• 0:56
  Speaker 4: but with you here, Darren, I'm trying to.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Move on as well, man, But hey, let's bring it back.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I just want to get your thoughts on that and
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: also how you kind of can get bounced back from that.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: All right, aight, aight a eight five five two two
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: ninety seven. Already have a couple of callers on the line.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: We got Darren for about twenty minutes or so here,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: So we'll we'll get off. We'll get to the phone
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: calls here in a second, but first I do want
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: to just talk to you. We got some breaking news
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: going on here, and Quinn, defensive coordinator, is taking a
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: job with the Washington Commanders. Are your thoughts on that one?
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, you k know you're gonna lose Dan
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: at some point, you knew that was gonna happen. He
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: probably probably should have lost him last year. And look,
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: I think there's a lot of those who are are
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: still burning hot from the last game of the season.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: They're saying, well, he didn't do you know, the defense
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: didn't play up to the par How could he get
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: a new job or blah blah blah. Look the guy
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: is his track record over the last couple of years
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: has been remarkable, and I thought it was one of
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: the best stage last year as far as keeping people,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: even players within the organization. I thought that was one
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: of the best keepers last year and finding a way
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: to keep Dan Quinn on staff. I'm happy for him.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: I think he's long overdue for a head coaching job.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: I don't like the fact that he's in the division.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: But at the same time, look his track record of
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: what he's been able to accomplish, whether it be in
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: Seattle with the you know what they call the Legion
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: of Doom, and then moving on to Atlanta and going
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: to the Super Bowl with that team, and then coming
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: to Dallas and changing things around. Look, I just got
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: a ton of respect for dan Quainne, even though you
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: know what they went through the season. You know, even
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: with going through the season, they had a great season.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: He put guys in the right.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Position to win games. Just so happened. It didn't happen
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: for him. And in the end.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure I'll get a chance later on in
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the show to I'll be asked about it. I'll throw
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: my two cents in later in the show. But yeah,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I mean I agree with with everything that you said.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: All right, let's just get to the phone line. Let's
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: try to get as many callers that can talk to
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: you as possible here. So let's go to Brian in
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Kansas City.
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: First up, Good afternoon, gentlemen. Well I'm a little sick today,
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: which is why I'm home from work. But I am
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: really glad because I've never been able to call in
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: and on a day when Woody's there nice, So it
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: is a pleasure to talk to you, sir.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah you too.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: B Well, Brian always asks me like a former player
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and give a story or whatever. So I'm hoping maybe
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: you'll ask Darren, a player that you he'll have some great,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: great stories on any of these guys.
• 3:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Absolutely, So I got two questions, and then of
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: course I'll hang up and listen so other people can participate.
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: My first question is, if you're one of the guys
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: that looks into this stuff and follows this stuff, do
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: you have an opinion on any of the safeties coming
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: out this year? And my other question is something close
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: to what Nick just said, but maybe a favorite mentor
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: as you were coming up and through the ranks. I'll
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: hang up and listen, and y'all have a great show.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: To answer your first quest, I should I have no idea.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: I remember my ESPN days of having to watch you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: the entire football season and then watch you know, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: college draft and and get prep for who's coming out.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not That's not my deal anyet. I'm clueless. I'm clueless.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's another show that just they did They.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Just left out the draft show call mel Kiper.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the one the all over it. I'm not there
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: yet either, And I don't even know if that would
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: be your top priority thinking about because they signed MALIEK.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Cooker and they signed Donovan Wilson. So I don't think
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: they're going to be looking at safeties that high in
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the draft that they never really do it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: They never do anyway, right, So that's not happening.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: But there's some free agent pickups maybe that that that
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: are out there that they may want to take a
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: look at. As for your second question, as far as mentors, look,
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: I had so many guys that that mentored me through
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: the process. That Tony Tolbert was a guy, uh when
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: I came into the league somehow, some way, even him
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: being a defensive end, really took me under arm and
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: you know, taught me how to be a professional. Jim
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Jeffcote another one that took me under his wing. James Washington,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Thomas Everett, Ray Horton. I mean, these guys came in
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: and these were safeties and they knew I came in
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: to take their position, and they still just poured into me,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: gave me a ton of knowledge, gave me an understanding
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: of how to play zone and you know, I was
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: pretty good doing man, but the zone concepts were you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I was oblivious to understanding what was going on there,
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: and they just spent so much time into teaching me
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: the nuances of the game.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: So uh, those are those are? You know? And there
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: were so many others.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, Roger Starbaucht as you know, as much as
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: I was doing on the football field, off the fields,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Roger was instrumental really and pouring. I mean, is the
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: reason why I'm in commercial real estate today is because
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: of who Roger was and how he came back around
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: and really poured into me and told me, hey, this
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: is a you know, short lived business you ain't gonna
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: be here for and what you're playing. So I just
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: had so many people that that that that mentored me
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: through the process.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I remember you telling me a story and not to
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: get you know, too personal with it, but there was
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: something that had happened that that Troy Aikman even read about.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yes, yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: You involved with something I don't know.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I went through. I went through.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: You know, it wasn't that damaging, but I went through.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: My financial advisor had came up in the pay in
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: the newspaper that had taken the bank and he had
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: actually taken the found out that he had actually taken advantage.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Of me in a small way.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: But at the same time it became news and Troy
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: I remember, really, you know, just walking up to me
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: when when the story broke, was in the locker room,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: walked up to me and said, hey, man, I got
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: the right financial group for you.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Same group i'm with today.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Really, this isn't ninety three, ninety ninety three, my first
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: year or two in the league, and I'm still with
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: the same group. But Troy is another one that just
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's so many guys that were older than me,
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: and I think that's what was so special about those.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Teams back then.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: It was a ton of personalities guys had, you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: had their own goals and dreams. At the same time, Man,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: it was a family affair. It was a network of
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: guys that really wanted to take care of each other.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: That's pretty awesome. All right, Let's go to Justin in California.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, how you doing, Brothers, I'm good.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 7:25
  Speaker 11: I'm good.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: I'm good.
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: I think the last time I called was just before
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: the Green Bay game.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Hello, justin real quick. Are you do you know you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: you're on with Darren Woodson. Yes, I am a.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: You know what, Darren, I got to thank you because
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: when I was when I was younger, so you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: it was probably like nine or so, and I had
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: just started Pop Warner and I wanted to be Emmon
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: Smith so bad. I wanted to be a running back.
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: I want to be a running back.
• 7:54
  Speaker 12: And didn't we all happening?
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly, And my coach was like, no, you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, let's put you at let's try
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: you that safety, let's try that safety. And I, you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: I didn't really want to be and you know, watching
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: watching you play it finally made it cool for me
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: to be a safety. It was like you know what,
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: yeah this is this was cool. Like they started me
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: at free safety and I actually had fun.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: One of my main goals is to get as many
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: picks as I could. You know, pop warning, you're not
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: really getting that many picks. But I ended up staying
• 8:27
  Speaker 10: with it. I ended up being Free Safety all through
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: j V High school and then I decided to call
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: it quit.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, large largely for a reason because there was someone
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: always always over me through Pop Warner and through high school.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: His name is Eric Little, and we'll see why he
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: got the starting position over me. But but but.
• 8:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you because at a young age, I wanted
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: to be, you know, the superstar. And yeah, you made
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: it cool for you made it okay for me to try.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: To get better at safety.
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: So I appreciate that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I hope, I hope you. I hope you make
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: it this year.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that long overdo thank you.
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: But uh yeah, last time I called it was the
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Green Bay game and I think I said, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: firing Mark Mike McCarthy was going to be to be crazy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: I still think that. I like the decision they made,
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: and I'm happy with the decision that, you know, you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: dan Quinn decided to take another job. I just think
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: I'm looking back and I'm thinking, when was the last
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: time we had a good run defense. It was even
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: before dan Quinn. We've had this issue, and I'm glad
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: we're not sticking with it. I'm glad we're going to
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: go in a different direction. As good as he was,
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: we need to we need to fix this run defense somehow.
