  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 1: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Tuesday, January
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: the second. Happy New year.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Everyone.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Let's start off twenty twenty five the right way. We
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: got a couple more shows and then that's it for
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: the weekly shows of Cowboys Storyline are the daily shows. Actually,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: we will turn to weekly starting next week, right off
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the bat, so we'll have kind of a scheduling right off.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: At first, we'll have a couple of shows in the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: first couple of weeks, but after that it's going to
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: be every Wednesday. I believe at nine to thirty we'll
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: get to go a full hour, maybe a little bit
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: more than that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: As we rolled into the break.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: So I was hoping for two shows like we did
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: last year. It looks like it's just only going to
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: be one. But we'll try to go a little longer
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: than normals to get as many calls as we can.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Eight A A eight, five, five, two, two nine seven
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: is the number to call. Let's talk about Cowboys and Commanders.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: We'll see who the starting quarterback is going to be.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: They haven't announced that yet, even though it does feel
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: like it's going to be Trey Lance. Will Greer might
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: even get some snaps as well. Mike McCarthy said, three quarterbacks,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: including Cooper Rush, we'll all get some work. He's not
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: saying who, but it does. It does seem like signs
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: are pointing towards Trey Lance getting that start and playing
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: that last game of the season against Washington. All Right,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Pro Bowl was announced this morning. Five players for the
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Cowboys make it. I was a little surprised by that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I thought it wouldn't be that many, but all five
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: seemed to be very deserving. Of course, Brandon Aubrey and
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Cavante Turpin, those were the two for sure that I
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: thought would make it. And then Michaeh Parsons at Cede Lamb.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Wasn't sure how that was gonna work because they you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: obviously missed some time.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And then Tyler Smith.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Once you get in as a guard and you're in,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be tough to knock him off. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: that's a good thing for him. I look this up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I thought this was impressive. Tyler Smith is one of
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: two or three guards now in the NFL history to
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: make the Pro Bowl twice before he turns twenty four.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So young young.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Player made the Pro Bowl twice already, might make it
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: for a long time.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: All right, let's start us off here on the phone line, Carolina.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: He's in Riverside, California, right now, Carolina.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: They Happy New Year.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Many year to you. All right, let me have it, man.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I listened to you. I did. I did last you
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: know what you told me, Well, maybe you said just
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: you shouldn't go out to the ball where you know
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: they're gonna be talking to jump this. Maybe stayed home
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: watch the game. So I stayed home, man, and watched
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: the game. And it was.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: It was heartening.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Man, it hurt my heart. I know, I didn't think
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: it was gonna be that bad. Yeah, but you already
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: answered one of my questions. I was gonna say, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: with the performance that you know Cooper Riss had, do
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: you think they'd be playing three Lance? So, okay, we.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: Got that out of the way.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I think they will do him, Yeah, I do.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So my question is you right, do you think
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: they that the Commanders is gonna let us let them,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: let us beat them again. You your wholehearted a team.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: But I think they're gonna I mean, they're they're playing
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: for the the playoffs. Anybody that's sort of banged up
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: is probably going to not play if they can. You know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things where you want
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you want to build keep the momentum going for them,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, and but also play smart and and dan
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Quinn will probably figure out the best way to do that.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: You know, you have seven inactive, so it's not like
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you can sit everybody. This is not a preseason game
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: where you can have you know, you have ninety players
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and all that. I mean, they're gonna have to play
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: some guys and and and they're gonna and they're gonna
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: try to win. They can get the sixth seed, which
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: at this point, I don't even know if that's better
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: or worse depends on who they play. Do they want
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: to play Philly? They may play Philly again, they may
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: play I mean I I would I would say you
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: wouldn't want the six seed because there's three teams that
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: are pretty good, and then after that there's a nice drop.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I think there's a decent drop to the next level
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: of the Bucks and Rams.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So if you can get a.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Sixth seed, that that's a much different game than playing
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the two seed, which will probably be Philly or it
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: could be I guess Minnesota Detroit.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how that works.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Well, all I know is I don't want to lose, No,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: but my confidence is like, well, yeah, do you think
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: that do you think that the air has been knocked
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: completely out of us after that Philly game? Like, do
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: you think you're gonna get up, No, put their boots
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: on and go to battle.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: I don't think how to actually win this game?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah I do, I mean I do. I don't. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: don't think that that's gonna change that much. I really don't.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: And not not to punk Sunshine into this thing, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: it didn't feel like a forty one to seven game,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and it was it was because that's that's how those
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: games go after four quarters and you keep turning the
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: ball over and all that. I don't think that, I no,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's like that that game was gonna
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: deflate them to the point they're gonna go out, they're
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: gonna play hard again, and they're gonna try to finish
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it off and now I don't think. I think they'll
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: try to sweep Washington and get to eight nine. That's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: what I believe is gonna happen. Now, will they I
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: don't know if they will, But all right, thanks for
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the call. Carolina was disappointed. I didn't get my honk,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: but that's all right. Let's go to Ronnie in New Jersey.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Nick, good morning, happen to year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Happy year two? How are you doing?
