1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys. This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. What is

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: up everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, January the third. We're just rolling right

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: along here in twenty twenty four, getting the Cowboys ready

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: for their regular season finale against the Washington Commanders. And

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: that'll be Sunday at four twenty five Eastern time, thirty

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: thirty Central. Should be a good one Cowboys and taking

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: on Washington. The Giants and Eagles playing at the exact

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: same time. NFL does that on purpose make sure that

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: everyone plays their their guys. So the Cowboys obviously, if

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: they win, they will be the NFC East champions. Of

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: regard what happens with the Giants game. If the Giants

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: do beat Philadelphia, then the Cowboys will also win, and

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: then both teams tie. If that happens, then both the

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys would win that as well based off of tiebreakers.

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: The only scenario the Cowboys do not win the NFC

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: East is if they lose to Washington and the Eagles

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: beat the Giants. So don't even worry about that. Cowboys

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: got to take care of business against Washington. They have

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: lost seven in a row. Obviously they're going to try

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: to bring it here for this last game. It is

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: a little interesting though scenario with the Commanders have the

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: number two overall pick. I think if they win, based

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: off some other things, they could be the fourth pick.

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: So if they lose, they will be the number two pick.

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: So there's probably some people in the organization that want that.

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 1: Of course, the head coach he's probably not gonna be around,

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: so he didn't really care about that. So interesting, all right,

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys are going to be going up that way,

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: and I think our first two callers are from that

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: way in Virginia. We're gonna get to that. Eight eight

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: eight eight five is the number to call. Let's start

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: us off with Irene in Virginia.

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, good morning.

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Good morning. How are you doing well.

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: I'm excited for this game?

40
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Are you going?

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: I am going. I got the tickets. The Eagles lost,

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: Like getting those tickets.

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: What's the weather forecast?

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: So it's much better than when Okay, so I get

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: the tickets and I look not in the right order,

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: but anyway, it was calling for ten inches of snow,

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: and I was like, we don't even we never do

48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: that anyway. No, it's fine. It's going to be cold.

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: The highest forty four around three o'clock, so it's and

50
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: it's gonna there's gonna be a little bit of wind.

51
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: That's one thing that's concerning me a bit. But no

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: precipitation anymore. So that's helpful.

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: Nice.

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, the wind, we'll see. I have a feeling it's

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: going to die down too, so we'll see. But it'll

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: be chilling for sure. That you had me rolling yesterday

57
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: with the analogy about the onion rings. I was like,

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: this is exactly, this is exactly if.

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: You put your order in and they don't get it wrong.

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's on you. You you just heard it.

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, yep.

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: The one person who did absolutely nothing wrong is the cowboys.

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: That's what I was saying about it, like, don't give

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 4: us fluck.

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, yeah yeah, And I have a point

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: to that. After the call, after your call, I'm gonna

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: kind of I didn't say yesterday that I think maybe

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: just put an into all this, But what else is

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: on your mind? What else you got?

70
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: So I wanted to give you now this is a

71
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: little bit short term trivia, so it actually might be

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: harder for you. I guess from because my first game

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: ever there was twenty nineteen, and then of course I

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: said I'm never going to miss a game, And of

75
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: course the next year was COVID, so I we all

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 4: missed that game. Come for you.

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I was there. I was there.

78
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

79
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: But the trivia from that twenty nineteen game, can you

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: name the big play yardage and player on offense twenty nineteen?

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: See, that's that's my problem is because if you would

82
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: have said nineteen eighty three when I was seven, I

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: could tell you. But twenty nineteen, like that one isn't

84
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: isn't ringing a bell? Was that? That wasn't the rain game?

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Was it? Where it was rainy? That was seventeen? I

86
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: don't know who. What was the score of the game?

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 6: Ooh do you know what?

88
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 7: I don't know that.

89
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: It was a good score for us. We won it.

91
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: We won twenty nineteen. Up there. I mean, I can

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: remember all that if I just kind of remember the game.

93
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: That's what that's my problem. The short term memory is

94
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: not good.

95
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 4: Well, it was in September, so it was one of

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: the few ones lately that we've actually had in the

97
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: in good weather.

98
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this. I'm gonna get this. I'm gonna

99
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: get this. Let me just I just need to see

100
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: I just need to see the score. I didn't to

101
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: see the score of the game. Okay, all right, so

102
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: thirty one twenty one, Week two actually okay, okay, I

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: got it. I got it. I got it. So the Cowboys,

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys when they get the player you're talking about

105
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: is an obscure player. Yep, Devin Smith. Yes, Devin Smith

106
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: caught like a fifty yard touchdown over the middle, like

107
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: to win, I mean, not to win the game. I

108
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: think this game was not as close as the score.

109
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: I think they were blowing him out earlier. Yeah, Marii

110
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: Cooper had a couple of touchdowns maybe, Sorry, it took

111
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: me a little bit to remember that one. But yet

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: Devin Smith and it was. Yeah. I thought Devin Smith

113
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: was going to be a pretty good player, honestly, because

114
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: he was got a lot of speed. He was he

115
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: had that speed I had always been talking about.

116
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: So all right, my only question for you today, I'm

117
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: and I take it off this fine. Uh. Jacoby Brissette

118
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: he thinks to me, I don't think there's any reports

119
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: on if he's playing. I think that matters, but not

120
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 4: the Sam Howildan beat us last year. But yeah, if

121
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 4: you could discuss that would be great, and thank you,

122
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: all right.

123
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate that dan Quinn said that they're going to

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: be preparing for two a quarterback this week. They haven't

125
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: made an announcement and they probably won't. You know, those

126
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: old school coaches like that think that that's that matters,

127
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: and maybe it does, so they you know, they'll they'll

128
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: be preparing for both. But I mean, let's be honest

129
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: that it's not like you're preparing for like Brady or

130
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: you know, like Manning. I mean it's it's pre said

131
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: or Sam Howe. So you should be able to you

132
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: should be able to win the game. Neither one of

133
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: them should should really hurt you. That that bad obviously

134
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: different type of quarterback, but I think the Cowboys should

135
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: be fine. There my point I was going to make

136
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: about that sixty eight eligible seventy whatever, Chris Baman. I

137
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: looked at this play yesterday after the show and just

138
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: just remember this part that number seventy Taylor Deck. I mean,

139
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, was Dan Skipper who used to play for

140
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, or at least was that training camp with

141
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Seventy was was the one that was reported eligible.

