- 0:30Speaker 4: opportunity for you guys to tell me what you think.
- 0:34Speaker 4: Sound off a little bit, and I'm sure there's plenty
- 0:37Speaker 4: to talk about. Cowboys forty nine ers a week, always
- 0:41Speaker 4: a big game, always. I was about to say a
- 0:43Speaker 4: big rivalry. Is it a rivalry right now? I mean
- 0:46Speaker 4: it's historically been one, but right now the Cowboys have
- 0:51Speaker 4: been on the wrong side of these games for the
- 0:53Speaker 4: last three years. They did win in twenty twenty, but
- 0:58Speaker 4: you know they since since Brock Purty took over. Uh,
- 1:02Speaker 4: if you know, the last couple of years, Cowboys certainly
- 1:05Speaker 4: haven't been able uh to be much of a match
- 1:08Speaker 4: in those games. So, especially last year's game, We'll see
- 1:11Speaker 4: what happens this year. Things are different both sides of
- 1:14Speaker 4: the ball. Forty nine ers obviously banged up, Cowboys have
- 1:18Speaker 4: been banged up, So again, no one's feeling sorry for
- 1:20Speaker 4: them or the cowboys in that matter. All right, we've
- 1:24Speaker 4: got uh, we've got callers already on the line eight
- 1:27Speaker 4: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven they
- 1:30Speaker 4: will be lines will be open here in a second.
- 1:32Speaker 4: But let's start us off with Nate in Virginia. Nate
- 1:35Speaker 4: is up, Hey, Nick, how you doing good? How are
- 1:38Speaker 4: you great?
- 1:40Speaker 5: I can't believe I got through. I gut call again.
- 1:42Speaker 6: Before the show starts.
- 1:43Speaker 5: It's a good way to get through.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it depends on how I really want
- 1:48Speaker 4: to start, you know what I mean. It's like you
- 1:49Speaker 4: can always be you can always beat traffic, you know
- 1:51Speaker 4: what I mean, if you if you get there early enough.
- 1:53Speaker 6: Yeah. So is this first caller or the first time?
- 1:58Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 1:58Speaker 6: All right, here we go, Here we go, Come on,
- 2:01Speaker 6: come on. I love it. I love when you call out.
- 2:04Speaker 6: You call out.
- 2:06Speaker 4: He's got seventeen things going on back there, but he's
- 2:09Speaker 4: got it.
- 2:09Speaker 6: Thanks.
- 2:10Speaker 5: I'm missing I'm missing a ding too, Chris, the old ding,
- 2:13Speaker 5: the coin coin.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Yeah, it's well, you got to say something worthy of it, Nate.
- 2:19Speaker 4: You can't just throw out the d. You got to
- 2:21Speaker 4: say something worthy of him. Him chiming in like that
- 2:24Speaker 4: you got a free one. Let's see, let's see if
- 2:26Speaker 4: you can get one back.
- 2:27Speaker 8: I appreciate that.
- 2:28Speaker 9: All right.
- 2:28Speaker 5: Here's my biggest the thing that irks me the most
- 2:32Speaker 5: about this team since really since Dak has taken over
- 2:35Speaker 5: the reins as the quarterback, it didn't matter who's the coach.
- 2:39Speaker 5: Like our screen game, the game in the flats, like
- 2:42Speaker 5: the running game, has always been so stale, even under
- 2:46Speaker 5: Jason Garrett. And I don't understand. Is Dak bad at that?
- 2:50Speaker 5: Is he bad at those little touch passes? And if so,
- 2:53Speaker 5: he's had enough time now since twenty sixteen to work
- 2:56Speaker 5: on that to improve that.
- 2:58Speaker 6: What screen are you talking about?
- 3:00Speaker 10: What?
- 3:00Speaker 6: What's what type of pass? Again? Are you talking about?
- 3:03Speaker 5: Just just working in the flats in the short game
- 3:06Speaker 5: and little tosses and uh screens, good tight end screens,
- 3:12Speaker 5: good running backs. He just I don't see it with
- 3:14Speaker 5: the Cowboys. They'll pepper them in every now and again,
- 3:17Speaker 5: but you so so sparsely that they don't have time
- 3:23Speaker 5: to ever.
- 3:24Speaker 8: How could they ever get good at?
- 3:25Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 3:26Speaker 4: You know the problem is is because they don't. They
- 3:31Speaker 4: don't have and this every down back that that can
- 3:35Speaker 4: do everything because and the reason why I think it
- 3:38Speaker 4: matters with screens. Is that a screen. Sometimes you're going
- 3:41Speaker 4: to stay in there and block. Sometimes you fake the
- 3:43Speaker 4: block and then you know that's where you dump it
- 3:45Speaker 4: over their head and now you're really going Rico Daddle
- 3:49Speaker 4: has done it. We've seen a touchdown this year from that.
- 3:52Speaker 4: But I think for the most part they want to
- 3:54Speaker 4: have Zeke in there as a blocker. Now, is he
- 3:57Speaker 4: the best guy for the screen? Probably not, So that's
- 4:01Speaker 4: where I think it's kind of a proble. I'm not
- 4:02Speaker 4: I'm not giving him excuses to be they that we've
- 4:05Speaker 4: seen it some, but I think if you did have
- 4:07Speaker 4: an every down back that was a good blocker also
- 4:10Speaker 4: catching out of the backfield, That's that's where I think
- 4:13Speaker 4: you have a problem. When you've got three or four
- 4:15Speaker 4: different backs that all do something better than the other.
- 4:18Speaker 4: You're you're really going strong when you've got a guy
- 4:21Speaker 4: that can kind of do a little bit of everything.
- 4:22Speaker 4: But you're right, and I mean screens and you know,
- 4:26Speaker 4: opening up.
- 4:26Speaker 5: And getting into space, like you utilizing the space on
- 4:29Speaker 5: the field, like that's what I've always known to be
- 4:32Speaker 5: key to pretty much any any sport you play. Another
- 4:34Speaker 5: part open space is where the ball needs to be
- 4:36Speaker 5: and where you need to get the players too. Yeah,
- 4:39Speaker 5: I mean that's what I think Kelsey does so well
- 4:41Speaker 5: when he's out there freestyling. Yeah, for the Chiefs, he's
- 4:44Speaker 5: just finding the open space and where's Patrick. You know,
- 4:47Speaker 5: Mahome's gonna look.
- 4:47Speaker 6: He's going to look to that space definitely.
- 4:51Speaker 5: So as far as the runner backs, then, I've heard
- 4:54Speaker 5: that Miles Sanders is getting a little kind of itchy
- 4:57Speaker 5: getting out of Carolina. What do you think about out that?
- 5:00Speaker 5: I don't know if you can talk.
- 5:01Speaker 4: About that, but now we don't talk about other other teams,
- 5:05Speaker 4: other players on other teams right now. But but you know,
- 5:08Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys obviously should be looking at at something.
- 5:12Speaker 6: Thanks for the call, Nate.
- 5:15Speaker 4: You start talking about getting us in the in the
- 5:17Speaker 4: in the tampering area, and Crystal cuts you off there. Now,
- 5:20Speaker 4: Thanks for the call, Nate, appreciate it. First time color
- 5:23Speaker 4: there from Virginia. Good stuff. As we've talked about before,
- 5:26Speaker 4: when it comes to trades, potential trades, that's not something
- 5:30Speaker 4: we can talk specifically about. Do the Cowboys need to
- 5:34Speaker 4: go get a running back? You know, they need help
- 5:37Speaker 4: at running back? So is the guy that they're going
- 5:41Speaker 4: to trade for. If they traded for someone, is he.
- 5:44Speaker 6: Better than.
- 5:47Speaker 4: Seeing what Dalvin Cook can do from your practice squad.
