- 0:28Speaker 1: December the eighteenth, one week away from Christmas. I hope
- 0:34Speaker 1: you're going to get everything you want on the Christmas list.
- 0:37Speaker 1: If that includes a Cowboys trip to the playoffs, we'll see. Yeah,
- 0:44Speaker 1: we'll see what happens next year with that, all right?
- 0:47Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven
- 0:50Speaker 1: is the number to call. We've got a couple of
- 0:53Speaker 1: callers on the line. Chris, it's back there. Fix the
- 0:58Speaker 1: audio or something that we have. I hear a little
- 1:01Speaker 1: something there we go. Sorry, it's the second show of
- 1:05Speaker 1: the day, you know, and gets it, gets it rolling
- 1:07Speaker 1: by by noon or so. I'm just kidding, Chris, what's
- 1:10Speaker 1: up man, what's up? Sorry? I could just hear echo
- 1:14Speaker 1: or something I knew. I'm sorry, that's all right, that's
- 1:16Speaker 1: all right. It happens, you know, what happens to the
- 1:18Speaker 1: best of us.
- 1:19Speaker 5: For sure.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna make three mistakes here in the next ten minutes.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I don't even know about all right, Robbie in Coco Beach,
- 1:27Speaker 1: North Carolina is up? What's up man?
- 1:29Speaker 3: Florida?
- 1:29Speaker 2: North Florida, Not North Carolina.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. There's my first mistake. I was just
- 1:34Speaker 1: playing what's that wrong?
- 1:35Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up? What's up?
- 1:37Speaker 3: Man?
- 1:37Speaker 2: Hey, Merry Christmas to you again. So my boy was
- 1:41Speaker 2: sending his Christmas was the Santa and anything asked for
- 1:45Speaker 2: all the normal stuff. He wanted a new bike, a
- 1:47Speaker 2: new fish and rod and he said, I hope the
- 1:49Speaker 2: Cowboys win the Super Bowl. He said, well, I don't
- 1:51Speaker 2: know if that's gonna happen this year, but you know,
- 1:53Speaker 2: they're still a chance to make the playoffs. But we'll
- 1:56Speaker 2: see about that.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Looks like it looks like you're gonna need to get
- 1:59Speaker 1: an Xbox it Madden and let him, you know, get
- 2:02Speaker 1: to work. That's probably the best chance for that right now.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably the best chance we've got all that
- 2:08Speaker 2: he plays.
- 2:09Speaker 1: All right, Maybe that's what he meant. Maybe that's what
- 2:11Speaker 1: he meant, you know, I don't think so.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Okay, but I got a better Christmas wish. I hope
- 2:17Speaker 2: that Darren with Woodson gets into the Hall of Fame
- 2:19Speaker 2: this year. I think he will, man, I hope. So
- 2:22Speaker 2: it's about time.
- 2:23Speaker 1: It's about time. It is about time.
- 2:25Speaker 6: I know he knows, and how well you've talked about him,
- 2:28Speaker 6: and well other people have talked to him.
- 2:30Speaker 2: And listened to his podcast a year or so ago
- 2:32Speaker 2: when it was out.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Yeah, what a great, great person.
- 2:36Speaker 2: He definitely deserves it for all he's done and for
- 2:38Speaker 2: how he played and all the right reasons.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, there's a lot of great people that aren't
- 2:42Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, you know, And I think
- 2:46Speaker 1: because of the person he is, we all, you know,
- 2:48Speaker 1: root for him even more. But he could be the
- 2:51Speaker 1: biggest jackass in the world. He deserves to be in
- 2:54Speaker 1: the game for how he played, because he played like
- 2:57Speaker 1: in an era that you know, it was it was
- 2:59Speaker 1: hard to be a safety, linebacker, slash cover corner. He
- 3:02Speaker 1: could do it all and especially he could do it all,
- 3:04Speaker 1: and he did it all. He did it all. So yeah,
- 3:08Speaker 1: he needs to be in there.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Well, here's prayers for him to get in this year. Man,
- 3:12Speaker 2: I know you're hoping for it too. And uh, other
- 3:14Speaker 2: than that, let's let's beat the Bucks this weekend, all right,
- 3:18Speaker 2: and and make it more interesting because you know, I
- 3:20Speaker 2: love my kloid and that's it.
- 3:24Speaker 6: A great week.
- 3:24Speaker 1: But I appreciate the call. You know, I was looking.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I wanted to see what Washington this's got going on.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Washington at they got Philly at home. Okay, So so
- 3:38Speaker 1: if Washington wins one more game, then the Cowboys are
- 3:42Speaker 1: are eliminated. I believe that. That's how I read that.
- 3:46Speaker 1: That's true. Okay, So, and I know Atlanta is in
- 3:48Speaker 1: there too, there's something with Atlanta, but Washington is the one.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if they if they uh you know,
- 3:55Speaker 1: if they beat Philly this week, then they're they're out
- 3:57Speaker 1: and uh are the Cowboys would be out regardless of
- 4:00Speaker 1: what they do, and then Washington plays Atlanta. That would
- 4:04Speaker 1: be kind of interesting. But all right, you know, at
- 4:08Speaker 1: this point and you're just you're you're kind of just
- 4:10Speaker 1: playing to play, and the fact that they're still in
- 4:14Speaker 1: it mathematically is enough to go out there and play.
- 4:18Speaker 1: But I think I think that you know, we've seen,
- 4:20Speaker 1: you know, what we've seen with what Mike McCarthy and
- 4:23Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer and those guys have said all along. We've
- 4:25Speaker 1: seen what Micah Parsons is saying. You know that they're
- 4:28Speaker 1: out here to to play they're they're they're out here
- 4:30Speaker 1: to try to do the best that they can and
- 4:32Speaker 1: try to win these games. And that's the way they
- 4:34Speaker 1: should play it. And in my opinion, and you know,
- 4:37Speaker 1: I'd look at this as if you if you don't
- 4:40Speaker 1: you know, if it doesn't work out, you don't win
- 4:41Speaker 1: the game, then you get something out of it, you
- 4:44Speaker 1: know what I mean? To me, this is like going
- 4:46Speaker 1: to the steakhouse. Every game is like going to the
- 4:48Speaker 1: steakhouse and you're just you want to get a big,
- 4:50Speaker 1: juicy steak. But if you end up giving you a
- 4:52Speaker 1: salad at the end, it's not what you wanted, but
- 4:54Speaker 1: you know, at least you look at it like, well,
- 4:56Speaker 1: you know, at least at least I'm be eating healthy today.
- 4:58Speaker 1: It's not what I wanted, but I'm eat healthy. That's
- 5:00Speaker 1: the way I look at losses. At this point in
- 5:02Speaker 1: the year, you're trying to win. You're trying to win.
- 5:05Speaker 1: If it doesn't work, you see the silver lining line, Well,
- 5:07Speaker 1: at least it helps the draft pick. But that's the
- 5:09Speaker 1: after the fact. It's not going into it anything like that,
- 5:12Speaker 1: all right. Irene from Falls Church, Virginia, Irene, what's up?
