  Speaker 4: let's start with another guy on the phone that that's
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: a that's so much a regular he probably would love
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: to be here too. With Brian in Kansas City's First Brian,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: what's up morning? How are you walk?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I can't believe all we want to get in now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Well, that's that's not see, there's no competition to get
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: in today. Everybody's out there. There's nobody calling.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well call back, I guess.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: And yeah, no kid, no, it's share to hear that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: It's the show difference. I mean, this is the first
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: time we've actually been on a Monday. We had these
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Tuesday Thursdays. Now we're on Monday. So it's one of
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: those things that you guys have to adapt to the
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: to the different times. I don't doubt that that will happen.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, plus you know, five or six of the
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: people that call in every week being out there with
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: you in person, that probably makes a.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Difference, right, for sure, for sure, so's time let's talk.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I was just thinking thinking through obviously
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: this happened after your last show, all the hubbub and everything,
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: and I don't really get upset about the contract stuff
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: anymore because it's just I've seen so many of them, right,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: you know, the I'm an older guy. I can remember
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Clinton Merchison famously duck and Roger stallback. And the old
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: story was Roger had to climb out onto the window
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: to get his attention. You know, I don't know that
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: that ever happened, but that was a story that somebody wrote,
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: you know at one time, you know, you think about Yeah,
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: just a crazy story, right, he had to climb around,
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: He climbed out onto the window because he kept ducking him.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah he wouldn't, you know, just kind of and then
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: you know, take back in after week two in ninety three,
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Charles Haley just losing it in the locker room, supposedly
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: saying we can't win with a blank and rookie running back.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: You know that contract, you know, with that contract stand off,
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: and I guess I just don't worry about it until
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: something actually happened. You know, from what everybody said, the
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: companies have no intention of trading him. I don't know
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: any of the parties involved. I don't know whether that
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: was bluster, you know, as a negotiating point, or that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: how he really feels.
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: And you know that he really doesn't.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Want to be there. And obviously there's a ton of
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: people have pointed out somebody else on the Cleveland Browns
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: just did this a couple of months ago, said I
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: don't want to play here anymore. I want out of here.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: You guys trade me and then find the deal, you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: a month later or whatever it was. So I figured
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I just thought it back in your lap, give me
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: your your whatever, your favorite contract negotiations stand off story
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: that you could remember in your time there, that that
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: you got to see kind of more up close and
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: personal than the rest of us do.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And I a batman, you're to talk to you.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I mean favorite contract stand I mean it's like what's
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: your favorite trip to the doctor. I mean, like, I
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: don't know, they're not fun. I mean, I know this
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: is fun, but I get it. I mean I it's
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: probably I think a better way to say it is
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: what's the most interesting, and it's probably this one. I mean, like,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I can't there's been nothing like this when you think
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: of On one hand, it sounds worse than it's ever
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: been with anyone else, because he is vocal, he's here,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: he's done an interview, and then he has his own
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: platform to talk and do what he did on Friday.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: On the other hand, he's here. You what kind of
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: stances he really taking. He's showing he's not gonna get
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: fined for missing practice. You think he's gonna miss a game. No,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: no one thinks that. So on one hand, it sounds
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: as worse as it's ever been because I mean, Miles
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Garrett did that in theory. He didn't. He didn't do
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: it the same way. He certainly didn't write like a
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: three chapter book on Twitter, you know. So, so I
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: say all that like this was this has been the
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: most interesting because it's it's things that are actually happening
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: in a hold in situation. Do I think that it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: not going to get resolved, No, I I I I
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: think it will. I'm sorry, let me say that the
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: right way. I think it will be resolved for sure.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: All right, uh but when before the season maybe out here,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: maybe when we get back. That's what happened with CD
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: when they got back. That's kind of what I would
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: would would guess. All right, let's go to Armando in
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Mexico City. Armando, how are you doing? Well? It's nice.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's uh cool when it needs to be cool.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: It's kind of hot when it needs to be hot.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit of both. But you know, we're
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: not complaining about the heat. But it's fun. It's good weather,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: good weather out here. Practice goe go ahead, go ahead,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: go ahead.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: Yes, I see some of the gangs there for the
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: for the practice and to meet you write some great
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: stuff from the storyline team.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, oh, yeah, it's been it's been cool that
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: last night Chris and I got a chance to chat
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: with him and and and uh hang out for a
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: little while and tell some stories and talk bad about
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: all the people that that weren't here, you know, all
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the other callers and uh no, but it was it
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: was it was cool. It was it was good to
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: put a face with a voice, you know.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: So yeah, so if and when there's again a cargo
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: in Mexico City. I'll take you and Chris to get
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: some nice tackles, real tackles, not that weird stuff you Texas.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, it would like real stuff. Yeah, oh man, we'll
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: be up for that because we like to eat, so
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that would be that would be cool. And uh, I
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: think there was a It sounds like that, you know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: maybe that maybe next year that that could happen.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: So no, So, Nick, who's yours?