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: I don't know if it is just coaching or if
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: it's this front line and we need guys that just
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: want to get it. So I just want to call
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: in about that because I think a lot of people
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: are are are like, oh, no, it's going to happen
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: to this defense. I think it's actually a good thing.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: So all right, well thanks for the called justin. I
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: kind of agree. Last year I wouldn't have thought this,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: but this year they need to do something different and
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I think that a different type of defense. And nothing
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: against Dan Quinn, but I think that if you're going
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: to make a splash, you gotta do it somehow.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: And yeah, but are you built, you know, currently, are
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: you built personnel wise to make that change? Like that's
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: that's the question. Because this team, we all know this
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: team can rush the passing across the board, right, But
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: it's a difference when you got to get those hogs
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: up in the middle there that you know, pin their
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: ears back.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: And and and stop the run.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: And that's their main focus now they try to do
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: that by Mazi last year that that hasn't worked out
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: to where we expected to be. But that's a fundamental difference.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: That's a you know that is a mentality that you
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: have to have. And it's not just your front four
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: or your your interior lineman. It goes to the middle
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: of your defense, your linebackers. What kind of players are they?
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Who's on the who right now?
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: On on within the personnel or this football team.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Is that guy that's gonna knock your teeth out? Who's
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: that guy that's gonna plug that hole not get pushed
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: back by the by the offensive guard or by the center.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: They don't. That's not their makeup. So it's easy to say, yeah, we're.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Gonna change this, and we're gonna do that, and we're
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: gonna bring a new coach in. With the new coach
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: is gonna say, well, hey, this is who I have
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: to These are the pieces that I'm gonna have to
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: deal with. Right, So that's a fundamental change. That's okay.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Now we have to in the draft. We have to
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: start drafting guys that are built this way. Now we
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: have to go out in free agency it start bringing
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: guys in that can fit the mole to stop to run.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: I just don't think that's their mentality and hasn't been
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: their mentality personnel wise, it's rushed the passer get you
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: in third and long pen years back and go. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: you know, when you get in the playoffs and you
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: play against a team that's like the Packers or or
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: the San Francisco forty nine ers or who want to
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: play bully.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Ball, it's not third long and one.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, second in three like it's that's a tough deal
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: there to have.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely agree with that, and I think they
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: need to get They just need to get bigger their
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: line back to get.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: And also you know, just to go along with that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: I remember when I first came to the league, Jimmy
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: Johnson made onus of every day when we went out
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: to practice and we put on the pass because we
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: were in pass all the time.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Got to control the front, got to control the front.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: You gotta win in the trenches. It's all I used
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: to remember.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: And it was this is a time in the NFC
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: East where you had the the New York Giants that
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: were fully loaded.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean top to bottom.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Eagles were loaded, the Redskins back then loaded as what,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: and everyone ran the football. So we had our focus
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: was control the line of scrimmens. Leon Less, the Tony
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: casiis is the Jimmy Jones, the the who else?
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: The Russell? Absolutely, Russell Maryland was the number one pick.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Ye, Like you talk about a fundamental change, you want
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: to stop the run. You picked guys early on to
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: do just that. So that's that was the mindset.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: You know, the next defensive tackle they took in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: first round. No, Mazie Smith. That's how long it's been. Seriously,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: it's all Marcus Spears.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: What year? What round did he go?
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: You know, technically defensive end?
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Oh he was okay, had a three four? All that?
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, all right, let's go back to the phone line.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: William in West Virginia.
• 13:18
  Speaker 13: What's up, Nick, my man? How's it going, good man?
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 13:22
  Speaker 14: Oh?
• 13:23
  Speaker 15: Hanging man?
• 13:23
  Speaker 16: They're sure really for that loss. But like I said,
• 13:25
  Speaker 16: I had to call in and say say hey to
• 13:27
  Speaker 16: Wooding and say thank you sir an Arm and talk
• 13:29
  Speaker 16: to see.
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: I think for all the years you date to Cowboy fans,
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: thank you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: And I had a couple of questions for you, what
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: if you don't care?
• 13:38
  Speaker 16: First of all, could you just describe how underrated the
• 13:41
  Speaker 16: player Thomas Everett was I really.
• 13:43
  Speaker 15: Back when he played?
• 13:44
  Speaker 16: He was a phenomenal player. I really thought he was
• 13:47
  Speaker 16: a great player. And secondly, could you give us some
• 13:49
  Speaker 16: stories about how great a tandem you and Roy Williams
• 13:52
  Speaker 16: were besides Cliff, Besides Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 16: can't remember the cowboy with tandem.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: Look, Thomas Everett was and I mentioned Thomas earlier on
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: and as far as guys that mentored me on and
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: off the fields, yeah, and thanks appreciate it. Brother Thomas
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: was awesome. He had along with James Washington. I mean,
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: Thomas was the guy that was quarterbacking the defense and
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: got guys lined up the right way. But also I
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: mean if you had knee caps and thighs.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Do he was taking them off.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: I mean he came in like a bowling ball to
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: hit guys and me out of nowhere. Uh, he would
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: just show up and it made big plays, made a
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: huge play in the Super Bowl on the interception. But
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: tremendous athlete, more athletic than you you could ever imagine
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: was you know, was vertically challenged And I always say
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: always started telling me your vertically challenged wasn't as tall
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: or wasn't your ideal safety that was six foot or nine.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: But man, he played like he was six ' five. Dude.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: He was just a damn good football player.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: I mean I had a buddy of mine, Mark Labor,
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: to say that he's a football playing Jesse, Like you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: certain guys can just play that game at any point,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: and he was one of those guys.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Roy Roy was Roy, and I man, Roy was before.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: You get in. I just want to say the first
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: caller that said about favorite mentors and all that, those guys,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: what those guys did for you, what you did, it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: my job.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: That was my job.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Circle.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I played with really good safety.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: We mentioned James Washington, Thomas Severett, right, and he got
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: t came in. No, brock Marion. Look, let me tell
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: you what. I'll tell you one thing about Brock Marrion.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Brock Marion was you know, I was tasked to always
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: cover the slot receiver or the best tied end hands
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: down as a safety. Right, So third down, come on,
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: if we if we were playing Tony Gonzalez, Hey, that's
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: your guy. You got him, Shannon Sharp, you got him.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Whoever the slot guy is. If it's Steve Smith, Jerry right, Hey,
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: that's that's my deal, right, And I can't tell you
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: when we played man the man Brock. Brock could absolutely cover.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: He wasn't just the middle of the field guy. He
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: could He could line up and play cornerback. I mean,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: he was that talented. And we didn't have guys like that.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: It was just me and then I never really played
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: with a safety that could do those things. Brock could
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: do those things, and it made things so much easier.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: So if Jerry Rice motioned over, I just let him
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: motion over to Brock and I went to the middle
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: of the field, which was which I appreciated. Roy was different.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Roy was probably the biggest hitter I've ever been around.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know if I've ever seen anyone hit and
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: with the power and the force like Roy Williams. And
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: I always felt like I was a big hitter until
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: he showed up, and I was like, he's knocking people
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: out of their socks, even at practice, Like he had
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: to tell him to calm down at practice and chill out.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: But he was that type of forces and he had
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: intimidated the running backs and guys tight ends or wide
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: receiver was running across the middle. He because he sat
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: in the middle of the field, most not deep but
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: shallow would cross the routes and he man, he would
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: declete you when he played. But he was he was
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: a tremendous football player. He was great to play with.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: At the same time, Uh, he was a sponge man.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: He just wanted to listen and learn, uh through the
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: whole time, and and uh, you know, I wish. Look,
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: I think one of the things about Roy that was
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: one of my regrets was that when I went down
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: and I got hurt, I think it took something away
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: from from his progress because I saw him progressing in
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: a tremendous fashion as far as you know, being a
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: top flight safety, and I think he was on the
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: customer really going to the next level.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: But when I went down, they tasked him to do.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: A lot more other things, and it was just a lot.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: It was he had to carry a huge load and
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: a huge burden, and you know that was you know
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: that sucked because you know, he was my boy man,
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: he was my baby, right and I was raising him
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: up that way.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: So I'll still get a little emotional.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: About him because he would he was and is still
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: that special of a person and a player.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: We got to do a documentary on him a few
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: years ago. It's one of my favorite ones that we've
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: done just because of how accessible he was. And he
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I remember him just saying, you guys, do it whatever
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: however you want to do, you know, and uh him
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: and I actually we went sideways a couple of times
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: while he was a player here. But to be able
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: to do that full circle and that was it was awesome.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: He would give you anything. Yeah, he'd give you his
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: shirt off his back. I don't care who you were,
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: if you showed up and you and you were in need. Man,
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: the biggest, biggest heart to the point likes to tell
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: him as his mentor, hey man, stop yeah, stop giving everything.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: He's good.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: He'd be giving away a lot of money played in
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: today's game. Yeah, all right, let's go. Let me get
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: a couple two more calls real quick before Darren's got
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: to leave. Jeff in North Carolina.