- 5:49Speaker 4: I mean, I would least try that way. That doesn't
- 5:52Speaker 4: cost you anything. You've already picked him up, so I
- 5:54Speaker 4: would try that. But yeah, I mean, you can see
- 5:59Speaker 4: what's out there. I mean you can you can see
- 6:01Speaker 4: what's going on with the Panthers. I mean, Miles Sanders
- 6:04Speaker 4: plays for the Panthers. You can see that they've got
- 6:06Speaker 4: burning back. So they've got a guy coming up that
- 6:08Speaker 4: that they drafted that hasn't played yet and he's probably
- 6:11Speaker 4: getting close to that too. So that that's a situation
- 6:14Speaker 4: you know that that all teams are probably looking at
- 6:16Speaker 4: it if they need some help at running back, and that.
- 6:20Speaker 6: Would be that would be one.
- 6:22Speaker 4: So this is just starting to heat up the trade deadlines,
- 6:24Speaker 4: you know, here in a couple of weeks from now,
- 6:26Speaker 4: so so you know, you're you're starting to see it,
- 6:29Speaker 4: you see a trade, you know, I'm looking at the
- 6:31Speaker 4: screen now. DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs just kind of
- 6:35Speaker 4: revamped his career probably, you know, going to the Chiefs
- 6:38Speaker 4: where they you know, ma homes can can make these
- 6:41Speaker 4: guys a lot better. So but as far as the
- 6:45Speaker 4: Cowboys go, well, we'll see. I have a feeling that
- 6:47Speaker 4: they'll do something. It's a big game. This is a
- 6:51Speaker 4: probably a really big pivotal game.
- 6:53Speaker 6: For that.
- 6:53Speaker 4: You go up to San Francisco, play well, I think
- 6:58Speaker 4: that will help win the game. That's even and better
- 7:00Speaker 4: from a standpoint of what are the Cowboys going to
- 7:04Speaker 4: do about this season? You're going to be buyers. I
- 7:07Speaker 4: don't think they're going to be sellers so much, but
- 7:09Speaker 4: I think, you know, are you going to be buyers?
- 7:10Speaker 4: And I think if you if you go up there,
- 7:13Speaker 4: show that you know you you you can, you can
- 7:15Speaker 4: play well. I don't care who San Francisco has, doesn't matter,
- 7:18Speaker 4: go up there and try to, you know, win that game.
- 7:20Speaker 4: I think they have a good chance of doing that.
- 7:22Speaker 4: I think it might change a little bit of like Okay,
- 7:24Speaker 4: what do we need to kind of fix this and
- 7:26Speaker 4: kind of you know, push this team over the top.
- 7:29Speaker 4: Let's go to Rick in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
- 7:33Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
- 7:35Speaker 6: How you doing Rick?
- 7:36Speaker 12: Oh?
- 7:36Speaker 10: Good?
- 7:36Speaker 11: I'm excited, man, I'm excited for this week.
- 7:39Speaker 13: Uh.
- 7:39Speaker 11: I didn't want to call last week. I was really disappointed, obviously,
- 7:43Speaker 11: like everybody else. But like some of your callers say,
- 7:46Speaker 11: I'm kind of a half uh half glass full type
- 7:50Speaker 11: of guy, you know. So, but excited because I fly
- 7:52Speaker 11: out tomorrow to San Jose and forty nine ers week
- 7:56Speaker 11: is really important to me to tell you why. It's
- 7:58Speaker 11: like I've been to three games, forty nine er games,
- 8:02Speaker 11: and the reason I go to these games a lot
- 8:05Speaker 11: is because my wife is a th heart, you believe
- 8:08Speaker 11: it or not. So we battle all the time when
- 8:11Speaker 11: it comes to this stuff. But uh so we're going
- 8:15Speaker 11: to this game this week. And the last one, the
- 8:18Speaker 11: last three we went to was in twenty fourteen when
- 8:21Speaker 11: they played the first game of the season with Kaepernick.
- 8:23Speaker 11: I don't know if you remember that one. That one
- 8:25Speaker 11: was a sea of red in the stadium, Fine Red.
- 8:30Speaker 6: Sorry, huh joke. I think it was Mickey.
- 8:34Speaker 4: I think it was Mickey that said that one time
- 8:36Speaker 4: on the air about that game, about that game, and
- 8:38Speaker 4: they asked about the red he goes to fine Red.
- 8:41Speaker 8: That was no.
- 8:43Speaker 11: I remember that game.
- 8:44Speaker 14: It was I was so mad.
- 8:46Speaker 11: I was in so much red. I couldn't believe it.
- 8:49Speaker 11: Not fortunate enough to.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Give the Cowboys are such a good team that year,
- 8:52Speaker 4: like it did not look like it. It did not
- 8:55Speaker 4: look like that was going to be a good season
- 8:56Speaker 4: for the Cowboys, but that first game, but they were
- 8:59Speaker 4: they were good, all right.
- 9:00Speaker 11: We went twelve and four, and then we went in
- 9:03Speaker 11: twenty twenty one, luckily to get playoff tickets, and then
- 9:06Speaker 11: we went last year, and I'm oning three, and oh,
- 9:10Speaker 11: I just need to put this in my life space
- 9:12Speaker 11: with a win, so it'll be fun. I won't ruin
- 9:16Speaker 11: it for her if she wins, though, because I've done
- 9:18Speaker 11: that for the twenty fourteen game. But yeah, I'm really
- 9:22Speaker 11: excited about the game and looking forward to it and
- 9:25Speaker 11: hopefully we you know, kick some of your end.
- 9:29Speaker 6: All right, Rick, I hope you have.
- 9:30Speaker 4: I hope you have a good one and in that
- 9:32Speaker 4: streak against the forty nine ers, and you can you know,
- 9:35Speaker 4: you can have I don't know, you can have bragging
- 9:37Speaker 4: rights around the house for I don't know, hour, hour
- 9:41Speaker 4: and a half, maybe two, because that's.
- 9:43Speaker 6: About how long that goes.
- 9:44Speaker 4: And then and then all of a sudden it'll be
- 9:46Speaker 4: something else that you did wrong, and so then we
- 9:48Speaker 4: won't be talking about that. But I get it, I understand,
- 9:50Speaker 4: all right. Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky, what's going on?
- 9:55Speaker 10: Are you doing pretty good?
- 9:57Speaker 3: Hey?
- 9:58Speaker 10: You're talking about one day. I think a couple of
- 10:00Speaker 10: weeks ago. He had a Tony door step poster on
- 10:03Speaker 10: the wall. Yep, the Tony door step poster on the wall.
- 10:07Speaker 10: I've been with the same post.
- 10:10Speaker 6: I had it.
- 10:10Speaker 4: I looked at him and herschel walker actually next to
- 10:14Speaker 4: each other. I didn't take Tony down, but I you know,
- 10:17Speaker 4: I had herschel up there. But I love Tony dor
- 10:20Speaker 4: set Tony dor set Man. He was he was my
- 10:22Speaker 4: favorite player, for sure.
- 10:24Speaker 6: He's awesome.
- 10:25Speaker 10: I remember watching the Minnesota game on my thirteen inch
- 10:31Speaker 10: black and white TV in my bedroom when he got
- 10:34Speaker 10: the ninety nine yards and I was just going crazy.
- 10:38Speaker 6: Yeah, oh, I remember. I actually had to go to bed.
- 10:41Speaker 6: I didn't. I didn't.
- 10:42Speaker 4: I'll never forget that. I'll never forgetting. The next morning,
- 10:46Speaker 4: my mom like, mom, did we win Monday night football?
- 10:49Speaker 6: Did we win? And she said no.
- 10:51Speaker 4: No, but and I was thinking, what what what kind
- 10:55Speaker 4: of you know, what else could there be? And she
- 10:58Speaker 4: explained to me what happened, but I still was kind
- 11:00Speaker 4: of like, yeah that they lost.
- 11:02Speaker 6: I was like six.
- 11:03Speaker 4: I didn't understand it, but it's pretty cool now yeah,
- 11:06Speaker 4: I'm a little bit older than you.
- 11:07Speaker 10: So I was able to watch it, but uh, the
- 11:11Speaker 10: game this weekend, I won't be able to watch because
- 11:14Speaker 10: I have a date with my wife on Sunday night.
