Speaker 1: I went to North Carolina as well. Opposite direction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I went west coast, you went east coast. What was
Speaker 1: who was the biggest name you ran into? The biggest name,
Speaker 1: the biggest name you ran into on Super Bowl because
Speaker 1: you were you were on radio road for a little bit.
Speaker 1: I met a lot of people. I was about to say,
Speaker 1: you were bouncing around. Um Man, where can I start?
Speaker 1: Um McNab, Brian Dawkins, Peanut Tillman, Warren Moon, Doug Williams,
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. That's a good one, especially in Glendale. Yeah, Man,
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, I just it was everywhere. I
Speaker 1: mean I went to a lot of former player events,
Speaker 1: you know, career affairs, networking events, legends events like so
Speaker 1: there was players all over the place. Man, But there was.
Speaker 1: There was guys everywhere, and everybody was so happy to
Speaker 1: see each other. You know, it's literally like a locker
Speaker 1: room feeling. Even though you might not have shared locker
Speaker 1: rooms with those guys, it was a locker room feeling.
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of X teammates from all over
Speaker 1: the place from my time here in Dallas from Seattle.
Speaker 1: I took a number of cowboys photos of Lusaka, Polite,
Speaker 1: m Evan Oglesby, Core Proctor. I mean, the list goes
Speaker 1: on and on. There's just a bunch of Proctor was
Speaker 1: going to be out there. Yeah, problem, that's my dog,
Speaker 1: that dude. But I mean there's just Nate Jones, Courtney Brown, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of great now. Courtney Brown's doing referee to
Speaker 1: Yeah he's been dragging him in. Yeah he's been. He's
Speaker 1: been recruiting. So it's just awesome, man, to see everybody
Speaker 1: in a positive light, everybody having a good time, no drama,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just just it's just cool, man. It
Speaker 1: looked like a lot of fun, and I liked you
Speaker 1: even put it out on your socials that there were
Speaker 1: resources available for four more players by the NFLPA. In
Speaker 1: the NFL, I thought that was really really cool. Um,
Speaker 1: it really opens the door. I know Barry Church went
Speaker 1: out there too. Did you get to link up? But
Speaker 1: when I trying to have a Barry, I think he
Speaker 1: was like in on a mountain somewhere, not in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I think he's in Colorado. He went to Aspen fast.
Speaker 1: I can't keep up with Barry, you know. I think
Speaker 1: he bounced to Arizona and then went to Aspen. I
Speaker 1: know he was there. Was Shan Lee I saw, yeah,
Speaker 1: but a lot of a lot a lot of dude man. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I was really excited. I saw
Speaker 1: DeMar Hamlin. That was pretty cool too. That's cool. He
Speaker 1: was running around ray Lewis ty Law, I mean, everybody
Speaker 1: that you can imagine was there. Everybody. That's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: really cool. We'll congrats on a fun trip. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about what happened in that game. Okay, super Bowl won
Speaker 1: by the Kansas City Chiefs, second one in four years
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. One heck of a game, by the way.
Speaker 1: Heck of a game. Yeah, no doubt. The ending was
Speaker 1: a little anti climactic, sucked, but it was a big
Speaker 1: time game. Yeah, what did you learn? Because there's there's
Speaker 1: every year we talk about this, Yes, especially since the
Speaker 1: Cowboys haven't been in the Super Bowl quite some time.
Speaker 1: You talk about what did you learn from the teams
Speaker 1: that made it, not even just the team that won it,
Speaker 1: But you can learn just as much from the Eagles
Speaker 1: about what they learned. And I know I have a
Speaker 1: feeling that you're probably gonna bring up something that you've
Speaker 1: actually been hitting since the off season in terms of
Speaker 1: being aggressive in certain areas of your roster building, But
Speaker 1: in terms of the execution of the game, was there
Speaker 1: anything that stuck out? Andy Reid is Andy Reid. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's He's a freaking dude. I hate the fact they're
Speaker 1: talking about retirement for him. I hope that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: I don't see that. I don't see it happening anither.
Speaker 1: But Andy Reid is a freaking Jedi when it comes
Speaker 1: to offensive strategy. And I knew, I know, we were
Speaker 1: making our projections and I picked the Eagles to win.
Speaker 1: They had their chance. They didn't take care of it.
Speaker 1: But the one factor that I that I was hesitant
Speaker 1: on in terms of score and all that stuff, is
Speaker 1: because any Reid, it's just he's just a factor that
Speaker 1: you have to take into consideration. He is that he
Speaker 1: is as much of a weapon as Mahomes, if not more,
Speaker 1: simply because of the fact he knows how to skim
Speaker 1: things up. Two of their two of their touchdowns were
Speaker 1: walking touchdowns were because of Andy Reid and him understanding
Speaker 1: the responsibilities of the defense when we do this, they
Speaker 1: do this, so we're going to do this like he
Speaker 1: just he just knows it right. So he's like the
Speaker 1: perfect example. He was bringing his guys down a short
Speaker 1: motion right the Kadarius Tony. We talked about that trade
Speaker 1: and how that was major during the season when it happened,
Speaker 1: were talking about it and he was gonna be huge
Speaker 1: for them. He was so. But he brought down a
Speaker 1: short motion and he knows when you go from a
Speaker 1: wide split down to a short split into a bunch,
Speaker 1: they bump over the coverage, they bump over the responsibilities
Speaker 1: as soon those as soon as those guys point their
Speaker 1: hand out, Darius Slay points his hand across. He knows
Speaker 1: snapped the ball. Because he just passed off the responsibility.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go right back out. Nobody's gonna be responsible
Speaker 1: for you because the guy that's responsible for you is
Speaker 1: on the inside now and it's man to man there.
