35
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: had yesterday. At the end of the day, I was like, man,

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: it was so busy, Like why am I so tired?

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: And I realized that when we come out to training camp, Uh,

38
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: there's always this one big opening press conference on the

39
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: first day we're here. A lot of storylines, a lot

40
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: of things, a lot of headlines that are made by

41
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry and Steven McCarthy and everybody. And then

42
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: the next day we have our first practice and then

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: a different sets of storylines. Well it was all jammed

44
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: into one day yesterday, and so that's why it was

45
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: so crazy. And so hopefully now we can kind of

46
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: breathe a little bit more, but still a lot, a

47
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,640

00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: Just real quick.

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: I heard the second collar while I was on hold.

58
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: He was somebodyho's been wearing his shirt all the time

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: and I haven't worn mine yet. I'm saving mine for

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: the game days. Good season. I'm gonna wear that shirt

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 4: on while I'm watching the Cowboys every week.

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: Uh. It's a good Sunday. It's pretty soft, chill, you know.

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Alice, I love it. Yeah, but uh, his Trey

64
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: Lance is he doing anything yet?

65
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Uh? He was out there, I mean he was, he

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: was out there doing his thing. But no, I mean

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: it's it's still early but yeah, I mean I don't

68
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: think the back of quarterbacks had the best practice yesterday.

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean there were some passes thrown into the into

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: the sideline, into the end of the fence. Not not

71
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: as great as we've seen in the past. And uh,

72
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: you know it's better from him as well, but we'll

73
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: see it. You know. It's early.

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a lot of people are really stressing

75
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: over the contract. But if you I mean, if you

76
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: think about it, I mean, Micah, I mean, they could

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 4: they could wait two years to do his deal and

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: then Dak. I mean, they're not gonna win that code anywhere.

79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: They're they're gonna I'm they're gonna come to an agreement,

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: I believe. And then, like you were talking about the

81
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: other day, I had to listen on.

82
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Your first one.

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: I wasn't able to get on. But CD's got plenty

84
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: of time. I mean, you know, it's just what seven

85
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: weeks before before the first game or something like that,

86
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: reagless season, So they're gonna get him fined. I'm not

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: worried about it.

88
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I agree, I mean that's kind of

89
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: what they said yesterday too. They made that statement that

90
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: or at least Jerry did that. He didn't. He didn't

91
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: foresee that going anywhere, and so but you know, you

92
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: never really see it until it happens. But but they can,

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, they can get it done. It's just gonna

94
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: be weird now, like do they do anything in the

95
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: middle of the season or at least now that the

96
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: training campus started, you know, will they get something done

97
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: because I think when they get to the regular season

98
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: it might even be harder. And then then what happens

99
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: when he plays and if he plays really really well

100
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: without a contract, that's gonna be tough. I think to

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: to to re sign him. But you know, Jerry, Jerry

102
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: could get it done if he wants to. You know,

103
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: we know this money talks well.

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: Most of the sporting world. The people who talk are

105
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: really really really underestimating Cowboys this year figure and they're

106
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: just you know, they're not gonna do that. I mean,

107
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: I don't I don't agree with him. I think they're

108
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: gonna have just as good a season as they've had

109
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 4: in the last few years. In my opinion. I just

110
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: hope they get I just hope they do that didn't play.

111
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, no, I that's you're right. I mean, but

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: then again, how how do we go about that? You know,

113
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: how do you continue to do this and be a

114
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: fan every day and all that? And you're right, I

115
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: mean that's that, that's the the dark cloud just kind

116
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: of hanging over them a little bit, and there's nothing

117
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: you can do until you get there. But you have

118
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: to get there. That's the thing. You can't say worry

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: about the playoffs. And Jerry, I think, was trying to

120
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: say that he feels like his team is good enough

121
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: to be a playoff team, but uh, you know, you

122
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: this is going to be a grind to get to

123
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, this is not it's not easy.

124
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: The schedule won't be easy, and it's not designed to

125
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: be easy when you when you win your division. So

126
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be a challenge. And I

127
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I think it'll be. It'll be

128
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: a lot tougher than it was last year. I don't

129
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: think we'll be sitting here like, well, we'll see what

130
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: happens in the playoffs. I think it'll be a fight

131
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: all year along to get there. All right, that m entertainment, Sure,

132
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: well you can you can rest asshirt. It's always going

133
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: to be entertainment. I mean, it'll always be entertainment here,

134
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Michael, appreciate that, Michael for Bowling Green, Kentucky.

00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 7: But very much, thank you, sir, and and I got

157
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 7: I got a shirt that I'm gonna be getting out

158
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 7: to you and Chris. I'm gonna try to make it

159
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 7: out there, but I got a lot of stuff going

160
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 7: on with work, so I don't know if I'll be able,

161
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 7: but for sure i'll get that to you. But what

162
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 7: I want to say is, you know this team, we

163
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 7: have a good team, you know, and there was things,

164
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 7: you know, people were saying lack of free agency moves

165
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 7: this and that. I don't think that's gonna affect us

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 7: because I think that our depth was so rich that that,

167
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 7: you know, we we still have a good team no

168
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 7: matter what, even with with a couple of pieces that

169
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 7: we lost. And what I'm really excited to see is

170
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 7: I want to see I think that we just needed,

171
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 7: like you know, that little tweak to get our defense

172
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 7: from par And and if we could get our defense

173
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 7: up to par Man, I think that'll really cover up

174
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 7: for for a lot of you know, a lot of things,

175
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 7: and I think that can get us really far. So

176
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 7: I'm really excited to see with what Coach Zimmer's gonna

177
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 7: do and and and and and hopefully, man, we can

178
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 7: get this thing turned around and and and progress father

179
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 7: further in the playoffs, you know. And and that's that's

180
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 7: pretty much it. And like I said, you know, God

181
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 7: bless everybody. Happy Friday, and you have a great jolcohol

182
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 7: and leave it at that, and good talking.

