  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Hello, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: I am Nick Eatman, and.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: It's the final week of the regular season for the Cowboys.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: And it's been a while since the Cowboys have been
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: eliminated for this long in the end of season, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: they've had years where they've had worse records than this,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: but still managed to find a way to stay in
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: the picture, in the mix, on the on the screen,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: when the when they show it on TV about in
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: the hunt and all that no longer the case for
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys now. The goal for them is to get
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: to five hundred at eight eight and one, and that's
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys goal. I know the fans, they don't necessarily
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: have that goal. They don't care about that as much
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: as maybe Shody would in his first year. They know
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: that they're sitting currently, I think at fourteenth in the
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: NFL draft this for this upcoming draft, there's about four
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: teams behind them at eight in eight and the Cowboys
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: are at seven to eight and one, trying to get
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: eight eight and one. So there's a few teams back
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: there that the Cowboys could fall behind if they win
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: this game and those teams lose and go to eight
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: and nine, and I guess eight eight and one is
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: better than that, but it's weird because it's kind of
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: a winning percentage. So however they do the formul I
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: know this, the Cowboys are are They're going to be
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: picking somewhere in the teams there, and they got two picks.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Though, we'll see what Green Bays pic looks like.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the phone lines like we
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: always do. We'll start Davion. He's an Illinois Davion.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: What's up? Man?
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: What to do?
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: What to do?
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: My boy?
• 2:09
  Speaker 9: How you do?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: Doing good?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: First off, gratulated the Woody and win making the top fifteen.
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: Hopefully one of them get in. Hopefully it's Woody of anybody.
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: But hopefully we can get Woody in this year because
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: I think this is last year as really with the
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: Mountain modern day. I believe, but I could be wrong. Yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: but hopefully does get in. But man, we're gonna we're
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: gonna beat the Giants man daks Flann, so we will
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: smoke them boys. So I know it got to be
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: just twos. They gotta be quick. So a quick question
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: for you, would you rather have your quarterback complete no
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: passes in the second half and win the game. Or
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: would you rather the offense and having punded but only
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: two times in the month of December?
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: What? Wait?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: You'd rather have an offense that that did what? I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: sorry it's supposed to be quick, but but say that again, the.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: Offense that hasn't haven't punted only two times? Have punted
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: only two times.
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: And in uh.
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: In the month of December. Or be the quarterback of
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: a team that I don't have to complete the pass
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: the second half and win. Mm hmm.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: But I don't know if it matters, does it? I
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: mean as long as you're winning. I mean it doesn't
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: matter because those those what would you want?
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Davey?
• 3:48
  Speaker 11: What?
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: What?
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: What is your answer there?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Minds?
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: Would be the offense because I'm just I'll just be
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: a tongue of cheek by jayn Hurst messing up and
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: having a defense. Basically he is not complete a play
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: and win. Yeah, Well, I wish I had that kind
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: of action, but that would be that right store.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well thanks for the call, Davion. Appreciate
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: that happened New Year to you, you know, to me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, though, it's all about
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: about winning. I mean, Jalen Hurts. You know, you knew
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: once you saw the weather report there that that that
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: was going to be a tough day to move the ball,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: complete the ball and all that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to get picked up.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: But you know, they they win. The Eagles have done that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: They figured out ways to win games. They figured out
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: a way to lose to the Cowboys in that game
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: where they were up twenty one nothing. But for the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: most part, that's what they've done this year, is that
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: they they've figured out how to win games. Their defense
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: is probably the best part of their team right now,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: which is not never a bad thing going into the playoffs.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Robbie Cocoa Beach.
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: Hey, next, I got to be click.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: How are you doing well?
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: Very well?
• 4:59
  Speaker 12: Kids are ho?
• 5:00
  Speaker 13: Life's good?
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 5:01
  Speaker 13: Firstly, I want to say I'm real happy to see
• 5:04
  Speaker 13: what he's advancing again. It'd be cool to see him
• 5:06
  Speaker 13: and Wit and go in he is the best of
• 5:09
  Speaker 13: all of us, that is for sure. You said something
• 5:11
  Speaker 13: to that effect before, and that's the truth. And then
• 5:15
  Speaker 13: I hope we beat the Giants and I hope the
• 5:19
  Speaker 13: Packers lose, and I'll hear your thoughts on that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 12: I hope.
