  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Cowboys. This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. What is up?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman here Thursday, March
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, and let's talk Cowboys football. That's what we do.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Talk draft, talk free agency. That won't take long, No,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: but it really hasn't won't take long unless you want
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to talk about the guys leaving. Nothing's really happened here
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of I guess the last week
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: or so. Real they haven't seen a lot of activity.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Its slowed down a little bit. Today at the Star
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: was kind of a unique thing going on the Big
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Twelve Pro Day. The all the teams in the in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve who will be competing next year. That
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: excludes Texas and Oklahoma, but but those teams currently in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve brought their players in for a pro day.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Instead of scouts going all over the place to different schools,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: they all have happened right here at the Star. So
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that's kind of a cool thing. And I get a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: chance to see some of that. I was there for
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit hard to really tell what's going on
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: at a pro day. You know, don't really see the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: times of the forties, or you don't know how fast
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: these guys are doing shuttle runs and all that. But
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: still good to see these guys out there and kind
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of a thing that maybe we'll we'll we'll carry on
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to other places where they'll kind of condense these these
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: pro days probably good for teams, also good for players
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: too for the exposure as well. All right, eight eight
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: eight five five two two nine seven, it's the number
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to call. We can talk about whatever you want. Let's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: start it off. Let's go Dylan in Northport, Florida. Dylan,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: hey man, how are you doing? Good?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I got something on Dak here I wanted to talk about.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: And then a random player that I want you to guess,
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: and it might be a little difficult, but I want
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: to see if you can get this one. If you do,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: you'll be king. I'll recognize you as the Cowboys King
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: because this is.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: A tough one. This might even be tougher doing anything
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, Dak. So go ahead.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: So I went back to all the way back to
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: twenty fifteen, and I looked to all the drafts between
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: then and now, and one hundred and two quarterbacks have
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: been taken. Twenty eight have been first rounders. Four of
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: those guys have made a Super Bowl. One of them
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: has won a Super Bowl. So what that tells me
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: is that people and this is what's so tough about Dak.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: I've never seen the fan base so split on one individual,
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: but for the people that want to move on from
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Dak and just draft a guy and make it work
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: because he has a rookie deal. And there's something to
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: be said about those rookie quarterback contracts. Gives you a
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: lot of firepower and ammunition. But man, it's hard to
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: find the right quarterback on a rookie contract. There's a
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: lot of guys drafted, and not to be fair enough,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: all of them are meant to be starters. A lot
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: of them are drafted to be backups later on develop
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: and who knows, but to pick the right guy, it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: it's harder than you might think, and it's it's basically
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: a lottery. Just because the guy's are first rounder doesn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: mean anything. So I just want people to think about
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: that and do you want to go with what you
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: know and you've been in contention for three years straight now,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: or do you want to reset the whole thing because
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: you don't think that the quarterback should be making the
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: money he's making and start fresh star from scratch and
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: blow the whole thing up. So it's just something to
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: think about.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Right right. I mean, that's and I'll talk about that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: here in a second, because I agree with what you're
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: saying there, and that's and only thing I disagree with.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You've never seen a quarterback where the fan base is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: so split. There's a guy named Tony Romo and that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that seemed to be about the same. That's why Romo
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and Dak's careers are very similar to me. But I'll
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: address some of the other stuff because I think he
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: made Thak some really good points there. Let's keep it moving.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So do you have another you said you have a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: tough one, a challenging question.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Or yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: The only reason I know who this guy is is
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: because he came back to my high school. He went
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: to my high school, graduated in my high school, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: came back in two thousand and nine and coached the
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: football team. So this is the only reason I know
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: this guy. But he was a cowboy. He was drafted
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: out of Syracuse undrafted free agent, sorry, undrafted center out
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: of Syracuse in two thousand and five. He spent a
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: year on the Cowboys practice squad on five six weeks
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: on the practice squad in two thousand and six, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: then went to the Colts same year, and then two
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: thousand and seven Cowboys signed him back off of waivers.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Never played a snap in the NFL, only practice squad
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: guy center out of Syracuse, any idea who that could be?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And he never played for the Cowboys.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Never played a snap an actual game. He was a
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: practice squad guy for two and a half years.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I mean I could. I could sit
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: there and make bad radio, and we could sit there
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and I could think about it. But I'm sorry. When
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it comes to trivia questions, I got to get them quickly.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: If not, we've got to keep it moving. So I'm
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: going to say no on that one. If you never
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: played a game, I'd spend all day trying to think
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: about it. So let's go.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Okay, Mat Trulo is the same big ball guy, Matt.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and no fight. Yeah. There's some parcels ties
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: there right, parcels was yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah. It
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: rings the bell now a little bit. But now, but yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: if you don't play the game, it's hard to keep
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it going. I thought you were gonna say that they
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: had a guy named Kowalski.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's another guy.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was something that was about the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: same era though a little bit, or Bill Nagy or
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: But oh yeah, yeah, I thought this would be a
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: little unfair.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: So that was tough one.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: That was a tough one. Yeah, if you don't play
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the game, that that's the challenge, right, But uh, good one,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: all right, good stuff, all right, thank you appreciate it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You know, going back to the first part of the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Dak stuff, that's that's kind of the dilemma that they're in,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know, is just what do you do?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And that?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And I said this the other day, how do you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: how do you figure out what Dak is? You know?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: What what is he is? He is? He The reason
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: why the fans are split is because he's tough to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: evaluate and and he's better than than the alternative and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a lot for a lot of teams. But then you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: have to wonder if he's good enough to get you
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: there because it hasn't happened yet, and so and the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: stats aren't mind blowing stats. You know, like Marino never
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: got the Dolphins to where they wanted to go, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you know, Drew Brees for a long time didn't get
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: him there, but the stats were so good that you're
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just like, all right, he's gonna you know, he's gonna
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: be there. And and he can make the case, I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: guess for the Burrows and Josh Allen's and guys like that,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, but as as their careers continue to go.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And Burrow got to the super Bowl, to get to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl, so that that'll that helps some. But
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: but what what I'm saying is is that, you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the longer it goes, you know, are you you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: are you going to be like Manning, you know, Peyton
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Manning and Tom Brady or are you Philip Rivers? I mean,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that, It's just that there's guys that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: got there the guys that didn't. And that's where Dek
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is at this point. But do you kind of blow
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the whole thing up because he hasn't gotten there yet.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's just a tough one. It's a tough question, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it's easier said than done. It's easier for you guys
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that that that say cut the cord, just just do it,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: because cutting the cord cost a lot of money to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: do that also, and also and then and then you're
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you're probably not going to be as competitive, and I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: think that's something that that's the one thing that's happened
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: here is the Cowboys are trying to be competitive every year.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: They're trying to be competitive. They've been trying the last
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: few years, they're trying this year, and they're definitely trying
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to stay competitive next year, which is why you're not
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: seeing a ton of spending going on. They're trying to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: roll as much money as you can. And I understand
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: if you don't, if you don't understand the cap as well,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it's not easy to understand. But that's part of what's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: going on here. All right, let's go to another color
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Armando in Mexico City.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: Think how good?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Fine?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Fine?
