Speaker 6: Are you ready for something football? How sweet as that?
Speaker 7: Let's go love those horns?
Speaker 8: Yes, you know they're they're the uh you know it's
Speaker 8: the average white band horns.
Speaker 2: I guess great horns. Great horns instead.
Speaker 3: A throwback to the Commodoores.
Speaker 8: Oh they're after commodoors, but they can't okay, slay their
Speaker 8: fucking music by uh huh.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they had horns, an average white band or something.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they had horns. They had horns. They
Speaker 8: were known for the horns.
Speaker 3: Well, here we are, it's a Monday. A schedule releases
Speaker 3: on Wednesday night. We've got football players on the football
Speaker 3: field as a off season program continues here, and we
Speaker 3: know it's the Cowboys and the Eagles on Wednesday night
Speaker 3: or Thursday night, September fourth. Man, that should be on
Speaker 3: the first game, the first game.
Speaker 7: The first Yes, be on the video boards, just says Eagles. Right,
Speaker 7: what else do you need to get jacked up? On
Speaker 7: May twelfth?
Speaker 3: May twelfth, it's going to be there.
Speaker 7: No, no, no Super Bowl champions right right?
Speaker 2: What was that thinking? All right? So I got.
Speaker 3: Well, I got a thought. Right, so you know the Eagles,
Speaker 3: they they're rubbing their hands together, they unveil their banner
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys coming in there. Sure, so I've got
Speaker 3: an idea even more Wait wait wait, wait, wait wait
Speaker 3: he's I've got an idea.
Speaker 2: What's the idea.
Speaker 3: It's got a little uniform adjustment here where one.
Speaker 7: Of your nineteen ninety five uniform.
Speaker 3: Five five world champion patches go on the uniform or
Speaker 3: the opener against the Eagles.
Speaker 8: That would be a gaudy uniform stuff all over the place,
Speaker 8: see the numbers.
Speaker 7: And somehow and somehow you got to get Drew Pearson involved.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, it'd be good.
Speaker 2: We'd have to give him curnity if he goes to
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 7: Which, by the way, he is, I'm gonna see him
Speaker 7: on Saturday. He's the guest at the East East Dallas
Speaker 7: Exchange Club. Yeah, they do their fundraiser Saturday and he's
Speaker 7: the special guest. Nice, so I might have to poke
Speaker 7: him a little bit.
Speaker 8: I couldn't make it too. They had a little lunch
Speaker 8: and sometimes the guys get together. Yeah, and on Friday
Speaker 8: they had a nice little lunch. I don't know where
Speaker 8: they went, but yeah, they they had a good time
Speaker 8: because I had the follow the text thread and they
Speaker 8: were still continuing the conversation that they had while eating
Speaker 8: on the text thread.
Speaker 2: So it was almost like.
Speaker 7: Brad usually does the interview with the guy. So I'm
Speaker 7: sure that he'll poke the bear. Uh. But yeah, I
Speaker 7: think I think Brian Schottenheimer should be celebrating that they
Speaker 7: get to do this. Yes and all, He's got to
Speaker 7: tell them Eagles as those players walk out onto this
Speaker 7: field today, Yes, off seasons are the Eagles on their
Speaker 7: mind as they continue there. They should be on their
Speaker 7: mind every day between now and the end of training camp.
Speaker 8: Let's not give them too much credit now, I mean,
Speaker 8: we get just the Eagles.
Speaker 2: We're done but we too.
Speaker 7: You got to play again.
Speaker 2: We've got to play another game.
Speaker 7: When you got the commanders come in, we got.
Speaker 2: Stuff to do.
Speaker 7: Man. Well, so here's the sober thought. You remember the
Speaker 7: last time the Cowboys opened the season against the Eagles,
Speaker 7: it was Dave Campo's coach you head coaching debut in
Speaker 7: two thousand.
Speaker 2: Was that the pickle juice? Yes, it was.
Speaker 7: It was like one hundred degrees at Texas Stadium.
Speaker 2: And they handled the heat way better than.
Speaker 7: We because because they drank pickle juice, they didn't cramp up?
Speaker 2: Did we didn't?
Speaker 8: You know, our modern methods didn't help us because everyone
Speaker 8: else was hot.
Speaker 2: We don't have any pickle juice. Oh well, damn, the
Speaker 2: game is over.
Speaker 3: That seemed like we've never played in heat before.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, bottom line on pickle juice, it does work.
Speaker 2: It does work.
Speaker 7: So I did it during a bike ride and I
Speaker 7: cramped up, and I got to the stop and they
Speaker 7: had pickle juice there, and I drank it and my
Speaker 7: cramps cleared up.
Speaker 2: And there's a reason they had picklej is there. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they just happened to.
Speaker 8: Be there, like somebody was just having hot dogs and hamburgers.
Speaker 8: And oh, listen, pickle juice left. No, it was brought
Speaker 8: there for the heat.
Speaker 7: They said, do you want water? I go, No, I
Speaker 7: need pickled juice.
Speaker 3: For those of you who are long time listeners of
Speaker 3: Mixed Shots and listening to Mickey Spagnola, it usually always
Speaker 3: comes back to a bike ride for him.
Speaker 8: Well, he has to show you some way that he's
Speaker 8: somewhat of an athlete. You just covering athletes.
Speaker 7: A few too many times.
Speaker 3: You can't mention an Achilles injury without no worry about I.
Speaker 7: Know about Achilles. So the Cowboys.
Speaker 8: I can hear the Achilles story anytime we bring up Achilles.
Speaker 7: The Cowboys on September third got beat by Philadelphia forty one.
Speaker 3: Fourteen September third, two thousand, Yes, almost twenty five years
Speaker 3: to the day later.
Speaker 7: That's right. Was that Andy Reid's first game as their
Speaker 7: head coach. I think it might have been about when
Speaker 7: he We're going to look that up for you, keep talking,
Speaker 7: when he when he started. Now they've they've played. This
Speaker 7: will be their second Thursday season opener.
Speaker 3: No, it was not what do you mean, No, it's
Speaker 3: not his Philadelphia nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 7: Okay, I was off, so he was. He was a
Speaker 7: veteran coach by one year with the Eagles.
Speaker 8: So when they do come in here, are they going
Speaker 8: to bring up when we go there, are they going
Speaker 8: to bring the tush push?
Speaker 3: Well, that's the other thing we're about to get about.
Speaker 3: The resolution on that coming up here in the next week.
Speaker 7: Right because the meetings they're probably going to vote on it, and.
Speaker 2: The meetings of this week.
Speaker 7: I believe it's either this week or next Ala.
