and I think you

863
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 16: may even talk about he was faking the ball like

864
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 16: he was going to do an ro. He never held

865
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 16: it once sort of forty nine, like this guy's not

866
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 16: going to run, and he does it all the time

867
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 16: where he faked the RPO, but he never actually keeps it.

868
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 14: So I think to.

869
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 16: Take that option out and say, no, no, no, here's

870
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 16: the play call. It's a run, it's a quarterback draw,

871
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 16: it's whatever to get him going because he's just not

872
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 16: good as as strictly a passer, and especially in this

873
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 16: offense they're making him now trying to be read defenses.

874
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 16: Never his strength. He doesn't have a great arm, he's

875
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 16: not very accurate. Can he get better, like you were saying, sure,

876
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 16: but here's the problem. They don't have time for him

877
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 16: to get better. You're in your prime right now with

878
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 16: Micah c D. You got you're young, but you're old

879
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 16: in certain positions. This is the time. Last year was

880
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 16: the time. This year is the time. By the time

881
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 16: he figures it out. Unfortunately, like Romo, by the time

882
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 16: Romo figured it out, his body said I'm done. So

883
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 16: you got to strike now. And I just think this

884
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 16: is probably or should be the last year with Dax

885
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 16: because you see what brock Purty does at eight hundred

886
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 16: thousand dollars. We've seen what I forgot. Something I was

887
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 16: reading yesterday. The only quarterback that won with a match

888
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 16: contract a super Bowl was Mahomes in the last like

889
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 16: fifteen years. Everybody else was on a rookie deal. So

890
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 16: you gotta get I mean, I get to the super Bowl.

891
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 6: You got it right.

892
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 3: He just made your own point, you know, and like, like,

893
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 3: I agree with you, but you just said, you know what,

894
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 3: when you said earlier about nobody's making top ten, you

895
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 3: know none of these you know, teams are making to

896
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: the super Bowl unless they have a top ten quarterback.

897
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 3: But I think it goes the other way. I think

898
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 3: you go to the Super Bowl, you become a top

899
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 3: ten quarterback. I think I think you get viewed in

900
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: that in that regard because your team is in the

901
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 3: Super Bowl and whether or not you're the reason for

902
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: it or not. The only you know, probably exemption from

903
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: that would be Garoppolo a few years ago when he

904
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 3: got in. But I mean, I mean, I think you know,

905
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 3: the Eagles are really good. It hurts is a reason

906
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 3: for it hurts us now all of a sudden up

907
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: there because they've gone to the Super Bowl, and so

908
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: you get viewed that way. I mean, this team can

909
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: ride the defense if they can figure this out and

910
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 3: get hot, win some games. You know, if they beat

911
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers last year in the playoffs and

912
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 3: they get to the championship game, and who knows if

913
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 3: they I mean, and then Dak's a top five quarterback

914
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: just like that, and he hasn't changed anything. But I

915
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 3: just think it's a perception deal. So no, he hasn't

916
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: gotten there, so he gets moved down. Players that you know, Burrow,

917
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 3: they got there. So he's now top five, right or wrong.

918
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 3: But that's that's kind of the way it is. So

919
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 3: let's don't act like they get rated and then they

920
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 3: go perform. They go perform, and then they get raided.

921
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 3: You you asked Nick Harris, who used to work at

922
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: rivals and recruiting, and I guarantee you, I guarantee you.

923
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 3: When you talk to a player and that's maybe a

924
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 3: three star and he's got Nick Saban on the phone,

925
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 3: he who wants them, he probably becomes a four star

926
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 3: or five star pretty quick. That's sort of the way

927
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 3: that that it goes. So I get what you're saying,

928
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 3: though kind of went off on the tangent on that.

929
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 3: But but yeah, I mean, Dak's got to be a

930
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 3: football player again, that's what has to happen. I say

931
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 3: it a thousand times, but he's got to. They got

932
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 3: to make him a football player. And if that means

933
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: he needs to run more than he needs to run,

934
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: because he's got to be that guy. He's got to

935
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: go out there and be a player that runs the ball,

936
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 3: not afraid, not afraid to die for it, and go

937
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 3: make plays, just let it loose. That's that's the only

938
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 3: thing he can do. That's the way. That's what got

939
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 3: him here in college, that's what got him, you know,

940
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 3: to to having success.

941
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 4: He's got to be that guy.

942
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 3: And if they're going to have him stand back there,

943
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 3: or if he's going to stand himself back there and

944
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 3: try to throw passes. They'll be limited in what they do,

945
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 3: what they throw, because that's not him. That that's never

946
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 3: been him. He's He's a guy that has to get

947
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 3: on the move. He has to be diving for first downs, sliding,

948
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: whatever it takes. Can't worry about anything that's happened in

949
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 3: the pass. He's got to go play football. Once he does,

950
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 3: that gets the rhythm going. I think he becomes a

951
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 3: better passer. I think he passes the ball in the run.

