1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: What is up everyone? We are back Cowboys storyline. Feels

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: like it's been a long time, especially now we're doing

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: these shows once a week. This feels a long time

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: ago since it was last Tuesday when we did the show.

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: Here we are Tuesday, January twenty third. We're back to

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: the weekly format. Of course, storyline, we're geting to go

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: twice a week. We go on Tuesdays and Thursdays at

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: one o'clock. It's been a while since I've said good

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: afternoon on a storyline. We did that back in training camp.

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Of course, different time slots mean different schedules for you guys.

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of curious on a week and a half,

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: some of the same colors that we had before, maybe

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: we pick up some new callers, maybe a little bit

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: of both. So excited about that. The best part about

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: the one o'clock for me, maybe not for Chris Beam

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: in the back, is that we really don't have another

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,639
Speaker 2: show behind us here like we've had in the past.

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: Of course, with the ten o'clock time slot. We had

23
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: cowboys break there at eleven, you know, and had brought

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: us coming through the door and Derek looking at his watch.

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: You know, we don't have that right now, so we

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: can we can't go longer. If we need to, we'll

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: see what happens there. So the plan is to go

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: about an hour, but you know, if the if the

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: phones are ringing off the hook, we we'll stay for

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: a little bit as long as Chris doesn't have to

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: leave or anything like that. So that's kind that's kind

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: of the reason why we went to the afternoon see

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: if we can have a little bit longer show, give

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: you guys an opportunity to call in because I'm sure

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: you have things to say, a lot going on, even

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: though there's not a lot going on, h you know.

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: And that's what's weird about the off season. There's always things,

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: the questions to answer. There's all stuff happening. But what

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: you want to be happening is playing for an NFC

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: championship game. Again, I don't know anything about that. All right,

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,120

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: We know a lot of people that can't call that

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: they like to throw their opinions out there as well,

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: so we're monitoring that as well. But we'll start with

Speaker 4: In case anybody wants to say, it's California.

60
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hey that's that was That was a heated exchange.

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: My guy was upset, and I don't blame him. A

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: lot of people are upset. I was. I was, you know,

63
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: I was pissed off too, So I get it. What

64
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: do you got, Brian? What's on your mind?

65
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 6: I just got a.

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: Couple of things for you today. So one is I

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: want your opinion and then I want to know what

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: you think the Cowboys are going to do. What's your

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: And then I got a player that I'd like to

70
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 4: hear a little bit more, an older player, I want

71
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 4: to hear something about it. So for me, I don't

72
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: think it's even close. I thought it should have been

73
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: offensive line last year. I want offensive line. I want

74
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: front and center this offseason.

75
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: Literally and.

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: Well, I you know I told you last year. I

77
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: when they took Scoonmaker instead of Osyrus Torrens in the

78
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: second round, I smashed my remote. Yeah, I couldn't believe,

79
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: like every pundit in the world said the biggest need

80
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: for the Cowboys was offensive line, and they.

81
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 7: Didn't do it.

82
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: And you know that's that's That's what I'm hoping for

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: that one of these that I've listened to enough of

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: the draft shows on You Guys and g bag Nation

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: to hear that that it's a really good tackle class

86
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: and there's some really good centers. So I'm hoping that's so.

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: But I want to know what your priorities are and

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: then what do you think the Cowboys are going to do?

89
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 4: And then for my old time player, I'm going to

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: stick with my guns on I love hearing about people

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 4: that work there. How about any story you got on

92
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: Danny McCrae, man, and I'll hang up, have a great one.

93
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's funny you say that because I just finished

94
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: lunch maybe seven minutes ago, ten minutes ago with Danny McCrae,

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: who he's a boy where I start with that, but

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: let me wait on that one often line. I agree

97
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: with you that it's a it's a priority. It's going

98
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: to be a priority. And the interesting thing about what

99
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: the team is going to do is, you know, it's

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: tough because you you still don't know. You know, free

101
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: agency comes first, so they always like to put band

102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: aids on certain positions just so you don't have to

103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: go into a draft going we have to get this

104
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: because you don't want nobody wants that. That's when people

105
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: will jump ahead of you in the trade and all that.

106
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: If everyone knows you need this and whether they're going

107
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: to be picking twenty four, it's not good to be

108
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: saying I need anything unless it's like a kicker or

109
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: a punter or something like that, which you know you

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: know you're gonna get first DIBs on. But even at center,

111
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: if there is a guy there. I mean, everyone needs

112
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: a good center too, So if there's a really good

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: quality center, he may not last that long. I think

114
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: that they will. I think they'll go to offensive line,

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: you know, early in the draft. I mean for a

116
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: second or third round. They're gonna, they're gonna they have to,

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: you know, they have to keep getting offensive line. But

118
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: it's just really hard to answer draft questions in January

119
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: knowing that you don't know who your center is going

120
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: to be. Be honest as a free agent. I don't

121
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: think he returns. I don't. I think he goes and

122
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: gets money somewhere else. And I think that deep down

123
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: they'll be fine with that. At running back, don't know,

124
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows, who knows who the running back is.

125
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if running back's a good spot there

126
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: at twenty four either this particular year. But I personally,

127
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: you know, I would just keep throwing resources at that

128
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: offensive line because you have to run the football better.

129
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: And I think that you can do a better job

130
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: of running the ball by fixing the line than you

131
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: can if you try to go get this dynamic back.

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: Because if he's that dynamic that can run through a line,

133
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: that's just Okay, he's not lasting until twenty four. You know,

134
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: I think we saw that last year a couple of

135
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: running backs went in the top twelve. I think teams

136
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: are looking at value of really good backs, and I'm

137
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: not even sure there is that type of back in

138
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: this draft. Danny McCrae question on Danny McCray. I mean, god,

139
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: there's there's so many. I mean, I really really liked

140
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: him as a player. You know, we've got to know

141
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: him now a little bit. He's an outstanding, outstanding person.

142
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: But you know, I just remember I remember talking to

143
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: him and he was like, you know, he was an

144
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: undrafted free agent and I was like, wearing number forty. Huh,

145
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: undrafted from an SEC school number forty. And he was like, yeah,

146
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: got big suites to fill. And he was like, I

147
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. I was like, you

148
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: know Bill Bates, special team star, you know number forty

149
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: played at Tennessee. You know, he was like, no, he

150
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: never heard of Bill Bates. He's like, no, not really,

151
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: but you know, and why would he know? But then

152
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: he goes and leads the team and special teams tackles

153
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: two years in a row, and you know it started

154
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: being mentioned in the same sentence with guys that have

155
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: done it, like Bill Bates, and so I certainly grew

156
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: in appreciation for that. But I could probably tell ten

157
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: fifteen funny stories of Danny McCrae. And you know, I

158
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: actually pick his brand sometimes because I'm like, you're on

159
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: the challenge, you know, you're on with you know, I

160
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: used to watch those MTV challenges and Real World road

161
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Rules all that stuff, and you know he's on here

162
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: doing these challenges with with some of these people that

163
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: used to watch on TV. I think that's kind of

164
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: cool too. So anyways, that's Dany McCrae. All right, let's go,

165
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 2: let's move on. Let's go to Joe and Stanford. What's up, Joey, Nick?

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm good. How are you doing? You made it one o'clock?

167
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I took a hiatus from all Cowboys media.

168
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

169
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 8: In fact, I didn't even finish watching the game until

170
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 8: last night. Yeah, about the middle of the third quarter,

171
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 8: I got up. I don't ever do that, but I

172
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 8: just couldn't take it anymore. I was really pissed off.

173
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: How it looked like a week.

174
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 8: Later, well still like crap uh, but like.

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: Oh, Jake ferguson touchdown.

176
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 8: You know, I mean I was like, wow, that was decent.

177
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 8: What you know some of the stuff that happened, But

178
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 8: they were playing against a second stringers an umbrella defense,

179
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 8: and yeah, I mean I don't take a lot from that.

180
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 8: I'll be honest with you. You know, I was glad

181
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 8: to see Michael.

182
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 7: Gallup get a little bit more looks.

183
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 8: I think it was cool that Dak sort of said,

184
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 8: okay is CD and I can't figure this out. I've

185
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 8: got to turn to somebody. And the fact that he

186
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 8: went to Gallop shows how he feels about him. So

187
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 8: I think that's a positive thing. And I do agree.

188
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 8: I think Michael will be coming back this year. Two

189
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 8: things I wanted to cover. I've got a bunch of things,

190
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 8: but we've got the whole off season to talk. So

191
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 8: the first thing is the coaching. So you know, whether

192
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 8: we agree or disagree, you know, Mike McCarthy's coming back,

193
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 8: and it looks like Dan Flinn will come back if

194
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 8: he doesn't get a new job. I don't know how

195
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 8: I feel about any of that. The things that bug

196
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 8: me the most about the coaching is well, I don't

197
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 8: know if the most it's old it's everything pretty much.

198
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 8: So not only did we get totally dominated x'es and

199
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 8: O's wise, but we have had an absolute lack of

200
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 8: discipline the entire season, and it has been a story

201
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 8: year after year of being one of the most highly

202
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 8: penalized teams in the NFL. So I'm really sick of that.

203
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 8: I don't feel like they're being held accountable. I don't

204
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 8: know if Mike can figure out the lack of discipline thing,

205
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 8: the x IS and O thing, I think, you know,

206
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 8: really studying these teams that are that are game planning

207
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 8: so much better and beating them just literally wide open, crazy,

208
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 8: how wide open those guys were getting. And the fact

209
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 8: that our defense, I mean is just crazy on both

210
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 8: sides of the ball. How bad we got out coached,

211
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 8: you know, that part of it. I think they can

212
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 8: figure out. But the lack of discipline thing, it seems

213
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 8: like he would have figured that out by now. And

214
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 8: you know, you can only go back to the coaches, man,

215
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 8: you can only go back to them.

