  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: here Thursday, February, the twenty ninth Leap year. Leap Day,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I guess is what it's called. I don't see that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: many February twenty ninths once every four years, you know.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking, what will the team look
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: like the next time we have a February twenty ninth show.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the last last four years, I mean,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it was kind of some of the same guys, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously things will look much different in four years.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Always does so kind of interesting. I wonder if anyone
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: any callers their birthday is today, that would be cool.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know it's it cool to have a
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: birthday on February twenty ninth. I don't know anyways, all right,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot to talk about. As always, well,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: even if we don't we figure it out, we'll talk
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: about different things, you know, with the Cowboys. Last week
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: or two days ago when we did the show, Steven
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Jones had just talked to the media and Jerry Jones
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is supposed to talk on Friday, so tomorrow he'll be, uh,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you know, given his thoughts on what's about to happen
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in free agency, and you know, who knows if he
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: gives away certain things that that you know, the plans
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that the team might be having it usually they don't,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: but still always good to to you know, hear from Jerry.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So that will be tomorrow, and then a lot going
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on at the combine, you know, Cowboys meeting with certain
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: players and different guys out there, so you know, we
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: know what they need in some positions, but still free
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: agency will kind of, you know, determine some of that,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know, with with the Cowboys, you know, they usually
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: just kind of put band aids on positions in free agency.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But if who knows, you know, we'll see what all
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: inn really means. Maybe that means they're going to go
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: out and be a little bit more aggressive, and if
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they are more aggressive at certain positions, you know, maybe
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you get a player that that will come in and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: solidify that spot immediately. We just haven't seen that happen
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: for a while. Gilmour kind of did at cornerback, but
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: but you know, not really not like the number one
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: player at that position. You know, Brandon Cooks helped as well,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and that was sort of you know, those are trades
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in free agency. Maybe the Cowboys have something like that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that they're working on as well. All right, eight eight
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: eight eight five five two two ninety seven is the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: number to call and get that text lined up there
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: as well. I haven't memorized that one, but we'll get
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: text messages as well. We'll start off with the calls
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Travis and san Antonio.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Heybody, what's going on?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, how are you good?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: How's your week?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Bend's doing good? Good, doing great? What's going on with you?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Just getting ready to one to give you a call?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Getting ready to watch the com I know they had
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: some formal visits, so some some Michigan players, which I
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: know everybody everybody loves, but I'm the Michigan guy, so
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I don't mind it. But I'm looking forward to kind
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: of watching some of the guys the tests that did
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: they did the interviews with. But I wanted to get
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: your thoughts on this, and it's not it's it's not
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: a Dak thing. It's this I know. We just had
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: a cap go up, but the quarterback money, like, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: don't know if it's ever going to get to a
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: point with Like I just wonder with like the running
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: back situation where you know that running backs, it got
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: to a point where they were like, well, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: we can't pay a running back X, Y, and Z
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: because this is just it's just not worth it. And like,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: yet we paid quarterback, We're going to pay a quarterback
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: at some point they're gonna start paying up sixty two
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: seventy million dollars a year, and I don't think any
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: of them are worth it, even other than Patrick Mahomes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: And even when he signed his last deal, it was
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: like that forty five million dollar deal, but it was
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: ten years, so he gave them a lot of flexibility
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: to keep doing stuff. I know he just got an extension,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: but so I just wonder, like if you ever thought, like,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: are we ever going to get to a point where
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the league may go, can we can we just uncap
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: and just not count the quarterback position to the cap?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Like is that would that ever? Is that ever going
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: to be a possibility, because it's I feel like at
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: a certain point, even though cat is going up, it
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: might get to a point where quarterbacks are starting to
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: hinder like the ability to like make teams good, if
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: that makes sense, you know what I'm saying.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't agree, but I do know what you're saying.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't agree with that. I mean,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. That's that's why you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: have people to kind of figure this out. It also
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on the actual quarterback. I mean,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it kind of makes the position sort of what it is.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that would look like if you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: didn't have a cap for a quarterback.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: But I just wonder if that's even, if that's even
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: it's just an outside the box. I don't think it's
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: ever going to happen. Yeah, we've had a lot of conversations.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I was thought, like because of Delate so much, Right,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: it's like if there was one position that owners could go,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: you know what, they're gonna get paid to, like, pay
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: your quarterback as much as you want. I don't, I don't.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: We don't care. Like, if you're gonna commit to the guy,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: pay him as much as you want, and then you
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: can deal with the here's the rest of the cap.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: For the rest of the team. I don't know if
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: that would just make things easier, but there's just a thought.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so interesting. I mean, what happened with San Francisco.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: What would happen when you have a guy, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like like brock Party that comes in.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe, well if you if you draft a guy like that,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: then that's like, that's like your bonus, right until you
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: have to pay him, because that's just if you don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: have to pay him a bunch of money, then you don't,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: then you get to spend that elsewhere. So they would
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: still get that advantage, right if you draft a guy,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: but yeah, decide to pay him. It's like pay whatever
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: you want. But it doesn't affect the team because I
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: already heard Steven Jones say the thing that I hate
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: he says the most where he says like the cap
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: is real for us, which I know it literally is,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: but it's just make me question already the whole we're
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: all in.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, I mean that's that's a big
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: question too. And and we we know, thanks for the call, Travis.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We know that they're not going to be all in
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the way that that some people think they're going to be.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, that's or or or hoping that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: they will be. Uh, it's not going to be. It's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it's not it's not going to be that way. It's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: not going to be. They're not going to be as
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: aggressive as you as you would think. I think that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they'll I think they'll do more, and I think they
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: have if you go back and look the last couple
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of years, they have done a little bit more and more.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I think with McCarthy, they have gotten more, more players,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: more veteran guys, you know, the well known players you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: know maybe at the end of their career that some
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of them helped, some of them really didn't so much.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, they they are trying to add players,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you know, to this team, and they have like even
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: during the season, look two years ago, look at it
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: last year. You know, they'll they'll add some some guys
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in there. But that's not really an all in approach.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But we'll we'll see, we'll see what happens in free agency.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have to be more aggressive. They have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to do that. And I just think that's another way too.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's like what you've done for so many years hasn't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: really worked. It hasn't been the ultimate payoff. So you're
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: not changing the people making the decisions. So why don't
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you change a little bit of the philosophy on how
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: they how they build the team? You know a little bit.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's still through the draft, but that doesn't mean every
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: now and again, every every few years. You can't say,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: all right, we have specific needs and free agency, let's go,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: let's go that route. So we'll see. All right, let's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: go to Ray and Fort Worth as our next call.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: How you doing? Man?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: I'm doing great? So thanks for having this show.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard from you. Wow, I've heard from you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: way way back in the day, but I haven't heard
