I know I said on this show before, 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: I play that immaculate grid on Pro Football Reference. It's addicting. 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: I played baseball and basketball, but football as i'm better at. 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: Can't do the hockey. Sorry, but but yeah, I got 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: people tweeting at mego, what was your score yesterday? You know, 22 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: because it was Cowboys it was like Cowboys and Bills. 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: You know what name of a player and you know 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: that that played for both teams. So I went with 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: Jim Jeff Cod on that one. It's all it's just 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: fun game though if you haven't tried it on, it's 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: called immaculate grid. It's what Pro football reference these is 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: really fun. Kind of goes down memory lane a little bit. 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: So all right, that's what we're gonna do today. We're 30 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: going to talk about whatever you want to talk about. 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: If we're talking about the Jets, talk about the Giants, 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: still want to go there, Usually we've turned the page 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: by then, But if you want to talk about that game, 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: that's fine with me. All right, let's go to the callers. 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: Let's go right to it here in Kansas City, Brian 36 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: and Kansas City Brian, what's up? 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: Hey, Good morning, Mick, Good morning, Hey, I got I 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: got an old timer for you and a question. All right, 39 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: So my question is, you know, so we haven't seen 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: a lot of AS fans, especially people that don't live 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: in the Dallas Fort Worth area. We haven't seen a 42 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: lot of Jalen Tolbert. So you know, we saw Brandon 43 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: Cooks popped up on the injury report and maybe just 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: tell us a little bit. Is he an outside guy? Only? 45 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: Can he go in the slot? 46 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: You know? 47 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: Can he play you know all the positions? You know, 48 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: what's your view? Haven't seen him close up and all 49 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: those practices and all that stuff. 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Yep, tolbert I think is a he's an inside outside guy. 51 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: He can do a little bit of everything. That that's 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: what That's what kind of intrigued them about him because 53 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: when he was at South Alabama, he was a player 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: that you know, he was the best receiver on the field. 55 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: Hope he didn't lose the caller because he had a 56 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: he had a former player. You want, I'm still here, 57 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: still there, okay, but but why don't you do that? 58 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Why don't you tell me? Tell me your guy, and 59 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: I'll finish it off about Tolberts. We can clear the 60 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: lines here. 61 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Hey, So, my I was watching the nineteen 62 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: seventy two as Cowboys team and I saw Rayfield right 63 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: jogging up to the line. I was so happy that 64 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: he got into the Hall of Fame in O six 65 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: and so said to see, we lost him last year. 66 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: But anyway, that was my old timer, and I'm going 67 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: to hang up and listen to the rest of your answer. Brother. 68 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: Awesome, Rayfield, right, what a good one. Going back to Tolbert, 69 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Tolbert, I think what the Cowboys really loved about 70 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: him at South Alabama was that, you know, he was 71 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: the best player on the field, uh and certainly on offense, 72 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: and so they had to line him up all different 73 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: places to create some mismatches and and and you know, 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: it was a real problem for teams. So so that 75 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: that's what he got so many catches. So he understood 76 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: how to do that. And I think that kind of 77 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: hurt him last year though, because he was playing so 78 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: many different positions that when he got hurt in the 79 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: off season, it slowed him down. It slowed him down 80 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: for a lot of spots. It's easy to just say 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: learn this here, learn the X, or learn the Z 82 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: or whatever, but he was trying to learn all of 83 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: them because he can. He has that capability. And this 84 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: year I think so much better for him. So if 85 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: he has to play more, I think that there's there's 86 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: no doubt he would be fine. There a drop off, 87 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: of course from from Cooks. If you know, if his 88 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: knee he showed up on the knee injury report with 89 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: a knee injury, but it would be a drop off 90 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: for sure. But I still think they have confidence and 91 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: Toldbert I think more importantly, he's got more confidence in 92 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: himself Rayfield. Right. I just remember doing an interview with 93 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: him one time before he made it to the Hall 94 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: of Fame, and he just had this quote, I'll never forget. 95 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: He goes all these yards, all these catches, all these touchdowns, 96 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: and did no one block? You know, he's talking about 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: no one in the Hall of Fame for the Cowboys. 98 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: I mean, we got all these guys to do anything, 99 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: but but nobody blocked. And he was like, you know, 100 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: just basically touting himself to why is he not in 101 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? And they corrected that problem for sure. 102 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: So he was the original big cat. 103 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: You know. 104 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: I always thought Leon Lett was the big cat, but no, 105 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: he was the original big cat. All right? Oh, go 106 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: back to the phone, I think it was I lost it. 107 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: But the thing was Nick in Austin. Is that what 108 00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: I saw? 109 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? 110 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: Her back again? 111 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: What's up? Man? 112 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: Not much? 113 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 5: How times? 114 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: You better this time? 115 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: That's all right? I remember I remember the first call. 116 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: Sure it was great. 