  Speaker 3: came out, we kicked it half the fun up and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: ox Or I had my hope really high. Yeah, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: then flust it hold my beer ruined everything for me.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Well hold on, now, I.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Mean there was also a trade in there too, like
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Let's yeah, I think I

• 1:44
  Speaker 2: little bit there too, Like, let's not let's they poured
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: some of it out, like a really big piece of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the beer. So yeah, let's let's not forget that part.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Not saying, you know, we're bore one out for the homies,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it was there.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's rough.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: It's rough, man. I just I just I'm so distraught
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: over how the defense. I thought we had a solid
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: defense and we will just not get because we talked
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: about it last week. Do not let JJ McCarthy look good.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Just don't do it, and they just oh man, So
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: last three weeks, I'm just hoping, really just prayer for
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: my Christmas gifts. It's just nobody get hurt, no serious injuries.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Just uh, let's get to the next year and uh
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: with everybody pretty much healthy. Because you know, this past
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: week with Parsons and Paddy going down, just so it's Uh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see anybody on one of our
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: one of our good players go down like that. So
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: hopefully with everybody be good. I want to say this
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: week is if I don't get in tomorrow, I'll try
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: again tomorrow. But I won't get in tomorrow. This week
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: got the charge game should be. I don't big of
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the win, what the hey, just will win it out
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and see what happens. So big of the win, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: ain't even really got to score because with with Foof,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I just don't know. He might may just Herbert Loo
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: like Prime Patty out there, so I don't know.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is pretty good on his own, so yeah, right,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: going for win thirty four thirty win, going for a win, man,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: but let's get it okay, all right? Yeah, that's like
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the epitome I think of all all the fans right now,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: just just kind of defeated, still trying to be optimistic,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: but just still defeated at the same time. It's being
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a cowboy fan has been for a while now, all right.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Paul in Vancouver, Paul, what's up?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Many are you good?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: How are you doing doing well?
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: Thank you?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Seen since Vegas?
• 4:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, barely made it an out of there to bed.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Darren Woodson's not here, thank you. We could show them
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the video of the of the jersey, your Woodson jersey
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that I devalued.
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: No, I know you. I actually haven't prominently displayed anytime.
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: I don't mean to make bad radio, but you put
• 4:25
  Speaker 9: an inscription on it, and anytime somebody sees it in
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: the office, they're like, why would why would you write that?
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: And I tell them the actual story. The eighty percent
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: of people will see if they find it funny, about
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: twenty percent of their eyes.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: But I'll take that cool, We'll take eighty twenty.
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, at first, I just want to wish you
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: a merry Christmas and everybody too, And you definitely made
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: my Christmas. And you know, I'm really enjoying the second book.
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: So I'm going to have to go for the hat
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: trick next next year, all.
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: Right, with the bailor one.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that. So what you got me?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: What are you feeling about this team?
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: I'm mostly upbeat. I'm really happy with how Schottenheimer date
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: is first year, given everything, the issue of obviously, you
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: know four hundred there's a lot four hundred points with
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: three games up, which isn't good. So I'm not trying
• 5:14
  Speaker 9: to get into off season talk, but you guys have
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: talked a little bit on the show about, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: trading one of the draft picks. I'm just like, when
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: I think about it, I love the documentaries you guys do,
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: especially that five draft class. I'm like, if you got
• 5:27
  Speaker 9: two first round picks, you had two starters to this team,
• 5:30
  Speaker 9: and you have a plan on defense for next year,
• 5:32
  Speaker 9: feeling good about it. And yeah, even with two thousand
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: and eight when we had Felix and Mike Jenkins, I'd
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: argue that was a success because you had two starters,
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: one of them made the Pro Bowl for five years.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: You know, add that to this team. You know, I'm
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: feeling good about it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I'm with you, you know what. Thanks, thanks Paul,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and thanks for the for the call. Mery Christmas to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you as well up north of the border Vancouver. But
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm kind of with you on that. Like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: without a second and a third round pick, you're sitting
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: here thinking, well, you know, surely they're going to do
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: something and have a pick on Friday. We're not just
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: gonna take Friday off in the draft. But two first
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: round picks. I'm with you, like draft use them, you
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, because when you think about the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: second round and what they've done in the second round,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: it's kind of always been a kind of a crapshoot,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to steal value a little bit. I mean,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: just look at the last few second round picks. Of course,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I'm why am I doing this? Oh? I wish I wasn't,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: But all right, Donovan Azaraku could be a good player.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Marsha and Neeland rest in peace. I think was going
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to be a good player for sure. Luke Scoonmaker hasn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: lived up to expectations. Sam Williams's playing okay this year,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: but still hasn't hit those high marks yet. Kelvin Joseph Nope,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Drayvon Diggs, well, yeah he did. It was a good
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: That was a good pick. But now you know, obviously
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: he's not. He had a second contract, so that was
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: definitely a good pick. Connor McGovern, Connor Williams, cheatoh o'woozier,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Jaylen Smith, Randy Gregory. Now I'm back to DeMarcus Lawrence
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, so at Gavin Escobar before that, I also
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: rest in peace. So second that's second round. Now the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: third round is probably about the same, it maybe worse.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: So my point in that is, and you can make
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the case for a first round, but that the first
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: round you have better chances to have a better player.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: So I'm not sure if I really want to just
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: move back like that. You know, Now, now, maybe you
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: move that first pick back a little bit and then
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: add something. You're still getting two number ones. But let's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: just say you're sitting at twelve and twenty two. I
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: don't know, I just made that up twelve and twenty two.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe you moved back to nineteen in twenty two or
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: you know, something like that, and then whatever you did
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to move back, you get a few more as well,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe a second or third round from from there,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: still picking two in the first round, but also getting more.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So either way, I mean, they'll, they'll, they'll definitely figure
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: it out. But I'm I'm with you about maybe, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: quit trying to take all these chances with second, third
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: round and stuff like that. This is already a pretty
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: young team. Why why do you get some some value?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, because you lost some and Micah Parsons at
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: least get that back with a first round pick. All right,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Zach in Atlanta?
