1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys.

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 2: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It's Tuesday, February

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh, getting close to the end of this month.

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: Of course, we have a couple extra days this year,

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: with leap Year coming up on Thursday. I always hated

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: Leapyear as a kid because my birthday's early March, and

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: so it's just one more day to before the birthday.

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: But I would really be terrible to have your birthday

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: on leap year. I would think, or maybe it's not.

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it's cool. Maybe you tell people you're fourth of

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: your age every time. Who knows, all right, but that's

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: not today. That's that's Thursday. We'll talk about that on

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: Thursday on February twenty ninth. But today, February twenty seventh,

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: we'll got plenty to talk about with the Cowboys. Course,

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: the combines going on in Indianapolis, which means people up

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: there talk. You know, Steven Jones is there talking today.

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I think Jerry Jones will be talking on Thursday or Friday,

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: maybe Friday this this week, so you know, with free

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: agency coming up, lots to lots going on, lots to

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: talk about. I don't know how many answers actually came

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: out of that. I saw some of the some of

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: the storylines there and some of the quotes from Steven Jones.

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing to earth shattering, just about the free

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: agents and the guys that that are, you know, the

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: decisions they have to make coming up with some of

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: these these free agents. But you know, I think it all,

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: it all starts really with Dak I mean, that's that's

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: the big contract that will kind of determine what they do.

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: And you know, everything always starts with the quarterbacks, and

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: so this one no different, but some different things that

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: he said about, you know, wanting Tyron Smith back and

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: then obviously they like Tony Pollard. But I think the

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: market's going to tell what happens. There a lot of

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: running backs obviously there, and I'm sure there'll be some

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: questions or two about that today. Sorry. Eight eight, eight, eight, five,

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: five two two nine seven is the number to call.

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: You can text as well. Eight one seven two nine

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: zero three two nine to eight. So we already have

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: one caller on the line. The lines are open, so

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: at least one of them is, so you can definitely

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: call and get a chance to talk. Last week we

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: got three or four new callers there, so always good

47
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: to hear from from new voices, but also the ones

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: that call a lot. And here's one of them, Dylan

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: in Northport, Florida. What's up, man?

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: Hey, how you doing good?

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: How are you good?

52
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: Spend a minute?

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, times a little tougher, but I'm glad I was

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: able to get in here today.

55
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: All Right, what do you got?

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: Something that you and Rob had talked about a couple

57
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: of times now is the Micah Parsons drop off late

58
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: in the season. And I was curious about that because

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, to this guy, really like the calendar changes

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: to like December, he just falls off the face of

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: the planet, like we all know. He was getting pressures,

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: but his sacks just like disappeared completely. And so I

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: went and I did a little bit of research at

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: specifically the time to throw, because something stuck out to

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: me in the Seattle game, this kind of story on

66
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: Gino is that the dude held out of the ball

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: the way too long. So I thought that was going

68
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: to be sack city in that game, but they went

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: and made a concerted effort to get the ball out quick,

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: kind of negate his presence there on the field as

71
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: far as sacks go. And so I went and looked

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: at the games following that one, and the quarterbacks are

73
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: getting the ball out ten to twenty percent faster every

74
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: single game. And that's where we saw the Michael drop

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: off was after that game. He only had a couple

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: two and a half stacks from that point on the

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: rest of the season. That was only week thirteen. So

78
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: that tells me that maybe they saw something the other

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: teams were able to pick on as well, with our

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: cornerbacks losing off the line of scrimmage, teams getting up

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: and quicker, and obviously we know they, you know, try

82
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: to run the ball as well against us, but I

83
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: don't think it's necessarily And I do think there is

84
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: something to Mike needing to gain weight if he's gonna

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: play d end you know, full time. Obviously he's too

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: light to be there full time. But I don't know

87
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: if the drop off is as severe as we think.

88
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: Maybe it is based on him alone, I think it

89
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: has something to do with the rest of the defense

90
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: as well, and specifically the cornerbacks losing off the line

91
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 2: and out if that's like a scheme thing or the

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: DB's just losing off the line or what. But I

93
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: don't thought that was kind of interesting.

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah that is, I mean, because you want to I

95
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: wish I had my stats in front of me. The pressures.

96
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: That's something to look at too. Did the pressures change?

97
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously sacks they don't is one. I

98
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: mean I don't feel like they do. I mean I

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: don't feel I feel like all the pressures are still there.

100
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's a combination of everything. I really do.

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: I think you're right. It's good that you did the research,

102
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: and you're right. I mean, you know, teams aren't going

103
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: to continue to just do the same thing. I mean,

104
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: you're going to double team. You know. I saw a

105
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: game the other day. My team was playing basketball. We

106
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: gave up forty points to a guy Arkansas, Texas A

107
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: and M the next game he got six.

108
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 4: You know.

109
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they do things different, so you're not just

110
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: going to continue to do the same thing. So I

111
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a combination of that of you know,

112
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: let's address this issue with with Micah. You know, if

113
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you're having to block him, we're gonna try this on him,

114
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this. So there's a lot of things,

115
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's all. It's also three years now.

116
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I think his body type is probably I mean, he

117
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: does get tired. He has to be tired and worn

118
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: down because it's not natural to be playing at that weight.

119
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: So I think it's a little bit of everything. But

120
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: but if the pressures aren't really going down, then I

121
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: think it's it's probably more to it than than the

122
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: just what you say, you know, than what people are

123
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: thinking is that he's tired, he's worn down.

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and his pressures didn't go down. You're talking he

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: had just as many pressures in the last six games

126
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: here as the rest of the season in the other games.

127
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: You look at his double team win rate as well,

128
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: he is the highest percentage of double team in the league,

129
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: and he wins the highest cent of double teams in

130
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: the league. So like he's still winning, he's still getting

131
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: the pressures. But that that point two second differential, it

132
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: seems like such a small number when we're talking time

133
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: to throw and he's getting pressures, not the sacks. Well,

134
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons why.

135
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right, appreciate that. That's just a good research.

136
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: As we found out last week. You know, z point

137
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: four seconds, you can do a lot of things, like

138
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: you can throw a long pass and catch it and

139
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: shoot it. I'm still not over there, but anyways, yeah

140
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: point two. I mean, that doesn't sound like a lot,

141
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: but but it is. I mean, from a quarterback, everything

142
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: speeds up quickly. So I think I think it's good

143
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: that that's that's good to know that. I mean, I

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: think that the pressures are still there. I think teams

145
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: are are trying to make a conscious effort to block

146
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: him differently, throw the ball quicker. But I'm not gonna

147
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: just dismiss the fact that that he's probably you know,

148
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: not the same. You know, it probably wears down a

149
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: little bit because there's just not many people at his

150
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: weight that are that are playing that position and doing

151
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: it all the time. So all right, let's got Shelby

152
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: in Virginia. It's the next caller, Shelby. What's up, Hey, Nick?

153
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 3: How you doing?

154
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing great? How are you doing?

155
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 5: I'm doing great? I wanted to call back. I tried

156
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: to call a bunch the Monday after the Dark Dark

157
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 5: Sunday in January, but I couldn't get through. I think

158
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 5: the show waited a few days, but I just wanted

159
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: to say thank you so much for stopping by and

160
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 5: saying lord to my dad at the Washington game. That

161
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: was just a huge There's been a lot of talk

162
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 5: of journey over destination and I was just, you know,

163
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 5: something I'll never forget and my dad and I'll never forget.

164
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Well, let's let's, you know, let's be honest about the situation.