142
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: And he lines up at the tackle position and Demon

143
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Clark and Marky's bell are right in his face. They're

144
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: all over. I mean, he's not gonna do anything. Now,

145
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: he's not trying to do anything, but he's not going

146
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: to do anything. And the point to that is he

147
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: was the guy that they announced as eligible, So keep

148
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: an eye on him. He's not going anywhere. If sixty

149
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: eight was the guy they would have announced, don't think

150
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: that he's just gonna sneak to the back of the

151
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: uin zone and catch a touchdown pass like he did.

152
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: So that's that's the thing. I mean that that's what's

153
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: getting lost in some of this is that that you

154
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: know it was just gonna be a touchdown and the

155
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys are just going to play it the exact same way.

156
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way, all right, Shelby and Virginia

157
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,920

178
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 6: there's a better way to do that, but I'd rather

179
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 6: see them go to a Cowboys fan.

180
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: So well, you just by throwing it out there right there,

181
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,440

182
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: right there. It's just if somebody's going to hit you up.

183
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: I hope there are they electronic tickets.

184
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, I can transform pretty easily.

185
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: So okay, well, and I don't want to be that person.

186
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: Not never mind, I'm I can ask that person. That's cool.

Speaker 1: They're in the stadium, right, Yeah.

188
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,280

189
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: Nothing. Nothing, Nothing irritates me more when you ask someone,

190
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, would you like tickets to the game,

191

195
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,240

196
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 6: huge fan, and it's I'm ashamed to say I haven't

197
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 6: your books yet, So I just ordered if these walls

198
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 6: could talk, I'm going to bring it to the stadium.

199
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 6: I'm going to be hanging out when the team gets

200
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 6: off the buses. If you wanted to sign it, I

201
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 6: know you're on the clock, so there's literally zero pressure.

202
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: I'll sign it. Are you where are you gonna be?

203
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be in the stadium? Are you taking

204
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: the stadium? Are you take it to that hotel?

205
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 6: We will be at the stadium where the bus is unload.

206
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'll be I'll be on the first bus. Okay,

207
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: I'll be on I'll be on the first bus. We'll

208
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: get there one one thirty. It doesn't seem like a

209
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: conversation that we have it on the air, but whatever. Anyways,

210
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: that's fun.

211
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, my dad will be there.

212
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: He will definitely sign it for you. I'll sign it. Yeah, yeah,

213
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: I'll sign if you go.

214
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: To a bar, if you have his book, he'll sign it.

215
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: All right, Chris, all right, it happened in Charlotte. It happened.

216
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: And what's funny is when they're like, oh, do you

217
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: have a sharpie? You know, Chris is like, oh, he's

218
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: got his own, got his own sharp like just carry them. Hey, hey,

219
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: I did not mind. We got free drinks out of it.

220
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: We did. We did awesome.

221
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 6: I wish I could bring a drink or something.

222
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: No, that's okay. Game day, you know, on the clock.

223
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 6: That makes sense. Also, I usually don't listen to the

224
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 6: first few episodes after a loss, not because the show

225
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 6: is not great, but just you know, but I had

226
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 6: to go back and listen to because I just kept

227
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 6: hearing about the infamous Wednesday show of last There's a

228
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 6: few sound drops that should be vaulted and kept in

229
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 6: the cow is media down.

230
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Oh Chris, Chris will do that. He's got that. I

231
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: didn't think it was that bad until the show was

232
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: over and people were like, all right, all right, and

233
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: then my mom called, She's like, are you okay? You know, no,

234
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: it was fine, you know, we're just we're just chatting.

235
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, I did go back and watch it. I

236
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: was kind of annoying. So no, no, I mean, it's

237
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: all good, it's all good. But but yeah, I mean,

238
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Hey, this team doesn't make it to

239
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, which of course I've never seen him

240
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: make it to the super Bowl. The show after that,

241
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: after that loss, if if they you know, losing the playoffs,

242
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: that's going to be interesting. I mean, the whole week

243
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: if shows is going to be interesting. But anyway, I

244
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: don't know if I'll be able.

245
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: To do that first one.

246
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 6: But I'll give you a talking points until I did,

247
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 6: you know, pitch myself on Sunday Tickets and whatnot. Uh,

248
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 6: just favorite regular season you've covered. Obviously the playoffs are

249
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 6: going to make a few of those stainfuls, but just

250
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 6: the best time you had as a writer, covering the

251
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 6: team in the record.

252
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good, thank you, thank you, Shby. I mean,

253
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, they've all ended with a loss pretty much.

254
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean except for like the year when you like

255
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: win your regular season finale, like twenty nineteen or twenty seventeen,

256
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: when you're out of the playoffs and you still win.

257
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's not even fun either. My first one

258
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: is just so memorable to me. Ninety nine is just

259
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: so memorable because I didn't know what I was doing.

260
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Debatable if I still do, but I mean just just

261
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: going through and traveling, you know, like we're going to

262
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: travel to this game with ten people in our staff,

263
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: like like our staff has about about ten, and that

264
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine season, it was just me. I mean it

265
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: was just me. I was the only person kind of

266
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: doing that, and so I didn't know what I was doing.

267
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: And that season was interesting because they won the first

268
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: road game and then they lost every other road game

269
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: that year. So they were seven and one at home

270
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: and one in seven on the road. You talk about

271
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: a different you know, like all this team's good road

272
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: team are a bad road team and a good home team.