216
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've wrestled with that for for twenty years. I

217
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,359
Speaker 2: don't know what you do with discipline issues, with on penalties.

218
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: I mean, this is in high school. I mean laps.

219
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: I mean what, I don't know. I really don't know,

220
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: benching players are.

221
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 8: The whole men accountable now because it's just generation generationally

222
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 8: a different thing. So what Mike might have done fifteen

223
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 8: to twenty years ago to twenty five year old men,

224
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 8: he just can't do now.

225
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: I think, though, I don't think they put enough emphasis

226
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: saying just the Cowboys. I think some teams don't put

227
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: as much emphasis on getting players that understand the game,

228
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: that really understand that are playing that like football, because

229
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: there's guys out there that don't really like football, but

230
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: they're good at it and they can play it, but

231
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: they don't really understand the games. They don't understand situational football.

232
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: They don't understand that it's not okay to hit a

233
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: player in the face here because he said a name

234
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: to you or whatever, and it's third and twelve and

235
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: now you're back on the field. I don't think. I

236
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: don't think sometimes the Cowboys have the smartest players out

237
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: there in certain situations, and that's something you can figure

238
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: out in the draft. You know, that's to be a

239
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: tiebreaker to me.

240
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 8: So I don't know we do good on talent, but yeah,

241
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 8: that and character wise, I think we struggle. I'll be

242
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 8: honest with you. The most talented player on the team

243
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 8: is extremely low character in my opinion. Now it may

244
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 8: just be a maturity thing or whatever, but I have

245
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 8: been highly disappointed in Michael Parsons, the way he talks

246
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 8: about his teammates, the way he's always trying to recruit

247
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 8: better players onto the team. I think the best thing

248
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 8: mikel could do this offseason is to learn how to

249
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 8: shut his mouth and gain a little bit of maturity

250
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 8: in character. And I think that goes right along with

251
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 8: everything else that I see with this team is a

252
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 8: lot of talent, not a lot of character, not a

253
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 8: lot of discipline, and it's getting old. I mean, I'm

254
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 8: never going to stop rooting for the Cowboys, but man like,

255
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 8: I can't even be around people when I watch the

256
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 8: games because it pisces me off so much sometimes, and

257
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 8: I know that's weird to be so, I mean, I

258
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 8: can't help but to root for him, but I want

259
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 8: to have joy from it, not anger. And that sucks

260
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 8: to be so pissed off about the thing you care

261
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 8: the most about.

262
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 2: So why are the things all right? Joe?

263
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 8: Let's be quick, Okay, you know what, Yeah, we'll.

264
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: Just's okay, it's okay, let's let's let's be quick about it.

265
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 8: Let's go Okay, So, I don't see how we're gonna

266
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 8: sign Dak, CD and Mica to the max contracts that

267
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 8: they're all going to demand. I just don't see it.

268
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 8: I don't know what the solution is. I know everybody

269
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 8: thinks that that they're wizards as far as the tower

270
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 8: cap goes. But I just don't see how we can

271
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 8: sign all three of those guys. And if I had

272
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 8: my choice, I get to number one from Michael Parsons

273
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 8: and move on.

274
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: All right, good, all right, thanks? Oh I'm not touching

275
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: that one right now. You know, they don't have to

276
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: sign those guys to max deals this year. They don't

277
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: have to sign any of them to any of any

278
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: contract this year. Those three guys is going to be

279
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: a challenge. Uh. They could probably sign one or two

280
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: of them and maybe create some space maybe CD. So

281
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: you really don't have to do that right now. All right,

282
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff to touch there, we will. I

283
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: think that was probably more just venting than anything good

284
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: stuff though. Always. All right, let's let's get let's go

285
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: to a text question before we get on the line here.

286
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: This is from Dan and Philly. He says, the only

287
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: thing worse than Cowboys early exit to the playoffs storyline

288
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: only twice a week. Appreciate that, but if you think

289
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: about it, most of these other shows are going once.

290
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: So I feel like it's a treat for us to

291
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: go twice. Hopefully you guys see it that way. He says,

292
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: if if Quinn does leave, how does this effect the

293
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: rest of the defensive staff. I would imagine he'll be

294
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: taking some of them with him and his blast with

295
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: the passes. Alf fred O Roberts, Fredo Roberts, I didn't

296
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: really cover him. Yeah, heh Miami guy, for sure. He

297
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: knew a lot of those guys, uh and the Jimmy

298
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: you know coaches and and Michael Irvin and all those stuff.

299
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: But you know, it seems like they always had like

300
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: a second or third tight end that was you know,

301
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: that didn't do a whole lot, blocked a lot, and

302
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: then every once in a while we'll catch a touchdown pass.

303
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: All right. Defensive coaches, Yeah, I think if Dan does leave,

304
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: I think he'll take home. They'll have to decide if

305
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: one of these coaches going to be the coordinator here.

306
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: You know, would it be a Joe Witt, would it

307
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: be Al Harris? Maybe? Does he take somebody with him? Yeah,

308
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of moving parts here for sure.

309
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's go Rob in Vegas.

310
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, what's up?

311
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: Well he's back.

312
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 9: We knew McCarthy was going to come back, even though

313
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 9: I didn't want him back, But I knew Jeffy wasn't.

314
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 9: Jeffy wants to be comfortable. He wants to win, but

315
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 9: being comfortable is more important right now. And he only

316
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 9: made two uncomfortable moves his whole life as owner with

317
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 9: Jimmy and Bill Parcells, because he needed something in return.

318
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 9: The rest of you hired some scrub coaches if you

319
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 9: really think about it, Chan Gaily and Dave Campbell had

320
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 9: no business being a coach for the Dallas Cowboys.

321
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this isn't one of those situations, you know.

322
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I don't think this is that this is.

323
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 9: Well, I think that I think it is. I think

324
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 9: it's let's say say you had two great coaches available,

325
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 9: Harbaugh and Belichick, which is never happens. And if you're

326
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 9: not gonna if you're not going to pull the trigger,

327
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 9: on those two guys and you're sticking with McCarthy, then,

328
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 9: to me, you're just afraid of change and you don't

329
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 9: want to You don't want to be uncomfortable at eighty

330
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 9: years old or whatever he is. And I get it.

331
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 9: I mean, he's the owner of the team and this

332
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 9: is what we see for thirty years. But you know,

333
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 9: I also have changed my mind after watching the playoffs

334
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 9: and watching these teams. I always felt you needed a

335
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 9: top quarterback to win in this league, and I don't

336
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 9: believe that anymore. I think the best model now is

337
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 9: what the forty nine ers do.

338
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 10: You build a really good.

339
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 9: Roster on both sides of the ball. You put in

340
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 9: a good quarterback who's not killing you money wise, and

341
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 9: that's the way you should build a team. And that's

342
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 9: what the Cowboys should do should They should Number one

343
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 9: turn around and see if they could trade Michael Parsons

344
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 9: in the off season. Call up Chicago. We don't know

345
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 9: if Chicago's keeping justin Field. Call up Chicago and call

346
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 9: up the Chargers who are drafting fifth and you know

347
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 9: they're not taking a quarterback, and say, hey, what would

348
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 9: it take for me to get your spots? I'll give

349
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 9: you Michael Parsons and whatever, and then you could go

350
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 9: get your number one quarterback. You let that play out

351
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 9: the rest of his contract, because there's no way you

352
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 9: could pay this guy fifty five plus million. There's only

353
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 9: one quarterback that's delivered making that kind of money, and

354
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 9: that's Patrick Mahomes. The rest have not. We'll see what

355
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 9: Lamar Jackson does, you know, but that's the only quarterback

356
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 9: that justifies his money. Everybody else just spitting their wheels

357
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 9: and getting eaten alive by the salary cap. And I

358
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 9: just think if you could make that happen, I think

359
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 9: that's the way that they could build a team. We

360
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 9: saw when you surround that just needs too much help.

361
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 9: I mean, leading rushes, leading wide receives just too much

362
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 9: and then it leaves too many other holes. So I mean,

363
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 9: look at Baker Mayfield. I don't know what Baker Mayfield

364
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 9: is going to demand in the off season, thirty maybe,

365
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 9: but heck, I would rather have a thirty million dollar

366
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 9: Baker Mayfield than a sixty million dollar with Dak Prescott.

367
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 9: So I just think that's a better model. It's a

368
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 9: more sustainable model than having a quarterback who golfer Biddy

369
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 9: gets hurt like Aaron Rodgers did, I mean, or what second.

370
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 10: Play season's over?

371
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 9: But if you had a really good team built around them,

372
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 9: maybe you could weather that more. But the Cowboys I

373
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 9: think need to think about that. I know they're probably

374
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 9: not going to because Jerry wants to be relevant for

375
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 9: seventeen weeks, and I think he fields. You know, if

376
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 9: I'm in the hunt for seventeen weeks, I get to

377
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 9: the playoffs, that's you know, I'm on TV a lot,

378
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 9: and I'm I'm in the conversation a lot longer than

379
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 9: three weeks in the playoffs.

380
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: You know, I think there's more to it than that, though, Honestly, Rob,

381
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not about being relevant. It's about giving

382
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: your It's about I don't think he sees it that way.

383
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: I think you're kind of saying the same thing. I

384
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: think he's trying. He wants to have a good, a

385
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: really good football team that gives himself a chance.

