- 1:56Speaker 5: let's start with the phone line. Let's go to I'm
- 1:58Speaker 5: a in Napa, CALIFORNI.
- 2:00Speaker 7: You know, I mean, hey, Nick, how's it going? Good morning?
- 2:04Speaker 7: Or it's good morning out here in California?
- 2:06Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll still we've still got morning here a little bit.
- 2:09Speaker 3: All right, how are you? Yeah?
- 2:11Speaker 7: I'm great, man, I'm great. I'm glad to get through
- 2:14Speaker 7: to you. You're a hard man to get hold of.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Well, it's easy when you start us off, man, When
- 2:19Speaker 5: you do it, when you do it first, you know
- 2:20Speaker 5: you're the leadoff batter.
- 2:22Speaker 7: So let's roll all right, Hey, So a couple of things.
- 2:26Speaker 7: I'd like to get to football first. I think that
- 2:32Speaker 7: you know, I've been listening to the show. I don't
- 2:34Speaker 7: always get to listen to Live, but I always listen
- 2:36Speaker 7: to the playback for sure, and listening to fans and stuff,
- 2:40Speaker 7: the storyliners. You know, it's preseason. I don't know what
- 2:45Speaker 7: we're all up in arms about. You know, I'm with you.
- 2:48Speaker 7: I think Mike is going to play. I think he's
- 2:49Speaker 7: going to be suited up, and I'm expecting a big
- 2:53Speaker 7: year from He had a solid year last year with
- 2:56Speaker 7: injuries and everything, and a much less into defense around
- 3:01Speaker 7: him this year. He's going to have a lot of
- 3:03Speaker 7: guys with him. If we you know, I heard you
- 3:06Speaker 7: say before, like if we can get him into a
- 3:08Speaker 7: third and long or a third and passing situation. I
- 3:12Speaker 7: like our chances with our rushers kneeling, kicking inside, Oozie,
- 3:17Speaker 7: you know, always doing his thing in the middle. And
- 3:20Speaker 7: then we have multiple guys you know Fowler, you know,
- 3:23Speaker 7: d Rock, dam Williams. He looks like he's hungry for
- 3:29Speaker 7: for some money. So you know, I think you line
- 3:32Speaker 7: those four guys up and then you you add Parsons
- 3:35Speaker 7: in as that fifth guy. Let him pick out who
- 3:38Speaker 7: he wants to go against or where he wants to
- 3:41Speaker 7: eat off of, you know, every game, and you know, again,
- 3:44Speaker 7: it's about getting them into those situations. And I just
- 3:48Speaker 7: I like, I like the talent on our team in
- 3:51Speaker 7: comparisons last year. And you know, I was out at
- 3:54Speaker 7: training camp watched some of the some of the early
- 3:58Speaker 7: offensive stuff that was happening, and then it was like
- 4:00Speaker 7: there's a lot of the scream behind the line of
- 4:04Speaker 7: scrimmage stuff and they didn't look like they were running
- 4:07Speaker 7: the ball really well, and there's a lot of concern there.
- 4:10Speaker 7: But you know, I just think there's still a young
- 4:13Speaker 7: team and it's a long season. I know, you know,
- 4:17Speaker 7: fans don't want to hear long season. They want to
- 4:19Speaker 7: win now, and I do too. But I just I
- 4:23Speaker 7: like the team.
- 4:24Speaker 8: I like it.
- 4:25Speaker 7: I'm a lot more excited about I was in last year,
- 4:28Speaker 7: and I just think there's a lot of good things there.
- 4:30Speaker 1: All right, that's awesome. Do you got anything else?
- 4:34Speaker 7: I have one last thing, Nick, and it's kind of
- 4:36Speaker 7: how you ended the show, and then even there was
- 4:39Speaker 7: some mention of it or how you ended last your
- 4:43Speaker 7: last show, but then even some mentions of it last week.
- 4:47Speaker 7: I've even touched and touched on it, and you had
- 4:50Speaker 7: made a comment about the quarterback play not being good
- 4:55Speaker 7: enough to get us to an NFC championship or Super Bowl,
- 4:59Speaker 7: And I would love to just sit down one of
- 5:02Speaker 7: these days and talk with you about it, because I
- 5:05Speaker 7: do think Romo was talented enough. There was a couple
- 5:10Speaker 7: of years the team was good enough around him, and
- 5:15Speaker 7: you touched on those at the end of your show
- 5:17Speaker 7: last the other day, but I think that was cutting
- 5:21Speaker 7: him short. Creighton catches that pass you O way, it's
- 5:25Speaker 7: a different game. That defensive line gave everybody hell the
- 5:30Speaker 7: only way they beat the Patriots in the in the
- 5:32Speaker 7: Super Bowl. So to say that Romo didn't play good enough,
- 5:36Speaker 7: and then Dees's catch they didn't call a catch, you know,
- 5:42Speaker 7: Murray fumbled those balls in that game, and then to
- 5:45Speaker 7: not let then to not let him play that last year.
- 5:49Speaker 7: That team was ready to roll with the offensive line
- 5:51Speaker 7: and Zeke is a a running the ball. Romo would
- 5:55Speaker 7: have took us there. But man, I love the show
- 5:57Speaker 7: you and be and do great. I'll keep on listening, man,
- 6:00Speaker 7: and thanks a lot. I appreciate you doing a god
- 6:03Speaker 7: you're doing God's work for us Cowboys, maam.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Thank you so much. All right,
- 6:08Speaker 1: good stuff. I may.
- 6:10Speaker 5: We Yeah, I'm not gonna sit here and talk about
- 6:15Speaker 5: you know, Romo and all that. I mean, I think
- 6:18Speaker 5: I love Tony Romo. I thought he was he was great.
- 6:20Speaker 5: I'm uh, and just like I love Dak. This team
- 6:25Speaker 5: hasn't been good enough to make it to the NFC
- 6:27Speaker 5: Championship Games in thirty years. We know that they haven't
- 6:31Speaker 5: been good enough at one way or another. And so yes,
- 6:36Speaker 5: were they good enough players, sure, but the team hasn't
- 6:41Speaker 5: been good enough. And usually it goes to the quarter quarterback,
- 6:44Speaker 5: so the you know whatever. You could make that argument
- 6:48Speaker 5: all day long. I mean I I yes, Romo made
- 6:51Speaker 5: the throws and Dak has done things as well.
- 6:54Speaker 1: But you know, they didn't get the job done.
- 6:57Speaker 5: And so that's where that's where the fingers will always
- 7:00Speaker 5: be pointed, is right there then and there. But I
- 7:02Speaker 5: think it was Romo a good enough quarterback. Of course
- 7:05Speaker 5: he was good enough. And it wasn't all him, you know, yeah,
- 7:08Speaker 5: des caught it. Were they gonna stop Aaron Rodgers?
- 7:10Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think so.
- 7:12Speaker 5: So I don't ever put too much stock in the
- 7:15Speaker 5: does catch game, you know, but they they just didn't
- 7:18Speaker 5: get the job done. But it's not a slight against
- 7:21Speaker 5: Tony Romo. It's just that's that's the nature of it.