• 5:21
  Speaker 13: I know that's a conundrum saying both those things. Yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 13: but who knows what draft picks are going to get
• 5:26
  Speaker 13: the get the jackpot winner, you know, it's what.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: He's fifty to fifty.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: I'll talk to you guys later, all right, appreciate that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: You know, at Green Bay, they're they're in the playoffs,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: so at this point it's just about how they finish
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs, not necessarily the you know, I don't
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: think this last game matters much to them. But as
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: you know, you you if they're they're probably going to
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: be I think the seventh seed. And if so, if
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: they lose the first game, with the record they have,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: they're going to be sitting at twenty one or twenty
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: two for the draft. Uh So, yeah, that that's kind
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: of what you what you like, you'd like to be there,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: you know, around fifteen or sixteen. I think the Cowboys
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: are going to try to win, so and I don't
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: think the Giants are going to The Giants won this
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: last game, they do not have the number one pick. However,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: now they're tied. I think they have the second pick
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: right now, and they're tied with three other teams with
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the same record. So you know, somebody in that group
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: of three and thirteen is going to get to He's
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: gonna pick fifth. So I don't think the Giants want
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: to do that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know. We'll see what happened to this game.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they would love to beat the Cowboys too,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: but I have a feeling the Cowboys have a chance
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: to win it that they'll probably get higher than they'll
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: be picking, I guess lower than fourteenth.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And then and then we've had two callers already discuss it,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Jason Whitten Darren Woodson both have advanced to the finalists
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: of the fifteen candidate. It's for the Hall of Fame
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Pro Football Hall of Fame of twenty twenty six class.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Nobody's really surprised by that. I think Witten, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: first year eligible to get to fifteen. You know he
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: that that that that makes sense. Woody, this is the
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: fourth year in a row that he's made it this far.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: We'll see if he can kind of break through. If
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: they both get in, well we can just start, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: booking the trip to Canton next year for the Hall
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: of Fame game, because that's going to happen. I have
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: a feeling the best chance to get in would be Woodson.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Witten will be a first ballot
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Hall of Famer. It'd be great if he was. But
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: but the way, you know, DeMarcus Ware wasn't the way
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: they've changed the voting. And I've heard, you know, some
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: of the voters have said that they've really really tried
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: to make it exclusive for that club of first ballots,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: and I don't know if if Witten is in that
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: or not.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Let's go Chris in San Angelo, mister.
• 7:56
  Speaker 14: Nick, how today should How are you? I'm doing wonderful?
• 8:00
  Speaker 14: Full man, I'm fingers crossed on Woody man. That's all
• 8:03
  Speaker 14: I can say about that. Okay, on this next game,
• 8:07
  Speaker 14: one game, I know the Cowboy is going to try
• 8:09
  Speaker 14: to win it, like you said, but uh, any idea
• 8:12
  Speaker 14: we get to see maybe at least one or two
• 8:16
  Speaker 14: of a couple of other running backs possibly working their
• 8:20
  Speaker 14: way in. You know, we hadn't really got a chance
• 8:24
  Speaker 14: to get a look at him very much. And uh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 14: I think we kind of know what we have in
• 8:31
  Speaker 14: Javante and that all that's left there is just like
• 8:36
  Speaker 14: making making a decision on him. So I was wondering,
• 8:39
  Speaker 14: you know, like mainly between Blue and Oh God, myfa.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah all right, Chris, Yeah, I'll talk about that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 14: Thank thank you, buddy, Thank you for the call.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: You know, Javante, you know, he's been kind of banged up.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I can see a scenario maybe that they just put
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: him on IR and because you would need if you're
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: gonna move MafA up there, he needs a spot on
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: the roster, so that that could happen, and then you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Jayden Blue, it would be nice to see him play
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: some as well. You're not gonna get a great look
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: on any of those guys. Malik Davis will probably start
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: if he's feeling okay. I know he talked yesterday he
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: had an eye injury, so but he had had a
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: nice game. I'd like to see a little bit of
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: both of those guys, Blue and MafA for this last game.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: And I think there's a scenario, like you said, where
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: that could happen. And what else does Javonte need to do.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: He's had career highs in yards and touchdowns and he's
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: just had a career season. I don't know if he
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: needs to prove anything else. He's a he's tough as nails.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: He's been great for this offense, great for Dak and
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I think you know, it would probably be smart for
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: him not to play, considering he didn't even finish that
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: last game with an injury. All right, let's go to
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back after this.

  Speaker 4: All Right, Welcome back to Cowboys storyline here, presented by Gillette.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Jeremy and salt Lake. Jeremy, what's up man?
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: Hey Nix, what's going on? Man?
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: Tom good? You guys have merry Christmas?
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: We did? We did.
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: I appreciate you being on here and sharing all Jerry's
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: opinions with us. It's always nice, all right, yeah, man? Anyway,
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: what do you got man? Been a fun year. It's
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: been an interesting year, and you know, it's been fun
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: in a lot of different ways. I'm never gonna be
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: Team Tank, you know what I mean. I don't believe
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: in it. I don't believe that does any good for
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: the next year, you know what I mean. I think
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: you need to set a clear message and and and
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: go in and try to win the last game, right.
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: Finishing strong, I think is important. There's something I kind
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: of wanted to talk about that you brought up yesterday
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: that I've been thinking about for years. And I know
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: it's kind of not really off topic, but like I've
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: always wondered, Nick, why there hasn't been I mean, with
• 12:55
  Speaker 9: all the different offenses we've seen in the NFL, going
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: back to Miles Davis and you know, the run and
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: shoot and you know Eric Coriel offenses and you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: some of those things that were going on in the
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: late eighties early nineties, why nobody had a hooking ladder
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: type offense, you know what I mean. I think I
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: think it would be one of the coolest things in
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: the game to just have a guy always trailing. I've
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: always thought about this, if you had a guy trail
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: in each one of like every time you complete a
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: pass or even you know, not every time, but having
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: a big part of your offense, to have a guy
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: trailing and waiting for the pitch there. I mean, I can't.
