Last week 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: or two days ago when we did the show, Steven 23 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: Jones had just talked to the media and Jerry Jones 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: is supposed to talk on Friday, so tomorrow he'll be, uh, 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, given his thoughts on what's about to happen 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: in free agency, and you know, who knows if he 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: gives away certain things that that you know, the plans 28 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: that the team might be having it usually they don't, 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: but still always good to to you know, hear from Jerry. 30 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: So that will be tomorrow, and then a lot going 31 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: on at the combine, you know, Cowboys meeting with certain 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: players and different guys out there, so you know, we 33 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: know what they need in some positions, but still free 34 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: agency will kind of, you know, determine some of that, 35 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: you know, with with the Cowboys, you know, they usually 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: just kind of put band aids on positions in free agency. 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: But if who knows, you know, we'll see what all 38 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: inn really means. Maybe that means they're going to go 39 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: out and be a little bit more aggressive, and if 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: they are more aggressive at certain positions, you know, maybe 41 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: you get a player that that will come in and 42 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: solidify that spot immediately. We just haven't seen that happen 43 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: for a while. Gilmour kind of did at cornerback, but 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: but you know, not really not like the number one 45 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: player at that position. You know, Brandon Cooks helped as well, 46 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: and that was sort of you know, those are trades 47 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: in free agency. Maybe the Cowboys have something like that 48 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: that they're working on as well. All right, eight eight 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: eight eight five five two two ninety seven is the 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: number to call and get that text lined up there 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: as well. I haven't memorized that one, but we'll get 52 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: text messages as well. We'll start off with the calls 53 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: Travis and san Antonio. 54 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 4: Heybody, what's going on? 55 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: Hey, how are you good? 56 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 4: How's your week? 57 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Bend's doing good? Good, doing great? What's going on with you? 58 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: Just getting ready to one to give you a call? 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 4: Getting ready to watch the com I know they had 60 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: some formal visits, so some some Michigan players, which I 61 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 4: know everybody everybody loves, but I'm the Michigan guy, so 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: I don't mind it. But I'm looking forward to kind 63 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 4: of watching some of the guys the tests that did 64 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: they did the interviews with. But I wanted to get 65 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 4: your thoughts on this, and it's not it's it's not 66 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: a Dak thing. It's this I know. We just had 67 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 4: a cap go up, but the quarterback money, like, I 68 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 4: don't know if it's ever going to get to a 69 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 4: point with Like I just wonder with like the running 70 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 4: back situation where you know that running backs, it got 71 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: to a point where they were like, well, you know, 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: we can't pay a running back X, Y, and Z 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: because this is just it's just not worth it. And like, 74 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 4: yet we paid quarterback, We're going to pay a quarterback 75 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 4: at some point they're gonna start paying up sixty two 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 4: seventy million dollars a year, and I don't think any 77 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 4: of them are worth it, even other than Patrick Mahomes. 78 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 4: And even when he signed his last deal, it was 79 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 4: like that forty five million dollar deal, but it was 80 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: ten years, so he gave them a lot of flexibility 81 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: to keep doing stuff. I know he just got an extension, 82 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: but so I just wonder, like if you ever thought, like, 83 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: are we ever going to get to a point where 84 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: the league may go, can we can we just uncap 85 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: and just not count the quarterback position to the cap? 86 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 4: Like is that would that ever? Is that ever going 87 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 4: to be a possibility, because it's I feel like at 88 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 4: a certain point, even though cat is going up, it 89 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 4: might get to a point where quarterbacks are starting to 90 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 4: hinder like the ability to like make teams good, if 91 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 4: that makes sense, you know what I'm saying. 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't agree, but I do know what you're saying. 93 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't agree with that. I mean, 94 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. That's that's why you 95 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: have people to kind of figure this out. It also 96 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on the actual quarterback. I mean, 97 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: it kind of makes the position sort of what it is. 98 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: I don't know what that would look like if you 99 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: didn't have a cap for a quarterback. 100 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 4: But I just wonder if that's even, if that's even 101 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 4: it's just an outside the box. I don't think it's 102 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 4: ever going to happen. Yeah, we've had a lot of conversations. 103 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: I was thought, like because of Delate so much, Right, 104 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 4: it's like if there was one position that owners could go, 105 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: you know what, they're gonna get paid to, like, pay 106 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 4: your quarterback as much as you want. I don't, I don't. 107 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: We don't care. Like, if you're gonna commit to the guy, 108 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 4: pay him as much as you want, and then you 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 4: can deal with the here's the rest of the cap. 110 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 4: For the rest of the team. I don't know if 111 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: that would just make things easier, but there's just a thought. 112 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so interesting. I mean, what happened with San Francisco. 113 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: What would happen when you have a guy, you know, 114 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: like like brock Party that comes in. 115 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 4: Maybe, well if you if you draft a guy like that, 116 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 4: then that's like, that's like your bonus, right until you 117 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 4: have to pay him, because that's just if you don't 118 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 4: have to pay him a bunch of money, then you don't, 119 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 4: then you get to spend that elsewhere. So they would 120 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 4: still get that advantage, right if you draft a guy, 121 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: but yeah, decide to pay him. It's like pay whatever 122 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: you want. But it doesn't affect the team because I 123 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 4: already heard Steven Jones say the thing that I hate 124 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 4: he says the most where he says like the cap 125 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 4: is real for us, which I know it literally is, 126 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: but it's just make me question already the whole we're 127 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 4: all in. 128 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, I mean that's that's a big 129 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: question too. And and we we know, thanks for the call, Travis. 130 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: We know that they're not going to be all in 131 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: the way that that some people think they're going to be. 132 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, that's or or or hoping that 133 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: they will be. Uh, it's not going to be. It's 134 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: it's not it's not going to be that way. It's 135 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: not going to be. They're not going to be as 136 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: aggressive as you as you would think. I think that 137 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: they'll I think they'll do more, and I think they 138 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: have if you go back and look the last couple 139 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: of years, they have done a little bit more and more. 140 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: I think with McCarthy, they have gotten more, more players, 141 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: more veteran guys, you know, the well known players you 142 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: know maybe at the end of their career that some 143 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: of them helped, some of them really didn't so much. 144 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: But you know, they they are trying to add players, 145 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, to this team, and they have like even 146 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: during the season, look two years ago, look at it 147 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: last year. You know, they'll they'll add some some guys 148 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: in there. But that's not really an all in approach. 149 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: But we'll we'll see, we'll see what happens in free agency. 150 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they have to be more aggressive. They have 151 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: to do that. And I just think that's another way too. 152 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: It's like what you've done for so many years hasn't 153 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: really worked. It hasn't been the ultimate payoff. So you're 154 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: not changing the people making the decisions. So why don't 155 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: you change a little bit of the philosophy on how 156 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: they how they build the team? You know a little bit. 157 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: It's still through the draft, but that doesn't mean every 158 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: now and again, every every few years. You can't say, 159 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: all right, we have specific needs and free agency, let's go, 160 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: let's go that route. So we'll see. All right, let's 161 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: go to Ray and Fort Worth as our next call. 162 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 5: How you doing? 163 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: How you doing?

