Speaker 4: to a ten am starting on Tuesday, and Tuesday is

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: officially game week. There will not be shows on Monday

00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 4: for Labor Day. There'll be people in the building working.

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 4: We got practice going on and we'll be able to

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 4: cover that. But as far as shows, the shows will

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 4: take a holiday. We'll get back on Tuesday and then

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: everybody's time slot. We're going daily at this point. It's

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: been nice to kind of ramp it up, ramp it up,

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: just like the players do for preseason. You kind of

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 4: get it going a little bit. You don't, you don't

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 4: you're not here every day every other day. Of course,

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: Chris Beam, our producer, has been doing it every day,

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 4: but not not the seven shows or eight shows or

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 4: at once that hits on Tuesday, and I'll be going

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 4: at ten am thirty minutes ish. We'll go thirty bit.

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: We may go a little bit more on Mondays and Tuesdays,

27
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: Wednesdays and Thursday, we've got we'll be getting out for

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy's press conference. But Mondays and Tuesdays after games,

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 4: and as we kind of turn the page to the

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: next game, we may go a little bit longer. We'll

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: see how that goes. But as far as far as storylines,

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: it's really all about the same. The roster has kind

33
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: of settled into what it is at this point. No

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: big surprises here in the last twenty four hours or so,

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: so this looks like what it's gonna be. And heading

36
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: in to the Giants game, I think Brandon Aubrey will

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: be the kicker. I think the offensive line. They added

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 4: Sean Harlowe a center for the practice squad. He may

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: or may not be ready for the first game. I

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 4: would bet brock Hoffman is the better choice there to

41
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: move up for game day. But what you do is

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 4: you have a couple of centers there. So that's that's

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 4: probably six weeks worth of you know, three each of

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: moving these guys up, and then at that point, you know,

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 4: you kind of see what happened. So all right, we're

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: gonna go to the phone lines. Last show was incredible.

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: We had eight calls. Last show was It was amazing

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 4: a lot of fun. That's really what this show is

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: all about. When I can interact with you guys, whether

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 4: it be the text line or the calls. I'm gonna

51
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: throw the number out there, eight five five two two

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: nine seven. That's the phone line, the text line eight

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: one seven two nine zero three two nine eight, And

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: I believe we have a caller right now, Chris from

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: Mississippi on the line. Chris, what's up?

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 5: How you doing me?

57
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: I'm great man, How are you man?

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: First thing is I got a I got an apology

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 5: for you, and and then I've also got a comment

60
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 5: that I would like to hear your feedback on.

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 4: First thing is.

62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 5: I have to say when I first started listening to

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: Cowboys podcast, the first one I ever listened to was

64
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 5: The Break and I almost quit listening. I thought it

65
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 5: was you and David at first when I first started listening,

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 5: and then I realized it was mister Ridgid David, I mean,

67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: not David, but mister Ridgid Derek making everything kind of

68
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 5: quirky for me. I just I don't know, it's just

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: something about how he does stuff.

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: But well that's my boss. So I'm not going I'm

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: not going with you on that, but.

72
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 5: I can. I wanted to also say thank you for

73
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 5: mister Chris Bean for being our MVP. We appreciate all you.

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: And so when you remember a couple of years back

75
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 5: when everybody like m Bard Deck and all these other

76
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: people were saying, all we need Dak to be more aggressive,

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: we need Dak to be more aggressive. If I remember, right,

78
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 5: you and Dave kept telling them, well, if you get

79
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 5: more aggressive, he's gonna throw more picks. He's not going

80
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: to be a safe So I was actually calling to

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 5: call out some people to keep saying, oh, well, we

82
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 5: need that to be more than a bus driver. Well,

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: if you say that, then you cannot complain about the

84
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 5: picks that he throws. That's because that's the only way

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 5: he's going to be more than a bus driver or

86
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 5: have just a good safe quarterback, which is what we need.

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 5: And that's just my opinion. Thank you for the great show.

88
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 5: Appreciate it. Have a good day.

89
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Chris. I appreciate the call. You know,

90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: those are my teammates too, so you know they all

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 4: have opinions. Well, we all have opinions, and I'm sure

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: that there's more to it than just saying be more

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: aggressive and all that. Sometimes sometimes to be more aggressive

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: is also running the ball to But you're right about that.

95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: When you throw more passes, you're going to get more yards,

96
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: more touchdowns, and probably more interceptions. I always say the

97
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: fact that, and I know it's changed then, but I

98
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 4: do remember when Brett Favre was the leader in touchdown throws,

99
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: he also as the leader in interceptions. I think Baby

100
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: Bruth had a lot of strikeouts, but of course a

101
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: lot of home runs. That's the nature of it. That's

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: what happens. As for being more aggressive, being a bus driver,

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: all that stuff, you know, to me, it comes down

104
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: to what's the best thing that you do. If you

105
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: have a great running back, if you have a great

106
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 4: ground game, then yeah, being a bus driver is probably

107
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 4: really important. Don't make mistakes. If the teams are counting

108
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: on you to go make the plays and do all

109
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: the things that you need to do, then certainly you're

110
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: gonna have to be more aggressive at times, and with

111
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: that comes a little bit more interceptions. Go back to

112
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: that first year of Dak rookie year twenty sixteen, really

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 4: didn't throw a lot of picks. They were running the ball.

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: I mean, Zeke was was doing his thing and it

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: was it was a great offense there. Jason Witten was

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: was was kind of a security blanket. So and Dak

117
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: didn't have to do a lot of forcing and he didn't,

118
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 4: you know, didn't throw a lot of interceptions. But as

119
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 4: time has gone on and they've needed him to be

120
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 4: more of that play. Sometimes you make plays for both teams.

121
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: It happens. But you're right, the Cowboys need to get

122
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: to the point where they can give him some help

123
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: where he doesn't have to do everything. All right, we're

124
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: gonna go back to the phone nine again. We've got

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: Ernest though from Washington States. Washington State.

126
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 1: What's up, man, Hey, just quick question.

127
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 6: You've been doing this for a long time. You watched

128
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 6: a lot of different different offensive coordinators with the Cowboys.

129
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 6: I'm just wondering what do you expect to see different

130
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 6: Week one against the Giants and or Brian Schottenheimer as

131
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 6: oppose to what we've been seeing in yours half from

132
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 6: Kellmore and the guys like that, like Jason Garrett, that

133
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 6: type of style offense.

134
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna hold them before you hang up,

135
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you. I'm gonna ask you a follow

136
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 4: up to your question. What do you want to see more?

137
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 7: What?