273
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: That ninety nine team, I mean that was like two

274
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: different teams, a lot of stuff happened, you know, Emmitt,

275
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: Troy and Michael all over there, Dion. So that ninety nine,

276
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: it's still though the most memorable because got to remember,

277
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: ten years before that or nine years, I'm a young

278
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: kid and you know, high school and stuff, and I'm

279
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: i'm you know, I'm I'm cheering for Troy and Dion

280
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: and Michael and Emmett and maybe not Dion then, but

281
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I love Dion even when

282
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: he didn't play for the Cowboys, and and so then

283
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: in ninety nine to be in the locker room like wow,

284
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: like I'm covering this team, these guys. So that was

285
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: always still still the most memorable because of you know,

286
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: just kind of a pinch yourself type moment. All right,

287
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: Ali in Florida, Good morning, Good morning. Oh do you

288
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: have trivia for me?

289
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 5: Not today? Okay, good I'm gotta tell you something. I'm

290
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 5: working on it. If it's for you and a crypt

291
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 5: find it together. If you get it right, I would

292
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 5: send you the most awesome wildlife image that you would

293
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 5: love for both of you. So just to say to it,

294
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: I got home from Africa, I mean God made it

295
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: to the game. What a frecking game. I don't think.

296
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: I don't I like this close game. It's so nerve wreaking,

297
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 5: but the result was great. A couple things I heard

298
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 5: you said yesterday you had a cough. I would suggest,

299
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 5: as Derek, to give you your own personal microphone. And I

300
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: don't know you guys have it or use the same microphone,

301
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 5: but everybody breathe into it. But you're not alone. I

302
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: have a cough everywhere internationally. Everywhere I go, everybody has

303
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 5: back off and nobody knows what it is. So I

304
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 5: just want to give you that. Then I was looking

305
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 5: at this draft order. I don't know you already recovered

306
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: it in the show. Now Washington is number two, four

307
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 5: and twelve, then his pats and carding.

308
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: Off the tight off.

309
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: Then you got Giants, chargers and tight and at five eleven.

310
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 5: If they win, they're going to drop down to seven

311
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: or eight positions. And I know the new owner they

312
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 5: want to start the beginning, new beginning, and all this

313
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: quarterback on top of the draft. I would like to

314
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 5: know what goes on behind the scene. But the players,

315
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: they just want to revenge because the boat on taboys

316
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 5: beat the hell out of them. It's just like they

317
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 5: are ready to its just like spoil it for us.

318
00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: And the last take I have is they covered up

319
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 5: the Detroit game. And I think, personally, I'm so insulted

320
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 5: by h Campbell to go to that low class confuse

321
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 5: the Cowboys or referee. It's just like, come on, man,

322
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: your team is good enough stopped.

323
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well all right, all right, thanks for the thanks

324
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: for the call. Good point, Good point. Listen. I Uh,

325
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: I covered Dan Campbell when he was here. I I

326
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: liked him as as a player, and I've seen him

327
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: a couple of times over the years at the Senior

328
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Bowls and combined, you know, when he was coaching, and

329
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for him, and I

330
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: like the way he does it. Uh he coaches just

331
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: like he played, and uh, he wasn't the most talented guy,

332
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: most athletic, but that fire and grit that you see

333
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: as a coach is what he did as a player

334
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: to kind of get him to that point. And he

335
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: coaches that way. So I don't think it was low class.

336
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are the better team than the Lions. I

337
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: don't care what anyone says. They're better than Detroit, not

338
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: by a lot and if they go to Detroit. Hey,

339
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: if they had to play in Detroit, it would be

340
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: a really tough game. But I think we all if

341
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb can score a touchdown to go at fourteen

342
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: to three, who knows what that score is going to be.

343
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: The Cowboys were better than Detroit, and I know it,

344
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: you guys know it, and Dan Campbell knew it. Dan

345
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: Campbell knows that I'm gonna go score right now because

346
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to overtime and trying to stop Ceedee

347
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: Lamb again not not doing it. I don't think it's

348
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: low class trick plays or trick plays. They tried to

349
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: do it. They tried to get cute. Didn't work, But

350
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: as I said earlier, it wouldn't have I mean, I

351
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: don't it wouldn't have mattered. The Cowboy's still going to

352
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: cover that. So now are they going to be all

353
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: on side? And who knows? All right, here we go.

354
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: We got Bryce in Salt Lake City.

355
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 8: How's it going?

356
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: N How you doing? Man?

357
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 8: First time postom caller and the sexton a few times too.

358
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: Here we go? All right, Thanks? Bryce?

359
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 9: What do you got so? I?

360
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 8: Uh, looking back at one of the message I sent

361
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 8: to you and brought up to the bye week and

362
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 8: the Eagles bloss about so Brandon Cooks and Tyron Smith

363
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 8: and the the MVP in the second half of the season,

364
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 8: and you brought up back and you were right on point.

365
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 8: He's been playing absolutely out of his mind with CD

366
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 8: and I kind of want to see where you're at

367
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 8: with going into the playoffs, going into Washington. You know

368
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 8: how the defense and offense can help each other a

369
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 8: bit more without the bending break and yeah, and what

370
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 8: you see what Dak Presh got doing and what needs

371
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 8: to happen over the next few weeks.

372
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I will thank you, Thanks Bryce

373
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: for the call. Can we get it here? We go

374
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: for Bryce Chris. We're busy, but this is a man

375
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: in the phones.

376
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 8: No, it went, but it was all screwed up, so

377
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 8: I had to fix it.

378
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: Sorry, So he got to he got to awesome interesting

379
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: point about about you know, Dak and you know m

380
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: v P. I talk you. He's not gonna be the

381
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: m v P. I think I think Lamar Jackson's got

382
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: that one there. But you know, I think he's in

383
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: He's in the running. Uh. Tonight the Pro Bowl comes out.

384
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl announcement, and uh be interesting to see how

385
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: many cowboys make it. I'm thinking, uh anywhere from like

386
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be six. Six is six

387
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: would be a Travis d if you don't have six,

388
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: so we we those are easy. I mean you know

389
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: that that's gonna happen. Seven, I'm thinking seven or eight,

390
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: you know, because I mean, without a doubt Ceedee lamb

391
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: and and Dak and uh Zach Martin, Micah Deron, Bland, Aubrey,

392
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: those six are in. I mean that there'll be some

393
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: there'll be some explaining to do that isn't the case.

