- 0:31Speaker 1: afternoon twent It is May twentieth, a little afternoon edition
- 0:37Speaker 1: of Cowboys Storyline. Had to forgive me. I had to
- 0:42Speaker 1: go to a fourth grade awards assembly in this morning,
- 0:45Speaker 1: which was riveting. It was, but uh had to miss it,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and uh what the yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what's funny.
- 0:54Speaker 1: I had a I was talking to one of our
- 0:56Speaker 1: consultants today, told him that to have a show today
- 0:59Speaker 1: and tell him and he was like, I would have
- 1:01Speaker 1: been mad at you if you would have done that,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and your your your listeners would have been mad at
- 1:04Speaker 1: you too. You got to take care of your commitments.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I was like, that's right, and of course beam drops
- 1:10Speaker 1: out at me like they're But if anyone would know
- 1:12Speaker 1: about elementary school, you know, programs and things like that
- 1:16Speaker 1: would be Chris. Anyways, all right, I won't be here
- 1:20Speaker 1: on Friday for that. Yeah, but they probably scheduled it
- 1:23Speaker 1: around your time, you know what I mean, They're like, well,
- 1:24Speaker 1: hold on, we got to make sure Chris Beam didn't
- 1:26Speaker 1: have shows on Friday. It's because kids in for this,
- 1:29Speaker 1: all right. We have not talked about the schedule. It's
- 1:33Speaker 1: been out for a few days now, almost a week
- 1:36Speaker 1: last Thursday, so everyone's probably dissected every part of it
- 1:41Speaker 1: and and and win loss, win, win loss whatever. I
- 1:46Speaker 1: don't necessarily like to do that, just how how different
- 1:49Speaker 1: the schedule can be, and how these teams can look
- 1:52Speaker 1: for what you think they're going to be. But some
- 1:56Speaker 1: of these, you know, you just know it's going to
- 1:58Speaker 1: be tough just because of the try or the lack
- 2:01Speaker 1: of sleep that you're going to get in some of
- 2:03Speaker 1: these and quick turnarounds and things like that. And some
- 2:06Speaker 1: of these teams at Seattle, that's going to be tough. Okay,
- 2:09Speaker 1: the defending champs they could be you know, four and
- 2:13Speaker 1: thirteen last year, and that's probably going to be a
- 2:15Speaker 1: tough game. So some of these you kind of already
- 2:18Speaker 1: know going in that these games are going to be tough,
- 2:21Speaker 1: but you know there's challenges part of it. I'm anxious
- 2:26Speaker 1: to see what you guys think about it. Eight a
- 2:28Speaker 1: A eight five five two two ninety seven. Let's get
- 2:30Speaker 1: to the phone lines. Let's go to Irene Falls Church, Virginia, Irene.
- 2:34Speaker 1: What's up?
- 2:35Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon.
- 2:36Speaker 4: I like this afternoon time. Yeah, so's yeah, it works.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Okay schedule because I forgot we actually didn't talk about
- 2:44Speaker 4: the full schedule last week. I'm fine with the I'm
- 2:49Speaker 4: fine with the Houston thing right after Brazil, even though
- 2:52Speaker 4: we normally, you know, normally international sheet games get a
- 2:55Speaker 4: bye week, although I would have hated it early by,
- 2:58Speaker 4: but why do we then have a Thursday night football
- 3:00Speaker 4: after that? That's something special. It's like they really hate
- 3:05Speaker 4: us when they when they schedule our Thursday nights, they
- 3:08Speaker 4: just find the worst possible way to do it. I
- 3:11Speaker 4: don't I don't get that at all, but I guess.
- 3:14Speaker 1: It is what it is.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I think the schedule looks fine overall. Besides that, I
- 3:19Speaker 4: know there's there's a lot of tough games. We have
- 3:21Speaker 4: a hard schedule, but apparently we actually have a lot
- 3:25Speaker 4: of rest day baked in except for you know the part.
- 3:27Speaker 5: I'm talking about.
- 3:28Speaker 4: So maybe it doesn't matter late By. That could be
- 3:33Speaker 4: good if we're trying to, you know, get some rest,
- 3:35Speaker 4: get right for the playoffs. I'm cool, I'm alright with that.
- 3:41Speaker 4: My other question for you is going to be about
- 3:44Speaker 4: the this whole accelerator head coaching accelerator program. So I
- 3:49Speaker 4: didn't actually know that was a thing until yesterday. Sounds
- 3:53Speaker 4: like Clayton Adams was invited something get invited to. I
- 3:56Speaker 4: guess if you show promising signs for the future, and
- 4:00Speaker 4: I think it's something we should want for our coaches,
- 4:02Speaker 4: provided you know, we get like a championship out of
- 4:05Speaker 4: it before they just leave. But I was wondering if
- 4:08Speaker 4: we've had other players. I mean, maybe this is a
- 4:10Speaker 4: new program. I don't know, but have we had other
- 4:13Speaker 4: coaches that players who have been in it that we
- 4:16Speaker 4: either that we haven't lost or that we have and
- 4:19Speaker 4: it's been a problem because I don't think I've ever
- 4:20Speaker 4: heard of it. So I mean, I guess it's a
- 4:22Speaker 4: sign we're in the right direction. And then one fun
- 4:25Speaker 4: question for you, I was wondering what your favorite part
- 4:29Speaker 4: of our schedule release video was, and then if you
- 4:31Speaker 4: had a besides ours favorite that you saw. I of
- 4:36Speaker 4: course like the pettiness of putting Micah on the Table
- 4:39Speaker 4: and then I think that was actually just released kind
- 4:42Speaker 4: of separately, and then I like the Simpsons video.
- 4:45Speaker 1: All right, all right, thanks, thanks Irene. It's a lot
- 4:49Speaker 1: to unpack. I haven't even I didn't even write all
- 4:51Speaker 1: that down. I don't really watch a lot of the
- 4:53Speaker 1: schedule release videos. I don't have the a tenches span
- 4:57Speaker 1: for that, to be honest with you. You know, there's
- 5:02Speaker 1: just my favorite one we ever did was the one
- 5:04Speaker 1: with Steven A. Smith. I thought that was really good.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I thought it was a very creative. But you know,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and in this one, you know, there there was you know,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you basically just rolled the ball out let the let
- 5:16Speaker 1: the tylers kind of have at it. And I just
- 5:19Speaker 1: like the fact that they kind of shot back at
- 5:22Speaker 1: at teams this year. And we you know, we we
- 5:25Speaker 1: take a lot of punches over the years, and at least,
- 5:29Speaker 1: if anything, there was some there were some jabs. It
- 5:31Speaker 1: wasn't some Haymakers, but it was some. It was some jabs.
- 5:34Speaker 1: It was good. I mean, if that was the case,
- 5:37Speaker 1: I kind of wish we were playing the Chargers, but
- 5:40Speaker 1: from from that standpoint, but I don't really watch a
- 5:42Speaker 1: lot of the other ones that we did. I mean, heck,
- 5:45Speaker 1: we had four, you know for the Cowboys alone. I
- 5:49Speaker 1: thought the one you know, the there, I mean, I
- 5:51Speaker 1: know the cheerleaders had one, so most had one with
- 5:55Speaker 1: a with a video game and and that you know,
- 5:58Speaker 1: like a roller coaster. That was pretty cool because that's
- 6:01Speaker 1: what a season is, it's definitely a roller coaster. I
- 6:03Speaker 1: thought that was really good. But going back to the schedule, schedule,
- 6:08Speaker 1: you know, Tampa Bay, that that's the one game that
- 6:11Speaker 1: I just I just I don't get it. And sounds
- 6:14Speaker 1: like that's the same with Irene I MEY just don't
- 6:15Speaker 1: get why you have to do that. You're already making
- 6:19Speaker 1: it tough coming back and then having a game right then.
- 6:23Speaker 1: But but why I put them on a short week?
- 6:25Speaker 1: You know, it's not like it's not like you're not
- 6:28Speaker 1: still feeling the effects of it. So I just Tampa
- 6:32Speaker 1: Bay on on on prime time? Like why? I mean,
- 6:35Speaker 1: how many games have have they ever ever had against
- 6:39Speaker 1: Tampa Bay like at night like that? Like I can
- 6:41Speaker 1: only think of maybe one or two, and most and
- 6:44Speaker 1: those have been on the road. I just can't. It's
- 6:46Speaker 1: just not it's unnecessary and it just seemed like it
- 6:49Speaker 1: was forced. But you know, at least at least after that,
- 6:53Speaker 1: you know, at least after that they have a few
- 6:55Speaker 1: days so they can get ready for at the Packers
- 6:57Speaker 1: at Philly. Thanks, all right, let's let's keep And that's
- 7:01Speaker 1: for the Clayton Adams part. With the with the coaching program.
- 7:05Speaker 1: This is new to me. I mean it's new to me.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I don't know how new it is in the league,
- 7:09Speaker 1: but it's new. It's not any something I've heard of
- 7:11Speaker 1: a lot. I'm sure you know the whether whether they
- 7:15Speaker 1: call it that or not. I mean, there's always been
- 7:18Speaker 1: somewhat of a program. There's always there's always people out
- 7:21Speaker 1: there that that are next in line for these jobs,
- 7:23Speaker 1: and you know, the Cowboys have had some and but
- 7:26Speaker 1: it all comes down to what you do right now.