So a couple of weeks 171 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 5: I heard of caller basically telling Michael to stay offf 172 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 5: social media, basically saying play football and shut up. So 173 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 5: here's the deal. We always want these players to be 174 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 5: open and honest and take a leadership road, but when 175 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 5: they do, you have a problem. I have zero problems 176 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 5: with Michael Parsons said about Tank Lawrence. You know why, 177 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 5: because Tank Lawrence likes to run his mouth. When they 178 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 5: do good, we kick him. When they're down, we kick 179 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 5: him again, and we kick them again, and then he 180 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 5: comes out makes an excuse like, oh, we're tired. I'm 181 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 5: sure Green Bay was tired when they kicked your tail. 182 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 5: I'm tired. I'm sure fans are tired of spending big 183 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 5: money for tickets and come out and you put a 184 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 5: problem a product. 185 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 6: Like that out. 186 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 5: Now. I have zero problems with him. Second part, I 187 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 5: think we're eliminating Michael Parsons by just playing them at 188 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 5: defensive end. I think it's capable of so much more. 189 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 5: I think he I think we can. You know, maybe 190 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 5: you give him the dot. Let's see what's going on. 191 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 5: I'd like to see him out there because I think 192 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 5: we're limiting him. But he can. He can actually cover players. 193 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 5: You know, you were were just limiting his speed. We're 194 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 5: just playing them at defensive end. And that's why teams 195 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 5: starts saying just just don't block him, just don't block him. 196 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 5: He we're just limiting him. 197 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 3: We want to. 198 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 5: He's got so much more potential. When his rookie year 199 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 5: we did that, he played linebacker. I even went back 200 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 5: and so I saw him cover a receiver when he 201 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 5: Recognizedho's coming out there. I just think we're limiting him 202 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 5: just playing defense in hopefully Zimmer let's open up and 203 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 5: take more advantage of it. I don't know what all 204 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 5: that means, but it's at some point you gotta gotta 205 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 5: do something because just regularly season, just regular season, Okay, 206 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 5: well that that doesn't mean anything if you're going on 207 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 5: and done in the playoffs. But I love the team 208 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 5: and I'm still following in. Thank you for having this show, all. 209 00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: Right, thanks very appreciate that. A couple of things on Micah, 210 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: You're right about about you know, there are a lot 211 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: of people that that they'll criticize you for not saying anything. Oh, 212 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: you never talks. He doesn't say anything never. You know, 213 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: he's not a leader because he doesn't open up in 214 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: the locker room or whatever. And then when and then 215 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: when they do, then you know, then that's subject to 216 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: being criticized as well. But I think we all know 217 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: that though that he's getting he's getting a little too 218 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: much with with some of the things that he says, 219 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: especially if it's coming back to his own his own teammates, 220 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: and so I cause you cause, I mean, doesn't matter 221 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: if it's true or not. I mean that that's not 222 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: the point. I mean, we know we don't we don't 223 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: do that in our lives. Oh well that's true. Well 224 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean to say it. Okay, that's something you 225 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: have to teach little kids and that kind of stuff, 226 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about teammates, because that that becomes 227 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: a different problem inside the locker room with chemistry and 228 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So I definitely think that Mica 229 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: needs to be a little bit more careful with some 230 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: of the things that he says. Now when you're talking 231 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: about limiting him at defensive end linebacker, you know, I 232 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: don't know if he's not limiting himself with with what 233 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: he wants to do and how he wants to where 234 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: he wants to play, and what kind of statistics that 235 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: you know that that brings. I mean, guys, I think 236 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: Fred Warner is one of the best players in football. 237 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean, and he he is. He is a difference maker. 238 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: He is a great player and always seems to kill 239 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and and he's he's doing it from from 240 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: that position. So I'm not saying that you can't be 241 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: a great player from there, and maybe Micah could be 242 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: that type of guy. I think he's He's made it 243 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: very clear he likes to get pressures and likes to 244 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: get sacks. But but I'm I'm anxious to see what 245 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: Zimmer is going to be able to do with him, 246 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: and you know it'll be aggressive without a doubt. But 247 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: but again, they're gonna need to get some help on 248 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: the other side there. If he's not rushing the passer, 249 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: then who is, you know, because they're losing it. Well 250 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: I say losing. They got some free agents, probably not 251 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: going to keep them all defensive end, so they're gonna 252 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: need people to rush the past or for sure. But 253 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: so I like your points. I do think though, when 254 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: it comes to, you know, being vocal, I mean, he's 255 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: got he's got to kind of pick his spots a 256 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit more there because he's it's 257 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: definitely definitely potentially rubbing people the wrong way, all right 258 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: in his own teammates. All right, lines are open right now? 259 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: Eight aight, aight, eight five, five, two two nine seven. 260 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: I hear that all the time, Like I called one 261 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: hundred times in a row. I think you'd call one 262 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: time in a row and if that's a thing, and 263 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, you should be able to get in like 264 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: like Mike from Boston. He's sending text message here, man, 265 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: I wish Mike would call because we still have that 266 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: one state Massachusetts that we've never had a call from. 267 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: But Mike from Boston, what do you see? Uh post 268 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones doubt Dallas Cowboys team looking like they finally 269 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: give Will McLay the general manage. Okay, And I'm gonna 270 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: stop right there. I'most stop because it's the same with 271 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: the question that that Travis had about you know what 272 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: a salary cap with no with you know that doesn't 273 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: include the quarterbacks. I'm not even going there. I'm not. 274 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not happening. That that's not going to 275 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: be the thing. And I don't want to I don't 276 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: want to go down that road. And even even say 277 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: all that. So he does say Macho Man and Miss 278 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: Elizabeth were his favorite wrestlers so or and you know 279 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: they were kind of a tandem there. I guess they 280 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: were married. Uh yeah, the Macho Man he was he 281 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: was the best for sure. But uh, you know, Jerry's 282 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: the gym Jerry's the GM of the team, and that's 283 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: what it is this year. That's what we care about. 284 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: Care about what the salary cap looks like this year, 285 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: what free agency looks like, how this team gets better. 286 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: That should be the focus. Getting too far beyond that 287 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: really doesn't make a lot of sense for me. Let's 288 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: go to another text question. This is Kevin from Virginia. 