All right? So I got. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.119 Well, I got a thought. Right, so you know the Eagles, 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.840 they they're rubbing their hands together, they unveil their banner 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.200 with the Cowboys coming in there. Sure, so I've got 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.280 an idea even more Wait wait wait, wait, wait wait 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.799 he's I've got an idea. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:56.880 What's the idea. 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.919 It's got a little uniform adjustment here where one. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.560 Of your nineteen ninety five uniform. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:08.320 Five five world champion patches go on the uniform or 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:09.880 the opener against the Eagles. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:16.079 That would be a gaudy uniform stuff all over the place, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:17.240 see the numbers. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.640 And somehow and somehow you got to get Drew Pearson involved. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.280 Yeah, right, it'd be good. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.760 We'd have to give him curnity if he goes to 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:28.399 the game. 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:33.240 Which, by the way, he is, I'm gonna see him 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.840 on Saturday. He's the guest at the East East Dallas 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.880 Exchange Club. Yeah, they do their fundraiser Saturday and he's 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.920 the special guest. Nice, so I might have to poke 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:47.640 him a little bit. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.360 I couldn't make it too. They had a little lunch 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.320 and sometimes the guys get together. Yeah, and on Friday 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.320 they had a nice little lunch. I don't know where 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.560 they went, but yeah, they they had a good time 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.160 because I had the follow the text thread and they 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.600 were still continuing the conversation that they had while eating 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:07.200 on the text thread. 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:08.760 So it was almost like. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.000 Brad usually does the interview with the guy. So I'm 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.280 sure that he'll poke the bear. Uh. But yeah, I 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.240 think I think Brian Schottenheimer should be celebrating that they 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.120 get to do this. Yes and all, He's got to 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:29.240 tell them Eagles as those players walk out onto this 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.440 field today, Yes, off seasons are the Eagles on their 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.720 mind as they continue there. They should be on their 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.599 mind every day between now and the end of training camp. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.880 Let's not give them too much credit now, I mean, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.440 we get just the Eagles. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.840 We're done but we too. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.000 You got to play again. 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.320 We've got to play another game. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.159 When you got the commanders come in, we got. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:57.600 Stuff to do. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.000 Man. Well, so here's the sober thought. You remember the 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.960 last time the Cowboys opened the season against the Eagles, 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.080 it was Dave Campo's coach you head coaching debut in 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:12.040 two thousand. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.039 Was that the pickle juice? Yes, it was. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.799 It was like one hundred degrees at Texas Stadium. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.640 And they handled the heat way better than. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.520 We because because they drank pickle juice, they didn't cramp up? 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:27.320 Did we didn't? 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.680 You know, our modern methods didn't help us because everyone 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:32.360 else was hot. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.359 We don't have any pickle juice. Oh well, damn, the 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:35.040 game is over. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.679 That seemed like we've never played in heat before. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.600 Yeah, you know, bottom line on pickle juice, it does work. 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:44.520 It does work. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.960 So I did it during a bike ride and I 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:53.240 cramped up, and I got to the stop and they 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.159 had pickle juice there, and I drank it and my 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:58.480 cramps cleared up. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.039 And there's a reason they had picklej is there. Yeah. Yeah, 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:02.200 they just happened to. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.880 Be there, like somebody was just having hot dogs and hamburgers. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.559 And oh, listen, pickle juice left. No, it was brought 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.000 there for the heat. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:10.719 They said, do you want water? I go, No, I 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:11.760 need pickled juice. 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.320 For those of you who are long time listeners of 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.239 Mixed Shots and listening to Mickey Spagnola, it usually always 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.039 comes back to a bike ride for him. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.960 Well, he has to show you some way that he's 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.279 somewhat of an athlete. You just covering athletes. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.919 A few too many times. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.680 You can't mention an Achilles injury without no worry about I. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.799 Know about Achilles. So the Cowboys. 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.120 I can hear the Achilles story anytime we bring up Achilles. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:48.039 The Cowboys on September third got beat by Philadelphia forty one. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:53.680 Fourteen September third, two thousand, Yes, almost twenty five years 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.200 to the day later. 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.279 That's right. Was that Andy Reid's first game as their 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:04.360 head coach. I think it might have been about when 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.240 he We're going to look that up for you, keep talking, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:12.360 when he when he started. Now they've they've played. This 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.680 will be their second Thursday season opener. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.000 No, it was not what do you mean, No, it's 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.680 not his Philadelphia nineteen ninety nine. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.560 Okay, I was off, so he was. He was a 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:33.280 veteran coach by one year with the Eagles. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.080 So when they do come in here, are they going 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.360 to bring up when we go there, are they going 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.600 to bring the tush push? 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.360 Well, that's the other thing we're about to get about. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.360 The resolution on that coming up here in the next week. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.960 Right because the meetings they're probably going to vote on it, and. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.040 The meetings of this week. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.160 I believe it's either this week or next Ala. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.240 Say it's twenty May twenty something. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.120 Yeah, they're they're supposed to do. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.280 The Eagles are still going to be good on quarterback 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.240 sneaks even if you get rid of the toush push. 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:05.520 Yeah. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:06.280 Absolutely. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.560 My thing is, why complain about the tush push? Why 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.720 don't you just do yourn? Why doesn't everyone adapt it? 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.320 I don't understand it's it's it's. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.920 Well, they don't have to outlaw the tush push. They 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.200 need to outlaw pushing in general. Like when the ball's 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.480 five yards downfield and then here comes all the offensive 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:30.720 linemen shoving that that's ridiculous. That's what they need, not 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.880 the tush push. That bs. This ain't Australian rules football, 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.680 rugby or rugby either. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.440 One rugby. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:48.760 I like, so anyway we know that. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:51.280 Now we. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.200 What what would be the big thing we need? 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.200 Oh? I know what it is? Yeah, I'm sure you do. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.720 The Jets have to play host to the Cowboys and 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:09.120 they have a game in London scheduled. Okay, so could 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.560 the Cowboys be their opponent? Oh? 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:17.720 Okay, now okay, let's see, so you're speculating. I just 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.360 just be playing in London against the Jets. They have 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:21.960 what we preview. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.680 I'm pretty sure if they were going to London this season, 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.920 we'd already know about it right now, because they haven't. 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.280 They haven't ann they announced who's hosting. 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.719 Now they are announcing before the Wednesday night release and 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.840 one of the either tomorrow morning or the next morning. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:42.160 They are announcing all of the international international games. Yeah, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.840 so we would would know that that prior to Wednesday. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.760 That might be too much if they get both right, 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.600 you'll have a seat on the plane, right, yeah, big time? 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.720 What about you will the UH to London? 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.080 Yeah, he's gonna k I. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.400 Would probably be going to pull right. I didn't go 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.440 the last time they played in London. And I don't 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.880 want to talk about London much because it's probably not 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.000 gonna happen. I don't want to give the impression that 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:13.040 I just threw it. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.959 Out there, right, Okay, you had me going, Yeah. 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.000 The issue is now, how to the Jets and filling 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:23.800 up their stadium for home games? Mm hmm with what 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.360 they've got this year on their team. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:26.480 It's New York. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.040 I mean, do they have an issue for fall? You 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.320 don't want to play? You don't want to give up 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.040 a home game against the Cowboys. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:35.680 Yeah. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.760 I think the Jet fans come there just to boo 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.600 the Jets. That's the way it seems, even fill it 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:41.720 up with just Jet fans. 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:42.160 Mad. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.599 You know, it's New York and they have an advantage 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:51.199 flying over there because they're three hours closer. You got 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.520 to think about it. We'll spot three hour flight to 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:54.559 New York, isn't it too? 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.960 But would they if you fly from there, you go 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.360 up to New York and then to London you go 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.160 over you know? 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:02.319 All right? 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.000 Do you do you happen to have We're going to 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:11.280 complete our little schedule preview right here in this segment. Okay, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.439 So we aren't going to attack it any further because 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:14.880 we got much bigger things. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.920 Well, look about, let me throw this out Okay, So 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:23.559 the Eagles swept the Cowboys last year, and so the 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:28.880 last time they beat the Cowboys in three straight games 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.280 was the end of the two thousand and three season. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.240 In both games in two thousand and four, with Vinnie 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:41.440 testa Verdi and quarterback, they won three straight thirty six, ten, 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.840 forty nine, twenty one and twelve seven. 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:47.920 Well, I thought you were going to go back to 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:48.559 the eighties. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:55.880 No, there's there's eighty eight, eighty nine in ninety involved 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.520 there where the streak's probably maybe even longer. But that's 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:04.520 the last time they lost three straight to the Eagles. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:10.200 Okay, As where we complete our little schedule preview segment here, 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.199 I think we need to review who the Cowboys are 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.480 playing at home and who they are playing on the 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.440 road this year, just to give you to so you 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.760 can visualize what's going to be announced. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.920 And with Bill heading into that, I saw where the 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.680 Eagles have to play eleven games against twenty twenty four 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.960 playoff teams game so first place schedule of course, have 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:34.400 at it. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.720 Ok Cowboys of course with a third place schedule this year. 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:43.440 All right, aside from the NFC East opponents, the home 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:47.280 games for the Cowboys and this year, You've got three 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.199 six eight home games, so you play one more road 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.920 game with a seventeen game schedule this year, which means 0:12:53.920 --> 0:13:00.480 you'll have two home preseason games. Okay, aside from the 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:09.679 three NFC East rivals, the Cowboys will be hosting the Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings, 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:16.160 and Cardinals. That's a rather salty home schedule. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:16.840 I love. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:24.880 Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings and Cardinals. If you break that 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:30.600 down into quarterbacks, it's Jordan Love, Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:37.200 J J. McCarthy, and Kyler Murray. Okay, road games aside 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.880 from the NFC East at Caleb Williams and the Bears 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.719 at bow Nicks, and the Broncos at Jared Goff and 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:55.920 the Lions at Geno Smith, and the Raiders at Justin Fields, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:01.440 and the Jets, you think at Rice Young and the 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:09.280 Panthers Carolina again, yes, Carolina again. So the Cowboys are 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:15.080 and the NFC East is playing the AFC West as 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.520 well as the NFC North. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.400 This year, so they got to go to Vegas. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:26.320 That's right on to Vegas, and so by virtue of 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.880 the third place schedule, the three games that the Cowboys 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.400 have that are wild card games that aren't that what 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.840 everyone else is playing in the division. It's the Cardinals 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.720 at home, it's the Jets and the Panthers on the road. 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.520 That's what you get from being a third place steam 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.960 rather than a first place team. Cardinals at home, Jets 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.400 and Panthers on the road. That's an advantage there. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.760 So that means the Eagles have to play first place 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.400 team in the got the Mill West right, I was 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:06.040 going back, Okay, sorry, and then they've got so they 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:06.320 got the. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:10.040 Rams, the Rams and the so the Rams was the 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.120 NFC West right, right, and then they've got the Bills 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.080 from the AFC East right. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:18.560 No, you never said Buffalo. 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.400 No, I'm saying for the Eagles. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:24.200 Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, And. 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:29.000 Then Tampa Bay won the NFC South right. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.240 Which Tampa Bay is the last time the Cowboys opened 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:35.720 the season on Thursday, they played the Bucks when they 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.480 were Super Bowl champs, and before that it would have 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.520 been a Thursday they were playing the Giants, but the 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.560 Democratic National Convention was on Thursday, so they moved that 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:48.960 opener to Wednesday. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.080 Did we win that in Tampa No? 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.040 No, thirty one? 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.800 Yeah, but they won. 