1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 4: What is up? Everyone? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Tuesday,

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 4: January the thirtieth, and it's time to talk more Cowboys. Obviously,

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 4: we know the teams in the Super Bowl and not

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 4: really a huge surprise. I mean, obviously the forty nine

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 4: ers have been one of the best teams all year. Yeah,

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 4: the Chiefs struggled at some point in the regular season,

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 4: but they always had Mahomes and they always have Andy

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 4: Reid and Kelsey and that group, and you never count

13
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 4: them out. And they look where they are and it

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: should be a fun Super Bowl. Obviously from the Cowboys perspective,

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: you look at it and you go, well, why not

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: us again? Why not? Why couldn't this team get there,

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 4: get over the top. And do you look at the

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: championship games and the divisional rounds and see things among

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: those teams, and you know, I do, Actually I see

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: some ability to run the football and the toughness that

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys still need to kind of get

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 4: to that level. Not saying they're not tough, but you've

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 4: got to be tougher than what we've seen, especially in

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 4: the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've talked

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 4: about it, and I'm sure we'll talk about it some

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 4: more right now at the two All Star Games going on,

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 4: one of them here at the start of the East

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: West Shrine Game for the first time, is in Frisco.

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: See some players on the field. We've been able to

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: watch some of the practices. And then Mobile, Alabama is

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: the Senior Bowl going on as well, and it's kind

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 4: of a new year in college All Star games would

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: now allowing the juniors to play if they if they

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: want to play in these games, and that's something we

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: haven't seen before. So you're seeing juniors at the Senior Bowl.

36
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: It's just the way it is. Jerry Jones Stephen Jones

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: are down Inmobile. I know Nick Harris was there among

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: some of the reporters talking to Jerry and Steven just now.

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 4: So go back to the website Dallas Cowboys dot com.

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: We'll have some stories and updates on that all right.

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: Also Pro Bowl news, the Cowboys have three more Pro

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 4: bowlers added, Jake Ferguson, Tyler Smith, the Marcus Lawrence much

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: deserving for them. Cowboys now have ten Pro Bowlers in

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 4: the game. Obviously it's not a game, but ten selections,

45
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: and judging by Twitter and my tweet of it, I

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: can tell not a lot of fans care about that,

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 4: which is fine. You shouldn't really, but you know, from

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: a player standpoints, a big deal for those guys. And

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: you know, to be a four time Pro Bowler for

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: DeMarcus Lawrence is big and obviously first timer for Tyler

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: and Jake Ferguson. All right, we are going to the

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: phone lines eight at eight eight five, five two two

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: nine seven. Joe in Stanford, You've been holding for a while.

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: Appreciate that, Joe. What's up?

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Hey, morning, brother, Appreciate you.

56
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: How are you?

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Good man? You know I'm further we get away from

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: the game, less angry.

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 3: I feel.

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: First, you know, as far as the Super Bowl goals,

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: none of my team's won it. Usually It's worked out

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: that way for a long time now. Back in the nineties,

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: I was a Bulls and a Cowboys fan, But since then,

64
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: every team I root for loses, so I'm getting used

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: to it. I guess I'm rooting for Kansas City. My

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: homes is a Texan, so I guess I can go

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: that way with it. Two things real quick, I won't

68
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: be as long as I was last time. First, do

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: you think Trey Lance is going to be our backup?

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Do you think the Cowboys actually have a plan for

71
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: his future to be with the Cowboys? And the second

72
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: thing is that broadest rant that everybody has talked about.

73
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Do you feel like that Steven is happy with the

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: status quo because that's essentially what brought us is in

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Sea Wait, and that he doesn't really care as long

76
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: as we're relevant.

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: I don't agree with them.

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that's what he's saying. Don't you

79
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: think that's what he was saying.

80
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people think that that I've had,

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: We've had callers on here that think that that the

82
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 4: Cowboys want to just be relevant, like just want to

83
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: be up there. And I don't. I don't necessarily I

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: don't agree with that at all, that you just want

85
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 4: to be relevant. But I think people are mistaking the

86
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: fact that they're not making big changes that's saying that

87
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: they're okay with it. I don't. I don't agree with that.

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 4: I think that you know, you have a good good team,

89
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: You have a you've built a foundation here. What tweaks

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: do we need to do? We need to blow this

91
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: whole thing up? Or do you need to make a

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: couple of changes here and there? And I think that's

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: the route the Cowboys going back. I don't think it's

94
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: like we're fine, we had a great year because we

95
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: have all these ratings on our football game and I

96
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: don't think that's it at all.

97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: And do you real quick, let me ask you this, Yeah,

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: do you think that they have they have or are

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: going to make changes because it could look like the

100
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: same whole thing if Quinn comes back. I mean, are

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 1: there any weeks or change is gonna happen.

102
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a great question. And I've written

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: an article on that they have to do something. They

104
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: are not good enough. I mean, like we watched the

105
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: Green Bay forty nine er game and you're like, both

106
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: of these teams just kick their ass. So you're not

107
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 4: that close. I mean they're close, but not really. You know,

108
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: they are not on the level of the forty nine ers,

109
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 4: And I don't know if they would be for the

110
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: Chiefs that didn't they didn't play them, So you're there,

111
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: You're in the tournament, you know, but you're not you're

112
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: not on that top level, and so they've got to

113
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: figure out a way to get there. Joe, I mean,

114
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: that's you're right about that, and you're not gonna change

115
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: any coordinators and all that. You're gonna say, let's roll

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: this out again. Think about dan Quinn's defense from year

117
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: one to year two. It was much different. That's what

118
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: I think. Jerry's hoping that y're one to two from

119
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: McCarthy and Dak could be even better than what it was.

120
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: But they better get a running game in there. That's

121
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 4: what I think needs to be fixed. They've got to

122
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 4: get they've got to be able to run the ball

123
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: when it's third and three and you're trying to run

124
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: out the clock and everyone knows you've got to run

125
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: the football because you've got to make sure they call

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: a time out. You know, you got to be able

127
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 4: to get three yards because Pacheco can do it for

128
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. They figure it out and they can run

129
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: it when the world knows they're running.

130
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, all four of the teams in the in

131
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: the championship games had very substantial run games.

132
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 4: Yes, and in different ways. Sometimes it's it's running the

133
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 4: ball right up the middle. Sometimes it's Lamar Jackson running

134
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: it or whatever it is. You know, sometimes you have

135
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: receivers running it like the forty nine ers have. They

136
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: have all kinds of different runners there, but one way

137
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: or another, they don't have to put the ball in

138
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: the air to get yardage. And I think that's what

139
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: the Cowboys need to figure out how to do a

140
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: better job of. Thanks man, Thanks Joe, appreciate that. All right,

141
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: let's keep it rolling here, we've got we got to.

142
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: Let's go on with a text question here, Dan from Philly,

143
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: what are your thoughts on Dan Campbell's decisions on all

144
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 4: the fourth down calls against the Niners. It's one thing

145
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: to be aggressive, but he keeps putting his team in

146
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: bast situations. Past cowboy Greg Hardy, I'm good on that one.

147
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: That's fine, Greg Cardy. They don't have a whole lot

148
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: for him, Dan Campbell, Now there's a past cowboy. Well

149
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: we'll talk about that one. You know, that's that was unfortunate.

150
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: I didn't agree with that. With the calls, I didn't agree.

151
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: And this is not hindsight. It's not hindsight. It's right there.

152
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: It's actually foresight when you think about it. I mean,

153
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: I didn't have a huge problem with the fourth down

154
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: fourth quarter one as I did the third quarter. Third quarter.

155
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: I thought that was a ridiculous decision because you're up

156
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: seventeen at the half and you know the forty nine

157
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: ers are gonna come at you. They're ready, whatever they said.

158
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: They gotta get this thing done. They go down and

159
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: get a field goal, You drive down, you could get

160
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: another field goal. At this point, we can just match

161
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: whatever you're doing. I can do that's cool because I'm

162
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: up seventeen. But they didn't. They went for it. Try

163
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: to go up twenty one, and they didn't get it.

164
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: Next thing, you know, it's a seven point game because

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: weird stuff starts to happen, and then you start, you know,

166
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: then you start nerves start factoring. I thought that was

167
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: a bad decision by Dan Campbell the first time around.

168
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: And I say this all the time. I there's a

169
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: there's no difference to me between playing to win and

170
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: playing not to lose. The result is the same. And

171
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 4: I think that you've got to put yourself in the

172
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: best you know, situation to will win the game, and

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: especially you know, put the forty nine ers, keep them

174
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: on the ropes, And I thought that, you know, and

175
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: that's the way he plays. And he played it against

176
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. He was just like, go for it two points. Oh,

177
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 4: now now you're you're back to the seven. Go for it.

