  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. What's up? Welcome
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to Cowboys Storyline. Good morning everyone, I'm Nick Eatman. It
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: is an off season edition here. This is gonna be
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: our regular time Wednesday, January eighth, but Wednesdays at nine
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: thirty ish Central Time, maybe nine thirty most of the time.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And let's we can go for our full hour, maybe
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit longer than that. Don't get in anyone's way.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Give Chris a chance to have some breaks a little
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: bit in between shows and kind of use you know,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: this is what happens when you get to the off
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: season and you can kind of stretch out a little bit,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: stretch out your legs, stretch out your arms, stretch out
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the shows a little bit. That's what we're doing, all right.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of I wouldn't say a lot of news,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but still it's it's off season news. Ken and still
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: figuring out what's going on with the head coaching situation.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Reports are saying that the Cowboys are not not letting
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy interview right now with the Bears I think
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are assuming that that means he
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: is definitely coming back. Why would you do that, right
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Why would you say now you can't interview here and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: then and then not bring him back. And that kind
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of is what it looks like as well. But let's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: not forget that there's going to be a negotiation here
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and that's what they're doing. They're negotiating with Jerry's negotiating
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy, if that's what's being done, And so
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: just think of it that way. If that is the case,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and he is negotiating, try to get a new contract
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and figure out all that that's in place, why would
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you let him go talk to the Bears when you
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: don't have to. Why would you mess out You're not
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: negotiating with anyone else right now, just him? Nobody is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: allowed to do that. And so that's that could be
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: part of it too, like, hey, we're trying to get
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this thing done, and we need to get this done
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the right way, and here's the parameters and all that,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and if you don't like it, you don't like it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: But but you don't need him to go talking to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: other teams and then come back and say, well, you know, well,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this is the price now and all that when you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: don't have to negotiate with anyone. So I do think
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it's a sign he could come back, but it also
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's one hundred percent. That's what it means.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That's at least my interpretation of it. All right, let's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: go to the phones. We'll start us off. Irene in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: falls chart, Virginia, Irene, what's up?
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, Ready to go.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: So I have no idea of what Jerry's doing with
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: blocking the Bears and other potential suitors. If he actually
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: wants Mic back, or if he's trying to drive the
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: price down artificially by shutting down the market.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: But what I do know is next to is your Wednesday.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: We're going to have an impromptu presser, and we're going
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: to pretend all the awkwardness from last season to now
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: never happened and that Mike has always and Jerry's guys.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: That's my prediction.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I guess I don't really know it, but I feel it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: My question for the storyliners, I want to know, now
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: that we're not a factor, who do we want to
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: win the well? Who do people want to win the
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl. And I know the answer to my other question,
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: who we least want to win it. I know most
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: people say Eagles on that one. Me is definitely Washington
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: for sure for winner.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: They're not winning. I can promise you. I promise you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that you look at their season, they're they're the most
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they're the most fortunate football team in the world. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, they are not better than the Cowboys,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and that we've seen it twice and it's very clear
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: they are not a better football team than the Cowboys.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So but and you know, look, look what and give
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: them credit. It's just one of those years. This is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen Cowboys wrapped up into one. This is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it young rookie quarterback, just a new team, and it's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: all working for you. You get Hail Mary's, you're getting
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the Eagles to drop passes, you're getting last second touchdowns,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You're getting all this kind of stuff, and you know
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it'll it'll fall flat when it's supposed to because I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: just don't think they're that good of a team. So
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the rest of the league. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: know they're not winning the Super Bowl.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, same. I would love to see the Battle of
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: the oen Force Minnesota and the Bills, and so I
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: guess Minnesota in that, but they're not going to do
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: it either. What I saw what happened the other day anyway,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: So let me tell you one thing from last night
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: that had Davy on rolling. So the fans here, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: know what you just said. I believe you're right, but
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: the fans here on some special sauce, for sure. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: sent my best friend a link to a theater troupe
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: that does something called drunk Shakespeare, and she answered me
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: and she's like, well, with football on during the weekend,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: it's going to be hard to go. Hopefully it comes
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: back in the spring, and I'm like, this thing goes
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: on forever. You did not need to, like like pointed
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: out that you're still in the playoffs and we're not,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: and that I can be in off season mode.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: I'll talk to you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I'm interested to hear what people say.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Who do you want to Who
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: do you want to win the Super Bowl? Who do
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you definitely not want to win? I mean, at this point,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it's you know, like I never really have a problem
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: with the Chiefs winning it. If they do, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and this could be the year somebody, somebody that hasn't won. Yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: look like like she said, I mean Buffalo, Detroit, maybe Minnesota.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Trying to think who else is I guess chargers are
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: not waying. I don't let them go either. All right,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: let's go to Dylan in Northport, Florida.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Fomix.
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: Nice sweater, dude. I like that sweater a lot.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: I gotta give me one of those.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't know if you ConTroll with me.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: If you are, that's fine, feels no.
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: I know I'm starky sometimes I do like that sweater.
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: I think I got to get one of these.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I wasn't sure about this this choice today,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but if it is, it is warm here and it's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: not warm outside. But that's it for weather. All right, Dylan,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: Shout out to Robin Sydney. Call from the future yesterday.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: That was that was a good call, good dude.
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: Our storyliners groove so.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah from from Australia. Yeah, yeah, from the future.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: My bad, it's taking me a while. I was about
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to ask you, when's the last time in Florida? Was
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the last time anybody wore a sweater?
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: You know, like, oh it's old man, it's like forty
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: degrees today, it's freezing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It's not but whatever, all right, Dan, let's go all.
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: Right, all right, this team, man, it's uh, it's a
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: rudderless ship to me. Right now, I feel like we're
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: kind of sucking and a rudderless ship.
• 6:40
  Speaker 10: Okay, we're stuck out in the ocean.
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: We don't know where we're going.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: So they they extend Dak Prescott last year, but they
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: leave Mike McCarthy on a one year proved deal. Right,
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: So by extending Dak, they're saying that the team is staff,
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: everybody's good enough to go and win. That's what it
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: says to me, which I didn't disagree with. But then
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: they tell him, Mike, go out and prove it and
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: do that. And so if he doesn't prove himself, that
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: tells me, well, you're going to move on from him.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And now you're.
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: Wasting one of two years in Dax's extension. Now fast
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: forward on the flip side, there's a good chance might
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: comes back. But what did he prove to come back?
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: He didn't prove himself to me. But who's a lot
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: of injuries.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But who said prove it, like you're you guys are
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: saying that, But Jerry didn't say this is He never
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: said that this is a prove it deal. That's what
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you're thinking that it means by not having a contract
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: for next season. But I don't Jerry never said this
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: is a prove you know, prove it and prove what?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: What did he prove? What did he not prove?
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, like so, I don't know. I think sometimes
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we get caught up in what things mean and so
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we just kind of go with it. But I don't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: think Jerry ever said that he's got to go to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: this round of the playoffs or he doesn't come back.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: I don't think it's a proven in terms of getting
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: to a certain place in the playoffs and getting past
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: the division around and all that. I think it's just
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: prove that by not offering him an extension, or maybe
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: he did offer him extension, he didn't take it, who knows,
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: like you said, but by not extending him tells me,
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: you've got to prove yourself this year that you deserve
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: an extension. And maybe I'm wrong, like you're saying, and means,
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: but the assumption to me is that that's what that means.
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: If you're not giving the coach a contract, then you
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: got to prove it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: He might have moved a lot more than you think, though, Like, honestly,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: see because we again and and and no offense.
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: He had the team playing right, Okay, so credit to him,
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: But there was three, at least three losses where the
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: players and the coach came out and said they weren't prepared, right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: That's that's a major strike to me. Play calling again
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: was a concern clockman who was a concern. Maybe he
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: won't be the play caller this next time around. So okay,
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: that's great, But and I get both arguments in keeping Mike,
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: but at this point, I'm like, what did he do
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: to prove himself if this was a proven deal. And
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: the whole point is, it just feels like we're shooting
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: from the hip. Here is what it feels like to me.
