  Speaker 1: razor of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: What's up. Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gellette. I'm
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Nick Eatman. It's August nineteenth. This is our final show
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: here in Oxnard, and we are mowing right along here
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: in the final few days of training camp. Been a
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: lot to talk about. We'll talk about what happened yesterday.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Saints here to practice, they were here to practice. And
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: also those some punches Cowboys threw some as well. They
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: weren't the Saints, weren't exactly the Saints. The Cowboys weren't
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Saints either about it. So it was some back and
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: forth for sure. We'll talk about that. There was actually
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: some football practice we can evaluate there too. That's probably
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the best part of it all. Was also the introductory
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: press conference for von Miller, his first time out on
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the field. Didn't really do anything practice wise, not expected
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: to do that, but did a little conditioning work and
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: few walk through drills if you will. What he was
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: wearing number forty. See how long that lasts and see
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: if that's what's going to end up. But all in all,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: it was definitely an interesting day, a lot more than
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: than what it is today. It's kind of a quiet
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: off day for practice for the Cowboys that they'll they'll
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: have one more on Thursday and then pack this thing
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: up and head to Arizona for the second preseason game.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: All right, let's hear from you guys. Brian in Kansas
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: City is first up? Brian, what's up?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: More than Nick?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Morning Man?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I saw a picture of Shaiaz Pete for the first time,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: and he's standing next to other football players and he
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: looks like Lurch standing next to the muncheons on the
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: yellow brick road man. That is a different looking kind
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: of humans. M h yep, Wow, that's a big I
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: don't know if he's ever gonna be an NFL football player.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: That is amongous human being.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why he's here, you know, so they
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: can That's how he got on the radar obviously, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: then from there you see if he can play, they
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: moved him around. He's played some tackle, he's played some guard.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: You know, he's got a he's a developmental player. For sure,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: but we.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Can I ask you a question about how that's so.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Can he can he qualify it's not an international program,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: but can he qualify for that special spot that's been
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: used for international players before because he's a native American.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I don't have the answers to that that either, I
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: just stop me now. Yeah, And and not only do
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I not have the answer, it's a good question. That's
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: not one I would even want to speculate yes or
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: no to. They do have a player, now I'm blanking
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: on who it is. They have somebody on the exemption
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: already for the ninety one so they already have that
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that player. That's why they are ninety one players. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: don't know that. I don't know you're the answer to that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: That's a that's a heck of a question though, though,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: because it seems like it would be very logical. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and that's what he needs, I'm sorry, that's what he needs.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: He needs to be on the practice squad. And he's
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: not gonna he's not going to make the football team,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and he's he's not this year. He's probably not going
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: to make the practice squad. But that's where he needs
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to go. That would be the best case scenario for him,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: not the player. I thought we would talk off first
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: on the show, but I get it. He stands out right,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: he stands out and he got yours.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I just happened to see that picture this morning, and wow,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: I just even standing like I just like I said,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: just even standing amongst other football players. He just looked humonged,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: right right right, That's all I saw.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: So my question for you this morning, though, is what's
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: your What's the first thing it's your that stands out
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: to you as I really need to see this against
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals. For me, I still think it's we don't
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: know who the backup quarterback is?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: To me, that's the that's the number one question.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I'll hang up so other people can get in.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Nick good to talk to you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: That's you know what good good to talk to you,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Brian thinks. And what I was gonna say is if
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: that's I don't I don't agree with you that it's
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the number one question. I think it's a question. It's
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: one that you hope you never really have to figure out.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I think that they've got a little bit more question
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: marks at depth, at at offensive tackle, depth at cornerback,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you know, still still trying to see if they've done
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: enough for the pass rush. You know, what happens is
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: safety is not really that much of it is you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: backup running back. That's that's one because you're talking about
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: rotational positions that the backups play. You know, they they
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: they get in there or maybe not offensive tackle, but
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: there's some concern there. So I think I would put
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: quarterback backup quarterback as a question mark, and I'm not
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: trying to dismiss it, because it is one that you
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: have to make a decision. Even if they keep three,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you have to make a decision on who's the backup
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: and who's the third quarterback or if they put try
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to put maybe Howl in the practice squad and elevate
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: him or something like that. I'm not sure how that
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: how that's gonna work. But yeah, it's it's it's uh,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: it's a question mark. I think they have bigger issues,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: but it is something that that we you know, it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the quarterback position. So it's one that we'll look at
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: it and I would imagine that that they flip it
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: maybe this time and we'll see Milton first and maybe
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: how second. On that just to go back to the
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: first part of what you're talking about with Pete and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: if he could be on the INN. It's the International
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Pathway program is what it is. Uh. And Dio o'delli
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: is actually the player that is on the roster at
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the moment that has that exemption. All right, let's go
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to Dylan Northport, Florida.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Hey, how's it gone good?
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: How are you good?