289 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: He says, do you believe it's a feasi it's feasible 290 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to bring in Derrick Henry or say 291 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley, Uh, that type of free agent and Tony 292 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: Pollard as the backup to them. Well, probably not because 293 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: that's a lot of money in that position. And I 294 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: just don't see, you know, because Pollard is included in 295 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: that group now like nationally now he's maybe not one 296 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: of the top, but he's he's in that group, and 297 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: he was franchised last year's well had a thousand yards rushing. 298 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't a great season, but he was. 299 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: He's still productive and he's going to be considered in 300 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: that he's the in that next tier. So I just 301 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: don't see the Cowboys getting a Tier one and a 302 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: Tier two type running back when when they they probably 303 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: can draft one and he immediately can get into that 304 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: that second level, maybe even the first, depending on who 305 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: they get. So I don't really see that happening. I 306 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: think if they strike out on getting one of the 307 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: top back and then Pollard's still there and hasn't signed, yeah, 308 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a situation. I mean, Mike 309 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: McCarthy has said it that he wants him back, and 310 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think Steven and jerryl both say that, 311 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: but Steven kind of made it sound like, yeah, we 312 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: like him, but let's see what happens in the market. 313 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: So you know, they have they have the ability to 314 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: sign them now, but you're getting this close to free agency. 315 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: You know, the players are going to see what they're worth. 316 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: And I don't blame them for that. All right, let's 317 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: go Chris in New York. 318 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how you doing good? 319 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: How you doing man? 320 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 7: I'm good, I'm good. I've been listening to you for 321 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 7: for a little while now, first time actually getting a 322 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 7: call list. 323 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 6: We go nice. 324 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 7: All right, Yeah, so one or two, you know, and 325 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 7: I think it's kind of been you know, talked about 326 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 7: so much about Micah talking in the off season, and 327 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 7: it potentially could rub some people in the locker room 328 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 7: the wrong way. I think that's totally fair, and I 329 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 7: think it's you know, it's possible feedback. But at the 330 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 7: end of the day, you know, I love Tank, love him. 331 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 7: It's been with the team a long time, but you 332 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 7: would think for a guy been there ten years, he 333 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 7: would have had something better to say coming on national TV. 334 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: And it's like, especially with the biggest Cowboys hater sitting 335 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: there right next to I say, hater, I mean he's 336 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: a fake hater, but you know what I mean, Yeah, 337 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: he plays the part. 338 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, He's pushing the Cowboys stories the same way 339 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 7: that a lot of the media does. 340 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 8: Right, they're capitalizing as well. 341 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 7: So it's just like, you know, you expect him to 342 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 7: be a leader because he's been there ten years, because 343 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 7: he's a great player, but for him to come on 344 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 7: TV and say that, it's like, man, I have to 345 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 7: question how much of a leader he actually is. Obvious 346 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 7: obviously I don't have purview into the locker room and 347 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 7: how things are done, but you know, the when Micah 348 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 7: talks about wanting to change culture or that there needs 349 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 7: to be a culture shift, I think that right there 350 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 7: is a glaring example of a situation where a veteran 351 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 7: guy goes on TV and says literally the worst thing 352 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 7: that you could say, you know, and basically everyone's got 353 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 7: to respond. 354 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: To that, now, you know, Yeah, and yeah, I've been 355 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: asked about it a couple of times. I don't have 356 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: a great answer. I'm just I just, like I've said, 357 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: his what he's put out there, his his product on 358 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: the field has been way better than that, and hasn't been. 359 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: He's not been really an excuse guy or anything like that. 360 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: So I just tend to believe that that's not really 361 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: what he meant to say. It came out horribly wrong 362 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: for what he the type of player in person that 363 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: he is, So if this was his first or second year, 364 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: you'd wonder a little bit about him. He's played ten years, 365 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: he's given, he's given everything he has, and he's not 366 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: really a me guy. He stops the run, he knows 367 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: how to you know, sacrifice his body to get in 368 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: there and make these big plays. He understands the importance 369 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: of that. 370 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 7: So he, you know, he's a great guy. And honestly, 371 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 7: when when I heard a few, you know, before he 372 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 7: got his last extension that he was and I don't 373 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 7: know how true it is, but he was already out 374 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 7: the door essentially when Jerry calls him back in and 375 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 7: they get that three year extension done, you know, it's like, man, 376 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 7: we want that guy on our team because he's a great, 377 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 7: great player. But I'll say this and then I'll drop, 378 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 7: you know. You know, people can have their opinions about 379 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 7: Mike's podcast. I don't listen to it during the season, 380 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 7: but the stuff after the season has actually been really 381 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 7: I thought it was really cool because, you know, if 382 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 7: people are getting sour about Jordan Love telling Michael Parsons 383 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 7: to his face the same stuff that we all see, 384 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 7: I think that we need to look at ourselves and 385 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 7: know that we can, we should be able to take 386 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 7: that type of criticism. But I would love to see 387 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 7: Tank get in front and talk with Mike because I 388 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 7: want to hear from the two people who are some 389 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 7: of our best players what their plan is for next year, 390 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 7: you know, and that's a great way to kind of 391 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 7: settle down the hole. There's a problems within the locker room, 392 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 7: but we'll see how that goes with it. 393 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you this though, Chris, because you 394 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: said we should look at ourselves if we have a 395 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: problem with him saying what we already know, right, So 396 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're saying, is we already saw that, 397 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: Jordan Love, you don't we don't need you to say that, 398 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: right because we saw that what they did and how they. 399 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 7: Jordan Love saying like, hey, we can run the ball 400 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 7: on right, right, And then I think, go. 401 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: Ahead, no, no, you're right, you're you're saying the same 402 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: thing like we What you're saying is is we ultimately 403 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: really didn't need him to say that. We kind of 404 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: knew that. 405 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 7: Right, right, But it seemed like, so. 406 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Why put him on the podcast? 407 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 9: Well, I don't. 408 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 7: I think that that's him making content think that people 409 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 7: within the front office should have done a better job 410 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 7: of actually addressing, you know, the middle of the field. 411 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 7: Jordan Love says that, you know he's not making it 412 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 7: taken a shot, but you guys had a DV playing 413 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 7: a linebacker, like we all saw that.