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in a while. You call some other shows, Yeah no.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: They don't have much to call in. But I've been listening.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: So a couple of I need to get I'm gonna
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: be try to be fast. So a couple of weeks
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: I heard of caller basically telling Michael to stay offf
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: social media, basically saying play football and shut up. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: here's the deal. We always want these players to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: open and honest and take a leadership road, but when
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: they do, you have a problem. I have zero problems
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: with Michael Parsons said about Tank Lawrence. You know why,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: because Tank Lawrence likes to run his mouth. When they
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: do good, we kick him. When they're down, we kick
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: him again, and we kick them again, and then he
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: comes out makes an excuse like, oh, we're tired. I'm
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: sure Green Bay was tired when they kicked your tail.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: I'm tired. I'm sure fans are tired of spending big
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: money for tickets and come out and you put a
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: problem a product.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: Like that out.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Now. I have zero problems with him. Second part, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: think we're eliminating Michael Parsons by just playing them at
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: defensive end. I think it's capable of so much more.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: I think he I think we can. You know, maybe
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: you give him the dot. Let's see what's going on.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I'd like to see him out there because I think
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: we're limiting him. But he can. He can actually cover players.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: You know, you were were just limiting his speed. We're
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: just playing them at defensive end. And that's why teams
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: starts saying just just don't block him, just don't block him.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: He we're just limiting him.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: We want to.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: He's got so much more potential. When his rookie year
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: we did that, he played linebacker. I even went back
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: and so I saw him cover a receiver when he
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Recognizedho's coming out there. I just think we're limiting him
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: just playing defense in hopefully Zimmer let's open up and
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: take more advantage of it. I don't know what all
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: that means, but it's at some point you gotta gotta
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: do something because just regularly season, just regular season, Okay,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: well that that doesn't mean anything if you're going on
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: and done in the playoffs. But I love the team
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: and I'm still following in. Thank you for having this show, all.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Right, thanks very appreciate that. A couple of things on Micah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You're right about about you know, there are a lot
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of people that that they'll criticize you for not saying anything. Oh,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you never talks. He doesn't say anything never. You know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: he's not a leader because he doesn't open up in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the locker room or whatever. And then when and then
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: when they do, then you know, then that's subject to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: being criticized as well. But I think we all know
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that though that he's getting he's getting a little too
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: much with with some of the things that he says,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: especially if it's coming back to his own his own teammates,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and so I cause you cause, I mean, doesn't matter
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: if it's true or not. I mean that that's not
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the point. I mean, we know we don't we don't
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: do that in our lives. Oh well that's true. Well
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean to say it. Okay, that's something you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: have to teach little kids and that kind of stuff,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about teammates, because that that becomes
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a different problem inside the locker room with chemistry and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So I definitely think that Mica
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: needs to be a little bit more careful with some
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of the things that he says. Now when you're talking
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: about limiting him at defensive end linebacker, you know, I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's not limiting himself with with what
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he wants to do and how he wants to where
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he wants to play, and what kind of statistics that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know that that brings. I mean, guys, I think
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Fred Warner is one of the best players in football.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, and he he is. He is a difference maker.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: He is a great player and always seems to kill
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and and he's he's doing it from from
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that position. So I'm not saying that you can't be
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a great player from there, and maybe Micah could be
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that type of guy. I think he's He's made it
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: very clear he likes to get pressures and likes to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: get sacks. But but I'm I'm anxious to see what
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Zimmer is going to be able to do with him,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and you know it'll be aggressive without a doubt. But
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: but again, they're gonna need to get some help on
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the other side there. If he's not rushing the passer,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: then who is, you know, because they're losing it. Well
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I say losing. They got some free agents, probably not
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: going to keep them all defensive end, so they're gonna
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: need people to rush the past or for sure. But
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: so I like your points. I do think though, when
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: it comes to, you know, being vocal, I mean, he's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: got he's got to kind of pick his spots a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit more there because he's it's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: definitely definitely potentially rubbing people the wrong way, all right
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in his own teammates. All right, lines are open right now?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Eight aight, aight, eight five, five, two two nine seven.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I hear that all the time, Like I called one
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: hundred times in a row. I think you'd call one
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: time in a row and if that's a thing, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you know, you should be able to get in like
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: like Mike from Boston. He's sending text message here, man,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I wish Mike would call because we still have that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: one state Massachusetts that we've never had a call from.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But Mike from Boston, what do you see? Uh post
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones doubt Dallas Cowboys team looking like they finally
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: give Will McLay the general manage. Okay, And I'm gonna
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: stop right there. I'most stop because it's the same with
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the question that that Travis had about you know what
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a salary cap with no with you know that doesn't
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: include the quarterbacks. I'm not even going there. I'm not.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not happening. That that's not going to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: be the thing. And I don't want to I don't
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: want to go down that road. And even even say
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: all that. So he does say Macho Man and Miss
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth were his favorite wrestlers so or and you know
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: they were kind of a tandem there. I guess they
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: were married. Uh yeah, the Macho Man he was he
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was the best for sure. But uh, you know, Jerry's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the gym Jerry's the GM of the team, and that's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: what it is this year. That's what we care about.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Care about what the salary cap looks like this year,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: what free agency looks like, how this team gets better.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That should be the focus. Getting too far beyond that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: really doesn't make a lot of sense for me. Let's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: go to another text question. This is Kevin from Virginia.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: He says, do you believe it's a feasi it's feasible
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to bring in Derrick Henry or say
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley, Uh, that type of free agent and Tony
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Pollard as the backup to them. Well, probably not because
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of money in that position. And I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: just don't see, you know, because Pollard is included in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that group now like nationally now he's maybe not one
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of the top, but he's he's in that group, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he was franchised last year's well had a thousand yards rushing.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't a great season, but he was.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: He's still productive and he's going to be considered in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that he's the in that next tier. So I just
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: don't see the Cowboys getting a Tier one and a
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Tier two type running back when when they they probably
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: can draft one and he immediately can get into that
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that second level, maybe even the first, depending on who
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: they get. So I don't really see that happening. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: think if they strike out on getting one of the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: top back and then Pollard's still there and hasn't signed, yeah,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a situation. I mean, Mike
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: McCarthy has said it that he wants him back, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I think Steven and jerryl both say that,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: but Steven kind of made it sound like, yeah, we
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: like him, but let's see what happens in the market.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So you know, they have they have the ability to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: sign them now, but you're getting this close to free agency.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You know, the players are going to see what they're worth.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And I don't blame them for that. All right, let's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: go Chris in New York.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: How you doing man?