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: I hope they're going to put an octagon out there
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: for camp next year and get thoughts on that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it would be it would be good.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I mean I I kind of I did more of
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the boxing reference. I kind of had the Cowboys winning.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I think I had seven rounds to five. They worked,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: you know, worked with the jab in there. There was
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: some wrestling stuff. You know, I don't know if it
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: needs to be wrestling. Jalen Thompson got suplex to the ground,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: but yeah, there was some punch and swinging and you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I don't want to just put it all on the Saints,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: but that there, it was pretty clear that their mindset
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: was was to do that and uh, you know they're
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: supposed to practice with the Rams tomorrow. You know, the
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Cowboys went eighty five snaps with the Rams and had
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: one or two pushing and shoving incidents. That's it again
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: with the Rams and so little Just this is different,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: different mentality.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: So yeah, and I kind of like it because you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: when you got somebody coming into your area and they're
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: the aggressors and your teammates are all standing up for
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: each other. I feel like that builds bonds and connections
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: with guys. And I don't hate it even though the
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: practice wasn't great. I'm sure because of all the stoppages.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: That's that's whatever, it is, what it is. I kind
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: of I kind of like it. Building off what you
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: were saying with the backup offensive line, that's what I
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: want to talk about. I was watching back the first
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: half of the Seahawks game. I was like, I'm gonna
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: try to evaluate these running backs and Offutt and Blue
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: and you can't because the backup offensive line was so bad.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: So so my question for you is twofold, it's how
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: do you evaluate, like how to coaches evaluate running backs
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: in these preseason games on the offensive line, just there
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: wasn't a single one or win and my estimation from
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: what I was seeing as far as everybody doing their
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: job on the offensive line was always one guy here,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: one guy there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: So how did the coaches evaluate.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Running backs in that situation? And then how big of
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: a chance do you think it is that running back
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: two is not currently on the roster, either free agent
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: or trade.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I think I think that's always a possibility. I'm not
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't rule that out as as as you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: being being on the table, but I feel like they
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: like these guys enough that it'll be one of them,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Because I just I think
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: that they want to keep you know, Blue MafA and
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: even Malik Davis, and I don't know how it all
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: works out like that, but you know, adding another one
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: to the mix, you know, push this one guy maybe
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: two guys out of here. So I don't see that
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: happening really. I think I think Elik Davis is the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: number two. I just I just think that's that's what
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: it is. He's he's done enough and every time we
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: doubt him, he's the guy. So that's a good question
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: And then the other one I had was the you
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: know how the evaluation how they evaluate these guys like
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: this Saturday is obvious is super important, but the backup
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: offensive line can't do anything, then what do the coaches
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: do right?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: You or you obviously evaluate? Thanks for the call. Dylan
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: is always good stuff, you know, I think what you
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: you you have to evaluate, you know what what they're
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: what they're seeing awareness wise? You know, like are they
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: are they you know, hitting the hole like they're supposed to?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Are they also being patient with their runs? Can they
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: even be paid shit? You know, because like you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I I think of MafA MafA, I had had some
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: nice runs when there was nothing there. He made a
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: little bit out of something where it was about to
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: be a three yard loss. So he runs with power.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I think with MafA one of the biggest issues because
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: he's come out here and he's done a really nice
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: job with his feet. He's he's showed more quickness and
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: burst than a lot of people thought he had, So
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: he has definitely shown some improvement there from a big
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: back that's got some quickness. The issue with MafA that
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the coaches continue to worry about is just running too high,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: not having those pads down a little bit, and and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: that you know, exposed himself to more hits and also
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you know, you're not going to break his many tackles,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: you're not going to have the you know, the yards
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: after contact, you know, by by running that way. So
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: that's that's a big issue with him, you know, just
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: like you know, Blues got his issues as well. But
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I think they want to see these guys with you know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: adequate blocking, and that's something that they haven't really been
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: able to do. So it's a very tough evaluation when
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: you're offensive line. It's tough to evaluate any person, any quarterback,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: any runner, the receivers, whatever. If your offensive line is
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: is not blocking well, especially in these preseason games, then
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: it's a challenge. But I'll tell you this. You know
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: who else has that same challenge? Thirty one other teams?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Thirty one other teams probably want to have better depth
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: on their offensive line. That's just the reality of it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: So all right, let's go to the callers. I have
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: no idea who it is. Chris and Saratoga Springs. What's up?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Not much?
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: Nick?
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: How are you?
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I'm great? How are you doing?
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: Not too bad? Is watching that boxing match yesterday?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: My favorite was obviously Mike Tyson because growing up in
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: New York, living near the Catskills, you know what I mean,
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: he's from here, so yeah, you know, obviously it's Mike Tyson,
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: but I would I would have liked to get a
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: little bit, you know, a little less fighting, a little
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: more practice in yesterday. Yeah, it is what it is.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: You gotta deal with it and move forward, hopefully and
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: hopefully it doesn't happen like that much more. I want
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: to take you back on what Dylan said. I couldn't
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: agree more as far as the evaluation. I watched the
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: game as well, and there was zero yards and you
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: were right too, like MafA made something on nothing. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: would love to see him run behind of the ones
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: to see what he actually has, do you know what
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: I mean? Both of them actually, But we're not going
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: to see that in the preseason. You guys are going
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: to see it, you know, in training camp and in
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: the practices when we're running, when they are running with
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: the ones, more than we're going to see it as
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: a Stan or as a you know, as an now sider.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: So it's an extremely hard evaluation, and I agree one
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: hundred percent with him. I'm still worried about the offensive line.
