  Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.

  Speaker 4: Hello, Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gellette. Nick Eatman,
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Final show before Christmas. Will see if we can get
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: through it, see if my voice can make it through.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: The Cowboys obviously two games to go, both on the road.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Who's gonna play, Who's not gonna play? That's the big
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: question obviously, Cowboys. I still think you're trying to get
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: some wins. I know Shoty would doesn't want to have
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: a losing season. So six eight and one, the Cowboys
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: can get to eight eight and one. We knew that
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: that was staring them right in the face when they
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: got that tie against the Packers. And here we go,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: just like Jason Garrett did when he first started as
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: head coach. Eight and eight, Cowboys can get there. They
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: got to win two games, and we'll see who plays
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: for them. I know Dak is you know Dak wants
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: to play, and Cowboys say absolutely, he's going to play
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: for how long? Don't know yet. Dak was one of
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: the five players that made the Pro Bowl. That's not
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: a big surprise for the season that he was having.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Cowboys got five on the Pro Bowl squad for the
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: twelfth straight year of at least five guys, their second
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: straight year of exactly five. We'll see if more players
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: make it as alternates, but Dak, George Pickens, Brendon Aubrey,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Cornyn Williams, Tyler Smith for the five to make it.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Streakings for CD Lamb with four he had four straight.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Kamante Chupin had made it a couple of years in
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: a row, didn't make it this year. We'll see if
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: other guys are added, though, But good for Dak and
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: obviously George Pickens, Brendon Aubrey. You know, he didn't have
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: the he didn't have the most and the highest percentage
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: of field goal makes, but I think everyone kind of
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: knows the weapon that he is and and just how
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: good he's been all your Quentin Williams, that's pretty impressive
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: too for him, four straight for him, three for the Jets,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: and now trade comes over here and then talk about
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: this for Tyler Smith, he's had He's just the third
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: guard in the NFL. History to have three Pro Bowls
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: under the age of twenty four or younger. So, uh wow,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: what a great player. And we'll see where he ends
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: up playing. He's gonna be tackled for the rest of
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the season, but made it as a guard. All right,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Let's go to the phone lines. Davion and Illinois. Is up, Davion?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Boy?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: What do my boy?
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: What a dude?
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: You doing? Man?
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You doing well?
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Man, A couple of things regulations to the guy that
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: made the Pro Bowl? Happy for him, could have been more.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: We've had a better season. But I mean, if I
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: got it, no big deal. I guess man. Honestly, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: was after I got the college that I wanted to
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: call it back, but I was like, no, I ain't
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: gonna do that. So the Trayvon Digs thing, Man, I
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: just at this at this point, I'm kind of over him.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I mean that Press company the en the other day
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: was kind of that was real bad. I mean, he
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: came in talking about some cover too, like we don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: know what cover.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Two he is.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: When you're supposed to squeeze it and help your safety
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: out so you don't give a walk in touchdown to
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a slight receiver. I just don't understand how Weedon he
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: was brung him back, because I think he's just been
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: basically toxic since the summer and he just ain't never
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: gotten no better. But uh, it's just crazy how we
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: got we got to this point with him where he's
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: still here and we I don't know, It's just it's crazy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: That's just one of the things that annoying me yesterday. Secondly,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: because I know it's too we gotta be quick. Secondly,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: this this is my plea to the front office.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I know they probably they probably listened to it. They
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: probably not, but plead the front office and cabour nation,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: can we stop talking about the future dollars cap dollars.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Can we stop worrying about Dak's contract because he's paid now.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It's no big deal. We're gonna figure it out, you
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: do it. Can we just get Dak of defense? Can
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: we please get Dak a defense. If you get Dak
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: a defense, were going to the Super Bowl. I'll bleeve
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: that for the bottom of my heart. If we get
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: him the defense we would get, we would give what
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: everybody want to see. With that, all right, I'm out.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well that costs money to you know, and that's
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's easy to say that. You know, you
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: paid all the money for the offense, and now you
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: got to get him a defense. I mean, you're gonna
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: have to draft well, there's no doubt about it. You
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: have to draft well and and and get some of
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: these picks to hit. But also, you know, or if
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: you're not gonna do it just like that, I mean,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I think we saw a little bit of a shift
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: last year from from the Cowboys making a lot of
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: trade that made more trades than they they've made him
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: several years. So you know, well, well, well I think
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: it's gotta be a good combination. But but I'm with
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: you on that defense is going to have to help them.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: But but to do that, you know, they have to
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: get creative and how they bring these guys in here
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: that they got to be the right fit. I think
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: it starts with what happens with the coordinator. And if
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: it's going to be the same coordinator, then it's got
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: to be guys that that fit better. And uh, you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: he reflues brought some guys over linebacker wise, and that
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: didn't work. So we'll see if there's a new coordinator
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: or if so, there's gonna be more changes that are
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: made on defense. All right, let's go to Irene in
