  Speaker 3: Cowboys.

  Speaker 4: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Wednesday, June eleventh.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I'm Nick Eatman. Final show of the off season. Always
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: seems to happen a little bit early, but in this case,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: going to training camp pretty early. Looks like we're going
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: right July twenty ish something like that. It's changed a
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: couple of times. I think that is the time. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: don't know if it's been officially announced, but it's mid
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: to late July, and so this will be the last
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: day of this shows because after this week's mini camps,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the players and coaches are pretty much off until they
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: report to training camp. So this will be our last show,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: so last week of podcasts all together. I think everyone
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: not everyone's excited about it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Chris Bean might be.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: He's been doing the shows, not every show every day,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: but still this is the time we can kind of
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: get a little bit of a break, and so no
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: one needs it more than Chris. But let's see if
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: we can get as many calls as we can in
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: this show to kind of wrap up this offseason, so
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: let's just get right to it. Michael and Colton, California.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Like he's always been when he calls, he's first, Michael,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: what's up, man, Yes.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Sir, Good morning everybody. And how about them Cowboys? Nick Man,
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: I'm just getting really excited because I just feel like
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: the season is man right around the corner. And I
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: just want to say, Man, I think you guys over
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: there at the media team, not only are you the
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: best in the business, but I think you guys have
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: the best job in the whole world. You guys get
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: to like, you know, you guys have a whole insight
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: what's going on over there. But anyways, to get to
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: my question, what rookies, and I say rookie more than one,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: do you think we'll have the biggest impact, will be
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: the biggest storylines of training camp and and and That's
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: what I'm excited to see. So yeah, once again, how
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: about them Cowboys and shout out to the whole Cowboys nation.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: And I'll go ahead and hang up and listen to
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: you offline. But God, lets you all have a great day,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: all right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Michael appreciated, great call, A lot of energy in and out,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: quickly with a good question too, So great call to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: start off the show for us. As far as the rookie,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you know, having the biggest impact, I mean, you hope
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: it's your first round pick.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You hope it's Tyler Booker.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: You hope you know they're right guard, he steps right
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: in and they can run the football well. And I
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: mean it's hard to fathom, Oh just replace Zach Martin,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: but at least be you know, I don't know if
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: he can do that right away, but that's the plan.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: That's why you drafted him there. So that's that's the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: easy answer. But well we'll talk about a couple more.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, guys that could certainly make a difference here,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: second and third round picks.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, how.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Donovan as Iraku, How he he makes a jump here
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: as his rookie year. What what kind of contribution does
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: he bring? Is he a pass rusher off the edge
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: right off the bat? See a guy that has to
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: be on there and third down? You hope, So you
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: hope he's that good of a pass rusher. I remember,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you know, just hearing about eber Flus, like really wanting
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that pick. There was some talk about another cornerback in
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: that second round, but he was like the best guy
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: on the board for me is at Boston College pass
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Rusher as Iraku and and you know, he was able
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to get the room to kind of think that way too,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: not that they weren't already on board, but that was
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: just kind of his his doing there, I think, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: let's see what he does. And then also, you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: you know Savone Revel, what what can he do? I
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: see him right now rehabbing the ACL injury from last year.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: He should be getting close to training camp being ready
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to go. He looks he looks pretty good. What kind
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: of contribution can he can he provide? Because we're talking
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: about a guy that a lot of people thought was
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: a first round pick. And what's what's funny is I
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: was watching something on NFL Network that had been recorded.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: It might have been a Cowboy game or something that
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I just recorded, and I was watching it. This is
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: like a week after the draft. But this was this
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: this thing. It was a football life, that's what it was.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: It was one of those football lives. Lawrence Taylor, That's
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: what it was. It was a Lawrence Taylor football life.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I was watching that and it was like a week
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: before the draft, and somebody was throwing out there mock draft,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you know, and this is after the Cowboys had picked.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: But I looked at it and I was like, wow,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: they had three. They had like Tyler book picked like
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: fifteen or so, and then they had Azaraku at like
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: twenty eight and then Revel at like thirty. This is
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: just I forgot who it was, Lance zer Line or something.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Maybe Bucky Brooks thought that was interesting after the draft that,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: you know, at some point somebody thought they got you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: they would have three of these guys go in the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: first round. So those got That's my answer. Those guys
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: right there, those other two other than Booker, what kind
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: of contributions do they bring? And then quiet it's kept.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jayden Blue, the fifth round pick, might just
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: be starting running back. SOT A lot of good story
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: lines there for the rookies. Let's go to Zach and Germany. Zach,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: what's up, man Lick? What's how you doing good? How
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: are you?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you for our gift.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: You sent a lot of stuff to a lot of
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: their team members, shirts and patches and things like that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no problem, no problem.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Those shirts are they're very comfortable and I feel like,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I mean it says like customs on the back or something.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna go around there like.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: A like a security guard and start telling people what
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I might do that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Now might not be the day to wear it if.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: You haven't watched the news, maybe not, maybe not today,
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: maybe not.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: But I appreciate that. As far as cowboy stuff, got
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: a couple of short things for you today, first one
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: stole them and Thomas, that guy is looking big. Do
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: you see him playing inside outside, just wanting to get your.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Opinion wherever want wherever he wants to play.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: No, he's looking huge.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: A three technique inside guy that that may be on
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: some some certain situations they can play him there with OSA,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: but I think for the most part he's the guy
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: that that will that will spell OSA and play you
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: know in three technique but there you know, EVENU we'll
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: do some different things in there, but I think he
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: could play a one occasionally depending on the down in distance.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: But I think for the most part he's a three
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: technique defensive tackle.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Okay, good good to here. I hope he revives his
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: career here. A decent stint with the Jets, but for
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: the first round or so. Moving on now with the
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: you know, the cards are settled a little bit. Looking
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: at our running back situation with the Javante or Miles,
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: because those are the two guys, would you have rather
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: have kept Dawdle now looking at the contracts are almost
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: the same, or would you you feel it was time
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: to move on? I just want to get your thoughts
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: on that. And then the last thing is, I'm not
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: sure if you already mentioned it on here, Alexander being released.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: Just want to get your thoughts.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: All right. I appreciate it, you know, I don't really
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: have any any any thoughts about Rico Daddle and all that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, just you know, looking at at what you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: he he got there and what the Cowboys ended up
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: doing a little bit cheaper there. I I kind of
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: think that those guys are about the same to me,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the and and they're not getting paid the same.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So I think Daddell was good.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: He's a good, solid player, But I you know, I
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: don't think it necessarily had to have him. He's good.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: They can get this out of Javante Williams, and I
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: think when Rico Daddle did that. I don't think it
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: changed inside the building. This is my opinion. I don't
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: think it changed the thoughts on Rico Daddle like, oh,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: he's better than we thought. I think it changed the
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: thought on, Okay, this is what we can do with
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: a player like that. So if Rico can do this,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: we can do this with others. And that's why you
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: didn't see them draft a running back that high. They
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: didn't put a lot of stock in the free agency.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: They got a couple of guys probably on that same level.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So that's what I think happened is I don't think
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: it changed anyone's thoughts about about what Rico is as
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: a running back. I think it changed thoughts on or
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: maybe it even solidified thoughts about we can do okay
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: with a back that's not in the top tier and
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you know he can be very productive, which Rico was.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: So that's what I think happened there. And then answering
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: your question on jay R Alexander, Uh, you know, it's
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: what you have right now with guys that are hurt
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: a lot at corner. I'm not saying Doron blance hurt
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: a lot. He got hurt once, but Diggs has been
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: hurt a little bit. I mean, so you have some
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: uncertainty there at corner. This would just be another guy
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: you throw in there. I I'm I'm usually for that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: kind of move. In this case, I would go against it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's that's your answer there. I'd rather
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: see uh, you know them develop revel and uh and see,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: you know, see what happens when when Diggs can come back.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: But you're adding another another I want to say problem
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: because I don't know much about him. I just maybe
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: some headaches and good player wouldn't healthy. But you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the Packers obviously decided to let him go. He needs
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: a new start. But I you've done that little it
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: with elm already. That's probably not the route that I
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: go Jaire Alexander. That's just my first gut instinct. Don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: know much about the player and how much they've they've
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: studied him. Maybe that is something that they'll do. All right,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: let's go to champ in Nebraska.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning morning.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: I'm good? Hey, I hadn't called for a while. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: was gonna try to call in a couple of weeks
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: ago on my birthday on a Wednesday, and that was
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: a Wednesday, you guys changed to Thursday, and I was
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: off that day. I was like, dang it, I missed it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: So it's all good, all right, Well, happy birthday to you.