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: I would love it. I don't know that the two's
• 13:10
  Speaker 9: don't the rookie does and looks like he needs a
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: lot more work the you know steel. I love him
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: at the running you know, run blocking, but pass blocking
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: he still struggled a little bit. But he struggled with
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: that the last two years in our offense still rolled.
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: So yeah, it's more of a scheme. I think the
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: scheme is gonna you know, get a chip here and there,
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: and that will help him on the on the edge.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: But the second string, I'm real worried about the tackles
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: on the second string. And I guess my my one
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: question to you is, I think I asked you the
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: other day, like who who do you think is going
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: to be the number two quarterback on the roster because
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: I don't think they're gonna keep three. I just don't
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: see it with all the other positions that you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: the safeties and the line, you know, the defensive ends
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: that we have and the corners, like they're only gonna
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: I think they're only going to keep two. So you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: if you had to pick who, who would your choice be?
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: For the backup quarterback position.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a tough one. Thanks for the call, Chris.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: You know, I I think Milton has shown some pretty
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: good progress. He's always going to be the leader when
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: it comes to athletic ability, what he can do and
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: when things break down, and so when you're you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: when you're seeing him here in practice and and that's
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: not the goal. The goal is for the quarterback not
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: to just take off and run, you know, like like
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you want to play to develop, because nothing really gets
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: you're not practicing anything there if you know, you're not
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: helping the dbs, you're not helping the receivers when you
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: just take off and run. But we get to a game,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: you're going to take off and run, you know. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: so that's an element that he's got that that that
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: is better than Sam Hallen and mean to be honest,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: it's better than Dak you know, like as far as
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: that goes. Now, there's so many other things about playing quarterback,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: but I think he's he probably gives you a better
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: chance to succeed in a backup role if you're gonna
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: go in. If it's two or three games, it might
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: be a different story. So that that's why this is
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: a very close race. Howl's started more games and he
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: hasn't won a lot, but he started games he's he
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: understands the process there and and Milton is a little
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: bit more of the of the freakish athlete. If you
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: will can throw that ball, I mean they he definitely
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: has a has a stronger arm. Doesn't always mean it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: it's a better arm, but it's definitely stronger. So if
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: it sounds like I'm on the fence, because I am,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I just am, and I think they are too. To
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, all right, let's go to a
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Brandon in Fresnoy.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Brandon, not much, man, Hey, I got a little bit
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: quick question for you.
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: I'm not going to.
• 16:02
  Speaker 11: Really talk about the practice or anything like that, but
• 16:04
  Speaker 11: how long have you been with the Cowboy?
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: I have been with the Cowboys. This is my twenty
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: eighth year. I think I just celebrated twenty seven calendar
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: years since I was hired by This is heading into
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: my twenty eighth season.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: So my questions to you is, because I mean I've
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: been through the five and eleven, the eight and A,
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: the day campus, Shadhatchees, twenty charters, all of that, why
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: does this year feel different? Because I have said this,
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: you know, everybody said, oh, typical Cowboys fans it's our year.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: It's a year.
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: I haven't said that in a long time. I mean
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: maybe since I was a kid. I've been optimistic about it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: You know, Shanga be shot to be yah, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: non biased or anything.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: But I don't know why.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: But why does this year feel different? Can you feel
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: the same?
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, number one, it feels different if I I mean,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to answer it the best way I
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: think I can. It feels different because you want it
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: to feel different. Number one. You just want to you
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: just you know, that's the thing. You just want it
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: to be different so bad so you're just looking for it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: And so this year to be great, you've got to
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: do like I don't think there's ever been a great
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: football team that didn't do something great. You can be
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: good on offense, good on defense, good on special teams,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean you're gonna be a great team.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: You can do something great to be great. And I
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: think that we all see that the offense can be
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: great build off what it was last year. The defense
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: is gonna have to be better and pull their weight.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: And so we've seen them do things. In the free
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: agency was different. You know, they they went and did
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: some things and signed some guys in free agency that
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: you normally wouldn't do. And then they went and just
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: now and with the von Miller signing and all that,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: they seem like they're looking at areas of concern. Oh
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: what about linebacker? It's trade for d winners? Okay, cool,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: you know what? You know, what about what about your
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: pass rusher? Let's go get von Miller and so. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: they're probably not done doing that. So they're they're they're
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: trying to fill holes here, and I you know, you
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: add it all up and and and the attitude is
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: different too. It's just it's just a it's just a
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: different feel. But you know what if it felt different
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty nine when Jimmy was here and then
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: they go and get get you know, hit in the
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: face in the first game against the Saints and they
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: went one in fifteen, So you know, it could feel
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: different all it wants to. It's got to be different, though,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: And the only time will tell.
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah no, because I mean I feel the same way.
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: But usually it's like mid season, you know, a couple
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: of games, theaying all right, yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: We're looking good.