138
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: What do you like to see? What do you think

139
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: that you would like to see differently out of this offense?

140
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 6: So something that I'm kind of looking for is that

141
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 6: situational Well, I know this is going to tie to

142
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy's play calling, but I really want to see

143
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 6: more options for like they the play action. I know

144
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 6: we did some play action under Kellen Moore and it

145
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 6: was pretty spotty, but I'm just looking for something a

146
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 6: little like just let Dak kind of go a little bit,

147
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 6: Let let him do what he's comfortable with. And I

148
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 6: could be wrong here, but I'm wondering, like if under

149
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 6: kell And it was like, Okay, this is my system,

150
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 6: this is what the players are going to do. I'm

151
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 6: wondering if under shot and I'm er if he's going

152
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 6: to put in things but he knows that Dak likes

153
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 6: he knows that, Okay, Dak likes to do this, or

154
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 6: that I'm going to implement that in the offense to

155
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 6: let McCarthy call that.

156
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's always key. And we appreciate the call there,

157
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: Thank you. And I'm glad you could kind of throw

158
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: that part in there too, because because that's what I'm

159
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see. I mean, I have opinions, but

160
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: I want to hear y'all's opinions as well. I Mean,

161
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: there was something behind the question there about what do

162
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: we want to see? And and for me, it's it's

163
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: I want to see them utilize their their speed and

164
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: and and I love what I've seen in training camp

165
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: as far as the width of the of the and

166
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: using all of it. They really do a nice job

167
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: of kind of getting these guys in space. That was

168
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: my biggest thing about last season when they lost to

169
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers is they did not have enough playmakers.

170
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: They just couldn't compete with that aggressive defense in San Francisco.

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: It was just CD at the end of the game,

172
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: and they they he did a nice job, but they

173
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: doubled him and there was no other running back threat.

174
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: And now with the speed. I think Cooks adds a lot.

175
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: I think Gallup is better than he was. Tolbert can

176
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 4: maybe be that guy. You've got Pollard, you've got Deuce.

177
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: I think that you've got Turpin. I don't want to

178
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: forget him. I think Turpin's speed can really help. So

179
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: that's what I want to see is I want to

180
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: see them get the ball in space and you know,

181
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 4: easy quick throws in the flat, and see if these

182
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: guys can go make plays on their own, because if

183
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 4: they can do that, that'll open up the middle and

184
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 4: opens up the running game. Back to the calls, we

185
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: got another. We got Tim in Dallas. What's up, Nick?

186
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: How you do it?

187
00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: Sir?

188
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 4: I'm good man. For a second, I thought it might

189
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 4: be my dad. My dad, he lives in Dallas and

190
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: his name's Tam So I was just like, oh what, yeah,

191
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: but I don't think so what's up?

192
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 8: Though?

193
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Funny story before I get to my question about Hunter Libkey.

194
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: I was at the Arkansas Texas game in twenty twenty

195
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: one in Fayetteville. Oh yeah, I'm a Texas crad and

196
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: I kind of thought, I wonder, Yeah, I know, it's

197
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: been terrible decade after but I kind of thought, I

198
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: wonder Nick's here. So we were walking around the tailgates

199
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and then we're going to head the game, and funny enough,

200
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: I ran into Jerry, Stephen and Shy and they saw

201
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: me with my text shirt on. They kind of gave

202
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: me a frown, so I said, you know what, I'm

203
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: going to keep walking.

204
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was. I was there, and I think I

205
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: have a picture on Twitter or something that that I'm

206
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 4: on the field and with the other fans that stormed

207
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: the field there, and it was like a lot of

208
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: people were asking, you know what, what's your thoughts, and

209
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: I was like, here's the picture, just to tell you

210
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: how how great it is and what my feeling is like.

211
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 4: That was one of my favorite games of all time,

212
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: just because you know, and it's and it's nothing against

213
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: Texas I have. I really don't have disrespect for Texas.

214
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 4: Of course, you know, I got people here in the

215
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: in the in the building, big Longhorn fans, But I

216
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: think it's more of a credit to them in the university.

217
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 4: When you beat Texas, you know, it's always a big deal,

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 4: regardless if they're at the top or not. So that

219
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: was a great way for me.

220
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: I love that it's back. I've gone down you know

221
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: memory Lane, the Randy Petrol catch against Arkansas in sixty nine.

222
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, Coach Broyles against Coach Royal. I mean it's

223
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic robbery. And I think we're all just blessed

224
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: again in our lifetime.

225
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 7: Be renewed.

226
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: And I knew Texas was in Not to belabor the

227
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: point or go off on a tangent, but I knew

228
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Texas was in trouble because we got there Friday morning

229
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: and we hung around campus and then Friday nights people

230
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: were just off the rails pep rallies. I was like,

231
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: Oh my god, has just walked into a war zone,

232
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: and sure enough we got Oh my gosh.

233
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: It was yeah, but it'll be It'll be fun. That

234
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 4: was That was a fun experience for me.

235
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: I bet so well. My question though, for the Cowboys

236
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: and for you, I know McCarthy has had experience using

237
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: a fullback in the past. I think John Coon from

238
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay is a prime example. He was a fan favorite,

239
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: but he was also I think he was quite the utility.

240
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: And I'm just wondering. I know, you know, Hunter Libke's

241
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: this kid from North Dakota State unheralded, but he's kind

242
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: of a cult hero. I mean, is he just a

243
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: preseason kind of flame or do you think he has

244
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: a role with his team?

245
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: Well, I think I don't think you keep Thanks for

246
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: the call. I appreciate it, and good luck to your

247
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: your team's uh this uh this week, we need it.

248
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: We need yeah, well maybe not against Rice, but but

249
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 4: you will you know, you definitely need to going into

250
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: the SEC. All right. Going back to the fullback question,

251
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 4: I don't think they keep players on the roster for

252
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: just preseason flashes and and and things like that. I

253
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: think that there is a role that they see for him,

254
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: and and and I think it's very similar to what

255
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: you mentioned about Kuhn in Green Bay, a utility guy.

256
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: He'll he'll grow into that a little bit more. What

257
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 4: I was told about him is really smart player. And

258
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 4: so when it starts there, when you got a guy

259
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: that knows knows what we're doing here, knows you know,

260
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: how how to play special teams, knows the offense, understands

261
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: different positions, smart enough to pick up other spots on

262
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 4: the field than that, he'll continue to grow. So I

263
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 4: think there's a role for him. I was a little

264
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 4: surprised that he made the team. I was actually surprised

265
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: because he hadn't done a whole lot before that. Even

266
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: the Seattle game, he was kind of like hard to

267
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: stay on his feet. He just he just didn't seem

268
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: like he really was ready for it. Had a nice

269
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: game and in the preseason finale, and I think that

270
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: they have a vision for him. So I think it's

271
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 4: more than just what they've seen. It's more about what

272
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 4: they think he can do. I'm sticking with the calls.