- 11:16Speaker 10: So I just have to check the highlight.
- 11:19Speaker 6: Uh time out? Hold up? Hold up?
- 11:24Speaker 4: So this is anniversary we got? Is there an occasion here?
- 11:29Speaker 6: This is just date.
- 11:32Speaker 10: I've been working a lot and I haven't had a
- 11:34Speaker 10: lot of time off, and we had playing this and
- 11:38Speaker 10: I didn't realize the Cowboys were playing Sunday night. My
- 11:40Speaker 10: wife's like, hey, our date Sunday night, but the Cowboys
- 11:44Speaker 10: are on. I was like, dates more important. I have to,
- 11:48Speaker 10: you know, break it back.
- 11:50Speaker 4: That's mad respect for that, seriously, because I because we
- 11:53Speaker 4: know you're a diehard Cowo fan.
- 11:55Speaker 6: We know you.
- 11:55Speaker 4: You're on here, you call, we know it. So I
- 11:58Speaker 4: respect that priorities are in check. You're gonna watch it,
- 12:01Speaker 4: you're gonna figure it out.
- 12:02Speaker 6: But I do respect that.
- 12:04Speaker 10: But I'm thinking of a very odd score. I'm gonna
- 12:09Speaker 10: go Dallas thirteen, San Francisco's six.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Okay, and then what about the second quarter?
- 12:20Speaker 10: That's it.
- 12:20Speaker 6: Oh that's the game. I'm kidding.
- 12:23Speaker 4: All right, Well, Uh, you know that that doesn't seem
- 12:28Speaker 4: that fun. That seems like a defensive game, but you'll
- 12:33Speaker 4: probably Hey, if that's the game. I think you're just
- 12:35Speaker 4: saying that because you know you're gonna be sitting there,
- 12:38Speaker 4: you know, getting our doors and stuff like that at dinner.
- 12:41Speaker 4: You're just saying that because you don't want this to
- 12:43Speaker 4: be this thirty eight thirty four back and forth shootout
- 12:46Speaker 4: game that you're gonna miss. You're gonna be getting text
- 12:48Speaker 4: messages probably from your friends and stuff like that. So yeah,
- 12:51Speaker 4: you're just hoping for some thirteen six boring game and
- 12:54Speaker 4: then win it. But hey, doesn't matter, get to win
- 12:57Speaker 4: either way.
- 12:58Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, all right, what do.
- 13:04Speaker 4: You think Chris? Chris got some messages there? Uh, you
- 13:09Speaker 4: don't agree with that?
- 13:10Speaker 6: You don't, man, If you're in, you're in for all
- 13:11Speaker 6: of the baby, let's go.
- 13:15Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I yeah, I mean I would have.
- 13:19Speaker 4: I would have liked maybe the way now she knows
- 13:25Speaker 4: at least she asked, and he said no.
- 13:27Speaker 6: He said no, it's good. She threw it out there.
- 13:28Speaker 6: Sounds like like, are you sure you know a sports bar? Yeah?
- 13:33Speaker 4: Right right, yeah, we don't. He didn't tell us where
- 13:35Speaker 4: we're going here. I mean, yeah, he's like he's driving
- 13:39Speaker 4: to big screens. All right, Now, that's that's school. I
- 13:43Speaker 4: understand that. I gotta take care of that. But man,
- 13:46Speaker 4: I mean, couldn't have been the bye week, couldn't have
- 13:49Speaker 4: been last there's three days you got, all right? Hey,
- 13:53Speaker 4: everybody does their own thing. As as as my good
- 13:56Speaker 4: friend Clarence Hill always says, hey, you coach your team,
- 13:58Speaker 4: I'll coach my team. So all good, Michael, do your thing.
- 14:03Speaker 4: Gary in New Mexico.
- 14:05Speaker 6: What's up?
- 14:06Speaker 8: Hey?
- 14:07Speaker 15: Nick? Got a trivia question for you I think is
- 14:09Speaker 15: right in your wheelhouse. Okay, So tell me what former
- 14:15Speaker 15: Cowboys receiver got his only start in nineteen eighty five
- 14:20Speaker 15: against the San Francisco forty nine ers, had over one
- 14:23Speaker 15: hundred yards and was never heard from again. War the
- 14:27Speaker 15: number eighty.
- 14:28Speaker 6: One, Carl Pope.
- 14:33Speaker 15: Yeah, that's the one.
- 14:34Speaker 9: Man.
- 14:34Speaker 15: I knew you would get that one. I had a
- 14:36Speaker 15: tougher question for you that I didn't think you could
- 14:38Speaker 15: get it. I knew you would get CHRL.
- 14:40Speaker 7: Bring it.
- 14:41Speaker 6: I'm feeling feisty today. Let's go. You got another one?
- 14:44Speaker 15: Oh yeah, can you tell me the last time the
- 14:47Speaker 15: Cowboys had a tie?
- 14:49Speaker 2: Oh?
- 14:50Speaker 6: Man, Yeah, yeah, I'm glad, you know what, I'm glad.
- 14:53Speaker 6: I don't know that one.
- 14:54Speaker 4: That's I'm gonna just say nineteen sixty six six nine.
- 15:00Speaker 15: And I didn't know that. I just happened to come
- 15:02Speaker 15: across it when.
- 15:03Speaker 8: I was reading something the other day.
- 15:04Speaker 15: But it was against the forty nine ers. Oh really
- 15:06Speaker 15: it was the last time. Yeah, it was on Thanksgiving
- 15:08Speaker 15: Gay at the Cotton Bowl. Twenty four to twenty four
- 15:10Speaker 15: was the final score. Now that was before they had
- 15:13Speaker 15: overtime in the regular season, so that's probably why.
- 15:16Speaker 8: But I tell you that to tell you this, if the.
- 15:18Speaker 15: Cowboys come back, if you told me right now Dallas
- 15:21Speaker 15: would come back from San Francisco with the tie, I
- 15:23Speaker 15: would gladly take it. Wow, I would gladly I'd take
- 15:27Speaker 15: a tire right now, because you know, we've talked a
- 15:29Speaker 15: lot about expectations and standards, and I have come to
- 15:33Speaker 15: the acceptance phase of my twenty twenty four season with
- 15:36Speaker 15: the Cowboys. You know, I just I don't know, But
- 15:42Speaker 15: I don't think they're going to make any trades. I
- 15:44Speaker 15: don't think they're going to do anything that's gonna give
- 15:47Speaker 15: up capital for next year. That they're keeping their powder
- 15:50Speaker 15: drive for next year. It's like Mike Fisher's been saying
- 15:52Speaker 15: since February. Man, this is a soft rebuild, this is
- 15:55Speaker 15: a reset year. They're going to see what they've got
- 15:57Speaker 15: with their young players. They're going to play it out,
- 16:00Speaker 15: and we need to know, you know, we need to
- 16:01Speaker 15: know what these young guys can do if we're going
- 16:03Speaker 15: to draft and develop. We need to know if they're
- 16:05Speaker 15: going to develop. So I'm excited to see the young
- 16:08Speaker 15: players and I hope they can do good. And I'm
- 16:11Speaker 15: not giving up on the season, but I've adjusted my
- 16:15Speaker 15: expectations and I think they're more likely to be sellers
- 16:18Speaker 15: at the trade deadline. I don't think they're going to
- 16:20Speaker 15: give up any capital. H And how the next two
- 16:24Speaker 15: weeks come, how the next two weeks play out, I
- 16:26Speaker 15: think will determine a.
- 16:27Speaker 8: Lot of that.
- 16:27Speaker 15: But any I enjoyed the show and listen to your comment.