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Hey, what's up? Nick? And Frisco?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Man, I'm a longtime caller, but a first time listener
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: had no idea you had this whole show with Beam.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: I thought we were just kind of catching up from
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: time to time throughout the week. But apparently there's a
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: whole storyline nation.
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: Is that right?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: That is right? That is right where we're going with this.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Here's where we're going with Tony Romo? Color blind? Because
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: why did we wear white uniforms and it still seems
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: like we wear white reforms all the time. I thought
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: he was colorblind when I was a kid. I was like,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: can he not see the blue uniform in the end zone?
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: Like?
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: What was going on?
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: All about?
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: To say, Nick, this is kind of what I'd rather
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: talk about. This team is frustrating. I feel deflated. Like
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: all the other storyliners the bit aside, it's still keep Jeep.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: I do want to make it work, but it's just
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: it's kind of it's kind of frustrating. Deck has been
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: healthy this whole season, and you just needed the defense
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: to be somewhere around the middle of the pack to
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: carry them for three or four wins, you know, So
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: it's just it's frustrating. We all feel it. But we've
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: got a few more games. I'm going to enjoy it
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: technically not eliminated. Anything can happen. This is the NFC East,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: right There hasn't been a repeat winner in twenty something years,
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: So maybe that trend I think, yeah, yeah, But but
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: kind of on you know, draft picks and all that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Do you have any idea of what our comp picks
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: are going to look like? I'm trying to think of
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: who we lost last year, where they're at now. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: know you're not yeah jazz about talking about the draft,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: but I'll leave with that. Man, let's let's get a win.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Cowboys win thirty one twenty seven.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: All right, sounds good. I think it's out there. I'd
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: like it's projected picks. I don't know if they're always right,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: but I think if you search that right now, Cowboys
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: comp picks for twenty twenty six, I think they have
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: projections based off of the players that they lost. The
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: max you can get is four, and I would imagine
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys are going to be close to that. When
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you think about DeMarcus Lawrence, because they because what they
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: brought in. It's also the formula is kind of it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: always confusing, but it's it's about who you lost, and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: then how much money that they signed for, and then
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: what what they kind of what they did as well,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and then also what you brought in off set that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And you gotta remember, like Pickens and some of these
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: veterans are not free agents that they were trade so
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think they equate in there. I would imagine
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis, Rico Daddle, the Marcus Lawrence, I'm missing somebody.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You probably have a good shot for four, all four
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: of the compics, and I don't know exactly which round,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: but you know, depending on what Rico Daddle does, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you have a shot there. And Chris in the back said,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I just threwbout twelve and twenty two. Right now it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: fourteen and twenty three, that that would be them the
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: draft order as of right now fourteen and obviously Green
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Bay's at twenty three. But that we'll see what you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you gotta see what they do in the playoffs and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: all that. All right, Albert and Philly, what's up? Albert?
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Hey next? Hadaen and him Fuffy long long time hey, then.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: First time caller on the storyline. I know, I know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: here we go, man, how you been?
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: But but I hope you hear them there.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Well Cowboys fan of Philly. That's not easy, especially.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: This year since nineteen seventy six. It's never easy. But
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: it's life, it's it's life blood. What can I say?