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: fallse Church, Virginia.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: Hey, good morning. Why why don't piggyback off? Rob's called
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: that value? There's the last couple of weeks. So like,
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: theoretically this sounds good, but you know, an experiment like
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Ryan flinoy As doing well without Pickens around means you'd
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: have to sit, you'd have to play Back, you couldn't
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: play Milton, and you have to put Pickens on the bench.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: So you know, that was more complicated. And you want
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: to see if Pickens and Back continue their chemistry even
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: when the games don't matter, which they proved I think
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: last week. But there are some positions you could do this,
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: Like for me, I'd like to see clown and get
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: more snaps because we need to know if we want
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: to resign him in the off season and not wait,
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: you know, fill mid season basically. So for for you,
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: I'd love to hear what player or position could kind
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: of work in this experimental mode without being something completely
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: must And thank you for you to you and Chris,
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: and Merry Christmas to everybody in storyline.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Fam thank you, Iren appreciate that, you know, And and
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: and if you I think what what she's saying is
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: makes you know, I'm sorry. A lot of sense is
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: that if you're gonna you want to say you want
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: to experiment things, but but you have to do it
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: in a real experimental fashion. And and going up against
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: a Washington team, I mean, because that's the thing, like
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: who who are they going to face? So yeah, I mean,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: you can you say all I want to see I
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: want to see Milton, but you know, are you really
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: going to get to really see him? You know, he's
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: gonna go out there and play just like he did
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: kind of in the preseason. So I'm fine. That's why
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I like still playing Dak. And you know Dak Dak
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: gets up there and says the things that he says
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: about not cheating the game and things like that, Well,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: you know, I then then I think he just needs
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I think he still needs to play now if he's
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: not healthy. Though, if anything happens to any of these
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: players as far as like getting banged up or whatever,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: we'll you know, obviously take him out. But you might
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: see a situation too where you know, I will tell
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: a lot if will Greer is elevated. I think if
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: he's elevated to the game, then that that probably shows
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: just how much, uh, you're gonna see Dak inside of
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: these But who else could could get some some reps?
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: You know that the guys are already starting. I'd like to
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: see a little more Schamar James. I want to. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: want to see him out there and uh, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: maybe maybe a little bit more from Brevin span Ford
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: from a starting standpoint, or or at least play him
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: a lot more. He's a guy that I think you
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: you really want to evaluate and see. I don't know
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: what this future holds for schoon Maker. He'll probably be here,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: be fine, but I think span Ford gives you a
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: little bit more. I'd like to see him, uh in
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: an expanded role. All right, let's go to let's go
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: to Brian and Kansas City.
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Nick.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: How you doing.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: I'm all right, man, Merry Christmas, you too, Thank you. Hey,
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: you know I just wondered this. We've seen the Trayvon
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: Diggs thing just drag han for you know, since training camp.
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: You know, they came on and said, hey, you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: he's not doing what we want him to do. I'm
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: just curious. Do you think the decision on eber Flus
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: has anything to do with whether we keep him or
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: is he just just so sideways with the organization that
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: there's just, you know, virtually no champ. I'll hang up
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: and take that one offline, man, Thank you.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question, Thank you, Brian. You know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're tied together. Might be a situation
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: where you get a new coordinator in and he might
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: have a completely different opinion about Diggs or vice versa,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: and it might be a situation that works better. But
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I think as it stands right now, i'd be surprised.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I this is a tough one. I think I'd be
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: more surprised if Diggs was back than ebra Flus. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: actually that's not really that hard to say. I mean, yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I'd be more surprised if Diggs is back than Flus.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, they both may be gone, but I don't
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: really that's a good question. I don't think that they're
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: tied together, though. If Diggs is back, you know, it
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: might be a situation, like I said, a new coordinator
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: that came in, and you know, it would it would
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: might be a situation where all right, this this is
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: a good relationship for him, but I just think so
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: much has happened, and I think what shot he's trying
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: to do and change culture and all that. I think
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: they would probably want to move on from him. That's
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: what I would think. We'll see again. I've I've been
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: wrong before about this guy and the situation, and there's
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: a lot more we don't really know. All right, let's
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: go to break on Cowboys storyline. I'll be right back after.

• 12:23
  Speaker 4: All Right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Got more phone calls? Let's go right, after it. Let's
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: go Casey Joe. He's in Kansas City. What's up.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Nick.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Merry Christmas to you you too.
• 12:34
  Speaker 12: Yes, sir, I'm glad you got to spend some time
• 12:36
  Speaker 12: with your daughter the other day. That's awesome, thank you, Yes, sir,
• 12:40
  Speaker 12: it's always good with family. Hey, I think that the
• 12:43
  Speaker 12: first round pick probably should be used on a tackle
• 12:46
  Speaker 12: just because it's where we're hurting, and of course the linebacker.
• 12:50
  Speaker 12: I don't know, that's kind of my thought process. Obviously,
• 12:53
  Speaker 12: they're going to need a linebacker that they can work,
• 12:56
  Speaker 12: they can figure they're they've got enough on the corners,
• 12:59
  Speaker 12: or if we're going to go after corner, at least
• 13:01
  Speaker 12: get one. We know it's really good, not just take
• 13:03
  Speaker 12: a gamble on it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you mean like in the free free agency.