- 16:29Speaker 4: Thanks Gary. I say this all the time. If they're
- 16:34Speaker 4: going to get someone at the trade deadline, and it
- 16:39Speaker 4: doesn't always work this way, but figure out somebody that
- 16:43Speaker 4: you can bring in that that maybe could be here
- 16:47Speaker 4: next year. I'm not looking for anybody at the end
- 16:49Speaker 4: of their dear. I'm not trying to rent anything here.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Let's let's get a guy that has another year in
- 16:55Speaker 4: his contract and and and also you know has has
- 16:58Speaker 4: left in the tank too, where you know he could
- 17:01Speaker 4: be productive this year, we think he can be productive
- 17:04Speaker 4: next year. Then what that does to me if you
- 17:09Speaker 4: if you look at it this way, Let's just say
- 17:11Speaker 4: it's a running back. Okay, Let's say it's a running
- 17:14Speaker 4: back that you like and and and obviously you like him,
- 17:17Speaker 4: but like you think he's he's he could do something
- 17:20Speaker 4: for you this year immediately, and and next year as well,
- 17:24Speaker 4: still got something in the tank, and then who knows
- 17:26Speaker 4: after that, that right there might change. So so so
- 17:31Speaker 4: let's say you throw a fourth round pick, a fifth
- 17:34Speaker 4: round pick for a running back like that.
- 17:35Speaker 6: This is all hypothetical.
- 17:37Speaker 4: So then what yeah, okay, so that that's next year's
- 17:41Speaker 4: draft capital. But instead of saying first round, everyone's throwing
- 17:46Speaker 4: the Boise State guy at this, you know, oh, they
- 17:48Speaker 4: gotta get they gotta draft him, they gotta draft him.
- 17:50Speaker 4: A're gonna have a Well, maybe you don't have to
- 17:52Speaker 4: do that. You still want to draft a running back, probably,
- 17:54Speaker 4: but you don't have to spend first or second round,
- 17:57Speaker 4: maybe mid round or something like that to add to it.
- 18:00Speaker 4: But so if you give me a guy that can
- 18:03Speaker 4: be here next year and maybe even and and beyond,
- 18:06Speaker 4: then then I'm changing my draft capital a little bit
- 18:10Speaker 4: where now I don't have to use as much so
- 18:12Speaker 4: I can justify that mid round pick that I gave
- 18:15Speaker 4: because I may not need that position as much. If
- 18:19Speaker 4: that makes sense. That's that's what I'm trying to say.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Just don't just give me a guy that that you
- 18:23Speaker 4: know is not going to be here next year, and
- 18:26Speaker 4: so what what does that really do? I don't think
- 18:27Speaker 4: the Cowboys are one player away from really turning this around.
- 18:31Speaker 4: That's that's kind of I think my point. There's some
- 18:34Speaker 4: teams that can just do that and say if we
- 18:36Speaker 4: had a receiver or if we had a pass rusher,
- 18:38Speaker 4: we could be right. Cowboys need a lot. I mean,
- 18:41Speaker 4: you look at a lot of positions where I would say,
- 18:43Speaker 4: six or seven positions where you would be like, yeah,
- 18:45Speaker 4: bring bring that guy here.
- 18:47Speaker 6: All right, let's go to rob in Vegas.
- 18:50Speaker 15: What's up, man, Dragon?
- 18:53Speaker 7: I just got back from Hawaii.
- 18:57Speaker 6: Nice.
- 18:58Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a great time wedding.
- 19:01Speaker 6: Ooh good stuff.
- 19:02Speaker 7: All right, Yeah, so I caught some I'm going to
- 19:05Speaker 7: show yesterday when I got off the plane and I'm
- 19:11Speaker 7: it's funny, how now you're hearing some people say, well,
- 19:15Speaker 7: you know, if the Cowboys win, it's really not that
- 19:17Speaker 7: impressive that San Francisco is missing guys that I'm like,
- 19:21Speaker 7: are you crazy? I said, win if they only had
- 19:25Speaker 7: four guys on the field and is still favored.
- 19:29Speaker 6: If I if, I I mean and comfortable.
- 19:32Speaker 7: They should They should be right there. There's still a
- 19:36Speaker 7: better team than us. They're at home, and unfortunately what
- 19:40Speaker 7: they do good, we're bad at They you know, they're
- 19:43Speaker 7: going to run the ball. They have the best Andy
- 19:46Speaker 7: Reid and and this coach probably two best play callers
- 19:49Speaker 7: in football. Yeah, so they we don't know who's playing
- 19:54Speaker 7: for us, so you know they're gonna run it. They
- 19:58Speaker 7: still got the best linebacker in football, Fred Wanner, George,
- 20:01Speaker 7: I mean, they got both. It's it's going to be
- 20:05Speaker 7: a struggle because Dak struggles against San Francisco.
- 20:08Speaker 6: Right.
- 20:09Speaker 7: Sometimes it's just those teams, those matchups like in boxing.
- 20:12Speaker 6: Yeah, well, and I go ahead.
- 20:14Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Jordan Mason's right second in the league in rushing, so
- 20:18Speaker 4: it's not I mean, yeah, they don't have Christian McCaffrey.
- 20:20Speaker 6: But they run the ball.
- 20:21Speaker 4: I mean, and they're three and four, so like it's
- 20:24Speaker 4: not like they've been just leading and winning all these games.
- 20:27Speaker 4: I mean, they run the ball when they're down, they
- 20:29Speaker 4: run the ball effectively. So yeah, it's it's it's not
- 20:33Speaker 4: a good matchup obviously for the Cowboys and forty nine ers.
- 20:36Speaker 7: And they also have confidence when they play. You know,
- 20:40Speaker 7: there's just those teams where when you walk on the field,
- 20:44Speaker 7: you own them and they know that. And that's how
- 20:47Speaker 7: San Francisco feels when they play Dallas and you could
- 20:50Speaker 7: see it in the body language, and you know, Dallas
- 20:55Speaker 7: is wounded just like that, especially if Mike It don't play.
- 21:00Speaker 7: I don't know how you get a pass rush. But
- 21:02Speaker 7: I agree, I think this is this is the turning
- 21:04Speaker 7: point of the season because you're coming off a bye,
- 21:08Speaker 7: you're coming off you know, an ass whooping, and if
- 21:12Speaker 7: you can't turn it around and win this game, I
- 21:17Speaker 7: just see everybody, you know, the Dominoes really start to fall.
- 21:21Speaker 7: I don't think they're gonna, you know, trade away players.
- 21:24Speaker 7: They really don't have anybody to trade, and I definitely
- 21:28Speaker 7: don't think they're gonna acquire talent, so this is this
- 21:32Speaker 7: is the I think Arry Jones d yeah. I think
- 21:37Speaker 7: they're saying, Okay, here we go. We win this game
- 21:39Speaker 7: four and three. We beat a good team on the road.
- 21:41Speaker 7: If we lose this, especially if we lose it bad,
- 21:44Speaker 7: then who knows.
- 21:45Speaker 4: We're gonna I agree, I mean, this is this is
- 21:48Speaker 4: yeah spoking the road game. Would see you know you're
- 21:50Speaker 4: gonna go left, You're gonna go right, but we'll see
- 21:53Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you're you're right. Make good points as always, Rob,

- 24:23Speaker 6: How are you?
- 24:25Speaker 18: I'm hanging in there, man, just looking at future schedules
- 24:28Speaker 18: and running playoff scenarios in my head, you know, And
- 24:31Speaker 18: I'm like, and we've got to we've got to sweep.
- 24:33Speaker 6: The division in my head to get in, you know.
- 24:36Speaker 18: And I mean we really need to win Sunday night. Yeah,
- 24:39Speaker 18: you know, who knows if that happens. But yeah, it's
- 24:42Speaker 18: just like, man, the NFC North is loaded. You might
- 24:45Speaker 18: have three teams right there, you know. So yeah, it's
- 24:49Speaker 18: just like dang man, scary, you know.