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Thanks?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Still here.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You know all the opinions on that, and I understand
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the frustration. I mean, yeah, it's always one thing or another.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And but I guess people are some of them are
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: maybe are just too young to remember that limbo we
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: were after Rake when retired and before Romo in those years,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: we even had tried baseball players there. So anyway, I mean,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that is a runner up for MBP, so there might
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: be something I guess.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, you're right, but that is that is
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: what I was just talking about. You know, in the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: same month, he's runner up for MVP and lost to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the Packers in a in a bad playoff loss, all
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in the same month. So that's what makes it so
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: tricky for him.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And we know that of course he's not elite, has
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a very good qureback, but again, there are only four
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: or five big quarterbacks in the NFL, so it's hard
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to peg in that way.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I think there's one. I think there's one, honestly, Yeah,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you say four or five, that's where I get. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: think there's one. And that's why every time someone says,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: well look what the chief, that's totally different. He's winning.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: He's a difference maker. You can get rid of Tyreek
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: kill and he can still win. He doesn't need as
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: many weapons around him. He's amazing. I don't think there's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: anybody like it like him.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree completely. So Nick, now that you have
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: finally in the fifty states, calling nice to do a worldwide.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Oh oh man, I'll be a challenge right there.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Oh you already had this girl called from Russia once,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and then you have Germany and the UK and of
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: cour rule Mexico, so you're in a way.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Canada's Canada has been pretty strong. France. We yeah,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I got in there. But yeah, it's it's not easy.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I would imagine. I'm almost surprised me.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I haven't had more calls from Mexico. So Armando, tell
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: your friends, say, hey, let's go.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to it's hard to get in. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: mean it's not easy.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Well, no of the NFL is going uh international?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah sure.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Now that the Eagles are playing Broil, I hope they
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: get stuck in the Amazon don't come back. But anyway,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: so you have a couple of random cowboys from the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Let's see you can see how old I am.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: Actually there were boats together.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So they're kind of and Billy, Joe Dupre and jays
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Hold maybe you remember them.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I went off the line.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite position? Tight ends? Yeah, all right,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: have a good one. Thanks for the call, boy. I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: walked right into that one, all right, Jay Saldy, Billy
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Joe dupri that that position they played was tight end.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I meant there, all right, Yeah, both those
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: guys played in the eighties. When I first started following
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the team, like early eighties, it was it was Billy
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Joe dupri at the end of his career. Doug Cosby
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was really like the starter, and then Jay Saldy was
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: really good to him. You know, that was just a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: time where the free agency wasn't like this, where you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: had these guys that just played a long time, you know.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And I think Billy Billy Joe dupri is one of
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the more underrated tight ends. But funny story about him.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He came to visit at Valley Ranch one time during
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a practice and this was about when Whitton was like
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: in his fourth or fifth year, and they talked about
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: great tight ends and and and you know, Billy Joe
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, you know, I don't get mentioned as much.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I know there's Novachek, but like nobody's on
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: his level. And he pointed it at Whitting, He said,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: none of us are like him. Somebody, you know, good
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: pass catcher, and I think I was a pretty good blocker.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And he called Novichuk a pretty good pass catcher and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: could do those other things pretty well, but no one's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: doing what Witton did. And I thought that was interesting
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: because a lot of times former players come in and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you know, they kind of like, well, what about me,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you know, and don't don't forget about me what I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: did and that kind of stuff, which is fine because
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: there's truth to that. But I just thought it was interesting,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: how Billy do Duprett. He's like, well, I was pretty
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: good player in my day, but I can't hold a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: candle to this guy right now. And I thought that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: was interesting, and you know, and Jason Whitten, of course,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it was appreciative of that as well. All right,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: let's go to Travis and san Antonio.
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: Nick Thursday, to you you too.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: How's it going pretty good?
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: Pretty good? It's my Friday this week, so I can't complain.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, same. I think we'll see yeah, unless the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Cowboys make some huge moves, but probably gonna be a Friday.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I just wanted to kind of like, kind of
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: similar to Dylan on the first call, just offer up
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: a different perspective on something because I know it's something
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: we've hit on and it's a little bit of it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: maybe a little bit of pushback on you, but I
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: know you're you're always up for it, so I like,
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: I know, I'm I've accepted that, like, and I think
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: most fans have. Obviously, free agency has not sort of
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: come and gone. It's still around, but we're not We're
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: just not going to be like I said, we're not
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: gonna be players early on, and haven't made any moves
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: since you know, getting Jordan back, which I mean, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: was a fan of that one, so that was good.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: But I do take sort of issue with like some
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: fans and maybe even a not a personal shot, but
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: maybe it was a little extent to you just because,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: like I know, just because of the perspective of like
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: we didn't do anything in free agency, and you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: like for instance, Dorian's armstrong when he got signed, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying he's worth it, and it was easy
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: for the Cowboys too, easier for the Cowboys to let
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: him go because we have defensive ends, right. But I
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: was talking to somebody and said, like, it isn't so
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: much that like he's this amazing player, However they may
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: think he has more potential next to Jonathan Allen and
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: Daron Payne and maybe he hasn't tapped that potential yet.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying he's worth fifteen million, but it's always
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: you have to think like the addition from the perspective
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: of the team that he's signing with in terms of
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: like it's just a matter of do they feel like
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: they're getting better, because I feel like a lot of
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: fans like, crap on, like we didn't want that guy anyways.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: He sucked, he sucked, We didn't we don't need him anyways. Yeah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: But then I asked somebody, I was like, can you
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: tell me after they traded Monteses what and Chase Young's
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: who their certain defensive ends were. No, And I asked
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: that question and I didn't know, Like that's all. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: was like, I don't know either. So it's like it
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: I understand, like it's not like you're gonna find you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: in frequency, you're not gonna find all these amazing players.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: But it's just to the point of, like I think
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: for fantasy, was like, just if we feel like we're
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: getting it a little bit better, if were feeling for
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: we're getting a smidge and better in one area, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: I feel like he is better than the two I
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: haven't met anyone yet or when I asked that question,
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: they know, oh yeah was this guy and this guy
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: that played defensive end. So now you know it's like
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: the Doorn's Armstrong and you know he's gonna be a
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: good mate out of low end starter. So I just
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: want to kind of throw that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna go back into tramps A. Do you
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: think that Washington got better? Do you think that they've
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: they've gotten better? Do you think they've think they closed
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the gap a little bit on the Cowboys?