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: I appreciate that. Hey, a couple questions. I know, a
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: mini camp out, there is no contact and all that,
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: but can you tell us what you've seen from Booker
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: and guiding like his booker? Does he look like he's
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: a real deal guiding? Has he improved any from last
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: year that you can tell just in these non contact
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: drills and stuff. And also over the off season, we've
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: heard a lot about Diggs and potentially releasing, trading moving
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: on from him with his contract and all that. But
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: listening to Micah and the way he talks about Digs
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: and the friendship they have, do you think that would
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: be a problem if we got to the point where
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: we released Diggs because of that contract or trading him
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: whatever we did with Tim, that it would cause some issues.
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: I mean, I know it's some business. Yeah, you make friends,
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: and people come and go and all that, but it
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: seems like Kim Micah have a really really strong friendship.
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: I don't know if that would be something that could
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: potentially cause some disruption to him, and what he cares
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: for is for digs having some hard feelings towards organization,
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: and they got rid of him with that. I'll hang up,
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: I'll listen offline. I just wanted to say hello and
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: you guys, enjoy your break. We'll miss you and we'll
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: see you in a few weeks.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Champ, appreciate it a great call. Let me ask
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: we go those the first part about Guidon and.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Booker.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: You know, you said it best when you said, you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: it's hard to tell about those those offensive linemen early
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: on here with with no no contact. But you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: when I talked to Eberflus the other day, he was
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: he was getting a salad or something like that. We
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: chatted for just a second. I asked him this question,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: not so much about the the offensive tackles, but the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: defensive guys. About this time of year, you know, what
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: are the things that y'all are looking for without you
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: because it's they play physical positions. The guys that play
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: physical positions, What can you see?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: He said?
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: The biggest thing, the number one thing, of course, is awareness.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: You know, we know what the play is called, we
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: know what they're supposed to do, and we know, you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: did they get there or not? Did did they you
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: know the pop with their hands. You know, you can
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: tell a lot of things without it actually taking people
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: to the ground. So that was from defensive side of
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the ball, offensive side the ball kind of the same
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: type of thing. You know, are they are they getting
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: out of the stance quick?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Are they?
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Where are they picking up things where the maybe potential
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: blitz is coming from. Those are things that are tough
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to tell. Body wise, I think Guyton does look better looks.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: You know, he's super tall and so he looks a
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: lot like a left tackle now and he will certainly
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: with those pads on. So it's it's really hard to
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: tell at this time of year. So you you knew
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: it was when you ask the question. But the guys
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: that do know, the coaches, they're saying the right things
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: at least, and I don't know if they would say differently,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: but from what I'm hearing, they're doing well. But then again,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: just like with anything, just like with the culture, just
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: like with everything that sounds good here, they're all changes
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: into you know, when when when the bullets start flying.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: So it looks good for Tyler, Guyton but when Micah
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Parsons signs a contract, if that happens, gets the training
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: camp and rushes off the edge on him, and you know,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: in a one on one drill, or the Rams come
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: to come to Aux Snard for a practice and you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: yet Verse over there or whatever and they're going out
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: at one on one, Let's see what happens, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and that that's that's one when we'll really find out
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: a lot of that good stuff. And then as for
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the Digs part with Micah, you know, I think players
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: understand everybody's situation. You know, Micah is in a different
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: boat than than you know, Digs or a lot of players.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And you know, micas he knows one of the big
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: things things for him is to be a leader, and
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: so part of being a leader is understanding other things
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: that happened. And then in the organization. So if that
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: were to happen, if the Cowboys were to make a
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: move there, and I don't know if that will, but
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: if they did, you know, he could be upset about it,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: or he could be you know, disappointed, sad, whatever it is.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But also from a business standpoint, you know, step it
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: up and move on. I mean, and and here's an
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: example of that, what Diggs is doing in the off
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: season and what his decision to be here, not be
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: here on certain times, give up some money to do
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: some of the things and rehab at other places. I mean,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: that's not exactly what Mike is doing. Mike's in a
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: different boat too, So yeah, they might have a great friendship,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: but they're still doing things differently and acting different with
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: where they are and when they're there and all that
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So I don't think it would be
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: a huge problem at all. I mean, it shouldn't be.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Like you said, it's a business and handle your own
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: business is a big.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Part of it there.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to a daveon in Illinois.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: What's going on, big?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: Going on?
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: Happy to get on? All right, it's always tough. Actually,
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: I just celebrated my birthday a couple of days ago.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Happy birthday.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, man, four to six years is a big time,
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: big time. I'm enjoying, enjoyed my weekend out golfing.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Should but.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: A couple of things, Mini Caamp, What are the things
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: that you've you've noticed with the offense? Are you seeing
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: like a lot of new stuff new new wrinkles that
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: we got coming this year.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Seeing a little bit more motion, you know, and which
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: which is what we've you know, we were talked about
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: a lot last year. Why is that there not more motion?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: But I do think there's a there's a ton of misdirection.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's one thing. Everybody going this way,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: tight end, going that way, running back, going that way.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: It's like, and I've said this before, but this offense
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: feels like it's going to use every blade of grass
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: of that fifty three yards wide.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: They really are.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I don't see a lot of bunch up things. I
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: see more spread out things, which I like.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I've never really understood the whole bunched up when when
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: you have tight ends and receivers in here trying to
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: block and all that, I just feel like it's better
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: to just use it, use it all. And that's one
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: thing I've seen a lot of rollouts, a lot of
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: you know, a lot of the CD going this way,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: turpin coming across the field this way, wide open tight ends.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: You know that maybe that's not great for the defense
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: you know of right now, But that's one thing I
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: have seen is just just a lot of misdirection as
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: far as routes go, and and and you know, just
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: being deceptive here and sneaking a guy out to being
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: wide open.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's pretty cool. And I've been hearing that the
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: chambers between Dag Pickens and CD is starting to really
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: block us. It really feels like I think I was
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: talking to a little click about basically he could be
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: like Alva Harper, Mike irv In to of course Troy. Yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: and we can have hopefully one of the running backs
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: sprout up and be something. Uh. I guess when we
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: figure out who's gonna be the number one. But man,
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: definitely just truly truly excited. We got we pretty much
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: got solidified of what we're gonna do for us coming
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: to oxen Ord. I think it's about six or seven
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: of us, Oh wow country to come down and basically
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: be there the first part of week two, week two
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: or week three. I think we're all out there, uh
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: and look forward to try to beat you in person
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: and stuff like that. And we're so excited to come
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: up to hang out.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: So yeah, man, that's that's awesome. That that is going
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: to be that's going to be very interesting. It's gonna
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: be that. That's a cool h cool concept. I'm glad
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: you guys are doing that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Man. I can't imagine y'all staying in one house.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a plan we're looking at, trying to be
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: and be somewhere near, like a couple of miles away
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: from the training facility or whatever. Yeah, we're coming from
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: coach you know, Illinos. We got Dallas, Arizona, East Coast
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: with Ireen, with South Florida with Dylan, so we come
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: all over. We're gonna be It's gonna be pretty cool, man.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: I'm excited. I can't wait to, like, say, can to
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: see you in Christ in person and try to meet
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: up everybody else.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll make senthing happen. We'll figure out how
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: we do a show when it's my day. I don't
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: do a show every day, but when it is my day,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: do a show when y'all are out there.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It'll be early in the morning.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: We do a show at eight, so you know, we'll
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: see what kind of late nights y'all have in that airbnb.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: But we'll see if y'all get up for the eight
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: o'clock show, maybe we can figure something out to put
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: y'all on there one way or another. We'll we'll figure
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: out a way to do that. Well, that's will.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: We'll be ready for that because I say, we're excited
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: just to get out there, and let's be a lifelong
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: dream for me because I always wanted to go to
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: be out there training council. I'm looking forward to it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna keep.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: All right, well, we're I'm excited for you guys as
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: well that it should be a lot of fun.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Davi, and thanks again for the call. Appreciate that. Wow.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Man, who whole crew coming, not the whole crew, but
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I mean a big crew coming out there for a
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: training camp and storyliners. We'll we'll have to put something up.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: We're gonna get creative with that. One of the things
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: you've said about Pickens and being the Alvin Harper, I
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: mean I get the concept. I mean, you have a
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: number one, then you have a number two that can
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: play off of that. But Pickens is say this the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: right way. Pickens is closer, in my opinion, closer to
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: CD skill wise than Harper was to Michael Irvin. I
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: think it was a one and a two. This is
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: this is.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: A one a.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: And and I don't I'm gonna say one B, but
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I mean that's probably what it is. I guess that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying because because Pickens is dynamic, like more
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: than Alvin Harper. Alvin Harper, you know, down the field,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: big deep threat and all that. He could also take
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: a slant and eat long strider And that's one thing
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: they do have in common, because man, Pickens can get
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: fifteen yards in like two seconds, and just the way
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: he's got long legs. He's just a long strider. But
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: the he's he's he's very quick, he's twitchy, and he
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: made some plays yesterday, had a couple where he was
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: leaving cornerbacks just in the dust. He he is a
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: dynamic player and that and it can get down the
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: field as well. So that's that's one where I think
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys have two really really good playmaking wide receivers.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I can't remember a time where they had had it
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: like that. Even when it was Cooper and CD as
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: a rookie, they you know, they weren't at that level
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: as far as being dynamic.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Yit. So all right, let's go to Brian in Kansas City.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: Good morning, mister Eatman.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: I'm doing good?