- 24:51Speaker 4: Let's see, let's just see what happens you start, you know,
- 24:54Speaker 4: teams start playing each other a lot like that, that
- 24:57Speaker 4: North is going to be like, it looks really really good. Good,
- 25:00Speaker 4: but let's just see because they have to they have
- 25:03Speaker 4: to play each other, and so those exactly, you know,
- 25:06Speaker 4: now we'll see, we'll see what happens. I mean, they
- 25:08Speaker 4: they look good, and I mean they're the West. Let
- 25:11Speaker 4: me look look at those teams. I mean, you know,
- 25:13Speaker 4: that's that's kind of they're they're down this year, but
- 25:16Speaker 4: they're all kind of in it as well. Cardinals look
- 25:19Speaker 4: pretty good. So but again, like you said, gotta gotta
- 25:23Speaker 4: gotta win. See what happens when you go face the
- 25:25Speaker 4: Eagles got The Eagles got Washington coming up in a
- 25:28Speaker 4: couple of weeks after that. So yeah, we'll find out
- 25:31Speaker 4: real quick here, we'll find out before Thanksgiving. Just exactly
- 25:34Speaker 4: what this team has. We may find out Sunday night.
- 25:36Speaker 6: Honestly, yeah, for sure.
- 25:39Speaker 18: Well, Hey, I don't want to take up too much time.
- 25:41Speaker 9: I do have two questions.
- 25:42Speaker 18: So my first one is, which this might sound kind
- 25:45Speaker 18: of stupid, but does does the bye week count as
- 25:50Speaker 18: a week for the player on IR? So like the
- 25:52Speaker 18: Marcus Forrence for Inston likes.
- 25:56Speaker 6: But okay, that's games.
- 25:58Speaker 8: Yeah, oh it's a game.
- 26:00Speaker 6: Mm hmm it is four games.
- 26:02Speaker 18: Oh man, that's that's such a bummer.
- 26:04Speaker 6: Okay, So it wasn't good.
- 26:05Speaker 8: Question, No, not at all.
- 26:07Speaker 6: It's four games.
- 26:08Speaker 4: You don't want they don't want teams manipulating when they
- 26:10Speaker 4: put a guy on IR for that if there's a
- 26:12Speaker 4: bye week and stuff like that.
- 26:13Speaker 6: So no, it's it's definitely four games.
- 26:16Speaker 11: So dang it. Okay, that suck.
- 26:19Speaker 18: So well, I learned something today there, Okay, and then
- 26:22Speaker 18: this is like, uh, that kind of touched on playoffs
- 26:25Speaker 18: not playoffs, so this is kind of a future question.
- 26:28Speaker 18: Do you know around about how many comp pics we
- 26:32Speaker 18: have coming back for next year? And like maybe what round? Yeah,
- 26:39Speaker 18: I was taking four or five.
- 26:42Speaker 6: You cannot get more for so okay, there's another.
- 26:45Speaker 18: Thing you're teaching me a lot.
- 26:46Speaker 6: There you go. Yeah, I just learned that last year too.
- 26:50Speaker 4: I thought you could get more that you can only
- 26:51Speaker 4: get four, and I think the Cowboys will get four probably.
- 26:56Speaker 18: Collared Iron be Hottish, Fowlor gill more kind of some
- 27:01Speaker 18: people I had down.
- 27:02Speaker 10: So anyway, all right, well, hey.
- 27:04Speaker 13: Yeah for the thanks for kissing me a couple of.
- 27:06Speaker 18: Primes today and we'll talk to you.
- 27:08Speaker 4: I would think thanks for the call, Derek, good stuff.
- 27:10Speaker 4: I wouldn't think anything higher than a fourth maybe maybe
- 27:16Speaker 4: that for Pollard, I'm not I'm not really sure. I
- 27:19Speaker 4: was told long time ago that you know, they'll they'll
- 27:22Speaker 4: cure cancer before you can figure out exactly the the
- 27:25Speaker 4: the method of what they're using for the the comp picks.
- 27:31Speaker 4: It's just it's it's very it's very odd, honestly on
- 27:35Speaker 4: how they do it, and it's not done there there
- 27:38Speaker 4: there you can find a website that says what the
- 27:40Speaker 4: projections are, but it does change, and it changes too
- 27:43Speaker 4: with how the player plays that season somewhat too. So
- 27:48Speaker 4: I think I think four four will probably be right.
- 27:51Speaker 4: You know, I would think definitely in the in the
- 27:54Speaker 4: fifth round, sixth, uh, maybe seventh. But but yeah, you're
- 27:57Speaker 4: talking about starting players now, dorn Armstrong got hurt. But
- 28:01Speaker 4: when you look at Dorince be Oddish Pollard, like you said, Gilmour, yeah,
- 28:08Speaker 4: I mean I al would think they get there for
- 28:10Speaker 4: And then what you said about Tank like, is it games?
- 28:16Speaker 4: His his is going to be a little bit more
- 28:17Speaker 4: than four games anyway, So you know he missed Pittsburgh
- 28:20Speaker 4: and the Lions, and I would think definitely the forty
- 28:24Speaker 4: nine Ers and the Falcons regardless if there was a
- 28:27Speaker 4: buye you know, but maybe maybe November tenth Eagles. That
- 28:31Speaker 4: might be a good a good spot for him to
- 28:32Speaker 4: come back if he can. All right, let's go to
- 28:35Speaker 4: Brian in Kansas City. Brian, what's up?
- 28:38Speaker 11: Well, Miss Hurry is killing it today.
- 28:41Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, back to back. We got two
- 28:43Speaker 4: New Mexico's and two missouris love it.
- 28:47Speaker 17: I'm telling you you got the Midwest cover.
- 28:49Speaker 6: Ben, There we go.
- 28:51Speaker 17: You know, I was I was reading an article.
- 28:53Speaker 13: I don't know if it was two days ago maybe,
- 28:56Speaker 13: and it was not about the Cowboys, but it was
- 28:58Speaker 13: just an article about really good players who were locked
- 29:03Speaker 13: up on contracts that are more than just this year
- 29:06Speaker 13: next year.
- 29:06Speaker 17: You know, they're kind of they're locked up on really
- 29:09Speaker 17: bad teams.
- 29:10Speaker 13: Right, And the only name that excited me was sexy
- 29:14Speaker 13: Dexi in New York.
- 29:15Speaker 17: Dexter Lawrence was on that list, and they were they
- 29:19Speaker 17: were projecting him to maybe Minnesota. Now I don't know
- 29:23Speaker 17: who Minnesota's one tech is and whether they even need
- 29:26Speaker 17: a person, but you know, of course the trade compensation
- 29:30Speaker 17: was ridiculous because he's you know, probably the best one
- 29:34Speaker 17: tech in the league right now, you know so, But
- 29:38Speaker 17: that was the only name on the list. I thought,
- 29:40Speaker 17: you know, there's nobody else that would excite me that,
- 29:43Speaker 17: you know, no running backs, because our offensive line is
- 29:46Speaker 17: still kind of questionable. You know, we don't know what
- 29:48Speaker 17: we had yet. So yeah, it's just just a thought
- 29:51Speaker 17: to throw out there, and I'll get off the line
- 29:54Speaker 17: for other people. My player, for my my historical player
- 29:57Speaker 17: today is David.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Lafe all right, David, all right, thanks David the floor.
- 30:06Speaker 4: I think he was a trivia question answered. We had
- 30:08Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago. Maybe that was Aikman's last
- 30:12Speaker 4: touchdown pass was to David lafloor.
- 30:14Speaker 6: Uh.
- 30:16Speaker 4: He was there for maybe one year, two years when
- 30:20Speaker 4: I was here, and I don't remember much about him.
- 30:22Speaker 4: He was hurt a lot, and that was kind of
- 30:23Speaker 4: the reason why his career never really took off. Bad
- 30:27Speaker 4: back he just he never really was one hundred healthy.
- 30:30Speaker 4: In fact, if I here's the story about David lafleur,
- 30:34Speaker 4: if I and I hope I have this right, but
- 30:36Speaker 4: he did so many he had so many injuries, back
- 30:40Speaker 4: injuries that he ended up. Mickey would know this story
- 30:45Speaker 4: better than me, But he ended up buying an MRI machine,
- 30:48Speaker 4: and I think that's what he I think that was
- 30:51Speaker 4: his business after football was running like a place that
- 30:56Speaker 4: had that did MRIs, He did so.
