10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 4: A lot going on here. You would think there's there's nothing,

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 4: but it definitely seems like there's a lot because there is.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 4: There's a schedule came out yesterday. Players are trying to

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: practice of some of the their off season conditioning and

Speaker 4: ACM Awards, the Country Music Awards CMAS.

00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,840

00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,560

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 4: they'll they'll be here tonight. It should be a good time.

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: Reba McIntyre is hosting that one, so good times with

24
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 4: that I'm sure you'll see some some cowboy love at

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: some point on the stage there. I don't know if

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 4: Jerry or Dak or both will.

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Be out there for that, all right, all right, but

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the big I.

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: Think the biggest news was the schedule release coming out yesterday.

30
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's a schedule. It's hard to actually say,

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: all right, it looks good, it looks bad, it's this

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 4: is gonna be hard, this is not, but it seems favorable.

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: There's some things I like about it. Sometimes, you know,

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: you look at the schedule, you look at it for

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: personal reasons. You're like, all right, what does Christmas look like?

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: And you know what cold wet their games and places

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: you've never been to and what time of the year

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: you're going to go and all that kind of stuff.

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: But you know, just from a team aspect, I'm you know,

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: it's we knew it was going to be challenging. Anytime

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: you win your division and you play three first place

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 4: teams and then you play the toughest you're playing the

43
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: only division uh in in the league that that had

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 4: every team with a winning record, and that was the

45
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 4: AFC North, So you knew that was going to be

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 4: tough too. And they're all on here. But the way

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 4: it's laid out, I don't think it's too daunting.

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: There's some rough patches, it seems, and then there's some

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: also some some parts in it that I think the

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: Cowboys can can you know, have some success. So anyways,

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: well we'll talk about it as the show goes on.

53
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: Eight eight, eight, eight, five five two two nine seven.

54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: It's the number to call or text at eight one

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: seven two nine zero three two nine to eight. I

56
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: think this might be the day to get on. The

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: lines should be open and clear. We had That's what

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 4: happens when you change the schedule like this, So we'll

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: hopefully we will be able to have maybe some new

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: callers on here.

61
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: But all right, let's start it off. We got Dom

62
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: and Odessa.

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 6: Hey, Nate, how you doing?

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: Man?

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: Good?

66
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: How are you good?

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: What's up there?

68
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 5: Man?

69
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: Now?

70
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 6: I just wanted to call. I tried to call. Like

71
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 6: you said, the lines are usually cocked up a while back. Yeah,

72
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 6: But anyway, as far as the schedule goes, I thought,

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 6: you know, they were going to put the Textans as

74
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 6: a prime time game. I was looking at that. I

75
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 6: thought it would be more of a pine time match.

76
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 6: I know it's going to be Monday night, but I

77
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 6: was seeing Sunday night. You know, I thought that would

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 6: be a Sunday night type game. Kind of kind of

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 6: messed up my plans. I wanted to go for the weekend.

80
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 6: But you know, we'll see if we can work it out. Yeah,

81
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 6: but I think that's going to be a good matchup.

82
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 6: But uh, I had a question for you. I wanted

83
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 6: to get your input as far as the Dak. You know,

84
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 6: the whole Dak thing are thinking a little walk and

85
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 6: if so, I thought that they were going to beef

86
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 6: up Trey Lance's workload. What do you think that has

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 6: to do. Is they're gonna put a fire under Dak

88
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 6: or what are your thoughts on that? I bet you

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 6: answered that all.

90
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: Right, Well, thanks for the call. I don't really know

91
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: if they're going to let him walk or not. I mean,

92
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: I think this is what happens. The season is gonna

93
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: affect everything. I'm not sure what you've heard about Trey

94
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: Lance getting more work more work in the preseason.

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

96
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: Remember DAK hasn't played a preseason snapped since twenty nineteen,

97
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: so they didn't have any games in twenty twenty and

98
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: then he got hurt that season, was coming off the injury,

99
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: so he didn't play it in twenty twenty one and

100
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 4: then he hasn't played once since, so he's not playing

101
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: any preseason games. You can try to get Cooper Rush ready.

102
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: I mean, he kind of know what he is, so

103
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: he can get some reps, but you don't know what

104
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 4: you have in Trey Lance, so it doesn't make sense

105
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 4: to really play anybody else. That's I think what's happening

106
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: with the more workload, So that's that's where you know,

107
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 4: and you'll see him get get some some a lot

108
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: of reps there. So that's that's I think in none

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: only for the Cowboys, but for the rest of the league.

110
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: They kind of see what he is because you know,

111
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 4: if something happens and another team and some quarterback gets

112
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 4: hurt like we saw last year with the Vikings and

113
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins and they ended up making a trade, and

114
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: you know with the Cardinals for Dobbs, something like that

115
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: could happen for a team if if they see they

116
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: like what they see in Trey Lance in the preseason,

117
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: or maybe the Cowboys want to keep I mean, there's

118
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: just a lot of options. But right now not that

119
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: many people know what he's able to do, and that's

120
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: because he hasn't played a lot. So this is this

121
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: is kind of a this will be an an audition

122
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: for him for all the teams really, and that's what

123
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 4: I think is going to happen there. Now, going back

124
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: to the first part of the question about the schedule

125
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: the Texans, I haven't seen their schedule. I don't know

126
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 4: if they if they have Sunday night games, you know,

127
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know if they're there yet. I mean,

128
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: that's if that's not disrespectful. Oh well, but you know

129
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 4: they you know, Monday night game. That seems good for them,

130
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 4: you know, And then that's gonna be a good matchup.

131
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 4: I mean, that's they're they're you know, a good young team.

132
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

133
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: It looks like they've got some some good players. Then

134
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: they they've added some so they've built on it seems

135
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: like they have built off of the success that they

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 4: had last year. And their quarterbacks only probably gonna get

137
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: better into his second year. And so they you know,

138
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 4: that's gonna be a tough matchup, you know, and they

139
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: always you know, want to come up to Dallas and

140
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 4: and show that, you know, they're they're, you know, a

141
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: good worthy opponent of being a rival. I don't think

142
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: the Cowboys consider them rivals, but they could definitely consider

143
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: the Cowboys rivals. And that's what happens all the time

144
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 4: when you haven't won anything. But all right, so that

145
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: that should be a fun matchup. That it will be

146
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 4: plenty of them on the schedule, and we'll talk about

147
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: it as we continue to move on.

148
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: If phone lines are open eight A eight.

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: Eight five five to two nine seven, we have some

150
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 4: texts questions, though, let's let's get that rolling. This is

151
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: from Pete in Oregon. I'd like to know the guy's opinion.

152
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: This is probably from the last show. That's right, I'll

153
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: take it. The guy's opinion on Sam Williams playing some linebacker.

