00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: the start of the season. This is the last time

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 2: we're going to be doing this show at this time

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: here I think at eleven am Central Time. We're moving

Speaker 2: to ten am starting on Tuesday, and Tuesday is officially

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: game week. There will not be shows on Monday for

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: Labor Day. There'll be people in the building working. We

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: got practice going on and we'll be able to cover that.

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: But as far as shows, the shows will take a holiday.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: We'll get back on Tuesday and then everybody's time slot

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: it's going. We're going daily at this point. It's been

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: nice to kind of ramp it up, ramp it up,

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: just like the players do for preseason. You kind of

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: get it going a little bit. You don't, you don't

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: you're not here every day every other day. Of course,

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: Chris Beam, our producer, has been doing it every day

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: but not not the seven shows or eight shows or

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: at once that hits on Tuesday, and I'll be going

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: at ten am thirty minutes ish. We'll go thirty bit.

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: We may go a little bit more on Mondays and Tuesdays,

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: Wednesdays and Thursday, we've got we'll be getting out for

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy's press conference. But Mondays and Tuesdays after games,

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: and as we kind of turn the page to the

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: next game, we may go a little bit longer. We'll

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: see how that goes. But as far as far as storylines,

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: it's really all about the same. The roster is kind

33
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: of settled into what it is at this point. No

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: big surprises here in the last twenty four hours or so,

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: so this looks like what it's gonna be. And heading

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: in to the Giants game, I think Brandon Aubrey will

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: be the kicker. I think the offensive line. They added

38
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 2: Sean Harlowe a center for the practice squad. He may

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: or may not be ready for the first game. I

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: would bet brock Hoffman is the better choice there to

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: move up for game day. But what you do is

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: you have a couple of centers there, So that's that's

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: probably six weeks worth of you know, three each of

44
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: moving these guys up, and then at that point, you know,

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 2: you kind of see what happened. So all right, we're

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: gonna go to the phone lines. Last show was incredible.

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: We had eight calls. Last show was It was amazing

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. That's really what this show is

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: all about. When I can interact with you guys, whether

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: it be the text line or the calls. I'm gonna

51
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: throw the number out there, eight five five two two

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: nine seven. That's the phone line, the text line eight

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight, And

54
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: I believe we have a caller right now, Chris from

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: Mississippi on the line. Chris, what's up?

56

00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: for you, and and then I've also got a comment

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: that I would like to hear your feedback on. First

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: thing years. I have to say, when I first started

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: listening to Cowboys podcast, the first one I ever listened

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: to was The Break and I almost quit listening. I

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: thought it was you and David at first when I

65
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: first started listening, and then I realized it was mister

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: Ridgid David, I mean, not David, but mister rigid Derek

67
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: making everything kind of quirky for me. I just I

68
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: don't know, it's just something about how he does stuff.

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: But well that's my boss. So I'm not going I'm

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: not going.

71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: With you on that, but thing I can. I wanted

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: to also say thank you for mister Chris Bean for

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: being our MVP. We appreciate all you. And so when

74
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: you remember a couple of years back when everybody like

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: m Bard Deck and all these other people were saying,

76
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: all we need Dak to be more aggressive, We need

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 4: Dak to be more aggressive. If I remember, right, you

78
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: and Dave kept telling them, well, if you get more

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: more aggressive, he's gonna throw more picks. He's not going

80
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: to be a safe So I was actually calling to

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: call out some people to keep saying, oh, well, we

82
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: need that to be more than a bus driver. Well,

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: if you say that, then you cannot complain about the

84
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: picks that he throws. That's because that's the only way

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: he's going to be more than a bus driver or

86
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 4: have just a good safe quarterback, which is what we need.

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: And that's just my opinion. Thank you for the great show.

88
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: Appreciate it, have a good day.

89
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Chris. I appreciate the call. You know,

90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: those are my teammates too, so you know they all

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: have opinions. Well, we all have opinions, and I'm sure

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: that there's more to it than just saying be more

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: aggressive and all that. Sometimes sometimes it be more aggressive

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: is also running the ball to But you're right about that.

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: When you throw more passes, you're going to get more yards,

96
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: more touchdowns, and probably more interceptions. I always say the

97
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: fact that, and I know it's changed then, but I

98
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: do remember when Brett Favre was the leader in touchdown throws,

99
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: he also as the leader in interceptions. I think Babe

100
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: Bruce had a lot of strikeouts, but of course a

101
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: lot of home runs. That's the nature of it. It's

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: what happens. As for being more aggressive, being a bus driver,

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: all that stuff, you know, to me, it comes down

104
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: to what's the best thing that you do. If you

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: have a great running back, if you have a great

106
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: ground game, then yeah, being a bus driver is probably

107
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: really important. Don't make mistakes if the teams are counting

108
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: on you to go make the plays and do all

109
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: the things that you need to do. Then certainly you're

110
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: gonna have to be more aggressive at times, and with

111
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: that comes a little bit more interceptions. Go back to

112
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: that first year of Dak rookie year twenty sixteen, really

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: didn't throw a lot of picks. They were running the ball.

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Zeke was was doing his thing and it

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: was it was a great offense there. Jason Witten was

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: was was kind of a security blanket, so and Dak

117
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: didn't have to do a lot of forcing and he didn't,

118
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: you know, didn't throw a lot of interceptions. But as

119
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: time has gone on and they've needed him to be

120
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: more of that play. Sometimes you make plays for both teams.

121
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: It happens. But you're right that the Cowboys need to

122
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: get to the point where they can give him some

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: help where he doesn't have to do everything. All right,

124
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna go back to the phone nine again. We've

125
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: got Ernest though from Washington State. Washington State. What's that man?

126
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 5: Hey, just quick question. You've been doing this for a

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 5: long time. You watched a lot of different different offensive

128
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 5: coordinators with the Cowboys. I'm just wondering what do you

129
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 5: expect to see different Week one against the Giants and

130
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 5: or Brian Schottenheimer as oppose to what we've been seeing

131
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 5: in your staff from Kellmore and guys like that, like

132
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 5: Jason Garrett, that type of style offense.

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna hold on before you hang up,

134
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you. I'm gonna ask you a follow

135
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: up to your question. What do you want to see more?

136
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 6: What?

137
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: What do you like to see? What do you think

138
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: that you would like to see differently out of this offense?