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: I just think it would be a dynamic to the
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: game to where if you could actually have an offense
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: kind of based off that, it kind of I don't know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: it would be an interesting game. It would be an
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: interesting kind of yeah right, kind of kind of thing
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: to the game, like yeah, yeah, absolutely, it'd be pretty cool.
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: So that was kind of cool when you said that yesterday,
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: because I've been thinking about that for years. So if
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: we were only thirty years younger, man.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: You know, well, all right, yeah, hey Jeremy, thank you
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: for the call. And you know, I think what a
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: play like that does It creates, you know, more, it
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: creates more space there, and I think you're using the
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: width of the field more than just trying to go
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: north and south, you know. And I think the defenses
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: have gotten so fast as well that that's just another
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: play that hasn't been accounted for yet, you know what
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: When the corner.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Sees the guy catch it, your eyes just go to it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: There was a play a few a few years ago.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I can't remember the year the Cowboys were playing in Philly,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I want to say three years ago, and they had
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: gotten down there, they'd.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Lost by it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: They were trying to throw into the end zone to
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: win the game. They got down to like the five,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and then a couple of penalty's pushed them back, so
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: it was like last play of the game. They throw
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: it to CD and he catches it like at the
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: five yard line, because that's what the Eagles were giving them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Of course, from there he's.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Trying to figure it out and get in there, but
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: you know, he got tackled and they fell short. But
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I remember thinking how cool it would be if you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: you give that catch and then you know he he's
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: got to throw it across the field or something. Backwards,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: because that's what what is not being played at that point.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: And I think a lot of times defensive eyes are
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: just going straight to the ball that you can do
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: pitchbacks and things like that, but it's got to be practiced,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: and it's got to be you know, you've got to
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: have sure handed guys to catch it, pitch it, all
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: those kind of things. But yeah, I mean, if it works,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: that'd be great. Let's go to Rick in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. Rick,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: what's up.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Many, Nice to meet you, Nice to be watching you
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: for over twenty years. So I show you at a
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: dark time with all the other guys you one on
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: the broadcast with the with the botching those guys that
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: podcast next week, all right, So I just want to
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: call and say, I think we'd be doing a lot
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: better if we could just stick the defense because of
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: the offense. Soon as the defense took good, they did
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: way better and there was less pressure. Jackers out there
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: yet on defense, defense, defense, and they're happier and less
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: pressure than they've played better. So really, I can't watch
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: the year with his defense.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: I don't think anyone can.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's going to watch this another year
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: with this defense. The defense is the worst we've seen
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: in a long time. They're not that they don't make
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: any plays.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: They don't. They don't.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: I mean they give up a lot, but they don't
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: make any plays. They don't get any interceptions. I think
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: they're tied for the worst in the history of the team,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: uh for for interceptions any year. I mean, they don't
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: get any sacks. These don't have any playmakers. And then
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: they got one guy in the Pro Bowl, but that
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: was based off of reputation and maybe what he's done
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: with the Jets more than what he did here, Quinn Williams.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: So uh, it just it just wasn't a good year.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: And if they don't fix it, then they're not trying.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: And I know that they're going to be trying.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: So uh, I think there's a lot of good players
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: and the team. I just think they're putting positions to
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: make a play.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well they've got you know, you can't switch out
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: all the players, like you said, so they're going to
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: have to probably switch out you know, some of the
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: coaches are starting at the top. I just don't see
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: how you you salvage.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: This, all right, I agree, Well, just for once is
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: year they made get some free agents, which is amazing. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: so you know they got chickens in and William andything
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: like that. They never do that normally during the year.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's true. They they made a lot of
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: trade direction.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: They definitely made a lot of trades. There's no doubt
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: about that. So all right, Rick, Well, thanks for the call.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Nice talking to you. First time calling that. Thanks Rick,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Uh keep calling back.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Let's go on. Uh, guy, it's not a first time caller.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: He probably has called more than anybody. This your Leicester, Minnesota, Leicester.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: Good morning? Next are you? I just want to get
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: a shout out to Whitton and Woody, so hopefully Woody
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: makes it. Yeah then I just yeah, go ahead.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: No, I just said I hope So. I mean that's
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: my guy.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Both of him and whitting are my two of my
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: favorites of all time, so I would be pulling for
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: them to get in.
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: As you know, man, I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan since
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: seventy seven. Nineteen seventy seven. I just want to give
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: an update of the you know, would I always say
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: offensive defensive line till we get both.
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: This is what we got.
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: I want to give an update of what I said
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: last week and what the offensive line should be with
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: what we have right now, left tackle Kyler Smith, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: I said left guard still and I said Nate, but
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: I forgot about Rob Jones, So it still isn't that
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: I would put Rob Jones there. Bb Booker Guidon also, man,
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: I think the defensive line is pretty good right now,
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: but we need a pass rusher. And also the next
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: thing I would get is a veteran middle linebacker who
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: could recoverage, hit and cover and then you know, whatever
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: else we need, let's get it. But I think we
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: need to really focus on the defense. Like I said,
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: what I would do, number one thing, pass rusher. Second
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: thing I would do a veteran middle linebacker that could read,
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: hit and cover. And I think we'll beat the Giants
• 19:46
  Speaker 10: this week. I think we'll blow them out thirty to fourteen.
