1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 3: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 4: What is up? It is time for another Cowboys storyline.

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 4: I'm your host, Nick Eatman. But this is a different storyline.

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 4: This is different than any other one that we've done

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 4: since we started back at training camp in late July,

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: because this storyline is actually officially game week. It is

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: game week. There's no more off season. Offseason is officially closed.

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

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 4: it normally will be here at the Star in Frisco,

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: and it is time to focus only on this week's

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

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: probably bounce around and talk about a lot of other

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

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 4: But the biggest one, obviously is the game Cowboys and Giants.

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

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: Roster cuts, roster moves all these time. I mean, roster

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: moves will always kind of happen tweaking here and there,

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

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: the roster. That will always happen, but the focus obviously

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: will be against the Giants, and what happens here with

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: any kind of injury setbacks before, it's not that big

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: a deal. We'll see as long as they getting ready

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

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 4: certainly magnifies things a little bit like it did yesterday

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: in practice Monday at the start, right when the media

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

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: twenty minutes maybe, so I would say it about nineteen

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: minute mark, Tyler Smith starts walking off the field. Didn't

32
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: look too happy about it. Come to find out, looks

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: like he's got a hamstring injury that will limit him

34
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: probably this week. Well, we'll see how it goes. Jerry Jones,

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 4: Cowboys owner GM said on his weekly radio segment on

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: one O five to three the Fan this morning. He'll

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: he'll do that every Tuesday morning, so always some storylines

38
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 4: coming out of that, And the biggest one that he said,

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 4: in my opinion, was just just about the question on

40
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith and his availability for this week. He's going

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 4: to have an MRI today, but it sounds like they're

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: pretty optimistic based off of what he was able to

43
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: do and how he was feeling as the day went

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: on yesterday. So as it stands right now, it doesn't

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: seem like the Cowboys are concerned about his status for

46
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 4: the first game. But again, he's going to have the MRI.

47
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: I going to see how things are just officially, to

48
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: see what it looks like. But as it stands right now,

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 4: fingers crossed, Tyler Smith should be able to play. That's

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 4: that's at least what the hope is. Then we'll see

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: what the MRI reveals later on. But yeah, hamstring injury

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 4: or at least the setback a hamstring tweak, you would

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: say for Tyler Smith who plays left guard, and Cowboys

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: can't have any issues when it comes to the offensive

55
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: line because they really don't have a lot of depth.

56
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: And when I'm looking at some questions here already on

57
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: the text line, and again we'll take questions on the

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: text line. I'll obviously take questions on the phone line.

59
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 4: Last Friday show was amazing. You guys were all over

60
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: the place there calling us. I think we counted sixteen

61
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 4: phone calls there. We went a little overtime to get

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: those in and then this is you know, this is

63
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: the time slot here that we're hoping for ten am.

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: We're still kind of trying to see what Mike McCarthy's

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: schedule on his press conference is going to look like

66
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: it might have to tweak a little bit, but we're

67
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: hoping for this ten am time slot. Phone call one

68
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: eight eight five five to nine seven eight one seven

69
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: two nine zero three two nine eight is the text line.

70
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: We do have some text questions, and like I was saying,

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: the offensive line seems to be where everyone's guess is

72
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: concern and and and I'm with you there. I mean

73
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: that's where the backup, the backup offensive linemen are. They

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: don't have a lot of depth there, and this is

75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: a position where you obviously need some depth. Jerry Jones

76
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: did say that this morning that every team in the

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: league is looking for offensive line depth. That's why you

78
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 4: don't see a lot of great linemen on the waiver wire.

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

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

81
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: need offensive line depth, and the Cowboys certainly do. I

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

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

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: office will make a trade for an offensive line player soon.

