1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 2: He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 3: Cowboys.

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 2: This is Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman, what's up? Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: by Gellette, Monday, December twenty ninth. Hope everyone had a

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: merry Christmas. And we'll wrap up this twenty twenty five season,

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: twenty five calendar year. We'll do it all this week.

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Should have that could be a full week of shows.

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: I think we got only three three shows and then

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: we'll we'll wrap it up for the week. So we've

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: got to cram a lot of things in here. Here

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Washington game, Giants game, and then

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: everything else in between. At least the Cowboy went up

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: to Washington and got to win. Looked like it was

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: going to be a pretty easy win. Then the defense said, well,

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, watch this, let's do what we do. The offense,

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, made some plays with a lot of fourth downs,

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: fourth and fourth down six times. I think that's set.

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: Definitely said a Cowboys record, and it said an NFL

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: record back to like nineteen ninety whenever they started tracking that,

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: but really just showed the trust that the Cowboys have

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: in their offense, maybe lack of trust that they have

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: in their defense. Themes continued into Washington and Christmas Day.

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: But at least if we're there and we woke up

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: in a hotel room without our families, all that stuff,

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: at least the Cowboys were out there and took care

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: of business. All right, different Washington, The state of Washington

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: is where we got Skyler. He'll start us off today,

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Skyler in Washington State. What's up?

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: Good morning, Mack. I'm pretty good. So I kind of

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: have more qush evaluating your talent from the draft, Like

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: how many years would you give somebody like Scoot Maker

36
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: who is drafted the second round but hasn't seemed to

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 4: live up to that draft pick?

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it varies by the the position, but

39
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: also where you draft them, you know what I mean,

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: because it's like, you know, you want to you want

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: these guys to develop, But what is this third year

42
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: for Schoonmaker? So third year as a second round pick?

43
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I no, he has not lived up to expectations there,

44
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: He's not, you know.

45
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 5: Now.

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Ferguson is also blossomed and he's better, and I think

47
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: span Forward maybe is better as well. But no, I

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: don't think Schoonmaker has given you what you would what

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: you would want from a second round pick after three years.

50
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: That's kind of what I've been thinking about him, because

51
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: every time he gets a shot that catch, the ball

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: seems to drop it. And yeah, just that maybe Ferguson

53
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 4: kind of hindered his development a little bit too.

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 3: Sure.

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think if they would have thought sorry,

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: but I think if they would have kind of seen

57
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: what Ferguson was about to do, they wouldn't have drafted

58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: him in the second round, you know, but that was.

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: What we like coming off of Schultz, and then we

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: had Ferguson and he was kind of showing us some

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: glunces instans. So maybe Schoonmaker just kind of got washed

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: out by pretty you know, showing up and playing.

63
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: Sure good, Yeah, yeah, I mean Ferguson has has been

64
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: good and he's he's taking that next leap, and you know,

65
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's kind of left scoon Maker in

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: a in a weird spot.

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: And then you got for he's looking pretty good for

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 4: six or was he six or seventh.

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: Round, undrafted, was undrafted.

70
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: He's undrafted. Okay, yeah, really, I mean you kind of

71
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: see that with Illinois, Like maybe I felt like Tolbert

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: was holding back his reps a little bit this year

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: and he's kind of just came out in the last

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: seven weeks and really showed that. Okay, maybe people under

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: estimated this guy.

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: M h.

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: So it just kind of interesting. I just kind of

79
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: wonder what you know based off their draft, you know,

80
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: draft position, and how long would you get a second

81
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 4: round versus a third round.

82
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 6: Or fourth round.

83
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: No, that's the first.

84
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: Round you expect to start, for sure.

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it varies. Thanks for the call, Skyler. And

86
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: that's and that's one that you know, you don't evaluate

87
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: everybody the same. You don't treat people the same, they

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: don't get paid the same. So it's not there's not

89
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: just this blanket coverage that you say, all right, this

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: is how you evaluate certain players. But your second round picks,

91
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: to me, you know, should should be guys that that

92
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: that can come in and usually usually they're first they're

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: they're like guys that you think are could be first rounders,

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: but they've got something that that kind of held them back.

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: The Scoonmaker pick was always a little strange to me

96
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: because you know, you were hoping for that jump there

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: and and Ferguson had already shown enough as a rookie

98
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: where you you know, you wanted to see something there,

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: and that pick really hasn't panned out. And it'll be

100
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens here in this last year

101
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: of his contract coming up. Do they just ride it

102
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: out or do they move on? Because I know this,

103
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: If Lounda Wells is the tight ends coach, I mean

104
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna find other tight ends that that's he's he

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: does it. He's done it every year. He's found hindershot,

106
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: he found span Forard Princeton Fant has been a guy

107
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: that they they brought in and he's stills around in

108
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: the practice squad. And I feel like there's another undrafted

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: tight end that they that they got somewhere in that mix,

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: like two or three years in a row. Well John

111
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Stevens was one, and he just unfortunately just couldn't stay healthy.

112
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: But he was another one that they found. Lunda Wells

113
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: will find you a good tight end. So you know,

114
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if if they have to move on

115
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: from Schoonmaker or not. All right, let's go to our

116
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: next her. Now, this guy's done something that I haven't

117
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: done yet, and that's had had Christmas with my mom

118
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: Randy in Texas, Canna, Randy, what's up?

119
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 7: What's going on? Brother?

120
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 8: How you doing?

121
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: So? My my mom in Texa, Canna spent with Christmas

122
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: day watching the game with you and your family.

123
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, she did.

124
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 7: It was an awesome time.

125
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Man.

126
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 7: I didn't want them to be over there by themselves,

127
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 7: and so we invited them over and they turned. Rob

128
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 7: came over and we had a good old time.

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: And it's Rob's birthday, by the way, Happy birthday. Yeah,

130
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: Happy birth Rob. Yeah he's up there. You know he's

131
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: up there. He's good, he's doing good. I don't know

132
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: at this point, you don't keep keep counting that much.