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: Go Cowboys.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: All right, thanks, Lester. You know, I don't know about
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Tyler Smith at left tackle. More than anything, I don't
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: think that's where he wants to be. And you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: he he knows where he is, he knows what he what,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: he's what he's really good at. You know, yeah, yeah,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: you want to help the team, and you do those
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: kind of things in a pinch when when you need to.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: You know, it's a guy gets hurt in the middle
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: of the game, what gives you your best combination? But
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: you know, he was paid to be an elite left guard.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: He is an elite left guard, and I think that's
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: that's where he where he's the most comfortable. It's no
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: different than than Nate Newton, Larry Allen, Zach Martin. Those
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: guys all played tackle at some times and some years
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: started out that way, but you know they're better at guard.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: And I don't think there's any difference there with Tyler Smith.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: And I get it's easier to find your left guard
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: or maybe even hide them then then your left tackle.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: But you know he didn't.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think Tyler played his best game, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: And that's just one game he's got thrown out there.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: I guarantee if he if he was a left tackle
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: and that was what he did all year, then he
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: would be that he'd be really good at that, better
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: than what he was the other day. I'm not just
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: using that one game, but I think I think it's
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: something to consider. All right, let's go to break here
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: on Cowboys story on and be right back after this.

• 22:47
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: is Tuesday, December thirtieth. We know we do things differently
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday. This is not our last show of the year,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: with a show tomorrow on Wednesday, but as we tape
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: our TV show, we will say a happy New year
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: to It'll be our final one of the TV show,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: maybe the final one of the regular season. I'm not
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: sure that that full schedule. But let's get back to
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: the phone lines here. We've got Griff in San Yes, Griff,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: what's up?
• 23:20
  Speaker 20: Gornie? How are y'all doing this morning?
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 23:24
  Speaker 20: My question is bigger problem Digs playing in a system
• 23:33
  Speaker 20: that does not benefit him or that he's best at,
• 23:38
  Speaker 20: or the defensive coordinator. Now, everybody talks about Digs not
• 23:42
  Speaker 20: being maybe not being there next year. But if you
• 23:45
  Speaker 20: put Digs and the type of system that benefits him,
• 23:50
  Speaker 20: I call it putting players in a position to succeed.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So.
• 23:56
  Speaker 20: What is the bigger hiccup? Diggs trying to play uh
• 24:02
  Speaker 20: a style of defense that does not benefit him or
• 24:06
  Speaker 20: that he's not really good at. So you get a
• 24:09
  Speaker 20: different defensive coordinator that runs that kind of defense or
• 24:13
  Speaker 20: his digs truly a problem.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Griff, I think I think you you've asked one of
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: the toughest questions of the offseason here for the Cowboys
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: to figure out that that that's that's where they are
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: right now, to kind of figure that out. I think
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: the answer is a little bit of both.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: I really do.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think and I don't know all the stuff
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes with Diggs, but I don't think it's
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: just a matter of I he wants to play, you know,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: more man than than than zone and all that stuff.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: I don't I think it's more than that. I think
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: his his mindset and and personality and all of the things.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: His approach to the game is not what the Cowboys
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: want it to be. And then and they they think
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: deep down they feel like, you know, the money that
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: they've paid him, and that he kind of does his
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: own thing. He freelances, it's not as much team oriented.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: And this isn't just playing the scheme. This is everything.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: This is where you rehab, this is where you are
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: in the building, This is how hard you work, how
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: hard you study those kind of things, and you know,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I just don't know if it's the culture fit that
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: they want.
• 25:27
  Speaker 20: Well, the thing that you're going to have to hang
• 25:28
  Speaker 20: your hand on is if you do part ways with him,
• 25:32
  Speaker 20: how you do it where there's trade free agent to
• 25:35
  Speaker 20: cutting whatever it is, and he goes somewhere else and
• 25:39
  Speaker 20: becomes an all pro somewhere else.
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: Are you good with that? Yeah?
• 25:43
  Speaker 20: That's kind of to me. That's kind of the the
• 25:46
  Speaker 20: balance in act that you had to figure out between
• 25:48
  Speaker 20: if you're going to keep him, trade him cutting whatever
• 25:51
  Speaker 20: it is is are you good with him going somewhere
• 25:53
  Speaker 20: else and becoming an all pro?
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Now, you're you're right, That's that's one of the issues
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: you always have to deal with. And uh, I think Griff,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: you're putting out some really good questions there, the ones
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: that the Cowboys are going to have to figure out.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I think at the end of the season here this
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: is where we are. I think that they're going to
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: do a post June one cut with him, which you
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: don't have to wait till June first to do that,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: but I think that that's what they'll do. I think
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: they'll save it might be twelve million on the cap.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: I think that's where this is headed in my mind.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: But and then and then, like you said, they're gonna
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: have to, you know, figure that out, because he'll he'll
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: probably go to a place and it might I don't
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: know where Stefan Diggs's contracts situation is. I think he's
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: in New England right now. I don't know where. I
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: don't know what his contract is. But it might be
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: a situation where he plays with him and that might
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: be a good thing for both of them. I don't know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: but it seems like that he's probably headed for somewhere else.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: But and that doesn't mean that that the coordinator will
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: stay either.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: I think I think both things could be true. All right,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Alan in.