386
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 9: Uh the play Yeah, so you, but we don't have

387
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 9: a really good team.

388
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 7: We have really good players, but.

389
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 10: We don't have a good team.

390
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 9: We don't have any linebackers, we don't have a good

391
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 9: defensive line.

392
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 8: Uh.

393
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 9: Maybe on third and eight, we thought we did, but

394
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 9: we didn't. At the end, Micah Parsons needs to be

395
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 9: playing middle life. If you're keeping him, he needs to

396
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 9: go back to the middle linebacker.

397
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

398
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 9: He fixes your run game and he could still rush,

399
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 9: and he fixes your pay Because I'm just going to

400
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 9: say this to then to get thirty million dollars.

401
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm just going to say this. He doesn't want to

402
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: do that.

403
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 9: No, I know he doesn't. And that's why I say

404
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 9: get on.

405
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: That, and that's a problem. That's a problem.

406
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, get on the phone with Chicago and

407
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 9: see what see if they're keeping just the fields, get

408
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 9: on the phone with the Chargers and say, hey, would

409
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 9: you be interested in giving up your fifth pick for

410
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 9: Michael Parsons? And I don't know, maybe I'd chose something

411
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 9: else in because you're right, he's going to want to

412
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 9: be a defensive end at two hundred and forty five pounds,

413
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 9: which he cannot do for seventeen games. He could do

414
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 9: it for the first eight to nine, and then he

415
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 9: always tails off because he wants to get thirty million

416
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 9: dollars a year. And then if you say to Mike, okay,

417
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 9: you want to be defensive end, you got to gain

418
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 9: thirty pounds. Well, then he's not the same guy. So

419
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 9: for me, you have to put him at middle linebacker.

420
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 9: And now you're gonna have a disgruntled guy that we

421
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 9: already see. He's immature. So that's my thing.

422
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 8: Shop it.

423
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 10: See what happens.

424
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks for the call, Rob, And you're right.

425
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: I mean I saw a stat. Somebody showed me this

426
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: stat the other day that they found. I didn't find this,

427
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 2: but I'm sure you guys have seen some of it too.

428
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 2: Mike has got forty sacks in his career, and thirty

429
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: two of them have come in September, October and November.

430
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: In thirty three games that he's played in September, October

431
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: and November in the I think it's twenty something games.

432
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: Twenty four games he's played in December and January may

433
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: only be twenty. He only has eight sacks. His eight

434
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 2: sacks in December and January thirty two in the first

435
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: three months. So I don't know is he is he

436
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: wearing down? I mean that's that it shure does look

437
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: like it, you know when you think about that, in

438
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: his three seasons. But all right, let's go to Dylan

439

Speaker 11: Yeah, it'd be cool if we had like a I

459
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 11: don't know how you make this working up like a

460
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,040

461
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 11: off that that'd be kind of neat. I don't know

462
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 11: that would work, but it's kind of neat to talk

463
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 11: to everybody. But I even had to reschedule some meetings

464
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 11: today to jump on his call.

465
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 12: So appreciate.

466
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 11: I'm dedicated.

467
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Yeah, move move things around.

468
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course.

469
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 11: I want to talk about something that Joe Ann Rob said.

470
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 11: So first off, Joe, I think in order to sign

471
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 11: those players you talked about, you have to extend back

472
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 11: because if you cut back, well, now you got dead

473
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 11: money and that's not good. If you don't extend back,

474
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 11: you've got the sixty million dollars to deal with, and

475
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 11: maybe you can still get CD done, but now you're

476
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 11: gonna have problems down the trough and you're gonna lose

477
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 11: some really quality depth, which I think this team for

478
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 11: the most part, has done a good job. You look

479
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 11: at some of the injuries you had, especially in the secondary,

480
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 11: and they build good depth, so you don't want to

481
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 11: lose anything there. And then Rob actually had a point

482
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 11: there that I did a study a few years back,

483
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 11: and if you look at the quarterback deals over the

484
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 11: past like fifteen years, every quarterback that wasn't named Mahomes

485
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 11: or Brady, every single one of them. Their cat hit

486
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 11: was less than twenty millions for that season and somewhere

487
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 11: on rookie deals right somewhere veterans that signed elsewhere, but GMS.

488
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 11: I mean, that takes a lot of gonats to cut

489
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 11: a franchise quarterback if you have one, right, Like, it's

490
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 11: too dangerous to not have a franchise quarterback. So you

491
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 11: cut that guy and now you're in quarterback wasteland.

492
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 6: For three years.

493
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 11: Well you're gone or Jerry That's that's a different story here.

494
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 11: But that's tough to do across the league. It's it's

495
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 11: what you should do, probably is with the numbers indicate,

496
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 11: but it's too tough to do well.

497
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: The question is, Dylan, I'm an elephant in the room.

498
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: Is the question is do you have one? Like? Like,

499
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: is Dac is Dak a franchise quarterback? That's what I think.

500
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: That's where I think a lot of fans are wondering

501
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 2: and that they think he's not. Some think he is.

502
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: But I mean that's that's kind of the issue, is

503
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: that is he that guy? You know? Yeah?

504
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, let's uh, if you look at.

505
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 11: Some of the quarterbacks. As I was thinking about this

506
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 11: exact question, It's funny you mentioned that, look at some

507
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 11: of the all time greats that we just got passed

508
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 11: or you know, are just getting past now, like Aaron Rodgers,

509
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 11: Drew Brees, some of these guys that their names will

510
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 11: go down on history as some of the best have

511
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 11: one ring. They've only won the Big Game once. And

512
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 11: the key I think is to stay competitive and hope

513
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 11: that all comes together for one season, maybe two if

514
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 11: you're if you're super lucky, maybe you get to and

515
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 11: then obviously have the unicorns like Mahomes and Brady and

516
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 11: those guys. But I mean to find those guys that's

517
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 11: a lottery ticket, you know, And that's too tough. But

518
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 11: you have to just stay competitive. And if you get

519
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 11: rid of Dak, what's the plan you're gonna go with

520
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 11: Trey Lance? Okay, well he's already moved on from one

521
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 11: team and you have no idea what you have there.

522
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 11: You're going to draft a quarterback. You're gonna trade up

523
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 11: a bunch of capital. Now you're in rebuild note and

524
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 11: you're going to trade a bunch of draft capital for

525
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 11: a first round guy. And the high high, you know,

526
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 11: maybe top five, top ten, and who knows the he

527
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 11: pans out. So I think them extending deck is the

528
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 11: right call. Now, I hope they do it in a

529
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 11: way that's friendly, so we're not in the situation again

530
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 11: a couple of years down the road where we have

531
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 11: to do something with Dak. We don't really have a choice.

532
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 11: But I think extending deck is the right call because

533
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 11: you have to stay competitive and hope for one season

534
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 11: it all comes together like it did for some of

535
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 11: the other guys.

536
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: All right, all right, that's good, that's good thought there.

537
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: All right, Dylan, appreciate the call, you know, thanks for

538
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: moving meetings around and readjusting your schedule. Look little bit,

539
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. You know, the deck contract is just

540
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 2: it's got it. It's the first to me, Well, the

541
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: head coach is probably the first domino there, and they

542
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: figured that out. But then now it's it's it's on

543
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: too that what do they do there? You know, because

544
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: this this is not an easy situation because you know, yes,

545
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: football is about business and all that stuff, making business decisions.

546
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: But you know, by not doing any kind of extension,

547
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: by just playing it out, you know, then that sends

548
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: a message message as well to Dak. You know, hey,

549
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna just we're gonna do it this way, and

550
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: you know, if you have a great year, we'll talk after,

551
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: you know. And it's always I don't think. I don't

552
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: know if it's lame duck. I don't have I don't

553
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: like saying lame duck quarterback when you're making almost sixty million.

554
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: You know, oh, poor Dak. You know, like, I don't

555
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: think anyone's gonna be doing that. But still, you know,

556
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: it's and also even if you say, oh, well, let's

557
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 2: do an extension, he doesn't have to agree to that.

558
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's got the leverage here, and so

559
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: you know they're gonna have to handle it the right way.

560
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 2: So I go back and forth on this. Sometimes I

561
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: think they're not going to do anything, and then other

562
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 2: times I think they'll get closer to free agency and

563
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 2: they'll be like, we got to do something here, we

564
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: got to do something with Dax deal, Let's extend them,

565
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: Let's let's get this thing, you know, let's let's move

566
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: move on, you know, with a two or three more

567
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: years down the road. And then and then also we

568
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: can you know, function more this year and get some

569
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: you know, get some more depth and free agents in

570
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: here to be competitive. Of me. I wrote an article

571
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: the other day that this team has to make a splash.

572
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: They have to they have to do that this year.

573
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: Forget this whole you know, And I said it, I mean,

574
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: forget this my I mean, even though it's my favorite

575
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: song of all time, all time, this is how we

576
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: do it by Montel Jordan. You cannot have a this

577
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: is how we do it mentality when you when you

578
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: go into free agency this year, this is not like, well,

579
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: this is what we always do. This is what we

580
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: you know, this is our plan. We we we focused

581
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: on in the draft. We're gonna you're not you know,

582
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: gonna get value deals on freegency. No, no, not this year. Bs. No,

583
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: You've got to go make a move. There's someone out there.

584
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: Go do it. You did the Gilmour move, cooks great,

585
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: Do it again and do it better, you know, get

586
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: better players. Go get a Rokwan Smith type of move.

587
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: Go find who's out there and their last year of

588
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: their deal, somebody that's probably going to be hit free

589
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: agency next year, and go get go get those players.