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: What's going on?
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: Man?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: I believe I'm on the phone with darn Woods.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Jeff.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: The greatest, greatest safety is everywhere the star Man. I
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: can't believe, Chris, I can't believe I got through you
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: got it? How you doing, man?
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: I'm doing great about youself?
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'm doing good. I'm really doing real good.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Now. I just can't stop getting energy man.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I me and Nick Man we've been we've
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: been going back and forth over the thing the last
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: few weeks, trying to figure out what we can do. Yeah,
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: let me let me ask you something because sometimes I
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: can't articulate what a what a what I'm trying to mean?
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: And uh, I heard something last week Troy said about
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: about getting in the playoffs and maybe they the players
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: because of how bright the story is, how tough it
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: is to play down there, maybe they lose, they could
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: lose their edge a little bit. And I was gonna
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: see what you had to say about that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Look, I'm I'm a firm believer.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: You don't lose a game on Sundays. I just don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: believe that. I don't believe that you show up and
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: it's too bright.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: It's too bright for you. These guys have been playing
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: all their lives like.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: This is nothing new to to Michael Parsons and the
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: CD Lambs. They've been playing at the highest of highest
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: levels all their life and the other team, you know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: it's the same way. The other team isn't playing at
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: this level as well, So it's not the nerves is not.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: I don't believe in the fact. Yeah, you can be
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: able nervous that you get over it after the first
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: hit and you move on. Here's the deal. You are
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: who you are. We've heard this so many times from
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: coaches like Bill Parcells. Right, So when you're in training
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: camp and you when you're playing a certain way, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: you're going through the preseason and you're and you you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: you're deal doing your thing. And then you get into
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: the regular season and it's week six, the week ten
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: and you're doing the exact same thing, and you're leading
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: the league in penalties. That is not going to change
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden. It's not like you pull you
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: turn on the light switch and go, oh okay, now
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: we're different.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Now. No, that's who you are. That is who you are.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: And when you played all season long and you haven't
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: stopped a run against the Buffalo bit or the Arizona
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Cardinals first of all, the Buffalo Bills us the Niners.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: You when you haven't stopped the run, that's who you are.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: And it's only a matter of time until you get
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: into the playoffs. He played another good team like the
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Green Bay Packers, and Jones runs the ball down your throat.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: That's it is what it is.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: So I just hate the you know, hear this whole Well,
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: you can change at any time, and you can do this.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: You can turn you can't turn that light switch on
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: and it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: Starts to ry on. I did like yesterday, I finally
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: when I finally heard that Micah spoke yesterday, and I
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: was glad to hear that. Finally he come out and
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: you say, look, that was embarrassing and unacceptable. And I've
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: been waiting to hear a player say that because it was,
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: and so hopefully that maybe they're getting to that mental
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: part and maybe knowing that they have to you know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: they have to be ready to play off the time.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: So hey, Jeff, this starts down though, like that that
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: all starts like this off season. Michael just said that,
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: it starts down like you really want to want to
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: really burn hot, like really burn hot and let it
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: really you know, burn in your heart is when you
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: started to do things about it. Right, So yeah, you
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: can say that, But at the same time, now it's
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: time for Micah and the rest of the guys who
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: are the leaders of this team to step up and say, okay,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: this off season we're gonna eliminate some of the mistakes
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: that we made. We're gonna actually turn the film on
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: from last year. And Mike Zimmer did this to us
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: in ninety four. I think it was he did it
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: to me personally. He took a note of all the
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: bad plays I had, every bad play that I had,
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: and then put it on film and I had to
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: watch it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: And it sucked, dude. I mean, I didn't sleep for
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: five straight days.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: But it made you a better place.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: But it made me a better football player because I
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: was able to see the warts and I did the
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: entire off season.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: All I did was work on those warts.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: And you know, that's what that and that's what McCarthy
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: did with Dak. You know this year they went through
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: every interception from the year before. Yeah, you know, and yes,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I understand what happened in the Packer game, but we
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: all know Dak had a better season last year. He
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: did have a bounce back year and all that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Thanks thanks for the call, Jeff. Appreciate that we got
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: to move it one more caller here before we got
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: to let Darren go ray in Michigan. What's up, Break,

• 24:25
  Speaker 18: I you know, through this twenty eight year drought, the
• 24:29
  Speaker 18: source of my contentment is my Game War jersey collection,
• 24:32
  Speaker 18: and I collected the nineties and I'm lucky enough to
• 24:36
  Speaker 18: have one of yours. And it's in a way nineteen
• 24:40
  Speaker 18: ninety four. You wore it against Arizona and Washington. But
• 24:43
  Speaker 18: that's so I will have that on my back. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 18: I never wear jerseys, but I will definitely have my
• 24:48
  Speaker 18: back in Canton.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: At Washington ninety four.
• 24:52
  Speaker 12: I don't know if it's ninety four, it was the
• 24:54
  Speaker 12: it was the Apex jersey, the yeah, you know, before
• 24:58
  Speaker 12: you had double start that year, but this was the
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: Blue Away.
• 25:02
  Speaker 18: So anyways, thank you for everything, and it's gonna be
• 25:06
  Speaker 18: great to see you in the Hall of Fame. I
• 25:09
  Speaker 18: guess my question is you know, I didn't. I just
• 25:13
  Speaker 18: wanted to thank you, really, But my question is, what
• 25:17
  Speaker 18: what was it like playing like on Special Teams your
• 25:20
  Speaker 18: rookie year before you starting lineup the following year? What
• 25:26
  Speaker 18: was it like playing like with Kenny Gant? Yeah, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 18: Bill Bates? You know, you know, what did you learn
• 25:31
  Speaker 18: from those guys on Special Yeah?
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Dude, I mean Bill Bates.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: I remember grew up growing up and watching Bill Bates
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: on TV and being a Special Team's ace.
• 25:43
  Speaker 17: Uh.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: And then I get here and I get to meet Bill,
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: but I also got to meet the shark Kenny and
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Gant as great as the Special Teams player.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: As he was, I mean, he was phenomenal and he
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: run through the wedge.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: He made, you know, huge plays on Special Teams and
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: in the nickel at the same time. But gamp Kenny
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Gant was the guy that kept everything loose. I can
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: tell you before games we were in the locker room
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: the biggest games, NFC Championship games.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: And he's cutting up making us laugh.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: He just kept us loose all the time.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: And then when he get out in the field, man,
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: he'd be smiling running down on kickoff like that. Just
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: joy for the game and his energy for the game.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: And he made it fun for me. I mean, he
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: really did. He kept it loose. I mean to answer
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: that question. Look, I don't know if I ever came
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: off out of special teams.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: I played special.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Teams my entire Yeah, my tire kickoff, kickoff return my
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: first year, I played all four of my first year,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: got off the kickoff return team my second year. But
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: I played the punt, punt return and what else kickoff
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: team for thirteen years years And a lot of people
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: don't realize that I'm second all time.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: In leading tackles for in special teams. Wow. And it's
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: a lot of special teams bro.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's not gonna change because no one's getting
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: special teams tackles.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: And trust me, I think I would have played a
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: couple more years if I wasn't playing, all those special
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: teams had some more life.