Speaker 1: So he did that multiple times and he's just it
Speaker 1: just goes to his genius in terms of his preparation.
Speaker 1: And you heard it after those guys won, What did
Speaker 1: everybody say, freaking Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Kelsey was loud about it, right, it's yelled
Speaker 1: in front of mountaintops. And then on the under the
Speaker 1: flip side, you know, Kelsey was Kelsey by the way
Speaker 1: as well, per usual. He's a matchup nightmare. But did
Speaker 1: you flip it to the other side? And I mean
Speaker 1: Alan Hursts, I mean I noticed cowboys and we don't.
Speaker 1: Most people don't like talking about, you know, success of
Speaker 1: the Eagles, But I think you have to put some
Speaker 1: respect on that dude's name. I really think you have
Speaker 1: to put some success on some some respect on his name.
Speaker 1: I think he proved a lot of doubters m wrong.
Speaker 1: And I think regardless if you like him or not,
Speaker 1: he earned everybody's respect. He earned my respect. He mean
Speaker 1: this dude, I think you say he's twenty one to
Speaker 1: twenty seven beamer. Um, you know one pass breakup, he
Speaker 1: dropped some freaking dimes. And one thing that I that
Speaker 1: I noticed, and I held it in a high regard.
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like it for Dallas, but those guys
Speaker 1: who are just consistent on offense, they're just consistent. They
Speaker 1: don't need the big plays. They just worked the ball
Speaker 1: down the field, and I think that they are very
Speaker 1: dangerous from that perspective. All the moves that they made
Speaker 1: defensively didn't pan out for them in that game. Their
Speaker 1: defensive line, as deep as they were, they didn't have
Speaker 1: an impact on the game. You're talking Philadelphia, they did
Speaker 1: not make an impact on the game. So that's where
Speaker 1: they made a lot of their moveses in offseason and
Speaker 1: in the season to bolster up that d line. It
Speaker 1: didn't have an impact. They didn't get to Mahomes, they
Speaker 1: didn't bother him back there in the backfield at least,
Speaker 1: so but shout out to them. They made it there.
Speaker 1: They had a chance. You know. You know, Dallas is
Speaker 1: obviously hoping that they can do whatever they need to
Speaker 1: do this offseason, whether that's an aggressive route or whether
Speaker 1: that's Jerry Jones saying that he likes where he is
Speaker 1: right there, right in the middle, and his statements, but
Speaker 1: you know you'd like to see Dallas in that position
Speaker 1: at least to have a chance at winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: So you bring up an interesting point because because of
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and who he is as a play caller
Speaker 1: and who he is as a coach, because yes, he's
Speaker 1: in the all time great conversation now he has to
Speaker 1: be because he's won a couple of Super Bowls and
Speaker 1: he's done so in this fashion. I mean, outside of
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey, where are the names for
Speaker 1: Kansas City? Offensively? Where are they? Isaiah Pacheco was your
Speaker 1: best running back? Ye Juju Smith Schuster outside of Travis Kelsey,
Speaker 1: he was your guy. And I know that's a name,
Speaker 1: but there's a reason he's not with Pittsburgh anymore. It's
Speaker 1: because he was on the open market. Then he had Watson,
Speaker 1: he had McKinnon, you had Gray, Tony sky Moore's a
Speaker 1: draft pick. But for the most part, all of these
Speaker 1: guys in a team that just won the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: not just had a chance to win it, but one it.
Speaker 1: A lot of them are retreads or they're under the
Speaker 1: radar guys. Why are they successful so they're successful? One
Speaker 1: because of any read you brought that up. They're also
Speaker 1: successful because they have an identity. Okay that the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs have an identity, and their identity is speed.
Speaker 1: Everybody under name one slow receiver. No, they're all fast.
Speaker 1: They're all fast. You know who else? They've signed to
Speaker 1: a futures contract this year, not to the maybe maybe
Speaker 1: a month ago. John Ross, Oh, yeah, the one that
Speaker 1: broke the Yeah, broke the forty record at the Combine.
Speaker 1: They signed him to a futures record. He didn't work
Speaker 1: out in Cincinnati, but guess where he will work out? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Kansas City. So when you talk about an identity in
Speaker 1: a culture, that they know who they are and it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you've done in your past. If you
Speaker 1: have a particular skill set that we acknowledge and we admire,
Speaker 1: we're gonna utilize it. So that's why they weren't stressing
Speaker 1: when heel was gone. They're like, yeah, we're gonna miss
Speaker 1: his presents, but we got other dudes, and in our system,
Speaker 1: we can make you successful. As long as you're willing, capable,
Speaker 1: and you're fast. You start looking at other teams. Most
Speaker 1: teams don't have an identity on either side. Of the ball.
