1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and the

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys.

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: What is up? Everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Tuesday,

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: January the thirtieth, and it's time to talk more Cowboys. Obviously,

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: we know the teams in the Super Bowl and not

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: really a huge surprise. I mean, obviously the forty nine

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: ers have been one of the best teams all year. Yeah,

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs struggled at some point in the regular season,

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: but they always had Mahomes and they always have Andy

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Reid and Kelsey and that group, and you never count

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: them out. And they look where they are and it

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: should be a fun Super Bowl. Obviously from the Cowboys perspective,

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: you look at it and you go, well, why not

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: us again? Why not? Why couldn't this team get there,

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: get over the top. And do you look at the

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: championship games and the divisional rounds and see things among

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: those teams, and you know, I do, Actually I see

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: some ability to run the football and the toughness that

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys still need to kind of get

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: to that level. Not saying they're not tough, but you've

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: got to be tougher than what we've seen, especially in

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've talked

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: about it, and I'm sure we'll talk about it some

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: more right now at the two All Star Games going on,

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: one of them here at the start of the East

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: West Rine Game for the first time is in Frisco.

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: See some players on the field. We've been able to

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: watch some of the practices. And then Mobile, Alabama is

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl going on as well, and it's kind

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: of a new year in college All Star games would

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: now allowing the juniors to play if they if they

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: want to play in these games, and that's something we

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen before. So you're seeing juniors at the Senior Bowl.

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: It's just the way it is. Jerry Jones Stephen Jones

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: are down Inmobile. I know Nick Harris was there among

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: some of the reporters talking to Jerry and Steven. Just now.

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: So go back to the website Dallas Cowboys dot com.

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: We'll have some stories and updates on that all right.

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Also Pro Bowl news, the Cowboys have three more Pro

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: bowlers added, Jake Ferguson, Tyler Smith, the Marcus Lawrence much

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: deserving for them. Cowboys now have ten Pro Bowlers in

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: the game. Obviously it's not a game, but ten selections,

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: and judging by Twitter and my tweet of it, I

47
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: can tell not a lot of fans care about that,

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: which is fine. You shouldn't really, but you know, from

49
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: a player standpoint, is a big deal for those guys.

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: And you know, to be a four time Pro bowler

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: for DeMarcus Lawrence is big and obviously first timer for

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: Tyler and Jake Ferguson. All right, we are going to

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the phone lines, aight, aight eight eight five five two

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: two nine seven. Joe in Stanford, you've been holding for

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: a while. Appreciate that, Joe. What's up?

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: Hey morning, brother, appreciate you.

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: How are you?

58
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: Good man? You know I'm further we get away from

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: the game, less angry, I feel first, you know, as

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 4: far as the Super Bowl goals, none of my team's

61
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: won it. Usually It's worked out that way for a

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: long time now. Back in the nineties, I was a

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: Bulls and a Cowboys fan, But since then, every team

64
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: I root for loses, so I'm getting used to it.

65
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 4: I guess I'm rooting for Kansas City my homes is

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 4: a Texan, so I guess I can go that way

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: with it. Two things real quick, I won't be as

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: long as I was last time. First, do you think

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: Trey Lance is going to be our backup? Do you

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: think the Cowboys actually have a plan for his future

71
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: to be with the Cowboys? And the second thing is

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: that broadest rant that everybody has talked about. Do you

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: feel like that Steven is happy with the status quo

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: because that's essentially what brought us is in Sea Wait,

75
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: and that he doesn't really care as long as we're relevant.

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't agree with them.

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think that's what he's saying. Don't you

78
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: think that's what he was saying.

79
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think that that I've had,

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: We've had callers on here that think that that the

81
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: Cowboys want to just be relevant, like just want to

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: be up there, And I don't. I don't necessarily I

83
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: don't agree with that at all, that you just want

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: to be relevant. But I think people are mistaking the

85
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: fact that they're not making big changes that's saying that

86
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: they're okay with it. I don't. I don't agree with that.

87
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: I think that you know, you have a good, good team,

88
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: you have a you've built a foundation here. What tweaks

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: do we need to do? We need to blow this

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: whole thing up? Or do you need to make a

91
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: couple of changes here and there? And I think that's

92
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: the route the Cowboy's going back. I don't think it's

93
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: like we're fine, we had a great year because we

94
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: have all these ratings on our football game, and I

95
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: don't think that's it at all. And do you real quick.

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, Yeah, do you think that

97
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: they have they have or are going to make changes

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: because it could look like the same whole thing if

99
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 4: Quinn comes back. I mean, are there any weeks or

100
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 4: change is gonna happen.

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a great question. And I've written

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: an article on that they have to do something. They

103
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: are not good enough. I mean, like we watched the

104
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Green Bay forty nine er game and you're like, both

105
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: of these teams just kick their ass, So you're not

106
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: that close. I mean they're close, but not really. You know,

107
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: they are not on the level of the forty nine ers,

108
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know if they would be for the

109
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs that didn't they didn't play them, so you're there,

110
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: you're in the tournament, you know, but you're not. You're

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: not on that top level, and so they've got to

112
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: figure out a way to get there. Joe, I mean,

113
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: that's you're right about that, and you're not gonna change

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: any coordinators and all that. You're gonna say, let's roll

115
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: this out again. Think about dan Quinn's defense from year

116
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: one to year two. It was much different. That's what

117
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I think Jerry's hoping that you're one to two from

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy and Dak could be even better than what it was.

119
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: But they better get a running game in there. That's

120
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: what I think needs to be fixed. They've got to

121
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: get they've got to be able to run the ball

122
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: when it's third and three and you're trying to run

123
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: out the clock and everyone knows you've got to run

124
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: the football because you've got to make sure they call

125
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: a time out. You know, you got to be able

126
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: to get three yards because but Checo can do it

127
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. They figure it out and they can

128
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: run it when the world knows they're running.

129
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 4: So yeah, all four of the teams in the in

130
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: the championship games had very substantial run games.

131
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: Yes, and in different ways. Sometimes it's it's running the

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: ball right up the middle. Sometimes it's Lamar Jackson running

133
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: it or whatever it is. You know, sometimes you have

134
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: receivers running it like the forty nine ers have. They

135
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: have all kinds of different runners there, but one way

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: or another, they don't have to put the ball in

137
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: the air to get yardage. And I think that's what

138
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys need to figure out how to do a

139
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: better job of. Thanks man, Thanks Joe, appreciate that. All right,

140
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: let's keep it rolling here, we've got we got to

141
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: let's go with a text question here, Dan from Philly,

142
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Dan Campbell's decisions on all

143
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: the fourth down calls against the Niners. It's one thing

144
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, but he keeps putting his team in

145
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: beast situations. Past cowboy Greg Hardy. I'm good on that one.

146
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: That's fine, Greg Cardy. They don't have a whole lot

147
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: for him, Dan Campbell, Now there's a past cowboy. Well

148
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that one. You know. That's that was unfortunate.

149
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with that. With the calls, I didn't

150
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: agree And this is not hindsight. It's not hindsight. It's

151
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: right there. It's actually foresight when you think about it.

152
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't have a huge problem with the

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: fourth down fourth quarter one as I did the third quarter.

154
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Third quarter. I thought that was a ridiculous decision because

155
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: you're up seventeen at the half and you know the

156
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are gonna come at you. They're ready,

157
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: whatever they said. They got to get this thing done.

158
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: They go down and get a field goal, You drive down,

159
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: you could get another field goal. At this point, we

160
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: can just match whatever you're doing. I can do that's

161
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: cool because I'm up seventeen. But they didn't. They went

162
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: for it, trying to go up twenty one, and they

163
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: didn't get it. Next thing, you know, it's a seven

164
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: point game because weird stuff starts to happen, and then

165
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: you start, you know, then you start nerves start factoring.

166
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was a bad decision by Dan Campbell

167
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: the first time around. And I say this all the time.

168
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: I there's a there's no difference to me between playing

169
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: to win and playing not to lose. The result is

170
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: the same. And I think that you've got to put

171
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: yourself in the best you know, situation to will win

172
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: the game, and especially you know, put the forty nine ers,

173
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: keep them on the ropes. And I thought that, you know,

174
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: and that's the way he plays. And he played it

175
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. He was just like, go for it

176
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: two points. Oh, now now you're you're back to the seven.