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: I'm good, I'm good. I've been listening to you for
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: for a little while now, first time actually getting a
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: call list.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: We go nice.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: All right, Yeah, so one or two, you know, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: I think it's kind of been you know, talked about
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: so much about Micah talking in the off season, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: it potentially could rub some people in the locker room
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: the wrong way. I think that's totally fair, and I
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: think it's you know, it's possible feedback. But at the
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: end of the day, you know, I love Tank, love him.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: It's been with the team a long time, but you
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: would think for a guy been there ten years, he
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: would have had something better to say coming on national TV.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And it's like, especially with the biggest Cowboys hater sitting
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: there right next to I say, hater, I mean he's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a fake hater, but you know what I mean, Yeah,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: he plays the part.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, He's pushing the Cowboys stories the same way
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: that a lot of the media does.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: Right, they're capitalizing as well.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: So it's just like, you know, you expect him to
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: be a leader because he's been there ten years, because
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: he's a great player, but for him to come on
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: TV and say that, it's like, man, I have to
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: question how much of a leader he actually is. Obvious
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: obviously I don't have purview into the locker room and
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: how things are done, but you know, the when Micah
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: talks about wanting to change culture or that there needs
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: to be a culture shift, I think that right there
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: is a glaring example of a situation where a veteran
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: guy goes on TV and says literally the worst thing
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: that you could say, you know, and basically everyone's got
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: to respond.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: To that, now, you know, Yeah, and yeah, I've been
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: asked about it a couple of times. I don't have
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: a great answer. I'm just I just, like I've said,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: his what he's put out there, his his product on
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the field has been way better than that, and hasn't been.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: He's not been really an excuse guy or anything like that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So I just tend to believe that that's not really
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: what he meant to say. It came out horribly wrong
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: for what he the type of player in person that
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: he is, So if this was his first or second year,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you'd wonder a little bit about him. He's played ten years,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: he's given, he's given everything he has, and he's not
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: really a me guy. He stops the run, he knows
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: how to you know, sacrifice his body to get in
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: there and make these big plays. He understands the importance
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: So he, you know, he's a great guy. And honestly,
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: when when I heard a few, you know, before he
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: got his last extension that he was and I don't
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: know how true it is, but he was already out
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: the door essentially when Jerry calls him back in and
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: they get that three year extension done, you know, it's like, man,
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: we want that guy on our team because he's a great,
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: great player. But I'll say this and then I'll drop,
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: you know. You know, people can have their opinions about
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Mike's podcast. I don't listen to it during the season,
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: but the stuff after the season has actually been really
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: I thought it was really cool because, you know, if
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: people are getting sour about Jordan Love telling Michael Parsons
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: to his face the same stuff that we all see,
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: I think that we need to look at ourselves and
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: know that we can, we should be able to take
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: that type of criticism. But I would love to see
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Tank get in front and talk with Mike because I
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: want to hear from the two people who are some
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: of our best players what their plan is for next year,
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: you know, and that's a great way to kind of
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: settle down the hole. There's a problems within the locker room,
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: but we'll see how that goes with it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you this though, Chris, because you
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: said we should look at ourselves if we have a
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: problem with him saying what we already know, right, So
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're saying, is we already saw that,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love, you don't we don't need you to say that,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: right because we saw that what they did and how they.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Jordan Love saying like, hey, we can run the ball
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: on right, right, And then I think, go.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Ahead, no, no, you're right, you're you're saying the same
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: thing like we What you're saying is is we ultimately
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: really didn't need him to say that. We kind of
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: knew that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: Right, right, But it seemed like, so.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Why put him on the podcast?
