Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 3: This These Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: What's up everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline Thursday, January The

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: twenty fifth off season is definitely here. Got here before

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: we knew it and we're expected, but now we're living

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: in it. Having to watch other football. If you're even

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: doing that, I know there's some people that are like

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: now not doing that, but you know, it hurts for

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: a little bit. But then he ended up watching it

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: and just trying to see where you where this team

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: kind of stacks up with the rest. And the thing

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: is is we've seen the Cowboys play most of these teams,

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: especially in the NFC, So you know, the Detroit game

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: was as close as it could get. San Francisco was

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: not close as it could get. But it'll be an

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: interesting game, probably a tough football game. And I think

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: that's going to be the theme that comes out of

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: this when you for it is for me of what

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: this team needs to do. You know, last year, I

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: remember thinking they didn't have enough weapons on offense. They

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: needed more weapons, and I think for the most part

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: they they they fixed that that they did get more weapons.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: I think this year's theme is they got to be tougher, bigger, stronger.

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: They they have to be ready for a fistfight, because

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: everybody brings it to the Cowboys every single game, and

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: I think that they've got to They've got to be

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more like that. I think you need

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: to see it in your in your linebackers, and you

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: to see it in your offensive line, defensive line, running back,

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: the way you run the ball. I think bigger, tougher, stronger.

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: I think that, to me would be the theme if

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this team going going in all right,

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: eight eight eight, eight, five, five two two nine seven

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: is the number to call. There's been a few things

37
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: happening today we can talk about. I know they they

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: listed the NFL Honors the finalists for that. Cowboys very

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: well represented in that. I don't know if that means

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: they're gonna get any of the winners. DAK is one

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: of the finals for m v P DAK and CD

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: finals for Offensive Player of the Year. Micah and Deron

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Bland finalists for Defensive Player of the Year. That'll be

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: that one will be interesting. But I think for the

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: most part, it looks like the Cowboys probably will fall short.

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: That's the way it kind of looks. You know, you

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: look at the the All Pro teams, the All Pro lists,

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, those are the same voters for

49
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: the most part that vote for these awards. So if

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: if Dak's not gonna win First Team All Pro, then

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: he's probably you know, probably not gonna win MVP uh

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: to Lamar Jackson and and so on. But that's that's

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: the way it looks like, uh, still the good honor

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: for those guys uh to to be there, and we'll see,

55
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. All right, let's get started with

56
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: the calls, Travis and san Antonio. Travis, you're first, what's up, man?

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: Uh, what's going on?

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: I hope?

59
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: I hold I'm leading the getting on the All Pro

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: caller list or the team oh all storyline? Yeahine, you know, yeah,

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: I'm I'm working on that. I'm gonna formulate that, and

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a how many is going

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: to be on it?

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's we'll see, but uh, yeah, you you've

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: got a good uh good shot for sure being on there.

66
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: So but then again, you know, well we'll see how

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: that all goes goes about. I'm still working on that

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: list right now. But last last week, the last show

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, there was a lot of a lot of

70
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: people that have been on it, and I was proud

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: of that, proud of the fact that, you know, like

72
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: we moved the time slot to the afternoon and still

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: still hearing some of the same voices in you as well.

74
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: So what's up, Travis, Well, I just got I got

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: something bat and lead off here, I got I just

76
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: got three things that I want to have a little

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 4: different because I talked to you on our message on

78
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: Twitter and the whole So front office, McCarthy and Dak

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: real quick. So the front office, my theory is a

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: little bit different from everybody else's because you know, the

81
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: you know, it's been about Jerry every year for the

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 4: last twenty eight years, Twain out whatever it is, everyone's saying,

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: it's Jerry Well, I honestly think it's more Stephen Jones

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: and I heard brought us kind of talk about this

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: the other day and it kind of reaffirmed it. But

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: I just think, well, his.

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: Rant but he went on, he went on wine, didn't

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: he Oh yeah.

89
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: He did, And and I mean in a way, I

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: kind of at least I kind of appreciate it because

91
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 4: you know, we kind of say it about players sometimes

92
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: and I know, you guys it's a little bit different.

93
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: But when he's on that, it was it was kind

94
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: of like almost therapeutic to watch him do that, because

95
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 4: it's just it's probably a lot of what people thought.

96
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: But he kind of has a similar idea that I do.

97
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: And I don't think I think Jerry has. You know,

98
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: everyone criticizes him for, you know, not he's been a gambler,

99
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: like he made his whole, you know, the oil business,

100
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 4: his whole life. He's had to gamble things and make

101
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: moves and be aggressive and do stuff. Now, I do

102
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: think where I give Steven Jones and uh Will McClay

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: credit is sometimes he's too aggressive, right with the whole

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: Let's take Johnny Manziel and I talk him off the

105
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: leg and said, let's take Zach Martin said this is

106
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 4: a better option. They get credit for that, But I

107
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: do think that when you look at conversely, when you

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 4: look at Stephen Jones, and I'm not trying to like

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: criticize his life, but I don't think he's had to make.

110
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: I think it's a safe thing to say. I don't

111
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 4: think he's had to make as many critical aggressive decision

112
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: as his dad is. It's just the way, you know,

113
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 4: just the way it is, right. So I think he's

114
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: learned how to run a good business from his dad,

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: But I don't think he's learned how to run like

116
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: the the the aggressive part of Like we say coaches

117
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 4: need to know their team. Well, I don't know if

118
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: he's learned knowing where his team, like the where the

119
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: franchise is to be aggressive, because I think when they

120
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: hit on Dak and Zeke, that was the time back

121
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: then when they should just people's contracts back. Let's push

122
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 4: it back, push it back, let's get money, and let's

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 4: go for it. Now this is this is the opening

124
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 4: they didn't I think if they do it now, Nick,

125
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: it's kind of like bad businesses kind of like make

126
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: reactive decisions, right, good businesses make proactive ones. Well, now

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: we're kind of at the end of the road. And

128
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: it kind of leads me to Mike McCarthy. I think

129
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 4: they brought him back because they don't want to rebuild

130
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 4: a retool or whatever you want to call it. And

131
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: I understand that because this is like I think, to them,

132
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 4: I think Jerry knows we move on from Mike McCarthy

133
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: right now. This we're signaling to everybody this is this

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: error is kind of over and we need to go

135
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: into the next one. So I'm just curious what you

136
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: think of that. But like, for instance, free agency, right,

137
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna circle back quick, free agency. We've talked about

138
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: this and I know you've had on it before, but

139
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 4: Steven Jones a free agency. There's the common conception out there,

140
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: and I think it's true. He wants to win every deal,

141
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: right well, in free agency, winning deals at the top

142
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: of the market is not what free agency is about.

143
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: It's about identifying it, laring weakness and saying this guy

144
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 4: can absolutely help us in a position where we maybe

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 4: we haven't drafted as well, and you got to just

146
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: pay the search charge. I know you want to win

147
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: the deal, but that's that's what you're paying for, Like

148
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: you'd basically paying a charge because you didn't draft. Well there,

149
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: if that makes sense. And then lastly, the Dak thing.