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: You know, and well I'm about to say will probably
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: be proof of that. In regards to you, I could
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: sit here and talk about the past and what's going
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: on right now, but kind of will look a little
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: bit towards the future. And I'm thinking that for the
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: first time in forever, which shouldn't be. If Jerry really
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: knew our history, maybe a dream of mine could have
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: a shot by Shadi because my lifelong dream for a
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: long time now has been bringing home number thirty two.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Dennis Thurman is our defense coordinator. That would greatly help
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: Trayvon Diggs because he's great. You know. Burman comes from
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: the Landry era, Rex Ryan's secondhand man, whether it be
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: in the Jets Land or Ravens Land, so he brings
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: those concepts place pressed man coverage. I think letting digs
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: go out of this building would be huge because in
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: my opinion, it doesn't matter if you have our greatest
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: two corners that ever play for our franchise, better people,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: no ran for Everson Walls. If your free safety is garbage,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: which it has been for the past two decades since
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: George teg Where are you going, it doesn't matter if
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: we need to get that. I believe it's Caleb Downs.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: He's a free safety, right the best free safety come
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: out of dress a little while. I think, and look
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: at the name I'm wearing Michael Down's jersey right now.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Look at that name. Kind of irony?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, yeah, no, I hear what you're
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: what you're saying, all right, yeah, I mean a lot
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of a lot of moving parts there and and nothing
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: has moved yet. That's kind of the the thing we
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: got to be careful, you know about. I really don't
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: even know where where Dennis Thurman is as as it
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: stands right now, and who I don't really keep up
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: with other coordinators and stuff like that unless Cowboys have
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: played him or where college I know he's been in
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: college or whatever. I don't really know. It doesn't matter.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: We can't really talk about that anyways. And Cowboys have
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: a coordinator and Treyvon Diggs is on the team, So
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: all all these things are here, and that's what makes
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: this show tricky. And that's why I'm sure that it's
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna not gonna have as many callers
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: here in the next few weeks or so, because what
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: people want to talk about is we're really not not
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: there yet. So I understand, I get all that, Uh well,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: we'll we'll fight through it here, but uh, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I like, I like what you're thinking and and and
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I do think this they've got to figure out in
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: these next three games or so, who's who's here, you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: who's who's gonna be here, and and and what they have,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you know, and then from there and why not say
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: what they have, what these players are like, kind of
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: get a better feel for them. And so then when
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you get to the offseason and coaching staff and if
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you're making changes and all that, understand your personnel, probably
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: better than than than you did. Understand the personnel and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: figure out what they can do, what they can't do,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and and the scheme's gotta gotta be tweaked for that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I think the scheme is what it is from the coordinator,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: but you can obviously tweak it. So that's that's something
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: that that has to happen. But you know that they
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: got to make sure these guys are here in the offseason.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: That's that's a big part of it, you know. But
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys knew what Trayvon Digs was. He
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: wasn't here this offseason. He was, he was banged up,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: but they knew what he was. And you know, again,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to get into the Trayvon thing because
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it's just a it's just a mystery. And I'd be
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: shocked if he was here next year, just because I'll
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: be shocked if he plays this week, you know what
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, Like he's not playing and he thinks he's healthy,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and he says he's healthy and he's not playing. So
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine next year it would be, you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: anything different than that. All right, let's go Robin Vegas.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 15:53
  Speaker 13: Rob?
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 15:55
  Speaker 13: Nick?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 15:57
  Speaker 11: I'm doing good? It's great. They just just like sixty
• 16:02
  Speaker 11: fives nice.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: What does Christmas morning look like for you? For you?
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: Now? Yeah, I mean my kids obviously thirty so it's
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: they come over and no, no, we do it on
• 16:17
  Speaker 11: Christmas Eve, because we have a big thing where all
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: my kids come over and brother in law and we
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: do everything Christmas Eve.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Do you wear the Santa hat? I feel like you do.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like no.
• 16:33
  Speaker 11: Honestly, my wife would usually buy everybody Golden Knight's pajamas
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: or something like that every year, and everybody would put
• 16:41
  Speaker 11: those on. We take a picture and we'd hang out.
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: But no, I don't. I don't think that I.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Could just I could see you doing that, you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: You're like I could see you being like borderline scrooge like,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: but also like, all right, I'll play along. I'll wear
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the hat. Open your dama.
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: Oh no, no, I'm I'm the fun one. We do
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: all the games we do. We Yeah, No, I'm definitely
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: the fun uncle, the fun you know. I don't have
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: any grandkids, but that'd be fun.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: You see what I'm doing here. I mean, I'm trying
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: to like talk about Christmas and all that bring some heat,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and I'm.
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: Trying to it's it's it's not heat. We we have
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: these conversations and I hear the fans talk about it,
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: and I don't know if it's because the fans have
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: just been beaten down over the years or when we
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: talk about Shotting and I hear people, you know, he's
• 17:38
  Speaker 11: changing the culture, and he's it's like we're treating him
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: like he's the backup quarterback. You know, everybody loves the
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: backup quarterback because they have hope, Oh maybe he's.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Going to be this.
• 17:49
  Speaker 11: And then when he comes in uh and wins a
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: couple of games, we always give him a pants because
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: he's the backup. Well, what did he expect? He's the backup?
• 17:59
  Speaker 11: And that's what we're doing with Shotty. You know, he
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: got six wins and everybody, you know, and I hear
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: people talk about he's changing the culture. We're on the
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: right pack. They got six wins. It's a big downgrade
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: from Mike McCartney. You could say what you want about
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: Mike McCarty. The man went twelve to five three years
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: in a row. We're not even in the vicinity of that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: And I just don't I don't know why we treat
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: him like that. If if he was hired, you know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: you would never hire a guy that you don't think
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: could do the job. It's like it's like we're talking
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: about Shotty, like we didn't expect him to be good. Well,
• 18:38
  Speaker 11: if you doesn't expect him to be good. He has
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: no business being head coach of the Dallas Cowboys because
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: you hire a guy you expect to take you the
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: next step. Well, the next step is second out of
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: the playoffs NFC Championship game. And I know the defense
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: is garbage, but that was we talked about it. That
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: was Jerry ibra Fluse. If here's my biggest thing with
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: the coach. And it's not just him, it's been coaches.
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: If you thought Iba Flush was bad at what he
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: was doing, he should have fired him. But he doesn't
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: have the power to fire because that wasn't even his guy.
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: Jerry hired him. And that's what that's why I don't
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: want it. I never wanted to coach a first time coach.
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: They just don't have the power because they don't have
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: no skins on the wall. And Eba flu should have
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: been let go. So the caller said it, if you
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: would have had an average defense middle of the pack,
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: you probably have three three role wins at least.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: So I don't know.
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: I just sit here and I'm saying maybe I'm old school.