133
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: But no, anyways, that was a nice gesture. Uh, and

134
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: just so awesome this this Cowboys storyline community and just

135
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: kind of what it's done. And to think that, you

136
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: know that my mom's having having Christmas Day with with

137
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: with one of the captains pretty often.

138
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, I thought she'd be carried off by my

139
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 7: crazy family, but she fit right in actually, And I

140
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 7: think you enjoyed it.

00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think doesn't everybody have a crazy family.

00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: You know?

00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 3: Forgot go ahead.

160
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally forgot about that play.

161
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: That was.

162
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 7: Oh man, that was not so anyway, I hate to

163
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 7: even talk about this because you know, you don't want

164
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 7: anybody to lose your job. But let's just scenario. If

165
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 7: it happened, why don't we go poach the number one

166
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 7: defense in the league, and which right now is the

167
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 7: Houston Texans I believe, but there's two, two or three

168
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 7: of them that are really really good because if if

169
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 7: you notice what Seattle did, that's exactly what they did.

170
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 7: They went and they got their Their head coach was

171
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 7: the coordinator of the Ravens, and you know, the Ravens

172
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 7: defense has always been great. Well one year in that

173
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 7: guy's got Seattle playing locked out, and I think instead

174
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 7: of us just going out and trying to find a

175
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 7: name or something, we need to find somebody that is proven.

176
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 7: You know, let's let's look at these top defensive teams

177
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 7: and if it can't if we can't get because I

178
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 7: think Houston, I believe the head coach kind of plays

179
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 7: there or calls their defense, so they should have a

180
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator by name that maybe isn't quite in charge

181
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 7: of it. So maybe we can touch him into coming

182
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 7: over to be our defensive coordinator and bring that stylid

183
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 7: defense to us.

184
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Still, that's still a lateral move though, and when you

185
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: do the title that way, you know what I mean,

186
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: that's still defensive coordinator to coordinator.

187
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 7: And you know it would it matter if he if

188
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 7: he was offered more money or is it or is

189
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 7: that like a rule thing.

190
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: It's a rule, It's definitely, it's definitely a rule from

191
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: a lateral move so that you know, you have these

192
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: guys like for instance, Clayton Adams is the offensive coordinator,

193
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: he couldn't go be the offensive coordinator, even if he

194
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: was a play caller. I don't think he could do that.

195
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of why titles matter. And also

196
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: you know with Houston, you know, they they they got

197
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: Will Anderson with the number two pick, and then they

198
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, then they traded and or or then they

199
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: picked up I think as a hunter. Uh there, So

200
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: they've got a couple of really good pass rushers. So

201
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: it's not just coordinator. I mean it's players as well.

202
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: And that's that's why thing. I think the Cowboys are

203
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: going to have to look at him. And if there

204
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: are some defensive you know, playmakers, you know maybe in

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: the draft, maybe you go get them. You'd have to

206
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: use your picks to go up there. But I mean,

207
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: if that's what what you know, that's what they feel

208
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: like is missing. But uh, and then.

209
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 7: Like last night's game, you know, the Eagles proved that

210
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 7: you don't have to have the best offense as long

211
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 7: as that defense is lives out. And that's what happened

212
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 7: last night. Their their defense shut out the Bills and

213
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 7: they won the game. So I think we could just

214
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 7: do a little tweaking on our offense, just try to

215
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 7: not mess it up by doing too many changes. Uh,

216
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 7: And we've all talked about the obvious things that we

217
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 7: need to do on offense. But yeah, we definitely need

218
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 7: to concentrate on defenses offseason for sure. Special teams. Yeah, yeah,

219
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 7: that wouldn't hurt. But yeah, yeah, So how would your holidays?

220
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: It was good? It was good. Yeah, it was good, Ranny, Thanks, thanks,

221
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: you know guy, We got back and thanks for the call. Ready.

222
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: We got back right after the game Christmas night, and

223
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't for me. We we just moved

224
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: everything to the next day. So kids are young enough

225
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: that you know, Santa you know, got into some traffic,

226
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: I guess, and I didn't didn't get here until the

227
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: next day, So we did it. Friday morning was just

228
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: like Christmas morning was great. So just a date on

229
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: the calendar. All good. Let's go to Derek in Minnesota. Derek,

230
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: what's up?

231
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 5: Morton?

232
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 8: Nick?

233
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 7: How are you doing good?

234
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: How are you?

235
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: Derek?

236
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 5: Oh?

237
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 9: I got to drive a cleared off so much atter

238
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 9: now nice?

239
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty five degrees here like a few days ago,

240
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: so yeah, we don't have that issue.

241
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 7: Must be nice.

242
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, listen, I'm I'm I'm a little bummed about

243
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 9: this season. But you know, I think I think I

244
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 9: think there's a couple of silver linings. I mean, I

245
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 9: mean Jimmy Johnson, I mean, he didn't win his for

246
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 9: a super Bowl until you know, you know, his fourth year,

247
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 9: so I mean you can't. I mean, I mean his

248
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 9: first year, you know, wasn't all sunshine and rainbows either. Yeah,

249
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 9: And I mean I think we got I mean I

250
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 9: think so long as we Key Pickens and Javonte, I mean,

251
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 9: as so long as you find a way to sign them,

252
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 9: and then we can get a new defensive coordinator that

253
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 9: actually knows what he's doing or something that might maybe

254
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 9: mesh as well. And I think we got a lot

255
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 9: of draft capital for you know that really stocked you

256
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 9: really get some pieces on defense. I think I think

257
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 9: we got some. Yeah, I think I think there's a

258
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 9: lot of positives going in the next year. It just

259
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 9: doesn't take away this thing of of everything this year.