Speaker 1: Dallas has an identity on defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: What's that get after it? Okay, you got guys on
Speaker 1: a D line that can get and get after it,
Speaker 1: fly to the ball, fly to the ball, fly around,
Speaker 1: reckless abandonment. You got Fowler, you got you know, Sam
Speaker 1: Williams A. You got all these guys that that's that's
Speaker 1: an identity, right, you got some one guys that are
Speaker 1: one on one, they're their matchup nightmares. They're gonna just
Speaker 1: just relentless. Okay, that's your defensive identity. What's your offensive identity?
Speaker 1: You lost it and you don't have it, So you
Speaker 1: have wasn't it before running? Okay, back when when Dallas,
Speaker 1: when I feel like Dallas was unstoppable offensively, and you
Speaker 1: can even go back to last year. He was about
Speaker 1: to say, it probably take a couple years. It's gonna say,
Speaker 1: you've been going into twenty twenty two, and of course
Speaker 1: with the result that had happened, you you made the playoffs,
Speaker 1: you got a playoff wins. Great, but you didn't have
Speaker 1: an identity enough to make a push. And that's kind
Speaker 1: of where I was leading. When is the last time
Speaker 1: this offense had an identity when you had Fredericks Travis
Speaker 1: Frederick yep. Okay, that's when you had an identity because
Speaker 1: teams feared your offensive line. Teams feared your offensive line.
Speaker 1: They knew that when they came against the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to deal with the running game getting tired.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get Zach Man, and then you've got Travis
Speaker 1: Coons all a day long, no matter what, no matter
Speaker 1: what's going on in the game, you're gonna they gonna
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna do what turn around a hand the
Speaker 1: ball off? That would get them out of trouble, right,
Speaker 1: and then you could pass off of that, right. We
Speaker 1: all we've talked relentlessly about Dak being a play action quarterback. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's not a bad connotation when I say that, that's
Speaker 1: just what he does best. He's best when he has
Speaker 1: an established running game. You can say Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 1: probably best when he has a play action but he'll
Speaker 1: also throw the ballot say, well, he only threw a
Speaker 1: twenty seven, one, two and three touchdowns and he's a
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But they're dangerous even more so now because
Speaker 1: they have a running game, which is kind of scary, right,
Speaker 1: they never necessarily had to have one. Now they actually
Speaker 1: have one, and they're even more dangerous. Yeah, they had
Speaker 1: a first round pick running back who was inactive on
Speaker 1: game day and it doesn't matter. Jesus. Yeah, So Dallas
Speaker 1: has to get back to and I can't speak on
Speaker 1: names because guys are still well, actually some guys that
Speaker 1: are free, but there's some free agents and some potentially
Speaker 1: upcoming guys that are going to be released and be
Speaker 1: free agents that are mudling retirement, but that are just
Speaker 1: dog on goons up front. And I think I hope
Speaker 1: I can go back to that word, hope. I hope
Speaker 1: that Dallas is looking at them, because I think that
Speaker 1: they have to get back to establishing an identity as
Speaker 1: an offense. Obviously you're making a change from killing regime
Speaker 1: to the to the to why not just blank out
Speaker 1: on coaches name. Jesus, you're talking about the shot him. No,
Speaker 1: well yeah, you're shot Hyberbs McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy being a guy.
Speaker 1: I almost called him Homeren Jesus, Wow, I know, Bay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but coach McCarthy, uh, their scheme, that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: change enough, right, But now you have to look at
Speaker 1: and say what can we rely on? And I don't
Speaker 1: think Dallas has that right now. So that's something that
Speaker 1: they have to go back and find and create that.
Speaker 1: And I think the easiest way to get there is
Speaker 1: by plugging two new offensive alignment into your offensive front. Goons,
Speaker 1: though not just guys. I'm talking about spend the money.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna spend the money this offseason, I know
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be looking for those big name free agents
Speaker 1: that are skilled players and all that jazz, get some goal,
Speaker 1: get the big nasties, spin on a freaking dog on
Speaker 1: the defensive front, interior defensive alignment, and get two more
Speaker 1: offensive alignment that are all pros. There have been all
Speaker 1: pros in their career. Looking at free agent trackers, now,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find some some offensive lineman for you
Speaker 1: to target. If that's the case where it's it's the
Speaker 1: case of a missing identity, and you go out and
Speaker 1: you build an identity, where do you think they would lean?
Speaker 1: Do you think they would lean toward a run first only?