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: I don't see the vision for the team. Maybe I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: just dumb or blind. I know they're not going to
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: tell us what the vision is flat out, but uh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: I don't see. I don't understan where kind of where
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: this team is heading at the moment.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing, and and and Jerry appreciate the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: call of Dylan always. And I think Jerry is totally
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: fine with that. He's fine with with media, fans, maybe
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the players, maybe the coaches. What are we doing when
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you're you know, when you're the decision maker, you can
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: do that, you know, as long as he's he's got
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: his plan or or in place or whatever. My point
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: was that and and I'm I'm with you. I'm guys,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I've been in a fifty to fifty on this whole thing,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Like if he comes back, that's fine. And and a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: lot of that is selfish, I've admitted on here. It's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a lot easier offseason when you're when you're kind of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: status quote. Now, there will be a lot of coaches,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of changes, there'll be some free
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: agent changes and all that. But you know, you're you're
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: not worry you're not wondering about you know, how this
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: is done, and that is done, and and and just
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: new new concepts and things like that, and and and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you've got to remember, a coaching change is not just
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: we're bringing this guy in. You know, you got to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you've got to have a lot of interviews and at
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: least a handful of them, and so it's a it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a process. It takes it takes longer, so that's easier
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: when it's not the case. But if they do make
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a change, I'll understand the reasons why as well. So
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and I'll understand the reasons why they that that he stays.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: What I'm trying to point out is that let's not
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: get caught up in talk radio that you hear the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: people on on the Twitter spaces and and all the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you know, all the the rhetoric that we hear. Sometimes
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we get caught up and believe that that's the case
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: when Jerry has never said that. He never said what
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: what Mike has to do to come back, He never
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: said what a one year deal means for him, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: so and you got to remember he he he evaluates
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the team a lot differently than than what we see.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You know, we see it's got to be this, it's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: got to be that, or you would have signed him
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and Jerry. You know, you're getting dangerous when you get
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: into the mind of Jerry and trying to trying to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: figure out what he's actually thinking of reading between the lines.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: That's been something that the guys that have covered this
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: team for thirty to forty years. Still I can't master
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that's that's Jerry being Jerry. All Right, let's go to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Irwin and Denver.
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how's it going good.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Hey, Just a couple of things, And
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get your opinion on it as far
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: as McCarthy goes. I'm you know, I'm kind of neutral
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and I don't really care either way Jerry decides to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: do on it, but I do. I do want to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: say a couple of things, and I think that's kind
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of going against him, and I want to get your
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: thoughts on it. Is One, I don't really think he's
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a great play cooler like he might think he is. One.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: The other thing with McCarthy is they have a real
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: issue with penalties, and I think that's a coachable thing.
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: And the other thing.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: One more thing about this is I hear a lot
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: of people talking about that McCarthy's a really great code
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and he's taking a team to a super Bowl and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: they won. That's true, they did, yep. But let's not
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: get that he also had a Hall of Fame quarterback
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: in Aaron Rodgers. And I don't think we have that
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: on our team, at least not yet, and I don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: know if that'll ever happen, and I just want to
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: get your thoughts on them.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, and I don't like to kind of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: make some of those comments with you off the air,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'll just say it back to you. I hate that
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: argument about Aaron Rodgers because Aaron Rodgers has never won
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: without him. So and I'm not saying it's Mike, but
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this. If he is like Luke Skywalker, like
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: people like to think that he is, why hasn't he
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: won with anyone else? And so I think I do
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: think it was whatever the reason that they figured out
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that team that year they came to this stadium, they won.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: They had like twenty guys on injury reserve, they figured
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it out, And yes, I'm sure Aaron Rodgers was a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: big part of that. You know, the same with like
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Drew Brees and Sean Payton. With Sean Payton winner, I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: mean the reason for that was Drew Brees. But he's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: never won without him, so you know you know what
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, like I I I don't love that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: argument because I have Aaron Rodgers has never hoisted another trophy.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: No, that's you're You're absolutely correct about that. But they
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: they also had a really good defense too, Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: They did Woodson Charles Woodson, And you're right, that was
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a that was definitely a better team. And but but
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the experience part of it is being there, being in
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the moment, undersid. How do you practice on the for
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, how do you practice for the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl? Do you take your team early?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Do you take I mean just all those things you
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: got to do that that's part of the experience and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you would love for him to get there. Now you
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: can make the argument, then why can't you win in
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the playoffs here? And that that it's a valid argument.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: They have not They have not won here. They have
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: not figured out a way to win past the division round.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And that's what he was brought in to be a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: guy with experience to do. Again, I I could argue
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: both sides, and I can. I can do that because
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that's how close this this is.
• 14:02
  Speaker 12: For me.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I see both angles of this, and I'll let you
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: guys kind of rant and and and and say what
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you think because I I can. I can definitely see
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: both sides.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Right, what do you think about his play calling and
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the penalties.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Have just been all right, you know, thanks for the call,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: appreciate good stuff. I I don't love the play calling.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't. Then again, I've never
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: called a play you know, with real people, you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: my little computerized guys that I call those plays. But
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes but no, I I just I don't see the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: game that the same way that that he sees it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of times where I I don't
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: agree with it. I'm I'm probably a lot more conservative,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: honestly as as a play caller than than I think
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: he is. There's been times where he's throw on the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: ball on third down, fourth down, with the lead late
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: in the game where I like the forty seconds you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: coming off the clock more than I like getting it here,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and and uh, you know make trying to pass the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: ball and and and all that stuff. So I there's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: been too many times like this year where I didn't,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't really love it. And in this last game,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it was it was so off for me that I
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I even questioned whether or not they were trying to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: score points or or really evaluate Trey Lance because I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you just don't call those plays down there like like that.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You just don't. You just don't throw fade routes to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: to Brandon Cooks when when everyone including Deuce Fawn is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: gashing them up the middle. I don't know if they
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: could stop them. I don't know if they could stop
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Rico and and and and then if not, fake it
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and roll him out, because that's what Trey Lance can do.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: He can roll roll out. I'm not sure if he
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have when he did the rollout and the short
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: hopped it to Tabrico, I'm not sure he couldn't have
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: pumped that and ran and ran it in. You know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: he's so long and lanky that that you know there's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: ways to do that. So I just I don't know.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: You've had him for two seasons now, you see what
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he can do on the scouts team. You know what
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: he can run and all that. I just I didn't
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: love it. So I don't love I don't necessarily love
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: all the play on the penalties. It's you know, it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a that's part of preparation as well.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, it took somewhat defend the team when
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: when you do have a ton of injuries, and people
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: don't like to say that it's excuse, but it's just
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the facts. I mean, when you have a lot of injuries,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: that means you have a lot of different players playing.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: You have players playing not as not as practicing as
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: much as you should. That's where you're gonna get a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: lot of confusion. And that's where I think you're gonna
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: get a lot of penalties, especially the procedural ones, lining
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: up wrong, twelve men on the field, things like that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Some of the those are product of the injuries as well.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And let's not act like they haven't continued to cut
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: down practice time over and over again. But then again,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that's another side. I don't think the Cowboys practice as
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: much as they probably could and should, and sometimes it shows.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Jeremy DC.
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: Hey, yo, Nick, what's up man?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: I'm doing all right, man, I ain't spoke to you
• 17:24
  Speaker 13: all year.
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: How you been.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I'm good, good, good, good.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: You too.
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: You've been staying out of trouble.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I got you. Y oh yeah, yeah, we'll see, we'll see.
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: Day's not over yet, all right, man. So just to
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: piggyback a little, bit over what you were saying.
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: You know already how I felt about Mike McCarthy. I
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: feel like he's going to be here because I feel
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: like Jerry would not want to like change the have
• 17:51
  Speaker 13: a complete change of the offense, being as though he
• 17:53
  Speaker 13: just resigned that and that would really handicap the offense
• 17:57
  Speaker 13: if he bring in a complete overhaul. And then I
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: also the question that I forgot the other day was
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: basically that question that Randy asked yesterday about Miles Garrett,
• 18:09
  Speaker 13: and that's crazy. And then I wanted to ask you
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: with the first round pick would you want to get?
• 18:17
  Speaker 14: Who would you want to pick?
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: I me myself personally, I feel like we should get
• 18:22
  Speaker 13: either a wide receiver to help CD limb or offensive
• 18:26
  Speaker 13: lineman because we need help there. And my number for
• 18:30
  Speaker 13: the day is fifty two Protexter Cochley. And then how
• 18:36
  Speaker 13: do you what do you think about because I saw
• 18:38
  Speaker 13: that Mike Zimmer interview and like it does seem like
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: either the heck either the defensive coordinated thing is a
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: little too much more or he don't want to come back.
