Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 4: Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 5: Good morning, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Friday,

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 5: December thirteenth. Friday the thirteenth. Is that even thing I wonder?

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess it is still a thing for

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 5: the younger generation they even know what that is. I mean,

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 5: I never actually watched any of those movies, but I've

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 5: heard about them, of course. But it's been that kind

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 5: of season I guess for the Cowboys to have a

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 5: Friday the thirteenth type of year for them. So that's

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 5: what it is. This is where we are, Cowboys taking

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 5: on the Panthers. Let's talk about that. Let's talk about

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 5: whatever you guys want. And you know, I'm sure it'll

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 5: be things that I don't want to talk about, but

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 5: that's where we are in the season. You guys have

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 5: have fought through it. So whatever it is, I'll do

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 5: my best to kind of, you know, go along with it,

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 5: because I understand we're not exactly just breaking down the

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 5: x's and o's of what Carolina's defense does and all that,

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 5: but it's more about who's going to play, how do

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 5: they look, and what does this mean? Everything is really

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 5: a rollover. What does it mean for next year? That's

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 5: why they overshown injury was so devastating for a lot

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 5: of fans, just because it seems like it's one of

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 5: those that could carry over. It probably will carry over.

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: But like I said on yesterday show, my brief conversation

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 5: with Overshown was don't count me out. Tell everybody you know,

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 5: don't count me out. So I'm not counting them out,

32
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 5: and I guess what he's saying. He's talking about next season.

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 5: But then again, they got to be smart about it.

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: They can't rush anybody back, and it's important for him

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 5: to get right when it's time to get right. Aight,

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 5: A A eight five, five two two nine seven is

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: the number to call. We have a couple of callers

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 5: already on the line. Let's start us off with Anthony

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 5: and Miami. I'm sure he's in a bad mood. Anthony,

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 5: what's up?

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 6: Nick?

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 7: The quick?

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 6: My guy, My guy, it is real. I'm good. It

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 6: is rare that I called twice, but I liked it

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 6: so much, I'm gonna call you again. I already gave

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 6: my Carolina stuff yesterday today as the press of positivity

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 6: and always saying that I love everybody's calls, and there's

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 6: some truth in what everybody says. I got to dispute

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 6: some things and challenging. Rather, I ain't gonna dispute them.

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 6: I'm gonna challenge some things. I heard it three callers

51
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 6: after me, Mister Rolston Vegas, who I've agreed with, who

52
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 6: I've called out his name a couple of times. I

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 6: don't talk to Rob or she Rob whatever, see how

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 6: he talks right interaction because I'm not on the story liners.

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 6: I'm an off storyline team, but I'm not on the storyliner,

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 6: so I don't get that interaction with a lot of people.

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 6: He says the things yesterday, and that's his thoughts and

58
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 6: his opinions, and I respect those, But some of the

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 6: things he said I really don't agree with. Now, the Joneses,

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 6: I've defended them before, but I don't need to defend

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 6: the Joneses. They don't need my opinions, my defense or anything.

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 6: So when you say all in, we've talked about that

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 6: at the appropriate time. That was when it was time

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 6: to really talk about it. In the off season when

65
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 6: he said it, I never really I agree with you.

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 6: It was about players. We talked about the youth movement,

67
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 6: what they were gonna use. You've already spent money on people,

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 6: so you depending on those guys and you already all in.

69
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 6: That's what I thought. Mister Jones meant, wow, could be wrong.

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 6: So said something about deferring money and we're really not

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 6: nothing because we don't defer other teams do it? Blah

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: blah blah.

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

74
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 6: I saw Tom Downey and I'm gonna do too. I

75
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 6: saw I heard Jeff Kavanaugh with Jessing them talk about

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 6: how you make a hundred million, you know, and then

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 6: and what you gotta do. You gotta restructure for people.

78
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 6: You gotta cut to this and that, well, that money's

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 6: gonna have to come do. You gotta pay the devil

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 6: after a while. And I agree with you on that

81
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 6: because that's true and the Cowboys have already done that.

82
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 6: And I'll tell you how I think when people say that,

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 6: not saying rob or what a lot of people will

84
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 6: look with Philly doing. Look at what Detroit. Detroit take

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 6: them out because they've never done anything, and they always

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 6: get a top five pick or something like that, So

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 6: they build their team that way. Philly. Now they did it,

88
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 6: but when they wanted to want a super Bowl, they

89
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 6: want to with a backup quarterback. Matter answers, The rounds

90
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 6: might be the only one you can look at saying that,

91
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 6: But you didn't have O'Dell and Sue didn't make a

92
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 6: lot of money when you brought it in. So what

93
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 6: has to happen. The players that you invest in got

94
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 6: to do the job. Your coaches got to do the

95
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 6: job and do a better job. When the Cowboys twenty

96
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 6: one and twenty two, and this is the backup what

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 6: I'm saying, twenty one and twenty two, let's take those years.

98
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 6: You were good, you were great. Ye had three twelve

99
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 6: or five seasons, You went to the playoffs. San Francisco

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 6: beat you by seven. So all this blowing out stuff,

101
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 6: nobody threw the Cowboys out. They were right there, but

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 6: they wasn't. They didn't play smart enough to Randy Gregor's

103
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 6: and people like, they didn't play smart enough, and the

104
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 6: coaches didn't have them prepared. As Mike McCarthy said later,

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 6: they wasn't prepared to play the game, which is that's

106
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 6: kind of assinine to say something like that. All right, Okay,

107
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 6: twenty two he retired.

108
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 5: Huh Now, I'm just saying, let's let's let's move it. Like,

109
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 5: tell me, tell me, I hear the point, I hear

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 5: the message. Tell me tell me what you have a

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 5: question or.

112
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 6: The Okay, okay, your players and your coaches. Your players

113
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 6: and your coaches really have to do that because you

114
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 6: can invest in people. You invested in Brandon Cooks, You're

115
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 6: invested in Stephan Gilmore. These are Super Bowl winners and

116
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 6: people like that. So you did that. So unless your

117
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 6: players and your coaches do it, and you were good

118
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 6: enough to do it, because your records showed that you

119
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 6: didn't show up. So mister Jones already did that. He

120
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 6: already invested. So you can't say you can spend one

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 6: hundred million and you're gonna guarantee yourself the super Bowl.

122
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 6: That's all I'm saying. Let's just have a more positive

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 6: approach when it comes to the Cowboys. The Joneses are

124
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 6: gonna make the decision. They're gonna make the decision. So

125
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 6: we're gonna be fans, Oh we're not, and we're gonna

126
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 6: support them, Oh we're not. That's all I wanted to

127
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 6: say no harm in taking for anybody going to make.

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 5: That, appreciate it, okay, thank you, you know, And and

129
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: I there's a lot to that. I think this is

130
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 5: going back to the call yesterday that with with Rob.