178
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: Oh you didn't get it again, but you got another

179
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 4: penal to go for it. It's like, you know, I mean,

180
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: you play that way, you're gonna you're gonna win some,

181
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 4: you're gonna lose some. But I thought in this situation,

182
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: I thought, held have played it a little bit smarter

183
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: than he did. But you know, that's that's the style

184
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: that got him there. That's the style that everyone loves,

185
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: and he's going to be that way. But I thought

186
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: his impatience maybe got the best of him a little bit.

187
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: All Right, Alex in South Bay, California, Alex.

188
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: Hey, what's going on?

189
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: Nick?

190
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: How you doing?

191
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: No' talk? Hope?

192
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: Paul has been well.

193
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 5: Happy New Year. It's been a while.

194
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: I just wanted to touch on two things really quick for you.

195
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: So the first is, you know, as a because when

196
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: I called the very first time, I had mentioned you know,

197
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: I grew up on the Triplets. My favorite player was

198
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: Emma Smith, which obviously that's still to this day. But

199
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: I don't have as good as a memory as you do.

200
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: I can't go back and think of like a particular

201
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: play or something like that that I remember, So my

202
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: most recent memories go. Take me to my first question

203
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: that I have for you as a fan and as

204
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: someone who covers the team. Two games that come to

205
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: mind for me that were just my favorite twenty sixteen

206
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: when you're being led by two rookies in Pittsburgh and

207
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: a shootout with Big Ben and twenty fourteen when you

208
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 2: go visit Seattle who just came from winning a championship

209
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: like those were. Those are my two most recent favorite

210
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: memories of two games that I just thought, we're outstanding. Yeah,

211
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: I just wanted your opinion as far as like a

212
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: fan and someone who covers the team. Again, out of

213
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: those two games, do you have a particular favorite for

214
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 2: each as a fan and as a reporter? Thought I

215
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: was question number one, and then question number two for

216
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: you was, I don't know if you heard the you know,

217
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: the little news that kind of broke out regarding a

218
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: past employee with the Dallas Cowboys who you know, said

219
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: a little story about the Detroit Lions calling the Cowboys.

220
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what year was about a potential trade, uh,

221
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: Stephen Jones answered, and he really didn't do much with that. Uh,

222
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: you know. Hearing that as a fan, it's just very disheartening.

223
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: If that's how the organization, the organization is ran, I'm

224
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: going to be run like that obviously, because he's not

225
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: going anywhere. I just want to see if you have

226
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: an opinion on that, and then I'll just hang up

227
00:10:59,480 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: and listen.

228
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: All right, regarding that that now, I'm not in the

229
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: room either, so but but from a lot of people

230
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: that that have been in the room and and and

231
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 4: that that story is kind of uh, that's gotten some

232
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 4: people's attention. I'll just say this, you know, from someone

233
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: that wasn't in there, though, that that story is being

234
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: told that that didn't happen. Okay, that's that's the side

235
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: that I'm hearing that that nothing close to that happened.

236
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: So if you want to form an opinion on that,

237
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: I think you're you're marking up the wrong tree on

238
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: on that one. So the person that told that story

239
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: wasn't in the room either, so it's hard for me

240
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: to say they didn't have all I know is that

241
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 4: I don't think the Cowboys are you know that they

242
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 4: obviously didn't like hearing that because they don't feel like

243
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: that that anything close to that has happened. So uh again,

244
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 4: that's it's I didn't I wasn't there. I have a

245
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: hard time believing that anything close to that happening, So

246
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: I'll just leave it at that. As for those two

247
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: games twenty sixteen twenty fourteen, both of them great, both

248
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: of them games that were kind of statement type. And

249
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 4: it's funny how you can in fourteen you're making a

250
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: statement and then two years later you're doing it again

251
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: because of kind of what happened in fifteen. But both

252
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: of those were statement games on the road, tough place

253
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 4: to win, and both of them were going back to

254
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 4: what we said in the first call, run the ball.

255
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna run it. We're gonna you know, we're gonna

256
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: run the football and you can't do anything just to

257
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: stop them. And so that's that's sort of what what

258
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: happened in those games. Different runners Marco Murray won and

259
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: Zeke and the other one. But I think it was

260
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: just an ability to go in there in a tough

261
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: place if you can run the ball and you can

262
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 4: you know, your offensive line can push people around. Doesn't

263
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 4: really matter if it's if it's on the road or

264
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 4: grass and indoors turf, doesn't really matter. You can do it,

265
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: you know. So I think that's one of those situations

266
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 4: where the Cowboys those two games were just it was

267
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: just as grit, go up there and go take it.

268
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: Both of them are really fun and enjoyable to be

269
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 4: right there for it. So good good stuff there. All right,

270
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 4: let's go to Robin Vegas is our next caller.

271
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, Hey, Rob, you know that watching that Ravens game,

272
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: I thought I was looking at the Cowboys. I mean,

273
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 6: you saw a team that was undisciplined, making stupid penalties.

274
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 6: And Lamar Prescott, you know, he's the same guy, him

275
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 6: and Deck. It's amazing how well in the playoffs he's

276
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 6: two and four in decks two and five. And what

277
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 6: I mean by that is these are two really good quarterbacks.

278
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 6: Yea in the regular season, but when you get them

279
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, they don't even resemble each you know

280
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 6: what they do. Lamar for some reason, thought he was

281
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 6: going to go toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes throwing

282
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 6: the ball, and I don't understand why his attribute is

283
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 6: running and moving and and he he just wasn't doing

284
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 6: that enough. And the turnovers, I mean we see that

285
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 6: with Dak. It's the turnovers. I'd always kill each of

286
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 6: those quarterbacks in the playoffs. And uh, but Lamar will

287
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 6: never get you know, the heat like Dak will now

288
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 6: talking about Dallas. Thought I gonna do anything big. No,

289
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 6: you know how Jerry's going to spin this. Jerry's going

290
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 6: to turn around and say, well, we got Digs coming back,

291
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 6: We got over shown going to come back. Mazie should

292
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 6: be better, Mike McCarthy, the offense should be better in

293
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 6: a second year. That's how he's going to spin it.

294
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 6: He's not going to go after a Chris Jones from

295
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 6: Tansas City or Patrick Queen from the Graves. He's not

296
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 6: going to do those moves he should if he really

297
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: thinks he's close. Yeah, and he's staying he's going to

298
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 6: sign d to fifty something million. And if dan Quinn

299
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 6: comes back, you need to make some moves. Not for

300
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 6: the not so much for the fans, because unfortunately guys

301
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 6: like us who and women like us that are on

302
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 6: the show, we're gonna watch free dollars. If we're four

303
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 6: and twelve of thirty, you know we're going to be there.

304
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 6: But if you truly believe that you're in the same

305
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 6: class as the forty nine Ers, the Eagles, whoever, and

306
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 6: you're only a player at two a way, and we

307
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 6: see what plays their way. They need defensive line and

308
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 6: they need linebackers on the defense and on the offense.

309
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 6: You do need a running back, but you need a bigger,

310
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 6: stronger offensive line, maybe center. If you truly believe that's

311
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 6: all you're missing, Well, there's a lot of good guys.

312
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 6: He got the guy in Washington. I would love for

313
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 6: him to make a move. For all, you're.

314
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: Going to have to spend some money.

315
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 6: I don't see them moving Michael Parsons to middle linebacker,

316
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 6: which that would be the best move to do, but

317
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 6: I don't see it. We already discussed that, but unfortunately

318
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 6: I just see I think that's how Jerry's gonna spit it.

319
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: Don't know about the Stephen Jones thing. I hope he

320
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 6: doesn't become like the Steinbrenner family. When mister Steinbrenner passed away,

321
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 6: the Yankees fell apart because the kids never had to

322
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 6: put in the blood, sweat and tears, like mister Steinbrenner did,

323
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 6: and like mister Jones, did you know? Yeah, you bought

324
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 6: the team. And let's face it, it's good to be

325
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 6: a Jones. I mean, the grandsons, the sons, the daughters.

326
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: Here you go. You're a multi billionaire from the womb.

327
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 6: I mean, that's an awesome thing. They're not as hungry

328
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 6: as the father. And to go two ways, but do

329
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 6: you know that?

330
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: Hold on? But do you know that? I mean, do

331
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: you really know who's hungry and who isn't?

332
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 6: I mean, like that's that's dominantly predominantly. Yes, Yes, it's

333
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 6: just a natural thing. You see it with Jerry, Jerry

334
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 6: made two coaching moves that were unconventional. Jimmy, because I

335
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 6: just did invested a and forty million. I needed a return.

