  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and it is our first off season show of twenty
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: twenty five. First time that we've been able to talk
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: about the season that was or wasn't I guess in
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this case Cowboys seven and ten and then's already on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the clock. Looks like they're gonna pick twelfth. We know
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the opponents for the twenty twenty five season. We don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: know the schedule. Obviously, the schedule will come out probably
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: May after the draft. I don't know a lot of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of things at this point, including coaching situation.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: All the coaches will be free agents. We know we've
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: here rumors and speculations and things like that, and we
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: can talk about some of that, but I want to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: hear from you guys. Aight, aight a eight five five
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: two two ninety seven. Gonna be a little bit of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a different show this time around, so kind of bear
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: with us. Well, we'll take some breaks a little bit
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: at different times, but still gonna have some fun gonna
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: talk about Cowboys football and what they need to do
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: moving forward. So let's get right to the phone lines.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Let's start us off. Anthony and Miami. What's up? Man?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Make the quick? Have a year in my god?
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Have you new year?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: How you doing? Let's be Anthony the Quick? How about that?
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I love it, baby, I love it. I'm gonna be
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: quick and simple. I found the problem in these two weeks.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I took off. I follwed a major issue. And Cole,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna give Lester a shout out, and let's play
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the offensive defense all at the same time until the Cowboys,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: whether whoever is the coach, whether the coach might stage,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: or whoever comes in. You have to fix the red
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: zone issues. Even when we were scoring a lot of
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: points the last couple of years, we couldn't score in
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: the red zone. And look how dangerus we would have been.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: You can't have a weapon like Brandy All but kicking
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: field goals from the twenty two yard line, twenty eight
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: yard line. He's a weapon. He needs to be kicking
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: forties and fifties. So you have to score. And it
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: was hurting us, killing us. So we have to do
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: that and that's my number one issue with the Cowboys
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: going to this new season. That's all I have to say.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Nick, all right, man, appreciate it, Thank you for the call.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't disagree. I've always I've always thought
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that you know, when you can run the football, when
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: they know you're going to run, or when it gets
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: when it gets down there tight inside the ten yard line,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: twelve yard line. Uh, that's where you've got to be
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: able to get three, four or five yards running the football.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And and and it's it's bad enough when you you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: don't think you can even do it where you're just
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: passing the ball all around. You got to get creative
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in the play calling. That's something that I think has
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to get better too. It's not just about not having
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the big guys up front to push people back. You
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: got to get creative and getting guys open and figuring
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: out ways do that. And then you also have to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: have playmakers that can just go win one on one.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: You know, you it's me versus is you. I'm gonna
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: go up and catch the ball. You know you saw
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: McLaurin do it to win the game. Brandon Cooks has
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to do that at times, you know, you got to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: do that CD. You got to win those ferguson you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: gotta come down with that ball. So it's not just
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: play calling, it's not just old line. The playmakers have
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to be have to do what that is and make plays.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: All right, it's going to Chuck D. Bridge City, Texas,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Chuck D.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Chuck.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: What's up man?
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: How you doing good?
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: It's all I got, man.
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: What is your gut feeling?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Is Mike staying or going?
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking he's gonna stay and let's see what you
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: got on that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: All right? Well, uh, I'll tell you what. This has
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: gone back and forth. I I have a feeling he'll
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: probably stay. I I think I think that that he'll
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: That's that's what my gut feeling. I just don't see
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a change being made.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: From that standpoint, I think they'll make some other changes.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I think the coaching staff will look different whether he's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: here or not. But but I I just I think
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that that Jerry has said enough things that that he
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: just respects what Mike has done. And and there's other
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: factors involved too, you know. I think he believes you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: gotta look at contracts, gotta look at coaches contracts. I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people don't think about that because
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: there's no salary cap to it, but it matters. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: look at what coaches get paid. Find out what what
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: McCarthy's getting paid, and then you'll get a better understanding
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of kind of what's happening here. So I think I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: think Mike will come back, but I think it's it's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: close right now. I don't know. I want to say
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it's fifty to fifty, but I think there's some there's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: some other options on the table, but I think at
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I would be really surprised
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if he's not back. I don't know if I talking
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in circles there, but if so, that's kind of what
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I do. All right, let's take one more call before
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: going to break tracks. I have us in San Antonio.
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: What's up, Good afternoon.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: How are you guys doing good? How are you doing good?
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna hit this quick for you, real quick. I'm
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: with you. I think it's fifty to fifty.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Nick.
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: I go back and forth. Every time I see a
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: tweet from a report, it's I go, he's gone, he's back.
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: He's gone, He's back. So it's fifty fifty to me.
• 5:17
  Speaker 9: I do hope if they do move on, I've been saying,
• 5:20
  Speaker 9: I hope they cast a wide net, talk to a
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: bunch of different coaches and get all the different ideas
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: you can on this team, what they would do, who
• 5:27
  Speaker 9: they would bring in. And then lastly, as we get
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: into the draft stuff, I know it's been kicked around.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: Do you take a guy early or late as far
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: as running back goes, And I'm going to say I'm
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: on the minority of IF gents there at twelve. I'm
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: not going away from that guy. I need an incident
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: impact guy, and I need to do the same thing
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: in the second round this year. They can't afford to
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: do the hurt guy or not available guy this year.
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: So let you go and have a great week.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Travis. I appreciate that, and I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: agree that second round pick. You know, if you're not
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: changing up what you do in free agent, see if
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you're if you're not going to go that route and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: do anything different, then you can't afford to have a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: second round pick that that maybe he's gonna hit, maybe
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: he doesn't. I mean, you got to have a good, solid,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a player that's ready, ready to contribute, and other than
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: tray Von Diggs. They really haven't had that that guy
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that They've kind of taken flyers on different players for
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: whatever the reason. I'm with you about the running back though,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I I went and did little research on that. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was playing on writing a story on Dallas Cowboys dot
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Com on that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: But you know the.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: History the last few years. I went back and looked
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: at the last six years of Pro Bowl running backs.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: There's forty different selections of Pro Bowls. Not forty guys
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: because someone guy's gone more than once, but in the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: last forty Pro Bowl selections, your your first and second
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: round picks make up thirty two of those forty forty
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl selections first and most of them in the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: second round. And then there's there's four of them are
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: third round, So thirty six out of forty guys you got.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You got a couple fourth rounders, one was Pollard, you
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: got a fifth rounder undrafted guy, but for the most part,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it's first second round. So yeah, you can you can
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: get a running back in any round. But if you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: want somebody special to really making a difference, you know
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that hasn't changed over the years. Their first second round.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, if it's not genty in the first round,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: then then definitely I'd be looking at somebody in the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: second for sure. All right, let's take our first break

  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline here as we
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: talk about the twenty twenty five off season. Nick Eatman
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: joined by you guys on the phone. We're going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: start it off with start this segment off in Kansas City,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Brian and Kansas City. What's up? Man?