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Pretty good? Pretty good? Thanks? Nick? I was wondering with
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I know we have a few players and coaches, but
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: out of everybody that's basically going to be a free
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: agent right after this game, the one guy, Jordan Lewis
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: as a player that I would love for them to
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: bring back because Jordan Lewis has that that part that
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: this team needs, Like if we had twenty two Jordan
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Lewis this team before the Dogs. The way the guy plays,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: he he's amazing. I love Jordan Lewis. Will McLay, Yeah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: what do you foresee for Will McClay, because right now
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: it's starting to seem like there's more steam picking up
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: this season with Will McLain. I'm hearing about you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I live he here in Jersey there between the Jets,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: and hear the Jets are really going for him. Can
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: we lose Will McClay this year?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, that you could. I mean, if you're asking if
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: it's possible, Yes, it's possible. I'm not saying he will
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: last I heard that and this wasn't even I don't
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: know if this is even something that that has been
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: like it's not reported or anything.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But I do think.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: That they are working on something for him to return.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: But he's gonna probably listen to other offers if if
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: there are some. And uh, you know again with Will,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: it's different this year because he said it all along.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He's he's he's made it very clear.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: You know, his son is is uh is graduating and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: he and he was he made a commitment to his
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: son to be here, uh, in the Dallas area after
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: he graduates. We'll see his contract is up. So but
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys, the Cowboys certainly want to keep him.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: What I what I don't know with Will is how
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: important it is to actually be the GM at another place.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Wants to start something different.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: There's probably some other dominoes that that need to fall
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: there as well.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So it's that, But could he leave.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he could, he could always you know, leave, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, it's it's designed for him to to leave
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: this year if that's what he wants to do.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: So my other question is if if he was to leave,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: who do we have uh chick over that. He's a
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: very important part of uh A Cowboys. He sees the
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: guy I know, Jerry Jones. I love Jerry Jones, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: I know he likes to be the guys points out.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: You know, he picked this player, he picked that player
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: when it works out, you know, I know he makes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: It as a joke.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, do we have somebody in
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: waiting like Will McClay was to leave, but we we
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: are we counting on like what what Please don't say
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Stephen Jones.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: That wouldn't be his role. That wouldn't be his role.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Steven's gonna keep the same role. I don't I can't
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: give you a name. I can't tell you this is
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: what it would be. I'm sure you have to have
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: a plan in place that they might have you know
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a couple of people here that that they have already
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: targeted to be those guys. But you gotta be careful
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: of that because if Will ever left he could take them.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: He can take some. You know, he's gonna take some
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: people with him. That's just natural, the ones that he
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: wants to take.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: So hey that let's see if the Cowboys, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: there's no salary.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Cap there, make it, make it happen, get it done,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: make it happen, and bring it back.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I mean that's what I would do.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Uh, you gotta have them, you gotta you gotta have them,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: because the way that they have things structured your draft,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I mean you the philosophy has not been to go
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: get free agents.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, we know this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: So if that's the case, then it's even more onus
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to go up there and and and.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: You have to nail the draft.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: And if you were to start, you know, if with
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: with the solary cap the way it is, I mean,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: they have to hit home runs there. And I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: it's very it's vital to bring him back next year
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: and for years to come. So hopefully that that happens.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: But I can't tell your names or two of well
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: this this would be the replacement. I'm not sure, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that you should be inside. I think
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: at that point you may have to go from an
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: outside approach all right, let's go.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: To Davian and Illinois. Davion, what's up.
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: Quick?
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: My guy?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: How how are you? Yeah?
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: Up?
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah? But yeah, that sounds good. I'll take it. I'll
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: take it. How are you going?
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: You two?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: What's on your mind?
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Oh? Man?
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: We had a good call last night. Of course, you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 11: the top of a discussion was our coaching situation. But yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: good call. And I guess my question for you would be, okay,
• 11:24
  Speaker 11: game plan for this week? Who were trying to see?
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: Who you want to see for evaluation purposes? Who you
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: think is gain the most Yeah, for playing this week
• 11:35
  Speaker 11: that really can take it into the off season and
• 11:38
  Speaker 11: really get going.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's an interesting question because there's gotten two
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: different questions there. I'll flip it back to you before
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: you get off the air. Can you do you have
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: some guys in mind? You have two or three four
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: guys that you're like, I'd like to see this guy,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: whether it be free agent, whether it be a guy
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: that you know will be back.
• 11:57
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I got Duce Vaughn. I think do well, this'll
• 12:00
  Speaker 11: be a good going game. But especially since you got
• 12:02
  Speaker 11: he got the way we can play Duce pretty much
• 12:05
  Speaker 11: haven't left the whole had a whole game pretty much.
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: I mean, Dad'll pretty much we already know he already
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: got a thousand yards and broke a record. So I
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: think we should at least see Deuce with the starters.
