34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,119

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,600

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,600

00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I always say James Whitalan because he

109
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: had one hundred numbers. So I'll say James Whitalon or

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: some guy named Thornton Chandler.

111
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: I remember Thornton said, no, man, you got to go

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 4: back to Fred Cornwell caught the winning touchdown pass against

113
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: the Houston Orders in nineteen eighty five. Yeah, man, I say,

114
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: I can go back. But the biggest one, man was

115
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: to score that game seventeen to ten.

116
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: There you go. You're right, you're right.

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: Light on the dirt, played on the dirt in the astrodome.

118
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: That's old.

119
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: Last one. Then I'll ask a serious question. Yeah, let's

120
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: go now, Taylin Carson number twenty one. There's a lot

121
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: of pressure on that young man. I mean, that's a

122
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: lot of pressure asking him to live up. Don't say

123
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: great to the great Doug Dennison.

124
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, don't say Lynn Scott. I

125
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: knew you were going somewhere like that.

126
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: That's no man, Dad, the great Doug Dennison, your original

127
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 4: number twenty one. Remember Triger to three Super Bowl teams.

128
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, remember when I said, this is the first show

129
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: of the season, like that first practice day, like it's

130
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: football season. Then let's go. We're naming names we shouldn't

131
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: be talking about. Let's go. Let's go your serious question.

132
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 4: You got one, Let's get serious. Okay, let's get serious.

133
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

134
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: I'm excited about the season, all right, but we all

135
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: know it's going to come down to what they do

136
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. That's that's that's just going to be

137
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: the bottom line. So my question to here is is

138
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: all of these playoff failures the last twenty eight years,

139
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: how much of it do you think is just talent

140
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: and they weren't the better team? And how much of

141
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: it do you think is mental just the mental pressure.

142
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: I think it's thanks Gary. I think it's both. I

143
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: believe it it's both, and I think it's gotten more

144
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: with the pressure as the years have have gone on.

145
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: I think those you know, early ones, they weren't good enough,

146
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, in certain cases, and then there's been some

147
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: some fluky things happening. And I know you people don't

148
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: want to say that, like, well you know that that's

149
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: just an excuse. Well you can, you can say that

150
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: if you want, But but there's just not that many

151
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: games in NFL history that have ended that way. And

152
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: when we're talking about just I mean, we're talking about

153
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: rule changes that have happened because of things that have

154
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: affected the Cowboys in the playoffs. I mean Tony Romo

155
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: dropped a snap in Seattle. They changed a rule on that.

156
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: You can't just have ball boys just take open up

157
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: the bag of a ball that's never been used before,

158
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: never been scupped up, or anything shiny as hell, throw

159
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: it out there and let you can't do that anymore.

160
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: They have people in place that handle the kicking balls nowadays.

161
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: If you catch the football and you move it to

162
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: your other hand and you take three steps and then

163
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: you die for the end zone and the ball pops out,

164
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe it hit the ground, maybe it didn't. That's a catch.

165
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: That's a catch now, and it wasn't ruled that then.

166
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is is that they've had some weird

167
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: things happen in playoff games, that getting you know, hit

168
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: by the ref running in at the end of the game.

169
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, just stuff happens. But the answer, more than

170
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: anything is that the head just haven't been good enough.

171
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to go off of that. They haven't been

172
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: good enough to be in situations to not have a

173
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: bigger lead or be winning in late in those games.

174
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: To let it come down to that. It's not an excuse,

175
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: but you can't deny that weird crap has happened for

176
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in playoff games. So it's a combination of everything.

177
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: But I'll say it, they haven't been good enough. If

178
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: they were good enough, you overcome some of that stuff.

179
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: You make those plays in the second, third, fourth quarter

180
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, and you do it. You know, Creighton catches

181
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, in that game against the Giants.

182
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: So they've had some weird, weird moments. They've also just

183
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: not been good enough. And that's that's what it comes down. Tom.

184
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to George in Delaware. I believe

185
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: this is first time caller. George. What's up, Nick?

186
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 7: How you doing?

187
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 8: It's Georgia and Delaware. I live in beach right near

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 8: right your sleepy Joe nice?

189
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: All right, good to hear from you. First time.

190
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're welcome, first time caller, All right, first time

191
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 8: all right.

192
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: We'll get that cranked up here for you, because you

193
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: know that means here we go. Who's who's the big

194
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: who was the big teams in Delaware and who they

195
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: root for there? And for the most part, is it

196
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Patriots or Giants, Jets, Cowboys?

197
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 8: Who is it the three youth throughout there or not?

198
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 8: It's the Eagles. I'm squeezed in between the Skins, the

199
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 8: Eagles in Baltimore. I've got respect for Baltimore for not

200
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 8: for the other two.

201
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go, as I type into Chris, like

202
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: we got to get it. Here we go for this guy.

203
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Here we go. All right, George, what's up? Man? What

204
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: do you got?

205
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 8: I'm surprised they got through, So I'm a little bit unprepared.

206
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 8: So I just came up with I want to give

207
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 8: you a compliment. You do a great job. I'm a

208
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 8: little bit older than you. I'm fifty eight. So I

209
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 8: go way back to the seventies, and I remember crying

210
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 8: in the seventies when they got beat by the Steelers twice.

211
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 8: But in the nineties, I went to all the games

212
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 8: that were local. I went to Pittsburgh, I went to

213
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 8: Philly and went to the Jets, Meadowlands, Skins of course,

214
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 8: but the worst thing and cowboy fans. You got to

215
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 8: be kind of courageous to go in some of those venues.