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: I think they've gotten better.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the guys beat him by thirty five and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: twenty eight in two games. So so yeah, and they
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: they got a new coach, they're gonna have a number
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: two pick, they're gonna do something. They're gonna they're gonna
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: get better. They're probably going to close the gap. It's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a big, big gap though right now. So yeah, I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: mean I think you're right they they got better. But
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: also the Cowboys have to make tough decisions. I mean
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that's just what we've talked about. They have to make
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: tough show. You make the call right now, do you
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: want to sign Doorrence Armstrong? You know at Let's fifteen million,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: fifteen million a year.
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying I would, but.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: But but that was the option though. Would you go
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: fifteen million a year?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Or same here? Same way there a million and a half.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: I'm not disagreeing. This is what I'm saying though. It's like,
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: just because we didn't want to sign for fifteen million,
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: it's not worth it to me, right me having a
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: pool at my house.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Maybe not be.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: It might not be worth it with somebody else. Like
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: it's not worth it to me, it's to that team.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: It's kind of like the old the old adage, like
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: one man's trash is in the man's popourri h. That
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: can be the case.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: They don't.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: I don't know their defensive ends, so you can't tell
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: me either. I flip it back at you and say, like,
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: you can't say that he is not better than the
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: two guys you can't name.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but but but does anyone that plays anyone that
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: covers the Tennessee Titans. I'm just random team. Do they
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: know Dorn Armstrong?
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: I'm sure they do. He played the Cowboys. I mean
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: he made we can't actually he made.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: No place he was I'm not saying he made no play.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: He was a very solid rotational player, which to doubt
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: doubt to Dallas's value. No, he's not worth it because
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: he's a rotational pass rusher. But you didn't have I
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: guarantee you we end up paying him that money. If
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: they don't have guys, but they have Micah Parsons and
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Marcus Lawrence, he's probably right there. He's probably getting paid
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: with Sam Williams. Would you disagree.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if if Dorrin's Armstrong would have had
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: eight sacks if he didn't play next to Dorian's Micah
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Parsons or but.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: That's also what Washington's saying that he also hasn't played.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: He also hasn't played next to do to Jonathan Allen
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: and John.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Payne right right, who, by the way, Chase Young did
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and so did Montes Sweat and they traded him, so
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: different different coaches, different style. You got to remember that.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: The I think the biggest point is Dorins Armstrong's best
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: years were when he was with dan Quinn, and so
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: dan Quinn knows that and he's like, hey, he'll fit
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: into what I'm trying to do, and and that that's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: perfect and it makes it makes sense when you have
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: ninety million in cap space. Number one, it's because you've
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: been sucking for a long time. And number two, it's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you you've managed the cat that haven't paid a quarterback
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in ten years, so they don't have that, and that
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they're they're in a better spot to do that, so
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: they can do over pay for good, solid players. Like
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you just said, he's a good, solid player and he's
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: making money that will change his life and his family's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: life forever. So that great for Dorn's arm. Frank, I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: am not knocking him. I'm just saying, I you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: if Sam Williams can can can limit the penalties and
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: for a million and a half or two million whatever
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: he's making, that's what the Cowboys have to do. You
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: have to make tough, oh.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: For sure, Okay, and just just for it. I'm not
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying that Cowboys made the wrong decision, because
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: I would have made the same decision. I'm just saying
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: for Washington, I can understand why they're like, this is
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: an upgrade over to guys like we can't. And I'm
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: not saying you, but it's like other people are like,
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: he's like, we can't act like Dorn. So Armsong's crap,
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: and then he's not upgrade over the two guys that
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: you can't name.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, all right, all right, Travis,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: appreciate the coble. We're gonna keep it moving, and I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: get what you're saying. I just think I would focus more.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't focus more on what Washington did to get better.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, it's like saying somebody is
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: going to buy a car from you, and you're like,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. You know, you go ahead and take that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what car you previously had. I don't
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: know if you've been walking, I don't know. Doesn't matter
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to me. Sure if you want this, whether it's a player,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: whether it's a house, whether it's a car, it's probably
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: better than what you've had. So I'm not worried about that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: If they want to spend fifteen million on Dort ARMSTRONGK
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: go ahead. That means you know they haven't had a
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: whole lot or or you know, if we're keeping it
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: from the house flipping, I mean Dorrian's Armstrong. I mean
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Quinn knows how he's going to move him, he knows
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: how he's gonna use him in a better spot. Great
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for him. All I'm saying is the Cowboys couldn't do it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And I think that was kind of the weird part
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: about that call from Travis. I think he was agreeing.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what all you were saying, but
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: anyways worked out good. Now. As Armando was calling and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: talking about different countries, I was thinking in my head,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I was trying to wrack my brain. I'm like, what
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: other countries? I'm looking at a world map in my
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: head and I always think, like bottom, rightly, we hadn't
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: had a call from Australia. I mean, no, there's no
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: way we'd have a call from all but Mark in
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Meltmour in Australia.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Hey, n K going, Hello, Hey n K going.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you doing?
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: I'm going going great. I thought it was a bad
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: time of cold in I listen most days. To quote
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: a few of the podcasts, I thought I'd get up
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: early today and and Mike and Cool nice.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: What what time is it right now?
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: It's five twenty four in the morning.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: And what day.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Right, Friday?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Friday? Okay, well it's Thursday. It's one twenty four pm
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, so that's awesome. All right, Well, Mark, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: want you to hold for one second while Chris gives
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you your first time caller. Here we go. All right,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: where do you got Mark?