165
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: It started with you guys. I mean the generosity to

166
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: give tickets to somebody and do it, do it through

167
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: this show, and do it through this show, which was

168
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: really fun and I appreciate that. I know Chris does

169
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: as well and so and then also to have you know,

170
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: such good seats where you could just walk down to

171
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: where we were and it's not like you were way

172
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: up high. I mean, you guys had really good seats

173
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: right by the tunnel. It was really good. So it

174
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: started with you guys. I mean that that was just

175
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: an amazing gesture. And then it was cool that we

176
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: were able to kind of do that and connect to

177
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: some more fans from storyline that was really neat, So

178
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: it was great. It was it was just as much

179
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: fun for us to meet you guys as it was

180
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: maybe the other way around. I really appreciate it.

181
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 6: So, oh that's awesome.

182
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun.

183
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 5: Uh detected with Mark a bit, yeah, Philly during the

184
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 5: playoff game, just commiserating and yeah, but so thankful that

185
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 5: we got to do that.

186
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: That was awesome. I don't want to play I don't

187
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: want to play trivia with him, you know. I mean,

188
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: like I thought I had a stumper and he.

189
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 5: Was just like, dude, that was something else.

190
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I had no idea.

191
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 5: My dad had no idea too, he wouldn't have gotten it.

192
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: So good.

193
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 5: But yeah, for to go through the season, you know,

194
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 5: I probably listened to this show more than I watched

195
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 5: the Cowboys play, you know, just five hours a week

196
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: of content. So very thankful for all they all due,

197
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 5: thank you and keeping it going after a tough loss

198
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: like that. My My only question is I thought Zavian

199
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 5: Howard got released, and I've I've listened to a few

200
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: shows now I took a break. When I'm back at

201
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 5: David Howard's release, is it would it be worth looking

202
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 5: at him and maybe letting go of Gilmore and trying

203
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: to get I mean he's a little younger, more expensive,

204
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: but a better long term option. Have you given that

205
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 5: any thought?

206
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: And with that, I'll that's good, that's good question. I

207
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: mean that they Gilmore is going to be an interesting,

208
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: you know, uh situation because they he played well. I mean,

209
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. I mean, he played well.

210
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: They traded a fifth round pick, they got him, and

211
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: he did he did a nice job. He got hurt,

212
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: and I thought and I think his value was unfortunately

213
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: was seen at the end there, you know, when when

214
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: he when he got hurt, he wasn't the same player,

215
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: and I think Green Bay definitely took advantage of that.

216
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: But you know, he's going he's he had surgery on

217
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: his shoulder and so it's going to be a little

218
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: bit before he comes back. I think that's going to

219
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: affect his his market, I would think affects the market.

220
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with him. You know, he's

221
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: also he's also tied closely to Brandon Cooks. I mean

222
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: those two other than them being on the field, you

223
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: don't see them apart that much. I mean Brandon Cooks,

224
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore. I mean I think I think you know

225
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Gilmore would like to be here. I assume Cooks would be.

226
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: He's got another year under his on his contract. So

227
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: but but to what you're asking, can you get better there?

228
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: Can you get better than than than Gilmore at that spot?

229
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: You know Diggs is coming back, So what's what's the role?

230
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: I you know, this team needs a lot And I

231
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: don't know if if signing a corner, a veteran corner

232
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: who's just been released and and for contract reasons, I

233
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: don't know if that's your best play. I mean, think

234
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: about it now, when when free agency hits, you've got

235
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: starters that are that are not going to be there.

236
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean your free agency. You have a

237
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: left tackle who's a free you have a running back,

238
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: two running backs free agent, center free agent, and so

239
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: when free agency starts, you could lose some of these

240
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: guys to other teams. At corner, you've got Gilmour and

241
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, but you've got Diggs, and you've got Duran Bland,

242
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: and then you got some other younger guys as well.

243
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know if it's as pressing I like

244
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: where you're thinking though, you know, upgrade from that position.

245
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: But for the money, I don't know. I think you

246
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: could maybe get Gilmour on a good deal bringing back.

247
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: You have to rehab him, but I think he's a

248
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: veteran that that would that would be just fine to

249
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: start whenever he's ready. So it's that's an interesting position.

250
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: It's you've got guys, but you also one of your

251
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: guys is coming back from injury. You know, I do

252
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: you have question marks there. I don't know if they

253
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: make that big a splash, but you know something something

254
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: along those lines sounds good to me. All right, I

255
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: got a text question here from the two, one four numbers,

256
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: so right here in the Dallas area, says, do you

257
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: expect the player to be all in this year? Do

258
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: you do they have to set the market or are

259
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: they willing to share the pie? And sure this is

260
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: a reference to the salary cap that went up quite considerably.

261
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: I believe almost was it thirty million? So I don't

262
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: necessarily think that helps the Cowboys. I think it might

263
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: help a little bit to get some guys under contract

264
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. But in terms of market, though, you still

265
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: have teams that have a lot more money than you.

266
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: And what happens is when teams have a lot of

267
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: money and then it gets even bigger, that's where the

268
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: contracts will get bigger. It'll be out of control a

269
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: little bit. So I don't know if it helps the

270
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: Cowboys that much. I think you're going to see a

271
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: lot of big deals, big contracts this year. And Chris

272
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: actually sent this for me, all right, So it did

273
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: increase thirty point six million to two hundred and fifty

274
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: five point four million dollars. It helps teams kind of

275
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: function a little bit, but it doesn't help them compete

276
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: with a lot of teams that are you know, now

277
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: you can really throw some money around, and so I

278
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: don't but I don't think the players are going to

279
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: be all in from that standpoint. If you're if that,

280
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: if you're asking, is DAK and CD and Micah willing

281
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: to be all in and kind of take a little

282
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: bit less to share. No, No, that that that doesn't happen,

283
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: not not with the second contract for for Micah and

284
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: CD and and and nor should it in Dak this

285
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: is third country. But this still he's still in the

286
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: prime of his career where he can get you know,

287
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: the biggest contract that he's ever had too. So those

288
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: three guys, No, it's setting the market for them is

289
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: way more important than it is to you know, sharing

290
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: the play. You just don't see that very often, Tom Brady,

291
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: I think, did it. You don't see a lot of

292
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: other people that really do that. All right, let's go

293
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: to Brian in Kansas City.

294
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 7: Good afternoon, sir.

295
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:46,760

Speaker 1: he's doing he's doing fine.

Speaker 7: So doctor Sunshine is he's from Florida right now?

306
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: No, he's just because he's always smiling, He's not from Florida.

307
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 7: I thought he was in Florida when he called.

308
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: Forth. Okay, yeah, fort Worth needs some sunshine too. Absolutely,

310
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: Well?

311
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 7: So I wanted to ask a couple of you know,

312
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 7: also kind of in conjunction with the cap going up,

313
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 7: speaking a couple of questions about different roster scenarios, and

314
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 7: then of course I got a I got an old

315
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 7: time Cowboys.

316
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: For you, all right?

317
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 7: So uh so one, my guess my first question is,

318
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 7: you know, there was a little bit of a debate

319
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 7: before this happened, before it went up way more than expected. Uh,

320
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 7: there was a little bit of a debate. Is you know,

321
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 7: because McCarthy not a one year deal, would they view

322
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 7: would they think about keeping dak to just this year

323
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 7: and saying, let's just play it out, see how you do.

324
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 7: And I, you know, I didn't think it was realistic before.

325
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 7: Now maybe from a financial point, you know, I was like,

326
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 7: he's an awful good quarterback. You know, we remember the

327
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 7: Quincy Carter, you know, we remember eras without without a quarter,

328
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 7: without a starting quarterback and kind of cringe. So but

329
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 7: I just didn't think it was financially possible. They just

330
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 7: didn't think they could do it. Now they could, So

331
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 7: I'm curious. And the other person is do you think

332
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 7: they'll move on from Galvin? I kind of want to

333
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 7: know what would you do? And then what do you

334
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 7: think the cowboys are going to do. And then my

335
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 7: old time cowboy is Montrey Holland. So he played just

336
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 7: a couple of years as a backup until twenty ten.