177
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Go for it. Oh you didn't get it again, but

178
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: you got another pill to go for it. It's like, you know,

179
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you play that way, you're gonna you're gonna

180
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: win some, you're gonna lose some. But I thought in

181
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 1: this situation, I thought he could have played it a

182
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: little bit smarter than he did. But you know, that's

183
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: that's the style that got him there. That's the style

184
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: that everyone loves, and he's going to be that way.

185
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: But I thought his impatience maybe got the best of

186
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: him a little bit. All right, Alex in South Bay, California, Alex.

187
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: Hey, what's going on?

188
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: Nick?

189
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: How you doing?

190
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: I have no talk? Hope, Paul has been well.

191
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 5: Happy New Year.

192
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: It's been a while.

193
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: I just wanted to touch on two things.

194
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: Really quick for you.

195
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: So the first is, you know, as a because when

196
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: I called the very first time, I had mentioned you know,

197
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: I grew up on the Triplets. My favorite player was

198
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: Ema Smith, which obviously that's still to this day. But

199
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: I don't have as good as a memory as you do.

200
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: I can't go back and think of like a particular

201
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: play or something like that that I remember. So my

202
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: most recent memories take me to my first question that

203
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: I have for you as a fan and as someone

204
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: who covers a team. Two games that come to mind

205
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 2: for me that were just my favorite twenty sixteen when

206
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: you're being led by two rookies in Pittsburgh in a

207
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: shootout with Big Ben and twenty fourteen when you go

208
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: visit Seattle who just came from winning a championship like

209
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: those were Those are my two most recent favorite memories

210
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: of two games that I just thought we're outstanding. Yeah,

211
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: I just wanted your opinion as far as like a

212
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: fan and who's someone who covers the team. Again, out

213
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 2: of those two games, do you have a particular favorite

214
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: for each as a fan and as a reporter. So

215
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: that was question number one, And then question number two

216
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: for you was, I don't know if you heard the

217
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: you know, the little news that kind of broke out

218
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: regarding a past employee with the Dallas Cowboys who you know,

219
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: said a little story about the Detroit Lions calling the Cowboys,

220
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're was about a potential trade

221
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: h Stephen Jones answered, and he really didn't do much

222
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: with that.

223
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: Uh, you know.

224
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: Hearing that as a fan, it's just very disheartening. If

225
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: that's how the organization, the organization is ran, I'm gonna

226
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: be run like that obviously, because he's not going anywhere.

227
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: I just want to see if you have an opinion

228
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: on that, and then I'll just hang up to listen, all.

229
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: Right, regarding that that now, I'm not in the room either,

230
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: so but but from a lot of people that that

231
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: have been in the room and and and that that

232
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: story is kind of uh, that's gotten some people's attention.

233
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: I'll just say this, you know, from someone that wasn't

234
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: in there, though, that that story is being told that

235
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Okay, that's that's the side that I'm

236
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: hearing that that nothing close to that happened. So if

237
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: you want to form an opinion on that, I think

238
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: you're you're marking up the wrong tree on on that one.

239
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: So the person that told that story wasn't in the

240
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: room either, so it's hard for me to say they

241
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: didn't have. All I know is that I don't think

242
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are you know that they obviously didn't like

243
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: hearing that because they don't feel like that that anything

244
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: close to that has happened. So uh again, that's it's

245
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: I didn't, I wasn't there. I have a hard time

246
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: believing that anything close to that happening, So I'll just

247
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: leave it at that. As for those two games twenty

248
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: sixteen twenty fourteen, both of them great, both of them

249
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: games that were kind of statement type. And it's funny

250
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: how you can in fourteen you're making a statement and

251
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: then two years later you're doing it again because of

252
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: kind of what happened in fifteen. But both of those

253
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: were statement games on the road, tough place to win,

254
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: and both of them were going back to what we

255
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: said in the first call, run the ball. We're gonna

256
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: run it. We're gonna you know, we're gonna run the

257
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: football and you can't do anything just to stop them.

258
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: And so that's that's sort of what what happened in

259
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: those games. Different runners Marco Murray won and Zeke and

260
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: the other one. But I think it was just an

261
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: ability to go in there in a tough place. If

262
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: you can run the ball, you can you know, your

263
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: offensive line can push people around. Doesn't really matter if

264
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: it's if it's on the road or grass and indoors turf,

265
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. You can do it, you know. So

266
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I think that's one of those situations where the Cowboys

267
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: those two games were just it was just as grit,

268
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: go up there and go take it. Both of them

269
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: are really fun and enjoyable to be right there for it.

270
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: So good, good stuff there. All right, let's go. Robin

271
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: Vegas is our next caller.

272
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, Hey Rob, you know that watching that Ravens game,

273
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: I thought I was looking at the Cowboys. I mean,

274
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 6: you saw a team that was undisciplined, making stupid penalties.

275
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 6: And Lamar Prescott, you know, he's the same guy, him

276
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 6: and Deck. It's amazing how well in the playoffs he's

277
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 6: two and four in decks two and five. And what

278
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 6: I mean by that is these are two really good

279
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the regular season, but when you get them

280
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, they don't even resemble each you know

281
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 6: what they do. Lamar, for some reason, thought he was

282
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 6: going to go toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes throwing

283
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 6: the ball and I don't understand why his attribute is

284
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 6: running and moving and and he he just wasn't doing

285
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 6: that enough. And the turnovers, I mean we see that

286
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 6: with Dak. It's the turnovers that always kill each of

287
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 6: those quarterbacks in the playoffs. And uh, but Lamar will

288
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 6: never get you know, take the heat like Dak will

289
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 6: now talking about Dallas. Thought I gonna do anything big. No,

290
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 6: you know how Jerry's going to spin this. Jerry's going

291
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 6: to turn around and say, well, we got Digs coming back,

292
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 6: we got over shown going to come back. Mazie should

293
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 6: be better, Mike McCarthy, the offense should be better in

294
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 6: the second year. That's how he's going to spin it.

295
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 6: He's not going to go after a Chris Jones from

296
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 6: Tansas City or Patrick Queen from the Graves. He's not

297
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 6: going to do those moves he should if he really

298
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: thinks he's close. Yeah, and he's staying he's going to

299
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 6: sign that to fifty something million. And if Dan Quinn

300
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 6: comes back, you need to make some moves. Not for

301
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 6: the not so much for the fans, because unfortunately, guys

302
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 6: like us who and women like us that are on

303
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 6: the show, we're gonna watch regardless if we're four and

304
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 6: twelve of thirty, you know we're going to be there.

305
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 6: But if you truly believe that you're in the same

306
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 6: class as the forty nine Ers, the Eagles, whoever, and

307
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 6: you're only a player at two a way, and we

308
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 6: see what plays their way. They need defensive line and

309
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 6: they need linebackers on the defense and on the offense.

310
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 6: You do need a running back, but you need a bigger,

311
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 6: stronger offensive line, maybe center. If you truly believe that's

312
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 6: all you're missing, well, there's a lot of good guys.

313
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 6: You got the guy in Washington. I would love for

314
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 6: him to make a move for Allen. You're going to

315
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 6: have to spend some money. I don't see them moving

316
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 6: Michael Parsons to middle linebacker, which that would be the

317
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 6: best move to do, but I don't see it. We

318
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 6: already discussed that, but unfortunately I just see I think

319
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 6: that's how Jerry's gonna spit it. I don't know about

320
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 6: the Stephen Jones thing. I hope he doesn't become like

321
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 6: the Steinbrenner family. When mister Steinbrenner passed away, the Yankees

322
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 6: fell apart because the kids never had to put in

323
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 6: the blood sweat and tears, like mister Steinbrenner did, and

324
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 6: like mister Jones, did you know?

325
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you bought the team.

326
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 6: And let's face it, it's good to be a Jones.

327
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 6: I mean, the grandsons, the sons, the daughters. Here you go.

328
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 6: You're a multi billionaire from the womb. I mean, that's

329
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 6: an awesome thing. They're not as hungry as the father.

330
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 6: And to go two ways, but.

331
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: Do you know that? Hold on? But do you know that?

332
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, do you really know who's hungry and who isn't?

333
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's.

334
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 6: That's predominantly predominantly Yes, Yes, it's just a natural thing.

335
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 6: You see it With Jerry, Jerry made two coaching moves

336
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 6: that were unconventioned. Jimmy, because I just did invested a

337
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 6: hundred and forty million. I needed a return. As soon

338
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 6: as he got the return, Jimmy was gone. Because I

339
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 6: didn't want to put up with the craft Bill Parcells.