150
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: His contract before this was about leverage, right, it was

151
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: all about leverage. He has all the leverage. I think

152
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: the only way I think they can with an extension,

153
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: they can create thirty one million with his deal, they

154
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: can get like seventy two with restructures, So they can

155
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: go kind of crazy. Do I think they will know?

156
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: I think they need to ride this out, maybe create

157
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 4: I think without his deal you can create like forty

158
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: one million, and you could do some things and whatnot.

159
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: But I think the only way you get any leverage

160
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: back from Dax is you say, Hey, this is the

161
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: number we're prepared to carry you at. This is our

162
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: extension offer. Now he can certainly say no, and I

163
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: wouldn't blame him for saying no. But I think you

164
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: just proceed as is them and you take this Mike

165
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 4: McCarthy last year of his deal and Dak in the

166
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: last year's the deal. Maybe you throw some whit free

167
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: agency and go for it and have it doad work.

168
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: Then I think we're rebuilding and retooling.

169
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Travis, have a good one. All right,

170
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: you two, Thanks for the call. A lot of stuff there,

171
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. I think Dak obviously has

172
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: a lot of leverage. I think one thing that I

173
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: think is getting kind of lost in this is that

174
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: maybe you know Yeah, you could play out this year

175
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: fifty nine million, and he could just play it out

176
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: and they always will play it out. But it's not

177
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of free agent splashes. Not a

178
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: lot of guys you're going to resign around that if

179
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: you're sitting with just a sixty million dollar charge at quarterback.

180
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: And he knows that and the team knows that too,

181
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: So you know, he's obviously playing for the next contract

182
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 2: as well. This team's got this has got to go well.

183
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: So you know, I think I think you've got to

184
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: have some success around this team as well, and so

185
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: maybe maybe there there's something they can kind of work

186
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: with each other on that. As for a free agent philosophy,

187
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: I've said it too. I think it needs to change.

188
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: I really do. I think I think every now and again,

189
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: you got to go for it. You got to go

190
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: for some some splash moves, and you have to kind

191
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: of figure out, Yeah, I mean, there's a reason why

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: the team doesn't want him, there's a reason why he's

193
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: a free agent. The oddist is going to be a

194
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: free agent. He's gonna get some money, and then they're

195
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: gonna look at it and say, well, why aren't the

196
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: Cowboys doing that, and the Cowboys are probably just gonna

197
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: move on from that, just like a lot of teams

198
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: are moving on from their free agent. So you got

199
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: to figure that out. Why didn't it work there? Will

200
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: it work here? What can we get provided differently than

201
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: it didn't work in the first time? So it's a crapshoot.

202
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes it really works, sometimes it doesn't. But I

203
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: think this year, I mean, the Cowboys aren't gonna have

204
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: a great draft pick, and they don't have a lot

205
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: of picks right now. Anyways, they're going to have to

206
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: do something, and I think free agency is probably the

207
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: best about the best bet. I don't know if they'll

208
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: go that route, all right, Michael and Baton Rouge's next, Michael, Oh,

209
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: Michael dropped, Sorry about that. Let's go to Joe in Pennsylvania. Hey, Nick,

210
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 2: how are you doing good? I'm good.

211
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 5: I just want to talk about the deck situation.

212
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: All right.

213
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 5: It just seems to me like it should at this

214
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 5: point come down to a fairly simple equation. Dak's been

215
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 5: there eight years with the same front office. They should

216
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 5: have a good feeling of what he can do, what

217
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 5: he can't do, what he needs around him. To win.

218
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 5: And if they feel like they put the things around

219
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: him that he needs to win and fit that all

220
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 5: under the salary cap with his current cap number, then okay,

221
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 5: keep them. If they feel like he needs more things

222
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 5: and they can't fit her under the cap, it should

223
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: be a you know, come down to a math formula

224
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: almost and say, okay, well we think he needs a

225
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 5: plus offensive line, plus defense, plus receivers, and we just

226
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 5: can't afford that with his contract. And then at that point,

227
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: I think then you have to move on and they

228
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 5: should have that information already, being let they're eight years

229
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 5: in with him.

230
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, this is this is not an

231
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: easy one at all, you know, to to to kind

232
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: of figure out because you know, like like you said,

233
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: the eight years, don't let's don't forget that part that

234
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: you know, them working together and seeing this this kid,

235
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: you know, grow up into the face of the franchise

236
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: for the Cowboys and just how much respect it. I

237
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: think it goes both ways, and so that's what makes

238
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: this thing. Feelings matter, and that's what that's what makes

239
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: it harder than I think it is for some fans

240
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: to be like, you know what, get rid of him,

241
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: get get rid of the It's it's you know, you

242
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: see how hard this guy works and how much he

243
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: wants to win so bad, and and you want it

244
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: for him, and you want to see him have success.

245
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: So that's why I think the Cowboys are going to

246
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: do everything they can to try to make this work

247
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: the best way to keep Dak and try to see,

248
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: you know, try to let him have the success they

249
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: think he can have.

250
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I mean I agree. I mean, he's you know,

251
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 5: he's obviously a great person, and you know, I love

252
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 5: nothing more than to see him win the championship while

253
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 5: he's there, you know, But as running a business, you know,

254
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: you've got to make sure, you know, come up with

255
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 5: what's best for the team, and you know, even if

256
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 5: it's not really what you want to do personally, but

257
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 5: you know that's what's got to happen.

258
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

259
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, and and you know, Tony Romo was released, Troy

260
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 2: Aichman was released, Emmitt Smith was released. I mean that happens,

261
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe happens later on, maybe happens later than

262
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: than it could or should. But again that's where that's

263
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: where it's tough, you know. And and and Jerry's a

264
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: lot more loyal than people I think people ever give

265
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: him credit for, and maybe to a fault sometimes you know, definite,

266
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: you know, and that's that's that's what happened. You know,

267
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: he didn't want to cut the Marcus where, you know,

268
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: go back to that last collar, Travis. I mean, Jerry

269
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 2: did not want to cut to Marcus where he In fact,

270
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: he told DeMarcus face to face meeting, we're not releasing you.

271
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 2: It was a Friday meeting with DeMarcus Warings and we're

272
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: not releasing you. And he was cut on Monday. So,

273
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Stephen, they you know, he that

274
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: was the decision I think they made. That was least

275
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: of the story that was told to me. But but yeah,

276
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's tough to part ways with some

277
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: of these guys, and you know, that's the that's the

278
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: thing that's tough about business. And that's also the thing

279
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: that the players love about Jerry too, because he is

280
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: you know, he's always on in their corner. But it's

281
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: tough to run a business that way out Like you said, absolutely,

282
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: all right, thanks for the call, Joe, appreciate that. All right,

283
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: Let's go to Josh. He's in Upstate New York. Hey

284
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: are you doing, Hey, Josh, how's it going?