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Well, it's about Zac Actually. So's been a lot of
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: talk about Dak and I think he's a good quarterback,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: but I think he's got some some shortcomings as well
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: against good teams and some playoffs failures. And and for me,
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I think that I really like it if Sack looked
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: at it in a in a bit of a different
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: way and analyzed the the competition and looked at what
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: his competition is, and you know, there's guys got my
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: homes out there and borrow Rogers staffords that have all
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: got to start in the in the off season and
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: uh and during the year. Uh. And then he's got
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: some pretty good rookies out there at the moment with
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: Stroud and thirty loves Lawrence, all on great deals that
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: gives them more weapons and they give them more better defense.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: And you know, when I look at it, I think
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: dealt with his pace. Dack gave a know, I ran
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: about two hundred million so far, And it'd be great
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: if DA looked at it and didn't want to use
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: his leverage and wanted to be a Cowboy, and how
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: bad does that want to win for the Cowboys. I
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: know a lot of ex players say that, hey, he's
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: got to look after your family and leave for the things.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: But you know, with his two hundred appropriamamli from the Cowboys,
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: Parton's sponsorships and things like that, I don't think he's
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: found with going hungry. And I think they love a
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: pretty good house to live him for the rest of
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: their lives. And I just think that you should look
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: to do a bit of a friend with a friendly
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: deal with it with the Cowboys. Uh, yeah, that's you know.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: And I always thinking if it's really if it's really
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: really important to him and he really wants to be
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: a Cowboys, if he wins, if he wins the Super
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: Bowl with Cowboys, he's going to be set for life.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: If he's not already set for life. Yeah, so I'd
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: like to see him do a really good deal. Yeah.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: We saw what Kirk Cousins just signed for forty five years.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, if he was able to do that, Jerry
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: and Steven and this is Babia a provider on that deal,
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: and he's got to spend the money to get him
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: some weapons and also with getting book the ball back
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: and put some put some resources into the defense.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what do you think I think you're
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you're I think I think you're you're really onto something
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: here which would be great for the team. And let
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: me say thank you for the call, Mark and and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: five o'clock in the morning. If that's what it takes
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to get in get in another show, I really appreciate that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: It's great to hear from you marks off another country
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: for US Australia that that's that's awesome. It's kind of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: funny that you say that, because that was some of
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: our discussions before you this morning. We had some meetings
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: today just talking about different things with the Cowboys and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the Caps and stuff like that, and that would that
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: was something that would certainly benefit the Cowboys if he
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: did that, if Dak took a friendly deal like that.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the day, like
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you said, and I've had a hard time hearing what
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you were saying, but I think what you were alluding
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to is that being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: obviously can can you can make more money in other ways?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe making up for contract and stuff like that. But
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's a slippery slope because you know, quarterbacks think
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: about this. After every game, at the end of the game,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: what do you all want? You see the coaches go
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: shake hands. You always see the quarterbacks. It's a for
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: little fraternity, okay, And so it's they kind of have
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: an obligation as well to say, all right, well, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: gotta get what's fair to me, because if you don't,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: if he just takes some friendly deal, and then that
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: kind that might hurt quarterbacks and other situations on other
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: teams and other markets that are like, well, you haven't
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: accomplished what Dak has and Dak just took that. Dak
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: just took another forty million a year when he could
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: have maybe pushed for fifty five, but he took forty,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So why don't you take in forty And so that's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that's where it gets kind of tough. But if he
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: did that and to say, hey, I gotta just take
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: care of my own situation here. I'm trying to win
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with Dallas, and I got to help
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the guys around me. You know, Tom Brady did it, Yeah,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady did it, But Tom Brady had already won
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: three or four Super Bowls, and he understood, you know,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: how you know, to keep this thing going. He could
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: be the greatest of all time, which I think people
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: consider him that so good points, good points, for sure.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Not as easy as you think. You're right, the money's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: not that much of a of a difference in the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: in the big you know, scheme of things. But uh,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: he's also trying to figure out how to how to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: play this game right for for everybody involved. All right,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: let's go to Robin Vegas is our next caller.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, Hey, Rob, So talking about that, I'm sure
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: you heard what Jerry said the other days.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: He said, I understood it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: No, right, he said, I truly believe that's gonna win
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: a super Bowl. And I'm like, okay, that's that sounds great.
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: And then he was talking about CD in the weirdest way,
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: like if he was on another team, and I'm like, well,
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: why would he be on another team?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: And I'm wondering, do you think Jerry's upset with Dak
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: and maybe some other players because he just expects them
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: to take a Dallas Cowboys discount because of what you
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: were just saying. Yeah, exposure the commercials. You know, if
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: Dak was playing for Cleveland, he wouldn't be on all
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: these commercials, but I think he would be regarded as
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: a better quarterback.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yere exactly right.
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, So I'm wondering if if Jerry's taken it
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: personal and for some reasons, very personal with Dak. It
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: seems because yes, we know, the money's outrageous, and you
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: said it. I said, Patrick Mahomes is the only guy
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: where whatever he's getting paid, there's no difference between josh
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: Al and Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott and whoever else. They're all,
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: you know. And I always use Lamar because I think
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: Lamar and Dak are very comparable, especially in the playoffs.
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: For both of them, they're not very good in the playoffs,
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: they're great in the regular season. And Lamar just signed
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: for fifty two, so you know, I say, or for
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: fifty two. But let's be honest, we don't know what
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: Dak is looking for here. We've heard this number sixty,
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: but I've never heard it from Dak. I don't know
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: where that number came from. And if he does want sixty,
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: I'm sure Jerry's like, now, that ain't gonna happen. But
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: I just think Jerry's, you know, probably a little upset,
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: like do you understand who you're playing for? You're playing
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: for the Dallas Coveries. But I think that's kind of
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: worn off a little bit. You know, you don't have
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: to go to note your Dame or Texas or these
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: big schools anymore to.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Be on TV.
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: They're all on TV, right, you know. And I think
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: the same thing with the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, the Dallas
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Cowboys are the biggest brand, but these guys will go anywhere.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: But to go on a lighter note, So I instead
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: of talking about football for a second, I know you
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: talked about movies, and you talked about football movies. What's
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: your favorite guy movie? If you know, you know what
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: guy moved, a guy movie series, or just what's considered
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: guy movies.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: What's your favorite?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Like I got just like, yeah, you know, I'm I'm
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit older. I mean I'm in I'm late forties,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: so I mean, I don't know if it's I mean,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I think A Few Good Men is probably one of
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: my favorite movies. I think it's a guy movie. You know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: there's no there's no love interest at all in that movie,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's got Jack Nicholon's got iconic scenes,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Tom Cruise and The Lawyer. I mean that right there
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: is one of my favorite movies. I don't know if
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: that's a guy movie.
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: I don't know what's I look at a guy movie like.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: For me, it's the Rambos, all the the Loan. To me,
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: every one of them was good, and to me, that's
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: a guy movie. And if you like Tom Cruise, which
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: I do, the Mission.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Miss Impossibles, Yeah, he's.
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: Been great in all of them. And he's I'm fifty sixties,
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: a little older than me.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: How many Mission Impossibles have there been?