340
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 6: I needed a new stadium and Dave Campbell was not

341
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 6: getting that. After that, it was more about being comfortable.

342
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 6: We talked about it. He hired coaches that had no business.

343
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 6: Jerry wanted it, but these there's no way that his

344
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 6: kids could be as hungry as Jerry. The team is

345
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 6: worth eleven billion, the richest sports team in the world,

346
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 6: and hasn't won anything in thirty years. So how bad

347
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 6: is life? How bad is things? That's why Jerry, and

348
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 6: unfortunately the kids always say, Dad, things aren't so bad.

349
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 6: Let's not blow it up, let's not make the move.

350
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 6: I would love to be in a fly in the

351
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 6: room and say, here, Jerry say I think we should

352
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 6: do this. No that I don't think that's a good movie.

353
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 6: You know, we are twelve of five because they they're

354
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 6: not invested like Jerry.

355
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 7: I'm not saying they don't want to.

356
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 6: Win, but it's just natural. It's just natural that these

357
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 6: they never had to go through the hard times. So

358
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 6: I just I just think that's part of the problem

359
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 6: with this, with the with the whole system of the

360
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys is it's like you're a parent. You know,

361
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 6: your wife says to the kid, you're going to bed, Uh,

362
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 6: you're not play video games, and then it comes to

363
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: you and you say, come on, you can go play.

364
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 6: So that that that that's how the Cowboys are.

365
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: All right and all right. I mean that's hard to

366
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: say because I I don't I mean, you can go

367
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: off perceptions on what you think, but I think this.

368
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't sit here and say that they're

369
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: not hungry to win.

370
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 6: I think Jerry's I'm not saying they're not hungry, but

371
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 6: they're not as hungry as somebody else. They're not as

372
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 6: hungry as as as Jerry was when he bought the team.

373
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that aren't as fill in

374
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: the blank as Jerry in a lot of.

375
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 6: But but but let's face it, Jerry should have fired

376
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 6: himself from GM twenty years ago. And he probably would

377
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 6: have if if we were talking about the pizza places

378
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 6: he owned or something else. But let's face it, he

379
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 6: wants this is his fun, this is his excitement, this

380
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 6: is his radio show, this is his I get on

381
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 6: the microphone. Jerry would rather be a GM that doesn't

382
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 6: win a Super Bowl than an owner who just sits

383
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 6: up in the box and wins. If they said to Jerry,

384
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 6: you got to sit in that box. You can't do

385
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 6: no more TV.

386
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: I get it.

387
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: At win a Super Bowl.

388
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: R say no, that's fine, and we got to move

389
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: to another callers. But I will say this, though there's

390
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: not a GM in the world going to get fired

391
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: off this the off this last season, right, You're not

392
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: going to do that. You're not going to fire the GM.

393
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: So all this, I think a lot of times people

394
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: like to blame Jerry just because he's the common denominator

395
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: for twenty eight years and all that stuff, But then

396
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: say that, you know this team had all this talent. Well,

397
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's the GM. He's put there's a

398
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of I mean, a lot of records were broken.

399
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: A lot of Pro Bowlers know that didn't lead to

400
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: success in the playoffs, and I get that, but I

401
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: don't think it was a GM problem right now. So

402
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: there's a lot of issues, a lot of stuff going on,

403
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: but it's it's I think that sometimes there's a moving

404
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: target on what people are complaining about. Uh, this is

405
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: a good football team, but they've got to figure out

406
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: how to make it great because when they play against

407
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: other really good teams, it didn't stack up as well.

408
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: We all know that, we all see that. But I

409
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: don't think this is this is a matter of being

410
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: hungry or not hungry enough and whatever you like being relevant.

411
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe in that. I don't they

412
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: built a really good team, but they still got always

413
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: to go to be playing football in February and we

414
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: haven't seen that. All right, let's go to Kadga in Russia.

415
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: Is that right?

416
00:20:59,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

417
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 7: Hurrying from Russia.

418
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 8: I'm doing fine, and I'm so happy that you're taking

419
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 8: my call. Thank you. It's my first time when I'm calling.

420
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 8: And yeah, I wanted to express some emotions about how

421
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 8: it is to be a fan from Russia. It's not

422
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 8: easy and it's not that easy because mostly games are

423
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 8: playing at night when it's night here and after midnight,

424
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 8: and usually I have to go to work after that. Yeah,

425
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 8: so because of time difference.

426
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: How how did you become a cowboy fan? And and like,

427
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: have you always lived there?

428
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 8: I'm always lived in Russia. And I became a fan

429
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 8: because of my boyfriend. I'm in a distant relationship and

430
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 8: my boyfriend from Texas and he was busy it's Sunday

431
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 8: and was curious what he's doing, and I decided to

432
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 8: watch football.

433
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: Wow. Now that now that's a long distance relationship. Okay,

434
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Like I mean Texas to Russia. Yeah, that's that qualifies

435
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: as long distance. Well, so what do you think of

436
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: the team, What's what's going on. What are your thoughts there?

437
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 8: I think a Cowboys playing better than previous seasons. Anyway,

438
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 8: even if you don't look at this that layoff game,

439
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 8: everything else was really better and they improved so many things.

440
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 8: And even when they said they're going to work on

441
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 8: penalties to reduce amount of penalties, and they really did.

442
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 8: This was in the game with fashion gun, So I

443
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 8: see they can then be able to improve everything. I

444
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 8: just shouted that what happened or playoff game?

445
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, well it's hard. You're right, it's hard to

446
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: take away the playoff game because that's the last one,

447
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: that's the one we remember. But I get your point.

448
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a it was a good season,

449
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: but it's kind of what have you done for me

450
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: lately and lately that we saw? We saw that the loss,

451
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: But what else you have any other thoughts about the team?

452
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 8: I really believe in Cowboys. I know they can play

453
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 8: better and I expect that something is impressive will happen

454
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 8: next season. So I'm just the staying positive and an optimistic.

455
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: Oh great, favorite player? Who's your favorite player? City lamb

456
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: ceey lamb Okay, Well, he.

457
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 8: Certainly, especially especially I like his due with Dark because

458
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 8: they're playing together so good. I like to see that

459
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 8: connection between Duck.

460
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 5: And to Do.

461

Speaker 1: the call. Yeah, say Chris, can we get it here

463
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: we go? Because I mean this is certainly a first

464
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: time caller, first time caller from Russia for sure, So well,

465
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: thank you so much for calling. And you know, I

466
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: say it all the time. Appreciate anybody overseas and the

467
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: dedication it takes to be a Cowboy fan. It's hard

468
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: enough being in Texas, but I can't imagine being in

469
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: Russia and the time difference and all that. But we

470
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: definitely appreciate it.

471
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.

472
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 1: Have a nice day or evening, midnight, I don't know

473
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: what time it is there. That's pretty awesome. Uh, Katya

474
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: from Russia with the call, and it's interesting, you know,

475
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: she says, it's like it's like she just wants to

476
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: put the playoff game out. You know, it's like Dak

477
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: and Ceie they have such a great connection, well except

478
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: for the playoff game where they didn't, and they had

479
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: such a great season except for the playoff game when

480
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: they when they didn't. But anyways, it was a nice call.

481
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: Let me get got a couple of texts questions that

482
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: I've been up here. I need to read. Kevin from Virginia.

483
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: I've read a couple of articles saying Zach Martin contemplating retirement.

484
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything from that inside the Star? Also,

485
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: when are you allowed to talk about other teams pending

486
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: free agents after the Super Bowl? New League year. I'd

487
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: like to ask questions about free agency, but really respectful

488
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: towards the process. Don't get you in trouble. Thank you

489
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: appreciate that, Kevin from Virginia. It's always a little interesting

490
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: to talk about free agents because you know, I think

491
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: when it gets a couple of weeks, three weeks or

492
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: so closer you get into March, get into late February,

493
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: when you get an idea that you know teams are

494
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: going to be you know, players are going to be

495
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: free agents. Some of the guys you have all the

496
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: way up until mid March to be resigned with your team,

497
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: so you're still technically with the team, but you kind

498
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: of get an idea who's on the list, at least

499
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: who's on the list for unrestricted free agents. And that's

500
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: the way I view it. I mean, you're on the

501
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: list until you're not, uh, you know, you can't go

502
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: sign these guys, but you know you're you're you're a

503
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: pending free agent. And I think that's I don't think that.