Speaker 3: Say it's twenty May twenty something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're they're supposed to do.
Speaker 3: The Eagles are still going to be good on quarterback
Speaker 3: sneaks even if you get rid of the toush push.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Absolutely.
Speaker 8: My thing is, why complain about the tush push? Why
Speaker 8: don't you just do yourn? Why doesn't everyone adapt it?
Speaker 8: I don't understand it's it's it's.
Speaker 7: Well, they don't have to outlaw the tush push. They
Speaker 7: need to outlaw pushing in general. Like when the ball's
Speaker 7: five yards downfield and then here comes all the offensive
Speaker 7: linemen shoving that that's ridiculous. That's what they need, not
Speaker 7: the tush push. That bs. This ain't Australian rules football,
Speaker 7: rugby or rugby either.
Speaker 2: One rugby.
Speaker 7: I like, so anyway we know that.
Speaker 2: Now we.
Speaker 7: What what would be the big thing we need?
Speaker 2: Oh? I know what it is? Yeah, I'm sure you do.
Speaker 7: The Jets have to play host to the Cowboys and
Speaker 7: they have a game in London scheduled. Okay, so could
Speaker 7: the Cowboys be their opponent? Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, now okay, let's see, so you're speculating. I just
Speaker 3: just be playing in London against the Jets. They have
Speaker 3: what we preview.
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure if they were going to London this season,
Speaker 8: we'd already know about it right now, because they haven't.
Speaker 7: They haven't ann they announced who's hosting.
Speaker 3: Now they are announcing before the Wednesday night release and
Speaker 3: one of the either tomorrow morning or the next morning.
Speaker 3: They are announcing all of the international international games. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so we would would know that that prior to Wednesday.
Speaker 7: That might be too much if they get both right,
Speaker 7: you'll have a seat on the plane, right, yeah, big time?
Speaker 3: What about you will the UH to London?
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's gonna k I.
Speaker 3: Would probably be going to pull right. I didn't go
Speaker 3: the last time they played in London. And I don't
Speaker 3: want to talk about London much because it's probably not
Speaker 3: gonna happen. I don't want to give the impression that
Speaker 3: I just threw it.
Speaker 2: Out there, right, Okay, you had me going, Yeah.
Speaker 3: The issue is now, how to the Jets and filling
Speaker 3: up their stadium for home games? Mm hmm with what
Speaker 3: they've got this year on their team.
Speaker 7: It's New York.
Speaker 3: I mean, do they have an issue for fall? You
Speaker 3: don't want to play? You don't want to give up
Speaker 3: a home game against the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I think the Jet fans come there just to boo
Speaker 8: the Jets. That's the way it seems, even fill it
Speaker 8: up with just Jet fans.
Speaker 2: Mad.
Speaker 7: You know, it's New York and they have an advantage
Speaker 7: flying over there because they're three hours closer. You got
Speaker 7: to think about it. We'll spot three hour flight to
Speaker 7: New York, isn't it too?
Speaker 8: But would they if you fly from there, you go
Speaker 8: up to New York and then to London you go
Speaker 8: over you know?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Do you do you happen to have We're going to
Speaker 3: complete our little schedule preview right here in this segment. Okay,
Speaker 3: So we aren't going to attack it any further because
Speaker 3: we got much bigger things.
Speaker 7: Well, look about, let me throw this out Okay, So
Speaker 7: the Eagles swept the Cowboys last year, and so the
Speaker 7: last time they beat the Cowboys in three straight games
Speaker 7: was the end of the two thousand and three season.
Speaker 7: In both games in two thousand and four, with Vinnie
Speaker 7: testa Verdi and quarterback, they won three straight thirty six, ten,
Speaker 7: forty nine, twenty one and twelve seven.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought you were going to go back to
Speaker 2: the eighties.
Speaker 7: No, there's there's eighty eight, eighty nine in ninety involved
Speaker 7: there where the streak's probably maybe even longer. But that's
Speaker 7: the last time they lost three straight to the Eagles.
Speaker 3: Okay, As where we complete our little schedule preview segment here,
Speaker 3: I think we need to review who the Cowboys are
Speaker 3: playing at home and who they are playing on the
Speaker 3: road this year, just to give you to so you
Speaker 3: can visualize what's going to be announced.
Speaker 7: And with Bill heading into that, I saw where the
Speaker 7: Eagles have to play eleven games against twenty twenty four
Speaker 7: playoff teams game so first place schedule of course, have
Speaker 7: at it.
Speaker 3: Ok Cowboys of course with a third place schedule this year.
Speaker 3: All right, aside from the NFC East opponents, the home
Speaker 3: games for the Cowboys and this year, You've got three
Speaker 3: six eight home games, so you play one more road
Speaker 3: game with a seventeen game schedule this year, which means
Speaker 3: you'll have two home preseason games. Okay, aside from the
Speaker 3: three NFC East rivals, the Cowboys will be hosting the Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings,
Speaker 3: and Cardinals. That's a rather salty home schedule.
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 3: Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings and Cardinals. If you break that
Speaker 3: down into quarterbacks, it's Jordan Love, Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert,
Speaker 3: J J. McCarthy, and Kyler Murray. Okay, road games aside
Speaker 3: from the NFC East at Caleb Williams and the Bears
Speaker 3: at bow Nicks, and the Broncos at Jared Goff and
Speaker 3: the Lions at Geno Smith, and the Raiders at Justin Fields,
Speaker 3: and the Jets, you think at Rice Young and the
Speaker 3: Panthers Carolina again, yes, Carolina again. So the Cowboys are
Speaker 3: and the NFC East is playing the AFC West as
Speaker 3: well as the NFC North.
Speaker 7: This year, so they got to go to Vegas.
Speaker 3: That's right on to Vegas, and so by virtue of
Speaker 3: the third place schedule, the three games that the Cowboys
Speaker 3: have that are wild card games that aren't that what
Speaker 3: everyone else is playing in the division. It's the Cardinals
Speaker 3: at home, it's the Jets and the Panthers on the road.
Speaker 3: That's what you get from being a third place steam
Speaker 3: rather than a first place team. Cardinals at home, Jets
Speaker 3: and Panthers on the road. That's an advantage there.
Speaker 7: So that means the Eagles have to play first place
Speaker 7: team in the got the Mill West right, I was
Speaker 7: going back, Okay, sorry, and then they've got so they
Speaker 7: got the.
Speaker 3: Rams, the Rams and the so the Rams was the
Speaker 3: NFC West right, right, and then they've got the Bills
Speaker 3: from the AFC East right.
Speaker 7: No, you never said Buffalo.
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying for the Eagles.
