Speaker 1: Before listening, ask good doctor, if your heart is healthy
Speaker 1: enough for Dallas Cowboys football. He's hanging with the Boys,
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star
Speaker 1: in Frisco. Now your host Nate Newton, Kurt Daniels, and
Speaker 1: Shannon Bross. It is all next Monday, Boys counting down
Speaker 1: the days? Huh? One week? One week? Can't wait? Nice?
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna be solo next week? Are you
Speaker 1: gonna be able to make it? Are we even here Monday?
Speaker 1: I think you'd go next Wednesday. You know what, I
Speaker 1: don't even care when you go. I will be South
Speaker 1: of the Boys one for everyone in Halleby. You'll call it. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm done calling it after that, after that tooth thing,
Speaker 1: I am done calling in went back and listened to
Speaker 1: that disaster. It's good quality radio there. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: what's going on? How you boys doing? Man? It feels
Speaker 1: like it's been forever. I forgot where the studios at,
Speaker 1: or forgot how to do everything. I feel just so
Speaker 1: out of place. What First off, let's go around the
Speaker 1: table with no Cowboys football for the first time in
Speaker 1: six seven months. What did you guys do? What did
Speaker 1: you do this weekend, Kurt just various kid things and
Speaker 1: stuff around the house. I didn't I didn't see a
Speaker 1: whole lot of football. Actually that is the most generic
Speaker 1: it is. It wasn't anything exciting. Trust me, Nate, I
Speaker 1: hope you did something more exciting than Oh. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: see some of us, I don't want to see anything negative. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we we mean hurt our purest to the game
Speaker 1: of football. Oh my god, you know we we when
Speaker 1: Kurt didn't watch, we're salivating. We're salivating for the season
Speaker 1: to start, and we're preparing. I mean, you know, I
Speaker 1: go to great lens to make sure everything is secure
Speaker 1: going into like spreading July. Tell people this is what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm day by day, breath by breath, you know,
Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm marching towards that. Huh. And now
Speaker 1: I work with you, guys. Kurt has been honor and
Speaker 1: and I'm going down the stretch right and I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about this whole season just the only to understand that
Speaker 1: while I'm making all these arrangements just to get the
Speaker 1: training camp and to get through that and to go
Speaker 1: and all this got doing is trying to wait and
Speaker 1: see who's the next big hit in Mexico. So no, no,
Speaker 1: I watched yesterday. I watched some good almost good, barely good. Man.
Speaker 1: I just needed I just needed to step back. I'll
Speaker 1: probably watch next weekend like Buffalo and Jacksonville did, they
Speaker 1: stepped back? I just I started to go watch Tennessee
Speaker 1: and Kansas City did. I can't believe Tennessee they stepped back?
Speaker 1: How was that game? Nate? Once the big tight end
Speaker 1: Kelsey got hurt. It's like I was gonna so that again.
Speaker 1: So we're not the only team that when you lose
Speaker 1: the key player, the rest of the team for the
Speaker 1: tit to play around you. Okay. I was shocked how
Speaker 1: much they dropped off after Kelsey left. Oh man, like
Speaker 1: somebody just hit us, hit us, stand up running back.
Speaker 1: This is a tight end, you know, you know good one.
Speaker 1: I gonna tell you how Kelsey remind me just is
Speaker 1: how Zeke is. You're in a hot air balloon, right,
Speaker 1: you got this fire going to the hot and you're
Speaker 1: going up, but you reach your peak, right, and that's
Speaker 1: the cowboys for Zeke got ahead and this can't sit
Speaker 1: before whether they and you go to throwing the bags off.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying there, but then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, loom pops. You get up so high and
Speaker 1: the flames goes up. You start up and nobody knows
Speaker 1: when you hit the ground because everybody got the assess
Speaker 1: how to catch. Let me ask you something talking about that.
Speaker 1: Are there key players on certain teams that you game
Speaker 1: plan so hard around them that when they're out that
Speaker 1: the game plan just falls upon What makes that happen?
Speaker 1: I was shocked to answer your question. Evidently that is
Speaker 1: Kansas City that happened to them. I think they could
Speaker 1: adjusted better than have lost the running back. I don't
Speaker 1: know about the wide receiver, but the running back they
Speaker 1: could have probably lost him because they got a suitable backup.
Speaker 1: But what's what's amazing to me is Andy Reid has
Speaker 1: always been able to build a team. You know, with
Speaker 1: the Eagles, you know Donovan McNally, but he always had
Speaker 1: pieces around Donovan. So as long as you had Donovan,
Speaker 1: you could you could, you could survive. And uh, it
Speaker 1: just didn't happen. Man. It was just it was ugly.
Speaker 1: I mean it was ugly, but it's like there was
Speaker 1: a two different halves and it's like Tennessee. Once they
Speaker 1: hit him, and knocked him out. It's like Tennessee turning
Speaker 1: to a different animal. You know, Smith had like thirty
Speaker 1: three passes, yeah, second half yeah wow, And uh, I
Speaker 1: feel bad for Smith because I don't know if he's uh,
Speaker 1: I know he's not elite quarterback, but it's been quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that won Super Bowls that ain't no where near what
Speaker 1: this kid is. This young man is. He just ain't
Speaker 1: gonna never get that opportunity because he always setting up
Speaker 1: for the next guys. Hard top ten guys this year.
Speaker 1: But you're right, he's just never yeah, like it never.
Speaker 1: And Andy Reid normally can put a guy like him
Speaker 1: in place to do some things. I mean, as much
Speaker 1: as I love Donovan McNabb what he did for the Eagles, uh,
Speaker 1: and the Reid brought him along right and got him in.
Speaker 1: You know, it took him to a super Bowl. So
Speaker 1: as to read, they're ready for him to Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: ready for if and the Reid don't hurt him, put
Speaker 1: the backup in. They're gonna want him out of there.
Speaker 1: The fans go and see this is I remember Ken
Speaker 1: City just four or five years ago. They was clamoring
Speaker 1: just to get them. They got and to read they
Speaker 1: was doing flips. Oh yeah, It's funny how quick everything
Speaker 1: can change in the NFL. Here we are trying to
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs with consistency, and they're trying to
Speaker 1: get him because he came you know, right, what game?
Speaker 1: What game yesterday? Surprised you or did he? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what, Atlanta. Atlanta came out and
Speaker 1: played some hard nose, grind it out, make the plays
Speaker 1: when they're there. Take and then for Lage justice, Hey man,
Speaker 1: girl is one of the best backs in the league.