336
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 6: As soon as he got the return, Jimmy was gone

337
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 6: because I didn't want to put up with the craft

338
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 6: Bill Parcells. I needed a new stadium and Dave Campbell

339
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 6: was not getting that. After that, it was more about

340
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 6: being comfortable. We talked about it. He hired coaches that

341
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 6: had no business. Jerry wanted it, but there's no way

342
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 6: that his kids could be as hungry as Jerry. The

343
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 6: team is worth eleven billion, the richest sports team in

344
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 6: the world, and hasn't won anything in thirty years. So

345
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 6: how bad is life? How bad is things? That's why Jerry,

346
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 6: and unfortunately the kids always say, Dad, things aren't so bad.

347
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 6: Let's not blow it up, Let's not make the move.

348
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 6: I would love to be in a fly in the

349
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 6: room and say hear Jerry say I think we should

350
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 6: do this. No that I don't think that's a good movie.

351
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 6: You know, we are twelve the five because they they're

352
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 6: not invested like Jerry. I'm not saying they don't want

353
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 6: to win, but it's just natural. It's just natural that

354
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: these they never had to go through the hard times.

355
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 6: So I just I just think that's part of the

356
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 6: problem with this, with the with the whole system of

357
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 6: the Dallas Cowboys is it's like you're a parent. You know,

358
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 6: your wife says to the kid, you're going to bed, Uh,

359
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 6: you're not playing video games, and then it comes to

360
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: you and you say, come on, you can go play

361
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 6: for now. That that that that's how the Cowboys are.

362
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 4: All right and all right. I mean that's hard to

363
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: say because I I don't I mean, you can go

364
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: off perceptions on what you think, but I think this.

365
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: I can't. I can't sit here and say that they're

366
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: not hungry to win.

367
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 6: I think Jerry's I'm not saying they're not hungry, but

368
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 6: they're not as hungry as somebody else. They're not as

369
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: hungry as as as Jerry was when he bought the team.

370
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that aren't as fill in

371
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: the blank as Jerry in a lot.

372
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 6: Of but but but let's face it, Jerry should have

373
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 6: fired himself from GM twenty years ago. And he probably

374
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 6: would have if if we were talking about the pizza

375
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 6: places he owned or something else. But let's face it,

376
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 6: he wants this is his fun, this is his excitement,

377
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 6: this is his radio show, this is his I get

378
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 6: on the microphone. Jerry would rather be a GM that

379
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 6: doesn't win a Super Bowl than an owner who just

380
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 6: sits up in the box and wins. If they said

381
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 6: to Jerry, you got to sit in that box. You

382
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 6: can't do no more TV, I get it again with

383
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl, right, say.

384
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: No, that's fine, and we got to move to another callers.

385
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 4: But I will say this, though there's not a GM

386
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 4: in the world going to get fired off of this

387
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 4: last season, right, You're not going to do that. You're

388
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: not going to fire the GM. So all this, I

389
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 4: think a lot of times people like to blame Jerry

390
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 4: just because he's the common denominator for twenty eight years

391
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 4: and all that stuff, But then say that, you know

392
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 4: this team had all this talent. Well, I mean, he's

393
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: he's the GM. He's put there's a lot of I mean,

394
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 4: a lot of records were broken. A lot of Pro

395
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: Bowlers know that didn't lead to success in the playoffs,

396
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 4: and I get that, but I don't think it was

397
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 4: a GM problem right now. So there's a lot of issues,

398
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff going on, but it's it's I

399
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 4: think that sometimes there's a moving target on what people

400
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: are complaining about. Uh, this is a good football team,

401
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 4: but they got to figure out how to make it

402
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 4: great because when they play against other really good teams,

403
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 4: it didn't stack up as well. We all know that,

404
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 4: we all see that. But I don't think this is

405
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 4: this is a matter of being hungry or not hungry

406
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: enough and whatever you like being relevant. I don't. I

407
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: don't believe in that. I don't They've built a really

408
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 4: good team but they still got all ways to go

409
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: to be playing football in February and we haven't seen that.

410
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Kadga in Russia. Is that right?

411
00:20:59,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

412
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 7: From Russia. I'm doing fine and I'm so happy that

413
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 7: you're taking my call. Thank you. It's my first time

414
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 7: when I'm calling. And yeah, I wanted to express some

415
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 7: emotions about how it is to be a fan from

416
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 7: from Russia. It's not easy and it's not that easy

417
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 7: because mostly games are playing at night when it's night

418
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 7: here and after midnight, and usually I have to go

419
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 7: to work after that, so because of time difference.

420
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 4: How how did you become a cowboy fan? And and

421
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: like have you always lived there?

422
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 7: I'm always lived in Russia. And I became a fan

423
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 7: because of my boyfriend. I'm in a distant relationship and

424
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 7: my boyfriend from Texas and he was busy each Sunday

425
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 7: and was curious what he's doing and I decided to

426
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 7: watch football.

427
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 4: Wow. Now that now that's a long distance relationship. Okay,

428
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 4: Like I mean Texas to Russia. Yeah, that's that qualifies

429
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 4: as long distance. Well, so what do you think of

430
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: the team, What's what's going on? What are your thoughts there.

431
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 7: I think a Cowboys playing better than previous seasons. Anyway,

432
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 7: even if you don't look at this that layoff game,

433
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 7: everything else was really better and they improved so many things.

434
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 7: And even when they said they're going to work on

435
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 7: penalties to reduce amount of penalties, and they really did.

436
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 7: This was in the game with fashion gun, So I

437
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 7: see they can then be able to improve everything. I

438
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 7: just shouted that what happened on or playoff game.

439
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 4: So yeah, well it's hard. You're right, it's hard to

440
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: take away the playoff game because that's the last one,

441
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: that's the one we remember. But I get your point.

442
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's a it was a good season,

443
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 4: but it's kind of what have you done for me lately?

444
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 4: And lately that we saw? We saw that the loss,

445
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 4: But what else you had any other thoughts about the team.

446
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 7: I really believe in Cowboys. I know they can play

447
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: better and I expect that something's impressive will happen next season.

448
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 7: So I'm just the staying positive an optimistic.

449
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 4: Oh great, favorite player. Who's your favorite player? City lamb

450
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 4: ceey lamb Okay, Well, he's.

Speaker 7: Certainly especially especially I like his due with dark because

452
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 7: they're playing together, so good. I like to see that

453
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 7: connection between Dack.

454
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,600

00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 4: say it all the time. Appreciate anybody overseas and the

461
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: dedication it takes to be a Cowboy fan. It's hard

462
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 4: enough being in Texas, but I can't imagine being in

463
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 4: Russia and the time difference and all that. But we

464
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: definitely appreciate it.

465
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.

466
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 4: Have a nice thing or evening midnight, I don't know

467
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 4: what time it is there. That's pretty awesome. Uh Katya

468
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 4: from Russia with the call, and it's interesting, you know,

469
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 4: she says, it's like it's like she just wants to

470
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: put the playoff game out. You know, it's like Dak

471
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 4: and Cdie they have such a great connection, well except

472
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 4: for the playoff game where they didn't, and they had

473
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 4: such a great season except for the playoff game when

474
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 4: they when they didn't. But anyways, it was it was

475
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: a nice call. Let me get got a couple of

476
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 4: texts questions that I've been up here. I need to read.

477
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: Kevin from Virginia. I've read a couple of articles saying

478
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 4: Zach Martin contemplating retirement. Have you heard anything from that

479
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 4: inside the Star? Also, when are you allowed to talk

480
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 4: about other teams pending free agents after the Super Bowl?

481
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 4: New League year. I'd like to ask questions about free agency,

482
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: but really respectful towards the process. They'll get you in trouble.

483
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: Thank you appreciate that, Kevin from Virginia. It's always a

484
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 4: little interesting to talk about free agents because you know,

485
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: I think when it gets a couple of weeks, three

486
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: weeks or so closer you get into March, get into

487
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: late February, when you get an idea that you know

488
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: teams are going to be you know, players are going

489
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 4: to be free agents. Some of the guys you have

490
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: all the way up until mid March to be resigned

491
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: with your team, so you're still technically with the team,

492
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: but you kind of get an idea who's on the list,

493
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 4: at least who's on the list for unrestricted free agents.

494
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: And that's the way I view it. I mean, you're

495
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 4: on the list, until you're not, uh, you know, you

496
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 4: can't go sign these guys, but you know you're you're

497
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: you're a pending free agent. And I think that's I

498
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 4: don't think that. I think we can sit and talk

499
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: about that kind of stuff and you know, just no

500
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 4: knowing that you know, anything can happen when you get

501
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: up until till the middle of March. So as for

502
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 4: Zach Martin, I have not heard that. I know he's

503
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 4: not playing in the in the Pro Bowl. He opted

504
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: out of that. I think I think his wife's expecting

505
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: their respecting another child, so that that's one of the reasons.

