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

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,960
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 3: This is 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
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,680
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
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: with leap Year coming up on Thursday. I always hated

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: leap Year as a kid because my birthday's early March,

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: and so it's just one more day before the birthday.

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: But would really be terrible to have your birthday on

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: leap year? I would think, Or maybe it's not. Maybe

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: it's cool. Maybe you tell people you're a fourth of

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: your age every time. Who knows, all right, But that's

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: not today. That's that's Thursday. We'll talk about that on Thursday,

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: on February twenty ninth. But today, February twenty seventh, we'll

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: got plenty to talk about with the Cowboys. Course, the

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: combines going on in Indianapolis, which means people up there talk.

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, Steven Jones is there talking today. I think

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will be talking on Thursday or Friday, maybe Friday.

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: This this week, So, you know, with free agency coming up,

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: lots to lots going on, lots to talk about. I

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: don't know how many answers actually came out of that.

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: I saw some of the some of the storylines there

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: and some of the quotes from Steven Jones. I mean,

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: nothing to earth shattering, just about the free agents and

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: the guys that that are, you know, the decisions they

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: have to make coming up with some of these these

30
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: free agents. But you know, I think it all, it

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: all starts really with Dak I mean, that's that's the

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: big contract that will kind of determine what they do.

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: And you know, everything always starts with the quarterbacks, and

34
00:01:55,440 --> 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
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: market's going to tell what happens. There a lot of

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: running backs obviously there, and I'm sure there'll be some

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: questions or two about that today. Sorry. Eight eight, eight, eight, five,

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

41
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: You can text as well. Eight one seven two nine

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
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 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: call and get a chance to talk. Last week we

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,679
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
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 4: Hey?

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: How you doing good?

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: How are you good?

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 5: Spend a minute? Yeah, times a little tougher, but glad

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: I was 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 5: Something that you and Rob had talked about a couple

57
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 5: of times now is the Micah Parsons drop late in

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 5: the season. And I was curious about that because I'm like,

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 5: to this guy, really like the calendar changes to like December,

60
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 5: he just falls off the face of the planet, like

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 5: we all know. He was getting pressures, but his sacks

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 5: just like disappeared completely. And so I went and I

63
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 5: did a little bit of research at specifically the time

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 5: to throw, because something stuck out to me in the

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: Seattle game, this kind of story on Gino is that

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: the dude held out of the ball for way too long.

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 5: So I thought that was going to be sack city

68
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 5: in that game. But they went and made a concerted

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 5: effort to get the ball out quick, kind of negate

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: his presence there on the field as far as sacks go.

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: And so I went and looked at the games following

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: that one, and the quarterbacks are getting the ball out

73
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: ten to twenty percent faster every single game. And that's

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 5: where we saw the Michael drop off was after that game,

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: he only had a couple two and a half stacks

76
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: from that point on the rest of the season. That

77
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 5: was only week thirteen, So that tells me that maybe

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 5: they saw something the other teams were able to pick

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 5: on as well. With our cornerbacks losing off the line

80
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: of scrimmage, teams getting up and quicker. Then obviously we

81
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: know they, you know, try to run the ball as

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: well against us, but I don't think it's necessarily and

83
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: I do think there is something to Mike needing to

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 5: gain weight if he's gonna play the end, you know,

85
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: full time. Obviously he's too light to be there full time.

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 5: But I don't know if the drop off is as

87
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: severe as we think. Maybe it is based on him alone,

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 5: I think it has something to do with the rest

89
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: of the defense as well, and specifically the cornerbacks losing

90
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: off the line and out if that's like a scheme

91
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: thing or the DB's just losing off the line or what.

92
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 5: But I don't thought that was kind of interesting.

93
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah that is, I mean, because you want to I

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: wish I had my stats in front of me. The pressures.

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: That's something to look at too. Did the pressures change?

96
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously sacks they don't is one. I

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: mean I don't feel like they do. I mean I

98
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: don't feel I feel like the pressures are still there.

99
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's a combination of everything. I really do.

100
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: I think you're right. It's good that you did the research,

101
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: and you're right. I mean, you know, teams aren't going

102
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: to continue to just do the same thing. I mean,

103
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: then you're going to double team.

104
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: You know.

105
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I saw a game the other day when my team

106
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: was playing basketball. We gave up forty points to a

107
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: guy Arkansas the sexas A and m The next game

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: he got six, you know. I mean, they do things different,

109
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: so you're not just going to continue to do the

110
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: same thing. So I think it's a it's a combination

111
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: of that of you know, let's address this issue with

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: with Micah. You know, if you're having to block him,

113
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna try this on them, We're gonna do this.

114
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things, but I don't think

115
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: it's all. It's also three years now. I think his

116
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: body type is probably I mean, he does get tired.

117
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: He has to be tired and worn down because he's

118
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: not natural to be playing at that weight. So I

119
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit of everything. But but if

120
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: the pressures aren't really going down, then I think it's

121
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: it's probably more to it than than just what you say,

122
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, than what people are thinking is that he's tired,

123
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: he's worn down.

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, and his pressures didn't go down. You're talking he

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: had just as many pressures in the last six games

126
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 5: here as the rest of the season in the other games.

127
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 5: You look at his double team win rate as well,

128
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 5: he is the highest percentage of double team in the league,

129
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 5: and he wins the highest percentage of double teams in

130
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: the league. So like he's still winning, he's still getting

131
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 5: the pressures. But that that point two second differential, it

132
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: seems like such a small number when you're talking time

133
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: to throw and he's getting pressures not the sacks. Well,

134
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons why.

135
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right, appreciate that. That's just good research.

136
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: As we found out last week. You know, point four

137
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: seconds you can do a lot of things, like you

138
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: can throw a long pass and catch it and shoot it.

139
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm still not over that, but anyways, yeah, point two.

140
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that doesn't sound like a lot, but but

141
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, from a quarterback, everything speeds up quickly.

142
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: So I think I think it's good that that's that's

143
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: good to know that. I mean, I think that the

144
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: pressures are still there. I think teams are are trying

145
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: to make a conscious effort to block him differently, throw

146
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: the ball quicker. But I'm not gonna just dismiss the

147
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: fact that that he's probably you know, not the same.

148
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, it probably wears down a little bit because

149
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: there's just not many people at his weight that are

150
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: that are playing that position and doing it all the time.

151
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: So all right, let's call Shelby in Virginia. It's the

152
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: next caller, Shelby. What's up?

153
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 6: Hey, Nick?

154
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: Are you doing? I'm doing great? How are you doing?

155
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 7: I'm doing great? I wanted to call back. I tried

156
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 7: to call a bunch the Monday after the dark Dark

157
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 7: Sunday in January, but I couldn't get through. I think

158
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 7: the show waited a few days, but I just wanted

159
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 7: to say thank you so much for stopping by and

160
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 7: saying Lord my dad at the Washington game. That was

161
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 7: just a huge There's been a lot of talk of

162
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 7: a journey over destination and that was just you know,

163
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 7: something I'll never forget and my dad and I'll never forget.

164
00:07:34,120 --> 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 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: It started with you guys. I mean that the generosity

166
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: to give tickets to somebody and do it, do it

167
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: through this show, and do it through this show, which

168
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: was really fun and I appreciate that. I know Chris

169
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: does as well and so and then also to have

170
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, such good seats where you could just walk

171
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: down to where we were. It's not like you were

172
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: way up high. I mean, you guys had really good

173
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: seats right by the tunnel. It was really good. So

174
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: it started with you guys. I mean that that was

175
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: just an amazing gesture. And then it was cool that

176
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: we were able to kind of do that and connect

177
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: to some more fans from storyline. That was really neat.