- 7:24Speaker 5: I mean, it is what it is. Dan Marino wasn't
- 7:26Speaker 5: good enough to win a Super Bowl.
- 7:27Speaker 1: He just wasn't.
- 7:28Speaker 5: I mean, they they they he was a good enough talent,
- 7:32Speaker 5: but for whatever the reason, he couldn't lead the team
- 7:36Speaker 5: to ever win one. So it is what it is.
- 7:38Speaker 5: I mean, that's just facts. And then good good stuff
- 7:41Speaker 5: on just just your enthusiasm for the team.
- 7:43Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it rolling. Brian in Kansas City's next.
- 7:47Speaker 9: Good morning, sir.
- 7:48Speaker 1: How you doing.
- 7:49Speaker 3: I'm doing good, man, I'm doing good.
- 7:51Speaker 6: Hey.
- 7:52Speaker 10: I was thinking two things today and they're they're kind
- 7:57Speaker 10: of roster management issues. So my impression from watching, you know,
- 8:03Speaker 10: both preseason and watching all the following all the shows
- 8:07Speaker 10: is that on offense, sounds like Hunter Lipke is a
- 8:11Speaker 10: safe that to be on the team regardless of where
- 8:15Speaker 10: they put him. You know, I don't think it matters.
- 8:18Speaker 10: Fifty three is fifty three, doesn't matter if you call
- 8:20Speaker 10: them the fourth back or fourth tight end or whatever.
- 8:24Speaker 10: To me, that sounds safe. I was curious if that's
- 8:28Speaker 10: that's your opinion. And then on defense, I think when
- 8:32Speaker 10: you look at the five best defensive tackles, I think
- 8:37Speaker 10: the fifth spot is between a King Besote and Mazie Smith,
- 8:41Speaker 10: which is not a good place to be if you're
- 8:43Speaker 10: a first round draft pick. But what's your opinion on that?
- 8:48Speaker 10: Is it as close as I think it is?
- 8:50Speaker 9: Because I've heard some good things about a King Besote, and.
- 8:53Speaker 10: I still haven't heard anything good about Mazie.
- 8:56Speaker 5: I haven't really seen anything from a King Besote. Honestly,
- 9:00Speaker 5: I don't know what you're seeing or hearing or you know,
- 9:01Speaker 5: and and and yes, you know, it's a long training
- 9:04Speaker 5: camp and everyone flashes here and there. But then we've
- 9:07Speaker 5: got to remember, you know, Mazzi could do the exact
- 9:11Speaker 5: same thing just a little bit better than a guy
- 9:15Speaker 5: like Jay Toye or King Besoda. And you're gonna view
- 9:18Speaker 5: it differently based off expectations. That's just the way it goes.
- 9:21Speaker 5: That's just the way that the people that you're hearing
- 9:25Speaker 5: from that are here standing outside, you know, out at practice,
- 9:29Speaker 5: that's that's their their view.
- 9:31Speaker 1: And I I've never viewed it that way. I don't.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I don't grate off the curve. I mean, like I don't.
- 9:37Speaker 5: I mean, this is if you know who's better, not
- 9:40Speaker 5: not based off of the expectations. Now the Cowboys have
- 9:44Speaker 5: to figure that out based off of money, because that
- 9:47Speaker 5: is their curve. But as far as evaluating stuff, I
- 9:50Speaker 5: just can't believe that Mazzi is gonna get cut. I'm
- 9:53Speaker 5: just not I'm not buying that one. I just don't
- 9:55Speaker 5: think that they're ready to cut ties like there like that.
- 9:59Speaker 5: And I just I think he would be on the team.
- 10:01Speaker 5: Doesn't mean he starts, doesn't mean he plays a ton,
- 10:05Speaker 5: but I would be shocked if he's not on the team.
- 10:09Speaker 9: Roger, that okay, I'm glad to get your perspective on that. Hey,
- 10:13Speaker 9: I wanted to throw at an old time player. I
- 10:14Speaker 9: haven't done that in a little while. I was wondering
- 10:17Speaker 9: if you had a story on Patrick Creighton and I'll
- 10:19Speaker 9: hang up and listen to that story.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Brother, all I appreciate it. Let me just talk to him.
- 10:23Speaker 5: Last night just they was here for the UH they
- 10:27Speaker 5: did a Legends event and they had about thirty five
- 10:30Speaker 5: former players here and Darren Woodson was was named the
- 10:33Speaker 5: Tom Landry Award and so that was out of practice.
- 10:36Speaker 5: And I actually talked to Creighton and I told him,
- 10:39Speaker 5: I'll just tell you the story I told him. I mean,
- 10:42Speaker 5: I said, you know, every single time that there's a
- 10:46Speaker 5: punt and it's and the guy returns it, what ten
- 10:50Speaker 5: yards or whatever, and then there's a penalty, and then
- 10:52Speaker 5: they make him rekick. Every time that happens. I think
- 10:55Speaker 5: of Patrick Creyton, and I think of a game in
- 10:57Speaker 5: nine against Denver at Mile High where they made him
- 11:01Speaker 5: rekick it again, and you know, you kick it again
- 11:05Speaker 5: after the you know, they'd all the punt team runs
- 11:07Speaker 5: down trying to block, so let's do it again. See
- 11:10Speaker 5: how tired they are. And Creighton returned it. I think
- 11:13Speaker 5: it was like ninety nine yards for a touchdown. But
- 11:16Speaker 5: they say that his foot was on the line when
- 11:19Speaker 5: he got the ball or something, so he ended up
- 11:21Speaker 5: being a touchback. But I always think about that, you know,
- 11:25Speaker 5: because it's like make and rekick it because they were
- 11:28Speaker 5: tired running down the first time, They're going to be
- 11:30Speaker 5: exhausted the second time. You might bust a big return.
- 11:32Speaker 5: And he did just happen to get called back. But yeah,
- 11:35Speaker 5: we talked a little bit and Patrick. You know, I
- 11:38Speaker 5: think Creighton would be great for shows like this, you know,
- 11:41Speaker 5: I think he always tells it like it is. He'd
- 11:43Speaker 5: be pretty good for that. So yeah, always good to
- 11:46Speaker 5: catch up with Patrick Crayton. Let's go to Lester in Minnesota. Good, hey, Lester,
- 11:54Speaker 5: how are you doing?
- 11:56Speaker 11: Hey, man, I look up Wilkins. Yeah, you don't need
- 12:00Speaker 11: that guy. That guy I got some little little troubles there. Yeah,
- 12:05Speaker 11: I mean, so that was a good call.
- 12:09Speaker 6: Man.
- 12:10Speaker 5: Just to clarify last week, Lester was like, what about
- 12:13Speaker 5: Christian Wilkins. He's a differensive tackle of Raiders and Dolphins
- 12:16Speaker 5: and all that. I was like, just google and see
- 12:18Speaker 5: what you find on some off the field issues and
- 12:21Speaker 5: what what his teammates might think about him and what
- 12:24Speaker 5: kind of fit he might be in the locker room.
- 12:26Speaker 1: So I don't know what you found, but yeah, okay, yeah, sometimes.
- 12:32Speaker 5: You know, and sometimes and I've always been one that's like, hey,
- 12:35Speaker 5: if you can play, you can play.