Speaker 1: And go back to what they did back Like you said,
Speaker 1: we're in twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, they had that identity
Speaker 1: of course twenty sixteen, they'd certainly did too. I would
Speaker 1: argue the last time they had an identity and they
Speaker 1: were certainly feared on offense was because of the weapons
Speaker 1: that they had in early twenty one, first six weeks
Speaker 1: of the year up until Dak had the calf injury
Speaker 1: against against New England. That's where I would argue because
Speaker 1: that was that was an unstoppable offense in a so
Speaker 1: so defense that was just starting to find their footing
Speaker 1: with dan Quinn. If they could have paired this year's
Speaker 1: defense with the first six years of offense with the
Speaker 1: weapons that you had, I think you would have been fine.
Speaker 1: I still so I agree with you in regard that
Speaker 1: that offense was dangerous. You go back to twenty one
Speaker 1: defense feared, Yeah, they were, they were, They were feared
Speaker 1: as an offense. But I still don't think that they
Speaker 1: had an identity. Okay, it was an so like I
Speaker 1: would say, it's just explosive. Yeah, they can kill you.
Speaker 1: They can kill you with the big play, big play. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But when I speak about identity, it's like, what do
Speaker 1: we have to deal with? Like is it is it
Speaker 1: gonna be dink and dunk all day long? Is it
Speaker 1: gonna be like a Tom Brady where he's getting the
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands and he's gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: gonna be high efficient and you gotta tackle guys. Is
Speaker 1: it gonna be? You know, but they're not gonna make mistakes?
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be? They're gonna run the ball of
Speaker 1: the gut all day long? Like what is it that
Speaker 1: teams can expect to deal with when they face you?
Speaker 1: And I don't know that Dallas has that? Now, the
Speaker 1: defense had that in the first half of the year
Speaker 1: when you just know, do not get in the passing situation?
Speaker 1: Why because these dudes got they got too many guys right,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep coming. They're gonna keep coming after you.
Speaker 1: They're gonna make things hard for you as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Don't getting passing downs? That was identity on defense. Offensively,
Speaker 1: feel like you're fishing. That doesn't mean that you're not
Speaker 1: going to be successful, but being successful doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: you necessarily have an established identity. Yeah, I see what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Yeah, and I'm looking at some of the
Speaker 1: offensive lineman now, Orlando Brown Junior, his market value right
Speaker 1: now is like twenty two million, So that one's probably
Speaker 1: if you're going this has been the money. Sure, but
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. Rodney Hudson, George Fan, Connor McGovern,
Speaker 1: but not our Conor McGovern, the one from New York,
Speaker 1: the Center, a couple other centers, I mean, Jason Kelsey,
Speaker 1: he's probably he's talking about retirement. Justin Pugh, Matt pryor
Speaker 1: cam Irving, you remember that name, m Austin Blythe Brandon Parker,
Speaker 1: Nick Gates. That's that's pretty much your guys. And there's
Speaker 1: some there's some more guys that are about to be
Speaker 1: relieved of their contracts. Sure, they're gonna be cap casualties
Speaker 1: and you can kind of work from there the pins
Speaker 1: on it, but it's it's always tough. Maybe we could
Speaker 1: just go sign a Nate Newton who just texted me.
Speaker 1: That's awful. He said, nice to old lineman. So he
Speaker 1: agrees with you. He wants he wants to offensive linemen.
Speaker 1: There you go. All right, let's take our first break
Speaker 1: when we come back. We're gonna take your calls here
Speaker 1: on a talking Tuesday eighty eight eight five five two

Speaker 1: to take some calls alongside Isaiah stand back. I'm Kyle
Speaker 1: Yeoman's Chris me in the back. No Patrick, no c Walker.
Speaker 1: Which makes us very sad, but it also makes us
Speaker 1: happy because now we get to call Cowboys Nation and
Speaker 1: we start with our friend Mike in New York. Mike,
Speaker 1: you're back on talking cowboys. How's it going? Hey? What's
Speaker 1: going on? Guys? Hey? Is it? What's your protiction last
Speaker 1: week about? Oh? Absolutely, what happened. I was wrong. It
Speaker 1: was close game. It happened, guys. I was wrong, But
Speaker 1: it was a close game. It wasn't I honestly didn't
Speaker 1: care who won, but I was obviously if I was
Speaker 1: rooting for one, I would say that did you cry
Speaker 1: that night? Because you said you were cheering for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: not even a little bit a little bit of tears.
Speaker 1: Kids kept asking me. They're like, who we're going for them?
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't matter, Like it doesn't matter, it does matter,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it absolutely matter. Does it put a
Speaker 1: ring on Dallas's finger? No, but it's close enough. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't put a ring on the Eagles. No, I
Speaker 1: didn't know, did not. So they Cowboys definitely go, we
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. We uh, we need some different offensive linement.