260
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you're right, there are some there

261
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: are some pretty good pieces in place. But but you know,

262
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: defense is gonna have to be a huge priority. And

263
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure it starts with coordinator and and then from

264
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: from there, like making sure that the guys that are

265
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: here is gonna fit with whoever that that they're it in.

266
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's the key to every offseason. And but yeah,

267
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean on on offense, You've got some some interesting

268
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: uh decisions to make there as well, mainly on the

269
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: offensive line. But and then and then obviously resigning those

270
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: guys Davante Pickens is the franchise tag in place. You know,

271
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: there's there's questions there, but you know, I think Dak

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: had a really good year to come back, you know,

273
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: maybe comeback player of the Year. I think McCaffrey will

274
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: be have a say in that. And I don't know,

275
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: maybe people get cute and want to give, you know,

276
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: give it to Philip Rivers, but I would think, you know,

277
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak's Dak's year has been a good year

278
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: for for him. For a guy that missed ten games

279
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: and now has a chance to start every game, I

280
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: bet he does. I bet he does start the game.

281
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he finishes it, but I bet

282
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: he does start the game. It's hard to go with

283
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: the compete every day mantra if you're not going to

284
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: do that, but you don't have to play the whole

285
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: game at Milton, you know, especially going to give out

286
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: six sacks, you know, and get hit all day long.

287
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: You certainly don't want to do that. And the Giants

288
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: have the defensive players to to to bring that pressure.

289
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,239
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Kady and Henderson Nevada, Katie,

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: what's up?

291
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 8: Nick?

292
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: Are?

293
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: I am? Good?

294
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 10: Good?

295
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 8: So, with it being New Year's Resolution season, I was

296
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 8: curious what you think if the Cowboys could only pick

297
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 8: one New Year's resolution for twenty twenty six, what should

298
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 8: it be? And what do they have to do so

299
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 8: they actually keep their resolution tonight?

300
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: And I can I ask you what what would yours be?

301
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: Do you have a mind?

302
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 10: I mean, I really think we need to focus on

303
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 10: defens which I know is kind of vague, but I

304
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 10: think we need we need to get some some pass

305
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 10: rash and that that linebacker in. But I honestly think

306
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 10: that comes back to getting not to clote Jason Garrett here,

307
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 10: but get the right guys that's going so's the right

308
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 10: kind of guy. So I think we got to get

309
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 10: the right kind of guys, both on the staff and

310
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 10: on the field, of course, but I think, uh, I

311
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 10: think that needs to be the focus, is getting the

312
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 10: right the right guys to to make the defense work.

313
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: All right.

314
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, well that's not too vague. I appreciate that, Katie,

315
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: and and you know, they they've gone away from that.

316
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: You know, that was a nice little you know stick

317
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: that that Jason Garrett woul always say we need the

318
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: right kind of guy, and I they haven't always done that.

319
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not saying that they've they've taken bad

320
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: character players, but you know, in the last four or

321
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: five years, they've they've changed that a little bit. And

322
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: that I said it the other day. I think they

323
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: need to go back to that. They need to at

324
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: least get some guys in here that that have a

325
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: true love for football. And uh even if that does

326
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: mean you're sacrificing a little bit of the measurables and

327
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: things like that that everybody fall falls in love with

328
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: this time of year. But and that's hard to quantify that. See,

329
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: That's that's what makes the draft what it is. If

330
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: a guy runs a four to two seven, and he

331
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: runs a four two seven, you know, I mean is

332
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: what it is. And this guy runs four four to one,

333
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: so it's faster. But this guy benches forty six times.

334
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: This guy benches thirty six times. Well he's stronger. But

335
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: does he love football?

336
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: You know?

337
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: Does he does?

338
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 4: He?

339
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Is he going to spend hours upon hours on the

340
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: in the in the film room to try to get

341
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: better and understand his craft, understand his defense, understand what

342
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: he's doing and what his opponent's doing, things like that,

343
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: And that's always what's tough to figure out. But to

344
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: answer the question about the New Year's resolution and in

345
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: the world it to me it's a pass rush. Jervant,

346
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Jadavian Clowney should not Jadavion Clowney and James Houston should

347
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: not be tied for this for the lead in sacks

348
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: like that's that's not that doesn't it's not a good situation.

349
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: They they should be tied for third at five and

350
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: a half sacks. That that's kind of what you want.

351
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: You want to guy up here at twelve thirteen, You

352
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: want another guy at eight, and then you want these

353
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: other guys around five and a half. That's what you

354
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: had with Micah and then you had like Dorin Armstrong

355
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: in there maybe or Tank and then after that you

356
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: had the Foulers and or who's the last year I

357
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: can't even think his name from the from the Bengals

358
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: that you know he had five you know, he'd had

359
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: about five sacks as well, Lawson, so I'm thinking of

360
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: But you know, but for that to be your your lead,

361
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: your team lead at five and a half, that that

362
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: needs to be changed and they need they need to

363
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: fix that for sure. All right, let's go to break

Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys.

394
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to Cowboys storyline presented by Gelllette.

395
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: This is the time we do our Gellette Precision Player

396
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: of the Week. And how about Jadevian Clowney. He had

397
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: a he had a nice game. Haven't given it a

398
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: lot to the defensive players. I thought Clowney had had

399
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: a really good game. On his sack and a half,

400
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: he had about three tackles for loss. Even the chase

401
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: down on Deebo Samuel there, he didn't he didn't get them.

402
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: He kind of slowed him down. But just with him

403
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: there and that that was big because even though he

404
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: knocked the helmet off of Donovan Wilson and all that,

405
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: and then they still got him out of bounds, led

406
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: to a field goal there instead of a touchdown. But

407
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: the chase by Clowning doing it his age was good.

408
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: He hit it.

409
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: Hit a really nice game. Let's give it to somebody

410
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: on the defense from Gillette position player of the week.

411
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phone lines. We got

412
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas. Rob, what's up?

413
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, Nick? How's everything?

414
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?