131
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: I don't think he's not talking about not supporting the

132
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: team and all that. I think what he was talking about,

133
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 5: more than anything was ways that you can be competitive.

134
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 5: Don't sit here and tell us that you can't be competitive.

135
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 5: Here's some ways to be competitive, so you can create money,

136
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 5: so you can go and do some some things. And

137
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: and there's I agree with some of it, but I

138
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 5: do think that that you can't just keep saying, well,

139
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 5: this is how this is the approach every year. You're

140
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 5: just going to keep doing that. You're going to keep

141
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: taking out, you know, this loan and just keep pushing

142
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: it pushing. It doesn't work that way all the time.

143
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: But I think there's a middle ground. And I think

144
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 5: that that there's times where you say, all right, yes,

145
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 5: we're up against it here, but this player right here

146
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 5: that's available. We could get him if we needed to,

147
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: we really wanted to, we could, we could get him.

148
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: It's against our our model, it's against our playing overall

149
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: but let's make an exception here, and here's how we

150
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: do that. And I think that that's something I think

151
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 5: the Cowboys can do that. They don't do it as much, probably,

152
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 5: but there's got to be some kind of middle ground.

153
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 5: But but I you know, you can't just say, well,

154
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: this is how they free up all this money. There's

155
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 5: a reason why they They can't do that all the time.

156
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: And you know, you have you do have to field

157
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 5: a roster of fifty three players. I mean that's or

158
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 5: at least you know, that's what was told to me. Yeah,

159
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 5: last year in free agency, we could do some things,

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 5: but next year, twenty twenty five, we're gonna have forty

161
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: five players on our team. So you know that that

162
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: doesn't seem, you know, do it, especially in the season

163
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: like this when they've probably played about seventy five. All Right,

164
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 5: Irene in Falls Church, Virginia, Irene, what's up?

165
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 8: Hey?

166
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: How are you good?

167
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: How are you good?

168
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 9: Good?

169
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 10: Hay, I'm not going to get into the I wasn't

170
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 10: listening enough to be able to comment. I saw some

171
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 10: texts about it, but anyway, I just a quick story

172
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 10: and then a question if people want to answer. So

173
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 10: when I was in college. First year of college, I'm

174
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 10: sitting at the back of my class. I have my

175
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 10: Cowboys thermos. Somebody walks in and sees it and it's

176
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 10: just like Cowboys and I'm like, uh, what Washington Carolina Panthers.

177
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 10: My question for people that that was the first time

178
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 10: that in like a non really traditional rival ever got

179
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 10: in my face about being a Cowboys fan. So my

180
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 10: question for people, if they want to answer, is what's

181
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 10: the most random team that's shown you hate so not

182
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 10: including our division rivals or even like the Steelers, Packers

183
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 10: and forty nine ers. That's what I'm interested, all right.

184
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: By all right, random team that just to give some hate. Here,

185
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 5: here's my thing to that. I don't really have a

186
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: problem with that. If your answer is a team, it's

187
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 5: it's the ones that say I hate the Cowboys. They

188
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 5: sucked them, bye bye bye. All right, well, who's your team?

189
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 5: I don't really have a team. I just watched the

190
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 5: game sometimes I don't, you know. I'm like, well, then

191
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: all right, you can go. You can shut the front

192
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 5: door because like, you know, nobody cares about that. You know, either,

193
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 5: you know, come to the party, bring something to the part,

194
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 5: don't just don't just walk in and say, oh, I

195
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: don't right, I don't really ca. I'm just here. I'm

196
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 5: just here for them for the good times. No bring something,

197
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 5: That's what it is. If you're a Panthers fans, Fine,

198
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 5: they need them. You know we were there last year.

199
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 5: They they need fans. So yeah, I mean that that's

200
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: that's cool. I mean, at least at least they have,

201
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 5: you know, Fanny, if you want to talk about the Cowboys, fine,

202
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's Irene's question is there's been some random

203
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 5: random teams. I don't know if it gets better than

204
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 5: that of Carolina fans. They you know, especially talking to

205
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 5: the Cowboys. And I'm sure like we've been to a

206
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 5: super Bowl before you got or something crappy like that,

207
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 5: not that they wanted ever. All right, let's go to

208
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 5: Paul in Vancouver. How are you good?

209
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 8: Hapy Friday? You too too, Thanks, try to be quick.

210
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 8: Got a few things. So I enjoyed the show yesterday.

211
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 8: I just I would hope people would, you know, look

212
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 8: at the facts before they criticize coaches and ask about

213
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 8: new I know we're not we're trying to get out

214
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 8: of you know, having talking about changes and things like that,

215
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 8: but I really like what coach McCarthy is doing. You know,

216
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 8: he's the pre snap penalties are down. He went to

217
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 8: Washington now coach Dan Quinn with an underman team. I

218
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 8: like how he's changed the play calling lately with you know,

219
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 8: he's calls these plays on the first down to get

220
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 8: Cooper rush out of these long they're long. So I

221
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 8: feel a lot of positives and it's a great thing

222
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 8: when you know you're the start. Players are kind of

223
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 8: advocating for him, and yeah, you know, I just see

224
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 8: way too many positives. And if you look over the

225
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 8: last you know, over the last years, you know, Bill Belichick,

226
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 8: he he was part of, you know, the one of

227
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 8: the both talent poor teams in the league and he

228
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 8: had a big hand in it. McCarthy's won twelve games

229
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 8: three years in a row.

230
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: Over the years.

231
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 8: We talked about safety being an issue in the middle

232
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 8: of the defense, like he's coming and fixed all these things, right, So,

233
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 8: I just seen way too many positives. Yeah, So I

234
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 8: want to say that just had two questions if you

235
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 8: don't mind. So, like, I was really expecting Jalen Brooks

236
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 8: to take a step forward this year. He looked in

237
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 8: the preseason seemed like he had a connection with Cooper Rush.

238
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 8: I really think him and guys like Tyler Guide need

239
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 8: to play. So he let me know what's going on there.

240
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 8: And it doesn't seem like Jaien Brooks has much of

241
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 8: a routree. Everything's kind of deep, So hopefully I'm wrong

242
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 8: on that, but I was really expecting more there and

243
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 8: give him. That was one of Carolina this week. I

244
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 8: never thought that Darren Woodson's last game would be that

245
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 8: playoff game two thousand and three, So I've always kind

246
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 8: of wondered to myself, like, if you would have stuck

247
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 8: around for another year, he could have played with Dware

248
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 8: in the five class. Have you ever thought that? And

249
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 8: I asked you a while ago what your favorite live

250
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 8: player was. I'm like, I didn't even realize that you

251
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 8: watch every game live, So do you have a favorite

252
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 8: play in Darren Woodson's career. I just want to yeah, yeah,

253
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 8: I want to share mine if yeah, quickly could because

254
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 8: then his last year in three, we were playing the

255
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 8: Bills and it look like a really rock them soccer

256
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 8: game was like ten six something like that, where we won. Uh,

257
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 8: they had a running back the Bills Travis Henry he

258
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 8: broke a run in the middle. This is that two

259
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 8: hundred and thirty back like he was kind of in

260
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 8: a Marshaun Lynch style, like he was a beast, like

261
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 8: thirteen hundred yard year and Darren Woodson just came out

262
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 8: of nowhere and just waid him out. Yeah, and that's

263
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 8: when I thought to myself, I'm like, he's just as

264
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 8: good as he wasn't year twelve, as he was in

265
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 8: year one, a year two of it.