• 27:05
  Speaker 21: Chicago, Yeah, Chicago, How you doing it?
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: What's up? How are you doing?
• 27:10
  Speaker 21: I'm good. I'm finally on vacation, so I get a
• 27:12
  Speaker 21: chance to call it. Answer. You have to show them
• 27:15
  Speaker 21: all the time why I'm at work.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Appreciate that.
• 27:17
  Speaker 21: I got a quick question. Well, you know, everybody talking
• 27:20
  Speaker 21: about changing and everything, and you know whether he will
• 27:22
  Speaker 21: or not. I feel if you're not in the playoffs,
• 27:26
  Speaker 21: why you know you know, I'll say, get the best
• 27:28
  Speaker 21: draft position. But my question is this, do you think
• 27:31
  Speaker 21: the NFL will have a duc what the NFL we're
• 27:34
  Speaker 21: doing when the NBA is dealing with a drug with
• 27:36
  Speaker 21: a lottery where a teams won't take me, and they
• 27:38
  Speaker 21: have a draft, especially the see you get your number
• 27:41
  Speaker 21: one picks, they maybe the top the worst thirteen teams
• 27:45
  Speaker 21: in the lottery, and then maybe the Cowboys can look
• 27:48
  Speaker 21: up like that was Mavericks didn't get number one picked.
• 27:50
  Speaker 21: If it was like that, and you think something like
• 27:51
  Speaker 21: that ever happen.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Maybe, But but you know, it sounds like the NBA
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: has got their own problems too when it comes to
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: tanking games and trying to figure out how to make
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: that work there. They they've they've got a lot of
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: incentives that they're trying to to throw out there for
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: their their league. I don't know, I mean, right now,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: the NFL draft, I mean, it doesn't seem like it's
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: a broke model necessarily, you know, for for the for
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: the NFL, there might be some ways to you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: when you get to a certain point in the season,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: when when when teams are eliminated, you know, maybe there's
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: there's a way. You know, once you get eliminated, you're
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: in this pool. But yet the more games you win
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: the more ping pong balls or whatever you get, so
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe there's something there's there's a reason to
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: try to keep winning even though you're out of it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 16: Uh.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I could see something like that, but it would have
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: to be you know, it's I'm not smart enough to
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: do that. But but there's got to be some way
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: to kind of keep it going. And it's not just
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: for this, it's not just for the draft. I mean,
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: think about it. How many fantasy football Fantasy football is huge.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: You can roll your eyes if you want to. If
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: you don't play it. If you don't play it, that
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: means you don't like it, you don't you don't understand it, whatever.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: But there's a lot of people that play, and it
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: helps the viewing and the ratings. And how many games,
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: how many playoff games and fantasy football were ruined this
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: last weekend because of teams not playing their guys and
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: things like that. It happens all the time, so there's
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of incentives to keep keep things, you know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: keep teams playing and interested. Alan, all right, appreciate that,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: thank you for the call, and stay warm up there
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: in Chicago, And all right, let's go to Michael Bowling Green, Kentucky.
• 29:42
  Speaker 16: Hey man, what's going on? You have a good Christmas
• 29:45
  Speaker 16: and everything?
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: It was it was Christmas is Christmas, you know, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Christmas is undefeated. And it won again even though I
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: had to we had to wait a little bit.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it was good.
• 29:58
  Speaker 16: I'm glad. Hey uh, I'm kind of worried about our Cowboys.
• 30:04
  Speaker 16: I count that we need nine positions feel for next season,
• 30:10
  Speaker 16: and I just don't see how they're going to do that.
• 30:14
  Speaker 16: I mean, I guess there's magic can happen free eight,
• 30:17
  Speaker 16: But I mean, I mean I'm looking at safety, corners, edges, linebackers,
• 30:23
  Speaker 16: and probably an offensive tackle. I mean, do you think
• 30:27
  Speaker 16: that's pretty accurate or am I? I mean, I'm not
• 30:30
  Speaker 16: a football exactly.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Is that nine or a? Were you doing like double
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: like two safety?
• 30:35
  Speaker 16: Yeah, two linebackers, two safety, two corners, two edges, and
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: offensive tackle. I think we need all that?
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Think about think about your your home, Okay, think about
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: the things that at you know, inside of your house
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: that you would love to fix. Right, there's probably nine,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: there might be more. How many are you going to fix?
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Which one do you really need to do or this one?
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: You just it's being nice to have those those nine
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: that you talked about. I don't think that that's all
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: gonna happen, especially when you're talking about cornerback. When Duran
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: blands one of them that you re signed and all that,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: and you got revel you don't need two corners. I
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: mean you not, not to the point of going out
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: in free agency or draft or whatever. I mean, you've
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: got guys here and they'll draft some players and they'll
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: they'll they'll bargain shop on certain certain spots. I don't
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: think that they look at it like they need nine
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: to function. You know, you're you're looking at nine, but
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: but they're you know, they probably have that list at
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: three or four because that's what reality is gonna shake.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not saying that they won't try to
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: fix those, but from a priority standpoint that I don't
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: think they can do all nine, you know what I mean.
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: That's good.
• 31:54
  Speaker 16: One more quick question. What about defensive coordinator. I've been
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: I've been here. I know the whole lateral move thing.