285
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 6: Oh?

286
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: Pretty good, surviving the off season, starting to keep back

287
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 3: on our feet from a pretty rough wild card around there.

288
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, getting there question for you. So

289
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: keep hearing people talk about the term the defense built

290
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: to play with the lead. I here cowboys dot com

291
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: talking about it on Nasenal telecaster's talking about during the games,

292
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: and it seems like is that it seems like a

293
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: strange concept to me because you're just going to be down.

294
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: It's not. Honestly, I don't think it's a concept. I

295
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: think it's a really nice way to say, you don't

296
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: you don't stop the run very well, thank you. That's

297
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: what it is.

298
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 6: I mean, you don't thank you.

299
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: It's the stupidest thing.

300
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're not. You're not built this way. We're

301
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: not built this way. It's like, we don't stop the run. Well,

302
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: so the best thing to do is get get up

303
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: on them so they don't run.

304
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: That's it's good example. I don't like Greg Olsen a

305
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: whole lot as a broadcaster. He said, like it's like

306
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: they did a purpose right, right, right.

307
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: He's been surprisingly better than I thought. Honestly, I mean,

308
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: I just, you know, I think he's. I think he's okay.

309
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: I really do. I mean he's he's he's okay.

310
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: To me, that's better this year than it was last year.

311
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: Yet, and that's that's the same with probably most people

312
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: in most jobs.

313
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: In life, you know, accurate.

314
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: Except for Romo. Almost seemed like he was his best

315
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: his first year. I'm talking about as a broadcaster. I

316
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: mean he was, you know, they just hadn't seen him

317
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: people like predict plays and stuff like that. But sure,

318
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: you know, and I really enjoy watching or listening to Romo.

319
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: I think I think he does a good job. I think,

320
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: you know, he's it's almost seems like it's Christmas morning

321
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: every every time he's like, oh Jim, this is quack

322
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: right at least so excited. Sorry, went off on a tangent.

323
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: There, go ahead, Oh you're fine, You're fine.

324
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: To go on tangents.

325
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 5: Right.

326
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: Things right, So.

327
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you? Uh the linebacker thing and the

328
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: offensive line things again, Nick, I'm a hockey player and

329
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: I'm a mountain biker. There have been an offensive lineman.

330
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: But I love watching football.

331
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: I think you could I watch hold on now, you're

332
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: a mountain biker and a hockey player. I mean, yes,

333
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: sign you up. I think you could play guard. I don't.

334
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what you look like, but I mean

335
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: you gotta be tough and that that's two things that

336
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: seem like they're pretty tough.

337
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: My my shoulders wouldn't make Sean Lee look reliable, all right,

338
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: it would. I wouldn't go well but mountain like nowadays.

339
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: But when I see the offensive line on our team,

340
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: you know, it seems like Prescot had a decent amount

341
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: of time. I saw when Tip would run, he seemed

342
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: like he was mostly indecisive. Hit in the line doubts,

343
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: seems like you hit it with confidence and he would

344
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: get somewhere. But like I said, I don't know how

345
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: to judge an offensive line. Is that Nate Newton's is

346
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: me an offensive line? Then I know Nate Newton knows

347
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: he's talking about right, But like I, what what do

348
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: you guys look for?

349
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: What? What?

350
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: What kind of things would you say? Like, oh, the

351
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: offensive line needs to be built up because blank, because

352
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: tarn Smith is getting old and when he's hurt, we

353
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: struggle with it. It seems to me like linebacker is

354
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 3: the bigger priority because we literally don't have any outside

355
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: of vander Esh and a guy who needs to focus

356
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: more on linebacking versus defensive line. In that podcast, you know,

357
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: not to take shots or anything. I love Parsons, I do.

358
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: It's great, but you know focused.

359
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I aree you on that. To answer the question,

360
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: thanks for the called u Yo, Josh, Sorry about Josh, Josh.

361
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Josh. Uh good stuff there. And

362
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: and you know, I I think those two things are

363
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: pretty simple. Is like, what are you looking for? I mean,

364
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 2: I think for an offensive line, they've got to figure

365
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: out how they have got to run the football better.

366
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: And I think they've got to understand from the coaching

367
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: philosophy of what they're being taught and what fits there.

368
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: But you know, it's not always about strength, you know,

369
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: I think look at the last two picks you know

370
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: in the first round, Lossie Smith, Tyler Smith probably are

371
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: going to win most bench press competitions or so it's

372
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: not all about that. Technique is important, and I'm not

373
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: saying Tyler Smith doesn't have it. Tyler Smith is second

374
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: team All Pro. I think he's a Pro Bowl alternate.

375
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: He might find himself there. Who you know in this

376
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: week next week. But I still think, you know, they

377
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: don't run the ball as well, you know, with him

378
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: and Zach Martin. You know, and both those guys are

379
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: really good players, but for whatever the reason, they're not

380
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: running the ball as well, and they have to get

381
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: back to them. You have to run the football, sure,

382
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: Dak all the numbers CD had and all that, and

383
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: you know what, I hope they go down. I hope

384
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: CD's numbers go down because if they go down, they

385
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: could run the ball. That means they'll probably running it more.

386
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: Maybe they're trying to, you know, they're able to run

387
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: out the clock things like that. So I think from

388
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: a linebacker standpoint, I think they got to get these

389
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: linebackers in here they can fill the hold. I think

390
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a problem with what they're drafting,

391
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: in my opinion. I think they're focused way too much

392
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: on speedy linebackers that can cover, and I think that

393
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: kind of what's been lost is the linebackers that get north,

394
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: fill the hole and stop the run. That way, you

395
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 2: do that, you'll figure out your third and seven, third

396
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: and eight, third and eleven packages. If you can do

397
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: that and stop the run, all right, let's go to

398
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: we have some text questions here chance in Montgomery, Texas,

399
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 2: or maybe it's a chance Montgomery. Sorry, I don't know. Sorry.

400
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: We've had the seventeenth game for a couple of years now.

401
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 2: I'd like to see the NFL do something fun with

402
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: the extra game. I'm thinking geographic or historical robberies. You

403
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: know what. I've actually thought that like ten years ago. Seriously,

404
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: I know exactly what you're saying here. I think it

405
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: would be really really cool to do that. Now. Let's

406
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: not forget there could be an eighteenth game here before

407
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: we know it. I think that's kind of where we're headed.

408
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: Eighteenth game wouldn't surprise me. Two preseason games and then

409
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: have eighteen games and then you have now you're back

410
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: to more of a balance with home and away nine

411
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: and nine. And if they did that, I would love

412
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: to see that. He's talking about Dallas versus Houston, you know,

413
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: the Ravens versus Washington, still Steelers Philly. There's about of

414
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: the sixteen combinations, there's about nine or ten that make

415
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: pretty good sense from a geographical standpoint, and then others

416
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: you just would have to do it, like when you

417
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: get up in that Midwest you know, who are the

418
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: Bengals and Browns matching up with the Bears or the

419
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: Packers of Vikings or whatever it is. But you know,

420
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: as soon as you do it once or twice and

421
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: then there's a fight that breaks out, and then all

422
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you here becomes a rivalry, you know.

