- 0:09Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. What's up? Welcome
- 0:23Speaker 3: to Cowboys Storyline. It feels like it's been a minute,
- 0:27Speaker 3: because it has been. It's been a week since we've
- 0:29Speaker 3: been on here talking Cowboys football with you guys. There
- 0:34Speaker 3: has been some changes, not the biggest of change obviously
- 0:37Speaker 3: with the Schottenheimer news last week, but Cowboys continue to
- 0:42Speaker 3: add to the coaching staff. Won't be a lot of
- 0:46Speaker 3: player personnel moves between now and the starter free agency.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Maybe a couple here and there, but the biggest news
- 0:53Speaker 3: will be from the coaching staff and then as we
- 0:55Speaker 3: get closer to free agency and the draft as well.
- 0:58Speaker 3: All right, when isday? February of the fifth. Probably could
- 1:01Speaker 3: have said that a little bit earlier, but I think
- 1:03Speaker 3: you guys know the date. Give us a call, aight,
- 1:06Speaker 3: a A eight five five two two nine seven. We
- 1:08Speaker 3: can talk for a little bit today. We can at
- 1:11Speaker 3: least an hour and a half. There is no show
- 1:14Speaker 3: after this, so uh, of course, I'm sure Chris has
- 1:17Speaker 3: got stuff to do in the back. He hasn't want
- 1:19Speaker 3: to sit and take calls all day long, but this
- 1:22Speaker 3: might be a day if you want to get in.
- 1:23Speaker 3: If you're like Man, I never get to get in,
- 1:25Speaker 3: never get to call. Today's the day. Let's go, let's
- 1:27Speaker 3: get it done. We already have two on the line.
- 1:29Speaker 3: We're going to start in New Mexico, Gary in New Mexico.
- 1:32Speaker 4: What's up, hey, Leick?
- 1:35Speaker 5: Happy off season?
- 1:36Speaker 6: Man?
- 1:36Speaker 3: All right, appreciate it. How are you doing.
- 1:38Speaker 5: I'm doing wonderful.
- 1:39Speaker 7: Now I have a Dallas Cowboys super Bowl trivia question
- 1:43Speaker 7: for you, okay, But before that, I just have to
- 1:46Speaker 7: comment on this whole coaching thing. Okay, Okay, I'm all
- 1:51Speaker 7: in with Schottenheimer. I wasn't at first, and then I
- 1:55Speaker 7: watched your interview with him that you did right after
- 1:58Speaker 7: he got hired, right and I liked what I heard.
- 2:01Speaker 7: I think this is a man that has a respect
- 2:03Speaker 7: for the history of the game and for the history
- 2:05Speaker 7: of this franchise, and that's important to me. And I
- 2:09Speaker 7: really I like the fact that they're kind of going
- 2:11Speaker 7: outside the organization and outside the box for some of
- 2:14Speaker 7: these assistant coaches. I think that's a good thing. And
- 2:17Speaker 7: had they had they not re signed Dak, had this
- 2:21Speaker 7: been a total rebuild. Then I would have really wanted
- 2:24Speaker 7: a Dion Sanders or somebody like that. But because they're
- 2:28Speaker 7: tied to DAK and CD the way that they are,
- 2:31Speaker 7: this hire makes sense. And I know a lot of
- 2:33Speaker 7: people don't agree with that.
- 2:35Speaker 5: But let's give the guy a.
- 2:36Speaker 7: Chance, man. I mean, I want him to win. I
- 2:38Speaker 7: want them to succeed. I want Schottenheimer to succeed, and
- 2:41Speaker 7: and let's just see how this thing turns out.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Yep.
- 2:46Speaker 7: But with that, but with that said, let's go back
- 2:49Speaker 7: to history. Let's have some fun.
- 2:50Speaker 8: It's Super Bowl week, right, Okay, So.
- 2:52Speaker 7: Of the Cowboys five Super Bowl teams, which one had
- 2:57Speaker 7: the most Hall of Famers? And you can include executive
- 3:00Speaker 7: branch if you want to. It doesn't change the answer.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I mean you would you would think I
- 3:09Speaker 3: would think if and I don't know this at all,
- 3:11Speaker 3: I would think right down the middle, I would think
- 3:13Speaker 3: the seventy seven seems like it crosses over the most.
- 3:18Speaker 7: That's closed. They're number two. It was the seventy one
- 3:20Speaker 7: team on the very first team because he got and
- 3:23Speaker 7: there's that, yeah, man, because you got uh, you had four,
- 3:27Speaker 7: you had Landry Brandt and Shram. You also had Ernie Stautner,
- 3:31Speaker 7: who was the defensive assistant Landry stop defense. So you
- 3:34Speaker 7: had fourteen total Hall of Famers on that seventy one team,
- 3:36Speaker 7: four in the coaches, in the front office. You had
- 3:39Speaker 7: ten players. All ten were starters, five on offense and
- 3:42Speaker 7: five on defense. And there's a lesson in that that
- 3:45Speaker 7: the Cowboys from the day can learn from. On offense,
- 3:48Speaker 7: you had Roger Staubach, rayfield Wright, Bob Hayes, Mike Ditka,
- 3:54Speaker 7: and Lance Alworth. Those are the two that are forgotten,
- 3:57Speaker 7: but that those were both acquired players that score touchdown
- 4:00Speaker 7: on that Super Bowl. And then on defense you had
- 4:02Speaker 7: Bob Lilly of course, Chuck Hallie and then three fourths
- 4:05Speaker 7: of your secondary Cliff Harris, No Renfro and Herbert.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Yeah I thought her been there.
- 4:10Speaker 7: Yeah, that's who they acquired from the Green Bay Packers.
- 4:14Speaker 7: And if you look at that team, and you know,
- 4:16Speaker 7: back then, the Cowboys were no My dad used tell
- 4:18Speaker 7: me this all the time. They were the team that
- 4:19Speaker 7: couldn't win the Big One. They had never done it
- 4:21Speaker 7: before seventy one. They were chokers, is how they were viewed.
- 4:24Speaker 7: And you look at how they built that seventy one team,
- 4:27Speaker 7: those first two Super Bowl teams. They did it through
- 4:29Speaker 7: the draft, they found undrafted free agency, but they also
- 4:32Speaker 7: acquired players from other teams like Mike Ditka and Lance
- 4:35Speaker 7: Alworth and Herb Battery, and those guys were critical to
- 4:38Speaker 7: winning that first Super Bowl.
- 4:40Speaker 5: So my point for that for Brian.
- 4:42Speaker 7: Schottenheimer is give him the tools that he needs and
- 4:46Speaker 7: use every tool in the toolbox.
- 4:47Speaker 9: You know, you've got to be.
- 4:49Speaker 7: Willing to use every tool in the toolbox to acquire
- 4:52Speaker 7: talent for this team. So I hope that I hope
- 4:55Speaker 7: that they do that. But anyway, love your show. Let
- 4:58Speaker 7: the other callers get.
- 4:58Speaker 10: On, man.
- 4:59Speaker 7: I appreciate taking my call. Thanks.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Thanks Gary. A good mix of the trivia and and
- 5:06Speaker 3: the history, but also current stuff as well. That reminds me.
- 5:10Speaker 3: We have a series going on this week on on
- 5:12Speaker 3: our website. Tommy Yarish is down in New Orleans and
- 5:16Speaker 3: he got a chance to talk to Brandon Aubrey and
- 5:20Speaker 3: Zach Martin yesterday. But he's also doing a series on
- 5:26Speaker 3: the five Super Bowl teams the Cowboys have had and
- 5:30Speaker 3: what those teams had that this team needs. And of
- 5:34Speaker 3: course you could always say, well they had in it,
- 5:36Speaker 3: you know, or Troy or whatever, but but just just
- 5:39Speaker 3: what what you know? What was missing? Some specific things?
- 5:42Speaker 3: I think today we're on the third one of the
- 5:45Speaker 3: ninety two team, so be on the lookout for that.
- 5:48Speaker 3: It's a it's an interesting series called Superpowers what those
- 5:51Speaker 3: Super Bowl teams had and what made them what they are.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Let's keep it rolling here. Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida
- 5:57Speaker 3: is our next caller.
- 5:59Speaker 5: What's up, my man?

- 6:27Speaker 3: So all right, mom, what do you got?
- 6:30Speaker 14: So?
- 6:30Speaker 12: You know?
- 6:31Speaker 5: Super Bowls?
- 6:31Speaker 12: When they announced the Hall.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Of Famers, right, it's correct?
- 6:38Speaker 13: Is Darren still in it?
- 6:39Speaker 12: Or I should say mister Woodson because I don't know him,
- 6:41Speaker 12: but I feel like I call him wood He need to.
- 6:43Speaker 5: Be my friend.
- 6:45Speaker 3: He would be he would be.
- 6:46Speaker 12: He just seems like such a good guy. I mean,
- 6:48Speaker 12: I've said this before, but.
- 6:50Speaker 3: I don't think he would actually like mister Woodson. I
- 6:53Speaker 3: don't you know, I don't think that would be. He'd
- 6:55Speaker 3: be like, come on, come on, man, call me Darren
- 6:57Speaker 3: or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, he's still he's one of the finalists.
- 7:03Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 7:04Speaker 12: Well, you know what, we're hoping and praying for him
- 7:06Speaker 12: to get in. And and more so than that, man,
- 7:08Speaker 12: the guy deserves it. A good Christian, a good person,
- 7:11Speaker 12: a people person. He represents everything the NFL should be
- 7:14Speaker 12: the young kids.
- 7:15Speaker 5: You know, is.
- 7:17Speaker 12: Awesome, right person and you're lucky to have him in
- 7:19Speaker 12: your life, that's for sure.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Well you're you're right about that, and that to me
- 7:24Speaker 3: that that stuff matters. I mean being in the Hall
- 7:28Speaker 3: of fam mean, there are there's a lot of great
- 7:30Speaker 3: players that that aren't aren't in it. There's a there's
- 7:33Speaker 3: a lot of great people that weren't in it either.
- 7:36Speaker 3: But but you know, he's a combination of both and
- 7:39Speaker 3: and and if you can't and if you weren't an
- 7:41Speaker 3: awesome player, you you're not you know, even in the conversation,
- 7:45Speaker 3: I get that this isn't about Sunday school teachers and
- 7:48Speaker 3: all that. I I get that, but he he just
- 7:52Speaker 3: like you said, you said it best. I mean, he's
- 7:54Speaker 3: everything that the league would want in a player from
- 7:58Speaker 3: top to bottom. So it's it's it's amazing that it's
- 8:00Speaker 3: taken this long.
- 8:02Speaker 12: Yeah, I agree.
- 8:03Speaker 5: I agree.
- 8:03Speaker 12: You know, it's shames me when guys like the player
- 8:07Speaker 12: I think. You know what I'm talking about is ourselves
- 8:10Speaker 12: what I call them. I mean, a phenomenal player. Yeah,
- 8:16Speaker 12: he doesn't come with the NFL. You know he shouldn't anyways.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Well that's what I'm saying. You got to be above
- 8:22Speaker 3: and beyond all of that. And he was talking about
- 8:25Speaker 3: t Owins. He was like he was every bit the
- 8:28Speaker 3: player good enough to be in there. And you know,
- 8:32Speaker 3: we we can go on and on about about Teo.
- 8:35Speaker 3: I mean, guy really didn't get in trouble anything like that.
- 8:39Speaker 3: He was he was an interesting person in the locker
- 8:42Speaker 3: room and he you know, he kind of affected what
- 8:45Speaker 3: what the dynamics of your locker room. But as far
- 8:49Speaker 3: as the player goes, I mean, he's had three really
- 8:51Speaker 3: good seasons here in Dallas. He's one of the best receivers.
- 8:55Speaker 12: Phenomenal.
- 8:56Speaker 14: I agree, I agree.
- 8:57Speaker 3: But but but yeah, that's the thing with.
- 9:01Speaker 12: You after the word but right, yeah, all right, so hey,
- 9:04Speaker 12: I'm happy with the new coaching at least I'm hopeful
- 9:07Speaker 12: for the new coaching. And I know you're gonna take
- 9:09Speaker 12: a lot of calls, but I just wanted to touch
- 9:11Speaker 12: on Woody because I know we're getting closer.
- 9:14Speaker 5: Man, I hope the best for him.
- 9:15Speaker 3: All right, Well, I appreciate you, thanks, Robbie. Appreciate that.
- 9:20Speaker 14: You know.
- 9:20Speaker 3: That reminds me we were getting close to the end
- 9:23Speaker 3: of this fiscal year. I guess you would say for
- 9:27Speaker 3: the storyline, which means it's getting time start looking at
- 9:31Speaker 3: the all storyline team for twenty twenty four, twenty five
- 9:36Speaker 3: T shirts. We'll have some T shirts again this year.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Trying to figure out the the uh we figured out
- 9:43Speaker 3: the design is not going to change the color we
- 9:46Speaker 3: might might might go to more of a bluish this year.
- 9:49Speaker 3: But trying to figure out the team, who's going to
- 9:52Speaker 3: be on it, all that stuff, And uh, I say
- 9:55Speaker 3: that with Robbie, it called Robbie, I think you gotta
- 9:58Speaker 3: I think he got a spot. Think you you've you've
- 10:00Speaker 3: figured out a way to get in there. You've called
- 10:02Speaker 3: a lot. Had some great calls when you do call,
- 10:05Speaker 3: not to give away the team, but pretty good shot there.
- 10:09Speaker 3: All right, let's keep it going here to uh, let's
- 10:12Speaker 3: go to Carolina. He's driving in Tyler, Texas, Carolina. What's up?
- 10:23Speaker 5: You know?
- 10:23Speaker 11: I'm back with it, man, Yeah, I was ready of all. Man.
- 10:26Speaker 10: How you doing?
- 10:27Speaker 12: Man?
- 10:27Speaker 6: Going great?
- 10:29Speaker 3: How's it? How's it going there on the road. You
- 10:31Speaker 3: always seem to be in that Texas area. I mean,
- 10:35Speaker 3: are you Are you just back and forth orre you
- 10:37Speaker 3: just kind of in the circle there in Texas?
- 10:40Speaker 6: I got it.
- 10:40Speaker 10: I'm back and forth. I got to dedicate it route.
- 10:42Speaker 10: I go from South Carolina to California and back. Yeah,
- 10:49Speaker 10: goes to the west coast.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Man, But Texas, I'm not the best for geography, but
- 10:54Speaker 3: Texas is the best way. This goes straight through, straight through.