Speaker 1: And I say we need another receiver. Yeah. No, that's
Speaker 1: a huge topic of conversation. There's so there's there's two
Speaker 1: receivers that Dallas has already invested in terms of the
Speaker 1: draft that you haven't had any production out of Jalen
Speaker 1: Tilbert and send me for sim Yeah, so you've got
Speaker 1: two guys that are there. If I don't know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen with T, why Hilton but T Why Hilton
Speaker 1: came in and did his job? Yes he did. He
Speaker 1: came in and did his job. Thank you, Mike for
Speaker 1: thank by the way, thanks Mike. So he came in
Speaker 1: and did his job. So in terms of receiver, I
Speaker 1: don't disagree with you that Mike, that that Dallas needs
Speaker 1: to go out and acquire probably a veteran receiver. I
Speaker 1: don't think that they need to be overly aggressive though
Speaker 1: in terms of spending a bunch at that position, I
Speaker 1: would not spend a bunch at the receiver position just
Speaker 1: to ask some explosion because when you look at it,
Speaker 1: in reality, Dallas leans on the ground game first. So
Speaker 1: if you're not dominant in your primary, then why are
Speaker 1: you going to bolster your secondary. When I see a secondary,
Speaker 1: your secondary threat, your secondary weapons, which is your receivers. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think you need to bolster your primary. You need
Speaker 1: a running game for your quarterback to be who he
Speaker 1: is to play Devil's advocate. Here. You look at one
Speaker 1: of the teams that was just in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia last year. They were number one in the
Speaker 1: NFL and rushing rushing yards per game totality. They were
Speaker 1: a volume ground team. Part of that was because their
Speaker 1: quarterback Jalen Hurts could run the ball as officially as
Speaker 1: he does. But with that being said, they had multiple guys.
Speaker 1: They had Miles Sanders, they had Boston Scott, they have
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell that they can use as a running back.
Speaker 1: And what do they do in the offseason to bolster
Speaker 1: that offense. They went out and they got you a dog. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: they went out and got a j Brown, who, by
Speaker 1: the way, probably the most underrated receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Still the play he had on the deep ball on
Speaker 1: the on the touchdown where he kind of stutter stepped
Speaker 1: and backed his defender off and then turned into another
Speaker 1: gear phenomenal. There are so many things that they could
Speaker 1: have done this offseason, but what they did is they
Speaker 1: traded a first round pick and they went and got
Speaker 1: a dude. Absolutely. I don't I don't disagree. I think
Speaker 1: it wouldn't hurt because, yes, you have invested in Jaylen Tilbert,
Speaker 1: who has showed you absolutely nothing. You invested in Simi
Speaker 1: Phohoco put a little bit less he was a mid
Speaker 1: round pick, absolutely nothing. You have had zero from those
Speaker 1: two guys, Simi in two years Jaylen in one year.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you have to cut those guys, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to rely on them either. So
Speaker 1: go get you a first round receiver if you like
Speaker 1: one enough. If you don't like one enough, I am
Speaker 1: one hundred percent okay doing the Amari Cooper and going
Speaker 1: and taking that first round pick that's sitting at twenty
Speaker 1: six and going and getting the guy, Go and find one.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's one out there that or a
Speaker 1: team out there that would be willing to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a specific player, but go get
Speaker 1: you a dude that's established that you know can come
Speaker 1: in and turn this offense on its head, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you've got another weapon for your
Speaker 1: quarterback to throw too. I wouldn't disagree with you if
Speaker 1: Dallas's front was established away that you want them to be. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna get You might get a top
Speaker 1: end guard in the draft, your top end tackles are
Speaker 1: going to be far gone by top Get a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl center then, okay, I don't know if there is one. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that one's see what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, But like, you need to control that aspect
Speaker 1: of the game because so much of everything else that
Speaker 1: you want to do is dependent on it. I am
Speaker 1: not against going to get a receiver that can go
Speaker 1: out there and make impact, but if you can't establish
Speaker 1: your running game, you know that you have a quarterback
Speaker 1: who's not necessarily gonna drop back and throwing forty times
Speaker 1: and throw you to a victory. That's not his thing.
Speaker 1: So so having those weapons. It wasn't Jalen hurts thing
Speaker 1: either though. But they had a running game. You already
Speaker 1: said last year they establish your running game, So they
Speaker 1: were adding on to what was already established. Sure Dallas
Speaker 1: hasn't established the running you know what I'm saying, like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's what I'm refirst So that's what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: don't don't want to go back the physicality of finding
Speaker 1: because we're not talking about Tony Pollard and zek Because
Speaker 1: if you have Tony Pollard back in the fold, he's
Speaker 1: electrifying in his own right. He's going to find a
Speaker 1: way to get yardage. But in order to control a game,
Speaker 1: you need the physicality of her and no disrespect to
Speaker 1: the position. There's a lot that running backs do obviously,
Speaker 1: when even when you look at the difference between that,
Speaker 1: I mean, between Zeke and Pollard, they have two different
Speaker 1: skill sets and the reason why Zeke is still very valuable,
Speaker 1: valuable is because the things he doesn't do when he's
Speaker 1: not running the ball. Okay, but this league is starting
Speaker 1: to get to the point where if you have your front,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of very skilled running backs that can
Speaker 1: tote the ball for you. Running the ball is not
Speaker 1: an issue for most running backs if they have holes
Speaker 1: see other stuff. It's the other stuff. So in terms
Speaker 1: of finding somebody who capable of running the ball, you
Speaker 1: can find that. So you could really invest less there
Speaker 1: and bolster your front and then you can plug and
Speaker 1: play at that position for the running portion of it.