216
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 8: But the worst place I ever was at was was

217
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 8: in Pittsburgh. Believe it or not. I saw I saw

218
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 8: some crazy fans, like cold talking people from behind old

219
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 8: old senior citizens in Pittsburgh. So Pittsburgh was the toughest.

220
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 8: When I tell people that story as compared to Philly

221
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 8: or the Skims, they're kind of surprised. But I was

222
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 8: wondering where the toughest place was has been for you

223
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 8: when you travel with the team, Nick, And thank you

224
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 8: for your thank you for taking my call.

225
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you, George, And you know we've

226
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I haven't experienced a lot of that. I will say

227
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: this though, standing on the field at Veterans Stadium in

228
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: two thousand, the Cowboys were playing I think, I think yeah.

229
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham was the starting quarterback for the Cowboys that

230
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: day against Philly, and we game went to overtime, and

231
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: I remember being on the field at the end of

232
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: the game and it's weird stuff was happening there. And

233
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys lost that game. But I remember just something

234
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: just kind of hitting me in the back of the

235
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: leg and I looked down and it was a battery.

236
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: And I'd always heard of about these they throw batteries.

237
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: Now this was a triple a battery that somebody chunked

238
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: and didn't hit I mean, it just barely just kind

239
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: of hit me in the foot or whatever. But I

240
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: was thinking, like I thought that was kind of a myth,

241
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: but no, I really was the thing. And then a

242
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: few years later, going to Philly in on the bus,

243
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: just hearing like on the windows, just like six or

244
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: seven eggs just hitting the bus. That's about it. That's

245
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: as far as that I can remember things like that.

246
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing, nothing too crazy, but both in Philly, shocker.

247
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's go Champ in Nebraska, Champ. What's up? Yeah?

248
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 6: Hey there, Hey here I am.

249
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: What's up?

250
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 6: Let's got the NFL Kickoffee Mick.

251
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: We're going, We're ready to go. Yeah, it's football season.

252
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 6: Hey. So I listened to yesterday's show so much excited.

253
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 6: Everybody's pumped up, so much optimism, positive optimism, And I

254
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 6: hate to be the guy to get on here and

255
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 6: kind of bring it down a little bit. But personally,

256
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 6: I don't see those thirteen wins, twelve fourteen wins that

257
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 6: we heard about kind of thing that we're going to

258
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 6: be in that ten and seven range. But I think

259
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 6: we seek into the playoffs and I think maybe we

260
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 6: make a little noise there, battle tested, and we'll make

261
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 6: some noise this year. My question for you is every

262
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 6: day that's passing by with this that contract, not having

263
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 6: your extension? Does that worry you at all? Personally? Kind

264
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 6: of worries me a little bit every day thinking that

265
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 6: potentially the season starts he's not re signed. I know

266
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 6: they have the whole season get it done, but a

267
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 6: lot of times they say, you don't want to worry

268
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 6: about that during the season, just want to play. You

269
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 6: think if it doesn't happen by Sunday, percentages rise, he's

270
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 6: starting quarterback next year. I will hang up all right,

271
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 6: somebody else fall in and thanks listen answer.

272
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: Thanks, Champ. I'll say this, Uh, do you I think

273
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: I think the percentage goes up, you know, as the

274
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: season goes on slowly. But I'll ask you this. Do

275
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: you think that at some point Dak is going to

276
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: whether he's at you know, the team hotel, in a

277
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: game or leaving a game, or if he's out and

278
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: about somewhere, do you think he'll sign any autographs by anybody?

279
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll just like, oh, yeah, hey, Dak

280
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: signed my jersey. You think he'll do that? Okay, that's

281
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: not going to change his focus on anything. He'll sign

282
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: an autograph, He'll do this, He'll take a picture. He'll

283
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: do that. That doesn't affect his his mental makeup for

284
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: the Browns or the Saints next week or all that.

285
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: My point to that is is when the other guys

286
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: get it done, whether it be Jerry and Steven and

287
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: his agent and all that stuff, when they get that

288
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: thing done, Dak, this is where, this is where we

289
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: need to be. Sign here, please, here you go. That's

290
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: that's what he needs to do. So this whole talk

291
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: about focus and all that, DA's not in the meetings.

292
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: He's not sitting there breaking it down. Guys. I'm sorry

293
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: I missed the quarterback meeting today. I'm sorry. I'm we're

294
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: trying to negotiate it. That's not happening. That's not going

295
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: to happen. He's when it's done, he'll sign it. They

296
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: know what they need to do, they'll get it done.

297
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: If you want to worry, worry at Monday, if the

298
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys lose and the deal's not done, start to worry

299
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: if you want to. I mean, I don't say I'm

300
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: not suggesting it. I'm saying if that's when you want

301
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: to worry, worry. I personally believe a deal will get

302
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: done before the season starts. I'm going to stick to that.

303
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: That's what I think, That's what my hunch has been

304
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: for a while. And I believe the deal gets done

305
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: and if they if it doesn't, then it doesn't. And

306
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: if they win the game, you know, hey, it didn't

307
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: affect anything. But you can make that narrative if you want.