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: Oh god, I don't know.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Five, maybe eight, maybe eight?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I mean they're all good. Yeah, well I think there
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: may be seven or eight. And if that's the case,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: there's seven or eight that I need to see. You've
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: never seen them now, fast and furious. I'm I'm at
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: zero when it comes to those.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Sorry, the first couple were good after that.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, But as Chris points out here, I mean,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: now Vince Vaughn movies, those are like the guy movies
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: for me. I mean I actually watched Wedding Crashers last night.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I watched it again without the customerds, so it's not
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: as good. But yeah, any any Vince Vaughn movie is
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, even given the one given the one where
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: he had like four hundred kids like like that, even
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that movie is funny to me. You know, I don't
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: even remember what it was called, but he it was
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like four hundred kids.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: But anyways, he wanted the meat lolls at the end
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: of the wedding of.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: The question of course. Of course. So all right, all right,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: good stuff, Robuh. I would I wouldn't have expected movie
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: talk with Robin Vegas. I love it. Glad you have it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: What's yours? You said yours was Rambo Rambo.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: That's yeah, I'd say that the Rambo series. I like
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: the Expendables, but the last one was horrible, okay, but
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: uh stall in the Rambos, every one of them was good.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: And you know, I like stallone.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I just think time out. I don't even if I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: didn't have Chris, he's so too well he does and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just like sometimes I'm trying to think he's thinking,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't know. But I just gave it time.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: You know how you forget the ones right under your nose,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: top gun and Top Gun Maverick. I mean, though, those
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: are guy movies. That's the guy movie, and that's it, definitely.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I've only seen two movies in the theater five times, okay,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: five times in the movie theater. One of them was
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Rocky four in like back when I was nine or
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: ten years old, and then yeah, and then the next
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: one was Maverick. I saw Top Gun Maverick five times
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: in the theater with different people like you haven't seen it. Oh,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: let's go, let's go tomorrow, let's go now. I mean
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I thought I was outstanding. So yeah,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: thank you for Chris. He knows me better than me
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that I know myself. All right, appreciate, appreciate the call.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Rob really good stuff today. Let's go to was it?
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Brian npa Bran in Pennsylvania?
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: Hey, how you doing Nick? How are you doing doing well?
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: It's been a few months since I've called.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: What's your guy movie? You're from Pennsylvania? Is it Rocky?
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: I got no, No, I'm not from Pennsylvania. I'm actually
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: from Oklahoma. So eight seconds is my guy movie?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Nice?
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, I feel it was named Dusty Yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know it's that bull riding movie, right, Yes, yeah,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: it was the guy from Lane's four.
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: Ye Lane Lane Frot.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Did I not have this right? You're not from Pennsylvania?
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well I'm in Pennsylvania. Got I was in the military.
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: Meta girls, you know old story.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Cool sounds like a country All right, what are you at?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: I had a question about you know, everyone's freaking out
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: about free agency, right, but I don't see. It's kind
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: of weird that we're losing the players that we say
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: we want to keep, but they're the same players we
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: complained about all season. You know, what are we going
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: to do about Tyler be Otdish And he's been a
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: stress point that we've talked about forever. Losing Tyron Smith
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: when he's pretty much made swing tackle the popular position
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: for the past four or five years, and especially with
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: the defense, with losing dan Quinn. I mean, I give
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: dan Quinn all his problems for what he did, but
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: he their scheme made me hate the word tweener. Yeah,
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: you know, people who can play safety, who can play linebacker,
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: and personally, I just thought it was weird how we're
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: getting beat in the game and we have no linebackers
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: who can run, of course stop the run, and you've
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: got a defensive end that plays gunner on special teams,
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: and you never thought to put in between the tackles
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: and say, see runner, get ball. Yes, So it was
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: always like it was always like you take a smaller
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: guy to load into a bigger position, like Chauncey Golston.
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: You know. But either way, I digress.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: The biggest thing I wanted to ask Brian, can I
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: say something there? Ye're exactly right. I agree with everything
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: that you just said. I agree with that, and it
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: is that is what free agency is all about. Every
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: team that lost somebody is probably looking at the other
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: part of it, you know, like like you just don't
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: you just if they were really, really a great player,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be in free agency to start with, you know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: unless they just hated their city and just never wanted
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: to return. I mean it's rare. We're talking Lebron James
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: type that you have a free agent who can go somewhere,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: but it's still like at the top of his game
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: for the most part. If the Giants really really really
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: wanted to take one Barley, they would have kept them,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you know, but they were definitely decided not to which
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: it looks great for Philly. But you know, unless those
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: warts that came out and with the Giants come out
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: in Philly. But I'm not saying you can never get
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: free agents, but I'm just saying most of the time
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: they're overpaid and overvalue. But that's okay because if you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: have money to spend, like Washington does, then do it
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and spend it. So that's what they've done exactly. Yeah,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: Well, my question was, I don't see any of these
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: guys as like completely irreplaced. The only one I would
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: say I would fight to keep would be Stefan Gilmore,
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: but he's kind of a victim of his own success.
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: You know, when you're that dog on a one year
• 35:37
  Speaker 9: contract and you keep doing great things, you're going to
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: get paid a lot of money, you know. But my question,
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: my biggest question is with Zimmer coming in on defense
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: and everyone looking at a culture change, how do we
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: get back to the traditional We have defensive tackles playing
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: defensive tackles. We have defensive ends developing into defensive ends.
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: You know, we have people mastering one position. I'll take
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: Micah for example. Micah was a tweener when he came
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: in and then he became a pass rusher real quick.