423
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: So I think it would be I think it's a

424
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: good idea, And maybe maybe you do that for the

425
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: eighteenth game. I don't know, but I think that would

426
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: be great.

427
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: You know.

428
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: I'd like to see that. I'd like Dallas and Houston

429
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: to play every year, you know, or something like that.

430
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: And the way it is with the way it is

431
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 2: with the teams, like you know, yeah, the Patriots had

432
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: a dynasty. You know, forty nine has been good here

433
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: for a while. But you know, for the most part,

434
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: I don't think you would be stuck with this is

435
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: my team that I play every year. You know. Now

436
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: you'd have to figure out too what happens when you

437
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: actually do play them that year? Do you play them twice?

438
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean things like that, but not a bad thought.

439
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: I like it. Another text question, this is Kyle from

440
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: East Brunswick, New Jersey. What's more important in the off

441
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: season aspect to address personnel at running back or the

442
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: actual running back scheme. That's a good question because I

443
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 2: think if you fix this game, you might have a

444
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: better running back and I and I think both. This

445
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: probably needs to be addressed here, and I think both

446
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: will be addressed. I think that they're gonna look at

447
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: the actual running running scheme and also though they got

448
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 2: to get some some personnel, different personnel running backs here.

449
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: I don't foresee Tony Pollard coming back as the number

450
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: one running back. If he's If he's back, then he's

451
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: probably you know, we'll be with you know, another back,

452
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: and I think that could be a good role for him.

453
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: But I have a feeling he'll probably take a deal

454
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: somewhere else, even though it might be the same as

455
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: what the Cowboys had. It wouldn't surprise me if he's

456
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: If he's moving on, but I but either way, you're

457
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: gonna have some different running backs. All right, let's go

458
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 2: to Ali in Florida. Next caller, what's up.

459
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 6: A pretty good buddy? How about yourself?

460
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. What's up with you?

461
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 6: Okay? Good? Got a few takes, you know, I don't

462
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 6: know nothing about who's get a fire and who at

463
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 6: the drag but a couple of take I had press Well.

464
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 6: I really appreciated Jerry Jones. He give us such a

465
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 6: pride and joy to the stadium all his life with

466
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 6: the Cowboys, and I think when I would love to

467
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 6: see Cowboys win the super Bowl while he can enjoy it.

468
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 6: But I think that when Steven and the family take over,

469
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 6: I think the honeymoon is gone because they're gonna go

470
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 6: by the book and everything knows straight, you know, and

471
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 6: those fun things that we always free agents, Jerry is

472
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 6: gonna get them. The second thing is literally the game

473
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 6: we watched all together. After the game, I was thinking

474
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 6: about you and Chris. I swear I hope to god,

475
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 6: Nick and Chris they all have a show on Monday,

476
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 6: because I could swear you're going to get bombarded and

477
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 6: so until, but you showed up in different show. You

478
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 6: didn't have a show, which was great. And second, I

479
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 6: think they are a scouting department.

480
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 7: They really.

481
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 6: Didn't be so effective this year. We could have used it.

482
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 6: The players they choose. I don't know how that goes

483
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 6: in there. You know, Jerry paid these people top dollars

484
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 6: and now Jim Harbaugh is in San Diego. But maybe

485
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 6: he can call him and say, hey, you want to

486
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 6: Masia Smith and the scowermaker, your boat machine gun guy,

487
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 6: the package them and give us a couple of high

488
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 6: draffic we can add up and then maybe hopefully we

489
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 6: can get them cover decent players this year. But as

490
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 6: far as the game, but selling him was that everybody

491
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 6: play back. There's not one single source. I can't blame it.

492
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 6: And to defend of the DAG, I think before the

493
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 6: Tener round was fourteen nothing. I remember the first two

494
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 6: play the defense played good, an list that God was

495
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 6: a stupid penalty, and the TV the way he showed

496
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 6: the game here sometimes you don't see where they're throwing

497
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 6: the ball to. The defense runs next thing you know,

498
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 6: love through middle of somewhere. I tener Rush that nobody's

499
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 6: around this player, So how the hell has happened? But

500
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 6: I think with the dank Quinn this afternoon, by tomorrow

501
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 6: don't I don't know anything, but I think he's going

502
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 6: to be in Seattle and the only changes you can

503
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 6: have in defense. As much as I love him and

504
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: appreciate everything he's done, it would be a nice to

505
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 6: be able to draft and get you agent combinations to

506
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 6: show up the stuff that we need. That's all looked

507
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 6: up with you.

508
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 2: Brother, I'm not sure you know the dan Quin's situation,

509
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. I mean, I know everybody kind of

510
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: keeps assuming that with Seattle, and that makes the most sense.

511
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: I think it makes sense for them, you know. And

512
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: he's won there. He's a defensive coordinator when they won

513
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so you know, and he's if you sit

514
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: down with him for two minutes, i mean, well thirty seconds,

515
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: you like him, you know, and the players like him

516
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: as well, So I think it'd be a good fit,

517
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: I mean for them. Obviously, the timing of you know,

518
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: the Cowboys game with the defense and how they played

519
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: in the playoff and really how they played in the

520
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: last few games not great, you know, for him. But

521
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: I think his body of work is speaks for itself,

522
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: and that even you know, includes the Super Bowl game.

523
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: But you know, the Falcons made it to the Super

524
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: Bowl and you know, and had a lead and had

525
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: a chance to win and should have won the game probably,

526
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: and they got beat by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick,

527
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: you know, and that's yeah, I mean, it was it

528
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 2: was a sad ending for him. But my point is

529
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: is that I think dan Quinn's body of work is uh,

530
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: it shows that that he's he's he's a really good coach.

531
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: And if he does go as the head coach and see,

532
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: I don't think that would be a good fit for

533
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: him and them, then the Cowboys we'd have to figure

534
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: out what happens on defense and and and you know what,

535
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 2: what kind of changes they make. And I've said this before,

536
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: whoever the defensive coordinator is my first question? I mean

537
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: not even how's your flight? How was how was your

538
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: your tripping? I mean it's it's Michael Parsons. What are

539
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: you doing with Michael Parsons? What do you see your

540
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: scheme doing with him? And that, to me is the

541
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 2: most important thing for the defense this year, figuring out

542
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 2: where to play him and how he can be you know, happy,

543
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: and how he can be the most successful, maybe not

544
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: in that order successful, if he's successful, he'll be happy.

545
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 2: We know that, all right, Robin Vegas, what's up? Rob?

546
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: Hey?

547
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 6: Nick?

548
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: Hey, Rob? Thanks for holding You know, I.

549
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 8: Heard some people say a previous call that I you know,

550
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 8: if you changed the head coach, you're in building mode

551
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 8: and that's not true. I mean we changed, we went

552
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 8: from Bill Pacell's the way Phillips he went thirteen to three.