- 12:37Speaker 1: We'll deal with the other stuff.
- 12:39Speaker 5: But there are some some issues there, and you know,
- 12:43Speaker 5: you can't be a problem to the to the team
- 12:45Speaker 5: in the locker room, and this seems like it could be.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that guy.
- 12:52Speaker 1: All right, But.
- 12:54Speaker 3: A couple of things.
- 12:55Speaker 12: I just wanted to say, here, what sorry, how many?
- 13:02Speaker 12: How many offensive lines you think we're going to keep
- 13:06Speaker 12: this year? Man, because I'm chalting eight or eight to ten,
- 13:11Speaker 12: But I just want to know hear what you have.
- 13:14Speaker 5: To say, probably right in between. I mean, I don't
- 13:18Speaker 5: I don't think they'll have eight. Well, let's just look
- 13:22Speaker 5: at it real quick. I mean, let's go with goal
- 13:24Speaker 5: with Guidon and Tyler Smith and bb And and Booker
- 13:31Speaker 5: and Terrence Steel. Then that's your five. Now your BACKUPSA Hoffman,
- 13:39Speaker 5: I mean, bast and Hoffman are three players in two.
- 13:42Speaker 5: I mean that's the thing that they are. They are
- 13:44Speaker 5: because they can both play guard and both play center.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Now you can argue that.
- 13:50Speaker 5: You could only need one of those guys, and that
- 13:52Speaker 5: might that might end up happening, but I think for
- 13:55Speaker 5: right now they both seem to be safe.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Use your backup swing tackle awesome.
- 14:05Speaker 5: Awesome, er identity awesome has not been that, but but
- 14:11Speaker 5: still there's there's some there's still some upside there.
- 14:15Speaker 13: You know.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Look for a guy like Cornelius, how has.
- 14:19Speaker 3: The identity look? Man? Because I've been studying him since
- 14:22Speaker 3: he was in Cincinnati, he wasn't that good in Cincinnati.
- 14:26Speaker 3: I hate to tell you that, but it really was.
- 14:28Speaker 1: And they didn't have a great line.
- 14:29Speaker 5: And even though they made the super Bowl, they made
- 14:31Speaker 5: the super Bowl with an offensive line that wasn't that great.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Yeah, and he started the line that year was bottom
- 14:37Speaker 3: three or bottom five, I should say not bottom three.
- 14:40Speaker 3: This bottom five was four offensive lines that was worse
- 14:43Speaker 3: than that one at that particular year. I was that's
- 14:46Speaker 3: a bural thing. But anyway, I don't want to talk about.
- 14:48Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think nine nine linemen seem to
- 14:52Speaker 5: be you know, it seemed to make sense. I could
- 14:56Speaker 5: see a veteran, you know, look, look for a veteran
- 14:59Speaker 5: that that's it's on the practice squad that they can
- 15:01Speaker 5: call up. You know that that might be where a
- 15:04Speaker 5: Dentergy and a guy like Sadiq Charles could be if
- 15:07Speaker 5: they don't get claimed by someone else. Sit them on
- 15:10Speaker 5: your practice squad, have a make them a game day
- 15:12Speaker 5: elevation if you need, if need be so. I could
- 15:16Speaker 5: see them doing that before they would cut. Like, let's
- 15:19Speaker 5: say they like Johnny Cornelius. You know, they don't feel
- 15:22Speaker 5: like they could get him through because he's you know,
- 15:24Speaker 5: young lineman. Get picked up all the time, so I
- 15:27Speaker 5: could see a scenario where he might make the team.
- 15:30Speaker 5: The veterans actually go to the practice squad and they
- 15:34Speaker 5: use them on game day and keep the rookie inactive.
- 15:37Speaker 5: That happened at linebacker last year all season with Nick
- 15:39Speaker 5: Vigil keeping Buddy Johnson on the team. So anyways, there's
- 15:43Speaker 5: a lot of different ways to work it. I would
- 15:45Speaker 5: say if I had to guess about nine linemen.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Though, okay, and then I got two other comments.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Make him quick, what are we really.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Doing with this backup quarterback? I mean, I know we
- 15:58Speaker 3: could throw the ball, but I mean we need to
- 16:00Speaker 3: get grier some time, I believe. And I know that
- 16:04Speaker 3: it's two weeks before the season starts, but we need
- 16:07Speaker 3: to give him a little thumb, man, I mean a
- 16:10Speaker 3: little thumb.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 16:12Speaker 3: And the other comment I wanted to make was I
- 16:15Speaker 3: was listening to the broadcast Monday Night Football and Troy
- 16:19Speaker 3: Akrons seemed like he he said, he's got the positive
- 16:22Speaker 3: things to say about the Cowboys season this year. So
- 16:25Speaker 3: I'm encouraged about that, man.
- 16:28Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's just all depends on how you
- 16:29Speaker 5: look at it. Thanks, thanks Lester for the call. You know, yeah, Troy,
- 16:34Speaker 5: And and Troy's gonna be honest when we know that
- 16:37Speaker 5: we've seen in that long enough where you know he yes,
- 16:42Speaker 5: he knows where he played and and and you know
- 16:45Speaker 5: he's he's a Dallas cowboy and he's a you know,
- 16:47Speaker 5: Hall of Famer, Ring of honor all that. But he's
- 16:49Speaker 5: he has a job to do and he's he's honest
- 16:51Speaker 5: about it. And and that's that's what he feels. I mean,
- 16:55Speaker 5: that's that's that's how he that's how he feels. I mean,
- 16:58Speaker 5: this team is is top heavy. So you know, when
- 17:01Speaker 5: you think of it from a standpoint of that, maybe
- 17:04Speaker 5: they got to stay healthy obviously, But when you're like
- 17:07Speaker 5: they've got whatever, top ten quarterback, whatever you want to say, there,
- 17:11Speaker 5: they got a quarterback who who's a veteran, he's seen
- 17:15Speaker 5: it a lot, he's won playoff games, he's been there.
- 17:18Speaker 5: He can win games for you, and and you know,
- 17:21Speaker 5: that's is what it is. It doesn't matter about the ranking.
- 17:24Speaker 5: He's good enough to win you football games. And he's
- 17:26Speaker 5: proven that. So you've got that, and and you know,
- 17:29Speaker 5: I think he's he's a top ten quarterback at this
- 17:31Speaker 5: stage in his career.
- 17:32Speaker 1: That's what I believe.
- 17:33Speaker 5: But and then you got you know, you've got a
- 17:36Speaker 5: top five receiver, You've give you've got a top five
- 17:39Speaker 5: receiver duo in my opinion, You've got a top ten
- 17:44Speaker 5: tight end. You've got one of the best guards in
- 17:47Speaker 5: the NFL and Tyler Smith. I mean still have a
- 17:49Speaker 5: young line but but you know, and then you've got
- 17:51Speaker 5: in my opinion, a top two or three defensive player
- 17:54Speaker 5: overall in Micah Parsons when he's out there, and I
- 17:57Speaker 5: think he will be. So you've got pieces and if
- 17:59Speaker 5: you think of it that way and keep him healthy.