But two different days, like the 492 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: last two times I got in my car living on, 493 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: a prayer was on. It's not like I'm jamming to 494 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: eighties music either, So I don't I don't know. I'm 495 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. 496 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 6: Kiss. I've seen Kiss twenty two times. 497 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: You and I, you and I aren't exactly the same. 498 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: Then I would tell you that, because that's twenty three 499 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: more times than I would want to see them. 500 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 6: I had an older brother who kind of put me into. 501 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: It, all right, But what's going on with this team? Mike? 502 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: What's going on? So ask that question differently about about 503 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: Will McLay. Wait, wait, what do you think about Will that? 504 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 3: That? 505 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: You do? You like that? You think he's somebody that 506 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: should take over a little bit more. 507 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 6: I just feel like he's the silent potner in the 508 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 6: nightclub that never gets to tell people he owns the club. 509 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 6: It's always the loud. And I love Jerry Jones. I 510 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 6: can't get enough of him. I live in Boston, I 511 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 6: do taxes for a living. It's tax season right now. 512 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 6: I am slammed. I listen to all your pluck. 513 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 7: I can't give enough. 514 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 6: I listened to his interviews on one oh five three. 515 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 6: I mean, my family's been some insane. 516 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: My tax got to call me back. I wonder if 517 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: he's listening to some like Patriots podcast or something like that. 518 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 6: No, my parents have season tickets at Patriots when the 519 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 6: Cowboys have been coming kind of a lot lately. I 520 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 6: went to see Dallas and you know, the Patriots in 521 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 6: Dallas a couple of times in the last five years. 522 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 6: So it's nice we finally beat the Patriots. Yeah, but 523 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 6: I have a couple more things. 524 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: I'll let you go. 525 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 6: So the fifteen, we just need some tougher guys. We 526 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 6: need eleven Caig Fertisons on offense because he's a bad 527 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 6: you know what ye like, he's a tough kid from Wiscon. 528 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 6: You know what I mean, Like he knows how to 529 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 6: play football. Dak is overpaid, but you have to overpay 530 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 6: the quarterbacks. What are you going to do? I'm curious, 531 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 6: do you hear anything about Trey Lance? You can answer 532 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 6: that when we hand out. I mean, is he getting 533 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 6: any better? Because we did give up a pretty good 534 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 6: pick for him, right, I mean people say fourth round pick. 535 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 6: We found some dandies in the fourth round. Second round not. 536 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: So much, but well, I mean, don't forget about your 537 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: all pro cornerback that had eleven picks. I mean, you know, oh. 538 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: I forgot that. 539 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 6: Get I forget he's the second round. 540 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 541 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: I mean sometimes we kind of lump those guys in together, 542 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: those guys, you know that with the risk involved and 543 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: all that, and and and injured or what Jaylen Smith 544 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: type and all that. But I mean, no, Trey, I 545 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: mean Trayvon Davis was as well. He's the exception to 546 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: the rule. 547 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 6: He fizzled. He had that one game in New Orleans, 548 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 6: him and vander USh was drilling people. Do you remember 549 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 6: that game that was in the Superdome? 550 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: Sure? 551 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 6: Yeah, So I'm gonna list favorite rustler, macho man, and 552 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 6: Miss Elizabeth.

Brock Marion used to 555 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 6: always make it seem like he just missed the tackle. 556 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 6: He would always get up and like punch his arms, 557 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 6: and my brother and I like, we have that weird 558 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 6: sense of humor.

And I 597 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 6: played college baseball. I brought an aluminum bat and I 598 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 6: hit it off the wall. 599 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: Nice. 600 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 6: But I was in my late twenties. I hadn't played 601 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 6: in a while. 602 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: All right, all right, Mike Nick, I love you. 603 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 6: Christine go Cowboys. 604 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: There you go. Thanks, And with that we're complete. Fifty states. 605 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: Took a little bit for that for that fiftieth one, 606 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't have ever guessed that Massage Chusetts was 607 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: the one. But but that's pretty awesome. We got fifty states. 608 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: We found out the other day that we had were 609 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: sitting at nine hundred and ninety nine calls. Nine hundred 610 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: and ninety nine calls. And then the next show and 611 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: I actually forgot to bring it up. But the next 612 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: show it was lat It was a week ago. The 613 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: show started off with Joe and Stanford, who hasn't called yet, 614 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: but he was the one thousandth one thousandth call. I 615 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: can't say that quickly. He had one thousand calls and 616 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: it was him. So now we're sitting a little bit 617 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: more than that, you know, But now it took us 618 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: to get a thousand to get Mike from Boston. Love 619 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: it great call again, A lot of good stuff there, 620 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: all right, Alan in Idaho, Idaho before Massachusetts was his 621 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: first time call. 622 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: No, this is a second time called a little while back. 623 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: Okay, I know we had some calls from Idaho, but 624 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: I didn't know which one. But I guarantee we he 625 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: didn't give you the here we go, so we'll give 626 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: it to you. If Chris is paying attention, he might 627 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: be on the phone. That's fine, my Allan, what's up man, 628 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm on the phone. 629 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: I'll take it. At the end it's all good. 630 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: We'll take it. 631 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 3: Hey. 632 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: So I'm a huge fan of Dak. I understand he's 633 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: got his limitations. Playoff game. I don't know there's one 634 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: person that actually looked good during that whole thing. So 635 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: I think they do get that contract redone and all 636 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: that stuff. I think he's good to go. I think, 637 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: you know, being almost an MVP. Just give him a 638 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 2: run game and let's see what he actually does in 639 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 2: the second year under McCarthy. So I like all that. 640 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 2: My big question is is what are we going to 641 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: do with that backup now? Because we've got two guys, 642 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: if I understand correctly, are pretty much on one year 643 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 2: deals each. 644 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, the backup to which position? 