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: I don't know why, just from the gig go right
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: off a free agency to training cap It just it
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: just feels different. I just want to get your get
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: on that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: And it does have a good day. It does. Thanks Brandon,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: appreciate that. I mean it has since we got here,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: you know. And and it's it's you know, getting Caleb
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: downs and and and getting you know, like it. They
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: lucked out. Let's be honest. They lucked out that they
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: got Caleb downs at eleven, you know, and a lot
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: of Cowboy fans feel like they are unlucky, you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: and they were able to do that and get him.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: So that's a that's certainly a good start there. All right,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Let's let's go to the next caller. Here, I was
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: gonna take a break. We'll go to our next caller.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Nico in Colorado Springs. Nico. What's up?
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: What's up Cowboy nationit?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: Nick?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you fired up over there?
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: I'm always fired up? You know that. Whether whether we
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: win or lose, I'm gonna come.
• 19:39
  Speaker 13: At you either way.
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: It doesn't matter straight negative, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: say what I gotta say. So here's what I'm gonna say.
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: I don't know if you can put a bolo out,
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: where the hell is Jerry Jones? And who is this
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: man that is impostering as Jerry Jones? I asked you
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: this last year with the picking straight, But who is
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: this man? Is this from nineteen nineties Jerry Jones? Are
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: we finally getting the Gary Jones that actually says I
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: will put money down the embarrassment amount of money to
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: put down to win a Super Bowl? Are we finally
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: getting somewhere like that? I'm asking you it does?
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: It does look like they are being a lot more
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: aggressive with that approach. And when he said that about
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the Rams, he said, yeah, you have to like what
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: they've done and respect it, and and you know, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: and and that, and it has worked for them. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I think that they're taking some of that now. They
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: haven't gone and pulled the trigger on some major trade
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: yet if they are going to do that, but they
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: have gone and made some some moves here and to
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: to get some guys to help these positions, the moves
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: that we've always wanted them to make, and they're making some.
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: So yeah, yeah, I'm encouraged by what I heard yesterday.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry it may not have been yesterday. My timeline's
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: been off, work has been crazy, but I'm pretty sure
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: it was yesterday. Jerry still emphasized that if their Tanbia
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: may move made, he will, which is great to hear,
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: but you know that also sounds like same old, same
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: old Jerry, you know, piping us out and getting us going.
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: But what I will say to this, just like the
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: other caller, I am your typical, normal Dallas cowboy fan,
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: but I also know when we suck, and I will
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: also admit, you know, hey, we're not going to do
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: very well, or I can admit we are going to
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: do very well. I brought this up to you a
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: couple of times before you and I had a heated
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: disagreement about it. A couple of times debates other people
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: it brought it up too. But when I was fighting,
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: when I was doing MMA, when I was fighting, the
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: first thing I was taught was you don't step in
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: that cage to loose. Same thing with NFL, you don't
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: step in that field to loose. Every year should be
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: an expectation to win a Super Bowl. And when your
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: quarterback finally starts getting that message across, people like von
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: Miller who has got that message across and now I
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: hear Nick even saying, hey, that's great to see fires
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: up the team. I've been saying that forever. So you
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: know what, I'm going to go out on a limb.
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: Here we go. It's going to be super Bowl or
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: busting this year or the next year, these next two years,
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: super Bowl or bust. I'm calling it. Also, last thing,
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: I want to dedicate something to my mother. I didn't
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: have a catchphrase last time Cowboy Nation. My mother died
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: July first, at age fifty eight years old. I want
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: to say, please check on your people. Please please check
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: on your people. If you have parents, love them, hug them,
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: call them. I don't care how mad you are, how
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: how mad they've made you. Please please please.
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: Call your parents.
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: So with that, here's my new catchphrase. Everybody hug your
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: family just a little bit tighter every day, ask for
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: help and help out them Cowboys.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Nico. Sorry to hear that about
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: your your mom, but yes, good good words. And you
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: know what, I think a lot of Cowboy fans would
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: love if you're right about this being a super Bowl
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: or Bust year. It has a different feel to it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: And like we said, like I've said so many times,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: only time will We'll tell. There's a lot of teams
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: in the league that probably feel good about what they're
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: doing right now. Cowboys are one of them. But you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to ask a few people around who's and
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: ones that that seem to be a little bit more
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: negative than positive. And I've kind of asked them like
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: what do you think about this team? And they're like,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: they look pretty good. They look like they could be
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: a pretty good team. So I think I think the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: narrative is definitely changing that this this could be a
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: good team.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: But again, they're gonna have to go out and do it,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: and not only do it week one, week two, you
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: got to keep doing it. You got to keep bringing it.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: That's what a consistent football team is. Because if you
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: look at the NFC and you look at the teams,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: just throw out a team and say are they a
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: playoff team? You're like, yeah, yeah, they look like a
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: playoff team? What about them? Yep? What about them? Yep?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: You get to seven really quick, you know, So there's
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: there's there's gonna be three or four or five football
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: teams in the NFC that you think are dangerous. You
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: see them on your schedule, going ooh, that's gonna be
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: a tough game. Verse three or four of them that
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: aren't gonna make the playoffs, so it's that's gonna be tough.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to Break'll be right back after this.
• 24:14
  Speaker 15: Hey, Hey, Cowboys Nation, we know we've got to bring

• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Ronnie in New Jersey, Hey, Hey, how you been?