- 10:59Speaker 10: For me, he is the best way because I don't
- 11:01Speaker 10: like the mountains and all the weather chains. So I
- 11:04Speaker 10: just stay out of forty and let forty be forty.
- 11:06Speaker 10: I got it, and I just come through Jixas. You know,
- 11:09Speaker 10: I might be taking it a little bit longer, but
- 11:11Speaker 10: at least I know it's the safe way.
- 11:12Speaker 3: They are fair like that, all right, what do you got.
- 11:16Speaker 10: Okay Man A couple of things. Did they come out
- 11:20Speaker 10: with the official offense coordinator yet or they're still up.
- 11:23Speaker 15: In the air.
- 11:25Speaker 3: No, they hired the offensive coordinator and now I forgot
- 11:31Speaker 3: his name. No, Clayton Adams. Clayton Adams felled with a K.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Clayton Adams. He's he is like he's been an offensive
- 11:38Speaker 3: line coach with Arizona. And from everybody that I that
- 11:44Speaker 3: I've kind of talked to about this one and people
- 11:47Speaker 3: that have around the league that this is a good one.
- 11:50Speaker 3: This is a good good get for Shottenheimer. Just a
- 11:53Speaker 3: young mind that a lot of people really liked. And
- 11:56Speaker 3: so he was an offensive line coach. That's how you
- 11:58Speaker 3: make him. That's how you promote him. You promote them
- 12:00Speaker 3: because you call him the offensive coordinator even though he's
- 12:03Speaker 3: probably not. He's not going to call the play. Schottenheimer
- 12:05Speaker 3: is going to do that. But that's how you get
- 12:07Speaker 3: players or sorry, coaches out of contract by promoting him
- 12:13Speaker 3: that way. So he's the offensive coordinator, same as Schottenheimer
- 12:16Speaker 3: was not calling the plays last year, but the offensive coordinator.
- 12:19Speaker 10: So is it an in house high or we got somewhere?
- 12:23Speaker 3: No, he's from Arizona last year. He's the Arizona offensive
- 12:26Speaker 3: last year. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah?
- 12:29Speaker 10: Oh man, Well, I mean I like to said, I
- 12:32Speaker 10: really don't really know too much about them. It's a
- 12:35Speaker 10: whole bunch of you know, new stuff going on from
- 12:37Speaker 10: when it sounds right everybody. So they won't change. So
- 12:41Speaker 10: I mean, I guess that, you know, change is the
- 12:44Speaker 10: trajectory of how it's going to go next year hopefully anyways.
- 12:48Speaker 10: But man, my my thing is I just I want
- 12:50Speaker 10: to I want to see what they do with my guys.
- 12:53Speaker 10: You know, I'm bring them up Deuce Bond because I
- 12:55Speaker 10: think this is last year right on the contract.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Yeah, you drafted. This is his third year, right, he
- 13:04Speaker 3: should have four years when draft picks have four years
- 13:07Speaker 3: on there other than first rounders, but you have four
- 13:10Speaker 3: four years, so this is just his third year. He's
- 13:14Speaker 3: not up for a contract. I think he's I think
- 13:16Speaker 3: it's close to like from for decision making, like what,
- 13:20Speaker 3: you know, I don't think he would have This is
- 13:23Speaker 3: probably the do or die year for him though. If
- 13:25Speaker 3: he if he doesn't have a great training camp or preseason,
- 13:30Speaker 3: you know, I could see them moving on. He hasn't
- 13:33Speaker 3: done done a Ton. But but then again, the new scheme,
- 13:36Speaker 3: maybe they're going to figure out some some things to
- 13:39Speaker 3: do with him.
- 13:41Speaker 10: Yeah, I would, I would hope. So, man, I mean
- 13:43Speaker 10: I already buve jersey.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you're invested in Yeah, I understand, I understand
- 13:50Speaker 3: why you would want want that to happen. Those jerseys
- 13:53Speaker 3: are aren't aren't cheap?
- 13:56Speaker 10: No, A couple of bucks, definitely not.
- 13:58Speaker 5: Yeah, especially well play the whole.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:02Speaker 10: I've been waiting though, I've been saiful.
- 14:04Speaker 3: Yeah that's cool.
- 14:06Speaker 10: Yeah, that's I've never really ain't got too much, you know,
- 14:09Speaker 10: not too much really going on. Man. Hey, I heard
- 14:12Speaker 10: you say getting that that team together. Man, you can't
- 14:16Speaker 10: give out who's gonna be on that. But I hope
- 14:18Speaker 10: I got my spot in there. Man, it's on a faithful,
- 14:21Speaker 10: faithful caller.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Man.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Yep, it's gonna be some tough decisions. But uh, I
- 14:26Speaker 3: like you know, we don't really have a limit. So uh,
- 14:31Speaker 3: I think everyone, I think everyone will be all right.
- 14:32Speaker 3: I think everyone's gonna Yeah, I'm not I'm not giving
- 14:35Speaker 3: away anything else, but I think I think most people
- 14:38Speaker 3: will be pleased with with where they where they end up.
- 14:41Speaker 3: That's what I think. We're still working on.
- 14:42Speaker 10: You said, you're doing the Living team this year, so
- 14:44Speaker 10: they give a couple extra guys chance to give you know.
- 14:48Speaker 3: First team, second team, and third team. It's not like
- 14:51Speaker 3: Jerry with the Ring of Honor. You know, it's not
- 14:53Speaker 3: a one man committee. I mean it has been last year.
- 14:55Speaker 3: But you know, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get Beam
- 14:58Speaker 3: involved a little bit more this year. Let him you know,
- 15:01Speaker 3: he talks to you guys as much as I do

- 15:34Speaker 14: Gary in New Mexico talk about some of the old
- 15:36Speaker 14: time teams. So I'll start with my trivia question because
- 15:40Speaker 14: I know one hundred.
- 15:41Speaker 5: Percent you're going to get this.
- 15:43Speaker 14: What was what's the connection between the Broncos and the
- 15:46Speaker 14: Cowboys on the Cowboys roster.
- 15:49Speaker 5: That year.
- 15:51Speaker 3: On the Cowboys roster.
- 15:53Speaker 14: Yeah, think about think about later years. Who was on
- 15:56Speaker 14: that roster?
- 15:57Speaker 3: Oh, Tony Dorsett was a rookie. About Tony rst as
- 16:01Speaker 3: a rookie. They went to Denver.
- 16:03Speaker 14: Oh, I got two there's two people? Sorry, who's it?
- 16:06Speaker 14: There's another one? You got the right position? Who who
- 16:09Speaker 14: else was in the backfield with him?
- 16:12Speaker 9: Well?
- 16:12Speaker 3: New House was back there and Scott Lee Dan Reeves. Okay,
- 16:20Speaker 3: I guess I didn't realize that Dan Reeves was on
- 16:21Speaker 3: that team. He was on this he was on the
- 16:23Speaker 3: seventy seven team.
- 16:25Speaker 14: Oh, I got the wrong. Oh, I looked up the wrong. No,
- 16:28Speaker 14: let me think about that.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Well, I thought what you were going to say was
- 16:31Speaker 3: Craig Morton was the quarterback on the other team, you.
- 16:33Speaker 12: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, right now, that was the Dolphins.
- 16:36Speaker 14: That was the year of the Dolphins. No, Reeves was
- 16:39Speaker 14: on the seventy one team.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's on seventy seven coaching staff, so.
- 16:44Speaker 16: He might have been.
- 16:45Speaker 14: Yeah, you might have been, he might have been.
- 16:47Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:48Speaker 3: I was looking into that team and they I thought
- 16:53Speaker 3: this was interesting. They outscored those that team in seventy
- 16:56Speaker 3: seven outscored in the three playoff games eighty three to
- 17:00Speaker 3: to twenty one in three games, and the eighty five
- 17:03Speaker 3: Bears were ninety one to ten in three games. So
- 17:07Speaker 3: that we always talked about eighty five Bears ninety one ten.
- 17:09Speaker 3: This was like eighty three to twenty. It was, you know,
- 17:12Speaker 3: it was pretty close. It was just how dominant they
- 17:14Speaker 3: were in that seventy seven season. Got twenty three turnovers
- 17:19Speaker 3: in the playoffs, twenty three. I said, believe, no, I can't, wow,
- 17:24Speaker 3: I can't eight eight in the Super Bowl.
- 17:27Speaker 14: So yeah, well that was that was the story of
- 17:30Speaker 14: that Super Bowl because the Broncos couldn't stop turning the
- 17:33Speaker 14: ball over. And you know, the other thing to me is,
- 17:37Speaker 14: you know we always talk about the modern offense has
- 17:39Speaker 14: all this motion and stuff. Goes back and watch that
- 17:41Speaker 14: game because our offense is all about motion. In that game, yeah,
- 17:46Speaker 14: I mean, they're going back and forth, you know, as
- 17:49Speaker 14: you know, like like at a bust, like at the
- 17:51Speaker 14: bus line, you know, between the two sides and everything.
- 17:55Speaker 14: So and then the other thing I liked that he
- 17:57Speaker 14: brought up was, you know, it takes everything because it's
- 18:01Speaker 14: it's not just those rosters but that's exactly what happened
- 18:04Speaker 14: in the nineties. You know, you think about the key
- 18:07Speaker 14: acquisitions Charles Haley and Dion Sanders. You know, there's others,
- 18:12Speaker 14: but those two specifically. Yeah, we're also the tipping point
- 18:17Speaker 14: you know for their for their their's seasons. That's what
- 18:21Speaker 14: it took to get us over the hump.
- 18:24Speaker 5: And in both.
- 18:24Speaker 14: Cases, you know you pointed out last time I brought
- 18:27Speaker 14: that up, we are also taking them away from our
- 18:31Speaker 14: who was our primary competition in those years.
- 18:34Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, So you know, I think I think
- 18:38Speaker 3: you're going to see it more this year with the Cowboys.
- 18:41Speaker 3: I they have a lot of spots to film. It's
- 18:44Speaker 3: the same think of it, like, yeah, I'll say this
- 18:47Speaker 3: off the off the air. When you're done and you
- 18:49Speaker 3: have any more questions, just.
- 18:50Speaker 14: One more comment, man, and I'm hoping to get your
- 18:53Speaker 14: opinion on So, you know, looking at how things have
- 18:56Speaker 14: shaken out based on the coaching staff that's that they
- 19:00Speaker 14: put in place, because they're close to putting the whole
- 19:02Speaker 14: thing together now you know they're they're pretty close. What
- 19:06Speaker 14: do you think is the best direction for those high
- 19:11Speaker 14: end draft picks based on who we have in place
- 19:14Speaker 14: and what they're going to be looking for. I'll take
- 19:16Speaker 14: the I'll take both of those off the air man.
- 19:19Speaker 14: Good to talk to you and glad to see that
- 19:22Speaker 14: you're doing okay and that flu epidemic you're having down there.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Yeah, we're hanging in there for sure. All right, Thanks Brian.
- 19:29Speaker 3: You know your your last question, similar to what you know,
- 19:34Speaker 3: kind of takes me down the road I was talking
- 19:35Speaker 3: about with what they're going to do. I mean free
- 19:38Speaker 3: agency is going to be the biggest part here of
- 19:42Speaker 3: like of that question about what were they do with
- 19:44Speaker 3: the draft? I do think because you have they're going
- 19:49Speaker 3: to have I just think they're going to have some
- 19:51Speaker 3: holes going into the draft. They just can't cover up everything.
- 19:54Speaker 3: So what where do they go in free agency? Who
- 19:58Speaker 3: who gets re signed? And where do they you know,
- 20:03Speaker 3: where do they end up? Because I do think you're
- 20:04Speaker 3: gonna get into the draft, they're just gonna be thin
- 20:07Speaker 3: at positions and so it's like, well, you know they're
- 20:09Speaker 3: gonna get a corner or a defensive tackle or running back.
- 20:14Speaker 3: The question is what round? What round do they do?
- 20:17Speaker 3: They get them in? But you're gonna have some holes
- 20:20Speaker 3: when you go in there. I think they're going to
- 20:22Speaker 3: be more active in free agency. I've said that before.
- 20:27Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be similar to the coaching staff
- 20:30Speaker 3: in that obviously you got a whole staff to fill,
- 20:34Speaker 3: right you have a whole staff that was here before.
- 20:37Speaker 3: You want to take parts of these guys, or you
- 20:39Speaker 3: want to kind of do a little bit in house
- 20:42Speaker 3: and a little bit more on the outside. And I
- 20:45Speaker 3: think that's what free agency is gonna be here because
- 20:48Speaker 3: they've got twenty five guys that you have to resign,
- 20:51Speaker 3: so that means you're probably gonna bring most you know
- 20:55Speaker 3: you're gonna fill those positions. Doesn't mean you're gonna resign
- 20:59Speaker 3: all of your own free agents, but you're going to
- 21:01Speaker 3: sign about that many. So I think that there's you're
- 21:04Speaker 3: gonna see a little bit more from the outside than
- 21:07Speaker 3: the inside, and which rightfully, so, I mean, this is
- 21:09Speaker 3: a seven and ten football team. You don't just bring
- 21:11Speaker 3: back the same guys and say, oh, running back, this
- 21:14Speaker 3: is good enough. It wasn't. It wasn't good enough, but
- 21:17Speaker 3: with or without injuries, wasn't good enough. So you need
- 21:20Speaker 3: to you need to get better than what you have.
- 21:23Speaker 3: And so I do think they'll sign some of their
- 21:25Speaker 3: own players. I think you're gonna sign more from the
- 21:27Speaker 3: outside than we've seen in the past, and I think
- 21:31Speaker 3: from that it will look like they're a little bit
- 21:34Speaker 3: more aggressive and free agentsy free agency, but probably just
- 21:38Speaker 3: a little bit more active. If all that makes sense.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Let's go to Ali. He's in Florida. Ali. How are
- 21:47Speaker 3: you pretty good, buddy?
- 21:49Speaker 5: I I'm fine.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I'm fine. I'm just saying everybody and everyone's been affected
- 21:56Speaker 3: by it one way or another, somebody that they know
- 21:58Speaker 3: in their house, whatever, I'm fine. I'm good to go.
- 22:01Speaker 17: Yeah, because everybody I know around here also they have
- 22:04Speaker 17: the same thing.
- 22:05Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 22:05Speaker 5: I don't know what it is.
- 22:06Speaker 17: It's just like a all door for do.