Speaker 1: Not the blocking and all the other pass catching all that,
Speaker 1: that's all different. But running the ball. There's a gazillion
Speaker 1: dudes in the draft or even that after the draft
Speaker 1: that you can get that can run the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you have the holes, but Malie Davis, he's a piece. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you have an old line that can create holes,
Speaker 1: he's gonna run through them things. Yeah. So I don't
Speaker 1: want to discredit that position, right, But I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: if you take care of your front office line and
Speaker 1: make those guys dominant, you can do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: It gives you the freedom to do what you want
Speaker 1: to do. But if you have a couple pieces there,
Speaker 1: a couple pieces here, a couple pieces there, then you
Speaker 1: just you're week the week you're trying to change up
Speaker 1: who you are. Yeah, you've got to find, like you said,
Speaker 1: an identity, and it just depends on which route you go.
Speaker 1: You gotta go one way or the other. You either
Speaker 1: got to be physical and run the football or you
Speaker 1: gotta be over weaponized outside. I give you a perfect
Speaker 1: example when you face the Washington Commanders. What is the
Speaker 1: one thing as an offense that you know you're just
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do as an offense going
Speaker 1: against the Commanders? Run up the middle? Why because they've
Speaker 1: got two dudes in the middle. Just payin and Alan.
Speaker 1: What do they invest there? You've even got Chase Young
Speaker 1: on the outside when he's healthy. So when they invested
Speaker 1: their their money and their draft picks into a certain position, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: a certain that fronts that front line, it automatically takes
Speaker 1: away something that offense could do against you. Yeah, straight
Speaker 1: off the board, done. We negate you to just throwing
Speaker 1: the ball offensively. If you do that, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: what can you do? You can we can move anybody
Speaker 1: off the ball. That means we're always in good down
Speaker 1: a distance. Yeah, you're gonna win first and second down,
Speaker 1: which is what Mike McCarthy always wants to do. So
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like, if you take care of that,
Speaker 1: you have so many available options. Now you don't have
Speaker 1: to have all the explosive receivers because most of your
Speaker 1: receivers can get you five yard routes and ten yard routes.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to have these explosive guys.
Speaker 1: Now you would like to have them, but there's not
Speaker 1: a necessity, so you could make things happen. McCarthy didn't
Speaker 1: have a ton of amazing receivers when he was out there, right,
Speaker 1: but because his running game was so good, everybody was
Speaker 1: was accessible. You're talking about it in Green Bay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Yeah, he never Yeah, So you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it just it makes you like
Speaker 1: Damante Adams, he had Jordan Nelson. I mean, they had
Speaker 1: some guys. If I was if I was a gem,
Speaker 1: which I don't think I'm going into them. If I
Speaker 1: was a gem, maybe maybe next Super Bowl. If you
Speaker 1: can net work better, my offensive a defensive lines would
Speaker 1: be unstoppable. I would have so much invested there that
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, We're just gonna line up a hit
Speaker 1: you in the mouth. Yeah, worst case scenario if we
Speaker 1: don't have any other money to use. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: you want to make sure other positions are taking care of.
Speaker 1: But worst case scenario, you got the lineup and going
Speaker 1: against my best, my best linement. Look at what Kansas
Speaker 1: City did. They allowed zero sacks against that team, and
Speaker 1: it took away at the strength of the defense. They
Speaker 1: invested and they invested all that money. Win last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: while back last year, but four of their five starting
Speaker 1: offensive linement last year all new, all new. They invested
Speaker 1: that money last year and they paid off. Win this year,
Speaker 1: still got him to a championship game last year too.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, let's go to Kenton, New Mexico. You're on
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys Kent's what's up? Good morning, Gis, How are
Speaker 1: you doing great? How are you not too bad? Yeah?
Speaker 1: My concern this year is what are we going to
Speaker 1: do with the salary cap hit from Dak Prescott. And
Speaker 1: you know that's going to really limit what we can
Speaker 1: do in free agency and how many of our own
Speaker 1: free agents we can keep. And it really makes you
Speaker 1: want to question how committed he is to winning a
Speaker 1: championship because we want to compare him not skill wise
Speaker 1: to Patrick Mahomes. But look at what Patrick Mahomes did
Speaker 1: when he could have held the Kansas City Chiefs hostage
Speaker 1: over his contracts, and he chose to take a very
Speaker 1: very long term, ten year contract did not maximize his
Speaker 1: earning potential by any means. And he did so because
Speaker 1: he said he wanted to keep a championship a team
Speaker 1: around him, and he knew that the team had to
Speaker 1: have the capital to do that, and he wanted to
Speaker 1: compete for championships. And he put his money where his
Speaker 1: mouth is and left his team with a lot of
Speaker 1: room toward a lot of flexibility in his contract to
Speaker 1: do exactly what he said he wanted to do, which
Speaker 1: was compete for championships. And he just got his second Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I love Dak, but he said he wants
Speaker 1: to win championships, and then he goes out and wants
Speaker 1: to maximize his potential short contract and then turn around
Speaker 1: and do it again and hold him hostage again to
Speaker 1: max out his earning potential a second time and then
Speaker 1: a third time. You know that really hamstrings the Cowboys
Speaker 1: ability to keep the team intact and to go and
Speaker 1: be aggressive in pre agency. Thank you for your call.