Speaker 1: Let's just take him and put him over to the
Speaker 1: side and let's let the young quarterback win the game.
Speaker 1: Bad idea. I think he ran the ball sixty touch
Speaker 1: a ball sixteen times? Yeah, how do you do that?
Speaker 1: How do you do that? As a coach? Uh? You? You?
Speaker 1: You know what? Great job all year coach the playoffs, though, baby,
Speaker 1: People know who you are different animal, right, Yeah, people
Speaker 1: know who you are and they know who your best
Speaker 1: player is. In another year, we may not be saying
Speaker 1: that about brother Golf though. That cat can throw, man,
Speaker 1: that cat can flat out throw you hit me. I'm see.
Speaker 1: I tell people, it's a difference to me. When you
Speaker 1: can flat out throw like Drew Brees can. You can
Speaker 1: learn to be a better throw like Cam has learned
Speaker 1: to be a better throw like I got here, gonna
Speaker 1: learn to be a better throw through proper technique. Some
Speaker 1: guys just got that Nat Bro and uh, I think
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong, but that dude can throw.
Speaker 1: We're talking about golf. Yeah he can throw, Yeah he
Speaker 1: can he can throw. Bro. It's funny going back when
Speaker 1: we played the Falcons, you were talking about we hope
Speaker 1: they don't find it. Then yeah, I got him. They
Speaker 1: were four and four before they played the Cowboys. They
Speaker 1: went six and two since then lost to the vic
Speaker 1: and at the Saints, two of the best teams in
Speaker 1: the league. And they should have first. They should have
Speaker 1: figured out a week Could they not have figured out
Speaker 1: a week later? They've been rolling everything they played us.
Speaker 1: And the funny thing that so is a lot of
Speaker 1: us was getting on us and I'm talking about me
Speaker 1: and other analysts, so called experts. We're getting on Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan and riding them. But this is the style they played. Now,
Speaker 1: it ain't arod out make the greatest plays in the world.
Speaker 1: They've taken DeVante Freeman and Coleman and they saying, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna smash you too. We're gonna hit you in
Speaker 1: the midf We're gonna slow this game down. They did
Speaker 1: learn something from what they what happened to them last year,
Speaker 1: you know, don't have your defense strung out in a
Speaker 1: bad way. Played. Until we played them and I saw
Speaker 1: them in person, I didn't realize how good their running
Speaker 1: backs are. Those cats will just they could outrun you,
Speaker 1: and if they get cornered, they'll put their head down
Speaker 1: and just roll, I mean with with some thunder, yes,
Speaker 1: like Mini Marshawn Lynch. I'm gonna tell you was an
Speaker 1: embarrassing game, though. You know, I thought Kansas City put
Speaker 1: laid the goose ad which I saw the Buffalo Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Was it or their defenses, that their offenses that bad? Man? Wow,
Speaker 1: you would like that, you would like to think, You
Speaker 1: would like to think, man, that Blake Bortles. I used
Speaker 1: to take up for this cat, but they just give
Speaker 1: him time, give give him some players, give him. Man
Speaker 1: he had and the wind was blown, I understand, but
Speaker 1: he had. I mean, guys so so wide open, and uh,
Speaker 1: it was just bad. It was just terrible. I mean,
Speaker 1: but but things was going his way because he dropped
Speaker 1: the snap, you know, picked it up. Ran for Keith first.
Speaker 1: I mean Jackson, they got a defense too, bro, Yeah
Speaker 1: they're good. Yeah, Tyrod Taylor. Man, he wasn't no better.
Speaker 1: And then they put that young kid in your young
Speaker 1: kid in there. He had a out of four plays,
Speaker 1: he had a fumble, you had the interception, and something
Speaker 1: else bad happened to him. I say, lord, he can't
Speaker 1: nothing break for this kid. You know, best game, man,
Speaker 1: the best game. The best game was and you didn't
Speaker 1: think it was gonna be a game in the first
Speaker 1: half was New Orleans and uh in Carolina. But what oh?
Speaker 1: Cam really really surprised me. But Drew Brees, they told me, well,
Speaker 1: they stopped, they stopped to run your alternatives, Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't let him run because you you they stacked
Speaker 1: the box and Drew Brees lit them up. I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta pick your poison with that team. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: breeze can kill you. And those two running backs are deadly.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. I said every year. I said
Speaker 1: it the very first year Zeke got here. I said
Speaker 1: it when DeMarco Murray was here. And I'll continue to
Speaker 1: say this. Give me a team that's built through the
Speaker 1: offensive line, in defense, total defense, and I can get
Speaker 1: you in the playoffs every year. Give me a quarterback,
Speaker 1: and I can get you to the super Bowl. Do
Speaker 1: you think any of these guys can win next week
Speaker 1: on the road, any of these teams? The Saints. So
Speaker 1: here we go, here's the here's the schedule. Falcons at
Speaker 1: the Eagles, Sat. Oh, and the Falcon's got the best
Speaker 1: pick of the day, factors, got it. I mean, if
Speaker 1: Nick Foles don't do the more what he did in
Speaker 1: the last two or three weeks, even this off week,
Speaker 1: he was sorry. So Battle of the Birds, Yeah, Saints
Speaker 1: at the Vikings. That place is gonna be rocking, Titans
Speaker 1: at the Patriots, Saints some of their own medicine with
Speaker 1: the noise, and Jaguars at Steelers. What do you think?
Speaker 1: I don't think, I mean Patriots should roll. I think
Speaker 1: the Falcons, like they've been playing so well, man, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just amazing. They win in ugly games with
Speaker 1: all that talent, they win in ugly games. And Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan just made those when he had to make those,
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked like a a professional quarterback. He
Speaker 1: making it. I just it just amazes me when I
Speaker 1: look at these teams, they they subscribe to what I
Speaker 1: think is winning football. Your defense travels. Don't ever forget
Speaker 1: that defense travels, run game travels. What do you mean
Speaker 1: by travels. Whether it's cold outside, you can play defense,
Speaker 1: whether you're in a dome, you can play defense. You know,
Speaker 1: you you know if you got to shake a quarterback.
Speaker 1: But if you got a defense, you getting turnovers, you're
Speaker 1: getting stopped. You can give him multiple opportunities, even extra
Speaker 1: opportunities if it's allowed you. Oh, you can play defense.