183
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: To you, you too, Thank you, Michael, appreciate that. Again,

184
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: another call about moving further in the playoffs, and that

185
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: is certainly the ultimate goal. I just think hopefully when

186
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: we get to the season, you know, I like to

187
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: keep it more week to week. I mean, because you know,

188
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: that's that's the way, that's the way you have to

189
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: you have to kind of you know, I mean, how

190
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: many times did he listened to Dak's press conference yesterday?

191
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: He what did he say? He got he gotta be

192
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: where my feet are, you know, he said that like

193
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: twenty times, it felt like. And he he's that's his

194
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: way of saying, I'm not looking ahead to the contract

195
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: or anything like that, and and and and that's that's

196
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: what helps him. And I think that's that's what this team.

197
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: I think that's what we all have to do about,

198
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, not looking ahead to the playoffs. Nothing is guaranteed,

199
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: nothing's given. You know, you don't you don't just move

200
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: from one to the other. That the Chiefs are aren't

201
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: going to necessarily you know that they're not you know,

202
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: penciled into the super Bowl, even though they should be

203
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: favorites to be there just how they've played. But you

204
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: know that they have to go and earn it. And

205
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: and that's what that's what we're doing out here. I mean,

206
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: that's what this this team has to do. You know,

207
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: I think there's some there's some good players that they

208
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: let go, starters, you know, I'd say let go they

209
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: they signed with another team. They they just couldn't resigned them.

210
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: They wanted to, They wanted to resign Dorm's Armstrong, but

211
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: just his money was way too high for them. Fifteen

212
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: million a year. I mean, that's that's probably double what

213
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: they were trying to do with him. So good for him.

214
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: You took advantage of the market, took advantage of being

215
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: with a coach here and with Dan Quinn and and

216
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, same with the otis same with a few

217
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: of those guys from that went to Washington. So but

218
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: but this team, as I said for Wednesday, this team

219
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: has to figure out how to to keep developing these

220
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: young players, these young draft picks, and it's their time

221
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: to shine. The opportunities right in front of them, they

222
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: gotta go seize it and uh and let's see if

223
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: they can do that. But that's that's kind of where

224
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: it starts. It starts right out here, all right. Lewis

225
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: is in Langston, Oklahoma. Lewis is third up, what's up?

226
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 8: What's going on? I'm I'm I'm kind of with Dak.

227
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 8: I want to kind of say week the week, that

228
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 8: game in the game. So but I was trying to

229
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 8: look back, I guess over the summer with the Michael

230
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 8: Parsons and Malik Hooker comments, and I don't I mean,

231
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 8: do you think that's going to kind of boil over

232
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 8: onto the field between those two or you know, as men,

233
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 8: do you like at that age, do we just like

234
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 8: sit down in front of each other to say, hey, hey,

235
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 8: I said what I said, is we gonna play this game,

236
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 8: do a job and squash it? Or do you think

237
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 8: there's one of them things where it's gonna be a

238
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 8: holdover and we're gonna see, you know, division between the

239
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 8: dagon defense and because I know, like you said before.

240
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 8: I mean, it's happened before, and I hope it doesn't

241
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 8: happen now because I've got a decent team and I

242
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 8: don't want them to be squabbling between the two and

243
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 8: then we end up with a mediocre defense because they

244
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 8: can't see out of out with each other.

245
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well if if, if they if the defense isn't

246
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: that good, it's not gonna be because Micah Parsons and

247
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Malik Hooker squabbling over that. I mean, I think it's

248
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: gonna be bigger than right. But to answer your question,

249
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: I think it's both. I think you said, have they

250
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: squashed it? Yes, they did. That's what Malik uh said

251
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: in his press conference yesterday. He said, Okay, okay, but

252
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: but but here's the thing. Cool, they've squashed it for

253
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: out here. Everything's fine, but wait till the wait till

254
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: the you know, he wasn't worried about it in the summer.

255
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: He was worried about it when it was happening. Then,

256
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: So if he's gonna Michael's gonna continue to say things,

257
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: will continue to do his podcast, I'm sure. And if

258
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: if there are issues during the season and he maybe

259
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: he doesn't play as well, maybe they're not stopping the

260
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: run whatever that Those are the type of things that

261
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: could resurface again. So yeah, you can say they squashed it,

262
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's the summer, it's we're here training camp.

263
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: But what happens when things pop up again playing? Well,

264
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: it's obviously in his mind, it's probably in a few

265
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: other players mind. So I'm not saying it's a it's

266
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: a dead thing, because you know, the reason why it

267
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: came up before could come up again, and that's what

268
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: they got to make sure. But Michael's just got to

269
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: just play. I mean, he's just got to do his

270
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: thing and be and be the player that he's been.

271
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: A lot of things get forgiven when you go and

272
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: you sack the quarterback on third and nine and force

273
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: the fumble and you Cowboys win the game. Like I

274
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: think a lot of things will be forgiven by then.

275
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: But you know, those see how Zimmer's defense does with him,

276
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: and and maybe he'll be even more of a complete player.

277
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 8: Yeah. And then my next thing was, outside of what

278
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 8: Malik said about Michael Parsons, I think one of the

279
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 8: damning things I heard was what he said about what

280
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 8: was Dan Quinn where he was kind of like if

281
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 8: the player couldn't catch home with whatever the play was

282
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 8: or what the simon was, they kind of just either

283
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 8: threw it out or molded around them. And I kind

284
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 8: of thought about, like was that really it did it

285
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 8: hurt them more than it actually helped them, because you know,

286
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 8: we don't know what players couldn't do what, but at

287
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 8: that time, like I mean, it kind of looked at

288
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 8: bad during the playoffs, So could they not have molded

289
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 8: something else or fixed something else or you know what

290
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 8: I mean? Like I don't really care about the Michael

291
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 8: Parsons thing, but if you got a player who can't

292
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 8: teach catch up with what Zim was gonna be teaching,

293
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 8: is he gonna be trying to mold the whole defense

294
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 8: or throw out a play because one person can't catch up.