266
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, So he was.

267
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 8: A rare guy. He was nice seeing you and Dallas

268
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 8: and nice thing.

269
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.

270
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 8: Well yeah, him in the media and what's been doing

271
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 8: so well, So all the best to him.

272
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate it, Thank you. Thanks Paul ill love

273
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 5: talking about Darren Woodson, no doubt about it, and a

274
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: lot of good stuff. There a lot of positive encouragement

275
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 5: for for what Mike McCarthy's doing. That not everybody does that,

276
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 5: and there are some things that you can point out

277
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 5: and you did that, so you know, there's that's that's

278
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 5: the thing about a play caller, you know, he gets

279
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 5: talked about that that one possession in the fourth quarter

280
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 5: when there it's five minutes to go and they ran

281
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 5: it on first down for thirteen or fourteen yards and

282
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: then after that pass past pass and had to punt.

283
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: And so that's what you know him as a play caller.

284
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 5: That's what you get talked about throughout the game. I

285
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 5: thought they did a pretty pretty good job. They were prepared.

286
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 5: They scored first first drive of the first quarter, first

287
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 5: drive the third quarter. That was has happened all year.

288
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 5: So anyways, nice nice call there. As for Jalen Brooks,

289
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 5: you mentioned him, I think right now, I mean, he's

290
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 5: he'll play, he'll play some, but you're you really got

291
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 5: to see something in Mingo and and and and they

292
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: they want to see that here in these last four games,

293
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 5: just because if you're gonna if you're gonna get something

294
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 5: out of a fourth round pick, you know, he was

295
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: a second round pick two years ago. He's a fourth

296
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 5: round you're gonna give a fourth round pick in next

297
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 5: year's draft. So when he gets to training camp, he

298
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 5: he needs to be far and away better than a

299
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: fourth round pick would be. This would be his third season,

300
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 5: he'd have a few games with the Cowboys, and and

301
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 5: and hopefully a summer with Dak and things like that,

302
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: so you know he he's gonna have to be advanced,

303
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: and so you want you want him to get as

304
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: much as you can, and he'll plays somewhat the same

305
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: position as as Jalen Brooks. And then as for Darren

306
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: woodson story on the field and all that, I mean, yeah,

307
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 5: he was. You know. The ironic part is that he

308
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 5: you know, he set the record for most tackles and

309
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: Cowboys career and he set it, you know, in the

310
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: middle of the game. With that, Emmitt Smith also broke

311
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: the record. So that was with Walter Payton's record. That

312
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: was just Darren Woodson's career in a nutshell, that his

313
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 5: one of his best un field moments was actually trumped

314
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 5: by Emmett's on field moment. And that story of Darren

315
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 5: Woodson's squer but a touchdown by the forty nine ers

316
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 5: was was a play I always remember for Woodson, how

317
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 5: impressive he is. Jerry Rice caught a slant in the

318
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety five game over the middle. They got a

319
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 5: matched up with the linebacker. He took it to the

320
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 5: house for about eighty yards right off the first drive

321
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: of the game. But Darren Woodson is chasing Jerry Rice

322
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 5: and he gets them, you know at the end and

323
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 5: basically it tackles him right at the end zone. But

324
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 5: I just look at from a speed standpoint, I'm like, wow,

325
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 5: because Rice is on the move. That was his play

326
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 5: slant the house, and there's Darren Woodson chasing him down.

327
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: You know as a big, strong linebacker slash safety, but

328
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 5: he could also play slot quarterer. And he's just he

329
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 5: was just a freak of an athlete. Should be in

330
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame. Hopefully we'll be. Let's go to

331
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: Kevin in Philly.

332
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 9: Kevin, what's up, Hey, what's going on?

333
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: Man?

334
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 5: How you doing?

335
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 9: I'm going I'm good. I'm going to raise in Philadelphia.

336
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 9: I've been a Dallas fan all my life, so I'm

337
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 9: sixty one, just turned sixty one a couple of days ago.

338
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 9: Been a Dallas fan to seventy seventy one.

339
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 5: Well, I got three words for you. What's that rest? Yeah?

340
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 5: Here we go, man, Here we go. Wasn't as loud

341
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: as I thought it would be. That's all right, first

342
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 5: time caller, happy to hear from you. What's going on?

343
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: Man?

344
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 9: Yes, and listen. Being a fan for so long, I

345
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 9: was listening to one of the other callers that he

346
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 9: was saying about, you know, are we going to support?

347
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 6: Are we going to be loyal?

348
00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: You know?

349
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 6: And I believe that true Cowboy fans will be, have been,

350
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 6: and will continue to be loyal.

351
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 9: But that doesn't mean we're not frustrated with the way

352
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 9: the organization.

353
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 6: Is being run.

354
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 5: Sure, you know.

355
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 9: For me, you know, I think Jerry Jones needs to

356
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 9: be called the task I don't know why people don't.

357
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 6: Maybe they're fearful losing jobs or whatever.

358
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 9: But as a businessman, I don't understand how you can

359
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 9: run the business that is not successful and still continue

360
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 9: to do things the same way year after year. And

361
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 9: I mean, I know, I don't know how much time

362
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 9: I have, So I'm just gonna rapid fire some things

363
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 9: and I'll hang up and lets you deal with it.

364
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 6: Okay, we all know Mike McCarthy's probably gonna be fired

365
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 6: next year.

366
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 9: Doesn't really matter because with Jerry Jones hire, it's gonna

367
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 9: be another puppet.

368
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 6: Because the head coach job, but the Dallas Cowboys comes

369
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 6: with no authority, no power. You're just a game day coach.

370
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 9: You don't even get to make decisions on what players

371
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 9: actually play. We don't understand why you give up a

372
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 9: fourth round pick to Trey Lance, and you still don't

373
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 9: use him, and this season is done, why not use

374
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 9: Trey Lance and see what you can get with him.

375
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 9: I don't like Mike McCarthy's played calling. I don't like

376
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 9: his time management. There is no way that Dallas will

377
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 9: ever hire a legitimate coach such as.