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: So how do you feel if they made our heirst
• 18:51
  Speaker 13: the DC and Mike Zimmer his assistant.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: And that's all.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I yeah, Mike Zimmer, the assistant to Al Harris. It
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: will snow in Oxnard. It will No, it will snow
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: in Oxnard training camp before that happens. Sorry, I tried
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to tell y'all last week, and I read between the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: lines that ain't happening, all right. No, no, no, that
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that that is the outside of the of the universe
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: right there. That's not outside of the happening at all.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And I don't see. I don't see those two coming back.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see. I don't know if Zimmer's
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: coming back, and I don't. I'll be surprised if Zimmer
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and al Harris are both on on the coaching staff.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'll be really surprised if that's the case. All Right,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: all right, Jeremy, thanks for the for the call. Got
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a lot there. Cochley is the fifty two. I can't
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: even think of an I mean like Jim Schwantz or
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: something like that. Maybe he made the Pro Bowl as
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a linebacker, a special teams linebacker, but no, Cokeley is
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite players of all time. And and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that that that you know, Bill
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: parce sells when he got here he knew a lot
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: of things like he did. I mean, he was he's
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a genius, and he's a football genius. He's an offensive
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: guy's a defensive guy. He knew everything. He knows how
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to coach punt returners and all that. And he had
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a mind made up about that win Dexter Cokeley, that
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: they can't play football, not a linebacker. That that they
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: they're not they're not good enough, they're not big enough
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: for sure, and uh, and Zimmer was like, man, why
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: don't you watch these two? Wean't see I mean, you
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: might be surprised because they can play. And he loved them.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: He loved both those two and so I I, you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: applaud him for saying, all right, I'm old school, show
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: me I'm wrong. And they did. And those two guys
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: showed him that he was wrong and he admitted that.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: So that's that's my two favorite stories about those two guys.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: It's just that even even a Hall of Fame coach
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: like Bill Parcells, he got them to kind of change, uh,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: changing his opinion about him. Who would I want to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: take in the first round again? Way early? There's other
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: shows for that. They're they're dissecting that, But I think
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: running back guard tackle depends on what you're doing there.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: You're the best linemen available, guard or tackle. I could
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I could handle either one right now, or or a
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: pass rusher. I mean, if you if you got one
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of those. There's some guys from the SEC coming out Georgia, Tennessee.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I believe if they if they're if they're like legit
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: pass rushers that that can you know, that can scream
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: off the edge a little bit, I'd be fine with that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: So uh But but you know, running back, like I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: said yesterday, I think I think you need to you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: need to get one early, especially a special one like that.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: And I watched I watched gent Platt. Didn't see a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: lot of him, but there was a run against Penn State,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: a ten yard run, and I was like, if, like
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: when he gets drafted by whoever it is, I hope
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: that's the run that they show when they show the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: highlights and stuff like that of him. I don't need
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to see a seventy seven yard run against Colorado State
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: or something like that, like that's great. Certainly need some
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: home run hitters, that's that's awesome. But there was a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: ten yard run where he probably broke six tackles against
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Penn State. That's the kind of running that you have
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to do in the playoffs against you know, in December,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: when you're going to Philly, you're going to Washington. You
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: got to get runs like that, and so that I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: thought that was really impressive. Penn State might be a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: NFL type of defense for sure. All Right, Ali and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Florida's been holding a little bit of Ali. What's up Man?
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Good morning, miss ave Man, Good morning.
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: How about you, sir?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Great? Great, thank you.
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: First, I want to start the safe pray for the
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: people in Los Angeles. They have a really bad fire.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: So having said that, I've got an idea. Uh, then
• 23:01
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna have a question about a couple of the
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: players that I love. First, I think everybody loves Darren Woodson.
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: He's going for.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Hall of Fame.
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: If you get a chance to talk to him to
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: see if he has a favorite animal, I'll provide the
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: picture and storyliners they can sign the card for when
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: he goes to Hall of Fame. Either he goes or not,
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: at least you have something nice positive for him on
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: the side.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: His favorite animal.
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, any favorite animal, I'll provide. Send you a picture.
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: You give it to him on behalf of all the storyliners.
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: You know, okay, so then this is okay about photographing
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: them back ball. They have a new name for him,
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: Alabama versus Michigan, and it is a guard there.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: My god, I love to have him. His name is.
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: Tyler Booker, number fifty two.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: He malls. I'll tell you he's just.
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: Like one of those best guard protect the dacks, right
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: next to the center. I think it would be a
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: great I don't know. He's projected to be number one
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: the draft picks by late. I was thinking maybe under
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: if the gen Z is not available on the twelve,
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: they trade down couple picks and then pick him up
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: for a second round pick. As far as like a VP.
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: From twelve we go to fifteen, we pick up a
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: second round and my favorite player is camp Scatterblue. That kid,
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: he's a great runner. I know he's gonna be a
• 25:02
  Speaker 11: third third round, but everybody jumped ahead of us. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: know he's gonna go probably late second that. I'm gonna
• 25:10
  Speaker 11: get your opinion on both of them, if.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: You know them.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know Booker, I don't I'm
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: not familiar with him. I've seen scattaboy just a few times. Obviously,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that last game, I'm not sure what kind of pro
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: he's going to be. You know, he's he's dynamic, you
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: know at Arizona State, and he took that game over.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: He could you know almost what two hundred and ninety
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: nine yards is that? Is that what it was? Of
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: of passing? He passed for forty five in a touchdown,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and he had like one hundred and receiving and and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and then of course like one forty running. He was
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: gassed after that game, but but I mean why not.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's playing that's the best defense he's faced
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: all year, and and he carried that team on his back.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So he's he's impressive. You know, he'll go to a
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: team that that they'll figure out the role for him,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and that's that's that's what it is. I mean, you
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: see the scatback type guys and then there's guys like him.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: He'll have to play some special teams, but I think he'll,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I think he'll be a good, a good,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: solid player. I don't see him being like a featured back,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: but I see him being somebody that they can kind
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of have a role because he can do a lot
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of things, and you can laugh at this if you want.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I just don't know if you're not getting that type
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: of production from Hunter Lipkey. I mean, it's easy to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: compare a college guy two to a pro guy and go, well,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: this guy does a lot more. But but on the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: next level, would he? I don't. I don't really know that,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: so I I I think you kind of have a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: version of of of Cam Skataboo with with Hunter Lipkey,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: so without the draft pick of having to to you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: send it out there. All right, I'll ask Darren what's
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: in that that question? What his favorite animal? He'll probably
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: young thing. I just I just sent him a message.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: You probably thinks that's like spam. What's your favorite animal? Anyway?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Ronnie in New Jersey. Hey, Nick,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: what's up man?
• 27:13
  Speaker 15: Nick?
• 27:14
  Speaker 14: Real real quick? If I could piggyback from one of
• 27:16
  Speaker 14: the callers from yesterday, he when he called you, he
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: told you that that he listens to all the shows
• 27:23
  Speaker 14: and most of us do, and and he says he
• 27:26
  Speaker 14: appreciates your show and every other show, And Nick, I
• 27:31
  Speaker 14: agree on I listened to as many shows as I
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: can because some of them are very fun very very funny,
• 27:40
  Speaker 14: informative but funny at the same time. And I don't know,
• 27:44
  Speaker 14: I just I'm you know, I'm a fan. So I
• 27:47
  Speaker 14: love the shows. I love the interaction between the guys.
• 27:52
  Speaker 14: I love seeing you sometimes when you go to one
• 27:54
  Speaker 14: of the shows we're hanging with the boys or anything
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: like that, because you know, it's like we see a
• 28:00
  Speaker 14: us inside of you sometimes, you know, so, so that's
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: kind of cool. Yeah, and yeah, I just wanted to
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: piggybag up for that and say you that that I
• 28:07
  Speaker 14: love all you know, all the shows, and that He's
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: one hundred percent right. You guys are why we watch
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: and why we listen, and especially guys like you, because
• 28:17
  Speaker 14: you're you're you seem to be, and you are, from
• 28:20
  Speaker 14: what we see, a straight shooter. And that's one of
• 28:23
  Speaker 14: the things we appreciate from you and the other guys.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: And I love Chris.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: You should watch me at Fortnite, Ronnie. I appreciate that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna flip it back to you like I like
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I do. On a lot of times, you guys ask
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: questions and I said, well, what do you think?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You say that we're the reason why you guys are
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: able to be informed or whatever. Well, you guys are
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the reason we're able to have a platform. You know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: if we didn't have listeners, they wouldn't keep doing the podcasts,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: We wouldn't keep doing it like we do so and
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: we know that that's the same with anything. You don't
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: have customers, you don't open the store.