295
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: Depend who that person is, you know, I mean that

296
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: is true if it's a if it's a young rookie

297
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: or a first second year guy and uh, you know

298
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: he like, it depends who the player is. They're they're

299
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: going if this is a player they paid money to

300
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: and he's going to be a starter, then then they've

301
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: got to figure out wasted to make it work. And

302
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: that's always going to be the case. The playoff game

303
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: was just weird because they they just tried to play

304
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: a different scheme, uh the Packers, and they felt like

305
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: they had to because of Gilmore's injury, and so it

306
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: was just a bad Yeah, it was just.

307
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 8: It was a it was a slot.

308
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: It was just like a it is a recipe for disaster,

309
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: and you know, and and they they couldn't they couldn't

310
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: stop the run. They just couldn't. And and it was

311
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: the Green Bay was just a better team and a

312
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: better matchup against them in that game.

313
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 9: Right, But yeah, it just made me.

314
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 8: Think about that comment as far as like, I mean,

315
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 8: it worked during the regular season, but you know, you

316
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 8: can see during the playoffs it didn't work. But if

317
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 8: we're going through that with Zimmer, is it really the

318
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 8: scheme or is it the players?

319
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: You know?

320
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 6: I mean?

321
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 8: And so that I think that's what I'm kind of

322
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 8: looking at him. I'm trying to keep an eye on.

323
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: Now.

324
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 8: I'm not out there like you guys are, and I'm

325
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 8: watching it on TV, so I can't really know who's

326
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 8: busting the player who don't know what's going on, But that,

327
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 8: to me, I thought that was the more damning comment

328
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 8: out of that whole thing, but outside of the Michael.

329
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Comment, yeah, I agree with that. I mean I think

330
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: that that he did have a good interview there and

331
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: he talked about a lot of different things. But you know,

332
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: he he came out here, Malik did and he said

333
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: some some some good stuff as well. So you know,

334
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, he's a player that

335
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to to seeing. Yeah, he's you know,

336
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: former first from Pick and he's had some injuries and

337
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys committed to him with a contractor. I think you'll

338
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: see some really a good season out of out of

339
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: Malie Cooker, definitely this year.

340
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 10: Yeah.

341
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: All right, well all right.

342
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: I go hold.

343
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 8: Some other people want to get on, So I appreciate it.

344
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: All right, Louis, appreciate that. Thank you for the call.

345
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: Remember too, we got a new number out here at

346
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: camp two one, four, three, eight seven, sixteen fifty nine.

347
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: We have the two lines open just like we did

348
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: in the past, no change except for the number. Also

349
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: the text line, which of course I don't have in

350
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: front of me, but you know who does have it,

351
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: Dave and fort Worth because he just texted for us.

352
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: So he says, I want to give others a chance

353
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: to call, but man Dak talking about how he may

354
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: not be here in the future. It felt very awkward.

355
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: A couple of Jerry mentioning Dak has to be all

356
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: in and stuff felt kind of weird just me. I'm

357
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: sure it wasn't just you didn't know if you looked

358
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: at it that way. I think, what what Dak said,

359
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, it was a little surprising for him

360
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: to say, just out of reality when you look at

361
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that he watched growing up and and he

362
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: saw that, you know, he saw change. I think he's

363
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: talking about Peyton Manning for sure. You know, Joe Montana

364
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: might have been a little you know, he might have

365
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: been a little too young for that. But but you know,

366
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: it's it happens. I mean, I can think of Dan

367
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: Marino that didn't change teams. What most of them do,

368
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, they want to keep playing. Brett Favre was

369
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: another changed a couple of times. And so you know,

370
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: it happens. And I think that you know, he understands

371
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: the business side of it, and and and that very

372
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: well could be a possibility. He knows what he wants,

373
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: his agent knows what he wants out of a deal

374
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are gonna look at it and see

375
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: what what they can do as well. And so this

376
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: is a really jerky thing.

377
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: You know.

378
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones did allude to that. How how you the

379
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: situation is with just having to try to pay these guys,

380
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: these three guys that all all at once, and you

381
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: know he mentioned, yeah, Jefferson got signed in Minnesota. They

382
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: don't have the same issues. Though they're trying to do

383
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: pay their quarterback. They also have another player in Micah

384
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: Parsons who wants to be the highest paid, you know,

385
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: non quarterback in the league too. So a lot a

386
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: lot to do and they're I don't know what the

387
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: hold up is. We don't really know what it is,

388
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: but we just know it does take time. And I've

389
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: said this the other day. They always have talked about deadlines,

390
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: and they really don't have one right now. But but

391
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: I would imagine we'll be out here at camp and

392
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: they'll be there'll be a contract done out here. I

393
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: really believe that that would be the case. All right,

394
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: So let's go to Jeff and Salt Lake City, Utah.

395
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: Jeff good Man, how are you good?

396
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: It's been a while. It took one hundred and ninety

397
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: six times to call to get in, but.

398
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: I got in.

399
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, I just I wanted your opinion. I

400
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: was curious. I was listening to the news conference Love

401
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: yesterday and did it feel contentious at all? To you

402
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: or others that have listened. It seemed to me like

403
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: the front office kind of was up there, like just

404
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: defending the off season, all the negativity with the fans

405
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: and all that. What's your thoughts on that?

406
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: Uh, that's yeah. I mean you saw the pr director

407
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: up there as well. I mean that's kind of what

408
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: what happens. That's what his job is. That's what they do.

409
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: That's what they do. Uh. Sorry, I got distracted. When

410
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: when when Derek Eagleton comes by and he's got his

411
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys storyline shirt on today? I wonder if he's gonna

412
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: wear that shirt when they do the Break they're Friday

413
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: doing the Cowboys Break the Best podcast. You know, we've

414
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: got here. It is Friday. They're gonna you know, the

415
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: saving the Best for last. It's the debut. But I'll

416
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: see if Derek he goes. I'm sorry, I'm just distracted now.

417
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: My question. The answer to the question is yet that's

418
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: what they do that that seriously that that's kind of

419
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: that's what the opening press conference of a training camp is. Okay,

420
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hope. Do you know do they have hope?