506
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: And also I think he knew that that Tyler Smith

507
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: was the next alternate, so by him not going to

508
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 4: the Pro Bowl, Tyler Smith gets to do that. And

509
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 4: so but I don't think, no, I don't think he's

510
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 4: contemplating retirement. I I I think he was thinking about

511
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: his future. And I think if he would have done

512
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 4: if he really was thinking that way, I don't think

513
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 4: he would have done that back in training camp, you know,

514
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 4: holding out like he did and you know, wanting a

515
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 4: little bit more money. I don't think you had done

516
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 4: that if it was just one year away from from

517
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 4: calling to quits unless something happened this year. But I

518
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 4: just don't I haven't heard that and get the sense

519
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 4: of that. He was talking after the game about what

520
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 4: they need to do to get better next season and stuff,

521
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 4: So I don't believe that that is the case. There.

522
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Trey in Virginia.

523
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 5: I can hear you, Nick, can you hear me?

524
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: Yeah? Man? What's up?

525
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 5: Oh man, I'm I'm hyped to be online with you

526
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: right now.

527
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 4: First time, first time calling Chris there, let's go.

528
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 5: Let's go, all right, real quick. I just wanted to say,

529
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 5: first off, like a lot of people say thank you,

530
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 5: thank Derek and everybody, because I've been following y'all for

531
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 5: over twenty years now.

532
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm thirty four.

533
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 5: I'm one of those young guys.

534
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: Yeah you sound eighteen like I wouldn't. I wouldn't have

535
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: thought twenty yeah.

536
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, like my first memory super Bowl thirty

537
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 5: Larry Brown two interceptions, twenty seven to seventeen. That's my

538
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 5: first memory.

539
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: You were six.

540
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 5: You're exactly fresh, sick, That's yeah, that's the way to

541
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: do it.

542
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: Who would have thought that? You wouldn't have wouldn't have

543
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: had another one?

544
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 5: A exact not yet yet, but you know, just just

545
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 5: giving the good vibes out for everybody. I'm also a

546
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 5: University of Virginia fan. Anybody that knows anything about college

547
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 5: athletics know that I'm a spurned person in a lot

548
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 5: of ways. But then that one time happened in twenty

549
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 5: nineteen after we got embarrassed by UNBC the previous year.

550
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 4: So are you saying, are you saying Purdue is gonna

551
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 4: win it all in basketball this year?

552
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 5: Hey, if it does happen, then I'm damn sure putting

553
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 5: some money on the Cowboys next year.

554
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 4: And if you don't know what we're referring to, Virginia,

555
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 4: the number one seed or a number one seed in

556
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 4: the tournament in twenty nineteen lost.

557
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: To twenty eighteen, and we lost twenty eighteen.

558
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 4: First team to ever lose to a number sixteen seed. Embarrassing,

559
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 4: so embarrassing for a year that they came back the

560
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: next year and won the whole tournament. And then Purdue,

561
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 4: a number one seed last season, lost to a number

562
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 4: sixteen and uh and they're number one or maybe number

563
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: one in the country. They're really good this year. So

564
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: exact point is as embarrassing as it might be to

565
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: bowl out in the tournament or the playoffs. If you

566
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: if you're built the right way, you can you can

567
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 4: turn it around. We'll see if We'll see if they

568
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 4: do that.

569
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 5: But exactly see, you knew where I was going.

570
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: Well to catch yeah, I knew.

571
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta be cavalier in the way that you

572
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: respond to adversity.

573
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 5: Exactly we go.

574
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 4: Exactly. You gotta have the right guy. Didn't they have

575
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: a guy named Guy?

576
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: No?

577
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, if he did, Kyle Guy, you gotta have the

578
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: right guy to to lead him. All right, I'm done.

579
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 4: I'm done with the bad jobs. Sorry, I've never done,

580
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: but I've done it for now.

581
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 5: All right, two quick things, but yeah, on top of that,

582
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 5: just thinking you guys, because like I said, over the

583
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: last twenty plus years of watching The Doctor and everybody

584
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: like y'all have been like the extra friends. I never

585
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 5: knew idea because you got me through all the good

586
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 5: and all the bad. And that's beyond the playing field.

587
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: That's just personal struggle that divorced everything. And now it's

588
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 5: all good because I've got a wonderful fiance now, so

589
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 5: you know, second time to charm area. But yeah, so

590
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 5: it's just through all the good and bad, no matter

591
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: how bad things may seem, how bad it hurts as

592
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 5: a sportsman, because trust me, we all know it, there's

593
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 5: always la at the end.

594
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: Of the day.

595
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 5: And I just I appreciate all you guys because your

596
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 5: content is just it's it's amazing. I wish I could

597
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 5: have seen you guys an Oxnard this past JLAX. I

598
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 5: did go to the first Saturday Can't Win. You know,

599
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 5: it was the infamous Mojo moment where everybody was missing

600
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 5: field goals. So I was so who knew we were

601
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 5: going to a.

602
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 4: Did you think you were seeing an all pro kicker

603
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: that day? And when they were missing field goals.

604
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 5: I thought he had an all pro leg because he

605
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 5: was definitely booming from distance. It was just going to

606
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: the left of the right.

607
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm done with two things. I've decided I'm done

608
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: with this year. I'm never gonna do again. Number One,

609
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: I'm never gonna root for a certain team the Cowboys

610
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 4: should play in the playoffs, never doing that again because

611
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 4: you just don't know. Number Two, I'm never judging any

612
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 4: kicks in Oxnard, California again, not judging a kicker by

613
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: what I see or don't see in Oxnard's I'm not

614
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 4: saying it's like this wind tunnel, but it just doesn't.

615
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 4: The kicks don't. It's just weird. It's weird the way

616
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: they kick there. It's weird the way the wind does.

617
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 4: Kind of, it's across win just as long as is

618
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: they're decent. Just get to the games. We'll see what happens.

619
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: Dan Bailey wasn't very good, if I remember, actually Dan

620
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 4: Bailey was in Santonio his rookie year, but I know

621
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: he'd come back after that and he wasn't that good

622
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 4: coming off a Pro Bowl year, and then everything was

623
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: fine us Oxnard. It's great in many ways, but judging

624
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 4: kickers is not one.

625
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 5: Of them, exactly exactly. If then, last up, I'll just

626
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 5: make it quick. I had sent you the text last

627
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 5: week about what you went between like a center and

628
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 5: a linebacker, so I wanted to follow that up with

629
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 5: and I'll let you go when it comes to a linebacker,

630
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 5: what type of traits would you love to see in them?

631
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: And I'll say for me to answer, because I know

632
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 5: you like to throw it back. I would love to

633
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 5: see a ray Lewis Morey. In more recent terms, that's

634
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 5: what I want to type of.

635
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll take a Ray Lewis. Thank you. Yeah,

636
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 4: I'll take that guy. You know, I know what you're saying.

637
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: And he was picked six or so.

638
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, he was a late first rounder.

639
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

640
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 5: And then also for the center, I would I wish

641
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 5: we could find the next Fredbeard, Travis Frederick. That would

642
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 5: make my heart, you know, complete, if we could find

643
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 5: the next But you know they're not a diamond dozen.

644
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 5: So I'll hang up and I'll listen to your thoughts.

645
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 5: Thank you for your call, Thank you for your time,

646
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 5: and I plan on being on more often.

647
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 4: All right, that sounds good. Good call, Good job, Trey.

648
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: Uh you know, center, you know, I'm just I'm going

649
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 4: to the woods. I'm finding this lumberjack that's got some

650
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 4: football abilding and uh, you know, he's got some quickness

651
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 4: to him, strong as an ox. That's what that's guy

652
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 4: I want. And I'm obviously joking, but but you just

653
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 4: need that tough, bouncer type type guy. And uh, I

654
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 4: think they they missed that a little bit. No linebacker.

655
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 4: This is where it'll be interesting to see Dan Quinn

656
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: if he does come back as the defensive coordinator. That

657
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 4: I think there needs to be a little bit of

658
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: a philosophical change. I'm looking more of a run hit

659
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 4: type linebacker that that fills the gap more than than Okay,

660
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 4: so maybe his forty times wasn't the best. I'll never

661
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 4: forget when I was younger and I was really really

662
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 4: into football, and I had a VHS tape and I

663
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: might have told this story about It was called Crunch Course.