117 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: No, I was nervous because this is my first time 118 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: calling him, But say, I always watched your you know, 119 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 4: your show you're on before the break, and the thing 120 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 4: that I liked about you is that you you seem 121 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: to always have. 122 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: The fans perspective. 123 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: That's what I really enjoyed about you. So I want 124 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 4: to say that real quick. Number one, I wanted to say, 125 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 4: there's a lot of people having concern about, you know, 126 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 4: the Jets the tips of line, which I do understand, 127 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 4: but I believe that the Giants were truit me. If 128 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 4: I'm wrong pretty much, just it doubt it's not close 129 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: to it. And with our offense, get the ball out 130 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 4: as fast as we are. I think the gates a 131 00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 4: lot of that. 132 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: You're right, You're right about that, and that's what that's 133 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: why Brandon Cooks his injury is so important because he's 134 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: the guy that you're going to try to get the 135 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: ball out quickly. But yeah, you're right about that. The 136 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: defense is pretty stout right there in the middle, so 137 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: you want to get it out quick. 138 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: And then another one real quick is on, you know, 139 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 4: on the other side of the ball. On defense. I 140 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: believe that as long as we can stop their run, 141 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 4: you know, if you do good against the run, they're 142 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: pretty much done. Yeah for the most part. Now, because 143 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 4: you know, Zach Wilson just hasn't been proven to be 144 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 4: a good pucket, you know. Yeah, Now you do need 145 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 4: to watch out for him as far as in scrambling 146 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 4: because from what I've heard and from college and whatnot, 147 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 4: and he does have some wheels, he has some legs. 148 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to be careful of that. I think 149 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: this is very similar to the Daniel Jones type of thing. 150 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: I think, you know, Jones was a guy that you 151 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: have to kind of be careful for. But if you 152 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: keep him in the pocket, I think you're probably gonna 153 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: be in better shape. 154 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 4: And then one last thing real quick if I can, 155 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: is that they were talking about how, you know, people 156 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 4: were going to be coming back from you know, injury, 157 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: and that they were gonna set hit people. Uh, for 158 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 4: example Deuce Bond, which I liked, so I think it'd 159 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 4: be great, but I would much and they were talking 160 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 4: about sitting him versus hitting Turpin. I would much rather 161 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: kick Deuce right now, because obviously Terpin has the experience 162 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 4: and you know, they're so similar, and just the defense, 163 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 4: especially if they're hitting him out for some of the 164 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 4: defense such as you know, Donovan Wilfins. It just we 165 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 4: need to we need to have, you know, continue to 166 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 4: build on our on our strength. 167 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 3: Much. 168 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: All right, Nick, have a good one, good day, Thanks 169 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: for the call. You know. I think what Turpin Andduce 170 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: have in common is that they're both not going to 171 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: get a lot of red like that. That's what they 172 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: have in common. And like in the pickup game, that 173 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: they're not tall. That's really it. Though they are not 174 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: the same type of player, not the same type of body. 175 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: And you know, they can both make plays, but I 176 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: think Turpin, you're not sitting Turpin. Turpns a Pro Bowl, 177 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: All Pro return specialist. He's somebody that has team's respects 178 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: and that's a huge deal. When you're standing back at 179 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: midfield when they're pinned back and they want to punt it, 180 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: you want to just punt it deep. You want to 181 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: try to angle it and get away from him. Sometimes 182 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: when you do you have it, that's when you get 183 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: a shank punt, like he had some bad punts because 184 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: him just standing there. So I think that that he 185 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: is valuable in that way, and he's showing some value 186 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: on offense too. It may be Deuce that's inactive this week, 187 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: just to try to get some of these guys back. 188 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: I think they'd be fine if that game was closer. 189 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Duce plays at all the other night. 190 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: So as it stands right now, they're probably trying to 191 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: find some touches for him, and I don't know if 192 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: that's if that's going to happen. And don't forget, and 193 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: I did forget. Actually, I just want to remind you guys. 194 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: Ryald Jones is coming back from from suspension next week. Uh, 195 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with that. Maybe he's on the roster, 196 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: maybe he's not. But but yeah, he is coming back 197 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: from suspension next week. All right, Scott in southern California 198 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: is on the line. Scott, what's up. 199 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 6: Hey, Nick? 200 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 3: How you doing? 201 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 6: Love the new show? 202 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: That's great, appreciate you. 203 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 6: I want to use your eyes eyeballs a little bit 204 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 6: here if I could. Uh, yeah, I know it's hard 205 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 6: to compare players, but these two players went up against 206 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 6: the same guy, DeMarcus Ware when Tyrone was young, and uh, 207 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 6: you know, Micah, now the tyrant's a little bit age. 208 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: How did those two players compare? And I got a 209 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 6: throwback name for you. I'd like to see one of 210 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 6: his tight ends turned into his j novateek and I'll 211 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 6: listen to you off the air. 212 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, man, all right, appreciate that d weare 213 00:09:51,120 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: versus Micah Parsons. Man. I'm Micah Parsons. I'll just say it. 214 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is a better player his first two years 215 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: than d Ware was, and I think that they're both 216 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: gonna be wearing gold here, you know, in however many years. 