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: I don't know about making a trade. I mean I

86
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: think that they they're they're exploring all options here. Like

87
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: I said, though, who who's trading offensive lineman? Who's Who's said? Well,

88
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: we got a lot of tackles here, We got a

89
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: lot of guards and centers. It just doesn't happen very

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: often because everyone knows. The one thing you that that

91
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: you can really hurt your team is if you lose

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: depth on the offensive line. Go look at the Super

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: Bowl a couple of years ago, the Chiefs I guess

94
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 4: it was Chiefs and and and Bucks. You know, Tom

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: Brady was playing there, but it was really the defense

96
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: for the Bucks that won that game. And the Chiefs

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: had like three offensive line starters out and it just

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

99
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: that's the quickest way you can you can change the

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

101
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: offensive line and have some depth issues there. So that's

102
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 4: that's kind of where I think the Cowboys stand there

103
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 4: when it comes to the offensive line, and and and

104
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: they're gonna be looking for depth as it stands. Right now,

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: let's look at the depth you're gonna have. Assuming Tyler

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

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

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

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: left guard, Tyler Biattish center, say those that those three

110
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 4: really fast and then right guard Zach Martin, right tackle,

111
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: money bags McGee over there, Terrence Steele, which he did

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

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

114
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff, and which is great for

115
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 4: Terren Steel. He's earned it. And I just I just

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

117
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: the empty practice field, just looking at an empty practice field.

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

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: I mean, just just right out there out there in

120
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: the heat, ready to go. Ready. But that's that's what

121
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 4: the offensive line starters look like. The backups awesome. Richard's

122
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: Matt Will. Let's go the center. It could be the

123
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: new guy that they have, Harlow or brock Hoffman. I

124
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: would lean towards Hoffman. He's been here, understands the calls.

125
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: Maybe a little bit better adoga. If he's healthy, you know,

126
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: I mean that he's he's not on the injured you know,

127
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 4: injury report will come out tomorrow, but he has been injured,

128
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: not to the point where they wanted to keep him

129
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: on IR. But that's your that's your offensive line depth

130
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: right now, and so stay healthy starters. Uh, that's that's

131
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 4: kind of where the concern is. All right, phone calls time.

132
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: It's time for a phone call Conrod Texas. We've got

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: Richard Richard.

134
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: What's up, Hey, Nick, big fan, longtime listener.

135
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: Thank you, love the news show.

136
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: Appreciate that.

137
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: I know the concern is offensive line, but mine is

138
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 5: more the linebacker position after losing over shown. Okay, so

139
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 5: is it something that they address in free agency or

140
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: do you think this is Roles that curse and Marquis

141
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: Bell fill out. I'll hang up and let you answer.

142
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: But man, a big fan, I'm sure the brick misses you,

143
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: but I look forward to hearing your answer.

144
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: What well, thank you for the call. And I don't

145
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: know if they do, actually they if they miss me

146
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: over there, because Patrick Walker is filled in nicely and

147
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: that he's uh, he's taken it. To a different level too.

148
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: So I hear some some big conversations that they have

149
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: over there on the break, which most of the time

150
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: and it'll include today as well, but it seems like

151
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: the break will be following me. So I think I'm

152
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: squeezing in right in between talking cowboys and Cowboys break.

153
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: That's a good good spot to be in those two

154
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: shows right there. Another question that I had on that

155
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: linebacker depth was Chris from wichital Falls. He did a

156
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: text line question about he sees the problem the offensive line,

157
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: but he's also concerned about the thin linebacker depth as well,

158
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: just like you, Richard, So going going to that that

159
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: that would be number two I would think on the

160
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 4: on the list of concerns just from a depth standpoint.

161
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 4: But you kind of answer your own question just because

162
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 4: you know the way that I think dan Quinn will

163
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: play it. You know the linebackers you're gonna they're not

164
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: playing three linebackers on the field very often, if ever.

165
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: I mean, so you really don't need three. You don't

166
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 4: need three backups for that really playing two and if

167
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: and some of those times will be like you said, safety,

168
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: I think Marquis Bell is going to get some spot

169
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: sometime there, I think Israel mcwamu will have a role.

170
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 4: I loved what he did in the playoff game against

171
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 4: Tampa and that was that was kind of a that

172
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 4: was the beauty of dan Quinn. I thought, I thought

173
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: that that game right there, because if you go back

174
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: the week before the Bucks game, that awful game in

175
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: Washington where they just weren't inspired at all, played horribly,

176
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: got blown out by a quarterback that's never played and

177
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: you know, it just wasn't a great game. And mcquama

178
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 4: was inactive for that game. And then come okay, well

179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 4: mcwama was inactive. They're trying different things at corner. It's

180
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 4: not working out. And then but they knew all along

181
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: what they were going to do. They made him an

182
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: active all of a sudden. Next week against Tampa Bay.

