1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The following.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 3: Cowboys.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 4: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 5: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 5: Eatman here and we are wrapping up the month of October.

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 5: I can't believe it's already been two months here in

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 5: this Cowboys season obviously not going like the Cowboys had hoped,

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 5: sitting at three and four as they head into this

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 5: week's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Tough, tough team to

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 5: kind of figure out as far as what to expect

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 5: in the games. I mean we we kind of can

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 5: see what the problem is with this football team, and

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 5: it starts in the running game, whether you want to

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 5: say running the ball stopping the on either way, the

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 5: Cowboys are near the bottom, if not at the bottom

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 5: of the league in those those two categories, and so

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 5: can't stop the run or run the football, you're not

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 5: gonna win a lot of games. So three sitting at

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 5: three and four with those kind of stats is actually

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 5: a little bit of a surprise, especially when you consider

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 5: the injuries that they've had. But everyone's dealing with injuries.

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 5: We saw that. We saw that last week against the

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 5: forty nine ers as well, and the Cowboys got to

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 5: figure out ways to overcome them. They really haven't done

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 5: that in some of these games against a good competition.

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 5: And the schedule doesn't get any easier at Atlanta this

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 5: week and then of course Philadelphia, Houston at Washington after that.

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 5: So you know, this feels like this game against the

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 5: Falcons has won. The Cowboys certainly have to win all

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: of them really at this point. I mean, you know,

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: when you're sitting at three and four, they're all they're

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 5: all very very important to get where you want to go.

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: All right, eight eight eight eight five five two two

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 5: ninety seven is the number to call. We've got Pete

37
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 5: on the line to start us off. So Pete in Connecticut,

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 5: let's go.

39
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: How's it going, Nick good? How are you good?

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 6: I just want to bring a little sunshine on the

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 6: sadness of the Cowboy situation right now. I still believe

42
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 6: in Dak and I still believe that we're gonna sneak

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 6: into the wild Card. And I think at this point

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 6: we're having so many struggles on offense. Let's just give

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 6: Jason Witten and des Brian.

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 7: To call and get some heart back in that locker room.

47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 6: All right, thanks, Nick, have a great day, Bud.

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I don't know. I don't know about

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 5: the heart in the locker room. I'll never say that

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: and question anybody's heart, but I do think that, you know,

51
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 5: I don't know if you need those guys. How about

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 5: just the guys on the team, like the guys on

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: the roster. You know, it's not it's injuries happened to

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 5: everyone and so that's not necessarily excuses. But I can

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: promise you this that nobody's dealing with with.

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, two guys that.

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 5: Were the Defensive Player of the Year candidates, you know,

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 5: for for Defensive Player of the Year in the NFL

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: last year. They didn't win, but but you know two

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 5: of the of the finalists or Micah Parsons and Deron

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 5: Bland though those were those were big time players for

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 5: the NFL last year, not just the Cowboys. So the

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 5: fact that both of them have been out here for

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: you know, Bland the whole season so far and Micah

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 5: for four games this this could be four games if

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: he misses this week. So yeah, that that's that's a big,

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 5: big loss. There's no doubt about it. And the Cowboys

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: just haven't done as good a job as as you

69
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 5: as you have to do in those situations to replace them.

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 5: So you know, that's that's on the It's on the Cowboys.

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: It's on the ownership and the front office and the

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 5: coaches and all of them to to to do that

73
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: because you know, injuries happened. So but let's stop mistake

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: those are those are tough losses there. Mike in Birmingham,

75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: England is next.

76
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 8: Mike Nicking if you caught up on your sleep yet.

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Getting there? Getting there? Catching up?

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 9: Yeah?

79
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: How are you?

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm all right, thank you? Yeah. You know, Nick,

81
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 8: during the bye week, I sort of made my peace

82
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 8: with this season, and actually on Sunday night, we've got

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 8: closer than I thought we were going to get. We

84
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 8: had the chance to win it. We probably shouldn't have

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 8: been in that position, but you know, we did better

86
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 8: than I thought. But I'm not giving up. We've got

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 8: ten games to go and we can get on a run.

88
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 8: But at the same time, I think I know where

89
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 8: we are and is it scheme? Is it injuries? Is

90
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 8: it that we didn't have the pieces in the first place?

91
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 8: Probably all of the above. So my thought, and I

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 8: wonder what you think about this is, you know, any

93
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 8: thought of trades or anything like that. I think, let's

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 8: keep hold of our draft capital. Let's save as much

95
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 8: cap space as possible. Well the rest of this season, yep,

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 8: we might get on a run, we might do wonderful things,

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 8: but it's an audition for those players on the edges.

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 8: You know, how much do you want it and how

99
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 8: good are you show us? And let's build. Didn't want

100
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 8: to be saying that after week seven, and it would

101
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 8: be lovely to be proven wrong and we go.

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 9: On a run.

103
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 8: But just wondering what you think should we be throwing

104
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 8: things in for trades or is it time to look

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 8: forward now?

106
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well thanks for the call.

107
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that that's such a broad question

108
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 5: because every situation is so different, you know. I think

109
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 5: if there is a if there is a player that

110
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 5: makes sense to bring in that can help you right away,

111
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 5: then then I would be okay doing that. Like you said,

112
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 5: it's a long season still and ten games to go,

113
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 5: and not I'm not out of anything, but it's got

114
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 5: to be that that rare situation where that guy for

115
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: some reason is on the trade block. Over here, but

116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 5: he can help you here, and he's not gonna take

117
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 5: three to four or five weeks to get ready.

118
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: That's that's the big thing.

119
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you know when they made that trade for

120
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: Amari Cooper, I mean he was you know, he's a

121
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 5: very very good route runner, very smart player, understood of

122
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 5: the offense. I believe it was a bye week when

123
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: when they did that, so it was able to to

124
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: kind of get him up to speed and and that

125
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 5: thing took off. And I think the Cowboys more than anything,

126
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 5: are probably looking at the injured players that they have

127
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 5: to kind of help boost them since there are so

128
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: many and so many key players there. So you know,

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 5: when when you look at veteran guys that can come

130
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: back and help, you know, Micah Parsons obviously they're on bland,

131
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 5: DeMarcus Lawrence here at some point, Brandon Cooks, you know,

132
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: maybe Jordan Phillips, sure where he fits into all this,

133
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 5: but that could be one if he was healthy. So

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 5: you know, there's some that's probably the route they're going

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 5: to go. But but if something made sense that that

136
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: could be a plug and play guy that that could

137
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 5: really stop the bleeding in certain areas. I mean I

138
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 5: don't know why you wouldn't consider that, especially you don't

139
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 5: have to give up too much in capital for that.