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: And so, honestly is what brings us to you, you
• 29:03
  Speaker 14: know what I'm saying. And I also appreciate Jerry Jones
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: for letting you guys do what you guys do because
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: I used to watch some of the shows on TV,
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: you know, some of the broadcast channels ESPN, but they're
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: so biased and they're so you know whatever. I stop
• 29:20
  Speaker 14: watching all that stuff a long time ago, just because
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: I'd rather get it from you guys, because you're you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: we're better to get it from straight from the source,
• 29:29
  Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why.
• 29:31
  Speaker 14: We appreciate you guys, because you guys are honest about
• 29:33
  Speaker 14: it too. So can I ask you real quick before.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: You got to hang up?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, you set that up and you said you're
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: a straight shooter and you're honest. Now you're gonna ask
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: a question, and you're like, better be honest about it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 14: So why why you just said a little while ago
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: somebody asked about Al Harris and Mike. I hope that
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: if if the coach does come back the head coach,
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: I hope he's tied up with back to his contract
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: like a three year like if they give him an extension,
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: just give him a three year extension. And and because honestly,
• 30:08
  Speaker 14: I don't see anything that McCarty has done that's made
• 30:10
  Speaker 14: this team great. Discipline has been an issue for a
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: long time Under McCarthy. Discipline has been an issue. Uh,
• 30:19
  Speaker 14: he's not great as a play caller or manager, So
• 30:24
  Speaker 14: I hope he's doing great at something else because that's
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: that doesn't seem to be his forte. And if you
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: do bring back Mike Mike McCarthy, you can't have two
• 30:35
  Speaker 14: nice guys, you know what I'm saying. Like I know
• 30:38
  Speaker 14: that supposedly Mike are a defense defensive coach, He's not
• 30:44
  Speaker 14: as vocal or as tough as he was, So maybe
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: an Al Harris would be great candidate to be a
• 30:51
  Speaker 14: defensive coordinator if Mike does decide to leave or retired
• 30:56
  Speaker 14: or whatever he wants to do. Uh, because you need
• 30:59
  Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, You need a yang to
• 31:01
  Speaker 14: the end. You can't have two sweet guys being the coaches.
• 31:06
  Speaker 14: And he seems he's one of the few coaches that
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: I've seen, uh you know, the assistant coaches that gets
• 31:14
  Speaker 14: something out of their players. All his quarnerbacks seem to
• 31:17
  Speaker 14: make plays and get into a groove, you know. Uh,
• 31:22
  Speaker 14: he develops his players. That's what I'm trying to say.
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: I don't see that much development from from the other coaches, not,
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: you know, not from what we've seen. And if we're
• 31:32
  Speaker 14: gonna draft something, God, Jerry Jones is always want said
• 31:38
  Speaker 14: and I don't see why we don't draft that, but
• 31:42
  Speaker 14: let's get big guys in the middle, like in the
• 31:45
  Speaker 14: defensive line. He knows he always says that the one
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: thing he likes to protect the quarterbacks from is that
• 31:51
  Speaker 14: pressure coming down the middle. So why don't you draft
• 31:54
  Speaker 14: guys down the middle on the defensive line that put
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: that pressure on the quarterbacks, Like you know what I'm saying,
• 32:02
  Speaker 14: Like he said one thing, but he does the complete opposite.
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: And if you're gonna draft a defensive lignment, this is
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: the perfect time.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: To draft them.
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: Make sure you get a big nose tackle or big
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: time somebody that could stop the rune.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, thanks for taking.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Running, appreciate it all right, you know, I mean, just
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: you got nineteen different guys that you want to draft
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: in the first round. I mean, like you know, they
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: they did, they drafted Mozzie Smith, big strong, defensive tackle,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and that hasn't you know, that hasn't He hasn't had
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the impact that you that you wanted to see out
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: of him from a first round pick. And so, uh,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you know when they've when they've picked in the middle
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: of the first round, you know they've they've got different guys.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: You know, they've gotten the Layton vander Esher linebacker, They've
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: gotten a CD Lamb. I'm looking at that seventeen eighteen range.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, if you get a you know, you
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: you take a defensive tackle at this spot. You know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the pick that comes to mind from from this area
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: of a defensive tackle. I want to say videveya maybe
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: like eleven ten, eleven something like that with the Bucks
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and he changes their defense. So I mean, then again,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: like don Tari Poe from Kansas City who ended up
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: here for like a few hours. You know, I don't
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: think he had that same impact. Uh there he might have.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: He might have early on. But yeah, I mean if
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you if you get you know, a difference maker like that,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: like that would be interesting. But the second round, you
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: see those guys in the second round and then they
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a reason why they're in the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: second round. So uh, big strong defensive tackles that aren't
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: going in the top ten, top fifteen, then there's a
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: reason why. And and sometimes you know, some some they
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: have to prove themselves. They have to say, you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: they have to show that that you know, are they
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: were they lazy? They get they just two out of shape?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Can they not play a full game? Are they not
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: quick off the ball here? You know, do they not?
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Are they not as strong as they need to be?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: All those kind of things. So just like with any position,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: but I yeah, I think that it's one that they
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: could be addressed because it's the same with the offensive line.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: This is what Lester and from Minnesota always says, is
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: that if you can get that offense and defensive line together,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: those are the positions that help all of them better.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: You know, all of the guys Michael will rush better,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: with the defensive tackles there, Dak and the running backs
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: will do better with that offensive line better as well.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: And I say that, and Lester's actually on the line.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: But we're gonna go. Let's take a quick break, real
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: quick on Cowboys storyline. Take a break. We'll be right

  Speaker 1: having a different start. We go at nine thirty nine
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: thirty Central time, be able to go a full hour,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit longer than that. So that's that's good.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: And try to give you guys as much time as
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you can. I know, going from five shows to one,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a big change for all of
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: us and some of the callers as well, So we
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: try to get a little extra time at least on
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: this show. Let's go to Lonnie in Kansas.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: Lonnie, Hey, what's going on?
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: I'm doing well, just freezing my butt off with the
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: snow one stuff we had.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: All right, well, first time caller, right, yeah, you go,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: all right, let's hear it. What do you got, hey?
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: I just two things. One, on the draft, pick the
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: best guy that's gonna make the biggest impact that you
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: can get period that will help your team. That's that's
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: what you got to do. You're not picking number one,
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: you're picking what twelve? So pick the best guy that's
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: gonna help you, and you got lots of choices, I think,
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: so no big deal there. Just pick the best guy
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: that can come in and play almost right away. That's
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: what you need.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: And that's that's probably gonna be a guard, that's gonna
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: be like a guard or a tackle because those are
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the guys.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: That'll go with that.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm good with that too, because the last time
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you did that was Zach Nortin.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: Yep. And I've said it all year, watched them play
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: no matter what. Yeah, they're injuries, all that created a
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: lot to have it and uh but uh, you gotta
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: have you gotta have a line. You gotta have a
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: line on both sides of the ball. That's all there
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: is to it. If you can run the ball, you
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: got to run the ball. You got to stop the run, period.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: And uh So but secondly on McCarthy, I'm okay, whatever
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: they do, is there somebody better available? Maybe, but you know,
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: it is what it is. And uh but I think
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: they need to look at some play calling issues. That's
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: been my issue with McCarthy, just play calling. I think
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: you ought to let somebody else do it. And uh
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: because the players play for him, they're going to play
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: for him. Yeah, Green Bay in it. They played for him.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: And if you can get your players to play for you,
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: and you've got good players and good coaches, you got
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: to have good coaches below Mike. That's all I mean,
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: that's anything. You know. When I was the sheriff of
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: our cow, I mean, I wanted guys smarter than me
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: below me because they're the guys that are going to
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: get things done.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Uh whoa, whoa, whoa, You're you're the sheriff.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: I was, yeah, okay, I'm retired, and uh, you know,
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: you've got to have smart people below you that can
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: do their that are going to go out and do
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: their job and do their job for you and what's
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: best for the team. And that's what you gotta have
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: to And that's all I got. That's what I think
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: they need to do. And I'm okay with McCarthy, just uh,
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: maybe get an offensive coordinator and some play calling besides Mike.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: Sometimes I think his play calling it's not the greatest
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: at times, there's times they should I think they should
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: run the ball when you need a yard, get your yard.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, but that that comes down to that
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: offensive line that they just don't trust that they don't
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: trust right and then and then that was having.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: A problem too. Yeah, that's been the problem too. You know,
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: you got to have an offensive line to get those
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: yards and and want to get those yards. And they
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: got better and uh, but they just need some help.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, well.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: But hey, this is awesome. I'm glad I found the show.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: I just kind of retired and was just setting on
• 40:24

  Speaker 1: seeing it on the list. Oh, Leicester, See that's your fault, Chris,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: you talk too much. I'm just kidding, Lester. What's up man?