• 32:03
  Speaker 16: I've been hearing there's a possibility of getting uh. Well,
• 32:06
  Speaker 16: he coaches in the UH in the north of Purple
• 32:11
  Speaker 16: and Gold. I don't know, you know he's on a team.
• 32:15
  Speaker 16: But I mean, is there a possibility to get around
• 32:18
  Speaker 16: that rule stuff or is that just pretty much out?
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, draft picks. Draft picks can get around all rules.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: I don't think you want to necessarily do that. But
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: you know, there there are guys that are out of contract,
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: and you know, once the contracts expire then then you
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: know we'll see who's who's open for all of that.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: But but yeah, I mean, if if a guy is
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: a defensive coordinator on another team and under contract, then no,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: you can't make him your coordinator. But you know a
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: lot of these guys that people really want that are
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: having great seasons as a coordinator, they're going to be
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: up for head coaching jobs too, and that that's kind
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: of how it starts, and so well, you know that's
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: not what the Cowboys will be looking for, obviously, but
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: there there will be some options that there are guys
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: out there, and I guarantee the Cowboys are already looking
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: at that to see kind of what they need to do.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: All right, JR. In Avondale, Arizona is next.
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: How you doing today?
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Good? How are you?
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: Oh? I'm good, glad to hear you have a good Christmas. Well,
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: we have a good one out here as well, so good. Yeah, Cowboys.
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: It's a weird schedule this year. I think like they're
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: watching the Cowboys my entire life and can never remember
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: so many Satursday games and Monday night games and Sunday
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: night games. But the good part about that is you
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: get to watch all these the other teams play because
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: you're not watching and they're locked in on the Cowboys,
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: and it's just looking at all these other teams just
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: as bad as the Cowboys defenses. I really don't think
• 33:54
  Speaker 12: they're that far away from some of these other teams.
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: I mean, the difference between eight and one and eleven
• 34:01
  Speaker 12: and six, it's pretty razor thin. And we've talked about
• 34:05
  Speaker 12: it before about it to stop here, to stop there,
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: and they're winning more games, so I don't I need
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: The defense is bad. It's got to be fixed, but
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: I don't think you have enough people, and y'all were
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: just talking about it. You don't have enough draft picks
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: or anything to go out and get enough people to
• 34:23
  Speaker 12: replace all these people. But people like ez aaku In
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: Revel and Marix lea Foul, they've got to start playing
• 34:32
  Speaker 12: because they're already on the team and that if those
• 34:35
  Speaker 12: guys get up to speed, then you're gonna be a
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: lot better team because you're not going to be able
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: to add as you were just saying nine people. Anyway,
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: that's all I got. That's my thoughts for today. This
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: one to call in and wish everybody happy New Year
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: and say go Cowboys and go Woodie. Get in that halt.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go. You're you're right there, you are
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: on on.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: That's that's the guys that have to kind of step up.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Those are the draft picks. You don't have those second
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: and third rounders right now. You're gonna have some after that.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: They'll get some comp picks and you know they'll they'll
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: they'll get some some picks and they can move things around.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: But you're right, that's that's how you take that that
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: leap as you develop, you develop those players, and that's
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: that's what just didn't happen this year. I don't I
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: don't really know if I don't know what defensive player
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: elevated their game, anybody really? I mean, that's that that's
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: a problem. Look at the safety position. You've got Malie
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Hooker who got hurt this year. Donov Wilson's kind of
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: been in an out of line up a little bit,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: has been banged up some. He's missed some games, and uh,
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: you know, and then and then you you think about
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: who who you signed, you signed, re signed Juan Ye Thomas,
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Marquise Bell. You know, Wanya got hurt, missed a lot
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: of the time this year. Marquise Bell really didn't make
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: a big difference. I mean, your safety is just you.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: You.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: You try to develop some of them and some of
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: them are homegrown, but they haven't really taken that that
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: leap either. So that's a position where you could you
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: can use a really good, a good safety back there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: So here we are again in that boat. All right,
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: let's go. Let's see Irene in Falls Church, Virginia. Hey, good,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: how are you?
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I'm already all right.
• 36:24
  Speaker 22: I've heard a little bit of the conversation yesterday. Yeah,
• 36:30
  Speaker 22: I mean, I hope you didn't take what I said.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, you can no.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Your your opinion is is you had a different opinion,
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: which is fine. Everybody has their own opinion. What we
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: talked about was Jordan Lewis that they were talking about
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: that in the spaces and and I guess I had
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: said that, you know, I don't think the Cowboys are
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: going to pay ten million a year a year, not
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: just you know, to me a year for Jordan Lewis,
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: and that's what you disagreed with whatever, which is fine.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Rob took it to another but we don't need to
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: revisit that at all. That but yeah, you know, it's fine,
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: and I hope everyone knows this. My opinion is my opinion,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: and y'allso have your own opinion.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: And I'm not wrong. You're not wrong.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Nobody's wrong when it comes to their opinion. It's kind
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: of what Rob had said. After that we address that.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: It's all good, so I'm not really I'm not worried
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: about about that. I mean, you you you had a
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: different opinion about what they should have done with Jordan
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Lewis than I did, and which is fine, All good, cool.
• 37:30
  Speaker 16: Sound good.