• 13:08
  Speaker 12: Or yeah, somebody that's really good in free agency, Like
• 13:10
  Speaker 12: we've got Quinn Williams. You know, I mean, that's got.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Something really good that's not free agency. You know that
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: that was a trade, you know what I mean. I mean,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: that's the difference. You gave up a first round pick
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: for him free agency. If a guy's out there in
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: free agency that he may not be very good, he
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: might be pretty good, but he might not be very good.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Or if he was really good, I mean, his team
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: would probably want to keep him. Uh you know how
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: that goes. But you know, corner, I think corner has
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: got to be addressed in the offseason, and that could
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: be one of your first round picks.
• 13:41
  Speaker 13: Okay, I think I.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Mean that's you know, Revel. I think it's going to be. Okay,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Bland is still Bland. He's got to be in the
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: right scheme, and he might need some help around him.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I think cornerbacks definitely one of your higher needs.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: And and and it might be one that you have
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: to draft.
• 13:58
  Speaker 12: That's true, you know, might be. But I'd still like
• 14:01
  Speaker 12: to get a tackle, you know, out of one of
• 14:03
  Speaker 12: the first round picks, just because you know, obviously we're
• 14:05
  Speaker 12: having major issues on the line.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
• 14:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Well wait, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: You too, Thanks, Casey, Joe.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: You know the.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: You know, Tyler Smith's going to finish the year at
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: left tackle. We'll see if this is a permanent move
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: or not. They say it's not, but you never know.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, it could be. It's easier to find a
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: guard than it is a tackle. And if he can
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: be that, you know, I'm fine with if he can
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: be that. You know, I think they got to figure
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: out the contract situation that they paid him really hefty
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: to be a guard. I think there were some some
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: clauses in there. I know there was a reason why
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: that that thing stalled and the negotiations stalled right after
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Tyler goiiton got hurt in training camp because I think
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Tyler's camp they knew, oh, hey, don't try to move
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: me to to tackle after we get this deal done.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: So I think there's part of the there's some provisions
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: in the contract there if that if that were to happen,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and Tyler Smith even alluded to that about you know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I know what I'm worth and stuff like that. So
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: we'll see how it goes. You know, even if if
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: he does move to tackle, then you probably need a guard.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: You don't have to necessarily get one in the first round,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: but you could. We've seen Tyler Booker drafted and we
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: see what what's happening there. I mean, they have a
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: chance to have a really really good offensive line with
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: with some young players. All right, let's go to Dylan Northport,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Florida and Merry Christmas.
• 15:29
  Speaker 13: To you and Chris and all the storyliners out there.
• 15:32
  Speaker 13: Thank you. I'm seeing I haven't been to listen to this,
• 15:35
  Speaker 13: so I don't know what's been talked about, but I'm
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: seeing a lot of people kind of blaming the offense
• 15:39
  Speaker 13: for losing some of these games. And that is like,
• 15:41
  Speaker 13: I'm not defending the offense because they're not without flaws,
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: but you know, the root of everything that ails this
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: team is the defense. They're they're basically playing from like
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: a negative game script wins zero zero. It's like, if
• 15:51
  Speaker 13: you don't go score a touchdown every drive while you're
• 15:54
  Speaker 13: going to be down, you take a field goal, you're
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: going to be down four points. You know what I mean?
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: Every mistake they make is like measurable one points almost.
• 16:00
  Speaker 13: You don't get the fourth and one while Chargers go
• 16:02
  Speaker 13: score touchdown, big get touch on thing off the board,
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: field goal, charge go store a touchdown.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Right right now? You're right, you can't.
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: You can't call a game that way. You can't play
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: a game that we has an offense. It's too much
• 16:13
  Speaker 13: pressure and stress, and uh, that's just what it's been
• 16:15
  Speaker 13: this whole season. It's not anything new, but you know
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: that is I don't get the US the blame, not
• 16:20
  Speaker 13: that they're blameless, like I said, but I don't get
• 16:22
  Speaker 13: allowed to blame. The offense kind of gets for some
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: of the winners and the Chargers is one last thing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 13: You know, Chargers had the ball two thirds of the
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: third quarter, like as a Cowboys offense or second half.
• 16:30
  Speaker 13: I mean, like as an offense and you don't have
• 16:32
  Speaker 13: the ball, Like what are you supposed to do?
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 16:34
  Speaker 14: You know what I mean?
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 16:36
  Speaker 13: But Christmas, and I'll talk to you guys.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: You to thank you. You know, that's why I wrote
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: my article that you know, this defense has become bend
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: and break. It's a bend and break defense, and that's
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: that's not good, especially when you go up against a
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: team like like the Chargers, who kept the ball the
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: entire time then scored. You know, I mean, it's one
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: thing if you're not gonna get stops. But you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I go back to that Chicago game in Week three
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: and that game right there. You know, it was that
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: drive in the third quarter where I think the Bears
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: got five third down conversions and then on fourth down
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: they scored a touchdown and it was a ten minute drive.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: And I mean, you just ate up the entire game.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Cowboys had shot to come back, but they couldn't get
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: off the field. And not only that, but then the
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Bears just kept moving, kept moving and moving, and then scored.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: That was bend and break, and that broke the whole game.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: And so you know that. And the Chargers did some
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: of that in the game the other day, and I
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: think it's just an example of that. Yeah, I mean,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: you're not getting stops, you ended up scoring giving a
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: touchdown anyways, and the best part of your team, your offense,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: is off the field, so you know that. You're right, Dylan,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: everything roots back to the defense. All right, let's go
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: to Mike in Birmingham, England. How you doing, man?