421
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: And what is the hope? Why is he excited? What

422
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: makes Jerry excited, what makes Steven excited, and what makes

423
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: them excited is that they they is what Jerry said

424
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: is we have an outstanding football team, have an outstanding team.

425
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: And I agree with that as well. I think they

426
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: have a really good team, well outstanding. Will they have

427
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: to they have to come together to be outstanding. But

428
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: so the point is is that there's still really really

429
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: good players on the team. And the guys that they lost,

430
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: they lost them, you know they they didn't they couldn't

431
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: afford them, they didn't want them, they didn't think that

432
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: they were worth the money that they got. And they

433
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: feel like they've got players on this roster that could

434
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: step up and replace them at a much cheaper cost.

435
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 3: So, and I have one more, one more question for you,

436
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 3: basically want your opinion on this. Just like listening to

437
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 3: Steven yesterday and then Jerry talking about those three players Mike,

438
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: Acid and Dak taking up seventy five percent of the

439
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: cap if they were to max out their deals. That

440
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 3: I don't think that math adds up. But being a

441
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: draft and developed team, it just seems like lately, over

442
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: the last five years, we could have avoid Dallas, could

443
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 3: have avoided the situation they're in now if maybe they

444
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: would have staggered these contracts. And I understand the players

445
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: are trying to get, you know, the most that they

446
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 3: can get and all that kind of stuff, but I

447
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: just I feel like, and with Steven, I feel like

448
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: he's always mentioning the quarterback contract, so I feel like

449
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 3: he kind of throws Dak under the bus a little

450
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 3: bit with that. And I know it's negotiation in the

451
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 3: media and stuff like that. They're doing what they have

452
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: to do, but it's just frustrating when you see other

453
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: teams out there, like Detroit this offseason signing all their studs,

454
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: Philly continuing to sign all their good guys, and we

455
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: are best player or one of our best players is

456
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: not in training camp right now because he feels he's

457
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 3: not getting a contract offer worthy of what he deserves. Yeah,

458
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 3: and I know, you know, half the half the fan

459
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: base would probably like Dak not to return. But I'm

460
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 3: a Dak believer and I think he, you know, deserves

461
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: you know, top five money, you know, and I hope

462
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 3: it happens. I hope he stays. But I felt like

463
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: Jerry yesterday was almost kind of preparing us as fans

464
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: for possibly the departure of Dak next year when he

465
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: made the analogy of him not being able to afford

466
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 3: things in his younger years. And he got over it,

467
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: if that makes sense.

468
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he also said though, he also said that

469
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: he really doesn't see Dak not on the team next year,

470
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: you know, right, And I believe him when he says

471
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: that too. You know you you you said Detroit, you

472
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: said Philly, Philly's got problems now in their cap too,

473
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: Like I know you don't necessarily see it right now,

474
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: but but but why stop there? And I and I

475
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: say that because if you go around you look at

476
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: other teams, they've got those issues as well. There are

477
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: some there's Team San Francisco's in it right now too,

478
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: And so it's don't I'm not telling you not to

479
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: be frustrated that the best player on the team, or

480
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: the at least one of them, is not here. In

481
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: ceed lamb that's that's frustrating. They would be and they

482
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: probably could have done it last year, you know. And

483
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: and the funny thing is is that they didn't want

484
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: to pay twenty seven. You know, they didn't want to

485
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: pay twenty seven twenty eight million. Now they would love

486
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: to you know, now now they would love to pay that.

487
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you don't sign them early. They

488
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: go out, they have record setting year, and now the

489
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: price goes up up and this is kind of where

490
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: they are. But let me say one thing before, Jeff,

491
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: before you go, yeah, well, do you have another question?

492
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you gonna all free up the line

493
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: unless you have something else?

494
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: No? I, I mean I I that was just the

495
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: big thing for me was the press conference. But I'd

496
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 3: like to hear what you what you have to say,

497
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: because I trust your opinion.

498
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you. I appreciate that. And uh and

499
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, as always, Jeff, Jeff, So we'll

500
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: talk to you down the road, all right. One thing

501
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: that he said about seventy five percent of the cap

502
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: these three names, that that will never happen. Now I

503
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: know that you guys see, Okay, thirty fifty million a

504
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: year or whatever. Dax will say DA's one's sixty and

505
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: and then it's thirty four or thirty three or whatever

506
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: for for CD, and then Micah's gonna want this forty

507
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: and all that and you add that up. But remember,

508
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: like that's not how the cap works. Like you're looking

509
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: at average per year, but they'll never really be at

510
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: at that number, you know, especially like CD. I mean,

511
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: he won't be at that number for a while. Now,

512
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: that's the problem. You kick the can down the road.

513
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: Eventually you got to pay the piper. But they won't

514
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: all three be like that. And I think that's part

515
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: of it of how they're kind of trying to structure

516
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: this thing. So you can't just look at it and

517
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: say it's seventy five percent of it, because they can

518
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: be making fifty million a year and counting like ten

519
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: or twenty or whatever. That's just the way the Cowboys

520
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: typically run it. So it's not like they're going to

521
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: be handicapped with just three players there. They'll structure a

522
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: little different, which also structuring takes time. Doing this all right,

523
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: But as far as the overall press conference, I mean, yeah,

524
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: there were some there were some awkward moments like that

525
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: and really just time to face reality. But I think

526
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the day that they want Dak

527
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: to be here and definitely CD and I did get

528
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: the sense that they did talk about three contracts a lot,

529
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: but then there were also times where they talked about

530
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: two contracts, and so Micah, I just don't feel like

531
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: they know it's there, but I don't think it's in

532
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: a situation where they're really doing a lot of heavy

533
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: negotiating right right now, All right, let's go to Dylan, Northport, Florida. Dylan,

534
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: what's up, hey, mix?

535
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: How's it going?

536
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: Man? Good? How are you?

537
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: Let me?

538
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: Let me start before you get in here by just

539
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: saying thanking you to everyone about you getting the storyliners

540
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,800

Speaker 1: little bit about it and what you like about it

00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: and maybe try to recruit some other listeners to get

544
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: in there.