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: Nick?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Ronnie in New Jersey what's up?
• 26:25
  Speaker 13: Link you you hear me?
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you.
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 13: How you doing, Nick?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you?
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: Not too bad? Man? Not too bad?
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: First of all, I told Chris, I'm like, thanks for
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: the shirt. I got my shirt this year, and like always,
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: I'm very grateful. You know, I appreciate, appreciate everything you
• 26:47
  Speaker 13: guys do over there. And yeah, it seems like today's
• 26:51
  Speaker 13: phone calls are everybody's excited about this team. I think
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: it feels different because it is different because they're actually
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: making They're making not just moves. It seems like they're
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: making the right moves. I like the defense. I like
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: when they started with a defensive coordinator. They finally went,
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: you know, instead of getting older, he uhould be a
• 27:15
  Speaker 13: head coach type of guy.
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: You got to bring in fresh tannic in every department,
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: even in your you know, in your company, you guys,
• 27:25
  Speaker 13: you guys bring in fresh guys. Every once in a while,
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: guys leave this is and that you're bringing somebody fresh
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: to get somebody an opportunity. And that's what I see.
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: Jerry Jones finally did this year. He gave a defensive
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: coordinator an opportunity a guy that you know, is not
• 27:38
  Speaker 13: known the first time he's going to be calling the plays.
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: But I think it's gonna work out. We saw it
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: in that first preseason game, how they they played different.
• 27:48
  Speaker 13: They seemed different. It's just a backups, but they played initially.
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: When we see a backups, her backups are getting killed.
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: So I think this team he wanted to move away. Nick,
• 28:02
  Speaker 13: maybe you know, maybe that guy from uh from you know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 13: over there California, from LA. If that guy there's some
• 28:10
  Speaker 13: way that guy could end up with us, or or
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: maybe that linebacker from Miami, you know, if maybe that
• 28:17
  Speaker 13: guy could end up with US. I think this team
• 28:20
  Speaker 13: one or two more guys and there they will be
• 28:23
  Speaker 13: a legit contender. That's what I believe. Right now. They'll
• 28:26
  Speaker 13: make noise. They're definitely gonna make noise in the playoffs.
• 28:30
  Speaker 13: I think they can get to the championship game. But
• 28:32
  Speaker 13: from that point on, you know, it's all luck. Let's
• 28:35
  Speaker 13: if we're lucky this year. Hey, you know, we might
• 28:38
  Speaker 13: make it. But yes, thanks for taking my carse for
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: in a while, and thanks for the shirt man, A.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. Ronnie says the Cowboys are gonna
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: make noise. I love it. What a fitting call. Yeah,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: you know, sorry, guys, I'm having a hard time hearing
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: some of these calls right now. But you know, I
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily agree that they need to keep making more moves.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I don't. At some point get to coach what's here
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: and then let's go play. I mean, like the von
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Miller thing, that's fifteen to twenty plays on defense. I mean,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: that's what this guy's coming in to do, you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: twenty plays throughout the game. So I don't know if
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: there's I don't think I would make another trade for
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: any more pass rusher. I wouldn't do that. I mean,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I I'm good there. I think if you're gonna make
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: a trade, I would probably add some cornerback depth or
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: maybe offensive tackle. All right, let's go back to the
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: phone line. Jeff and Arborough, Arborough, Maryland, Upper Marlborough. What's
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: up there?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: You go, Upper Marlborough.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: What's up Maryland?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: See all of the stock of the Dallas Cowboys, That's
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: what's up. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something and just
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: to give you a little, just a slight good history
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: on who I am and why I'm going to say.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I want to say, I've been a Cowboys fan all
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: my life. I'm seventy three years old, Okay, I was
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: a Cowboy fan from age sixteen on to right now.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I met you and Shannon,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Shannon and a couple other people when I was down
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in Dallas during the time that the that the Patriots
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: came to town, and that was twenty twenty three.
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: So I'm in.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I'm all the way in, and I know the disappointments.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I know how irrational Cowboy fans can be, and I
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: know that you are one that's given to be very practical,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: very pragmatic, very objective. But even you have to admits
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: with all of the moves that have been made here
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: from the close of last season to the beginning of
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: this season, bringing in a new DC that's going to
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: change the mindset of dease, bringing in new people that
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: are gonna change the talent of the defense, bringing in
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: another attitude that will change the mentality of the defense.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: And then you ask somebody like von Miller, who's coming
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: from a terrible Washington team where you had to fight
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: through traffic and things like that to make some of
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: his tackles. Some are saying there was gimme the others
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: like he really works. Imagine, now you've got this all
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: world rusher coming in who can lift the whole team
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: and then show them what it's really like on the field. Man,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I got to say, because of all of these defensive moves,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: we already know what we've got an offense, but because
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: of the defense, we've got to be looking at. This
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: is a serious run at the super Bowl. I'm not
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: gonna say we're actually gonna get there, but God Gunnet,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: we have done everything that you can do. And I
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: agree with you in terms of do we keep going
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: out to Oakland or the Cardinals a Miami?
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: No. I think I think we got what we need.
