• 0:22
  Speaker 2: What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Wednesday,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: August thirteenth, and man, I think for the first time.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking about this for the first time
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: since January, the last week of the season. First time
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I've gone back to back days since then. So we've
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: obviously spaced it out, go every other day, but because
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of the way the schedule kind of falls and people
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: trying to break down it from camp and come back
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: from camp, got to go two days in a row,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: which's this is what happens in the preseason, right We're
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: starting to ramp things up to where we get to
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: go every single day. I know that's what you guys want,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That's what I want, and that's what we're getting to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: do today. So get a chance to talk to you
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: guys a little bit. A couple of callers already online
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that I don't believe called yesterday, So that's that's good.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We're trying to space it out as much as possible.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, let's just let's get right to it. It'll be
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and we kind of know, we know the drill, we
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: know what's going on. We got a game coming up
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: this Saturday at AT and T Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I would expect to see more players in this game
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: than we saw before, maybe a little bit of the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of the starters in some positions, not all, but some.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And like always, you know, selfishly, you want to play
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the backups in a little bit of the starters, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you want the other team to play all their starters
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: so you can get the best evaluation, especially with a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: team like Baltimore. So we'll see what happens. Let's get
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: started here. Let's go to Anthony in Miami's first. What's up.

  Speaker 2: pumped up manant.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: He had me. He got me. Hey, he got me
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: squid away. So we good on that. Let's look at
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: some things right quick lost because it's bout from to
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: this day. All right, Joe Milton, everybody, Joe Milton, Joe Milton.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: That we know Joe Milton was a talent, but he
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: was a radic. We do that already. Now you take
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: two plays for that game. And if Joe Milton makes
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: that the bomb which the guys opened by five yards, mingo,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: So you made Mingo, you took away his sta. You
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: can't miss that throw, Joe, not with your rocket on.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: So you take you take that throw and that with
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: that that deep over, that deep over. Now come ond
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to have a rifle. You can't miss that
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: one by ten yards. But if he hits those you
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, we're saying, good things because the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the Bombers a touchdown, so we're saying good things about
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: them basically, So let's give him some time. You know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I think him and will grill too confident backups. So
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: we just hope that stayed and has a healthy season
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: so we won't have to see them.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Let it take care of that. He tacond point, Malik Davis.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Look here, man, nobody got excuses. Remember when we come
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: on the show, Nick, we do certain things. We say poems,
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: we say rhymes, we do this, we do that. You say,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: somebody set the bar. He set the bar on people coming.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Back from injury or not being signed and can't play,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and you know we got to sit out a week
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to get the muscles lag. We don't want to know nothing, no, no.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: If he can do it and have a performance like that,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to do it too. So he set
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the bar that last, but not least, we gotta stop
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: getting down there pre season, regular season, and season out
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: of season.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: We can't keep getting.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Down there and kicking thirty five yard field goals. It's
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: already set back eighteen. So that means you inside the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: red zone. We do that with our starters. That's a
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: problem for us. You can't have those unities that set back.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: We know we got an automatic kicker, but man, let
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the man kick fifty five yard fieldals and stuff like that,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: fifty two from the thirty five or something. We can't
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: keep getting.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: In the red zone and self destructive. That's going to
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: be a major problem. Can't wait till the documentary. That's
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: my era, You're I love it. I can't wait.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: So I looked at this call to get on.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: I'm a nice day niggas.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks man, appreciate it. Wait to kick us
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: all strong. A lot of stuff going on in here.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And you mentioned the documentary. You know, I've got a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: chance to watch some of the the one coming up
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: this week tomorrow night tomorrow it'll you will see the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: documentary of The Wall two point zero with Travis Frederick,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Tyron Smith, Zach Martin. Really good, it's really well done.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It did a nice job with that, and I think
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna enjoy it. You know, it's not
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it's not just about three offensive linemen. I mean, it's
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: it's about just this bond h that they created and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: how good they were together, and really really is a
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: good job so I know they're not done with it yet,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: but we'll see it Thursday, Thursday night, Tomorrow night, they'll
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: they'll have it out there. And then of course the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: one we're still working on, Joe Avazano. I'm excited about
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that one as well. And put people that may not
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: know about him. You know, you're a little bit of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a younger generation. I think if they give it a chance,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they'll see just what what a character he was and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and to be the special teams coach, but to be
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a lot more than that. It's been a lot of fun,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: all right, Anthony. You got a lot of stuff here
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: at Milton. Yeah. I mean one, yeah, you can say that, well,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: if you hit this and hit this, I mean he
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: would have had a great day. Well yeah, I mean
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: that's that's the way it is a lot of things
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: in sports, you know what I mean. If the guy
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: would have made ten of the three pointers that he missed,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you know, he's got a record setting day. So he's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: got to hit him. And then that point goes to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the third point. I'll skip the Elik Davis part for
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a second. The red zone. You got to remember this,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: just fans have to remember this. Coaches want to see
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: certain things in practice. They're like, oh, this is good,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: this is good. Not so good, man, I can't wait
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to see what we do in the game here. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not saying running the ball is not
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a important thing, because it certainly is definitely in the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: red zone. But if MafA gets a touchdown here, or
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Malik Davis or whoever else runs the ball, like, that's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: good to see and that's good for the offensive lineman.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: But you also want to see kid Milton make this play.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Let's throw the ball down here a little bit. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: want to see him make this play. Sometimes. I've seen
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Bill Parcells used to do this on third and nine