- 18:01Speaker 5: Can they can they wreck games?
- 18:03Speaker 1: For you? Can Sidi take over a game?
- 18:05Speaker 3: Yes?
- 18:06Speaker 5: He has can Can they Can they run the football?
- 18:09Speaker 5: That's gonna be a question, But I mean, can Micah
- 18:11Speaker 5: Parsons wreck a game?
- 18:13Speaker 1: Yes?
- 18:14Speaker 5: So when you have guys on both sides of the
- 18:16Speaker 5: ball that can go win a football game, and you've
- 18:18Speaker 5: got arguably the best kicker in the league and the
- 18:22Speaker 5: best punt returner kick returner as well, I'm just talking
- 18:25Speaker 5: about factors of your team that that would make you
- 18:28Speaker 5: be positive. Now, there's some negatives. We can go all
- 18:30Speaker 5: day long, back and forth. I'm just saying, if you
- 18:32Speaker 5: want to look at it from that standpoint, Do you
- 18:34Speaker 5: have pieces they can win and dominate the kicking game?
- 18:38Speaker 5: They can, They can dominate things on defense if Micah
- 18:41Speaker 5: Parsons is playing like we know he can. And on
- 18:43Speaker 5: offense they can go and put up a lot of points.
- 18:46Speaker 5: We'll see with Schottenheimer calling the plays if that happens.
- 18:49Speaker 5: But that's kind of what you'd like to believe. So
- 18:50Speaker 5: you add all that up. Can they go win games?
- 18:52Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:53Speaker 5: That they should be able to schedule is gonna be tough.
- 18:55Speaker 5: It looks tough, but we'll see. All right, let's go
- 18:58Speaker 5: to Steven New York.
- 19:01Speaker 8: Hey, what's up?
- 19:02Speaker 1: Net Hey, how are you doing?
- 19:04Speaker 3: All right?
- 19:04Speaker 8: Pal, I'll just get this out of the way quick.
- 19:07Speaker 8: The Netflix special it was phenomenal. Yeah, And as far
- 19:11Speaker 8: as I'm going to talk football, because as far as
- 19:13Speaker 8: the Mike A thing, as someone who's been a fan
- 19:16Speaker 8: almost fifty years of this team, if there wasn't a
- 19:20Speaker 8: distraction or something, it would be Dallas. No, it'd be Yeah,
- 19:24Speaker 8: it's always something. It's going to be something, and it's
- 19:27Speaker 8: going to get done. And you know, I'm not even
- 19:29Speaker 8: concerned about that at this point. My football question for
- 19:33Speaker 8: you before I hit you with my trivia. I'm trying
- 19:36Speaker 8: to Yeah, you look ahead at the Philly game, and
- 19:39Speaker 8: you know, you try to figure what we can do.
- 19:42Speaker 8: But I have no clue. And I just want your
- 19:44Speaker 8: take on this. If there's like a running back who's
- 19:47Speaker 8: going to get fifteen plus carrier, would you even have
- 19:50Speaker 8: a guess who it would be? Like, I don't know
- 19:52Speaker 8: what they're doing with the running back position going into
- 19:55Speaker 8: this game.
- 19:56Speaker 5: Going into this game, I think they're going to try
- 19:58Speaker 5: to evaluate Jayden Blue and maybe some more of MafA.
- 20:01Speaker 5: But I think going into the season, I would think
- 20:03Speaker 5: Javonte Williams looks like he's going to be the starter.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Wow.
- 20:07Speaker 8: And how many carriages has he had in the preseason
- 20:11Speaker 8: then zero? That's interesting, right, I mean it's wow.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:16Speaker 5: But I but I honestly, if he would have had
- 20:19Speaker 5: one last week, I mean, he had four carries last week.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Is he ready for the season now? I mean, now,
- 20:27Speaker 5: is he ready?
- 20:28Speaker 14: Is?
- 20:28Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 20:29Speaker 5: I have a hard time thinking that, and and I
- 20:31Speaker 5: guess I'm just I'm just so like risk reward on everything?
- 20:35Speaker 5: Does it really make sense?
- 20:37Speaker 1: You know?
- 20:38Speaker 5: I mean maybe that's why Bungee jumped. I don't know,
- 20:43Speaker 5: it might be awesome, but if it's not awesome, then
- 20:46Speaker 5: I'm not going to be able to talk about it.
- 20:48Speaker 1: So you know what I mean, I just look at
- 20:49Speaker 1: risk reward and I'm like, I don't know about that.
- 20:51Speaker 1: I don't know about playing him.
- 20:52Speaker 8: So yeah, and I know we myself included, when we
- 20:55Speaker 8: hear the words by committee, we all get, you know, yeah,
- 21:00Speaker 8: we go and and it's true because like I don't know,
- 21:02Speaker 8: maybe I'm old school. I like to have that one guy. Yeah,
- 21:06Speaker 8: mix it up, you know, you'll throw in somebody else.
- 21:09Speaker 8: But I don't know that. The buy committee thing always
- 21:11Speaker 8: uh always concerned me a little bit.
- 21:13Speaker 1: I get it.
- 21:14Speaker 5: I mean, it's just it just means that you don't
- 21:16Speaker 5: have a guy that's that's good enough, that do everything.
- 21:20Speaker 1: And and that's the thing.
- 21:21Speaker 5: When you have the guys that that are that aren't
- 21:24Speaker 5: you know, when you don't have buy committee, that means
- 21:26Speaker 5: you've got this one guy that means he's better at everything.
- 21:29Speaker 5: He's gonna be your your your guy to get third
- 21:31Speaker 5: and one. He's going to be your home run hitter.
- 21:33Speaker 5: He's going to be the guy on that can pick
- 21:36Speaker 5: up the blitz and catch the ball of the backfield,
- 21:38Speaker 5: and I don't know if the Cowboys have that guy
- 21:40Speaker 5: that's checks all the boxes. And they've only really had
- 21:43Speaker 5: about four or five ever in the history of the
- 21:45Speaker 5: franchise that are like that. So it's kind of rare,
- 21:48Speaker 5: I think, but we'll see.
- 21:51Speaker 3: It is rare.
- 21:51Speaker 8: It is rare. But they were there for a while.
- 21:54Speaker 8: I mean, if you go back to you know, back
- 21:56Speaker 8: in the day, whether you know, and then leading to
- 21:59Speaker 8: Emitt and Zeke, you know you had that one, you know,
- 22:03Speaker 8: that one guy. I mean, listen, I don't know. Maybe
- 22:05Speaker 8: they'll prove me wrong. I hope they proved me wrong,
- 22:07Speaker 8: you know. Yeah, and if the line plays well, maybe
- 22:10Speaker 8: it won't matter. But hey, okay, so the trivia one
- 22:16Speaker 8: of the probably one of the worst season openers ever.
- 22:19Speaker 8: I'm sure you remember it the Texans first game two
- 22:23Speaker 8: thousand and two. Brutal Cowboys only scored one touchdown in
- 22:28Speaker 8: that game, and it was a forty six yard run
- 22:31Speaker 8: and it was this guy's only touchdown of the year
- 22:34Speaker 8: and was also the Cowboys longest rush of the year.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Michael Wiley, Wow, you got it.