Speaker 1: But how far away though the Cowboys? And that's and
Speaker 1: that's that leads me to this question. We can get
Speaker 1: calls on this if you want. We're gonna take calls
Speaker 1: all the second third segments. We hadn't talked. We hadn't
Speaker 1: talked to the people. Several weeks. I was I was
Speaker 1: telling somebody, I said, look at here, I say, you
Speaker 1: were twelve and four. Listen to mccurt please write this
Speaker 1: down for you were twelve and four, and all you
Speaker 1: needed when you were twelve and four was or what
Speaker 1: we worried about was who was going to sign back
Speaker 1: on the defense and what warhorse we was gonna have
Speaker 1: war Daddy. Those was two pressing things. Now you go
Speaker 1: nine and seven and tell me what we don't need?
Speaker 1: How bad is that? How drastic is that we didn't
Speaker 1: think enough of the guy that went to Denver that
Speaker 1: he was that key. We didn't think that much of
Speaker 1: Church and all other guys they were key, and Terrell
Speaker 1: mccleane was sorely missed. But all of these things had
Speaker 1: to happen for this team to get where they needed
Speaker 1: to get. But I got type. It's amazing when you
Speaker 1: twelve and four and maybe need a few things, and
Speaker 1: now you go nine to seven, and boy, you he
Speaker 1: showed we should have lost the last game, so you
Speaker 1: can at least have the fifteenth to sixteen. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you just think now, so and and we media, we
Speaker 1: all sit down and by the end of in a
Speaker 1: couple of months, we can tell the world what the
Speaker 1: Cowboys need the most. And I tell you later right
Speaker 1: here what you need your most as guys would have
Speaker 1: winning attitude, guys that are for the team first, and
Speaker 1: a player that can come in and play and have
Speaker 1: an impact. That's what we need and what we need. Third,
Speaker 1: and most of all it is for every guy that's
Speaker 1: been drafted in the last three years to take a
Speaker 1: step next year, a positive and forceful step, and we
Speaker 1: don't do that. Yeah, you're in the same spot. Brown
Speaker 1: has to We have to see something special out of Brown,
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, something special out of him next year. All
Speaker 1: those young dbs, Yeah, our wire receivers, you know, whether
Speaker 1: the coach gotta help them or whether they do it
Speaker 1: on their own. You have to be much better. And
Speaker 1: if z if Dak excuse me, if Zeke is the
Speaker 1: guy that makes you better, we may be in trouble.
Speaker 1: If Zeke the only guy that makes you better, that's sad.
Speaker 1: That's sad. Yeah, doesn't Zeke make Dak better? Also? But
Speaker 1: I understand the overall where you're going with that, Sir Douglas.
Speaker 1: But what if you don't play a game, and what
Speaker 1: if it's a what if it's against Green Bay or
Speaker 1: was it what what if it's against another Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Rams type? What was if it's against another San Diego
Speaker 1: Charges type? Where we need this game so we so
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, we don't have to
Speaker 1: be pushed up against the wall and win a game.
Speaker 1: A guy go out, Oh, man, I'm hurt today. Okay,
Speaker 1: now you ain't no good and you ain't no good
Speaker 1: come on from you got a call us out like that, Nate.
Speaker 1: We're all friends here, were all friends. But I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I think sometimes not every team, not the Patriots,
Speaker 1: not the Steelers, not teams like that, but I think
Speaker 1: sometimes teams, especially the Cowboys team, where you had all
Speaker 1: those guys leave on defense, you got to take a
Speaker 1: step back to put those guys on the field see
Speaker 1: what you got. If you don't put them out there
Speaker 1: and see what you have, you don't know what you
Speaker 1: need to get next year. Yeah, you got him out there,
Speaker 1: didn't look bad towards the end of the year, So
Speaker 1: I'm not you know. I've had a couple of people
Speaker 1: ask me, what do you think should Garrett come back?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, give the man one more year. Give
Speaker 1: him one more year. These are his guys, these young guys.
Speaker 1: They made the decision to go to the direction they did.
Speaker 1: There were some things off the field that happened that
Speaker 1: he couldn't deal with, which that happens with everybody. But
Speaker 1: I say, give the man one more year, and if
Speaker 1: you don't make the playoffs next year, Hey, so, now
Speaker 1: what all the coaches we've lost, We've lost I know,
Speaker 1: the special team coach. Yeah, Mischa is supposed to be
Speaker 1: joining Gredden with the Raiders. About that, Yeah, I'm you
Speaker 1: know what, Wilson's gone. They're talking Kellen Moore as a
Speaker 1: possible replacement quarterbacks coach for him. That's why they kept
Speaker 1: him around. Derek Dooley, wide receivers coach, is now the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator at Missouri. Oh yeah, Baker, the secondary coach,
Speaker 1: was let go. Steve Loaney, the tight ends coach, is retired.
Speaker 1: Matt Eberfliss. I guess his the linebackers coach. His contract
Speaker 1: is up and he's looking for to move up in
Speaker 1: the world. He wants to be a defensive coordinator somewhere.
Speaker 1: So he's likely gone. So we we we didn't get
Speaker 1: rid of under the coordinators. But guess what all your
Speaker 1: assists gone. Yeah, there's a big turn over the sister Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now you bring in a different Deeven's back coach,
Speaker 1: you bring in a different wide receiver coach. What they're
Speaker 1: gonna command, what they're gonna need? What? What? That's what
Speaker 1: you were talking about. And the bride receivers have to
Speaker 1: step up next year. They're bad this year. Can a
Speaker 1: new well, new coach helped that, bringing fresh a fresh
Speaker 1: voice or Pubert he's hell? Or you uh? Did you?
Speaker 1: Are you losing something without that consistent? I just think
Speaker 1: what the wide receivers is, what what what are you
Speaker 1: going to do to make yourself better? Matter? It ain't
Speaker 1: it ain't like we did and we only have two
Speaker 1: young guys. Everybody else veterans in this league. You should know,
Speaker 1: you know, after about four years, what all our receivers
Speaker 1: when I played, was the coach. They didn't need a coach,
Speaker 1: you know, because they were they were they they held
Speaker 1: itself accountable, kind of like our offensive line do they have.