590
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: You need players now. And I think I'm not saying

591
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: abandon the draft, but I'm saying, look at what happened

592
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: last year, and look look at look at what you got.

593
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you got more value off of the trades

594
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: than you did, you know, actually drafting players. And they're

595
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: not going to go away from that. But I do

596
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: think that in this win now mentality, they need to

597
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: think about, you know, getting some some players in free

598
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: agency more than they have in the past. I think

599
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: they have to be aggressive this year. And I'm sure

600
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: Mike would want to do that because you know, Mike

601
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 2: doesn't have a contract for next year, so why why

602
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: build for the future. I mean, so I think the

603
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: approach will be different. All right, let's go to Jeff

604
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: in North Carolina.

605
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 5: What's going on?

606
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: What's up? Man?

607
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 5: Not much, man, I I've been trying to process all

608
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 5: this for two weeks and I tried to call last Tuesday. Man,

609
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 5: it's just there's just no way I was getting in.

610
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 5: That was a I listened to it. I try. I

611
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 5: think I out one hundred and seventeen times, striving.

612
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 10: Man.

613
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 5: It was everybody was really upset, and I was to you, Yeah,

614
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 5: but you just touched on some things I've been thinking

615
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 5: about and as far as the roster and everything, and

616
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 5: I you cannot run this thing back the same way again.

617
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 5: It's something has to change. And uh and I wish

618
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm with you kind of a little bit on what

619
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: you was thinking too about Dak. I wish that we

620
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 5: could stomach that. You know, that that that cap hit

621
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 5: just because of what you're saying. You know, I've called

622
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 5: you all year. You know, I like that. I love that,

623
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 5: But it's just you know, but it's just the business

624
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 5: part of it. And maybe it's possible they could They

625
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 5: could do it, you know, you know the Rams. The

626
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 5: Rams went all in two years ago, won the Super Bowl.

627
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 5: Then they had to cut some guys, and it was

628
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 5: kind of down last year, but then there was right

629
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 5: back in the playoffs this year. And uh so I

630
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 5: think it can be done. It's you know, but but

631
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 5: you know it would you know, you just have to

632
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 5: make some tough decisions on some guys. But I do

633
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 5: want to touch on one thing Rob said. One thing

634
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 5: I do kind of agree is I think they do

635
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 5: get comfortable sometimes. And and I was fine with bringing

636
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: Mike back if because all you heard, if they let

637
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 5: him go, they was gonna get belichicked. Or Harball, and

638
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 5: I don't want I didn't want to know that again

639
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: to me. The Cowboys to get out of this rut,

640
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 5: they got together their comfort zone. Now, if you could

641
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 5: have told me they it's gonna bring one of these

642
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 5: young up and coming coordinators from some one of these

643
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 5: other teams, I would be fine with that. And but

644
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 5: I know Jerry a little bit out of Jerry's comfort zone.

645
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 5: And and you know, I just but I feel that's

646
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 5: what Scott Chain. I think I have to look at everything.

647
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 5: Maybe we don't need to go to California and train,

648
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 5: Maybe we need to train back.

649
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa.

650
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm just throwing stuff out and you know I'm

651
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 5: not you know, I'm like everybody. I'm searching for solutions.

652
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: One of them, ain't it? Yeah? That I don't know, man,

653
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: be Beam jumps in too, like like you know, it's

654
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: one of those things too, where like you know, your

Speaker 2: hundred and twenty degrees at home, you know, and you're like,

657
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You know, you have like a sweatshirt on

658
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: it's like sixty one degrees. You know, You're like, I'm

659
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: sorry about that. I don't know about that.

660
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't know either.

661
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 7: I'm just like you.

662
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 5: I'm just the one stuff out there.

663
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 8: Man.

664
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I just feel like something's got they got

665
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 5: changed so.

666
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: Much they want super rules in the seventies ever going

667
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: to California's.

668
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 5: Right, you know, No, I you know, and you know,

669
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 5: I'm sixty years old, and I'm I'm thankful that I've

670
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 5: got to see him win Super Bowls. I know there's

671
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 5: a lot of people who who are probably more frustrated

672
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 5: than me because they, you know, they they've never seen

673
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 5: them win it, and and uh uh so I am

674
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 5: thankful for that, and but but but yeah, I just

675
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 5: feel you know, I watched those two games last weekend.

676
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 5: I've watched the game between the Packers and the four.

677
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 5: The way that game started, the way both teams were hitting,

678
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 5: and then tensity, I thought, man, it was the President

679
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 5: than the Cowboy.

680
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: That was depressing because my initial thought was like, man,

681
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 2: you know, we should be in this game. And then

682
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: I thought, well, both these teams kicked the Cowboys ass,

683
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: I mean both of them, you know, like, and it's like, well,

684
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: maybe maybe you're not that close when you think about that.

685
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 5: Game, you know, that's exactly what I thought.

686
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 2: But you're right. I mean the Bucks, the Bucks, hey,

687
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: they they they beat the Eagles. I think the Eagles

688
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: had had The Eagles seemed like they quit a long

689
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 2: time ago, and you know, they won their bad division

690
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 2: and then they got in. It's good for them. I

691
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 2: don't put them in the same boat. But Detroit, Green Bay,

692
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: San Francisco, those teams. Those teams just you know, they

693
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 2: played football like in a fist fight, and uh and

694
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: that's what the Cowboys I think need to get back to,

695
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: you know. Just I mean, they did beat the Lions,

696
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 2: but it was a fight, of course, and you know

697
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: that that's just the way that they play. That's what

698
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: I think Dallas needs to get back to. But but

699
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: you think.

700
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 5: All you think about, all the teams that have been

701
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 5: knocking us out of the playoffs have been these young,

702
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 5: innovative coaches, and I just feel like, if if we

703
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 5: do something different, we don't need another retread, even if

704
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 5: it is Bill Belichick. I just think that, you know,

705
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 5: I know, I know Jerry, he may not be comfortable

706
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 5: with the first time coach, but I'm just seeing what's

707
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 5: happening around the rest of the league and yeah, and

708
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 5: a lot something that we need to think again, get

709
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 5: out of your comfort zone a little bit, you know.

710
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 5: That's that's that's kind of why I'm thinking about. Anyway,

711
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 5: I appreciate you taking my call, and uh and I'll

712
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 5: be talking to you some more and uh, really we

713
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 5: go ahead and stay out there in California.

714
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: All right? All right, Jeff, Hey have you been to Oxnard?

715
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 2: Have you been to training? I've never been out Clearly,

716
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: because you have, you would be like, oh, this is great.

717
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's funny. Yeah. McCarthy and Parcels

718
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: both had the same thing. They both were like, why

719
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 2: do we train out here? Why do we go? I

720
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: don't understand. They get off the plane and they're like,

721
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: oh this is why. Yeah, no, yeah no, And I

722
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: get it. I mean, And if you want to say

723
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 2: thanks for the call, Jeff, I appreciate it. If you

724
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: want to say, you know, well, but Jimmy Johnson back

725
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: in the day, you know, in the nineties they went

726
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: to Austin where his heat and all that stuff. The

727
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: NFLPA controls all of that kind of stuff, So you know,

728
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: I think they look at it now like if you're

729
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: going to have practice, you know you can only you

730
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: can only practice for so many hours now in a

731
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: day and so many days in a week that if

732
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: you're going to do it, get rid of all the distractions.

733
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: Make you go to a place where it's never hot,

734
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: like like really hot, and it's never cold and it

735
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: never rains. I mean, the weather's not going to really

736
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 2: affect your practice. You can sit for if I got

737
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 2: two hours, it's all I got, it's all you're giving me.

738
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have two hours of practice where there's really

739
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: no distractions here, and we're going to go out and

740
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: we can practice. Wasn't too windy, wasn't too hot, wasn't

741
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: this or that? And so I think that's kind of

742
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: the focus. Get away from family and stuff for a

743
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: little bit, focus here. And I don't think that's the problem.

744
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: I really don't think there's a little bit more to

745
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: it than that. But hey, but at least, like I

746
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: always say, throw out some solutions. I mean, if this

747
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: ain't working, let's figure it out. Let me get one

748
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: text message question here. This is from the six oh

749
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 2: two area code that's Phoenix, says linebackers, fix our issues.

750
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: Look at the teams remaining, especially the Niners and the Ravens. Boy,

751
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: they got they got two linebackers each on those teams.

752
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 2: Say Dak doesn't stop the run, trading him will make

753
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: the fans miss him more than they can imagine. If

754
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: Brad Johnson can win the Super Bowl and Dak cam,

755
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: all quarterbacks need help. There's only homes and one Brady

756
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: after that. Everyone needs help. I agree though with the linebackers.

757
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with that Dak definitely needs help.

758
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: They all need help. And you know, Lamar Jackson's gonna

759
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: win a VP. I mean, he's got some great players there,

760
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 2: you know, but he's a weapon. Though, he's an outstanding weapon,

761
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: and he should be MVP. But you know, it's just

762
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: I got some opinions about about this comfort zone that

763
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: you guys are talking about. I don't really think it's

764
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 2: that way. I think it's kind of a glass half full,

765
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: half empty type thing. And I think Jerry kind of

766
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: looks at it like I've got a good team. I've

767
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: got a team that's twelve and five, twelve and five,

768
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: twelve and five. I mean, that's never happened here. It

769
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: doesn't happen in the league that often. It's hard to

770
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: do that so I've got that. I'm up here. I

771
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: just got to fix a couple of things there, you know.

772
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: And I look at this team a lot like the Bills.

773
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: You know, Bill's firing their coach. I mean they've been good,

774
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: they mean they can't get over the hump. They've been good.