217 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Mike, I think is he's destined for that. 218 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, 219 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: but that's that's where he is, and he he is better. 220 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: I mean they started, they didn't compare him to Dwear. 221 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: I mean when he when he first started, what last 222 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: year or two years ago. I mean, he was getting 223 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: compared to Lawrence Taylor. That's who his comparison was, and 224 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: so Derek Thomas. So I with all due respect to 225 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Ware, who is in the Hall of Fame and 226 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: he's the all time leading, you know, and for the 227 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys in sacks, but I do I think that Mike 228 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: is trending higher than him right now. And I think 229 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of a game. I think he he 230 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: has that knack of making that really really big play. 231 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: That only knock on DeMarcus was that sometimes the sacks 232 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: were considered hollow, not always to close out the game. 233 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: He did have some New Orleans he closed out the 234 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: game that was on believable, but I think for the 235 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: most part, and that was kind of a product of 236 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: the teams he was on too. He wasn't on the 237 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: best teams either. He had some great teams he was on, 238 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: but not not all the way. Again, this is no 239 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: shadeed to Marcus Ware at all. I just if you're 240 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: going to compare, I think Michah Parsons is trending higher 241 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: than him right now. J Novichik great tight end, great 242 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: fit for that offense with with Troy and Uh and 243 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: what they were doing there in the in the nineties. 244 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: A perfect compliment player UH to him. And you know, 245 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: one of those sneaky good blockers. You know, he just 246 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: knew how to kind of get in the way. But 247 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean it was more of a pass catcher, but 248 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: he could mix it up and get in there. It's 249 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: about all I could say about him, all right. Travis 250 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: in San Antonio is the next caller, Travis, what's up. 251 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 3: I'm bathroom? 252 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 6: What's how's it going? 253 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: What's up? 254 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 3: All right? 255 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: Excited? Okay, I was gonna say I didn't make sure 256 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: that nothing bad happened. You as seem kind of down. 257 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 6: No, No, I'm good. 258 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 7: I just think I had a couple of. 259 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 8: Things going into this week, and I think from what 260 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 8: I've heard from brought us and everybody, E were saying 261 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 8: that Michael Carter was the Nick O'Connell for the Jets, 262 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 8: and he's kind of just a guy. So I'm curious 263 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 8: and I'm kind of expecting maybe to see a lot 264 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 8: of CD in the slot this week, even more so 265 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 8: than maybe even last week, just because you want have 266 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 8: sass and you have DJ read outside and they stay 267 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 8: on their sides, which I think it's interesting. He doesn't travel, 268 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 8: so you can kind of keep if you want to 269 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 8: keep CD away from whom you can. But I think 270 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 8: they want to exploit that that slot matchup with him, 271 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 8: and then I think I want to see what you 272 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 8: think about this. But I know everyone's been talking about 273 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 8: the offense and can't discount the weather and there were 274 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 8: some drops and you know, da, do you look completely 275 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 8: on point? 276 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 4: No? 277 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 8: But I think this week, if you're going to see 278 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 8: more things that are going to help them out short 279 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 8: passing game. I think he's gonna make some good throw 280 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 8: He made some good throws in that game. They were 281 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 8: just dropped. But I'm not too worried about the passing 282 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 8: game from that perspective. I think we're going to see 283 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 8: an uptick in then. And I really like the fact 284 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 8: that they actually started using Mike macarthury started using some rubs, 285 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 8: so thick routes, the things we've been talking about for 286 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 8: years where we're just like, why don't we why don't 287 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 8: we do this in the rules? Why don't we take 288 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 8: advantage of this because everybody else is doing it? 289 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: The CD forty nine yard catch, I mean that was 290 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: like a double pick. I mean I was like, thank you, 291 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: thank you that that's what you need. 292 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, quarterback friend like that you don't have to have, 293 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 8: you know, all day hartist throws. Yeah, make it easy 294 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 8: for him. 295 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome. Thanks for the Thanks for the call, Travis. 296 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: You know, I'll say this, we two can be it 297 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: could be hard to analyze because I mean we one. 298 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: I mean you should still just have one sample size. 299 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: I mean, doesn't matter what they've done in the preseason. 300 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: It's really just one game. So the fact that Sauce 301 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: Gardner typically doesn't travel doesn't mean that he won't. I 302 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: don't know anything there. I barely you know, trying to 303 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: figure out this team much less than anyone else. But 304 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: I'll say this, I wouldn't just throw it out the 305 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: window that he doesn't ever do it. You know, his 306 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: career is not that long. And if Brandon Cooks doesn't play, 307 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: and I don't know if he will or not, I 308 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: know he just missed practice, has play with the knee injury. 