337
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 7: He had had a little bit of a run as

338
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 7: a starter that year. And anyway, just anything you had

339
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 7: on him, man, and I'll hang up and listen. Have

340
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 7: a great day.

341
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: Thanks, thanks for the call, Brian, Chris knows why I'm laughing. Yeah,

342
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Mantre Holland. Man, he's one of my favorites. I can't

343
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: even say it with a straight face. Yeah, we got

344
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: we got a song about him that we would sing.

345
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: But uh no, I mean he's a good dude. I

346
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: mean he was a really good guy. I think I

347
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: told this story one time on the show that I

348
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: accidentally sent a text message to him. I had a

349
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: picture of my daughter at a Disney event and that

350
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: she had all kinds of Disney stuff on frozen, all

351
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: this stuff, and I sent a picture. I was supposed

352
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: to send it to my mom, but it got sent

353
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: to Montre Holland. I don't know if he ever never

354
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: responded to it. I don't know if he liked it

355
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: or not. I just thought that was weird, I mean,

356
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: very opposite. I think of my mom. But yeah, a

357
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: good guy. He knows how to party for sure, and

358
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: that don't know that firsthand. That's just part of the song.

359
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it at that. That's not that's not

360
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: even the guy. That's not even the right guy. I

361
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: don't know, Chris, while you're throwing that in there, I

362
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: don't think I was talking about it. But yeah, basically,

363
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: what I'll say is is that there was a sports writer.

364
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: One time we were sitting I'm gonna I'm gonna tell

365
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: the whole song, but we were sitting there at training

366
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: camp and it was going it was the song by

367
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: Tupac California Knows how to Party and somebody, somebody next

368
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: to me changed the lyrics to Montre Holland because he

369
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: just got named the starter. So Montrey Holland is now

370
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: the starter and he keeps on blocking. I'm just gonna

371
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: leave it at that, all right. Michael Gallup, will Michael Gallup?

372
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: What will I do? What would I do? This was tough,

373
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know I am about Michael Gallup. I

374
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with with with him being there.

375
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: I think he makes plays when when he's when it's time.

376
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: He doesn't make enough though to warrant the contract. So

377
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make a move, you've got to make

378
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: him a post June one cut. You don't have to

379
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: cut him on June one, but you don't get the

380
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: money that you save until then. But it splits up,

381
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: it splits up the the contract a little bit. So

382
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: so basically with with that, you know, I think that

383
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: that gallup. I think you save about six million if

384
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: you if you make him a post June one cut,

385
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: and that probably makes more sense because if you don't,

386
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna you're gonna save like one hundred dollars or something.

387
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like very very even. And you know,

388
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: for him to be the fourth receiver, but it doesn't

389
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: play special teams. If they feel like Tolbert's gonna just

390
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: take onto that, that's fine. I kind of like that

391
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: better because I don't think I want Tolbert on special teams.

392
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, let's let's be honest. He's a receiver,

393
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: because when he was out there, they throw two fakes

394
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: at him. I mean, that's not really his thing. So

395
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: he can focus on just being a receiver probably makes

396
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: more sense. That's what I think I would do I

397
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: have to make him a post June one cut if

398
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: they decide to do that. But you know, he's gonna

399
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: be good for somebody. I mean, maybe not at that price,

400
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: but you know, he runs good routes. He makes some

401
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: catches I'm talking about Gallup, makes some some contested catches,

402
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: you make, sideline plays, doesn't cause any issues in the

403
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: locker room. He just kind of does his thing, and

404
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: he'd be a good third or fourth receiver for somebody,

405
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 1: probably just not here. All right, let's go to uh

406
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: actually the lines are open right now, both lines open,

407
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: so uh, let's let's let's make this happen. But the

408
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: first question that that Brian was talking about was Dak

409
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I still think they're going to They're

410
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: going to do enough, you know, to make a move

411
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: with his contract to save some money on this cap.

412
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that they'll be in for you know,

413
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: three to four more years, but I think they're gonna

414
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: they're gonna figure out a way to keep him for

415
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: the next you know, next couple of years for sure,

416
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: and also at a price that you know they're gonna

417
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be competitive. I mean this they

418
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: got one. The head coach here has one year left

419
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: on his deal. I mean, he's gonna be competitive. This

420
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be one where let's just wait it out

421
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: and then have more money after. They're gonna try to win.

422
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: And Jerry said they're gonna go all in. I don't

423
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: know what all end means to Jerry, you know, but

424
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: but I do think that they're gonna try to make

425
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: a play. You know, we'll see if they act differently

426
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: in free agency this year. All right, let's go to actually,

427
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: before we get to the next call, I do want

428
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: to read this text message. This is from Mike and Boston.

429
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: As a media member, does it ever frustrate the hell

430
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: out of you when a person like Jimmy Johnson makes

431
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: the joke about being on Jerry Jones advisory board. He

432
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: was literally laughing as he said it, and it was

433
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: led led to the news of most of the national media,

434
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: and of course they were bad mouth and Jerry saying

435
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: that he's so desperate he needs Jimmy Johnson's advice after

436
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: all these years, just as to drive you nuts that

437
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: stories are covered accurately, probably inaccurately, is what he's saying.

438
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: That's part of the game. I mean, that's that's what happens.

439
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: You know.

440
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: You got to remember everyone's got an agenda, you know, Jimmy,

441
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jimmy said I didn't. I think

442
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: it was more tongue in cheek a little bit. I

443
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he said anything about I didn't hear

444
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: the part about advisory board. I just think he said there.

445
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's in the fold and with them

446
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: and they're good and they discuss things and and all that,

447
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: and I think all that's fine. You know, let's be

448
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: honest about it. I mean, Jimmy was the head coach

449
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: of the team and Jerry was the owner and general manager,

450
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: and they won two Super Bowls and and they couldn't

451
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: figure it out. So I mean, I don't think he's

452
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: going to be That was when he was the actual

453
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: head coach. So I don't you know, maybe Jerry should

454
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: have been leaning on Jimmy a little bit more, or

455
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy on either way. I mean, I don't even know

456
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: all that went.

457
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 6: Now.

458
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: My point is is that I don't think this is

459
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: one where he's on speed dial and he's asking Jimmy

460
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: for advice. I don't think that's that's the case. I

461
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: just think they're they're in good they're in a good situation,

462
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: better than they've ever been evident by him being in

463
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: the Ring of Honor? Does it bother me when this

464
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: other I mean, all these other stuffing, that's that's that's

465
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: part of it. I mean, things get spun all the

466
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: time for headlines. I mean, how many times have you

467
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: clicked on a story where it says something, you know,

468
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: cowboys sign this running back, you know, and you're you're

469
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: clicking on it, and you're like, who, you know, who

470
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: are they getting?

471
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 4: You know?

472
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: And it's it's some you know, third year guy whatever

473
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: to an exclusive rights deal, and it's part of it.

474
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: It's part of the deal, and everyone it happens all

475
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: the time. This one doesn't really doesn't really bother me.

476
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Jeff in North Carolina.

477
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 6: What's going on?

478
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: Hey man, how are you doing?

479
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 8: I'm doing pretty good.

480
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 7: How about youself?

481
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: Great? Great?

482
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 8: I listened to you yesterday on Talking Cowboys, was asking

483
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 8: what what do you think would be a risk a

484
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 8: risky thing that they would do? And I thought that

485
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 8: if they if instead of extending DAK and they re

486
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 8: restructure him and push more turn you know, convert his

487
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 8: fallery into Simon bows and push it in the next year.