- 5:16Speaker 7: Meg mornon I'll touch on what you just talked about
- 5:19Speaker 7: for a second. Yeah, that's I think that's the difficulty
- 5:22Speaker 7: in watching these games right now, is that, you know,
- 5:25Speaker 7: because we lost the Cincinnati and then the miracle. I
- 5:28Speaker 7: don't know it's a miracle finish, but Washington they've had
- 5:30Speaker 7: a couple really really close games that they probably should
- 5:33Speaker 7: have lost. So it's just kind of tough to watch
- 5:36Speaker 7: because you're like, oh, they're playing so well right now
- 5:39Speaker 7: and it's just not going to matter. But it is
- 5:41Speaker 7: what it is. At least it matters for evaluations, and
- 5:44Speaker 7: I think it'll I don't know. I don't know how
- 5:46Speaker 7: much I believe in carrying over, but I do think
- 5:48Speaker 7: the will of the team is important and they have
- 5:51Speaker 7: the will. So anyway, I wanted to get my Christmas movie,
- 5:55Speaker 7: and I think that was Mike's question, Oh yeah, from
- 5:57Speaker 7: last week. Not a huge movie for so I'm probably
- 6:00Speaker 7: missing something, but I'm with Ali. I'm Miracle on thirty
- 6:03Speaker 7: fourth Street. It made me as a kid, It made
- 6:07Speaker 7: me reconsider my position on Santa Claus as being real.
- 6:10Speaker 7: So I feel like you, that's pretty magical.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I know.
- 6:13Speaker 7: I was like, wait a minute for the beard, and
- 6:17Speaker 7: maybe I wasn't too.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Smart, but I have we have people from all ages
- 6:21Speaker 1: watching the show, Irene, so you know what, there you go.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Everybody believes in what they believe. Can't hey, you can't
- 6:28Speaker 1: tell definitely, don't tell people what to believe.
- 6:34Speaker 7: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, so there you go. Y'all can
- 6:36Speaker 7: believe in Santa. It's fine, It's all good.
- 6:39Speaker 8: All right.
- 6:40Speaker 7: I'm a little bit acting. I'm switching up a little.
- 6:42Speaker 7: I'm acting as messenger today. My guy Jay from Battle Creek, Michigan.
- 6:46Speaker 7: He talks to me all the time during the game.
- 6:48Speaker 7: He wanted to know what you would think of the
- 6:51Speaker 7: potential of Zach Martin Tyron Smith being inducted to the
- 6:54Speaker 7: Hall of Fame together if they both retire after this season.
- 6:58Speaker 7: And Daveon wants to know who our most important player
- 7:02Speaker 7: is right right now in this moment playoff the side
- 7:06Speaker 7: for is it CD or is it Rico? And if
- 7:10Speaker 7: I don't talk to you before Christmas, which probably won't
- 7:12Speaker 7: enjoy your celebrations, Okay, thank you, by.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess I could have asked that again of
- 7:20Speaker 1: what the most important player Rico or CD? Maybe I
- 7:27Speaker 1: don't understand that question. If it's you know, maybe it's
- 7:32Speaker 1: just running the ball. You know, you run us up
- 7:34Speaker 1: the pass, or you pass the ball set up the run.
- 7:37Speaker 1: I mean, who scares you? I mean, as a defensive coordinator,
- 7:40Speaker 1: who would scare you more?
- 7:42Speaker 9: So?
- 7:42Speaker 1: If that's the case, I mean, I think it's certainly CD.
- 7:45Speaker 1: But but Rico's playing really well right now. They're running
- 7:48Speaker 1: the ball well and they're doing a nice job.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Here.
- 7:51Speaker 1: We've got a basketball team coming in here as a
- 7:53Speaker 1: tour man. These guys look pretty good. Guys look ready
- 7:55Speaker 1: to go here. There's seriously, there's about fifteen guys. They
- 8:00Speaker 1: are all about six three six four, just all walking
- 8:02Speaker 1: through here. What's up here? This might be a high
- 8:04Speaker 1: school team, college team. They're ready to go. Though I
- 8:07Speaker 1: don't want to. I wouldn't want to face them. The
- 8:10Speaker 1: first question or the the other part that you were
- 8:14Speaker 1: talking about about difficult, you know, to watch Washington and
- 8:19Speaker 1: all that stuff and where they are and how lucky
- 8:21Speaker 1: that they've been or fortunate, No, not lucky, but they're fortunate.
- 8:24Speaker 1: The thing that's that's probably a little bit you know,
- 8:28Speaker 1: disappointing from a Cowboys standpoint as you look at you know,
- 8:32Speaker 1: Washington's three games up on the Cowboys, at eight and five,
- 8:36Speaker 1: five and eight or no, I'm sorry, Cowboys are six
- 8:38Speaker 1: and eight now and Washington is nine and five, so
- 8:41Speaker 1: this is this is an older one. I'm looking at
- 8:43Speaker 1: the wrong way. So still though, I think they're three
- 8:47Speaker 1: games up on on the Cowboys, and and and Dallas
- 8:49Speaker 1: is a better team. And that's my opinion. I mean,
- 8:52Speaker 1: I've seen them play face to face. Dallas was better.
- 8:55Speaker 1: They were better that day, and so, without a doubt,
- 8:59Speaker 1: so I think without a doubt that the Cowboys should
- 9:02Speaker 1: be have a better recor through Washington. They do not,
- 9:05Speaker 1: and that's that's unfortunate for them. But that's that's the
- 9:08Speaker 1: situation that I look at and say, man, that's that's
- 9:10Speaker 1: where first place schedule goes in. That's where some you know,
- 9:13Speaker 1: breaks don't go your way, and it's working for Washington.
- 9:16Speaker 1: But you know, Washington is going to play, you know,
- 9:18Speaker 1: and probably get to the playoffs. And I don't think
- 9:20Speaker 1: they're a better football team than the Cowboys, but you
- 9:22Speaker 1: blame Dallas for that. That's just you know, blame them
- 9:26Speaker 1: for where they are in the situation here. All right,
- 9:28Speaker 1: let's go to Gary in New Mexico.
- 9:31Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how you doing?
- 9:33Speaker 1: Man?
- 9:34Speaker 10: Hey, I'm doing good. Okay, I got an old school, fun,
- 9:36Speaker 10: old player trivia question for you, all right, okay. Nineteen
- 9:40Speaker 10: eighty three.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, yeah yeah.
- 9:44Speaker 10: Dallas Cowboys undefeated. Dallas Cowboys are hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- 9:49Speaker 10: Dallas trails by seven with under a minute to play
- 9:52Speaker 10: when Danny Whitet throws a fifty two yard touchdown pass
- 9:55Speaker 10: to which running back.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing about this. You're not just you
- 10:01Speaker 1: didn't just randomly get one, you know, on me here.
- 10:04Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite plays of all time. Okay, no,
- 10:08Speaker 1: I know I'm.
- 10:09Speaker 10: In your wheelhouse because you as one several weeks ago
- 10:12Speaker 10: about a game from that year. That's why. That's why
- 10:14Speaker 10: I brought this one back up.
- 10:15Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite plays though. Seriously, this
- 10:18Speaker 1: is a play to Timmy Newsom and he catches it
- 10:21Speaker 1: on the sideline and in my little seven year old memory,
- 10:25Speaker 1: he tight roped it for like thirty yards. Now I've
- 10:29Speaker 1: gone YouTube, lets me go back and watch it. He
- 10:32Speaker 1: probably did that for about four yards five yards where
- 10:35Speaker 1: he almost goes out of bounds and he's you know,
- 10:37Speaker 1: and he stays in for a touchdown to tie the game.
- 10:41Speaker 1: And Ralfield sept and then wins it in overtime twenty seven,
- 10:45Speaker 1: twenty four.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Maybe yep, that was it, man, you got it.