Speaker 1: They got a certain standard they want to play too,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's just amazing. It's just amazing. And
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example, and I'll go back to
Speaker 1: the New Orleans game where they committed eight guys up
Speaker 1: on the line to stop Kamara and Ingram. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that this kid is no Drew Brees, He's not,
Speaker 1: but receivers made plays that he caught the ball. Now
Speaker 1: we had a much better quarterback throwing it to him,
Speaker 1: but he receives tell me the start the starting full
Speaker 1: for for for for this, for this Saints team, tell
Speaker 1: me start, tell me the starting four receivers for the
Speaker 1: Saints team. Still looking at him, named Dad, still still
Speaker 1: still there? Now he ain't Kenny ain't playing now now
Speaker 1: Thomas Thomas has one right yeah, see but you but
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying, right see, come on now,
Speaker 1: that's it comes a point where you as a player,
Speaker 1: you can say coach, coach, coach all you want, but
Speaker 1: it comes a point as a player that you you
Speaker 1: you can execute two. So the coaches shouldn't this turnover,
Speaker 1: shouldn't any certain positions. No, if you got veteran guys,
Speaker 1: the system ain't change. You got veteran guys, get better
Speaker 1: within the system, and then if the system don't work,
Speaker 1: they're okay. And that still don't having to do it
Speaker 1: a wide receiver coach that has still more to do
Speaker 1: it off to coordinate. He don't want calling the plays. Well,
Speaker 1: he's about to build a coaching staff in his image,
Speaker 1: you know, so I got a lot of I mean,
Speaker 1: if Kellen Moore's the QB coach, there's no more of
Speaker 1: a Lenahan guy than Kellen and Laurn True let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break, fellas. When we come back, we'll take

Speaker 1: business and like work, you know, uh, one that his
Speaker 1: family doesn't know about and one that is co working. Yep,
Speaker 1: everybody's got kurts Aget like that too. So so my questions. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I'm a big Dallas Cowboy fan all the way
Speaker 1: from New Jersey. So um. Unfortunately, it was a disappointed
Speaker 1: season for us, but um, I think we have good
Speaker 1: things looking forward for us in the future. In the future,
Speaker 1: especially uh with the running like Zeke and Dak. But
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hoping that Zeke does not get in trouble
Speaker 1: with this aw season. Hopefully he learned his lesson, so
Speaker 1: maybe he can U focus on working hard and uh
Speaker 1: playing with the full seasons for us. So that's what
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to. And I think there's a I
Speaker 1: think we need to start looking at more ride receiver
Speaker 1: depth because I'm concerned about the ride receiver core. I
Speaker 1: like Bryce Butler, so I think we can I think
Speaker 1: hopefully we can resign him because he he has a
Speaker 1: lot more potential with the cas He's able to catch
Speaker 1: the ball from the from the deep, he's like a
Speaker 1: deep threat. So I think if we can get Bryce
Speaker 1: Butler back, that's a big plus. Um. But we have
Speaker 1: the nineteen pick in the draft, so I was I
Speaker 1: want to get I was wondering, do you think the
Speaker 1: guy from Georgia do you think he's gonna be there?
Speaker 1: Rock On Jones or Smith whatever is naming. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the call, Nathan First, let's that's a that's a great point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll be down at the Senior Bowl from the twenty
Speaker 1: second to the twenty fifth, and we're hoping he's Obama.
Speaker 1: He's a he's a Georgia guy. I don't see a
Speaker 1: lot of them come into the Senior Bowl, but a
Speaker 1: lot of the BAMA guys do. So, yeah, we'll be
Speaker 1: down there, man, and brought us. You know, they come
Speaker 1: on raight before us on Mondays, you know, so Draft show,
Speaker 1: make sure you call in and get him some love, man,
Speaker 1: and and he would be the guy that's gonna be
Speaker 1: on that early. He started like week level the twelve.
Speaker 1: He's already he's already got I think thirty or forty
Speaker 1: guys that he's that he's already broken down. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have him on the show from time to time too
Speaker 1: to answer all of our draft questions. So he hit them.
Speaker 1: Brought up a good point. What are you looking forward
Speaker 1: to on this team? Forward to? Yeah, I honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing Rod Smith develop a little bit more.
Speaker 1: See where that kind of goes. I like what we
Speaker 1: got to see of him, and you know, kind of
Speaker 1: somewhat limited action and then when he when he got opportunities,
Speaker 1: he took advantage of it. I'm looking forward to, you know,
Speaker 1: seeing the young guys in the secondary. Um Cheeto didn't
Speaker 1: get a lot of play in time, but when he did,
Speaker 1: he you know, he took advantage of it. And and
Speaker 1: this is kind of this is kind of out there, Cavan.
Speaker 1: Of course, I want to see if he can develop
Speaker 1: a little more, but I'm kind of starting to wonder
Speaker 1: what Jeff He's got Towards the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Everybody on this team, and we heard, you know, Chris
Speaker 1: Hall say it. You know, the guys on this team
Speaker 1: think he's a great player. You know, he saved game
Speaker 1: in Oakland. The guys really like him. Is what's he
Speaker 1: in your four four or five at least that yeah,
Speaker 1: is it, Nate? Is it too late in a career?
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a guy that yeah, got it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And he got better as the year went on. You know,
Speaker 1: It's just what I secondary missing, is that guy that's
Speaker 1: back there that can get everybody lined up as well
Speaker 1: as to do his job on top of that. Do
Speaker 1: you think Church was that guy in the secondary? I
Speaker 1: think because you know, you know Sean Leeves that guy
Speaker 1: in the middle. And I used to be kind of
Speaker 1: on Church. You know, I always felt said, yeah, he
Speaker 1: got a line to everybody else. He got in social
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it makes him. But the last year
Speaker 1: he was here, he's like, wow, you know, Church getting
Speaker 1: everybody lined up, and but he had so many good
Speaker 1: role role better guys that you know, they get twenty
Speaker 1: five players here. Jeff, he was one of those guys
Speaker 1: JJ willcost so uh. Now they got a mixture of
Speaker 1: guys back there. But who is gonna be that leader?
Speaker 1: Is it gonna is Jones gonna stop up and get
Speaker 1: everybody lined up and make sure he's doing it right.
Speaker 1: And when you say later, you mean the one that
Speaker 1: was taking all the responsibility to make sure everybody's doing
Speaker 1: their job. Yeah, as well as doing your jobs. It
Speaker 1: ain't no good if you get everybody lined up and
Speaker 1: the yeah was it he there towards the end of
Speaker 1: the year because you saw Jones and yeah, it just
Speaker 1: he can't start to be that guy. And so that's
Speaker 1: why you know you asked, h Kurt, what is he looking?