- 30:58Speaker 6: Many of them.
- 30:59Speaker 4: He understood the business. He ended up I think buying
- 31:02Speaker 4: an MRI machine or a couple. I don't know, Chris,
- 31:05Speaker 4: you may know that story too. It was something like that,
- 31:08Speaker 4: But I mean just kind of took advantage of a situation,
- 31:11Speaker 4: learned a lot about it, and that's I think that's
- 31:13Speaker 4: what he was ended up doing. But to answer your
- 31:16Speaker 4: question too about or just your comment about trades and
- 31:19Speaker 4: all that, you mentioned a player from the Giants.
- 31:20Speaker 6: Again, we're not getting.
- 31:21Speaker 4: Into all that, but remember that not every team is
- 31:25Speaker 4: equal when it comes to compensation, and so the Cowboys
- 31:31Speaker 4: would have to have by far the best offer to
- 31:35Speaker 4: trade for a player from the Giants, especially somebody you're
- 31:38Speaker 4: going to keep for a little bit because now they
- 31:40Speaker 4: have to face him twice a year, even once more
- 31:43Speaker 4: this year.
- 31:43Speaker 6: Why would they do that.
- 31:45Speaker 4: The compensation would have to be far and away better
- 31:47Speaker 4: than anything else.
- 31:48Speaker 6: So it's not going to be the same. It's not
- 31:50Speaker 6: apples to apples.
- 31:51Speaker 4: When you're talking about that kind of stuff, that's why
- 31:53Speaker 4: you trade them, trade them away, don't have to deal
- 31:56Speaker 4: with that for a while or maybe even ever again.
- 32:00Speaker 4: So I just don't see I don't see that that happen.
- 32:03Speaker 4: You don't see a lot of trades within the division
- 32:06Speaker 4: like that. If so, the Cowboys would have to have
- 32:08Speaker 4: the best offer, and I don't think they would probably
- 32:10Speaker 4: be looking to do that, all right, Zach in Atlanta's next.
- 32:13Speaker 15: Hey, what's up, Nick?
- 32:14Speaker 6: How are you good? How are you doing doing all right?
- 32:16Speaker 3: Man?
- 32:17Speaker 10: Hey?
- 32:17Speaker 19: Two quick comments, keep it short today. So One, we've
- 32:23Speaker 19: seen a couple of big receiver trades around the league,
- 32:27Speaker 19: and I'm curious. You know, it worked for us with
- 32:30Speaker 19: the Maari Cooper. He was a plug and play guy
- 32:33Speaker 19: who kind of took us to the playoffs that year.
- 32:37Speaker 19: But rewinding the tape a little bit, you had I
- 32:41Speaker 19: want to say it was a mid season trade for
- 32:42Speaker 19: Roy Williams. I always saw Romo as a guy who
- 32:46Speaker 19: could kind of elevate whatever talent Roy Williams was. I
- 32:49Speaker 19: thought very talented, but it just never seemed to work out.
- 32:53Speaker 19: Why do you think that was? At the time? Why
- 32:55Speaker 19: I was in maybe sixth or seventh grade.
- 32:57Speaker 11: I don't really.
- 32:58Speaker 19: Remember everything, But why do you think that was at the.
- 33:01Speaker 4: Time, Well, let me just say this, as great of
- 33:04Speaker 4: a player as Terrell Owens was, it was it was
- 33:09Speaker 4: a tough situation to bring a receiver in like that.
- 33:12Speaker 4: You had to in that eight season was a mess.
- 33:15Speaker 4: That was the best football team that never made the playoffs.
- 33:18Speaker 4: In my opinion, that was a really, really good team.
- 33:21Speaker 4: They were dysfunctional too, was a big part of that. Again,
- 33:25Speaker 4: I'm not knocking him. He was an outstanding player, but
- 33:29Speaker 4: the dynamic was tough. And you trade in the middle
- 33:32Speaker 4: of the season four guy and then you know what's
- 33:35Speaker 4: up with his contract and if he's going to be here,
- 33:38Speaker 4: and you know, is this Miles Austin guy ever gonna
- 33:40Speaker 4: do anything? I mean, like like, the eight was just
- 33:43Speaker 4: kind of a mess a little bit and for a
- 33:46Speaker 4: lot of reasons. And it started out three and oh
- 33:50Speaker 4: and did not make the playoffs and had and had
- 33:52Speaker 4: that year had four of the worst losses. If you said, Nick,
- 33:56Speaker 4: what are the ten worst losses in that you've ever experienced?
- 33:59Speaker 4: I put four and from that season on there four
- 34:03Speaker 4: in a row from Froh eight, not in a row.
- 34:05Speaker 4: But I'm just saying four four season four losses there.
- 34:08Speaker 4: It was just a bad, dysfunctional team and it just
- 34:11Speaker 4: it wasn't It wasn't a good setup. Wasn't like a
- 34:14Speaker 4: Mari because they had receivers here, Mari. It was like,
- 34:18Speaker 4: we don't have anybody, so come in here and be
- 34:20Speaker 4: the guy, be the number one.
- 34:21Speaker 6: And it worked out with Roy.
- 34:23Speaker 4: He was trying to figure out his way a little bit,
- 34:25Speaker 4: and you had to O and you had Creighton and
- 34:26Speaker 4: you had you know, Miles Austin, and I feel if
- 34:29Speaker 4: there's somebody else to missing someone, but it just didn't
- 34:33Speaker 4: really work out the same. So but but you know,
- 34:36Speaker 4: it has worked, it has worked, you know. But again,
- 34:40Speaker 4: Roy Williams wasn't the route runner. Mary Cooper is Marik Cooper.
- 34:43Speaker 4: Go into a new place and just he could run
- 34:45Speaker 4: routes better than anybody. He understands things, understands how to
- 34:48Speaker 4: get open and so he's he's probably a better plug
- 34:52Speaker 4: and play type player than maybe Roy was or a
- 34:56Speaker 4: lot of receivers. It's not easy to just come into
- 34:59Speaker 4: a new system and do that.
- 35:00Speaker 19: Yeah, no, that's that's helpful. And then second note, I
- 35:05Speaker 19: had you already mentioned him. I like to look at
- 35:08Speaker 19: our upcoming opponent and kind of ask about who you've
- 35:11Speaker 19: covered that play for both teams. Our man, te O,
- 35:14Speaker 19: get your popcorn ready, any any thoughts stories on him?
- 35:19Speaker 19: And with that will hang up.
- 35:20Speaker 6: All right, all.
- 35:20Speaker 4: Right, we have a photo gallery coming up tomorrow. I
- 35:25Speaker 4: believe it's a rank and we're ranking the best players
- 35:28Speaker 4: to play for both teams. So it's the list of
- 35:32Speaker 4: some good players on there. I mean we're talking Hall
- 35:34Speaker 4: of famers, you know, t O and Larry Allen Dion,
- 35:42Speaker 4: It's probably it might be all of the Hall of
- 35:44Speaker 4: Norton Hall.
- 35:45Speaker 6: Of Famers, Chris, I got it.
- 35:48Speaker 4: Sorry, now, Ken Norton for sure won three straight Super
- 35:52Speaker 4: Bowls with with Cowboys and Niners there in the mid nineties.
- 35:56Speaker 4: But stories on t O, man, yeah, I got, I
- 35:59Speaker 4: got a story for you. Yeah. So I was in Carolina.
- 36:04Speaker 4: I get I get a call. But we're staying at
- 36:07Speaker 4: a hotel that has a basketball court, like on the
- 36:11Speaker 4: second floor of this hotel is a really nice hotel
- 36:13Speaker 4: in Charlotte, and we're playing the Seven playing the Panthers
- 36:16Speaker 4: that night. And a buddy that was with me, I
- 36:20Speaker 4: worked for the local paper. He was like, hey, come
- 36:22Speaker 4: up here now. Like I was like, I'm coming, I'm
- 36:25Speaker 4: be there. He's like, no, come now. So I go
- 36:26Speaker 4: up there. Him and one other guy shooting baskets. It's
- 36:29Speaker 4: t It's like three o'clock now. He's not running drills.