154
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: I think I think he's a unless they're gonna move

155
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: to a three four, which I have not heard that.

156
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: But I think he's a defensive end. That's that's what

157
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: he needs to be playing. I think he needs to

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: be rushing the quarterback from the defensive end position. That

159
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 4: there will be some variables if that's what Zimmer has

160
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: done in the past and that's what he does this year,

161
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: where you can you know, you can have some three

162
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: men front and four men fronts. Parsons and Sam Williams

163
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: can both play that three four outside linebacker in a

164
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: three four, but I don't know if they have the

165
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 4: personnel on the line and really at linebacker to do

166
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: it that way. So I think you're going to see

167
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: him play more defensive end. But you know, he's got

168
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: a unique skill set. Anytime you can have a defensive

169
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: end that's also playing as the gunner on special teams,

170
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: that just shows what kind of athletic ability he has.

171
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: He could play, you know, different spots, but I think

172
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: from from where he is in his career, from a

173
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: development standpoint, and just just you know, playing this scheme,

174
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: I think he needs to be rushing the passer at

175
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: defensive end. All right, let's go with Dan and Philly.

176
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on the Cowboys schedule. There's a

177
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: rough patch between before the bye week. I'm also not

178
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: a fan of having to play the Eagles in December

179
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: in Philly.

180
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris bring some water should give him a tip.

181
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 4: I don't, he goes, I don't know if I'm playing

182
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: the Philly in in December. Up there in his favorite

183
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: Cowboys or past cowboy that he's mentioning today is to

184
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 4: Shard Choice. We've done a lot of stuff with the

185
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 4: Shard Choice here lately, done some interviews with him, and

186
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: he was down at Texas. We've got working on a

187
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: documentary project that he has been a part of. So yeah,

188
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 4: it's a charge, a great, great fun guy. Loved having

189
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 4: him on the team. All right, let's go to another

190
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: Let's go to his question the thoughts on the schedule

191
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 4: and also about playing Philly late in the year. Yeah,

192
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's kind of gone back and forth.

193
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 4: I mean that we've played Philly at home at the

194
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 4: end of the season a couple of times, played them there,

195
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: So you know it's going to happen when you're playing

196
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: your your division games towards the end of the season.

197
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: That's that's probably your only game that has a chance

198
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: to be really really cold. I mean maybe Carolina December fifteenth,

199
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: that's probably going to be cold somewhat at noon, but

200
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: shouldn't be that bad. But I mean Philly, Yeah, Philly

201
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 4: December twenty ninth, I mean that there should be a

202
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 4: lot riding on that game. You know, he talked about

203
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: rough patches before the bye. Yeah, I mean Philly, Philly

204
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: is in in November the tenth. But before the bye

205
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 4: you've got Pittsburgh and Detroit and then the bye, then

206
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: you get the forty nine ers f Philly, Houston. I

207
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 4: mean yeah, I mean it's gonna happen. That's where the tough,

208
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: the tough game seemed to be right now, and that's

209
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: because that's what we think. We think the forty nine

210
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 4: ers are gonna be good like they have been lately,

211
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: and we think the Lions stealers all those those games.

212
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean I kind of like happened the

213
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: bye week right before. But still I think it lays

214
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: out pretty pretty nice for the Cowboys, though it's not

215
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: too bad. All right, let's go with this is another

216
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 4: text question Chris from New York. Actually seeing the layer

217
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 4: of the schedule, I'm not as concerned as I was.

218
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: It's not going to be easy. I think they could

219
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: win the ten to twelve games unless there's a major

220
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: injury to a key player. Another note, last week I

221
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: heard another sports radio show there are reports the Cowboys

222
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 4: and Jerry Jones want to hit the reset button and

223
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: get Shadra Sanders if the season goes badly I don't play.

224
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 4: I don't pay much attention to the Cowboys news talk

225
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: unless it comes from you guys at Dallas Cowboys dot com.

226
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: Do you think there's a shred of truth to this

227
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 4: or just filler? Well, let's go to that part. I mean,

228
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: they don't have a quarterback that's seemingly under contract next year,

229
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 4: so something's going to have to happen here, and it's easy.

230
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 4: When that happens, then you can because of that, you

231
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: can start looking at all of the options. So you

232
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: look at the free agents that are out there, you

233
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 4: look at the projected picks that are out there. So

234
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: I haven't heard anyone say that that, oh, that's what

235
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are trying to do. I mean if they did,

236
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 4: they certainly wouldn't say it publicly or even even if

237
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 4: it got leaked out. I mean, there's just so much,

238
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: so much time, and so many things that have to

239
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 4: happen between now and then. So no, I don't know

240
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 4: if that's the case, but I do say I do

241
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: think that that, you know, this team's going to have

242
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 4: to make some hard decisions at quarterback, So whatever that means,

243
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: it's going to have to happen, you know, here in

244
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 4: the next three to four months. We'll see how the

245
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 4: season goes for sure, not three to four months, but

246
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: really a six to six to nine months that they

247
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: have to make a decision there.

248
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: All right.

249
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: Maurice McCrae from Washington State said McCarthy talks talked about

250
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: the presence that Ezekiel brings to the locker room with

251
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 4: the statement that he can come in and spank a

252
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: sixty year old man on the ass and still be

253
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: welcome to the locker room. What do you think for

254
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: the locker room in twenty twenty four. That was kind

255
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: of an awkward part of the of the press conference

256
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 4: the other day when he did that. So when he

257
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: said that, yeah, he's just he just means he's got

258
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: he's got a way about him that, you know where

259
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 4: he can he can hang with the young guys, he

260
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 4: can talk to the old coaches, and he kind of

261
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 4: gets along with everyone, and he really always has. So

262
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: you know that he's a guy that that's a you know,

263
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: fan friendly, locker room friendly. But you know, to make

264
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 4: this work, he's gonna have to be a guy that

265
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: could run the football and and and play well like

266
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: he has been in the past and if he can

267
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 4: still do that and do all these other things, I

268
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 4: think it's going to be a good, good thing for him.

269
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to the phone calls here. Jeff

270
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 4: in Oregon, Jeff.

271
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: What's up?

272
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 5: Oh my lock? Nick? How are you?

273
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Orgon? All right? We don't have

274
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of calls from Morgan.