394
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: Then after that, you know, Tyler Smith, I think Tyler

395
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Smith has it, has a shot. Tyron Smith. I think

396
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: I think you need to look at Jake Ferguson, but

397
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tough. Ferguson, though maybe Turpin uh hasn't

398
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: doesn't really qualify, hadn't had a lot of returns as

399
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: a return specialist. Anger, I mean, Brian Ainger's had a

400
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: really good year. It's quiet because of what Aubrey's done.

401
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: But Anger is a guy that I think you know

402
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: has a has a good chance as well. So I'm

403
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: thinking somewhere between seven or eight nine maybe would be

404
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: a lot, but uh, definitely has to be six tonight

405
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: and as Dak, Dak's played great. But I'll say this

406
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: about the playoffs to answer your question, if they get

407
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: this number two seed, I mean, think about the games

408
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: they haven't played well in. You know, they haven't played

409
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: well when if it's cold, it's raining now they they

410
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: got to play in some cold this game. But if

411
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: you can get the number two seed, I mean, your

412
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: first two playoff games, if you can, if you get there,

413
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be home and then then where I mean,

414
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: then if you go on the road, it's gonna be

415
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco, which I mean it's not gonna be not

416
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: gonna be that cold. You know, it's not gonna be snowy.

417
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: So I mean number two seed is really important to

418
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: get out of the cold weather. But ironically, to get there,

419
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: you got to beat Washington in the cold weather weather.

420
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: All right, Brian in Kansas City.

421
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 10: Good morning, sir, How are you doing. I'm all right,

422
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 10: I'm alright, man. I got a couple of questions regarding

423
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 10: the move yesterday with bringing Lael Collins back.

424
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: Not official, not official as of this morning. As of

425
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: right now, this show ten twenty two AM Central. I

426
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: don't believe the Cowboys have done that, but I think

427
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: that they're going to Lyell. Thinks they're going to oh Man.

428
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: And I don't know where I saw it. I saw

429
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: that they signed him to the practice squad and.

430
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: They probably will and that's what they're going to do.

431
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: But uh, from when I was told before went on

432
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: that he probably won't be on the practice squad when

433
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: they go to practice here in about hour and a half,

434
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: but it's probably going to happen. So let's answer the question.

435
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 10: Well, my question is, well two parts. One is how

436
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 10: do elevations work once the season is over, Like you know,

437
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 10: you only get three during the year. Does it change

438
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 10: for the playoffs? And then my other question is what

439
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 10: do I want to know your opinion? And then what

440
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 10: do you think the team's going to do? So for me,

441
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 10: it's better than a Doga. He's probably better than a

442
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 10: Doga now, even though he hadn't played all year. I mean,

443
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 10: I know he's going to have to shake the rust off,

444
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 10: but Doga just scares me on the left side. I mean,

445
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 10: just that was just terrifying watching that game.

446
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: He's got Junkyard dog that's what Lyle Collins has and

447
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: that's what this team needs. And so I don't know,

448
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, from the practice squad elevation if you're going

449
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: to just be a backup or whatever, but if he

450
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: has to play. Apparently the workout went really well, you know,

451
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: considering maybe what they thought he would be. You know, weight,

452
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: it's been an issue for him and you're not playing

453
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: all year long, or and then you know, to be

454
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: this point in the season and be ready to have

455
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: that kind of workout that was that was impressive. So

456
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: I think he will be on the team. I think

457
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: he will be on the practice squad and they could

458
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: elevate him. But you have another question.

459
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I just had an old timer for you.

460
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: I hadn't asked you about a staff member in a while.

461
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: You gave us the Bury Church marshmallow candy story, so

462
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: I was wondering if maybe you had a story on

463
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 2: Jesse Holly and I'll hang up. I have a great day, brother.

464
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I have a documentary on Just Holly that

465
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: we did from reality uh watching from Hollywood, I don't know,

466
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: from reality to Hollywood. It was the documentary. Yeah, Jesse.

467
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: Jesse's story is amazing. I mean it's there's just no

468
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: other way to say it. I mean, weirdly when you

469
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: when you think of it. Now, to me, the movie Invincible,

470
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: okay with Mark Wahlberg and the Eagles, and he's a

471
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: special teams guide the moment of the movie, I mean

472
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: he makes like a special teams tackle against the Giants.

473
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the movie. Like, that's that's the point.

474
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: So played three years or whatever. Vince Papali was his name.

475
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: But Jesse Holly story is just as good, if not better,

476
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, because all that stuff you see

477
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: in the movie. Who knows if that's real or not.

478
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know that Jesse went through

479
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: is just it's just phenomenal. You know. It's a reality

480
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: TV show that's never been done. It's never been done

481
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: to get a spot on a team, you know, Michael

482
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: Irvin's reality show. And he wins it and then gets

483
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: there and you know, and to me, though not the

484
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: forty nine er game, the forty nine er game is

485
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: not the one where you know, the seventy seven yard catch,

486
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: that's that would be the end of the movie, right,

487
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: he does that, But the one that got him on

488
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: the map. That was kind of so crazy was the

489
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota playoff. I'm sorry, preseason Minnesota in like twenty ten,

490
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: where it's the last game. He hasn't done a whole

491
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: lot in the preseason, probably not going to make the

492
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: team or the practice squad, and a punt just bounces.

493
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: He's not the returner. It just bounces right to him.

494
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: He's like the jammer guy on the side, bounces right

495
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: to him, picks it up, he turns, runs seventy five

496
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys win the game against Minnesota.

497
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: He makes the practice squad. Just the irony of what

498
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: happens when the ball all bounces your way. That ball

499
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: hadn't been bouncing Jesse Holly's way his whole life, and

500
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: it bounces right to him. What do you do with

501
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity? You take it to the house and you score.

502
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: And that right there, that's what opened everything up for

503
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: Jesse Holly to me, if you haven't seen the documentary,

504
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: it's great. And here's another thing about it is that

505
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: Jesse was a producer for us on that he made

506
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: that thing happen. He drove us around New Jersey and

507
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: these places, and he set up all the interviews, all

508
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: it was. It was phenomenal, and I'm so disappointed that

509
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: we didn't win an Emmy for him. It was nominated,

510
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: but it didn't win, and I'm so disappointed because he

511
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: would have won it and he deserved. His stories is amazing.