308
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: If they lose the game, and now now you know

309
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: what's the deal and all that stuff. But then again,

310
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: if I know Cowboy fans, are any any any people

311
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: that cover the NFL, If they don't win the game,

312
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: he probably didn't play his best game. And then people

313
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: are gonna say, well, he doesn't need to be the

314
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: quarterback anyway. So we know that's gonna happen. That's why,

315
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: for that reason alone, I'd get this deal done. Just

316
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: so every interception, every touchdown, every play that happens isn't

317
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: tied to a contract. A three hundred and fifty yard

318
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: game in Cleveland with three touchdowns, no picks and a win,

319
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: the price tag just went up. Oh they should have

320
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: signed them. And if it goes the other way, it's

321
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: going to be the same thing. We know that. For

322
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: that reason alone, I'd get this deal done.

323
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 7: All right.

324
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: I got a couple of text questions I want to read.

325
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: This is from Bill from Pennsylvania. What do you think

326
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys record is going to be? Also? Do you

327
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: think Dak doesn't didn't have no trade clause? Will the

328
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys be trying to trade Dak? Now? I don't believe that.

329
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they're trying to trade him, and he

330
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: can he can waive that. I mean he can figure

331
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: out they could. He could get traded if they really

332
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: wanted to make that happen. I don't think that's the

333
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: biggest thing there. What record? What's the record? I'm with

334
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: the last caller that that kind of I'm in that ten,

335
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: ten and seven, eleven and six range, and if it

336
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: doesn't go well, have a little bit more injuries, it

337
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: could be then the nine and eight. I still think

338
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: this is a really good team. I think it's going

339
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: to be close. I think these games are gonna be

340
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: a little closer than they were before. I mean, you

341
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: saw the Cowboys with a stretch where they were kind

342
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: of blowing teams out at home there, especially in the division.

343
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I just think that games will be tougher. But I

344
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: like having a kicker that you can trust that it's

345
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna make kicks that could make long kicks, that that

346
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: you could hit some pressure kicks. So games are going

347
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: to come down to that, and you know that should

348
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: help the Cowboys when you when you have special teams,

349
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think special teams is going to affect

350
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: this team. They've got a Pro Bowl kicker, you've got

351
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl punter, you've had a kick returner that's

352
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: been in the Pro Bowl. New rules, and a dynamic

353
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: player and interpret and maybe do so. I think special

354
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: teams is going to affect a lot and I think

355
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: that that'll help them win some games. I'm gonna if

356
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: you ask me a number, I'll say eleven and six.

357
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I'll say that eleven and six for this year. All right,

358
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: another question, how about first show the season? Nick, do

359
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: you have a regular season prediction? This is Mario in

360
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: South Texas. I'm gonna say eleven and six. Good question there, Mario.

361
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's go Robbie and Coco Beach. A letter

362
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: on the phone line. Robbie, what's up today? Good morning?

363
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: How are you.

364
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 8: Let's go Cowboys? Man, new year, Let's go, hey.

365
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 9: Man, I asked you yesterday and I still still fumbled

366
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 9: around with that my only real concern. I mean, obviously

367
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 9: the rookies that we got on offensive line and linebacker, cornerback,

368
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 9: but I'm still worried about a running back rotation. I mean,

369
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 9: I wonder if you're still right if we don't have

370
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 9: them on the team yet. Yeah, I was really hoping

371
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 9: we to pick somebody up at the end of uh

372
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 9: as the cuts, you know, a free agent or something.

373
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 7: And on drafted free agent, well.

374
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean they got they got better than that probably

375
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: and and and Dalvin Cook. I mean you wanted it

376
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: undrafted better than an undrafted free agent they got cut

377
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: by a stall, I mean, I mean better. You're talking

378
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: about a guy that didn't make his own team. I mean,

379
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: at this point, you're going to be looking at, you know,

380
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: just any just a player that that can you know,

381
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: that that's done it, that has some experience that can

382
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: maybe be in every down type guy.

383
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 9: Uh and and I think he has.

384
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: So, so okay, what what would be the option then

385
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: for you? What three down?

386
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 6: No?

387
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, no, I'm but I'm not not

388
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: in this. I'm saying. The point is is that there

389
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: isn't one there. There's not one sitting there for running backs.

390
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: Are just sitting there waiting for you. I mean, you know,

391
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: they're what they need to do to really fick to

392
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: find a running back. Block these guys up front, get

393
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: them blocked up front.

394
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 9: Get if our line's good, we're gonna be good running back.

395
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: Da Rico Daddell could could could be a really good

396
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: looking running back if if if it's blocked well, and

397
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: I think Zeke, I don't know if his explosiveness is there,

398
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: but he's gonna do the dirty work for you. He's

399
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: a guy, he's gonna play a lot more. He's gonna

400
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: be on you know, doing pass pro. I mean, he's

401
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: a guy that you trust as a as a blocker.

402
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: So they're gonna get this thing done. But as if

403
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: they block it up front, I think they're all gonna

404
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: have some success.

405
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 6: Alrighty, nick, I appreciate it.

406
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 7: Man.

407
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,920

410
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: centers that will be focused on this year, probably one

411
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 1: more than the other. You know, there's no there's no

412

Speaker 1: there in week two of the season when the Saints

438
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: come to town. But first things first, not to jump

439
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: ahead of anything, don't. We don't do that here. We

440
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: don't jump ahead to the playoffs or anything like that,

441
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: or even week two. We don't have to. It's it's Wednesday,

442
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: it's game week. We can talk about the Cleveland Browns

443
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: and the matchups that the Cowboys are going to face there.