775
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: You know, they got good talent. They haven't gotten there.

776
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: That's the goal. That's kind of the way I look

777
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: at it, too. And I just say this, it's not

778
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: it's not an sorry, it's not McCarthy's fault. It's not

779
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 2: the team's fault that they haven't won in thirty years.

780
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: That's what the fans are. Their frustration is a twenty

781
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: nine year frustration. I get that this team doesn't have that.

782
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 2: This team hasn't won two to three two, you know,

783
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: three years in a row. Here in the playoffs, they

784
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 2: haven't won. It's a problem. It's a problem. It's got

785
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 2: to get fixed. But it's not a twenty nine year fix.

786
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: If you want to throw Jerry in there, that's fine,

787
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 2: But then don't sit there and say this team is talented.

788
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: Because the team is talented. We all know that. So

789
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: I think sometimes there's a moving target when it comes

790
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 2: to what people are arguing about and what they think

791
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: the issue is. But this is not a twenty nine

792
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: year problem for Mike McCarthy in this team right here.

793
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: It's a three year problem. It's a three year problem.

794
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: They've had really good regular seasons and they've been hit

795
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: in the face the playoffs, hit in the face, and

796
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: that's that's something that's absolutely got to be fixed. But

797
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: you're not talking about a coach that has never done it,

798
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: has never won it, has never won games in the

799
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 2: playoff either. I think that's what the comfort is that

800
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 2: Jerry's comfortable. He's comfortable knowing that he's got a football

801
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: team that can get there to the end. They've got

802
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: to figure out how to finish these finish these you know,

803
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: this race, this fight whatever. So that's that's what that's

804
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: what's got to happen. You got a baseball team that

805
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 2: can get him to the eighth and ninth inning. You

806
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: got to get a closer. You got to figure that out.

807
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 2: But you don't just throw everything away because you're struggling

808
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: there at the end. That's where I think Jerry's That's

809
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: where I think the glass half full, half empty part

810
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 2: is and getting a new head coach getting a new coach,

811
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: one of those one of these guys that are out

812
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: there that that changes a lot because they're gonna come

813
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 2: in and change everything. And maybe that's good, maybe it's not.

814
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: But I think Jerry looks at it like I got

815
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: to tweak a few things more than overhaul a lot.

816
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 2: All right, Anthony and Miami.

817
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 7: What's going on? Nick the quick? Hey, I'm doing pretty

818
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 7: good man. The good thing about listening, You have a

819
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 7: you have a thought, and then you listen to what

820
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 7: you're saying and what the previous call or something you

821
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 7: know it's saying, and you kind of change your mindset

822
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 7: on something. And that's when I want to talk about mindset.

823
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,479
Speaker 2: Oh anthey, are you changing your whole mindset now?

824
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 7: No? No, No, they need to. They need to. They

825
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 7: needed some tenacity and a tougher mindset. Like I said,

826
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 7: I hope that. I don't know if I have to

827
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 7: make a plaque or something to send it as presence

828
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 7: and put my dock on them with the c d

829
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 7: A C Disciplining, Accountability and consistency. Man, if I'm not,

830
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 7: you know, that's my word, that's my acronym. I made

831
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 7: it up. I put those three words together. And I

832
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 7: gave it to Hanging with the Boys last year, right.

833
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 7: Jesse loved it right away, said they're gonna use it.

834
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 6: Man, you gotta have that.

835
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 7: You like you say, twelve and five can't really finish.

836
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 7: You're getting punched in the mouth all the time. It's

837
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 7: your mindset. It's your tenacity, man, she.

838
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 6: Will it's it.

839
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 7: That's what you're lacking. You're not discipline, accountability, and consistency.

840
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 7: It's really nothing with the play. You can tweet things

841
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 7: and you can fix that stuff, man, you know. So

842
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 7: with that being said, as I've told you, I would

843
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 7: call in and say, fifty three years old, how long

844
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 7: I've did this with the cowboys? Been a cowboy since then?

845
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 7: Now fifty four as a December seventeenth. So let me

846
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 7: give you the perfect example of this. Two fifty fours. Now,

847
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 7: I can cover your player thing too. Two fifty fours Master,

848
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 7: and and and I'm gonna call him mess up, can't

849
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 7: get right Stam Williams. Right, Master, Okay, he's the first

850
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 7: round draft pick in all American Maryland. Okay, But but

851
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,479
Speaker 7: Sam was a second you know he's up there. One

852
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 7: has a mindset of tenacity. Man, Look I don't. He

853
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 7: came in at twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. He

854
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 7: could have been immature, but he became a dog and wasn't.

855
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 7: No nobody gonna punch him in the mouth. See, Sam

856
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 7: makes all these mistakes. You know what I'm saying. Bar

857
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 7: does this stuff, acts like he's tough, but then people

858
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 7: punch him in the mouth. I saw guards and I

859
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 7: saw people knocking him on the ground, and then he's

860
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 7: committing all these penalties and nobody's pulling him to the side.

861
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 7: Like I said, I would have grabbed the space mask.

862
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 8: That's me.

863
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 7: But somebody said, oh he's big. I don't know about that, man.

864
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 7: Look ain't nobody stared the same ways. But that's the

865
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 7: mindset of fifty four and a fifty four. Now you

866
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 7: see what I'm saying. You gotta have that. You're gonna

867
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 7: be tough and act tough, be tough when it's time

868
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 7: to be tough. That's all I'm saying. If they can

869
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 7: do that, man, if they can add that to what

870
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 7: they already have, I think they'll be all right.

871
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: All right, all right, appreciate it.

872
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 7: Next time, bro.

873
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: Thanks you well, you know, got me writing some stuff down,

874
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: you know, fifty four can go two different ways there,

875
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: you know. I mean back the old school, it was

876
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: Randy White, like he had it even before him, Chuck Holey,

877
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 2: you know, And there's not many numbers that have multiple

878
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: numbers already in the Ring of honor. Fifty four is

879
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: one of them. Eighty eight, of course, forty three, twenty two,

880
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: fifty four. You know, are you Randy White or Chuck

881
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 2: Calley or are you Bobby Carpenter, Darren Hambrick, Jalen Smith,

882
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 2: Sam Williams, you know, I mean, you know, they don't

883
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: just get I mean fifty four. If you get fifty four,

884
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: there's a reason for it. I mean they no, I

885
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: don't know about the Darren Hambrick one. That was probably

886
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: not but you know, they gave it to Jalen Smith,

887
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 2: they gave it to Sam, they gave it to Carpenter,

888
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 2: you know, first second round picks. I mean, they gave

889
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: it to to guys that were supposed to kind of

890
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 2: do this play at that level, you know, at this

891
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: standard at fifty four. They haven't necessarily haven't done that,

892
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 2: of course, but you know, Sam, that's gonna be interesting

893
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: because Gordon Armstrong's a free agent and Dante Fowlers a

894
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: free agent, and you don't have a lot of money

895
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: to be signing these guys. Even those guys, I mean,

896
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 2: you could probably get them resigned if you wanted to.

897
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 2: But they got a lot of decisions to make. Do

898
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 2: They look at Dorn's Armstrong and they say, listen, let's

899
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: just play with Sam Williams at defensive end. That's scary

900
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 2: considering how many penalties he has in a limited role.

901
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: And I think you can make the case this year,

902
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 2: I think his penalties have been worse than the plays

903
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: that he's made. He's had a couple he's blocked a

904
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 2: punt and you know, but he blocked u punt and

905
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: then he also had a penalty trying to block a

906
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 2: punt too. So he's had some sacks, but he's had

907
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: some he has some penalties as well. So you know,

908
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: that's that that's gonna be. That's gonna be a decision

909
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: that they have to make for sure. There All right,

910
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: let's go to Tony. He's in Alexandria, Virginia. You are

911
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: on what's up?

912
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 13: I mean, I'm still trying to digest yet another season

913
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 13: ending early. It's probably like you know, the rest of

914
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 13: the cowboyation. As far as McCarthy coming back, you know,

915
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 13: I'm okay with that, And reason being is because you know,

916
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 13: I hear some others talk about, yeah, we should have

917
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 13: brought in this guy or that guy, but there's no

918
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 13: you know, Nick, there's no guarantee that those guys are

919
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 13: going to come in here and have another twelve and

920
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 13: five season. I mean, it's not guaranteed that McCarthy's gonna

921
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 13: have another twelve and five season next year, which I

922
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 13: don't looking at, you know, and I know we do

923
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 13: that this is a win, that's a loss, but just

924
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 13: looking at the people we play next year, I I

925
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 13: would be hard pressed to get back to another twelve

926
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 13: and five record. I mean they may, but it's it's

927
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 13: going to be difficult. I mean, we played Baltimore, we play,

928
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 13: we played, We've got a first play schedule now, whereas

929
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 13: you know, last year we did and you know, you know,

930
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 13: we weren't picked to win the division. It was still

931
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 13: everyone was picking Philly to win the division. And you know,

932
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 13: we want it based on their you know, I call

933
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 13: it there epic collapse that they have. But but yeah,

934
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 13: so I'm okay with bringing him back. And you know

935
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 13: there's then there's the age ol question as well. Is

936
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 13: it the players or is it the coaches? You know,

937
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 13: the coaches coach, but the players have to execute. And

938
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 13: I don't know, I'm leaning more towards the players. You know,

939
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 13: they gotta they just gotta, you know, go out there

940
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 13: and execute, not make dumb penalties and and you know,

941
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 13: stuff of that nature. And uh, you know you and

942
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 13: I always always one thing that really hurts me is is,

943
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 13: you know, is the waste now that the season's over.