512
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that was the story he

513
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: wanted me to tell, but that's what That's the only

514
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: thing I could think of when you ask about Jesse Holly,

515
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: all right, Bruce and Houston.

516
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, thanks for taking my call out. That's pretty

517
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 11: cool story. That's what I like about you. You've got

518
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 11: all these little back stories that we don't get to know,

519
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 11: you know, unless we know the man personally. That's pretty cool.

520
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 11: You kind of stole my You kind of stole my

521
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 11: my thunder a little bit. It's setting up nice for Dallas,

522
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 11: like you said, h weatherwise, the first two rounds, if

523
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 11: they get through them, they just gotta I would hope

524
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 11: Dallas takes it out of Washington, you know, takes their

525
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 11: heart out.

526
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 5: Right off the bat.

527
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 11: If they If they do, you know, then all the better.

528
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 11: My question to you, because they've got it set up,

529
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 11: they should they should be able to at least get

530
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 11: to the championship game. I mean, I know the teams

531
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 11: are gonna play are tough, Don't get me wrong. They

532
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 11: wants to play the Rams or even Seattle at this juncture.

533
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 11: But at home, I'll take my chances for the Packers.

534
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 11: I'll take my chances with all of them. The team

535
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 11: that we can't get over is San Francisco and until

536
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 11: we do that, So my question to you is, I

537
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 11: don't not Debbie Downer today. If McCarthy doesn't get them

538
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 11: to at least that, I just don't know how you

539
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 11: can go on with him, especially with his clock management

540
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 11: that he's done since he's been here. Really, I wanted

541
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 11: you to talk about that. I love the Collins pick

542
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 11: up because I think we need a depth, and you

543
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 11: said it.

544
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: He's a dog.

545
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 11: In fact, he could probably play left guard if he

546
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 11: had to, because I believe he is more of a

547
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 11: guard than tackle.

548
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, and probably right now would just just you know,

549
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: just hadn't played a lot. I would think God would

550
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: be better for him.

551
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 11: I think so too. And they're covering their bets in case,

552
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 11: you know, Smith can't go or the other Smith gets hurt.

553
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 11: So smart played by Dallas Cook. You know I was

554
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 11: listening to guys this morning. There you know, half of

555
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 11: them or four it and half of them or not.

556
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 11: But I believe Dallas had a chance to get him

557
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 11: in the free agency and they didn't take a chance then,

558
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 11: So that kind of tells us a little bit how they.

559
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 12: Feel a little at the draft next year.

560
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 11: There's four guy that they've got to pick up at

561
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 11: least in the third round. First and second they've got

562
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 11: to sw linebacker and tackle, I believe. But I'll hang

563
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 11: up and listen.

564
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: Good show, Thank you appreciate that. Bruce. You know, remember

565
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: like the price for you know, I mean he signed

566
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: a one year, seven million dollar contract Dalvin Cook did

567
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: for with the Jets, so that might have been you

568
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: know the reason too. I mean the Cowboys they may

569
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: have called. They've been like, hey, what are we looking

570
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: at here? And he said, yeah, this is this is

571
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: what we're gonna get with the Jets or whatever, and

572
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: so that kind of soured them on it. So as

573
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: of right now, I mean it would be a little

574
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: bit different than that. I mean, you could you could

575
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: still give the guy a seven million dollar contract right now.

576
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean you're only going to get one eighteenth of it,

577
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: So I mean or you know, some into the playoffs.

578
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I I think that it's a

579
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: little early. It's it's a lot ely for the draft.

580
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, so but yeah, you know, you see these

581
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: positions that that are going to be in need, and

582
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: running back's got to be one of them, of course.

583
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean when you're you're gonna be

584
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: the end of the first round, and you got to

585
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: get a good a good football player. And you know,

586
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: they they picked for need this year with Mozzi Smith,

587
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: and so far it hasn't it hasn't worked out, and

588
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have you know, you have to get

589
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: a good football player. And so we can we can

590
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: think that they have all these needs, but you know

591
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: you're supposed to kind of take care of some things

592
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: with free agency, put some band aid on some positions. Uh,

593
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: and then and then get to the draft and not

594
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: have to be you know, pigeonholed into saying, we got

595
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: to get this spot. You know, you gotta get the

596
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: running back, gotta get a linebacker. Be nice. But I mean,

597
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, what about cornerback? What if you don't resign

598
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore, you know, and what if you know, you

599
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: got Digs coming back from an injury. You got bland

600
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: of cornerbacks right there, and whatever pick you're going to pick,

601
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: you know that could be big too. So all right,

602
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Dylan Northport, Florida.

603
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 13: Hey, Moretin Nick morning.

604
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 12: Hey.

605
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 13: Regarding the last caller, Mike McCarthy, I don't think he

606
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 13: goes anywhere regardless of what happens three twelve and five.

607
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 13: Assuming we went next week three twelve and five seasons,

608
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 13: you're going to get a regurgitated head coach, you know,

609
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 13: else from elsewhere that's failing, and that's why he's out

610
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 13: in the street, and that's having his best season in

611
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 13: his career. And I don't think that's a coincidence at

612
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 13: all whatsoever. Mike's known for his quarterback development and here

613
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 13: he's senior quarterback being developed. So I don't think Mike

614
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 13: goes anywhere regardless of what happens.

615
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't either, honestly. I mean, I just you

616
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: want to build. You're trying to build a foundation here

617
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: and he's done that. He has done that. Now, yes,

618
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: you want to get over over the hump, but I mean,

619
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: who are you going to I mean, who are you

620
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: going to bring in that says, all right, what this

621
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: guy has built and everything, and then you know, put

622
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: him in there. I mean this is his first year

623
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: calling the place here with Dak. Dak's had his best

624
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: year probably. I mean, Dak has his best year of

625
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: his career. I mean, come on, twenty sixteen. It was

626
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: it was it was not it was hand theball to

627
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: Zeke and take care of things, and he did a

628
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: really good job. But he's not taking over like like

629
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: he's done here. So I that doesn't make any sense

630
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: to me to to just get him for for who.