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: From this training timp?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: There's always one?
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there is who's yours? I mean, I mean, I
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: know you're not here watching practice, but from the stuff
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: that you're reading and all that, who who? Who stands
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: out to you that you're intrigued about? That that I
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: guess others have been intrigued about.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: Well from the firing from.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: The welsha uh oh, I don't think we lost Armando
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: here for the call? Why don't we? He's are you there? Armando? Now?
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: He's off? Okay, all right, Well is in christ you
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: get any other caller on the line? All right? Sorry, Armando?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: If hopefully you can call back, I'll try and I'll
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: answer that question as well. For me, the guy that
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I'm really excited, I'm intered interested in who's running the football?
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, who the starting running back is going to be,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: who the backup running back is going to be? And
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: something's got to give here. And I just have this
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: sneaky suspicion that Phil Moff is going to do enough
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: to be around. You know, Jayden Blue is going to
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: be here, Javonte Williams, probably Miles Sanders. They haven't cut
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Deuce in two years. I mean, are they gonna really
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: part ways with him? So I'm interested in all the
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: running backs for sure, but Phil Moff is the one
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I just keep coming back to you because I just
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: think now it was Brevin span Ford and it still
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: is because he got hurt. He's gonna come back. Brevn.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Span Ford is the one I really want to keep
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: an eye on. So that's that's my Those are like
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: my kind of pet cats, if you will. I think
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: that they they've got something to it. All Right, let's
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: go to Richard and Allen Texas. I'll go on good morning,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: first time caller.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: First pound caller. But I've been listening to you guys
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: for a long time. I wanted to tell you something.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: So in like eight oh nine, you had a fantasy
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: football league that you did with the listeners, and I.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Was on that with you and dere if you to
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: tell Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I finished last in
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: that one. I didn't do so hard. Yeah, it's a
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: long time ago. Yeah yeah. How'd you do in that league?
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Did you do? Did you? Did you do well? I
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: didn't I got very yeah. Yeah.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: You know, if there's all if there, if there's no
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: skin in the game, you know, for when it comes
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: to fantasy, I mean I'm I'm the guy that might
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: might you know, start with an empty guy on the
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: roster or something like that. Now, if there's something to
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: be one at the end, believe me, I'm I'm at
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: the you know, I'm twelve oh one. I'm getting guys
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: on on Wednesday night off the waiver wire. But if not,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, so whatever, Yeah, all right, well
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: what do you what do you got for us?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about, you know, I honestly, you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I've been a Cowboys fan like everyone else, the biggest
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Cowboys fan forever, holding that way. But I feel change, right,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like Shoddy is bringing change, yep. And the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: contract talk is kind of just weighing it down. So
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I'm working my way around that because we all know
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: it's just negotiations. He ain't going nowhere, But I just
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: want to say that, man, for the first time in
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: a long time, I feel like something's going to be different.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: Does that equates to a Super Bowl?