- 36:32Speaker 6: He's just shooting the ball.
- 36:33Speaker 4: He's you know, maybe like one o'clock, two o'clock in
- 36:35Speaker 4: the afternoon, probably just trying to kill some time.
- 36:38Speaker 6: It's pretty cool, just shooting the ball. He was.
- 36:39Speaker 4: He was nice and chatting with us a little bit. Nothing,
- 36:43Speaker 4: nothing crazy, you know, he's got a good shot.
- 36:45Speaker 6: It was all good. But he got hurt that night.
- 36:48Speaker 6: That was the game.
- 36:50Speaker 4: He ended up getting hurt early in the game with
- 36:52Speaker 4: a high ankle sprain and wasn't the same the rest
- 36:54Speaker 4: of the season. Tried to limp through the playoff game,
- 36:57Speaker 4: lost and all that. Again, we didn't play basketball. He
- 37:01Speaker 4: wasn't jumping around or anything. Hopefully that was just a
- 37:04Speaker 4: fluky thing. But yeah, did shoot baskets with t O
- 37:07Speaker 4: the day that he got hurt and basically changed the
- 37:11Speaker 4: seven season. So don't blame me, blame the other guy.
- 37:14Speaker 4: He was the one probably got him hurt. All right,
- 37:16Speaker 4: Let's take a break real quick, on Cowboys storyline. Know

- 39:10Speaker 21: Next Morning, Nick, you got through that not too That
- 39:14Speaker 21: wasn't too bad if.
- 39:15Speaker 4: You could see the train wreck on here. Who writes
- 39:18Speaker 4: in all caps? Seriously, Jonathan Fullerton, what's up.
- 39:21Speaker 21: Budd Not much?
- 39:24Speaker 13: Not much?
- 39:25Speaker 12: Good morning.
- 39:25Speaker 14: It's been a little while since I was able to
- 39:27Speaker 14: call in.
- 39:29Speaker 21: I just wanted to ask a couple of things.
- 39:32Speaker 12: Let's say, in the hypothetical situation that McCarthy has kind
- 39:37Speaker 12: of lost the locker room a bit like no one's
- 39:42Speaker 12: really saying for sure, it's just rumors here and there.
- 39:45Speaker 12: But if that is the situation, is there something he
- 39:50Speaker 12: can do to like get it back?
- 39:53Speaker 21: We all know the last year in his contract. Is
- 39:56Speaker 21: there something he can do till I get it back?
- 39:59Speaker 21: Because we need people to.
- 40:01Speaker 14: Like get checked by these coaches and the coaches.
- 40:04Speaker 21: That whatever they can do.
- 40:06Speaker 6: And one other.
- 40:07Speaker 14: Thing, is it possible that Dalvin Cook's contract is playing
- 40:14Speaker 14: a factor whether or not he gets promoted to the
- 40:20Speaker 14: active roster? Like I was trying to find info on
- 40:23Speaker 14: his contract yesterday. I couldn't find any numbers. I don't know, Like,
- 40:28Speaker 14: is it possible like.
- 40:29Speaker 21: A money saving thing that they could be give him
- 40:33Speaker 21: incentive to not put him on the active roster or
- 40:37Speaker 21: is it just all.
- 40:39Speaker 4: Like on a bunch of other factors.
- 40:41Speaker 17: But I'll hang up and give a listen.
- 40:44Speaker 21: Glad to talk to you for a bit.
- 40:45Speaker 6: Nick, All right, thanks, Jonathan, appreciate that.
- 40:47Speaker 13: You know.
- 40:48Speaker 4: I don't think McCarthy's lost the locker room. I don't
- 40:51Speaker 4: you know, And I don't know if you're saying that
- 40:53Speaker 4: he has. But if you lose games, yeah, that's that's
- 40:57Speaker 4: tough to do. You have to win games. I mean
- 40:59Speaker 4: that's how you typically get it back. I mean that
- 41:01Speaker 4: you have to you have to show that what you're
- 41:04Speaker 4: doing is working. The different things that you're doing, you're
- 41:07Speaker 4: switching it up. You know, maybe this didn't work here,
- 41:10Speaker 4: so you're trying this, flipping this practice schedule here, changing
- 41:15Speaker 4: whatever kind of standards protocols that you have. You have
- 41:18Speaker 4: to show that it's working, and that's that's you know,
- 41:21Speaker 4: and then they have to, you know, buy in as well.
- 41:25Speaker 4: But I don't know if that's necessarily happened just yet.
- 41:28Speaker 4: So I don't I don't. I don't know if I
- 41:30Speaker 4: think we're a little bit too early there. And then
- 41:32Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook's contract, his contract can't be. They have enough
- 41:35Speaker 4: money to do what they need to do for sure,
- 41:37Speaker 4: and so they definitely have enough money to take whatever
- 41:39Speaker 4: that contract was. He didn't have a job, so there's
- 41:42Speaker 4: no way it was some kind of massive contract here.
- 41:45Speaker 4: You're you're last in the league and rushing, so if
- 41:48Speaker 4: he can help the team, it's worth it, that would
- 41:51Speaker 4: I don't think it has anything to do with money
- 41:53Speaker 4: for that, all right.
- 41:54Speaker 6: Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida, Robbie, what's up?
- 41:57Speaker 10: Hey?
- 41:57Speaker 20: Hey Nick?
- 41:58Speaker 8: Are you today?
- 41:58Speaker 6: My briand man? Thanks for holding Yeah.
- 42:01Speaker 8: Man, of course. So I might be a little long winded,
- 42:04Speaker 8: but I'll try to not be too bad. So I
- 42:08Speaker 8: remember in the late eighties early nineties, we did some uh,
- 42:11Speaker 8: some phenomenal trades. You know, we got Charles Haley, we
- 42:14Speaker 8: won a couple of Super Bowls. What's that?
- 42:18Speaker 6: No salary cap? Right?
- 42:20Speaker 8: I was going to say that I would still part
- 42:22Speaker 8: of my day. I know that we had no salary cap.
- 42:25Speaker 6: The floor is yours, go for it.
- 42:28Speaker 8: I know for a fact that if we had no
- 42:30Speaker 8: salary cap right now, we would probably win about fifteen
- 42:33Speaker 8: or twenty more Super Bowls because I know Jerry would
- 42:35Speaker 8: put the money in. I know the salary cap really
- 42:37Speaker 8: changes that a lot. And I know you can't talk
- 42:41Speaker 8: about specific players, and I don't really even have any
- 42:44Speaker 8: in mind, But what position do you think we need
- 42:46Speaker 8: a trade for to get our team going? I mean,
- 42:49Speaker 8: I know we lost five defensive ends. Yeah that's just crazy,
- 42:53Speaker 8: But there's the stories.
- 42:55Speaker 6: There's one right there.
- 42:57Speaker 8: Half back defensive and left right tack. I don't know,
- 43:03Speaker 8: I don't know. I'll hang up and let's your answer.
- 43:06Speaker 8: And I know and I hope that the fact that
- 43:08Speaker 8: I'm right that I think Jerry would spend it, yeah,
- 43:11Speaker 8: after nomical amount of money to win super roles if
- 43:14Speaker 8: we still could. And I wish we I wish we
- 43:15Speaker 8: didn't have a salary cap. That's it, thanks, my friend.
- 43:19Speaker 4: And there's a lot of billionaires out there. They're probably
- 43:21Speaker 4: in the same boat too, you know, like they could,
- 43:23Speaker 4: they would, that's who you'd be fighting with. But be
- 43:27Speaker 4: a baseball situation type thing, you know, but not not.