Speaker 7: Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, And.
Speaker 3: Then Tampa Bay won the NFC South right.
Speaker 7: Which Tampa Bay is the last time the Cowboys opened
Speaker 7: the season on Thursday, they played the Bucks when they
Speaker 7: were Super Bowl champs, and before that it would have
Speaker 7: been a Thursday they were playing the Giants, but the
Speaker 7: Democratic National Convention was on Thursday, so they moved that
Speaker 7: opener to Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Did we win that in Tampa No?
Speaker 7: No, thirty one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they won.
Speaker 7: The uh so, oh this was before your time? They ope,
Speaker 7: nothing was before our time.
Speaker 2: They opened not much be for five hours.
Speaker 7: They had openers against Philadelphia previously, not only two thousand
Speaker 7: and seventy six, seventy two.
Speaker 3: They opened before ever since time as a cowboy, not
Speaker 3: before time as a human.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he might have been peeking over the fence at that.
Speaker 8: Time, probably was peaking right over the standing on the hood.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So there's your history.
Speaker 3: Okay, very good, and there is your schedule release preview.
Speaker 3: Oh I got one other note on that Cowboys on
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving will be that game is this year being televised
Speaker 3: on CBS, no.
Speaker 7: Way, seriously, and they they flipped that's.
Speaker 3: Right, CBS to Fox, which give team. But traditionally, you know,
Speaker 3: CBS has been the AFC, and so you would think
Speaker 3: if they follow tradition, it would be the Chiefs or
Speaker 3: the Chargers at the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. But they pretty
Speaker 3: much thrown that out the window. In many respects. It's
Speaker 3: still you get more AFC for the CBS, But as
Speaker 3: far as Thanksgiving is concerned, we'll see. I would think
Speaker 3: so if you're the network or the NFL and you're deciding, okay,
Speaker 3: Chiefs at Cowboys or Chargers at Cowboys. If those are
Speaker 3: your two choices on Thanksgiving Day, which would.
Speaker 2: It be Chiefs?
Speaker 3: It would be except I would think that a network
Speaker 3: might want that Chiefs Cowboys game for a Sunday night
Speaker 3: game NBC or a Monday night game. And so that's
Speaker 3: why I think if it is an AFC team, I
Speaker 3: think it.
Speaker 2: Might be better than no Sunday Night.
Speaker 3: It depends on the pecking order. Here's the deal you've got.
Speaker 3: It's basically a pecking order where the networks they've got
Speaker 3: their priorities on Okay, I want that game or I
Speaker 3: want that game whatever, and so a network might say,
Speaker 3: NBC might say, you know what, I want Kansas City
Speaker 3: and Dallas, and so they put that not higher up
Speaker 3: on the pecking order, not on which that would not
Speaker 3: be on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: I would rather have it.
Speaker 3: Well, but one of the things, like for CBS, is
Speaker 3: you're going to get your ratings anyway anyway on Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: and so, and the NFL has to look at that too,
Speaker 3: and so, and it's not a bad game the Chargers, and.
Speaker 7: That's why it might be Minnesota.
Speaker 3: And so it could be an NFC team. But anyway,
Speaker 3: just throw that out.
Speaker 7: But from a historical standpoint, Cowboy Chiefs on Thanksgiving means
Speaker 7: the old tech Dallas Texans, Yes, of course.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean if that doesn't have a Thanksgiving field, you.
Speaker 3: Can't go you know, you're really on the whether it's
Speaker 3: the NFC Steams or I mean you look at that
Speaker 3: home skout.
Speaker 7: You can't, you can't, you can't go wrong with and
Speaker 7: they could play up the Preston Road Trophy to playing
Speaker 7: the Chiefs. Really yeah, because the Hunts live down the
Speaker 7: street from.
Speaker 3: All Right, So there is your schedule release preview. Now
Speaker 3: we get next segment. We get to the big store
Speaker 3: in the past week, and that would be no longer
Speaker 3: slim picking see wide receiver for the Cowboys. Who would

Speaker 3: All right, time to dive into the week that was
Speaker 3: here at the Star in Frasco. We're gonna steer Mickey
Speaker 3: away from the ACM Awards because he's got stories to
Speaker 3: tell about that. We're gonna get to the big story of.
Speaker 7: The last or the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we made it feel a whole segment without
Speaker 3: Mickey talking about the Stars.
Speaker 7: Hey, Tyler Booker was there.
Speaker 2: Yes, he was.
Speaker 3: Wait to see that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, in uniform, waving of tall he's smart in me.
Speaker 2: I like him.
Speaker 7: He already endeared himself to every hand in Dallas.
Speaker 3: You know he's if he had in a Stars sweater,
Speaker 3: it's what he was.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he was city in uniform.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, uh, Producer supreme always keeping you on guard there,
Speaker 3: what's that?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: I didn't think you have to point that out. That
Speaker 2: was not that wasn't nice of you.
Speaker 7: Let me thank you the moment because I was there,
Speaker 7: by the way, I seen it.
Speaker 3: All right, Go, have you seen George Pickens here at
Speaker 3: the Star in Frisco yet? No?
Speaker 7: Because I didn't realize he was in the PR offices
Speaker 7: when he did his conference call, and I was sitting
Speaker 7: at my desk listening to it. I didn't realize he
Speaker 7: was right next door. Oh yeah, he was right next
Speaker 7: door to me.
Speaker 2: And you're a.
Speaker 3: Reporter, you said, yes, Okay, you say your reporter.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 3: They were talking about having a press conference, but I
Speaker 3: think with the ACM Awards.
Speaker 7: That night, it's going to make it difficult and different
Speaker 7: for people to get here in park. Yea, lady, it's.
Speaker 3: The biggest issue parking. Okay, So listening to us, that's right,
Speaker 3: Because if you listened to us last week, and we
Speaker 3: were on Tuesday last week, we were lamenting the fact
Speaker 3: that this team needed to make a move for a
Speaker 3: wide receiver too in the worst kind of way, and
Speaker 3: within twenty four hours they did that. Yeah, but was
Speaker 3: it in the worst kind of way?
Speaker 8: It was in the worst kind of way. I know
Speaker 8: for me, it was if I recalled last week that
Speaker 8: this I just knew that this was not the group
Speaker 8: that we can go with.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 8: We were trying to figure out ways, uh to finagle
Speaker 8: our roster to where we could put the running back
Speaker 8: out there, put Blue out there right, put them on
Speaker 8: the slot at least that was my suggestion using them wove.