183
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: Here's Israel mcwamu, who's six foot five, he's got this

184
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 4: wingspan of like a nine foot wingspan. He's playing in

185
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 4: the middle of the field, and you know, I thought,

186
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 4: I thought it kind of disrupted what what Brady in

187
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: the in the Bucks we're thinking about on offense, on offense.

188
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: So I just feel like that they've got things like

189
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: that up their sleeve. It might be a week to

190
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: week thing, but they'll figure out how to how to

191
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: get you know, the nickel and diying packages, and they'll

192
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: get some of these safeties playing closer to the line

193
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 4: of scrimmage and they'll they'll fix that linebacker position in

194
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: my opinion that way. All right, go back to the

195
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: phone lines. Steve in New York.

196
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 7: What's up, hey, Nick, great show man, Thank.

197
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: You man, appreciate it.

198
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 7: Oh, just a quick question. I know everybody was not everybody,

199
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 7: but a lot of people are okay with Zeke leaving.

200
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 7: But I've been asking this since that day. The tough yards,

201
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 7: the third down and short, fourth and short? Where where

202
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 7: do you see that coming from? Who's going to go

203
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 7: and you know, step in or do they alter maybe

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 7: what they do on situations like that. Yeah, because I

205
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 7: know everybody was kind of down on Zeke, But who

206
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 7: was better at getting those yards than he was?

207
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: Well?

208
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 4: What do you think, Steve?

209
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 8: I mean, who?

210
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 4: Who? Who would you give to fourth and one against

211
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 4: the Giants midfield, middle of the game. You know the

212
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 4: offense is going fourth and one, it's a long one.

213
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: What do you what are you doing?

214
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 7: I love Pollard, but I don't know if he's that guy,

215
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 7: you know what I mean as far as most tough yards, obviously,

216
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 7: I think he's going to be the guy. But you know,

217
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 7: I don't know if Zeke had a lot of those

218
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 7: plays where he made a positive out of something that

219
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 7: you know was probably going to be a loss, and

220
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 7: I just I'm just concerned where they're going to get

221
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 7: that from. Yeah, with the guys on the roster.

222
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 4: Well, you're not wrong. I appreciate the call. You're You're

223
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 4: definitely not wrong there, because you know, Zeke, one of

224
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: the things that always concerned me about letting him go

225
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: is that when did he when did he get stopped?

226
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: Like when when did he really get stopped for fourth

227
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: and one or third and one, third and two. I

228
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: mean he got it most of the time. He would

229
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: get it and maybe around the goal line, but he

230
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 4: eventually would get in and scored twelve times last year.

231
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 4: So you know, I'm with you there. I think the

232
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: guy that's gonna get most of the fourth and ones

233
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: or third in the one the one yard, I think

234
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 4: it's gonna be Dak. I really do. And if you haven't,

235
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: you know, if you've done your fantasy league whatever, I

236
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: think Dak's gonna probably score a lot of touchdowns running

237
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: the ball. I think that's gonna be what they do.

238
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: I think that it's a copycat league. I think until

239
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 4: the NFL changes the rule, I think people are gonna

240
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: push quarterbacks in the back like the Eagles were doing,

241
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: and and and and Jalen Hurts is a big, strong guy.

242
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: But also, you know, look look what they're doing, and

243
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: that works. I mean, that's almost unstoppable. I think Dak's

244
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: gonna get some of those carries. I think Pollard will

245
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: get some. You know, we'll see, you know, Rico Dawdle

246
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: just seems like he's got a little bit more power,

247
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 4: but but not not a lot. Also not maybe not

248
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: fourth and one third one. But I do think you're

249
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: gonna see a little bit more receivers running the ball.

250
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 4: Not saying that's your short yard, it's fixed, but I

251
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 4: do think they're going to go side to side. I

252
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: think you'll see CD running. I think you'll see Turpin

253
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 4: Cooks those guys. But when it's time to really run

254
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: the football and get in there, I think Dak will

255
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: do it. And I think they're gonna try and see

256
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 4: what Poler can do and who knows Hunter Lifkey might

257
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: get a few snaps in there as well. All right,

258
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: before we take a break, we're gonna go one more

259
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 4: call here. I'll go back to the phone line. Brian,

260
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: Kansas City.