444
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: It's it's funny when when you when you think of

445
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: that that team, I think the three players that people

446
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: probably think of the most or Miles Garrett number one,

447
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: and then you know, from a Cowboys standpoint, obviously you're

448
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: think about Marik Cooper being there and then and Deshaun Watson,

449
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: maybe not in that order. But when you when you

450
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: you're like you're talking about what worries you? You got

451
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: Cayln Carson there as a rookie never played before in

452
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's going to be facing uh those receivers,

453
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: including Marii Cooper, one of the best route runners in

454
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: all of football, and then of course Miles Garrett there

455
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: at the at the edge rushing position. And you know,

456
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: let's let's be honest about it. Okay, just just because

457
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: he's he moves to the other side and faces Terrence Steele,

458
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we're good now, you know Terren

459
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: Steel's I love Terrence Steel, but I mean he's gonna,

460
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have his problems too, with with anybody.

461
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean with anywhere that that Miles Garrett is.

462
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: Those guys are going to have problems. And that's something

463
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: Dak is going to have to figure out every snap.

464
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: Where is he where's the protection, where's the help coming from,

465
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: and making sure that those guys are on the same

466
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: page of who's helping guiding or Steel or wherever that

467
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: guy lines up. All right, we got a question here

468
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: from Mark and New Jersey on the text line. Because

469
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: I love the additions on the defensive line, why would

470
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: the Giants trade as Jordan Phillips for almost nothing? I

471
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: wonder if there's something they know about him? That we don't.

472
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that. I don't know for

473
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: sure or why it wasn't working out for him and

474
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: for them there and and you know these guys, let's

475
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: you have to be honest about it, and you be

476
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: honest about most free agents that are out there or

477
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: in this case traded, you know, veterans that are traded.

478
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's a reason why they let him go.

479
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's money. Sometimes it's just scheme fit it

480
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: doesn't work. There could be a lot of things. But

481
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: let's not forget the fact that teams have signed Jordan

482
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: Phillips and Linval Joseph here in the last few years,

483
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: and they've had them for one year. So got to

484
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: figure out why are teams not signing him and why

485
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: are teams continuing to sign him, you know, And and

486
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: that's that's the situation that you have to figure out

487
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: with all free agents. You know, you can you can

488
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: say the same for the guys that that that left.

489
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's a reason the Cowboys didn't resign

490
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Baddish and Doran's Armstrong and and and those guys,

491
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: and there's a reason why they got They got money.

492
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: So everybody kind of used it differently. Jordan Phillips. You know,

493
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: it's it could be a scheme situation there for the Giants.

494
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: They did sign him, but for whatever the reason, just

495
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: didn't it didn't work out, and so they I think

496
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: he's going to be a really good addition for for

497
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: this team. I what I saw from him in that

498
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: preseason game against the Raiders, H had be encouraged of

499
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: what they could they could have there in the middle

500
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: of the D line. All right, let's go to Jim

501
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: in Pasadena, California. Jim, what's up?

502
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick?

503
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: How you doing, man?

504
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 6: Man, how you good?

505
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 3: I'm fine. I'm talking defensive tackle partner. It doesn't sit

506
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: well with me that they got rid of Justin Rogers.

507
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 3: He was picked in the seventh round, outplayed his draft position,

508
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: showed up very well every preseason game, and then they

509
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: cut him. And it bothers me because if you draft

510
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: a position that you knew you weren't going to keep,

511
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: he outplayed his draft picks, why waste to pick on

512
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: that position? And it doesn't sit well with me, and

513
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make sense of it.

514
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Go back again, you're saying he outplayed his draft position.

515
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 3: I think I think he played as a fifth or

516
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: sixth round pick in the preseason. He showed up better

517
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: than Maddie Smith did last year in the preseason or

518
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: even during the season, justin Rogers. If you go back

519
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 3: and look at end zone copy and I in the

520
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 3: sky copy. He did well this preseason. That's why Cincinnati

521
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: snatched him. So if you draft that position and no

522
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: matter how well he plays, you're gonna get rid of it,

523
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 3: that's a wasted pick. Otherwise, this draft is gold. But

524
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: I just don't understand that.

525
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you don't. You don't. You don't go

526
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: into the draft expecting to waste the pick. You you

527
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: expect him to go in there and play. And and uh,

528
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: I just I just think from what you saw and

529
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: what this team saw was obviously different. I mean, I'm

530
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: not I'm not discrediting what you what you saw if

531
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: what you what you like is what you like. But

532
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: don't don't. Let's not forget that he had plenty of

533
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: opportunities because Mazzie Smith was was out. Some they they

534
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: they ended up adding. Look what they added on the defensive.

535
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: I would say this Nick Brian brought us. He said

536
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: the same thing on the break. He just can't make

537
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: hids or tails of it.

538
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 6: Uh.

539
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: Okay again again, no disrespecting you or him. That they're seeing.

540
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: They're seeing it more. They're seeing it more than what

541
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: you guys are seeing. To the point where they felt

542
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: like they had to go get Lin Valdosa. They felt

543
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: like they had had to go trade for Jordan Phillips

544
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: they wanted. They ended up getting Hoskins there from you know,

545
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. He'll probably play some. So whatever

546
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: you were seeing there, they they decided to.

547
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 8: Wouldn't you agree?

548
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 3: Cincinnati saw the same thing. That's why he picked him.

549
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: They plucked him off the free agency.

550
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: Is he is he on their is he on their rosters?

551
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: On their practice squad? Okay, he's on the practice so

552
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: he's on the practice That means the he could have

553
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: been on the Cowboys practice squad as well, and he

554
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: either chose that or or or I don't know if

555
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys even put him on the practice squad, to

556
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: be honest with you, So.