- 7:28Speaker 1: These those guys that are in that program, if they
- 7:30Speaker 1: don't go out and they're they're they're side of the ball,
- 7:33Speaker 1: their unit there, whatever that they coach, doesn't have a
- 7:36Speaker 1: great year, then obviously it's not really gonna matter. So
- 7:39Speaker 1: it's cool to be in the program, to be on
- 7:41Speaker 1: on on radar, and you know that that's that's great
- 7:44Speaker 1: for these coaches because that's their livelihood. But obviously, like
- 7:48Speaker 1: anything else, just like a player in a contract year,
- 7:50Speaker 1: you've got to go out and perform this year. So
- 7:53Speaker 1: pressure's on. And good for him because I think he
- 7:55Speaker 1: gets he's under under the radar a little bit, which
- 7:58Speaker 1: is good I think for for Cowboy fans, you know.
- 8:01Speaker 1: But I think I think what Clayton and Adams did
- 8:03Speaker 1: last year coming in and with building that offensive side
- 8:07Speaker 1: of the ball, I don't think he got enough credit
- 8:10Speaker 1: for that for sure. Anthony and Miami's next, Anthony.
- 8:14Speaker 6: Nick the Quick? What's up my guy? Hey, what's going
- 8:18Speaker 6: on with your brother? I saw you the other day
- 8:20Speaker 6: on the Talking Cowboys. I saw that last night. Man
- 8:23Speaker 6: looked to see you on The Man did good?
- 8:26Speaker 1: Yeahciate.
- 8:27Speaker 6: I snuck a peek at the at the app and
- 8:31Speaker 6: that's how I do things. I work sixty two. That's
- 8:33Speaker 6: why I can't get to you no more. But I
- 8:36Speaker 6: saw it and I was like two fifty five? What
- 8:38Speaker 6: used to crazy? So I pulled over to the side
- 8:41Speaker 6: of here, I am man talking to my boys. I
- 8:44Speaker 6: want to say something on I want to say something
- 8:47Speaker 6: on this offensive defensive, these projections. Basically a lot of
- 8:50Speaker 6: people have Troy started at Troit, Man, and I think
- 8:54Speaker 6: you said something about it. The other day with Isaiah
- 8:57Speaker 6: and them about how our offense and we, you know,
- 9:01Speaker 6: kind of want to hope that the offense wouldn't score
- 9:03Speaker 6: as much and we would depend on this and that
- 9:05Speaker 6: because that'll make the defense. You won't have to score
- 9:08Speaker 6: as many points because the defense got better. I think
- 9:10Speaker 6: defense gonna be better anyway. I project anywhere seventeen to
- 9:14Speaker 6: twenty range, which is a great improvement, but the offense
- 9:18Speaker 6: still has to score. The offense still needs to score.
- 9:21Speaker 6: You can you can have a top ten defense and
- 9:24Speaker 6: you can have a top one defense and the top
- 9:25Speaker 6: one offense. And Troyce had it. So that's why I
- 9:28Speaker 6: was when he said it.
- 9:29Speaker 7: I was right.
- 9:30Speaker 6: He had a number on offense, number one defense. So
- 9:32Speaker 6: that doesn't you don't need to score less what you
- 9:34Speaker 6: need to do. And here's what everybody's overlooking when it
- 9:37Speaker 6: comes to offense. Yeah we were number one, but all
- 9:40Speaker 6: number ones are. I've built the light third down efficiency.
- 9:44Speaker 6: You know, we sucked red zone. We didn't do too well.
- 9:48Speaker 6: So the offense could have done more, you know, even
- 9:50Speaker 6: more than last year. Won two games. Maybe, So I
- 9:53Speaker 6: want the projections to stay as high, but I want
- 9:55Speaker 6: them to work on those mistakes and get better in
- 9:57Speaker 6: those areas, and then you'll have a number one floorishing
- 10:00Speaker 6: offense basically or top five along with that most improved defense.
- 10:04Speaker 6: And with the tough schedule, you should get ten and
- 10:06Speaker 6: Lemon wins. So that's all I wanted to say.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Man, all right, Anthony, good stuff. Yeah. And what I
- 10:15Speaker 1: was saying over there on Talking Cowboys, it was tuesday, Yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 1: that was yesterday. Yeah, these are long days.
- 10:26Speaker 8: No.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I I didn't like how it came out, is me
- 10:30Speaker 1: saying basically that I think the offense is something is overrated,
- 10:35Speaker 1: because first of all, what's the rating, you know what,
- 10:38Speaker 1: who who's rating them? I just think that it's they're
- 10:43Speaker 1: far from untouchable, which I think is what Anthony was saying. Also,
- 10:47Speaker 1: I mean when it was time to really, you know,
- 10:50Speaker 1: score early in games. You know, some of these shootout
- 10:53Speaker 1: type games that they didn't win. You you can put
- 10:56Speaker 1: that on on the offense. I mean, the defense obviously
- 10:59Speaker 1: was the problem. It forces you to be you know,
- 11:03Speaker 1: it forces you to be perfect over there. You know,
- 11:06Speaker 1: but if if you if you hurt your your your
- 11:08Speaker 1: right knee, and you know, and and you're on crutches,
- 11:12Speaker 1: but your left knee is is you know, kind of
- 11:14Speaker 1: banged up too. I mean, you're gonna just keep leaning
- 11:16Speaker 1: on it, leaning on it, well, you know that's not
- 11:19Speaker 1: gonna be feeling that grade either by the end of
- 11:21Speaker 1: the day. So, and that's what happened. They just have
- 11:23Speaker 1: to lean on the offense way too much. And and
- 11:26Speaker 1: they have they make mistakes. They go down there in
- 11:29Speaker 1: Denver and they're down the first and goal with the one,
- 11:31Speaker 1: and then they get a penalty and next thing, you know,
- 11:33Speaker 1: they kick a field goal, and and and and that
- 11:35Speaker 1: just kind of sets them back. And so and I'm
- 11:38Speaker 1: not saying that the best offense in the league doesn't
- 11:41Speaker 1: doesn't that doesn't happen to them, but you know, there
- 11:44Speaker 1: there were times where the offense could have been even
- 11:47Speaker 1: better than what we saw. And I think that, you know,
- 11:50Speaker 1: they have to, you know, just like the defense. Okay,
- 11:53Speaker 1: last year's last year, let's see what happens. Wipe the
- 11:55Speaker 1: slate clean, but the slate gets wiped the same way.
- 11:59Speaker 1: For the offense. They got to go back and do
- 12:01Speaker 1: it again. I think that's what I was trying to say.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Brian in Kansas City's next.
- 12:07Speaker 9: Hey, good afternoon, Nick, How are you, sir?
- 12:09Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you?
- 12:11Speaker 9: This is the head Coach Accelerator Program hotline.
- 12:15Speaker 1: All right, I guess yeah.
- 12:18Speaker 9: Yeah, what the hell?
- 12:19Speaker 7: Man?
- 12:19Speaker 9: Hey, listen, I want to start the salary negotiations right now.
- 12:24Speaker 9: That soob Jones owes me twelve dollars until I get it.
- 12:28Speaker 9: You know, I can't. I can't have my first day
- 12:30Speaker 9: just saying yeah. So anyway, the schedule, Yeah, I thought
- 12:41Speaker 9: the same thing everybody thought. I think, you know, listening
- 12:43Speaker 9: to what you and Irene said and you know other
- 12:46Speaker 9: people that have talked about it, they didn't do us
- 12:49Speaker 9: any favors early on. They did us a pretty good
- 12:52Speaker 9: favor later on, you know, with the weeks going into Thanksgiving,
- 12:57Speaker 9: all being at home, you know, the the buye before
- 13:03Speaker 9: having a very long break before Seattle, having a very
- 13:07Speaker 9: having the buy before the rams, lots of times to
- 13:11Speaker 9: prepare for you know, for the for those teams who
- 13:13Speaker 9: should be challenging. So I thought that was really good.
- 13:18Speaker 9: And I always prefer the late bye, you know. I
- 13:21Speaker 9: always think that if you're making any kind of playoff run,
- 13:26Speaker 9: that's the time to have it, you know, especially if
- 13:28Speaker 9: you've got to play a wild card game. Nowadays that
- 13:31Speaker 9: we only get one team gets the bye week at
- 13:36Speaker 9: the end of the season. So you know, my question
- 13:41Speaker 9: for you is is I'm just curious, because I only
- 13:44Speaker 9: started hearing this maybe a week ago. Do you think
- 13:48Speaker 9: there's any kind of competition for either tackle spot with
- 13:52Speaker 9: either the fourth round draft pick Thomas who you know, whoever?
- 13:56Speaker 9: Do you think there's any version of competent there or
- 14:01Speaker 9: is it presumptive Guiding and Steel are the guys that's
- 14:05Speaker 9: what we're going with, and somebody else would have to
- 14:08Speaker 9: shock us or there'd have to be an injury or
- 14:10Speaker 9: something like that. I'll take that off their brother and
- 14:12Speaker 9: I'll talk to you later.