• 12:16
  Speaker 11: It would be nice to see him with the starters
• 12:18
  Speaker 11: and actually give a chance to see something because my
• 12:21
  Speaker 11: my greatest thing with him is he was a good story,
• 12:23
  Speaker 11: feel good story. But I don't think he never really
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: got a shot a really just significant to see what
• 12:28
  Speaker 11: he actually can do, because like I said, we just
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: got to the turping stuff just with the last couple
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: of games, So I'm like, he could be he could
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: be doing that the whole year with Deuce. But I
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: doesn't need to hear it there, but I think Deuce
• 12:39
  Speaker 11: would be. It'd be good to see Deuce out there
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: this week.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Yeah, I'm with you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: And you know, in the turping situation, the way he's
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: run the ball and runs it right between the tackles,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and you know, it makes me think, all right, well,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: you know is big enough to do that, you know
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: it and live you know for another day. Certainly can
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: as well. I think he's had some moments some opportunities
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to shine, not as consistent, you know, not consistent moments,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: but you know you'd like for him to make a
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: player or two here and there, and it just hasn't
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: happened to him. This is this is probably his best
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: shot and maybe maybe one of his last shots to
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: really go out there and say, all right, I could
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: be an NFL player and contributor.
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: True, I think I think him of course, Mingo if
• 13:29
  Speaker 11: he you know, mihill get to play in a flood
• 13:31
  Speaker 11: or a Yeah, I think there'd be some good some
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: good guys. But I did and see what they got.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I agree. I think both those are good, awesome.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Richards might get some opportunities to do some things as well,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: just to kind of get a chance to go out
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: there and see what what what he can do. So,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: you know, you you want to win the game. I
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: guess again, I I don't have the numbers in front
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: of me about what you know, where they can go
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: and draft wise win this game, lose this game. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: know there's a range of like eleven to seventeen or
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: so of where they could pick. So but you also
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: want Washington to play. You know there's enough guys where
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: you can get a good evaluation.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: If Austin Richards is gonna play, I'd like to him
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the block, you know, a defensive end that's actually a
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: good player.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So we'll see.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: You think.
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: I think Washing. I think Washington gonna play because I
• 14:19
  Speaker 11: think they're gonna I think they're going for a better scene.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I would yeah, I think, yeah, I doude. I don't
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: think dan Quinn wants to get swept by the cowboys.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I know that, So all right they.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: For I appreciate it. Man. Thanks. Uh.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I love the fact you've been getting in on these
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: calls here lately. Uh, Dave in from Illinois. Let's go
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: to Albert he's in Tucson, Arizona.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Good morning Nick. How are you my friend?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing?
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: Happy New Year?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: You too? What's going on?
• 14:53
  Speaker 12: Uh?
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: You know, just looking at twenty twenty five from a hole,
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: trying to be as stimistic as I can. Okay, you
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: know I had when I saw that post on Instagram,
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: uh saying thank you to Zeke. I felt I felt
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: good because in a sense I was like, man, okay,
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: I thought I was like, he's probably wanting to go
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: to a playoff team and they released him. Yeah, and uh,
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: I didn't say that post, didn't say that. But when
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: then I went into the comments, and all I heard
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: was Jerry. All you saw was Jerry this, Jerry that,
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: Jerry this.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean if I think you could have a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: post that said, you know, the Cowboys, you know, gave
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: a much money towards this cause, and you know and
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: and and pumped two million dollars back into the community,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: and you would have those same comments exactly.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: So I mean comments that a thousand percent I agree,
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: and sadly, like I know, I said it before, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: you're just like us done. Our fans and us loyal
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: fans that are like through and through are tired of
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: those sense.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: It's just it's sad. And you're right. They do have
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: a ride, you know, if they're a fan, you know
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: they they have they have a right to be mad
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: and all that stuff. But you know what happened is
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: through and through and and you know Cowboys, the Cowboys
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: fight song. You know, whether we lost, you know, it's
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: it's crazy and you look, it's twenty twenty five. I
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: can remember when you first started, you know, and and
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: this who knew how far we were going to come,
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: even though we haven't won a Super Bowl that long. Anyway,
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: I don't want to rent and rape. I just want
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: to say it was a good year. Thank you for
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: everything you did and what you're going to continue to
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: do and go Cowboys.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks Albert.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that, Appreciate the uh, the kind words and
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: trying to be optimistic as you can and understanding that, Yeah,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: there's some fans that are very frustrated and they see
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: it differently, and you know, I think you know, you have,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: you know, a different perspective, which is which is great.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I don't like we say it all the time, you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I don't fault people for being very frustrated for how
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: things are. Don't fault people for saying, hey, let's look
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: on the bright side and this and that. I mean,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: it's just it's that cycle that that that just keeps
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: turning all the time. You know, you can be upset
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: and and and frustrated with how things are, and you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: before you know it, you'll get ready for the next
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: season and you'll you'll find that that way to kind
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: of get a little bit of optimism. And some people
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of optimism and then let's go do it again.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: That's what's good about the NFL. You know, in college,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: if you're not one of those top teams and you're
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: never going to be, then then you know, you kind
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: of have a different thing to root for. But in
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the NFL, the way it's structured, it structure for you
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: to be able to get better with the draft and
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: then the way the schedule works out and the amount
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: of money and everyone you know, has these big contracts
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and they win, and all of a sudden they lose
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: coaches and they lose continuity and they lose free agents,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: and then they got to replace it and start all
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: over again. And that's kind of the way it works.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: So there's always a chance for teams to make that
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: big leap. All right, let's go to Irene in Falls Church, Virginia.