Speaker 8: Now we're looking at a lot of different things we
Speaker 8: can do. We're looking at a lot of different things
Speaker 8: we can do running back, wide receiver combos, tight end
Speaker 8: running back combos. We're talking about confusing a lot of
Speaker 8: defenses out there and put a lot of fear into
Speaker 8: some DV.
Speaker 7: One thing we didn't point out. And I'm sure it
Speaker 7: was in the back of their mind. What in the
Speaker 7: world if they had done nothing? What if CD got hurt? Yeah,
Speaker 7: who's your.
Speaker 3: I think that was probably in the front of their mind,
Speaker 3: not the back of their mind.
Speaker 2: Well, and I didn't even think that. I just I
Speaker 2: didn't need we needed more.
Speaker 3: I think you always should. You always have to look
Speaker 3: at every position that way. What if that guy gets hurt?
Speaker 3: Then you listen to Bill Parcell's press conferences, he would
Speaker 3: say that all the time.
Speaker 8: I must admit, I never think that way, And you're right,
Speaker 8: you should think that way. And I never thought that way,
Speaker 8: but you should, I agree with.
Speaker 3: That's the number one thing is you're putting a roster together.
Speaker 3: It's okay, what if I lose that guy?
Speaker 7: And then what so your thoughts on pickings?
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 8: I love the talent, no doubt about it. And I think,
Speaker 8: you know, this is pretty predictable of what I'm going
Speaker 8: to say. I saw last year the first At that time,
Speaker 8: I saw the first chink in his armor. He seemed
Speaker 8: to have a bad attitude, and I think at the
Speaker 8: time things were going pretty well in Pittsburgh when he
Speaker 8: started to have these issues with either the team or
Speaker 8: with the media. And I recall one incident where he
Speaker 8: was sitting in the weight room and he wouldn't do interviews,
Speaker 8: but he was just sitting in there by himself. I
Speaker 8: don't know what had happened at that time. Did he
Speaker 8: and Russell Wilson get into it. I have no idea
Speaker 8: what that was all about. I'm hoping whatever it was,
Speaker 8: that it's over. But at that time he had an
Speaker 8: attitude issue, and if I'm not mistaken, that has a
Speaker 8: lot to do with why Pittsburgh was able to put
Speaker 8: him in the rearview mirror gladly. So whatever whatever was happening,
Speaker 8: then there don't bring that here. You know, Let this
Speaker 8: be you opportunity for a fresh start. You know, it
Speaker 8: helped me moving from Dallas to New York. Everything the
Speaker 8: narrative on me changed when I went to New York.
Speaker 8: Let's let that happened for him here, because he's stepping
Speaker 8: into a good situation to where you still got damn
Speaker 8: good quarterback here. You've got a brand new start with
Speaker 8: this entire team, a new coaching staff, all of that
Speaker 8: is going on right now.
Speaker 2: You can be a part of that resurgence here at
Speaker 2: the start. Let's hope that's how he looks at this.
Speaker 7: How but from a talent standpoint.
Speaker 8: Talent standpoint, you can't beat it. I wouldn't say that
Speaker 8: he's better than CD, but I would say he's damn good,
Speaker 8: and I would say he'd be probably the best number
Speaker 8: two receiver you can have in the NFL.
Speaker 7: Did you look into your big Green?
Speaker 3: So a choice of him or Amari Cooper? Was that
Speaker 3: kind of what the choice came down to, probably because
Speaker 3: a Cooper was the guy in free agency that would
Speaker 3: be available.
Speaker 2: But I think they're going with youth here.
Speaker 7: The price was twenty eight versus thirty thirty one, probably
Speaker 7: forty one or three two, and the cap hit.
Speaker 3: Twenty eight? Where are you getting twenty eight?
Speaker 7: Who did I sit twenty eight?
Speaker 3: You said twenty eight versus twenty four? Twenty four. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean you're talking eight year difference probably and well
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 7: And you're probably talking eight million dollars different too, because
Speaker 7: miners standing.
Speaker 3: For this one season. But you are paying the price
Speaker 3: of a third round draft.
Speaker 7: So what's the price of a third and a fifth?
Speaker 7: You get a six back. Hey, here's a guy on
Speaker 7: a one year deal. You know how you get your
Speaker 7: third round draft pick back?
Speaker 3: Compensatory if you know, No, you get your third round
Speaker 3: draft pick back, just like the Cowboys have done in
Speaker 3: the draft just last year. In the draft where you
Speaker 3: trade down five spots in the first round, you pick
Speaker 3: up a third round pick. That's how you get the
Speaker 3: third round or back. So people talk about the third round. Oh,
Speaker 3: give me up a third round pick. That's a high
Speaker 3: price to pay. No, it's your move back five spots.
Speaker 3: I mean, let's say you have a decent year and
Speaker 3: you got the twenty fourth pick, just like two years ago,
Speaker 3: you had a twelve win season. Of the twenty fourth pick,
Speaker 3: you moved down to twenty nine, and now you've got
Speaker 3: a starting center as well as a starting tackle.
Speaker 7: And since it's in the future, it doesn't hurt like
Speaker 7: had you done that two weeks ago you would have said,
Speaker 7: oh my god. But now it's in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 7: and then the fifth is twenty twenty seven. And the
Speaker 7: difference is he counts three point six million against your cap.
Speaker 7: Marie Cooper was looking for double.
Speaker 3: Digits, so I'll see how he's going to get that.
Speaker 7: And I don't. Well, that's why he's locked there, And.
Speaker 3: Because the market for those veteran wide receivers right now is,
Speaker 3: you know, five or six million dollars a.
Speaker 7: Well, until somebody that this juncture and fred receiver hurt,
Speaker 7: and then that's why he's over there. You go, yeah,
Speaker 7: so the cap hit, and I know it's only one year,
Speaker 7: but what if you know, you never know. But again,
Speaker 7: if he has a good year and he goes into
Speaker 7: free agency, you're going to get a fourth back for
Speaker 7: sure if he has a good year. So from his standpoint,
Speaker 7: I'm guarantee you when he went up and talked to
Speaker 7: Jerry Jones after the conference call, Jerry'll welcome him and
Speaker 7: then I'll say, hey, look, you're in the last year
Speaker 7: of your contract. You got an opportunity to market yourself
Speaker 7: if you have a good year. And I'm sure he
Speaker 7: was told that we're not putting up with any monkey buss.
Speaker 3: I immediately got an email from his PR people, just
Speaker 3: a friendly little hey, we represent George Pickens and anytime
Speaker 3: you guess, if you want to do anything with George,
Speaker 3: just give us a holler.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So they're playing playing that game here as they should.