309 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: But even if he's limited like that changes their their 310 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: team a little bit. So they they might have to say, look, 311 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: well he's got a guard CD and and we'll see, 312 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, if they throw him all around the place. 313 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: So I just because they have it doesn't mean that 314 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: they won't. Sometimes you're always trying new wrinkles, new new things, 315 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: and it would it just doesn't make sense to me 316 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: if you've got corners like you said, that are just 317 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: the guys that that are over there guarding him, and 318 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: he's over here guarding Michael Gallup and covering Michael Gallup, 319 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: and then they're getting killed over here. That doesn't make sense. 320 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that. You know, if if I'm if 321 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: I have one of the best corners in the league, 322 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to go against one of the best 323 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: receivers in the league, especially if I'm getting beat for it. 324 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: So but you know what, we'll see how it goes. 325 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: Let's go with another phone call date and for work, David, 326 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: and for work, yes, sir, Yes, sir. How are you 327 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: doing today? 328 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 3: Great, sir? 329 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: Great sir. 330 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 4: Hey. 331 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 7: I got two questions. They're kind of like not necessarily 332 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 7: challenging identity or opinion that you've given in the past, 333 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 7: but more so, do I kind of clear up like 334 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 7: I guess the opinions that you do hold. So, like 335 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 7: one of them is kind of regarding some injuries that 336 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 7: we've been facing this week. Like you know, obviously there's 337 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 7: Donovan Wilson and Tyler Smils who you know may be 338 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 7: able to go this week, may not be able to 339 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 7: go this week, And I know that it's very very 340 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 7: important they start off to and oh because that one 341 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 7: in one is way different. You know, come the in Dar, 342 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 7: come playoff time and stuff. But do you consider, like 343 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 7: if they're not one hundred percent go just maybe just 344 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 7: sitting them. You know, this isn't a divisional game, this 345 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 7: isn't a conference game, and we have bigger, better things 346 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 7: to do in the future. Or do you say we 347 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 7: really need to ride high and get all of our 348 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 7: guys back to get into this two and oh? Because 349 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 7: is that's way different than one or one? The second 350 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 7: question I have it if it's okay. The second question 351 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 7: that I have is with Aaron Rodgers being out, there's 352 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 7: been a lot of talk, you know, among the communities 353 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 7: and stuff about, man, we really wanted to play the 354 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 7: best of the best, we wanted to knock off the team, YadA, y'ah, 355 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 7: and that that argument has brought up a lot in 356 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 7: the playoffs as well in recent years. And I kind 357 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 7: of hold the stance of I just want to see 358 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 7: a championship game. I just want to see a super Bowl. 359 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 7: I don't care how I get there. But some people 360 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 7: are like, no, I want to take down the best 361 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 7: of the best. Knowing that you also want to see 362 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 7: a championship game. I just kind of wanted to know 363 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 7: what your stance was, if you'd rather go there and 364 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 7: knock out all the Juggernauts, or you'd rather just get 365 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 7: there because we haven't been there. 366 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: Well, hold on, let me ask you this. You can 367 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: answer your own question. Go back last year. Go back 368 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: last year. You knocked off Tom Brady, you finally did it, 369 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: and then they lost the next week. If Tom Brady 370 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: for some reason did not play in that game and 371 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: you and you found a way to win, what would 372 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: you rather take? Would you rather have taken them beating 373 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: some backup? I don't even know who their backup was. 374 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: You beat the backup Chris Sims. Who knows who the 375 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: backup in Tampa? But I don't even know. But I'm 376 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: just saying, you beat their backup and then you go 377 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: and you win in San Francisco? Would you take that? 378 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: Or did you take what happened last year? 379 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: Me? 380 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 7: Personally, Nick, one hundred times out of one hundred, I'm 381 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 7: hoping that their water Boys plays quarterback because they ran 382 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 7: out of people. I just want to get But I'm thirty, 383 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 7: I'm thirty two years old. So the last time they 384 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 7: had that much success, I was like, I don't even 385 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 7: know how five or something like that. I mean, so 386 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 7: I've been I've been dying for it, man, So it 387 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 7: doesn't matter who it is. 388 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I here, you am, all right. I appreciate 389 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: the call, David. I mean, I just I just think, like, 390 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: like nobody after the San Francisco game, I don't think 391 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: any fan would was like, god, well, at least we 392 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: beat Brady last week. 393 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 3: I don't. 394 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think that happens because when 395 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: you beat Brady and you beat the Bucks and you 396 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: get to the divisional round, you're thinking big at this point, 397 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: like this is the year. So you don't just go 398 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: back and go, well, you know, hey, but we did 399 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: beat Tom Brady. No, so so no one cares if 400 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: you play Aaron Rodgers or you don't, you know. I mean, 401 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: that's just that's just the way it goes. I mean, 402 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: there will be no asterisk about anything. I know. The 403 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: Lions fans were really mad at Mike Turko who said 404 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: that about the about asterisk for beating the Chiefs the 405 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: other night. You don't, I don't agree with that. There's 406 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: no asterisks when it comes to that. There's no asterisks 407 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: and home run records either or anything like that. All right, 408 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: as far as the injuries sit or not, you that's 409 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: not my call. The calls from the Cowboys They're not 410 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: going to throw guys out there that aren't ready to 411 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: play now, and the most important thing is getting them healthy, 412 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: getting them ready for the long haul. Some injuries are different, 413 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: but based off of can you heard it worse? Is 414 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: just are you risking things? And but for the most part, 415 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: they are going to be healthy. I mean one hundred percent. 