• 37:30
  Speaker 22: But I didn't want to talk not necessarily about that
• 37:32
  Speaker 22: aspect of it, but the seeing the other players on
• 37:37
  Speaker 22: different teams that you know, even the other day, we
• 37:39
  Speaker 22: see Luke Gifford making a play right, and it's like, man,
• 37:42
  Speaker 22: but he's not doing that well. It's just it just
• 37:45
  Speaker 22: happens to be on time in a crazy game, right, So,
• 37:48
  Speaker 22: but there are certain players and even going back to
• 37:51
  Speaker 22: like de Marcus where when they didn't resign him, and
• 37:53
  Speaker 22: to be honest, back then, I was for that because
• 37:56
  Speaker 22: I didn't try you know, he started to get injured.
• 37:59
  Speaker 22: But I I want your opinion on this because you've
• 38:02
  Speaker 22: seen it play out for twenty five years when they
• 38:05
  Speaker 22: don't re sign somebody or they let you know, they
• 38:07
  Speaker 22: let somebody go test out in the market, and they
• 38:10
  Speaker 22: go to these other teams and they seem to succeed,
• 38:12
  Speaker 22: Like Marcus gets his Super Bowl ring Tank Lawrence is
• 38:16
  Speaker 22: having a resurgence Keto. He's quarterback three, but he's really
• 38:20
  Speaker 22: he's like the number six rated PFI and no that's
• 38:23
  Speaker 22: not perfect.
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: But you know, anyway, who's the last guy that you mentioned,
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: Tito Tito Woozy Apparently pfif has ranked as a sixth
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: but he's in a role of the third corner for
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: the Ravens.
• 38:38
  Speaker 22: Right So, I think where we get messed up is
• 38:40
  Speaker 22: that we have these players and they as if they're
• 38:42
  Speaker 22: either not working out as their draft pick or they're aging,
• 38:46
  Speaker 22: whatever it might.
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: Be, and we don't.
• 38:48
  Speaker 22: Change their role when they go to these other teams,
• 38:52
  Speaker 22: like Tank comes in on third down, right, He's like
• 38:54
  Speaker 22: a little mercenary, and they they put him out there
• 38:57
  Speaker 22: in better situations. And I wonder your comments on like
• 39:01
  Speaker 22: how we actually adjust people's roles whether it's not working
• 39:04
  Speaker 22: out or whether they're aging or injured, and if we
• 39:07
  Speaker 22: can do more of that. I think the contracts get
• 39:09
  Speaker 22: in the way is the problem. But these other teams
• 39:11
  Speaker 22: seem to be able to carve out a role with
• 39:14
  Speaker 22: the contracts anyway. So that's my call, Cappy New Year.
• 39:16
  Speaker 22: I probably won't call in again, so happy to year, all.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: Right, appreciate it.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: You know, sometimes players do have to go to other
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: teams just just to to kind of find that role,
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: you know, because when you're here it's like Tank, for
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: for an example, you know what what it was going
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: to cost to to to pay him, and and that
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: situation was that was different because Cowboys basically drew the
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: line in the sand and it was gonna be Micah.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: You know, those guys obviously weren't going to be on the.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Team together, and and and they didn't share Christmas card exchanges.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: This year, the Cowboys decided to pay Micah and they
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: ended up losing both of them. But you know DeMarcus, Yeah,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: he's he's got a.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Role for him.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: What what he you know, what he wanted contract wise,
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: and what that role was going to be is not
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: what the Cowboys could could pay, you know. They they
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: couldn't pay what DeMarcus was asking for to have a
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: just a third down role, you know. And the same
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: goes to Jordan Lewis with with what you know, you
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: get you get a point in at the salary cap
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: where you can't have guys in roles like that, you know.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: I mean they had to make a decision with Chito
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: O Woozie a while ago, and and and so you
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: see these guys in other roles. But like you mentioned
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Lou Gifford, he's running down on special teams. I'm sure,
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he could have done that, you know here
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: as well. So I think I think the point is
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: is that if you really want to play that game,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: that that's fine. There are guys that are going to
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: other teams that are playing well, and and and and
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: it happens. And sometimes do you miss evaluate on guys, Sure,
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: sure you do. And the Cowboys have I bet you
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: if you really really went back and look over the
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: last three seasons, of all the players that have signed
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: with other teams and free agency and things like that,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: I bet you that most of those guys have not
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: have not exceeded expectations. And for them, I mean, and
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: think about the guys that they lost, you know, and
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: and with other teams. D Law de law made it
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: to the Pro Bowl. He made it to the Pro
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Bow because he scored two touchdowns in one game. I
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: mean that that's pretty much what happened. And he's had
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: a good year on a really good team. But I don't,
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: you know, for that, for the money that they were
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: gonna have to pay him, you just have that just
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: has to happen. But you go back and look at
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: these guys that are that are leaving, especially the ones,
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: the ones went to Washington or whatever, be Oddish, Doriance, Armstrong.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: They're solid, but I don't think that they they've met
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: that that contract and so and you know, but to
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: be fair, the Cowboys have signed their own guys here
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: and those guys haven't met the they money either. So
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: like it kind of happens. I think it's an NFL
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: thing more than anything, is that free agency and the
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: money that these guys pay.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: It's rare. That they actually.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Exceed those expectations. All right, let's go Lewis and Langston Oklahoma.