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: Sir, I had. I had a weird thing happened to me.
• 22:32
  Speaker 11: It was two days ago, and it made me think
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: of a Cowboy thing, but I.
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: Can't remember who the player was. So I was doing
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: a current rewards. I was doing a freaking warm up
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: exercise and pulled a muscle in my back and I
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: was trying to remember there was a Cowboys offensive lineman
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: who hurt himself, like in the tunnel, jumping up and
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: down warming up for the game. Do you remember who
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: that was?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: How long are you going?
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: It's during your tenure. It's not deep history, it's during
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: your tenure. I don't know.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: I would say in the last decade.
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: But it was one of those freak things where they
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: were like, hey the person was, you know, coming onto
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: the field.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I think, and you go ahead, I think.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Beish if I mean, I think that happened to be oddish.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: I know he got hurt in pregame one time, so
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: that was an offensive line that I can remember. And
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: then there was another one way back like Parcels time,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: named Kurt Vohlers, who also got hurt in a pregame
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: or something and was out out for the game, and
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Parcels was not happy. About that, you know, because he
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: had made a decision to put him, get him ready
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: to go, and say all right, you're active, and I'm
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: this guy's gonna be inactive. And then the pregame guy
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: gets hurt. So imagine the frustration there. But those are
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: the two that come to mind. I don't know, maybe
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: somebody different.
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: I don't think it was bowlers, but it probably I'm
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: probably thinking of the Otish. I just remember thinking, holy cow,
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: what are the chances of an elite athlete getting hurt
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: in a pregame warm up? But you know, I was
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: just one of those things.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Amstring injury for your offensive lineman? Like what are we
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: doing here?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: We'll kind of kind oh.
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: Man, all right, So for my question this week, man,
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: I was wondering, so just to this time last year,
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: just want to compare from the snapshot of right now
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: to this time of last year, what unit on the
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: team do you think is the most improved for whatever reason,
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: because of coaching, because of acquisition, whatever. And then which
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: one do you think is maybe you know, if you
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: think there's one that maybe isn't quite the same. And
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: I'll take the two low hanging fruits I'll say wide
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: receiver because of the obvious. Yeah, and for me right now,
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: just right now, because of injury, it's defensive back. Because
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: at this point last year, we had two of the
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: three positions nailed down, right, we had Jay Leu and
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: Bland waiting for Diggs to come back, we only had
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: one position to figure out. Right now, I feel like
• 25:24
  Speaker 10: we have two positions to figure out, and that's just
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: temporary because of the injuries. But you know, I don't
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: think we have the same thing. And I'll hang up
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: and listen, man, enjoy your vacation, sir.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you appreciate that.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: You know, I think those are the answers, honestly, wide receiver.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: And you said because of the obvious, I think you're
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: talking about pickings. But there's more to it than that,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: because when you think about a year ago, there wasn't
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: a doubt that that CD would be signed. It was
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: just when. And he wasn't here for training camp. You know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: he did not participate in training camp and definitely not
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: in the OTAs and so or Man, he might have
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: done some OTAs in mini camps and all that, but
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I mean it wasn't the same. I mean, he wasn't
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: here like like he's been and and so to have,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: like I just said, those two dynamic players and they're here,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: and your quarterbacks out there are throwing them the ball.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: And so there's no question marks there with contracts and
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: things like that. The chemistry that's being built there and
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: with this offense and figuring out, you know how where
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: everyone's going, and and just all the motions and the
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: and the shifting and things like that. To have everybody
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: here doing that is huge. So yes, the answer is
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: wide receiver. And and for not just the addition of Pickens,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: but having CD here this offseason. And and also I
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: think you've got a better player in Turpin. I think
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Turpin is is a is a more of a of
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: a well rounded offensive player. I mean, he's a weapon
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: for you. And I think I think Shot he knows this.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I mean I know he knows this because he was
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: a big part in getting him involved more at the
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: end of the season last year. In any capacity, running
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: the football right up the middle. You would not think
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: that guy could run the ball right up the middle,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: but he did, and he'd get nine, ten eleven yards
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: when he when he did. He's you can't just do
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: it every play. He's not going to hold up if you,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: if you, if you, if you get too greedy with him.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: But he's got more that he can use on his plate.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys know that, and that's why they
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: signed him. And some of the contract incentives for him
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: to make even more money is all offensive related, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: so what he can do on offense there. But and
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: then the answer to your question on the other side,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: what other position there? I think you were right about Corner.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I think that's the one because you you had. You
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: just felt better about it because Diggs was hurt early
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: on and he's coming back and he should be fine,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: and Bland, you know, had a great year, and you
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: know Jordan Lewis resigned, and you know, everything was looking
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: better there at Corner than now. There's just a lot
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: more question marks. So you kind of answered your own question.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I thought you did a great job of doing that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: You guys know, you guys know what's going on. You
• 28:21

  Speaker 3: than the once a week that we're doing right now.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Of course we'll take a break and it'll it'll even
• 30:41

  Speaker 3: of fun. I know Chris is working on getting that
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: making sure that phone line is good it out there.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Did we have two lines last year, Chris? I think
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: we did or is it was just the one? I
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: don't remember too. Yeah, so it was. It was good
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: looking forward to uh, just hanging out with my with
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: my friend Moe Claiborne. And I'm sure because the eight
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: o'clock time slot, it works because it's the ten it's
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: ten o'clock here Central time, so it's the same time
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: slot all year long, so it works. But it also
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: is in the same time slot. As as mowing the
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: grass every day and making sure and doing it right
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: behind us as much as possible. But hey, that's part
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: of it. We gotta we gotta fight through it. As
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: as as our old friend Jason Garrett used to say,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: be your best regardless of circumstance. So we're going to
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: have to be our best there. Dylan Northport, Florida, he's
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: one of the best.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: What's up man?
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: Hey? Thanks?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Did I was confused you talk about more Claiborne. I
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: was like, wait, is he going to be like a
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: co host on the show.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: But that's my nickname for the guy. It might be
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: different guys, but it's the people.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: It was so good and needed his own drop.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: I mean that actually sounds kind of soothing. I mean,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: like you know that, that's that's kind of like when
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I have you know, if I can't sleep, turn on
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: like this little sleep fan or something. That's what that
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: sounds like. But it doesn't sound I'm telling you this,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: it doesn't sound like that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: In my ear.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: It's completely different. In my ears, it sounds different than that.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: But whatever, I'm not gonna worry about it. I'm not.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I promise myself, I'm not gonna talk about it more
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: than once a segment. Uh next year, So I'm gonna
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna stop with that just once a segment.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, maybe he'll partner up with leaf Blurillarry
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: and you get a whole brigade out there.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's there's more than just the mowing going on.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: We have a lot happening because it's practice, it's gonna
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: happen that morning, so there's a lot of cleaning up.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: There is a lot of the leaf blower stuff. So yeah,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: eights and eights and nine is a lot of prepping
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: for the field and stuff like that. But hey, it's okay,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: it'll be fine. What's up doing?