553
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 8: When you have a quarterback, and then let's say it.

554
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 8: I don't see Dak leaving, but if you have a

555
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 8: good quarterback, like what Harball is going to do with

556
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 8: the charges, he's not rebuilding, he's just tweaking it. And

557
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 8: I think Harball or Belichick could have did that here easily.

558
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 8: But let's talk about Dak. This Keem only has two

559
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 8: options with him. You can't trade him because nobody's going

560
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 8: to take him on right because they I don't think

561
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 8: there's a team out there that would be willing to

562
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 8: write a fifty five million dollars a year check to him.

563
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 8: And that's what the Cowboys have to think about. What

564
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 8: is the number that makes Jerry say, no, I'm not

565
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 8: doing this. I mean, is it fifty? Is it fifty two,

566
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: fifty four, fifty five? Because to me, if it's fifty

567
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 8: or plus, I think Jerry should just write it out

568
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 8: the final year, eat the fifty nine million on the cap,

569
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 8: and go from there and listen. If Dak plays great,

570
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 8: we go to the NFC Championship, super Bowl. Okay, you

571
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 8: proved me wrong, and then you write the check and

572
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 8: you're you know, you're not losing much. But if he

573
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 8: if he doesn't, well, okay, audios. But what is the

574
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 8: number in your mind that you think big Cowboy's going

575
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 8: to say, there's just no way I could do this

576
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 8: for this player, and then still think I'm going to

577
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 8: get Michael Parsons done, as CD Lamb done, I'm going

578
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 8: to have to build the offensive line. He's not Patrick Mahomes.

579
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 8: Mahomes does more with less. Most other quarterbacks do not.

580
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: Right, there's only one. To me, there's only one quarterback

581
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: on his level, and that's him. There's nobody else.

582
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 8: And it's proven. He's the only he's the only quarterback

583
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 8: that's won a super Bowl with these max deals. I

584
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 8: call him, where these these fifty MILLLI plus deals, He's

585
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 8: the only guy that's won a super Bowl even going

586
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 8: back to Aaron Rodgers, gho's that paid fifty million now

587
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 8: for a while. And to me, Joe Burrow, Okay, Joe

588
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 8: Burrow got to the super Bowl, but that was before

589
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 8: he got paid.

590
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this to me is just like Brady and Belichick,

591
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: where you know, when you look at the constance of

592
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: what they had I mean, they had each other and

593
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: they had a great tied in and then all the

594
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: other pieces kind of changed here and there, and you know,

595
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: they had some really good players too, But I mean,

596
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: for the most part, that's kind of what it is.

597
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: And that's what I think Andy Reid in mahomesab with

598
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: with Kelsey and then they they kind of figure it out,

599
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: you know, running backs, you kind of forget who they

600
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: are now. When they had Randy Moss for the New

601
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: England they were really good. I mean they're even better,

602
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: but I mean they don't need all that. But You're

603
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: right going back to the Dak thing, and I'm not

604
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: sure I understand the question you're asking about what number

605
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: wou Jerry say he wouldn't do?

606
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, like like so right now he's he's at forty

607
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 8: and we know that Barrow's at fifty five and Jalen

608
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 8: Hurts is at fifty two. So if you're looking at

609
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 8: those two players, do I think Dak is better than

610
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 8: Jalen Hurts? Yeah, I mean, bot of your work. I

611
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 8: think I think the Eagles jumped the gun on him,

612
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 8: and I'm glad they did. But I mean, what do

613
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 8: you do if DK comes to Jerry. If you're Jerry

614
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 8: Jose that Dak says, okay, my number starts at fifty six,

615
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 8: There'd be no way I could do that. I'd be like, how, yeah,

616
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 8: you haven't won, you don't win in the playoffs, you're

617
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 8: two and five. I'm sorry, you know, And that's what

618
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 8: Jerry needs to do. But I don't think he's gonna

619
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 8: I think Jerry's you know, he's I don't think Dak

620
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 8: press gott taken a Tom Brady deal. I give me

621
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 8: forty five.

622
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 6: I don't see that happening.

623
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: Not either. I don't know this. This makes it so hard.

624
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: I'd be lying if I said, yeah, this is what

625
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: I think is gonna happen. I think this can go

626
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: three or four different ways, and it'll probably end up

627
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: going a fifth way that we hadn't even thought of.

628
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: You know.

629
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: That's what they're paid to do upstairs, is be be

630
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: creative about it. So we'll see, we'll see what happens.

631
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

632
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 8: And I heard I heard somebody say something like, I

633
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 8: think it was one of the shows on maybe one

634
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 8: o five. They said, well, you could trade that to Atlanta.

635
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: I was.

636
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 8: I was watching this episode and I'm like, and you

637
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 8: would get three number ones, let's say, and why. I said, well, hell,

638
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 8: you get three number ones and they're gonna take them.

639
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: Why.

640
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 8: But then the one one of the guys said, and

641
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 8: then you could go sign Kirk Cousins. And the guy goes,

642
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 8: what are you crazy? I'd be right back where I started.

643
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 8: The whole point of trading back is to go draft

644
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 8: a Caleb Williams or whoever you think. That's why I

645
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 8: would saying the other day, if you could trade Michael

646
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 8: Parsons to Chicago or the Chargers, you're only doing that

647
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 8: to get your future quarterbacks, not to get an offensive alignment.

648
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: Right, So.

649
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll see I guess, yeah, we'll see.

650
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: Good thoughts though, all right, Rob appreciate it. Let me

651
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: get a text question here from Dan and Philly says

652
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: the lack of consistent running game was a huge problem

653
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: this season. I don't see Pollard being resigned. What are

654
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: your thoughts on what they do at running back free

655
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: agency and the draft? Past Cowboys is Benny Barnes. I

656
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: don't have a lot with Benny Barnes. I mean that

657
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: was when I was first really watching the team. I

658
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: think he wore thirty one it's about all I know

659
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: about Bennie Barnes. He really I didn't really it was

660
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: a little bit before my time. Cornerback though, I know

661
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: that thirty one, But running back, I think I think

662
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: you'll see a draft pick and a free agent. I

663
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: think you'll see both. I mean, you have to, you

664
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: have to, you have to fill the numbers there. I

665
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: don't think anybody really that's on the team right now

666
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: is going to be factored in. I don't they could

667
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: resign Rico Daddle just kind of just kind of okay

668
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: with him, you know, I'm just I don't know he's

669
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: He's okay, he's decent. But I mean I think I

670
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: think you gotta you gotta get some some guys with

671
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: the potential to be special. And so I think you'll

672
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: see a draft pick and a free agent signing, all right,

673
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: Rob in Rio grand Valley, Bob, Sorry Bob and Rio

674
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: grand Valley got hey, Bob, how are you good?