- 14:13Speaker 7: Man.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate it the call, Brian. You know, that's always
- 14:18Speaker 1: the toughest spot in my opinion to have a competition,
- 14:24Speaker 1: maybe even tougher than quarterback, you know, because quarterback, you
- 14:29Speaker 1: you know, you come in with with the with the offense,
- 14:31Speaker 1: and then he gets reps with the offense. But you're
- 14:35Speaker 1: trying to build two things at once. You want to
- 14:39Speaker 1: see what this left tackle can do, let's say Tyler Geiton,
- 14:42Speaker 1: but you also want to see how he works in
- 14:44Speaker 1: the group with the other first teamers. So yeah, yes,
- 14:49Speaker 1: you can. You can continue to rotate that in, but
- 14:53Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily help your left guard as much because
- 14:56Speaker 1: he's kind of got different guys going and out. Now
- 14:58Speaker 1: it happens, and and and you know, I think I
- 15:01Speaker 1: think if if that's the best thing, if they're that close,
- 15:04Speaker 1: then I do think you should have some open competition.
- 15:07Speaker 1: But I think you said it best, Brian when you said,
- 15:11Speaker 1: do you think that it's it's guiding and Steel and
- 15:14Speaker 1: the other guys would have to kind of shock us,
- 15:16Speaker 1: and and that's probably what it'll be now. In training camp,
- 15:19Speaker 1: guys get banged up and they get held back for
- 15:22Speaker 1: other reasons and for you know, you know, rest and
- 15:25Speaker 1: and things like that. So you're going to see Drew
- 15:28Speaker 1: Shelton in there. You're going to see Nate Thomas. You're
- 15:31Speaker 1: gonna see Nate Thomas on both sides of the ball,
- 15:32Speaker 1: maybe Drew Shelton on both sides. Maybe Drew Shelton summit guard.
- 15:35Speaker 1: So I just feel like you're going to see them
- 15:40Speaker 1: operate and we'll get an understanding of how good they
- 15:43Speaker 1: are and if they're ready to compete. But I I
- 15:46Speaker 1: think the Cowboys really want Tyler Guidon and Terrence Steele
- 15:50Speaker 1: to be the tackles and and to kind of separate
- 15:53Speaker 1: themselves from the pack, and and just and just you know,
- 15:55Speaker 1: at the same time, they'll have some building continuity among
- 15:59Speaker 1: the the entire O line as well. But you know,
- 16:03Speaker 1: if they're not good enough, then they're not good enough.
- 16:06Speaker 1: And then don't don't discount what where Tyler Smith is
- 16:11Speaker 1: and all this, and if he were just you know,
- 16:14Speaker 1: slide over to tackle and you know, and if that
- 16:16Speaker 1: means that they throw another guard in, I mean, if TJ.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Bass is as good as as they think he is,
- 16:25Speaker 1: and there's some teams that had some interest in him,
- 16:28Speaker 1: you know that that's a that's a situation where where
- 16:31Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you know, obviously, could could get their best
- 16:34Speaker 1: guys on on the field for sure. All right, let's
- 16:37Speaker 1: go to uh, Chris and Saratoga Springs.
- 16:39Speaker 8: Chris, Hey, Nick, how's it going good?
- 16:42Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 16:44Speaker 8: Not too bad? I was I was watching on the
- 16:46Speaker 8: show yesterday. I thought you said you were going to
- 16:48Speaker 8: have the start of the show was going to be
- 16:50Speaker 8: a little bit more animated today.
- 16:51Speaker 7: What happened?
- 16:53Speaker 1: You know, I just gotta be me, you know, I mean,
- 16:57Speaker 1: that was animated. That was animated me, you know, I'm
- 17:01Speaker 1: just I'm not going to try to match Josh and
- 17:04Speaker 1: and as you know, Josh are trying to He's trying
- 17:06Speaker 1: to become like the ring announcer for you know, like RAW,
- 17:10Speaker 1: and I think he's got a good shot for it.
- 17:13Speaker 1: But you know I can't. I can't be that. So sorry,
- 17:17Speaker 1: I probably no, No, it's all good.
- 17:20Speaker 8: Uh just want to talk about the schedule real quick.
- 17:22Speaker 8: I just think the one game I really like is
- 17:25Speaker 8: the forty nine er game. I'm glad it's actually we
- 17:28Speaker 8: get a home game. We've been seen to play them
- 17:31Speaker 8: a lot at San Francis. I'm glad we got a
- 17:33Speaker 8: home game there. Just to piggyback on what you were
- 17:37Speaker 8: just saying about the offensive line, I think it's going
- 17:40Speaker 8: to be a quick decision right off the bat in
- 17:43Speaker 8: the first couple of games. If if Guidon struggles or
- 17:46Speaker 8: he gets hurt, I can see them moving Tyler to
- 17:50Speaker 8: left left tackle and then moving c J. Bass to
- 17:54Speaker 8: guard because I think CJ. Bass is fantastic, and I think,
- 17:58Speaker 8: you know, we're going to want to put the best
- 18:00Speaker 8: offensive lineman on there. And Dighton doesn't step up like
- 18:03Speaker 8: I'm hoping he does, I think they'll I think they'll
- 18:06Speaker 8: make a decision with with Tyler on that only question
- 18:11Speaker 8: I really got for you today, What do you think
- 18:13Speaker 8: about Holding as far as making the fifty three? I
- 18:19Speaker 8: think I know we had a good camp last year
- 18:21Speaker 8: and I'm glad we kept him on the practice squad.
- 18:23Speaker 8: Do you think he's gonna have a good shot at
- 18:25Speaker 8: making the initial fifty three?
- 18:27Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for the for the call, Tray. Sean Holden,
- 18:30Speaker 1: you're talking about number, he's a number seven. He was
- 18:35Speaker 1: seven on the practice squad last year, or Sean Gary
- 18:37Speaker 1: has that now? His number numbers are irrelevant at this
- 18:41Speaker 1: point in the season. Uh, go out there and and
- 18:45Speaker 1: make plays. I think it's gonna be a challenge. I
- 18:50Speaker 1: think it's I mean, he never did really make it
- 18:52Speaker 1: up to the roster and so his thing is going
- 18:59Speaker 1: to come down to the speed. I mean, that's that's
- 19:01Speaker 1: just what what's set and back, I mean, and it's
- 19:04Speaker 1: why he didn't get drafted. Really, he just doesn't have
- 19:07Speaker 1: that great, great speed, but he but he does make plays.
- 19:09Speaker 1: We'll see if if I mean, it's one thing to
- 19:11Speaker 1: run fast, it's another thing to play fast. And if
- 19:13Speaker 1: he can play fast, you know that there's been some receivers.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Some great receivers in this league that that that can
- 19:19Speaker 1: that can play fast. Great tight ends do it all
- 19:22Speaker 1: the time, you know. I mean, I don't know what
- 19:24Speaker 1: Jason Witten's forty time is and things like that, but
- 19:26Speaker 1: in his seventeenth year he was still unguardable at times.
- 19:29Speaker 1: And so you know, if you can be crafty and
- 19:32Speaker 1: figure out a way, and we'll see what what this
- 19:34Speaker 1: second year leap does for him. Doesn't help that. You know,
- 19:38Speaker 1: they drafted the seventh round or Anthony Smith, and this
- 19:41Speaker 1: guy can fly. So you know, there's gonna be some
- 19:44Speaker 1: other guys that do other trades. Really at that position though,
- 19:48Speaker 1: and I always say this, the last receiver spot usually
- 19:52Speaker 1: doesn't come down to who catches the ball and runs
- 19:54Speaker 1: routes to who can go down and make a tackle.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Because if you're if you're the last receiver and you
- 19:58Speaker 1: go down there and you show that you're you're willing
- 20:00Speaker 1: to play on special teams and smart enough to do
- 20:02Speaker 1: it and be the gunner or run down on kickoffs
- 20:05Speaker 1: and make plays and and and and you know, get
- 20:07Speaker 1: in there, even though you're a fast receiver, going there
- 20:09Speaker 1: and be tough enough to make a play that helps
- 20:12Speaker 1: you get on the team, and that helps you get
- 20:13Speaker 1: to the game on Sunday. So that's always been the
- 20:16Speaker 1: tricky part about those backup receivers. It's a really who
- 20:19Speaker 1: who's willing to go down there and tackle and and
- 20:21Speaker 1: and those guys can kind of make a career out
- 20:23Speaker 1: of it. So you know, we'll we'll see if if, if,
- 20:27Speaker 1: if Holden is a guy that can that can do
- 20:29Speaker 1: some of those things. But I'm I'm interested to see
- 20:33Speaker 1: how that whole wide receiver position, uh will pan out.
- 20:36Speaker 1: All right, let's go Joe and Stanford.
- 20:39Speaker 10: Hey, Hey, how's a going brother?
- 20:41Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 20:43Speaker 6: Man?
- 20:43Speaker 10: Great, I'm glad to get to talk to you again today. Man.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Everything good, Everything is great.