• 30:35
  Speaker 4: while since we've taken a break on here. Had to
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: let Darren go. Darren Woodson was here. If you just
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: just joined us, feel bad for the callers that tried
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: to get through and couldn't. He was running to a meeting.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: So we love having Darren on. Some great insight, great
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: stories that he told as well. We'll see if we
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: can call him Hall of Fame or Darren what's in
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: after next week? So a week from today actually will
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: be the announcement on the NFL Honors. Maybe Darren might
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: find out a little bit earlier in the day. He's
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: going to be there. I'll be there, so that that
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: means we will not have a show next Thursday. Just
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: going to have one next week on a Cowboys storyline
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday at one o'clock. We will not have two
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: next week. All right, let's get back to the phone lines,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Josh and Chicago is next.
• 31:31
  Speaker 12: Hey, Nick, long time, no talk. How are you doing?
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: All right? First first time caller.
• 31:35
  Speaker 15: No, I've called it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: I think this is my third or fourth.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Let's do it anyways, for Ray in Michigan, because we
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: we go for you and for Ray so awesome. Yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: how you doing, Josh?
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: Not too bad? How are you doing?
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I'm great?
• 31:48
  Speaker 12: A little bum daddy to talk to Woody, But I
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: hope he gets into the hall. He's you know, I'm
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: praying for him. He's an awesome guy on and off
• 31:55
  Speaker 12: the field.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: So really, I.
• 31:57
  Speaker 12: Hope he gets there.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: So yeah, I've been trying to call for a couple
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: of weeks, even with the time change. I hope that
• 32:04
  Speaker 12: you're still getting a lot of calls. I'm here to
• 32:06
  Speaker 12: the wheels fall off man.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, Yeah, we're doing good. We're doing
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: pretty good with the with the time change and a
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: lot of the same same callers. We got a few
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: first timers, but you know, they they they follow us,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: so which is great.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: The one thing that I will say is, you know,
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: I'm a bit bummed to see Dan Quinn go to
• 32:23
  Speaker 12: somewhere in the division. But I do think the change
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: will be good. I really hope that this team can
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: can just improve on its penalties next season. I think
• 32:31
  Speaker 12: that that's you know, we talked about the run defense
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: a lot, but I think that there's been penalties that
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: put them behind the change and that's something that starts
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: with the head coach in my eyes, and Mike's gotta
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: do better at.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I agree, I agree. I mean the players
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: have to you know, it's it's on the players too,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: but but yeah, I mean it all funnels up to
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: the head coach as well, and uh and and and
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: the GM and owner. I mean that's because the players
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: that you put out there, you know, some some of
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: the guys are repeat offenders here and like so you know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: at some point, are they worth it? You have to
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: figure that out. Are they worth it? Are they good
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: enough when they're actually making plays to offset all of
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: the penalties, and if they're not, move on. Kelvin Joseph
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: was another guy like that. I mean, just playing on
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: special teams, causing getting a lot of penalties. They had
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: to get rid of them, you know, and so and
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: there may be others on the team. I like that
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I like having Sam Williams around. But I mean
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: the impact, right is what you're saying, and I mean
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: his impact is a way for the penalties ye are
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: worth better.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, after the call, I'll have a point about Sam
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Williams as well. Do you have anything else, Josh?
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: I actually was gonna ask Woody, but something gets too.
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: I was gonna ask him if he has any Nate
• 33:45
  Speaker 12: new stories. I don't know if you might have any.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Uh well, but I well, my stories aren't the same
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: as Nate. Yeah, I got plenty of Nate stories. But
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: I should wait till he comes back. I'll get him
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: on here again.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Nate.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: It was like I had some Nate stories before I
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: even started working here.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: He uh uh, he's still He pushed me on the
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: sidelines my very first year. I wasn't worth the Cowboys yet,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: h my very first year, but I was. I was
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: in the media and I was probably weighing like one
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty pounds seriously, and Nate, just Nate was
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: a pulling guard on a goal line play and just
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: ran and I was nowhere near him. He was about
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: you know, two yards this way, but he went right
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: next to me and just decided to just shove me
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: for no reason. I think he just said, if I'm
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: gonna run thirty forty yards, I don't hit someone. And
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: he just you know, and him just shoving me. I
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: mean almost fell down, you know. I I'll never forget that.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I don't know why.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know why Nate had to do that. But yeah,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: so anyways, uh, we we've we've definitely h had some
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: great stories backward, but not not as like what you
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: know would he had of course, different different stories there
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: with him. So anyways, thanks, thanks, yeah, thanks for the call, Josh,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: appreciate that. All right, let's go. I was gonna say
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: something about Sam Williams where you know a lot of
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: people kind of have that opinion like, hey, if he's
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: just gonna play special teams and he's gonna have penalties,
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: is it worth it? And and and that's fair. The
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: part that that could be something to watch now is
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: look at the free agents that are out there now.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: On your unrestricted free agents, You've got Doran Armstrong you've
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: got Dante Fowler. Faller's one guy that did play for
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: him for dan Quinn in Atlanta and in Dallas. Dorrin
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Armstrong's best, best career, best years of his career have
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: been here with dan Quinn. So could be situations where
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: these guys maybe maybe they leave, maybe the Cowboys can't
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: re sign them both or any of them. And that's
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: where you've got a third year player in Sam Williams
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: that you know, maybe it's time for him to to
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: you know, the light bulb to come on and to
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: turn the corner and play a lot more so, you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: and that's that's the cycle of how things are supposed
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: to go. You draft the guy in the second round.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: By his third year, you need to be starting. And
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: so I think that, you know, they may give him
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: that opportunity to do that, but it's it's hold your
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: breath with him because you know, like we've seen, there
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: have been certainly been some some penalties issues with him.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Sebastian and Savannah. Sebastian, you're next,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Good afternoon, and I hope you guys are having a
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: brilliant year so far.
• 36:19
  Speaker 15: We're up to February now, so listen, I'm gonna sum
• 36:21
  Speaker 15: this whole season up in the most beautiful way possible.
• 36:25
  Speaker 15: Remember when you were a kid and your parents were
• 36:26
  Speaker 15: telling you they're going to take you across the country
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: to like an amusement park and you're all excited and
• 36:31
  Speaker 15: that's training camp, and you're like looking at all the
• 36:33
  Speaker 15: rides on the schedule and you're like, oh man, this
• 36:35
  Speaker 15: is gonna be great, and you're like, I'm gonna say
• 36:36
  Speaker 15: the best ride for last. Right, you get to the
• 36:39
  Speaker 15: amusement park. You're having a good Some of the rides
• 36:40
  Speaker 15: are good, some of the rides are bad, some of
• 36:42
  Speaker 15: the rides are terrible. But then you get to that
• 36:44
  Speaker 15: big ride and you're like, yes, I've been waiting all
• 36:46
  Speaker 15: day long. I've been in line for over an hour.
• 36:48
  Speaker 15: And you get on that ride and the people coming
• 36:51
  Speaker 15: off the ride before you're crying and throwing up, and
• 36:53
  Speaker 15: you're like, ah, they're socked. I'll be great. Then you
• 36:55
  Speaker 15: get on there and it's a great ride, and it
• 36:58
  Speaker 15: starts and you get to the first loop and someone
• 37:00
  Speaker 15: skills their coffee on machine and you get stuck in
• 37:03
  Speaker 15: that loop for two and a half hours and you're miserable.
• 37:06
  Speaker 15: And people are crying and throwing up and they're upset,
• 37:09
  Speaker 15: and your head is banging because you're upside down. And
• 37:12
  Speaker 15: then they finally fixed the machine right and you start
• 37:15
  Speaker 15: to finish the rest of the ride, but at that
• 37:16
  Speaker 15: point you're so tired and just exasperated. You just want
• 37:18
  Speaker 15: to go home. And that was the end of the season.
• 37:21
  Speaker 15: And it's unfortunate and it sucks because it sounds like
• 37:23
  Speaker 15: we're losing dan Quinn and stuff like that. And I
• 37:25
  Speaker 15: really had a question for what mister Woodson as well.
• 37:28
  Speaker 15: But that was basically the season. We had all these
• 37:31
  Speaker 15: great rides, Jimmy Johnson getting into the Ringham Honor finally,
• 37:35
  Speaker 15: and then you get to the final ride that you've
• 37:36
  Speaker 15: been waiting on the entire time, and it's stumped, and
• 37:40
  Speaker 15: not for reasons that you could ever even figure out
• 37:42
  Speaker 15: ahead of time, you know. I look at that last
• 37:44
  Speaker 15: week seventeen game against seventeen, Yeah, week seventeen game against
• 37:48
  Speaker 15: Washington when he dove for the play I'm talking about Gilmore,
• 37:51
  Speaker 15: and I was like, you didn't have.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: To do that.