488
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 8: I think that could be risky because you know, I've

489
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 8: heard Brian Brought to say, you know, if Dak becomes

490
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 8: a free agent next year, whether it be from restructure

491
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 8: or or they just let his contract stay, where he

492
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 8: thinks Dak will be gone. He thinks, you know that

493
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 8: Dak will we'll leave, and that could be really you know,

494
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 8: I could I thought, well, that might could be risky,

495
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 8: you know, you know, Okay, but it's gonna see what

496
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 8: you thought about that. And also I was going, if

497
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 8: you have story on the late great Golden Richards, I

498
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 8: see where he died over the weekend, and uh and uh,

499
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 8: I will hang up and let.

500
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 9: You let you talk about that.

501
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 4: Man.

502
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: Good talking to you, Jeff, good stuff as always. You know,

503
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: it's anything you do when you when you're talking about

504
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: fifty nine, sixty million, seventy million, whatever, I mean, even

505
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: if they cut it to a Measley forty million, you know,

506
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's risky. I mean, it's risky at

507
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: any any spot here. So yeah, I you know, I

508
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: still think, you know, for every rock party that that's

509
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: a success story. Think about how many seventh round picks

510
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have drafted, or any team is drafted that

511
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: you would want to play for you, or any undrafted

512
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: free agent or whatever. You know, I mean Brock Party,

513
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, I mean even Tony Romo. It took three

514
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: or four years, you know. So it's risky if you

515
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: don't go that route. You can say that, just say

516
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with a cheap quarterback and we'll win,

517
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: and it doesn't really work. It doesn't. It doesn't work

518
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: that way, you know. And the forty nine ers had

519
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: a loaded roster around him. And I'm not saying he's

520
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: a he's not worthy. He's a really good quarterback. I

521
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: mean he's really good Rock Party. I think he's outstanding.

522
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: My point is that there's risk anywhere you go. If

523
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: you say I'm not paying Dak fifty nine million, We're

524
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: gonna go get someone cheaper. Good luck, good Luck. We've

525
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: seen that. We've seen that happen, you know. They we've

526
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: seen the Cowboys move on from Troy and we saw

527
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: that good Luck. So there's risk anywhere you slice him.

528
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: Golden Richards, Yes, he did pass away this Weekend. You know,

529
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: he obviously played before I was, you know, really before

530
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: I was more. I mean maybe when I was one

531
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: or two he was playing. But I think seventy eight

532
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: was his last year. You know, I honestly was surprised

533
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: at one time when I looked at his stats and

534
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: realized that they weren't like that great. I thought he

535
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: was like a like superstar. I really did, because he

536
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: made big plays. He's one of those guys that had

537
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: some clutch catches touchdowns. Of course, he called one in

538
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, So I kinda I kind of always

539
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: thought growing up that he was one of the legend

540
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: type guys. But but he was, you know, he was

541
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: more of a role player. But but he had some

542
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: great plays and and you know, I mean, as you know,

543
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: he had the name and his hair and all that.

544
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: The thing, the thing for me that I knew more

545
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: about him is because in nineteen eighty three, they had

546
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: another receiver, number eighty three named Doug Donnelly who also

547
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: had long blonde hair, and he was a receiver and

548
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: it was flowing out the back of his helmet and

549
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: all that, just like he was like the next Golden Richards.

550
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: Well it turned out he wasn't you know, it wasn't

551
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: that great. He didn't play for that long. But that's

552
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: kind of what I knew of Golden Richards was more

553
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: about what I had heard and saw from from Doug Donnelly.

554
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: But still, you know, you know, just another sad loss

555
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys nation and for you know, a great

556
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: player like Golden Richards. Right, let's move to Daniel. He's

557
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: in Greensboro, North Carolina. Daniel, you're with us? What's up?

558
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: Man?

559
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 9: Yes, Hey, I have a comment and when I want you,

560
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 9: you know, I kind of want to get your thoughts

561
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 9: on it. But I'm a I'm a huge, huge Dack fan,

562
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 9: huge Cowboys fan, and I do believe that, you know,

563
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 9: we should do what we have to do to extend him.

564
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 9: Hopefully he tastes you know, maybe a little haircut or whatever,

565
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 9: but you know, getting him a stand of so that

566
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 9: we can lower the captain number. But I think the

567
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 9: the biggest elephant in the room that the Cowboys need

568
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 9: to get back to is the offensive line. That is

569
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 9: the one position group that can affect the entire team.

570
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 9: There there there are no other top tier quarterbacks that

571
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 9: are asked to do more to me than Dak when

572
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 9: it comes to having to deal with a team that's

573
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 9: the most penalized, that that can't stop the run, that

574
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 9: can't run the ball, whenever it's needed, you know, he

575
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 9: he has to deal with that. Whenever Patch Maholme doesn't

576
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 9: have to deal with that, Whenever Jackson doesn't have to

577
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 9: deal with that, whenever these top line quarterbacks doesn't, you know,

578
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 9: never has to deal with all these things happening at

579
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 9: once in the playoffs, over and over. Now he has

580
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 9: to play better, of course, But you know, but fishing

581
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 9: fishing our offensive line at center, and I believe that

582
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 9: left tackle. I know, Tyron Smith is gonna be cheap,

583
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 9: but I need somebody that can maul people, that can

584
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 9: they can get downhill, and they can run the football,

585
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 9: that helps our run.

586
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: The game.

587
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 9: Is gonna be cheap, cheaper, cheaper than then on the

588
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 9: starting left tackles.

589
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, other than other than starting left tackles

590
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: right right, other than yeah right, yes, but yes, but

591
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: not cheap. But but yeah, I mean, you're right, he

592
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: gets he gets probably will get a discount considering that

593
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: he was a second team All Pro, But I don't

594
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: think it'll be that cheap, you know.

595
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 9: Right, right, But at the same time, you know, we

596
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 9: all know that.

597
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 6: You know, we had a lot.

598
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 9: Of all pros this year based on the numbers, But

599
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 9: to me, some of that had something that had something

600
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 9: to do with the star and not helping as well,

601
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 9: because for instance, yes, Darron Bland for instance with all pro,

602
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 9: but he also gave up a lot as well, and

603
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 9: so he had an up and down here as well.

604
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 9: But that's that's not the point of of my call.

605
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 9: My call is I think we should double dip if

606
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 9: we have to in the drafted offensive line fits fits

607
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 9: the middle of our defense. But help our quarterback out.

608
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 9: He can't carry all all the nonsense that happens with

609
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 9: all the penalties and can't stop the run, and and

610
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 9: you know, to me, no other quarterback has to deal

611
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 9: with all of that mess on top of and I

612
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 9: love Jerry Jones, but on top of all of the

613
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 9: sudden that comes with that. You know, no other quarterback

614
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 9: has to deal with that. And if you fish the

615
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 9: offensive line, you can help the rest of the team,

616
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 9: and you can create start start back to start, starting, back,

617
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 9: to get in identity and creating a culture in the

618
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 9: locker room. Whatever you fissed off of the line. To me,

619
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 9: that's the biggest need. And I don't care if we

620
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 9: have to double dip or go all in in our

621
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 9: front seven on both sides of the ball. You know,

622
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 9: we have to do something with that.

623
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: Daniel your first time caller, first time caller.

624
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 9: But I've been listening to you all the way back

625
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 9: to Cowboys break and before, so this is the first

626
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 9: time I heard that I've been able to get through.

627
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: All right, there we go. Well, we appreciate it for sure.

628
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Good stuff, good insight as well.