645 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: The backup? Qbah? 646 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 3: Oh? 647 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: Backup? QB. I'm sorry, I thought you was talking about 648 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: running Bay. Oh No, you know that answers. The last 649 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: caller kind of talked about Trey Lance as well. I 650 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: I think that his progression would be to be the 651 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: be the backup this year, and that you could save 652 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: some money if you released Cooper Rush. But he's got 653 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: to be ready. He's got to be ready to do 654 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: that that if you you draft the guy or you 655 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: trade a fourth round pick for him. You know, last 656 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: year he just kind of sat and learned the offense. 657 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: He should be ready to be the backup at least, 658 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: So I think that that should be the direction that 659 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: I would want to go his look at the offseason, 660 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: see what happens. And you know, Cooper Rush could be 661 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: a June one release, honestly, but I think I think 662 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: you got to start getting Trey Lance at least ready 663 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: to be the backup. 664 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, And I guess that would be My question, 665 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 2: is you gave up a fourth forum the balls out. 666 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 2: There's no way you're resigning them. I can't imagine because someone, 667 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: you know, a free agency, You've already got your starring quarterback. 668 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: We wait, when does he ball out? 669 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 2: Well, it's going to have to be pre season for sure. 670 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: Well, I mean then you then he's your backup and 671 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, I mean you know, I mean I think 672 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: he would be your backup quarterback. And then well, then 673 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 1: what happens with Dak I mean, like they have options. 674 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean, would be the worst thing in the world 675 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: to have. But you know, and if Cooper Rush's still here, 676 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's something maybe you can trade him, 677 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, you trade him and get a pickback or 678 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: something like that. So you know you want them to 679 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: play well and and that just gives you more options. 680 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I was just like the way the 681 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 2: seasons started last year with Dak It's like, all right, 682 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 2: I could see them kind of looking at this spending 683 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 2: a fourth round, that's a good deal. But if you 684 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: do end up giving back that contract and you wasted 685 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: kind of a fourth round on the guy, especially when 686 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: you kind of here with this draft, everyone's talking about 687 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: that that middle rounds, they're they're awesome, you know, and 688 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: you kind of almost want that. But I guess it 689 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 2: was just kind of serious what your thoughts were on 690 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: that and just kind of how they how they navigate that, 691 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 2: and you know, did we waste the pick or or 692 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: draft pick or whatever. 693 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean I I think that you know, 694 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: they're just giving yourself more options than Thanks for the call, Alan, 695 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: appreciate that. You got to remember too, there you go, 696 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: it gets just here we go. Yeah, we'll make exceptions. 697 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: I know we weren't doing that when he called the 698 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: first time around. So and you know, we don't get 699 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: too many calls from Idaho. We need to that's another 700 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: place that wouldn't mind going. I mean, we almost did 701 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: a documentary about Boise State just because there was a 702 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: time there when there was about five five players and 703 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: a coach I m kellen Moore was it. I mean, 704 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: when you know, it's like what's going on Boise you know, 705 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: let's let's go check this place out. But uh, it 706 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: didn't materialize. But still it's kind of a fascinating place 707 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: for me. I'd like to go see it sometime. But 708 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: you gotta remember too, about that trade with Trey Lance, 709 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: like that didn't have the season, and I mean that 710 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: was in preseason. He was coming off the season where 711 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, he led the league in the interceptions and 712 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: and and missed a few games. So it wasn't it 713 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: wasn't his best year at all. Now he now he did. 714 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: He did have a nice game in the playoffs against 715 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: Tampa and but but still, like you're trying to just 716 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, if you have a chance to get a 717 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: player like Trey Lance and trade a fourth round pick 718 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: for him, you know they they probably scouted him very highly, 719 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: so you know this was just a kind of a 720 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: free look. I mean I say free, it's a fourth 721 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: round pick, but to get a player like that to 722 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: or at least try to develop him, and they're not 723 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: in any hurry with him, So I think that that's 724 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 1: that's kind of what the mindset was. Then Dak goes 725 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: out and has an outstanding year and this was second 726 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: in the MVP voting, so that I just think you 727 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: got to remember, you know that they made that that 728 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: trade to kind of cover themselves and now you know, 729 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: we'll see. But if he if he can move himself 730 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: into the backup role, that I think that shows pretty 731 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: good progress us for where he is in his career 732 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: in his development. All right, Derek and Seattle, Hey, Derek. 733 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 9: Hey there, Hey, just wanted to get your insight on 734 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 9: two things real quick. I'm hearing that there's no maybe 735 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 9: linebackers that are worthy to be taken in the first round, 736 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 9: but I feel like we got to get a stud 737 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 9: linebacker over an interior defensive lineman. So I want your 738 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 9: thoughts on that. Which would you pick in the first 739 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 9: round and then second? Now I don't watch all the tape, 740 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 9: but I watch every Cowboy game. Dallas's run game. We 741 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 9: both agree they got to improve it, but man, it 742 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 9: seems so vanilla to me. It seems like they run 743 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 9: three types of runs. And I watch all these other 744 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 9: teams and they're running beautiful trap plays and pulling guards 745 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 9: and just so creative. And I don't know if that's 746 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 9: McCarthy or what, but maybe it's not true. But to me, 747 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,919 Speaker 9: good grief, their runs look exactly the same every time. 748 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: So get on. Well, I don't know if I agree 749 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: with that. Thanks for the call. I mean, like, you know, 750 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: I think that's very normal to kind of think, because 751 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: you watch them so much, you kind of think, oh, 752 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: they all look the same. I've never thought that, honestly, 753 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: I've never thought that the runs look look the same. 754 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I see, I see some creativity in there. 