139
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 5: So something that I'm kind of looking for is that

140
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: situational Well, I know this is going to tie to

141
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy's play calling, but I really want to see

142
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 5: more options for like they the play acts and I

143
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 5: know we did some play action under Kellen Moore and

144
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 5: it was pretty spotty, But I'm just looking for something

145
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 5: a little like just let Dak kind of go a

146
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: little bit, Let let him do what he's comfortable with.

147
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 5: And I could be wrong here, but I'm wondering, like

148
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: if under kell And it was like, Okay, this is

149
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 5: my system, this is what the players are going to do.

150
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 5: I'm wondering if under shot and I'm er if he's

151
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: going to put in things about he knows that Dak likes.

152
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 5: He knows that, Okay, Dak likes to do this, or

153
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: that I'm going to implement that in the offense to

154
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: let McCarthy call.

155
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, that's that's always key. And we appreciate the

156
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: call there, Thank you. And I'm glad you could kind

157
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: of throw that part in there too, because because that's

158
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: what I'm I'm interested to see. I mean, I have opinions,

159
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: but I want to hear y'all's opinions as well. I Mean,

160
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: there was something behind the question there about what do

161
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: we want to see? And and for me, it's it's

162
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: I want to see them utilize their their speed and

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: and and I love what I've seen in training camp

164
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: as far as the width of the of the and

165
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: using all of it. They they really do a nice

166
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: job of kind of getting these guys in space. That

167
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: was my biggest thing about last season when they lost

168
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: to the forty nine ers is they did not have

169
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: enough playmakers. They just couldn't compete with that aggressive defense

170
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. It was just CD at the end

171
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: of the game, and they they he did a nice job,

172
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: but they doubled him and there was no other running

173
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: back threat and now with the speed, I think Cooks

174
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: adds a lot. I think Gallup is better than he was.

175
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: Tolbert could maybe be that guy. You've got Pollard, you've

176
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: got Deuce. I think that you've got Turpin. I don't

177
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: want to forget him. I think Turpin's speed can really help.

178
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: So that's what I want to see is I want

179
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: to see them get the ball in space and you know,

180
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: easy quick throws in the flat, and see if these

181
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: guys can go make plays on their own, because if

182
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: they can do that, that'll open up the middle and

183
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: opens up the running game. Back to the calls, we

184
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: got another. We got Tim in Dallas. What's up, Nick?

185
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 7: How you do it?

186
00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 8: Sir?

187
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: I'm good man. For a second, I thought it might

188
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: be my dad. My dad, he lives in Dallas and

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 2: his name's Tim, So I was just like, oh what, yeah,

190
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: but I don't think so what's up?

191
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 6: Though?

192
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 7: Funny story before I get to my question about Hunter Libkey.

193
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 7: I was at the Arkansas Texas game in twenty twenty

194
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 7: one in Fayetteville. Oh yeah, I'm a Texas crad and

195
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 7: I kind of thought, I wonder, Yeah, I know, it's

196
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 7: been terrible decade, but I kind of thought, I wonder

197
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 7: Nick's here. So we were walking around the tailgates and

198
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 7: then we're going to head the game, and funny enough,

199
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 7: I ran into Jerry, Stephen and Shy and they saw

200
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 7: me with my text shirt on. They kind of gave

201
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 7: me a frown, so I said, you know what, I'm

202
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 7: going to keep walking.

203
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I was there, and I think I

204
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: have a picture on Twitter or something that that I'm

205
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: on the field and with the other fans that stormed

206
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: the field there, and it was like a lot of

207
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: people were asking, you know what, what's your thoughts, And

208
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: I was like, here's the picture, just to tell you

209
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: how how great it is and what my feeling is like.

210
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: That was one of my favorite games of all time,

211
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: just because you know, and it's and it's nothing against

212
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: Texas I have. I really don't have disrespect for Texas.

213
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 2: Of course, you know, I got people here in the

214
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: in the in the building, big Longhorn fans, But I

215
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: think it's more of a credit to them in the university.

216
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: When you beat Texas, you know, it's always a big deal,

217
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: regardless of they're at the top or not. So that

218
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: was a great way for me.

219
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 7: I love that it's back. I've gone down you know

220
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 7: memory lane, the Randy Petil catch against Arkansas in sixty nine,

221
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 7: you know, Coach Burials against Coach Royal. I mean, it's

222
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 7: a fantastic robbery. And I think we're all just blessed

223
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 7: again in our lifetime, be renewed. And I knew Texas

224
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 7: was in Not to belabor the point or go off

225
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 7: on a tangent, but I knew Texas was in trouble

226
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 7: because we got there Friday morning and we hung around

227
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 7: campus and then Friday nights people were just off the

228
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 7: rails pep rallies. I was like, oh my god, just

229
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 7: walked into a war zone, and sure enough we got

230
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh.

231
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: It was yeah, but it'll be It'll be fun. That

232
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: was That was a fun experience for me. I bet

233
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: so well.

234
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 7: My question though, for the Cowboys and for you, I

235
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 7: know McCarthy has had experience using a fullback in the past.

236
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 7: I think John Coon from Green Bay is a prime example.

237
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 7: He's a fan favorite, but he was also I think

238
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 7: he was quite the utility and I'm just wondering. I know,

239
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 7: you know, Hunter Libke's this kid from North Dakota State unheralded,

240
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 7: but he's kind of a cult hero. I mean, is

241
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 7: he just a preseason kind of flame or do you

242
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 7: think he has a role with his team?

243
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think I don't think you keep Thanks for

244
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: the call. I appreciate it, and good luck to your

245
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: your team's uh this uh this week, we need it.

246
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: We need yeah, well maybe not against Rice, but but

247
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: you will you know, you'll definitely need to going into

248
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: the SEC. All right. Going back to the fullback question,

249
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't think they keep players on the roster for

250
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: just preseason flashes and and and things like that. I

251
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: think that there is a role that they see for him,

252
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: and and and I think it's very similar to what

253
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: you mentioned about Kohn in Green Bay, a utility guy.