415
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 5: I'm good? So piggyback, pick a back off what you

416
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 5: were saying. You know, there's a there's a guy that

417
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 5: wears silver and black. That checks all the boxes. He's

418
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 5: only twenty eight years old. His cap hit with the

419
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: thirty five one year and drops the twenty eight, and

420
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 5: you have the firepower to go get him. I would

421
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 5: definitely trade a first and I would throw an OSA

422
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 5: so I could get out from under that rrible contract. Uh,

423
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 5: you could resign Kenny Clark cheaper, and now you would

424
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 5: have Quinn Williams Clark and the man in silver and black.

425
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 5: And now I think you have a really good pass

426
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 5: rush defensive line and it helps your quarterbacks. Nothing helps

427
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 5: the quarterbacks better than a pass rush. I don't care

428
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 5: who you draft, who you get. So if if they

429
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 5: want to make this happen, and they want to make

430
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 5: a serious run, you know with Dak who has worked

431
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 5: a couple more years, then that's that's the guy you

432
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 5: gotta go. You gotta go get. You keep throwing in

433
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 5: the these couch potatoes. It ain't gonna it ain't gonna work.

434
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to invest serious money to fix it.

435
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 5: I don't care who the defensive coordinator is. If you

436
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: don't have players, no coach looks good. M okay, all right,

437
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: I mean, and even if they lose if they have

438
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 5: to lose pickings because of it, I would take that

439
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 5: all day. I've watched Dek have really good offenses without

440
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 5: two great wide receivers. Most quarterbacks don't have two great

441
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 5: wide receivers. Some don't have any. I watched Buffalo, they

442
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 5: have nobody at wide receiver. And but that guy is special.

443
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: If we consider Dek a special quarterback, he shouldn't need

444
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 5: those two great wide receivers. Now, don't get me wrong.

445
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 5: They can have them all. They can make it happen.

446
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: They can get everybody. They just are unwilling to do it.

447
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: But if I if there is a if I have

448
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 5: to choose between one, give me the silver and black guy.

449
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: Okay, I heard yeah, And I know, I know everybody

450
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: knows I think what you're talking about. And that's the

451
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: thing when you and I and I heard this actually

452
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: on when you you mentioned it this week, when y'all

453
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: do this storyline on spaces, and I heard a few

454
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: things Rob that you said about that not trying to

455
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: get the guy in in in in Vegas and so,

456
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't I wouldn't know, I wouldn't have an

457
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: opinion on that because I've kind of been brainwashed. I

458
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: think it's what you is, what you said, right, brainwashed

459
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: for me? Yeah so I heard.

460
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 5: That, Yes, well yeah, yeah, so I.

461
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: Asked Jerry what he thinks I should think about that.

462
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: But but no, I I I don't. I don't hate

463
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: the opinion. But then again, it doesn't matter, right Rob.

464
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 5: No, No, it's not that it doesn't matter. But you're

465
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 5: you're hamstrung. You can't say what I could say.

466
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Hamstrung is true. Brainwashed is different different terms.

467
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, not brainwashed. Let's be honest. You've

468
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 5: never seen them win a championship.

469
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: Of course, but but you've been there for a long time, right,

470
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: You're you're used to how they do business.

471
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 5: True.

472
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: True. But I'll say this, and and and just to

473
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 1: kind of let people know they they on the on

474
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: the Twitter spaces and that that they've created and it's great.

475
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: It's great community that that they they do. They talk

476
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: for hours on stuff and they kind of let it fly.

477
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: But no, somebody sent that to me, and I did

478
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: hear that to me, Rob, I'll tell you a little

479
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: disrespectful to think, after twenty seven years of covering the team,

480
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: that can't form my own opinions.

481
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 5: No, No, No, that's not what I that's not what

482
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 5: I meant. I didn't say you can't inform your own opinion. Okay,

483
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 5: you've just been beaten down for twenty seven.

484
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: Yet I get it, well, I I you know, I

485
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: it's it's fine, it's fine. And I'll say this though,

486
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: because would you know, you kind of mentioned a little

487
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: bit about the fact that, well, you know, if Jerry

488
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: thinks this, then then Knit thinks this. But I promised

489
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: you this, Rob, if Jerry, if Jerry was listening to

490
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: this show, he wouldn't make you the captain, you know

491
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like like, I love what you bring

492
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: to the table and all that, and so you know,

493
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to change that. It's fine. We're having

494
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: fun here. But I thought I thought that was a

495
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: little little too much to say, you know, brainwashed, like

496
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: I can't come up with my own thoughts here.

497
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 5: No, no, no, you come up with your own thoughts.

498
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 5: You just can't say you're right.

499
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: And I can't say I say And I appreciate that

500
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: you didn't say that either. When we refer to a

501
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: player that is in Vegas and everyone knows who we're

502
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: talking about, and I agree with you, Rob, I totally

503
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: agree with that. I would be fine. I don't need

504
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: another two first round picks. If one of them, if

505
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: I can get a player to come in here that

506
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: can rush the passer like that, I'm doing it. I'm

507
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: the first round picks are not untouchable for me. Especially.

508
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're not.

509
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 5: They're not as good as drafting as everybody wants to believe.

510
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 5: They are. As many hits they've had, They've had a

511
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 5: lot of misses.

512
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: Now, I'll say this, if you're going to move a contract,

513
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: I think I think Kenny Clark's contract might be one

514
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: that you have to move more than OSA. Uh And

515
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: Chris has helped me with a little bit on the

516
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: is the dead cap space for OSA?

517
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 5: I think it's five I think it's five million.

518
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: It might have to be that might have to be

519
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: a June one move. He's I don't think I would

520
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: do that with OSA. Kenny Clark maybe.

521
00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 7: No.

522
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 5: All I'm saying is, if I have to sweeten the

523
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 5: deal and I could get out, I don't need three

524
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 5: tackles making that kind of money. If I I know

525
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 5: I could.