545
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,880

568
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: storylineers pagement. It was actually funny. It's I kind of

569
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: came up with the idea because we had talked a

570
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: couple of times last year about the chat rooms and

571
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: forms and all that, and you guys didn't really want

572
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: to go that route because you've done that before and

573
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: it gets a little weird in there, you know, not

574
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: really football related stuff. So I'm like, you know what,

575
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: I was little nervous to do it because I didn't

576
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: know if you'd be cool with it or not. I

577
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: didn't talk to you beforehand about it, and I was like,

578
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: I was sort the word unofficial, you know, in there

579
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: should be all right, And I reached out to Irene,

580
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: you know, we messaged each other all the time on Twitter,

581
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: and I was like, Hey, I'm putting this together. You know,

582
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: do you want to be a moderator in this thing

583
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: and help me grow it? And she was like, yeah,

584
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: let's do it. So she's done great, and we actually

585
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: had a plan.

586
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: It was funny.

587
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: On the last day of the last show last season,

588
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: we had a whole plan together to make sure that

589
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: you know, you guys called it out on air and

590
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: it was like Adrien was going to text him first,

591
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: and if it wasn't read, halfway through the show, I

592
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: was in the text in and calling We're going to

593
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: try our best to get that shout out, to get

594
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: that gone. Because the plan was, you know, with your

595
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: break coming up, to keep the momentum that you have

596
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: built all season going through that couple of months break,

597
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: and I think we did a good job with that.

598
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: And so, you know, every now and then we'll host

599
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: these spaces where we all get together and that's been great.

600
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: And my favorite part about this nick is that people

601
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: who don't get a chance to call in normally, but

602
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: they listen to the show habitually, but they can't call

603
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: in do to work or whatever it might be, they

604
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: get a chance now to come in and talk to

605
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 2: the community, you know, kind of face to face here

606
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: on these events. But we have a guy named Davian

607
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: who's super knowledgeable, great views, and he's a key particiantan

608
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: on these calls a lot of times, but he can't

609
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: call in because they're work and all that, So shout

610
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: outs to him. But yeah, so the twitter phage is

611
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: called It's a community, and it's called Cowboys Storyliners, and yeah,

612
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: we just basically chat man about football, about the Cowboys,

613
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: about the show. And we've got two hundred and fifty

614
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: plus members now. It keeps going up every time I

615
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: look at it. But I'm glad you're able to realize

616
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: it too, you know, and put shout outs for the

617
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: show information there as well. I thought been cool.

618
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yesterday was great for me or sorry Wednesday

619
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: to say, oh guys, we're doing a show. We're doing

620
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: a show right now. I need I need people, and

621
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: the guys definitely came through. All right, Yeah, funny.

622
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: It was one more thing I'm in the funny Like

623
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 2: last year, you know when you started up, it was

624
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: you know, I know you were needing callers and stuff

625
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: and over the little tough to get going on training

626
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: camp last year. I got over two hundred dollars today

627
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: to get in. So I think it's.

628
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: It's going good, perfect, thank you.

629
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, man, the lost caller, the lost caller, something

630
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: up for To get on this point, I actually did

631
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: some math. So I saw Jerry's statement about that seventy

632
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: five percent right on the cap, and so I took

633
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: the three highest paid players at their positions, so Joe Burrow,

634
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: Nick Polson and Usin Jefferson, and I looked up the

635
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: year they had the highest capit on these contracts, and

636
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: it adds up to about fifty percent of the cap.

637
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: That's taking into account like a ten million increase every

638
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: years in the salary account about fifty percent worst case scenario.

639
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: But we also have to take an account that Dak's

640
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: got almost sixty million dead money spread out over the

641
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: next four seasons as well, so you've.

642
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: Got to add that in.

643
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: You got to add in the fact that Michael is

644
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 2: going to get paid more than Bosa and then CDE.

645
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, he wants to get paid apparently more

646
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: than Jefferson from what Jerry's saying. We don't really know there,

647
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: but I could see a scenario if all of those

648
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: cap thats intersect at the right time where it gets

649
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: to like sixty percent. I mean, that would be crazy.

650
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: But we can also backload these deals, like you're saying,

651
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: and kick the can down the road from Mica and

652
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: cebe at least wouldn't dreff for Dak, but for at

653
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: least for those two. So it would be interesting to see.

654
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: And I think, if I had to guess, the biggest

655
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: hang up in this whole thing is probably the length

656
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: of the contract, especially Dak. That's going to be a

657
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: killer if he wants four years again.

658
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're you're right about that, I think. But

659
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: you said you did it with the with the the

660
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: highest number that that they hit. Are you talking about

661
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: Burrow and both?

662
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Burrow.

663
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: Has like another I think he signed through twenty thirty.

664
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: Both I had a few years left on his. Jefferson

665
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: just signed his. So I took the year where their

666
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: cat hit percentage is the highest on the salar cap

667
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: and I just added those together. That's like a worst

668
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: case scenario type thing that they can't get.

669
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: This mass right right, right, right right. And that's what

670
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: I was saying looking at the lowest number, because that's

671
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: what they're going to try to do here, to try

672
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: to keep this thing, keep this thing afloat and looking

673
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: at the lowest number. But it all counts. I mean,

674
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: at some point you have to do it, or if

675
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: you don't, you have dead money like they have next year.

676
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, the hardest part about all this, nick is

677
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: that exact thing is the mass on the structure. It's

678
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: not even the average per year. And I don't care

679
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: about that. I don't care about the overall contract value.

680
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: I just want to know when their cat hit is

681
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: going to be the highest, and they can't really happen.

682
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: At the same time, They've got to figure out how

683
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: to stature even if the contract links are all the same.

684
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: So that's probably the challenge they're facing, is my guess.

685
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, are all right? Thanks, Dylan, appreciate that.

686
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: Check out check out on ex Twitter Cowboys storyliners. It's

Speaker 1: gonna try to get in there as well. All right,

694
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,600

Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, man, that I probably got through just a

702
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 8: few things.

703
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 4: Man.

704
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 10: I'm a dark Cowboys.

705
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 11: I've got a five year old son named Dallas, and

706
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 11: my wife and I got.