178
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: So it was great. It was It was just as

179
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: much fun for us to meet you guys as it

180
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: was maybe the other way around. I really appreciate it.

181
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 6: So, oh that's awesome. Yeah, it was fun.

182
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 7: Uh the text it was mark a bit, yeah Philly

183
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 7: during the playoff game, just commiserating and yeah, but so

184
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 7: thankful that we got to do that.

185
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: That was awesome. I don't want to play I don't

186
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: want to play trivia with him, you know. I mean

187
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: like I thought I had a stumper and he was

188
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: just like that was something else. Yeah, so I had

189
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: no idea.

190
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 7: My dad had no idea too, he wouldn't have gotten it.

191
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: So it's good.

192
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 7: But yeah, for to go through the season, you know,

193
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 7: I probably listened to this show more than I watched

194
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 7: the Cowboys play, you know, just five hours a week

195
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 7: of content. So very thankful for all they all due,

196
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 7: thank you and keeping it going after a tough loss

197
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 7: like that. My My only question is I thought Zavian

198
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 7: Howard got released, and I've I've listened to a few

199
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 7: shows now I took a break. When I'm back at

200
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 7: David Howard's release, is it would it be worth looking

201
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 7: at him and maybe letting go of Gilmore and trying

202
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 7: to get I mean he's a little younger, more expensive,

203
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 7: but a better long term option. Have you given that

204
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 7: any thought? And with that, I'll let.

205
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: That's good, that's good question. I mean that they Gilmore

206
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: is going to be an interesting, you know, uh situation

207
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: because they he played well. I mean, there's no doubt

208
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, he played well. They traded a

209
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, they got him, and he did he

210
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: did a nice job. He got hurt, and I thought

211
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: and I think his value was unfortunately was seen at

212
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: the end there. You know, when when he when he

213
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: got hurt, he wasn't the same player, and I think

214
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay definitely took advantage of that. But you know,

215
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: he's going he's he had surgery on his shoulder and

216
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: so it's going to be a little bit before he

217
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: comes back. I think that's going to affect his market.

218
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: I would think affects the market. So we'll see what

219
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: happens with him. You know, he's also he's also tied

220
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: closely to Brandon Cooks. I mean those two is other

221
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: than them being on the field, you don't see them

222
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: apart that much. I mean Brandon Cooks, Stefan Gilmore I

223
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: mean I think I think you know, Gilmore would like

224
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: to be here. I assume Cooks would be. He's got

225
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: another year under his on his contract. So but but

226
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: to what you're asking, can you get better there? Can

227
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: you get better than than than Gilmore at that spot?

228
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: You know Diggs is coming back, So what's what's the role?

229
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: I you know, this team needs a lot and I

230
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: don't know if if signing a corner, a veteran corner

231
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: who's just been released and and for contract reasons, I

232
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: don't know if that's your best play. I mean, think

233
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: about it now, when when free agency hits, you've got

234
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: starters that are that are not going to be there.

235
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you're free agency. You have a

236
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: left tackle who's a free you have a running back,

237
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: two running backs free agent, center free agent, and so

238
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: when free agency starts, you could lose some of these

239
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: guys to other teams. At corner, you've got Gilmour and

240
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, but you've got Diggs, and you've got Duran Bland,

241
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: and then you've got some other younger guys as well.

242
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know if it's a suppressing I like

243
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: where you're thinking though, you know, upgrade from that position.

244
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: But for the money, I don't know. I think you

245
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: could maybe get Gilmour on a good deal bringing back.

246
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: You have to rehab him, but I think he's a

247
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: veteran that that would that would be just fine to

248
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: start whenever he's ready. So it's that's an interesting position.

249
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: It's you've got guys, but you also one of your

250
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: guys is coming back from injury. You know, I do

251
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: you have question marks there? I don't know if they

252
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: make that big a splash, but you know something something

253
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: along those lines sounds good to me. All right, I

254
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: got a text question here from the two one four numbers,

255
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: so right here in the Dallas area, says, do you

256
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: expect the player to be all in this year? Do

257
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: you do they have to set the market or are

258
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: they willing to share the pie? And sure, this is

259
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: a reference to the salary cap that went up quite considerably,

260
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: I believe almost was it thirty million? So I don't

261
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: necessarily think that helps the Cowboys. I think it might

262
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: help a little bit to get some guys under contract

263
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. But in terms of market though, you still

264
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: have teams that have a lot more money than you,

265
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: And what happens is when teams have a lot of

266
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: money and then it gets even bigger. That's where the

267
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: contracts will get bigger. It'll be out of control a

268
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: little bit. So I don't know if it helps the

269
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: Cowboys that much. I think you're going to see a

270
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of big deals, big contracts this year. And Chris

271
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: actually sent this for me, all right, So it did

272
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: increase thirty point six million to two hundred and fifty

273
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: five point four million dollars. It helps teams kind of

274
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: function a little bit, but it doesn't help them compete

275
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: with a lot of teams that are you know, now

276
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: you could really throw some money around, and so I

277
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: don't but I don't think the players are going to

278
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: be all in from that standpoint. If you're if that,

279
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: if you're asking, is Dak and CD and Micah willing

280
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: to be all in and kind of take a little

281
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: bit less to share. No, No, that that that doesn't happen,

282
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: not not with the second contract for for Micah and

283
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: CD and and and nor should it in Dak. This

284
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: is third country. But is this still he's still in

285
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: the prime of his career where he can get, you know,

286
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: the biggest contract that he's ever had too. So those

287
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: three guys know it's setting the market for them is

288
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: way more important than it is to you know, sharing

289
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: the play. You just don't see that very often, Tom Brady,

290
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: I think, did it. You don't see a lot of

291
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: other people that really do that. All right, let's go

292
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: to Brian in Kansas City.

293
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 8: Good afternoon, sir.

294
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: How you doing?

Speaker 8: I'm doing good? Man, I did not catch the very

00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,920

298
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: mention that. But he's doing pretty good. Probably listening right now. No,

299
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: he's doing he's doing fine.

300
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 8: I couldn't remember. I was gonna say it by his nickname,

301
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 8: but I remember what his nick What do you call him?

302

Speaker 1: He goes by? Yeah, he goes by. It's the stage name, really,

303
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: doctor doctor Sunshine.

304
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 8: So doctor Sunshine is he's from Florida? Right?

305
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: No, No, he's just because he's always smiling, He's not

306
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: from Florida.

307
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 8: I thought he was in Florida when he called.

308
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: Forth. Okay, yeah, for Worth needs some sunshine too. Absolutely,

309

Speaker 1: what do you got well?

310
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 8: So I wanted to ask a couple of you know,

311
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 8: also kind of in conjunction with the cap going up,

312
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 8: A couple of questions about different roster scenarios, and then

313
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 8: of course I got a I got an old time cowboy.

314
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: For you, all right?

315
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 8: So, uh so one, I guess my first question is,

316
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 8: you know, there was a little bit of a debate

317
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 8: before this happened, before it went up way more than expected. Uh,

318
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 8: there was a little bit of a debate, is you know,

319
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 8: because McCarthy on a one year deal, would they view

320
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 8: would they think about keeping dak to just this year

321
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 8: and saying, let's just play it out, see how you do.

322
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 8: And I, you know, I didn't think it was realistic before.

323
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 8: Now maybe from a financial point, you know, I was like,

324
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 8: he's an awful good quarterback. You know, we remember the

325
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 8: Quincy Carter, you know, we remember eras without without a quarter,

326
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 8: without a starting quarterback and kind of cringe. So but

327
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 8: I just didn't think it was financially possible. They just

328
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 8: didn't think they could do it. Now they could, So

329
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 8: I'm curious. And the other person is do you think

330
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 8: they'll move on from Galvin? I kind of want to

331
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 8: know what would you do? And then what do you

332
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 8: think the Cowboys are going to do. And then my

333
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 8: old time cowboy is Montrey Holland. So he played just

334
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 8: a couple of years as a backup until twenty ten.

