- 1:02Speaker 3: with you guys. You already had a couple of callers
- 1:04Speaker 3: on the line. You guys know the drill eighty eight
- 1:06Speaker 3: eight five five to two nine seven. It's the number
- 1:09Speaker 3: to call. Let's get start it. Let's go right to
- 1:13Speaker 3: Brian and Kansas City, Brian, what's.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Up, man?
- 1:15Speaker 3: What do you got?
- 1:16Speaker 4: Good morning, sir? Morning?
- 1:19Speaker 5: You know I was I was talking to uh. I
- 1:22Speaker 5: don't know if you know this. There's other shows on
- 1:25Speaker 5: dot com. I don't know if you were aware.
- 1:27Speaker 3: I'm aware I've been on one of them. I've been
- 1:30Speaker 3: on all of them probably at some point.
- 1:32Speaker 4: At some point.
- 1:32Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna tell you've probably been on every show
- 1:35Speaker 5: that there's ever been, Right.
- 1:37Speaker 3: I don't know about Girls Talk, Boys Talk. I don't
- 1:38Speaker 3: know if I've been invited to that. But but for
- 1:41Speaker 3: the for the most part, I think I've been on
- 1:42Speaker 3: all of them. But anyways, what's up? What caught your ear?
- 1:46Speaker 3: And those other shows?
- 1:48Speaker 5: Well, you know, this week I was thinking, you know,
- 1:51Speaker 5: after we re signed Osa and you know, listening to everything,
- 1:57Speaker 5: and there's always some wild cards the draft, right, there's
- 2:01Speaker 5: always you know, the Raiders always do something off the wall,
- 2:05Speaker 5: right that throws everything, you know kind of yeah, has
- 2:08Speaker 5: that domino effect. But what I think, what happens if
- 2:15Speaker 5: Mason Graham falls to twelve?
- 2:19Speaker 4: Do you what do you.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Do if that's if that's the best player on your
- 2:23Speaker 5: board and you just gave Osa and Graham's for people
- 2:26Speaker 5: that you know, maybe don't follow real closely. Graham's a
- 2:30Speaker 5: three tech from Michigan.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Oh no, no, Michigan out, yeah, exactly, no, no, no, yeah, no,
- 2:36Speaker 3: no Michigan defensive lineman.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Right, he can he can go, he can go sit
- 2:40Speaker 5: on a beach with this taco somewhere. But but you know,
- 2:44Speaker 5: what do you do? You just paid Osa twenty million dollars?
- 2:48Speaker 4: Do you do you?
- 2:50Speaker 5: And and this is not a super strong draft, meaning
- 2:53Speaker 5: I don't think there'd be a ton of people knocking
- 2:55Speaker 5: on your door saying, hey, I want to trade up, right,
- 2:58Speaker 5: And maybe if Graham's there, maybe there would be you know,
- 3:01Speaker 5: somebody there, And I know, so I'd be curious for
- 3:05Speaker 5: for other callers, and of course for you.
- 3:08Speaker 4: What would you do?
- 3:09Speaker 5: You know it brought us always says we don't window
- 3:12Speaker 5: address our board if that's the best player on the board,
- 3:16Speaker 5: regardless to the fact that you already have a twenty
- 3:18Speaker 5: million dollars three tech.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you do?
- 3:21Speaker 5: And I'll hang up with my brothers.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Good to talk to you, Yeah, good to talk to you.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Good, good question. You know, it's one of those things
- 3:29Speaker 3: I always I always look at best available need I
- 3:32Speaker 3: don't look at best available player, I say best available need.
- 3:37Speaker 3: And as I'm as I'm watching this, I love having
- 3:39Speaker 3: the NFL Network on because of this little scroll down
- 3:42Speaker 3: here that have everybody in the world has their own
- 3:44Speaker 3: mock draft. And so I just saw where the fourth
- 3:48Speaker 3: pick in the in the draft, I mean was the Patriots.
- 3:51Speaker 3: They had Graham. So that would be quite a fall
- 3:55Speaker 3: probably for him. I'm not saying that he would go that.
- 3:58Speaker 3: These mock drafts are the you know, the Gospel or
- 4:00Speaker 3: anything like that, but he is supposed to go higher
- 4:03Speaker 3: than that. So if he falls, are the what the
- 4:05Speaker 3: Cowboys do?
- 4:07Speaker 4: You know?
- 4:07Speaker 3: And then so I say best available need? Is that
- 4:10Speaker 3: a big need at that point? Now? Having defensive tackles
- 4:16Speaker 3: that can play in a rotation that's not something we're
- 4:19Speaker 3: used to having a lot of too many of. But yeah,
- 4:23Speaker 3: I mean when when you did pay for Osa and
- 4:26Speaker 3: then could they play together? Sure they could, but but
- 4:29Speaker 3: is that really the style that you want? So I
- 4:32Speaker 3: I would probably pass, and I would maybe maybe wait
- 4:39Speaker 3: for the phone or to ring see if if if
- 4:40Speaker 3: if he's a guy that somebody would uh, you know,
- 4:43Speaker 3: try to trade up for. So I just feel like
- 4:46Speaker 3: there's there's other needs there probably gonna get a really
- 4:50Speaker 3: good football player in him. But but I would probably
- 4:53Speaker 3: go another route. I just I still would go with
- 4:58Speaker 3: an offensive lineman. I mean that's probably if I get
- 5:00Speaker 3: asked again today, that would be my pick. I think
- 5:05Speaker 3: would be an offensive lineman, a tackle, a guard. We'll see,
- 5:11Speaker 3: you know whoever's there is some somebody that can do both,
- 5:13Speaker 3: I'd be That's probably where I would would lean. All right,
- 5:18Speaker 3: let's go to second caller Randy in Texas, Canada. What's up,
- 5:23Speaker 3: my friend, my man, how you doing.
- 5:26Speaker 6: I'm all right? Uh, I wanted to call in two.
- 5:30Speaker 6: Part of my ask you question is crazy because what
- 5:33Speaker 6: I was about to talk about was what you just
- 5:34Speaker 6: finished with.
- 5:35Speaker 4: Oh ah.
- 5:36Speaker 6: But the first half I want to talk to my
- 5:38Speaker 6: fellow storyliners, and I need to let them all know
- 5:42Speaker 6: that this year we've got the draft coming up. Let's
- 5:46Speaker 6: please stick with the top one, two, three pick scenarios.
- 5:51Speaker 6: Some of them called last year where they were into
- 5:54Speaker 6: trading their neighbors dogs in the eighth round of four
- 5:57Speaker 6: years from now and all that kind of stuff. Age,
- 6:00Speaker 6: it's too much. You've got a better chance of Jerry
- 6:02Speaker 6: Jones turned the team over to you than for your scenario.
- 6:06Speaker 6: To work, so let's try to keep it up somewhat
- 6:10Speaker 6: took toward the top there to make it fun.
- 6:12Speaker 4: And time out.
- 6:14Speaker 6: You get me.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I just have a question, can you can you trade
- 6:18Speaker 3: the neighbors dog? I mean, is that something you can do?
- 6:21Speaker 3: Because I mean, believe me, there's some scenarios in my
- 6:24Speaker 3: life where I wouldn't mind trading the neighbor's dog. So
- 6:26Speaker 3: is that something that's on the table.
- 6:28Speaker 6: Anything is possible, my friends, Oh, hold on, listen, there
- 6:34Speaker 6: you go ahead.
- 6:34Speaker 4: You get on.
- 6:35Speaker 6: I hadn't done that in a while. Yeah, okay, So
- 6:38Speaker 6: what I'll go get to what you were finishing up
- 6:41Speaker 6: with is I was actually gonna bring up the offensive line,
- 6:44Speaker 6: and I've all I've been all about the wide receiver,
- 6:47Speaker 6: running back, linebacker, blah blah, blah blah blah. Last week
- 6:51Speaker 6: I was listening to uh Hanging with Boys and Jesse
- 6:55Speaker 6: and Nate brought up a scenario that I couldn't agree
- 6:59Speaker 6: with more. And I'm not sure about who's available because
- 7:04Speaker 6: I hadn't really got into it very deep. But left
- 7:07Speaker 6: tackle now, I know we picked one last year and
- 7:10Speaker 6: got but yeah, you know, I don't want to say
- 7:13Speaker 6: Aaron badmouth the guy but give him time to grow.
- 7:16Speaker 6: But everybody says he's more of a right Make him
- 7:21Speaker 6: a swing tackle, Let him grow into his body, let
- 7:24Speaker 6: him grow into his knowledge and all that good stuff.
- 7:26Speaker 6: Have him more of a right tackle future behind Terran. Yeah,
- 7:32Speaker 6: and there a left tackle out there in the draft
- 7:36Speaker 6: that would be a much better trade or not a trade,
- 7:38Speaker 6: but a pick at twelve. Because if we could do
- 7:42Speaker 6: that this year and we've got all of our young
- 7:46Speaker 6: guys in the middle, and then have a number one
- 7:49Speaker 6: top down the right, I mean, we wouldn't have to
- 7:53Speaker 6: sweat our running back as much this year because build
- 7:57Speaker 6: that line this year. Next year, go after top running back.
- 8:01Speaker 3: And now you're saying I'm with you, I'm yeah, I
- 8:06Speaker 3: like I like the offensive tackle at twelve, you know,
- 8:10Speaker 3: like like better than I liked it at twenty what
- 8:13Speaker 3: it was, twenty seven, twenty eight. I can't remember where
- 8:15Speaker 3: they even got guided because they traded him back, but
- 8:17Speaker 3: they traded back. But I mean, I just like the
- 8:20Speaker 3: offensive any prospect at twelve over twenty twenty eight, you know,
- 8:24Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna like better, but I'm for that.
- 8:27Speaker 3: And one of those guys is going to fall. One
- 8:30Speaker 3: of those guys that you know is projected a little
- 8:32Speaker 3: bit higher than that. What if it's the LSU guy
- 8:34Speaker 3: Will Campbell, which a lot of people think maybe is
- 8:37Speaker 3: more of a guard. But I'm looking at our draft
- 8:41Speaker 3: magazine that our staff put together. Kyle Yeoman's Tommy Yarish
- 8:48Speaker 3: helped put this together. So I'm just looking at the
- 8:50Speaker 3: offensive tackles there, and it's hard to see because like
- 8:54Speaker 3: the number one guy here is Kelvin Banks from Texas,
- 8:56Speaker 3: and I've seen him all over the first round, so
- 8:59Speaker 3: and some people will project him as a guard. Josh Simmons,
- 9:03Speaker 3: Ohio State. Some of these guys, the guy from Missouri,
- 9:06Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna try to pronounce that one yet.
- 9:08Speaker 3: So anyways, I like, but if the guy that they like,
- 9:12Speaker 3: the cowboys like that sitting there, that they they have
- 9:16Speaker 3: a greade on that that's worthy of the twelfth pick,
- 9:18Speaker 3: I'd be totally fine with that. Though even though you
- 9:20Speaker 3: picked the Guyton Guiden hasn't proven that he's ready to
- 9:23Speaker 3: be a starter in this league left or right. When
- 9:27Speaker 3: he proves that great great problem to have, great problem
- 9:30Speaker 3: to have, we got all these guys, but right now
- 9:31Speaker 3: he hasn't shown that. So maybe that motivates him because
- 9:35Speaker 3: he's got some tools. I mean, he's it's there, he's
- 9:39Speaker 3: just got to got to get it figured out. But
- 9:40Speaker 3: I love that scenario. I don't hate that at all
- 9:43Speaker 3: because that helps your your whole team, your quarterback, your
- 9:46Speaker 3: running back, your receivers magically get better when your offensive line.
- 9:49Speaker 6: Is better and you and you look at what everybody
- 9:52Speaker 6: says about the Eagles in their Super Bowl winn Oh,
- 9:55Speaker 6: their offensive line. They're defensive line, which is balls right
- 9:58Speaker 6: under your your collar from up doors. I always yeah,
- 10:02Speaker 6: last and give him his props. He I know, he
- 10:06Speaker 6: says it ever done, and he's right. I mean, he's right.
- 10:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:10Speaker 6: Remember last year when I called in, I said, throw
- 10:12Speaker 6: everything at the lines. I mean, and and do you
- 10:16Speaker 6: get those beats up? All the little fellas out there
- 10:18Speaker 6: and looking pretty on the side, they're not gonna do
- 10:21Speaker 6: as much.
- 10:21Speaker 3: That's right.