- 22:40Speaker 8: I get you one day, Nick, I get you.
- 22:42Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that? Was that a run or a catch.
- 22:47Speaker 5: It was a weird play, wasn't it. It was some
- 22:49Speaker 5: kind of I don't even remember. You're saying it was
- 22:53Speaker 5: a run, right.
- 22:54Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure it was. Let's say, yeah, I'm pretty
- 22:56Speaker 8: sure it was. It was a weird play though.
- 23:00Speaker 1: It was like a deflection.
- 23:01Speaker 5: That ball went up in the air and I thought
- 23:04Speaker 5: maybe it was a catch because it maybe they called
- 23:06Speaker 5: it a fumble, one of those.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I think Quincy got hit and the ball went in
- 23:09Speaker 1: the air. Was it a pass? Was it fumble? Did
- 23:10Speaker 1: it not?
- 23:11Speaker 5: It didn't matter because he caught it and ran it
- 23:13Speaker 5: in for a touchdown. What a terrible game though?
- 23:15Speaker 1: It was terrible. Oh, terrible game. Yeah, all right, buddy,
- 23:20Speaker 1: thanks a lot, See you later.
- 23:21Speaker 5: All right, let's go to break here on Cowboys storyline,

- 25:31Speaker 3: Good?
- 25:31Speaker 5: To see the other night at practice, I know you
- 25:33Speaker 5: were there sporting the Cowboys storyline shirt and a big,
- 25:36Speaker 5: big chain.
- 25:39Speaker 13: Yes, sir, Yes, sir. My sister actually asked. He's like,
- 25:41Speaker 13: is that the only Cowboy shirt you have? I was like, no,
- 25:43Speaker 13: it's just my favorite one of them on when you
- 25:46Speaker 13: need Yeah. Yeah, but real quick, before I before I start,
- 25:48Speaker 13: I want to shout out to Mike and Birmingham and
- 25:50Speaker 13: let them know so I didn't forget this time. At
- 25:53Speaker 13: ease everybody. I used to say that reminded me about that,
- 25:55Speaker 13: but yeah, but yeah, I want to own. I want
- 25:57Speaker 13: to I got a couple things, man, so I'll try
- 25:58Speaker 13: to be quick.
- 25:59Speaker 16: One.
- 26:00Speaker 13: Like other people have stated, I'd like to see Will
- 26:02Speaker 13: Greer play a little bit more of this game. I
- 26:04Speaker 13: know I mentioned it after week one that it's really
- 26:06Speaker 13: hard to evaluate these wide receivers when you have inconsistent
- 26:09Speaker 13: quarterback play.
- 26:10Speaker 7: You know what I mean.
- 26:10Speaker 13: It's it's unfortunate that they've been dealing with it, especially now,
- 26:14Speaker 13: you know, with Mingo unfortunately going down. There's a spot open, now,
- 26:18Speaker 13: you know what I mean. And you know Fillinoia, Brooks
- 26:20Speaker 13: and Holden and Kelly, you know, even though he may
- 26:23Speaker 13: be on the on the you know the outskirts of that,
- 26:26Speaker 13: but you know there's some playmakers there. And I have
- 26:28Speaker 13: two questions that are kind of eye test questions for you, brother,
- 26:31Speaker 13: because I've been to a couple of training camps this year.
- 26:33Speaker 13: You know, thank God and thank you obviously for helping
- 26:36Speaker 13: us out. But my iss is telling me one thing.
- 26:39Speaker 13: I want to see what yours of what yours tells
- 26:41Speaker 13: you Tobert Man, And I mean this super respectfully, but
- 26:44Speaker 13: he's kind of like boring, you know, like he'll catch,
- 26:49Speaker 13: you know, a hitch or something like that and he'll
- 26:51Speaker 13: shake his shoulders, but he gets tackled. And you know,
- 26:53Speaker 13: I haven't seen him really make a lot of plays downfield,
- 26:55Speaker 13: like Brooks has this training camp. I haven't seen him
- 26:58Speaker 13: make any spectacular catch is like Holden has this, uh
- 27:01Speaker 13: you know, this training camp. So I was just wondering, like,
- 27:04Speaker 13: is is it just my mind playing tricks on me?
- 27:07Speaker 13: Or could Tober be interchangeable?
- 27:09Speaker 17: You know what I mean?
- 27:09Speaker 13: And if that's and if that's so, who who could
- 27:13Speaker 13: you see?
- 27:13Speaker 7: Actually? Like, who who do you favor?
- 27:15Speaker 13: I don't know if you're allowed to save or if
- 27:16Speaker 13: you want to because I know you walked past these
- 27:18Speaker 13: guys in the halls and stuff. But who would you
- 27:20Speaker 13: favor if you could? And then my last eye test
- 27:22Speaker 13: question is I've been thinking a lot about hundred lippy
- 27:25Speaker 13: And I know he's like six to one or maybe
- 27:28Speaker 13: you know or whatever, But I actually I watched him
- 27:31Speaker 13: down there with with Linda Wells and the tight ends,
- 27:33Speaker 13: and I mean I think he's pretty solid. I mean
- 27:35Speaker 13: I feel like if he wasn't a fullback, he would
- 27:37Speaker 13: be a pretty good tight end, you know, what I mean,
- 27:39Speaker 13: and I feel like that could help when it comes
- 27:41Speaker 13: to roster manipulation, and I was wondering your thoughts on that.
- 27:44Speaker 13: My last one is just I really hope that MafA
- 27:46Speaker 13: gets an opportunity to run the ball a lot this
- 27:48Speaker 13: this uh, this game. I don't know what they were
- 27:50Speaker 13: doing last game. It didn't make a lot of sense
- 27:52Speaker 13: to me. I think it's time for them to drop
- 27:54Speaker 13: the deuce, you know what I mean, and just give
- 27:56Speaker 13: my MafA some more carry So I just want to
- 27:58Speaker 13: get your thoughts on that. Brother, I appreciate it. Start
- 28:00Speaker 13: out a little long winded then and has brothers.
- 28:02Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I got that one, good one.
- 28:06Speaker 5: You know, this is that time of year. Also, remember
- 28:09Speaker 5: about you know, Phil MafA and other players like that,
- 28:12Speaker 5: where they they think they know what they've got in them.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Does he need to go out and rush for you know,
- 28:21Speaker 5: one hundred yards in the game or whatever, depending on
- 28:24Speaker 5: what they might do with them. You know, maybe they
- 28:27Speaker 5: are trying to get him on the practice squad, so
- 28:29Speaker 5: they don't necessarily need him to go out and have
- 28:31Speaker 5: this huge game. But it depends on you know, where
- 28:35Speaker 5: they stand with him. You know, maybe they still want
- 28:38Speaker 5: to see him more So, it all depends on if
- 28:42Speaker 5: they've made their decisions on certain players. And that's the
- 28:46Speaker 5: first thing you mentioned, was Greer. And you know, I
- 28:50Speaker 5: can't sit here and tell you what they're thinking as
- 28:52Speaker 5: far as is, let's say they want to see more
- 28:56Speaker 5: of Milton. Obviously, that's why he's starting. If it doesn't
- 28:59Speaker 5: go any better than what we've seen, then what is it?