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: If we did anymore, that would really be over the top.
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: But I think we finally have the chemistry and the
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: and the will and the intelligence and the talent to
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: take this thing all the way.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: But what do you think?
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying about
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: to take it all the way. But yeah, I definitely
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: think that you've got enough to compete. It's all you
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: can do, is I mean, you've got to be in
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: the in the conversation of those six or seven, eight
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: teams in the NFC that that are gonna, you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: battle for it, and that's and they're all, you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: it's probably gonna be a situation that that the seventh
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: place team, the sixth place team could go win it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: So that's how that's how deep it is. You got
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: to be one of those teams. And I think they are.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I think they can be one of those teams you
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: get there, who's healthy, who's playing hot at that time
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: of year, all that stuff. But I don't know, I
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: agree with you, Jeff. I'm not. I'm not continuing to
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: throw you know, capital of the draft next year and
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: all that just to kind of go and do this
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: right now. But I mean, if you are gonna make
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: a make a move, to make a trade, it's got
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: to be a Quinn Williams type of deal where you're
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: gonna keep them, You're gonna sign him, you're gonna keep
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: them on your team for a few years. So that's
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: what I would do at least. All right, thanks for
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: the call, Jeff. Let's go to Chris and San Angelo.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Chris s Angelo, I'm here, I got your marriage.
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: Sorry now you doing that?
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Uh huh?
• 33:37
  Speaker 14: All right? Good deal?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Good deal?
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: Hey, I was just gonna I just had a couple
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: of things. I was gonna start with the von Miller
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: sounding really like that. I love the main things. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: love that he really wants to be there, and so
• 33:55
  Speaker 14: that's a big part of what motivation for him. And
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: I think that he's going to he's gonna be ready
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: to empty the tank in Dallas, and so for that reason,
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: I really liked that. The other thing I was going
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: to get to, a big question everybody probably wants to know,
• 34:14
  Speaker 14: is how many productive years do you think Dak has
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: left in him? Now that's a that's a million dollar question.
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: But if they feel like you know, there are some
• 34:29
  Speaker 14: organizations that feel like the best time to draft a quarterback,
• 34:37
  Speaker 14: even high is when you don't even really it's not
• 34:41
  Speaker 14: a need, when you don't even need one, like Duram did.
• 34:44
  Speaker 14: And these are some teams that Jerry has said he
• 34:47
  Speaker 14: has respect for. So you know Durams, you know, they
• 34:51
  Speaker 14: drafted one, and they were already a good team and
• 34:54
  Speaker 14: they drafted one in the first round. So you think
• 35:00
  Speaker 14: when the shock or surprised if the Cowboys decided, hey
• 35:05
  Speaker 14: let's get a let's draft a quarterback. Now I'm talking
• 35:10
  Speaker 14: about maybe not next year, but in you know, but
• 35:14
  Speaker 14: pretty soon you say, let's get one high. Let's let
• 35:18
  Speaker 14: him come in and go about it that rate, yeah right,
• 35:23
  Speaker 14: instead of you know, maybe they don't feel like they
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: have his replacement on the roster is all his long
• 35:31
  Speaker 14: term replacement on the roster. To see how you felt about.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: That, Yeah, I mean I think that there's teams that
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: approach that differently. You know, the Rams that, like you said,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: did that. Green Bay has done that for for years,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: drafting quarterbacks that already have one there and then that
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: that you know, with Green Bay you can say that
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: it's worked. It's also created kind of a weird between
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: the team and the quarterback that's there, you know what
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: I mean. I mean, you think about it. You're picking
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: twenty second overall and you draft a quarterback when you've
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: got a Pro Bowl slash MVP caliber quarterback already, and
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: that guy's like, well, okay, I get the point. But boy,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: if you gave me a right tackle or a left tackle,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: or a tight end or receiver somebody that can help me,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: or somebody on defense that gets us the ball back,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: we could be even better this year. So I don't
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I'll be shocked if the Cowboys did that. They just
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: haven't done that ever. I mean, I don't think you
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: can make the case Jerry's really done that before you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: he's drafted quarterbacks for the future. Fourth round is where
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: it's been. Now. They drafted Steven McGee. I'm not really
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: sure why. And I say that because Romo was just
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: you know, he was just getting getting started as the
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: starter the draft to Dak Prescott in the fourth round.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: That was not to be a guy that would be
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: a starter. You know, the only time they've ever really
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: done it was getting Troy Aikman with the number one
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: overall pick, and he went and played. They haven't done that.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: They've tried to go different avenues and so they kind
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: of lucked into Dak. They definitely looked into Romo, and
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: so you know they've done it that way. I would
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: just be surprised. If you're trying to help Dak, you
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: help his team and go win with the window you've got.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I just I think you go and get a you know,
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Malechi Lawrence or Tyler Smith or Tyler Geyton. I'm just
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: thinking of guys that were taken in that twentieth range
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: twenty in the twenties, and so I don't see that
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: happening with the first round, second and third maybe, but
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: it's typically been the fourth And I think Jerry's just
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: had success with getting finding quarterbacks in different ways, different
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: areas and going that route with it. All right, let's
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: go take break. Let's take our last break here on

• 40:18
  Speaker 3: I wish we could figure out a way to do
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: more of these shows, but it's just kind of the
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: way the schedule presents itself. So it's fun.