416 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: Playoffs might be a little different story, but that will 417 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: still come down to the player. And it also will 418 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: come down to is this smart for them to go ahead? 419 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: And are they putting them at risk? And they will 420 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: not do that. All right, Tom in the Bronx, Tom, 421 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: what's up up? 422 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 6: Pay Nick? 423 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: How you doing great? 424 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: Great? Thanks? Tom? 425 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 3: Can you just spend a minute just talking about coach 426 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, about your opinion on him and. 427 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 9: Also specifically about the coaching staff that he built with 428 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 9: the Cowboys. 429 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 3: I'll hang up and all this. 430 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: Thanks. I think Mike McCarthy is just a cool dude, seriously, 431 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: I mean like it. Sometimes what you see is, you know, 432 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: he's old school, he's buttoned up at times, he doesn't 433 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: going to give you a lot of things. I mean 434 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: he's he's paranoid, like all coaches are. They don't they 435 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: think you're giving out too much, and sometimes you know, 436 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: they they're probably right, you know, in some cases, I 437 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: think if you're just sitting down having a beer with him, 438 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: he'd be pretty cool. He's a pretty cool guy. Actually, 439 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: not me by myself, but some other media guys got 440 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: to do that. And you know, some of the things 441 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: that you know he says, and just the way he 442 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: kind of goes about things. I mean, and he said 443 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: this on the air too. But I remember the first 444 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: time we met him when he was the coach. I 445 00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: just remember him going all right, guys, like sure he 446 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: caught it. Yeah, yeah, des caught it. Let me tell 447 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: you this, we had Aaron Rodgers for four minutes. I mean, 448 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: it didn't matter if you caught or not. We're gonna 449 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: go win the game. And I'm sitting here going, yeah, 450 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: probably so. And and that's why I've never really been 451 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: that like hell been on Dez caught it and all that. 452 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: He definitely caught it, But I've always thought, well, they 453 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: did have Aaron Rodgers and there was about four minutes 454 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: to go, and he probably needed a field goal to 455 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: either win or tie that game. So uh. But but 456 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: the staff that he's built, I mean, he he surrounded 457 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: himself with with some coaches that he first got here. 458 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: He surrounded himself with a lot of coaches that had 459 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: been head coaches, I think at five at one point, 460 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: but some veteran guys and you know, and not afraid 461 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: to make changes too when they had to, and they 462 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: had to, you know, they had defense coordinator definitely needed 463 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: to change. So they got, you know, rid of that 464 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: and and put in you know, Dan Quinn. And so 465 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: he's he surrounded himself with with with coaches and guys 466 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: that he's familiar with. But all coaches do that, whether 467 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: it be guys he's coached with or guys he coached them, 468 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: like Al Harris. So you know, I think he's built 469 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: a really good staff and they built some continuity there 470 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: and this year that they've had some changes of course 471 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. But but I 472 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: think for the most part, you know, he's he's done 473 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: a really good job. And you know, the best thing 474 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: he can do is get himself prepared, get the team 475 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: prepared to play, and he's certainly done a good job 476 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: of that. All Right, we're going to take actually I 477 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: got two calls on the lines. A little we'll take 478 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: a call Curtis in Oklahoma. Curtis, what's up. 479 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 9: Hey, I just want to say thanks for letting us 480 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 9: call into your show. I appreciate it. 481 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: Thank you, Curtis. This is this is why we do it. 482 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: So you guys can call in and tell me what 483 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: you're thinking. I'll try to give my thoughts, but I 484 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: want to hear from you guys. So what you got. 485 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 9: I just got a few things all run through real quick. 486 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 9: Trayvon Diggs. His playmaking with the hard hits and the 487 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 9: force fumbles, I mean, wow, just a great way to 488 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 9: take his game to the next level. He's already a 489 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 9: dynamic playmaker, and adding that I think has just been 490 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 9: like something I really seen and was appreciating. The next 491 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 9: thing I want to talk about is like when we 492 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 9: were paying high profile players and like DeMarcus Ware left 493 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 9: to get a Super Bowl ring, I think that's kind 494 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 9: of pivoted a little bit, and we have guys like Hooker, Gilmore, 495 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 9: these vets that want to come here to try to 496 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 9: win Super Bowl. 497 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 6: Is great. 