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:06.680 The uh so, oh this was before your time? They ope, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.080 nothing was before our time. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.640 They opened not much be for five hours. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:17.800 They had openers against Philadelphia previously, not only two thousand 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.840 and seventy six, seventy two. 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.920 They opened before ever since time as a cowboy, not 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:25.800 before time as a human. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.800 Yeah, he might have been peeking over the fence at that. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.200 Time, probably was peaking right over the standing on the hood. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:32.880 Yeah. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.000 So there's your history. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:39.440 Okay, very good, and there is your schedule release preview. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.160 Oh I got one other note on that Cowboys on 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:49.280 Thanksgiving will be that game is this year being televised 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.880 on CBS, no. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.160 Way, seriously, and they they flipped that's. 0:16:55.040 --> 0:17:02.320 Right, CBS to Fox, which give team. But traditionally, you know, 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.880 CBS has been the AFC, and so you would think 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:10.399 if they follow tradition, it would be the Chiefs or 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.680 the Chargers at the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. But they pretty 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.320 much thrown that out the window. In many respects. It's 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:25.040 still you get more AFC for the CBS, But as 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.640 far as Thanksgiving is concerned, we'll see. I would think 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:35.240 so if you're the network or the NFL and you're deciding, okay, 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.879 Chiefs at Cowboys or Chargers at Cowboys. If those are 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.880 your two choices on Thanksgiving Day, which would. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.000 It be Chiefs? 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.560 It would be except I would think that a network 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:53.040 might want that Chiefs Cowboys game for a Sunday night 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:57.520 game NBC or a Monday night game. And so that's 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:01.199 why I think if it is an AFC team, I 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:01.640 think it. 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.600 Might be better than no Sunday Night. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.880 It depends on the pecking order. Here's the deal you've got. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:12.760 It's basically a pecking order where the networks they've got 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.000 their priorities on Okay, I want that game or I 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.640 want that game whatever, and so a network might say, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.840 NBC might say, you know what, I want Kansas City 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.000 and Dallas, and so they put that not higher up 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.399 on the pecking order, not on which that would not 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:30.080 be on Thanksgiving. 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:31.000 I would rather have it. 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.679 Well, but one of the things, like for CBS, is 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.959 you're going to get your ratings anyway anyway on Thanksgiving 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.680 and so, and the NFL has to look at that too, 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.760 and so, and it's not a bad game the Chargers, and. 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.359 That's why it might be Minnesota. 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.040 And so it could be an NFC team. But anyway, 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:50.000 just throw that out. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:54.320 But from a historical standpoint, Cowboy Chiefs on Thanksgiving means 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:59.400 the old tech Dallas Texans, Yes, of course. 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.600 I mean, I mean if that doesn't have a Thanksgiving field, you. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:07.680 Can't go you know, you're really on the whether it's 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.560 the NFC Steams or I mean you look at that 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:12.240 home skout. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.959 You can't, you can't, you can't go wrong with and 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.560 they could play up the Preston Road Trophy to playing 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.520 the Chiefs. Really yeah, because the Hunts live down the 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:26.240 street from. 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.119 All Right, So there is your schedule release preview. Now 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.200 we get next segment. We get to the big store 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.760 in the past week, and that would be no longer 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:40.800 slim picking see wide receiver for the Cowboys.

Oh yeah, he was right next 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:38.960 door to me. 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:40.320 And you're a. 0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:44.720 Reporter, you said, yes, Okay, you say your reporter. 0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:47.480 Interesting. 0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:53.080 They were talking about having a press conference, but I 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:54.960 think with the ACM Awards. 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.320 That night, it's going to make it difficult and different 0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.480 for people to get here in park. Yea, lady, it's. 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:06.159 The biggest issue parking. Okay, So listening to us, that's right, 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:08.720 Because if you listened to us last week, and we 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.040 were on Tuesday last week, we were lamenting the fact 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.720 that this team needed to make a move for a 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.720 wide receiver too in the worst kind of way, and 0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:22.560 within twenty four hours they did that. Yeah, but was 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:23.640 it in the worst kind of way? 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:25.399 It was in the worst kind of way. I know 0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:29.240 for me, it was if I recalled last week that 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.879 this I just knew that this was not the group 0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:32.960 that we can go with. 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:33.600 Uh. 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:37.120 We were trying to figure out ways, uh to finagle 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:39.680 our roster to where we could put the running back 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:41.960 out there, put Blue out there right, put them on 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:45.520 the slot at least that was my suggestion using them wove. 0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:47.679 Now we're looking at a lot of different things we 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.080 can do. We're looking at a lot of different things 0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:53.480 we can do running back, wide receiver combos, tight end 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:58.119 running back combos. We're talking about confusing a lot of 0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:00.840 defenses out there and put a lot of fear into 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:01.440 some DV. 0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:04.000 One thing we didn't point out. And I'm sure it 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.399 was in the back of their mind. What in the 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:11.800 world if they had done nothing? What if CD got hurt? Yeah, 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:12.439 who's your. 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.720 I think that was probably in the front of their mind, 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:15.840 not the back of their mind. 0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.480 Well, and I didn't even think that. I just I 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:20.160 didn't need we needed more. 0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:23.960 I think you always should. You always have to look 0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:26.880 at every position that way. What if that guy gets hurt? 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:31.200 Then you listen to Bill Parcell's press conferences, he would 0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:32.359 say that all the time. 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.800 I must admit, I never think that way, And you're right, 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:37.880 you should think that way. And I never thought that way, 0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:39.160 but you should, I agree with. 0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.679 That's the number one thing is you're putting a roster together. 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:43.440 It's okay, what if I lose that guy? 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:46.560 And then what so your thoughts on pickings? 0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:47.679 I was. 