- 29:03Speaker 5: Just Okay Greer, because if that's the case, I'd like
- 29:07Speaker 5: to get I'd like to see him get a little
- 29:09Speaker 5: bit more snaps. But it almost seems like if it's
- 29:13Speaker 5: not gonna be Milton, then it's gonna be someone else
- 29:15Speaker 5: that they're gonna have to bring in anyways. So I'm
- 29:17Speaker 5: not I'm not I'm not sure. I'm just I just
- 29:20Speaker 5: don't know. I'm not sure what they're what they're thinking.
- 29:23Speaker 5: It all comes down to kind of how close they
- 29:26Speaker 5: think Milton is to being, you know, a guy that
- 29:28Speaker 5: could be the starting quarterback. I mean, I'm gonna sary
- 29:31Speaker 5: the backup quarter not the starting quarterback, but the backup quarterback.
- 29:33Speaker 1: And what I'm.
- 29:34Speaker 5: Thinking is is it just like last year, you know,
- 29:36Speaker 5: when when you saw you know, they gave all the
- 29:39Speaker 5: reps to Trey Lance, and then by the end of
- 29:41Speaker 5: the three games, they're like, all right, you're the third quarterback.
- 29:44Speaker 5: You're not better than the guy that we have that's
- 29:46Speaker 5: won games. The difference is is that Cooper Rush is
- 29:49Speaker 5: so much further along than what Will Greer's so much,
- 29:52Speaker 5: so much more accomplished than Will Greer that it makes
- 29:56Speaker 5: me think that if it's not Milton, then they may
- 29:59Speaker 5: have another another guy in mine here. But they're I mean,
- 30:02Speaker 5: stay tuned obviously to that. As for Tolbert, you know
- 30:07Speaker 5: he's not flashy, You're right, but he's been pretty effective
- 30:12Speaker 5: in the role that he has.
- 30:13Speaker 1: And I and and.
- 30:14Speaker 5: I'd be surprised if they let go of him, and
- 30:17Speaker 5: maybe they they would try to trade him, but you know,
- 30:20Speaker 5: your depth is he may not be as exciting for
- 30:24Speaker 5: you for the fourth guy or whatever. But I think
- 30:27Speaker 5: if he had to play, if with an injury to
- 30:29Speaker 5: another guy, if he even had to start and be
- 30:31Speaker 5: the backup, be the number two, I think he'd be
- 30:34Speaker 5: fine with that because of how much he's played. So
- 30:37Speaker 5: you know, you've got a lot of depth at receiver.
- 30:41Speaker 5: It would have to be a reason for me to
- 30:42Speaker 5: to not have the depth, uh, and to trade it
- 30:45Speaker 5: away for for something else, or to to cut ties
- 30:48Speaker 5: with him, because I do think he is a big
- 30:51Speaker 5: you know, he's a he's a difference than than your
- 30:53Speaker 5: next tier of the Flinoy's Jalen Brooks and and some
- 30:57Speaker 5: of the rookies. Who else did you talk about Lipkey Lipkeys?
- 31:02Speaker 5: I think Lipkey's safe. I don't know if I mentioned
- 31:04Speaker 5: that when Brian from Kansas City talked about him earlier,
- 31:07Speaker 5: but I think his versatility is so good. He gives
- 31:10Speaker 5: you a little bit of everything if you if you
- 31:12Speaker 5: have injuries at tight end, and we see this, this
- 31:14Speaker 5: team has the injuries at tight end. They're hurt right now.
- 31:17Speaker 5: I mean he can finish a game for you at
- 31:19Speaker 5: tight end. He could he could even be your third
- 31:21Speaker 5: tight end to you know going in. He could run
- 31:23Speaker 5: the football for you. He can play special teams, and
- 31:26Speaker 5: he can be a full back. There's not many guys
- 31:29Speaker 5: that can do those those things and that's what makes
- 31:32Speaker 5: him so valuable. And yeah, I don't think he's going
- 31:35Speaker 5: to play this week, and I think because he's going
- 31:37Speaker 5: to make the team. All right, Rick and Massachusetts is next.
- 31:44Speaker 1: How you doing, I'm good?
- 31:47Speaker 18: Kind of like September Weather up here right now for
- 31:49Speaker 18: a little bit.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Is that good?
- 31:52Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 31:53Speaker 18: Kind of cool.
- 31:53Speaker 11: It's cooler, all right, all right?
- 31:56Speaker 18: And my question for you is it bas think we
- 32:00Speaker 18: know the thing is. But today someone gets released, maybe
- 32:05Speaker 18: the Sanders or whatever, or and then he gets put
- 32:09Speaker 18: on the practice squad, goes from waivers, put on the
- 32:11Speaker 18: squatch squad. Then he gets called up three times. I know,
- 32:15Speaker 18: after he gets called up three times, he has one
- 32:17Speaker 18: on the team or be cut. Say he gets cut
- 32:21Speaker 18: and then he goes through waivers again and nobody picks
- 32:24Speaker 18: him up. We can bring him back to the team,
- 32:26Speaker 18: put him on the practice squads? Can we call him
- 32:28Speaker 18: back up three times?
- 32:30Speaker 1: I believe No, No, you cannot do that.
- 32:34Speaker 5: It only starts over when you get to the when
- 32:38Speaker 5: you get to the playoffs, that's where it resets. But
- 32:41Speaker 5: let me clarify one thing that you said, and maybe
- 32:44Speaker 5: I didn't hear you correctly. Let's say Miles Sanders, they
- 32:47Speaker 5: move him up three weeks in a row and then
- 32:50Speaker 5: move him back down. They don't have to cut him
- 32:52Speaker 5: or put him on the rougher. He could stay on
- 32:54Speaker 5: the practice squad. He's just out of elevations. It doesn't
- 32:56Speaker 5: mean he has to go anywhere. He can stay on
- 32:59Speaker 5: the practice squad, but to get him to the game
- 33:02Speaker 5: another time, then you are going to have to clear
- 33:04Speaker 5: roster spot and he has to play. And I believe
- 33:07Speaker 5: if he plays, I believe. I believe that the rule
- 33:11Speaker 5: used to be three weeks. You have to be on
- 33:13Speaker 5: the team for three weeks. But I think that's if
- 33:14Speaker 5: you poach a player from another team. If you do that,
- 33:17Speaker 5: he has to be on your team for three weeks.
- 33:19Speaker 5: But but no, he doesn't have to go anywhere.
- 33:22Speaker 1: He just You're just gonna be out of elevations for him.
- 33:25Speaker 5: But okay, but you know, that's that's something that they could,
- 33:29Speaker 5: you know, definitely consider and and say, you know, because
- 33:32Speaker 5: the practice squad, the practice squad changes a lot of
- 33:35Speaker 5: things where you like, maybe you don't have to go long.