498 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 9: To couple that with the way that we handle the draft, 499 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 9: and I just think that's awesome for team building. And 500 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 9: then the last thing I want to talk about is 501 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 9: I hear a lot from Cowboy fans. Oh, it always 502 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 9: it only matters what we do in the postseason. I 503 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 9: think over the last years, and you look back at 504 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 9: some of the years that we had to run, I 505 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 9: think there was things in the regular season that we 506 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 9: could have done to separate ourselves. Last year I think 507 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 9: to Green Bay and Jacksonville with how hot the Eagles were, 508 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 9: those were definitely missed opportunities. This year, two games against 509 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 9: Philly in a regular season game against San Francisco, I 510 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 9: think are huge opportunities to maybe we don't even see 511 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 9: them in the postseason, you know, to hand them a 512 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 9: loss or two. And last year, while we had a 513 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 9: great team, we would have been on the road all 514 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 9: the way through the postseason if I remember that correctly. 515 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 9: And this year, if you can get a bye in 516 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 9: that first round and have home build advantage, I just 517 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 9: think that's something you can do in the regular season 518 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 9: that kind of is against that narrative of oh well, 519 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 9: it only matters what. 520 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 8: We do in the postseason. 521 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 9: Right, Thanks for taking my call. I'll hang up and 522 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 9: let you, you know, comment to that. 523 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 2: Thank you got it? 524 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're you're you're right. I mean that's 525 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: it does matter. I mean, the regular season certainly matters. There. 526 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: You want to get in the you know, get in 527 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: the tournament, get in there and and make you know 528 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: that that's the most important thing. But you're right, these 529 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: games matter, you know, seventeen games. I mean that that's 530 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: that's it's a long season, but it's not a lot 531 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: when you when you think about how each game does 532 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: matter and how it can affect things down the road, 533 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: especially when you look at division, NFC tiebreakers things of that, 534 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: you know category. So I do think that it's important. Uh, 535 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: regular season games have always important to me. So that's 536 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: why I don't you know, I said it yesterday. Man, 537 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: if you enjoy the ride, enjoy it because because it's 538 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: not just it's not just fun to be here, but 539 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: it matters to like these things, these things matter quickly. 540 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: I'll touch on some of it. I mean the Trayvon Diggs, Yeah, 541 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: the I mean he made a huge play. His physicality 542 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: is showing and you know, just if he can be 543 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: and you know, if he could be a cornerback that 544 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: can play like that, it could be a complete corner 545 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: with the ball skills that he has. I mean, there's 546 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: no doubt, you know, and they got him locked up 547 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: for five years now or so five more years. I 548 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: mean he he has a chance to be one of 549 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: the best, uh you know, in the league and and 550 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: one of the best the cow Weies have had in 551 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: a long long time. All right, let's go back to 552 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: al In Merkele, Texas. We've had him the other day. 553 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: Al Merkele, Texas. What's up? 554 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 3: Hey, what's going on? I got to represent for the Badgers, 555 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 3: you know, go from Stanford, keeps on representing for the Bulldogs. 556 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 3: So I got to keep it up for the Badgers. 557 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: All right. 558 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 3: I got two things. Uh. There for a while we 559 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 3: were really lucky. We had terrible play, you know, some 560 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: of Hail Mary and just stuff that you know, we 561 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: were there were legends made from the Cowboys, and then 562 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: there for a while they were a snake bit. And 563 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 3: the reason I say that is because you know, Jimmy 564 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 3: Johnson leaves, uh, but a few months later, correct me 565 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: if I'm wrong, but delphinter coordinator goes to the Redskins. 566 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 3: If Jimmy would have left a little earlier, we could 567 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 3: have had our offensive coordinator stay with us and maybe 568 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 3: win one, two or more championships. And then the other 569 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 3: one was when the Sales left, Peyton had already left 570 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 3: a few months Rogers in the Orleans. We could have 571 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 3: Peyton coaching Tony Romos. 572 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. I didn't think of it, like 573 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that one makes a little bit 574 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,479 Speaker 1: more sense. I mean, I don't think anybody looks at 575 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: what Nord Turner did with Washington was like man could 576 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: have had him. I understand that his talent was definitely 577 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: different with the Cowboys in Washington. I think he's been 578 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: a he was a good coach, you know, a good 579 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: coach at certain places. He's been in a lot of places. 580 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: But you're right. I mean, that's just kind of the 581 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 1: way the timing kind of kind of works out like that. 582 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 3: One more thing, one more memory. Yeah, do you remember 583 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 3: when Troy Aikman out threw Dion Sanders in the Super Bowl? 584 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 3: In the Super Bowl, Yes, I think it was a 585 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 3: Super Bowl. He uh three step drop, but he overthrew 586 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: Dion and he came back to the sidelines. It was 587 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 3: on a video said I can't believe out through Yeah. 588 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I thanks for the call. My memory 589 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: is different than yours a little bit on that. You 590 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: might be right, but what I remember, and I think 591 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: what you're referring to that was actually against the Falcons 592 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: in his first game. His first game with the Cowboys 593 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: was against the Falcons at the Georgia Dome and he 594 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: threw a deep, deep ball and Dion would dove to 595 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: like the one yard line and missed it. I mean 596 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 1: threw as far as he could throw it, and it 597 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: was like across the field at Dion Dover just missed. 