Speaker 7: And somebody talked to him, and I guarantee you before
Speaker 7: he did the conference call, Schottenheimer talked to him. Okay,
Speaker 7: it was a twelve minute conference call. Six times he
Speaker 7: mentioned being a part of a winning culture. Now where
Speaker 7: do you think that came from? The head coach? Talk
Speaker 7: to him right when I heard that. It's like, oh,
Speaker 7: you moved Michael Parson's locker next to Dak. How about
Speaker 7: the other side. It's open. Put him there and let
Speaker 7: him see what Dak does. You know, CDs find everybody's
Speaker 7: worried about. Oh, they're going to have troubles spreading the
Speaker 7: ball around. This guy's got to mind himself. He's making
Speaker 7: as a base salary the most he's made in his career.
Speaker 7: This is his fourth year, last year in his rookie contract.
Speaker 7: If he wants a big, multi year deal, he's got
Speaker 7: to have a good season and to have a good season.
Speaker 7: You got to mind your p's and q's.
Speaker 8: At twenty four years old, that will not fall on
Speaker 8: deaf ears.
Speaker 2: I don't believe.
Speaker 7: I don't think so easy.
Speaker 2: Old.
Speaker 8: Yeah, if he's a little bit older, then he might
Speaker 8: come in with say, I make right right, I'm okay, I've.
Speaker 2: Done this, I've done that.
Speaker 8: But I think last year, as he reflected back on
Speaker 8: how he acted, pretty sure he feels I can't. I
Speaker 8: can't bring that here, right, I can't bring that to
Speaker 8: whatever team I'm going to. First of all, you know,
Speaker 8: Mike Thomas hell of a coach. I'm surprised that he was.
Speaker 8: He felt that there was right to do what he
Speaker 8: did there because Mike Thomas a hell of a coach
Speaker 8: and we always talk about how he brings the best
Speaker 8: out of his players, So that that was a baffling
Speaker 8: thing for me. For him to act that way to
Speaker 8: a coach that's damn good coach, and I'm sure was
Speaker 8: very direct with him. I'm pretty sure here we're going
Speaker 8: to be just as direct. We don't have time for
Speaker 8: lack of communication or miscommunication. This is the time for
Speaker 8: you and this organization to get back to where we
Speaker 8: need to be. And it's a resurgence time for not
Speaker 8: just him, but for this organization as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 7: I heard his impression here was really good. What people
Speaker 7: thought of them. So maybe you mentioned pr people his agent.
Speaker 7: They talk to him and go, hey, this is really
Speaker 7: important that you fit in right. And and when I
Speaker 7: kept hearing the winning culture, and he did it on
Speaker 7: his own, you know. And that's kind of how he
Speaker 7: was answering questions. And he may not said a lot,
Speaker 7: but what he said he didn't overstep his bounds. He
Speaker 7: didn't cause any problems. So to start off, which caused me,
Speaker 7: what what did you say? Your thing was about slim pickings.
Speaker 7: My headline and my my column for Friday was let's
Speaker 7: give Pickens a chance, So peace pickings. I just wanted
Speaker 7: to make sure anyway now here.
Speaker 2: That's why he's.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 7: That's the other thing. And what the cowboys were looking for.
Speaker 7: Remember Schottenheimer said, we need some juice. I don't know
Speaker 7: that Amari Cooper gives you juice, right, gives you a
Speaker 7: good possession receiver. I think your big green notebook would
Speaker 7: tell you. I looked it up that his forty times
Speaker 7: when he was at the combine was four four seven
Speaker 7: then I saw this stat Since twenty nineteen, the Cowboys
Speaker 7: have not had a wide receiver with at least fifty
Speaker 7: catches averaging at least fifteen yards a catch. This guy
Speaker 7: averaged sixteen point three over his three years with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7: Then this other stat popped up that they were at
Speaker 7: however accurate. This is they were totally reception yards on
Speaker 7: vertical routes since twenty twenty two when he came in
Speaker 7: the league. Number one Tyreek Hill, number two Justin Jefferson,
Speaker 7: number three George Pickens.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 7: So he had sixteen one, six hundred and thirty yards
Speaker 7: in those three years on vertical route. Somebody can get
Speaker 7: down the field. So it goes back to what we
Speaker 7: were talking about. You got c. D. Lamb on one side,
Speaker 7: you got him on the other side. If you put
Speaker 7: Cavante Turpin in the slot and you put Blue at
Speaker 7: running back, now who you doubling? Right? And you're not
Speaker 7: going to cover Blue in a in a pass route
Speaker 7: with a linebacker, right, because that's usually what happens. Right,
Speaker 7: It's got to be at least the safety.
Speaker 8: And let's let's not forget about Ferguson, and that I
Speaker 8: do not forget about This is going to open up
Speaker 8: the game for him as well. Right, I hope he's
Speaker 8: gotten this stuff together as far as his blocking, and
Speaker 8: as you know, it seemed like he was a little
Speaker 8: discombobulated last year.
Speaker 2: This should give him a chance to settle back.
Speaker 8: Down the way he was two years ago, when he
Speaker 8: seemed to have everything under control, when he was that
Speaker 8: guy that wanted to just go hurt somebody and going
Speaker 8: to go out there and be dangerous.
Speaker 2: I forget how he said it.
Speaker 8: This gives him an opportunity to show what he can
Speaker 8: do as well. Everyone's going down the field. The intermediate
Speaker 8: routes they belonged to the running back and they belonged
Speaker 8: to the tight end. That's going to be a really
Speaker 8: nice checkdown for Dak Prescott.
Speaker 7: So there should be options there. And I went back
Speaker 7: and look last year, not counting CD, the other wide receivers,
Speaker 7: Jalen Brooks averaged fourteen point eight yards of catch. He
Speaker 7: had twelve catches the year before, Gallop twelve point three,
Speaker 7: and he had thirty four catches in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 7: The highest the highest average in twenty twenty two on
Speaker 7: seven catches was Hilton seventeen point two. I forgot you
Speaker 7: why Wilton I didzoo?
Speaker 6: Yeah, how many catches?
Speaker 7: Seven? And he had seventeen point two And then in
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one Cedric Wilson thirteen point four on forty five,
Speaker 7: and twenty twenty Gallup again fourteen to three on fifty nine.
Speaker 7: So none of these other receivers ever got more than
Speaker 7: fifteen yards a catch, and that includes CD by the way,
Speaker 7: So maybe they got somebody to stretch the field, which
Speaker 7: will open up the running game.
Speaker 2: Take the cap, Take the cap.
Speaker 7: Now, the offensive line's got to perform, right, So but anyway,
Speaker 7: I think that was in the back of their mind.