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: They're like, this is what he is, you know? And
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: I would like to see us get people and put
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: them in positions where they can master their position and
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: not worry about flexibility, because it almost sounds like we
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: go into every season with this whole list of like
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: we've prepared for these ten bad things to happen, you know,
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: instead of saying, hey, we'll develop a team and we'll
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: pull up young people and we'll I mean, let's look
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: at the Green Bay ging. We got shellacked by a
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: young team that didn't know what they didn't know. So
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: how do we build a confidence in our team and
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: quit worrying about making people as versatile as possible and
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: just be like, hey, go in and do what you're
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: good at.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: So I just want to know how you think we
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: can I don't know, develop that and the culture and
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: with the pieces that we have right now, not even
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: looking at the draft, but the pieces we have right now,
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: are we really if we look at it in Zimmer's scheme,
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: are we really worse off and are we in trouble
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: or is this an opportunity to get rid of one
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: of those lists of if this happens, then we can
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: do this, and more focused on turning this team into
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: a more well rounded team that can beat good teams,
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: not just stomp bad teams. Right, all right, So I'll
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: hang up and care what you gotta say, sir.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Chris, you might be on the phone, Chris, Yes,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: did you get a chance to listen to Brian in
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania there? Or are you getting other calls and stuff
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: I was trying to put stuff together.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no, no, no, that's fine. I was just
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I was gonna make sure and clarify that that was
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: one of our better calls, and a lot this whole
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: show has been great. I mean really, I was interested
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to see how this show was going to be, what
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the frustration level would be, or where are we going
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: with this? But I'm very very impressed with with the
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: call so far today. And I thought Brian in Pennsylvania,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a really really good call, just
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: just good just good thinking. I mean, because a lot
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: of times people just they're kind of living in the moment,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: you know, they just see what they have right now
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and what they're not getting, what other people are doing,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: and and it's it's hard to kind of think, well,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: you know, wait a second, you're mad because we lost
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: this guy, weren't you you know, calling him out? I mean,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and and so in the Quinn things interesting, he's he's
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: been good for this team. The defense has been good,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been great, and then it was at its worst.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: You know, the last time that we saw him coaching,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: it was about the worst performance we've seen from the defense.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: So I kind of think a change was needed. Now
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: let me go back to what you said though about
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the flexibility part. I I get that Marquise Bell he's
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: a linebacker, he's a safety, and you know, and and
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: if he's trying to cover the tight end, then he's
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: probably in good spot. If he's having to go one
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: on one with a with a guard that's made it
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to the next level, not so good. That's what happens
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: with any mismatch. You know, you play four guards in basketball,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: you're probably gonna you're probably gonna get steals and you're
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be moving quick. May not get a rebound, but
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, So there's mismatches work for both ways.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: And the versatility part, I get that the only thing
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I'll say is is that there are some times when
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: it helps you. It does help you to have versatile
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: players you want to take. You don't want to take
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: ten dbs to a game. You only want to take
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: eight or nine because that's how many you can dress.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: So you take four corners, you take four safeties, and
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you take this one guy who can play corner and safety.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: That's basically giving you ten guys but only having to
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: keep nine. Same with offensive linemen. You get that guard
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: tackle who can play both, or a guard center. Now
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: you can get to a game with eight guys but
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: really have all the positions covered. So there's something to
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: be said for versatility and flexibility. And I think you
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: know that too, but you do make good points. It's
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: about you. Sometimes you can hurt a guy's whole career,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: and I believe I'm just saying, I believe Tyrone Crawford
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: was one of those players whose whole career was kind
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: of it was kind of hurt in the fact that
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: because he was versatile to play in and tackle, they
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: did it a lot and he never was really great
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: at one spot. Kyle Wilber is another example to that too.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: So there's good and bad with versatility flexibility. It could
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: help you on one hand, but also can can kind
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: of hurt hurt your own development in the other. All right,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Brian in Kansas City, Friend, how you doing.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I'm doing good. Yeah, this is a good show.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: It's been a really good show. Missed you a little bit. Man,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: it's been a couple of shows.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's I'm substitute teaching a little bit more frequently.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: So I'm this is spring break week. I was telling
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: you the other.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Day, all right, are you the cool sub? Are you
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: the one?
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Like, I mean, what kind of sub talking about?
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: Is this?
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: I'm just to get through the day. I just to
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: get through the day.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Guy.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Let'st the kids when they have a sub there, they
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: just kind of light out there like, oh this is
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: gonna be great.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: So you know, but it helps a little bit that
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: I'm a I'm about six one two twenty to twenty five,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: so I have a little bit of a and I
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: have the typical military voice.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: What are we talking here?
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: So I can in Missouri, you when you're a substitute,
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: you're a substitute. It's there's no there's no differentiation. So
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: I could do elementary one day in high school, the.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Next that's wow, that's a that's a different that's a
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: different mentality, you know.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Totally different, totally different. But I I I rely on
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: I rely on my my uh my navy voice a lot.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: All right, down, do what I said, So don't don't
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: mess with with uh with Brian? All right? Sounds good.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, you know I had a couple of things. One
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: was I am curious. I know today people were talking
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: about dak In previous weeks, people have talked about Micah.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: I am curious of whether they're going to take the
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: three guys that need big money. Are they going to
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: keep all three of them? I think that's a tough question.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: That's those are three big contracts. Those are guys that
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: and not everybody resets the market. Diggs didn't reset the
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: market when he signed. And you know, as we've talked
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: about this last week or two weeks or whatever it's been,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Tyrone Smith was on a team friendly deal for a while.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: You know that not everybody resets the market when they sign.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: So we don't know what's going to happen with those,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: but it is curious to see, you know. The other
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: thing I was about the other day. This is not
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: quite as off the rails as putting a sumo wrestler
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: at Nose Tech. But but you know, remember you know
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: you know this because you said Danny White was like
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: your guy when you were growing up. He was the punter,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: right like, why who was and I can't remember who
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: it was, but you'll know who it was. Who was
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: the safety that had to be our kicker for a game?
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Just a couple of years, that was it and he
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: was able to I'm just curious why, Like I'm always curious,
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: why does why do we need a long snapper? Why
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: can't we just teach our regular center to snap the
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: ball like that? You know, I'm just curious. It's a
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: salarycap thing. Why can't we teach, you know, somebody to
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: do those kinds of things. And that's the opposite of
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: what the last caller said. No, I don't want all
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: that versatility. Just do your job and do it well.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you're making good points. This is and I
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I've never really asked this question. Here's one thing I
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: would say if you, if you get a chance to
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: go to a practice like a trading camp or something
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: like that, what you'll see as you'll see two fields.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: You'll see offense here defense and on special teams. Guys
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: are doing kind of their own thing. They work together,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and it's operation. It's not just a holder and a kicker.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: It's a whole opera. Hold on operation. Sorry about that,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: it's I lost my voice. And so you got to
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: be able to work together. The center has he will
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: ever have time to do that if he's working with
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: the offense all the time or you know, so he's
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: got to be able to work with those guys and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: it's got to be like boom boom. And if you
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: don't have that that you know, that technique down and
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: you don't have you know, them just working together. I mean,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: it's not just snapping the ball right, it's snapping it
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: at a pace where the laces are always the same.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: LP Lassiter never wanted the holder to have to turn
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the ball. He knew that he could get it and
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: it was going to rotate just enough time to get
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: it and you never have to just put it down
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and kick, which could take like a half second off
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of the delivery. So that's that's why working together works.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: That's why it's harder to then just put the center
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: out there and do that, and that's that's and so
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: you know, and he would say, what you'd save eight
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand million off the cap if you didn't have
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: a long snapper. But he's also got to be able
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: to get down there and make a tackle. So there's
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: more to it than that.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: But I'm just curious because the the you know, in
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: those days, like Danny White's probably the best example, as
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: he was the quarterback in waiting. He was a good punter.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: You know, he was a good punter. So you know,
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: I was I had I have a request and then
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: I'll give you my player for today. My request is
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I was wondering if you could have or maybe do
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: some kind of combined show. It's because the Draft Show
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: doesn't take calls. I'd love to have one of the
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Draft Show people on and be able to ask him
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: a few questions, you know, and listen to what other
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: fans have to ask him too. Just just something to
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: throw out there.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Who would be your choice? Who would be your choice?
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: There's eight of them?
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: So yeah.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: So because brought us has done both pro scouting and
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: college scouting, because I would love him to tell me
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: how did brock Hoffman play last year? When he played
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: those couple of games. How did TJ. Bass play last year?