335
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 8: He had a he had a little bit of a

336
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 8: run as a starter that year. And anyway, just anything

337
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 8: you had on him, man, and I'll hang up and listen,

338
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 8: have a great day.

339
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: Thanks, thanks for the call of Brian. Chris knows why

340
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm laughing. Yeah, Mantre Holland. Man, he's one of my favorites.

341
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: I can't even say it with a straight face. Yeah,

342
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: we got we got a song about him that we

343
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: would sing. But uh no, I mean he's a good dude.

344
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean he was a really good guy. I think

345
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: I told this story one time on the show that

346
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: I accidentally sent a text message to him. I had

347
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: a picture of my daughter at a Disney event and

348
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: that she had all kinds of Disney stuff on frozen,

349
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and I sent a picture I was

350
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: supposed to send to my mom, but it got sent

351
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: to Montre Holland. I don't know if he ever never

352
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: responded to it. I don't know if he liked it

353
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: or not. I just thought that was weird, I mean,

354
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: very opposite. I think of my mom. But yeah, good guy.

355
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: He knows how to party for sure, and that don't

356
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: know that firsthand. That's just part of the song. I'm

357
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: gonna leave it at that. That's not that's not even

358
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: the guy. That's not even the right guy. I don't know, Chris,

359
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: while you're throwing that in there, I don't think I

360
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: was talking about it. But yeah, basically, what I'll say

361
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: is is that there was a sports writer. One time

362
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: we were sitting I'm gonna I'm not gonna tell the

363
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: whole song, but we were sitting there at training camp

364
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: and it was going it was the song by Tupac

365
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: California Knows how to Party, and somebody, somebody next to

366
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: me changed the lyrics to Montre Holland because he just

367
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: got named the starter. So Montrey Holland is now the

368
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: starter and keeps on blocking. I'm just gonna leave it

369
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: at that, all right. Michael Gallup, will Michael Gallup? What

370
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: will I do? What would I do? This was tough,

371
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know I am about Michael Gallup. I

372
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with with with him being there.

373
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: I think he makes plays when when he's when it's time.

374
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: He doesn't make enough, though, to warrant the contract. So

375
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make a move, you've got to make

376
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: him a post June one cut. You don't have to

377
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: cut him on June one, but you don't get the

378
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: money that you save until then. But it splits up,

379
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: it splits up the the contract a little bit. So

380
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: so basically with with that, you know, I think that

381
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: that gallup. I think you save about six million if

382
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: you if you make him a post June one cut,

383
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: and that probably makes more sense because if you don't,

384
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna you're gonna save like one hundred dollars or something.

385
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like very very even. And you know,

386
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: for him to be the fourth receiver, but it doesn't

387
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: play special teams. If they feel like Tolbert's gonna just

388
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: take onto that, that's fine. I kind of like that

389
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: better because I don't think I want Tolbert on special teams.

390
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, let's let's be honest. He's a

391
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: receiver because when he was out there, they throw two

392
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: fakes at him. I mean, that's not really his thing,

393
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: so he can focus on just being a receiver probably

394
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: makes more sense. That's what I think I would do

395
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: I have to make him a post June one cut

396
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: if they decide to do that. But you know, he's

397
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna be good for somebody. I mean, maybe not at

398
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: that price, but you know, he runs good routes, he

399
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: makes some catches I'm talking about Gallup, makes some some

400
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: contested catches, he makes sideline plays, doesn't cause any issues

401
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: in the locker room. He just kind of does his thing,

402
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: and he'd be a good third or fourth receiver for somebody,

403
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: probably just not here. All right, let's go to uh

404
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: actually the lines are open right now, both lines open,

405
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: so uh, let's let's let's make this happen. But the

406
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: first question that that Brian was talking about was Dak

407
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I still think they're going to They're

408
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: going to do enough, you know, to make a move

409
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: with his contract to save some money on this cap.

410
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that they'll be in for you know,

411
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: three to four more years, but I think they're gonna

412
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna figure out a way to keep him for

413
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: the next you know, next couple of years for sure,

414
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: and also at a price that you know they're gonna

415
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be competitive. I mean this they

416
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: got one the head coach here has one year left

417
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: on his deal. I mean, he's going to be competitive.

418
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: This isn't gonna be one where let's just wait it

419
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: out and then have more money after. They're gonna try

420
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: to win. And Jerry said they're gonna go all in.

421
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what all end means to Jerry, you know,

422
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: but I do think that they're gonna try to make

423
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: a play. You know, we'll see if they act differently

424
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: in free agency this year. All right, let's go to actually,

425
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: before we get to the next call, I do want

426
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: to read this text message. This is from Mike in Boston.

427
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: As a media member, does it ever frustrate the hell

428
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: out of you when a person like Jimmy Johnson makes

429
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: the joke about being on Jerry Jones advisory board. He

430
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: was literally laughing as he said it, and it was

431
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: led led to the news of most of the national media,

432
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: and of course they were bad mouth and Jerry saying

433
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: that he's so desperate he needs Jimmy Johnson's advice after

434
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: all these years, just as to drive you nuts that

435
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: stories are covered accurately, probably inaccurately, is what he's saying.

436
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: That's part of the game. I mean, that's that's what happens.

437
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 8: You know.

438
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: You got to remember everyone's got an agenda, you know, Jimmy,

439
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jimmy said I didn't. I think

440
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: it was more tongue in cheek a little bit. I

441
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he said anything about I didn't hear

442
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: the part about advisory board. I just think he said there.

443
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's in the fold and with them,

444
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: and they're good and they discuss things and and all that,

445
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: and I think all that's fine. You know, let's be

446
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: honest about it. I mean, Jimmy was the head coach

447
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: of the team and Jerry was the owner and general manager,

448
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: and they won two Super Bowls and and they couldn't

449
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: figure it out. So I mean, I don't think he's

450
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: going to be That was when he was the actual

451
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: head coach. So I don't you know, maybe Jerry should

452
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: have been leaning on Jimmy a little bit more, or

453
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy on either way. I mean, I don't even know

454
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: all that went. Now. My point is is that I

455
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: don't think this is one where he's on speed dial

456
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: and he's asking Jimmy for advice. I don't think that's

457
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: that's the case. I just think they're they're in good

458
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: they're in a good situation, better than they've ever been

459
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: evident by him being in the Ring of Honor? Does

460
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: it bother me when this other I mean, all these

461
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: other stuffing, that's that's, that's part of it. I mean,

462
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: things get spun all the time for headlines. I mean,

463
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: how many times have you clicked on a story where

464
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: it says something, you know, cowboys sign this running back,

465
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, and you're you're clicking on it, and you're like, who,

466
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, who are they getting?

467
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 4: You know?

468
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: And it's it's some you know, third year guy whatever

469
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: to an exclusive rights deal, and it's part of it.

470
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: It's part of the deal, and everyone it happens all

471
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: the time. This one doesn't really doesn't really bother me.

472
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Jeff in North Carolina.

473
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: What's going on?

474
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: Hey man, how are you doing?

475
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: I'm doing pretty good?

476
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 4: How about you?

477
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: Said? Great? Great?