• 33:07
  Speaker 15: You know?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Rob called in last week and we had a whole
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Twitter conversation, him and me and a whole bunch of
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: other people. It's good conversations about Dak. Prescott and I
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: just I disagree with a lot of his takes about Dak.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: But one thing that he said in particular that I
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: just strongly disagree with and hopefully he can call in
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: and challenge me on it, was that he doesn't think
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Dak he's concerned about Dak. Dak is his biggest concern
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: on the team, but he still thinks he's a top
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: ten quarterback, which kind of is conflicting to me. And
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: then he said that he doesn't want us to lean
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: into the run. He says, with all the weapons we
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: have on offense and the offensive line. He says he
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: wants he wants us to be a pass heavy team.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, if, well, if that's you know, an
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: issue or a concern, you know, I don't want to
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: go that route. You know, I want to run the ball.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I'll run the ball ten times in a row if
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: it's working. I'm the kind of guy that I'll do
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: it until it stopped working. You know, there's it's low risk.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: If you're getting five six yards of carry, I'd run
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the ball, ding dang game. And then, you know, I
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: half when you start running the ball, these safeties cheat
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: up and they start playing more eight man boxes, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, now Pickens can go you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: fifty yards for a touchdown deep because he's one on
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: one with no safety help. I mean, run the ball,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: establish a run, run till they make you stop running
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the ball, and then run it some more and then
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: count in the passion. If DA can throw the ball
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: twenty five or thirty times a game, imagine imagine twenty
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: twenty five Dak Prescott with the skill set that he
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: has the understanding of the game, having such a dominant
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: run game. I don't know if we're going to have
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: that just that's kind of a FIPE dream. But I
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: imagine today is dak in twenty sixteen Cowboys offense. I
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: think that would be a phenomenal a phenomenal team, a
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: phenomenal offense. And that's what I want, And that's why
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I wanted to drest an offensive line, and I'm glad
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: we did.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think both y'all are saying things that
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I can, I can agree with, and that's why in
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: this particular case, I think everybody can.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Be right in this case.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Not not all cases, not all arguments, but in this one,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I think you can. And the reason why I say
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: that is I think back to the past. I think
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: back to what was Tony Romo's best season? Well, I
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: mean twenty fourteen. He was third at MVP. Well what
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: happened to twenty fourteen? Also, Tomarco Murray running back in
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: the league, led the league in rushing and Tony Romo
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: was MVP. I mean not the MVP. I'm sorry, he
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: was third in MVP voting. Uh and he you know,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: he played through a back injury something that that year
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: he did not win MVP.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Sorry to say that, but.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: It was at twenty twenty three MVP caliber season exactly.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Aikman was a Hall of Fame quarterback, had the NFL's
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: all time leading rusher and all that, and had a
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: lot of weapons too, And so I think, and then
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I think what I remember Rob's point is all of
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: these weapons on offense. Don't want them to be a
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: running team, but I want them to be a.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Move the chains team.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: If you move the chains one way or another, it's
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: going to change what the defense does. And then now
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: your tight end is going to make plays. And then
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: now you're running back. Like you just said, I think
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Dak can be a top ten quarterback. I think they
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: can be a running team, and I think all of
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: the weapons can be useful in the way that we
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: want them. That's the way it works, if everything's clicking.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: You know, look at what the Eagles did. I mean,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I think AJ Brown, Davonte Smith were outstanding. I think
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Dallas got it was really good. And then they had
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: a guy that was two thousand yard rusher as well,
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: and a and a quarterback that does his things.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Push and all that kind of stuff.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: You can do all of it if you're good, and
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: if you're and I think I think everyone can be
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: right in this situation.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I really believe that.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't want to see Dak throwing the
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: ball forty times the game because there's diminishing returns and
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: if you're throwing the ball that much, it probably means
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: you're playing from behind, or you can't run the ball
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: or whatever.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: And you and I bet I bet Rob would say
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: he doesn't want that either forty times. But I I
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: get what you're saying, and I really think I'm not
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: trying to just be you know, neutral here. I think
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: everybody in this case can be right. I think they
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: can be a running football team, and I think Dak
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: in the offense can throw the ball all over the yard.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: I think it all can happen.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, I'm just you know, we've seen Dak's best seasons,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: just like twenty fourteen, round with Dak's best seasons. He's
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: had really good running game. You know, why was he
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: so good as a rookie. Why was he able to
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: pass the ball still well and play so well as
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: a rookie was because he had a dominant run game,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: dominate offensive line. So I actually that's where it starts,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: and that's that's just what I want to see.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I appreciate it. Thanks, thank you for the call, Dylan.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: And it sounds like you're going to be one of
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: those that's going to be up there training camp, so
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I look forward to seeing you there. But you know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of times when you look at the running game,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, they only ran the ball. Let's just say,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: like we're here on a Monday talking and say they
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: only ran the ball seventeen times. Well, that's not a
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: whole lot, and that's why they lost or whatever. But
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: that's because in the third quarter they were down and
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: they lost the game, and they had seventeen rushing attempts
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: or whatever. But let's say in the third quarter they
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: actually drove down and took the lead and then maybe
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: got a turnover, and then they played some of the
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter with the lead.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Same game.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: But yet in the fourth quarter with the lead, they
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: had two or three drives in a row where they
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: were predominantly running the ball, and next thing you know,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: they had twenty eight rushing attempts.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Same game.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Just a couple of little plays here and there in
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: the third quarter changed the mindset, and now they had
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: twenty eight rushing attempts, which is a lot of rushing
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: attempts in a game, so it could that's my point.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: It's the same game that they were just playing with
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: a little tweak here and there. But on Monday we're
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: talking about them being a running team as opposed to
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: being a team that didn't run the ball that much.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: That's my point about everything is right, everything can be
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: the same. And I think because Imt did his thing,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Noviachek made plays, Irvin was, you know, always making plays,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Harper had a big one, you know, catch down the middle.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: And then in the fourth quarter, Immit Emmitt, Emmitt, Moose,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Emmitt slant Irvin Emmit, and and then the game is
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: over and Immitt has twenty nine carries one hundred and
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: forty five yards and looked like they ran the ball
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: that much. But because they were so balanced early on
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: that it leads to that. That's kind of what my point.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: You do your things in the first three and a half,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: three quarters or so, fourth quarter, you can go run
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: the football and everybody can win. That's kind of what
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to say. Christ and Saratoga Springs is next, Chris,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 39:31
  Speaker 9: How was that birthday?
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: Party this weekend.
• 39:34

• 39:36
  Speaker 3: at that. It was im I'm tired of birthdays. I'll
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: say that right now. My son's birthdays coming up in
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: about a week and a half. But uh, yeah, it's
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: it's been, it's been. Uh, it's been an interesting couple
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: of weeks.
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: Anyways, Chris, you have three birthdays and like, you have
• 39:51
  Speaker 9: three birthdays and like a month.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: It's it's crazy.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Chris's daughter's got a birthday too coming up there, so
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: hopefully his experience is better than mine. Anyways, Chris Saratory Springs.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: The Great?
• 40:08
  Speaker 9: The Belmont? The Belmont was fantastic sovereignty?
• 40:11
  Speaker 11: Wont it?
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: Bill Mott?
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: It was?
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: It was unbelieve It was unbelievable day.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Do you see ever?
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Do you ever?
• 40:18
  Speaker 16: I do?
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: I used to, Well, my dad does more than me.
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: But we used to see him a lot because he
• 40:25
  Speaker 9: lived right next to the golf course and we live
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: like really close to He used to walk his dog.
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: And now he moved a little bit so he doesn't
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: live in the same area, so I haven't seen him
• 40:34
  Speaker 9: as much. But my dad says he does see him
• 40:36
  Speaker 9: every once in a while sports.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's where he is up there with
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: those with those horses.
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: Well, for sure, he says it's the happiest place on there.
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: That's what he has said.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I bet, I bet. So what do you got I do?
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: I've been I've been listening to you guys, and I
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: agree with you one thousand percent. We just got to
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: move the chain. Doesn't matter how we do it, run, pass,
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: we just got to move the chain. Get in that
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: fourth quarter. And I agree with you guard one thousand
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: percent on that. I do believe that Dak's a better
• 41:06
  Speaker 9: quarterback when we have a decent running game. It's been
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: proven most quarter There's not many quarterbacks in the NFL
• 41:11
  Speaker 9: that can carry themselves without a running game. I can
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: count probably on my hand, my one hand that can
• 41:17
  Speaker 9: do that. Dak needs a decent running game in order
• 41:20
  Speaker 9: for him to be super successful and the Cowboys to
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: be successful. So that part of it. I think as
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: long as we can run ball successfully and move the
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: chains and stay healthy, obviously we're going to be fine offensively.