944
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 13: We got to wait all the way through this spring

945
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 13: and the summer and training camp and the draft and

946
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 13: all that stuff. And using our favorite you know, roller

947
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 13: coaster analogy, you know, we've gone to come off the

948
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 13: ride now basically you know we're at now, Nick, we're

949
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 13: at the back of a four hour wait just to

950
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 13: get on the roller coaster because that basically wait is

951
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 13: considered you know, the off season. So before we get

952
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 13: back on and strap in our belt and start to

953
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 13: tick back up the you know, the incline of the

954
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 13: roller coaster. So to me, that's the longest that's the

955
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 13: biggest thing that irks me to.

956
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: Say that snake, you know, where you're going back and forth,

957
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 2: back and forth, staring at the same people. Yeah, it's

958
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: probably hot, you know, Yeah, that seem fun. You're like,

959
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 2: You're like, how do we get this fast pass? Everyone

960
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 2: keeps jumping right, Yeah, yeah there is.

961
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 13: When I was calling you, I was like, if we

962
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 13: could get the fast pass and get get at the

963
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 13: front of the line and get back on. But but yeah,

964
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 13: I'll always support a Cowboy nation. Just like one caller said,

965
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 13: you know, maybe I'm not as because I've seen you know,

966
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 13: them win super Bowls before. But again, like one of

967
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 13: my earlier calls, I said, I'm more so wanting the

968
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 13: Super Bowl, not for me now, but for the younger

969
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 13: generations that have never seen it. I've got a son now,

970
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 13: I would like to celebrate it with him. That's why

971
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 13: I want it, because, like I said, I've seen it,

972
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 13: but the ones that haven't seen it, that's who I

973
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 13: want it for. That's exactly who I wanted it for.

974
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 13: So anyways, with down, I'll get off the phone and

975
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 13: I'll try and call in another time and Cowboys.

976
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that, good call, Tony, And you know

977
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: I can relate to that, you know, because I I

978
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,479
Speaker 2: want to see it, you know, for for others as well.

979
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 2: But and I'm selfishly too, like I want to see

980
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: it for my own like my own position, my job.

981
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been here, this is, this is I've

982
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 2: been here almost like twenty five full calendar years, and uh,

983
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 2: people try to ask questions all the time about what

984
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: how do you do this? Or what happens here and there?

985
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 2: And anyone that was asking questions about what happens at

986
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: you know, at the super Bowl, I don't know, Like

987
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've never seen it, never seen the

988
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: championship game. So selfishly, i'd like to see it for that,

989
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: I'd like to see this website like Dallas Cowboys dot com.

990
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: We've done a really good job over the years. I'll

991
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 2: say that I can pat myself on the back Derek Eagleton,

992
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: all of the writers we've had, we've done a pretty

993
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 2: good job, really good job actually of establishing a lot

994
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 2: of a lot of viewers and readership on teams with

995
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: teams that really weren't that good, especially like back in

996
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 2: the I mean, this thing was really getting off the

997
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: ground in two thousand, when we're five and eleven, three

998
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: years in a row. So I think we've done a

999
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 2: pretty good job over twenty five years for a team

1000
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 2: that hasn't gotten to that level yet. I can't imagine

1001
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 2: what it would be like if we do. I want

1002
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: to see that. But you're right for the young generation,

1003
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, my kids have never seen it.

1004
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 2: They don't they don't know, so yeah, it would be

1005
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: It would be awesome for everyone, not just for you know,

1006
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 2: it's okay to be selfish too, It's okay, but it's

1007
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 2: you know, you guys, like I said last last week,

1008
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 2: you guys deserve it, especially the ones listening to this show.

1009
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 2: Listen to any of these shows are on our website.

1010
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 2: Guys are dedicated fans just want this team to to win,

1011
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 2: and they all everyone's got their own ideas on how

1012
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 2: to get it done. Doesn't always agree with Jerry, I

1013
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 2: get it. You know, I don't either. You know, I

1014
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 2: don't always agree with some of the things that they do.

1015
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 2: But it's it's it's just frustrating. It's frustrating when you

1016
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 2: when you're watching these games, and you know, I just

1017
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: when you think of all year long, all season, I

1018
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 2: just thought it was going to be a better a

1019
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: better ending, or definitely a different ending than this. All right,

1020
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: let's go to Alan Merkle, Texas.

1021
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, what's going on?

1022
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 7: Hey?

1023
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, how are you?

1024
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 7: Oh?

1025
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 10: Not good? It's like every time I hear some of

1026
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 10: the opinion to just like Rubs salt in the wombs.

1027
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 10: It's just like any time you lose, everybody's going to

1028
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 10: come out of the woodwork to say we need to

1029
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 10: do this, we need to do that, and it's like, yeah,

1030
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 10: that works in uh fantasy football, but not in reality.

1031
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 10: The one thing, one question. I have two questions, and

1032
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,479
Speaker 10: I don't know if it's been addressed on any show.

1033
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 10: I heard Everson Walls talk about it yesterday on Mixed Shots,

1034
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 10: But it's like, what would to deal with at the

1035
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 10: very beginning with Dak and uh McCarthy and uh C Lamb. Well,

1036
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't know. It was like the very first,

1037
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 10: uh very first series, and you know Dak and him,

1038
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 10: we're talking to all of a sudden, McCarthy's.

1039
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 13: Over there talking to him.

1040
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 10: It's like, what is going on?

1041
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 2: And well, hold on, let me say this because because

1042
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,959
Speaker 2: McCarthy did address this, this wasn't like two This wasn't

1043
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 2: like two brothers that were fighting and dad jumped in.

1044
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it was that. It was it was

1045
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 2: maybe just okay, we know the defense that the Green

1046
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 2: Bay plays, and it's when when you play a big

1047
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 2: zone defense like that, guys have to make decisions. You

1048
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 2: guys have to figure out where to sit where you

1049
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 2: know where, how to just work that that zone. And

1050
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: that's what he was talking. McCarthy was talking to CD

1051
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 2: about a particular route, about what with this kind of coverage? This,

1052
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 2: look what we're doing here. And remember he is the

1053
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,479
Speaker 2: play caller. This isn't just this isn't the head coach

1054
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: jumping in. This isn't Dad on a long road trip

1055
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 2: saying hey you look out this window, you look at that. No, no, no,

1056
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 2: this is like, hey, I'm the play caller. This is

1057
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 2: the way I see it. This is how this play

1058
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: is supposed to go. So we might be reading a

1059
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,919
Speaker 2: little bit into that, but not reading too much into

1060
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 2: the fact that CD was not himself in that in

1061
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: that game the way you play nobody You're right, nobody

1062
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: was Trince c. Trince seg was himself. He snapped the

1063
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 2: ball when it was time to snap, he snapped it.

1064
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 2: Well that's it, maybe Ferguson and.

1065
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, Ferguson And also what's the name of the receiver.

1066
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: Gallup Gallop? But was it was that himself? I mean

1067
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,720
Speaker 2: that that that was why it was so weird. Everything

1068
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,479
Speaker 2: was upside down, you know, everything was upside CD didn't

1069
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 2: play well.

1070
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, but the Superman or whatever. But the other question

1071
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 10: I have for you, and hopefully you can uh correct

1072
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 10: me if I'm wrong, But this year, why were we

1073
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 10: supposed to be running and playing better? Do you say,

1074
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 10: I mean a better off so our defense could take

1075
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 10: over and keep us in games. And it seems like

1076
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 10: maybe after I can't remember exactly what game it was,

1077
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 10: but it seems like the script was slipped and all

1078
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 10: of a sudden, here we go again, pass against going

1079
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 10: forty points, which that's fine, you know, but our defense,

1080
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 10: they I feel like they let us down. Everybody on

1081
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 10: the Dallas covers our conference basically agreed that at Miami

1082
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 10: was the offense that let us down. I don't think so.

1083
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 10: Because Miami had the ball a very in and we

1084
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 10: had our defense on there. I don't care how well

1085
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 10: you played. The game was not over. It's like, I

1086
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 10: don't care if you have allowed seven points or ten points.

1087
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 10: You're on the field. You need to stop them and

1088
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 10: we didn't stop them, so I don't know what is

1089
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 10: up with our defense, but I do believe, you know,

1090
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 10: I have an opinion like everybody else is there, like

1091
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 10: you know what they all seen. But my opinion is,

1092
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 10: you know, the offense, would you know, get some linemen

1093
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 10: and running back. We should be fine there, We should be.

1094
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 10: I think McCarthy can figure it out. But I think

1095
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 10: with the defense, we need to figure out how to

1096
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 10: stop the run because I think that's what has gashed

1097
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 10: us for ever since they've exposed coordinator. But anyway, I

1098
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 10: love the show man. I enjoyed this so much this year.

1099
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 10: I just hate the way it ended. It so bad,

1100
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 10: And I'm going to try to call in every now

1101
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 10: and then, but for the most part, I'm done with

1102
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,439
Speaker 10: football season. It's time to work on golf and other

1103
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 10: stuff until training can't come around. But like I said,

1104
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 10: thank you so much for taking my calls. You and

1105
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 10: Chris have been awesome. This show is awesome. Like I said,

1106
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 10: I'll keep on listening, probably on YouTube after the fact.

1107
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 10: But like I said, thanks for everything you've done. You're

1108
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 10: gonna have done it differently. But you know there's always

1109
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 10: next year.

1110
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 2: Right yep, always, always next time.

1111
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 10: Oh and one more thing, Yeah, more thing. You know,

1112
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 10: everybody's saying, well, Jerry should do it this, Jerry should

1113
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 10: do it this way.