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: Irene, Hey, Happy New Year to everybody, you too, doing
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: all right, doing all right? Hopefully you know everybody stayed
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: safe and had fun and obviously not everybody did so.
• 18:38
  Speaker 13: Prayers to ju New Orleans. But anyhow, of course, so
• 18:44
  Speaker 13: I am personally glad that this game is in Dallas,
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: and I know you are too, because it might.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Snow on Sunday.
• 18:51
  Speaker 13: But whether or not it snows, it's going to be
• 18:53
  Speaker 13: like thirty six degrees high over here, So that would
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: have been brutal, brutal with the end of tough season.
• 18:59
  Speaker 13: So anyway, I was I was wondering if you can
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: kind of set the scene I have, I have one
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: question and then just set the scene on, Like what
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: is the I know it's like trash bag Tuesday or
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: Monday or whatever, how that last day goes for you,
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: especially for the players, but then also the coaches and
• 19:18
  Speaker 13: you guys, like do you say bye to people or
• 19:21
  Speaker 13: does the off season start when the team is when
• 19:24
  Speaker 13: the season's over unless they're in the playoffs, or are
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: people still players still allowed to come talk to coaches?
• 19:30
  Speaker 13: I know there's a period where they where they can't,
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: like you can't get you can come into train, but
• 19:35
  Speaker 13: you can't get you know, coached up or something.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Right now, Okay, all right, well take that off. Okay, thanks, Irene.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that interesting question. And you know, and they're
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: always adapting some of the rules there, but but it
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: is considered trash bag day for sure, usually on that Monday.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, even know, if it's Tuesday, it'll be it'll
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: be that that Monday, and and and we say that
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: because you know, team a lot of people cleaning out
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: their lockers and throwing stuff away and things like that.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: You always just see the guys walking around with trash back.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: They have exit interviews that they'll meet with with the coach.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: This year's is.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Gonna be even more different than others because twenty twenty four,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I think guys now twenty twenty six guys that are
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: that are free agents. Zeke was one of them but
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: but no longer here, but but twenty six free agents,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: so their futures up in the air.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And then they're gonna meet with.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Coaches, and all of the coaches are up in the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: air as well, So I don't even know how that
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: meeting goes, be like, hey, here's my number. We'll see
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: what happens. There's gonna be a lot of that. We'll
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: see what happens. As far as I don't, I don't
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: think there's a rule that they have to be like
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: out of the building by like the next day afterwards.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: But but it'll there. There is a time where, you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: week or two or something like that. Now, injuries change
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: everything because if they have you know injuries to go. Remember,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: from a player standpoint, the contract doesn't expire till the
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: end of the fiscal year, which is like mid March,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: So this contract doesn't doesn't expire. Then coaches contracts expire
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: a lot sooner than that. All right, let's go to
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: break here on Cowboys storyline. We have a couple of

• 22:59
  Speaker 3: All right back here on Cowboys storyline. We got a
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: couple of callers I've been waiting. Let's get right to it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Chris is in San Angelo, Texas.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: Mister Nick, Happy new year to you, sir, New year
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: to you.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: I'm doing wonderful things for asking? Oh, okay, I that
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: you're about to say something. No, no, okay, cool Hey.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: I was wondering. First off, my pick for the game.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I'll take the I really hope to see Lance in
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: there for a full game, see what he can do,
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: and I'll get the Cowboys twenty four to seventeen. The
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: other thing I had I was going to ask you
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: kind of a situational thing. Let's say you were given
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: in the draft, you had a chance to get the
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: best player at a certain position.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Which position would you choose.
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: For that.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: With the first round pick? Obviously with the first.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: Oh yes, definitely for it definitely have to be. But
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: let's just say you're guaranteed to get the best player
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: at any position. What position would you like for that
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: to be?