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: All right, Charles in Austin, Texas.

141
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 9: How's it going.

142
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 10: Oh, you know, it's uh, just going through it the

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 10: best that I can, just trying to figure out what

144
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 10: can be done still and uh, what's what's ahead in

145
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 10: the future. But it's kind of a two parter here. Uh,

146
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 10: you know, it seems like we're going through a lot

147
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 10: of the same things over and over again. So I

148
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 10: mean it's it's like, what can we do during this season?

149
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 10: And you know, going from all into a soft rebuild,

150
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 10: it kind of feels more like, you know, we got

151
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 10: to get some more pieces to actually put into motion

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 10: what we really need to do maybe next season. So

153
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 10: I was just kind of trying to get your insight

154
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 10: on those two aspects.

155
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, you know, I did the Cowboys ever

156
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: say soft rebuild? I mean, like that that's a term

157
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: I keep hearing. I don't know if the Cowboys have

158
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 5: ever said that. Now I understand what Jerry said about

159
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 5: all in and still to this day, not everybody understands

160
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 5: I think what what he was trying to say or

161
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 5: his interpretation is just different than what most people consider

162
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 5: for that. But I think, I think what what has

163
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 5: to happen, what the Cowboys are banking on is is

164
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 5: continuing to get this offensive line in a situation where

165
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: you know they can actually be good for this team

166
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 5: and not not liabilities. And that's kind of what what's happened.

167
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: And I'm and I do think the rookies will grow,

168
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 5: but I'm not just putting it all on them. I

169
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: think the combination of this line this is about as

170
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 5: bad of an offensive line as we've seen here for

171
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: a long time, just because they went with two young

172
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 5: guys at crucial spots on your line, the center and

173
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: left tackle, and they're learning, they're learning as you go here.

174
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: Tyler Smith, he's he's fine. Zach Martin has not been

175
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 5: to Zach Martin that we've seen, and and not even

176
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 5: to his standards, Like it's one thing to say, well,

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 5: this is the standard of Zach Martin, and now he's

178
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 5: playing here. There's been some stretches where he's played even

179
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 5: below that, and so that's that's that's concerning. We'll see

180
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: how if he can turn things around here. And this

181
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: is what I would believe to be his final season

182
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: with the Cowboys and probably in the NFL. So we'll

183
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 5: see how how how that that goes with him. I

184
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 5: know he's got a back injury. That that's that's not good.

185
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 5: And you can't do anything if you don't have a

186
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 5: back that that you know, and we all know that

187
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: just in life again. But he's playing, and he's out

188
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 5: there and he and he he knows he needs to

189
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 5: play better. He said that in the locker room the

190
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: last week. Terrence Steele as well, you know, we've seen

191
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: too many times where they they've given up some some

192
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 5: big plays and and you know, everybody's got great pass rushers,

193
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 5: and the Cowboys have faced seems like the best ones.

194
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: But you know they should have been ready for it

195
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 5: in training camp. I mean, if Micah Parsons is also

196
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 5: in that group, then that's what you that's what you

197
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 5: get prepared for. So and Micaeh was really good in

198
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 5: training camp too, if I remember, all right, let's go

199
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 5: to Bob in Nashville, Tennessee.

200
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: Yes, what's going on?

201
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 7: Hey, there's so much we could talk about about the Cowboys.

202
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 7: But I have a question and I was thinking about it.

203
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 7: You know, been a fan for forty some years. But

204
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 7: back in let's say the sixties, seventies, eighties, when did

205
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 7: they start having coaches come to the podium after a

206
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 7: game and talk to the media. And you know, when

207
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 7: did the full access to the players begin or has

208
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 7: this been something that's been in the league for years

209
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 7: or forever?

210
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 5: What are you talking about guys going to the podium

211
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 5: or just open locker.

212
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Room or what.

213
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you know, like after the game, Mike mccarthiel

214
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 7: talked but park to Dak Prescott right after the game,

215
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 7: so you know, when emotions are really high and where

216
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 7: I'm going at here is like with tray Von Diggs

217
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 7: and stuff. How long has that been going on? It

218
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 7: has been going on since the inception of the NFL,

219
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 7: or was this just something over the last thirty years?

220
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: Well, two different things, because you know, I don't know

221
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: exactly when the podium's happened. You know, I would say

222
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: somewhere in the eighties nineties probably of coaches going to

223
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 5: a potum a podium.

224
00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: Obviously that's a thing.

225
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: I mean there's a shot of Tom Landry talking like

226
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 5: in the locker room with some reporters after the Super Bowl,

227
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 5: so way back then. So I'm just saying it's evolved

228
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 5: over the years when the media got you know, more

229
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 5: and more where.

230
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: It's just too much space.

231
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: But but I'll say that the Trademond dig situation is

232
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,479
Speaker 5: a little different because this was like him going outside

233
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 5: of the locker room and and you know, and that's

234
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 5: that's also a product. He's still there, Bob. Yeah, I

235
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 5: am all right, because I'm gonna get your take on.

236
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: I'm sure you have a follow up to this as well.

237
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying that social media and cell phones

238
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: and things like that quick quickly getting the information of

239
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 5: what is being said and who you need to confront.

240
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 5: I mean, that's obviously different just based off of social

241
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 5: media and cell phones and things like that. And Trayvon

242
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 5: came outside of the locker room uniform still on and

243
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 5: uh and decided to do that. And I think he

244
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 5: knows that's not a good look. But I've heard him

245
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 5: talk about it sense and he hasn't necessarily apologized to that.

246
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 5: But it's not a great look for him. Is he

247
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: warranted in what he's you know saying? Sure, but still

248
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 5: not not the best look to do that.