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: I just see the fans like giving him a participation
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: trophy and I'm like, no, I don't do that. It's
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: been a failure. Now that doesn't mean he won't be better,
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: he can't get better. But I'm just talking about right now, right.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I get it well and and and and totally totally
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: justified on the on the things that that you said, Rob,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: We're gonna keep it rolling. Hey, if I don't talk
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: to your grand merry Christmas, hopefully call next week. We
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: got two shows before Christmas next week, all right, Rob,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the one thing I'll say to this and and you
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: know we could go back and forth all day long
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: and all that, and it would eat up most of
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: the show. I mean, I'll just point out because I
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily disagree. I mean, I think when we look
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: at what what Shoty's year is, it's it's been you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: he's had a couple of things that have gone against
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: him a little bit. When you think about, all right,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: maybe he didn't pick this defensive coordinator. I'm sure he
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: signed off, but that doesn't mean you know, at that point,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it is what it is, and and
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: why wouldn't you get Ebflus, I mean, e Reflus was
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: a good defensive coordinator this year hasn't been good at all.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: But you know, so he didn't he didn't pick that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: He probably didn't. I mean, he didn't trade Micah Parsons.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: And either way, they switched out the best player on
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: their team for two first round picks that are obviously
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: not here yet. And then they kind of then they
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: took one and made got Quinn Williams and they got better.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And so players matter, We know that. I think when
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you look at what they did in the middle of
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the season, you know, going through the worst tragedy that
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you could think of from it for a team and
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: figure out a way to keep them together, keep them strong,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: go win three games in a row against some good teams.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive too. Now you're gonna compare him to McCarthy,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: you know, like Rob said, three to twelve win seasons
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: in a row, and he's right. They did go seven
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: to ten last year. They went six and ten back
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: when they played sixteen games his first year. And if
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: you want to throw Covid in there and defensive coordinator
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff, fine, because it was a different year. Challenges,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: not the same challenge as Shot. He went through with
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: challenges and he got better and they figured it out,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: and they drafted Michael Parsons and they got better. You know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: so I think I don't know if people are giving
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: him a pass, but but you got to have a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: little bit of patience, just like the Cowboys had and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: maybe the fans and Jerry Jones had with Mike McCarthy
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: after that first year. Let's go to break Cowboys starting
• 22:23

  Speaker 2: So support from my guy Danny McCrae. Out there doing
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: good work, doing the most good. All right back here
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: on Cowboys Story, i'npresented by Jillette. I got two guys
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: on the line that have been holding. One of them's
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the captain. I'm gonna get to him, but let me
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: just say this real quick. So I thought, you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Rob was making some good points. He was talking about
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: McCarthy in twelve and five last year, I mean a
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: lot for three years in a row and all that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And I pointed out that they went six and ten
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: his first year, and I remember Dak did get hurt.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: That changes everything. That was the COVID year. So weird,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: weird stuff happened there. But you know, I also say
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: this too about culture, and culture is going to take
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit change. But if you would have seen,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: i mean practice here in the last couple of years
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: has got it got out of control. It really did
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: you see guys that you're veteran players kind of jacking
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: around off to the side playing catch because they were
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: supposed to be hurt and injured but not out there
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: but still distracting all that. Of course you say that now,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: and there's games this year where that don't look like
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: they practice that well either. So every team's got its challenges.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Every everything it's different. I think shoddy in season one.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I'll say this. I think I'm interested to see how
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: this thing continues to build and what happens next year.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Dylan is up, he's in north Port, Florida. What's up doing.
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: You?
• 25:52
  Speaker 17: Thanks for holding Yeah, no worry. That's fitting that I
• 25:55
  Speaker 17: go after Rob. I was hoping I get in performs.
• 25:57
  Speaker 17: I wanted to address what something you said yesterday, but
• 25:59
  Speaker 17: I'll start with what it's called today and then just
• 26:01
  Speaker 17: quickly pivot to yesterday. Sometimes like and Rob, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 17: I love you. I'm not gonna have to you a
• 26:06
  Speaker 17: big dog. But like man, sometimes my guy says things
• 26:09
  Speaker 17: and I'm like, what the hell is he talking about?
• 26:11
  Speaker 17: And I don't say hell, Nick, you know, it's another
• 26:12
  Speaker 17: four letter word, but I can't say.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: It on air.
• 26:14
  Speaker 17: Like Mike McCarthy did so well all those years because
• 26:19
  Speaker 17: his defensive line put more pressure on the quarterback than
• 26:22
  Speaker 17: any other team in the NFL for three years in
• 26:24
  Speaker 17: a row. He had Micah Parsons. Okay, they forced a
• 26:26
  Speaker 17: bunch of turnovers and the offense fed into that and
• 26:29
  Speaker 17: it fed more stuff to the defense.
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: Was a cycle.
• 26:32
  Speaker 17: That was a great, great relationship. The Cowboys don't have
• 26:35
  Speaker 17: that right now. Their defense is is but cheeks. There's
• 26:38
  Speaker 17: no other word for it's terrible. Their defense is terrible.
• 26:41
  Speaker 17: Some of them has to do with the defensive coordinator.
• 26:43
  Speaker 17: Some of us do with the personel And and Dave
• 26:45
  Speaker 17: jan I wish you had listened to me before the season, man.