631
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of teams out there that

632
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: are they're just right there. They're trying to to get

633
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: to that next level. And I used the Mike Holngroom

634
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: reference last week, but I mean the Packers for four

635
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: years were building something. They just weren't better than Dallas

636
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, and right now the Cowboys just haven't

637
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: been better than San Francisco. San Francisco has been better.

638
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: But I mean that's that doesn't mean you have to

639
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 1: lose your coach for it. That's the way I think.

640
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: Let's see how it all plays out them.

641
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, we're kind of getting Ahad

642
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 13: of ourselves there. But yeah, I like Michael. I think

643
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 13: he's done a good job here regarding this run defense.

644
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 13: Last week was really weird against the Lions. It was

645
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 13: like they ever had a ten to fifteen year old run.

646
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 13: There was like a two yard loss. There was like

647
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 13: no in between it all whatsoever. Micah had a really

648
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 13: good game against the ground, which was nice to seek it.

649
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 13: That's been a criticism on him. De Las obviously balling out.

650
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 13: So these guys play well and I'm excited when Hankins

651
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 13: comes back.

652
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 12: Hopefully they can.

653
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 13: Keep playing that way and some of those larger runs

654
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 13: comes down, so it kind of evens that that divide

655
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 13: a little bit.

656
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: So here your.

657
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 13: Thoughts on that. And then random cowboy just an honor

658
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 13: up the game against Washington here, it's not a name

659
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 13: the Cowboys fans will like to hear, but we'll go

660
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 13: ahead and go with Alex Barron and that that mess

661
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 13: at the end of that one game. Yep, I'll hang

662
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 13: up and listen to thanks, thank.

663
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: You Alex Baron tackle that they that they had from

664
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: he was drafted by the Rams. And then I think

665
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: this is two thousand and ten opener he's referring to

666
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: at Washington where the Cowboys were driving for the win

667
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: and through a touchdown I think to Roy Williams was

668
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: called back for a holding on Baron, which was his

669
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: third of the day. Ironically enough, I was told not

670
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: too long after that game that he grated out better

671
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: than any player on that line that day. That just

672
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: kind of goes to show, you know, just how you

673
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: know penalties matter and you know when you're watching that's

674
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: what you see. But Alex Barrion actually played a really

675
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: good game. He had three holding calls, but the other

676
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: sixty five seventy snaps or whatever graded out really well.

677
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: Despite that, nothing that matters that they lost the game,

678
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: and in that game, they lost Bright before the half

679
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: with a fumble but t Shard choice that was kind

680
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: of crazy. But but your point about Hankins is right.

681
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins I think is going to be a big

682
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: difference maker. He always has been. I mean that's why

683
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: they traded for him. Last year. He fixed the run,

684
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt and then they had run issues.

685
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: Then he came back to the playoffs and they were

686
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: better there. Same this year they've been good. They're just

687
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: better when he's in there. So Hankins should be able

688
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: to play this week against Washington. Washington's got they got

689
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: some physical runners. I think Brian Robinson's back, He's he's

690
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: a load to handle. So yeah, I think Hankins should

691
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: be playing this week, and I think that there's a

692
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: big difference maker when he's in there. All Right, Kent

693
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

694
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 12: Good morning, Nick. Hey, I've got a quick question here, right.

695
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 12: I've been watching the other podcast, and everybody is really

696
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 12: skeptical or just outright opposed to bringing Dalvin Cook in

697
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 12: for a look. And I was certainly not a fan

698
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 12: of signing him in the offseason when it was going

699
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 12: to cost several million dollars. But why on earth wouldn't

700
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 12: you at least kick the tires on a former All

701
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 12: Pro seeing the struggles that we continue to have on.

702
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: Running well, I mean you got to see if is

703
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: he a better option for you? Is he better option

704
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: than Rico Daddle running the ball? And I know you

705
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: you think, oh, all pro, I mean former All Pro?

706
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: But is I mean, is he is he better? I

707
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: mean you know, I mean I I don't know that.

708
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: And and also that that throws a wrench in things

709
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: A little bit. You bring in a guy like that.

710
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: I know you don't think special teams matters, but it

711
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: matters if you're giving up a punt block or something

712
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: like that. And the reason I say that is, you

713
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: know right now they're backup running back. Rico Dalad or

714
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: whoever it is, plays on special teams. So you bring

715
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: in a cook. Now he doesn't do that, and now

716
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, you just shuffle some things around. Is it

717
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: worth it? That's that's all they have to figure out.

718
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, because because I think we think about names

719
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: a lot, and I I do what we all do.

720
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: We like, see the name, You're like, oh man, that

721
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: would be great. But thirty other thirty one other teams

722
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: are seeing this the same name, and then I mean

723
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: are they interested? I just don't know if he has

724
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: it anymore. And that's that's what they got to figure out.

725
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 12: But you yeah, a joint thirty one other teams isn't

726
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 12: an issue at this point, right because we're just talking

727
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 12: about playoff teams. And then who has a playoff team

728
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 12: whose offense is predicated on a run first, playofption or

729
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 12: play action pass type offense.

730
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: And well, I say the thirty one team.

731
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 12: Put your number down to five or six.

732
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: Okay, I say, I say the thirty one teams from

733
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: from last year in free agency, I mean when he

734
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: was out there too. So you're you're right, I mean,

735
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: you're not worried about that that many teams right now?

736
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: It's about you know, who who could you know, who

737
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: could he help? And he probably could. I'm not against it,

738
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm really not. I'm not. I'm just giving you why.

739
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: Maybe they wouldn't. I mean, I think they'd be they'd

740
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: be they'd be stupid not to kick the tires on

741
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: and and research it and look into it. I think

742
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: that you have to do that. If they don't do it,

743
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: they don't do it. I mean this team has shown

744
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: though they Yeah, I think Jerry and gets you know,

745
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think he gets some criticism

746
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: on the fact of the stuff they haven't done.

747
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: You know.