1114
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 4: You know what.

1115
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 10: I used to think Jerry should do it this way.

1116
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 10: But you know what, I'll figured out Jerry doesn't have

1117
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 10: my number of tweed though he doesn't, no, so I'm

1118
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 10: not getting through them. So I can have all the

1119
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 10: opinions I want about it, Garry, but he ain't gonna listen.

1120
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate that thing, all right, now, good stuff there, Merkele,

1121
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 2: Texas got a good outlook on thanks. Uh, let's go

1122
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 2: to Reggie in Germany. He's probably been holding a while. Reggie, Hey, Hey,

1123
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 2: what's up, Nick?

1124
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 6: How you doing that?

1125
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 10: You?

1126
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 6: Like everybody else? Man, trying to trying to lick my wounds,

1127
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 6: trying to get over this this field. But happy New Year.

1128
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 6: And listen, here's something I got free.

1129
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 5: You know.

1130
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 6: Back in the day, a couple of them quarterbacks decided,

1131
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 6: you know, look, I'm I'm going to take a cut

1132
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 6: and pay, maybe offer at least to take a cut

1133
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 6: and pay to benefit the team and try and give

1134
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 6: back some room to to during the day's the room

1135
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 6: to get some good players in there. Maybe I'd like

1136
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 6: to hear your opinion on that. The other thing is

1137
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 6: this that you know, our team, as I said before,

1138
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 6: they're just not playing with the intention I called it,

1139
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 6: I called the game phase. What I mean is playing

1140
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 6: with a certain tenacity, a certain a certain amount of

1141
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 6: you know, desire and showing the teams right away, you know,

1142
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 6: when even if it's the offense the up and starting

1143
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 6: the game, you know he had the oppensive mind blowing

1144
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 6: off the ball, you haven't blown up, you know of

1145
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 6: holes for the back to run through, and you let

1146
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 6: let the other team know, you know, you don't have

1147
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 6: to wait to get to you get punched the mouth

1148
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 6: to punch the other team in his mouth, you know,

1149
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 6: and you let them know. All we got for you

1150
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 6: today is that intentions and fresh and bubble gum. And

1151
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 6: we fresh out of bubble gum, you know. And this

1152
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 6: is how it's gonna be all day long. And that's

1153
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 6: what I'm talking about, that that that they have. This

1154
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 6: team never showed us that and and they need to

1155
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:04,959
Speaker 6: show it that the ne show to set on both

1156
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 6: sides of the ball.

1157
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 2: Yep, that's my point, man. Yeah, well, I mean I

1158
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 2: definitely think it's when you think of the two things

1159
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 2: that need to be fixed, I mean running the ball

1160
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 2: and stopping the run. I mean that that goes with

1161
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 2: the offensive line, defensive line. It goes with the big boys,

1162
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 2: you know, the big tough guys. And I think the toughness,

1163
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: uh you know the games they've lost this year or

1164
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 2: the teams that feel like that they've been tougher than them,

1165
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 2: you know, ye.

1166
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 6: As an example, Yeah, those two two expressions. You know,

1167
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 6: the defensive backs are going to have to you know,

1168
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 6: also tell the tell the receivers on the other side,

1169
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 6: you know, I'm not giving up anything. I'm gonna be

1170
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 6: riding your hip pocket, you know, and and play that way,

1171
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 6: play that way, you know, the way the way Whitson played.

1172
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 6: You know. He let him know I'm not giving us.

1173
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: Up tonight, right, all right, Well I appreciate the call, Reggie.

1174
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 6: Hopefully I'll just watching TV on the way over here.

1175
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 2: Man, I got you, all right, all right, Well, have

1176
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 2: a good one, all right. Maybe we'll get to go

1177
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 2: see Reggie this year. Who knows. Cowboys they announced some

1178
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 2: international games. Cowboys are playing at Carolina this year. Carolina

1179
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 2: is one of the teams going to Germany after what

1180
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 2: happened last year Cowboys in Carolina. They may not want

1181
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 2: to see the Cowboys there again. I don't know. Kind

1182
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 2: of took over and announced that Jimmy Johnson move and

1183
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 2: some other things happened that day. It was pretty interesting,

1184
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: to say the least. I know. I know, if I

1185
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 2: had to pick between going back to Carolina or Germany,

1186
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 2: I would pick Germany. That would be pretty awesome if

1187
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 2: that happened. So we'll see that. That'll get announced at

1188
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 2: some point here this offseason. All right, let's go to

1189
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 2: We got a text question here, Kevin from Virginia. Do

1190
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 2: you foresee any of our free agents getting the franchise tag?

1191
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think so. I don't. I don't

1192
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 2: not this year. I mean, they gave it to Pollard

1193
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: last year. They could tag Pollard again, but that would

1194
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: cost even more. I mean, because it's the second time

1195
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 2: you do it. I don't have the numbers on the

1196
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 2: second running back tag, but I'm guessing it'd be around

1197
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 2: the twelve million mark. I don't think you're going to

1198
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 2: do that for Pollard. I don't see any other position

1199
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: any other free agent, you know, I mean, you they

1200
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 2: could if they really wanted to to do that with

1201
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 2: be Oddish. You know, that would be one that but

1202
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 2: I just don't see that happening. I don't think they're

1203
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 2: going to bring him back. I think he's gonna I

1204
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 2: think he's gonna test the market. I think he's gonna

1205
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 2: get paid pretty well. And I think the Cowboys are

1206
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 2: okay with that. So looking at just thinking of some

1207
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 2: of the other guys, I just I don't. I don't

1208
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 2: think so. When you look at the free agents, you know,

1209
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 2: franch tag is a huge number. Uh, it's you know,

1210
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 2: top it's I think an average of the top five

1211
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: at that position. So when you think of the Norn's

1212
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 2: Armstrongs and you know Stefan Gilmore, you know, players like that,

1213
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 2: and you think about what the franchise number would be, No,

1214
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think so. I don't really see

1215
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 2: the Cowboys having it because they really don't have other

1216
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 2: than Pollard and be Hotish. I'm not seeing whole a

1217
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: lot of your number one guys tiring. You know that

1218
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 2: that that's a that'll have to be a tricky situation

1219
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 2: if they want to bring it back. It'll have to

1220
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 2: be something that they figure out, uh, you know, and

1221
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 2: how it works kind of like they did before. All Right,

1222
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 2: real quick, here, let's go Matt in Los Angeles.

1223
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 14: Hey, what's up man?

1224
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 2: What's up? Matt? How you doing?

1225
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:53,439
Speaker 14: First time calling, first time caller, first time catching it live.

1226
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 14: I'm on the road, so I'm usually catching recordings. But

1227
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 14: I got to say team. So I'm a long time

1228
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 14: that our touts fan. All right, but I got two questions.

1229
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 14: One of them the first one's really quick. Do you

1230
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 14: know if Dak has a sports therapist? Because he clearly

1231
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 14: is body language and spatial expressions. He clearly tenses up

1232
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,959
Speaker 14: and doesn't play himself in these big mainly the playoff games.

1233
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 14: He's played very well in big games in the regular season.

1234
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 14: But a lot of top athletes, top performers in life,

1235
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 14: have you know, like Smisland coaches, Do you know if

1236
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 14: he has one?

1237
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 2: I think he does. I think he does, but I

1238
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 2: don't think it's something that it's I don't know how

1239
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 2: public he is, and I don't know if he would

1240
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 2: necessarily don't know if he calls it that. Honestly, I

1241
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 2: don't know. He's got a team that of people that

1242
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 2: that he works with, but I don't know if it's

1243
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 2: calls it a sports.

1244
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 14: You know, because Russell Russell Wilson's sports therapist, Yeah, came

1245
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 14: into his pocket our coming uh had a company meeting,

1246
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 14: and it was just fantastic.

1247
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 2: And I just, so, how's that working for? I mean,

1248
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I'm not trying to be funny.

1249
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 14: But I mean that that that that therapist passed away

1250
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 14: a couple of years ago.

1251
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 2: But I didn't know that I'm saying.

1252
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 14: I told, I get it. He was a therapist through

1253
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 14: the thro the Super Bowl run. Okay, Okay, I feel

1254
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 14: I feel like everybody, whatever this is, I love that

1255
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 14: on him. But he would have to blind to not

1256
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 14: realize that against the Niners, they against the Packers in

1257
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 14: these big time playoff games. This body language is facial expressions.

1258
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you this, though, Matt, let

1259
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 2: me ask you this. Yeah, because was the Packer game

1260
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 2: a big game? I mean, was that a big game

1261
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 2: to you? I mean, that was just just a wild

1262
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: It was a big game.

1263
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 14: Okay, So so I mean it's a it's a playoff

1264
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 14: game exactly.

1265
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 6: Like.

1266
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 2: But my point, my point is that like this happens

1267
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 2: a lot with Cowboy fans. They do it a lot

1268
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 2: during the regular season. The Cowboy fans only call it

1269
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 2: a big game if that Cowboys didn't win it, Like

1270
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 2: like you conveniently skipped the Buccaneers game when he played

1271
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 2: his best football game of his life. But that I

1272
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 2: guess wasn't a big game because it was just the

1273
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 2: Bucks against Tom Brady. You know what I mean?

1274
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 14: So you're right, No, you're right, So nothing's you're right.

1275
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 14: Any statement I stand, I stand corrected, And I said

1276
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 14: he played well in big games with the regular season.