- 10:22Speaker 6: That's right, brother, to get to the next one.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Andy, good stuff. Appreciate it. Yeah, I just that's that
- 10:30Speaker 3: would be a scenario that I would like. Now, I'm
- 10:33Speaker 3: if the running you know, if Genty's there at twelve,
- 10:37Speaker 3: and that would be that would be a fun pick.
- 10:40Speaker 3: And uh and I think that would be worthy of it.
- 10:44Speaker 3: I'm not so sold on the receiver, but let's see
- 10:50Speaker 3: what happens here between now and the draft. I think
- 10:52Speaker 3: if they do anything else in free agency, I would
- 10:57Speaker 3: think it's be a receiver. So let's just see you
- 11:01Speaker 3: if there's anything else in the works ere And I
- 11:04Speaker 3: don't know that specifically, but I would think the Cowboys
- 11:08Speaker 3: would probably have that position a little bit more short
- 11:11Speaker 3: up going into the draft. That doesn't mean you don't
- 11:13Speaker 3: draft the guy at twelve, because whoever you're bringing in
- 11:16Speaker 3: doesn't mean he's going to be here for a long
- 11:18Speaker 3: long time. But I still think there's some more moves
- 11:21Speaker 3: out there. I think backup quarterbacks another one that I
- 11:23Speaker 3: think the Cowboys are still obviously gonna address here at
- 11:27Speaker 3: some point. All right, Oh, my man, Joe, and Stanford
- 11:31Speaker 3: is on the line. Joe, it's been a while.
- 11:32Speaker 7: What's up, hey, brother? So I'm going over on my
- 11:36Speaker 7: break at work. Because you started ride at nine thirty.
- 11:39Speaker 7: It was like, I'm gonna get in this time.
- 11:40Speaker 3: So good job.
- 11:42Speaker 4: It's worth it.
- 11:42Speaker 7: Though hopefully I don't get in too much trouble.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Hope not.
- 11:46Speaker 7: Yeah, Now, I'll be all right. So you are talking draft,
- 11:50Speaker 7: I sent you I sent a text on this topic.
- 11:54Speaker 7: But I like drafting best available almost no matter what.
- 12:01Speaker 7: Now there's there's like two or three guys that could
- 12:05Speaker 7: drop to that twelve spot that I think no matter
- 12:08Speaker 7: you know, it doesn't matter that they're what their position is.
- 12:11Speaker 7: They're just straight up studs. Yeah, and studs get drafted
- 12:15Speaker 7: no matter what. I don't care what your position need is.
- 12:17Speaker 7: I don't care if you've got I like to tied
- 12:20Speaker 7: end from Penn State.
- 12:21Speaker 3: I was about to say. I was about to say, well,
- 12:23Speaker 3: if it's tied end from Penn State, you like it?
- 12:26Speaker 8: Oh?
- 12:26Speaker 9: Yeah, I like him.
- 12:27Speaker 7: He reminds me of Bowers. Now I'm not sure he's
- 12:29Speaker 7: gonna be as good as Bowers, but he reminds me
- 12:32Speaker 7: a whole lot of Bowers. I wanted Bowers last year.
- 12:36Speaker 7: He told me I was stupid.
- 12:37Speaker 9: I love Bowers.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I watched college football and I feel
- 12:41Speaker 3: like I know a lot of the stuff, a lot
- 12:43Speaker 3: of the great players. But did he just kind of
- 12:45Speaker 3: burst onto the scene late? Or was I did I Warren?
- 12:48Speaker 3: But did I just not ever hear about him?
- 12:51Speaker 7: He had one hundred and fifty three receptions in college
- 12:54Speaker 7: one hundred and three of them last year. So so
- 12:58Speaker 7: he just found a coach that I think it's just
- 13:01Speaker 7: finally some coach said this guy is a stunt.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Why Yeah, I like it.
- 13:07Speaker 7: So as I say, I'm best available guy myself. But
- 13:10Speaker 7: if if, if, if all the guys I really love dropping, Yeah,
- 13:14Speaker 7: I'm with you, let's get an off into tackle man.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 13:17Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if they can mess this
- 13:19Speaker 3: one up. I really don't, you know. I mean, even
- 13:21Speaker 3: if you trade back a little bit, there's just so
- 13:24Speaker 3: many needs and so many really good players that I
- 13:27Speaker 3: think that they're going to get in it. And if
- 13:29Speaker 3: they did that and got their third round pick or
- 13:31Speaker 3: fourth round pick back, you know, and the pick that
- 13:34Speaker 3: they had for Mingo, if they if they did that,
- 13:37Speaker 3: still picked up a really good player.
- 13:40Speaker 10: You know.
- 13:40Speaker 3: I think I think that that it's hard. It's hard
- 13:43Speaker 3: to go wrong here. So uh, I'm excited about what
- 13:46Speaker 3: they've done because I think they've done just enough in
- 13:49Speaker 3: free agency, just enough to kind of, you know, put
- 13:52Speaker 3: some band aids on a few positions, and then they
- 13:55Speaker 3: should be in good shape and heading into the draft.
- 13:57Speaker 3: There's really not a major like glaring need the like, well,
- 14:00Speaker 3: you've got to get this position but kind of like
- 14:03Speaker 3: they did last year with offensive line. You had to
- 14:05Speaker 3: get an offensive lineman, but this year you don't. You're
- 14:09Speaker 3: not pigeonholed into doing that.
- 14:11Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree. I want to shout out to storyliners
- 14:14Speaker 7: on X. I don't get on there as much to participate,
- 14:17Speaker 7: but I pay a lot of attention to it, and
- 14:19Speaker 7: I appreciate what those guys are doing.
- 14:20Speaker 3: Gotta go, brother, all right, thank you appreciate it. Don't
- 14:22Speaker 3: get in trouble at work there. Thanks Joe and Stanford. Uh.
- 14:26Speaker 3: And he's he's thanking the people on Storyline X, the
- 14:32Speaker 3: storyliners that have their own I guess it's their own.
- 14:36Speaker 3: The spaces is what's called a little community over there.
- 14:39Speaker 3: It's pretty awesome. Uh. And ironically, the guy that is
- 14:44Speaker 3: one of the people's spear hitting that is Dylan in
- 14:47Speaker 3: north Port, Florida. Who's next? So Dylan, Joe's doing a
- 14:50Speaker 3: shout out to you.
- 14:52Speaker 4: What's up next? Up? Joe?
- 14:55Speaker 3: How you doing good? How's it going over there?
- 14:57Speaker 4: With?
- 14:58Speaker 3: I mean, I always mess up how to say it?
- 15:00Speaker 3: Say it? Give me like the cliff Notes version of
- 15:03Speaker 3: what what is that? What do y'all call yourself? A
- 15:05Speaker 3: little community over there?
- 15:07Speaker 11: Spaces.
- 15:08Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 15:08Speaker 12: Yeah, so it's on Twitter, slash x, whatever you want.
- 15:11Speaker 11: To call it.
- 15:11Speaker 12: It's the Cowboys Storyliners and it's you just go to
- 15:15Speaker 12: the search thing imajig up in the top right corner
- 15:18Speaker 12: of Twitter and just search the community. It's type in
- 15:21Speaker 12: storyliners or Cowboys story liners. We should pop right up,
- 15:23Speaker 12: and we do. I changed the date of our spaces.
- 15:26Speaker 12: Our spaces are like little hangouts we do. I try
- 15:29Speaker 12: to kind of keep it open, but it gets a
- 15:30Speaker 12: little wild in there.
- 15:31Speaker 4: As you know.
- 15:32Speaker 12: Last week that was probably the most intense one that
- 15:34Speaker 12: we've had in sometime. I felt that for Rob. I
- 15:37Speaker 12: let Rob kind of defend himself, but it was like
- 15:39Speaker 12: the last alumo out there. He was like getting hit
- 15:41Speaker 12: from every angle. And yeah, he did a good job.
- 15:43Speaker 12: But yeah, yeah, it's at a certain point you got
- 15:46Speaker 12: to kind of step in and you got to go
- 15:48Speaker 12: to hand raises and all that. But yeah, no, we
- 15:50Speaker 12: have our spaces every Thursday night at nine pm Eastern,
- 15:53Speaker 12: so I guess i'd be eight Central time.
- 15:56Speaker 3: Yeah. You you do a nice job navigating that. You
- 15:59Speaker 3: have to kind of tell everyone calm down and you
- 16:01Speaker 3: mute everyone. I've said that happened a couple of times
- 16:03Speaker 3: like okay, I'm muting everyone. Everyone, Everyone calmed down, relax,
- 16:07Speaker 3: all right.
- 16:08Speaker 12: So I tryed to abuse my powers, but it gets
- 16:10Speaker 12: to a certain point where you can't hear anything.
- 16:13Speaker 3: It's fun. That's I love that that that that's what
- 16:17Speaker 3: this show is kind of ignited. So as long as
- 16:20Speaker 3: you guys don't forget about, you know, this show and
- 16:22Speaker 3: just forget we don't need that anymore. We got our
- 16:25Speaker 3: own community. So no, I love that you guys have
- 16:28Speaker 3: done that and and and picked up friends and you
- 16:32Speaker 3: know along the way, uh, people all across the world.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Really that you guys are able to talk to it's
- 16:38Speaker 3: pretty awesome.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 16:39Speaker 12: Well, you know, I started this thing because you were
- 16:41Speaker 12: after that first season. You were going on break for
- 16:42Speaker 12: a couple of months there, and I was like, well,
- 16:44Speaker 12: he had a lot of progress as far as the
- 16:46Speaker 12: listener a count and all that stuff, you know, are
- 16:48Speaker 12: doing really well. I'm like, I don't want to keep the
- 16:49Speaker 12: momentum going, so what can I do? So that's kind
- 16:51Speaker 12: of come up with this thing.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, what you got?
- 16:55Speaker 12: Yeah, draft talk? Offensive line, man, I'm totally cool with that.
- 16:58Speaker 12: I know a lot of cowboys isn't. But you got
- 17:01Speaker 12: to remember. I just tell people, think about twenty fourteen,
- 17:03Speaker 12: Think about twenty sixteen. Those teams were really good.
- 17:06Speaker 10: For what reason?
- 17:06Speaker 12: It was the offensive line. Okay, you got a rookie
- 17:08Speaker 12: quarterback step in who was a fourth round pick, and
- 17:11Speaker 12: he succeeded. He played very very well, far beyond expectations,
- 17:15Speaker 12: probably because the offensive line are a big part of it.
- 17:17Speaker 12: What was the offensive line and the running game that
- 17:19Speaker 12: you had, So in order to re establish that running
- 17:21Speaker 12: game and get this thing going again, I think you
- 17:23Speaker 12: got to invest in the offensive line.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Now.
- 17:25Speaker 12: Doesn't mean you got to pick one of twelve, you know.
- 17:27Speaker 12: I'm kind of hoping for a trade back situation into
- 17:30Speaker 12: maybe the late teams eighteen, nineteen twenty somewhere around there,
- 17:34Speaker 12: maybe a Tyler Banks is available because I think we
- 17:36Speaker 12: have a need at right guard as well. I know
- 17:37Speaker 12: you're talking about left tackle, but I think right guard
- 17:40Speaker 12: is also a need. It's a big question mark for me,
- 17:42Speaker 12: So I'm cool with the scenario. Like I'm also cool
- 17:45Speaker 12: with picking like a Tech McMillan at twelve. I mean,
- 17:46Speaker 12: it just depends who falls. But you're right, dude, Like
- 17:48Speaker 12: whether they trade back or pick a guy unless they
- 17:50Speaker 12: just like really go off the wall and grab somebody
- 17:53Speaker 12: that's like, who the heck is that they really can't
- 17:56Speaker 12: mess this up. There's going to be a lot of
- 17:57Speaker 12: really good players. And I'm seeing mock drafts now where
- 17:59Speaker 12: like Matthew Golden's going in the top ten. So it's
- 18:02Speaker 12: changing up quite a bit here now compared to what
- 18:04Speaker 12: it was just a couple of weeks ago. So I'm
- 18:06Speaker 12: excited to see, you know, where this thing goes. And
- 18:08Speaker 12: I'm hoping that maybe, I don't know, if we can
- 18:10Speaker 12: do something with your show here where maybe the callers
- 18:13Speaker 12: can call in and maybe a couple of weeks and
- 18:15Speaker 12: we can do like a first round mock and to
- 18:17Speaker 12: see the Cowboys are going to take as far as
- 18:19Speaker 12: the fan perspective and get like our official our official
- 18:22Speaker 12: picks in and get it tally and like that's maybe
- 18:24Speaker 12: who the storyliners want for pick number one in the draft.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Yeah, we can discuss that, we can figure out how
- 18:30Speaker 3: to make that work the best way. But yeah, I
- 18:34Speaker 3: know that the Draft show does some of those kind
- 18:36Speaker 3: of things, but still, yeah, for you guys, that would
- 18:39Speaker 3: be awesome. We we'll figure out how to do that
- 18:41Speaker 3: the best way. You know, our show's on Wednesdays. The
- 18:44Speaker 3: drafts on Thursday, obviously, so that might be a great
- 18:49Speaker 3: show before the day before the draft. We'll figure out
- 18:53Speaker 3: how to be creative and do that where you guys
- 18:56Speaker 3: can be involved. So I love it.