- 20:48Speaker 10: Good good.
- 20:49Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go this weekend that I'm going to
- 20:53Speaker 1: Stanford this weekend. Stanford graduation. Yeah, graduation going on over there.
- 20:58Speaker 10: So oh yeah, yeah, you got some family getting getting
- 21:02Speaker 10: out of the little for a time.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we'll see how they get out of it.
- 21:06Speaker 1: I don't know, man, say, but you know it's a
- 21:09Speaker 1: good place to stay. So what you got going on?
- 21:13Speaker 7: Man?
- 21:14Speaker 10: Well, you know, as far as the schedule goes, I
- 21:17Speaker 10: think the first five games is probably very huge. You know,
- 21:21Speaker 10: the beginning of the season is always big, but we
- 21:23Speaker 10: really need those first two division games, and I think
- 21:26Speaker 10: if we can get out of that first five three
- 21:29Speaker 10: and two, I think that would be a win. It's
- 21:32Speaker 10: going to be so hard, and you know, I think
- 21:34Speaker 10: that like that we were saying, the rest of the
- 21:36Speaker 10: schedule sort of shapes up. Okay, considering you know who
- 21:39Speaker 10: all we still have to play, but those first five
- 21:42Speaker 10: are rough. So three and two for me, i'd be
- 21:45Speaker 10: I mean, I want to do better, but I think
- 21:47Speaker 10: that'd be a good way to start as far as
- 21:49Speaker 10: the schedule goes.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Well, you say three and two, but then that means
- 21:53Speaker 1: green Bay and Philly on the road or right there,
- 21:55Speaker 1: So I hope that's down three and five or three
- 21:58Speaker 1: and four. Well could be.
- 22:01Speaker 10: I mean, I think I think we're gonna win at
- 22:03Speaker 10: least one of those two games. I don't think green
- 22:05Speaker 10: Bay is that good me and I'm very skeptical about
- 22:10Speaker 10: the quarterback in Philly. I think there's a good chance
- 22:13Speaker 10: he could even regress more than he already has. So
- 22:17Speaker 10: their offense is very questionable right now. We don't they
- 22:20Speaker 10: got a new offensive coordinator. They're gonna lose their best
- 22:22Speaker 10: offensive player here pretty soon. It sounds like, so who
- 22:26Speaker 10: knows what Philly's offense is even gonna look like. I mean,
- 22:28Speaker 10: I guess you could say their running back is their
- 22:30Speaker 10: best offensive player. But to me, that wide receiver was
- 22:32Speaker 10: the best guy they had, and they can't use him
- 22:34Speaker 10: because their quarterback doesn't know how to throw the ball
- 22:36Speaker 10: or re defenses.
- 22:37Speaker 7: So, uh, you.
- 22:39Speaker 10: Know, I mean, since he can't run the ball anymore,
- 22:41Speaker 10: I'm I think this is probably his last year of Philly.
- 22:44Speaker 11: That's my opinion.
- 22:46Speaker 10: As far as the old line goes. I think Guyton
- 22:51Speaker 10: is gonna surprise us this year as long as he
- 22:52Speaker 10: stays healthy. I don't think he was too terrible last year.
- 22:55Speaker 10: I think once he got hurt, it just sort of hurt,
- 22:58Speaker 10: you know, us all together. He stays healthy, he seems
- 23:02Speaker 10: to be really tight with with the other two Tilers,
- 23:05Speaker 10: and they seem to be hard workers. I think he's
- 23:07Speaker 10: got his head on straight. I think he's gonna be
- 23:09Speaker 10: good man. That's you know, what's sort of what I see.
- 23:12Speaker 10: I wanted to cover one other thing. I saw an
- 23:15Speaker 10: interview that Demo did Marvin overshown after some of the
- 23:20Speaker 10: I think that homerun Derby and he was talking. He
- 23:23Speaker 10: was talking about the coaching and the teaching and I
- 23:26Speaker 10: can't stress enough how excited I am to hear how
- 23:30Speaker 10: he's talking about the way these coaches are teaching and
- 23:34Speaker 10: how those guys are learning. I talked about this a
- 23:37Speaker 10: few calls back. I think this coaching staff is going
- 23:42Speaker 10: to be huge to the Dallas Cowboys. Man, I'll take
- 23:45Speaker 10: it off there, have a good one.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for the for the call. And when you
- 23:50Speaker 1: said that about the coaching, I'll say that about the
- 23:53Speaker 1: old line about Guidon. Yeah, I think I think Giden.
- 23:56Speaker 1: I think he can surprise us. You know, I think
- 23:59Speaker 1: the expectations are or somewhat low for him from the outside.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys still have high expectations for him.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Remember he was he was a raw, you know, project,
- 24:12Speaker 1: even though his first rounder. They knew he has to
- 24:16Speaker 1: do some work there and that's what he's been doing.
- 24:19Speaker 1: He needs to play, he needs to be consistent. You know.
- 24:24Speaker 1: You look at Terrence Steele on that other side. Terren
- 24:26Speaker 1: Steele suffered a knee injury and too, I think it
- 24:29Speaker 1: was what twenty twenty two at the end of the season,
- 24:32Speaker 1: like week thirteen, and gets the cold, so and then
- 24:36Speaker 1: he came back. He came back, he was ready at
- 24:38Speaker 1: training camp and he has not missed a game. I
- 24:40Speaker 1: think he's played like three years in a row, fifty
- 24:44Speaker 1: one games in a row, and maybe a playoff game
- 24:48Speaker 1: in there as well, you know, since that injury. So
- 24:51Speaker 1: consistency is what what he you know, is working for him.
- 24:55Speaker 1: And I think that's exactly what what guy needs now.
- 24:58Speaker 1: To go back to your question, you're talking about overshowing
- 25:01Speaker 1: the word that I wrote down, I mean, it's funny.
- 25:03Speaker 1: It's one of those five w's. We we know who
- 25:08Speaker 1: is out there and and and what they're trying to do,
- 25:11Speaker 1: and where they need to be and when and all that.
- 25:14Speaker 1: But the why, the why is something that I think
- 25:18Speaker 1: is a very big part of what Christian Parker is
- 25:22Speaker 1: trying to teach. Why am I supposed to be here?
- 25:25Speaker 1: Don't just tell me where to go? Some players want
- 25:27Speaker 1: to do, just tell me where to go to? When?
- 25:28Speaker 1: When they when the running back is here, then where
- 25:31Speaker 1: am I here? Okay? And if a guy goes in
- 25:33Speaker 1: motion and where do I go here?
- 25:35Speaker 10: No?
- 25:35Speaker 1: I go here? Okay?
- 25:36Speaker 7: No?
- 25:36Speaker 1: But why? That's what he wants you to understand. Why
- 25:40Speaker 1: are we doing this. Why are we doing what we're doing,
- 25:43Speaker 1: and where we're lining you up? What are we trying
- 25:46Speaker 1: to accomplish? And and not just which which player do
- 25:49Speaker 1: I take, but why do you take him over him?
- 25:52Speaker 1: Understanding it's a different of memorizing the test and understanding
- 25:56Speaker 1: the answers. You know, when I was in school, that's
- 26:00Speaker 1: what I try to just memorize it, just memorize it
- 26:02Speaker 1: and just get it and then when I take it,
- 26:04Speaker 1: hopefully I pass and I move on with it. But
- 26:07Speaker 1: that doesn't help you as far as knowing the answers
- 26:09Speaker 1: and really understanding what you're reading, what you're doing. And
- 26:13Speaker 1: that's what I think Christian Parker's trying to do. And
- 26:14Speaker 1: I think you know that the players really gravitate towards that.
- 26:18Speaker 1: And we'll see, we'll see how it translates on the field.
- 26:21Speaker 1: All right, let's go to break here on Cowboys storyline.
- 26:23Speaker 1: We'll be right back after.

- 29:34Speaker 1: I mean we're talking like Irene, Anthony, Brian, Chris, Joe.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Sebastian is next. We get to get Sebastian on the
- 29:41Speaker 1: line right now. But they're all on the team. They're

- 29:48Speaker 3: Just buying misreaming?
- 29:49Speaker 10: How you doing?
- 29:50Speaker 1: I'm good? Are you?
- 29:52Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 29:52Speaker 11: I think it's for me.
- 29:53Speaker 3: You know, I'm a medium or large, it doesn't matter.
- 29:55Speaker 3: But no matter what color it is, the storyline is
- 29:57Speaker 3: gonna make it look sacty. But as for the schedule,
- 30:01Speaker 3: because that's what we're talking about right now. I like
- 30:04Speaker 3: the schedule a lot Actually, I feel like we're going
- 30:07Speaker 3: to be battle tested, and if we get to the
- 30:08Speaker 3: playoffs with this schedule, we're going to deserve to be there,
- 30:11Speaker 3: unlike how the Charges were last year where they lost
- 30:13Speaker 3: immediately because they had a cupcake schedule and then the
- 30:16Speaker 3: week fourteen when you look at that, but by week
- 30:18Speaker 3: that's perfect because you're in that last push for that
- 30:21Speaker 3: last four game. So if if there's anything on the line,
- 30:24Speaker 3: we have just rested right before that last quarter of
- 30:27Speaker 3: the season.