• 41:31
  Speaker 9: I don't I really don't have any concerns with that. Yeah,
• 41:35
  Speaker 9: I do have a question on two players. Don't want
• 41:37
  Speaker 9: your thoughts on him. Third years are normally big years
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: for players in the NFL. He got Deuce Vaughn and
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: you got Ryan Florine. What do you think for those
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: two guys? Do you even think they're gonna be Do
• 41:48
  Speaker 9: you think they're going to be a possible rap the cut?
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: With all the depth we have right now at those
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: two positions.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm not saying yes to that question.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that's a very good question. And those two
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: players are two that you we were and I'm looking
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: at Flinoy. Is he already in his third year?
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I guess. I guess so.
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: I think so.
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: First year he was hurt and then he didn't play
• 42:12
  Speaker 9: at all. Last year he played for most of the season,
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: So this would be a third year, all right.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: I haven't He was drafted in twenty twenty four. Are
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: you sure we're talking about the same guy? I think Flinoy?
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: This is second year for Flinoy, is it? Yeah? Either way?
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Either way, it doesn't matter. I mean, like he's not
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: at a point where he's safe. So Flinoy and Deuce
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: good good good questions There anything else?
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Chris? Before I we move on, I'll answer that.
• 42:42
  Speaker 9: No, you can move on to the next guy. And
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: I'm sure there's a ton of people waiting to call.
• 42:45
  Speaker 9: So we're good, Nick. But I think, thank you for
• 42:47
  Speaker 9: taking my college Chris.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you have a good day, and I appreciate that,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: all right. You know, Duce for sure, Deuce, I mean
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: they drafted two players at his position out there and
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: doing some things and and uh mini camp yesterday. I
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: mean he's he's not a forgotten player.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, uh, excuse me.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: He he's out there and he's he's doing stuff. It's
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: going to be an uphill battle for him. He's going
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: to have to be way better than Phil Maffa. He's
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: going to have to be better than than Miles Sanders.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: That's that's that's really where what it comes down to.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: He's going to have a different role than a Javonte Williams,
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: but a Miles Sanders is the type of player that
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: you know, that's where if Deuce has to show that
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: he can be better than that. I mean, I think
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: blues on the team, I don't even think that's a question.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: But as far as as who you've got to beat out,
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: and it's not just them, it's every other running back
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: that gets cut or gets available one way or another.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: And that's the way it is with all positions.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: It's not just those four or five guys here in
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: your room that you got to be better than. That's
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: how you get more practice reps is by beating you
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: know this them in the practice before and then maybe
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: you get a little bit more of the next day
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: and all that. But you know, also making the team
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: and playing in the games, there's there's other guys that
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: are gonna get released to You got to be better
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: than all of them too. So that's why it's a
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: tough business. Flinoy, you know, that's that's gonna be that's
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: gonna be a challenging thing. I mean, you look at
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: what they're doing. I mentioned Cavante Turpin getting more reps.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think the biggest competition in in the
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: room right now for Flinoy is probably Jalen Brooks and Mingo.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I mean those those guys right there, Because you look
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: at your first two receivers. Tolbert's the third one. He's
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: not going anywhere. Let the team in touchdowns. Turpens your
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: fourth guy after that, Flinoy, Mingo, Brooks, Paris Campbell. That's
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: those four are going to be, you know, all fighting
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: for for spots and don't look now, but Jay the
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Cropper just makes about four plays every practice, And I
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: mean he's a he's a guy that you could forget
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: about if if you if you're not watching all the time,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: but getting a chance to watch practice, I mean, Jalen
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Cropper has made a lot of plays. Not sure who
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: always going against every time, but you're out there practice,
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: you're talking, talking to the other guys. You look up
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: number sixteen is like running at us like and it's
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: happened multiple times. So can't discount him either. But but
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: with these guys Cropper, Illinois, Campbell, Mingo, Brooks, maybe Mingo
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: is a little higher than that, but for what they
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: gave up, he's going to get more opportunities, obviously. But
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: it comes down to also special teams. I mean these
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: your fifth wide receiver. Now your fourth receiver is turpid,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: and he played special for your fifth receiver. I mean,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: he's he's got to be a part of special teams.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: And that's where FLINOI and Brooks I think probably have
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a of a advantage there.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: But good, good question there.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: It's with with those two guys I mean, it's it's
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: not going to be easy for them for sure. All Right,
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: h Irwin in Colorado is next?
• 46:12
  Speaker 11: Nick's Nick? What's going on?
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 46:15
  Speaker 11: I'm doing good? Doing good? Hey, Nick, I just wanted
• 46:19
  Speaker 11: to touch a little bit on what I believe Gyllen
• 46:21
  Speaker 11: was talking about with the Prescott and the run game
• 46:23
  Speaker 11: and all that. Yeah, I think that I think that
• 46:25
  Speaker 11: all Cowboy fans could agree, in football fans in general,
• 46:28
  Speaker 11: that they kind of rely on each other. Good quarterback
• 46:32
  Speaker 11: needs a run game and vice versa.
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: With that being said, I think we've kind of all
• 46:38
  Speaker 11: watched the last couple of years the way McCarthy was
• 46:40
  Speaker 11: calling plays and how creative they were in the running game.
• 46:43
  Speaker 11: When I understand Shoddy has a background with you know,
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: the run game and misdirections and stuff like that, So
• 46:51
  Speaker 11: I think that's really going to help with you know,
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: a run game. And quickly, just one more thing, Nick,
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: Being from Colorado here, I've gotten chance from time to
• 47:01
  Speaker 11: time to watch Davonte Javonte Williams.
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the running we picked up.
• 47:06
  Speaker 11: He's pretty damn good running back.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why do you think Denver didn't? I mean, I'm
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: just curious why do you why why did it not
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: work out more with him? These didn't fit with what
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Sean Payton was trying to do or what do you think?
• 47:17
  Speaker 11: Well, yeah, no, I think that there's a combination of
• 47:19
  Speaker 11: a couple of things, possibly that, But he does kind
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: of have a history of injury. So from what understand,
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: he's coming into the season pretty healthy. And I think
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: they just kind of soured on, you know, like probably
• 47:32
  Speaker 11: most teams do injury wise, when when players continuously keep
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: getting injured, they kind of you know, kind of like, uh,
• 47:40
  Speaker 11: you know, not too good in their favor. But that's
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: what I think. I think that's really what happened with Williams.
• 47:46
  Speaker 11: But I've watched him play here. This guy is a thumper.
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: I mean, he'll put it on you. And I just
• 47:54
  Speaker 11: wanted to get your thoughts on that. Yeah, I really
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: think he's got a good combination of running backs this year.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I appreciate that. And thanks for calling with
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: a good perspective there with with Javonte Williams and and
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: uh and uh you know we're playing for the Broncos
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: and and kind of what happened there. I I remember him.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: I think it was a game against the Cowboys and
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: and I just remember him just being so physical. And
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: when when they Clayton Adams talks about what kind of
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: running game they want, violent type running style, He's the
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: He's the one that fits that, you know. And now
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: pairing him up with a Jayden Blue, Miles Sanders type runners,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: you know where they can kind of can can do
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: a little bit of both. But I say this all
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: the time. If you're going to be effective in this
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: one two punch you both of those guys have to
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: do the other just a little bit. You know, you
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: do need Javonte to catch the ball out of the
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: backfield some maybe take a sweep on the outside. You're
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: gonna need a Jayden Blue, Miles Sanders Douce Vaughan to
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: take the ball right out the middle of third and two.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: You know, you got to keep everybody on this. But
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: for the most part, if Javonte is the thumper, I
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: think he does it well. But he has to do
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit of everything to stay on the field too.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: So good good Edition excited to see him running the ball.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Wonder what fans are going to think of that number
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: thirty three running the football. It doesn't happen a lot
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: around here, but it'll look good to see that back
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: in the backfield a game. All right, Josh in Chicago's next?
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how you doing good?
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 49:30
  Speaker 17: Not too bad? I got a point really quick to
• 49:32
  Speaker 17: making that a question for you. So my point is
• 49:36
  Speaker 17: I kind of agree with you on the whole weather
• 49:39
  Speaker 17: that the debate between rob and and Dylan, But I
• 49:43
  Speaker 17: kind of agree with you. I think what we really
• 49:44
  Speaker 17: need to be as a team that utilizes our weapons better. Right, Yeah,
• 49:47
  Speaker 17: you look at Kansas City, Philly or even San fran
• 49:49
  Speaker 17: before last year. They have weapons in the run game,
• 49:52
  Speaker 17: the receivers, the tight ends, and they just know how
• 49:55
  Speaker 17: to use them in the games as the games kind
• 49:57
  Speaker 17: of progress, and I think that that's something that if
• 49:59
  Speaker 17: Shaun Heimer.