598 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: It would have been a great highlight in the Super 599 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: Bowl that year. He did not outthrow Diana a d ball. 600 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: Deal was kind of waiting for it a little bit. 601 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: It was like a fifty yard pass over the middle, 602 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: grape catch and that kind of set up the first 603 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: touchdown of the game. That's my memory. If you if 604 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: you overthrew Dion in the Super Bowl, I apologize, but 605 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: I think what you're talking about with the NFL films 606 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: caught him on the sideline going I didn't think I 607 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: could outflowd Dian. I think it was against the Falcons there. 608 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm trying to work on I'm not 609 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: trying to correct people. I just my years. I'm a 610 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: little finicky when it comes to years and all that stuff. 611 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: But you're I mean, we're talking about thirty some years 612 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: ago obviously. Well no, no, sorry, twenty eight years ago. 613 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: We all know how many years ago. It was from 614 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five. Everyone talks about that, twenty eight years ago. 615 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: All right, Michael in Germany? Wow, what's up man?

Just how how you know those are 667 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: the dedicated fans for sure, because it's so hard to 668 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: get the news and and and to to get to 669 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: watch the games and to stay current and all that stuff. 670 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: So I appreciate that, uh more than you know. It's 671 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: hard to say, oh, I want to see them or 672 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: want to face them, you know, not not really. I'm sorry, 673 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't have a better answer for you. 674 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 6: Uh. 675 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: You know, I the matchups like that, you know, I 676 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: don't get too worked up about the schedule in April 677 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: because of what happened right now, you think, oh, you're 678 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: gonna get Aaron Rodgerson, we two and you don't. So also, 679 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: oh the Bills and and the Dolphins, and you know 680 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: late in the year, what if it's not what if 681 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: it's not a big game, what if it doesn't matter? 682 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: You know, you just never know. And so I don't 683 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: really get too worked up about certain places. And you know, 684 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: and and you know, there's some AFC teams, you know, 685 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: places we don't go to for every eight years, you know, 686 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: like you know, I enjoy going to Pittsburgh. I like that, 687 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: but usually don't enjoy the outcome. But the last time 688 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: I think we were there was at sixteen. I mean, 689 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: that was one of the best games I can remember. 690 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: So you know, when you go to place like that 691 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: and you get a win, you know, that's fun just 692 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: because of from a historical standpoint. But Denver is another 693 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: place which I don't know if the Cowboys have ever 694 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: won in Denver, you know that that I've I've seen 695 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: in the regular season, so probably missing one. They made 696 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: of one. But for the most part, no, not really. 697 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: So all right, let's go to the phone line. We 698 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: got Chase in Northwest Arkansas. Chase, I got a question 699 00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: for you. Go ahead, Is Rocket playing? This is a 700 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: good question. I feel like probably not. 701 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 5: Coach Coach Pittman is probably probably fifty to fifty. I 702 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 5: would guess I actually helped sport the away team. I'm 703 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 5: a police officer. I helped to sport the away team 704 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 5: to the games. 705 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: Oh okay, so you got yeah. But my question is 706 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: about he's a Northwest Arkansas wh's right over by where 707 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: the Arkansas Razorbacks play of a game against BYU. Rocket 708 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: Sanders is their star running back, and I think he's 709 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: actually been ruled out for that game. So good luck, 710 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: good luck turning, you know, getting BYU to the stadium 711 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: late or whatever you're going to do there, Chase, what's up? 712 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: What do you got? 713 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: Hey? 714 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 5: So one thing I just want to bring up cool memory. 715 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 5: You're the history guy, a player that I actually went 716 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 5: to offense defense football camp in two thousand and three 717 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 5: at University of Texas at Dallas, and we had a 718 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 5: few Dallas Cowboys come visit while we were at that camp, 719 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 5: and one of them was James Waylan and he came 720 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 5: with Ross Tucker and they gave us a cool, just 721 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 5: cool pep talk. Being a young kid twelve years old 722 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 5: at the time and getting that pep talk from real 723 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 5: life NFL players. Now, other people showed up, like Anthony 724 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 5: dor said, Tony dor set Son, and I think, what 725 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 5: what do you dance on? Keith Davis High? 726 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: Wow. 727 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll never forget James Whalen was the most humble 728 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 5: guy and for I mean a player that not a 729 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 5: lot of people will ever know was on the team. 730 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 5: He was the guy that once I got home, I 731 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 5: got on mat and I made sure I made him 732 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 5: all ninety nine. She was my star tight end on real. 733 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: Quick, real quick question for you? What number was James Whalen? 