254
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: He'll he'll grow into that a little bit more. What

255
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: I was told about him is really smart player. And

256
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: so when it starts there, when you got a guy

257
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: that knows knows what we're doing here, knows you know,

258
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: how how to play special teams, knows the offense, understands

259
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: different positions, smart enough to pick up other spots on

260
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 2: the field than that, he'll continue to grow. So I

261
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: think there's a role for him. I was a little

262
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: surprised that he made the team. I was actutely surprised

263
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: because he hadn't done a whole lot before that. Even

264
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: the Seattle game, he was kind of like hard to

265
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: stay on his feet. He just he just didn't seem

266
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: like he really was ready for it. Had a nice

267
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: game and in the preseason finale, and I think that

268
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: they have a vision for him. So I think it's

269
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: more than just what they've seen. It's more about what

270
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: they think he can do. I'm sticking with the calls.

271
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: If I hear a call in my ear, I'm going

272
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: to the calls, so I know the text lines are there.

273
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to it, but I'm gonna keep the

274
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: calls and the lines open. So we've got Lex in Pennsylvania.

275
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 2: What's up? Lex?

276
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 7: What's going on?

277
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 9: Nick?

278
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, appreciate.

279
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 9: It's the great.

280
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: I just wanted to know who on the defense, other

281
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 5: than your normal names, Micah Diggs, who on the defense.

282
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 6: Needs to step up a lot for our defense to

283
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 6: take the next level.

284
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 8: That's that's.

285
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: I think. I think guys that can step up a lot,

286
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: you know, and he wasn't here last year, so it's

287
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: hard to say step up. But Stefan Gilmore, the better

288
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: that he is, the better Digs is going to be.

289
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: And so the guys you just mentioned, you know you

290
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: you you're you're passing them, right, Diggs Micah. It's the

291
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: guys on the other side. If they can do what

292
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: they need to do, If Gilmour can be the corner

293
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: that they expect him to be, if Tank Lawrence, Dawrence

294
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: arms Strong, those guys can rush from the other side

295
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: and do what they need to do, that's only going

296
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: to allow the two that you mentioned to be better

297
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: and be all world like we think they're going to be.

298
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 2: And so that's the key for me. And also the

299
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: middle inside guys Osa Hankins, Mazzie Smith. You can shore

300
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: that up. They couldn't beat the Eagles in that game

301
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: in Philly last year because they couldn't stop the run. Yeah,

302
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: mikeh was doing his thing from the outside, but they

303
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: kind of controlled that and they could not stop the run.

304
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: Get that shored up. There's not a football game tonight

305
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: anywhere in the United States on Friday ninth that if

306
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: the team doesn't stop the run, they're probably not gonna win.

307
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: That's Friday Night high School. That's tomorrow's college games, and

308
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: that's every Sunday as well. You have to stop the middle,

309
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: so I would say the guys opposite of your stars

310
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: and also the middle inside. Before we take a break.

311
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: We'll go one more phone call here before we're going

312
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: to take our first break. Who we got on the line.

313
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: We got Jake in south Lake? What's up?

314
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 7: What Nick?

315
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 9: How you're doing today?

316
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: Man?

317
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Thank you. Happy Friday to you as well.

318
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 10: Hey, I just wanted to get your thoughts on a

319
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 10: few matchups next week that you're most looking forward to.

320
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: And we're talking. I love it, we're talking about we're

321
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: close enough to talk matchups. I love it. Sorry, go ahead, well, well,

322
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: whether you're excited or whether it brings you some anxiety,

323
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm personally looking forward to Lawrence Hirsus Martin.

324
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 10: That's always a good matchup. I'm also really interested to

325
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 10: see what c d and Brandon Cooks do those corners.

326
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 10: Dori Jackson, Deyonty Banks. I just want to get an idea.

327
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 10: I'm a little worried uh at linebacker. Obviously Take one

328
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 10: is going to be a hell of a matchup there,

329
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 10: but I just want to get your idea, you know,

330
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 10: one matchup that you're really looking forward to watching and

331
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 10: one that kind of makes you a little nervous.

332
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: I'll hang up and listen.

333
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,479
Speaker 2: Uh, thank you for the call. You know it's I'm

334
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: not gonna lie. I haven't got haven't turned it straight

335
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: to the Giants just yet, as far as you know,

336
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: you kind of know what they have a little bit

337
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: and always and always kind of know what type of

338
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: game it's gonna be. And and you know it's it's

339
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: a it's a cop out answer, but it's always one

340
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: of the right answers. Is right there in the center,

341
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: like you, Like you mentioned Dexter Lawrence, Uh how he's

342
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: a great player. He really his and and and he

343
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: can kind of control things in the in the middle

344
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: for them, you know, having Zach Martin obviously helps. And

345
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: Tyler Biadish and Tyler Smith. I'd like to see what

346
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: what what you know they can do on the interier

347
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: there with that push. So that's kind of where where

348
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,359
Speaker 2: to be where it'll start. You you talked about the linebackers.

349
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: You know, let's not forget Daniel Jones. It can be

350
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: elusive and and it's not just Barkley. Daniel Jones can

351
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: do some things with with his feet, and and that

352
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: has that has plagued the Cowboys the last few years.

353
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes when you're over aggressive, it creates running lanes. And

354
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: that's where I think that that you know, third and nine,

355
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: you think you're about to get off the field, and

356
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: then you let the quarterback run for fifteen yards and

357
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: they move the sticks, and so that right there, I

358
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: think is keeping containment on Daniel Jones and not just

359
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: worried about the weapons that they have, because he can

360
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: be a weapon with his legs as well. And then

361
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: obviously the middle on the inside is always going to

362
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: be a key, and I think it definitely will be

363
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: against the Giants aggressive defense. All Right, we're going to

364
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: take a break here on Cowboys storyline. Will be right back.

365
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: We're trying to get some of these text messages and

366
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,080

405
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: Eatman here. We're getting the second half of the show.

406
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: A lot of questions, a lot of calls, a lot

407
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: of texts in here. I'm gonna grab a text real quick. Here.

408
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: This is from Chris from WF I'm gonna say that's

409
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: which stult falls. I think he called the show last week.

410
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: Could be wake for us? Probably what taf falls? What

411
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: is up? Chris? His question is a little worried about linebacker,

412
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: he said. With Overshown injured for the season, the linebacker's

413
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: depth chart looks thin. Could the team look for anyone else.