1277
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 14: I said, at the start off my call, I said,

1278
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 14: you played against Miami, he played great. I was at

1279
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 14: the Chargers game. He he's the when who carried him

1280
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 14: to that win. Buffalo wasn't even really on him. That

1281
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 14: goes to my next question about dan Quinn. But I mean,

1282
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 14: what do you disagree with me that you can tell

1283
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 14: by his body language and facial expressions that he was

1284
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 14: just a different human in that Backers game and the

1285
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 14: Niners last year.

1286
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 2: This year, I mean, I don't know, going like, yeah,

1287
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 2: they they they played like crap.

1288
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 14: Acknowledge that he was that he was going through his

1289
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 14: spreeze too bad? Ye calm down, you know what I mean?

1290
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 14: Like it's easy for me to stand with dummies driving

1291
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 14: a car for a living. I get all of that, right, No,

1292
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 14: But I don't know. I know it's I feel like

1293
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 14: any top performer his life has one regardless of what

1294
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 14: you do.

1295
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 2: I honestly don't. I don't know to what extent that

1296
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 2: he you know, of of the teams that he has

1297
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 2: uh surrounding him. I know there's there's a lot of people,

1298
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 2: but I don't necessarily know all of that. And you know,

1299
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 2: clearly things things are haven't been the same. You know

1300
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 2: what he hasn't played like like we've seen. It's not

1301
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 2: it's not like he was throwing for three one hundred

1302
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 2: and fifty yards and you know, like the Josh Allen

1303
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 2: lost what three years ago against you know, the Chiefs,

1304
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 2: was like last last guy to get the ball. I mean,

1305
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 2: they've lost these playoff games because he didn't play well

1306
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 2: in those games.

1307
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 14: He stole the words out of my mouth with Josh Allen,

1308
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 14: No one's gonna like he he's it's they're not losing

1309
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 14: because of him, and he'd ever loses because of one player.

1310
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 14: But Josh Allen is playing the spot off in all

1311
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 14: those games that he loses, right, So my next question,

1312
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 14: I didn't expect that to be able to Oka.

1313
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 5: But August.

1314
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 14: But my next question was on dan Quinn. Right, Like again,

1315
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 14: I'm a dummy, out of shape suburban dad, and I

1316
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,479
Speaker 14: could watch these football games and like against Buffalo comes

1317
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 14: to mind. The Niners didn't run all over I don't

1318
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 14: know why people say that, but uh. And then like

1319
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 14: this Packers game where they're getting the ball run down

1320
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 14: their throat and they're sticking with lighter personnel. What am

1321
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 14: I missing something? And then also the night the Packers

1322
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 14: or Jordan Love is really good against man coverage, not

1323
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 14: good against zone. So we tried to go zone that

1324
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 14: clearly wasn't working. And man is our strength and zone

1325
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 14: is not our strength. So when you try to when

1326
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 14: you try to scheme against them, it's not working. Why

1327
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 14: not just go back to our strength?

1328
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 10: Like?

1329
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 14: What am I missing there?

1330
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1331
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 14: If I'm a dummy that couldn't recognize that, how is

1332
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 14: someone like dan Quinn not recognizing that? And do you

1333
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 14: think this is our our our what he needs to

1334
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 14: see to go against a two hundred and five pounds

1335
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 14: Marquis Bell linebacker.

1336
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. The The word on the

1337
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 2: street is that Gilmore's injury was a lot worse than

1338
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 2: than than it seems, and that that they felt like

1339
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 2: that's the best way that they had They could have

1340
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 2: played it with him. But but the Marquis Bell, like

1341
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 2: the linebacker spot, I'm not I'm not with you. I'm

1342
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: not I'm with you on that. Like, I just don't

1343
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 2: understand it, and it hurt them all year in games

1344
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 2: where teams jumped up on them and said, hey, we're

1345
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 2: gonna attack this, we're gonna score, we're gonna get a lead,

1346
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna keep doing it. And the I mean, they

1347
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 2: just don't they. I don't think they value the linebacker

1348
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 2: position like I think they should. And I think they

1349
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 2: they value it like every down is going to be

1350
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 2: third and seven, And what do our linebackers do against

1351
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 2: their tight end when you know what, if you're gonna

1352
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 2: gett run over, it's never third and seven, it's third

1353
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 2: and one or if that you.

1354
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 14: Know, well, the argument is, uh, you know, if played

1355
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 14: better than it wouldn't matter as much. Okay, sure that's great,

1356
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 14: but one when what happens if yours aren't playing to

1357
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 14: their league level?

1358
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 2: You get this, you know, yeah, I mean I so

1359
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: they gotta they gotta fix the run. They've got to

1360
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 2: fix the run because not only does it help you

1361
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: win games, but it's also a mentality like getting run

1362
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 2: on is is demoralizing. And so you know, I think

1363
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 2: I think good tough football teams don't get run on.

1364
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,680
Speaker 2: So I think I think that that would that will

1365
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:14,599
Speaker 2: kind of start from there.

1366
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 14: So all right, I mean I just say, O, line, linebacker,

1367
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 14: and corner have gotta be three big positions going to

1368
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 14: the draft and free agency.

1369
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I agree, and you got it, and you

1370
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 2: need a running back at some point. I mean, I

1371
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 2: gotta get it back. So I'd have to throw that

1372
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 2: part in there too, just because your top two running

1373
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 2: backs are free agents and and they they needed to

1374
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 2: be better than what they were.

1375
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 14: So yeah, you got to throw that intricted or No.

1376
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm not sure his his contract, Honestly, I don't really,

1377
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 2: I really don't know, And if I did, we wouldn't

1378
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 2: we wouldn't talk specifically about it. But uh, you know,

1379
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 2: if he would be if he's an unrestricted free agent,

1380
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know. Hey, I mean they I don't.

1381
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to figure they have to run the

1382
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 2: ball better. I still think it's an offensive line thing.

1383
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 2: A center guards. They they gotta they gotta figure out

1384
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 2: what they're doing there up front, right there in the middle.

1385
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the call, man, Let's go to

1386
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 2: Mike and Bowling Green. Mike, Ei there, I am. What's

1387
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 2: up man?

1388
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 15: Yeah, man, I worked great, k and I just got

1389
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 15: done with an install.

1390
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 5: Called out for lunch.

1391
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 3: And then I saw a report saying Quinn was coming back,

1392
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 3: and uh so that's Steve, You're still own. Yeah, I'm

1393
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 3: not crazy about if that's true. I was happy that

1394
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 3: they brought Mike McCarthy back.

1395
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 15: I was doing that. But with Quinn's record against uh

1396
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 15: the the coaching tree, that Shanahan coaching tree, I think

1397
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 15: I wanted to see somebody different.

1398
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you got me on that. I've been. I've been.

1399
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm on there. I don't know if if that's an

1400
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 2: official The last thought that i'd heard he was doing interviews,

1401
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 2: you know, and interviewing with three or four teams, So

1402
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 2: if if that happened, But I can speak to the

1403
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 2: fact that, you know, I think that there's there's some

1404
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 2: there's some things that need to need to change with

1405
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 2: the defense. Whoever the coordinator is this team this team

1406
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 2: needs to have. I think I have a different philosophy

1407
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,879
Speaker 2: when it comes like I just said about the linebacker position,

1408
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 2: about what what they do and you know there, and

1409
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 2: and how they handle stopping the run and what kind

1410
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 2: of body types are they looking for there. I think

1411
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 2: I think a lot of these guys are undersized. So

1412
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest thing that has to change

1413
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 2: on defense.

1414
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, the report game from ed Warder, he said, uh

1415
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 12: Alx Cowboy and Dan Quinn to return as Mike McCarthy's

1416
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 12: defensive coordinator. Okay, well, I'm kind of I'm kind of

1417
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 12: I was looking I'm kind of looking forward to new you.

1418
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,759
Speaker 12: But yeah, I was thinking by the time he'd find something,

1419
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,719
Speaker 12: I mean, there's not going to be much left out there,

1420
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 12: so I kids, yeah, is the best bed?

1421
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, you're trying to You're trying to

1422
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 2: figure out how to run it back, you know, and

1423
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 2: and and if if you want to like if they

1424
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: if they want to do that, I I agree with you.

1425
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 2: You know, at at some point there needs to be there.

1426
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 2: There has to be some kind of change here. You

1427
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 2: can't just keep doing the same thing. So it sounds

1428
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 2: like the head coach I mean head coach is coming back.

1429
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 2: It looks like the quarterbacks coming back, and if the

1430
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator is coming back. If that, if that happens,

1431
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 2: then they they have to figure out what what is

1432
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 2: going to change? I mean, what how are you going

1433
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 2: to be better? Look at that schedule, those guys, those

1434
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 2: teams aren't going anywhere. I mean, those teams are gonna

1435
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 2: be good. Ravens will be good next year. I could

1436
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 2: promise you Mingles, the Browns, the Steelers, they're gonna be

1437
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 2: tough games, you know. So you've got to be better

1438
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 2: than what you were to even be twelve and five?

1439
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 2: So how are you gonna get better? Like? That's that's

1440
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 2: where I think the question. That's what the Cowboys have

1441
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 2: to figure.

1442
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 15: Out to do it differently.

1443
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:28,480
Speaker 12: All right, payoffs?

1444
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, Well we'll see, we'll see what happens.

1445
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 2: We'll see what's going on. I still think dan Quinn

1446
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 2: is interviewing for other positions, so it looks like there's

1447
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 2: gonna be some you know that there could be some

1448
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 2: changes there. I'm not sure exactly what you read and

1449
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 2: if that's new or not could be, but if even so,

1450
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 2: cowboys got to figure out how to make some changes here.

1451
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 2: All right, it's been a good show. We went our

1452
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, got our eleven calls in great stuff. Great

1453
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:58,439