629
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: I you know, I I'm agreeing with you and I

630
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: disagree at the same time. In on one level, Yes,

631
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: Dak has to put up with a lot and it's

632
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: not just on the field stuff. It's it's but it's

633
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: part of it when you're the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Yes,

634
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: there's penalty issues, lack of running game, defense had some

635
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: holes at times as well. But but like you said,

636
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: Dak has to play better. You know, I don't know

637
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: what I disagree with is. I don't know if other

638
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't have to deal with that either. I mean,

639
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to me, is just on another level he's

640
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: not even worth He's not even worth talking about in

641
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, comparing anything. You know, he would

642
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: like Dak's receivers over his. You know, I think he

643
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: would trade everything. If you said i'll take, I'll trade everything.

644
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, you get the Chiefs receivers and they're tight end,

645
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys receivers in there tight end. That's a

646
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: tough one now with Kelsey involved. You know, Now, the

647
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs pr would take Kelsey because I think he's driving

648
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: a lot more ratings for some reason. But I think

649
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: that from receiver tight end, you know. I mean, DA's

650
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: got it pretty good, you know. So so I don't

651
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: know if I would agree with that that other quarterbacks

652
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with stuff. They all have to

653
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: deal with stuff. But but for the most part, I

654
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: agree with your premise. Get get better guys around him

655
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: and clean up some of the mess, clean up some

656
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: of the penalties, clean up some of that, you know,

657
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: give him a running game. That's really what it comes

658
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: down to. Give him a running game, which, like you said,

659
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: starts with the offensive line, and I'm fine with that too.

660
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: I'd be okay if they drafted offensive line once again,

661
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, if they drafted an alignment in the first

662
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: or second round for three or four or five years

663
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: in a row, that would be fine with me, you know,

664
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: because then you're you continue to have really good players

665
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: up front. And if you have good players up front

666
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: and you get you know, get the pressure off your quarterback,

667
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: then you can do some good things. So I'm totally

668
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: fine with that. All right, we got Robin Vegas.

669
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 9: Let's say, Nick, hey, Rob.

670
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 10: You know the last call that that's kind of one

671
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 10: of the reasons why I don't want to pay back

672
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 10: sixty million a year because you just rattled off, he

673
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 10: needs this, he needs help.

674
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I thought about that when when I was

675
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: saying that too, I was just like, that's that's the

676
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: double ed sword here on this. It's yeah, yeah.

677
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 10: We talked about it's a bad investment. There's only one

678
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 10: right now, and that's Mahomes. Everybody else is getting overpaid

679
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 10: and not producing, and it's just the way it is.

680
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 10: But you know, I keep hearing people talk about, well,

681
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 10: if we don't extend, if we don't do anything with

682
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 10: Dak this year and he goes out and he wins

683
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 10: the Super Bowl, he made leave, are you kidding me?

684
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 10: This guy has been putting up with the media for

685
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 10: his whole career, and now you're telling me when he

686
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 10: does something that hasn't been done in twenty nine years

687
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 10: or so, he's not going to stay and let everybody

688
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 10: kiss his butt. And I mean, of course he's going

689
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 10: to enjoy it all, never lead. Even if he gets

690
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 10: to the NFC Championship Game and god forbid we lose,

691
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 10: he would have done something that hasn't been done. So

692
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 10: I'm not going anywhere other than if he doesn't produce.

693
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: If Dak wins the Super Bowl, Jerry Jones is going

694
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: to give him three things. Number one a hug, number

695
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: two a check, and number three a pin. Okay, and

696
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: he can fill out that. If he wins a Super Bowl, he.

697
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 10: Can run from mayor right. Yeah, that's why, you know,

698
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 10: I don't know why anybody would say that.

699
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 9: Oh wait, he would leave.

700
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 10: There would be no way in the world. Yeah, but

701
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 10: the only the only listen I know that you said

702
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 10: the cap went up thirty million. That's got to help somehow.

703
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: It does help. It helps you do some things, but

704
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: I just don't think it makes you now competitive to

705
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: go outbid people because everyone gets thirty million and they're

706
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: in a better situation than you are.

707
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 10: Correct, And let's be honest, Jerry Jones is not going

708
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 10: to do that.

709
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: He's going to spin it.

710
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 10: We got gigs and over shown coming back, so and

711
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 10: they pretty much well overshow didn't play at all. Dick's

712
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 10: played a couple of games, so that's gonna help.

713
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 6: And he's right.

714
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 10: If those guys come back and they all right, it

715
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 10: needs the good, they're gonna help. So he's gonna spin

716
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 10: it like that. They'll go get a linebacker like maybe

717
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 10: a Bobby Wagner or somebody. But they're not gonna spend

718
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 10: twenty million a year on a guy, and they'll get

719
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 10: somebody in the middle of the defensive line. No that

720
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 10: they're probably not going to get Chris Jones, but go

721
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 10: get somebody. And that's how he'll spin it. And if

722
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 10: he's gonna do it like that, I'm okay with that

723
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 10: as long as he leaves back alone, leave the contract's

724
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 10: ride it out, ride it out, and let's see what

725
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 10: what happens. Michael Gallup, I mean, it's pretty much a

726
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 10: foregone clip inclusion. He's gonna be gone. And I like him.

727
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 10: He says, like a cool dude, but like you said,

728
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 10: he's just not He doesn't justify the money.

729
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: Like when they drafted another third rounder in Jalen Tolbert

730
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: from his relatively small school like they did with Gallup.

731
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: No offense to Colorado will stay. It's not not Power five,

732
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: but it's not small school. But still they draft a

733
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: third receiver. It's kind of, you know, Tolbert kind of

734
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: taken over as the next Galop.

735
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 10: They're kind of the same player. They're kind of the

736
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 10: same player right now. Maybe Tolbert he's even more on

737
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 10: an upswing, which is nice. Yeah, I mean, I just

738
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 10: don't see them. They're not Fanny fans. I think they're

739
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 10: gonna go out and just you know, go go pay

740
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 10: sake one Barkley twelve million dollars. That ain't happening. That

741
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 10: ain't happening. They'll go maybe four or five million for

742
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 10: a running back, or they'll draft one, which I'm okay,

743
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 10: because running backs I hate to say it. They used

744
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 10: to be the you know, dominant position. Emmit Smith was

745
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 10: my favorite player, but they're not anymore. You get him

746
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 10: out of you know, you're gonna run him for five

747
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 10: years and then you're gonna move on. So but no,

748
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 10: I that ain't going nowhere. I hope he wins the

749
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 10: Super Bowl, and I hope they make a mayor president.

750
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 10: I don't care let him, you know, but no, he's

751
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 10: not leaving if he if he's successful.

752
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks for the call, robb As always appreciate that.

753
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: Chris had a good question. If he was the mayor,

754
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Risco, Arlington, Dallas, uh, you know, anywhere. You know,

755
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: I might just want to be the governor. Who knows. Sorry,

756
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get political again. I just he

757
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: could do whatever he wants if he wins the super Bowl,

758
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: and I think everyone would be fine with that. I

759
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: do disagree with one thing though, that you said, Bruce. Sorry,

760
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: Bruce is next. But to Rob, I disagree a little bit.

761
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys might actually get one of those

762
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: running backs. I could see that happening. You know, there's

763
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: four or five out there, really about three. I wouldn't

764
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: be surprised if the Cowboys go and do a move

765
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: like that. I'm not saying that they're all in move,

766
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: but I think it's it's a move that would be

767
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: a little different than what we've seen before, a little

768
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: risky because there many running backs or you know, they're

769
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: always risky at this point. I mean, Dalvin Cook was

770
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league like two years ago,

771
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: and then he's didn't they didn't have a team. You know,

772
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: he's kind of bouncing around a little bit, so the

773
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: drop off can be quick. But I wouldn't be surprised

774
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys spent considerable money for one of those backs.