249
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 7: But yeah, no, and I agree with you that that

250
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 7: you know, yeah, I mean, Mi Jong, he learns, you know,

251
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 7: it's a learning moment. But my point of bringing that

252
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: up is that I think it's really harmful to the

253
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 7: players and coaches to have to answer questions right after

254
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 7: a game, because you know, emotions are high, feelings are raw,

255
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 7: and I know with social media, with the TV contracts

256
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 7: and all that stuff, the media wants access. But there's

257
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 7: got to be some give here where you know, these

258
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 7: players and coaches don't have to sit there and take

259
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 7: some Some questions are very good, but some are very

260
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 7: not good. And it's really irritating sometimes to listen to

261
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 7: these questions right after a game, like you know, what happened, Well,

262
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 7: we lost, you know, And that's I think why Belichick

263
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 7: and Parcels was always so, you know, tend to be

264
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 7: very say very few words. So I don't know why.

265
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 7: I just wonder what your take is on that. And

266
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 7: I know you're a media guy, so you probably want

267
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 7: access all the time. But I just think sometimes it's

268
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 7: counterproductive because sometimes coaches and players can say things in hindsight,

269
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 7: a couple of days later, they think, man, why did

270
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 7: I say that?

271
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean that that's a very good question.

272
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: And it's a very good topic and it's and it's

273
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 5: one and the reason why it's good. Bob, Thanks, thank

274
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: you for the call. I appreciate, appreciate that different perspective.

275
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 5: And and this is where it's tricky because it's it

276
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: toes the line. There is a ten minute cooling off period,

277
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: so it's not right after the game emotions and all that.

278
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 5: And let's let's also be honest about this part too.

279
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: You're talking about the interviews and stuff like that, and

280
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: right after the game emotions are high. Again I'm not

281
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 5: finger pointing here because it's very general, but when you

282
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: see players after the game, smiling, laughing with the other team,

283
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 5: taking off the jersey, signing it on the field, and

284
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 5: you know, walking off with another team's jersey and stuff

285
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 5: like that. Every player is different, but I'm saying it

286
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 5: happens a lot. So they seem pretty cooled off at

287
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: some at that point. And and again, you know this

288
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: particular one with with Trayvon, he he kind of you know,

289
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: he came out. I think what it happened was is

290
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: he was alerted to certain things. I don't know if

291
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: he went and just searched things. I think he was

292
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 5: told look what the people are saying, and he you know,

293
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 5: then then he responded to it as well. The questions

294
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 5: about what happened and stuff like that. Yeah, I mean it.

295
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 5: It does get kind of weird at times when you're

296
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 5: asking players what happens first, even the coach, you know,

297
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 5: your offensive line, he's not going to tell you that

298
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: he wants to look at the tape. He's not going

299
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 5: to throw any player under the bus, especially if he

300
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 5: hasn't seen the tape. So so it's it's kind of

301
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: tough sometimes to get a good answer, But you want

302
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 5: those emotions, you know, And that's what's that's the two

303
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: sided thing with the media. That's the power of the press,

304
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: because the media will say, well, this guy was boring.

305
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 5: He doesn't ever give you anything that says this. But

306
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 5: if he does give you an emotion, oh my god,

307
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: you know what, why would he say such a thing?

308
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 5: He should apologize for that. So, you know, the media

309
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: a lot of times, I think we we are guilty

310
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 5: of asking for more raw emotion and really good answers,

311
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: and sometimes when you get it, then it's then you're

312
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 5: like you're shocked of like, why would a guy say

313
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 5: something like this? That's why that's this has been going

314
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 5: on for a long time. I don't even know if

315
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 5: I'm making sense in that answer. I think the point

316
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 5: of it is is that there's really no right, right

317
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: or wrong answer there. You know, the media, the media

318
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 5: ask questions, the guys in the media. There's certain people

319
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 5: that we see and everyone has an opinion of somebody

320
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: else and that's a dumb question, or mine was a

321
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: dumb question, or what's this guy saying?

322
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

323
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, it happens all the time and players. And

324
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 5: I'll say this about the Trayvon situation. I said it

325
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: yesterday on the radio. Be real careful when you're criticizing

326
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 5: a player, especially on defense, because you don't know what

327
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 5: the assignment is all the time. I learned that with

328
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 5: the Roy Williams long long time ago, people would love

329
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 5: to pile on about Roy Williams, just like they like

330
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 5: to pilon about Trayvon Diggs. Everyone you know, needs these

331
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 5: we need a scapegoat, I guess. And it's always real

332
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 5: cliche to say that about Trayvon and his tackling or whatever.

333
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 5: I think the part that Trayvon was upset about is

334
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 5: that he played a pretty good game.

335
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: The other night he played well.

336
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 5: There wasn't a lot of talking about what Trayvon is

337
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 5: doing and is getting in there and making tackles and

338
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 5: stuff like that. I've never had a problem really with

339
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 5: with the way he plays, what they're asking him to do,

340
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 5: what they paid him to do. I don't I don't

341
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: really fault him. And if people want to want to

342
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 5: disagree with that, that that's fine, but I don't. I

343
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 5: don't necessarily agree with that. I thought the play in

344
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: question was was fine. I thought Trayvon did what he

345
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 5: was supposed to do, made the play. So I think

346
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 5: that's what he was kind of upset about. And the

347
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 5: whole situation was was was bad. Uh, And in my opinion,

348
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 5: I think the reporter got exactly what he was wanting

349
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 5: and he continues to get that. I didn't like the

350
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 5: way some of all that kind of went down, but

351
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 5: you know, you can't ever control that. Everyone's got their

352
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 5: own opinions on how they deal with that. Uh, let's

353
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 5: go to Chuck and Bridge City, Texas.

354
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: Chuck d Hey, Nick, Hey, Chuck.

355
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 11: So yeah, on that game. I don't know if y'all

356
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 11: listen to the broadcast, I know you're at the games

357
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 11: but they brought up the it was National tat Ends

358
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 11: Day and they were saying at one point like, who's

359
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 11: going to get a Kiddle or or or our guy Ferguson. Well,

360
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 11: obviously it was Kittle because he showed up and had

361
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 11: a huge game. Seems to have a career game every

362
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 11: time he plays this And uh, I can't stand that

363
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 11: guy because he wore that shirt you know that said

364
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 11: f Dallas last year.

365
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 10: So that.

366
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 11: Just frustrating because you want to stop him and he

367
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 11: obviously he was their biggest player, and he kept making plays, yeah.

368
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: And well hard to watch. He put that.

369
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: I put a lot of that on the scheme too,

370
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: you know. I mean there's you know, and there's there's

371
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 5: ways you can cover him. You know, you can try.

372
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: You know. Here's what I didn't like.