- 10:48Speaker 3: I love it.
- 10:48Speaker 10: Some really bad tackling by Tampa Bay.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Yeah it was really if we're.
- 10:52Speaker 10: Really honest, But come on, man, Timmy Newsom is one
- 10:55Speaker 10: of what I call my forgotten favorites. I love Timmy Newsom,
- 10:59Speaker 10: one of those guys from when I I was a kid.
- 11:00Speaker 10: I just he had some had to hit a lot
- 11:02Speaker 10: of plays like that, you know, some good strong runs, okay,
- 11:06Speaker 10: past versus present. Sobering fact of the week. Danny White
- 11:11Speaker 10: had more playoff wins in his first three seasons as
- 11:14Speaker 10: a starter than the Cowboys have had this century. So
- 11:17Speaker 10: that brings us back to reality. But let me be positive.
- 11:20Speaker 10: There'll be plenty of time to be negative when the
- 11:22Speaker 10: season's over. A couple of things I'm rooting for as
- 11:25Speaker 10: a Cowboy fan. I'm rooting for them to finish nine
- 11:27Speaker 10: and eight. I don't you know, We're probably not gonna
- 11:30Speaker 10: make the playoffs, but a winning season is a big
- 11:32Speaker 10: deal to me as a fan, and I hope that
- 11:34Speaker 10: they can get that. And I hope that Rico gets
- 11:36Speaker 10: over a thousand yards. So those are things to still
- 11:39Speaker 10: root for, you know, these last three weeks of the season.
- 11:41Speaker 10: And then I want to say this trying to stay
- 11:44Speaker 10: positive because there's so much I could be negative about,
- 11:47Speaker 10: but Ceedee Lamb has really gained my respect as a
- 11:50Speaker 10: player because you know, I'm an old school fan and
- 11:54Speaker 10: I'm an old school guy, and I hold these new
- 11:57Speaker 10: guys to a high standard. But see d Lamb to
- 12:01Speaker 10: play through that injury, that's a painful injury that he's
- 12:04Speaker 10: playing through and to gut through that, that shows me
- 12:08Speaker 10: a lot about his football character. And I think that's
- 12:10Speaker 10: a very positive sign for this team going forward because
- 12:13Speaker 10: we have had so much bad luck with second contracts
- 12:17Speaker 10: and I think maybe we hit on Ceedee Lamb given
- 12:20Speaker 10: in the second deal because he is fighting through that
- 12:23Speaker 10: and a lot of players wouldn't do that. But to
- 12:25Speaker 10: see him gut it out in these games that a
- 12:28Speaker 10: lot of the fans are saying, Oh, we just need
- 12:29Speaker 10: to pink and get a better draft pick. To see
- 12:32Speaker 10: Ceedee Lamb go out there and tough through that injury,
- 12:34Speaker 10: and that's if you've never had that, that's a painful
- 12:36Speaker 10: thing he's dealing with, and for a wide receiver, to
- 12:38Speaker 10: have to deal with that makes it even tougher. Just
- 12:40Speaker 10: have a lot, a lot more respect for that young
- 12:43Speaker 10: man and what he's doing this season as a football player.
- 12:46Speaker 10: But I do have one question. I'll hang up. One
- 12:49Speaker 10: of the problems I think Dallas has and I want
- 12:51Speaker 10: your opinion on this, because you're in the building. Do
- 12:54Speaker 10: you think do you think that Jerry Jones maybe steven
- 12:58Speaker 10: to an extent, but do you think one of the
- 12:59Speaker 10: problems is that Jerry Jones gets a little too close
- 13:03Speaker 10: to his players? And I'll hang up and listen. Thanks
- 13:05Speaker 10: for taking my call.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Mmm, well, I mean listen now, I don't I don't
- 13:13Speaker 1: think so. I don't think it's a little too close
- 13:15Speaker 1: to the players. I think he was a lot closer.
- 13:19Speaker 1: I mean, you can argue it the other way. I mean,
- 13:21Speaker 1: when the last time you saw him on the sideline,
- 13:23Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't do that really any anymore at all.
- 13:26Speaker 1: He was a lot closer to the players back in
- 13:28Speaker 1: the nineties when they were winning. So I don't know
- 13:30Speaker 1: if that's the case. And I know you're probably talking
- 13:33Speaker 1: about it more than just being physically close. You're talking
- 13:37Speaker 1: about you know, going up and having conversations and all that.
- 13:39Speaker 1: But as much as people don't want to like this
- 13:44Speaker 1: fact and reality, he's the general manager of the team.
- 13:48Speaker 1: That's the title that he has, and so he can
- 13:51Speaker 1: do those things, and he can have conversations with players
- 13:54Speaker 1: and and talk to them about about a lot of
- 13:58Speaker 1: things if he wants to. I don't think he's really
- 14:00Speaker 1: even that close to them, But a lot of things
- 14:04Speaker 1: you said, I agree with the CD part. I think
- 14:06Speaker 1: CD has done a really really good job this year
- 14:09Speaker 1: as far as not just playing through an injury, but
- 14:12Speaker 1: playing well through the injury. I mean, he's playing well.
- 14:14Speaker 1: He played a great game the other day. He was
- 14:17Speaker 1: He was phenomenal on third down, made some really nice catches,
- 14:21Speaker 1: run after the catch. There was a couple of plays
- 14:23Speaker 1: where they threw the ball to him on a screen
- 14:25Speaker 1: to just get a few yards and then they'll punt
- 14:27Speaker 1: and he goes and makes the play. He went and
- 14:29Speaker 1: made a first down and extended that drive. And so
- 14:33Speaker 1: he isn't just playing through injuries, playing really well through
- 14:35Speaker 1: the injury. Let's go to Lester and Minnesota as our
- 14:37Speaker 1: next caller.
- 14:38Speaker 9: Lester, Hey, Nick, how you doing this morning?
- 14:42Speaker 6: Man?
- 14:42Speaker 11: Well?
- 14:42Speaker 1: That game was for you man last week. Because I
- 14:45Speaker 1: can promise you this. The offensive line was great and
- 14:49Speaker 1: the defensive line was great as well at the same time,
- 14:52Speaker 1: so you had to like that game against Carolina.
- 14:56Speaker 9: Yeah, I was loving And I tried to get in
- 14:58Speaker 9: yesterday and I heard a lot out of the collar
- 15:00Speaker 9: saying the same pretty much the same thing, and I
- 15:03Speaker 9: was like, yes, yes, yes. And one of my things
- 15:07Speaker 9: I was gonna say today is that since I had
- 15:10Speaker 9: my little rant, I'm sorry, I had a rant that
- 15:12Speaker 9: I don't usually rant about three or four weeks ago
- 15:15Speaker 9: about put Hoffman in, put this one in, put that
- 15:17Speaker 9: one in, and see what they can do because Hoffman
- 15:20Speaker 9: is mean and and it's worked out really well, so
- 15:26Speaker 9: I'm excited about that. One thing I did want to
- 15:30Speaker 9: say is that I think that we should play some
- 15:36Speaker 9: of our players in the preseason and what some of
- 15:39Speaker 9: our starters and what I mean, not a long time,
- 15:41Speaker 9: maybe just one series per per game, just one series
- 15:45Speaker 9: so they can get a little bit acclimated. I don't
- 15:49Speaker 9: want anyone to get hurt either, but just one series,
- 15:51Speaker 9: just one one series. Boom, that's it. And my favorite
- 15:56Speaker 9: movie of Christmas movie is It's a Wonderful Life. And
- 16:03Speaker 9: all right, I'm gonna start.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Doing I'm doing a poll. We're gonna we're gonna have this,
- 16:07Speaker 1: uh for for the next week. It's a way oh okay,
- 16:10Speaker 1: And I've never even seen this movie, be honest with you.