775
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: Remember I mean last year. I mean they did the

776
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: franchise tag for Pollard, so there were ten. If it's

777
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: up there in the eleven to twelve range and for

778
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: somebody who thinks better, I could see them doing that.

779
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: So that's one thing I wouldn't be surprised if the

780
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys made a move like that. All right, let's go

781
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: to Bruce and Houston. Hey Bruce, been a minute.

782
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, I didn't listen to Rob. I got in my ear,

783
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 11: so I need to listen to your response. I hope

784
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 11: you won't disagree with me.

785
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: But no, he said. He said that he didn't think

786
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: they would go get a Barkley or Josh Jacobs or

787
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and spend twelve million or something like that.

788
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: He didn't think the Jerry's going to do that. In

789
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: this case, I wouldn't be surprised if they do. I mean,

790
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: they actually might. That might be the type of move

791
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: that they think could kind of help them. It wouldn't

792
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: surprise me if that happened.

793
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 11: Well, let me ask you before I do my back deal.

794
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 11: How close do you think they were making a trade

795
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 11: for Tennessee for Henry? Not really?

796
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: No, Actually I was told that they never called. Tennessee

797
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: never called, and the Cowboys never called, and it never

798
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: even came up. And I think I think the Titans,

799
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: remember now, nobody traded for him that everyone thought it

800
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: was going to happen. I think the Titans throughout of

801
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: compensation figures and draft picks and stuff so high that

802
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, everybody has its price, so it's like, oh,

803
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: they might trade Derrick Henry, and I'm sure they were

804
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: like yeah for three number ones and and you know

805
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: or whatever and there wahaa. So I think I think

806
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee squashed all of that, right, and it.

807
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 11: Makes sense, and you can't blame them, you know, ask

808
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 11: for the moon, right and see what happens. But yeah,

809
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 11: nobody's going to give that to a thirty plus year

810
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 11: old running back up.

811
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: Remember this, they loved their coach Rabel They I mean

812
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: they did. They did part ways with him, but they

813
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: wanted him to be successful. They wanted it to work.

814
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: He's a likable guy. You know, he's fire, he's tough,

815
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of got that Dan Campbell type. He was

816
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: a player. They wanted him to have success. So if

817
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: you really want it to work out, you're not going

818
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: to trade your best player, you know, and so, and

819
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: then you're not going to win games, and then you're

820
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: going to fire him and then somebody else gets to

821
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: win all that. I mean, so you know, it didn't

822
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: seem to make a lot of sense, even though media

823
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: was thrown it out there that he was all but gone,

824
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: but it didn't really work out like that.

825
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, and I get that. I think you know,

826
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 11: all chips in as we've been saying, look, would you

827
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 11: would you What do you think the betting nods that

828
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 11: McCarthy has extended after this year fifty percent are are

829
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 11: even lower? I don't know, I'm just asking, but what

830
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 11: are the.

831
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: Odds that they win the Super Bowl or go to

832
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game?

833
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 11: But you know, if that happens, and that's I think

834
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 11: if if Dallas would have This year was the perfect scenario,

835
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 11: being the number two seeds and they you know, poo

836
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 11: pooed their way in there. But if they'd at least

837
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 11: gotten to the championship game and say they lost, I

838
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 11: guess depends on how they lost. He threw three picks

839
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 11: for two for pick six, and yeah, you still be

840
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 11: mad at Dak, But if at least they got there,

841
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 11: I've been okay extending McCarthy and you still may be

842
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 11: in the same boat with the new defensive coordinator, which

843
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 11: I think they've gotten better. Quinn was more about getting

844
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 11: to the qb instead of stopping the running back. I

845
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 11: think we're going to see right the opposite with Zimbra.

846
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 11: There's got the run and then you still.

847
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 6: Get to the quarterback.

848
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 11: But that'll be, you know, depending on when we seed.

849
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 11: But with Dak, I've been watching him since he come

850
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 11: from Mississippi, you know, state so and great great fan is,

851
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 11: but you just can't he's not worth forty million, I'm sorry,

852
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 11: and Dallas seems to do that a lot. Hey, good

853
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 11: players great what great players get paid? And instead of vice.

854
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Versa hold on real quick words, Lena ask you this, Well,

855
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: let's do it in a different way. Is he is he?

856
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: Is he among the top ten quarterbacks in the league

857
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: in your opinion? Top ten?

858
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, I would say top okay, not top.

859
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: Five, not top five, that's fine, top ten. So that

860
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: being said, then I wouldn't get caught up in he's

861
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: not worth this and not worth that. I mean, you

862
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: and me, like we all, we can say that about anybody,

863
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 1: right So but my point, my point is is that

864
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: does he does? He don't ask is he worth this much? Say?

865
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: Is he worth fair to be fairly compensated? Is he

866
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: should he be?

867
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: You know?

868
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: And I think he is? And it's just a cycle.

869
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: He was number two is paid quarterback for about a

870
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: week and then before you know it, he's fifteenth or

871
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, like these quarterbacks, they just keep they just

872
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: keep doing that. So it's his rick.

873
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, but here's another question. Someone said some stature today.

874
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 11: He's he's still up there on the most aide quarterback

875
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 11: even more than Kirk Dozens. You know how many times

876
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 11: he got franchised. My question is, look, I don't care

877
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 11: if they make a hundred million. It ain't my money.

878
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 11: It's serious money. But but my point is is you

879
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 11: just can't you can't best even more long term with

880
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 11: what this team needs defensively to a guy that plays

881
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 11: great in the regular season and only against mediocre SOL teams.

882
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 11: Because of all the teams that were good that made

883
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 11: the playoffs last year, we didn't win one of them,

884
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 11: except for maybe Philadelphia, maybe the Rams. You could include

885
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 11: them in there.

886
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 4: But you know what I'm saying, that's not get it.

887
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: I get it. It's it's a tough one. It's a

888
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: tough one because and Bruce, thanks for the call. Do

889
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: you have anything else you will?

890
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 6: No, just have a good day.

891
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 11: I like that. I know the work, I really do.

892
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 6: But but at some point you got to either No.

893
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 11: I know I would hopefully if they go all in,

894
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 11: if they can adjust his contract to where because if

895
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 11: they blow it again this year, well then Jerry's gonna

896
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 11: I don't care if he's ninety two, he's gonna have

897
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 11: to blow it up and start over with a new coach.

898
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 11: He's gonna want a new quarterback.

899
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 6: And't blame him for.

900
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: That, all right, Thanks for I mean, like, there's so

901
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: many fans that that probably have that same mentality right there,

902
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: as as in, Bruce, you know the same thing, or

903
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: like you really like that, and you respect him and

904
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: you want him to do well. You just wanted him

905
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: to play, you know, play better, especially at those times

906
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But he said something interesting of with

907
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: all the help we need on defense, how do you

908
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: do this? And that's kind of the point. That's why

909
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: they will do something with it, because they do need

910
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: all this help, and the best way to get more

911
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: help is to work with him in his contract, and

912
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: not only him, but CD and Micah. If they can

913
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: get all three of these guys done, they actually can

914
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: save a lot more money. It sounds like there's not

915
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna be any any pie left, you know, for anyone else,

916
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: but in reality, there'll be even more because of the

917
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: way they structure these deals and they can do some

918
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: things right now now With Micah, I think definitely. With

919
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: CD Micah, I'm still I'm still not to the point

920
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: where you know, I'd be fine with him long term.

921
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a great player. I know that he

922
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: has people have some concerns there, but I think, you know,

923
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: these are the type of guys that you know you

924
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: can still win with and you're gonna win with for

925
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: a long time. Doc's a little bit different, but I

926
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: still think all three of them can help you be

927
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: more competitive and being that all in stage by getting

928
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 1: deals done with them. All right, let's go to Arthur.