• 26:47
  Speaker 17: I tried to warn you these linebackers, corners, there's all
• 26:49
  Speaker 17: you know, defensive interior. Now I kind of flip floped
• 26:52
  Speaker 17: the defensive in tiers better the edges and no question
• 26:54
  Speaker 17: mark after the trade. But like there were there were
• 26:57
  Speaker 17: holes and question marks all over the defense, and you know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 17: and got enhanced by the DC. So it's kind of
• 27:02
  Speaker 17: an unfortunate situation there. But the two things Rob said,
• 27:06
  Speaker 17: you know yesterday, he said that a team building and
• 27:10
  Speaker 17: team and reloading. Right, he said, you don't rebuild when
• 27:12
  Speaker 17: you have a big money quarterback. Well, the Chiefs are
• 27:14
  Speaker 17: about to be in a two year rebuild. And that's
• 27:16
  Speaker 17: what the best quarterback in the league, who's making eighty
• 27:18
  Speaker 17: million next year or his capit is eighty million next year,
• 27:21
  Speaker 17: like what you have windows in the NFL. The NFL
• 27:25
  Speaker 17: is built to be cyclical. You get three four years
• 27:27
  Speaker 17: and then you got to you got to rebuild a
• 27:29
  Speaker 17: year or two. And that's just that's what's that's what
• 27:31
  Speaker 17: it is. You don't have the Patriots, you don't have
• 27:33
  Speaker 17: a ten year dynasty with the Chiefs. That's not a
• 27:35
  Speaker 17: normal thing. The lead's not built for that. And so
• 27:38
  Speaker 17: right now, the Cowboys are in the year and I
• 27:40
  Speaker 17: don't think you'll send the next year. I think this
• 27:42
  Speaker 17: year they did a good job at adding some pieces
• 27:44
  Speaker 17: and hopefully next year they get a different DC like
• 27:46
  Speaker 17: everybody wants and adds some more defensive pieces. I don't
• 27:49
  Speaker 17: I think they'll open the start to open the window
• 27:51
  Speaker 17: again next season, right and I think the next two
• 27:54
  Speaker 17: three years will be really good for Dallas. But that
• 27:56
  Speaker 17: goes into the Schottenheimer. I think he's building a culture.
• 27:58
  Speaker 17: He's building towards something. You can't just get instant results
• 28:01
  Speaker 17: every single season. Every time you make a big change,
• 28:04
  Speaker 17: like a new coaching staff, new coach, it doesn't work
• 28:06
  Speaker 17: that way, my dude. And like one more thing, and
• 28:09
  Speaker 17: I don't taking a lot of time, but one more thing.
• 28:11
  Speaker 17: He also said that you don't you build through free
• 28:14
  Speaker 17: agency on the draft. You got that backwards. You one
• 28:16
  Speaker 17: hundred percent built to the draft and not free agency.
• 28:18
  Speaker 17: You wenthand through free agency. Your draft picks are cheap
• 28:21
  Speaker 17: that you get them for four or five years, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 17: that's your fuel for your team, your rocket fuel.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:27
  Speaker 17: The thing that boosts you over the top is your
• 28:29
  Speaker 17: free agency, your big high end money guys, high end
• 28:31
  Speaker 17: contracts that you get as mercenaries. Those guys in hands
• 28:34
  Speaker 17: your roster. But that's not your foundation. Your foundation is
• 28:36
  Speaker 17: the draft. So that's all I got bro about to say.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, thanks, Dylan, kind of hated man, a little
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: fired up. You know what, I agree with you there.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem that they they really haven't drafted well,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I mean like they when you when you go back
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and look at the last four drafts or so, I
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: mean five drafts, I mean really, I mean twenty twenty twenty.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I guess twenty twenty to now it's six drafts and
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at the middle because your first round picks
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: are supposed to. You know, we already went through the
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: second round picks and they they they're I don't think
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: they met the standard. But fourth and fifth round, the third,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: fourth and fifth round, I mean, you've got to hit
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: on some of these guys. These guys have got to
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: be good, good players for you. And when I look
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: at this, you know, I look at the Neville Galamore,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Reggie Robinson, Tyler Biottish, Bradley and I Biattish made the
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowl. Good player that didn't resign him, uh Osa Golston,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Nashaun Wright, Jabril Cox, Josh Ball, Simmi Fajoco, Jalen Tolbert,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Jake Ferguson, Matt will lets Go, Den Bland, John Ridgeway.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: So you got a couple of Pro bowlers there in
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. This is all third, fourth, you know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: fifth round overshown. I think I think it's going to
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: be a good player. Junior Fojoko, Sorry, some Richards not awesome,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Eric Scott, and then you got you know, Cooper Beebe
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: starting mayslea foul hasn't hasn't turned that corner yet, uh
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Kaylin Carson, Ryan Flinoy is a sixth round pick, maybe
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: something there. So I mean, those are the guys that
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: you've got to you know, you've got to. That's how
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: you really build through the draft. I mean the first
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: second or third, first second pick is supposed to be good,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: but third, fourth, fifth, you're not. They're not all going
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: to hit. But I think more than that need to hit,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: need to be starters. That's how you, I think get
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: over the top is you have cheap help that the
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: guys that are good players. And then there's a couple
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: in there. I mean Bland and Ferguson and and and
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: be Odish. We're good. We'll see about overshown. But for
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the most part, I don't. I don't think it has
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: been as good as it needed to be. Lester in
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Minnesota's next, come on and next.