- 22:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:11Speaker 17: So a couple of things. First of all, I don't
- 22:15Speaker 17: want EGO to win. I'm rooting for Casey. I want
- 22:21Speaker 17: to I just don't like the Eagle. So having said that,
- 22:26Speaker 17: I was thinking, maybe, you know, last time are called
- 22:32Speaker 17: I confuse you, So don't feel bad, but just bone confused.
- 22:38Speaker 5: So basically.
- 22:43Speaker 17: I was thinking I was telling you about the iceberg.
- 22:46Speaker 17: I don't know you've ever seen one, but you and
- 22:49Speaker 17: Chris and some of the podcasters are welcome to come.
- 22:53Speaker 17: I take you to Greenland. You see an iceberg size
- 22:57Speaker 17: of the AT and T Stadium, and it melt two
- 23:03Speaker 17: three weeks after that. It's just like nothing was there.
- 23:07Speaker 17: So it's weird, so sad. And then as far as
- 23:11Speaker 17: I was thinking about the draft, we are drafting on twelve,
- 23:17Speaker 17: and if you remember Washington game be lost within the
- 23:21Speaker 17: last six second or whatever, and from twelve, legally, if
- 23:27Speaker 17: you wouldn't lose that game, you would have picked on
- 23:29Speaker 17: sixteenth positions. So I was thinking, just because we inherited
- 23:34Speaker 17: a twelve by a little bit of luck, and I
- 23:38Speaker 17: think we have a roomed to maybe a trade from
- 23:42Speaker 17: twelve if our players they want is not there. And
- 23:47Speaker 17: I had a good feeling that San Francisco is gonna
- 23:52Speaker 17: mess up mess with us either the trade other there
- 23:55Speaker 17: somebody want to get ahead of the Cowboys or they're
- 23:58Speaker 17: gonna take a cowboy the play Cowboys one. So I
- 24:01Speaker 17: was thinking maybe if it pushed back to go to
- 24:03Speaker 17: the sixteen or fifteen, then we can get them maybe.
- 24:10Speaker 5: A coupled extra pick.
- 24:11Speaker 17: I'm going to give a shout out to my favorite captain,
- 24:14Speaker 17: Rob Randy and Irene and the restored Liner.
- 24:18Speaker 9: Love you buddy, come up all.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Right, Thank you, Thanks Ali, here's the thing. I've said
- 24:25Speaker 3: this before too, but you you know, what's the Cowboys'
- 24:30Speaker 3: biggest need? Good luck with that answer. I mean it's
- 24:35Speaker 3: easier to say what they don't need. They have needs.
- 24:39Speaker 3: So that one player that everybody knows the Cowboys are
- 24:43Speaker 3: gonna want, I don't know if if they'll if it'll
- 24:47Speaker 3: be there, I don't know if it'll be that that way.
- 24:52Speaker 3: I guess if they don't sign a big name free
- 24:55Speaker 3: agent running back, which they probably will not, we'll enter
- 24:59Speaker 3: the draft with all right, well, are the Cowboys going
- 25:02Speaker 3: to take Ashton genty? And and is that going to happen?
- 25:05Speaker 3: And so that might be a player that if you
- 25:08Speaker 3: want to running back, you gotta get to eleven, you know,
- 25:11Speaker 3: you got to get up there. I could see that.
- 25:15Speaker 3: I could see that situation. But you know, if that happened, fine,
- 25:19Speaker 3: the Cowboys have plenty of options that they could go
- 25:22Speaker 3: h As that call was going on, I saw three
- 25:26Speaker 3: mock drafts in a row. I guess it was from
- 25:28Speaker 3: NFL dot com reporters or something. I can't read the
- 25:32Speaker 3: names of whose mock draft they are, but you know,
- 25:36Speaker 3: and I saw three different players go to the Cowboys
- 25:39Speaker 3: and none of them with Ashton Genty. Uh. So you know,
- 25:43Speaker 3: that's just the way the way it is right now.
- 25:45Speaker 3: I just think they have a lot of needs. And
- 25:48Speaker 3: I guess Brian from from Kansas City asked that question
- 25:51Speaker 3: about earlier, which which position would you go to free agency?
- 25:57Speaker 3: Is gonna tell us a little bit about that, But
- 26:00Speaker 3: I I think if you've if you've got you know,
- 26:04Speaker 3: if if it's if the running back is worthy enough
- 26:07Speaker 3: for being there, I'm for that. I'd be fine. If
- 26:10Speaker 3: it was a guard or a tackle on the offensive line,
- 26:13Speaker 3: I think you think that makes everybody better. I'd be
- 26:16Speaker 3: fine if it was the defensive tackle, you know, just
- 26:22Speaker 3: because you might not sign Osa and Mazzi hasn't proven
- 26:26Speaker 3: to be the guy yet. Pass rusher would be fine.
- 26:30Speaker 3: If it's a corner. I don't know if that will
- 26:33Speaker 3: be the case, but you know, if you definitely take
- 26:35Speaker 3: a corner that high if he was worthy of it.
- 26:37Speaker 3: So it's my points, just about any position would work.
- 26:41Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to uh Lester and Minnesota before
- 26:44Speaker 3: we take a break. Leicester, Minnesota.
- 26:47Speaker 11: I mean, how you doing good?
- 26:50Speaker 3: How are you?
- 26:51Speaker 11: I'm doing good? I think that we should I mean,
- 26:56Speaker 11: we have a lot of needs out there a lot,
- 26:59Speaker 11: but I think we should just strengthen the offense because
- 27:03Speaker 11: I believe that's where we have most of our our well,
- 27:07Speaker 11: I don't want to say better players, but that's where
- 27:09Speaker 11: our strength is. In my opinion, it's very good. No
- 27:13Speaker 11: defense is very good, but I just think we should
- 27:17Speaker 11: strengthen the offense. Is offensive league, so you know, you
- 27:20Speaker 11: got to stop somebody. I understand that. So we need
- 27:23Speaker 11: defense as well. As far as the coaching, the new
- 27:26Speaker 11: coach because I didn't get a chance to call in
- 27:28Speaker 11: the last couple of weeks. I couldn't get in, but
- 27:31Speaker 11: I got in the day. But anyway, Marty, Yeah, let's
- 27:37Speaker 11: Marty's son. Let's give him a chance. But I feel
- 27:39Speaker 11: like it's more of the same. We've seen this story before.
- 27:42Speaker 11: But let's give them a chance and let's let's get
- 27:48Speaker 11: out there and do something like we did back in
- 27:51Speaker 11: the in the nineties.
- 27:53Speaker 9: Man.
- 27:53Speaker 11: I mean, I know it was it was not a
- 27:55Speaker 11: salary cap back then. I understand that. But like like
- 27:59Speaker 11: your Mavericks did down there, I'm a Laker fan, but
- 28:01Speaker 11: like your Mavericks did down there, they trade made a
- 28:03Speaker 11: big trade. Let's let's do it. Let's do something big.
- 28:08Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know what. I don't have a
- 28:09Speaker 11: little plan for it. But let's let's figure it out.
- 28:12Speaker 3: Let's don't compare anything with what the Cowboys have done
- 28:15Speaker 3: with the Mavericks and and and let's trade. I don't mean,
- 28:19Speaker 3: I know, I know.
- 28:22Speaker 5: I don't mean it like that.
- 28:23Speaker 11: I'm just saying the concept, let's do something big.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Yeah, well, no thanks when it when it comes to
- 28:30Speaker 3: just saying, oh, you know, let's just make a trade
- 28:33Speaker 3: here in the in the middle of the now, anybody, Now,
- 28:37Speaker 3: there's nobody like that, Like you know, I've been asked
- 28:40Speaker 3: that question. It's just like the Cowboys trade and Micah
- 28:43Speaker 3: and and No, it's not like that. It's it'd be
- 28:46Speaker 3: like trading you know, Micah and CD, you know at
- 28:51Speaker 3: the same time or whatever. I mean, this is this
- 28:53Speaker 3: was huge just because the way basketball is. And so
- 28:55Speaker 3: I'm still not over it yet. I don't know, I
- 28:58Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm
- 29:00Speaker 3: not sure yet, you know, because I hear a lot
- 29:02Speaker 3: of fans that say, like, I'm done, I'm done. Well
- 29:05Speaker 3: I'm not. You know how I always say, you don't
- 29:09Speaker 3: choose to be a Cowboys fan, it chooses you. Well,
- 29:12Speaker 3: I chose to be a Mavericks fan, so it's a
- 29:14Speaker 3: little different. I chose to be a Mavericks fan because
- 29:16Speaker 3: I live here, and I chose to be a fan,
- 29:19Speaker 3: so I can do what I want to do, you
- 29:20Speaker 3: know in that in that regard, I'm for the Lakers.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet,
- 29:28Speaker 3: just just yet.
- 29:29Speaker 11: We'll see, Yeah, Nick, you know, I will finish with
- 29:33Speaker 11: what I always say. Until we get a good, very
- 29:37Speaker 11: good offensive and defensive line at the same time, we'll
- 29:41Speaker 11: be more to same Cowboys.
- 29:43Speaker 3: All right, Well that's who we need to draft than
- 29:45Speaker 3: one of those guys. Uh you know, now, thanks for
- 29:48Speaker 3: the call, Lester. If there was a uh Hunter, Travis
- 29:55Speaker 3: Hunter type player that was an offense I mean it's
- 29:59Speaker 3: it's gonna at some point an offensive line slash defensive
- 30:03Speaker 3: linemen that played both ways like that. I mean happens
- 30:06Speaker 3: in high school all the time, and maybe in college.
- 30:08Speaker 3: You'll see it. If that ever happened in the pros,
- 30:11Speaker 3: that would be Lester's guy right there, because what better
- 30:13Speaker 3: way could he get offensive defensive line in the same
- 30:16Speaker 3: time with the same player. It it'll happen. It'll happen
- 30:20Speaker 3: at some point. I think. I think guys like Travis
- 30:23Speaker 3: Hunter might pave the weight, but there's a lot of
- 30:26Speaker 3: guys that do it, that can play both sides. That
- 30:28Speaker 3: doesn't mean that they play it at that level. That's
- 30:30Speaker 3: why Travis Hunter's got a Heisman Trophy, because he did
- 30:34Speaker 3: it at the highest of levels. All right, let's take

- 32:44Speaker 3: said he's got Mavericks tickets uh for next week. Of course,
- 32:47Speaker 3: of course we yeah, it feels like there's gonna be
- 32:50Speaker 3: a lot available there. Yeah, this fan base is is
- 32:54Speaker 3: is hurting. And as I said before, just now like
- 32:59Speaker 3: it's not the same basketball. Football is not the same
- 33:01Speaker 3: because you really, you know, one player can can take you,
- 33:04Speaker 3: uh to to the finals and you need more. But
- 33:06Speaker 3: I mean you could have one or one guy, So
- 33:09Speaker 3: trading that guy away for you know, an older piece
- 33:16Speaker 3: just it's it's frustrating, and I get it, but it
- 33:19Speaker 3: made me kind of wonder about from the Cowboys standpoint.
- 33:23Speaker 3: You know a lot of people say, you know that
- 33:24Speaker 3: I would trade Micah? You sure about that? And I
- 33:27Speaker 3: and I'm again I'm not saying this is the same
- 33:29Speaker 3: because football you need a lot more guys. But still
- 33:33Speaker 3: you're talking about a young, generational type player that can
- 33:38Speaker 3: can wreck games, and I'm just not sure I'd want
- 33:42Speaker 3: to get rid of that just just to get two
- 33:45Speaker 3: first round picks. You know, good luck, because Mike is
- 33:49Speaker 3: going to help that team that that you're sending him to.
- 33:52Speaker 3: So nothing against these guys, but I mean, would you
- 33:56Speaker 3: take would you take Micah for for Mazzie Smith and
- 33:58Speaker 3: Tyler Goyton? And I'll even do you one better, just
- 34:02Speaker 3: Tyler Smith and Mozzie Smith, because that's still that's two
- 34:08Speaker 3: first rounders in what twenty twenty two and twenty three,
- 34:13Speaker 3: taking it in the twenties range. Tyler Smith, Mozzie Smith,
- 34:17Speaker 3: Tyler's a two time pro bowler. I still don't think
- 34:21Speaker 3: I would do that for Micah. Uh So my point
- 34:26Speaker 3: is is that, yeah, you can get two first round picks,
- 34:28Speaker 3: but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get
- 34:31Speaker 3: the same kind of return there for sure, all right,
- 34:35Speaker 3: I'm really excited about this. Next call Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
- 34:40Speaker 4: What hey, I'm alive, man, I'm alive out here.
- 34:44Speaker 3: I tell you. I you know, I wasn't going there,
- 34:46Speaker 3: but I I, you know, worry about people. I mean,
- 34:50Speaker 3: that's about I got about four on the list that
- 34:53Speaker 3: I would like for them to call, just just so
- 34:56Speaker 3: I could feel better about it. Because they've called and called,
- 34:59Speaker 3: they've called, they stopped. So you're one of them. And
- 35:03Speaker 3: I'm really really excited that you that you've called. No
- 35:06Speaker 3: situations change, probably work and all that good stuff.
- 35:09Speaker 15: Yeh yeh yeah, how you How you been?
- 35:13Speaker 11: Uh?
- 35:14Speaker 15: Did you get work?
- 35:16Speaker 4: It's just work man, life for life and work. And
- 35:19Speaker 4: then stressed about the cowboys and I'm I'm a little
- 35:22Speaker 4: I'm ama say this, and I know I'm probably gonna
- 35:24Speaker 4: make a couple of fans mad, but I'm an Oklahoma
- 35:27Speaker 4: City fan thunderfans, So this Dallas Maverick think, don't bother
- 35:32Speaker 4: me nothing.
- 35:32Speaker 5: I'm okay with that out sure at all?
- 35:34Speaker 3: Sure you are, yeah, sure, sure you're fine with that.
- 35:38Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Yeah, Well but I had to check on a couple
- 35:41Speaker 4: of my friends because they was I had to give
- 35:43Speaker 4: a couple of hugs there was they was really hurt.
- 35:45Speaker 15: It was really really hurt. So I agree with you.
- 35:49Speaker 4: I don't think if you was deciding to get rid
- 35:51Speaker 4: of like Michael or something like that, you would have
- 35:53Speaker 4: to do It's Michael won't change as much as Luca.
- 35:58Speaker 15: Did for the Mavericks.
- 35:59Speaker 4: So I agree with that. But I haven't really got
- 36:04Speaker 4: the call and talked about a whole bunch. But I'm
- 36:05Speaker 4: gonna try to stick to the off season stuff.
- 36:07Speaker 9: I appreciate the coaches.