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.000 I love the talent, no doubt about it. And I think, 0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:52.959 you know, this is pretty predictable of what I'm going 0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:57.800 to say. I saw last year the first At that time, 0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:01.600 I saw the first chink in his armor. He seemed 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:05.320 to have a bad attitude, and I think at the 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:10.159 time things were going pretty well in Pittsburgh when he 0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:13.879 started to have these issues with either the team or 0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:17.840 with the media. And I recall one incident where he 0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.200 was sitting in the weight room and he wouldn't do interviews, 0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:22.560 but he was just sitting in there by himself. I 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.359 don't know what had happened at that time. Did he 0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.760 and Russell Wilson get into it. I have no idea 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.679 what that was all about. I'm hoping whatever it was, 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.280 that it's over. But at that time he had an 0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:35.479 attitude issue, and if I'm not mistaken, that has a 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.080 lot to do with why Pittsburgh was able to put 0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:43.800 him in the rearview mirror gladly. So whatever whatever was happening, 0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:48.479 then there don't bring that here. You know, Let this 0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:52.080 be you opportunity for a fresh start. You know, it 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.720 helped me moving from Dallas to New York. Everything the 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:58.840 narrative on me changed when I went to New York. 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:02.359 Let's let that happened for him here, because he's stepping 0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.240 into a good situation to where you still got damn 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.520 good quarterback here. You've got a brand new start with 0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:12.240 this entire team, a new coaching staff, all of that 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:13.320 is going on right now. 0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.800 You can be a part of that resurgence here at 0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.000 the start. Let's hope that's how he looks at this. 0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:21.000 How but from a talent standpoint. 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.439 Talent standpoint, you can't beat it. I wouldn't say that 0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:26.720 he's better than CD, but I would say he's damn good, 0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:30.199 and I would say he'd be probably the best number 0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:32.240 two receiver you can have in the NFL. 0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:33.600 Did you look into your big Green? 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:40.920 So a choice of him or Amari Cooper? Was that 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.440 kind of what the choice came down to, probably because 0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:45.720 a Cooper was the guy in free agency that would 0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:46.359 be available. 0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:48.600 But I think they're going with youth here. 0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:54.119 The price was twenty eight versus thirty thirty one, probably 0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:58.040 forty one or three two, and the cap hit. 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.040 Twenty eight? Where are you getting twenty eight? 0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:03.440 Who did I sit twenty eight? 0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:07.679 You said twenty eight versus twenty four? Twenty four. Yeah, yeah, 0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:10.040 I mean you're talking eight year difference probably and well 0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:10.439 to it. 0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:13.680 And you're probably talking eight million dollars different too, because 0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:14.679 miners standing. 0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:16.560 For this one season. But you are paying the price 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:17.440 of a third round draft. 0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:20.240 So what's the price of a third and a fifth? 0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:23.400 You get a six back. Hey, here's a guy on 0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:25.760 a one year deal. You know how you get your 0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:27.160 third round draft pick back? 0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:30.640 Compensatory if you know, No, you get your third round 0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:32.840 draft pick back, just like the Cowboys have done in 0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.080 the draft just last year. In the draft where you 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:37.160 trade down five spots in the first round, you pick 0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:38.800 up a third round pick. That's how you get the 0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.760 third round or back. So people talk about the third round. Oh, 0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:44.120 give me up a third round pick. That's a high 0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:47.520 price to pay. No, it's your move back five spots. 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:49.240 I mean, let's say you have a decent year and 0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:51.480 you got the twenty fourth pick, just like two years ago, 0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:53.480 you had a twelve win season. Of the twenty fourth pick, 0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.360 you moved down to twenty nine, and now you've got 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.320 a starting center as well as a starting tackle. 0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:01.480 And since it's in the future, it doesn't hurt like 0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:05.200 had you done that two weeks ago you would have said, 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:08.400 oh my god. But now it's in twenty twenty six, 0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:12.560 and then the fifth is twenty twenty seven. And the 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:16.840 difference is he counts three point six million against your cap. 0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:19.880 Marie Cooper was looking for double. 0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:23.040 Digits, so I'll see how he's going to get that. 0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.160 And I don't. Well, that's why he's locked there, And. 0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:29.960 Because the market for those veteran wide receivers right now is, 0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:31.760 you know, five or six million dollars a. 0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:35.200 Well, until somebody that this juncture and fred receiver hurt, 0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:37.920 and then that's why he's over there. You go, yeah, 0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:42.280 so the cap hit, and I know it's only one year, 0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:46.920 but what if you know, you never know. But again, 0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:49.560 if he has a good year and he goes into 0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:52.160 free agency, you're going to get a fourth back for 0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:56.520 sure if he has a good year. So from his standpoint, 0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.600 I'm guarantee you when he went up and talked to 0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:05.200 Jerry Jones after the conference call, Jerry'll welcome him and 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.960 then I'll say, hey, look, you're in the last year 0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:12.920 of your contract. You got an opportunity to market yourself 0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:17.960 if you have a good year. And I'm sure he 0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:21.760 was told that we're not putting up with any monkey buss. 0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:26.960 I immediately got an email from his PR people, just 0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:31.320 a friendly little hey, we represent George Pickens and anytime 0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:34.600 you guess, if you want to do anything with George, 0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:35.960 just give us a holler. 0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:36.360 Okay. 0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:39.760 So they're playing playing that game here as they should. 0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:42.760 And somebody talked to him, and I guarantee you before 0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:46.080 he did the conference call, Schottenheimer talked to him. Okay, 0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:51.600 it was a twelve minute conference call. Six times he 0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:56.080 mentioned being a part of a winning culture. Now where 0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:59.160 do you think that came from? The head coach? Talk 0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.400 to him right when I heard that. It's like, oh, 0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:07.640 you moved Michael Parson's locker next to Dak. How about 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:11.600 the other side. It's open. Put him there and let 0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:16.840 him see what Dak does. You know, CDs find everybody's 0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:19.520 worried about. Oh, they're going to have troubles spreading the 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:24.640 ball around. This guy's got to mind himself. He's making 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:28.520 as a base salary the most he's made in his career. 0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.840 This is his fourth year, last year in his rookie contract. 0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:34.720 If he wants a big, multi year deal, he's got 0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:37.480 to have a good season and to have a good season. 0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:39.600 You got to mind your p's and q's. 0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:44.880 At twenty four years old, that will not fall on 0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:45.520 deaf ears. 0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:46.120 I don't believe. 