478
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: I listened to you yesterday on talking Cowboys and was

479
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: asking what what do you think would be a risk

480
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 2: a risky thing that they would do? And I thought

481
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: that if they if instead of extending DAK and they

482
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: re restructure him, and push more turn you know, convert

483
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: his fallery into Simon bows and push it in the

484
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: next year. I think that could be risky because you know,

485
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: I've heard Brian Brought to say, you know, if Dak

486
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 2: becomes a free agent next year, whether it be from

487
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: restructure or or they just let his contracts stay, where

488
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 2: he thinks Dak will be gone. He thinks, you know

489
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: that Dak will we'll leave, and that could be really

490
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: you know, I could I thought, well, that might could

491
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: be risky, you know, you know, but it's gonna see

492
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: what you thought about that. And also I was going

493
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: if you have story on uh, the late great Golden Richards.

494
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: I seen where he died over the weekend and and

495
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: uh and uh. I will hang up and let you let.

496
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 9: You talk about that. Man.

497
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: Good talking to you. Good stuff as always. You know,

498
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: it's anything you do when you when you're talking about

499
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: fifty nine, sixty million, seventy million, whatever, I mean, even

500
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: if they cut it to a Measley forty million, you know,

501
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's risky. I mean, it's risky at

502
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: any any spot here. So yeah, I you know, I

503
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: still think, you know, for every rock party that that's

504
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: a success story. Think about how many seventh round picks

505
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have drafted, or any team is drafted that

506
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: you would want to play for you, or any undrafted

507
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: free agent or whatever. You know, I mean Brock Party,

508
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, I mean even Tony Romo. It took three

509
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: or four years, you know. So it's risky if you

510
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: don't go that route. You can say that, just say

511
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with a cheap quarterback and we'll win,

512
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: and it doesn't really work. It doesn't. It doesn't work

513
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: that way, you know. And the forty nine ers had

514
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: a loaded roster around him. And I'm not saying he's

515
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: a he's not worthy. He's a really good quarterback. I

516
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: mean he's really good Rock Party. I think he's outstanding.

517
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: My point is that there's risk anywhere you go. If

518
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: you say I'm not paying the dak fifty nine million,

519
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna go get someone cheaper. Good luck, good luck.

520
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: We've seen that. We've seen that happen, you know. They

521
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: we've seen the Cowboys move on from Tray and we

522
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: saw that good luck. So there's risk anywhere you slice it.

523
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: Golden Richards, Yes, he did pass away this weekend, you know,

524
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: he obviously played before I was, you know, really before

525
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: I was more. I mean maybe when I was one

526
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: or two he was playing. But I think seventy eight

527
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: was his last year. You know, I honestly was surprised

528
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: at one time when I looked at his stats and

529
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: realized that they weren't like that great. I thought he

530
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: was like a like superstar. I really did, because he

531
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: made big plays. He's one of those guys that had

532
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: some clutch catches touchdowns. Of course, he called one in

533
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, So I kind of I kind of

534
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: always thought growing up that he was one of the

535
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: legend type guys. But but he was, you know, he

536
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: was more of a role player. But but he had

537
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: some great plays and and you know, I mean is

538
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, he had the name and his hair and

539
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: all that. The thing, the thing for me that I

540
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: knew more about him is because in nineteen eighty three,

541
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: they had another receiver number eighty three named Doug Donnelly

542
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: who also had long blonde hair and he was a

543
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: receiver and it was flowing out the back of his

544
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 1: helmet and all that, just like he was like the

545
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: next Golden Richards. Well it turned out he wasn't you know,

546
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: he wasn't that great. He didn't play for that long.

547
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: But that's kind of what I knew of Golden Richards

548
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: was more about what I had heard and saw from

549
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: from Doug Donnelly. But still, you know, you know, just

550
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: another sad loss for the Cowboys nation and for you know,

551
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: a great player like Golden Richards. Right, let's move to Daniel.

552
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: He's in Greensboro, North Carolina. Daniel, you're with us? What's up?

553
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 8: Man?

554
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 10: Yes, Hey, I still have a comment and I want you,

555
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 10: you know, I kind of want to get your thoughts

556
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 10: on it. But I'm a I'm a huge, huge Dack fan,

557
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 10: huge Cowboys fan, and I do believe that, you know,

558
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 10: we should do do what we have to do to

559
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 10: extend him. Hopefully he takes you know, maybe a little

560
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 10: haircut or whatever, but you know, getting him a stand

561
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 10: of so that we can lower the captain number. But

562
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 10: I think the the biggest elephant in the room that

563
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 10: the Cowboys need to get back to is the offensive line.

564
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 10: That is the one position group that can affect the

565
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 10: entire team. There there there are no other top tier

566
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 10: quarterbacks that are asked to do more to me than

567
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 10: Dak when it comes to having to deal with a

568
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 10: team that's the most penalized, that that can't stop the run,

569
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 10: that can't run the ball, whenever it's needed, you know,

570
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 10: he he has to deal with that. Whenever Patch Maholmes

571
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 10: doesn't have to deal with that, whenever Jackson doesn't have

572
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 10: to deal with that, whenever these top line quarterbacks does,

573
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 10: you know, never has to deal with all these things

574
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 10: happening at once in the playoffs, over and over. Now

575
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 10: he has to play better, of course, But you know,

576
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 10: but fishing fishing our offensive line at center, and I

577
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 10: believe that left tackle, I know, Tyron Smith is gonna

578
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 10: be cheap, but I need somebody that can maul people,

579
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 10: that can they can get downhill, and they can run

580
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 10: the football, that helps run the game. Is gonna be cheap, cheaper,

581
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 10: cheaper than then on the starting left tackles.

582
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, other than other than starting left tackles,

583
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: right right, other than yeah, right, yes, but yes, but

584
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: not cheap. But but yeah, I mean, you're right, he

585
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: gets he gets probably will get a discount considering that

586
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: he was a second team All Pro, But I don't

587
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: think it will be that cheap, you know.

588
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 10: Right, right, But at the same time, you know, we

589
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 10: all know that. You know, we had a lot of

590
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 10: all pros this year based on the numbers, But to me,

591
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 10: some of that had something that had something to do

592
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 10: with the star and not helping as well, because for instance, yes,

593
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 10: Darron Bland for instance, with all Pro, but he also

594
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 10: gave up a lot as well, and so he had

595
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 10: an up and down here as well. But that's that's

596
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 10: not the point of of my call. My call is

597
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 10: I think we should double dip.

598
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 8: If we have to.

599
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 10: H in the drafted offensive line fits fits the middle

600
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 10: of our defense, but help our quarterback out. He can't

601
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 10: carry all all the nonsense that happens with all the

602
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 10: penalties and can't stop the run, and and you know,

603
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 10: to me, no other quarterback has to deal with all

604
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 10: of that mess. On top of I love Jerry Jones,

605
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 10: but on top of all of the stuff that comes

606
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 10: with that, you know, no other quarterback has to deal

607
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 10: with that. And if you fits the offensive line, you

608
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 10: can help the rest of the team and you can

609
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 10: create start start back to start, starting, back, to get

610
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 10: in identity and creating a culture in the locker room.

611
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 10: Whatever you fish. The offensive line, to me, that's the

612
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 10: biggest need, and I don't care if we have a

613
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 10: double dip. We'll go all in in our front seven

614
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 10: on both sides of the ball. You know, we have

615
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 10: to do something with that.

616
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: Daniel, your first time caller, first time caller.

617
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 10: But I've been listening to you all the way back

618
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 10: to Cowboys Break and before, so this is the first

619
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 10: time I heard that I've been able to get through.

620
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: All Right, there we go. Well, we appreciate it for sure.

621
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Good good stuff, good insight as well.