- 18:58Speaker 12: Sweet sounds good man, Thanks.
- 19:00Speaker 3: Day, appreciate it. Thank you. Dylan in Northport, Florida. I
- 19:03Speaker 3: think the lines are open right now. Eight eight eight
- 19:05Speaker 3: eight five five two two nine seven is the number
- 19:09Speaker 3: to call. We was talking about the offensive line and
- 19:12Speaker 3: and and great players, you know, the you know, different positions.
- 19:15Speaker 3: We've talked about that with the other callers as well.
- 19:18Speaker 3: I mean, I know the Cowboys feel this way and
- 19:22Speaker 3: I'm and I'm fine with it as well. If if
- 19:24Speaker 3: the twelfth pick is an edge rusher, okay, I mean
- 19:30Speaker 3: that's that's great too. I mean, yes, you've got Micah,
- 19:32Speaker 3: and I think that the plan is to is to
- 19:34Speaker 3: keep them in and and trying to figure you know
- 19:37Speaker 3: this out, and contract negotiations continue with him. But but
- 19:41Speaker 3: I you know, if if if having another pass rusher
- 19:44Speaker 3: on the other side is the top you know, fifteen pick,
- 19:48Speaker 3: top twelve, whatever it is, yeah, I'd be I'd be
- 19:51Speaker 3: totally fine with that as long as it's somebody that
- 19:55Speaker 3: can I mean, obviously they should be able to rush
- 19:58Speaker 3: from both sides. I mean, you're not gonna be picked
- 20:00Speaker 3: in the first round if you can't get to the
- 20:02Speaker 3: quarterback and from different ways. But somebody that can understand
- 20:06Speaker 3: how to how to flip spots left side, right side,
- 20:09Speaker 3: maybe through the middle, because you know Mike is going
- 20:11Speaker 3: to do that and that's how Mike is effective. And
- 20:13Speaker 3: so when Mike is flipping from each side, then the
- 20:15Speaker 3: other guy's got to flip as well. So as long
- 20:17Speaker 3: as you've got a guy that can that can do that,
- 20:19Speaker 3: is comfortable playing all over the line, then that would
- 20:22Speaker 3: be exciting you know for me. I mean I that
- 20:26Speaker 3: that that would be a position that I think that
- 20:28Speaker 3: because that that can also help your team. Immediately we
- 20:31Speaker 3: saw that with Micah. Michah comes in he was able
- 20:34Speaker 3: to rush the way he did change that whole team.
- 20:37Speaker 3: And then when Dak went down uh in his rookie season,
- 20:40Speaker 3: that defense was was ready to go and carry Cooper
- 20:44Speaker 3: rushing that team until Dak got back and the defense
- 20:48Speaker 3: was great all year long. Instant impact. I'm not saying
- 20:51Speaker 3: Michaeh would be you know, there would be another Micah
- 20:54Speaker 3: and the strap that there could be I mean there
- 20:56Speaker 3: there could be teams didn't see Micah the way, uh
- 21:00Speaker 3: the way dan Quinn actually had a vision for him,
- 21:03Speaker 3: and so that that was really big. And so what
- 21:05Speaker 3: I'm saying is is pass rusher is another position that
- 21:07Speaker 3: can help your team instantly. There All right, Uh, Chris,
- 21:12Speaker 3: we don't We don't have another call, do we we do? Okay,
- 21:15Speaker 3: just give it to me blind. Then whoever we got
- 21:18Speaker 3: put them on the line. What's up?
- 21:22Speaker 4: What's up? Gavin? And Oklahoma? What's up?
- 21:24Speaker 10: Man?
- 21:24Speaker 3: How you doing? I needed like I needed four more
- 21:27Speaker 3: words than I would have. I would have nailed it.
- 21:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:30Speaker 3: Yeah, there's not a lot of people that sound exactly
- 21:33Speaker 3: like you. I would have got it, gat man.
- 21:35Speaker 4: What's up man? How you feeling?
- 21:37Speaker 3: I'm doing great? Get this computer restarted here? I Don'm
- 21:40Speaker 3: not getting the messages. What's up with you?
- 21:44Speaker 11: Well, I'm gonna tell you where I'm at with some
- 21:48Speaker 11: thoughts about where the Cowboys are at right now, and
- 21:51Speaker 11: then I'm gonna ask you a couple of quick questions.
- 21:52Speaker 11: So something tells me the Cowboys are done in free agency.
- 21:57Speaker 11: I think a lot of people get that impression Personally,
- 22:02Speaker 11: I'm happy that they were more active in free agency
- 22:05Speaker 11: this year and added some depths, but I don't think
- 22:07Speaker 11: I'm very comfortable with them not adding anymore before the draft.
- 22:11Speaker 11: I feel like they're setting themselves up, as they have
- 22:14Speaker 11: in the past that really had to knock this draft
- 22:17Speaker 11: out of the park, and even to be honest, even then,
- 22:20Speaker 11: I don't know that that would be enough to get
- 22:22Speaker 11: us to the ultimate goal. I do feel more optimistic
- 22:26Speaker 11: about this year, because I mean I felt like this
- 22:29Speaker 11: last year too. But I'm pleased with our superstars. I
- 22:32Speaker 11: think we have a great trio of superstars, and we
- 22:37Speaker 11: have a few stars mixed in as well, and that's great. However,
- 22:41Speaker 11: I feel like as fans, it gets frustrating when you
- 22:44Speaker 11: get the feeling that the Cowboys aren't doing everything they
- 22:49Speaker 11: possibly can to get to the super Bowl in a
- 22:52Speaker 11: given year. I feel like the front office really tries
- 22:55Speaker 11: to balance the present and the future, which is great.
- 23:00Speaker 11: Every team has to do that to an extent. However,
- 23:05Speaker 11: while you have CD in his prime, Michael and his prime,
- 23:08Speaker 11: while you have Dak Prescott under center, I really think
- 23:12Speaker 11: you have to take advantage of that. I think I
- 23:13Speaker 11: speak for Cowboys fans when I say, I would be
- 23:17Speaker 11: great if we made it to even just the championship
- 23:20Speaker 11: game and then had some years of rebuilding in the future.
- 23:23Speaker 11: I just truly think that the Cowboys need to go
- 23:29Speaker 11: all in on the present, as Jerry said last year.
- 23:33Speaker 11: So yeah, I say all that. I'm so sorry.
- 23:38Speaker 3: No, man, go ahead, I mean, you're you're right, You're right,
- 23:41Speaker 3: and I understand that that frustration. I actually do not
- 23:45Speaker 3: think they're done. I don't think that they're done yet.
- 23:48Speaker 11: That was gonna be my question to you. Do you
- 23:51Speaker 11: think they're done? And are you comfortable with where they're at?
- 23:54Speaker 11: Is what I was going to ask you.
- 23:56Speaker 3: No, I you know, it's hard to know exactly what
- 23:59Speaker 3: they can do money wise and things like that. I'm
- 24:01Speaker 3: sure they can, you know, still still work a few
- 24:05Speaker 3: things out. I think that there's got to be a
- 24:07Speaker 3: backup quarterback, but that that's not that's not something that
- 24:10Speaker 3: anybody's thinking of is going to help them as far
- 24:13Speaker 3: as you know, you don't. You don't expect dak To
- 24:16Speaker 3: to miss a bunch of time. And if so, it's
- 24:19Speaker 3: it's hard to think that you're gonna you're gonna be
- 24:21Speaker 3: you know, just the same or if not better. But
- 24:23Speaker 3: but you're thinking about players that can come right in
- 24:25Speaker 3: and help in the starting lineup, and I, yeah, I
- 24:29Speaker 3: still think that there's gonna be some a move made
- 24:34Speaker 3: at some point. I don't think that they're done. I
- 24:36Speaker 3: just don't think when you lose like Brandon Cooks who
- 24:38Speaker 3: signed with the with the Saints, but when you lose
- 24:41Speaker 3: Cooks and you have Tolbert coming back and then Turpin
- 24:46Speaker 3: with CD, I just don't think that Because if that's
- 24:49Speaker 3: the case, then I think you do have to draft
- 24:52Speaker 3: the receiver twelve or forty four or whatever. I think
- 24:55Speaker 3: you have to. Yeah, that's why I think that they'll
- 24:58Speaker 3: probably uh add a receiver. That's what I believe. I
- 25:03Speaker 3: think they are going to add a receiver at some point.
- 25:05Speaker 3: I don't know if it's going to be the one
- 25:07Speaker 3: that you know, you know that that you love the most,
- 25:09Speaker 3: or whatever whoever's out there could be a trade. I
- 25:13Speaker 3: just think that the Cowboys are going to add a
- 25:14Speaker 3: receiver or you know, another another splash player let me
- 25:19Speaker 3: put air quotes on Splash, but another maybe high profile players.
- 25:23Speaker 3: I know what you mean that you've heard of.
- 25:25Speaker 11: I mean, if they could add a corner and a
- 25:28Speaker 11: receiver that could come in and start. I would be
- 25:32Speaker 11: as static as far as heading into the draft, because
- 25:35Speaker 11: you still have needs, but you put yourself in a
- 25:37Speaker 11: place where if you do knock the draft out of
- 25:40Speaker 11: the park, you're in a good place to compete. Even
- 25:43Speaker 11: though this team is already competitive.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're competitive, but I mean last year
- 25:48Speaker 3: showed us that, you know, against the good teams, they
- 25:51Speaker 3: really they really didn't have it, you know, they they weren't.
- 25:56Speaker 11: That has always been a problem, even in the great years.
- 25:59Speaker 11: The injuries kicked us, you know, last year, but even
- 26:03Speaker 11: while they were healthy, it just didn't look like they
- 26:06Speaker 11: was going to be able to compete with the top
- 26:08Speaker 11: of the NFC.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Now they're not close to the Eagles right now, So.
- 26:12Speaker 4: Right that was a that's reality.
- 26:15Speaker 3: And you know, you got to face them twice. So yeah,
- 26:17Speaker 3: that's that's where they got to get better, for sure.
- 26:19Speaker 3: They got to be be able to be on that level.
- 26:22Speaker 11: So the last thing I'll say before I get off
- 26:24Speaker 11: here is I don't claim to be one of these
- 26:27Speaker 11: fans that knows what's going on in the front office
- 26:29Speaker 11: and between agents and people sign and I've really never
- 26:33Speaker 11: got the sense that Dak wanted to sign before he
- 26:35Speaker 11: signed the or CD. So I'm not ragging on the
- 26:38Speaker 11: front office when I say this, but something tells me
- 26:41Speaker 11: they could have had this mich A deal done. I
- 26:43Speaker 11: really feel like they're just hanging over a million or
- 26:47Speaker 11: two or a detail here or a detail there. Although
- 26:49Speaker 11: these things take time, I feel like if they could
- 26:51Speaker 11: just get him signed, maybe they could make that splash move.
- 26:54Speaker 11: I really would hate to see a player that Dallas
- 26:58Speaker 11: was interested in just just come off the board if
- 27:00Speaker 11: the interest was mutual. Because the negotiation took too long,
- 27:05Speaker 11: I'm not exactly sure what they are with finances on
- 27:07Speaker 11: making stuff happen. Maybe they couldn't make the move and
- 27:10Speaker 11: then sign Michael later.
- 27:11Speaker 4: And still feel good about it.
- 27:12Speaker 11: It's just I'm not sure about that. But I feel
- 27:16Speaker 11: like they really need to get that done.
- 27:18Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's all I'll say.
- 27:20Speaker 3: I'd like to get things for the call of Govin Yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 3: I'd like to see that that deal done as well.
- 27:27Speaker 4: You know, you.