414
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: You're always looking for other people. But just remember this

415
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: about linebacker and they play at four to three. You

416
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: don't just have You don't need six linebackers just because

417
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: you play it for three, because the linebackers don't stay

418
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: on the field that much. And they're gonna use jay

419
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: Ron Curse. When Donovan Wilson gets healthy, they're gonna use

420
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: him some. I think one Ye Thomas is gonna get also,

421
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: Marquise Bell forgot his name for a second. Just those

422
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: guys are They're gonna be playing a lot in there.

423
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: So you have your linebackers. I don't think it's gonna

424
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: be that much of an issue. I think that they'll

425
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: probably look for some help, as you know, from anybody

426
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 2: if you really need it if there's an injury. But

427
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: I think the way that dan Quinn wants to play,

428
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna probably go a little bit lighter there as

429
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: far as size wise. When they get to the nickel

430
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: dine packages and really try to use more speed. There's

431
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: so many running quarterbacks these days that and tied in

432
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: that that could really hurt you. I think they're more

433
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: worried about that type of stuff. Than they are going

434
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: up against guys, you know, trying to run the ball

435
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: at them and really hurting them that way. I think

436
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 2: that's why you're going to see them go for speed

437
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: more than size. All right, back to the phone line,

438
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: Bob from Rio Grand Valley.

439
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 8: Bob, what's up, hey, Nick, Congratulations on the news show

440
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 8: you it's great.

441
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, love it for Matt, Thank you having fun

442
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: with it.

443
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 8: I bet I'm hyped about this year big time. Okay,

444
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 8: I'm going to tell you why. First of all, I

445
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 8: think we got a juggernall for defense. The offensive coordinators

446
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 8: that we're going to be facing this year, This defense

447
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 8: that a D is put together, it's just going to

448
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 8: be an absolute night mare. It's going to keep these

449
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 8: guys up late, pulling their hair out trying to figure

450
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 8: out how to stop it.

451
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: Agreed.

452
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 8: The offense, I am not concerned at all about our offense.

453
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 8: It's many, many times under Kellen Moore we were so

454
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 8: predictable because we didn't have the number of weapons on

455
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 8: offense that we've got right now, this running back situation

456
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 8: that we've got, we're in the best shape that we've

457
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 8: been in the years. We've got a variety of just

458
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 8: offensive power in so many ways that we can come

459
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 8: at defenses. I hope that you agree with me and

460
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 8: I and I'm looking forward to listening to your shows

461
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 8: for the rest of the year. And I thank you

462
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 8: very much for having me on.

463
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: Thanks, Bob, I appreciate that. Thanks for the call. I

464
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: definitely agree with you on the defense. I just think

465
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: the defense is going to be is going to be

466
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 2: outstanding and has a chance to be the number one

467
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: defense in the league. They just have dynamic playmakers. You've

468
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: got a cornerback who is really really good and one

469
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: of the best cornerbacks in the league in Trayvon Diggs.

470
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: And I think you have the overall best defensive player

471
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: in Michael Parsons. So you got those two guys right there,

472
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: and then you have a compliment of other players that's

473
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: that's outstanding. I'm not there to say on running back,

474
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: this is the best running back group that we've seen

475
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: since they've you know, since, you know, in a long time.

476
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: I'm not there yet. I'm not worried about it so much,

477
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying we have not seen Tony Pollard

478
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: as the starter all the time for a whole season.

479
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he can't do it. We just it's

480
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: something he's never done. Even in high school and college.

481
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: He didn't do that Rico Daddle. We haven't seen a

482
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: lot out of him on a consistent level and induce

483
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: you know, we know what we've seen in college, we

484
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: just haven't It hasn't happened yet in the pro I'm

485
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 2: not betting against him, So I think this is a

486
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: This is a very athletic running back room. But you know,

487
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: and then he got in Hunter Lifkey. Let's not forget.

488
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 2: He might be your short yardage back too. So it's

489
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: it's got some promise, but I don't know just yet

490
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: if it's if I'm there to say this is the

491
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: best running back group, but it's different than we've seen before,

492
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: and sometimes different could be better. All Right, we got

493
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: another phone call. I forgot the name that we have

494
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: on the line here, Chris. Who we got? Joe? How

495
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: did I forget Joe? And Stanford? My man? Joe? What's up?

496
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: Hey?

497
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 9: Bro? So I have I've been doing mock drafts here

498
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 9: in the last few days and Jake Ferguson keeps falling

499
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 9: way down. Nobody's picking him. I have a feeling this

500
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 9: is just a feeling that he's going to get a

501
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 9: lot more targets than people anticipate, just because Dak really

502
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 9: likes his tight ends.

503
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 4: What do you think?

504
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think so Tell me who else is?

505
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: Who else is falling on the on the list there?

506
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: You're talking fantasy football, So who else? Who else is?

507
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: Tell me what the other cowboy players are doing? What

508
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: does the CD lamb typically go.

509
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 9: He's going in the second round of my mobs. I

510
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 9: have eight person team that I'm running, and he probably

511
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 9: would go in the first in like ten or twelve

512
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 9: team drafts. But I'm doing an eight team league this

513
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 9: year for mine, and he's he's going early second. Is

514
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 9: Pollard's going late first, early second? Those are the main guys.

515
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting, Joe, Thanks, thanks for the call.

516
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting with this group. We just talked

517
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: about how many playmakers you have, and that's what everyone's

518
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 2: excited about. If you're playing fantasy football, it's not necessarily

519
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: a great thing to have all these different options out there.

520
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: Some games, Gallup could have a big game. Some games

521
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't cooks the same way, ceed'll probably get his

522
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: catches that Pollard will get his touches. As for Jake Ferguson,

523
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: I think you're onto something there. I mean, he would

524
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 2: be a guy that I would like to have on

525
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: the team. They are going to have multiple tight ends.

526
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: But I just have a feeling as well. I've said

527
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: it all summer in training camp that I think Ferguson's

528
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 2: gonna be the guy. He's gonna have maybe fifty catches

529
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: or more, and he's got sneaky athleticism that is going

530
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: to get him down the field and make some plays.

531
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: So Ferguson, you know, I don't if you're in a

532
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: ten twelve team league, I mean, you got to have

533
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: twelve tight ends out there. I mean, I think Ferguson's

534
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 2: a guy that would be on some rosters for fantasy football.

535
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: And again, if you're into fantasy, that's fine, but really

536
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 2: it's all about production. Who's going to make plays and

537
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: everybody's excited about that. Going back to the phone lines,

538
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: we got another call here. Nope, no, no call right now?