Speaker 1: Don't let other players dictate your play, you know, Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't care how sorry to guard the tackle who
Speaker 1: was was next to me. That ain't gonna dictate high
Speaker 1: play unless we got a combination block or we got
Speaker 1: a game to switch. But you even a dictate if
Speaker 1: I got to try to block Kurt, I'm going to
Speaker 1: get Kurt now if you if he can't get it,
Speaker 1: I gotta go get Kurt. So if you can't get
Speaker 1: this guy, that's your problem. See and that these guys. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's why I say mentally, are you mentally gonna take
Speaker 1: a step forward? If you mentally take a step forward
Speaker 1: and you physically gonna take a step forward, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: if you you can be in the gretty shaving the world,
Speaker 1: but you run around there like a you know, your
Speaker 1: head cut off like a chicken. It ain't doing me
Speaker 1: no good or chickens. They get such a bad rap.
Speaker 1: He mentioned Bryce Butler. Do you think in retrospect it
Speaker 1: would have been because we have no speed over the
Speaker 1: top guy would have been better to have signed him
Speaker 1: to multi year dear instead of Williams. I don't know it.
Speaker 1: Just as an ex player, I just said, up, I'm marveled,
Speaker 1: like wow, man, okay, it's like we dropped off the
Speaker 1: map and we still wind up nine and seven, but
Speaker 1: it's like he dropped off the just the face of
Speaker 1: the earth, you know, Like I said, the one area
Speaker 1: I just knew we weren't gonna be lacking in that.
Speaker 1: That was receiver. I said, Man, okay, they can help
Speaker 1: this quarterback day. Back to the phones, Eric with a seed,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Man, it's been too long. What's up? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: working man burning the midnight or guys already? You know?
Speaker 1: Strip egg rolls today? That's all. I had two trip
Speaker 1: egg rolls. That's all I wanted. Yeah, to take Chinese
Speaker 1: takeout spot. It was very delicious with some ducts off.
Speaker 1: That's all I wanted today for much. Yeah, man, happy
Speaker 1: New Year to you guys. Have to talk to you
Speaker 1: all year. So yeah, what's on your mind today. I
Speaker 1: just want to get you guys to spect you as
Speaker 1: far as the draft goals as you could. I would
Speaker 1: give you three positions, as far as if your personal parts,
Speaker 1: what you took from this season, as far as what
Speaker 1: we would need the most. I want you, guys, if
Speaker 1: you could quickly kind of rank these three positions. The
Speaker 1: first position, it will be in junior lineman. Second position
Speaker 1: will be a linebacker somewhere. It could be any any linebacker,
Speaker 1: Mike Well whatever. Uh. And then also uh, wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna hang up, be real breathing, And I
Speaker 1: talked to you guys later Cowboys for like, So, Eric,
Speaker 1: are you talking about first round one three A very
Speaker 1: at the nineteenth pick, at the very first selection that
Speaker 1: we made. What if you got you got easy? One
Speaker 1: of these guys you like on the board at those
Speaker 1: three positions, which one would you take first? How would
Speaker 1: you rank them as far as priority and and what
Speaker 1: you feel like will feel the most need and make
Speaker 1: the most RiPP or effect on the team. Shouldn't saying
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna hang up, I personally I would say,
Speaker 1: will receive it. We can if Christian Kirk will be
Speaker 1: there or Kevin Ridley would be there sitting in nineteen
Speaker 1: or you know, I would say that I would go there.
Speaker 1: That would be number one for me. Number two will
Speaker 1: probably So we're a lineback kind of chop out sean league,
Speaker 1: and then we need time some kind of like uh
Speaker 1: in cherial liner man to back up that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: the baby boost it up. Somebody can run swing. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of tackles coming out the draft. They can
Speaker 1: be a lot of guards. They could be converted as
Speaker 1: tackles and vice versa coming out the draft, you know,
Speaker 1: out of couses, ship stuff. I soon'll get you guys,
Speaker 1: take on it. That's all all right, Thanks Eric, Kurt.
Speaker 1: I'll ask you first, sure the pick rolls around. You
Speaker 1: got three guys that you like just as equal they're
Speaker 1: they're all three of them are tired on your board
Speaker 1: as far as talent, and they're all they're all there
Speaker 1: at nineteen. What do what position do you draft? I'm
Speaker 1: starting to kind of lean towards what Nate's talking about
Speaker 1: it as a defensive tackle. Was he one of the
Speaker 1: three options one of the No, you can make your
Speaker 1: own options. Those those were just Eric's options. Yeah, who's
Speaker 1: who's your three in order. I mean, I know we
Speaker 1: needed a big fiver. You're thinking a big space eater
Speaker 1: guy like against Will Forker. I know we even need
Speaker 1: a receiver that. I just we give so many resources
Speaker 1: to our offense. Last year we went pretty heavy defense.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I just I want to see
Speaker 1: this defense take the next step. I think the offense
Speaker 1: can be there. If Zike plays a full season of
Speaker 1: tyrons in there, a full season Dak has some help,
Speaker 1: I think will be okay. I think I really want
Speaker 1: to see that defense take the next TOEP. So you're
Speaker 1: going D line, TA line a linebacker, That's what I'd
Speaker 1: like to I'd like to see the best available defensive player,
Speaker 1: so D line linebacker and then probably receiver. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm going defense too, but I'm going just a badass
Speaker 1: linebacker because I think if you have a good defense,
Speaker 1: or a a good to great defense, you can win
Speaker 1: games without an offense. We've got an offense. Now. Did
Speaker 1: they sputter at times, Yeah, But I think if you
Speaker 1: have a great defense that picks them up and keeps them,
Speaker 1: you know, keeps them on the field, it's a totally
Speaker 1: different ball games. So I would I'm thinking I'm leaning
Speaker 1: a linebacker, wide receiver. I would just wait, man, I
Speaker 1: think I think you can pick up a wide receiver
Speaker 1: and free agency that you can get in here, and
Speaker 1: and you know that's gonna change obviously how you how
Speaker 1: the draft plays out. But I would go linebacker, maybe
Speaker 1: a secondary guy, and then you lineman are like cornerbacks,
Speaker 1: you can never have too many of them. But I
Speaker 1: would definitely go defensive side of the ball. Nate, what
Speaker 1: you're doing. I'm serious, brother, I said it before, I'm
Speaker 1: sticking to it. Whoever's there that can get on the
Speaker 1: field and make some impact for this team, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't care, you know. But if you ain't ranking nothing,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, even if it's a kicker, we need
Speaker 1: him here. We need to start building a team that
Speaker 1: can sustain a long term winning It don't matter. I'm
Speaker 1: serious if you I ain't evenished. If we go to
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl next week and then somebody said, hey man,
Speaker 1: that obvious lineman now he can play, I want him.