• 37:55
  Speaker 15: I literally was like, why you didn't have to do that?
• 37:58
  Speaker 15: And you knew he was hurt in the way that
• 38:00
  Speaker 15: he got he was sitting down there, and I was like,
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: there was no reason for us to do that. We
• 38:04
  Speaker 15: had the lead. You didn't have to sell out for
• 38:06
  Speaker 15: that play. That's something that you do maybe in the playoffs.
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: I think had he been fully healthy, our defense may
• 38:11
  Speaker 15: have looked a little better. I don't know if we
• 38:12
  Speaker 15: would have stopped him or if it would have changed anything,
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: but I think we would have looked better and the
• 38:16
  Speaker 15: play calling would have been a.
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: Little bit better.
• 38:17
  Speaker 15: Injuries definitely robbed some of the defense, So I don't
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: put one hundred percent of the bad defensive calls and
• 38:23
  Speaker 15: playing on Dan Quinn. You gotta go out there and execute.
• 38:27
  Speaker 15: So going forward, if Dan's not there, I don't know
• 38:30
  Speaker 15: if that's one hundred percent confirm or now that he's
• 38:31
  Speaker 15: going to the commanders, but if he's not there, is
• 38:34
  Speaker 15: the experiments of having safeties play linebackers and linebackers do
• 38:38
  Speaker 15: whatever played defensive lineman over. Are we gonna have safeties
• 38:41
  Speaker 15: and we're gonna have linebackers for this next generation? Is
• 38:44
  Speaker 15: that something that you think we need to look at
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: going forward? Before I leave, I loved all the shows.
• 38:48
  Speaker 15: You guys did an amazing job keeping our spirits hide
• 38:51
  Speaker 15: this season, this has been one of the coolest shows ever.
• 38:54
  Speaker 15: To call in and talk to Rod Woodson and Nate
• 38:56
  Speaker 15: Newton's on the show and stuff like that, but to
• 38:58
  Speaker 15: hear the fans rob Vegas and everybody, all the young
• 39:01
  Speaker 15: women and men who called love you guys. Shout out
• 39:04
  Speaker 15: to everybody. It's gonna be all right, Yeah, We're gonna
• 39:07
  Speaker 15: be fine.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Have a great day, all right, thanks Smash. I had
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: a hard time keeping up with the You know, I
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: love analogies, I mean as much as the next one,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: But man, I was I was struggling there. You know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: not that I'm a not that I've been on a
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: ton of roller coasters myself, but I mean stuck in
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: for a couple hours, I mean that's sounds kind of traumatic, actually,
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: So I don't know. I get the point though. I
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: think just just you know, all the build up and
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: then boom over off season. Now we're doing a draft
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: show just like that. I mean, we should be. We
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: should all. We all thought there was a chance to
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: go to Vegas for the Super Bowl and it just
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: didn't didn't happen. Ask for the question about the linebackers safety,
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: you know, who knows you know what's gonna happen here
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: with the defensive coordinator, new new coordinator, new scheme, you'd hope.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: And so as much as I like Dan Quinn and
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I and in the last couple of years, I didn't
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: you know, I didn't want to see him leave. You
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: know now that they have to make some changes. You
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: have to have some things that you want to be
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: excited about. And uh, I think whoever the coordinator is
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: there needs to be a little bit more of an
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: emphasis on the run. It has to be And and
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: I think you know, anytime you you you do mismatches,
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: it's a mismatch for a reason. It's a mismatch both ways.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: In the NBA, if you played five guards, you're probably
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: gonna get the ball up the court and pass it
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: around and probably get some open shots. But if you miss,
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: you're not getting the rebound, you know, So so just
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: because of the mismatch on one end and out the other.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: So if you play undersized linebackers, yeah, they can fly
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: around the ball maybe and then and and chase it
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: and and and you know, make some plays. But but
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: when it gets hat on a hat and their guys
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: are bigger than you, look what happens. So I do
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: think that whoever the coordinators needs to be a little
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: bit more emphasis on the run, and with that probably
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: means bigger linebackers. All right, let's go to Bill in
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: New Haven, Connecticut.
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, how you doing, buddy?
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Good Bill? How are you good man?
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: Thanks? Hey. I just want to touch real quickly on
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: the things Jerry said yesterday, because I think there's a
• 41:20
  Speaker 11: misconception as fans. We hear all in, right, and we think,
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: oh wow, they're gonna go out, they're gonna get Chris Jones,
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: they're gonna get this guy or this guy. But if
• 41:30
  Speaker 11: you really listening to what Jerry said his definition of
• 41:35
  Speaker 11: all in, and he mentioned these three players several times,
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: and it was Lamb's, Parsons and Prescott, I think his
• 41:43
  Speaker 11: definition of all in is an all in financial commitment
• 41:47
  Speaker 11: to keeping those players that they drafted and they built
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: the roster up. So I just think that the fans
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: need to prepare himself for when they hear all in.
• 41:59
  Speaker 11: It's easy right now to say, oh, yeah, things are
• 42:01
  Speaker 11: gonna be different this year. We're gonna go out and
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: we're gonna be players before Week three in free agency.
• 42:06
  Speaker 11: But I just don't think that's what he means by
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: all in. And I think there's a huge disconnect by
• 42:13
  Speaker 11: between what the franchise thinks all in is and what
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: we as fans think call in and you and I'm
• 42:20
  Speaker 11: starting I was gonna say, you've hit on it this.
• 42:25
  Speaker 11: They think they're close. Whether we agree with it, whether
• 42:28
  Speaker 11: you agree with it, it doesn't matter. They do think
• 42:32
  Speaker 11: they're close, and that's what makes it frustrating by them
• 42:36
  Speaker 11: kind of saying two things at the same time. Well,
• 42:38
  Speaker 11: we're close, but we're not going all in. But I
• 42:41
  Speaker 11: just think what it comes down to is there's a
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: huge disconnect between they're all in, which is a financial
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: commitment of being all in, and what we as fans
• 42:49
  Speaker 11: want to see as.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Being all Let's break it down because I mean the
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: term all in. We know what it's referencing, right, you
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: play poker? Yeah, what does all in mean? It means
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: you're pushing all of your chips in for this hand,
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: all of them are in. Everything I've got is going
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: to the middle. And I think I don't know this.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: Jerry might be looking at it from a salary cap standpoint,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: going for me to pay Dak, for me to pay
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Micah and for me to pay CD that might be
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: all my chips, right, I mean that's you know he's
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: thinking from that name. Will it be all No, probably not,
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: but it's gonna be a lot. And so I think
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: that's that might be what he's thinking. And I'm not
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying, you know, he's right or wrong or whatever.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: And you're exactly right because you're all in. Is getting
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: those those free agents that you're talking about, all all
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: the top ones at each position that you need and
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: just trading next year's you know, next year's number one
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: for somebody like that. That to me is all in.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna trade next year's one for guy that will
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: help me right now.
• 44:02
  Speaker 11: See, I see, And I think quickly, I know you
• 44:04
  Speaker 11: got to go. I think they think all in. And listen,
• 44:07
  Speaker 11: they made the trade for Gilmour, they made the trade
• 44:09
  Speaker 11: for Cooks. Good trades, but there were trades at their
• 44:13
  Speaker 11: price for players that were Pro bowlers. We speak about
• 44:17
  Speaker 11: game changers. We're talking about going and getting players that
• 44:21
  Speaker 11: actually are still all pros or Pro bowlers. And and
• 44:24
  Speaker 11: that's the difference. And uh, quickly with the thing with
• 44:29
  Speaker 11: this happening today with Quinn it's hard to preach continuity,
• 44:33
  Speaker 11: which I was okay with bringing McCarthy back, when the
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: entire half of the coaching staff of the building. Not
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: the entire I'm being hyperbolic, but a lot of coaches
• 44:41
  Speaker 11: are leaving, so there's not a lot of continuity coming back.