539
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 2: I thought we had one. Oh sorry, Nick, Nick in

540

00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: crazy over here? Nick in North Carolina? What is up?

542
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:24,520

00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 14: by everyone.

546
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: It was so fun to watch favorite story. What was

547
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: your favorite? We had ten ten stories in that documentary,

548
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: what was your favorite?

549
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 14: The last one with Deuce there watching the full thing

550
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 14: with and them playing that little joke that was That

551
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 14: was awesome to see. So that's always nice when you

552
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 14: get the draft your son and I just want to

553
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 14: get to my question and then I'll hang up and

554
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 14: capstfully listen. So I think I can share it for

555
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 14: a lot of the Cowboys fans who definitely share its

556
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 14: huge distained for the Eagles, but you know they are

557
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 14: have a certain respect for him for what they've been doing.

558
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 14: So I just wanted to get your opinion on going in.

559
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 14: I know it's a long season, a lot of unknowns,

560
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 14: but how do you think they kind of stack up

561
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 14: with the Eagles? You know they were champs and division champs.

562
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 14: I just want to see what you think. But thank

563
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 14: can't wait to listen.

564
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate that. Nick, You're right, I mean, you

565
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: know you don't have to like the Eagles. I mean,

566
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: if you're a Cowboy fan, you you do not. That's

567
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: just that's just the way it goes. And there's nothing

568
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: and there's nothing wrong with that. And and they certainly

569
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: don't like the Cowboys. They make that really clear, and

570
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: it is what it is. It's a it's a healthy

571
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 2: rivalry though you know it. You know it going in

572
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: and that's what makes it fun.

573
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

574
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: College football is the same way. You know, we live

575
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: right here in Dallas and they play Oklahoma, you know,

576
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 2: Texas game every year and I'm sorry, people probably think

577
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 2: it's called Texas Oklahoma. Either way, it's fun just to

578
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: have rivalries like them, and it should be with with respect.

579
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 2: And I guarantee you that the Cowboys are worried about,

580
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 2: you know, playing the Eagles and vice versa. I mean,

581
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: look at last year, just look at it. Nobody beat

582
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: the other team, you know, with both quarterbacks playing in

583
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: the game. Yeah, the Cowboys beat Gardner Minshew and the

584
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: Eagles beat Cooper Rush, you know, and both games were

585
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: really close and competitive, and that's why they're going to be.

586
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: I think the Eagles the one thing to watch, maybe

587
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: not this year as much as next year, but we're

588
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: seeing it here. It's one thing to have a quarterback

589
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: that's really good. That's making a million dollars when he's

590
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: making fifty million a year. That cuts into the pie.

591
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: Let's see how you pay the other guys and how

592
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: the team is structured. The Eagles have done a great

593
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: job though with their roster. They draft well, so it's

594
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: going to be a challenge. I think the Cowboys stack

595
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: up with them. I think there's three really good teams

596
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: in the NFC, and I think Dallas and Philly are

597
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: two of them. Obviously San Francisco is as well. There's

598
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: other teams that they'll definitely compete, but I think that's

599
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: the top tier right now. So we're going to find

600
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: out how the Cowboys stack up with them all. Right,

601
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: back to the phone line again, Felipe in France, Felipe,

602
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: what is up?

603
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 15: How you doing?

604
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm doing great? How are you well?

605
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 15: I'm fine. We're under every weether, but that doesn't matter.

606
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 15: I would just call. I'm just calling because I love

607
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 15: this some new show. I think, uh some Richard will

608
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 15: be the future on the online. I want to. I

609
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 15: want to. I'd like you to to explain to tail

610
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 15: us what you saw and I don't have to know

611
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 15: any worries about you as blocking.

612
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

613
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 15: I just looked at his college states and he's not

614
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 15: afraid to stick his nose in there and he was successful.

615
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 15: Thanks for taking Michael, take care, keep the good job going.

616
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: Thanks bye bye, thank you, bye bye. All right, that's

617
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: UH a Wednesday award from the farthest h to call

618
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: uh Felipe from France and I think the first party

619
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: was saying about awesome Richards just excited about him. And

620
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: then also Deuce not afraid to block, and that's fine.

621
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: Not afraid to block is one thing. Being able to

622
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: do it is another. He's going to have to do

623
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: it well. And sometimes with that just getting in the way,

624
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: you know, getting in the way and not you know,

625
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: making sure that there's a clear path to your quarterback.

626
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: But on the flip side of that is you know

627
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: you can you can attack if you want to. I

628
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: always remember the Eagles were really good at this back

629
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: ten twelve, fifteen years ago with Brian Westbrook. He was

630
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: a guy that the teams thought they could blitz at him,

631
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: and then what he would sneak around and they would

632
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: throw the ball over the blitzer's head and then now

633
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: he's in the clear. So there's different ways to attack blitzers.

634
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to get in there, like you said,

635
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 2: stick your nose in there. Sometimes you can use that

636
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: to your advantage as well. All right, I'd like to

637
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: get another question here on the on the text line,

638
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: real real quick, before we go back to the phones,

639
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: Mike and Houston. How does the emergency quarterback rule work

640
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: on game day? You know the Cowboys. It has changed

641
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: over this year, and it happened because of the forty

642
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: nine Ers Eagles NFC championship game where they didn't have

643
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: enough San Franco didn't have enough quarterbacks. Now, if you

644
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: have a third quarterback on your roster, you he can

645
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: be one of your game day active players. But instead

646
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 2: of instead of just forty eight players, that he can

647
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: be a forty ninth guy in uniform. The other two

648
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: guys are going to have to be injured before he

649
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 2: comes in the game. But still that's you could have

650
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: three quarterbacks active. So there's no reason really, as long

651
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: as you keep three on your roster, there's no reason

652
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: why you shouldn't have three quarterbacks ready and healthy to go.

653
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: All right, back to the phone lines. We got Tony

654
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. What's up man?

655
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 6: Hey, Hey, good morning's good morning to you. So I'll

656
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 6: be in New York. My wife and I coming to

657
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 6: New York for the game next next weekend, so hopefully

658
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 6: we can bring back a victory. But switching gears right quick.

659
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 6: Since I'm talking to the resident Cowboys historian, we're we're

660
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 6: about the same age, and our history kind of dates together.