261
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 9: What's up, Hey, Good morning, Nick? How are you?

262
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: I'm great? Thank you.

263
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 6: Hey.

264
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 9: I got a couple of backup questions now that we're

265
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 9: getting into game week. So I'm not sure if Tyler

266
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 9: Smith is out, I'm not sure who goes in for him.

267
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 9: And you know, the other one I'm not sure about

268
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 9: is who's not so I think Jay Lou fills in

269
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 9: if Bland gets hurt. Who's the first up on the

270
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 9: boundary at corners. I'm just not sure who that is.

271
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 9: And I'll hang up and listen. Thanks, brother, thank you.

272
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: Don't make me say it. It's early, it's still like

273
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: a Tuesday. It Benogay, Maybe I think that's I think

274
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 4: that's how you say his name. I've been working on it. Noah, Noah, Igby,

275
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 4: I Iszy whatever, he's gonna have a nicknamegy. I think

276
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 4: that's right. I would see I would. I would probably

277
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: say he'll get in there. But but again, this this

278
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: first week, I don't see Jordan lewis being active. I

279
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: don't think he's ready yet to be active for this game.

280
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: So Deron Bland uh, like you said, will be like

281
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: the third corner uh Igby, And then you know Eric

282
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: Scott might have to play because you you have uh

283
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: nay Sean Wright. Uh, he's he's he's not on the

284
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: roster as of right now. The boot is off, but

285
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 4: I I think they moved him over to to I

286
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: R to return. So as it stands right now, I

287
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: think Eric Scott or Igby, uh, what would be the

288
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 4: guys to come in there. And then the first question

289
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: you said about if Tyler Smith doesn't play at guard

290
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: man don't even go down that road. I'm that that

291
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: that shuffles some some things around. I think I think

292
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 4: you would see brock Kauffman, he would, he would get

293
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: in there at guard if Chiu Maidoga is not ready.

294
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: So that's that's a good thing to monitor. Let's look

295
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: at the roster moves for this week, and also we'll

296
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: be able to see in practice on what they can do,

297
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: because sometimes roster moves will tell you how a player

298
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 4: is doing physically. When they start moving guys around or

299
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 4: signing guys up from practice squad or things like that.

300
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 4: So let's see, well, we'll monitor that this week. A

301
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 4: lot of it will determine from the MRI today that

302
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith has all right, We're gonna take our only

303
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: break here on Cowboys storyline will be right back for

304
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: more calls and tweets.

305
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: Fall is here and that means football is back, bringing

306

00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Cowboys Storyline. I'm nick Yapman here. We

341
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 4: got the second half of the show and one of

342
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 4: the questions we had. Actually, I'm pulling this up from

343
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: a couple of days ago. Pete from California just had

344
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: another question. He sent me a random one. Here's a

345
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 4: random player of the day to remember. And I love

346
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: this because I love just bringing back former guys. He said,

347
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: what about Scott laidlaw Man. Now that that's a blast

348
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: from the past. That's like one of the first years.

349
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 4: That's like early eighties, late seventies, like a backup, full

350
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: back type guy. He had long hair. I think he

351
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 4: played a lot of special teams. I have blocked a

352
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 4: couple of punts there. Scott Laidlaw cool name, but you know,

353
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 4: Dorset was the guy running the ball, so he didn't

354
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 4: get a lot of a lot of tots there. But

355
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 4: I love it. I love bringing back Usually I'll have

356
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 4: a story for you, especially if it's somebody I covered that.

357
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes these guys trigger different things. Oh that

358
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: was the guy that did this and this. But Scott

359
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: Laidlaw's a little bit before my time. But I do

360
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: know number thirty five running back? All right, let's go

361
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 4: to the phone line. Allen from Montana, Alan, what's up.

362
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 6: Hey, Dick. It's awesome, good to hear the show.

363
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 4: Who's your random player? You got a random player?

364
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

365
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: Favorite favorite player?

366
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 6: I always like when when I was a linebacker that win?

367
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 9: Okay, ye, all right for sure?

368
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: What's your question?