- 36:09Speaker 3: And I'm not mad about you know, yeah, Louis, you
- 36:11Speaker 3: can't pick up where you left off because we'll be
- 36:13Speaker 3: talking about Thanksgiving. You know, we'll be talking about the
- 36:16Speaker 3: Giants game. You can't. It's a minute, so right, So
- 36:21Speaker 3: what do you think? What did you think of Schottenheim
- 36:23Speaker 3: or higher?
- 36:25Speaker 4: You know what, I'm not. I wasn't I'm not shocked,
- 36:28Speaker 4: I'm not angry, I'm not mad. I'm I'm just gonna
- 36:32Speaker 4: play it out, see how how I feel it out.
- 36:34Speaker 4: You know, I like a lot of the people he's
- 36:36Speaker 4: putting around, the pieces he's putting together, as far as
- 36:39Speaker 4: the coaching staff. So and I watched the whole uh
- 36:44Speaker 4: interview with him and Jerry and them, and I felt
- 36:47Speaker 4: like he he sounded like a man on a mission
- 36:50Speaker 4: in a sense, like, Hey, I've started from the bottom
- 36:53Speaker 4: and I worked my way up here, so hopefully that's
- 36:56Speaker 4: a good thing. We'll see how that works out. So
- 36:58Speaker 4: I'm not really too upset about it. Like I said,
- 37:01Speaker 4: I'm just trying to play it one game at a time,
- 37:03Speaker 4: see how it goes. We'll start with preseason, but technically
- 37:06Speaker 4: before that, we'll start with the draft and.
- 37:08Speaker 9: See how that goes.
- 37:09Speaker 3: Yep, Yeah, I think well, I think this is a
- 37:12Speaker 3: very very healthy mix of continuity and newness. At the
- 37:17Speaker 3: same time, it seems new and fresh. He's got a
- 37:20Speaker 3: lot of different things going on, but yet we still
- 37:24Speaker 3: see some continuity and including him. So I think I
- 37:27Speaker 3: think it's a it's a healthy mix of both of
- 37:30Speaker 3: that and and I think that's what a lot of
- 37:32Speaker 3: people need, because they need kind of a breath of
- 37:35Speaker 3: fresh air. But not we're not starting from scratch completely,
- 37:39Speaker 3: and I don't think they should start from scratch because
- 37:41Speaker 3: this hasn't been a bad football team. This has been
- 37:44Speaker 3: a a good to great team. Last year was was
- 37:48Speaker 3: average below.
- 37:49Speaker 15: It, right, I can agree with that.
- 37:50Speaker 4: I can agree with that, So yes, I can agree
- 37:54Speaker 4: with that. Well, I was calling because yesterday I was listening.
- 37:57Speaker 4: I'm stealing from yesterday's podcast, but they was talking. A
- 38:02Speaker 4: caller called into I Think Talking Cowboys and he's he
- 38:08Speaker 4: was talking about how he didn't agree with keeping the
- 38:14Speaker 4: GM not DM Will McClay, and he didn't think that
- 38:19Speaker 4: he was making the right moves, and everybody on the
- 38:23Speaker 4: Talking Cowboys kind of somewhat kind of changed his mind,
- 38:26Speaker 4: was like, Hey, you thinking about like the Mazie Smiths
- 38:30Speaker 4: and the Taco Charleston's, but you're not taking an account
- 38:33Speaker 4: the the Tyrn Smiths and the Zach Martins and stuff
- 38:38Speaker 4: like that. But I was on the internet on the
- 38:41Speaker 4: ex Twitter or whatever, and I've seen that comment a
- 38:45Speaker 4: few times before, and I kind of was like, should
- 38:48Speaker 4: we really be looking at Will McClay or should we
- 38:50Speaker 4: be checking on the coaching staff because I think there's
- 38:53Speaker 4: a I think, like you said, there's a good mix
- 38:55Speaker 4: between the two. Well, they were saying there's a good
- 38:58Speaker 4: mix between the two because they evaluate the talent and
- 39:02Speaker 4: then they come back and you bring them to the
- 39:04Speaker 4: coaches and if you don't win with them, everybody's trying
- 39:08Speaker 4: to point the finger and say, well, we shouldn't have
- 39:11Speaker 4: drafted that guy. But then when you look throughout the league,
- 39:14Speaker 4: there's players from Cowboys that have been drafted all over
- 39:17Speaker 4: the place, making big plays and doing things. So I'm
- 39:20Speaker 4: almost to the fence who are like, have we been
- 39:24Speaker 4: like not that the coaching is bad, but has it
- 39:27Speaker 4: just been failing us? Like you know what I mean
- 39:29Speaker 4: in a sense, like because people getting drafted and then
- 39:33Speaker 4: they leave Dallas and then they make plays other places,
- 39:35Speaker 4: and so why weren't they making plays.
- 39:37Speaker 15: With dabas So?
- 39:38Speaker 4: And like I said, I'm not saying I'm not trying
- 39:40Speaker 4: to poo poo on the coaches.
- 39:42Speaker 3: But exactly and I'm not questioning you here, I'm just
- 39:46Speaker 3: who exactly are we referring to in that regard about
- 39:49Speaker 3: the guys that go to other places and make plays.
- 39:54Speaker 4: I can't I'm not gonna say it. I'm not going
- 39:56Speaker 4: to say it because they didn't make it to the
- 39:58Speaker 4: super Bowl. But you kind of can think about Washington
- 40:01Speaker 4: like they got half of our team from last year, yeah,
- 40:05Speaker 4: you know, and then think about the young man that
- 40:08Speaker 4: played d line from UH from period went to the ram.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Neville Gallimore you Neville Gallimore did did play better. Uh, yeah,
- 40:19Speaker 3: he was a difference maker for the Rams. Uh, you're
- 40:22Speaker 3: You're not wrong. And I mean another guy and I
- 40:25Speaker 3: and I I can just not fathom this one. I
- 40:27Speaker 3: trading for Jordan Phillips. I was so excited about him,
- 40:31Speaker 3: and I don't know what happened in that situation. Next
- 40:34Speaker 3: thing I know, he's he's back in Buffalo and making
- 40:37Speaker 3: plays third and goal at the goal line. He's in
- 40:41Speaker 3: the package and he's making plays and he's showing up
- 40:43Speaker 3: and he's getting the fans involved in him. He looks
- 40:45Speaker 3: like a key player for that Buffalo team. And I'm thinking,
- 40:49Speaker 3: this team, what is that? Yeah, I don't understand what happened.
- 40:54Speaker 3: And they tried to put him on I R. They
- 40:56Speaker 3: said he had a risk problem. He said he didn't
- 40:58Speaker 3: have a risk problem. That was the end of it there.
- 41:01Speaker 3: And then you know so but but you know they
- 41:05Speaker 3: gave up a draft pick for that. So the Washington
- 41:10Speaker 3: I'll say this though about you asked about is it coaching, Well, yes,
- 41:15Speaker 3: it's coaching, especially with Washington because their coach and some
- 41:18Speaker 3: and then their assistant coach and some of their other
- 41:20Speaker 3: assistants went to Washington and coached them, so that that
- 41:25Speaker 3: is is kind of you put an asterisk by that
- 41:27Speaker 3: one because they they did well, and and then if
- 41:30Speaker 3: they did if they did well in Washington, it's because
- 41:32Speaker 3: they had the same same coaches. Didn't want to pay
- 41:35Speaker 3: that and they still wouldn't have paid that for Drance,
- 41:37Speaker 3: They wouldn't have paid that for Beaddish and Fowler. Fowler
- 41:42Speaker 3: did well. Fowler did a little bit better in Washington
- 41:44Speaker 3: than he did here, So you.
- 41:47Speaker 4: Know, and to me, I think that's the wash because
- 41:50Speaker 4: the way we had Loston, the Fowler and Loston almost
- 41:55Speaker 4: to me, were making it because you lose Fowler and
- 41:58Speaker 4: then you pick up Lawson, and I think what they
- 42:00Speaker 4: both had five or six facts and made a.
- 42:03Speaker 15: Few plays here and there.
- 42:04Speaker 4: So I'm not really.
- 42:05Speaker 15: Mad at that.
- 42:06Speaker 4: But yeah, and I'm like I said, I don't think
- 42:08Speaker 4: it's I don't agree with it, but I don't disagree
- 42:13Speaker 4: with it because I feel like you do evaluate the
- 42:15Speaker 4: talent and you bring people in and then some of
- 42:18Speaker 4: it you kind of look at, like, Okay, I bought
- 42:20Speaker 4: this guy in because I know he's talented, But do you,
- 42:24Speaker 4: Hank All, do you blame all of it on just
- 42:26Speaker 4: the coaching or is it we over evaluated this person.
- 42:31Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a combination of everything, really,
- 42:34Speaker 3: you know. I mean, I don't think it's just one thing.
- 42:36Speaker 3: I think Will uh, you know you're going back to
- 42:39Speaker 3: Will maclay. I think the body of work has been
- 42:41Speaker 3: really good.
- 42:42Speaker 18: Uh.
- 42:42Speaker 3: And it's more it's, you know, with everything, it's more
- 42:46Speaker 3: than just what you see. It's it's also communication and
- 42:50Speaker 3: and and how you treat others, how you handle other departments.
- 42:55Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not talking about opening the door
- 42:57Speaker 3: for people. I'm talking about how you work with other department's,
- 43:00Speaker 3: other staff. How do you work with this coaching staff
- 43:03Speaker 3: when things when they see things differently? How are you
- 43:06Speaker 3: organizing your scouting department to go to different places and
- 43:10Speaker 3: get the rest, you know, best guys and turn over
- 43:12Speaker 3: they're all the rocks and all that stuff. And I
- 43:14Speaker 3: think he's done a great job of that. There's been
- 43:18Speaker 3: a little bit of a lull here in the last
- 43:20Speaker 3: couple of years, I think from the great draft picks.
- 43:23Speaker 3: I think I think they've they've bet, I would say
- 43:26Speaker 3: a little bit on a downslope. But let's see if
- 43:29Speaker 3: they can, you know, get this thing turned around. Because
- 43:31Speaker 3: what happens. What's the best way to draft good players.
- 43:35Speaker 3: It's to get higher in the draft. That's I mean,
- 43:37Speaker 3: that's always the key. And guess what they've done that.
- 43:40Speaker 3: So that's that's the nature of it. You know, if
- 43:43Speaker 3: you keep picking in the twenties every year, you're not
- 43:45Speaker 3: gonna hit I mean, I'm looking at no, you're not
- 43:49Speaker 3: gonna hit everyone. But I mean when you look at
- 43:52Speaker 3: the guys that they've drafted in the twenties or thirties
- 43:56Speaker 3: that have made it to the Pro Bowl and been
- 43:58Speaker 3: good players, I mean, Travis Frederick was thirty one, the
- 44:01Speaker 3: thirty first pick, I believe, And if Byron Jones was
- 44:04Speaker 3: like twenty eight, Taco twenty four, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
- 44:11Speaker 3: forgot Dez down here too, right, Dez Frederick, Byron Jones,
- 44:15Speaker 3: Taco was twenty seven, twenty eight something like that. That
- 44:17Speaker 3: didn't work obviously, Layton Layton was eighteen, CD was seventeen,
- 44:23Speaker 3: Tyler Smith twenty four, maybe, Mazzi twenty six, Guidon twenty eight.
- 44:29Speaker 3: So some some yes, some some not so much. But
- 44:32Speaker 3: you you started getting in the teams and even higher
- 44:35Speaker 3: than that with the Tyron Smiths of the world, and
- 44:38Speaker 3: and Zach Martin, Micah. You know, they they hit so
- 44:43Speaker 3: here at twelve. I think I think, especially knowing that
- 44:46Speaker 3: they need so much, I think they're gonna get a
- 44:48Speaker 3: great football player and so and and and the key
- 44:51Speaker 3: is not to just get one at twelve, it's to
- 44:53Speaker 3: get one there at forty four in the second round.
- 44:55Speaker 4: Yeah no, yeah, I think to me, I think that,
- 44:58Speaker 4: and I'll get I'll get off of your get off here.
- 45:00Speaker 4: But I think the key, not the first line, is
- 45:02Speaker 4: not going to be a great player. I do believe
- 45:03Speaker 4: he'll be a great player, but the key is really
- 45:05Speaker 4: going to be sickond and third round. So I hope
- 45:07Speaker 4: we can nail those two.
- 45:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 45:10Speaker 4: Yeah, so that man, when I can get in, I'll
- 45:13Speaker 4: call the game.
- 45:13Speaker 3: All right, Man, good to hear from you. Glad, you're glad,
- 45:16Speaker 3: you're doing okay. So, uh just want just so you
- 45:19Speaker 3: guys know, if we keep track on that kind of stuff.
- 45:21Speaker 3: We know calls. I have all the the lists of
- 45:24Speaker 3: all the calls, and so when one just stops abrupt abruptly,
- 45:28Speaker 3: you know, just gotta check in call every once in
- 45:30Speaker 3: a while. There's about three others I'd like to hear
- 45:32Speaker 3: from for for sure, I'd like to hear from all
- 45:34Speaker 3: you guys, but there's two or three others I would
- 45:36Speaker 3: I would wouldn't, wouldn't hurt my feelings if they gave
- 45:39Speaker 3: us a call. All right, let's go to Zach in Atlanta.
- 45:43Speaker 20: Nick eat Man, man of the people. How are you doing?
- 45:46Speaker 3: What's up? Man? How are you?
- 45:48Speaker 20: I'm good man, I'm good. Uh, it's been a good week.
- 45:52Speaker 20: But I'm glad to be on the line with you.
- 45:54Speaker 20: Shout out to beam. Hey, a couple of quick comments
- 45:57Speaker 20: and I'll get off the line.
- 46:00Speaker 5: One.
- 46:01Speaker 20: How big of a priority do you think receiver in
- 46:05Speaker 20: free agency or the draft is going to be for us?
- 46:07Speaker 20: We dealt that fourth round pick from Mingo. Do you
- 46:10Speaker 20: think you know they're just counting on that to pan
- 46:14Speaker 20: out and focus on other priorities. We've got Brandon Cooks,
- 46:17Speaker 20: who's a free agent. Yeah, I kind of what do
- 46:21Speaker 20: you anticipate?
- 46:22Speaker 3: A great question. That's a great question, and that's that's
- 46:25Speaker 3: the one where you know it could go. It depends
- 46:29Speaker 3: on on your your your thought process there. I mean,
- 46:32Speaker 3: I could see where that could be a first round pick.