273
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: If I hear a call in my ear, I'm going

274
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: to the calls. So I know the text lines are there.

275
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 4: We're gonna get to it, but I'm gonna keep the

276
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: calls and the lines open. So we've got Lex in Pennsylvania.

277
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 4: What's up? Lex?

278
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: What's going on?

279
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 9: Nick?

280
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, appreciate.

281
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 9: It the great.

282
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 10: I just wanted to know who on the defense, other

283
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 10: than your normal names, Micah Diggs, who on the defense

284
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 10: needs to step up a lot for our defense to

285
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 10: take the next level. That's that's big.

286
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: I think I think guys that can step up a lot,

287
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 4: you know, and he wasn't here last year, so it's

288
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: hard to say step up. But Stefan Gilmore. The better

289
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 4: that he is, the better Digs is going to be.

290
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: And so the guys you just mentioned, you know you

291
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: you you're you're passing them, right, Diggs Micah. It's the

292
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: guys on the other side. If they can do what

293
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: they need to do, If Gilmour can be the corner

294
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 4: that they expect him to be, if Tank Lawrence, Dawrence

295
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 4: arms Strong, those guys can rush from the other side

296
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: and do what they need to do, that's only going

297
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: to allow the two that you mentioned to be better

298
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: and be all world like we think they're going to be.

299
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: And so that's the key for me. And also the

300
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: middle inside guys Osa Hankins, Mazzi Smith, you can shore

301
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: that up. They couldn't beat the Eagles in that game

302
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: in Philly last year because they couldn't stop the run. Yeah,

303
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: mikeh was doing his thing from the outside, but they

304
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: kind of controlled that and they could not stop the run.

305
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 4: Get that shored up. There's not a football game tonight

306
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: anywhere in the United States on Friday nine that if

307
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: the team doesn't stop the run, they're probably not gonna win.

308
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: That's Friday Night High School, that's tomorrow's college games, and

309
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: that's every Sunday as well. You have to stop the middle,

310
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: so I would say the guys opposite of your stars

311
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 4: and also the middle inside before we take a break.

312
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 4: We'll go one more phone call here before we're going

313
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: to take our first break. Who we got on the line.

314
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: We got Jake in south Lake? What's up?

315
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: What Nick?

316
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 11: How you're doing today? Man? Happy Friday?

317
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: Thank you. Happy Friday to you as well.

318
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 11: Hey, I just wanted to get your thoughts on a

319
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 11: few matchups next week. Thank you're most looking forward to

320
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 11: and we're talking.

321
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: I love it. We're talking. We're close enough to talk matchups.

322
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 4: I love it.

323
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, Well, well, whether you're excited or whether

324
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: it brings you some anxiety, I mean, I'm I'm personally

325
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: looking forward to Lawrence versus Martin.

326
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 11: That's always a good matchup. I'm also really interested to

327
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 11: see what c d and Brandon Cooks do those corners.

328
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 11: Dori Jackson, Deyonty Banks. I just want to get an idea.

329
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 11: I'm a little worried, uh at linebacker. Obviously Take one

330
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 11: is going to be a hell of a matchup there,

331
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 11: but I just want to get your idea, you know,

332
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 11: one matchup that you're really looking forward to watching and

333
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 11: one that kind of makes you a little nervous.

334
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: I'll hang up and let you, uh, thank you for

335
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: the call. You know it's I'm not gonna lie. I

336
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: haven't got I haven't turned it straight to the Giants

337
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: just yet, as far as you know, you kind of

338
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: know what they have a little bit and always and

339
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 4: always kind of know what type of game it's gonna be.

340
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: And and you know it's it's a it's a cop

341
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: out answer, but it's always one of the right answers.

342
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: Is right there in the center, like you, like you

343
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: mentioned Dexter Lawrence, uh how he's a great player. He

344
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: really his and and and he can kind of control

345
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: things in the in the middle for them, you know,

346
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 4: having Zach Martin obviously helps. And Tyler Biadish and Tyler Smith.

347
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: I'd like to see what what what you know they

348
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: can do on the interier there with that push. So

349
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: that's kind of where where to be where it'll start.

350
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: You you talked about the linebackers. You know, let's not

351
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: forget Daniel Jones. It can be elusive and and it's

352
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: not just Barkley. Daniel Jones can do some things with

353
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: his feet, and and that has that has plagued the

354
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 4: Cowboys the last few years. Sometimes when you're over aggressive,

355
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 4: it creates running lanes. And that's where I think that

356
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: that you know, third and nine, you think you're about

357
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 4: to get off the field, and then you let the

358
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 4: quarterback run for fifteen yards and they move the sticks,

359
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: and so that right there, I think is keeping containment

360
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: on Daniel Jones and not just worried about the weapons

361
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 4: that they have, because he can be a weapon with

362
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 4: his legs as well. And then obviously the middle on

363
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 4: the inside is always going to be a key, and

364
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 4: I think it definitely will be against the Giants aggressive defense.

365
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: All right, we're going to take a break here on

366
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: Cowboys storyline. Will be right back. We're trying to get

367
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 4: some of these text messages and more phone calls, be

368

405
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: getting the second half of the show. A lot of questions,

406
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: a lot of calls, a lot of texts in here.

407
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna grab a text real quick.

408
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: Here.

409
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 4: This is from Chris from WF I'm gonna say that's

410
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 4: which Tuft falls. I think he called the show last week.

411
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 4: Could be waiting for us, probably what taf falls? What

412
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 4: is up? Chris? His question is a little worried about linebacker.

413
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: He said, with Overshown injured for the season, the linebacker's

414
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 4: depth chart looks thin. Could the team look for anyone else.

415
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 4: You're always looking for other people. But just remember this

416
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 4: about linebacker, and they play at four to three, you

417
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: don't just have. You don't need six linebackers just because

418
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 4: you play at four three, because the linebackers don't stay

419
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 4: on the field that much. And they're gonna use jay

420
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: Ron Curse. When Donovan Wilson gets healthy, they're gonna use

421
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 4: him some. I think one Yae Thomas is gonna get also,

422
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: Marquise Bell forgot his name for a second. Just those

423
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: guys are they're gonna be playing a lot in there.