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: Well, first, I just want to apologize for sending the
• 9:27
  Speaker 10: storm your way.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: That's okay, that's all right, We'll be ready.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir, hey, I got My first thought is actually
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: I think it starts with making a decision on Will
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: McLay even before McCarthy, just my personal opinion, that's just
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: what I would like to see. And then for me,
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: my focus would be on fixing the trenches in player personnel.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: What do you think is your focus? Would you want
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: it to be the focus of the Cowboys in player personnel?
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: What would your first choice? B And I'll hang up
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: and listen. Man, have a good one.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Well, it's funny how you say that you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: talk about Will McClay and then also player personnel, which
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is he's the vice president of that. But yeah, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: agree with that Will McClay. I mean, I do what
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I need to do to get him locked up and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to return to the Cowboys next season and years you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: know beyond that, and you know if he wants a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: long term deal, I think he's earned that. And I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: think that you know that's what you need. You want continuity.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You sometimes players have to change, the coaches a lot
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of them change. But if you know your continuity of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of what of what you're looking for here with the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Jones family and and and a guy like Will McClay,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: which you know, I think he knows how to adapt
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: well to the different styles that we're seeing in the game.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So I think he would be great there. As far
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: as I mean he has been great, I think it'd
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: be great to keep him moving forward. Player personnel wise,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm I think there's just so many needs.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I just think you need catalytic players. You just you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: need guys that are gonna be difference makers and and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and that's if that's state in the obvious, then that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: state in the obvious. But I don't I don't have
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to go into this going I gotta have an offensive lineman,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I gotta have a guard. If I don't have Zach Martin,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I gotta have a guard. Or I need the running back,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: or I need that path rusher. I mean, I just
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: think when you're sitting there at twelve, who's there that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you're like, Wow, this guy's still around, you know, Ceedee
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Lamb was there at seventeen. They didn't ever think that,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and they didn't need that. They didn't think, but they're like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: we gotta take this guy. You know, Michah Parsons was there.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: They were thinking about other other spots, but Michah Parson's there,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and Michael Parsons can make a difference. So at twelve,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: there is gonna be someone there. And it's in every
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback that jumps into this going oh he could go
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: top ten, do it, Get up there, get in there
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and push people back, push push good players back. That's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: what happens. So I could if it's a pass rusher
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: next to Micah, bring it. If it's an offensive tackle, okay, guard, yes, linebacker, well,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: he's gonna to be a bad asset at linebacker at
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: twelve to do that. But either way, I just think
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you have so many needs it didn't have to be
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: one thing. But but you know, somebody's going to stop
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the run on defense, so that's going to have to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: happen in the draft or definitely in free agency as well.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Irene Falls Church, Virginia.
• 12:24
  Speaker 15: Hey, hey, good afternoon.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Are you so late?
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: So weird?
• 12:27
  Speaker 15: So late? I'm good, I'm good. So it's over, the
• 12:31
  Speaker 15: season is over. We can we can send this one
• 12:33
  Speaker 15: to the moon on a rocket ship because I cannot
• 12:36
  Speaker 15: say it was fun.
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: But you know what, this.
• 12:38
  Speaker 15: Show and the friendships we developed over the last year
• 12:41
  Speaker 15: and a half made it certainly more tolerable to deal with.
• 12:44
  Speaker 15: So that's cool. And usually, if you remember last season,
• 12:48
  Speaker 15: I needed like a long break after the way that season.
• 12:50
  Speaker 13: Ended, right.
• 12:51
  Speaker 15: I don't know if there was just that this one
• 12:53
  Speaker 15: was sort of signs were there that it was over
• 12:56
  Speaker 15: pretty early on or just the friendships again on this
• 12:59
  Speaker 15: sh show. But I don't need to break here, I am.
• 13:02
  Speaker 15: So that's that's kind of cool. I wanted to bring
• 13:06
  Speaker 15: up something, so I brought this up last offseason. I'm
• 13:08
  Speaker 15: a little bit frustrated to hear it again coming up
• 13:11
  Speaker 15: this offseason. But there was a survey that the players
• 13:15
  Speaker 15: do and two things that came up were training staff
• 13:19
  Speaker 15: and weight room. And I know Jane Slater came out
• 13:24
  Speaker 15: with the U and I wouldn't call it a report,
• 13:27
  Speaker 15: but a little a sound bite yesterday that a player
• 13:29
  Speaker 15: mentioned getting more people in the weight room and in
• 13:33
  Speaker 15: the training room to help with injuries. I'm glad that
• 13:37
  Speaker 15: they respect the guys that are there, Brown and you know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 15: but I don't understand why this is still a problem
• 13:45
  Speaker 15: in a multi billion dollar team. But I want that
• 13:49
  Speaker 15: to be fixed. That's my number one, like easy fixed.
• 13:53
  Speaker 15: And then I heard I heard what you said about
• 13:55
  Speaker 15: you know, leaning towards Mike coming back. So if that's
• 13:58
  Speaker 15: going to be the case, then then I need a
• 14:00
  Speaker 15: new play caller. And if i'm Jerry, that's like my
• 14:03
  Speaker 15: one non negotiable.