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Offensive defensive line.
• 41:47
  Speaker 10: At the same time, Hey, Nick, good morning man. I
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: just want to make a comment on what you guys
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: were talking about yesterday. But as far as play getting
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: some playmakers. My two favorite Cowboys were Roger Staubach and
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: Michael Irvin. Mike or Irvin, they both were playmakers. So
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: I think if when we draft, if we were the
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: draft like like the sheriff was saying, smart players, but
• 42:19
  Speaker 10: smart players that are playmakers. I mean, that'll just make
• 42:22
  Speaker 10: your team.
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: That much better.
• 42:26
  Speaker 10: As far as what Irene was, Santa, who would you
• 42:29
  Speaker 10: like to send the Super Bowl? Of course the Cowboys,
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: but they're not there. So I'm gonna say the Chargers
• 42:37
  Speaker 10: and Minnesota. I live here some Minnesota or.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Whatever you want to say. Now, do you like root
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: against them? Are you kind of like, hey, that's cool?
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: You know, like then you kind of somewhat root for
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: them just because you probably know a lot of Vikings fans.
• 42:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 19: I mean.
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: When I meet by fans because I always have my
• 43:01
  Speaker 10: Cowboy gear on, you know, they asked me if I'm
• 43:04
  Speaker 10: from Texas, I say no, no, no, I grew up
• 43:06
  Speaker 10: in Chicago. But anyway, I let them know that I
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: don't have anything against you guys as long as you're
• 43:12
  Speaker 10: not playing against the Cowboys. But I'm a true and
• 43:14
  Speaker 10: true Cowboy fan and that's it.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:17
  Speaker 10: I don't really rude or follow anyone else. But like
• 43:21
  Speaker 10: you said, I live here, so I know a little bit,
• 43:23
  Speaker 10: you know, So I say, Okay, it's fine. I hope
• 43:25
  Speaker 10: you guys win as long as you're not playing the Cowboys.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I got it all right. You got any other.
• 43:30
  Speaker 10: Points, yeah, well, you know, until we get offensive and
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: the defensive line at the same time. Yep, Well we
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: have Cowboys fans, all right, No Cowboys, there we go.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what I think about Ezekiel Elliott.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: If the Chargers, I don't see them going to the
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. So I don't really worry about that. But
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't want to that to happen. They're on
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: that list with the Eagles to me. But but you
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: know that that would be weird for Zeke to, you know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: to have the season that he's had. Uh, you know,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: didn't didn't exactly do everything the right way, got left
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: behind for a game. Uh, there's a lot of times,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: you know where you're just wondering, what what are we
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: doing here? I mean, it was the definition of a
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: progress stopper, and you know, it wasn't wasn't that great
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: when he had the ball and all that, then to
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: be cut, to ask for a release, to get cut
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: and then sign up with another team. You know, I
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: don't think the Chargers will be going to the super Bowl,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: but if it was at a team that had a
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: legitimate shot, I mean, I don't know what Cowboy fans
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: would think about that. You know, happy for him that
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: that you know, that he got a shot, you know,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: because that's the way they were for DeMarcus Ware and
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: all that. But DeMarcus wasn't here getting getting suspended and
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: getting fine for for you know, condruct detrimental to the
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: team type stuff, you know, and then then get cut
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the season or at the end
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: of the season and then go sign another team. Either way,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think he'll have I don't even know if
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: he'll play in the game. He's on the practice squad.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I guess With the Chargers, we'll see. As for who
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: you want to see, I mean again, I don't ever
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: have a problem with the Chiefs. I think Patrick Mahomes
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: is amazing. I love watching him play. And you know
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: they're they're as far as the NFC goes, it doesn't matter,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you know. We'll see what the Lions can do. I mean,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't dislike Dan Campbell, but I'll say this,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: you know that coaching style can can get you beat
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: if you're if you're that aggressive all the time, uh,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: it can. It can backfire on you. So we'll see
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: how it is. But they're fun to watch. I mean,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: they're they're they're tough, and they're gritty, you know, fast,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're they're all the things that you want.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: They remind me a lot of those nineties Cowboys teams
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: early on, you know, just because they rite they were physical,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: they ran the ball, they had dynamic receivers, they were
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: super fast, and you know the way Jim Coach was like, Hey,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I believe in my team, I'm gonna go for it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: And so that's kind of the way Dan Campbell is.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Gary in New Mexico.
• 46:08
  Speaker 20: Hey, Cap, you new here?
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: How's it going good?
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 46:11
  Speaker 20: I'm good man. Got a couple of quick trivia questions
• 46:13
  Speaker 20: for you, all right. Number one, how many Super Bowls
• 46:16
  Speaker 20: have I won in the last twenty eight years?
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Have you won? I don't know.
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the number is.
• 46:22
  Speaker 20: Jerry Jones, I don't know how good you are at Madden?
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 46:25
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I've won the same number as Jerry. None. Okay, now, real,
• 46:29
  Speaker 20: real fun trivia question. No, it's playoff time, so we
• 46:32
  Speaker 20: can do some Cowboys playoff trivia.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Right, That's all we got.
• 46:35
  Speaker 20: Okay, So the Cowboys have had two players that have
• 46:39
  Speaker 20: each intercepted three passes in a playoff game, and that's
• 46:42
  Speaker 20: tied for second best in NFL history. Can you name
• 46:44
  Speaker 20: those two.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Players three picks in a game?
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: Yes, their a playoff game.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: In a playoff game, Charlie Waters.
• 46:54
  Speaker 20: Yes, that's one.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Man. Oh Man. Can you give me a is it
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: before or after? Before or after?
• 47:02
  Speaker 20: It went on to a long career as an assistant
• 47:04
  Speaker 20: coach in the NFL, A.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Long before or after? Charlie Waters?
• 47:10
  Speaker 20: Uh, same time and then after? Okay had a nickname
• 47:14
  Speaker 20: for the secondary back during the early to mid eighties.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know this, I know, and I know the game.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: I know the game. It's thenis Thurman And it was
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: against the Packers in the nineteen eighty two divisional game
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: and one of them was for a touchdown. I know this.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Dennis Therman, Charlie Waters.
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: Thurman thieves.
• 47:31
  Speaker 20: Dennis Thurman won them up. That dude. He got burned
• 47:34
  Speaker 20: a lot, but what he could lay the wood? Yeah,
• 47:37
  Speaker 20: he could make plays. I love Dennis. I would have
• 47:39
  Speaker 20: loved to have seen Dennis Thurman at some point come
• 47:41
  Speaker 20: back and coach with the Cowboys, but it never worked out.
• 47:44
  Speaker 20: Yeah me too, my favorite players. Yeah, well, I don't
• 47:47
  Speaker 20: really know what to talk about with this year's team
• 47:50
  Speaker 20: because we don't know until we know who the coach is.
• 47:52
  Speaker 20: That's true, and I'm okay, you know, I'm getting out.
• 47:55
  Speaker 20: I don't know what they know. I'm just gonna have
• 47:58
  Speaker 20: to trust them, even though they've given me no reasons.
• 48:00
  Speaker 20: But whoever the coach is, whether it's McCarthy or somebody else,
• 48:05
  Speaker 20: it's about the players. Really. You got to give them
• 48:07
  Speaker 20: the tools. You know, Tom Landry did not become a
• 48:10
  Speaker 20: bad coach at the end of his career. He had
• 48:13
  Speaker 20: Steve Palus, his quarterback. Jimmie Johnson didn't become a bad
• 48:17
  Speaker 20: coach when he went to Miami. He just didn't have Michael,
• 48:19
  Speaker 20: Emmett and Troy in their prime. So you got and
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: just let me say this and I'll get off the phone.
• 48:26
  Speaker 20: It's easy to criticize play calling, but we don't know
• 48:30
  Speaker 20: what the play calls are. We just don't. That's so
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: wide open because you know, the quarterback can change the play.