526
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: If I.

527
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: Would you do as Aku even though young developing cass pressure, God, God, yes, Yeah, oh,

528
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean not just it's not one for one. But

529
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: I'm just saying no, like a.

530
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: First in him, first in Donovan. Oh yeah, probably have

531
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 5: to do that absolutely. But only reason why I say

532
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: OS is there's no way they're keeping Clark at this price.

533
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 5: So if I keep Osa, I let Clark walk. If

534
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 5: I get if I have to throw oser in the

535
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 5: deal to get it done, then I could restruct, you know,

536
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 5: re signed Clark at a much cheaper price. I think

537
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 5: Clark has been a little bit better than OSA. I

538
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: don't think OS has lived up to his contract.

539
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, but at the end, then again, the defensive

540
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: coordinator that comes in here has got to be a

541
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: new coordinator. I'm not tired of saying if there is one,

542
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, there has to be a new coordinator. When

543
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: that happens, I wanted that vision, that person's vision of

544
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: this is how we're gonna do this and this and

545
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: move this and this is what I need for you know,

546
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: so he might have a different vision of God, have

547
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: Kitty Clark have to you know what I mean? And

548
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, but I'd like to

549
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: like to hear it, and then that needs.

550
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: To serve they gonna want all the players they can get.

551
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, you know that that just can't happen. But

552
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: I don't know. I have to, like you said, I

553
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 5: have to assume they're going to move on from this guy.

554
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 5: I think there's too much heat. But the people talking

555
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 5: about bringing some of these dcs over, you can't, like

556
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 5: you said, unless you're making them assistant coach or even

557
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 5: that it's my head coaching job.

558
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: I think they changed that rule too for the assistant

559
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: head coach. I don't think that's one. All right, Rob,

560
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna move on, all right. Thanks, thanks for the call.

561
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Paul and Racine. What Wisconsin? Sorry Paul

562
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: and Racine, Wisconsin.

563
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, Nick, good to speak to you. Very Christmas.

564
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: And it's been a while.

565
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has been, but I'm always listening and so

566
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: and that last caller. It reminded me of the one

567
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 3: time on the previous show you on, the guy casually

568
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: said to you.

569
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: You're on the payroll, Yeah, and I am.

570
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: And you went yeah, but no. It was funny because

571
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: you're like, I've been very critical of this organization, and

572
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: I think you said something like they give you the

573
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: freedom to do that.

574
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: And I was going to say that, you know what, Paul,

575
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to say that too, And I'll have to

576
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: give Jerry credit for that. They allow us to do this,

577
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: They allow us to have a show like that. They

578
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: allow us to a platform to say I don't like

579
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: the micro Parson straight, you know, like like And I

580
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: said that right off the bat. I didn't like it.

581
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: Micae Parsons should have been here. They should have figured

582
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: it out. They should have been here. And guess what

583
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: he went there? He made a pro Bowl and you

584
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: don't have a pass rush. So I've said that I

585
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: get the ability to say that. Do I have to

586
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: be careful with the words, sure, just like we all do.

587
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: But well, I have more freedom to talk about this

588
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: team than others do. And I'll give Jerry credit for

589
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: that and giving us this platform to do that. But

590
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: to think that I don't have, I can't kind of

591
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: speak for myself, and I'm get told what the doer

592
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: say is is not the truth. But anyways, Paul, let's

593
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: move on you. What do you have? What's on your mind?

594
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 5: Well?

595
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: I said this on the post game show last week.

596
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: I said, you know, I want the pocus now to

597
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: shift away. I think we can all agree that iver

598
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: Pus is probably not going to be with the organization

599
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: next year. And the only thing I would say to

600
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: him is, you know, all the talk has done well.

601
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: He doesn't have the players. The guy right to Mike,

602
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 3: I agree, but at some point, and I've said this

603
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: all season, the rest of the defensive players are not

604
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: buying what he's selling. And sometimes as a coach, you

605
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: kind of have to solve a system, so they're not

606
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: responding to it, So he needs to be gone. I look,

607
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: you know, ninety miles to the Southey, and you look

608
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: at Nashan Wright, who was a cowboy right all of

609
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: a sudden, he goes to Chicago and whatever coaches have

610
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: him there, they've turned him into a pretty darn good player.

611
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: And I think that's what a good coach does, is

612
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: he gets these guys who might be marginally talented to

613
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: believe in themselves to become superstars. And that's why I

614
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: want to shift the focus away from all the talk

615
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: about Ebapus. It's got to be on Schottenheimer. I think,

616
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: as I said in the postgame show a couple of

617
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 3: weeks ago, the media in Dallas has to have a

618
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: laser focus on him because he has not proven to

619
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: me that he's the guy. He might have made some

620
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: culture changes, but like I said, I'll see that it

621
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: seems like he's the type of guy he's just weren't

622
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: happy to be there than to really just like turn

623
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: these guys into winners. And I think the focus has

624
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: to be on him. So I'll ask you, Nick, what

625
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: is one thing that you've seen Schottenheimer do at your

626
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 3: like and one thing that you think like it needs

627
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: to get better?

628
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, thanks for the Thanks for the call, Paul.

629
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: I'll start with the second part. Things that you know

630
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 1: that could be better is the end of the half

631
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: time management play calling a little bit there. There's been

632
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: times where that kind of looked like first year head coach,

633
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, and that that that was That's one thing

634
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: that I that I think that, you know, it's got

635
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: to be a little better. And also to kind of

636
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: piggyback on that, I would say just and we understand

637
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: why because of the defense was was so bad this year,

638
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: but but just just kind of having to play the

639
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: play calling with the offense and to basically try to

640
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: tech the team and protect the game based off the

641
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: fact that the defense can't score. And and you know,

642
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: they kicked a lot of field goals this year. I

643
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: don't know if they kicked enough, to be honest with you.