- 46:35Speaker 3: I don't know if I would go that route, but
- 46:39Speaker 3: you know, I think back in the nineties. I mean,
- 46:41Speaker 3: they had Michael Irvin and they drafted Alvin Harper with
- 46:44Speaker 3: the eleventh pick. You know, I don't think they they knew
- 46:47Speaker 3: what they had yet with Michael, with Michael Irvin at
- 46:49Speaker 3: that point, but I lit a fire under him and
- 46:52Speaker 3: he went five for eight years of one thousand yards,
- 46:54Speaker 3: so you know, and and there it was a great
- 46:56Speaker 3: combination of a great one to two punch. I don't
- 46:59Speaker 3: I don't think for me, I would go first round
- 47:01Speaker 3: wide receiver, not after draft signing CD. But I think
- 47:05Speaker 3: it's a priority because BRANDI, like you said, Brandon Cook's
- 47:08Speaker 3: a free agent, and Jalen Tolbert, well, he's just tough
- 47:11Speaker 3: to evaluate, didn't he. I mean, I mean as soon
- 47:14Speaker 3: as you kind of think, well it's kind of you know,
- 47:17Speaker 3: maybe just a guy, and then he goes and you
- 47:20Speaker 3: look up and he had seven or eight touchdowns. So
- 47:24Speaker 3: I don't know what to think about Jalen toll This
- 47:26Speaker 3: to be a contract year for him and let's see
- 47:27Speaker 3: what what he does. Yeah, it was a drop that
- 47:35Speaker 3: I think it was a drop. Chris through out there
- 47:37Speaker 3: is a little longer one.
- 47:40Speaker 20: I thought we had someone in Kansas on the line.
- 47:42Speaker 11: I don't know what happened.
- 47:43Speaker 20: Uh yeah. One thing I will say is, you know,
- 47:47Speaker 20: we had a Mari and Michael Gallop and then Ceedee
- 47:51Speaker 20: Lamb's sitting there at seventeen. You don't pass on Ceedee lamp.
- 47:54Speaker 20: So we'll see what happens. I wish we would have
- 47:56Speaker 20: taken I wish we would.
- 47:57Speaker 15: Have kept our fourth for a lot of reasons.
- 47:59Speaker 20: But there's a guy who raised his hand in Los Angeles.
- 48:02Speaker 20: I won't get into detail, but you know, maybe we
- 48:05Speaker 20: figure out a way to make that happen too late.
- 48:07Speaker 9: Now.
- 48:08Speaker 20: Yeah, So all that to say, my final question, uh maybe,
- 48:14Speaker 20: and maybe you've covered this, but if you were playing football,
- 48:18Speaker 20: what do you think would be the most fun position
- 48:20Speaker 20: to play? Not necessarily what you're built for or what
- 48:23Speaker 20: played in the past, but you know what would you
- 48:26Speaker 20: like to get out there and go ball and so old,
- 48:28Speaker 20: same time, same place, next week, I get off the line,
- 48:32Speaker 20: go Cowboys?
- 48:33Speaker 3: All right? Uh yeah, holder no doubt about it. I
- 48:36Speaker 3: think I'd be really good at it, you know. I think, uh,
- 48:39Speaker 3: you know, I'd be tough, aggressive, you know, well, you
- 48:42Speaker 3: get that ball, get it, spin it, get your finger
- 48:45Speaker 3: out of the way. I think I think it'd be
- 48:47Speaker 3: really good. Uh, until the ball's really slippery and shiny,
- 48:52Speaker 3: like in a playoff game, that it might you know,
- 48:54Speaker 3: slip through my hands and then you know, cost the
- 48:56Speaker 3: cost of a game and you know, kind of haunt
- 48:59Speaker 3: you for the rest of your career. I mean that
- 49:00Speaker 3: that could happen. No, I'm kidding. I don't think it
- 49:02Speaker 3: haunted him the rest of his career. I I don't.
- 49:05Speaker 3: That's a tough question for me because I never really
- 49:07Speaker 3: had that football, you know build. I think I played
- 49:12Speaker 3: one year maybe in uh like middle school, and I
- 49:15Speaker 3: was a wide receiver. Caught a pass. That's about it.
- 49:19Speaker 3: We didn't throw so you know, it's Oklahoma wherever the
- 49:23Speaker 3: wish bum was going on there at ou, so we didn't.
- 49:26Speaker 3: Nobody threw the ball. But either way, Uh no, I
- 49:32Speaker 3: you know, I don't. I've never really thought about that
- 49:35Speaker 3: because I never played a lot of football, but uh,
- 49:38Speaker 3: you know, it's fun to I'd go out in the
- 49:39Speaker 3: yard and throw it around. I thought myself as a receiver,
- 49:42Speaker 3: but certainly not a quarterback lord terrible arm anyways, holder though,
- 49:48Speaker 3: I think a holder definitely not kicking. But you know,
- 49:51Speaker 3: I can get the ball down and and we can Uh,
- 49:54Speaker 3: we can kick some field goals. How about that? All right?
- 49:57Speaker 3: Let's go to Oh, Chris, what was that drop? Play
- 50:01Speaker 3: that drop now for me?
- 50:03Speaker 16: Good?
- 50:05Speaker 19: Good and terrible?
- 50:07Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, we're just talking about Jalen Tolbert. He threw
- 50:12Speaker 3: that out there. I don't know. I don't know about that.
- 50:15Speaker 3: But sometimes you're like, boy's good. Yeah, next thing, you know,
- 50:20Speaker 3: you're a couple like boy, he's good and terrible? All right.
- 50:25Speaker 3: I don't know aboud go there. I don't know. It
- 50:27Speaker 3: was funny, it was funny. It was funny. I just
- 50:30Speaker 3: like I didn't hear the second part of it though,
- 50:32Speaker 3: and he kind of just threw it out there. The
- 50:34Speaker 3: guy's talking and take them somebody jumped on the phone
- 50:36Speaker 3: line and again, Uh yeah, I can't remember. I know
- 50:44Speaker 3: I've seen that movie. I mean to America. I don't
- 50:47Speaker 3: remember that the second line though, of good and terrible
- 50:51Speaker 3: all right, probably talking about sexual chocolate. There is here
- 50:55Speaker 3: you go. I've seen I've seen the movie again, not today,
- 50:59Speaker 3: but I I've seen him. All right. Let's go to
- 51:02Speaker 3: Ronnie in New Jersey.
- 51:04Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick, How are you pretty good?
- 51:07Speaker 12: Pretty good?
- 51:08Speaker 8: Thank you?
- 51:09Speaker 5: Hook.
- 51:09Speaker 8: Everybody's doing good over there?
- 51:13Speaker 12: Nick?
- 51:13Speaker 8: I was going to ask you, there's a guy out
- 51:15Speaker 8: there that if we're gonna have to pay I just
- 51:20Speaker 8: want to put the scenario, if you got to pay
- 51:22Speaker 8: a guy top dollar to be a game wrecker.
- 51:26Speaker 3: All right, are you talking about somebody that's miles away
- 51:29Speaker 3: from here?
- 51:30Speaker 8: Exactly exactly, and right now everybody knows this guy has
- 51:36Speaker 8: always been a Cowboys fan. This guy when he was
- 51:38Speaker 8: coming out, he actually requested, asked, was asking, begging, Hey,
- 51:44Speaker 8: Trey Vomo to Cleveland for me in coming draft me.
- 51:48Speaker 8: I don't know if you remember that, but when he
- 51:50Speaker 8: was coming out, he wanted to go to the Cowboys
- 51:54Speaker 8: so bad. And we do have a young if you're
- 51:58Speaker 8: not going to give up a draft, and I know
- 52:01Speaker 8: it's going to require high draft picks to get this
- 52:03Speaker 8: guy as desperate as he wants to get out of there,
- 52:07Speaker 8: you do have a guy that's coming up for a
- 52:09Speaker 8: contract that's due big money, and we're gonna pay big
- 52:14Speaker 8: money to one or the other. I'd rather pay big
- 52:17Speaker 8: money to the one that's more dominant, the one that's
- 52:20Speaker 8: more that that's actually a game wrecord. And I'm not
- 52:24Speaker 8: saying nothing against Michael Parsons. I love Michael Parsons, but
- 52:28Speaker 8: he's not that. He's not a guy that completely takes
- 52:32Speaker 8: over a game. And I've seen both, and I've seen
- 52:36Speaker 8: almost all the pass rushes. Michaels. Garrett's got to be
- 52:40Speaker 8: the guy that actually does take over a game and
- 52:44Speaker 8: destroys left tackles, double blocks. Micah always complains about, you know,
- 52:51Speaker 8: while I'm being double block this and that, Mile Garrett
- 52:54Speaker 8: runs over to guys at the same time I seen them.
- 52:58Speaker 8: So it's this something that you would do that. That's
- 53:01Speaker 8: basically my question. And what do you think about that?
- 53:06Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my question?
- 53:07Speaker 3: All right, Thanks for the call, Ronnie. You know, we
- 53:11Speaker 3: don't necessarily talk about players on other contracts, and even
- 53:18Speaker 3: though they've somebody has requested a trade, that doesn't mean
- 53:21Speaker 3: that he's being shopped or anything like that. And I
- 53:28Speaker 3: hear what you're saying. Does this guy wreck games? I mean,
- 53:37Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm looking at the Cleveland's record. I mean,
- 53:42Speaker 3: this seems like there'd be more games that he could wreck.
- 53:44Speaker 3: It would be, you know, than being three and fourteen
- 53:48Speaker 3: and seven and ten eighty nine. He has a couple
- 53:51Speaker 3: eleven to five, eleven and six is in there, six
- 53:53Speaker 3: and ten, seven, and eight. I don't think he was
- 53:57Speaker 3: a part of the O and sixteen. That's probably how
- 53:59Speaker 3: they got him. I would think that's when they drafted them.
- 54:01Speaker 3: But you know, I just I think that that probably
- 54:08Speaker 3: wouldn't be the best situation is as far as what
- 54:11Speaker 3: the Cowboys would give up compared to other teams, But
- 54:16Speaker 3: sure would be sure would be interesting, you know, and
- 54:20Speaker 3: and wow, what a what a combination that would be
- 54:23Speaker 3: on two guys on on you know, just trying to
- 54:25Speaker 3: meet at the quarterback? Would you give up twelve? I mean,
- 54:32Speaker 3: gotta get better? But I mean, I I just I
- 54:34Speaker 3: still think this is a situation. I don't I don't
- 54:37Speaker 3: think it's a rebuild, but I think it's one of
- 54:40Speaker 3: those where still going to take a little bit of time.
- 54:43Speaker 3: I don't think you would put the Cowboys in the
- 54:45Speaker 3: one player of way category. And uh, I could see
- 54:48Speaker 3: other other teams probably that would be closer to that,
- 54:53Speaker 3: that would that would you know, be willing to give
- 54:55Speaker 3: up their first round pick or a couple first round picks,
- 54:58Speaker 3: knowing that they're a little bit later, uh in the
- 55:01Speaker 3: first round, then maybe what the Cowboys have right now.
- 55:03Speaker 3: But interesting, again, that's about as much as we can
- 55:05Speaker 3: really go from there. Let's go to Anthony and Miami.
- 55:10Speaker 9: Nick the quick, what's up, my guy?
- 55:12Speaker 3: How are you.
- 55:14Speaker 16: They?
- 55:14Speaker 9: You know, a little tad under the weather, A little tad,
- 55:17Speaker 9: got a little foggy voice. But you know that ain't
- 55:19Speaker 9: gonna stop me.
- 55:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm good. You know, we don't talk about weather
- 55:24Speaker 3: too much, and I guess maybe we shouldn't talk about
- 55:27Speaker 3: under the weather either, But I get it now. It
- 55:30Speaker 3: knocks people on their ass. And it's been it's been
- 55:33Speaker 3: going around. It's been tough. I'm glad that most people
- 55:35Speaker 3: are doing okay. Uh yeah, So I'm out of what's
- 55:40Speaker 3: on your mind.
- 55:43Speaker 9: Last week when I talked about the coach and welcoming
- 55:45Speaker 9: him and seeing I was take him with open arms.
- 55:49Speaker 9: His staff, he's getting a pretty good staff, and I
- 55:52Speaker 9: have the confidence that they're gonna keep building that staff.
- 55:57Speaker 9: And see, here's the catch with you leading a lot
- 55:59Speaker 9: of players and you haveing a lot of free agents,
- 56:03Speaker 9: you know, and rebuilding a team. You know, you got
- 56:04Speaker 9: to go to that draft and you're gonna have to
- 56:07Speaker 9: hit free agency. But I remember you saying you don't
- 56:09Speaker 9: have to get that A plus players. We don't need them.
- 56:12Speaker 9: I mean, you know, you're gonna need role players, and
- 56:14Speaker 9: you're gonna need guys to basically fill those holes that
- 56:17Speaker 9: you're gonna be missing. So you gotta think when guys
- 56:20Speaker 9: have those league gams across the league, players might want
- 56:25Speaker 9: to play for them, Players might want to follow them.
- 56:27Speaker 9: Good players, role players, solid players. So that's a good
- 56:31Speaker 9: thing in him creating that kind of coaching culture that
- 56:35Speaker 9: I think he's gonna be able to create. So I'm
- 56:38Speaker 9: all now for that.
- 56:39Speaker 11: Now.
- 56:39Speaker 9: As I said, with the draft, I see four key positions.
- 56:43Speaker 9: They're more of course running back, de capital, guard, and
- 56:48Speaker 9: flot receiver. Now I want to run it back more
- 56:52Speaker 9: than anything in the world. So I'm not doing any
- 56:54Speaker 9: trades because I want him. But in the case that
- 56:56Speaker 9: he's not there, I'm trading back. I'm not going past twenty,
- 57:02Speaker 9: but I'm gonna get you some more capital and still
- 57:04Speaker 9: getting there a great pick.
- 57:06Speaker 12: That's just me.
- 57:07Speaker 9: But I do want to running back, trust me, I
- 57:09Speaker 9: want him.
- 57:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 57:10Speaker 9: So that's all I got for you this week, big buddy.
- 57:12Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, appreciate that. All right, Yeah, I know,
- 57:16Speaker 3: I know there's been some talk on you know, how
- 57:18Speaker 3: much wear and tear has been on Ashton Gent's body
- 57:22Speaker 3: because he's gotten a lot of carries. But yeah, that
- 57:26Speaker 3: would I can't say. I've seen a lot of games.
- 57:31Speaker 3: You know, you see the highlights, and obviously with a
- 57:34Speaker 3: runner up in the Heisman, you know all those yards.