373
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 5: They had three cornerbacks active for the game, and they

374
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 5: got a ton of guys on the practice squad that

375
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 5: they could have elevated if.

376
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: They wanted to.

377
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: So because of the injury situation that they had, and

378
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 5: and also just they decided to put Booth inactive, so

379
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 5: they didn't have a lot of options there already going

380
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 5: into the game. My point is that you've got you

381
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 5: want to take out Kittle, put a corner on him,

382
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 5: Put put you know, Diggs or you know a on him.

383
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 5: You probably won't have that that kind of production. But

384
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: then what happens to the other guys, And they didn't

385
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 5: have a lot of help there. So I don't know

386
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 5: if I love the way that was. There was one

387
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 5: guy that could really beat him and that was Kittle

388
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 5: and he certainly did. Yeah, so that that that's frustrating, yes.

389
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 11: And the other thing I know that was a long point,

390
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 11: but over Shawn the stud and that was a highlight

391
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 11: for me for that game. Was that sad and he

392
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 11: almost could have, you know, put us in his position

393
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 11: to win, but it didn't happen. But anyways, he's the

394
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 11: stud and that's what I got so.

395
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: For Yeah, agreed, thank you, Chuck.

396
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 5: I mean, Overshowing is one of those good, young, exciting players,

397
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 5: really good player and he's going to get better. He's

398
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 5: got the attitude that you want. After the game, asking

399
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: him about that play and he was like, you know,

400
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 5: he basically in so many words, was like I let

401
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 5: down the team. He didn't say I failed the team,

402
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 5: but he was like, I let down the team on

403
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 5: that play. And you know, you're like, uh, that was

404
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 5: that was a really good play. You nailed the quarterback

405
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 5: and got him off the field. And he looks at

406
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 5: it like, I've got to get him to fumble, you know.

407
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: I mean, he's got the ball in his hands and

408
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 5: I and I hit him from the backside. He's I've

409
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 5: got to have my technique, has got to get where

410
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 5: my arms in there. I got to get the ball.

411
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 5: And I love that answer because that's a player that

412
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 5: that says I didn't do enough to help us win.

413
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 5: And I don't know if that if that we see

414
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 5: that as much anymore. And I'm not just talking with

415
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 5: the Cowboys. I'm talking about the whole league. I mean,

416
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 5: you see it all the time. Uh, A lot of

417
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 5: people worried about themselves, worried about you know what, what

418
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 5: what's good for them, where their stats look like and

419
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 5: over shown. He's just he's he's kind of a throwback player.

420
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 5: And again I'm not I'm not saying what players do

421
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 5: this or not. I just know for him, he's trying

422
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: to you know, he's trying to win the game. I mean,

423
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 5: and that's the biggest thing for him. But when it

424
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 5: doesn't happen, I mean Overshown always talks. He always stands

425
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 5: up there, does it, faces the music. You know you

426
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 5: can you can get you know, good quotes out of

427
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 5: him right after the game, and and and you know

428
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 5: he's he's pretty honest about it. So I liked that

429
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 5: answer from him. Yes it was a great play, but

430
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: he knows, you know, they didn't win, and that was

431
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 5: one of those that you know, you could have you

432
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 5: could have knocked the ball out. And I don't know

433
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 5: how he does doesn't fumble to one of those plays.

434
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 5: It's reminded me of the Jeff Heath sack against Aaron

435
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 5: Rodgers in that playoff game in sixteen, where somehow Aaron

436
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 5: Rodgers held onto the ball and then ended up making

437
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 5: a great play afterwards. But you know, he was hit

438
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: so hard you would expect the guy to fumble. It

439
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 5: could have changed everything. Imagine if the Cowboys would have

440
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 5: got that fumble just the other night against the Niners,

441
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 5: wh would have been great. All right's take a break

485
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 5: on the radio Tuesday on one O five to three.

486

488
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 5: and moving forward all the time. So I guess we

489
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 5: can focus on that as well. Rob in Vegas is next.

490
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 9: Rob.

491
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: What's up?

492
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 13: Hey?

493
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: Nick?

494
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: Hey? Rob? What's up? Man?

495
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: We Well, unfortunately you have to look back because I

496
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: think what's happening with this team stems from last year

497
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 2: and Jerry's unwillingness to fire Mike McCarthy after the Green

498
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,239
Speaker 2: Bay game. And the reason why I say that is

499
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: you said this, You threw this season away because you

500
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: didn't want to build a team around the coach that

501
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: you're going to fire. You came out after that basically

502
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: the green Bay loss. Yeah, he's got one year left. Uh,

503
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: he's pretty much going to have to get to the

504
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: NFC Championship to keep his job. But yet you took

505
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: away so much. You lost your starting center, You're running

506
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: back to your better pass rushers, your defensive tackle and

507
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: you never replaced them. You lost your your defensive coordinator.

508
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: You're bringing a guy that now they got to learn,

509
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: So you were setting this guy up to fail this year.

510
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: And what bothers me is if you knew you were

511
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: going to go into the offseason and you were going

512
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: to drop ninety something million dollars with dak in CD

513
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: and we all felt this was a.

514
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 9: Good team, white throw the season away.

515
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: You should have fired McCarthy after last year because you

516
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: showed that you have no faith in him, because you

517
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: weren't going to extend him and build around that team

518
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: from last year, which we all felt was very good.

519
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: But instead he was willing to throw this season away.

520
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: And I just find it crazy to invest that kind

521
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: of money in two players that you basically are going

522
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: to lose a year of productivity. And the only way

523
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: those contracts make sense is you have to win a

524
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: super Bowl, you know, and so does you know Buffalo

525
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: and Philadelphia, those teams that are dropping that kind of money.

526
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 2: The only way that makes sense is you got to win.

527
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: You have to win a super Bowl. But that's my

528
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: feeling he threw the seasy because there was no way

529
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: he's That's why they're not going to add any players.

530
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: And it makes sense why a players. Now, the new

531
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: coach that comes in, he's got to have to say

532
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: and how this team is going to be built, and

533
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: that's why they're just going to ride it out.

534
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 9: That's why you hear him.

535
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: Say, all, we're going to look at the young guys.

536
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 9: Of course you are.

537
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: You got no choice, that's all you got. So it's

538
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: just I really have never seen a really good team

539
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: just throw the following year away.

540
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 5: I haven't either, purpose I haven't either, and I still

541
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 5: have not. I don't, So you didn't.