675
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: I need for you to bear with me today. Normally

676
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm on and all for the durned quick, but I

677
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: want to get into a little bit of a serious

678
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: discussion here today at UH. I think uh, I think,

679
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: first of all, at the I'm a big supporter of

680
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: our head coach. I think Mike has done a terrific

681
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: job with the personnel that he's had, But with the

682
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: schedule that we've got next year, I'm afraid he's being

683
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: set up to the perfect storm at Uh. I mean,

684
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: you look at who we're going to be playing next year.

685
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: At I don't see any way in the world that

686
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: we're going to win twelve games unless we break the

687
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: mold of that of the past, particularly last year's draft.

688
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: We wasted a year on the draft last year. Molesey Smith,

689
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: it hasn't He might develop, yes, but he was not

690
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: a plug in player. He was not a number one pick,

691
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been. Scoonmaker was a complete bust. He hasn't

692
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: done a durned thing. And then we go in the

693
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: sixth or seventh round and we draft the centilemll midget

694
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: to play professional football. That was a wasted draft. I

695
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: mean that was we could have used another prospect that

696
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: might have turned into a player. If this kid's not

697
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: going to grow up to be five ft ten and

698
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: weigh one hundred and ninety pounds, it's just not in

699
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: his geens a. He was great for Kansas state. But

700
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about the NFL. We've got to hit it

701
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: the draft this year, and we've got to start out

702
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: addressing the issues that need to be taken care of.

703
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: Well, hold on, hold on, let me let me cut

704
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: cut you off for a second here, okay, because I'm

705
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: going to defend this part that that they had a

706
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: fifth round grade on him on deuce Van and I

707
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: think that's disrespectful to say that what you said, because

708
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: they put they picked three or four other guys on

709
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: top of him, and you know, because they didn't go

710
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: the sentimental route right then. They waited till the sixth round.

711
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 2: They had already taken another sixth round pick and Eric Scott.

712
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 2: They took a couple of guys in the fifth round,

713
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: and they're like, hey, this is a guy we had

714
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: graded highly. This isn't just because his dad's in our

715
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: room and we like him. This is the guy that

716
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: they had. You look at him in the preseason. He

717
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: was productive, he had people excited, they're selling jerseys and

718
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: all that. It's not the same in the regular season.

719
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 2: They figure that out. He didn't play a whole lot.

720
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, okay, six round pick, but this is

721
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: a guy that they graded highly. So I don't. I don't.

722
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair to say that, to say, oh,

723
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: they just picked them. This is what Jerry's doing. They're

724
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: just drafting guys' skin. All those guys have kids, and

725
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: then they're not getting picked. You know, John John Steven

726
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: Jones didn't get picked. I mean like that. I just

727
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: don't think that's fair to say that about this just fun.

728
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

729
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: Well, my opinion is that it was a wasted pick.

730
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: We got to start out in the first round and

731
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna need a center. We need a big, physical

732
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: center that can move, that can block, can open up

733
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: holes for run backs, and we don't have that. It

734
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: looks like that we're gonna have the possibility to do that.

735
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: That first round pick needs to go right there. Second round,

736
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: we need an offensive tackle. We've got a left tackle

737
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: who is injury prone, he's older, is he's got a

738
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: limited future. It's time to move. Get yourself a good

739
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: tackle to put next to Tyler Smith and lock up

740
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: that side of the line. Third, we need a linebacker.

741
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: We need a physical linebacker that can play from from

742
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: sideline to sideline and that can fill holes and make tackles.

743
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: That's that's your third round. Fourth round? All right?

744
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: How many rounds be going here?

745
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna have to skip the fourth unless something coming.

746
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: Fourth yeah out, all right, seventh round.

747
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: Now, we've got to really start digging because we need

748
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: some help on the defense. We need some help is

749
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: stopping to run, and that's going to take some really

750
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: good scouting work. And we and the personnel department and

751
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: the scouting department in the home office needs to listen

752
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: to these scouts that are out there watching these players.

753
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: We need to find a gym in the rough. And

754
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: if we don't draft well this year, I don't care

755
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: what Mike McCartney does. He's gone and it's had no

756
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: fault of his own.

757
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the thing. Okay, Bob, thanks for

758
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: the call. It's Mike McCarthy too. You know, guys, and

759
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 2: I don't say this very often because it has been

760
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: the color has been awesome. But if you can't be respectful,

761
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: if if you don't know what words to say, we

762
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: don't say maybe please, I'm just asking nicely, don't don't call.

763
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that that that went longer than it should.

764
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 2: I had some obviously, I didn't agree with with the

765
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: with the take you're saying about is fun, but also

766
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 2: the words to describe him, and it's ridiculous. So I

767
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 2: that that that can't happen. That can happen again. As

768
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: for the draft, and and you know last year like this,

769
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 2: that was these guys did not these these guys did

770
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: not perform. I mean, we know that everyone sees that.

771
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: The good thing I think you can hang your hat

772
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: on is that this team does draft well. They draft well,

773
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: did they? You know what this class looks like right

774
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: now now? It doesn't look like a good class at all.

775
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: But but we'll see what happens because they're gonna have

776
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: to lean on it. But you know, this team does

777
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: draft well two years ago. Let's don't act like that,

778
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: you know, let's don't act like they don't. They got

779
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick that's the Defensive Player of the

780
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: Year finalist, All Pro First first Team Deron Bland. They

781
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 2: got a tied end in the fourth round, who I'm

782
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: just gonna tell you right now is going to be

783
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: in the Pro Bowl next week. He's not there right now,

784
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 2: He'll be there. That's what I think. Jake Ferguson will

785
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: be there. He was a really good So it's not

786
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 2: like they don't pick well. They they do. They do.

787
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: This year they did not. They did not, and at

788
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: least that's what it looks like so far. All right,

789
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: all right, let's go to Marco and Vancouver, Washington.

790
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: Act.

791
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 7: How's it gone?

792
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 2: Hey, how are you?

793
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: I'm all right. I'll try not to be as contents,

794
00:39:59,440 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: but I did.

795
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 7: He actually kind of stole some of my points. I

796
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 7: actually talked to you earlier this year. Heck, trying to

797
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 7: get through to you guys, but I called in earlier

798
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 7: this year when you asked about one one player to

799
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 7: bring back, and I brought up Travis Frederick.

800
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 9: So I kind of agree with him as far as

801
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 9: we were this year in the draft pick the way

802
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 9: I look at it, at twenty four, you know, everybody's

803
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 9: gonna talk about offensive linemen, you know, and everybody talks about.

804
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 7: Getting a tackle, and we did. We did good with Tyler,

805
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 7: but he was what the fifth maybe best, you know,

806
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 7: and that might be the best tackle on your board

807
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 7: left by the time you get down to that pick, right,

808
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 7: I'd rather have the best center, which is more likely

809
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 7: over one of the top two guards. Yeah available, because

810
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 7: you even mentioned it on the I think the call

811
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 7: before that about uh Zach and Tyler. You know, they

812
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 7: just didn't have to open up those holes. And I

813
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 7: don't know it was in the last game of the

814
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 7: year against Washington and if you notice, but when Hoffman

815
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 7: and and uh oh the other.