424
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 4: So you have your linebackers. I don't think it's gonna

425
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: be that much of an issue. I think that they'll

426
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: probably look for some help, as you know, from anybody

427
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 4: if you really need it if there's an injury. But

428
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: I think the way that dan Quinn wants to play,

429
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: they're gonna probably go a little bit lighter there as

430
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 4: far as size wise. When they get to the nickel

431
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: dine packages and really try to use more speed. There's

432
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: so many running quarterbacks these days that and tied in

433
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: that that could really hurt you. I think they're more

434
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 4: worried about that type of stuff than they are going

435
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: up against guys, you know, trying to run the ball

436
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: at them and really hurting them that way. I think

437
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 4: that's why you're going to see them go for speed

438
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: more than size. All right, back to the phone line,

439
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: Bob from Rio Grand Valley. Bob, what's up.

440
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 9: Hey, Nick?

441
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: Congratulations on the news show. It's great.

442
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 4: Thank you. I love it for Matt, thank you having

443
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: with it.

444
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: I bet I'm hyped about this year big time. I'm

445
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: gonna tell you why. First of all, I think we

446
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 2: got a juggern off for defense. The offensive coordinators that

447
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: we're going to be facing this year, This defense that

448
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: a D is put together, it's just going to be

449
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 2: an absolute night mare. It's gonna keep these guys up late,

450
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: pulling their hair out trying to figure out how to

451
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: stop it.

452
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 4: Agreed.

453
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: The offense, I am not concerned at all about our offense.

454
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: It's many, many times under Kellen Moore, we were so

455
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: predictable because we didn't have the number of weapons on

456
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: offense that we've got right now, this running back situation

457
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: that we've got, we're in the best shape that we've

458
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 2: been in years. We've got a variety of just offensive

459
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: power in so many ways, that we can come at defenses.

460
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: I hope that you agree with me and I and

461
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to listening to your shows for the

462
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: rest of the year. And I thank you very much

463
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: for having me on.

464
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: Thanks, Bob, I appreciate that. Thanks for the call. I

465
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: definitely agree with you on the defense. I just think

466
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: the defense is going to be is going to be

467
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 4: outstanding and has a chance to be the number one

468
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: defense in the league. They just have dynamic playmakers. You've

469
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 4: got a cornerback who is really, really good and one

470
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 4: of the best cornerbacks in the league in Trayvon Diggs.

471
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 4: And I think you have the overall best defensive player

472
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: in Michael Parsons. So you got those two guys right there,

473
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 4: and then you have a compliment of other players that's

474
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 4: that's outstanding. I'm not there to say on running back,

475
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 4: this is the best running back group that we've seen

476
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 4: since they've you know, since, you know, in a long time.

477
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 4: I'm not there yet. I'm not worried about it so much.

478
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying we have not seen Tony Pollard

479
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: as the starter all the time for a whole season.

480
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he can't do it. We just that's

481
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: something he's never done. Even in high school and college,

482
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 4: he didn't do that Rico Daddle. We haven't seen a

483
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 4: lot out of him on a consistent level, and the

484
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 4: induce you know, we know what we've seen in college,

485
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 4: we just haven't it hasn't happened yet in the pro

486
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: I'm not betting against him, so I think this is

487
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 4: a This is a very athletic running back room. But

488
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: you know, and then he got in Hunter Lifkey. Let's

489
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 4: not forget he might be your short yardage back too.

490
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: So it's it's got some promise, but I don't know

491
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: just yet if it's if I'm there to say this

492
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 4: is the best running back group, but it's different than

493
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 4: we've seen before, and sometimes different could be better. All right,

494
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 4: got another phone call. I forgot the name that we

495
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 4: have on the line here or Chris? Who we got? Joe?

496
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 4: How did I forget Joe? And Stanford? My man? Joe?

497
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: What's up?

498
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: Hey, bro?

499
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 9: So I have I've been doing mock drafts here in

500
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 9: the last few days and Jake Ferguson keeps falling way down.

501
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 9: Nobody's picking him. I have a feeling this is just

502
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 9: a feeling that He's going to get a lot more

503
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 9: targets than people anticipate, just because Dak really likes his

504
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 9: tight ends. What do you think?

505
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think so Tell me who else is?

506
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: Who else is falling on the on the list there?

507
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: You're talking fantasy football, So who else? Who else is?

508
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: Tell me what the other cowboy players are doing? What

509
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 4: does the CD lamb typically go.

510
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 9: He's going in the second round of my mobs. I

511
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 9: have eight person team and I'm running, and he probably

512
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 9: would go in the first in like ten or twelve

513
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 9: team drafts. But I'm doing an eight team league this

514
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 9: year for mine, and he's he's going early second. Is

515
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 9: Pollard's going late first, early second? Those are the main guys.

516
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting, Joe. Thanks, thanks for the call.

517
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: It's gonna be interesting with this group where we just

518
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 4: talked about how many playmakers you have, and that's what

519
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 4: everyone's excited about. If you're playing fantasy football, it's not

520
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 4: necessarily a great thing to have all these different options

521
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: out there. Some games, Gallup could have a big game.

522
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: Some games he doesn't cooks the same way, ceed you'll

523
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: probably get his catches that Pollard will get his touches.

524
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: As for Jake Ferguson, I think you're onto something there.

525
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: I mean, he would be a guy that I would

526
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: like to have on the team. They are going to

527
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: have multiple tight ends. But I just have a feeling

528
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 4: as well. I've said it all summer in training camp

529
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: that I think Ferguson's gonna be the guy. He's gonna

530
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 4: have maybe fifty catches or more, and he's got sneaky

531
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 4: athleticism that is going to get him down the field

532
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 4: and make some plays. So Ferguson, you know, I don't

533
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 4: if you're in a ten twelve team league, I mean,

534
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: you got to have twelve tight ends out there. I mean,

535
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 4: I think Ferguson's a guy that would be on some

536
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 4: rosters for fantasy football. And again, if you're into fantasy,

537
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: that's fine, but really it's all about production. Who's going

538
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 4: to make plays and everybody's excited about that. Going back

539
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: to the phone lines, we got another call here. Nope, no,

540
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: no call right now? I thought we had one. Oh sorry, Nick,

541
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 4: Nick in North Carolina. Chris is We've got it. Chris

542
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 4: being running crazy over here? Nick in North Carolina? What

543
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 4: is up? Man?

544
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 5: Hey?

545
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 15: You just want first saved. I watched the War Stories

546
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 15: to last night and it was phenomenal, awesome job by everyone.