- 57:37Speaker 3: But I watched them play against Penn State and they
- 57:41Speaker 3: have a you know, really good defense, and I remember thinking,
- 57:44Speaker 3: well there was it was a nine yard run and
- 57:46Speaker 3: I was like, all right, I see what the hype
- 57:50Speaker 3: is all about. I mean, I'm not talking about the
- 57:51Speaker 3: seventy yarders because he's got plenty of those. It's how
- 57:54Speaker 3: you average ten yards of pop. But I saw a
- 57:57Speaker 3: nine yard run that probably had six Penn State defenders
- 58:02Speaker 3: involved in the play trying to get them down, and
- 58:05Speaker 3: it was a it was a man's run and it
- 58:07Speaker 3: was one of those where that's how you have to
- 58:09Speaker 3: win when you're playing the Washington or the Eagles or
- 58:13Speaker 3: the Giants or in December, you gotta have runs like that.
- 58:17Speaker 3: You know, when it's first and goal from the from
- 58:20Speaker 3: the nine and you get about a six or seven
- 58:23Speaker 3: yard run and make it second goal at the three,
- 58:25Speaker 3: that changes the whole dynamic, probably makes it a four
- 58:28Speaker 3: down territory. It's runs like that when they know you're running.
- 58:31Speaker 3: You know, when you've got the lead in the fourth
- 58:33Speaker 3: quarter and it's four minutes to go and you've got
- 58:35Speaker 3: a four point lead, and you know you're trying to
- 58:37Speaker 3: get them to call their timeouts, and you go, you know, run, run, run,
- 58:42Speaker 3: you get six, four, seven eight. Yeah, that's how you
- 58:46Speaker 3: win games. And so you know, and again it was
- 58:49Speaker 3: just one run, but it was a powerful run. The
- 58:52Speaker 3: shiftiness and all that that it reminded me there was
- 58:55Speaker 3: some inmte in that you know that I saw there.
- 58:58Speaker 3: He's got a lot more speed than that. I think
- 59:00Speaker 3: he's a special back, and I think that when that
- 59:04Speaker 3: happens and there's really only one running back makes me
- 59:08Speaker 3: makes me wonder if he can get to twelve. I've
- 59:10Speaker 3: seen I've seen some mock drafts like you guys have
- 59:12Speaker 3: where he's past that. But I'm also starting to see
- 59:16Speaker 3: him in the seven eight range. Uh so I could
- 59:20Speaker 3: I could see, you know, when you think about a
- 59:21Speaker 3: few years ago, b John Robinson I think went eight,
- 59:25Speaker 3: maybe seven. Gibbs went twelve that same draft. So you
- 59:30Speaker 3: get a special back. I don't know, twelve seems pretty
- 59:33Speaker 3: late in the game to get a guy like that.
- 59:36Speaker 3: So we'll see. So yeah, we'll see what happens. All right,
- 59:39Speaker 3: let's go to Armando in Mexico City. How are you
- 59:45Speaker 3: doing fine?
- 59:47Speaker 6: Thanks stiliating trying to get in it getting more complicated
- 59:51Speaker 6: every time.
- 59:52Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it, appreciate you sticking sticking with it.
- 59:57Speaker 6: I'm gonna add myself to the comp to get another
- 1:00:01Speaker 6: show because only once a week is really hard.
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, trust me. I think I've put in the
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: call a little bit on that kind of drop that
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: over to to the bosses. And I think it's gonna
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: be one show, one show a week. I don't think
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: anything's gonna be. It's gonna change.
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: We get there that you have now international pressure on that.
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: Yeah. That being said, I think it's gonna be one
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: show a week.
- 1:00:32Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I understand. So anyway, I couldn't get in
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: last week to talk about the the head coach and.
- 1:00:40Speaker 15: I like it.
- 1:00:41Speaker 6: I like it, but I I have to think about
- 1:00:44Speaker 6: what you said the other day, say, if it's going
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: to be from within, you have to change everything else
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: and shorten time minutes from within, But they change everything
- 1:00:54Speaker 6: else on the coaches.
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: So I like it.
- 1:00:56Speaker 8: Let's see how it looks.
- 1:00:59Speaker 6: So uh, I really want my My personal choice was
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: Pete Carol, but you said that he had some outradious
- 1:01:12Speaker 6: demands and as we were going to read about it,
- 1:01:15Speaker 6: I haven't found anything about it. So maybe you can
- 1:01:17Speaker 6: talk a little bit about that. That would be interesting
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: to see what he wanted. So but anyway, if you can,
- 1:01:23Speaker 6: of course, and and uh I went gently for the
- 1:01:28Speaker 6: on the draft. I hope that's to us at all.
- 1:01:31Speaker 6: I think he's going to be a game changer, so
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: I hope he does. We need a home run on
- 1:01:37Speaker 6: this draft in the first round, you know, safer if
- 1:01:42Speaker 6: you can say that. Yeah, one last point, Nick, I've
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: seen a lot of position coaches changing positions, you know
- 1:01:51Speaker 6: from the distance in life, maybe linebackers and then back
- 1:01:55Speaker 6: back and forth. How is it that change? You think
- 1:01:58Speaker 6: it's easier or it's hard, because so that's not being
- 1:02:01Speaker 6: talked about a lot. So I want your opinion on that.
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: But anyway, that say, thanks, thank you very.
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: Much for having you get off the line, thank you
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: for the call. You know, it's it's not it's not
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: like playing the position, and it's it could be done.
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: I've seen you know, it happens a lot, and you know,
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: think about this. Yeah, it keep from a simplistic part.
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: Think about these coaches and where they where they come from.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: Most of them, most of them are you know, they're
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: all players. But you know some of these coaches start
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: at the high school level college and you think about
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: high school coaches what they have to coach, you know,
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: and so coach a little bit of everything, especially when
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: you when you talk about special teams coaches even in
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: the NFL, you know, you're talking about tackling, you're talking
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: about returning, catching a punt, shedding a block, making a block.
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: You know, you do a little bit of everything. So uh,
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: when it when it comes to skill set and understanding
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: how to do certain concepts, I don't think that's that
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: much of a transition. If if you've got if you've
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: done it and you've kind of understand I mean, I
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: think you can have a you know, linebackers coaches can
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: go to D line coaches and vice versa and things
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: like that. So you know, these guys are trying to
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: get in the door. You're trying to get in the door.
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: You do whatever you whatever it takes. You know, you're
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: trying to move up the ladder, and you'll you'll learn
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: what you have to do to get there. So I
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: don't think that's a huge transition, Uh, as long as
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: they're dedicated to putting in the work in the hours
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: and study the film and things like that. When I'm
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: talking about position coaches that kind of change different positions
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: within its certainly not like a player doing that. All right,
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: let me go to break here real quick on the

- 1:05:41Speaker 3: You know what, it's not built for everyone. You know
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: what I mean. I don't do it show by myself.
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: I do a show with you. We got all kinds
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: of people that call them in. We got we got
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: we got doctors. I don't I think lawyers. I know
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: we have a sheriff. I know, we have a shop griff.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: Let's go to Kansas for our sheriff. Sheriff line.
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: He nick, how are you guys doing?
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: Doing great? How are you doing?
- 1:06:09Speaker 9: So?
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: I'm doing pretty good. Just hanging out of bous hiding
- 1:06:13Speaker 5: from everybody. I don't get sick like everybody else. So far,
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: that's been a good plan.
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: There you go, There you go. That's a good excuse too,
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like, sorry, no, y'all, can't
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: come over, can't sorry, can't.
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: Storylines on today, and it's on for hopefully all day.
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: That'll keep me inside.
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: Well, we'll see. You know, if I could maybe the
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: Uber eats or something like that, I could just sit
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: here all day. I'm sure Chris would love that. No, yeah,
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: so what do you got? What's going on?
- 1:06:43Speaker 12: Hey?
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: I got? I was thinking about all this free agent
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: stuff and with the draft coming up, I don't I
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: think best plan take our pick at twelve, whoever it is,
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: whoever you think is the best player available to fill
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: the biggest need you have? Which Cowboys have a bunch.
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: But if you do decide to go out into free
- 1:07:09Speaker 5: agency instead of getting that one one player, why not
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: drop down just a little bit, split your money up
- 1:07:18Speaker 5: and get maybe a couple of needs with some with
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: the money. And if they would do that, who would
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: you like? Who do you think you would like to
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: see them pick in a free agent that would help
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: in that regard? And uh, and and then your thoughts
- 1:07:39Speaker 5: on on your first pick in the draft, depending on
- 1:07:44Speaker 5: whether it's the tackle available or gent or or whoever.
- 1:07:49Speaker 5: On that, I got some thoughts maybe, uh, if Jenny's there,
- 1:07:54Speaker 5: maybe I've seen you know, I didn't like some of
- 1:07:57Speaker 5: the game. Couple of the games because when he got
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: up against really good defense, he's yards per average wasn't great,
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: and he's run the ball a ton already in his career.
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: Well, let me just just to be fair, you know,
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: let's look at how many like like. For instance, Oregon
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: and Penn State. Those are two teams that he faced
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: that maybe his stats weren't the best. I know both
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: of those those teams have a lot of guys in
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: the draft on the defensive line. Specifically, does Boise State
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: have about three offensive linemen going in the first round
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: first couple of days. I doubt it. My point is
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: is that as a back, you don't have that offensive line,
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: it's not the same and you're going up against some
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: some top guys. I thought that's why I said that
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: run that I liked against Penn State. He wasn't getting
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: a ton of blocking. He was doing a lot on
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: his own. So got to be fair a little bit.
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: It's not just him going up against Penn State and Oregon,
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: it's his offensive line as well. So you know you
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: have to you have to, you know, throw all that
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: out there, and then on the other to be fair.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: On the flip side, you know, he's going up against
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: Nevada and Wyoming sometimes and he's and he's racking up
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: a ton of yards and they're not going to be
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: putting guys in the in the league on every single
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: you know round either, so you have to kind of
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: way through all that stuff. He there, sheriff, Yeah, I'm there,
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: all right.
- 1:09:30Speaker 5: All right, Yeah, yes, No, I'm just curious on what
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: your thoughts wouldn't be if they decided to go out
- 1:09:37Speaker 5: and free agency, maybe pick somebody up. I know people
- 1:09:40Speaker 5: are talking about Cooper and that that just kind of
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: your thoughts on maybe some that would be available with
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: free agent wise, because trading somebody you don't have a
- 1:09:52Speaker 5: lot of You don't have a lot of players that
- 1:09:54Speaker 5: you can get rid of, because then you you just
- 1:09:57Speaker 5: create another hole. Yeah, now I'm don't we don't need
- 1:10:01Speaker 5: any more holes.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. All right, Lonnie, appreciate that.
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: Thanks for the call. Good stuff. I haven't looked at
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: all of the guys in free agency that are on
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: other teams right now. You know what I would say,
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: I'd like to like, I would look at the Cardinals
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: and see again, I don't even know who's out there,
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: but I'm looking at familiarity. I'm looking at guys. I mean,
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: look at what Washington did and so I guarantee you
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: Dorn's Armstrong and and Fowler Igbanogay. They had some success
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: because they didn't really have to change systems. They knew
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: their coach, they knew that kind of stuff. So look
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: at look at those type of things. Look at guys
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: that are coming from other places that they've coached before,
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: that they you know, they have a good relationship with.
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: You know, maybe maybe there is somebody on the Cardinals,
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: maybe on their offensive line. I haven't I don't even know.
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: I could be I'm just throwing that out there. But
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: somebody that can come here and be like, I know
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: what you know. I know this scheme, I know what
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: I'm doing, and I know that kind of stuff. So
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: I would look at familiarity as one when it comes
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: to the free agency, and then you know, I'm okay
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: with a splash. I'd be okay with it. If you
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: could tell me, oh, we could go get eight good players,
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: solid to good players here, or we could get five
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: and one of them is pretty damn good. I'm going
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: that route. I'm going that route with this team right now,
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: with this team, this fan base, what this team needs
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: and need a shot in the arm. They need that.
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: So I would be okay with that knowing that, hey,
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: we've got a really good player or two in here,
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: as opposed to just saying let's get seven or eight,
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: nine guys that'll be solid. Yeah, you know if they're solid.
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: I mean that's why they're in fre agency, because they're solid.
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: Give me a guy that's a little bit better than that,
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: and I think that's what this team needs and be
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: nice change of pace. If that's what the Cowboys decided
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: to do. All right, let's go to our next caller,
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: Irene in Falls Church, Virginia.
- 1:12:11Speaker 4: Hey, it's been a while. Oh my gosh, hundreds and
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: hundreds of calls trying.
- 1:12:15Speaker 21: To get in.
- 1:12:16Speaker 7: So here I go.
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: I appreciate it.
- 1:12:19Speaker 21: I'm trying.
- 1:12:20Speaker 9: Okay.
- 1:12:20Speaker 21: So who would have thought when I asked which team
- 1:12:22Speaker 21: we least wanted to win the Super Bowl that my
- 1:12:25Speaker 21: answer of Washington would have come so so close? That
- 1:12:29Speaker 21: was brightening for me. But I felt that Eli Manning magic,
- 1:12:34Speaker 21: you know, helmet catch vibes with that team. So that's
- 1:12:37Speaker 21: that's kind of what was in my head. Even though
- 1:12:39Speaker 21: I think they overachieved, but they're building something that unfortunately
- 1:12:43Speaker 21: is going to be torturing us for years.
- 1:12:45Speaker 20: Looks like, but.
- 1:12:47Speaker 21: I'm glad that's over go Chiefs. Yeah, that's it. You know,
- 1:12:50Speaker 21: I know everybody. I think everybody. I know. There's some
- 1:12:53Speaker 21: people who are like, oh no, they're going to win
- 1:12:55Speaker 21: three in a row and tie the Cowboys on Super Bowls.
- 1:12:58Speaker 21: But I'm like, we don't really need the goals. Come on, no,
- 1:13:02Speaker 21: something about it.
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: Get there yourself.
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: You remember all those Chiefs fans that have called in
- 1:13:06Speaker 3: talking all that crap about the Cowboys, Like, no, it's
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: exact Philly fans all the time. So yeah, keep them
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: where they are. They've won what won Super Bowl. Keep
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: it at that. But yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: think it's in anyone's DNA that can call this show
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: to be like, yeah, I'm okay with Philly winning. No,
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: can't say that doesn't even come out of your mouth.
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: All right, No, all right.
- 1:13:29Speaker 21: So just to give you my my thoughts on Shotty.