542
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't know whether they threw the season away. I don't.

543
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 13: I don't.

544
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: They're throwing it away right now.

545
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: But you have Wait a minute, you don't agree by

546
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: him not extending Mike McCarthy.

547
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: What was he saying he did that? That doesn't that

548
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: doesn't throw in the season away?

549
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 13: What if he was okay?

550
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: But he set him up for failure, don't.

551
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 5: I don't think he set him up for failure. I

552
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 5: think I think that the I don't think he set

553
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 5: him up for failure.

554
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: Well, who did he didn't bring in anybody?

555
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 7: You don't not replace.

556
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 13: You don't study law.

557
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: You act like they had them. You don't replace people

558
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 5: that you lose in free agency.

559
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't replace those guys like like, but

560
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: you didn't.

561
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: You didn't even you brought in a rookie Setter.

562
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 9: Was there any of.

563
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 5: Those moves that they should have made? I mean any

564
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 5: of those moves? Seriously? You you you can say this

565
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 5: stuff now. Do you think they should have paid ten

566
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 5: million for be honest? Do you think they should have

567
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 5: paid eight million? Or for Pollard? Do you think they

568
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 5: should have done all those or Durrance any of those

569
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: moves that he made?

570
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: Do you really know what they should have done?

571
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: I would have paid. I probably would have paid darnz oldsru.

572
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 5: Fifteen million dollars. No, you wouldn't have robbed. You would

573
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 5: not have paid ar darm from fifteen million a year.

574
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 4: Guy.

575
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: You know, we could say what we want about Darns Armstrong,

576
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: but he's the only guy to get sacked. The Marcus

577
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: Lawrence is gone after this year.

578
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 13: I get it.

579
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 5: But there's no way with Sam Williams here. There's no

580
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 5: way that you would.

581
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: Have paid if william is a head case?

582
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: So are you?

583
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 9: So?

584
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 10: Am I?

585
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Where all are? I mean? You know what I'm saying.

586
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 13: Is what I'm saying is you know that Mike McCarthy

587
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 13: was set up for failure.

588
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: He was already basically said you got one year.

589
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 13: Make it work with this. I'm going to give you this. Yes,

590
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 13: it's not going to be as good as the team

591
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 13: as last year, but I expect you to do more.

592
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 13: I expect you to get further in the playoffs. What

593
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 13: a worst team, and if you do not, you're fired.

594
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 13: You should have fired him last year. You should have

595
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 13: brought in Bella, Chuck.

596
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 9: Or whoever you are going to begin.

597
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 13: At least he would have been been able to.

598
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 11: Build on that team.

599
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: You just threw this year away.

600
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: All right.

601
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: I don't know if I don't agree with that, but

602
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 5: I mean that's certainly your opinion. Thank you Rob for that.

603
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 5: All right, let's keep let's keep going here. We've got

604
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: Randy in California.

605
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 9: Hey, what's up, Nick? How's it going good?

606
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

607
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 14: I'm doing fine.

608
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 4: Hey.

609
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 14: I want you to ask if you can answer something

610
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 14: for me real quick, and I can go on with

611
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 14: my point. When they add void years in these players contracts,

612
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 14: that too, like spread out that cap, Yes.

613
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 5: Exactly what it is to spread out like the money

614
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 5: the bonus that they're giving them, which the bonus is

615
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 5: part of the guaranteed money, because that's what all the

616
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 5: players want now, is what's the guaranteed money? And you

617
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 5: have a guy bonus. Obviously that's guaranteed. But the best

618
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 5: way to do that is to spread it out into

619
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 5: avoidable years so that your cap hit isn't especially a

620
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 5: year cap hit right now is not as is not

621
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 5: as big.

622
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 14: Right, So so for like interesting, because like Jalen Hurts

623
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 14: has like a void year twenty twenty nine ninety seven million,

624
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 14: So why don't we do something like that with DAK

625
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 14: and CD?

626
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

627
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 9: Oh?

628
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: They are you sure that that they're not? I mean

629
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at them, but I'm not yet.

630
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure that's that's the same type of model.

631
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, think of it like this, Zach,

632
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 5: how much does he make in the year sixty million

633
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 5: a year? Well, he's not, I mean what he made

634
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 5: when he signed the deal, him and CD both.

635
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: It lowers the cap.

636
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 5: Well why do you think that does sixty million a

637
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 5: year lowers the cap? It's because of those voidable years

638
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 5: that they pushed everything out and actually this year is

639
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 5: not not as much. So they they're they're doing the

640
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,239
Speaker 5: same type of games as as the Eagles and all

641
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 5: those teams are as far as like when it comes

642
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 5: to signing deals like that.

643
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 14: Okay, because I look at their voidable years, I didn't

644
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 14: see like a mouse, you know, masses amount of money

645
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 14: down going down the roads until like stay twenty thirty four,

646
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 14: twenty thirty five. So I was wondering, if you, like,

647
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 14: I said, if you'd like they restructures Zack deal for

648
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 14: next year, because I think it's capital xtter is like

649
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 14: eighty nine million, and you bring it down, you can

650
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 14: create next year. They can create about like they can

651
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 14: get to like one hundred million in cap space. So

652
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 14: with me saying that this team's always been like, let's

653
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 14: draft and developed, draft and develop, Like that's fine, that's

654
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 14: a fine model. But you've been drafting and developing since

655
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 14: he drafted that. Martin's about to retire and you haven't

656
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 14: even got PA, you haven't got to the NTY Championship.

657
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 14: So you have to do something a little bit different.

658
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 14: All the other teams do something different. They use free

659
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 14: agency a lot better than you do, and get and

660
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 14: and uh, you know, and draft and I know, I

661
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 14: know they say they don't, you know, you pay good

662
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 14: players at you know, great money and average players right,

663
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 14: good player money. But I mean that they pretty much

664
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 14: do the same thing. I mean they they gave Tyron

665
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 14: Steel about you know, eighteen his captain is eighteen million?

666
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 7: Is he?

667
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 14: Is he a great player? Because that sounds like pretty

668
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 14: good tackle money right there?

669
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: You play average Terrence Steele?

670
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

671
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: Or Steel? Uh? Is it eighteen million they get tapped against?

672
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 8: Is?

673
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 14: I think next year will be eighteen Yeah, about eighteen million?