- 16:13Speaker 9: So it's beautiful, man, Yeah, man, it's it's you gotta
- 16:17Speaker 9: check it out, man. I mean George Bairey, he gets
- 16:20Speaker 9: a chance to see the world without him and and
- 16:24Speaker 9: everything changes. He he makes a difference in everyone's life
- 16:27Speaker 9: in this little town. You gotta watch him, all right.
- 16:30Speaker 9: All right, So, and then my score of this week,
- 16:36Speaker 9: I think we can get Tampa Bay. Baker will throw
- 16:39Speaker 9: us one, or at least you can probably get one
- 16:42Speaker 9: from him. I want to say twenty five to sixteen Cowboys.
- 16:47Speaker 1: All Right, all right, Lester, thanks for the for the call.
- 16:50Speaker 1: You're right about Baker Mayfield. He'll throw you the ball.
- 16:53Speaker 1: He's uh, he's got he's got some stats that are
- 16:56Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hot and cold for him now.
- 16:59Speaker 1: He's having a good season. There's no doubt about it.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Look at his stats. He's in the top three or
- 17:04Speaker 1: four in everything this year for you know, just completions, yards, touchdowns, interceptions, fumbles.
- 17:13Speaker 1: So he he'll score some touchdowns, he'll also, you know,
- 17:18Speaker 1: turn the ball over some and he gets sacked quite
- 17:22Speaker 1: a bit. You know, he's in He's been sacked over
- 17:24Speaker 1: thirty three times, thirty three, thirty four times this year.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Fumbles the ball so and throw some picks. But he
- 17:30Speaker 1: also especially with Mike Evans back, you know, he Mike
- 17:33Speaker 1: Evans is h He's had ten straight seasons of one
- 17:38Speaker 1: thousand yards to begin his career. He's been in the
- 17:40Speaker 1: league ten years, sat a thousand yards every year. No
- 17:43Speaker 1: other receiver in the NFL history has ever done that.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Missed three games this year. Now he's sitting think of
- 17:47Speaker 1: like seven fifty with three games to go, So you know,
- 17:52Speaker 1: you know he's going for it and and rightfully so
- 17:54Speaker 1: their team is better when he's out there doing his thing.
- 17:58Speaker 1: I was gonna ask Chris, Chris, I was about to
- 18:00Speaker 1: ask you, what's your Christmas movie? And you you come
- 18:05Speaker 1: in with Christmas Story Home Alone? Die Hard? I see
- 18:11Speaker 1: die Hard. That's a whole You can one and two
- 18:14Speaker 1: on that one, buddy. The thing here's the thing about
- 18:18Speaker 1: And I've I've kind of gone back and forth on
- 18:20Speaker 1: on this, like his Diehard a Christmas movie. I've asked
- 18:23Speaker 1: the question, could this movie have been made in July.
- 18:27Speaker 1: And and no, you say no, because that's why he
- 18:33Speaker 1: was there, right, he was there because of Christmas and
- 18:37Speaker 1: and and all that. That's why he was back in
- 18:39Speaker 1: town and all that.
- 18:41Speaker 12: They shut down the airport because of a snowstorm not
- 18:44Speaker 12: happening in July.
- 18:47Speaker 1: That's the hard tooting about the original one. I said,
- 18:54Speaker 1: so yeah, I just I get it from the like
- 19:00Speaker 1: I get it, and I get it this top gun
- 19:02Speaker 1: of Volleyball movie. I mean like like there's you know different.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I'm just saying so different. It's it's not the reason
- 19:10Speaker 1: why Christmas is. It's not like you come to this
- 19:12Speaker 1: top gun of love story. Yeah, actually it is, Yeah,
- 19:15Speaker 1: because I love the of them. Yeah, yeah, it's awesome. Anyways. Anyway,
- 19:19Speaker 1: all right, we're getting off the rails here. Home Alone, great,
- 19:24Speaker 1: great movie, for sure, Home Alone, Diehard, wonderful life. I
- 19:28Speaker 1: like four Christmases because I love anything that been. Okay,
- 19:31Speaker 1: four Christmas is really good too, outstanding. All right, all right,
- 19:35Speaker 1: that's what happens when you're six and eight. You can
- 19:37Speaker 1: talk about nineteen eighty three, talk about Christmas, talk about
- 19:41Speaker 1: whatever we want. Let's go to Mike in Rockwall, Texas.
- 19:44Speaker 13: Mike, good morning. Psyched to be on with you, first
- 19:49Speaker 13: time caller.
- 19:52Speaker 6: Go go my thank you.
- 19:56Speaker 9: Two things.
- 19:57Speaker 13: Yeah, I want to touch on two things. I actually
- 19:59Speaker 13: heard you on the radio O this morning too, So
- 20:01Speaker 13: that was one of the things that I wanted to
- 20:02Speaker 13: talk about because I know there's a lot of different
- 20:05Speaker 13: things out there between Mike Fisher and ESPN everyone else
- 20:10Speaker 13: talking about the salary cap potential for the cap.
- 20:16Speaker 1: That's awesome, Go ahead, I know right.
- 20:20Speaker 13: He'd love that one with me. But so the research
- 20:25Speaker 13: I did with over the cap sport track and with
- 20:27Speaker 13: the NFLPA sites and stuff, they wouldn't probably do it
- 20:31Speaker 13: this way. But if they were, they've already got a
- 20:34Speaker 13: rollover of nineteen. They're going to have projected at twenty
- 20:38Speaker 13: two if the cap is what they think is going
- 20:40Speaker 13: to be next year, So they're sitting at forty one
- 20:42Speaker 13: before they do anything for next year. And if they
- 20:45Speaker 13: if they do convert Prescott and Lamb, they're picking up
- 20:48Speaker 13: another fifty seven. So right there, they're at ninety eight
- 20:52Speaker 13: no matter what they do with Parsons, and if they
- 20:54Speaker 13: happen to extend them, they send Stay sixteen. If they
- 20:57Speaker 13: trade him, they get twenty one and if they do nothing,
- 20:59Speaker 13: they're still at ninety eight minus their draft class. So
- 21:02Speaker 13: if they chose to just flipping those two switches and
- 21:06Speaker 13: extending Parsons, they'd have one hundred and thirteen to one
- 21:09Speaker 13: hundred and eighteen million minus their draft class and any
- 21:12Speaker 13: people they wanted to retain or injury settlement stuff from
- 21:15Speaker 13: this year. Now, I'm not saying they would do that.
- 21:17Speaker 13: We know that that's not likely what they're going to do.
- 21:20Speaker 13: They're not going to go be those kind of spenders,
- 21:23Speaker 13: but they do have the option to kick that down.
- 21:26Speaker 13: They did add four voidable years to both Prescott and
- 21:29Speaker 13: Lamb's contracts. Dak has already said in the off season
- 21:34Speaker 13: that he believes that if there's some right, big name
- 21:38Speaker 13: players out there, their contract is obviously structured in such
- 21:42Speaker 13: a way that they can have flexibility to convert and
- 21:45Speaker 13: do some things. Again, not saying they would, So that
- 21:49Speaker 13: was my take on that, And if I'm reading it wrong,
- 21:51Speaker 13: you know, I know you had said there was some
- 21:52Speaker 13: fallacy there and you thought it was more like seventy five.