547
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 4: It was so fun to watch favorite story. What was

548
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 4: your favorite? We had ten stories in that documentary, what

549
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 4: was your favorite?

550
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 15: The last one with Deuce there watching the full thing

551
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 15: with them playing that little joke that was that was

552
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 15: awesome to see. So that's always nice when you get

553
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 15: the draft your son and I just want to get

554
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 15: to my question and then I'll hang up and aptfully listen.

555
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 15: So I think I can share it for a lot

556
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 15: of the Cowboys fans who definitely share its huge just

557
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 15: stained for the Eagles, but you know they are have

558
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 15: a certain respect for him for what they've been doing.

559
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 15: So I just wanted to get your opinion on going in.

560
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 15: I know it's a long season, a lot of unknowns,

561
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 15: but how do you think they kind of stack up

562
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 15: with the Eagles? You know they were champs and division champs.

563
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 15: I just want to see what you think. But thank

564
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 15: can't wait to listen.

565
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 4: Thank you appreciate that. Nick. You're right, I mean, you

566
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 4: know you don't have to like the Eagles. I mean,

567
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: if you're a Cowboy fan, you you do not. That's

568
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 4: just that's just the way it goes and there's nothing

569
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with that. And and they certainly don't

570
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 4: like the Cowboys. They make that really clear, and it

571
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: is what it is. It's a it's a healthy rivalry

572
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 4: though you know it, you know it going in and

573
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: that's what makes it fun. Uh. College football is the

574
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 4: same way. You know, we live right here in Dallas

575
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: and they play Oklahoma, you know, Texas game every year

576
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 4: and I'm sorry, people probably think it's called Texas Oklahoma.

577
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 4: Either way, it's fun just to have rivalries like them,

578
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 4: and it should be with with respect. And I guarantee

579
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 4: you that the Cowboys are worried about, you know, playing

580
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 4: the Eagles and vice versa. I mean, look at last year.

581
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 4: Let's look at it. Nobody beat the other team, you know,

582
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 4: with both quarterbacks playing in the game. Yeah, the Cowboys

583
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: beat Gardner Minshew and the Eagles beat Cooper Rush, you know,

584
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 4: and both games were really close and competitive, and that's

585
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 4: why they're going to be. I think the Eagles the

586
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 4: one thing to watch, maybe not this year as much

587
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 4: as next year, but we're seeing it here. It's one

588
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: thing to have a quarterback that's really good, that's making

589
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: a million dollars when he's making fifty million a year.

590
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 4: That cuts into the pie. Let's see how you pay

591
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: the other guys and how the team is structured. The

592
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: Eagles have done a great job though with their roster.

593
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: They draft well, so it's going to be a challenge.

594
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys stack up with them. I think

595
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 4: there's three really good teams in the NFC, and I

596
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: think Dallas and Philly are two of them. Obviously San

597
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 4: Francisco is as well. There's other teams that they'll definitely compete,

598
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 4: but I think that's the top tier right now. So

599
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 4: we're going to find out how the Cowboys stack up

600
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 4: with them all. Right, back to the phone line again,

601
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 4: Felipe in France, Felipe, what is up? You didn't I'm

602
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: doing great? How are you?

603
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 16: I'm fine. We're under every weether, but that doesn't matter.

604
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 16: I would just call. I'm just calling because I love

605
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 16: this some new show. I think, uh, some Richards will

606
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 16: be the future on the online. I want to I

607
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 16: want you. I'd like you to to explain to detail

608
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 16: us what you saw and I don't have to know

609
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 16: any worries about you pass blocking. Uh, I just looked

610
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 16: at his college States and he's not afraid to stick

611
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 16: his nose in there and he was successful. Thanks for

612
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 16: taking Michael, take care, keep the good job going.

613
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: Thanks bye bye, thank you bye bye. All right, that's

614
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 4: uh a Wednesday. Were for the farthest h to call

615
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 4: Felipe from France and I think the first party was

616
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 4: saying about awesome Richards, just excited about him. And then

617
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 4: also Deuce not afraid to block, and that's fine. Not

618
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 4: afraid to block is one thing. Being able to do

619
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 4: it is another. He's going to have to do it well.

620
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 4: And sometimes with that just getting in the way, you know,

621
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: getting in the way and not you know, making sure

622
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: that there's a clear path to your quarterback. But on

623
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 4: the flip side of that is you know you can

624
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 4: you can attack if you want to. I always remember

625
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: the Eagles were really good at this back ten twelve,

626
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 4: fifteen years ago with Brian Westbrook. He was a guy

627
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 4: that the teams thought they could blitz at him, and

628
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 4: then what he would sneak around and they would throw

629
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 4: the ball over the blitzer's head and then now he's

630
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 4: in the clear. So there's different ways to attack blitzers.

631
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 4: Sometimes you have to get in there. Like you said,

632
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 4: stick your nose in there. Sometimes you can use that

633
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 4: to your advantage as well. All right, I'd like to

634
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: get another question here on the on the text line,

635
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: real real quick, before we go back to the phones,

636
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: Mike and Houston. How does the emergency quarterback rule work

637
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 4: on game day? You know the Cowboys. It has changed

638
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 4: over this year, and it happened because of the forty

639
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 4: nine Ers Eagles NFC championship game where they didn't have

640
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 4: enough if San Fransco didn't have enough quarterbacks. Now, if

641
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 4: you have a third quarterback on your roster, you he

642
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: can be one of your game day active players. But

643
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 4: instead of instead of just forty eight players, that he

644
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 4: can be a forty ninth guy in uniform. The other

645
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 4: two guys are going to have to be injured before

646
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 4: he comes in the game. But still that's you could

647
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 4: have three quarterbacks active. So there's no reason really, as

648
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 4: long as you keep three on your roster, there's no

649
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 4: reason why you shouldn't have three quarterbacks ready and healthy

650
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 4: to go. All right, back to the phone lines. We

651
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 4: got Tony in Atlanta.

652
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 8: What's up man, Hey, Hey, good morning.

653
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: Let's good morning to you.

654
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 8: So I'll be in New York. My wife and I

655
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 8: coming to New York for the game next next weekend,

656
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 8: so hopefully we can bring back a victory. But switching

657
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 8: gears right quick. Since I'm talking to the resident Cowboys historian,

658
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 8: we're we're about the same age, and our history kind

659
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 8: of dates together. So I've always kind of had an opinion,

660
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 8: and I want to get yours. I had an opinion

661
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 8: that when Parceales was hired, of course that coincided with

662
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 8: being cut. I always felt like Emmit could have been

663
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 8: like Parceales was like oj Anderson when he had him

664
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 8: in the Giants. He came and og Anderson was great

665
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 8: and they won a super Bowl and all that type stuff.