674
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 14: And they can save and if they cut them post

675
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 14: you one, they can save like I don't know, like

676
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 14: nine million or something like that.

677
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: That's yeah.

678
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, I say, hey, I want to get your thoughts,

679
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 14: you know, your thoughts on that where you push it

680
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 14: down and you can you know, you can actually go

681
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 14: for it for like a little bit of window and

682
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 14: just let your fans go like, hey, we don't get it.

683
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 14: These are years that we put a lot of this

684
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 14: money back. We're gonna be a very bad team, so

685
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 14: just you know, roll with it.

686
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I quite.

687
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 14: Frankly, I think a lot of people would actually appreciate that, like,

688
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 14: you know, saying, Okay, we're gonna have a three year

689
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 14: window and then we're gonna be you know, crummy for

690
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 14: two years until we get out of this gap situation

691
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 14: and pretty much start over. Yeah, So well I have

692
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 14: to get your thought thoughts, go ahead.

693
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 5: No, go ahead, now, thank you for the call, or Andy,

694
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 5: I appreciate that good call. And you know, again, that's

695
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 5: a when you're talking about the cap, and I mean

696
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 5: I I have a good understanding I think of salary

697
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 5: cap and the structure of it. I mean, I wouldn't

698
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 5: last one day up there trying to.

699
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: Sorry, I got distracted here.

700
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 5: I see Noah Brown getting interviewed on the on the

701
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 5: TV because of the catch that he made. That's I

702
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 5: still can't believe that Washington won that game like that.

703
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 5: But I have a good understanding of the of the

704
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 5: salary cap. But again, when it comes to the avoidable

705
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 5: years and how they structure this and how they make

706
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 5: this and roll this over, No, obviously I don't even

707
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 5: and I don't I don't even try so much. That's

708
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 5: why I never you don't ever hear me say they

709
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 5: have this much cap space or whatever, because it's it's

710
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 5: always fluid, it's always changing, and there's reason why they

711
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 5: have so much they you know, they when you have

712
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 5: a lot of injuries and you have to keep bringing

713
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 5: in guys, bringing in this veteran, bringing this guy, I mean,

714
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 5: elevating a player that that all costs money.

715
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: It costs way more than people ever ever know, you know.

716
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 5: So anyways, I say all that to say, like, like

717
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 5: I think the Cowboys are positioning themselves for for for

718
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 5: next year as far as like trying to save some

719
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 5: money for next year. Next year's cap is going to

720
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 5: be really challenging a lot more than it is this year.

721
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 5: And so that's why you see some of the cap

722
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 5: space that they have. I'll say one more thing about

723
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 5: free agency and draft and all that, that the cop

724
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,479
Speaker 5: the teams that are having all this money in free

725
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 5: agency are not drafting. Well, that's why they have the money,

726
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 5: and that's why they have the need.

727
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 15: Uh.

728
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 5: The Cowboys have drafted way better than other than other teams,

729
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 5: and they have to sign those guys. But but no

730
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 5: one ever considers that to be a good Oh well

731
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 5: we signed our own guy, Like that's great. What about

732
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 5: other players? You know, they're drafting well and they're signing

733
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 5: their own guys. But you start drafting, you know, my

734
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 5: smith hasn't panned out. Right now, We'll see about Tyler Guiden.

735
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 5: You know, I think when I think when you see

736
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 5: teams not drafting as well, uh, maybe they hit a

737
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 5: hit a rough Patch. That's where you're probably going to

738
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 5: see a little bit more free agency. But I, you know,

739
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 5: I would be fine with changing the model a little

740
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 5: bit and at least attempting on some more on some

741
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 5: more free agent guys. I know that's not hasn't been

742
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 5: their plan, but like Randy said, you know, it's been

743
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 5: a long time. Uh, maybe maybe they should change that

744
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 5: a little bit. I would be fine with seeing that

745
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 5: if they could, If they could go that route. All right,

746
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 5: let's go to Dylan Northport, Florida.

747
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 16: And some of the contracts stuff real quick. They built

748
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 16: in levers next year for re structures, built in back

749
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 16: and see these contracts that it puts another eighty eight

750
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 16: million in free cap space. But like you said, it's fluid.

751
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 16: They got a lot of guys to sign next year.

752
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 16: So I have a really strong feeling they're going to

753
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 16: extend MIC up right at the end of the season.

754
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 16: I don't think they're going to play this game of

755
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 16: wait until the line second time around. That's going to

756
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 16: free up cap space next year, because you do, I

757
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 16: think for a twenty one million dollars hit. But they

758
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 16: don't normally participate in for agency. They have way too

759
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 16: many needs not to and they'll have some cap space

760
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 16: depending on what they do with their guys that are

761
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 16: up for deals next year. So they've got a participating

762
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 16: for agency next year in my opinion on that.

763
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 5: And here's the thing, you're right about that they also

764
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 5: have like twenty something guys, twenty two to twenty three

765
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 5: guys maybe that are going to be unrestricted free agents.

766
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 5: So I think you're right. I think they'll participate in

767
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 5: free agency. We might see it more than we have

768
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 5: last in the last few years because they may not

769
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 5: be signing all of these guys, you know, like like

770
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 5: this isn't this isn't the most talented roster that they've

771
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 5: ever had. So you know, just because you're an unrestricted

772
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 5: free agent for this team doesn't mean there's not a

773
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 5: better opportunity over here. So I think they're going to

774
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 5: be more active and probably less active signing some of

775
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 5: these guys that are up for new contracts.

776
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 16: One hundred percent agree, one hundred percent agree. And regarding

777
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 16: the Dak regression, I know Rob feels a certain way

778
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 16: about that, very sionarrong opinion. You know, I put a

779
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 16: question up on Twitter asking you know, why has Dak

780
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 16: seemingly regressed essentially, was my question. The comments are just

781
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 16: outrageous and the feeling that people have is just outrageous.

782
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 16: This guy here says sixty million a year, two thirty

783
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 16: one guarantees new daughter, new house, about to get married.