644
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there were times where you just had to

645
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: go for it all the time. And when they go

646
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: for it, it's great. They did it six times. You

647
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: don't make it, then you're like, why don't you kick

648
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: the field goals? So I get it. It's just having

649
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: to understand the team and and and the defense, and

650
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: and he had a hard time doing that because the defense.

651
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to. He's the type of guys.

652
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: He's a he's a good guy. He likes those players,

653
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: he likes those coaches. He wants to believe in them.

654
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: He trusts them. But you couldn't. You really couldn't trust him.

655
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: And and you know that that being said, I I like,

656
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: I like I like some of the behind the scenes

657
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: things that that he's done. From a culture standpoint, I

658
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: think that he's gotten. His offenses is really good. His

659
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: offense is play calling there, uh, for the most part,

660
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: was good. Now you know into half and all that.

661
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: You know, some red zone things, but I there was

662
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: there was a lot of plays we hadn't seen before.

663
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: You know, you really couldn't say it was a vanilla

664
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: type offense at all. And I thought, you know, what

665
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: he did with the offense was really good. I think

666
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: he needs a defensive coordinator that he really knows and

667
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: he understands everything that that that Chody wants and vice versa.

668
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: And when he turns his back to really focus on

669
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: the offense and talk to Dak on what happened on

670
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: that last series, he knows that his defensive coordinator is

671
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: doing what he would want. Two blitz is in a row,

672
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: no blitz at all, you know, put everyone back. Whatever

673
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: it is. He he needs to have that, and I

674
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: don't know if he had it this year. Let's go

675
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: to Sebastian and Savannah, Georgia. Good morning, I'm good. How

676
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: are you.

677
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 14: I'm doing well. I'll just done a little living room

678
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 14: seaming this morning. And I wanted to hop one real

679
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 14: quick brilliant points about Brian Schottenheimer. By the way, as

680
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 14: a first year coach. When I look at the other

681
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 14: first year coaches around the league, like Kellen Moore, so

682
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 14: on and so forth, Brian Schottenheimer is one of the

683
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 14: top marks. Kellen Calverley get the four wins. Brian got

684
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 14: the seven wins so far, but we're not gonna compare

685
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 14: out with the Orange.

686
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: Well, but be fair, let's let's go look at the Bears.

687
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: Let's look at the Patriots, right, I mean right, right, right.

688
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 14: But I was thinking he's one of the top he's

689
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 14: one of the top five brand new first time head

690
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 14: coaches this year. Now, as far as the George George

691
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 14: Pickens thing, and uh, we're in the offseason officially because

692
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 14: we're not we're not going to the playoffs. Right, it's

693
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 14: not a case of whether you can or can't sign George.

694
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 14: You shouldn't if your offense was the number one offense

695
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 14: and your defense was dead last. You should not have

696
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 14: the top quarterback, the top wide receiver, and another top

697
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 14: receiver on the same team. Just sit there and ask

698
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 14: Cincinnati's quarterback if he'd rather have Tee Higgins or if

699
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 14: he'd rather have an offensive lineman. I think we should

700
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 14: take the same approach that Jerry allegedly took with Michael Parsons,

701
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 14: where you said, you get three players for the price

702
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 14: of one, and instead of paying GP thirty five thirty

703
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 14: six million dollars, thirty million dollars whatever, the case is

704
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 14: you pay three defenders because we desperately need help at

705
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 14: three levels of defense. You know that eight to twelve

706
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 14: million dollars that he would have got per you know, quarter,

707
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 14: and I would give that to someone else because realistically,

708
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 14: we have to retool that defense no matter what defensive

709
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 14: coordinator we get in here. If he decides to bring

710
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 14: that guy back or if he decides to go with

711
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 14: someone else, it won't matter if there are no tools

712
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 14: in the shed for them to work with and we

713
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 14: roll out the same team next year. But I'll hang

714
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 14: up and listen, you guys, have a happy New year

715
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 14: and have a great day.

716
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, that's that's going to be the biggest

717
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: dilemma of the offseason. Thanks for the call, Sebastian. That

718
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: that's going to be the big question, right, And there's

719
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: always one, right, there's always a question that you that

720
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: you you know, have to to figure out, and that

721
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: that's what they're there. Their big dilemma is going to

722
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: be do they do they try to sign him and

723
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: or do they say, hey, let's build defense through the

724
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: draft and try to get better that way and hope

725
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: that you have a coordinator. I thought, I thought, what

726
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: Paul said, I kind of glossed over it to answer

727
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: the question, but you know, just it's just a good

728
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: way of saying it. They just didn't respond to him.

729
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: They just didn't some players. You know, is it the players?

730
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it the scheme? Is it the coach?

731
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: Is it the message that he was sending? Is this

732
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: an old message? Yeah, he was a good coordinator a

733
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: few years ago. The game changes, though, The game changes

734
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: so much. Look at look at the offenses now? How

735
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: many how many like hook and laterals did we see yesterday?

736
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: I saw two. I mean, I think it's it's a

737
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: brilliant play. I've thought about that play for years. I

738
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: loved that play, and I think it works now, especially

739
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: with how quick and how everybody swarms on defense. It

740
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: that that's a perfect play. I saw it twice in

741
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: yesterday's games, and you know, once once it worked really

742
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: well with Buffalo and then with chid Go it got

743
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: down to the end, and I don't know about you,

744
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: I think that was a great football game. You know,

745
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: when you don't have a dog in the fight and

746
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: you just kind of watch him and I don't care

747
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: about defense. I mean care about defense, but I'm just

748
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: saying that was a good football game of guys going

749
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth, and you know, it's

750
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 1: definitely fun to watch. But but to answer the question

751
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: about the pickings and the defense, I just don't think

752
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: Jerry will do it. I think Jerry let go of

753
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: a great player, and I don't think with Micah, and

754
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll do it here. And you know,

755
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: there's something to be said for making the move, you know,

756
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: making the trade and stealing him, you know, a third

757
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: round pick for a pro bowler. You know, that's basically

758
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: what happened. Let's see what the market looks like for

759
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: for for him and and and I think it'll What

760
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: I think they'll do is I think they'll franchise them.