Speaker 1: If they say, hey man, that's why I received by
Speaker 1: boy he can play, I want him. If he's a
Speaker 1: divasive back safety, I won't him. But about quarterback. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I won't nothing if they decide that that Dak is
Speaker 1: not the guy I want him. What hurts me the
Speaker 1: most is we cannot do the up and down thing
Speaker 1: because the up and down thing, we went twelve and four.
Speaker 1: What did we need? We didn't have these calls last
Speaker 1: you remember offense? Yeah, now we went nine and seven.
Speaker 1: Guess what we got called? Hey, how do you rank this?
Speaker 1: And how do you rank that? Ranked me a player
Speaker 1: that can play, because I don't need another Charleston coming
Speaker 1: in here and can't play for eight nine games. You
Speaker 1: can't get on the field. I don't need that. I
Speaker 1: need guys that can get on the field. So you
Speaker 1: want a guy that you draft and immediately your plug, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: Like we did. Frank him. He got here, and they
Speaker 1: he's our center. Martin Red got here, Fred Frederick, he
Speaker 1: got here. He was our guard. Smith he got here.
Speaker 1: He was our guy. Jones. They played him all over
Speaker 1: the place. I'm like, wow, man, put this guy play.
Speaker 1: Put these guys at a position where they can perform.
Speaker 1: But even when Jones was here and they were moving
Speaker 1: him around, he was still on the field most naps.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he didn't see the field. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you put him at safety. That's what that's what he was,
Speaker 1: that's who he is, and that's what he always gonna
Speaker 1: be if he's gonna be anything. And we go get
Speaker 1: Charleston and really, nah, that man. Get a guy, bring
Speaker 1: him in here, plug him in and let him play.
Speaker 1: Let's find out can he play? I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: have an issue with a scout or coach unless it's
Speaker 1: a number one pick. That's not that's not a quarterback
Speaker 1: and he can't get on the field. Yeah, they got
Speaker 1: it their first first for sure, Second and third really too,
Speaker 1: should make be an immediate impact. Well, see second round.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where we I don't know what
Speaker 1: we do when we go to second round. So there's
Speaker 1: a project guy. Yeah, guys are supposed to be helped
Speaker 1: building your team. I don't know what that is. So
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones. Tom in Pennsylvania, what's
Speaker 1: up Tom? Hi, guys, they just wanted to add my
Speaker 1: two cents. When we pick in the draft and through
Speaker 1: free agency, we're not New England and we're not Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: We gotta get guys that can come in and play
Speaker 1: right away and contribute. We can't afford. We're not that
Speaker 1: type of team that we're so elite that we can
Speaker 1: fool around with guys like well like Taco and Jamiel
Speaker 1: Sharers and the different ones befool you know. And I
Speaker 1: have nothing against them, you know, they're trying to make
Speaker 1: a career for themselves. But at this point in time,
Speaker 1: I think we need to get players that's gonna come
Speaker 1: in and hit the field right away and contribute. And uh,
Speaker 1: that's my two cents, and I agree with you percent,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like I believe that I write
Speaker 1: Diva's even should be starting we go to train when
Speaker 1: we go to first whatever they have out here on
Speaker 1: these fields, tas right, Dieva's Avin should be one guy
Speaker 1: and behind him should be other guy out of Oklahoma, Tapper.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be everybody else. Get out the way and
Speaker 1: let's let them to go at it. And if they
Speaker 1: both healthy at the end of training camp, one of
Speaker 1: those two guys should be to start and other guys
Speaker 1: should be the Roads guy if we if we got
Speaker 1: anybody else, unless we draft the guy again in the
Speaker 1: first round of deepn svend, then he gets to start first,
Speaker 1: and the other two get to be backups and rotation guys.
Speaker 1: But don't draft the guy even though we don't. We
Speaker 1: know you don't have first round grades on these guys.
Speaker 1: We don't draft him. If you're not gonna play him,
Speaker 1: don't draft him because, if anything, we should know better
Speaker 1: about the first round pick, better than we know about
Speaker 1: the fourth round pick, our feel frown pick. We shouldn't
Speaker 1: know a little bit better unless we got an inside guy,
Speaker 1: a gal at the school. I have done something special
Speaker 1: with this kid. Other than that, we should know more
Speaker 1: about our first two picks than anything. Thanks for the call, Tom,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We are gonna take a quick break, last
Speaker 1: break of the day. Call us two seven two twenty

Speaker 1: My last time on the air before I go to Mexico.
Speaker 1: I hope it's not. You're not your last time ever.
Speaker 1: There's no telling what I happened down there. Oh, there's
Speaker 1: no telling what I did that once too, not on
Speaker 1: this trip, but another trip. Oh, it was so terrible
Speaker 1: that I'd have to tell y'all that story. I was
Speaker 1: one day day I was stuck in a little one
Speaker 1: room house with a friend of mine with the tape
Speaker 1: with one I ate something bad or there was water
Speaker 1: in the food or something. But my last night there
Speaker 1: we went. It was just one room, like beds, two
Speaker 1: different beds, one bathroom, and the door didn't even fit
Speaker 1: really on the bathroom, so there was about a three
Speaker 1: inch gap under the bathroom. Let's just say it was.
Speaker 1: It was a very noisy too. Oh my god, it
Speaker 1: was a girl. Of course I went down there to visit,
Speaker 1: just a free but still we didn't hang out much
Speaker 1: after that. All right, let's go back to the phones
Speaker 1: costas in New York. What's up, hey, guys, Listen, I
Speaker 1: just got to say how much I love the show
Speaker 1: and the analysis. Nate. I know you already said no
Speaker 1: to this, but I really think that you should consider.