784
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 16: He doesn't have to try anymore. Like how nonsense of

785
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 16: a take is that? Like I can sit here and

786
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 16: turn the film on. I can show you about one

787
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 16: hundred reasons by Dak's not successful. Some of it's on him,

788
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 16: some of it's on the offense, Like we can talk

789
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 16: football and understand why Deck's not successful, all this other

790
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 16: bs that's floating around out there, about these intangible things

791
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 16: that he has a family. Oh, I like our NFL

792
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 16: quarterback's not supposed to get married and have children, have

793
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 16: families once they are in the NFL. Like that's just nonsense, man,

794
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 16: And it kisses me off. Like I'm a pretty chill dude,

795
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 16: but like those kind of takes really set me off

796
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 16: because it's nonsense. It's nonsense talk, and I can't stand nonsense.

797
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 16: So I had to get off my chest today. And

798
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 16: I appreciate you taking.

799
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 5: Ask you this though, Dylan, I mean, go ahead, you

800
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 5: you posted that on on like the storyliners.

801
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 16: No, no, it was just my normal, my normal page.

802
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 9: But they kind of blew up, you know.

803
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 16: But right, it's mostly stupid stuff.

804
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: But right, but is it?

805
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 5: I mean, and that's that's the thing, Like, that's what

806
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 5: that's the kind of stuff that that blow it blows

807
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 5: up because when you throw stuff out there like that

808
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 5: and then and then those are the responses.

809
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not faulting you for it, But all I'm.

810
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 5: Saying is is that what what do you expect especially

811
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 5: on like a Twitter or Instagram or whatever, because that's

812
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 5: what you know, what I'm saying when you start out there.

813
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: Of course, you.

814
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 16: Know, talking to my friend Ben about this stuff. And

815
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 16: then the really crazy knowledgeable guy, I mean he works

816
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 16: for a certain football company and he's you know, I

817
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 16: won't mention anything, but really smart dude. And you know,

818
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 16: we're talking about people that blow up on Twitter. The

819
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 16: content creators, These guys that do all the stuff on there,

820
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 16: they don't really know like a ton about football. They're

821
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 16: they're good at talking and they' most takes that people

822
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 16: agree with, and they could be the most nonsensical takes,

823
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 16: but people agree with that. Confirmation bias, nonsense, need you

824
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 16: challenge it. Well, somehow you're you're the bad guy. You're

825
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 16: the evil guy, even though it's complete blowney, Like most

826
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 16: of the stuff that's not there is complete nonsense, has

827
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 16: something to do with the sport, and it's it's intangible

828
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 16: opinions that are just stupid takes, honestly, But those are

829
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 16: the people, those are the posts that blow up. And

830
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 16: I guess I gotta do more of that if I

831
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 16: want a large following. But I really don't, not just

832
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 16: not at the risk of sounding like an idiot, right,

833
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 16: it just is what it is.

834
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 9: You know, I'm not Steven A. Smith, I guess for

835
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 9: a good reason.

836
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 5: Well, you're right, thanks for the for the call. I mean,

837
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,800

Speaker 1: You know.

839
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 5: You people throw that out there all the time, and

840
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 5: that's what a lot of the media has become now.

841
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 9: You know.

842
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 5: They just throw out some range, should the Cowboys trade

843
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 5: for this former first round receiver?

844
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: And you're like, which guy who's that click? You know?

845
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 5: And it's like some guy, you know, Jerry Rice or something,

846
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 5: who's you know, out of retirement. I'm just saying, it's like,

847
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 5: but they do that stuff and then they'll be like, well,

848
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I just post a question, you know, I

849
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,799

850
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,640

851
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,879

890
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 15: always come in with a couple of things. So first

891
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 15: thing is, I know this is against the rules and

892
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 15: against the law, but I don't exactly hate the Niners

893
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 15: because Party, he Party is their quarterback. He is from

894
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 15: Iowa State. I'm a big Iwa State fan, so he

895
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 15: out there. Yeah, y'all can y'all can stab me and

896
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 15: do whatever you want, but I can't not like him.

897
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 15: And so there we go. And he looked really rock star.

898
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 15: And also the old time I don't like him is

899
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 15: when he's playing against my Cowboys.

900
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: Sounds like you do though, I mean that sounds like that.

901
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 15: Didn't I like, I have to like him a little bit.

902
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 15: I mean, he's just a tiny little guy. You can't

903
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 15: not like him. I'm sorry.

904
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 13: I don't know.

905
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,040

906
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: At all, but.

907
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,240

Speaker 15: I've talked about who who brings the thing to the table?

927
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 15: Is it you know, is it the coaches or is

928
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 15: it the players?

929
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: Executing?

930
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 15: And I said, of distractions, that's where I was coming from,

931
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 15: and youth. And so my husband he popped in this

932
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 15: week and he's real quiet. You love my husband. He's

933
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 15: the quietest guy in the world. He knows so much

934
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 15: about football. I've learned so much from him. And he said, Hony,

935
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 15: you were right about both things. He's like, they're both robs.

936
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 15: The distraction too many distractions or disruptions or whatever would

937
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 15: I use, and then also execution.

938
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 13: It is both.

939
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 15: He's like, he's like that coach is going to get

940
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 15: fired probably, and he's like Dak Prescott played like crap,

941
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 15: and Okay, I'm gonna pop up because you're probably gonna

942
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 15: yell at me. I know, I know where you're coming from.

943
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 15: I know you have to you have to represent them,

944
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 15: and I understand, but you have to understand where we're

945
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 15: coming from too, just like I could say pretty is

946
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 15: real nice and you know Irvin, you know he he

947
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 15: cancel the event, but to get what I'm coming from, Like,

948
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 15: we're not wrong here, Hey, I appreciate how kind.

949
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 8: You are to everybody like you.

950
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 15: Let us speak our voice and say are like you

951
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 15: understand we're angry and mad right now, and I appreciate.

952
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 11: That very much.

953
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 15: All right, let's jump off off.

954
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call.

955
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not even sure where she was going

956
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 5: with everything there, but thank you for the call. And

957
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 5: I I do understand that. That's that's the thing, Like

958
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 5: I understand exactly what you guys are coming from because

959
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 5: I've been there and I still I'm still there. Like

960
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 5: you don't have to be a fan of the same team,

961
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 5: the same situation to understand. If somebody comes up and

962
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 5: says talks bad about the Cowboys or whatever. My first

963
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 5: question is always like, who's your team? And they say

964
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 5: I don't have a team, Well, all right, you can.

965
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 5: You can definitely get the hell out of here. That's

966
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 5: why I I'm not going to engage any conversation of that.

967
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: Now.