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: at the thirty two yard line going in. He'd run
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a draw, get four yards. He think he could get
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the first down. No, but he wanted to see his
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: kick or kick a forty eight yard field goal on
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the road. There's things that that coaches want to see
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that that you you're looking at it and me everyone's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: looking at it, like, score, score, touchdown? Did they score?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: They did score it in the red zone. Well that's
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a fail. Well true, But are you are you giving
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: everything that you want to see? Are you showing all
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of your best plays. I mean, you know you've got
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: some two point plays down there, you got some plays
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: from the three four yard line, or you just want
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to run a fade and hope the guy makes the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: catch and all that. So I get it. I get it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: You can worry about the red zone. But it's kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of like special teams, like in the preseason. You're just
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: trying to kind of survive and get through some of
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: these things. It's still true early for panic and Milik Davis.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: To me, that's an example for life. That's not just
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: an example for being a football player. That's saying, hey,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: be ready, be ready for the phone to ring. That's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: that's that's what we all have to do in our
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: in our life, you know, in different I say that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: sometimes if I ever talk to students that asked me
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: about getting this job, I mean, I'm sorry. The Dallas
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Cowboys aren't just gonna come calling. I got lucky. The
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yankees aren't just gonna say, hey, we need you to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: do this. Just be ready for your opportunity when you are,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: be ready to jump on it. Malik Davis, be in shape,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: be in football ready shape without being on a football team,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and you get signed and you go in and you
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: do that. He's going to be on a practice squad.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: If he's not on the roster, he'll be on a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: practice squad, someone's practice squad because he shows he can
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: be ready. All right, let's go to Lester and Minnesota.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Heynick.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: What's up? Man?
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: I'm all right, man, Yeah, I got a little concern.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: What about my office and my defensive line?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Man? Yeah?
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: First let's go with the defensive line. Hey, I think
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: we need some help there, man. And what's up with
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Wilkins from the Raider? They let him go or something?
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know he hurt, but we like her players,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: so I mean when he's not heard, he's like top
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: six defensive lineman. Is he available? I mean, we could
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: definitely use him.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if he's a good
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: fit for the for the for the locker room, I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: don't think. I don't think he's been a good fit
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: for the places that he's been and uh, you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: from what it looks like, Yeah, he can play, but
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot more to it than there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's he's I'll be surprised if he
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: gets if he gets picked up, and I just don't
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: see him being a fit here for the Cowboys.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, he got a little bit of attitude problem.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Well, do some research, Hey, do some research. See what
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: you find on Christian Wilkins. It's it's it's it's interesting.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I just don't see him being being on the team here.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: You know, there's there's some there's some reasons why I
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: think he got to let goes. I mean, you're taking
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a thirty six million dollars hit on the on the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: cap or something like that. There's a there's multiple reasons there,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and so I just don't see that being a route
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: that they go. I could be wrong. I mean Jerry's
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: done some some things like that before. But uh, I'd
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: be surprised if he gets picked up here.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: All right, I'll do a little research there because I know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: you know, we got we had Halley and a few
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: other players before with some problems.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Was his name party, the guy.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: From the Bears, little little Ronzou and the Renzou or whatever. Anyway,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: I do some research. Man, my offensive line, I think
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: we need to play some some of the starters.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think any starters played.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I might be wrong, but I.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Didn't see any starters in there. They need that. They
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: need to practice too, they need the continuity, et cetera,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: and so forth. Because they're one unit. You know, they
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: never come out when they get on in and they
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: don't come out. They don't whitch them out during the game.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: They're just saying, as long as no one's hurt. So
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: you know how I am within my offense of a
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: defensive line. And then I know how you feel about this,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: but I'm gonna say it anyway. I think we should
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: play some more starters, including that, even if it's just
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: one series, to get them out there. And also, man,
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: where's my running game? I thought it was.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Gonna be a physical team.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I know it's only the first game or whatever. Maybe
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: our coach is looking at different things. But to be physical, man,
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: you gotta run the ball more than what they were doing.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, all right, let'ser appreciate the call. We're
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: gonna keep it, keep it moving here. You know my
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: thoughts on on the offensive line running game. I feel like,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: thanks for the call, Let's appreciate that, all right. I
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: gotta get that line open so we can get another
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: call in eight a eight eight, five five two two
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: ninety seven. That is the number to call. That's what
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: we're back at our regular number here and back at
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: our studios at the Star, almost said Valley Ranch. Not
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: sure why that's only been nine years the offensive line,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: like this whole debate on playing the starters versus the
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you know, the backups. I I'm with you about wanting
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to see it, but I don't. The risk reward is
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: not there for me. It's just not think about it
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: like this. How long do you think it's going to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: take if if a guy plays, I mean, you're asking
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: for a series or two. Is that really gonna change much?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: They don't play until September the fourth, But if you
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: think it is cool, but how much if say the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: guy Dak doesn't get that, when are they going to
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: be When is he going to be back to like normal? Okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: just because they didn't, you know, because he didn't get
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: any work in the pre season. When do you think
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that is a week? Two weeks? Do you think by
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the second game they'll be good all the all the Okay,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: that's you know, I'll give you two weeks, two weeks,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: not till week three? All right? I mean certainly can't
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: go oh and two. But my point is is that
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: by not playing them in the preseason, it's it could