666
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 8: Obviously this team want to win the Super Bowl. But

667
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 8: I thought Emmy could have been that. But of course

668
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 8: emm it got cut. So besides money, of course, why

669
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 8: do you think par Sales didn't want him in?

670
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah?

671
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean to me, that's an easy, easy question

672
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: to answer there and usually they're not. But in this

673
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 4: particular case, and we appreciate the call, Tony. You know,

674
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: when a new coach is coming in, especially a coach

675
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: that has been this This was the fourth team that

676
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: he's been to, and he took over a Giant's team

677
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 4: in the eighties that was struggling and obviously made them

678
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 4: a powerhouse. New England was one of the worst teams,

679
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: and you know, changed the culture there, got them in

680
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. Jets same way, Cowboys, same way. You

681
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 4: have to change the culture, that's what you have to do.

682
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: And I love Emmitt Smith. I EMITTT. Smith is one

683
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 4: of my favorite players, and I think he's the most

684
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 4: valuable player that they had on the Triplets. They just

685
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: didn't win without EMMITTT Smith. EMITTT Smith, So I have

686
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: all in respect for him. But at that time, you know,

687
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: you got to remember two thousand and two, he had

688
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: made the comment about a diamond surrounded by trash. Maybe

689
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 4: that was taken out of contact, maybe it wasn't, But

690
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: you know, he was kind of in a different way

691
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 4: in his career, and I think they looked at this

692
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 4: and par Sales was like, I've got to change the

693
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 4: culture here. I've got to have different, different guys that

694
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 4: are ready to go and to do it my way.

695
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 5: Now.

696
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: It wasn't every veteran. He loved what Darren Woodson was

697
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 4: able to do and bought in but you know, Emmett

698
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 4: had like nine hundred and seventy five rushing yards I

699
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 4: think it was in two thousand and two. So that

700
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 4: team was not really very good, and he was he

701
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 4: was at the kind of the end of his career,

702
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 4: so I think all in all, it's not like he

703
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 4: still had a lot left. Plus it was it was

704
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: better for Bill Parcells to kind of change the dynamic

705
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: and go with different style of runners. That's kind of

706
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 4: why he did it. Right there, all right, I don't

707
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: hear another call. We were a little bit past our time,

708
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 4: so this is a good time for us to wrap

709
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 4: it up. Second second show in a row where we

710

Speaker 4: love talking to you guys. Ten calls. Is that what

00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 4: I just heard in my ear? Ten calls? And that's

714
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 4: that's amazing for a thirty minute ish show. This is

744
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what. Person for person, it seems

745
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 7: like we have the same talent in Dallas. We just

746
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 7: got to maybe shake off the monkey on the back

747
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 7: and get it going. But no kidding. You play those

748
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 7: two teams and I don't know who wins the best

749
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 7: out of three.

750
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 4: Wow, that's I mean, that's that's that's a good statement

751
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 4: right there, you know, and I think Cowboy fans will

752
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: take that right now. So what's your question?

753
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: You have?

754
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 4: You have a question?

755
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just wanted to throw in the last question.

756
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 7: You know, we heard a lot about Micah and getting

757
00:36:54,600 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 7: his training this summer and last spring and bulking up

758
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 7: a little bit. What do you think is he? Is

759
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 7: he on pace? What's the over under on twenty sacks?

760
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 7: And I'll hang up and listen, brother.

761
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, thank you. Twenty sacks would be would

762
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 4: be amazing for Micah to have that. I it's it

763
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 4: was tough to tell at training camp because you know,

764
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 4: this team has had some some issues on the offensive line.

765
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 4: You know, Tyron didn't practice every time, and even when

766
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 4: he does them, he has he has problems with Michael Parsons,

767
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 4: Terrence Steele working back in to practice. He didn't practice

768
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: every day either. He also has problems then can you

769
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 4: can imagine, well, let's go awesome, Richards Ball, Earl Bostic,

770
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 4: whoever they threw out their tackle. I mean, everyone's gonna

771
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: have some problems with with him. Now, how do they

772
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 4: scheme him up? I mean, how does our offense is

773
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 4: gonna scheme against Micah? That's gonna be a big, big

774
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 4: question mark. But when it comes to just able to

775
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 4: rush off the edge, he seems like he is on

776
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 4: another level this year than he was before, ready to go.

777
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 4: I'm really excited about him, and I think, you know,

778
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 4: I twenty sacks just so hard to get that just

779
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: seems out so far out there. If you were to like,

780
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 4: can he get you know, that's still won a game

781
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: and that's that didn't even get you there. So I

782
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 4: think I've seen it happen with with where I've never

783
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: seen a guy go over twenty. So I'm just gonna

784
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 4: say under to that because I think that they're gonna

785
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 4: have to other guys are gonna have to help with that.

786
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 4: He can still be disruptive. I always say this the

787
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 4: term that the term horseshoes and hand grenades. You know,

788
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 4: close only only counts to those two. And I always

789
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: have said, and pass rush, you should throw pass pass

790
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: rushing in there as well, because you could be close

791
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: to the quarterback. You didn't get the sack, but you

792
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 4: knocked them and the ball would you know, four yards

793
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: into the ground and now they're having a punt and

794
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 4: you did your job. If it's a pressure, it wasn't

795
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 4: a sack, but you can get close. And so I

796
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 4: think that's gonna happen. I think Mike is gonna have

797
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 4: an outstanding year. We got a guy on the line.

798
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 4: I don't want to just leave them hanging. So Costas

799
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 4: is that right from from New Jersey?

800
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 17: Yeah, it is, Thanks for taking the call. I actually

801
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 17: met I actually met you once in Jersey, oh enough

802
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 17: to say hello and stop for a second.

803
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 4: Oh cool man.

804
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 17: So I have a back in the day question because

805
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 17: we're so football stars, me and my cowboy friends from

806
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 17: up here. We're going back and discussing if there was

807
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 17: one play in cowboy history that you could change, what

808
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 17: what would it be?

809
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 13: Like?

810
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 17: I'm stuck on the second.

811
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 4: I need the Super Bowl. I need three plays you

812
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 4: get you're stuck on the second.

813
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 17: Super Bowl, the second stealer Super Bowl, Oh.

814
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, with Jackie Smith.