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a tough question because you still I mean,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: the draft is still the draft. So I mean, like,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: like I've said, you can get a guard at fifteen, fourteen, thirty,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: whatever they're going to pick. You can get a guard.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: You might get the best one. But would you rather
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: get the third best pass rusher and or you know
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: somebody that can help you at one of those elite positions.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: How about the second best corner or do you want
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the first tight end?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I think you take I mean, this is very cliche.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I think you take the best player on your board
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: that fills a need. And you have a lot of needs,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: so a quarterback won't be the one probably there. But
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: you take the best player available, and you name the
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: other positions what that is, you can find a spot
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: for him. Oh he's a linebacker. Okay, it must be
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: a difference maker for sure, So you can use them corner, yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: other than safety, even safety and and what and a
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: quarterback anyone else? I would be fine with that. So
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you're going to get the best
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: player at that position, but you know what I mean,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I'd be fine if you got the second best corner
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: second best defensive ends, guard whatever you.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Know, well, it was kind of a fantasy top question. Yeah,
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: you're you're guaranteed h to get the best one. My
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: thinking was, I would love to have a defensive lineman yeah,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: was going to be yeah, new was going to be
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: a disruptor yep. And then and then imagine having him
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: in there and what he would do with for Mica
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, in the in the defense, yeah.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: And the same with the pass rusher on the other side,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the same with linebackers. I mean like yeah, I mean
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I just think you're, you're, you have so many needs
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: that you're gonna have the opportunity to get get a
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: player right then there that comes right in and ready
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And that's how it would be one of the tiebreakers
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: If I was in the war room, it was like,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: all right, well, how about this guy here, this guy here,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, who is ready to play? Because Mazzie wasn't. Obviously,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Tyler Goeyton certainly wasn't. And they knew that going in
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: this year. Whatever that pick, and if it's if it's
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: a sick a corner versus the guard, or a wide
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: receiver versus the defensive end, who do they think has
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: played enough football in a big time level that could
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: come right in and is ready to play right now,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: because that that is that is paramount they have to
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: have that happen.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I mean thanks for taking my car mate.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, Chris appreciate that always. Uh, thank you.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: And let's let's keep it going now. We gotta move
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: up north a little bit through Oklahoma City. Gavin, what's up?
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: Man's up? It's been a minute. How's it going. How's
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: the holidays go.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: For It's going well for sure.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: So I am here first. I wanted to say if
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure how much this has been talked about.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: I haven't got to listen to all the shows because
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: I've had to lock into some real life stuff. But anyways,
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: I'm proud of the way the team has fought and battled,
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: and I'm very proud of Ceedee Lamb. I thought the
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: Tampa game was the funnest game for me to watch
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: it the season. I had a lot of fun with it,
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: regardless of playoff complications or anything like that. So I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: very happy about that, and I have no questions about
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: Ceedee Lamb. I think that that kind of permeates to
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: the rest of the locker room, even for the next year.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Whenever you have a player so toughness like that and
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: aren't just showing up to get paid. That man really
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: loves football.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's no doubt about it. I think he
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: impressed a lot of people, myself included, not that I
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: had doubt about him, but my level of you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: just just how much that I appreciated him as a
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: player that just increased even more. I mean, he really
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: really was outstanding this year.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: I agree. And my last thing I want to mention
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: is Mike McCarthy. I know we all talking about Mike,
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: but I think when it comes to him, I really
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: do want him back. I think he runs a team
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: pretty well, but at the same time, I think we
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: need a play caller for this team that can take
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: us to the next level. I don't. I think his
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: play calls are fairly basic concepts and they just aren't
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: executed necessarily well. So you could argue, why would you
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: add greater concepts to the team, But I don't know.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: I see other coordinators throughout the league, and I just
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: think the play calling just isn't on the level that
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: you see, like one of the college said yesterday in Detroit,
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: and Sam, just go and that's the standard to get
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: to the Super Bowl, Kansas City or whatever team you see.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: I think Mike McCarthy has done some great things and
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: what's great for the development of DK. But I just
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: think I don't think he's going to come back and
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: be like, hey, let me give the play calling duties up.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: I think it's like, Okay, if you want Mike McCarthy back,
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: you get all of Mike McCarthy. And I just don't
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: know if that's the right move for this team going forward,
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: regardless of his resume, you know what I mean.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think you have a good point there,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: and I and I don't disagree. I there has to
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: be a change here, and if you want to keep
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: McCarthy here as the head coach for everything that he brings,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I think there needs to be a caveat.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And I mean, and.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: That might be an awkward conversation, you know, but I
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: don't know how many options he has. So if it's like, hey,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: let's you know, you come back as the head coach,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: we'll sign this deal, but we are going to make
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: some changes on offense. And you know, I'd like for
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: you to do different things here, maybe get some different personnel,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: and if he says no, it's my way or the highway,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: then you know, wonder.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think it would be kind of tragic
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: to lose Zimmer in that process. But I think if
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: you lose the head coach kind of get a clean
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: slate there likely, So that's another thing you have to
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: factor in, because I think I think the players want
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: Zimmer back, and I think Zimmer has a great system.