968
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 5: If you're like, oh, this is my team, you know,

969
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 5: the Steelers are my team, or the Jets or whatever

970
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 5: it is, you know, fine, you have a team. Cool,

971
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 5: you can talk about that that that's fine. And so

972
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 5: I do understand, and I have a team. I have

973
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 5: a team in college obviously, the Cowboys, like you know that,

974
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 5: that's our team in different ways now, So I understand

975
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 5: exactly what you're saying. And I would never say who's

976
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 5: right or wrong or whatever. If you're talking about distractions

977
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,479
Speaker 5: and the tours and things like that, and then how

978
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 5: anything that happens Sunday night, we'll see. I mean, like,

979
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 5: that doesn't make any sense, you know that has That's

980
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 5: not their problem in the third quarter. Their problem is

981
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 5: that they didn't adjust to anything. They just went out

982
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 5: there and played. And the forty nine ers said, why

983
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 5: don't we do this, Let's put kittle on these guys,

984
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 5: and nobody can cover them and listen to this and this,

985
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 5: and then you know, and and it worked, and the

986
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 5: Cowboys had ran out of time to make any any comeback,

987
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 5: which was really never gonna happen anyways, because they weren't

988
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 5: the better team. So anyways, your opinion is your opinion.

989
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 5: I've said that a thousand times, and I don't you know,

990
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 5: I don't ever try to change it. It could never

991
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 5: try to change it. But I certainly have mine. And

992
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 5: so all right, let's go to Gavin and Oklahoma City

993
00:48:58,440 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 5: is our last caller.

994
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, I come to you today with a perspective

995
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 9: and not really a question. I just want your thoughts

996
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 9: on it. And it might be a little long way

997
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 9: that I'm gonna try to get it out as fast

998
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 9: as possible. So the finger pointing in Cowboys Nation, I

999
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 9: understand it. We're all frustrated. I'm very, very frustrated and disappointed.

1000
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 9: But I also want to challenge the thoughts of Cowboys

1001
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 9: Nation here when you start to put blame on the

1002
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 9: front office, let's start with the front office. This team

1003
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 9: is obviously a draft and developed team. And if you

1004
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 9: want to go, get Derrick Henry, if you want to

1005
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 9: go get you know whoever that's high dollar. You're changing

1006
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 9: the whole team's philosophy, and we're just not in a

1007
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 9: position to do that right now unless we just want

1008
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 9: to go through Cap Hill and you know, low up

1009
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 9: the team. I really think it's very shortsighted for us

1010
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 9: as fans to think that Jered and Steven Zones just

1011
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 9: sit on their hands and they're a bunch of idiots

1012
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 9: and they drool on the falls. These guys make informed decisions,

1013
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 9: they have people helping them make these decisions, and they

1014
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 9: just simply I think this season believed in some of

1015
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 9: the young talent. I think they believed in Rico doubt

1016
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 9: Or I think they believed in Jalen Tobert. I think

1017
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 9: they believed in all these people to step up, and

1018
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 9: it just hasn't happened to this point, and the season

1019
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 9: hasn't gone as plan. My second fingerpoint I want to

1020
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 9: address is Dak Prescott. Whenever we signed Dak to the

1021
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 9: sixty million dollar deal, I knew Cawboy's Nation was going

1022
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 9: to be very critical of Dak. That's just when someone

1023
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 9: gets paid. That's how it happens, and that's part of

1024
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 9: the job, and I understand that. But we also understand stand,

1025
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 9: and we've been understood, that Dak is not Patrick Mahomes.

1026
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 9: He's not alone. He's like ninety nine percent of quarterbacks

1027
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 9: in this league. You need a good running game, you

1028
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 9: need players around you step up and do their jobs.

1029
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 9: And no, I'm not excusing Dak's performance from Sunday night.

1030
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 9: He had a poor game and he made some decisions

1031
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 9: that I cannot defend. But at the same time, the

1032
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 9: rhetoric that Dak Prescott is just a terrible quarterback and

1033
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 9: we need to get rid of him in these garbage,

1034
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 9: it's just it's just simply untrue. It's just we know

1035
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 9: what Dak's capable of. Yes, he needs to run the ball,

1036
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 9: but you know there's only so much he can do

1037
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 9: as one person. And those are just two things I

1038
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 9: want Cowboys Nation to kind of think about. Maybe this

1039
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 9: season just hasn't gone to plan. Maybe Dak Prescott is

1040
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 9: putting in extra hours in the buyo Weey, maybe McCarthy

1041
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 9: is putting in extra hours standing up at night who's

1042
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 9: in sleep trying to figure out how to use this personnel,

1043
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 9: and maybe it just hasn't gone to plan. And that's

1044
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 9: tough to accept, but it is what it did, and

1045
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 9: that's all I got from.

1046
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 5: All Right, thanks Kevin, we're running kind of out of time.

1047
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 5: That you had some good points. I think there's part

1048
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 5: of it. I think it didn't go as planned in

1049
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 5: certain cases. And yet some of these guys that they

1050
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 5: counted on, the counting on because they kind of have

1051
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 5: to count on him. They don't have the money to

1052
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 5: go and sign a bunch of other players. They've drafted

1053
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 5: these guys, so they have to play like this was

1054
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 5: the year Jalen Tolbert, like you said, he's got to play.

1055
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: Well, they let's.

1056
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 5: See what he can do, Let's see what Sam Williams

1057
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 5: can do, Let's see what some of these young guys

1058
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 5: can do, especially some of the rookies. And it hasn't

1059
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 5: worked to plan in certain cases. I think the running

1060
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 5: back situation, I think they were surprised by that. I

1061
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 5: think that the guys that they evaluated on other teams,

1062
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 5: other free agents, they didn't think, you know, let's let's

1063
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 5: they're probably done.

1064
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: Uh, let's not.

1065
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 5: Let's not pay them that kind of money in that

1066
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 5: market for these guys. Let's go with you know, a cheaper,

1067
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 5: cheaper running backs here. And it has not worked out.

1068
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 5: But I don't think it's just the running backs of

1069
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 5: why they haven't run the ball well. I think it's

1070
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 5: a combination. But when you look around the league and

1071
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 5: see the guys and what they're doing, I think, yeah,

1072
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 5: they probably in hindsight could have changed the you know,

1073
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 5: their their thought process on that with some of these guys,

1074
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 5: because I think there's five or six running backs playing

1075
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 5: on other teams that are that have played really well

1076
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,240