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I hope so. I mean, I'm a fan that's going
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to be positive no matter what.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: But I do feel the change.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: And I was wondering, do you guys out there feel
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that way? Do you feel like they we're going to
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: run this motion offense where you know, I heard someone
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: where it was like, you know, all the plays had
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: some kind of motion and we're doing different things on
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: offense and the defense is going to be different.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: What do you see?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is the time of year where
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: you're going to you feel that kind of stuff, you
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, It's just you got a feeling.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: My friend Chris, one of my best friends, would always say,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: you like, I have a feeling, Well, you know, it
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: could be gas. You know, that could be a feel,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: or it could be it could be this, it could
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: be what you're seeing. And I agree with it does
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: seem like there's some there's more to this. There does
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: seem like this is going to equate to success. Maybe
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: maybe that's just first year coach stuff. We'll find out,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: that's the thing. We're about to find out sooner than later.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: But I think the foundation was still good. I mean, like,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: I don't think you go twelve and five, twelve and five,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: twelve and five and then all of a sudden you
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: just suck. I Now, in this league, parody hits, and
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: it hits quick. But I still think there's enough great
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: players on this team that that they can be good.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: They have to kind of tweak some things, and sometimes
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: it is smaller little tweaks. Do I think it's gonna happen? Yeah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: I mean I think this is good. This is going
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: to be a very competitive team, but there's gonna be
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: so many tough challenges that it's gonna come down to
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the little things. Do they get the turnover, do they
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: make the field goal? Did they get that that fourth
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: down stop? And they really needed to get off the field.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: So these games are are are gonna be so tight,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: and you know, are they good enough to uh to
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: you know, win those close ones. That's what's gonna come
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: down to. So all right, yeah, yeah, what about.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: You want to make one call up, go on call
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: out real quick. I think we're going to go into
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Philly Week one, punch them in the mouth, run the ball,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: playing tough defense, stopping the run, and win by a go.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I really feel that way.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I think you know that would set the tone
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: for everything. Thank thank you for the call. I mean,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: you do that, then you know you got everybody's attention now.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: But that being said, uh, and I know you know
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: that that's what they want to do. They want to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: run the football, they want to be aggressive, and that's
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: how you're going to have to do it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Philly's got a tough defensive line. But but you certainly
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: can't be scared of it. And uh and so I
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: think if they if they did that and play even
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: win or lose, whatever, but show that what type of
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: team that they're going to have. But like I always say,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: in week two is so important as well, because you
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: got it. You got to show that. Yeah, all the
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: emotions and the Thursday night and trying to spoil the
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: party and all this kind of stuff. But now when
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: it's regular week again. Now you have to come back
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the regular week and do this in seven days or
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: in this case would be ten days. But whatever, go
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: back in, what happens in week two, what happens in
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: week three, start to stack some wins together. And so
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: that's that's what's going to be so important for this
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: team to be able to do that. Establish something early, uh,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: and show that there's change, but then build off of
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: it as well. All right, let's go John, he's in Delaware, John,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: what's up, Bud?
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: So next year?
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: I do like, I really like, because I feel like.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Doing for.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: So they do, uh, not really, I mean unless somebody
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: just would call in and say, I mean, call him
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: and say we would offer the moon and then to
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: something where you'd have to be you know, you'd be
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: silly not to entertain it. But I don't think that's
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: what they want to do. I think that that they
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: view him as a player that can change the game,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: wreck the game. And you can draft those guys and
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: and the first second pick, first pick overall, and he's
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: not going to necessarily hit the way Michah Parsons has.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: So you know these guys, these guys are are difference makers,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: and they don't come around very often. And then you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: you just gotta get him signed. And there's no different
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: than some of these other guys that that that have
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: that have happened. And and you know, I just I
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: disagree with you when you say that that that Jerry
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and Steven are kind of dragging down the team by
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: doing that. And I mean, do you don't know what
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: he's asking for? You don't. And the thing is is
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: that Micah isn't trying to break the record here for
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: like thirty minutes. He's not trying to be the highest
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: paid no quarterback for just a week or two. He's
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: putting it out there so far that that he's going
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: to be the standard and and and he doesn't want
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: to just be jumped by the next guy, and that's
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: usually the way it works. But but he's that's what
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: they're asking for so much right now. They're just trying
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: to get getting meet in the middle. And they will
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: they always.
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: Move, yeah, you know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And and it's no different. I mean Zach Martin,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I mean Jack Martin got shots thrown at him, So
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: did c D, so did Zeke. You know, they all
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: they all do and this is this is really no
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: no different. But but you know the difference is is
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Mike is taking shots back or at least he's he's
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: not being quiet about it. But I still think it's
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: all a game. It's all about leverage, and they'll they'll
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: get done. All right, John, thank you for the call.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Trying to step his game up to be on the
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: all storyline team. I love it. Let's go to Rick
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: in Massachusetts. Rick, what's up?