• 18:00
  Speaker 14: I'm good, Thank you?
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: That's good? What's up?
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it sounds like this little break from storyline has
• 18:06
  Speaker 14: come at the right time for your voice. But well
• 18:08
  Speaker 14: done powering through. So I've just caught the end of
• 18:11
  Speaker 14: your comments there from a conversation with Dylan, and on
• 18:15
  Speaker 14: a similar topic, I really really hate to be talking
• 18:19
  Speaker 14: about a fellows human being and their job, because our job,
• 18:22
  Speaker 14: whether we earn thirty grand or sixty million, is important
• 18:25
  Speaker 14: to us. He's got a go, Nick, and it's taken
• 18:29
  Speaker 14: me a while to get there. That for the Chargers
• 18:32
  Speaker 14: offense the other day, that was a training exercise. It
• 18:35
  Speaker 14: was just so easy for them. And the thing is,
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: I don't know if you can say any different, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 14: I'm just not seeing any improvement, and that's what I
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: would want to see. I know that he was dealt
• 18:47
  Speaker 14: a difficult hand at the start of the year when
• 18:49
  Speaker 14: Mike has suddenly left, But I mean, I know that
• 18:53
  Speaker 14: in the middle of the season we had that little
• 18:55
  Speaker 14: patch of three games and it looked like we were
• 18:57
  Speaker 14: getting somewhere. But it's just back to square one and
• 19:01
  Speaker 14: I really can't see how the position is tenable. But
• 19:05
  Speaker 14: on a cheerier note, so it's funny saying this now
• 19:08
  Speaker 14: after all that, but Merry Christmas to you, Nick, to
• 19:10
  Speaker 14: your family and to all the listeners, and thank you
• 19:14
  Speaker 14: for everything you do. I'll be back in twenty twenty
• 19:17
  Speaker 14: six to talk to you some more.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: All right, Thank you, Mike, appreciate that. Merry Christmas to
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: you overseas, you know, And you're right, I mean, this
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: time of year, it's hard to say, oh, this guy
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: you know needs to go or whatever, but they you know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: it's a performance business, it is, and they and their
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: their defenses is one of the worst in the league.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: And yeah, they traded Micah right before the season, but
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: you know, they did get Quinn Williams, and I like
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: you said, they just haven't made any improvement. They didn't improve.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: They need to, They need to show some of that,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: and you just never did. And then nobody seems to
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: understand what's happening, and they're not on the same page individually.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: They didn't get really a lot better. I think conn
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Williams makes the Pro Bowl mostly out of reputation and
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: also kind of what he did with the with the Jets.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: But I mean, they're just nobody on the defense that
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: really had a good year. So and when you when
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: you add it all up, there's a lot of teams
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: that don't have Mike and Parsons, you know what I mean,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of defense do I mean and look
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: at look at what the Vikings do. You know that
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: they don't have a lot of big name players, but
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: they they figure it out and they're on the same
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: page with the scheme. It just never happened like that
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: with the Cowboys. All right, let's take another break here
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back after this.

• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Just a few more minutes. Well, we got about thirty minutes.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: We got half the show. You guys did a good
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: job in the first two segments, kind of going in
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: and out. We'll see what we can talk about here
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: at the end. This is our final show of the
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: week and before Christmas. Obviously, we'll leave Wednesday. Tomorrow, we
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: will leave for Washington, be there for the game Thursday,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: be back Friday, no shows. Friday, will resume again on Monday.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Should be a well, no, it won't be a full
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: week because we have New Year's as well. Not sure
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: exactly that schedule. But first things first, we'll just wrap
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: up this week. We got more callers on the line,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: So let's go Rick in Webster, Massachusetts. Rick, what's up, hey, Nick?
• 22:44
  Speaker 17: Call you doing?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I'm good, Thank you.
• 22:46
  Speaker 17: Merry Christmas, and put the Elector game for us. Scores
• 22:51
  Speaker 17: they'll be a predicable I'm gonna go with Kybby's twenty
• 22:54
  Speaker 17: eight and Commanders twenty okay, but I agree with a
• 23:02
  Speaker 17: lot other people of me. You know Tyla Schmis wants
• 23:06
  Speaker 17: to play left tackle for the rest of the year.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: That's fine.