- 30:28Speaker 10: So that's I think that's super dope.
- 30:29Speaker 3: When I'm trying to get to and it's hard to
- 30:31Speaker 3: swing because I'm supposed to be in Thailand like a
- 30:34Speaker 3: week later, I'm trying to get to that real game.
- 30:37Speaker 3: So I've been talking to the girl. I said, listen,
- 30:39Speaker 3: I know we go to Thailand for like my birthday
- 30:41Speaker 3: a week later, but I said, we can go to this.
- 30:44Speaker 3: I said, I'll switch it for this game or whatever
- 30:46Speaker 3: in Brazil because that would be dope. So we're talking
- 30:48Speaker 3: about that right now. But outside of that, with the
- 30:50Speaker 3: Office of Defense, I actually think that our offense might
- 30:53Speaker 3: take a little bit of a step back this year.
- 30:55Speaker 3: I wouldn't panic on that. We're still going to be
- 30:56Speaker 3: within the top ten. But I think our defense is
- 30:59Speaker 3: going to sty to balance it out, and we're gonna
- 31:01Speaker 3: lean a little bit more on the running game this
- 31:02Speaker 3: season to tire our teams out so we can get
- 31:05Speaker 3: our defense even up to that twenties level, you know,
- 31:09Speaker 3: or the opportunistic a team. I think that that would
- 31:12Speaker 3: bring those four games that we couldn't win last year
- 31:14Speaker 3: to get us to like an eleven and six record,
- 31:16Speaker 3: and then we make the playoffs with that. But once
- 31:18Speaker 3: the season is over with, yeah, and we get to
- 31:21Speaker 3: the playoffs, we can make a serious push. But I
- 31:23Speaker 3: do believe that it's going to balance out a little
- 31:24Speaker 3: bit more because this is season two for Schottenheimer and
- 31:28Speaker 3: it always catches up to you in season two that
- 31:30Speaker 3: people have seen your plays, they've had some tape on you. Now,
- 31:32Speaker 3: so we're going to take a little bit of a
- 31:33Speaker 3: step back. But you guys, have a great day and
- 31:36Speaker 3: thanks call you next time.
- 31:37Speaker 1: All right, that's good stuff. Yeah, you know, this might
- 31:41Speaker 1: be a situation, like you said, of less is more
- 31:44Speaker 1: with with with the offense. You know, maybe less passing
- 31:48Speaker 1: yards out of DC means you know, the third and
- 31:51Speaker 1: fourth quarter is not just trying to you know, get
- 31:54Speaker 1: scrambled to get back into the game. It's to try
- 31:57Speaker 1: to protect the lead and work the clock and and
- 32:00Speaker 1: you know, be conservative a little bit and uh, safe
- 32:03Speaker 1: plays and and you know, just play smart football. And
- 32:06Speaker 1: also when you think about it, you know there's times
- 32:10Speaker 1: last year when it's fourth and four and you're down
- 32:13Speaker 1: by ten, you know, and it's the balls at midfield.
- 32:17Speaker 1: You know, fourth and four, down by ten. I mean
- 32:19Speaker 1: you got to go for it, right and you got
- 32:20Speaker 1: you got Dak Prescott, you got CD got Pickings, you
- 32:22Speaker 1: got Ferguson. You know, you can get four yards and
- 32:26Speaker 1: and and I'm sure the analytics tell you to do that,
- 32:30Speaker 1: but you know, with nine minutes to go in the game, whatever,
- 32:33Speaker 1: especially with the defense, we're you gonna lean on the defense.
- 32:36Speaker 1: But what if you can What if your defense is
- 32:39Speaker 1: good enough? What if your defense is playing well? And
- 32:41Speaker 1: you and you and now now you're up ten, you know, uh,
- 32:45Speaker 1: do you go for it? Do you punt it? Do
- 32:46Speaker 1: you say I will punt it. We got a good punter.
- 32:48Speaker 1: We get it down there to the ten yard line,
- 32:50Speaker 1: and let's play defense and let's get after it and
- 32:53Speaker 1: and you know, try to you know, get the ball back,
- 32:55Speaker 1: get turned over, get some pressure. So I think I
- 32:57Speaker 1: just think having confidence in the defense is going to
- 33:02Speaker 1: change everything. It's just going to allow you to play
- 33:03Speaker 1: more balance, and to be more balance. You're going to
- 33:06Speaker 1: have less yards on on offense, but hopefully giving up
- 33:09Speaker 1: a lot less yards on defense. It's kind of the
- 33:13Speaker 1: way it works, all right. Josh in Chicago, Josh, what's up, man?
- 33:16Speaker 12: Hey?
- 33:16Speaker 14: You making first go?
- 33:17Speaker 9: How you doing good?
- 33:18Speaker 1: How are you? I was gonna say, Man, don't be
- 33:22Speaker 1: messing with me now, you guys, I swear I need
- 33:27Speaker 1: to I need to see a picture. I need to
- 33:29Speaker 1: see a picture because if you guys look the same,
- 33:31Speaker 1: then that's going to be even crazier, you know, Josh,
- 33:33Speaker 1: what's up man?
- 33:35Speaker 7: Hey?
- 33:35Speaker 14: So I was watching the video. I hope we have
- 33:38Speaker 14: a Tyler on the storylines. You know, we need somebody
- 33:40Speaker 14: on that council.
- 33:41Speaker 1: We need to an.
- 33:41Speaker 14: Agent somewhere out there.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Tyler.
- 33:45Speaker 14: I don't know if we have one. I started thinking,
- 33:47Speaker 14: I don't know if we got one.
- 33:48Speaker 1: Yea, I maybe? Yeah, I mean no, I feel like
- 33:54Speaker 1: there is a Tyler. I don't know, Well we have
- 33:58Speaker 1: any caller from Tyler? Tyler?
- 34:01Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 34:03Speaker 14: You so I'll shout you out for two things. One,
- 34:06Speaker 14: loved you on Talking Cowboys yesterday. If anyone hasn't watched that,
- 34:10Speaker 14: go out there. And because it's really good and I
- 34:12Speaker 14: have a.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Lot of fun over there. They do. Yeah, and they
- 34:17Speaker 1: even though when they they'll they'll have to have a
- 34:19Speaker 1: little turn turnover every now and again, you know, different people,
- 34:22Speaker 1: because Isaiah's gotten a schedule, and Patrick's been out some
- 34:25Speaker 1: and Kyle's schedules all over the place too, And.
- 34:27Speaker 14: So I got all those kids, you know.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, kids will they'll they'll limit your your time
- 34:35Speaker 1: for sure.
- 34:36Speaker 14: Oh yeah.
- 34:36Speaker 1: But but even so though it's it's like the theme
- 34:39Speaker 1: is the same, regardless of the people are in there.
- 34:41Speaker 1: It's it's all kind of the same. They do a
- 34:43Speaker 1: good job. So I had fun doing it.
- 34:47Speaker 14: So the other thing I got to shout you out
- 34:49Speaker 14: for and and I think it's a big deal, is
- 34:51Speaker 14: your article about Sam Williams, I think, and the reason
- 34:55Speaker 14: I want to bring that up. If anyone hasn't read it,
- 34:57Speaker 14: you should go take a read on it. I think
- 34:59Speaker 14: Sam Williams is one of those pieces that we haven't
- 35:01Speaker 14: always found the right way to utilize him. And for me,
- 35:04Speaker 14: I think going into this season He's somebody who can
- 35:07Speaker 14: be very dangerous and effective. And I think one of
- 35:10Speaker 14: the things he talked about in that article or that
- 35:12Speaker 14: you talked about is noting how disciplined Christian Parkers. So
- 35:16Speaker 14: hopefully that rubs off on Sam Williams in a positive
- 35:18Speaker 14: way right on the field. And for me, he's a
- 35:21Speaker 14: key player this season to success if they can utilize
- 35:24Speaker 14: him the right way and put him in the right
- 35:26Speaker 14: position and make plays. I think he can make those plays.
- 35:28Speaker 14: For who would be a key player for you going
- 35:30Speaker 14: into this season? I'll take off there.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Who would be a key player like that? Is that
- 35:34Speaker 1: what you're asking?
- 35:35Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 35:35Speaker 14: Yeah, not obviously one of the big ones, because obviously
- 35:37Speaker 14: we could all say Caleb downs right, or say Jack
- 35:40Speaker 14: right or Pickens or whoever, right, But one of these
- 35:42Speaker 14: guys that we just re signed, or someone who's not
- 35:45Speaker 14: you know, top tier, about somebody that we really need
- 35:47Speaker 14: to step up.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, thanks for the call. I mean, boy,
- 35:52Speaker 1: it's about twenty people you could throw in there. I
- 35:56Speaker 1: would say, you know, guys that didn't initially come to
- 36:00Speaker 1: g you know, Tyler, Tyler Goyton, you know, just did
- 36:03Speaker 1: you got an important position over there protecting the left
- 36:06Speaker 1: tackle and you kind of want him to take that
- 36:08Speaker 1: that leap. You know, d Winters would be would be
- 36:11Speaker 1: one that man. It sure would be good to have him,
- 36:14Speaker 1: uh solidify that position and if Overshown can can have
- 36:19Speaker 1: a really good you know year as well and be
- 36:22Speaker 1: healthy and maybe those guys can work together. They've known
- 36:24Speaker 1: each other for a while. I thought that was interesting
- 36:26Speaker 1: how they both came into the league together and they've
- 36:28Speaker 1: known each other, Uh, Texas guy uh in in Overshown
- 36:33Speaker 1: and Winners was from TCU and so they they definitely
- 36:36Speaker 1: know of each other and and drafted you know about
- 36:39Speaker 1: the same time and all that. So they followed each
- 36:42Speaker 1: other's career now and now teammates together. But back to
- 36:45Speaker 1: Sam Williams, you know, I thought was was was interesting.