622
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: I you know, I I'm agreeing with you and I

623
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: disagree at the same time. In on one level, Yes,

624
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Dak has to put up with a lot, and it's

625
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: not just on the field stuff. It's it's but it's

626
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: part of it when you're the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Yes,

627
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: there's penalty issues, lack of running game, defense had some

628
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: holes at times as well. But but like you said,

629
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: Dak has to play better. You know, I don't know

630
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: what I disagree with is. I don't know if other

631
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't have to deal with that either. I mean,

632
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to me is just on another level. He's

633
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: not even worth He's not even worth talking about in

634
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: terms of you know, comparing anything. You know, he would

635
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: like Dak's receivers over his. You know, I think he

636
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: would trade everything. If you said I'll take I'll trade everything.

637
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, you get the Chiefs receivers and they're tight end,

638
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys receivers in their tight end. That's a

639
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: tough one now with Kelsey involved, you know, now, the

640
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs pr would take Kelsey because I think he's driving

641
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: a lot more ratings for some reason. But I think

642
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: that from receiver tight end, you know, I mean, DA's

643
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: got it pretty good, you know, so, so I don't

644
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: know if I would agree with that that other quarterbacks

645
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with stuff. They all have to

646
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: deal with stuff. But but for the most part, I

647
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: agree with your premise. Get get better guys around him

648
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: and clean up some of the mess, clean up some

649
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: of the penalties, clean up some of that. You know,

650
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: give him a running game. That's really what it comes

651
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: down to. Give him a running game, which, like you said,

652
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: starts with the offensive line. And I'm fine with that too.

653
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: I'd be okay if they drafted offensive line once again,

654
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, if they drafted an alignment in the first

655
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: or second round for three or four or five years

656
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: in a row. That would be fine with me, you know,

657
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: because then you continue to have really good players up front.

658
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: And if you have good players up front and you

659
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: get you know, get the pressure off your quarterback, then

660
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: you can do some good things. So I'm totally fine

661
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: with that. All right, we got Robin Vegas.

662
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 10: Let's say, Nick, hey, Rob.

663
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 11: You know the last call that that's kind of one

664
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 11: of the reasons why I don't want to pay back

665
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 11: sixty million a year because you just rattled off.

666
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: He needs this, he needs help. Yeah. Yeah, I thought

667
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: about that when when I was saying that too, I

668
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: was just like, that's that's the double edged sword here

669
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: on this.

670
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 11: It's yeah, yeah, we talked about it's a bad investment.

671
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 11: There's only one right now, and that's the homes. Everybody

672
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 11: else is getting overpaid and not producing, and it's just

673
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 11: the way it is. But you know, I keep hearing

674
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 11: people talk about, well, if we don't extend, if we

675
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 11: don't do anything with Dak this year and he goes

676
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 11: out and he wins the Super Bowl, he may leave.

677
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

678
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 11: This guy has been putting up with the media for

679
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 11: his whole career, and now you're telling me when he

680
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 11: does something that hasn't been done in twenty nine years

681
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 11: or so, he's not going to stay and let everybody

682
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 11: kiss his butt. And I mean, of course he's going

683
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 11: to enjoy it all, never lead. Even if he gets

684
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 11: to the NFC Championship Game and god forbid we lose,

685
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 11: he would have done something that hasn't been done. So

686
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 11: I'm not going anywhere other than if he doesn't produce.

687
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: If Dak wins the Super Bowl, Jerry Jones is going

688
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: to give him three things. Number one a hug, number

689
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: two a check, and number three a pin. Okay, and

690
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: he can fill out that. If he wins a super Bowl, he.

691
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 11: Can run from mayor right. Yeah, that's why, you know.

692
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 11: I don't know why anybody would say that, Oh wait,

693
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 11: he would leave. There would be no way in the world. Yeah,

694
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 11: the only the only listen I know that you said

695
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 11: the cap went up thirty million. That's got to help somehow.

696
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: It does help. It helps you do some things, but

697
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: I just don't think it makes you now competitive to

698
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: go outbid people because everyone gets thirty million and they're

699
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: in a better situation than you are.

700
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 11: Correct, and let's be honest, Jerry Jones is not going

701
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 11: to do that.

702
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 9: He's going to spin it.

703
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 11: We got gigs and over shown coming back, so and

704
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 11: they pretty much we overshow didn't play at all. Dicks

705
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 11: played a couple of games, so that's gonna help.

706
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 8: And he's right.

707
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 11: If those guys come back and they all right and

708
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 11: needs the they're gonna help.

709
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: So he's gonna spin it like that.

710
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 11: They'll go get a linebacker like maybe a Bobby Wagner

711
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 11: or somebody. But they're not gonna spend twenty million a

712
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 11: year on a guy, and they'll get somebody in the

713
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 11: middle of the defensive line. No that they're probably not

714
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 11: going to get Chris Jones, but go get somebody. And

715
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 11: that's how he'll spin it. And if he's gonna do

716
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 11: it like that, I'm okay with that as long as

717
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 11: he leaves Jack alone, leave the contract with's ride it out,

718
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 11: ride it out, and let's see what what happens. Michael Gallup,

719
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 11: I mean, it's pretty much a foregone clip including he's

720
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 11: gonna be gone. And I like him. He says like

721
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 11: a cool dude, but like you said, he's just not

722
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 11: He doesn't justify the money.

723
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: Like when they drafted another third rounder in Jalen Tolbert

724
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: from his relatively small school like they did with Gallup.

725
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: No offense to Colorado will stay. It's not not Power five,

726
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: but it's not small school. But still they drafted a

727
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: third receiver. It's kind of, you know, Tolbert kind of

728
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: take it over as the next Galop.

729
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 11: They're kind of the same player. They're kind of the

730
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 11: same player right now. Maybe Tolbert he's even more on

731
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 11: an upswing, which is nice. Yeah, I mean, I just

732
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 11: don't see them. They're not Fanny fans. I think they're

733
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 11: gonna go out and just you know, go go pay

734
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 11: sake one Barkley twelve million dollars a time. That ain't happening.

735
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 11: That ain't happening. They'll go maybe four or five million

736
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 11: for a running back or they're draft one, which I'm

737
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 11: okay with because running backs, I hate to say it.

738
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 11: They used to be the you know, dominant position. Emmitt

739
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 11: Smith was my favorite player, but they're not anymore. You

740
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 11: get him out of you know, you're gonna run him

741
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 11: for five years and then you're gonna move on. So

742
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 11: but no, I I that ain't going nowhere. I hope

743
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 11: he wins the Super Bowl, and I hope they make

744
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 11: a mayor president. I don't care let him, you know,

745
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 11: but no, he's not leaving if he if he's successful.

746
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks for the call, Rob. I was always

747
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: appreciate that Chris had a good question. If he was

748
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: the mayor, I mean, if Risco, Arlington, Dallas, uh, you know, anywhere.

749
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, I might just want to be the governor.

750
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: Who knows. Sorry, I'm not trying to get political. I

751
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: just he could do whatever he wants if he wins

752
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and I think everyone would be fine

753
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: with that. I do disagree with one thing though, that

754
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: you said, Bruce. Sorry, Bruce is next. But to Rob,

755
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: I disagree a little bit. I think the Cowboys might

756
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: actually get one of those running backs. I could see

757
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: that happening. You know, there's four or five out there,

758
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: really about three. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys

759
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: go and do a move like that. I'm not saying

760
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: that they're all in move, but I think it's it's

761
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: a move that would be a little different than what

762
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: we've seen before, a little risky because there many running

763
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: backs or you know, they're always risky at this point.