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: And maybe you could give Mike McCarthy the benefit of
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: the doubt of the players saying they aren't necessarily ready
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: early in the season, because I got to thinking about it,
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: and maybe it was because of Zimmer's scheme that they
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: weren't ready, and maybe that's why they were saying that, like, oh,
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: I'm not prepared because I don't understand this scheme, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: maybe we as fans just don't understand exactly what they're
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: talking about. But that's all I got. I'll get it
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: off of here, but I wanted to say before I
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: get off from my home state of Louisiana, if y'all
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: have any friends and family that live in New Orleans
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: or anything like that, My prayers with you and we
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: all in this together, all right.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Well said, Obviously a scary situation there, just in senseless
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: hate hate that for the for the city of New Orleans,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: and and it's going to be it's going to be
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: an interesting next couple of weeks and months, you know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: as they as they go through that, and know they
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: have a huge game today in the playoffs, a football
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: game down there, but Super Bowl as well, so security
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: is going to be tighter than ever. But still just
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: just an unreal situation that happened there. And like you said,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: much bigger than than football. All right, let's let's keep
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: it going here. We've got Rob and Vegas on the line.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Rob is next, Hey, Nick, how are you doing?
• 31:55
  Speaker 12: Happy New Year?
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you. Are things there?
• 32:01
  Speaker 12: Vegas is good? You know New Year's is pretty pretty
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: wild out here, but it was quiet.
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: The days of going to the strip are over.
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: You know, you stay home.
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: You know, cays go out definitely to the people to
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: New Orleans. Me personally, I can't wait for this season.
• 32:23
  Speaker 12: Ten To me, I think it's the worst season I've
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: ever watched. You know, I'm fifty seven, so I've been
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: a fan probably since I'm six or seven years old.
• 32:36
  Speaker 12: You know when the Cowboys were when you knew they
• 32:39
  Speaker 12: were going to be bad. I don't know what they
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: were rebuilding. You could kind of pick out what you
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: want to see who I want to see this guy
• 32:47
  Speaker 12: and I want to see it. But this season wasn't
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: like that. We didn't think they were going to be
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: this bad. And Cowboys fans are honest, they were bad
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: all year. They they were bad from day one. They
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: beat the worst of the worst and they got crushed
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: by the best teams. Uh, there was really no highlights.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: To this season.
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: And I just hope, you know, the Joneses realized, look
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: in the mirror, look at each other, says we got
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: to blow it up.
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: And they do.
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: They clean, they clean house. That's that's what needs to
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: be done.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: But you know, if they don't blow it up, because
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think that that's what they're going to do.
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: And then we're going to be worse next year.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's very.
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: Can't like like all these fans are calling in like
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: the last caller, he says, I like Mike McCarthy, he
• 33:51
  Speaker 12: runs a good team. I don't see that. But I
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: think we have to take away his play calling. I
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: hope if that ever comes up, I hope Mike McCarthy
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: grows a pair and says no and and and leaves.
• 34:07
  Speaker 12: Because what do I need Mike McCarthy for.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Well, you want him to do that, so he'll be
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: out the door. Is that what you're saying? You want
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: him to say?
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: Hey?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? Okay, well all right.
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: But because because if you stay, you're showing the fans
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: you're just a puppet grow you know what I mean?
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: The only reason you're here was to improved and be
• 34:32
  Speaker 12: a play caller. If you don't, if you're not that, I.
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: Don't need you.
• 34:38
  Speaker 12: And the only reason why you would stay is for
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: the money. And it's and you're basically Jerry's just saying,
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: I just I'm comfortable with this guy.
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: You know, I'm no.
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: Blow the whole thing up. Uh talking about Micah. I
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: love Michael, but he's starting to get like Jerry. You know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: he's he does this podcast and I don't care that
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: he does a podcast. I mean, my kids that at
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: that age, maybe a little older, that's that's what they're into.
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: But he just talks about like he said, yeah, come
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: to come to the Cowboys. You could get the boost endorsements.
• 35:13
  Speaker 12: It's like, dude, yeah, what are you talking about? You know,
• 35:18
  Speaker 12: don't say it, think it, you know what I mean,
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: I don't know that. The whole the world of the
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: Dallas Cowboys is just off. It's it's just off. As fans,
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: we really don't know what is going on. We look at,
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: you know, all the money that they paid to certain players. Uh,
• 35:41
  Speaker 12: and we're like, okay, so those guys are locked up,
• 35:44
  Speaker 12: let's go, let's build, let's do this. And it's like,
• 35:47
  Speaker 12: I don't know, and it's just it's just uh, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 12: you guys talking about having only one show. That's a
• 35:55
  Speaker 12: shame because this is the best time of the year
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: to have a show like this. This is when it's
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: like sighting, especially for this team, because you know, you
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: could have a new owner. I mean I knew, I
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: wish new new coach, new players. I don't you'd have
• 36:11
  Speaker 12: to have a three hour show now.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: I can't agree enough. And you know, I wish I
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: wish others shared the same thought process.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I wish we could do it more.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: But then again, you know, we have a lot of
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: shows here and by doing that that that puts a
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: lot of pressure on on Chris in the back and
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: other people as well. But I do understand that the
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: show gives the fans a voice and get you know,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: more than any other show does, and I wish we
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: could do it more so, but that's kind of the
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: that's what we have.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: That's what we have right now.