Speaker 7: Also they took into consideration how badly they probably needed that.
Speaker 3: So as far as the reputation coming here, yes, how
Speaker 3: many times in the history of sports have you seen
Speaker 3: guys who have a certain reputation in one city on
Speaker 3: planning for one team, it comes to a new team
Speaker 3: and it's a different situation.
Speaker 2: Happens all the time.
Speaker 3: It happens all the.
Speaker 7: Time, like it's not poison.
Speaker 3: Well, and most recently in our city, Kyrie Irving, I
Speaker 3: mean Kyrie Irving has fit in here in Dallas.
Speaker 8: Where everyone had has that leisure, everyone has that legia
Speaker 8: about you know, some of the things that was said
Speaker 8: and that he believed in things of that nature that
Speaker 8: he he professed.
Speaker 3: To and and he's been a model person here.
Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent.
Speaker 8: He you know, Luca goes down. He's still trying to
Speaker 8: hang in there and take this team to the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I go back in history. What do you think think
Speaker 3: they were saying about this Everson Wallas guy in New
Speaker 3: York when you know he got at odds with this
Speaker 3: Jimmy Johnson did at getting Here's a guy, he's a malcolontent.
Speaker 3: He fraternizes with players, and why wouldn't want him on.
Speaker 8: You as Sometimes it's just the player and the head coach.
Speaker 8: I talked about, you know, Mike Thomas. Much as I
Speaker 8: think he's a great coach, obviously there's something there between
Speaker 8: those two guys that didn't click. I don't think I've
Speaker 8: ever seen a player have a problem with Mike Thomas.
Speaker 8: He did, that doesn't mean he's going to have a
Speaker 8: problem here. Not automatic.
Speaker 3: Why was des Bryant the twenty fifth pick in the draft?
Speaker 3: Why was he still available late in the first round
Speaker 3: because there was a reputation there that he's son coach
Speaker 3: Bull or whatever it might be. And he was fine here,
Speaker 3: you know, more than fine.
Speaker 7: Because everybody wanted to point out his his background. And
Speaker 7: I remember it was maybe the day after the draft.
Speaker 7: I was talking to Michael Irvin and if anybody knows
Speaker 7: DEA's background, it was tough growing up Lufkin and he
Speaker 7: went through He went through a lot as a young kid, right,
Speaker 7: And just to sum it up, I found out that
Speaker 7: he never had his own room at home to sleep
Speaker 7: in until he was in the dorm at Oklahoma State
Speaker 7: because he lived with many different people. And Michael Irvin
Speaker 7: told me, he goes this kid should be applauded because
Speaker 7: most kids that went through what he did growing up
Speaker 7: were either dead or in jail, and that he made
Speaker 7: it to this point. And Michael was right, because I mean,
Speaker 7: he knew about tough ways growing up and so you know.
Speaker 2: Well it made him tough. Yeah, that's what gave him
Speaker 2: to be solved.
Speaker 8: That he had everyone that goes through tough things that
Speaker 8: are not broken, and des was not broken. You know,
Speaker 8: he just had that attitude of a guy that came
Speaker 8: from there. And sometimes that intimidates people because they don't
Speaker 8: know how to talk to a person like that. But
Speaker 8: he's just a guy that wanted to play ball, and
Speaker 8: damn he was good at it.
Speaker 7: And you think about it until Teo got his money.
Speaker 7: He was fine. Then he got paid, and then the
Speaker 7: Prima Donna came out.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, everybody gets paid, doesn't start acting weird.
Speaker 7: And you know what, I used to call this wide
Speaker 7: receiver group the unreceiver group because nobody was, you know,
Speaker 7: boisterous or I need this or I need that car
Speaker 7: the at these were the nicest guys ever.
Speaker 3: So what does a guy like this bring to just
Speaker 3: the confidence level?
Speaker 8: Cos I love his cockiness. You know, it's good to
Speaker 8: have confide this and de brash about it. You know,
Speaker 8: he's just a little he's a little more animated than most.
Speaker 8: CD is more cool with his but he's cocky as well.
Speaker 8: And I would love to see these guys on the
Speaker 8: same team together. I can't wait to see him on
Speaker 8: the same field together. I'm hoping. And I'm pretty sure
Speaker 8: we've been through enough here to where the wide receivers
Speaker 8: understand that their group is probably based on the quarterback
Speaker 8: that you have. Besides that offensive line, their group is
Speaker 8: probably the most important group on this team.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 7: I don't know what you guys think of Deontae Johnson.
Speaker 7: He was probably the best wide receiver he was paired
Speaker 7: with the Steelers. So CD is going to be the
Speaker 7: absolute best wide receiver he's worked with, no doubt. They
Speaker 7: had Kelvin Austin was a fourth round pick, and then
Speaker 7: I think last year it was Van Jefferson who had
Speaker 7: thirty six catch thirty six catches.
Speaker 2: I think no.
Speaker 7: Twenty four catches. Austin had thirty six. So he was
Speaker 7: the guy they who if you're playing Pittsburgh, who you
Speaker 7: who you designating? We got to take care of this guy, right,
Speaker 7: So he's in the best situation.
Speaker 3: He brought Mike Williams into it, didn't they did they
Speaker 3: have last year? Last year or some He came in
Speaker 3: late in the year, but it's late last half.
Speaker 2: That's when they were flailing. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So and Dak will be the best quarterback he's
Speaker 7: played with true hands down. So if he's got a scent,
Speaker 7: any sense, he knows he's in a really good situation,
Speaker 7: and he acted like it in that conference call. Now
Speaker 7: it's easy to do a conference right, but you know,
Speaker 7: the things he said were what he should have said.
Speaker 7: So to me, he listened to Schottenheimer.
Speaker 8: I'm hoping they understand he and Ceedee Lamb understand what they.
Speaker 2: Can do here together.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they got to understand that they can make it
Speaker 8: can be game changes, man, with.
Speaker 2: The Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 8: You can be a game chamber with the changer with
Speaker 8: this team. With the draft that we just had and
Speaker 8: the talent. He's young, he's very young. So with the
Speaker 8: talent that we have for a lot of young talent
Speaker 8: here right on this team. Now, man, they have an
Speaker 8: opportunity to really do some great things.
Speaker 2: It reminds me a lot of the Detroit situation. You
Speaker 2: know when when.
Speaker 8: Campbell first got there. They have this opportunity to really
Speaker 8: do something great here.
Speaker 3: And they got some juice on their offense.
Speaker 2: Now they do.
Speaker 3: Okay, we continue with mixed shots in just a moment,
Speaker 3: and a former Cowboy finds a new home when we
Speaker 3: come back.