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: Hey man, I want to just piggyback on something you
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: were talking about earlier, when you were talking about when
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: you change coaches. You know, in this case, you were
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: talking about the defensive Well, I don't know if you're
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: talking about defense crudure, but anyway, we'll just say coaches,
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: you have to evaluate the talent you know for the
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: next coach to make sure it's fit. But also I
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: want to piggyback on that. When you're getting rid of
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: players Jordan Lewis, the Marcus Lawrence, the players like that,
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: you have to also you look at the salary, of course,
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: but you have to also look at the impact that
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: those particular players have on the locker room, those particular
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: players as leaders. Okay, you're getting rid of them, find
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: the salary, et cetera. But who's going to replace those players?
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: See?
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: So, you you become what I call and I don't
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: mean it as a you know, I'm not trying to
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: be funny or anything, but it's called leaderless armies. You
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: have all these talents, but you either lost all your
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: leadership and you didn't replace them, or you didn't look
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: at the replacement for them. Yes, the salary and all
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: of that, Yeah, we need to replace he need to replenished,
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: but you have to look at who's going to replace
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: that leadership. And that's part of the problem, I believe,
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: from my opinion, I think that's what happened to Diggs.
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: Part of what happened to him. He's a leader on defense,
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: a defensive backs. He probably I don't know this for sure,
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: but he probably had the cachet to go to the
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: coaches and say hey, we you know, in private, we
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: don't do this, or let's try this or that. And
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: again I don't know this for a fact. I believe
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: that's what he did. And someone got offended. Maybe, and
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: now you know he's but he was used to doing
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: that because I've been a part of a team where
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: I was a leader and then they changed the feat
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: personnel and I went to the new personnel, and then
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: people got offended. But I was always doing that for years.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: You see what I'm saying. I'm understand that that's what
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: happened to him, But I'm just getting back to my point.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: When you replace these players, get rid of them or
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: trade them or whatever, you have to look at who's
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: if they're leaders. If they are leaders, who's going to
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: replace that?
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's all I got to say.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Cowboys, all right, thanks Lester. Yeah, I don't really know
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: how to respond to that. I mean, I know the
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: guys that they lost, Yeah, they lost to Marcus Lawrence,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis. You know there were veteran players, Brandon Cooks,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: they lost him. It's a veteran player and a leader.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Just because you're a veteran doesn't meet your leader. I don't.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I don't see Trayvon Diggs as a leader. I don't.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I don't see that. But then again, those are things
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: you don't necessarily see. I mean, and leadership isn't just
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: about the guys screaming in the middle of the huddle,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: like ray Lewis saying where my dog's at and all
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. That's not necessarily just the leader.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Now I'm saying ray Lewis is, But I'm you know,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think you Just because you are
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the guy that does that doesn't make you a leader.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: And just because you're a quiet guy a little bit
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: more reserved Amari Cooper like, doesn't mean you don't lead
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: in your own way as well. So those things are
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: always hard to quantify, and they're easy to say about
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: that this team has no heart, no leadership, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: no focus, no discipline. You know. Those are things you
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: just can't see, and they're easy to say, and you
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: can't really be wrong because nobody can approve you, you know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: prove it either way. All right, Irene false Church Virginia, Irene,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: what's up y, good morning? How are you good?
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: You all right?
• 34:35
  Speaker 10: All right?
• 34:36
  Speaker 18: You know a little sad about the state of our team,
• 34:38
  Speaker 18: but it is what it is, I guess.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:40
  Speaker 18: Yeah, So when I talk about something that heard it
• 34:44
  Speaker 18: on air but also really a lot on Twitter, this
• 34:47
  Speaker 18: idea about the offense letting the team down, right, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 18: I had to look into it. They are the number
• 34:54
  Speaker 18: four scoring defense in the league, and yeah, okay, if
• 34:59
  Speaker 18: they got up to number three, maybe we don't tie,
• 35:01
  Speaker 18: and maybe we beat the Panther, so maybe we have
• 35:04
  Speaker 18: two more wins. Great, But I don't know. When you're
• 35:07
  Speaker 18: looking at a team, if you're thinking at the beginning
• 35:08
  Speaker 18: of the year, oh, we're going to have the top
• 35:10
  Speaker 18: five all scoring offense, you're thinking we're gonna be in
• 35:13
  Speaker 18: pretty good shape, right, So then you look at the
• 35:15
  Speaker 18: defense and they are the number thirty one team in
• 35:17
  Speaker 18: points allowed. They have they have given up four hundred
• 35:21
  Speaker 18: and twenty points, right. So and then also with the
• 35:26
  Speaker 18: I looked it up with the with the Vikings, they
• 35:30
  Speaker 18: we had the fourth tie for fourth on the most
• 35:33
  Speaker 18: amount of points scored against them. So you know, yes,
• 35:37
  Speaker 18: we didn't get the job done, but we let It's
• 35:41
  Speaker 18: a bigger issue to let McCarthy have time to carve
• 35:45
  Speaker 18: us up than it is not to score and maybe
• 35:48
  Speaker 18: if we go for it more on fourth down, we
• 35:49
  Speaker 18: would actually score less or we would have won the game.
• 35:53
  Speaker 18: I don't know's if it's always yamble, right, that's the thing, right,
• 35:57
  Speaker 18: So yeah, I don't know.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: I just wanted.