504
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: I think we could sit and talk about that kind

505
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: of stuff and you know, just no knowing that you know,

506
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: anything can happen when you get up until to the

507
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: middle of March. So as for Zach Martin, I have

508
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: not heard that. I know he's not playing in the

509
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl. He opted out of that. I

510
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: think I think his wife's expecting their respecting another child,

511
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: so that that's one of the reasons. And also I

512
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: think he knews that that Tyler Smith was the next alternate,

513
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: so by him not going to the Pro Bowl, Tyler

514
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: Smith gets to do that. And so but I don't think, no,

515
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he's contemplating retirement. I I I think

516
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: he was thinking about his future. And I think if

517
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: he would have done if he really was thinking that way,

518
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have done that back in

519
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: training camp, you know, holding out like he did and

520
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, wanting a little bit more money. I don't

521
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: I think you would have done that if it was just

522
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: one year away. From from calling to quits unless something

523
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: happened this year. But I just don't I haven't heard

524
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: that and get the sense of that. He was talking

525
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: after the game about what they need to do to

526
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: get better next season and stuff, So I don't believe

527
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: that that is the case. There. All right, let's go

528
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: to Trey in Virginia.

529
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 5: I can hear you, Nick, can you hear me?

530
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Man? What's up?

531
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 5: Oh man, I'm I'm hyped to be online with you

532
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: right now.

533
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: First time, first time calling Chris.

534
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 7: There, let's go.

535
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Let's go, all.

536
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 5: Right real quick. I just wanted to say, first off,

537
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 5: like a lot of people say thank you, thank Derek

538
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: and everybody, because I've been following y'all for over twenty

539
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: years now. I'm thirty four. I'm one of those young guys.

540
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: Yeah you sound eighteen like I would. I wouldn't have

541
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: thought twenty yeah.

542
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, like my first memory super Bowl thirty

543
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 5: Larry Brown two interceptions, twenty seven to seventeen. That's my

544
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 5: first memory. Every six you're exactly fresh, sick.

545
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,239
Speaker 1: Hey, that's yeah, that's the way to do it. Who

546
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 1: would have thought that? You wouldn't have wouldn't have had

547
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: another one?

548
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 5: A exact not yet yet, but you know, just just

549
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 5: giving the good vibes out for everybody. I'm also a

550
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 5: University of Virginia fan, anybody that knows anything about college athletics,

551
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 5: I'm a spurned person in a lot of ways. But

552
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 5: then that one time happened in twenty nineteen after we

553
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 5: got embarrassed by UNBC the previous year.

554
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: So are you saying, are you saying Purdue is gonna

555
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: win it all in basketball this year?

556
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 5: Hey, if it does happen, then I'm damn sure putting

557
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 5: some money on the Cowboys next year.

558
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: And if you don't know what, we're referring to, Virginia

559
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: the number one seed or a number one seed in

560
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: the tournament in twenty nineteen.

561
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 5: Twenty eighteen, and we lost twenty.

562
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: Eighteen, first team to ever lose to a number sixteen seed. Embarrassing,

563
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: so embarrassing for a year that they came back the

564
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: next year and won the whole tournament. And then Purdue,

565
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: a number one seed last season, lost to a number

566
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: sixteen and uh and they're number one or maybe number

567
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: one in the country. They're really good this year. So

568
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: exact point is as embarrassing as it might be to

569
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: bowl out in the tournament or the playoffs. If you

570
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: if you're built the right way, you can you can

571
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: turn it around. We'll see if We'll see if they

572
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: do that.

573
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 5: But exactly see, you knew where I was going well

574
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 5: to catch.

575
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: Yeah I knew. Yeah, you gotta be cavalier in the

576
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: way that you respond to adversity.

577
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 5: Exactly where we go exactly You gotta have the right guy.

578
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: Didn't they have a guy named Guy? No, yeah he did,

579
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Guy. You gotta have the right guy to to

580
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: lead him. All right, I'm done. I'm done with the

581
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: bad jobs. Sorry, I've never done them, but I've done

582
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: it for now.

583
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 5: All right, two quick things, but yeah, on top of that,

584
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: just thinking you guys, because like I said, over the

585
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: last twenty push years of watching the Doctor and everybody

586
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 5: like y'all have been like the extra friends. I never

587
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 5: knew idea because you got me through all the good

588
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 5: and all the bad. And that's beyond the playing field.

589
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: That's just personal struggle that divorced everything. And now it's

590
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 5: all good because I've got a wonderful fiance now, so

591
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: you know, second time to charm agree, But yeah, so

592
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 5: it's just through all the good and bad, no matter

593
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: how bad things may seem, how bad it hurts as

594
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 5: a sportsman because trusted we all know it. There's always

595
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 5: like at the end of the day, and I just

596
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 5: I appreciate all you guys because your content is just

597
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 5: it's it's amazing. I wish I could have seen you

598
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 5: guys in Oxnard this past Jax. I did go to

599
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 5: the first Saturday Can't Win. You know, it was the

600
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 5: infamous Mojo moment where everybody.

601
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 9: Was missing field goals.

602
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 5: So I was so who knew we were going to all?

603
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 1: Did you think you were seeing an all pro kicker

604
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: that day? And when they were missing field goals.

605
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 5: I thought he had an all pro leg because he was

606
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 5: definitely booming from distance. It was just going to the

607
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: left for the right.

608
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm done with two things I've decided I'm done

609
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: with this year. I'm never gonna do again. Number One,

610
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna root for a certain team the Cowboys

611
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: should play in the playoffs, never doing that again because

612
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: you just don't know. Number Two, I'm never judging any

613
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: kicks in Oxnard, California again, not judging a kicker by

614
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: what I see or don't see. In Oxnard's I'm not

615
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: saying it's like this wind tunnel, but it just doesn't.

616
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: The kicks don't. It's just weird. It's weird the way

617
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: they kick there. It's weird the way the win does.

618
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: Kind of, it's a cross win just as long as

619
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: is they're decent. Just get to the games. We'll see

620
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: what happens. Dan Bailey wasn't very good, if I remember,

621
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: actually Dan Bailey was in Santonio his rookie year, but

622
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: I know he'd come back after that and he wasn't

623
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: that good coming off a Pro Bowl year, and then

624
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: everything was fine us Oxnard. It's great in many ways,

625
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: but judging kickers is not one of.

626
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 5: Them, exactly exactly.

627
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 10: If then, last up, I'll just make it quick.

628
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 5: I had sent you the text last week about what

629
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 5: you went in between like a center and a linebacker,

630
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 5: so I wanted to follow that up with and I'll

631
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 5: let you go. When it comes to a linebacker, what

632
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 5: type of traits would you love to see in them?

633
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: And I'll say for me to answer, because I know

634
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 5: you like to throw it back. I would love to

635
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 5: see a ray Lewis Morey in more recent terms. That's

636
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 5: what I want to type of dude.

637
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'll take a Ray Lewis. Thank you. Yeah,

638
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: I'll take that guy. You know, I know what you're saying.

639
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: And he was picked six or so.

640
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, he was a late first rounder.

641
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

642
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 5: And then also for the center, I would I wish

643
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 5: we could find the next Fredbeard, Travis Frederick. That would

644
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 5: make my heart, you know, complete, if we could find

645
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 5: the next But you know they're not a diamond dozen.

646
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 5: So I'll hang up and I'll listen to your thoughts.

647
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 5: Thank you for your call, Thank you for your time,

648
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 5: and I plan on being on more often.

649
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: All right, that sounds good. Good call, Good job, Trey. Uh,

650
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, center, you know, I'm just I'm going to

651
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: the woods. I'm finding this lumberjack that's got some football

652
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: abilding and uh, you know, he's got some quickness to him,

653
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: strong as an ox. That's what that's guy I want.

654
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm obviously joking, but but you just need that tough,

655
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: bouncer type type guy. And uh, I think they they

656
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: missed that a little bit.

657
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: Now.

658
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: Linebacker, this is where it'll be interesting to see Dan

659
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Quinn if he does come back as the defensive coordinator.

660
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,239
Speaker 1: That I think there needs to be a little bit

661
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: of a philosophical change. I'm looking more of a run

662
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: hit type linebacker that that fills the gap more than

663
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: than okay, so maybe his forty times wasn't the best.