378
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 5: Hold on, yeah, let's let's talk for just a second

379
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 5: about this. So you you just said McCarthy doesn't make

380
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: the decisions based off of who plays in the game,

381
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 5: So who does? Then? If he's not McCarthy, who's who's

382
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 5: making decision?

383
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: Well?

384
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 9: Okay, So here's why I say that who's making the

385
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 9: decision to play Cooper Rush over Trey Lance? Because when

386
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 9: you look at Jerry Jones interviews, he's the one making

387
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 9: that call.

388
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, Who do you think, though, is the better

389
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 5: quarterback to win the game against the Panthers, Trey Lance

390
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 5: or Cooper Rush?

391
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 6: Well?

392
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 9: Right now, does that game mean?

393
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: No? No, no, okay, Now, just who do you think

394
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 5: it's the better quarterback to win this game? Who do

395
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: you think? I think it's Cooper Rush? What do you

396
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: do you think it's Lance?

397
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 9: Well? I would say go with Lance and see what

398
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 9: he got. Okay, we don't know what he can do

399
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 9: in the You're not and because you're.

400
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 5: Not answering the question though, because you're you're going you

401
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 5: just keep talking big picture. I'm talking about this game.

402
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 5: Who wins this game? Who's the better quarterback for this game?

403
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 5: I think it's Cooper Rush.

404
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 9: You know what I would say? Rush? Okay, I believe

405
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 9: that this game has something no and.

406
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 5: I understand that. I understand what you're saying. For Mike McCarthy,

407
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 5: he is trying to win the game. He needs to

408
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 5: win this game for him. The coaches need to win

409
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: their record, all of it because they understand what's on

410
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 5: the line for them every single game. He's trying to

411
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: get a winning record. He doesn't want a losing record.

412
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 5: He wants to go nine to eight. He's trying to

413
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 5: finish it. So if every game matters to him, so

414
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 5: he wants to go out and win the game. And

415
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 5: if Cooper Rush helps him win the game. So if

416
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 5: he wasn't making the decision, then it would be Trey Lance.

417
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 5: So that's why I'm going to challenge you. I don't

418
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 5: think that Jerry's making the decision on this. I think

419
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 5: I think Mike McCarthy's making the decision on.

420
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 9: This really now. So, okay, has Cooper Rush, I agree,

421
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 9: has shown.

422
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 6: Flashes of brilliance.

423
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 9: I believe that he has shown the capability and being

424
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 9: able to win games. But I think that at this point,

425
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 9: because of the way the league is going, as far

426
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 9: as it being a position of athleticism, I think Trey

427
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 9: Lance would be your better option as being a more

428
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 9: athletic quarterback.

429
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 5: And you're right about that. I'm fine with playing both.

430
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 5: I'm playing I'm fine if they both go out there

431
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 5: and play some I think that that's where we are

432
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: part of the season. I wouldn't be as opposed to that.

433
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: But don't forget this. This is a really tricky situation.

434
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 5: Both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are free agents next year,

435
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 5: so you want to see what Trey Lance. You know,

436
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 5: who else won? The other thirty teams not the forty

437
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 5: nine ers, but thirty other teams would love for the

438
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 5: Cowboys to play Trey Lance so they could get an

439
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: idea what he can do. Maybe they would like to

440
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 5: sign him as well. So who are you developing him for.

441
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 5: That's what makes this thing kind of tricky. If he

442
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 5: had two or three years left on the deal, he's

443
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 5: the starter, no doubt about it. I want to see

444
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: him play. But that's what makes this thing kind of

445
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 5: different in unique. I know you had some other points.

446
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: Can we rapid fire with those a little bit?

447
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 9: Yeah? Defensively, I was really hoping that Mike Zimmer's defense

448
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 9: would have been a lot better. I don't know why.

449
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 9: For whatever reason, Dallas cannot stop the run. Whatever reason

450
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 9: that is.

451
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 5: Losing five defensive ends could be one of the reasons.

452
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 5: That could be one. True, that's one.

453
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 9: And then you talked about the all l thing and

454
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 9: Jermy saying he was all in and we haven't been

455
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 9: able to. We got Mazie Smith, but you lose during Armstrong,

456
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 9: you lose you know a lot.

457
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 11: Of key people.

458
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 9: And how are you all in if you're not replacing

459
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 9: these people or going after other people that can really

460
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 9: help solidify the defense.

461
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm okay, all right. Well, hey, Kevin, appreciate the

462
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 5: call and appreciate you being a die hard cowboy fan

463
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 5: in Philly. Not easy. I understand that. I know it's not.

464
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've heard some nasty things along the way,

465
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 5: probably this morning and so being in Philly, but hey,

466
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 5: kudos to you. Thanks for the call. Appreciate that, uh call,

467
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 5: going back.

468
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 9: I love the show, I love the program. Man, keep

469
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 9: doing what you do. I'll keep supporting the Cowboys.

470
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 5: I know you will. Boy l Hey, you definitely will.

471
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 5: If you're a Cowboy fan. You said over sixty years

472
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: old in Philly, you've you've definitely you're You're true and

473
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 5: true all the way, you know. And I don't like

474
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 5: to sit there and just always throw out the injury situation.

475
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 5: I know, I said that just now, and I think

476
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 5: I hope you guys know that's fifty percent maybe a

477
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 5: little bit more sixty seventy percent of some of these issues,

478
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: you know, to say, I thought Mike Zimmer's defense would

479
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 5: be better, Yeah, I mean I think I think we

480
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 5: all thought it would be better too. But you know,

481
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 5: injuries happen. There's no doubt. Injuries happen, and how are

482
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 5: you prepared for them? Yeah, that's a big, big thing.

483
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 5: But when they hit the same position over and over

484
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 5: and over, that's where it gets. It's just too much

485
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: you can take. And this team already lost two defensive ends.

486
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: They let Dorn's Armstrong go, they could not pay him.

487
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: They let Dante Fowler go. I don't think anybody had

488
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 5: a huge problem with that. But he's had a nice

489
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 5: season in Washington. Let those two guys go knowing, Hey,

490
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 5: they're gonna draft Marshawn Kneeland, they got Tank, they got Micah.

491
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 5: Sam Williams has got to be the year. Well Sam

492
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 5: gets an a cl injury, DeMarcus Lawrence gets hurt in

493
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 5: week four, He's he's not coming back this season. I don't.