• 14:04
  Speaker 13: Yeah, all right, that's just for me. I'm sure I'll
• 14:06
  Speaker 13: talk to.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Irene. You know that that might be the sticking
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: point in these conversations of we're gonna have to do
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: some changes here. We're gonna have to make changes in
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the play calling. And if and if that's something that
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that you know, is something something that Mike won't budge on,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: then maybe that that will be Again I say this,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: maybe I mean I agree with you, Irene. I don't
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: know if if that's if that's what Jerry has to have,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you know, has to have happened here, but they've they've
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: got to do something different. And in the offense, the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: play calling, and you red zone all that. I mean,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I think that the way the analytics are now in
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the NFL is that teams know what you're, what you do,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: what you like to do. So you've got to figure
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: out a way to do things different all the time,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and and and have a mixed bag of stuff. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you can't just say, well, this is what works for me.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: It's not high school where where you could just run
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: over people and they can't stop it. Now they can
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: stop things here. You've got to figure out how to adapt.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And I think that's something that just has to happen there.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So but but you know, I agree with you when
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it comes to when it comes to Mike on the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: play call them, I think that there has to be
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: some kind of changes there. All right, let's go to
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Zach in Atlanta.
• 15:23
  Speaker 16: Nick, how are you, buddy good?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 15:26
  Speaker 16: I'm good man. Hey, I just want to say thank
• 15:29
  Speaker 16: you ten times over to you, to Beam everybody for
• 15:33
  Speaker 16: doing this show. Really means a lot. Sad to see
• 15:37
  Speaker 16: the season go, but the off season is beginning. But
• 15:41
  Speaker 16: just a question and I'll get out of here. For you,
• 15:45
  Speaker 16: what are one or two moments you're going to carry
• 15:48
  Speaker 16: with you from this season, and then where does this
• 15:51
  Speaker 16: season rank for you as far as what you've covered,
• 15:56
  Speaker 16: you know, over the years. So so I got man,
• 15:58
  Speaker 16: thank you.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks well. I think this will be remembered as the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: season where fill in the blank happened. It's just there's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: just weird things that happened this year. And so when
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you think about, you know, the time that Trayvon Diggs
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: comes out of the locker room and you're starting to,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, argue with a reporter, or the time Jerry
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: tried to fire people on the fan, you know in
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the middle of the season, or the time that there
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: was falling debris from the from the roof at the stadium,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: or that there was a fire at training camp, or
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: or you know, I mean the whole Zeke situation, all
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the injuries that happened there, all all your Pro Bowl
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: guys getting hurt, putting on ir doc included as hamstring
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: comes off the bone on the days having his best
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: rushing performance. I mean, you name it. You know, from
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the sun the sun at at and T Stadium to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the sun here at the Star, I mean, can't get
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: away from it. It was it was comical at times
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't I mean, if you didn't if you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: didn't laugh, you'd cry. So it was that type of season.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I'll just remember from all the unique things that happened there,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and you know, in some some cool moments, some cool plays.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been here twenty six seasons now. That
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Turpin touchdown against Washington is going to be a top
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: ten forever. I mean, it's just not going to be beaten.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: There would he Danceler Turpin? Those two, right, there were
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: two of the best plays that I've ever seen covering
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: this team. All Right, we have time for Mike Leskoto,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Michael and Bowling Green Kentucky.
• 17:34
  Speaker 17: All right, so you can get to the break. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 17: just got two quick questions for you, Okay, all right.
• 17:39
  Speaker 17: The first one, You've known Jerry a long time, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 17: I'm sure you see him here and there. He was
• 17:44
  Speaker 17: on Landman Sunday, and I really liked what he is. Well,
• 17:51
  Speaker 17: you know, he played himself, but what he said about family,
• 17:55
  Speaker 17: his family and everything is that Jerry is that pretty Jerry.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Jerry wasn't acting at all. And I love the show.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: By the way I watched, I've seen every episode. I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: didn't know he was going to be on it. It
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: made me even more excited to go watch it that
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: night Sunday. But but yeah, I love the show and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: he's perfect for it, you know, because that's Texas. It's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: it's oil, it's all that. But what he was saying
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: is exactly what he would tell a group of sponsors
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that came up here to talk about, you know, working
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. He would be emotional like that, he
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: would talk about working for his family. And so I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: thought it was it was outstanding, and I thought he
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: did a great job.
• 18:41
  Speaker 17: So the other quick one, what is there any chance
• 18:45
  Speaker 17: of Tarik Heal? I'm sure you've already been asked, but
• 18:49
  Speaker 17: I hadn't heard anything about it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Any chance, all right, Well, thanks Michael for the call.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that I can answer that question. I don't think so.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a chance there. I think, you know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it's tough enough to pay one of the top receivers
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: in the league in Cdee Lamb, to take on a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: contract like that for Tyreek Hill. I just don't see
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that being the case. You know, it's bad enough with
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: quarterback and the receiver and then having to pay Micah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You add him in there. That just doesn't really make
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: sense for what they're looking to do. So all right,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: let's go to break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: right back after this.
• 19:26

• 20:38
  Speaker 1: little bit of a different show today.
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: We've talked about in the past, what we tape a
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: TV show out of this as well that airs here
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: locally in the Dallas Fort Worth and area. So able
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to kind of do that, having to be change up
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the format a little bit where we took a couple
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: of breaks, but and remember, we'll be back on every Wednesday.
• 20:58

  Speaker 1: we'll be able to do that every Wednesday, and that

  Speaker 1: starts tomorrow as well. But still we're talking football, talking
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Cowboys here right now. Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida is next,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: so we'll go to Robbie.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: What's up, hey, Nick?
• 21:25
  Speaker 19: How are you today?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Good? How are you?