• 42:17
  Speaker 23: Okay, what's going on?
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: Uh not?
• 42:21
  Speaker 23: But not bad man. I was saying that they got
• 42:25
  Speaker 23: Darren Wilson in the finalist, though I wanted to give
• 42:27
  Speaker 23: a shout out to him. Hopefully he makes you pass
• 42:30
  Speaker 23: this round and we get we get what everybody been.
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: Asking for sure.
• 42:35
  Speaker 23: But other than that, man I was calling, I wanted
• 42:37
  Speaker 23: to give my New Year's resolution list of things that
• 42:40
  Speaker 23: I would like to see. I hate to say it
• 42:41
  Speaker 23: because I've been trying not to get a man fired
• 42:44
  Speaker 23: from his job, but we got to go somewhere else.
• 42:46
  Speaker 23: And I know Jerry said he he didn't want to
• 42:50
  Speaker 23: try to change another decoordinator, but I remember him always
• 42:53
  Speaker 23: saying I have the right to reserve to change my mind.
• 42:56
  Speaker 23: Get somebody hurt, that'll change it. Because I feel like
• 43:00
  Speaker 23: at this point, I was listening to another podcast and
• 43:04
  Speaker 23: I hate to say which one it was because I
• 43:06
  Speaker 23: can't remember who else said it. But I don't see
• 43:08
  Speaker 23: any development on the defensive end, on the defensive side
• 43:11
  Speaker 23: at all, And you bring in new bodies, you're bringing
• 43:14
  Speaker 23: old bodies, but it feels like watching them play, there's
• 43:18
  Speaker 23: no development at all. I don't know if they're not
• 43:21
  Speaker 23: buying into what it's being told of what's going on.
• 43:24
  Speaker 23: So my my New Year's resolution list will be just
• 43:27
  Speaker 23: bringing to somebody that can get these players to buy
• 43:30
  Speaker 23: in what we what we're selling, because at this point,
• 43:33
  Speaker 23: I know you can't replace everybody. So some of these
• 43:36
  Speaker 23: most of these players are going to be back next year,
• 43:38
  Speaker 23: So we got to get somebody that's going to get
• 43:40
  Speaker 23: them to buy in. And I'll leave it at that.
• 43:43
  Speaker 23: That'll be where I stow and maybe see what else
• 43:46
  Speaker 23: what everybody else has on their New Year's resolution, for
• 43:49
  Speaker 23: the for the for the Dallas Caboy.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I talk to y'all.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: Lever all right, thank you, Lewis. I mean, yeah, with doubt,
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: that's where it has to start. I mean, because you're right,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: you cannot fix all these players, can't change them out.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: A lot of them are going to be here under
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: contract things like that. So what you got to do
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: is find a coach that can relate to them and
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: get them to respond to what you're doing. But also
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: that coach has got to be able to respond to
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: what he inherits what he has here and what these
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: players do best, and figure out a scheme that can
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: be adaptable to do that, but also the players. You know,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: you want the players to be adaptable as well, so
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: you know, be flexible. And I think I think it's
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: got to be a better marriage than what it's been.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: All Right, let's go one more caller here, Cowboy Nico
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: and Colorado Springs.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Hey, what's up?
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Guys?
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: How you doing? I didn't get to say it, so
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it. Mary Christmas. I know it's late,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: and let's start off with the new year with a bang.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Hopefully this season gets a little mouth washed out of
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: our mouth and we can regroup. I want to say something.
• 44:59
  Speaker 14: Shoddy.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Yes you heard the name, shady congratulation.
• 45:04
  Speaker 12: Shody.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: You have earned my respect, sir, I said at the
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: beginning of the year, we are going to win seven games.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: As long as we fight. I will be proud of
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: this team. For the most part, other than the defense,
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: I have seen fight and I respected. So the reason
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: I've changed my stance on calling Shody Shody is simply this,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Matt Ebersfluse, you have made us look horrible bad. I
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: don't even have words for it as a Cowboys fan.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just embarrassed, playing flat out embarrassed. I would much
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: rather watch my son's high school defense than this. So Shody,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: you have had my respect because I found out just
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: recently that's the only coach. If I'm wrong, Nick, correct me,
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: he did not hire Flutes. Was that not on the
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: front office?
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, sure it is. Now what was what was
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: said behind the scenes? And how much and how much
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: shoddy was on the table for Flus or you know
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: he knew him at all? I don't know any of that.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: I just from the the timing of it. No, No,
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: I think Flus was already in the guards there.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, so I might have been. Okay, thank you
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: for correcting me.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: I think I think you're right. I think you're right
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: about that. Yeah, you're right.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay. The last thing is is, uh, you know, Trayvon,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: you've sorely disappointed me. You want to go be with
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: your best ee, Go hang out with your bestie. Leave,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: take the start off your helmet because you obviously don't
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: want to be here anymore. But before I go, I
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: want to say I have been trying to get in
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: and I've been training new people. As I know, Irene
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: and Sue, they've been close to me and keeping me,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: you know, making sure I'm good and vice versa. But
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I want to say thank you to absolutely everybody. I
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: did not get a chance to call in and I
• 46:56