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: Well, I don't.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: I think that that's him making content think that people
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: within the front office should have done a better job
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: of actually addressing, you know, the middle of the field.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Jordan Love says that, you know he's not making it
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: taken a shot, but you guys had a DV playing
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: a linebacker, like we all saw that. We saw that
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: he was undersized. It was literally a talking point. Yeah,
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: it work all year, you know, I mean once once
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: Leyton vander ash went down, there should have been a
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: real move And yeah, they tried to get Shack Leonard,
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: but you try and get somebody else, you put some
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: more people in there, and it's a I think for
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: you know, a fan watching outside, you hear them saying,
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: you know, we like our guys or like our guys.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: It's like, sometimes we can get better. And we may
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: like the players that we have, and we we may
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: love them, but sometimes we can get better, and we should.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: We should be doing things to get better and not
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: just leaving them status quo.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, thanks for the call, Chris, first time,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: first time call it Chris, New York. So appreciate that.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Let's get Let's get on to the next caller. And
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I asked for it and I got it. All right,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: here we go, Mike from Boston.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: I want to start the conversation by saying, you kind
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: of pooh poohed my Will McClay being a GM. I
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: don't mean, but I want Jerry gone.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Let's ask it differently then I get it. Let's let's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: ask it a little different than that, because that's not
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the case, like like hypothetically and all that kind of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I don't now we're getting into we're getting into the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: touchy subjects. Let'sn't. Let's don't. Let's ask it won't go down. Okay,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: First of all, hold on, hold on, let's get it started.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: First time caller, right, we know what that means. You
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: got your own drop. I love it all right, and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you text a lot, you text on the text line,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: so it's good to have you. I can't believe that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: this has been our first call from Massachusetts, not like
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this is a small state.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: So let me let me tell you. I'm a Yankee
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: fan too, growing up in Boston, but I loved Dellas
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: more than the Yankees. You and I have so much
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: in common that even Chris Bean, I love you guys.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Let me meet you and Chris ever one out like
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: Drank Miller likes Dallas cowboy you know, beverage.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: It would be fun. And I'll tell you why, because
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you can throw some hands. Because if you're
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a Yankees fan in Boston and a Cowboys fan, you
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: probably had an altercation or six in your life, maybe nightly,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, of course it was Beam. You know Beam?
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Can you know he can?
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: I got to have the owner of the nightclub let
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: me out the back to it, because I got in
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: a fight over Derek Jeter, someone calling him a derogatory name.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: I won't say it on the air, thank you. And
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: I was just d mine in my own business. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: I had a Yankee hat on after the game.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: But anyway, well, okay, you can't talk about Jeter that way.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Who who's the cowboy player that would get you in
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: a fist fight if they said something Michael.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Time about his about his problems. I always got it
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: in high school. I'm the same age as you. So
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: I was in high school during the glory days.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: That's great, Yeah, that's good.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: I met michaelob And in Fort Laud and I used
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: to live.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: In what time of night? What what time of night
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: was you?
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: It was at a nightclub. I won't you let me
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: try a Super Bowl ring on?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Cool?
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I have a picture of it. Yeah, it's on my
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: one of my cages.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: But anyway, what's.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Your favorite rock band? You must have like an eighties
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: band that nobody else really likes. Still, but you still
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: because you're loyal.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I can tell eighties rock band, you know what's funny?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I don't know about eighties
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: rock band. But I have heard living on a prayer
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: two days in a row. Now I wonder, I wonder
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: what's going on there? But two different days, like the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: last two times I got in my car living on,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a prayer was on. It's not like I'm jamming to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: eighties music either, So I don't I don't know. I'm
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit of everything.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: Kiss. I've seen Kiss twenty two times.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: You and I, you and I aren't exactly the same.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Then I would tell you that, because that's twenty three
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: more times than I would want to see them.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: I had an older brother who kind of put me into.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It, all right, But what's going on with this team? Mike?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: What's going on? So ask that question differently about about
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Will McLay. Wait, wait, what do you think about Will that?
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: That?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: You do? You like that? You think he's somebody that
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: should take over a little bit more.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: I just feel like he's the silent potner in the
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: nightclub that never gets to tell people he owns the club.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: It's always the loud. And I love Jerry Jones. I
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: can't get enough of him. I live in Boston, I
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: do taxes for a living. It's tax season right now.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: I am slammed. I listen to all your pluck.
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: I can't give enough.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: I listened to his interviews on one oh five three.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, my family's been some insane.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: My tax got to call me back. I wonder if
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: he's listening to some like Patriots podcast or something like that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: No, my parents have season tickets at Patriots when the
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: Cowboys have been coming kind of a lot lately. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: went to see Dallas and you know, the Patriots in
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Dallas a couple of times in the last five years.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: So it's nice we finally beat the Patriots. Yeah, but
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: I have a couple more things.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: I'll let you go.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: So the fifteen, we just need some tougher guys. We
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: need eleven Caig Fertisons on offense because he's a bad
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: you know what ye like, he's a tough kid from Wiscon.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean, Like he knows how to
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: play football. Dak is overpaid, but you have to overpay
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: the quarterbacks. What are you going to do? I'm curious,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: do you hear anything about Trey Lance? You can answer
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: that when we hand out. I mean, is he getting
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: any better? Because we did give up a pretty good
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: pick for him, right, I mean people say fourth round pick.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: We found some dandies in the fourth round. Second round not.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: So much, but well, I mean, don't forget about your
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: all pro cornerback that had eleven picks. I mean, you know, oh.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I forgot that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Get I forget he's the second round.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I mean sometimes we kind of lump those guys in together,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: those guys, you know that with the risk involved and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: all that, and and and injured or what Jaylen Smith
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: type and all that. But I mean, no, Trey, I
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: mean Trayvon Davis was as well. He's the exception to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the rule.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: He fizzled. He had that one game in New Orleans,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: him and vander USh was drilling people. Do you remember
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: that game that was in the Superdome?