494
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 5: I don't think so at all. Micah, you know he's

495
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 5: had the injury that that really affected them. Marshaw Kneeland

496
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 5: can't stay healthy. You know, he got hurt a little

497
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 5: bit there, and it's just been this revolving door of

498
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 5: of tryouts for defensive ends. Guys you've never heard of

499
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 5: have played a lot of football this year. And then

500
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 5: on the cornerback situation, Digs and Bland did not even

501
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 5: play together until this last game against Cincinnati. I mean,

502
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 5: you guys had never know, we hadn't heard of over Warria,

503
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 5: Josh Butler, keem On Hall. You know, Kayln Carson has

504
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: had to place a lot like it's it's not been

505
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: what you what you wanted from the past rush standpoint,

506
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 5: from the run stopping standpoint, and then obviously from the corners,

507
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: and I even mentioned the linebackers, which the linebackers have

508
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 5: been somewhat healthy until now. Overshown that you look at

509
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 5: the injury report, there's like four linebackers on the injury report.

510
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 5: So all right, we're gonna go to break real quick.

Speaker 5: I know we got two callers on live. I got

556
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,440

557
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 3: not a great year on the football side of it.

558
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 3: But hey, I think you know, before I get start,

559

Speaker 3: I just want to wish you and your family really

560
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,080

561
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: to talk to you again for that. I just really

562
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: think that this whole year is just been a revolving

563
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 3: kind of door. From the Packers game. Nothing write in

564
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: a Packers game, and nothing has gone right this season.

565
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: It's just kind of been an evolution and kept going

566
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: on this year. And I think at the end of

567
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: the year we've got to stop kind of that that

568
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 3: movement and say, hey, it starts with McCarthy. He's got

569
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: to go. We got to get some somebody else in

570
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: here to to re energize his team and build for

571
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: the future. And part of I didn't hear your comments

572
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 3: are the really business work. So I didn't hear your

573
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: comments around what happened bunday night with the punt return,

574
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: the block and Ao, you know, touching the ball. But

575
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: from my perspective, he made a mistake. It was a

576
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: terrible play. He's got to know better. And then to

577
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 3: come out the next day and do an interview and

578
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: double down on his mistake to me, sends a clear

579
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: message that there's no accountability with the team. There's no

580
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: response ability for the for their actions.

581
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 5: What would you do?

582
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 9: What?

583
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 5: What accountability? What a slap on the wrist, a fine,

584
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 5: a cut? What would like you say, accountability? What would

585
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: you do there to to make him accountable for that

586
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 5: for that play? Cutting Nick?

587
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: If you're asking me, I would have cut him, Yes, okay,

588
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: like like Jimmy Johnson did with Curb Richards.

589
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no, no no, no, Jimmy Johnson. Curvin

590
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 5: Richard fumbled twice. You know, he fumbled, he knows the rule.

591
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: He fumbled. Uh, leon Let did the same thing. Would

592
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 5: you have cut leon Let?

593
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? But Nick. Remember, leon Lett is not the same

594
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 3: as Ao. Just like when right, you know, sleeping in

595
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 3: a meeting. You're not going to cut Michael. I understand.

596
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 5: I understand that's the problem though. You just you you're

597
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 5: you're talking about accountability, but you're also talking about the

598
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 5: fact that we're going to play favorites here, we're gonna

599
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 5: when we we are when we they all do. This

600
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: guy makes more money than this guy, so you know,

601
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 5: you treat people differently, So you're gonna you're gonna cut

602
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: him because he made that, because he made that that play,

603
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 5: you cut him to set an example. If Curvin Richards

604
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: could play, he wouldn't have been cut, you know.

605
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm saying. Okay, you gotta say. You

606
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: gotta say, hey, you can't come out the next day, Nick,

607
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 3: and say, listen, I stand by screwing up the game

608
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: and costing the game, to be costing my teammates the game.

609
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: I stand by the mistake I made, Like.

610
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta at least have some remorse.

611
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: And say, look, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have

612
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 3: touched it. I should have ran away when everybody was

613
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: yelling get away and get away.

614
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 5: Let me let me tell you, Mike, let me tell

615
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: you this though that he talked after the he talked

616
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 5: like the next day. He didn't talk after the game.

617
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 5: I was standing ten feet from his locker with three

618
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 5: other reporters trying to talk to him, and CJ. Goodwin

619
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 5: was was and Jordan Lewis was blocking it. It was

620
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: going to happen. He and I was told, if you

621
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 5: had been in here ten minutes earlier, you understand why

622
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 5: this wasn't happening. Remorse, he had more remorse than you

623
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 5: could possibly fathom. He did not. I mean, he lost

624
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 5: the game and the season was already lost pretty much,

625
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 5: but that was the nail. We know that. Everybody knows that.

626
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: So but then you can't come out the next day

627
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: to the media and to the fans and say, hey,

628
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: I own it. I made the mistake, and.

629
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: I'm standing by making a mistake. You got to stay to.

630
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: The media, Yeah, I made the mistake. I'm sorry. I

631
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: screwed up. But he didn't do that. I mean, if

632
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: he felt that remorseful during where he's got to get

633
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: teamags to block him so you gotta can talk to him,

634
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: then he's got to come out and say I screwed

635
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: that up, man, that's I know better. I made that mistake,

636
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: not say listen, I just doubled down. I made the

637
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: mistake too bad. I screwed the game up. Like to me,

638
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 3: you got to you gotta own it. And McCarthy's got

639
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: a home guys accountable. I mean they you know, the penalties,

640
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: the dumb plays like.

641
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: None of these guys.

642
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: McCarthy doesn't hold any of these guys accountable for this stuff.

643
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 3: And it gets frustrating watching.

644
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: Because you're like, guy, you know, if you're really fighting

645
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: for your job.

646
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: Then you got to hold these guys accountable and say

647
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: we're not going to accept this kind of performance.

648
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 5: Hold the guys accountable that you don't think are good players,

649
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 5: not not CD who can't stay on side. Sometimes CD

650
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 5: is looking ahead and dropping the pass every now and again.

651
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 3: That's why that's why you don't pay guys like CD

652
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: all that money and Dack all that money, because they're

653
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: not the leaders that hold their teammates accountable when they

654
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: make these mistakes. And like Irvin and Emmett and Troy,

655
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: those guys held the other teammates accountable. The coach didn't

656
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: even have to do it because they managed it. We don't.

657
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: We don't have these leaders on this team.

658
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 6: I don't know.

659
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 14: We don't.

660
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't know that. I mean, I don't

661
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 5: know those stories that of them holding him accountable and

662
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 5: how all that went down in the nineties, I'm not sure.

663
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 5: I mean, they were. It was a great team, a

664
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 5: great players. There was no salary cap for most of

665
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 5: that and and they you know, they benefited from it

666
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 5: with great with great players. But as far as you know,

667
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 5: you have you have big time players that are also

668
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 5: making mistakes as well. So that's why, you know, that's

669
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 5: that's why this thing could get tricky. You know, you

670
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 5: want to be held these guys accountable, but uh, sometimes

671
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 5: you're some of your best players are the ones making

672
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 5: the mistakes as well. But I get it. It's it's

673
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 5: it's a frustrating thing. Thanks for the call, Mike. Mike's

674
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 5: one of the ogs, man, He's one. He's one of

675
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 5: those callers from way back when we were doing Tuesday

676
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 5: nights at the Ranch with Mickey. All right, let's go

677
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 5: to Dylan Northport, Florida. If he's still around, Dylan, he's

678
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 5: still there.