- 43:30Speaker 4: The Yankees win it every year, but they're up there
- 43:32Speaker 4: a lot, you know. And uh, and that's that would
- 43:36Speaker 4: be it. But that's I don't know that that's good
- 43:39Speaker 4: for for the NFL and that and that's the thing
- 43:41Speaker 4: you got to remember this about Jerry. Jerry knows that
- 43:44Speaker 4: Jerry knows that a salary cap, you know, would be
- 43:47Speaker 4: probably beneficial to this team and the success. He also
- 43:51Speaker 4: knows that it's more important for the it's for the
- 43:53Speaker 4: good of the game to have it like this. I mean,
- 43:56Speaker 4: I mean, to keep the parody the.
- 43:58Speaker 6: Way it is.
- 43:59Speaker 4: It's way better for football because there's teams that are
- 44:02Speaker 4: down that are up now that are back. I mean,
- 44:05Speaker 4: you you you would have teams like like the Lions
- 44:09Speaker 4: and things like that that probably wouldn't have that kind
- 44:11Speaker 4: of success.
- 44:12Speaker 6: So it's good.
- 44:13Speaker 4: It's good for the NFL to have it the way
- 44:14Speaker 4: it is. What position would I would I would start with,
- 44:18Speaker 4: like you said, defensive end. Defensive end would be a
- 44:20Speaker 4: really good position if you can find a player that
- 44:22Speaker 4: can help you again, help you this year, help you
- 44:25Speaker 4: next year because you just look at where the roster is.
- 44:30Speaker 4: So yeah, okay, DeMarcus Lawrence comes back this year, but
- 44:33Speaker 4: next year, what about? What about that? Is he even
- 44:35Speaker 4: going to be here? You know, his contract is going
- 44:37Speaker 4: up and he's got a lot of dead money too.
- 44:39Speaker 4: Wide receiver is another position like that too. So I
- 44:42Speaker 4: don't know if Jalen Tolbert's the answer at number two,
- 44:45Speaker 4: but either way, I mean, you know, and he'd be
- 44:47Speaker 4: going into his fourth year if his God, it's already
- 44:50Speaker 4: been four years for Jalen Tolbert. Uh, I mean if
- 44:52Speaker 4: this is three, but next year would be four. So anyways,
- 44:58Speaker 4: those two positions stand out for me. You know, offensive
- 45:02Speaker 4: line's tricky because you've got young guys. You know, you
- 45:04Speaker 4: just got to develop develop them. So from a trade
- 45:09Speaker 4: deadline standpoint, I would say running back, receiver or maybe
- 45:12Speaker 4: you know, in defensive line tackle or and or pass rusher.
- 45:17Speaker 4: All right, Nigel in Arizona.
- 45:22Speaker 9: Hey Nick, good morning, see you.
- 45:23Speaker 6: How are you doing.
- 45:24Speaker 9: I just want to pick I'm great in yourself, great, good,
- 45:28Speaker 9: great's good? A couple of things. I want to piggyback
- 45:31Speaker 9: off that phone conversation. I don't really think they're going
- 45:36Speaker 9: to pick anybody up. And you know the other shows
- 45:39Speaker 9: that are on dallascowboys dot com. I won't name them
- 45:43Speaker 9: because this is your show, but they've hittingly talked about
- 45:47Speaker 9: a soft rebuild, and really, you know, I believe it.
- 45:51Speaker 9: I don't think we're picking anybody up. I think after
- 45:54Speaker 9: this year we're going to have a new coach, and
- 45:56Speaker 9: I don't think they want to pick players at These
- 45:59Speaker 9: new coaches that have to come in may or may
- 46:01Speaker 9: not want so. I think we're kind of stuck with
- 46:04Speaker 9: what we have. I don't see him going for Miles Garrett.
- 46:07Speaker 9: I mean, I saw three first ones for a thirty
- 46:10Speaker 9: one year old. Forget about it. There really aren't a
- 46:12Speaker 9: lot of other guys out there. And the other thing,
- 46:14Speaker 9: I just wanted to suck them and they'll let you
- 46:16Speaker 9: go is what in hell's name was John Stevens. Nothing.
- 46:22Speaker 9: I haven't seen him in a game.
- 46:25Speaker 6: Yeah, great, Yeah, I haven't seen him yet.
- 46:28Speaker 4: He was on track to to to play and be
- 46:31Speaker 4: you know, I think the second tight end or or
- 46:34Speaker 4: third tight end behind Schoonmaker. But now he hasn't he
- 46:38Speaker 4: hasn't played after he's come back from the injury. I
- 46:42Speaker 4: think they like Brevin span Ford. I mean again, now,
- 46:45Speaker 4: Brevin span Ford is the current version of John Stevens.
- 46:49Speaker 4: I mean that's that's what that was. John Stevens was
- 46:51Speaker 4: undrafted tight end last year, then he got hurt. Brevin
- 46:54Speaker 4: span Ford same thing, you know. And and he's he's
- 46:58Speaker 4: a bigger guy, and you know, he's a pretty good blocker.
- 47:02Speaker 6: He's feisty.
- 47:03Speaker 4: You know, he gets gets in a scuffle here and
- 47:05Speaker 4: there and uh catching the ball. Well, So I think
- 47:08Speaker 4: that they like his development too. They just probably feel
- 47:11Speaker 4: like he's a little bit more of a complete tied end.
- 47:14Speaker 4: We'll see, we'll see. I don't think those guys. Those
- 47:17Speaker 4: guys get banged up. We'll see John Stevens this year,
- 47:20Speaker 4: I think for sure. And then as for the trade
- 47:24Speaker 4: stuff and and will they make a move and soft
- 47:26Speaker 4: rebuild and all that jury's out. The jury is still out.
- 47:30Speaker 4: I think I don't think the Cowboys have given up
- 47:32Speaker 4: on anything this year or or making a move.
- 47:35Speaker 6: It's just got it.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Like I said a thousand times already, it's got to
- 47:38Speaker 4: be a smart move. It's got to make sense more
- 47:41Speaker 4: than just the next couple of months. I mean, if
- 47:43Speaker 4: if they can do something that makes sense for this
- 47:45Speaker 4: football team, then I think that they would be opened
- 47:48Speaker 4: to do it again. You can trade next year's draft
- 47:52Speaker 4: pick if it maybe prevents you from from a glaring need.
- 47:56Speaker 4: Nobody that you're gonna pick up is probably gonna just
- 47:59Speaker 4: say cross that position off the list.
- 48:00Speaker 6: We don't need it. But it might it might lower,
- 48:04Speaker 6: you know, lower the priority a little bit.
- 48:07Speaker 4: And I think that's something that that I think would
- 48:10Speaker 4: make sense to me. And I said that earlier in
- 48:11Speaker 4: the show as well. If you're gonna if you're gonna
- 48:13Speaker 4: get a position, you're gonna get a receiver. Okay, that
- 48:16Speaker 4: doesn't mean you wouldn't draft one next year, but maybe
- 48:19Speaker 4: not draft one as high. You don't have the same
- 48:21Speaker 4: need to do that. So uh, that's what I think
- 48:23Speaker 4: the Cowboys should be looking at is see see what
- 48:26Speaker 4: kind of moves makes sense for this year and beyond.
- 48:29Speaker 4: And then you know, if it's somebody that can be
- 48:30Speaker 4: a plug and play player, you know, somebody that can
- 48:33Speaker 4: come in understand what they're trying to do and knows
- 48:35Speaker 4: the system a little bit or could could pick it
- 48:37Speaker 4: up quickly and can help right away. Then I think
- 48:40Speaker 4: it would make sense, and I think the Cowboys would
- 48:42Speaker 4: not be opposed to doing that. But again, it's got
- 48:45Speaker 4: to be it's got to be smart. It's got to
- 48:46Speaker 4: be the something that fits, you know, right now, in
- 48:50Speaker 4: a little bit past that, all right, good show, guys,
- 48:53Speaker 4: We've got about eleven callers today.
- 48:54Speaker 6: I'm not bad at all.
- 48:56Speaker 4: We'll be back tomorrow and talk a little bit more
- 48:58Speaker 4: about the Cowboys and forty nine ers and trades and
- 49:02Speaker 4: stuff like that. Let you guys handle that good stuff,
- 49:05Speaker 4: all right. For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman. We will