815
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 17: Yeah, the Jackie Smith game. But more than that, the

816
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 17: bogus past interference, the non call in the end zone.

817
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: So I got three, what plays would you change?

818
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 4: I got three? And and and okay, and and you

819
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: The first one is the nineteen ninety four NFC Championship game.

820
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 4: The Cowboys were down twenty one to nothing, came back

821
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 4: and were fighting back into that game. They were down

822
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: by ten and Deon Sanders absolutely grabbed Michael Irvin's arm

823
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 4: at the five yard line. It should have been pass interference.

824
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 4: It would have been first and goal in the five.

825
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 4: Dallas will score, and it's going to be thirty eight

826
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: to thirty five with five minutes to go. That's what

827
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 4: I want to see. I want to see what happened

828
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 4: right then. If the Cowboys could have come back and

829
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 4: won that game, it would have been unbelievable. They would

830
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 4: have killed the Chargers in the Super Bowl. I just

831
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 4: wanted to see. I wanted to see that pass interference

832
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 4: call and Deon Sanders and then see what happens the

833
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 4: second play I wanted. I mean, I want to see

834
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 4: the field goal go in in Seattle the one that

835
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 4: Romo dropped the ball. And now now this goes the

836
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 4: same with the third one. Obviously Dez caught the football.

837
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 4: There's no doubt he caught the ball. What happens the

838
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 4: balls on the one yard line? Do they score right away?

839
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 4: Do they go for two and go up by three?

840
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 4: Because you know they were down five, they're gonna go

841
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 4: for two. If they score, it's still got to stop

842
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. So I haven't ever, I haven't ever really

843
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 4: gotten too upset by that one because I just they

844
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: probably weren't gonna stop Aaron Rodgers.

845
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 17: But well there was four two less than that game.

846
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 9: That's well, yeah, we come back to that.

847
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 4: So let's see what But those are the things. Those

848
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 4: are the three I wanted to see what happened. There

849
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 4: was still about you know, four to five minutes and

850
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 4: two games and about a minute and another one. You

851
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 4: still had to stop them. But I wanted to see

852
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 4: those three players are the ones that just pop up.

853
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: I love the question. I love the question. I'm probably

854
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 4: missing some, but those those three, for sure, I would

855
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 4: have I would have liked to see differently.

856
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 17: The only other one we discussed was the cold Super

857
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 17: Bowl with the fumble that was overturned somehow.

858
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one's a little shaky for me. I don't

859
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 4: I don't go that far back. I know that was

860
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 4: the one Halley was the MVP, and there were some

861
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 4: weird things that happened. Bob Lily threw his helmet one

862
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 4: hundred yards and all that stuff. I mean, every loss

863
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 4: is going to have that. I mean, I can tell

864
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 4: you one if you're a little bit older, I can

865
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 4: tell you play that a lot of fans would say

866
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 4: was the one where Drew Pearson caught the ball after

867
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 4: the catch Dwight Clark's catch, the Cowboys are driving, they're

868
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 4: only down one, and the guy Horse callers, they don't

869
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 4: call that. I mean, that wasn't a rule, but it

870
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 4: was so close Drew Pearson's breaking away. They get five

871
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 4: to ten more yards in field goal range, probably to

872
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 4: win that game and go to the Super Bowl and

873
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 4: probably crush the Bengals. So you know, that's another one

874
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 4: too that I'm sure that old school Cowboy fans would

875
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 4: would remember. And you know there's the list goes on

876
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 4: and on. You know, here's one more. I'll give you

877
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 4: one more. Any quarterback is gonna fumble the ball when

878
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 4: Jeff Heath comes flying off the edge and just smashed

879
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. If he fumbles that football, this is the

880
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 4: sixteen season and the divisional round, I mean, Jeff Heath's

881
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 4: career is different. They fumble the ball, they get it.

882
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 4: Dan Bailey makes that field goal, you know, and the

883
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 4: Cowboys go to the championship game. I can't believe Aaron

884
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 4: Rodgers held out of the football.

885
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 8: He did.

886
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 4: And then of course he makes to throw on the

887
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,479
Speaker 4: sideline and he does the Aaron Rodgers thing. But but yeah,

888
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 4: those great seasons always end in kind of a weird way.

889
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 4: And so that's a really fun question, well sort of fun.

890
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 4: Not not fun to relive it all, but but good,

891
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 4: good question to think about. And as long as my

892
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 4: producer Chris Beam is going to say another call, and

893
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 4: I know he's getting angry maybe over there, but if

894
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 4: he wants to keep going, we're gonna keep going. All right.

895
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 4: We got another guy from Washington State? Was it Shane?

896
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 4: Is that what I heard?

897
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 7: Yes?

898
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 18: Sir, Hey Nick, I just want to say, the interaction

899
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 18: with the fans on this show is second to none.

900
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 5: This is awesome.

901
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 18: I love to keep counting them out.

902
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 9: This is awesome.

903
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I agree. Actually it's fun. It's fun

904
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 4: for me as well. And this is this is what

905
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 4: I love to do. I love to talk to you guys.

906
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 4: When I see you guys on road trips and people

907
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 4: are training camp, people stop and say hey, what's up,

908
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 4: and questions like that make me go back and remember things.

909
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I absolutely love it, so.

910
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 18: Uh go ahead, Yeah to two real quick ones. One

911
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 18: was this Eagleton's idea? Was it yours on this new show?

912
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 18: And how'd you feel about it? And the second one

913
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 18: was is I know Mazzie's a run stuff or that's

914
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 18: what we got him, but don't you see him playing

915
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 18: the three downs just to collapse that pocket for the

916
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 18: guy guys on the outside to eat. I mean I

917
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 18: threw this question out a couple of times. I don't

918
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 18: know if he answered it or not. But anyway, thank

919
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 18: you so much for taking my call.

920
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. To go back to the first part,

921
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 4: I mean kind of a collaboration of what we're doing,

922
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 4: you know, just with these podcasts. I mean, we feel like,

923
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if master's the right word. I mean,

924
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 4: has anybody ever mastered the podcast? But I mean like

925
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 4: we've We've done it well with three people, four people.

926
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 4: You know, we've we've done a pretty good job. We

927
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 4: have six, seven, eight podcasts you know, in this this format,

928
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 4: which is a lot of fun too to have different

929
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 4: people talking and all that. We wanted to try something

930
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 4: a little different and so it was just it was

931
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 4: just kind of an idea that's been thrown out. Yeah,

932
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 4: I would say like a year or two ago, and

933
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 4: this studio was actually just perfect for it now. I'm

934
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 4: not saying we wouldn't have done it before, but I

935
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 4: think it's just it's just the perfect timing to do it.