661
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 6: So I've always kind of had an opinion, and I

662
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 6: want to get yours. I had an opinion that when

663
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 6: Parales was hired, of course that coincided with being cut.

664
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 6: I always felt like Emmit could have been like Parcels

665
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 6: was like oj Anderson when he had him in the Giants.

666
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 6: He came and og Anderson was great and they won

667
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 6: a super Bowl and all that type of stuff. Obviously

668
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 6: this team want to win the Super Bowl. But I

669
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 6: thought Emmy could have been that. But of course Emmy

670
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 6: got cut. So besides money, of course, why do you

671
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 6: think par Sales didn't want him in?

672
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean to me, that's an easy, easy

673
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: question to answer there, and usually they're not. But in

674
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: this particular case, and we appreciate the call, Tony. You know,

675
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: when a new coach is coming in, especially a coach

676
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: that has been this. This was the fourth team that

677
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: he's been to and he took over a Giants team

678
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: in the eighties that was struggling and obviously made them

679
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: a powerhouse. New England was one of the worst teams,

680
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: and you know, changed the culture there, got them in

681
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Jets, same way, Cowboys, same way. You

682
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: have to change the culture, that's what you have to do.

683
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: And I love Emmitt Smith. I Emmitt Smith is one

684
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: of my favorite players, and I think he's the most

685
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: valuable player that they had on the Triplets. They just

686
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: didn't win without Emmitt Smith. Emmitt Smith, so I have

687
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: all in respect for him. But at that time, you know,

688
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: you got to remember two thousand and two, he had

689
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: made the comment about a diamond surrounded by trash. Maybe

690
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: that was taken out of contact, maybe it wasn't. But

691
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: you know, he was kind of in a different way

692
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: in his career, and I think they looked at this

693
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: and par Sales was like, I've got to change the

694
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 2: culture here. I've got to have different, different guys that

695
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: are ready to go and to do it my way. Now,

696
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: it wasn't every veteran. He loved what Darren Woodson was

697
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: able to do. And bought in. But you know, Emmitt

698
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: had like nine hundred and seventy five rushing yards I

699
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 2: think it was in two thousand and two, so that

700
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: team was not really very good, and he was he

701
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: was at the kind of the end of his career,

702
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: so I think all in all, it's not like he

703
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: still had a lot left. Plus it was it was

704
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: better for Bill Parcells to kind of change the dynamic

705
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: and go with different style of runners. That's kind of

706
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 2: why he did it. Right there, all right, I don't

707
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: hear another call. We were a little bit past our time,

708
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 2: so this is a good time for us to wrap

709
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 2: it up. Second second show in a row where we

710
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: went over time, but we had a ton of calls,

711
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you it was so much fun. I

712
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 2: love talking to you guys. Ten calls. Is that what

713
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: I just heard in my ear? Ten calls? And that's

714
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: that's amazing for a thirty minute ish show. This is

715
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 2: what uh we'll be doing every day. So starting next

743
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: we have the Cowboys can can share in some of that.

744
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, person for person. It seems

745
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: like we have the same talent in Dallas. We just

746
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,479
Speaker 1: got to maybe shake off the monkey on the back

747
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: and get it going. But no kidding, you play those

748
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: two teams and I don't know who wins the best

749
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: out of three.

750
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: Wow, that's I mean, that's that's that's a good statement

751
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 2: right there, you know, and I think Cowboy fans will

752
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: take that right now. So what's your question?

753
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 4: You have?

754
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: You have a question?

755
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wanted to throw in the last question.

756
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, we heard a lot about Micah and getting

757
00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: his training this summer and last spring and bulking up

758
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. What do you think is he? Is

759
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: he on pace? What's the over under on twenty sacks?

760
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: And I'll hang up and listen, brother.

761
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thank you. Twenty sacks would be would

762
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 2: be amazing for Micah to have that. I it's it

763
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: was tough to tell at training camp because you know,

764
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: this team has had some some issues on the offensive line.

765
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: You know, Tyron didn't practice every time, and even when

766
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: he does them, he has he has problems with Michah Parsons,

767
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 2: Terren Steel working back in to practice. He didn't practice

768
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: every day either. He also has problems then can you

769
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 2: can imagine, well, let's go awesome, Richards Ball, Earl Bostic,

770
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: whoever they threw out their tackle. I mean, everyone's gonna

771
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: have some problems with with him. Now, how do they

772
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: scheme him up? I mean, how does our offense is

773
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: gonna scheme against Micah? That's gonna be a big, big

774
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: question mark. But when it comes to just able to

775
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: rush off the edge, he seems like he is on

776
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 2: another level this year than he was before, ready to go.

777
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about him. And I think, you know,

778
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: I twenty sacks. This is so hard to get. That

779
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: just seems out so far out there. If you were

780
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 2: to like can he get you know, that's still won

781
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 2: a game, and that's that didn't even get you there.

782
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: So I think I've seen it happen with with where

783
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: I've never seen a guy go over twenty. So I'm

784
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: just gonna say under to that because I think that

785
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to other guys are gonna have to

786
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: help with that. He can still be disruptive. I always

787
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: say this the term that the term horseshoes and hand grenades.

788
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 2: You know, close only only counts to those two. And

789
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: I always have said, and pass rush, you should throw

790
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: pass pass rushing in there as well, because you could

791
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: be close to the quarterback. You didn't get the sack,

792
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: but you knocked them and the ball would you know,

793
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: four yards into the ground and now they're having a

794
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: punt and you did your job. If it's a pressure,

795
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: it wasn't a sack, but you can get close. And

796
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: so I think that's gonna happen. I think Mike is

797
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: gonna have an outstanding year. We got a guy on

798
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 2: the line. I don't want to just leave them hanging.

799
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: So Costas, is that right from from New Jersey?

800
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is.

801
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 16: Thanks for taking the call. I actually met I actually

802
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 16: met you once in Jersey, Oh enough to say hello

803
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 16: and stop for a second.

804
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 2: Oh cool man.

805
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 16: So I have a back in the day question because

806
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 16: we're so football stars, me and my cowboy friends from

807
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 16: up here. We're going back and discussing if there was

808
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 16: one play in cowboy history that you could change, what

809
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 16: what would it be?

810
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 15: Like?

811
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 16: I'm stuck on the second.

812
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 2: I need super Bowl, I need three plays you get

813
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 2: You're stuck on the second Super.