679
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 7: Hey, I'm here. My beard's a little longer now, but

680
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 7: it's all good, A little great. Ye last call, dude,

681
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not cutting AO. He was a sufficient

682
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 7: enough backup player to fill in when our guys were hurt.

683
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 7: He made, you know, a bonehead play during a season

684
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 7: that was already lost.

685
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 14: So what the hell is.

686
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 7: Even the point doesn't matter. I'm not I would have

687
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 7: cut Zeke instead of uh suspend, you know, basically spending

688
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 7: him the game a long time ago to make an example.

689
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 7: If that's where we want to go, I'm not cutting

690
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 7: a O. I think that's silly, very silly. Yeah, I

691
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 7: want to talk about Rob's call yesterday. Dude, he he

692
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 7: mentioned me, me my name.

693
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 5: At one point, He's got you as the cathologist of

694
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 5: the storyliner, so like, yeah, he's got you. Got to

695
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 5: figure it out.

696
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 7: He's like, we have the Internet, we have dealing. I

697
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 7: felt like in The Avengers, like the one guy's.

698
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:35,959
Speaker 14: Like, yeah, we have the Hulk.

699
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 7: I felt like that at that point. I thought, that's

700
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 7: pretty cool. Rob appreciate that.

701
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 8: But I'm not.

702
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 7: I'm not that smart, you know. I just I do

703
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 7: a little bit of research and plagiarize my work. I mean,

704
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 7: no big deal, but you know, he's not. He's not wrong. Uh,

705
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 7: in the fact that there's things you can do, you

706
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 7: can I think restructuring CD makes a lot of sense

707
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 7: because you can basically push his dead money out like

708
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 7: a decade, because you're going to extend him, you know,

709
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 7: after the four years again most likely, so that doesn't matter.

710
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 7: You can cut Steel post you on, or you can

711
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 7: restructure Steel. You can restructure Diggs and that one of

712
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 7: them are really gonna have a long term impact if

713
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 7: you do that as far as the money goes. But

714
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 7: Dak is like the one that is obviously the biggest

715
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 7: percentage point of this whole thing. It takes the large

716
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 7: hunk of the cap. So you basically have two options

717
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 7: with Dak. Prescott right it out as is right, and

718
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 7: he's going to average about twenty four percent of the

719
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 7: cap every season. Next season he's like thirty two percent

720
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 7: of the cap, which is absolutely insane. For reference, a

721
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 7: quarterback hasn't gone to the Super Bowl with more than

722
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 7: you know, coming from more than seventeen percent of the

723
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 7: cap since twenty fifteen. The average is eight percent of

724
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 7: the cap. So like, if you have a quarterback taking

725
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 7: thirty percent of the cap, like good luck yeah, God bless.

726
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

727
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 7: The other option is to restructure him, and they did

728
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 7: build in four or four years into his deal. There's

729
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 7: no money assigned to those board years as it is

730
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 7: right now, but that tells me they at least put

731
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 7: the lever in to pull the trigger on a restructure.

732
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 7: And you know, if you do that, you can afford

733
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 7: players now, but it's gonna sucking twenty twenty nine when

734
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 7: all that money comes due at that termination of his contracts.

735
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 7: So it's like, do you want to have four years

736
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 7: left of Dak Prescott with potentially being able to sign

737
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 7: good players, or do you want to just kind of

738
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 7: roll the money over from his old contract into this

739
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 7: new one here, you know, amortize it out over four

740
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 7: years and then you don't have a big penalty at

741
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 7: the end. So it's like kind of craft the options

742
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 7: both ways. But that's you know, where you're asked, like

743
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 7: what do you do? You know, that's the question I

744
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 7: guess for this offseason.

745
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. And it's one of those things too,

746
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 5: where like you know, pushing out the money for CD

747
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 5: makes more sense, Pushing it out for Dak three or

748
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 5: four years ago makes more sense. But when you keep

749
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 5: pushing the money out at some point like this, this

750
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 5: has got to be the contract where like this is

751
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 5: it for Dak, So keep pushing money with him and

752
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 5: adding more years to him. You know that this is

753
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 5: I think you got to play it out with with Dak.

754
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 5: If you you know, you signed them, this is what

755
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 5: you have to do. You got to hope that the

756
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 5: cap goes up to the point where you can probably

757
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 5: still function. But I don't, I don't know. I think

758
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 5: you have to kind of ride it out here with

759
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 5: Dak at this point.

760
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know how I feel, man, because we've

761
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 7: seen them have ample cap room before and they don't

762
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 7: really bring in external guys. So at first, I'm like,

763
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 7: restructure Dak. You're going to have them for four years.

764
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 7: Let's get you know, the most out of him by

765
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 7: signing other guys. And I'm also like, Okay, we've had

766
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 7: room before and they don't really bring in big outside names,

767
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 7: so is there really a point in doing that. And

768
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 7: then it's not like you're sacrificing a single season in

769
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 7: twenty twenty nine. You're potentially losing guys in twenty twenty

770
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 7: nine when you have that giant cat tit because you know,

771
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 7: you can't extend other guys or sign other guys that

772
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 7: you want to sign because of Dak's dead money at

773
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 7: that point. So that could be a not just a

774
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 7: twenty twenty nine problem, but a twenty twenty nine and

775
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 7: beyond problem if you lose certain players because of Dak's

776
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 7: dead money at that point. So I don't really know.

777
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 7: I'm not kind of riding the fence on that one.

778
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 7: If you restructure or not. Like I said, they had

779
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 7: the levers built in. I think they're probably going to

780
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 7: because you can't, like you can have a guy taking

781
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 7: up thirty the cap and be okay. But I mean,

782
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 7: I don't really know for sure, So I guess we'll see.

783
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, well obviously, well we will see. And and you

784
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 5: know you have anything else dealing, we're gonna keep it moving.

785
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 8: No, man, that's it.

786
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 6: That's it.

787
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 7: I know you're busy.

788
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 5: Well I appreciate that. I know you were. You you

789
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 5: guys talk about the stuff on the on the storyliners,

790
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 5: you know, spaces on on Twitter, and and you know

791
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 5: that's where a lot of this this came from. And

792
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 5: and and yes, I mean, like I've said a couple

793
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 5: of times, like you can all yeah, you can. You

794
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 5: can get money. You can you can figure out ways

795
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 5: to to save some here and there. You can cut

796
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 5: players and trade some and you can create space. But

797
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 5: but you know, you also got to remember when you're

798
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 5: doing some of these, some of these moves, you you

799
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 5: also have to you know, you have to fill fill

800
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 5: that that spot.