748
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: You see, well, look with the forty nine ers made

749
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: a trade and they got Chase Young or you know,

750
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: they you know, these teams are making all these moves

751
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: and Shacklinard they didn't get him done. But if you

752
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: go back and look the last couple of years, the

753
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys have made moves like this. They they they brought

754
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: in guys like this, Anthony Barr from Minnesota, Jason Peters,

755
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhoades, high profile guys that are out there, and

756
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: maybe they could help. So it could happen. I mean,

757
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: it could happen, and it wouldn't be the worst thing

758
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: if they did that.

759
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 12: Right, all right, I just would like to see him.

760
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 12: If they could just boost our running game a little bit,

761
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 12: just look into it. I wouldn't just fly sign the guy.

762
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: Look into it at it.

763
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 12: I don't know that battle is up, and then you're

764
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 12: out of elevations from leaks. I like both those guys,

765
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 12: but we don't know how that is. And then with

766
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 12: Malik being out of elevations, then you'd have to give

767
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 12: up a spot on the fifty three to move them up.

768
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: I did not answer this question from earlier. From what

769
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: I was told, the elevation's reset in the playoffs, So

770
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: Malie Davis, Malik Jefferson, guys like that could could uh

771
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, fall back into play here. So but but yeah,

772
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: all right, thanks camp, good call. All right, Let's go

773
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: to Brian in Louisiana. Brian, Hey, yeah, man, how you

774
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: doing all right?

775
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 12: Pretty good?

776
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 7: How you doing?

777
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm good what's up.

778
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 12: I just got a quick question.

779
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 7: Now, I know people are still talking about this two

780
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 7: points conversions stuff, and my question was is that what

781
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 7: is kind of like, I guess the timing of from

782
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 7: when the rest tell the defense that seventies eligible has

783
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 7: then announced it on the TA that said the details away.

784
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 7: At what point how much time would Detroit have to say, okay,

785
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 7: well they called the wrong number, ten eight, do anything.

786
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I think would have happened there is Golf

787
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: goes over to the official and says, we didn't say seventy,

788
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: We said sixty eight. We didn't say seventy is sixty

789
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: eight is eligible? Oh okay, okay, got correction, sixty eight

790
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: is eligible. Probably at that point reset the game clock,

791
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: the play clock. That's what I think they made a mistake.

792
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: And now now but now you're alerting everyone, and now

793
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, you're shopping the clock, and the fact that

794
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: GoF had to be like whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not true.

795
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: You know that that's where that's where Detroit didn't want that,

796
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: So you know, that kind of screwed up the whole plan.

797
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: So it just didn't work.

798
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 7: So in other words, they basically just kind of rolled

799
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 7: the dice and said, Okay, well, yeah, we're not gonna

800
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 7: spall it. We're just gonna run with it. Maybe they

801
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 7: should probably audible out of it, knowing that they were

802
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 7: going to get that Kennedy because members six game was

803
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 7: no longer eligible, because the plate worked, because Dallas.

804
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: Wasn't worse, wasn't worried about it. Yeah. I mean that's

805
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: the thing. If you were told Steph Curry can't shoot

806
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: the ball, he's not allowed to shoot in the corner, well,

807
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: you're not going to guard him, and then all of

808
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: a sudden he gets the ball and he shoots the three,

809
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait a second, Oh no, that wasn't true.

810
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: It was Clay that can't shoot. Oh crap, I mean exactly.

811
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: That's just this is silly.

812
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 7: But all right, bro, I appreciate the time.

813
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: Thank you.

814
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: All right. I want to say something else about the

815
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: reporting eligible and stuff like that. This this just kind

816
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: of goes to show just how like these quarterbacks, how

817
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: phenomenal they are. So Back in the Philly game on

818
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: the road, I don't know if you remember too many

819
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: Doga came onto the field for a play, and I

820
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: remember sitting in the press box. It was happened right

821
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: in front of us. He comes in under the play.

822
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: He's not starting, he's a backup, and I remember looking

823
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: over at Derek and I was like, he hasn't reported it.

824
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: They haven't announced this, Like what's he doing? And they

825
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: were about to snap it and Dak is under center

826
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: and he turns to the official under center and he

827
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: looked at the official and he's like, he's making the

828
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, eligible sign, reporting sign, and nothing happened. So

829
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: he just snaps the ball and they run it and

830
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: then a flag comes because he didn't report eligible. And

831
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: I even asked Dak two weeks later, I was like,

832
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: how did you know that Schumann didn't you know? And

833
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: he goes, you just he just got a feel for

834
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, you just hear the announcement and I just

835
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: didn't remember hearing it. And I'm thinking, when you think

836
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: about what a play call is, it's like seventy three

837
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: words in a road. You know, to make the call,

838
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: then the adjustment, you're looking at the safety and the

839
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: linebacker identifying the mic. You know, you're getting this guy

840
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: in motion. You're looking at the clock and it's going down.

841
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: And then also to think wait, Tchuma didn't report. I

842
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: mean that that blows my mind that these quarterbacks can

843
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: do that and GoF, you know, and maybe in his head,

844
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, they were saying, GoF, hey, you know, make

845
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: sure Cca goes over there. But it's just so much.

846
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: I just have a lot of respect for that with

847
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 1: those guys did and it reminds me of that play

848
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: that that Dak tried to make there with you know,

849
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: he's got thirty seven things in a road to think about,

850
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: and that was thirty eight. But that was that was

851
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: a bad penalty too, all right, Joe in New Jersey?

852
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: Next call hey, Nick a happy New year.

853
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 3: How are you?

854
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you doing?

855
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 3: Good? Good? Good? A couple of different topics here. First

856
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: one is more of a comment. I feel as if

857
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 3: we ever would have picked up Derrick Henry when we

858
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 3: could have, this team is a completely different team than

859
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 3: we are right now. Number two, I feel like this

860
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 3: team has struggled without having a vocal leader on offense

861
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: and defense for like the past eight years. It feels

862
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 3: like we struggle with that vocal leader of Ascotta whenever

863
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 3: we're behind. Where we struggle when we're behind going to

864
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: rally the troops to get them, get them juiced up

865
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 3: to do what they need to do. It feels like

866
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 3: it's something.

867
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: That what would you call that? What would you call that?

868
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: Is he not a vocal leader? But may maybe I'll

869
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: stick to defense, Okay.