952
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 3: I think his confidence is a lot better. I think

953
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: the receivers have more confidence in him. But it's got

954
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 3: to start with the mindset of you got to go

955
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: let it hang in, you gotta go win, you gotta

956
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: go play. He's got to be that guy again and

957
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 3: then and if that happens, then I think this team

958
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 3: will rally around him a lot more. But but right now,

959
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 3: he can't just stand in the pocket and make throws

960
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: because that's like everyone is saying, that's not his strength.

961
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: All right, ed, and Louisiana is next.

962
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 9: How you doing?

963
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 4: Hey good? How are you?

964
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 9: I'm doing good. It's got a big game coming up.

965
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 9: If we can get to four and two, then we're

966
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 9: probably about where most people thought we would be at

967
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 9: THEBAI probably got a shout at the division. You know,

968
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 9: you still got positive stuff to look forward to. Three

969
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 9: and three. We're probably in a dull fight in the

970
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 9: season to get in as a wild Cord. And but

971
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 9: I think they're gonna bounce back. I think they're gonna

972
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 9: be ready to go.

973
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, what do you think, what do

974
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 3: you think has to happen. What's the one thing that

975
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 3: has to happen for this team.

976
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 4: To get there?

977
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 9: Just stay focused and discipline, stay together, and just just

978
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 9: play to their ability. I mean, they got the talent,

979
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 9: they just got to get out there and just do it.

980
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 9: And you can't listen to the outside noise. You just

981
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 9: got to focus on the task at hand. And this

982
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 9: week you got to prepare for everything because Kellen is

983
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 9: gonna be he gonna be dialed up. He got to play.

984
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 9: He's probably in the summer, he's been rowing up and

985
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 9: he's probably gonna have the first play of the game.

986
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 9: You can write it down, your favorite play the fleet

987
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 9: flicks that you're gonna call it.

988
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: If that happens. If that happens, they will lose. I'm

989
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 3: gonna tell you right now, if.

990
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 4: They if the think for the call is appreciate that.

991
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 3: If if the if the Chargers come out and do

992
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, I think I think that they'll

993
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: lose the game. I think they're gonna lose. Anyways, they've

994
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 3: had they've had a couple of weeks, so I mean,

995
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure this this worked perfectly for for Kellen. You

996
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 3: know that they they're getting guys back. They got two weeks,

997
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 3: uh to to to look at the Cowboys and look

998
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 3: at you know, what the forty nine ers did, and

999
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 3: and and and try to you know, try to dial

1000
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: up some some plays against them. But you know, I

1001
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 3: think this is this is the biggest game of the year.

1002
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sorry, there's no other wed to slice that.

1003
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: This is the biggest game of the year for what

1004
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 3: we think the Cowboys can be. It's not must win,

1005
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 3: it doesn't it's not do or die. If they don't

1006
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 3: win the game, they'll be three and three going into

1007
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 3: the buy and then they'll try to, you know, figure

1008
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: things out themselves and and try to you know, scratch

1009
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 3: and claw and.

1010
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 4: Get back up there.

1011
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 3: But but I think for being the type of team

1012
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 3: that you want to be, you'd be four and two,

1013
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 3: four and two and three and three just seems very

1014
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 3: very different, especially with the two weeks to think about it.

1015
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 3: So I think this is one of the biggest games

1016
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: in the regular season the Cowboys have had in a

1017
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 3: long time, Bigger than the one last week in my opinion,

1018
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: because of where you are and what you have to do. Now,

1019
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: everyone's looking at each other kind of sideways, like like

1020
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: like the last caller just said, you got to stay together.

1021
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: Easier said than done, Easier said than done. When you

1022
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: have certain things in the locker room being said, you

1023
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 3: can just kind of tell of the of the tone

1024
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 3: I did my thing.

1025
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 4: I did you know.

1026
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 3: There's if that's being said in the locker room, I mean,

1027
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: if that's being said in front of the cameras, you

1028
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 3: know that that stuff's going on in the locker room

1029
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 3: as well. This is where Mike McCarthy has done well.

1030
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 3: He's done well with rallying after a loss, and that's

1031
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 3: that's you can't say that he's not good at it

1032
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 3: because they're ten and one and their last eleven losses

1033
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 3: of the next week and they come out and they

1034
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 3: play really good football that that needs to be eleven

1035
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: in one they had. This is the biggest one that

1036
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 3: they've got to bounce back. If not, this could be

1037
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,479
Speaker 3: a long season. If they don't bounce back this week

1038
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 3: against the Chargers, then now we're gonna start looking at

1039
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 3: it going what's what's the problem. And now you've got

1040
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 3: two losses in a row. You know, now you know

1041
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: the offense that the coordinator that you let go now

1042
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 3: just beat you. So it's a lot of pressure on

1043
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 3: this game. There's pressure on both sides of the ball.

1044
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 3: But that's why they play it though. It's gonna be

1045
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 3: a lot of fun, all right, appreciate it. Thanks for

1046
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 3: all the calls. We got what we've got ten calls

1047
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,320