929
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: Is he still on the line Arthur in Spring Texas?

930
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 3: Ye? Yes, sir, I am here.

931
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 6: How are you doing good?

932
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: How are you?

933
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 3: I'm doing okay? You know, I grew up playing football.

934
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 3: I mean I played in a high level position, played

935
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: just about every position on the defense. Started off at

936
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: offensive guard and then went to knows guard and ended

937
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: up at cornnebacker.

938
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: No, I was going to say, all right, what do

939
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: you think? What do you think?

940
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: Arthur?

941
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 3: Okay? At first I was kind of wondering about that

942
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 3: in this whole contract situation, I really think that that

943
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 3: wants to be here for the remainder of his career.

944
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 3: Now that being said, that compromise was going to have

945
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 3: to be made, not only on the Cowboys, but but

946
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 3: definitely on that phone. I used to think that I

947
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 3: really understood football, But after watching the podcast and listening

948
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 3: to different shows, I realized that, man, the whole game

949
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 3: has jumped right you from away from me. And there's

950
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 3: aspects about aspects about contracts I don't understand. I don't

951
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 3: even understand contracts and free agency at all, but to

952
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 3: keep from getting front off in another direction, I thought,

953
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: I put you a text the other day and I

954
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 3: add that if that leads, what team do you think

955
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 3: he could go to and have an immediate impact on

956
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 3: that team where he's playing good enough to get them

957
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: to the super Bowl? And I kind of answered my

958
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 3: own question after I sent it, and I don't think

959
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 3: there's any other team out did because all of the

960
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 3: teams who had good quarterbacks were in the they advanced

961
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 3: into in the playoffs. Yeah, so you know, I kind of,

962
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 3: like I said, I kind of answered my own question

963
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 3: with that. But I'm just I'm and everybody is already addressed.

964
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 3: I need. We know we need a linebacker. We know

965
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 3: we need to sure uh the offensive line. We know

966
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 3: we have to do something about the D line. As

967
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 3: far as controlling the rum, I just don't know or

968
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 3: feel a way that they can get a few quality

969
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 3: players to plug into these positions. Uh, Tony coll I

970
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 3: don't think when there was talk about about picking up Barkley,

971
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 3: I can't see where Barkley makes a difference in comparison

972
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 3: to Tony Powell. I really feel as though that Tony Power

973
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 3: got put in a no win situation last year.

974
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 10: I don't know.

975
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't know about that one.

976
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 2: Arthur.

977
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: See a different player, I see a different player. I

978
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: see a different player, I do. I see a different player,

979
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: see a different body type I see. I see a

980
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: little bit more of a three down running back. I

981
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: know he's been banged up. He didn't play seventeen games

982
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: like Tony Poler did. I think you got to give

983
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: credit to Tony Pollard for his body size to play

984
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: that many games and to be as durable as he's been.

985
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 1: I do give Tony credit from there. But I see

986
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: a different I see a different back.

987
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 3: Honestly, so well, that's really all that I had. I

988
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 3: didn't really have a question per se. It was just

989
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 3: the well, I appreciate it.

990
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Arthur, and I actually i'll speak

991
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: to something that that you said. I'll still I know

992
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 1: you're not on the line, but I'll say this to you.

993
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: Don't sell yourself short on not knowing the game like

994
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: you used to or whatever. Football, yes, it evolves, but

995
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: it also evolves in a cycle. There's going to be

996
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: a time where where you know you'll see a lot

997
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: more running we're kind of seeing a little bit of

998
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: it now. Teams, you still need to run the football.

999
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: It hasn't changed for when you played it, really. I mean,

1000
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: if you got the biggest guys up front and you

1001
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: can push people around, you can still win football games.

1002
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: It's the same when you played in high school. It's

1003
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: the same. Now. Those six A teams in high school

1004
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: can beat any two A, three eighteen. Probably there is

1005
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: because they just got bigger guys. Has it changed that much. Yes,

1006
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: it's evolved and it's going to continue. It'll be a

1007
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: cycle thing, like I said, But you know, you understood

1008
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: the game when you played it. You still understand it now.

1009
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: It's changed a little bit. Not knowing the money and

1010
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: the salary cap. I mean, I'm you know, I've been

1011
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: covering this team for twenty six years. I barely have

1012
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: a decent grasp about the salary cap. I understand how

1013
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: it works. Then it's really no different. I mean, it's

1014
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: you give everyone the same amount of money, you know,

1015
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: and now you give everyone the same It's just just

1016
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: like painting a picture. Everyone has a canvas, everyone has

1017
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: the same brush, and everyone has the same paints. But

1018
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: it's still going to look different for how how they

1019
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 1: do it and how but you know, so you're giving

1020
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: everyone the same type of materials. It's just how do

1021
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: they you know, do they what do they do with

1022
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: it when it's here? And so some teams are a

1023
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: lot more creative than the others. And I think the

1024
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys have done a really good job with their salary cap.

1025
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: But they also have great players. When you have nine

1026
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers, ten Pro Bowlers or whatever they ended up having,

1027
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to pay those guys. So it's

1028
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,959
Speaker 1: not it's not easy. I means you have to draft well,

1029
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: and they've done a pretty good job of that too.

1030
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 9: All right, Erwin and Denver, Hey Nick, what's going on?

1031
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: Hey Erin? How you doing?

1032
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 4: I'm doing great, little snowy up here today. But so

1033
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 4: what Anyway, I just wanted to make a couple of comments,

1034
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 4: and if you know, people can kind of think back

1035
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 4: about the Cowboys, the history of the Cowboys. What was

1036
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 4: a couple of things was always really good about the

1037
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 4: Cowboys was their running games, you know, their offensive line

1038
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 4: and their defensive line.

1039
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 3: And I'm just.

1040
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 4: Kind of really hoping that the Cowboys somehow, some way

1041
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: are able to draft that center from Oregon Saxton Power Johnson,

1042
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 4: Uh possibly, you know, get a running back. I think

1043
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 4: the other run the running back from Oregon.

1044
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 7: So.

1045
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 4: And then just to touch quickly on free agency and

1046
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 4: running back, I like the guy from Oakland, Josh Jacobs,

1047
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 4: you know, and I agree with you. I think I

1048
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 4: was probably going to go somewhere and get one of

1049
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 4: those running backs.

1050
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think they will this year.

1051
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1052
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: And it's a Jerry think about it. It's a Jerry

1053
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: type of move, it really is. It's a it's a

1054
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: it's a you know, getting well known players, you know,

1055
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: and and maybe a little bit after you know that

1056
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: they've done what they what they're going to do, but

1057
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, the running back market is going down, but

1058
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 1: yet they still got some some high profile names. It's

1059
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: just the type of moves I think the Cowboys will

1060
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: will would get would do this year.

1061
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree with that.

1062
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 4: And just to quickly touch bases real quick about Prescott,

1063
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 4: you know, I think he's a really good quarterback. I

1064
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 4: just wish that during the playoffs he would have one

1065
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 4: of those playoff games like he did a couple of

1066
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,479
Speaker 4: years ago against the Buccaneers. But you know what, as

1067
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 4: far as his uh, his uh, you know.

1068
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 3: His contract goes.

1069
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 4: Guess he deserves it because that's what uh, that's what

1070
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 4: it dictates, you know, the price on the players. So yeah,

1071
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 4: the market dictates that. So yeah, anyway, I'll up and

1072
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 4: see what you got to say.