707
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: Married six years ago.

708
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 11: I had a Dallas Cowboys seamed wedding.

709
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: I hope is she a fan? I hope?

710
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, of course she wouldn't agree to it if

711
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 11: she wasn't well.

712
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: She is now at least that's cool. Well that's awesome, man.

713
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 11: What do you got, Oh, just a few things, you know,

714
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 11: the whole Dack thing hearing about that off season, I

715
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 11: think they really like from what it seems to be

716
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 11: reading between the lines, it seems like they had like

717
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 11: a little conversation and he understands exactly what.

718
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: What is uh being asked of him?

719
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 11: And I think that's Super Bowl or US.

720
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I think they want to.

721
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 11: Lean towards Trey Lance if he shows he's worth something.

722
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 11: But I think if he bothers in the preseason, then

723
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 11: they'll definitely be giving Deck his money. And besides that,

724
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 11: I think Nathaniel Pete is gonna be somebody that this season,

725
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 11: I mean three seasons.

726
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: I think he might really be a game changer for interesting.

727
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not heard anyone say that. And it'll

728
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: be tough running backs that you won't see it out here. Uh.

729
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: You can see some speed and quickness and you know

730
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: a couple of nice you know, moves here and there,

731
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: but I mean you got to see it in the game.

732
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: And he's gonna have to be able to do enough

733
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: out here in what the coaches can see to get

734
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: the snaps in the game to make a difference, and

735
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge for him. There's a lot

736
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: of young running backs that that are ahead of him

737
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: that that also will be chomping at the bit. So

738
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: that's another name to throw out there. We'll see what

739
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: happened that. Nathaniel Pete rookie from Missouri, got a lot,

740
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: got a lot of speed. Uh, you know, he didn't.

741
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: He wasn't even a starter at his at his school.

742
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: I mean they had a fifteen hundred yard rusher there

743
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: in front of him. So usually you get to the

744
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: NFL you were the man in college and he wasn't.

745
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: So uh that that will be interesting to see how

746
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: he develops.

747
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think I think with that speed they'll find

748
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 11: the role for somewhere, whether it's special or I know

749
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 11: we got but still with the new kickoff rules and everything,

750
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 11: he might be useful there.

751
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see. I mean, another guy to throw it there. Yeah,

752
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: I like it. Uh. And as for Trey Lance, you know,

753
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: he's gotta he's got to show that he's better than

754
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. He's got to show that. Like there's a

755
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: lot of talk about is he going to be better

756
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: than dak He's got to be better than Cooper Rush,

757
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: and that hasn't always been the case. John. Appreciate the

758
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: call there in New York. Uh, let's keep it rolling here.

759
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: We we don't have as long as we we you know,

760
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: in the past we were able to just kind of

761
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: go until the calls kind of run out. We can't

762
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: do that. We have the we have the Cowboys break

763
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: right behind this here, and so we'll be out probably

764
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:07,479
Speaker 1: ten minutes before nine o'clock in California. So that being said,

765
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: I'll keep it going here. Jeff in North Carolina's next. Jeff,

766
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: what's up?

767
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 10: What's going on?

768
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 4: Nick?

769
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: What's up? Man? How are you?

770
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 10: I'm doing pretty good. It's been a while since to

771
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 10: talk to you. Yeah, y'all been gone. Of course they

772
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 10: wouldn't a whole lot going on in June either. But

773
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 10: happy birthday to you Dad. Get that out of the way,

774
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 10: and thanks for a T shirt. I got that. I

775
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 10: was real excited about that, but I was good. Tell you,

776
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 10: I've been a little frustrated, which I know that's surprising

777
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 10: for me. But because I've been so frustrated about I'm

778
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 10: tired of hearing about contracts and money and all this

779
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 10: stuff and I and I just really wasn't even excited

780
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 10: about camp until I watched the show the other day

781
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 10: and got me all fired up again. Yeah, now I'm

782
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 10: ready to go.

783
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 5: All right, I don't and I don't, you know, whatever happens, whatever,

784
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: if they pay the guys, they don't, if they don't

785
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 5: they if they move on, what if Ryan's just I'm

786
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 5: ready to watch some football, and whoever's going to be here,

787
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 5: we'll watch them play. I'm excited to watch Trey Lance

788
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 5: in the preseason. Well, you know, so we can see

789
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 5: one way or the other if they've got anything there.

790
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 10: So but uh, but I you know, I and I

791
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 10: and I'm not. I'm not getting down on the players

792
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 10: that the three guys that need contract. I understand that

793
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 10: the serve business and all. It's not all that. If

794
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 10: a part of the blame goes to Jerry them, I

795
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 10: think I think they've they could be proactive on some

796
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 10: of these deals where sometimes the player don't want to

797
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 10: sign the deal either. So it's just a lot of

798
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 10: things going. But I'm just I'm not. I'm just I'm

799
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 10: not gonna worry about it no more. Whatever they do,

800
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 10: if they're here, they're here. If they're not, they're not,

801
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 10: and we'll just go on with it. But uh, and

802
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 10: it's not just in Dallas, it's all over the league.

803
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 10: Got I heard where Trent Williams is holding out. Trent

804
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 10: Williams already got paid. I mean, come on, guys, they

805
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 10: got other guys that need to be paid then, and

806
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 10: he's holding now that San Francisco now, and it's just

807
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 10: it's just, I don't know, it's just frustrating that everybody

808
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 10: weren't about money and and but I know it's a

809
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 10: bus necessary, but.

810
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: Well, you know, and remember this, yeah, about about Dak.

811
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: I thought he said some he said a lot of

812
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: interesting things, but one of the things that caught my

813
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: eye was or I really perked up when he said,

814
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, he understands his obligation is different than others,

815
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: and he's got an obligation to the rest of the

816
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. And I think people forget that.

817
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if every wide receiver, the

818
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: top receiver one goes to the other wide receiver one

819
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the game and shakes their hand,

820
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: or the best corner does that, but every quarterback does it.