734 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 10: Oh shoot, I'm. 735 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: Sorry, it's a trick question because he wore five. He 736 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: wore five numbers. He was like eighty one, eighty two, 737 00:33:53,800 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: eighty three, forty five and maybe like eighty five and 738 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: he worried wore but. 739 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 5: Whatever, I remember he was eighty one whenever I was 740 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 5: at the camp. Yeah, that's because that's what he signed 741 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 5: my football as eighty one, and the Ross Tucker I 742 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 5: believe signed sixty six. Ye. So but anyways, it was 743 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 5: just a cool memory. I remember you talking about James 744 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 5: Whitalan in the past and how humble of a guy 745 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 5: he was. He truly was, and he was just it 746 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 5: was a really awesome experience as a twelve year old 747 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 5: kid to watch him and listen to him. But what 748 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 5: I want to talk about on this current roster is 749 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 5: everybody being difficult with Dak after a game. Anybody that's 750 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 5: ever played football knows that, especially when you're handling the 751 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 5: football any kind of moisture, let alone a downpour like 752 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 5: they were dealing with. I think that it's it's quick 753 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 5: to say he had an off game or Dak looked 754 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 5: like he was rusty, all this kind of stuff. Hell Man, 755 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 5: anytime you're going to play in that kind of weather, 756 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 5: the kind of ball that he played, especially with a 757 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 5: complimentary defense, I think it was just I think we'll 758 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 5: see what kind of player Dak Prescott's gonna be whenever 759 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 5: he's playing at and T Stadium this Sunday, and that 760 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 5: we're gonna see a leader of men that we've always 761 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 5: seen in Dak Prescott. But we'll also see more of 762 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,720 Speaker 5: what we heard from Mike McCarthy himself. 763 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 6: The weather. 764 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 5: The weather definitely changed their playbook so getting to see 765 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 5: I mean, but we still got to see I mean 766 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 5: down near the goal line that play where it was 767 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 5: a designed Dak run to the left. I mean, I'm 768 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 5: excited to see those kind of things where Dak is 769 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 5: it's just designed and the fact that he was getting 770 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 5: the ball out in two point three seconds is just 771 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 5: is just going to help him. And I'm excited to 772 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 5: see what they do this weekend. Even I'm not throw 773 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 5: any shade against this Jets defense. I think they're phenomenal 774 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 5: what they were able to do to bail Zach Wilson 775 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 5: out of the game the other night against the Bills. 776 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 5: But I think I don't even think this game is closed. 777 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 5: I think I think two score, if not three score 778 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 5: ball game by the end of the night. Go Cowboys, 779 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 5: and all. 780 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: Right, thank you. Thanks.

James Waitlan like is one of my 790 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: all time favorite players that's ever played. I consider him. 791 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of guys I would say 792 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: like that was my friend. James Waylan is a friend 793 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: of mine. I still talk to him a lot. He's 794 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: doing great living in Fort Worth and he's doing he's 795 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: doing awesome. And uh yeah, he's he's one of my 796 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: favorite favorite guys that's ever played for the Cowboys. Tells 797 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: a lot of good stories and and yeah, like you said, 798 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: really really good dude, that that does. I didn't know 799 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: that story, but that doesn't surprise me at all about 800 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: him going and giving some good advice and just being 801 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: real because he's that's the thing. He's just a cool dude. 802 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: And uh so he was, you know, in a great 803 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: college player like most of these guys, but he was 804 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: a great college player. I think Kentucky actually put him 805 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: in their Hall of Fame not too long ago because 806 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: he was an unbelievable tied end and really a tough 807 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: mismatch there. And that's that's what he was in college. 808 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: I think, I mean that's what he was in the 809 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: NFL too. I think injuries kind of hurt him a 810 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: little bit there. We pretty much out of time here 811 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: and that that was it for the calls because we 812 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: got to go a little bit earlier than normal today 813 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: because we have Mike McCarthy's press conference coming up here live. 814 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: It should should be at ten forty five. A lot 815 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: of good stuff though from you guys today, a lot 816 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: of great, great start. We got ten calls. Will take 817 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: that all day long, especially on a little bit of 818 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: a of a shorter show. Going back to that last 819 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: caller that he was talking about Dak playing well and 820 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 1: and I think I think the consensus is this, people 821 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: want to want just want to nitpick a little bit 822 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: and go, oh, this new offense, and they didn't see 823 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: what they wanted to see. The game got out of hand. 824 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: It was It was not going to be conducive of 825 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: Dak putting up a lot of stats. But the stat 826 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: that he didn't put up is the one you should worry, 827 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: you should be excited about. I mean, there was no interceptions, 828 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: no turnovers, and it was in a you know, it 829 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: was a spot where you're going to turn the ball 830 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: over a little bit. It's hard to kind of keep 831 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: your hands on the football, and I thought he did that. 832 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: They all did a good job of that. Pollard did 833 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: have the fumble that they recovered, the Cowboys recovered, But 834 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: for the most part, I mean, I thought they did 835 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: a great job there. Dak did what you're supposed to 836 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: do in a game like that. Drove the offense, they scored, 837 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: They took care of the football, they took care of 838 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: the lead, and they made sure that they did their 839 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: part while the defense and special teams will certainly do 840 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: in theirs. All right, So this was This will be 841 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: our show for today. We'll come back tomorrow, same time, 842 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: ten o'clock, probably go just a little bit longer.