- 33:38Speaker 5: Maybe maybe the only guys on your team that make
- 33:42Speaker 5: it at running back are Javonte Williams and Jayden Blue
- 33:46Speaker 5: and then everyone else and Hunter Lipke, But then everyone
- 33:50Speaker 5: else is on the practice squad. Now you got Sanders
- 33:53Speaker 5: for three, you got MafA for three. I mean, I'm
- 33:56Speaker 5: not sure MafA could make it there. Maybe Sanders doesn't
- 33:59Speaker 5: make it there, you know, I mean he was a
- 34:00Speaker 5: free agent. But there's just there's so many different ways
- 34:03Speaker 5: to play it. But you know, Malik Davis, I think
- 34:06Speaker 5: is a guy that could be on your practice squad
- 34:08Speaker 5: that you know you could call up if you needed him.
- 34:12Speaker 18: Yeah, that's correct too, they're saying, but Wisten say to me,
- 34:19Speaker 18: all right, we're probably gonna go over Well for stuff later.
- 34:23Speaker 18: But to me, it's like I prefer probably Thomas and
- 34:34Speaker 18: maybe over Richards or Sambourne, you know, being on the team,
- 34:40Speaker 18: or be Children's over Booth. But yeah, my position, but
- 34:47Speaker 18: we'll see.
- 34:48Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I mean the booth. Thanks for the call, Rick,
- 34:53Speaker 5: And that's twice now in two shows this week that
- 34:56Speaker 5: I've forgotten Nate Thomas. Not really sure why, because I
- 35:01Speaker 5: knew when I was writing down, I had the line
- 35:03Speaker 5: right now. I knew that there's a there's a gap here.
- 35:05Speaker 5: I'm like, somebody's missing, and it's Nate. I just went
- 35:08Speaker 5: straight to Gydon at left tackle, and then I kind
- 35:10Speaker 5: of forgot Nate Thomas as the back.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna he's gonna make it.
- 35:14Speaker 5: I mean the question is gonna be is is do
- 35:16Speaker 5: they want to put Nate Thomas out there? Against the
- 35:18Speaker 5: Eagles if Guidon hasn't practiced enough, So it just depends
- 35:21Speaker 5: on when he comes back to practice. But either way,
- 35:25Speaker 5: you're gonna hold your breath. I mean, because the Eagles,
- 35:27Speaker 5: you know, they're gonna bring it on defensive line and
- 35:29Speaker 5: they're they're they're gonna be really dynamic and get after
- 35:33Speaker 5: you know, Dak and and and do it in ways
- 35:35Speaker 5: with that you just haven't seen that they probably haven't
- 35:39Speaker 5: seen before.
- 35:39Speaker 1: So you got to be ready for everything. And so
- 35:42Speaker 1: if it's just.
- 35:43Speaker 5: Because Guiden's been out there doesn't mean it's not gonna
- 35:45Speaker 5: be you know, a struggle for him, and the same
- 35:47Speaker 5: with Nate, with Nate Thomas.
- 35:48Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Greg and Sacramento.
- 35:52Speaker 17: Hey, Nick, how are you doing it?
- 35:54Speaker 3: Man?
- 35:54Speaker 1: I'm great, man, how are you?
- 35:56Speaker 17: I'm doing good? Doing good? It's been it's been really
- 36:00Speaker 17: really has everybody been saying hard to get in?
- 36:02Speaker 8: Uh?
- 36:03Speaker 17: But you know what, I I just wanted it. I
- 36:05Speaker 17: haven't talked in a while, so I just wanted to
- 36:07Speaker 17: give a quick shout out to all you guys and
- 36:09Speaker 17: the storyliners. When you guys did that show, it was
- 36:12Speaker 17: pretty awesome the way it all came together, you know,
- 36:14Speaker 17: it's cool that they all got to go over there.
- 36:16Speaker 17: I wish I could have made it on that day,
- 36:19Speaker 17: but I couldn't make it that day. I ended up
- 36:20Speaker 17: going on August seventh, and I was looking for you
- 36:24Speaker 17: so hard, like I was asking. I saw Patrick Walker
- 36:26Speaker 17: out there and told him kind of the older heads
- 36:33Speaker 17: out there, Mickey and and and uh Clarence and all
- 36:37Speaker 17: of them from from so uh you know. Anyway, I
- 36:41Speaker 17: saw them off the sideland, but I was looking for
- 36:42Speaker 17: you on the sidelines and I didn't see that day,
- 36:45Speaker 17: so unfortunately I missed you. But I just updated Chris
- 36:50Speaker 17: was our p updated me was the correct you know,
- 36:53Speaker 17: I was putting in the wrong thing. I was them
- 36:54Speaker 17: dot com instead of dot net. So I haven't been
- 36:57Speaker 17: able to get a hold of you met either. But anyway, sorry,
- 37:00Speaker 17: I don't mean to ramble that. I do have three
- 37:04Speaker 17: questions if I can get to him, really, okay, okay, yeah,
- 37:08Speaker 17: My first one, it's funny. I my phone has a
- 37:11Speaker 17: tick around how many times I called in, and it
- 37:12Speaker 17: was it was eighty eight times. I thought was funny
- 37:15Speaker 17: because my question, my first question is about Ceedee Lamb.
- 37:18Speaker 17: What do you think the times or are not time split.
- 37:21Speaker 17: I guess they had to catch or target split is
- 37:24Speaker 17: what I mean. Between him and Pickens. What do you
- 37:26Speaker 17: think that's gonna be. Do you think it's gonna lean
- 37:28Speaker 17: more heavy towards CD or is it gonna depend on
- 37:31Speaker 17: what other defenses are given out there? That's question number one.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Uh.
- 37:35Speaker 17: Question number two was when I went out to Oxide,
- 37:39Speaker 17: Joe Milton looked really good, like when he was thrown
- 37:41Speaker 17: to CD and Pickens. Anyway, I saw him throw like
- 37:44Speaker 17: a couple of crossing routes of them that looked really good,
- 37:46Speaker 17: and they weren't really long balls that I saw, So
- 37:49Speaker 17: I'm wondering why he doesn't do that more in the game.
- 37:52Speaker 17: And then my first question is about Micah. Just when
- 37:57Speaker 17: players like Micah, when they move around on the line
- 38:00Speaker 17: and stuff, you know, players that can kind of play
- 38:02Speaker 17: multiple spots, are they the ones? Are the players the
- 38:05Speaker 17: ones that choose or are guest specifically Micah? Is he
- 38:08Speaker 17: the one that chooses whether he's going to line up
- 38:11Speaker 17: or is that a coaching decision or how is that determined?
- 38:15Speaker 5: Okay, thanks thanks for the call, Greg, appreciate it. Mike, Yeah, sorry, sorry,
- 38:20Speaker 5: we got to keep it growing. Micah, I don't think
- 38:23Speaker 5: chooses all that. But you know, those are things that
- 38:27Speaker 5: you can do, you know, and if you're in practice,
- 38:29Speaker 5: if you're if you're in practice and you can, you know,
- 38:32Speaker 5: kind of show this staff all the different things. And
- 38:34Speaker 5: it's not just I say this a million times. It's
- 38:36Speaker 5: not just what Micah can do. It's what happens when
- 38:39Speaker 5: Micah says I want to line up over here. Are
- 38:41Speaker 5: the guys able to shift and move and and comfortable
- 38:45Speaker 5: in that route as well? So that's why, you know,
- 38:49Speaker 5: I think you can be a lot more dynamic if
- 38:51Speaker 5: he starts to return to practice. But that's the thing, Milton.