275
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 5: First time caller. I texted you three times, but first

276
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 5: time color. Yeah, okay, just a couple of comments. I'll

277
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 5: let you go, and all right, if you want to

278
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 5: take spat upon him, that's fine. I kind of like

279
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 5: the way things are going. I was up and down

280
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 5: with everybody else, but I people are going to have

281
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: to play this year, and either we're gonna have two

282
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 5: new young linemen uh or not. We're going to see

283
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 5: neland I'm sure to play probably that big tackle. And

284
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 5: I just I thinks we're gonna have thirty fourth receiver

285
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 5: that we haven't seen a lot of. I haven't done

286
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 5: a lot of playing time. I just I like the

287
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 5: idea that they're going to play and we're going to

288
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 5: find out why some of these guys intive. We don't

289
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: see that a lot. Another comment I wanted to make

290
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 5: is that You've got a guy like Jerry Jones who's

291
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 5: a billionaire and he's had to be that way because

292
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 5: of negotiating and find contracts and all of these done.

293
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 5: I'm sure Jerry knows you've got to be able to

294
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: walk away from a contract, and in this case in football,

295
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 5: walking away I means you basically have to trade somebody

296
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: because you can't make a deal with them. Why I

297
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 5: lose them? And I'm just curious with you why you

298
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 5: can't see me get contracts made done like we see

299
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: other teams do, or why we don't just walk away

300
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 5: from players and say, Okay, we try to negotiate faithfully

301
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 5: and get faith and can't get had it done. And

302
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 5: that's just the way it worked out. And I'll let

303
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: you go. It's great, yeah, for the first time, and

304
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 5: I'll see what you got to say.

305
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: Thanks, Jeff. I would like a little back and forth there,

306
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: because because you said they don't either they can't get

307
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: them done, why don't they get them done? Or why

308
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: they just let them walk away? I mean it seems

309
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 4: like it would be one or the other. I mean

310
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: those are the two options that you have. Maybe I

311
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: misunderstood that, but.

312
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 5: Oh no, I would say, I would say, negotiate faithfully

313
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: for so long and then you get to a point

314
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: where you say, okay, we care afford this or whatever

315
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 5: your reason is, we can't go any further. You can't.

316
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 5: If you're just going to go until you and me

317
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 5: you know what they want, then why not do that?

318
00:15:59,680 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: Right?

319
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: But if we spent all this time, I mean, you're

320
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 5: at the point with these players.

321
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: Who are we talking about We just talking about Dak.

322
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: Any one of them that thought that was a big

323
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: three that are up that Well.

324
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: Parsons has two years left on his deal and and Mike,

325
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: I mean, and CD still has one, and so I mean,

326
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 4: you know, they say it all the time, they always

327
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 4: say deadlines make deals. So that just lets you know

328
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 4: that they're not really They're not going to let it

329
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: kind of force their hand. They're going to kind of

330
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: let this thing play out, let the other teams and

331
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: players in the league and their deals come through. And

332
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: that's that's the kind of their strategy. But they're getting

333
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 4: they're they're up against it now with DAK.

334
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 5: I mean that that's that's what I'm saying. But what

335
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 5: if that doesn't find the.

336
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: Does CD sign?

337
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

338
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: No, I'm here he'll sign. I mean, well, why why

339
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 4: would he not? What do you say, I mean, because

340
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 4: you think they're going to have like a crappy quarterback

341
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: in here for three or four years, Well we may

342
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: very well, he's gonna he's gonna sign. He's gonna get

343
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: the most money, and he's gonna sign, like if the

344
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: Cowboys offer him what he's wanting from. You know, I

345
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 4: don't think they care who the quarterback is at this

346
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: point in their career, trying to get their second deal

347
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: they want to be. He thinks he's the highest He

348
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 4: should be the highest paid receiver in the league, and

349
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 4: that's what he wants. So if you you don't think so, okay.

350
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 5: Well I don't think other receivers it.

351
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what.

352
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, what I'm saying, that's what he thinks that

353
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 4: he thinks that, and I.

354
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 5: Don't how many players think they're the best in the league.

355
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Well, I mean he's up there. I mean

356
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 4: he's up there. He's proved and he's proven that he

357
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: would be up there. But what I'm saying is, I

358
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 4: don't think who the quarterback is really matters. If the

359
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: Cowboys give CD and his agent what they're looking for

360
00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna do it.

361
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure he would like to have Dak, he'd like

362
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: to have the quarterback.

363
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: Uh but but I you know, I don't think necessarily

364
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 4: that that that means, you know, he's not going to

365
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: sign if he doesn't have, you know, a quarterback, because

366
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: this team is not going to go forever with with

367
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 4: not having a good option there. So if Dak's not

368
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: the quarterback next year, they'll get a young guy, but

369
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: they'll get somebody that they think will be pretty good,

370
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 4: you know, soon, so that that'll be the plan.

371
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 7: All right.

372
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 5: Well, I just I just I just hope that Jerry

373
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: as general Vazard does athlet it gets the point where

374
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 5: it's in it's last year. He's in his last year,

375
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 5: Mike is in his last year because like you said,

376
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 5: I mean deadlines. Yeah, delivery deadlines like your time tracts

377
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 5: up can decide I'll get I'll get more money elsewhere.

378
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it's a risky deal for both sides.

379
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 5: You know.

380
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 4: It's it's risky. It's it's risky if the player holds out.

381
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: Thanks for the call, Jeff. It's risky if the player

382
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 4: holds out, because you know he could get injured and

383
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: in the price, or he could play bad in the

384
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 4: p or you know, not play as well as is

385
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: what they're expecting, and the price that could go down.

386
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 4: Or you could just not sign the guy and and

387
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 4: then you know, just like CD, you just don't sign

388
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 4: him last year. You let him play out this year

389
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 4: and he sets all kinds of records and now he

390
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: wants the highest paid money in the league.

391
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: So it's it's a game.

392
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: It's a cat and mouse game, and you know, you

393
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: can see it kind of play out both ways. All right,

394
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: let's go to another text question. Julio from Frisco. His wrestler,

395
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 4: his Stone Cold, his favorite football movie, The Program, Necessary Roughness,

396
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: and Man movie would be any John Wick film? Got

397
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 4: a new one? Want your thoughts? Friday Night Lights show,

398
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 4: movie or book. I'd like to show the best. All

399
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 4: three were great. His Cowboy prediction this year is ten

400
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 4: and seven. That's a good question on Friday Night Lights,

401
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: the show, the movie, or the book.

402
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the show. I was late.

403
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: I was late to the already on that one, and

404
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 4: it had already finished the five seasons or so when

405
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 4: I started. I was like, let me finally watch this

406
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 4: what's all this about. I like the movie, but the

407
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 4: show is outstanding. Yeah, I would, I would, I would. Right,

408
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: I'd like to see a movie on the show for

409
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 4: the cast of the show. That's what I want to

410
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: see happening. I think that would be really cool, really

411
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: really good movie. Friday Night Lights. And it's funny. We

412
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 4: had our first caller. It was from Odessa, where all

413
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: that really took place. All right, let's go to the

414
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: another first time caller we got online, Jeremy in Utah.