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Man? Then? Probably doing good?
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: What's up with you? It's been good, it's been it's
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: been good. It doesn't nothing feels like the weekend. You know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: you have your work on Saturdays, you're off sometimes on
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: a Wednesday. I mean, they all there's there's just twenty
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: twenty one, twenty five days together, just just all together.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: So it's funny when you say that. I don't even
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: know what day it is. Sometimes it is Monday. I know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: if you got to.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Meet somewhere up, I willed to be out there, but my.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Plans all right, well, yeah, it's yeah. It was a
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: good time and and I have a feeling this is
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: one of those things where it starts out this year
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: the good, good number, good solid group, and then it's
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: just gonna it's just gonna build and build and build
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: it hopefully. If so, that would be awesome it'd be
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: uh an annual thing. We're getting more people than that, didn't.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: You know who knows. I mean maybe there's people in
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: the area right now that are like, oh, I'm coming
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: out and if you're if if you're out and you
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: listen to the show and you want to kind of
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: uh be involved with the group, I bet you can
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: certainly get in there as well.
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: So all right, Uh yeah, any uh update on any
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: injuries the people coming back and you know, the ones
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: that are slightly injured or whatever.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I can't sit here and tell you I've got a
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: ton of injury updates for you today.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: That is one thing when you're coming off of a
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: day off, you know, that's what really important to listen
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: to to Shoddy here today here in a few minutes, uh,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: because he'll he'll have some of those you know. The
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: one that kind of watches is Tyler Smith. I don't
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: think they're too concerned with him, uh with the knee injury.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Uh kind of been in and out of the lineup some.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: But but again, this is the time of year to
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: keep you know, your your best players and to and
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: to keep them healthy. So I you know, he's one
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: that I wouldn't worry about. You know, Terrence Steel did
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: come back from an ankle injury. You're gonna see us,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Scoonmaker span Ford. He'll he'll be rehabbing. He's out of
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: the of the boot that I saw he was. He
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: might be in and out of the boot, but he'll
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: be a few weeks. But uh, you know, for the
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: most part, there's not a lot of major changes when
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: it comes to injuries. All Right, thanks a lot, appreciate

  Speaker 4: Let's go to.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Larry.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: He's in Midland, Texas. Larry, what's up? Hanging up?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: And how are you doing?
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I'm good? Is this first time called?
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: No? No?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: This is my second time?
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, second time caller. That's all right. I still get
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: to here we go. How you doing well?
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: I'm doing good?
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: How are you doing great? Good?
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: The question I have for you is, we haven't heard
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: a whole lot about the safety position. So how's the
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: safety position looking?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: You know, it's probably a good thing, you know, I
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: mean you're not hearing a lot from it. I mean
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: I think it's it's going well. I mean, Malie Hooker
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: has had a pretty nice camp. Uh, he's been very
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: physical around the ball a lot. Don and Wilson seems
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: to be flying around doing doing some nice things. So
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: you know, likely any position, it's it's still it's one
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: that you can only kind of judge so much. Awareness
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: is the is the really big thing when it comes
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: to safety. And you know, you've got guys that have
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: been around, I mean think about I mean the backups
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: at safety are guys that still play a lot, you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I mean Marquis Bell and one Yer Thomas. I mean,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I think Elijah Clark has done a pretty nice job
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: as well as as a rookie. So you know, these
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a very competitive battle.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Awesome. Well, another thing that I'd like to bring up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: and this is this is my opinion. Okay, this is
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: only an opinion, but my opinion of the Michael Parsons
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: deal is I think that the fans are making too
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: much of it and blowing it up too big. I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: don't think that the players on the field are thinking
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: that much of it. They have what they have to
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: worry about, and uh, I think we need to stop
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: worrying about it, and I think we just need to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: basically look at the team. What is happening with the team,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: not so much of Oh, Micah should do this and
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Jerry Jones should do this. Let them have their their
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: little piff if if that's what you want to call it,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: or if it's not even that, that's what Jerry seems
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to think it is. I think Micah's building it up,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: blowing up into a fit, thinking that he can get
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: them to move faster on their money issues and things
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: like that. So that's just kind of some of my
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: opinion of the whole deal. I would like to hear
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: more about football than I worried about Micah being on
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the sidelines and a hoodie.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, well you know that's that's that's part of