- 21:55Speaker 13: Either way, that's still a lot more than they've had
- 21:58Speaker 13: to play with in you know, it's not like Jerry
- 22:01Speaker 13: and Steven make it sound that the cupboard is bare. Now,
- 22:04Speaker 13: I understand that means that the cover is going to
- 22:06Speaker 13: be bare two or three years down the road, or
- 22:09Speaker 13: we could have a really bad couple of years of
- 22:11Speaker 13: dead money when Dak and see they're done. But is
- 22:14Speaker 13: this the window you say, I've got four years now,
- 22:18Speaker 13: I'm going to have digs Lamb, Parsons, Prescott, I'm going
- 22:22Speaker 13: to have all these young players that I've got that
- 22:24Speaker 13: are up and coming in. I can pull in some vets,
- 22:27Speaker 13: some quality vets, and make a three or four year
- 22:30Speaker 13: run at this thing. And which leads me to the
- 22:34Speaker 13: second part of this, which is what I believe is
- 22:36Speaker 13: I don't think Mike McCarthy is the greatest coach ever.
- 22:39Speaker 13: They all have their pluses and minuses. But I am
- 22:42Speaker 13: a firm believer in if you've got a coach who
- 22:45Speaker 13: has shown he's at a minimum a better than average coach,
- 22:49Speaker 13: you keep him in the building, and you keep him
- 22:52Speaker 13: in the building not just because they're better than average,
- 22:54Speaker 13: and that you don't know what's coming in the door next,
- 22:57Speaker 13: could be great, could be not so great. Consistency is
- 23:02Speaker 13: one of the reasons why the Patriots did what they
- 23:04Speaker 13: did in the salary cap error. Keeping a system in
- 23:08Speaker 13: place that you can continue to build on, that your
- 23:11Speaker 13: players continue to know better and better and can play
- 23:14Speaker 13: faster and faster in when it's already a proven system
- 23:20Speaker 13: is something to me I think is underrated in the NFL.
- 23:24Speaker 13: That cohesion, the consistency. Mike McCarthy, for his career, now
- 23:29Speaker 13: has more wins than Bill Parcells, and he has averaged
- 23:33Speaker 13: for his career twenty six point seven points a game.
- 23:37Speaker 13: That's insane considering how many games he's coached in the NFL.
- 23:41Speaker 13: So you can't say his offense is antiquated and doesn't work.
- 23:45Speaker 13: We led the NFL two of the last three years
- 23:47Speaker 13: in points scored, So from my perspective, it doesn't make
- 23:52Speaker 13: sense to move on from him unless you have an
- 23:54Speaker 13: absolute clear slam dunk replacement. That would be someone you
- 23:58Speaker 13: could say is better. And he just went to South Carolina,
- 24:00Speaker 13: I mean North Carolina.
- 24:02Speaker 1: All right, all right, yeah, I mean like, yeah, you
- 24:05Speaker 1: make good points for sure. All right, Mike, thanks for
- 24:07Speaker 1: the call. You're right about the consistency. You know, I
- 24:12Speaker 1: think of the Chiefs very similar as I think of
- 24:15Speaker 1: the Patriots. Back then, they had a quarterback that was
- 24:20Speaker 1: just better than everybody else, and and and working hand
- 24:24Speaker 1: in hand with a coach that in a great tied end.
- 24:28Speaker 1: After that, they they didn't mind changing the pieces around,
- 24:32Speaker 1: and they could because it was a great system. They could,
- 24:36Speaker 1: you know, interchange some different guys in. And when the
- 24:39Speaker 1: Patriots did have a guy like Randy moss In, then
- 24:42Speaker 1: they set records and then they were even better. But
- 24:45Speaker 1: they didn't always need the top players. Same with the Chiefs.
- 24:48Speaker 1: You know that they're bringing guys in and and you know,
- 24:52Speaker 1: it seems like this is the end of their career
- 24:54Speaker 1: or it hasn't worked in certain places. Then they come
- 24:56Speaker 1: here and you know, kind of resurrect their their their
- 24:59Speaker 1: career again. That's why happens when you have that kind
- 25:01Speaker 1: of continuity. I don't think Dak is at that level,
- 25:03Speaker 1: and I don't think Dak and McCarthy are is either.
- 25:07Speaker 1: But but you're right about the continuity part. You're right
- 25:11Speaker 1: about that. We could go all day long about the
- 25:16Speaker 1: salary cap. I mean, I typically don't ever talk about
- 25:20Speaker 1: the cap so much because it is so fluid and
- 25:24Speaker 1: people see it differently. They see it like all those
- 25:28Speaker 1: numbers that you're looking at. I know that the guys
- 25:32Speaker 1: that work the cap for the Cowboys, they have a
- 25:34Speaker 1: different viewpoint on that on exactly what it is and
- 25:38Speaker 1: how much money is there and all that. But it's
- 25:42Speaker 1: easy to say that the Cowboys have a lot of
- 25:45Speaker 1: money next year, and you know in free agency or
- 25:48Speaker 1: you know on the cap, because they've got twenty five
- 25:51Speaker 1: guys that are unrestricted free agents this year, So there's
- 25:56Speaker 1: twenty five guys on this team that don't have contracts
- 25:58Speaker 1: next season. Well, and also if you look at like
- 26:01Speaker 1: I think, over the cap, if you're looking at it
- 26:03Speaker 1: at that and they do a nice job. I mean,
- 26:04Speaker 1: they do a good job there, but they're not perfect
- 26:08Speaker 1: because when you look at the list for next year,
- 26:11Speaker 1: they got forty one guys on their team. On the
- 26:14Speaker 1: Cowboys roster, they're counting forty one guys. Well, I mean
- 26:17Speaker 1: they're gonna need more than that. You obviously need sixty
- 26:20Speaker 1: five players. How many or how many of the Cowboys
- 26:22Speaker 1: have this year on their roster. It's not fifty, it's
- 26:24Speaker 1: not fifty three. Look at I mean, look at the
- 26:27Speaker 1: guys that are on ir You have sixty five, seventy
- 26:31Speaker 1: guys that you got to account for. You have to
- 26:32Speaker 1: account for that and and so there's these free agents
- 26:37Speaker 1: you're gonna have to sign them. And remember the minimum
- 26:40Speaker 1: is about eight sixty a year and most of these
- 26:42Speaker 1: guys are going to make more than that. So when
- 26:44Speaker 1: you think about about a million per you know average there,
- 26:48Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of you know, that's a lot
- 26:50Speaker 1: of money to account for. Yes, they they can go
- 26:53Speaker 1: and do certain things and move around. But remember those
- 26:56Speaker 1: guys that you're that you're trying to push out that
- 26:59Speaker 1: that can see that makes sense, but because that's the
- 27:02Speaker 1: way it was structured. But you know the other guys.
- 27:05Speaker 1: You know, you want to do that with Molly Cooker,
- 27:07Speaker 1: you want to do that with Terrence Steele, and you
- 27:09Speaker 1: want to do that with Diggs, you know, Donmin Wilson,
- 27:13Speaker 1: I don't know, you know. I mean, so they they
- 27:16Speaker 1: should be able to be somewhat creative and figure out
- 27:21Speaker 1: some things, but it's still going to be a challenge.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Let's go to break here real quick on Cowboys storyline

- 29:37Speaker 1: with that. Who you want my who? Who?