764
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Dalvin Cook was one of the best in

765
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: the league like two years ago, and then he didn't

766
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: they didn't have a team. You know, He's kind of

767
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: bouncing around a little bit, so the drop off can

768
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: be quick. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys

769
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: spent considerable money for one of those backs. Remember I

770
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: mean last year. I mean they did the franchise tag

771
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: for Pollard, so there were ten. If it's up there

772
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: in the eleven to twelve range and for somebody who

773
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: thinks better, I could see them doing that. So that's

774
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: one thing. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys made

775
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: a move like that. All right, let's go to Bruce

776
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: and Houston. Hey, Bruce, it's been a minute.

777
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't listen to Rob. I got to my ear,

778
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: so I need to listen to your response. I hope

779
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: we won't disagree with me.

780
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: But no, he said. He said that he didn't think

781
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: they would go get a Barkley or Josh Jacobs or

782
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and spend twelve million or something like that.

783
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: He didn't think the Jerry's going to do that. In

784
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: this case, I wouldn't be surprised if they do. I mean,

785
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: they actually might. That might be the type of move

786
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: that they think could kind of help them. It wouldn't

787
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: surprise me if that happened.

788
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you for I do my back deal.

789
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: How close do you think they were making a trade

790
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: for Tennessee for Henry? Not really?

791
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: No, Actually I was told that they never called. Tennessee

792
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: never called, and the Cowboys never called, and it never

793
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: even came up. And I think I think the Titans,

794
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: remember now, nobody traded for him that everyone thought it

795
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: was going to happen. I think the Titans throughout of

796
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: compensation figures and draft picks and stuff so high that

797
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, everybody has its price, so it's like, oh,

798
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: they might trade Derrick Henry, and I'm sure they were

799
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: like yeah for three number ones and and you know

800
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: or whatever in their whoa, whoa whoa. So I think

801
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee squashed all of that, right, and.

802
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 3: It makes sense, and you can't blame them, you know,

803
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 3: ask for the moon, right and see what happens. But yeah,

804
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: nobody's going to give that to a thirty plus year

805
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 3: o running back up.

806
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: Remember this, they loved their coach Rabel. They I mean

807
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: they did, they did part ways with him, but they

808
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: wanted him to be successful. They wanted it to work.

809
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: He's a likable guy. You know, he's fire, he's tough,

810
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: he's kind of got that Dan Campbell type who's a player.

811
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: They wanted him to have success. So if you really

812
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: want it to work out, you're not going to trade

813
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: your best player, you know, and so if and then

814
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: you're not going to win games, and then you're going

815
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: to fire him and then somebody else gets to win

816
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, so you know, it didn't seem

817
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: to make a lot of sense, even though media was

818
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: thrown it out there that he was all but gone,

819
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: but it didn't really work out like that.

820
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 4: Yeah.

821
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 3: Well, and I get to I think you know, all

822
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: chips in as we've been saying.

823
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 6: Look, would you would you?

824
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 3: What do you think the betting nods that McCarthy is

825
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 3: extended after this year fifty percent? Are are even lower?

826
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm just asking, but what.

827
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: Are the odds that they win the Super Bowl or

828
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: go to the NFC Championship game?

829
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: But you know, if that happens, and that's I think,

830
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 3: if if Dallas would this year was the perfect scenario,

831
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 3: being the number two seed and they you know, poo

832
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 3: pooed their way in there. But if they'd at least

833
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 3: gotten to the championship game and say they lost, I

834
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: guess depends on how they lost. He threw three picks

835
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 3: for two for pick six, and yeah, you still be

836
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: mad at Dak, But if at least they got there,

837
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 3: I've been okay extending McCarthy and you still may be

838
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: in the same boat with the new defensive coordinator.

839
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 6: Which I think they've gotten better.

840
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 3: Quinn was more about getting to the qb instead of

841
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: stopping the running back. I think we can see right

842
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: the opposite with Zimbra there stopped the run and then

843
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: you can still get to the quarterback. But that'll be,

844
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 3: you know, depending on what the seed. But with Dak,

845
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 3: I've been watching him since he come from Mississippi, you

846
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 3: know state so and great great fan is but you

847
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 3: just can't he's not worth forty million, I'm sorry, And

848
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 3: Dallas seems to do that a lot. Hey, good players

849
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: great what great players get paid? And instead of vice.

850
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Versa hold on real quick words, let me ask you this, well,

851
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: let's do it in a different way. Is he is

852
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: he is he among the top ten quarterbacks in the

853
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: league in your opinion? Top ten?

854
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say top okay, not top.

855
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: Five, not top five, that's fine, top ten. So that

856
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: being said, then I wouldn't get caught up in he's

857
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: not worth this or not worth that. I mean, you

858
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: and me, like we all, we can say that about anybody,

859
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 1: right So but my point, my point is is that

860
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: does he does? He don't ask is he worth this much? Say?

861
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: Is he worth fair to be fairly compensated? Is he

862
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: should he be?

863
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 5: You know?

864
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: And I think he is. And it's just a cycle.

865
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: He was number two is paid quarterback for about a

866
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: week and then before you know it, he's fifteenth or

867
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, like.

868
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: These quarterbacks, they.

869
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: Just keep they just keep doing that. So it's his.

870
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 3: H But here's another question. Someone said some stature of

871
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 3: today he's he's still up there on the most age quarterback,

872
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 3: even more than Kirk Cousins. You know how many times

873
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 3: he got franchised. My question is, look, I don't care

874
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 3: if to make a hundred million, It ain't my money,

875
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 3: it's sarious money. But but my point is is you

876
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 3: just can't. You can't best even more long term with

877
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 3: what this team needs defensively to a guy that plays

878
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 3: great in the regular season and only against mediocre SOL teams.

879
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,479
Speaker 3: Because of all the teams that were good that made

880
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year, we didn't win one of them,

881
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 3: except for maybe Philadelphia, maybe the Rams. You could include

882
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 3: them in there. But you know what I'm saying, that's

883
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 3: just get it.

884
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: I get it. It's it's a tough one. It's a

885
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: tough one because and Bruce, thanks for the call. Is

886
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: you have anything else you will, no, just have a

887
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: good day.

888
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 4: I like that.

889
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: I know the work, I really do.

890
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 7: But but at.

891
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: Some point you got to either no. I know, I

892
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 3: would hopefully if they go all in, if they can

893
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 3: adjust his contract to where because if they blow it

894
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 3: again this year, well then Jerry's gonna have I don't

895
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 3: care if he's ninety two, he's gonna have to blow

896
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: it up and start over with a new coach and

897
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 3: he's gonna want a new quarterback and he can't blame

898
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 3: him for that.

899
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: So Nick, all right, thanks for I mean, like, there's

900
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: so many fans that that probably have that same mentality

901
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: right there, as as in, Bruce, you know the same thing,

902
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: or like you really like that, and you respect him

903
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: and you want him to do well. You just wanted

904
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: him to play, you know, play better, especially at those

905
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: times in the playoffs. But he said something interesting of

906
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: with all the help we need on defense, how do

907
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 1: you do this? And that's kind of the point. That's

908
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: why they will do something with it, because they do

909
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: need all this help, and the best way to get

910
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: more help is to work with him in his contract,

911
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: and not only him, but CD and Micah. If they

912
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: can get all three of these guys done, they actually

913
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: can save a lot more money. It sounds like there's

914
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be any any pie left, you know, for

915
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: anyone else, but in reality, there will be even more

916
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: because of the way they structure these deals and they

917
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: can do some things right now now With Micah, I

918
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: think definitely. With CD Micah, I'm still I'm still not

919
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: to the point where you know, I'd be fine with

920
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: him long term. I think he's a great player. I

921
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: know that he has people have some concerns there, but

922
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: I think, you know, these are the type of guys

923
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: that you know you can still win with and you're

924
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna win with for a long time. Dak's a little

925
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: bit different, but I still think all three of them

926
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: can help you be more competitive and being that all

927
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: in stage by getting deals done with them. All right,

928
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: let's go to Arthur. Is he still on the line,

929
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: Arthur in Spring Texas?