816
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: Guys, they just they were opened up poles. Now.

817
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 7: I know Washington was probably they might have been thrown

818
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 7: the towel a little bit, but they just those guys

819
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 7: are kind of built a little more.

820
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 6: Stout, you know.

821
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 7: I like both Zach and Tyler and get it back,

822
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 7: but I think if they're going, you know, in the draft,

823
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 7: they just need to work up the middle. I was

824
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 7: a baseball player, you know, and baseball they always say

825
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 7: it's built up the middle, and I kind of feel

826
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 7: the same way actually in all sports, really basketball but football,

827
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 7: and especially on the defensive side. Yeah, I hear your

828
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 7: take there on the linebackers too, you know, they need

829
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 7: to get bigger there. And as far as the Dak situation,

830
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 7: I think the best bet to do is extend them

831
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 7: maybe two years, because in two years you got to

832
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 7: pay Micah and you're not gonna be able to pay

833
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 7: both Dak and Micah or have them, you know by

834
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 7: the time. I mean after that, you think, besides the

835
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 7: Dacks contract, what that's going to be is you get

836
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 7: too maybe you can get two year run with him

837
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 7: before you have to start paying these other guys.

838
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 6: Otherwise this is going to.

839
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 7: Go in a total tank rebuild job after that. I mean,

840
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 7: if he wants to be competitive with this team beyond

841
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 7: the next year, to keeping some of these players, I

842
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 7: think that's kind of going to be the limit. And

843
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 7: you think about that'll be ten years. If if you

844
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 7: can't do it, you know, it's probably worth taking a

845
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 7: shot and moving on after that.

846
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: Okay, well, you know what though, I agree exactly what

847
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: you're saying, what you're thinking about with the middle of

848
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: the of the team. You know, you did the baseball

849
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: reference there, you know, pitchers, catchers, and obviously centerfield all that,

850
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 2: but you know, you look at the last three draft picks,

851
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: they've kind of gone that way. I can't remember exactly

852
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: what they were calling Micah Parsons. I mean, he was

853
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: a linebacker. I don't know if they were saying he

854
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: was a middle linebacker. Uh, probably more out outside, but

855
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: then he ended up being, you know, an edge rusher

856
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: for most of the time, but you know, still a

857
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: linebacker that they were going to have there sort of

858
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: in the middle. And then they had Tyler Smith and

859
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: then Mazzie Smith.

860
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: You know.

861
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what's so ironic about the the

862
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: Mazzie Smith thing is that was out of their comfort zone.

863
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 2: That pick. I mean, they hadn't drafted a first round

864
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: defensive tackle since Russell Maryland in nineteen ninety one, first

865
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 2: overall pick. And then they then Mazzie Smith. I mean,

866
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 2: that wasn't that wasn't a position that they've ever really

867
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: addressed like that. But they're like, hey, got to fix

868
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 2: the run. We have to fix this run. We're going

869
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 2: to resign Jonathan Hankins and then get into the draft

870
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: and then you know, let's get this guy strong as

871
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 2: an ox and he'll come in here here and he'll

872
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 2: he'll help us. And that just did not happen. It

873
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: did not, and that's a surprise to a lot of people.

874
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: But but but I mean it's a move that they went,

875
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 2: like I said, you know, out of their their comfort

876
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 2: zone a little bit. And yeah, you look at it

877
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: now and you can say, oh, man, you know, they

878
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: could have taken Laporta. Of course Laporta's probably he doesn't

879
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: have the year he had in Detroit, you know, and

880
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: Ferguson doesn't have the year he had here. So you know,

881
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: I think that it is what it is there, you know.

882
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 2: I mean I look at the Miami running back eight

883
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: Chan that that would have been nice probably, you know. Uh,

884
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 2: And I think it's a guy that they were looking

885
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: at maybe in the third round, uh, maybe before they

886
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 2: took over Shown and maybe speaking of him, maybe Overshow

887
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 2: is a guy that can sort of save the draft class.

888
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: You know, you need linebacker help. Here's a guy that

889
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 2: that's coming back. You know that when I when I

890
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 2: think of the team, I think of the defense, you know,

891
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: you look at it and you say, they got an

892
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 2: All Pro that didn't play in and Travon Diggs and

893
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens he comes back and and

894
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 2: where he's ready to go. And then Overshown as well,

895
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to help. All right, let's

896
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: go to uh text line Trey. He's in Charlottesville, Virginia,

897
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 2: currently resigning in Louisiana. Hey, Nick, love the show and

898
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 2: your work. Thank you. These are my top two needs.

899
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 2: Center and linebacker, What do you think you'd rather get

900
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 2: a VET versus draft to solve the need? Oh Man,

901
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: When I think of centners though, and I think I

902
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: see Jason Kelcey and some guy in Buffalo, you know,

903
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: and got this. I mean there's just just that look,

904
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 2: you know, you got that look that center, look got

905
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: the beard hanging out them, you know, and the helmet.

906
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean, and they had that guy, right, Travis Frederick.

907
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: I mean, he was sort of that guy. That's just

908
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 2: what I think, just this just strong, lumberjack type guy.

909
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 2: And so I'd like to see a veteran. But then again,

910
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: everybody wants to keep their center. So if he's a

911
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: veteran free agent, then what's the deal? You know, what's

912
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: what's that's the prob I mean, just go look at

913
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 2: be honest, is probably gonna be one of the top centers,

914
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: and I think the Cowboys are going to move on there.

915
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: So the draft might be your your best bet there. Linebacker,

916
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: I think at this point, both free agency and draft

917
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: with linebacker, the needs just need to be there. Again,

918
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: a lot of this is gonna determined by what happens

919
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 2: at the coordinator position. If if Dan Quinn leaves for

920
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: another head coaching job. Then you know who comes in

921
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: and what style do they play, and then that could

922
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 2: change a lot of things. Another text question Jason from Pennsylvania.

923
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: With head coaching positions being filled, what's your gut feeling

924
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 2: on dan Quinn being back? Well, I unless something happened

925
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: in the last five minutes about Seattle. I mean, I

926
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: still kind of think that could be the case, but

927
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: I think something, you know, I I still just feel

928
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: like dan Quinn will not be back. I just think

929
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: he's going to get a position. That's what my gut

930
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 2: feeling says about it. But again, I don't know what's

931
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 2: happening up there and then Seattle or really any of

932
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: these places. Let's go to Bruce and Houston.

933
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how you doing, Buddy good?

934
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: How are you Hey?

935
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 10: Thanks for being kind to that caller. I've heard him

936
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 10: before too. He had a good take. I don't sounded

937
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 10: like an older guy. You should have asked how old

938
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 10: are you?

939
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 6: And then if he.

940
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 10: Said seventy, oh, well we shouldn't listen to seventy people

941
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 10: because you're too old. But yeah, yeah, another story, but

942
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 10: you defended him, well.