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: Chris said, all he needs is two weeks off and
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: he's ready to rock.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Chris is ready to rock. Chris is right to rock.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: It's not about Chris. It's not about Chris anyways. But
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: all right, rob let's let's keep it rolling. Thanks for
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: the call. Uh be safe there, obviously. Uh you know,
• 37:01

• 37:06
  Speaker 3: tragedy situation that happened there. Vegas, there was there was
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: some stuff happening there too outside of the hotel. So
• 37:13

• 38:45
  Speaker 3: more minutes to go before we wrap this up. It's Thursday,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: or yeah, I wrote Tuesday down. This whole week feels weird.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: It is Thursday, January the second first show of twenty
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: twenty five. Hope you've made some good reds and see
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: if maybe the Cowboys abate some as well. You're gonna
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: make some changes this year, lord, let's hope. So, you know,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: as far as some changes, some positive changes, get this
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: thing turned around. This was not a good season, we
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: know that, and they felt they fell short of the
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: mark as a team, as I as I wrote this morning,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: and they you know, individually five Pro bowlers. That's good
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: for them. I mean, those guys were deserving for sure.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that they put Aubry in. His missed field
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: goals didn't haunt.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Him too bad.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think everyone realizes he's kicking it from
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: you know, New Mexico, you know, and some of these
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: kicks that he's missed so Turpin as well. Those two
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: guys set you know, a lot of records here this year.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: And Micah and CD both just just phenomenal players.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: They got in Tyler Smith as well, another phenomenal player,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: and he's he may be a main stay there for
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: a long time. There On the Pro Bowl list we
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: saw was Zach Barton. And you know what could be
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: changing of the guard if you will be here all week,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: all right, Let's go Bob in Rio Grand Valley.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Nick, How are you doing, Bob?
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: Happy New Year to you too. Well. This year it
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: hadn't started off on the best it's considering all the
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: things that happened in New Orleans yesterday and in Vegas,
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: but somehow I know they were going to fight through it.
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: At Our season was pretty much like that. Hasn't been
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: the best season that we've had. We had those twelve
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: wins seasons is to three of them, and didn't get
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: over the hump, didn't get really fast, go hardly, but
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: nevertheless we were there. As far as the coming season
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: is concerned, it's a sad day to say goodbye to Zeke.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: I'm one of the guys that I don't forget what
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: he did when he first came out of college for
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: us out He and Dak just turned to eight and
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: eight media vockery team into winners and gave us hope.
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: And I wish him nothing but the best. Uh. As
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: far as what's going on with the Cowboys at uh uh, Yeah,
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: we're going through some changes. We need some changes. I'm
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: for one, I'm not down on Mike McCartney. Mike McCarthy,
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: I feel like that he is somewhat predictable in his
• 41:43
  Speaker 8: play calling, and that's one criticism I have. As far
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: as the sending of staff that gets his team ready
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: to play, I think he's done a long, long job
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: because disidering the jury situation that we've had this year,
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: I'm hopeful that we want the draft that finally is
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: settled and we know where we are, that we can
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: get some quality players to come in here and help out.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: UH.
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: As far as Will mcclay's because is concerned, I would
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: hate to see the Cowboys losing that. I think that
• 42:31
  Speaker 8: would really be a real blow to us. I appreciate
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: your show. I appreciate you, I appreciate you, I appreciate you.
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: I appreciate your insight. Your show was probably the most
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: informative of all the podcasts that are in the day.
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: You learn more about what's really going on with the Cowboys,
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: and I appreciate your opinions, and I thank you for
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: the entertainment that you brought to any and the insight.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you.
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: I wish you a happy new year, and thank you
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: for taking my call.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Bob uh And and you know
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: I say that about when you say that about you know,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: feeling informed, I'll take some credit here because you know,
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: I'm here and I and I get to talk to
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of people here in the halls and and
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: and you know you pick up things like that, and
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: and you know I've been around enough, I've seen stuff.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: So yeah, let's take some of that. But also, like
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: you learn a lot from from you guys. You guys,
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: you know, I know I'm not the only podcast you're
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: watching them, you know them, you guys are the diehards.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: So uh, you looking at other blogs and other other
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: websites and other things.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Uh, And and you know there's.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Been times where people will come to the show and
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: ask questions and and that that I haven't even heard
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: of yet. You know that doesn't happen a lot, but
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: it's happened some. You guys are very informed, and so
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I think as a collection, it's been it's been great.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Thank you for saying that. Limit let me go off
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: what you said about McCarthy play calling and things like that.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: You know, Bill Parcells didn't call the plays on offense
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: or even defense. You can be you're the head coach
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: of the team. You you get a new play caller
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: in here, a younger guy, different voice, maybe sees it,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: you know a little differently. Uh got you know, his
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: way of doing things. But you know, if you want
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: to run the ball on third and three, then then hey,
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: we're running the ball here. I remember Parcels saying that
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: about Sean Payton. You know, do you do you jump in?