415
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 7: What's up, Nick? How we doing?

416
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: How are you man? Got some energy?

417
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 7: Yes? Yes, I finally I've been listening for years, obviously,

418
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 7: my first time getting through and I'm still there. You go,

419
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 7: that's right, here we go. So Nick, me and you

420
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 7: have actually met before, all right, years ago, about ten

421
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 7: years ago. It got a little bit of backstory. I

422
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 7: was listening that and I remember when the schedule came out.

423
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 7: You said, look week I think it was like week

424
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 7: seven at Seattle, We're gonna win that game. And Seattle

425
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 7: just won the Super Bowl and we'd just had another

426
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 7: eight and eight season, and then that was a start

427
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 7: of the twenty fourteen season. I went to Seattle, got

428
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 7: tickets to that game, and by hell, we beat them

429
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 7: and it was like amazing game. And at the end

430
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 7: of the game, I was screaming at you from the

431
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 7: end zone, telling you that you called it, and I

432
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 7: remember you coming up and shaking my hand telling me,

433
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 7: like to enjoy it and everything. We had a little chat,

434
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 7: but it was a really cool moment. And man, that

435
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 7: was just an amazing game and it was one of

436
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 7: the best, the best game I've ever been to live

437
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 7: in my life.

438
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: Yeah right, I got a story about that game too.

439
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 4: I can tell it when when the calls over. But yeah, yeah,

440
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: that was a great one.

441
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

442
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 7: I remember in the first quarter they blocked the punt

443
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 7: and it was like a bomb went off. I've never

444
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 7: experienced anything that loud in my life.

445
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

446
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you know, getting to new things, you know.

447
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 7: I've been listening to the show, and I love this show,

448
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 7: and I'm great that everybody gets a chance to have

449
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 7: their opinion voice their opinion. But I've always told people,

450
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 7: you know, I hate Eagles fans the worst. They are trashed,

451
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 7: their garbage. But sometimes my second is other Cowboys fans

452
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 7: that are always negative, that are always like pushing these

453
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 7: false narratives that they learned from these idiots on ESPN.

454
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 7: I stopped watching ESPN. Like when the t O tried

455
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 7: to kill himself, narrative came out and they kept pushing that,

456
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 7: and I just at that point I figured out ESPN

457
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 7: is the news. It's like the Fox News is sports.

458
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 7: It's just took a bunch of opinions and bad ones

459
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 7: at that. And you know, there's this narrative that Zeke

460
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 7: is all run down and King Henry would have been

461
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 7: the greatest thing. Like they came out in the same draft, right,

462
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 7: And people don't ever like realize, Like if you look

463
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 7: at Zeke's career, he had that one rough year where

464
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 7: he in two thousand during in twenty where he had

465
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 7: the fumbling issue. He also had COVID that year too, right,

466
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 7: and people forget, these aren't baseball cards, man, these are people. Right.

467
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 7: I had COVID and knocked me. He knocked me in

468
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 7: the dirt for a good few months.

469
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: Right.

470
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 7: And you know the other thing was Kellen Moore in

471
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 7: his play calling. I feel like ruined Zeke's career in Dallas.

472
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 7: There were many games. I'll go back to the Green

473
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 7: Bay game a couple of years ago where I'm sitting

474
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 7: in a bar with some cowboys and other people that

475
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 7: hate the cowboys, all of us screaming at the TV.

476
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 7: Run the ball, you know, and Tellen Moore it just

477
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 7: wouldn't he just kept throwing the ball. Same thing with

478
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 7: the Jacksonville one a few years ago.

479
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

480
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 7: So, I think Zeke is gonna have an amazing year,

481
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 7: and I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people.

482
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 7: And all these people bitching and moaning about not doing

483
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 7: anything in free agency, When has that ever worked out

484
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 7: for a team? When is going and getting a bunch

485
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 7: of free agents and overpaying ever worked out? I want

486
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 7: him all to tell me when that's ever worked out.

487
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 7: You remember the Eagles when they went and got Nandi

488
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 7: and Vince Young and this whole all star team and

489
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 7: then they sucked? Do you remember that?

490
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

491
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: I do.

492
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 4: I also remember them getting a couple in the twenty

493
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 4: seventeen season and then they won the Super Bowl.

494
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think.

495
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: I don't think you use free agency to, like, you know,

496
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 4: piece your team together and you have superstars, but I

497
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 4: think you can find some core pieces there that could help.

498
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: And there has been some cases where that sort of happened.

499
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 4: But but I don't know if it's if like you're saying,

500
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 4: you know, these guys will carry us to a super

501
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 4: Bowl based off free agency, because if they're that type

502
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 4: of player, they probably wouldn't, you know, be available, so exactly.

503
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, And I remember in the early two thousands

504
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 7: overpaying for a few guys and it never did us

505
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 7: any well, you know what I mean. So I'm kind

506
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 7: of I'm kind of glad. I kind of like what

507
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 7: the front office is doing this last ten years or so, drafting, well,

508
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 7: getting kind of role players from free agency, and the

509
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 7: biggest free agency and the best that we are in

510
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 7: the league is picking out free agents, rookie free agents. Right,

511
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 7: how many have made the team in the last fifteen

512
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 7: years of the Cowboys and been great players or serviceable

513
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 7: good players? Right?

514
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, Jeremy, Jeremy, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave you

515
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 4: with this. This is what the Cowboys, this is what

516
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 4: their philosophy is about free agency, Okay, and the players

517
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 4: that are available, all right, average players. Average players will

518
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 4: get good contracts in free agency, and good players will

519
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 4: get great contracts in free agency, and great players never

520
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: make it to free agency. That's the way that they

521
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: think and and so that's how they view this this

522
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. So if you see a good player,

523
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Dorrian's Armstrong was a good player

524
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 4: and he got a great contract.

525
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: But if he was a great player for the Cowboys,

526
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have been in free agency.

527
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: So that's absolutely all right.

528
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: All right, good, good call man, Thanks and it was good.

529
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: I kind of remember, honestly, I kind of remember meeting

530
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: you there in Seattle. I remember that walking off the

531
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: field because in that corner there in the end zone

532
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: there's one guy that he's like the Heckler guy, you know,

533
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: and so it's so great to.

534
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 7: Walk down me.

535
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I'm talking about Seattle fan. This is

536
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: a Seattle fan that I was.

537
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 7: Yelling and another Seattle fan. We're back, yeah, I kept

538
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 7: telling him we're back.

539
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: Well this guy where we I don't know. Well, yeah,

540
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: thank for that game.

541
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 7: Should have won the Super Bowl, bro.