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So I'm gonna list favorite rustler, macho man, and
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Miss Elizabeth. She was so beautiful, wasn't she. What a
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: lovely lady and obscure not obscure cowboy. But my brother
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: and I used to always laugh. Brock Marion used to
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: always make it seem like he just missed the tackle.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: He would always get up and like punch his arms,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: and my brother and I like, we have that weird
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: sense of humor. My brother's like, is it me that
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: he always looked like act like he just missed the tackle,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, no one else hasn't noticed things like that,
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: But he would always get up.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: And just like looked like he was frustrated.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: And he was a good player, don't get me wrong,
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: but yeah, in fact, I never missed any Cowboy games.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: And this is before the Internet. I used to go
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: to any sports bar I could find to see them
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: on the satellite. I mean I was I wasn't even
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: of age, and I'd be at bozz trying to find
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys against you know, name some you know, you
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: know what team. Yeah, And so you and I are
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: a lot of like, I know you don't like chess,
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: but you you loyal, you love your rockinsaw rays the
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: background by Miami Hurricanes, you know the college football team.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: You can kind of see the trend with me, the
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: glamorous teams.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Hurricanes, right right? Yeah. Well you're also like, like,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it seemed like you like to piss off the fan
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: base there because I bet you the BC Eagles don't
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: really like Miami. You know what Boston and the Yankees do.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: And then you know, no one likes the Cowboys unless
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: you're a Cowboy fan. So there you go. Yeah, we
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: go hang out at the bar. You just don't get
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to find you.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: If I have a come back, I'm actually good. I
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: thought about moving there.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: All right, Well there's people do that every day, but uh,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I'm good if I if there was any sporting like
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: venue that I would just get to one game, anything
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: like you know, the Masters or any stadium. It's Fenway Park.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I have to go to Finway Park, and I have
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to sit in the third base side like I need
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: to be. The wall needs to be right over here
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: by me. So I'm gonna do that. At some point,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: I took all right, Mike practice, Oh wow, if you
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: donated money, they let you get two swings. And I
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: played college baseball. I brought an aluminum bat and I
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: hit it off the wall.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: But I was in my late twenties. I hadn't played
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: in a while.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, Mike Nick, I love you.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: Christine go Cowboys.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: There you go. Thanks, And with that we're complete. Fifty states.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Took a little bit for that for that fiftieth one,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't have ever guessed that Massage Chusetts was
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the one. But but that's pretty awesome. We got fifty states.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: We found out the other day that we had were
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: sitting at nine hundred and ninety nine calls. Nine hundred
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and ninety nine calls. And then the next show and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I actually forgot to bring it up. But the next
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: show it was lat It was a week ago. The
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: show started off with Joe and Stanford, who hasn't called yet,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: but he was the one thousandth one thousandth call. I
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: can't say that quickly. He had one thousand calls and
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: it was him. So now we're sitting a little bit
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: more than that, you know, But now it took us
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: to get a thousand to get Mike from Boston. Love
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: it great call again, A lot of good stuff there,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: all right, Alan in Idaho, Idaho before Massachusetts was his
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: first time call.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: No, this is a second time called a little while back.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, I know we had some calls from Idaho, but
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't know which one. But I guarantee we he
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: didn't give you the here we go, so we'll give
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: it to you. If Chris is paying attention, he might
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: be on the phone. That's fine, my Allan, what's up man,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I'm on the phone.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I'll take it. At the end it's all good.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: We'll take it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: So I'm a huge fan of Dak. I understand he's
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: got his limitations. Playoff game. I don't know there's one
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: person that actually looked good during that whole thing. So
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I think they do get that contract redone and all
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: that stuff. I think he's good to go. I think,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: you know, being almost an MVP. Just give him a
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: run game and let's see what he actually does in
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: the second year under McCarthy. So I like all that.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: My big question is is what are we going to
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: do with that backup now? Because we've got two guys,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: if I understand correctly, are pretty much on one year
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: deals each.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the backup to which position?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: The backup? Qbah?
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Backup? QB. I'm sorry, I thought you was talking about
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: running Bay. Oh No, you know that answers. The last
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: caller kind of talked about Trey Lance as well. I
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I think that his progression would be to be the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: be the backup this year, and that you could save
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: some money if you released Cooper Rush. But he's got
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to be ready. He's got to be ready to do
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: that that if you you draft the guy or you
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: trade a fourth round pick for him. You know, last
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: year he just kind of sat and learned the offense.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: He should be ready to be the backup at least,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: So I think that that should be the direction that
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I would want to go his look at the offseason,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: see what happens. And you know, Cooper Rush could be
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: a June one release, honestly, but I think I think
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you got to start getting Trey Lance at least ready
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: to be the backup.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, And I guess that would be My question,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: is you gave up a fourth forum the balls out.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: There's no way you're resigning them. I can't imagine because someone,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: you know, a free agency, You've already got your starring quarterback.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: We wait, when does he ball out?
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Well, it's going to have to be pre season for sure.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean then you then he's your backup and
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean you know, I mean I think
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: he would be your backup quarterback. And then well, then
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: what happens with Dak I mean, like they have options.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, would be the worst thing in the world
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to have. But you know, and if Cooper Rush's still here,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's something maybe you can trade him,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you trade him and get a pickback or
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: something like that. So you know you want them to
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: play well and and that just gives you more options.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I was just like the way the
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: seasons started last year with Dak It's like, all right,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I could see them kind of looking at this spending
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: a fourth round, that's a good deal. But if you
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: do end up giving back that contract and you wasted
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: kind of a fourth round on the guy, especially when
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: you kind of here with this draft, everyone's talking about
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: that that middle rounds, they're they're awesome, you know, and
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: you kind of almost want that. But I guess it
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: was just kind of serious what your thoughts were on
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that and just kind of how they how they navigate that,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: and you know, did we waste the pick or or
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: draft pick or whatever.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean I I think that you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: they're just giving yourself more options than Thanks for the call, Alan,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. You got to remember too, there you go,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: it gets just here we go. Yeah, we'll make exceptions.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I know we weren't doing that when he called the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: first time around. So and you know, we don't get
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: too many calls from Idaho. We need to that's another
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: place that wouldn't mind going. I mean, we almost did
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a documentary about Boise State just because there was a
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: time there when there was about five five players and
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: a coach I m kellen Moore was it. I mean,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: when you know, it's like what's going on Boise you know,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: let's let's go check this place out. But uh, it
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: didn't materialize. But still it's kind of a fascinating place
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: for me. I'd like to go see it sometime. But
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: you gotta remember too, about that trade with Trey Lance,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: like that didn't have the season, and I mean that
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: was in preseason. He was coming off the season where
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: you know, he led the league in the interceptions and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and and missed a few games. So it wasn't it
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't his best year at all. Now he now he did.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: He did have a nice game in the playoffs against
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Tampa and but but still, like you're trying to just
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you know, if you have a chance to get a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: player like Trey Lance and trade a fourth round pick
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: for him, you know they they probably scouted him very highly,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: so you know this was just a kind of a
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: free look. I mean I say free, it's a fourth
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: round pick, but to get a player like that to
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: or at least try to develop him, and they're not
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: in any hurry with him, So I think that that's
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what the mindset was. Then Dak goes
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: out and has an outstanding year and this was second
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: in the MVP voting, so that I just think you
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: got to remember, you know that they made that that
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: trade to kind of cover themselves and now you know,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: we'll see. But if he if he can move himself
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: into the backup role, that I think that shows pretty
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: good progress us for where he is in his career
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: in his development. All right, Derek and Seattle, Hey, Derek.