• 21:28
  Speaker 19: I'm awesome, man. It was a great season because I
• 21:31
  Speaker 19: enjoyed watching every single game my Cowboys played, and it
• 21:35
  Speaker 19: was a roller coaster and I got to bent when
• 21:38
  Speaker 19: it was bad to you. And it's going to be
• 21:41
  Speaker 19: a great season next year, I hope. My comment is,
• 21:45
  Speaker 19: I hope we spend a little bit more. I don't
• 21:47
  Speaker 19: know about money, but how about be more aggressive and
• 21:50
  Speaker 19: free agency with the needs that we need decide just
• 21:54
  Speaker 19: our own players. I know sometimes I'll actually I'll just
• 21:57
  Speaker 19: let you talk about that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right, Robbie. I appreciate that, and
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you calling you know you you you called
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: as much as anybody really top three or four this year.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, uh for that, and not only
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: not only the consistency and the calls, consistency in the approach,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the mindset, the outlook. Uh never wavered.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: It's not an easy show when the fans are restless,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and I know that you want them to win, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you also came about it the right way. Thank you
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: so much. I appreciate that. And always asking about always
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: asking about my my family, my kids. That's it's genuine
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate it so uh. Thank you for the call, Robbie.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Thank you all right.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: You know, free agent wise, I I hear what they
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: what the Cowboys say they don't have the money, they
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: don't have the money to do all that, Well, I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: think they can get creative. And by getting creative, I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I would be okay sacrificing you know, all of the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: players that they're trying to resign where let's say that
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: they've got to get. You know, they got twenty two
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: free agents, so they're gonna sign thirteen or fourteen. Some
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of them are gonna be re signed. I'm okay with
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: making it ten and one or two of them are
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: are a little bit high priced from another team. I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: just I just think that's what this team needs. I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: think the fans need it. I think the other stars
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: in the locker room need that too. And yes, you
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: know you want to resign some of your own players,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: but nobody really looks at free agency is signing your
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: own No one thinks about that. You know, I've done
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: this analogy before you. Everybody that's got kids will understand this.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: When you say, hey, you're gonna get a toy, they're
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: thinking new toy. They're not thinking about the one. Oh
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you get to keep the twenty seven you have up here.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: They're like, well that doesn't count. I want this one.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: So that's what fans think about free agency too. They're like,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I want this guy. So if you tell them all
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: of the guys you're going to resigns like, yeah, that's good.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And there's some guys that you want to bring back.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But I think this team needs some new toys and
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and and that's that's what needs to happen. And they
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: need to figure out a way to even if it's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: one guy, figure out a way to make a splash,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a splash free agent move because I think I think
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: this fan base needs it. I think this team needs
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: that as well. Let's go to Davian and Illinois. Davian,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: what's up, Davion? What's up?
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: I'm going on?
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: Nick? How you guy?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Not much?
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: Man?
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Just joined the snowy weather. We got up here, all right,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: trying to stay warm.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: What's on your mind?
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I guess a burning question I would have,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: and uh, I know, I just wish someone would ask
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Jerry this. I'm just I'm really curious of the answer. Uh,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: why does it take so long big decisions to make
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: a decision? When you allude to the Hayes in the barn,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: but we still kind of just chilling well, how do
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you know he's chilling?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, because he hasn't made a decision.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean one way or the other. I mean,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I meet Away, I told you I'm I'm
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I'm true blue, so I like you Away, but I'm
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: just it's kind of wow.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know that. That's what makes me think
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: there's other factors here, you know. And uh, the longer
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it goes on, the less that i'm you know that,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I think, well, I'm leaning towards McCarthy coming back. But
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the longer this goes out, this goes on, makes me
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: think there's other there's other things in play here, other
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: other coaches maybe that he's looking at or or or
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you know, not not necessarily meeting with, inquire about or whatever.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So to seeing who's out there, because that's what you're
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: always trying to do. You're always trying to see what
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: are my chances here of I mean, am I bringing
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: McCarthy back versus who who's available? So I think some
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: of that's going on as well. I don't think anyone's
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: chilling around doing nothing. I think that there's some there's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: still some decision to be made. When he said, hey,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: in the barn He he clarified of nothing McCarthy could
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: really do as far as changing his mind worth a game,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you know, whether they beat Washington or lose in the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: final two seconds or whatever.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that game, That game was interesting, I would say.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, of course I had our ridicted or loss anyway,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: but it was actually impressive from trades respective, which I mean,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: like I said, I think he should he should give
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: a chance to come back to be the backup. But
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I just the way they used him was just kind
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: of weird. Like in the red zone, why not use
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: it leg more instead of trying to do fade routes
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: to a five to nine receiver agreed and a touch fast?
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Like what are we what are we doing there? I
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: don't understand, but something to hear there. And that's kind
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: of the reason why I've been I've been moved on
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: from from Mac as a coach. I just, uh, it
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: was just curious to see that that we have, We
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: had opportunity maybe to win that game with Trey LANs
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: at quarterback, and it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: Just was kind of just yeah, well, just not really done.
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you there. Thank you, Davian,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Thanks again for the call. Appreciate that. Good to hear
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: from you. And you know, I didn't like to play
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: calling it, and to the point where I was kind
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of wondering, is there more to this? I mean, are
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: they are they trying to just see him throw the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: ball into the end zone or I mean, is this
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: is this more than than saying we want to, you know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: win this game here. And I mean, because you know,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: if you're not gonna if you're going to just have
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: him pass the ball in, then probably kick the field
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: goal right before the half, go up nine to three,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: knowing you're going to get the ball back, you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to start the third. And they went down and got
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: a field goal, and they did make it nine to three.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So you know that that might have been a little
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: bit different if if you play it that way. But
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: it felt like, Okay, we know we could run it,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: and we know you know that Trey could run it,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: but what we don't know is this. It felt like
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: preseason type approach with the way way that went down,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And so I don't know. I mean, I know they
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: were trying to win the game, but I felt like
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: they were trying to evaluate just as much. So that's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: why it was just weird to kind of look at
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it from that perspective. All right, let's go to Sebastian
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and Savannah Georgia.