- 1:13:32Speaker 21: So when the hiring happened, I was not excited. Of course,
- 1:13:36Speaker 21: you know, two days later, our division rivals, we're going
- 1:13:39Speaker 21: to be playing in the NFC Championship. So it really
- 1:13:41Speaker 21: felt like, wow, we're going behind, or we're not trying to,
- 1:13:45Speaker 21: you know, make the big move, and everyone else is
- 1:13:48Speaker 21: just passing us by. But I will say, now I'm
- 1:13:52Speaker 21: I'm interested. I still would have preferred Aaron Glenn, but
- 1:13:55Speaker 21: that's fine. I don't think we even called.
- 1:13:58Speaker 8: Them, so it is what it is.
- 1:14:01Speaker 21: I like how he's shaping up the staff.
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: You know, I like slus.
- 1:14:05Speaker 21: I think that I wanted him as the successor to
- 1:14:09Speaker 21: Marilyn Nelly. But since then there's been even better. You know,
- 1:14:12Speaker 21: the coordinators, the White Cotton DL coach. You know, he
- 1:14:16Speaker 21: had the Jets line looking great.
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: Bottoms.
- 1:14:21Speaker 21: He should get our running game more creative. So you know,
- 1:14:24Speaker 21: I'm good with that. And then what uh what Schottenheimer
- 1:14:27Speaker 21: said that it said to me was motion ted bo
- 1:14:31Speaker 21: you know that sort of stuff. I think I think
- 1:14:34Speaker 21: it's true that he was taking over the play calling
- 1:14:38Speaker 21: because something shifted in that and then that's what he
- 1:14:40Speaker 21: brought up in the presser. So I don't think that's
- 1:14:43Speaker 21: just like a pr thing that they're trying to sell
- 1:14:45Speaker 21: us on, right, And then my only question for you
- 1:14:48Speaker 21: is if there's news about the line coach. I think
- 1:14:52Speaker 21: Todd Archers said were probably going to hire a separate
- 1:14:54Speaker 21: one and it's not just going to be Clayton Adams
- 1:14:56Speaker 21: doing both duties. So that's it for me.
- 1:14:59Speaker 17: I'll talk to you.
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: Uh, well, thanks for the call, Irene. A couple of
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: positions coaches still out there, A wide receivers coach and
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: O line, uh for sure. I think that's about it
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: for the main position coaches you're They hired a running
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: backs coach, Derek Foster. I have assistant receivers coach, obviously,
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: special teams coordinator, the line coach, linebackers coach safety's corners,
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: obviously your defensive coordinator. So I would think your O
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: line and your receivers coach, and I think both of
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: those are going to be outside the building for now,
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: which is just good. So again, pretty good mix of
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: of some guys that they've had here, uh some of
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: the lower level coaches that are still around. But but
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: I again, I think this is just a good, good,
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: you know, combination of of of both. You got some
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: new faces, you know, new voices, new opinions. Uh not
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: everybody is new and so and and and that'll be
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: good for those new coaches too. That that's always important.
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: I'll never forget Wade Phillips saying that when he got
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: here and he changed almost every coach but like two
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: or three, and he's like, you gotta have holdovers. You
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: gotta have some because if you don't, then you'll just
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: make the same mistakes that the that we're done before.
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: So you need that and and and this is this
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: seems god. And Shotenhaimmer was here, so he he knows
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: all this stuff as well. All right, Chris? Is that
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: it for calls? I mean, I know we had a
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: lot of calls. I haven't seen one Michael and Bowling Green,
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: I haven't seen that pop up here, all right, Michael
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: Bowling Green, Kentucky.
- 1:16:45Speaker 22: Man we gotta do this twice a week.
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: Come on, now, well, I agree with you, but I'm
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: gonna tell you that we probably won't. But you know what,
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: if y'all keep calling right now, it can just you
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: can just take over the next time. Slide here. Whether
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: that's what I said.
- 1:17:03Speaker 16: I said that by the time you guys keep calling,
- 1:17:06Speaker 16: it will be two days calling.
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: Then we'll do We'll do two shows here. No one's
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: gonna stop us right now. I don't think that keep going.
- 1:17:14Speaker 22: I was thinking the same thing. Either do two hours
- 1:17:17Speaker 22: or do two days, so that works for me. I
- 1:17:22Speaker 22: did not want McCarthy to leave. But now it is
- 1:17:25Speaker 22: exciting with the you know, seeing all these new hires,
- 1:17:29Speaker 22: I've got some excitement for next year. I don't think
- 1:17:33Speaker 22: I'm gonna watch the Super Bowl because I'm gonna be
- 1:17:35Speaker 22: banned either way. But uh uh, let me ask you
- 1:17:41Speaker 22: a question about the super Bowl. Okay, all right, say
- 1:17:45Speaker 22: say just works out with these new coaches, which I
- 1:17:47Speaker 22: think is gonna be all right. Say we're say we're
- 1:17:50Speaker 22: in a super.
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: Bowl in a few years.
- 1:17:52Speaker 22: All right, say we.
- 1:17:54Speaker 15: Win the super Bowl.
- 1:17:55Speaker 22: Now, I know the players get these nice rings, coaches
- 1:17:58Speaker 22: get them, but from watching pond stars. You know, when
- 1:18:03Speaker 22: people come in with a super Bowl ring, they're like, oh,
- 1:18:05Speaker 22: this is a staff ring. It's not as worth as much.
- 1:18:08Speaker 22: If the Cowboys win the super Bowl? Do you get
- 1:18:12Speaker 22: a super Bowl ring as a staff.
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: I would I don't know. I mean that is obviously
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: never never come up. I've only been here, you know,
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: twenty seven years. How about I know, No, I don't.
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: I've had that question asked several times and at different
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: points in my time of being here. You know, I
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: guess the answer could have changed. I would think now
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: you know, maybe maybe I would, But I don't know
- 1:18:45Speaker 3: how they do it. I don't know if they maybe
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: it's something to purchase or I don't know. I I
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: would love I would love to figure that out, you know,
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: I would. I would love for that to be a
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: situation where we have to talk about it. But I
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: would think I would have a shot for it. But
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:19:04Speaker 22: Well, in a few years when we get there, I
- 1:19:08Speaker 22: want to I'm sure you'll let us know.
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, y'all would know all the time.
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: You know, I'd be like Broadest there with it with
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: his throwing it around like you like this mic look
- 1:19:22Speaker 3: at this microphone we have here, look at this, you know,
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: and then it show it. Yeah, I would do that.
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: I don't know, though I can't imagine ever wearing it,
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: you know. Just but again that's that's.
- 1:19:35Speaker 22: A special occasion, especially that I view that of.
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: You know, hey, so if you won the lottery, what
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: do you what do you buy? I just we'll see,
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: I mean, if that ever happened. But you know, I
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: don't play the lottery. He who knows.
- 1:19:50Speaker 22: All right, I'm looking for I'm looking for. I've got
- 1:19:53Speaker 22: high host for this new I mean, every time they
- 1:19:56Speaker 22: bring somebody in, I'm like, I look at him and
- 1:19:59Speaker 22: research sho him. I'm like, all right, this is good,
- 1:20:01Speaker 22: this is good. I think I think we're gonna have
- 1:20:04Speaker 22: a good deal going.
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think we got.
- 1:20:07Speaker 22: A coach that should have been.
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: A coach, but just has that's fair. I mean yeah,
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: I mean, and that's that's a lot of coaches are
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: that way, you know, Like like Aaron Glenn, I bet
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: you and the Jets is kind of the same thing,
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: like it just hasn't gotten that opportunity. His his though
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: you could see coming a little bit more just but
- 1:20:28Speaker 3: with the success that his team had but you know,
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: I agree. I mean, he sounds he says all the
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: right things. Schottenheimer does says all the right things, and
- 1:20:37Speaker 3: he did say all the right things. And it was
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: a kind of an awkward press conference a little bit
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: the way things were kind of set up there. And
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: you know, he's in between two guys that they're talking
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: about a lot of stuff history, you know, and and
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: the history of the of the of the the last
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: thirty years and the Super Bowl drought that that they've had. Well,
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: none of that is his problem. Shottenheimer's probably really isn't
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: uh And and he's you know, but he's still embraced that.
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: I thought the right way, knowing what the fans are
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: wanting and knowing what the expectations are around here. All right,
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: all right, Michael, good stuff.
- 1:21:16Speaker 22: Hey, I appreciate it. I've been trying to get in
- 1:21:18Speaker 22: for the last couple of Wednesdays, but I just wasn't successful.
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: All Right, Well, got it. You know what. You keep
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: trying to keep trying, and you did. You made it. It
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: was good to hear from you.
- 1:21:29Speaker 22: Oh you know, I will. Hey, I appreciate it.
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: You have a good one, all right, Michael and Bowling
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: Green Kentucky. All right, we're at that part of the
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: show where you know what if you if you uh,
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: if you want to call in, you could call if
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: you've called in, if you haven't never called before, this's
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: be a good time. If you have called before, call back.
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: If you've called already in this show, call on back again.
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: We have a repeat. We have a repeat caller, Chris
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: Lester in Minnesota, US, called back Lester.
- 1:22:03Speaker 11: There, Yeah, I'm here, ain't I mean.
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: You you only have one catchphrase? I mean, so what
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: else can you say? Again, they haven't drafted an offense
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: or defensive lineman. They can't get better. At the same time,
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: what else is there? But I'm dying to know what
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: do you got?
- 1:22:24Speaker 11: Well, I just wanted to follow up on what I
- 1:22:26Speaker 11: was saying earlier. I'm not saying we need to trade
- 1:22:29Speaker 11: Michael Parsons. I'm saying we need to be the one
- 1:22:33Speaker 11: trying to look for, you know, someone maybe disgruntled or
- 1:22:37Speaker 11: whatever on another team, quietly, like like what happened in
- 1:22:42Speaker 11: the basketball world, and we be on the on the
- 1:22:45Speaker 11: end of getting the good player and the other one
- 1:22:48Speaker 11: gets the other player. That's what I meant, not us
- 1:22:52Speaker 11: giving up something I mean we taking something. Okay, example, Uh,
- 1:22:58Speaker 11: we didn't know that Miles Away was discrowned. Maybe we
- 1:23:02Speaker 11: could have known that two or three months ago and
- 1:23:05Speaker 11: and then just quietly got him. I'm just I'm not
- 1:23:08Speaker 11: saying get here, but I'm just that's an example. Well,
- 1:23:12Speaker 11: that's what I meant.
- 1:23:13Speaker 3: I'll say, I'll say this, and the reason there's two
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: reasons why the Mavericks fans are so disappointed. Number One,
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: this was this was the most exciting guy in the
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: league to every every time you turned it on. You
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: don't know what he's gonna do, and so it was
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: it's it's and then when he's a young player still,
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: so to not have him here is so disappointing. If
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: you're going to get rid of him, though, you better
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: get a haul back. And they did not. And that's
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: another thing. That's that's it. That's unfortunate. I say all
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: that to say, I doubt Cleveland is not going to
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: get a haul for the guy if he does, if
- 1:23:51Speaker 3: they end up trading him. So that's even even at
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: his age, that that's going to be interesting to see
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: what what happens there.
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:24:00Speaker 11: Well, I'm just saying, let us be on the receiving
- 1:24:02Speaker 11: and of a very of of the other fans feeling
- 1:24:06Speaker 11: like what what what happened? Oh the Cowboys, you know,
- 1:24:11Speaker 11: the soul or whatever, this particular player or that particular player,
- 1:24:15Speaker 11: and we just gave a third round pick or eighth
- 1:24:18Speaker 11: round pick or whatever.
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I met. I got you, I got
- 1:24:22Speaker 3: your Thanks for clarifying. I appreciate it. Good stuff, all right, Lester,
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: it's been a while.
- 1:24:29Speaker 11: Get that off the defensive line at the same time,
- 1:24:32Speaker 11: go Cowboys?
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: All right? Good. I like that. It's a good point
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: offense defense, same time. Love it all right, Lester. Repeat caller.
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: It's only happened once, I believe in. And it was
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: a guy from Connecticut, Pete Right, And how do you
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: can call three times in one show? So it's good
- 1:24:50Speaker 3: to have a repeat poler there, Yeah, three you call him?
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: Three p that's right, Chris, all right? Nico and Colorado Springs? Nico?
- 1:24:59Speaker 9: What's up? Nick? How you doing? Brother?
- 1:25:02Speaker 15: Oh man, I'm gonna I got a bone to pick
- 1:25:04Speaker 15: with you?
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: All right?
- 1:25:07Speaker 12: Okay?
- 1:25:08Speaker 15: Well, I haven't called since Week five, and that was
- 1:25:12Speaker 15: the Steelers game. And the big reason I haven't called
- 1:25:16Speaker 15: is because after I called and talked with you. I
- 1:25:19Speaker 15: mentioned that it's important to me as a Cowboy fan
- 1:25:24Speaker 15: and the rest of the Cowboys fans that we get
- 1:25:26Speaker 15: a super Bowl. And I remember your words were, well,
- 1:25:29Speaker 15: if that's what you define as success, well didn't our
- 1:25:34Speaker 15: new coach didn't carry I mean, yes, ma'am, I mean
- 1:25:38Speaker 15: Schottenheimer say.
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: The same thing that he said. If we're not shooting
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: for a super Bowl, then what are we what are
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: we doing here?
- 1:25:47Speaker 15: Exactly exactly? And I told the story about my mom
- 1:25:52Speaker 15: and my uncles getting into a fight thirty years ago
- 1:25:55Speaker 15: super Bowl Uh huh. And now we have a coach
- 1:25:58Speaker 15: that is saying things like that again another yes man
- 1:26:01Speaker 15: nod to Jerry, congratulations on getting your Jim Carrey. But
- 1:26:05Speaker 15: US Cowboys fans are frustrated. For instance, I haven't watched
- 1:26:09Speaker 15: one in thirty years. I don't plan watching this game either.
- 1:26:12Speaker 15: I could care less who wins. I don't care when
- 1:26:15Speaker 15: we get bumped out. I don't give other teams my ratings.
- 1:26:21Speaker 15: I just won't do it. It's the star or nothing.
- 1:26:23Speaker 15: So that brings me to my point about picking that
- 1:26:26Speaker 15: bone with you. When I fought an MMA, the only
- 1:26:31Speaker 15: victory was to win. There was no victory in loss.
- 1:26:36Speaker 15: So for when you were explaining, like, well, that's I
- 1:26:40Speaker 15: guess if that's your definition of success, it should be
- 1:26:44Speaker 15: the only definition of success. So I'm not really sure
- 1:26:48Speaker 15: what other things are successful.