664
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 4: It was about the biggest hits. It was a forty

665
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: five minute NFL Films tape on hitting and tough guys

666
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 4: and things like that. And a guy had a quote

667
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 4: about Dick Buckis and he said, if you asked him

668
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 4: to run the forty, he would take him three days.

669
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 4: But sidelined the sideline, he was faster than anybody on

670
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 4: the field. He could go and chase the football. That,

671
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 4: to me is what a linebacker really is in sweatpants

672
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: or spandex in Indianapolis running the forty and he's runs

673
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: a four to seven five and everyone's like, oh, not

674
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: very good. Okay, put him on the field. Let him

675
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 4: go get the football and see what happens. And I

676
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 4: think sometimes I think from a linebacker position, especially with

677
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 4: this team, there needs to be a little bit more

678
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 4: focus on running into the hole, into the gap, filling

679
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: that and making the play, making the hit and taking

680
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 4: on a guard eight yards down the field and getting

681
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: rid of him and going to making the play. That's

682
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 4: something I think the Cowboys miss a little bit from

683
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 4: the bazosition, and I thought they were they were getting

684
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 4: that with Dimon Clark and maybe he can develop into that.

685
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: But there's there's some you know, there's some things that

686
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 4: this team needs to get better at linebacker, and that's

687
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 4: the kind of linebacker I'm looking at all right. Kyle

688
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 4: from East Brunswick, New Jersey. He says, if this is

689
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 4: the year to go all in and they're bringing everyone back,

690
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 4: would you rather sign the top defensive tackle or linebacker

691
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 4: in free agency?

692
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 9: Mmmm?

693
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 4: Well, the top it's a different question because I think

694
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 4: the top defensive tackles are like all pros. You know,

695
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 4: there's some of those guys out there. I don't know

696
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 4: if there's top linebackers that are that are that way.

697
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 4: So it's probably gonna make more sense if they if

698
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 4: they get the top linebacker, because I think I think

699
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 4: from what the cost is. But either way, if they

700
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 4: have an ability to stop the run, that's the guy

701
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 4: that I'm I'm looking for. All right, let's go to

702
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 4: Matt in Los Angeles.

703
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 10: What's up. It's my second time calling in. I was

704
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 10: the one last week talking about packing the sports psychologists. Okay,

705
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 10: And that's not a knock on him, by the way

706
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 10: at all. I wasn't trying to No.

707
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 4: I didn't think so. I mean, yeah, I know, I

708
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 4: didn't think so.

709
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 10: I just felt like in that Packer game, you didn't

710
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 10: see those mistakes all season long. You know that the mistakes?

711
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 10: Who was making that Packer game? But anyways, in regards

712
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 10: to the draft class, I hate the grief they're getting.

713
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 10: I think it's more of a credit to the way

714
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 10: they've drafted in the recent in the in.

715
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 4: The That's that's part of it, you know what I mean?

716
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 4: They have two things. Are you saying, are they because

717
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: they're getting compared to better classes or because those classes

718
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 4: are those players are still here and it's hard to

719
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 4: get onto the field.

720
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 10: I was talking about hard to get on the field,

721
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 10: but you but your first point is just more solidifies

722
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 10: what I'm.

723
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 8: Trying to gay.

724
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 10: I do I am, I I am upset. I mean

725
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 10: that they totally whiffed on Kelvin, Joseph and Nashawn Right.

726
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 10: I mean it's but then it's like, okay, well they

727
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 10: struck goal with Bland, I get it. Yeah, but like

728
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 10: they couldn't like you know, Cheeto and Jordan Lewis like

729
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 10: just give me that, you know what I mean? If

730
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 10: they could have got that type of play out of

731
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 10: calvit at Nashon, then we won't be playing zone coverage

732
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 10: against the Packers the entire game because did they even

733
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 10: trust right to go in there for Gilmour and place

734
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 10: some man you know?

735
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: You know.

736
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 4: But let me say this about Nashon Wright. Na Shaan

737
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 4: Wright was is a product of what Dan Quinn's prototype corner.

738
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 4: He wants that big, long cornerback that that can that

739
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 4: can run and turn his hips and things like that.

740
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 4: And Nasehaan Wright showed the traits of that. He didn't

741
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 4: show He didn't have a lot of tape of him

742
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 4: doing that. I think this was more of a kind

743
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 4: of a project and maybe develop him, and he just

744
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 4: hasn't developed to that level. You know, he's got he

745
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 4: looks the part. You know, if he was, if he

746
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 4: could do all the things you would want at a

747
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 4: corner and then yeah, but you know, there's a reason

748
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 4: why there's not many six four corners. I mean, there's

749
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 4: just hard to do that. I mean, there's a there's

750
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 4: it's hard to keep up with Tyreek still even if

751
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 4: you look like him much less if you're six four

752
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 4: and Lankey and stuff like that. So it's tough.

753
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 10: But uh, scoot, like Mozzie and Scoomaker, those are positions

754
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 10: that are to typically take a good take a good

755
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 10: season like quddit. Williams was not dominant his rookie year,

756
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 10: you know, and I think I think they're getting what

757
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 10: they what they expected out of those positions. What does

758
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 10: confuse me about Mazzi is they drafted him to be

759
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 10: a trash can full of dirt and then they made

760
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 10: him drop like at the size of a three tech.

761
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 10: You know, if you heard any whispers around the water

762
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 10: cooler as to why they were doing that, No.

763
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 4: No, I have not, and I that that hasn't come up.

764
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 4: It probably it probably should, but I have not. I've

765
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 4: not heard exactly what went into that, And I'm not

766
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 4: one hundred percent sure that the Cowboys were like signing

767
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 4: off on this, you know, like a completely like let's

768
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 4: lose all this weight. So I really don't know. I

769
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 4: don't know we we should. I'm sure those will be

770
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 4: questions that will be asked. I do know this. I

771
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 4: talked to Lounda Wells today, actually tight ends coach, and

772
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 4: he said he, you know, I talked to him about

773
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 4: Ferguson going to the Pro Bowl. And it's a big

774
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: deal for you know, a position coach to get a

775
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 4: guy in the Pro Bowl. And you know, it doesn't

776
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 4: matter if you're an alternate or not or whatever. He's in.

777
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 4: He's in the Pro Bowl and he always will be

778
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 4: a Pro Bowler. But he was talking about he also said,

779
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 4: don't don't forget about Schoolmaker. He said, this guy got

780
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 4: hurt at the worst time, you know, with right before

781
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 4: in the offseason, before camp, and Ferguson blew up, he

782
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 4: really did. But he said, this guy is going to

783
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 4: be a really really good player for.

784
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 10: Us, and and I expect him to take a huge

785
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 10: second year and and you know.

786
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: Who else it took a huge second year leap, right

787
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 4: So I I think they I think they'll they'll be

788
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 4: just fine. I really do. I think Ferguson will be

789
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 4: the guy, and I think Schoonmaker will be somebody that

790
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 4: that will you be a good blocker, that will also

791
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 4: you know, be able to make some place. He's got

792
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 4: to he's got to be a little bit more sure handed,

793
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 4: maybe a little less stuff, but he'll be He'll be fine.

794
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 10: It's gonna do much of that in college, so it's still.

795
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 8: Somewhat new to him, right.

796
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 10: So, I think a full year working.

797
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 5: With Dak.

798
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 10: And then Overstown had all the signs of being a star.

799
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 10: You can't you can't fault them for that guy getting

800
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 10: injured and then Boco. I think he's gonna be a

801
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 10: great power dn that we need to stop the run.

802
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 10: But that was just another I think depth pick because

803
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 10: how well they drafted in the last few years, you know,

804
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 10: and then you're anything beyond fourth round if you're you're hoping,

805
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 10: but you're not expecting to get like a lot of

806
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 10: you know, that's just my personal take.

807
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 8: You know, you're hoping to get production.

808
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 10: Out of them, but you're not necessarily banking on it

809
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 10: or budgeting that. I don't know, man Mozzi, just the vibes.

810
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 10: I saw Malie Collins get five and a half sacks

811
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 10: as a three technique as a rookie, and then they

812
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 10: started messing with them at one technique and this and that,

813
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 10: and I'm like, no, like, let Mozzi do what he does.

814
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 10: Let him terrorize that interior and help our linebackers run.

815
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 4: You know, well, we'll see. It's big off season for

816
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 4: both of them, both the schoolmaker and Mazzi, and over

817
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 4: shown that for that matter, overshown So far, so good

818
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 4: on the rehab looks pretty good. If this is January,

819
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: I got I gotta. I saw a little bit of him,

820
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 4: and you know, for where he is here in January,

821
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 4: I think I think it'd be it seems like he

822
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 4: would be in good shape to to do some of

823
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 4: the off season stuff in the course training camp. All right, Matt,

824
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 4: thanks for the call. Good stuff. All right, how about

825
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 4: I'm trying to who's this text message from here? This

826
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 4: is oh Anthony, Anthony in Miami. Actually Anthony Miami was

827
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 4: our first caller. I had a little bit of difficulties

828
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 4: technically at first, and so he couldn't hang on with us.