821
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks do that. That's their own little fraternity. And

822
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: if Dak doesn't sit here and push for the money

823
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: that he has earned of based off the season he had,

824
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: then that's not helping the other young quarterbacks and the

825
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: same thing. They're in this thing together. They played the

826
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: toughest position in the league. So he's got an obligation

827
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: to the rest of the quarterbacks to do it that way.

828
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: He's got an obligation to his football team that they've

829
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: already paid him to go out here and be here

830
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: in the first game. He's not holding out. He's never

831
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: really held out, and he understood Thans that as well.

832
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: He understands the business side of everything. He's got guys

833
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room that looking up to him that

834
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: that are depending on him, counting on him, that fans

835
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: you guys. And at the same time, he's also trying

836
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: to do it for the business side of it and

837
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: what's fair to him and his family. That's a tough

838
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: balance to do, and he's doing it, and so I

839
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: think we got to remember that aspect to it, and

840
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: I applaud that for that.

841
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, I do. I love Dak and I don't want

842
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 10: I don't want to see him go nowhere. I don't

843
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 10: want to see none of them go no where, although

844
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 10: personally I think it is going to be hard to

845
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 10: keep all three of them.

846
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: But sure, but we'll see.

847
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 10: I mean, maybe they'll get creative with it and and

848
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 10: work it out somehow. I really hope they can't get

849
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 10: CD done. I think, you know, I Bobby Belt said

850
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 10: out to day that somebody you know, I don't. He

851
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 10: wouldn't reveal his sore ser is either him or Zach Walschuk.

852
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 10: He said that they felt like the Lamb was going

853
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 10: to have a deal done by tomorrow. But you know,

854
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 10: we'll see.

855
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: But we'll see.

856
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 10: But I hope, I hope they can get it all

857
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 10: worked out. But I am I'm you know. After I

858
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 10: listened to the show Tuesday, I was, I'm back, super

859
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 10: excited for the season, and we'll see how it goes.

860
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 10: Just take one game at a time and just try

861
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 10: to enjoy the journey.

862
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: All right, Jeff, appreciate that.

863
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 5: Don't be fine, and hopefully I'll talk to you camp.

864
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: I have a good one. Man, Jeff seems a little down.

865
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: Can't be down. Man's just starting training camp like that.

866
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: I've heard that whole I mean, I've done this like

867
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: seven times now where it's like, Oh, it's gonna be

868
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be next week with CD, it's gonna be tomorrow,

869
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. No, it's not happening right now. It's

870
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: like it hasn't happened. I'm not saying that won't happen

871
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: today or tomorrow whatever, but I'm just I'm not doing

872
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: that anymore of being like, Okay, get ready, he get ready.

873
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: Story has been written, We're ready to go. Just got

874
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: to plug in the date whenever it happens. All right,

875
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas? What's up?

876
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: You know?

877
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 9: I I robbed that. How you doing?

878
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: Okay? Good? He's just gonna dive right in.

879
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 9: I know I sat higher, didn't hear.

880
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, all right.

881
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 9: Uh I watched a press conference. I thought I thought

882
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 9: it was a train wreck.

883
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 6: Uh.

884
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 10: I love Jerry. Jerry.

885
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 9: You know, for all these years, Jerry had fire passion,

886
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 9: and I just think the fire you don't have the

887
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 9: fire anymore. And I understandable. He's ay something you know

888
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 9: eighty you know, I get it. And Stephen, I just

889
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 9: have no confidence with Steven. Stephen just reminds me of

890
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 9: a numbers guy. And that's all he looks at and

891
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 9: sometimes you have to look beyond that. I always thought

892
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 9: the team is going to be good on the field.

893
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 9: I always my worry is off the field. And I

894
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 9: think you saw it. Mike McCarty looked like he was

895
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 9: being held hostage. I mean, I and Dak. I think

896
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 9: Doc is saying I'm not coming back. If I was

897
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 9: Dak Prescott, I wouldn't sign anything. Write it out. You

898
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 9: know what Dak is gonna be.

899
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 8: He's gonna be.

900
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 9: Thirty five touchdowns, nine interception.

901
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: It's going to be really really good.

902
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 9: And the Giants and other teams are going to throw

903
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 9: a boatload of money at him, and so that's gonna be, like,

904
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 9: you know what, I'm not appreciated. You know that they

905
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 9: don't appreciate him. I think that's out. So I think

906
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 9: he kind of saw that. And with the fans, I

907
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 9: think he was even calling out like the other call

908
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 9: said half the fan base saying, oh you want me gone?

909
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 10: Okay?

910
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 9: So I just I don't know. I just got a

911
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 9: bad vibe, especially if they get off to a rough start,

912
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 9: which is possible because they got some tough games. I mean,

913
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 9: I just the vibe was bad. I mean the questions.

914
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 9: I don't know who I asked, and I think it

915
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 9: was Kyla Short. I basically said, why do you keep

916
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 9: doing the same things for thirty five years whenever? And

917
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 9: there's no answer, And the answer is because Jerry.

918
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: Wants to be involved.

919
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 9: Jerry would have fired himself for any other position in

920
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 9: any of his businesses. But the Cowboys is his hobbies.

921
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Rob, I can't. I can't let you

922
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: say that it's not his hobby. And you said that

923
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have the passion. I don't. I don't agree with that.

924
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, I just don't.

925
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 10: Well, I just don't feel it.

926
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 9: But I don't see the old Jerry. Jerry used to

927
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 9: make deals and now Jerry, let's be honest, Jerry didn't

928
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 9: have to get anybody's permission, his son or anything. Jerry

929
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 9: would make deals. And Jerry talked about the old ways,

930
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 9: the old ways there was no salary cap.

931
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know that was the animal. Yeah. But

932
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: but you say, I don't see it. You don't see

933
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: it in the in a thirty seven minute press conference,

934
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, like like there's a there's a lot more

935
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: to it. And and I think what you're also saying

936
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: is you don't see it, and you thought he would

937
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: have gone in and done all this, you know, these

938
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: moves and and and to try to, you know, get better.

939
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: And I just think that you got to really understand that.