Speaker 1: I think you should write a book, maybe leave out
Speaker 1: all the names of the people involved, but I would
Speaker 1: love to read it. I would too. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: basically just wanted to say, and not to be all negative,
Speaker 1: but I think we could use a little bit different
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, because I don't know how you go from
Speaker 1: up and down like that, and you have an all
Speaker 1: pro receiver and they bracket cover them, but then you
Speaker 1: can't get them open. I mean I switched guys, but
Speaker 1: I meant Beasley. And then there's Dez whose production had
Speaker 1: gone down. Like I remember at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: des carried the entire an entire defense into the end zone.
Speaker 1: So I don't think he's lost anything. I just think it's,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we could be more creative. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's my thoughts. Guys definitely gonna about that,
Speaker 1: you know, and whoever they bring in as why I
Speaker 1: receive a coach or the quarterback coach. You know, we
Speaker 1: are in the league that is not dumb. And that's
Speaker 1: what I try to explain to people is you know,
Speaker 1: last year, I said, boy, okay, now, if I'm thinking
Speaker 1: this and I'm just looking at like, okay, h Kobe
Speaker 1: Lane gonna be special next year if I'm risking that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm the Giants on Washington, Kobe Ling
Speaker 1: not against us, yeah, you know, uh not Cole Beasley.
Speaker 1: You know, no, no, no, I'm talking about Switzer one
Speaker 1: here yet. I'm talking about the offseason. When I'm breaking
Speaker 1: down the NFC's champs I'm like, okay, what oh yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: We'll see how they react when we stack this line
Speaker 1: and we feel these gaps when we don't let zeke
Speaker 1: out of there. Let's seeing this kid through medium to
Speaker 1: long routes with consistency. Let's see can he throw that back?
Speaker 1: Should of fade? Let's put this guy on top of
Speaker 1: on top of deads. Let's see what. Let's see what's happening.
Speaker 1: Can they answer the bell? Kurt, That's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: The NFL ain't dune. Kurt, looks something up real quick.
Speaker 1: I don't know where to go find this. One hundred
Speaker 1: yard games this season by any receiver on the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I think there's just one. Wouldn't it Williams one game?
Speaker 1: It wouldn't never get one. Look, let me look, nah,
Speaker 1: take me a minute. Yeah, just look it up so
Speaker 1: that it's it's very minimal, right, one or two? Yeah,
Speaker 1: something something. And it's the same the same guys you
Speaker 1: had the year before. So that tells me you still
Speaker 1: got the talent. These guys just did. They didn't all
Speaker 1: just they just all didn't saying so something else, somebody.
Speaker 1: If you're a coach, you get schemed up Okay, you're
Speaker 1: missing your back. Okay, Okay, how many times gonna say that?
Speaker 1: What if you just broke a leg? Okay, so you're
Speaker 1: missing your back. So if they if they don't, you
Speaker 1: have to do something different. You can't just run the
Speaker 1: same routes in the same situation, same because if you
Speaker 1: do this is the NFL ain't done. So you have
Speaker 1: to do something as an offensive coordinator, head coach. While
Speaker 1: I receive a coach, somebody, quarterback, coach, somebody got up
Speaker 1: say hey, if they do this, we do that. If
Speaker 1: they do this, we do that. You know, because you
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't, uh, you don't be that. You
Speaker 1: can't be that simple. And the Cowboys or not that simple.
Speaker 1: But Jason Garrett is smarter than that. Coach Shanahan is
Speaker 1: smarter than that, you know, So now it's time to
Speaker 1: put it into effect. And that that blows me away
Speaker 1: that they've only had that many, that few hundred yard
Speaker 1: receiving games in an entire season, and you had Zeke
Speaker 1: most of the season. Whether they're putting eight guys in
Speaker 1: the box and you still have one guy that can't
Speaker 1: get loose to get free for one hundred yards day, Yeah, something.
Speaker 1: What is that is? That is that on the quarterback
Speaker 1: is it's either got to be one of the quarterbacking
Speaker 1: route running from the top to the bottom. But the
Speaker 1: key is That's why I'm saying. You know, you asked
Speaker 1: curting me at the beginning of the show, what are
Speaker 1: you sold for looking to? I want to see what
Speaker 1: all these young guys, dude coming into the second year?
Speaker 1: Uh what will you get better? Or will you fall
Speaker 1: off the map? Let me ask you this. I didn't
Speaker 1: ask you guys. What did y'all think of Switzer? Got
Speaker 1: a lot of play in time that last game, made
Speaker 1: some catches, made some first downs. What do you think
Speaker 1: of him? Yea, you know, it's just you know, I
Speaker 1: would like to see him. I like seeing him in
Speaker 1: the game. He made some nice lot out out routes,
Speaker 1: you know, get out of bounds. I would like to
Speaker 1: see some four receiver sets. See it ain't y'all, You
Speaker 1: ain't always got to run different routes. But you can
Speaker 1: put pressure just through formations too, you know, give us
Speaker 1: some different looks, some different formations something like that. Oh wow, okay,
Speaker 1: now let's let's have some some double some double option
Speaker 1: routes in our slot receivers, you know something, some crossing routes,
Speaker 1: working down low, you know, seeing what these other guys
Speaker 1: can do. Man, uh, you know it ain't always got
Speaker 1: to be a new a new route, but let's running
Speaker 1: a route, you know. Go back to the phone, Shane
Speaker 1: and Oregon. What's up? Man? Hey, how you guys doing great?
Speaker 1: How are you good? Thanks? So along the lines to
Speaker 1: everybody here. I think it's probably going to be a
Speaker 1: necessity if if you don't sign Anthony Hitchins back, you
Speaker 1: better get a linebacker. I think it's very important that
Speaker 1: we get a linebacker if we don't sign Hitchings back.
Speaker 1: For sure. Obviously you need to get one regardless for depths.
Speaker 1: But I think that's a priority. And a speed receiver
Speaker 1: would be great. Like you're saying, but if we're not
Speaker 1: going to use him, I mean kind of, we got
Speaker 1: to use him. I truly believe, along with Nate said
Speaker 1: before receiver sets, if you're going to get a switcher
Speaker 1: on the field, get him on the field a beasily
Speaker 1: make him cover both those quick guys. The other thing
Speaker 1: I think might be a possibility. I'm up and down
Speaker 1: on an offensive coordinator because I like the consistency. You
Speaker 1: know that it comes from year to year. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand of it, you've got to figure out
Speaker 1: some ways to get your guys open. You got to
Speaker 1: figure out some ways to get your playmakers the ball. Um.