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: Though.
• 40:27
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm I'm in my second week in Charleston, South Carolina,
• 40:31
  Speaker 19: and I got one more week or next week. I'm
• 40:34
  Speaker 19: going back home.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I'm ready to go.
• 40:36
  Speaker 13: To Yeah, I don't know how you feel.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I don't blame Everybody wants to get in their own,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: their own bed, their own you know, bathroom, own situation,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: all that.
• 40:43
  Speaker 19: So I got a couple of questions real quick. Camden Brown,
• 40:48
  Speaker 19: I mean he had a looking up his you know,
• 40:52
  Speaker 19: his college stuff. Last year. He was pretty impressive OA
• 40:57
  Speaker 19: in college football, yeah, do you think he's I think
• 41:00
  Speaker 19: he's he's got a chance of being something like that
• 41:03
  Speaker 19: with the.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Cowboys, being something like that, like being a star, like
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: being like a Miles Austin type, you know. And you know,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to think of an undrafted receiver that
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: did well and then it took Miles a while though.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, Miles was on the team and six didn't
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: do anything till nine. So you know, it did enough
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: to stick around obviously, but you know, it took took
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: him a little bit to get going. You know, Drew
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Pearson was undrafted. I mean, so I'm just trying to
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: think of undrafted receivers that that that make it and
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: and have you know, that kind of success. But I
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: think he's gonna make the team for sure. I like,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I like what he brings though he's he's a big body.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: He can run, but he has shown the ability to
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: go get the football, like when it's in the air,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: it's his ball, and so you love that for him.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: He's just it's not too big for him. Georgia Southern,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: it's the college he was at, Auburn, Okay, and he
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: that's that's that's where he was then that's that's who
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: he was. He was that type of player, went to
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Georgia Southern and he showed that he was an Auburn
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: type of football player playing on Georgia's Southern's team and
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: their schedule and he dominated. The fact that he wasn't
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: drafted is shocking, But well, there was a there was
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: a couple of guys here for the Cowboys that put
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: a draftable grade on him, and that's what that's why
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: they they said, well, let's let's go get this guy.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: So you know, this guy's got to be patting himself
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: on the back right now, walking around here with his
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: chest out like I told you. But hey, that's how
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: it works. Somebody stands on the table for somebody, you know.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, somebody was on the table for Romo and
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Miles Austin and those guys.
• 42:42
  Speaker 19: So one more quick, one, mon Miller. Yeah, he I heard.
• 42:48
  Speaker 19: I heard this. I don't know if this is true.
• 42:51
  Speaker 19: I know he owns Greener Pastures Chicken in Texas and
• 42:56
  Speaker 19: I heard he's offered Linkey lifetime chicken for that number forty.
• 43:03
  Speaker 19: You think that's true?
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think I think that's true. I mean,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: does he take it? I don't. I don't know. There's
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: there's I'm curious. There's some debate on what's going on
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: here with forty. I think he really wants it. We'll
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: see what happens. I think Lipke wants to keep it
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah, yeah, I don't know from what I
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: was told and I I posted a video about this
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: this morning. Is that right now he's in forty and
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: we'll just see how it goes because offense and defense
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: can both wear forty. But I was told that Lipkey's
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: probably going to keep it. So so what happens is
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: that being the case, now we'll see how bad von
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Miller really wants it, you know, if he wants it
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: to you know, raise the anti or whatever. But you know,
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: I think right now they're going to kind of see
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: what what numbers open up, and that's that's what it is.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: But I mean, if he if he goes to forty,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: that means he's he's up. The offered made it made
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: a deal that Lifkey could couldn't refuse. But I think
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: as it stands right now, Liftkey wants to keep it,
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: and von Miller's like just kind of looking and see
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: what the options are.
• 44:09
  Speaker 19: So thanks, man, I appreciate it.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it. All right, let's go to Rob in Vegas. Rob,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: you'll be our last caller here in ox near fitting.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: So what's up, Hey, Nick?
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: Hey Lipty should take the chicken for life, no offense, litkey,
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: but nobody really knows what number you are. I mean,
• 44:31
  Speaker 8: give up, give up the number, take the chicken.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I you.
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: Know, listening to the fans and optimistic, and I think
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: I think every fan of the team should be optimistic
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: at this time of the end. As Cowboy fans, we
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: should be optimistic. I mean, we got players, right, the
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: only difference is they just haven't made plays when they
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: needed to.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: You could go back.
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: I just watched that uh Seattle Romo playoff game. I
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: don't know it was on TV, and I don't know
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: why I watched it. I shut it off right before
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: he fumbled because it still makes me mad. But you
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: watch that game and when Terry Glenn just drops that
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: pass and it gets flown into the for the safe,
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: that just changed the game.
• 45:13
  Speaker 12: And obviously he dropped the stuff.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: I mean, we've seen it going back twenty years. You
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: got players, you just got to make plays. And I
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: look at Seattle last year, I'm saying, I don't. Defensively, yes,
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: that may be better, but I don't think their offense
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: is as good as ours. So if they could do
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: it last year, why can't the Cowboys do it?