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: Hey there, Hey, just wanted to get your insight on
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: two things real quick. I'm hearing that there's no maybe
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: linebackers that are worthy to be taken in the first round,
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: but I feel like we got to get a stud
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: linebacker over an interior defensive lineman. So I want your
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: thoughts on that. Which would you pick in the first
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: round and then second? Now I don't watch all the tape,
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: but I watch every Cowboy game. Dallas's run game. We
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: both agree they got to improve it, but man, it
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: seems so vanilla to me. It seems like they run
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: three types of runs. And I watch all these other
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: teams and they're running beautiful trap plays and pulling guards
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: and just so creative. And I don't know if that's
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: McCarthy or what, but maybe it's not true. But to me,
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: good grief, their runs look exactly the same every time.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: So get on. Well, I don't know if I agree
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: with that. Thanks for the call. I mean, like, you know,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's very normal to kind of think, because
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: you watch them so much, you kind of think, oh,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: they all look the same. I've never thought that, honestly,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I've never thought that the runs look look the same.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I see, I see some creativity in there.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I see, you know, definitely see some receivers running the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: ball and on jet sweeps and reverses and things like that.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I see, I see the pitches. I see
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the traps. I see that, you know, the you know,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: the dives right up the mill. I mean, I don't know,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I see that. I just don't
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: think they they block as well as they should, you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: And I and I think I don't think Tony Pollard
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: is the best at dragging the ball, you know, the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: pile for three or four yards. I mean, why would
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: he be you know, I mean, that's just not the
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: type of runner he is. And I think the team
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: can be better at the scheme. I think the blocking
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: schemes can can get better. So you know, do they
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: need to get a running back to improve it? Do
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: they need to get better scheme? So they need to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: get better blockers up front? I'd say yes, yes, yes
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to all of that. So but but and then to
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: answer your first question, linebacker defensive tackle in the first round.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I meant at twenty four, if you pick it twenty four,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: you know, somebody desperately wants this pick, and you're and
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you've got five six guys that
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: you're that you kind of like, hey, I'd trade back.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I'd pick up a third or second or for you know,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: for whatever, because you know you're not you don't have
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: until before the cop picks have been you know, come out.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Yet you don't have a fourth, fifth, or six right now.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: So I could see them trading back unless they are
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: sitting in the war room and going, can you believe
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: this guy hasn't been picked? We had him as our
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: fifth best player and he's still there. What's wrong? Carl
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: did he do something? Is he in trouble? What happens
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: he heard? I mean, I'm sure that that was the
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff happening. When CD Lamb was falling. They
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: weren't going to take c. D. Lamb at seventeen. There's
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: no way he's not gonna get past ten. But he
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: did and he still does. And then you call and
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: make sure that you know everything's good and uh and
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you and you change your draft board. So at twenty
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: four that could happen. So just leave all those options open.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's not a linebacker, maybe it's not defensive tackle,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a position we're not even talking about, but
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: it's just their their best player. But you do that
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: if you take care of business in free agency and
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: get and make sure that you get, you know, quality
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: players that can kind of fill these positions. All right,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: let's go to Joe in Stamford, Joe Hey.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: One thousand color. I'd say that's probably pretty poetic.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: What do you think I mean, if anybody was going
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to do it, I mean it would be you because
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you've called. I think you're in
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the top three of all time calls, especially early on
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you were calling a lot. You were the kind of
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: carrying this thing. I thought you were number one. I
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: had to go back and review the tape. I thought
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: you would be number one, but you weren't. And ironically,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the person that did call first has never called again.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that's funny.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know. I had that gap there of
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: about three or four weeks where the cowboys were sort
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: of struggling and I was sort of struggling to get
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: up out of bed to call at ten am. But
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I sure have enjoyed it, Nick, I've enjoyed this show
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: a great deal. I appreciate that really has given me
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: something to look forward to. Honestly, I wasn't going to
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: call the day and then you said that I was
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: a thousandth caller, and I was like, well, that's a badass.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I got a call.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I called you out, so that means you had to call.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, Well, we appreciate you absolutely.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Well. I appreciate you too, brother. I think what you're
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: doing is great. So we were talking about free agency
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: and and what we can fill in, what we should
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: draft for. I'm looking right now at the running backs
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: available in free agency, and I think with the expansion
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: of the salary cap. I think, like you were saying
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: the other day, I think it's a no brainer that
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: we pick up one of these good backs. Any of
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: the top three or four would be great. I don't
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: know about Pollard frankly, it depends on how much we pay,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: but definitely Barkley, Henry, Jacob's all really good choices. In
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: my opinion, I sort of lean towards Henry, but I
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: think that we might have to pay him or Barkley
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: the most. I think we could do that. Running backs,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: even at their top of what they're going to get paid,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: is not a salary cap killer, especially if we're trying
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: to actually get markedly better for this year. So I
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: think it's a no brainer. I think we're definitely gonna
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: do that. It definitely feel as a whole. As far
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: as the draft, you know, we always do better when
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: we picked the best player available. Last year, we reached
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: for holes in the roster and we saw what happened.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Now remains to be seen about those two young men.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: They may end up being great. I don't really think so,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: but they could be serviceable.