801
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: And h.

802
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 5: I think there's a there's also a notion too that

803
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 5: like fans don't really consider you re signing your players

804
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 5: as doing something other than obviously DAK you know, because

805
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 5: it makes so much sense there, I mean, because it's

806
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 5: so big on the salary cap. But like you know,

807
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 5: re signing your own players and things like that, Like Nope,

808
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 5: I don't think fans look at that like, hey, we're

809
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 5: doing something like last year. Remember remember last training camp

810
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 5: where it was like it was steel and then it

811
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 5: was Hooker and it was digs to start with, and

812
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 5: you know, and like, you know, you're signing these guys.

813
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: I mean, the Cowboys look at their own roster and

814
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 5: look at all these free agents and look at these

815
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 5: guys that go, hey, we gotta get this guy, this guy,

816
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 5: this guy done. So you know, I don't think they

817
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 5: always look at saying we need seventy eighty ninety million

818
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 5: dollars so we can go out and get all these

819
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 5: other players now every once in a while, I think

820
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 5: it would be nice. I do think players need fresh starts.

821
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 5: I think that a change of scenery, and I do

822
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 5: think you can you can get some free agents every

823
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 5: now and again. They could come in and help. I

824
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 5: would like to see the Cowboys do that more than

825
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 5: they do, but I I understand it. But at the

826
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 5: same time, it's been you know, a long time at

827
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 5: this and we haven't seen the ultimate payoff like that.

828
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 5: So all right, let's go to break here one more

859
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 14: Mine is love actually as a part in that where

860
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 14: the guy with an English accent is irresistible to all

861
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 14: American women. Now, I've only been to the US once

862
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 14: and that wasn't my experience. But you know, cracking film.

863
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 14: So I tried to tried to call you earlier in

864
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 14: the week and I was mostly don't start, don't start

865
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 14: that argument.

866
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 5: Start that one off, definite?

867
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 14: Is it a Christmas movie? I I've tried to call

868
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 14: you earlier in the week and I was mostly going

869
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 14: to talk about demo, but I think people have have

870
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 14: covered that very well. But just to add my my

871
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 14: thoughts and what a fantastic human being. If only one

872
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 14: can can fight this off, it's it's him. So a

873
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 14: great story you told, so uh, all the best to him.

874
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 14: We'll be thinking of him. So Rob versus Nick. This

875
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 14: was a lot of fun yesterday. And you know, I

876
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 14: get it. I get the frustration. I'm kind of team

877
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 14: Nick on this one. I feel like with with Stephen Jones, Yeah,

878
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 14: he said what he said. I think there might be

879
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 14: an element of expectation management in that. I don't think

880
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 14: it's that we're going to do nothing. And I think

881
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 14: you mentioned middle ground earlier. I think that's where we'll

882
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 14: end up. But the thing with with what Rob is

883
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 14: saying is, you know he's gone on yesterday he said,

884
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 14: he's lying, we can do this, we can get one

885
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 14: hundred million and so forth. Well we can, but at

886
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 14: what costs? And you know, there's a over the cap,

887
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 14: there's a there's a calculator tool. So I would say

888
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 14: to Rob, go on, And I love Rob. I'm not

889
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 14: dissing Rob at all. Rob's absolutely fantastic. He's great entertainment.

890
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 14: But go on, over the cap. Make your plan, including

891
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 14: for our got something like thirty three agents. We've got

892
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 14: back up quarterbacks as it stands. Next year, we've got

893
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 14: all that to do. Come back, What is your plan

894
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 14: and what is the cost of it in twenty twenty eight,

895
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 14: twenty twenty nine, and do you accept that? Because in

896
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 14: twenty twenty five you're not accepting that, so at some

897
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 14: point you've got to pay. So but it's a great

898
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 14: conversation and I really really enjoyed that. I mean, part

899
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 14: of it is, you know, fourteen million for cutting Terence Steel. Now,

900
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 14: maybe they'll do that, maybe they won't. But Jones is

901
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 14: Mantra is we like our guys, so I suspect they

902
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 14: won't do that, and if they do, you've got to

903
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 14: get someone else in there. So there's a lot of

904
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 14: work to do one way and another this summer, and I,

905
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 14: like you said, I think middle Grounds is the way.

906
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 14: Let's let's get some guys, but it's not going to

907
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 14: be game changes in the off season. I don't think

908
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 14: I'll leave you with that, so you can get another

909
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 14: caller or two on.

910
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 5: Thanks Mike, appreciate that. Yeah, then you make you make

911
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 5: some good points there. You know, it's not always it's

912
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 5: it's a complicated thing when you're going and do multiple

913
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 5: multiple years, and you know, I don't think I don't

914
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 5: know if that's exactly what he was he was saying

915
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 5: or even caring about. He was talking about more next year,

916
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,479
Speaker 5: going year to year. Things change all the time, and

917
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 5: that's that's what makes it tough. You do have an

918
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 5: eye towards the future, but at the same time, you've

919
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 5: got to figure out what you're doing right now, you

920
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 5: know as well, And that's what that's what these fans

921
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 5: care about. You know, what have you done for me today?

922
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 5: So all right, let's go to Robbie and Cocoa Beach, Florida.

923
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 11: What's up, Robbie, I missed the day yesterday. What's going

924
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 11: on with me?

925
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean you because if you The

926
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 5: thing is, we have a stipulation on this show that

927
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 5: if you call seven days in a row, you become

928
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 5: a co host on the show. And it was just six,

929
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 5: so you're out.

930
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 11: So okay, I got to start a news trend. Then

931
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 11: I'll start again.

932
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 5: That's a joke. Actually, that's a giant caller. Some of

933
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 5: the other callers that you know, seven in row you

934
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 5: said on that one Friday. Yeah, now you guys are

935
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 5: all you guys are already co hosts. That's that's what

936
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 5: it is.

937
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 11: We're talking and we're hanging out with it.

938
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 5: Right when people say you do a show by yourself,

939
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 5: I was like, no, I don't. I don't know you guys,

940
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 5: And if you don't, Chris starts talking. So it's all good.

941
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 11: And we'd love to hear Chris talk.

942
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

943
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 11: Still the hardest working man at the Cowboys, besides the

944
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 11: players and the coaches. You know, the coaches put in

945
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 11: an hours.

946
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

947
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 5: I thought for sure we'd hear it. Yeah, I knew

948
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 5: that was coming. Yeah, all right, what else? What do

949
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 5: you got?

950
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 7: Hey?

951
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 16: Man?

952
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 6: What's going on?

953
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 11: What are we going to do this weekend?

954
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 3: Uh?

955
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 5: Like hang out? Like what what do you mean?

956
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 6: Like in the game, in the game, the game.