• 35:58
  Speaker 18: To say, hey, top five offense, something we want, And
• 36:02
  Speaker 18: then I just a quick comment on mister Giggs. Just
• 36:06
  Speaker 18: I don't know what that non report report was that
• 36:09
  Speaker 18: Jane said that, hey, we got to be sensitive about this,
• 36:13
  Speaker 18: and Trayvon wants to clear it up to some extent,
• 36:16
  Speaker 18: like there's a really easy way to clear this up.
• 36:18
  Speaker 18: But anyway, I'll leave it at that. But that's all
• 36:20
  Speaker 18: I got. Take care.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everybody saw that coming. They saw that
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: conversation happening in the locker room with she was talking
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: to him while he's sitting on top of a trash can. Yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: and I just I had a feeling that there was
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: gonna be kind of this weird, you know, cryptic message
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: that said stuff, But not really, because those conversations are
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: they're always interesting because the players saying a lot of stuff,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: and if he really wanted it all out, he'd probably
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: say it in front of the cameras. So when you
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: don't do that, then it's up to the reporter to
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: kind of figure out what they can say and kind of,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: you know, you gotta get something here for this exclusive conversation,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: but without burning the player and all that, so that
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: that's sort of what happened. I didn't see all the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: tweets and all that or messages or whatever she does,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: but I did. We did see that conversation happening, and
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: knew that there'd be something out of it. And I'm
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: sure he's got a lot on his side of the
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: story that he wants to tell and he probably will
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: at some point here. All right, let's go to break
• 37:27

• 39:02
  Speaker 2: New York. What's up?
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: And what's up?
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: How are you good? Are you?
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I'm good?
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: Thanks?
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Just struggling with all the fans, with our with our season.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: But I just just want to say I'm a big
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: supporter in Shoddy. I think he's done a great job
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: with what you know, he's had to deal with this year.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: So I want to squash the the people say that
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: we need.
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: A new coach.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: He's he's done a great job. Respect what he's done.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: The culture is building there. I like the Neeland scenario
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: that came up that you know, the Parsons getting traded
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Rick for the season. A lot of stuff this guy's
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: had to deal with, and I think he's done a
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: great job. Can he improve yep, just like the rest
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: of these players and the team that can improve as well.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: We all need to improve and get better. I don't
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: agree with the offense letting us down. I mean we're
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: one of the best offense in the league. I do
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: think we can get better on the tackles, the right
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: tackle especially, and you know, hopefully the left hout comes
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: back and show some some progress as well. But defensively,
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: we need to do a better job. Against the Vikings.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: It wasn't just offense, it wasn't just defense, it was
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: all three phases of the game. We need to get better.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: But offensively, I like what we have on offense. Again,
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: I think we should in the draft, focus probably on
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: the tackle and then defensively, I would like to move
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: on from Matt to be honest and look look elsewhere.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Defensive coordinator next year, and definitely as far as draft,
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: linebacker and probably you know, corner. Definitely those are the
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: two positions I would go after. But again, I don't
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: think this is not a successful season. I think it's
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: you know, we got to show improvement. I think we
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: have and I think the last couple of games are
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: going to go a long ways and showing some more improvement. Yeah,
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: and that's all I got for today.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: All right, appreciate it. Yeah, I'm with you on that
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: defense is going to be the top priority there. But
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: you know, offense isn't perfect, and I don't know if
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: it's going to be. It goes back to Irene's call
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: to like, you know, offense struggle at times. You know
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: this is you do have a you know, first year
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: coach and figuring out the play calling and all that.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought it was. It was good from
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: an offensive standpoint, remember too, like you know, they got
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of yards and a lot of points because
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: they had to keep scoring a lot down a lot,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: you know, and and or you know, just because you've
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: got twenty four points on the board doesn't mean that
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: the game's out of reach. So that's part of it.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: But then then the flip side too that if the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: defense was better, you probably get the ball a lot
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: more more turnovers, you probably score even more points, You
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: have more you know, drives that start in positive territory
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: or you know, close to midfield. So the defense obviously
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: let this team down. And there's there's and it starts
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: at the top, and you know, all the way at
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the top, and and and trading away the best player
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: and then just not having enough to replace them. They
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: just don't have any pass rush on no outside rush.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: They get some interior rush now and again, but they
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: just don't have consistent pass rush on the outside and
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: it affects the entire team. All right, let's go Ronnie
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Ronnie, what's up?
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: How's it going?
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: Nick?
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 42:07
  Speaker 14: How are you?
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Bun?
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: It's not too bad. I was listening to you and
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: and everybody on the on the calls, But I I
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: kind of disagree when when Rob mentioned about McCarthy, I'm
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: glad McCarthy's now there. McCarty was such a great coach.
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: How come nobody else picked him up. I'm sorry, McCarthy,
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: I got lucky he had a good team whatever this
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: and that he did a few good things. She can't
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: just dump on McCarthy. But he wasn't gonna take this
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: team anywhere. I'm sorry. I don't care who says what.
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: I didn't see McCarthy ass or the guy, the savior
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: that was going to make this team that much better.
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: It was going downhill with him.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: To be fair, I don't think. I don't think Rob
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: does either. I think what he's saying is is that
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: that you know, this guy is replacing a coach that
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: won twelve games three years in a row. So why
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: is he getting a pass for having a six win
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: season when the guy that most people wanted was better
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: than that. That's I think what he's saying. I don't
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: think he's saying should have kept McCarthy. He's just saying,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: if that's the standard that wasn't good enough, then why
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: aren't we you know, why aren't we holding this guy
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: to the same thing. But so I I understand both sides.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I just I think that's what he's what he was saying.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: The point he was making.