755 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: I see, you know, definitely see some receivers running the 756 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: ball and on jet sweeps and reverses and things like that. 757 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: You know, I see, I see the pitches. I see 758 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: the traps. I see that, you know, the you know, 759 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: the dives right up the mill. I mean, I don't know, 760 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I see that. I just don't 761 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: think they they block as well as they should, you know, 762 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: And I and I think I don't think Tony Pollard 763 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: is the best at dragging the ball, you know, the 764 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 1: pile for three or four yards. I mean, why would 765 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: he be you know, I mean, that's just not the 766 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,919 Speaker 1: type of runner he is. And I think the team 767 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: can be better at the scheme. I think the blocking 768 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: schemes can can get better. So you know, do they 769 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: need to get a running back to improve it? Do 770 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: they need to get better scheme? So they need to 771 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: get better blockers up front? I'd say yes, yes, yes 772 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: to all of that. So but but and then to 773 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: answer your first question, linebacker defensive tackle in the first round. 774 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: I meant at twenty four, if you pick it twenty four, 775 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, somebody desperately wants this pick, and you're and 776 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you've got five six guys that 777 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: you're that you kind of like, hey, I'd trade back. 778 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: I'd pick up a third or second or for you know, 779 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: for whatever, because you know you're not you don't have 780 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 1: until before the cop picks have been you know, come out. 781 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: Yet you don't have a fourth, fifth, or six right now. 782 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: So I could see them trading back unless they are 783 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: sitting in the war room and going, can you believe 784 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: this guy hasn't been picked? We had him as our 785 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: fifth best player and he's still there. What's wrong? Carl 786 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 1: did he do something? Is he in trouble? What happens 787 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: he heard? I mean, I'm sure that that was the 788 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: kind of stuff happening. When CD Lamb was falling. They 789 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: weren't going to take c. D. Lamb at seventeen. There's 790 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: no way he's not gonna get past ten. But he 791 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: did and he still does. And then you call and 792 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: make sure that you know everything's good and uh and 793 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: you and you change your draft board. So at twenty 794 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: four that could happen. So just leave all those options open. 795 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: And maybe it's not a linebacker, maybe it's not defensive tackle, 796 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: maybe it's a position we're not even talking about, but 797 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: it's just their their best player. But you do that 798 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: if you take care of business in free agency and 799 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: get and make sure that you get, you know, quality 800 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: players that can kind of fill these positions. All right, 801 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: let's go to Joe in Stamford, Joe Hey. 802 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 3: One thousand color. I'd say that's probably pretty poetic. 803 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: What do you think I mean, if anybody was going 804 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: to do it, I mean it would be you because 805 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you've called. I think you're in 806 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: the top three of all time calls, especially early on 807 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: you were calling a lot. You were the kind of 808 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: carrying this thing. I thought you were number one. I 809 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: had to go back and review the tape. I thought 810 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: you would be number one, but you weren't. And ironically, 811 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: the person that did call first has never called again. 812 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, that's funny. 813 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know. I had that gap there of 814 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 3: about three or four weeks where the cowboys were sort 815 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 3: of struggling and I was sort of struggling to get 816 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 3: up out of bed to call at ten am. But 817 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 3: I sure have enjoyed it, Nick, I've enjoyed this show 818 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 3: a great deal. I appreciate that really has given me 819 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 3: something to look forward to. Honestly, I wasn't going to 820 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 3: call the day and then you said that I was 821 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 3: a thousandth caller, and I was like, well, that's a badass. 822 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 3: I got a call. 823 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: I called you out, so that means you had to call. 824 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, Well, we appreciate you absolutely. 825 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 3: Well. I appreciate you too, brother. I think what you're 826 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 3: doing is great. So we were talking about free agency 827 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 3: and and what we can fill in, what we should 828 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 3: draft for. I'm looking right now at the running backs 829 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 3: available in free agency, and I think with the expansion 830 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 3: of the salary cap. I think, like you were saying 831 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 3: the other day, I think it's a no brainer that 832 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 3: we pick up one of these good backs. Any of 833 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 3: the top three or four would be great. I don't 834 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 3: know about Pollard frankly, it depends on how much we pay, 835 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 3: but definitely Barkley, Henry, Jacob's all really good choices. In 836 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 3: my opinion, I sort of lean towards Henry, but I 837 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 3: think that we might have to pay him or Barkley 838 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 3: the most. I think we could do that. Running backs, 839 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 3: even at their top of what they're going to get paid, 840 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 3: is not a salary cap killer, especially if we're trying 841 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 3: to actually get markedly better for this year. So I 842 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 3: think it's a no brainer. I think we're definitely gonna 843 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 3: do that. It definitely feel as a whole. As far 844 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 3: as the draft, you know, we always do better when 845 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 3: we picked the best player available. Last year, we reached 846 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 3: for holes in the roster and we saw what happened. 847 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 3: Now remains to be seen about those two young men. 848 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 3: They may end up being great. I don't really think so, 849 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 3: but they could be serviceable. 850 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 7: We'll see. 851 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 3: But we always do better when no matter what we 852 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 3: make it happen with the best player available. So I 853 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 3: hope that's what we do. 854 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks for the call, Joe. I mean, 855 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: let me say this about about that though, you know, 856 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: I think I just said it a few minutes ago. 857 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: Best player available works when you're in a position to 858 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: do that, When you're in position to take the best 859 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: player available, then you then you you know, you can 860 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: do that. But if you don't, if you have some 861 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: holes and you know, and it's easier to say that 862 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,240 Speaker 1: too when you kind of you're looking at the entire thing, okay, 863 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: and you're like, the best player available is a is 864 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: a linebacker. You know, let's say, but there's seven linebackers 865 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: we like that are the first you know, second or 866 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: third round. But the linebacker is a little better than 867 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: this tackle. But after this it gets very very bare. 868 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: So do we take the tackle now and go in 869 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: the second round and get a linebacker because there's seven 870 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: that we like. So that's where, you know, when you 871 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: look at it with the entire board and who they 872 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: have these guys and where they have them rated, it's 873 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: it's a little bit more difficult to say, you know, 874 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: just stick to your board all the time. I mean, 875 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:36,760 Speaker 1: I remember that happened in twenty years ago. Parcels' first draft. 