- 36:48Speaker 1: I think the headline was old and new, but it's
- 36:50Speaker 1: really old new and old.
- 36:52Speaker 6: Uh.
- 36:52Speaker 1: You know, he wanted to come back to the team
- 36:54Speaker 1: where where he was familiar with you know, he wanted
- 36:57Speaker 1: to kind of stay the same there, but he knew
- 37:00Speaker 1: his position would change as a as an outside linebacker.
- 37:04Speaker 1: But then it is somewhat old for him because this
- 37:06Speaker 1: is why he did it Ole Miss and so like
- 37:10Speaker 1: what I did there, so it's old. It's an old
- 37:12Speaker 1: position for him, but he's played this before and he's
- 37:16Speaker 1: had some success. And so when the Cowboys were looking
- 37:18Speaker 1: at his tape and it was really Jerry, because Jerry
- 37:20Speaker 1: absolutely loved this pick, you know, it was he was
- 37:26Speaker 1: doing things there at ole miss from this type of position.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Don't forget this part too, about about Sam Williams as
- 37:35Speaker 1: a defensive end, whatever the position he was, he's blocking
- 37:38Speaker 1: a lot of punts, kicks, he can get back there.
- 37:41Speaker 1: You can't do that if you don't have a burst.
- 37:43Speaker 1: And so this is this is gonna be one of
- 37:45Speaker 1: those positions where he's going north. He's just gonna go north.
- 37:49Speaker 1: And yes, he needs to stop the run and he's
- 37:52Speaker 1: going to have to be disciplined in that regard. But
- 37:55Speaker 1: I think that the explosiveness that he has off the
- 37:57Speaker 1: edge is what is really going is what the Cowboys.
- 38:00Speaker 1: I think you're tapping into here. And I think it's
- 38:02Speaker 1: a position that that could kind of help him, you know,
- 38:05Speaker 1: don't have to do a lot of you know, you know,
- 38:08Speaker 1: reading the defense and things like that. Sure that that
- 38:12Speaker 1: will help you at times. But I think when he's
- 38:15Speaker 1: in the game, I think he's he's gonna have that
- 38:17Speaker 1: job to go go get the quarterback, and I think
- 38:19Speaker 1: that that's gonna be something that really really benefits him.
- 38:22Speaker 1: All Right, one more break here on Cowboys storyline. We

- 40:01Speaker 1: squad members got yeties this year. We're back to T shirts.
- 40:06Speaker 1: T shirts sponsored Broder letting me show this off again,
- 40:10Speaker 1: very very soft. It feels a lot better than it looks.
- 40:12Speaker 1: It looks cool too, but it feels better and the
- 40:16Speaker 1: first teamers and the captains also will get some. I
- 40:18Speaker 1: should have brought that down to the It's a Cowboys razor.
- 40:22Speaker 1: It comes in a nice little box and it looks
- 40:24Speaker 1: like it's looks like there might be a couple in there,
- 40:27Speaker 1: but it's just one. There's just one, just like with
- 40:30Speaker 1: when it comes to shaving with the Cowboys, is just
- 40:34Speaker 1: one and it's Gillette, all right. Dylan Northport, Florida, the
- 40:38Speaker 1: next Dylan, what's up?
- 40:40Speaker 7: Hey? How you doing.
- 40:41Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 40:42Speaker 5: How are you I'm doing good? I mean, I got
- 40:44Speaker 5: a couple of things for you just too here today.
- 40:46Speaker 5: One about the schedule. Another one's a player comparison. All right,
- 40:50Speaker 5: I look at the schedule and this is I don't
- 40:53Speaker 5: know about previous years. Have to go back and look,
- 40:56Speaker 5: but I don't know if I've seen the schedule that
- 40:57Speaker 5: I was less excited about. As far as like the
- 41:01Speaker 5: strength of it goes, this looks tough, dude, because you
- 41:03Speaker 5: go to you play your home game air quotes home
- 41:06Speaker 5: game in Rio against Baltimore, and then you go to
- 41:09Speaker 5: play against Houston. Now they hooked you up. It's only
- 41:12Speaker 5: a forty five minute flighty or whatever it is right
- 41:14Speaker 5: down there, but that's a tough defense, and they're gonna
- 41:18Speaker 5: beat you up. Baltimore is gonna beat you up. And
- 41:19Speaker 5: then you got to turn around on Thursday night and
- 41:22Speaker 5: you're still dealing basically three weeks of dealing with the
- 41:25Speaker 5: repercussions of Rio.
- 41:26Speaker 9: Back to back to back.
- 41:27Speaker 5: So that's super tough. And then there's not really an
- 41:30Speaker 5: easy team as is Sitch right now, now, you don't
- 41:32Speaker 5: know what's gonna happen during the season, but as a
- 41:34Speaker 5: sitch right now, and how it looks you don't really
- 41:35Speaker 5: have an easy team. Even Arizona beat you. But every
- 41:38Speaker 5: time you play it seems like and that should be
- 41:40Speaker 5: a win. But I say that every year and every
- 41:42Speaker 5: time you play them, it's not so. I mean, this
- 41:44Speaker 5: is this is pretty brutal. But like the last caller said,
- 41:47Speaker 5: if you or whoever it was a set it, if
- 41:48Speaker 5: you get into the playoffs, you earned it and your
- 41:50Speaker 5: battle tested and you got a little more confidence I
- 41:52Speaker 5: think you know going in.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. I mean that is fair, and you're right.
- 41:57Speaker 1: You can't look at any of these teams and say,
- 42:00Speaker 1: you know that that's gonna be you know, easy. But
- 42:03Speaker 1: but I also don't think you can look at any
- 42:04Speaker 1: of these games and think that there's no way the
- 42:06Speaker 1: Cowboys would win. I mean there's not one on here.
- 42:09Speaker 1: I mean at Seattle on a Monday night seems pretty tough.
- 42:12Speaker 1: But but that's gonna that's always gonna be It's always
- 42:16Speaker 1: gonna be a challenge. But I mean they can go
- 42:18Speaker 1: win in these games at Green Bay, at Philly, uh,
- 42:22Speaker 1: you know, at Houston and they they can win that game.
- 42:25Speaker 1: You know, you can put air quotes around Baltimore being
- 42:27Speaker 1: a home game because it's in Rio. But I mean,
- 42:30Speaker 1: can you do the same at Houston?
- 42:32Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it's just a tough stretch there. I
- 42:37Speaker 5: mean it's just two teams are gonna beat you up,
- 42:40Speaker 5: and it's a short turnaround and all that travel and stuff.
- 42:42Speaker 7: I think it's a little tough.
- 42:43Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, maybe the Cowboys can be a team that
- 42:46Speaker 1: can start beating people up too. I mean, like, like really,
- 42:48Speaker 1: like you've got you know, four guys in the middle
- 42:52Speaker 1: of that defense that now way over three twenty. I mean,
- 42:55Speaker 1: like it's a bigger it's a bigger defense. It's not
- 42:58Speaker 1: a finesse type defense. Now, this this defense is going
- 43:00Speaker 1: to be one that's going to get after him and
- 43:03Speaker 1: you know, and the linebacker's got to go run and hit.
- 43:05Speaker 1: I mean that that's what the winners has got to do.
- 43:08Speaker 1: That's what overshrow's got to do. That that's how they
- 43:10Speaker 1: categorize themselves run and hit type players. Well, emphasize on
- 43:14Speaker 1: the hit part, you know, because because you should be
- 43:15Speaker 1: able to go run to the ball what happens when
- 43:17Speaker 1: you get there. But be that team, you know, maybe
- 43:20Speaker 1: maybe that's what the Cowboys identity is and that that
- 43:23Speaker 1: could certainly help them, because you know you're right about
- 43:25Speaker 1: these other teams. You know that they're going to bring
- 43:28Speaker 1: the physicality as well.