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: the of the game. I mean, that's what happens. Thank
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: you for the call. Larry, And you know, I don't
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: think the players are as worried about it as you
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: might think. I mean, yeah, are they posting about it,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: and some on social media, okay, But if they're not
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: post about that, they're posted about something else. I mean,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: does that mean they're not focused? I mean, I don't
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: think so. I think I don't think it's affecting the
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: team that much. I think it's getting blown up a
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: lot because of some of the things being said. Jerry's
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: saying stuff, Mike is saying stuff. And this team, you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: the national media covers the Cowboys, that's what they do.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: This is he's a star player, and he's a star
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: you know figure, and he's he's here and he's not practicing.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: It's different. It's just a unique situation. And I think
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: that it's like who's gonna blink on this one? And
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: and they're negotiating every day. Are they talking to each
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: other all the time? Is Jerry talking to the agent?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Is Steven talking to the agent on the you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: like on the phone. I don't know, but they're negotiating.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: They are talking to each other. It may not be
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: on the phone or may not be in a text message.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: They are definitely talking to each other through the media,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: and that's what kind of makes this kind of an
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: interesting thing. You act like the media is just the one.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, Jerry walked right over to the cameras, and
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Micah's sent it out on social media, so it's not
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: like they're the ones still doing it. Jerry walked. I mean,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Micah's is the one that said I want to be traded,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: and Jerry the very next day walked right in to
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: the where all the cameras are and all the reporters
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: and said, what do you want to talk about? So
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: who's blowing it up here? I just think it's a
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: situation where it's being blown up. It's okay, all right,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: let's go to Zach in Atlanta.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: What's up? Nick in Frisco? By way of Oxnard. I'm
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: pitching it up every time, all right, all right, I
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: don't know why it's phrasing it Oxnard by way of Fisco,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Frisco by Oxneard. You're the journalist, you.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Got the degree.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: So man, I want to make a statement. I'd like
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: to be traded from the fandom of the Cowboys. Can
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: we just I just want a quiet team that goes
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to work and you know it isn't in the headlines.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: But I've done this before as far as you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: declaring I'm done and fed up and I'm back every season.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I'm on the line with you, man.
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: What are we doing?
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: I'm brought in, you know.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: But it would just be nice to have a quiet,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: quiet off season. It was quiet until last week. But yeah,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: that that stuff will sort itself out. Two comments and
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: then I'll hang up. Well three comments. One shout out
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: to the Storyline group in Oxnard. They recruited me.
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: But my wife's birthdays this week, so happy resive to
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: my wife. Hoping to join next year, but I know
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: it's gonna be a good time for them, all right.
• 26:42
  Speaker 13: So two players.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: One, we've got the training camp hero, tray Shawn Holding.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: You know, we've heard receivers over the years who make
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: a splash and then fizzle out or don't make the team.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Is there anything you see different up till now with
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Tray Shawn Holding and then film offa. I think the
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Jayden Blue and Sol MafA tandem could be something, but
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: you know, I haven't really heard a lot from MafA,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: so before the preseason games could going before the joint practice. Uh,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: any comment on those two players, that's all I.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Got for Yeah, I appreciate it. You know, I've been
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: talking about film offa. I mean I think I think
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: he looks pretty good.
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Running backs don't get tackled, so when they make you know,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: a thirty yard run out in the open field, I
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: mean sometimes the defense thinks he could be a two
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: yard loss, you know, depending on who was there, you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: and and they get their hands on him or not.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: But but he's a big runner, physical, you know, speed.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Both of those guys really, I mean one was a
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: seventh round pick and then the other one was undrafted.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Holden was undrafted. And remember his college coach to junior
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Adams was at Oregon, so, uh, he knows how to
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: coach him and knows what what kind of player that
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: they're getting. But I think anytime you're talking about running
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: backs and wide receivers that don't get drafted high, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: you know, in this case, seventh round and undrafted, usually
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: with a running back and receiver, there's a reason why,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: and it's speed or a lack thereof. That's pretty much
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: the case here. And separation is gonna be big for Holden.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: He's made some nice catches. He made some nice plays.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Separation is gonna be big, and the same with with
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: with MafA quickness. First step, get to the get to
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: the whole when you know, can you make that five
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: yard run into a twelve yard run? Can you make
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: that that one yard loss into a three yard run?