• 28:36
  Speaker 20: Sebastian, Hey there that good afternoon, mister, even how we
• 28:41
  Speaker 20: doing good?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Good? Thank you appreciate it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 20: Hey, I'm doing well myself. I am a If what
• 28:48
  Speaker 20: you're saying is true, why not do it the game
• 28:50
  Speaker 20: before that as well? Then you know and that that
• 28:53
  Speaker 20: gets directly into my point. There was some managerial and
• 28:56
  Speaker 20: some coaching malpractice going on this season as far as
• 28:59
  Speaker 20: the hand handling of a lot of players. Bringing back
• 29:02
  Speaker 20: Ezekiel Elliott, it goes all the way back to training
• 29:04
  Speaker 20: camp and stashing him like you were going to have
• 29:07
  Speaker 20: be a big part of the season. There was a
• 29:08
  Speaker 20: lot of weird things happening this year. And one of
• 29:12
  Speaker 20: our biggest issues with management is the one year deal
• 29:15
  Speaker 20: system that they use a lot of the times. Is
• 29:18
  Speaker 20: often going to come back to buy them, because I
• 29:19
  Speaker 20: feel like that's something that you do when you're in
• 29:22
  Speaker 20: the running for a Super Bowl or this year is
• 29:24
  Speaker 20: our year. We just need a couple of pieces. We'll
• 29:26
  Speaker 20: get one year deals, see how it works out. They
• 29:28
  Speaker 20: can help the team out. We move on. We get
• 29:30
  Speaker 20: to the playoffs. But this particular year, we knew that
• 29:34
  Speaker 20: a lot of this was going to come back to
• 29:35
  Speaker 20: by this in the butt, we had a lot of
• 29:36
  Speaker 20: free agents, so we know that now we're not going
• 29:39
  Speaker 20: to be big free agent players, especially in the first
• 29:41
  Speaker 20: days like we always like we usually are. So when
• 29:43
  Speaker 20: you're talking about the draft and meeting the draft picks,
• 29:48
  Speaker 20: probably more of this upcoming season than ever. Why are
• 29:51
  Speaker 20: you trying to win once you're mathematically eliminated, is my question.
• 29:55
  Speaker 20: I'm not saying tank the game, but you know that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 20: when you play Trey Lance instead of having Cooper Rush
• 29:59
  Speaker 20: played three quarters. You see what you have in Trey Lance.
• 30:02
  Speaker 20: You see what you have, dudees fine, and then you
• 30:03
  Speaker 20: go and you cut Ezekiel Elliott the following week. A
• 30:07
  Speaker 20: lot of what they did this year didn't make a
• 30:09
  Speaker 20: lot of sense. So if you can just shine some
• 30:11
  Speaker 20: might on that. And the one thing that I think
• 30:12
  Speaker 20: that they really need to focus on and maybe switch
• 30:14
  Speaker 20: up is a type of receiver that they go after.
• 30:17
  Speaker 20: We seem like we go after a lot of the
• 30:19
  Speaker 20: Noah Brown types. We need some speed. You know, I
• 30:21
  Speaker 20: was looking at my hometown team in Detroit. Those boys
• 30:24
  Speaker 20: are fast, and if we're going to compete with Philly
• 30:26
  Speaker 20: and Detroit and Minnesota, we need so much more speed
• 30:30
  Speaker 20: on both defense and offense. But you guys, have a
• 30:32
  Speaker 20: great day. Thanks for taking my call, all.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Right, all right, appreciate it. I think I think the
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: last few games of the season got caught caught up
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: in different people's agendas, and fans included, you know, because
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you gotta remember, and I've said this before, if you're
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a diehard fan and you're calling this show that, then
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: you are. You're going to be the fan of the
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Cowboys in twenty twenty five, you know that, And you're
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: going to be a fan of the Cowboys in twenty
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty seven. And all that diehard fans that
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: call this show aren't going anywhere, even the ones that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: threatened to do so, they're not. Okay, this just doesn't
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: happen that way. And we know that. That being said,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: it's easy to look at, well, why not do this?
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Do that, But you're asking players and coaches that don't
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: have that same luxury. These coaches, these thirty coaches on
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the staff, none of them have a contract for next year.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: They need to win, They need their guys to perform
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: well in the games. They need to do that. So
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you know, if and if Jerry stepped in and said no, no,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: he's playing, he's playing, and that that got out, y'all
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: would be the first one up in arms about jer See.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: That's the problem with Jerry. He does this, He needles
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: in all this kind of stuff. So so I think
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: from a coaching standpoint, there was a different agenda, you
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. If they're not gonna tell Mike
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: McCarthy he's back and get him a contract, then why
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: should he be coaching for next year when he doesn't
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: know he's gonna be here for next year. Go win
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the game, Go beat Philly, Go beat don't don't have
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: a losing record, go win, Go with two games, finish
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: nine and eight and and with a win against Philly.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: And as bad as that game looked on the scoreboard
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: at the end, if you watch that game and you
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: saw how it was being played, there was a chance
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: to to for that game to be completely different. They
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: turned the ball over than one team that had a
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: lot more playmakers started making plays and it went snowballed
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: from there. But you know, it's just it's it's hard
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to come back now and say why are they doing this?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Why are they doing that? These coaches, these players, they
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: don't have a contract next year. They got to go
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: out and win and do the best that they can
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to put themselves on tape one way or another for
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: whether it be this team or another team. All right,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: it's going to Ali and Florida.
• 32:49
  Speaker 13: METSA good afternoon.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: But you're good. I'll make it quick.
• 32:53
  Speaker 13: I know you were short Listen. If these couple of
• 32:56
  Speaker 13: weeks is going to be too much as stress for
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: you bringing Jake up on a family to Florida, you
• 33:02
  Speaker 13: go to Dzebo. I know plenty of nice pizza places
• 33:05
  Speaker 13: for Jacob.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I know he loved pizza.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he'd be okay.
• 33:10
  Speaker 13: I just called him, say I love you, thank.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: You, all right, appreciate that. Ali, appreciate that. Love you too.
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's all. It's all you call for, say,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: come to Florida and eat pizza. Like all right, Well,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I know Jacob would be like done. If I can
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: get out of school, he'd be in. He went back
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: to school today and he was, he was. He was
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: already already asking about snow days. Is it possible to
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: have snow days. Been out twenty two days now, he's
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: already You're not even at school yet. We'll get another
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: snow day. Probably gonna happen the way it looks like.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: All right, well, I don't have anything for that. I'll
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: le just thanks again for all the support and all
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the you know, just when you call, always have great attitude. Uh,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: speaking of great attitudes, kidding, let's go to Robin Vegas.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: Roy, what is man?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: How are you you?
