I think if the Cowboys knew that fans actually wanted to see full length interviews and not just the star players they would give us what we want. We just need to find a way to voice this to the website. I find it extremely annoying that the website doesn't think the fans want to see anything more than Witten talking about being mentioned as the best cowboy of all time by Romo and Dez talking about Sherman. I want to see Dunbar, I want to see McClain, I want to see any interview. Let me decide whose interview I do and don't feel like watching. That was my biggest problem with Ed and I hope it will change going forward

Exactly.............put everything on the site and let the fans decide what they want to watch.

You don't even have to clutter up the pages either, just have all the videos listed under multimedia and let people click on what they want to watch. Its not like they are limited on bandwidth here, they could load 100 videos up and leave them there for a couple of days and replace them with new ones then.

I don't get what is so complicated about this.

TBH I don't see all the hate for the Lunch Break or Talkin Cowboys' crews- save for Steve Dennis- who is a complete jerk...

Kelsey and Ed are just kids. I thought Ed did a nice job on the show and Kelsey is pleasant enough to be likeable even if she's in over her head at the moment. If Ed was in charge of the digital media side of dc.com, yes it needed work. Rowan was very good. I think Broaddus is the bright spot of Talkin Cowboys. His back and forth with Mickey (don't get me started) is fun at times.

Nick- seems a bit entitled but at least he's put the years in with the organization and does a decent job of referencing past team situations. And he's improved his attitude the past few years quite a bit. I used to think that you would hear Nick was hospitalized by an angry Cowboys scrub for being a ******.

What's funny is Nick's knowledge of the team completely pales in comparison to a LOT of 'Zoners (not including myself), but sadly not all of us went to school to be journalists or whatever Steve Dennis thinks he is. I met the guys down in Tampa one year and i was very impressed with Derek Eagleton, who I think is now in charge of dallascowboys.com in total.

I'm surprised that so many have a problem with Cahill. I've seen some other NFL websites and we should count our blessings. To me, Ed seems balanced and professional in his views and he is a pleasant individual. There's something to be said for that. I agree with those who say Eagleton needs to come back to The Break. I miss him and I will miss Cahill and Kavner.

orlando city sc? :laugh:

keep hating on my boy mickey, at least he's loyal like a hound dog. these young guys are leaving faster than we can figure out their names.

cahill sucked. we used to get twice as much video content. now we get romo, witten, dez, and one other player. even then we used to get 8-10 minutes of video for each player, cahill decided to chop it up into 3 minute highlight pieces. as if we don't have the attention span to watch the entire video. this news is almost as good as a win in seattle.

Some are stuck in the belief that we are "normal" fans. The reason they went to 3 minutes is because no one was watching the 10 minute ones.

Maybe Talkin Cowboys will actually not suck going forward.

Ed totally turned it into a freaking joke with his "twitter on the 20", which was never 20 mins long, nor 20 mins into the show, nor 20 comments in length so why the hell he named it that is beyond me. He also played some beat rap music during the segment and sometimes on the pod cast the music is too loud and you cant hear the questions..........just a total flustercluk.

The "game draft" sucked also. Everybody picks three players, Ed talks up his picks if he had 1 guy that did anything, Broaddus complains the whole freaking time about where he has to pick, Mickey acts like he doesn't care and then pulls out like 5 sheets worth of stats to make his picks.................just a total waste of time and boring as hell.

Ed also must be on the take with NFL Rewind because he cant go one dam show without mentioning it 50 freaking times. Yea, we get it Ed. You can go watch condensed games and you use it to scout the next week's opponent and it only takes you 30 min to do it. You have only mentioned this like 800 times already......................dam, just annoying as hell.

Finally, as others have said, his video stuff on the site is borderline comical. He must think we all have ADD because he edits the clips down to like 2 freaking mins.................................just pathetic

I find it amusing that you know all the details to the parts of the show you are complaining about. Obviously it didn't stop you from listening.

i really hate to be so happy...but i am so happy about this....i really liked what Ed did as the multimedia guy, but when he got himself so into being a part of the shows and hosting it not only caused those shows to start becoming unbearable but the media stuff also suffered greatly.

best of luck to him in his future though he seems like a great guy...just a terrible radio guy sorry to say

Exactly. Needs to stay behind the scene. I'm not a fan

I dont get all the hate for Eatman, i guess the sarcasm rubs some people the wrong way. Personally i find it to be kinda funny.

In the 2013 training camp, during the Blue-White scrimmage, Nick Eatman was calling out players that had not been on the team in many years. He thought one of the RBs was Keon Lattimore who had not been with the team since 2009. He called out many others who were not on the team. Apparently he had an old roster and was referencing them by their Jersey number.

I just don't know how this can happen with a guy that works for the team.