- 27:29Speaker 3: Said some things about DAK and CD maybe not really
- 27:34Speaker 3: wanted to get that deal done. I mean, I think
- 27:36Speaker 3: what you're on your understanding, not everyone does this because
- 27:40Speaker 3: because people don't, you know, it's easy to blame Jerry
- 27:42Speaker 3: and Steven and not necessarily the players or their agents
- 27:46Speaker 3: forget that part, and that that happens a lot. The
- 27:51Speaker 3: player is tired of it too. The player wants to
- 27:54Speaker 3: get the deal done. The player is not necessarily concerned
- 27:58Speaker 3: with as much with what this means to the other receivers,
- 28:03Speaker 3: the other quarterbacks, the other pass rushers, whatever. There's a
- 28:06Speaker 3: game that's played there that you know, everyone kind of
- 28:10Speaker 3: works together and keep these prices moving up and all
- 28:13Speaker 3: that stuff. The player kind of gets to the point,
- 28:14Speaker 3: like a sub ready, get in here, I'm missing work
- 28:16Speaker 3: and all that. The agent a lot of times is
- 28:19Speaker 3: like the one that's the supposed to be the responsible
- 28:23Speaker 3: one of it, but it's also driving the price up
- 28:25Speaker 3: here is as no, no, no, let's you know, let's
- 28:27Speaker 3: let's do the right thing. Let's keep this thing going.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Let's don't cave all that all that stuff. So I
- 28:32Speaker 3: think that's what's happened in those first two cases, and
- 28:36Speaker 3: I believe that's what's happening also with Michael two. The
- 28:38Speaker 3: agent's doing his job like it or not, I mean,
- 28:42Speaker 3: and that's that's kind of what's happened here. So I
- 28:45Speaker 3: think that from what I hear that's that's partly what's
- 28:48Speaker 3: what's happening. I think there were some reports that the
- 28:52Speaker 3: deal was close, and from my understanding, i've heard that
- 28:56Speaker 3: it was. I don't know if it is right now.
- 28:58Speaker 3: So that's part of negotiations. I mean, it's back and
- 29:00Speaker 3: forth and up and down, and we'll figure it out.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Cowboys aren't really that concerned. They'll they'll, you know, they'll
- 29:07Speaker 3: put the franchise tag on Mike if they need to,
- 29:09Speaker 3: and I can let them go. So they'll put the
- 29:11Speaker 3: tag on them and we'll see, you know, in my
- 29:14Speaker 3: And some of this is on Micah too, because Michaeh
- 29:16Speaker 3: talks a lot. When you talk a lot, you say
- 29:19Speaker 3: things and people don't forget it. And when when you say, oh,
- 29:23Speaker 3: I want to you know, I don't need this month,
- 29:25Speaker 3: this amount or this or I don't want to get
- 29:26Speaker 3: the deal done and all that, and then it doesn't happen.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Then it comes back to you and said, what's what's
- 29:31Speaker 3: the deal. So anyways, I think the Cowboys would like
- 29:34Speaker 3: to get it done. Obviously, I think Micah does as well.
- 29:37Speaker 3: But it's got to work for everyone, and that's why
- 29:39Speaker 3: it's taken the time that it's taken Ali and Florida's next. Ali.
- 29:44Speaker 3: What's up?
- 29:45Speaker 4: Good morning, sir, Good morning.
- 29:46Speaker 3: How are you pretty good?
- 29:48Speaker 4: Buddy? How about you good?
- 29:50Speaker 13: Okay, So coupling draft, see almost a month away and
- 29:57Speaker 13: everybody has a mock draft. I totally agree with you.
- 30:01Speaker 13: Offensive line is the must. But I heard I was
- 30:06Speaker 13: in the group that one of the persons connected to
- 30:12Speaker 13: front office and this guy is legit. I can give
- 30:17Speaker 13: you his name off the off the line, but according
- 30:21Speaker 13: to him, he says, Cowboys gonna do everything possible to
- 30:31Speaker 13: draft gently, gently because they view him as Emmetta Smith.
- 30:38Speaker 13: I'm gonna take your opinion and get off the line.
- 30:42Speaker 4: Thank you, buddy.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Okay, I think from a prospect standpoint, yeah, I could.
- 30:50Speaker 3: I could see a lot of the Emmett Smith's stuff there.
- 30:54Speaker 3: He's more of a home run hitter than Emmitt h
- 30:58Speaker 3: or at least that's what it appears, because you know,
- 31:01Speaker 3: even even when emmittt was playing in in the late eighties,
- 31:06Speaker 3: the SEC was still you know, really good good football,
- 31:11Speaker 3: and he was playing against that competition astroon genty playing
- 31:15Speaker 3: in the in the Mountain West. You know, you break
- 31:17Speaker 3: a few more, you know, big runs. But but I
- 31:20Speaker 3: still think he's got that speed to do that, a
- 31:23Speaker 3: little bit more of a home run hitter than But
- 31:26Speaker 3: but as far as just how kind of compact they
- 31:28Speaker 3: are and how they don't really get hit a lot,
- 31:32Speaker 3: just kind of the way that they're able to to
- 31:34Speaker 3: maneuver their their body and and and get those runs.
- 31:37Speaker 3: And you know, a four yard run can turn into
- 31:40Speaker 3: an eight yard run, and and and a in a
- 31:43Speaker 3: zero yard gain can be a three yard run. Uh.
- 31:47Speaker 3: It's that type of shiftiness that that makes them so
- 31:51Speaker 3: clever in the way that they could run and pick
- 31:53Speaker 3: up extra yards.
- 31:54Speaker 4: Uh.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Obviously that's the key to everything. You know, you guys
- 31:57Speaker 3: know that second nine you get a draw and it
- 32:00Speaker 3: looks like your stuff and not next thing, you know,
- 32:01Speaker 3: you kind of slip through and get five yards there,
- 32:04Speaker 3: and it's third and four. It changes everything changes, the
- 32:07Speaker 3: personnel changes what you want to do. It might change
- 32:10Speaker 3: if it's four down territory. So those extra yards and
- 32:13Speaker 3: I'm not telling you guys nothing you don't already know,
- 32:15Speaker 3: but those type of runners, that's what made Emmett so
- 32:19Speaker 3: good because he on second down, he could get a
- 32:23Speaker 3: run that would put him in third and one and
- 32:25Speaker 3: third and two and with Stebnowski and Nate two and
- 32:29Speaker 3: a and Eric Williams and Daryl Johnston and EMMITTT. Smith,
- 32:33Speaker 3: like you're getting it, third and one, third and two
- 32:36Speaker 3: you you're gonna get it. So that's the type of
- 32:39Speaker 3: runner that I think Ashton genty can be. And then
- 32:42Speaker 3: you put in a fact that he can go sixty
- 32:45Speaker 3: seventy yards. That's pretty impressive there as well. All right,
- 32:48Speaker 3: let's go to break here real quick on Cowboys sort.
- 32:51Speaker 3: I know you have a couple of callers on the line.
- 32:52Speaker 3: Let me get we get a break, and then we'll

- 35:01Speaker 3: Tamarra in Iowa is next, Tamra. What's up?
- 35:05Speaker 9: Hi?
- 35:07Speaker 17: Hey? You? So I do have something to say. So
- 35:12Speaker 17: I'm trying to get my eis on hold for a
- 35:15Speaker 17: really long time sometime to get it back to together here.
- 35:20Speaker 17: So you said something earlier, Yes, yes, I know. I'm
- 35:29Speaker 17: trying to think about it. Oh okay, So okay. A
- 35:33Speaker 17: couple of things. So so, so I'm gonna lead with
- 35:37Speaker 17: something different. I usually leave with serious and then I
- 35:39Speaker 17: go with uh. I leave with serious, and then I
- 35:41Speaker 17: go with fun. I'm gonna leave with fun.
- 35:44Speaker 9: Uh.
- 35:44Speaker 17: So way back when used to say who our favorite
- 35:47Speaker 17: player is Tony Tony Romo, so I so I would
- 35:53Speaker 17: me and my husband we had the hall pass on
- 35:57Speaker 17: friends and I said, if I ever get with anybody
- 36:01Speaker 17: that I've never ever got to meet ever in the world,
- 36:04Speaker 17: it's going to be Tony Romo. And that is and
- 36:08Speaker 17: so he was a really good player. And here's the
- 36:10Speaker 17: other thing. Then, I don't know if this is real
- 36:14Speaker 17: or not real, and I'd like you to try to
- 36:16Speaker 17: confirm it if you can. And that's my second thing
- 36:19Speaker 17: about Romo. So he went to Denver, had the worst
- 36:23Speaker 17: game of his life, broke his He broke a whole
- 36:27Speaker 17: bunch of bones out of his body. And they said,
- 36:31Speaker 17: though later on, somebody said that they broke down on
- 36:36Speaker 17: the road and Tony Romo came over and like fixed
- 36:40Speaker 17: their flat tire. And I don't know if that really
- 36:43Speaker 17: happened or didn't happen. I'd like you to confirm that.
- 36:46Speaker 17: And then the other thing that I'd like to say
- 36:49Speaker 17: that's not so fun, like I usually le was not
- 36:52Speaker 17: fun and end fun, going opposite. So I'd like to
- 36:56Speaker 17: know what you think about what we've done in the
- 36:58Speaker 17: off season. And I don't really I don't pay that
- 37:02Speaker 17: much attention, like I listen. I mean I do, Okay,
- 37:05Speaker 17: if I'm lying, I pay a lot of attention. But
- 37:08Speaker 17: also I don't know these guys, and I don't know
- 37:11Speaker 17: how good they are the draft players they get. I
- 37:15Speaker 17: don't know. But i'd like to hear what you say
- 37:19Speaker 17: when I listen to all the other podcasts as well,
- 37:22Speaker 17: by the way, so it's not just you. You're my
- 37:25Speaker 17: favorite for sure, but I listen to everybody else too,
- 37:29Speaker 17: and I yeah, and I am paying a lot more.
- 37:32Speaker 17: I know, I seem like I don't because I like
- 37:34Speaker 17: to kind of play it off like I'm like, I'm
- 37:36Speaker 17: just out here being a crazy girl, and I am
- 37:40Speaker 17: a crazy girl. But also I pay a lot of it.
- 37:43Speaker 17: Like I think you probably know I pay a lot
- 37:46Speaker 17: more attention than I maybe seem like I do.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Well, yeah, if you're calling this show, I think people
- 37:51Speaker 3: pay attention. I think you're I think the people that
- 37:54Speaker 3: call the show and interact with it, they know what's
- 37:56Speaker 3: going on, and they want to be as much as.
- 38:02Speaker 18: Well.
- 38:02Speaker 17: And I love Rob, Rob, I know, you get mad,
- 38:05Speaker 17: and so that's what I worry about because a lot
- 38:07Speaker 17: of times whatever Rob says is what I agree. And
- 38:11Speaker 17: I'm like, oh, Nick, Rob that much.
- 38:13Speaker 3: I love Rob, I love I love.
- 38:18Speaker 17: I love him.
- 38:21Speaker 3: All right, all right, sounds good, all right, Damn, have
- 38:24Speaker 3: a good thanks for the call, have a great day.
- 38:28Speaker 3: And she loves Rob, so for sure I did too.
- 38:31Speaker 3: He's he makes the show what it is and one
- 38:34Speaker 3: of the people that that makes. But also he brings,
- 38:38Speaker 3: you know, brings the heat and that's that's good. Sometimes
- 38:40Speaker 3: it gets cold and then he got to bring the
- 38:42Speaker 3: heat and uh, and he does that and he does
- 38:46Speaker 3: a good job. Not today, haven't heard from him today,
- 38:49Speaker 3: but no, he But that's for the Romo on the side.
- 38:53Speaker 3: I don't know Romo's history of that of fixing flat
- 38:58Speaker 3: tires and helping people and all that. I'll say this,
- 39:05Speaker 3: I do another story that I do know of his.
- 39:09Speaker 3: They we had a receiver here named Kevin Ogletree who
- 39:14Speaker 3: just for some reason decided for two years not to
- 39:16Speaker 3: get his license renewed and just didn't think that he
- 39:20Speaker 3: needed to do it, and then he got pulled over
- 39:22Speaker 3: and his license wasn't you know, has been like two years,
- 39:25Speaker 3: and so he gets arrested, he gets sent to jail,
- 39:29Speaker 3: and uh who goes and and uh and bails him
- 39:31Speaker 3: out Tony Romo. I mean, he needed him for practice,
- 39:34Speaker 3: he needed him, he needed him out there. So Tony
- 39:36Speaker 3: Romo is the one that actually went up to the
- 39:38Speaker 3: courthouse and got him, you know, bailed out and all
- 39:41Speaker 3: that stuff. I'm sure I don't know how much it was,
- 39:43Speaker 3: but you know it was Romo's. That story is true.