• 48:38
  Speaker 20: The quarterback may not execute the play the way the
• 48:40
  Speaker 20: play is designed. So I'm just I'm real leery about
• 48:44
  Speaker 20: just constantly criticizing play calling because we don't know nearly
• 48:47
  Speaker 20: as much as we think we do. But I'm optimistic
• 48:50
  Speaker 20: that we'll get some better talent and get this thing
• 48:52
  Speaker 20: turned around. But thank you for taking my call.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, Gary. And you know what, you're right
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: about that for when it comes to play calling about
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: we don't know exactly what has happened there in certain
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: certain situations. You know, they some quarterbacks do check out
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: of plays, check out of runs, what they see and
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: all that. That's that's what comes down to, you know,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: how how they process things, how they how they study,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: you know, when they see a certain look, what are
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: they supposed to check it to? Things like that. I
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: look at stuff like into the game, like I mentioned earlier,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: into the game, when when it's a minute and thirty
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: two seconds to go and it's third and four and
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: you've got a four point lead around midfield, do you
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: run this ball and say it probably not gonna get it,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: but we'll see if we can run it, and we'll we'll,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: you know, get it down to forty seconds or so
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: and then punt or are you gonna throw it? And
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: and that's not that you know that that's more game
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: management than it is play calling a little bit. But
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: you and those are things you don't check out of.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: And sometimes you can say, you know, I don't know
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: if Trey Lance checked out of plays down there by
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: the goal line, but you can certainly say we're running
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the football down here, We're gonna run it and or
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do things that that could get him sort
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: of on the move. I think you've seen enough though
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: to kind of know what type of play caller that
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: he is. And it's not as as dynamic. You know,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I think Brandon Cooks has not been utilized the right way,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: and and I know I'm not the only one that
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: thinks that way. He's not a guy that could go
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: He's not a jump ball guy. Okay, he's not going
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: to the NBA. He's not. That's not his game. It's
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: not it's not vertical in that regard. It's vertical down
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: the field, it's across the field. He's a goal line
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: type type route runner, but not necessarily a jump ball.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: But we have seen plays around the goal line where
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: he can move in and out and and you know,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: kind of use the width of the field a little bit. Again.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: You know, they had three quarterbacks this year and and
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: he missed a lot of a lot of time as well,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: So you know those are those are things. Last year
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: you kind of saw that rapport with him and Dak,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: and then this year didn't didn't happen again. You're you're
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: right about about play calling, But I do think we've
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: seen enough to know that there's there's too many times
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: where it just it's not the way, not the way
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I would call a game. But then again, I've never
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: called one, so what do I know? All right, let's
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: go to Robbie Coco Beach, Florida. I knew he would
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: get in. Robbie, what's up?
• 51:26
  Speaker 15: You knew I would get in, but Bean tried to
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: cut me off.
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: He hung up the phone on me.
• 51:30
  Speaker 19: I ain't been giving him enough love.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I guess hung up on Robbie.
• 51:35
  Speaker 15: I know I might even get defensive.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: It happens. Get over it. Hey, Hey, yop, they're in
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Cocoa Beach, Florida. They got bridges. Yeah, get over it,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: all right, Robbie was kidding. What's going on?
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 51:50
  Speaker 20: Hey?
• 51:50
  Speaker 15: I want to answer Irene's question. I think I'd like
• 51:52
  Speaker 15: to see the Lions win the Super Bowl, only because
• 51:55
  Speaker 15: it kind of like Dan Campbellen.
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: He was with us in three years.
• 51:59
  Speaker 15: I mean it was still it was still funny about
• 52:01
  Speaker 15: last year though.
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, like the playoff lost.
• 52:03
  Speaker 15: That Calwoods was great, but you know, that's a little
• 52:06
  Speaker 15: bit of pitching pie and the team I wanted to
• 52:09
  Speaker 15: always loses the Eagles because we all hate the Eagles.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I think I think if the Packers went into Philly
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: ran the football right down their throat, one would be
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: thirty points. I think number one. It would be fine
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: to see Philly lose number two. It would make them
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: feel a little bit better after what green Bay did
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: as the seventh seed going to the two.
• 52:35
  Speaker 14: So you know, yeah, it would be a little bit
• 52:37
  Speaker 14: of a humble pie a little bit.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: But but uh, I don't you know what.
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: I think though, I don't think they could handle it
• 52:43
  Speaker 15: as well as we did.
• 52:44
  Speaker 14: I mean, I know, I know we.
• 52:46
  Speaker 15: Didn't have the year we wanted, and you know, I'm
• 52:48
  Speaker 15: mister positive, but to have that horrible outcome at the
• 52:52
  Speaker 15: last game, the playoff game, and then come back and
• 52:55
  Speaker 15: McCarthy still have the locker room on his side throughout
• 52:58
  Speaker 15: the whole season ups and downs, and I don't know,
• 53:02
  Speaker 15: I think McCarty did great to keep the locker room.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know Robbie. I mean, I don't know how
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: they handled it. I mean, they they lost that game.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: It was the first loss at home in like sixteen games,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and then they didn't and then they didn't win at
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: home for like nine months, and then and every one
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 53:19
  Speaker 15: How maybe we have heard, Nick, I'm not being just
• 53:22
  Speaker 15: and that's the only reason. But we had so many
• 53:24
  Speaker 15: people heard the whole season. I'm impressed with McCarty kept
• 53:28
  Speaker 15: part that's time and that's what you just said.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: How they handled that loss. And I don't know if
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: they handled it well, because I know that it was
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: they It affected them, you know because a lot of
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: the games that they were losing, the Saints, the Lions,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: sat the Ravens, all those games were blowouts in the
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: first half. Now the Ravens they figured out how to
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: come back and they got you know, Rare on sidekick
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: to make it closer. All those games were blowout So
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they did handle it so well.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: After that loss. I think it proved that man here
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: at this stadium, we can get our ass kicked, and
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: they did.
• 54:06
  Speaker 19: I agree with that.
• 54:07
  Speaker 15: So, but agreeing on the point of that that McCarthy
• 54:11
  Speaker 15: had that team wanting to play.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they didn't quit. They certainly they never quit.
• 54:16
  Speaker 15: And that is a beautiful thing. Just look at Philly
• 54:19
  Speaker 15: last year, the year before, they were doing so good,
• 54:21
  Speaker 15: so good, so good, and then all of a sudden,
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: one game loss and it exploded. Receivers were yelling at quarterbacks,
• 54:28
  Speaker 15: quarterbacks were walking away from receivers and they just imploded.
• 54:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah, all right, and then we came in.
• 54:34
  Speaker 15: And got the number two spot. I think that's coaching, man,
• 54:37
  Speaker 15: that's why you little dog McCarthy. I think consistency, consistency, consistency,
• 54:42
  Speaker 15: and that's all I got to say. Nick, I have
• 54:43
  Speaker 15: a great day, my friend.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: You to we'll talk to a couple, all right, Rob,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call. All right, let's go to Washington
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: to Steve Is in Washington. Hey, what's up, man Happy.
• 54:59
  Speaker 19: I'm the one I told you last year that we
• 55:03
  Speaker 19: got five points to the Star and five Super Bowls
• 55:06
  Speaker 19: and we can't win another one until we had another
• 55:08
  Speaker 19: point to that Star. So, uh, I know Jerry Jones
• 55:15
  Speaker 19: is always listening to the show, So I got some
• 55:18
  Speaker 19: advice for him.
• 55:20
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 55:21
  Speaker 19: I know he likes to keep the Cowboys in the headline,
• 55:26
  Speaker 19: and I figured the best free agent move he could
• 55:29
  Speaker 19: make next year to keep the Cowboys in the headline
• 55:33
  Speaker 19: would be too uh. Sign in free agency Stefon Diggs.
• 55:40
  Speaker 19: Reunite the two brothers together on the same team, I
• 55:44
  Speaker 19: think would be fun. H. I think that would solve
• 55:49
  Speaker 19: our receiver room. H. Also, I think the first three
• 55:57
  Speaker 19: picks in the draft should be running back, a big
• 56:02
  Speaker 19: left tackle moved bighting over to the right side, and
• 56:06
  Speaker 19: then a defensive tackle in whatever order in the cruse
• 56:10
  Speaker 19: three rounds. I think that uh. I think McCarthy should stay.
• 56:17
  Speaker 19: That it maybe a.
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: New, young, innovative.