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: I'm good, I'm good.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you called.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: You know, we're talking about you know, Jerry needs to
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: make a splash in free agency, and for the fans, no,
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: you need to make a move in free agency to win,
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: to win a championship. That is the only way you
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: win the championship. In today's NFL. The difference between Philadelphia
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: and Dallas is their aggressive in trades in the draft,
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: trading up and free agency. It's not their quarterback, it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: not their coaching. It's look at the difference makers of Philadelphia,
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: their free agents, AJ Brown, Saquon Barkley, uh and and Jerry.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know what happened to Jerry over the years,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: but when did Jerry get comfortable.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: With just making the playoffs.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: Remember, Jerry used to always talk about the super Bowl
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: in every offseason going back I don't know how when,
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: and he catched flack and as a Cowboy fan, you know,
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: even to this day, my friend will always say, you
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: guys always think you're gonna win the super Bowl. You
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: know you notice you don't hear that no more.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Now it's now.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: The Dallas Cowboys now are like the Cleveland Brown Cleveland
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: should be happy to make the playoffs. You know, Detroit,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: before they got really good, would be happy to make
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: the playoffs with the Dallas Cowboys with some of the
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: best players. And Jerry now talks like making a playoffs. Yeah,
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: I'm good with that. No, hell no, if you're not
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: winning a super Bowl, you're not winning. You think you
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: think you think Detroit, let's go, let's go back what
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: five years they were? They were awful. You think if
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Detroit doesn't win the super Bowl this year they considered
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: this a good year, Absolutely not, it'd be disappointing. And unfortunately,
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Jerry's gotten comfortable. I don't know if that's age, I
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: don't know if that's eleven billion dollars, don't know what
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: it is, but he doesn't talk the same. He doesn't mean.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this though, if if he lets
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy go okay, I hope so okay. But if
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: then how can you make the argument that he's okay
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: with making the playoffs? If if like, if he's okay.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: If he's only okay with making it to the playoffs,
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: he doesn't care if this team doesn't advance two.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: WHOA, then why would you let go a coach that
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: that that can, that has the record that he has
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and has has had When this quarterbacks healthy, they're twelve
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and five. That's three years in a row. So keep
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: your quarterback healthy. Figure out a way to do that.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: So if he moves on from that, he's not. He's
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: not telling you he's fine with the playoffs. He fired
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: chan Gaily two years after when he made the playoffs
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: two years so I think he's ever been a coach
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: that's been just okay with the playoffs.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I well, I honestly think last year and this year
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: are the first two years since he's on this team
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: that the heat is on him. We always overlooked to Jerry.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: We looked at the players, we looked at the coaches.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: We looked at whoever, But now we're looking at him,
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: you know, because he's the constant. That front office is
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: the constant. Now, yeah, I agree that he wants to win.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: He just doesn't want to do what it takes to win.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: He's not stupid. He knows I could free up money.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: I could go for it. I should go for it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: What is holding Jerry back?
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: In your opinion?
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Why do the Cowboys? Okay, we talked about one hundred million,
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: so let's say eighty mone. We know they could free
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: up the money. I don't care what happens in twenty
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: twenty nine. I may not be here. What is holding
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: him back from saying I could. I could build around
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: Dak Micah and CD. I could go for it this year.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: I could go get me a Mike Rabel. Yeah, I
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: could throw I could throw fifteen million up, Ben Johnson whatever,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: and I could go for it and I got four
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: year with a wise What is holding Jerry and Steven
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: back from doing that? In your work?
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: You know, Robi, I can't. I can't tell you that
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: because here, here's why I don't. Here's this is what's
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: baffling to me. He won't pay fifteen million for a coach.
• 38:33
  Speaker 20: He won't.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I know there's no tax I don't get I don't
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: and I don't understand that based off of the way
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys do things here, bigger, better and all that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: You know you don't.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell Nick. I'm going to give you my
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: reason and I get off. I'll tell you why he
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: still thinks this is nineteen ninety two, ninety three and
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: that it's a privilege to coach and play for the
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: That is over.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: The Dallas Cowboys are no better than any other team
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: on the field. It's not a privilege anymore. Ben Johnson
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: doesn't need to go coach for Dallas. Dallas isn't such
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: a prime place anymore because of Jerry and Steven, and
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: they're not willing to spend in free agency. That's I
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: think the biggest deal. I think coaches could put up
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: with a medaling owner if they're giving them the tools.
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: But these coaches look around and said, this dude won't
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: spend in free agency. If he's not going to spend
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: a free agency, I can't win. I can't win a championship.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: So that's the only reason why I think he won't
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: drop the dime like you said, and pay the money
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: to these big coaches.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why. And thanks for the call, Rob,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Remember we're coming back tomorrow back to sort
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: of our normal time slot, nine thirty two, about almost eleven.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: We'll get to go about hour and fifteen, hour and
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Thanks for that. You know, it's it's getting
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: into the mind of Jerry Jones has not been easy.
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: Now.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: You did say you think the last couple of years
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: is when the heat's been on him. I don't know
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: about that. I think the heat was on him ever
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: since he fired Tom Landry in nineteen eighty nine, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: it's stayed on him. It's been warm forever.
• 40:15
  Speaker 19: Now.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: It's not not a hot seat because you can't fire himself.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying the heat has stayed on Jerry Jones.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I'll differ there. But you know, if Mike McCarthy comes back,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I looked at this. I looked at the
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: salaries and I said this earlier. Just google that. Just
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: google top top twenty salaries of head coaches. There's an
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: article it'll be right there. Look at that and look
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: where McCarthy is on that list, and look at where
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the guys ten eleven, twelve million that haven't ever been
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Look at that and then and I'll
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: tell you why when Jerry says, I'd like, I think,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: you know, who better can I get than Mike McCarthy,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: they should say for that price? So you got a
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: super Bowl winning coach that that that has won a
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: super Bowl and he's had a lot of success, and
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: he's and he's at that level. Again, I don't necessarily
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: understand it because there's no cap, but that's that's kind
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: of the way it is. And so if Mike McCarthy
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: comes back, I think money is going to be a
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: big factor into that. All right, let's go to Randy
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: and Texas Cana. Randy, what's up?