557
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: They didn't have a chance to. They didn't have a

558
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: chance to. He got plucked before you could listen.

559
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: Listen that that's Chris, Chris, Yeah.

560
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: It is all I'm saying, is he out played at

561
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: seventh round pick to who I mean, let me, let's

562
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: put like this, who is the deepen at tackle they

563
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: picked last year, the guy that then went with Washington Redskins.

564
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ridgeway two years ago, Bridgeway.

565
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: He outplayed Ridgeway and they kept Ridgeway and until they

566
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 3: didn't put him on the practice squad and Washington plucked him. Well,

567
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: all I'm saying is if the kid played well and

568
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 3: we kept me Chauncey Golson, what's he done. I know

569
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 3: they've played different positions. Chauncey's an end now, but holy cow,

570
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: that was a third round pick few years ago.

571
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 8: Justin look good.

572
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: If you just look at all twenty two, he looked

573
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: pretty dark good.

574
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: They didn't agree, they they they didn't agree. I mean

575
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: and and and and I don't know if you're an

576
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Auburn fan, I mean I don't I don't know what

577
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: the what the the love there or for Justin Rodgers,

578
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: but it and and that's another thing too. If you

579
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: if you kind of know the rules, then you know

580
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: that that'll help you with the conversations. But if you

581
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: don't know them all, if you don't know every part

582
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: of how the thing works. Then it's hard to have

583
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: an argument with with you on that because because that

584
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: isn't true. What you're saying is they didn't have a chance.

585
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: What do you mean they didn't have a chance. They

586
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: could have kept him on the team. They could have

587
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: kept him on the team. They didn't do that. And

588
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: then teams don't just pluck you off the They can't

589
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: take you from the practice squad and put you on

590
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: the practice squad. It doesn't work that way. If you're

591
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: on the practice squad and they take you, they can

592
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: have to put you on the roster and you have

593
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 1: to stay there for three weeks. So it's not like

594
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: it's a situation where you could just if the Cowboys

595
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: wanted Justin Rodgers on the team, he could have been there.

596
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: He could have been on the team. That's not the case.

597
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: That's he didn't outplay you thought so, And maybe you're

598
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: letting other people's eyes, you know, affect you. I don't

599
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: know the guys that have them in the meetings every

600
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: single day and watch every single snap of practice in

601
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: four different angles, they don't view it that way. They said,

602
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: I need to get veteran help. We need to be

603
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: better here. Obviously when it comes down to playing. They

604
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to put him in the game. No disrespect

605
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: to him. They didn't see it the same thing that

606
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: you see. So that that's fine, and the rules are

607
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: that these other teams didn't just go and snatch him up.

608
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: That's not the case. There were two players claimed off

609
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: waivers and they weren't him. They were two defensive backs.

610
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: One of them was Eric Scott. He's already been cut,

611
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: so they he wasn't claimed off waivers. He was put

612
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: on on the practice squad for the Bengals. All right,

613
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: let's go to Maurice and Tacoma, Washington.

614
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Nick, two days in a row. I'm

615
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 7: on a roll, buddy.

616
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: There you go, keep it going.

617
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 7: Hey, So a little bit more at that contract talk.

618
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 7: First off, I think we should really sign him right away.

619
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 7: I've seen him getting US twelve wins and at least

620
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 7: to the NFC Championship Game, and unfortunately, I think that

621
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 7: puts him closer to the seventy million dollar mark. But

622
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 7: I want to play a little bit of Tevil's advocates.

623
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 7: Let's say, for some reason, forbid, he goes down MISSUS

624
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 7: four or five games or just doesn't have a great season.

625
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 7: Do you think Jerry decides to maybe just go ahead

626
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 7: and let him go, or do you think that maybe

627
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 7: that brings the price tag a little bit down on Dak.

628
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 7: I'll hang up and listen to you, Bresident.

629
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's one that you know, you don't want

630
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: to have to you know, you don't want to talk

631
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: about like scenarios like that that that that do change things.

632
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why again, that's why I think it's

633
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: very important that that reason alone is why I think

634
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 1: it's important to to get get a deal done. If

635
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: you're the Cowboys, you know Dak. I think Dak knows

636
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: that the money's going to be there, that they'll get

637
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: a deal done. If it's not there here, it'll be somewhere.

638
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he feels very confident in that

639
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: and just the way quarterbacks get paid in this league,

640
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: and he understands that. Now, yes, there's some factors involved

641
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: during the season. That's why you want to get these

642
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: deals done because factors on both sides. The price tag

643
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 1: can go up or down depending on what happens and

644
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: the wins and the losses or injury and all that stuff.

645
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to get into different scenarios. Well,

646
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: it would go to this or that. I think we

647
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: all know that that if you let this thing go

648
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: into the season, you run the risk. You run the

649
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 1: risk of saying, well, you know, the tag could go

650
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: up if he plays really, really well, but that's a

651
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: good thing for you, in your in your team, your organization.

652
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: It could go down if he doesn't play well. That's

653
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: not good for the team. It may be good for

654
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: long term. It's very cloudy. It's it's a cloudy situation,

655
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: and I we're to get ahead of it like that

656
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: means you got to get ahead of how the season

657
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: goes and who's winning and why are they losing or

658
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: why are they winning. Let's don't let's don't get into that.

659
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: We we just know that if it's you run the

660
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: risk if you don't sign him early on, and both

661
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: sides are running the risk, that's part of it.

662
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 6: All right.