829
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 4: But uh, he said he'll be there. He said, I'm

830
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 4: still the number one caller. He said, still be the

831
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 4: number one caller. Have a great show. Sorry, Anthony, appreciate that.

832
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. It didn't work out, but always always a

833
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 4: good caller for sure. How about Chris and San Angelo, Texas? Hello,

834
00:42:59,000 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 4: good Chris? How are you?

835
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 9: I'm doing well? First off, I'll say the listening to

836
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 9: the caller from Russia, that was the lotful. I loved that.

837
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 11: That was awesome.

838
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was amazing. I mean es rest

839
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 4: of the story. You know, she's like, what are you doing?

840
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 4: You never call me between twelve and three on Sunday?

841
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 4: What's going on here?

842
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 9: Exactly?

843
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 4: Who are these cowboys? Yeah?

844
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 9: I know I was like, wow, I don't know if

845
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 9: I can follow that.

846
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 4: But anyway, yeah, yeah, hard hard to follow that for sure.

847
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: But what.

848
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 4: Do you think San Angelo, Texas is like Russia? Because

849
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 4: I think there would be different.

850
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 9: Goodness with yeah, polar opposites. It's like, yeah, but they

851
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 9: didn't They.

852
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 4: Didn't film Rocky for in San Angelo? Is that what

853
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 4: you're telling me?

854
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 9: There was no there was no drag out.

855
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 4: They actually didn't film it in Russia either. I think

856
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 4: it was in it was in Montana. But whatever, right,

857
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 4: you know, little thing Christmas?

858
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 9: Okay, Look, I just had a id a couple of questions.

859
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 9: First off, as far as the the draft goes, where

860
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 9: are you as far as let's just say round one

861
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 9: round to who you picking round one and round two

862
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 9: position wise? Not people. I don't expect you to know that.

863
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, well then okay, oh no, no.

864
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 9: My other one was as far as our free agents are,

865
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 9: I was gonna keep it kind of the same. Which two,

866
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 9: If you could only keep two, who are you keeping?

867
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 4: And then that's basically okay, that's from an unrestricted standpoint,

868
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 4: exactly exactly re signing it's a good one. Okay, Well,

869
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 4: well who are your two?

870
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 9: My two are I'm thinking, oh gosh, you had to

871
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 9: ask me that, Okay, the guy I'm thinking Hankin's and

872
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 9: the defensive end.

873
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 4: Like Fowler or uh Dorn's arm from Armstrong.

874
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 9: Sorry, thank you for I had those two in mind,

875
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 9: but I wasn't ready to answer that.

876
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 4: That's okay, thank you for the call.

877
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 9: I like Hans, I'm fine with that.

878
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 4: I think that would be good. Thanks.

879
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 8: You know.

880
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 4: I would like to see I mean, I would like

881
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 4: to see Diggs Gilmore in Bland as my three corners.

882
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 4: So Gilmore, you know, I throw him in there. Jordan Lewis,

883
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 4: you can you know, you could, you could put him in,

884
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 4: but I think Hankins and Gilmore would be two. Now

885
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 4: they're about the same as far as older guys, veteran guys,

886
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 4: but you know, it was it was unfortunate what happened

887
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 4: to Gilmore, the injury, and uh, you know, I think

888
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 4: it did affect the team because he was one of

889
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 4: the guys. Is ironic because he was one of the guys.

890
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 4: He's been there, He's won Super Bowls, he's won Defensive

891
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 4: Player of the Years. You know, he's he's played in

892
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: bigger games than that, and so you you wish you

893
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 4: could have got one hundred percent, you know him health wise,

894
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 4: and you know Diggs as well, and then now you've

895
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 4: got Bland and so I I that would be that

896
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 4: would be something that would be intriguing for me. It

897
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 4: might cost a little bit because you know, he's he

898
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 4: had a good year, but you know, with Brandon Cooks,

899
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: if he comes back and he should be, he's under contract,

900
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 4: so that that would be you know, that's they're good friends.

901
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: I'd like to see Gilmour and Hankins would be my

902
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 4: two and in that and that for that question, all right,

903
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 4: and then also for the for the rounds. You know,

904
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 4: when you're picking at that you know, you, I'm looking

905
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 4: at a player that can contribute right away. That's that's

906
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 4: what I'm thinking. So give me a guy that that

907
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 4: can help me tomorrow. And whoever that is, maybe that

908
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 4: it's going to be. You know, maybe that would be

909
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 4: a center, and I would be fine with that.

910
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 8: Now.

911
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 4: I will say this though, don't don't forget. Free agency

912
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 4: starts in mid March. The draft is late April, so

913
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 4: they're going to have some kind of fix at center.

914
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 4: They'll they'll they'll sign someone. It doesn't mean that you're

915
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 4: not going to draft a guy in the first round.

916
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: But I don't think they'll be going into the draft

917
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 4: going our starting center is going to be in here.

918
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 4: That's too dangerous to do that. So they'll they'll have

919
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 4: something there. But but you know, your first round, if

920
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 4: you can, if you can get a plug and play

921
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 4: linebacker or center or even left tackle, if that's the

922
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 4: route that you want to go, and if if it

923
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 4: works out, and if there was a guy there, running

924
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 4: back would work for me. But I don't know if

925
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 4: it will be. I don't know if that if this

926
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 4: is the year for running back there, but who knows,

927
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 4: a lot of there's a lot of forty times to

928
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 4: be run, a lot of pro day's, a lot of

929
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 4: interviews combine. There's there's guys that people are projecting in

930
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 4: these early mocks in the third round and next thing,

931
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 4: you know, they could be sitting there in the middle,

932
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 4: you know. I mean the guy like jam Jamier Gibbs.

933
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 4: You know he went twelfth overall. I mean he kind

934
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 4: of kind of shot up the boards a little bit.

935
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 4: So who knows what will happen there? All right? I

936
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 4: think the phone lines are open, is that right, Chris? Correct?

937
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 4: All right? Phone lines are open. We got a little

938
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 4: bit more to go. Maybe we'll go maybe five ten

939
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 4: more minutes or so. So if you want to call

940
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 4: in quickly, this is the time. If you say I

941
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 4: never can get in, you can get in right now.

942
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 4: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.

943
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 4: I know there was a question up here that I

944
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 4: did not read. Maybe maybe not all right, but you know,

945
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 4: going back at one of the questions about about the

946
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: about the Lions game, and you know, just it's easy

947
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 4: to sit in and do that. You know, we talk

948
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 4: about Dan Campbell should have done this, should have done that.

949
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll say this though about about what he's

950
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 4: done for that team is he's brought a mentality and

951
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 4: this is not easy to do when you're the when

952
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 4: you're the coach of the Lions who have never won.

953
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 4: And and so to change the culture, change the attitude

954
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 4: in the belief of hey, we can go win. I

955
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 4: mean that that's impressive. Yeah, and I said I thought

956
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 4: they were a little too aggressive. I thought he was

957
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 4: and the decision making, but that mindset is not easy

958
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 4: to just turn on and off. It isn't. And so

959
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 4: not trying to be hypocritical, but I'm saying, you gotta

960
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 4: be you gotta be fair. You can't just sit here

961
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 4: and say, well and I did it. You know, you

962
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 4: can't do it all the time. But that's who he is,

963
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 4: That's who Dan Campbell is, That's who the Lions are now,

964
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 4: and that's the belief and that's kind of what got

965
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 4: him there. So it's fair to criticize that moment. And

966
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 4: maybe it's a learning thing for him and for all coaches,

967
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 4: you know, and McCarthy did it a couple of times too.

968
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 4: It's a belief in your team. We we yeah we

969
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 4: can run the ball and have to kick a field

970
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 4: goal and all that. But if I just if Dak

971
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 4: just hits CD right here, game's over, because I've seen

972
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 4: him do it a million times. So it's a belief

973
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 4: in your players and your team, and sometimes it can

974
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: bite you, but it's it's kind of who you are.

975
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 4: So on one hand, I thought it hurt the team,

976
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 4: but you understand it because that's that's who he is.

977
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 4: All right, Let's go to Joe in Pennsylvania on the line, Joe,

978
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 4: what's up.

979
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 5: Hey, Nick?

980
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 3: Want to run something by us?

981
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: Sir?

982
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 9: What you thought?