957
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 5: I thought you were coming to Carolina. I was like,

958
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 5: I don't know, what are we what are we going

959
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 5: to do? I think it's going to be a game

960
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 5: where Carolina gets out to an early lead and then

961
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 5: the Cowboys got to figure out if they want to

962
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 5: if they want to rally, and they want to they

963
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 5: want to punch back because I think I think they're

964
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 5: going to get a punch right in the face early

965
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 5: on in this game. I think Caroline is playing well, uh,

966
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 5: to their standards, let's be real clear about that. To

967
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 5: their own standards of three and nine, I think that

968
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 5: they're playing well. I think Bryce, to his standards, is

969
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 5: playing well better. Yeah, and well he should be the

970
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 5: number one pick in the draft, you know.

971
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 11: But but hey, listen, we've talked about that with trade trading. Micah,

972
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 11: we don't know what the number one draft always is.

973
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, how many bus have been the first pick?

974
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

975
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 11: Well I can name a five picks off to head.

976
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 5: Probably, Well, you're not getting the number one pick too,

977
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 5: just by trading him, you know what I mean?

978
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 11: I know, I agree, I would not trade Mikey. You

979
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 11: know what I'm at.

980
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well, I think it's I think it's also

981
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 5: team Jerry.

982
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 11: You know, yeah, Jerry. I don't think the Cowboys I.

983
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 5: Don't think they want to trade Micael at all. There's

984
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 5: some people in the organization that that have have talked

985
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 5: about it and what it would mean and what what

986
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 5: you could do that, but I don't I don't think so.

987
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 5: I don't think he's.

988
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 11: Been around provercial Walker trade though. I mean, you're not happening.

989
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 11: Eight players, three first round picks. You know that's never

990
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 11: gonna happen.

991
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, that's not happening. That was remember

992
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 5: that was pre trade. Uh salary cap?

993
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 11: Salary cap? Yeah, well, I kind of still wish we'd

994
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 11: go back to no salary cap like the Yankees or

995
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 11: the Mets and always in the Super Bowl there'd be

996
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 11: a couple of teams with us, though there'd be some

997
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 11: teams and the parody would not be as fun. I

998
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 11: agree with that.

999
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 5: No, No, I wouldn't be It wouldn't be as fun,

1000
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 5: but it would be cool for the Cowboys.

1001
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 11: It would be cool for a Cowboys. Yes, sir, all.

1002
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 6: Right, good day you two.

1003
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 5: All right, see you later. All right, let's go to

1004
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 5: Leicester and Minnesota be our last call. Leicester.

1005
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 6: What's up, hey, how you doing out there.

1006
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 16: I'm loving my young offensive lineman, especially Hoffman. I notice

1007
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 16: that Rico a lot of times when he runs. I

1008
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 16: don't have the all twenty two or whatever that is,

1009
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 16: but I just watch it a lose as close as

1010
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 16: I can. Most of the time he runs right behind Hoffman,

1011
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 16: Haffmon goes up to the second level and gets the

1012
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 16: next linebacker or safety or whatever. I'm loving that. My

1013
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 16: favorite Christmas movie is It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey.

1014
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 5: We're doing this next week. We're gonna go Christmas movies.

1015
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 5: We'll do it next week for sure. But you know what,

1016
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 5: that's good you call in get us going. It's a

1017
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 5: wonderful life. That's that's yours. We'll take a poll next week.

1018
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it all all next week, even though

1019
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 5: next week is going to be a really weird week

1020
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 5: for the schedule. I'm just warning you guys. Now, changes

1021
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 5: on the schedule Tuesday, changes on the schedule on Thursday.

1022
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 5: Maybe Friday, there will be in those shows just throwing

1023
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 5: it out there. Next week will be a different week

1024
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 5: for Cowboy Storylin.

1025
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, okay, I like it. And I think what as

1026
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 16: far as Rob from Vegas, what he I think what

1027
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 16: he was saying. I think he did say it. He

1028
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 16: just wants to to win NFC championship and or a

1029
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 16: super Bowl, so he's saying, just let's just do it.

1030
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 16: I mean, all the other little things I guess. I

1031
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 16: don't know if he thought about that or whatever, but

1032
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 16: I think his main point was just let's just get there,

1033
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 16: and let's go all in.

1034
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 6: And get there.

1035
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 16: And I know you gotta be responsible and everything, but

1036
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 16: he's saying, I mean, he even said it, well we'll we'll,

1037
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 16: we'll take you know, three years from him from now

1038
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 16: being one and fifteen, if we can go to the

1039
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 16: super Bowl, you know, pretty soon. I think that's what

1040
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 16: he meant. But anyway, hey, I just want't ended with

1041
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 16: what I always ended with until we get a good,

1042
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 16: very good offensive and defensive line. Cowboys fans, this is

1043
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 16: what we got, Cowboys. Oh my score be twenty four

1044
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 16: ten Cowboys Cowboys?

1045
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 5: All right, sounds good. I also want to throw in

1046
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 5: thanks for the call lester. Sergeant Sue had texted earlier

1047
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 5: in the show said defense looks even better against these panthers.

1048
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 5: Dallas wins twenty six to twelve. This delusion is deliciously delightful.

1049
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 5: That's an inside joke there that he's been saying. I

1050
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 5: think I heard say that on the storyliners last week.

1051
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 5: All right, yeah, and to the point, I've never heard

1052
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 5: anybody that didn't call in the show that's been referenced

1053
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 5: as much as as my man robed from Vegas. So

1054
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 5: why you're the captain man? Because but you know, I

1055
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 5: think more than anything what was saying was it. I mean,

1056
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 5: just think about that day that you've had, you know

1057
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 5: where maybe you had car trouble here and they got

1058
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 5: in trouble at work, boss goes on to you or something,

1059
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 5: and then you get home and you're dealing with stuff

1060
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 5: here and you know, own burn the food and all

1061
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 5: this stuff, and you're going to bed and you go,

1062
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 5: you know what, tomorrow's gonna be worse, Like nobody wants

1063
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 5: to hear that. You want to go to bed and

1064
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 5: you're like, you know what, it's gonna be better tomorrow.

1065
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 5: And that's what that's what it kind of feels like

1066
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 5: like this bad year, I'm dealing with it. Oh, next

1067
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 5: year is going to be worse than this. Well, nobody

1068
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 5: wants to hear that, and I understand the frustration there.

1069
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 5: All right, next week we will be back on Monday

1070

Speaker 5: talking about this Cowboys Panthers game, and as I said before,

1071
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 5: some changes in the schedule. Tuesday show is going to

1072
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 5: be at a different time and maybe some other changes

1073
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 5: as well. I don't think we'll have a show next

1074
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 5: Friday because we have a work event there. I think

1075
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 5: that's gonna be a lot of changes all over the