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: Other? Mom? Where have you been?
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I've been here. I've been here. I've been here. Where
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: where you've been?
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: I've been right here? Dude, I missed the show. I
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: just my word is killing me. I can every time
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: I try to call, I look up and the show's
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: over and I'm like, I'm missing.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Appreciate well, I appreciate it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I know you guys work hard, and I know you
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: know when we moved the time slots around, and you
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: guys being able to figure it in, figure it out
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and call us. I appreciate you. Can't do the show
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: without you, guys, can right, So what's up? Man?
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: I'm not lied. I just wanted to also call in
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: and say how much I love you guys. I'll leave
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: it off of man. Every time I hear that dude
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: even speak, I just smile. And I just wanted to
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: say I appreciate him. Everybody always throwing my name out there,
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: even though I hadn't caught in in a while. I'm
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: still with you guys, just hanging there with me. It's
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: hard for me to get through. But the only football
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: thing I was wanting to say is I haven't. Of course,
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: I've been busy, so I hadn't got to hear all
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: the subjects. But and if y'all've already talked about this,
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: cut me off. But there's a certain fellow that looks
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: like the incredible Halt up north, and since he's attached
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: to a team, will say, his name is Smiles Merit
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: and he's from Texas. If I were you Nick, the
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: next time you robin elbows with Steven, I would plant
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: a little bug in his ear and saying, hey, you
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: know we don't always hit with that first pick. Won't
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: you send one up north and send that fella to
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: our teams? That could you imagine him and Parsons on
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: each end of our line. I could play defensive tackle
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: and they it would be just fine. That would be ridiculous.
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: And he said, oh loud, he wants to have a
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: star in his him, so that'll be pretel. I know
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: you can't say nothing, no, no, I'm doing all the time.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I can, I can. I can speak to that. I
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: can speak to a hypothetical situation where you have a
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: freak of nature that might be pushing thirty years old
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: or whatever. I but, but, but, but freak of nature's
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: can you know? They they can they can do that
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: for a while and play for a while. Yeah, at
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: a high level. I I don't.
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: I would would do it for three years. I would
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: take three years of him over six years.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: Of a maybe.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell you what I would do. And and
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would take the twelfth pick. What
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: you know, because you can get a Michael Parsons. I mean,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I would take the twelfth pick,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: but I would I would see what my forty four
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: could get, the best player my forty four could get,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I would I would look at that. And and you
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: think about now second round picks. You're trading a second
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: round pick, relatively high second round pick. That's that's where
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I would go. And I would be fine doing that,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And and knowing you have to go through the draft,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: but but you could get you could you can get
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: a really good player.
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: Really you think you could get him for that though
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: I kind of think he's like higher parsons to them.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, well, and I'm not talking about any
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: specific hymns, but what I'm saying is, okay, and you
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you can't. But I'm saying, okay, that's probably rich. That
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: player you're talking about in Cleveland, you're gonna probably get
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: a first round pick, if not more than that. What
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is, I would look at the type of
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: other player. There's other players that don't look like that
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: and that that that aren't that accomplished, that are set,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: that could be you could get for a second round pick,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: and and and that would be like your free agency
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: right there. Now. You still got to take their salary
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: and replace it with the second round salary that that
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: you're you know that that you're not paying because you
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: know that that's a factor too, like you need you know,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: that's the thing you got to hit on the draft
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: because you got to get these guys at cheap. But yeah,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I don't hate the idea.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I would probably go down a little bit, but I'm
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: looking at my I would be entertaining the second round pick.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: You could get a you can get a really good
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: football player. You think about what's been traded around for third,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: fourth fifths. You can get a good player for a
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: second round, a pretty high second round pick. That's probably
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: as high as I would go about trading my pick.
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: All right, yeah, all right, and uh, all right, guys,
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: I love y'all and I try to.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: And alrighty no, I hadn't go anywhere, but all right, guys,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: sounds good. Have a good one, see you later. Good stuff.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's go to another Rob. This
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: is Rob in Sydney, Australia.
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: Rob, misterman, how are you doing?
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: First time caller?
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: Very well? How are you? Yes? First time caller? All right,
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: it is lovely.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I have to ask because I don't know. I mean,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: what time is it.
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: It's a it's about a quarter to eight in the
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: morning here on Wednesday.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Wednesday. Nice.
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so usually when you guys are on it till
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: like about two or three in the morning.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: So nice. So it's January the eighth.
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: There you go on White Ahead, you are.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we've ever had that. I don't
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: know if anyone's ever called in on a different day.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: This is awesome. Well what's what's You've.
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: Had one person from Melbourne, Australia.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: That's right, we did. You're right, we did have one
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: from there, all right. Not from Sydney though, Rob. What's
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: on your mind? What do you got?
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll keep this short. I don't often get to
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: get through, but I just wanted to express to you
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: and all the other podcasts, they're just how important these
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: shows are to the people here. We often get the
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: games on delay on a Sunday or a Monday here,
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: and we're quite often at work when the games are
• 47:19
  Speaker 7: being played, So I usually listen to all the podcasts
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: in the lead up to the game while the game's
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: actually on, and then come home and watch it on delay.
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: But having followed the team for forty years and going
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: back to the dark old ages where I used to
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: have to wait a month for magazines to get delivered
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: for information. You guys just make a world of difference
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: to following this great team here in Australia.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for saying that. I appreciate that. And
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: it sounds like you're the one doing a lot of
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: the hard work there and having to get the podcast
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: and stay up late and early and all that kind
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: of stuff to see what's going on and cas up
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: on all the news, and appreciate that. I know what
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: The wealth of information you guys provide is just great.
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: And you know, being on the Storyliners group this year
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: has added just another dimension to things. Being able to
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: converse with other fans and get information from such knowledgeable
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: people there like Dylan. It's it's it's been great, a
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: real a real game changer for for followers here compared
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: to the eighties and nineties, when you know you could
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: barely even watch a game, let alone get information like
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: we do now.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Sure for sure, Well that that's it's so awesome man
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: that I'll ask you this, what do you think this team?