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: Does well, we'll have success with.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 50:02
  Speaker 17: Whether that's whether we're yeah, whether we're throwing thirty times
• 50:05
  Speaker 17: or running thirty times, it doesn't matter. As long as
• 50:07
  Speaker 17: we're moving the chains, we're utilizing our weapons. The question
• 50:11
  Speaker 17: I have for the offense is I think Booker is
• 50:14
  Speaker 17: probably going to be the starter, but does Hoffman have
• 50:17
  Speaker 17: a role maybe in some jumbo sets or even as
• 50:19
  Speaker 17: as a fullback. Sometimes I think he's quick. I think
• 50:22
  Speaker 17: he's the type of guy who can, you know, get
• 50:24
  Speaker 17: after and be kind of violent and maybe check in
• 50:26
  Speaker 17: sometimes as a as a receiver out there on the line,
• 50:29
  Speaker 17: and you know, kind of what Detroit's done in the
• 50:32
  Speaker 17: past with some of their tackles as well, or Minement
• 50:35
  Speaker 17: as well, so kind of I thought, I just want
• 50:37
  Speaker 17: to get your.
• 50:38
  Speaker 18: Take on it.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love that, Josh.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: I I I don't know why I haven't thought that before,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: but I think Hoffman could do that.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Would be really good at that, like a lead fullback
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: at times. Who did the last guy here that did it?
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Was I want to say, was it McGovern? Connor McGovern?
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of that.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: I think Hoffman's an athlete. I think he would be
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: really good at.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: That that role.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, again, if they do that, that's not anything you'll see,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: you know, they they'll practice it, and then the PR
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: team will come over and tell everyone, you know, don't
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: don't report anything like that. Of course, a lot of
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: you know, if it happens to training camp, people will
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: see some of you guys might see it.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think I think I like that that that.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Role of a maybe a defensive tackle or another offensive tackle.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I do like having some some more beef
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: in there. And I've always thought it was a good
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: idea if you have the versatile players that can do that. So, yes, Hoffman,
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: that could be a good role for sure.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Let's tell the coach that I'm gonna talk to him.
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: I'm kidding, I'm not doing.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: That, please do.
• 51:52
  Speaker 17: And the thing I like about Hoffman in that position,
• 51:54
  Speaker 17: especially if they winne him up that fallback, is it's
• 51:56
  Speaker 17: kind of how quick he can get up to the
• 51:58
  Speaker 17: second level and being the lead I think for somebody
• 52:01
  Speaker 17: like Blue, they might be able to really spring some
• 52:03
  Speaker 17: good runs or even turpin back there.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 52:04
  Speaker 17: Yeah, that puffman line up and just blow somebody up
• 52:07
  Speaker 17: would be awesome.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Well, if you tell them that you're not probably not
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: good enough to do that, and you're probably not quick
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: enough to go and hit these linebackers and and and
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: to get off the ball that quick, you're probably just
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: not good enough, which is what it sounds like he's
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: heard his entire life and it just motivates him like okay, yeah,
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: I mean he is a hold my beer a type
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: of player, you know, like, oh okay, you don't think so.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: All right, well that's cool, and he's probably motivated like
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: hell with the drafting of a booker, you know, so,
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: But yeah, can you get in there?
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Can you?
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Can you mix it up? You think you could play fullback?
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I think you could.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: When we snap this ball, you can get off the
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: ball quick enough and don't get hit by the running
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: back behind and get that linebacker in the hole. And
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: then when you do, let him know that you did,
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: because that's going to be the fun part is just
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: the collisions. And so I love it. I think it's
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: a great idea. Should we should implement that ourselves? All right, Josh,
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: good stuff. I mean I've always liked that big defensive
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: tackles or another offensive linemen. It's better than your third
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: tight end, you know. And when your third tight ends
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: a guy that is supposed to be out there and
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: and help you. But think about when you when they
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: go to three tight ends, how often do they really
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: pass out of that? I mean it's not it's not
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: often where they say, all right, we're gonna fake it,
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: we're gonna go play action, and these three tight ends
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: are going to go in a route. The three tight
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: ends are your guys that you're gonna get out there
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: in thirteen personnel and you're gonna run the ball. Are
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: those tight ends that the Cowboys have had are they
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: better at block or blocking the defensive ends and linebackers
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: just because they're tight ends. I'll say it all times.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Just because your tight end doesn't mean you can block.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: And just because you're a big you know, just because
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: you're a guy like Hoffmann or something like that doesn't
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: mean you can do it from that fullback position or whatever.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: I always like that tackle eligible player as long as
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: they report, because if you don't report, you know, bad
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: things can happen. You got to report to the refs.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: As long as you do that, I think that could
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: be pretty good. All right, let's go to Irene and
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: Falls Church, Virginia.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, good, how are you doing?
• 54:17
  Speaker 15: Good?
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: Good?
• 54:19
  Speaker 12: Hey, I'm gonna pivot real quick because Josh's call triggered
• 54:23
  Speaker 12: something for me. Do you guys, I know you're joking
• 54:25
  Speaker 12: that you're gonna talk to the coaches. Is there a
• 54:28
  Speaker 12: like a written rule or an unwritten rule about things
• 54:30
  Speaker 12: like that, or does that ever come up where you're like, hey,
• 54:33
  Speaker 12: this idea, what if do you float things to them? Ever?
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: It depends on your relationship with the coach and and
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: and you know, like if you have a good enough relationship.
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: But I think it's it's it's done differently than that.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's almost like you got to remember coaches
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: have egos, we all do. But I mean, so it's
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: it's done more like you know, I'm sure you guys
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: have talked about this, have you do you guys ever
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: throw around like different scenarios, different different players, you know,
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: like its fullbacks and stuff like that, blockers like either
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: a defensive guy or another lineman. I mean, is that
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: something you'll do with something else? I guy, like a
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: Hoffman or something like that. That's how I would approach it,
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: not like, hey, got a question for you. You know,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: I got right, I gotta play for you here. It's
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: called this Yeah, yeah.
• 55:30
  Speaker 12: That sounds like my job too. And I'm like, okay,
• 55:33
  Speaker 12: let me build up this right right, yo, so I
• 55:36
  Speaker 12: can get what I want out of um.
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: Right. I'm sure you guys have already thought this, uh,
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: and you're probably working on I'm just curious what would
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: a guy like Hoffman be good for that?
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: And so oh yeah, that's something we do. You know,
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: and then they'll tell you like, oh, you know, we
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: talked about that kind of stuff, but you know, well
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: we'll see. That's what they'll say, we'll see. So you
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: don't really get the answer you're looking for. But again,
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: it's all about about your But I would never be like,
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: you know, emailing a plague to on codes and saying
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: run this.
• 56:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, a little too much there. Okay, So I
• 56:11
  Speaker 12: had a question about it sort of, I guess about
• 56:14
  Speaker 12: mini camp and looking to training camp. I have not
• 56:16
  Speaker 12: heard much about any of the undrafted free agents, and
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: I know I think this year's class there's some intrigue,
• 56:24
  Speaker 12: but less so than in year's past because we've done
• 56:27
  Speaker 12: a little bit more. You know, George Pickens kind of
• 56:30
  Speaker 12: blocks a lot of excitement. But Holden is one I
• 56:35
  Speaker 12: was looking at because I know he's fast, and I
• 56:37
  Speaker 12: think there's there was some thought that he should have
• 56:40
  Speaker 12: been drafted. And then just because I'm a uva fan
• 56:44
  Speaker 12: Neville and his story are interesting to me, He's a
• 56:47
  Speaker 12: tight end. Has anyone shine I know it's harder in minicamp,
• 56:52
  Speaker 12: but has anyone kind of sparked any intrigue that you'd say, Okay,
• 56:58
  Speaker 12: we got to at least keep an eye on on
• 57:00
  Speaker 12: the list for practice squad for training camp. And then
• 57:03
  Speaker 12: before we answer that, just in case Chris cuts me off,
• 57:07
  Speaker 12: I have to take up Ali on his offer. If
• 57:11
  Speaker 12: if he asked for my phone number, I would love
• 57:14
  Speaker 12: a Poblio rosary and picture from him, an Ali original
• 57:18
  Speaker 12: for my mom because.