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Scout him for me, tell me how he did. If
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: we put those five guys out there right now, what
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: kind of offensive line do we have. I'd love for
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: him to tell me how he thought they performed last
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: year when they had to step up and play those games.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: And then of course there's a couple of people I'd
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: love to hear, you know, aout a scouting report about.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: But so I guess that'd be my pick. And he's
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: been around forever too, so you know, all right, anyway,
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: my player this week, I figured I picked somebody that
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: is famous. Everybody knows who he is. He's had his
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes of fame in the brightest sun of all.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: But maybe you have a story that we don't know
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: about him. And that would be the guy that Neil
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: o'doonnald threw to over and over again in the Super Bowl.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Larry Brown, I'll hang up and listen, brothers.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. The thing the thing about brought us
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: with this show is that in the off season here
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: we have an afternoon show starts at one o'clock. Brons
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: has his own show that he does on the fan obviously,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: which I believe is two o'clock. So that's why when
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: he does shows, he does it in the mornings. But
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: there's other options. There's other options from the for the
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Draft show, we could we could get in there. Maybe
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: we'll do that, we get a little bit closer to
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the draft. Not a bad idea, I'll be honest with you,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I know, just a little bit about the guys. That's
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: just been my thing. I I used to be that
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: way where I wanted to know three hundred players and
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: then they would take seven of them, you know, and
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: then get four or five more in free agency that
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: you've heard of, and then you know, and then nothing
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: really matters until they get here. So that's why I've
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: kind of shifted over the years of like, it's a
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: long offseason. Just get the players here and then we'll
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: get to we'll get to learn them. That's just my take.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I know the Draft show, they those guys have a
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: different mentality, and a lot of the fans do as well.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: That's why a lot of people listen. It's just kind
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: of not been my thing. I feel like I can
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I can play catch up when they get here. We'll
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: figure out who we need to look at and see
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: what they've done, so good stuff. A player was Larry Brown.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: And yes, I one hundred percent have a story about
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Larry Brown. And it goes back to nineteen ninety two.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I was sixteen years old and I was a long
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: story short. My dad was a station manager of one
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: of the radio stations in town. And so there was
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: a basketball game going on in Fort Worth. It was
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: like a charity game or whatever, and so it was
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: radio station people versus ended up being the TCU alumni
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: chapter of this one fraternity and so at TCU and
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: so I got to play in the game. I was
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: sixteen years old. I got to play with my dad.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I was out there playing and I could not get
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: open for the life of me on this one guy
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: who looked familiar, but I just couldn't get open. And uh,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I felt better when I found out it was Larry Brown,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: who at that time was only in his second year
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: in the league. And uh it was so here's a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: cornerback in the NFL who ended up being a Super
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Bowl MVP. And I can't get open. Uh, here's you know,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: scrawny little sixteen year old, you know. And maybe I
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: did get one or two shots and he you know,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I just never forget I was shooting from a three
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: pointer and he comes up. I think he was gonna
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: block it, and he ends up touching my calf. He
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: instead of going high to block and he went low.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Of course that'll mess me up. And I'm sure it
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: barely hit the backboard and uh and I'll never forget that.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: That was a cool trick. And he actually used that before.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: But I've talked to Larry about that. He remembers the game.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Uh probably doesn't remember me, but you know, he was
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: he was shutting me down, so uh uh for that day,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: he was definitely a shutdown corner for sure. All Right,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: speaking of uh no, sorry, I didn't want to skip
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Don and Philly Don and Philly's next Don Don dropped
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: all right, Well then we're staying in Fort Worth. Then
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: I was talking about Yes.
• 50:02
  Speaker 10: Sir, how you doing, Nick? I'm good, all right, all right, Hey,
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: I just wanted to touch on some of the stuff
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: that we've all been talking about today, regarding like Dak
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: and like the free agents that we have or that
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: we don't have, or how this team values you know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: a player versus how you value and I think it
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: just comes down to mentality. Man, maybe it's just me,
• 50:20
  Speaker 10: but like, I don't know whether this is a good
• 50:22
  Speaker 10: analogy because honestly, I don't even play golf, so maybe
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: you can help me out here. But if I was
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: to go out, you know what I meaning, I wanted
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: to play some golf with my homies and I forget
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: one of my clubs, I'm not going to be like, oh,
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: I don't have the clubs that my friend has, so
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: now I'm going to pout about it. I'm gonna, like,
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna be a competitor. I'm gonna see what clubs
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: I do have, and I'm gonna figure out how to
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: make the most of them. And I'm gonna go out
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: there and I'm gonna try to win some you know,
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: holes or whatever, you know what I mean. And I
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: feel like that's kind of how I feel like with
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: this team, you know, Like I mean, you've known me.
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: I've been making calls and I've been pretty positive for
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: the most part. And I'm not saying that we have
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: a super Bowl caliber roster right now, but I'm interested
• 50:57
  Speaker 10: to see in how these players develop, see what they see,
• 51:00
  Speaker 10: what they're going to bring to the table next year,
• 51:02
  Speaker 10: you know what I mean, Because I mean, who knew
• 51:04
  Speaker 10: Darn Bland was going to be darn Bland? You know
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: what I mean?
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Who knew?
• 51:07
  Speaker 10: You know, who even knew Dorince Armstrung was gonna be
• 51:09
  Speaker 10: what he became? You know what I mean? Like, these
• 51:11
  Speaker 10: players need opportunities, and that's.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: What we got right now.
• 51:13
  Speaker 10: So we got to try to keep our head up high,
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: try to figure out what's gonna happen with the cars
• 51:17
  Speaker 10: that we have right now, with the players that we
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: have right now, you know what I mean. So, and
• 51:20
  Speaker 10: I just want to say one thing because you mentioned LP,
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: and it just made me think about something. This is
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: a quick story. In twenty fifteen, I think it was
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: twenty fifteen, I came back from overseas. It was my
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: first deployment. I had just come back. I was excited.
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: I got to do the flag detail before the game
• 51:35
  Speaker 10: and I was there. I've seen a lot of players,
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: I've seen a lot of coaches and stuff, and I
• 51:38
  Speaker 10: saw LP just this huemongous guy and I was like LP,
• 51:42
  Speaker 10: and he like kind of looked over like, who the
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: heck is this like a family member? Who the heck
• 51:46
  Speaker 10: is calling my name? And it was just me, and
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: I was like, hey, what's up, and he just kind
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: of like waved at me. Then I saw I think
• 51:50
  Speaker 10: it was coach Dooley, Derek Dooley, the wide receivers coach
• 51:54
  Speaker 10: at the time, and then I saw Garren McFadden and
• 51:55
  Speaker 10: I was just like saying hi to everybody, and my
• 51:58
  Speaker 10: battle buddies were like looking at me, like, dude, the
• 52:00
  Speaker 10: heck do you know all these people? And I'm like, man,
• 52:02
  Speaker 10: I guess I am more of a fan than I
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: think the average person, you know what I mean. So
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: I just thought it was an interesting moment, and I
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: think it wasn't that game, but it was another game. Nick.