814
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 16: Bowl, the second stealer Super Bowl.

815
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah with Jackie Smith.

816
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Jackie Smith game.

817
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 16: But more than that, the bogus past interference, the non call.

818
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: In the end zone.

819
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 16: So I got three, what plays would you change?

820
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: I got three? And and and okay, and and you

821
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: The first one is the nineteen ninety four NFC Championship game.

822
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 2: The Cowboys were down twenty one to nothing, came back

823
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 2: and were fighting back into that game. They were down

824
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: by ten and Deon Sanders absolutely grabbed Michael Irvin's arm

825
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 2: at the five yard line. It should have been past interference.

826
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 2: It would have been first and goal in the five.

827
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: Dallas will score and it's going to be thirty eight

828
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 2: to thirty five with five minutes to go. That's what

829
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: I want to see. I want to see what happened

830
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: right then. If the Cowboys could have come back and

831
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 2: won that game, it would have been unbelievable. They would

832
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: have killed the Chargers in the Super Bowl. I just

833
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: wanted to see. I wanted to see that pass interference

834
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: call and Deon Sanders and then see what happens the

835
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: second play I wanted. I mean, I want to see

836
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: the field goal go in in Seattle, the one that

837
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 2: Romo dropped the ball. And now now this goes the

838
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: same with the third one. Obviously Dez caught the football.

839
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 2: There's no doubt he caught the ball. What happens the

840
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: ball's on the one yard line? Do they score right away?

841
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 2: Do they go for two and go up by three?

842
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 2: Because you know they were down five, they're gonna go

843
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: for two. If they score, it's still got to stop

844
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. So I haven't ever, I haven't ever really

845
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 2: gotten too upset by that one because I just they

846
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 2: probably weren't gonna stop Aaron Rodgers.

847
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 16: But well there was less in that game.

848
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 9: That's well, yeah, we come back to.

849
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: That, so let's see what But those are the things.

850
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: Those are the three I wanted to see what happened.

851
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: There was still about you know, four to five minutes

852
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: and two games and about a minute and another one.

853
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: You still had to stop them, But I wanted to

854
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 2: see those three players are the ones that just pop up.

855
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: I love the question. I love the question. I'm probably

856
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 2: missing some, but those those three, for sure I would

857
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 2: have I would have liked to see differently.

858
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 16: The only other one we discussed was the cold Super

859
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 16: Bowl with the fumble that was overturned somehow.

860
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one's a little shaky for me. I don't

861
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: I don't go that far back. I know that was

862
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: the one Halley was the MVP, and there were some

863
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: weird things that happened. Bob Lily threw his helmet one

864
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 2: hundred yards and all that stuff. I mean, every loss

865
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 2: is going to have that. I mean, I can tell

866
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: you if you're a little bit older, I can tell

867
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 2: you play that a lot of fans would say was

868
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: the one where Drew Pearson caught the ball. After the

869
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: catch Dwight Clark's catch, the Cowboys are driving, they're only

870
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: down one, and the guy Horse callers, they don't call that.

871
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that wasn't a rule, but it was so

872
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 2: close Drew Pearson's breaking away. They get five to ten

873
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: more yards in field goal range probably to win that

874
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 2: game and go to the Super Bowl and probably crush

875
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: the Bengals. So you know, that's another one too that

876
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure that old school Cowboy fans would would remember.

877
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: And you know, there's the list goes on and on.

878
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: You know, here's one more. I'll give you one more.

879
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 2: Any quarterback is gonna fumble the ball when Jeff Heath

880
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 2: comes flying off the edge and just smashed Aaron Rodgers.

881
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: If he fumbles that football, this is the sixteen season

882
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 2: and the divisional round, I mean, Jeff Heath's career is different.

883
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: They fumble the ball, they get it. Dan Bailey makes

884
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: that field goal, you know, and the Cowboys go to

885
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: the championship game. I can't believe Aaron Rodgers held out

886
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: of the football. He did. And then of course he

887
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: makes to throw on the sideline and he does the

888
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers thing. But but yeah, those great seasons always

889
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: end in kind of a weird way. And so that's

890
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: a really fun question, well sort of fun. Not not

891
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: fun to relive it all, but but good, good question

892
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 2: to think about. And as long as my producer Chris

893
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: Bean is going to say another call, and I know

894
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: he's getting angry maybe over there, but if he wants

895
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 2: to keep going, we're gonna keep going. All right. We

896
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: got another guy from Washington State? Was it Shane? Is

897
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 2: that what I heard?

898
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 9: Yes?

899
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 17: Sir, Hey, Nick, I just want to say, the interaction

900
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 17: with the fans on this show is second to none.

901
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: This is awesome.

902
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 17: I love to keep counting them out.

903
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 8: This is awesome.

904
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I agree. Actually it's fun. It's fun

905
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: for me as well. And this is this is what

906
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: I love to do. I love to talk to you guys.

907
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: When I see you guys on road trips and people

908
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 2: are training camp, people stop and say hey, what's up,

909
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: and questions like that make me go back and remember things.

910
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I absolutely love it, so.

911
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 17: Uh go ahead, Yeah to two real quick ones. One

912
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 17: was this Eagleton's idea, was it yours on this new show?

913
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 17: And how'd you feel about it? And the second one

914
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 17: was is I know Mazzie's a run stuffer, that's what

915
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 17: we got him, but don't you see him playing the

916
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 17: three downs just to collapse that pocketed for for the

917
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 17: guys on the outside to eat. I mean I threw

918
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 17: this question out a couple of times. I don't know

919
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 17: if he answered it or not. But anyway, thank you

920
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 17: so much for taking my call.

921
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. To go back to the first part,

922
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 2: I mean kind of a collaboration of what we're doing,

923
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: you know, just with these podcasts. I mean, we feel like,

924
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if master's the right word. I mean,

925
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: has anybody ever mastered the podcast? But I mean like

926
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: we've we've done it well with three people, four people.

927
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 2: You know, we've we've done a pretty good job. We

928
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: have six seven, eight podcasts you know, in this this format,

929
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 2: which is a lot of fun too to have different

930
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 2: people talking and all that. We wanted to try something

931
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: a little different and so it was just it was

932
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: just kind of an idea that's been thrown out, yeah,

933
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: I would say like a year or two ago, and

934
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: this studio is actually just perfect for it now. I'm

935
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 2: not saying we wouldn't have done it before, but I

936
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: think it's just it's just the perfect timing to do it.