- 39:45Speaker 3: So I don't know about changing the flat tire and
- 39:47Speaker 3: all that stuff, but he did that. He also left
- 39:53Speaker 3: his girlfriend on the side of the road one time,
- 39:55Speaker 3: who I think when they broke up. But that's another story.
- 39:57Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to Robbie and Koco Beach, Florida.
- 40:00Speaker 9: Robbie, been a minute.
- 40:02Speaker 4: Nick, How you doing?
- 40:05Speaker 17: Uh?
- 40:06Speaker 8: Mostly good.
- 40:06Speaker 10: We had a death in the family.
- 40:07Speaker 19: That's I haven't been.
- 40:08Speaker 10: On very much last week.
- 40:10Speaker 3: I'm sorry to hear that.
- 40:14Speaker 10: It was a little hard on my kids. It was
- 40:16Speaker 10: Grandpa and you know, I hope you don't know, but
- 40:20Speaker 10: you will someday. It was rough on the little ones,
- 40:23Speaker 10: for sure. And I appreciate you. Yeah, but we're here
- 40:28Speaker 10: to talk Cowboys man, for sure.
- 40:32Speaker 9: For sure.
- 40:32Speaker 10: Right, let's hear it.
- 40:34Speaker 3: What do you get for us?
- 40:35Speaker 10: I'm the half full glass. I'm the glass is always
- 40:37Speaker 10: half full. I'm the optimist always. I love my team.
- 40:40Speaker 10: I'm not gonna be mad and stop my feet and go.
- 40:44Speaker 10: I'm never watching another game like some of these people do.
- 40:47Speaker 10: I'm not that guy.
- 40:48Speaker 9: I know what I like.
- 40:49Speaker 10: I feel sorry for myself that I'm a Cowboys fan sometimes,
- 40:52Speaker 10: but I'm a fan. I'll always watch call in and
- 40:55Speaker 10: talkers my team. I feel like they have kind of
- 41:00Speaker 10: a blacked off man. I see some of the trades
- 41:06Speaker 10: they've done and some of the old villain of free agency.
- 41:09Speaker 10: But how are we supposed to compete with the Eagles
- 41:11Speaker 10: and these other top teams? Man, it just seems like
- 41:14Speaker 10: we're not doing enough. It frustrates me.
- 41:18Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 41:19Speaker 10: I mean, we're gonna have to have a super draft
- 41:21Speaker 10: to be able to compete with them.
- 41:23Speaker 9: Don't you think.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Definitely need to have a super draft. I mean to
- 41:27Speaker 3: compete with with a lot of teams, any team. Yeah,
- 41:31Speaker 3: And I mean you it sucks when the Super Bowl
- 41:34Speaker 3: champion is in your division, and then the team they
- 41:36Speaker 3: beat to get there is also in your division and
- 41:38Speaker 3: they're getting better too, and they have a lot of
- 41:40Speaker 3: money to play with. So yeah, it's a it's a
- 41:43Speaker 3: that's a tough that's a tough situation. I mean, you
- 41:46Speaker 3: know that that they're in. But I think I just
- 41:50Speaker 3: think it's the fans don't necessarily understand. To me some
- 41:54Speaker 3: sometimes when it comes to the Southard Cap, I feel
- 41:57Speaker 3: fans are like kids and teenage of like they don't
- 42:01Speaker 3: know how much money their parents have. They just they
- 42:04Speaker 3: see their house in their car and they're like, we
- 42:05Speaker 3: got money, why can't we get this, this, this, and this,
- 42:08Speaker 3: when in reality they just don't have it. They don't
- 42:11Speaker 3: have it. And yes you can, you can move around
- 42:14Speaker 3: and all that. Just like you right now, you could
- 42:16Speaker 3: go buy a car if you wanted to, You could
- 42:18Speaker 3: buy another car. Do you want to? What's it gonna
- 42:22Speaker 3: take to get there? And do you need it to?
- 42:24Speaker 4: Yeah, you can do.
- 42:26Speaker 3: It, but that but in the long run, that's not
- 42:28Speaker 3: a good idea. So to say they could do this,
- 42:30Speaker 3: this and this, and the reality is is they they
- 42:34Speaker 3: don't necessarily want to do that because that A don't
- 42:37Speaker 3: think it's worth it and b it's gonna really mess
- 42:41Speaker 3: them up down the road even more so. You know,
- 42:45Speaker 3: I I like what they've done in free agency. I
- 42:47Speaker 3: think they've done almost as much as they can do.
- 42:50Speaker 3: I don't think that they're finished yet. I really don't.
- 42:53Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be some more, some more moves.
- 42:56Speaker 10: And I'm not saying I hate the team, man, I
- 42:59Speaker 10: just know I wish they done a little maybe something different.
- 43:02Speaker 10: I mean, I like I like the oh my god,
- 43:06Speaker 10: the defensive end Falor. Glad that we got Valor back.
- 43:09Speaker 10: I think he's a good fit. I'm glad we re
- 43:12Speaker 10: signed ohso Diggie Zua. He's pretty dang awesome. I think
- 43:17Speaker 10: I hope they signed Mica and get that done so
- 43:19Speaker 10: we maybe have a little bit of money to play with.
- 43:22Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, I wish a little more.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. But you know, I I think
- 43:31Speaker 3: for for the guys that they've lost, the guys that
- 43:34Speaker 3: they've brought in, you know, I like that. I like
- 43:37Speaker 3: the runners that they brought in more than the runners
- 43:40Speaker 3: that they lost, you know, like Rico, but I like
- 43:45Speaker 3: Deonte Williams. I think it's a good back.
- 43:46Speaker 4: Now.
- 43:47Speaker 10: You said something great about about Rico. Last year you
- 43:50Speaker 10: said he's a great number two. I agreed with that
- 43:53Speaker 10: since you said it.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they wanted to bring him back
- 43:57Speaker 3: in that role. But I don't, you know, I don't
- 43:59Speaker 3: think where do you go, Denver?
- 44:01Speaker 4: No, I don't even know.
- 44:02Speaker 3: I don't even know either Carolina Carolina.
- 44:05Speaker 10: Carolina new Beam would know. He's so smart.
- 44:08Speaker 3: He knows everything he does, he does, he knows everything.
- 44:11Speaker 3: I mean, that's not a joke. He knows everything, knows
- 44:14Speaker 3: a lot about a lot. So it's it's it's awesome.
- 44:17Speaker 10: Yeah, all right, hey man, all right, hey have fun
- 44:20Speaker 10: at the baseball game.
- 44:21Speaker 18: Appreciate it being told me all about it.
- 44:23Speaker 10: You guys have a last man.
- 44:25Speaker 3: Okay, thank you? Uh, I mean you just like throwing
- 44:30Speaker 3: all our stuff out there. No Thursdays, we do have
- 44:33Speaker 3: a work event at the at the Rangers Red Sox
- 44:35Speaker 3: opening Day. Say it's a work event, it'd be a
- 44:38Speaker 3: little retreat for us. That's probably why I'm sure they
- 44:41Speaker 3: need to throw that out there. Some of the shows,
- 44:43Speaker 3: all the shows except for one, will not be on tomorrow,
- 44:47Speaker 3: so we're making some schedule changes there. So see what happens.
- 44:51Speaker 3: Rangers in Red Sox Opening day, a lot of sports
- 44:55Speaker 3: activity happening. There is still March madness, and if your
- 44:58Speaker 3: team is still in it, you know, you chance to
- 45:02Speaker 3: cheer them on as well. All right, Michael in Boyling Green, Kentucky. Michael,
- 45:07Speaker 3: what's up?
- 45:09Speaker 8: Well, the tar Hills went out in the first round,
- 45:11Speaker 8: So mine'st Yeah.
- 45:13Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, you know that they won,
- 45:15Speaker 3: they won a game, they showed that they belonged. Yeah,
- 45:20Speaker 3: I thought I thought, you know, I think it's it's
- 45:22Speaker 3: kind of funny they don't belong, they don't belong. Then
- 45:24Speaker 3: they win by forty you know.
- 45:25Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, that's true. That's true. I didn't think they'd
- 45:28Speaker 8: make it, and then I saw they getting played in
- 45:29Speaker 8: game and did good. But yeah, you're a good point.
- 45:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 45:32Speaker 8: Hey man, Uh the other day I was listening and
- 45:36Speaker 8: you were talking about your daughter's birthday. Yes, yeah, my
- 45:39Speaker 8: daughter's birthday was that day too. We were actually going
- 45:43Speaker 8: we were taking we were going to the Louisville Zoo
- 45:45Speaker 8: and I was like, well it though, all right, yeah,
- 45:48Speaker 8: same day. I'm just excited I got through. I mean
- 45:52Speaker 8: I didn't call five hundred times, but I called like
- 45:55Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty. I haven't been able to get through.
- 45:57Speaker 8: Uh I uh, I just want to say, you know
- 46:01Speaker 8: that I'm falling into the trap again. I see these
- 46:05Speaker 8: moves that they're making and and I've been listening to
- 46:08Speaker 8: some Dallas Cowboys mock drafts, and uh, I don't know,
- 46:13Speaker 8: I just like what I'm seeing. I figure Jerry Jones
- 46:16Speaker 8: was the executive of the years several I don't remember
- 46:19Speaker 8: how many years ago it was, but it wasn't a
- 46:21Speaker 8: long time ago.
- 46:22Speaker 7: I don't.
- 46:23Speaker 8: I don't think he's forgot how to do that. So
- 46:26Speaker 8: and all the money he's made in his businesses, so
- 46:30Speaker 8: I mean, I think he still knows what he's doing.
- 46:32Speaker 8: I mean, we might not all like it, but I'm
- 46:35Speaker 8: I'm there, I'm I'm I'm starting to fall in again.
- 46:40Speaker 3: It's this, it's the circle, and that's what happens. It's
- 46:43Speaker 3: this vicious cycle that just happens. And you're just like, no,
- 46:47Speaker 3: I hate football, I hate everyone, I don't want to
- 46:49Speaker 3: watch sports again. And then the next thing, you know,
- 46:51Speaker 3: you're just like, in the sixth round, we can get this,
- 46:55Speaker 3: this and this, and yeah, you're in. That's what happens.
- 46:57Speaker 3: I'm the same way.
- 46:59Speaker 7: I love.
- 46:59Speaker 3: That's what sport is it sucks as weekend Sports is
- 47:02Speaker 3: the vacuum cleaner, right, just sucks for me in all
- 47:05Speaker 3: the time.
- 47:06Speaker 6: Hey, one quick question.
- 47:07Speaker 8: I'll let you go so you can get some more callers.
- 47:09Speaker 8: Have you done the All Storyline Team?
- 47:11Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 47:12Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we did it last week. It was great.
- 47:14Speaker 3: I don't think you made it, but it was great. Kidding.
- 47:17Speaker 3: We have not done it yet. We have not done it, but.
- 47:19Speaker 20: I think I thought.
- 47:21Speaker 8: I mean, I've listened to all of them that I
- 47:22Speaker 8: was pretty.
- 47:24Speaker 3: We're there, We're getting there. I had the piece of
- 47:26Speaker 3: paper on Friday. I was giving it to Chris and
- 47:30Speaker 3: he looked at it and he was like, no, no, no,
- 47:33Speaker 3: out out, get him off there, get her out of there.
- 47:36Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. We had a good we had a
- 47:38Speaker 3: good little discussion about that. We're getting close. I just
- 47:41Speaker 3: got to add another show. I want to add a
- 47:43Speaker 3: second show for the week. Uh, just just to do that.
- 47:47Speaker 3: So I'm trying to figure out the best timing for
- 47:49Speaker 3: all that. We'll see, we'll see when when when that
- 47:53Speaker 3: goes in, but maybe maybe in a couple of weeks.
- 47:56Speaker 3: But yep, you should have a spot somewhere on it.
- 48:00Speaker 13: By right man.
- 48:01Speaker 8: Hey, Yeah, y'all have a good one. I'm glad you've
- 48:03Speaker 8: got so many callers that it takes one hundred and
- 48:06Speaker 8: fifty or even five hundred calls to get through. Love
- 48:09Speaker 8: the show, Number one Show Home Cowboys.
- 48:12Speaker 3: To me, I appreciate it.