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: take a week or two, maybe even more than that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But what if they do play and they get hurt.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: What if it's an injury that's not a week or two.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: What if this is a season long injury. We're seeing
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: it all around the league. Torn acl here, torn Achilles here,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, the Cowboys had some players with
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the neck injury and out for the season. So all
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I'm saying is is that the risk versus the reward
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: not playing the guys in the in the preseason, You're
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: you're saying maybe the first game or maybe the second game,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: they're not going to be at their best. And you
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: can't guarantee me that playing one series here against Baltimore
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: is gonna make Dak ready to go like he's never
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: been before against Philip. I don't know if I believe that.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I just think it's not going to be more than
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a week or two. And you can't guarantee me that
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: any injury that happens is only going to be a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: week or two. I mean, so when you weigh that
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: in there, and and the lack of depth that they have.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I have to I have to be at
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: full strength against Philadelphia and I can't risk that. So
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: that's that's what I would That would be my argument
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: there for the stars, for the star players like that. Now,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a guy like Tyler Booker. Booker, I think he could
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: play some and he's he's a starting guard. But I'm
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: just saying for not ever playing football before, I'm okay
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: with him getting out there. All right, let's go to
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Anthony in New Orleans. Anthony not as.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Noney in New Orleans. But anyway, listen the first time
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: call it, but a long time. My question is should
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: should I be worried about if Michael Parker has been
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: onna sign him? I think they will. But then the
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: second thing, how do we look as far as running back?
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I'm not sold on a running back position? Can you
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: enlighten me on that?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Sure? Sure? Did you say you were from New Orleans
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: or not from New Orleans?
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: From New Orleans, Bonnie Rave, But I've been a Cowboys
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: fan since I was seven.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: All right, I hear it, man, that's all sixty three? Okay, Well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: all right, Anthony, appreciate that. Thank you for the call.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And I Micah Micah in the running game. There we go,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: we got to here we go first time colored. There
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: you go, Paul. I thought I heard it first, but
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't hear the first part of it.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: All right, born and raised the New Orleans Cowboy fan.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: That's not easy. I mean, of course, because that's a
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: passionate fan base there that you're dealing with with the Saints.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: But the Micah situation, I think it's it's going to happen.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I really do. I think he's going to sign. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: think this we'll get to the point where let me
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: let me say, all right, Anthony's still there, Yeah, all right,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: all right, all right, well we're gonna all in the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: out here. Thank you for the call, Paul. Let's get
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: to let's clear the line for that, and then let
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: me answer this off the air. Micah. I do believe
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Will Will will sign before the season starts it. If not,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to to be there. I mean,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: he's yeah, he's gonna come back and play, whether he's
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: on a contract or he's not on a contract. But
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I definitely think he will. He will sign, and and
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and you know they'll come to an agreement where he's
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be out there. He's not gonna be missing
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: game checks. So uh, and he knows he can't be
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: bad when he's out there, So he's gonna get himself
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: ready to go, get back here, ramp this thing up
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: so he can be at full strength and hit. If
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have that contract yet, he's going to prove
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: why he should have it. So you can't go out
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: there and say all this and hold out and then
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: go and get one tackle and no sacks against the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Eagles and they lose the game, and then your leverage
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: is not good there. So all right, let's go to
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: let's go to the running back question, and Paul, can
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: we can we clear the line please? I still have Anthony,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: thank you. So the running back question, I it's still
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it's it's the most debated spot, probably because nothing is
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: settled from top to bottom. You if Phil Maffa went
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: out and had one hundred and twenty two yards rushing
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: against the Ravens scored a touchdown, there would be some
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: talk that he should start. I don't think that that's
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: gonna happen, but I'm just saying we got a guy
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: that might be on the team. Maybe he's gonna be
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: in the running back rotation. Same with Javonte Williams, same
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: with Miles Sanders, same with Jayden Blue. Jaydon Blue is
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: gonna be on the team. Maybe he's the starter, maybe
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: he's the third down back. Maybe Javonte Williams is the starter,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's the third down back. Maybe Miles Sanders is
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the starter. But maybe Miles Sanders isn't on the team.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And then what about Malik Davis? Now is he can
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying nothing. It's a very intriguing position, but
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: nothing is settled at all, and I don't know if
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: it's going to be in the in the just by
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: based off of preseason games. I'd like to see these
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: guys run the ball, But if you're not going to
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: play your offensive line for that long, and then what
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: kind of test are you really showing them? So we'll see,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: you know, not one hundred percent sure about running back
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and all that to be said, there could be a
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: guy on another team that gets cut and released that's
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: a better option than all of the guys I just mentioned.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: And that's a position where you can just go in
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: there and say, you know, run the football. Now the
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: pass protection is a big deal. You got to trust
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: them there. But if a guy could run the ball
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and he's in football shape, he should be able to contribute.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It's not the hardest position to figure out a new
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: offense and stuff like that. It's really more pass protection
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: than anything. But it's wide open. Running back is absolutely
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: wide open. I think there's probably six or seven options
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: there and they've only got four or five on the roster.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't even mention Deuce fond but I just I don't.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I don't see it now. Hunter Lypke's going to be
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: involved somehow. But for Deuce he gets these chances. He
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: may be more than you know, not as much as
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: some fans want to see, but he just doesn't do
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: a whole lot with it. I just have a hard
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: time thinking there's going to be a spot for him.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to our next caller. We've got Greg.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: He's in the Outer Banks. That's North Carolina in Southeast Virginia.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be first time caller, Greg. What's up?