1073
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 1: Thanks her, all right. You know you mentioned that Tampa

1074
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: Bay playoff game. I think that game actually holds a

1075
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: little bit more water than you would think because, if anything,

1076
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: it shows that you can do it, you know, it

1077
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: shows you can do it on a big stage. It

1078
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: was a Monday night football playoff game and he's he's

1079
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: got Tom Brady on the other side, and you know,

1080
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: they went on the road and they went there, and

1081
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: he had one of the greatest games that any quarterbacks

1082
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: ever had in the postseason. I don't I don't know

1083
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: if there's been a I think it's four touchdown pass

1084
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: and a rushing touchdown and seventy five completion or something.

1085
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of little stats involved there, but

1086
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: like nobody's ever done it in the playoffs. So it

1087
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: was one of those type of games and so and

1088
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: it was a big game. You know, I'm not going

1089
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: to sit here and be one of those people that says,

1090
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, only the losses were big games. When you win,

1091
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: it's not it doesn't matter. That was a huge game,

1092
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: and and you know, I think it just at least

1093
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: shows it shows the Cowboys that he can do it.

1094
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: He can do it on a big stage, but he

1095
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: needs some help and he didn't have it in Green Bay.

1096
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: And he didn't play well either, so against Green Bay,

1097
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: so that you know that just it was a poor

1098
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: effort from everybody. But I think the fact that that

1099
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: he has done it two years ago at least sort

1100
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,720
Speaker 1: of should help a little bit from from the Cowboys

1101
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: standpoint of knowing, you know, if they are paying him

1102
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: a lot of money, that you know, their belief that

1103
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: he can still get the job done when it counts.

1104
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: All right, Tony in Atlanta, next caller, probably last year.

1105
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 6: Hey, what's up? Good afternoon man, I'm great. How about yourself?

1106
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: Great?

1107
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 6: Good good, good good. So this is my fourth time

1108
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,479
Speaker 6: calling for the music for that, Yeah, fourth time, nothing

1109
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 6: special for that, but I just keep it counting a while,

1110
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 6: but at any rate, at any rate, So a couple

1111
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 6: of things. One one comment on this whole all the

1112
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 6: in piece, Uh, you know with Clarence E. Hill Jr.

1113
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 6: That gentleman needs to give royalties every time somebody says

1114
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 6: all in, because being the professional journalist that he is,

1115
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 6: he is the one used the term all in, and

1116
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 6: Jerry just took it and ran with it, and now

1117
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 6: it's on fire. So if somebody can get that man

1118
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 6: a royalty every time all in it said, let's get it.

1119
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 6: Let's get that started.

1120
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 3: Man.

1121
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 6: You play poker, uh three three card poker?

1122
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I mean that's the thing. I like this quick.

1123
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's a you know, catchy level term. But

1124
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: let's be honest about it. You go all in, you

1125
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: push your chips to the middle, and it's like, I

1126
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: better get this ace on the river or I'm going

1127
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: home and I and I'm done with my money. I'm done.

1128
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: This is it. I'm all on this hand. Well that's

1129
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: not that's not what this is. This isn't all in, Okay.

1130
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they're gonna have a hand next year.

1131
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: I mean, so you know what I'm saying late, So

1132
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a nice thing to say, but but you know,

1133
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: unless they start trading next year's number ones. I said

1134
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: this on Talking Cowboys. You trade next year's number one,

1135
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: and you start getting into next year to all go

1136
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: in for right now, that's my definition of all in.

1137
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: But just just getting them just you know, drafting someone

1138
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: or making a big trade and all that. I mean,

1139
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,959
Speaker 1: I think it's next year's one. That's that's the type

1140
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: of all in move. It's not just going to get

1141
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: a running back that that that we've all had on

1142
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: our fantasy team at some point. I don't I don't

1143
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: think it's that.

1144
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 6: I agree, I agree, I agree, And you know, like

1145
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 6: you said, I mean, like the Rams did a few

1146
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 6: years ago when they started talking about forget them picks

1147
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 6: and all that type stuff. That's that's kind of closer

1148
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 6: to all in. But I just don't see us doing

1149
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 6: things like that. My other thing, right quick, and this

1150
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 6: is no one's mentioned this, and I hope for this

1151
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 6: foresee this happening. But what's the likelihood you know, we're

1152
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 6: all just talk about extending Dak and extend Dak or

1153
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 6: you know, keep him at fifty nine whatever, what's the

1154
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 6: likelihood of Dak himself? Actually, you know how these guys

1155
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 6: do sometimes where their contract discussions going on, maybe not

1156
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 6: show up at OTA's or maybe not do this or

1157
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 6: not do that. I mean, because I mean his cap

1158
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 6: number fifty nine. His actual take home pay this year,

1159
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 6: you know, hadn't changed much. It's about twenty twenty five

1160
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 6: million or something like that. You know, the cap number

1161
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 6: is just because of what's happening with the last PEP

1162
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 6: pushing everything back. But I just wondered, just for the

1163
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 6: sake of trying to get this contract thing movie, if

1164
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 6: there's any chance he might do something like that, like

1165
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 6: not show up or you know. I mean, I know

1166
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 6: something is a mandatory, but other team that's not. So

1167
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 6: I just wonder what your thoughts.

1168
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a good question. It really is

1169
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: a good question. Thanks. Thanks for the call, Tony. I

1170
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: think take care of you. You know, a lot of

1171
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: guys do that. This is where this is where it

1172
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: gets difficult because Dak is not like a lot of

1173
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: other guys. I would say, you know, never say never,

1174
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: But this ain't happening like that. Dak's not doing that.

1175
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: He's not He's not gonna sit out like that. Now

1176
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: he might do something different. He might you know, not

1177
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: do as many media things or whatever it is. I mean,

1178
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: we've seen certain players do something like that when they're

1179
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: wanting a deal. You know, you don't say yes to

1180
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: everything in the organization that they're asking you. You know,

1181
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: there's a little things like that, but not practice, because

1182
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the day they all seem to

1183
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: come back. It's very very rare that like when you

1184
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: when you have a holdout, you know, it's really not

1185
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: a holdout until you start losing money and losing significant money,

1186
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: not just not just some fine money, but like game

1187
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: check type money. And that's not going to happen. So

1188
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: every player understands, yeah, I can balk a little bit,

1189
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: but what does it help. Does it really help me

1190
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day to get here late

1191
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: and not and and then now everyone's messed up. The

1192
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: whole offense is not not on you know, on track.

1193
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: We're all out of sync because I was trying to

1194
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: make a stand but now I'm back and I'm down.

1195
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: We're trying to play catch up and the season is

1196
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: about to start. That doesn't help anybody, So it doesn't

1197
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: make sense to do that. He might have his opinions

1198
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: about how things are done, but I don't think it

1199
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: will be at OTA and mini camp and those type

1200
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: of things, and even training camp. I don't see that

1201
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: that happening. That's not the type of person that he is.

1202
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: It's not the type of leader that he is. I

1203
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: just I would be very, very surprised if that ever happened.

1204
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they'll figure something out, and I

1205
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: think he'll be you know, in good spirits, you know,

1206
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: because I think that they want to be competitive this year,

1207
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: and the best way to do that is to you know,

1208
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: restructure his contract, get these other two guys with, you know,

1209
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: with some extensions as well, and then they can get

1210
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: into free agency. That doesn't mean all three guys are

1211
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: going to be done, but I think they'll have a

1212
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: plan in place to be able to do that so

1213
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: this year. So it wouldn't surprise me if you get

1214
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: one of them done, Dak, and maybe another player, and

1215
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: then another one maybe in training camp as well, and

1216
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: really really have some money to function all year long

1217
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: as well. All Right, great show, it's been an hour.

1218
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: We've had ten calls, good stuff, had a first time caller,

1219
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: had some of our veterans called so really really good stuff.

1220
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. We will be on next well just