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:47.280 I don't think so easy. 0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:47.560 Old. 0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:49.840 Yeah, if he's a little bit older, then he might 0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:53.400 come in with say, I make right right, I'm okay, I've. 0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:54.240 Done this, I've done that. 0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:59.120 But I think last year, as he reflected back on 0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:04.959 how he acted, pretty sure he feels I can't. I 0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:07.840 can't bring that here, right, I can't bring that to 0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:11.160 whatever team I'm going to. First of all, you know, 0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:16.320 Mike Thomas hell of a coach. I'm surprised that he was. 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:19.040 He felt that there was right to do what he 0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:21.960 did there because Mike Thomas a hell of a coach 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.320 and we always talk about how he brings the best 0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:28.000 out of his players, So that that was a baffling 0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:31.560 thing for me. For him to act that way to 0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:33.920 a coach that's damn good coach, and I'm sure was 0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:38.200 very direct with him. I'm pretty sure here we're going 0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:41.120 to be just as direct. We don't have time for 0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.880 lack of communication or miscommunication. This is the time for 0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:48.560 you and this organization to get back to where we 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:51.320 need to be. And it's a resurgence time for not 0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:53.440 just him, but for this organization as well. 0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:53.800 Well. 0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:59.680 I heard his impression here was really good. What people 0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:04.800 thought of them. So maybe you mentioned pr people his agent. 0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.800 They talk to him and go, hey, this is really 0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:11.720 important that you fit in right. And and when I 0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:14.320 kept hearing the winning culture, and he did it on 0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:16.880 his own, you know. And that's kind of how he 0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:21.360 was answering questions. And he may not said a lot, 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:26.880 but what he said he didn't overstep his bounds. He 0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:32.560 didn't cause any problems. So to start off, which caused me, 0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:39.080 what what did you say? Your thing was about slim pickings. 0:33:40.040 --> 0:33:43.120 My headline and my my column for Friday was let's 0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:49.800 give Pickens a chance, So peace pickings. I just wanted 0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:56.520 to make sure anyway now here. 0:33:57.280 --> 0:33:58.000 That's why he's. 0:33:59.640 --> 0:33:59.800 Here. 0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:03.680 That's the other thing. And what the cowboys were looking for. 0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:08.520 Remember Schottenheimer said, we need some juice. I don't know 0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:12.160 that Amari Cooper gives you juice, right, gives you a 0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:17.439 good possession receiver. I think your big green notebook would 0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:20.360 tell you. I looked it up that his forty times 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:24.120 when he was at the combine was four four seven 0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:32.160 then I saw this stat Since twenty nineteen, the Cowboys 0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:36.640 have not had a wide receiver with at least fifty 0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:41.360 catches averaging at least fifteen yards a catch. This guy 0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:45.920 averaged sixteen point three over his three years with Pittsburgh. 0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:51.319 Then this other stat popped up that they were at 0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:59.080 however accurate. This is they were totally reception yards on 0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:03.440 vertical routes since twenty twenty two when he came in 0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:08.680 the league. Number one Tyreek Hill, number two Justin Jefferson, 0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:12.400 number three George Pickens. 0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:12.880 Nice. 0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:20.640 So he had sixteen one, six hundred and thirty yards 0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:24.200 in those three years on vertical route. Somebody can get 0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:26.640 down the field. So it goes back to what we 0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:30.080 were talking about. You got c. D. Lamb on one side, 0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:32.759 you got him on the other side. If you put 0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:36.200 Cavante Turpin in the slot and you put Blue at 0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:41.600 running back, now who you doubling? Right? And you're not 0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:44.520 going to cover Blue in a in a pass route 0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:48.319 with a linebacker, right, because that's usually what happens. Right, 0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:50.400 It's got to be at least the safety. 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.880 And let's let's not forget about Ferguson, and that I 0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:57.719 do not forget about This is going to open up 0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:01.040 the game for him as well. Right, I hope he's 0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:03.640 gotten this stuff together as far as his blocking, and 0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:05.320 as you know, it seemed like he was a little 0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:07.120 discombobulated last year. 0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:10.800 This should give him a chance to settle back. 0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.160 Down the way he was two years ago, when he 0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:15.440 seemed to have everything under control, when he was that 0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:18.279 guy that wanted to just go hurt somebody and going 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:19.520 to go out there and be dangerous. 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:20.600 I forget how he said it. 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:23.319 This gives him an opportunity to show what he can 0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:29.200 do as well. Everyone's going down the field. The intermediate 0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:32.040 routes they belonged to the running back and they belonged 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:34.640 to the tight end. That's going to be a really 0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:37.600 nice checkdown for Dak Prescott. 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:41.600 So there should be options there. And I went back 0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:48.480 and look last year, not counting CD, the other wide receivers, 0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:53.880 Jalen Brooks averaged fourteen point eight yards of catch. He 0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:59.279 had twelve catches the year before, Gallop twelve point three, 0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:03.799 and he had thirty four catches in twenty twenty two. 0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:08.799 The highest the highest average in twenty twenty two on 0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:15.279 seven catches was Hilton seventeen point two. I forgot you 0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:16.680 why Wilton I didzoo? 0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:18.759 Yeah, how many catches? 0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:23.759 Seven? And he had seventeen point two And then in 0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:29.840 twenty twenty one Cedric Wilson thirteen point four on forty five, 0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:35.040 and twenty twenty Gallup again fourteen to three on fifty nine. 0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:38.640 So none of these other receivers ever got more than 0:37:38.719 --> 0:37:42.799 fifteen yards a catch, and that includes CD by the way, 0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:47.319 So maybe they got somebody to stretch the field, which 0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:48.759 will open up the running game. 0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:50.279 Take the cap, Take the cap. 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:56.760 Now, the offensive line's got to perform, right, So but anyway, 0:37:56.920 --> 0:37:58.919 I think that was in the back of their mind. 0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:04.200 Also they took into consideration how badly they probably needed that. 0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:09.600 So as far as the reputation coming here, yes, how 0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:13.160 many times in the history of sports have you seen 0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:16.960 guys who have a certain reputation in one city on 0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:19.600 planning for one team, it comes to a new team 0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:22.360 and it's a different situation. 0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:24.000 Happens all the time. 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:24.759 It happens all the. 0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:26.800 Time, like it's not poison. 0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:32.160 Well, and most recently in our city, Kyrie Irving, I 0:38:32.160 --> 0:38:35.880 mean Kyrie Irving has fit in here in Dallas. 0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:39.840 Where everyone had has that leisure, everyone has that legia 0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:42.480 about you know, some of the things that was said 0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.400 and that he believed in things of that nature that 0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:46.200 he he professed. 