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Hey man, I am a first time caller. How are
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: you doing?
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: We go?
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: So?
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Are you what state are you actually in?
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: I'm in North Carolina I'm in the kill Double Hills,
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: North Carolina, where the right memorial is. Okay, you can
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: see it out my window. Yep.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Nice. All right, So I have North Carolina and Virginia
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: written down here. So that's that's good. But definitely for
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: first time.
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: For me, early an hour from Virginia. Most of the
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: people from Virginia come down here to vacation.
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: Cool.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: All right, Well man, the first time caller, What do
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you got? What's on your mind?
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, we talk about the offensive line, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: I worries there. I think that through as the season goes,
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: it's gonna work its way. It's gonna fix itself due
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: to reps. I think our wide receiver room is pretty
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: much set. We just got to figure out the fourth
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: and fifth receiver. I think our linebacker course is set.
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: We got to work on our corner course. But what
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: our real real problem, and it's been for several years now,
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: is the one tech. And I think we need to
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: accept reality and say the experiment is over and let
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: MASI go. I think Mazzie needs to go, and I
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: think Douche needs to go. I mean, as much as
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: you love them, uh, it's just it's just taking up
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: roster spots, and we need to figure out, especially the
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: one tech. We need to figure out the middle of
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: the line because we cannot stop the run. We cannot
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: stop the run, and we gotta have we gotta have
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: some we gotta got some beef there that you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: we can't have people paying one tech and losing weight.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's just it's not it's just not gonna work.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because go ahead ahead.
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: You look at you look at Baltimore, you know in
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: their offensive line. You look at Los Angeles and their
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: offensive line. I mean, they just overpower you. And of course,
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: you know you can work with that with technique, but
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: still when it comes right down to it, and you
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: go to Philadelphia and you know you got Henry running
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: right down your your face, they don't have to do
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: anything else. I mean, you know, they could throw the
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: ball a few times, but it's just just handle the
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: ball off and there's nothing we can do to stop it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: And we're just going to wear a defense totally out
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: and we don't even have backups for that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yep, you're not You're not wrong about what Philadelphia could do.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: And and and you know that's they are all these
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: receivers and tight ends, but they don't have to do
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: all that, and they're gonna they're going to establish the
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: run right off the bat, Greg, did you have anything
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: else before I address that?
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: Or that's it?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, well man, thanks for the call. Good to hear
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: from you. Always good to hear from a first time caller.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: So call us back for sure. Glad that you're a
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: part of the show.
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Okay, you know the the Mazie stuff. I'm
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of in between. I think where a lot
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: of fans are on experiments over time, to go the
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: experiment or having him be a starter, I think you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: got to look at other options. I don't think he's
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: he's the guy there like that they wanted him to do,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: like but has to go. I don't think he's counting
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: that much money on the on the cap where you
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: would you know you're saving all this. Here's the thing,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be, it's almost impossible for him to actually
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: to meet expectations at this point in his career. I mean,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be really, really tough because you're a first
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: round pick and it's already two years where you just
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: have done anything, and the expectations now are so low
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: that when he doesn't get knocked off the ball or
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: actually makes a play, you're like, WHOA. Everybody in the
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: press box like Mazzi, it's not what you what you
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: wanted to be. But I'll say this, like on the
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: flip side, here's a guy that that it's not like
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Micah Mica has had three different coordinators in the last
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: three years and he just goes and rushes the passer
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and does his thing and and you know, this has
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: been good at it. And Dearon Bland's had different you know,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: uh coordinators and all that overshown some as well. But Mazzi,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: this hasn't you know, this hasn't been a good a
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: good situation for a guy that not only has had
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: three different schemes that he's been in with with Quinn
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: and then Zimmer and now Eberfluss scheme, but he's playing
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: at different body weights, he's playing different positions. There's just
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: been no consistency in his situation and then therefore there's
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: been no consistency in his play. If that sounds like
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: an excuse, that's not the intent. What I'm saying is
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: is there has been a lot of things that have
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: changed in this defense. Some players have been able to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: adapt better than others, and it hasn't been that way
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: for Masie. So he could stand to have a little consistency.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: And so that being said, I don't know if I'm
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: ready to just cut ties, but counting on him all
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the time as a starter, I don't think you can
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: do that. So if there's an in between, then that
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: that's me. I'm gonna take a break here real quick.