• 44:45
  Speaker 11: Why you're right, I don't but I just think based
• 44:50
  Speaker 11: on things that I've read, quotes from Al Harris from
• 44:54
  Speaker 11: the past, and the relationship with Jill Witt and Quinn,
• 44:58
  Speaker 11: that there's a high potential for them to Okay, so
• 45:01
  Speaker 11: if you're going to say we want to build on
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: what we have, which is fine, more than fair. You've
• 45:06
  Speaker 11: been twelve and five for three straight years, you should
• 45:09
  Speaker 11: also have the fourth sight to also realize, and I'm
• 45:12
  Speaker 11: sure they do, that you might lose half of your
• 45:14
  Speaker 11: staff as well. So it kind of takes the legs
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: out on the continuity argument.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, thanks for the call, Bill, appreciate good good stuff there.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Let me just throw out a couple of things about
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: the NFL rules. When in terms of that the coaches,
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: every coach on the staff other than receivers, coach Robert
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: Prince is under contract. So according to the NFL rules,
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: the only two positions that whether you have a contract
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: or not, the only two coaching positions that you have
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: to let them leave for is a head coach and
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: a defensive and a coordinator an offense, defense, or special
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: teams coordinator. So Dan Quinn is the new coach, will
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: be the new coach of Washington Commanders, and I believe
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: he could take one guy with him to be his coordinator,
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: but he can't take more than that because they're all
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: under contract. They can ask for permission, and if the
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Cowboys wanted to make a change there and wanted to
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: let a guy out of his contract or whatever, they
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: can do that. So I'm not saying that it will
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: only be one. But if the Cowboys are like, no, no,
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: we're not letting you take everybody over there, they don't
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: have to. It's not and it's nothing about a promotion
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: from one spot to another. It's to be a coordinator.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: And I think the NFL has gotten they understand all
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: the cute titles of passing game, run game coordinator, assistant,
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: head coach, all this kind of stuff. Now you either
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: you're a coordinator or that's it. So I don't think
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys, if they don't want to they can hold
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: on to all but at least one of their defensive coaches,
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: if that's what dan Quayn is trying to do. All right,
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Dylan and Northport, Florida.
• 47:01
  Speaker 14: Hey Mix, how's it going good?
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: How are you doing good?
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: You altered me for a loop today. I tried calling
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: in that one fifty five. I guess it'd be twelve
• 47:08
  Speaker 14: fifty five ye time, but it was already busy. I'm like,
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: ane of these guys were eager today to get in here,
• 47:12
  Speaker 14: and I turn it on and you'll already halfway into
• 47:14
  Speaker 14: this thing.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry we did. I did put it out on
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Twitter or x whatever it's called, yeah, a couple of times,
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: but yeah, yeah, and announced it last in the last
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: show as well. So yeah, I figured that would happened
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: though to some you know, if people have lives, you know,
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: they don't just.
• 47:31
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm not a great listener, so they work on
• 47:34
  Speaker 14: my listening skills. I actually I want to talk about
• 47:38
  Speaker 14: the same thing that a last I was talking about.
• 47:39
  Speaker 14: It's funny you mentioned that about Jerry. I think I
• 47:43
  Speaker 14: see it a bit differently because Jerry specifically said they're
• 47:47
  Speaker 14: not building for the future. So and Jerry's not getting
• 47:50
  Speaker 14: any younger here. Let's be real, right, So I don't
• 47:53
  Speaker 14: know how much he's got left in the tank. Hopefully
• 47:56
  Speaker 14: a lot more, but you know, whatever we'll see. But
• 47:59
  Speaker 14: he specifically say is not building for the future. So
• 48:01
  Speaker 14: to me, that means there are some deals that will
• 48:04
  Speaker 14: probably get done, like a DAK extension. But some of
• 48:06
  Speaker 14: these deals are going to free up cap space that
• 48:08
  Speaker 14: also allows you to then pursue these all pro guys
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: or these high rice free agents. So I feel like,
• 48:15
  Speaker 14: and I get why people don't trust you. We haven't
• 48:18
  Speaker 14: won anything since the dinosaurs roamed the earth, and you know,
• 48:21
  Speaker 14: he talks lots of a lot of things, so I
• 48:23
  Speaker 14: get why people aren't necessarily willing to jump in and
• 48:26
  Speaker 14: trust them until they see it. But I just have
• 48:29
  Speaker 14: this feeling that, especially if we see a DAK extension,
• 48:31
  Speaker 14: I feel like they may go after a high end
• 48:34
  Speaker 14: defensive tackle, maybe a linebacker, running back for sure, and
• 48:39
  Speaker 14: maybe a center or a certain combination of those things.
• 48:42
  Speaker 14: So that's what I'm expecting, and I think the chips
• 48:44
  Speaker 14: will fall once that DAK extension is completed. Yeah, I
• 48:48
  Speaker 14: just want to get your thoughts on that.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: I agree. I mean, I think I think the Dak
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: extension if that, if that happens, that that's going to
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: be that that's going to be like the first domino
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: in a lot of things. And if it doesn't happen
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: and they're just going to go off of one year
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: for Dak, you know, at this fifty nine million price tag,
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: then I think that that kind of would would symbol
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: a lot of things of what of where they they're
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: thinking here moving forward and maybe this is just a
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: one year thing. Same with McCarthy and all that. So
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: I think if you're going to be players and really
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: give everybody a chance to do something, then they're probably
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: going to have to extend that. That's why this is
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: a tough situation because they they have Dak does have
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: a lot more leverage here in this in this situation.
• 49:36
  Speaker 14: So yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And then before I go,
• 49:40
  Speaker 14: I guess, toss you a little bomb here and then
• 49:42
  Speaker 14: take off. Jesse Holly what he said about Mike. I
• 49:45
  Speaker 14: just want to get your thoughts on that and his
• 49:48
  Speaker 14: comments on Michah maybe not being committed to play linebacker,
• 49:51
  Speaker 14: don't want to put in the work or whatever you said.
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: I'm not sure if you heard that or not.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, I think we all heard about Yeah,
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: MICA's mom heard that. Yeah, it happened. Okay, thanks for
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: the call. I don't think my I don't think Jesse
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: talked about it on yesterday show, Chris did you you listened?
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: Did they talk about it yesterday, Chris Bean?
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: Is he on the phone? No?
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: They did not talk about Well, if Jesse's not talk
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: about it on his show, I'm not gonna talk about
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: it as well. Let me let me just give him
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: my thoughts on on Micah Parsons from from what I see,
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: because I mean that's the thing, like it's we were
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: in the locker room, uh some you know, I mean
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: for a few minutes there, you know, three times a
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: week or so, and and we hear some stuff and
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: and we you can kind of tell, I mean I've
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: seen it. You can tell that Micah. Micah's mindset is
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: different than some other players. It really is, just just
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: from what I've observed. I mean, he he wants to win. Uh,
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: he wants to play well. He wants to play well.
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: He I mean when he doesn't and and the team wins,
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: I seen him kind of upset about the way he
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: played or the way, you know, even though the team won,
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: he holds himself to the highest standard there. If that's
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: if that's considered selfish or whatever, then then maybe at
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: times he is. But that's not always a bad word.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: That that word in life isn't always bad because sometimes
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: if you're not looking out for yourself, who will. So again,
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: it's it's hard to judge a player like that because
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: he's unique. He's unique in his own way, and the
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: players know it too. I've seen it. After a Giants
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: game last season, they had seven sacks, he didn't have one,
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: and then and they were kind of joking with him.
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: The players were that, you know, Mike's gonna be mad now,
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: you know, everyone got a sack he didn't, even though
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: we all know that probably he was the reason for
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: most of those sacks, just but just his presence alone.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: So I you know, I'm trying to to you know.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: I read what what Micah's mom said about him, and
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: and you know, and it sounded just like what a
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: mom would say about her son. I just think he's
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: he's probably misunderstood a little bit. He definitely wants to win.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: He definitely wants to to be the reason why they win.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: And and and like I said, he holds himself to
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: the highest of standards, and so you know, I'm going
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: to try to give him the benefit of the doubt
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: a little bit on that and and see see what happens.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's kind of said he's committed to
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: to make it, you know, to turning this thing around
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: and and and getting even better next year. And you know,
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's an old it's not old school.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: That's the thing. Mike is not old school. He's not
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's he plays you know, uh, I
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: mean he's he's got his own podcast and he says
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: a lot of things on there, and he says things
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: that you know, some of the old school players that
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: didn't say because it's just a different error. It is
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: what it is. But I know this that that when
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: it's third and nine, you know, if you can get
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: to that point, there's nobody in the NFL I'd rather
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: have Rush in the past or than than Micah Parsons.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: And I think a lot of fans kind of feel
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: the same way.