937
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of people and a lot of

938
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: other shows, and so it's just something that there was

939
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 2: a brainstorming thing that's kind of been in the works,

940
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: and we said why not, why not do it now?

941
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what we've done. And to go

942
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 2: back to your Mazie question, you know they have depth though,

943
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: I mean three three line three downs for him, I mean,

944
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: he hasn't proven that he is the guy that you

945
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 2: just can't take off the field. I mean Aaron Donald

946
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: a defensive tackle JJ Watt when when he played it.

947
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 2: I mean, guys like that, you're like, Okay, he's got

948
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: to be on the field. But but the rotation of

949
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: with with him and Hankins and and Osa and Gallimore.

950
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's it's important to to kind

951
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 2: of keep that going there until Mazi or anybody gets

952
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: to the point where they're just so dominant that that

953
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: it's going to be hard to do that. But that's

954
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: for right now. You know, they they have so many

955
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 2: edge rushers that will probably slide inside, you know, like

956
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: on third and nine, who's rushing in the past, we've

957
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: got Michael one side, you're gonna have you might have

958
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: a Sam Williams or Dorance Armstrong. They're gonna put tank inside.

959
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: So that takes up some some of the downs and

960
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 2: the rushing as well. So it's a fun problem to have,

961
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: is who stays on the field who doesn't. If you've

962
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: got that much talent, that's only a great thing for

963
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn and people that want to see this defense succeed.

964
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: So all right, that is gonna that. Oh man, I

965
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 2: try to I say that's gonna be the last call,

966
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 2: but it wasn't. Isaac from Houston, what's up man, Isaac?

967
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 18: Hey, Nick, how are you doing?

968
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. You're you're the third last caller of

969
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 2: the show, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say

970
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: that there won't be a fourth. But what do you got, man,

971
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 2: I'll be quick.

972
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 18: Hey, just a question that I feel like draws from

973
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 18: like the current team.

974
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: Needs as well.

975
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 18: It's just some of the history you have from the team.

976
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 18: If you could take one Cowboys all great from our

977
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 18: history and plug them into our current team, what player

978
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 18: would you pick?

979
00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 9: And why?

980
00:46:59,840 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 13: So?

981
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: I think we got this call yes a couple of

982
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 2: days ago, man, and I just I just like kind

983
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: of frozen. I was like Darren Woodson, I mean, I

984
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 2: was my favorite player of all time, and I think

985
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: he can play in any era. And now that's probably

986
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: not the best answer though, because the safety position is

987
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 2: pretty strong. I mean with youve got Hooker, Curse, Donovan

988
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 2: Wilson and some of these young guys too. So I

989
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: don't know if that's the right question. So let me

990
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 2: let me think. Okay, the wait, you could easy. You

991
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: can easily take like a kicker, you know what, and

992
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 2: just know that you've got like you know, twenty twelve thirteen,

993
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: Dan Bailey, that's gonna make all the kicks that would

994
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: be one. Chris Beam just said in my ear, always

995
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 2: a good one. Larry Allen, I mean he's gonna he's

996
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: moved Tyler Smith to a tackle position or whatever. And

997
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 2: Larry Allen and now you got one of the strongest

998
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 2: groups of all time there. I you know, there's so

999
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 2: many good answers there. You know, I take Jason Whitten

1000
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 2: in his prime here at the tid end position, just

1001
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 2: just a guy that could that you know is going

1002
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: to be able to get you first downs and and

1003
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: just be so solid in every area. So you know,

1004
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm taking Hall of famers here. But that's kind of

1005
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 2: what the question is. What about you? What is your

1006
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: what would be your answer to that?

1007
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 18: You know, actually I think it'd be Larry Allen. I

1008
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 18: feel like I feel like it plugs in with this

1009
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 18: team though, like just offensive line. Again, we don't know

1010
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 18: like it could be great this year, but based on

1011
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 18: kind of what we feel like could happen in some history,

1012
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 18: Like if you plug in Larry Allen with Zach Martin,

1013
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 18: you've got centers, You've got like it it's just it could.

1014
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 18: I feel like it could put this offense over the top.

1015
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 18: Who knows, you know, Personalities and all that, but just

1016
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 18: just hypothetically speaking, I would love to see Larry Allen

1017
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 18: sure pluggingdo our line.

1018
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: Well, and you know that's that's great to say and

1019
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: great to have. But but you know, Tyler Smith from

1020
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 2: a strength standpoint, he's not going to be mentioned seven

1021
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 2: hundred pounds, I don't think. But but I think he's

1022
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 2: the strongest guy that they have there. And he's young,

1023
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 2: and he's smart and and so an athletic, So those

1024
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 2: those traits right there. I mean, I'm not I'm not

1025
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: calling him the next the reality even though he wears

1026
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: seventy seventy three. But I do think that that he

1027
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: honors that number, He respects the heck out of Larry

1028
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: as a player, and models his game to the point

1029
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 2: to maybe be that guy. So that that's all that's exciting.

1030
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 2: You're definitely not going to put him in that category,

1031
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: uh yet at all. I mean, Zach Martin's trying to

1032
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: get into that category, and then he's trying to get

1033
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: into Zach Martin's. But still, if you can, if you

1034
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: can get close to the la you can get if

1035
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 2: you can, if you can just be an ox Snard,

1036
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 2: you know, like that close to LA's level. That would

1037
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 2: be great enough for Tyler Smith.

1038
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 18: Fantastic.

1039
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: Thanks all right, thank you, that's gonna do it. We're

1040
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 2: gonna do it. Don't tell me another call. We're done.

1041
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 2: We went twenty minutes over, but it It was absolutely fun.

1042
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 2: This was I thought Wednesday was my favorite show. This

1043
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 2: one tops. If we can keep doing that, that's only

1044
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 2: gonna be super great for the fans, for me, for everyone.

1045
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 2: This is a really fun show and I love that

1046
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: you guys are part of it. So have a great weekend.

1047
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: Be safe this holiday weekend, watch some football. Get ready

1048
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: because this is the last one. This is the last

1049
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 2: one where your fingernails are gonna be okay. After that,

1050
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 2: the season starts. I can't wait for it, all right.

1051