• 24:34

  Speaker 2: next week as well. All right, let's go to Rick
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: in Webster, Massachusetts.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: Rick.
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: What's up, hey, Nick?
• 27:31
  Speaker 14: How are you doing good?
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 27:33
  Speaker 14: I'm all right? Yeah, speaking of the roster things looking
• 27:37
  Speaker 14: forward to at the thirty's game, hopefully we get Booker
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: and a few other people who didn't play playing so
• 27:45
  Speaker 14: you can see what they're all about.
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but for roster.
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: Thing, sincy and stuff people putting out, you know, like
• 27:53
  Speaker 14: projections and stuff like that, beating some of those old things.
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: Winfree Sky I think should make teams and Childress and
• 28:04
  Speaker 14: mostly and those are the two main ones. Yeah, that
• 28:11
  Speaker 14: didn't make a team. And I said this should be
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: on the team. Oh awesome, So it said they wouldn't
• 28:16
  Speaker 14: be on the team. I think he's a multi switched,
• 28:20
  Speaker 14: he's a multi flex player, so he should make a team.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, he could play you can play
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: guard and play tackle. I don't know if he's proven
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: they can play either one. Well, I mean, and that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: not a knock on him, it's just yeah, you got
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: position flex. But sometimes position flex hurts those young players
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: because they're they're they're playing a little bit here, they're
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: playing here and they need to be focused all the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: time here. And so I mean, here's the guy. I mean,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: just he had trouble lining up on the line of
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: scrimmage two plays in a row. But he's got some
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: skill there, there's no doubt about it. This is his
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: third year. He's he's got some something to his game.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: You know that are gonna keep. They're gonna keep a
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: couple of players like that, those backup position flex guys,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: and so you know, is it gonna be Hakeema identity
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: or you know, uh Cornelius or the rookie and Austin Richards.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's a lot, there's a lot to
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: be you know, on the table. Still and Perry and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Winfrey you mentioned him. I mean he's been pretty good.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, but it's a position of need, and I
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: would imagine there's there might be somebody out there that
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: gets released that's that's more experienced and better than him.
• 29:29
  Speaker 14: So yeah, that's correct.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now Childress, I'm I'm thinking he has a good
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: shot of making this team. Zion Childress, rookie from Kentucky
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: safety corner, nickel guy, slot guy, special teams guy, a
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: lot of checking a lot of boxes off there. So
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I think rookie free agent wise, I think, look watch
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: out for him.
• 29:54
  Speaker 14: That's for sure.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: All get on, all right, They thanks appreciate that. Yeah,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: this is that time of year where you know, you
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: it's sometimes it's so easy to just look at the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: roster and go, Okay, who's who's making it? This guy
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: or this guy and this guy's been a little bit better,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: but this guy could do this. This guy does you know,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: he plays he plays the safety a little bit better.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: This guy's a little bit better special teams, but he's
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: better at this. And then you're like, you're trying to
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: do the roster next thing. You know, I've been burned
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: by this so many times, like, oh wait, the the
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Broncos just cut this guy and he's gonna he's been
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: here five years and he's gonna come here and he's
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: actually with this defensive backs coach and you know at
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: another you know spot, and he can play both the better,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: and so he's going on the team. You know, you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: you're trying to predict the roster. That's why I've done
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I used to take, you know, the flip card to
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: start up training camp and here's my projected fifty three
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: and then you know, the final fifteen spots are all
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: mixed up, and this guy's on the team for a day,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: but then he's on ir It's like, yeah, I've stopped
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: doing that because it's so tough and for things just
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: like this, I mean, you want to you want to
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: pick this guy over this guy in the offensive line,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: but I mean that's why. That's why twelve scouts are
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: at training camp. The Cowboys have scouts for three weeks
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: at training camp. They're looking at that and then they
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: they go to start looking at other teams. So right now,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: you see a game I'm watching on NFL Network, Tampa
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Bay versus Tennessee, I'm sure the Cowboys have a scout
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: there and they and they're looking at a defensive tackle,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: going all right, find out if that number fifty eight
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: for that team is better than Winfrey, or find out
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: if this tackle is better than Austin Richards or Cornelius
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: or you know whatever it is. So that's that's going
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: around all in the league. And I bet you there's
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: three players maybe four, but I'm gonna say three players
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: for sure that are on the roster against the Eagles
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: that are not here. I don't know what positions, but
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: that's kind of what I'm thinking. All right, let's go
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: to Armando in Mexico City.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: How are you good?
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Are you?
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Are you fine?