542
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I think dad still caught it, all right, Jeremy,

543
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 4: Thanks for the call. Good stuff always, all right. Got

544
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 4: some a lot of text questions here. I'm gonna get

545
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: one of these. How about a caller? This is from

546
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 4: Tyler Texas no name, but he says, do you think

547
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 4: Pollard's replacement is on the team? I would add an

548
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 4: s to that. I think Pollard's replacements are on the team,

549
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 4: one of them, at least. I still I've said it.

550
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: I still think something different is gonna happen. I think

551
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: they're gonna look, they're gonna find something, They're gonna maybe

552
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 4: make a trade. I don't think all of his replacements

553
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 4: are on the team. I think there's gonna be some

554
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 4: guys though. Zeke is one of them. I think Rico's

555
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: also in there. We'll see how it all shakes out.

556
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: But I still think that there's something else gonna happen

557
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: for this team.

558
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: I really believe that. All Right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma

559
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: is on the line. Lewis, Hey, how you doing, good man?

575
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: say this. Why don't you just have her listen to

576
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 4: the show?

577
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all right.

Speaker 4: Hey, Lewis is better half. I'm talking to you. It's

579
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: been twelve years. You guys need to go to the

580
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: Cowboys game.

581
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: You need to go. There's been more noon games on.

582
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: The schedule than ever before, most of them on the road,

583
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: which is good if you're traveling and you want to

584
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: get back in a decent time. But this game's at

585
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 4: home New Orleans. It would be an easy it's been

586
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: an easy trip, a one day trip. Pack the car,

587
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: go down to AT and T Stadium. Hey, get loud

588
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: because the Saints fans will be coming. They'll be bringing

589
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: a lot of fans from the other side to It'll

590
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: be early in the year, so they still think they're

591
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 4: gonna have a good team, so it'll it'll be a

592
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: very lively game for the NFL. You should be there

593
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 4: and bring Lewis as well, bring him because he wants

594
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 4: to go to the game.

595
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: That's my pitch straight Amen.

596
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: All right, all right, I always call it. And then

597
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: you know what's crazy. I think I might have to

598
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 2: call you a gig because they played on Sunday, the

599
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: October to thirteenth, Detroit, that's our anniversary. So I might

600
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: need to call you a game to give another pep talk.

601
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can help you on that

602
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 4: one on the anniversary, you know what I mean, unless

603
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 4: she's got like a tattoo with the star, like she's

604
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: a die hard Cowboy fan, you know, and that's something.

605
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: She would want to do.

606
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: But you know, you're gonna have a hard time maybe

607
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 4: watching the game. I would just go for that one,

608
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 4: you know, maybe not going down there, but I don't know,

609
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: I mean, you.

610
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, make a weekend of it. Make

611
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: a weekend of it.

612
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 4: Go go down and there's a lot of stuff to do,

613
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: and in Arlington down there, make a weekend of it.

614
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: And then you know, I'm sure, I'm you know, none

615
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: like the Saints. I think that Detroit may not have

616
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: a ton of fans. I mean they you know, they've

617
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 4: they've developed some here over the last few few months probably,

618
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it'll be it'd be a good when.

619
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: That's gonna be a good game though, I mean that

620
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: was a good game before. You know, if Detroit knew

621
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 4: the rules, they might have won that game.

622
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: But you know.

623
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: The rules. I mean, yeah, he hit off a little

624
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: more than he could chew at that moment. I mean,

625
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: I'm not not not taking the shot, but yeah, I'm

626
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: that was that was a crazy game.

627
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: Well, and he did it in the NFC Championship too.

628
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: I think after watching the Cowboys game and then watching

629
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 4: that when I think it realized he didn't he just

630
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 4: doesn't like his kicker, and he was just like, we're

631
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: not gonna kick field goals. We're gonna go win this game.

632
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 4: And they didn't either time. But it's not gonna be

633
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 4: an easy one. I mean because Detroit either they're young,

634
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 4: they're talented, they had a lot of money they added

635
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 4: to it. You know, they're they're like Houston and that

636
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: they're you know, they've never won anything, but yet they think,

637
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 4: you know, this is gonna they're building something and and

638
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: and then they're gonna come into Dallas. Both these games

639
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 4: and those are gonna be tough. Tho's gonna be tough

640
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: home games. They Cowboys have some tough home games, uh,

641
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 4: but they have to.

642
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 8: That's why I call.

643
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: That's why I called because I wanted to know what

644
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: what because I was looking at it and I was

645
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: the first eight games look like it's going to be

646
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: the meat and potatoes, like as far as they play,

647
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: and the way the schedule lined out, like where you

648
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: say the hardest, the hardest, the schedule in your opinion, would.

649
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: Be just what it looks like. And I have to

650
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 4: qualify it all the time. I mean, you just just

651
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 4: go back to last year if you were to say,

652
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 4: hey boy, that Week two game, don't worry about that

653
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 4: at the Jets because they're you know, Aaron Rodgers is

654
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: probably gonna tear his achilles, he won't even play. But

655
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 4: worry about that Cardinal game because I don't think the

656
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 4: Cowboys are gonna have any offensive linemen that have ever

657
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: played in that game, and they're gonna forget how to tackle.

658
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 4: So you just never know how to how these games

659
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 4: are going to go. But looking at it, yeah, it

660
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 4: does look like that, like you said, the meat and

661
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 4: potatoes there in the first eight games. But all right,

662
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: let's say, let's say you're three and five. That's not good,

663
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 4: and that's not good for McCarthy. But let's say you're

664
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 4: three and five. Okay, yeah, but then but then I

665
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 4: don't you get to Houston at home? Okay, look at

666
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 4: the next games. That's the one I focus on. I

667
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 4: guess I'm I'm a glass half full guy because I

668
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 4: see what you see. But then I look at this

669
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 4: stretch of six games mid November to mid late December,

670
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: Houston at home, at Washington, Giants at home, Bengals at home,

671
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 4: at the Panthers, Bucks at home.

672
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: Let's go.

673
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: I mean, make it work.

674
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 8: You can make it happen.

675
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: That's that's where, Yeah, I'm just saying I'm.

676
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: Able to pick up something.

677
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about.

678
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: Three and five would be not ideal, of course, I mean,

679
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: you wouldn't want that, and this team isn't as good

680
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 4: as we think they are if they're going to go

681
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 4: three and five. But I'm saying, at that point in

682
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: the year, you should be able to make a stretch here.

683
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 4: And I think you know, and I know Cincinnati. I mean,

684
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: Cincinnati is tough and Houston will be tough, and the

685
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: Giants do Thanksgiving could be tough. But I'm just saying,

686
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 4: if you're gonna be the team that you think you're

687
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 4: gonna be, this is it. This is time to do it.

688
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, oh.

689
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the time. They try to get it together.