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: You know, he's he's got like all of us, you know,
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: he's got maturing to do that that most young players do,
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: and uh, I think he's going to be doing that
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: with the Dallas Cowboys for a long time. So uh,
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that answered the question or not,
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: But that's just my take on on what I see
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: from from Micah. And you know, I think he'll, you know,
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: if he I think he'll be committed to to being
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: even a better player uh this next year. And if
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: that's that's the case, that's not good for for left
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: tackles and right tackles trying to trying to block them.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: So all right, let's go. Let's go to James in
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: New Jersey.
• 53:40
  Speaker 17: What's up, you know, following them this TV. He just
• 53:45
  Speaker 17: said about Michael getting to the quarterback on third down
• 53:49
  Speaker 17: if he really wants the kind of money who he
• 53:51
  Speaker 17: thinks he wants he going to get as a defensive
• 53:54
  Speaker 17: and he obviously doesn't want to play linebacker. He didn't
• 53:57
  Speaker 17: think so it didn't seem like it. Yeah, he should
• 54:00
  Speaker 17: maybe playing a little harder, it guess to one as well.
• 54:02
  Speaker 17: In other words, defensive end does both jobs. At this point,
• 54:06
  Speaker 17: he's just a pass rusher, So if he wants to
• 54:08
  Speaker 17: come on down the field just on third down, then
• 54:11
  Speaker 17: he's not going to get paid the twelve a kellion
• 54:13
  Speaker 17: dollars a year to be a real good defensive end. Okay,
• 54:18
  Speaker 17: now that's part of concerned. I don't understand where the
• 54:21
  Speaker 17: leadership is going to come from when you're best defensive
• 54:23
  Speaker 17: player is seeing stuff like I'm okay with I at peace?
• 54:28
  Speaker 17: That would that you would never hear somebody like Kobe
• 54:30
  Speaker 17: Bryant or Michael Jordan's to say what that would never
• 54:33
  Speaker 17: happen he said, he said, I'm at peace. That's what
• 54:39
  Speaker 17: he said, I'm at peace. No, you should never be
• 54:43
  Speaker 17: at peace with Lucy if you're going to be a
• 54:45
  Speaker 17: superstar and won't be a leader of your team because
• 54:48
  Speaker 17: you're not giving a good message to the rest of
• 54:50
  Speaker 17: your team. You know, because I because if it doesn't
• 54:53
  Speaker 17: come from here from him, I have no idea where
• 54:56
  Speaker 17: everyda is going to come from on defense because he's
• 54:58
  Speaker 17: your best player on defense. That's why, Yes, that's not
• 55:02
  Speaker 17: a good situation for us. Accessert The optics are not good.
• 55:05
  Speaker 17: He used to watch what comes out of his mouth
• 55:07
  Speaker 17: because people can take it wrong. So he has to
• 55:10
  Speaker 17: be more careful. He's going to be the leader of
• 55:12
  Speaker 17: this defense, he has to be more compizant on what's
• 55:15
  Speaker 17: coming out of his mouth, because it's too easy for
• 55:18
  Speaker 17: all of us to take it the wrong away. So
• 55:21
  Speaker 17: he'd be very clear what he's saying and make sure
• 55:24
  Speaker 17: that he's not tossing any Nelson of us, not he did,
• 55:27
  Speaker 17: but make sure that we're could that is not the case,
• 55:30
  Speaker 17: and that he's willing to do like he wants the
• 55:33
  Speaker 17: owners to do, go all in when he's on the
• 55:37
  Speaker 17: field as well. And if speaking of going all in,
• 55:42
  Speaker 17: if we're going all in this season, then they need
• 55:45
  Speaker 17: to find a way to make a deal with that
• 55:47
  Speaker 17: to maybe cut that salary cap hit in half, hopefully
• 55:52
  Speaker 17: with the multiple year extension.
• 55:55
  Speaker 21: And then you get.
• 55:58
  Speaker 17: Some linebacker to tell them from I'm sorry, I can't
• 56:01
  Speaker 17: remember the names. Oh Uh from the Ravens. Okay, they
• 56:07
  Speaker 17: have the linebackers, and and uh Jones from the Chiefs.
• 56:13
  Speaker 17: He's a free agent if you're going all in, because
• 56:16
  Speaker 17: you got to get you know, and maybe Barkley from
• 56:20
  Speaker 17: the Giants type the running back. If you're going all in, yes,
• 56:24
  Speaker 17: just go all in because you know we want to
• 56:27
  Speaker 17: win the championship. If you're gonna afterwards, we're gonna have
• 56:30
  Speaker 17: augh couple of years afterwards. But it won't make it
• 56:33
  Speaker 17: won't be any it won't be it won't make a
• 56:35
  Speaker 17: difference after that point, once we win the championship after
• 56:37
  Speaker 17: not winnings one for thirty years.
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, well thanks for the call, James.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: I'll say this though, if if you know, fans just
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: just don't have selective memory. Okay, I'm like, if just
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: just remember the way you know what you're thinking now,
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: if that's what you want, if you want, hey, I
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: hope they do. If that's the mentality is, is that
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: you want them to extend dak to cut his salary
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: cap charge this year down significantly so you can go
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: and get some of those players. Then just remember that
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: that then if it doesn't work out next year and
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: and then he's still a free agent and now you know,
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: I mean he's not a free agent. He's still under contract,
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: and now that the cap charge is way higher, and
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: it's like, what are the Cowboys doing? Why why do
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: they still invest in this guy? It's because of this
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: scenario right now for this year. So if they're going
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: to do this, then that means he's the guy and
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: you gotta be okay with that, you know. So if not,
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: then he's gonna count fifty nine million, and he's gonna
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: They're gonna try to win somehow, some way with with
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: with what they have, and they're gonna draft players and
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: play them because that's probably they're not gonna have a
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: lot of other options, and they're gonna have a younger
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: team and and try to try to win that that way,
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: and then then then it doesn't work out, then then
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: probably next year. If it doesn't work out this year,
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: then I'm sure there'll be a different coach and a
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: different quarterback, and then you're basically starting over. So you know,
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: just just remember what you're asking for. If you really
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: want them to go all in, then some of the
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: steps that it's going to take to do that is
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: probably going to mean that, you know, your quarterback is
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: going to be here for a little bit. All right,
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: let's go to H. David in Chicago.
• 58:27
  Speaker 21: Yes, sir, how you doing today?
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: Mick good Man? How are you doing good?
• 58:31
  Speaker 21: How about them Cowboys?
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: How about them?
• 58:35
  Speaker 21: I've been.
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: There, you go.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: We had to get Jimmy in there too.
• 58:40
  Speaker 21: Absolutely, here we go, when that too?
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: Is this your first Is this your first call?
• 58:45
  Speaker 21: Yes, sir?
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: Well, then guess what.
• 58:50
  Speaker 21: I've been a huge fan of the Cowboys since the nineties.
• 58:52
  Speaker 21: I'm from Chicago, so you can imagine what I've had
• 58:54
  Speaker 21: to do with sure, but I was calling because of
• 58:58
  Speaker 21: the Dan Quinn and information that just came about the
• 59:01
  Speaker 21: Washington football team. I see this as the perfect opportunity,
• 59:06
  Speaker 21: and I'm not really seeing a lot of Cowboys fans
• 59:08
  Speaker 21: discussing this. Why don't we change the scheme now to
• 59:12
  Speaker 21: a three to four put Michael Parsons at right outside linebacker.