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: Fine? I'm really happy that we have football back again. Yeah, well,
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: at least some games. So that's something. The only thing
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: that I didn't like was that, for some reason, I
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: got the Rams broadcast with with game Pass subscription, and
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: of course it was Rams all the time, so I
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: couldn't really care less about the high school story of
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: the Rams four stringer long snapper, you know. But anyway,
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: other than.
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: That, pretty happy.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: So who do you are.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: Respecting to really looking forward to playing this Saturday?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, thanks for the call. I'm going to cut
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: that off and we're having a little feedback there. So
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't know if that was on the call or
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: or what. But I answer those questions. First off, on
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: your on the part about the the Rams broadcast, it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: good that you got to see it nationally. That that's
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: what happens. They they take the home team's feet. So
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: if you get the same NFL you know game Pass
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: or these these games are going to be on live
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: on NFL network, you're gonna get the Cowboys broadcast. You're
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: going to get our people on there. I can't tell
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: you who all is going to be on the sideline
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: right now or that's kind of up in the air,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: but I know that you'll see, you know, the our
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: people that are there, uh doing that game and the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: next one. So when you see that the the preseason games,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: like I'm watching right now. This this this Buccaneers Tennessee game,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: which I guess was from last weekend. You know it's
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: it says the Bucks Network on there. This is a
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: home game, so therefore that's the broadcast you're going to get.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna get the Cowboys. You'll get the Cowboys
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: stories from the backup long snapper, which there isn't one
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: on the team right now, but stories like that you'll
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: get from the Cowboys perspective for the next couple of games.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: And then as far as another question you had just
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: guys that I'm looking forward to seeing. You know, I
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: think that I keep harping on it, but but I
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: want to see the running game. I want to see
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: the running backs and the running games. So Tyler Booker
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: would like to see him out there. I think Cooper
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: bebe might you know, he's still a young player. He
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: can be out there. I don't need to see Tyler Smith,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: but uh, you know, if you want to, they want
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: to put Hoffman in bass and those guys out there
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: and maybe even Terrence Steele run the ball a little
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: bit with these with these backs, because if you want
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: to evaluate the backs, you kind of need to evaluate
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the offensive line and have have a true test there.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: So one way or another, I want to see how
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: they run the football. I don't want to see the
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: first six plays which just two series and no and
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: no runs. Want them to run it, keep running it,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: have some success and even get down in the gold line.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I get there's things to evaluate, you know, to see
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: how the receivers can catch the ball and the tight
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: ends making plays and the quarterbacks delivering. But I also
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: want to see them run it and punch it in.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: So that's one thing I would like to see. All right,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: let's go to our next call. Chris is in San Angelo,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: So so Chris.
• 35:17
  Speaker 13: Mister Nick, how are you?
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: Hey?
• 35:20
  Speaker 13: Good? Sorry? I just I just heard you. My bad,
• 35:23
  Speaker 13: You're fine, okay, Hey, good to see you back in
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: studio and Frisco. First of all, thank you, and then
• 35:31
  Speaker 13: and second I was I was just having a I
• 35:34
  Speaker 13: had a thought. Uh, I know you're not on the
• 35:36
  Speaker 13: coaching staff, but I was wondering if you think that
• 35:39
  Speaker 13: it would be a good idea or do you think
• 35:43
  Speaker 13: it would hurt anything? If the Cowboys may be you know,
• 35:46
  Speaker 13: they always talked about preseason there's vanilla calling and if
• 35:52
  Speaker 13: maybe just they opened it up a little bit more
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: for some of these players that are out there. Obviously,
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: you can't show too much because that's not going to
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: be out there, and hopefully CD isn't. And I'm not
• 36:08
  Speaker 13: talking anything crazy, like you know, the double reverse would
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: Turpin and CD you to throw back to taking it.
• 36:15
  Speaker 13: But I'm talking about just opening up the playbook a
• 36:18
  Speaker 13: little bit more to get these guys that are out
• 36:21
  Speaker 13: there a little more of a situational type situation, you
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: know what I mean.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think that's a slippery slope. That's just
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: that's one where that you don't need to see Turpin
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: run the ball. But if they gave that type of
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: play to to Jalen Cropper, I mean, that's still putting
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: it out there a little bit, you know what I mean.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: And so opening up the playbook, it's still opening up
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: the playbook, regardless of who's doing it. And it is
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: just a fine line where, you know, do you want
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: to sit give give our guys the best chance to succeed,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: and you also want to expose the type of things
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: we're trying to do. And that's the balance that Shoddy
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and this staff and all staffs have have to deal with.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: And I guarantee you there's fans that say I want
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: to see more, and there's coaches that are like, why
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: are we showing so much? And so you got to
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: find that that balance. You're not wrong. But at the
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: same time, just just putting the plays out there, even
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: without the different personnel, I don't I don't think uh
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: is something that you're trying to do, especially for a
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: for a new staff. You got to remember, we're gonna
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: we're gonna hear that that term a lot that we've
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: we've heard it the last few years. Was it unscouted looks?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: You know, the Cowboys have more of that than Philly has.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Now Philly has a ring and they're gonna have a banner,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: So we take that. But you kind of know what
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: they're gonna do more than the Cowboys are gonna do.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean the Cowboys are gonna do it better.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's the only really advantage they have,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: and so right now they don't need to be showing
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: much of anything about what they're going to be doing.