0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:49.759 To and and he's been a model person here. 0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:51.600 Excellent, excellent. 0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:55.440 He you know, Luca goes down. He's still trying to 0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:58.160 hang in there and take this team to the playoffs. 0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:00.120 I go back in history. What do you think think 0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:02.759 they were saying about this Everson Wallas guy in New 0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:06.360 York when you know he got at odds with this 0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:10.880 Jimmy Johnson did at getting Here's a guy, he's a malcolontent. 0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:14.200 He fraternizes with players, and why wouldn't want him on. 0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:18.080 You as Sometimes it's just the player and the head coach. 0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:21.360 I talked about, you know, Mike Thomas. Much as I 0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:24.720 think he's a great coach, obviously there's something there between 0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:27.799 those two guys that didn't click. I don't think I've 0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:30.640 ever seen a player have a problem with Mike Thomas. 0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:33.759 He did, that doesn't mean he's going to have a 0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:36.280 problem here. Not automatic. 0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:38.680 Why was des Bryant the twenty fifth pick in the draft? 0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:41.879 Why was he still available late in the first round 0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:44.879 because there was a reputation there that he's son coach 0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:48.200 Bull or whatever it might be. And he was fine here, 0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:54.439 you know, more than fine. 0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:55.640 Because everybody wanted to point out his his background. And 0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:59.760 I remember it was maybe the day after the draft. 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:04.280 I was talking to Michael Irvin and if anybody knows 0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:11.799 DEA's background, it was tough growing up Lufkin and he 0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:16.600 went through He went through a lot as a young kid, right, 0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:20.480 And just to sum it up, I found out that 0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:24.800 he never had his own room at home to sleep 0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:27.879 in until he was in the dorm at Oklahoma State 0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:32.880 because he lived with many different people. And Michael Irvin 0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:37.800 told me, he goes this kid should be applauded because 0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:41.759 most kids that went through what he did growing up 0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:47.000 were either dead or in jail, and that he made 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:50.960 it to this point. And Michael was right, because I mean, 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:55.839 he knew about tough ways growing up and so you know. 0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:59.719 Well it made him tough. Yeah, that's what gave him 0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:00.400 to be solved. 0:41:00.440 --> 0:41:03.560 That he had everyone that goes through tough things that 0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:07.200 are not broken, and des was not broken. You know, 0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:09.959 he just had that attitude of a guy that came 0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:13.040 from there. And sometimes that intimidates people because they don't 0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:15.239 know how to talk to a person like that. But 0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:18.120 he's just a guy that wanted to play ball, and 0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:19.320 damn he was good at it. 0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:23.240 And you think about it until Teo got his money. 0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:27.440 He was fine. Then he got paid, and then the 0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:29.320 Prima Donna came out. 0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:33.439 Yeah, I mean, everybody gets paid, doesn't start acting weird. 0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.480 And you know what, I used to call this wide 0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:41.759 receiver group the unreceiver group because nobody was, you know, 0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:45.200 boisterous or I need this or I need that car 0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.200 the at these were the nicest guys ever. 0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:53.600 So what does a guy like this bring to just 0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:55.319 the confidence level? 0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:59.480 Cos I love his cockiness. You know, it's good to 0:41:59.520 --> 0:42:02.520 have confide this and de brash about it. You know, 0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:05.520 he's just a little he's a little more animated than most. 0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:09.799 CD is more cool with his but he's cocky as well. 0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:12.040 And I would love to see these guys on the 0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:14.040 same team together. I can't wait to see him on 0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:17.680 the same field together. I'm hoping. And I'm pretty sure 0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:20.640 we've been through enough here to where the wide receivers 0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:25.240 understand that their group is probably based on the quarterback 0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:28.279 that you have. Besides that offensive line, their group is 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:30.399 probably the most important group on this team. 0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:30.839 Right now. 0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:41.000 I don't know what you guys think of Deontae Johnson. 0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:45.480 He was probably the best wide receiver he was paired 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:48.960 with the Steelers. So CD is going to be the 0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:54.319 absolute best wide receiver he's worked with, no doubt. They 0:42:54.400 --> 0:43:01.720 had Kelvin Austin was a fourth round pick, and then 0:43:02.239 --> 0:43:06.440 I think last year it was Van Jefferson who had 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:08.800 thirty six catch thirty six catches. 0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:10.200 I think no. 0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:13.840 Twenty four catches. Austin had thirty six. So he was 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:18.040 the guy they who if you're playing Pittsburgh, who you 0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:21.560 who you designating? We got to take care of this guy, right, 0:43:22.840 --> 0:43:25.440 So he's in the best situation. 0:43:25.600 --> 0:43:28.200 He brought Mike Williams into it, didn't they did they 0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:30.759 have last year? Last year or some He came in 0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:33.000 late in the year, but it's late last half. 0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:34.359 That's when they were flailing. Yeah. 0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:38.080 Yeah, So and Dak will be the best quarterback he's 0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:43.680 played with true hands down. So if he's got a scent, 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:47.520 any sense, he knows he's in a really good situation, 0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.960 and he acted like it in that conference call. Now 0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:56.120 it's easy to do a conference right, but you know, 0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:59.399 the things he said were what he should have said. 0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:02.480 So to me, he listened to Schottenheimer. 0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:06.960 I'm hoping they understand he and Ceedee Lamb understand what they. 0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:07.760 Can do here together. 0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:09.960 Yeah, they got to understand that they can make it 0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:12.040 can be game changes, man, with. 0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:12.840 The Dallas Cowboys. 0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:15.120 You can be a game chamber with the changer with 0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:18.080 this team. With the draft that we just had and 0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:21.319 the talent. He's young, he's very young. So with the 0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:23.400 talent that we have for a lot of young talent 0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:25.839 here right on this team. Now, man, they have an 0:44:25.840 --> 0:44:27.680 opportunity to really do some great things. 0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:32.960 It reminds me a lot of the Detroit situation. You 0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:33.760 know when when. 0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:37.080 Campbell first got there. They have this opportunity to really 0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:38.240 do something great here. 0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:41.920 And they got some juice on their offense. 0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:42.640 Now they do. 0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:47.400 Okay, we continue with mixed shots in just a moment, 0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:52.239 and a former Cowboy finds a new home when we 0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:52.799 come back. 0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:56.760 Star Sports Tours is the only official fan travel partner 0:44:56.760 --> 0:45:01.040 of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game weekend travel packages 0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:06.080 with pregame, sideline access and photo ops with current players, cheerleaders, 0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:08.880 and Cowboy legends.