• 23:08
  Speaker 17: I think he's a better guard. He's more elite that guard,
• 23:12
  Speaker 17: has better things to do with guard than he's just
• 23:14
  Speaker 17: a good tackle. So I'd rather have him in the
• 23:16
  Speaker 17: middle to help bolster with the other two we have
• 23:20
  Speaker 17: there and then look for a tackle, whether in free
• 23:23
  Speaker 17: agency or the draft or whatever.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 23:26
  Speaker 17: As far as the needs for me, I think the
• 23:30
  Speaker 17: number on plority would be a getting a defensive end
• 23:34
  Speaker 17: with the first pick, and then go with linebacker and
• 23:38
  Speaker 17: then look at the cornerback in safety after that with
• 23:43
  Speaker 17: a lot of the tackle a lot. Happy holidays for
• 23:46
  Speaker 17: everybody and storyliners group and talk to you all later.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Thank you, appreciate that. Make Chris to you Rick, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: I like what you're saying, and I'm with you about
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: eighty percent on the on the Tyler Smith like he's
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: a leade at guard. He's a good tackle. That's what
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: we've seen. Remember, sorry, guys, Remember he's played guard for
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: his his fourth, fourth year, third year, second year, he
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: played tackle mostly his rookie year. Who's to say if
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: it wouldn't flipped, we wouldn't have seen the same, you
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, the issues that we saw at tackle.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: He had a lot of penalties his rookie year. Is
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: it because he's not that special at tackle? Or is
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: it because he's a rookie that year, you know what
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: I mean? So what we we don't really know that
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: we don't know just yet if if you know, maybe
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: he would be just as good at tackle, and I'm open,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: I'm open minded to that. I I think body type
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: wise and just the punch and all that, just the
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: way he's built, he seems like he would be way
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: better at guard. But you know, if he's Larry Allen,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: he's Larry Allen. You know Larry Allen when it's a tackle,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and it was good, and I mean really good. He
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: was an All Pro at tackle as well. He did
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: go back to guard, and you know, I don't know
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: if that's a preference for him or you know, because
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: as you get older, these pass rushers are still going
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: to get faster and faster, So maybe that was kind
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: of why Zach Martin always wanted to stay at guard.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: So I'm with you there. I think he's probably a
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: better guard, but if he can do it, if he
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: wants to do it, if he feels compensated, you know,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: fairly for being that kind of tackle, well, then you know,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: and that's another thing too, if he's not, Like if
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: he's just a good tackle, and what are you paying
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: for you know what? I mean, you paid for an
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: elite guard too. I think a lot of people are
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: looking at it like, oh, the cowboys are trying to
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: sneak one past Tyler Smith. Well what if Tyler Smith's
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: just a good guard, I mean, just a good tackle
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: and they're paying him really good money for it. So
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: it's got to work out. I think it will. I
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: think he's the toughest player on the team. I think
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: he's the smartest player on the team. And uh, you know,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: whatever it works, then then you know that you kind
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: of go accordingly. But it's it's still it's a good
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: discussion here, all right, j r. Avandel Arizona's next morning,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Nick good.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: You oh hanging in there, hanging in there. I just
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: off what you were just saying. Tyler Smith is a guard.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: I want to see him back at guard. I want
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: to see that trio of Smith beat and Booker beat
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: up people for the next ten years. I like him
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: stay at guard.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Uh, Jaydon Blue. I'm just curious. I listened to Shot
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: he talked about why he's not playing, and I just
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: got to wonder what did he do or not do
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: just to get pretty much benched the whole season. I mean,
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: if you if you wanted to have a explosive young
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: player and never play him, never thinking make him active,
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: and you should just kept deuce of on because that's
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: kind of what you've done with James. But I just
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: like to see the guy play. I think he should
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: get an opportunity. And last thing about I know he's
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: kind of kicking him ound about the draft doubts me
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: so much on defense. I just I thought they did
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: a good job last year and just taking the best
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: players available, not to reaching and drafting for need, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: I just I want to see them do that again
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: because they do have so many needs on defense. Yeah,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: that's all I got. Merry Christmas to you, Chris, all
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: the storylineers, everybody be safe, godless and go cowboy.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: All right, thanks so much, there, same do you. Here's
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: what I was going to say right after that previous call,
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: and I kind of alludes to what JR. Is talking
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: about with draft and all that. Well, first before I
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: get to that the the Jayden Blue. I mean, I mean,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Shoddy has said it all year. I mean, what these
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: young players have to do to get on the field.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: And uh, and and again it's it's about practice. It's
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: it's about understanding your assignments. It's about being versatile to
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: to play multiple spots. You're the backup running back, so
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: the backup running back needs to play some special teams.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: And it just he just wasn't a better option for them,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: you know, over Malik Davis. And that's you know, that's
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: that's on Jaden Blue, you know, and a lot of
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: the things that we talked about or that you know
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of the discussions about this guy and maybe
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: at Texas, you know, maturity issues were it was a
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: question drive, work, ethic, passion. You know, he's a really
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: fast player, but I mean you got to, you know,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: you got to do some things to to kind of
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: get on the field. And and it worked some in college,
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: but he just doesn't seem like he's taken that step
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: just yet. And you know, I'm sure they want to
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: see him, but uh, he's got to want it as well.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: And I again, I'm just kind of throwing that these
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: out there, these generic statements because we don't know all
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: the details, but these are some of the things that
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: we know that plague young players and and shot. He
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: has sort of talked about that with Jaydon Blues. So
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know all all the details. We're not going
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: to know that, but you know know this, they wanted
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: him to play. You know, I'd like to see him
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: in the last two games if if it works for him.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Another thing about the defense I was going to say
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: is what you know, if you get a new coordinator
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: in here, are you sure you don't have a three
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: four scheme? You sure you don't have the players for that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: It's gonna depend on what they do with your three
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: defensive tackles. Do they keep all of them? And if
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: they do, you know, as Kenny clark and knows, in
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: a three four, could he be in the nose? Could
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: could you have Coinnan Williams and and o size your
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: defensive ends in which are pretty much interior players there?