940
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: I mean, the cap, the cap is real. It's a

941
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: real thing. They really don't have it. It's not like

942
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: it is.

943
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 9: It is and it isn't. It's it's fake money. It

944
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 9: goes up every.

945
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: Year, okay, and it's been fake money. It's fake money

946
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: until it's real, and it's been fake.

947
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 9: But they're not good at it. Let's be honest.

948
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: Okay, they're not good at it.

949
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 9: They haven't been good at it for thirty years.

950
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: They're just not.

951
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 9: Good at going all in, all into Jerry. He's talking

952
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 9: about ticket sales. I don't believe that in a minute

953
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 9: that ticket sales were the highest. There's no way show

954
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 9: me that, all right, there's no way. Because as much

955
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 9: as I love the Cowboys, this fan base I never

956
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 9: heard it so down on this team. And it's not

957
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 9: because of the players. I think it's because of management.

958
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 9: They're seeing the Lions and the Eagles and going all

959
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 9: in and buying these players, and now you've got three

960
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 9: of the best best of the league and haven't signed them.

961
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 9: The message to your other players is like, they're not

962
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 9: gonna sign the three best, we got forget about me.

963
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually the opposite, I would we got to

964
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: I gotta get another caller. Thanks for the call, But

965
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: I will say I think it could be the opposite

966
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: to that. They're gonna not forget about what about me? No,

967
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: they are gonna sign you because they not necessarily can

968
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: get all three of them. So yeah, they'll they'll figure

969
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: it out. They always do. Maybe they don't do it

970
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: to the point of of your liking and getting it

971
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl level and all that. But I'm

972
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and say that this team, you know,

973
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: it's down. If the fan base is down, then it's

974
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: because of the expectations. To me are just too high.

975
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: I mean, and they should be. This is a good

976
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: football team. It has been. It hasn't been great. They

977
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to be great. Let's go

978
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: one more caller, Mike and a Popka Florida. What's up, Mike?

979
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 2: Hey are we doing good? How are you good?

980
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 6: Great? Techt again?

981
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 3: Great hit?

982
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 6: Our new season underway?

983
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: Aren't you the first caller? That we've ever had.

984
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 6: I was, sir, I will up edge honorably well.

985
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: And it's the first year, it's the it's the one

986
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: year anniversary of the storyline, So it makes sense for

987
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: you to be the last caller of this show. Mike,

988
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: what's up?

989
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: Well?

990
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 6: Hey, So a quick question then then just a comment,

991
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 6: So which position group in your opinion, is the strongest

992
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 6: that this team has and in which is the in

993
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 6: your opinion weakest, And then just one simple comment on

994
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 6: the on the contracts for these three guys. Uh In

995
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 6: January against Green Bay, none of these three guys really

996
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 6: showed up, and that's when we need them to show

997
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 6: up the most. And when I think about the nineties

998
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 6: teams and you had done it and Michael and Troy

999
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 6: and the biggest games, those guys always showed up and

1000
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 6: played their best games. And I remember CD and you know,

1001
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 6: the second drive of the green Bay game, he was

1002
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 6: on the burnstade to go talk to him. He was like,

1003
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 6: what the heck is going on? It's the second drive

1004
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 6: of the game. I find it hard when they go

1005
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 6: into the contract talks, which Steven said yesterday, is that

1006
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 6: they're wanting to be the highest paid non quarterbacks in

1007
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 6: the league, and Dark wants to be the highest paid

1008
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 6: quarterback in the league. To me, if you're going to

1009
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 6: demand that money, you have to show up in the

1010
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 6: biggest games, and they haven't proven yet that they do that.

1011
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 6: So just my comment on the.

1012
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: Contract, yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks, thanks Mike, and and

1013
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: unfortunately it just doesn't work that way all the time.

1014
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: It's the last one that we remember, you know, and

1015
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore fans are probably saying, well, it's the last last game.

1016
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He couldn't even win, you know, why is

1017
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 1: he the MVP? You know, it doesn't it doesn't work

1018
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: that way. It's a it's a huge sample size of

1019
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: a season. Dak had a great season. The Cowboys had

1020
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: a great season last year in my opinion. Now they

1021
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: didn't win and they were a huge disappointment, but the

1022
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But it's still it was a really,

1023
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: really good season and they won twelve games. Again, this

1024
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 1: is a good franchise with good players, and so that's

1025
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: that's the way look at it. I think a lot

1026
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: of times people just take what have you done for

1027
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: me yesterday type mentality to answer the question. The strongest

1028
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: position on the team that that is a that is

1029
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: a really tough question for me. I mean, I would

1030
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: probably I'm looking around and I'm thinking, Okay, who's got

1031
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: the best backup to the best starter, And it's probably

1032
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: quarterback honestly. I mean, I think Dak is playing at

1033
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: a very high level, and Cooper Rush, I think is

1034
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: a capable backup. And you got a third quarterback who

1035
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: was a number three overall pick I mean talent wise,

1036
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: and I think quarterback. And then the weakest will probably

1037
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: be running back. You just don't have running backs that

1038
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: that have done a whole lot. And you know you're

1039
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: now you're counting on Zeke really wasn't a starter of

1040
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: the last two years to be the starter, and no

1041
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: one else has really done it a lot. So that's

1042
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: but then again, all that can change, uh rather quickly.

1043
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: Here we'll see what running backs emerge. All right. We

1044
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: got to get out of here because we got Cowboys

1045
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: Break coming up here. They got a new lineup this year,

1046
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: uh not new names, but a new lineup, and it'll

1047
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: be fun to see what we've got there from from

1048
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: Derek and that crew here on the Cowboys Break. But

1049
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: we'll see you guys on Tuesday. Remember we go every

1050
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 1: other day during the during the weekdays, so we will

1051
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: not have a show on Monday. We go back on

1052
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: Tuesday and that will be our our first show of

1053
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: next week. So for everybody, Chris being thanks so much

1054
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: for all the callers. Good stuff. Guys. We will see

1055
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: you next week on Cowboys Storyline. See then.

1056
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 11: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and

1057
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 11: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

1058
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 6: Hey,