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: I mean and talking about the back of a quarterback.
• 45:40
  Speaker 13: To me, Knockwood, what.
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: Are we talking about if that goes out Week three
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: for the rest of the year, and play Milton. You
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: got a whole year to see what he can do.
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: You know is but let's say he's out a couple
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: of weeks. How bad is the defense? How good is
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: the defense? Defense is playing good? Maybe you want to
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: play the other guy. He could be a little more conservative.
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: If I need to put up thirty a game because
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: the defense ain't good, then I give me Milton. So
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: it all depends, and I think that's probably what they're
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: fighting with. But right now I like what I see
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: with Milton. Yeah, you know, samhow Connor reminds me of
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: Cooper Rush.
• 46:20
  Speaker 13: Yeah he could.
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: You know, he's not gonna do nothing flashy, probably won't
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: do anything stupid. But I don't know Milton. To me,
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: I said it last time I called. Compared to last year,
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: he looks much better. So to me give the kid,
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: you know, a shot. But yeah, everybody.
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: Should be optimistic.
• 46:39
  Speaker 12: It's it's football.
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: I mean even Cleveland is optimistic, or whoever your team is,
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, So let's see what happens.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: You make some good points, Rob, I anything else, so
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: we'll wrap it up. You got anything else?
• 46:55
  Speaker 12: No, we're good.
• 46:56
  Speaker 13: No, No, you guys are getting off.
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: That's cool.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Rob, I appreciate. I'm gonna talk on two of
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: these points that you made though. Thanks for the call,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: and that'll be our last call from maxt arnemy. Let
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: me wrap this up. As far as you know, he
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: said that about Seattle and didn't think that their offense was,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: you know, that much different than the Cowboys, or even
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: better than the Cowboys. And I agree with that. Actually,
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: the defensively, obviously they they were. They were so good
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: with just how many players they had in the waves
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: of it. And I know that he knows that. So
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: I think that Seattle is a good example of the
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: fact of as long as you're doing something really well
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: on the verge of greatness. And I think that's what
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: made Seattle such a complete team. It's their offense was
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: pretty good, their defense was really good, like greatness and
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: the combination of that just they got lightning in a
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: bottle and they and they won won the Super Bowl.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: So I think I think that's what's exciting about. You know,
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: when you ask what why does it feel different? It
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: feels different because we know the Cowboys offense can be
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: as good as Seattle's defense was, so you know that
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: was their strength. The Cowboys offense is their strength, then
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: that can be to that level. Now stay with me here,
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: can the Cowboys defense get to the point and be
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: as complimentary as Seattle's offense was as your if your
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: number two thing you do is is pretty good and
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: pretty you know, close to that. Now you have a
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: chance to have a complete game. Because there's gonna be
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: games where it rains here, or the weather it does this,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: or whatever it is, or it's just a high scoring
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: or whatever it has to be. There's games you're gonna
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: have to win with offense. It's games you're gonna have
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: to win with defense. I can tell you this though.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: If the special teams doesn't turn things around a little bit,
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: then that's that's gonna be concerning too. I'm not hitting
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: panic button yet. It's preseason. It's hard to figure out
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: who the guys are the core players are just yet.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: And I think you make a great point too, Rob
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: about the Milton and wrote down Rush because you said
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: how was like Rush? And I see that. I see
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: that too. You know, if Micah Parsons and that defense
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: didn't domin eight in those games when Dak got hurt
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: for four or five, Cooper Rush isn't they're not winning
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: those games. They won because of the defense. If the
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: defense can take that kind of leap, and you want
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: to be safe and conservative, then right then then then
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: play how and how We'll give you a chance to
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: win those games. If you need to go put up
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: some points and play fast break football, then Joe Milton's
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: the guy. That's why. That's probably going to hurt this
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: team in the long run because they're gonna probably have
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: to keep both of them. So not a huge problem
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: to have, but but it is something to think about
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: because you just can't differentiate between the two quarterbacks.
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: Are that.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: That's a really good point and I think that's something
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys are wrestling with. All right, Uh, great show, guys.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Ten is our number out out here. It always seems
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: like we get we get to ten We're not done
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: with the shows out here Talking Cowboys. I see Nicole
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Hutchinson walking around here. She's ready to get things rolling
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: for Talking Cowboys. They'll go one more time and then
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: tomorrow we'll come back with Cowboys Shift and also U
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Cowboys Break, which would be a makeshift version of that.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: But we still got three more podcasts after this, But
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: no no Cowboys storyline and no phone calls from you guys.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it's been a fun time out here at camp.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Chris Beam does such great work to get this thing going,
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: to get the lines working. Sometimes there's some technical issues.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: If you could see a setup here, he's got this
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: umbrella and he's got all kinds of wires and stuff
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: out here on this tennis court and he's making it work.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: And he's done such a great job with it. So
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: every show we've done he's been able to put it together.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: It's been fantastic. He is the mcgiver, if you know
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: the reference. He is the mcgiver of our team because
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: he can figure it out always. All right. So for
• 50:38