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Could you you know is overshown and and as a
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: right outside linebackers in a three four, still don't have
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: really your linebackers there. I don't know. I think that
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: would just be a question I don't know if if
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: you're gonna if you're going to get the best out
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: of Osa and Quinnen from those defensive end positions. It's
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: just something to throw out because you do look at
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: over shown and Isaku and think they they could maybe
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: be those outside rushers there. But there's a lot of
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of questions here. All right, Brandon and Fresno, California.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 30:29
  Speaker 18: Merry Christmas?
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Man you too?
• 30:33
  Speaker 18: Just uh, I just wanted to take on on this defense,
• 30:37
  Speaker 18: but like on this coaching staff, like I just feel like, man,
• 30:41
  Speaker 18: we get these coaches like kell them Moore goes and
• 30:43
  Speaker 18: wins the Super Bowl with Philly al Harriet is like
• 30:46
  Speaker 18: what he's doing over there in Chicago, Like it just
• 30:48
  Speaker 18: kind of makes me mad that we get rid of
• 30:50
  Speaker 18: these coaches and then we get this and we're not
• 30:54
  Speaker 18: doing anything. On Sunday I've seen I think it was
• 30:57
  Speaker 18: like number twenty seven. It came on a belize that
• 31:00
  Speaker 18: completely missed the tackling they like you see Kenneth Murray
• 31:04
  Speaker 18: just missing bowls. It's just I think it has to
• 31:07
  Speaker 18: do with coaching, because you go back a couple of
• 31:09
  Speaker 18: years ago, we were on it. I mean, we were
• 31:11
  Speaker 18: we were killing it on defense. Yeah, our run defense
• 31:13
  Speaker 18: wasn't good. But I think with like those missing leaders
• 31:17
  Speaker 18: like Jordan Lewis and Mark Lawrence, like that that killed us.
• 31:21
  Speaker 18: I think that just got hurt us really bad. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 18: it's just like it brought Digs down, losing Micah and
• 31:27
  Speaker 18: everything like that.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Wait, is that the coaches or is it the Is
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: it the players? I think you said it was the coaches,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: but then now it's it's the players that that they lost.
• 31:37
  Speaker 18: I think it's the coaches, though, I think it's I
• 31:39
  Speaker 18: think it's I think it's the coaches. I think I
• 31:41
  Speaker 18: was coming in just just doesn't fit with these players.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I mean that's fair. I mean, yeah, that's
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: not you're you're probably not not wrong with that. I mean,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean Chicago, I mean that is doing well.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if they're doing well because
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: of Al Harris, but I mean some of those secondary
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: guys are, you know, playing. I mean, all I'm saying
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: is is that you know, if if you know Kellen Moore,
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: he went to Philly, you know, and why didn't he
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: coach that way here? You know what I mean? Why
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: didn't Al Harris coach that way here, and you could
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: argue that they did because you know, Al Harris, the
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: best years of Diggs, the best year of Deron Blandon,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: definitely the best year of now Seawn Ryder under Al Harris.
• 32:23
  Speaker 18: Yeah exactly. Yeah, So that's that's what're just kind of
• 32:26
  Speaker 18: said to me. It's like, we have these good coaches
• 32:28
  Speaker 18: and then we just let him go and then it's
• 32:30
  Speaker 18: just it just kind of hurt. It hurts the team
• 32:32
  Speaker 18: and everything like that. And then my last week just
• 32:35
  Speaker 18: just a funny one. But if Rivers gonna come back,
• 32:37
  Speaker 18: let's let's bring Romo back for the last two games.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: He probably could. Yeah, uh, that would be that would
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: be interesting. Yeah, you know, Rivers, he looks older, but
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: he's getting it done. He's getting it done. I mean,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: I mean respect for him and and and what what
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: he's doing there. I don't think. I don't think Tony.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think Tony ever wanted to come back. You know,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: he's got it too good, you know, with with what
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: he's doing. I don't know. I mean, you know, Philip
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Rivers at ten kids, hear the way he is grand
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: it's a grandfather, like has that ever happened in the
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: league before. But but you know, he's got ten kids.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't. I mean, I got two in
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: the house and I'm ready to get get to work, too,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: so I could I can understand maybe what he's what
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: he's doing there, all right, Sergeants Sue and fort Worth,
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: what's up at He's.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: How you doing? Nick?
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: You?
• 33:35
  Speaker 19: I'm doing pretty good?
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 33:36
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Hey, I just old man Rivers.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:39
  Speaker 19: Man, they ten kids.
• 33:41
  Speaker 20: I guess it.
• 33:42
  Speaker 19: Kind of like I wasn't planning on saying this, but
• 33:43
  Speaker 19: I guess I will now. I got two and a half.
• 33:46
  Speaker 19: I guess it's just a thing for me to announce
• 33:48
  Speaker 19: when my wife is pregnant, so we're expecting. So I
• 33:50
  Speaker 19: got two and a half. And I definitely get it. Man,
• 33:52
  Speaker 19: you got ten kids, you got to get up there.