- 48:14Speaker 8: Thank you so much, thank you.
- 48:17Speaker 3: Thank you. I mean the patience. I mean, if I
- 48:20Speaker 3: call something three times in a row and if it's
- 48:22Speaker 3: busy and all that I come, it's just not in
- 48:25Speaker 3: the cards. So the fact that you guys do that,
- 48:28Speaker 3: like that's that's something that I don't know if I
- 48:30Speaker 3: could do. And I appreciate that, Like that's what makes
- 48:33Speaker 3: the show. So I love the fact that we do that.
- 48:37Speaker 3: And so I say that to all the people that
- 48:39Speaker 3: are calling right now or that called early, you know
- 48:42Speaker 3: you might have to. If you're calling and calling and
- 48:44Speaker 3: calling and you can't get through, then you're not listening
- 48:45Speaker 3: to the show. So if you go back and you
- 48:47Speaker 3: listen later, I appreciate that. If if you've called in
- 48:50Speaker 3: today and you didn't make it, this is for you.
- 48:53Speaker 3: I really appreciate that that dedication and that the fact
- 48:56Speaker 3: that you want to be a part of it, that
- 48:58Speaker 3: means everything to us. So thank you so much. Let's
- 49:02Speaker 3: go to Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma. Lewis, what's up, man,
- 49:04Speaker 3: It's been a little bit.
- 49:07Speaker 21: Not much, man, just you know, sitting at work listening
- 49:09Speaker 21: to the show. Most of the time. I can't, like
- 49:12Speaker 21: you said, I can't get in.
- 49:13Speaker 3: I usually just let don't get in trouble. Just don't
- 49:16Speaker 3: get don't get in trouble. But you know, but got
- 49:19Speaker 3: those headphones on.
- 49:21Speaker 18: He man, you know, just trying to make it.
- 49:24Speaker 21: You know, Thank god, it's almost summertime spring. I guess
- 49:27Speaker 21: if you want to call it, because I was getting
- 49:29Speaker 21: tired of wearing a thousand clothes and being I felt
- 49:31Speaker 21: like a dagon bear in the cold every other day.
- 49:35Speaker 21: So I'm okay with the I'm okay with the sun
- 49:38Speaker 21: coming out now.
- 49:40Speaker 9: Man.
- 49:40Speaker 21: I just was calling, man because I hadn't. I've been
- 49:42Speaker 21: kind of watching the free agency and the coaching stuff.
- 49:45Speaker 21: And last of my called, I was appreciative, appreciative of
- 49:48Speaker 21: the coaching staff that they put together.
- 49:50Speaker 18: This time, I'm.
- 49:51Speaker 21: Appreciative of the uh free agency.
- 49:54Speaker 9: Guiden.
- 49:55Speaker 21: Now, I'm like most people, I want them to get
- 49:57Speaker 21: like this big name free agent and stuff like that.
- 50:00Speaker 21: But like you said, like to be honest, technically, I
- 50:03Speaker 21: guess Olsu would be their big name free agent that
- 50:05Speaker 21: they fought back, So I'm cool with that. I hate
- 50:08Speaker 21: that we lost Jordan Lewis, but I mean, if they're
- 50:11Speaker 21: not willing to pay that kind of money, we just
- 50:13Speaker 21: gonna have to find somebody to fill the road. But
- 50:15Speaker 21: I mean, there's only one Jeordan Lewis's so hey, it
- 50:20Speaker 21: is what it is.
- 50:20Speaker 20: That's part of the game.
- 50:22Speaker 21: But if I had to throw my hat in the wing,
- 50:24Speaker 21: and I really would like them to bring in another receiver,
- 50:28Speaker 21: I mean, somebody. I mean, like I think Lockett's out there.
- 50:33Speaker 21: I was hoping they bring in Digs, but apparently we
- 50:36Speaker 21: wasn't in the market for that neither, because between the
- 50:38Speaker 21: ACL tear and the money he got from the Patriots,
- 50:41Speaker 21: I don't think we were even close to.
- 50:42Speaker 18: Being in that market.
- 50:44Speaker 21: And so, like I said, I hope they will bring
- 50:48Speaker 21: in a big name receiver or at least a veteran
- 50:51Speaker 21: receiver that would help out and then you know, draft
- 50:54Speaker 21: you a receiver, maybe another old lineman or so I
- 50:57Speaker 21: would be okay if they bring in another old lineman,
- 51:00Speaker 21: and you know you can you can never get too
- 51:03Speaker 21: many defensive line and bring in as many as you
- 51:06Speaker 21: can at this point because if we got to stop
- 51:08Speaker 21: the run, like they say, just bringing me until you
- 51:11Speaker 21: find one to see it. Yeah, and I'll be okay
- 51:13Speaker 21: with that, but I ain't can hold you too long.
- 51:16Speaker 21: And you know, I don't want to say I always
- 51:19Speaker 21: want everybody else to get in. So I'll talk to
- 51:21Speaker 21: you when I talk to you.
- 51:21Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Leuis appreciate that.
- 51:23Speaker 4: Uh.
- 51:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I could see I could see some
- 51:27Speaker 3: other positions that you know, you'd like to show up
- 51:30Speaker 3: even more, like like slot corner, backup quarterback, maybe another
- 51:36Speaker 3: pass rusher or or defensive tackle, maybe a big defensive
- 51:40Speaker 3: tackle one technique. I don't I mean, they're not sitting
- 51:42Speaker 3: out there on trees, so I understand that, but you know,
- 51:47Speaker 3: I still think that that there's there's moves that could
- 51:50Speaker 3: be made. Uh And a lot of times you get
- 51:52Speaker 3: to the point now where I mean we're still a
- 51:54Speaker 3: month away, so we're not at that point. Yeah, there's
- 51:58Speaker 3: still some things that can happen, but you probably two
- 52:01Speaker 3: weeks away from the draft, then you really don't want
- 52:05Speaker 3: to do anything. A lot of teams were slows down
- 52:07Speaker 3: because why why wait till after the draft at that point,
- 52:11Speaker 3: So then it'll it'll pick back up again a little
- 52:14Speaker 3: bit of like, all right, now what do we need
- 52:16Speaker 3: after free after the draft and rookie free agents? Now,
- 52:19Speaker 3: what what do we need for our team? And so
- 52:22Speaker 3: I think you still got another two weeks or so
- 52:26Speaker 3: until that that period. Then it slows down draft After
- 52:29Speaker 3: that you might see some more that happens here. All right,
- 52:32Speaker 3: let's go to Robin Vegas. Rob, what's up man?
- 52:35Speaker 7: Hey?
- 52:35Speaker 8: Nick?
- 52:35Speaker 19: How's everything good?
- 52:37Speaker 3: You had some fans on the show, other callers talking
- 52:40Speaker 3: about you, saying how much that they love you and uh,
- 52:43Speaker 3: and I said, all right, well, we haven't heard from
- 52:45Speaker 3: them yet. And then what do you know, Boom?
- 52:47Speaker 19: I love I love with my ex girlfriend Cloveland. It's
- 52:50Speaker 19: it's awesome that we Wow. I appreciate it.
- 52:53Speaker 3: I don't know, are we are? Is this the thing?
- 52:56Speaker 3: I don't know if we want to go down this road.
- 52:58Speaker 19: But honestly, I don't think I've never been to that
- 53:00Speaker 19: part of the country, so it's probably impossible.
- 53:04Speaker 3: Probably impossible, you never know. Let's leave it at.
- 53:08Speaker 4: That, right, what right?
- 53:09Speaker 3: What do we what do we got?
- 53:12Speaker 19: So you know we're talking about the free agency. I
- 53:15Speaker 19: was going to ask you, what if what grade. Would
- 53:18Speaker 19: you give.
- 53:18Speaker 4: Them M.
- 53:24Speaker 3: Overall just overall great a free agency offseason, I'd say
- 53:31Speaker 3: a B B minus would kinda be minus.
- 53:36Speaker 19: You're generous. Yeah, I have them matter C minus and
- 53:40Speaker 19: it's because they brought in a lot of guys, but
- 53:44Speaker 19: they I don't think they brought in enough players.
- 53:47Speaker 4: You know.
- 53:48Speaker 19: I like Dante Fowler and I like the two linebackers,
- 53:51Speaker 19: but they didn't address number two wide receiver spot, which
- 53:57Speaker 19: I think. I think they have to be the dress
- 54:00Speaker 19: that before the draft and cornerbacks. Give me one of them.
- 54:05Speaker 19: I would love for them to go sign Keenan Allen.
- 54:08Speaker 19: Every time I watch this guy play, I don't even
- 54:10Speaker 19: know how old he is, but he still makes plays.
- 54:14Speaker 19: He's still really good, and he is a big body
- 54:18Speaker 19: guy that we don't have. And I just think, you know,
- 54:23Speaker 19: we wide receiver is one of those positions that when
- 54:25Speaker 19: you draft, for some reason, they struggle a lot of times. Yeah,
- 54:31Speaker 19: So I think they have to dress cornerback or white
- 54:36Speaker 19: or the second wide receiver spot before the draft to
- 54:40Speaker 19: have any chance of Like the other caller said, to
- 54:43Speaker 19: compete against Philadelphia because seven we got what how many
- 54:51Speaker 19: draft picks we're going to have this year? I don't know,
- 54:53Speaker 19: lucky you get three starters. If you get three starters,
- 54:58Speaker 19: that's like amazing, And I want him to draft best available.
- 55:04Speaker 19: It's worked out really good for them, you know, CD Micah,
- 55:07Speaker 19: and honestly, you can't mess it up. There's not one
- 55:12Speaker 19: guy that they could draft who's the best player that
- 55:14Speaker 19: can't come onto this team and start and make it
- 55:17Speaker 19: better because they have so many holes. I totally agree
- 55:22Speaker 19: with the outfitsive line. But I don't think they will
- 55:25Speaker 19: draft a left tackle because I don't think they'll admit
- 55:30Speaker 19: that they maybe made a mistake on guiding yet and
- 55:32Speaker 19: maybe they haven't, who knows, but that is the position
- 55:37Speaker 19: that worries me, you know. But I just think I
- 55:41Speaker 19: don't see them putting him on the shelf. I think
- 55:43Speaker 19: they're going to ride it out with him and you know,
- 55:47Speaker 19: see what happens, and just hopefully he hits the gym.
- 55:50Speaker 19: But right now, I and then the micro thing, the
- 55:54Speaker 19: reason why they're in no hurry to sign Michael for
- 55:56Speaker 19: whatever reason, they don't mind overpaying. They've proven that. And
- 56:01Speaker 19: if they were to sign mic and let's say tomorrow,
- 56:03Speaker 19: I think they say like ten to fifty million dollars,
- 56:06Speaker 19: But what's the point if they're not going to spend it.
- 56:08Speaker 19: I think right now they got over forty million available,
- 56:11Speaker 19: closer to fifty and they're going to carry over a
- 56:15Speaker 19: bunch of money the next year. That's what they like
- 56:18Speaker 19: to do. So I think they say themselves that we'll
- 56:21Speaker 19: get Michael done. They'll probably get them done in the
- 56:22Speaker 19: summer like they always do in training camp.
- 56:25Speaker 3: Just so you know, Rob that whatever you're seeing about
- 56:29Speaker 3: money available, I would it's always about twenty five million,
- 56:33Speaker 3: is what this with the Cowboys and what most teams
- 56:36Speaker 3: take that they need to actually run the season with injury,
- 56:41Speaker 3: you know, with the with the you know, ir with
- 56:45Speaker 3: the practice squad and elevations, stuff like that. You need
- 56:49Speaker 3: about twenty two to twenty five million for that. So
- 56:52Speaker 3: just just know that going in that's part of I
- 56:54Speaker 3: know they carry over, but no, I think that's not
- 56:56Speaker 3: carrying over. That's stuff that you have to you know,
- 56:59Speaker 3: you have to spend draft picks and stuff like that.
- 57:00Speaker 3: That's money you have to have in your on your
- 57:04Speaker 3: you know, bank account there. You have to have that
- 57:06Speaker 3: twenty five million so you can you know, run through
- 57:09Speaker 3: the season. So you know, these websites might tell you
- 57:12Speaker 3: it's fifty million, but they have and still that means
- 57:15Speaker 3: they have money to do other things. You're right, you
- 57:17Speaker 3: are right. I'm just saying it's not fifty it's still
- 57:20Speaker 3: twenty five, that you can still do things. Though you
- 57:22Speaker 3: can still do things, So I'm not I'm.