983
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 11: When I look at how teams are built and where

984
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 11: they gain advantages, it's obviously not in salary cap or

985
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 11: practice time because those are set for all the teams.

986
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 11: So then you have to look to coaching. And I

987
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 11: think when you look, you know, objectively, at Cowboys coaches,

988
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 11: you got McCarthy who won a Super Bowl, where you

989
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 11: got Quinn who's been to a Super Bowl as a

990
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 11: head coach, I think you'd say, overall, we've got good coaching.

991
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 11: Then you have to look at talent, talent acquisition. I

992
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 11: think Jerry steven and Will have done a good job

993
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 11: bringing in talent. And you know, even though he may

994
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 11: say our talent may be slightly overrated, just because we're

995
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 11: on TV a lot and everything. I still think we've

996
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 11: had good teams over the years, so I don't think

997
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 11: that's an issue. And so what it falls to to

998
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 11: me is what the players do on their own, because

999
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 11: that is the great unknown, Like we have no idea

1000
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 11: how much film study they do on their own after

1001
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 11: practice they get together with the other players and who's

1002
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 11: holding them accountable to that? And to me, I think

1003
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 11: that's kind of where Jerry comes back into play. And

1004
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 11: it's not the talent acquisition part, because I think he

1005
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 11: does well there, but I think by kind of not

1006
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 11: giving the head coach more ability to discipline players, I

1007
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 11: think that's where we're lacking because rarely do you see

1008
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 11: any of our players get benched. You don't see Sam

1009
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 11: Williams get benched off the punt return on team, so

1010
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 11: you don't. And somebody recently said a story about Felix

1011
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 11: Jones back when he fumbled and many times in Garrett

1012
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 11: said there was going to be consequences, and then they

1013
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 11: asked Jerry about it and he said, no, he's going

1014
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 11: to be starting. So it's like when you have that

1015
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 11: where your coach can't discipline when he sees problems on

1016
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 11: the team. I think that's where, like you know, you

1017
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 11: look at certain players like Sean Lee and he obviously

1018
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 11: did all the film study on his own, and you

1019
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 11: could see that show up on the field today's team.

1020
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 11: I see that with DeMarcus Lawrence. I can see him

1021
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 11: doing that, But other players I don't see that showing up.

1022
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 11: And obviously, you know, we have no way of knowing

1023
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 11: how much they're studying on the side, But it seems

1024
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 11: like that to me is where we're lacking the most.

1025
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 11: And I don't know how you quantify that or how

1026
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 11: you make that better other than giving the head coach

1027
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 11: who sees, you know, see everything more ability to discipline

1028
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 11: the players and and hold them accountable.

1029
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that I mean, that's that's kind of going

1030
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 4: down a line that it is hard to quantify. Like

1031
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 4: you said, but I'm not going to tell you that

1032
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 4: you're wrong because I wouldn't know. And you're right, you're

1033
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 4: trying trying to put your finger on something, and that's,

1034
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 4: you know, and that's I actually appreciate that because it

1035
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 4: doesn't look like you know, it's it's just coaching and

1036
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 4: the players that you know good enough all that, Like

1037
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 4: what else is there, and so maybe that could be

1038
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 4: the case. It really, it really could be. I I

1039
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 4: I don't have a great answer for you. I I like,

1040
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 4: like I said, I like, I like where where you're

1041
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 4: going with that? And uh, and we don't know, we

1042
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 4: don't know who's studying what here and there. But you know,

1043
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 4: Sean Lee. It's a good example, but it's also a

1044
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 4: bad example because there's not many like Shawn Lee. Because

1045
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 4: Sean Lee, I'll tell you a story about him. I

1046
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 4: tried to do an interview with him about something right

1047
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 4: before his first game. It was on the train going

1048
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 4: to San Diego, and he wanted no part of it

1049
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 4: because it was a preseason game. He was focused, he

1050
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 4: had his book out, he was studying, he was all

1051
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 4: about this, these twelve snaps that he's going to play

1052
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 4: in this preseason game. It's all about business. He was

1053
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 4: that way from the start, and I'm telling you that's

1054
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 4: It's not like he got that later on in his

1055
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 4: career when he realized, man, I got to be more

1056
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 4: of a studier. He was that way coming in. So

1057
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 4: that's a good example. But at the same time, there

1058
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 4: is not many likes Sean Lee. So you would have

1059
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 4: hoped that some of these younger players kind of would have,

1060
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 4: you know, developed those skills a little bit more. But

1061
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if they are honestly all right, Oh sorry,

1062
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 4: still there. What's up, Joe? Joe? I cut them off?

1063
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 4: Cut him off? Okay, sorry Joe. It was a good

1064
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 4: It was really good thought it really it really is.

1065
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 4: Those are those things, you know. I always get a

1066
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 4: little let's get a lancy when we talk about we

1067
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 4: need more leadership, or you need more heart, you need

1068
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 4: more character anymore. It's hard because it's like, what's the

1069
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,720
Speaker 4: level you know, you don't know that, you know, people

1070
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 4: people think Mari Cooper doesn't care about football, because it's not.

1071
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 4: He's not Odell Beckham and CD and whoever else, you know,

1072
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 4: jumping around after plays and doing all that. He's just

1073
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 4: he's not. Doesn't mean he doesn't love football. So it's

1074
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 4: hard to kind of talk about what kind of person

1075
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 4: they are. You know, I just watched a football life

1076
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 4: on Barry Sanders. He never did that at all. It's

1077
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 4: a pretty good, pretty good player. But anyways, all right,

1078
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 4: let's go to Eric in North Carolina, probably our last

1079
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 4: call for the day. Eric or North Carolina.

1080
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:43,959
Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how are you doing today?

1081
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 9: Good?

1082
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 4: How are you?

1083
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. Since it's the off season, I thought

1084
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 3: we could talk about Cowboys memorabilia. And I know this

1085
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 3: show is almost over, but I'd love to hear the

1086
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 3: usual callers maybe call it next time and tell us, like, well,

1087
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 3: like what kind of cool stuff that they have?

1088
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 4: What do you have?

1089
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 3: But I've got three things that that I'm really thrilled about.

1090
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 3: I have a personalized autograph football from Roger Staubach.

1091
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 8: Wow.

1092
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 3: And and I have a I have a letter from

1093
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 3: Tom Landry.

1094
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: That that.

1095
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 3: I wad him a letter in the eighties when the

1096
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: Cowboys were having a particularly poor season, and and I

1097
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 3: told him, and I told him that he was a

1098
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 3: outstanding coach, a fine Christian gentleman in a World War

1099
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 3: Two hero. And he wrote me back and it told

1100
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 3: and he told me that he really that I really

1101
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 3: bolstered his morale was his exact words.

1102
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 4: How old were you when you sent this?

1103
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 3: I was in high school.

1104
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 4: Wow, Good for you. I think that's pretty awesome.

1105
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1106
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always looked up to him. He was he

1107
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:05,439
Speaker 3: was so consistent and and I always I always read

1108
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 3: about the players that retired, how much they admired him,

1109
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 3: and he was such a father figure and meant so

1110
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 3: much to him, you know, uh, you know, meant so

1111
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 3: much to them, but they didn't really say it like

1112
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 3: during the play in days like afterwards, you know, when

1113
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 3: they had time to reflect. But but I always thought

1114
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 3: he was an out outstanding an outstanding man. And I

1115
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 3: know he he saved his bomber crew. I know he

1116
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 3: was a co pilot and a B seventeen liberator and

1117
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 3: and I know that he saved his crew one time

1118
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 3: from just from I remember reading in a book that

1119
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 3: that that the pilot had ordered the crew to bail out,

1120
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 3: and basically Tom said, let me do one more thing,

1121
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 3: and he changed the mixture, the fuel oil mixture, and

1122
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 3: that saved him from from having to bail out over Germany.

1123
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 3: So anyway, and the last thing I have is, uh

1124
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 3: is a autographed Dallas Cowboy Weekly from Ken Norton Junior

1125
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 3: one time when he came to Charlotte.

1126
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 4: Okay, well, uh yeah, that's pretty that's pretty awesome. I

1127
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 4: don't think anybody really wants to uh call in and

1128
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 4: talk with you about these things, because I don't know

1129
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 4: if they're going to have a letter from Tom Landry

1130
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 4: and an autographed ball from Roger Staubach now the King

1131
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 4: Norton Junior. You know, no offense to to you know, Ken,

1132
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 4: but I mean, uh, you know a little bit of

1133
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 4: a drop off from the letter about Tom Landry, we're

1134
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 4: the greatest coach of all time, saying you boosted his morale,

1135
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 4: which I think which probably boosted yours.

1136
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 3: Uh forever, it really has, because sometimes I forget I

1137
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: have it awesome. Don't lose it, Okay, go through stuff.