• 33:54
  Speaker 19: You got to hustle.
• 33:54
  Speaker 16: Man.
• 33:55
  Speaker 19: So he appreciated man abuly man, But but no, I
• 34:02
  Speaker 19: wanted to I wanted to call him man. Just it's
• 34:04
  Speaker 19: kind of tough.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 34:05
  Speaker 19: Again, I always like to be the positive dude and stuff,
• 34:07
  Speaker 19: but it's just hard, man. It's hard when when these
• 34:09
  Speaker 19: games are you know, seemingly meaningless, feeling me and of
• 34:12
  Speaker 19: course you could always trying things that you're rooting for
• 34:15
  Speaker 19: and players in certain positions, and I guess that's what
• 34:17
  Speaker 19: I'm gonna talk about. I mean, some of them have
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: been talked about, like Brevn span Ford. I want to
• 34:21
  Speaker 19: see him more rebel. I want to see him continue
• 34:23
  Speaker 19: to get better. I want to see Phil Maffa man.
• 34:25
  Speaker 19: I mean, I liked what I saw in preseason. I
• 34:27
  Speaker 19: thought he was pretty good. I mean, his his window
• 34:29
  Speaker 19: opened up, so I'm hoping that he can get in
• 34:31
  Speaker 19: and Josh Butler as well. I mean to me, I'm honestly,
• 34:36
  Speaker 19: if I'm being blatantly honest and there's nothing against him,
• 34:38
  Speaker 19: I'm just not like, I don't get what the excitement
• 34:41
  Speaker 19: is about him coming back and him being Butler Island
• 34:44
  Speaker 19: or whatever. I just you know, but whatever, Let's see
• 34:46
  Speaker 19: him play. You know, this is a moment, this is
• 34:48
  Speaker 19: the time to do it. My biggest one though, and
• 34:51
  Speaker 19: I know this might be a trigger for some people,
• 34:52
  Speaker 19: but is Mingo And we complained pretty much half the season, Nick,
• 34:57
  Speaker 19: And I know that you remember about Tober and how
• 34:59
  Speaker 19: he was sort of a progress stopper for other wide receivers.
• 35:02
  Speaker 19: I think we're seeing that now with Ryan Flinoy and
• 35:04
  Speaker 19: how he's flourished. And you know, now Flinoy might not go,
• 35:09
  Speaker 19: so Mingo, this is your time, brothers, like get in there,
• 35:13
  Speaker 19: do what you can do, make it, make it to
• 35:15
  Speaker 19: where we didn't waste, you know, a trade on you,
• 35:18
  Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So this is his opportunity.
• 35:19
  Speaker 19: I hope he goes out there.
• 35:20
  Speaker 20: And does something.
• 35:21
  Speaker 19: And if he doesn't, at least now we'll know. Last
• 35:23
  Speaker 19: thing before I go. We do have a spaces tonight.
• 35:26
  Speaker 19: Usually it's on Thursday, so we're going to have one tonight.
• 35:28
  Speaker 19: Davian forgot to mention it. Usually he's the guy who
• 35:31
  Speaker 19: does it, but I wanted to mention it. So if
• 35:32
  Speaker 19: you guys wanted to swing by, feel free, Nick, Chris
• 35:35
  Speaker 19: and all the storyliners. Man, you guys have a very
• 35:37
  Speaker 19: merry Christmas.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, have great ever appreciate it. You
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: know what, if I had a little bit more voice,
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: I might I might think about it, but maybe join
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: you guys. I always, I always, it's always in the
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: in the plans to do it, and then I don't
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: always make it. It's fun though, it's fun to hear
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: from you guys, and also the guys that don't get
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: to call that much, are really at all, But then
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: you get on there and it's like they're they're a
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: big part of the show, you know, And that's always
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: cool to be able to kind of hear. And that's
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: kind of the first time I'd ever heard from Dave
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: you on was just from the spaces and he never
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: had gotten a chance to call. And now he calls
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: a lot, which is cool. All right, let's go to
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Eric in North Carolina.
• 36:23
  Speaker 20: Eric, Hey, Nick, how's are going today?
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Man? Has it been a little bit Huh?
• 36:28
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I know, it's been so long I would wondering
• 36:31
  Speaker 20: if you would even know who in the world I was.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: No.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I know because I keep track of the calls and
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: on this big spreadsheet, and I keep track of the
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: all storyline team and then guys that like haven't called
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: from that, from previous teams, and I'm like, man, all
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: these people are okay, you know, I kind of have
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: I kind of have like bad thoughts a little bit,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: you know, and I'm like, well, you know, well, anyways, man,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: good But.