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Just because of you know, your your elusiveness and your
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: quickness and your awareness and uh to to you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: see see the hole and and and see the defenders
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: and all that kind of stuff. But I think, I
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: think how they act, you know, how they play in
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: the games are gonna be very very big. They've shown
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: both of them have shown something out here, but you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: just like with anything, you have to take it to
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: the game. And we've seen countless examples of five to
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: ten players that that did you know more than that
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: twenty players is that we're great out here practice and didn't
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: show up at the games. And we've seen some that
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: weren't so great in practice and were great in the games.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Deck Prescott, So are you a gamer? We'll find out.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Corbyn Corbyn in Stamford, Texas.

  Speaker 4: All right on the team right now or ever all time?
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Right now, right now.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: I'll be honest. I mean, my favorite player to watch
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: is Michael Parsons. I mean, no, no doubt about it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Michael Parsons is the is the player that on defense
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: you have to you have to watch defense. He's made
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: it must watch. A lot of people love the offense
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: and the touchdowns, but he is so he's been so
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: great on defense that you have you have to if
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: you want, if you have to go to the bathroom,
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I have to get something to drink. You don't do
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: it on defense because something big is going to happen.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: So so for me, that's why I hope this thing
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: gets done sooner than later. So I like to watch
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: the number eleven out there. All right, Well, do you
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: have any other questions? We'll just keep it moving for
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: other callers.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: Not really, I don't have any questions about the Cowboys.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, Well that's probably all I can give answers for
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: I barely know what about this team, much less than
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: any other team, So I'll have to keep it at Cowboys. Corbyn.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: It's good talking to you. Say hello to my nephews
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: there and a lot of my family members there in Stanford, Texas.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: You guys have a good one and good luck in
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: school coming up. All right? All right? Thanks? All right,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: that's awesome. So we have another caller here. You have
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: no huh last third Minnesota? Last? What's up?
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Man? I going on?
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Oh? He can answer, but I'm Nick, So I'm doing fine.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: I think he's doing fine, but he always all right,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: all right, don't worry about it. It's all right, let's
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: get to some football.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Let's go. Let's go with this, Michael Parsons sing. Come on, now,
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: every year we go through this, let's get a little.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Bit boring, a lot boring.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, let's let's pay the man and let's keep going.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: How much do you want to pay him? How much
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: do you want to pay him?
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Just well, whatever whatever he's asking for. Okay, And I
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: don't mean literally that, but I mean, within the margin.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: I understand this negotiation. I get it. But there's always,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: like I said, I I went to school Point County,
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: there's always a way to do things and to get
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: everybody to be mostly happy. Okay. And this has been
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: going on for a year or so. Come on now,
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: you can't tell me that within that year. I mean,
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: come on, this is a Cowboys thing. They do this
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: every single year, almost every year. That is a potter
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: and that's not a uh uh. I mean we can say, well,
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: this Tame Remembers just got held out in Cleveland. That
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: guy over there in Baltimore or whatever. Yeah, that's that
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: happens every once in a while with the other teams.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: But this team is like every year almost that's the
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: kind of it that's not a well this is that.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: But let's get this done, man, And I understand negotiation.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: I get it. Well, let's get it done. Letter.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. Yeah, Jerry Jones and the
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: and the Cowboys, and then and and a lot of
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: these big, big companies they get sued a lot. Why
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: do you think that is? Why do you think people
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: try to soothe big companies?
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: I mean because they foul some sort of loopholes somewhere,
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: but but they can get get in there, and uh.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Why not why not sue? Why not sue small companies?