690
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: And like you said, we don't know how Mike McCarthy

691
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: feels about it, but I mean, if he's looking at

692
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 2: the schedule, he wants to make as much hate as

693
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: he wants as he can in the first half of

694
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: the schedule.

695
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure.

696
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate you know, I might call you again.

697
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: You know, I need you to be the pitch man,

698
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: because the way you was trying to tell it, I mean, man,

699
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: you're telling you that might work.

700
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you have to do the work.

701
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: But you know that's the that's the pitch.

702
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

703
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: It's been twelve years since you've been to the game.

704
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: You know, Hey, we need we need to we need

705
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 4: to get back. You need to get back, make it happen.

706
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: So, yes, sir, I'll appreciate it.

707
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: All right, have a good one, good stuff. You know.

708
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 4: I need to just focus on my own home, you know,

709
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: my own situation. I can't be I'm giving advice I mean,

710
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 4: you need to need to make sure I'm doing it right,

711
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 4: all right, Joe and Montrose, Uh, Pennsylvania.

712
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 10: Hey, that good to be honest with you.

713
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: How are you doing good?

714
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 10: I would I would love for the Cowboys to be

715
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 10: more innovative than they've been in many, many years, more

716
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 10: forward thinking and and to me, I'm thinking about team

717
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 10: building and specifically about with the eighteen game schedule coming

718
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 10: up sooner rather than later, I think that's going to

719
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 10: mean that you're gonna have to play twenty one to

720
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 10: twenty two games to play in the Super Bowl. And

721
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 10: I don't see how teams can have three or four

722
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 10: players that take up more than fifty percent of their

723
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 10: cap and you know, have a lack of depth at

724
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 10: other positions. And I would love to see them, you know,

725
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 10: they're in the perfect period with these expiring contracts, to

726
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 10: change their philosophy and say, you know, the strength of

727
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 10: our team is Will McLay and his drafting. I think

728
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 10: he's one of the best in the league's and I

729
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 10: think if they could, you know, give him more capital

730
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 10: and let him, you know, draft the best players available

731
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 10: and tell the coaches, hey, we're not fitting them into

732
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 10: your scheme. You're going to fit your scheme around the

733
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 10: players that will draft and just build depth and youth

734
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 10: and healthy players. I would love for them to see,

735
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 10: you know, see him try something like that and not

736
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 10: saying it's there to work, but you know, just change

737
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 10: it up a little bit. And they used to be,

738
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 10: you know, very innovative back in the day, and I

739
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 10: just haven't seen a lot of that from them lately,

740
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 10: and you know, just something to change it up.

741
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 7: A little bit.

742
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm all about doing something different. I mean,

743
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 4: you can't just keep doing the same thing for twenty

744
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 4: eight years now and you know, haven't been to the

745
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and just say well, this is this is

746
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 4: the way to do it. I mean there's some tweaking involved,

747
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 4: and I think you're right. I think they should. You know,

748
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 4: it's just it's it's hard to let you know, they've

749
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: developed good players. I mean, this is a team that

750
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: has a lot of Pro Bowlers, and it's hard to

751
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 4: let those guys go. You know that they've done it some.

752
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 4: I mean some of these guys that they they've let go.

753
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard has won, Tyler be Ottis is another. I mean,

754
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 4: guys that have you know, but they had they weren't

755
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 4: coming off Pro Bowl seasons. I don't know if they

756
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 4: would have let them go if they were coming off

757
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 4: a Pro Bowl year. So it's it's tough when you

758
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 4: when you go through the draft, you build it, you

759
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: develop them, and then they become really good players and

760
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 4: you want to keep them. You want to figure out

761
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 4: the best place, you know, the ways to keep them,

762
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 4: and that's what they've they've tried to do, and you know,

763
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 4: it's and let's be honest. I mean, this team has

764
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 4: been good. This has been a good team most of

765
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: the time, a team that can compete and go win it,

766
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 4: and they just haven't been able to get over the hump.

767
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: Do you blow it up because of that? Some people

768
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: would say yes, but most people would say no to that.

769
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: You know, you keep you keep fighting, you keep tweaking

770
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 4: here and there and making this thing happen. It just

771
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 4: hasn't happened yet. And the standards are so high. I mean,

772
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 4: look at all these teams that are that are excited

773
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 4: about what they're doing and they still haven't won anything,

774
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, it's just a different world

775
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: that the Cowboys are in. When they they get judged

776
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 4: by can you win the Super Bowl? Because if you haven't,

777
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 4: then we're just going to keep tacking on these years.

778
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 4: And that's what building all this frustration that the Cowboys

779
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: can't win, and they get these little shots from other

780
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 4: teams about all the Cowboys have never win.

781
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny when you look at.

782
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 4: These schedule release videos, look at the teams that talk

783
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 4: the most crap, you know, and it's the ones that

784
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 4: have never pet a drop.

785
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: That's what's funny to be but whatever, all right, yeah.

786
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I just I just think that if

787
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 10: you're going to try something new, this is the perfect

788
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 10: time to do it with the expiring contracts, you know,

789
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 10: instead of signing Dak for another three years or whatever

790
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 10: and then being kind of stuck with that. You know,

791
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 10: if you're going to try something different, this is the

792
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 10: perfect time to do it.

793
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: So all right, you know, all right, Joe, appreciate it. Good,

794
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: thank you for hearing from you.

795
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 4: All Right, I think we've got a few more minutes

796
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 4: here on the show because I know we've got the

797
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 4: Players Lounge coming up a little bit after this, right

798
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 4: after this, so the Players Longe will be here at

799
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 4: eleven o'clock Central time, but we can still go for

800
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 4: another ten minutes with the phone lines are are open

801
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: right now, so if you want to make a call,

802
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 4: we when we've had five calls, I think that's the

803
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 4: lowest we've ever had. I'd like to get to if

804
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 4: we can get one more call in, that'd be great.

805
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 4: We do have some text questions TJ in Baltimore. How

806
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 4: does this running back rotation compare to two thousand and

807
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 4: nine Barbara Choice and Felix Jones. It doesn't, It doesn't compare. Sorry,

808
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 4: that's not that's not anywhere close to what this team.

809
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: Has right now.

810
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 4: Barber for a Pro Bowl or was just unstoppable around

811
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 4: the goal line. He could score, you know, any anywhere

812
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 4: in between the you know, ten yard line and he

813
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 4: was probably gonna score. Felix Jones could score any part

814
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 4: in part of the field and then charge Chroyce is

815
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 4: your third back. I mean that's pretty good, and I

816
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: don't think the Cowboys have that. I think all three

817
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: of those guys at that year would be starting on

818
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 4: this team. So this doesn't compare in my mind. But

819
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 4: I mean that's it's okay. I mean, I mean, Zeke,

820
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 4: Zeke's not at that point in his career. But but still,

821
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 4: you know, there's some of you guys think that he

822
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 4: can have a really really good season, and and I

823
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 4: I think he can. I do think he needs some help.