Speaker 1: Can't really appreciate it. I do. I want to take
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that you said there and I
Speaker 1: want to I want to break it down a little
Speaker 1: bit because you're talking about the cap hit for each
Speaker 1: of these these guys moving forward. I disagree on the
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes argument because his cap hit last year was
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars. He signed the richest deal in
Speaker 1: NFL history ten years, four hundred and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1: That's a half a billion that he signed. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's over ten years, but his cap hit was thirty
Speaker 1: five point seven. In twenty twenty two, Dax was nineteen
Speaker 1: point seven, so half, and he's still won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Patrick did with thirty five point seven. Now Dax balloons
Speaker 1: to forty nine, and we all know that that's the
Speaker 1: big number, and it does. It limits you in terms
Speaker 1: of what you can do from a cap situation hit
Speaker 1: And what's Patrick's next year forty six? So it's right there.
Speaker 1: It's like very it's within a couple million dollars with
Speaker 1: the ring. But he does have a ring, yes, no doubt.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. Like this year, da salary,
Speaker 1: das cap hit was half of Patrick Mahomes, and it
Speaker 1: still ended up in a ring. There's ways that you
Speaker 1: can lower dax contract. And the way you do that
Speaker 1: as you extend him and you put him, you push
Speaker 1: him past the four years. He has the greatest Patrick
Speaker 1: Myhomes has the greatest roster bonus of all time. His
Speaker 1: roster bonus this year wasn't no coming up, so its
Speaker 1: roster Brooks. It's probably what January, first first day of
Speaker 1: the new year, right, thirty four million dollars. My goodness.
Speaker 1: His one last year was twenty seven. Salary is five
Speaker 1: point five million. Yeah, it's all cash right up front. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's still it's still cap hits. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: still kind of plays into it. Here's the next ten
Speaker 1: years basically for Patrick Mahomes forty four, forty six, forty
Speaker 1: one fifty nine point nine, so sixteen million dollars in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, which, by the way, by the time
Speaker 1: the salary cap continues to balloon, that will probably be
Speaker 1: a normal number forty four, forty four point nine fifty
Speaker 1: fifty two point four four in twenty one or twenty
Speaker 1: twenty thirty one. That's his last year. But you know,
Speaker 1: so it kind of goes back and thanks for the call.
Speaker 1: It goes back to where we're talking about in terms
Speaker 1: of identity though, So when you think about the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, they can afford those cap hits like that
Speaker 1: because having high caliber players aren't as as much of
Speaker 1: a necessity because you have that identity and you have
Speaker 1: a system that's established. Yeah. Right, So you don't need
Speaker 1: the big name guys that you're gonna that you have
Speaker 1: to go spend a bunch of money on. You can
Speaker 1: sign futures contracts to guys who didn't work out other
Speaker 1: places because you know you can bring them into your
Speaker 1: system and make them successful. Yeah, Mahomes elevates them now, Yes, yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm saying Dallas is them there. Dallas is in the
Speaker 1: position now where you're stressing. You're stressing over the cap
Speaker 1: because you're like, man, we still got it. We have
Speaker 1: all these needs and we got it. We need guys
Speaker 1: that can help us do this and guys that can
Speaker 1: help us do this. And they're not alone in that fact.
Speaker 1: Thirty other teams in the NFL cities not stressing. No,
Speaker 1: they got a ring. Yeah, and they keep finding themselves
Speaker 1: in that same position. Right. The other thing about the
Speaker 1: coaching staff and what we've talked about. We praised this
Speaker 1: coaching staff for what they did this year. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: they made it work whenever things weren't necessarily stacked up
Speaker 1: in their failure. Yeah, they did things that were able
Speaker 1: to elevate their roster above the expectations. Before the year started,
Speaker 1: I said ten and seven. I think you said nine
Speaker 1: and eight. It was it wasn't We thought, based off
Speaker 1: of the off season year ago, they were going to
Speaker 1: take a step back. Correct. Instead, what did they do?
Speaker 1: They actually had a better year. Yeah, because of some
Speaker 1: of the ways that they kind of adjusted as a
Speaker 1: season went along. Credits to the coaching staff in that
Speaker 1: regard as well. But do we have the same kind
Speaker 1: of confidence that this coaching staff and the quarterback can
Speaker 1: elevate those guys around you enough to say, Okay, talent wise,
Speaker 1: we may not stack up the same on paper, but
Speaker 1: are we going to still have success? I don't think
Speaker 1: that confidence is there, and I don't I don't want
Speaker 1: to keep beating, you know, the drum on the same thing.