- 43:31Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it would be good to see. And I'm
- 43:33Speaker 5: high in the defense. You know that by now, I'm
- 43:34Speaker 5: probably too high on this defense from where it was
- 43:36Speaker 5: last year to where it is now. But I think
- 43:38Speaker 5: it's going to be a really good group, even though
- 43:40Speaker 5: it's still going to be rebuilding. You know next year
- 43:42Speaker 5: it won't be completely rebuilt. I think they're going to
- 43:45Speaker 5: be very, very, very good this year and that'll help
- 43:48Speaker 5: the offense obviously and everything as far as the player
- 43:51Speaker 5: comp goes. I put this out on Twitter, and I
- 43:52Speaker 5: know it's a good question, so I'm getting all sorts
- 43:54Speaker 5: of mixed responses on it. So I want to ask
- 43:56Speaker 5: you Wide Receiver Group twenty twenty one. You Cede Lamb
- 44:00Speaker 5: who was still young developing again, Amari Cooper who obviously
- 44:03Speaker 5: was really good, and then you had pre ACL Michael Gallup,
- 44:06Speaker 5: so really good Michael Gallup, and then today's wide receiver
- 44:10Speaker 5: group Lamb, Pickens and Flernola Illinois. Which group would you
- 44:13Speaker 5: pick out of those two?
- 44:15Speaker 1: And when you when you say that you're saying what
- 44:18Speaker 1: it was, then like what what right? Yeah?
- 44:22Speaker 5: Yeah, so young developing CD versus Elite CD now, but
- 44:25Speaker 5: then it kind of evens out because you got young
- 44:27Speaker 5: and developing FLINOI versus Peak Gallup. And then maybe Amari
- 44:32Speaker 5: and Pickens are a wash. But I kind of like
- 44:33Speaker 5: Pickens better and what he brings versus what Amury brings.
- 44:36Speaker 5: So I don't know. I think it's a tough, tough question.
- 44:39Speaker 5: I would go lamb Pickens and Illinoy myself, and maybe
- 44:41Speaker 5: that's just recency bias, but I think Elite CD and
- 44:45Speaker 5: really probably Elite Pickens are are better than the other
- 44:48Speaker 5: other two slash three What year was that, twenty twenty one?
- 44:53Speaker 5: And if you want to make it real tough, you
- 44:54Speaker 5: could also go fourth wide receiver, which Cedrick Wilson was
- 44:57Speaker 5: was there as well, which really complicates at that point.
- 45:00Speaker 1: You know, that's exactly what I was doing, was looking
- 45:02Speaker 1: at that Cedric Wilson forty five catches there. Yeah, I
- 45:08Speaker 1: mean that's actually more than what Gallup had. He had
- 45:12Speaker 1: he had you know, more touchdowns and more yards and
- 45:16Speaker 1: all that. So I mean, yeah, if you did that
- 45:18Speaker 1: as the fourth and the reason why I was doing
- 45:21Speaker 1: that is because I I have a different opinion. I
- 45:26Speaker 1: think I learned this at lunch yesterday of just talking
- 45:28Speaker 1: to some certain people there at Chris was one of
- 45:30Speaker 1: them about Turpin. I like Turpin. I like what he
- 45:34Speaker 1: brings to the offense, even if he's not catching a pass.
- 45:37Speaker 1: I think he brings some kind of, you know, a weapon,
- 45:40Speaker 1: just because of the speed. So I look at it
- 45:44Speaker 1: as four guys and you put Cedric Wilson on there,
- 45:47Speaker 1: even with those stats, and I look at Turpin, I look,
- 45:50Speaker 1: I go with this group, this current group, because who
- 45:53Speaker 1: scares you? CD wasn't scaring you as much back then. Amari,
- 45:58Speaker 1: He's got a good route running gallup. They're more crafty,
- 46:01Speaker 1: veteran type. CD now I think is as scarier player.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Picking certainly is, and I think I think Turpin is
- 46:08Speaker 1: as well. And even Flinoy is a little bit more explosive.
- 46:11Speaker 1: So I think from a speed explosive, just kind of
- 46:14Speaker 1: who keeps you up at night if you're the DC,
- 46:17Speaker 1: I think it would be this group. Plus let's not
- 46:19Speaker 1: forget Dak Prescott's a better quarterback now than he was then.
- 46:23Speaker 1: Dak he's just better. I mean, he's just been in
- 46:25Speaker 1: the league more and so you've got a better player
- 46:28Speaker 1: throwing the football to him. So I think from that standpoint,
- 46:31Speaker 1: that's a great question. I mean, it really is. And heck,
- 46:35Speaker 1: people might call and here in a run out of time,
- 46:39Speaker 1: but they might call and say, you know that they
- 46:41Speaker 1: have a different opinion. But for me, I think this
- 46:44Speaker 1: this group would be better, but not by much.
- 46:47Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 46:47Speaker 5: On Twitter, it's split on nearly fifty to fifty. I
- 46:50Speaker 5: think I got a bunch of the responses, but I
- 46:51Speaker 5: think the current one is winning. But it's very close.
- 46:54Speaker 5: It's very close, and I'm not with you as much.
- 46:57Speaker 5: On Turpin, he scares me as an if I was
- 46:59Speaker 5: an OC because he you know, I'm not really comfortable
- 47:02Speaker 5: with his hands. He's a bit of a body catcher
- 47:03Speaker 5: and he kind of jumps and doesn't have to and
- 47:05Speaker 5: I don't know if it's because he has small hands
- 47:06Speaker 5: or what, but that makes me a little nervous because
- 47:09Speaker 5: I hate all he's got sixty yards weight open drops
- 47:11Speaker 5: the ball. I'd hate for that to happen, and we
- 47:13Speaker 5: saw a case of that drops. He's a couple of times.
- 47:14Speaker 5: He's also mad a couple of nice catches though, to
- 47:16Speaker 5: be fair to him, but that does concern me a
- 47:18Speaker 5: little bit about Turpin, And I'm not even sure if
- 47:21Speaker 5: Holding and those guys all get a fair shake at camp.
- 47:24Speaker 5: I don't know if Turpin's fourth, fifth, I don't know
- 47:26Speaker 5: where he's at. And he'll obviously have a roster's buck
- 47:28Speaker 5: of the special teams, but I'm not sure where he
- 47:30Speaker 5: fits as far as where he's gonna be on a
- 47:32Speaker 5: depth chart. Maybe I'm way off on that, but that's
- 47:34Speaker 5: kind of my thoughts on Turpin.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Fair fair, all right, Dylan, appreciate that the call. You
- 47:40Speaker 1: know what I'll add to that is, I think Turpin's
- 47:43Speaker 1: a fourth receiver, regardless of who's in front or behind him.
- 47:46Speaker 1: I just think that's kind of the role. I mean,
- 47:48Speaker 1: you're gonna come to the game because you're going to
- 47:49Speaker 1: be on special teams and we'll get you out there
- 47:52Speaker 1: on offense. You got to know where to be. But
- 47:54Speaker 1: but I think that there's there's a there's a part
- 47:57Speaker 1: out there of you mentioned some these other guys. They're
- 48:01Speaker 1: not They're not going eighty six yards down the middle
- 48:03Speaker 1: of the field against Washington. They're just they're just not.
- 48:05Speaker 1: And they they against Houston a couple of years ago,
- 48:08Speaker 1: caught a slant over the middle, just took it to
- 48:09Speaker 1: the house for sixty five like that that kind of speed.
- 48:14Speaker 1: People know it. Like safety, there's number nine out there, like, okay,
- 48:18Speaker 1: watch out for him, even if he's not getting the
- 48:20Speaker 1: ball or not. I think it gives you, uh an
- 48:24Speaker 1: aspect of the game that that that is it's just
- 48:26Speaker 1: tough to to cover everybody. And uh, okay, I got
- 48:29Speaker 1: we've got two guys over here. The safety is gonna
- 48:31Speaker 1: cheat over for Pickens. You know, we're gonna we're gonna
- 48:33Speaker 1: take this slant away from from CD. All right, we
- 48:36Speaker 1: gotta watch. We've gotta linebacker on Ferguson, so watch out
- 48:39Speaker 1: for this or safety doing this. And then here's Turpin.
- 48:42Speaker 1: So if you don't have the right guy on him,
- 48:44Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he can he can create some space,
- 48:46Speaker 1: and and he's dangerous in the in the open field.
- 48:49Speaker 1: So I just think it's another guy. Yeah, he's scary.
- 48:51Speaker 1: I mean yeah to two fair catches, you know, and
- 48:54Speaker 1: when he's not supposed to like back to back weeks
- 48:57Speaker 1: and mean, yeah, that that's that's not ideal. But you
- 49:01Speaker 1: get what you get. And and and he I think
- 49:04Speaker 1: I think, uh, there's a risk reward there. I think
- 49:06Speaker 1: there's a little bit more reward in my book. All
- 49:09Speaker 1: right Jr. And Ivandale Arizona Jr.
- 49:12Speaker 7: How's it going good afternoon?
- 49:14Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up man?
- 49:16Speaker 7: Same old, same old. So anyway, now, the NFL doesn't
- 49:21Speaker 7: do the Cowboys any favors, as we've been talking about.
- 49:25Speaker 7: I was happy. I looked first around Thanksgiving to says
- 49:28Speaker 7: they always do the three games of eleven days. Until
- 49:31Speaker 7: I realized that they did that to I said, he's
- 49:33Speaker 7: got us in the first part of the season with
- 49:35Speaker 7: Baltimore Houston and Baltimore Houston and Tampa Bay. So at
- 49:44Speaker 7: the start of the season is is it's tough. Can't
- 49:49Speaker 7: go three two? Really need to go five and oh.