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: What what would be the number one priority this team
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: has to do to get better next year.
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, that is a large question. There's obviously
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: way more than just one priority. Sure, I think play
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: call on the offense is probably the first thing that
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: needs to get fixed, and from there you can start
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: to address personnel. But obviously a massive draft coming up,
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: because it's unlikely we're going to be hugely active in
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: free agency, just going on history and what we can
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: actually do the reality of it. But I think the
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: biggest thing we need to change is the offensive play calling.
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: I don't mind Mike McCarthy as a head coach. I
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: think he's obviously got a great relationship with players, but
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: the play calling might have just been lacking in creativity,
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: and I think that's something we need to address first.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't disagree there, and I think if you're
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: bringing back, even if you bring back McCarthy, I think
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: that needs to be addressed one way or the other.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: That may be an awkward conversation, but it has to happen.
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it might be, but you know there's lots of
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: those in business.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Now, there you go. He certainly is, well, you got
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: anything else?
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: No, No, that's it.
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: I just really wanted to get across my appreciation for
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: everything you guys in the other podcast. It's been great
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: Chris especially obviously across all of them.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Without a doubt, he's the common denominator to all of them,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: so he does a great job. And thank you so
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: much for calling. And it's good to hear from you
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: from sitting in the Australia on a Wednesday. And as
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Chris pointed out, we'll be back Thursday for you. It'll
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: be Wednesday's show as well. But let's go one more
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: caller before we take a last break.
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: Champ.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: He's in Nebraska, Nebraska. How are you.
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: I'm wonderful man. Well, actually I'm a little under the
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: weather for the last couple of days, but I'm on
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: the up and up. I think that's good. That's good. Hey,
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: quick question. I've been listening to the show and listening
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: to people talk about potential other players. I don't want
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: to get into any of the tampering issues that I
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: know that you guys could get in trouble with, but
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: the talks you've had about two different players listening to
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: one on five point three of the Fan this morning, Bobby,
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: but I was talking about how they could make the
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill thing work, you know, a second round pick,
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: and the I think the salary he said we'd have
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: to spend or pay. I believe if I'm not a
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: the contract you will understand all the cap stuff. But
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: for basically about three to four million dollars is what
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: we would owe him for one year. Of course, he'd
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: probably want to restructure his deal or sign for a
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: long term or something. And my question is would you
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: rather have Tyreek or Miles Garrett if we could get
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: him for a second round pick? With that, I'll let
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: you go answer and look to talk listening tomorrow, maybe
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: talk to you. I have a good one.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, thanks for the call. I appreciate
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: that you're you're pairing in both those scenarios. You're pairing
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: a great player with another one, and two great wide receivers.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: UH could be dangerous. Uh if you don't win in
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: the game, it's not gonna be fun too. Two great
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: wide receivers that have a history of chirping after they
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: don't get the football. And it's hard to make that
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: that happy. I mean hard to make them happy. Now,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: winning the games helps, but it's tougher to do that
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: because they don't meet at the football. You don't throw
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the football. Two receivers meet at the football. See where
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going with this. You get two pass rushers on
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: the other side. Let's see who can get to the
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: quarterback first. They can be that could be dangerous. So
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: if you're asking me one or the other, I would
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: I would say the pass rusher because because if, if,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: if that guy gets two sacks in the first half,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: and Micah Parson's probably a little pissed off, that that's
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: good for for the Cowboys. A pissed off Michah Parsons
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: is never a bad thing, you know, pissed off lions.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: So both would be nice. But two great pass rushers
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: that would be pretty awesome. There, All right, one more
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: break here on Cowboys storyline. Will be right back to
• 53:02

  Speaker 2: The Cowboys storyline.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: All right back here on Cowboys storyline. It's been a
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: fun show being with you guys. Been a fun season
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: all season long. We're not we're not done obviously off season.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: We just transition to the off season. But certainly the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: daily grind of everything, it's been. It's been fun to
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: to share it with you guys. Against our second year
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: of Cowboys storyline has been certainly a lot of fun.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: The season didn't go like like we had hoped it
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: would you know, a lot of ups and downs, a
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: lot of crazy moments that that happened here. Some some
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: some fun games, some some good wins, some just just
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: unique things that that happened all all year long.
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, like with everything in football, there's a
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: cycle and you just just say, hey, it didn't go
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: this year, get right back on the horse. We'll do
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: it again next year and so and then that's what's
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: kind of fun about the off season. We to see
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: we know the opponents, the twenty twenty five opponents where
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to be, got some trips to
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: to you know, Chicago and Detroit, Denver, Vegas. You know
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the Carolina go to New York twice with the Jets.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: So you know it'll be tough. It'll be a challenging
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: schedule for sure. But you know, we'll see what happens
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: here in free agency first, then the draft. I just
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: think that that I've said it before, they need catalytic
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: difference making players. Those kind of guys will help this
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: football team. And that it could really be at any position.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: There's only a couple of positions that you probably wouldn't
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: even entertain through free agency or the draft. That being said,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: if it's an affordable price, go go get a go
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: make a splash for the player. You know, I think
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: it is good for the fans. I think it's good
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: for this team if you can get some some difference makers.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Good for the other players in the locker room to say, hey,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: we're committed here, we're bringing these guys in. Good for
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the coaches obviously to have some some difference makers, because
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: you know, you can have two solid players or one
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: different and maker that makes that average player into solid.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: You know, great players make other players great as well.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: So I think they need to maybe shift a little
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: bit of philosophy on what they do in free agency
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: and maybe make a splash move or two, because I
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: certainly think that would help this team moving forward. Again.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: You know, if it's a running back, I said it.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys need to go first or second
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: round with running back. History is showing that those guys
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: are good making the Pro Bowl. Defensive tackle, defensive line,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: pass rush, offensive line. You really can't go wrong with
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: getting some guys in here. So that's kind of what
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I think the offense, I mean, the plan should be
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: moving forward here. All right, It's been a fun show
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: we will see you next time. I remember every Wednesday
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: morning on Cowboys storyline for Chris Bam. I'm NICKI even
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: see you.
• 56:45
  Speaker 11: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 56:49
  Speaker 11: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