664
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: I'll never forget when I was younger and I was

665
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: really really into football, and I had a VHS tape

666
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: and I might have told this story about It was

667
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: called Crunch Course. It was about the biggest hits. It

668
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: was a forty five minute NFL Films tape on hitting

669
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: and tough guys and things like that. And a guy

670
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: had a quote about Dick Bukis and he said, if

671
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: you asked him to run the forty would take him

672
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: three days. But sidelined to sideline, he was faster than

673
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: anybody on the field. He could go and chase the football. That,

674
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: to me is what a linebacker really is in sweatpants

675
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: or spandex in Indianapolis running the forty and he's runs

676
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: a four to seven five and everyone's like, oh, not

677
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: very good. Okay, put him on the field, let him

678
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: go get the football and see what happens. And I

679
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: think sometimes I think from a linebacker position, especially with

680
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: this team, there needs to be a little bit more

681
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: focus on running into the hole, into the gap, filling

682
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: that and making the play, making the hit and taking

683
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: on a guard eight yards down the field and getting

684
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: rid of him and going to making the play. That's

685
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: something I think the Cowboys miss a little bit from

686
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: the BAZ position, and I thought they were they were

687
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: getting that with Dimone Clark, and maybe he can develop

688
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: into that. But there's there's some you know, there's some

689
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: things that this team needs to get better at linebacker.

690
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of linebacker I'm looking at all right.

691
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: Kyle from East Brunswick, New Jersey. He says, if this

692
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: is the year to go all in and they're bringing

693
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: everyone back, would you rather sign the top defensive tackle

694
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: or linebacker in free agency? Mmmm? Well, the top it's

695
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: a different question because I think the top defensive tackles

696
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: are like all pros. You know, there's some of those

697
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: guys out there. I don't know if there's top linebackers

698
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 1: that are that are that way. So it's probably gonna

699
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: make more sense if they if they get the top linebacker,

700
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: because I think I think from what the cost is.

701
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: But either way, if they have an ability to stop

702
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: the run, that's the guy that I'm I'm looking for.

703
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: All Right, let's let's go to Matt in Los Angeles.

704
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 9: What's up.

705
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 11: It's my second time calling it. I was the one

706
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 11: last week talking about tacking the sports psychologists. Okay, and

707
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 11: that's not a knock on him, by the way at all.

708
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 11: I wasn't trying to No.

709
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: I didn't think so. I mean, yeah, I'm not. I

710
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: didn't think so.

711
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 11: I just felt like in that Packer game, you didn't

712
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 11: see those mistakes all season long. You know that the mistakes?

713
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 11: Who was making that Packer game? But anyways, in regards

714
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 11: to the draft class, I hate the grief they're getting.

715
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 11: I think it's more of a credit to the way

716
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 11: they've drafted in the recent in the in the.

717
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: That's that's part of it, you know what I mean.

718
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: It's they have two things. Are you saying, are they

719
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: because they're getting compared to better classes or because those

720
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: classes are those players are still here and it's hard

721
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: to get onto the field.

722
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 11: I was talking about hard to get on the field.

723
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 11: But you but your first point is just more solidified as.

724
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 9: What I'm trying to gay.

725
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 11: I do I am, I I am upset. I mean

726
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 11: that they totally whiffed on Kelvin Joseph and Nashaan Wright.

727
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 11: I mean it's but then it's like, Okay, well they

728
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 11: struck goal with Bland, I get it. Yeah, but like

729
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 11: they couldn't like you know, Cheeto and Jordan Lewis like,

730
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 11: just give me that, you know what I mean. If

731
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 11: they could have got that type of play out of

732
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 11: calvit at Nashon, then we won't be playing zone coverage

733
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 11: against the Packers the entire game because didn't even trust

734
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 11: Right to go in there for Gilmour and place a

735
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 11: man you know, you know.

736
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: But let me say this about na Shon right, nay

737
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: Shaan Wright was is a product of what Dan Quinn's

738
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: prototype corner. He wants that big, long cornerback that that

739
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: can that can run and turn his hips and things

740
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: like that. And Nasehaan Wright showed the traits of that.

741
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: He didn't show he didn't have a lot of tape

742
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: of him doing that. I think this was more of

743
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: a kind of a project and maybe develop him, and

744
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: he just hasn't developed to that level. You know, he's

745
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: got he looks the part. You know, if he was,

746
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: if he could do all the things you would want

747
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: at a corner and then yeah, but you know there's

748
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: a reason why there's not many six four corners. I mean,

749
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: there's just hard to do that. I mean, there's a

750
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: there's it's hard to keep up with Tyreek Shill even

751
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: if you look like him much less if you're six

752
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: four and lanky and stuff like that. So it's tough.

753
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 11: But uh, scoot, like Mozzie and Schoomaker, those are positions

754
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 11: that are that typically take a good take a good

755
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 11: season like quddit. Williams was not dominant his rookie year,

756
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 11: you know, and I think I think they're getting what

757
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 11: they what they expected out of those positions. What does

758
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 11: confuse me about Mazzi is they drafted him to be

759
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 11: a trash can full of dirt and then they made

760
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 11: him drop like as the size of a three tech.

761
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 11: You know, if you heard any whisper around the water

762
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 11: cooler as to why they were doing.

763
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: That, No, No, I have not, and I that that

764
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: hasn't come up. It probably it probably should, but I

765
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: have not. I've not heard exactly what went into that,

766
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not one hundred percent sure that the Cowboys

767
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: were like signing off on this, you know, like a

768
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: completely like, let's lose all this weight. So I really

769
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know we we should. I'm sure

770
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: those will be questions that will be asked. I do

771
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: know this. I talked to Lounda Wells today, actually tight

772
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: Ends coach, and he said he, you know, I talked

773
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: to him about Ferguson going to the Pro Bowl. And

774
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: it's a big deal for you know, position coach to

775
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: get a guy in the Pro Bowl. And you know,

776
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're an alternate or not or whatever.

777
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: He's in. He's in the Pro Bowl and he always

778
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: will be a Pro Bowler. But he was talking about

779
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: He also said, don't don't forget about Schoolmaker. He said,

780
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: this guy got hurt at the worst time, you know,

781
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: with right before in the off season, before camp, and

782
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: Ferguson blew up, he really did. But he said, this

783
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: guy is going to be a really, really good player

784
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: for us, and.

785
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 11: And I expect him to take a huge second year

786
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 11: and and you know.

787
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: Who else it took a huge second year leap, right

788
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: So I I think they I think they'll they'll be

789
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: just fine. I really do. I think Ferguson will be

790
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: the guy and I think schoonmaker will be somebody that

791
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: that will you know, be a good blocker that will

792
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: also you know, be able to make some place. He's

793
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: got to He's got to be a little bit more

794
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: sure handed, maybe a little less stuff, but he'll be

795
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: He'll be fine.

796
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 11: He didn't do much of that in college, so it's

797
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 11: still somewhat new to him, you know. So I think

798
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 11: a full year working with Dak and then Overstown had

799
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 11: all the signs of being a star. You can't you

800
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 11: can't fault the team for that guy getting injured. And

801
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 11: this Bhoco, I think he's gonna be a great power dan,

802
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 11: which we need to stop the run.

803
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 9: But that was just.

804
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 11: Another I think depth pick because how well they drafted

805
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 11: in the last few years, you.

806
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 9: Know, and then you're anything beyond fourth round.

807
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 11: If you're you're hoping, but you're not expecting to get

808
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 11: like a lot of you know, that's just my personal take.

809
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 11: You know, you're hoping to get production out of them,

810
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 11: but you're not necessarily banking on or budgeting that. I

811
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 11: don't know, man Mozzi, just the vibes. I saw Malie

812
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 11: Collins get five and a half sacks as a three

813
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 11: technique as a rookie, and then they started messing with

814
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 11: them at one technique and this and that, and I'm like, no, like,

815
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 11: let Mozzi do what he does. Let him terrorize that

816
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 11: interior and help our linebackers run.

817
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: You know, well, we'll see his big off season for

818
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: both of them, both the schoolmaker and Mazzie. And over

819
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: shown that for that matter, Over shown so far, so

820
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: good on the rehab, looks pretty good. If this is January,

821
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: I got I gotta. I saw a little bit of him,

822
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: and you know, for where he is here in January,

823
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: I think I think it'd be It seems like he

824
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: would be in good shape to to do some of

825
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 1: the off season stuff in the course training camp. All right, Matt,

826
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Good stuff. All right, how about

827
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to who's this text message from here? This

828
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: is oh Anthony Anthony in Miami. Actually Anthony Miami was

829
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: our first caller. I had a little bit of difficulties

830
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: technically at first, and so he couldn't hang on with us.