• 38:07
  Speaker 13: Okay, I was I wasn't suggesting it. I was just
• 38:10
  Speaker 13: saying that, you know, maybe if to help with some
• 38:13
  Speaker 13: of the situational top football with some of these guys
• 38:17
  Speaker 13: that are trying to you know, make the team and
• 38:21
  Speaker 13: you know, or get get into position to make the team.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, awesome, Well, I you know, again, that's that's
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: just my opinion. I mean, I'm everyone has a different,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: different theory on how they should handle this in the
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: preseason and all that. As I said in the previous shows,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I said it maybe earlier today on I joined Cowboys
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Break and I just kind of said that that, you know,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: their success or lack of success in the first week,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: first month of the season isn't so drastic that I
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: have to say they're they're too rusty. They got to
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: be out there. That's they've been. They've been good enough.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: That got hurt in twenty twenty with his you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: with his ankle and foot, and he was missed the
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: whole season, and he comes back and didn't play anything
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: in the in the preseason, and then he throws for
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: four hundred yards against the world champion Bucks and they
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: were two seconds away from winning that game. So that's
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: one of those things where I feel like these guys
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: will get themselves ready to play.
• 39:22
  Speaker 13: That's perfect. Thank you for answering me Rick, all.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Right, all right, no problem as man call man caled Worth,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: especially if you're gonna rhyme it and anyways, all right.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of times where we get
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: callers and I'm kind of like, is that the first
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: time caller? Maybe? And I'll ask it and they're like, no, no,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I called before. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm pretty
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: sure that I've never typed in Spence from Alaska. Spence, Yes, sir,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: what is up? Man?
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: I am well, thank you?
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: How are y'all doing?
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Let's pause because it's your first time call, which means,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: all right, so you're in Alaska right now?
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: I am in southeast Alaska. Let's not born and raised
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: oh nine thirty, I reckon.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Ish okay ninety four yep, But.
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: So yeah, A long time Cowboys fan, born and raised
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: in Nabline.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Been watching.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: I haven't missed a game in thirty years, even though
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: I've lived all over the country via you know, satellite
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: radio or going to the sports bar or whatever it
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: may be to be able to see them. But but
• 40:36
  Speaker 9: I'm a huge fan of really paying attention in camp,
• 40:41
  Speaker 9: and I want to know the depth of the team,
• 40:44
  Speaker 9: you know, and and this year, like there's so many
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: obvious concerns, but I'm feeling like weirdly optimistic. But I
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: believe that the deepest question. I know, the cornerback room
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: is in dire straits right now, temporarily hopefully, Yeah, but
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: it's Jordan Lewis. I mean, how do you replace that guy?
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: He was the spiritual leader of the defense. I remember
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: when he got drafted, if he was even drafted, yeah, yeah,
• 41:20
  Speaker 9: but there was that first round pick who'd never really
• 41:23
  Speaker 9: panned out. He made his Pro Bowl the first year
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: and then he just the guy's not even in the
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: league anymore. But Lewis, you know, out competed him for
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: that position. I mean, he just like flat out won
• 41:36
  Speaker 9: it and since then has been a dog. And I
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: just don't know. I know the cornerback room is in
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: bad straits, but specifically, if we were healthy, who covers
• 41:51
  Speaker 9: in the slot?
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a great question. That's what they're trying
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: to figure out. They're trying to figure out if he
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: you know, if he's going to be the guy. You know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: if it's going to be you know, one of these
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: young guys. Is it going to be Childress or Mukuamu
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: or a Keemon Hall. Is it going to be Bland
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: to slide inside and you've got someone that could play
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: on the outside. A lot of questions that they're they're
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: figuring out because that Bland thing is always that's a
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: good plan. But then who's on the outside, you know,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I mean it's not like Haylen Carson's step you know,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: you need one of these guys that are that are
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: injured to step up.
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: I mean, well, a great camp he has and we
• 42:32
  Speaker 9: like that.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: That's one but we have I mean Diggs is a
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: huge question mark, yeah, you know, and Bland Actually he
• 42:41
  Speaker 9: takes a lot of chances. You know, there's a reason
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: he got six picks or whatever it was like that
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: he gets burned sometimes, of course.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he's risky. Yeah, and they're not afraid
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: of him. That's the thing that teams aren't afraid of Bland, and.
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: I will throw it him, especially if you've got Dag call.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: The other exactly. So huge question marks at corner. That's
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: one of those positions. I said it earlier. There's three
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: or four spots on this team that I think are
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: going to be there's gonna be a player on this
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: roster that from another team. Corner has got to be
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: one of them, if not two, if not two.
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: So and what about this guy that we just signed,
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: does he you got any gumption.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Or tell me the name.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: There was a free.