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Why not sue a small person that's that you know,
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: barely has any money. I mean, that's what it comes
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: down to. It comes down to that. You see someone
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: with the money, then you're like, you know what, he's
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: got it, and I'm gonna go for it. And it's
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: the same with the players too, Like the players see it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: They see what happened last year, and they see what
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: happened the year before and all that, and they're like,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna hold on. This is how I get my money,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: This is how I get what I want. And and
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: maybe there's something to it. Maybe CD got more money
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: because of it. I know that that didn't hold out though.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: That's that's the thing. So but but I just think
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: you have to remember that there's two sides to it.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: And if you say you should just pay him, just
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: go ahead and pay whatever he wants. Just in December,
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: when the team is signing players off the street that
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: haven't played in three years and here having to start
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: in the game and go because they have no money
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: and they have no depth. Just remember that the Cowboys
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: caved and they paid Mike exactly what you wanted to
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: pay them four million dollars more on the salary cap
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: this year. How many players could they they have gotten
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: that could actually play, But now they're playing with guys
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: that probably should be in the CFL because they don't
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: have any depth.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: So you gotta remember, give me, let me give you.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Let me give you a quick summary. This this is
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: what I've never been to gym. Okay, but this is
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: what I would do if or or something like this,
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: because I've never been to gym, so I maybe have
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: some holes in what I'm gonna say. This is what
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: you do you think of a philosophy or what what?
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: However you want to run your team or whatever team
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: you want. Then you look at the colleges and you
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: you pick out the players that you that will fit
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: that system that you want to run. You get those
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: players or some if you can't get them allket you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: close to all of them. Say it says nine or
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: ten of them, you you you give them and you
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: lock them up, okay, and then you you sprinkle players
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: around them. I'm blowing real fast because it's more to
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: what I want to say than that. But sprinkle players
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: around and you always looking for those replacements. Of those
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: ten players. You put them in the room. You say, hey,
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: you're my core players. Everybody's gonna get paid. Let's let's
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: get it done.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Now, hold on, hold on, hold on, this is really
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: important question. You put them in a room. Is their
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: agent present in the room.
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I don't mean I'm going hell pairs.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: You may put them all in the room together, or
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: you may just do one by one, but you let
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: them all know all ten of those that hey, you
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: are by players. Y'all gonna get paid. Some players may
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: get up front money, some players may get up back money.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: But whatever you want, for the most part, you'll get.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: And that's how you do it? Man? Come on, now,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: is there players around them?
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: What do you what do you think they're doing?
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Is that?
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: How is that not what they're doing? How's that not
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: what they're doing?
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Because what you just said, you you just said that
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: they end up paying them too much. But you pay them,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: you pay them beforehand. You let them know. Look, if
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: you want to be part of this, this.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Is the don't you Yeah, don't you think the agent?
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Don't you think No, I'm just saying that the agent.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: They're not the Cowboys would love to do that. They're
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: not all Jake Ferguson. Jake Ferguson wanted to sign. Now,
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of players don't. A lot of players are waiting.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I mean there's a contract there, there's a number there.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: CD didn't want it, Micah didn't want it. I mean,
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: you know, Trayvon Diggs wanted it. Trayvon wanted it. You know,
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: So it happens. They they they've done both, they've done
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: they've done both.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: You may have to overpay a few of them, or
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: you just say hey, it's a competition. Like I said,
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: you always looking for their replacement. Anyway, you just let
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: them know, say hey, if you like with this a fine,
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: and you know we'll go from there. But you're looking
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: for their replacement because this is a philosophy you want
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: to run, so you can always look for a replacement
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: anyway so you can keep it going.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what this team has done. They drafted who
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: do they draft in the second around? Azaraku? Is he
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: gonna replace Micah? Probably not, but that's kind of what
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: they're doing. I mean, that's kind.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Of no, no, Nick, because yes, yes, yes, yes, we
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: get players. We get players that that hurt, and you're
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: not gonna play them anyway. Man, you can't do that.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Get hurt. We get more hurt players in the second
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: and third round than anybody, I think. I don't think.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying no one else does that, but we
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: get more of them than anybody. And those are your
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: premium picks, man, those are potential starters. You get hurt
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: players if you want them, you get them down the line.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Now every once in I should, but not not, not
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: not every three years. You're getta hurt player. Got too much?
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: That's too many?