824
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 4: He needs another guy in here. I'm not sure who

825
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 4: that is going to be, but I definitely think that

826
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 4: they can. You know, they get it blocked up front.

827
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 4: I think the running backs can be good. I just

828
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 4: think that they need I just don't think it's over yet.

829
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 4: It's not over yet. On to see who's going to

830
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 4: be running the ball, all right, Eric and Amarillo, Uh,

831
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 4: do you think duce Vaughan has a real chance to play?

832
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 4: What do you think the Cowboys plan is with him?

833
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 4: Is he just a gadget running back? Can he not

834
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 4: be a starting running back because he's too small to

835
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 4: pass protector? I don't think he's going to be a

836
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 4: small I don't I mean, I don't think he's going

837
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 4: to be a starting running back. I think, yeah, that

838
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 4: that that would be a challenge for him to take

839
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: that many hits all the time. I think that, you know,

840
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 4: he's just not built that way. That doesn't mean he

841
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 4: can't do it every now and again, but I don't

842
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 4: think he's built to the point to be the you know,

843
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 4: the every down running back and to take it, you know,

844
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 4: to take the hits that that are needed when you

845
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 4: have the ball and when you don't. But yeah, I

846
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 4: mean I think he can be a gadget back if

847
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 4: you will, he can. He can have his carvet out

848
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 4: his own niche a little bit. He needs to be

849
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 4: a good, you know, pass catcher out of the backfield.

850
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 4: I think he'd be a really good two minute offense

851
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 4: type guy get in there. And you know we saw

852
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: that with Lance Dunbar when he played. I mean he

853
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 4: you know, he could catch the ball out of the backfield.

854
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 4: So I think he could do that kind of stuff.

855
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 4: But you know, for for the most part, I don't

856
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 4: think that that he is going to be your your starter.

857
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 4: But I do think that if he continues to develop, yeah,

858
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 4: he can have a role on the team.

859
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: All right, Bob in Rio grand Valley, Hey, Nick, Hey,

860
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: how you doing that.

861
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 9: I'm in a much better frame of mind than the

862
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 9: last time I called. First of all, I want to

863
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 9: apologize for the disparents, the things that I've said on

864
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 9: that conversation that day. Evidently I'm ashamed of myself, and

865
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 9: I apologize that's all.

866
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 4: Thank you for calling and thank you for saying that,

867
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 4: and now we can just leave it at that. Hey,

868
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 4: you made the All Storyline Team. I don't know if

869
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 4: you heard that. You made the All Storyline Team spite

870
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 4: any of that stuff. Hey, frustrations of this team can

871
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 4: get the best of us. We all know that, and

872
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 4: we say things. Lord knows, I've said things I didn't

873
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 4: want to say before, and that's actually, you know, that's

874
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 4: every day almost for me. But anyways, Bob, thanks for

875
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 4: colling and and if you haven't given us your shirt

876
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 4: size in the address, make sure I have.

877
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: Good That's good.

878
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 9: There there is something positive I would like to say.

879
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 9: All right, Uh, kudos to the whole front office for

880
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 9: the masterful way they handled and drafted in the draft.

881
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 9: I think that we hit a total home run. I

882
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 9: think that they by trading back, it was a masterful

883
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 9: stroke on Jerry's park. I think that we fill positions

884
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 9: of need with great players. I'm very, very optimistic about

885
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 9: this season, and I've watched the interviews with the coaches

886
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 9: that they brought in and I am totally impressed. I

887
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 9: think that we're on the on the right path. I

888
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 9: think that a change in defensive coordinators was needed. I

889
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 9: love Dan Quinn, he's a great guy and whatever. But

890
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 9: I think that a lot of the problems that Malesy

891
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 9: Smith had last year when he was being asked to

892
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 9: do something that he's not capable of doing, I think

893
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 9: Mike Zimmer is going to do it completely different. I

894
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 9: expect to see that young man have a breakout season,

895
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 9: and I think the Cowboys are going to have another

896
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 9: twelve win season and there's a good possibility that we

897
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 9: could wind up in the championship game. Thank you for

898
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 9: taking my car.

899
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 4: Having a great week, all right, Well, thank you, all right.

900
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 4: Good to hear from you again. It's been a while

901
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 4: since you've called. Uh, you know, good positive vibes there

902
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 4: coming uh from an he haven't seen and we haven't

903
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 4: heard a lot of that. I'm not not all fans

904
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 4: are feeling the same way about what the Cowboys have

905
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 4: done or what they really didn't do. And then which

906
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 4: a sign to anybody, but but yeah, I mean, I

907
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 4: think that they've got young talent on this team that

908
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 4: that you know, just needs to needs to to play.

909
00:43:59,440 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 7: Uh.

910
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 4: That was a caller, our second caller, you know, Jeff

911
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 4: and Morgan said we're gonna get to find out about

912
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 4: these guys, and and that's you know, and what is

913
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 4: it the the fifth caller said, you know, Joe from

914
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 4: from Pennsylvania said he thinks Will McLay is the strength

915
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 4: of the of the team. And so if that's the case,

916
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 4: then let let these guys that they've picked, whether it

917
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 4: be this year, last year, a couple of years before,

918
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 4: we still got some draft picks that we haven't seen yet,

919
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 4: so that they're gonna get the chance, they're gonna get

920
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 4: the chance to play. This team needs to have cheap

921
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 4: superstars and uh, you know if Deron Bland is one

922
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 4: of them, I mean he looks like a superstar, you know,

923
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 4: especially when he's taking the ball to the house five

924
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 4: times in a season. So you know, that's but they

925
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 4: need more of those. They need those fourth, fifth round,

926
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 4: sixth round picks to develop into starters and and and

927
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 4: and and be you know, players like that. Oh so

928
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: O'diggy Zoo a third round pick. I mean this is

929
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 4: his contract year. They need a big year from him

930
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 4: as well. So yeah, I think that they can be

931
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 4: just like they were. I think the window is kind

932
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 4: of closing based off the contracts but I don't think

933
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 4: it's closed at all. I think they have a chance

934
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 4: to have a good season this year, a really good season.

935
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 4: They just got to have things go their way. You

936
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 4: got to develop some players, You gotta get lucky at times.

937
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 4: You gotta get lucky with injuries and not have too

938
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 4: many bad injuries. You got to have develop some good

939
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 4: depth so when you have those injuries, you can still

940
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 4: go and win games. And you got to be a

941
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 4: little more more disciplined. Maybe, like you said, Bob, maybe

942
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 4: you know they can they can be that way on

943
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 4: defense with Minke Zimmer coming in. You know, you might

944
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 4: not have as many flash plays there, but you might

945
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 4: have less penalties. And I think with this team, I

946
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 4: think you would take that, all right. Michael Lexington, uh,

947
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 4: North Carolina, Michael, Hey.