Speaker 3: a new home. He signs. He tries out with the
Speaker 3: Raiders over the weekend, and he is signing with the
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Raiders. Must have been a good workout, yes,
Speaker 3: must have been. One thing to note on that you remember.
Speaker 3: After Jalen left the Cowboys, he spent some time with
Speaker 3: the New York Giants. Patrick Graham is the defensive cord
Speaker 3: with the Raiders, and so he would have coached and
Speaker 3: he used to be defensive coordinator with the Giants, so
Speaker 3: he would have coached Jalen in New York.
Speaker 2: So there he is. Do you think I have no idea?
Speaker 3: But apparently it's well enough that he passed the physical
Speaker 3: and passed a tryout, and so now he's getting an
Speaker 3: opportunity with the Raiders after not playing last year.
Speaker 2: The entire season.
Speaker 7: And I take eighty seven back because that's Ferguson's number.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that looks like a number.
Speaker 3: Do you think anyone knows what you're talking about right now?
Speaker 7: Oh? Did I not say that this? Oh? I'm sorry
Speaker 7: you didn't you bring up the number?
Speaker 3: I did, but it was a break.
Speaker 7: Do you expect me to remember all this stuff?
Speaker 2: It was before he went to Tinkle.
Speaker 3: No, I went to look outside, sorry to see if
Speaker 3: I saw a number on the practice field. And I
Speaker 3: did not see a number on the practice field.
Speaker 8: But what's you want to give? Give him some number?
Speaker 8: What are we're trying to give him? What we're trying
Speaker 8: to give George.
Speaker 3: Well Pickens has been wearing fourteen, But that's Marquise Bell
Speaker 3: has fourteen.
Speaker 7: Zero through ten. The only ones open is eight, and
Speaker 7: he's probably not getting an eight. And then from eleven
Speaker 7: to twenty is seven out there Diggs.
Speaker 3: Diggs is seven right, and then from you play off,
Speaker 3: he doesn't play defits.
Speaker 2: No, we can we do the college.
Speaker 7: Eleven numbers eleven through twenty, only ones available.
Speaker 2: Twelve.
Speaker 3: He ain't wearing twelve.
Speaker 2: There's a reason that's available now.
Speaker 7: In the eighties eighty through ninety, only ones available eighty two.
Speaker 7: It's not a bad they're not getting I'm giving.
Speaker 3: They're not giving Witton's number to them.
Speaker 6: They're not righting written I forgot when he forgets Witten.
Speaker 2: Now you gotta go back to to bail.
Speaker 8: I make Marquis Ball a very handsome offer. And I
Speaker 8: was getting number fourteen. And if I'm not if I'm bail.
Speaker 6: There's actually two guys in fourteen right now.
Speaker 2: By the way, who is that?
Speaker 6: Josh Kelly is also in fourteen. He's a rookie drafted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a rookie.
Speaker 12: And by the way, there's another seven too. There's two
Speaker 12: people in seven right now.
Speaker 3: And I just saw one of them who Trey Shawn
Speaker 3: Holden hold as well.
Speaker 2: They don't count. They do not count.
Speaker 3: That's who I just saw on the field.
Speaker 8: They do not Yes, no, they I had twenty seven
Speaker 8: as an undrafted rookie free agent, so no, that is
Speaker 8: not it.
Speaker 7: Well, I don't see any numbers available.
Speaker 8: Well, you've gotta have fourteen. Gotta have fourteen. You gotta
Speaker 8: have fourteen.
Speaker 7: East Bell be forty one.
Speaker 8: And Marquis Bell is coming off of an injury. And
Speaker 8: if I were him and pickings were able, that was
Speaker 8: willing to give me money. I'm gonna take that money,
Speaker 8: and I'm gonna say, you know what, you can have fourteen.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but some of these guys along you have.
Speaker 6: To then you have to move two numbers in one
Speaker 6: in that room.
Speaker 7: Some of these guys are going to Mickey.
Speaker 3: You don't have to limit him to numbers one through
Speaker 3: nineteen or eighty through eighty nine.
Speaker 6: They can.
Speaker 3: It's an open field now where wide receivers can wear
Speaker 3: all the way up to number forty nine. So you
Speaker 3: can go off the wall and put him and give it.
Speaker 3: Put him in.
Speaker 8: A on MS Roston. Fourteen is the number for him.
Speaker 3: You're not going to put him in twenty two.
Speaker 6: His number in college was one.
Speaker 3: He was number one in college, and so that's Jalen
Speaker 3: Tolbert's number so.
Speaker 7: He can make some money. I'm trying to see guys
Speaker 7: that aren't going to make the team.
Speaker 8: Waukee's belt is he's coming off of injury and he's
Speaker 8: going to sell his jersey.
Speaker 7: Didn't they already? Did they release Seth Williams? Yes, they did, so,
Speaker 7: thirteen's open.
Speaker 3: Thirteen is available.
Speaker 2: Okay, Thirteen's not bad.
Speaker 7: That's not bad.
Speaker 3: Not bad, though, you're going to put him in thirteen?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're going to show we're not superstitious. Let's see here,
Speaker 7: we're going to solve this right, all right?
Speaker 3: What else is on your legal pad? Well? I figure
Speaker 3: out what number he's going to get.
Speaker 7: Ah, you know, I think we've about filled it up.
Speaker 2: What's overshown? What's his number? Zero?
Speaker 5: Zero?
Speaker 7: Now he's zero him and Rowdy Mackey.
Speaker 6: Rowdy's double zero.
Speaker 3: He's double zero. Rowdy's doubles.
Speaker 7: Shame on me for not paying attention.
Speaker 6: I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, thirteen, thirteen is a good number. But I would
Speaker 8: I would. I promise you I would go fourteen, and
Speaker 8: I would go hard at Marquise Bell.
Speaker 7: Who's five Brian Ainger, Oh that's right.
Speaker 3: He's your punter and he's got seniority. Yes, like fourteen
Speaker 3: years of the league. Yeah, I would go fourteen.
Speaker 8: Just pay for it, buddy, just pay for it. I
Speaker 8: mean to take that money and he'll take another jersey.
Speaker 8: He looks good in any in any number, I would.
Speaker 6: Go to two.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 12: One is had that for like what a couple of months? Yeah,
Speaker 12: because that was Jordan Lewis right. So when Jordan left,
Speaker 12: he jumped into two.
Speaker 2: Who jumped into two one?
Speaker 3: Thomas?
Speaker 7: Yes, and for a safety number forty one still open.
Speaker 8: Yeah, fourteen is the way to go, guys, I take
Speaker 8: fourteen or thirteen.