1138
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 4: Don't please, don't lose your autographed memorabilia from a player.

1139
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:04,439
Speaker 4: Only an idiot would do that, speaking from experience. So yeah, yeah,

1140
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 4: my dad, I'll tell you. I'll tell you a story.

1141
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 4: My dad, he would traveled a lot, and he got

1142
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 4: an autograph of Tony Dorset, who was my great was

1143
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 4: my favorite player of all time. I was probably like

1144
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 4: nine years old, maybe ten, and he got his autograph

1145
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 4: as one of those black and white photos you know,

1146
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 4: with pos and all that, and it said to Nick

1147
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 4: take my place in nineteen ninety eight. So they did

1148
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 4: the math on how I would be old. I would

1149
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 4: twenty two or whatever, you know, you know, little scrawny

1150
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 4: kid at the time. I mean, I'm not going to

1151
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 4: be a running back in the NFL. Okay, sorry, I'm

1152
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 4: not Christian McCaffrey. But you know, and but you know

1153
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 4: the ironic part of that is I was an intern

1154
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 4: for the Cowboys in nineteen ninety eight. So I didn't

1155
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 4: take his place. I didn't take Tony O. Reseets place.

1156
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 4: But I worked for the Cowboys. Little kid in Oklahoma

1157
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 4: worked for the Cowboys in nineteen ninety eight. And and

1158
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 4: I don't have that picture anymore. I don't know where

1159
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 4: it went. And I might, yeah, I might get emotional

1160
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 4: thinking about that. But don't don't forget. Don't lose your

1161
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 4: stuff like that, because I didn't forget about it. But

1162
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 4: I wish I had that because how sentimental that would

1163
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 4: be for me to have that. But yeah, that that's

1164
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 4: a cool kind I'd like that. That might be our

1165
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 4: next theme of when people, when fans call in like

1166
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 4: what do you have? You know what? That's because because

1167
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 4: you don't have to live and you can live anywhere

1168
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 4: and collect some cool stuff like that. So great, great

1169
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 4: concept there. I like that. So hard to beat, though,

1170
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 4: I do you.

1171
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 3: Have a letter from uh from tech Shram as well.

1172
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 3: But but the Tom Andrew one and the Rogers sawback

1173
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 3: football are definitely the Yeah, the highlight.

1174
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely for sure. So all right, Eric, that's good stuff.

1175
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 4: Good call. Appreciate that. All right. We are gonna I

1198
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 4: game or two, but you can't be messing around with

1199

1201
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,520

01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 8: here and the Cowboys happen to join them for another

1203

Speaker 4: Okay, all right, as I was listening, I.

1207
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 8: Was listening a couple months ago and he said he

1208
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 8: was bringing the smoke to every every show. So I

1209
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,439

1213
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 4: of looking at that thinking maybe, you know, maybe if

1214
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 4: Carolina needs a need somebody. I mean, I'm sorry, but

1215
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 4: the NFL is gonna need somebody other than the Panthers

1216
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 4: to go to Germany. Uh if that's a shot at

1217
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 4: the Panthers, Sorry, I mean, I'm sorry. I mean you

1218
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 4: live there. You see a lot of Panthers jerseys walking around.

1219
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:41,680

Speaker 5: to the.

1222
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 8: Game back at fourteen when you guys went to London,

1223
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 8: I saw every jersey.

1224
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, that was a couple that was a

1225
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 4: fun game. That was fun walking to the stadium and like,

1226
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 4: all right, let's play the game here. First one to

1227
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 4: find a Bucks jersey and you're like, oh yeah, you're

1228
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 4: like sap, you know you can find it, you find it. Yeah,

1229
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 4: it was. It was pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty neat.

1230
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 8: Yeah it was. It was a good time, good time.

1231
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 8: On a more serious no, I wanted to kind of

1232
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 8: go over some of the ideologies I think from our

1233
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 8: front office's standpoint that might need to change, right so

1234
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 8: when you're looking at some things and were you guys

1235
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 8: were discussing it not too long ago. The ideology right

1236
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 8: now is we're going to focus on draft first, sign

1237
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 8: our own and build in, which works to some degree,

1238
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 8: but it hasn't really worked for us lately. And if

1239
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 8: you look at some of the mistakes that we've made,

1240
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 8: h this last draft class, we didn't get a lot

1241
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 8: of production out of and I get you know, we

1242
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 8: had some high hopes for the third round of there

1243
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 8: and towards a cl and you know, Pozzie, you know,

1244
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 8: unfortunately didn't produce. But you know, some of the other trades.

1245
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 8: They're good, like the fifth rounders that fill in, and

1246
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 8: you you're right, I think we need to make a

1247
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 8: bigger splash. The problem is is we've put ourselves in

1248
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 8: a position with looking at Dak's current contract, we kicked

1249
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 8: that can too far down the road that you know,

1250
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 8: he has all the leverage and it's going to be

1251
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 8: really difficult to make the moves that you were discussing

1252
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 8: to go sign a big free agent. We might have

1253
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 8: a little cap space to do it, but you're also

1254
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 8: looking at you know, what did we do with a

1255
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 8: mari Right, so we trade a first, we have the

1256
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 8: guy for three years, and then you turn around and

1257
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 8: you try to flip him for a fit. You get

1258
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 8: nothing back on it. And you know, I'm looking at

1259
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 8: other teams around the league. There's four teams that I

1260
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 8: think have made some big moves and the Cowboys We've

1261
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 8: wanted to stay relevant, which is good, right, And I

1262
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 8: think we've had a good teams and you're trying to

1263
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 8: build around that. But at the same time, I think

1264
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 8: we have to change part of the philosophy too. That

1265
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 8: look what happened with Tampa when they brought him and

1266
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,959
Speaker 8: Brady and brought on those vets. The Rams did something

1267
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 8: very similar not too long ago when they brought in

1268
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 8: Stafford and some of those guys. Two other teams that

1269
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 8: actually made the Super Bowl and weren't afraid to blow

1270
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 8: it up was Philly in San Francisco. Right, Both of

1271
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 8: those teams, they got there and they said, hey, Jimmy

1272
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 8: G's not good enough. We're gonna We're gonna go back

1273
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 8: to the to the well. Now, they didn't hit on

1274
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 8: Trey Lance, but they did get lucky with, you know,

1275
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 8: their next guy. You look at Philly. Philly gets there

1276
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 8: with Foles and they try to do it once. The

1277
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 8: next year they say, hey, this isn't enough. We're going

1278
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 8: to go and draft the guy, you know, and they

1279
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 8: rebuild that way. Do you think that's something that I

1280
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 8: think us as fans are looking at saying something has

1281
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 8: to change. I know, next year it's probably not going

1282
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 8: to be likely, looking at the contract situation and they're

1283
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 8: trying to run it back with the coaching staff. But

1284
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 8: do you think that maybe sometimes you got to jump

1285
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 8: in the deep end and make a change. You think

1286
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 8: that's something that we would be willing to do in

1287
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 8: the future.

1288
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's gonna be Thanks for the calls. Appreciate that.

1289
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 4: And like I said with the caller that we had

1290
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 4: from from Russia, thank you for you know, obviously the

1291
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 4: dedication it takes to be a Cowboy fan long distance.

1292
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 4: Tough to be cowboy fan anywhere, you know right now.

1293
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 4: But when you know you have some disappointment like that.

1294
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 4: But sorry guys, dealing with like a six year cough here,

1295
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 4: I think that blowing it up. It all comes down

1296
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 4: to the quarterback. You know, it comes down to that contract,

1297
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 4: and I think that will be the sign of what

1298
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 4: they do. And you know, I know that Jerry was

1299
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 4: asked probably like twenty times here today, different reporters trying

1300
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 4: to ask about contracts, and he's just not budget on it,

1301
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 4: not giving a whole lot of what they're going to

1302
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 4: do with Dak. I think that's gonna say, kind of

1303
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 4: be the determining factor on anything on what they do

1304
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 4: moving forward or going backwards or starting over or whatever.

1305
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 4: So if they don't restructure him, then this is gonna

1306
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 4: be kind of a you know, this is it put

1307
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 4: all the eggs in next year's basket. Same with McCarthy

1308
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 4: saying with Dak, but I don't think that you're gonna

1309
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 4: see them just kind of blow it up. I just

1310
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 4: don't see that happening for this team, all right, struggling

1311
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 4: here at the end. I gotta get through. Great, great

1312
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 4: show for everybody, For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We

1313

1314
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 4: gonna be joining us, so that's why we're moving up

1315
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 4: to twelve thirty. We will see you then on Cowboys Storyline.