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: Verry Switzer won a Super Bowl.
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: But that was Jimmy Johnson's team. He built it. He
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: created that. He created the atmosphere, the players, the work
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: ethic like, he created that. You know what I'm saying.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: Jimmy Johnson created that.
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: Not not.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Very Switzer, very switch.
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: Very Switcher came in. He had it for one year
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: and then after that it went downhill.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, ring, you know what I'm saying,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: not exactly, but yeah, yeah, he you know, they were,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: they were They were pretty good for three years in
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: a row. They were pretty good.
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: And so so I don't like, I don't want to
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: continue on the defensive coordinator. But his then was that
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: his defense is built on defensive tackles, the interior and linebackers.
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: What's this team doing with defensive tackles? They got some
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: really good defensive tackles, you know, in the rotation starters
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: from other teams that are legit players, and you haven't
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: seen much aside from the first two three weeks that
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: you saw out of both players when they were first
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: traded for you've seen them going downhill. Linebackers, you chose
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: those two linebackers that you have. So the linebacker whisper whatever.
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: Linebackers are like worse than the NFL playing the worst
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: in the NFL. So what does that tell you? I mean,
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: it's not always going to be the players. Yeah, the
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: players have some fault. But you're supposed to be this
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: genius for defensive tackles. Your schemes are based around defensive
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: tackles and linebackers. When remember when we first traded for
• 44:50
  Speaker 7: Quinny Williams, I was like, Nick, well, now you get
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: to evaluate ebra cluis and see well evaluations over them. Yeah,
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: so I know you don't want a tendency it's according again,
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: but you might.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Have to might have to do I'm at the point
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: where you might have to. I mean, like I get it.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know if we saw a lot
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: of progress there, but but you know, there's a lot
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: of things involved and things happening behind closed doors. They
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: got to figure that out. But you know, if it
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: makes sense to make a change, then then they need
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: to do that. Let's go JR and Avondale Arizona to
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: wrap us up. JR. What's up?
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: JR?
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Are you there?
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Good? How are you doing?
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: I'm doing great? How about yourself?
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I'm good?
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: Hey, so I'd fly my Dallas Cowboys flag from the
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: day of the first preseason game till the Cowboys are
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: done playing. The reason my flag won't be flying at
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: the end of January versus the beginning of January, it's
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: because of Matt Eberslus and I don't give him. I'm
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: generally greatly positive. I don't give him a pass at all.
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: You lost, Michael Parsons, I get it, But it's called
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: manufacturing pressure. How do you not blitz to get pressure?
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: You can't just say, well, I lost Micah. Oh, well,
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: I'm not going to be able to rush the passer
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: and get destroyed in the back end of the defense.
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: How do you not blit? Guys like JJ McCarthy, how
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: is that? That would been my whole plan? Fourth and
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: three at the most pivotal point of the game, and
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: you basically rush one guy and give up a twenty
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: three yard pass. You lost the game right there, because
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: if you get the stop and go down and score
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: it up by thirteen points, you're going to win the game.
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: And you don't. You can't just not rush the passer.
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: And if you don't have Mikey, you got to find
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: a way to rush rush the passer when Brian Schottenheimer
• 46:42
  Speaker 8: took the job, and I think Brian's doing a great job,
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: he said in this one thing I liked in his
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: introductory conference, he said, the mark of a good coach
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: is a coach who adjusts his schemes and his philosophy
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: to the skills of this players, not the other way around.
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: And Matt Eberfluss is not done that because you still
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: got guys running down the middle of the field uncovered,
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: just like you did at the beginning of the season.
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: How does Taylor Williams the first time in his career
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: he didn't get sacked. How does JJ McCarthy two for
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: one hundred and forty eight yards in the first half,
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: the most yards he's ever thrown, four and a half.
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: Bryce Young, you make it.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever you're about to say, I agree with. So, yeah,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: your call cut off, understand the call. You're you're right,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: and uh, that's the what's what they said? Remember what
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: they said in the press conference that Micah was traded.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Jerry said it, Steven said it maybe shoddy about you
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: can generate pass rush. You can't really do that again
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: stopping the run either. You guys, you got the guys
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: that could do it, or you can't, but you can
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: always generate pass rush, that's what they said, and they didn't.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: They did not. They could not. They did not generate
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: pass for us this year. With the guys that they have,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: and even adding Quinn Williams helped some from the from
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: the middle, we saw some better games out of the
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: guys on the outside. Dante Faller maybe played better with
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: him here, Osa played better, of course, you know, and
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: and and Jendavian Clowney a little bit better too. So yeah,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: that that helped at times. But but for the most
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: part now they did not not on a consistent basis,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: and not against quarterbacks that that weren't good, you know,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: against against the Blitz and they just didn't attack them
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: like like I think they should, like JR. Thinks they should,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: and a lot a lot of people did. So, you know,
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: they said they could generate pass rushing, that they didn't.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: And that's that's I think the biggest downfall of the season.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: And in the defense there. All right, guys, we'll be
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: back tomorrow to talk about the Chargers game. I don't
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: even think we even mentioned the Chargers, but we're talking
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: about next year. Schemes, all that good stuff. All right,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: we'll do it again tomorrow for Chris Beam. I'm nick
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: even see then.