• 36:58
  Speaker 20: No, I've actually tried many times. I just haven't been
• 37:01
  Speaker 20: able to get through and uh, and but that's a
• 37:04
  Speaker 20: credit to you and Chris and uh and Derek, you know,
• 37:07
  Speaker 20: for the popularity of the show. But uh, but I
• 37:10
  Speaker 20: do listen. I do listen. And but I was just
• 37:13
  Speaker 20: thinking in this in this disappointing twenty twenty five season,
• 37:18
  Speaker 20: I was I was searching for, you know, like like
• 37:22
  Speaker 20: positive thoughts. And uh, I do have to give the
• 37:26
  Speaker 20: Cowboys and uh Will McLay and Jerry and Steven as
• 37:29
  Speaker 20: much as people like to, uh you know bash them,
• 37:33
  Speaker 20: uh big credit really for drafting Ryan Flinnoy Yeah, uh
• 37:38
  Speaker 20: in the seventh round. And to have a wide receiver
• 37:41
  Speaker 20: that has multiple one hundred yards games who's drafted in
• 37:46
  Speaker 20: the seventh that's a good job.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 20: And uh but my other thought is is I hope
• 37:54
  Speaker 20: to get to see a corner Josh Butler because I
• 37:58
  Speaker 20: thought he did have uh some some skill that I
• 38:02
  Speaker 20: saw last year. He seemed to be able to stay
• 38:05
  Speaker 20: with his man before he hurt his knee. I believe
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: it was. And uh and my last thought, I do
• 38:14
  Speaker 20: like George Pickens. He is really really talented and skilled.
• 38:20
  Speaker 20: But my fault is in the off season is to
• 38:24
  Speaker 20: uh franchise tagging but make it non exclusive. That the
• 38:30
  Speaker 20: way you could at least shop him just to see
• 38:34
  Speaker 20: what he's worth. As great of a season as he
• 38:38
  Speaker 20: as he's had. Everyone knows he's gonna be extremely expensive
• 38:43
  Speaker 20: and it'll probably be really tough to build a good
• 38:46
  Speaker 20: defense if we sign him. But if we could get
• 38:50
  Speaker 20: a first for him, I'll bet you we could find
• 38:53
  Speaker 20: like a good SEC wide receiver that would make a
• 38:57
  Speaker 20: great number two with like a late first or something
• 39:01
  Speaker 20: like that.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's that's kind of that's kind of
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: the plan I would think. And thank thanks for the call, Eric,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Really good to hear from you. Thanks for calling. Yeah,
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: you too, and talking about Pickens. I mean, I think
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: that's that's the best opportunity to get the most value
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: for him. As far as without committing to you know,
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: like so committing these this long term deal. I still
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: think that the jury's out on him as far as
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: is he is he the guy that you want to
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: pay that much money to and then look at some
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: of the other players that they've that they've paid and
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: you know, some of the issues that we we see
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: with Pickens, and and that's with the you know, the
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: money that he's making right now, he's not making a ton.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: He still gets fined a lot for being late and
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: missing buses and missing meetings and things like that from
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: from what we've heard. And you know what happens when
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: you get a lot more money. You know, then what
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: what kind of then how tough is it going to
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: be to kind of corral him and all that. So
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: that's the question, I think franchising him, whether he may
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: not like that, it's still it's going to be a
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: really big number the Cowboys have to put under their cap.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: But you know, you you do shop it and see.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, if somebody wants to sign them to a
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: big deal, I don't think that they will. So he
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: probably will play on the tag and if he doesn't
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: play on the tag, then you you know, you get
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: him on him on a cheaper deal. I just don't
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: think he's I don't think he's a thirty million dollars
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: a year guy. I mean, I think he's had a
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: really good season, but I mean a part of that
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: is having the quarterback that he does, and also CD
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: on the other side, I think they both need to
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: understand that. So well, we'll see, we'll see what happens there.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: But I do think that he's going to be back,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: and you know, if somebody wants to sign him to
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: an offer sheet. After you do a franchise tag and
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: it kind of you know, it blows your away, then
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: then then you consider it. But I think you know,
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: as it stands right now, I think you'll be back
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: and probably on the tag. All right, let's go to
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Mason in Minnesota.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: I got two questions.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: I'll make it quick.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: One, do you feel I feel that the move for
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: Williams and that that this all was for twenty twenty
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: six next year due to the situation we were at.
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: And then my second question is if we were able,
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: if they would have seen forehead with Parsons, what do
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: you think they would have got before the draft?
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: I'd just say that, oh, if they would have traded
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: him beforehand? Is that what you're asking? If they would
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: have traded out for the draft, what do you get
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: for him?
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: Well, you think we would have got instead of right
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: before the season.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: You know, you probably get almost the same. It's just
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: that those two picks get moved up, probably so you
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: you'd get Green Bay pick that year, I mean during
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: the draft and then this next one coming up. That's
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: what I would imagine it would be something like. And
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: then still Kenny Clark and and all that. I would
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: probably just probably the same. It's just that you you
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: you would have a pick that you would draft, and
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: then you know, and you know what, to be really honest,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: you probably would have had just another second round pick
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: because I bet you they draft Where did Green Bay
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: even pick? I don't remember. I would say, was it late?
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: Because they made the play you probably you're not gonna
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: want to hear this. They were. They would probably draft
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: as Iraku. Seriously, That's that's probably what they would have done,
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: is drafting him. Now. I can't remember who who was
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: up there defensive end wise when when they got Booker.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: You know, but I don't think it was a really
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: strong draft class. You still you still my draft Booker,
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: and you have a late first round pick, you take
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Azraku because they were shocked that Ezraku was still around
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: in the second round, so you know, that's probably what happens,
• 43:03