948
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 3: Hey man, I'm first time Calver.

949
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: All right, we've got a lot of first time.

950
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh. I called a few years ago on making

951
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: the show, but I argue with him totty much, so

952
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 3: I didn't held back.

953
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: Been there.

954
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 3: I guarantee you it's kind of hard to.

955
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: Deal with how we all are. What do you got, Mike, I.

956
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 3: Got this goes back to the first year Dak was

957
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 3: I've been ask good question when I got to the playoffs.

958
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 3: I wish they would have played Romo instead of Dick.

959
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 3: I really believe we could have done something. What do

960
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 3: you think on that?

961
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: I felt I was.

962
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 4: I was asked this not too long ago, and I said,

963
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 4: this is a tough one for me because I love

964
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 4: both those guys.

965
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but so much better passion.

966
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, you're right Romo to me, and I think

967
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: your agree. Romo would have.

968
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 4: Been the better option for that game, especially as it

969
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 4: played out. I think they wouldn't have been down twenty

970
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 4: one to three or six or whatever it was. I

971
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 4: think Romo would have been a better option for them

972
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: in that game. However, there was no point in the

973
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 4: season when that could have It didn't make since Dak

974
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 4: had he.

975
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: Needed to play.

976
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 4: He played well, he kept winning, he kept winning.

977
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: Is Romo back not yet? Guess what?

978
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 4: Dak wins again? He wins again, They go win in Pittsburgh. Oh,

979
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 4: Romo's ready now? Oh no, Dak still winning. What are

980
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 4: you gonna change the team now? You got these two

981
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 4: young guns, Dak and Zeke.

982
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: You can't change it.

983
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: He never let I mean you know the running name

984
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 3: carry Knack, that year. I mean, Tony was so much better.

985
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 3: If the running game wasn't work and he could win.

986
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: It for you, maybe maybe, But Dak wasn't losing it

987
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: for him either, and so and you know he wasn't.

988
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: Now he did not play well in that in that

989
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: game early, but.

990
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 4: Then he came back and that they were in position

991
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 4: that whether they had it tied, I mean, uh, I

992
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 4: just it was Dax team. I love Tony, but it

993
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 4: was DA's team at that point in the season. He

994
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 4: had done everything he'd had to do, and I don't

995
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 4: think the Cowboys could have could have switched back. I

996
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 4: think you'd lose the team and lose the locker room

997
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 4: if you did that. You got to remember too, who

998
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 4: was in the locker room and who's a locker room guy.

999
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 4: Who did the team gravitate to. Who's the team gravitating towards?

1000
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 4: Now Dak it they don't gravitate to Tony. I'm sorry again,

1001
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 4: I said it. I've said it three times. I love Tony,

1002
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 4: but that's not He wasn't that type of leader.

1003
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: In the locker room.

1004
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 4: He's a leader in his own way, but not like Dak.

1005
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 4: And I think it would have been it would have

1006
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 4: been tough to make that change.

1007
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: So it's unfortunately.

1008
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 3: I really believe if he was in their way to one.

1009
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 4: I don't disagree, I don't disagree. I just don't think

1010
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 4: it's possible to put him in.

1011
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 3: And you know, and I don't think Tony ever received

1012
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 3: the respect they deserve. He got criticized so much. And

1013
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 3: I know, Telly, he was a quarterback in Dallas, but

1014
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 3: I mean he was a great quarterback.

1015
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1016
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 4: I think Dak and Tony are very very similar in

1017
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: their careers. All right, Mitchell or Michael, sorry about that,

1018
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 4: Thanks for the call. Let's go to Chris and San Angelo.

1019
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how you doing?

1020
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: I'm good man, how are you?

1021
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 8: I'm doing well. I didn't even know you were on.

1022
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 8: I know, I popped it and I saw you and

1023
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 8: I called in the phone range. So it's too surprises

1024
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 8: in the last ten minutes.

1025
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's it's no coincidence that we had a

1026
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 4: lot of first time callers and a lot of callers

1027
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 4: that don't call all the time, just because yeah, we

1028
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: switched it up.

1029
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1030
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I love doing that again.

1031
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: But that's a fine, all right.

1032
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 8: Christ I think I might be maybe a five time call.

1033
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 8: I'm not sure right, No where am since I had

1034
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 8: to come up with something really quick. You were talking

1035
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 8: about Dak with me and a lot of other people.

1036
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 8: We get labeled Dak haters, and.

1037
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 3: But the thing is we're not.

1038
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 8: Do we think that Dak is worth fifty plus million

1039
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 8: a year? No, but I don't either. But I have

1040
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 8: his jersey hanging up in my closet, you know, And

1041
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 8: so it's like, I love him, I want him to succeed.

1042
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 8: But just because I don't think he's worth fifty a year,

1043
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 8: I don't think makes me a hater, you know what

1044
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 8: I mean.

1045
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't.

1046
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 4: It doesn't at all, and I don't even try to

1047
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 4: look at it that way anymore. What I would say is,

1048
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 4: do you think Dak needs to be in the top

1049
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 4: ten highest paid quarterbacks in the league?

1050
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 8: Right?

1051
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: If you think he does.

1052
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 4: If you think he's top ten and he should be

1053
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 4: paid that way, then don't worry about what the number is.

1054
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 4: Because the number got out of control in nineteen eighty

1055
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 4: five when they started making a million dollars a year

1056
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 4: or whatever. It's always been out of control for you

1057
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 4: and me. So my point is is that you think

1058
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 4: he needs to be paid fairly. And if that's the

1059
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 4: case because of what he's going to do, not because

1060
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 4: of what he's done, but what he is going to do.

1061
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 4: If you think he is still going to be a

1062
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 4: top ten quarterback in the next four to five years,

1063
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 4: then he does deserve that that money, regardless of what

1064
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 4: it is.

1065
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 8: Right, Well, I mean that's true. I don't know. I mean,

1066
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 8: it's just, you know, they keep talking about pieces of

1067
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 8: the pie, and that's an awful large chunk whenever you

1068
00:50:59,560 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 8: have a show.

1069
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: No, it's it's a tough way around it. I get it.

1070
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 8: But got to build a team around it. It's tough.

1071
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 4: It's tough to play, uh you know, with that kind

1072
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 4: of money. It's tough to play with a quarterback who sucks.

1073
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 4: So I mean you got to find a middle balance there,

1074
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 4: all right?

1075
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 3: Right on?

1076
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 8: Man, okay, man, I didn't have much. You get a

1077
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 8: chance to check out the movie?

1078
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:23,760