831
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: But uh, he said he'll be there. He said, I'm

832
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: still the number one caller. He said, still be the

833
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: number one caller. Have a great show. Sorry, Anthony, appreciate that.

834
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it didn't work out, but always always a

835
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: good caller for sure. How about Chris and San Angelo, Texas? Hello,

836
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: good Chris? How are you?

837
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 7: I'm doing well? First off, I'll say the listening to

838
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 7: the caller from Russia, that was the lotful. I loved that.

839
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: That was awesome. Yeah, that was that was amazing. I

840
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: mean especially the story. You know, She's like, what are

841
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: you doing? You never call me between twelve and three

842
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: on Sunday? What's going on here?

843
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 7: Exactly?

844
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: Who are these cowboys? Yeah?

845
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 7: I know, I was like, Wow, I don't know if

846
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 7: I can follow that. But anyway, yeah.

847
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, hard hard to follow that for sure. But do

848
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: you think San Angelo, Texas is like Russia? Because I

849
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: think there.

850
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 7: Would be different goodness with Yeah, polar opposites. It's like, yeah, but.

851
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: They didn't they were film Rocky for in San Angelo?

852
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: Is that what you're telling me?

853
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 7: There was no there was no drag out.

854
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: They actually didn't film it in Russia either. I think

855
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: it was in It was in Montana.

856
00:43:54,280 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 7: But whatever, right, you know, little thing Christmas? Okay, Look,

857
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 7: I just had ad a couple of questions. First off,

858
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 7: as far as the the draft goes, where are you

859
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 7: as far as let's just say, round one, round two?

860
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 7: Who you picking round one and round two position wise?

861
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 7: Not people? I don't expect you to know that.

862
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well then okay, oh no, no.

863
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 7: My other one was as far as our free agents are,

864
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 7: I was gonna keep it kind of the same. Which two,

865
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 7: If you could only keep two, who are you keeping?

866
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: And then that's basically okay, that's from an unrestricted standpoint,

867
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: exactly exactly resigning it's a good one. Okay, Well, well

868
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: who are your two?

869
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 7: My two are I'm thinking, oh god, you had to

870
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 7: ask me that. Okay. The guy I'm thinking Hankins and

871
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 7: in the defensive end.

872
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: By Fowler or uh Dorn's aren't from Armstrong.

873
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 7: Sorry, thank you for I had those two in mind,

874
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 7: but I wasn't ready to enter that.

875
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: That's okay, thank you for the call.

876
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 7: I like hank.

877
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I think that would be good.

878
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: Thinks you know, I would like to see I mean,

879
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: I would like to see Diggs Gilmore in Bland as

880
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: my the three corners. So Gilmore, you know, I throw

881
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: him in there. Jordan Lewis, you can you know, you could,

882
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: you could put him in, but I think Hankins and

883
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: Gilmore would be two. Now they're about the same as

884
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: far as older guys, betteran guys, but you know, it

885
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: was it was unfortunate what happened to Gilmore the injury,

886
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I think it did affect the

887
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: team because he was one of the guys. Is ironic

888
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: because he was one of the guys. He's been there,

889
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: He's won Super Bowls, he's won Defensive Player of the Years.

890
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's played in bigger games than that,

891
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: and so you you wish you could have got one

892
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: hundred percent you know him health wise, and you know

893
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: Diggs as well, and then now you've got Bland and

894
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: so I I that would be that would be something

895
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: that would be intriguing for me. It might cost a

896
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: little bit because you know he's he had a good year,

897
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: but you know, with Brandon Cooks, if he comes back

898
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: and he should be, he's under contract, so that that

899
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: would be you know, that's they're good friends. I'd like

900
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 1: to see Gilmour and Hankins would be my two and

901
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: in that and that for that question, all right, and

902
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: then also for the for the rounds. You know, when

903
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: you're picking at that you know you, I'm looking at

904
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: a player that can contribute right away. That's that's what

905
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. So give me a guy that that can

906
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: help me tomorrow. And whoever that is, maybe that it's

907
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: going to be. You know, maybe that would be a center,

908
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: and I would be fine with that. Now. I will

909
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: say this though, don't don't forget. Free agency starts in

910
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: mid March. The draft is late April, so they're going

911
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 1: to have some kind of fix at center. They'll they'll

912
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: they'll sign someone. It doesn't mean that you're not going

913
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: to draft a guy in the first round. But I

914
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: don't think they'll be going into the draft going our

915
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: starting center is going to be in here. That's too

916
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: dangerous to do that. So they'll they'll have something there.

917
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: But but you know, your first round, if you can,

918
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: if you can get a plug and play linebacker or

919
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: center or even left tackle, if that's the route that

920
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: you want to go, and if if it works out,

921
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: and if there was a guy there, running back would

922
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: work for me. But I don't know if it will be.

923
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if that if this is the year

924
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: for running back there, but who knows a lot of

925
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of forty times to be run, a

926
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: lot of pro day's, a lot of interviews combine. There's

927
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: there's guys that people are projecting in these early mocks

928
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: in the third round and next thing, you know, they

929
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: could be sitting there in the middle, you know. I

930
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: mean the guy like jam Jamier Gibbs. You know, he

931
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: went twelfth overall. I mean he kind of kind of

932
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 1: shot up the boards a little bit. So who knows

933
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: what will happen there? All right? I think the phone

934
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: lines are open, is that right, Chris? All right? Phone

935
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: lines are open. We got a little bit more to go.

936
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll go maybe five ten more minutes or so.

937
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: So if you want to call in quickly, this is

938
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: the time. If you say I never can get in,

939
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: you can get in right now. Eight eight eight eight

940
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven. I know there was

941
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: a question up here that I did not read. Maybe

942
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: maybe not all right, but uh, you know, going back

943
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: at one of the questions about about the about the

944
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: Lions game, and you know, just it's easy to sit

945
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: in and do that. You know, we talk about Dan

946
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: Campbell should have done this, should have done that. I mean,

947
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: I'll say this though about about what he's done for

948
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 1: that team is he's brought a mentality and this is

949
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: not easy to do when you're the when you're the

950
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: coach of the Lions who have never won. And and

951
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: so to change the culture, change the attitude in the

952
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: belief of hey, we can go win. I mean that

953
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: that's impressive. Yeah, and I said I I thought they

954
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: were a little too aggressive. I thought he was and

955
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: the decision making. But that mindset is not easy to

956
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: just turn on and off. It isn't. And so not

957
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: trying to be hypocritical, but I'm saying, you gotta be

958
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: you gotta be fair. You can't just sit here and say,

959
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: well and I did it. You know, you can't do

960
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: it all the time. But that's who he is, That's

961
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: who Dan Campbell is, That's who the Lions are now,

962
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: and that's the belief and that's kind of what got

963
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: him there. So it's fair to criticize that moment. And

964
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's a learning thing for him and for all coaches,

965
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, and McCarthy did it a couple of times too.

966
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: It's a belief in your team. We we yeah we

967
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: can run the ball and have to kick a field

968
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: goal and all that. But if I just if Dak

969
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: just hits CD right here, game's over, because I've seen

970
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: him do it a million times. So it's a belief

971
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: in your players and your team, and sometimes it can

972
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: bite you, but it's it's kind of who you are.

973
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: So on one hand, I thought it hurt the team,

974
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: but he understand it because that's that's who he is.

975
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,959
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Joe in Pennsylvania on the line, Joe,

976
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: what's up.

977
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 10: Hey, Nick? Want to run something by us? Sir? What

978
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 10: you thought? When I look at how teams are built

979
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 10: and where they gain advantages, it's obviously not in salary

980
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 10: cap or practice time because those are set for all

981
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,720
Speaker 10: the teams. So then you have to look to coaching.

982
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 10: And I think when you look, you know, objectively, at

983
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 10: Cowboys coaches, you got McCarthy who won a Super Bowl.

984
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 10: You got Quinn who's been to a Super Bowl as

985
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 10: a head coach. I think you'd say, overall, we've got

986
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 10: good coaching. Then you have to look at talent, talent acquisition.