876 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 1: He takes Terrence Newman in the first round. In the 877 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: second round, he wanted a tight end, but there was 878 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 1: five tight ends that he liked, and there were some 879 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: really good ones. There was only one center that he 880 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: that he could take and that was Al Johnson. So 881 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: Al Johnson wasn't really the highest rated player, but that 882 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: he didn't feel like there was any other centers. He 883 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: had to go get that. And then one of these 884 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: guys he liked would still be there at tight end 885 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: in the third round, and there was. There was a 886 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: guy named Jason Whitten, so they ended up taking him 887 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: in the third round. Now, Jason Whitten was getting pissed 888 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: off and Elizabeth Tenville, Tennessee whatever it is, ripping off 889 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: the door, off the hinges because he was pissed off. Okay, 890 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry about the door. But it all worked out, right, 891 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: it all worked out. Seventeen year career, going to be 892 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, Ring of Honor, all that stuff, 893 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: all right. And Joe the one thousandth caller, we really appreciate, 894 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. You kind of helped get this thing going 895 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: off the ground. Uh, you know, there was some there 896 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: was a show where we didn't have any calls, and 897 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: Chris was really mad about that, but I told him 898 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: to calm down. We'll be fine, they'll come. That's exactly 899 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: how it happened, I believe, And that's not how it happens, 900 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: not how it happened. It was something like that. It was. 901 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: It was something like that. 902 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 8: Probably. 903 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: Now I was charting, you know, I was charting the show. 904 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: So I did this and I was like, this show 905 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: was like all right, this is easy to chart. Move 906 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: to the next page. Because nobody called that day. But 907 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 1: that's what I got on Twitter and I was like, hey, 908 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: I needs you guys call the next show eight, the 909 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: next show sixteen, which is still the most that we've 910 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,479 Speaker 1: had in a one hour show. So yeah, all right, 911 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: So a producer question, Oh, the lines are open. Lines 912 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: are open, So all right, and then we're all about 913 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: to be done here, but we still take another caller 914 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: to eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. 915 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: If you're calling from a state or country that we've 916 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: never had, uh, definitely the countries. We've had, all the 917 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 1: states now. Thank you to Mike in Boston, Massachusetts filled 918 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: that up for us. All Right, we've got a producer question. Uh, 919 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,879 Speaker 1: maybe this is chrispy and curious, or maybe he didn't 920 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 1: have any text lines questions either, and we're just kind 921 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: of trying to get through. Can I get Can I 922 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the trade deadline proposal? Pushing it back? 923 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: I think it was Cleveland that that is proposing that 924 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: the trade deadline is just too early in the season, 925 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,280 Speaker 1: especially compared to the other leagues, other leagues NBA, NHL, 926 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,240 Speaker 1: major League Baseball, they're sitting at around fifty five, sixty, 927 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: even seventy eight percent of this season that has gone 928 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: on when the trade deadline. So in the Cowboy I mean, 929 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry Cowboys, the NFL is about forty five percent, 930 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: So it's it's about week you know, that's about week six, seven, seven, 931 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: probably seven or eight. And so as the as the year, 932 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: you know, we've gone to set eighteen weeks season now 933 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: seventeen games with a buye so and they really haven't 934 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: adjusted that. So that's kind of what one team is proposing, 935 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: and I think it's getting some traction here. But what 936 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: I wonder is from the fans perspective, yes, everyone would 937 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: like that. So fans are liking that. What I wonder is, 938 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: from a marketing perspective, the NFL does the NFL like 939 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: that does because you get so you think about like 940 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: this early on in the season, still week six, week seven, 941 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody still has kind of a chance. I mean, 942 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: you're still in this. You can turn things around. We've 943 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,800 Speaker 1: seen it happen. You can turn this around and and 944 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 1: really get to where you want to go, especially with 945 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: seven playoff to you know, spots now. But you get 946 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: later on and you're like, hey, this isn't happening. Well, 947 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: let's trade this guy. Let's trade him because he's going 948 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: to be a free agent next year. Let's get something 949 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: for him, and let's let's trade him. And let's trade 950 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: this guy too and get another pick. And we already 951 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: got this guy injury. You know, this injury is really 952 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: hard on us. And we're three and six or three 953 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: into I don't know whatever it would be, but you 954 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: know you're kind of out of it. So what actually 955 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 1: happened this year? I believe, well, what are the fans do? 956 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 1: What happens then? Because you're telling everybody, you know, it 957 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: happens in baseball. So when you say, are you going 958 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: to be a contender? Are you going to trade? Well, 959 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,919 Speaker 1: you start trading, where's the outfield stands look like? When 960 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 1: you start doing that? Like, So that's what I think 961 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: is the one move the NFL is worried about, is 962 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,320 Speaker 1: do we do this too late? And then then the 963 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: last month of the season when the teams are saying, 964 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 1: well we're kind of throwing in the red flat or 965 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: the white flag here, Well, then they're the fan to 966 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: do as well, you know. And uh so that's that 967 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 1: in ratings and all that kind of stuff too, that 968 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: it all affects it. But I I like it. I mean, 969 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: I don't think it's too bad. I wouldn't go too 970 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 1: late into the season. I think you could move it 971 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: a week or two back. I don't think it would 972 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: hurt anything. So what do you think, Chris? Here's his question. No, 973 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: maybe he's on the line on the phone. We got 974 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: another caller. We're gonna maryl last caller. What we got 975 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 1: daytone and Maryland? That's day tone in Maryland. What's up? Man? 976 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 6: Fan of yours? Man? 977 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: Appreciate it?