• 56:22
  Speaker 19: Offensive coordinator to call the play and go in. And
• 56:27
  Speaker 19: I'm also thinking I haven't heard much about possible. I'm
• 56:31
  Speaker 19: thinking that maybe he didn't have the best year for
• 56:34
  Speaker 19: the team, didn't have the best year in special team
• 56:37
  Speaker 19: excluding Stield Gold team. But I don't I think it
• 56:45
  Speaker 19: was kind of missed times.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about that one. I mean,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: you had you had a kick returner, the only kick
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: returner I mean in the league that had a punt
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: and a kickoff for a touchdown had another kickoff return.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Not not that he was supposed to score, but he
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: did one Ye Thomas and you had. You know, you
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: had a you have a punter and a deep snapper
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: that might end up at the Pro Bowl as well.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: So you had you have four specialists and two of
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: them are in the Pro Bowl, and two of them
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: could make it. I mean, I I we we hear
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: the fake punts of the face you know we're bad
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: and and but you know, I don't know if the
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: if the special teams was really that bad. I don't
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: remember a lot of like big returns against them, So
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I I think that he
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: had a pretty good year for a special teams coach.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: I think you got to reel him in a little
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: bit on these fakes. Don't don't give him as much
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: leeway I think as he has. But I you know,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: got to remember when you have a lot of injuries,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: that means it trickles down and your special teams. You know,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: now they did lose a game on special teams. They did.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: They did over you know, fielded the ball. He shouldn't have.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: They lost the game so that you could say they
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: lost it, but I bet you they won. They won
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: four or five of their wins where they won because
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: of special teams. You know, So anyways, all right, what
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 58:07
  Speaker 19: What do you think about Naggie coming in Kansas City?
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: I think that's a chance.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: No, I mean again, it all, it all starts. It's
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: got to start at the top and then and then
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: if that happens, then we'll we'll see, you know how
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: with with these other coaches come in. But I don't
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: I don't like to get too far on underneath when
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: you haven't figured out the top part yet.
• 58:30
  Speaker 19: So right, how about uh, what do you think about
• 58:34
  Speaker 19: the digs stuff on Digs? I think that could be
• 58:37
  Speaker 19: affordable because he's coming off knee injury.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Just just those two guys rehabbing together. Uh, I mean,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: I I don't I don't see that happening. I think
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I think there's a better chance you have zero digs
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: on the team then you have two digs on the team.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Leave it at that. So all right, all right, Steve,
• 59:03

• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: We get in yesterday?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Fifteen? Fifteen calls?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: And I'll say this, Yeah.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: I feel bad sometimes for Chris's kids, because I bet
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: you when he gets on him, I mean he keeps
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: him in line. Because he got on the callers yesterday
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: before they said keep it quick, and next thing.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 7: You know, oh yeah, there was reprimand I mean pre
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 7: reprimand you know, we took three.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Breaks we went less than an hour and we had
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: fifteen calls. Today we're going an hour and a half
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: and we're sitting at twelve. That's because we're letting them talk.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: And Rob hadn't even called Rob from Vegas.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 7: I has been called you. I know he gets the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: red carpet. He got a call in yesterday too. So yeah, yeah,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 7: good y'all, y'all are running a tight ship. Shout out
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 7: to Beam, he's a man. Yeah, Hey, just quick note.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: We're in the off season looking to what's next.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 6: I've said this before.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 7: But I really think this draft, this the decisions we
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: make this offseason. I mean, it just has to work.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: I think about Tony Romo's career and Dak and they're
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 7: always going to be linked because of the proximity and
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 7: all that, but just kind of front office decision making
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 7: him team building. I feel like they're kind of following
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: the same trajectory. You know, we finally got Romo Levine
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: in a running game in twenty fourteen, and he was
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: too old at that time, he was thirty four, and
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 7: you know, he was injured the next two seasons to
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 7: really enjoy, you know, full offense. At his disposal, and
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: you know, Dak is what thirty one now, and I'm like,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: all right, he's had some injury all that, and you
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: know the next part of his career has to be uh,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 7: you know, to support him the best we can. It's
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: got to have this line workout. Shout out to Leicster me.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: I feel like we're this is becoming a Lester train,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: you know, just following his uh call for a good
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 7: line and then a good running game because uh, that's
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: that's what's going to make the ship float. And so
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: well that's all I got, man. I just really really
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: really want the best for Dak and this team, and
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: I think he comes with a good line and a
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 7: good running game for him.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I agree, And and you know, thank you, thanks for
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: the call back. And I mean, no offense, I mean,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: let Lester knows this. I mean he said, I mean,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: you guys are all all kind of saying this about offense,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: defensive line. But but this is no secret. Okay, this
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: is this is no secret sauce for playing football. Any
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: coach in any level where you coach on Sundays, Saturdays
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: for nights, or you're in the Wednesday Thursday seventh grade
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: a JV team you're telling your your team, hey, we
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: can if we run the ball and we stop the run,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: we're gonna win. Well, how do you run the ball
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: and stop the run. That means you have a good
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: offensive line and you have a good defensive line. And
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: if it happens in the same game, then it happens
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: at the same time. So that's that's how you win games.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Run the it's physical, being big, strong, physical, there's there's
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: no secret to that. That's how you play complimentary football.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: You can run the ball, protect the lead, you know,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: protect the clock, get the lead. Next thing, you know,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: you protect the lead by stopping, you know, the stop
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: of the run. Now you force them to pass. You
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: force them to pass, and and you know, you pin
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: your ears back, you'll get the sacks, you get the turnover,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: you run the ball. You know, it's it's it's the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: it's the cycle. So he's not wrong. But I'm saying
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: this is this is nothing new for for football. I mean,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: this is this is how this is how you win games.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Is definitely how you win games in the playoffs, because
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs is where you're not gonna see a
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: lot of throwing the ball around and all that even
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: in those indoor games. Uh, you'll it's things get get
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: get tight, and you've got to be able to run it.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: You've got to be able to stop it. All right,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: let's go to Joe and El Paso.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how are you good?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: First time? Yeah, out of the way, all right, Joe. Uh.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Favorite player of all time.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: Toy ak Man, definitely him, toy ak Man. Michael Irvin.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: I remember when the Cowboys didn't make the playoffs once.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: One time, they were playing the last game of the season.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: They were I was watching it on TV, you know,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: they were there were I think that year there was
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: only sixteen games in the regular season. They might have
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: gone nine and seven, and the last game was against
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: Philadelphia and they missed the playoffs. And I saw Michael
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: Irvin crying on the sideline because they didn't make the playoffs.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: And I guess that's what he missed about this about
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: the old Cowboys and the new Cowboys. Yeah, I mean
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: they took pride in losing. They took pride in winning
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: when they when they lost, they hurt. I like Michael
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: Parsons can't stand the podcast, you know what I mean,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: one of my favorite players. But I mean he should
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: focus more on watching film, you know what I mean,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: weight room, then then then doing podcasts. That's my personal opinion.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: But the main reason that I'm calling is I'm hearing
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: a lot of I want to get your thoughts on
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: whether they're going to bring Mike McCarthy back.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: The way I feel about no, I'll let you finish,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: The way I feel about Mike McCarthy is the way
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: I felt about Jason Garrett. You know, if you look
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: up Jason Garrett's stats, he won three divisional titles. He
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: has the second most wins as a coach in team history.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: But he never made a substantial run in the playoffs
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: after the after the fur year contract was up. The
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: only reason why they brought him back was because he drafted.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: He drafted Jeeke and Dak and they made the they
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: made they made that playoff run. Other than that he would,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: they wouldn't have extended. In my opinion, and I feel
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: the scene for McCarthy, it's going to be the same reoccurring,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: reoccurring story that you're going to bring them back for
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: two three years and he's gonna get regular season games,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: but he's not gonna do anything substantial in the playoffs.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 19: What are your dogs?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I I'm I'm one of those that I don't.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think that there's necessarily a trend for that
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: with the playoffs. I mean I think that they've they
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: weren't good enough, you know. I mean, there's there's gonna
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: be teams. There's there's what fourteen teams that make the playoffs.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, twelve of them aren't good enough to make
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: it to the super Bowl. They are good enough talent
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: wise to to be that team, but when it's over,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: they won't be good enough. So the Bills, the Ravens,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. There's three good teams in the AFC. One
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: of them is not making it to the championship game.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: That's just that's how good my math is. I can
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: tell you that. So my point is that, you know,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: I think that what you want is you want to
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: have a team good enough to be in that conversation,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: because you got to have it. You got to be
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: playing the right way. You got to have some luck,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: you got to have the ball bounce your way in
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. You gotta have it working for you in
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. But you got to get there. You got
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: to get there, and you got to be a good
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: enough team to be there. And I think Mike McCarthy
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: has proven over the years that you know, you give
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: them good players, the injury situation's got to be you know, manageable,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: and this year it just wasn't. Just wasn't this year.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: But but I think that you know, you do that
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: for the most part. You know, he can, you can
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to have a team that competes
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: and it can get in there. So I think that
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Jerry knows that, and I think that they'll probably go
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: that route. But you know, I think Mike has to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: agree to it. And you know, Mike doesn't have to,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: you know, he can, he can look at it at
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: other offers if if you know, after after next week,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: if he wants to do that. But you know, I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: think Jerry's Jerry's trying to make sure that he he
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: keeps them at the price that he wants to keep
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: him at. That's that's what I believe. All right, let's
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: go to Robin Vegas. You know, Hey, Rob, Hey, Nick,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 20: Nick?