• 52:12
  Speaker 10: This was back when I used to do the Dr
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: Pepper postgame show, like on the field, like y'all would
• 52:17
  Speaker 10: just walk up there and like do it on the
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: side of the field, and like I think it was
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: Taylor's stron needed like a like a little stool or
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: something to stay on. And I actually I actually called
• 52:27
  Speaker 10: your name from like I was probably like on the
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: thirty or the forty yard line, and I was on
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: one of the side like the side suites, and I
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: was like Nick, Nick, and you looked over and I
• 52:39
  Speaker 10: kind of waved you over. I don't know why, Like
• 52:41
  Speaker 10: I thought you were just going to like drop all
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: your responsibilities and walk over to me. But I waved
• 52:45
  Speaker 10: you over, and you're like, okay, well, you know, one second,
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: you put your finger up kind of like one second
• 52:49
  Speaker 10: and then you went over and I just watched you
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: do the Dr Pepper like postgame you know whatever, and
• 52:55
  Speaker 10: then uh, man, you forgot you never came over, man.
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: But I've been to tell you that. Oh you're good man.
• 53:03
  Speaker 10: I've been meaning to tell you that. But I was, like,
• 53:05
  Speaker 10: we've had so much stuff going on with I mean,
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: obviously all the callers and stuff, but.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I'm getting I mean, it's not over yet, all right,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I just give me a second. I'm gonna get over there.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: So has it been ten years, it's been not I'll
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: get there. I apologize. That is a scramble time, and
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: we don't even do that show anymore for that reason,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: because just just doing the post game show. And also
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons we don't do it is well
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: it's because of the music in the stadium, but that's
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: a whole other reason. But basically just just trying to
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: get as quickly as you can to make sure you
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: don't miss stuff like that, So I do apologize for that,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: but yeah.
• 53:43
  Speaker 10: You're good man. I actually ended up in one of
• 53:46
  Speaker 10: those side suites because I was in uniform, and you know,
• 53:49
  Speaker 10: some whoever had this suite was like, hey, come on in,
• 53:51
  Speaker 10: and you know I'm out now, so I can admit this.
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: But they were just handing me drinks and handed me drinks,
• 53:56
  Speaker 10: so I probably wouldn't have had the most intelligent conversation,
• 54:01
  Speaker 10: remember that, Are you sure?
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Now? What are you sure that? Yeah? Yeah, you don't
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: know you were getting free drinks. David appreciate the call,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: for sure, and more than more than that, we appreciate
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: your service as well, you know, overseas and stuff like that.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: That's that's that's unbelievable. I can't even fathom that. And
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: so we definitely appreciate that. You you deserved everything you
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: were getting, whether it be in the suite or the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: drinks and all that. You definitely deserve that. So thank
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: you two. All right, So Chris, we got any more calls?
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Is that it lines are open there? That's an hour.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: That's an hour show, so that probably means that's a wrap.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: And as soon as we say that probably the phone
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: will ring. But good stuff, guys, this is a great show.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed, uh the interaction today. I thought you
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: guys we were outstanding and just not only you know
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: what's going on, but maybe just just some ideas. Let's
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: let's throw it out there. I'm not not seeing one
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: that's right or wrong. Did the phone just ring? Yeah,

  Speaker 4: Well, my question is regarding a comment you made a
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: while back, and like you know, I've been meeting the call.
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: But you know, you guys are very popular, and it's
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: you know, oftentimes I agree with you, but this one
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: time I just could not really agree with you when
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: you said a while back that, uh, you know, the
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: fam will always be there no matter what, basically something
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: along the lines. And you know, for the most part,
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: you're right, but you know, lately, with the whole all
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: in and that all that drama in all this contract,
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: it just makes it a little bit hard to swallow,
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I understand that it's frustrating. I mean I've
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: been there. I mean, I'm there as well, like you know,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: with my own college team. So I'm a fan as
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: well of a team, and so I kind of think
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: like that, I know what you're going through. And I mean,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of a team that Arkansas that will
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: never win. Our football team will never win. Seriously, we
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: won't and I know that, and so it's frustrating, you know,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: and you kind of go through those spells of like
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: I don't really care, you know, like, oh man, it
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. And next thing you know, you're looking
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: at the too deep roster in June and you're like,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: all right, you know, and then you look at the
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: schedule and maybe it's just the cycle just sucks us
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: back in. It happens all the time. I'm not saying
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys have never lost fans. They probably have. But
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: you know, the one that are calling this show, the
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: ones that are on, the ones that are just you're
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: here in the middle of the off season and trying
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: to figure out who they're going to draft and all that,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: you're hooked, and Yeah, the reason why you're frustrated is
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: because you care. And the reason why you care is
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: because it just it matters to you. And because it matters,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: you'll be back, and it's there's nothing back. Yeah, I'm
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: not trying to say it in a way of like, oh,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: you'll be back, you just will, because that's that's how
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: we are too.
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: We are No, I agree, but like I guess my
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: only and I was a thousand percent, but I feel
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: like if the average collar is around forty years old,
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: like I'm forty one, Yeah, if you could like keep
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: tabs them, Hey, what's your age, just so you can
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: get a like like a glimpse of Hey, it's nothing
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: about the forty plus year olds. And I think last
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: week I heard somebody who was thirty one or something
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: around the age is that, like I've never seen a
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: cat with do anything right? Is that's a smaly counterpoint,
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: you know, But I agree with you, like i'm'ma be
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna die a cat with saying no matter what, I.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Don't think anyone, you know, I think everyone tells the
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: truth when you're asking them where they're from, what state.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: But you may not. You may not get truthful answers
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: all the time when you you know, I saw that
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: like that, and I'm thirty eight. My favorite player is
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Leroy Jordan, you know, like, Okay.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't think I was going to get in
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: through it, but anyways, I just wanted to thank you.
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: And I didn't even think of like a like a
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: name of a person a football player.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, So what was the first year you covered the team?
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: I mean that you followed the team like.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, what a good what a good year to jump in. Yeah.
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was a little kid though, I was like

• 58:47

• 59:13
  Speaker 1: kick it off again, see what we got. We'll get
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit closer. It'll be in the month of
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: the draft at that point, so we can kind of
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: dial in a little bit more to what their needs
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: are and maybe who will be available. And then we'll
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: look into that option of maybe getting a guy from
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: the Draft show to join us. So that should be
• 59:30