- 49:52Speaker 7: So I was wondering when the last time the Cowboys
- 49:54Speaker 7: went five and oh? Do you know what that was?
- 49:56Speaker 7: Off your top of your heads, it's a long time ago.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Seven.
- 50:01Speaker 7: No, last time they were five and oh was nineteen
- 50:03Speaker 7: eighty three. They were five and oh in nineteen eighty three.
- 50:06Speaker 7: Last time they were four to oh was two thousand
- 50:08Speaker 7: and seven. Nice with that being that that that didn't
- 50:12Speaker 7: make it to the super Bowl, that probably should have,
- 50:14Speaker 7: you know, but.
- 50:15Speaker 1: You know what I know about that that five and
- 50:17Speaker 1: eighty three. Uh, they might have gone six and oh
- 50:20Speaker 1: two or seven or maybe seven or eight. No, but
- 50:22Speaker 1: I think every one of those games they had to
- 50:24Speaker 1: come back in the second half, every one of them.
- 50:26Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and crazy.
- 50:28Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's that's like I've said it on here
- 50:30Speaker 1: many times. That's the first year of football that I
- 50:33Speaker 1: could really really remember. I remember every game. I can
- 50:35Speaker 1: probably tell you the score. It's about every game in
- 50:37Speaker 1: eighty three.
- 50:38Speaker 7: Uh.
- 50:38Speaker 1: I just love that season. That's the first one that
- 50:40Speaker 1: I really really became like a diehard Cowboy fan. But
- 50:43Speaker 1: I know that they were down in almost every game,
- 50:46Speaker 1: uh that year.
- 50:47Speaker 7: So yeah, they fought hard that year.
- 50:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 50:50Speaker 7: So I got curious about just how much how much
- 50:53Speaker 7: does a good start matter? So I went and looked.
- 50:56Speaker 7: Tell me times the Cowboys were three and oh they
- 50:58Speaker 7: started three and oh fifty time since nineteen sixty six,
- 51:02Speaker 7: And those fifteen times they started three and oh they
- 51:05Speaker 7: made the playoffs fourteen times. Only time they didn't was
- 51:09Speaker 7: in twenty nineteen. I think it was started good and
- 51:14Speaker 7: then they ended up eight eight and eight a year
- 51:17Speaker 7: stuff like that. But anyway, so they can't they got
- 51:20Speaker 7: to find a way to start early. Get these guys
- 51:23Speaker 7: in the okas in the camp and they got a jo.
- 51:26Speaker 7: You got to have a good, strong start. The last
- 51:29Speaker 7: thing about the Europe thing I was looking at. I
- 51:32Speaker 7: found out that you know, seventeen or thirty two teams
- 51:35Speaker 7: play international games this year, and those seventeen twelve have
- 51:41Speaker 7: home games after they come back, and three have buy
- 51:45Speaker 7: and only the Cowboys and Colts have to go play
- 51:47Speaker 7: on their road. So anyway, a good a good start
- 51:51Speaker 7: is I think imperative. I hope they can be five
- 51:54Speaker 7: and oh and if they are, they'll be on their
- 51:56Speaker 7: way to hopefully the super Bowl. Anyway, that's all I got.
- 52:00Speaker 7: Let's go and have a great day and go Cowboy.
- 52:03Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the for the call and doing
- 52:06Speaker 1: some research today. I appreciate that. Always good to kind
- 52:09Speaker 1: of throw some stats out there. Yeah, I think I
- 52:14Speaker 1: think a good start matters. I mean, that's why I
- 52:16Speaker 1: always say. I said it on Talking Cowboys the other day.
- 52:19Speaker 1: You'd always put you know, week week two as as
- 52:22Speaker 1: a very important game for the Cowboys kind of figure
- 52:25Speaker 1: out what where what are you going to be? You know,
- 52:27Speaker 1: week one there's a lot of emotion involved that does
- 52:30Speaker 1: not always a great representation of what your team is
- 52:34Speaker 1: going to be. But I think you know, week two,
- 52:36Speaker 1: you get the second week, you know, do you bounce
- 52:39Speaker 1: back after a loss? Do do you know, maybe maybe
- 52:42Speaker 1: stack a win together, you know, if you get a
- 52:43Speaker 1: win and you see if you can get another one,
- 52:45Speaker 1: especially in this case with two two games in a row.
- 52:49Speaker 1: You know that in the division, I think it would
- 52:51Speaker 1: be very important because you can't go in two for sure,
- 52:53Speaker 1: and you love to go to and oh if you can,
- 52:56Speaker 1: and especially going into that trip with Rio. But yeah,
- 53:00Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think good starts matter, and history,
- 53:03Speaker 1: like you said, history shows that you that you do
- 53:06Speaker 1: all right, Davion and Illinois's next, Davion? What's up?
- 53:12Speaker 11: What to do?
- 53:13Speaker 7: My boy? What a do?
- 53:14Speaker 1: How you doing? Man?
- 53:16Speaker 7: Man?
- 53:16Speaker 11: Doing good? Graduations? Under a graduate?
- 53:19Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, that's all we got.
- 53:23Speaker 1: We got graduations all over the play. They got a
- 53:25Speaker 1: niece nephew tonight. Of course I do kindergarten graduation and
- 53:28Speaker 1: for some reason, but but they have that, and so
- 53:31Speaker 1: we got that tomorrow too. So I mean, I'm going
- 53:34Speaker 1: to a college graduation and the kid kindergarten graduation and
- 53:38Speaker 1: in the same week. So Hey, I'm all over the map.
- 53:41Speaker 11: Too, Like, yeah, I feel you on that. But yeah,
- 53:46Speaker 11: just calling in, man, I was hanging out in the
- 53:48Speaker 11: chat while trying to get in and it's a fun
- 53:52Speaker 11: place to hang out if you want to do some
- 53:55Speaker 11: some lively debate. But yeah, man, looking forward to our schedule,
- 54:00Speaker 11: I think our scheduled looks pretty good. Then we got
- 54:03Speaker 11: a couple of hiccups, but I think for the most
- 54:04Speaker 11: part we'll be all right. I mean, if I think
- 54:07Speaker 11: Shotty are a good plan, and I think we'll we'll
- 54:10Speaker 11: be cool. I think, uh, getting the Eagles on Thanksgiving,
- 54:16Speaker 11: it's just gonna be uh, just lovely because if we
- 54:19Speaker 11: can beat them on Thanksgiving national solo game, that'd be
- 54:24Speaker 11: so cool, so cool. And then's starting out with a
- 54:26Speaker 11: division back to back. We should I mean, my opinion
- 54:29Speaker 11: should be two and us starting out with them two guys.
- 54:34Speaker 11: I heard Dilings call and I was I was gonna,
- 54:36Speaker 11: I was gonna stay. Basically, I kind of lean towards
- 54:39Speaker 11: the current group of our receivers. I really see that
- 54:45Speaker 11: if we have a potential of really being doing some
- 54:47Speaker 11: real nice things throughout. But I'm I'm I'm on the
- 54:51Speaker 11: same page when I'm about to turf two. I just
- 54:53Speaker 11: think needs more be more of a like surprise kind
- 54:56Speaker 11: of gadget type of stuff. I don't him just being
- 54:59Speaker 11: the actually like run with the wide receivers. I just
- 55:02Speaker 11: I ain't really liking that. I'd rather see more floor
- 55:05Speaker 11: in order whoever else comes from the other bunch of
- 55:08Speaker 11: guys we're trying to try out, right.
- 55:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't have him in the top
- 55:15Speaker 1: three either. I just think as a fourth receiver, he's
- 55:18Speaker 1: he's dangerous because he's probably the fastest player on the field.
- 55:21Speaker 11: So I mean, yeah, I can see that, and I
- 55:25Speaker 11: really would like to see him kind of honestly would
- 55:28Speaker 11: like to see him more of like the tunnel screams,
- 55:31Speaker 11: more of the more the stuff that you can kind
- 55:34Speaker 11: of get the battles hands real quick and then get
- 55:36Speaker 11: them to go and then kind of pop the nine
- 55:39Speaker 11: routes on him when you just probably suspected because I
- 55:42Speaker 11: mean him had to be just actually like running like
- 55:47Speaker 11: Rod Tree. I mean, we know he'll run a route Tree,
- 55:50Speaker 11: but just kind of being more of a focal point.
- 55:52Speaker 11: I don't think. I think it's more need to be
- 55:53Speaker 11: more of like a you know, kind of here and there,
- 55:57Speaker 11: not more just kind of getting do all that kind
- 55:59Speaker 11: of stuff. Yeah, but you know, other than that, I mean,
- 56:03Speaker 11: I'm really happy that we I like the shirt. T
- 56:07Speaker 11: shirt looked good. I can't wait to get mine. And man,
- 56:11Speaker 11: we're just trying to get to Minnicau for June and
- 56:14Speaker 11: see where we got.
- 56:15Speaker 1: All right, all right, that's all we can do at
- 56:18Speaker 1: this point. So all right, Dave, we appreciate the call. Well,