936
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 4: We've got a lot of people and a lot of

937
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 4: the shows, and so it's just something that there was

938
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 4: a brainstorming thing that's kind of been in the works,

939
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 4: and we said why not. Why not do it now?

940
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 4: So that's kind of what we've done. And to go

941
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 4: back to your Mazzie question, you know they have depth though,

942
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 4: I mean three three line three downs for him, I mean,

943
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 4: he hasn't proven that he is the guy that you

944
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 4: just can't take off the field. I mean Aaron Donald

945
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 4: a defensive tackle JJ Watt when when he played it.

946
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 4: I mean guys like that, you're like Okay, he's got

947
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 4: to be on the field. But but the rotation of

948
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 4: with with him and Hankins and and Osa and Gallimore.

949
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's it's important to to kind

950
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 4: of keep that going there until Mazi or anybody gets

951
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 4: to the point where they're just so dominant that that

952
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 4: it's going to be hard to do that. But that's

953
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 4: for right now. You know, they they have so many

954
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 4: edge rushers that will probably slide inside, you know, on

955
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 4: third and nine. Who's rushing in the past, We've got

956
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 4: Michael one side, you're gonna have you might have a

957
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 4: Sam Williams or Dorance Armstrong. They're gonna put tank inside.

958
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 4: So that takes up some some of the downs and

959
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 4: the rushing as well. So it's a fun problem to have,

960
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 4: is who stays on the field who doesn't. If you've

961
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 4: got that much talent, that's only a great thing for

962
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 4: dan Quinn and people that they want to see this

963
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 4: defense succeed. So all right, that is gonna that. Oh man,

964
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 4: I try to I say, that's gonna be the last call,

965
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 4: but it wasn't. Isaac from Houston, what's up man, Isaac?

966
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 19: Hey, Nick, how are you doing?

967
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 4: I'm doing great? You're you're the third last caller of

968
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 4: the show. And I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say

969
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 4: that there won't be a fourth. But what do you got, man.

970
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 19: I'll be quick. Hey, just a question that I feel

971
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 19: like draws from like the current team needs as well.

972
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 19: It's just some of the history you have from the team.

973
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 19: If you could take one Cowboys all great from our

974
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 19: history and plug them into our current team, what player

975
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 19: would you pick?

976
00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 9: And why?

977
00:46:59,840 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 7: So?

978
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 4: I think we got this call yes, a couple of

979
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 4: days ago, man, and I just I just like kind

980
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 4: of frozen. I was like Darren Woodson, I mean, I

981
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 4: was my favorite player of all time, and I think

982
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 4: he can play in any era. And now that's probably

983
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 4: not the best answer though, because the safety position is

984
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 4: pretty strong. I mean with you got Hooker, Curse, Donovan

985
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 4: Wilson and some of these young guys too. So I

986
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 4: don't know if that's the right question. So let me

987
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 4: let me think. Okay, the wait, you could easy you

988
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 4: could easily take like a kicker, you know what, and

989
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 4: just know that you've got like you know, twenty twelve thirteen,

990
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 4: Dan Bailey, that's gonna make all the kicks that would

991
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 4: be one. Chris Beam just said in my ear, always

992
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 4: a good one. Larry Allen. I mean he's gonna he's

993
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 4: moved Tyler Smith to a tackle position or whatever. And

994
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 4: Larry Allen and now you got one of the strongest

995
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 4: groups of all time there. I you know, there's so

996
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 4: many good answers there. You know, I'd take Jason Whitten

997
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 4: in his prime here at the tid end position, just

998
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 4: just a guy that could that you know is going

999
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 4: to be able to get you first downs and and

1000
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 4: and just be so solid in every area. So you know,

1001
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 4: I'm taking Hall of famers here. But that's kind of

1002
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 4: what the question is. What about you? What is your

1003
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 4: what would be your answer to that?

1004
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 19: You know, actually I think it'd be Larry Allen. I

1005
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 19: feel like I feel like it plugs in with this

1006
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 19: team though, like this offensive line again we don't know

1007
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 19: like it could be great this year, but based on

1008
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 19: kind of what we feel like could happen in some history,

1009
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 19: Like if you plug in Larry Allen with Zach Martin,

1010
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 19: you've got centers, You've got like it it's just it could.

1011
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 19: I feel like it could put this offense over the top.

1012
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 19: Who knows, you know, Personalities and all that, but just

1013
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 19: just hypothetically speaking, I would love to see Larry Allen

1014
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 19: sure plug into our line.

1015
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 4: Well, and you know that's that's great to say and

1016
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 4: great to have. But but you know, Tyler Smith from

1017
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 4: a strength standpoint, he's not going to be mentioned seven

1018
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 4: hundred pounds, I don't think. But but I think he's

1019
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 4: the strongest guy that they have there, and he's young,

1020
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 4: and he's smart and and so an athletic, So those

1021
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 4: those traits right there. I mean, I'm not calling him

1022
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 4: the next the reality even though he wears seventy seventy three,

1023
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 4: but I do think that that he honors that number,

1024
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 4: He respects the heck out of Larry as a player,

1025
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 4: and models his game to the point to maybe be

1026
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 4: that guy. So that that's all that's exciting. You're definitely

1027
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 4: not going to put him in that category, uh yet

1028
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 4: at all. I mean, Zach Martin's trying to get into

1029
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 4: that category, and then he's trying to get into Zach Martin's.

1030
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 4: But still, if you can, if you can get close

1031
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 4: to the La, you can get if you can, if

1032
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 4: you can just be an ox Snard, you know, like

1033
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 4: that close to LA's level, that would be great enough

1034
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 4: for Tyler.

1035
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 7: Smith, fantastic.

1036
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 4: Thanks all right, thank you, that's gonna do it. We're

1037
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 4: gonna do it. Don't tell me another call. We're done.

1038
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 4: We went twenty minutes over, but it absolutely fun. This

1039
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,919
Speaker 4: was I thought Wednesday was my favorite show. This one tops.

1040
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 4: If we can keep doing that, that's only gonna be

1041
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 4: super great for the fans, for me, for everyone. This

1042
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 4: is a really fun show. And uh and I love

1043
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 4: that you guys are part of it. So have a

1044
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 4: great weekend. Be safe this holiday weekend. Watch some football.

1045
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 4: Get ready because this is the last one. This is

1046
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 4: the last one where your fingernails are gonna be okay.

1047
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 4: After that the season starts. I can't wait for it,

1048
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,400