943
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, you know those vun It didn't really work like

944
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 2: like we thought that it might, you know, I know,

945
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: it was kind of exciting there in preseason, but then

946
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 2: you got to remember the guys that were you know

947
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 2: that he that were not tackling him were probably not

948
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 2: in the NFL ian He was third, third, fourth quarter

949
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 2: to get it. But uh, you know, I mean, everybody's

950
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: kind of excited about it. He was doing some things,

951
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: and he showed some things at training camp too, you

952
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 2: know where, but it just did. It didn't work, and

953
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: maybe it's still maybe it will, you know, I mean,

954
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 2: what did you do? Was freshman year at Kansas State,

955
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know what I mean, I.

956
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 10: Know, but if you look at his stats in Kansas State,

957
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 10: my god, they compared him with h B.

958
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 6: John Robinson.

959
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 10: It wasn't too far off from it. He just didn't

960
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 10: have the physical part of it. Look, he's a good player,

961
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 10: he's a gadget player. Philo deput team Westbrook or whatever

962
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 10: that guy was. Sprolls was another guy that just got

963
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 10: I hated it was hard to tackle.

964
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 2: A little bit.

965
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we used him.

966
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 2: Let me say this about Westbrook and Sprolls. Those guys

967
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: there there legs, I mean they're like tree trunks. Okay,

968
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 2: those guys are I mean and built differently than than Deuce.

969
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: But you know, look at I look at a guy

970
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 2: like Danny Woodhead, you know, a few years ago. I

971
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 2: don't know if you remember him New England and then

972
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 2: also the Chargers. You know, a guy like that has

973
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 2: to develop a little bit. I don't think they're gonna

974
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: give up on him, but you know, yeah, but the

975
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 2: whole I mean, why why are we picking on him?

976
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Junior for Hoko, fourth round pick didn't do

977
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: anything awesome. Richards fifth round pick really didn't do anything.

978
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: So Jalen Brook, I mean, your best rookies were guys

979
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: you didn't draft t J. Basson Hunter. LOOKI those are

980
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 2: the two best rookies, correct. And I thought Aubrey was

981
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: considered a rookie. The NFL is now saying he is

982
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 2: a first year player either way. Either way, that was

983
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: a heck of a fine too, no doubt.

984
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 10: So my opinion on that, I agree with you, Linebacker,

985
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 10: but I think you need to go get free agents

986
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 10: linebackers because that's a tough position to learn on the

987
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 10: fly as a rookie, and because I think they're going

988
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 10: to be all chips in next year. McCarthy may be

989
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 10: called the lame duck, but you know, so what it is?

990
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: What of this?

991
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 10: If they were smart, they'd say, hey, you give me

992
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 10: one more year. If I don't make it to the

993
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 10: championship game, you ain't got fire me. I'll quit. Of

994
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 10: course they'll never say that, but and Dak are to

995
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 10: do the same thing too. I like, I've been reading

996
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 10: about redoing this contract just so that they can pay

997
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 10: him upfront.

998
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 6: They still have to pay him.

999
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 10: But this needs to be his last year. If he

1000
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 10: doesn't get us to the championship game, let him walk

1001
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 10: and take Trey Lance or a draft pick, and you know,

1002
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 10: at least at least we'll be.

1003
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 6: Done with that.

1004
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 10: I do kind of like that idea someone mentioned about

1005
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 10: Michael Parsons trading him to Chicago or somebody for a

1006
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 10: top draft pick. That might be hard to do and

1007
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 10: the fans would hate it, but might be a smart

1008
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 10: thing to do. But I would go if I was drafting,

1009
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 10: I would go offensive tackle first, because it's a big,

1010
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 10: big group in this year's draft, and if we could

1011
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 10: get that Powers kid the center with your second piece

1012
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 10: tecond pick, even if you had to bump up, you know,

1013
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 10: a sixth rounder to get in front of it. Then

1014
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 10: you've made your offensive line of power again. You still

1015
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 10: got Tyler Smith, uh fairly young, and then you've got

1016
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 10: a young center and a young tackle.

1017
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: So even if you did have to go new.

1018
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 10: With a new quarterback, then in at least you'd have

1019
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 10: some young guys to build. But you've got a big

1020
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 10: one and put some weight back on Mazie Smith. I

1021
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 10: don't know why they made him go younger. So I

1022
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 10: kind of hope dan Quinn gets the Seattle job. My

1023
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 10: last question, I'll hang up. Do you think that'll go

1024
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 10: after quin? Is it Martindale from the Giants?

1025
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1026
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 2: I thank you. I think he'll I think if that happens,

1027
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean I could see a an older veteran coordinator,

1028
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 2: maybe not one of the younger guys, so I, you

1029
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: know his name is would be on the list for sure.

1030
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 2: It's hard to kind of get ahead of that because

1031
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 2: it's you know, you still you know who knows because

1032
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 2: dan Quinn comes back and then he'll be back. But

1033
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 2: either way, if he comes back, it means your head coach,

1034
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 2: your quarterback, your offensive coordinator, your defensive coordinator are all back. Okay,

1035
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm all for continuity, but what's going to be different?

1036
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 2: Tell me what is different? Something has to be different,

1037
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 2: you just have and not so much for those guys.

1038
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 2: For you guys, you guys, it has to be different.

1039
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 2: It has to be They have to figure out how

1040
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 2: to do something that a wow move or something to

1041
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 2: get people excited. And I think people are viewing the

1042
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 2: dan Quinn situation as much as they'd like dan last

1043
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 2: two years, they were afraid he was going to leave.

1044
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: This year, I think it's just because they wanted to

1045
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 2: see something different. You want to you want to say,

1046
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: all right, well, at least we can bank on this.

1047
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 2: You know, maybe this year this guy's gonna do something

1048
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 2: a little different with parsons or or have a different

1049
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 2: scheme when it comes to the run, defense of the

1050
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 2: linebackers or whatever. So I think that's kind of why

1051
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 2: I hear people thinking kind of hope he takes a job,

1052
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 2: just because they want to see something different. And I

1053
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 2: don't blame I mean, I'd be great if dan Quinn

1054
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,959
Speaker 2: came back. But all I'm saying is something's got to change.

1055
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: You've got to figure out how to make make this different,

1056
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 2: and we'll see, we'll see what happens. All right, good show, guys,

1057
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: appreciate it with less on the callers here. Uh, you

1058
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 2: guys are talking a little bit a little bit more,

1059
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 2: which is fine. You got things to say. But that's

1060
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 2: that's great, good stuff. As always. We'll be back next Tuesday,

Speaker 2: for sure. Next Tuesday. Maybe not Thursday. I'm uh they'll

1064
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 2: sure about the Thursday show. Maybe we'll move into a

00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 2: different day, but definitely Tuesday we'll be back. We'll be

Speaker 2: but we know who's not. That's okay. We'll be talking

1068