Uh so, And basically I just woke up and 984 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 8: I heard as I hurry up and clicked the out 985 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 8: because I've been meaning to call in in general, but 986 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 8: every time I call it usually the show is already 987 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,879 Speaker 8: over or something like that. 988 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 3: So I was like, yeah, but. 989 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 8: So I got like a it's like a fantasy type 990 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,360 Speaker 8: of question. But do you think that this will stop 991 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 8: to uh, you know, include the defense in a way 992 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 8: where nobody can run on us. If we able to 993 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 8: get these players, is it possibly I a name one 994 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 8: more or those? 995 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, go for it, content, you say whoever. 996 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 8: You want, all right, So okay, so say so, for instance, 997 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 8: we got like how we already got the Marcus launch, 998 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 8: we got Micah and stuff like that. 999 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: Okay, cool. 1000 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 8: What if we get someone like Jadavion you know, flown 1001 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,520 Speaker 8: me and you know in the on the edge and 1002 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 8: then you know or de tackle you know, you either 1003 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 8: resign him pens and get someone else like a I 1004 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 8: think his name is al Sean Robberson something like that. 1005 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 1: Uh, you got me on you got me on some 1006 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: of those what type of what where do you think 1007 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:42,959 Speaker 1: this team needs the help type? 1008 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,840 Speaker 8: But I think I think they need help, you know, 1009 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 8: like well, but well, in my mind, I wanted to 1010 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 8: also get your opinion on this because I've been meaning 1011 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 8: it so because now it's just not popped up to 1012 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 8: my head. So I really I think they need to 1013 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 8: helping in thee in the interior, you know. I think 1014 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,760 Speaker 8: Micah if he gets bigger, you know what I'm saying, 1015 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 8: so he can be able to be more physical in 1016 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 8: the run. I think also if they get two linebackers 1017 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 8: and uh, in my opinion as far as Stefan Gilmore, 1018 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 8: I don't know how you feel about this, but this 1019 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 8: is where I wanted to ask, do you feel like 1020 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 8: like because you know, he's kind of old and you 1021 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 8: you know, I'm not saying that, you know, but you know, 1022 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 8: it's it's close to that time where you know, the 1023 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 8: speed of you know, him keeping up with these young 1024 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 8: receivers or stuff like that might be kept getting up 1025 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 8: to him. So I was thinking, do you feel like 1026 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,879 Speaker 8: he could play safety like free safety like a Melie cooking, 1027 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 8: you know how Luca is playing If he wasn't on 1028 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 8: that pact. But if Malie Hooker would say this is 1029 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 8: his you know, contract year, he I mean, what this 1030 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 8: is his contract gear. But I'm saying, say it's his 1031 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 8: contract is respiring when you think about like fitting Stephan 1032 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 8: and at free safety and think he can do it, 1033 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 8: and and then yeah, I would, I would get someone 1034 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 8: like how the other call of the floor was like 1035 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,399 Speaker 8: a zad and hours or something like that they need 1036 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 8: in business. Yeah, and then as far as offense, I 1037 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 8: just think we need running back and you know, obviously 1038 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:23,399 Speaker 8: uh do something with the old line. And I think 1039 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,400 Speaker 8: Brandon Cooks is cool, but I still think we need 1040 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 8: we should get someone else, you know, all right, just 1041 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,439 Speaker 8: to take the pressure off studios. Right, That's all I got. 1042 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: Okay, they don't appreciate that. Thanks for the call. You 1043 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,000 Speaker 1: know a lot of different stuff to get. I mean 1044 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 1: a lot of things team people want out of free agency, 1045 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know if you if they're 1046 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: gonna fix everything that they need or or address them all. 1047 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 1: You know, I don't typically think corners just because you're 1048 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 1: a little bit older or you know, lost a step 1049 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,800 Speaker 1: at corner, the not mean you can be a safety 1050 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 1: I think that that a lot of fans kind of 1051 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,719 Speaker 1: think that none in this case, the fan Gilmore. I'm 1052 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 1: not saying that Daytona is saying that. I'm saying in 1053 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: this particular case, I mean, Gilmore probably can do that. 1054 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 1: You have to you have to understand the game. You 1055 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: have to be able to understand coverages. It's not just 1056 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 1: covering your guy, it's more than that. You know, you 1057 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 1: understand the whole defense and be you know that your 1058 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: awareness has to be up there, which I think he 1059 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: could do that. He'll has to be willing to hit, 1060 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: so you know, there's been some corners that have moved 1061 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: to safety a little bit older in their career. I 1062 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: still think he's a safe of a corner though. I 1063 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 1: still think he's a cornerback. They'll probably try to get 1064 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: him cheaper since he's injured. Talking about Stefan Gilmore. But 1065 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: you know, as for all those other positions, I mean, 1066 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,440 Speaker 1: we'll we'll, we'll see what they do. There's gonna be 1067 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: some surprises. Hopefully they are good surprises. You know last 1068 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 1: year there were some good ones. Well, we'll see what 1069 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: they do there, and if running back is one of them, 1070 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 1: I mean I think that you know, they have an 1071 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to get a running back that that you know 1072 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 1: is a is a good player or has been a 1073 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,439 Speaker 1: good player, and you know, put them on this team 1074 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 1: and maybe create a little excitement from from that regard. So, uh, 1075 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: that's kind of what we're hoping. We still got a 1076 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:20,359 Speaker 1: couple more shows before then, uh, and it'll be it'll 1077 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,839 Speaker 1: be fun to kind of talk about it though. We'll 1078 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 1: talk about it next Tuesday, and uh, we may have 1079 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 1: a little bit of a schedule change at the end 1080 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: of next week, but we will definitely announce that as well. 1081 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,479 Speaker 1: And at some point I'm getting together the all all 1082 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: storyline team as this first year kind of wraps up, 1083 00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: and and uh, it always kind of ends at the 1084 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: end of at the end of you know, right before 1085 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 1: a free agency starts, is kind of when the fiscal 1086 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: year is over. So maybe next week, maybe next Thursday, 1087 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: potentially Friday. I have to talk to Beam about that 1088 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 1: a good time. You're the producer. I mean, I guess 1089 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna be on You're gonna there's gonna be positions, okay, 1090 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know about that. I'm still 1091 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of on the fly. But if there's 1092 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:11,359 Speaker 1: a producer position, it's gonna be you, okay. So yeah, 1093 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 1: you'll you'll be the guy one huh, one of one, 1094 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: one of one. That's fine. So you'll you'll you'll be 1095 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 1: on it for sure. But you know, we'll see, we'll 1096 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,440 Speaker 1: see where I kind of draw the line there. I 1097 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 1: might have some honorary exceptions there as well. And I 1098 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 1: got to remember about the text caller of the Texters, 1099 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,799 Speaker 1: uh too. Just because you can't call it doesn't mean 1100 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 1: you can't be on the team. I think there's a 1101 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: couple that maybe maybe Mike from Boston, you know, and 1102 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 1: especially if he can you know, if he's from Boston, 1103 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna come kick my ass. So I 1104 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 1: might have to put him on there, right right. Yeah, 1105 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,839 Speaker 1: I mean I'm not giving it away except for Joe 1106 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 1: and Stanford. You're gonna be on the team.