He tries out with the 0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:46.319 Raiders over the weekend, and he is signing with the 0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:49.040 Las Vegas Raiders. Must have been a good workout, yes, 0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:52.840 must have been. One thing to note on that you remember. 0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:56.279 After Jalen left the Cowboys, he spent some time with 0:47:56.320 --> 0:47:59.879 the New York Giants. Patrick Graham is the defensive cord 0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:03.520 with the Raiders, and so he would have coached and 0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:06.759 he used to be defensive coordinator with the Giants, so 0:48:06.800 --> 0:48:08.680 he would have coached Jalen in New York. 0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:11.960 So there he is. Do you think I have no idea? 0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:16.680 But apparently it's well enough that he passed the physical 0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:19.239 and passed a tryout, and so now he's getting an 0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:22.400 opportunity with the Raiders after not playing last year. 0:48:22.560 --> 0:48:23.560 The entire season. 0:48:24.440 --> 0:48:27.480 And I take eighty seven back because that's Ferguson's number. 0:48:27.640 --> 0:48:30.760 Yeah, that looks like a number. 0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:34.520 Do you think anyone knows what you're talking about right now? 0:48:34.800 --> 0:48:38.400 Oh? Did I not say that this? Oh? I'm sorry 0:48:38.880 --> 0:48:40.760 you didn't you bring up the number? 0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:42.400 I did, but it was a break. 0:48:43.840 --> 0:48:46.040 Do you expect me to remember all this stuff? 0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:48.800 It was before he went to Tinkle. 0:48:49.800 --> 0:48:54.080 No, I went to look outside, sorry to see if 0:48:54.080 --> 0:48:57.080 I saw a number on the practice field. And I 0:48:57.120 --> 0:48:59.240 did not see a number on the practice field. 0:48:59.560 --> 0:49:02.719 But what's you want to give? Give him some number? 0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:04.279 What are we're trying to give him?

The only ones open is eight, and 0:49:12.760 --> 0:49:16.840 he's probably not getting an eight. And then from eleven 0:49:17.000 --> 0:49:20.919 to twenty is seven out there Diggs. 0:49:20.960 --> 0:49:25.839 Diggs is seven right, and then from you play off, 0:49:26.000 --> 0:49:26.960 he doesn't play defits. 0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:30.080 No, we can we do the college. 0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:33.880 Eleven numbers eleven through twenty, only ones available. 0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:34.920 Twelve. 0:49:35.840 --> 0:49:36.840 He ain't wearing twelve. 0:49:37.600 --> 0:49:39.680 There's a reason that's available now. 0:49:39.840 --> 0:49:47.040 In the eighties eighty through ninety, only ones available eighty two. 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:52.840 It's not a bad they're not getting I'm giving. 0:49:52.880 --> 0:49:54.640 They're not giving Witton's number to them. 0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:59.560 They're not righting written I forgot when he forgets Witten. 0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:02.160 Now you gotta go back to to bail. 0:50:02.520 --> 0:50:07.200 I make Marquis Ball a very handsome offer.

And 0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:58.360 if I were him and pickings were able, that was 0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:02.960 willing to give me money. I'm gonna take that money, 0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.800 and I'm gonna say, you know what, you can have fourteen. 0:51:06.520 --> 0:51:08.399 Yeah, but some of these guys along you have. 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:11.040 To then you have to move two numbers in one 0:51:11.080 --> 0:51:12.840 in that room. 0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:15.280 Some of these guys are going to Mickey. 0:51:15.360 --> 0:51:19.320 You don't have to limit him to numbers one through 0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:21.359 nineteen or eighty through eighty nine. 0:51:21.920 --> 0:51:22.239 They can. 0:51:22.280 --> 0:51:25.640 It's an open field now where wide receivers can wear 0:51:25.760 --> 0:51:30.120 all the way up to number forty nine.

Zero? 0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:38.560 Zero? 0:52:38.719 --> 0:52:43.320 Now he's zero him and Rowdy Mackey. 0:52:43.760 --> 0:52:44.839 Rowdy's double zero. 0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:47.520 He's double zero. Rowdy's doubles. 0:52:49.800 --> 0:52:51.640 Shame on me for not paying attention. 0:52:51.920 --> 0:52:52.840 I'm just letting you know. 0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:56.279 Yeah, thirteen, thirteen is a good number. But I would 0:52:56.360 --> 0:52:59.480 I would. I promise you I would go fourteen, and 0:52:59.480 --> 0:53:02.160 I would go hard at Marquise Bell. 0:53:02.360 --> 0:53:05.120 Who's five Brian Ainger, Oh that's right. 0:53:05.200 --> 0:53:10.920 He's your punter and he's got seniority. Yes, like fourteen 0:53:11.000 --> 0:53:15.920 years of the league. Yeah, I would go fourteen. 0:53:17.320 --> 0:53:19.360 Just pay for it, buddy, just pay for it. I 0:53:19.400 --> 0:53:22.520 mean to take that money and he'll take another jersey. 0:53:22.960 --> 0:53:25.720 He looks good in any in any number, I would. 0:53:25.600 --> 0:53:26.680 Go to two. 0:53:27.239 --> 0:53:27.439 Yeah. 0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:33.480 One is had that for like what a couple of months? Yeah, 0:53:34.719 --> 0:53:37.759 because that was Jordan Lewis right. So when Jordan left, 0:53:37.800 --> 0:53:38.680 he jumped into two. 0:53:39.440 --> 0:53:40.680 Who jumped into two one? 0:53:41.880 --> 0:53:42.480 Thomas? 0:53:42.840 --> 0:53:46.760 Yes, and for a safety number forty one still open. 0:53:48.440 --> 0:53:53.080 Yeah, fourteen is the way to go, guys, I take 0:53:53.120 --> 0:53:54.040 fourteen or thirteen. 0:53:54.640 --> 0:53:55.439 You don't want two? 0:53:56.560 --> 0:54:00.000 Two's not bad, ain't bad too, ain't bad at all. 0:54:00.440 --> 0:54:03.240 So no, he's got some choices. He's got some choices. 0:54:03.400 --> 0:54:04.160 It's up to him. 0:54:04.320 --> 0:54:07.640 The eighty numbers don't work for him, not right, No, No, 0:54:07.800 --> 0:54:09.000 it slows him down. 0:54:10.560 --> 0:54:11.120 Too heavy. 0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:15.839 Two's a real light number, light on the that's too much. 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:21.239 Yeah, it's like wearing black high tops and basketball. 