• 43:26
  Speaker 9: Agent signing just last week at the corner position.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Now I'm just going to say nobody that they've brought
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: in or you're like, oh, that's the answer, you know
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: what I mean, it's there's there's not there's there's there's
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: guys that that are trying to fill in and help
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: and all that, but but not to the point where
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: you know, there's still kind of a camp body, uh
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: status right now?
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: So all right, and we none of our stud site
• 43:53
  Speaker 9: beasts cann't bounce down there, right like.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: I mean mcwama is kind of a back and forth
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: type of guy. But now not really a lot of
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: those safeties are linebacker type guys, you know, if they're
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: going to move to another position to be linebackers, So
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: you really don't have that. I mean, Childress, the rookie
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: from Kentucky we talked about, he's he's in that boat
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: and he can kind of do that one.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Ye.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Thomas is a guy too, there's a safety that can
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: play some in corners, so you know he's he's a
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: guy that that could also be there as well.
• 44:27
  Speaker 9: And he's been flashing too.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's had some moments.
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: So and then I guess like just as a follow
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: up and I'll take this off there. But if you
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: wanted to talk about whether our new linebackers can cover
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: or not, I don't really know what their strengths are.
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: I know they can tackle.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, thanks for having me, Thanks for the call.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Good luck there in Alaska. That's awesome, you know it
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: all right? Well, I heard him say born and raised
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: in Abilene, so that's that's not far from you know,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: the smallest town that gets mentioned here the most is Stanford, Texas,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: of course, which is about forty five minutes from Abilene,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: which my wife's from. We got, you know, three or
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: four callers have called in there. That's about about five
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: percent of the population. But it's awesome. I'm glad we're
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: putting it on the map and A Spence is there
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: in Alaska and keeping up with the Cowboys doing good.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: The linebackers you talked about, you know, coverage has been
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: pretty good, Jack, Jack Sanborn, I thought had a pretty
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: nice training camp, and he's a guy that does a
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: does a good job there and uh in coverage and
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Murray can can do that as well. I don't think,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I mean Overshown is maybe the best at it, but
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: he's banged up. Right now, we're going to take a
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: break here, We're gonna come back. We've got a chance

  Speaker 1: The Cowboys story hine.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: All right back here on Cowboys storyline. We got one
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: final segment. We're gonna take one more callers, Gonna be
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: real quick here. The last caller will be Fernando. He's
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: been holding for a little bit. Rana in Miami for Randa.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: All right, Nick, I'm gonna make it quick. We made
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: training camp this year. We stayed at that townhouse place
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: or Sweeter or something, and we're leaving back to Miami today.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: We met Mickey, we met I saw Christy Scales, and
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: I saw Tyler Booker. He was staying at the hotel
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: with his family.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, nice, that was.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: So yeah, So that was pretty cool. Uh. And then
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: the question is our defensive coordinator. We played the Bears
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: like two or three years ago in Texas. When the
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Bears came out with the orange outfit, we ran up
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: and down that defense. Do you think that defense will
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: be good because we we I mean Doc looked like
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer that day. Yeah, So what do
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: you think about that defense of theirs?
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Well, how did Micah play against the against the Cowboys?
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: They?
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: I mean I played against the Bears. I don't think
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: you played against the Cowboys. Now, I think thanks for
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: the call. We're gonna We're gonna move on. But I'll
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: answer that. I mean, I I just think that's a
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: tough comparison. Uh, their defense has been pretty good in
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Chicago the last couple of years. They they they take
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: the ball away that they've been solid. Now they have
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: some issues, but they don't have the star players either.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: You know, I think they had ro Kwan Smith or
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: whatever traded them to to Baltimore. They're not keeping their
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: guy like like Micah Parsons, and so you know, they
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: you give, you give a coordinator like Ibra Flus, a
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: lot of really talented players on all three phases, you know,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: from defensive end, linebacker, cornerback, they're they're gonna play, They're
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: gonna play well, They're can play better than that. Michael
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Parson is gonna make this defense much better and and
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: let's not forget. I mean, the Cowboys offense has been good.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: What I mean they they've done that to other defenses
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: as well. Uh, we've seen a lot of games where
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: they've gone up in down the field with them. So
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: that doesn't necessarily a knock on this coordinator. There's if
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: that's the case, there's a lot of coordinators that are
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: gonna struggle in the in the NFL, you know, just
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: just based off of that. So I wouldn't take that
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: game into consideration at all. All right, thank you for
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: the call, Fernando. Thank you. All right, it's been a
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: good one. We're gonna have to get out of here.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Paul did a great job as well. Chris Beam in
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: the back back at Oxnard, Matt Kentz, they're in the
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: back working the phone lines as well. Thank you for
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: everybody kind of picking up the pieces. We're gonna get
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: out of here. Stay tuned for the to the website
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: for the schedule for next week. We'll figure out exactly
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: when we're gonna be on. I still don't even know,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: but I know this when it, when we do, it's
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of fun. All Right. We'll see
• 49:42