- 57:24Speaker 18: Not just saying they have to.
- 57:25Speaker 19: They have to.
- 57:26Speaker 18: They have to said, I don't think there are We're.
- 57:29Speaker 19: Not close to Philadelphia. Even though Philadelphia lost a couple
- 57:35Speaker 19: of defensive players. They drafted so good the prior years
- 57:39Speaker 19: that it's just the young kid. They looked at the
- 57:41Speaker 19: young kids, They're like, oh, young guys are just as good,
- 57:43Speaker 19: and we don't pay them. I would like for them
- 57:47Speaker 19: to get Mike and done as soon as possible, and
- 57:49Speaker 19: then I like them to go get Tyler Smith's done.
- 57:53Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, those.
- 57:54Speaker 19: Are the two guys. The rest you know, you got time,
- 57:58Speaker 19: but those are the two guys, especially Micah. Now I'm
- 58:02Speaker 19: sure they're saying to himselves, but we really want a
- 58:05Speaker 19: forty one forty and I don't think it's gonna take four.
- 58:07Speaker 19: I think it's gonna take thirty seven, thirty eight. And
- 58:10Speaker 19: I disagree with the aged guess the agents are gunning
- 58:14Speaker 19: for the most money. But if the player gets if
- 58:18Speaker 19: Michael gets presented a deal and he likes it, he'll
- 58:22Speaker 19: he has the power to say I'm taking it. Yes,
- 58:26Speaker 19: agent is always gonna It's like in a you know,
- 58:30Speaker 19: a realtor. They could say, you know, we could get more,
- 58:32Speaker 19: we could get more. But if the owner's own the
- 58:35Speaker 19: house is none, no, no, I'm not waiting around. I'm
- 58:37Speaker 19: gonna take it. So it's I think Michael would be
- 58:40Speaker 19: willing to take. Out of all the players everybody talked about.
- 58:42Speaker 19: Dak definitely not see the he took. He got what
- 58:46Speaker 19: he was supposed to get, so I don't he was perfect.
- 58:49Speaker 19: Thirty five was the top guy got what thirty four
- 58:51Speaker 19: We figured that Mike, I honestly don't think is asking
- 58:55Speaker 19: for forty two. I really don't. I think he's gonna.
- 58:58Speaker 19: I think he'll take thirty five at thirty eight.
- 59:01Speaker 3: But we'll see, we'll see. I mean, I thought it
- 59:05Speaker 3: was close, and now I don't know if it's if
- 59:07Speaker 3: it's that close, but then again, you can get close
- 59:10Speaker 3: like that, like you said, if you want to get
- 59:12Speaker 3: to a number in mind, you can just do it
- 59:14Speaker 3: and then, just like with the Daxi thing, you can
- 59:16Speaker 3: get to where it needs to be. The probably the
- 59:18Speaker 3: offers were on the table, whether or not they want
- 59:21Speaker 3: to do it or not. So all right, Rob, good
- 59:24Speaker 3: to hear from you, appreciate it. We'll talk to you later. Uh,
- 59:30Speaker 3: all right, let's go to break. Let's go to break

- 1:00:41Speaker 1: It's the Cowboys storyline.
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back to Cowboys storyline. We're talking about
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: it here in the break that I think it was
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: Robin the last call that said, I don't really know
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: how many picks we had, not in either, but it
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: looks like right now the Cowboys are sitting with ten
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: draft picks. They did get the four comp picks, so
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: they've already traded one of those away, but they they
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: do have ten right now. They have a pick in
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: the first, second and third, no pick in the fourth,
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: three picks in the fifth, two in the sixth, two
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: in the seventh. So that's Saturday as it stands right now,
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: that's going to be a pretty busy day. Even without
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: a fourth round pick. Currently, you're still looking at seven
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: draft picks there. So uh, but you know, we'll see,
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. I think the Cowboys will probably
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: I know they will move around and do some things,
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: and who knows, they may even make some trades before
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: we even get to the draft. And so that's where
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: it stands right now. Ten draft picks. We'll see what
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: it looks like. All right, let's go to Lester in Minnesota. Lester,
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: what's up? Well, what's it gonna take for them to
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: get good?
- 1:01:55Speaker 9: A good offensive? A good it's a very good offensive
- 1:01:59Speaker 9: and defensive life at the same time.
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: All right, I love it. I haven't heard it today.
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: I love that other people refer to it. So it's great.
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: What he got?
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: Man, what do you got for us?
- 1:02:13Speaker 20: I give the grade on our what we're so far
- 1:02:16Speaker 20: done on the free agent market as C I think
- 1:02:22Speaker 20: we should go get Keenan Island. And if the Sante
- 1:02:26Speaker 20: Samuel is still out there, I think we should go
- 1:02:28Speaker 20: get him. And then, of course I gave you what
- 1:02:33Speaker 20: I thought the offensive line should be. I think last week,
- 1:02:36Speaker 20: I think we could be okay with that starting the seasons.
- 1:02:42Speaker 20: I mean, of course I want more, but I think
- 1:02:46Speaker 20: we could be okay with that, and then I would
- 1:02:48Speaker 20: work on the defensive line first. Unless someone falls good
- 1:02:54Speaker 20: offensive line falls to a pick where we don't expect it,
- 1:02:58Speaker 20: like Cede Lamb did, of course take.
- 1:02:59Speaker 9: Them, but right, that's what I would do, okay.
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, I mean I I I like the I
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: like the offensive line. I think offensive line is probably
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: what's needed the most. But I you know, if there's
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: defensive line, I'm fine with that. If it's a pass rusher,
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: I mean I said this earlier in the show. I
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: mean I would be fine with that too. I see,
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: like I said, I heard. I was listening to the
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: to the talk radio this morning. We're kind of talking
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: about certain draft trade scenarios and maybe the Cowboys would
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: move to twenty in a trade with I think the
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: thing that was Denver. I don't know if I love that.
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: You know, I like sixteen, seventeen, twenty. You know, you're
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: you're picking up another you know, second round pick, probably
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: like late second which which that's intriguing as well, but
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: you're still you're picking late in the second round. I
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: don't know if I love that as much as you know,
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: from twelve to twenty you're definitely dropping. So I don't
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: know how far. I'll ask you, Lester, how far would
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: you want to trade back, like in the first round,
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: what would be ideal, what would be too far?
- 1:04:17Speaker 9: I do we're at twelve, right, No, no, no less
- 1:04:21Speaker 9: than go down no further than sixteen and pick up
- 1:04:26Speaker 9: that fourth round pick we loss, or or like you said,
- 1:04:29Speaker 9: if we can get a third or a second or whatever,
- 1:04:31Speaker 9: let's pick up that fourth round pick though, let's let's
- 1:04:34Speaker 9: try to get that if we could. Yeah, yeah, let's
- 1:04:37Speaker 9: get it back.
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:04:42Speaker 20: The reason I said keenan Allen because I know he's
- 1:04:46Speaker 20: hurt a lot.
- 1:04:46Speaker 9: But he's a he's a really he's a veteran. He's
- 1:04:49Speaker 9: a really good number two. You those you know the
- 1:04:54Speaker 9: routes and everything, think that. I think we got so
- 1:04:58Speaker 9: many holes. That's where I I usually don't fiddle around
- 1:05:01Speaker 9: with receivers and stuff like that, but we got so
- 1:05:04Speaker 9: many holes. I'm just in my mind trying to fill them. Yeah.
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the receiver thing is interesting because if
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: if you're bringing in an older guy that that you know,
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: he's obviously not gonna play special teams. So now you're
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: looking at you you got Tolbert in there as well,
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: then you're gonna draft the guy. Maybe, I wonder, I
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: don't think it can be a Tyler Lockett maybe, I
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: mean Keen Allen.
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: Maybe.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: But I just don't know if it can be somebody
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: that that is just like your third receiver, fourth receiver,
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: just because you know you you need a guy that
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: that can be a number two. And I think Tolbert's
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: really a three. That's what I would think, so and
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: I think Keenan Allen could be that guy. But uh,
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: but we'll see. I don't know. I think I think
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: they're gonna get creative here. I'm just I'm just gonna
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: leave it at that thing.
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: They'll get creative, all right.
- 1:06:04Speaker 9: Well, we like to do the one and two year deals.
- 1:06:07Speaker 9: I mean you can put Keenan Allen definitely on the
- 1:06:09Speaker 9: one or two year deal. I mean yeah, again, I
- 1:06:12Speaker 9: don't know about all that stuff, but I know they
- 1:06:15Speaker 9: like to do one and two year deals. Yeah, and
- 1:06:17Speaker 9: then like you said, maybe draft someone and developed that
- 1:06:21Speaker 9: person or whatever. Right, I'm just looking to fill a hole.
- 1:06:24Speaker 9: This is so we can compete with these people. And
- 1:06:28Speaker 9: I have to visit.
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: I get it. No, I get it. I understand you.
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: I want to compete. That it's not you know, next year,
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: two years from now. You want to compete this year.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: And and we've seen it happen. I mean, we we've
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: seen things turn around. Thanks for the call, Lester appreciate
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: that he's already had his tagline in there. We know,
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: we know what it takes in his mind how to
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: get things better and and what's it gonna take. So
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: you know, I just feel like things things can happen
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: in one season. We've seen turnarounds. You know, we've seen
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: it happen. We saw we saw it with Look at Washington.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: I mean, you know, new a new coach, new vibe,
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: new staff, that can go a lot.
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: I don't.
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: It can't carry you all the way. You got to
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: have good players. There's no doubt about it. This team
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: has good players. They've got to get a little luckier
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: than than they they have as far as injury wise,
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: and so that you know, gotta gotta hope that it's
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: not going to be like it was last year. I mean,
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: you're gonna have injuries. But last year, just player after
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: player after player, a great player at that just just
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: wipe them out. So you know, you can't it's hard
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: to compete. I mean you can you can argue that
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: when you look at all the injuries and look at
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: what happened. I mean seven and ten was just amazing
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: just to get there, but I think that they'll they'll
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: be better overall in a lot of areas you can
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: stay somewhat healthy, also have a little bit more depth.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: And that's what they're working on now. That's that's what
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: that's what free agency is about, getting some of those
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: guys in the back end that when you do have
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: an injury on your frontline players that you can you
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: can going there and and and you know withstand that.
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: Let's go to Ronnie in New Jersey by good morning, Nick,
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: what's up?
- 1:08:10Speaker 18: I was just listening and listening to the grades you
- 1:08:13Speaker 18: guys were giving for the free agency. I can't believe
- 1:08:19Speaker 18: Rob gave gave them a C plus or or you
- 1:08:24Speaker 18: giving them a B. I don't think on free agency
- 1:08:29Speaker 18: it was no better than a D plus. D uh
- 1:08:32Speaker 18: A deep, A D plus D plus. I don't see
- 1:08:36Speaker 18: how you can give them a better grade.
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: Than that D is in Dallas or B.
- 1:08:41Speaker 18: Yeah, d ds in Dallas, D plus.
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: I don't.
- 1:08:44Speaker 18: I don't see how you can get even into a
- 1:08:47Speaker 18: C considering that the guys they picked up, they're hoping.
- 1:08:52Speaker 18: We're doing that.
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: Everybody's hoping, I mean everybody, you're hoping on everybody. The
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: first pick in the draft, you're hoping cam Ward, You're
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: hoping cam Woard is good. You're hoping. I mean it's
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: all hope, isn't it? And it all hope? I mean yeah,
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: I mean it's not like, so, who would get an A?
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: Who would get an A? In free agency? What team
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: is getting an A?
- 1:09:14Speaker 18: I honestly, I'm not looking into what other teams would
- 1:09:17Speaker 18: I don't either.
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. My answer to that would be they're
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: all hoping as well. So, but d what what would
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: have been.
- 1:09:26Speaker 18: If they would have gotten at least three starters?
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: I mean, I know we got.
- 1:09:32Speaker 18: The defensive tackle, we.
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: Got Solomon Thomas.
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: No, we got our guy back.
- 1:09:41Speaker 18: We got our guy back, and there's one Thomas. We
- 1:09:43Speaker 18: gotta mess it back up. So everybody everybody else, I
- 1:09:47Speaker 18: don't see. I don't see what starter we we picked
- 1:09:50Speaker 18: up that's gonna make a difference in the team. As
- 1:09:54Speaker 18: you know, free agency from from the guys they traded for.
- 1:09:57Speaker 18: The guys they traded for weren't even start orders. We
- 1:10:00Speaker 18: weren't even being that aside from the linebacker, one of
- 1:10:03Speaker 18: the linebackers, it wasn't even that they weren't that productive.