663
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rob in Vegas. Rob, what's up?

664
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 7: Hey?

665
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 6: Nick? Hi?

666
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: Rob?

667
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: Hey? Listen, Now, you can't blame justin Rogers agent for

668
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: doing his job. Listen, I never heard of somebody really,

669
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: you know, fighting for a guy that I don't remember

670
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 4: what he did.

671
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: Maybe Yeah, I don't know. Again, I don't, I don't.

672
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: He didn't stand out to me. I don't know the situation.

673
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: We don't think requsit that again, that that's fine. A

674
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: lot of talk about players that aren't on the football

675
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: team today. Let's let's focus on the ones that are.

676
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 4: You know, look at this team. This team did everything

677
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: we've been asking. They got bigger, they got stronger in

678
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 4: the trenches, they got bigger. That linebacker digs is back.

679
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 4: I think the key to the team, honestly is Tyler Geyton.

680
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: We've seen what happens when we have a left tackle

681
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 4: that Dak doesn't trust. It speeds up his process. Things

682
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: don't go good. Bb is going to fight and Bibe

683
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 4: is able to get a little more help from two

684
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 4: great guards where there's going to be times where Guidon's

685
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: on an island. If Guidon could play good for very good,

686
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 4: I don't see why this team can't be better than

687
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 4: last year. I think Ferguson should be better. You know

688
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 4: when you look. I know it's all on paper, but

689
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 4: people forget this is the second year now under the offense.

690
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 4: I think the light bulb went off in Dak's head

691
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: last year, and I just think now for whatever reason,

692
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 4: it's like Keanu reason the matrix, he just sees it

693
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 4: now differently. I just think this team, if they stay

694
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 4: healthy knock Wood, I see this team being you know,

695
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 4: twelve and five again, just they're going to just do

696
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 4: it maybe a little different. I think running the ball,

697
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 4: I don't need a great running back. I just need

698
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: them to be efficient. Get me third and two. It'd

699
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 4: be nice to first and goal from the five and

700
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 4: just run it in. And I think we've always said,

701
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 4: you know, the odditch, you know, good player. Know it's

702
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 4: funny when they leave the Cowboys all of a sudden,

703
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: now they look at him like he's Travis Frederick. Anybody

704
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 4: who leaves the Cowboys is always elevated. That's why you

705
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 4: hear these people on the ESPN all the Cowboys ain't

706
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 4: going to be good. They lost too many players. You

707
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: didn't think those players were good when they were on

708
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 4: the team, and now all of a sudden, So I

709
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 4: just think with all the shown back, I just think

710
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 4: they have a lot of parts. And listen, there's guys

711
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 4: that want to you know, the coaches want to prove

712
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 4: Jerry wrong. I think you're right I think that gets

713
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: done in the next couple of days. I don't know

714
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 4: what this deal is, signing him the two years that's

715
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 4: that's that doesn't sound right. Why would you do that?

716
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 4: And that will be a flap of the face that deck.

717
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 4: You know he's not going to do that. I think

718
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 4: it gets done in a couple of days. Fifty eight

719
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 4: million dollars or so. But yeah, I think everybody should

720
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 4: be excited. I think I think this team has a

721
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 4: good energy. They got a lot of young and they

722
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 4: still got some veterans. I just think they're all fighting

723
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 4: for each other. And now that you know they're fighting

724
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: for the coaches, the fighting, but that I just think

725
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 4: this team's got a good energy about it. I'm excited

726
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 4: to see what's going to happen.

727
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good stuff there. Rob. I think you

728
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: know I've said this before. That's why you were the

729
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: captain on the all storyline squad. A lot of people

730
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: look up to you. A lot of people look at

731
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: you as the voice of reason on kind of you know,

732
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: I if from the fans perspective on on things on on,

733
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you're frustrated, then they they kind of

734
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: sense that. And but we all do. We all see that,

735
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: but we love the optimism from the fans, especially this

736
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: time of year. And why wouldn't it be You're you're

737
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: talking about the players in free agency that are lost

738
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: and all that. Just remember that somebody told me this

739
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: not too long ago about free agent deals, and I

740
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: think it's this is the way the Cowboys kind of

741
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: think is. You know, I've said this before on here,

742
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: but the philosophy that they go by is average players

743
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: get good money in free agency, and good players get

744
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: great money in free agency. And great players never see

745
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: free agency. They don't get the free agency. Not not

746
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: here the Cowboys. So that's the point. If they felt

747
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: like they were losing a great player, they wouldn't lose them.

748
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: They felt like maybe they were losing a good player

749
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna get great money. They don't want to pay

750
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: a good player great money. So that's kind of when

751
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: you look at what happened in free agency. Yeah, they

752
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: lost a lot of in their mind, good players and

753
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: some of them average players that got a lot more

754
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: money than they were willing to pay. So all right,

755
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: let's take a break, our last break here on Cowboys storyline.

781
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: the next call? Actually, I have a text line question here.