930
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 4: Yep, yep, sir, I am here.

931
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? How are you?

932
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 4: I'm doing okay? You know I grew up playing football.

933
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 4: I mean I played in it at the high school level.

934
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 4: Position played just about every position on the defense. Started

935
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 4: off at offensive guard and then went to knows guard

936
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 4: and ended up at cornnebacker.

937
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: No, I was going to say, all right, what do

938
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: you think? What do you think?

939
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 5: Arthur?

940
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 4: Okay? At first I was kind of wondering about that

941
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 4: in this whole contract situation, I really think that that

942
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 4: wants to be here for the remainder of his career.

943
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 4: Now that being said, that compromise was going to have

944
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 4: to be made, not only on the Cowboys, but but

945
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 4: definitely on that phone. I used to think that I

946
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 4: really understood football, But after watching the podcast and listening

947
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 4: to different shows, I realized that, man, the whole game

948
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 4: has jumped right you from away from me. And there's

949
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 4: aspects about aspects about contracts I don't understand I don't

950
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 4: even understand contracts and free agency at all. But to

951
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 4: keep from getting front off in another direction, I thought,

952
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 4: I put you a text the other day and I

953
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 4: add that if that leads, what team do you think

954
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 4: he could go to and have an immediate impact on

955
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 4: that team where he's playing good enough to get them

956
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 4: to the super Bowl? And I kind of answered my

957
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 4: own question after I sent it, and I don't think

958
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 4: there's any other team out that because all of the

959
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 4: teams who had good quarterbacks were in the they advanced

960
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 4: into in the playoffs. Yeah, so you know, I kind of,

961
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: like I said, I kind of answered my own question

962
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 4: with that. But I'm just I'm and everybody's already addressed.

963
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 4: I need. We know we need a linebacker. We know

964
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 4: we need to sure up the offensive line. We know

965
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 4: we have to do something about the D line. As

966
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: far as controlling the rum, I just don't know or

967
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 4: feel a way that they can get a few quality

968
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 4: players to plug into these positions. Uh, Tony College, I

969
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 4: don't think when there was talk about about picking up Barkley,

970
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 4: I can't see where Barkley makes a difference in comparison

971
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 4: to Tony Powell. I really feel as know that Tony Power

972
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: got put in a no win situation last year. I

973
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 4: don't know.

974
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about that one, Arthur. I see a

975
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: different player. I see a different player. I see a

976
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: different player, I do. I see a different player, see

977
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: a different body type I see. I see a little

978
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: bit more of a three down running back. I know

979
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: he's been banged up. He didn't play seventeen games like

980
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: Tony Poler did. I think you got to give credit

981
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: to Tony Pollard for his body size to play that

982
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: many games and to be as durable as he's been.

983
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,479
Speaker 1: I do give Tony credit from there. But I see

984
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: a different I see a different back.

985
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 4: Honestly, so well, that's really all that I had. I

986
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 4: didn't really have a course in perthe it was.

987
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: Just the well, I appreciate it. Thanks for the call, Arthur,

988
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: and I actually i'll speak to something that you said.

989
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: I'll still I know you're not on the line, but

990
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: I'll say this to you. Don't sell yourself short on

991
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: not knowing the game like you used to or whatever. Football. Yes,

992
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: it evolves, but it also evolves in a cycle. There's

993
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: going to be a time where where you know you'll

994
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: see a lot more running. We're kind of seeing a

995
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: little bit of it now. Teams, you still need to

996
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: run the football. It hasn't changed for when you played it, really.

997
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you got the biggest guys up front

998
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: and you can push people around, you can still win

999
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: football games. It's the same when you played in high school.

1000
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: It's the same now. Those six A teams in high

1001
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: school can beat any two A, three eighteen. Probably there

1002
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: is because they just got bigger guys. Has it changed

1003
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: that much. Yes, it's evolved and it's going to continue.

1004
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: It'll be a cycle thing, like I said, But you know,

1005
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: you understood the game when you played it. You still

1006
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: understand it now. It's changed a little bit. Not knowing

1007
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: the money in the salary cap. I mean, I'm you know,

1008
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: I've been covering this team for twenty six years. I

1009
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: barely have a decent grasp about the salary cap. I

1010
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: understand how it works. Then it's really no different. I mean,

1011
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: it's you give everyone the same amount of money, you know,

1012
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: and now you give everyone the same It's just it's

1013
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: just like painting a picture. Everyone has a canvas, everyone

1014
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: has the same brush, and everyone has the same paints.

1015
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: But it's still gonna look different for how how they

1016
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 1: do it and how but you know, so you're giving

1017
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: everyone the same type of materials. It's just how do

1018
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: they you know, do they what do they do with

1019
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: it when it's here? And so some teams are a

1020
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: lot more creative than the others. And I think the

1021
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys have done a really good job with their salary cap.

1022
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: But they also have great players. When you have nine

1023
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers, ten Pro Bowlers or whatever they ended up having,

1024
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to pay those guys, So it's

1025
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: not it's not easy. I means you have to draft well,

1026
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: and they've done a pretty good job of that too.

1027
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: All right, Erwin and.

1028
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 10: Denver, Hey Nick, what's going on?

1029
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: Hey Erin? How you doing?

1030
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 9: I'm doing great, little snowy up here today. But so

1031
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 9: what Anyway, I just wanted to make a couple of

1032
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 9: comments and if you know, people can kind of think

1033
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 9: back about the Cowboys, the history of the Cowboys. What

1034
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,959
Speaker 9: was a couple of things was always really good about

1035
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 9: the Cowboys was their running games, you know, their offensive

1036
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 9: line and their defensive line. And I'm just kind of

1037
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 9: really hoping that the Cowboys, somehow, some way are able

1038
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 9: to draft that center from Oregon Jackson Power Johnson, uh possibly,

1039
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 9: you know, get a running back. I think the other

1040
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 9: run the running back from Oregon. So and then just

1041
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 9: to touch quickly on free agency and running back. I

1042
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 9: like the guy from Oakland Josh Jacobs, you know, and

1043
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 9: I agree with you. I thinks are probably going to

1044
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 9: go somewhere and get one of those running backs.

1045
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think they will this year.

1046
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1047
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: And it's a Jerry think about it. It's a Jerry

1048
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: type of move, it really is. It's a it's a

1049
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: it's a you know, getting well known players, you know,

1050
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: and maybe a little bit after you know that they've

1051
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: done what they what they're going to do, but you know,

1052
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: the running back market is going down, but yet they

1053
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: still got some some high profile names. It's just the

1054
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: type of moves I think the Cowboys will will would

1055
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: get would do this year.

1056
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree with that.

1057
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 9: And just to quickly touch bases real quick about Prescott,

1058
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 9: you know, I think he's a really good quarterback. I

1059
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 9: just wish that during the playoffs he would have one

1060
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 9: of those playoff games like he did a couple of

1061
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 9: years ago against the Buccaneers.

1062
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 4: But you know what, as.

1063
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 9: Far as his uh his uh, you know, his contract

1064
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 9: goes yuess he deserves it because that's what uh, that's

1065
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 9: what it dictates, you know, the price on the players.

1066
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 9: So yeah, the market dictates that. So yeah, anyway, I'll

1067
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 9: up and see what you got to say.