- 29:43Speaker 5: Well?
- 29:43Speaker 1: I want to go with the kicker. Nope, no, no, no,
- 29:47Speaker 1: look at the stats. Stats won't be there. Why because
- 29:50Speaker 1: we're trotting them out for seventy yard field goals and
- 29:53Speaker 1: no one's gonna remember that. They're just gonna look at
- 29:55Speaker 1: it and go. He hasn't been that good missed seventy yarder.
- 29:57Speaker 1: No one remembers the misses in the blocks, but that's true.
- 30:01Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I mean, look at others.
- 30:03Speaker 1: The other kickers have better The Tampa Bay kickers got
- 30:05Speaker 1: better stats. That's why I didn't like that kick. Don't
- 30:08Speaker 1: don't try this. It's to windy anyway, He's not gonna
- 30:10Speaker 1: make it all. All you're doing is putting the miss
- 30:13Speaker 1: on there for no reason. Yeah, he's he's gonna he
- 30:20Speaker 1: an average and return and Aubrey could make it. Honestly,
- 30:23Speaker 1: Aubrey was leading from the kick for kickers and he's
- 30:28Speaker 1: had a really good season. But uh, he probably will. Actually,
- 30:32Speaker 1: now I think about it, he probably will. You're probably
- 30:34Speaker 1: right there. Uh positions said that was wrong. Well, I
- 30:39Speaker 1: mean I can change my mind, you know, in like
- 30:42Speaker 1: two seconds. Yeah, that's what happens. It happens, all right,
- 30:47Speaker 1: those two. I like those two. They'll There'll be a
- 30:50Speaker 1: couple others CD CD maybe Yeah. And then don't ever
- 30:55Speaker 1: count out Micah Parsons, you know, I mean, he's a podcast.
- 31:00Speaker 1: He's getting hit. True. I want to see these defensive tackles.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Who's gonna make it?
- 31:04Speaker 9: There?
- 31:04Speaker 1: From the NFC defensive tackles. I know Os has been outstanding.
- 31:07Speaker 1: I don't know, may see one this weekend. Oh yeah,
- 31:10Speaker 1: I bet the bey. Yeah all right, he's pretty good.
- 31:12Speaker 1: All right? You know what? I can do this with Randy?
- 31:15Speaker 1: Let's sucked, Randy? Randy?
- 31:16Speaker 9: What's up?

- 31:31Speaker 1: screwge to the cable guy, Larry, Larry the cable in
- 31:36Speaker 1: like in like five seconds.
- 31:38Speaker 8: I can yell from trying to speak like England and
- 31:41Speaker 8: English right into Jamaican. For some reason, I can't. I'm
- 31:47Speaker 8: not very consistent with that.
- 31:49Speaker 1: I would I would love to hear like you read
- 31:52Speaker 1: towards the Night before Christmas or something like that. No no, no, no, no,
- 31:59Speaker 1: and straight up from nothing else. I don't need any
- 32:03Speaker 1: other nor your voice is is good enough as it is.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Let's go, man, what do you got?
- 32:10Speaker 3: All right?
- 32:10Speaker 8: All I want for Christmas? Well, first, hello to Ali
- 32:14Speaker 8: for always bringing the love favorite Christmas movie Vacation Christmas.
- 32:19Speaker 8: I don't know why there's even a debate with that.
- 32:21Speaker 8: There's so many there's not a personal live that hadn't
- 32:25Speaker 8: hollered out Shitar pul at least one. So there it is.
- 32:29Speaker 8: And then all right, so for Christmas, all I want
- 32:33Speaker 8: it's for Miss Charlotte to be listening to this, because
- 32:35Speaker 8: I think she would have a better influence with this,
- 32:39Speaker 8: because we at least try one time to have a
- 32:44Speaker 8: uniform change where our helmet is the royal blue that's
- 32:49Speaker 8: behind you on your storyline sign and either that flat
- 32:53Speaker 8: like the Vigan's helmet or that chrome blue like the
- 32:56Speaker 8: Line's helmet, and change it. Dude. I'm not trying to
- 33:01Speaker 8: say we're playing, but we're kind of playing. And I
- 33:04Speaker 8: am digging that helmet that the Lions have got and
- 33:06Speaker 8: I would really love it, and we would just throw
- 33:09Speaker 8: not a permanent thing, just one of those once every
- 33:12Speaker 8: once in a while things. But and the amount of
- 33:14Speaker 8: money that Joness could make off of the cell of
- 33:16Speaker 8: that jersey and helmet would be ridiculous.
- 33:19Speaker 10: I don't know why.
- 33:20Speaker 6: It's not a good idea, all right.
- 33:24Speaker 1: I mean, you know the Cowboys have they trick it
- 33:27Speaker 1: up a little bit.
- 33:29Speaker 8: Not really, they kind of. I mean I love the
- 33:32Speaker 8: old the white with blue and the star on the
- 33:35Speaker 8: I like all that. I am not dogging it, but man,
- 33:39Speaker 8: you what brought this on was last night when I
- 33:42Speaker 8: was getting ready for bed, they had the replay of
- 33:44Speaker 8: the last week Lines game on when they had that
- 33:46Speaker 8: helmet on, and I was like, I'm taken back by
- 33:49Speaker 8: that blue and I was thinking our blue in that
- 33:51Speaker 8: style with some sort of cool news. If any of
- 33:56Speaker 8: the callers agree with me, just say it, because I
- 33:59Speaker 8: think I'm not alone because everybody I talked to you
- 34:01Speaker 8: on my end would love the idea.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I think I think this team six
- 34:08Speaker 1: and eight, that's what I think. That We've talked about
- 34:10Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, We've talked about Christian movies, we talk about uniforms.
- 34:14Speaker 8: I say, the only thing you're missing right now is
- 34:17Speaker 8: the prize is right freaking tuba behind me the boma.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Chris can do that.
- 34:24Speaker 8: All right, there we go. I have a feeling you
- 34:30Speaker 8: didn't like that idea, but okay, alright, there you go.
- 34:35Speaker 8: I love you guys anyway. I want you to have
- 34:37Speaker 8: a merry Christmas, Happy New Year. I don't talk to
- 34:40Speaker 8: you again, all right, and UH love everybody out there
- 34:42Speaker 8: in the radio world.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Same same to you, Randy, Thank you for the call.
- 34:48Speaker 1: I think they do switch up the uniforms to the
- 34:51Speaker 1: point of being a team that wants to be traditional
- 34:55Speaker 1: at the same time they want to keep the tradition.
- 34:58Speaker 1: But you know, can you you imagine, I mean back
- 35:00Speaker 1: in the day cowboys are ever wearing blue at home?
- 35:03Speaker 1: I mean they do what they wear it, they change
- 35:07Speaker 1: it a little bit. You'll probably see more of that.
- 35:10Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Anthony and Miami.

- 38:18Speaker 1: has been holding Rob. What's up man?
- 38:21Speaker 6: Hey?
- 38:21Speaker 3: Nick?
- 38:22Speaker 1: How you doing good? How are you got any hot
- 38:24Speaker 1: takes on any of this Pro Bowl uniform Christmas movie
- 38:29Speaker 1: stuff that we're talking about everything but the Bucks game.
- 38:32Speaker 5: Uh, die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Why why? I mean, I'm on the fence here.
- 38:40Speaker 5: I'm on the fence because, first of all, they always
- 38:42Speaker 5: play it around Christmas.