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, thanks for the call, Lester. I don't
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: I just it's hard. It's it's hard for anyone to
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: try to understand what's happening when you don't know any
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: of the sides. And I'm putting myself in two. I
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: don't know the side. I don't know the conversation that's
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: being had, We don't know that, we don't know exactly
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: what's being said here and there. I think if everybody
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: kind of knew what it is, then you know, it'd
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: make a lot more sense. I mean, if DAK agreed
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: to sixty million a year and if CD went to
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: thirty four, what do you think they were asking for?
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: You know, do you think it was always that? I
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: doubt it. I doubt it. This is what negotiation is.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: And nobody's going to negotiate better in any deal, better
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: than Jerry. So he's not just going to say, Okay,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: this is what you want and then we'll do it.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: It doesn't happen that way. So you got to remember
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: where it must have started here and must have started here,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: and this is where they ended up. All right, let's
• 39:42

  Speaker 4: All right, let's go back to the phone lines here.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: We've got Irwin and Colorado. Irwin is up?
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, what's going on? I'm doing great? First off,
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: I want to thank you and Nick for that offme
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: coming that you guys sent me a really great addition
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: to my mug collection. Thank you very much for that.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: What's going on today? I don't understand. I'm Nick and
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: that's Chris. But that's all right, all right.
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: You know I know that.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: That's why I say.
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: That's why I'm saying, Nick, I want to thank you personally,
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: you and Nick for getting those things out to us.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Sounds good, okay, all right, what do you got.
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: So that last call? It was extremely frustrating hearing them
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: talking in. I agree with you one hundred percent. You
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: just can't cave in to players and just pay them
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: what they want. To Understand, they have agents, and the
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: agents will everybody knows agents. They're gonna want their money too, right,
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: They get paid for representing these players. So the agent's
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: definitely gonna try to get as much money as you
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: can for the players. But I mean, I think you
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: hold the convoy fantasy. To keep in mind, we've been
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: the Cowboys have been stuck in this dishous cycle for
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: like almost thirty years. Paying you know, your top players,
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: what is it like four or five top players? They
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: take up what fifty sixty percent? Maybe not quite that
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: much of the captain? Where is that leaf for else?
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: How do you build a team for backup players when
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: your starters get hurt? This is exactly what happens to
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: the team every year. You get these big time players
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: like Digs and Parsons, not so much Parsions, the other
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: players offensive line, they go down and then you know
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: they end up, you know, not making the playoffs or whatever.
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: I just want to get your thoughts on that.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's you're right. I mean, the depth
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: is so important and you can't just give them, Like
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: you said, you can't just give these guys what they want.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's part of it. And those players and
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: agents are they're no different than your kids. I mean,
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: you ask your kid, hey, hey, it's time to go
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: to bed. What time do you want to go to bed?
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I think you should go to bed at nine. What
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: time do you want eleven thirty midnight? You're like, no, no,
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: let's talk about this and maybe maybe nine thirty. I'll
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: deal with that, you know, and then you can negotiate.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: But if you just give them what they want, they're
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: gonna be eating chips and candy and pizza all day
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: and going to bed at midnight, you know what I mean.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: So I'm just saying you can't get it. It's no
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: different than what happens here. I mean, it starts here
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: and that's how you negotiate. But if every player got
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: what they wanted, you'd have sixteen players on your roster
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: and you wouldn't even have like a half of defense.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just you have to be smart about it.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: So I think you get it, and I just know
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: there's frustration. I mean, Lester in Minnesota, he gets it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: He's frustrated. You're frustrated with it? All right, thanks for
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: the call. Let's go to a case in Casey Joe,
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: he's in case morning. How are you doing. We started
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: with Kansas City, We're gonna end with Kansas City.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Hey, The one thing that nobody's talking about is the kicker.
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: I've heard of anything about the kicker.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: How's he looking?
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter because kickers out here and ox start
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: don't get evaluated well because it is a tough place
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: to kick. Wind is always going one way. I mean,
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: your extra points barely even make it over the line.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: But he seems to be making the ones that he's made,
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: and I think he's gonna be totally fine. Yeah, nobody's
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: talking about the kicker, but I think that's a good thing.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: In this case, that is a good thing.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: I just was scarious because you know, everybody's about everything else.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I just hadn't heard about the kicker.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: Kickers doing great. The head coach is doing it outstanding