761
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: And then if they do, you decide to trade him,

762
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: you'll get a little bit more value than you would

763
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: if you just let him go and get a comp

764
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: pick and all that. I think they're going to try

765
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: to do that and put the tag on him. All right,

766
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: let's go to Max in Dallas. Max, Here, here we go.

767
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 3: Up.

768
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: I like it. Just come in there with your own Yeah,

Speaker 15: Hey, long time listener, first time caller. Uh, I'm just

771
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 15: curious you know, I know that the Cowboys. That feels

772
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 15: like we have a plan to optimize the last years

773
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 15: of Dak here, which I think we should. You know,

774
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 15: I believe in Dak and I like to think that

775
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 15: he can take us there if we have the right

776
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 15: team around him. So I'm curious how does that affect

777
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 15: our team building and decisions we make over the short term,

778
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 15: you know, and how long? I guess do you think

779
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 15: that window is that we have left with Dak, Because

780
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 15: I don't want to get too far in the future,

781
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 15: but it seems like teams in the NF are really

782
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 15: taking advantage of rookie quarterback contracts and you can do

783
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 15: a lot with that, and I feel like when we

784
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 15: switched to Dak, we couldn't do that because of the

785
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 15: Romo situation. So I just really hope that, you know,

786
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 15: I want us to optimize our chance with Dak, but

787
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 15: I also want us to be really careful so that

788
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 15: we're in a great position for wherever we decide to

789
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 15: go next. And I'll hang up and list them.

790
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: Thanks the yeah thinks that's a that's a good question.

791
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: There are a good comment, you know, and I think

792
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: there are teams I don't think the Cowboys are one

793
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: of them, Jerry, I don't think. I don't think he's

794
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: on them. But there are teams that would be in

795
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: this same spot of a lot of you know, eight

796
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: and eight, ten and seven, twelve and five, you know what,

797
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: that whole area not not great, definitely not terrible, but

798
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: not at that, you know, not where you need to be.

799
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: And they have a quarterback in his now eleven the year,

800
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: and they have two first round picks and one of

801
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: them will be in the twenties. There are teams that

802
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: would consider a quarterback there, even with Dak, even with

803
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: Dak still coming back, consider a quarterback. Let them develop

804
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll see what happens. It's always that's always

805
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: tough to do because as the veteran quarterback here, like

806
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: why don't you give me some help once you give

807
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: me a you know, two defensive guys, or once you

808
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: give me a left tackle or you know, another lineman

809
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: and and you know, and and and help me get

810
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: better as opposed to drafting someone that have to look

811
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: over my shoulder. I don't think that'll happen, but I

812
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: think it's it would be a it would be a move,

813
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, to consider uh, maybe if they had a

814
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: second round pick. They don't. But but you're not wrong, Max,

815
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: and thinking that it's time at least you have to

816
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: start looking down the road a little bit. This team

817
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: has gotten fortunate with their quarterbacks the last two times,

818
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: undrafted in the fourth round, you know. And and to

819
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: think that they've gotten a decade or more out of

820
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: both of them. It's going to break one more time

821
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: on storyline and be right back at for this. All right,

Speaker 1: Let me let me. He's gonna email me and then

848
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: I'll let you know. But it'll be something like, Hey,

849
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: how's it going? How is your Christmas?

850
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 7: Dylan?

851
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: It'll be something like.

852
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 18: That, Dude, that was funny. I'm just good.

853
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: I was.

854
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 5: I have me rolling on the.

855
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 18: Floor and Rob great recovery by Rob on that one.

856
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 18: But yeah, I mean, we we try and keep a

857
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 18: civil in there to an extent, but we do let

858
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 18: it rip. But it's all recorded, so you know, we

859
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 18: gotta be a little careful by what we're doing in there,

860
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 18: for sure.

861
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fine, you know what I mean, Like like,

862
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: I love the fact that y'all do it and you have,

863
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, a show. But but to to say that,

864
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: and again this was me and Rob talking back and forth,

865
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: it's fine to say that. It's it's it is one

866
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: thing to say, Yeah, I can't say a lot, I

867
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, I can't mention certain players or whatever. But

868
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: I feel like I have enough free reign to say,

869
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, my my opinion on stuff, and I feel

870
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: like I do that. But you know, it's it's all good.

871
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: It's all yeah.

872
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 18: You know, you know, we all respect you and Stephan,

873
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 18: Rob respect you and all that. Rob says things sometimes

874
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 18: he's got you know, he talks fast and talks a lot,

875
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 18: so sometimes he says things that he might not really

876
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 18: mean in that way.

877
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: But I said this, that's why the captains are who

878
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: they are, you know what I mean, because they're all

879
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: you guys are all a little different, uh, you and

880
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: Irene and and like, let's not Irene kind of started

881
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: that whole conversation. It was about Jordan Lewis. Let's not,

882
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: let's not you know, you know immediately, you know, leave

883
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: her out of the out of the out of the mixture.

884
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: But but the the captains are the captain. They all

885
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: provide something that very unique and very important to shows

886
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: like this. And so with you and and and of

887
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: course Rob, Irene, Randy you know, those those my four

888
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: captains for all storyline last year, and you all provide

889
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: something different to the table. So U and I wouldn't.

890
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: I wouldn't change that and don't want to.

891
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 5: Change that, no doubt.

892
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 18: I mean, we all, we all appreciate you on Kris Noll.

893
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 4: And as far as what Rob.

894
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 18: Was saying just now on the call with the trades

895
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 18: and and all that, you know, I'm down for something similar.