- 38:55Speaker 5: You don't get hit in practice. You don't you don't
- 38:57Speaker 5: feel the rush as much, and so you are not
- 39:00Speaker 5: gonna take a shot. So you're it's gonna be easier
- 39:03Speaker 5: for you to do your thing there as opposed to
- 39:06Speaker 5: be in you know, obviously in the game, and it's
- 39:08Speaker 5: the bolter flying it's a little bit different target wise
- 39:11Speaker 5: with CD and and and pickings. You know, I would
- 39:14Speaker 5: I would think it's got to at least be two
- 39:17Speaker 5: to one, maybe you know, three to one, But that's
- 39:21Speaker 5: on the defense too, you know, it's kind of that
- 39:23Speaker 5: that's the pick you're poison. If they're gonna double team him,
- 39:25Speaker 5: then then these other guys are gonna make plays and
- 39:28Speaker 5: that should soften it up more for you know, the
- 39:31Speaker 5: the star receiver to to make you know, get the
- 39:34Speaker 5: ball and and and I think that the Cowboys got
- 39:37Speaker 5: to be creative and and and making sure that they
- 39:39Speaker 5: get the ball to CD regardless of coverage. But you know,
- 39:42Speaker 5: if if they're gonna double team him and and and
- 39:44Speaker 5: leave the tight end and leave the running game open
- 39:47Speaker 5: to you know, to run the ball more than the
- 39:49Speaker 5: Cowboys are probably gonna do that. It's gonna break one
- 39:51Speaker 5: more time on Cowboys storyline and be right back after this.

- 41:18Speaker 5: the of the show, so we got.
- 41:20Speaker 1: To go quick.
- 41:21Speaker 8: Here.
- 41:21Speaker 5: We have one more caller. This will be our last
- 41:23Speaker 5: caller and be eighth callers. Gary, New Mexico.
- 41:25Speaker 6: What's up, hey, Nick, Good to talk to you again.
- 41:28Speaker 6: You are a popular man.
- 41:30Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you.
- 41:32Speaker 6: Hey, just real quick, I don't even have a trivia
- 41:34Speaker 6: question for you this week, but just real quick. I'm
- 41:37Speaker 6: excited about the season. You made some great points. We've
- 41:40Speaker 6: got some good players. The kicking game is huge. If
- 41:42Speaker 6: we can be confident on both sides of the ball,
- 41:45Speaker 6: we can win a lot with our kicker and special teams.
- 41:48Speaker 6: But I I just want to say this. I want
- 41:50Speaker 6: to defend Jerry Jones because he's getting a lot of
- 41:53Speaker 6: flack over this Michael Parsons deal. And I get where
- 41:56Speaker 6: Jerry's coming from, this whole argument that Jerry's just in
- 42:00Speaker 6: it for money and marketing. I don't doubt that Jerry
- 42:03Speaker 6: Jones wants to win, and you're gonna make a lot
- 42:06Speaker 6: of money if you get them back to the super Bowl.
- 42:08Speaker 6: And I think he's frustrated. He's paying out all these
- 42:10Speaker 6: big contracts and he's not getting his return on investment
- 42:14Speaker 6: and it's frustrating him. And he's got to be careful
- 42:16Speaker 6: with this stuff. So I just asked the fans man,
- 42:19Speaker 6: give Jerry a break. I'm going to side with Jerry
- 42:22Speaker 6: on this Mica thing. And like the previous caller said,
- 42:25Speaker 6: there's always drama in Dallas and it will work out
- 42:28Speaker 6: and it'll all be all right.
- 42:31Speaker 3: But I'm a.
- 42:31Speaker 6: Glass half full guy, So let's get the season started. Man,
- 42:35Speaker 6: next time I call, I'll have a tribute question for you.
- 42:37Speaker 6: But I'm excited about the season. Let's see what happens.
- 42:40Speaker 5: Okay, all right, Gary, I'm excited too. Thank you for
- 42:43Speaker 5: the call and good points on that. I mean, no
- 42:45Speaker 5: one really knows, you know, what all Micah has initially
- 42:49Speaker 5: asked for and where things stood and how that conversation went.
- 42:53Speaker 5: And you're right, I mean, the Cowboys haven't had great
- 42:55Speaker 5: success with when after signing these these big deals, and
- 43:00Speaker 5: I'm some have panned out him been great, some haven't.
- 43:02Speaker 1: So uh.
- 43:03Speaker 5: They're obviously trying to make sure that they get you know,
- 43:06Speaker 5: the best interests of the entire team. All right, guys,
- 43:09Speaker 5: good stuff. I will say this, eight eight calls is
- 43:13Speaker 5: a little low than what we want. And I think
- 43:15Speaker 5: a lot of it has to do with you know,
- 43:17Speaker 5: I'm long winded too, but you know, let's let's keep
- 43:19Speaker 5: it moving a little bit. Well, maybe three points is
- 43:22Speaker 5: a little a little too much. I understand. Once you
- 43:25Speaker 5: guys get in after calling so many times, you got
- 43:27Speaker 5: get a lot of things to say and and I
- 43:29Speaker 5: get that. Let's try to share the ball a little
- 43:31Speaker 5: bit more so. Ten ten, to twelve would always be
- 43:35Speaker 5: a good cut off line for me. Remember, big deal
- 43:38Speaker 5: for me personally is getting this this documentary done on
- 43:43Speaker 5: Joe Avazono. It airs tonight, you'll see you can be
- 43:47Speaker 5: watching on the YouTube channels Capital YouTube channel. I think,
- 43:51Speaker 5: uh Thomas Blakey is the director of it, and I
- 43:55Speaker 5: worked very closely with him. He was awesome and doing
- 43:58Speaker 5: this and you know, I'm a I'm a a friend
- 44:00Speaker 5: of Tony Amazano, Joe's son, and uh, I think it's
- 44:04Speaker 5: gonna be real special for him.
- 44:05Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna love it.
- 44:07Speaker 5: They we did a it's hard to tell Joe's story
- 44:10Speaker 5: and and and in less than an hour, just because
- 44:12Speaker 5: he was he was everything. Uh, if you're a little
- 44:15Speaker 5: bit younger fan and don't know who he is, I
- 44:17Speaker 5: still think you'll enjoy it. I really do. I think
- 44:19Speaker 5: you'll enjoy if you just kind of listen to the
- 44:21Speaker 5: person that he was, uh just called simply coach Joe.
- 44:25Speaker 5: You can be able to watch that tonight. So I'm
- 44:27Speaker 5: really excited about that. If you if you do watch it,
- 44:29Speaker 5: you know, retweet it, YouTube it and don't mean to
- 44:31Speaker 5: sound like that guy, you know, subscribe and all that
- 44:34Speaker 5: but sure it would be nice to get some some
- 44:36Speaker 5: love for for Coach Show. All right, for Chris Beam,
- 44:39Speaker 5: I'm Nick Evan. Will see you next week on a
- 44:40Speaker 5: Cowboys storyline.