- 38:44Speaker 15: I just said the same thing, Rob, You did not
- 38:47Speaker 15: hear me in the break, I said the same thing.
- 38:49Speaker 1: If that's the case, it's a Groundhog's Day movie because
- 38:51Speaker 1: they play it all the time, which they should because
- 38:53Speaker 1: it's a classic. I need something better than that.
- 38:56Speaker 5: Just think it's it's not a traditional Christmas movie, but
- 38:58Speaker 5: I just think over the years, you know, and it
- 39:02Speaker 5: could be a parody, but it's a Christmas movie. When
- 39:05Speaker 5: he rips the Christmas tape off the back of his
- 39:07Speaker 5: shoulder to shoot the guy at the end, I mean,
- 39:09Speaker 5: it's it's it's a Christmas Now. It may not be
- 39:11Speaker 5: my favorite. I think Elf is my favorite christ.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Really shocker, this is the biggest shock of the entire
- 39:18Speaker 1: day is that Rob from Vegas tells me that Elf
- 39:22Speaker 1: is his favorite movie.
- 39:24Speaker 2: I love this also.
- 39:26Speaker 9: It's just funny.
- 39:27Speaker 5: It's that it's the type of movie when that's on
- 39:30Speaker 5: you just watch it. And I like Scrooge too, with
- 39:33Speaker 5: Bill Murray.
- 39:33Speaker 13: That's very good. Now.
- 39:34Speaker 1: That what I'm not surprised about. Okay, because ELF's you
- 39:39Speaker 1: have been. You have been the scrooge of this storyline
- 39:42Speaker 1: every now and again. But the fact I really hope
- 39:47Speaker 1: in honor of Elf, I really hope that when you
- 39:49Speaker 1: answer the phone, you say, this is Rob, what's your
- 39:52Speaker 1: favorite color? I hope you say that. Do you ever
- 39:54Speaker 1: do that? Do you just put like syrup like all
- 39:56Speaker 1: over your food? This is all over your pasta?
- 40:00Speaker 5: No, definitely, not all past I haven't tried that, but
- 40:03Speaker 5: I do, like I do love chicken and waffles though,
- 40:05Speaker 5: I do.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Love that nice nice Hey, and you're you're from New York,
- 40:09Speaker 1: right I am? Yeah? So I mean I know this,
- 40:12Speaker 1: when people get hit by a cab, they don't just
- 40:14Speaker 1: pop up and go out, you know, like yeah movie.
- 40:21Speaker 5: I had to get used to that when I moved
- 40:23Speaker 5: to Vegas. That in New York, when you cross the street,
- 40:28Speaker 5: the cause don't stop. I don't. They don't care if
- 40:30Speaker 5: you're in a crosswalk or not. And in Vegas you
- 40:33Speaker 5: have to stop or in the crosswalk. And when I
- 40:36Speaker 5: first got here, I was I didn't understand that rule.
- 40:39Speaker 1: I was like, no, that's nice. All right, man, what
- 40:43Speaker 1: do you got. Let's talk a little bit of cowboys
- 40:45Speaker 1: or whatever you want.
- 40:45Speaker 5: I want to give a shout out to the I
- 40:47Speaker 5: think it was Mike the first time call. I thought
- 40:49Speaker 5: that was a great call.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:51Speaker 6: Uh.
- 40:52Speaker 5: Talking about the salary cap, and like I said, the
- 40:55Speaker 5: money is available, will they spend it? I don't know
- 41:00Speaker 5: if you go by past years, no, but I think
- 41:04Speaker 5: I think this year they'll spend some because there's just
- 41:07Speaker 5: too much of it. And I and I and he's
- 41:10Speaker 5: absolutely right. We've talked about this. You have a four
- 41:13Speaker 5: year window with this group, with the you know, Dak
- 41:18Speaker 5: CD and I'll throw Micah in there. So if you're
- 41:22Speaker 5: not going to go for surrounding those guys, then I
- 41:24Speaker 5: don't know why coaching. You know, I look at the
- 41:29Speaker 5: league and you either gain an edge with players or coaches,
- 41:35Speaker 5: and if you combine them, you win championships, like with
- 41:39Speaker 5: Kansas City what we talked about with the Patriots. And
- 41:43Speaker 5: that's why I want to make a coaching change, Not
- 41:48Speaker 5: because Mike McCarthy isn't good. I think once you get
- 41:52Speaker 5: to this level, I think they're all good. But because
- 41:55Speaker 5: I already know that I'm probably not going to have
- 41:58Speaker 5: an edge with players because my my owner's not gonna
- 42:03Speaker 5: go break the bank like a Philadelphia in Detroit, and
- 42:05Speaker 5: now you're going to have to contend with those teams
- 42:08Speaker 5: for years, you know two. Then give me the best
- 42:12Speaker 5: coach that could give me an edge. Give me somebody
- 42:14Speaker 5: that is either a great play caller. Yeah, our offense
- 42:18Speaker 5: has been good, but once we get to the playoffs,
- 42:22Speaker 5: it hasn't been good.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:24Speaker 5: I think the way it's designed, there's no Dak Prescott
- 42:28Speaker 5: is not good enough to throw the ball as much
- 42:30Speaker 5: as he does. Josh Allen is, Joe Burrow is, obviously
- 42:34Speaker 5: Patrick mahomes is. Don't treat him like that. He's not that.
- 42:39Speaker 5: So to me, that's the only reason why I want
- 42:41Speaker 5: a coaching change. Give me up a play call like
- 42:44Speaker 5: maybe a Ben Johnson. Now there's always a risk when
- 42:48Speaker 5: you know people say, well, how do you know he's
- 42:49Speaker 5: going to be better?
- 42:50Speaker 6: You don't know.
- 42:51Speaker 5: I don't know, But it's I think we're kind of
- 42:54Speaker 5: stuck at where we are with Mike McCarthy. You know,
- 42:58Speaker 5: five years sample Side says showed me he'll he'll beat
- 43:02Speaker 5: the bad teams allah like we're doing this year. But
- 43:06Speaker 5: he struggles against good teams and good teams with good coaches.
- 43:10Speaker 5: I don't think he's going to beat San Francisco. I
- 43:13Speaker 5: could be wrong, but we just struggle against good teams.
- 43:17Speaker 5: That usually the reason why they're good too is they
- 43:19Speaker 5: have good coaching. So just bring give me a coach
- 43:23Speaker 5: that could give me some kind of advantage since I
- 43:26Speaker 5: probably won't have it on the field. Everybody talks about
- 43:29Speaker 5: the talent. The Cowboys got so much talent, No they don't.
- 43:32Speaker 5: They have certain positions. We have the top guys, but
- 43:39Speaker 5: after that we do not. You know, you look at
- 43:41Speaker 5: the seat, he's average. Linebackers average. Now, obviously overshown was
- 43:50Speaker 5: an up and comer, but now you know he's a
- 43:53Speaker 5: running back average, second wide receiver, tight end average. So
- 44:00Speaker 5: you know that's just my feeling. Yeah, that's the only
- 44:02Speaker 5: reason why I want to coach Chase. Nothing against Michael Now.
- 44:06Speaker 5: I told you the other day, I think he's going
- 44:07Speaker 5: to be back unless they lose all three, which is possibility.