870
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 3: I'll think. I don't think Parsons is art that guy?

871
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: I see? Maybe maybe Tank is that guy. Sometimes I

872
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 3: just feel like, just as a franchise, we haven't drafted

873
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 3: those folks, and I feel like that that's an area

874
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: that we've been struggling with. Uh yeah for a bit.

875
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: I mean you're closer to the team obviously, who I mean,

876
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 3: who could who could you think? On defense? That might

877
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: be the guy?

878
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: And I just it's tough.

879
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 3: I think it's a gap.

880
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough. Leadership is not easy. Let me ask you.

881
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: Are you still there? Joe?

882
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, Yeah.

883
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: Who's the best leader in the Cowboys I've ever had?

884
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 3: Always say an offense or defense? Either, I'm gonna say offense,

885
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: Troy Aikman defense. I'm forty one, right, so I'll give

886
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 3: you the I'm talking one players I've seen on you know,

887
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: on TV on Sundays, maybe Woodson. I struggle with, like

888
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 3: finding the Ray Lewis types, right I have. I haven't

889
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 3: seen those types in my lifetime as a Cowboys.

890
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: Would you call it to shard choice a good leader?

891
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: So no, you wouldn't. I didn't see it enough, right, right,

892
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: you know what? No, No, But Joe, the reason why

893
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm asking you that is, this is why this is

894
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: a very difficult thing to to figure out. It's not

895
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: a stat. Okay, you don't have a leadership stat. It's

896
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: you named Troy Aikman gold jacket. You name Darren Woodson

897
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: going to have a gold jacket maybe this year, Ray Lewis,

898
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin is one. These are great players who were

899
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: vocal and loud, and the cameras caught him and doing

900
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So you put that together. But

901
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna name his name. But the Cowboys had

902
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: a player about twelve years ago that tried to be

903
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: a leader. He was the leader of their team on

904
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, that side of the ball. He was an

905
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: okay player and he was the leader. He was a

906
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: good leader, but he was okay. He was missing plays

907
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: left and right too. So what you know, it's hard

908
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: to do that if you're not just a badass. And

909
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: that's the problem with leadership is that, you know, you

910
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: could say Tank is the leader, and he is. He

911
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: gets in front of the team and all that stuff,

912
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: but it's not easy when you don't make all the plays.

913
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: You know, Micah could be the leader because he's you know,

914
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: he makes that many plays. So that's why leadership, to

915
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: me is kind of tricky to de find because you're

916
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: really talking about an awesome player that is also keeps

917
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, keeps these guys accountable.

918
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if of course I don't get I don't

919
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 3: see all the sidelines footage, right, but you know, when

920
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: we're down, we struggle, right Like we're struggling to get

921
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 3: back when we're down. You know, I don't know if

922
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 3: if it helps to have that leader that's going to

923
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 3: kind of remind folks of our mission and whatnot. I

924
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 3: see that pre game, I see that, but yeah, I

925
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: mean that's just you know, I appreciate the time, Nick,

926
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 3: but as a fan, you know, I just wish I

927
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 3: see that out there and what your thoughts on the Hey,

928
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 3: if you would have had a Derrick Henry back would

929
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 3: make this team a little different with the struggling.

930
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have made the team better. But for sure,

931
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. It would have made the team better.

932
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: But remember no team in the league traded for him,

933
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, And as much as they were sort of

934
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: talking about it or whatever, nobody nobody pulled the trigger

935
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: and made that trade. What were they asking for? Maybe

936
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: it was just too much? So yes, that would have

937
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: helped the team. I mean, he would have been better

938
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: than the backup running backs that you had, probably going

939
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: to cost you a first round pick, and I was

940
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: actually told that was The Cowboys never really discussed it though.

941
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: It never got that serious, and I think it's because

942
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: of the asking price from Tennessee. All right, real quick,

943
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: Eric in North Carolina, what's.

944
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 9: Up, Nick, what's up man? How's it going?

945
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, bro, Happy new year to you. How

946
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: are you good?

947
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 5: Good man?

948
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 9: I'm doing very well. Blessed you and blessed you all right,

949
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 9: But I'll be real quick, so I appreciate it. I

950
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 9: want your opinion, man. I feel like if the Eaglet

951
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 9: would have won the other day that we would be

952
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 9: having this whole uproll about how the Cowboys going the day.

953
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 9: Just just my opinion. I feel like if they lost,

954
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 9: they're making an issue out of it more than what

955
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 9: it is, and I just want your opinion.

956
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: Can you repeat that for me? Making an issue out

957
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 1: of what.

958
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 9: You know, the whole controversion about how the Cowboys beat

959
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 9: Detroit or on Saturday. I feel if the Eagles would

960
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 9: have won that game, that it would have been just

961
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 9: it wouldn't even have been a foot note.

962
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 3: To the weekend.

963
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 9: In my opinion, I just feel like I said, they're

964
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 9: stressing it more than what they should based off the

965
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 9: fact that we jumped the first place in the division.

966
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 9: That's just how I see it.

967
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know, I don't I don't, you know,

968
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with that, because Rex

969
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: Ryan was was about to blow a gasket, you know,

970
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: in the pregame shows on Sunday before Philly did all that,

971
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, I mean those those pregame shows on Sunday

972
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: for the games. I mean it was a huge topic.

973
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was, you know, and and think about it.

974
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Detroit, Detroit's a lovable team if you don't,

975
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, unless you're in Minnesota or Green Bay, Chicago, whatever, everybody.

976
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Dan Campbell, it was on Hard Knocks.

977
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: You know, that's root for the Lions. You know, he's

978
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: going for it. Aggressive play to win, right, Well, you

979
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: play to win when you don't, when you don't think

980
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: you're a better team, you know, you do that kind

981
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 1: of stuff. Go watch a football team, college, high school,

982
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: pro first play the games like a double reverse pass

983
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: throwback to the receiver to the quarterback. They're probably gonna lose. Yep,

984
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna lose, and they know it. So and

985
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: I like Dan Campbell. I like Dan Campbell. But I

986
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: would have I would have kicked the extra point after

987
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: that and back to the seven, I would have kicked

988
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: the extra point.

989
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,680