782
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: This is from Joe and Stanford. He says, I see

783
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: Deuce Vaughan being used best as a first and second

784
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: down threat. He is a running back and should be

785
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: used that way. We will be surprised. Will we be

786
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: surprised on his workload early in the season. I can't

787
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: tell you if he's going to be active yet, but

788
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: I think he will be. I think that they're gonna

789
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: use him as a as a kick returner. The way

790
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: the rules are now, if you've really got to understand

791
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: the rules, that this is one of the biggest rule

792
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: changes to the game that we have seen in a

793
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: long long time. Like we're talking about not tweaks here

794
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: and there with this, this is actually I mean the

795
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: alignment you've seen it, it's different, and we haven't even

796
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: seen the new wrinkles yet. And so there there's a

797
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: big difference just on how the ball is kicked. It

798
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: can go from the twenty, it can go to the thirty,

799
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: it can go to the forty. If you don't get

800
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: it in that landing zone and get it out of

801
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: bounds or short of the landing zone, it's gonna be

802
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: at the forty. If you boom it out of the

803
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: end zone, it'll be at the thirty. And if you can,

804
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: if you can line drive it and roll it into

805
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: the end zone from the landing zone into the end

806
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,959
Speaker 1: zone and they down it there, that's the twenty yard line,

807
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: and that is ideal. Now you can have two returners

808
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: back there, or you can only have one. If you

809
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: only have one, as fast as Turpin is, you could

810
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: still probably angle it where it's bouncing around, and the

811
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: smart thing for him to do is probably just let

812
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: it go in the end zone. That's the twenty yard

813
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: line to prevent that. Two returners back there, and those

814
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: two guys I think will be Deuce and Turpin. Now

815
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: you have a decision to make. Do you want to

816
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: just kick it out of the end zone? Do you

817
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: want to kick it to one of them? See what happens.

818
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: I just think he's going to play to answer the

819
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: question as well. I think he needs to play where

820
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: he needs to play. It's not first down, it's not

821
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: second it's third downs, it's everything. If it's third and

822
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: nine and you think you've got a good play for him,

823
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: do it. He needs to run the ball up the

824
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: middle as well. He can't just be a trick guy.

825
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: He's got to be a guy that does everything, or

826
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: nobody will we'll take any of that. Seriously. If he's

827
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: on the field and it's third and three, they want

828
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: to give him the ball up the middle. He can

829
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: do it. Now, He's not going to make a living

830
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: doing it, but every once in a while you got

831
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: to make him. Honest. I think he's in every down

832
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: back when he's out there. I'm not saying he's three downs.

833
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: He just when he's out there. He needs to be

834
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: able to do what's asked of a running back, and

835
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: I think to your point, I think he can do that.

836
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 6: All right.

837
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: Sean and Bakersfield, California. Sean, what's up man?

838
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 12: What's going on?

839
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 7: Nick?

840
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 12: How you been wonderful man? I just want to say

841
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 12: congratulations on the twenty five years.

842
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: Thank you.

843
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 12: It's been a while since I called. But I just,

844
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 12: you know, hearing all this defensive line talk and everything,

845
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 12: you know, I just I wanted to make a point,

846
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 12: you know, about the line in general, on both sides

847
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 12: of the ball. I'm excited to see these rookies on

848
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 12: the offensive line push the defensive line, you know, I

849
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 12: want to see I'm excited to see how our running

850
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 12: game is, you know, finishing the ball in the one

851
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 12: yard line or you know, getting in the end zone.

852
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 12: I really think that the Cowboys improved offensively on the

853
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 12: line and defensively. You know, we finally got our tree

854
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 12: trunks in the middle of the defensive line, and I'm

855
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 12: excited to see our linebackers fly across the field. I

856
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 12: think we're gonna be a better defense than last year.

857
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 12: And I'm gonna say now, Nick, I really think Dak

858
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 12: Prescott is gonna be MVP this year. I just uh

859
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 12: the offense. Last year was the first first time with

860
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 12: Mike McCarthy, and he had a phenomenal season, and I

861
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 12: just think he's only going to get better. I think

862
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 12: people are sleeping on these these rookie receivers. I'm just

863
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 12: I'm more excited about this year. That's all I wanted

864
00:42:58,960 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 12: to say.

865
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 7: Nick Boys.

866
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Sean. I'll say this, if you

867
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: think if anyone in the organization also thinks that Dak

868
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: Prescott is gonna, you know, win the m v P

869
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: this year, you better get that contract done because I'm

870
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: telling you this, if he's the MVP of the league,

871
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: you don't have a deal man. That's forget the sixties.

872
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: You might be he might be setting all kinds of records,

873
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: uh with with new deals and all that. But uh no,

874
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I it's great to be excited about stuff.

875
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot, there's a lot to be excited about.

876
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, as Rob said, just a couple

877
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: of calls ago, you know, anything negative that happens, it's

878
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: it's easy to kind of pinpoint and say, well this

879
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: this happened. They lost this guy, and this guy got hurt,

880
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: and now Deron Bland's hurt and all this stuff. I think,

881
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: really when you just look at it, look at the

882
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: depth chart. Just go to the website and look at

883
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: the depth chart. Look at the team, Look what's on

884
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: the look look at the backup players, look at you know,

885
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: obviously your starters, and just go down the list and say,

886
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: you know this, we've got talent here. I mean, there's

887
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: talent here. There's a reason why they've won twelve games

888
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: three years in a row. There's a reason for that,

889
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of those reasons are still here. So

890
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: there's there's some good things to be excited about. I

891
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: think the defense is going to be better. I think

892
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: that they Zimmer when he's when he's been a defensive coordinator,

893
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: he's been good. He's been really good everywhere he's been.

894
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: He's got guys in here that know his system. So

895
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot to be excited about there.

896
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Derek in Seattle, Washington.

897
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 5: Derek, Hey, in morning. They're good to listen to you.

898
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 6: Hey.