• 57:19
  Speaker 8: She would love that.
• 57:20
  Speaker 12: So I had to get that out there. I'll take
• 57:22
  Speaker 12: your answer off air on the EDF face.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm not sure.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure what just happened there before. Maybe
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: there was a conversation that I missed or forgot about
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: that last part about phone numbers and stuff. I don't know.
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: But to answer the first part, the football part, holding,
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: you know, that's a guy that I've seen him, you know,
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: doing some things. Now I can't I can't tell you
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: that I've seen a ton of plays that he's made. Again,
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: it's it's cropper, uh if illinoy mingo. Those are the
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: guys that I've seen make the most plays. But you know,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: this is just one hour a week that we see
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: they've been doing many you know, this week as mini
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: camps we get to see all the practices. But you know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: well we'll get to see a lot more training camp,
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: and that's the thing about receiver. And then then you
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: get to preseason games too, Like you could be rather
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: relatively quiet and getting go to a game, have a
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: sixty three yard touchdown, and next thing you know, you're
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: you're You're the guy that's at least going to be
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: on the practice squad. Maybe you make the team. I
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: remember a guy I can't remember his first name. It
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: might have been Jaylen, because every other receiver is named Jalen,
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: but Jaylen Geiton maybe was his name. He was a
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: local guy, and he didn't do a lot in training camp,
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: and he was a little disappointing. And then I think
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: in the preseason game he had like an eighty yard
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: touchdown at the very end of the pre season and
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: he still got cut, which I was shocked because I
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: was like, this will this will get you on the
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: practice squad, or maybe they tried to get him on
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: the practice squad. But he goes to the Chargers and
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: played three or four years. He may still be in
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: the league. I'm just saying what my point is is
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: that one play here and there, when when the lights
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: are on, when there's a scrimmage against the Rams or
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: when there's a preseason game that that'll move you from
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: the ninth receiver to like the sixth receiver very quickly.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: And on the flip side, you could be having the
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: greatest training camp be all Oxnard twenty twenty five, and
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: then don't do anything in the preseason and that'll lower you.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: So it goes both ways there. All right, John and Delaware?
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 59:49
  Speaker 16: Hey, the guys doing good. I'm pretty good, so e
• 59:54
  Speaker 16: static about this year. I'm just excited about the all
• 59:58
  Speaker 16: season time. My birthday is on on Monday. I got
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 16: a question, do you have any idea we completely done
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 16: with side players this year? Off some of the defense
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 16: a little bit more?
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: John, can you say that one again? I'm having a
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: hard time hearing you. I heard your birthday was last
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: week and then maybe what.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 8: Siding my birthday is Monday.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 16: I'm just wondering any tense that we make any more defense?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, Well let's take that off the air.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks John, thanks.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: For the call. Appreciate it. Sorry I had a hard
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: time hearing that, but I did. I did get the question.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: Are they could they make more moves on defense? Could they?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: They could Will they Yeah, they probably will. They probably
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: will make more. Now will they be significant moves that
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: will be across the ticker of you know, whatever you're
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: watching on ESPN or INFL network. Maybe not, but yeah,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: they'll add players, of course. I think I think the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: two to watch would be cornerback and defensive tackle. But
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: right now, they're gonna see what corners, see what they have.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: They want to see what these guys can do. They're
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: gonna let mcwamou. You know, it looks like he's a corner.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Now they're gonna let him, you.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Know, get out there.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: And I mean he's he's a bigger corner and you know,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: he's done some stuff in the slot that's been interesting
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: for him. He gave up a play to Pickens, you know, yesterday,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: but again Pickens is tough to cover. I mean, this
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: is a tough cover for him. So but he's also
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: you know, mccambo's had his moments too where where it
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: played in the right way and the right scheme.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: He could be interesting.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: But to answer your question, I think what you do
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: this time of year is you see what you have.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: You see if Jay toya it can do something at
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: defensive tackle, you know, you see what a King Besota
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: can do defensive tackle, and you're gonna give him some
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: opportunities because those guys that are out there are out there,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: and they're probably still going to be out there at
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: training camp and some some of them into training camp
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: because they don't want to be at camp in the offseason. Now,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: are they getting their bodies ready to be available to sign?
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: That's that's a question. But this is the time where
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: you see what you have. You see what Revel can
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: do at cornerback and see if he's going to you know,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: how how ready he's going to be and win. And
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: when you get closer to it, then if you decide
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: you know what we're gonna need to make a move,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: then then you then you make a move. We've seen it,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: We've seen it happen with these guys in the past.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: We've seen Anthony Barr sign here in training camp. We've
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: seen Jason Peters sign at the end of training camp.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: We've seen Lennval Joseph sign. You know, that was that
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: move has been talked about for like three months, but
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: they wanted to see what they had there and they
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: also I don't think Lenval Joseph had any interest in
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: signing until when he did. So, there's a couple of
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: different scenarios happening there. Let me go ahead and get
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: robbed from Vegas in because I need to go to break,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: but don't. He's established to the point where I don't
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: want to keep it holding brob what's that mean?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 19: Nick? How's everything good?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: You're getting referenced a lot in this show? I don't
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: know if you've been hearing it.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I was listening Dylan. Dylan's my guy. He's he's
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 19: a fellow New Yorker, So I listen, am I right?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: But everybody everybody's right here, like like, you're not saying
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: you want Dak to throw it forty times?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 8: No?
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 19: Because that means we're probably losing, right right?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 19: Okay, No, no, listen, I just want to say this.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 19: I know it's a team sport. I know twenty two
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 19: guys or whatever, but to me, we all know it's
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 19: all about the quarterback. If the quarterback doesn't play good, yes,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 19: don't win, right unless something weird. I'm a Dack fan
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 19: as a man. His mother up in heaven. She did
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 19: a great job. He is a great man, and I
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 19: have daughters, and yes, if one of my daughters brought
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 19: him home. Absolutely, He's a great man and I think
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 19: he's a very good quarterback. I think he is a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 19: top ten quarterback when everything is going good. My issue
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 19: with Dak is simple, and there's there's three injuries. When
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 19: he gets hurt. They're big injuries and they're starting to
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 19: stack up.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 11: Now.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 19: I don't believe in well, if you had an injury
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 19: two years ago, now you're injury.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: Probably no.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 19: But he's had some big injuries that affect his wheels,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 19: like Emma Smith used to say, say, and it never
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 19: hurt his legs. When you start to hurt your legs
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 19: that affects, I'll set you. My other issue with him
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 19: is he plays great against a lesser competition, but his
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 19: record against good teams is not good. And as a fan,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 19: I always assume we're going to the playoffs. The super
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 19: Bowl is the goal, so you have to beat these
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 19: good teams to get there. We talked about it. They
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 19: have a tough schedule this year, and everybody that's saying,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 19: well they're going to go I don't know, nine and
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 19: eight or whatever, because they have them losing all the
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 19: games to good teams well, and what's the point you
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 19: have to beat those teams. And the third thing is
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 19: in the playoffs, he just doesn't look the same. And
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 19: I'm not I don't blame every loss on him, but
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 19: when you look at him on the sideline or you
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 19: look at him, he looks nervous. He just doesn't look
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 19: the same. So that's my knock on him. I need
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 19: you to take that stuff. There were players out there
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 19: you could we could talk about Jalen Hurts do. I
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 19: think Jalen Hurts as is a better thrower than dak No.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 19: But in the playoffs and in the super Bowl, he
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 19: performs his best. And I give a guy a lot
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 19: of credit for that, you know, and everybody says, well,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 19: he's got a great team or well, Troy Aikman wasn't
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 19: asked to do a lot. I thought he I know
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 19: he could have, but he played in the system that
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 19: the Cowboys said.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 7: This is what we're gonna do.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 19: We're gonna probably run the ball a little more because
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 19: we've got a.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 9: Great old line.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 8: We got on it.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 19: But when when throws need to be made, I need
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 19: you to make them. And that's what Jalen Hurts does
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 19: that I give him credit for that. And he's got
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 19: a ring. So that's my only My worry about that
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 19: is I need you to pick it up in the
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 19: in the playoffs, because I am assuming this team, if
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 19: they stay healthy, should make the playoffs. I think they're
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 19: better on paper than they won last year.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 8: And if they.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 19: Want to run the ball, they don't need to run
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 19: the ball more. They need to run better. Last year,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 19: it seemed like you could pencil him in. It was
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 19: going to be second down and eighth and I now