369
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 6: My question is always looking for comparisons and stuff where

370
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 6: a football fans were horrible at doing this. But with

371
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 6: the new offense, are we can we look at maybe

372
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 6: something close to what forty nine ers a couple of

373
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 6: years ago over running with their running backs and he'ven

374
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 6: throwing in some Deebo Samuel.

375
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I mean who would be that guy?

376
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 5: Uh?

377
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 9: Cd?

378
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: Wh Who do you want to run the ball and

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

380
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: like guy?

381
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 6: Yeah? And I don't know if we Probably the closest

382
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 6: comparison would be Tony.

383
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 9: Pollard, But.

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

385
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 6: if we have a young guy that would.

386
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 4: Yeah close, That's that's a tough one. I mean, I

387
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 4: appreciate the call, and then I'll get our wheels in

388
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 4: motion there thinking about that. You know, like I said earlier,

389
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: it is a copycat league and you're always looking for that.

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

391
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: you got to find that guy like that. There's there's

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

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

394
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 4: I think it's receivers that can run, maybe not so

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

396
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 4: up and go down the field and catch the deep

397
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: ball and all that. I think if the Cowboys are

398
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: going to do that, and they sort of have a

399
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 4: little bit with uh with CD, they've run the ball

400
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: with him a little bit, but not a lot, and

401
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 4: that's not He's pretty tall, and I remember they they

402
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: did are pitched against Washington and that press box is terrible.

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

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

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

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

407
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 4: of that. Let him run routes like you know, it's

408
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 4: not a back. He'll do it occasionally and that's good,

409
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 4: but I think for the most part, you need a

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

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

412
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 4: fin and you know for his body frame. So I think,

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

414
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 4: a lot of Deebo Samuels out there. And his first

415
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 4: comment about that win, yeah, that went what a what

416
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: a fun player he was to cover and kind of

417
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: a funny story about him. I hadn't seen him in

418
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 4: about fifteen years. I had not seen that win by

419
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 4: fifteen years. We did an interview with him, just like

420
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: back in July, and he came up here. We did

421
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 4: an interview, we put some stuff with him. We're gonna

422
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 4: work on a project with him maybe later on down

423
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: the road. And then two days later, I amount a

424
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 4: Ranger game, a foul ball comes right next to us.

425
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 4: I almost got it, didn't get it. They gave it

426
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 4: to this kid next door that went that wind like

427
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: sitting right right next to me. So it's kind of funny.

428
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: You see a guy twice and in a couple of days,

429
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 4: hadn't seen him in fifteen years. But he's looking great,

430
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: uh and doing really really well for himself, just business

431
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: adventures and stuff.

432
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: Like that.

433
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: All right, let's go back to the text line here.

434
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 4: Skip from Virginia. You're right, skip because I skipped the

435
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: player on a player that would probably fill in here,

436
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 4: even though it was so weird because one of my

437
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: favorite players on this team rookie free agents is TJ. Bass,

438
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 4: and I just kind of skipped over him. I apologize

439
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: for that. TJ. Bass would factor into this backup line.

440
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 4: Maybe start maybe start at left guard. I say that

441
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 4: because it's like a little bit. I mean, anytime you're

442
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 4: going in the Meadowlands week one, you got you know,

443
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 4: a rookie guard. But hey, it happened last you know,

444
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: last year week one. I mean you had Tyler Smith.

445
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 4: Now he was a first round pick, but but he

446
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 4: was playing left tackle. It hadn't done it a lot,

447
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: and he played well. So yeah, I mean it's gonna

448
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 4: have to be somebody like that. You know, you do

449
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: have two rookies backing up and Austin Richards and then

450
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 4: uh t J. Bass, and so you know it's it'll

451
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: you hope that not go that that route. And then again,

452
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: like I've said it three times already, well we'll see

453
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 4: on what the status is for for the left guard

454
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: or Tyler Smith, and he'll have a hamstring injury that

455
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 4: he has this week. This today, he'll have the MR today.

456
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 4: We'll see what his status is there, all right, looking

457
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 4: for some more questions here. This is a five oh

458
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: five area code. Didn't put a name there, but still

459
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 4: talking about Dexter Lawrence from the Giants. Other than neutralizing him.

460
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 4: What's the biggest thing to worry about with the Giants defense?