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 8: I I this may be the most frustrating show. I'm
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 8: sitting in my office screaming at the computer it's it's happening.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 8: It's happening, Nick Jerry. Jerry's doing it. He's brainwashing these
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 8: fans by waiting. You ever have a girlfriend, Mick, that
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 8: you wanted to break up with, You just knew how
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 8: to break up with her. She was just and then
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 8: your friends would say, but dude, she's hot, and that
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 8: you just say, yeah, yeah, she is hot. That's exactly
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: what's happening with Mike McCarthy. By waiting, other coaches are
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 8: going to start interviewing. You're hearing people on Espiano wherever
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 8: or Mike McCarthy's a good coach. I'm listening to fans.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 8: They're giving this guy credit for players showing up to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 8: their job, making millions of dollars and playing. I hear
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 8: Robbie and Coco because no, Robbie, I love you, but no,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 8: you don't get credit. That's like me getting credit for
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 8: my guys showing up to work. No second of all.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 8: I'm hearing fans say, yeah, we could keep him if
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 8: we take away everything he was brought here for. Let's
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 8: take away to play calling because he's not good at it.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 8: Let's forget about that. He had five years to get
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 8: us past this the second round of playoffs never happened.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 8: You said to Dylan that Jerry really never said that.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: Yes he did.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 8: He said that by not resigning him to an extension.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: We all knew what that meant. It's just happened. This
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 8: happens every year when Jerry does this by waiting, everybody
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 8: starts to fall back in line, hoping him. Like my
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 8: friend Travis likes to say, and now they're looking at
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 8: Mike McCarty like he's Bill Belichick, and I'm just like what,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 8: I don't forget what you saw. Don't forget what you
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 8: saw this year last year when he got blown out,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 8: do not. This isn't just a couple of games. This
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 8: is five years at Jason Garrett. That call it said,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 8: he's like Jason Garrett was better. Jason Garrett has two
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 8: playoff wins we had. Mike mccartty has one with us.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 8: Jason Garrett had a number one seed. Michaeccotty's never had that.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 8: So it's just it's so frustrated because I see it laughing.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, if if and this
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: is kind of I didn't answer Joe from El Paso's
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: stuff about Garrett and McCarthy. But I'll ask you, if
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: you think Garrett McCarthy has four more years, four more years,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: do you think he would have more playoff wins?
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think he get maybe one more, one.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: More then if that's a question that I think that's
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: a question. I think Jerry needs to, you know, obviously
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: figure out as well, because because with Jason Garrett he
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: was he could have had his own like show like
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger. Because you thought he was dead,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: like it's over, he's done, you know, And the next thing,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: you know, twelve and four, you're like, well then he
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: went four and twelve like, Okay, that's bad, or eight
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: and ay, like that's bad, thirteen and three like every
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: time you thought he was done, he just popped up.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 8: But look we talked about this. That's meaningless. Your goal
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 8: is not to get to the playoffs. Your goals to
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 8: win a super Bowl. Garrett and McCarthy are the same guy.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: They're good coaches, they will not take it. You need
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 8: somebody to pick up the slack that Jerry will not
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 8: provide the players. So if he's not gonna give me
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 8: top notts free agents, I need a coach to make
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: up the difference. McCarthy's not that guy. So Jerry now
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 8: is gonna wait, he's gonna drag this out. Now, why
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 8: is he gonna do this? Because Rabel's gonna go to Patriots.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 8: You're gonna lose him, Ben Johnson may. So Jerry's gonna
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 8: be like, well, see, I did my due diligence and
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 8: this is what I'm left with. And I'm gonna pay
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 8: Magic Bike four and a half million dollars for a
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 8: three and for another three years because he didn't want
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: to pay ten to fifteen million. And that's how this
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 8: scenario is gonna happen. And it's gonna go down. And
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 8: now they'll take they'll maybe take away his play calling
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 8: and one again do which is ridiculous. So now you
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: just turn this guy into nothing. He just stands on
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 8: the sideline. So but that's that's what I see happening. Unfortunately,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 8: because if they really were going to move on, they
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 8: would have DoD what the Raiders did yesterday. Bye bye,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 8: and Toty, I'm sorry, we gave you one year, but
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 8: you know what, you're not the guy gone. That's what
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 8: That's what owners who are looking to they see this
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 8: is where. And you know we talk about coaches that, well,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 8: maybe the next coach. I'm gonna go to Knights fan.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 8: They had a coach first, ye had taken them to
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 8: the Stanley Cup second year playoffs, but they said, you know,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 8: this ain't the guy. They got rid of him. They
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 8: bring in another guy who's not a Dallas Stars coach.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 8: He does very good, but he can't get him to
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 8: the Stanley Cup. They fire him. They bring another guy
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 8: and he wins the Stanley Cup because they knew that
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 8: this coach is good. But I don't think he's the guy.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 8: And that's what Jerry does is unwilling to do.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, Rob appreciate the call. I you know,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there. Obviously we're not
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: talking about hockey, but there's a theory there too, about
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: these guys are building, building, building to get there and
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: then someone else goes in. And you know what if
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: they just fired what the Bills head coach, whoever, whoever,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: whatever his name is, I don't know his name, McDermott
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: or something, whether they have fired him and another guy
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: comes in and they win in Super Bowl? Is that
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: is he the guy that did it, or I mean,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: what about the the guy that built it? I mean,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: Wade Phillips had some success, but Bill Parcells was building
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: all that. So there's this part of that too that's
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: not just about you know, getting there. It's not just
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: you're you're better in the playoffs. I mean you've got
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: to have some luck there. Let's go real quick. Chris
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: in San Angelo's our last caller.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 12: Chris, Yes, sir, mister Nick, good to talk to you. Yeah, Hey,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 12: I'm going off. I have just a couple of things
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 12: real quick. I was going off of what of Irene thing?
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 12: And believe it or not, I'm kind of rooting for
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 12: the Bills in my little case is. You know, whenever
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 12: people say, oh, this team deserves it, I usually roll
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 12: my eyes, but I'm different on players. And now, really
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 12: that quarterback, I mean he just carries that team. He's
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 12: put up like five touchdowns in games running and throwing,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 12: and they still lost. So it's kind of like, you know,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 12: what else can I do? But this didn't build storylines?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 12: So in that same thing, what who tops the list
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 12: of the Cowboys players that you would love to have
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 12: seen win a Super Bowl? And I'll leave you with
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 12: Jack Martin, Zach Martin, and Dez Bryant.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, it's Jason Whitten. Jason Whitten and in Romo.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: If Tony Romo had ever won a Super Bowl, they
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: would people would view him the same way they view
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. I believe that wholeheartedly. He'd
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. There's no doubt about it.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: And I think that there'd be people that think he
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: may be one of the best of all time. If
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: you now, you got to remember, that would meant he
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: would have won, you know, the Divisional Game, won the
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: NFC Championship, all that kind of stuff, because he would
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: have done Romo type things in those games with the
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: world watching, and everyone would have lost their mind. He
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't He wasn't good enough. So therefore, you know, you
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: could say ifs and buts about it, all of that.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: But if Tony Romo's teams, if he had ever gone
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl and won it, I think people
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: would view him as as a Hall of Fame quarterback
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: and one of the greatest who ever play his story
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: all of that doing it for the Cowboys. But he didn't.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: He didn't get there. But yeah, I would love to
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: have see was he good enough? I think so? Him
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: and him and Witting both. I would love to see them.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: You know, all those great players that don't get it.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: You can, you can say that, but I would say
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: those two and then you know Zach Martin, Tyron Smith
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: A two great line. Any any guy that's a that's
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: a ring of honor slash Hall of fame type guy
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: that didn't make it to a Super Bowl. Yeah, I
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: mean you feel you feel for them? All right, guys,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: been great show, fifteen calls a lot of fun. We'll
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: do it again next Wednesday. Stay warm, stay safe for