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 19: it'd be better if it was second done and five. Yeah,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 19: you know, And that's all I'm saying.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 18: Run.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 19: You're never going to be a running team. You have
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 19: a sixty million dollar quarterback, a thirty five million dollar
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 19: wide receiver, and now you got pickings. There's no way
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 19: that the OC is going to turn around and look
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 19: at those guys and say I'm not going to throw
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 19: the ball. No, you have to throw the ball. You
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 19: just have to run the ball better. That's it, and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 19: and it will help that. It will help every There's
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 19: only like Josh Allen's like the only quarterback that they say, listen,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 19: I need you to do it all. Take out the trash,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 19: make the coffee and do everything else. Even Patrick Mahomes,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 19: as great as he is, Andy Reid understands if we
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 19: could run the ball, were way better team. So no,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 19: I'm not I'm not saying don't run. I'm just say
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 19: run better.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: I got it, all right, Rob, thanks for calling in
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: and saying that I'm gonna hit hit these points as well.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: That you that you mentioned. Always appreciative of the call, captain,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: one of the captains of our All Storyline team. And
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: by the way, just so y'all know, and I appreciate
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: no one asked me, but I will say this. All
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: of the Yetie mugs went out in the mail this week.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: They're all out there. So be looking on the lookout
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: for that. If you made the All Storyline Team for
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: second or third team, you should be. And everybody who
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: said they wanted the blue one or the black one,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: we were able to accommodate that as well. All right,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: the stuff about DAK you know, and about being a
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: running team and all that, I mean, the big thing
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: about it is is can you run when they think
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: you are running? When it's when you're up by four
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: with four minutes to go, oh, and you really want
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: them to burn timeouts or we want to chew up
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: some time, and they know you're gonna run it, can
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: you run it? And that's when I think about the Chiefs.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: I remember some games where they in the playoffs where
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: Pacheco they just ran out the clock and everyone knew
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: they were playing the Bills.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I think everyone knew they were going.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: To do it, but they still figured out a way
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: to run it just just well enough, just off the edge,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: just enough to to be effective in doing it. And
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: that's what a good running team is to me, and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: and that and I say that and use that example
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: because I'm pretty sure most of that game, Mahomes and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: Kelsey they were doing their thing. But when it's time
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: to run and you get in the red zone, can
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: you be a good running team there? You don't have
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: to run all the time, But when it's time to run,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: do you have the ability to do that? And the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: other points that he made you know about him. The
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: big injuries, Yeah, they're they've been. They've been big the
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: playoffs stuff. You know, I think we remember the game.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: Was it twenty twenty two season where may had been
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: twenty one. They're kind of getting my years mixed up
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: a little bit. I think it was twenty two where
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: Dak the season ended in San Francisco. He threw a
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: couple of interceptions, didn't have his best game, and you know,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: that was a game Hollard got hurt. They ended up losing,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: and you know, that's how the season kind of ended.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: Was was.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: Thinking about that and Dak and the offense struggling. But
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: six days before that, they went to Tampa and it's
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: overshadowed now because of the San Francisco game, but it
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: was one of the greatest games any quarterback in the
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: NFL history has ever played in the playoffs. Statistically, I mean,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: it's unbelievable what Dak did that day in Tampa Bay.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: I think I have to look at it might have been.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: Like four hundred yards or a three hundred yard game
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: with four touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. It's just something
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: that just hasn't I don't think it had ever been
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: done by a quarterback. So but he backed it up
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: the next week in a bigger game, on a bigger stage,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: against a better opponent and didn't play well or at
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: least to that standard, and that's what was remembered. And
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: then you know, so does he have the ability to
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: step it up and play well in the playoffs. Yeah,
• 1:11:22

• 1:12:59
  Speaker 18: A hey man? Two things, and I'll try to make
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 18: a click.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm long would appreciate it.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 18: Edelman was an undrafted free agent of ours. If I
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 18: remember correctly, you're tell wide receivers went on to do
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 18: other things with other teams. Edelman, right, I think, so
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 18: didn't you play for us for a little bit?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: If he did, I don't, I don't think so. I'm sorry,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say no to that one.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 18: Julian Edelman, Yes, I could have swere it was the
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 18: cowboyd for a little bit.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: And I'm I'm missing something here. Chris, You've got a
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: good memory to Edelman. No, I know you're scaring me
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: because I'm getting older.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 8: And I'm like, man, I am too, man I could
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 8: have I could have swore it.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: I think you're thinking of Danny A. Mondola. I think
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: that's who I am.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 18: Who I'm thinking of. Yeah, you guys are right, my
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 18: memory is coming to.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a that's a fair comparison in a lot
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: of ways.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: All right, what's up?
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 18: And second, I think Troy said it best. It's not
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 18: he was announcing a game and it wasn't against the cow.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 18: It's just one of the announcing games. Said the Buck
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 18: said to him, he said, well, you guys were a
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 18: running team, and he said, no, we passed the ball
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 18: in the first half and we're very balanced team, and
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 18: we just ran the ball well in the second half.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 18: It made us look like a running team, but we
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 18: got the lead and then we ran.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was trying to say. Yeah, but
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: but you don't have him at Smith, so let's be fair.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 18: I agree, and we don't have that line.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 18: Maybe all right, Hey, happy birthday all your girls in
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 18: the mind. To talk to you guys later.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: Thanks Robbie, appreciate that. All right, I like it. Let's
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: go last, last caller, last for Minnesota.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: What's that man?
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 15: Hey, Nick, how's it going out there?
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 15: I got a couple of points and one question. The
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 15: first question, how's my offensive our offensive line looking do they?
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 15: How's it looking like that? The second point, as I
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 15: always say, in our nineties team, we use the offense
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 15: as a weapon. So hence the offensive line and hence
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 15: running the ball. And I don't mean run the ball
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 15: twenty five thirty times, but the foundation of any good
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 15: offense should be running the ball because Dak is a
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 15: better play action passer, et cetera, and so forth. And
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 15: like I said, once their safeties creep up, you can
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 15: throw it over the top and that's all I have.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: I know you got to be quick, man, I appreciate it.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lester for the call.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be our last call of this offseason before
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: we get to training camp, so that'll be the last
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: call that'll be quiet without the mower. No, thank you
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: for the call. Great stuff. And as far as the
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: running game goes, like, yeah, it's what I said with
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: when you know that you're going to run, that's what
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: made that team so good. Nate Newton used to tell
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: the guy in front of him, we're running it right here,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna block you. Moose is coming and then
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: Emmett stop it and you and you couldn't. And so
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: that's that's what made them so good. And that's you're
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: not going to get that back because you're probably not
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: going to have that type of running game. But you
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: got to be able to run that football when when
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: teams are expecting you to run it, still figure out
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: a way to to to run it. And you know,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: I think I think that that that's what they're that's
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: what they're establishing, that's what they're trying to do. You
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: don't have to turn into a running team. You don't
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: have to turn it. You don't want to be any
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: kind of team like that. You want to be a
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: good offense. You don't want to be a running offense,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: a passing offense. You want to be an efficient offense.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: That you know, and I say it all the time
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: about bus drivers. Okay, sometimes bus drivers drive in a
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: school zone twenty miles an hour, and your goal is
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: to not hit anybody and make sure everyone gets there
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: and on time. And sometimes the bus driver is used
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: to take the football team six hours to another game,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: and you need to get an hov lane and you
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: need to go seventy five eighty miles an hour because
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: traffic was bad here. You got to get to the stadium.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: So I know you're the bus driver, but step on it.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: That's what an offense should do. There's times you go slow,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: there's times you go fast. There's times you're grinding out
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: the clock, and there's times that we're down by seventeen
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: and we got to score quickly. If you can do
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: all of that at some point, that's what's gonna make
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: them a great offense. And so we'll see if they're
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: good enough to do that. Great show, great calls. Appreciate it.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: Gonna miss you guys for the next few weeks. Can't
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: wait to get started again back in Auxtar. This will
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: be again our last week of shows. We still got
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: shows here in the studio for the next few weeks,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: including the break here in a few minutes. But it's
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: been fun as always, Chris Beam, can't do it without you.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: Appreciate everything you do and thanks to everybody. Remember the
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: Yettie Muggs are coming out. They're out this week, so
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: you should be able to see them. Maybe I'll jump
• 1:18:15

• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: you guys at some point in the offseason. Have a
• 1:18:22