- 1:10:05Speaker 18: In the other teams where they were at. So I
- 1:10:08Speaker 18: don't see that, as you know, an upgrade and in
- 1:10:12Speaker 18: any in any of the guys that we picked up.
- 1:10:14Speaker 18: I ain't see an upgrade in any of those players.
- 1:10:18Speaker 18: I mean aside from the aside from the Solomon Thomas
- 1:10:21Speaker 18: as a as a backup, so that that might be
- 1:10:23Speaker 18: the only one. But aside from that, like and you
- 1:10:27Speaker 18: got to, like you said, we're hoping, we're like, we're
- 1:10:30Speaker 18: predicting that these guys were going to hit on every
- 1:10:32Speaker 18: every pick. How many uh picks you have to hit
- 1:10:36Speaker 18: on this year in order for this team to be competitive,
- 1:10:39Speaker 18: because you're gonna have to hit like a four or
- 1:10:41Speaker 18: five guys.
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: One you gotta have got it. You got to definitely
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: get one in the first round, first round.
- 1:10:47Speaker 18: You better leave the first round.
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one. That's the one that you have
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: to hit. And and we and we've seen it before,
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: twenty twenty one is not that great of a draft.
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: But Michael was great. You know, Michael was great.
- 1:11:02Speaker 18: They hit on that on a good team, on a
- 1:11:04Speaker 18: good defense. He became that that flash and that defense that.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: That wasn't a good team. I mean, that was the
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: six and ten football team. So that wasn't a good
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: team before that. So all what I'm saying is they
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: got to hit one. But you know, Ronnie, like we
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: can just agree to disagree. I mean, like I think
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: that they they brought in more players than you think.
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: I mean, like you want I think that's the narrative
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: you want to say, Oh, well, Kenneth Murray wasn't a
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: good player. I mean he was. I mean he led,
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: He led two different teams in tackles, so he was productive.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: Not saying he's the best, but I mean he was productive.
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: That's why they traded for.
- 1:11:37Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, the linebacker. The linebacker was production.
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: Samborne was a productive, solid player for the Bears. Solid
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: and eber Fluce knows them, knows how to use them
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: and all that. But I mean you ask people, and
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: I know people. We got people here in the building
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: that are that follow the Bears, and they're like, good,
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: solid player, not not great, but you know the moon Clark.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: What's the monk Clark doing? I mean you got to
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: get better than that. I mean, I mean.
- 1:12:02Speaker 18: Where we we We've had a weakness in our in
- 1:12:05Speaker 18: stopping the run for the last yeah, the last decade basically,
- 1:12:10Speaker 18: And and I just haven't seen anything, any commitment to
- 1:12:14Speaker 18: to to the number one priority where it should have been,
- 1:12:18Speaker 18: how do we stop the other team from running the
- 1:12:20Speaker 18: ball down our throats? Because that's what happens every single game,
- 1:12:23Speaker 18: every single year.
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: Like that's what I'm kind.
- 1:12:25Speaker 18: Of tired of seeing. I'm tired of seeing us getting
- 1:12:28Speaker 18: beaten by by just any team whenever they decide, you
- 1:12:30Speaker 18: know what, let's just run the ball and that's it.
- 1:12:33Speaker 18: And you know what I'm saying, like what Mafi, No,
- 1:12:36Speaker 18: I don't have I have no hope on Mafi. I'm sorry,
- 1:12:39Speaker 18: I don't. I don't know anything about the guy. All
- 1:12:42Speaker 18: I seen from the guy, he's not productive run on
- 1:12:44Speaker 18: the field. So that's what I'm saying, Like, you're gonna
- 1:12:48Speaker 18: have to hit at least on three. You're putting too
- 1:12:51Speaker 18: much on the draft, You're putting too much on on
- 1:12:54Speaker 18: everybody on the draft personnel to like hit. You're gonna
- 1:12:57Speaker 18: you're gonna have to hit at least three starters from
- 1:12:59Speaker 18: this draft in order to be competitive, and not only
- 1:13:02Speaker 18: in our division, but look at our conference. Our conference
- 1:13:05Speaker 18: is is going to be really good. It's going to
- 1:13:07Speaker 18: be hard to make the playoffs. So my thing is
- 1:13:11Speaker 18: from here. It's maybe in two more years if that's
- 1:13:14Speaker 18: the route that we're going. When I say, uh, the voute,
- 1:13:17Speaker 18: we're going by getting draft picks. But all right, I'm
- 1:13:21Speaker 18: just going to see you go with the.
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: Flow, all right, sounds sounds good running all right? Uh yeah.
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: You know, teachers are different, professors are different, they grade differently, so,
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: you know, and sometimes the great off of expectations as well.
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: I mean, what you kind of expect to happen, and
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: and you know, for me, a little bit surprised, pleasantly
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: surprised with some of the moves they made. Again, I
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: don't think they're done, so we'll see, we'll see what happens.
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: Let's go one more call before we have to end
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: it here. Let's go to Rebecca in Minnesota. Rebecca, what's
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: up Hi there?
- 1:13:56Speaker 23: Take my call?
- 1:13:57Speaker 20: Good.
- 1:13:57Speaker 21: I have two thoughts.
- 1:13:59Speaker 23: One is kind of feel the general consensus is that
- 1:14:02Speaker 23: they've done a little bit more than they have in
- 1:14:04Speaker 23: the past and free agency, but they really haven't done
- 1:14:07Speaker 23: a lot, and I agree with that. That being said,
- 1:14:11Speaker 23: I don't really know what to take going forward. So
- 1:14:14Speaker 23: I asked, going in the next year, would you feel
- 1:14:16Speaker 23: better about the offense being more shirt up, quote unquote,
- 1:14:20Speaker 23: or the defense being more shirt up quote unquote. And
- 1:14:24Speaker 23: another thought in the back of my head is, I
- 1:14:26Speaker 23: know this is a very popular opinion, but I would
- 1:14:29Speaker 23: very much be on board with entertaining training Mica, And
- 1:14:33Speaker 23: I know it's probably not a possibility, but maybe could
- 1:14:36Speaker 23: you entertain me and just say, what would it take
- 1:14:39Speaker 23: for a team or for us to maybe agree with
- 1:14:43Speaker 23: a trait and what can we potentially get for like
- 1:14:46Speaker 23: picks and just for it or you know, just it'd
- 1:14:48Speaker 23: be kind of fun to think about what we could
- 1:14:50Speaker 23: potentially all of sudden get for the draft, you know
- 1:14:52Speaker 23: how different in drastic That would just change the thinking
- 1:14:56Speaker 23: the next month coming into the draft, though, I believe
- 1:14:58Speaker 23: that that to what you have to say and have
- 1:15:00Speaker 23: a good one.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: Thank you, offense or defense? Which one is going to
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: be short up the most. That's a good one because
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: you've got you've got some holes a defense with with
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: injuries some injuries there. When you think about, you know
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: what's going to happen with Diggs over shown you're replacing
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: you know, DeMarcus Lawrence on another key piece in defensive line.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: And then when you look at offense, still got to
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: figure out the left tackle and you're losing your starting
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: running back. But I feel like offense is probably going
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: to be have a chance to be short up the most,
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: just because I just look at the coaching staff, the
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: resources there. The head coach is an offensive guy. You
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: don't you know, you're still have two of your top
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: players or quarterback receiver. I think the running back will
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: be good. That position will be one way or another.
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: I think I think we're going to run the ball better,
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: which I think will make everyone better. I think the offense,
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: if I had to answer that question, and then about
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: trading Micah, I don't think they're going to trade Micah,
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: mainly because what they would ask for would probably be
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: something that just teams wouldn't want to do. But I
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: think for me, it would be three number ones. So
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: that's where I would that would be tough to turn
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: down three number ones. Two number ones and I don't
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: I don't know about that one and less and unless
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: one of them is up there really high. But the
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: problem there is it's got to be very high because
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: you're going to need a pass rusher. Now now you
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: have a huge need, so you're creating a need. So
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: if it's two number ones. I mean, it's got to
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: be the second overall pick, so you can get another
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: pin state number eleven wearing pass rusher. They're in a
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: dual carter. I mean, that's what you'd have to do.
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: So at that point you're just kind of hitting the
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: reset button and moving moving forward, you know, you know,
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: kind of starting over over again there. And I get it,
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: but I just don't think that's the route that Cowboys
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: are gonna go. I really don't. I think they're gonna
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: keep They're gonna keep Mige, they're gonna sign, and they're
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: gonna figure it out. But interesting, oh, we gotta have
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: one more caller, Sorry, Troy and Ambarillo didn't see it.
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: Real quick, Troy, what's.
- 1:17:15Speaker 5: Up in That's okay?
- 1:17:17Speaker 24: Two real quick things, Dick Man, I tell you it's
- 1:17:19Speaker 24: not a sneaky need. I think cornerback corner is a
- 1:17:24Speaker 24: huge need. You know they're coming back.
- 1:17:26Speaker 6: That's gonna be a huge ted.
- 1:17:27Speaker 24: And I have reservations, man, about signing my code.
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: I really do.
- 1:17:31Speaker 24: Through a long term contract. I think it's a great challenge.
- 1:17:34Speaker 24: But I think then you know when he disappears in
- 1:17:36Speaker 24: the second half, you know, and uh, you know when
- 1:17:39Speaker 24: he gets double team and stuff like that, and he
- 1:17:41Speaker 24: goes and pouting on the sidelines. I would have a
- 1:17:42Speaker 24: serious reservations, man, about the side of my franchise, you again,
- 1:17:45Speaker 24: you know, and if you can't figure out the team
- 1:17:47Speaker 24: or something to getting freed up.
- 1:17:48Speaker 4: Man.
- 1:17:48Speaker 24: But twelve and a half sacks when he should have
- 1:17:51Speaker 24: twenty four probably twenty five.
- 1:17:53Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 1:17:53Speaker 24: I've had the reservation. It's about that, That's all I got.
- 1:17:55Speaker 3: Dick, Okay, appreciate that. I mean, I I don't know
- 1:18:01Speaker 3: about the should have twenty four to twenty five. I mean,
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: I don't I don't know about that. I mean's he
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: was hurt a little bit last year and missed some games,
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: came back played well, you know at the end of
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: the season, changed the defense. I mean that right there,
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: to me is why I think he's so valuable, just
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: because of what he was able to do when he
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: got back last year from injury. They led the whole
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: NFL in sacks as a team. I mean, everybody was better,
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: everybody got more pressure just because of him, and he
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: got sacks. The other guy's got sacks. You know, we're
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: talking about Carl Lawson's and Chauncey Goldston's and and those guys.
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: So I believe that, you know. I'm sorry, I'm getting
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: really distracted here. I'm seeing our man Isaiah standback, just
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: get like like body slammed here for some wrestling moves
- 1:18:45Speaker 3: on an NFL network. Hope he's okay. I hope we
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: don't need to have a replacement there on Talking Cowboys.
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: Looks like he's doing good. Check out Isaiah there, good
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: Morning Football, doing some stuff, some wrestling. I think he
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: could be a wrestler for sure. Sorry, Troy, I didn't
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: I didn't answer the question exactly. But but Corner, You're right,
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: not a sneaky need, it's a need. It's a need
- 1:19:05Speaker 3: because you don't know what Diggs is gonna do. You
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: still don't know exactly what deron Bland. I mean, he's
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: kind of hard to evaluate. He gives up some plays,
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: he makes some for you in record setting fashion. They
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: lost their slot corner, uh in Jordan Lewis. So it
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: did make a trade with with the guy from the Bills.
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: But but for the for the most part, though, it
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: is still an issue that that they need to fix it. Corner.
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: Maybe that's the pick at twelve maybe it's it's a
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: barren from Texas. Be okay with that too, you know,
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: I mean i'd be I'd be all right. I would
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: probably tell everyone what you're gonna do moving on at
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: some point with with with Diggs, and maybe he's not
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: the long term answer, but still, I mean that would
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: be I would be okay with twelve.
- 1:19:51Speaker 7: You know.
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: Then, I know we had a story about the Texas
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: Pro Day. Uh, Tommy Yarsh went down there at Austin,
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: Uh wrote and he'll have an He had an article
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: on there about some prospects there and a lot of
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: guys from Texas could be that pick there at number twelve. Overall,
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: all right, great show, guys, appreciate you got fifteen callers.
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: Good stuff. As always, We will be back next Wednesday