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: We'll see.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: But we always do better when no matter what we
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: make it happen with the best player available. So I
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: hope that's what we do.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks for the call, Joe. I mean,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: let me say this about about that though, you know,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I think I just said it a few minutes ago.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Best player available works when you're in a position to
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: do that, When you're in position to take the best
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: player available, then you then you you know, you can
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: do that. But if you don't, if you have some
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: holes and you know, and it's easier to say that
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: too when you kind of you're looking at the entire thing, okay,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: and you're like, the best player available is a is
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: a linebacker. You know, let's say, but there's seven linebackers
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: we like that are the first you know, second or
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: third round. But the linebacker is a little better than
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: this tackle. But after this it gets very very bare.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: So do we take the tackle now and go in
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the second round and get a linebacker because there's seven
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: that we like. So that's where, you know, when you
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: look at it with the entire board and who they
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: have these guys and where they have them rated, it's
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit more difficult to say, you know,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: just stick to your board all the time. I mean,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I remember that happened in twenty years ago. Parcels' first draft.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: He takes Terrence Newman in the first round. In the
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: second round, he wanted a tight end, but there was
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: five tight ends that he liked, and there were some
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: really good ones. There was only one center that he
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: that he could take and that was Al Johnson. So
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Al Johnson wasn't really the highest rated player, but that
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: he didn't feel like there was any other centers. He
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: had to go get that. And then one of these
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: guys he liked would still be there at tight end
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: in the third round, and there was. There was a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: guy named Jason Whitten, so they ended up taking him
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: in the third round. Now, Jason Whitten was getting pissed
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: off and Elizabeth Tenville, Tennessee whatever it is, ripping off
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the door, off the hinges because he was pissed off. Okay,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry about the door. But it all worked out, right,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: it all worked out. Seventeen year career, going to be
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, Ring of Honor, all that stuff,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: all right. And Joe the one thousandth caller, we really appreciate,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you. You kind of helped get this thing going
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: off the ground. Uh, you know, there was some there
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: was a show where we didn't have any calls, and
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Chris was really mad about that, but I told him
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: to calm down. We'll be fine, they'll come. That's exactly
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: how it happened, I believe, And that's not how it happens,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: not how it happened. It was something like that. It was.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: It was something like that.
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: Probably.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Now I was charting, you know, I was charting the show.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: So I did this and I was like, this show
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: was like all right, this is easy to chart. Move
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: to the next page. Because nobody called that day. But
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: that's what I got on Twitter and I was like, hey,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I needs you guys call the next show eight, the
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: next show sixteen, which is still the most that we've
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: had in a one hour show. So yeah, all right,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: So a producer question, Oh, the lines are open. Lines
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: are open, So all right, and then we're all about
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: to be done here, but we still take another caller
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: to eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: If you're calling from a state or country that we've
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: never had, uh, definitely the countries. We've had, all the
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: states now. Thank you to Mike in Boston, Massachusetts filled
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: that up for us. All Right, we've got a producer question. Uh,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: maybe this is chrispy and curious, or maybe he didn't
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: have any text lines questions either, and we're just kind
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: of trying to get through. Can I get Can I
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the trade deadline proposal? Pushing it back?
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I think it was Cleveland that that is proposing that
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline is just too early in the season,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: especially compared to the other leagues, other leagues NBA, NHL,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: major League Baseball, they're sitting at around fifty five, sixty,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: even seventy eight percent of this season that has gone
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: on when the trade deadline. So in the Cowboy I mean,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry Cowboys, the NFL is about forty five percent,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: So it's it's about week you know, that's about week six, seven, seven,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: probably seven or eight. And so as the as the year,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: you know, we've gone to set eighteen weeks season now
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: seventeen games with a buye so and they really haven't
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: adjusted that. So that's kind of what one team is proposing,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and I think it's getting some traction here. But what
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: I wonder is from the fans perspective, yes, everyone would
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: like that. So fans are liking that. What I wonder is,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: from a marketing perspective, the NFL does the NFL like
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: that does because you get so you think about like
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: this early on in the season, still week six, week seven,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody still has kind of a chance. I mean,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: you're still in this. You can turn things around. We've
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: seen it happen. You can turn this around and and
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: really get to where you want to go, especially with
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: seven playoff to you know, spots now. But you get
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: later on and you're like, hey, this isn't happening. Well,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: let's trade this guy. Let's trade him because he's going
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: to be a free agent next year. Let's get something
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: for him, and let's let's trade him. And let's trade
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: this guy too and get another pick. And we already
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: got this guy injury. You know, this injury is really
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: hard on us. And we're three and six or three
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: into I don't know whatever it would be, but you
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: know you're kind of out of it. So what actually
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: happened this year? I believe, well, what are the fans do?
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: What happens then? Because you're telling everybody, you know, it
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: happens in baseball. So when you say, are you going
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: to be a contender? Are you going to trade? Well,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: you start trading, where's the outfield stands look like? When
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: you start doing that? Like, So that's what I think
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: is the one move the NFL is worried about, is
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: do we do this too late? And then then the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: last month of the season when the teams are saying,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: well we're kind of throwing in the red flat or
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: the white flag here, Well, then they're the fan to
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: do as well, you know. And uh so that's that
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: in ratings and all that kind of stuff too, that
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: it all affects it. But I I like it. I mean,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's too bad. I wouldn't go too
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: late into the season. I think you could move it
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a week or two back. I don't think it would
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: hurt anything. So what do you think, Chris? Here's his question. No,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: maybe he's on the line on the phone. We got
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: another caller. We're gonna maryl last caller. What we got
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: daytone and Maryland? That's day tone in Maryland. What's up? Man?
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: Fan of yours? Man?
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it? What you have to.
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, no, no. I called before, but
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: I didn't y'all wether doing the here we go thing
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: at the time when I when I called here.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: You got one, you got one. We're passing. We're passing
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: them out like candy today.
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: Okay. Uh so, And basically I just woke up and
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: I heard as I hurry up and clicked the out
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: because I've been meaning to call in in general, but
• 48:28
  Speaker 8: every time I call it usually the show is already
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: over or something like that.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: So I was like, yeah, but.