1068
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: Thanks her, all right. You know you mentioned that Tampa

1069
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: Bay playoff game. I think that game actually holds a

1070
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: little bit more water than you would think because, if anything,

1071
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: it shows that you can do it, you know, it

1072
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: shows you can do it on a big stage. It

1073
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: was a Monday night football playoff game and he's he's

1074
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: got Tom Brady on the other side, and you know,

1075
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: they went on the road and they went there, and

1076
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 1: he had one of the greatest games that any quarterbacks

1077
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: ever had in a postseason. I don't I don't know

1078
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: if there's been a I think it's four touchdown pass

1079
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: is in a rushing touchdown and seventy five completion or something.

1080
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of little stats involved there, but

1081
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: like nobody's ever done it in the playoffs. So it

1082
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: was one of those type of games and so and

1083
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: it was a big game. You know, I'm not going

1084
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: to sit here and be one of those people that says,

1085
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, only the losses were big games. When you win,

1086
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: it's not it doesn't matter. That was a huge game,

1087
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 1: and and you know, I think it just at least

1088
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: shows that it shows the Cowboys that he can do it.

1089
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: He can do it on a big stage, but he

1090
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: needs some help and he didn't have it in Green Bay.

1091
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: And he didn't play well either, so against Green Bay,

1092
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: so that you know that just it was a poor

1093
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: effort from everybody. But I think the fact that that

1094
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: he has done it two years ago at least sort

1095
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 1: of should help a little bit from from the Cowboys

1096
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: standpoint of knowing, you know, if they are paying him

1097
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: a lot of money, that you know, their belief that

1098
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: he can still get the job done when it counts.

1099
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: All right, Tony in Atlanta, next caller, probably last.

1100
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 6: Year, Hey, what's up there? Good afternoon, man. How I'm

1101
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 6: great about yourself?

1102
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: Great?

1103
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 6: Good, good, good good. So this is my fourth time

1104
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 6: calling for the music for that? Yeah, fourth time, nothing

1105
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 6: special for that, but I just keep it counting a while.

1106
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 6: But at any rate, at any rate, So a couple

1107
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 6: of things. One one comment on this whole all the

1108
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 6: end piece, uh, you know, with Clarence E. Hill Jr.

1109
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 6: That gentleman needs to give royalties every time somebody says

1110
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 6: all in, because being the professional journalist that he is,

1111
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 6: he is the one used the term all in, and

1112
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 6: Jerry just took it and ran with it and now

1113
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 6: it's on fire. So if somebody can get that man

1114
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 6: a royalty every time all in, it said, let's get it.

1115
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 6: Let's get that started.

1116
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 2: Man.

1117
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: You play poker?

1118
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 6: Uh three three card poker?

1119
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I mean that's the thing. I like this quick.

1120
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's a you know, catchy level term. But

1121
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: let's be honest about it. You go all in, you

1122
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: push your chips to the middle, and it's like I

1123
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: better get this ace on the river or I'm going

1124
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: home and I and I'm done with my money. I'm done.

1125
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: This is it. I'm all on this hand. Well that's

1126
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: not that's not what this is. This isn't all in, Okay.

1127
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they're gonna have a hand next year.

1128
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: I mean, so you know what I'm saying. Late, So

1129
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a nice thing to say, but but you know,

1130
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: unless they start trading next year's number ones. I said

1131
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: this on Talking Cowboys, you trade next year's number one

1132
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: and you start getting into next year to all go

1133
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: in for right now, that's my definition of all in.

1134
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: But just just getting them just you know, drafting someone

1135
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: or making a big trade and all that. I mean,

1136
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: I think it's next year's one. That's that's the type

1137
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: of all in move. It's not just going to get

1138
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: a running back that that that we've all had on

1139
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: our fantasy team at some point. I don't I don't

1140
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: think it's that.

1141
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 6: I agree, I agree, I agree, And you know, like

1142
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 6: you said, I mean, I like the Rams did a

1143
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 6: few years ago when they started talking about forget them

1144
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 6: picks and all that type stuff. That's that's kind of

1145
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 6: closer to all end. But I just don't see us

1146
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 6: doing things like that. My other thing, right quick, and

1147
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 6: this is no one's mentioned this, and I don't for

1148
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 6: this foresee this happening. But what's the likelihood you know,

1149
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 6: we're all just talk about extending Dak and extend Dak

1150
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 6: or you know, keep him at fifty nine whatever, what's

1151
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 6: the likelihood of Dak himself? Actually, you know how these

1152
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 6: guys do sometimes where their contract discussions going on, maybe

1153
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 6: not show up at OTA's or maybe not do.

1154
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 10: This, or not do that.

1155
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 6: I mean, because I mean his cap number fifty nine,

1156
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 6: his actual take home pay this year, you know, hadn't

1157
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 6: changed much. It's about twenty twenty five million or something

1158
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 6: like that. You know, the cap number is just because

1159
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,959
Speaker 6: of what's happening for the last PEP pushing everything back.

1160
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 6: But I just wondered, just for the sake of trying

1161
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 6: to get this contract thing moving, if there's any chance

1162
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 6: he might do something like that, like not show up

1163
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 6: or you know. I mean, I know something's a mandatory,

1164
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 6: but other tea that's not so. I just wonder what

1165
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 6: your thoughts.

1166
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a good question. It really is

1167
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: a good question. Thanks. Thanks for the call, Tony. I

1168
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: think take care to you. You know, a lot of

1169
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: guys do that. This is where this is where it

1170
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: gets difficult because Dak is not like a lot of

1171
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: other guys. I would say, you know, never say never,

1172
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: But this ain't happening like that. Dak's not doing that.

1173
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: He's not He's not gonna sit out like that. Now

1174
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: he might do something different. He might you know, not

1175
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: do as many media things or whatever it is. I mean,

1176
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: we've seen certain players do something like that when they're

1177
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: wanting a deal. You know, you don't say yes to

1178
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: everything in the organization that they're asking you. You know,

1179
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: there's a little things like that, but not practice, because

1180
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they all seem to

1181
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: come back. It's very very rare that like when you

1182
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: when you have a holdout, you know, it's really not

1183
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: a holdout until you start losing money and losing significant money,

1184
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: not just not just some fine money, but like game

1185
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: check type money. And that's not going to happen. So

1186
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: every player understands, Yeah, I can balk a little bit,

1187
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: but what does it help. Does it really help me

1188
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day to get here late

1189
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: and not and and then now everyone's messed up. The

1190
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: whole offense is not not on you know, on track,

1191
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: we're all out of sync because i was trying to

1192
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: make a stand but now I'm back and I'm down.

1193
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to play catch up and the season is

1194
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: about to start. That doesn't help anybody, So it doesn't

1195
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: make sense to do that. He might have his opinions

1196
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: about how things are done, but I don't think it

1197
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: will be at OTA and mini camp and those type

1198
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: of things, and even training camp. I don't see that

1199
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: that happening. That's not the type of person that he is.

1200
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: It's not the type of leader that he is. I

1201
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: just I would be very very surprised if that ever happened.

1202
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they'll figure something out, and I

1203
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: think he'll be you know, in good spirits, you know,

1204
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: because I think that they want to be competitive this year,

1205
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: and the best way to do that is to you know,

1206
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: restructure his contract, get these other two guys with, you know,

1207
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: with some extensions as well, and then they can get

1208
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: into free agency. That doesn't mean all three guys are

1209
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: going to be done, but I think they'll have a

1210
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: plan in place to be able to do that so

1211
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: this year. So it wouldn't surprise me if you get

1212
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: one of them done, Dak, and maybe another player, and

1213
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: then another one maybe in training camp as well, and

1214
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 1: really really have some money to function all year long

1215
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: as well. All right, great show, it's been an hour.

1216
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: We've had ten calls, good stuff, had a first time caller,

1217
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: had some of our veterans called, so really really good stuff.

1218
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. We will be on next well just

1219
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,440