0:54:22.920 --> 0:54:27.120 I would say I would go hard at Jaalen Tober 0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:29.120 for that old college number. 0:54:29.200 --> 0:54:32.879 You know, say, hey, you know, so, what's Jalen gonna wear? 0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:40.800 Then he figured out thirteen. Michael gallops old. 0:54:41.000 --> 0:54:45.880 Michael Marque's bell would look good in a forty plus number. 0:54:46.080 --> 0:54:47.240 It'll make him look bigger. 0:54:47.360 --> 0:54:52.400 Yeah, that's why linebackers he should wear big numbers in 0:54:52.440 --> 0:54:53.000 the fifties. 0:54:53.080 --> 0:54:56.680 But he's also but he's safeties also can take forties. 0:54:56.800 --> 0:54:59.120 Yeah, take big numbers. 0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:05.160 Yeah, Bill Bates, Yeah, that'd be nice. Charlie Waters is 0:55:05.200 --> 0:55:11.400 forty one, Cliff Harris is forty three. I like forty 0:55:12.760 --> 0:55:18.439 forty for Marquee spell Yeah, okay, lip Gey, I think 0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:21.760 it makes more. The most sense is Marque's just flipping 0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:23.760 the numbers from fourteen to forty one. 0:55:23.920 --> 0:55:24.960 There you go, you know. 0:55:25.120 --> 0:55:26.960 I think that's what we've at. 0:55:27.640 --> 0:55:31.080 We got it, okay, See we should have. We should 0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:36.759 have had Mike or Bucky on the guys in equipment. 0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:41.759 They'll tell us about Jersey, they tell us, and you 0:55:41.800 --> 0:55:46.000 can double up daring OTA's strength and condition. 0:55:46.200 --> 0:55:48.319 We have Bucket, We'll have Bucky on over here telling 0:55:48.400 --> 0:55:50.000 us all the Jerseys. 0:55:49.680 --> 0:55:54.040 Weekend right, home opener. Who's going to be against if 0:55:54.040 --> 0:55:59.000 they're opening? No, that was the the opener, the home opener. Okay, Okay, 0:55:59.080 --> 0:56:04.000 So you're opening on September fourth at Philadelphia. In all likelihood, 0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:08.640 your first home game will be Sunday, September fourteenth, it. 0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:11.640 Will be somebody out of the division. Yeah. Could they 0:56:11.760 --> 0:56:13.640 be somewhere for sure? 0:56:13.760 --> 0:56:17.759 Because you've just played a division, right, and so Cardinals 0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:20.399 Cardinals at home? 0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:28.560 And second game, Yeah, could be Minnesota, depending on what 0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:30.160 they decide for Thanksgiving. 0:56:31.840 --> 0:56:36.560 It could be anybody could Because the Marquee game is 0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:40.680 going to be that Thursday night, right, The Market game 0:56:40.760 --> 0:56:42.880 is going to be that Thursday night, right, and so 0:56:43.000 --> 0:56:45.120 whatever happens after that the week after, Man, if we're 0:56:45.120 --> 0:56:50.399 going to eliminate the Giants, then division games, I'm with you. 0:56:50.400 --> 0:56:52.920 It's going to be a Cardinals, and I don't think. 0:56:52.760 --> 0:56:54.920 They It's not going to be the Packers. It's not 0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:56.400 going to be the Chiefs or. 0:56:58.160 --> 0:57:01.600 You got You're starting off here on Thursday night. You know, 0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:04.040 now we got to kind of chill on the next week. 0:57:04.440 --> 0:57:06.600 It's going to be and I don't mean the cards bad, 0:57:06.640 --> 0:57:10.160 but as far as marketing marketing is concerned, it's going 0:57:10.239 --> 0:57:10.400 to be. 0:57:10.480 --> 0:57:14.480 It'll still be a three twenty five kickoff. So you're 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:15.200 not noon kicking. 0:57:15.239 --> 0:57:20.120 You're probably not playing back to back division I would 0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:23.640 not say probably not playing back to back night super 0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:27.919 Bowl contenders talking about our Super Bowl participants, right, yeah, 0:57:27.960 --> 0:57:33.200 I agree, So that eliminates Kansas City Packers. 0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:37.760 No, say that, say that that's right, that's out of 0:57:37.880 --> 0:57:38.480 history to it. 0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:40.640 Yeah, so I think it's. 0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:46.040 Which you know, is another another consideration on Thanksgiving. Go 0:57:46.160 --> 0:57:50.360 back to nineteen ninety four packers Packers. 0:57:50.760 --> 0:57:54.120 Yeah, in twenty twenty one when the Cowboys played Tampa 0:57:54.160 --> 0:57:55.600 on that opener, uh huh. 0:57:56.280 --> 0:57:58.400 The following the following. 0:57:58.000 --> 0:58:01.160 Week, they were on the road again against the Chargers, 0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:02.880 if you remember correctly, So we did. 0:58:02.760 --> 0:58:05.480 Back to back road games. It could be a road. 0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:07.920 Game, yeah, it could be a road first home opener 0:58:08.040 --> 0:58:08.880 was against Philly. 0:58:09.000 --> 0:58:11.920 But if we're looking at the first home game, whether 0:58:11.960 --> 0:58:15.040 it's yeah, whether it's the fourteen. 0:58:14.760 --> 0:58:16.280 What was what was the home game, Chris? 0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:20.520 It was Philly. Okay, so it went Tampa Charge at 0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:21.560 Tampa and. 0:58:21.480 --> 0:58:25.240 That was on I think it was a Wednesday, correct, Yes, 0:58:25.520 --> 0:58:28.760 that was the thirty one, twenty nine loss to Tom 0:58:28.800 --> 0:58:32.640 Brady and then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then we 0:58:32.680 --> 0:58:33.920 played at the Chargers. 0:58:33.920 --> 0:58:34.959 We won that game on. 0:58:34.880 --> 0:58:37.880 A field, Sure, yeah we should. 0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:41.520 Can they can? They scheduling something easy? 0:58:42.480 --> 0:58:44.080 That's that's about as easy as you're going to get. 0:58:44.640 --> 0:58:48.200 Christian hey man. 0:58:48.200 --> 0:58:51.720 We went road, road, home home. That was the actually 0:58:52.040 --> 0:58:55.280 three home games in a row. So went two on 0:58:55.320 --> 0:58:57.800 the road and three at home. To kick off the 0:58:57.840 --> 0:58:58.800 twenty twenty one it. 0:58:58.760 --> 0:59:01.040 Would be college football. 0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:04.680 I think I thinks. 0:59:03.560 --> 0:59:07.680 I'm thinking Cardinals. Okay, Now you want to predict the 0:59:07.720 --> 0:59:13.320 preseason games. I got the Rams at the Rams.