- 44:11Speaker 5: I think if they lose the next three, I don't
- 44:12Speaker 5: think he can. But I think if he wins against
- 44:15Speaker 5: either Philly or Tampa, I see him coming back on
- 44:20Speaker 5: a three year deal.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so all right, Rob, appreciate that good
- 44:24Speaker 1: good stuff.
- 44:25Speaker 5: Now, Now, did you see Elf and Scrooge? You saw
- 44:29Speaker 5: those movies, right.
- 44:30Speaker 1: I haven't seen again. I haven't seen Elf today, but
- 44:33Speaker 1: I've seen Elf. I mean, and I say, Elf is
- 44:36Speaker 1: ninety nine a great movie. What y'all don't probably know
- 44:40Speaker 1: about me is I I absolutely despise chewing gum with
- 44:46Speaker 1: a passion. It makes me want to throw up. And
- 44:48Speaker 1: so when he when he partakes in the gum that's
- 44:55Speaker 1: that he sees.
- 44:56Speaker 9: On the table.
- 44:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like that. I don't. I don't like
- 44:59Speaker 1: that at all. I'd rather watch a bad acl injury
- 45:02Speaker 1: than watch that, So I'm sorry anyways. So that's but
- 45:05Speaker 1: other than that, I love it. I love the movie.
- 45:07Speaker 1: And I my my new wish is to see when
- 45:10Speaker 1: I meet you, Rob, I want you to be wearing
- 45:12Speaker 1: that Elf costume. That would be the greatest thing ever.
- 45:16Speaker 1: All Right, all right, you know what, thanks, thanks for
- 45:20Speaker 1: the call. We got to keep it rolling. But I'll
- 45:22Speaker 1: say this off there, Rob. This is why this is
- 45:25Speaker 1: why Rob's the captain, because think about it, Like what
- 45:27Speaker 1: he just said, there's two movies that he loved. Elf.
- 45:31Speaker 16: I mean, Buddy, the Elf, Come on and Scrooge, Like,
- 45:36Speaker 16: that's the way, that's the way it is, that's the way.
- 45:38Speaker 16: What that's that it's the epitome of being a cowboy fan.
- 45:42Speaker 16: Sometimes it's Buddy the Elf, sometimes it's Scrooge. So that's
- 45:46Speaker 16: what keeping it real is. Sometimes that's that's what it is.
- 45:48Speaker 16: So the fact that those are your two favorite movies,
- 45:50Speaker 16: it's not really a surprise.
- 45:52Speaker 1: I love that, love that he says that, All right,
- 45:54Speaker 1: do I have another caller?
- 45:55Speaker 3: I do?
- 45:55Speaker 1: Ronnie in Jersey Ronnie. Sorry, man, I even hold a
- 46:00Speaker 1: little bit.
- 46:00Speaker 6: No, no, no, listen everything he said. I agreed one
- 46:04Speaker 6: one hundred percent of the movies. Elf is definitely one
- 46:07Speaker 6: of my favorites. We're getting into movies, and the other
- 46:12Speaker 6: one would be It's a Wonderful Life. Those are my two.
- 46:15Speaker 6: Those two movies I could watch all day, every day
- 46:19Speaker 6: during this season, even even Halloween or whatever. I could
- 46:24Speaker 6: watch those movies. I love those two movies. But to
- 46:29Speaker 6: what Rob would say, Nick, I mean, he basically took
- 46:33Speaker 6: every little thing I wanted to say and just said it.
- 46:36Speaker 6: So I don't have much because I agreed with everything
- 46:40Speaker 6: he said about the coaching, about the team, the talent,
- 46:45Speaker 6: and the team you know what nick where you know,
- 46:48Speaker 6: it's the Cowboys. So we're always considered, we're viewed as,
- 46:54Speaker 6: you know, the number one team in the country, in
- 46:58Speaker 6: America everywhere. So so we're we're always we have those
- 47:03Speaker 6: eyes or you guys have the eyes all the eyeballs
- 47:07Speaker 6: on you. You know what I'm saying. So so yeah,
- 47:09Speaker 6: so when they draft whoever, oh yeah, this guy, you
- 47:12Speaker 6: know whatever, this guy could be this and we listened
- 47:14Speaker 6: to Jerry the press conference and everything, so we kind
- 47:17Speaker 6: of believe part of hey, yeah we got him at
- 47:20Speaker 6: twenty seven, but he was actually our top two left
- 47:24Speaker 6: tackle or whatever, and we kind of like fall for
- 47:26Speaker 6: it a little bit. But but yeah, I agree with him.
- 47:29Speaker 6: With the talent, it's it's not there, like, yeah, we
- 47:32Speaker 6: have talented players at certain positions, but it's not as
- 47:36Speaker 6: loaded as we were made to believe within the past
- 47:39Speaker 6: few years. And you can't tell me because we lost
- 47:42Speaker 6: center that we didn't want, you know, defense, one of
- 47:46Speaker 6: those defensive ends I definitely liked.
- 47:48Speaker 1: Not Armstrong, Yeah, Fowler, yes, yeah.
- 47:53Speaker 6: Because of his speed because he was different from the
- 47:55Speaker 6: other guys.
- 47:56Speaker 1: So you know, but here's the thing, Dante foul Uh,
- 48:01Speaker 1: what do you get last year five five sacks, five
- 48:03Speaker 1: and a.
- 48:03Speaker 6: Half six Nick, he was on a votation that we
- 48:06Speaker 6: already used them, you know what I'm saying, And that
- 48:09Speaker 6: was I get that to how this guy was using him.
- 48:12Speaker 1: But but hold on, hold on, Ronnie, hold on. He
- 48:14Speaker 1: got about five sacks and he was he was playing
- 48:17Speaker 1: opposite of Micah and all that kind of benefiting benefiting
- 48:20Speaker 1: from that. My point is is, I think there's a
- 48:24Speaker 1: lot of those guys. And and Carl Lawson has five
- 48:27Speaker 1: sacks this year. Carl Lawson is the new Dante Fowler,
- 48:31Speaker 1: and that just shows the value that Micah brings you.
- 48:35Speaker 1: Micah is making these other guys better. Now, Dante Fowler's
- 48:38Speaker 1: had a nice season with Washington as well, so he
- 48:42Speaker 1: might be a little bit better than Lawson. But I
- 48:44Speaker 1: think they benefit from having this guy here. So I
- 48:47Speaker 1: think the next guy, if it's Sam Williams or another veteran,
- 48:51Speaker 1: can benefit from from that. But you just can't pay
- 48:54Speaker 1: those guys all the time. You can't just say we're
- 48:56Speaker 1: going to pay you for what you've done if you
- 48:58Speaker 1: believe that it's really generated because of mic.
- 49:01Speaker 6: No I know, and and and part of the reason
- 49:04Speaker 6: we lost some of that death is because we lost
- 49:07Speaker 6: some of the players to induce this year or what
- 49:10Speaker 6: was his second round pick defensive end that he sees
- 49:13Speaker 6: back playing, and and and and you just mentioned him.
- 49:18Speaker 6: I forgot it just slipped my mind. He's out for
- 49:21Speaker 6: the year with the Yeah, we lost him. I thought
- 49:25Speaker 6: he was going to be amazing for some reason. I
- 49:27Speaker 6: thought he was going to be really good this year.
- 49:29Speaker 6: If we were got more opportunities now with under a
- 49:32Speaker 6: different system, and if they go to a three four
- 49:35Speaker 6: with these guys because we have pass rushers. Sam Williams
- 49:41Speaker 6: even it just sucks that we lost over shown for