Speaker 7: You don't want two?
Speaker 8: Two's not bad, ain't bad too, ain't bad at all.
Speaker 8: So no, he's got some choices. He's got some choices.
Speaker 8: It's up to him.
Speaker 3: The eighty numbers don't work for him, not right, No, No,
Speaker 3: it slows him down.
Speaker 2: Too heavy.
Speaker 6: Two's a real light number, light on the that's too much.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like wearing black high tops and basketball.
Speaker 12: I would say I would go hard at Jaalen Tober
Speaker 12: for that old college number.
Speaker 3: You know, say, hey, you know, so, what's Jalen gonna wear?
Speaker 6: Then he figured out thirteen. Michael gallops old.
Speaker 8: Michael Marque's bell would look good in a forty plus number.
Speaker 2: It'll make him look bigger.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why linebackers he should wear big numbers in
Speaker 7: the fifties.
Speaker 8: But he's also but he's safeties also can take forties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, take big numbers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bill Bates, Yeah, that'd be nice. Charlie Waters is
Speaker 3: forty one, Cliff Harris is forty three. I like forty
Speaker 3: forty for Marquee spell Yeah, okay, lip Gey, I think
Speaker 3: it makes more. The most sense is Marque's just flipping
Speaker 3: the numbers from fourteen to forty one.
Speaker 7: There you go, you know.
Speaker 3: I think that's what we've at.
Speaker 7: We got it, okay, See we should have. We should
Speaker 7: have had Mike or Bucky on the guys in equipment.
Speaker 7: They'll tell us about Jersey, they tell us, and you
Speaker 7: can double up daring OTA's strength and condition.
Speaker 8: We have Bucket, We'll have Bucky on over here telling
Speaker 8: us all the Jerseys.
Speaker 3: Weekend right, home opener. Who's going to be against if
Speaker 3: they're opening? No, that was the the opener, the home opener. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 3: So you're opening on September fourth at Philadelphia. In all likelihood,
Speaker 3: your first home game will be Sunday, September fourteenth, it.
Speaker 2: Will be somebody out of the division. Yeah. Could they
Speaker 2: be somewhere for sure?
Speaker 3: Because you've just played a division, right, and so Cardinals
Speaker 3: Cardinals at home?
Speaker 7: And second game, Yeah, could be Minnesota, depending on what
Speaker 7: they decide for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: It could be anybody could Because the Marquee game is
Speaker 3: going to be that Thursday night, right, The Market game
Speaker 3: is going to be that Thursday night, right, and so
Speaker 3: whatever happens after that the week after, Man, if we're
Speaker 3: going to eliminate the Giants, then division games, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a Cardinals, and I don't think.
Speaker 3: They It's not going to be the Packers. It's not
Speaker 3: going to be the Chiefs or.
Speaker 8: You got You're starting off here on Thursday night. You know,
Speaker 8: now we got to kind of chill on the next week.
Speaker 8: It's going to be and I don't mean the cards bad,
Speaker 8: but as far as marketing marketing is concerned, it's going
Speaker 8: to be.
Speaker 3: It'll still be a three twenty five kickoff. So you're
Speaker 3: not noon kicking.
Speaker 7: You're probably not playing back to back division I would
Speaker 7: not say probably not playing back to back night super
Speaker 7: Bowl contenders talking about our Super Bowl participants, right, yeah,
Speaker 7: I agree, So that eliminates Kansas City Packers.
Speaker 8: No, say that, say that that's right, that's out of
Speaker 8: history to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think it's.
Speaker 7: Which you know, is another another consideration on Thanksgiving. Go
Speaker 7: back to nineteen ninety four packers Packers.
Speaker 12: Yeah, in twenty twenty one when the Cowboys played Tampa
Speaker 12: on that opener, uh huh.
Speaker 6: The following the following.
Speaker 12: Week, they were on the road again against the Chargers,
Speaker 12: if you remember correctly, So we did.
Speaker 6: Back to back road games. It could be a road.
Speaker 12: Game, yeah, it could be a road first home opener
Speaker 12: was against Philly.
Speaker 3: But if we're looking at the first home game, whether
Speaker 3: it's yeah, whether it's the fourteen.
Speaker 2: What was what was the home game, Chris?
Speaker 6: It was Philly. Okay, so it went Tampa Charge at
Speaker 6: Tampa and.
Speaker 12: That was on I think it was a Wednesday, correct, Yes,
Speaker 12: that was the thirty one, twenty nine loss to Tom
Speaker 12: Brady and then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then we
Speaker 12: played at the Chargers.
Speaker 6: We won that game on.
Speaker 2: A field, Sure, yeah we should.
Speaker 7: Can they can? They scheduling something easy?
Speaker 2: That's that's about as easy as you're going to get.
Speaker 7: Christian hey man.
Speaker 12: We went road, road, home home. That was the actually
Speaker 12: three home games in a row. So went two on
Speaker 12: the road and three at home. To kick off the
Speaker 12: twenty twenty one it.
Speaker 7: Would be college football.
Speaker 6: I think I thinks.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking Cardinals. Okay, Now you want to predict the
Speaker 3: preseason games. I got the Rams at the Rams. The
Speaker 3: one the one road preseason game will be in l A.
Speaker 3: Do we play the Chargers of the Rams last year
Speaker 3: in the preseason? I can't remember what.
Speaker 6: If it's Vegas we played the Rams.
Speaker 3: We played Vegas at Vegas playing, but we played at
Speaker 3: the Race. So it'll be But you play the Chargers again,
Speaker 3: why not you play the Chargers and the season, So
Speaker 3: maybe that game in l A once again will be
Speaker 3: against the Rams preseason. That would I guess, then you
Speaker 3: come back for two home games. Okay, all right, we
Speaker 3: got that figured out. I want who did I want?
Speaker 3: There's somebody that I wanted coming in here. Yeah, Cleveland,
Speaker 3: let's take let's get Cleveland coming. No, that's what I wanted.
Speaker 3: I wanted Cleveland the home games against Chadur in Cleveland, Jacksonville,
Speaker 3: and the other one was Miami because I want Quinn
Speaker 3: Yours playing.
Speaker 12: I want Jacksonville son you can see, you can see
Speaker 12: Travis Hunter.

Speaker 12: As if he's gonna play, he's Jordan Lewis with the Jaguars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's not gonna play either. I want you
Speaker 3: guys that are gonna play. And so the home games
Speaker 3: need to be Chauduur and Quinn Yours come in here.
Speaker 8: Could you imagine preseason if he gets a preseason start.
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Wait wait wait, wait, let me take that back. I