987
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 10: I think Jerry steven and Will have done a good

988
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 10: job bringing in talent. And you know, even though he

989
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 10: may say our talent may be slightly overrated, just because

990
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 10: we're on TV a lot and everything. I still think

991
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 10: we've had good teams over the years, so I don't

992
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 10: think that's an issue. And so what it falls to

993
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,959
Speaker 10: to me is what the players do on their own,

994
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 10: because that is the great unknown, Like we have no

995
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 10: idea how much film study they do on their own

996
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 10: after practice they get together with the other players and

997
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 10: who's holding them accountable to that? And to me, I

998
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 10: think that's kind of where Jerry comes back into play.

999
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 10: And it's not the talent acquisition part, because I think

1000
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 10: he does well there, but I think by kind of

1001
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 10: not giving the head coach more ability to discipline players,

1002
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 10: I think that's where we're lacking because rarely do you

1003
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 10: see any of our players get benched. You don't see

1004
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 10: Sam Williams get benched off the punt return on team,

1005
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 10: so you don't. And somebody recently said a story about

1006
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 10: Felix Jones back when he fumbled and many times in

1007
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 10: Garrett said there was going to be consequences, and then

1008
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 10: they asked Jerry about it and he said, no, he's

1009
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 10: going to be starting. So it's like when you have

1010
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 10: that where your coach can't discipline when he sees problems

1011
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 10: on the team. I think that's where, like you know,

1012
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 10: you look at certain players like Sean Lee and he

1013
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 10: obviously did all the film study on his own, and

1014
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 10: you could see that show up on the field today's team.

1015
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 10: I see that with de Marcus Lawrence. I can see

1016
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 10: him doing that, But other players I don't see that

1017
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 10: showing up. And obviously, you know, we have no way

1018
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 10: of knowing how much they're studying on the side, But

1019
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 10: it seems like that to me is where we're lacking

1020
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 10: the most. And I don't know how you quantify that

1021
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 10: or how you make that better other than giving the

1022
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 10: head coach who sees, you know, see everything more ability

1023
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 10: to discipline the players and and hold them accountable.

1024
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that I mean, that's that's kind of going

1025
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: down a line that it is hard to quantify. Like

1026
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: you said, but I'm not going to tell you that

1027
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: you're wrong because I wouldn't know. And you're right, you're

1028
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: trying trying to put your finger on something, and that's,

1029
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, and that's I actually appreciate that because it

1030
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look like you know, it's it's just coaching and

1031
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: the players that you know good enough all that, Like

1032
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: what else is there, and so maybe that could be

1033
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: the case. It really, it really could be. I I

1034
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer for you. I I like,

1035
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: like I said, I like, I like where where you're

1036
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: going with that? And uh, and we don't know, we

1037
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: don't know who's studying what here and there. But you know,

1038
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. It's a good example, but it's also a

1039
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,959
Speaker 1: bad example because there's not many like Shawn Lee. Because

1040
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, I'll tell you the story about him. I

1041
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: tried to do an interview with him about something right

1042
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: before his first game. It was on the train going

1043
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: to San Diego, and he wanted no part of it

1044
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: because it was a preseason game. He was focused hit

1045
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: his book out, he was studying. He was all about this,

1046
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: these twelve snaps that he's going to play in this

1047
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: preseason game. It was all about business. He was that

1048
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: way from the start, and I'm telling you that's it's

1049
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 1: not like he got that later on in his career

1050
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: when he realized, man, I gotta be more of a studier.

1051
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: He was that way coming in. So that's a good example.

1052
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: But at the same time, there is not many likes

1053
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. So you would have hoped that some of

1054
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: these younger players kind of would have, you know, developed

1055
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: those skills a little bit more. But I don't know

1056
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: if they are honestly all right, Oh sorry, still there.

1057
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: What's up, Joe? Joe? I cut them off? Cut him off? Okay,

1058
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: sorry Joe. It was a good It was really good

1059
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 1: thought it really it really is. Those are those things,

1060
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: you know. I always get a little let's get a

1061
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: lancy when we talk about we need more leadership, or

1062
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: you need more heart, you need more character anymore. It's

1063
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: hard because it's like, what's the level? You know, you

1064
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: don't know that. You know, people people thinking Mari Cooper

1065
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: doesn't care about football because it's not. He's not Odell

1066
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: Beckham and c d and whoever else, you know, jumping

1067
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: around after plays and doing all that. He's just he's

1068
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 1: not doesn't mean he doesn't love football. So it's hard

1069
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: to kind of talk about what kind of person they are.

1070
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: You know, I just watched a football life on Barry Sanders.

1071
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: He never did that at all. It was a pretty good,

1072
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: pretty good player. But anyways, all right, let's go to

1073
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: Eric in North Carolina, probably our last call for the day.

1074
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: Eric or North Carolina.

1075
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, How are you doing today?

1076
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: Good? How are you?

1077
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. Since it's the off season, I thought

1078
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 3: we could talk about Cowboys memorabilia. And I know this

1079
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 3: show is almost over, but I'd love to hear the

1080
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 3: usual callers maybe call it next time and tell us, like, well,

1081
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 3: like what kind of cool stuff that they have?

1082
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: What do you have?

1083
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 3: But I've got three things that that I'm really thrilled about.

1084
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 3: I have a personalized autographed football from Roger Staubach.

1085
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: Wow.

1086
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 3: And and I have a I have a letter from

1087
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 3: Tom Landry that that uh. I write him a letter

1088
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 3: in the eighties when the Cowboys were having a particularly

1089
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 3: poor season, and and I told him, and I told

1090
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 3: him that he was a outstanding coach, a fine Christian

1091
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 3: gentleman in a World War Two hero. And he wrote

1092
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 3: me back and it told and he told me that

1093
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 3: he really that I really bolstered his morale was his

1094
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 3: exact words.

1095
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 1: How old were you when you sent this?

1096
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 3: I was in high school.

1097
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: Wow. Good for you. I think that's pretty awesome.

1098
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1099
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always looked up to him. He was he

1100
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:05,439
Speaker 3: was so consistent and and I always I always read

1101
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 3: about the players that retired, how much they admired him,

1102
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 3: and he was such a father figure and meant so

1103
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 3: much to him, you know, uh, you know, meant so

1104
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 3: much to them, but they didn't really say it like

1105
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 3: during the play in days like afterwards, you know, when

1106
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 3: they had time to reflect. But but I always thought

1107
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 3: he was an out outstanding an outstanding man.

1108
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 7: And I know he he saved.

1109
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 3: His bomber crew. I know he was a co pilot

1110
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 3: and a B seventeen liberator, and and I know that

1111
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 3: he saved his crew one time from just from all.

1112
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 3: I remember reading in a book that that that the

1113
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 3: pilot had ordered the crew to bail out, and basically

1114
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 3: Tom said, let me do one more thing, and he

1115
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 3: changed the mixture, the fuel oil mixture, and that saved

1116
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 3: him from from having to bail out over Germany. So anyway,

1117
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 3: and the last thing I have is, uh is a

1118
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 3: autograph Dallas Cowboy Weekly from Ken Norton Junior one time

1119
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 3: when he came to Charlotte.

1120
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well yeah, that's pretty that's pretty awesome. I don't

1121
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: think anybody really wants to uh call in and talk

1122
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: with you about these things, because I don't know if

1123
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: they're going to have a letter from Tom Landry and

1124
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: an autographed ball from Roger Staubach now the Ken King

1125
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: Norton Jr. You know, no offense to to you know, Ken,

1126
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: but I mean, uh, you know a little bit of

1127
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: a drop off from the letter about Tom Landrye're the

1128
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: greatest coach of all time, saying you boosted his morale,

1129
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: which I think which probably boosted yours forever.

1130
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 3: It really has, because sometimes I forget I have it awesome.

1131
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Don't lose it, Okay, go through stuff. Don't please, don't

1132
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: lose your autographed memorabilia from a player. Only an idiot

1133
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: with do that, speaking from experience. So yeah, yeah, my dad,

1134
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll tell you a story. My dad,

1135
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: he would traveled a lot, and he got an autograph

1136
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: of Tony Dorset, who was my great was my favorite

1137
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: player of all time. I was probably like nine years old,

1138
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: maybe ten, and he got his autographs, one of those

1139
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: black and white photos you know, with pose and all that,

1140
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: and it said to Nick take my place in nineteen

1141
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: ninety eight. So they did the math on how I

1142
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: would be old. I would twenty two or whatever, you know,

1143
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, little scrawny kid at the time. I mean,

1144
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a running back in the NFL. Okay, sorry,

1145
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm not Christian McCaffrey, but you know, and but you

1146
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: know the ironic part of that is I was an

1147
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: intern for the Cowboys in nineteen ninety eight. So I

1148
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 1: didn't take his place. I didn't take Tony over Set's place.