Speaker 1: But you don't know who you are. No, you don't
Speaker 1: know who you are. So when you don't know who
Speaker 1: you are, you're looking for a splash, you're looking for
Speaker 1: a big name that's gonna come in and change. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, we got this guy now. So now everybody
Speaker 1: has worried about these guys. They're not tripping about that
Speaker 1: over there in Kansas City, right, And that's the comparison
Speaker 1: we're using because that's the highest mark right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not tripping over that you're looking at Oh but
Speaker 1: check out, okay, all right, cool, yeah, all right, Tony
Speaker 1: was that was a big night. It's a big move,
Speaker 1: big move, right, But Tony was there? T why Hilton? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Juju was bigger in Pittsburgh than he is in Casey.
Speaker 1: He's actually taking a he's regressed in terms of his importance. Right.
Speaker 1: So Kelsey got fourteen million, by the way this year,
Speaker 1: So I mean, which is he should be getting more,
Speaker 1: way more than that. Because if you want to talk
Speaker 1: about somebody taking too yeah, if you want to take
Speaker 1: talk about somebody taking a pay cut for Kansas City,
Speaker 1: it would be it would be Travis Kelsey. So I mean,
Speaker 1: so I keep going back to that in terms of identity,
Speaker 1: and I think that's very important and I hope Dallas
Speaker 1: invests in the positions that don't make the newspaper. I
Speaker 1: really fourteen was this year, eight was last. So the
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers making eight million, basically that's cap caps,
Speaker 1: cap hits. He needs twenty five minute probably at least um.
Speaker 1: So that's well, that's the thing. I don't think you
Speaker 1: can blame this whole thing on Dak Prescott, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of what Kent was implying. He's not being selfish
Speaker 1: in that regard. We ran through the numbers a couple
Speaker 1: of shows ago. He's ninth in the NFL in terms
Speaker 1: of average per year on his contract. Out of quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: he's behind guys like Derek Carr, who's about to get cut.
Speaker 1: I've never talked about Dak's contract like that. You get
Speaker 1: he's getting what the market says he should. Get no
Speaker 1: complaints there, Get your money and get your money. It's
Speaker 1: the management's job to to feel the rest of the roles,
Speaker 1: and even amongst that paying Dak that people could keep
Speaker 1: saying it, go figure out who you are. Figure out
Speaker 1: who you are and bolster that put that part of
Speaker 1: your offense and that part of your defense, and then
Speaker 1: go forward and plug the rest of the gaps. Go
Speaker 1: forward and plug the rest of the caps. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: needs to be just to put it on a T shirt.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our second break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna catch up with Dan in Florida. But we
Speaker 1: got to step aside for a quick moment. More talking
Speaker 1: cowboys will continue in a moment. Todd thought it would
Speaker 1: be secure to jog in the Cheetah Savanta. Todd believed
Speaker 1: the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable. And
Speaker 1: now Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah
Speaker 1: that can run eighty miles per hour. But the good
Speaker 1: news is Todd has AT and T five G. It
Speaker 1: is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best
Speaker 1: thing to do is stop running and toss her the
Speaker 1: backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device.
Speaker 1: Five G may not be available in your area. See

Speaker 1: you were going with it. Yep, that's right. I think
Speaker 1: he was leaning. Yeah. I mean, you got a text
Speaker 1: from from Big Nate, don't I know? If Nate Newton
Speaker 1: texts you and says, go get two offensive linemen, then
Speaker 1: you should probably go try and two offensive lineman. Kind
Speaker 1: of knows what he's talking about. He does, he does,
Speaker 1: all right, anything on your mind going into this next
Speaker 1: week for the Cowboys? Now, you know what we need
Speaker 1: to do. We need to hit important ops season days.
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can find some real quick
Speaker 1: anything on your mind? Though? You do breaking Cowboys news? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do some breaking Cowboys news. What's going on? The
Speaker 1: Jets have signed or actually Doug nust Meyer, he used
Speaker 1: to be our quarterbacks coach, now is on the Jets staff.
Speaker 1: Former former quarterback coach Doug nust Meyer now hired by
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, and as according to reports out
Speaker 1: there at the moment, so he will head to try
Speaker 1: and fix that situation. And I thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: go to I thought he was doing to La. Honestly,
Speaker 1: he's gonna follow Kellen. Yeah, I mean he's he's one
Speaker 1: of Kellen's guys. Might have might have gotten to that point.
Speaker 1: The Jets are in recruiting process. I was about to say,
Speaker 1: they're looking for some other guys, and Zach Wilson's there
Speaker 1: their quarterback in the building, but he's not their quarterback.
Speaker 1: And you can kind of tell that one of me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's going to be an interesting topic of conversation. Of course,
Speaker 1: there were reports that the Jets are interested in inquiring
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers. Doug nuss Meyer may be coaching Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: who knows. All right, here are some of the upcoming
Speaker 1: dates offseason wise that you want to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: February twenty first is when teams may use the franchise
Speaker 1: or transition tag on unrestricted free agents, So keep that
Speaker 1: in mind with guys like Tony Pollard who could potentially
Speaker 1: be tagged. February twenty eighth, so right in that same
Speaker 1: window as the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. I'll be