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if I say, hey, let's get Barber here, let's
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: let's let's run, let's run, let's run Julius, you know
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: on the outside, Okay, well, okay, cool, I got about
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: five five plays we can run here in this formation.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: All that I'm gonna make the call. You can call.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: You can run the show without calling all the plays.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: And so it doesn't mean that you're just sitting there
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: in a suite, you know, watching the game. I mean
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: you you you can still have your hand in things.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: And and they say walk around, coach. I mean, when
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: the games on the line, you can figure it out
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: and say, hey, I want to run the ball. I
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: got four plays here, or you got four plays? We're
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: first and go from the eight. You know we're up
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: by three. I want to be up by ten. You
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: got four plays here? Figure it out? And we should
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: run the football. You didn't call the plays, but you
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: pretty much told them what we're doing and what we
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: need to do. And I think that's there's something to
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: be said for that. Let's go to Lester in Minnesota. Lester,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 45:26
  Speaker 10: Hey, Good morning, everybody? Good morning that I think what
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: I'm what I'm hearing from the callers, and I haven't
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: heard the whole show, so some of them may have
• 45:37
  Speaker 10: said it outright. But what positive frustration is is that
• 45:43
  Speaker 10: we want, as Cowboys fans, we want to hear a plan,
• 45:46
  Speaker 10: and we don't want to hear just cliches about oh,
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: we're going all in or we're doing this or that
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: or whatever. We want to hear. Okay, next year, we're
• 45:55
  Speaker 10: going to get focused on the yries, you know, just
• 45:57
  Speaker 10: an example, we want to focus on the receivers. We're
• 46:00
  Speaker 10: going to get some wide receivers and we're gonna get
• 46:03
  Speaker 10: this and that and whatever, and we want to hear
• 46:05
  Speaker 10: some direction, not just cliches or little.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Well hold little hold on lesser.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: They they're they're gonna give you the cliche. They're gonna
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: give it to us. I mean, they're planned. They're not
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: going to go into and say this is what we're
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: going to do.
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: I mean, like, no, no, no, I'm just saying that.
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: But I think what the old timers are saying, the
• 46:27
  Speaker 10: Cowboy fans for a long time, like myself, is that
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: when the old regime was in, they would give a
• 46:34
  Speaker 10: little hint about, Okay, next year, we're gonna.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: Do the receivers.
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: This is an example, We're gonna do the receivers, you know.
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: But I think that's part of the frustration. That's all
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: I'm saying.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I get, That's what I get.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: I just yeah, And I just don't know if I've
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: ever remember a time where they they come in and say,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: you know, this is our this is our plan, this
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: is our direction. I mean, think about a couple of
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: years ago after the draft, after the draft, and you
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: look at these guys and you're like, all right, this guy,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: you know, big strong lineman, big strong defensive tech, big
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: old linebacker.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, another big wide receiver. So is there a theme here? Yeah?
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And then after the draft you're like, you know,
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: what looks like y'all went for a lot of size,
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: like we did. We felt we need to be bigger.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Here they say it afterwards, here's the theme but I
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: don't remember going into the draft and saying we've got
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: to be bigger, stronger, physical upfront, and we're going to
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: draft big players. I don't remember that. I just think
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: you kind of see it afterwards. But I don't remember
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of times where that they just tell you
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: the plan. You know, they have the plan, but they're
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: not gonna throw it up to us, you know.
• 47:38
  Speaker 7: I mean, so I no, no, Nick.
• 47:41
  Speaker 10: When I say the old regime, I'm talking about before Jerry.
• 47:44
  Speaker 10: There were there were times where that regime would say
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: certain little things that kill the fans, a hint of
• 47:51
  Speaker 10: what was going to happen next year, not the whole plan,
• 47:54
  Speaker 10: but just a little hint. Yeah, that's what I think.
• 47:57
  Speaker 10: That's why I said the old the old old times.
• 47:59
  Speaker 10: I think that's part of the.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, before the Internet, before the blogs, before everyone you
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: a Twitter and all that stuff. Yeah, just throw it
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: out there, and it was you know, and and by
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: the time you got it in your Dallas Cowboys Weekly
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: to go, oh, it looked like we were going to
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: get some wide receivers here. You know, it looks like
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: that's that's what Landry's saying. You know, by then it's
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: It's it's mid July and the draft has already happened,
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, we didn't even get those receivers,
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: so a little different time. I understand what you're saying
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: though you want it, you want to kind of know
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: you just don't want to hear. We'll see if we
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: do it better next year. I mean I I I
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: get that you want it, you want to know what
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: what it is, what's gonna happen? How is this going
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: to be different? And believe me, I I'm I'm there, Okay,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: I understand that. I'm in the same situation as you guys.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: All right, my college team, same situation. Didn't know if
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: the coach was going to come back. I'm a big
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Arkansas fan. They brought the they brought the coach back,
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, what's different, what's gonna be new? You

  Speaker 3: know it's and you want you want that and and
• 48:58