1149
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: But I worked for the Cowboys. Little kid in Oklahoma

1150
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: worked for the Cowboys in nineteen ninety eight. And I

1151
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: don't have that picture anymore. I don't know where it went,

1152
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: and I might, yeah, I might get emotional thinking about that.

1153
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: But don't don't forget. Don't lose your stuff like that,

1154
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: because I didn't forget about it. But I wish I

1155
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: had that because how sentimental that would be for me

1156
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: to have that. But yeah, that that's a cool kind

1157
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: I'd like that. That might be our next theme of

1158
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: when people when fans call in, like what do you have?

1159
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: You know what? That's because you don't have to live

1160
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: and you can live anywhere and collect some cool stuff

1161
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: like that. So great, great concept there. I like that.

1162
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: So hard to.

1163
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 3: Beat, though, I do you have a letter from uh

1164
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 3: from tech Shram as well. But but the Tom Andrew

1165
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 3: one and the Rogers sawback football are definitely the yeah

1166
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 3: the highlight.

1167
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely for sure. So all right, Eric, that's good stuff.

1168
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Good call. Appreciate that. All Right, we are gonna I

1169
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: said we were gonna. That was gonna be the last one.

1170
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna take Zach in Germany. We're gonna We're going

1171
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: to Germany, Zach. What's up?

1176
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: only I only heard it five years ago. But that's

1177
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: what happens when you're a non athlete. It just it

1178
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really heal very well. But yeah, thanks for asking here.

1179
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, no, no problem. It was just that soccer

1180
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 9: practice tweaked mind, that thought of you. So yeah, Well anyway.

1181

01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 9: forty seven.

1184
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I get it? Well, can can you just don't be

1185
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: an idiot and don't keep running on it like I did?

1186
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: Just stay off of it. You're fine. You'll miss a

1187
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: game or two, but you can't be messing around with

1188
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: a calf like that. Man.

1189
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 9: Sure, No, but I'll tell you what. If I was

1190
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 9: looking at the schedule and if the Panthers come out

1191
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 9: here and the Cowboys happen to join them for another

1192
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 9: overseas one which we're due for, Yeah, I'll tell you

1193
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 9: what I will. I would like to be your ringer

1194
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 9: and run the forty against Isaiah if he comes out.

1195
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, as I was.

1196
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 9: Listening, I was listening a couple months ago and he

1197
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 9: said he was bringing the smoke to every every show.

1198
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 9: So I know you're a solo show, but you know what,

1199
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 9: I'll step in if you need me. If you guys

1200
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 9: come out this way.

1201
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: All right, that'll be uh, that'll be interesting. Where we're

1202
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: kind of looking at that thinking maybe, you know, maybe

1203
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: if Carolina needs a need somebody, I mean, I'm sorry,

1204
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: but the NFL is gonna need somebody other than the

1205
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: Panthers to go to Germany.

1206
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 11: Uh.

1207
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: If that's a shot at the Panthers, sorry, I mean,

1208
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I mean you lived there. You see a

1209
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of Panthers jerseys walking around. No, no, well, now

1210
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I went to.

1211
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 9: I did go to the game back at fourteen when

1212
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 9: you guys went to London. That's all every jersey.

1213
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, that was that was a fun game.

1214
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: That was fun walking to the stadium and like, all right,

1215
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: let's play the game here. First one to find a

01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Bucks jersey and you're like, oh yeah, you're like sap,

01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 7: Yeah it was.

1220
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 9: It was a good time, good time. On a more

1221
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 9: serious note, I wanted to kind of go over some

1222
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 9: of the ideologies I think from our front offices standpoint

1223
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 9: that might need to change. Right so when you're looking

1224
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 9: at some things and were you guys were discussing it

1225
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 9: not too long ago. The ideology right now is we're

1226
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 9: going to focus on draft first, sign our own and

1227
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 9: build in, which works to some degree, but it hasn't

1228
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 9: really worked for us lately. And if you look at

1229
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 9: some of the mistakes that we've made this last draft class,

1230
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 9: we didn't get a lot of production out of and

1231
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 9: I get you know, we had some high hopes for

1232
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 9: the third round of there and towards a cl and

1233
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 9: you know, Pozzie, you know, unfortunately didn't produce. But you know,

1234
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 9: some of the other trades they're good, like the fifth

1235
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 9: rounders that fill in and you you're right, I think

1236
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 9: we need to make a bigger splast. The problem is

1237
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 9: is we've put ourselves in a position with looking at

1238
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 9: Dak's current contract, we kicked that can too far down

1239
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 9: the road that you know, he has all the leverage

1240
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 9: and it's going to be really difficult to make the

1241
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 9: moves that you were discussing to go sign a big

1242
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 9: free agent. We might have a little cap space to

1243
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 9: do it, but you're also looking at you know, what

1244
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 9: did we do with Amar? Right, so we trade it first,

1245
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 9: we have the guy for three years, and then you

1246
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 9: turn around and you try to flip him for a fit.

1247
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 9: You get nothing back on it. And you know, I'm

1248
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 9: looking at other teams around the league. There's four teams

1249
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 9: that I think have made some big moves, and the

1250
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 9: Cowboys we've wanted to stay relevant, which is good, right,

1251
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 9: And I think we've had a good teams and you're

1252
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 9: trying to build around that. But at the same time,

1253
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 9: I think we have to change part of the philosophy too.

1254
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 9: That look what happened with Tampa when they brought him

1255
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 9: and Brady and brought on those vets. The Rams did

1256
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 9: something very similar not too long ago. When they brought

1257
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 9: in Stafford and some of those guys. Two other teams

1258
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 9: that actually made the Super Bowl and weren't afraid to

1259
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 9: blow it up was Philly and San Francisco, Right, both

1260
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 9: of those teams, they got there and they said, hey,

1261
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 9: Jimmy G's not good enough. We're gonna We're gonna go

1262
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 9: back to the to the well. Now, they didn't hit

1263
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 9: on Trey Lance, but they did get lucky with you know,

1264
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 9: their next guy. You look at Philly, Philly gets there

1265
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 9: with Foles and and they try to do it once.

1266
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 9: The next year they say, hey, this isn't enough. We're

1267
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 9: going to go and draft the guy, you know, and

1268
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 9: they rebuild that way. Do you think that's something that

1269
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 9: I think us as fans are looking at saying something

1270
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 9: has to change. I know, next year it's probably not

1271
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 9: going to be likely looking at the contract situation and

1272
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 9: they're trying to run it back with the coaching staff.

1273
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 9: But do you think that maybe sometimes you got to

1274
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 9: jump in the deep end and make a change. You

1275
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 9: think that's something that we would be willing to do

1276
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 9: in the future.

1277
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's going to be Thanks for the calls.

1278
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate that, and like I said with the caller that

1279
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: we had from from Russia. Thank you for you know,

1280
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: obviously the dedication it takes to be a cowboy fan

1281
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: long distance. Tough to be cowboy fan anywhere, you know

1282
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: right now. But when you know you have some much

1283
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: disappointment like that. But sorry guys, dealing with like a

1284
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: six year cough here. I think that blowing it up.

1285
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: It all comes down to the quarterback. You know, it

1286
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: comes down to that contract, and I think that will

1287
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: be the sign of what they do. And you know,

1288
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: I know that Jerry was asked probably like twenty times

1289
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: here today, different reporters trying to ask about contracts, and

1290
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: he's just not budget on it, not giving a whole

1291
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: lot of what they're gonna do with Dak. I think

1292
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna say, kind of be the determining factor on

1293
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: anything on what they do moving forward or going backwards

1294
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: or starting over or whatever. So if they don't restructure him,

1295
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: then this is gonna be kind of a you know,

1296
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: this is it put all the eggs in next year's basket.

1297
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: Same with McCarthy saying with DK, but I don't think

1298
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: that you're gonna see them just kind of blow it up.

1299
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: I just don't see that happening for this team, all right,

1300
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: struggling here at the end. I gotta get through. Great,

1301
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: great show for everybody, for Chris being I'm Nick Eatman.

1302
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: We will see you Thursday, different time, twelve thirty. Darren

1303
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Woodson's gonna be joining us, so that's why we're moving

1304
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: up to twelve thirty. We will see you then on

1305