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: So I got like a it's like a fantasy type
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: of question. But do you think that this will stop
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: to uh, you know, include the defense in a way
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: where nobody can run on us. If we able to
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: get these players, is it possibly I a name one
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: more or those?
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go for it, content, you say whoever.
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: You want, all right, So okay, so say so, for instance,
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: we got like how we already got the Marcus launch,
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: we got Micah and stuff like that.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: What if we get someone like Jadavion you know, flown
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: me and you know in the on the edge and
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: then you know or de tackle you know, you either
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: resign him pens and get someone else like a I
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: think his name is al Sean Robberson something like that.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Uh, you got me on you got me on some
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: of those what type of what where do you think
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: this team needs the help type?
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: But I think I think they need help, you know,
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: like well, but well, in my mind, I wanted to
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: also get your opinion on this because I've been meaning
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: it so because now it's just not popped up to
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: my head. So I really I think they need to
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: helping in thee in the interior, you know. I think
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: Micah if he gets bigger, you know what I'm saying,
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: so he can be able to be more physical in
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: the run. I think also if they get two linebackers
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: and uh, in my opinion as far as Stefan Gilmore,
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: I don't know how you feel about this, but this
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: is where I wanted to ask, do you feel like
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: like because you know, he's kind of old and you
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: you know, I'm not saying that, you know, but you know,
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: it's it's close to that time where you know, the
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: speed of you know, him keeping up with these young
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: receivers or stuff like that might be kept getting up
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: to him. So I was thinking, do you feel like
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: he could play safety like free safety like a Melie cooking,
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: you know how Luca is playing If he wasn't on
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: that pact. But if Malie Hooker would say this is
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: his you know, contract year, he I mean, what this
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: is his contract gear. But I'm saying, say it's his
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: contract is respiring when you think about like fitting Stephan
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: and at free safety and think he can do it,
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: and and then yeah, I would, I would get someone
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: like how the other call of the floor was like
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: a zad and hours or something like that they need
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: in business. Yeah, and then as far as offense, I
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: just think we need running back and you know, obviously
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: uh do something with the old line. And I think
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: Brandon Cooks is cool, but I still think we need
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: we should get someone else, you know, all right, just
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: to take the pressure off studios. Right, That's all I got.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, they don't appreciate that. Thanks for the call. You
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: know a lot of different stuff to get. I mean
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of things team people want out of free agency,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know if you if they're
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: gonna fix everything that they need or or address them all.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't typically think corners just because you're
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit older or you know, lost a step
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: at corner, the not mean you can be a safety
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: I think that that a lot of fans kind of
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: think that none in this case, the fan Gilmore. I'm
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: not saying that Daytona is saying that. I'm saying in
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: this particular case, I mean, Gilmore probably can do that.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: You have to you have to understand the game. You
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: have to be able to understand coverages. It's not just
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: covering your guy, it's more than that. You know, you
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: understand the whole defense and be you know that your
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: awareness has to be up there, which I think he
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: could do that. He'll has to be willing to hit,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: so you know, there's been some corners that have moved
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: to safety a little bit older in their career. I
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: still think he's a safe of a corner though. I
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: still think he's a cornerback. They'll probably try to get
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: him cheaper since he's injured. Talking about Stefan Gilmore. But
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: you know, as for all those other positions, I mean,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: we'll we'll, we'll see what they do. There's gonna be
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: some surprises. Hopefully they are good surprises. You know last
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: year there were some good ones. Well, we'll see what
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: they do there, and if running back is one of them,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I mean I think that you know, they have an
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: opportunity to get a running back that that you know
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: is a is a good player or has been a
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: good player, and you know, put them on this team
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: and maybe create a little excitement from from that regard. So, uh,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what we're hoping. We still got a
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: couple more shows before then, uh, and it'll be it'll
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: be fun to kind of talk about it though. We'll
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: talk about it next Tuesday, and uh, we may have
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a schedule change at the end
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: of next week, but we will definitely announce that as well.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: And at some point I'm getting together the all all
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: storyline team as this first year kind of wraps up,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: and and uh, it always kind of ends at the
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: end of at the end of you know, right before
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: a free agency starts, is kind of when the fiscal
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: year is over. So maybe next week, maybe next Thursday,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: potentially Friday. I have to talk to Beam about that
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: a good time. You're the producer. I mean, I guess
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be on You're gonna there's gonna be positions, okay,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know about that. I'm still
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of on the fly. But if there's
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: a producer position, it's gonna be you, okay. So yeah,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: you'll you'll be the guy one huh, one of one,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: one of one. That's fine. So you'll you'll you'll be
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: on it for sure. But you know, we'll see, we'll
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: see where I kind of draw the line there. I
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: might have some honorary exceptions there as well. And I
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: got to remember about the text caller of the Texters,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: uh too. Just because you can't call it doesn't mean
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: you can't be on the team. I think there's a
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: couple that maybe maybe Mike from Boston, you know, and
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: especially if he can you know, if he's from Boston,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna come kick my ass. So I
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: might have to put him on there, right right. Yeah,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm not giving it away except for Joe
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: and Stanford. You're gonna be on the team. Okay, You're
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: gonna be on the team. Rob in Vegas, You'll you'll
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: be on the team. Okay. So I don't know, what
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: do you think, Chris about twenty That sounds good. Twenty two.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I mean that's that's what a football. Yeah, offensive defense
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: with a producer. Yeah, I might have a couple of
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: a special teams player. I guess okay, all right, yeah,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: but you're you're, you're on the team. You're gonna help
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: kind of organize it, so you're you've got a spot,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: all right, Just kind of rambling here. It's almost a
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: full hour. Only had eight callers today, but that's okay
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: because we got some first time callers and first time states.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: So really cool to do that. All right. We will
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: be back on Tuesday next week and we'll get that
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: much closer to the starter free agency. We'll see if
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: we know a little bit more about where the Cowboys
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: are headed there for Chris Bey, I'm nick Yeman. We'll