896
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 18: I'd hate to you know, Ohio State has some really

897
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 18: good players coming out defensively, and those are guys that

898
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 18: I kind of want to key on. And so I'd

899
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 18: hate to get into a spot where you can have

900
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 18: a young guy for five years who was really, really,

901
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 18: really good, but shoot at a trade of my pickaway,

902
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 18: and you know, you're kind of mortgage in the future

903
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 18: if you trade that away. I'm not I'm not against it,

904
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 18: but at some point, you know, the next couple of

905
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 18: drafts are really kind of jacked up as far as

906
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 18: your picks go in the middle rounds. So you know,

907
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 18: the more higher end expensive talent you get, you're not

908
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 18: going to have those younger guy to offset those big contracts.

909
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 18: And then when it all hits, it's gonna hurt really bad.

910
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 18: But if you get a championship out of it, okay,

911
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 18: that's fine, but you know it's not guaranteed. But if

912
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 18: you want to go all in and risk at all,

913
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 18: it's fine. Something different. So I'm down for that too.

914
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 18: And I like what Rob was saying there.

915
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'd like it. But you're you're right. I

916
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: mean it comes with a risk. I mean there are

917
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: teams that have done it that haven't won. There's teams

918
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 1: that have done it. Eagles did it, Philly. I mean,

919
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: the Rams did it and they won. There's other teams

920
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: that have kind of tried to do it and you

921
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: don't win, you know, and then it kind of screws you.

922
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 18: And it's not just like you have a bad cat

923
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 18: situation for one year, because that one year of bad

924
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 18: cat situation means you lose players that you would have

925
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 18: had for the next three or four five years, three

926
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 18: or four years potentially, So it's a it's a risk.

927
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 18: But at this point, you know, I've never seen the

928
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 18: super Bowl, so I'm down to do whatever. The hell, man,

929
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 18: just do something fun. Yeah, So still I got the

930
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 18: brother appreciate I cacitulator.

931
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: All right, Jones, have a good one. Let's go quickly

932
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: Josh and Chicago. Josh, what's up, man? Josh? You there?

933
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm here, Sorry about that.

934
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: No, all good? How are you doing good?

935
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 6: How are you good?

936
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 8: So?

937
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 6: Actually two things. I am a I'm a little bit

938
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 6: upset because when you look at how the NFL everything

939
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 6: shook out, if we had taken care of business, there's

940
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 6: a chance that this is a playoff team. It's kind

941
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 6: of upsetting, you know, but it is what it is, right,

942
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 6: We got to take care of our own business first. Yeah,

943
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 6: and who knows, the butterfly flaps its wings and maybe

944
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 6: Green Bay plays better, Mike doesn't get hurt.

945
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: Who knows?

946
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: Right, right, Yeah, there's two or three games you can

947
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: kind of go back on and say, oh man, you

948
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: know that that could have been different. But yeah, if

949
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: you do that, you got to make sure that you

950
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: throw in your two or three games.

951
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 6: That it looked like that we were going to lose.

952
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 6: I mean the Giants in the Giants game.

953
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Eagles Eagles at home as well, Chiefs

954
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: had you had a good chance to lose that one too,

955
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: So it usually evens itself out. The Cardinals game.

956
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 6: I just can't explain you just given the Panthers, the

957
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 6: Cardinals and the Panthers you just look back on, You're

958
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 6: just like, oh my god, or even the Packers, right,

959
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 6: like the Packers, it's like we taught like that's the

960
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 6: one that you look back on. But the reason I

961
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 6: call them I just want to bring up and I

962
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 6: know it's a little early, you know it's not March yet,

963
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 6: but free agency wise, I know we really all want

964
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 6: to keep Jeep and uh and I really want to

965
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 6: keep Javonte too. But when you look at the free

966
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 6: agents out there, there's a lot of running backs, wide receivers,

967
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 6: safeties and cornerbacks. There's really like one playmaking defensive end

968
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 6: who's going to be available and he might a franchise, right,

969
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 6: So when when you look at the money, it's got

970
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 6: to be right if we're keeping Javonte or Pickings, it

971
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 6: just has to be right because there's other people. There's

972
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 6: other places that we're gonna have to spend big on,

973
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 6: like the end, and there's not a big market like

974
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 6: there are for receiver, running back or quarterback. Even so

975
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 6: that's the only point I want to make Kevin great.

976
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: Day, all right, appreciate it, Thank you, Josh, you know,

977
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: and to Rob's point from earlier in the show about

978
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: you know this, this offense can be good without two

979
00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: star wide receivers, you know, but I would think you

980
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, that would be a position you would draft

981
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: if you don't have. But again, I think they're gonna

982
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 1: franchise George, and if they don't, if they entertain a trade,

983
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: then with a first round pick or two first rounds

984
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: or maybe a first in a second, you know, you

985
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: can negotiate that that trade, then then you would draft

986
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, you know, probably in that in that

987
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: mix there too, So a lot of options, a lot

988
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: of options there. They're gonna have some tough decisions to make,

989
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, because it's not just a slam

990
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: dunk to re sign you know, a running especially when

991
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: you think about every year there's been you know, Pollard

992
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: had a thousand yards and now you Rico Dawn had

993
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: a thousand yards, and now Davante has had maybe eleven

994
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: hundred almost twelve hundred yards, a lot of touchdowns, you know,

995
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe maybe it's not needed to keep

996
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: keep them the same running back in there. But you know,

997
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: I know Dak loves having Javonte in there, not just

998
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: as a runner but also blitz pick up. And it's

999
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: just the toughness there. So it's got to make sense.

1000
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: Like you said, Josh had a really good point there.

1001
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: It's got to make sense. But a lot of decisions

1002
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: to make, all right. We'll see what the decisions the

1003
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys make this week. We didn't really talk much about

1004
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: the Giants game. That's fine. We'll have a couple more

1005
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: shows to do that this week. Good stuff for everybody,

1006
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: all right. For Chris be I'm Nick Eatman. See you

1007
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: next time on Cowboys Storyline.