Speaker 1: I Todd Haley's a free agent, didn't sign a contract.
Speaker 1: I like what he does with Levion Bell. I think
Speaker 1: he could be a serious weapon if Lenahan can change
Speaker 1: his ways and maybe do the same thing with a Zeke. Anyway, guys,
Speaker 1: I'll hang up, get your thoughts on all that. I
Speaker 1: kind of just ran over and appreciate your time. Thanks, Shane.
Speaker 1: All all good points. Well let's start with Hitch. I
Speaker 1: totally agree you're in I think you're in bad trouble.
Speaker 1: If Hitch walks out the door and you you don't
Speaker 1: get it, go get a stud guy. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can afford to keep him, but if you
Speaker 1: don't get him, you gotta get somebody man, because you know,
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, just from history, isn't gonna be on the
Speaker 1: field sixteen games an entire season. Um, can you imagine
Speaker 1: this defense without Hitchens and without Lee? Yeah, we did
Speaker 1: see that, We did see what was the result, Kurt
Speaker 1: was not pretty no, Nate, Nate, you can look. It's okay,
Speaker 1: it's face palm over there. I'm just so tired. We
Speaker 1: developed Hitches. Okay, we don't sign him. We don't sign him,
Speaker 1: but you know, now you force yourself until against a
Speaker 1: wall with another young guy linebacker. This game made easy
Speaker 1: for linebackers to learn hitches can play three spots. Uh
Speaker 1: you know, I you know I don't, but I'm not
Speaker 1: the you know, like say, Mickey is the the guru
Speaker 1: when it comes to this tape. But if you don't
Speaker 1: sign Hitch, I don't think you can plug that gap
Speaker 1: with the with the somebody in the draft. I think
Speaker 1: you gotta go get somebody because I don't think the
Speaker 1: guy that fills that role one is on this team.
Speaker 1: And two, I don't think you can afford to have
Speaker 1: a young guy to develop him and see what he's
Speaker 1: got in that role. But see the key to all
Speaker 1: our callers when you call in, we ain't doing those
Speaker 1: big time agencies. So y'all forget that it's too much
Speaker 1: dead money on the cap. I do know that there's
Speaker 1: too many players you gotta still continue to pay Tyrone Crawford, Uh,
Speaker 1: Sean Lee still out there. We gotta get uh uh
Speaker 1: Martin signed. We gotta get this guy signed. We gotta
Speaker 1: get Dak guy signed. So it may need a younger
Speaker 1: version of Durant. That's the guy that they have been signed.
Speaker 1: We have a guy with a funny name in Wickery.
Speaker 1: No linebackers Lillard. Yeah, I mean sometimes you gotta go
Speaker 1: what's in here? You know? Uh? But so we and
Speaker 1: every every two or three years we go out and
Speaker 1: get another, uh, another linebacker. But in about two years,
Speaker 1: if we do this cap right, we'll be from under
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. Yeah, but then you're gonna have
Speaker 1: Dak and well that Zeke coming up. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: Zeke he got to play with his fifth year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Zeke gotta you gotta play Zeke with his fifth year.
Speaker 1: Like like Martin, Martin got all if it's me, he
Speaker 1: got to play. And I'll be like, I know you're mad,
Speaker 1: but you got to play the fifth year. You gotta
Speaker 1: give me a fifth year. You know? What about it?
Speaker 1: What about Shane's point about a wide receiver, even if
Speaker 1: you go get a stud wide receiver bringing a free agent,
Speaker 1: he can see that. That's that's my thing. That's my
Speaker 1: that's my thing is if you're not gonna use the guy,
Speaker 1: they said, Oh, only when we threw a nine route.
Speaker 1: We need a we need a route, cold blooded runner,
Speaker 1: a guy that can can run from the ex position.
Speaker 1: That's that's Dad's position. That can run all the routes.
Speaker 1: It's nine routes. I think like you can Fitch Gerald
Speaker 1: type guy. Yeah, that can run it, that can run
Speaker 1: it and get open. And more important than our problem
Speaker 1: this year was the catches. We'd have caught a few balls.
Speaker 1: Did we looking at a different team? Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: we'd have caught a few balls. We're looking at a
Speaker 1: whole different situation. That is that part? Is that on coaching?
Speaker 1: Is that that's just on player players? Man? Focus? Or Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what you need to coach on you know, you
Speaker 1: ever watched Fred Flintstone? You see the gazoo on this,
Speaker 1: So you need to coach on the show the ball?
Speaker 1: Catch the ball? Come on, man, I'm the great Gazoo.
Speaker 1: Come on, was gazoo Flintstone? Whatever? J Well, it was
Speaker 1: a little thing on barning them showal of was it
Speaker 1: the Jets? Exactly what he's talking about? Zoo? Was he
Speaker 1: was that on Flintstone? It might have been the Jetsons.
Speaker 1: Maybe the Jetsons of it. I think they were kind
Speaker 1: of the same show, but with different people. One was
Speaker 1: modern and one was for his story, right, you know
Speaker 1: the Cowboys they obviously they should get a lot of
Speaker 1: criticism for the drops and DEAs was one of the
Speaker 1: worst the league. But as a team they were like
Speaker 1: tied for sixth fewest. Really and there's different people that
Speaker 1: rate how he drops. But is that percentage of attempts though?
Speaker 1: You know that's just brother, I'm talking about losing games
Speaker 1: forgetting them numbers? Look at your what's your eye? Tell
Speaker 1: what did your I tell you? Look what did your eye?
Speaker 1: You know, I told you that it would have caught
Speaker 1: a few of these balls. They wouldn't have been interceptions,
Speaker 1: at least bat them down. Yeah, Dess tied for fifth
Speaker 1: in the league. It was the flint Stones, the Great Gazoo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: voiced by Harvey Corman. There we go, man, he sounds
Speaker 1: a lot like little Zeke whatever. I ain't got one
Speaker 1: little punk voice, you know what. I'm all right, Fellas,
Speaker 1: let's get out of here so I can get one
Speaker 1: one minute closer to Mexico. When do you leave? I
Speaker 1: leave Monday, I fly out Monday morning at six am
Speaker 1: MLK day, I will be celebrating. Why are you gonna
Speaker 1: fly on her brother day? That whole beverage just happened.