461
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 4: That is the biggest thing to worry about it. So

462
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 4: you want to you know, you start there, and you

463
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 4: start and that's always you know, in the middle, there

464
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 4: in the trenches. That's kind of where where it all originates.

465
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: And and especially when you're looking at potentially you know,

466
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 4: changes at left guard if if if, if Tyler Smith

467
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 4: can't play, So it doesn't it doesn't branch out too

468
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 4: much more than that. I mean, they they they've got

469
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 4: some some some cornerbacks there you know that that have

470
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 4: played and and they're you know, they they've they've got talent.

471
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 4: The Giants, they're scrappy team. I think what they do

472
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 4: is they they rally to the football well, and that's

473
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 4: that's kind of what they're their coach preaches. I mean,

474
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: they are a tough football team, but they they have

475
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: to prove to me that that they've gotten better from

476
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 4: from last year, because the Cowboys wore a better football

477
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: team than the Giants easily they But I give New

478
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 4: York credit for staying in those games because I remember

479
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: in the first game up in the Meadowlands, the Giants

480
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 4: actually had the lead on a touchdown run by by

481
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 4: Saquon and You're thinking, like, how is this happening? Like

482
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 4: Dallas is a better football team. They just they just

483
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 4: shooting themselves in the foot and they dropping passes, their penalties,

484
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 4: and then once they kind of got it going, you know,

485
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: they took over and won that game. And then Thanksgiving

486
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 4: they were way better. They had a big lead and

487
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 4: then they let the Giants kind of score late, made

488
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: it look a little closer than it was, but it

489
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: really wasn't. I think in those two games, Dallas was

490
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 4: clearly better than the Giants. Let's see if things have

491
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 4: changed this year. We're gonna be about to find out

492
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 4: here in six days. But going back to that game,

493
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 4: I think whenever the CD LAMB documentary or Football Life

494
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 4: or whatever, you know, Deep Blue, whatever we end up

495
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 4: doing with Ceedee Lamb I think it's gonna come back

496
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 4: to that Giants game in Week three. I think that

497
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 4: is the game that propelled him for being that guy.

498
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 4: He was, you know, number one receiver. This is his

499
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: first year doing it. First two games, you know, with

500
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 4: Dak getting hurt in Cooper Rush, he hasn't really elevated

501
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: himself yet to that spot. And then he goes to

502
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: you know, Sunday Night football, drops a pass over the

503
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 4: middle was wide open. It could have been a touchdown, Like,

504
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 4: what's wrong with this guy? And then it just you

505
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 4: can tell he just got he was pissed, you know,

506
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 4: and he started making catches and he was trying to

507
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: run over people and you know he doesn't have the

508
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 4: body to do that, but he's trying. He makes a

509
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 4: great touchdown, one handed catch, and he became that guy

510
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 4: in the game that that that game had started poorly,

511
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 4: it had ended well, and it just ignited him to

512
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: the rest of the season. You know, he was a

513
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 4: second team All Pro last year and it was I

514
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: think it all came down to that game right there.

515
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: So all right, looking for some more more questions here, Uh,

516
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 4: we've got one from Jay hen which taw Kansas. He

517
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 4: says how dangerous do you think a NASCAR pass rush

518
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 4: package would be? How often do you say, do you

519
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: see DQ deploying such a package with all the pass

520
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 4: rushers that they've got, So they do have some rushers

521
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: and and and a lot of that. I think the

522
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 4: reason why people think that maybe Mike should move to

523
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: linebacker some is just because it's why don't why don't

524
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: we just get our rushers on the field, the Sam

525
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 4: Williams and the Dante Fowlers and Endorrance and and and

526
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: tanks and then and then we can have Micah linebacker

527
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 4: and all that stuff. But which I hear you, but

528
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: I do think that that Mica needs to be rushing

529
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 4: the passer, probably from the edge. That's what he's that's

530
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 4: what he's great at. So as long as he's doing

531
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 4: that for the most part, I'm okay switching it around

532
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 4: now and again before he needs to be getting after

533
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: the quarterback, flip sides, sometimes over the center, whatever whatever

534
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: he needs. But I I I definitely think that he

535
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 4: needs to to be a guy that that rushes all

536
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 4: over the field. And then you know, if you play

537
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 4: some linebacker, great. I think Demone Clark's gonna have a

538
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: really good season. I think he might be one of

539
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: those those wild cards to really put this this defense

540
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 4: over the top this year. I think I think Gilmore

541
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 4: the addition of him that will help with Bland and

542
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 4: of course Digs, but I think Gilmour Dmone Clark and

543
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 4: you know, I still think Mazzie Smith is going to

544
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 4: help this defense a lot because strength to strength and

545
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: he'll he'll figure it out. He's gonna get good coaching.