- 1:26:51Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, I'm not going to see it that way.
- 1:26:54Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I don't think. I don't think whoever you
- 1:26:56Speaker 3: know has the trophy Sunday Night is the only success
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: full team in the in the league. I don't. I
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: don't think that way. I think there's other team. I mean,
- 1:27:06Speaker 3: you're telling me Washington didn't have success this year because
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: they didn't make it to the super Bowl. I mean, like,
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: I think, I think there's other ways to define it.
- 1:27:14Speaker 3: But I I get I don't remember exactly all that
- 1:27:17Speaker 3: conversation and kind of what was said and all that,
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: and maybe how the wording was. But uh, I mean,
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: you get you're talking to somebody that's been here. I've
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: worked here now for twenty seven years. I have not
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: seen an NFC championship game or a Super Bowl. So
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: if I walked around here saying, well, the only thing
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: mattered that I've been fired a long time ago, That's
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: not the way it works for me. That's not the
- 1:27:40Speaker 3: way my mind thinks. I think that things different. I
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: can get excited about different things. If I have to
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: cover a five and eleven football team three years in
- 1:27:47Speaker 3: a row, I figure out different things that that worked
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: for me because I'm not in my mind it wasn't
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: going anywhere. This is a great job. I love it.
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: So we didn't make it to the super Bowl again
- 1:27:58Speaker 3: and again. But I view it differently. I'm not asking
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: you to view it a different way. If you want
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: to turn it off after they're done, that's fine. I
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: don't view it that way, and I don't know if
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: a lot of fans do either. But it's the ultimate goal, yes,
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: but if you fall short of it, heye, see if
- 1:28:15Speaker 3: you can figure out a way to get their next
- 1:28:17Speaker 3: year build on what you've done. But again, I'm just
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: arguing about a conversation that I really don't remember, so
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:28:24Speaker 15: It's all right. It just sit with me because I
- 1:28:28Speaker 15: know what I would define a success and right now,
- 1:28:31Speaker 15: just like eighty eight has said, we are Blockbuster, we
- 1:28:35Speaker 15: are seers, we are old news. When are we going
- 1:28:38Speaker 15: to get that star to stop being tarnished and brass
- 1:28:42Speaker 15: it or clean it back up and shine correctly?
- 1:28:44Speaker 5: Like what we used to be.
- 1:28:46Speaker 15: We're losing our Moniker America's team. We're losing it by
- 1:28:49Speaker 15: definition of championships, not by definition of making Jerry Jones billions.
- 1:28:54Speaker 15: I mean, carry do me a favor, bro, Get out
- 1:28:57Speaker 15: of your broken Bronco, put down your ping pong ball,
- 1:29:00Speaker 15: and actually do your damn job. Is what Cowboys fans won.
- 1:29:04Speaker 15: That's all I got, Nick, have a good.
- 1:29:05Speaker 3: Day, all right, appreciate it. Um frustration, I get it.
- 1:29:15Speaker 9: Not.
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: I mean I think that I do think that that
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: there's the ultimate prize is certainly there. And that's what
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: think about it. When they say that there's a drought
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: for twenty nine years, it's that it's Super Bowl drought.
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: They have it. They haven't won the Super Bowl, you know,
- 1:29:35Speaker 3: and there's teams that that have and and I'm not
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: gonna sit here and try to spend it. I mean,
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: the Cowboys are probably you know, in that top I
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: would say seven or eight teams in those last twenty
- 1:29:46Speaker 3: nine years when it comes to wins, success all that stuff.
- 1:29:50Speaker 3: They have not won the Super Bowl. And there's fans
- 1:29:53Speaker 3: like the caller, we just had that that's the only
- 1:29:56Speaker 3: thing that that matters. And and I can understand that.
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: But for me, I've been forced to look at it differently.
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: I have to, you know, because you walk around here
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: pissed off that they don't make the Super Bowl, You're
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: not gonna be walking around here a whole lot longer.
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: So I view it differently.
- 1:30:14Speaker 6: Uh.
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: Maybe that's why I'm a stats nerd. That's why I
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: enjoy I find different ways to kind of look at
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: it all with the mindset of hopefully, you know, this
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: is the year, and that's what's so great about football
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: season or sports in general. You can be mad all
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: you want to. This last caller, Nico, he's mad. He
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: doesn't want to watch the Super Bowl as I can
- 1:30:34Speaker 3: give him their ratings. Cool, well, I get it. But
- 1:30:38Speaker 3: when that draft comes around, he's gonna be looking at
- 1:30:41Speaker 3: it like, all right, I'll see what they got, all right, cool?
- 1:30:43Speaker 3: And then the next guy, and then I mean, then
- 1:30:45Speaker 3: the next st Then you get the training camp, preseason,
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: and it's a cycle. It just comes back around again.
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: And that's that's where we are. All right, here we go,
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: let's go, Robbie and Coco Beach. We're calling back again,
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: calling again, what's up.
- 1:31:02Speaker 12: I'm not tooting my own horn, but I've called once
- 1:31:05Speaker 12: back once before because you had said something and I
- 1:31:07Speaker 12: think you'd taken out of contact, and I called back
- 1:31:10Speaker 12: and all right, because I can be defensive, remember something
- 1:31:13Speaker 12: like that.
- 1:31:14Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 1:31:14Speaker 13: It was a long time ago.
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, Well what do you what?
- 1:31:21Speaker 13: I am angry now, you know why? I just read
- 1:31:25Speaker 13: that son of a gun Adam Rank's list of expected
- 1:31:29Speaker 13: Pro Bowl or Hall of Fame inductees and he doesn't
- 1:31:34Speaker 13: even he's got Woody in the list, but he doesn't
- 1:31:36Speaker 13: even put him on a chance to make it. Why
- 1:31:39Speaker 13: why our cowboy gets I don't know, respect man, I
- 1:31:43Speaker 13: don't know. It's because it sells, you know, if you
- 1:31:46Speaker 13: love us or you hate us.
- 1:31:48Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't listen. I'm I'm not sure
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: that none of that's come out yet. I've I've kind
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: of got and I have been told one way or another.
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: But I I getting the sense that it's not going
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: to be his year.
- 1:32:02Speaker 13: So I hope that's not fair.
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: No it's not. But uh, you know what, And I'm
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: and I'm biased, I know I am, and we all
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: are a little bit, but.
- 1:32:13Speaker 13: We all are because we watched him.
- 1:32:15Speaker 5: We watched him.
- 1:32:16Speaker 13: Roy Williams next him. Oh my God, made Roy.
- 1:32:18Speaker 12: Williams an amazing player. Yeah, not that he wasn't good,
- 1:32:21Speaker 12: but I.
- 1:32:21Speaker 13: Mean him and Roy Williams together were the dynamic duo.
- 1:32:25Speaker 12: You know. Well, you know, and then when what he left,
- 1:32:27Speaker 12: it was Roy went super downhill.
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: Well it's you know, it's America's team. It's the Dallas Cowboys,
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: one of the greatest franchises of all time. And the
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: guy that's made more tackles than anyone, not just on defense,
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: but defense the special teams can bind. No one's gotten
- 1:32:41Speaker 3: close to the amount of tackles that he had. And
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: he's not. He's not there, so he will be. He
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: will be And that's the.
- 1:32:51Speaker 13: That's the fact.
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that that'll be the case. You can't
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: get that close over and over he'll he'll make it.
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: They have a process that they're those voters are doing,
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: and they're trying to clean it up a little bit,
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: and and and and I think what they're doing is
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: trying to get these guys that have been waiting a
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: long time. And Darren's in there, He's in that group.
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: He's getting closer. I think I think it'll happen. I
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: think it'll happen. Next year. If it doesn't happen this year,
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: I think it'll happen next year. I think Jason Witten
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: will be up for it. I don't believe Jason Witten
- 1:33:21Speaker 3: is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: really not first well, because because nowadays, if you're not
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, I mean I think that they
- 1:33:32Speaker 3: they don't the voters have it. First ballot has got
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: to be absolutely it's a sacred thing now, and.
- 1:33:39Speaker 12: So I agree with that. But you know, the only
- 1:33:41Speaker 12: thing that makes me think that he gets in the
- 1:33:43Speaker 12: first ballot is that run against Philly when he lost
- 1:33:46Speaker 12: his home and kept running the blood coming out of
- 1:33:48Speaker 12: his nose.
- 1:33:49Speaker 13: Yeah, and then they changed the rule the next year.
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:33:53Speaker 13: I mean, I mean, I think that made.
- 1:33:55Speaker 12: A lot of people go, oh my god, that's got speech.
- 1:33:57Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt, And that'll be on his reel
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: when he gets in in the second year. I don't
- 1:34:01Speaker 3: think it'll be first year with him. And but my
- 1:34:03Speaker 3: point is is, I don't think they'd put Woodson in,
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: and I hope I would love if they put Woodson
- 1:34:08Speaker 3: and Witting in Together'd be awesome, because you know, save
- 1:34:13Speaker 3: us two trips from going up there, because we're going.
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: Definitely we'd be playing in the game. I know that
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: would be our team would be playing in the Hall
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: of Fame game. If that happens. I'm sure over the
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: next couple of year years, that will probably happen.
- 1:34:23Speaker 12: All right, all right, thanks neck, I just wanted to
- 1:34:27Speaker 12: tell you what Adam Ranks said.
- 1:34:28Speaker 13: Man, have a great show.
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: Don't even know that. Thank you appreciate it. We are
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: we are now now Now Lewis is just trolling trolling me. Now,
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: I hadn't called in like, you know, six six weeks,
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: maybe like two months. Now you've called twice. Love it?
- 1:34:47Speaker 3: What's up?
- 1:34:48Speaker 4: I told Chriz, I said, if we called it twice,
- 1:34:51Speaker 4: I figured out. I told my hand in there and
- 1:34:52Speaker 4: try it again.
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: You're back in there.
- 1:34:54Speaker 12: You know what?
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: I write the callers down, and I'm fifteen is about
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: is about the else I've ever done. So now we're
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: at eighteen and I was about to say we're not
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: going to stop till we get to twenty. And then
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: Chris Is said, last caller, So he must be.
- 1:35:08Speaker 4: Getting all right, I think he might be getting tired.
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: Yeah, that's okay. You know what this guy's doe like
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: eight shows in the day during the season, so he's
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: not getting tired, he's just getting I mean, once we
- 1:35:19Speaker 3: get the same callers calling back and say, I think
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: it's a good sign to wrap this thing up. But Lewis,
- 1:35:24Speaker 3: what do.
- 1:35:24Speaker 4: You got man? I I was calling Case. I was
- 1:35:28Speaker 4: listening to heard Less to say he wasn't trying to
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: get rid of Michael Parsons, and I agree with him.
- 1:35:32Speaker 4: I'm not either, So I kind of understand this take
- 1:35:35Speaker 4: now that he kind of broke it down. I wouldn't
- 1:35:37Speaker 4: mind Dallas going, you know, down there and trying to
- 1:35:40Speaker 4: figure out, like if there's a guy that disgrunts, or a
- 1:35:44Speaker 4: guy that might be able to be on his maybe
- 1:35:47Speaker 4: two years or last year or his deal that might
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: want to get out of there, so something at him,
- 1:35:52Speaker 4: you know. So now I don't necessary I know most
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: people want picks, but can we package up a player
- 1:35:58Speaker 4: and maybe like a fit for six round pick, see
- 1:36:01Speaker 4: if we can get somebody, And me personally, I know
- 1:36:04Speaker 4: we got it. We're gonna go in the draft and
- 1:36:06Speaker 4: we're gonna do best player available at Hope. But at
- 1:36:11Speaker 4: the same time, there's so many needs. I think you
- 1:36:14Speaker 4: have to would I would go best player available, But
- 1:36:19Speaker 4: in the free agency, you have to make some move.
- 1:36:21Speaker 4: We can't go and just get somebody that's gonna be
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: a million dollars here or a million dollars there. Got
- 1:36:27Speaker 4: to spend a little bit of money. That's what I
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: hope they do. And I know they're gonna sign a
- 1:36:30Speaker 4: lot of I hope they found a lot of their guys.
- 1:36:33Speaker 4: But like you said, get a little bit of old,
- 1:36:35Speaker 4: get a little bit of new, and try to mix it.
- 1:36:38Speaker 15: Up that way.
- 1:36:38Speaker 4: And I and hopefully that works out. And like I said,
- 1:36:41Speaker 4: I ain't gonna hold you too long. So I appreciate y'all,
- 1:36:44Speaker 4: and I appreciate Chris to taking a call.
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. Good to hear from you again, Lewis.
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: And I think that'll do. That'll wrap it up for us.
- 1:36:53Speaker 3: I understand this this team. You know that that you
- 1:36:56Speaker 3: guys want some some new players in here. I mean,
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: they have to have new players. They gotta have an upgrade.
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: They can't just say, well, we had injuries and we'll
- 1:37:05Speaker 3: be fine. No that because because that being said, the
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: teams from the from the previous year, they weren't good enough.
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: They were good good enough to get to the playoffs,
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: but not good enough to get over to the hump.
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: So you're gonna have to You're gonna have to keep
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: you know, Yes, you've got some good players on here.
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: We've got to keep building around it. Find the right fits,
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: find some guys that that maybe didn't work in another
- 1:37:25Speaker 3: system that could work here. That's the that's the always
- 1:37:30Speaker 3: the trick with free agency is who needs that fresh started?
- 1:37:34Speaker 3: And who you know, I mean, Philadelphia is in the
- 1:37:37Speaker 3: super Bowl because of a guy like that that that
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: you know, needed that that fresh start. And you know,
- 1:37:42Speaker 3: look at them now and look how great of their
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: season that they you know, they've had. Uh, you need
- 1:37:48Speaker 3: to find find some of those figure out how to
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: do that and figure out who those guys are and
- 1:37:53Speaker 3: and and bring them in here for the right price
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: and and and see how they how they fit. But
- 1:37:57Speaker 3: I do think this is a team that needs us
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: lash or two to mix in with with what they've got.
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: So all right, good show, got a lot of repeat callers,
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: got up to eighteen calls, a lot a lot of
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: fun today. Glad we could go into a little bit
- 1:38:13Speaker 3: of overtime, only do the one show a week and
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: that's not gonna change. But at least we can go
- 1:38:18Speaker 3: over every now and again. Today we're allowed to do that,
- 1:38:21Speaker 3: all right. For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eepan. We'll see
- 1:38:24Speaker 3: you next Wednesday on Cowboys Storyline.