• 59:17
  Speaker 21: This will give us an extra big body in the
• 59:19
  Speaker 21: middle to stop the run, and in my opinion, it
• 59:22
  Speaker 21: is the best thing to do for this last year
• 59:25
  Speaker 21: of McCarthy because then you can go look for your
• 59:28
  Speaker 21: next head coach based upon the three four scheme. Because
• 59:31
  Speaker 21: what I'm seeing is the offense they're producing numbers no
• 59:35
  Speaker 21: matter who the coordinator is.
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: It fields like we've.
• 59:38
  Speaker 21: Seen so many guys come in, even Jason Garrett producing
• 59:40
  Speaker 21: good numbers before with Romo and Dak. But what I
• 59:43
  Speaker 21: see is the defense is the real issue when the
• 59:46
  Speaker 21: rubber meets the road. So my call is basically centered
• 59:49
  Speaker 21: around would you be open to a three to four defense?
• 59:52
  Speaker 21: Going back to that with those Wade Phillips days because
• 59:54
  Speaker 21: I remember DeMarcus wearing at three four. He was a terror.
• 59:58
  Speaker 21: He went to the Denver Bronx, got to play in
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 21: the three to four again won a Super Bowl. Now,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 21: of course he had a Hall of Famer on the
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 21: other side as well, at the left outside linebacker.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: But I really do believe.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 21: DeMarcus Lawrence can play left outside linebacker, and in certain
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 21: packages we could always still do the nickel with the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 21: four down linemen, but I think it's smart to just
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 21: switch toward base three four just because we cannot stop
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 21: the run this day of our lives. Thank you so
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 21: much for taking my call.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: All right, good thinking. I think Chris and I talked
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: about that just today about you know, would it be
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: possible to the three to four and you've mentioned DeMarcus
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: ware and you mentioned Micah Parsons. Yes, those guys could
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: be you could make them an outside linebacker in the
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: three to four today, I mean easy. It's not so
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: much about that to me as it is the other lineman.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: Who do you have the defensive ends that are really
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: defensive tackles. Do you have those guys? You know, do
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: you have two inside linebackers that can step up and
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: make those plays. Do you have a nose tackle? You know,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: you'd have to probably sign Hankins for that. And you
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: know there's osa fit into that, you know, is he
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: is he a three to four guy? Could he fit perhaps?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: I mean I think I think great football players can
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: be great football players. One thing's always kind of annoyed
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: me when they're like, no, we can't sign this guy.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: He's not he's not a scheme fit, you know, like
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: like the Honey Badger, like Tyron Matthews. The one always
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: comes to mind, like, no, it doesn't fit the scheme.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well, he's a badass in like four other schemes,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: so why can't we just change the scheme? You know,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: Like I know it's it's different than that. But sometimes
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: I think, if you I think great players can can
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: fit into a scheme, okay, And so I think there's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: other other pieces there. I don't necessarily seeing them switching
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: to a three four unless they're committed over over time,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: you know. And that's the thing. Bill Parcells tried to
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: do that in over a couple of years. He started
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: in two thousand and five, and he was going to
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: do it for a couple of years. But what happened
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: was is they drafted where they drafted Spears, then they
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: drafted Kevin Burnett, and then later on they drafted Chris
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: Canny and Dre Ratliffe and so in one draft. So
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, we still a documentary on that we did,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: but all of those guys in one draft. And now
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: that all of a sudden, I know we can play
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: three four right now. We have the pieces in place,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: So if they can do that, I don't necessarily see
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: it happening in one year, but it might be kind
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: of a commitment that you can go to and yeah,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: I think Micah Parsons can do it. It's do you
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: have the insight pieces that would kind of were really
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: what it comes down to, all right, Joe and Stanford.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be our last caller, usually the first caller.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 13: But what's up, hey, brother? Are you today?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: I'm good? What's up?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 13: Well? I'm sorry, miss Woody, but I've got to talk
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 13: to him before, so it's only fair somebody else gets
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 13: talked to him.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 13: So I haven't been listening to the show. I just
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 13: I just called in cold here. I haven't been able
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 13: to get you while I'm in my vehicle. But my my,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 13: my question obviously is going to be about dan Quinn.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 13: When we talked the other day, we talked about, Hey,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 13: is this gonna just nothing's gonna change. Well, obviously that's not.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: Going to be the case.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 13: Now put you see about on Joe, Well, oh I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 13: got a female time. Oh you you heard the thing?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 13: That's my wife.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: You see about on?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 13: That's funny. Oh, that's funny. You heard that. So obviously
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 13: there's going to be changes. Uh. Do you feel like
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 13: that this coaching pick is going to be one hundred
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 13: percent Mike McCarthy's decision? Bid People said, Mike McCarthy's a
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 13: decision or what.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. That's a really good question.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 17: Joe.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: Uh, Well, I'll say this, none of it, None of
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: these decisions will probably be one hundred percent Mike McCarthy's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: because I think that they all pride themselves on how
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: they collaborate and and and they they don't always make
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: decisions that are one hundred percent. They get on the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: same page. But I know exactly what you're thinking and
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: why you're saying that, and it's a it's a good question. Yeah,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: he's probably gonna have some guys in mind that he
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: that he really wants. But at the same time, I'm
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: sure you know, Jerry and Steven, they're gonna have to
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: sign off on that, so they'll, i mean, they'll figure
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: it out. But but yeah, and we'll probably never know,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: you know, whether what happens down the road. But that
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: that's a that's a really good question. And and you know,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: I think if we knew the answer to that, then
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: we would know exactly what what might happen here in
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: the next year or two.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 13: Well, one thing, there are three really great candidates out.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 11: There, and I know the probably be discussed, now go
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 11: for it.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 13: Who do you got the three? And I'm gonna talk
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 13: about I'm gonna get made fun up a little bit.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 13: But there all three head coaches Rabel, uh, the coach
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 13: from the Commander's pp for guy's name now, uh, they
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 13: head coach that just got fired, and Bill Belichick. So
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 13: those are three candidates that would be real good defensive
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 13: coordinators and they're not going to be head coaches.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: This year, Okay, Ron Rivera that one that one maybe
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: could make some sense. Rabel not sure if about that.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: When he's he's trying to be a head coach, and
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: it may be a situation like McCarthy where he would
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: sit out a year and then and then we'll see Belichick.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm sorry, I just don't I don't see the greatest,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: you know, the greatest head coach of all time, just
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: not not you know, getting a job and being a
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: defensive coordinator under Mike McCarthy. I mean, just don't see
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: that happening. What a terrible situation that would be from
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: for McCarthy. I mean, seriously, forget forget losing a game.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, like if you're down at the half, I mean,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: there're gonna be people calling for you at that point.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: That this doesn't seem like a fun situation for him
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: at least, But then again, that's it's not all about that.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: I I I don't see that happening. But I think
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: Rivera would be a name that you would throw out there.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: And then Uh and Vrabel as well. I think I
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: know uh are one of our staff writers, Nick Harris
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: is working on a story on on some potential names,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: and and those two are on there. I don't think
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: Belichick is on there, but also some some in house
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: you know names as well from the Cowboys staff. And
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: but like I said, I'll reiterate, I think I think
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: some of the questions about scheme and all that it's
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: got it just like it would on offense. Okay, just
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: like if you've brought in an offensive coordinator, your first
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: question would be what what how do you how do
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: you view dak and what what are some of the
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: things you're gonna do with him? It's the same with
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: Micah Parsons. And so that's that's what I would be
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: interested in, is what what do they what do they think?
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: Where do they think he would line up? What's best
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: for him? And then also that's a one A and
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: then one B is you know, how are you gonna
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: stop the run? That's that's what they gotta do. You
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: gotta be able to stop the run. But good, good stuff,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: Like I always love when when people call in, even
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: if their opinions are kind of out there, even if
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: they've got some some outlandish you know, observations or whatever,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: you know, don't just we see the problems, try to
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: find a solution, try to come up with an answer.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: That's what I love. And so I'm never gonna say, oh,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: that's that's crazy or wild or whatever, because you know,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: here we are stuck with these questions that we don't
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: have answers to. But at least let's come up and
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: figure it out. You know, it's like going outside in
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: Texas in July and saying it's hot. Well, we all
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: know that what we're gonna do about it? You know,
• 1:07:46