546
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: He's gonna you know, and I'm not saying he's he's struggling,

547
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: but he hasn't had that huge impact that you expect

548
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: so far. He hasn't had the opportunity just yet. These

549
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: preseason games he's played some he's not playing with with

550
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 4: you know, put Micah next to him and see if

551
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: he if his rush is a little better. Let's see

552
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: if he does a better job inside. I mean these

553
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 4: defensive tackles. He need the outside guys just like the

554
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 4: outside guys need the defensive tackles as well. All right,

555
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 4: let's look at George from Orange City, Florida. So I

556
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: know it's early and not on the radar, how do

557
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: you see how do you see the Digs versus Diggs

558
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 4: match up? If they meet what what do you what

559
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: are you saying here? What we wear his digs? Gonna

560
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 4: play digs? I'm kidding, we do play what is that

561
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: late December? They're gonna they're gonna face each other. Then

562
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: they're gonna face each other a couple of times, maybe

563
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: in the Pro Bowl again, maybe in another game, you know,

564
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: if if the Cowboys and Bills were to ever do that.

565
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 4: But they do play mid December up there in Buffalo,

566
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: and it will be cold, and it'll be I'll say

567
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun, but probably won't be. It's not

568
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 4: a it's not a great trip. But it should be

569
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: a good game though. I mean, that'll be a good

570
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: test because both teams will probably be fighting for for

571
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 4: some kind of you know, playoff implications. You know, there's

572
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: two guys that know each other well, they work out

573
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: with each other in the offseason. So I think that

574
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 4: that it'll that'll be a fun matchup. I'm not sure

575
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 4: if it's a you know, now, the Trayvon will probably

576
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: want to follow him all over the field. I don't

577
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 4: think you do that all the time. I think it

578
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: probably hurts your defense if you do that all the time,

579
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: because you don't want to let people know what you're doing,

580
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: what coverages you're running, and things like that. So you know,

581
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: you we've seen him do that. We've seeing him go

582
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: after Washington's Terry McLaurin, and he'll follow him, but not

583
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: maybe for the entire game. But I think it'd be

584
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: a great matchup because they know each other well, and

585
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: you know, you don't have to do a lot of

586
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 4: studying for for that game. You have to study with

587
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 4: the with the offense, with the Bills offense is doing.

588
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 4: But but I think that you know, from a from

589
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 4: a quickness standpoint, now Diggs likes the stuff on, likes

590
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: to line up in the slots some as well, so

591
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: that that might change what the Cowboys are doing. You know,

592
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 4: they have better slot corners, I think than Trayvon, but

593
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: you know that they'll go after It'll be fun. Of course,

594
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 4: throwing the ball in mid December and Buffalo won't always

595
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: be the easiest thing in the world. So that's gonna

596
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: be one where you definitely got to get your running

597
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 4: game going. But that's not the game in New York

598
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 4: that we're really talking about. That that's down the road.

599
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 4: They do go to New York a little earlier than that,

600
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: like in five days and Saturday will be heading up

601
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: there to uh take on the giants in the meadowlands,

602
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 4: and that's certainly gonna be a fun one. It's not

603
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 4: the first time the Cowverys and Giants have squared off

604
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 4: in week one, but it's the next time and that's

605
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 4: the one we're all excited about. All right. I think

606
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 4: that'll do it for today's show, quick, quick, and easy.

607
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 4: That's why it's gonna be stay tuned to our schedule

608
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: to see if our time slot changes. I think it's

609
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 4: still gonna gonna stay at ten o'clock for this week,

610
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 4: and then we'll see what it looks like maybe ten fifteen,

611
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 4: ten thirty. We'll see what McCarthy does with his press conference.

612
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 4: But it's gonna be in this area right here, and

613
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,320