899
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 5: One of the reasons I'm super excited I haven't heard

900
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 5: much talk about it is the wide receiver room finally

901
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 5: has some juice. I mean, the last couple of years

902
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 5: it's been CD, and I mean Gallup could basically run

903
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 5: two routes, the long bomb down the sideline in the fade.

904
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 5: But Tolbert Brooks and you throw in Turpin, you think,

905
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 5: I think the receiver room is getting overlooked. CD is

906
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 5: gonna be awesome. But we got three, four, five deep

907
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 5: now that the ball can be spread around and these

908
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 5: guys can make plays. Yeah, So I think the receiver

909
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 5: room is going to be really good this year.

910
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you can credit as long as

911
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: CD comes back and there's no injury. I mean he

912
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: is back, but as long as he plays well, there's

913
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: no issues with any rust or anything like that, then

914
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: you can credit that and go. Man. The work that

915
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks got at training camp as the number one

916
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: and the work that Brooks and Tolbert in Turpin and

917
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: Flinoy got really helped them. So same as was last

918
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: year with Zach Martin and the guards that got more reps.

919
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: I think the case can be made. The receiver room

920
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: looks better. I don't know if there's like track Star speedsters,

921
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: but there is guys that can get by the defense

922
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: and that's really all you're looking for.

923
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they can run a variety of patterns. And

924
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 5: I'm so tired of Gallop. He knew what he was

925
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 5: going to run. So all those guys can run. You know,

926
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 5: they're interchangeable.

927
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 6: I think.

928
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a good year, man, A

929
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: good one, all right, you too, Thank you, big year

930
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: for Tolbert, Big year for Jalen Tolbert. Third year, he

931
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: needs to be that guy. That's what Michael Gallup was

932
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: third round pick from Colorado State and he's a third

933
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: round pick from South Alabama. This is your time, this

934
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: is your year. You need to do it and be

935
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: ready to go. And I think that that Tolbert has

936
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: done a lot of work in the offseason. He got

937
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: a lot of reps with with Dak and you can

938
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: just kind of tell that that they they're on a

939
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: different level too. Same with Brandon Cooks. Brandon Cooks might

940
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: might be looking to have a really big year. And

941
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: again there's there's not a lot of there's only one

942
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: football and throw around, so you know, but in Ferguson

943
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: you expect more from him too, so not everybody. You know,

944
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: he's going to have a huge, huge numbers, but can

945
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: you make the play when it's time. In that game

946
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: against the Giants last year, what Cooks have like one

947
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: seventy That's what the Giants were giving them and that's

948
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: what they took. And you got to have guys that

949
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: can do that. There'll be games where Ferguson is the

950
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: one that's gonna keep getting the football and when that happens.

951
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: You got to be able to exploit them. Last caller here,

952
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: let's go Sebastian in Savannah.

953
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 13: Well, excellent timing. Good morning. How you doing, Sarah?

954
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: Good Bud, how are you doing?

955
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 13: Doing real good? I'm gonna be quick because I know

956
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 13: you got to get out of here. I'm looking at

957
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 13: the schedule. I love the optimism of all the fans

958
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 13: given it the twelve and five for the fourth season.

959
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 13: I personally can't go there. I'm going about ten and seven, right.

960
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 13: I like that that with our schedule, the strength of

961
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 13: schedule this year, and I don't care what the record

962
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 13: is as long as we make it to the playoffs

963
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 13: at the end of the day. Really looking forward to

964
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 13: this first game here, I feel like there's gonna be

965
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 13: a lot of gelling that needs still needs to go

966
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 13: on because we haven't seen too too much in training

967
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 13: camp and there are a lot of moving pieces right now.

968
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 13: As far as the running game, We're gonna go up

969
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 13: against some teams with some decent secondaries too, So this

970
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 13: running game is going to have to eventually come to Ruth,

971
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 13: you know, so I'm giving us ten and seven. I

972
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 13: want to wish everybody happy weekend. And happy belated laborers.

973
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 13: Say if I caught in before and said that you

974
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 13: guys have a great day in.

975
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: The month, all right, thank you appreciate it. Sebastian, Uh, yeah,

976
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean the gelling part that that's that's that's something

977
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: all teams have to figure out. Because you're right, you

978
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: don't play as much in the preseason. Some teams played more.

979
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: I felt like there were teams that had their starters

980
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: out there more than than the Cowboys just saw that

981
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: more and and that's that's fine. That's kind of where

982
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: they are in their development. They needed to be out

983
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: there that the Cowboys have a different philosophy. We'll see

984
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: where where it matches in Week one with with with

985
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: the Browns, you know, they're they're a different team at home.

986
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean last year they were eleven and seven overall.

987
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: They were eight and one at home and three and

988
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: five on the road. So eight and one at home,

989
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: and one of those wins was against the forty nine

990
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: ers when they they looked really, really good at that

991
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: time of year, and they they beat them at home.

992
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: And you know, their only loss I believe was to

993
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: the to the Ravens, who handled them pretty well. But

994
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: they're obviously really good at home.

995
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

996
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: Week one is Cowboys in Town. It's gonna be, it's

997
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, amazing. So the challenge is there,

998
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: especially when you have two rookie offensive lineman, one of

999
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: them being your center. Uh that this, you know, getting

1000
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: the calls down and hearing you know, doing all the

1001
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: silent counts. That's gonna be huge for for the Cowboys.

1002
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: All Right, those are things we can talk about tomorrow

1003
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 1: as well. Appreciate Chris Beam running the board in the back.

1004
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman. We will see you tomorrow on Cowboys Storyline.
